In the afternoon, Zhihua first went to the Golden Building. Many of the jewels left behind by my mother were a little old. These jewelry, all of which were worn by her mother before her death, even if the style is outdated, Zhihua is not willing to dissolve and rebuild, only to take it to the Golden Building to polish it and polish the gold.

Coming out of the Golden Building, Zhihua instructed the coachman to go to Dingbei Street. She had an idea in her mind that she was going to check out the shop that was about to expire before making a decision. After a while, the coachman stopped the carriage in front of the shop designated by the eldest lady. Zhihua didn't get out of the car, only lifted the curtain of the small window in the carriage and looked out. I saw that this shop is very spacious, divided into two floors, and is currently operating a cloth village. According to the size written on the title deed, there should also be a backyard. Zhihua knew it, and didn't look at the backyard, so she asked the coachman to turn around and go home.

On the way back, the carriage stopped suddenly halfway through. I only heard a noise around me, and someone shouted in horror: "It's out of the water!" There were a lot of people, and Zhihua couldn't lift the curtains to check outside, so she asked the coachman: "What's going on outside?" The coachman's voice was also a little flustered, "Miss Hui, there is a shop in front of you that has gone out of the water, and the fire is very big, and now the people around you are fleeing from the front door." ”

"Can I make a U-turn now?" Since the road ahead was blocked, Zhihua decided to take a detour.

"No, Miss, there are people all around, and the carriage is now difficult to move an inch." The coachman denied the suggestion. Zhihua immediately made a decision and instructed Bai Lan beside her: "Bai Lan, let's get out of the car and find a teahouse to avoid first." "The carriage that came out this time is just a common use in the Lu Mansion, and it is not a pity to throw it away. The attentive Bai Lan carefully inspected the carriage and made sure that there were no items left inside, and then helped the young lady out of the carriage. After the two got out of the car, they found that what the driver said was not an exaggeration, and they were surrounded by people fleeing from the front, all of them panicked. "You go with us, and leave this carriage here, and when the riot subsides, if you can't find it, hire a new one." The coachman opened the road in front, Bai Lan closely guarded Zhihua, and the three of them followed the flow of people and finally walked to the door of a teahouse.

At this time, a person who had long been forgotten by Zhihua was waiting in the window-facing private room on the second floor of this teahouse, and the figures of Zhihua's master and servant had been fully seen by this person.

How did she end up here? Shen Ze looked at the girl wearing a light blue plain waist-length skirt downstairs in the teahouse, and wondered in his heart. Maybe it was because she had been kind to herself, even if it was the first time she saw her in women's clothes, Shen Ze still recognized it at a glance. To see or not to see? Shen Ze suddenly felt a little entangled in his heart. This time, Shen Ze secretly sneaked back to the capital to do business, although now the matter has been almost done, just waiting for his subordinates to come back to resume his life, but now is really not the time to see outsiders. But Shen Ze didn't know why, there was always a faint longing in his heart, longing to see the girl who smiled playfully at him again, and when this girl appeared in front of him, this longing climbed to an unprecedented extreme, almost breaking through the self-control he had always been proud of.

After negotiating in front of the counter, the coachman stayed in the hall on the first floor of the teahouse and waited, Zhihua was accompanied by Bai Lan, and followed Xiao Er to the private room on the second floor. Shen Ze's ear power is very good, and he can even hear the sound of the door opening next door clearly. After listening to the introduction of the shopkeeper, the voice in his memory sounded: "Then come to the pot Tieguanyin." refreshment

An unfamiliar female voice appeared next door, "Miss, this teahouse is not bad, look at the layout of this private room, it is very elegant." "You said it was a private room, how can you be called so if it is not elegant." Zhihua chuckled a little playfully. Bai Lan pouted in protest: "Miss, you are making fun of the slave again!" "In private, only when the two of them are alone, Bai Lan, who has always been steady, will show a little bit of her little daughter's delicateness." Well, it's me who is not right. After a while, Xiao Er will bring up the tea, and I will punish myself for three cups to compensate you, okay? Listening to the laughter of the master and servant next door, Shen Ze couldn't help but smile on his face. Realizing that he was laughing, Shen Ze thought to himself, it turned out that he still remembered how to laugh, and thought that he had forgotten about it.

The person Shen Ze had been waiting for for a long time finally appeared, and two brief knocks at the door interrupted his thoughts. "Come in." Afraid that the next door would hear it, Shen Ze commanded in a low voice. The person who knocked on the door seemed to be also a practitioner, Shen Ze's voice was deliberately lowered, and the person outside the door could still hear it clearly, and gently pushed the door open. Although it is not clear why the prince lowered his voice, this person was extremely clever, and stepped forward and whispered in the ear of the prince: "Qi the prince, the person has been rescued, in order to break the queen, the subordinates took the initiative to burn their shop, please punish the prince." "I don't blame you for being in a hurry. How is he now? Are there any casualties among our people? "Dark Seven and Dark Eight have already taken him to Zhuangzi outside the city, and our people have retreated, and no one is injured." After thinking for a moment, Shen Ze said categorically: "No, it can't be sent to our Zhuangzi." The one in the house is not a fuel-efficient lamp, as soon as this person is rescued, she will definitely guess that it is us, and Zhuangzi outside the city is the first place she wants to send someone to investigate! You hurry up and recover Dark Seven, Dark Eight, and wait for my news in the City God Temple outside the city for the time being, and you must pay attention to hiding your whereabouts. "Secretly promised and took the order.

finally had a reason to see her again, and Shen Ze was overjoyed by this absurd reason in his heart. At this time, he couldn't figure out why he was abnormal when he encountered something related to Miss Lu's family. There was no time for him to think about it carefully, because the maid suddenly came from next door: "Miss, go down and check it out, this will be done, and those people should run out." ”

Hearing the sound of the maid going downstairs, Shen Ze quickly walked to the door next door and knocked on the door gently.

"What? But what have you forgotten? Open the door yourself and come in. Zhihua was half-lying on the windowsill without any image, looking at the crowd downstairs through the window with only a small slit.

As soon as Shen Ze pushed open the door, he saw this scene, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and reminded the girl that it was not the person she thought she was coming in. Hearing the man's voice at the door, Zhihua was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She suddenly looked back at the door, and when she saw that it was Shen Ze, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at him with disgust: "Why are you?" It almost scared the hell out of me! With that, he patted his chest to soothe his poor heart, which had not yet recovered from the fright. But then I remembered that this action didn't seem to be supposed to appear on a lady, and the half-slapped hand stopped stiffly and hung down to the side, which was extremely embarrassing.

Shen Ze was immersed in her coquettish stare just now, and only felt that the expression on her face was really indescribably good-looking. One was embarrassed, the other was drunk, and after a short silence, Shen Ze was the first to come back to his senses and took the initiative to speak: "I have something I want to ask you for help." So saying, he bolted the door and went to the table and sat down. Zhihua was also freed from the embarrassment, and cleared her throat uncomfortably, "Say it." ”

"You are outside the city, can you have Zhuangzi?" Shen Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhihua.

"How many, what, you're going to live?" Zhihua asked half-jokingly.

Shen Ze nodded: "I only plan to borrow it for one night, and I should leave Beijing tomorrow." But there is a person, I want to place it on your Zhuangzi, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"It's convenient, it's just ......" Zhihua looked embarrassed.

"Just what? But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, I'll think of another way. Shen Ze was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to retreat.

"It's just that the favor you owed me last time hasn't been paid off, the old debt has not been paid, and a new debt has been added, how can this be a good ......" Zhihua shook her head and sighed strangely. In fact, even she didn't realize that Lu Yan, Bai Lan, Han's mother, Minyi, these people who were often teased by her were all people close to her heart, and now there is another Shen Ze.

Shen Ze didn't expect her to be so narrow, and after a "poof" smile, he took the initiative to cooperate: "It's really sad!" He also asked the creditor to give more grace, and Xiaosheng was willing to pay additional interest. As he spoke, he made a compilation with both hands, begging for mercy.

"Since Childe is so upright, it's easy to say, it's easy to say......" Zhihua nodded, with a look that was very useful for his low profile. In the joking, she didn't forget to get down to business: "I'll write a letter by hand, and after you find a place with this letter, give it to a steward named Jiang Zhong, and he will arrange the rest." "The most people who go in and out of the teahouse are those literati and elegant guests who like to chant the wind and the moon, so the private rooms of the teahouse are equipped with the four treasures of the study room for the guests to use.

While he was writing hard, there was a knock at the door: "Miss, the coachman has hired a new carriage and can go home." For some reason, Zhihua was a little weak at this time, and replied: "You go to the carriage and wait for me first, I'll come after drinking this cup of tea." ”

Shen Ze didn't want anyone else to see him, Zhihua's move was quite in line with his heart, and the two looked at each other and smiled, as if two children who stole candy had escaped the search of adults, with the joy of the rest of their lives.
