Lan Ya felt a coolness on her head, and she was a little sober, stroked her drowsy head, rubbed her temples, opened her eyes, and was startled by a magnified face in front of her, and suddenly sat up.

Her head hit the bedpost again, and she grinned.

The owner of the face straightened up, and withdrew a handkerchief in his hand, guessing from the coolness of the handkerchief, it should be wrapped in crushed ice, and the person who came used it to make Lan Ya wake up quickly.

Lan Ya looked at the person in front of her suspiciously, this was a woman who was nearly fifty years old, her hair was gray, but she was meticulously combed, and her hair was slanted in a bun, and only a jade hairpin was inserted on it.

Seeing that Lan Ya woke up, the old woman smiled and said, "Little girl, are you awake?" Panicked? Wake up, think about it, do you still recognize me? ”

Lan Ya rubbed her head vigorously, and found that no matter how she rubbed it, she was also blank about last night's events, and sneered: "How can you not remember, you are old and kind, how can I not recognize you, you are the grandmother of Young Master Zhuo ---- Zhuo, the first princess of Nanxiao." ”

The old woman shook her head lightly, waved her hand and said, "What Princess Nanxiao, it's all a passing yellow flower, and it's gone, just call me the old lady." ”

Lan Ya nodded shyly, and her heart was like a drum2, wondering how she had run halfway up the mountain and why the old woman had used ice to wake her up.

The old woman was very uncomfortable when she saw Lan Ya scratching her ears and cheeks, as if she had countless lice on her body, pressed Lan Ya's palm, and said kindly: "I am old, Ran'er is always afraid that I will be frozen, and the whole yard and house are baked like a stove, which makes my heart hot and panicked, I let Ran'er go to the river to collect more ice, store it in the ice cellar, and wait until the day is hot or the heart is hot to eat, even to give some cool side dishes to go and the heart is also good." ”

Lan Ya nodded in a daze, shook her head apprehensively and said, "Old lady, you can't eat anything too cold when you're old, especially ice cubes." ”

The old lady nodded gratefully, heard the sound of the cars and horses outside, and hurriedly got up and said, "Don't tell Xiao Ran that I've been here, he will be embarrassed." ”

After saying that, the old lady slipped away like a cunning rabbit, leaving Lan Ya still confused.

The door was pushed open again, and Lan Ya hurriedly grabbed the quilt and covered her face all over her head, leaving only a gap to look out.

Xiao Ran entered the room lightly, standing in front of Lan Ya's couch, with a melancholy face, as if muttering to herself: "How can a nine-year-old girl drink." ”

Seeing that Lan Ya didn't show the slightest sign of waking up, he hurriedly called Zhuo Liu in and said, "Zhuo Liu, before the little girl wakes up, you send her back to the halfway up the mountain...... No, it will be delivered directly to Yu's house in the village...... No, no, it's not good for her reputation, so I'm still sent to Yu's house in the middle of the mountain, I heated the kang, and tied the door of the house and the courtyard, so as not to let the beast in. ”

Zhuo Liu said with a bitter face: "Young master, bolt the door and the courtyard door from the inside, subordinates, how can you get out?" Do you steal holes like a rat? ”

Xiao Ran's eyes stood up, and he said angrily: "I don't care if you crawl out of the chimney or from the mouse hole, in short, I can't let the little girl know that she spent the night in Zhuo's Mansion." ”

Zhuo Liu walked to the couch with a gloomy face, lifted the quilt, Lan Ya slept with her clothes closed, Lan Ya was so nervous that she hugged a pillow, her eyes were closed, and she even forgot to breathe.

Zhuo Liu bent down and reached out to pick up Lan Ya, Xiao Ran hurriedly shouted behind him: "You, you just hold her like this?" ”

Zhuo Liu was stunned for a long time, and then nodded.

Xiao Ran shook his head like a rattle and said, "It's cold outside, it's going to catch a cold." ”

Zhuo Liu nodded clearly, took off his big coat, wrapped it around Lan Ya, and tried to pick up Lan Ya twice.

Xiao Ran stopped again: "No, no, the body will still be filled with wind, and it is easy to suffer from wind and cold." ”

Zhuo Liu said with a aggrieved face: "Young master, you hugged it back like this yesterday, you hugged it all the way, your arms were sore, and you didn't say that the posture was incorrect?" If you can't trust your subordinates, or you will work hard again? ”

Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, and then he said impatiently: "You are the master, I am the master?!" If it weren't for my grandmother who had sent me to return to my life early in the morning, would you think I could trust you? Don't talk nonsense, wrap the whole quilt around your body, only show your head, and you can't even touch your arms, you know? If you can't do it, be careful with your skin. ”

Zhuo Liu shuddered again, feeling that his skin was running out, when did the young master have this terrible thought? Every day I think about lying on my own skin.

This situation seems to be that the master and Yu Lanya have been in contact for a long time and have become like this, and when it comes to monkeys, they immediately become so vicious.

It's better to be careful.

Zhuo Liu didn't dare to slack off, spread the quilt on the couch, saw Lan Ya holding a pillow in his arms, where did he dare to move his arm or arm, directly through the pillow, Lan Ya was like a ball on the quilt, a roll of quilts, Lan Ya was like a pancake rolled green onion, tightly wrapped in it, only a small head was exposed.

Zhuo Liu carefully carried the "pancake roll green onion", did not dare to limp at all, and walked out on thin ice, until he completely left Xiao Ran's sight, then he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ran down the mountain.

Lan Ya, who was wrapped in the quilt, was immediately dizzy, looking at how strange her image looked, how did this scene seem to be a show girl in the palace, who was washed white and incense at night, and was wrapped and sent to the dragon couch of the emperor's bedroom, and was cherished by tens of thousands of strokes, and then "rolled up and left"?

It seems that her "little show girl" is still not welcomed, and she left without being "pampered"?

Zhuo Liu put Lan Ya on the kang, pulled the quilt one by one, Lan Ya rolled out like a rolling ball, his arm was on the broom pimple, the scabbed wound was painful, Lan Ya endured it and didn't dare to say anything.

Zhuo Liu rolled up the quilt, and pulled up the pillow in Lan Ya's arms, Lan Ya was holding the pillow in his arms, eating hard, and he didn't pull it.

Zhuo Liu said anxiously: "Monkey, no, grandma, you can return this pillow to me, the young master likes this pillow the most, he sleeps with it every day, and smirks at it from time to time, so that people still think that the young master wants to eat apples, and put a plate of apples in the house every day." If I lose it, my ice-clear, jade-like skin really can't be saved. ”

Lan Ya had no choice but to pretend to turn over and let go of the pillow embroidered with apples, but her mind was a little wandering in the world.

Zhuo Liu was satisfied with the things clamped around his waist, afraid that Lan Ya would be uncomfortable, so he put the quilt at home on Lan Ya again.

He lit a new fire in the stove, filled the firewood, tied the windows and doors backwards, jumped up to the beams, pushed up a dozen tiles with all his might, climbed the roof through the loopholes, and restacked the tiles to cover the cold wind.

Lan Ya's arm just touched the place where it was numb, and when she raised her arm, she thought it would scab and bleed, but it was a piece of white soft cloth that was re-wrapped on it, and a beautiful bow was tied at the end, such a color, such a material, such a knot, like a young man's hairband, hunting and flying in the wind.

Lan Ya turned over, lay flat on the kang, looked at the clump of tiles on the roof and concentrated, she had to admit that aside from the mustard in some things, a certain part of her soul had begun to be messy, like catkins after the rain, complicated cotton threads, untidy, unclear.

......

After going down the mountain, although Yu Sanguang's face was indifferent, he did not mention the introduction of the Wang family to the Zhou family and the purchase of gifts for Zhou Buyan, but Lan Ya knew that the estrangement between the two was getting deeper and deeper, and the protection of the year was gradually worn out in the constant friction, and it would disappear one day.

The days passed day by day, like flowing clouds, and in a blink of an eye, before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhuo Xiaoran began to go to Fucheng to meet his father-in-law Xiao Ruo.

When she arrived in Fucheng, Xiao Yu was as happy as a cute fat bird, laughing around Xiao Ran, pestering Xiao Ran to accompany her to enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern fans, and eat Fucheng food.

Xiao Ran had a meaningful smile on his face, and as if he was juggling, he took out a dark iron dagger and a bracelet from his arms.

The dagger is small and cute, and the handle and leather case are inlaid with red coral hollow carving balls, and the whole is combined into a beautiful peony flower shape.

The bracelet is a red coral carving ball bracelet with the same style as the dagger, with bright colors and long-lasting aromas, so that people can smell a fragrance from afar.

Xiao Yu happily played with the bracelet and dagger, and couldn't put it down.

Xiao Ran said with a smile: "This is a dark iron mine excavated by Wuling Peak of Qixing Mountain, the weapons made of iron ore here are extremely sharp, I will prepare to report to the imperial court in a while, you always go back and forth between Fucheng and Yujia Village, I don't worry, so I forged this dagger, you keep it for self-defense." ”

Xiao Ran picked up the bracelet and carefully put it on Xiao Yu's wrist and said: "This is soaked in special medicinal herbs, wearing it, it can prevent mosquitoes in spring, cool in summer, warm in winter, and most importantly, the fragrance of the four seasons is continuous, which is something that Miss Guijia can not find." ”

Xiao Yu put it under her nose and sniffed it, and sure enough, a distant fragrance seeped into her nose, making people feel refreshed.

Sending the happy Xiao Yu back to the Northern Xiao Palace, Zhuo Xiaoran's eyes were as bright as ink, and he wiped and wiped the hand that touched Xiao Yu's wrist and bracelet with a handkerchief until his palm was red.

Zhuo Er hurriedly handed over a brand-new handkerchief, and said with a solemn expression: "Young Master, will King Beixiao be fooled?" If he truthfully reported the iron ore to the imperial court, wouldn't it add another credit to his credit book. ”

Xiao Ran smiled coldly: "In the past, King Beixiao would definitely tell the emperor as soon as possible; Since the emperor's marriage, although King Beixiao doesn't mind his daughter being a chess piece, he wants to give full play to its greatest value, and in the end he only becomes a waste son of the Zhuo family, which will definitely give birth to dissatisfaction. Knowing that after I found the iron mine, in order to hit me, he would also send troops to rob the iron mine, and after the investigation, it was found that it was just a small iron mine, and he would disagree with the concealment, and when the mine in the mine, the hole in the hole, and the real armory were discovered by the emperor's people, the king of Beixiao was indistinguishable, and the seeds of suspicion between the two brothers were planted. ”

Zhuo Er nodded in admiration, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, fortunately, the young master has strong wealth support and a steady stream of ways to make money, otherwise, this large iron mine and armory will only be used to arouse the suspicion of the Xiao brothers in the end, and it will be returned to the Xiao family intact, which is really a pity.
