"Huh? Miss, don't you want to ......" Jin Zhi hurriedly covered her lips with her hands, Nan Shiyu nodded to her, Jin Zhi thought the same as her, "Yes, the slave understands, this time it will make the wicked person who secretly swallowed the lady's dowry suffer a little." ”

Nan Shiyu gently twisted the twist on the teapot, fanning the white mist floating in the air, "Where is it enough to suffer a little?" It's time for him to pay off his debts, you go. ”

The golden branch saluted and trotted out the door. Nan Shiyu looked at her departing back and sighed, no wonder Jin Zhi hated the housekeeper so much, when the Zhao family was still in the capital, the housekeeper looked down on the Zhao family's background and made things difficult everywhere.

It was night, Nanling was still in the study to deal with official business, the crisp knock on the door poured into his ears, before Nanling opened his mouth to agree, Lan Mei pushed open the door without authorization and twisted her waist and came in, "Master, the slave saw that you were working hard to handle things, and made some delicious food for you, you can taste it." ”

As soon as Nanling's eyes opened, the food was delicious in color and fragrant, so he put aside his official duties as soon as his heart moved, hugged Lan Mei, and sniffed the smell on her body: "Is it agarwood incense today?" ”

Lan Mei blushed shyly, pointed her finger at Nanling's self-esteem, and said with a smile: "It's worthy of being a master, you can also smell it." The slave and maid came today because they had something to tell the master. ”

Nanling took a bite of food and said vaguely: "Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Lan Mei seemed to have a little temper, and turned her face away: "Master, the slave and maid heard about it...... The housekeeper and the lady are not clear, and they behave more than others on weekdays, and the slave and maid are worried......"

Before he finished speaking, Nanling pushed Lan Mei away from his body, his face was gloomy, and he said sharply with a straight face: "Lan Mei! Do you know what you're talking about? You dare to make Madame's rumors! ”

Lan Mei was so shocked that she knelt on the ground, her two eyes were blinking rapidly, Nanling couldn't bear to see it, but she still didn't plan to let her get up, Lan Mei raised her hand and made a swear gesture and said: "Master, the slave didn't make a rumor about a lady, these are all facts!" Think about it, on weekdays, if the lady comes to you when she is in a hurry, otherwise when the lady took the initiative to find the master, it is not because of ......."

Lan Mei laughed more and more as she spoke, and when she said that, she looked up at Nanling's expression before she said, "It's not because she and the housekeeper are behind...... Do something unclean in the back. ”

Nan Ling threw out the fold in his hand that was about to be played, and let out a fierce beating sound, "What a bold!" Butler, hmph, this shameless thing, if it weren't for Hua'er's face, I would have thrown him out a long time ago! What is the use of keeping this waste with unclean hands and feet! ”

Lan Mei's heart can be said to be happy, and her face is still so aggrieved: "Master, don't be angry, what if you hurt your body?" ”

Nanling slapped his palm on the ground and shouted, "Come on, bring the housekeeper up!" After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, "You don't have to bring it, it's an eyesore!" Drag it out directly, beat it to death with a stick, throw it at random and throw a mass grave at will, and you don't have to come back to report! ”

The people who were waiting outside were shocked when they heard this, and they went down again and again to spread the message of Nanling.

Soon, the news that the housekeeper was beaten to death overnight and thrown away in a mass grave spread to Cai Chunhua's courtyard. At this time, it was the third watch, and Zhao's mother saw that things happened too suddenly, so she had to wake up Cai Chunhua in a hurry.

Cai Chunhua frowned: "You said that the master ordered someone to beat the housekeeper to death overnight?" ”

Mother Zhao nodded, silent, her face was not much better than Cai Chunhua.

Cai Chunhua couldn't believe it, got up and sat down in front of the dresser: "How come?" What does this mean, sir, could it be ......" Cai Chunhua remembered the change in Nanling's attitude towards Nan Shiyu today, and his heart became uneasy, "Could it be that the master knows about the dowry?" ”

Cai Chunhua had no sleep all night.

When I heard the news early the next morning, Nan Shiyu had to laugh out loud with a straight face, and rewarded a golden branch with a silver step, which was dotted with red agate: "You have to put it away, if it is not a New Year's holiday, you are not allowed to wear it out, it is too eye-catching, be careful of falling into the handle." ”

Jin Zhi couldn't hide it happily, and after saluting and thanking Nan Shiyu, he took the step and hid it: "Miss, go out quickly, Uncle Liu said that Miss has something to do with him today." ”

After a while, Liu Shu and the others drove the carriage to an alley, and when they arrived at the place, Jin Zhi was dumbfounded as soon as he lifted the curtain: "What...... How could it be here?! ”

After that, he got out of the car and put a small stool, and helped Nan Shiyu get out of the car, Nan Shiyu looked at her funny, "Don't worry, we're not wrong, that's it." ”

This is the place where they were besieged by the little marquis of the Hou family in Zhenbei last time, and Zheng Yi rescued them in time that day, otherwise I don't know what the outcome would be.

Jin Zhi was puzzled: "Miss, what are we doing here?" You don't have such good luck every day. ”

Nan Shiyu knocked her on the head and motioned her to look at the wine shop, but Jin Zhi still didn't understand. Nan Shiyu didn't plan to explain more, but just motioned for Liu Qing to follow her, and the golden branch and willow tree stayed in place.

The liquor shop was very dilapidated, the cloth was yellowed with a few big characters hanging outside the door, and the house was not even tiled, and it was not repaired.

Nan Shiyu took Liu Qing and stepped in, and as the figure moved, the dust on the ground quickly floated into the air, and Nan Shiyu hurriedly covered her mouth and nose. There was only a bearded strong man drinking with his head down, and he didn't care about Nan Shiyu and the two at all.

Nan Shiyu gestured to Liu Qing with her eyes, Liu Qing stepped forward to take a look at the strong man's wine jug that seemed to be empty, Nan Shiyu nodded at him, Liu Qing poured a bowl of wine from his waist and handed it to the strong man.

The strong man was about to reach out and take it, but Liu Qing handed the wine elsewhere. The strong man stood up on the table with two palms and glared at Liu Qing angrily, "Who is coming?" It's all drinking, so don't lose your interest. ”

Nan Shiyu saluted him, "Sect Leader Li, don't come unharmed." ”

Hearing Nan Shiyu's name for him, Li Jiaotou's eyes flashed a little strangely, and then he noticed the girl in front of him who was obviously dressed with an extraordinary bearing, "Who is the girl?" This dilapidated liquor shop has long been deserted. Since it came, it must have a purpose. ”

Nan Shiyu nodded in agreement and said: "I really can't hide anything from Sect Leader Li, I really have something to ask for when I came here today, I wonder if Sect Head Li can accept apprentices?" ”

Liu Qing quickly turned his head and looked directly at Nan Shiyu, he remembered that Nan Shiyu asked him a few days ago if he was willing to learn martial arts, it seems that Nan Shiyu came with him to learn martial arts when he came today. Liu Qing burst into tears for a while.

Hearing the word "apprentice", Li Jiaotou straightened his face, sat back and hugged his hands and said, "Girl, please go back, Li doesn't want to." ”

Nan Shiyu was silent for a while and spoke again: "Li Jiaotou should think about it again, isn't it a pity that you have no one to inherit your good skills?" Nan Shiyu stood aside and slapped her hand on Liu Qing's shoulder, "Li Jiaotou, this kid is a good seedling who learns martial arts, you will definitely like it." ”

Seeing that Li Jiaotou was still drinking with his head bored, he was not moved at all. Liu Qing glanced at Nan Shiyu with some concern, and wanted to lower her voice and pull Nan Shiyu away, but Nan Shiyu seemed to have made up her mind, and she looked like she would never give up if she didn't achieve her goal today.

Nan Shiyu stretched out his hand and took out a dull jade hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jiaotou's eyes, Li Jiaotou was shocked, and finally looked at Nan Shiyu: "How can you have this!" What exactly do you ...... Who is it? ”

Nan Shiyu saw that the goal was achieved, so she quickly put away the jade hairpin: "It doesn't matter who I am, this is the jade hairpin of the first lady, it has always been in my hands, Li Jiaotou is really unwilling to guide ......" Nan Shiyu and Liu Qing glanced at each other, "Then I have to take this kid away." ”

After saying that, he was about to leave with Liu Qing, Li Jiaotou looked at Nan Shiyu deeply behind him, and slapped the table: "Slow!" It's okay to take in apprentices, but the old man is only willing to guide this kid for two years, and after two years, you will come and bring people back. ”

Nan Shiyu achieved her goal, couldn't help laughing, and patted Liu Qing's back: "You can rest assured here, learn martial arts with peace of mind, and I will come back to you in two years." After that, he passed by Liu Qing, and walked straight towards the willow tree and the golden branch.

Liu Qing was both excited and sad in the back, and the look in his eyes was taken in by Li Jiaotou. Li Jiaotou stepped forward and put a hand on Liu Qing's shoulder, Liu Qing was startled and hurriedly corrected.

Li Jiaotou grinned: "You don't have to be like this, the old man understands your thoughts, you just like that girl." The old man advises you not to think about something that you don't have, that girl is not simple, and you can only learn martial arts with peace of mind, so that you can protect her in the future. ”

Liu Qing didn't know what was going on, I don't know why Li Jiaotou said that Nan Shiyu was not simple, but he agreed with the second half of the sentence, he really had to protect Nan Shiyu in the future.

Nan Shiyu successfully asked Li Jiaotou to teach Liu Qing martial arts, and he was in a good mood, and even his steps became extremely light, like walking on the water, and his feet were like lotus flowers every step.

When he arrived at the carriage, Jin Zhi was curious why Nan Shiyu was so happy, and he didn't look at Liu Qing's figure left and right, "Miss, where is Liu Qing?" ”

Nan Shiyu got into the carriage and propped one hand on her cheek, "Don't worry, he's fine, we can naturally see him in two years." ”

In the place where Nan Shiyu couldn't see, Jin Zhi's face was full of loss.

The sun outside was just right, and it was cast on Nan Shiyu's face through the gap in the curtain, making Nan Shiyu's cheeks have an extra path of light. Nan Shiyu was drowsy, and there was indeed a familiar figure breaking into her eyes in a daze, Nan Shiyu woke up suddenly, and was so anxious that she lifted the curtain and looked back, but found that there were human figures outside, and that person had long been buried in the sea of people.

Nan Shiyu knocked on the carriage and asked, "Uncle Liu, have you seen Uncle Zhao recently?" ”

The willow tree drove the carriage, and did not dare to turn his head, but when he heard the voice, he stopped the carriage in the middle of the road: "Ah? Uncle Zhao? I didn't see it, what's wrong? ”

Nan Shiyu unwillingly lifted the curtain again, got out of the car, Jin Zhi hurriedly raised an umbrella for Nan Shiyu, and wondered: "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Nan Shiyu didn't know how to answer her, and when she was about to leave, a familiar voice came from in front of the carriage: "Yo, Second Miss Nan!" What a coincidence! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and the person who came was Zheng Yi, who was standing under the sun with an umbrella and looked at Nan Shiyu with a smile: "It's better to come early than to come by coincidence, there is a very famous teahouse here, I wonder if the second girl in Nan is willing to go with her?" ”

Nan Shiyu was about to refuse, but Zheng Yi hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is also here, please ask the second girl to appreciate her face." ”

Nan Shiyu frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she also changed her attention: "Since His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is here, then I'll go and take a look." ”

The willow tree made the carriage and watched Zheng Yi lead Nan Shiyu to the teahouse.

In the private room above the teahouse, Zheng Yi personally made tea for Nan Shiyu, Nan Shiyu took a sip, and couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's really good tea." I didn't expect that Master Zheng could actually make tea, and it was really rare to be able to cook it so well. ”

Zheng Yi smiled meaningfully.
