Father smiled apologetically, lowered his voice and said: "Don't hide it, eleven, my father has been cultivating a group of 'squire' guards with good skills since more than ten years ago, but it violates the laws of the imperial court and exists in the form of a dart game.

Your eldest brother and Qingyan know about this matter, and Qingwei knows about it. And I have also arranged such secret guards around them, inseparable, day and night, to protect their safety, in case someone kidnaps them for ransom, or someone is against them and secretly harms them.

In the past few days, I have been so anxious about the business that I have been dispatched to secretly investigate the identities of those people, and I can't 'draw' people at all.

Actually, I have already selected a few outstanding masters for you, and I originally thought that I would tell you when you entered Beijing in a few days, and listen to your command. If you ask today, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Just let me know when you need it, and I'll take care of it. ”

Sure enough, as Liang Ci expected, those secret guards were not arranged by my father, so are they friends or foes, to protect me, or to spy on me? And for what purpose?

Fantastic.

I didn't think I knew such a powerful person, so I hurriedly shook my head and said to my father: "The 'daughter' is in the courtyard of the deep house, and it is enough to have guards in the house. It's still a matter of business. I hope that all those bad people can be eliminated, and it is best to bring them to justice to avoid future troubles. ”

The father nodded, his face was full of exhaustion and helplessness, and he no longer had the vigor when he was on the mountain: "I will naturally do my best to defend the Su family and give you a stable and peaceful life, this is my responsibility as the head of the family and my father." ”

I lowered my head and thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but say: "Father himself must be careful and safe, the power behind those people is unfathomable, since they have been plotting for so long, they will definitely not give up." ”

My father gave me a reassuring look: "Go back quickly, rest early, there are still account books in the store that need to be checked, and it may not be back until midnight, you send the girl in front of you to tell your mother, so that she will not worry." ”

After speaking, my father leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes tiredly, and the vigorous glow of the suitable talent was almost like two people, and he had seen the state of old age.

My heart was filled with a sour and astringent taste, and most of the resentment I had had disappeared, and I felt sorry for my father's day and night ''. I wondered if I was the kind of 'sex' of the wallgrass, who had no opinions, and fell with the wind. I only said a soft "um" and got out of the car silently.

Seeing his father's carriage drifting away, Fang clutched the letter in his arms and hurriedly trotted almost all the way to his yard.

The night 'color' has already been dark, it is the last quarter of the moon, the starlight is bright, reflecting the starry glass lamps in the palm of the house, illuminating the 'flower' wood sparsely, and the shadow is sparse.

Then, to my dismay, I found myself 'lost' and didn't know which way to lead to my backyard.

These two times I went out of the house, there were girls with each other, or I took a soft sedan car, so I didn't deliberately remember the way. Moreover, the Su Mansion was originally large, and the design of the courtyard adhered to the style of the Jiangnan garden, with a winding corridor and a winding path, which was really difficult to identify in the night.

I can't just catch a guy and tell him, "I'm 'lost' in my own house, you tell me where to go." "That way, tomorrow, I'll have a new laughing stock.

I secretly made up my mind, when I see Brother Lin one day, I will definitely pester him to teach me light skills, I just need to fly up to the roof, raise my eyes and look around, and I will be able to find my yard, why do I need to follow the rules and take more unjust roads.

When I was annoyed, I heard a shallow laugh behind me, warm and clear, like a mountain stream and a clear spring, and a bright moon on the pine.

I turned around in surprise, and sure enough, the savior had arrived!

"Brother Lin, why are you here?"

Brother Lin didn't answer and asked: "Don't tell me, are you 'lost'?" ”

I scratched my hair in embarrassment and said with a bitter face, "You guessed it right." ”

Brother Lin couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud: "It seems that it's right for me to wait for you here." ”

"Wait for me?" I was surprised and asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”

"Of course I'm clever, waiting to take you back to the yard." Brother Lin joked: "Just talk to you." ”

"Hmm." I said happily: "I heard my father talk about you today, you have worked hard in the past few days, and you have helped him a lot, thanks to you. I haven't had time to thank you properly. ”

Brother Lin stared at me and said seriously, "Qingwu, can you not be so polite to me." I always felt like an outsider. ”

I smiled embarrassedly: "Brother Lin is an elegant person who has read the books of sages, and I am afraid that I will be vulgar and make you laugh, so I have always pretended." In fact, in my heart, you are much closer than my eldest brother. ”

After speaking, he unconsciously stuck out his tongue, although the 'meat' was a little numb, but what he said was really from his heart, and there was no half-falsehood.

"Naughty." Brother Lin looked at me dotingly, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "I heard that your father wants to send you to the capital?" ”

I didn't expect Brother Lin to know this news, my heart was gloomy for a while, since my mother would let the news spread, she must have made a decision, and it was almost ironclad.

"Brother Lin, in fact, the Su family didn't just want to send me to Beijing, they wanted me to participate in this year's palace election." I kept my head down, still feeling aggrieved in my heart.

Brother Lin was not surprised at all, "To be able to make the Hou Yefu so important, I should have thought that this would be the reason." Qingwu, did you already know that you didn't want to? ”

"What if you want to, and what if you don't? Brother Lin, I don't have a choice.

I originally thought that I would always have a way, I could cheat, resist, plead, go on a hunger strike, so many means.

But today I found out that the tried and tested methods that I used to deal with my master can only be used to deal with people who feel sorry for me, and I can't use them in the Su family. ”

As he spoke, my throat was sour and sour, and my voice trembled.

"There will always be other ways, Qingwu, I believe that according to your 'nature', you will never admit defeat and be willing to give in, not to mention me." Brother Lin hurriedly comforted, but to my ears, it was pale and weak, and his throat couldn't help but choke even more.

"I also thought that if I had to enter the palace, I would not hesitate to disfigure myself. It's always a dark 'flower', and there will be a way.

But now, they have 'handed over' me a heavy burden, and the relationship is not the honor and disgrace of the Su family, but the survival or death.

If I refuse, then I am undoubtedly the eternal sinner of the Su family. I really don't have an excuse to excuse myself. ”

Brother Lin stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to help me wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes, but he raised it and hesitated to put it down: "But is it because of the 'rape' in the past few days?" Your father feels threatened and wants to use your entry into the palace to make those people retreat? ”

I looked up, and his eyes were reflected in the two bright glass lamps, and for a moment the brilliance flowed, and it was even more dazzling than the stars in the night sky.

"So you know everything?"

He nodded: "I asked my friend to mobilize his friends on the road are also investigating this matter, and the more I investigate, the more frightened I become."

I naturally also know that those thieves have the same ears and eyes in the Jiangnan officialdom and even in the court in Beijing. I am afraid that the officials and bandits colluded and conspired together. Your father's move is understandable.

However, you are not the only 'daughter' of the Su family, as long as you don't want to enter the palace, I have a way to stop it.

Qingwu, Brother Lin still said the same thing, don't work too hard, everything has me. ”

For a moment, I almost couldn't suppress the grievances and 'agitation' in my heart, impulsively threw myself into his arms, hugged him tightly, pasted the snot and tears on my face on his clothes that exuded the smell of plum 'flowers', and called "Brother Lin" softly and glutinously.

He raised his hand, gently 'rubbed' my hair bun, and chuckled in a low voice, "It's so big that I still cry my nose." Wipe it off quickly, otherwise others will see it and think I'm bullying you. ”

I smiled embarrassedly, lifted my sleeve and wiped my face.

Just as he was about to open his mouth and ask Brother Lin if he had any new clues, there was a sound of small footsteps in the distance, accompanied by a low whisper: "Miss!" Miss! "It's Lan'er's voice.

Brother Lin said in a low voice: "It seems that I don't need to send you back, I will hurry up to investigate the matter of the thief in the next two days, you take care of yourself, be careful, if there is anything, let Xiao Xiang come to me." ”

I nodded, wanting to thank him again, but when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them again, and told him, "The thief is fierce, you should be more careful." ”

Brother Lin only flickered and disappeared.

Lan'er ran over panting: "Miss, why did you come here?" Who were you talking to? ”

I smiled awkwardly: "I accidentally 'lost' my way, and I stopped a little guy to ask for directions." I didn't want her to continue to ask, so I hurriedly diverted the topic and asked her, "Why did you come here?" ”

Lan'er wiped her sweat: "I went to the 'door' to inquire, and said that you have returned, but I haven't seen you go back to the yard." If you don't feel at ease, look around. ”

"Hehe, thanks to you coming, otherwise I don't know how far I have to detour." I was embarrassed to say, "Although the road in the mountains is winding and rugged, it is always easier to remember than the road in the house." ”

Lan'er stretched out her hand and grabbed her arm: "It's still Xuan'er who understands Miss, saying that if you don't leave the house every day, you must not recognize the way back to the yard." After speaking, he grabbed it twice, as if he was deliberately forbearing.

"What's wrong with you, Lan'er, is there something wrong with you?" I asked with concern.

"I don't know what's going on today, it seems like I was just bitten by an insect, and half of my arm is a little itchy." Lan'er said casually.

"There are a lot of 'flower' trees in the house that attract mosquitoes, so they should be pruned frequently. I've got a 'medicated' ointment to cool the blood, go back and let the little sample put some on you. ”

Lan'er nodded in response, and then I remembered my father's instructions and asked her to show me the way back to the courtyard, so I sent her to my mother to bring my father's words. I went straight back to the courtyard.
