"People are small and big. Don't eavesdrop on what adults say! Liu Mengyan nodded Liu Qingde's forehead and said.

"My sister is not an adult!" Liu Qingde stuck out his tongue unconvinced.

"It's bigger than you anyway!" Liu Mengyan stuck out her tongue at her younger brother and said.

"Tomorrow on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my mother will take the two of you out to watch the lantern festival!" Zhu looked at a pair of children and doted on them.

"Yes. Mother, I'm going out to talk to my third uncle about something. Liu Mengyan said suddenly.

"I'll go with you!" Liu Qingde said again.

"No, you can't. You stay here with your mother. Liu Mengyan shook her finger and deliberately scared him with a tiger face.

Then she walked out.

"Mother, is my sister really an adult?" Liu Qingde snuggled in Zhu's arms and said.

"Your sister is trying her ......best for you," Zhu said, hugging his son.

Liu Mengyan came to the courtyard where Zhu Guangzu and the Gao family lived.

Gao was still having lunch, but there was no one else at the table.

"Li'er, have you had lunch?" Aunt Gao asked.

"Used. My aunt's lunch here is so rich! Seeing Li'er, she was about to drool. Liu Mengyan deliberately made a joke.

Gao smiled affectionately: "If you are willing to come to your aunt often, I will let the cook give you a different way to eat every day." ”

"Thank you, aunt. Today, Li'er wanted to talk to her third uncle about something. Uncle, he's there, right? Liu Mengyan said.

"In his study. I don't know what's wrong today, so I hurriedly used it a little, and I didn't get out of the study. Gao said.

"That aunt is eating slowly, and I will go to the study to look for him." Liu Mengyan said without scruples.

Gao nodded, and Liu Mengyan turned around and went to Zhu Guangzu's study.

Gao's maid couldn't help but say: "The relationship between Miss Biao and the master is really good!" ”

There was a sour smell in these words. If it is given to ordinary people, it is extremely difficult for aunts and nieces to get along.

Gao glanced at the girl and said, "She is the master's niece, so she naturally has a good relationship." Don't chew your tongue! If you hear that in the future, you won't have to wait here. ”

The maid hurriedly lowered her face, not daring to say more.

The Gao family comes from a family of five-grade petty officials, and he looks a little ordinary, and he doesn't belong to that kind of particularly beautiful woman.

And Zhu Guangzu was once one of the most famous beautiful men in the capital, and compared with other sons, he also has a masculine beauty.

There were more than a dozen ladies who admired him back then, but he married the daughter of a Gao family who was not outstanding at all, which made many people secretly puzzled.

If it is said that Gao's talent is outstanding, it is just that her appearance is not amazing, and her family background is also very average.

But Zhu Guangzu has been married to her for many years and has two sons, and has always respected her very much for many years.

That's because the Gao family has a serious character, knows when to say something, never talks too much, and serves Mrs. Zhu wholeheartedly, takes care of her two sons meticulously, and treats Zhu and Liu Mengyan with sincere support. Up and down the house, no one can pick out Gao's not.

Liu Mengyan has a good impression of this third aunt.

The reason why she was so comfortable in front of the Gao clan just now was because she knew that the Gao clan would not be curious about what she had come to Zhu Guangzu for.

Even if she was curious, she wouldn't inquire, let alone mind.

"Third uncle!"

The girl's voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley is particularly pleasant in this quiet study in the afternoon.

"Li'er!" Zhu Guangzu raised his head and looked towards the door, his hand unconsciously covering the book he was reading just now.

"I'm disturbing my third uncle's reading." Liu Mengyan said.

"Come in! But come and ask for someone with me? Zhu Guangzu said with a smile.

"Exactly! My uncle has already agreed. After tomorrow, Li'er will return to Liufu with her mother. Uncle is not allowed to speak, it is not counted! Liu Mengyan said.

"Li'er, sit down on my uncle's side!" Zhu Guangzu put away the light smile on his face.

Liu Mengyan walked over and sat in the circle chair beside Zhu Guangzu according to his meaning.

"Ruoli," Zhu Guangzu frowned slightly: "Before handing over people to you, the third uncle still wants to ask, what is the use of a person who knows how to do with you, a girl in the boudoir?" ”

Although he agreed to borrow someone that day, after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Guangzu was a little uneasy.

He didn't wait for Liu Ruli to answer, and continued: "If you want to do something, just tell the third uncle." The third uncle did it for you! ”

"The third uncle, Li'er and her mother are weak in Liufu. Although your grandmother and third uncle are in the capital, your hands can't reach out to the inner house of Liufu. This matter cannot be left to others, but can only be done by herself. Besides, there are some things that Li'er has to do by herself. Liu Mengyan said with a firm gaze.

I saw that her eyes were piercing, her expression was resolute, and she even gritted her teeth a little when she spoke!

Zhu Guangzu was slightly surprised in his heart, but quickly said, "Okay, then I'll send four people to you." For the sake of convenience, all four of them will follow you in as little servants, so as not to arouse suspicion! ”

Liu Mengyan nodded and said solemnly: "Thank you third uncle." ”

"Go back. In the evening I will have the four of them go to your side. From now on, they will be your people. Zhu Guangzu said.

Liu Mengyan stood up, glanced at Zhu Guangzu's desk unconsciously, and then walked to the door.

Listening to the footsteps of his niece in the distance, Zhu Guangzu went to open the page of the book he had just closed.

At night, Liu Mengyan had just had dinner at Zhu's side, and then got up and went back to the courtyard where she lived.

"Girl, there are four people in our courtyard. They said it was the girl's person, and they just stood there without saying a word, which was really scary! Qiu Yun saw that Liu Mengyan had finally returned, and hurriedly greeted her.

"It's coming!" Liu Mengyan looked happy, and hurriedly quickened her pace and walked inside.

Sure enough, in front of the main house, there were four young people dressed as ordinary maids.

But as long as you look closely, they are different from ordinary subordinates, and they exude a different temperament.

Liu Mengyan knew that it was unique to people who practiced martial arts.

"Tell me your names and years!" Liu Mengyan said excitedly.

"My name is Zhu Wu, and I am twenty-two years old."

"My name is Zhu Xing, and I am twenty this year."

"My name is Zhu Hai, and I am nineteen this year."

"My name is Zhu Song, and I am twenty-five this year."

The four of them all took "Zhu" as their name, and they were obviously Zhu Guangzu's personal soldiers, and they were absolutely loyal to him.

"Good. After that, the four of you will follow me into the Willow Mansion. Liu Mengyan said.

"The lord told us to listen to the girl. From now on, the girl will be our master. Zhu Song stood up and said.

"You're the oldest, so you're their leader." Liu Mengyan said.

During the Lantern Festival in the first month, lights are hung everywhere on the street, and every household comes out to play.

The Zhu family took Liu Mengyan and Liu Qingde out with a few girls, in fact, Liu Mengyan also let Zhu Song and Zhu Hai follow, but they hid in the crowd.

On the street, the flow of people is like weaving, shoulder to shoulder.

"Mother, you and Qiu Ping are holding Qingde with one hand. There are too many people, beware of squeezing out of the way. Liu Mengyan looked at this posture and said worriedly.

Zhu nodded, and took Liu Qingde's hand with Qiu Ping.

"Mother, I'll just be with Bitong and them, if we get separated. We'll go back. Liu Mengyan said.

"Well, you pay attention, if you can't find us, go back yourself." Zhu said.

Sure enough, within a while, Liu Mengyan and the others were separated from the Zhu family and others.

"Zhu Song!" Liu Mengyan shouted at the constant flow of people around her, and she didn't have any hope that they would be by her side like secret guards.

"Girl, Zhu Song is here!"

I saw that he was dressed in a brown kudzu robe, and suddenly appeared out of the crowd and walked to Liu Mengyan.

Bi Tong and Qiu Yunju both looked surprised with surprised looks.

"You're really here! What about Zhu Hai? Liu Mengyan was also very happy.

"Zhu Hai is here!"

He was a little smaller, and immediately ran across the street.

"Zhu Song, you go and protect my mother and brother immediately. Let them return to the Zhu Mansion safely. Liu Mengyan said.

"Yes!" Zhu Song disappeared into the crowd again without hesitation.

"Zhu Hai, you just stay by my side. In fact, you can also do without stealth! Liu Mengyan said.

"Girl, stealth is one of the basic skills of our secret guards. Stealth better protects the owner. Zhu Haidao.

He laughed, like a simple, ordinary young man.

"Oh!! Then you go invisible! Liu Mengyan had no choice but to say.

Zhu Hai is gone, like a drop of water flowing into the river and sea, and a fish flowing into the sea.

"Girl, will we all be protected by secret guards in the future?" Bitong quipped.

Liu Mengyan nodded, and then pulled Bitong and Qiu Yun to the lively light market.

With Zhu Song, she can rest assured of the safety of the Zhu family and others.

Since her rebirth, Liu Mengyan has not been as relaxed as she is now.

She took the two girls to shuttle through the crowd at will like in the previous life, looking here and there for a while, anyway, wherever it was lively.

"Girl, it's funny to look at those masks!" Bitong couldn't help but say when she saw a vendor selling masks.

"You can't wear masks, a lot of people on the street wear masks. As soon as we put it on, Zhu Hai will not be able to find us. Liu Mengyan immediately reacted in her head.

"The girl is right." Qiu Yun nodded.

"Look, what's going on over there, let's go see!" Liu Mengyan said.

She found a very tall cross lighthouse, surrounded by people.

The three of them ran over to that side.

On top of a seven-story building across from the lighthouse, a window was open, and the people inside were looking towards the lighthouse.

"Your Highness, the lantern festival in the palace is just applauding today. You want to come here and enjoy the lanterns with these people. Sanfu said beside the man.

"The lights in the palace are almost the same every year, what's so beautiful!" The black-robed man said lazily, and his beautiful pale face stood out in the light of the night light.
