The little chicken soup in the kitchen happened to be prepared by Daddy for breakfast. He has always been a chilling character, and things are gone overnight, so he naturally needs someone to give a reason.

So early the next morning, I pulled Ashi, who was puzzled and aggrieved, behind me and confessed to my father that I had eaten it secretly.

Daddy obviously didn't believe it, and sat at the table with a black face as if he had lost the ingot of gold and silver, "Don't talk nonsense, can you eat two portions of food alone?" He looked up at me again, "You don't have a big face today, you smile like a flower, do you admit your mistake?" ”

I touched my face and said, "I don't know, I'm happy." Seeing Daddy's eyebrows, he hurriedly changed his words, "No, it's not that I was happy to steal food, I met something good last night, my brother...... "I've been kind to me recently, but I've been gentle."

Daddy didn't care what happened to me, turned around and took a steamed bun on the table, interrupting me, "Who else eats?" Are you and Axi? Then let her give the money. ”

I was stunned, and when I saw Ah Xi with an indignant look, I hurriedly grabbed her, glanced at Majesty Xià, who turned in from the inner room, her eyes lit up, and she said loudly: "And brother, brother and I ate together." ”

Daddy's face sank.

Holding the scroll in his hand, Shi Shiran walked towards me, and the velvet light behind the door outlined a half-arc halo on his porcelain face, which was unprovoked.

He glanced up at me, and understood everything, and did not deliberately cooperate eagerly, but just hummed lightly and sat on the side silently.

I was even happier in my heart, and secretly poked Ah Xi and asked her not to be surprised, isn't there still a brother to help us back.

Daddy snorted, as if to quench his appetite, took two more steamed buns from the bowl and was about to go out.

I hurriedly called him, "Daddy, Daddy still drinks some porridge in the morning, and the stomach is uncomfortable when he eats steamed buns, it's not too late!" ”

Daddy stood by the door and scolded, "Why didn't you think of me when you stole chicken soup last night, you were so angry." After flicking his sleeves, he hurried away.

Ah Xi has always been thick-skinned, otherwise he would not have been able to work in my house for so long, but this time he was a little angry, and his eyes were red.

I stood in the room embarrassed, and I moved over, took out some broken silver from the money bag, and handed it to her, "You have been wronged this time, my father is this character, and I will inevitably make you wronged in the future, I am really sorry." ”

Ah Xi wiped his eyes, took the silver without any burden, and stuffed the money into his pocket while crying: "If it weren't for Childe and Miss, I would have stopped doing it a long time ago, and I would have deducted my wages every day, and I had to find him from time to time before the end of the month." Well, it just so happens that this month I still owe my lord some money, and I took it to pay off the debt. ”

I wiped my sweat and patted her on the shoulder, signaling her to relax.

His Majesty, who had been reading a book on the side, suddenly glanced at me: "Where did you get your money?" ”

Ah Xi was stunned, as if he had just reacted, and looked at my face becoming unbelievable, but he had no intention of taking out the money that had been settled, and he started to cover it.

I covered my lips and coughed dryly, and said to Ah Xi: "You go down first." ”

Ah Xi looked complicated and left.

I waited for her to go away before I went to the table and took a steamed bun: "It was given to me by Ji Yunqing, and I promised to send him a meal at noon today, these are the money for the box and the money for the meal." ”

"You're easy to buy." His Majesty also walked to the table and sat down, "If you don't go to the same place with him in the future, you have to learn to pay attention to it, and it's better to have less contact." ”

His Majesty's eyes swept to the mung bean porridge on the table, and I immediately got up, found a clean bowl for him, handed it to him, and nodded hurriedly, "What my brother said is that I didn't think it through." ”

His Majesty said lightly, "It's just that since you agreed today, don't ruin your reputation." After a pause, he put a weighty money bag on the table, "Take the man's soft hand, after you have seen him, return all the money to him." ”

I was silent, reached out and opened the crack in the money bag, and the bright golden light inside made me dizzy and unbelievable, "For me?" Weighing the feeling of his hands, he was worried for a while and rejoiced, "Where did my brother's money come from?" ”

His Majesty glanced at me, as if he had gained three points of satisfaction from my shocked expression, and snorted happily, "Naturally, I earned it myself, even if I don't have to go back to Beijing, it's more than enough to raise you." ”

My eyes immediately lit up, "Brother is wise and martial!" I didn't know it! ”

Well, I should know a little bit about it. Since I was a child, I would not discuss with my father about pocket money, and sometimes seeing that I was poor and sour for a long time without new clothes, he would also order Ah Hua to take me to the street to buy some, and from time to time bring some snacks back to me to try.

But at that time, he didn't like to take care of me, let alone tell me about him, so I always thought that my brother had a lot more pocket money than me, and often went to his place to eat and drink.

His Majesty took a slow sip of porridge, "What do you know besides playing?" He slowly took a spoon and added some sugar to the porridge, stirred it twice, "I can take you to the shop when I am free in two days, I can also take you to the shop to see, how to say that it is also the first time to do business, and now I think about it a little nostalgic." ”

I thought it must be some gadget business, and I was even more interested, and asked, "What kind of business?" ”

"Tea."

I retracted my interest and nodded, "Yes, that's it." ”

His Majesty glanced at me from the corner of his eye, and saw my lack of interest, and pondered for a while, as if asking, "What do you think is good?" ”

I nibbled on the steamed buns, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Jewelry, rouge, clothes." ”

His majesty snorted, indifferently withdrew his inquiring gaze, as if waiting for this sentence, and answered very smoothly: "I'm not interested in what you say." ”

“……”

……

Daddy didn't come back at noon, so he sent an entourage to carry the only food box and some meals in the house.

I walked around the house, and my leg and foot were not healed and I couldn't climb over the wall. I couldn't go to the main gate of Jifu to keep food, so I could only ask Ah Xi to help me hold the bamboo ladder and climb up by myself.

When he was shouting, "Ah Xi, you hand it high and hold it firm", His Majesty walked out of the study, glanced at me when he passed by the front yard, but he seemed to catch a glimpse of people at all, went to the backyard and came back with a clean hand, and then asked me in passing: "What are you doing?" ”

I stood on the bamboo ladder, "Daddy took the food box away, and I didn't have time to buy a new one, so I handed it in a normal basket." ”

The words were about to fall, and on the ladder that was also erected on the other side of the wall, Ji Yunqing slowly handed over the melon and fruit in my hand, and said happily, "Huh? I heard that this fruit is delicious. ”

His Majesty withdrew his gaze, mumbled, and didn't speak again.

There were a lot of messy snacks prepared for Ji Yunqing, and they passed this wave by the way, and some of them were not brought over, so Ah Xi had to go back to the house to pick them up. But she stood on tiptoe under the ladder, a little afraid to let go.

I urged her twice, and then I heard her earnestly instruct, "Miss, you can be careful, if you fall again, you will really have a scar!" ”

As he spoke, His Majesty had already sat back in the hall, looking at the bustle of the courtyard through the open door half-indifferently.

I snorted dissatisfied, trying to strengthen my own majesty in front of Ji Yunqing: "Am I a person who can fall if I climb a wall?" You can climb it without a ladder. ”

Ah Xi laughed twice, "Yes, you can't climb a wall and fall, you only fall on the ground." ”

My face shook, I was very unwilling to get hot, "It's good to mention what a flat ...... fall on the ground"

There was a commotion, I asked Ji Yunqing to wait first, we are both people with inconvenient legs and feet, so when Ah Xi went back to get something, he had to retreat down the bamboo ladder and stand at the base of the wall.

When I have nothing to do, I look down at my knee, the new injury has just scabbed, and the large movement is naturally a little painful.

It doesn't feel right to move twice, look left and right, Ji Yunqing shouldn't have a tendency to climb over the wall, and it doesn't matter if he sees that he is used to it, he leaned down and rolled up his trouser leg a little, touching the gauze stained red with blood, and was stunned.

In an instant, I felt that my body suddenly weakened a lot, and my heart panicked.

Subconsciously looked up in the direction of His Majesty, and saw that he had already gotten up and stepped over, and grabbed my hand with a thoughtful look, telling me to lean on a little.

I fainted and didn't speak, so he sat down with him, gently and skillfully removed my gauze, and asked casually, "Did you knock your knees?" ”

I shook my head and thought about it for a while: "When I went down the ladder, I accidentally touched my foot when I lifted my foot, but I didn't feel too much pain at the time. ”

"Well, that should be it, the scab that just formed yesterday was knocked off, and I have to reapply the medicine." His Majesty's voice was very calm, and he beckoned Ah Xi, who was carrying something, and asked her to go and get the medicine box again.

I heard that the scab was knocked off, and my scalp was numb, and I didn't dare to look at the wound anymore, and I felt that His Majesty's expression was not quite right, so I asked him again: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

His Majesty looked up at the wall and made sure that no one was probing, and then he suddenly leaned over to the root of my ear and asked softly, "Did you also have a scar on your knee in your previous life?" When did you get it? ”

The warm breath sprayed in my ears, such a close distance made me unprepared, my breath was stagnant, and I subconsciously avoided slightly, almost failed to listen to a word, and it took a long time to come to my senses, and my heart was inexplicably worried, "When I was in Peony Villa, I don't know who pushed me down the mountain road." Fortunately, I grabbed the branch and didn't fall off the cliff, but when I climbed up, my knee grinded against the rock, and the wound was so deep that even Dr. Pear said that there was no way to leave a scar, so I left. ”

His Majesty's eyes were slightly dark, and after a while, he pointed to my also injured elbow, "Then is there here?" ”

I shook my head, "Only the knee remains." After a moment of silence, he felt that something was wrong, "Brother, how do you know where the scar on my body is?" ”

He didn't have any scruples, and said simply, "I saw it when I gave you an autopsy in my previous life." ”

Me: "......"

He glanced at me who was indistinguishable, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, he pondered for a moment, and his expression was serious, "I didn't look carefully, it was all reported by the eunuchs under him, so I want to ask you." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, "I see. ”

It turned out that the eunuch who performed the autopsy in the palace would even report a shallow scar on his knee, which was really serious and meticulous.
