- Liao Shi looked at Chen Jiu's eyes full of disbelief, of course he knew that with just a few words, it was impossible to destroy the glorious figure that this idiot had been obsessed with for more than ten years but couldn't, a good-looking novel:. After a short pause, Liao Shi changed the topic and said: "You are in the bureau, of course you can't check yourself, old man, I can see clearly, you have changed a lot from when you first came here three years ago." ”

Chen Jiu did not ask Liao Shi where she had changed, but only confessed and praised herself in an undoubted tone: "I no longer exercise the flattery of flattering guests, and revitalize the old Chen family's winery, I am much stronger than before." ”

Hearing her words, it was Liao Shi's turn to be stunned.

After a while, he finally threw out his finale move, and deliberately said in a cold voice: "You're not afraid, you have trained yourself to be a man's wife, but this madman doesn't want you anymore?" ”

Chen Jiu heard this, and sure enough, her face stiffened slightly, she didn't say anything more to respond to Liao Shi, but turned her head to look at Lin Shan, her eyes were slightly dark, and she seemed to ask silently: Will you not want me?

Lin Shan was also looking at it, her expression was a little distant, Chen Jiu couldn't read a word from it, and she was slightly lonely in her heart.

He had never been very good at pleasing women, and she knew that.

But she knew this, and at this moment, she still very much hoped that he could coax her at this time. Even if after today, he sues her again that it is fake.

After looking at each other like this for a moment, Chen Jiu shifted his gaze from that pair

She couldn't find the slightest hope in Wutan, and when she just moved her eyes to Liao Shi's face that was wrinkled like grapes after the sun, she heard the old man who suddenly became poisonous and said: "Otherwise, follow Uncle Liao, leave here, and quickly find a man from a good family who lives in a small household to marry." If you wait until the pearl is lost, no one will want it. ”

If the age of these two people is pulled back for another twenty years, the first half of Liao Shi's words has an atmosphere of a lewd uncle abducting a cute little sister.

But the actual situation at this time is that the uncle has risen to the level of a thin old man, and the cute little sister is not small at all. When I hear these kinds of words again, my reaction is not cute at all.

"I suddenly discovered that an elder like you is actually not worthy of my service with the sixty-year-old liquor essence of the old Chen family. Moreover. I suddenly wanted to take it back......" Chen Jiu's words came to the last word, and the syllables were deliberately elongated in the throat, with a hint of threat.

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 at a distance of three steps. 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 woman. You're not going to 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, feeling that Chen Jiu was bluffing her, so he shook his head slightly and said, "You will also say that." How can you really get your hands dirty? ”

"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 exclusive to her. But 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 after a moment of affection for the smile on his face, he finally moved his gaze to the face of the thin old man with a poisonous tongue, and Chen Jiu continued: "But. Although I am already very accurate in catching acupoints, Imperial Doctor Wu also said that acupuncture is a university question, if I change to someone with a very different physique from Brother Lin, let me catch acupoints again. I won't be able to do it 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 slightly drooping lips moved, and finally he didn't say anything in front of Chen Jiu, but turned around and walked out, and other book friends were reading:.

Walking out the door, I heard him repeat two words like 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 and said with a smile: "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 was good at using poison, and he also injured many people in his early years. 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 were a healer, no matter how many people I had healed, even if I missed once, I would have to overturn all my merits and have a bad name, and I would get tired of it. ”

"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. ”

"Do you remember the incident more than ten years ago, when 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 and said slowly: "After hearing you mention this once, I often think that if it weren't for the incident of the Empress Dowager of the previous dynasty, 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 seems. Not really. Lin Shan smiled indifferently, and then said: "Although the matter of the former Empress Dowager gave Uncle Liao a stained hat, the appearance of people's hearts and how history is rewritten depends on the people in the world. You've only heard me say a few words. But I 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 terms like 'old immortal' and 'old scourge' are things you've never used 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 said thoughtfully, "First, you're a street drinker in a small town. Eighty percent of these words were learned from the butcher's wife who sells haggis next door to your winery. 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 clenched his small fist and slapped Lin Shan's arm. But the punch is extremely light, the beating is a fake handle, but the coquettish posture is extremely vivid.

Lin Shan didn't avoid the powder punch at all, and he was still a little shaken, 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 fragile physique that had been consumed by a large dose of drugs for two years. will have some kind of delusion...... 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 in a 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. 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, and after thinking about it for a long time, they still can't come to a sentence......" Yan Xingzhi hesitated and held up the envelope with both hands and handed it to Lin Shan, "Uncle Lin, can you help the juniors take a look, if there is anything that 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: "You are not a candidate of the Academy of Sciences, and I am not the chief examiner, so I will never read the letter you wrote." ”

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 at this time, and did not say anything more, according to the words, he pressed his thumb on the slightly hot fire paint that was still relatively soft.

"Uncle Lin is very busy, but he still has to work for a letter from his juniors, which is really embarrassing for his juniors. 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's decision to take you back to his ancestor mountain gate seems to you to be just a sentence and a decision, but what he has to face is double pressure and danger. You also have to cherish yourself along the way. ”

"Thank you Uncle Lin for your kind words, and the younger generation will remember it." Yan Xingzhi waved his hand again, and then he was about to carry the strap of the medicine box.

At this time, Chen Jiu on the side suddenly called "Wait a minute", and then 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.

"This old wine is not easy to put away when the mud is opened. Bring it to the pharmacist, he loves this. Chen Jiu handed out the old gourd, and when Yan Xingzhi took it, she took off the blanket hanging on her shoulder. He 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 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 Shichao in the northbound team of Lin Shan. 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 opinion. At this time, whether or not to say a certain sentence will not constitute a changing interference for 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 the younger generations, so even if he decided on this matter in his heart. Before Lin Shan himself officially spoke, he was not good at saying anything.

Chen Jiu listened to Yan Xingzhi's slightly strange tone, and somewhat misunderstood his mood, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a brocade bag from behind his back, shook it slightly, and handed it over, and said with a smile: "Of course, we can't forget the Yan family's little master's favorite peach flesh and preserved fruit, a good-looking novel:." It's just that the vegetables and fruits here are sold very expensive. And I didn't necessarily have the silver to buy it, so I only made these four taels of preserved fruits, but it wasn't a small family of Aunt Jiu. ”

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 saw him off in front of him. During the three years he spent in the Northland, he never neglected to take care of him in two ways, and at this time, gratitude came to his heart, and his chest was almost full; But...... He finally held back what he was about to say......

Yan Xingzhi suddenly rushed towards the door.

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 with him, sitting opposite him, looking at each other, and talking together, she set up several rules of self-discipline for herself very early, among which one of the most frequently used was not to interrupt the man's silent thinking.

Lin Shan quickly detached his spirit from that short-term thought, after all, Yan Xingzhi's words only touched him slightly, and it didn't make much of a wave in his 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 the precious character of perseverance, right?" ”

"Yes......" Lin Shan replied with one word, and he seemed to realize that Chen Jiu's question might contain the storage of two people. One is Liao Shi, and the other 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 first step, he will also take the medicine box with him." The young master of the Yan family was afraid that he was going crazy. 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, and other book friends were reading:.

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 up outside the house because they were not allowed to disturb finally approached and asked the guards at the door. Only then did I know that the dining room was already empty.

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

The guard at the door heard that his voice was slightly cold. only said: "Please don't take Lord Lin's humility and gentleness as a presumptuous space, and not just any woman can walk so close to Lord Lin like Miss Chen." If you feel that you can't get over it here, I can help you ask Lord Lin for instructions on your behalf, and I believe he will not be reluctant to send someone to send 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. That guard is fierce. ”

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 for some trivial things, but you know that if he dislikes it. What will be the result? That is, Miss Chen's appearance, talent, and character, can be a caring person for Mr., and occasionally frolicking can be unscrupulous. ”

"Cut, that's your opinion, as I see it. Not so. Look at the tea cup that was almost glued to Lin Shansheng's hand, don't you see? Although the Chen family's wine is mellow, it attracts an endless stream of drunken buyers, but 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 she stayed in that building for a long time before Dongfeng Building changed the rules of the door plaque...... 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 servant girl also spoke, and said in a cold voice: "Why wait for that kind of test, a servant girl like you who likes to talk long and short, I'm afraid that I just need to send you back to the old General Mu's mansion in Kyoto, and a word of gaffe 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, and the backyard of this family can be described as the most complex and dangerous household among the nobles of Kyoto. 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 torture instrument can be carried around. It is not as conspicuous as the 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 years.

Chili oil is relatively simple, it is a red soup made by soaking chili peppers and peppercorns in boiling oil. It's just that when this kind of thing is used to punish the servant, it is usually made to lie on the back or swallow it 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 Ministry of Punishment, but I have to say that their intention to improve it is very ingenious, and it is a good novel:. Although the two condiments of chili pepper and Sichuan pepper are somewhat expensive. However, it is very popular on the Kyoto table, and it is well stocked and can be used at any time, and it can be afforded by the expenses of the Mu government. 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. As for whether the punished person really stole the master's valuables, or criticized the master, he may still have done nothing, but just blocked the intersection of the two princesses walking around the garden, and was dragged to the punishment, no one knows.

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 thin needle, and when the two hostesses of the Mu Mansion who have the status of 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 sharp long needles to the tofu strings in the hands of the servants and maids, but also worried that they would not be able to prick each other's fingers if they had experience. He 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 skewering tofu.

The eldest princess and the fourth princess of the previous dynasty got together to become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the identity of the royal family was lost, so they devoted themselves to the struggle for status in the family house. Of course, it can be said that it is 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 wine in the hall, which really angered the maids, and the maidservants were really a little curious, this long-tongued girl really came out of 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. Of course, she didn't want to be sent back there, her spiritual world was filled with fear at an extremely fast speed, and she didn't have time to think about all the good things in Lin Shan's residence, and all that was left in her mind was the horror of the Mu Mansion that was 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. ”

Halfway through her words, she glanced around at a few maidservants in the hall, and said again with a slightly slower face: "So we have discussed it, so we will stay in the Chen family's small winery, and we will go wherever the eldest sister goes." 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 entangle a woman in her life, if you can't find a good match, we would rather live a good life than marry a bad man, and there is no good result in suffering and suffering, that is to be ruined for a lifetime. ”

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 it a long time ago. If you want to keep a man's heart, you must first lock the man's stomach, and I will recite this sentence several times a day. ”

"Sister Jiu has been trying to make fruit wine these days, and I have tasted it. Maybe in the future, not only can you lock a man's heart with wine, but even the 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 servants, there is a certain color in the eyes of the mouthy servant girl that is sinking little by little, a good-looking novel:. 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 just then, a man suddenly walked in from outside the door. Her gaze met the squeal 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.

But. When he withdrew his eyes to look at the other maidservants in the hall, he thought that he understood that the gloomy look he had just witnessed might just be due to the jealousy between the women over something, so he didn't take this little matter to heart.

Among the several servant girls who were laughing in the hall, one of the servant girls noticed the guard who suddenly ran in a little bit faster than everyone else, obviously 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 servant girl disagreed: "It doesn't seem to have left the dining room through the front door." Probably went to the study. ”

Shan Liang shook his head and said, "No, I came from the study, and 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." ”

Shan Liang heard this. He shook his head again and again and said, "Lord Lin can't drink now......" In the middle of 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 that this matter must be kept secret, otherwise this weakness will be taken away by someone with a heart, but it will cause great harm.

The attendant standing outside the door suddenly walked in and slapped 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, as if they didn't remember the two slaps just now.
