A few days later, when Zhang Luoer went to see Liu Yongxu, she brought a basket of wild vegetables and a pheasant that was not thin.

She carried it into Liu Yongxu's study, put down her things, stood timidly aside, and said softly: "Lord Liu, my mother has been taking care of you before the accident, my brother and I have always wanted to come to thank you, but we both have no ability to make a living on weekdays, after moving to a house on the outskirts of Beijing, I went up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables, and my brother bought a pheasant from the hunter on the mountain, which is not a valuable thing, I hope Lord Liu will not dislike it." ”

Her appearance was pitiful and well-behaved, and her voice revealed timidity and sorrow, so that Liu Yongxu couldn't help but recall the love with Zhang Lianfeng in the past, and hurriedly said: "Good boy, although your mother has done something wrong, it has nothing to do with you, I also understand how difficult it is for her to pull two children alone, you can rest assured, just work here with peace of mind in the future, no one will know your origin." ”

Zhang Luo'er lowered her head, and she could hear it outside the words, although Liu Yongxu pitied her, she still felt that Zhang Lianfeng was wrong. She didn't argue anything, rubbed her eyes, sniffed, nodded and said, "Thank you Lord Liu for being willing to take Luo'er in!" ”

Liu Yongxu felt more and more distressed when she met her red fluttering eyes, and immediately stood up and took out a small bag from the box on the bookcase behind her, handed it to Zhang Luo'er and said: "You recently went to rent a house near Dibao Mansion today, the suburbs of Beijing are too far away, if you still live there, you have to come in the middle of the night, and arrive home in the middle of the night." ”

Zhang Luo'er looked at the money bag in his hand flattered, took it with both hands, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed and thanked: "Lord Liu, your kindness to Luo'er, Luo'er is unforgettable!" ”

Liu Yongxu went over to help her up and said, "Don't thank you, I'll take you to the side hall to meet someone I know." ”

Zhang Luo'er nodded, got up from the ground, and obediently followed Liu Yongxu to the side hall.

As soon as the two of them entered, everyone raised their heads, and Liu Yongsu told her everyone's names one by one, and finally said: "Everyone, Luo'er has just arrived, if there is anything you don't understand, please teach her." ”

Yu Yuanyuan took the lead and told Liu Yongsu to rest assured, and after Liu Yongsu left, she eagerly pulled Zhang Luoer to sit down, and explained to her the origin of everyone here, when An Ge and Liu Pingle first came, she also explained to them like this.

Others didn't care, and continued to do what they were doing. Yu Yuanyuan and Zhang Luo'er talked for half an hour, and Zhang Luo'er listened with a smile until Yu Yuanyuan had nothing to say, so he asked her curiously: "Look, I have been talking alone for a long time, and I don't know your identity and origin, you and Lord Liu...... Is it a relative? ”

Zhang Luo'er hurriedly waved her hand: "No, I'm just the daughter of a family in the suburbs of Beijing, and I have nothing to do with Lord Liu." ”

"Oh," Yu Yuanyuan was slightly surprised, and sighed, "It's really good to be a farmer who can let her daughter study now......

Zhang Luo'er smiled and didn't say more, Yu Yuanyuan also felt a little bored, it is estimated that Zhang Luo'er is also a person who doesn't like to talk much like Yi Yinfeng, so he said, "You take a look at the old Di Bao first", and returned to his position and started to do things.

In the next half day, Zhang Luoer has been looking through the past Di newspapers, basically not talking to others, except for Yu Yuanyuan, everyone else is a quiet person, no one likes to be lively, and they don't take the initiative to talk to her.

It was almost evening, An Ge and Liu Pingle were almost busy with today's work, and the two of them packed up and planned to go back to their residence as usual, but they didn't expect that as soon as the two of them walked to the door of the Dibao Mansion, they found that the carriage of Liufu was parked here, and the big girl next to Zhou's side came over in person and said to Liu Pingle: "Miss, the lord and the lady please go back tonight." ”

Liu Pingle was puzzled: "What's the matter?" Why did you suddenly call me back? ”

The maid only said, "The lord and the lady didn't say it." ”

Although Liu Pingle didn't want to go back too much, he was still afraid that something important would happen, so he said goodbye to An Ge and got into the carriage.

An Ge had to go back alone, and after a while he arrived at the residence, he just walked into the courtyard and found that the door of the room was opened.

Xing'er also heard the footsteps, and when she turned around and saw that An Ge had returned, she came over with two packages and said to An Ge: "Miss An, I'm afraid my young lady won't be able to continue to live here in the future." ”

An Ge's first reaction was worry: "Is something wrong?" ”

Xing'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, a few days ago, Mrs. had a quarrel with Aunt Mu in the house, Aunt Mu said that our young lady is always outside, and she doesn't go home at night, and she will gossip about it, and when Madam heard it, she called the slave maid to come over and bring back Miss's things." ”

"Oh, so that's ......" The smile on An Ge's face suddenly couldn't hold back, and his eyes dimmed. Although he had enough money to rent this house alone, he still felt unstoppable loss at the thought of being alone from now on.

Liu Pingle may be reluctant, but her home is in the capital, and living alone outside for a long time is really controversial. Even if it's for her good, I can't persuade her to stay.

Xing'er finished cleaning up, came over with a large package and a small package, and said to An Ge: "Miss An, my wife said that if it is inconvenient for you to live alone, you can also go to Liufu to live, Liufu is big, and there are many empty houses in Miss's yard that can be cleaned up." ”

An Ge hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Thank you Madame for your kindness, I still don't bother." ”

Xing'er just passed the word to the master, and when she saw An Ge, she disagreed, and she didn't continue to persuade her, and An Ge helped her get the things to the carriage together.

Sending Xing'er away, An Ge walked to the stool next to the coffee table and sat down, most of the things before were Liu Pingle's, but now that she is gone, the room seems to have been hollowed out and deserted.

She sighed, only to realize something was unusual...... Not only is his own room deserted, but the entire yard is also deserted.

This is a courtyard house, originally she and Liu Pingle lived in five girls, everyone has their own things to do, so it is not very lively during the day, but in the evening they should almost all come back, and they go to fetch water to wash clothes and cook, and they will say a few words when they meet...... Why hasn't she heard anyone since she came back?

An Ge walked strangely to the courtyard, looked around the other rooms, and saw that only one room had the door hidden, and the others were locked, so she walked over to the place where the door was hidden, and shouted through the door, "Sister Xia, are you at home?" ”

There was a strange coughing sound inside, An Ge was a little worried, and carefully pushed open a small crack, looking inside: "Sister Xia, you ......"

As soon as he asked, An Ge suddenly found the tall figure sitting on the chair in the room and his strange outfit, and immediately exclaimed in fright: "Why are you here?" What about the original people in this room? ”

The person opposite was Yuan Qilu, he was wearing a peach-colored women's dress, his hair was scattered, and he was holding a comb and a mirror in his hand, as if he was combing his hair, but it was messy.

He opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and slowly spoke: "Everyone else, let's go, I'll stay, come in." ”

An Ge stepped into the room and asked in disbelief, "You mean to say that the rest of the people in this courtyard are gone, so you rented the other rooms?" ”

Yuan Qilu nodded, shook his head again, and then took out a folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to An Ge.

An Ge took it curiously, opened it and saw that it was the title deed of this house.

“…… So you bought this quadrangle? ”

Yuan Qilu nodded again.

Ange became more and more speechless, unclear why he did this. She sat down across from him, holding the title deed for a long time, and finally turned to look at him with a general decision: "Then I'll move out tomorrow." ”

Yuan Qilu hurriedly shook his head again, pointed at himself and at An Ge, and said, "You stay, I, pretend to be a woman, and protect you." ”

An Ge looked at his ill-fitting clothes and his messy hair, and finally knew why he was in such a mess today, she suddenly couldn't control it, covered her face and laughed silently.

He wanted to stay by his side and protect his reputation, so he came up with the idea of pretending to be a woman...... An Ge knew that he should be moved at this time, and he shouldn't laugh, but he really couldn't help it.

After laughing for a while before rescuing his smile, An Ge put down his hands and said to him seriously: "Lord Yuan, you used to be Jinyiwei, what a beautiful identity, I really don't understand why you said you wouldn't do it...... You just want to repay the favor by following me, right? In fact, it only cost two taels of silver for me to save you that day, and if you give me two taels of silver, we will settle the two. ”

Yuan Qilu shook his head desperately again, looked at An Ge's eyes stubbornly and firmly, and repeated the sentence: "I, protect you." ”

"Why don't you listen to what I say?" An Ge sighed, stood up and took two steps irritably, "Lord Yuan, what are you trying to do with me?" I don't have money and power......"

"No." Before An Ge finished speaking, Yuan Qilu interrupted her categorically, also stood up, looked at her and said, "I want to protect you." ”

An Ge sighed sullenly, she had never seen such a stubborn person.

He's a man, and he's a woman, can he disguise himself as a woman to cover up this fact? If someone else knows about it, what will she do in the future!

And keep saying to protect her, is this an act of protecting her?

When he failed to assassinate himself five times before, she thought that he was not very smart, but now it seems that he is not unintelligent, he is simply stupid!

"Whatever you want!" An Ge said angrily, turned away, and slammed the door of the room shut.

She had wanted to go out tomorrow to find a new place to live, but now it seems that she should go out now! An Ge went back to the room, quickly packed up a few of his clothes and the books he bought, took the money he had saved, and was about to go out on his back.

As soon as he opened the door, he found Yuan Qilu standing at the door, with a loose woman's hair bun tied up on his head, stretched out his hand to block her way, and said expressionlessly: "Don't go." ”
