Chapter Twenty-Five: Sisterhood
The thieves who set fire were all caught, and Lu Wenjing appeased the shops in the old street, let them go back to sleep with confidence, and then told everyone to prepare to go home.
Liu Si pointed to several "water bag" shaped oil spray cans and said:
"It's all physical evidence, don't lose it."
"Understood, Steward Liu."
Lu Wenjing was curious, borrowed one and held it in his hand, squeezed it a little harder, and some black and gray liquid was sprayed out at the nozzle, and the taste was very strong.
"What is this?"
"It's stone paint, also known as oil, it's easy to ignite, if you pour water on it, the fire will get stronger and stronger, these grandsons are really not a good thing!"
Liu Si scolded, kicked Ma San's ass with a big kick, and almost kicked him into a dog and gnawed mud.
"Oil? Feelings existed in the Ming Dynasty? Lu Wenjing was a little surprised.
"The young master is dedicated to reading the books of sages, how have you ever touched this thing?" Liu Si said with a smile, "In the early years, the old slave saw a kind of firearm in the barracks, called the mighty Dragon King, and the fierce fire oil used was extracted from this oil, which can be used to attack the city, but it is easy to injure his own people by mistake, so it is rare now." ”
"Uncle Liu is really well-informed."
"Where, where..."
Lu Wenjing was quite emotional, who would have thought that five hundred years later, the value of this black guy would rise wildly, and some despicable countries that were reckless and militant would even not hesitate to launch one war after another for it?
For now, at least, oil is just a fuel for arson, if it can be put to good use...
"Young master, when you return home, it's best to report to the master." Liu Si reminded.
Lu Wenjing eased up, "Well, take care of these thieves first, and I'll go to my father to discuss countermeasures." ”
"Yes, young master..."
Liu Si replied and followed closely behind the young master.
......
Lu Mansion, East Courtyard, the candle flame is not extinguished.
Lan Ying paced back and forth in front of the door, her face sad, and she was talking to herself.
"Miss, I'll tell you an unfortunate news, young master, he... He and that... Phew, no, no, Miss can't stand it..."
"That young lady, you don't need to worry, in fact, young master... Young master, that's just a little fetish, harmless... Alas, without hurting a ball, he's a beast! ”
"What to do, what to do, how should I tell Miss about this!"
Just when Lan Ying was like an ant on a hot pot, she was in a hurry, and the door creaked and was pushed open a gap, which startled her.
When Zhao Qianrou saw her through the crack in the door, she also gently stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief:
"I have a thief at home, it turns out that Ying'er is back, why don't you go into the house, isn't it cold outside?"
"Miss?" Lan Ying forcibly changed her smile, "I... Am I not afraid to disturb Miss? ”
Zhao Qianrou pulled Lan Ying into the outer hall, "I haven't slept all this time, I'm worried about the young master, how is it, have you found him?" ”
Lan Ying looked at the young grandmother's faintly worried face, and her heart was even weaker, and she couldn't help but stammer:
"Find... Found it, the young master is in Mingchun Building... Drink and drink tea! ”
"Tea? It's so late, Mingchun Building should have closed a long time ago. Zhao Qianrou looked suspicious.
"Probably... Make an appointment with the shopkeeper, after all, the Lu family is the owner of the old street, and the young master's face must be given. ”
Zhao Qianrou's eyes suddenly became a little sharp:
"That's... Ying'er, tell me, who is drinking tea with the young master? ”
Lan Ying's back was covered with a little cold sweat:
"It's too dark... I didn't see it clearly. ”
"Oh? Is he a man, or is he a woman? Zhao Qianrou stared at her and said.
"Male, definitely male, I'm not going to lie..."
Just when Lan Ying felt that she had reached her limit, Zhao Qianrou suddenly smiled softly:
"I'll just say, it's absolutely impossible for the prince to go out to have fun, it's you who spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."
"Huh?" Lan Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little unconvinced, "I'm not a villain, and the young master is not a gentleman. ”
Zhao Qianroule said:
"You girl, you don't speak in a measured way, and you are a little bolder, that is, the young master can tolerate you, and if you change someone else, I'm afraid you will be punished a long time ago."
"Hmph, I'm just looking for the sake of Miss's face, otherwise, I..."
Lan Ying raised her fists and secretly said that you, the son of Longyang, deceived Miss so hard, for the sake of Miss, this girl will endure this breath for the time being, and sooner or later she will beat you back to your original form...
"Yawn~"
Zhao Qianrou covered her mouth and yawned, her eyes finally had a sleepy color, and she said with a smile:
"It seems that the young master can't come back tonight, why don't we sleep together?"
"Sleeping together? It's not good, this is the residence of the young master and the young lady. Lan Ying was shocked.
"What's that? Before marrying into the Lu family, didn't our sisters often sleep together? ”
"But... But that's not the same thing..."
Zhao Qianrou didn't wait for her to agree, she took the other party's hand into the inner hall and paced into the back room.
Lan Ying broke free of Miss's hand, feeling uncomfortable:
"Miss, I'd better go back, how can I say that I'm also a subordinate..."
"Your subordinates, since you married to the Lu Mansion, you have been a little estranged from me, have you forgotten the oath we made?"
Lan Ying was stunned and said silently:
"Miss and I will always be sisters, together for the rest of our lives, life and death..."
"As you remember, prove that our oath counts."
Zhao Qianrou took Lan Ying's hand again, and her face flushed:
"There's no husband with me at this time, it's a big room, and I'm a little scared by myself, so..."
Lan Ying thought about it and nodded solemnly:
"Okay, I'll stay with Miss, but when you're asleep, I'll have to go?"
Zhao Qianrou said happily:
"No problem, no problem..."
Now that they had reached an agreement on the issue of sleeping, the two of them cleaned up the bed, changed into pajamas, turned off the lights, and lay down under the covers.
Lan Ying let Zhao Qianrou sleep inside, so that when she fell asleep, it was convenient for her to leave.
Zhao Qianrou clenched Lan Ying's hand, her heart was warm, she no longer had the mind to be afraid, as if she had returned to the Zhao Mansion and returned to the past.
"Ying'er, do you remember when you first entered the mansion, I still laughed at you for wearing tattered clothes, being a little beggar?"
"Of course I remember, Miss said that I don't know how to use chopsticks, and I speak rudely, and..."
Lan Ying was about to speak, but found that her lips were pressed by the young lady's fingers.
"It seems that you still hold a grudge, and you refuse to forgive me for the hurtful words I said?"
"Ying'er doesn't dare to hold a grudge against Miss, I... I was..."
Poof...
Zhao Qianrou suddenly smiled, "What about teasing you, Ying'er is still the same, and no one can beat her when she gets serious." ”
"Miss makes fun of me."
The two laughed for a while, and Zhao Qian said softly:
"I still remember when I was a child, I was bullied by the children in the street, pointing my nose and scolding me for not having a mother, a little wild seed raised by a eunuch, and you rushed out to block me behind me, and fought for me... From that moment on, I vowed to be a sister to you for the rest of my life. ”
Lan Ying was a little touched in her heart, but in order to cover it up, she said:
"Those stinky boys, I beat them all so that my parents don't know each other, who dares to be presumptuous?"
"Ying'er, you're so nice." Zhao Qianrou said softly, "Now that I am married and have a father-in-law, I didn't expect you to be able to stay with me." ”
"I'm Miss's maid, and I'm everywhere I go, how can I leave Miss alone?"
Zhao Qianrou persuaded:
"You have to marry someone sooner or later, just like me, if you can find a good person like the young master, you can get married."
"Well... Good? Lan Ying suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, that beast can also be regarded as a good person?
"Although I haven't known my husband for long, I can feel that he is the one who can entrust everything, and being able to marry him is a blessing that I have cultivated in my life."
"Miss..."
Lan Ying knew that her young lady was already deeply rooted, so she couldn't forgive the shameless Lu family.
However, in order not to make the young lady sad and do something irreparable, she decided to keep that incident in her heart.
It was late at night, Zhao Qianrou couldn't resist the sleepiness, took Lan Ying's hand, and gradually fell asleep, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth.
Lan Ying was afraid of waking up the young lady, so she could only cheer up and wait for her to fall asleep before getting up.
"Can't sleep, I... I can't sleep in the lady's room, Lan Ying, hurry up and cheer up... Can't sleep, no... No.... Sleep... Whew..."
Unexpectedly, after tossing all night, Lan Ying was still defeated by the Sandman and closed her eyelids...
