An Yu naturally didn't know why Fang Hengwen came out in such a hurry, so she only shook her head, took some of the medicinal materials needed by the palace masters in the pharmacy one by one, and took them to the pharmacy hall to do.

With less than half a month to go before the emperor's birthday, there is no longer room for delay.

Like An Yu, Song You also felt that he couldn't delay any longer, so he submitted a post to the palace asking to see the emperor.

But when Song You came, it was not the emperor who summoned him into the palace, but sent Zhou Nianbai to Xiyuan to look for him.

When Zhou Nianbai arrived in Xiyuan, Song You had just distributed a defensive area to the six people transferred from the Praetorian Guard in the capital.

He sat in the unnominated gazebo at the back of the vestibule, in the middle of the lake.

When Zhou Nianbai saw Song You, who was comfortably leaning on the gazebo, he jumped in three or two steps, turned the long sword in his hand, and said with a smile: "Ah, the garden that the Holy Lord rewarded you is so good, but it's a pity that you didn't even mention the names of the two pavilions that are so good." ”

Song You pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders slightly, raised his hand and poured two glasses of wine: "I was about to call them Nameless Pavilion No. 1, Nameless Pavilion No. 2, I don't know what my friends think?" ”

Zhou Nianbai threw the long sword on the stone table, reached out and picked up the wine glass that Song You had poured full of wine, raised his head and drank it in one gulp: "I came to tell you something serious, and the Holy Lord gave you two choices." ”

Song You was wearing a light blue dress today, surrounded by a white belt with red edges embroidered with moire, and after hearing this, he straightened his cuffs: "Which two choices?" ”

Zhou Nianbai said with a smile: "The Holy Lord said that you have rested long enough, and now I remember to hand him a post asking for his life, so I want to give you a difficult errand - let you transport a batch of grain and grass to the northwest for me." ”

After listening to Zhou Nianbai's words, Song You also picked up the wine glass and drank the wine: "You only said one." ”

Zhou Nianbai laughed twice and shook his finger: "The second one you won't like, go to the Ministry of Officials to report, serve as the imperial envoy, and thoroughly investigate Prince Luo's Mansion!" ”

Song You's hand that put down the wine glass paused slightly, and his expression changed even more: "The Holy Lord wants to check Jinlin?" ”

Zhou Nianbai smiled: "Yes, either you can do it, or I will do it." But I think, if I do it, it will be a little less critical than yours, on loyalty, you should check, on righteousness, you can't check, how much you check will make people criticize your character. ”

Zhou Nianbai, who was wearing a black guard uniform, raised his hand and poured himself a glass of wine, glanced at Song You's still somewhat surprised expression, and continued: "When you were the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard, didn't you already report what you saw and heard to the saint? There are a few centurions in it who are Prince Luo's people, what are the Praetorian Guards and Ouchi Guards, they are the emperor's dead soldiers who can't obey the emperor's orders, but anyone who wants to get involved in these two forces, whether they have the heart of rebellion or not, will be eliminated. ”

Song You's fingers lightly tapped on the railing he was leaning on, looked at the rippling lake, and was speechless for a while.

Seeing Song You's silent appearance, Zhou Nianbai took another sip of wine: "Isn't it, my brother, what Mu Jinlin did to you, you can still treat him as a friend and brother?" Since you have decided to report to the Holy God everything you have probed in the barracks, you should have thought that such a day would come your way. ”

As the words fell, a bird on the lake lightly tapped the surface of the lake and flew by.

The lake ripples in layers.

Song You withdrew his eyes from the surface of the lake and said in a deep voice: "No, so-"

He looked at Zhou Nianbai and smiled: "So, I'm glad to have a friend like you, I really don't like to go to Chamu Jinlin, so I can only help you escort the grain and grass." ”

"This is the best choice, but I want to remind you that if I go to check Mu Jinlin, it will probably make Mu Jinlin jump off the wall in a hurry, just like ...... The king of Qi who rebelled before, so if you escort grain and grass, it is likely that you will have to encounter another life and death crisis. ”

Song You sighed, raised his hand and patted Zhou Nianbai's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "You who are handling cases in Beijing are more dangerous...... Nian Bai, Xiyuan ......"

Without waiting for Song You to finish speaking, Zhou Nianbai also patted Song You on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the people in Xiyuan, I will help you guard it!" ”

Because it was already noon when Zhou Nianbai came, Song You asked the kitchen to set up a banquet to entertain Zhou Nianbai before sending people away.

After sending the other party away, Song You sat in this nameless pavilion and thought quietly for a long time, and finally decided to repair a letter to Song Si, who was far away in Jiaodong.

This trip to the northwest, probably after the emperor's birthday, although Zhou Nianbai said that he would help him pay attention to the things in Xiyuan, but Zhou Nianbai didn't understand Mu Jinlin's thoughts about An Yu, and there would definitely be omissions, but if it was Song Si, although he didn't have kung fu, as a doctor, he had the skills to escape with An Yu and avoid danger.

On that day, two special letters were sent from the post station in the capital.

One is Song You's handwritten letter.

One is a letter written by Princess Bunraku in imitation of An Yu's handwriting.

They were sent to the same place, the same place, although the content is very different, but they all have one purpose - to let Song Si return to Beijing.

When the letter leaves Beijing at sunset.

An Yu also rode back to Xiyuan in a carriage at sunset.

As usual, I entered through the east gate of Xiyuan, and as soon as I got out of the car, I saw Bishuang waiting at the door.

Bishuang walked up to An Yu and raised her hand to help An Yu and walked towards the pavilion behind the front hall.

"Girl, after such a fuss yesterday, the two of them are very peaceful in front of the master, and at noon everyone sent a bowl of soup and withdrew, but there was a commotion in the account room, and after lunch, they came to me and Xinyu to make trouble."

When the sun was shining at sunset in summer, An Yu raised her hand to cover it, looked at the lake that was reflected in the sun, and smiled: "It's right, I'm afraid that they won't make trouble, who is making trouble with whom?" The kitchen and Dong's mother, who bought rouge head oil, had a quarrel? ”

Bishuang nodded slightly: "Isn't it, and the mother Zhao who wanted to buy rouge head oil before also came to make trouble today, and it was towards the kitchen." ”

An Yu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled: "Oh, is it Mother Zhao who originally wanted to buy rouge head oil?" ”

"It's her, girl has a good memory."

When An Yu heard such praise, she only raised her head and smiled at Bishuang: "Let's go, let's go to the kitchen." ”

Bishuang responded, but couldn't help but wonder: "What is the girl doing in the kitchen?" ”

An Yu pouted: "This group of people are making trouble, but I'm not here, and I can't make trouble to Song You's side, I've been waiting for me for a day, and I'm thinking about how to control me, let's go and see the excitement." ”

After listening to An Yu's explanation, Bishuang lowered her head and smiled, comprehended, and turned her head to explain that the little girl next to her went to the flounder courtyard to call Xinyu to the kitchen.

The kitchen is indeed very lively.

It was the time to wait for the owners of the house to call for food, and the mothers-in-law helped the two cooks wash all the commonly used dishes and put them aside.

Lian'er in Xinyi's courtyard and Xiaohong in Linglong's courtyard came to the kitchen together to order food.

The two men met at the kitchen door and spat at each other before walking in.

An Yu and Bishuang hid far behind the shadow of the tree behind the bend, and when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but smile.

After the two girls went in, listening to the quarrel in the courtyard, An Yu took Bishuang and the group to the courtyard of the kitchen.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I saw an old mother unkempt and dragged Lian'er's hair and pushed it out, and Lian'er was still carrying two chickens in her hands, and was gently pushed by the mother-in-law behind her, and the whole person fell forward, and the two chickens in her hands flew out of her hands with a "cooing".

I saw that Xiaohong in the Ling Long courtyard rolled up her sleeves, stuck her waist and pointed at Lian'er and scolded: "Beat this person out for me, and don't look at who is in charge in this garden, and dare to play majestic in front of your aunt and grandmother, isn't it that my grandfather sat in the yard for a while yesterday!" It's like you're an aunt, don't say you're not an aunt, you're an aunt, and you're faceless, and you haven't let your master touch it for more than an hour, it's really shameful! ”

An Yu stood in front of the courtyard gate, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a smile: "Yo, I listen to what it means, girl, you are the one who is in charge in this Xi Garden?" ”

The people who were pushing and making trouble never thought that An Yu would walk towards this side as soon as she returned to the garden.

The courtyard of the kitchen instantly fell silent, and everyone looked at An Yu quietly.

Mother Liu, who was grinding millet noodles in the courtyard, was the only one who was smiling, and she hurriedly greeted her, saluted An Yu and said, "Why did Mrs. kiss her?" ”

An Yu saw that Mother Liu's body was clean and her hair was not messy, and she came from the millstone, so she knew that there was no one in the person who had just fought and made trouble, so she smiled with her: "I'm not coming, can I see such a bustle?" ”

Xiaohong, who was standing at the door of the kitchen and scolding, hurriedly moved the chair and put it in front of An You.

An Yu turned her head to look at Xiaohong and smiled, meaningful.

She sat on the chair, pressed her fingers lightly on her temples, glanced at the mess in the courtyard and the vegetables and meat spilled on the ground, sighed twice, shook her head and said: "Zhumen wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, these things are all those crops that can't be eaten for a year, they are all so ruined by you, you are too rich." ”

The mother who was carrying Lian'er out just now was Mother Lin, and when Mother Lin heard An Yu say this, she brushed the hair scattered around her ears behind her ears, and said with a smile: "Mrs., you ......"

An Yu didn't let her finish, raised her eyebrows and asked, "You are Ling Long's aunt, aren't you?" ”

Mother Lin was stunned for a moment, and sweat fell from the corner of her forehead: "I ......"

Xinyu didn't know when she had already walked to the courtyard, strode up to Mother Lin, and slapped her: "Who allowed you, me, me, and me, how to talk in front of my wife, don't you know the rules?" You are Master Ling's aunt, not Mrs.'s aunt! ”

After this slap, the heads of the people in the kitchen lowered a little, and there was a dead silence.

Xiaohong, who fell to the ground, got up, her white face was covered with dust, there were tears in her eyes, and she knelt down in front of An Yu: "Mrs! Every time a slave comes to the kitchen to call for food, he is either scolded or beaten! Although the master of the heart doesn't have such a good aunt, he can't be bullied like this! ”
