When the old man saw Lin Xiaozhu's tears, he seemed to be a little moved. However, he is old and has experienced a lot of things, he blinked his eyes, quickly put away his emotions, and looked at Lin Xiaozhu with a smile: "Girl, come, stand up and let Master see." ”

Seeing the old man's smile, Lin Xiaozhu became happy. She wiped away her tears in embarrassment and got up from her seat.

"Well, yes, I've grown taller and more handsome." The old man stroked his beard and looked her up and down, and nodded.

Lin Xiaozhu also looked at the old man. I haven't seen him for two and a half years, time seems to have frozen in his body, and the old man is still so tough, with a red face, and he seems to be in good health. She also laughed happily and said, "Master, it seems that you are in good health." ”

"Okay, that's good." The old man pointed to the person next to him, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Wu Jiang, this is Lin Niang, you can call them senior brother and senior sister." ”

Lin Xiaozhu saw a man and a woman in their thirties standing next to the old man, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello.

After Lin Xiaozhu solemnly greeted the old man again, he said with some guilt: "Master, I haven't been free all these years, and I haven't been able to go back to Qingxi Town since you left, I don't know if you went there again when you got old?" Xiaozhu has been thinking about you in her heart. Also, the recipe you gave me was also sealed in that passage, and I ......"

"Hey." The old man waved his hand and interrupted her, "I know your situation. It's okay, Master doesn't blame you. But the jade plate that Master gave you, have you put it away? ”

Lin Xiaozhu hurriedly took out the jade plaque from his neck: "Over the years, this jade plaque has been hanging around my neck. It has never been taken down, nor has it ever been seen by others. Rest assured. The jade plaque, nourished by her skin, became more and more crystal clear, and it actually emitted a soft light.

Seeing this jade plaque, the old man nodded. After two and a half years, this girl's performance is still very satisfactory to him. The true feelings revealed at the first meeting cannot be performed no matter how clever the acting skills are; And as soon as they meet, they care about his body, instead of complaining to him or asking for help; Even though she was in great need of five thousand taels of silver to redeem herself. I didn't think about selling this jade plaque. This is very rare for a little girl.

"Xiaozhu. Master sent someone to kidnap you here, and I'm afraid that Yuan Xiaozi's side has already turned the world upside down. We don't have time to catch up, so let's make a long story short. Tell Master about what you would like to ask Master for this meeting. ”

"Master!" Lin Xiaozhu didn't expect to part at the first meeting, and he was extremely reluctant. She looked greedily at the familiar face in front of her, and tears gradually blurred her eyes: "Master, when can we meet again?" Xiaozhu if I miss you. What should I do? ”

In those big clear eyes. There is no other emotion except attachment and inseparability. Even if the old man has dealt with countless people all his life, he looks at these eyes at this time. I was also deeply moved by it.

He stretched out his hand, lovingly wiped the tears on Lin Xiaozhu's cheeks, and said softly: "Girl, Master doesn't live in this country. Meeting at this time is also a coincidence. But we'll have the chance to meet again in the future. If you have any requirements, just ask Master, and if Master can do it, he will definitely help you. ”

When Wu Jiang and Lin Niang heard this, they looked at Lin Xiaozhu with deep meaning. The old man has received countless apprentices in his life, but the only one who can get his jade plate and this sentence is Lin Xiaozhu.

They looked at the old man's gray hair and sighed to themselves. If Lin Xiaozhu proposed to go with them, it would be a violation of the agreement between the countries, and they would also help Lin Xiaozhu achieve his wish. After all, the old man has been alone since the death of the queen, empty under his knees, and with a kind-hearted and lovely girl like Lin Xiaozhu by his side, his old age will be much happier.

The words that wanted the old man to help her get free swirled around her mouth, and she was swallowed by Lin Xiaozhu again. Two and a half years ago, she didn't ask the old man to help her, so now that she knows that Yuan Tianye's secrets are more, she can't ask the old man for help anymore. The old man didn't offer to take her away, so there must be something unspeakable, so why did she make such an embarrassing request? Besides, even if he leaves with the old man like this, not only will it be difficult for him to live in Tibet, but it is also very likely to affect the old man. Why bother if you harm others and you don't get real freedom? She is now confident that she can persuade Yuan Tianye to partner with her to open a store, and it must be not difficult to earn five thousand taels of silver, right? Besides, in the future, she can freely enter and leave the Yuan Mansion, and she will have the opportunity to sell recipes. To be free, you can come in the open.

Xiaozhu's request is still the same as the sentence two and a half years ago, I hope that the master can take care of his body more, and everything will be safe and smooth. I also hope that one day, Xiaozhu will have the opportunity to cook for Master to eat. Lin Xiaozhu said sincerely.

As soon as these words came out, not only the old man was moved, but even Wujiang and Lin Niang were stunned, looking at Lin Xiaozhu in disbelief. In the past two years, although the old man has left, the spies he planted beside Yuan Tianye have been reporting Lin Xiaozhu's news from time to time. This girl and her master clearly asked for redemption, and set the price at five thousand taels of silver, she wanted to be free so much, they all knew. As soon as the old man said that just now, he was ready for Lin Xiaozhu to make this request. But I don't want her to say a word, I just hope that the old man can be healthy and safe.

No wonder, the old man has so many apprentices, he just gave her the jade plate that marked his identity, and he still remembered her. This girl is worth remembering the old man.

"Xiaozhu, good boy." The old man stretched out his hand, touched Lin Xiaozhu's hair emotionally, then nodded, and said, "Since you treat the master like this, if the master doesn't make it clear again, he will be ashamed of you." Actually, you are a slave that Yuan Tianye bought from the deep mountains, and later trained to become a cook, and I know it with you. I also know that in a fit of rage, he offered five thousand taels of ransom silver, and you agreed. ”

Lin Xiaozhu looked at the old man in surprise, and his mind turned several times. The old man is so familiar with Yuan Tianye's situation, and even the situation of her little shrimp next to him is also clear, could it be that the old man is Yuan Tianye's political enemy? If so, which side should she be on? If the old man asked her to frame Yuan Tianye, she would not agree to death. After all, Yuan Tianye is not thin on her.

The old man was old and refined, and he could see through what Lin Xiaozhu was thinking at a glance, and couldn't help but pat her head funny, and said, "Little girl, what are you thinking?" Master is not your master's political enemy. ”

"Whew." Lin Xiaozhu let out a sigh of relaxation, "It's good if it's not!" It scared me to death just now, and I was still thinking, if you are my son-in-law's political enemy, then what should I do? ”

"Then I want you to poison your son-in-law, what will happen to you?" The old man couldn't help but want to tease Lin Xiaozhu.

Lin Xiaozhu shook his head like a rattle: "That's not good." Master, Childe is very kind to me, and I can't do that kind of thing that will take revenge. ”

"And what if you were asked to marry him?" The old man asked again.

Lin Xiaozhu's eyes widened, then he pursed his lips and glanced at the old man: "Master, what are you talking about?" ”

"Hahaha." The old man laughed, stroked his beard, and suddenly said, "If you want to marry him, it's not impossible, as long as I recognize you as my granddaughter." ”

"Huh?" Lin Xiaozhu looked at the old man in surprise, and then shook his head again and again, "If you want to recognize me as your granddaughter, Xiaozhu will definitely jump with joy." But marrying Yuan Tianye is still exempt. ”

"You don't like him?" The old man asked rhetorically, "Girl, Master has traveled around the world for decades, which is pleasing to the eye, and I feel that whether it is character or talent, I can be worthy of my granddaughter, and this is Yuan Tianye." And as far as I can tell, this kid has a deep affection for you. I think you might as well think about it. ”

"Master, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lin Xiaozhurao is a modern woman, and she couldn't help blushing when she was so teased by the old man, "Moreover, time is pressing, why do you keep joking with Xiaozhu?" ”

"Girl, a girl, marriage is the top priority. That's why Master came to see you this time to talk about your life's events. The old man smiled and said, "Listen up." Your master and I, surnamed Xuanyuan, are the emperors of the four countries. If you are my apprentice or granddaughter, if he Yuan Tianye wants to marry you, it will be regarded as Gao Pan. So girl, don't be presumptuous. ”

"The Emperor?" Lin Xiaozhu stared at the boss and looked at the old man. She never thought that she would casually pick up an old man on the street and come back, and he would be the most respected one in the world.

"Exactly." The old man nodded, looked at Lin Xiaozhu and said seriously, "So the next words, Xiaozhu, you listen carefully." One of the important reasons why I will not take you away this time is that I cannot arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of a country, including not changing its national status. Therefore, the matter of redemption has to be done by yourself. However, when necessary, Master will give you some help. For this second reason, Master hopes that you can take this opportunity to take a good look at Yuan Tianye as a person. If I take you away and recognize you as my granddaughter, at this time Yuan Tianye or other young people come to ask for marriage, do you agree or not? How do you know if he likes you or your status? So, you might as well stay by Yuan Tianye's side now and still be his servant. If he treats you sincerely, even if your status is not comparable, he is willing to marry you as a wife. Well, I suggest that you think about marrying him. ”
