son.

Liu Zi suddenly remembered that person that night, his heart trembled, he dropped the thing in his hand and ran to the yamen.Squeezing hard to the front, they saw Cui Mingchong kneeling in the hall wearing night clothes. Although it was only from the back, the six sons recognized that he was not the person from that night.He was inexplicably relieved.The six sons smiled, that man looked lukewarm, how could he be a murderer?Really, how do you say that word?Care is chaos!

Since the murderer was not from that day, Liu Zi had no interest.Back at his noodle stall, Liu Zi thought how could he care so much about someone he had only met once?It was probably because the figure of him wandering in the street alone that day was too bleak, or maybe it was because he gave the six sons an ingot of silver enough to buy his noodle stall.

Liu Zi shook his head, when did he miss someone so much?

Yes, it turned out to be missing.Liu Zi smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up. In fact, this feeling is not bad.Playing with the ingot of silver, Liu Zi thought, hoping to see him again.

A few months passed in a flash, and another major event happened in the capital city that had not been quiet for a long time—the eight virtuous kings killed a court lady!

Liu Zi knew the court lady named Xiuzhu, and that woman occasionally came to him to eat noodles and chat with him.It's a pity that such a living person is gone.The six sons looked at the paintings of Zhao Zhen in their room, rubbed their chins and thought: I have always heard that the Eighth Sage King is a good man, so how could he kill people?Liu Zi thought of that person again, fortunately the age of the Baxian King was not right for him.Strange to say, his noodle stall was basically a repeat customer, but that person never appeared again.Liu Zi was thinking with some melancholy, wondering if he would ever see him again in this life.

Probably if you think about someone every day, he will really appear.When Liu Zi was about to close the stall that night, that person finally came again.

Seeing that person walking this way from a distance, the smile on Liu Zi's face couldn't be restrained getting deeper and deeper.He dropped his things and ran over, shouting at the man, "You're finally here!"

Zhao Zhen looked at the sixth son who was running towards him in a daze, with a smile on that man's simple and honest face.Zhao Zhen suddenly felt that the softest point in his heart had been poked.

The six sons ran up to Zhao Zhen, reached out to give him a hug, and then let go: "I thought I'd never see you again."

The fleeting warmth made Zhao Zhen's face a little hot. Except for being hugged by his father and mother when he was a child, no one else has hugged him before.But the six sons embraced so naturally, Zhao Zhen felt that he was unnecessary and did not want to refuse.

The last time I went back from Liu Zi, Zhao Zhen found that he would think of this person every day.Liu Zi, this kind of name seems to have no surname.Zhao Zhen knows that the living environment of the six sons must be two extremes completely different from his own, but they have one thing in common, the six sons have no father and no mother, he was born in the emperor's family, his father died young, and the queen mother only has power in her eyes .Thinking of his mother's constant desire to control him, the look in Zhao Zhen's eyes was obscure.

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was distracted, the six sons asked him: "What are you thinking?"

Zhao Zhen looked at Liu Zi: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Yes."

"Wait for me to do?"

The sixth son was taken aback by Zhao Zhen's question, and then scratched his head: "I think... oh yes! I want to give you back this ingot of silver!" The sixth son took out the silver and stuffed it into Zhao Zhen's hand, "You gave it too much money!" There are too many, enough to buy my entire noodle stall. I agreed to treat you to eat noodles, and you left me the money, isn’t it contemptuous of me.”

Holding the silver, Zhao Zhen felt a little uncomfortable: "You just want to return the silver to me?"

Liu Zi felt that Zhao Zhen was unhappy, but he couldn't figure out why he was unhappy: "The money must be returned to you. But if you come to my place to eat noodles again, you will have to pay hahahaha."

Looking at the smirking Liuzi, Zhao Zhen walked around him and walked towards the stall.

Liu Zi followed behind him, thinking why he was so unhappy every time he saw this person, how could he make him happier?

Zhao Zhen sat at the table, and the six sons sat down next to him and asked, "You haven't told me your name yet?"

Zhao Zhen had long thought that he would ask this question, and originally planned to tell him by his real name, but now he just said, "Zhao Hua."

The six sons nodded and muttered: "Zhao Hua, that's a pretty good name. You see, there is a calligraphy in your name. Your paintings will definitely get better and better."

Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly: "I will work hard."

But Liu Zi said, "Why do I feel that you are more unhappy than last time?"

Zhao Zhen looked at him: "How do you know, I'm even more unhappy?"

The six sons smiled silly: "It's just a feeling."

Zhao Zhen lowered his eyes, looked at the silver in his hand and said, "My...uncle, I killed a man."

The six sons held Zhao Zhen's hand nervously: "Murder? He didn't hurt you, did he?"

Zhao Zhen glanced at the overlapping hands of the two, and Liu Zi's hands were obviously covered with calluses, which were dry and warm.He shook his head: "Actually, I don't believe uncle would kill someone."

Liu Zi breathed a sigh of relief, and let go of Zhao Zhen's hand: "Who did he kill? Did you report to the police?" Liu Zi put his hand under the table, and shook it unconsciously. A thought flashed through his mind: The hands are really soft and smooth.

Zhao Zhen said: "A woman...reported to the police."

The six sons comforted him and said: "Let's leave it to the government to investigate. After all, this is also the capital city. The officials are all very powerful, so they will definitely investigate clearly. Oh yes, aren't you an official? Why don't you go and walk around?" Walk around and ask someone to check it out."

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "My uncle has already admitted that he killed the person."

The six sons asked in surprise: "Ah? Admit it? Then how do you say he didn't kill it?"

Zhao Zhen said: "I can't figure out why he would kill people."

"Didn't he say why?"

Zhao Zhen still shook his head.

Liu Zi frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "By the way, didn't you tell me last time that you were the official who examined those scholars. It seems that a smart man named Bao Zheng broke the case of the former examiner , why don't you go find him and check it out!"

Zhao Zhen said: "You mean Cui Mingchong's case? It's really a pity for him... As for Bao Zheng, he should be far away in Luzhou now."

The six sons said: "Then you have to invite him to try it, it can be regarded as a glimmer of hope."

Zhao Zhen nodded: "Alright, I'll send someone to look for him tomorrow."

The sixth son smiled at him, and said tentatively: "I thought it was you in the case of Cui Mingchong last time. I thought to myself, if you were Taishi Pang's second son-in-law, why would you come to such a small noodle stall like me to eat noodles?" .I went to the yamen to check, and it really wasn't you."

Zhao Zhen asked him suddenly: "Do you care about me?"

The six sons were taken aback for a moment, but nodded: "Yes."

Zhao Zhen continued to ask him: "Why?"

Six sons scratched their heads: "Why..."

Zhao Zhen asked, "Just because you're afraid that you won't have the chance to pay me back the money?"

"No!" Liu Zi blurted out, and then he was stunned.

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Then tell me, why do you care about me who only met once?"

Looking at Zhao Zhen's eyes full of smiles, the six sons spoke out their thoughts: "I just miss you, I think about you every day. I want to see you again, chat with you, so that you can be happy every day Yes. Oh yes, I also want to make noodles for you."

After Liu Zi finished speaking, he lowered his head, and felt himself blushing for the first time.He sneaked a glance at Zhao Zhen, and found that the man's ears were red.The two remained silent, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little ambiguous.

【03】Traces of Confidence

Zhao Zhen broke the silence with a dry cough: "It's fine to make noodles, and everything else is fine."

Seeing that Zhao Zhen agreed, the six sons said cheerfully: "Then you have to come to my place often. Hey, no, why can't I make noodles for you?"

Zhao Zhen became the one who dared to tell the truth: "Because your noodles are really unpalatable."

The six sons couldn't believe it: "How is it possible! There are so many people who love to eat!"

Zhao Zhen shook his head: "I think they just want to chat with you. Haven't you tried your own noodles?"

"No, I don't like noodles." Liu Zi replied honestly, then got up and went to the noodle stall, "I don't believe that my cooking is so bad, I will try it!"

Liu Zi made a bowl of noodles for himself, then brought it to the table, tasted it and then spat it out, his face full of disbelief: "I really made it so unpalatable, they can't eat it!"

Zhao Zhen was amused by him: "Didn't you realize that the people who come to eat noodles with you just chat with you but don't eat noodles much?"

Liu Zi thought about it seriously, and it was really the case. He said with a mournful face, "I have to improve the technique of making noodles. I'm really, really sorry for everyone."

Zhao Zhen smiled: "When the noodles you make can be eaten by yourself, give them to me."

The six sons said: "Success! You work hard to draw your picture, and I will work hard to make my face!"

Zhao Zhen nodded, and heard Liu Zi say: "Then will you come to chat with me every day in the future? Or you don't have to do it every day, just order it often."

The six sons looked forward to looking at Zhao Zhen for the first time, the smile on Zhao Zhen's face faded, and after a long silence, he said: "I will try my best."

The six sons didn't dare to ask Zhao Zhen why he said "try his best", he was afraid that after he asked, Zhao Zhen would never come again.

The six sons changed the subject, and began to tell Zhao Zhen about their childhood and adulthood, picking out the interesting ones. Seeing Zhao Zhen being amused by him, the six sons felt that their hearts were also full of happiness.This kind of happiness is not as heartless as every day before, but the warmth and satisfaction of putting a person in my heart and treating it with my heart.

When Zhao Zhen said goodbye to Liu Zi, Liu Zi just nodded, then watched him leave without saying anything.

In the next few days, Zhao Zhen did not come out.
