Chu Zhilan stopped talking, just stared at me with a dark face, I saw him look really funny. Actually, I just remembered that the storyteller said miserably, and I wanted to adjust the atmosphere. He sighed and said nothing, as if he didn't want to dwell on this issue with me any longer.

But I still care a lot about the stories I hear from storytellers.

"What I heard in the teahouse is that He Zhiqing's family has been killed," I raised my hand and touched his neck, with a serious face: "I said that the child named Bao'er was cut off by a knife." ”

"What teahouse? The secrets of the Wang family dare to be discussed, do you believe it if it is so fake? He took my hand away and sat up straighter with me in his arms, "I didn't behead in public at all, He Zhiqing was brought into the palace for examination and didn't come back, the guards directly broke into the house and killed it, I was just lucky." ”

I was surprised, "Why do you speak in a relaxed tone as if you're talking about someone else's business?" ”

"I don't remember much about anything other than the day the guards broke in."

"Yes."

Chu Zhilan's eyes were as calm as water, as if he was really as he said, and he didn't remember.

I hugged him a little tighter, "And what do you remember?" Can you tell me about it? "Seriously, at this moment, I suddenly don't want him to end up like this, I want to know everything about him. He seems to be hesitating, but it doesn't matter, what a woman wants, she can have everything if she is coquettish in front of the person she likes!

I was thinking about how to behave so that the man in front of me could tell me those stories, and Chu Zhilan spoke: "Qingyi, let me tell you, can you not be coquettish?" This embarrassed me, and he continued, "I can't stand being coquettish." ”

I thought back to the last time I couldn't bear to look at him with a dumb voice, and I was glad he had just stopped me. But ...... "Others?" I sensitively grasped this point, "Has anyone else been spoiled to you?" ”

Chu Zhilan: "You still can't listen......

The children who had been in the stove for a long time still did not dare to go out, the burnt firewood was in front of them, and on the ground outside the stove, the cook lay quietly, and the ground was a pool of dried blood.

The terrible screams, cries, and fighting outside had stopped, and now it was so quiet that not even a trace of the wind could be heard. In the whole mansion, only one child was still breathing. His feet were numb, and he did not dare to move in order to keep the same quiet as the house. His lips were covered in chapped dead skin, and even when his thirst for water reached its limit, he resisted the urge to go out and find water to drink.

Suddenly there was footsteps outside, and his whole body tensed.

"Don't make a sound, and don't go out! Otherwise, Bao'er will be like Cui'er. He looked horrified at the handmaid who was struggling in a pool of blood not far away, let go of the hand holding the cook's sleeve, nodded, and went into the stove.

Now, there is a hand, picking up the cold wood in the stove. The child was pulled out of the stove like this, and he looked at the fierce-looking man in front of him, waiting for Cui'er's fate to befall him.

"You're Zhiqing's child?"

The boy was bewildered by the man's question, and before he could answer it, the man said to himself, "You are, these eyes are like your father, and this nose and mouth are like your mother." As he spoke, he scraped the boy's nose with his hand.

"Son, your father and mother are dead and gone. You are a boy, and when a boy grows up, he wants to be a man, and to be a man, you have to learn to be strong, you have to be a strong person. You follow me, worship me as a teacher, and I will teach you how to be a strong person, how about it? ”

The child looked up at the face of the man in front of him, and for some reason, he always felt that the man in front of him who was as old as his father was a little silly. Although it is not good to judge elders in this way. He took a few steps and looked out of the kitchen, where Cui'er was still there, but no longer moving.

"Son, do you want to see your mother?"

He shook his head without thinking about it, "If my mother is the same as Cui'er, then I won't look at it." ”

The man touched his head, "It's okay if you don't look at it, Master, I'll take you back to see Shiniang, Shiniang is also good-looking." ”

The boy reached out and grabbed the man who had begun to call himself Master before he could agree, he knelt down and kowtowed, "Master is above, be worshiped by the apprentice." ”

Although the man claimed to be the master, he didn't expect this child to kneel so obediently, and he was frightened. On the way back, I felt very happy when I thought about it, and I thought that it would be better to discuss with my wife to accept him as my son. The daughter is still young, and she has an older brother who is not easy to be bullied.

He Bao'er definitely didn't expect that on the way home with the master she had just recognized, she would have been promoted from an apprentice to a son of an adult family.

It's so miserable! As miserable as me, is this life possible? I lay on Chu Zhilan's stomach with teary eyes, and I kept snorting.

"It's okay, I know, I don't have a father." I didn't find anything suitable to wipe my tears for a while, so I rubbed it directly on Chu Zhilan's clothes, "You are worse than me, my father is gone, my adoptive father is gone, you are so strong!" ”

“…… Don't cry. Chu Zhilan gently pushed me away.

I didn't let go, insisted on holding him and said, "You don't have to comfort me, I'm really uncomfortable." ”

"No, Qingyi, you've been pressing me for too long, and my chest hurts a little......" As he spoke, he coughed twice, a little blood came out of the corner of his mouth, and I hurriedly got up.

"In other words, you are proficient in medical science because your father is a doctor?" After all, from the moment I met him, I knew he was a good doctor.

"When I was in the He family, I was still young, and I learned medicine later. Master said that since I was a healer, I should learn my family studies well, so I found a teacher who was not very serious to teach me. ”

"Isn't it serious?"

"Nest Kill is my teacher."

I pondered for a moment, "I haven't heard of it. ”

He smiled weakly, "Even if you haven't heard of it, it's not an important thing." ”

"I still have one more question," I said, "I heard that the storyteller said that He Zhiqing killed Concubine Liang because of Gu, isn't that the mother concubine of Bai Tingyu and Bai Tingfeng?" ”

Chu Zhilan's eyes sank and said: "He Zhiqing didn't harm anyone, Concubine Liang is not a Gu, there is no Gu in this world." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I also understood, "Wu Mingzhi, is it?" ”

Chu Zhilan did not answer.

"Use the poison in his mother's death to harm me, and he really looks up to me." I said: "You know that He Zhiqing was wronged, but you never thought of overturning the case or taking revenge for him, the reason is the same as not wanting Chu Yun to help Bai Tingyu." ”

"That's Chu Heshan's biological daughter." He replied earnestly and preciously.

Originally, I felt that there was nothing, as he said, it was the child of the person who saved his life and raised him, and the younger sister who grew up with him, and he should be responsible. But I have to admit that now, I am a little jealous.

I turned my head a little and wanted to make a fuss, "Yes, she is your master's biological daughter, but not your own sister~"

"Qingyi, don't be jealous." He just broke my head back, and he had a lot of strength, and I didn't dare to struggle, for fear that I would really break my head.

He held my face with both hands like kneading dough, and I was intoxicated by the gentle watery eyes, unable to extricate myself.

"I protect her because I can't be there for her forever. But I want to be with you all the time. ”

I was embarrassed by this sudden love words, but seriously, I am also an experienced person, and I should not be confused by such simple love words, but as Qi Yun said: "A woman in love is a fool." ”

There was a knock on the door, and there was a tentative voice from Curator Yu: "I have decocted some medicine, Chu Qing, you can help you get it." "I was going to open the door, but Chu Zhilan didn't let go of my hand.

"Ahem, Yu Lao, the door is not closed, you can come in directly."

I glared at Chu Zhilan, his eyes were full of cunning after success.

The door was pushed open, and when I saw us hugging each other, Director Yu was frightened, standing at the door trembling and not knowing whether to enter, and his eyes were also in a trance and didn't know where to look.

I was held and couldn't move, so I only heard Chu Zhilan say: "It's troublesome to the old man, it's just that my husband and wife haven't seen each other for a long time, and I want to say a few thoughtful words......"

I didn't listen to him, I threw my head up and smashed it with a hammer. I endured the pain and got up from Chu Zhilan, covered my head, and brought the medicine jar in the curator's hand.

"Master, thank you for helping us decoct the medicine, don't do these things next time, we juniors can just do it ourselves." I pulled up Chu Zhilan, who had just been hit by me, "Curator, you are my master, and he is my father-in-law, so you are also his master." I slapped Chu Zhilan on the back, "Call Master!" ”

Curator Yu stared at me with a trembling beard, and then looked at Chu Zhilan who didn't react on the side, and I slapped it again, "Call Master!" ”

He seemed to be forced by me to be helpless, sighed slightly, turned to the curator and said, "Master." ”

Curator Yu showed a crying and laughing expression when he heard this, "Your father is my apprentice, and now you also call me Master, what kind of generation is this!" I still have something to do, Chu Qing, you will take a day off today, and talk to yourself about yourself. After speaking, the curator glanced at Chu Zhilan meaningfully and left.

"Qingyi ......"

I stared down at Chu Zhilan and interrupted him solemnly, "Be polite to your elders, and besides, who wants to talk to you considerately?" ”

Chu Zhilan touched her forehead and grinned, "Qingyi...... It's funny when you're shy. ”

I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense! ==

That night, I stood beside Li Yang with my eyebrows lowered and my eyes pleasing to my eyes, waiting for the little servant in the Minwang Mansion to open the door. The side door of the palace opened, and out of it came a young man, who respectfully bowed to Li Yang and invited him in, and I followed him closely with my head down, unexpectedly smoothly.

After entering the front hall and backyard, and walking into the garden water pavilion, I noticed that something was wrong, and whispered to Li Yang: "Senior brother, aren't you cheating on me?" But he didn't care, "If you believe me, follow me, if you don't believe me, you will turn back, just go back by yourself, who cares about you." ”

After a while, several gracefully dressed maids came over and laid out the tea cups and snacks one by one, and Li Yang sat down with ease. Where is this to come to the palace to treat people, this is simply to listen to music! After a while, a dancing girl in red sheer yarn really came over, and saluted charmingly, and her eyes were full of autumn waves, and I could see goosebumps scattered all over the ground.

Between the pavilions of the Water Pavilion, an ethereal and low sound of flute suddenly sounded out of nowhere. In the cool night water, this solemn music made me chill. Looking around, I found that there was still an empty main seat on the right side of Li Yang, and there were all incense burners and tea cups on the countertop, and green smoke wafted from the intricately carved copper incense burner.

At this time, I already have a bottom in my heart, and I know that it is a trap, and I am willing to enter.

I also stopped holding it and sat next to Li Yang. After all, the tea in the palace is very fragrant, and the dim sum is also exquisite. The red-clothed dancer was still secretly sending autumn waves to us, and Li Yang didn't seem to be able to stand it anymore, and shouted for me to share half of his snacks. I already knew that he was very picky, and when he went to those wine alleys and teahouses, he only listened to the plays of famous actors, and he couldn't look down on these "vulgar fans".

Li Yang, who snatched half of my snacks, suddenly got up and said very enthusiastically: "You're here!" ”

Oh, sure enough, it's Bai Tingyu's doglegs, and he is really respectful to his master. I ignored them, eating osmanthus-flavored steamed rice cakes and chewing on the sugar in my mouth.

"Qingyi, this is really not delicious."

A grain of hard sugar hurt my teeth. I looked up, and Chu Zhilan, who was pale, frowned and stared at the steamed rice cake I had bitten in my hand.

What's going on? What about Bai Tingyu?

I asked, "Aren't you waiting outside the house?" "Actually, it's not outside the palace, Chu Zhilan did it lightly and went directly to the beam.

Chu Zhilan still frowned, "They invited me in." ”

I was shocked and thought to myself, isn't this just being discovered! So he asked him with concern: "Are you hurt?" ”

"No, I didn't." He crouched down on his own, still staring at me with a wry eye. I'm really puzzled, just because I like to eat snacks that he doesn't like, as for looking at me like a monster like this?

"Here you go." I handed him the half-bitten rice cake. That's right, I did it on purpose, I just wanted to see Chu Zhilan listen to me and eat what she didn't like to eat.

Hearing the sound of sugar crunching in his mouth made me feel satisfied. Let me tell you that my favorite steamed rice cake is not delicious!

"Why are you two so disgusting! Small children? Eat what's left of the brothers? Li Yang on the side looked at us with disgust, and I don't want to hide this fool anymore.

"Oh, we're not brothers, we're husband and wife." As I spoke, I reached out and pulled Chu Zhilan's face and kissed him, deliberately kissing him very loudly. In an instant, the ethereal sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the charming dancer fell to the ground, while Li Yang's face was whiter than Chu Zhilan, who had lost blood.

Suddenly, he showed an expression of understanding, "It turns out that you are ...... That kind of relationship. ”

No, I think you're probably mistaken, we're not.

In a fit of anger, I loosened the scarf on my head, poured down my long hair, and pleaded, "Senior brother, look at me again." ”

Li Yang shook his head, "I really didn't see it. ”

yes, even though I have a talent for men's clothing, it's because you're too slow.

"I really didn't see that you have such a preference, junior brother."
