Zilan thought she would never see this man again.

The first time I saw him, it was on the roof of the Golden Mansion compound. He is dressed in black, walks against the wind, is as agile as a cunning rabbit, and mighty as a hero of the world. She sent him into the study with him, tiptoeing, but he found her.

After several years of stealing, she was recognized for the first time.

She thought he was a companion at first, but when he was running for his life, she knew he wasn't. There is no thief in the rivers and lakes who will sacrifice his life to save someone he doesn't know, not even herself. Later, he sent her to Beijing by the way, gave her gold and mink jackets, and showed her generosity and mercy. At that time, she was dirty, miserable, and a thief who was scolded.

He didn't dislike it.

She felt that this man must be the kindest man in the world.

After half a year, the fourteenth had forgotten about Huaizhou. He looked at Zilan suspiciously, searched in his mind, but there was still no trace. The prefect paid close attention to Fourteen's expression, and after a while, he reprimanded: "Bold people, don't kneel down quickly when you see Fourteen Baylor!" ”

Zi Lan had already guessed that he was not an ordinary person, but she never thought that he was actually a relative of the emperor. She was a little panicked, a little confused, a little incredulous, and a little... Inexplicable sadness.

He is high, and he is as cheap as dirt.

Fourteen asked, "Have we met?" Zilan's heart was sour, her eyes were moist, and she knelt down and said, "It's me who recognized the wrong person." Seeing that she was short and weak, Fourteen said, "Get up and speak." Zilan didn't thank her, she stood up with a big grin, and looked at Fourteen with a big smile. The prefect was about to reprimand Zilan for being presumptuous, but he heard Fourteen ask in a deep voice: "What did you mean by just saying that "let innocent people impersonate and exile to Ningguta"? The prefect's nerves were tense, his face was wrinkled and furrowed, and he smiled vigorously: "Lord Belle Hugh listens to the nonsense of the untouchables..."

The prefect's wrinkles froze suddenly, and he rubbed his hands and didn't dare to say anything more.

Zilan said: "A few days ago, my younger brother was arrested by the government and said that he had stolen something. Regardless of whether he broke the law or not, this stealing is not murder and arson, not seeking power and usurping power, why should he be exiled to Ningguta? I have heard that it was the yamen who accepted money and goods, and used the criminals to replace the criminals and exiled them to the frontier to work as coolies. She yelled at the prefect: "Dog official, if you seek money and kill yourself, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder?" The prefect was so angry that he stepped forward a few steps, kicked Zilan on his navel, and said viciously: "Diao Min, you dare to slander your own official, drag it out, and beat it with a cane." ”

Zi Lan was kicked in the first place, her lower abdomen was dull and painful, her throat was fishy, and she couldn't get up when she fell to the ground.

Fourteen hammered it on the tea table, and said irritably: "The dignified prefect, instead of ascertaining the facts, insults the common people in public, which is really unreasonable!" After a pause, his tone became more and more cold, and he said, "You are waiting for the Criminal Department to investigate." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and said: "The thieves arrested by Fujin this time will be released after eighty years of staff, and they must not find an excuse to stay." ”

When the prefect heard that the fourteenth wanted to check himself, he was so frightened that his legs and feet trembled, and he was leaning on the stool softly, and he couldn't even say words begging for mercy, but trembled: "Weichen obeys." ”

Seeing Fourteen flicking his sleeves away, Zilan got up in pain, chased out of the door quickly, and said, "Wait." ”

Fourteen is not a good person to get along with, you tell him to wait for him? He didn't bother to pay attention to people, as if he hadn't heard, and quickly walked out of the gate of the mansion. Although Zilan was injured, she was a practitioner, and a small fight was nothing.

She chased in front of Fourteen and said straight to the point: "Fourteenth Master, will you take me in?" ”

Fourteen is a stupid idiot, like when I was dressed as a man, he didn't recognize me as a girl. After so many years, he has not grown at all, and he is also a man. He was quite impatient and said, "Little brother, why should I take you in?" Zilan stammered: "I can lead horses, sweep the floor, raise flowers, cook... I can also do kung fu, I can protect you! ”

Yes, she wanted to protect him, she could die for him.

He was the person she thought about day and night, and every look of him was deeply imprinted in her mind, and she often missed him in the middle of the night until she burst into tears. She had finally found him, and she was going to follow him no matter what.

Fourteen turned over his horse, smiled contemptuously, and mocked: "Whether it's leading horses, sweeping the floor, raising flowers, or cooking, I don't need it." Again, you protect me? Just your body? He clamped his legs hard, flung his whip hard at the horse's back, and the horse's hooves sounded, and drove through the golden and white sunlight to the end of the long street.

The more you can't get it, the more you can't forget it. Zilan stopped for a long time and was reluctant to leave.

The weather was hot and humid, and Fourteen didn't want to go anywhere, so he went back to Baylor's Mansion, asked people to deliver a message to the Punishment Department, and went straight into the backyard, thinking that he would be comfortable and let Rose serve to eat and take a nap. I sat under the window with a few girls embroidering the flowerpot shoes worn by Ah Xing, and compared and matched the same fabrics. Hearing the voice of the slave Daofu from a distance, and knowing that Fourteen was back, he hurriedly packed his things, greeted the door, and said with a smile: "Why did you come back early today?" Fourteen walked into the house in a stinking sweat, untied his jacket, threw it into my hand, and said, "It's too hot, I can't leave on the road." I instructed Minqiu, "Go and pour a bowl of icy plum juice." ”

Minqiu should go down.

He changed into a casual robe of ice silk for Fourteen, and asked the eunuch to carry two baskets of ice bricks and add them to the ice porcelain jar, and the cold mist gradually dispersed, and the room was much cooler. I took the palace fan with a sandalwood handle engraved with flowers and birds and shook it, and saw that his neck was red, and when I touched it with my hand, it was full of small pimples.

I said, "I'm covered with prickly heat, itchy or not?" ”

Fourteen: "Out of the way." He added: "The matter of the daughter-in-law of the Lin family has been done, you can rest assured." ”

I hummed sweetly and said, "It's so hot, why don't we eat cold noodles for dinner?" Fourteen: "Whatever you want." After speaking, he leaned to lie down on the kang and said, "Let me rest." Although Kangxi is not in the capital, he still gets up at three or four o'clock in the morning, and in the afternoon he must make up for sleep, and he is happy.

The old plums in the kitchen were brought out by me from my brother, and he was used to being clever, and he could basically learn what to say, and he could basically study it thoroughly. He knew that I loved bone broth, and he would make a big pot of broth with the best beef bones every day, just waiting for me to drink it at any time. I said to Minqiu, "The beef should be stewed and sliced into thin slices." Put the beef bone broth in the freezer and cool it thoroughly, scrape out a layer of butter. You can't put more chili peppers, I don't like it. Min Qiu told Lao Li Zi the original words, and Lao Li Zi repeated them word for word, thinking about the cold noodles that the master ordered.

Lao Li Zi is worthy of being a chef for many years, and he quickly had an idea.

The cold noodles are served on the table, refreshing and refreshing, there is no feeling of degreasing and water at all, and the soup is cool and does not smell fishy. The soba noodles are topped with a layer of shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots, and finally sliced beef and half a hard-boiled egg. Fourteen was drowsy, and he didn't have much appetite at first, but by the end of the meal, he even drank up the soup.

Lao Li Zi secretly asked the maid who served the meal, and said, "The master has finished eating?" ”

The girl smiled deliberately: "Master drank all the soup." When the old Li Zi heard this, he proudly touched the goatee, rolled up his sleeves again, and asked the little Li Zi to take half a pot of wine, and sat in the corridor to taste it slowly.

Fourteen had to write his homework after eating, and Kangxi came with a letter in the morning, telling him to read more books and write more, and also listed half of the articles to be memorized (very perverted). I didn't dare to disturb him, and I played silk in the inner room through the flower hall. In the afternoon, the cicadas were noisy, there was no wind, the fruit trees in the courtyard were so green, and the slaves and maids walked on the road, feeling that their feet were hot.

The curtain sounded slightly, and a girl in charge entered the room and whispered: "Master Qiqi, someone from the courtyard said that Igerge was caught in the heat, and I have to ask Doctor Bai to take a look." I didn't think about it, and said, "Go and please." He said to Minqiu again: "Let the kitchen boil a few pairs of herbal tea and send it to the little masters in the side courtyard." After a pause, he said: "I must tell Fang Fujin that herbal tea is also medicine, and Hongchun must not be allowed to eat too much." ”

When the words fell, Fourteen didn't know when he arrived in front of him, he didn't say anything, but his face was very relieved.

I continued to play the tapestry, asking him, "Done?" Fourteen: "Where can I finish writing?" There are dozens of articles left. I raised my eyebrows and smiled, "Otherwise, I'll help you write?" The corners of Fourteen's lips twitched, and he said with disdain: "You can't even write a letter, and you dare to write an article?" I said, "You look down on me?" Fourteen picked up a pile of yarn silk flowers that were about to stick to Ah Xing's shoes, and said: "It's too boring to write an article, it's enough for me to write, why make you unhappy." ”

With this answer, EQ has finally broken through the negative number, at least zero.

He said: "I'll go to the side courtyard to see Iger, and by the way, I will talk to Shu Gege about Hongchun's study." "He was afraid that I would be angry, so he lowered his head and did not dare to look at me. I have just been virtuous, so I might as well continue to maintain the illusion of virtuousness. Isn't there a joke that the woman is angry, and the chickens and dogs are jumping on her face, but in fact, the coaxing is over. And when a man is angry, it is not a big deal on his face, but he will score points in his heart, and he will accumulate two points for a quarrel, and when the time comes, he will exchange a small three for you.

I threw away the work in my hand and said with a pleasant face: "I'll go with you, and send the herbal tea by the way." But you'll have to wait a while, the herbal tea is still boiling, just wait two quarters of an hour. ”

Fourteen stared at me in disbelief, dumbfounded, with a shocked expression.

I was afraid that I would pretend to be too good, and when the time came, he would have to inch in, endlessly, so he said: "Ming'er, you let someone pick up Xiaoman to come to the house to play." "I mean, I'm so good to your little wife, you should meet one of my conditions. Fourteen changed his expression of "sure enough, there is a conspiracy", but the conditions were not excessive, and within his tolerance, he agreed.

Fu Jin and the master are going to the side courtyard, and it is tantamount to earth-shattering news in Baylor Mansion, the herbal tea has not yet been boiled, and the news has already spread to the side Fu Jin house. Igege and Wu Gege didn't dare to slack off, they were neatly dressed, braved the heat, and stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet each other.
