The guards of crossing, please serve

It was very quiet outside.

Occasionally someone brought something over, and the door was opened and closed on tiptoe, for fear of making the slightest noise.

"Such a simple account can be miscalculated!" Suddenly, there was a loud roar in the study, and everyone within a mile radius trembled, and the bird resting on the book also flew away up.

In the study, Ran Degao sat at the desk, looking at the account book in his hand, the pimple between his brows became deeper and deeper.On the other side of the desk, stood a man with his head bowed and his back bent. He held his breath and didn't even dare to breathe. He could only sigh in his heart that he was unlucky.

What happened to the butler today?Although he is strict with accounts, he never yells at anyone other than Wu Guanjia!

After dismissing the person who came to deliver the account book, Ran Degao heaved a long sigh, picked up the cup and wanted to drink some tea, but found that the cup was already empty.

Sigh, the time is bad and the time is not dying... Nothing goes well these two days!Ran Degao put down the cup discouragedly and leaned back on the back of the chair.He happened to see a painting hanging on the wall in front of him. In the painting, Ran Mingyuan and Ran Xiaoguai stood in the middle, and Ran Wangzhong and himself stood on both sides, one on the left and one on the right. The four of them had smiles on their faces—it was Two years ago, he painted the family portrait of the palace.

Seeing this painting in the past always made him feel safe and warm in his heart, but looking at it today, he felt that Ran Wang in the painting was very respectful and his smile was particularly hateful.

Yes, very, very hateful!

Ran Degao couldn't help thinking that this morning, as soon as he stepped into Ran Wangzhong's yard, he saw two naked men hugging each other, who were clearly Ran Wangzhong and his new apprentice.

Although Ran Wangzhong said repeatedly that he was only teaching his apprentice Kung Fu, Ran Degao didn't believe it.Hmph, you don't need to hug each other when you teach Kung Fu, it's probably because Ran Wang sees his handsome parents again, so he has a wrong idea, so let's take the opportunity to take advantage of others!

The more Ran Degao thought about it, the worse his mood became. In the end, he didn't know why he went crazy. He left a room full of unchecked account books and ran out to find the weaver.

"You can't go on like this, Xiao Qingqing," Ran Mingyuan lay on the imperial concubine's couch in the yard, basking in the sun, eating sweet walnut cheese, and said a few words to Shen Qing intermittently: "Little boy said that Degao didn't know where to go." Where can I get a bunch of needles, thread and cotton cloth, and I want to make a doll that is respected and pricked with needles to relieve hatred. I think if I don’t help them reconcile, Degao will go crazy sooner or later.”

Shen Qing lowered his head and carefully picked the vegetables: "Then, the prince thinks, how did Steward Wen become like this?"

Ran Mingyuan narrowed his eyes, and smiled a little strangely: "I think De Gao is just jealous. Seeing that Wang Zhong is so kind to that flower picker, he feels uncomfortable. Let's just find a way to match up." Hit them."

Shen Qing held back his smile, and said: "That man is not a flower picker, he has a name, his name is Mu Hua."

Ran Mingyuan waved his hand: "Don't worry about that, Xiao Qingqing, I have already set the general direction, and I will leave it to you to think about the specific methods."

Shen Qing shook his head helplessly, alas, he knew that in the end, the matter must be in his hands.For Ran Mingyuan's trust, he really couldn't laugh or cry.

After thinking hard for a few quarters of an hour, Shen Qing suddenly remembered the TV dating show he had watched before, and the male and female guests quickly became familiar with each other during the game session.That being the case, why not find something to do together that requires both hands and brains. Ran Degao and Ran Wangzhong have one literary and one martial arts. Maybe they will catch up with each other when they are partners.

So the next day, under Shen Qing's suggestion, Ran Xiaoguai went out and successfully brought both Ran Degao and Ran Wangzhong to Ran Mingyuan's yard.

Looking at the two people with confused expressions and keeping a distance of several feet, Shen Qing said with a polite smile: "Today, I specially invite you two to brew plum wine with me."

brewing?Ran Degao gave Ran Wangzhong a sideways glance, and said first: "I'm not interested, you guys play by yourself, I still have a lot of things to do!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Ran Xiaoguai hurriedly grabbed his sleeve and called "Daddy" pitifully.

Hearing this call, Ran Degao's heart immediately softened into a mess.

"Daddy hasn't played with Xiaoguai for several days, and he's always kept a straight face, fierce." Ran Xiaoguai muttered softly, coupled with a timid expression, Ran Degao immediately turned around, Swear and swear never to leave.

"And Uncle Wangwang, too. Every time Xiaoguai looks for you, you are very busy." Ran Xiaoguai took Ran Wangzhong's sleeve with the other hand, and the latter took a look at Xiaoguai's eyes, and agreed to stay with him. darling.

Shen Qing secretly gave Xiaoguai a thumbs up: Ran Xiaoguai, you really are the weakness of the two housekeepers!With you here, more than half of the success has been achieved!

"Wine making sounds mysterious, but it's actually not difficult. I've washed and soaked the glutinous rice to be used, and it's steaming on the stove now. It's just that what we're going to brew today is plum wine, so I'm going to trouble you guys to pick some plum petals. .”

"What's so difficult about it?" Ran Wangzhong pointed to the plum tree in the yard, "I'll shake the ground for you right now."

Shen Qing shook his head: "In order to ensure that the brewed wine is the clearest, the plum blossoms that fell on the ground cannot be used. In addition, the prince said that although the petals need to be collected, the scenery in the courtyard must not be spoiled, otherwise it will The monthly salary of the two will be deducted. Therefore, you need to think twice about how to pick petals, how many petals to pick for each tree, and which petals to pick."

"Damn Ge, thank you for thinking of these tricks to tease people." Ran Wangzhong curled his lips, thinking it was very troublesome.

"It doesn't matter if you don't participate, as long as I stay with Xiaoguai." Ran Degao said coldly.

"When did I say that I would not participate? If it weren't for me, you would be a short child or a weak scholar. It would be strange if you could get it!" Ran Wangzhong put his hands on his hips, as if he was about to quarrel with Ran Degao again.

Shen Qing raised his forehead, and some doubts emerged in his heart: Will the relationship between these two people really reconcile instead of getting worse?

Standing under a plum tree, Ran Xiaoguai was holding a small flower basket, smiling happily.

On the left and right sides of him, the faces of Ran Degao and Ran Wangzhong were all gloomy.

Ran Xiaoguai raised her head and asked, "Daddy, Uncle Wangwang, what are we going to do?"

After waiting for a while, no one spoke, let alone acted.

Ran Xiaoguai pursed her lips, ran away from the two of them, went around to the other side of the tree, raised her hand and jumped twice on the spot, trying to pick petals from the shorter branches.

He hopped many times before he touched a petal, but it was not pinched, and the petal floated from his eyes to the ground.

Ran Xiaoguai pursed her lips, the smile on her face had long since disappeared, replaced by a look of grievance.

Seeing this, Ran Degao and Ran Wangzhong looked at each other and walked over together.Ran Degao wiped the little boy's sweat, and said softly, "You just need to hold the flower basket, and Daddy and Uncle Wangwang will come to pick it."

Ran Xiaoguai nodded seriously, her expression softened a little.

Ran Degao patted his head, looked up at the crown of the tree for a while, pointed in one direction and said: "If you want the petals there, you will get [-]%."

Ran Wangzhong also looked up, then jumped up quickly, and passed the place pointed by Ran Degao. After that, a plum blossom rain fell from the tree, and Ran Xiaoguai stood under the tree to catch most of it, holding the basket in surprise Show it to Ran Degao.

"Well, not bad." Ran Degao said obediently to Ran Xiao, then he raised his head to look at Ran Degao: "Your movements are too big, one inch more, and in addition, you have to subtract half a point from your strength.

For the first time, Ran Wang didn't argue with him, just nodded and said: "Okay, I understand."

Just like that, Ran Degao pointed to the place, Ran Wang exerted his strength again, and Ran Xiaoguai picked up the petals below.A basket is filled quickly.

What is even more amazing is that there is no bare plum tree, and the blooming scene of plum blossoms is no different from before.

By the time they finished picking the plum blossoms, the glutinous rice had already been steamed and cooled.Shen Qing found Daqu and handed it to them to crush, while he cleaned the plum petals himself.Finally, he put the petals into the glutinous rice, and then put in the finely pounded Daqu. Everyone worked hard to mix it a few times until the rice and the ingredients were evenly blended together.

Shen Qing closed the lid and said, "Okay, let it sit in the vat for a day, and add cold boiled water to ferment it tomorrow. After ten days, boil the filtered wine and drink it."

"Really? That's great!" Ran Xiaoguai's face was full of anticipation: "Daddy, can I drink a little too, just a little."

"Okay, I can only drink a little." Ran Degao hadn't communicated with Xiaoguai for a few days, and seeing his son so happy at this moment, he felt very comforted.He pinched Xiaoguai's tender face, then looked at Ran Wangzhong, and after a long time squeezed out two words: "Thank you."

In the setting sun, Ran Degao's face was exceptionally gentle. Ran Wangzhong stared at it for a while, then turned his head awkwardly: "I'm not for you, I'm for Xiaoguai... Also, I'm really not a pervert, I teach Mu Hua's is close-body grappling, but he doesn't seem to be interested in this, so I might as well teach him something else. From now on, I will only teach him two hours a day, and the rest of the time, I will accompany Xiaoguai... and deal with the palace. Things... these days I only focus on teaching kung fu, and things in the house, please trouble you."

Ran Degao was taken aback when he heard that, Ran Wang was usually very seldom able to say such a long speech, and there was a bit of restraint in his tone... He suddenly burst out laughing, revealing a row of shallow silver teeth: "Well, Um."

Ran Wangzhong patted his head and laughed too.

In order to commend the hard work of the few people, Shen Qing specially cooked a big meal for dinner, and served it with the sweet-scented osmanthus wine he brewed in autumn.

Although the wine is not brewed by himself, Ran
