But he was not fooled, and asked with a smile, "Did the master order you to climb the window?" ”

Qiu Yue struggled to stand still, looked up at him, and saw that it was a handsome man, with bright eyebrows and a very uninhibited expression.

She knew that her father had always been fond of recruiting scribes, and that there were often famous scholars or courtiers in the family who came to borrow books, but she did not know who this person was, so she could freely enter and leave her own library during her father's banquets.

She wondered in her heart, and said perfunctorily: "Because the old man guarding the pavilion was drunk, he couldn't call for a long time, and he was afraid that the master would wait for a long time, so he climbed through the window and entered." ”

The old man who guards the pavilion is called Zhang Hao, who is an old servant of his grandfather, and he will save his grandfather's life by fate, so he has a special status in the house. When his grandfather died, he refused to be fostered, and hired himself to take care of the pavilion, and eight or nine out of ten days he was drunk.

She didn't expect that such a lie would not be exposed, and she didn't want this man to be extremely difficult, so she only looked at her condescendingly, and said slowly: "The old servant who guards the pavilion is really drunk, only Lord Zhang's little servant is still waiting outside the door, yes or no, just ask." ”

Qiu Yue panicked at this time, she was in her early teens at the time, her head was no more than the crook of his arm, and she hurriedly pulled his sleeve: "Don't call people, let's tell you the truth, I am the maid of the eldest lady in the house, because of the Li family rules, women are not allowed to enter the book pavilion, so the young lady ordered me to secretly come to pick up the book." If the old lady knows, not only will the young lady be disciplined, but my life will not be guaranteed. ”

After saying that, he raised his head and looked at this person with tears in his eyes.

The man groaned for a moment, his expression seemed to loosen, and just when Qiu Yue secretly exhaled and thought that he was fooling the past, he raised his hand, grabbed the red rope around her neck, and pulled out the jade plate she hung in her clothes.

The jade plaque is made of real Hetian seeds, carved with a picture of Liuyun Baifu, which is very exquisite. This was given by her father when her mother was favored, and because she was weak when she was young, her mother hung it for her to ask for peace.

After her mother passed away, this became her only thought, and it hung on her all the time. As for the jade pendant that was later taken away by Li Wenyu, it was a later story, not here.

The man rubbed the jade plaque with her body temperature, and seemed to smile: "Shangshu Mansion is noble and worthy of its name." Even the maid is priceless. ”

Qiu Yue was recognized by him, and she cried with a flat mouth: "I'm not a little girl, I'm my concubine Li Wenyu, if you tell your father, I will definitely be beaten to death." ”

The man knew that she was exaggerating, but seeing that she was clumsy and cute, and she was so delicate with red eyes, he couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, and asked Wen Yan: "I don't tell you Daddy, what kind of book are you looking for when you venture in?" ”

She shouted: "I came to find Lu Hanlin's "Great Qi Scenery". ”

The man seemed a little surprised, and raised his eyebrows: "At a young age, you actually like such mountains and seas?" As it happens, I have a copy here, and I will give it to you, lest you risk stealing your father's. ”

As he spoke, he casually took out the crumpled old book from his bosom and handed it to her, yawned and said, "Go ahead, the front yard is very noisy, I will rest here for the time being." ”

Saying that, he didn't care about her anymore, sat on the floor with his robe, leaned on the bookcase and pretended to sleep.

Qiu Yue hesitated for a moment, laboriously dragged the ladder to get the book and leaned under the window, and when she climbed out, she couldn't help but look back, and saw him caged sideways in the dark shadow of the bookcase, as if he was asleep.

It was two or three years after we met again........
