Liu's Compound.

"Do you understand what I said earlier?"

Liu Gui sat in the hall, looking down at the younger generations of the Liu family, and behind him was the new maid who came yesterday, named Cailian.

Cailian has a pair of skillful hands and a wonderful tongue, as for where this ingenuity is, where is the wonder.

The reason for this is unspeakable, unspeakable.

Liu Gui enjoyed the massage of Cailian, "Say, son, for the sake of your father, you are holding your stomach." ”

A man slowly walked out of the crowd, although most of the people present were officials, but the python pattern on his official uniform was particularly conspicuous.

This is the glory of the Liu family given to him by the Queen Mother, in addition to the old man, the Liu family is also the only one in this generation Liu He has this honor.

Don't look at Liu Gui so absurd, but Liu Hezhi is his only son.

In addition, he became a waiter in the Ministry of Rites at a young age, which can be described as the leader of the younger generation and the future pillar of the Liu family.

If most of the women in Liangzhou like to talk about His Royal Highness, then there is no daughter in Youzhou who does not know Liu Hezhi.

But most of them are regrets, they gave birth to a good skin and have a bright future, but they are reincarnated as a pervert.

Liu Hezhi just smiled when he heard it, after all, he couldn't push his father out.

"Returning to his father, the son had nothing to say. ”

Liu Hezhi bowed expressionlessly, and the etiquette was in place.

"Then let's disperse. ”

When everyone dispersed, Liu Hezhi still stood still.

"Oh?" Liu Gui is also a good person, and said to Cailian behind him, "You go to the room to cook a bowl of clear soup, my son has been running all the way, presumably thirsty and tired." ”

"No. ”

Cai Lian slowly left.

"Didn't you say you had nothing to say?"

The son had nothing to say, this time he just imagined his father asking for permission. ”

Liu Hezhi said.

Liu Gui was not surprised, and took a sip of tea, "If it is your marriage with the Bai family, this matter is not for your father, but for your grandfather and the palace." ”

"Definitely. Liu Hezhi shook his head, "My son wants to take a sneak peek, so he can have a bottom in his heart." ”

Even if he didn't say what he was looking at, Liu Gui already knew it, and smiled, "You are a waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette, and you pay the most attention to etiquette on weekdays, so this matter doesn't seem to be in line with etiquette, right?"

"Etiquette is in the heart, not in action. ”

Liu Hezhi seems to have been born with such a dead face.

"Drink the clear soup and leave. ”

Liu Hezhi nodded, waited for a while, and saw Cailian serving the clear soup, although he drank it all in one gulp, his posture was indescribably elegant.

The son retired. ”

Liu Gui waved his hand, turned to Cailian on the side, and smiled evilly, "Cailian, it's time to practice......

Cai Lian blushed suddenly.

On the South Mountain, a hundred miles away, there is still a game between the two.

"The younger generation is ashamed of himself, so I will buy you peach cakes. ”

The young man got up

"Come back. ”

At this time, a carrier pigeon landed.

Liu Yichen removed the secret letter at the feet of the carrier pigeon, opened it and smiled, "You don't need to buy peach cakes, someone will send them." ”

"Who?"

Liu Yichen pointed to the path under the mountain, "Look, this isn't coming. ”

A young voice slowly walked up the winding mountain path, carrying a food box in his hand, and the python pattern on the official uniform glowed in the afterglow.

-------------------------------------

Good to come back to the inn

Knock knock.

At this time, it is already past the time, and it stands to reason that no one should visit, not to mention that they live in the most noble and secret A-type room, and those who know it have a great background.

The white paper painting and the white feather fan are worthy of being a martial arts cultivator, the knock on the door did not sound, and he woke up when he heard the other party's deliberately light footsteps.

At this time, the two were sitting on the bed, their eyes met for a moment, the white feather fan understood, pulled out the soft sword on his waist, shook it slightly, and slowly walked to the door.

The candle flame outside the door danced, reflecting a low figure.

Squeak.

The white feather fan opened the square door, and a sword was pressed against the neck of the comer.

"The woman spares her life, the woman spares her life. ”

The familiar fat body, the obscene little eyes were full of fear, and a pair of hands holding oil lamps trembled uncontrollably, and accidentally spilled a few drops of lamp oil, making a sizzling sound with the wooden board.

"Shopkeeper Hao?"

The white paper painting was the first to recognize this person, and it was the shopkeeper of the inn who came again.

She motioned for the white feather fan to lower her sword.

In fact, it's no wonder that the white feather fan, who let this girl come every time she either walks through the window or the eaves, and even the only time she walks through the door is to the third floor, the whole process avoids meeting with Hao again, and it is understandable not to know.

"I'm sorry, shopkeeper Hao, this is my sister, I don't recognize you, not to mention that it's in the middle of the night, and my daughter is out of the house, so I still have to take more precautions...... There are many offends, and I hope for Haihan. ”

I have long heard that the Bai sisters have peanuts and are twins, which is the dream of countless men.

Ahem, it's far away.

Hao Zailai nodded, "It should be, it should be." ”

"I don't know what Shopkeeper Hao is doing in the middle of the night?"

The blank paper painting asked.

"This ...... Can you go in and talk about it?"

Hao said again.

Although the white feather fan has never seen this person, he is very unhappy with the first reflection, not to mention the appearance of thief eyebrows and mouse eyes, there is a mole at the corner of his mouth, and there is hair, with his face, it is really unpopular.

So it has been blocked by the white feather fan intentionally or unintentionally sideways.

"Feather fan, let Shopkeeper Hao come in. ”

There is no doubt between the words of the blank paper painting.

The white feather fan understands his sister, and he usually calls himself a fan, a small fan, but now he is called a feather fan.

Don't underestimate the difference between this word, which represents the majesty of white paper painting.

The white feather fan snorted, and went to the side in a huff, leaning against the door, holding his hands and watching quietly.

Obviously, even after listening to her sister's words, she still didn't worry about this person, the soft sword in her hand was not wrapped around her waist, but wrapped around her arm, and if anything happened, she would shoot quickly.

Although she doesn't think that there are a few people who can hurt her sister now, she is not afraid of 10,000 in case.

The most important thing is that her left eye is beating all the time.

The woman's sixth sense also tells her that this person is not simple.

Hao Zailai sat down with the blank paper painting.

Hao came to the point again, took out something from his arms, and the white feather fan saw him groping in his arms, and was about to make a move but was signaled not to move by the white paper painting.

He took out the contents of his bosom.

A tip.

"I won't beat around the bush with the white girl, it's not as simple as it seems, this matter must be known as a girl, but the girl doesn't know what the use of this inn is, it doesn't hurt to tell the white girl today, Hao Zai to the inn is a great intelligence organization. ”

The blank paper painting did not show the slightest surprise, but poured a cup of tea for Hao Zailai and another cup for himself.

Hao Zai smiled mockingly, "It seems that the girl already knows." ”

"Go on. ”

"Although Hao Mouming is a shopkeeper on the surface, he is actually begging for a living under the hands of others, but over the years I have learned a truth, even if he is worth a lot of money, even if he is above 10,000 people, he is under one person after all. ”

"You want to seek power?"

can say this matter so easily, it can be seen that the blank paper painting is also a ruthless person.

"The white girl doesn't dare to talk nonsense, this is a big sin to punish the nine clans by losing her head. Hao Zailai continued, "Hao doesn't have that much ambition and no courage, but he just wants to be his own master." ”

"Shopkeeper Hao said so much, I must be thirsty, let's take a sip of tea first. ”

Hao took a sip again, "I want to cooperate with Miss Bai, this tip is Hao's sincerity." ”

"What's up here?"

"Nature is what the girl wants most now, and what she needs the most. ”

Hao Zailai started a dumb riddle.

"Since you have the intelligence organization of the inn again, you should also know that my investigation and decision department also has an intelligence organization, and your sincerity is not attractive to me in the slightest. ”

Said the blank paper drawing.

"Ahahahaha. ”

Hao Zailai laughed, "The information of the Fengmen is indeed one of the best, but each door of the Investigation and Decision Division has always performed its own duties, even if there is information, it is in the hands of the person in charge, even if the task is completed, it will not reveal a cent, not to mention the special of the Shadow Gate, it is right to say it below, Lord Supervisor." ”

When the two talk about each other, if one party is in doubt, there will be worries, worries will be worried, worries will be chaotic, and chaos will be inferior.

In the eyes of outsiders, the investigation division is just a desolate yard that has long been overgrown with weeds, but when Hao said these words again, the white paper painting was already moved, and the information of the wind gate could not be used by her, so she still took a huge risk this time to be able to take a look.

If it weren't for the master's face, the people of Fengmen would naturally not give up easily.

If there is help from a good return, it will indeed get twice the result with half the effort.

But what worries her is the internal affairs of the Investigation Division: why does he know so clearly, it seems that the division already has the other party's eyeliner.

But the investigation division is very strict, how did the other party's eyeliner get in?

"How's it going?"

The white paper painting did not answer in a hurry, and Hao Zailai did not ask again and again, but drank three cups of tea slowly.

"The best Biluochun, it's a pity that it's cold. No matter how good the tea is, if it is cold, it will have to be poured after all. ”

There is something in these words, the point is so obvious, and there is a lofty posture, but it seems stupid.

"Deal. ”

"But I don't know anything. ”

"White girl, do you think I'm stupid enough to expose my eyeliner? ”

Hao came to the next word.

Seeing the white paper painting frowning, he said again,

However, in order to show sincerity, Hao added some sincerity to the girl. ”

Hao Zailai took out a scroll from his arms again, "Here is a record of Liu Hezhi's life." I don't know if the girl will be satisfied. ”

The two talked for a while.

Until before leaving, the white feather fan never gave Hao another look.

Hao Zailai walked to the door and suddenly stopped, and then smiled at the white feather fan, "The guy the girl is interested in, Hao also happens to know some news." ”

"Where is he?" replied to the white feather fan subconsciously, and then closed his mouth again.

"Far away, close at hand. ”

"Hey, don't go, don't go, come back and make things clear. ”

Hao Zailai's fat body disappeared into the black aisle and did not respond.

The white feather fan was afraid of alarming others, so he didn't dare to speak out, so he had to scold a few dead fat people in his heart and give up.

A modest oil lamp shimmered on the table in the compartment.

Squeak.

The wind in the middle of the night pushed open the window, and that hint of coolness chilled the wick.

The white paper painting looked at the lamp and muttered, "The oil is out......"

-------------------------------------

Although it is spring, the sun in Youzhou always feels a little more poisonous than that in other places.

The mosquitoes have not yet recovered from the cold winter wax moon, so they are just a little hot and dry, not to mention itchy.

It is rumored that the heat in this Youzhou is forced by the blacksmiths that can be seen everywhere on the streets.

This sounds funny, but the sound of striking iron from time to time in the iron shop, as well as the scarlet that moves, makes this rumor a little confirmed.

"This ghost weather is really hot, go to his grandmother's spring cold. ”

A rough man scolded.

The herbal tea shop on the side of the village is the most profitable business in Youzhou besides striking iron.

"Dumb, two bowls of herbal tea and less honey. ”

This herbal tea shop is the hottest one in recent days, the façade is not big or luxurious, but there are four or five tables on the side of the road, and a shed has been made.

But the taste of this herbal tea is really good, that is, the children of large families in Youzhou are used to eating the best herbal tea in the city, and when they hear about this remote shop, they will inevitably have the idea of hunting for curiosity and invite people to find it.

I found it, but this dumb man was a wooden fish head, and no matter how much money he gave, he refused to move the nest.

These gentlemen came to him in groups of three or five.

A big scolding, a small herbal tea shop...... But there was no follow-up.

It's just because of this full of anger, but a bowl of herbal tea is to smoke and disappear the cloud, and there is no trace of it.

Even if this dumb man's temper stinks, they have to admit that this dumb herbal tea does have an indescribable charm.

Every time I think about it, I smack my lips secretly.

The ladies in Youzhou can't stand the heat, but for the sake of face, they don't dare to come more or drink more.

was seen by others, and a few greedy words were arranged behind his back, and the parents in the family must be unhappy.

said that the matchmaker who is not a long-tongued woman, even if he receives benefits, but if this mouth is not careful, it will be a meat bun beating a dog - there is no return.

Some people are happy and some people are worried, and the peers will inevitably have some bad thoughts when they see the dumb man stealing the business, but until now the dumb shop's shop has been unharmed, but he is the only one left in the nearby herbal tea shop.

"Dumb, uncle, why are my two bowls of herbal tea still not good, be careful that uncle smashes your herbal tea shop!"

The rough man glared at the mute man with a pair of bear eyes and said viciously.

The mute man didn't look at him, but stared at the path not far away.

The rough man felt that he was being ignored, and he was angry, but his temperament of walking the rivers and lakes for many years told him that it was better to be cautious.

Unfortunately, there was still a fresh breeze on that road, and there was nothing unusual about it.

After a while, two shadows appeared in everyone's sight.

What a fairy-like beauty this is.

They raised their heads, and the sound of saliva was clearly visible.

You can only watch from a distance, and you can't play with it.

The reprimand of the ancestors: Don't forget the knife on the head of the color word.

The rough man swallowed his saliva, and said that he was cowardly, and this was true.

He was proud of his strong martial arts, and he was stunned by beauty, so he said something bastard.

"Good two little girl's skins, they look a little beautiful, or to the twins, how dangerous this barren mountain and wild mountain is, or follow the uncle, eat and drink spicy, so unhappy......."

The second half of this sentence is stuck in my throat forever and can't come out.

He didn't see any movement from the other party, only smelled the unique fragrance, which was the fat powder smell of Liupinzhai......

The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the grievances are difficult, which head is not borrowed from the neck?

This matter cannot be controlled by the government, which has also been an unwritten rule over the years.

The guests at the other table were all from the rivers and lakes, except for a peasant woman dressed as a peasant woman who fainted in fright, and they had long been surprised, but they still quietly moved the wooden bench to the side.

The two girls sat down, and they were the sisters with white feather fans painted on white paper.

"Two bowls of herbal tea. ”

After finishing the blank paper drawing, he picked up the military book and flipped through it.

The dumb look did not change for a moment, his hands and feet were numb, two bowls of herbal tea were brought to the two of them, and the beads of sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.

He compared a six, which means six coins.

The white paper painting took out a silver ingot from the waist coil, and it seemed that it was estimated to be ten taels.

The dumb man shook his hand, signaling too much.

The white paper painting smiled, "No, this silver pair wants to ask you something. ”

The mute shook his head and pointed to his mouth, making a sound of Abba Aba.

"You don't have to speak, I ask you questions, you just have to nod or shake your head. ”

Said the blank paper drawing.

The dumb still shook his head.

Bai Yufan couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table, "You can't find such a good deal with lanterns, but it's much more profitable than you work hard to sell herbal tea all day." ”

The dumb man was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it, and nodded.

"Those people were right, what an elm pimple. ”

The white feather fan muttered quietly.

"Lupin. ”

Bai Yufan heard his sister's call, sat back on the stool, picked up the bowl by himself, drank herbal tea, and stopped talking.

A stream of coolness flows into the body, spreads from the five organs and six spleens to the whole body.

This herbal tea is really good, Bai Yufan thought so.

Looking at the white paper painting again, holding the military book in one hand and the bowl in the other, "I only ask you three questions, you have to answer truthfully, and after answering, the silver and the two will be yours." The first question is, are you a native of Youzhou?"

The mute nodded.

The white paper painting did not continue to ask, but took a sip of herbal tea,

"The second question, is the recipe for this herbal tea an ancestral heirloom?"

The mute nodded.

The white paper painting smiled, and the world lost its eyes when it was laughing, and she drank the herbal tea, leaving the silver ingot.

"Herbal tea is good, I will come often when I have time. ”

He turned to the white feather fan on the side and said, "Fan'er, let's go. ”

When I returned to the inn, the white feather fan's butt had not yet touched the bed when I heard the white paper painting say, "Ask, I know you have a question in your heart." ”

"Hehe, my sister is really an unpredictable prophet, my admiration for you is like a surging river, endless and out of control. ”

The white paper painting smiled and scolded for not having a proper shape, and tapped it on the head of the white feather fan, "Ask quickly, before I change my mind." ”

"Actually, it's not a big problem, it's just that I'm just curious about what my sister said was good to ask three questions, why only ask two, it's a waste to give the ten taels of silver to that dumb man. ”

White Feather Fan said.

"If none of them are the answers you want, what difference does it make if you ask three or two? ”

Bai Feather Fan agreed, "That's right, not to mention that the man is still a dumb person." ”

"What if the man wasn't dumb?"

Draw a white paper and raise eyebrows.

"Sister means the man is pretending to be dumb?"

The blank paper painting nodded.

"Then why doesn't my sister tear him down and let him answer you?"

The white feather fan wondered.

"You can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, just as you cannot get a person who is pretending to be deaf and dumb to speak. ”

Said the blank paper drawing.

That being the case, the two questions my sister asked earlier were meaningless. ”

The white feather fan yawned, looking a little sleepy.

Spring sleepiness, autumn lack of hibernation, summer napping, this year is not the time not to sleep.

The blank paper painting walked to the window and pushed it open, "On the contrary, it was his desire to cover up that showed his feet." ”

"My first question was whether he was from Youzhou, he nodded, but he was lying, Youzhou didn't say that it was cold in spring, and it was unbearably hot before summer, which led to the herbal tea shop in Youzhou being more popular than other places. And Youzhou people know that this weather is hot and dry, so they don't know how to wear cotton for a long time, and they wear cooler lun instead. But the dumb man was obviously dressed in cotton, so he only made two bowls of herbal tea, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his head dripped down. ”

The white feather fan was blown by the wind and pouted.

The white paper painting turned around and continued: "This second question, I asked him if the recipe for herbal tea was ancestral, and he still nodded, but you and I have felt the special features of this herbal tea, if it is really ancestral, most people should avoid this problem, let alone admit it, the husband is not guilty of his guilt, this truth is understood, no one will be stupid enough to push themselves to the cusp, cut off their own financial path, and also cut off their own way of life." ”

"The most important point is that when a person has a defect, no matter how strong his heart is, he will be more or less a little guilty, but this person is often called dumb, and his eyes are not the slightest dim, but from time to time reveal a trace of disdain, is that the look that an ordinary person should have?"

"I see, my sister's observation is really nuanced. But why is my sister so interested in a person who pretends to be dumb, the rivers and lakes are so big, there are eight out of seventeen such people. ”

"What if this dumb man has what we've been looking for?"

As soon as he heard this, Bai Yufan instantly became interested, "What does my sister mean...... Books?"

Draw the head on white paper.

"On weekdays, there are many people, it is not easy to do it, we must not act rashly, so as not to startle the snake, if it is not for Hao again's tips, we will not be able to go so smoothly, this time is the sincerity of cooperation, next time there will be no such good thing. ”

"So what are we going to do?"

White Feather Fan asked.

"Wait a while to drink a few bowls of herbal tea, find a good time to wait until he closes the stall, and we will do this and this, and so ........"

The white paper drawing of the war book was turned overnight, and there were four words on this page that attracted people's attention - the plan will be calculated.
