Startled Meng

"Master, lunch is ready."

Xiao Qing came into the study and asked Yu Fangzhi to eat, Yu Fangzhi nodded, put down the pen and ledger in his hand, got up and followed Xiao Qing to the front hall.

Xiao Qing was leading the way in front, but suddenly turned around and walked back, Yu Fangzhi reached out and grabbed his collar: "Where are you going?"

Xiao Qing yelled and explained: "Hey, I almost forgot to call Master Yan..."

Yu Fangzhi held Xiao Qing by the back collar and told him to turn back: "You wait in the front hall, I'll call."

"Okay! Young master, you can go!" Xiaoqing walked for a while, happy, and ran away.

He knows and enjoys the language, but he doesn't know why he is so happy. Along the way, the birdcages hanging in the corridor were almost smashed by his palm.

It's not that he's boasting, his house is very good, he's recuperating very well, the pavilions and pavilions are transparent and bright, and the rockery flowers and plants in the backyard have a different kind of vitality even in summer.

In the past few days, apart from recuperating in his room, Yan Cijing spent time in the backyard to breathe. He occupied the couch of the imperial concubine in the small pavilion, so Yu Fangzhi had to go back to the study to do some work.

As soon as I stepped through the archway, I saw him smiling.

Yan Cijing's appearance is very good, soft and smooth from the brow bone to the bridge of the nose, with clear eyebrows and eyes.Yu Fangzhi once misunderstood him as a fragile jade, but the prison did not damage his demeanor, on the contrary, it made him more resilient.

He didn't seem to know that he was born to attract attention, so he laughed when he wanted to, and covered half of his face with a book, revealing a pair of soft smiling eyes, but after hearing a few chuckles, Yu Fangzhi felt the fresh fragrance of the garden They all rushed towards themselves.

Yu Fangzhi couldn't disturb him, staring at his thin body, he saw that Yan Ci's mirror image seemed to have eyes on his back, suddenly turned his head to look, most of the smile on his face was gone, and the rest was full In the eye sockets, it melted into a pair of watery eyes.

Yan Cijing asked him, "What's wrong?"

"Dinner, the front hall." Yu Fangzhi put his hands behind his back, repeatedly twirling a flower with his fingers.

Du Yan, who was by his side, heard this, and hurriedly poured out all the broken petals in his pocket, only grabbed a crabapple in his hand, and went to help Yan Cijing to stay on the bed with the other hand.

Yan Cijing walked by and asked, "Why do you keep this flower?"

Du Yan giggled and signed in sign language, but he didn't know how to understand the language, Yan Cijing helped to explain: "He saw a lot of flowers falling in your courtyard, so he picked them up and put them in his pocket, and the rest were broken petals. , only this crabapple is a whole one, it's a pity to lose it."

Yu Fangzhi asked again, "What were you laughing at just now?"

Yan Cijing had already returned to his usual calm appearance: "It's a small matter, it's nothing."

Yu Fangzhi asked, Yan Cijing explained that it was because Du Yan brought too many flowers and the fragrance was too mixed, so he smoked himself into two big sneezes, Yan Cijing looked funny.

Keep asking, know but don't speak, Yan Cijing can't see through him, in fact, Yu Fangzhi is secretly angry, the boy can make him laugh by picking up flowers, how can he lose his face when he meets others?

Yan Cijing didn't know what he was thinking, so he just ate with peace of mind, being urged by the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, his appetite was very good.

Yu Fang knew that he was used to eating big fish and meat, so it was rare for him to eat a few more mouthfuls of light onion tofu, and praised: "Tofu is delicious, who made it?"

Xiaoqing said it was made by Juniper, but Juniper nodded embarrassedly.

Yu Fang smiled: "No wonder Lord Yan values ​​you so much. Your cooking skills are good. Vegetarian dishes are well cooked, and meat dishes must be even better."

Juniper waved his hand: "Young Master Yu praised it because before my lord was promoted, food and clothing were cheap, and there were only a few vegetarian dishes. Fresh."

It turned out that it was forced by life, Yu Fang didn't know if he ate a few more pieces of tofu, turned his face and saw that Yan Cijing had put down the bowl and chopsticks, and the servants around him were silent, so he quickly took a look at Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing nodded, and went to serve Yan Cijing soup: "My lord, try the chicken soup that has been boiled all morning."

Yan Cijing refused: "I already..."

Xiaoqing snatched his bowl: "This is not ordinary chicken soup, it's a medicinal diet, with a lot of medicinal ingredients, it doesn't taste greasy at all."

"actually, I……"

"My lord is not in good health yet, let's drink."

"Actually no—"

"Does your lord think that Xiao Qingsheng is too short? Then Xiaoqing will fill it up for you again!"

"No no, I drink."

In the afternoon, the boys were drowsy, and Yu Fangzhi was busy in the study alone.

He hasn't been in charge of the shop for a long time, and the account books sent by the shopkeepers are sloppy again. He has a headache when he sees the mess, but he can't ignore it. .

The closed door was not well lit, Yu Fangzhi kept the door open, when suddenly his vision dimmed, he knew someone had come in.

The person who came was very quiet, walked around the desk and stood next to him, ordinary servants were not so bold, and Xiao Qing would not wander around empty-handed when he came in.

Yu Fangzhi didn't lift his head, and ordered: "When you come, grind the ink, what are you doing standing there?"

Scholars are the best at studying ink, and the ink sticks are turned around on the inkstone to produce deep black ink, faintly reflecting a pair of slender hands.

Yu Fangzhi muttered in his mouth: "I can't remember clearly when I went out of the warehouse or into the warehouse. There are still oil stains on the ledger. Has the cloth shop changed to an oil shop?"

Then he said: "Secretly erase the deficit, and pretend I can't figure it out?"

Papa quickly counted his abacus, hooked his little finger, stopped, looked up, and met Yan Cijing's eyes looking down, he hurriedly said: "I almost forgot, my lord is an official of the Ministry of Accounts, the account book can be You can't show it to adults."

Yu Fang knew that he was going to close the account book, so Yan Cijing stopped studying and said, "I forgot that I was suspended, but I don't forget that I was on duty in the household department. Boss Yu is quite vengeful."

Both of them recalled the scene of their first official meeting. The scene was not very good. Yu Fangzhi remembered his actions that day, and couldn't hold back his face. Good neighbor, you won't make things difficult for me in the future."

"Embarrassing you?" Yan Cijing said, "I probably won't be reinstated."

"That's a good relationship." Yu Fangzhi smiled, "Yan Cijing, you will stay at my house and spend the day chatting with me."

The lord stopped barking, and called Yan Cijing, and he was still grinning, as if they were good brothers who had known each other for a long time, meeting shoulder to shoulder to go drinking and having fun.

If the two of them were sons of ordinary families, Yan Cijing would definitely agree with Yu Fangzhi, but unfortunately they were not.

"Master Bi...is that you?"

Yu Fangzhi's smile faded: "Yes."

Xia Changying once mentioned Yan Cijing that Bi Zhixing was a trustworthy person, but he had never had the opportunity to meet and get in touch with him, so he was unexpectedly invited by Yu Fangzhi this time.

Yu Fangzhi: "If it wasn't for Master Bi's help, saving you would only be a risk."

Yan Cijing: "What?"

The language doesn't seem like a joke: "Prison robbery."

Yan Cijing couldn't stand his gaze, so he looked away: "The crime doesn't lead to death, so what kind of prison is it?"

Yu Fangzhi remembered the last time they met in prison, and asked, "You...why didn't you ask me to save you?"

"Huh?" Yan Cijing thought seriously, "At that time, the imperial examination was over, and the emperor won't have much interest in the old case. He just waited for the end. Zheng Lang died in prison again, and the review of me was much more relaxed. so……"

Yu Fangzhi looked at him: "That's not what I asked."

Yan Cijing was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Why didn't you ask me to save you?"

Yan Cijing thought that he would be able to pass by fooling around, but he didn't expect that Yu Fangzhi would continue to question. He wanted to continue to prevaricate, but seeing Yu Fangzhi's expression, he forgot even the excuse he just thought up, so he could only pursed his lips and watched. he.

Is it so difficult to answer?Putting on an aggrieved and helpless look, Yu Fangzhi suddenly smiled: "Your Excellency, don't take it seriously, I'm just kidding you."

No one knew if they were joking, and no one laughed out loud.

Yu Fangzhi stood up: "These account books are like the old lady's foot wraps, don't look at them, I want to go out for a walk, my young master, to relieve boredom."

As soon as he got out of the study, Xiao Qing chased after him: "Master, where are you going to relieve your boredom? Xiao Qing also wants to go!"

"Where are you going? Isn't it enough to talk about your Yufeng all day long?"

"Master! Where did you go? It's so scary..."

"What kind of place do men go if they don't go there?"

The sky didn't have a secret word, so he clamored to have fun, no one could persuade him, he was a dandy and didn't run away.

Yan Cijing also left the study and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived.

After entering the courtyard, he saw Du Yan but not Juniper. After asking, he found out that Juniper had gone to work with the housekeeper. Yan Cijing nodded and told Du Yan that he was going out for a walk.

Du Yan was worried, so he held on to Yan Cijing's sleeve, Yan Cijing said: "It's okay, I can go by myself, I'll be around, don't go far."

The author says:

Yu Fangzhi: Where are you going?

Yan Cijing: I won't tell you, anyway, I'm not going to catch an adulterer.
