Back at the library, the bookstore keeper was being questioned by several guards disguised with knives.

It turned out that the person arranged by Sheng Jingyu found that Almond was missing and was looking for her everywhere in the library.

Several people saw Almond and Fu Jungu and hurriedly saluted.

Almond said with some apologies: "My money bag was stolen just now, and now I have found it." When I buy something, I'll be ready to go. ”

After saying that, Almond found the few things he had been optimistic about before, and took out the silver.

The shopkeeper glanced at Fu Jungu with some hesitation, and was about to reach out to take the silver, but was stopped by him.

"I'll give these things to almonds."

"Then what's the matter, I have the silver, and I can't let you break the bank."

Fu Jungu chuckled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that it just so happens that this bookstore is my family, so I'll give it to you." ”

Hearing this, Almond's mouth opened wide.

This bookstore is located in the most prosperous area of the capital, covering a vast area, and it costs a lot of money to come.

However, the prime minister is in a high position and power, and this bit of industry may only be a drop in the bucket for him.

Almond still wanted to refuse, but Fu Jungu stuffed the things that had been packaged into her hands.

"Didn't I say that? I have a relationship with Almonds, and I treat you as a brother. ”

Almond has always regarded that sentence as a whim of Fu Jungu, who would have thought that he would have kept it in mind, and he was a little ashamed for a while.

"Where can almonds afford ......"

"If you can't afford it, it should be me who has the final say, why should almonds be self-indulgent."

Speaking of which, Almond couldn't refuse anymore, so he only took it with a hot face.

"Also, I said that Almonds can come to me for anything, and I take it seriously."

Almond blinked, a little puzzled why the Prime Minister treated her so well.

Is it really just because she's like his brother?

In short, she wrote down this favor.

"Thank you, Master Fu, that ...... So I went first. ”

Fu Jun looked at her head and watched her leave.

When the people were far away, the squire Meng En asked curiously.

"Childe, is she ......?"

His son-in-law is not a kind person, and it is really strange today.

"An interesting beauty."

Meng En suddenly realized, no wonder, this is like his son-in-law's style.

It's just that I don't know how long this beauty can last under the offensive of Childe?

*

The carriage continued.

Almond's home is relatively remote, and it is still some distance from here.

For some reason, Almond's excitement suddenly became apprehensive, and it intensified as the distance shortened.

It is said that she is timid, and she finally realized what it feels like to be close to home.

It wasn't until a house in disrepair appeared outside the window that Almond finally felt a familiar sense of intimacy.

The carriage stopped, and when she got out of the carriage, she drove not far away to stop and rectify.

Almond looked at the familiar wooden door in front of him, and with excitement, slammed it.

"Why did you come back so early?"

A woman's voice came from inside the room, opening the door as she spoke.

When they saw the people standing outside the door, they couldn't help but have some doubts.

"Who are you looking for?"

She's only been gone for a year, and her mother doesn't know her?

Almond looked down at herself, and then remembered that she was now dressed as a man.

She hurriedly whispered: "Mother! ”

Then he dragged the woman into the house.

The woman looked at her carefully for a moment before exclaiming, "Almonds! ”

As soon as she finished shouting, her eyes turned red.

"Your brother blames us for sending you away, we ...... We have no choice but to do so. ”

Almond's heart softened, and her mother raised her and treated her well.

But her younger brother is in critical condition, and sending her into the palace is also a good idea.

Almond has already figured it out a lot, but she doesn't complain much about her parents.

"Mother, I know, I also want my brother to get better, I ...... I don't blame you. ”

The woman couldn't hold back her tears anymore and hugged her and cried.

"It's good to come back, you must pay attention to safety in the palace."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while, and Almond suddenly remembered Chu Yan.

She looked around the room, but she didn't see Chu Yan's figure.

"Mother, where's my brother?"

"Your brother went to Houshan to pick herbs, he is now an apprentice in the medical hall where he used to treat diseases, and the herbs he picked can be exchanged for some copper coins."

Almonds were aware of it, and suddenly there was movement at the door.

"Mother, who is this?"

The young man's clean voice also has a unique vitality.

Hearing the voice, Almond slowly turned his head to look at the visitor.

I saw that Lu Ran's expressionless face gradually became disbelievable, and the back basket in his hand was thrown on the ground, and he walked towards her step by step in a daze.

When he got closer, he seemed to be sure that she was real, and rushed over to hug her excitedly.

"Sister!"

"Sister, are you back?"

How old is this? It's like a child, like a child, just like a bear hug at every turn.

Almond was helpless, but his heart softened.

She raised her hand and touched the hair of the person in her arms, and said gently.

"Yan'er, I'm back."

Chu Yan's eyes were red, and he only buried his head in her arms and let out a muffled "um".

The sister and brother were close for a while, and Chu Yan finally stopped sticking to her.

Almond had to look at the young man in front of him carefully.

The young man is very sunny and handsome, with handsome facial features, a pair of deer eyes are wet, and he is full of closeness and dependence when he looks at her.

He was very tall, with long hands and feet, but he was a little too thin, and there was no extra meat on his cheeks.

Almond touched his cheek with some distress.

"How did you lose weight?"

Haven't you had enough to eat? Didn't sleep well?

Or is it ...... Was he dragged down by a previous illness?

Her concern was expressed on her face, and looking at her sad appearance, Chu Yan laughed.

"Sister, don't look at me thin, I have muscles."

As he spoke, he boasted up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms.

Almond was also amused, and felt much better.

"Sister, how long can you stay at home this time?"

In fact, he knew that Almond would definitely not stay for long, but he still couldn't help but ask, with a hint of hope in his heart.

"I've got to go back after dinner."

"Ah, so fast."

Chu Yan's face couldn't hide the loss, Almond sighed secretly, and handed him the money bag and the package containing pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

"You take this money well, eat better at home on weekdays, and use the rest for you to study, don't give it to your father to drink. This is the four treasures of the study, you practice calligraphy at home, and you can get fame after reading the book. ”

Chu Yan opened the money bag and package and looked at it, his face full of surprise.

"Sister, you...... Where did you get so much silver? ”

These three words can't be explained clearly, and Almond has to make a long story short.

"I'm serving the emperor now, but as a man, so you must not reveal that I'm a girl. If someone asks, say ...... Let's just say that I just grew up wearing women's clothes. ”

They all knew the seriousness of the problem and nodded cautiously.
