Xiao Jiangyuan immediately hid to the side, and stood with his hands down, like a most ordinary little guy, waiting for the merry master to finish talking. She wasn't interested at all in what Li Longji talked about with the little lady, but she couldn't help but raise her eyes to see what the little lady looked like, but she could only see Li Longji's back.

After thinking about it, she seemed to be a little redundant here, so she slowly and silently retreated. She walked to the release pond not far away, and when she saw the colorful colored fish crowding and tumbling inside, she shook her head unconsciously.

Next to the release pond grows a towering and lush sycamore, on which hang a lot of wormwood and various colored silk ribbons, wormwood floats, silk ribbons hang down, and move with the wind. Xiao Jiangyuan walked to the plane tree, raised her eyes to look, and all she saw was moving, but she inexplicably felt that her body and mind had gained a long-lost tranquility.

It was Wu Cao leaning on the couch in the past, and when he was reading a book, he threw a smile at her.

It was Shangguan Wan'er who threw away the scroll in the past, quoted the scriptures when she opened her mouth, and held her arm when telling her stories.

It was Li Longji who gave the score in the past, listened expectantly, but finally frowned.

It's too easy to lose your mind, but you can't quit it. Xiao Jiangyuan had to lower his head and let himself stop looking at it in order to sober up. Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of her eyes, and in the palm of her hand lay five five-colored strands of similar length and thickness.

These five-color strands are very delicately braided, with beaded patterns, because they are made of silk thread, and the luster has a soft texture.

Xiao Jiangyuan glanced at it steadily, then raised his head, and sure enough, Li Longji had already stood in front of him, with an indescribable tenderness in his expression. He still withdrew the five-colored wisps, put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly and said, "Can't you wait for me for a while?" ”

When he first found out that Xiao Jiangyuan was gone, Li Longji was startled, and the first thing he thought about was whether Li Bao'er was a thief who was still full of eyeliner all over Chang'an, and found Xiao Jiangyuan and ...... her Later, I thought that Li Bao'er was just a step for those so-called eyeliner officials, they gave money, and Li Bao'er gave them official titles, they bought and sold, and they had already cleared up, how could they be loyal to Li Bao'er to such a point?

Thinking that Xiao Jiangyuan has always been by her side, if she is taken away, there will be no sound and movement at all, then she will leave by herself. She was not particularly familiar with the West Market, so she would definitely not go far, so he went to the release pond first. As soon as he arrived at the release pool, he saw that the edge of the pool was not far away, and Xiao Jiangyuan stood there straight, looking up at the luxuriant sycamores, with a shallow smile on his lips.

The curvature of the corners of her lips is not the most standard, but with a slight curl, and the smile is completely different from the past, without the slightest polite alienation.

He stared at her, and he couldn't help but walk towards her.

Seeing that she suddenly lowered her head and the smile on her lips disappeared, he was a little puzzled, so he walked in front of her and stopped. But she didn't notice it at all, he couldn't help laughing, rubbed the silk wisps in his hand, and stretched out his palm.

"The slave has been waiting for Ah Lang." Xiao Jiangyuan said while slandering, otherwise she would have walked away directly, why would she still be around here?

Li Longji frowned: "Then can't you tell me before you come here?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan crossed his hands and lowered his eyes in a proper manner: "The slave is afraid of disturbing Ah Lang Yaxing." ”

"Yaxing?" Li Longji was surprised at first, then after thinking about it, he couldn't help but chuckle, "Do you think I'm messing with flowers and grass and showing mercy everywhere?" ”

"It's Alang's right." Xiao Jiangyuan said lightly, neither affirming nor denying.

“…… Reach out. Li Longji's face changed and changed, and he finally said angrily.

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a moment and stretched out his left hand.

Li Longji immediately said: "Right hand!" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was afraid that after he stretched out his right hand, Li Longji would have some incomprehensible requests, so he didn't move first and said, "Why? ”

Seeing that Xiao Jiangyuan dared to be disobedient, Li Longji raised his eyebrows: "Where did the madman come from, and he dared to contradict the master's orders?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan pursed his lips, and finally smiled as before, and replaced his right hand. Only then did Li Longji ease his tone: "Take it." As he spoke, he handed five five-colored wisps to Xiao Jiangyuan's left hand, then picked up one of them and wrapped it around Xiao Jiangyuan's right wrist, "This is the longevity thread, also called Zhu Suo, the continuation of life, and the longevity thread." Come, San Lang will continue to live on Zhixi, and I wish Zhixi to live a long life year after year. ”

Xiao Jiangyuan then remembered that she had seen this thing in the palace before. It's just that Wu Cao and Shangguan Wan'er didn't believe in this, so naturally they didn't know what she was used for. When she saw that neither of them cared very much, she automatically felt that it was not an important thing, and its significance was not worth mentioning, and everyone had fun just because it was too boring.

But today, she felt that the five-colored silk on her wrist was extraordinary, not only very eye-catching, but also deeply felt a bit of weight. She unconsciously raised her eyes and saw Li Longji's movements were gentle, and his expression was even more gentle. After Li Longji finished tying, she hurriedly took two steps back and solemnly bowed: "Zhixi, thank you Ah Lang." ”

Li Longji saw that he was just tying her a long life, and she was so polite, it was too polite, and he suddenly felt a little bored. Xiao Jiangyuan observed Li Longji's disappointed expression, hesitated, and said, "The slave maid originally wanted to blame, but there are too many people here, and it is bound to attract attention. Seeing Li Longji's face full of surprise, she smiled, and continued, "How deep the gratitude is, how heavy the gift is." No one has ever tied a long-lived thread for a slave, and Ah Lang is the first, and perhaps the last. ”

Li Longji's face eased at this time, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is it fifteen?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan shook his head.

"No?"

Xiao Jiangyuan still shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Li Longji raised his eyebrows: "You don't know?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan said indifferently, as if all this was taken for granted: "The slave does not know when she was born. ”

Li Longji was silent and said, "...... What about your parents? ”

"I don't know."

"Do you have any people?"

"The slave doesn't even know her parents, so how can she know who the people are?"

"There are no parents, and there are no clansmen......," Li Longji mused, "Then why did you call you a crow slave and later change your name to Jiang Yuan?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan pursed his lips and smiled: "The crow slave is a name that was nicknamed because the slave was dark when she was a child. Slaves and maids don't have names. ”

"Then what's going on with Jiang Yuan? Such a particular name will never be a joke, it must be a name that has been carefully thought out and chosen just for you. ”

"Jiang Yuan is indeed a gift from the deceased."

"Who?" Seeing Xiao Jiangyuan silently silent, Li Longji lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "Then how did you enter the palace in the first place, and how did you become a eunuch?" ”

"The slave has been in the court for as long as she can remember. As for how they got in, although the slave and maid didn't know, they could imagine it. ”

In the court, many maidservants came in because of the family's crimes, and Shangguan Wan'er and her mother Zheng were like this back then.

"You're from the court?"

"Exactly."

"And then my grandmother found out and promoted to the side?"

“…… Almost. ”

"When you can remember, you were already in the court, and you have no impression of your parents, so it is very likely that you did not enter the court when you were an infant."

Xiao Jiangyuan thought for a moment and nodded: "What Ah Lang said is very true. ”

"In that case...... Li Longji's eyes burned on Xiao Jiangyuan's face, "You and Shangguan Wan'er are too similar." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was so exquisite, how could he not hear Li Longji mean something, and smiled slightly: "It is precisely to be different from her that the slave maid chose to be a eunuch at the beginning, and now, it is even more different." ”

Li Longji's eyes narrowed slightly: "What's the difference?" ”

Xiao Jiangyuan looked at Li Longji squarely, the corners of his lips were like a crescent moon like hooks, and his eyes were shining like stars: "I will not betray my loyalty." ”

Before the sun set, the dusk drum began to beat. Because the West City is not too far from Xingqingfang, where the Five Kings' Mansion is located, under the three hundred twilight drums, Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan can also get home in time, so he pulls Xiao Jiangyuan for a good stroll in the twilight.

Li Longji turned his eyes and glanced at Xiao Jiangyuan, who was indifferent, and said: "If you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely go through the files of the court, and the criminal slaves who have not entered the court, regardless of their original identity, family background and place of origin, or the charges obtained by their family, will be recorded in detail, and then you will know who you are, and maybe you can rehabilitate your family." ”

Xiao Jiangyuan was a little puzzled: "What is the original identity of the slave maid, which family does she belong to, and is it so important?" ”

Li Longji hooked his lips and smiled: "I'm just curious, what kind of family can give birth to someone like you." Why, aren't you curious? ”

"What is there to be curious about?"

"That's your origin, your roots. When people live in the world, they should at least know where they come from, right? You have the blood of the surname He in your body, don't you really want to know? ”

Xiao Jiangyuan nodded "um": "I don't want to know." After a pause, he added, "You don't need to know." ”

Li Longji did not expect such an answer, this is really unfilial and rebellious, but it came out of her mouth so naturally. He was a little incredulous: "You really don't have the slightest affection and miss for your parents and family?" ”

Ah Lang asked this strangely. The slave and maid have been in the court since they were children, and at that time, both their parents and the family have been destroyed. The slave has never met her parents, and she doesn't know anything about the family, so where can she talk about feelings? If curiosity is enough, if you say that you miss, and whether there is nowhere to read at all, wouldn't it be too strange if the slave really had that kind of affection for a group of people who could not be seen or touched? ”

Every sentence is reasonable, Li Longji can't help but think it is true after hearing it, but he still can't help but feel distressed, and at the same time relieved, isn't it a blessing that she can have such a heart? And so, that's fine.

The Five Kings' Mansion is already in sight. Seeing that Li Longji and Xiao Jiangyuan were back, he hurriedly bowed and retreated into the house. After a while, three beautiful women and two pink-carved children walked out of the gate, and when they saw Li Longji, they all smiled.

The smile was heroic, gentle, gentle, and immature.

Li Longji was stunned and then happy when he saw them, and he just walked briskly for a while, and his footsteps immediately stopped. As soon as he turned around to look at Xiao Jiangyuan's expression, he heard a milky child's voice innocently coming: "Aye! ”
