At the door of the house outside the small courtyard of the Mother's Tower, the sound of banging on the door woke up the sleeping guards.

They opened their eyes from a hangover, and the leader jumped up first and threw himself at the door, what happened?

Did something happen to the young lady?

At the door stood the little girl who often dealt with them, Shen'er.

Behind Shen'er is Yang'er. The guards naturally recognized their young lady's personal maid.

"What's going on?" asked the team leader in a panic as he hurriedly disguised his hangover and his embarrassed appearance that he hadn't freshened up.

His first feeling was that something must have happened to the young lady, otherwise Miss Qin'er would not have come to him in person.

It's over, it's all to blame for their gluttony, greed for drinking, and drunkenness.

Qin'er gave a gentle salute: "Brother Guard, please come in if there is something inside." ”

What's going on inside?

The team leader became more and more worried, peeking at Qin'er's face, the little girl's face was calm, and she couldn't see joy and sorrow. It should be that Miss is fine, if something really happens to Miss, Qin'er must have cried so much. That is, the young lady learned that she took the lead in drinking, and she wanted to reprimand and punish her face-to-face?

Punish it, just punish it, as long as the young lady is okay.

The team leader steadied himself and followed the two little girls into the door.

Ever since they lived here, they had never had a chance to set foot in this door.

Qin'er led the way and brought the team leader to Miss Zhang's door.

"Miss has something to tell you. After saying that, Qin'er went in.

The team leader stopped his steps, hated that he couldn't bend into a prawn, and said in his heart what the hell, the young lady's illness is serious and she needs to explain the future? Then she shouldn't explain it to herself--Is it really to investigate the matter of drinking last night, but how did she know about it in the courtyard? Could it be that the person surnamed Bai leaked the news? The surname Bai looks very reliable, and he is actually a long-tongued man?

"Let me in. A woman's voice said.

The team leader could tell that this was the dumb girl.

"You say come in, then let it in. It was an unfamiliar voice.

The team leader bowed his head and bent down, and slowly entered the house. Then I slowly looked up, and first saw the dumb aunt, this girl is said to be the child daughter-in-law of a large family, but after all, she came from a poor family, so she often shows her face, and it is not uncommon for them to see her.

Rarely, he saw Miss Zhang Zilan of his own family. Of course, it was the first time he had seen him, but there was no third person in this house except for the dumb aunt and Qin'er, so this person must be Zhang Zhizhou's daughter.

Miss Zhang usually lives a beautiful life in the Zhizhou Mansion, so they don't have time to see these low-level guards.

Even a few months ago, he was ordered by Lord Zhang Zhizhou to escort the young lady all the way to the Forgotten World Tower, and in the days that followed, he had been guarding the safety of the young lady, but these people had never seen the blessing of the young lady's true face with their own eyes.

I didn't expect to see you today.

Miss naturally has the appearance of a young lady, she looks good, and she looks good, she is really slim.

The leader hurriedly glanced at it and lowered his head, he didn't dare to look directly.

"These are two hundred taels of silver, and you should divide it among your brethren, for you have come out with me these days, and have suffered. Miss said, Miss's voice is neither high nor low, not in a hurry or slow, and when she hears it, she is a woman who has been taught very well since childhood.

The team leader hurriedly picked it up.

"Go back and prepare, after these days of praying in the Tower of Forgetfulness in the morning and evening, plus my careful conditioning, now that your young lady's illness is cured, you can go back." The dumb aunt said.

The team leader was so surprised that he almost took off his silver, and he couldn't help but look up at Miss again, indeed, Miss looked slightly ruddy, her hair was black, her body was neither fat nor thin, and she looked like a healthy person.

It turns out that Miss is really good!

"It's best to set off today, come out these days, my father and mother will definitely miss me. I want to leave right away. Zhang Zilan said softly.

The leader of the team retired, ran out of the courtyard and went straight to the hut where they lived.

"All right—our young lady is all right—" the leader screamed and rushed through the door, and with a whoosh, threw a piece of silver to one of the brothers, and threw another ingot into the other's arms.

The two hundred taels of silver were quickly divided, and each of the five men was forty taels.

Forty taels of silver in white flowers is a lot.

One of the youngest guards was dumbfounded as he held the silver, and simply put it in his mouth and bit it with his teeth, and with a clatter, he bit out a white mark.

"Really?!"

The brethren shouted for joy.

The silver is real, and it is also true that the young lady has been cured.

In this way, the days of living in this far away place from home, and fearing to be guards, are coming to an end.

It's over, it's too boring here.

Everyone quickly picked up things, but in fact, they didn't have anything to pick up, just a little personal belongings. Soon, they had already made a small burden, the leader fed the horses and carts, and within an hour, everyone was waiting at the gate of the small courtyard of the Forgotten Tower.

The door opened, and Zhang Zilan walked out, Zhang Zilan was wearing a light white cotton shirt, and a small red flower was pinned to her left chest. The long hair is also just a simple bun, only dotted with a row of emerald green luodian on the left sideburn, and the face is not powdered, looking red lips and white teeth, and the natural pigment is pure.

The guards just glanced at it secretly, where did they dare to take a closer look at the young lady's face, but everyone was more down-to-earth, the young lady did look like a healthy person, and there was no sign of illness.

Thinking of the time when he came, the carriage was carrying a sick and terminally ill young lady, and now escorting a lively young lady back, the guards were happy in their hearts, exchanging joyful eyes with each other, and this trip back to Lord Zhang must be happy, and there must be a reward for a happy one. Thinking of this, a cheerful smile suddenly filled every face.

There was one person who was very upset. It's Liu Wan. His mouth was pouted, the corners of his eyebrows drooped, and he looked listless and decrepit like a mourning woman.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, you just take me with you—make sure to be obedient, make sure you don't move, and make sure you don't affect the mood of you and Miss Zhang—" He was sticky like a fart. Suddenly raised his feet and wanted to take off his shoes, "I know that Miss Zhang's car is fragrant, are you worried that I will stain the incense car? No, you smell it, people's feet don't smell, I washed it before going to bed last night, and this hair was also washed just a few years ago!"

Saying that, he really bent down and picked up his shoes.

"You dare!" the dumb girl snorted, reached out and grabbed Liu Wanhou's collar, and pulled back and kicked.

"Murder of my husband—help—" Liu Wan shouted exaggeratedly.

Several of the guards were dumbfounded.

This is said to be the son and son of a rich family from Lingzhou Mansion and his daughter-in-law, how can the young couple be so interesting, dare to flirt like this in front of so many people?

The smallest guard couldn't help but laugh.

However, their leader didn't smile, and turned around and glared at the guards behind him, "What's so strange? Don't underestimate this little lady, she has a strong ability at a young age, and our young lady is what she has cured." ”

This was a fact, and the guards were silenced.

The dumb aunt stretched out her hand and touched Liu Wan's face, "Listen to Qian'er's words carefully, don't make trouble, don't climb high and lie low, pay attention to safety, I'll be back soon." ”

"And 'murder and arson', do you want me to do it?" Liu Wan retorted.

The dumb aunt ignored him and pulled Zhang Zilan to the bottom of the tower.

Shen'er had already taken the prepared incense, the two of them entered the tower, and inserted incense in the incense burner in front of a wooden table, but the dumb aunt did not worship, Zhang Zilan was very attentive, knelt down respectfully and bowed three times, folded his hands and said: "There is no Buddhism here, such as Guanyin, and there is no Taoist Jade Emperor Laozi, I Zhang Zilan worships today, one is not a god, and the other is not a fairy." These three bows are to a good sister in this world, she helped me when I was most desperate, and she has personally accompanied me these days, and she saved the lives of both our mother and son.

I will never forget such a great kindness in my life. This time, the mountains are high and the road is far away, maybe it can no longer be common, and the words in the heart can not be told to the third person, so I can only use this white tower to briefly express the sincere wish of the little woman's heart, I wish my sister a safe and happy life, a harmonious husband and wife, and a happy life. ”

Whispering softly, Ying Ying bowed.

The dumb girl stood quietly behind her and listened.

When she heard her wish her husband and wife a harmonious, safe and happy, a touch of sadness surged in her heart, whether she could get these ordinary happiness in the world, she felt a little ethereal.

Zhang Zilan went out after worshipping, looked back at the towering tower deeply, with a sad smile on the corner of her mouth, here left the most unforgettable memory of her life, she may never have the opportunity to come here again in this life, she wants to engrave its shadow deeply in her heart.

accompanied Zhang Zilan back, in addition to Qin'er, the dumb aunt also walked together.

Liu Wan saw that the dumb aunt really didn't take herself, she got into Zhang Zilan's carriage by herself, and was about to leave without even looking back, he pounced on and dragged the car gang, "Stinky mother-in-law, you're really ruthless! I hope you meet the fourth sister on the streets of Liangzhou, and be caught and sold by her! It's better to sell it into the human nest!"

Hearing the fourth lady and the human nest, Shen'er also pounced on the dumb aunt's arm, "Little grandma, you must not go, the fourth lady can do anything." ”

The dumb aunt looked thoughtfully at the people who were sent off outside the car, Shen'er Qian'er Chang'an and Liu Wan, and Bai Ziqi, she looked around everyone's faces, her eyebrows were lowered, and she smiled shallowly, "I will return safely - don't worry." ”

When the last three words were spit out between the delicate lips, he finally raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ziqi as if he was nothing.

The carriage carried the three girls and walked away.

Bai Ziqi looked at the dust raised by the carriage in a daze.

Liu Wan opened the courtyard door widely, "Cousin Bai, this time you can come in and play generously, the hateful guards have withdrawn, and the stinky woman is not at home, I have the final say in this courtyard, you can come in and play as long as you want!"

Xiao Jiuzi also followed, Shen'er wanted to hoe the grass in the vegetable field, and Xiao Jiuzi came up to help, and soon the two of them became familiar with each other, talking and laughing.

Bai Ziqi didn't enter the house and walked towards the White Tower.

Liu Wan followed behind him, like a little fart: "This tower can only go up to the seventh floor, but now it's good, it was repaired by the stinky woman, and it can climb all the way to the top." Cousin Bai, you don't know, that stinky woman has the ability, she cheated the money to repair the tower ladder from Miss Zhang's father, 10,000 taels of silver, she didn't spend it at all, but she was stingy, and she didn't even want to take me to Liangzhou Street for a big meal! I really don't know what she is saving money for? Is it to buy a dowry for herself?"

Bai Ziqi was amused by these words, and touched Liu Wan's head, "She is your daughter-in-law, the money she saved is naturally all from the two of you, and she is all yours, can she still marry someone else when she buys a dowry in the future?"

Liu Wan shook his head, his expression was a little strange, and his eyes were bright and staring at Bai Ziqi.

Bai Ziqi felt uncomfortable, and her heart was a little empty, so she deliberately pretended to be fine: "What are you looking at, don't you know?"

Liu Wan pouted: "True or false! You and her, you are too fake." Obviously you like her, and she likes you, why don't you always admit it, and pretend that it's okay. I can't stand it anymore. What else do you want me to do, I wrote all the letters of resignation, and she is no longer my daughter-in-law. ”

Liu Wan looked very aggrieved, like a child who tried his best to do good things but couldn't get recognition.

Bai Ziqi was told that she was a little ashamed.

But he had to look at the child again, this child had the impression that he had always been sick and crazy, that is, a little child who had been tortured by sheep epilepsy and half dead, when did he become so smart and thorough?

Liu Wan didn't force Bai Ziqi to admit anything, he just climbed down the stairs to the heights.

It's not easy for the stinky woman to be away, he can have a good time, but soon there was a shallow shout behind him, "Brother Wan'er, you slow down-be careful of slipping-you wait for the slave! The little grandmother doesn't allow you to go to such a high place alone, you forgot-"

Liu Wan turned around and stuck out his tongue to Bai Ziqi, with a distressed expression, "Alas, there is no way, as a man, a group of wives and concubines is like this, not free——"

This time Bai Ziqi smiled, and her face cramped with laughter.
