Zhongyi used to be a handsome scholar. It is said that when he was studying in the county, many girls didn't care about his poor family and wanted to marry him.So Yan Li was really curious about how ugly he is now, so Dongfang Bubai didn't even want to stay with him for a while longer.

And because of everyone's attitude, Yanli and Buyao believed that he was fine.Buyao is a person who doesn't think about anything after things are over, and now he is even more curious about how ugly Zhongyi is, but he can't get in, so he moved the table and chairs to Zhongyi's window, set up a small stove, Daily hot wine to make tea.

He also warmly invited Yanli to join him, but this month, Yanli sat outside with him once and said nothing.She has no internal strength, isn't it a pain to sit here?

Buyao thought she was squeamish, so he spit and taught her: "Pickled pears, you were not like this before. When we were in Shuzhou, when Uncle Yan came back from hunting in winter, you could quickly peel off the skins. The water is so cold. Ah, you never disliked it."

"It's two different things." Yan Li directly took Hua Manlou's arm, leaned on his arm, and said, "My seventh child is not willing to let me sit outside in the cold and wind and drink with you!"

Hua Manlou nodded earnestly, and then tried to persuade Don't you: "Eating wind can easily make you sick, Mr. Bu also pay attention to your body."

"After drinking this wine, it warms my stomach. Why is it cold?" Seeing that the invitation didn't move the two of them, Buyao naturally landed on another person present, completely out of touch, "Brother, how about you?" Come down from the roof, and we'll sit here and have some hot wine?"

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Buyao expressionlessly, and did not accept the invitation, but grabbed and retracted his hand towards his stove, and a jug of hot wine fell into his hand.

Buyao didn't mind, and put another pot on it with a smile. No matter how scary Dongfang Bubai is, isn't there Zhongyi here?

Yanli was also speechless to Buyao, who was so keen on dying and would never die, wrapped her body in a rabbit fur cape, and took Hua Manlou's hand to go out to buy new year's goods.

They must not be able to return to Peach Blossom Castle in time for the Chinese New Year this year. They sent a letter to their family a few days before Huamanlou, telling the elders that they will go back after the Chinese New Year, and the others are not people who will make good preparations for the Chinese New Year, so the two of them just Take this job.

To be exact, it was Yanli who volunteered.She was very interested in shopping with Huamanlou and preparing things for the New Year together, and Huamanlou followed her in everything, so the two came out together.

Food and drink were prepared, so they bought some red paper and melon seed candies and went back. After shopping for a long time, they had another meal outside.

After going back, Yanli drove Buyao away from his desk, put the Four Treasures of the Study on the shop, and Hua Manlou wrote couplets and blessings according to her request.

Buyao saw that Huamanlou wrote the battle neatly, not to mention that the gaps between each word were exactly the same size. Those who didn't believe in evil also took a brush and copied the same few words on paper, and they were punished before they finished copying. Laughing: "I didn't even think about writing it in the past, Buyao, don't you have any points for yourself?"

Buyao was so angry that he threw away the pen and retorted: "I don't rely on this for a living."

Both of them can only read characters, unlike Zhong Yi who practiced calligraphy for the imperial examination, the chicken chop characters of the two of them have never been laughed at by anyone, but now Buyao obviously has no self-knowledge...

Old doctor Tu came over to give Zhongyi a follow-up consultation at this time, passed by here and saw Buyao's writing, he sighed faintly, walked past his door without saying a word, opened the door and entered the room.

When Buyao saw this, he was so angry that he barked his teeth and claws, but he couldn't do anything to the old doctor. If he said something to make the old man angry, then no one would see Zhongyi.

When Old Doctor Tu came out again, he said to several people: "Master Zhong's illness has improved, but he still can't let the wind blow. Don't drag him outside for too long during the Chinese New Year."

This means that Zhongyi is going to come out during the Chinese New Year, Yanli and Buyao looked at each other, counting the days and waiting to see Zhongyi.But when they saw him, both of them fell silent.

Zhongyi's complexion was sallow, her eye sockets were sunken, and the robe she was wearing hung empty on her body, giving her the strange feeling of a child stealing an adult's clothes.

"I finally believe it, you are really ugly now." Buyao said what was in his mind directly, and found that Zhongyi looked unhappy, and immediately said, "It's okay to be ugly, we don't dislike you .”

Zhongyi didn't feel honored, pushed away his hand that was holding her, and said speechlessly: "You are so narrow, is it your attitude towards a patient?"

Bu Yao stretched out his arm to borrow Zhong Yi's strength, and at the same time squeezed his fleshless shoulder, saying: "To be honest, you can't let your mother see you like this, you have to cry in fright, your son doesn't look like your own." gone."

Zhongyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but when he heard about his mother, she turned to Yanli and said, "Ali, thank you for taking care of my mother while I'm in Yuzhou."

"Thank you, it's all right." Yan Li shook her head nonchalantly, and continued, "The people who are going to take care of you don't dare to say anything. My aunt has been very worried about you. You should take good care of yourself and go take a look. her."

After hearing this, Zhongyi sighed, "What Bu Yao said is also reasonable. My mother must be sad when she sees me at this time, and when I recover, I have to go back to Beijing to return to my life. It's really not that bad A lot of time."

"You read a lot, and you know the truth of 'children want to support but not relatives'. I know that you are dedicated to the people, but haven't you discovered it yet? There is nothing you can do by yourself."

Yanli is very dissatisfied with the court's actions this time. The feudal dynasty doesn't care about human rights at all. Her world once told her that every life is valuable and cannot be given up, but this is not the case here. They will do it for their own benefit. give up on anyone.

But Zhongyi had a different opinion. He hated those martial arts people who left Yuzhou recklessly regardless of the names of the people. Regardless of whether the real reason was with them, it was a fact that people infected with the plague appeared outside Yuzhou since they left Yuzhou.

Buyao didn't care so much, he just persuaded Zhongyi to let him resign.Zhong Yi smiled and refused, "I want to try again."

No one can convince anyone, this matter can only be shelved for the time being.On New Year's Eve, a large table of dishes was prepared, Zhong Yixu couldn't eat too much because of the tonic, but the others ate and drank to their fullest.

There was a patient who treated the custom of vigil on New Year's Eve as non-existent. They sat around for a while, and Yan Li proposed to send Zhong Yi back to rest.Zhongyi didn't refuse either, and went back to his room with Yanli's support.

"Ali, how did you and Buyao get that cowhide roll?"

Yan Li poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him without concealing it, "It was found in the secret room of my grandfather's old house, and there was a bone inside. He left a word on the ground during his lifetime, saying that it was the Changzhou Mutiny. I asked the young master to come out, but the young master died of illness, he wanted revenge, but was killed by my grandfather."

Later, she had nothing to do to find out what happened to the Changzhou disease. It was during the reign of the late emperor. The late emperor had a younger brother who was fief in Changzhou. He was ambitious and restless. suppressed.

There is no record in the historical records that the prince and his children escaped, and the person in the secret room said he was dead, so the fake death must be real.And Yanli felt that regardless of whether the cowhide scroll was the treasure map Bu Yao mentioned, the world is peaceful now, except for the disputes between the court and the martial arts, there are only small disturbances at the border, so it must not be able to do much.

Zhongyi nodded thoughtfully, and said: "Ah Li, whether this cowhide roll is useful or not will not be decided until I hand it over to His Majesty, please tell Buyao so that he does not casually talk about it. "

"I'll tell him." After Yan Li finished speaking, she remembered something and said, "I also got a sword at that time, I kept it, and I will give it to you as well."

"it is good."

Yan Li saw the tiredness on his face, told him to take a good rest and left the house.As soon as she stepped out of Zhongyi's courtyard, she saw Huamanlou standing in the night and smiling at her softly, "Ali, do you want to go to the street to watch the lanterns?"

A smile broke out on Yan Li's face, she trotted a few steps to Huamanlou, interlocked his fingers, led him along and said, "Then let's go, it should be lively right now."

The night market is on the main street of the city. Even though there is no moon, it is still brightly lit. People are coming and going, and it is very noisy. It seems that it has completely walked out of the haze of this year's disaster.

Yanli and Huamanlou walked around holding hands, and occasionally met a girl staring at Huamanlou on the road, so she deliberately showed a little intimacy, and Huamanlou would always cooperate with her and let Yanli look at the girl Their expressions are even more joyful.

Later, when she walked to a mask-making booth, Yanli rolled her eyes, chose the ugliest and most terrifying mask, paid for it, held it up in front of Hua Manlou's face, and said with a smile, "That's all right! Everyone is afraid of it." You, no girl will stare at my Qitong!"

Hua Manlou curled up the corners of her lips behind the mask, took out a few copper coins from her purse and handed them to the boss, slid her fingers across the masks, finally chose one and handed it to her, and said softly: "Then Ali needs it too." Wear one."

Yan Li looked at the mask in her hand, and felt that it was a natural fate, otherwise, why did the mask Hua Manlou chose look like a pair with the one she chose, except for one red and one blue, there was almost no difference?

Each of the two wore a terrifying ghost face, and there were still people who looked at them, but most of them probably thought it was scary, and they would avoid it if they came face to face.

They were walking in the middle of the night market so contentedly, when suddenly Yanli stopped, patted Hua Manlou's arm, pointed to the back of a little girl in front of her and said, "Why do I look like Buyao?"

Hua Manlou listened carefully, nodded after a while and said, "It's Mr. Bu."

Yan Li approached slowly without making a sound, just standing quietly behind Buyao like Hua Manlou and heard——

The girl was young but very beautiful, and her clothes and accessories seemed to be of great value. She held Buyao's wrist tightly, but insisted in a soft tone: "At that time, you were the only one standing behind me. You said it wasn't you, but He also said that he didn’t see who it was, but I didn’t believe it.”

"You are unreasonable!" Bu Yao wanted to pull out his wrist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free, and said angrily, "Your martial arts are so good! How could I steal your purse? I see you Looks like a scammer!"
