"Didn't you become a steward in the dining room?" Yin Lingyuan was really surprised that the person wearing the uniform of the steward eunuch turned out to be a well-off son.

When she first woke up two years ago, it was this little eunuch who was responsible for delivering food to herself, and later, whether it was peaches, vegetables or seeds from Yinghua Palace, they were all exchanged with the outside world.

It wasn't until Wang Meiren made trouble that the queen mother and the emperor arrived, and she was not allowed to sell vegetables anymore, and then partnered with Yin Anlu to open a restaurant, so she didn't use Xiaokangzi anymore.

However, at that time, Xiaokangzi made a lot of money by taking advantage of the affairs of Yinghua Palace, and later heard Baosheng say that he was the housekeeper of the dining room and lived a very nourishing life, why did he come to steal peaches now?

"Minions...... The slave is called lard to cover his heart", Xiaokangzi cried and cried, and talked about the cause of the incident.

Although he has done a small stewardship, but people go to high places, always thinking about promotion, it just so happens that the eunuch in charge of the treasury of the Internal Affairs Office died recently, and Xiaokangzi took the path of the chief steward of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and wants to take this errand, but he needs silver to do it.

He was worried about the silver, the original outside the palace from his hands of the people who had bought peaches came to him, said that he was willing to do business with him, buy peaches at a high price, Xiaokangzi was driven by money, desperate, only to come up with such a way to steal peaches.

Yin Lingyuan really can't cry or laugh, the modern crime of theft also pays attention to the sentencing according to the amount, these people haven't stolen many peaches in total, and they are indeed old acquaintances with this well-off son, taking care of the past, Yin Lingyuan didn't punish these people much, but just warned them not to steal peaches again, and let them go.

Hanlu was a little worried: "What if they come up with other ideas to steal peaches?" ”

Yin Lingyuan pondered, not only the group of people who are well-off, but the peaches are fried outside the palace, the greater the benefits, the greater the courage of the people, the peaches of the Yinghua Palace are so red and grow on the tree, in the eyes of some people, I am afraid that it is no different from the silver that grows a tree, so it is not surprising to take risks for this.

But for a few peaches to shout and kill these thieves, and play a show of killing chickens and monkeys, Yin Lingyuan felt a little too much.

"You can set up an anti-thief formation." coldly, Yu Ze's voice sounded in his head, which made Yin Lingyuan sturdy and startled.

To be honest, she hasn't had this kind of frightened experience for a long time, because someone has done too much in Zhihai, so that although Yin Lingyuan knows that she can talk to him during the day, she is shy and doesn't talk to Yu Ze very much, and the other party has been quiet, until she said a sentence coldly at this moment, which really made her a little unbearable.

"What...... What formation? Yin Lingyuan gathered his mind and pretended to ask very calmly.

"In ancient times, many cultivators with average qualifications were indispensable for the improvement of cultivation", Yu Ze said in the same tone, "Finished pills are expensive and scarce, and many casual cultivators would rather grow their own spiritual herbs to refine pills, and in order to prevent theft, they often add formation prohibitions around their own spiritual fields. ”

Yin Lingyuan became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Yu Ze how to arrange the formation and if he could teach it to himself.

Yu Ze brought it up to teach her, the formation is different according to the cultivation of the person who arranges the formation, and the power is not the same, some of the major repairs with high spiritual power, the arranged formation can directly strangle the thief.

However, with Yin Lingyuan's current cultivation, at most, he found that the thief could send her information in time.

After listening to his explanation, Yin Lingyuan diverged his thinking and added a bell to the formation, and the thief rang the bell when he triggered the formation, reminding the palace guards that it seemed more reasonable.

Yu Ze agreed.

In the next few days, Yin Lingyuan was pouring her formation, in the past, the formation was based on spirit stones, but now there is no such thing at all, it just happens that the cherry blossom palace is surrounded by peach trees, and these peach trees have a certain aura because they are watered by spiritual spring water all year round.

Yu Ze commanded Yin Lingyuan to choose a few large peach trees according to the direction of the gossip, and carved talismans on the bottom of the torso of the peach trees, and a simple anti-theft formation was laid out.

Others are not difficult, but the carved talismans are really difficult for Yin Lingkite, 8 various circles of graphics, but also a stroke of drawing, in Yin Lingkite's opinion, are almost the same as ghost talismans.

Yu Ze taught her hand-in-hand in Zhihai for several days, and then found an excuse to "bully people".

"Here", Yu Ze pointed to the tail of one of the talismans and said, "It should be an upward pick, you turned into a downward bend, and here, here......"

He pointed out several places in a row, and every time he picked out a place, Yin Lingyuan couldn't help but shudder, because every mistake was a reason for Yu Ze's "punishment", and as for the way of punishment, it was naturally "double cultivation".

Because Yu Ze said that double cultivation improves cultivation, and cultivation improves cultivation, so that the talisman can be drawn better.

It took several days of tossing and turning for the dead and alive before she finally finished drawing these talismans, and then carved them into the roots of the peach tree in their original form.

During this period, Qi Ye came to see her, Yin Lingyuan mentioned the matter of the eldest brother by the way, and Qi Ye pondered for a moment and agreed.

Zhong Xiu Palace set up a banquet, Concubine Yu entertained her brother, and Qi Ye also sat at the table, but he only ate the beginning and left, knowing that the two brothers and sisters had something to say, so they left early.

However, although others left, the conversation between the brother and sister will still fall into his ears word for word, which is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

Let's say that in the main hall of Zhongxiu Palace, only Yin Lingyuan and his brother are left.

"In the past few days, it has been rumored that the eldest brother has brought back a girl surnamed Bai from Northern Xinjiang, and she has a deep affection for the eldest brother, what is going on, can the eldest brother tell me about it?" Yin Lingyuan asked directly.

If she hadn't dared to ask like this before, but in the private room of the Cyclamen Building, she talked to her eldest brother and understood more and more that Yin Annian's cold and hard appearance was a gentle heart, so she was fearless.

Yin Annian also sighed slightly when he mentioned this, compared to the usual calm and sophisticated demeanor, Yin Lingyuan saw a trace of helplessness and entanglement on his face for the first time: "I did know her in Mobei City, but it was just ......"

What I heard from the mouth of the eldest brother was another version of the story.

When Mobei City suffered a snow disaster, Yin Annian was ordered to come back to check the situation and provide disaster relief, and many people in the city knew him and knew that he was a general under General Xie - the army, and he came to save them.

At that time, he was directing the construction of a military tent, and Bai Lianxiang, who sold herself to save her brother, saw it and took the initiative to run over and hug his leg and beg him to save his brother's life.

Yin Annian came back to save people, and when he saw that Bai Changhe was injured and dying, he naturally would not sit idly by, and immediately ordered the accompanying military doctor to treat him.

But because of the delay for too long, Bai Changhe's bad leg could no longer be cured, and his life was saved, but he was also left with a lifelong disability.

In fact, in that situation at that time, whether there was Bai Lianxiang or not, Yin Annian would save him when he saw it, but Bai Lianxiang insisted on selling himself to follow Yin Annian because Yin Annian saved his brother.

Yin Annian was stationed on the border with the army, so naturally he couldn't bring a woman, so he refused at that time, and saw that their old mother was pitiful, so he gave some broken silver to take good care of it.

This was just a small episode in the disaster relief, Yin Annian didn't pay attention to it at all, who knew that not long after the disaster, he met the white lotus fragrance again.

"At that time, she was being entangled by a few little hooligans, and I passed by and rescued her", Yin Annian said, "Who knew that she recognized me and insisted on following me as a slave." ”

Yin Lingyuan pouted: "Then the eldest brother accepted her?" ”

"Nope." Yin Annian said, "Since I am in the military camp, how can I have maids and slaves to serve me." ”

But Bai Lianxiang refused to give up, she knelt in front of Yin Annian and cried, saying that her brother was disabled, there was only one old lady left in the family, and her life was really unbearable, and Yin Annian saved her brother at the beginning, that is, she bought her, she was willing to be a cow and a horse, and serve Yin Annian.

In the end, Yin Annian couldn't resist her crying, and arranged an errand for her crippled brother Bai Changhe to work in the rear of the army.

Chopping firewood, feeding horses or something every day, although Bai Changhe wasted a leg, it is not difficult to do, and the people below know that he was arranged by General Yin, and they are willing to take care of one or two, so as to exchange some silver money to supplement the family.

However, Bai Lianxiang "encountered" Yin Annian many times in the name of visiting her brother, and when she saw it, Ai Ai told her for a while, and finally directly expressed her heart, saying that she was in love with him.

Of course, just like what she said in front of the Yu family, she knew that her status was low, and she would rather take care of Yin Anqi as a slave and a maid, and she didn't ask for anything beside her.

Many sergeants stationed in northern Xinjiang have married their daughters-in-law in Mobei City and settled down, and they can go home to reunite when they are on vacation.

What Bai Lianxiang said about being a slave and a maid is to go to the general-military government to serve.

Maybe she really wanted to be a slave and maid to repay her kindness at the beginning, but as she followed Yin Annian to the imperial capital, she slowly discovered that the relationship between Yin Annian and General Xie Jun was not just as simple as a master and apprentice.

How did Bai Lianxiang find out about the whereabouts of the Yu family, and what kind of idea did she have in front of the carriage, Yin Lingyuan had no way of knowing, she just wanted to know if Yin Annian had any thoughts about Bai Lianxiang.

She thought so in her heart, so she asked too.

Yin Annian shook his head almost without thinking: "No, it was just a gesture to help her at the beginning, and I didn't have the slightest affection for her." ”

"In that case, why did the eldest brother bring people back to the imperial capital again?" Yin Lingyuan asked.

"I didn't bring her back", Yin Annian smiled bitterly, "It was she who followed the team back by herself, and she was dying when she was found, and she almost didn't die on the road." ”
