In the thatched cottage of the robber cottage.

With a "bang", the board hit the table.

I waved the folding fan I begged from the robber brother, and said slowly: "The last time I wrote that although the official lady Qingliu was born by the official master's concubine, because she loved her too much, she was forcibly handed over to me." He was raised by his first wife, and because the eldest son of his first wife suffered from eye disease, he could not inherit the family business. The second son went to another province, and his whereabouts are still unknown. The third son has a stubborn and violent temperament, let alone someone who can be trusted, so this official lord gave birth to After finding a way, he actually wanted to hand over the tens of thousands of family property to this concubine daughter to take care of..."

The flame flickered, illuminating the young lady's face uncertainly.

I rubbed my nose and continued to talk about the plot in "The Romance of the Rivers and Lakes" with a guilty conscience: "Who would have thought that once this thought came out, the collateral clans would become greedy and want to replace this huge family business. Miss Qingliu is unparalleled in intelligence. Naturally, I understand the wolfish ambitions of these people, and I am on the dike day and night, lest I accidentally lose my ancestors' family business..."

The eldest lady's face still did not ease.

My voice was a little hoarse, "Miss Qingliu is trembling like walking on thin ice. She just wants to fly out of the cage one day, walk among the mountains and rivers, take the stars as companions, enjoy flowers and birds, and ignore family matters..."

I stopped and looked at the young lady pitifully with a bitter face.

Seeing me stop, the eldest lady snorted, and finally spoke, saying the first sentence since we were kidnapped back to the cottage: "Why don't you talk?"

I frowned and pointed to my throat, "I've been talking for two hours, and my throat hurts."

The eldest lady's brows finally loosened a bit, and her eyes softened a little, "Didn't you just say that this is a broken book written by a bad person? Didn't you never read it? How can you speak so proficiently that you never make a mistake in every word?" ?”

I clasped my fists and said modestly, "Acceptance. For some reason, this story seems to be engraved in my mind. It's hard to say wrong. I think this is probably the so-called genius."

Miss: "..."

The eldest lady looked up at the sky, with a regretful expression that she shouldn't have talked to me just now.

I picked up the two bowls of noodles brought in by the elder brother at the door and walked over, leaving the bowl with more vegetables for her, then squatting beside her and eating the bowl with less vegetables.

I was really hungry, so I ate a bit deliciously. After eating the noodles, I drank the noodle soup completely.The eldest lady was finally moved by the smell of the rice, lowered her head slightly, and finally set her eyes on me.

Rather helpless: "Don't talk about it?"

I nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I will pay attention next time."

She glanced at the remaining bowl of noodles and asked me, "Is it delicious?"

I thought about it: "The noodles are a bit rough, and the soup is a bit salty."

The eldest lady twitched the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying.

"I was wrong." I sincerely apologized again, "I swear, at first I wanted you to go and let the robbers take me back. But you didn't refuse at all, I was a little unhappy. That's why I... ...I got you in trouble!"

The eldest lady looked around at the crude facilities of the thatched cottage, and said awkwardly: "What is the point of saying these things now?"

I was speechless, pushed the noodle bowl in front of her, and persuaded: "Eat some."

The eldest lady picked up the bowl, picked up a sticky noodle with chopsticks, looked at it, put the bowl back in my hand in despair, and said, "Let me die."

"Don't, don't, don't," I hurriedly stood up, "Don't be so unhappy, I'll tell you what books you want to hear."

The eldest lady's eyes lit up, and she immediately lowered her eyes to cover them up, and asked quickly, "You can speak all kinds of books?"

"You tell me the title first."

""Children's Enmity and Enmity"."

"It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a hero in the martial arts world, named Wu Cuibing, who was born with five short stature, and sold sesame seed cakes for a living. But he didn't want to get a fairy beauty as his wife one day, and by chance, he got a copy of "Chrysanthemum Treasure Book" He practiced with his wife day and night, blending yin and yang, and opened up the two veins of Ren and Du..."

"The Legend of the Heroic Bird."

"It is said that in the past, there was a sacred mountain in the southwestern Shu area, and there was a divine bird in the mountain, which was as tall as a human being, able to speak, good at flying, and understood human nature. There was a boy with a broken arm who strayed into the forest and was rescued by a divine bird. The boy with a broken arm was so good at eating The divine elixir bestowed by the bird has multiplied its skill and made it look glamorous and handsome. Later, a young woman in white clothes took a fancy to her and took her as a closed-door disciple, teaching her martial arts, and hanging out with her day and night..."

"The First Eunuch."

"It is said that during the reign of Qianteng, there was a green-skinned rogue who was accidentally forced into the palace and became a eunuch, but this guy was lucky enough to meet and become friends with the young emperor, and later helped the young emperor eradicate dissidents and regain the territory , wiped out the rebel bandits, won the trust of the emperor, and even bestowed him the position of first-rank official..."

The eldest lady couldn't keep her mouth shut for a long time, "You, you...you can talk about any book?"

I nodded, sat beside her and coaxed: "As long as you don't get angry, I will tell you everything."

"You, you don't come here!" The eldest lady's face was slightly dry, she pushed me away, and lay on the kang with her back facing me: "Do you think I will forgive you like this?"

I spread my hands: "Yes, I thought you would forgive me in this way."

Is not it?

The eldest lady lifted the quilt to cover her head, and a haughty voice came from under the quilt: "No!"

I ran over meanly and reached out to pull the quilt for her: "Don't sleep with your head covered, it's not good for your health."

"I want you to take care of it!"

I:"……"

I withdrew my hand and sat on the small bench obediently, no longer being mean and annoying.

I don't know how long it took before the eldest lady lifted the quilt suddenly, and stared at me with big bright eyes: "Hey, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name."

Before I could react, she said quickly again: "My small character is Xiangli. An Xiangli."

Then he asked impatiently: "What about you? Tell me!"

"Just call me a beauty." I was shy.

Miss An Xiangli looked at me expressionlessly.

It's really boring. I despise her in my heart, but I can only reply respectfully on the face: "My name is Changliu. The long flow of thin water and long flow."

Miss An suddenly covered the quilt after listening to it, and covered her head again, her voice couldn't tell whether it was disgust or happiness: "Cut, it's really ugly."

***

An Xiangli fell asleep with his head covered.

I saw that there was no place for me on the kang, and I couldn't fall asleep lying on the table.Being idle and bored, he sneaked out from the roof.

The robbers returned with a full load, and there was a peaceful atmosphere of celebration in the village. Only two big men were left guarding the door to drink, as if they thought we would never escape.

In my sleeve is the dagger that An Xiangli wanted to commit suicide just now. I took it secretly while the robbers were happily checking the stolen things. Fortunately, there are many valuable things in the lady's car, and none of the robbers have any. Notice the short sword.

I took advantage of the night to jump onto the sycamore tree next to the thatched hut. When I climbed the tree, I didn’t stand firmly and stepped on a branch. After a long time, seeing nothing and not being suspicious, he drank again.

I held my breath and stayed on the tree for a while, and when I saw no one was suspicious, I felt relieved and jumped from the tree to another courtyard.

This courtyard is quite large, and it is much better tidied up than the small thatched hut where we were imprisoned. It can be seen that it is the residence of relatively noble people.There are several big men guarding the courtyard, and there are two fat and thin people carrying wine and food into and out of a room not far away.

The fat man serving the wine and food said: "I don't know when the head of the family will enjoy those two little beauties. The lady from the official family is so delicate and pretty, and I don't know when it will be my turn to play."

The thin man raised his hand and gave him a slap in the face, and reprimanded in a low voice: "What are you thinking? The head of the family did not order the third brother to rob him for enjoyment. That is the lady of Lord Anding's mansion. The head of the house has big plans." Hurry up and put away your dirty thoughts, if the head of the family listens to it, you will feel better."

The fat man smiled and said: "Of course I know this, it's just a joke. Brother, don't be angry, we brothers should hurry up and deliver the food and drinks. I heard from the people below that the distinguished guests will arrive soon."

The thin man responded, and entered the room with the fat man.

I jumped onto the eaves, hid myself in a corner under the darkness of night, lifted a brick and looked down.

Not long after, the door of the room was pushed open, and a man who was obviously dressed better than those young men just walked in with a big smile, and said to the people behind him: "It's been a hard journey, come in and sit down."

He turned sideways, and a man in black walked in from behind him.This man was tall and slender, his arms, legs and feet were wrapped in corsets specially designed for soldiers, his waist was slender and his legs were long, his chest was a little protruding.

Female, female?

I was a little surprised.

As soon as that person came in, he immediately brought in a cold breath, which made people's hearts tremble.

The man didn't refuse, took the seat with his back to me, and said calmly: "What is the habit of the head of the house?" His voice was cold, a little tired and hoarse, but surprisingly pleasant.

"Used! Of course I am used to it!" The head of the house sat down with a smile, "If you hadn't helped me at that time, I would not have been able to sit in this position smoothly. I will remember your kindness." Picking up the flagon and pouring a glass: "The wind and dust , have a drink first to relieve fatigue."

The man was not humble, took a sip, and asked, "Did Miss An get it back?"

"Naturally. There is another woman, who should be Miss Jiao's maid."

I silently pissed off the boss, I'm not a maid!

The man hummed and drank the wine in the glass, "Although she is not favored, she is still the young lady of the An family. Knowing that she has been robbed, Jingzhong should postpone the marriage of the two families for a few days. "

The head of the family said: "That old thief is very sinister, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to delay the marriage. The old thief has been thinking about the power of Xiangye for a long time."

"Well, you should also keep an eye on Mr. Xiang, if you can stir up some troubles, that would be the best."

The head of the family smiled: "You have really changed. In the past, you didn't like to get involved in these things. I didn't expect that being thrown out by the princess to fight for several years would change your temperament."

The head of the family poured the man another drink, and continued: "Recently, there has been news in Beijing that Princess Jian Guo has disappeared a year ago, and the one in the palace is just someone pretending to be."

The man stagnated slightly, and smiled slightly: "It's better not to listen to unrealistic rumors."

The head of the house smiled and shook his head, "How long will you stay?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I have to visit the neighboring counties before I go back to the barracks. I received Ziming's letter from Feige before evening. I'm afraid it's..." She didn't say anything here. She picked up a piece of beef, but it was too late Put it in your mouth.

"I don't know what the princess thinks. Among the four major assistant ministers, only your father, General Fu, and Ziming's father, Uncle Wei, are loyal to her, but she is kind. A decree not only drove you to guard the border town, but also made you Ziming is going to be a small county magistrate the size of a sesame seed and mung bean."

The man paused, and then slowly said: "She has her own plan."

"What are your plans..." The head of the house snorted, "Don't mention this, it will make you sad. You can rest in this room tonight. I will take the wine away. You are not good at drinking, so don't let it cause trouble."

"Hmm." The man responded.

The head of the household went out with the jug in hand, told his subordinates not to be disturbed, and left.

The person walked to the soft couch directly under my hiding place, lay down on it, and finally showed her face.

His eyebrows are heroic and his face is handsome.It's like a painting, but it's hard to describe in every way.There is also a different kind of demeanor in every gesture.

I was only looking at her face, but I forgot to hide for a while, and accidentally knocked on the bricks and tiles.

She slept very lightly, and immediately opened her eyes when she heard the sound, just in time to see me with a big face on the roof.

I panicked and didn't know whether to retreat or welcome.

She stared at me deeply, her eyes were focused and gentle, after a while, she closed her eyes again, and said in an inaudible voice, "It really was a mistake to drink."
