Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

Tu Shanjing turned around and said to Ruiyang, "When you go out, always be alert."

Ruiyang smiled embarrassedly and said, "Oh my Lord, when I saw you, I was so focused on you that I forgot to look around. You taught me a lesson. I must be more careful next time!"

Tu Shanjing smiled and said, "I knew you were a smooth talker! Well, you and Lanxiang can continue shopping. Don't let your guard down, and especially keep an eye on her."

Ruiyang shook the meat pie and said, "Yes, sir!"

Tu Shanjing turned around again, looked at me, and said softly, "Go back early when you're done shopping. It's cold outside, so you need to be especially careful."

I nodded at him, my heart softened.

Then he turned and left.

I watched the golden sunlight shining on his white fur, dancing in the wind, until he turned a corner and disappeared at the end of the street.

Ruiyang asked me, "Girl, would you like to try the meat pie while it's hot? I'll take it back later when it cools down."

I couldn't eat any more, so I replied, "Thank you, but I won't eat it for now because I'm afraid of choking."

Ruiyang smiled and said, "Then can I eat it?"

I replied, "Eat it, but eat slowly. Be careful not to choke or you'll get a stomachache." Then I helped him hold the meat pie bag, and he took one out and started to bite it.

After finishing his meal, he wiped his mouth with the bandage on his arm and asked me, "Girl, there is another shop selling hazelnut and almond puff pastry. Would you like to go with me?"

I had nothing to do anyway, so I agreed and followed him, turning left and right until we arrived at another store.

Unfortunately, the proprietress told him that the hazelnut almond cookies were sold out. The light in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he wilted like an eggplant hit by frost.

I didn't have anything else I wanted to see, so I went back to the inn with him in a bad mood.

Yu Xin came back earlier than us and was sitting in the lobby drinking a pot of premium Tieguanyin. When he saw us coming back, he waved his hand and we both hurried over to sit next to him.

He turned over the two teacups on the tray on the table and poured a cup for each of us. I held them and my hands warmed up.

Ruiyang couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Brother Yu, have you found out the details of that boy?"

Yu Xin looked around and lowered his voice and said, "It's nothing serious. I went with him to a dilapidated City God Temple and saw a beggar-like man who exchanged glances with him. He then followed the beggar in. I listened to him telling the story under the window and heard the beggar say, 'This is still a kind and righteous man. You owe them a favor. Take the silver back to buy medicine for your sister. I will invite them tomorrow morning and apologize to them. Although our Zhiying Gang is a petty thief, we have our own code of conduct and do not owe favors to others.' That guy is probably his subordinate, but I don't think the beggar's spiritual power is high. Let's wait and see tomorrow morning. I won't move unless the enemy makes a move. Let's see what they do."

Ruiyang thought for a while and replied: "Brother Yu is right. If they provoke us, we will just deal with them." After saying that, he took a string of candied haws, bit one with a crunch, and chewed it with relish.

Seeing him eating with relish, I thought of Xiaowei and the others, so I took two candied haws back to my room.

As soon as I entered the room, Xiao Wei was lying on the table, her face flushed from sleep. Xiao Hui was writing quietly beside her, and when he saw me coming in, he made a "hush" gesture with his left hand.

I tiptoed to the table and saw Xiao Hui writing several articles. I whispered, "You've worked hard. Take a break and don't get tired."

Xiao Hui smiled and said, "I'm not tired. I'm immersed in it. It's already this hour. She cried in the afternoon, saying that Eleventh Lady was pitiful and felt sorry for her. She cried herself to death and fell asleep."

I sighed softly and said, "Xiao Wei is a passionate person, let her be."

I was afraid that if I stayed in the house any longer, I might accidentally make some noise and wake Xiaowei up, so I left them a string of candied haws and went out.

I ran into Ruiyang in the corridor and asked him, "Where are you going?"

Ruiyang smiled, raised the meat pie bag in his hand and said, "Brother Yu ate it just now and said it was delicious. I thought of sending some to Miss Senying as well."

I smiled and said, "What a coincidence, I want to find her too, let's go together."

Ruiyang and I walked to the door of Senying's room. I raised my hand and knocked on the door and asked, "Senying? It's us."

There were faint footsteps in the room. When they reached the door, it opened with a creak. Sen Ying was wearing a blue satin shirt. Her skin was fair and she looked very healthy.

When she saw the bracelet on my wrist, she exclaimed, "Wow!" She pulled my hand over and looked at it carefully, asking, "Where did you buy this bracelet? It's so beautiful!"

Before I could answer, Ruiyang answered first: "I met you on the street, and you bought it for me!"

Sen Ying raised the corner of her mouth and praised: "Young Master...Young Master treats you very well."

Ruiyang said again: "Isn't it! The young master loves our Lan the most——"

I glanced at him, and he shut up, stuck out his tongue, took out two oil-paper-wrapped meat patties and handed them to Senying, saying, "Here's a try for you. I'll go give them to Xiaowei and Xiaohui. I'm leaving first!"

After saying this, he ran away.

Mori Ying held the meat pie and stood there a little awkwardly.

I blinked and asked, "Are you busy right now? This candied haws is really delicious, would you like to try it?"

She stepped back, made way, and said, "I have nothing to do right now, please come in, young lady."

I stayed at her place for quite a while, first to feel out her attitude, and felt that she had completely come out of the shadow. Then I had dinner in her room, and after dinner I learned how to do her hair with her, until Ruiyang knocked on the door again.

"Miss Lanxiang, the master is back and wants you to serve him in his room."

I quickly put down the strand of Mori Ying's hair that I was holding in my hand, and said to her back, "I'll go now. Remember to try the meat pie later, it's quite delicious."

She turned around in the candlelight and smiled calmly, "Go ahead, girl. I'll come back and eat."

I nodded to her, thanked her, then walked out of the room and went to Tu Shanjing's room.

I knocked once, and Tu Shanjing came over and opened the door. He had taken off his outer fur coat and hung it up, leaving behind a blue satin grass-patterned robe.

When he saw me come in, he smiled gently, as white as jade, and there seemed to be moonlight flowing around him. A peaceful and comfortable atmosphere slowly spread in the air.

"Have you finished your work, sir?"

"Yeah." He responded softly and untied his hair. His shiny black hair fell down like a waterfall, flowing silkily.

I saw him pressing his palms on his temples, frowning slightly, so I asked, "Sir, do you have a headache? Can I help you massage it?"

He held his forehead, tilted his head to look at me, and asked, "Will it work?"

I found a can of cold cream, scooped out a little, melted it in my palm, rubbed it slowly, then walked up to him and said, "Try it, what if it works?"
