After the lady died, the general slaughtered the city

Jiu Bao released Yan Xiucheng's hands that were clasped in front of him.Put the brocade box containing the firework shells in the burden.

He carried his luggage and left without looking back.

Yan Xiuyu held his younger brother with some disgust as if his soul had been taken away.

Where is crying like a man.

Yan Xiucheng suddenly pushed him away, hiding in the crowd and followed Jiu Bao not far away.

There was a lot of noise in the city, but Jiu Bao didn't notice it at all.Until I went to the official road outside the city, there were not many people on the road, and there was no sound of insects in winter, the footsteps of that person were very clear, Jiu Bao was too familiar with it.

He stopped, and Yan Xiucheng also stopped.

In Yan Xiucheng's eyes, it seemed as long as more than ten years, and Jiubao finally turned around.

He excitedly ran forward and held Jiubao's hand, "Baby, you're not leaving, right? Brother Ah Cheng will take you back!"

Jiu Bao pulled out his hand, blinked his eyes a few times to suppress his tears, and said with difficulty: "General Yan, don't send it off,"

"Why are you so stubborn?" Yan Xiucheng's tears rolled down from his red and swollen eyes, "I...you must take care of yourself, I feel better when you are happy."

"Ah."

Jiu Bao turned around in panic and ran for a few steps, until he was out of sight of Yan Xiucheng before kneeling down in the mud.

Wiping his cheek with his hand, he found that he had already burst into tears.

I don't want to suppress my emotions anymore and start crying.

"I don't want to remember, I want to be with you, son, why did you treat me like that before, you clearly love me the most, uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

And Yan Xiucheng, who he thought was frustrated and went back, hid behind a big tree and looked at him with distressed eyes.

How much he wanted to go up and hug the helpless person to support him and give him stability, but now was not the time, not only would Jiu Bao not feel at ease seeing him, but it would be even more painful.

Jiu Bao cried until his eyes became dry and sore even to blink, so he got up and hurried on his way.

During the period, I took a passing carriage, and the pipe was so quiet that there were only the sound of horseshoes and wheels.

Several people in the company were silent when they saw him and did not intend to strike up a conversation with him.

Jiu Bao had planned the place to go early in the morning. In his previous life, Bianzhou was in the west. Although he was familiar with it, he was arrested there, and it was really not a safe place.He chose to go east, Master Xiang's hometown is in Fuzhou, before leaving, he wrote a letter of recommendation to Jiu Bao.

It is written to the master chef of the most famous Zhenweizhai in Fuzhou.

"He is my senior brother. You are quite talented in this area. He will accept you after seeing this letter."

Jiu Bao took out the letter and rubbed it repeatedly, maybe he will be in Fuzhou for the rest of his life.

After driving for ten days, Jiubao finally entered Fuzhou City, which is not as prosperous as the capital but is also very lively.

Zhen Wei Zhai is very easy to find, right in the middle of the market, the shop is very big, and you can smell the sweet pastries before you even walk in.

Jiubao, who had eaten dry food for ten days or so, swallowed his saliva, and his stomach also growled loudly.

He walked into Zhenweizhai with a blushing face, and Xiao Er warmly greeted him, "What do you need objectively, steamed sugar and crispy cheese, wishful cakes, auspicious fruits, golden silk sparrow... as long as you can name our Zhenweizhai Both."

Jiu Bao shook his head hastily, "I'm here to find someone, I'm looking for Master Lu."

Xiaoer paused for a moment and went to the back to invite the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was a lean middle-aged man, and he looked at Jiubao quickly.

Seeing that he was an honest boy, he smiled, "Dare to ask me what is the matter with Master Lu?"

Jiu Bao took out the envelope from the bag, "I want to ask Master Lu to accept me as an apprentice, this is the letter of recommendation from my master."

The shopkeeper became interested, took the envelope and recognized it was written by Master Liu just by looking at the handwriting on the face.

He didn't open it, but returned the letter to Jiu Bao and took him to the back kitchen.

"Your master is interested. If you know that I lack talents here, send them to me."

"You know my master?"

"I'm in the same line as him and old Lu, and I'm still a senior brother."

Zhenwei Zhai has opened a large store, so there is naturally a shortage of people, especially those with outstanding craftsmanship.The shopkeeper saw that it was recommended by the younger brother, so he accepted it without even trying.

"Is your master okay?"

"pretty good,"

A little granddaughter was added to the family, and the master smiled more than usual.It's a pity that I have to leave after a few days of study.

There was no one in the back kitchen, and Master Lu was lying on a rattan chair in the backyard with a small teapot, humming a little song.

Master Lu was not very tall, with a white and chubby face looking very festive.

"Old Lu, the younger brother sent an apprentice over."

Master Lu opened his peasy eyes and sat up slowly, "It's still my younger brother who loves me, I can't see you oppressing me."

The shopkeeper would have brought him up and scolded him if he hadn't seen him as his younger brother, and said that I was oppressing you for being lazy in the backyard, what a face.

Jiu Bao stood on the edge of the wicker chair somewhat cautiously, the master said that Master Lu would accept him, but he had only been studying for a few days, what if Master Lu didn't recognize him.

Master Lu is a very easy-going person, he looked at Jiubao with a smile after reading the letter.The boy who looked comfortable was as old as his own son.

In the letter, the younger brother confessed that he must treat him well, he is a human being, he can probably guess that he had some conflicts with his family in the capital, and there will always be a day when he will go back. A few days ago, the younger brother wrote in a letter saying that he was invited by General Yan to teach his wife. It's the one in front of him, he can't afford to offend the big shots in Beijing, but naturally he won't treat this child lightly if he likes him.

But to be an apprentice, no matter what background you have, you have to start from a young age as a handyman. "At the beginning of the apprenticeship, you have to do all the dirty and tiring jobs, can you bear the hardship?"

Jiu Bao looked up in surprise, and nodded quickly: "It's not bitter, I can. Master Lu, have you accepted me?"

No matter how hard it is, can we live in Huanshui Village?

Master Lu responded with a smile, "Don't you kneel down and kowtow to worship the master?"

Jiu Bao kowtowed politely as he did when he first recognized Master Liu.

After the apprenticeship, Master Lu took him to the other side of the backyard. There is an empty room here for you to live in. You can follow me tomorrow. From now on, you can go to the back kitchen after washing.

"Good master,"

Master Lu told him to clean up by himself, and pointed another man about his age to take him out to buy some necessities before leaving.

That was another apprentice of Master Lu, who was tall and thin and talked a lot.

"Oh, you are the new junior brother of the master? You look so cute."

Chen Lie really wanted to say it was beautiful, but Jiu Bao's still red and swollen eyes made him swallow his words.

Jiu Bao smiled embarrassedly, and called his senior brother in a polite and polite manner.

Chen Lie is from Fuzhou, and he is familiar with the streets and alleys as if he is at home.

Walking east and west with Jiubao, the posture is not inferior to Chu'er.

Jiu Bao was struggling gradually, and followed behind him with weak footsteps.

"Brother, I can't move anymore."

"Huh?" Chen Lie was in high spirits, and when he looked back at the person sitting on the side of the road panting and fanning the wind with his hands, he apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited that I haven't gone out for a few days, so why not?" It's almost done, let's go back after a while."

Jiu Bao's throat was dry, so he could only nod his head as a signal.

At the end of the alley, Yan Xiucheng, who was dressed in a black robe, stared at this shitty brother who suddenly appeared.

He wanted to hand over the bamboo tube filled with water but dared not, he was afraid that Jiu Bao would leave again if he knew he was coming.

The dark guard hid in a high place, looking at Yan Xiucheng as if watching the excitement.

The four hidden guards who followed Jiubao before were sent elsewhere by Yan Xiucheng, and when Jiubao was injured, Yan Xiucheng replaced a group of dark guards to protect Jiubao.

Several people whispered, "One thing falls one thing,"

"Master usually scolds us for our cold face, how flattering is Madam's place..."

Yan Xiucheng's hearing was superb, and his handsome face carved with knives and axes turned towards the hidden guards. When they received his murderous aura, they immediately silenced, saving their lives was the most important thing.

Jiubao had enough rest and walked back to Zhenwei Zhai with big bags and small bags.

In the middle of the display, I went home for something.Only Jiubao was left alone.

There are too many things for him to work harder.

Yan Xiucheng almost couldn't hold back and rushed out to help him get it.

Ever since Yan Xiucheng brought him out of Huanshui Village, how could he have been asked to do these things?

Jiu Bao was very happy, feeling as if his feet were on the ground.

After learning pastry, he will have a skill, and he will not be as helpless as in the previous life without Yan Xiucheng.

Passing by a shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study, Jiubao walked in by accident.

For some reason, I remembered the scene when Yan Xiucheng first taught him to write.

The eye sockets couldn't help but turn red again.

In the end he bought a small amount of rice paper, pen and ink.

After returning home and cleaning all afternoon, he was so tired that he could hardly straighten his back. He smiled wryly, it really is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

When he unwrapped the little bundle given by Chu'er, it was really difficult.

Chu'er really knew his temper thoroughly, several pieces of clothes were wrapped with several bank notes.

Jiu Bao sighed, saying that he can't accept anything, and send him back when he gets married.

Early the next morning, Jiu Bao started his apprenticeship.

There are several master chefs in the back kitchen, and each of the master chefs has their own specialty dim sum.The lower part is in charge of different general dim sum chefs.Jiu Bao is the last handyman apprentice.

Together with several other people, prepare the tools and materials needed by the masters.

Then it is to follow behind my master and watch and learn while playing hands.

At the end of the day, even though his body was a bit tired, the smile on Jiu Bao's face never faded.

It is especially obvious in a group of apprentices who are dying.

Master Lu nodded silently. After observing for a day, he found that Jiubao didn't know anything, on the contrary, his skills had already matured and he was still very talented.Now he is even more curious about the reason why this child's good general's wife didn't go to Fuzhou to be an apprentice. Why should he suffer so much?Also eat happily.

Jiu Bao returned to his room after dinner, and suddenly remembered the pen and ink he bought yesterday.

I agreed to write a letter to report that I was safe.

It was Yan Xiucheng who picked up the pen.It occupies the entire rice paper just like writing for the first time.

After reacting, he was in a daze for a long time.

He patted his forehead, squeezed the rice paper into a ball and threw it into the bamboo basket outside the door.

After he calmed down, he wrote two letters, one to Wei and the other to Chu'er.

In the middle of the night, after everyone in Zhenweizhai rested, the backyard was pitch black, and the people lying on the wall flew to the door of Jiubao.

Picking up the ball of paper inside, and unfolding it, the man finally showed his first smile these days.

He stretched out every wrinkle with extreme care, and then stuffed it into the clothes.
