Outside the window, the trees growing right next to the shore of the lake swayed in the night breeze. ＝＝＝＝

Light and shadow are intertwined.

I cleaned the ingredients on the table and finished the evening meal according to the instructions of the chefs in the small courtyard after lunch.

Two dishes were added, and a snack was made by the way, which was the most ordinary osmanthus cake.

Since I left Treier, I haven't had the opportunity to learn the trade.

Besides, there is a big difference between making it for someone else and making it for someone.

After the pastry was steamed, I was about to lift the lid to taste it first, when the sound of footsteps approached, and I turned my head to look in the direction of the door.

At this point, the craftsman who can't wait for dinner to come to the kitchen to have a look?

Xiao Si's gentle face appeared at the door, and he was still carrying a burden in his hand.

He smiled at me and walked over.

Looking around, he saw that the table was also full of dishes containing dishes, and his expression was a little helpless, so he had to put the burden on the stool.

Then he began to roll up his sleeves, and there were no extra words, and of course, he couldn't speak.

"Hey, no, no." I hurriedly stopped him and said, "You, like the masters in the small courtyard, are waiting outside for dinner, and you have already asked you to help me go on a trip, and you haven't even eaten the dishes I cooked for lunch." "I'm about to give you one of the best dishes of the night, how about you?"

Xiao Si's face flashed a little shy smile, it looked quite cute, I smiled: "Have the female officers over there in the training ground ever embarrassed you?" ”

He gestured a few times and scratched his scalp in embarrassment. When it was my turn to apologize, "It's a pity I can't understand your gestures, so let's have a simple conversation." ”

After thinking about it, he said, "Little four, I'm talking about the problem." You just shake your head or nod your head, okay? ”

Xiao Si nodded, looking at me with a pair of clear eyes.

"Female officer, did you run into it?"

My first question.

He shook his head, which meant that I didn't have to worry about the question just now, maybe it was the time of his lunch break when he went. "Do you have lunch?"

He nodded. But after a sneaky glance at the stove, I understood what he meant. "I guess you ate where I used to live, right? It must be Sister Gu, what they got from the kitchen. By the way, I remember the day before leaving, the female officer promised us an extra meal in the future. “

I clapped my hands and smiled slightly: "With Sister Gu's personality." Won't let you come back hungry. I must have given you that extra food. "But the amount of food is only enough for a girl, and at your age, I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Maybe Sister Gu is willing to give you her share, but there is a special edible little pearl here, and she robbed it, right?" "So although you nodded just now, you actually didn't eat enough at noon, right?"

After saying a few words one after another, Xiao Si was surprised to hear it. He looked at me intently and waited for me to finish. He gave me a thumbs up, which means I'm right!

Well, it's not that hard to talk to him, is it? "You're lucky this time, you eat the first one of the freshly steamed osmanthus cakes on the stove."

I went to the stove and took the steaming pastry, put it in the dishes and handed it to him with both hands.

Sweeping my eyes to the wooden table full of things, I motioned for him to take the plate, and I walked over quickly, clearing a place where Xiao Si could sit and finish my steamed pastry

He was eating happily, and a few people who smelled the fragrance at the door finally came into the kitchen, but they were all blocked at the door and didn't dare to walk in directly.

They were worried that I would be angry.

The people who saw it had a share, and this cage of osmanthus cake was divided up by them before dinner

The scarface man sat across from the large table, and from my vantage point, it was exactly in a straight line.

His chopsticks didn't move very quickly, and he raised his head from time to time to glance at me, and he kept a close eye on the people around him who were eating together.

I looked at his cautious expression and looked funny, and then I thought about the task I was going to accept next, and my feelings were a little complicated.

This meal was a joy for everyone, and I was worried.

After dinner, Xiao Si and another elementary school student volunteered to clean up.

I need to ask Scarface for some details, and it just follows the meaning of the two of them.

Everyone had their busy business, and after the scarface man greeted me, he led me into the house.

Surrounded by treasures, he sat across from me at the wooden table in the middle of the room. "I called you here because I didn't speak in detail enough, and some things need to be confirmed with you in person." "I'm going to use the box you saw to temporarily replace the things sent from the Qing Si Temple." "Well, from the outside, there's no big problem." I replied in a low voice, "It's just that in the past few days, if someone from the Qingsi Hall comes to ask for something back, what are you going to do?" "You should have thought it out when you sent it, but now that it's in my hands, they have to come out with a result before they want it back." "No matter how damaged it is, it doesn't give me time to think about it back, which doesn't meet the precedent of doing things in the palace."

The scar-faced man was silent for a moment, and continued: "You have also heard about the situation over there, their situation is not good, the palace maid sent this box, it was the meaning of that Su Guijun, the things they sent, and a few more were brought a few days earlier, and now they are all left here with me." "He cherishes this book, and he won't offend me casually, doesn't he expect me to fix it and give him a glimpse of it?" "You make a lot of sense." "I've also thought about it, and it would be good if this book could stay here safely in a short period of time." "The biggest problem is, even if I can enter Penglai Pavilion and see the National Teacher, is he willing to make a move?" "What reason should I use to convince him to help you, or will I hide it from the empress for you?" "I know him as well, but not in the way you understand it." The scarface man seems to be having a hard time finding adjectives to accurately describe the relationship with someone. ”

"That's none of my business, you just have to sue me. Even if I can go in and see him, I will be given the book, and I will say anything to make him willing to do it. ”

"You just have to say two words to him."

The scar-faced man frowned and said, "Old picture." ”

"Drunkard?" I was stunned.

"Old and new, old and new, map of maps."

I touched my ears to make sure I heard correctly. It's obviously a book, but it's connected to the map again, the old map. Which old picture?

My doubts are getting deeper and deeper, but I have already agreed on the terms of my conversation with him before dinner, and I may not be able to get more information about this matter and about this so-called "old picture" from him!

He agreed to my terms. It was after the delivery of this trip. When I'm done with my business, help me get out of the way, and don't give anyone a chance to find me.

Recently, I have thought too much about it, and made a decision that violates the previous agreement, and I have thought that the people of the Martyrdom Jade Pavilion, especially the one in front of me, have too many different ways to hide than ordinary people.

I'm going to hide. He's the one who can help me the most.

Scarface didn't ask me about what I was going to do, he just knew that I needed to find something in the palace. He asked me if I needed help getting into the treasury, and I refused, because it had nothing to do with what I was looking for. "Okay, I understand, there are a few things in front of me that I want you to do for me."

"I want to ask you first, if the National Teacher sees this treasure, how long will it take for him?"

"You're asking him to fix it?"

"Well, what else is there besides this?"

"I'm not sure either, but I don't think it will take more than two days."

"That means that the three days I have to prepare are more than enough?"

"Yes, indeed."

"That's good." I got an affirmative answer before I could continue to explain what he was going to do.

"First, how do you plan to hide my whereabouts for the past two days?"

"This is the simplest, I just need to say that there is a treasure that needs to be repaired with me, and it is impossible to do without someone."

"Don't forget my duty when I arrived in the courtyard."

"I remember, cook for me."

"What about the bunch out there?"

The scar-faced man said with a hint of anger: "They are rubbing food, and they still care about their life and death?" ”

"How can you say that, they are all a little familiar, and they are not bad."

"I can cook, do more, okay?" "Yes." "The second thing, I'm going to Penglai Pavilion, but this is the appearance of my primary election in the palace, and many people have seen me, including the female officials in the palace." "As soon as I walk in the palace, won't many people be able to recognize me, how can I enter Penglai Pavilion smoothly?" "Aren't you just going to restore your original appearance?" "You are stupid, where did Penglai Pavilion come from someone who looks so similar to me, I plan to pick a palace maid there to disguise herself into her, preferably the insignificant kind, but the national teacher will have a chance to meet again." "Can you find someone like that, I'm not familiar with that." "Yes." He replied extremely briskly, "You are doing me a favor, I won't have to do everything yourself, I have already planned." "When the other party gets along with those sisters of Penglai Pavilion, he won't show flaws, right?" "She hasn't been in the palace for a long time, and she doesn't know many people, so not too many people will know about her, so it's very suitable for you to take on your identity for the time being."

I thought of one thing and asked, "I don't want to hurt the innocent, although you and I have important things to complete in this Sealand palace, you have to ensure the safety of that palace maid, can you do it?" ”

"She's safe, no one is safe as her, you can rest assured."

This sound a little weird, and I said uneasily: "You mean that after the national teacher knows about the old map, he will take the initiative to help?" "That's pretty much it."

I looked at him suspiciously, looked at his calm expression, stared at it for a while, and then I whispered: "These are these two things, Xiaosi, you have to tell him well, in this courtyard, others are the best, you just say that I am busy studying arts, and female officials must be assessed." ”

"No problem." (To be continued......)
