Liu Ya dreamed that Yuwen Qiuye kissed herself, kicked it hard, and woke up.

The sun shines past the window lattice and climbs in to paint the mottled paintings.

Liu Ya called fennel to serve the medicinal bath, but he didn't expect that just after soaking and getting dressed, Kang Zaizhi came, and with him, there were a bunch of scrolls that were as high as a mountain, he said:

"The main body of the door forgives Liu to check that the injury is not light, and you don't need to run around for the time being, just tell you to recuperate (office) at home. ”

Liu Ya was speechless and rolled her eyes at Yuwen Qiupage, who was not here, and squinted at Kang Ya Zhi, who sat down to pour water and drink, "My injuries were caused by those killers, you don't need to blame yourself, you deliberately ran this trip." ”

At that time, it was raining rain, more than 30 killers were besieged, and the poisonous arrows were coming madly, Yuwen Qiuye and Kang Yazhi protected her and dodged with difficulty, but the bean-sized beads smashed so that people's eyes couldn't open, and in the chaos, she was still hit by the arrow, although she had dodged the key point in time, but Kang Yazhi still felt that she was not well guarded.

"I've been working outside on a business before, and I've accumulated a lot of vacations, and I just happened to be free in the door, so I just wanted to come to Liu Inspection to have a look. Kang Yazhi smiled, "Or is it that Liu Jian doesn't welcome me?"

"You come to cook, of course I welcome it. ”

Kang Yazhi choked with a smile, "Do you count the wages?"

"Count. "Liu Ya is very generous.

It's just that I never expected that Kang Yazhi took it seriously, and went to her kitchen to work and make a sumptuous lunch.

There are seasonal fresh and tender wild mushroom chicken, plum sliced fish, mint eggplant beans, braised pork ribs, and nourishing medicinal soup.

Every dish is full of flavor and flavor, and she has taken her injured body into consideration and spicy, Liu Ya sighed, "Kang Zhukuai, have you considered changing careers?"

"Nope. Yasuya smiled unthinkingly.

Liu Ya took the dishes and chopsticks he handed over, and asked casually while eating, "Then why do you want to be a fast catcher, running around." ”

"Compared with ordinary yamen and other errands, the benefits of catching fast in the six doors are better, men don't take advantage of their youth to make money, is it difficult to wait for the back and leg pain when they are old to work hard, at that time, the daughter-in-law will run away with her son." ”

Liu Ya was amused by his frowning and tearing his high and crooked tone.

**

After the meal, Liu Ya continued to read the scroll, and when she was in a trance, Yuzhu came to say, "Miss, Du Shizi has resigned from the post of Langzhong in the Criminal Department." ”

Liu Ya was stunned, but he was not surprised and said, "Got it." She expected him to resign, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

After Yuzhu left, Kang Yazhiyue, who was standing by the windowsill outside the corridor, said with a smile, "Where did Liu Jian find such a beautiful maid?"

Liu Ya put aside the unfinished scroll and looked at him, "My maid is different from ordinary maids and does not accept any flirtation. She got up and said, "Let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Anyway, wherever I go, you'll find a reason to follow, and ask what you're doing?"

Kang Yazhi was embarrassed, "You know?"

"I didn't think too much about it at first, but before you left after eating, I guessed that Yuwen Qiuye sent you to protect me. ”

"Maybe it's because you haven't paid me to cook. Yasuyuki tried to struggle.

Liu Ya, who stepped out of the study, smiled and said, "It turns out that Kang Zhuhai can be sent away with a copper plate, I said it earlier, I was still thinking, with your identity, I came to cook a meal for me in person, how much salary to give is not rude." ”

"...... "How can there be such a cheap top laborer in the world, if it spreads, where will his face go, he is worthy of being a merchant, articulate and calculating is too terrible, Kang Yazhi almost shed bitter tears, forced a smile and said, "Don't joke about Liu Xian, our friendship hurts a lot of money, just because my hands are itchy and I want to cook, you must not be polite!"

"You said it yourself, but don't be accused of being mean. ”

"No, no, if anyone dares to accuse you of being mean, I will cut him!"

Liu Ya was satisfied, "Then let's go." ”

The carriage drove out of the city at a rapid pace until it reached the West End Cemetery, where the noble family was housed.

The green bamboo and the tomb were intertwined layer upon layer, and Liu Ya saw King Qing stabbing Du Xinchen with a sword from a distance.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Liu Ya, who didn't have time to think about it, jumped off the ground and rushed over, blocking in front of Du Xinchen.

But the sword light was fierce, and it couldn't stop because of her sudden appearance, Du Xinchen pulled her away, and the sharp edge penetrated through the clothing into his chest, and Liu Ya pushed King Qing, who seemed to be unexpected, and sprinkled Du Xinchen's wound with brownish-gray powder, and looked up and glared at King Qing with an expressionless face:

"What's the matter? King Qing felt that it was not enough to step on the corpse of his second brother with one foot, and he wanted to kill the brother of the prince to make a pair of clogs, and then walk in Shangjing with great martial arts, telling everyone that if you want to escape from the control of your King Qing, is there only such an end?!"

"This king didn't expect that Ah Chen would not dodge. King Qing's jaw moved coldly, and as soon as his hand loosened, the blood-stained sword fell to the ground.

Liu Ya was still about to speak, but Du Xinchen grabbed her hand tightly and said, "This is what I once owed King Qing, and now I just pay it back to him." He looked at the sword on the ground and slowly moved to the brand-new marble tombstone, "Next, I'm going to owe it back to Hoshihara." ”

"If the prince still thinks of the old feelings in his heart, please persuade my father not to do anything to Xiao Ya'er again. ”

"From now on, she is here, I am here, and I will not survive if she dies. ”

The voice of the oath fell in a deep voice in the sudden wind, and Du Xinchen took the willow buds and left.

**

A small pavilion on the hill behind the cemetery.

Liu Ya carefully bandaged Du Xinchen, and choked up and said strangely, "If the wound is deeper-"

"I'm a martial arts practitioner, and I can survive no matter how deep the wound is, don't worry. ”

She knotted the bandage, her eyes reddened, and said, "Brother Shizi doesn't need to do this for me. ”

Du Xinchen looked at her at some point, but she had grown a lot of calloused hands, and then looked at her and seemed to be a little worse, "You have no second brother, if I don't treat you better, in my dreams at night, he can't spare me." ”

Then, they returned to Du Xingyuan's tomb.

King Qing is gone, and the sword that fell on the ground is now inserted next to the new tomb, and the light cyan sword spike with topaz fluttering in the wind.

Liu Ya took out three sticks of incense from the box under the stele and lit them and inserted them into the furnace, looking at the familiar name of Du Xingyuan on the excellent marble, it was still like a dream, she touched his name, as if she had returned to her carefree childhood.

Memories seem to have no end, but they must eventually come out and face reality.

"Second brother, Xiao Ya'er will come to see you another day. ”

**

On the way back to the city, Liu Ya called for the carriage to stop and handed a stack of rice paper with a picture to Kang Zaizhi, who looked confused.

She said with a smile, "I wanted to ask Brother Shizi, but Brother Shizi was injured, so I can only trouble Kang Yu to go quickly, these herbs grow on the cliffs, if you can find them, your salary for cooking at my house will rise gradually, but be careful, don't lose your life, you really can't give up." ”

"......" Yasuyuki suddenly understood why she was so 'willing' to take him with her before going out, and flew away resignedly.

Liu Ya returned home, and wanted to continue reading the scrolls, but when she went to the study, she saw Yuwen Qiupage sitting in it with a big grin, flipping through the books and paintings, and the steps she wanted to go in subconsciously turned for some reason, but she heard him smile and say, "Come back." ”

She pretended not to hear, and was about to get into the corner in the blink of an eye, so he had to say helplessly, "There is a case." ”

"The six doors can be carried out quickly, and several of them have come back, if there is a case, you can find them, I am seriously injured!"

"What seriously injured person would run around inside and outside the city, even blocking swords for others?"

"It's just that I ran around and blocked the sword, so I didn't have the extra energy to participate in the inspection of new cases!"

Yuwen Qiuye turned over lightly, sticking his head out from the windowsill and staring at her, "Ya'er, as a test, you can't pick and choose work." ”

"Did you find it, the meat that I finally gained weight seems to have lost a few pounds. Liu Ya held her face and said mournfully.

Yuwen Qiu looked her up and down, and stared at her face for a while, "It's true that I've lost some weight, but it's still good-looking." Before the words fell, he suddenly smiled, like a mountain stream ticking and flowing a clear stream that was teased by falling flowers:

And from this point of view, it's like a little fairy who just came down to earth and doesn't eat fireworks in the world. ”

"Otherwise, I will call you a little fairy in the future?"

"......" Willow Bud's goosebumps ran out to dance the hula, and before he could say something more disgusting, she surrendered.

But he asked her to tell the maid to pack up for a few days, and the clothes and accessories should not be too plain, and even the medicine box needed to be reorganized.

When the carriage drove out of the city, Liu Ya said, "Where are you going to take me?"

"The place where Murong Pavilion Lao An enjoys his old age is a hundred times more beautiful than Peach Blossom Pond, and the peach blossom source is like spring all year round. ”

Liu Ya heard Yuzhu mention it, and remembered that the day after tomorrow was the birthday of the pavilion boss who had retired to the imperial court, but was still very prestigious, in the past, he was very low-key, only this year he invited a few old friends to celebrate, and the valley of the Peach Blossom Spring, it is not ordinary to easily step in, "What's going on there?"

"It's a festive thing. ”

Liu Ya said, "I can't see that the owner likes to use 'lungs' to speak. ”

Yuwen Qiuye squinted at her next to the car wall, "Isn't it a festive thing that the birthday banquet and the selection of a son-in-law are held at the same time?"

"If it's just a festive thing, then what can I do with the bad luck test of dealing with corpses all day long!"

"How can a little fairy who has gone down to earth to be unlucky?"

"......" Liu Ya took a deep breath speechlessly, looking at him wistfully.

The smile on Yu Wenqiu's lips deepened, "A little fairy is a little fairy, and even sighing is very good-looking!"

The melancholy in Liu Ya's eyes instantly turned into a black line on her forehead, and she didn't want to say anything cruel, so she had to ignore him, ignore him, and ignore him.

After handing out the invitation card at the tea shop at the foot of the mountain, there were people who looked like guards coming out, saluting Yuwen Qiupage respectfully, and then taking them into the hidden valley.

After many strange and mysterious levels, you will see a well-maintained peach blossom forest.

Crossing the forest is a stuck on the side of the mountain, full of old traces of the big stone gate, the guard put his hand into the hole in the door and poured half a sound, the heavy door slowly opened, and suddenly the colorful scenery was accompanied by layers of pavilions and pavilions came into view, especially that comparable to the peach blossom pool, as if pouring down from the clouds, the magnificence was amazing.

A colorful butterfly floated down on the tip of her nose.

A smiling male voice fell from the sky with the sound of breaking the wind that scared away butterflies, "Welcome to Peach Blossom Spring——"

Liu Ya looked at the man in the sea blue and blue brocade robe who had seen him in Peach Blossom Pond and was walking with Yuwen Qiuye at that time, and listened to Yuwen Qiuye on the side and said, "He is the eldest grandson of Murong Ge, Murong Zhao." ”

After bowing to each other, Murong Zhao led them to the backyard.

And Liu Ya and Yuwen Qiuye were both placed in the south wing of the Trade Wind Garden, where he lived.

After running around for so long, Liu Ya's fatigue caused by the injury could no longer be hidden, and she hurriedly entered the room to rest.

But this sleep, she was like falling into the whirlpool of the desert, her head was swollen and convex and painful, but she couldn't open her eyes, and in a drowsy moment, she felt that someone helped her up, carefully fed some bitter juice, and pasted it on her forehead with coldness, driving away all malice for her, so that she could continue to sleep with peace of mind.

When Liu Ya woke up, it was past noon, and Yuwen Qiuye was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Before she could speak, he laughed first, "I instructed the maid to prepare ginseng chicken soup, and you drink it to warm your stomach before taking medicine." ”

Liu Ya's head was still a little burning, and his whole body was also in a weak state, so he really didn't have the energy to be angry with him anymore, so he had to nod his head.

However, when Yuwen Qiuye insisted on feeding her soup, her stretched brows twisted up sharply, "I can do it myself!"

"It was I who insisted on bringing Ya'er here, causing you to be tired and sick, and I want to take care of you personally to make amends. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Or do you want me to feel guilty for the rest of my life, and in the end I can only make a promise with my body?"

The corners of Liu Ya's mouth twitched fiercely, and before she could answer, a spoonful of soup that had been blown to the right temperature was brought to her mouth with great anticipation, and seeing that he seemed to be smiling, as if he was about to spit out some disgusting words, she hurriedly leaned over and sucked the extremely fragrant soup into her mouth, swallowed it, and then spoonful by spoonful, as slow as if performing some kind of torture of frying skin and bones.

Finally finished drinking, Liu Ya only felt that she was tired and sweating with her mouth, and looked at him who brought her medicinal juice and candied fruit, and wanted to continue to serve, and couldn't help but express the most sincere doubts in her heart, "Are you tired of being a prince, do you want to change your career to be a small servant?" She insisted on rejecting the bitter medicinal juice, and took out the pill from the medicine box and took it.

"I also want to know how much is the monthly salary of inviting King Ye to be a servant?"

Liu Ya turned her head and raised her eyes to see Murong Zhao asking her, "Is Miss Liu better?"

"It's okay, thank you for your concern. Liu Ya smiled.

"That's great, my father specially set up a dinner party at the chrysanthemum table to entertain the early guests. The smile on Murong Zhao's lips was slightly cold.

Liu Ya was wondering if she had read it wrong, so she heard Yuwen Qiuye say very casually, "Who arrived early?"

"Zhang Yigeng, the representative of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and his sister Zhang Yingying, Hong Chenrui, the prince of Chaoyi Bofu, and—" Murong Zhao looked at Liu Ya ambiguously, "Fan Datong, the prince of the Zhenguo Mansion. ”

"......" Liu Ya resisted the urge to subconsciously roll her eyes when she heard this name.

Yuwen Qiuye raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean by the Hong family?"

Hong is Murong Zhao's stepmother, and he bowed his head and said, "After all, my grandfather wants to find a foil, and he won't find such a 'bad' one!"

The glorious sunset afterglow was swallowed up by the dark curtain of the sky, the flower-filled banquet table was full of singing and dancing, the host and guest sat opposite each other, Murong Master toasted from high to low with his status, and in the space of talking and laughing, Fan Datong raised his glass and said to Liu Ya:

"Before, thanks to Miss Liu's action, this son of the world has been reborn, and he should have sincerely gone to the Ministry of Servants' Mansion to thank him, but something happened at that time, so that this son has never been able to say a hundred words to Miss Liu in person, and he is here to make amends, and I hope Miss Liu will not be surprised. ”

Before Liu Ya could respond, Hong Chenrui, the prince of Chaoyi Bofu, who was sitting next to Fan Datong, watched the play as if it was too lively, and said ambiguously: "Who doesn't know that you, Fan Shizi, want to make a promise to save your life in order to repay the grace of saving your life, you were so mighty at the beginning, but now you are shy!"

The double reed sang very well, but Liu Ya seemed to hear nothing, and even the pleasant atmosphere became strange with it, and she just ate the glutinous white sugar cake slowly.

Time dragged in silence minute by minute, and Master Murong's wife, Hong, finally couldn't help but speak, "Miss Liu—"

"What's the matter?" Liu Ya interrupted Hong's just spoken voice, raised her eyes from the pastry and said, "My second brother is gone, what he said doesn't count, does it?" She swept over Hong with a smile and looked at Hong Chenrui coldly: "Or does Hong Shizi think that I am no different from the mother-in-law who collects garbage, and the people I have saved should be taken into their pockets and spoiled in turn?"

The implication is that I am not a garbage woman, what is he Fan Datong, do you really not count 13 in your hearts.

In one sentence, Fan Datong, Hong Chenrui and the three of the Hong family were cut like melons and fruits.

Yuwen Qiuye hooked the corners of his lips commendally, sandwiched the fish with the bones into the willow bud bowl, and then raised his head to look at Murong Zhao, who was smiling and enduring very hard, and swept over the Hong family, Hong Chenrui and Fan Datong, whose faces were as black as the bottom of the pot:

"It seems that Ya'er didn't blame Fan Shizi for not personally thanking him for saving his life, Fan Shizi doesn't have to worry anymore, you need to know the situation at that time to come to the rescue, maybe just to pass the time. "I didn't save you on purpose, so I didn't do anything about it.

Fan Datong's face darkened even more, and his hands shaking with indignation.

Master Murong was busy playing the round, and he toasted Fan Datong three times in a row with good words and wine, and his ugly face eased up, and then raised his glass and said with a bright smile, "Little girl Tian'er is the most good at the piano, so let her play a song for you to cheer up!"

Under his applause, it didn't take long for everyone to see a beautiful woman with a red plum blossom on her forehead, thick and delicate makeup, and a skirt like a cloud weaving with a piano.

Liu Ya only felt that when she walked up to the stage from the two rows of banquet seats, she looked at Yuwen Qiu's page intentionally or unintentionally.

But Yuwen Qiuye didn't look at her, and still concentrated on picking the fish bones.

Curved, like a trace of spring rain pouring flowers in the heart, the deep tactfulness of love, the unforgettable thoughts, all of which are fully told.

At the end, applause erupted, and the words of praise were like stars in the sky, Hong called Murong Tian to sit down beside him with a proud face, and Master Murong was also full of pride, especially Fan Datong and Hong Chenrui's sentences seemed to be as beautiful as not wanting money, and even Zhang Yigeng and Zhang Yingying were also praised word by word, at this time, I heard a loud laugh:

"Let's just say that my sister's piano can definitely be ranked first in Shangjing!" he turned his head playfully and said inquiringly, "What does King Qing think?"

King Qing dispensed with the salute that everyone had hurriedly gotten, and said with a slight smile in the gift of Master Murong, "It is indeed enough to go around Liang for three days." ”

Heh, how can an old fox like him easily grant the title of number one, Liu Ya is pouting and sneering in his heart, and he heard Murong Tian, who had ceremoniously thanked all the praises, and said with a smile, "Although Tian'er's piano skills are good, I heard that someone plays a hundred times better than Tian'er!"

Hong Chenrui almost subconsciously sneered, "Who can play a hundred times better than you?"

Everyone who was waiting for the next words saw Murong Tian looking at Liu Ya with a yearning expression, "Tian'er once listened to the maid from Yangzhou in the house, Miss Liu's piano is not only like a bird singing and a yellow finch calling, but also attracting countless butterflies to dance with her, I don't know if it's true?" Without waiting for Liu Ya to respond, she said to herself, "Please also ask Miss Liu to teach a song!"

"In this way, you must have a good experience!" said the young man who came with King Qing and sat next to Master Murong.

Liu Ya crossed the gaze of the crowd that was either unbelievable or full of expectation, and squinted down and said, "Murong Zhao, did you pay to invite you to come back to perform on stage?"

Murong Zhao, who was named by name, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "No." ”

"Then I have the right to refuse these 'invitations', right?"

"Of course. ”

Liu Ya looked at Master Murong with a glance, "The hospitality of the Murong family won't be difficult for the strong, right?"

"Naturally not. Master Murong was numb by her cold gaze, and a cold sweat broke out on his back, this little ancestor is not a person who can give face, how can everyone like to provoke her, and he has to clean up the mess, so he hurriedly said with a decent smile, "Since Miss Liu doesn't want to play a song-"

"Is Miss Liu unwilling, or won't?" Hong Chenrui opened the circle played by Master Murong and sneered disdainfully, "Also, like Miss Liu, she must accompany her father to socialize and socialize when she has time, where does she have the leisure to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and only these famous families like to fiddle with elegance!"

"I'm really not good at being vassal. Liu Ya said indifferently, "The usual pastime is also to dissect the corpse, play with medicine, and save people. ”

The strange atmosphere suddenly dropped rapidly, like ice and snow quietly swimming away from Hong Chenrui's body, trying to attack those who dared to resist, he wanted to speak again, but a female voice sounded crisply first:

"Why don't you let me play a song, although it is not as beautiful as Miss Murong San, but I have always practiced on weekdays, and please give me advice!" Before everyone could react, Zhang Yingying had already stepped onto the stage, and when she crossed the willow buds, she smiled sweetly at her.
