"What did the old man say?"

Li Yan exchanged a few polite words with Mrs. Zhen, and the two sat down one after another.

The Zhen Mansion served extremely carefully, and the maids and servants were busy going in and out, the freshly hot soju, the snacks in the basket drawer, and the large sauce skeleton...... Soon the table was filled.

This old lady is also a well-informed woman, and she never asks about the ins and outs of Li Yan's errand, but only talks to Li Yan about customs and customs, or what she has seen and heard about serving as an official in her husband's family in the past.

Cha Xiaodao occasionally responded to two sentences, Cao Yongchang buried his head in eating, and when he was full, he rested on the corner of the chair, although he took advantage of a few words at the door, but he was really tired.

Li Yan chatted with Mrs. Zhen very much, and the atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious, and inadvertently, Li Yan mentioned the lady of Zhen Guanren.

The old lady immediately replied: "My sister Yu was infected with a cold a few days ago, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so don't be surprised by the general." ”

The jade sister in Mrs. Zhen's mouth is her daughter-in-law, and Sister Yu is her name.

When Li Yan heard this, he stopped the topic.

Unconsciously, the night was already late, and Mrs. Zhen asked the maid to clean two tiled houses early, one of the larger ones was reserved for Li Yan, and the other smaller one was for Cha Xiaodao and Cao Yongchang's uncle and nephew to live in.

Cao Yongchang, who had never spoken, listened to the arrangement, but got up and bowed deeply to Mrs. Zhen: "Old lady Wan'an, the boy's surname is Cao, a person from Nantong, I don't understand a question, and I want to ask Mrs. for advice." ”

Cao Yongchang was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and his words were also very polite, looking a little sick, and even more lovable. Old Madam Zhen replied with a smile: "The little boy has something to say. ”

Cao Yongchang pointed to the calligraphy and painting in front of the hall: "What does this mean?" ”

Mrs. Zhen glanced back, and the block script on the wall was "If there is something, you can lift it, and if you don't, you can go down", which is the word of her husband before his death, and the old lady said: "This sentence is from "Mozi", the whole sentence is that the official is impermanent, and the people are not cheap, if there is any, it can be lifted, and if there is none, it can be lowered. ”

"That's it."

Cao Yongchang spread his hands and looked at Mrs. Zhen pitifully: "The officials are impermanent, and the people are not cheap." How could Madame be kind to one over the other, and tell General Li to sleep in the big room, and my uncle and nephew to squeeze the smaller house? ”

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In front of Li Yan, Mrs. Zhen couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment, but then she smiled: "You little doll is in a hurry, but this temperament is too sharp, okay, I'll clean an ordinary big house for you to live in, so it's okay, right?" ”

Cha Xiaodao stretched out his hand and rubbed Cao Yongchang's head vigorously: "Madame, don't see the truth, my nephew has been spoiled since he was a child." I don't know what to do. After that, he said to Cao Yongchang with a straight face: "Don't apologize to others soon." ”

Asked Cha Xiaodao to mention the back of his neck, Cao Yongchang lost his spirit, and repeatedly scolded Mrs. Zhen: "The kid is reckless and rude by nature, don't be surprised by the old lady, don't be like a child like me." ”

"It's okay~"

Old Madam Zhen smiled: "It doesn't take much work, and besides, the old body is not well prepared." ”

The old lady really didn't take it seriously, and asked the maid and servant to clean the room again, seeing that Cao Yongchang's face was not good, and specially instructed the maid to cook a bowl of ginger syrup for Cao and send it to the house.

When the maid sent the ginger syrup, saying that the old lady saw that the little boy's face was not good, she specially instructed Cao Yongchang to get up.

"If someone can stay with us for one night, that's love, if you don't keep us, it's also your duty, how can you pick and choose?"

Cha Xiaodao also learned to be an elder, and said to Cao Yongchang on the fire kang.

Cao Yongchang took a sip of hot ginger syrup, grinned at the knife, and didn't return the mouth.

"Besides, if there is no Li Yan's waist card, people will not be so polite, and he should live older."

Cha Xiaodao just said it in passing, but Cao Yongchang flattened his mouth: "Uncle is a thorough skill, an ordinary person with the naked eye, and he knows the true Buddha by mistake." ”

Halfway through his words, he felt that talking like this was suspected of provoking the relationship between Li and Li, so he changed his words and said: "Besides, although I, Cao Yongchang, am young, I am determined to do a career that has passed through the heavens and the earth, and I will treat everyone equally, even if I can sleep in the cowshed and horse pen, if I look down on me, it is not uncommon for gold and jade teeth to be bored." ”

He spoke loudly, but he didn't put down the hot sugar water in his hand, and his little mouth crackled and drank deliciously.

Cha Xiaodao shook his head, and he was not reprimanding him, Cao Yongchang wandered thousands of miles alone, and many concepts were not clear overnight, not to mention that Cha Xiaodao was not disgusted with such a temper.

In fact, although Cao Yongchang recognized Cha as his uncle, he was not intimate with Li Yan's senses, but Cha Xiaodao understood that Li Yan liked Cao Yongchang more than himself, and maybe there were similarities in the personalities of these two people.

……

"Ahh

Li Yan soaked his hands in a copper basin filled with hot water, but sneezed for no reason.

"The general is infected with the cold, I asked the kitchen to bring a bowl of ginger syrup."

The one who fetched Li Yan hot water was a delicate little girl in white clothes, with big eyes and watery eyes who could talk.

There are more than a dozen maids in the house, and this girl, together with the green-clothed maid during the day, is the two most beautiful and the most favored, and usually sleeps with the old lady.

"No, no, you go and rest."

Li Yan took off his armor, wore a sweatshirt, and shook his head at the white-clothed maid.

"This box ......"

The maid stretched out her delicate hand and wanted to move the scarlet sword box on the chair.

"Little lady, don't move."

Li Yan made a sound to stop him, although his voice was light, it was extremely penetrating, which frightened the maid.

"This is a military priority, don't touch it."

The maid nodded cautiously: "That~ The general sleeps well, if there is any need, he will inform the slave family." ”

"I'm tired of the little lady."

Li Yan watched the little girl leave with the hot water basin, took the vermilion sword box in his wide palm and put it on the bed, took off his boots, pillowed the sword box behind his head, and fell into a deep sleep.

Outside the door, there was a faint sound of girls biting their ears.

"Your little hooves are greasy and crooked in it and refuse to come out, I'm afraid that I don't fall in love with Li Zhenfu and dream of being Mrs. Zhenfu?"

"Dead girl, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm talking nonsense? Look at the way you looked just now, I'm afraid that if someone Li Zhen stroked his fingers, you would have to stick it on the whole person. Woohaha, don't, don't pinch, let go, let go......"

Li Yan, who was pillowing the sword box, turned over and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning.

The footsteps of the servants were chaotic, followed by human voices, shouts, and chaos.

Li Yan, who was woken up, pushed open the door and went out, and the people in the house were all six gods and no owners, like headless flies, Li Yan grabbed one casually and asked about the situation.

This morning, Mrs. Zhen's room was silent, and when someone pushed the door in, she found that Mrs. Zhen and the two maids who served her had fallen to death by the window, and the body was cold when she found it......
