She had already walked in front of this summer, with her back to Yan Shifan, her big eyes like a fawn revealing unhindered and panicked. Looking at this maid this summer, she realizes that any secret she sees through in her may be a reason for her to be punished heavily.

Under the half-covered sleeves of her clothes, I saw a few shallow marks on her white wrists this summer, including the inside of her wrists, and her hands had been tied separately. If she can take off her clothes, I believe there are more traces of her body this summer, which can show what kind of torture she has suffered.

But right now, just looking into her eyes, this summer can't even bear to ask her, let alone make any requests, so he only holds her hand, touches it carefully in the palm and fingers, and then picks it up and sniffs it.

"How? What do you see? Yan Shifan asked.

This summer took a deep breath, and had already made up her mind in her heart, and said, "This girl is good at tea ceremony, and she does a little less embroidery and tailoring. Recently, she may have done something wrong, perhaps by overturning the stove or smashing a precious tea bowl, and has been punished. Also, the window of the cabin where she lived was probably to the right of the dresser...... or maybe her right hand was injured, which she didn't say this summer, including the punishment she deliberately said wrong.

Yan Shifan listened, let the maid retreat, and then asked with interest: "Tell me, how did you see it?" ”

"The shape of the hand will be different depending on what you do, especially the position of the callus on the palm and the cocoon on the finger." This summer, he said truthfully, "Embroidery girls often use needles, and there will be a layer of hard calluses on the fingertips of their thumbs and index fingers, which is the same as the calluses on the hands of people who practice martial arts." The girl didn't have a hard callus on her thumb and forefinger, so I could tell she didn't use needles and threads. ”

"Good at the tea ceremony?"

"There was a little water on her sleeve, and the color could tell it was tea; The back of her hand was burned and slightly reddened, of course, this may have been burned when she was helping in the stove, so I sniffed her hand carefully, and there was a faint smell of tea on her hand, not the smell of oily onions and garlic between the stove. ”

Yan Shifan's expression seemed to be quite satisfied, and he nodded and said, "You don't need to ask about being punished, it must be because of the scars on her wrists." ”

The maid swallowed nervously in her throat when Yan Shifan spoke of the "scar on her wrist", and this summer was sure that under her thin spring shirt, every hair stood on end in panic.

"Your Excellency is wise." This summer said respectfully.

"Tell me how you know that the window is on the right side of the dresser." Yan Shifan handed the tea bowl to the side, and the maid hurriedly bowed down to take it.

"The girl's right sideburns are neatly brushed and more neat than the left sideburns, which often happens this season when she dresses up in the daylight outside the window."

Yan Shifan looked at her, and his gaze could almost be regarded as approving: "Because they use the sunlight to dress up, I am negligent in this." ”

Lu Yi listened quietly on the side, his eyes only occasionally fell on this summer, and he didn't seem to be very interested.

"Yan Yuan, this time I cooperated with the six doors to handle the case, and with this little girl by my side, it must be very interesting." Yan Shifan turned to Lu Yi and said with a smile.

Lu Yi smiled slightly: "It's okay, but sometimes it's very troublesome." ”

"Women, they should be troublesome, and if they don't bother, they won't be called women." Yan Shifan laughed and waved his hand to signal that he could go back and sit down this summer. When he laughs, the laughter causes the vibration of his chest, and the voice is muffled, making people feel that there is something hidden in his heart besides laughter.

"I'm not used to drinking snow wine in Yangzhou, I brought several jars from the capital, Yan Yuan, you drink ...... usually" Without waiting for Lu Yi to answer, Yan Shifan's fingers tapped a few times on the armrest, and then said, "Qiu Lubai, right?" ”

"Adults have a good memory."

Although Lu Yi had a smile in his tone, this summer heard that it was very different from his usual jokes, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him.

"Where's the little girl?" Yan Shifan's eyes fell on this summer again, "Yang Chengwan is a stereotyped person, probably you are not allowed to drink outside, right?" ”

He even knew the head, and this summer's heart was slightly cold, and he said: "I am not good at drinking, please forgive me." ”

Yan Shifan laughed again: "Not long ago, on the second floor of the waterfront of the Qifen Pavilion, little girl, you and the young gang leader of the Wu'an Gang drank almost two jars of snow wine. ”

Seven-point pavilion, waterfront ...... This summer remembered the "love parting" I saw that night, my face changed, and I didn't know how to answer his words.

Yan Shifan had already turned to Lu Yi and said with a smile: "You have to get used to their little tricks, at the beginning they always said that they were not good at drinking, and then, you had to use two whole jars to get her drunk." ”

Lu Yi smiled and said, "It's still an adult." ”

With Yan Shifan's casual order, more objects were brought up by the maids, but in a moment, the originally empty room with only curtains became full. The candlesticks and screen curtains are all of the highest quality, needless to say, the small table in front of Lu Yi this summer is actually made of ivory, and there is a jade wine vessel on it, which is crystal clear and has a warm luster......

Beauty is beautiful, but it's too extravagant. This summer sighed secretly, turned his head and saw the copper Han pot on the side, with large peach blossoms inserted inside, and the petals were delicate, showing that they were freshly picked and folded.

The peach petals were pink and lovely, and she looked at her eyes, but what she thought about was the women who were abandoned in the peach blossom forest.

The maid served the fruit first, and the celadon of the Xuande kiln was filled with the cherries produced by the Linggu Temple, all of which were full of red.

Yan Shifan took the cherry handle and put the cherry in his mouth, the cherry had not yet been chewed and swallowed, and then he took a sip of wine from the cup, the sweet and sour of the cherry was mixed with the spicy of the wine, and he was not in a hurry to swallow it, let them slowly linger on the tip of his tongue, taste it carefully, and swallow it slowly after half an hour.

"The case of Jiangnan River repair, can you have eyebrows?" He dropped the cherry pit and asked casually.

I don't know if he asked whether he was himself or Lu Yi, but he didn't speak rashly this summer.

"But do you want to help?" Lu Yi didn't answer directly, but asked with a smile.

How could Yan Shifan help?! This summer glanced at Lu Yi in surprise, and saw that he was also holding a wine glass in his hand, leaning slightly and leaning back, his expression was quite lazy, but it was extremely unfamiliar.

Yan Shifan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, when Zhou Xian was already in charge of the household department in the capital, he didn't scold me with a lot of excerpts. I ignore him, and he continues to scold; I still ignore him, and he scolds; Later, I couldn't help it, so I simply recommended him to be the Ministry of Works. ”

Hearing this, this summer I wondered if I had heard it wrong, Yan Shifan would actually recommend an official who tirelessly scolded him, and it was also a fatty errand like the Ministry of Industry.

Lu Yi was not surprised, and said with a faint smile: "If the humble position is not wrong, it is also the intention of the adult to let him be in charge of repairing the river." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shifan smiled on his face, like a child remembering his favorite game, with a little excitement, he said to Lu Yi: "Do you know what he said to me, he said that he would use a lot of money for repairing the river on the river, hahaha......"

Thinking about Zhou Xianji's rotting corpse this summer, she saw that Lu Yi was also laughing, but she couldn't laugh, she didn't know what was so funny about Lu Dao's words.

"For fear that the silver would be deducted layer by layer when it was allocated, he took the silver directly in the capital and paid for the 100,000 taels of river repair money to be transported to Yangzhou." Yan Shifan thought back, still with a smile on his face, "I arranged someone on the boat and wanted to invite him to gamble, but even if he has some determination, I still admire him." It's just that when he came to Yangzhou and saw the beauty, he really couldn't walk, but it's a pity......"

It turned out that Zhou Xian had stepped on Yan Shifan's design step by step, and secretly thought to himself this summer: The Wu'an Gang is responsible for escorting the river repair money, so in this way, the person who wants to lead Zhou Xian to gamble money on the boat is likely to be A Rui.

Lu Yi shook his head and said: "It's not a pity, people like Zhou Xianji, who think that his sleeves are clean, and everyone else is dirty." When it was his turn, he couldn't hold it himself, and he was the most disgusting. ”

"That's right! If he really holds on to it, I respect him as a character. Yan Shifan sighed and said, "It's a pity, he can't control it with only the beauty trick, and I haven't used a few methods later, it's a pity." ”

There are still a few ways to do it - this summer shuddered when he heard it, thinking about it, Zhou Xian was no longer interested in Zhai Lanye, and in the future, Yan Shifan didn't know what else to use to deal with him.

For Yan Shifan, Zhou Xian was like a bird in a cage, teased by him at will until he died in the cage.

"Is there a way?" Lu Yi seemed interested.

"The eight sufferings of Buddhism, birth, old age, sickness, death, love and parting, resentment and hatred, and can't ask for ......" Yan Shifan regretfully fiddled with the pairs of cherries in his hand, "I have to take turns to do it again to be fun enough, but unfortunately, he can't stand it until he loves to part." ”

Love parting, love parting...... This summer suddenly realized that he deliberately let her see love and parting a few times, in fact, he was reminding her.

Why prompt her? Is it because you think it's fun?

Or, in his eyes, he is the same as Zhou Xian, and he is also a game doll that he spends his days chatting about?

"Little girl......" Yan Shifan called her.

This summer came out of his trance, woke up suddenly, looked at him and said respectfully, "What do you command?" ”

Yan Shifan tilted his head slightly, his immovable eyes looked at her fixedly, and asked Youyou, "Why didn't you tell the truth?" ”

"I, no, how dare I deceive my lords." I don't know what he means this summer.

"You said just now that her left sideburns are not as neatly combed as her right sideburns, because the window is on the right, in fact, there is another reason, you didn't say it...... She had a wound on her right hand. ”

As he spoke, Yan Shifan stretched out his hand and gently dragged the maid, and with a little force, the maid's entire right sleeve fell off at the shoulder, and on the snow-white shoulder, two hideous scarlet whip marks were clearly visible.

The back of the finger gently brushed the delicate skin, and the skin trembled a small pimple, and this summer gritted the root of his teeth, without looking at the maid's expression, and knowing the humiliation she had suffered.

"Although you are a girl, as a catcher of six doors, you don't know the joy of this kind of room, right?" Yan Shifan's tone rose, and there was a teasing meaning in his eyes, he picked up the maid's hand and gently stroked it on the scar on his wrist.

"This ...... Humble and lonely, please forgive your sins. ”

This summer knew what his so-called pleasure in the room was, but he had to press his disgust and answer respectfully.

Lu Yi didn't interject, leaned his neck and drank the wine in the cup, and the maid next to him hurriedly stepped forward to fill it for him.

"It's okay, you're still a little girl...... Actually, it's not small," Yan Shifan smiled, turned around and said to Lu Yi, "You can train it well." ”

This summer heard Lu Yi smile and didn't answer.

This seat, from the sunk in the west to the moon in the middle of the sky, there is no sign of the end. It was not until today that he saw the rumored amount of Yan Shifan's wine this summer, and after accumulating one jar after another, he drank at least six or seven jars of wine, which was simply a wine vat. Lu Yi didn't drink as much as him, but he probably drank two or three jars of wine, watching Kabuki sing and dance in front of him, and his expression was leisurely relaxed.

As he drank more and more, although his words were still quite organized, his demeanor became more and more debtuous, and the maid was dragged into his arms and careless.

This summer, I was sitting on pins and needles in the banquet, knowing that this person could not be offended, but I couldn't help but get up and said: "I still have official duties in my humble position, so I will leave first, and please bear with me." ”

"Someone!" Yan Shifan instructed drunkenly, "Take the little girl to the cabin to rest." ”

"My lord, the ...... of the lowly position"

Before he could finish his words this summer, he was interrupted by Yan Shifan: "You are only a six-door catcher, how can you have my Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry for official business?" Hugh talked about official business in front of me, and tonight, you two will rest on the boat, and you will go away tomorrow morning, Hugh has swept away my interest. ”

“……”

She looked at Lu Yi, who smiled leisurely and said, "Lord Yan's kindness, you don't know how to lift." ”

Even he said so, this summer's teeth tightened, although reluctantly, but still respectfully: "Thank you, sir, retire from your humble position." ”

The author has something to say: Anyway, I have eaten a lot of cherries recently, which are really sweet! (So don't have a psychological shadow, hehehe)
