21. A little vermilion on the lips

The Bai family courtyard is not far away. After everyone arrived, they settled down and bandaged up.

At night, Yunsheng lay in the silky brocade quilt, looking at the sachet on the bedside in trance.

However, in just one day, from saying goodbye to Master Xingxin to being assassinated by a paid assassin, life and everything around him have undergone fundamental changes.

He has not seen his father and mother for more than ten years, and has not entered the home for more than ten years. He does not know what is waiting for him.

Everything is unknown.

The next morning, Yunsheng got up early.

But after I sat up and saw the large carved mahogany bed in front of me, the silky brocade quilt, and the silver carbon stove in the corner that was slowly heating up, I remembered that I had already gone down the mountain.

This is not Lingyun Peak, and there is no Master Xingxin waiting outside his door early to take a walk with him in the morning.

There are no more bamboo groves scattered all over the place, apricot blossoms all over the sky, Wuyou practicing swordplay in the morning, and Uncle Yuanshui drinking wine and talking and laughing.

A maid outside the door asked softly: "Is the eldest lady awake?"

Yun Sheng responded lightly: "Yes."

"Then the slave comes in to help the young lady wash up."

The door was gently pushed open. Yun Sheng looked at the maids who filed in, but he laughed at himself, thinking that he had been here for fourteen years, and now he felt that he had really arrived in ancient times.

Yunsheng looked at the various rouges and gouache on the dressing table, as well as the complicated and exquisite gold, silver and jade ornaments in the jewelry box, but their weight should not be underestimated.

She gently blocked the rouge in the maid's hand and said calmly: "Just comb your hair into a simple bun."

And this simple outfit took less than half an hour.

Yunsheng was wearing a Tianshui green coat and skirt. Half of her waist-length hair was scattered behind her back, and half of her hair was tied up in an exquisite bun on top of her head. She was fixed with a suet-fat white jade hairpin carved with apricot flowers, and several small pale pink jade hairpins.

Pearl flowers were scattered on the temples, and on the fair face, no makeup was applied, only a faint hint of vermilion on the lips.

The whole person looked elegant and delicate, and his movements seemed to exude a faint aura of flowing clouds.

Several maids laughed and praised: "The eldest lady is really beautiful. When the eldest lady returns to Chang'an City, she will definitely outshine all the noble ladies in Chang'an City."

Yun Sheng looked at his somewhat blurry image in the bronze mirror and smiled lightly.

Yun Sheng came to the main hall and saw Bai Wu, Wu Bo and others already waiting.

Bai Wu lost a lot of blood due to the injury, and his face was very pale, but he still forced a smile and asked Yunsheng: "How did the eldest lady rest at night?"

Yun Sheng smiled slightly and nodded: "Uncle Wu and Uncle Wu took the trouble. I slept very well."

Uncle Wu smiled and said, "Miss, why don't you have breakfast first?"

Bai Wu also nodded at the side: "The eldest lady took a short rest. Last night, he sent someone to inform the master. The master learned that the eldest lady was frightened, so he sent someone to escort the young lady back to Chang'an overnight. It will be too early for the eldest lady to be used up.

After lunch, let’s set off.”

Yun Sheng nodded, and then said to Bai Wu: "Uncle Wu hasn't had breakfast yet, so let's eat together. It just so happens that I also have something I want to talk to Uncle Wu about."

Yun Sheng originally thought that he had not returned to the Bai family for so many years, and yesterday it was obvious that someone did not want Yun Sheng to go back, so he wanted to ask Bai Wu about the current situation of the Bai family.

But before Yun Sheng could speak, Bai Wu stood in front of Yun Sheng, clasped his fists and bowed deeply, and said: "What happened yesterday was something I didn't expect. The tired young lady was frightened. The old slave is looking at the young lady here."
