239 “Zhao’s Daughter [NP]” Chapter 238

Chapter 237 Slave’s Service

The young man led Zhao Shuyu into the house and bent down to help her take off her shoes and socks.

Zhao Shuyu suddenly felt uncomfortable. Although she was not limited to men and women, she was only close to a few men.

She still understands the secular etiquette, and women are not allowed to be touched casually by strange men.

Seeing that Zhao Shuyu wanted to dodge, the young man slowed down his movements and smiled warmly, “Noble man, don’t be nervous. This is how the slaves of Liu Mian Pavilion serve noble men. This is the slave’s duty.”

With that said, the young man knelt on the floor and carefully took off Zhao Shuyu’s shoes and socks.

Zhao Shuyu saw that the young man was calm and heard that this was the rule of Liu Mian Pavilion, so she couldn’t say anything else and reluctantly asked him to take off his shoes and socks.

Walking barefoot in the house, the teak floor is painted and waxed, and the light is discernible.

The room here is not big, but the furnishings are extremely exquisite. There are tall lamps, incense on the floor, and even a floor dragon. The room is extremely warm, and you don’t feel the cold winter outside at all.

A golden pear wood screen divides the house into two rooms, inside and outside. There is a low table and futon in the outside room, and there are many exquisite food on the table.

There is a red silk curtain in the room, the fragrance is lingering, and a soft couch can be faintly seen.

The young man led Zhao Shuyu to sit on the futon outside, and he knelt beside him, sitting in a pot and making tea.

At this time, except for the sound of rushing water coming from the hot pool outside, the room couldn’t be quieter.

Zhao Shuyu sat with some restraint, looking at the young man’s lowered eyebrows, clean and delicate face, and no trace of makeup. He was also gentle and calm in his treatment of others, and would not make her feel uncomfortable or bored.

Zhao Shuyu looked at the young man without any trace, watching him make a pot and hot cup, wash and pour tea, and finally brew a cup of fragrant tea and send it to her.

“Su Hua Luochun, a noble person should taste it.”

As far as drinking tea is concerned, Zhao Shuyu doesn’t have any special preferences. She only likes to add flowers to her tea, which looks good and smells good.

But nowadays, most people like plain tea. When Zhao Shuyu saw the fragrant plain flower Luochun in front of her, she couldn’t help but slightly arching her eyebrows, picked up the tea cup and blew on it. After taking a sip, she sighed softly: “It smells very good.”

The young man smiled slightly and said, “My lord, would you like some pastries?”

Zhao Shuyu glanced at the things on the table, and there were a few things she liked, so she nodded.

At this time, the young man took out the celadon plate, picked up two items with wooden chopsticks, put them into the plate, and then placed the plate in front of Zhao Shuyu.

Zhao Shuyu looked at the two pastries on the plate, and it was precisely the one she liked among the five or six.

If the garnished tea just now was a coincidence, then this pastry is too much of a coincidence.

Zhao Shuyu couldn’t help but look at the young man with doubtful eyes, but she saw the young man lowered his eyes and smiled, “When the noble man left the teahouse, he tasted the single-flowered jasmine. When he entered the room, he saw the snow jade dumplings and Bazhen cake.”

Zhao Shuyu suddenly became speechless and admired the young man’s insight and sensitivity.

The young man glanced at her, then smiled softly, “Noble man, don’t be surprised, these are what slaves should do.”

Zhao Shuyu paused and slowly shook her head, “We are all serving tea, cakes and cakes, and most of the time we ask for advice. There are few people who are as meticulous and thoughtful as you.”

As soon as Zhao Shuyu finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared in the young man’s eyes.

But then he smiled modestly and said, “You are so complimentary.”

Zhao Shuyu’s face heated up at the young man’s smile. She said “hmm” and quickly lowered her head to drink tea.

Seeing her embarrassment, the young man wisely left the low table and went to the corner of the room to add incense.
