[Naruto] Stunning

The midday sun slid from the window sill to the foot of the table. Because it was winter, the light was shallow and shallow, neither dazzling nor warm.The living room was full of old furniture and had nothing to offer other than being clean and tidy.Four people happened to be sitting at the square dining table—an old couple, a young man, and a young girl.They didn't look like a family at first glance.

The girl slowly ate the rice one by one, with a listless expression on her face, which was far from her usual high spirits.The old woman sitting on her left asked with concern: "Is it not to your taste, little girl?"

The vegetables on the table are all picked from the backyard of their own garden. They are fresh, but they are also very ordinary.Other than that, there was not even a hint of nastyness.Poor farmhouses have simple food, not to mention Daming Mansion, even the food in Huazui House is ten times better than here.The biggest advantage of mother Sang Jia Nai is that she will never treat those who work for her badly.

Before the girl could make a sound, the young man sitting on her right raised her big hand and pressed lightly on the top of her hair, bent his eyes to the old couple and replied, "I'm sorry, this guy has always been a picky eater, he can't even eat vegetables. Eat only the leaves and not the stalks."

Although it was true, the girl turned her head and glared at him immediately, not knowing whether it was because of his actions or his words, or maybe both.But the girl wasn't really angry.

The old woman smiled kindly: "Although picky eating is not a serious problem, it would be better to get rid of it."

The girl disagreed: "There is no need for this."

When she returns to Daming Mansion, no matter what delicacies she wants to eat, she will be fine!

"Hey, little girl, that's not the case." Although the old woman was still smiling, her tone suddenly became serious, and she stared straight at the young girl with some kind of firm eyes, "If two people want to be together forever The key is not to see if he can accommodate you to live the luxurious life you are used to, but to see if you can accommodate him to live the ordinary life he is used to."

As he spoke, he looked at his silent wife beside him and smiled, and the happy smiles on the two old faces were exactly the same.

"That's how we got here."

The persuasion words in the tone of someone who had experienced it made the girl feel puzzled for a moment, and she looked at them with a puzzled expression.The young man understood, a drop of cold sweat emerged from his forehead, and he embarrassed his handsome face.

"If you don't have this kind of awareness, even if you run away after a lot of hard work, you will be separated due to various reasons one day."

Only then did the girl suddenly realize that her current identity is the eldest lady who gave up her life of glory and wealth and eloped with the young gardener at home ╮(╯▽╰)╭

When she made up this lie casually, she hadn't thought about life after the so-called elopement.In fact, even though she has a man she likes in her heart, the girl never thought of "accommodating him to live the ordinary life he is used to" one day.

——From this point of view, the girl's "like" is indeed still immature.

However, she was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who was protected like blank paper.

In addition to the opportunity to grow up, it also takes time.

The girl curled her lips, wondering if she really understood what the old woman said.There was only a slight "pop", and the chopsticks were placed horizontally on the rice bowl. The girl got up and left the table, "I'm full."

There was more than half a bowl of rice in the white deep well bowl in front of her.

He took only two steps before he was stopped by the young man.

"Pear fragrance."

The girl faltered, and looked back at the young man with an incredulous expression, her already big and bright eyes widened: "...what did you call me?"

The corners of the young man's eyes twitched invisibly—didn't it be agreed before, and now he's fussing over what is going on!

He gave the girl a wink, "It's inconvenient to call you Princess if there are outsiders here. If you mind, I'll call you Lily of the Valley." Then the young man remembered why he stopped her, glanced at the white rice in her bowl, and said: "Don't waste it."

Food from poor farmers is especially precious, not like the famous mansion that spends money like water, and even the royal daughter would not understand the hard work of every grain.

Even if he didn't think about the friendship he spent with each other day and night for several months, the young man didn't want the princess of his own country to grow into a brain-dead nobleman who was very likely to say "eat cakes if there is no rice, and meat if the vegetables are not harvested".

Her usual wayward behavior cannot be unconditionally condoned, at least not now.

The girl frowned, and Nunu said in a tone of impatience, "They say I'm full."

The young man didn't say any more, just looked at her straight.The eyes are not sharp and severe, nor are they listless like usual, but rather like a good-tempered adult looking at his own child who has done something wrong but refuses to admit it to death.

If it weren't for such a difficult situation, the young people would probably be much easier to talk about than they are now. ——After all, he is not the princess' mentor, let alone someone of hers.No matter what kind of person the girl grows into, he has no responsibility at all.

After a stalemate like this for a while, the girl gave a "cut" sound, turned around and walked to the table as if she had compromised, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl, and then—the mouth of the bowl tilted, and all the white rice was poured into the young man's bowl middle-

_-|||

The girl had a smug expression of "Let's go to the head office now", and walked away with her chin held high.

The young man couldn't help drooping his dead fish eyes, and looked down at the rice piled up like hills in the bowl, thinking that he was too naive to expect her to change when he knew his mistake.

The young man sighed, raised his eyes and faced the old couple's kind teasing alone: ​​"Oh, the young man and the little girl have such a good relationship, I am so envious of the old woman."

——Where can you tell that they have a good relationship!Is there any leftover rice from that big half bowl! !

That afternoon, while the old couple hadn’t woken up from their afternoon nap, at the edge of the vegetable garden in the back garden, the young man stood with his back against the trunk of the fir tree, his hands folded, his half-opened dead fish eyes looking drowsy, The topics discussed were extremely serious.

He said to the girl who was swinging gently on the swing: "Princess, you have also seen the situation of this family. It is not easy to take in us two people with unknown origins. Just be patient a little longer, and we are expected to support you." Your ninja will arrive the day after tomorrow."

The girl was really not used to the poor and boring life here. Although she didn't complain directly, the depression on her face and the occasional unconscious temper revealed her irritability and unhappiness.However, the young man's judgment can only be given fifty points—in fact, her negative emotions are not entirely due to being forced to stay here.

The girl looked at the young man with an expression of looking at a fool, and asked in a bad tone: "When I return to Daming Mansion, what about you?"

The young man was a little surprised, but without any hesitation: "Of course I will continue to do what I should do."

As a ninja, there is nothing more than one thing to do-nothing else but to perform tasks.

The girl frowned, not knowing what she was thinking, then tilted her head to look at him, then changed the subject, and said, "Forget it, come and push the swing for me."

The legs that were twenty centimeters above the ground dangled back and forth.

"Yes, yes." The young man replied.

This request was not too much. The young man walked behind her, held the ropes on both sides with both hands and pushed forward, and the swing began to swing high.

At the highest point of the arc, the girl saw a cluster of colorful flowers blooming among the trees in the distance.

……

……

"Master Rika! Master Rika!"

Rika reluctantly opened her eyes, Yoshiko's expression on the bedside finally changed from anxious to relieved.Seeing her awake, all the maids performed their duties one after another.Those serving mouthwash, washing face, looking for clothes, and opening the curtains to let sunlight in, the princess's bedroom suddenly became busy in an orderly manner.

The morning sun climbed onto the girl's fair face, entangled desperately with the remaining sleepiness.In the end, Sunshine won a big victory - Lixiang was fully awake.

The girl who was forcibly called back to reality from her dream looked unhappy: "Who told you to wake me up?"

Li Xiang sleeps until she wakes up naturally every day, even if she sometimes stays in bed until the sun is high before getting up to take a shower, except for the daimyo couple and Xiude, no one will dare to come in and disturb her.

The maids looked at each other, Ryoko was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward and answered cautiously: "Have you forgotten? Today is the day when Mrs. Daimyo and the Princess of the Kingdom of Flowers are visiting."

——Tsurumi?

Rika thought for a moment, and finally remembered that there really was such a thing.But Lixiang has always disliked the princess of the country of flowers who "knows books and rituals", curled her lips and said: "The Daming Mansion doesn't hold banquets, what are they doing here?"

Ryoko shook her head honestly: "Master Lixiang doesn't know, and it's even more impossible for us to know."

No matter what the purpose of their trip was, Li Xiang felt that she didn't need to care at all.

After dawdling and grooming, Lixiang, surrounded by a large group of maids, went to the tea room in Daming Mansion to receive guests from other countries.Passing several colorful gardens on the road, Li Xiang glanced at the flowers of various colors—although the flower scenery is beautiful and incomparable, it does not please her at this time.

"You..." Li Xiang tilted her head and opened her mouth.Ryoko, who followed half a step behind her, quickly stepped forward and bowed his head to listen to the order, only to hear the girl's clear voice say: "Have you ever seen a flower with seven colors of the rainbow?"

Ryoko thought about it blankly, and replied, "I've never seen it before. Are the petals of seven colors? Are there such beautiful flowers in this world?"

Rika's gaze seemed to pass through the iron walls of Daming Mansion, and came to the sparsely populated wilderness.

The swing swings high, and the wind blows my hair back.If it falls at this time, it will definitely fall badly and ugly.But she is not afraid.

——She knew that there was a young man on the ground who would definitely protect her.

The field of vision becomes wider and wider as the swing swings into the air.Then Rika saw——

——There is a bunch of colorful flowers blooming in the yellow bushes in front of you.

"I'm not boasting. He Jian, this child, has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. He knows both books and etiquette, and he is proficient in everything..."

As soon as she walked to the door of the tea room, the voice of Mrs. Hana no Kuni daimyo came through the door, but the content of the words made Rika snort.

The woman who Rika thinks is as hypocritical as her daughter is still saying: "... No matter how you look at it, Tsurumi and Hidetoku-sama are very suitable. If the two countries can form an marriage relationship, it will be true. What a joyous event.”

——I like your size! ! !

Li Xiang rushed into her heart with a burst of anger, completely disregarding any etiquette, and suddenly pushed the door in: "No! I don't agree!"

Being proficient in elegance makes her a good match with her brother?What kind of joke is that?You can't count the prostitutes who are proficient in elegance in Lushui Street with two hands!
