"Master Hou, get up and eat."

Su Li put the hot breakfast on the table, the cook in the back kitchen was selected by the emperor from the imperial dining room to give it to Chu Huai'an, the cooking skills are top-notch, even the most ordinary and simple breakfast, she has made it extremely exquisite, just looking at it makes people very appetizing.

However, someone, who had long been accustomed to eating delicious delicacies, ignored Su Li and lay on the bed with his back to her.

"Master Hou?"

"Get out!"

Su Li quietly exited the room, when she decided to confess to Chu Huai'an yesterday, she was already ready to meet the current situation.

It seems that the country is peaceful and peaceful, but the situation under the court is actually treacherous, and the corruption of military salaries can never be done by one person, and the relationship behind this is complicated.

Without Chu Huai'an's help, Su Li would definitely not have been able to get evidence to clear Lu Ji of his guilt in such a tight time on her own.

Telling Chu Huai'an the truth is a big gamble, in this gamble, Su Li is betting on her own life and the Zhenbei Army under the command of Lu Ji, and she has no chips in her hands except for the meager friendship with Chu Huai'an in the past ten years.

If Chu Huai'an helps her, there is still a glimmer of hope, if he doesn't help her, Ah Zhan has been settled, and she can advance and retreat with the Zhenbei Army without any worries!

She had long put life and death out of the way, but before she died, there was one thing she had to do!

According to her memories, Su Li drew the embroidery she saw yesterday on the paper, Chu Huai'an didn't want to see her, she just had time to go out and investigate.

When I went out, the sky was sunny for a few days and it was snowing, so Su Li asked the porter to borrow an umbrella and go out.

The cold wind grabbed every gap with the snowflakes and desperately drilled into the clothes, Su Li pulled up the collar and walked forward with the umbrella in a hurry.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and after a while, a thin layer of snow accumulates on the umbrella, and the shoes under her feet are also soaked, and the cold air invades her body.

Several people were severely reprimanded by their father, and after returning to the yard, she had a high fever, and He'er stood by the bed, holding her cold feet in her heart, and shouted pitifully, 'Miss, you get better, He'er is willing to die for Miss for ten years!' ’。

Xu is that girl will hang the words 'ten years of life' on her lips at every turn, and only later will even the child in her womb be implicated.

Thinking wildly, the ready-to-wear shop was already in front of him, it was snowing heavily at this time, and there was no one in the store, Su Li slowly exhaled a breath of stagnant turbidity, stood under the eaves, shook off the snow on the umbrella gently, put it away and stood by the door before entering the store.

"Childe, do you want to cut new clothes?"

The guy asked enthusiastically, only seeing the luxurious clothes on Su Li's body, but not finding that she was a daughter.

"I'll take a look first."

Su Li said, quickly looked around the store, and the guy didn't bother her, and stood quietly next to her.

After making sure that there was no one else, Su Li touched her chin and pretended to be distressed: "A few days ago, I saw a boy with a fancy on his clothes, and he looked very handsome and beautiful when he wore it, why didn't you have it in the store?" ”

"How is that possible? Our shop is the most complete and best workmanship in the whole capital, what fancy is so peculiar, even we don't have it here? ”

Xiao Er asked unconvinced, Su Li blinked, took out the drawings from his sleeve pocket and handed them over: "Oh, that's it, I don't draw well, but the style is like this." ”

"Huh? This style is not complicated, nor is it how amazing it is, why does Childe love it so much? Xiao Er stared at the drawings and muttered to himself suspiciously.

Su Li was just about to urge him to do business, but his white jade hand suddenly passed over her and took the drawing.

Su Li was startled, subconsciously turned her head and grabbed the man's hand, and then was stunned: "Sir, why are you here?" ”

The best restaurant in the capital, Guizi No. 1 private room, Su Li Xingyun flowing water boiling water to make tea, not long, the sweet tea fragrance overflows, the root tea leaves are like clouds in the water stretch out.

"Sir, please have tea."

Su Li made a 'please' gesture, Gu Yuanfeng picked up the teacup, smelled the tea first, and then took a sip.

The sweet and mellow aroma of tea trickled down his throat and into his abdomen, and then filled his limbs and bones.

"I haven't seen you for five years, but the craftsmanship has never been unfamiliar."

After the sweetness in his mouth, Gu Yuanfeng made an evaluation, and Su Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Mr. taught hard back then, and he never dared to forget!" ”

"Really?" Gu Yuanfeng said and put down the teacup, took out the paper that he had just snatched from the ready-to-wear shop, and said, "Since you still think I am your husband, why don't you ask me directly for answers if you have any questions?" Is it because the teacher is not worthy of teaching you to solve your doubts? ”

His voice was soft, but there was a bit of self-deprecation in his tone, which pierced Su Li's heart more sharply than any verbal reprimand.

"Students don't dare! It's just that Mr. is busy with official business, and the students are afraid of disturbing Mr. ”

Su Li lowered her head and admitted her mistake, but she didn't dare to say her purpose to involve Gu Yuanfeng, and temporarily made a lame excuse.

"Although I am an official in the court, I am not an important position, so why do I say that I am busy with official business? Besides, even if I have a good day, whenever Ah Li comes to me, I am always available! ”

“……”

Speaking of which, if Su Li is pretending to be polite again, it will inevitably seem too distant and ruthless.

As a last resort, Su Li had no choice but to ask for help: "The student wants to know what grade of official uniform the pattern on the drawing is, please let Mr. know." ”

After saying that, she leaned over and saluted, as if asking for something very important.

Gu Yuanfeng pinched the drawings, looked at the top of her head wearing a jade crown and tied her hair, inexplicably a little sad, and sighed unconsciously: "Five years ago, I watched from the wall, and Ah Li really held a grudge and separated ...... with teachers and students."

"Sir's words are heart-wrenching, Ah Li never has such a thought!"

Su Li's eyes were red with anxiety, and her voice trembled a little because of excitement.

This trip back to Jingji was unpredictable, and the fewer people involved, the better, so she didn't go through Yue Yan to find out the news of that person, so she naturally didn't want to involve Gu Yuanfeng even more.

However, now that Gu Yuanfeng is pressing forward step by step, she can't think of a way to prevaricate.

The little apprentice who hadn't seen him for five years was forced to turn red by his words, and was looked at by the big tearful eyes, where did Gu Yuanfeng still have the mind to ask, so he had to say helplessly: "That's it, if you want to do this, then be so, don't cry, I won't beat you." ”

After speaking, I picked up the drawings and looked at them carefully.

Su Li knew that he cared about himself, and he couldn't live up to this intention, so he could only say frankly: "It's not that Ah Li deliberately wants to hide Mr., what I'm doing now is dangerous and abnormal, and Mr.'s edification has not been repaid, and Ali would rather die than involve Mr. in this turmoil!" ”

She said extremely firmly, Gu Yuanfeng knew that he couldn't ask anything from her, so he could only flick his face on her forehead.

"It's so dangerous, then the teacher will wait to collect the body for you."

If there is a day, I am afraid that I can only end up in the wilderness of violent corpses, and I will never dirty my husband's hands again.

Su Li added in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

Gu Yuanfeng stared at the drawings for a while and said, "Although this style is simple, I have only seen it once, and it should be on the official uniform of the newly established military intelligence department of the Ministry of War." ”

"MIA? What for? ”

Su Li asked nervously, just the word 'Military Intelligence Department' made her suddenly uneasy.

"In recent years, the country and the people have been safe, and some people have reported that the military needs of the imperial court are too large, and after the discussion of the ministers, a special military intelligence department has been set up to investigate the military service situation in various places and the training situation of the border barracks, to see if there are people in the army who are greedy for fun, if necessary, the army will be reduced next year and the military needs will be reduced!"

"Playful? Reduced military supplies? ”

Su Li asked in disbelief, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably with anger!

The knife-like cold wind swept the snowflakes against the window, making a 'pop' sound, and the stove was burning in the house, but Su Li couldn't feel a trace of warmth.

It is cold in Saibei, and a new cotton coat can only be owned by people with the rank of lieutenant or above for the Zhenbei Army.

In order to keep out the cold, the officers and men in the army can only extend the training time, but the consumption is too large, and the supply of military food has been cut off from time to time in recent years.

Beijing is a prosperous and prosperous world, who would have thought that Saibei Waikou has faintly relapsed?

Is the embezzlement of military salaries unnoticed by the DPRK and China, or is everyone pretending to be deaf and dumb?

The new emperor has been on the throne for several years, and he has already stabilized the dragon throne, so is he so stupid that he will let the traitor take charge? ?

"Ah Li, you've only been back in Beijing for a few days, how do you know someone from the MIA? And why is your face so bad? Uncomfortable? ”

Gu Yuanfeng asked softly, raised his hand to reach for Su Li's forehead, and the tentacles looked cold and sticky, and they actually broke out in a cold sweat.

Just as he was worried, the door of the private room was kicked open, Chu Huai'an swaggered in, and saw Gu Yuanfeng's hand on Su Li's forehead, and suddenly sank his face: "The surname Gu, let me spread my hand!" ”

"Why is Master Hou here?"

Gu Yuanfeng withdrew his hand unhurriedly, and Xiao Er stood at the door and apologized repeatedly: "Mr. Gu, I'm really embarrassed, Master Hou must come in, the little one can't stop him." ”

This is Xiaoyao Hou, don't say that this shopkeeper can't stop it, I'm afraid this person's temper will come up, and even the royal forest army in the palace can't stop it!

"It's okay, I'll talk to Master Hou."

Gu Yuanfeng waved his hand, but he didn't care, Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said smoothly: "Sir, don't worry, today's meal, the small shop is invited!" ”

After speaking, he took the door and left, the room was quiet again, Gu Yuanfeng poured a cup of tea again and handed it to Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an subconsciously wanted to refuse, but heard him say in a low voice: "Ah Li, Master Hou might as well taste it." ”

“……”

Stretched out his hand to take it, drank it all in one gulp, and the fragrant tea fragrance invaded his lungs along his throat, and his mouth was fragrant.

Chu Huai'an has never had a good impression of this kind of crepe thing, but this cup of tea still has a little meaning to drink.

His emotions have always been distinct, Gu Yuanfeng can naturally see his liking, and helped him add another cup: "Five years ago, Ah Li's talent was the best in Kyoto, doesn't Hou Ye know?" ”

"Really? Her female red doesn't seem to work. ”

Chu Huai'an drank tea and replied casually, Gu Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Su Li, but saw Su Li with her head down, her expression was faint: "In terms of female redness, of course, my eldest sister is better." ”

Su Li's eldest sister is Su Bangyue, the concubine who has just won the dragon heir.

The foreign ministers were not allowed to criticize the harem concubines in private, Gu Yuanfeng did not interject, and there was no way to continue the topic here.

Chu Huai'an played with the cup in his hand, and after a while, his gaze fell on Gu Yuanfeng's cuff, where a small corner was revealed, as if some paper was hidden.

With a slight frown, Chu Huai'an leaned over and grabbed the corner with quick movements.

The drawings with the patterns were displayed in front of him, and with just one glance, Chu Huai'an knew what Su Li had just said to Gu Yuanfeng in the house.

"Yo, isn't this the official uniform of the MIA? How could Master Gu have drawings hidden in his sleeve? ”

Chu Huai'an asked knowingly, obviously Gu Yuanfeng was asking, but his eyes looked at Su Li meaningfully.

"I'm a little curious about this style, and I happened to meet Mr., so I asked him to answer my questions."

Su Li replied that she didn't want Chu Huai'an to hold Gu Yuanfeng because of this matter.

"I see, that's really troublesome Lord Gu."

Chu Huai'an nodded, stretched out his hand and tore the drawing to shreds and threw it into the teapot: "Since Ah Li has signed the deed of sale, that is the person from my Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, if there is anything you don't understand in the future, it's better to ask me!" ”

Chu Huai'an made a pun, not only to keep Su Li and Gu Yuanfeng at a distance, but also to accept her previous affairs.

He will help her with the embezzlement of military salaries!

With Chu Huai'an's help, Su Li naturally wouldn't involve Gu Yuanfeng again, and immediately said happily: "Thank you, Master Hou!" ”

The excitement between the words was extremely sincere, and it fell lightly in Gu Yuanfeng's ears, and his dark eyes were overshadowed by a layer of loss.

"It's great that Ah Li can be taken care of by the Hou Ye, so the officials are relieved."

He used honorifics, and there was already a sense of estrangement between his words, Su Li was like a fish in his throat, but Chu Huai'an still refused to give up

"What is there to worry about Lord Gu, although you pretended to be deaf and dumb five years ago, my little pear is not an ungrateful person, yesterday she also specially selected a good cloud smoke ink for you, and I will let someone send it to the adult's mansion later!"

"No need, the lower officials are meager, pen and ink are just writing tools, so you don't need to be so particular."

Gu Yuanfeng refused with a smile, got up and saluted Chu Huai'an: "Xiaguan suddenly remembered that there were still some things to deal with, so he left first!" ”

Gu Yuanfeng's state when he said this was obviously wrong, Su Li wanted to catch up, and as soon as he took a step, Chu Huai'an's voice sounded lazily: "If you dare to step out of this door, what Ben Hou said just now will not count!" ”

Bu Zisheng paused, hesitated for a moment, Su Li decisively closed the door and returned to Chu Huai'an: "Has Master Hou decided to help me?" ”

Chu Huai'an knocked the teapot carelessly with an empty cup, making a jingling crunch: "I just won't report you for the time being, as for whether to help or not, how to help, it depends on what plan you have!" If you want to check like a headless fly, you won't be accompanied! ”

"The grain transport envoy is subordinate to the Ministry of War, and the squire of the Ministry of War must be inseparable, but it is impossible for a small squire to swallow a large amount of military salary without anyone finding out, there must be someone behind him, can Master Hou have a way for me to meet the squire of the Ministry of War?"

The forces behind the embezzlement of military salaries are bound to be complicated, but as long as you catch one, it is not difficult to touch the melon.

"Gollum~"

The teacup came out of his hand, rolled around the table a few times, and came to a stop on the edge of the table.

Chu Huai'an raised his eyes to look at Su Li, hooked his lips and smiled evilly: "It's not that there is no way, but the master has a request." ”

"What?"

"I want a picture of mother and son!"

The peace of mother and child is a custom formed when the Yuanzhao Kingdom was first founded.

At that time, the first monarch was extremely fond of the queen, but the queen was weak since childhood, and in the early stages of pregnancy, she almost slipped several times, and the child was three months later the doctor diagnosed that the child and the queen could only keep one of them, and the king was furious and wanted to kill the imperial doctor, at this time someone played a home remedy.

The home remedies said that as long as the queen is related by blood, the sister uses blood to make a pregnancy picture for the queen, named the mother and child peace map, and then sent to the temple to ask the monks to chant the scriptures every day, and the mother and child can be safe on the day of delivery.

At that time, the monarch adopted this home remedy, and the queen gave birth safely, which was widely circulated for a while, but later caused a lot of disputes and tragedies, and when the first emperor succeeded to the throne, he had expressly banned this side.

Su Li didn't expect Chu Huai'an to do this for Su Bangyue.

"What's the matter, you want your master to risk his life to help you, and he won't even help with this little thing?"

"No, when will Master Hou want it?"

Su Li asked, Chu Huai'an touched his chin and thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry, first copy the Buddhist scriptures and go to the palace, I haven't seen you for five years, I'm afraid that you don't paint like it, if it doesn't work, it's not good." ”

“…… Be! ”

Su Li nodded, and Su Wanyue's weak face appeared in her mind.

That is the nightmare that Su Li has been haunting for the past five years, engraved into the bone marrow, and will never be forgotten!

Since returning to the Hou Mansion that day, Chu Huai'an has lost a bunch of Buddhas passing by, and instructed Su Li not to go out at will.

Su Li didn't dare to brush his will, and obediently stayed in the house to copy the Buddhist scriptures.

The chilblain medicine Gu Yuanfeng gave her last time was excellent, the frostbite on her hands had already ended, Yue Yan also asked the guys in the medical hall to send the medicine, and after drinking a few pairs, the whiplash on her back also began to heal and scab.

After about three or five days, Chu Huai'an appeared in front of Su Li again.

He must have just come back from outside, covered in cold, but he was radiant and handsome.

"Master Hou!"

Su Li said hello, put down the pen unhurriedly, and took the half-copied page of the paper aside to dry.

Chu Huai'an glanced at the scriptures first, and saw that more than half of them had been copied, his eyebrows rose again, and he took Su Li's hand without hesitation and said, "Seeing that you are so obedient, the master will take you to a fun place today!" ”

"What's the best place?"

Su Li was a little curious, Chu Huai'an usually made some friends with wine and meat, most of these people were gentle, but it was best to find out the news.

Knowing what she was thinking, Chu Huai'an deliberately sold Guanzi: "When you arrive, you will know, change your clothes for your master first!" ”

"Yes!"

Because of his happy mood, Chu Huai'an chose a royal blue brocade robe, with a finger-wide red placket on the collar, which made him more and more handsome and extraordinary.

Chu Huai'an was very satisfied with this outfit, turned around twice in front of the bronze mirror, and saw that Su Li was wearing the set of clothes that Sizhu had lent her before, and frowned slightly: "Didn't I let you dress up as a man in the future?" ”

“……”

Su Li changed into navy blue men's clothes before following Chu Huai'an out, and when she arrived at the gate, she didn't see the carriage she used for daily travel, but the little maid brought two tall horses.

"Master Hou wants to go out of the city?"

Su Li was puzzled, Chu Huai'an didn't answer, walked to a red and brown horse with a pinch of white hair on his eyebrows, the little guy retreated with great eyes, Chu Huai'an grabbed the saddle, kicked on the soles of his feet, his body was volleyed, his clothes were drawn in the air in an elegant arc, and he got on the horse with handsome movements.

Grabbing the reins of the horse, Chu Huai'an turned his head to look at Su Li: "Brother Lixian Xian, how is the action of the master on the horse?" ”

"Hou Ye's appearance of heaven and man, no one can match!"

Su Li is as good as a fart, but Chu Huai'an's action when he just got on the horse is very beautiful, if he is seen by other women in Kyoto, he is afraid that he will lose his soul.

But for Su Li, who has been in the Zhenbei Army for five years, this action is a bit flashy.

On the battlefield, no one is in the mood to appreciate such an action, and perhaps someone will die in the blink of an eye, and no matter how beautiful the action is, it is not as useful as simply being quick.

After receiving the compliment, Chu Huai'an was quite proud, but saw Su Li walking to another black horse, grasping the saddle with both hands, stepping on the stirrup, borrowing the skill to flip lightly and get on the horse, almost at the moment of getting on the horse, she lightly pinched the horse's belly, and the black horse ran up with the horse's hooves clicking.

She did this movement very smoothly, and it seemed simple, but it actually required a lot of skill, not only to ensure that she was stable at the moment of sitting on the horse's back, but also to control the strength to drive the horse forward so as not to fall off.

Even the best groom in Kyoto may not be able to be as agile as her.

Chu Huai quietly looked at Su Li's back, remembering her timidity and anxiety when she nestled in his arms many years ago and first learned to ride a horse.

He had taught her a day of riding, but before she could learn it, he turned around and went to Yangzhou, spending a lot of money to find more than a dozen extremely precious epiphany, just because someone casually said in front of him that he wanted to see the short-lived wonder.

He didn't teach Su Li to ride a horse, so who did she nest in and learn such exquisite riding skills?

The famous general on the edge of the town?

The suburban horse farm that Chu Huai'an took Su Li to.

When they arrived, the racecourse was already lively, there were two sons of white and gray racing horses in the racecourse, and many other women cheering and shouting beside them, which was quite a bit of a spring hunt.

As soon as she arrived at the racecourse, Su Li got off the horse, these are all people with status and status, Su Li doesn't dare to ride in like this now.

Seeing her dismount, the people waiting on the side immediately stepped forward: "Can this son's good horse be stored in the stable first?" ”

"Thank you! I just fed it before I came, so I don't have to feed it anymore, and growing too fat will affect my foot strength. ”

Su Li inertly advised, wait for someone to take the horse away before coming back to his senses, this is Kyoto, there is no chaos, swords and swords, even if this horse is fat into a ball, it will not affect anything.

was a little stunned, his wrist suddenly tightened, and the next moment, his body was in the air, and the person had steadily fallen into the man's generous arms.

The horse under him trotted up because of this change, and Chu Huaian hugged her with one hand, and grabbed the reins of the horse with one free hand.

"Master Hou, what are you doing?"

Chu Huai'an replied to the question, raised his eyebrows and asked: "You are the master's person, what is the reason for coming to the horse farm but storing the horse in the stable?" ”

"Su Li is afraid that she will collide with the nobles and cause trouble for the Hou Ye."

Su Li replied, her eyelashes trembling slightly, she had ridden a horse with someone in the past five years, but when she approached this person, she would always easily mess up her mind.

"What are you afraid of!"

Chu Huai'an grabbed Su Li's shoulders, picked her up and turned her over, turning into a state where the two of them hugged each other and rode a horse together.

He grabbed the reins of the horse, and his slender arms wrapped her in his arms, his graceful chin resting on her white ears, the heat driving away the cold and burning her ears crimson.

"Even if you cause a lot of trouble, you can also protect your life!"

Chu Huai'an said this in Su Li's ear firmly, and as soon as he raised the horsewhip, the red and brown horses rushed into the racecourse like lightning.

"Ah, who is that, why did you rush in all of a sudden?"

The woman in the viewing area exclaimed, and everyone's eyes were attracted to the two on the red and brown horses.

The race was already deadlocked, but the addition of the red and brown horses broke the balance and easily crossed the barrier to the finish line.

After playing the limelight, Chu Huaian was very satisfied, took Su Li off the horse, and waited for the two of them leisurely.

A moment later, the two gray horses arrived almost at the same time, pulled the reins, and the two of them, one white and one gray, immediately turned over and dismounted and bowed down.

"Xiaguan An Jue, meet Master Hou!"

"Xiaguan Zhao Qi, meet Master Hou!"

Both of them are military attachés, and they speak sonorously and powerfully, which makes Su Li have the illusion of returning to the Zhenbei military camp.

"Get up, I just saw that the two adults were racing very well, and I couldn't help but rush in for a while, the two adults shouldn't mind!" Chu Huai'an explained with a smile.

"Master Hou is serious, and the two of us are also joking."

An Jue took the initiative to reply, and it could be seen that his official rank should be higher than Zhao Qi.

Although both of them wear riding clothes, An Jue still has ornaments around his waist, and the jade crown on his head that binds his hair also has patterns, which shows that he has a good background.

There are not many families with the surname 'An' in the capital, and Su Li has the impression that only the maiden family of An Ruolan, the side concubine who married into the palace with Su Bangyue, can be regarded as a big family.

It's just that I don't know if this Prince An Jue has any relationship with that side concubine.

After looking at An Jue, Su Li's gaze fell on Zhao Qi.

He only had an ordinary purse around his waist and only a strip of cloth tied to his hair, but without the panic when he met again in the hospital that day, his whole person's bearing was completely different from that of the honest country man five years ago.

If the nucleus is still there......

Su Li fell into deep thought, forgetting to look away, and then attracted An Jue's attention.

"Master Hou has always been alone, why did he bring such a young man with pink carving today?"

Su Li, the little boy with pink carving and jade, was looked at by the master of the MI, Lord Wei, Chi Guoguo, his black eyes first turned timidly, and suddenly took a small step back, hiding behind the free-robe in brocade and red shirts, and stretched out his slender fingertips to grab the sleeve of a certain marquis.

She did this series of actions very naturally, like a timid and innocent rabbit who was not familiar with the world, and people who were not familiar with her were deceived.

However, Chu Huai'an, who knew that she was acting, tensed her body at the moment when her sleeves were caught.

This little gesture of asking for protection brushed the tip of his heart like a bird feather, itching and trembling.

"Ahem!"

Chu Huai'an coughed lightly twice to hide his embarrassment: "Since she follows me, she is my person, does An Zhuwei have an opinion?" ”

This is all blatantly protected, who else dares to have an opinion?

An Jue hurriedly bowed his hand and apologized: "It's the recklessness of the lower officials, please calm your anger!" ”

This Fang An Jue just apologized, but Zhao Qi, who was standing beside him, kept staring at Su Li, straightened his back and said stiffly: "The humble position is slightly the same as what Lord Wei sees, the little boy next to Hou Ye is too petite, obviously a woman, and looking at his appearance, he is very similar to the third lady who was lost in Shangshu Mansion five years ago!" ”

Zhao Qi's voice was not loud, but his tone was not speculation, but full of certainty.

Su Li and he were not very familiar with him five years ago, but because of the nucleus, they were very impressed with each other.

He came to the hospital in a panic that day, so he didn't notice Su Li, and when he took a photo like this today, he would naturally recognize it, but Su Li didn't expect Zhao Qi to be so straightforward about his identity.

"Oh? Vice Wei doesn't say that I don't think I think so, it's really similar when I say this. ”

An Jue touched her chin and looked at Su Li again: "Back then, the third lady of Shangshu Mansion was talented and not inferior to men, and she was stunning in Beijing, many studios have copied her portrait, and Xia Guan was fortunate to have one, but when I saw it today, her style was far better than the person in the painting!" ”

Su Li had never seen An Jue, but she knew what the portrait he was talking about was.

Shangshufu has a strict family education, and she rarely goes out of the house on a regular day, and even if she goes out, she will wear a hat and a hat, and she will never show her head easily.

Only when she was robbed by gangsters, she was knocked unconscious three days later, and she was thrown at the gate of Shangshu Mansion in disheveled, so everyone in the city knew that she was out of order in the bandits' den and became a laughing stock.

At that time, she was only fifteen, although she learned a lot of knowledge from Gu Yuanfeng, her mind was still immature, and after this kind of incident, she panicked, felt shameless, and locked herself in the room without leaving the house.

After a few days, the servant who came to bring her food always stared at her with a strange look, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she followed the servant to find out, and found that they were circulating an unsightly picture album.

The woman in the album is dissolute, wearing revealing clothes, and her behavior is even more shameful, and someone actually insulted her in the picture of the Spring Palace!

At that time, she was dizzy, and when she pulled off the pearl hairpin on her head, she scuffled with those subordinates.

Later, the books in the house were all searched and burned, but Su Li knew that I don't know how many more such albums were circulated in the world.

She was completely ruined, and her grandmother and father were very aware of this fact, so in order to prevent her from humiliating the family again, that night, they decided to find Mr. Feng Shui to see the day, and sank her in the pond!

Five years have long passed, but the sordid speculation has not subsided.

An Jue mentioned that this portrait may just be an inconsequential joke, but when it fell on Su Li's ear, it was like being stabbed invisibly, and no one would find out how deep the wound was and how happy the blood was.

"There is a portrait of the third lady of the Su family in the mansion of An Zhuwei?"

Chu Huai'an raised his head slightly, his eyes were a little surprised.

Chu Huai'an has a small amount of energy, and everyone knows that he has a temperament that will be repaid, and An Jue naturally knows that he was dismissed by Su Li from the dowry five years ago, and immediately said with a smile: "In addition to the portraits, there are many albums in Xiaguan, if Hou Ye is interested, Xia Guan will send someone to Hou Ye to send to the mansion later!" ”

"In this way, the young master wants to take a look at Lord Xie An?"

Chu Huai'an said with a smile on his face, as if he was pleased, An Jue thought that he liked it, and there was a hint of pride in his eyebrows: "It's good if Master Hou likes it, and the lower officials don't dare to thank ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked hard in the chest, and the smile on Chu Huai'an's face instantly turned into a monstrous roar: "Lao Tzu thank you ancestor!" ”

Chu Huai'an used all his strength, An Jue was kicked to the ground, Chu Huai'an was still angry, and rushed up to make up for two kicks.

The accident happened too quickly, and by the time Zhao Qi reacted, An Jue already had two bruises on his face.

"Master Hou, please stop your anger!"

Zhao Qi didn't dare to pull Chu Huai'an, so he could only half-squat in front of An Jue to help him block two feet.

The others didn't know what was going on here, and they all stretched their necks and watched curiously, for fear of causing some big trouble, Su Li rushed over and hugged Chu Huai'an: "Master Hou, calm down!" ”

Chu Huai'an is still angry, where can Su Li stop him?

Zhao Qi and An Jue were kicked several times before Chu Huai'an stopped, easily broke away from Su Li, hugged her into his arms, and looked at the two condescendingly and announced: "The master said five years ago, she is the woman that the master fancies, whether she was robbed by bandits, or if she withdraws the lord's dowry, only the master can bully her, and whoever dares to touch her hair, the master will let whoever can't eat and walk around!" ”

When he said this, his expression was extremely serious, and the innate coercion and fierceness of the royal family were revealed in his bones, so that people did not dare to doubt what he said.

Su Li was hugged and pressed against his chest, obviously through a thick winter coat, but it made people blush and heartbeat more than skin to skin.

Xu has been doing drama for too long to cover up the person who is hiding in the tip of his heart, and this person's drama is good enough to be real.

Su Li was deceived by him five years ago, if he hadn't stepped on the abyss, I'm afraid he would have planted a heel on him again.

"Please forgive Master Hou!"

Zhao Qi helped An Jue kneel down to apologize, Chu Huaian still refused to give up, and was just about to raise his foot and kick again, Su Li took the initiative to hug his waist: "It's just some picture albums, let Lord An burn it, why is Lord Hou so angry?" Could it be that those albums made me look so ugly? ”

Su Li blinked her eyes and pretended to ask relaxedly, the burning of the picture albums in the house that day was very secretive, and even Su Li's second sister Su Zhaoyue didn't know that she had seen those picture albums, and it was even more impossible for others to know.

Sure enough, seeing that Su Li didn't seem to know, Chu Huai'an suppressed his anger and only ordered in a deep voice: "In addition to the Lord Wei Mansion, if there are still people who have such a picture album privately, they will all be arrested and put into Dali Temple, and they will be punished!" ”

After speaking, Chu Huai'an lost the interest of staying here, turned over on the horse, scooped Su Li on the back of the horse as when he came, and the two rode a horse together and rode back.

When I came back, it was almost noon, and the sun was in full bloom, driving away the cold of winter and sprinkling warmth on my body.

When he was about to reach the city gate, Chu Huai'an slowed down and walked slowly like playing in the mountains and rivers.

Su Li has a special identity, although she is dressed in men's clothes, but riding with him like this, it is not good for others to see it.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to let Chu Huai put himself down, his hand was suddenly stuffed into the reins of the horse.

Tilted his head in surprise, and his lips happened to rub against the man's slightly cool chin.

With a shock in her heart, Su Li hurriedly lowered her head, but her waist was firmly clamped.

"Ah Li, let me see your riding skills!"

He whispered in her ear, with an inexplicable sigh in his words, as if he had gone back to years ago when she first learned to ride a horse, and he sat behind her like this and whispered: Ah Li, let me teach you how to ride a horse!

Speechless for a while, she didn't know what to say, Su Li simply grabbed the horse's belly and galloped up.

The official road outside the city is wide, and there are no pedestrians on the road near the New Year's Pass, although it cannot be compared with the vast and boundless Gobi Desert in the north of Saibei, it also makes Su Li ride very freely.

Rushing all the way into the city, Su Li restrained her temperament and slowed down, but she didn't know how bright and moving her wanton and cheerful appearance was in the eyes of others.

His throat tightened slightly, Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li harder, and asked in a muffled voice, "Is your riding technique taught by Lu Ji?" ”

What kind of inexplicable question is this?

Su Li was just about to answer, when a loud cry smashed into her ears: "Wow~ My mother really doesn't want me anymore!" ”

On the bustling street, Su Zhan wore an orange brocade coat and a small felt hat of the same color, sitting on the street like a scoundrel and crying heartbreakingly.

The maid who followed him turned pale with fright, kept comforting Su Zhan, and looked back anxiously from time to time.

Not long after, a luxurious carriage rushed to hear the sound, and there was a striking wooden sign hanging on the edge of the carriage, and the word 'Su' was written vigorously and powerfully.

Nowadays, Shangshufu will take such a carriage to go out, and the people who go out can be counted in a slap.

"Please stay away!"

Before the people in the carriage came out, Su Li broke away from Chu Huai'an and got off the horse.

Su Zhan howled badly, but in fact, he had been secretly observing Su Li, and as soon as Su Li's feet landed, he rushed over like a small cannonball, hugging her legs and not letting go.

"Wow! Mother, why don't you want me anymore? Didn't you say you wanted to stay with me all the time? I've dreamed of you coming back to see me these days. ”

As soon as he hugged Su Li, the little bun that was still pretending to cry immediately squeezed out bean-sized tears.

Saibei is thousands of miles away from Beijing, he only knows Su Li alone, although the people in Shangshu Mansion are very good to him, but Su Li is not there, he is a little child in the end.

The little bun cried uncontrollably, and her chubby little body trembled uneasily, how could Su Li not feel distressed?

"I didn't say I didn't want you, didn't my grandfather and great-grandmother treat you badly?" Su Li took out a handkerchief to help Xiao Baozi wipe her tears, Xiao Baozi was really angry this time, and glared at Su Li with tears in her eyes, complaining silently.

Su Li was softened by him, and pinched his face jokingly: "Why do I look at you as if you have gained weight?" ”

"Humph!"

Xiao Baozi twisted her head to the side arrogantly, but her hand was still holding Su Li tightly.

Su Li picked him up funny, and the luxurious carriage happened to drive in front of her, the carriage stopped, and a maid came out, ignoring Su Li, and only stretched out her hand to Su Zhan: "Little master, everything you want to buy has been bought, let's go back to the house quickly!" ”

"I'm not going back, I want to be with my mother!"

Su Zhan hugged Su Li's neck tightly, and his head rested on her shoulder, making up his mind not to talk to the girl.

The maid frowned in embarrassment, and said a few words to the people in the carriage, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a familiar dignified face came into view.

I haven't seen her for five years, not only is she not old, but she is getting more and more radiant, I think it is the eldest sister Su Bangyue who has become a concubine, and now she is happy with the dragon heir, which makes her happy and worry-free.

"Ali meets her mother!" Su Li hugged Su Zhan's chin and saluted.

Zhao is not Su Li's biological mother, but she is the main mother of Shangshu Mansion, Su Li has grown up under her knees since she was a child, and I heard that Su Li's biological mother was sold to Goolan Yard after giving birth.

"On the day you returned to Beijing, I went into the palace to see Bang Bang, and when I came back, I realized that you were taken away by the Hou Ye, and the whip wound on your back was better?"

Zhao asked softly, his mouth saying words of concern, but his tone was as flat as water.

"Ah Li is not filial, so that her mother is worried, her father is not ruthless, and the whiplash is almost healed."

"Are you still used to living in the Hou Mansion?"

Zhao asked again, knowing that it was not right for her to live in Xiaoyaohou Mansion now, but he didn't mention anything about letting her go back to Shangshu Mansion to live.

"It's fine."

"That'll be fine." After Zhao finished speaking, he smiled with a rare hook of his lips: "Since the child has been sent back to Shangshu Mansion, that is the young master of Shangshu Mansion, he is so clever, he will become a talent in the future, and you can rest assured as a mother." ”

Between the words, it was already necessary to clear up the relationship between Su Li and Su Zhan.

"Mother Lao bothered!"

"That's it!" Patience was exhausted, Zhao raised his voice slightly to end the topic: "It's not early, your grandmother's seventieth birthday in a few days, Bang Wan will come back to celebrate her birthday, now her body is very expensive, I have to go back to the house early to let people prepare things." ”

After saying that, he lowered the curtain and blocked the sight, Su Li only heard Zhao's order with disgust: "Why don't you go and take the little young master back from that woman!" ”

Between the words, it was as if she was something filthy.

"Ah Zhan is obedient, I'll go see you in a few days."

Su Li said something in Su Zhan's ear, and without waiting for the maid to grab it, she took the lead in putting him in the carriage.

Su Zhan is smarter than ordinary children, although he is reluctant, he still obediently lets go of Su Li, and emphasized: "Mother must speak this time!" ”

"Good!"

Su Li nodded, watching Zhao's carriage and horses leave, her heart was a little depressed, Chu Huaian rode to her side, and asked lightly: "Ah Li thinks, what birthday gift should I give this birthday banquet?" ”

Chu Huai'an was riding on a horse, Su Li could only look up at him, perhaps because of the backlight, Su Li saw that the light under his eyes was refracted like a glass cup, as if it was filled with stars.

In that Chenhui, there is someone who makes him want to go crazy......
