In the middle of the night, a faint fragrance wafted through the house. A tall silver candlestick beside the bed shimmered faintly, reflecting the somewhat unstable figure sleeping in the tent.

The tall figure lying flat on the bed trembled slightly, his long black hair was messily scattered on the mattress, a little fine bead of sweat soaked from his smooth forehead, and a broken whisper sometimes overflowed between his slightly pale lips.

"Mother... Child... Answer... Promise..."

After a muffled snort, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, the blue and blue brilliance flowed out, the eyebrows were stretched, and after gradually calming down the disordered breath, he slowly sat up with one hand on the bed, and asked in a deep voice:

"What time is it?"

A respectful voice came from the window on one side of the room: "Three minutes ugly." ”

"But is there news of Yao Buzhi?"

"Back to the master, I haven't found it yet."

"Ten days, tell them that if they can't find it in another ten days, they won't see the king."

Li Tai leaned quietly on the head of the bed, stroked his forehead with one hand, and gently brushed the other hand towards the bedside, the candlelight was extinguished instantly, the room was dark, and the crescent moon outside the window was also covered by dark clouds.

***

Longquan Town, Lu family

Yiyu has been raised at home for more than half a month, and some flesh finally came out on her fair little face, and after Chen Qu told her that all the scars on her face had disappeared. She sat uncharacteristically by the mirror and looked at it for two quarters of an hour before she stopped, and when she changed her mind and looked at Lu Shi for a long time, she had a girl's love for beauty, and said with a smile:

"When you are ready, you can put on makeup, and my mother will buy you some high-quality lead powder rouge."

When Yi Yu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't want it, you don't need it yourself." ”

"Mother, isn't that too white to be painted?"

"Then I don't need it, it's white enough now."

In fact, Yi Yu looked in the mirror for a long time, firstly, because he hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time, and when he saw his appearance again, he inevitably saw some obvious changes, which seemed to have grown a little, and secondly, he felt that his little face was more tender than the fairness of the past, and he thought that because of the injuries on his face, he used the snow cream as a skin care product on his whole face for more than half a month, although he wasted some of it, but the effect was significant.

Lu Shi stretched out his hand and twisted it on her face, "Lead powder is not needed, rouge is always needed, okay, quickly comb your hair and come out for breakfast." With that, he turned and walked out of the house.

Xiaoman went back to her uncle's house, Chen Qu was busy working outside, so Yu Yu was lazy to tie a single braid, picked a string of simple beads and tied them at the end of the braid, stretched the forehead hair that Lu had just trimmed yesterday in front of her forehead, and winked at the mirror.

Chen Qu had consulted with Lu Shi in advance, and he couldn't wait to go back to his house after cooking in the morning. So there was a rare scene where only the four members of the Lu family had breakfast together.

Lu Jun is the most unparticular about eating, even if he drinks porridge, he likes to stir dishes inside, Lu Shi saw that he acted like a child, although he was helpless, he did not reprimand, "Jun'er, the land at the foot of the mountain, the courtyard wall will be completed in a few days, right?" ”

"Well, the wages we give are kind, and the hired workers are very serious about their work."

"Zhi'er, have you found a craftsman?" After all, it was a big mansion, and the design of the courtyard was exquisite, and the Lu family originally wanted to find someone in the town, but Lu Zhi proposed to go to the capital to find some experts.

"Well, don't worry, when the courtyard wall is up, I'll pick someone up."

The family was eating and chatting, and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the hospital-

"Is anyone home?"

Hearing this voice, Lu Zhi and Yi Yu glanced at each other, put down the dishes and chopsticks together, and Lu Zhi said to Lu Shi: "Xu is a friend in the school." ”

After speaking, the two brothers and sisters got up and went to open the door, the Lu family didn't like to eat too much for breakfast, and now they thought about having guests. He wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and listened to the movement outside.

"Anyone?"

Yi Yu walked to the door, listening to this hearty voice, his face was surprised and happy, he reached out to take off the door bolt, opened the door, and saw two figures standing outside the door, one high and one round.

Cheng Xiaofeng laughed, "But I found it," and turned his head to Cheng Xiaohu on the side and said proudly, "Look, I'll just say it's this." ”

Cheng Xiaopang turned his head sideways and muttered, "You have knocked on the doors of the five families." Then he quickly glanced back at the jade, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then turned his head away.

Yi Yu stretched out his hand and pulled Cheng Xiaofeng in, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why, it's not welcome, then I'll go back," Cheng Xiaofeng said this, but Cheng Xiaofeng's footsteps towards the courtyard did not stop, and he looked left and right at the yard that had been upside down not long ago.

Lu Zhi folded his arms and stood on the side, chuckling, "Then you can go back, so you can't leave." ”

"Hey," Cheng Xiaofeng glanced at him, "Sister didn't come to see you-Xiaoyu, this is your home, but let me find it, I asked Ah Zhi before, and he only said that it was in the south of Longquan Town." ”

Yu Yu knew that it was not easy for her to touch this alley, and it would be early in the morning. The two of them thought that they set off from Chang'an City before dawn, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"Nope." The Cheng family sisters and brothers said in unison.

Yi Yu turned around and led them towards the house, "Then come in, we're having breakfast, we're doing a lot, I'll go and add two pairs of chopsticks to you." ”

Lifting the curtain and entering the house, the two brothers and sisters saw Lu and Lu Jun sitting behind the dinner table, and without waiting for Yiyu to introduce, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute Lu, and Lu Jun, who was eating with his head down, looked up and saw that they were very surprised, and without waiting for Lu to speak, he pulled Cheng Xiaohu and asked a few words.

Lu smiled and beckoned the two to sit down, "Sit down, you haven't eaten yet." ”

Cheng Xiaohu stared at one of the plates of potatoes poured with sugar sauce on the dinner table, and nodded, "No." ”

Lu Shi asked Yiyu to go to the kitchen and put two more bowls of porridge, and when he saw that several juniors were sitting around the dining table, he got up and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go out for a walk." ”

Cheng Xiaofeng felt a little embarrassed to disturb other people's dinner at this time, and Yi Yu smiled: "It's okay, my mother has eaten before, and she didn't eat much for breakfast." ”

After Lu went out, there were only five peers left in the house. The brothers and sisters of the Cheng family are not as restrained as they were just now, their father is Cheng Yanjin, and he is the person who does not pay attention to those rigid rules, not to mention that he is very familiar with the brothers and sisters of the Lu family, and there are no elders in the house at this time, so they pick up chopsticks and chat while eating.

"Xiaoyu, I don't see any marks on your face, why Xiaohu said that you had scratches on your face, I didn't dare to ask Ah Zhi more." Cheng Xiaofeng sat next to Yi Yu and stared at her face for a while before saying.

Cheng Xiaohu had already seen Yu Yu's smooth little face outside, and wondered, "I saw it that day." That's a lot of blood. ”

Seeing that he glanced at his hand from time to time, Yi Yu moved the plate of sweet potatoes to him, "Well, there were some marks, but the medicine used was good, and there were no scars." ”

Looking at the plate placed in front of him, Cheng Xiaohu's face was slightly red, but he still couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks and put a piece in his mouth, and a satisfied smile appeared on his white and fat little face.

Cheng Xiaofeng pinched her face with one hand, and the smooth and tender feel made her slightly surprised, "It's okay." ”

After eating, Lu Jun was going to supervise the new house, and at Cheng Xiaofeng's strong request, Lu Zhi took them to the south of the forest.

When they arrived at the hawthorn forest, Yi Yu saw their greedy expressions when they looked at the red fruits on the tree, so he said loudly: "You might as well pick some and bring them back, this red claw can not only be made into rock sugar gourds, but also can be boiled in soup and water." ”

Cheng Xiaofeng immediately asked Cheng Xiaohu to take off his gauze clothes as a bag, and it was fun to pick fruits in the forest surrounded by green mountains and green waters.

The original intention of the jade was to let them pick more, these things seem to outsiders to be counted in silver, but in fact, in terms of investment and income, it is almost a business-free transaction, but Cheng Xiaofeng insisted on refusing to ask for it anymore, so she didn't force it.

Thinking that going further south would be the new house that the Lu family would build, Yi Yu's heart moved, and he said to everyone: "Let's go to the south to find my second brother, Sister Xiaofeng, Xiaohu, take you to see a good thing." ”

The price of hired workers is not expensive, except for the two old people who know how to build a house in the town, the Lu family hires a lot of people. Part of the wall was built, part of it was to dig the hot spring reservoir, which took nearly 20 days of work, the spring pool had been built, and only a special craftsman was invited to do the mechanism for diverting the water, although the semi-enclosed spring was not chiseled for the time being, but there was still a steady stream of hot spring water poured into the pool.

Lu Zhi knew that she was going to lead people to see the hot spring pool, and she didn't explain to Cheng Xiaofeng, who was curious about them.

Yi Yu came to see the pool a few days ago, and the small half of the pond was clear and smoky spring water made people look at it, and the pores all over the body were about to disperse, so I was in a good mood at this time.

But this good mood did not last long, as soon as they walked to the vicinity of the new house that was being built, they heard the quarrel inside, the outer wall was almost up, they went around from the entrance, and saw a group of people surrounding Lu Jun in a clearing in the distance, and there were many employees who stopped their work and watched the excitement in the distance.

The group of people surrounding Lu Jun were dressed very uniformly, only the leader wore a deep coat, this person compared the surroundings with one hand, and said in a loud voice:

"This land belongs to our Xu Mansion, little brother, I advise you to go home early and get the title deed and return it to Xu Mansion, otherwise don't blame us for being polite!"

Lu Jun's voice was very angry, "This land was bought by our family with silver, and the title deed is also in our hands, why should we give it to you!" ”

"Yours? Where did you buy it from, let me tell you, the title deed was stolen by a subordinate who used to work in our Xu Mansion, and it was a thief, do you know it! Hurry up and return the title deed, or we will sue the mayor, and it will not be so easy to finish the matter!" ”

Lu Jun stretched out his hand and clenched his fists, making a sound like popping beans, "If you want it, daydreaming, you guys hurry up and let me go, otherwise I'll beat people!" ”

"Haha, just you? Come on, I'll practice with you today - ouch! ”

(The second watch arrived, waving his hand to ask for a ticket (!) )
