He only got out of the cabin this summer. Yan Shifan pushed away the maid who was originally in his arms, rubbed his chin at Lu Yi, and smiled: "Sure enough, she is still a little girl, but she can still sit still, longer than I expected."
"I don't know how to praise her like this, thanks to the tolerance of the adults." Lu Yi shook his head and sighed, "I also looked at my father's face, and I was a little tolerant of her. You also know that her master Yang Chengwan was the father who was able to do it before he was injured. My subordinate. My father is quite fond of the past, and this time he asked me to find a famous doctor to heal his wounds."
There is something in these words, how could Yan Shifan not be able to hear it, he immediately smiled and said, "I'm not interested in this kind of little girl who has not grown up and has not yet understood the style, look at me, which one is not better than her ... You can choose as you like, you don't have to meet me, I promise to let your favorite one accompany you tonight."
Lu Yi smiled and refused again and again: "No, no, they are all the favorites of adults."
"You don't need to meet me." Under Yan Shifan's gaze, the two naked-footed girls leaned halfway to Lu Yi's side, "The autumn eagle picture you sent is really in line with my heart, why don't you pick two people who match your heart? Let's go, every day with red sleeves and fragrance, wouldn't it be good?"
Lu Yi put his hand on the maid's soft waist, kneaded gently, his face was thoughtful, and after a while he looked at Yan Shifan and said, "Sir... To be honest, there is one more thing I remember about my lord this time. help."
"Between you and me, why not see the outside world, just say it."
It seems that this matter is quite difficult for him, Lu Yi first asked the maid to fill the glass of wine, and then said: "Sir, you know, my father asked me to come to Jiangnan to handle this case, because he wanted me to borrow This... I take this to take another step up, but now the Xiuhe money has not been found, and the Holy One is already unhappy..."
He looked at Yan Shifan with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Yan Shifan didn't answer, just nodded slowly, indicating that he was listening.
Lu Yi could only continue to say: "I don't know if the adults can help the lowly post. If you say a word, maybe..."
"One sentence?" Yan Shifan shrugged.
"You know, low-ranking people are soft-spoken. Since they arrived in Yangzhou, they have found that the officials on the border of Yangzhou are not concerned about this case, there are few clues, and the number of people who can be dispatched is extremely limited. The prefect of Yangzhou, Lord Fang, is a disciple of Ling Zun. Just a word to help the lower post, maybe these 100,000 taels of repairing the river will soon have a face." Lu Yi said this with the utmost humility and sincerity in his eyes.
Yan Shifan stared at him, silent for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "It's easy to talk, isn't it just a matter of one sentence, you and I have been friends for a long time, and the relationship is very deep, do you still need to say this."
Lu Yi seemed to be relieved, with a happy expression on his face, and said: "Thank you, sir, when you get promoted, you will never forget your kindness... By the way, since the autumn eagle painting is genuine, other Tibetan paintings will not be fake. The humble post will let people send all the paintings and calligraphy to the ship tomorrow, please take the time to reward them."
"Those who know me."
Yan Shifan laughed and took the maid back into his arms.
The moonlight was just right tonight, and in the midst of singing, dancing and vocal music, the two of them drank until the fourth watch before they left the table.
**************************************************** *************
"Sir, this way please."
The girl with bare feet carried a small and delicate glass lantern in front to guide Lu Yi. Lu Yi stepped on the wolfskin mattress and followed her down to the second floor until he stopped in front of a cabin.
The maid reached out and opened the door for him: "Sir, please rest, the inside has been arranged according to the master's instructions. If the lord needs anything, just pull the bell rope."
Lu Yi nodded, stepped into the room, and heard the maid behind him closing the door thoughtfully for him. He looked back at the door bolt, thought for a moment, and didn't bolt the door.
In this cabin, the brocade tablecloth on the round table was originally lit with lights, and in the semi-darkness, the bed curtains on the carved bed were low, and there seemed to be people inside.
"I promise to let your favorite accompany you tonight." - He still remembered what Yan Shifan said, and couldn't help frowning. The wound was just beginning to heal, and the intake of too much alcohol caused a burst of discomfort in his body. He didn't even have the interest to lift the curtain of the bed to take a look, and sat down at the table to rest tiredly.
The candle blazed, and he tried to wake himself up a little: Which cabin is he staying in this summer? Will it be next door to me? …
Just as he was thinking, someone came knocking on his door "dong dong dong".
"Who?"
"Sir, can you sleep peacefully? I'll give you soup to hangover." The person outside the door politely said.
Lu Yi sighed secretly, got up, walked to the bed and sat down, took off his boots and said, "Come in."
The maid pushed the door and came in, respectfully put the jade bowl on the tray on the table, backed out, and closed the door.
Lu Yi glanced at the jade bowl, and was too lazy to go to take it. After taking off his boots, he lifted the curtain of the bed, and prepared to lie down and rest while pretending to be drunk. As soon as the curtain of the bed was lifted, he was stunned—a pair of round black and white eyes were looking at him, familiar, but the annoyance in the eyes had not been seen for a long time, and now he looked at him involuntarily. want to laugh.
"Why are you?" He tilted his head to look at her, and by the way reached out and brushed aside the strands of hair that fell on her cheeks for her.
She didn't seem to be able to move, but she didn't speak, frowning hard, not knowing what she was trying to do.
Lu Yi looked down her gaze and found that although her arm couldn't move, her fingers kept pulling, so she placed her hand on his palm.
"There are copper pipes," she wrote on the palm of his hand. One end of the copper pipe is on this end, and the person on the other end of the copper pipe can use this to eavesdrop on the voices here. There are several special cells in the Ministry of Punishment that are fitted with copper pipes.
Lu Yi understood what she meant, but didn't take it seriously, and didn't even bother to look for copper pipes: this is Yan Shifan's territory, so naturally he couldn't escape his eyes and ears. If he avoided it, it would make him even more suspicious.
"I know." He wrote in the palm of her hand, "Why are you here?"
There was anger in her eyes, and her fingers tickled his palm: "It should be soft muscles, this bastard!"
He couldn't help laughing, moved her inside, and then Heyi lay down beside her, still putting her hand on the palm of his hand.
Through the clothes, he could still feel a little hot in his body. This summer, he asked with his fingers uneasy: "Do you have a fever? Because of those wines?"
"It's okay," he wrote briefly.
It took a lot of effort this summer to turn his head to the side. Looking at his tired face, he frowned and wrote, "Yan Shifan is a bastard!"
Itchy palms, Lu Yi closed his eyes and rested, feeling every word she wrote, smiled and nodded his head.
"Did he bully you?" she asked, scratching.
Lu Yi remembered his previous servility, and then slowly shook his head.
"I don't think you look like you in front of him anymore, I feel very aggrieved," she continued.
He thought for a while, and wrote two words in her palm: "Show weakness."
Show weakness.
The art of war has a cloud. When the enemy is stronger than your own, it is impossible to overcome the enemy and win. You need to paralyze the enemy by showing weakness, so that the enemy will take it lightly, and then wait for an opportunity to move.
He seemed to be seriously considering the meaning of these two words. After a long while, his fingers didn't move this summer, but Lu Yi played with his fingers to tickled her palms.
"Why did he put me on your bed?" She asked, stroking, remembering this.
Lu Yi answered her truthfully: "He said that he would let the one I like the most come to accompany me." Yan Shifan could see through, to be honest, he was not surprised, because he just covered it up a little. Seeing through this, for now, as long as the Lu Yan family doesn't tear their faces, it's not a bad thing. What's more, he never wanted to tear his face with the Yan family, and he never used the next best strategy.
This truth made Jin Xia blushed, and then she felt that it might be a side effect of the loose tendons, which made it easy for people to think wildly.
"He can't bear the girl you fancy, so he uses me to make up the number." This was the most reasonable reason she could think of.
Lu Yi was silent, turned his head and opened his eyes to look at her, and wrote with his hand, "I didn't like it."
Isn't it all the same, they all used her to make up the number, and this summer was silent, and then heard a few rumblings in her stomach, and looked at Lu Yi awkwardly.
"Hungry?" he asked.
Nodding this summer, she can't blame her for this. Yan Shifan's boat is weird. She has always been on guard, and she hasn't eaten anything at all.
"I asked them to bring some food." Lu Yi wanted to get up, but was held back by this summer.
She was nervous, and her fingers were a little heavy: "They will mix things in the food."
Lu Yi answered with his hand: "I have eaten all the soft tendons, so what are you afraid of." After writing it in her palm, he half sat up and pulled the bell rope beside the bedpost.
"What would you like to eat?" he asked.
With Lu Yi standing beside him, his guts have gotten fatter this summer, and his eyes are shining: "You can eat anything?"
Lu Yi nodded with encouragement in his eyes.
"I want to eat... noodles! Beef noodles!" She was quite excited.
At this time, the maid knocked on the door and came in. Lu Yi ordered a bowl of beef noodles, and the maid went out. After a while, she brought a bowl of hot beef noodles in and put it on the table.
This summer praised: "It seems that beef soup has been simmered in the stove for backup. It's really convenient." After the praise, she realized that there was a problem later. I can't even lift my arms, how can I eat noodles.
She was worrying when Lu Yi helped her sit up, took the noodle bowl, wrapped the noodles with chopsticks, blew hot air, and said, "Open your mouth! Why are you standing still."
"..." Although there is no better way at the moment, but as Lu Yi's identity, how can he not let him feed himself, this summer, he endured his hunger and said, "Let's leave it for now, and eat it when I can move. ."
"Come on, my hands are sore." His tone was beyond doubt.
At this time, this summer is really regretful. I knew that I would have a jujube mud cake or an osmanthus cake, or a hard steamed bun. Why did I want a bowl of noodles, making it so embarrassing.
"Open your mouth!" He stared at her.
I have to keep my mouth shut this summer.
"How does it taste?" he asked.
She nodded: "Delicious."
There are still some things that she didn't say: when she grew up, even her mother never fed her again, and now Lu Yi is feeding her like this, she feels a little restrained, but also feels like she has returned to her childhood, deep in her heart. Warm.
Lu Yi fed slowly, and ate slowly this summer. Before he knew it, a bowl of fragrant beef noodles had bottomed out.
"The duration of Ruanjinsan will not be long. After you sleep, the effect of the medicine will probably fade when you wake up."
He still asked her to lie down, and he lay beside her as before, writing in her palm.
"In this kind of place..." Ben wanted to say, "I'm still lying together like this" this summer, but after hesitating for a moment, he still didn't say, "How can I fall asleep."
Lu Yi didn't say anything, and slowly wrapped her hand in his palm.
Probably because of the fever, his hands were unusually warm. This summer, he was thinking that when he returned to the city tomorrow, he would remember to take the medicine according to Mrs. Shen's prescription and give him a drink.
Then she yawned wearily, and then, no more, she fell asleep.
Listening to the steady and even breathing on his side, Lu Yi turned his body and looked at her. On this boat, on that man's turf, it wasn't all that disgusted him, he thought.
