  Chapter 5 Recliner

  Fang Yi Ai waited until Fang De led the person to bring things over, then got up and walked out of the room, came to the yard, and put several large bamboo chips into the water to soak.

  Fang Yi Ai took a look at the wood and tools, thought for a moment, and then started working. At this time, everyone else had already left, but Fang De curiously flowed down because he wanted to see what the second young master was going to make. Fang De saw Fang Yi Ai manipulating the plane so skillfully that he thought his eyes were blurred. When did this second young master learn woodworking? Fang Yi Ai worked enthusiastically, feeling very satisfied in her heart. It seemed that she hadn't forgotten the woodworking skills she learned from her grandfather in her previous life.

  Fang De rubbed his head, what's going on here? The second young master is actually taking the initiative to work as a carpenter. If Master finds out, who knows how he'll punish the second young master? Fang De treated Fang Yiliu like his own child and couldn't bear to let him be punished. Seeing Linglong leaning against the door frame smiling quietly, Fang De said somewhat displeased: "Linglong, you can still smile, why don't you hurry up and advise the second young master? If Master finds out, the second young master will probably suffer again."

  "Housing manager, I advise you to be useful, I would have advised earlier, unless Master comes over" Linglong said with a smile, she didn't want to stop Second Young Master at all now, just let him mess around, maybe he could really make something out of it.

  Fang De heard Ling Long's words and was at a loss, he would never tell Master about this matter, that would be harming Second Young Master. So Fang De ran outside and instructed: "Fang Quan, come here, from now on, keep your mouth shut tight, whoever dares to chatter in front of Master, see how I'll deal with him." Fang Quan knew the severity of Housekeeper Fang's temper, so he obediently responded with a "yes" and ran out to pass on the order.

  Fang Yi'ai quickly finished the six brackets, then picked up the large bamboo slices from the water and bent them with force. However, after bending, the bamboo slices immediately returned to their original shape. Fang Yi'ai looked at Fang De, who was panting, and said: "Uncle De, trouble you to help me make a fire, these bamboo slices have too much elasticity, they need to be heated by fire to maintain their shape."

  Fang De now also knew that he couldn't stop the second young master from being eccentric, so he could only agree and lit a fire in the courtyard. Fang Yi Ai held the bamboo strip over the flames to roast it, this was a delicate task, if not done properly, the bamboo would break. Fang Yi Ai carefully felt the curvature of the bamboo in his hand, due to being next to the fire, and Fang De didn't know the situation, so he made the fire burn fiercely, causing Fang Yi Ai to sweat profusely. Ling Long watched from the side, feeling especially heartbroken, this second young master was really something, these tasks could be given to the servants, but no, he had to do it himself. Ling Long squatted beside Fang Yi Ai and used a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat on his face. Looking at Fang Yi Ai's serious expression, Ling Long suddenly realized that the second young master actually had charm too, but how come she hadn't noticed before?

  Fang Yiai exerted himself to the utmost, using all his strength to roast two bamboo strips into a U-shape, which would serve as the armrests of the reclining chair. However, the parts that were roasted turned black. At this point, Fang Yiai finally stood up, but after crouching for so long, his legs felt numb and he was slightly unsteady on his feet. He almost stumbled and fell to the ground, but Linglong quickly supported him with a swift hand. With a hint of annoyance, Linglong said: "Second Master, be more careful, okay? If anything happens to you, how can I explain it to the mistress?"

  "Linglong, don't worry, it's nothing. I just have a bit of numbness in my legs, walking around will be fine." Fang Yiai also knew that Linglong was telling the truth, if something really happened to him, Linglong would probably not fare well either. Looking at Linglong's delicate and beautiful face, Fang Yiai felt that he was truly blessed, such a beauty was actually his maid, if this were in later generations, he wouldn't even be able to beg for it.

  Fang Yiai sat back down on the bed with Linglong's support, and as soon as he sat down, he felt exhausted all over, and fell asleep. Linglong came in from outside carrying a basin of water, originally wanting to let Young Master wash his face, but found that Young Master was actually sleeping on the bed. Linglong shook her head, and that stunning face still had a faint smile.

  Linglong put down the basin and helped Fang Yiai take off his shoes, then covered him with a quilt. After doing all this, Linglong propped up her chin and lay on the bedside table, looking at Fang Yiai's face. Linglong thought that this Young Master really didn't know how to take care of himself, sleeping in the middle of the third month without even covering himself with a quilt, not afraid of catching a cold.

  It wasn't long before Fang Yiai opened her eyes and saw Linglong, who was dozing off on the edge of the bed. Fang Yiai let out a sigh, patted Linglong's lovely face and smiled: "Linglong, if you're tired, go rest, why bother keeping watch over me?"

  "Second Master, you're awake. I'll get you another basin of water. The one I prepared earlier has gone cold," Linglong said excitedly, and then she thought to go fetch the basin. Fang Yilai hastily grabbed her hand and laughed as he said: "Linglong, I'm not that pampered. Washing my face with cold water is actually quite refreshing. You sit here for a moment!" After saying this, Fang Yilai didn't care whether Linglong was willing or not, and he pressed the beauty onto the bed. He himself walked to the basin with a swagger and started washing his face. Indeed, using cold water to wash one's face on a spring day was quite refreshing.

  Linglong had no solution at all, she thought that this second young master was too unconventional and didn't have the slightest appearance of a young master.

  At night, Fang Yi was scolded by Fang Xuanling at the dinner table. The old man glared and said: "Jun Er, what did you do this afternoon? I heard that you took away those few large bamboo pieces from our house. Be careful, if you dare to make trouble again, I'll break your legs."

  The house left Ai saw his father's trembling beard, a face of helplessness, now he himself had become the focus of surveillance, and a little wind would attract other people's attention. Fang Yi straightened up and covered his mouth to stifle a laugh, but was pinched by his wife Du Shi, who was standing next to him, and couldn't laugh anymore. He gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, and now it was Fang Yi Ai's turn to laugh, apparently this older brother was also under the control of his wife. Fang Xuanling saw that Fang Yi Ai still dared to laugh, suddenly felt a bit of dignity lost, and angrily scolded: "You little brat, you still dare to laugh, don't you hurry up and tell me what's going on?"

  "Dad, I really didn't do anything wrong! I just used those bamboo strips to make something, I promise I didn't mess around. Besides, Linglong is still watching me, how could I dare to be reckless?!" Fang Yiai explained with a mixture of tears and laughter, wondering why the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty had so little faith in his own son. What Fang Yiai hated most right now was that original green hat king, Fang Laoer, who had done something wrong and made him take the blame. Cursing him would be cursing himself!

  "You old thing, what are you yelling about? Are you going to let us eat or not? If you're full, then get out of here and go back to the study! You can sleep in the study tonight!" Lu saw that Fang Xuanling's face was black with anger, her son had just calmed down, but this old thing started throwing his weight around again. So Lu was very angry, and thus the Grand Chancellor of the Tang Dynasty suffered a tragedy, he would have to sleep in the study tonight.

  "Ah, madam, the study is very cold, besides, I'm doing this for Jun'er's own good. He said it himself that he just needed to get some things done, but now you're making me suspect something! " Fang Xuanling looked up innocently, his left hand still in a claw-like shape towards Fang Yiai. Fang Yiai saw the old man starting to intimidate this young man again and could only appease Lu Shi by saying, "Mother, don't be angry, Father is also doing this for my own good. And with Father's leg condition, it's not suitable for him to sleep in the study, let's just forget about it this time, it's not a big deal anyway."

  "You're an old thing, look at you, you're already at that age and still no son who understands things. On account of Jun Er's face, I'll spare you this time. If next time you dare to show off your prime ministerial authority during meals, see how I'll deal with you." Lu Shi doted on Fang Yu Ai, stroking his big head, saying fiercely to the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister. The Tang Dynasty Prime Minister had no way to deal with his wife, could only nod in resignation.

  After returning to his own western courtyard, he saw Linglong sitting on the bed waiting for him. Judging from Linglong's appearance, this little girl probably didn't do anything after eating and just sat there waiting for her young master to return. Fang Yiai patted Linglong's shoulder and said gratefully: "Silly girl, you don't have to wait for me in the future. After dinner, you can do whatever you want, even go out and play if you like." Hearing Fang Yiai's words, Linglong was very moved. She had never seen a master treat a slave so well before. Linglong smiled and shook her head: "Second young master, I'm just a little servant girl. Serving you is my duty. What you said are things that only the young mistress can enjoy. If I do that, wouldn't people criticize me? Besides, the madam asked me to take care of you, how could I put you aside and go out to play?"

  "Fool, I've told you before, Second Master, my body is perfectly fine, no need for you to take care of me, I have hands and feet!" Fang Yi Ai sat down beside Ling Long with a big smile. Ling Long looked at Fang Yi Ai sitting down and quickly stood up out of habit. Fang Yi Ai saw this situation and sighed, shaking his head: "Ling Long, don't be so formal, okay? You make me feel very awkward, am I that scary? If you feel uncomfortable, just imagine me as a small servant or a pug, then you won't be afraid!"

  Linglong heard Fang Yiai's nonsense and burst out laughing, covering her small mouth with a pout: "Second Young Master, who speaks like this? You actually call yourself a little dog! If the old master hears about it, he'll definitely whip you!" Fang Yiai had never seen Linglong laugh so happily before. When she laughed, she was really beautiful, just like Wang Yuxiang, making people want to protect her at first sight.

  Fang Yi'ai held Linglong's hand and said: "Silly, smile more, you really look good when you smile."

  Linglong didn't respond, but instead smiled and asked: "Second Master, isn't it a bit early for bed? Are you going to change into your sleepwear?" Fang Yiai was taken aback upon hearing this. It was already the hour of Xu, which is equivalent to around 8 pm in modern times. Who can fall asleep at this hour? Fang Yiai stared blankly and said: "Linglong, isn't it a bit too early for bed? Can one even sleep at this hour?"

  "Second Master, isn't it time for bed? You usually rest at this hour!" Linglong said with a puzzled expression. What's going on with Second Master? He's even forgotten what time he sleeps! It's really pitiful. Fang Yiliang only reacted now, thinking that in the Tang Dynasty, there wasn't much entertainment after dinner, and without sleep, what else could one do? No wonder ancient people had so many children - it seemed they just turned off the lights and did nothing but make babies! Looks like I need to find some fun for myself, or I'll suffocate in this Tang Dynasty.

  Fang Yi Ai is still not allowed to play until today, so he should just go to bed obediently. Fang Yi Ai nodded in agreement, and then saw Ling Long reach out to undress him. Fang Yi Ai was shocked and tightly grabbed his clothes, stuttering "Ling Long, what are you doing?"

  Linglong rolled her eyes at Fang Yilove's reaction, "Second Young Master, I just wanted to help you change clothes, it's what I should do!"

  This time, Fang Yiai realized that she had made a fool of herself again. Now in the Tang Dynasty, changing into warm clothes and serving as a maid was a basic requirement, but Fang Yiai's soul came from the 21st century, and she was not used to these things at all. Fang Yiai could only smile awkwardly: "Linglong, my head has some problems, I still can't adapt for a while, I told you that you don't need to serve me, I can do it myself. You should go to sleep quickly, you're also very tired."

  After coaxing Linglong away, Fang Yi sat down on the edge of the bed with a thud. The evil old society!

  The next day, after waking up, Linglong was standing by the bed and smiling at him. Fang Yilove thought to himself that he was only wearing a pair of white briefs, and felt embarrassed. He said: "Linglong, can you please go out for a moment, let me put on my clothes?"

  Linglong covered her mouth and burst out laughing. Today, Linglong was wearing a white silk dress with a light yellow blouse, and a patch of white skin on her neck that looked as delicate as snow. Fang Yilove's eyes widened in surprise. Linglong, not being polite at all, directly lifted the quilt and laughed: "Second Master, what's there to be embarrassed about? You need to get used to it slowly, or you'll be laughed at by others." Fang Yilove was speechless this time, never expecting that usually gentle Linglong would be so bold. Since Linglong didn't mind, why should he, a grown man, be afraid of anything?!

  The early bird gets the worm, but the sleepy man gets hurt. Fang Yi Ai was under Ling Long's naked gaze, blushing and twisting as she put on her clothes.

  Linglong looked at this second young master, and a ripple stirred in her heart, unable to express it clearly!
