"Come in."

She put down the teapot in her hand, turned her head and saw the door being pushed open, and Yu Qiao, dressed in festive red, came in from outside.

I don't know if it's because the cold wind outside is too cold, Yu Qiao's face was a little pale when she came in, which looked a little out of place with the red clothes on her body.

"Shopkeeper Su."

Seeing her, Yu Qiao first saluted, put the gift in his hand on the table, and said respectfully, "This is a gift that the county lord specially asked me to send you, please accept it with a smile." ”

The gift box placed on the table is very exquisite, and the big red satin wraps the palm-sized brocade box. I don't know what it contains, but it's certainly not ordinary.

Su Liuye was surprised for a while, but she didn't expect that she could still receive gifts from the host's family when she came to attend the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet held by the county lord of Anyang.

The smile on her face remained unchanged, but when she looked at Yu Qiao, there was a deeper meaning in her eyes, "I wonder if the county lord wants to tell me something?" ”

Seeing that Su Liuye opened the topic so easily, Yu Qiao's expression was a little flustered. But she is also the eldest girl beside the county lord, so she quickly stabilized her expression, saluted Su Liuye Shiran, and said, "That's the case, our county lord has something he wants to tell Shopkeeper Su, I don't know if Shopkeeper Su can move?" ”

"Tell me?"

Su Liuye looked at Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu nodded slightly at her. This is the Anyang County Lord's Mansion, and they don't have to worry about meeting any secret guards in the mansion.

Su Liuye thought that it was the same thing, but she didn't know if the county lord of Anyang had something to look for her, and the unhappy parting last time had already made their relationship a little stiff.

She came back this time, but she didn't want to make the relationship between the two worse. After all, the county lord of Anyang took the initiative to send the post, which was nothing more than to say that she had taken the initiative to give the next step, and if Su Liuye was interested, she should go up the steps, instead of continuing to make the relationship more stiff.

In fact, on the way over, she more or less guessed that the county lord of Anyang had something to look for her, otherwise why would he take the initiative to send the post to her? This behavior is undoubtedly equivalent to the county lord of Anyang taking the initiative to apologize to her.

The only thing she didn't expect was that the county lord of Anyang was so anxious to find her, it seemed that things were not simple.

Su Liuye sighed, the last time the county lord of Anyang talked to her like that, she shouldn't have had any personal relations with her anymore, just live on face. But now looking at Yu Qiao's restrained look, Su Liuye was a little helpless, thinking that it should be the county lord of Anyang who had to let Yu Qiao come over.

Thinking of this, she had no choice but to agree, "You can take me over to see it now, while the banquet hasn't started yet." ”

"Shopkeeper Su, please come here!"

Yu Qiao's eyes immediately lit up and he quickly led her way.

Coming out of the room, a biting cold wind blew in, cutting at his cheeks like a sharp blade, blowing his cheeks painfully.

Su Liuye straightened the robe on her body, followed Yu Qiao to speed up her pace, and walked all the way through the corridor full of festive red lanterns to the courtyard where the county lord of Anyang lived.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Liuye was frightened by the emptiness in the courtyard.

I saw a large earth pit dug out of the corner of the yard, as if something had been dug out of it. If she remembered correctly, the last time she came here, she could see a tree planted in the corner, but it was still winter, and the branches were bare, and she couldn't tell what it was.

Unexpectedly, this time, the tree was gone.

Seeing her gaze, Yu Qiao stopped her steps, looked towards the door of the house again, and saw that the county lord of Anyang was not there, she suppressed her voice and said quickly, "Shopkeeper Su, there was originally a plum blossom tree planted here, which was dug up from the Merlin when the county lord and the horse first met. I've been raising it for several years, but this year it's already producing flower bones, and I want it to bloom in the middle of winter...... But the county lord dug it up again. ”

"Miss Yuqiao, just tell me directly, what is the matter with the county lord of Anyang looking for me? Does it have anything to do with the colt? Su Liuye said.

"This ......"

Yu Qiao hesitated again, but thinking that they had already invited Su Liuye over, it would be a bit hypocritical to hesitate at this time. She sighed, "Some time ago, the county lord had a big quarrel with the concubine, when the county lord asked me to go out to buy some dates, I only know that when I came back, the county lord asked people to dig up the plum trees in the yard and hide in the room for a long time. ”

"When the county lord comes out, let me go and hand over the post to Shopkeeper Su. When I passed, Uncle Zhou in the house told me that Shopkeeper Su was not there, so I asked Lord Xiao Yun to help me send the post over. Let Shopkeeper Su come over this time, I guess it's because ......" Yu Qiao looked over to the other side of the room, and said with some confidence, "It should be because the county lord wants Shopkeeper Su to find a way to help deal with Li Wanwan's matter." ”

"Is Li Wanwan still in the County Lord's Mansion?"

Su Liuye was a little surprised, and at the same time a little dissatisfied, "If the county lord of Anyang wants to reconcile with the horse, why do you want to come to me?" ”

Yu Qiao's cheeks were hot when she was asked, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look at Su Liuye, "The county lord and the donkey ......" At this point, she was embarrassed to say more.

Although the county lord of Anyang quarreled with the concubine, he still couldn't say "harmony", so he could only ask Su Liuye to come over and say.

Realizing that he was specially invited to be a villain, Su Liuye's face was a little ugly.

Yu Qiao didn't dare to say anything at the moment, so she only apologized vigorously. Seeing the cold wind outside, she hurriedly invited Su Liuye into the house, where the charcoal stove was burning vigorously, and a window was open next to it to breathe.

The dressed county lord of Anyang sat at the desk, and he didn't put down his pen for a long time on the rice paper in front of him.

Hearing the movement outside the room, she hurriedly raised her eyes and saw Yu Qiao coming in with Su Liuye, and her face suddenly showed surprise. After realizing that his expression was too obvious, the county lord of Anyang hurriedly retracted and sat there with a pair of county lords' shelves.

Yu Qiao took Su Liuye to the desk, and when she saw the appearance of the county lord, Yu Qiao sweated in her heart, but she didn't say much, and saluted, "County lord, Su is here." ”

"Hmm." The county lord of Anyang put on a gesture of joy and anger, and said indifferently, "You go and prepare some hot tea and pastries." ”

“…… Okay, Lord Shire. ”

Yu Qiao hesitated for a moment before going out.

The county lord of Anyang was about to talk to Su Liuye, but he saw a handsome but expressionless woman standing next to her, the woman's eyes were sharp, even if she stood in front of her, the county lord, she was not afraid at all.

The county lord of Anyang frowned, it was the first time that anyone dared to do this in front of her.

She wanted to scold, but thinking that she still had something to ask Su Liuye to help today, she swallowed her words back.
