Ah Rong looked at me, his lips moved, and then he shook his head and said, "Hey, Xiaolin, you don't know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I've been waiting and waiting since I got there, and the people who said they were going to come for questions didn't come."

Ah Rong spoke with a depressed look.

Looking at his expression, I could understand the helplessness of him staying in the room and waiting.

"I had to listen to the attendant, so I stayed in the room and ate some snacks on the table first."

I looked down and thought about it, looked at him and asked, "What happened later?" You've been waiting? ”

"Later, then I fell asleep and slept until almost dawn......"

Ah Rong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Xiaolin, if it weren't for the charcoal brazier in the house that went out and it was too cold, I might still be sleeping in that room!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh.

It really does look like something he would do.

I retracted my smile, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did the person who led the way see you before you left the house in the morning?" ”

Obviously, it was the attendant who left with Ah Rong, and I heard it very clearly when I left last night.

They will not be so bold as to falsely convey the meaning of female officials.

Ah Rong replied to me: "When I saw him, he told me that the female officer was very busy last night, and she was too busy to ask questions." ”

"Is that so?"

My heart moved, and then I looked down and thought about it, most of my thoughts were related to what was happening in the house.

When I came back in the morning, I hid behind a big tree, and I could hear the conversation between the two palace maids very clearly.

Last night, there was a temporary transfer of an attendant in the courtyard of the house, and it seemed that he was the one who brought us to the courtyard.

I still remember his behavior at that time, and when I think about it, I can remember his disdain.

However, people who are usually unable to restrain their emotions even in front of strangers are prone to cause trouble even in front of others.

Neither I, nor Ah Rong, nor Master Wan, nor Master Wan had a chance to talk about it, but the attendant was still transferred, which meant that he had attracted the attention of others early in the mansion.

I thought about it for a while, glanced at Ah Rong and said, "What did the attendant tell you when he was leaving?" Wing? ”

"I said that I had to come to the courtyard to do things today."

Ah Rong said in a sincere tone: "Xiaolin, don't we have to follow Master Wan to repair the whole car?" ”

"He urged me to come back and showed me the way."

I looked at him in surprise and asked, "So...... You're back? ”

"You didn't ask Master Wan about it, why hasn't he come back until now?"

Ah Rong looked at me and replied, "Xiaolin, I didn't expect it at that time, I thought it was ...... Master Wan, he has already returned to the courtyard! ”

He was also right, the person who was temporarily taken away last night really didn't know if Master Wan was spending the night in the courtyard.

I asked some more details that came to my mind, and it sounded like Ah Rong and I had not had a chance to know where Master Wan was staying, or why he had delayed his return.

But I thought about it, even the attendants in the small courtyard who led the way for Ah Rong told him the right things to do today.

So...... Master Wan shouldn't be delayed for too long.

I think he's probably going to be back soon!

...... When the conversation was over, I walked over to the fire, looked at the heat and began to boil the soup carefully.

I put the medicinal materials one by one, I don't dare to be careless, and whenever it comes to things related to medicinal materials, I am extraordinarily focused on doing them.

Even if I was a little irritable with my emotions before, as long as I stayed by the stove and looked at the decoction, I would calm down.

Ah Rong beside me also quieted down, and he watched my every movement seriously.

Seeing that I gently put the last medicinal herb in the paper bag, Ah Rong leaned over and said, "Xiaolin, you are very skilled in this work!" ”

"When I was in Nanhua Town...... You've been learning from your dad for a long time, haven't you? ”

How do you want me to answer this sentence?

The problem is, I'm not the little Lin he knows!

I turned my mind around, then stopped moving, looked sideways at Ah Rong and said, "Actually, I haven't been using it for a long time. ”

After a pause, I continued: "But this thing is about talent, and you also know that studying medicine is a difficult thing to do. ”

I looked at him and said, "I don't have much ability, but I'm a bit talented in this area. ”

"So it's a quick learner, and it's better than the usual way of studying medicine."

Ah Rong looked at me and grinned: "Xiaolin, you are modest, can you learn seriously with Doctor Wu?" ”

"In the past, people in the town said that Dr. Wu was the best doctor in Nanhua!"

"I've heard a lot."

I didn't deny that, I looked at him and smiled, "Indeed, I've heard some things about Dr. Wu everywhere in town. ”

Putting aside those outside discussions, just looking at Dr. Wu's technical ...... It can be seen in the codex he drawn.

I remember the first time I saw it, I was immediately drawn to the codex, and then I was intrigued.

At that time, I was desperate to find the fresh herbs he had mentioned, and to do tests to prove their efficacy.

In particular, the unique medicinal herbs of Nanhua Town and Beidi are the ones that can arouse people's interest the most.

If it weren't for the changes that took place later, and I was trapped in the mountains with the tsundere boy for a while, I'm afraid I would have found more medicinal herbs.

For example, yesterday, didn't I meet Yuan Xiu in the forest?

The herb she excavated coincided with the record in Dr. Wu's codex, which made me very happy.

I thought about the conversation with Yuan Xiu, and my mind turned and I thought of going somewhere else.

After a while, I looked at Ah Rong and asked, "When the attendant took you to walk in the mansion, did he mention to you that the backyard is a forbidden place here in the mansion?" ”

Ah Rong looked at me and nodded: "Xiaolin, I already knew this, and the person who sent me on the way here told me." ”

His words surprised me a little, and I couldn't help but stare at him for a few more moments.

"By the way, you came from the front-line camp, who sent you?"

I'm curious about that.

Because I knew that Ah Rong used to work under General Gu, I thought that the one who could send him to the mansion should also be General Gu...... That is, the people who work under Gu Qimei's eldest sister!

Ah Rong quickly replied to me, "Xiao Lin, he is a guard under General Gu. ”

It seems that I guessed correctly.

Ah Rong continued: "He talked to me a lot on the way here, and also mentioned the forbidden place in the backyard. ”

"What did he tell you?"

"He said that the National Teacher temporarily lives in the attic near the lake, and outsiders are not allowed to break in."

When Ah Rong said this, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Xiaolin, you must have heard some rumors, all of which are related to the National Teacher. ”

I hesitated, looked at him and asked, "What do you mean......?"

"Not counting in the army, there are a lot of rumors outside, the origin of the national teacher is a mystery, but it is said that the posture of heaven and man is ...... Your Majesty, she ......"

Ah Rong probably felt that these words were a bit too much, and he could accept them.

He looked at me and said with a hint of embarrassment in his tone: "Those are all rumors from outside, I whispered to you, you can't say it outside." ”

I looked at Ah Rong and smiled: "You didn't say anything, the rumors of this kind of thing are not reliable at all, maybe they are all false." ”

"No, it's not, it's still very true outside," Ah Rong looked at me and shook his head, "Let's just say that the backyard is forbidden, only His Majesty can come and go freely!" ”

I turned my eyes away and looked out the window, and after a moment did I answer: "You may not be able to see the national teacher if you come and go freely." ”

I said in a light tone: "I heard that when the national teacher was in the palace, he easily disappeared. ”

"If you don't see it, it should be idle people, etc., if you want to say that it is our majesty, the national teacher will definitely want to see it!"

Ah Rong looked at me and said in a smooth and authentic tone.

"yes, even you think so, so there must be a lot of rumors ......"

I lowered my head and muttered to myself.

"Xiaolin, this medicinal soup needs to be watched, right?!"

Coldly, Ah Rong reminded me loudly, and I suddenly retracted my thoughts, that topic was so touching that I almost became careless!

...... I hurried close to the stove to check the soup boiling in the pot, blaming myself, why should I be distracted?!

"Won't you eat some?" Ah Rong raised a piece of snack in his hand to me.

I retracted my gaze and looked at him and smiled: "The taste of dim sum is really average, I have eaten delicious dim sum, you know, a time-honored store in Nanhua Town is good." ”

"That shop is in the north of the town, I think it's better than this."

Fortunately, I have been to Nanhua Town, and I am still familiar with the streets and shops over there, after all, I have stayed.

When Ah Rong heard this, he suddenly showed a nostalgic look and said, "Yes, Xiaolin, you are right, no matter how delicious the things outside are, I also think about the delicious things in my hometown." ”

"If you can't compare, it's not the same taste, even if it's the same kind of dim sum."

I could hear the melancholy in his words, and silently looked away.

"Xiaolin, I'll go to the warehouse to tidy up again, wait for Master Wan to come back, let's listen to how he arranges to start work again, and you can continue to guard the decoction here."

After Ah Rong finished speaking, I immediately nodded and said, "Okay, I won't go away here, I have to watch this soup." ”

"Ah Rong, you do what you have to do, and Master Wan will be back in a while."

I glanced into the courtyard and said, "It's dawn, so I can't help but start work." ”

...... Yuan Xiu was in the kitchen of the small courtyard, looking at the fire in a daze.

Vegetable porridge was boiling on the stove and steamed steamed buns, Yuan Xiu was a little absent-minded.

The gardener stayed in the conservatory for a while, finished his chores over there, and went to the kitchen window to look at the little granddaughter, and frowned.

Later, he pushed the door open and entered.

Yuan Xiu was immersed in his own thoughts, and suddenly heard footsteps and was startled.

She saw the gardener who came in, and hurriedly shouted, "Grandpa, why are you here?" ”

The gardener walked up to Yuan Xiu, looked at her and said, "You go to the warehouse in a while and sort things out." ”

"Okay, I'll go after cooking the porridge in a while."

"Don't worry, I'll go after breakfast."

...... The two sat at the small table, Yuan Xiu lowered her head and drank porridge, and the gardener still held a steamed bun in her hand, and raised her head several times to look at her, still looking absent-minded.

"Ah Xiu, how old is the new craftsman in the small courtyard you are talking about? Is it about your age? ”

Yuan Xiu raised his head to look at the gardener, and was slightly stunned: "Yes, but I didn't ask him how old he is, grandpa, he looks about the same age as me." ”

"Didn't several of them come to the courtyard, and you've only seen him?"

The gardener paused and asked again.

Yuan Xiu put down the porridge bowl in his hand, looked at him and continued: "When I went to the woods, the first time I met him, he heard movement outside and came out to check. ”

"At that time he said that all the craftsmen who lived with him seemed to have gone out, and no one else was there."

Yuan Xiu tilted his head and thought for a while, looked at the gardener and said, "When I went in the morning, he was also alone. ”

"The war in the Northland is so urgent, the carriage doesn't need to be repaired quickly? How could it be so idle. ”

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in the florist's tone, which fell on Yuan Xiu's ears, which was too obvious.

She muttered in her heart, grandpa heard that Xiao Lin was not lying, why did he still have the same attitude?

I really don't know what hinders Xiao Lin's eyes, but he looks like a very good person!

Yuan Xiu thought in her heart and didn't say it, she felt that she had said enough in the morning, and if her grandfather didn't listen to it again, it would be useless for her to say more.

Maybe after listening to it too much, grandpa is even more disgusted with Xiaolin!

She sighed and said to the gardener: "Grandpa, I'm full, you eat slowly, put the dishes and chopsticks, and I'll tidy up the warehouse and come over to wash it later." ”

Yuan Xiu went out and walked towards the side house in the small courtyard, the warehouse was set up in the corner, and there were some sundries piled up in it.

...... I looked at the fire and thought about what had happened yesterday.

I don't know how the squire was sent to do miscellaneous work, but I think his character is ...... Debatable.

What's more, when we first arrived at the house, we were polite to him, we were just craftsmen who came here to do things, and he could be so mean, and his attitude can be seen.

I guess he is in the house, most of them offended people!

Today, the female officer should come to the small courtyard to inspect and see our progress here, at the moment, Master Wan has not returned, I don't know if the female officer arrives first, how will I and Ah Rong respond?

The only thing I can rest assured about is that Gu Qimei is no longer in the house at this time.

The palace maid said very clearly, last night she went to the front-line camp in the north overnight to find General Gu.

At this time, there should be no female officer in the house who is more familiar with me than her, and even if ordinary people have seen me, they have no impression.

There was a big difference between when I was in the Sealand Palace and what I look like now.

The soup on the stove was almost ready, and I carefully removed the small pot from the fire.

Hearing Ah Rong shouting to me outside, I walked out of the house, closed the door by the way, and then arrived in the storeroom where he was.
