Thousands of years

It is. ”

"Lin girl, is there a place for me to hide?" Bai Yutang hurriedly said to Lin Ruoqing, turning his head to look outside the door from time to time.

"Ah?" Lin Ruoqing didn't understand why, she stood up and couldn't help but followed his gaze and looked out the door, who made the unruly Bai Yutang so afraid?

"Hurry up, Miss Lin." Bai Yutang saw a pink figure approaching from a distance, and his face became even more anxious.

"Come with me." Lin Ruoqing thought that he had met an enemy, and hurriedly dragged him to hide in the backyard.

Lin Ruoqing hid Bai Yutang well, and when she came to the shop in front, she saw a ten-year-old girl in a pink dress rushing angrily through the door with a dagger in her hand.

The old man Lin came out from behind the counter and was about to greet her, when Lin Ruoqing quickly stepped forward and said, "Father, just leave it to me." Then she smiled at the girl: "Girl, you want to eat here What about dim sum? Or do you want to buy it home? We have all kinds of dim sum here, you can choose as you like."

The girl ignored her, and scanned the shop with her eyes, before she said to Lin Ruoqing: "Let me ask you, have you ever seen a man in white clothes and holding a sword?" But with a little arrogance.

Lin Ruoqing never liked arrogant people, she immediately lowered her face when she asked such a question, and said coldly, "I didn't see it."

"How is it possible? I clearly saw him come in here?" The girl in pink said unwillingly.

"If girl doesn't want to buy some snacks, please go back. I really didn't see the person you're looking for." Lin Ruoqing angrily threw this sentence at her, and continued to sit back where she was, ignoring her.

"Hmph, this damned apprentice, I must have skinned him if I caught him." The girl stomped her feet fiercely, turned and left.

"Dengtuzi?" Lin Ruoqing repeated with her eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Don't listen to her nonsense." Bai Yutang came in through the curtain from behind, sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, let out a foul breath in his chest, and explained: "That girl looks like that It's also worth my frivolity. I just went to Zhouqiao to watch the dragon boat race for a while. At that time, there were a lot of people, and I accidentally touched that girl. Who would have thought that she would not let her go, and insisted on saying five It's really unreasonable for me to belittle her and insist on killing me with a sword." Bai Yutang seemed to be thirsty, poured another cup of tea and drank it all, and said to Lin Ruoqing, "Madam Lin, how about some food? ? Master Wu, I haven’t had lunch yet.”

Lin Ruoqing had never seen Bai Yutang in such a state of distress, she couldn't help laughing out loud, she got up and brought him some food, added a pot of calamus wine, and said with a smile: "Come on, fifth master, today's Dragon Boat Festival, drink some Calamus wine, for fifth master, to ward off evil spirits and keep away from villains." Then he filled up the wine and handed it to him.

Bai Yutang took the wine, and cast a sideways glance at Lin Ruoqing with his peach blossom eyes: "Stinky girl, just read the jokes about me, Fifth Master." After speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.

"Where is it? I knew that girl must be making trouble out of no reason. I was doing it for the good of fifth master. Don't be ignorant of good people." Lin Ruoqing poured him another glass and sat down opposite him.

"What? Didn't the stinky cat come?" Bai Yutang asked while picking up a piece of snack.

Lin Ruoqing shook her head lightly, her expression darkened.

"Hey, that cat's heart is full of Mr. Bao and his official business, so you won't be afraid of being wronged when you're with him?" Bai Yutang drank the wine in his glass and asked with concern.

Lin Ruoqing fiddled with the teacup in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Men should always focus on their careers, how can they always revolve around women?"

"That being said, in my heart, I still hope that he can spend more time with you, right?" Bai Yutang continued to ask.

Lin Ruoqing bowed his head and said nothing, Bai Yutang couldn't help sighing in his heart when he saw her like that, he put down the cup in his hand, and said to Lin Ruoqing: "Girl, if Zhan Zhao bullies you in the future, tell Fifth Master, Fifth Master will definitely vent his anger on you , will not spare that cat lightly."

Lin Ruoqing raised her head to meet Bai Yutang's sincere gaze, moved in her heart, and nodded slightly.

The two ate and chatted until the afternoon before Bai Yutang bid farewell and left.

After seeing off Bai Yutang, a group of customers came back to the store. Lin Ruoqing calmed down and got busy again. Until the customers gradually dispersed and the store was close to closing, Lin Ruoqing never saw Zhan Zhao's figure. Intensified, the face can no longer hide.Old man Lin seemed to have vaguely guessed something, and while he was happy for Lin Ruoqing, he couldn't help feeling deeply worried.

"Ruoqing, it's getting late, it's time to go home." Old man Lin said to Lin Ruoqing who was in a daze after cleaning up the shop.

"Oh, you go back first, I will go back by myself after a while." Lin Ruoqing said absent-mindedly.Old man Lin sighed, said nothing more, picked up the lantern placed at the door, and quietly went out.

Lin Ruoqing looked at the dark night outside the door, and there was no sign of that person. Holding a breath in her heart, she sat at the table, picked up chopsticks and knocked on the teapot vigorously, muttering bitterly: "Dead Zhan Zhao, rotten Zhan Zhao , If you don’t come now, your words don’t count.”

"If you talk about people's right and wrong behind your back, be careful of retribution." A warm voice with a slight smile came from behind.Lin Ruoqing turned her head in surprise, Zhan Zhao in blue looked at her with a smile in the shadow of the lamp.

"Zhan Zhao." Lin Ruoqing finally couldn't help but threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Why are you here now? I've been waiting for you for so long." Lin Ruoqing raised her face from his arms to look at him, and reproached softly.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and patted her cheek, smiling all over his face: "Hey, haven't I come here?"

Lin Ruoqing let go of her hand, turned her face away on purpose, and said with feigned anger, "It's too dishonest to dismiss you with just one word."

Zhan Zhao took her hand with a smile, took out from his waist the Baisuo that he bought some time today, put it on her wrist, and said softly: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I guess you are busy with the business in the store, so you must be busy." It was empty, so I bought it for you. Why don’t you wear Baisuo on the Dragon Boat Festival? Healing illness and self-defense can keep you safe.”

Lin Ruoqing shook the Baisuo on her wrist, although there was a faint joy in her heart, she still didn't show it, and said calmly, "Master Zhan, are you not sincere enough?"

Zhan Zhao looked at Lin Ruoqing's playful look, and said with a light smile, "Close the shop door first, and I'll take you somewhere."

"Where are you going?" Lin Ruoqing wondered.

"You'll know once you've gone." Zhan Zhao deliberately put on a show.The two went out of the shop, put down the door, and walked towards the Bian River side by side. Lin Ruoqing kept asking where they were going along the way, but Zhan Zhao kept smiling and didn't answer.

Lin Ruoqing saw that she couldn't figure out why, so she changed the subject: "Hey, Zhan Zhao, you haven't eaten the zongzi I made, have you? How about I send it to Kaifeng Mansion for you tomorrow? Let everyone have a taste."

"Okay." Zhan Zhao nodded.Afterwards, the two of them remained silent all the way. Although Lin Ruoqing was curious, she could only hold back.

The street is already very deserted, and occasionally there are a few people who come back late, and they are all in a hurry.

At this time, the heat of the day has faded away, and the evening breeze is cool, Zhan Zhao and Lin Ruoqing walked along the Bian River, all the way to a secluded place, where the green grass is covered with weeping willows, and a few fireflies fly by from time to time , very quiet all around.

"You... What did you bring me here for?" Lin Ruoqing lowered her head and asked shyly, this place is really too hidden.

Zhan Zhao smiled, put his arms around her slender waist, and whispered in her ear, "Hold tight."

Before Lin Ruoqing came back to her senses, Zhan Zhao had already taken her up into the sky, she screamed in fright and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hook Zhan Zhao's neck... She closed her eyes at first and didn't dare to look down, and only heard a cry in her ears. Hearing the wind, he looked down boldly, and saw the sparkling Bian River under his feet. He saw Zhan Zhao's toes lightly touching the water surface, and then he jumped up and flew over the top of the tree on the bank. Pausing for a while, Zhan Zhao made another turn and led Lin Ruoqing to twirl a few times in the air before landing firmly on the ground.

Zhan Zhao looked at the person in his arms tenderly, and said softly, "Do you like it?"

Lin Ruoqing hadn't regained her sanity from the thrills just now, Zhan Zhao said softly again: "Although it can't fly as far as the plane in your hometown, Zhan has tried his best." He looked at her again : "Do you like it?"

It turned out that he did this to make herself happy, Lin Ruoqing felt her nose sore and her eyes blurred, she smiled with tears and nodded, "Zhan Zhao, you are so kind to me."

Zhan Zhao hugged her into his arms, rubbed his cheek against her hair, and whispered in her ear: "Zhan just wants to relieve your homesickness."

Lin Ruoqing raised her head to meet his eyes, and said in a soft but clear voice, "Zhan Zhao, from now on, wherever you are is home."

The foreheads of the two touched each other, their eyes met and they smiled, full of happiness filled their hearts.

Find fault

At noon of the second day, Lin Ruoqing specially made some zongzi and sent them to the Kaifeng mansion. She entered the mansion through the door as usual. The concierge of the Kaifeng mansion had already known her and did not stop her. She entered the mansion and went straight to the kitchen Going to see Xiaojuan coming from a distance, Lin Ruoqing greeted her with a smile, Xiaojuan was also happy for her safe return.

"I made some zongzi for everyone to taste. I don't know if Mr. Bao and the others are at the house?" Lin Ruoqing looked a little dodged, she was embarrassed to only ask Zhan Zhao, so she carried Mr. Bao out first.

"Master Bao is discussing matters with Mr. Gongsun in the study at the moment, I will take you there." Xiaojuan replied enthusiastically.

"Okay." Lin Ruoqing nodded in agreement.

Xiaojuan brought Lin Ruoqing to the study, Lin Ruoqing looked around all the way, but couldn't find Zhan Zhao,
