For whom do you linger [The Loyal Dog Guard Shou]

Luo Zheng knew that Lu Yan was definitely not the old man that the owner said, but after that day, He Lianqing never mentioned that he was going to meet anyone, but instead rented a painting boat and traveled around the lake every day.

Ranyang Lake is huge, with the Huaishan Nanling stretching to the north and the broken wall to the east, it looks like the mountain in the east has been cut off, and if you look up, you will see the mountain top shrouded in clouds.When there is fog in the early morning, it is so hazy that people have the illusion that they can't see the edge at a glance.

The street near the lake can be regarded as the most prosperous area in Huaiyang City, with restaurants and teahouses everywhere. In the past few days, Luo Zheng followed He Lianqing and almost ate all the signature dishes of all the restaurants on the street.

After breakfast every day, the two of them strolled all the way to the painting boat by the lake, then rewarded the boatman who guarded the boat at night, and boarded the boat for a tour of the lake.Usually the boatman rowed the boat to the center of the lake and left in a small boat. He Lianqing would float on the lake by the boat. When night fell, the boatman would row the boat again and bring the boat back to the shore.

The painting boat rented is not too big, it only has one floor, divided into two rooms, the boat hall and the study hall, but there is no kitchen.The center of the lake is quite far away from the shore, and there are many cruise ships on the lake, it would be too eye-catching for Shi Qinggong to go back to the shore to get food, and in summer, the food should not be stored for a long time, so it is not easy to store it in a food box.In this case, lunch becomes a problem.

He Lianqing didn't pay much attention to it, he wanted to take dry food and settle down, just like when he was on the road before, not to mention that it might not be a big deal if he didn't eat a meal.

It's just that he didn't know that this "grievance" Luo Zheng definitely couldn't let him suffer.

So, at breakfast on the first day, Luo Zheng made all the arrangements.Taking advantage of the short time when Helian Qing was drinking tea and resting, he ordered lunch and asked the waiter in the hotel to deliver the food to the boat in the middle of the lake at noon.

Therefore, when He Lianqing watched his secret guard put plates of exquisite dishes on the table, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for his thoughtfulness.

"When did you prepare it?" There was actually a small jar of aperitif in crushed ice, He Lianqing raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

Crushed ice is rare in summer, and such exquisite wines are not only available with money.

"Early morning." Picking up the wine jar and filling the small porcelain cup, Luo Zheng said again, "This is the store's homemade fruit wine. I heard that it appetizes and relieves the summer heat. The owner should try it." He said it lightly, as if drinking it in the summer It is a normal thing to have a jar of iced fruit wine.

It was only later that He Lianqing found out that the small jar of aperitif wine was brewed by the restaurant itself, and the crushed ice for the wine was transported from the extreme north with tiger head carvings from the Western Regions.There are three altars offered daily, and only seven days in summer each year.A lot of people prepared to book wine for the coming year in the first summer, and they don't know how this man of few words can buy it.

Anyway, after that day, for seven consecutive days, Helian used that iced fruit wine for lunch to cool off the heat.

Being a master is in a happy mood every day, and a subordinate should follow suit easily, but why is Luo Zheng not so lucky?

He Lianqing looked helplessly at the person who was also helpless but didn't dare to show it, and said again: "Eat."

"Thank you, Master, I'm not hungry." Originally, he was just standing by the side to serve He Lianqing's meal, but unexpectedly the man asked him to sit down and eat together.

This...not to mention not hungry, even if he was hungry, even if there was a table of delicious food in front of him, Luo Zheng would have no appetite at all.It was unbecoming to sit in front of the owner of the villa, and it was even more unseemly to eat at the same table, but he had to listen to the owner's words, so Luo Zheng wanted to sigh in embarrassment.

The daily meals are equally exquisite but there is never a repeated dish. He Lianqing can see how much effort the hidden guard has put into it. Although it is not a great thing, it can be said to be the duty of a servant.But He Lianqing felt very satisfied when he saw it in his eyes. There must be rules, but people who are used to masters are also used to acting according to their own desires. For example, right now, he just wants the honest guard to sit down and follow him. He eats a meal.

It's not that He Lianqing doesn't know that sitting here will make the people in front of him uncomfortable, but he doesn't want to be the master who makes his subordinates hungry or eat leftovers.

So, regardless of Luo Zheng's perplexed face, he said again: "Sit down and taste if you're not hungry, aren't all the dishes you ordered?"

"sit down."

"Yes." No matter what, he couldn't let that person repeat this sentence, Luo Zheng was afraid that if he hesitated any longer, he would ruin the owner's good mood.So he picked up the chopsticks, and after the man started eating, he simply ate with the two dishes in front of him.

As for the taste... I don't know at all, that's probably the reason why I don't know the taste...

It's not like what Luo Zheng thought in his heart, his master with a slightly gloomy complexion didn't affect his mood at all, but he found his embarrassment and helplessness very interesting, it's just that he has to gradually understand the master's stubborn personality in the future.

He Lianqing glanced at the person who was eating quietly, he was respectful and eating well... So he pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and stopped embarrassing others.

Although the meal was awkward and tasteless, fortunately it didn't last long.But Luo Zheng never expected that from that day on, he would even be called to eat breakfast together.

Except that it is still difficult to get used to sitting at the same table with the master at mealtimes, daily trips to the lake to enjoy the scenery can be regarded as a good job.But for a hidden guard who is used to dealing with danger and killing... this extremely idle job, after a long time, it will be no different from torture.

The scenery of Ranyang Lake is indeed one of the best in the city, you can know it just by looking at the boats and boats that fill the lake.

No wonder there are so many people visiting the lake. If the weather changes, the scenery and vision will change accordingly. Even the sunset and moonrise are set off in a picturesque way with different styles.It's just that no matter how beautiful the lake and mountains are, they can't stand to watch them every day. For the first two days, He Lianqing really stood at the bow of the boat to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the wind. Take a nap and rest on the couch.

Although He Lianqing didn't say what the purpose of this move was, it was obviously not for the purpose of swimming in the lake and enjoying the scenery.Naturally, Luo Zheng wasn't so stupid that he couldn't see that the villa owner was waiting for someone, but he couldn't figure out why he was waiting for someone on the lake, and for several days, no one came to see him.The owner of the villa never showed any signs of impatience. He just boarded the boat on time every day and returned to the inn to rest at dusk.

until the eighth day.

In the early morning, the sun was warm, and Helian stood on the bow deck with his hands behind his back, and the slight morning breeze made his clothes flutter.I don't know if it's because Fairy Yanmei loves to wear white clothes, but since he was a child, he prefers light-colored clothes, and the inner lining of his outer robes are all light and elegant, handsome and elegant.

The people on the cruise ship in the distance only knew that it was the modest son of some family, who was quiet and elegant.

Only Luo Zheng knew how elusive, even scary, that seemingly gentle and gentle person was.But even if he is sometimes moody, gloomy and cold, he treats himself very well.

Different from the kind of gratitude ten years ago, Luo Zheng really felt that everything he did for this person was worthwhile.

Looking back at the person whose eyes had never left him, He Lianqing didn't investigate, but only motioned for the person to come to him.

Raising his finger to a viewing bridge on the shore, his tone was light: "Did you see it?"

On the bridge there is a little boy in a navy blue gown...the reason why he is called a boy is because he is not tall...

Not knowing what the owner meant, Luo Zheng could only nod in agreement.

With a snort, Helian jumped off the deck and ordered: "Dock."

When Luo Zheng rowed the boat to the shore, the boy had already got off the bridge and was waiting aside.

It was only when he got closer that he realized that it was a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, with two buns in his arms and eight trigram patterns embroidered on his belt.

He Lianqing didn't say a word, just heard the boy say——

"The young master is well. The younger one is called Guimao. Master asked the younger one to pick up the young master and go to the Dufeng Pavilion for a talk."
