In July, the scorching sun shone hotly on the earth, but there were four horse-drawn carriages galloping forward on the mountain road. The eight horses all had their mouths open, panting vigorously, and their bodies were as if they had just been washed out of the water.

"Wasn't it okay when I left Beijing two days ago? How can you say that you are critically ill again? The middle-aged fat man sitting in the second car wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and complained. This person is Yuan Zhibai. However, his appearance and voice at this time were completely different from when he was in the villa. It's just that the fat figure can't be changed, which is why he can't see people in the villa.

Yuan Tianye, who also changed his face and voice, sat next to him, lifted the bamboo curtain that blocked the sun, looked outside, and said, "The weather is too hot, the old man has been in bed for too long, his body is very weak, and he can't stand this weather." He comforted again, "Dad, don't worry, you can arrive in the capital in another hour." There is Yuan Yi in the palace, and there is a life-sustaining pill in his hand, it's okay. ”

Yuan Zhibai nodded, sighed, and stopped talking.

After a while, he suddenly remembered something, glared at his son and said, "I'm going to enter the capital in a while, you hurry to the car behind and feed Lin Xiaozhu the medicine." I know you like this girl, but rules are rules, as long as the people who follow you, no matter who they are, they have to take medicine. He also instructed the people sitting on the wheels outside, "Yuan Quan, you will follow and watch for a while, lest this kid do one thing in front of him and another thing behind him, and make my old man happy." ”

"Daddy!" Yuan Tianye looked helpless, but he didn't move, "I told you, Lin Xiaozhu, that person eats soft and not hard." This doesn't feed medicine, she can have the same heart with us; But once she was fed the medicine, what did she think in her heart. But it's hard to say. Anyway, when I arrived in the capital, someone watched me at home, and I kept following me outside, so nothing happened. ”

"Nonsense!" Yuan Zhibai slapped the wall of the car, his face full of hatred that iron is not steel, "When she arrives at the house, it is your cook, and everything you eat is from her hands." You have to give people an opportunity to borrow her hand. Will you poison again? If, as you said, she has a different heart after being fed the medicine, then it is better to kill it directly, spend so much money and energy. What is the purpose of cultivating such people? If you want a woman, Dad will find it for you, you can do whatever you want. If you are so fascinated by this girl that you don't even care about your own safety. Look if I can spare you! And he said, "Yang'er, you have to remember your life." It's not just your own, it's your daddy's! If you are for a woman's sake. Put yourself in danger, do you want me to worry about your mother? Where have you put me and your mother? Could it be that your parents are in your heart, and they are not as good as a woman? ”

This was said very seriously, and coupled with the fact that his mind was broken by his father, Yuan Tianye showed a sad and embarrassed expression on his face. He unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and while fanning his father, he patiently explained: "Dad, you don't know, Xuanyuan Shengshang has been to Qingxi Town and stayed there for almost a month. Lin Xiaozhu was accepted as an apprentice by him and taught many cooking skills......"

"Apprentice?" Yuan Zhibai snorted coldly and interrupted Yuan Tianye's words. "Even if it's a saint's disciple, it's not unusual. The old man had traveled all over the world. There were not fifty but twenty apprentices. Anyway, it was clearly stipulated that he could not take them away, nor could he change their status. So even if he is the old man's apprentice, he is still our slave. Let's give a face at most, don't kill her at will, and don't let her situation be unbearable. In this way, the old man can't do anything to us, what are you afraid of him? ”

But according to Yuan Er's report, her relationship with the old man is different from other apprentices. The other apprentices were in a miserable situation, and the old man saw that they were pitiful and had a good heart, so he lent out his aid and taught him a craft to live. But this time, it was the old man who followed him and got separated, penniless, it was Lin Xiaozhu who picked him up, and used his own money to settle him, let him eat and live, and take care of him wholeheartedly. Listening to Yuan Er, the old man simply loved Lin Xiaozhu as a granddaughter, and made her kowtow to the teacher seriously, which was completely different from the attitude of those games in the world before. If he knew that we gave Lin Xiaozhu that kind of medicine, although he couldn't punish us on the surface, but the eyeliner laid by the saints of the past dynasties in various countries was not an idle meal, what did he not know? As long as we are so crooked in the matter of seizing the throne, our years of arrangement will be in vain. As long as there is no war, as long as King Duan does not tyrannize his governance, who will be the emperor does not matter to that old man. ”

"That being the case, then why didn't you let Lin Xiaozhu go in the first place? Wouldn't it be better to give her a sum of money so that she can live a prosperous life? As soon as the old man is happy, he may be able to help us in the matter of seizing the throne! Yuan Zhibai glared, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "Yang'er, Yang'er, are you unwilling to let her go free because you like her?" For a woman, you, you, you...... Alas, let your father tell me what is good about you! ”

Yuan Tianye, who has always been breezy and calm, was told by his father to think about it, and his face wearing a human skin mask couldn't help revealing a layer of redness. He scratched his hair with a headache and said, "Actually, the biggest reason is because I let her out, I'm afraid that she won't be safe." You can also see that this girl looks pretty good, if she is set free, we will always have a time when we can't take care of her. If something happens, the old man doesn't care what your reason is, he has to blame us. Besides, she has been in the villa and knows about us, so if she doesn't pay attention to what she says, she will cause us trouble, right? So, I thought about it, and it was better to keep her around. That's a big reason why I'm going to ask her to be a cook. ”

What kind of character is his son, how can Yuan Zhibai not know? As long as he wants to do it, there is nothing he can't do. Any security issue, it's all an excuse. Now that he wants to take Lin Xiaozhu with him, I'm afraid that no matter how much he says, it will be in vain. The son has been living abroad since he was a child, and after secretly returning to China, he was worried about it at a young age, which finally liked a girl, and the reason he said was also very reasonable, and he could still desperately stop and beat the mandarin ducks?

Yuan Zhibai had to sigh, patted Yuan Tianye's back and said, "Whatever you want." I can't control you anyway, you just have to be careful. Dad just begs you a little, don't be fascinated by love words. I don't think this Lin Xiaozhu likes you yet, you work hard. As long as she likes you, she is a dead heart and is not afraid of anything. You can also use it when necessary. Women, I still like strong men, as long as you want her body, she will no longer have two hearts for you. ”

"What kind of ability is to use force?" Yuan Tianye turned his head away, covering his flushed face, and muttered.

Yuan Zhibai was angry and funny, looking at his arrogant son, who was talking again, but Yuan Quan's voice came from outside: "Master, it's almost Shili Pavilion ahead." Let's break up with Childe, otherwise it will be easy to attract suspicion. ”

"Then I'll go back to the car in the back." Yuan Tianye couldn't wait to leave here quickly, so as not to listen to his father's nagging again.

But before getting out of the car, he nagged himself: "Dad, you have to eat less meat when you go back, and if you have to eat it, you must put red yeast rice powder." The medicine I gave you, don't forget to give it to your mother when you go back. You two elders, pay attention to your health. This time, I won't leave the capital for a while, if there's anything wrong, just let Yuan Quan go to me. ”

"I know, I know, you're more verbose than your mother." Although Yuan Zhibai said extremely impatiently, there was a useful expression on his face. The son's filial piety will be so wordy. If you want to change someone else, look at him, will he ignore you for half a word?

Back in the back car, Yuan Tianye asked Yuan Jiu to drive the car to the shade of the tree and stop, waited for two teas, estimated that Yuan Zhibai's carriage had gone away, and then took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it under Lin Xiaozhu's nose, letting her sniff.

"Well, where am I?" After a while, Lin Xiaozhu woke up slowly, blinking his eyes and shaking his head. But when she turned her head and saw Yuan Tianye staring at her quietly, she was startled, sat up with a "teng", but her head accidentally hit the wall of the car with a "bang". She didn't care about the headache, and exclaimed, "Who are you?" The body quickly moved out of the carriage.

Yuan Tianye was not busy explaining, seeing that she was in a hurry to escape, he asked slowly: "Lin Xiaozhu, are your five taels of gold and twenty taels of silver hidden in your belt?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu subconsciously covered his stomach. waited until the money on his belt was still there, and then he let go of half of his heart, but doubts rose in his heart, and he looked Yuan Tianye up and down: "How do you know?" Who are you? ”

Seeing that Lin Xiaozhu was like a little beast, with vigilant eyes open, his body moving out vigorously, ready to escape at any time, Yuan Tianye couldn't help laughing: "Then guess who I am?" ”

Although the person in front of him is strange, his attitude is extremely kind. At this time, I was in the middle of the carriage, and the outside of the carriage was covered with green trees, and from the back of the carriage was a mountain road...... Lin Xiaozhu first glanced at the surrounding environment, remembering that he had eaten in the evening and was about to take a bath with Zhou Yuchun, but Yuan Shi came to call, and then as soon as he followed him into Yuan Tianye's courtyard, he suddenly fainted......

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaozhu's heart moved, and he carefully looked at the man in front of him. This man is about twenty years old, and he is about as tall as Yuan Tianye; He was wearing a navy blue gown, wheat-colored skin, bright eyes, and dark eyes; The bridge of the nose is very straight, but the lips are a little thick, and the chin is square. Although his appearance is not as handsome as Yuan Tianye, it makes people feel good at a glance. The dark eyes like a deep pool, the smile that seems to be smiling, the inexplicable carriage, and the knowledge that she has five taels of gold and twenty taels of silver on her belt......

The answer is imminent.

"Is there a reward for guessing right?" She blinked and bit her lip.
