Wen Zhili took the scroll, a gentle smile on his lips. He untied the red ribbon tied to the scroll, and then slowly unfolded the scroll in front of Heluo.

He Luo looked at it curiously, and his original smile slowly froze on his face. She seemed a little incredulous, then pointed to the scroll and said, "This, this ......."

"This is your birthday gift this year, if you don't want it, I'll take it back." After Wen Zhili finished speaking, he prepared to roll the scroll back up.

He Luo didn't care about any humility, she snatched it directly from Wen Zhili's hand, and the baby had to be protected in her arms and said: "Master, the eldest husband is hard to chase after him, since you have already said that this is my birthday gift, it cannot be taken back." ”

After saying that, she smiled and unfolded the scroll to look at the painting in front of her, on which there was a little girl who looked like she was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a bright smile on her face, and behind her were blooming begonia flowers.

The little girl in the painting looks like a real person, and her smile seems to have spirituality, so that everyone who sees it can't help but smile. Each stroke is very delicately outlined, which shows how much thought the painter put into it.

"Ever since you saw my mother's portrait that day, don't you really want me to paint a picture of you? Now that my wish has been fulfilled, I am willing to leave obediently. Wen Zhili's voice was faint.

"Master, when did you paint this painting?" He Luo looked at him with some curiosity.

"A year ago." Wen Zhili's voice was gentle.

He Luo said a little angrily: "I painted it a year ago, and you only give it to me now?" ”

"Busy forgot." Wen Zhili said with a smile.

He Luo said with some dissatisfaction: "You remember other people's things well, but you can't remember my turn to remember them." ”

"What did you say?" Wen Zhili asked lightly. When He Luo heard him ask, he suddenly lost his temper. She respects, loves and fears Wen Zhili in her bones.

He Luo immediately put on a flattering smile and said, "I mean I am blessed to let my master paint for me personally." I'm wondering how to thank you. ”

"Have you figured it out now?" Wen Zhili looked at her with a little interest.

"Isn't that what you're thinking! I'm thinking. He Luo said as he carefully rolled up the painting and set it aside. Then he walked to Wen Zhili's side and helped him squeeze his shoulders, smiling with a hint of flattery.

Wen Zhili enjoyed her dog-legged appearance, with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth. As if she had thought of something, He Luo said, "Master, did you say before that there are no gifts this year, and you will give me two copies for next year's birthday." ”

"Well, I said that." Wen Zhili's voice was calm.

"Then you give it to me now, can I still get two gifts next year?" There was some expectation in Heluo's eyes.

"Didn't you say that as long as I accompany you for your birthday, it's okay without a gift?" Wen Zhili's voice had a hint of a smile, "What gift are you still asking me for?" ”

"Master, that's not what I said." He Luo then rubbed Wen Zhili's shoulders, "I've been working with you for so many years, and I've finally had a birthday, so you have to express it." ”

"Accompany you on your birthday, and you can't express enough?" Wen Zhili's words were gentle, and He Luo didn't know how to respond for a while.

Seeing that He Luo didn't answer, Wen Zhili said with a smile: "If you want a birthday gift, I'm afraid it's not enough for you to please me like this." ”

After hearing him say this, He Luo immediately walked around to Wen Zhili's eyes and asked, "Then how can I please Ye?" ”

Wen Zhili reached out and clasped the back of He Luo's head, and his lips covered it directly. He Luo closed his eyes and felt the kiss of Wen Zhili. He kissed gently, and He Luo stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his waist, and they both fell on the couch.

Wen Zhili let go of He Luo and said, "That's it." He Luo smiled and kissed him on the lips again. The early autumn sun shone into the house, warming the ambiguous atmosphere of the room.

Jian You really reported the cause of Lin Ziping's death according to what Wen Zhili said. As for those so-called witnesses, they don't even have the opportunity to speak in front of power.

Chunxiao came to the hall, where Wen Zhili was sitting waiting for her. He had an urn in his hand, as well as an envelope. The moment Chunxiao saw Wen Zhili, there was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth.

She knelt down in front of Wen Zhili, then kowtowed and said, "Master, please forgive Chunxiao for not being able to serve you anymore." ”

"Now that it's decided, I respect you." Wen Zhili's voice was faint.

Chunxiao knew that Lin Ziping had done a lot of unforgivable things, and he had also paid the price he should have paid. It's just that after killing her fiancé, the slave really doesn't have the courage to stay here anymore. The slave and maid are not sorry for the master, but they are sorry for him. Therefore, the slave and maid prepared to return to their hometowns to take care of his parents and atone for his sins. After Chunxiao finished speaking, tears rolled down.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to achieve, Chunxiao, you have done a good job." Wen Zhili gently comforted.

Chunxiao did not stop him from doing something to hurt the Wen family, it was out of disloyalty. He was as deep as the sea, but I killed him with my own hands for injustice. The slave maid has never had any big ambitions, and just wants to be an ordinary person without merit. But he never thought that he would become an unfaithful and unrighteous person. Chunxiao's tone was a little choked.

"What's even more ridiculous is that after I killed him, I didn't even have the courage to be martyred." Chunxiao wiped a handful of tears, "I still want to live, and live with guilt for him." Master, do you think I'm being selfish? ”

Wen Zhili smiled slightly after listening to Chunxiao's words: "Yes, it's very selfish." However, if a person lives a life without himself, what can he do for it? You don't need to blame yourself for letting people take their lives, and I should apologize. ”

Chunxiao hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, don't say that, this time it's Chunxiao's own decision." Because of Chunxiao's impulsiveness, he even affected Lu Yu and He Luo, and made the master owe a favor to the Inspectorate. Chunxiao is really a sin and deserves death. ”

"It doesn't matter, whether there is such a thing or not, I will go to the Inspector's Office." Wen Zhili said as he picked up the urn and envelope on the table and walked in front of Chunxiao.

He squatted down, handed the urn to Chunxiao and said, "This is Lin Ziping's ashes, you can take him back to his hometown for burial." And the money in this envelope, although it is not much, should be enough for you to live the rest of your life. ”
