- When Chen Jiu read the letter, Lin Shan was holding tongs to poke the ashes of the smoke deposited in the stove, and he didn't look at this side at all, and he really didn't seem to mind letting her read the letter that the woman wrote to him.

And when Chen Jiu finished reading the letter, her face was full of surprise.

"It turns out that ......" Chen Jiu couldn't help but murmur when he finished reading the last word on the spread out letter in his hand, "...... Ye'er's name is not a pseudonym? ”

Lin Shan turned his head when he heard this, but said lightly: "After you read this letter, do you have any other doubts?" ”

Chen Jiu pondered, since Lin Shan took the initiative to open the door to her to ask, she would definitely cherish and seize this opportunity, and after a while, she asked seriously: "Will Ye'er still be surnamed Wang in the future?" ”

It's a simple question, but it's a lot more complicated to answer.

Lin Shan said slowly: "If you follow Ye Erniang's choice, of course you will enter the Ye family tree, but in order to give the royal family some face, you can't directly surname Ye." ”

Chen Jiu stared and asked, "Then why did you leave her in Kyoto and completely cut off her thoughts of coming to you?" ”

"The Ye family no longer exists now, and she can't go back." Lin Shan paused slightly, "...... After thinking about it, it is better for her to return to the royal family, to stay by her biological father's side, and to be cared for by her brother, than to stay by me, who is just an outsider to her. Although her eldest sister Wang Qing and second brother Wang Hong in the palace were not born to the same mother as her, they were both kind-hearted and gentle-hearted, and they would not reject her. ”

"Your considerations are not wrong, the Ye family can't go back. Recognizing her father and returning to her sect was the best arrangement for her, but ......" Chen Jiu hesitated a little at this point...... You can't say you're just an outsider to her, and I can tell from the child's face how much you mean to her. Even now that I think about it, I feel a little scared, when the news of your fake death reaches Dongfeng Tower, the child seems to have become an empty shell, and he can't even cry. ”

"That's something I'm not doing properly. Didn't take into account that she was just a girl. Affordability is limited. Lin Shan sighed softly, and then said, "But in order for her to accept royal life, I must weaken my influence on her, and the situation I was in three years ago." If you're not careful, you might really go. It's better to let her be mentally prepared early. As for me, though I have passed this catastrophe. But she didn't have the energy to take care of her like she did more than a decade ago, and she grew up, anyway. My departure was a good thing for her. ”

Chen Jiu moved his lips, and he still had something to say in his heart but didn't say it.

After being silent for a long time, she couldn't help but ask again: "You will always meet again, have you ever thought about what to say to her?" ”

"Nope." Lin Shan shook his head slightly, "If she can forget me, maybe she can live happily." I can't stay with her all the time, and parting is inevitable. ”

"Sometimes I really wonder, do you really care, or don't you understand?" Chen Jiu was relatively calm on the outside when he spoke, but he actually felt a little sorry in his heart, "No one can always be by anyone's side, but despite this, there are still so many people who choose to be together, why can't you think the same way?" ”

Lin Shan looked at the old wine, as if he had something to say, but at this moment, the water in the iron pot on the stove boiled, and the hot steam lifted the lid on one side, and Lin Shan's attention was distracted. After a while, he just asked casually: "Are you going to fish for rice?" ”

Seeing this, Chen Jiu had already put down the letter, got up and walked to the stove, lifted the lid of the pot with one hand, and smashed it into the pot with a large iron spoon for rice in the other, and then she said helplessly: "It should be that the fire is too slow, although the water is only boiling, the rice under the water is cooked thoroughly, and I can only drink porridge tonight." ”

"There is nothing wrong with drinking a bowl of porridge at night, which is light and moisturizing." Lin Shan nodded, there was no objection, he was not a particularly picky person about diet.

But his next move really surprised Chen Jiu.

Lin Shan leaned sideways, pinched the letter that was resting on the box after reading the old wine just now, and without looking at it carefully, he threw it into the stove with a flick of his hand.

The fire in the hearth engulfed the thin letter in an instant, and not even a sound came out.

"Letter ......" Chen Jiu rushed over and bowed down at the mouth of the stove, it seemed that she was going to put out the fire with her bare hands and pick up the letter back, but she was only stunned in the end, and did not really do so. It wasn't because she was afraid of the fire, but when she rushed over, she saw that the letter had been consumed by the flames and could not be taken back.

"Why?" Chen Jiu looked back in a daze, looked at Lin Shan and said puzzledly, "You went to great lengths to find it, didn't you just keep it?" Why burn it again? ”

"Because...... Admittedly, the letter is full of unpleasant memories. Lin Shan's words paused at this point, and after a moment he continued: "I am no longer a young man, and it is really ridiculous for me to think about learning to forget until now. ”

Aged sake doesn't feel ridiculous at all.

She could understand how heavy the self-blame Lin Shan felt for the outcome of Ye Ziqing's life. Although she was still a little puzzled, she always felt that the reason for her guilt was not as simple as a word of rejection.

Although Ye Ziqing finally changed her choice to marry the emperor because of his refusal, judging from the content and tone of the letter, she did not hold a grudge against him, and still trusted and relied on him.

Maybe there are some other reasons for Lin Shan's self-blame, although Chen Jiu can't know in detail now, she believes that she is from another angle's intuition. Of course, she also hopes that Lin Shan can choose a relationship as much as possible, but she also knows that it is not so easy for him to forget the shadow that has been lingering in his heart for more than ten years, and it is by no means as simple as forgetting one thing.

What one person can remember for another person is so small and cumbersome, more complicated than the rings carved on the trunk of a tree.

However, while Chen Jiu was surprised, there was a hint of relief in his heart, no matter what, Lin Shan really had the action of trying to forget the bad memories of the past from today. Start by burning the letter.

Without this letter as a physical carrier, it would be easier to forget something by removing the support point between the illusory image in the mind and the distant past.

"Brother Lin, I hope you have a happy life, even when you talk about Sister Ye, you can calm down, instead of stabbing your heart like just now." Chen Jiu took half a step back, squatted down beside Lin Shan again, looked at him at a very close distance, and said word by word: "If it was before." I think about it a lot. If only you could forget her. But now my mind has changed, if I can't forget, I will remember, but I should remember it calmly, like remembering an old friend. ”

"Hmm......" Lin Shan muttered for a moment. Then he smiled. said: "I talked to you about this today. At first, I didn't want to talk about old things, but I didn't expect to say so much, and a lot of sudden meaning was actually gained from you. You're really ingenious. Looks like I'm going to have to talk to you more often in the future. ”

The thin letter in the hearth, which had been lost in the flames, was finally burned through, and somehow, a piece of ash, still in the shape of a letter stump, flew out of the hearth, swirled up the roof of the kitchen, and hovered for a moment before falling gently.

It happened to fall on a strand of hair in front of the old wine's forehead.

Lin Shan didn't have time to think about it, reached out and picked up the thin piece of ash, and bounced his fingers away at will.

After bounced off the ash stain, his hand paused in mid-air for a moment, and then did not withdraw it, but returned to the corner of Chenjiu's forehead.

Chen Jiu was slightly stunned, and then she soon found that the look in the eyes of the man she admired seemed to have changed, some like a windless lake, calm enough to reflect her own shadow, and some like melted grease, she was deeply trapped in it but didn't want to extricate herself.

Lin Shan caressed the long silky hair of the woman in front of him, and his mind was also extremely supple at this moment, he read a kind of expectation and a little apprehension in the woman's eyes, and his heart suddenly throbbed, bowed his head slightly, and gently knocked down his lips.

The warm touch, like a little spark, ignited the heart.

When he gently kissed the smooth piece of her forehead, he could clearly see her eyes flickering, and her eyelashes seemed to have a trace of aura, which was quite moving. And when he let go of the hand that covered her long satin hair, he saw that there were two more rouges on her face...... It was as if for the first time his heart was beating faster for her beauty.

At this time, the heart of the aged wine beats faster.

Obviously, she was just squatting beside him, but it seemed that she had just come back from running dozens of miles outside, in addition to her heart beating faster and her breathing was slightly short, she also felt that her face was on fire.

"Is it red?" Chen Jiu covered his face, revealing only a pair of eyes shining between his split fingers, looking at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan said without thinking: "It's red." ”

"I ...... I'm going to be laughed to death by others......" Chen Jiu covered his face tighter, "Who has ever seen a thirty-year-old woman blush?" ”

Lin Shan stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and said with a smile: "I've seen it." ”

Chen Jiu didn't say anything more, but ran out with his face covered, and before he could stand up straight, he ran out, looking like a rabbit whose tail had been pulled.

Lin Shan didn't have time to think about it, he stood up and called out the door.

He didn't hear the echo, thinking that she had run away, but he didn't expect that it wouldn't be long before she ran back again.

Chen Jiu stared at Lin Shan and asked, "What do you call me for?" ”

She finally let go of the hand that was covering her face, but her face was still a touching red.

Lin Shan shook his head slightly, and after being stunned for a moment, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a large pot of porridge churning hot on the stove, and said with some embarrassment: "This...... How do you boil water after it is boiling? ”

"Just keep cooking." Chen Jiu couldn't help laughing, walked to the stove, picked up the big iron spoon for scooping rice, and stirred it into the pot with white rice soup a few times, and then covered the pot, leaving a narrow slit to prevent the soup from boiling, and then she turned her face, looked at Lin Shan and said: "Cooking porridge is one of the easiest skills to learn in cooking, that is, it is always burning under the stove, and paying attention to stirring in the pot, just learning this trick is enough to starve people." ”

"I see." Lin Shan sat back in front of the stove and continued to light the fire, then said with a smile: "Then you are responsible for stirring it above, and I will be responsible for burning it below." ”

Chen Jiu walked over slowly, squatted beside Lin Shan, looked at him and said, "Why aren't you stirring up on top and burning below?" ”

As soon as she said this, her cheeks, which had only slightly "cooled down", "burned" again. Unconsciously talked about the question of who went up and who went down, although on the surface it was about cooking on the fire. But in the kitchen, where a certain subtle atmosphere had not yet dissipated, in front of the red glow of the hearth, it was easy to detonate a new round of burning by saying such a thing.

Lin Shan turned his face back and looked at Chen Jiu's somewhat strange eyes, and after a moment, a hint of brilliance rose in his eyes.

"Brother Lin......"

Just when the two people, whose eyes were a little glued together, were about to spark with each other, Chen Jiu suddenly opened his mouth to call, but his tone was not very tender.

"Huh?" Lin Shan's eyes moved slightly.

"Look...... Chen Jiu pointed a little to the ground, "...... Your seal has fallen out. ”

Lin Shan subconsciously looked down.

There was nothing left on the ground.

However, before he could react, he may have been subjected to some kind of calculation. Then he felt his lips touch a soft, slightly damp touch. The faint smell of wine almost swept him into the deep pool, but his body suddenly became as light as a leaf riding the wind, spinning in the clouds.

At the moment when Lin Shan bowed his head slightly, Chen Jiu, who was squatting beside him, suddenly raised his face. She had just wanted to peck it lightly. Picking pieces is gentle. But she didn't expect that when she touched it, she couldn't help but immerse herself in it, and she tossed and grinded it unwillingly.

When she felt a little suffocated. Realizing that she had plundered enough, she let go of him. Before he could come to his senses, she had risen and fled like a thief woman who had just been killed, and fled into the half-dark evening night outside the kitchen.

She was a little worried about whether Lin Shan would blame her for being too proactive.

She was also a little happy afraid, afraid that Lin Shan would catch her back and plunder her again. She wondered if if she would not only blush as rouge, but also burn and bleed.

If a woman has a nosebleed because she is infatuated with a man, if this appearance spreads, her face will be really lost.

-- Even if you lose face in this way, you will be happy.

Lin Shan stood at the door, looking a little stunned in the direction of Chen Jiu's escape, and it wasn't until a moment later that he came back to his senses.

was actually used by a woman?

Lin Shan raised his hand and touched his lips, which seemed to be warm and soft with her.

Although I lost my grace a little just now, it felt ...... Actually, it's quite intoxicating......

Lin Shanwu smiled to himself, not knowing that at this time, a trace of blood red had also appeared on his face, although it was extremely faint, but it was quite conspicuous on his originally slightly pale face.

This is the first time that Chen Jiu has used strong against Lin Shan, and it is also the first time that Lin Shan has been used by a woman.

Even Ye Ziqing, many years ago, dared to throw himself into his arms and climbed on his back, but he would not use this throbbing way to rob away his tenderness.

I don't know how long he stood like this before Lin Shan came back to his senses and realized that there was still a task in the kitchen. He was about to follow the example of Chen Jiu just now, and stirred the porridge pot twice with the iron spoon that was used to scoop rice, but as soon as he turned around, he found that the fire in the stove had been extinguished again.

Using paper as firewood, although there is a reason for it, there is no need to pity the price of paper, but after all, it can't compare to the heat of firewood. Although the paper catches fire quickly, it has no stamina, and it burns out quickly and extinguishes quickly.

Lin Shan didn't know so much, he only knew that cooking was not only troublesome, but he didn't seem to have the talent to learn, and he had failed many times over the years, so he didn't hesitate to call someone to help.

Soon two guards walked in, and both of them saw the strangeness on Lin Shan's face, but because the one on the left was a little faster, he couldn't help but say curiously: "My lord, why is your face a little strange?" ”

"Really?" Lin Shan hesitated for a moment, and didn't ask the guard what the strange method was, but turned to say: "Your eyesight is good, and your eyes are burning, so you can go out first." ”

The guard was stunned, a little unclear, but vaguely aware that he seemed to have said something wrong, and withdrew in a daze.

The guard, who didn't speak, watched this qiē, but at this time he understood a little. He had been staying in the vicinity, and when Chen Jiu ran out just now, he had seen it, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the picture he had silently deduced.

The more silent guard sat down in front of the stove, and kept throwing books into the stove as Lin Shan commanded, and he pressed his head very low, not afraid of being smoked by the smoke wafting from the stove, but laughing.

But only for a while. The guard couldn't help it, because the fire was suddenly fierce and high, and the porridge in the iron pot on the stove boiled so much that the rice soup overflowed.

When Lin Shan lifted the lid of the pot, the guard glanced at the pot, and couldn't help but worry and said, "This rice is too late to be harvested, and it can't be made into rice, so I can only drink porridge tonight." ”

These guards in the residence have to undergo two rounds of physical training every day, and the body consumption is large, and all of them have a dry meal, and the meal is meaty. They are indeed not used to drinking gruel with clear water and oligorice. And not without reason.

Lin Shan had only heard the same words from Chen Jiu once, so he didn't think there was anything strange about the result of cooking rice into porridge. He was just after lifting the lid of the pot. I think those bubbles on the porridge noodles are a little weird. The white mist and water vapor also smell a little burnt.

He hesitated. He remembered what Chen Jiu had just said, stirring in the pot from time to time. Although this was understood by him in the atmosphere full of ** in the room just now, he had to say that this was indeed an important precaution for cooking porridge.

When Lin Shan took the big iron spoon and stirred it into the pot. He found that although there was rice soup on top of the porridge, the rice under the rice soup was about to be slowly boiled into a cake by the fire that was weak and strong. When he shoveled down with another spoon, he saw a slightly charred ...... Pot ......

After he stirred it a few more times, the pot of porridge was completely dry and unable to move.

Without hesitation, Lin Shan immediately walked to the water tank, scooped up a full scoop of water and poured it into the slightly boiling porridge pot. He has always been prepared and resolute. The inside of the pot was indeed "quiet", and there was a soup that could be used to cook rice grains, so that the layer at the bottom of the pot would continue to increase.

The guards who were sitting under the stove to add fuel to the fire couldn't help but squint.

Add cold water directly to the boiling porridge, this is still a pot of porridge with burnt rice, God, even a layman knows how strange this pot of porridge will be.

Throwing the water scoop back on the lid of the water tank, Lin Shan saw the strange expression on the guard's face on one side, and said casually, "Is there anything strange?" The old wine was originally intended to be cooked, but later it was cooked into porridge and rice by me, a novice who burned the fire, and the water was naturally not enough, so it was right to add a little. ”

The waiter was afraid that the amazing adult in front of him would make some new tricks of the burnt rice porridge, so he only dared to cling to and answer: "Yes, yes." ”

"Well......" Lin Shan nodded with basic satisfaction, his eyes flickered, and he saw the handkerchief that Chen Jiu had accidentally left just now, he quickly picked up the handkerchief and held it in his palm, and then said to the guard: "I'll go out first, your wine sister said that cooking porridge is a very simple thing, about ...... You boil the porridge in the pot one more time and it's ready to eat. ”

"Yes, yes." After listening to Lin Shan's words, the guard almost couldn't help but speak in a hurried tone, but he finally reluctantly held back and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "If your lord has something to do, you can rest assured that you can leave it to your subordinates to take care of." ”

"Good." Lin Shan didn't say anything more, tied his hands behind his back, and finally went out.

The guard got up and took a few steps, and when he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the stove, his face obviously collapsed, and he couldn't smile bitterly.

The slightly burnt smell wafting from the kitchen was already telling him with the most honest testimony that the strange smell of the porridge had been frozen.

――

His cheeks flew like a flower, and he lowered his head and smiled and ran into his room, closed the door tightly, and never came out for a long time.

Sitting in front of the dressing mirror, she touched her cheeks that were as warm as usual, but they seemed to be baked on the fire, and looked at herself in the mirror like a clumsy girl who was learning to grind fat, accidentally smeared too many bright colors on her face, but she couldn't wipe it off.

But she was not anxious at all, and she was only full of joy at this time.

can rob his tenderness, even if he only does it this time in this life, it will not be in vain for so many years of hard work and loneliness.

In fact...... It doesn't seem too difficult......

Do you want to give it another try?

Chen Jiu's face burned again.

got up and left the dresser, walked to the table next to the side and sat down, pouring cup after cup of herbal tea from the teapot, and the heat on her heart and face cooled down slightly.

Just now her heart was so excited that she almost wanted to climb the mountain to announce her victory to Guangye, but after all, she was not fifteen or sixteen years old, and she chose to store the feeling of joy and happiness more carefully than to want everyone to know about it, so that it could be tasted for a long time.

After sitting quietly at the table for an unknown amount of time, Chen Jiu felt that the heat on his face had returned to normal. When I walked back to the vanity mirror and looked at it, I saw that the two strange rouge colors were finally much lighter. She breathed a sigh of relief, she hadn't really been a woman yet, so she still had to go out to meet people tonight.

Don't know what's going on in the kitchen? Almost all of the young people in the house did not want to drink porridge, and it was better to go back and get them some appetizers.

Chen Jiu didn't know that she had been sitting in the room for half an hour, and some kind of bad situation in the kitchen room was no longer able to recover.

She didn't know it yet, although it seemed to her that the flush on her face had receded a lot. But in the eyes of others. At this time today, she is still a little unusually delicate and moving, as if she has a rare time to decorate her delicate face.

After following Lin Shan to this remote place three years ago, the old wine has always been plain. Except because of the initial injury, the weakened forest fir can't smell the smell of fat powder. Later, it was the old wine himself who became accustomed to this simple but authentic way of life.

Most of the women in the town are plain. Living in such an environment. If you pay too much attention to the smear on the skin, it will be a little different. Also, I have to cook from time to time. If you want to enter the fermentation room of the winery with a high temperature environment, it is actually a burden to wear heavy makeup on your face.

But once a woman who is used to her appearance is used to makeup, she will be very conspicuous.

Although Chen Jiu didn't really smear rouge on her face, the smear that her originally fair cheeks revealed from the inside out would be brighter than rouge, and it would be more difficult to completely remove the traces.

The lips are gentle and comfortable, do you know what you want to do with a gentleman?

――

Chen Jiu stood up with her sleeves clutched, and finally walked out of her room, but she hadn't gone a few steps before she ran into an oncoming maid. At this time, the night outside had gradually deepened, but the maid carrying the small lantern on the road still saw the strangeness on Chen Jiu's face at a glance, and immediately said "Huh".

Although Lin Shan didn't officially announce anything, Chen Jiu was actually the chief steward of all the maids in the residence, and even those guards of Lin Shan had to respect her for three points. But in fact, Chen Jiu is not a person who often shows his power, which is somewhat similar to Lin Shan, so while these maids respect her, they probably have the temperament to say anything.

But today the situation is clearly somewhat different.

Seeing the maidservant girl say "huh", Chen Jiu's face tensed slightly.

But the maid seemed to ignore this, and her attention was still on the strange complexion of Chen Jiu's face, and after a puzzled moment, she said slowly: "Sister Jiu, did you put on makeup today?" Although it looks a little strange at first, you will find that Sister Jiu is a beauty, and after the powder makeup is sparse, she is even more beautiful, and even the little girl I am almost fascinated! ”

There is indeed some flattery in the words of this servant, but it is undeniable that most of what is said is the truth. However, at this time, whether in the face of flattery or sincerity, Chen Jiu expressed his resistance.

In short, no one is allowed to see her red-faced.

She didn't know why her shy energy suddenly rose so high.

Obviously she robbed him?

Shouldn't he be the one who is embarrassed? You should come up with the winner's ...... That's it...... Be ashamed!

Looking at the big sister who clenched her sleeves tightly, didn't say a word, and seemed to be still stunned, she walked away quickly with a small broken step, and the little maid with the lantern stood in place and was stunned, and only after a long time did she pout slightly and muttered: "I didn't say anything wrong, right?" ”

――

Walking to the position near the kitchen, Chen Jiu's pace slowed down unconsciously, but his heartbeat unconsciously increased again.

But it didn't take long for her to calm down again, for she did not see the man who tugged at her heartstrings as she had imagined, standing at the door, waiting for her to come back so that she could inflict some kind of punishment, but she was only surprised to see seven young guards squatting in a row at the door of the little stove, each holding a bowl in his hand.

Although this picture is not so shabby that she thinks of beggars on the street, it is also really a bit face-damaging, where are these guards squatting at the door with bowls still have a majestic aura, as if they are a group of prisoners who have been taken out of the prison by indifferent jailers to "let the wind go".

It is not difficult to guess that the "jailer" is played by Lin Shan.

As soon as the seven dejected-looking guards saw Chen Jiu coming, they all quickly stood up, as if a lost person had found a star in the dark night, or as if a drowning person had seen a wooden plank floating on the water from a distance.

Seeing the seven people approaching together, Chen Jiu immediately paused. Surprised, he said, "What's wrong with all of you?" ”

"Sister Jiu, your boss is finally here......" one of the guards wailed before he could explain, "Hurry up and use a magic spell to save us!" ”

"Don't zoom in on people in the kitchen anymore." The other guard, who spoke next, was calmer, but there was a clear sense of depth in his eyes.

"For the first time in my life...... Uh-huh......" The third squire hesitated slightly, as if picking at the adjectives he thought appropriate...... This should not be enough to be called a prison meal, but more like pig food......"

Although the voices of the people in front of him were rising and falling, Chen Jiu had roughly understood what they were eager to express.

However, she can only express regret about this matter, the rice has become porridge, and it is futile to try to change anything.

Chen Jiu pondered and said, "I can only stir-fry a few dishes for you to whet your appetite." After saying that. Chen Jiu picked Jiang Chao out of the crowd with his gaze. Walking towards the kitchen together, they casually asked, "Why are you a few of you guilty, but what about the others?" ”

"Summoned, the closest of us are of course the fastest. How do you know that there is such a thing on the wheel? "Jiang Chao is the one who has been with Lin Shan's side the longest among these guards. But when I thought of what happened to me and my other brothers. He couldn't help but show a sense of Qi Qi on his face.

Chen Jiu couldn't help but want to laugh, and let Lin Shan go to the kitchen, and it was already lucky that he didn't cause a disaster.

Astringent grooming. Chen Jiu asked again, "But he left first?" ”

Jiang Chao's eyes moved slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Didn't he come to look for you?" ”

Chen Jiu had already walked to the stove, and was about to reach out and lift the lid of the pot, ready to watch the "miserable situation" in the iron pot, when she heard the words, she froze her hand again, and said sideways: "I didn't see him." Of course, she wouldn't say why she had locked herself in the house.

Jiang Chao was slightly surprised in his heart, and before he could say anything more, he and Chen Jiu both heard the familiar voice coming from outside.

Lin Shan, who boiled a pot of pig food by his subordinates, came back at some point, maybe he had the ability to deify, and he heard his subordinates talking bad about him from afar, so he had to come back and give a little lecture.

"When you get used to eating and drinking spicy food, you forget the taste of chaff? If you are moved from the rear to the front, will you be wiped out by cutting off your food? Lin Shan's tone of voice was rarely full of strong commanding tones, "Not even half a drop of porridge juice is left!" Otherwise, you'll all go back to Kyoto in a few days! ”

If outsiders listen to this, they will definitely find it very strange.

If you return to Kyoto, a single copper coin can exert its maximum and abundant purchasing power. Compared to this remote town, Kyoto is a fairyland on earth, with all kinds of supplies. With the actual capital accumulated by these few guards who are now looking extremely pitiful, it can be afforded for several years to eat and drink spicy food in the imperial city, and to serve chicken, duck and fish meat in a basin.

Isn't it impossible to send them back to Kyoto?

Why does Lin Shan's tone seem to have a sense of punishment in it?

However, no matter whether anyone at the scene didn't understand these words at this time, at least someone quickly proved how weighty Lin Shan's punishment was with his actions.

"My lord, my subordinates suddenly miss the taste of chaff cakes, can I exchange this bowl of porridge with you?" One of the guards couldn't help but ask, looking apprehensive.

"Where can I go to find chaff for you now?" Lin Shan's tone was obviously not good, "Remember, picking your mouth is your big taboo. ”

No one dared to raise their voices for any chance of relief, and a slight sound of sluping porridge gradually came from outside the house.

Lin Shan walked into the stove house, as if he was about to open the cupboard to get the bowl, and when he saw that Chen Jiu was also in the kitchen room, he was slightly stunned, and then his face softened, and he said with a smile: "You are also here, by the way, try my craft." ”

Jiang Chao turned his head sideways and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

Chen Jiu lifted the lid of the pot, and then saw the substance in the pot that could not be described in beautiful words, even if she did not taste it herself, it was not difficult for her to imagine what kind of "wonderful" taste that substance had.

There was a faint acacia moisture wafting beside her, Chen Jiu subconsciously looked sideways, and then she noticed that the reason why Lin Shan didn't go to her after leaving the kitchen just now turned out to be going to the bathing room. The robe on his body, which was stained with the smoke of wood and the smell of blood, had been replaced, and at this time it was a green cloth robe of a similar color, no wonder she didn't see it when he first walked in.

Lin Shan's hair was loosely tucked behind his head, and it wasn't until he approached Chen Jiu's side that Chen Jiu could see a strand of wet hair hanging down from the corner of his forehead, and water droplets were still dripping on his tail.

"Why do you wash your hair at night? Ming'er should have a headache again. Chen Jiu put down the lid of the pot, reached into his sleeve, and wanted to take out a handkerchief to wipe his hair, but he was empty, and her face couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Lin Shan noticed her move and said with a smile, "I picked up your handkerchief." ”

This was originally a very ordinary sentence, but somehow, at this time, Chen Jiu looked at the subtle change in the expression on Lin Shan's face, and after listening to him say this, his cheeks unconsciously warmed up slightly.

The kitchen space is limited, and the voice of a person can quickly spread to every corner, and even the tone of the words is not compromised at all. Jiang Chao, who was standing on the side, had already realized that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the room, so he slowly withdrew lightly.

(To be continued......)
