Finest Servant

Ning Yuxi was like a gust of wind, coming and going faster. Before she could figure out what her intention was, she had already stepped on the wind, and she was indescribably free and easy.

Having contacted Fairy Ning twice, Lin Wanrong couldn't tell what impression she had on her, but one thing was certain, there would definitely be opportunities to meet her in the future.

As for the gold medal that she took away, since it came from the palace, and the old man in Chinese clothes was so graceful and magnificent, could it be that he was—

Lin Wanrong's heart jumped a few times, if that's the case, I'll be prosperous this time. He laughed a few times, the woods were silent and empty, only his laughter echoed.

General Lin was in pain, and when he slowly staggered back to Xiao's house, he surprised the eldest young lady, and hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "You, why did you come back like this?"

Lin Wanrong said helplessly: "If I don't come back, are they still waiting for them to let me have supper? Ouch, it hurts me to death-"

Xiao Yuruo hurriedly helped him into the room, and rubbed the ointment on his wound again, and the pain was only a little less. Although the eldest lady is soft-spoken and extremely considerate, it's just that Lin Wanrong is extremely tired and exhausted today, and she has serious injuries on her body. She feels that the eldest lady's delicate fingers are gently stroking her back, and he will never change. After a few words, he fell asleep on the bed unconsciously.

Xiao Yuruo saw that the corners of his mouth were flowing, and he slept very peacefully. The moonlight shone on his face, which was different from his usual hideous appearance with teeth and claws. This villain, An Biru, Qin Xian'er, and the army of ten thousand people are all messed up every day, and I don't know how he survived.

A faint tenderness rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but stretch out her palm and gently stroked his face. The short, hard stubble of beard pierced her tender palm softly. There was a faint blush on her face, but the feeling of happiness was so real.

The eldest lady sat quietly beside his bed for a long time, until he was sound asleep, then stood up, carefully covered the quilt for him, then turned around and walked out of the room slowly.

"Miss, Miss Xu is here." Just now, when he arrived at the door, he saw Huan'er coming to report.

"Sister Xu?" Xiao Yuruo frowned, looked at the half-sunken moonlight in the sky, and asked in confusion, "It's so late, why is she here?"

While talking, she kept walking, and in the blink of an eye, she entered the living room, but she saw Xu Zhiqing sitting on the chair, her brows slightly wrinkled, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Sister Xu, it's dark and it's hard to walk on the road, why did you come in person?" The eldest lady hurriedly took a few steps and grabbed Xu Zhiqing's hand.

Miss Xu smiled and said, "I'm here to see you. I'm afraid that you will do something stupid when you see someone beaten up like that."

Xiao Yuruo blushed and said, "Sister came to make fun of me again. He was beaten so badly, but he did it willingly. Even if I wanted to be angry, I couldn't find a reason to blame anyone other than to blame him."

Xu Zhiqing nodded and said with a chuckle: "If you have such an idea, then it's the best. Today's incident is really no one's fault. Speaking of which, no one is right or wrong, so don't blame him anymore."

"How can I blame him!" The eldest lady pulled Xu Zhiqing to sit down and sighed: "He is in our house, although he looks like a servant on the surface, but he has no consciousness at all. It used to be so, now, I am afraid it is It's going to get even worse." Xiao Yuruo's face was covered with a touch of pink, which was indescribably beautiful.

Xu Zhiqing sighed slightly, and took out a bottle of ointment from her arms and said, "This is the ointment I asked for from the imperial doctor in the palace. It is made of high-quality snow ginseng and deer antler. It peels off in three days and heals in seven days. It is very precious, so you can use it for him."

The eldest lady took the small medicine bottle and said in surprise: "Really, sister, thank you so much. When you were at home during dinner, when did you enter the palace to ask for this medicine bottle?" No wonder Xu Zhiqing said this. It was too late to visit, but it turned out that he came here specially to deliver medicine for him. From dinner to now, it was at most two hours. The procedures for entering the palace were cumbersome, but Xu Zhiqing had to go to the palace to ask for medicine, and then deliver it in person. This friendship is not light.

Seeing Xiao Yuruo's expression of gratitude, Miss Xu shook her head and said, "Sister Xiao, don't thank me. Lin San's performance on the battlefield today is really impressive. What is it to ask for this bottle of wound medicine for him? I hope he doesn't think that the accident on the battlefield today was because I deliberately deceived him."

When the eldest lady heard that Lin San was injured, she hurried back. She didn't know the whole story. She was even more puzzled when she heard what Xu Zhiqing said, but she didn't ask.

"Did he sleep?" Xu Zhiqing glanced at the eldest young lady and asked softly.

"I suffered another toss tonight, and I just fell asleep." Seeing Xu Zhiqing's speechless expression, the eldest lady couldn't help but said, "Sister Xu, do you have something to tell me?"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and said, "My younger sister is indeed a shrewd person. No wonder Lin San, who is so rebellious, has been treated obediently by you."

The eldest lady blushed and said softly, "Sister said some jokes, how can I subdue him, I'm afraid that he is the only way to do it."

Seeing the dizzy look on the eldest Miss's brows and her face full of happiness, Xu Zhiqing sighed in her heart, and her lips lightly opened, "Sister, you are so gentle and considerate to him, I hope Lin San can know that you understand you and treat you well. There are not many things about reunion and happiness in this world, you don't want to have any side effects."

The eldest lady heard that her cheeks were flushed, she lowered her head and hummed, and remembered her last sentence, she suddenly realized something, and hurriedly raised her head and said, "Sister, do you have something to say to me?" She was shocked. , and said again: "Is it -- is there something wrong?"

Xu Zhiqing sighed, neither shaking her head nor nodding, she said softly, "Sister, do you really like this Lin San?"

It was hard for the eldest lady to answer these words. She considered it for a long time before she let out a sigh of relief: "He and I are born injustice. He used to be so angry with me every day, but I took his way. If he can't get rid of him, he seems to be under a spell. He has to be angry twice a day, but if he doesn't see him for a moment, I feel bad in my heart. I miss him every day, and I want to see him—" She The blush on his face was getting thicker and thicker, and when he said the back, his voice was as thin as a gnat.

Xu Zhiqing nodded: "The matter of men and women is the most difficult problem in the world. Even if you live for ten lifetimes, you can't figure out why. Since my sister cares about him so much, then you have to take good care of it, don't call Someone else stole it."

Don't ask others to snatch it? The eldest lady raised her head and said, "Sister, what do you mean by this? Was it him who provoked another lady outside, this dead man—"

Xu Zhiqing smiled and took her hand and said, "Sister, don't panic. Whether he did this or not, it's hard to say. Although he is very arrogant, he still doesn't have the ability to think about it. It's a bit strange."

Xiao Yuruo was even more puzzled, stared at Xu Zhiqing, and smiled bitterly: "Sister, what's the matter?

Xu Zhiqing sighed and stood up. He squeezed his little hands lightly and walked a few steps back and forth in the hall before he said, "Sister, although I don't know where Lin San came from, his knowledge and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people. Can you admit this?"

What do you need to say, I knew him much earlier than you, and I know better than anyone what he is capable of. What's more, his knowledge and knowledge are far beyond ordinary people, and he has been deceived, conspiracy, and tricks. Which one is lost to others? Thinking of what he did in the past, the eldest lady smiled and nodded: "I know this. The things he did have already been widely sung by storytellers in Jinling."

Xu Zhiqing couldn't help but smile and said, "I heard daddy mention what you said. What about bean sprouts topping the Buddha statue, washing hands in oil pans, burning copper coins, playing with the couple kings, fighting against Mei Yanqiu, and folding laurels. Shihui, sometimes I think about it, I can't believe that this is what Lin San did. In fact, there are many things you don't know, such as the eradication of the White Lotus Sect. One person. Today on the school grounds, in front of the emperor, he faced a powerful enemy, one against five, but outstanding soldiers, and a dramatic victory. Putting these things together, Lin San can be a strange man two. Character."

The eldest lady nodded with a smile, with a hint of pride flashing on her face, and said softly: "He has never been able to think of anything, and there is nothing he can't do."

"This Lin San is so outstanding and praised by others, but sister, have you ever thought about it, the more outstanding he is, the further away he is from your Xiao family, are you sure you can keep him forever?" Xu Zhiqing said softly.

The eldest lady's face was pale for a while. For a long time, she had been worried about this issue. This Lin San is getting better and better, but it is definitely not a good thing for the Xiao family. Xiao Yuruo bit her silver teeth lightly, her eyes blurred for a while, and she said, "Sister, what happened?"

Xu Zhiqing turned around, took her hand and said, "Sister, do you know that during the battle today, the emperor visited the scene in person, witnessed his magic, praised him highly, and asked daddy to recruit him for a few days. Enter the palace."

The eldest lady said strangely: "Recruit him into the palace? Did the emperor fall in love with him? This is a good thing, why did my sister ask such a strange question." [Heaven's Kiss]

Xu Zhiqing shook her head with a wry smile and said, "My silly little sister, you only know one of them, but you don't know the other. The emperor values ​​him and wants to recruit him into the palace and entrust him with important responsibilities, which is naturally a good thing. Now, you are loving and lingering with him, and being a pair of mandarin ducks that everyone envies is very happy. But how can things be so simple! "

When it comes to official affairs, the eldest miss is far inferior to Xu Zhiqing, she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister, is there any twists and turns in the middle?"

Xu Zhiqing glanced at her and sighed, "It's twists and turns, but it's even more strange. Sister, we Emperor Dahua have two princesses, so you naturally understand."

"There are two princesses." Xiao Yuruo nodded and said, "So what?"

"Silly girl!" Xu Zhiqing patted the eldest young lady's little hand with a wry smile: "I heard from Daddy that today the emperor recruited him into the palace, in addition to discussing state affairs, he also revealed a great news - the little boy who has been drifting away for many years. Princess, you have returned to the palace recently."

"Princess? Go back to the palace? What does this have to do with Lin San?" The eldest lady groaned, but her face gradually turned pale: "Sister means that the emperor wants to betroth the princess to—"

Xu Zhiqing grabbed her small hand, but felt that her palm trembled slightly and her face was pale. Miss Xu naturally knew Xiao Yuruo's heartache, and she didn't know how to comfort her. He could only sigh softly: "This little princess is already in her twenties. I don't know if she wants to choose a concubine. But there is one piece of news that is absolutely true. I heard from my father that this little princess once made a statement to the emperor that she wanted to be a concubine. Recruiting Lin San into the palace—"

This news is enough, the dignified Princess Dahua is also Yun Ying's unmarried body. In front of the emperor, who can say good things for Lin San and say that the two of them have nothing to do with each other, who can believe it? If Lin San became the concubine, and the royal majesty was greater than the sky, how could the princess let him marry a commoner woman again?

When did this bad guy know the princess and hide me so tightly? The eldest lady's delicate body trembled slightly, her palms became colder and colder, and her heart felt like a needle pierced. Could it be that my affection for him has all turned into the water of the Yangtze River and disappeared?

The eldest lady smiled desolately and said, "He's really lucky, even the princess likes him. What does a plain girl like me count for in his eyes?"

Xu Zhiqing hurriedly said: "Sister, don't worry, things may not go that far, in my opinion. Lin Sanfei is a merciless person. I tell you this today, I hope my sister can pay close attention to the person she likes, don't ask Wait until the yellow flower is gone. I will feel sorry for myself, and I will be a lonely person for life like me."

The eldest lady shook her head and said with tears in her eyes, "Phoenixes can't live in a bird's nest, and a dragon can't get stuck in shallow water. I already know who he is. With his ability, there will be a day when he will be in the air, and on that day, I will be myself. I am happy for him. If he is tired of my Xiao family, I will never drag him down. In my eyes, he will always be that hateful family Ding Linsan, the villain who stole people's hearts, I will give him all my life —"

When she said this, tears had already fallen on her cheeks, as if she saw Lin San abandoning herself and leaving, her heart aching as if torn apart, her body fell back, and she was about to faint.

Xu Zhiqing hurriedly supported her, but the eldest lady seemed to grab a life-saving straw, hugged her tightly, and wept bitterly, "Sister, is this my life? Why is my life so miserable!"

Xu Zhiqing had good intentions, she informed Xiao Yuruo of the news in advance, and asked her to take precautions, but it was the result. Seeing the tears on her face, she felt deeply guilty and held her hand tightly. , said softly: "Sister, don't worry, even if I, Xu Zhiqing, sacrificed my life, I would still protect you and Lin Sanbaitou's love and harmony for life."

********************

Injured and tired again, this sleep was really good. It was not until the third day of the sun that Lin Wanrong opened his eyes. He felt refreshed, and the pain on his body seemed to be much reduced. He yawned lazily, and caught a glimpse of a bottle of potion lying beside the bed. The word "Yu" was written in the middle of the bottle, and he had already used a little half of it. There is a faint fragrance coming from the bottle cap, and the smell is very good.

Where did the eldest lady get the things in the palace? Lin Wanrong was puzzled and struggled to get up. There was still some slight pain in his body, but it was not as severe as yesterday. The effect of this imperial medicine was really different.

As he was looking at the medicine bottle, he heard a soft clatter. Huan'er came in with gruel from outside the door. Seeing that he had sat up, he suddenly said in surprise, "Third brother, are you awake?"

Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled: "Wake up. Where's Miss?"

Huan'er said lightly, "Miss, she went out with Miss Xu early in the morning."

"With Miss Xu?" Lin Wanrong asked curiously, if I remember correctly, that girl didn't come to our house yesterday, why did the eldest miss go out with her in the morning?

Huan'er saw his question and said, "After you rested last night, Miss Xu came to visit. She asked for this medicine bottle from the palace. The eldest lady applied it to you while you were asleep. some time."

Khan, I said why I dreamed that a cat scratched my vest last night. It turned out that the eldest lady was giving me medicine. This girl is more and more like a good wife and good mother. He was beautiful in his heart, hehe smiled and said, "Miss eldest went out with Miss Xu so early? Do they have anything to do?"

Huan'er shook her head and said, "I don't know. But—" She said softly, glanced around, and said mysteriously: "Miss Xu didn't know what she said to the eldest last night. The eldest cried all night, and even Miss Xu I couldn't persuade her, so I only slept for half an hour this morning. Miss Xu stayed with the eldest all night. When I saw her this morning, her eyes were red and she seemed to cry too. The two of them went out early in the morning. already."

Miss crying all night? Is it because I am injured? This girl, alas, knife-mouthed, tofu-hearted, you have to treat her better in the future. But then why did Xu Zhiqing cry? I have nothing to do with her. The vow to catch up with her and get rid of her has not been fulfilled. Saying she cried for me would be a dead laugh.

He pondered for a long time, but couldn't understand what the two women were thinking, so he sighed bitterly and said, "Did you say when the eldest lady will be back?"

"No!" Huan'er shook her head and said, "The eldest lady left in a hurry, leaving nothing behind."

It's getting weirder and weirder. Don't think Xu Zhiqing ruined the eldest lady. He was worried for a while, so he didn't think about those things, and his mind fell on the gold medal that Fairy Ning took away last night. If the old man who gave the gold medal is really the number one person in Dahua, isn't he the one who rode on the high seat on the military stage yesterday? Mother, I look so handsome and handsome, I think he will not forget me. The reason why he didn't summon me yesterday was probably because he was too far away and didn't see me clearly. *, How could I be so stupid back then, if I had known that he might be Qing Xuan's father, I would have kowtowed and worshipped my father-in-law outside Lingyin Temple, no matter what.

Thinking of this, he felt itchy and unbearable. In any case, he must find an opportunity to visit his old man. In a flash, he thought of a person, and suddenly shouted: "Huan'er, Huan'er, Hurry up and find me a sedan chair, and then go to the east end of the city to buy two good fake paintings, I want to see an old friend."

"Old friend? Third brother, do you still have friends in the capital?" Huan'er said in surprise.

"Of course. The third brother, I am Yushu Linfeng, and I fight with ten daughters at night. As the saying goes, the world is full of friendship, and only one person is fertilized. What does it mean to have a few friends?" Lin Wanrong laughed.

Huan'er blushed and ran out in a hurry. Lin Wanrong smiled and said loudly: "Be careful when buying that fake painting, don't be fooled. Anything over ten taels of silver is always a fake in the fake painting."

Fakes in fake paintings? What kind of statement is this? As Huan'er's heart beat faster, she gained a deeper understanding of the unfathomable third brother.

Everything was ready, and he put the "fake in the fake painting" on his body, and was about to go out in a sedan chair, but saw a few sedan chairmen walking fast in the distance, and a soft sedan came in a hurry, aiming directly at the Xiao family shop. .

I*, who is so fierce, sitting in a sedan chair is like taking a plane? Lin Wanrong smiled and was about to open the sedan door when someone shouted loudly in the distance, "Brother Lin, stay, Brother Lin, stay!"

He looked up and saw an old man with gray hair sitting in the rushing sedan chair. It was Master Xu Weixu. Xu Wei, dressed in a red official robe and long-eared black gauze, looked very Zhou Zheng, and was waving at him.

I really want to come to whichever one, this is good, save me running away. He didn't care about the pain on his body, he laughed, and hurriedly walked up to him and said, "Hi, old friend, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?"

When the sedan chair was in front of him, Xu Wei stepped down from the sedan chair, with a very strong figure, grabbed his hand and said, "Little brother Lin, come with me!"

"What are you going to do?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Old friend, you came just in time, and I was looking for you. Ah, this is a calligraphy and painting of Mr. Guiguzi, a master of the Warring States Art of War, which the experts call it. 'Ghost painting talisman' is a trivial gift, not a respect." He cautiously presented the fake in the fake painting to Xu Wei, acting very modestly.

"Aiya, how can I care about the 'ghost painting talisman' now?" Xu Wei took the fake painting and threw it into the sedan chair without looking at it, and said anxiously, "Come with me quickly. , you will die later - the emperor summons you."
