Chapter 9: You have some reasoning
There have been several robbers in Anyang recently, Lu Zhiyuan is very busy, and sometimes the reading of the case file will not end until late at night, because it is too late, so he will rest in the study nearby.
Bai Susu can't help with these things, except for bringing soup and water to the study every day, he can't do anything.
"Auntie, it's not too early." Chunlan watched her slowly finish breakfast, and refused to move the place, so she had to remind her.
Bai Susu pursed her lips and sighed lowly, "Then let's go." ”
Although Mama Zhuang cooks everything in the house, in the early days of each month, Bai Susu still has to pretend to sit in the front yard for a whole morning.
Because of the shop outside the Lu family, Zhuangzi has to reconcile accounts once a month, and Bai Susu, as the woman with the highest status in the Lu Mansion for the time being, naturally has to attend at this time.
Of course, she went just to be distracted, but she couldn't go.
Out of the Hefeng Courtyard, Bai Susu held Chunlan's hand and walked slowly to the front yard.
As soon as I passed through the weeping flower gate and walked to the corridor, I saw a man in a green cloth robe walking over, his long hair tied up at the back of his head, and his very handsome face was obviously surprised when he saw her, and then brought out layers of smiles.
Bai Susu was stunned by this gaze, and felt a little strange feeling in his heart, since he had met him, there was naturally no reason not to say hello.
"Mr. Zhang."
Her voice was low and soft, and she bowed her head towards him, with a smile on her face that was palpably alienated and indifferent when she looked closely.
This person will hold the power of life and death in ten years, she can't be offended, but she really can't get much close, if it weren't for his words, how would Lord Lu ......
Zhang Ping nodded at her, with a slight smile in his voice, "Aunt Bai also went to the account room?" ”
Bai Susu nodded, and listened to him continue, "I'm just about to go over too." ”
Since they are on the same path, they are naturally moving forward together.
"Has Aunt Bai ever been to the capital?" Zhang Ping asked.
Bai Susu looked at him sideways with a little puzzled face, "Why did Mr. Zhang say this?" ”
"Listening to Aunt Bai's accent actually has a bit of a Beijing flavor, that's why I asked." He smiled.
The voice is not hurried or slow, and it sounds like a spring breeze.
Bai Susu's eyes flashed with surprise, because of the amazement revealed in this smile, and because of his words.
"When I was a child, there was a gentleman in the village who came back from the capital, and I learned to speak with him for a few years." Bai Susu said in a calm voice.
She grew up in a small mountain village, and for many years she spoke with an obvious local accent, and then went to the capital, and her mouth was very different from others.
"I see." He smiled, and he reached out and made a gesture of please, "We're here." ”
Bai Susu bowed his head and took the first step into the door.
Inside the house, Mama Zhuang and a few outside stewards have arrived.
Once she sat down in her chair, she began to reconcile the accounts.
All morning, Bai Susu sat upright in his chair, and after the teacup was empty three times, the accounts of the three stewards had been reconciled.
She was about to breathe a sigh of relief when the man who had been sitting in the room without speaking stood up, holding the account book in his hand, and said to her, "This is the account of the first half of the year. ”
Bai Susu was suddenly deflated, so he had to resign himself to sitting down again.
Zhang Ping's voice was very good, even such a boring account book, there was an indescribable comfort coming out of his mouth.
By the time the accounts were finished, it was already an hour later.
When Bai Susu came out of the account room, he reached out and touched his stomach, he knew that it was so late, and he should have eaten more for breakfast.
Chunlan went to the kitchen to get food, and she stood by the weeping flower door and waited.
There was a low laugh behind her, and as soon as she turned around, she saw the man standing behind her at some point, and her brows were subconsciously twisted.
"Mr. Zhang." She got up and took a step back, politely.
"Aunt Bai doesn't seem to want to see me." He had a smile on his face, but his eyes narrowed.
"Mr. Zhang misunderstood." Bai Susu shook his head and lowered his head.
It's not just that I don't want to see it, it's like a snake and scorpion.
"Oh?" He laughed softly again and took a step forward, "Then Aunt Bai wants to see me?" ”
Bai Susu's face sank immediately, "Mr. Zhang said cautiously. ”
When others heard this, she couldn't wash it even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
"Your maid is here." He looked past her and looked at Chunlan, who was walking over here with a food box.
When Chunlan came over, she could only see a figure from a distance, she poked her head and muttered, "That was Mr. Zhang just now, right?" ”
Bai Susu shook his head, "I don't know, probably." ”
The two returned to Hefeng Temple together and had lunch.
During the three-day reconciliation period, she only needs to attend for one day, and Mama Zhuang will take care of the next things.
Bai Susu sat like a wooden man all morning, which made her have a terrible backache, so Chunlan rubbed her on the side.
"It hurts, light." She grumbled dissatisfiedly.
The force behind her suddenly lightened, and it slid over her like a tickle.
"I'm pushing a little harder."
"A little bit down."
"Oh."
"Well, right here, I'm using some strength."
She lay on the bed, her eyes half-squinted, and the strength of her body comfortably made her drowsy for a while.
It's just that the hand on her waist, I don't know when it slipped along her waist and fell somewhere else, lifting her thin fabric, the rough touch brought extreme numbness and trembling.
Her sleepiness dissipated instantly, and when she turned around, she saw a pair of eyes looking at him with a smile.
"Second master."
A smile instantly crossed her face, and she moved to rest her head on his lap.
"Why are you back at this hour?"
It's not dark yet.
"Aren't you clamoring to go out, I'll take you out for a walk." He flicked his fingers at the broken hair on her forehead, and his voice was calm.
Bai Susu couldn't hide his surprise, "Now? ”
Lu Zhiyuan nodded, "You don't want to?" ”
Bai Susu hurriedly shook his head and nodded again, "Yes, yes." ”
Lu Zhiyuan chuckled at her appearance, he reached out and touched her head, "Let Chunlan pack a few clothes for you, we won't be back in a few days this trip." ”
Bai Susu was even more surprised, but she didn't think much about it, she hurriedly got up from the bed, called Chunlan to the door, and packed her clothes.
After it was completely dark, a carriage left quietly from the backyard of the Lu Mansion.
The car was walking all the way, Bai Susu fell asleep in the car in a daze, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.
She looked around in a daze, and only then did she realize that she was no longer in the Lu Mansion now.
"Auntie, are you hungry?" Chunlan looked excited on the side.
"Where did this go?" Bai Susu lifted the curtain and looked outside, and there was a mountain in his eyes, and there was a very unfamiliar scenery all around.
"I heard the second master say, let's go to Liuhua County." Chunlan said.
Bai Susu was stunned, Liuhua County and Anyang County were a full day and a half away, how could Hao Duanduan go there.
She thought that Lu Zhiyuan was taking her on a trip this time, but when she was resting halfway, she got out of the car and saw Zhang Ping and Xu Zi'an who were talking to Lu Zhiyuan, and knew that it was not so simple as traveling.
She got out of the car to say hello and went back to the car.
When the curtain was lowered, she subconsciously looked behind her for some reason, and she always felt that a pair of eyes were looking at her all the time.
Bai Susu shook her head, she was really stunned recently.
Lunch was for her and Chunlan in the car, and Lu Zhiyuan and they sat on the ground outside, talking and laughing and not knowing what they were talking about.
When the car arrived at night, it arrived in Liuhua County.
They stayed directly at an inn.
After a day and a night, several people looked very tired, and after freshening up, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Bai Susu lay on the bed and looked at Lu Zhiyuan's handsome face under the light, her brows were slightly twisted, and she flipped through the case file in her hand, and her eyes naturally revealed deep affection.
The dim light made her unconsciously feel like she had returned to a long, long time ago.
"Su Su ......" Lu Zhiyuan raised his head from a pile of case files and saw a woman sleeping soundly with her face sideways.
He rubbed his neck, got up and took off his shirt, and when he walked to the bedside, he saw the woman who took up almost the entire bed, helplessly holding her forehead.
Bai Susu was sleeping soundly and was pushed to wake up, his brain hadn't woken up yet, and his expression was a little reluctant, "I didn't let people sleep in the middle of the night." ”
Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, and was laughed at by her tone, "Bai Susu, you have something to be reasonable." ”
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, disturb people's dreams, and complain that I'm unreasonable." She pursed her lips and snorted.
Lu Zhiyuan stared, why didn't he see it earlier, this woman is not only coquettish, but also has a great temper.
There was silence in the room.
Bai Susu got up and rubbed her eyes, this will be sober, and she regrets it a little in her heart, she is throwing Lu Zhiyuan's face. His eyes rolled around, and a smile bloomed on his face, "Second master, why don't you sleep at night?" ”
"Come on, I want to sleep, you see that you occupy a whole bed by yourself, but move me somewhere." Lu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek, "It's really a little conscienceless, and he will beat her upside down." ”
Bai Susu blushed, pulled his little hand on the placket of his clothes, and said in a low voice, "Second master, I know it's wrong." ”
Lu Zhiyuan didn't really want to be angry with her, but looking at her red face because she had just woken up, he suddenly became interested.
"Just know what to do?" He stared at her with a straight face, his eyes heavy, "If you do something wrong, you will be punished." ”
Bai Susu seemed to be angry when he heard his voice, and his heart suddenly felt a little uneasy.
As soon as she looked up, the dark shadow in front of her was suppressed, and before she could react, her lips were covered.
Lingering grinding, a long deep kiss.
Slid from her lips to her sideburns, across her white neck, and down again, startling with unbridled panic and tingling shivers to the bone.
The night is getting deeper, and spring is thick.
