In fact, Xu Qin's worldview is only a short-term cognitive deviation between modern and ancient times.
After a few days, he gradually blended in and got used to it.
In ancient society, male dominance was strong and women's status was extremely humble.
This sudden situation made him temporarily nervous and embarrassed.
It seems to be beneath his dignity as a man.
But when I think about it, I just do as the Romans do.
It is said that in ancient times, maids from powerful families would accompany the male protagonist in the bath.
In many movies and TV dramas, when emperors and dignitaries take a bath, they are served by maids beside the bathtub or barrel.
Besides, taking a shower and rubbing your back is a practical necessity, so how can you wash yourself cleanly?
In fact, while Xu Qin hesitated for a few minutes, Qiaozhen did not stop what she was doing.
It is her duty to serve the young master, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
She first picked up the soap locust and combed Xu Qin's hair.
Men's hair in ancient times was no shorter than women's.
Xu Qin's hair is already very long, and it is troublesome to wash and comb it.
Qiaozhen was careful and skillful. She patiently combed his hair and washed it several times before completing the first part of the job.
The action is very professional.
Next, she dampened the linen towel in the warm water in the wooden bucket, twisted it twice, and then washed his face and neck.
Next, rub your back and chest.
Indeed, my body, especially my back, has grown into thick bruises after not having anyone rub it for several months.
Wiping off a lot of sweat and mud, Xu Qin even blushed with embarrassment.
Qiaozhen's technique is spot on, both powerful and gentle.
While rubbing it with a linen towel, he also kneaded his chest with his slender hands and teased it with his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally.
Her delicate hands were as tender and white as spring onions.
The tips of the clean nails were stained with water droplets and glowed with colorful cyan under the light.
Nail maintenance was a hobby of ancient women, probably to show off their charm and charm.
Xu Qin suddenly felt that Qiaozhen's jade hands were a bit like what Lu You described in "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix":
Red crisp hands, yellow wine...
This is probably a characteristic common to Jiangnan women.
He closed his eyes tightly, seemingly enjoying the service, but in fact he was very nervous.
He was resisting the temptation from this charming concubine.
Xu Qin never thought that he had Liu Xiahui's determination.
But a man's self-esteem forces him not to be able to withstand the temptation at the beginning, show his true nature as a wolf, and become a prisoner under her pomegranate skirt.
Otherwise, it would be a waste of points.
Although he is aware of his power as the male protagonist, he is more concerned about his poor self-esteem.
You cannot let the other party see through your own human weaknesses at once.
But as the rubbing area progressed, Xu Qin's body slowly betrayed itself.
He clenched his teeth so hard that his muscles all over his body were tense and stiff.
And what's even worse is that what's under the water surface reacts so loudly.
Fortunately, this large basin of hot water can serve as a fig leaf for the shadowy water.
Who is Qiaozhen?
She has been receiving various skills training since she was a child, and she has long known that this young and handsome male protagonist has been holding back.
Mrs. Zhang bought her back with ten taels of silver three years ago and made her a concubine for Xu Qin.
Her heart was filled with joy.
Fortunately, God is merciful and does not give money to those old ministers who are in their dying years, or ministers and princes with many wives and concubines.
Her childhood and adolescence were difficult and oppressive, but she hopes that she will have the opportunity to change her destiny in the future.
But God's calculations are worse than those of people.
Unexpectedly, when she entered the Xu Mansion, it was the turning point of the Jingnan Campaign.
Jianwen started to go downhill this way.
Xu Qin followed his father, either in the military camp thousands of miles away, or when he came home and sighed.
In the blink of an eye, two years passed, but what happened was that the Xu family was ransacked by Jin Yiwei, and the Xu family and his son were sent to prison.
Seeing that the Xu Mansion was about to be destroyed, the young master miraculously turned the tide.
In the past few months, the young master has been busy and has no time to pay attention to her.
Maybe he didn't even look at her a few times.
Tonight, she thought, was an opportunity.
The royal family returned the stolen gold, silver, jade, furniture, etc., and everyone in the mansion was very happy.
In the evening, when the young master took a bath, she went into battle in person.
She is nineteen years old this year, and she is already in love with her.
Xu Qin's nervousness and embarrassment made her mistakenly believe that the young master was still the same immature child when it came to love between men and women.
She seemed very natural, not impatient and eager to take advantage of her.
"Young Master, I see you are sweating again on your forehead. Please relax your body. Is it because your slave is not serving you well and you feel uncomfortable?"
Qiaozhen covered her mouth and smiled.
"Oh, that's not the case. I'm lying a little uncomfortable and want to stir it up. Please help me get a bowl of tea. I'm a little thirsty."
Xu Qin was too nervous to move just now, and his neck and waist were a little sore. He wanted to put Qiaozhen away and get up to stretch his muscles.
"Um…"
She smiled and stood up, walked out of the concierge, and went outside to get tea.
Qiaozhen twisted her waist and left. Xu Qin hurriedly dived his head and whole body into the water to wash, then stood up and began to move around the basin.
He bent down and kicked his legs for a while. When he turned around, he found Qiaozhen standing quietly behind him.
Her eyes were full of spring, her face was as red as a ripe apple, and she was staring at his toned and strong body without blinking.
Seeing Xu Qin turning his face, she quickly turned her head slightly, lowered her pretty face shyly, and murmured softly:
"Are you... okay?"
"Oh...Okay..."
Xu Qin quickly jumped into the bathtub again and fell into the water. The splash of water splashed on Qiaozhen.
"Here, warm tea..." Qiaozhen leaned over and handed over the bowl.
"Gudong... Gudong..."
Xu Qin took it and drank it in one breath, feeling much better.
But before he could take a few more breaths and put down the empty bowl, Qiaozhen had already stepped on the wooden stool, raised her legs and put the bucket into her arms.
After entering the bath water, she squatted down and stretched out her delicate white hands to scrub the remaining parts of her body for him.
"Hey, stop, stop... front... I can do it myself."
Xu Qin waved his hands in panic to prevent her from taking the next step.
Just now, I could barely bear the scrubbing behind me, but now I moved to the front of my body, and the two of them were facing each other.
Then all his truth will be exposed.
Qiaozhen was just stunned for a moment, looking at his shy look, which was really cute.
She blushed, her face gleaming brightly, she covered her mouth and sneered:
"Why are you so shy... Young Master! This slave has been your woman for a long time. If I can't even serve you to take a bath, then what's the use of my life? It's better to die."
Qiaozhen cried half-seriously, and squeezed out a few fox tears.
In ancient times, those who could be called heroes were not only invincible on the battlefield, but also had to be invincible and invincible when it came to conquering women.
The beauty of the country has always been the ultimate goal of men.
Is it difficult for a hero to be a beauty?
What kind of man is it to shrink in front of a woman?
