A whirlpool wind blew up on the open dam in front of it for no reason, wrapping the golden fallen leaves in it, hula-la-la, flying higher than the roof, and then scattered into pieces and fell, the whirlpool wind came and went fast, lost the wind this dependence, most of the fallen leaves could only fall into dust, of course, there were also a lot of falling on Li Ze, who was sitting on the roof at the moment.

Li Ze rested his hands on his chin, his elbows supported his knees, and he had maintained this posture for a long time, even if the leaves fell on his head, shoulders, and even a sparrow flying over his head unceremoniously pulled a piece of black and gray feces on his priceless lake-blue jacket, and it did not let him move too much. He stared into the distance with a pair of big eyes and a little melancholy, but he didn't have any focus.

Li Ze is only fourteen years old this year, but his stature is far taller than his peers, at the age of fourteen, he has grown to about one meter seven, although his face is not better than Pan An, but it is also angular, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and heroic. Of course, this is also due to his very good genes, coupled with the excellent living conditions.

He pretended to be a thinker on the roof, but in the courtyard below, the eyes of several people kept falling on him, even if his neck was sour, he did not dare to be careless. The net worth and life of these people are tied to Li Ze alone, not to mention that Li Ze has three longs and two shorts, that is, he has a headache and brain fever, which is also a great deal for them.

"Master, it's almost time, Madame is waiting for you to eat!" A girl in an orange dress cried out crisply while rubbing her neck with her hands. Her name is Xia He, she is the big girl ring in Li Ze's house, although it is the identity of the girl, but in fact, the girl in this kind of house is more comfortable and noble than the ladies in the ordinary house, not to mention anything else, but this round neck, oblique placket, and skirt embroidered with gold and silver dark flowers are worth hundreds of taels of silver. Not to mention the jasper hairpin on the top of the head, and the white jade bracelet with gold wire twisted on the wrist, each of which is enough for a small family to chew for a year.

One step behind Xia He, there was a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, where he stood with his hands crossed, compared with Xia He's wealth and compulsion, this big man seemed much more frugal, and his whole body only revealed a neatness and simplicity.

His name is Tu Lichun, and he is Li Ze's bodyguard.

Li Ze on the roof stood up, opened his arms, as if he wanted to hug something in his arms, and then he opened his mouth and looked up to the sky and snorted.

The people below were not surprised, but they didn't hear it, in the past few years, every time Li Ze went up to the roof, and after squatting in this posture for a while, it always ended with such a strange howl.

When I heard it for the first time, everyone was still very frightened, thinking that the young master was stunned, but after yelling for a while, the young master's mood seemed to be very good for a while, and everyone became accustomed to it. Later, when Xia He felt that the young master's mood was very unstable, he even instigated Li Ze to go up to the roof to take a look at the scenery.

As expected, when the howling stopped, Li Ze turned around, and his face, which had been covered with a layer of frost, was full of smiles again. I walked from the ridge to the edge of the eaves, and jumped down as soon as I jumped down.

Tu Lichun, who was originally standing with his hands in his hands, took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and gently dragged a belt under Li Ze's armpit, Li Ze was already standing firmly on the ground, such a game, the two of them have done it countless times, and they are already familiar with it.

Xia He took two steps forward, took out a hand towel to wipe the bird droppings on Li Ze's body, frowned, and said, "Master, go back to the room to wash it first, and change your clothes."

"Hmm!" Li Ze nodded. I pulled my clothes and sniffed, "It's a little smelly."

Xia He couldn't cry or laugh, "Master, what are you doing?" ”

Li Ze shrugged. It's just a little tasteful, what's the matter if you don't change it? ”

"Master, we are not a small family, we talk and do things, treat people, and dress up, so naturally we have to pay attention to it." Xia He said in a low voice.

Li Ze sneered, stopped, and turned his head to look at the towering lush green mountains in the distance, "Xiaomen Xiaohu, ho ho, Xiaomen Xiaohu can at least be free, but can we?" We're just birds in a cage, and we don't know when we get upset and reach out and pinch us to death. If you live today and have no tomorrow, you might as well live happily and live as much as you want, so that even if you die, you won't lose anything, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, you have a great future!" Xia He's face was a little miserable when Li Ze said something, but he still held on to his spirit and comforted him.

"Huh, the future is great?" Li Ze flattened his mouth disapprenously.

"The master is still very concerned about you, not only sent a good hand like Brother Tu to you as a guard, but also invited Mr. Gongsun to teach the master to study this time, I heard that this Mr. Gongsun is a very famous scholar! If the master doesn't care about you, how can he take such painstry!"

"Tu Lichun is really good, but that old man Gongsun, do you think he really came to teach me to read? It's not so much that he came to teach me, but that he came to take refuge with us, this old man, the water is deep, and that person is really economical, and the Tibetans are hiding in piles, which is really convenient." Li Ze said sarcastically.

Xia He looked back at Tu Lichun, but Tu Lichun walked a few steps behind them with his hands hanging down as if he was fine, as if he didn't hear what Li Ze said just now.

"Master, master is your father after all!" Xia He persuaded, "No matter what, it's not good for you to say this behind your back, if this reaches the ears of the master, the master will be even more disliked, in the past two years, the number of times the master has come here has become less and less."

"It's better not to come, quiet." Li Ze sneered.

Looking at Li Ze's appearance, Xia He sighed and didn't say anything anymore, just led Li Ze to the backyard.

This is a very large house, divided into the front yard and the backyard, the backyard alone, is three in and three out covers an area of more than ten acres, the backyard is divided into several small yards, each yard is divided into the main house, the left and right wings, and hugging the building, partial houses and other large and small dozens of houses, as well as large and small gardens, water pavilions, ponds. However, in a huge place, there are only two masters, that is, Li Ze's mother and son, and there are dozens of other servants such as gatekeepers, sprinkling and sweeping, taking care of flowers and trees, kitchens, needlework, and some rough mothers-in-law.

Li Ze's mother, Mrs. Wang, lives in Jingxin Pavilion, and Li Ze lives in Mingshuyuan, these two courtyards are very close to each other, and are connected by a corridor in the middle, in addition to the two of them, there is also a special person who has an independent courtyard, that is, Gongsun Changming, who taught Li Ze to read, lives in Moxiangju.

In addition to Li Ze, there are more than a dozen other people living in the Ming Book Garden, including Tu Lichun and a few other guards, and then the big girl Huan Xia He and some other rough girls.

Xia He is a clever man with hands and feet, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he immediately arranged it in a row, and a few little girls quickly prepared hot water and handkerchiefs, and Xia He waited for Li Ze to change his clothes, and after washing up again, the two of them only went to Mrs. Wang of Jingxin Pavilion. As for Tu Lichun and the others, they naturally sent the food to Mingshuyuan from the room.

After passing through the long corridor, I arrived in front of the courtyard gate of the Jingxin Pavilion, and a big girl who was dressed like Xia He was already waiting there, and when she saw Li Ze, she squatted down and said softly: "Young master, Mrs. is already waiting in the main hall."

Li Ze nodded, strode inside, and Xia He explained softly behind him, "When the master was naughty outside, he accidentally let the birds and sparrows get some unclean things on his body, and washed it again, it's a little late, Sister Xia Zhu, Madam is not angry, right?"

"When have you ever seen Madame angry?" Xia Zhu's voice was also low, "The young master is on the roof again, and we are all listening to that cry in the backyard."

"How can Sister Xia Zhu be sure that the master is shouting?" Xia He chuckled.

"Nonsense, at home, except for the master who dares to yell so unscrupulously, who dares to be so presumptuous? Aren't you afraid of being kicked out?" Xia Zhu glanced at Xia He.

"Yes." Xia He covered his mouth and smiled, "I don't know what happened today, looking at the news sent from outside, my mood is extremely bad, you know, every time this time, when you go to the roof to roar, it will relieve a lot."

"Our young master's temper is also really interesting. When others are angry, they will always get angry, but it's better for him to get rid of it by yelling."

The two big girls were muttering behind them, Li Ze's footsteps paused slightly, and glanced back at the two of them, and the two immediately lowered their eyebrows and stopped talking.

Li Ze turned around, but his mind was still ringing with what Xia Zhu had just said.

"When have you ever seen Madame angry?"

Yes, not only Xia Zhu Xia He has never seen it, but even he, how have he ever seen his mother angry, not only has he not been angry, but he has never been happy, and even Li Ze has grown so big, he has never seen his mother smile. Mrs. Wang always had such a faint expression, no matter what trouble Li Ze had caused or what small achievements he made, it would not make her thousand-year-old expression change.

Walking into the main hall, Li Ze saw at a glance that Mrs. Wang was sitting upright on the edge of the table.

"Mother, I'm coming." Li Ze bowed and said.

Mrs. Wang didn't say anything, just picked up the chopsticks and ate silently.

Li Ze was already accustomed to his mother's habits, so he stopped talking, sat opposite his mother, and ate by himself, while the two girls stood aside and kept dispensing dishes for the two of them.
