Qingyang's room.

Qing Shu personally tied his belt for Qingyang, took a few steps back and looked at it, "Yes, very handsome young man." Putting on the light blue trumpet scholar's robe, she showed her younger brother Xiao Zhengtai's side at a glance, not to mention, plus it also brought out a little bookish atmosphere, so cute that I couldn't wait to bite his face. Of course, how could she be willing to bite her brother, so she looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, she quickly kissed him on the face.

Qingyang's face was red, but he smiled and bent his eyebrows, and glanced left and right like his sister, and then whispered to his sister to go down.

Qing Shu smiled and bent down.

Qingyang quickly kissed Qing Shu on the face, and then immediately took two steps back, covering his mouth and snickering, his little face flushed.

"Ahem...... someone coughed at the door.

Qingyang was frightened, and his eyes glanced at the door uneasily.

Qing Shu didn't look at the person who came in, just touched his brother's little face, withdrew his brother's attention, and said softly: "Listen more and talk less, follow Mr., don't be nervous, don't let the scholar leave your side, even if there is something, you must let a scholar follow you, remember?" ”

Qingyang replied with a serious face, "Remember." ”

Qingshu bent down and hugged him, "Come back early, my sister will make a fluffy snack for you to eat at noon, and it is guaranteed to be better than the cakes in Fushun Zhai." ”

As soon as he heard that there was something delicious, Qingyang immediately threw the embarrassment of being caught out of the clouds, "Really? ”

"Really. Go ahead, I guess Mr. Lu is waiting in front. Qing Shu smiled and nodded his nose.

Aren't you going to go out? Is it necessary to express Xiàn so inseparable? Zhou Boyan shook his head, beckoned to Qingyang, and walked out first.

After walking out of the road, Zhou Boyan motioned for Yuan Bao and Guan Mutou to go farther, and then asked Qingyang in a low voice, "What were you doing just now?" ”

Qingyang's weak-hearted eyes glanced left and right, and whispered, "I didn't do anything." That is, it was my sister who told Xiaoyang a few words. "Kissing his face is a little secret between him and his sister, so he doesn't want to tell it, not even his brother.

Looking at his watch, Zhou Boyan immediately affirmed that he was indeed not wrong just now, and tapped his head, "Do you remember what my brother said?" ”

Qingyang raised his little face and replied, "Remember." ”

Zhou Boyan ordered him with his hands behind his back, "Tell my brother about it." ”

Qingyang said very seriously, "Someone asked my sister why she didn't come, and I replied that my sister was sick and shouldn't go out." When someone asked about my sister, I said that my sister was very powerful and could beat away bad guys. Someone asked me about the shop, and I said I didn't know. ”

Zhou Boyan, "What about beans, bean paste buns or sauerkraut?" ”

Qingyang, "I said I don't know, but I love to eat bean paste buns." ”

Zhou Boyan snorted, thought of something, and instructed, "Not bad." Remember, when someone smiles at you, they don't necessarily like you and want to be nice to you, but they probably want to confuse you and get out of you when you're not defensive. If the third prince summons you alone, you have to hold on to Mr. Lu's sleeve, and you must insist that Mr. Lu accompany you. If the third prince is unhappy, don't be afraid, if you cry to him, he can't help you. ”

"Xiaoyang remembered." Qingyang has always been strict and takes the things that his sister or brother confesses seriously, so he takes them seriously to heart.

Zhou Boyan thought of the small actions that Qing Shu often made to Qingyang, and awkwardly touched Qingyang's little face, "Go!" Brother will protect you. ”

Qingyang said goodbye to Zhou Boyan like a little adult, and took the two scholars, Yuan Bao and Guan Mutou, to the front yard to meet Mr. Lu.

At this time, Qing Shu went back to the room, called Xiaoyu and Gu Lily of the Valley into the house, and after asking them to stand side by side, he also stood over and asked Xiaojuan, "Which of the two of them is more like me?" ”

Xiao Juan looked left and right for a while, "Miss, you are taller than them." ”

Qing Shu was slightly annoyed, thought about it and asked, "You don't need to look at the tall, according to you, can I wear the clothes of the two of them?" She didn't think about the sturdy Xiaojuan, it was really Xiaojuan's clothes that were too fat for her. Probably because she practices every day, she has a good appetite, she eats a lot of three meals a day, but she doesn't see any meat, and her body is still a little thinner.

"Miss, what are you going to do?" The three maids asked at the same time.

Qing Shu knocked the heads of the three of them one by one, "I want you to talk more." Forget it, there's no need to compare, in this way, the three of you bring your respective maid clothes over for me to see. ”

They were about to talk again, but Qing Shu stretched out his hand to fight, so the three of them shut up at the same time and obediently went to get their respective maids.

Qing Shu picked it up one by one and compared it to herself, and finally found that only Xiaojuan's clothes were attached to the length, but as she imagined, it was too fat for her. She thought to herself: What does it matter if you are fat, isn't there a belt to tie your waist, can it be done? So, she took off her clothes, put Xiaojuan's maid clothes on her body under the stunned eyes of the three maids, made her belt, and stood there, "It fits, doesn't it?" ”

Xiaojuan has always been straightforward, "Miss, you don't want to go out of the house as a maid, do you?" ”

Qing Shu looked at his face and hands, "Go, get some ash from the bottom of the pot." ”

Xiaoyu and Lily of the Valley glanced at each other and walked out together.

"If any of you dare to tell Mother Su, hum! Hum! Qing Shu threatened from behind them.

The little fish immediately wilted. She just wanted to report to Su's mother.

Coincidentally, Su's mother was coming over for something, and Qingshu forgot that she was still wearing Xiaojuan's clothes, so she let Su's mother in.

Su's mother looked at it, "Miss, what are you doing here?" ”

Qing Shu thought about the clothes and secretly scolded himself for being a fool. Since Su's mother has been alarmed, then she doesn't want to go out of the house today. Because, she is "sick", how can she go out and walk around. In the end, she accepted her fate and sent Xiaojuan and Gu Liling Lan out to watch the excitement, and by the way, she heard some news.

Qing Shu changed back into his clothes, took Xiaoyu to the kitchen, collected some needed materials and came back, and worked in the small kitchen in his courtyard for a while. The small kitchen in her courtyard has only cooked once so far, that is, she and Xiao Fu desperately came back from a tired coma in the past night, everyone was worried that she would wake up and have nothing to eat, so they cooked here and kept it warm on the fire. However, because the kang is burned, a large pot of hot water is lit every day.

Qingshu drove Xiaoyu out to be a female celebrity, and tinkered with it in the kitchen by herself.

First, make meat floss. In her previous life, she was very fond of eating meat floss bread or meat floss cake, and at the end of the day, she liked to eat meat floss on bread or cake. Just because she was greedy, she sold very little meat floss bread and meat floss cake, and she felt that she couldn't enjoy it, so she learned to make simple meat floss by herself.

Cut the tenderloin into strips along the texture, boil and blanch the peppercorns, remove and drain. Then put the meat into a boiling pot, add water, add green onion and ginger and boil, and cook until the meat is crushed as soon as it is pinched. Take out the water to control the dry, let it cool, then put it on a clean cutting board, roll it out with a rolling pin, and roll it into a minced meat state. After that, put the minced meat into a large bowl, add some salt, sugar, oil and soy sauce and stir well.

Qingshu cleaned the pot and began to burn a low heat, when the pot was hot, then pour a bowl of minced meat into the pot, stir-fry slowly, and control the heat from time to time, until the minced meat is dry and loose before stopping the fire. Qingshu felt that there was no danger of sticking to the pot if the fried meat floss was left in the pot, so he put it away and didn't put it out.

She took a small copper basin, beat two eggs into it, added some sugar, and beat it in one direction with chopsticks, until her arms were sore, and the egg liquid was not beaten, she continued to insist on beating until the egg liquid was out. Shaking off her sour arm, she took the small sieve she had prepared in advance, put some white flour in the sieve, and sifted the flour into the beaten egg mixture.

Thinking that the sifted flour is almost done, remove the sieve and take a clean spatula for stir-frying and toss the egg wash and flour from top to bottom until well mixed. She felt that the white flour added was a little less, so she sifted a little more into it and mixed it well.

Next, she brought four or five large wooden bowls, greased each of them, and poured the cake batter into each of them. The bowl should not be filled, and each bowl should be filled with about half a bowl of cake batter. As a result, she uses four wooden bowls for her cake batter.

There was already water in a pot next to it, and he sat in the steaming drawer. Qing Shu put the cake batter of the four wooden bowls on the steaming drawer, and shook it before putting it in, in order to eliminate the large bubbles that may be in the cake batter. Then she grabbed the meat floss from another pot and sprinkled it in two bowls. Then she brought two flat pans, and chose a bowl with meat floss and one without meat floss and fastened the flat pan. Finally, she put the lid on the pot and brought a low stool over to sit on the fire.

By the time she had been busy for most of the day and had made four bowl-shaped round cakes, it was already lunchtime. She thinks that the steamed cake with the top plate is more successful. She put four wooden bowls upside down on a clean board and went to lunch.

When he came back from eating, Qing Shu took away the upside-down bowl, and took a look at the cake that had been buckled out and cooled, and was quite satisfied.

Xiao Yu looked at it curiously for a long time, "Miss, what is this made of?" Is it bud grain noodles? The colors are a bit similar, but not very similar. What's that thing up there? It smells so good, and it looks good. ”

Qing Shu smiled mysteriously, chose a meat floss cake and cut it into thin slices and put it on a white porcelain plate, and pushed it to the side, "I'll give you a taste first." ”

Xiao Yu thanked Qingshu, pinched a piece of cake with two fingers, held it under it with one hand, took a small bite, and his eyes immediately lit up, "Miss, this snack is really delicious." ”

Qing Shu smiled evilly and said, "You are allowed to eat three slices, and when Xiaojuan and Lily of the Valley come back, you can only get one piece each." When the time comes, it doesn't matter if you are angry with them, Miss supports you. ”

Xiao Yu ate little by little with a cherished face, "It's no wonder that Xiaojuan can't cry angrily." ”

Qingshu himself pinched a piece and ate it, "Hmm, it tastes good." Don't be afraid, if she really wants to cry, I will say that there is no one who cries. She must have stopped crying right away. ”

At this time, Xiaoya came to report that the young master was back.

Qing Shu looked at the results of his busy work for most of the day, and smiled and bent his eyebrows, "Tell Young Master to wait in the room, I will bring delicious food over immediately." ”

Xiaoya was about to run to pass the word, but Qingshu stopped her, "Come, let's give you a delicious snack first." ”

Xiaoya's eyes lit up, she grinned, and forgot to close her mouth to hide the loss of her teeth.

Qing Shu selected seven or eight of the meat floss cakes that had been sliced and put them into a wooden bowl, and handed them to Xiaoya, "Share them with the wheat." As he spoke, he didn't forget to pinch a little bit from the cake and put it in the little girl's mouth.

The little girl ate the soft and fragrant dim se, her eyes were shining, she hugged the bowl of dim sum tightly, said "Miss Xie", smelled the fragrance of the dim sum in her arms, and ran to convey the words that the young lady brought to the young master.

Qingshu put away the rest of the meat floss, then cut the rest of the cake into thin slices, divided them into three plates, left one plate, and let the other two plates be served on a tray by Xiaoyu, and the master and servant went to Qingyang.

Seeing Qing Shu, Qing Yang, who was standing at the door and waiting, greeted him with a smile, "Sister, I saw the delicious dim sum made by my sister." Xiaoya gave me food, I didn't eat it, I want to eat what my sister gave me. ”

Qing Shu pinched his nose lightly, "Xiaoyang is the best." ”

When he entered the house, Qing Shu saw Zhou Boyan sitting flat at a glance, stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and beckoned Qingyang to hurry up and wash his hands.

Qingyang said that he had just washed his hands and reported, "It was Brother Yan who picked me up, and Mr. Lu said that someone invited him to drink, and he won't come back if he doesn't get drunk." ”

Qing Shu snorted, walked to the table with Xiaoyu, took an empty plate from the tray from Xiaoyu's end, and asked, "What did you eat at noon?" Where to eat? ”

Qingyang smiled embarrassedly, "I want to keep my stomach for the snacks made by my sister, so I didn't go to the restaurant with my husband." ”

Qing Shu felt funny, put down a pair of chopsticks, and put the sliced two plates of cakes on the table with his own hands, "Come, eat quickly, cushion your stomach, sister, let the kitchen cook a bowl of noodles for you, soon." ”

Qingyang agreed, and sat down happily, "Brother Yan will eat too." ”

Qing Shu nodded his nose, "Eat yours, he is indispensable." Then he instructed Xiao Yu, "Go and get a plate and chopsticks." "I didn't know that Zhou Boyan was also there, so naturally I didn't prepare him.

Qingyang didn't move the chopsticks, just smelled the fragrance of the dim sum and said, "It's really fragrant." ”

Qing Shu looked at him with a smile, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Qingyang said, "Don't worry, I want to eat with Brother Yan." ”

Zhou Boyan got up from his seat, walked to the opposite side of Qingyang and sat down, "Brother has had lunch, don't worry." You didn't eat lunch, hurry up. ”

After Qingshu instructed Yuanbao to make tea and pour water for them, he went to the kitchen by himself.

Waiting for Xiaoyu to send the plate and chopsticks over, Qingyang first took a piece of dim sum and put it on the plate in front of Zhou Boyan, "Brother eat." ”

Zhou Boyan didn't shirk, picked up chopsticks and ate a piece of dim sum that Qingyang sandwiched for him.

Qingyang just took it by himself and ate it, tasted the sweet taste, immediately smiled and squinted, said vaguely, "It's delicious", and ate it in a big gulp.

When Zhou Boyan took the first bite and tasted the taste, his eyes flashed, and he was stunned for a moment. However, he covered it up well, and Qingyang didn't notice it. Seeing that a plate of dim sum was about to bottom, he pushed the water glass over, "Don't burn your mouth, drink saliva." ”

Qingyang, who was happily eating, agreed vaguely, put down his chopsticks, took a sip of water from the teacup, put down the cup and quickly buried his head in eating again.

Zhou Boyan smiled and pushed aside a plate of dim sum that had not been touched, "Keep this and eat it slowly, now you have to keep your stomach to eat noodles." ”

Qingyang was a little disappointed, but obediently agreed.

"In the afternoon, Mr. Lu is not here, and my brother will take you to practice archery."

Qingyang's little disappointment immediately dissipated, "Thank you, brother." ”

Zhou Boyan was a good talker, and after Qingyang had eaten shredded meat noodles and rested for two quarters of an hour, he immediately called Qingyang to shoot arrows. Because they did not leave the house, they did not let the guards follow. Zhou Boyan only asked Gu Shishi to stand in a safe place opposite to pick up arrows for them.

Zhou Boyan corrected Qingyang's posture of bending his bow and pulling arrows, and asked, "Did the third prince want to summon you alone?" ”

Qingyang seriously aimed at the target, and replied distractedly, "Yes." I pretended to be afraid and grabbed Mr. Lu's sleeve according to what my brother taught, Mr. Lu said that I was timid, and the third prince said that it was okay and asked me to come forward and speak. I couldn't cry at once, so I said I wanted to pee. Mr. Lu blew his beard and glared at me, and I burst into tears. With that, he smiled sheepishly.

At that time, he could have said that he wanted to go to the toilet, but Brother Yan said that the more unruly he talked to the third prince, the better, so that the third prince would no longer take care of him, and he and his sister would be safe. So, he was in a hurry and didn't want to say that he wanted to go to the toilet, so he peed out of his mouth.

Zhou Boyan was stunned for a moment, but thinking of the expression that the third prince would have, he curled the corners of his mouth, "Well, the table is good." ”

"But Mr. Lu was very angry, came out of the third prince, and kept glaring at people." He whispered.

"My brother will explain to Mr. that Mr. will not glare at you anymore." Zhou Boyan gave him a reassurance.

Qingyang shot an arrow, which missed a bit, but it hit the target. He was slightly annoyed, pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his back, and began to aim again, "Yuan Bao said, he heard the eunuch and Lord Shaoqing who were waiting beside the third prince talking, saying that the third prince was going to our restaurant tomorrow to eat. ”

"Does your sister know?"

"I told my sister, and my sister said don't care, pretend not to know, just treat it like an ordinary guest."

"What if someone is deliberately looking for trouble?"

"My sister said it doesn't matter, no matter who is looking for trouble, my brother will take care of me." After speaking, Qingyang glanced at Zhou Boyan with admiration.

Zhou Boyan was a little crying and laughing, "Well, my brother is around." "That's not bad, there are some things that have to be clarified sooner or later. But why would she be so comfortable letting him help and contribute? What did she know?

Qingyang didn't know Zhou Boyan's thoughts, so he shot an arrow out, hit the target, and immediately cheered happily.

Before curfew at night, Mr. Lu was drunkenly picked up by Li Dalang in a horse-drawn carriage. Gu Yuanhe wanted to help him get off the carriage, but he didn't let people help him, so he had to get down by himself, and he almost fell off the carriage after tossing. Fortunately, Gu Yuanhe was quick and reacted quickly, and hugged him in time when he fell.

The two Gu Yuanhe brothers sent Mr. Lu back to the room and gave Mr. Lu a freshly boiled decanting soup from the kitchen. Qingyang was uneasy to guard on the side, wanting to undress Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu refused, his eyes couldn't be opened, and his mouth was still slurred and he was talking about bringing wine.

In the end, it was Gu Yuanhe and Gu Shishi who pressed him and took off his coat. Yuan Bao came in with foot-washing water, not knowing how to wash the feet of the drunken gentleman.

Zhou Boyan came in with a calm face, "You all go back and rest, I'll come." After that, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, and forcibly pulled Mr. Lu who was crooked on the kang, "Wash your feet." ”

Mr. Lu reluctantly opened his eyes and said with his tongue open, "Oh, it's Xiao Yanyan!" Sir, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for your father, I'm sorry for you......"

Zhou Boyan drove out all the stunned people, leaving only Gu Shishi by his side, and he supported Mr. Lu, let Mr. Lu sit on the edge of the kang, and told Gu Shishi to quickly wash the drunkard's feet.

Gu Shishi brought the foot-washing water to the edge of the kang, tore off the socks on Mr. Lu's feet, and pressed Mr. Lu's feet into the basin to wash them.

Smelling the smell of wine all over his body, Zhou Boyan frowned tightly, and said duplicitously: "Why don't you just drink to death, what are you going to do when you come back?" Shall we collect your body? ”

Mr. Lu scolded the stinky boy indistinctly, stopped talking, and snored.

While wiping Mr. Lu's feet, Gu Shi shook his head and muttered: "You can fall asleep here, I guess I drank at least two jars of wine." ”

After placing the dead person in the quilt, Zhou Boyan asked Gu Shishi to fill up the oil of the oil lamp, and asked him to bring a pot of hot water, so that Gu Shishi went to sleep, and he said that he would guard Mr. Lu.

In the middle of the night, Mr. Lu woke up thirsty and shouted for water.

Zhou Boyan, who was playing against himself under the lamp, probed the temperature of the kettle, and it was already cold. He thought that he could only do it, so he poured a glass of water, brought it to the kang, and said, "Sit up and drink." ”

Mr. Lu struggled a few times and couldn't get up, but the person seemed to be a little sober, and scolded: "Stinky boy, can't you come up and help Mr.?" ”

Zhou Boyan scolded "You have a lot to do", put the water cup aside, the person had already gone to the kang, helped Mr. Lu to sit up, and then handed the water over.

Mr. Lu took the teacup in both hands and drank it after a few clicks, and handed the empty cup out, "Too little, come again." ”

After drinking three glasses of water in a row, he waved his hand and said no. At this time, he was already sober for seven or eight minutes, and began to curse, "A group of eight lambs, pouring Mr. to death, trying to set Mr.'s words, there is no good thing." Chen Yixun's old fox, when he saw that the situation was wrong, immediately pretended to be drunk and fell on the table and couldn't get up. A group of eight lambs, waiting, Mr. won't let you cry dad and call your mother for mercy, Mr. is not surnamed Lu. ”

Zhou Boyan took a piece of clothing and put it on him, "What do they want to know?" ”

This question made Mr. Lu blow up his hair at once, pointed at his nose and scolded, "Stinky boy, your wings are stiff, right?" You don't take Mr. seriously, do you? Such a big thing, you actually hide it from Mr. As for the ring ruler, bring the gentleman's ring ruler. ”

Zhou Boyan saw that he came back to life, ignored him, walked back to the table and sat down, and continued to play chess.

Mr. Lu almost crooked his nose in anger, "Stinky boy, say, which young lady are you talking about?" You don't mention such a big thing as engagement, and even Mr. hides it, you are really good. ”

Zhou Boyan continued to play his own chess as if he hadn't heard it.

Mr. Lu said angrily, "You kid, you're good. Zhou Shangshu's bastard said to your young lady, you said don't want it, push it. The queen pointed out to your young lady, and if you said you didn't want it, you didn't want it, so you pushed it back. You can bear it, you are so good, and finally I ran to tell the emperor that I fell in love with a young lady from a small family, and said that she would not marry in this life. You can do it! Tell me honestly, which lady do you have a crush? ”

Zhou Boyan felt that the princes and grandsons of Da'an were too idle, and the gossip was all gossip to Kangxi Town. "The third prince poured you wine, just to know which lady I fancied?" He has done it so obviously, these people can't see clearly, is it because they are calculating too much every day, and simple things are also complicated! Compared with these people with twisted bellies, it was the rough and leafy Gu Ruixing who was the first to discover the clues.

Mr. Lu, "This is just one of them. ”

"Let's talk about the second and third."

"Ah Yan, you must protect Shu Yatou and Yang Boy."

"Huh?"

"If the guess is correct, Sinong Temple Shaoqing will ask to marry Shu Yatou for his youngest son who has no learning and no skills. It must have been the instructions of the third prince behind this matter, otherwise he would have no reason to think like this. Speaking of this, Mr. Lu rubbed the corners of his forehead, "At a young age, he has become a virtuous person with his mother, relying on his status as a prince to play tricks and tricks everywhere, and he refuses to live in peace for a moment, and he must make something to toss and toss." According to Mr., General Bu wrote a letter requesting the old man to return to his hometown, and nine times out of ten it was related to him. ”

One of Zhou Boyan's sons said, "Naturally, it has something to do with him." However, not only did the old man not hate him, but he was also very grateful to him. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Wouldn't it be nice to be able to safely withdraw from the court and enjoy your old age in peace?"

Mr. Lu lay back in the quilt, "Someone has moved his mind and wants to send Yang Boy to the Royal Academy, you can watch and deal with it." Then he turned over and said, "Sleep, sleep, what kind of chess are you playing in the middle of the night?" ”

Zhou Boyan played chess by himself. Since ancient times, the master has been high, and the old man has been riding horses all his life, so he will naturally see it thoroughly and understand the truth of retreating bravely from the rapids. In the past two years, the war on the frontier has decreased slightly, and the young generation has produced a large number of talents. Then, he immediately swept Li Haitang, who was arranged by the three princes to marry into the Bufu, out of the house, and showed the emperor that the Bufu was only loyal to the monarch, and the others would never let go of their attitude.

Loyal to the monarch, and not afraid of offending the prince, how many people in the world dare to do this? The emperor didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied with the old man's style, and his attitude towards the three princes became much colder.

The third prince is not stupid, so he naturally feels it, and in order to save something, he has a lot more low-key, and he will not miss any opportunity to express himself. Just like this incident, originally only two agricultural officials from Sinong Temple would have been sent over, and not many people would know about it. But the third prince inserted a stick from it, and Mao recommended himself to embark on this trip, making the unpublicized early wheat known to the whole court, and leaving Beijing to the south in the praise of the courtiers, all the way to this place.

Perhaps the third prince thought it was done beautifully. But in fact, it's the opposite.

Originally, the emperor and Zhou Boyan reached an agreement that they would wait until the early wheat was ripe and harvested, first, to see the yield of the early wheat, and second, to see if the next crop could be cultivated normally, and then decide whether to publicize the matter.

Unexpectedly, the third prince publicized the things he was not sure of, which made the whole capital boiling. The emperor endured this breath and sent the three princes out. If this early wheat can be harvested, it will not affect the normal farming, otherwise, waiting for the three princes will never be a reward.

Zhou Boyan felt like a mirror in his heart, compared with the eldest prince and the second prince, the third prince is really not enough to see. The emperor is young, and it is not a problem to sit on the throne for another thirty years. The wise prince will only keep his head in obscurity and quietly accumulate power, instead of showing his ambitions early and extending his hand to the emperor's ministers under the emperor's nose.

Zhou Boyan was tired of such a fight, but he had to watch such a fight. Sometimes he sympathized with the emperor very much, and sat alone on that high seat, seemingly able to look at him and be the only one. But in fact, the emperor also has mortal troubles, and there are many helplessness. But in front of Jiangshan Sheji, those troubles and helplessness, the emperor can only put them aside, only when there is no one can pick up the troubles of mortals, miss such a person, and recall some cherished but lost people and things.

He dropped the last piece and gave himself an army, and then he unhurriedly collected the chess pieces and said to the lying man: "I went to sleep." Seeing that the lying man did not respond at all, he closed the door and went out, returning to his room.

Gu Shishi was napping on the table outside, and when he heard the movement, he quickly stood up and wiped the suspicious liquid from the corner of his mouth, "Childe, are you back?" Do you want to drink water? ”

"No, go back and sleep yours." When the words fell, the man had already walked inside.

Gu Shishi went over to cover the door, walked into the ear room, and fell asleep.

The next day was cloudy, and I didn't see the sun in the morning, but it didn't rain. It is often said that the weather affects the mood, and there is some truth to it. Qingshu's mood today is not very comfortable, and he is happy. Therefore, when the first report came to the door, when a matchmaker came to the door, Qingshu's face turned black all of a sudden. When I saw the matchmaker and heard that the matchmaker said that it was a certain amazing official who wanted to marry her Gu Qingshu as the seventh concubine, Qingshu's expression could only be described as dark clouds.

The matchmaker's mouth moved, and she talked about the benefits of being a concubine, and said that a girl like Qingshu who is famous and always likes to show her head is not easy to marry, and she can't let go of such a good opportunity.

Qing Shu didn't talk nonsense with the matchmaker, and coldly ordered, "Hit out." ”

Not long after, the matchmaker with heavy makeup was thrown out of the house by Xiaojuan.

The matchmaker was aggrieved, sat on the ground and cried for the sky.

Xiao Juan saw that this person dared not leave, and shouted "Xiao Wang".

I saw a half-sized yellow dog running out of the corner gate.

Xiao Juan pointed at the matchmaker, "Xiao Wang, go on, bite her." ”

The yellow dog got the order, barked and swished and rushed over.

The matchmaker shouted in fright, got up with her hands and feet, and ran faster than a rabbit.

Xiao Juan shouted, "Xiao Wang, come back." ”

The yellow dog chasing after the matchmaker immediately braked sharply, turned around and ran back, wagging his tail at Xiaojuan, and holding a piece of cloth in his mouth, which was the same as the clothes on the matchmaker's body.

Xiaojuan praised a good example, untied the purse she was wearing, took out a small piece of candy, squatted down and put it on the ground. The yellow dog immediately discarded the cloth in his mouth and picked up the candy on the ground to eat.

When Cai Tieniu saw it, he quickly cleared the cloth and counted Xiaojuan, "You can't get used to it like this anymore, people can't eat sugar, it's good for you to feed it from time to time." ”

Xiaojuan shrunk her neck and went back to her life.

Cai Tieniu shook his head and shouted to go back.

The yellow dog immediately ran back to the kennel next to the porter and lay down. Cai Tieniu followed and tied the rope. He has kept this dog for less than two months, he is very docile, and he is also very good at guarding the home. Every morning and evening he would release the rope and let it run merrily, and the rest of the time he would tie it. Just now he saw that the rope of the bolt was entangled, so he opened it and wanted to re-bolt it, but he didn't expect Xiaojuan to take the opportunity to call it over to scare people.

It's only been half an hour since this happened, and another matchmaker came. It is said that there is a big family that has been officials for generations in Dexian County, and there is a man in his clan who lost his wife in his early years, and has a son and a daughter under his knees, and now he wants to marry a woman with both ability and political integrity.

Qing Shu has no opinion on the lifting master, and even more so on that the lifting master wants to continue the strings, but this lifting master hit the idea on the head of a fifteen-year-old girl, and she has a lot of opinions. However, for the sake of the matchmaker's words, she softly refused, "The younger brother in the family is still young, and he will not consider marrying a wife until he can't hold up the door." ”

The matchmaker said a few words and left.

Qing Shu was depressed, and always felt that something was wrong, so he called Su's mother to explain a few words. Su's mother understood, went to the kitchen and took ten morning steamed bean paste in a packing basket, and went out through the corner door.

Zhou Boyan was practicing calligraphy, and Gu Shishi rushed in, "Childe, childe, it's not good." ”

Zhou Boyan was unmoved and concentrated on practicing calligraphy.

Gu Shishi didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he just talked about himself, "There are two matchmakers before and after, both of whom are matchmakers for Miss Gu. ”

Zhou Boyan's hand holding the pen paused, and immediately wrote a broken word.

"It's infuriating. The matchmaker in front wants Miss Gu to be a concubine, and the matchmaker in the back wants Miss Gu to be a continuation. Childe, are you angry? ”

Zhou Boyan stared at the bad words and was silent.

Gu Shishi suddenly became happy again, "Childe, Xiaojuan's girl is really fierce, the matchmaker in front of her was beaten out by Xiaojuan, and she also let the dog chase and bite, so that the dog bit off the corner of the matchmaker's skirt." The one in the back, but I didn't fight, and I sent it out. ”

Zhou Boyan put down his pen, "Go to the front, please ask Young Master Qingyang to come here." ”

"Young Master Gu hasn't gotten out of school yet, and Mr. Lu said that today he will make up for what he fell yesterday, and no one should disturb him."

Zhou Boyan frowned, but soon stretched out again. "Gu Ruixing is almost here, you go to the gate of the mansion and wait, and bring it to see me as soon as you arrive."

Gu Shishi was ordered to withdraw, and after a short time, he brought Gu Ruixing over.

Gu Ruixing came in from outside, not in a hurry to enter the room, but kept sniffing, "What is it, so fragrant?" ”

Gu Shi touched the back of his head, "Why didn't the little one smell it?" ”

Gu Ruixing shook his head, "Your nose is not good." As he spoke, he walked into the room, sniffed twice, and immediately ran to the kang table, pinched a piece of dim sum from the plate at the corner of the table and stuffed it into his mouth, "Well, it's delicious, it's what I'm looking for." ”

Gu Shishi immediately rushed over and hugged half a plate of dim sum and stepped back, "This is the dim sum that Miss Gu made for her son, no one can grab it." ”

Gu Ruixing slapped the table, "Boy, you've lost your temper, aren't you?" Bring. Before the housewife entered the door, you ......" coughed, and immediately made him swallow the rest of the words in his stomach. He smiled wryly, "My brother is hungry, what's wrong with eating a few pieces?" It's not a woman, why be so stingy! ”

Zhou Boyan said lightly: "Give him food." ”

Gu Shi guarded the plate tightly, "No, this is what Shi finally asked Miss Gu for." ”

Zhou Boyan felt a headache, "You and him share half of it." ”

So, one sat opposite Zhou Boyan, and the other squatted on the ground, glaring at each other while stuffing their respective snacks into their mouths.

Zhou Boyan resisted the urge to beat people, and waited for the two to finish eating before giving orders.

After a while, people found that there were two rows of ten guards with knives standing in front of the gate of the ancient mansion. If anyone approached the gate of the ancient mansion, especially the women, the guards with knives would shout with cold faces and ask what they were doing, and the frightened women would run away. But for half an hour, even the person who passed by the gate of the ancient mansion had to hide far away, and he ran over, not daring to stop.

Su's mother came back from outside and looked puzzled when she saw the cold-faced guards suddenly appearing in front of the mansion. However, when you see the face of one of them, you already know it. She remembered this man, who had been with Gu Ruixing last time.

Su's mother carried the basket and walked in the direction of the house gate. One of the guards was about to scold, but one of the people next to him pulled and shook his head. Mother Su didn't notice this, walked in through the corner door, put down the basket and went to Qingshu to talk back.

Qing Shu asked Su's mother to sit down before asking, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”

"Miss, Mrs. Cheng also said that this thing is strange. said that there were rumors in the town yesterday afternoon, and they were all talking about Miss's marriage, saying that Miss didn't know which one she would marry. Mrs. Cheng felt strange and asked the women who were talking. Unexpectedly, the women said that there was a Taoist priest who gave the order to the young lady. "Speaking of which, Su's mother's face is very bad." The one who was criticized was really angry. Miss, don't listen. ”

Qing Shu was stunned, "The Taoist priest gave me an order?" When did I get the Taoist priest to give the order? ”

Su's mother was also annoyed, "It's just that Miss didn't ask the Taoist priest to approve her life at all." I don't know which bad person actually made up such a rumor. ”

Qing Shu asked: "What does that so-called approval say?" ”
