When the news of Ma coming back came out from Qianzhi to Zhang Yibo's study, the entire palace was in an inexplicable and silent boil.

The rulers of the palace tacitly did not come to visit, and although the subordinates had gossip in their hearts, no one talked about it.

"Senior, do you have any other orders?"

When Ma turned around and glanced at the dilapidated yard, he nodded with satisfaction, and then walked towards the old tree with a crooked neck, touching the bark of the old tree very happily. The branch of the crooked old tree sticks out of the courtyard, and there is a bird's nest on it, and now there are small birds waiting to be fed.

"No, no."

According to the speculation of the people in the rivers and lakes, the old man is already over ninety years old, because when the hemp doctor was born forty years ago. At that time, when Ma Po was already a wise man with a lot of old looks.

Jianghu people are also ordinary people, as long as they are not the legendary saints, they have a trace of gossip, so the legend about this medical saint has been passed down for more than 40 years.

Forty years ago, I don't know if it was the talkative man, but it was rumored that this healer was a doctor who had become a saint in his medical skills, and he had become a living immortal walking in this world.

In fact, it's not nonsense from people in this world, when Ma was not flattered as a saint back then, he was called Mr. Sanwu, who did everything, no one did not treat, and no disease could be treated.

These three no, refers to when hemp any disease can be cured, anyone can be cured, as for the last one is the ideal of hemp, may the world be free of disease can be treated, it can be seen that when hemp medical skills are clever, more expressive is his hand to heal the heart, can be called the world of evildoers.

If an ordinary doctor has such a means to bring the dead back to life, heal people and heal the heart, so this saying that hemp medicine is sanctified is spread more and more until everyone in the world knows it.

When Ma neither refuted nor admitted, he just walked in the rivers and lakes and continued to sweat silently for the world.

When Ma entered the door, this yard was originally used by the Zhang family to put some sundries, although it was built to be used as a guest room, but due to various things, it was placed, until when Ma moved in, there were still all kinds of sundries.

If you have to say that this yard is good, then its only good is quiet, and there is no other reason.

There is not a trace of dust in the house, just like in the courtyard, there is no change at all, it is still the same as when he first left, which shows the importance that this palace attaches to him as a medical saint.

When Ma shook his head, he was a little helpless about the etiquette of the palace.

"The whole courtyard, that is, the big girl and the seventh girl, are to my liking."

Qianzhi didn't dare to speak, so she waited outside the door for Dangma to speak.

When Ma turned around and saw that Qianzhi was still following behind him, he said: "You girl, you should learn from your young lady, don't keep a face every day, okay, you go down." ”

"Yes."

......

Zhang Li and Xiao Qi sat in the courtyard, Liu Yunhua did not come back, Xiao Qi could only confide in Zhang Li the bitterness in his heart, and said bad things about Zhang Biao.

Zhang Li just listened, snorted, and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi seems to have suffered a lot." ”

Zhang Li's voice sounded towards Xiao Qi, but Xiao Qi knew that this was Zhang Li's usual style, since Zhang Li said this kind of thing, the next sentence would ask Xiao Qi why, want to do something, etc.

Xiao Qi glanced at the eldest sister in front of him lightly, sighed kindly and softly, and said: "I'm not a fragrant dumpling, it's because of that broken hairpin that I got into trouble." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhang Li seemed to have already known what Xiao Qi wanted to say, stared at the young sister in front of her, who had not yet lost her childish face, and said, "You..."

I wanted to do something, say something, but I didn't know what to do, and sighed helplessly. All of a sudden, the mood of the two of them was sluggish, and they looked at each other like this, and their eyes showed different sadness.

"Sister, do you know?"

Zhang Li nodded, and said melancholy: "People are only one life, one life is only a hundred years, and there are thousands of things in the world in a hundred years, and there are a few times when I am satisfied." ”

I don't know whether this sentence is said to myself or to Xiao Qi, and then, I smiled miserably.

"Big sister, you think I should be like this?"

Xiao Qi didn't ask her why she knew, how did she know, because this was her eldest sister's answer, and she could block most of the questions.

"Don't think about anything, there is the entire palace behind you, no one will understand you."

Xiao Qi nodded, and then fell silent again.

"Tomorrow the uncles will be back."

Xiao Qi sighed, and there was no follow-up.

"The princes from other places in the capital now want to make friends with our Zhang family, but they were stabbed by King Huinan, but no one wants to come over. Now, His Majesty the Emperor has recalled all the local officials to return to Beijing with the statement that the princes and ministers from all over the country have reported their work, but they all know it.

How can it be so simple to return to Beijing this time, once a son of heaven and a courtier, and now His Majesty the Emperor has been in obscurity for three years, and no one knows that this is going to be a powerful minister with a sword. ”

After the inexplicable words were finished, Zhang Li got up and said to Xiao Qi: "Xiao Qi, you must know that no one in this world will escape those inexplicable arrangements, you are the son of the Zhang family, and you will share the family fate borne by our clan for the Zhang family." ”

I don't care or worry about whether Xiao Qi understands or not, Zhang Li uncharacteristically told Xiao Qi a lot of things in the DPRK and China, and things in the rivers and lakes.

"A few days ago, I thought that your life should not be controlled by others, but today, I think it is a good choice for you to marry into the palace."

Until the end, Zhang Li said this sentence, "Of course, this is just that I think that I can still give you resistance to the big sister now, but you have to know this, it's not that my sister wants to deliberately bully you, right and wrong, with the little sister's mind, I can naturally guess it." ”

Zhang Li walked out of the courtyard gate, and Xiao Qi looked at Zhang Li's figure silently.

"Is it a heavy responsibility?" Xiao Qi smiled bitterly, it was difficult to make a choice all of a sudden, if he really chose to forget about the rivers and lakes, would it bring a huge blow to Zhang's mansion.

"Miss, what are you doing in a daze?"

Xue Yi brought snacks to Xiao Qi and Zhang Li, but found that Zhang Li had already left.

"Why did you come back so late?"

Xue Yi replied, "I bought a new pastry from outside the house in the kitchen today, and I knew that the young lady was hungry, so I waited for a while." ”

"Oh? New pastries? ”

Xiao Qi took the food box that Xue Yi put on the table, opened the food box, first pulled out a plate from the inside, and then took out the oil paper bag, unwrapped the oil paper, revealing the golden pastry inside.

Looking at this round golden thing, which looked very good, he picked up the pastry, pinched it softly, and there was a layer of white stuff in the middle, and asked, "What kind of dim sum is this?"

"They say it's a puff."

"Puffs?"

Xue Yi said again: "I heard from the people in the kitchen that this is a palace pastry that has recently been circulated from the palace. They said that maybe this was the craft that His Majesty the Emperor had learned from that intellectualist in the West. ”

"Zhiguo?"

Xiao Qi frowned and put the pastry back in the tray, how could she not know that his parents disappeared because of their mission to this country.

As for the incident that came out of the palace, Xiao Qi just regarded it as a joke, as Zhang Li said just now, the person in the palace is in the whole country, how can he be in any mood to give the palace chef such a trivial matter as making pastries.

Xiao Qi suddenly woke up, if it wasn't from the palace, it was Zhiguo's pastry, then...

"Xue Yi, go and inquire, what is the name of this dim sum shop? Is it still the time-honored crispy restaurant in Beijing? ”

Xue Yi nodded, and out of the yard, Xiao Qi took the food box to the house, although Ting'er and Ai Yaya didn't know what Xiao Qi and Zhang Li said, but through the window, they knew that it was not a happy thing to see the looks of the two.

Xiao Qi wrote her unhappiness on her face, and of course Ting'er didn't dare to speak when she saw it, for fear of making Xiao Qi unhappy again, so she simply shouted "Miss Seven".

Xiao Qi put the food box on the kang, "These are the newly launched pastries outside, you can try them." ”

Ting'er didn't move, Ai Yaya looked up and said, "That's it?"

Then he didn't care about Xiao Qi's expression at all, picked it up and put it in his mouth, "Well, yes, Miss, you should also try it." Although I don't know what's going on, I've heard Aunt Liu say that Miss is a person who will live up to the world's food. ”

"Aunt Liu is talking again."

Xiao Qi smiled and agreed with Ai Yaya's statement.

Picked up a piece of puff and handed it to Ting'er, Xiao Qi knew that if she didn't hand it over to Ting'er, she wouldn't go over and take it herself like Ai Yaya.

I picked up another piece and put it in my mouth, and my mouth went from crisp to soft, and then a sweet and soft feeling came to my mind.

"Well, it's really good."

When Xue Yi came back from inquiring, a box of puffs had already been eaten by the three of them until only the residue remained.

Ting'er was a little embarrassed, thinking about not eating it just now, but it turned out that she ate the most. was quick for a while, and there was no Xue Yi's share, not even Liu Yunhua's share.

"Otherwise, I'll go get a few more."

Ting'er opened her mouth and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xue Yi, who had just come in.

"No need Sister Ting'er, there's no more in the kitchen."

Hearing this, Ting'er was even more ashamed, Hongxia instantly appeared, and said word by word: "Then I'll go out of the house to buy it now."

"What are you going out to buy?"

At the right time, Liu Yunhua came back, carrying two packs of oiled paper wrapped in things, and before he entered the door of the inner room, he said comfortably in the outhouse: "Don't worry about those things first, I brought you back good things, but it's a pity that Xiao Qi has no mouth."

"You're back?" The moment he entered the door, Liu Yunhua, who saw Xiao Qi, said a word, and then stopped saying anything else.

"Since we're back, let's eat together."

Xiao Qi said: "Aunt Liu, I am very disappointed to listen to your words. ”

"What's the disappointment?"

"Aunt Liu is not disappointed, just yesterday I saw Aunt Liu take something from that tree in the yard."

After Ai Yaya finished speaking, he couldn't stop laughing like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

"What? Aunt Liu! ”
