- After only a moment's hesitation, she let go of a hand holding an old wine jug and stretched out an index finger to point at Liao Shi's upper abdomen three steps away. The steady dìng of her fingertips proved that her finger was not random, but really aimed at something. She said leisurely: "Zhongguan or Jianli, choose one." You're so thin, it only takes a punch to spit out what you've drunk, and it doesn't take much effort. ”

"Thief girl, you can't be ready to come for real, are you?" Liao Shi's eyes shrank, and after saying this sentence with a surprised expression, he suddenly laughed easily again, thinking that Chen Jiu was bluffing her, so he shook his head slightly and said: "You will also do that verbally, how can you really do it?" ”

"No, I've been studying for almost a year, and I often try to touch it on Brother Lin, and it's already very accurate to catch holes." While Chen Jiu said this, he glanced at Lin Shan beside him, and saw that the wandering look in his eyes just now had disappeared and was replaced by a light smile.

Although she knew that the smile was not hers, she still felt a warmth in her heart.

If the person I love is not fully in love with me, then I still love him, even if his well-being and happiness have nothing to do with me.

He looked at the person beside him with wide eyes, and fell in love with the smile on his face for a while, and finally moved his gaze to the face of the thin old man with a poisonous tongue, Chen Jiu continued: "However, although I am already very accurate in catching acupoints, Imperial Doctor Wu also said that catching acupoints is a university question, if I change to someone with a very different physique from Brother Lin, and let me catch acupoints again, I will not be allowed again." For example, a physique like Uncle Liao, who is obviously an adult, but has a body like a child, should be a great test for beginners in cave catching, I really want to try it immediately! ”

Liao Shi hurriedly wrapped his arms in front of his abdomen, blocking the two acupuncture points that were firmly locked by Chen Jiu's sight. The corners of his lips moved slightly, and finally he didn't say anything in front of Chen Jiu, but turned around and walked out.

Get out the door. Only then did I hear the two words he repeated as if muttering: "Crazy, crazy, crazy......"

Lin Shan looked at Chen Jiu, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "You have played a little too much." ”

Chen Jiu playfully raised the corners of his mouth. smiled: "Actually, Uncle Liao is a very good person, but why are all the rumors I have heard about him belittled or slandered?" ”

"Not everyone can be like you and me, and he is open-mouthed. Some people are not afraid of the pain of cutting their skin with a sword, but they are very concerned about the trauma of words. Being open-mouthed can sometimes hurt you more than being incapable of doing things. Lin Shan sighed with emotion and said, "However, Uncle Liao seems to have taken both sides. In addition to being easy to hurt people, he is good at poisoning. In his early years, he also hurt a lot of people. In the same way, not everyone can understand his medicine, and people generally only pay attention to the results of saving lives and helping the wounded. However, ordinary people really don't have the need to study medical technology and pharmacology, which is also human nature! ”

Chen Jiu raised his light and thin eyebrows, and suddenly said, "It seems that Uncle Liao's choice is right." If I'm a healer, it doesn't matter how many people I've healed. Even if you miss once, you will overturn all your merits and have a bad name. I'll get tired of it too. ”

"For medicine to progress, someone always needs to sacrifice some interests for it." Lin Shan shook his head slightly, and said slowly: "There are almost nothing in this world that can sit back and enjoy it, even if a rich child inherits the family business, if he doesn't continue to work hard to create something new, no matter how big the family business is, it will retreat." It's just that if you choose medical care, the matter of human life and safety becomes complicated. As a healer, many times you will be in an environment where you cannot choose to make choices. ”

"You're reminded of more than 10 years ago. Uncle Liao was led to the palace by Uncle Yan, and then killed the former Queen Mother? Chen Jiu looked at the person beside him. Said slowly: "After hearing you mention this once, I often think about it. If it weren't for the incident of the former Empress Dowager, with Uncle Liao's skills, he might have already been famous in Kyoto. The old scourge in the previous dynasty is still very good at splashing dirty water. ”

"At first glance, it looks like this, but it's not really." Lin Shan smiled indifferently, and then said: "Although the matter of the former Empress Dowager gave Uncle Liao a stained hat, but what people's hearts look like and how history is rewritten depends on the people of the world. You've only heard me say a few words, but you don't know the details. If the Empress Dowager of the previous dynasty had not given Liao Shi a test, the first person to die in his hands might have been the second prince Wang Hong. ”

Chen Jiu was stunned when he heard this.

Lin Shan looked at her and moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, he raised his hand and signaled that he would not talk in detail.

After a moment of silence, Lin Shan suddenly called: "Little wine..."

Lowering his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something, Chen Jiu raised his eyelashes when he heard the sound, and saw Lin Shan looking at her and said: "What Uncle Liao said just now is not entirely wrong, you have indeed changed a little recently, rude titles like 'old immortal' and 'old scourge', you never used them before." ”

"I know you'd never say anything like that." Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Are you afraid that I will tire your reputation?" ”

"That's not going to ......," Lin Shan pondered, "First, you are a wine seller on the street of a small town, and you learned these words from the butcher's wife who sells haggis next door to your wine shop." Second, you are not my insider, and even my subordinates will not think about me as you learn. ”

At this time, there was no one else in the room, and Chen Jiu didn't need to maintain the superficial feelings too much, and she was finally able to put the unhappiness in her heart into words.

"Uncle Liao's words are really right, you really dislike me." Chen Jiu said, and also clenched his small fist and slapped Lin Shan's arm, but the strength of the next punch was extremely light, and the beating was a fake style, but the coquettish posture was extremely vivid.

Lin Shan didn't avoid the powder punch at all, and he was a little swaying, I don't know if it was because he smelled too much of the rich aroma of the aged wine syrup today, and was drunk by the large dose of medicine for two years and became very fragile, so he had some kind of illusion...... Or, for the first time, did he discover the beauty of the woman next to him who could knock on his heart the most?

However, this beautiful feeling of trance did not last long, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Lin Shan's hearing had become morbidly acute due to the damage caused by the drug, and although the footsteps were still dozens of steps away from the door, he could already hear them.

led Yan Xingzhi, the little son of the Yan family, to the door of the dining room, and the guards stopped outside the door.

Yan Xingzhi walked in slowly, holding an envelope in his hand.

"The juniors don't know what to write. After thinking about it for a long time, it still couldn't ...... sentence" Yan Xingzhi hesitated, held up the envelope with both hands, and handed it to Lin Shan. "Uncle Lin, can you help the juniors take a look at what is not well written. Just erase it. ”

"If it's a family letter, you won't make a single mistake, including the wrong word. Your real family can read another word from a typo you write. Lin Shan took the envelope, and with the touch of his fingers, he only felt that the letter was too thin. But he didn't say anything about it, just calmly and seriously continued: "You are not a candidate of the Academy of Sciences, and I am not the chief examiner. I will never read your family letters. ”

After saying this, he walked over to the spotlessly polished tea table, put the letter down and flipped it to the back, and then took out an iron box and a fire fold that he had brought with him. Open the box and peel out a ball of fire paint from the inside, then blow the fire fold, and burn the fire paint and drop it on the seal of the letter bag.

At this time, Lin Shan asked again: "Do you have a seal that can prove your name?" ”

Lin Shan's action in this set of letters was too decisive and too fast, Yan Xingzhi didn't come back to his senses at all, and he was just stunned when he heard the words.

"Then just press the fingerprints." Lin Shan didn't wait long, and the fire paint hardened as soon as it cooled.

Yan Xingzhi came back to his senses. Without saying more, according to the words, he pressed his thumb on the still soft slightly hot fire paint.

"Uncle Lin is very busy, but he still has a letter to his juniors. The work of the wild goose is really a shame for the younger generation. If there is an opportunity in the future, the younger generation will definitely come to thank you. On the occasion of parting, Yan Xingzhi took a deep look, and his words were very close to the customary salute of famous families.

"The lightness of a piece of paper, the matter of raising a hand, what can be done." Lin Shan smiled, then pointed to Liao Shi's shabby-looking medicine box on the tea case, and then said, "The pharmacist has decided to take you back to his ancestral mountain gate." It seems to you that it is just a sentence and a decision, but he has to face double pressure and danger. You also have to cherish yourself along the way. ”

"Thank you Uncle Lin for your kind words. The younger generations remembered. Yan Xingzhi waved his hands again, and then he was about to carry the strap of the medicine box.

At this time, the old wine on the side suddenly called "Wait a minute". Then he trotted to the back hall. After a few moments, she trotted all the way back, and the gray earthenware flask in her hand was gone, but there was an old gourd hollowed out and a flask.

"It's hard to put this old wine when the mud is opened, bring it to the pharmacist, he likes this." Chen Jiu handed out the old gourd, and when Yan Xingzhi took it, she picked up the blanket hanging on her shoulder, handed it over and said: "This is some of the dried meat I made, all of which have been marinated with good spices, and it is best to go down the throat with the wine." ”

"Thank you...... Aunt ......" Yan Xingzhi happily took the old gourd, and almost brought out the word "aunt", and when he slipped out of the rhyme, he was forced to twist it into a "aunt" word, and the sense of language was a little strange.

Although Yan Xingzhi is extremely young, a person like him who is relatively shallow in the world will not be accustomed to thinking about some trivial possibilities, but can look directly at the essence of the event. Three years ago, he followed Liao Shizhong in Lin Shan's northbound team, and along the way, he saw how the woman named Chen Jiu in front of him took care of Lin Shan.

Even if Lin Shan has not made any commitment to aged wine for some reason, in Yan Xingzhi's view, whether or not to say a certain sentence at this time will not constitute a changeable interference in whether something can be achieved or not.

However, Tong Guò got along with each other in the past three years in the Northland, although Yan Xingzhi admired Lin Shan's personality very much, but this man who was older than him had no kinship with the Yan family after all, and he still needed to guard the humility of his juniors, so even if he decided in his heart about it, before Lin Shan himself officially spoke, he was not good at saying anything.

Chen Jiu listened to Yan Xingzhi's slightly strange tone, and misunderstood his mood a little, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a brocade bag from behind his back, shook it slightly, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Of course, we can't forget the Yan family's little young master's favorite peach flesh and preserved fruit." It's just that the vegetables and fruits here are sold very expensive, and there is no silver to buy, so I only made these four taels of preserved fruits, but it is not a small family of wine aunts. ”

Lin Shan said softly on the side: "The road is far away, and there is no light burden, so I can't bring more." ”

At this time, Yan Xingzhi's eyebrows were already trembling slightly, and his eyes were flooded with a layer of moisture. Except for the two people who said goodbye to him in front of him, during the three years he stayed in the Northland, he never neglected to take care of him in two ways, and at this time, gratitude came to his heart. It made his chest almost full; It's also because he finally couldn't help but say that......

Rules, Sven ...... Sometimes it's time to fuck ......

Yan Xingzhi suddenly rushed out of the door......

Then two words came from the back of his old gourd flipping on his left side and the old gourd jumping on his right side......

"Mr. Lin, stay with her!"

"You're in this together. Another day, when the boy comes to repay the favor, he doesn't have to go to the second place! ”

Both people in the room were stunned.

The strict practice outside the door was not until he ran away. His pace slowed down, and then he looked back from afar, grinning and browning, and the smile on his face was very bright.

Seeing the face that was a little blurred because of the distance, I could clearly feel the sunny sky in the smile, and the old wine, who had been just standing in the house and watching the gifts, suddenly felt like a clear sky. From the old to the young, as well as those generals who are more familiar with this side from the outside to the inside, they all show some kind of expectation and advance wishes. It's just the last choice of the people around you.

Chen Jiu looked at Lin Shan beside him, and saw that he was looking out of the door somewhere, and his eyes still fell on the path that Yan Xingzhi was running on, silent as if he was thinking about something.

She looked at him thinking, and she almost couldn't help but ask him if she was thinking about the Jian Yì that the young master of the Yan family seemed to reveal with all his strength when he left.

But she moved her lips and hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped the thought.

Because she cherished the man in front of her, including every moment of standing side by side, sitting opposite him, looking at each other, and talking together, she set several rules of self-discipline for herself very early. One of the most frequently used ones is not to interrupt the man's silent thinking.

Lin Shan quickly stripped his spirit from that brief thought, after all, Yan Xingzhi's words only touched him slightly. It doesn't make much of a wave of heart.

Seeing Chen Jiu's waiting gaze, he just said gently, "Do you want to send them off?" ”

Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said, "I won't go, I said those disrespectful words to Uncle Liao just now, he should be a little annoying to me." ”

Lin Shan held a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said slowly: "I have seen many doctors, and there are very few people like him who have been persevering for one thing for several years, so he is actually an extremely difficult person to annoy. ”

Chen Jiu suddenly asked curiously: "You don't bother such a persevering person, even if he has shortcomings that are several times more hateful than his precious character of perseverance. Really? ”

"Yes......" Lin Shan replied with one word, and he seemed to be aware of it. This question of aged wine may contain the storage zài of two people. One is Liao Shi. One is herself.

There was no more thoughtful look on his face, but there was silence.

Chen Jiu sighed softly, his eyes inadvertently swept over the letter with fire paint on the tea case, and then remembered the location next to the letter, and put aside Liao Shi's medicine box, which was shabby on the outside but extremely rich and neat inside.

"Actually, you should send him off." After a moment's hesitation, she spoke again, already saying something else, "The Medicine Master never leaves his box behind, he's prompting you to send him." ”

"No, he's prompting Yan Xingzhi." Lin Shan said with an indifferent smile, "If he takes the medicine box first, the young master of the Yan family is afraid that he will go crazy and look for him." In a hurry, it is inevitable that something will be missed, such as losing your family letters, losing your 50-year-old wine puree. ”

Chen Jiu smiled: "You mean that the pharmacist is waiting for his little attendant medicine boy to sweep the field for him?" ”

Lin Shan said with a smile: "He still knows how to use people." ”

Chen Jiu gradually smiled on his face, and said calmly: "Then you really don't plan to send him?" ”

"No, no." Lin Shan sat down beside the tea table.

"You don't go...... Chen Jiu sat down on the chair on the other side of the tea table without the slightest hesitation, "...... Then I won't go. ”

Lin Shan glanced at Chen Jiu deeply and did not speak.

There was no sound in the dining room for a long time.

Even the command to summon the maid to clean up the scraps of the table did not come out.

After another hour of this, several maidservants who had been lined out of the house because they were not allowed to disturb finally approached and inquired about the guards at the door, only to find that the dining room was already empty.

A servant girl couldn't help but say, "Sir is so strange today, I had a meal with Yao Lao, but he lined us up so far away, and he didn't tell him to put away the bowl when he left." Let's wait a long time. ”

The guard at the door heard this, his voice was slightly cold, and he only said: "Please don't regard Lord Lin's humility and gentleness as a presumptuous space, and not any woman can walk so close to Lord Lin like Miss Chen." Doing our own job should be your duty and I should do it at all times. If you feel that you can't get over here with Lord Lin, I can help you ask Lord Lin for instructions. I'm sure he won't be reluctant to send someone to take you back to Beijing. ”

The talkative servant girl couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

A few maidservants entered the house to clean up the scraps, and the maidservant who had been orally lectured by Lin Shan's henchman guard at the door just now suddenly couldn't help but say again: "What! I'm not just gossiping, what kind of fierce is that guard. ”

A tall servant girl beside her dissuaded: "You better say less!" You are not familiar with that guard, how can you gossip about the affairs of your master's house in front of him? Let alone...... The little brother at the door just now was right, don't think that you are a weak woman, you can be presumptuous with this. Of course, a gentleman will not embarrass a woman because of some trivial things. But do you know what happens if you are disgusted by him? That is, Miss Chen's appearance, talent, and character, can be a caring person for Mr., and occasionally frolicking can be unscrupulous. ”

"Che, that's your private opinion, but in my opinion, it's not. Look at the tea cup that was almost glued to Lin Shansheng's hand, don't you see? Although the Chen family's wine was mellow and attracted an endless stream of drunken buyers, Mr. Lin directly quit drinking. What does this mean? The handmaid who was talking at the door just now said to the tall handmaid with great disapproval, "After all, it's still disgusting...... Miss Chen was originally a celebrity in Dongfeng Building. And it was before Dongfeng Building changed the rules of the door plaque, he stayed in that building for a long time...... Is she still a girl......"

Except for herself, who said this, all the maidservants who were cleaning up the scraps at the table stopped moving.

When the talkative handmaid saw this scene, she realized that an extremely strong oppressive force came from the gaze of several handmaidens around her and smashed it on her face.

A servant girl in the left corner of the table suddenly said a little meanly: "Pray that you don't marry the wrong man in the future!" Because a person like you can no longer be able to get up and cheer up after a single setback. It's a setback like this, maybe every woman can't avoid it without entering the building, it seems that you are very dangerous! ”

The tall maidservant also spoke, and said in a cold voice, "Why wait for that kind of test. A servant girl like you, who likes to gossip and talk freely, I'm afraid I just need to send you back to the old Mu's mansion in Kyoto. A word loss can kill you. ”

A servant girl in the right corner of the table also said with a cold face: "It's really a shame that you are still a servant girl who has been cultivated in General Mu's mansion." General Mu's wife is the aunt of Emperor Ling of the former dynasty, and the old general also has a daughter-in-law who is also a member of the royal family of the former dynasty. The backyard of this family is one of the most complex and dangerous of Kyoto's aristocracy. Because of the subversion of the noble status of the mother's family, the struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the backyard of the Mu Mansion is even more distorted, you haven't tasted lasagna, chili oil, and skewered tofu in it, and you should have seen others enjoy it, how can you forget what Cheng dù can be harmed by the curse of the tongue? ”

Lasagna refers to a belt made of leather on the inside and brocade cloth on the outside, which is moistened with water and whipped on a person. This kind of torture instrument can be carried around, and it is not too conspicuous like a mace, but the servants and maids who have been served by this torture instrument will inevitably leave scars on their bodies that will not be erased for many years.

Chili oil is relatively simple, it is a red soup made by soaking chili peppers and peppercorns in boiling oil, but when using this kind of thing to punish the servants, it is generally made to make the servants lie on their backs or swallow them upside down. The slightest mistake in the swallowing angle may lead to a mute for the person being punished. Even if they escape the catastrophe of becoming dumb, the servants who swallow this chili oil will have diarrhea for at least seven days, and their mouth and tongue will be paralyzed and tasteless for at least a month, and they will not be able to swallow half a cent of hot food, so they will have to eat raw food for half a month and wait for the injured mouth to recover.

This trick was learned by two princesses of different generations from the Criminal Department, but it has to be said that their intention to improve it is very ingenious. Although these two condiments are somewhat expensive, they are very popular on the Kyoto table, and they are well stocked and can be used at any time, and they can afford to pay for as much as the Mu Fu spends. It's just that the servants and maids are suffering, and the ingenious wisdom of the two princesses can only make people fearful.

The first two punishments are widely used in the punishment of theft and long-tongued crimes of servants and maidservants in the back house of Mu Mansion, respectively, as for whether the punished person really stole the master's valuables, or criticized the master with many mouths, he may still have done nothing. Just blocked the intersection of the two princesses walking around the garden, and they were dragged to punishment, and no one knew.

As for the punishment of skewering tofu. is a little ingenious, and it also shows the distorted wisdom of the two hostesses.

There is no tofu that can be picked up with a fine needle. And when the two hostesses of the Mu Mansion who had the status of the princesses of the previous dynasty asked the servants and maids to string the tofu with needles, they not only asked the servants and maids to pinch the holes of the tofu strings in the hands of the servants and maids B, but also worried that they would not be able to pierce each other's fingers if they had experience, so they ordered them to be able to fluently answer the family rules and regulations of the Mu Mansion that the two princesses studied at any time while stringing the tofu.

The eldest princess and the fourth princess of the previous dynasty got together and became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the status of the royal family was lost, so they devoted themselves to the struggle for status in the family house. When he was young, the palace fighting skills and lynching experience accumulated in the deep palace were staged, and of course it can be said to be the best house fight in Kyoto.

This is the hell in the hearts of many palace slaves who were assigned to Mu Mansion! Even if one day they were extremely lucky enough to have a reason to leave there, and how many midnight dreams they had, they still couldn't escape the terrible torture they had suffered in the back house of the Mu Mansion.

At this time, the maid who was talking a lot at the door of the dining room of Lin Shan's residence, and when she entered the hall to clean up the leftovers and dishes, she was open-mouthed, and she came out of the Mu Mansion.

Therefore, the other handmaidens who cleaned up the table with her, except for some who were not accustomed to this person's pampered and arrogant words at the door just now, and listened to this person's criticism of the old wine in the hall, which really angered the maids, and the maidservants were really a little curious. Is this long-tongued girl really from the Mu Mansion?

And after being verbally beaten by all the maids around her, the long-tongued maid seemed to really remember the terrible back house of the Mu Mansion. She certainly didn't want to be sent back there, and her spiritual world was filled with fear at breakneck speed. I didn't have time to think about all the good things in Lin Shan's residence, and all I had left in my mind was the horror of the back house of the Mu Mansion thousands of miles away.

Her hands trembled, and her shoulders trembled. After a while, she suddenly said hoarsely, "I don't want to go back...... But where do we end up? It is obviously impossible for Mr. Lin to stay in Northland forever......"

The tall maid on the side smiled warmly, then raised her eyebrows and said, "It's where you're going to end up, not us." The old pharmacist is gone, and you are not the only one who can see it, and Mr. Lin will not stay here for long. ”

In the middle of her words, she glanced around at the few maidservants in the hall. With a slight expression, he said again: "So we have discussed it and stayed in the Chen family's small winery." Wherever the eldest sister goes, we will go. We sincerely admire the ability of the wine sister and are willing to follow her to be a wine lady. Who said that a woman can only be pestered by a woman in her life. If we can't find a good fate, we would rather live a good life than marry a bad man. ”

Several handmaidens standing at the table, who were obviously in line with the tall handmaiden, nodded their heads again and again.

The tall maid suddenly smiled leisurely again, and added: "However, with Sister Jiu's wide connections in Kyoto, as long as you follow her, it seems that you don't have to worry too much about finding a lover." When the time comes, watch me pour a pot of Chen family's old wine, wouldn't it be better than those brocade embroideries to lock men's hearts? ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Sister Jiu said a long time ago that if you want to keep a man's heart, you must first lock a man's stomach, and I will recite this sentence several times a day."

"Sister Jiu has been trying to make fruit wine these days, I have tasted it, maybe in the future, not only can I lock the hearts of men with wine, but even my mother-in-law and sister-in-law will pick it up together!"

All the maidservants in the hall laughed unconsciously, and the trace of melancholy that was still lingering between their brows just now was suddenly melted away...... And some of them seemed to be all glued together into the eyes of the mouthy maid who had just been speculating on the old wine.

In the joyful discussion of the maidservants, there was a certain color in the eyes of the mouthy maidservant girl sinking little by little. She didn't want to appreciate the happiness of others, but she couldn't have it herself, so she looked elsewhere.

At this time, no one noticed that the dark color in the maid's eyes was getting deeper and deeper, and gradually a little aura.

But at this moment, a person suddenly walked in from outside the door, and his eyes met the hint of anger in her eyes. The handmaid with a forest of eyes was stunned, and the speed of cleaning up her floating scheming was a little slower. The guard who came suddenly had been with Lin Shan for a while, and his eyesight was not low, and he could see at a glance that this woman seemed to have evil intentions, and she was also slightly stunned.

However, when he withdrew his eyes to look at the rest of the maidservants in the hall, he thought he understood the gloomy look in his eyes that he had just witnessed. may just be due to the jealousy between women because of something, so he didn't take this little thing to heart.

Among the several servant girls who were laughing in the hall, one of them noticed the guard who suddenly ran in a little faster than everyone else. Obviously, they were more familiar with each other, and she immediately shouted, "Brother Shanliang! ”

"Sister Mian'er......" is in full view. The guard, named Shan Liang, suddenly felt a little embarrassed to shout out the title he was already familiar with.

In fact, the handmaidens who came to pay attention together were still discussing how to lock the man's heart just now, so when they heard the slightly affectionate name of the two people in front of them, they unconsciously had a little more subtlety in their eyes.

With a slightly embarrassed smile, Lin Shan's close cong Shan Liang got down to business, and said with a smile: "Do you know where Lord Lin went?" ”

Immediately, a servant girl said, "Go and send the old pharmacist, right?" ”

Soon another maidservant disagreed: "It seems that she did not leave the dining room through the front door, but probably went to the study." ”

Shan Liang shook his head and said, "No, I'm from the study." The door is still locked. And if Lord Lin wants to send the old pharmacist, he won't not bring an attendant. ”

At this time, the maid Mian'er, who was familiar with Shan Liang, thought about it and said, "Sister Jiu is not here, maybe Mr. Lin went to the wine shop with her." ”

When Shan Liang heard this, he shook his head again and again and said, "Lord Lin can't get involved in alcohol now......" Halfway through his words, he suddenly closed his mouth, looking nervous. Maybe it was because the young women he was facing had known each other for a long time, so he was negligent for a moment and missed half a sentence.

It was only a few close servants like him who were informed of this in order to facilitate the service. But of course, Shan Liang also remembered Lin Shan's repeated emphasis and advice. This matter must be kept secret, otherwise this weakness will be taken away by those who have a heart, but it will cause great harm.

Suddenly, the attendant standing outside the door entered. It's a slap in the face to Shan Liang.

A trace of blood overflowed from the corner of Shan Liang's left mouth, and the maidservant Mian'er next to her screamed in shock when she saw this scene.

Shan Liang didn't speak, nor did he express his anger at the guard outside the door who slapped him, he just suddenly raised his right hand, not to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, nor to return the slap to the guard who slapped him, but to backhand his right cheek.

The guard who had just walked in from outside the door and slapped people with his slap only then said in a hard voice, "What's the matter?" Go outside and say, what is there to say here! ”

The two guards immediately walked out together. It seems that the two of them don't remember the two slaps just now.

All the maids at the table stopped talking, and their men moved again. And it's faster to clean up the tables.

After a qiē was cleaned up, the women were about to leave the dining room with their trays. The tall maidservant suddenly said in a deep voice: "Today we are just cleaning up the plates in the dining room, nothing else happened, do you remember?" ”

All the maids nodded when they heard this, and there was no longer a trace of relief on their faces.

The more things you have in your heart, the more you can't easily take it personally, and the secrets you learn inadvertently may not all be beneficial gains. The maidservants inadvertently learned the truth that Lin Shan can't drink alcohol today, although it is enough to overturn the gloomy argument of the mouthy maid just now, and prove that Lin Shan doesn't drink the wine made from old wine, and he doesn't dislike her, but who dares to say this?

This secret is like a double-edged sword, hanging over the heads of the servants from today, and I am afraid that only when they no longer wait for Lin Shan, and go thousands of miles away to cut off the connection, the threat of this sword will be forgotten for a long time.

The maidservants couldn't laugh, but the maidservant girl who showed a gloomy gaze in the laughter of everyone just now laughed at this time. She didn't smile very brightly, but the corners of her mouth moved like a twitch, and although she was smiling, the anger in her eyes seemed to be heavier.

It was only because she was at the back of all the maidservants that no one noticed the smile in the corner of her eyes that was worse than a curse.

The smile was only faint, and it was calm.
