Chapter 245: Men Taking Care of Children
Jingzhen carried the sleeping Baoya back to the inn and had to return her to Rong Bing first.
Seeing that it was inconvenient for him to hold Bao Ya, Rong He took the initiative to knock on the door of Rong Bing's room for him.
When Rong Bing saw that he had brought the sleeping Baoya back, although his face was not very good, he did not say anything to embarrass him. He said a few polite words, took Baoya, and turned to go in.
Rong He stood alone at the door, touching his nose awkwardly: "Then you should go back and have a rest, you have worked hard to take care of my cousin today.
Jingzhen didn't care about his address, nodded lightly, turned and left.
The next morning, Baoya woke up because she was hungry.
I was so tired last night that I fell asleep on Brother Xiaojing's shoulder halfway through the journey. As a result, I didn't even get to have the midnight snack I was supposed to have.
She climbed up from the soft couch in the inn and put on her clothes skillfully. On the washbasin rack in the outer room was the warm and clean water for washing her face that the inn waiter had just brought her.
She washed her face, tidied herself up, and then smoothed out the two small bangs on her head that were messed up from sleeping, intending to comb her hair again.
However, her hair had always been combed by He Chunxiu and Zhao Zhilan, so she spent a long time trying to do it but still couldn't get it right.
My stomach was rumbling again, so I had no choice but to go downstairs with my hair down.
On the first floor, Jingzhen was standing at the stairs, seemingly waiting for her.
When Baoya saw him, she immediately greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Brother Xiaojing!"
Jingzhen nodded, but when he saw her hair loose, his brows furrowed again: "Why don't you comb your hair?"
Baoya scratched her soft cheeks in embarrassment: "I don't know how to do it, does Brother Xiaojing know how to do it?"
Jingzhen shook his head.
He only knows how to tie a man's hair into a crown, but not a girl's hair into a bun.
"Then... I'll go ask Brother Rong and grandfather." Bao Ya said.
Although she said so, she felt that Rong He and Rong Bing would not do that either.
Sure enough, in the private room on the first floor, Rong Bing and Rong He shook their heads in unison.
"What should I do then?" Baoya was a little worried. She couldn't always keep her hair loose.
Moreover, it seemed that she was the only girl in their group this time...
Rong Bing knocked his hands on the table, thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Don't worry, Baoya. Grandfather will ask the proprietress of this inn to give her some money and ask her to help you comb your hair."
This is a temporary solution to the problem.
Baoya nodded, as if this was the only way for now.
However, just as Rong Bing was about to get up, a lazy and cheerful male voice suddenly sounded at the door of the private room.
Nan Xuan put on his human skin mask again. This time he was wearing a crescent-colored robe and was leaning against the door of the private room.
"Master Rong, why don't you let me try?"
Rong Bing looked at him coldly, clearly disbelieving.
Nan Xuan smiled and said, "I really can."
Nan Xuan didn't call him old man today, and his attitude was quite respectful. Rong Bing took a deep breath and said, "Yes."
Nan Xuan strode into the private room and casually placed a bag of snacks on the table.
"Green Bean Pavilion has newly released egg yolk thousand-layer cake, as well as special green bean cakes and green bean crisps."
Mung bean cakes and mung bean pastries were what Baoya wanted to buy last night.
When the little girl heard this, her eyes lit up: "Master!"
Nan Xuan smiled and touched her head: "It's freshly cooked and still hot."
In fact, he went to Green Bean Pavilion early in the morning and made it.
I wanted to comb Baoya's hair, but the little girl's stomach growled and everyone in the private room could hear it, so I had no choice but to let her eat some snacks to fill her stomach first.
After Baoya finished eating, Nanxuan pointed at Jingzhen with a mysterious look on his face and said, "I'll comb Baoya's hair, you have to help."
Jingzhen looked confused.
How could he help? Get a comb and a hairband to put flowers in?
But obviously not, Nan Xuan asked him to hold Baoya and sit on the chair.
Baoya was lying flat on his legs, with her head half hanging in the air, and he was supporting the back of the little girl's neck with his hand.
Seeing that the two of them had posed, Nan Xuan squatted on the ground with satisfaction and picked up the comb.
After combing Baoya's hair, I tied it into a simple high ponytail following the direction of her long hair.
Rong Bing, who was already stunned, said: ...
"Okay, you can let her sit up now." Nan Xuan was very satisfied with the ponytail he tied for someone else for the first time.
Jingzhen no longer had any hope for his craftsmanship, but he still followed his instructions, picked up Baoya, and let her sit on his lap.
Nan Xuan recalled the hairstyle tutorials he had seen on a modern video platform while he kept curling Baoya's long ponytail. Finally, he put it on the back of her head to make a round bun.
You know what, it’s really beautiful.
Well...it's mainly because his little apprentice is so good-looking that he can hold up.
Finally, he tied the hairband with a headband and inserted the hairpin flower into the hairband. A universal hairstyle suitable for both ancient and modern times was completed.
Rong Bing didn't expect that he could really comb Baoya's hair, and it looked pretty good, with a smile on his face.
He stroked his long, snow-white, smooth beard and said, "From now on, I'll trouble you..."
Before he could finish his words, Jing Zhen spoke up, "Master Rong, Master has a lot to do every day. Besides, I've just learned how to do it, so I can help Baoya comb her hair in the future."
"Alright," Rong Bing replied, "Thank you for your help then."
According to their speed yesterday, it would take another day or two to reach the capital. It would not be a good idea to ask someone to comb his grandson's hair on the road.
It’s just right to have Jingzhen to help.
With this episode, the tense atmosphere between Rong Bing, Nan Xuan and Jing Zhen eased a lot.
At the dinner table, while no one was paying attention, Nan Xuan stared at Jing Zhen meaningfully.
Jingzhen looked back without hesitation: What are you doing?
Nan Xuan gave him a look: "Is it that serious? I'm just combing my apprentice's hair."
Jingzhen glared back coldly: I can comb my hair better than you and I don’t even need help.
Nan Xuan sighed, looked away, and shook his head at his bowl of rice.
Alas, my apprentice has grown up, but his wings are not yet strong enough, and he has to start internal digestion!
"Master, what's wrong with you? Is the breakfast here not tasty?"
Baoya, who was sitting opposite him, noticed it and asked curiously.
Nan Xuan paused, and was about to answer when Jing Zhen said, "Master has had a poor appetite these days, so he prefers to eat lighter breakfasts."
"Oh." Baoya suddenly understood.
She looked at the white flour bun she had just put in her bowl, and the meat bun with thin skin and large filling in Nan Xuan's bowl, and picked up the buns very filially and flipped them over.
Then, with a flower-like smile, he said, "Master, I'll give you my steamed bun. Come and eat it!"
Nan Xuan:......
Jingzhen, you are really great!
