The three figures stretched very long under the rays of the setting sun, and the lame Wen Wuji was holding a bamboo cane, but his speed was not slow at all, and he kept urging Zhao Lu, the bad guy who was walking in front.

"Boss Wen, don't rush! The little girl will be fine, and what's wrong with the child being hungry for one meal or two? ”

"Sensei nonsense, I'm hungry for you to try two meals. I'm not afraid of anything else, now that the hearts of the people in this world are declining, what if this child is taken captive! ”

Wen Ran wanted to step forward to help his father, but Wen Wuji broke free: "Wen Ran, don't help me, grandpa's legs and feet can still withstand it." ”

When they came to the house at the end of the winding alley, the sycamore trees outside the wall seemed to be withered, and leaves kept falling. Zhao Lu pointed to the gate and said, "That's right, it's this one." ”

He quickly stepped forward and pushed hard, and the inside was not only bolted, but also propped up the top door stick.

"Little girl of the Li family, open the door quickly!"

……

"Ahem, ahem, who."

Wen Ran wanted to laugh when he heard it, and the tone of an immature child's voice pretending to be an old man sounded unbearable. She seemed to see the girl shuffling out through the crack in the door.

Li Mei'er was very alert, she didn't open the door, she looked into the crack in the door and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"It's me!" Zhao Lu put his face close to the crack in the door, pretending to be smiling and said, "Your brother's colleague, you still remember me, I rented this house to you." ”

Li Mei'er shook her head categorically: "I don't know you, my brother will be back soon, and what he hates the most is strangers." ”

"Hey! Little girl! You dare to say you haven't seen me? Zhao Lu jumped to his feet in anger on the side.

"I just don't."

Wen Ran pursed her lips and smiled, this little girl has a child's innocence and intelligence, well-behaved, cute and sensible. She stretched out her hand to pull Zhao Lu away and said, "Brother Zhao, let me try." ”

She squatted on the opposite side of the crack in the door, showed a very infectious smile and said, "Your name is Li Mei'er, I am your brother Li Siye's friend Wen Ran." Your brother has to handle a big case, and he can't go home for more than ten days, so he asked us to come to you and take you to our house for a few days. ”

Li Mei'er stared blankly at Wen Ran's eyes, she didn't know if she could believe the sister in the crack of the door. But she didn't dare to go out because she was afraid, and she was already hungry twice at home, and if she continued to starve, Zhenger would starve herself to death.

"Sister, you're a bad person."

"yes, phew, no, I'm not a bad person." Wen Ran was stumbled by Li Mei'er's unexpected question, and asked with a smile, "How can you think that Sister is a bad person?" My sister is really your brother's friend, how can you believe it? ”

Li Mei'er lowered her head and thought about it, then raised her head again and said, "Okay, let me ask you, what does my brother look like?" ”

Wen Ran felt a little embarrassed, he visited in prison yesterday, he didn't pay much attention to Li Siye, plus it was evening at that time, and it was very dark in the cell, he only remembered that Li Siye was a very tall and strong person, and he was still a very bold disciple.

"Your brother is big, tall and strong, right?"

"Not bad. You got it right. Li Mei'er stepped forward to open the door stall and took off the top door stick. She pulled the door in, and Snenter was still crouching in front of her.

Li Mei'er glanced at this beautiful sister, and her eyes began to look at the Hu Biscuits in her basket, the burnt yellow pancakes exuded the fragrance of sugar. Li Mei'er swallowed saliva unconsciously, and even her stomach rumbled.

Wen Ran lifted the basket in front of her, picked up one and handed it to her: "This cake was originally bought for you, Mei'er, eat it quickly." ”

Li Mei'er reached out and took the cake, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it in a big gulp, looking really hungry. Wen Ran had compassion, she had a time when she was hungry, and that feeling was very uncomfortable, so she sympathized with Li Meier more and more.

Wen Ran said indignantly: "It's really irresponsible to be a brother, and he actually left his sister at home alone. ”

When Li Mei'er heard this, she quickly stopped chewing and raised her head to retort: "Brother is not what you think, he just earns money for Mei'er and forgets the time." ”

The bad guy Zhao Lu wanted to say something, but Wen Ran looked back with her eyes, and she seemed to be talking to herself: "Of course I know, I mean, if your brother really cares about you, you shouldn't be a bad person for a living." ”

The lame man coughed when he heard Wuji, interrupting his daughter's complaint, he looked at the half-old and wide courtyard, nodded and said, "The yard is not bad, but you can't live here, come with us to Wenji Incense Shop, can you come back when your brother comes back?" ”

Wen Wuji's voice sounded very thick and sincere, and people couldn't think of refuting it.

Li Mei'er nodded approvingly: "Okay, you guys wait first, I'll go into the house and clean up." ”

Zhao Lu felt very ridiculous, leaned against the courtyard wall and said, "Still clean up, just your little tattered belongings, what do you have to clean up." ”

Li Meier didn't like Zhao Lu very much, probably because she felt that he overcharged his brother when he rented a house, so she didn't give him a good look.

"You don't have to."

She walked quickly into the east room, rolled up the quilt and sheep felt spread out on the straw mat, blocked the water jug where the brother hid the money, spread the quilt again, and hid the water jug in the middle and rolled it in.

Her method of hiding money is not ingenious, Wen Wuji and Wen Ran stood in the courtyard very cooperatively, not disturbing Li Mei'er's careful thoughts, which made her feel very comfortable.

After going out, Wen Wuji locked the courtyard door with a copper lock, Wen Ran took Li Mei'er's hand, and took her all the way to the Wen Ji incense shop in Dunyi Fang.

Wenji incense shop is located at the intersection of Yong'an Canal and Dunyifang Hengjie, there are more than a dozen arch bridges on the canal surface, and the stairs along the embankment can go down to the canal to take a boat.

The geographical location of the incense shop is not very ideal, but it is in response to that sentence, the wine fragrance is not afraid of deep alleys, not to mention that the incense shop is alone in this Dunyi Fang, and the business has always been good. There are many dignitaries and nobles who come here to buy all kinds of incense and incense.

For example, the one standing in front of Wen Wuji is the long history of the East Palace, accompanied by the concubine to seek Peixiang, the concubine forgot about him for the time being, immersed in all kinds of incense cakes, holding the tip of his nose and sniffing gently.

Wen Wuji talked with this long history without saying a word, which can be regarded as passing the boring time for guests, after all, it is a kind of torture for men to accompany women to go shopping and consume, and it has been the same throughout the ages.

"Mr. Wen, do you have any lotus flowers as the main ingredient in this incense shop?" The concubine turned around and asked.

"Yes, this piece in your hand is."

"Fan Changshi, have you had any good news recently, I see that you look good, and you have more and more leisure time."

Changshi curled his little beard and smiled: "I can have any good news, but the master is happy, and our people are having a better life." ”

The concubine turned her head and interjected while selecting the sachet: "Recently, a huge lotus flower bloomed in the lotus pond of the East Palace, and it is said that the fragrance is overflowing and wafting for ten miles, and the people in the prince's mansion think it is a miracle, and even the saint has personally gone to see the lotus." ”

Wen Wuji had more eyes and kept this sentence in his heart.

"What kind of miracle is this, don't talk nonsense, at most it's just a little peculiar." Fan Changshi seems to be very taboo about insiders spreading around.

The concubine's thinking diverged but did not stop, and she said in reverie: "Can you secretly pick a petal of the lotus flower and come back, the concubine asked Mr. Wen to make a sachet of incense, it must be the most fragrant sachet in the world." ”

Changshi was finally annoyed: "What sachet do you want?" So many sachets aren't enough for you to spoil it! I also remembered that the lotus flower in the East Palace came, it was auspicious! ”

The concubine looked aggrieved and muttered in a low voice: "I said it was special just now, but now it has become auspicious again, and people are just talking." ”

Wen Wuji carefully looked at the faces of the two, took the pei incense in the concubine's hand and looked at it, and asked in a low voice, "Does Madam want these kinds of fragrant cakes?" ”

"Don't want any of these! Wrap it up for me! The concubine sprinkled all the anger she had just received on her husband on Wen Wuji.

Fan Changshi came over and paid the money, and the husband and concubine went out of the Wenji incense shop before and after. Sitting on the ground in the back porch, the incense smeller looked at his father's indifferent face, and then glanced at the back of the Changshi couple, as if her angry gaze could kill.

Li Mei'er squatted in front of Sister Wenran boredly, staring at her work without blinking.

Wen Wuji rolled up his sleeves and walked out of the counter, turned around and instructed his daughter, "I'll go out, you look at the shop." ”

"Well, Grandpa is going slower on the road."
