I listened intently to the outside, but there was no movement.

At this time, the maids who wanted to come to the Shao family's compound were very busy, and no one had time to disturb us.

"Yun Chu," I glanced at him and said, "Since you have been told that it is hard work, can you tell my wife of the Shao family what to do with you?" "Listening to Shao Si, coupled with the descriptions of her by the previous people, I don't have a good impression of her." "Did she specifically tell you what to do?" "Commanding?" Yun Chu tilted his head sideways and stared at me.

The corners of his mouth twitched, he moved slightly, and then frowned, "Who can tell me to do things, unless it's what I wanted in the first place." "Did she ask you about Shao Si's schoolwork?"

I crossed my hands on the edge of the couch and propped my head in question. "No, I came in for a few days, she originally thought that this current teacher would definitely be angry in a few days, but she didn't expect" "What didn't you expect?" "I asked." I didn't expect me to stay that long. The corners of Yun Chu's mouth raised slightly. Look for me, meet me, curiosity. “

I looked at Yun Chu in disbelief, looked away and said, "What you said is very simple, but I have a gut feeling that you always have something to hide from me." ”

Yun Chu's hand between his chest and abdomen pressed hard, and after a while, he said a little lazily: "Xiao Ling'er, I want to sleep for a while." "Well," I nodded, "well, I'll talk to you again when you're rested, but only when there's no outsider in the yard." “

I brought a quilt from the bed. Covered it on Yun Chu's body: "It's cool in autumn, you can't just lie down like this, you'll get sick, it's easy to save a few days, don't toss and get sick again." “

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Obviously, I can't sleep because of your noise, but now it seems that I can't get over it by myself." ”

"Shhhh I tucked the corners of the quilt for Yun Chu.

Get out of the room door. I looked back at Yun Chu, whose eyes were pale and closed, and sighed in my heart, if you want to hide it from me, how long can you hide it?

Sitting under the trellises in the courtyard, I took out the small porcelain vases I was carrying, two in total. It's almost day and night.

One of them is a special medicine given by my senior brother Lan Tian to cure Yun Chu's symptoms, and the other one. It's the treasure that I risked my life and hung up the color.,Picked down from the cliff in the mountain.。

A few sparkling red fruits lay in the palm of my hand.

I stared at it with emotion, and secretly said in my heart, it is rumored that this is a pain-relieving elixir, and I don't know if what is recorded in the book is appropriate.

If I could, I wouldn't want to give Yun Chu such a medicine in my life, but the gradually worsening symptoms, Yun Chu's pulse reminded me that it was just my good wish.

In the gateway city in the southwest, I have almost searched through the medical books in the study of the city lord's mansion.

Plus all the medical books collected by my senior brother in Xiyuan that I have read. Two of them mention another elixir for pain in a very inconspicuous corner.

Habit dictates. Every time I see a record of this kind of medicinal herb, my eyes will zoom in and out.

When I saw the place where the herb was recorded, I was speechless, and I was stunned on the spot.

Sealand, royalty, exclusive!

It's easy to say that you were born in the mountains and cliffs. But in the royal family, this makes me very difficult, and I don't know if I can find an opportunity to explore the palace in Sealand after completing the things in the southwest.

It can only be put aside for the time being.

I frantically pulled off a flower leaf and tore it to shreds

The swing rack in the depths of the garden has not been visited for a long time, and the grass around it has grown higher than the shelf.

I sat there and looked down thinking about what had happened in the past few days, and soon someone broke the silence.

Among the flowers, I bent down so that the lush foliage would block the view of the two men on the other side.

How can the people of the Shao family pick such a place to deliver news, it will become a habit for me to observe!

Lilac grabbed the unknown maid in Mrs. Shao's room, the two looked at each other, and I heard her ask: "Sister, did you hear some of the news that came just now outside Madame's room?" ”

"Yes, there is." The maid of the Shao family nodded.

"It's the messenger from Yizhou City, saying that the Lord of Syracuse City left all the big families present to live in a big mansion in the city." The maid glanced at Lilac meaningfully, and said unhurriedly.

"Isn't that mansion going to be converted into a city lord's mansion?" Lilac's face showed a surprised expression, and she said repeatedly, "Could it be that you have changed your mind now?" “

"Yes, I kept saying that a few days ago, saying that in the southwest, Gateway City and Yizhou City are far away, and the Snow City Lord plans to stay on both sides in turn every month of the year."

"Isn't there no one from the City Lord's Guard in Yizhou City yet? There was a man surnamed Luo who led a team of men and horses to be stationed for a few months before leaving. ”

"That's because here in Yizhou, the Fang and Shao families are in charge, and they can't be chaotic."

"What is the city lord summoning them for this time?"

My heart sank, but my ears pricked up, and I waited for the maid to say what I wanted to know most.

She said after a while: "It is said that this earthquake in the southwest has damaged some places, and it needs the help of local big families to help repair it." ”

"Is this strange? Every year, the lord donates a lot of silver, how can he care about such a little? ”

"It's not a small problem." "The messenger said that this repair is not only to build roads and bridges, but also to rebuild the riverside dam adjacent to the southwest." "Not to mention the money, the time it will take to build this fortification alone is not a year or two."

Ding Xiang was taken aback and said: "Such a big thing, the Lord of Snow City also came to Yizhou City on purpose, I'm afraid that the Fang and Shao families will have to bear the big head." ”

"That's right, it's not very difficult to talk about, that's why it took so long, and the Snow City Lord is also patient, and he is not in a hurry to spend it with them at all."

Lilac hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, this is a good thing, for the people in the southwest. ”

"Sister, come here," the maid beckoned, pulled Lilac to her, and lowered her voice, "You know what I heard?" ”

"It is said that the master and the master of the Fang family have mentioned it, this is a big thing for the benefit of the people of the southwest and the benefit of future generations, and it is not enough for the two families to contribute money and other big families in the city."

"So what to do?"

"They want the Snow City Lord to raise the tax for the entire southwest region, but the Snow City Lord just insists on this point and disagrees."

"Is there still a time when the master and the Fang family have reached an agreement? It's really the sun hitting the west. Lilac squeezed a smile out of her face when she said this. You don't understand this, in business, both sides are from business backgrounds, why don't you plan to make a plate. "Don't look at the people who fight on weekdays, but when it comes to the critical moment, the two sides are surprisingly consistent."

It really didn't sound like a mere maid could say this, and even I, who was hiding in the grass and listening, couldn't help but show a look of approval, and couldn't help but glance at the maid of the Shao family.

I didn't know she and Lilac were sisters before, but now that I look at them, they are somewhat similar, except that Lilac is more beautiful. "Speaking of which, others don't know about this matter, don't you understand? Whose fault is it, it was all committed by the eldest young master," Lilac pouted. "I'm going to die! You dare to say this, don't die, go back quickly" "Sister, if there is any movement, you will come back to tell me the next day." "Lilac said goodbye to the maid.

I half-crouched on the swing frame and watched the two men move.

She thought that Lilac would leave after talking to her sister in this secluded back garden, but unexpectedly she found a stone bench and sat down.

I looked at her nervously, thinking that if I was discovered, I would have to pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Lilac sat there very calmly, and took out a handful of colored threads from her arms and knitted them, the girls in the southwest know more or less this kind of gadget, can not use tools, just by hand to weave purses, small bags and other things.

I was lying on the swing frame and my legs were almost numb, but fortunately, Mrs. Shao's maid didn't walk for long, and there was a sound of footsteps on the path, I looked at it, hey, isn't that the Shao Si I saw before?

What is he here for?

I looked at Shao Si from a distance and walked in front of Lilac, she quickly put down the work in her hand and said, "Fourth young master." "Well," the visitor smiled at Lilac, "you just met your sister?" “

Lilac told Shao Si the original conversation between her and the maid.

Before she finished speaking, Shao Si's face showed a joyful expression and said, "Great! Originally, Mr. Chu"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Lilac with a scrutinizing gaze with an expression that was a little elusive.

Shao Si was silent for a moment, and then said calmly on his face: "I know, you go down first." “

Lilac had a disappointed expression on her face, and she stood next to her for a short time before she left a little unwillingly.

I was in the grass, and I could see the details of the meeting between the two men.

What Shao Si didn't say, I just thought about it and understood.

In the topic that Yun Chu chatted with him before, the most critical point discussed between the two sides was time.

Until now, I still don't know exactly what the agreement between Shao Si and Yun Chu was going to do, but it was obvious that this matter would have to be done in the absence of his eldest brother and father.

I heard the conversation between Shao Si and Yun Chu in the courtyard before, and he was struggling, worried that it would be too late.

Now, from the news sent from Yizhou City, it has been concluded that Snow Eagle will keep the group of people gathered for a few days.

I suddenly realized that this coincidence was just buying them a few more days.

They are waiting, waiting for an opportunity
