Chapter 402: Wait
The two of us stood by the stove and talked, the door of the warehouse opened, and Master Wan came out of it!
He walked up to me and said, "Xiaolin, I'm going to talk to Lady Liu about the door now." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
I glanced at Ah Rong, then looked at Master Wan together, and listened to him add: "Xiaolin, you don't have to follow. ”
"You stay in the courtyard with Ah Rong and wait for me to come back."
His tone sounded calm, and he wasn't as entangled as he had been last night.
I think he thought about it for a long time.
Ah Rong said in a loud voice: "Master Wan, it's not dawn, and Lady Liu may not have gotten up, so she is not in such a hurry." ”
Master Wan shook his head and said, "No, the war in the north is approaching these days, and I heard that the lights in the imperial study are not extinguished all night." ”
"The hot soup in the pot is all good, and the taste of Kobayashi's cooking must be the same."
Ah Rong pointed to the stove and said, "Master Wan, it's not too late for you to drink a bowl and leave!" ”
Master Wan glanced in the direction pointed by Ah Rong, and after thinking about it, he looked away and said with some hesitation: "It's better to finish things first!" ”
Under the gaze of Ah Rong and me, Master Wan left the courtyard in a hurry, and he still walked quickly.
Ah Rong walked to the stove alone, lowered his head and made himself a bowl of hot soup.
The guy took a bite to his lips and looked at me with a smile on his face.
I looked at him and was speechless.
After a while, Ah Rong's guy stared at me with a bowl for a while, and then said, "Xiaolin, I've only heard Doctor Wu say it once before, your sister ...... She seems to have liked to tinker with food since she was a child. ”
"I didn't think you were too."
I glanced at him and responded, "Where, the materials are limited, and there are few things that can be made delicious." ”
I looked down and thought back to what I saw yesterday in the big kitchen.
After thinking about it, I couldn't help but say to Ah Rong: "There are a lot of good things in the big kitchen, I saw them when I went there yesterday, but unfortunately we didn't have a share." ”
"I don't need it either."
Ah Rong looked at me with a smile and said, "Xiaolin, I don't know much, but in my opinion...... Depending on your craft, it's okay not to be a doctor and a cook. ”
I looked at him and answered, "Hmm...... You have said that you have little knowledge, and you don't count what you say! ”
"Xiaolin, you're hurting me again."
"What's the matter, I'm just repeating what you said, repeating!"
Ah Rong stared at me, and then laughed: "Xiaolin, seriously, if you go back to Nanhua Town in the future and decide to open a small restaurant or something, I will definitely come over to eat at that time." ”
"As long as we can get back safely from the Northlands."
I looked at him, feeling much better because of what had happened last night, and now my tone was relaxed.
"Well, if you have a chance!"
"Xiaolin, if I hadn't lived in the courtyard with you, I really felt like something good had happened to you!"
After a while, Ah Rong stopped drinking the soup and looked at me and asked with a bit of suspicion in his tone.
"Okay, you just drink the soup well, drink two more bowls, it's not as good as you say!"
I looked away and gestured.
That's right, in fact, since last night, some things have really changed, and even the mood has changed, and he is actually right.
But I don't want to admit it, I just don't want to!
I looked at him, the corners of my mouth raised, but my tone was as flat as I could.
"You're still busy eating, I think I have to prepare, Master Wan will probably be able to get things done!"
Ah Rong asked me tentatively: "Xiaolin...... Yuan Xiu ......"
"Don't think about it, the whole thing has nothing to do with Yuan Xiu."
I categorically deny it.
I really don't want him to involve irrelevant people again.
To me, Yuan Xiu is just an ordinary friend I made in the house.
"Ah Rong, if Master Wan comes back, you remember to call me in time, I have to look at the medicinal soup boiled on the small stove, and wait for him to come back and take it again."
The remaining poison is almost clear, and we brought it from the town's pharmacy...... There was not much left of the medicinal herbs that were brought into the house.
When the medicinal soup is boiled well this time, Master Wan will definitely not have to worry about the hidden danger of residual poison.
"Okay!"
Ah Rong withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the stove.
I glanced back at him as I walked into the side room.
Seeing Ah Rong concentrating on the soup in the pot, I said...... Very reassuring.
In fact, if Master Wan comes back, I can hear his footsteps in the house.
Before I came back from the hospital, the reason why I took care of Ah Rong was only to dispel his doubts and hide my emotions.
...... All the way through the woods in the courtyard of the house, then turn onto the trail and cross the shortcut.
Master Wan is more familiar with the routes in the house than ordinary people.
When he walked through the courtyard, he would occasionally see palace maids and attendants passing by on the road.
Until he came to a secluded forest, a man who suddenly crossed the road almost collided with him.
The man seemed to be thinking about things very quickly, but when Master Wan and he stepped aside, they could clearly see the man's expression.
Because it's closer, the impact is greater.
Master Wan couldn't help but be startled when he looked at him, it was rare to see someone with such a gloomy face, and it was also the person next to Lady Liu.
Most of the attendants in the courtyard are expressionless when they come and go, and they will show a habitual smile when they see those above.
The squire gave the impression that it was as good as ever, and when he stood still to see Master Wan, his eyes flashed with disdain.
That kind of look, Master Wan rarely even sees it on a female officer, and the impression is a rare look.
Afterwards, the attendant did not say a word...... Hurriedly left.
Master Wan looked at the man's back and saw the direction in which the man was going...... It seems to have gone outside the house.
Or...... I went to the side door in the direction of the remote craftsman's yard or flower garden in the corner.
If you want to say that if you came to find a craftsman, it was the instructions of Lady Liu...... That person will not see himself as nothing.
Master Wan changed his mind in his heart, and then continued to walk towards the courtyard where Lady Liu lived.
When I passed the rockery on the way, I saw two palace maids in the house standing there talking again.
One of them looked at the other companion and paused, "I heard that someone went out this morning, so let's just be on our turn when we can do it." ”
Regret inevitably appeared in his tone.
The companion shook his head at him and said, "Don't think about it for a while. ”
She changed her tone and looked at the people around her: "But Your Majesty will go to the front-line camp soon, maybe he will bring some people from the courtyard...... When the time comes, we will be able to pass together. ”
"It's a battlefield, not a place to play."
"By the way, I heard that the National Teacher also went with him? We probably won't be chosen. ”
After a slight pause, the palace maid continued: "It's the rest of the attendants in the courtyard, they should still have a chance!" ”
The palace maid looked at her companion and lowered her voice and said, "This matter is a bit ......"
As he spoke, Master Wan's footsteps approached, and the two palace maids who were talking were suddenly startled.
It was still early, and most of them didn't expect someone to suddenly pass by in such a secluded place.
Therefore, the moment Master Wan appeared, their reaction was similar to that of the attendant next to Master Wan who rushed out in the middle of the road before.
When they saw Master Wan's appearance clearly, they were also relieved.
Then the two of them nodded to Master Wan, and the two exchanged glances with each other and walked away.
Master Wan looked back at the two palace maids who were going in different directions.
He felt something...... There was something strange about the atmosphere in the courtyard this morning.
Master Wan suppressed a trace of doubt in his heart, and the conversation between the two palace maids who didn't listen to all the things just now seemed to be related to the National Teacher.
Thinking that he would have to go and ask the female officer for a while, on the surface, it seemed that he was just taking Xiaolin out to run errands.
In fact, this matter also implicates the National Teacher.
Master Wan knew it, but the other people in the house didn't know.
The National Teacher invisibly promoted the occurrence of some things in the house.
He was in the lakeside loft in the backyard...... Approximately is not clear at all.
Master Wan stood on the side of the rockery, thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh quietly, and then walked forward.
...... Master Wan saw her walking slowly on the path outside the courtyard where Lady Liu lived.
When he got closer, Master Wan raised his eyes to see the other party's complexion clearly.
Female Officer Liu looked like she had stayed up for half a night.
Not to mention that the complexion of the whole face is not good, and the fundus of the eyes is even more bloodshot.
"My lord, there is something I want to tell you......
Lady Liu glanced at him and gestured for him to follow.
Master Wan followed behind her and walked into the courtyard in turn.
After Lady Liu entered, she didn't rush to ask, her eyes swept around, and another attendant stepped forward.
The man was standing next to them, and Lady Liu frowned and looked at him, without saying a word.
The man was also very knowledgeable, and immediately responded to her after a few seconds: "He walked away...... My lord, I heard that he went to the door to spread the word. ”
Female Officer Liu nodded and looked at Master Wan.
The latter was still pondering the man he had just mentioned...... Is it the arrogant-looking squire who has met several times in a row?
At first glance, when he met Lady Liu's gaze, Master Wan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and Master Wan said very calmly: "My lord, I still have to go out today, we took inventory last night, and there were a few things missing." ”
"I'd like to go out with the apprentice in the yard today, so he can help me get my things."
Female Officer Liu was a little absent-minded, and after listening to the words and thinking about it, she said to Master Wan: "Okay, go early and return early." ”
She pointed to another attendant standing on the side and asked Master Wan, "Let him follow you, is it enough for three people?" ”
"Enough, not very heavy stuff, easy to take."
Master Wan replied in a calm tone.
In fact, he understood what Lady Liu meant.
It is definitely not possible for them to go out alone, and it is already the least that they can send one person with them, and there is no room for bargaining.
Master Wan is worried that if he talks too much, he may ...... Kobayashi's chance to go out is gone.
...... Master Wan stood quietly and listened to a few words of instruction one after another.
Hearing this, Lady Liu was always a little absent-minded, and she didn't know why things were bothering.
When I saw her before...... Master Wan has already noticed it.
At this moment, he was about to turn around, when he heard Lady Liu stop him again.
He chuckled in his heart, and was worried about the twists and turns, when he suddenly heard Lady Liu say: "Since you have left an apprentice in the courtyard, arrange something for him to do." ”
"Don't let him be idle."
It turned out that it was just the people in the small courtyard who were idle.
Master Wan's mind turned and he quickly answered, and respectfully withdrew from the hospital.
...... The attendant who followed behind him looked more amiable, and when they reached a place where Lady Liu's sight could not be seen, the two stopped and said a few words.
The man looked at Master Wan and smiled, "I'm not familiar with Beidi Town, so you have to help lead the way." ”
Master Wan said in his heart that this person looked much better than the previous one, so he also replied politely: "Actually, I don't know each other well, so I can't talk about showing you the way." ”
"Have you been out of the house since you arrived?"
"Yes, I went out, someone led me to the town, we need all kinds of tools to repair the carriage, I looked at the warehouse in the small courtyard at the time, and there was a shortage of this and that, so I had to mention it to Lord Liu."
The attendant looked at Master Wan and said very understandingly: "Understood, this is the matter...... You can't do it without tools. ”
"You said you had to bring someone with you, who came with you from the camp?"
Master Wan and the attendant looked at each other, what he said just now made him a little surprised, after thinking about it, about many people in the house knew it, and there was nothing to hide.
Master Wan glanced around, and said to the gaze of the attendant: "Yes, you came with me, and you are still young." ”
The attendant seemed to be a little interested, approached Master Wan and asked, "You are a craftsman, so how was he chosen, since he is very young, he also understands this?" ”
Master Wan was a little vigilant in his heart, and he looked at the attendant and responded with a smile: "I don't know much about this matter, I was still in the camp in the mountains at that time, and the two of us were picked out by General Han." ”
"You know General Han, right? He used to be under General Gu Da, and he was very prestigious in the army. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of the squire's mouth, and he stared at Master Wan and said, "There is always something special about the people selected by General Han!" ”
He seems to be directing the topic in a certain direction, intentionally or unintentionally.
Master Wan didn't like it in his heart, and after being in the barracks for a long time, he still had some insight into people.
Master Wan pondered for a moment and said, "General Han is in charge of the vanguard camp, and the people he chooses must be no different." ”
"I'm not familiar with Xiaolin, but that kid is very diligent, I think it's good!"
The attendant looked at him again, then walked briskly forward.
Master Wan was stunned for a moment, looking at how that person was so familiar with the path in the house?
(ps: I know you are in a hurry, don't worry, you must come:)
