Jinyiwei work report
Chapter 37
One day in advance, Song Yingbai went to the wine shop with money and bought back the "Lotus White" that he ordered. This "Lotus White" is a popular wine at present. Brewed from other medicinal materials, the taste is sweet and lingering, refreshing and pleasant.
No matter which dynasty or generation, the nature of the people to join in the fun and chase fashion remains the same. The lotus whites are sold out as soon as they enter the capital.
For Caifeng’s side, the menu has also been finalized, with four simple dishes and one soup, fried fresh shad, braised meat, crystal goose, double crispy and a sour bamboo shoot soup.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Li Zhen to come.
He asked Fang Jiamo to send his home address to Li Zhen before he was released yesterday, although he believed that he should be able to find it if he didn't tell him.
The next day, when Song Yingbai got up, Caifeng was already sweeping the yard, not even a leaf or a grass stalk was spared. She cleaned it up, prepared breakfast for Song Yingbai, and then went out to buy vegetables with a basket.
Song Yingbai was at home waiting for someone from Li to come to the door, sitting on a chair in the center of the main room, arranging and arranging several plates containing dried fruits and melon seeds boringly.
After waiting for about half an hour, Song Yingbai suddenly thought of something to go to: "Where can I really wait for him at home, I have to go to the entrance of the alley to meet him in person."
One didn't expect it, and almost made a mistake, but fortunately, it was detected early.
Song Yingbai looked at Yao Lingyao who was lying on the porch, "I'll just go out for a while, it shouldn't matter if you stay..." After hesitating for a while, he lightly kicked the dog, "Forget it, just in case, you also Come with me."
Yao Lingyao yawned, and reluctantly followed Song Yingbai out the door.
One person and one dog stood at the entrance of the alley, and it was agreed that Song Yingbai would look to the left, and Yao Lingyao would look to the right.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, there was still no sign of Li Zhen. Song Yingbai thought to himself, could it be that Li Zhen was so honest that he had to wait until the meal time to invite him to dinner?
At this time, Yao Lingyao's ears trembled, he slapped Song Yingbai's boots with his paw, and then raised his chin towards an alley not far away, as if to say that there was something wrong there.
"what happened?"
As soon as the words fell, Yao Lingyao ran over there, Song Yingbai had no choice but to follow, crossed the street, and walked into an alley opposite, and saw a few figures gathered inside, as if a few men were walking Make fun of one person.
These men were wearing bunts, some were pulling up their trousers, and some were pulling up their shoes. At first glance, they looked like low-class bastards on the street.
"You said I touched you? Then tell me, where did I touch you? Here, or here?" A man laughed loudly: "Tell me, where exactly is it?"
"Which troupe are you a little opera troupe? Does your troupe leader know that you are coming out?"
"Hey, what did you buy, which lover are you cooking for? Why don't you tell me where your family lives, and when he's not around, how about I go and accompany you?"
Under the shadow formed by their tall bodies, Cai Feng hugged the vegetable basket tightly, pressed his back against the wall, and said tremblingly: "Let me go, let me go...I..."
"Where are you going, take us back to your house?" A rogue smiled and held out his hand to him.
Cai Feng narrowed his eyes in fear.
And at this moment, suddenly the man received a blow in the lower back, and the whole person hit the wall next to him with a solid ouch, his face was blooming, and nosebleeds flew everywhere.
Caifeng looked at the person, and was so excited that she wanted to cry, "Master——"
Song Yingbai stretched out his hands and counted, "One, two, three..." It was his turn to kick over, and he would lie on the ground covering his nose and cry, "You don't count, and then it's four... that's fine, It’s just the four of you.” After finishing speaking, he rubbed his fists, “Your grandfather and I have been using knives recently, but I rarely use fists, and today just happens to be active.”
"You, you think too much of yourself, we have, five...four people!" This rascal looked like a leader, and he said while rolling up his sleeves: "What's so scary about a rabbit master?" , you have to pay for injuring my brother, it’s expensive to tell you! Brothers, let’s go!"
Caifeng sweated, squatted on the ground in fright, covered her eyes, what can I do, there are four people on the other side anyway.
The sound of falls followed by howls came and went, and when he couldn't hear anything, he quietly opened his eyes, and saw that except for Song Yingbai, everyone else was lying on the ground, covering their faces and legs, in pain. "Brilliant."
Song Yingbai said to Caifeng, "Don't just stay there, let's go." Then he kicked the person lying nearby hard, "I call you cold and violent in the workplace!"
"Hey, grandpa, I can't understand what you said." The person who was kicked was wronged, "Did you recognize the wrong person?"
"Dog, see him walking around in the future, do you hear me? Tell me to watch you guys harassing innocent people on the street, it's not as simple as a few punches now, understand?!" Song Yingbai said, kicking again After kicking this person, "I told you to be moody!" Then he took Caifeng away in a cool and unrestrained manner.
Cai Feng took small steps to follow Song Yingbai's footsteps, "Young Master, are you injured?" Seeing Song Yingbai shaking his head, he asked worriedly, "Does your hand hurt?"
"These alley bastards will form gangs to bully women who are alone, or people like you who seem to be powerless, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!" Song Yingbai said: "Did you say you didn't tell me?" Is it my servant?"
Cai Feng shook her head, "It's not that far..."
"You will be too late at that point. If you encounter this situation again, you will say you are a servant of Jinyiwei Song Baihu's family." Although he is not a high-ranking official, it is enough to scare these helpless people, and he cannot be intimidated by his identity. I'm afraid I can't do the behavior of molesting others in the street.
Cai Feng pursed her lips and nodded sharply, "Yes, young master. Today is really... thank you..."
At this moment, the two of them reached the entrance of their own alley, and Song Yingbai patted Caifeng on the shoulder, "It's easy to thank me, prepare the meal well today."
Caifeng nodded hastily, "Definitely."
"Then you take the dog and hurry back to prepare. I'll wait for the guests here."
Song Yingbai watched Cai Feng and Yao Lingyao enter their courtyard, and continued to stand at the entrance of the alley waiting for someone from Li to drive by.
Huangtian paid off, waiting left and right, as excited as a blind man seeing the first ray of dawn when he regained his sight. He saw Li Zhen riding a tall black horse from the east, and a servant followed him under the horse.
As soon as Li Zhen saw Song Yingbai, she was overjoyed, "Why are you waiting here? Are you afraid I won't find your home?" and dismounted voluntarily.
"No, I'm idle at home, so I'll come out and wait for you, my lord." Song Yingbai smiled and went to get the rein, "I'll lead the horse for you."
"This is a servant's job, how can you do it." Li Zhen said to the servant beside him, "Laiqing, you take care of the horse." Then he walked in front side by side with Song Yingbai.
Song Yingbai suddenly remembered Li Zhen's last words, and couldn't help but look back at the black horse one more time. Li Zhen saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's not it, it's the other horse. It's at home. Someday you come to my house, show you."
Song Yingbai found that Li Zhen seemed to have been restored by the system to the time when he just returned to the capital, and he was easy-going and kind to him, "Whenever you have time to call me, I will go over."
Talking and laughing, the two arrived at the door of Song Yingbai's house. Song Yingbai opened the courtyard door for him and invited him in. Li Zhen came in and saw that the small courtyard was tidy and tidy, and joked, "Isn't it specially cleaned up to welcome me?"
Song Yingbai replied bluntly: "Yes, I cleaned it up several times early in the morning."
After hearing this, Li Zhen felt better again, "Then you really have a heart."
The two walked towards the main house. There was a wooden kennel under the window, and a black spotted dog was lying in it, eyes closed lazily, and did not bark because outsiders came.
Li Zhen was puzzled and said, "This is the dog you bring to the yamen every day? Isn't it the one I've seen before that was stained with black spots, and it doesn't bark when it sees strangers, so why raise it?"
"...my original landlord entrusted me to take care of it, don't worry about it, it's just a dog." Song Yingbai said vaguely, "Let's go in." He took the initiative to close the curtain for him, and he didn't put it down until Li Zhen entered. Curtain, keep up with his pace, "It's a little small, but it's very comfortable to live in, my lord, sit down, sit down."
Li Zhen saw that the table of the Eight Immortals was wiped clean and could reflect people's shadows. He imagined Song Yingbai cleaning the table early in the morning to welcome him, and couldn't help laughing. Just clean it up. I think this house is pretty good, so you can live in it. "
Song Yingbai said: "Indeed, it's not that kind of thing to stay in someone else's house all the time. It's better to have your own place."
Li Zhen nodded in agreement.
At this time Song Yingbai got up and said: "You sit down first, I will prepare tea." After getting permission, he went out and quickly walked to the kitchen, and said to Caifeng who was washing the vegetables: "The guests are here, you can start cooking." Seeing the kettle on the stove, "It's on, I'll take it away."
"It's boiling water, but I'll make tea." Caifeng wanted to grab the kettle.
"No, you just have to cook quickly." Song Yingbai walked out with the kettle in his hand, and said again, "Anyway, hurry up."
Back in the house, he made Li Zhen a cup of tea before it was his turn.
Li Zhen watched him making tea for herself, and remembered the "difficulty" between the two of them on the road before, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart. If Song Yingbai hadn't been there, she might have died, and it's normal for her to get closer to him because of some People don't know the inside story, and they will think that there is something between them if they make wild guesses.
"Recently, Xing Qianhu hasn't made things difficult for you anymore, has it?"
"No, no." Song Yingbai said: "And a few days ago I had a strange bird case on hand and needed clues. He heard about it, and even took the initiative to send someone to the audit department to search for old documents and send them to me. Maybe he wanted to take the initiative to warn good."
"If he really took the initiative to show his favor, you don't need to confront him." Li Zhen said: "As for the strange bird case you mentioned, how is your investigation? If there is really no clue, let it go. I have something here, and I want you to take the lead in doing it."
Song Yingbai knew that those appointed by officials of Li Zhen's level were usually important things, such as the last time the house was ransacked by Ma's family... Of course, Ma Yongyan said otherwise.
"If your lord can trust me, I will fulfill my mission."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, the task this time is much easier. Princess Yongjia will get married tomorrow spring, and the concubine has already been selected. She came to the capital from other provinces recently, and the emperor asked me to send some trustworthy people to protect the concubine before she gets married. I think you are quite suitable, what do you think?"
Most of the son-in-laws in this dynasty came from civilian backgrounds. As long as they are good-looking and have a clean family background, they are eligible to participate in the selection of son-in-laws. Priority is given to the selection in the capital. If the capital cannot be selected, they will be selected from the surrounding provinces. The eunuchs and officials will select three people to lead into the palace. , let the emperor and empress finally select one person, and this person can wait to be the concubine Princess Shang.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, most of the princesses betrothed were children from aristocratic families. Later, with the passage of time, the background of concubines became more and more common. Now it is difficult to choose from among the children of aristocratic families. The answer is very simple. Not being able to be a real-time official, in the eyes of most scholars who want to become a high-ranking official, may only be a little better than being a eunuch in the palace, or maybe not as good.
So I heard that the chosen son-in-law escaped far away. After a long time, the son-in-law will not be able to talk about his background.
But after all, he is the son-in-law of the royal family, and the security work cannot be sloppy, and the most suitable person for this job is the emperor's pro-army—Jin Yiwei.
"This task is quite easy. The son-in-law's family background is clean and he has no enemies. Just make sure that he doesn't have any accidents before he lives in the princess mansion. The most important thing is that if things are done well, if the emperor wants to ask you, he can give you Your Majesty left a good impression."
If you are lucky, Song Yingbai would naturally wish for a wave of goodwill from the emperor, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord."
Li Zhen smiled and lowered her head to drink tea. Thinking of the family banquet, she asked Song Yingbai with a smile, "What shall we have for lunch? You didn't ask me to come to make me hungry, did you?"
Looking at Song Yingbai with great interest, I thought, are you going to cook now?
"It should be ready soon, I told Cai Feng just now."
"Caifeng?" Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, it turned out that Song Yingbai didn't cook in person, but forget it, alas.
"He is a servant sent to me by my father. Although he is virtuous and good at sewing and everything, the best thing is cooking."
Li Zhenguang couldn't tell the gender from the name, but when he heard that he was good at cooking and sewing, he guessed it was a maid.
A thought suddenly popped up in my mind, did your father know that you were close to Cheng Dongyi, so he deliberately sent a maid to serve you instead of a servant?
As soon as this thought came out, I was taken aback for a moment, and said in my heart, what was I thinking, it was all a mess.
At this time, I heard a soft and waxy voice saying outside the door: "Master, I brought the bowls and chopsticks and soup."
Following Song Yingbai's voice: "Come in." Li Zhen saw a young man with red lips and white teeth walking in. His body was slender and fragile, and his demeanor was even more like that of a woman. Immediately, Li Zhen felt as if his heart had been turned upside down, inexplicably hair blockage.
Caifeng saw that the young master's guest was handsome, but the hostility emanating from his gloomy expression was like a hell Shura, and he couldn't help being frightened. Hastily backed out.
Song Yingbai's eyes were on Caifeng all the time, and he didn't notice Li Zhen's strangeness at all. When he further arranged the bowls and chopsticks for Li Zhen, he glanced at him inadvertently, and was really taken aback. His eyes were cold, looking at him like an enemy.
"What, what's the matter, my lord?"
Li Zhen raised her eyes again to look at the arrangement and furnishings in the house, and felt different from before. It was tidied up in a decent way.
With that soft and charming boy from just now, it's no wonder that it's tidy up like a home.
Knowing a son is like a father, Song Yingbai's father sent him a servant who looked like a pet, everything is self-evident.
With your Song Yingbai, the little days are going well.
No, no, you lived in Cheng Dong's family for almost a month, and ended up messing around with the servants in no time, Song Yingbai, are you too frivolous?
Song Yingbai saw that Li Zhen's complexion was like a barometer, and in such a short period of time, it turned from sunny to cloudy, and there was a tendency to turn to thunder.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" He couldn't help asking again,
At this time, Caifeng timidly said outside the door: "Master, the dishes are ready, I, I brought them here." He didn't come in, so Song Yingbai had to get up to pick him up, thinking that he would be afraid of Li Zhen changing his face, let alone It was Caifeng who understood and said: "Leave it to me, you go and rest."
Who knew that Li Zhen heard this, and there was an unknown fire. When Li Zhen served the dishes, he had no appetite at all, "I think I still have business to do." Saying that, he was about to get up.
I don't want Song Yingbai to become more courageous in his desperation, "My lord, you can't leave!"
"Why can't I go?" Li Zhen sneered, what is he doing here, to see him live with that young man named Caifeng? !Listen to what he said to him just now: "Leave it to me, and you go to rest." Is it intimate or disgusting? !
Things changed so quickly that Song Yingbai almost thought that Li Zhen had a dual personality, and would switch to another person whenever he encountered a key word, otherwise it would not be able to explain why he suddenly changed his face from hot to cold.
At this point, you can no longer take the usual path. People are here, how can you let them go? Song Yingbai is willing to fight, "My lord, even if you want me to die, you have to let me know. What did I do wrong? Where did I offend you?" For you, please make it clear!"
"You still have the guts to ask?!" Li Zhenteng stood up, he was already taller than Song Yingbai, but at this moment he looked down at him with an astonishing aura.
Song Yingbai was so scared that his legs almost went limp, but he gritted his teeth and straightened his waist, confronting him, "I wanted to ask a long time ago, I don't know what I did wrong, it's worth making you angry with me for a month It was even more inexplicable just now, it was fine one moment, but it seemed like it wanted to kill me the next moment! If I did something wrong, you can just punish me directly, can you stop torturing people like this?"
"I don't know why? I tortured you?" Li Zhen gritted his teeth, lifted Song Yingbai's skirt with both hands, and dragged him to him, "It's clear that you tortured me!"
"Me?" Song Yingbai couldn't understand what Li Zhen was talking about at all, and asked incredulously: "You're nothing, I'm just a hundred, how could I torture you?!"
Li Zhen was about to explode in anger, and said angrily: "Bastard, this has nothing to do with official positions, because..."
because I like you.
These six words appeared in Li Zhen's mind very clearly, uncontrollably, they just popped out, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost blurted out.
Song Yingbai saw that Li Zhen was immobilized, standing in front of him with his mouth slightly open, and he couldn't help reminding, "Why?"
Li Zhen wakes up like a dream, no, wakes up like a nightmare, pushes Song Yingbai away as if he saw a ghost on him, and takes a few steps back, his brows knit into a ball, telling himself repeatedly, impossible, impossible... …
Song Yingbai really wanted to publish an article "What kind of experience is the boss's sudden mental illness?" He really didn't know what Li Zhen was thinking, so he stood there blankly.
Li Zhen looked Song Yingbai up and down, this, how is this possible, if the delicate Caifeng just now could barely be a woman by pinching his nose, but this Song Yingbai is still a man no matter how handsome he is.
Li Zhen looked at Song Yingbai with "disgust" in his eyes, and shook his head. It's impossible, it must be because he is too tired recently.
Yes, it's very possible. I remember a mission where I didn't close my eyes for several days, and then I was so sleepy that I had auditory hallucinations.
That's right, he's been thinking too much about the Hellwell recently, so much so that his mind is blurred and even confused.
Hurry home and have a good rest!
Song Yingbai saw Li Zhen rubbing his temples and walking out without saying a word. He tried to speak out, "My lord... are you okay?"
Li Zhen ignored him and went straight out.
Song Yingbai hurried to catch up, "My lord, it was my fault that I spoke too aggressively just now, you should stay and have a drink before leaving."
But Li Zhen still ignored him, the fact is that Li Zhen doesn't even want to talk to himself now, wishing to be autistic, strode out of the courtyard gate, got on his horse, and was about to leave.
Song Yingbai hurriedly grabbed the reins, and said anxiously: "My lord, you left like this, what should I do!"
Li Zhen pulled the rein, snorted heavily, and galloped out of the alley.
"Master—wait a minute!" Lai Qing followed and chased after him.
At this time Song Yingbai was physically and mentally exhausted, his eyes were empty, and he only had one thought, Li Zhen, you are really crazy!
When he was on the street, afraid of bumping into pedestrians, Li Zhen reined in and slowed down. At this moment, he heard a few men passing by say: "This fist is too powerful, it hurts me to death, what is that boy?" Identity? With a black pip dog, he won't take a breather when he beats the four of us. With such good physical strength, his pedophile is blessed."
Li Zhen remembered the dust on Song Yingbai's body when he saw Song Yingbai just now, and that's how it came from. He just felt that his internal organs were disturbed by these few words, his heart was cold and sore, and his lips trembled in anger.
He didn't know how he got home, and walked towards his yard in a daze with a dark face.
On the way, he met his grandfather who was tending flowers and plants with the housekeeper. Seeing him come back, the old man looked up at the sun to judge the time, and muttered to the housekeeper, "I heard that in order to visit a friend's house in the morning, even the saddle is worn." Changed to a new one, and came back so soon, it seems that this friend failed to make friends."
The butler didn't dare to offend anyone, so he apologized with embarrassment.
Normally, Li Zhen would have given his grandfather a dissatisfied look, but today he brushed past them without any reaction.
The old man grinned slightly, it seemed that he had really failed...
No matter which dynasty or generation, the nature of the people to join in the fun and chase fashion remains the same. The lotus whites are sold out as soon as they enter the capital.
For Caifeng’s side, the menu has also been finalized, with four simple dishes and one soup, fried fresh shad, braised meat, crystal goose, double crispy and a sour bamboo shoot soup.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Li Zhen to come.
He asked Fang Jiamo to send his home address to Li Zhen before he was released yesterday, although he believed that he should be able to find it if he didn't tell him.
The next day, when Song Yingbai got up, Caifeng was already sweeping the yard, not even a leaf or a grass stalk was spared. She cleaned it up, prepared breakfast for Song Yingbai, and then went out to buy vegetables with a basket.
Song Yingbai was at home waiting for someone from Li to come to the door, sitting on a chair in the center of the main room, arranging and arranging several plates containing dried fruits and melon seeds boringly.

Yao Lingyao yawned, and reluctantly followed Song Yingbai out the door.

"Where are you going, take us back to your house?" A rogue smiled and held out his hand to him.
Cai Feng narrowed his eyes in fear.
And at this moment, suddenly the man received a blow in the lower back, and the whole person hit the wall next to him with a solid ouch, his face was blooming, and nosebleeds flew everywhere.

Cai Feng shook her head, "It's not that far..."
"You will be too late at that point. If you encounter this situation again, you will say you are a servant of Jinyiwei Song Baihu's family."

"This is a servant's job, how can you do it." Li Zhen said to the servant beside him, "Laiqing, you take care of the horse." Then he walked in front side by side with Song Yingbai.
Song Yingbai suddenly remembered Li Zhen's last words, and couldn't help but look back at the black horse one more time. Li Zhen saw what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's not it, it's the other horse. It's at home. Someday you come to my house, show you."

"It's boiling water, but I'll make tea." Caifeng wanted to grab the kettle.
"No, you just have to cook quickly." Song Yingbai walked out with the kettle in his hand, and said again, "Anyway, hurry up."
Back in the house, he made Li Zhen a cup of tea before it was his turn.
Li Zhen watched him making tea for herself, and remembered the "difficulty" between the two of them on the road before, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional in her heart. If Song Yingbai hadn't been there, she might have died, and it's normal for her to get closer to him because of some People don't know the inside story, and they will think that there is something between them if they make wild guesses.
"Recently, Xing Qianhu hasn't made things difficult for you anymore, has it?"
"No, no." Song Yingbai said: "And a few days ago I had a strange bird case on hand and needed clues. He heard about it, and even took the initiative to send someone to the audit department to search for old documents and send them to me. Maybe he wanted to take the initiative to warn good."
"If he really took the initiative to show his favor, you don't need to confront him." Li Zhen said: "As for the strange bird case you mentioned, how is your investigation? If there is really no clue, let it go. I have something here, and I want you to take the lead in doing it."
Song Yingbai knew that those appointed by officials of Li Zhen's level were usually important things, such as the last time the house was ransacked by Ma's family... Of course, Ma Yongyan said otherwise.
"If your lord can trust me, I will fulfill my mission."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Don't worry, the task this time is much easier. Princess Yongjia will get married tomorrow spring, and the concubine has already been selected. She came to the capital from other provinces recently, and the emperor asked me to send some trustworthy people to protect the concubine before she gets married. I think you are quite suitable, what do you think?"
Most of the son-in-laws in this dynasty came from civilian backgrounds. As long as they are good-looking and have a clean family background, they are eligible to participate in the selection of son-in-laws. Priority is given to the selection in the capital. If the capital cannot be selected, they will be selected from the surrounding provinces. The eunuchs and officials will select three people to lead into the palace. , let the emperor and empress finally select one person, and this person can wait to be the concubine Princess Shang.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, most of the princesses betrothed were children from aristocratic families. Later, with the passage of time, the background of concubines became more and more common. Now it is difficult to choose from among the children of aristocratic families. The answer is very simple. Not being able to be a real-time official, in the eyes of most scholars who want to become a high-ranking official, may only be a little better than being a eunuch in the palace, or maybe not as good.
So I heard that the chosen son-in-law escaped far away. After a long time, the son-in-law will not be able to talk about his background.
But after all, he is the son-in-law of the royal family, and the security work cannot be sloppy, and the most suitable person for this job is the emperor's pro-army—Jin Yiwei.
"This task is quite easy. The son-in-law's family background is clean and he has no enemies. Just make sure that he doesn't have any accidents before he lives in the princess mansion. The most important thing is that if things are done well, if the emperor wants to ask you, he can give you Your Majesty left a good impression."
If you are lucky, Song Yingbai would naturally wish for a wave of goodwill from the emperor, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord."
Li Zhen smiled and lowered her head to drink tea. Thinking of the family banquet, she asked Song Yingbai with a smile, "What shall we have for lunch? You didn't ask me to come to make me hungry, did you?"
Looking at Song Yingbai with great interest, I thought, are you going to cook now?
"It should be ready soon, I told Cai Feng just now."
"Caifeng?" Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, it turned out that Song Yingbai didn't cook in person, but forget it, alas.
"He is a servant sent to me by my father. Although he is virtuous and good at sewing and everything, the best thing is cooking."
Li Zhenguang couldn't tell the gender from the name, but when he heard that he was good at cooking and sewing, he guessed it was a maid.
A thought suddenly popped up in my mind, did your father know that you were close to Cheng Dongyi, so he deliberately sent a maid to serve you instead of a servant?
As soon as this thought came out, I was taken aback for a moment, and said in my heart, what was I thinking, it was all a mess.
At this time, I heard a soft and waxy voice saying outside the door: "Master, I brought the bowls and chopsticks and soup."
Following Song Yingbai's voice: "Come in." Li Zhen saw a young man with red lips and white teeth walking in. His body was slender and fragile, and his demeanor was even more like that of a woman. Immediately, Li Zhen felt as if his heart had been turned upside down, inexplicably hair blockage.
Caifeng saw that the young master's guest was handsome, but the hostility emanating from his gloomy expression was like a hell Shura, and he couldn't help being frightened. Hastily backed out.
Song Yingbai's eyes were on Caifeng all the time, and he didn't notice Li Zhen's strangeness at all. When he further arranged the bowls and chopsticks for Li Zhen, he glanced at him inadvertently, and was really taken aback. His eyes were cold, looking at him like an enemy.
"What, what's the matter, my lord?"
Li Zhen raised her eyes again to look at the arrangement and furnishings in the house, and felt different from before. It was tidied up in a decent way.
With that soft and charming boy from just now, it's no wonder that it's tidy up like a home.
Knowing a son is like a father, Song Yingbai's father sent him a servant who looked like a pet, everything is self-evident.
With your Song Yingbai, the little days are going well.
No, no, you lived in Cheng Dong's family for almost a month, and ended up messing around with the servants in no time, Song Yingbai, are you too frivolous?
Song Yingbai saw that Li Zhen's complexion was like a barometer, and in such a short period of time, it turned from sunny to cloudy, and there was a tendency to turn to thunder.
"My lord, what's wrong with you?" He couldn't help asking again,
At this time, Caifeng timidly said outside the door: "Master, the dishes are ready, I, I brought them here." He didn't come in, so Song Yingbai had to get up to pick him up, thinking that he would be afraid of Li Zhen changing his face, let alone It was Caifeng who understood and said: "Leave it to me, you go and rest."
Who knew that Li Zhen heard this, and there was an unknown fire. When Li Zhen served the dishes, he had no appetite at all, "I think I still have business to do." Saying that, he was about to get up.
I don't want Song Yingbai to become more courageous in his desperation, "My lord, you can't leave!"
"Why can't I go?" Li Zhen sneered, what is he doing here, to see him live with that young man named Caifeng? !Listen to what he said to him just now: "Leave it to me, and you go to rest." Is it intimate or disgusting? !
Things changed so quickly that Song Yingbai almost thought that Li Zhen had a dual personality, and would switch to another person whenever he encountered a key word, otherwise it would not be able to explain why he suddenly changed his face from hot to cold.
At this point, you can no longer take the usual path. People are here, how can you let them go? Song Yingbai is willing to fight, "My lord, even if you want me to die, you have to let me know. What did I do wrong? Where did I offend you?" For you, please make it clear!"
"You still have the guts to ask?!" Li Zhenteng stood up, he was already taller than Song Yingbai, but at this moment he looked down at him with an astonishing aura.
Song Yingbai was so scared that his legs almost went limp, but he gritted his teeth and straightened his waist, confronting him, "I wanted to ask a long time ago, I don't know what I did wrong, it's worth making you angry with me for a month It was even more inexplicable just now, it was fine one moment, but it seemed like it wanted to kill me the next moment! If I did something wrong, you can just punish me directly, can you stop torturing people like this?"
"I don't know why? I tortured you?" Li Zhen gritted his teeth, lifted Song Yingbai's skirt with both hands, and dragged him to him, "It's clear that you tortured me!"
"Me?" Song Yingbai couldn't understand what Li Zhen was talking about at all, and asked incredulously: "You're nothing, I'm just a hundred, how could I torture you?!"
Li Zhen was about to explode in anger, and said angrily: "Bastard, this has nothing to do with official positions, because..."
because I like you.
These six words appeared in Li Zhen's mind very clearly, uncontrollably, they just popped out, if he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have almost blurted out.
Song Yingbai saw that Li Zhen was immobilized, standing in front of him with his mouth slightly open, and he couldn't help reminding, "Why?"
Li Zhen wakes up like a dream, no, wakes up like a nightmare, pushes Song Yingbai away as if he saw a ghost on him, and takes a few steps back, his brows knit into a ball, telling himself repeatedly, impossible, impossible... …
Song Yingbai really wanted to publish an article "What kind of experience is the boss's sudden mental illness?" He really didn't know what Li Zhen was thinking, so he stood there blankly.
Li Zhen looked Song Yingbai up and down, this, how is this possible, if the delicate Caifeng just now could barely be a woman by pinching his nose, but this Song Yingbai is still a man no matter how handsome he is.
Li Zhen looked at Song Yingbai with "disgust" in his eyes, and shook his head. It's impossible, it must be because he is too tired recently.
Yes, it's very possible. I remember a mission where I didn't close my eyes for several days, and then I was so sleepy that I had auditory hallucinations.
That's right, he's been thinking too much about the Hellwell recently, so much so that his mind is blurred and even confused.
Hurry home and have a good rest!
Song Yingbai saw Li Zhen rubbing his temples and walking out without saying a word. He tried to speak out, "My lord... are you okay?"
Li Zhen ignored him and went straight out.
Song Yingbai hurried to catch up, "My lord, it was my fault that I spoke too aggressively just now, you should stay and have a drink before leaving."
But Li Zhen still ignored him, the fact is that Li Zhen doesn't even want to talk to himself now, wishing to be autistic, strode out of the courtyard gate, got on his horse, and was about to leave.
Song Yingbai hurriedly grabbed the reins, and said anxiously: "My lord, you left like this, what should I do!"
Li Zhen pulled the rein, snorted heavily, and galloped out of the alley.
"Master—wait a minute!" Lai Qing followed and chased after him.
At this time Song Yingbai was physically and mentally exhausted, his eyes were empty, and he only had one thought, Li Zhen, you are really crazy!
When he was on the street, afraid of bumping into pedestrians, Li Zhen reined in and slowed down. At this moment, he heard a few men passing by say: "This fist is too powerful, it hurts me to death, what is that boy?" Identity? With a black pip dog, he won't take a breather when he beats the four of us. With such good physical strength, his pedophile is blessed."
Li Zhen remembered the dust on Song Yingbai's body when he saw Song Yingbai just now, and that's how it came from. He just felt that his internal organs were disturbed by these few words, his heart was cold and sore, and his lips trembled in anger.
He didn't know how he got home, and walked towards his yard in a daze with a dark face.
On the way, he met his grandfather who was tending flowers and plants with the housekeeper. Seeing him come back, the old man looked up at the sun to judge the time, and muttered to the housekeeper, "I heard that in order to visit a friend's house in the morning, even the saddle is worn." Changed to a new one, and came back so soon, it seems that this friend failed to make friends."
The butler didn't dare to offend anyone, so he apologized with embarrassment.
Normally, Li Zhen would have given his grandfather a dissatisfied look, but today he brushed past them without any reaction.
The old man grinned slightly, it seemed that he had really failed...
