Huo Roufeng grinned, revealing a row of snow-white and neat teeth, and she slapped Zhanhuai on the shoulder: "Good brother, righteous enough!" ”

Zhanhuai: ......

After the two of them were excited, Huo Roufeng remembered that the last time she saw Zhanhuai seemed to be the day before yesterday.

They just haven't seen each other for two days, so why is it like they are reunited after a long absence?

"Zhanhuai, you are hiding here, apart from these two old people, is there anyone else who knows?" She was testing Zhanyu's attitude.

In fact, from the time she came in to the present, Zhanhuai did not mention the Geng brothers and Zhang Sheng Ping'anhai, that is, she knew that the four of them must have been released, and she had already guessed that Zhanyu was telling him, but she still wanted to ask, after all, what she saw Zhanyu yesterday made her heart tremble.

Zhan Huai hummed, took out the crystal monkey from his arms, and wanted to put it on Huo Jiu, but when his hand stretched out, he saw the pink and green Huo Jiu, he couldn't do it a little, and handed the little monkey to Huo Jiu.

"Well, this house is divided into East Road and West Road, the West Road was originally used as a back house, but the second brother is still a princess, since he can't use it, it has been vacant, the second brother usually lives on the East Road, and the West Road only has Gui Bo and Sikong Aunt and a few rough maids, and other idlers will not come here."

Only then did Huo Roufeng know that they had come to the West Road, no wonder it was so deserted.

"When I came out of Gaosheng Hutong, I still took those two boys, I am not familiar with the capital, and I wandered around for an hour to find here, if you didn't come today, I really didn't expect you to find here."

The smile on Huo Roufeng's face gradually faded, and she said to Zhanhuai with a straight face: "I went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to see the horse. ”

Zhan Huai was stunned for a moment and said, "No wonder the second brother asked people to bring me a letter, saying that there was no need to worry about the four people who were arrested, it turned out that you had looked for him." ”

Huo Roufeng was surprised and asked, "He asked people to bring letters?" Haven't you seen him? ”

Zhanhuai nodded: "I just met him when I first arrived in the capital, he asked me not to act rashly, I haven't seen him since then, I heard Uncle Gui say that the second brother has been in the eldest princess's mansion for two or three days and has not come back." ”

Didn't come back?

His own brother is in danger, and he doesn't come back?

Although Zhanhuai respects this second brother very much, Huo Roufeng doesn't want to be a bad person, Zhanhuai is her brother and her friend who has been through hardships together, who is Zhanyu? It's just a colt.

Huo Roufeng cleared her throat and said to Zhan Huai with what she thought was a very serious expression: "I went to see Zhan Juma and told him that you were in danger, you were still trapped in Gaosheng Hutong at that time, but Zhan Juma only sent me away with a sentence that the Zhan family is not a bad seed, I had no choice, so I went to call Huang Datou and Lu Yu, and added Li Ye, and made a fuss in the house for a day, so that you could leave while there was chaos." ”

Speaking of this, she remembered the scene when she saw Zhanyu that day, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, how could she be such a brother.

Zhanhuai could feel that Huo Jiu was angry, but he didn't understand why Huo Jiu was angry.

"Xiao Jiu, I don't think my second brother is right, our Zhan family just doesn't have a bad seed, you see, didn't I come out intact?"

Huo Roufeng glared: "But he didn't care about you, you came out of Gaosheng Hutong by yourself, and you came here by yourself, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

"Xiao Jiu, you misunderstood my second brother, alas, I don't know how to explain it to you, you will slowly understand in the future, our family ...... My second brother has a lot of burdens. Zhan Huai said, his eyes moved down, and he saw the knot on Huo Roufeng's skirt.

Huo Roufeng also lowered her head with him, and also saw the knot, she said helplessly: "It's really annoying to pretend to be a woman, the skirt is so long." ”

Zhanhuai stood up suddenly, and then he squatted down in front of Huo Roufeng and untied the knot on his skirt.

"Why do you have to untie it, I finally tied it." Huo Roufeng said.

Zhanhuai rolled up the skirt and measured it, and said to Huo Roufeng: "In the future, when you cut clothes shorter, you can cut them three inches shorter, just this size, and you won't trip when you walk." ”

His eyelashes are very long, and when Huo Roufeng looks at them from above, he can see the roots of his eyelashes, which are straight, unlike her eyelashes that are slightly upturned.

Huo Roufeng tilted her head, at this moment she felt that Zhanhuai was also very good-looking, Zhanhuai was good-looking, which was different from Xie Sicheng's.

Xie Sicheng is the moonlight in the quiet night, tranquil and detached, but Zhanhuai is as vivid as the sun in the morning, and his spirit is radiant.

"Well, I remember, if I dress up as a woman in the future, I will cut my skirt three inches shorter."

The morning sun shone in through the old window lattice, Huo Roufeng's face was bright and dark, but a pair of big eyes were as bright as spring water.

......

After the people of the Huo family left, Zhanhuai sat alone on the mahogany chair that was said to be more than a hundred years old, looking at the cup used by Huo Jiu just now, and laughing stupidly.

Xiao Jiu didn't even wear a skirt, it was the first time she was dressed as a woman, but she saw it for him.

Aunt Sikong walked in and asked, "Fifth Master, Hua Sanniang is here." ”

Zhanhuai came to his senses and said, "Let her in." ”

Hua Sanniang wore a coarse cloth dress, and on a cold day, her hands were exposed outside her sleeves, frozen red, and there were chilblains on it.

Zhanhuai sniffed, and Hua Sanniang brought in a fishy smell.

Hua Sanniang's face was also red from the cold, her skin was rough, and she looked more than ten years old.

Zhanhuai looked at her and said, "What?" Pretending to be a fish seller? ”

Hua Sanniang saluted Zhan Huai in a proper manner, and said with a smile: "Slaves and maids have been begging for a living in the fish and shrimp market these days, don't underestimate this fish and shrimp market, the weather in the north is cold, and the river is frozen in winter, and if you want to fish, you have to pry the ice, so the price of fresh fish and shrimp in winter is several times that of weekdays, and ordinary people can't afford to eat, and it is easier for slaves and maids to enter and leave large households." ”

Zhan Huai said: "No wonder Huo Jiu can't find you, next time you leave, you have to say it, don't let people worry about you." ”

Hua Sanniang rolled her eyes in her heart, would Huo Jiu be worried about her? Huo Jiu would only blackmail her and let her do things for the Huo family.

But the Ninth Master was obviously partial, of course she couldn't say it, she could only nod frequently.

Zhanhuai asked, "How much have you found out about Xie Sicheng?" ”

Hua Sanniang said: "After Xie Sicheng was arrested and put in prison, he was quietly released the next day, but he neither went to the bookstore street nor the residence he rented in the capital, but went out of the capital. When the slave maid went to Shi's house to deliver fish, she happened to hear that a steward of the Shi family also went out of Beijing to do business, and the steward went to Luoyang, and Xie Sicheng also took the road to Henan, but I don't know if he also went to Luoyang. ”

"Historian? Which historian? Zhanhuai asked.

Hua Sanniang said: "It is the home of Shi Shiyuan, the head of the eldest princess's mansion, his younger brother is Shu Jishi, who has not yet dispersed, and is still in the Hanlin Academy, so Shi Yuan and the people of the Hanlin Academy are very close, and often participate in poetry and tea parties together." ”
