At the door of the small kitchen, Xu Zhizhi looked up and down at the woman in front of her.

She was not tall, but she was very strong, her cheeks were red, and her hands were full of calluses.

"What do you see? If you have something to do with me, just say it directly, don't make a fuss here. The woman said in a loud voice.

"Aunt Rong's food box last time, you gave it to her, right?"

"It's me, what's wrong?" The woman glared at Xu Zhizhi, not at all like others who attached themselves to Xu Zhizhi.

"Why did you change her to a food box with hot water?"

"She has no common sense, she doesn't even know the food box that has to use hot water when it's cold this season, I'm afraid that if something happens to her, she will be implicated in the small kitchen, and she will hold me accountable, I will naturally change it for her, what, are you here to repay the favor?"

“……”

"That's not necessary," the woman said as she walked back to her side, "Although you are a popular person around Lord Li, I have seen a lot, I don't bother you, and you don't come to stick to me, our well water will not interfere with river water." ”

After speaking, the woman left, not even giving Xu Zhizhi a chance to speak.

"Why is this man like this!" Jasmine was so angry that she crossed her hands and wanted to go up to theorize, but was stopped by Xu Zhizhi.

"Huh? Miss Zhizhi, are you here?! Primrose saw it, put down what she was doing, and walked out of the kitchen.

"Yes, it's in a hurry, and there's something going on."

"Are you looking for Mother Liu? She's not easy to mess with, she's cold to people. Primrose whispered, sniffing, "But she's like that to everyone, straight to the point." ”

"She's like this, and she's not afraid of offending people?" Xu Zhizhi was puzzled.

"She's not afraid, her cousin is Lord Li's wet nurse, she relies on this, and she is never afraid of offending people." Primrose said.

"Since you're not afraid of offending people, you shouldn't be bothering anyone...... By the way, Primrose, have you seen Wanrou a lot these days? ”

"Many, Wanrou has a good relationship with Liu's mother, and she often comes here these days."

"I see, I'll just say, how can I explain the things that I have done well have been replaced by people who are idle and have nothing to do. You ...... like this," Xu Zhizhi whispered in Primrose's ear.

"Who saw the newly bought food box?" Primrose asked when she returned to the kitchen.

"The food box is for adults, why are you asking this?" Liu's mother asked rhetorically.

"Last time, the adult said that it was not good, but Miss Zhizhi said that it was because of the hot water food box, and the adult was kind and gave Miss Zhizhi another chance, so Miss Zhizhi asked me to find a food box for her."

"In the back room, you go get it." Liu's mother assigned.

"You must not put hot water this time, last time Lord Li sent a lot of fire in private, saying that the girl made him lose face, if it is not good this time, he will really punish Miss Zhizhi."

Primrose said as she prepared cold dishes.

"Since it's something that someone has given you, it's foolproof that you can do it yourself." Liu's mother didn't touch her hands at all.

*

Xu Zhizhi walked briskly alone, and when she arrived at Li Mu's residence, she took a deep breath and walked in.

"Zhizhi? What are you doing here? What's wrong? But wronged? You can rest assured. Li Mu saw Xu Zhizhi's red eyes and asked with concern.

"Brother Rufeng......" Xu Zhizhi called his pseudonym and cried.

"This ...... Don't cry, who bullied you? You tell me, I'll give you a head. Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.

"Yes...... Be...... Can I ask you for one thing. Xu Zhizhi said while crying, her eyes secretly looked at Wanrou behind Li Mu.

Sure enough, Wanrou seemed to be cleaning, but the actual movements of her hands did not move for a long time, obviously listening with her ears pricked up.

That's easy to do.

Li Mu was anxious and asked Xu Zhizhi to say, Xu Zhizhi was not polite, and cried and said:

"It was the cold dish last time that made Master Li lose face, he taught me a hard lesson, and said that if that dish is not done well, let me stay in the small kitchen all the time, don't go anywhere else."

"This should be Li Yan's angry words, don't take it seriously." Li Mu comforted.

"I thought that I would finish the dish today and send it over, and the adults might see that the dish was delicious, and they would dissipate their anger and meet me, but ......"

As he spoke, Xu Zhizhi reached out and took two more crystal clear tears, crying so much that pear blossoms brought rain.

"You're doing a good thing, but what's it?"

"But the adults don't see me, and I can't let the guards of Qingyang Pavilion come to pick up the food, if I send it myself, it is not in accordance with the rules, and I can't send it in at all.

Adults have the best relationship with you, so I thought if you could help me on a trip......"

"Me?" Li Mu was also stunned.

"Yes," Xu Zhizhi nodded, "You are a person trusted by adults, you can send me in, and besides, this should be my only chance, if there is any errand pool, the adults will only be more angry, and it is possible to kick me out."

Therefore, I think that you are doing things safely, so I can only come to beg you. ”

Xu Zhizhi said, seeing that the person behind him who was wielding a feather duster stopped moving.

"It's a trivial matter, I'll just take a trip, I'll send it to you, don't worry, don't cry."

Li Mu said, turned back to Wanrou and said, "I'll go out, you take out the calligraphy and paintings I collected and dry them in the yard." ”

"Yes." Wanrou put down the feather duster, saluted and went to get the calligraphy and painting.

*

The primrose was ready, put it in the food box, and sent it to the designated location, waiting for the people of Qingyang Pavilion to pick it up.

"Primrose! What for?! Why don't you hurry up and start the fire?! Liu's mother shouted in a loud voice.

"Mother Liu, I'm waiting for someone from Qingyang Pavilion to pick it up, but no one has come yet."

"Wouldn't that be fine? You just want to cheat and be lazy, don't you?! Don't think I don't know your mind, go burn the fire! Liu's mother exhaled and scolded.

"But I'm ...... Hey......"

"Get on in! Can't you let me light a fire for you?! Or do you want the adults to go hungry?! Can you afford this crime?! ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Primrose looked around, put the food box in the designated place, and hurried into the yard to make a fire.

*

"Can you walk this way?" Li Mu looked at the road in front of him and asked.

"The adults are coming back soon, I'm afraid it's too late, let's take the path, and we can go directly to the small kitchen where the food box is placed." Xu Zhizhi swore by it.

After a while, the two stopped.

"Your shortcut is indeed close, but it's just ......"

Li Mu looked at the dirt slope in front of him and said.

Xu Zhizhi pointed to the side very confidently, "Look, there is a crooked neck tree there, and from the crooked neck tree, you will arrive." ”

This is the tree where the food box was placed, and under the tree is the location where the guards sent by the Qingyang Pavilion to wait.

"Okay." Li Mu agreed without hesitation, stepped forward, and was about to go down from the tree, when he suddenly turned around and hurriedly made a silent gesture towards Xu Zhizhi.
