One of Liang Zhu's trees is white jade

When Ma Wencai said this, he looked straight at Bai Yu, as if he wanted to see through the person in front of him.After all, he is only nine years old, and he still can't behave in a seemingly casual but threatening manner. This behavior, although a bit immature at this age, is already rare.

Standing in the hall, Bai Yu was slightly startled by Ma Wencai's staring at her, but she also kept in mind the purpose of her visit. The child's words were clearly telling her to keep her duty. For a child with such a deep mind at such a young age, she also felt a little complicated in her heart, but she couldn't tolerate her not expressing her position at this time.

Her thoughts were turning back and forth, but her face did not show a single point. She respectfully took Ma Wencai's words just now, and replied: "My servant would like to listen to the young master's instruction."

After the first trial, Ma Wencai was quite satisfied with Bai Yu's reaction, but anyone can do superficial tricks, so he couldn't use Bai Yu's two or three words with confidence.

His mother Xiao's death was really strange. Even though she committed suicide, she didn't see any abnormalities in her expression a few days ago. He was young and no one would take the initiative to tell him these things, but because of this, he vaguely saw it from the expressions of his servants. There are some clues.

For funerals in this dynasty, the higher the rank of the gentry, the more troublesome the funeral.Although the Ma Mansion can only be regarded as a second-level funeral process, a series of funeral procedures, such as reporting the funeral, summoning the soul, sending the soul, making seven, encoffining, and going out of the funeral, outsiders may find that the process is very fast. His mother's coffin, After only stopping for three days, the funeral was rushed.

The night before the funeral, he sneaked to his mother's mourning hall on purpose. At that time, the mourning hall was quiet and no one was there, and Xiao Si, the maid who was watching the night, was all gone. .

It was also that night that he took a last look at his mother, and just as he noticed something strange, footsteps came from outside the house.

He was ten years old after the new year, and he didn't want people to know that the son of the dignified prefect was so unruly, and most importantly, he didn't want people to find out his fragile side, so he hid himself and wanted to go out after others left.

He never thought that the person who came was not passing by, he hid in the inner hall and looked through the curtain, only to find that the person who came was not an ordinary servant, but his father who seemed to be indifferent!

Ma Zheng was lying outside to the crowd of mourners. Although he was young, he could feel whether it was true or false. He showed a very lonely expression, and even an elderly man even supported the coffin and wept silently.

Ma Wencai's mood at that time was very complicated. He didn't know whether his father loved his mother or not.If he loves, why does he let her stay alone in the vacant room while his wives and concubines are in groups, so happy; but if he says he doesn't love, why does he show such an expression when his mother passes away?

His thoughts couldn't stop, but in the end no matter how he looked at it, he had every reason to suspect that his mother had died.

However, judging from his father's handling of his mother's affairs, it is obvious that he does not want to make public, so this also shows that if he expresses his doubts, his father, Hangzhou prefect Ma Zheng, may not be willing to help him.

His strategy was taught by a well-known bachelor hired by Ma Zheng. In addition, Ma Zheng had very strict requirements on him, and he brought him to learn from him since he was a child. His ability to analyze current problems has been mastered at a young age.

Small indifference can lead to great schemes, he is not yet fully fledged, and cannot show the slightest stealth for the enemy to take advantage of.This maid named Xiang Wan was sent by the Xiao Mansion at this very moment. In fact, the suspicion is particularly serious. If it is related to the Xiao Mansion at this time, then the purpose of Xiang Wan by his side is to monitor him completely. He didn't intend to use it. , but all of this was disrupted by a strange dream.

He could not believe anyone, but he was willing to believe what his mother said.

If his mother really died unexpectedly and met in the dream, he must be worried about him, so for the sake of his mother, he is willing to give her a chance.

If the person is trustworthy, he will use it, if not...

Then she has her own place!

...

Ma Wencai is not a talkative person, seeing that he has achieved his goal, Bai Yu doesn't look stupid for the time being, he is a little tired, and just wanted him to step back and call Ma Zhan to come in, but Bai Yu just replied respectfully. , but what she said the next moment made him feel directly worried.

"Young master, the duty of a servant is to serve and take good care of the young master. The young master is not feeling well right now. Dr. Qi ordered that the medicine must be finished before meals. But the young master is taking medicine now?" Respectfully asked for instructions.Ma Wencai couldn't see anything else on his face. After searching for a long time, seeing Bai Yu still bent over there persistently, he frowned, suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and nodded without any fluctuation on his face. He agreed to her words.

Seeing this, Bai Yu straightened up a little and walked out of the house.After a while, Bai Yu led the group in an orderly manner, and the rest of the people came in slowly with plates.

Ma Wencai didn't get up. His leg injury was serious at this time. Just now Ma Zhan briefly told him about the current situation. He probably guessed that his legs and feet might be inconvenient for the past two days, so he didn't have meals or something, at least tonight. I don't want to use it outside.

He wanted to see how this man would deal with him if he didn't speak.

Bai Yu didn't know if it was because of the dim light on the bed. She took a quick glance as if she accidentally saw a strange smile on the child on the bed, but the smile was fleeting, and before she could confirm it, Ma Wencai returned to the original His face was heavy, and he didn't say anything else.

Seeing that Ma Wencai didn't say where to serve the meal, Bai Yu was careful, and after a little deliberation, she asked everyone to stop in the outer hall, and she came to Ma Wencai alone to ask for instructions.

"Master, your legs and feet are inconvenient, how about a servant serving you to sit by the bed to eat tonight?"

"..."

"Master?" Seeing that Ma Wencai did not reply, but instead closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about which would be more cost-effective, Bai Yu waited for a while, and had no choice but to

He reminded in a low voice.

"Okay." This time, Marvin responded quickly, but agreed to her proposal.

Bai Yu got the right words, and called someone to move the small table to the inner hall. She thoughtfully put a high and soft pillow behind Ma Wencai. Around Wencai, Ma Wencai didn't like fragrance since he was a child, and he felt a lot of discomfort when he smelled it. I don't know if it's because of the faint smell on Baiyu's body. At this time, his discomfort is not as usual. When he went to get the medicine, he was still trying to identify what kind of incense it was.

"Young master, please use the medicine first." Bai Yu was holding a small bowl made of jade at this time. In the bowl was a piece of brown-black liquid medicine, steaming from it. The liquid medicine swayed in the bowl as Bai Yu moved slowly Little ripples.

Ma Wencai's thoughts were pulled back by Bai Yu's words, and when he saw the thing in Bai Yu's hand, he frowned subconsciously, but Bai Yu's attention was in his hands, and he didn't notice the person on the bed passing by. The color of boredom.

Bai Yu came to the bed, and in order to feed the medicine more conveniently, she sat on a stool beside Ma Wencai at eye level.She first scooped up a spoonful with a jade spoon, put it near her mouth and blew it, and when she felt the heat was not so obvious, she smiled slowly at Ma Wencai, and handed the jade spoon to Ma Wencai.

Ma Wencai was in a very unhappy mood at this time. Although the task arranged by his master and father was difficult, he would grit his teeth and persevere, but there was only one thing that was his nemesis——

All his life, he disliked taking medicine the most.

Due to many reasons, he was injured for a long time, and the potion was almost never broken throughout the year.He had already had enough of the bitterness of the medicine, as soon as he drank the medicine, he would think of why he took the medicine, which was more difficult for him to accept and let go than the bitterness brought to him by the medicine.

He was in a bad mood, but now Bai Yu showed such a harmless smile at him, his mood suddenly became more irritable.

Ma Wencai turned his head slightly, unconsciously parted his thin lips, and said in a deep voice, "Try the medicine."

His expression and tone seemed normal, Bai Yu was slightly taken aback, unable to understand what Ma Wencai meant.

Ma Shan, who was waiting in the outer hall, was a little puzzled when he heard what his young master said, isn't he always trying the medicine?He just brought it up after he tried it, why did the young master want to try the medicine again?

But he didn't dare to disobey the young master's orders. As soon as he started to move, another voice came from the room, but it stopped him from moving.

"I asked you to test the medicine, didn't you hear clearly?" Ma Wen in the room saw Bai Yu's expression of surprise after listening to his words, and his body, which was slightly tense before, naturally relaxed.Waiting to see how Baiyu handles the problem he gives.

He has sharp eyes, just now when he saw Bai Yu feeding him, his breathing slowed down, he practiced martial arts since he was a child, the breathing rate of a person, let alone, as Bai Yu is so close to him at this time, he can still feel the change of breathing.

He also said that he was the only one who didn't like to drink medicine, so it turned out that someone who was so much older than him was like him.

This is really interesting...

Bai Yu was sitting silently on one side, and it was Ma Wen who gave this order. No matter what, she had tried the medicine, and if it caused her to develop a grudge against her, it would really be worthless.

Although the smell of traditional Chinese medicine permeated her and made her uncomfortable, Bai Yu thought about it, but still endured it. She put the spoonful of medicine that had been blown cold in her hand into her mouth in one breath. According to the smell, the expression on her face did not change much, only a pair of beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly when the medicine was taken in, it was really hard to find without looking carefully.The moment the potion was swallowed, Bai Yu resisted the urge to vomit, and she took two small breaths to ease the uncomfortable feeling just now.

After trying the medicine in the bowl here, Bai Yu maintained his poise, scooped up a spoonful again, blew it on his mouth, and brought it to Ma Wencai, his eyes signaled that he was fine, and he could drink it with peace of mind .

Ma Wencai kept watching Bai Yu's performance just now.I have to say that Bai Yu is actually covering it up very well, it's not easy for him to find out that she doesn't like to drink medicine unless he looks carefully.At this moment, Bai Yu was also laughing, a gentle smile, but also a bit far-fetched.

"How can I use the utensils you have used?" There was a bit of sarcasm in the words, but also a little bit of madness, and the words were cold and cold.Bai Yu's movement of delivering the medicine froze, and the veins on his forehead twitched faintly...

This is simply a bear child!
