I breathed a sigh of relief, and he opened his lips slightly: "Grind the ink."

While I was grinding, I asked for something to talk about: "Young Master, are you so busy today? Do you want to take it back to your room to continue annotating it?"

He dipped the tip of his pen into ink and wrote some winding words on the side of the page, and replied, "I'm not busy, but there are too many people and it's not convenient to do it in the study."

I remembered that Lan Mei was assigned to serve in the study, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I don't know what it is, so it's better to be careful first."

"That's right. By the way, have you kept the seal I gave you?"

"Don't worry, young master. It's well kept in my room."

As we were talking, the door was suddenly blown open by the wind, and a gust of cold wind came in. I stuck out my tongue, and quickly rushed to the door, closed it, and inserted the bolt. It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't even see a star. It must have been a cloudy night.

I walked back to Tu Shanjing with my hands folded. He looked up at me and said, "Also, I didn't have time to take the peony glass lamp during the day, so I put it on the small table next to the window over there. Don't forget it when you go back."

Then I remembered that I still had this new toy, and hurried to the table to have a look. The glass lamp and the lampshade were both on the table, and the light inside was very bright without flickering.

I picked it up and looked at the candlestick, but didn't see any fire. I asked curiously, "Young Master, how does this glass lamp light up? Why don't I see any fire?" I wonder if it's powered by batteries.

Tu Shanjing was still painting furiously, but he was able to answer me at the same time: "It contains the spiritual power of the fire element, which can sustain it for many years."

Oh, this is their environmentally friendly energy, I looked at it again and again out of curiosity, but couldn't figure it out, so I covered the lampshade and put it back on the small table. I turned around and saw Tu Shanjing put down his pen, closed his book, and stood up.

I walked up to him and asked, "Young Master, are you going to sleep?"

He rubbed his brows and hummed a little. I quickly used the scissors to cut off the incense burning in the stove, opened the lid and blew out the candle in the lampstand, and took the candlestick on the table to light up Jing. He sat on the bed and took off his soft boots. The bright and dim candlelight reflected on his face, which was quite beautiful and glittering.

I shook my head, telling myself to stay calm and not be confused. Suddenly I remembered that I didn't know where I was sleeping. Perhaps he saw my confusion, he lifted the green gauze curtain and pointed to the bedside. It turned out that there was a gap between the bedside and the wall, separated by the green gauze curtain, and a corner of the bed leg was exposed inside.

"Young Master, please go to sleep. Lanxiang rinsed her mouth and went to sleep."

He nodded, and with a flick of his hand, he lowered the bed curtain. I also rinsed my mouth, blew out the candle, and placed it on the small table. I groped my way to my small bed in the dark, fumbled to unfold the quilt, took off my coat, spread it on the quilt, and lay down.

I fell asleep smelling the gradually fading agarwood, and had a good night's sleep. The next day I woke up to the sound of birds singing, and it must have been bright outside the window, with golden light pouring in through the window paper. I rubbed my eyes and looked over to see that Tu Shanjing's bed curtain had not been drawn, so I guess he was still sleeping.

Suddenly, I saw something flashing outside the window out of the corner of my eye. I held my breath and looked in the direction of the movement. Two thin legs like bamboo poles kicked and stomped on the windowsill outside, and suddenly disappeared above the window. I bravely approached the door, gently opened a small crack and looked out. I heard a crane cry, and a sharp beak pecked open the crack of the door and rushed in with the sound of wind.

I fell to the ground in fright. When I turned around, I saw a long-legged, white-feathered crane with only its neck and tail being black and its head being scarlet. It was stretching its neck to look into Tu Shanjing's bed curtain.

A hand, as white as a crane's feather, reached out from inside the tent and slowly stroked the crane's chest feathers. The crane flapped its wings, stretched its neck and began to sing.

"Okay, okay, Lili, I know you are happy, so don't disturb others." Tu Shanjing's voice was a little low, and a little sticky, which was unusual, probably because he had just woken up.

I clapped my hands, got up, and approached the crane cautiously. It was not afraid of me approaching, and tilted its neck to look at me disdainfully.

"Um, Lord Lili, nice to meet you, nice to meet you~ No! I'm Lanxiang, don't you remember me?" I said with a smile while being on guard.

The crane touched my shoulder with its beak, as if it was inspecting me. I wanted to hide backward but didn't dare, so I could only stand firm with a frown.

"Gah!" He suddenly shouted in my ear, and I felt like my ear was pierced.

"What are you doing?!" I covered my ears and ran to the corner. This cat is really not giving me face. My ears hurt so much.

"Lili, don't bother Lanxiang." A pair of bare feet stretched out from the bed, with flat soles and toes, and pink nails. Then the white hem fell down. Tu Shanjing's face poked out from the bed curtain. It was not swollen at this early hour. His eyes were still as bright as stars and his face was as red as peach blossoms.

I was not used to the beauty critique when I just woke up, so I just stared at him blankly. I saw him stepping into his soft boots, standing up, hugging Lili's neck, patting it on the back, then looking at me and saying, "Lili was injured while chasing thieves with me a while ago, so I sent it to Huiling Valley to recover. During the day, ask the kitchen to prepare some sea bass and bring it back to feed it."

I bowed my head and said "yes", then asked, "Good morning, young master. What are you wearing today? When are you going to have breakfast?"

He pointed to the closet in the corner of the room and said, "Pick out something easy for me to wear. I'm going to go out on my Lili this afternoon. I'll go have breakfast after I wash up. You don't have to accompany me. Go to the kitchen to have breakfast, and then go to the housekeeper's mother-in-law to study. I won't be back in the evening, so I'll call you tomorrow."

I opened the door of the closet, and there were all kinds of clothes in all kinds of materials. This fox really knows how to dress up. I picked and chose a dark blue tight-fitting outfit, with the cuffs tied up and no layers, so I guess it wouldn't be able to take a ride when I flew into the sky.

Jing saw me take the clothes, nodded, stretched out his arms and waited for me. After I put the clothes on him, I was a little embarrassed. Sometimes I can't put on my own clothes properly. This man's clothes are different from women's clothes, and the angle is mirrored. I almost tied him up when I was tangling with him.

He looked down, sighed, and said, "Take Lili to the yard, I'll put it on myself. Just call Jingye to comb my hair."

I smiled sheepishly and waved to Li Li: "Master Li, please come in~" It walked out cautiously, and I hurried to follow, fearing that it would change its mind and not listen to me, and ruin my job again.

I saw it walk into the yard, drink some water from the small pond, eat some sweet osmanthus flowers, and have fun by itself. I felt relieved and went to find Jingye. Jingye had already washed up and was embroidering a piece of clothing. When I heard that the young master called her, she put down her needlework without saying a word and hurried away. I envied her speed and felt a little ashamed. I didn't know when I could do the work so neatly. But then I thought, this is not my area of ​​expertise, and my area of ​​expertise lies elsewhere. So I was relieved and happily went to the small kitchen to have breakfast.
