Great Sui Storyteller

Chapter 355. 354.
Liu Ding was quite disappointed.

see it.

But Li Zhen didn't continue to dwell on this topic. After wiping his back, he put a bath bean on his body, rinsed it with water, and took a shower.

And Liu Ding, who was nimble in his hands and feet, had already started wiping the table with a rag.

Seeing this, Li Zhen held a porridge jar, sat at a table that had just been wiped and said to him:

"Just wipe it down, it won't open for a few days."

"……what?"

Liu Ding was taken aback.

Feeling the taste of preserved egg and lean meat porridge in his mouth, which is somewhat similar to the white rice porridge that will bloom in later generations, but also somewhat different, he said:

"Sir, my teacher wants to take me out for a period of time. It's hard to say when I will leave and when I will return. But it should not exceed the time of His Majesty Jiangnan..."

"...Your Majesty is going to Jiangnan?"

Obviously, for the people at the bottom, they don't know His Majesty's movements at all.

Li Zhen didn't explain much, just nodded:
"Well, when the river water boils, we should open at that time. And these days, you can come here every now and then to clean up. I will write a sign at the door to explain the reason, and we will open as usual when I come back. And You will not be short of money during this time, as usual. You can still help your mother's business, okay?"

"There is still money!?"

Seeing his appearance, Li Zhen laughed:
"Haha, little money fan... well, the porridge tastes really good. But... didn't I teach you? This porridge needs to be soaked in advance, and it takes longer to cook. The rice needs to bloom. Also, why is there no broken oil? Scum?"

"Oil is too expensive... Mother can't bear to let it go..."

"That can't be done. If you eat like this, you will eat fresh. After a long time, it will look dull if there is no oil... Liu Ding. That's how it is in business. Treat customers with sincerity, and you can buy and sell. Chang Yuan. You can’t just look in front of your eyes for a while, you know?”

"Yeah, then when I go back, I will tell my mother to add the oil residue."

"Um……"

Putting the spoon into the crock, and putting on a straw rope, Li Zhen wiped his mouth:

"I'm going to pack my clothes."

"Um... ah, yes, yes, sir, sir!"

"how?"

Looking at the half-grown child who was a little panicked and seemed to have just remembered something, Li Zhen asked in bewilderment:

"what happened?"

"Lord Hongying!"

Pointing in the direction of the beast pen, Liu Ding said quickly:
"On the second day of junior high school, I thought that my husband would come back, so I wanted to come to say New Year greetings to my husband, but when my husband didn't come back, I happened to meet Mrs. Hongying at the door. Wasn't it snowing that day... She... seemed to have been waiting for you for a long time , the snow on her body was very thick. She stood at the door and waited for the husband. When she saw me, the adult asked me if I saw the husband, and I said no... She nodded and left without saying anything..."

"Oh, well, I see."

Seeing that Li Zhen didn't seem to take it seriously, Liu Ding asked again:

"Then, is the gentleman going to find Master Hongying later?"

"Well……"

Li Zhen thought for a while, then shook his head:

"I can't find it anymore."

"Then if I meet again in the future..."

"Just say that your husband hasn't come back. I don't know where he went~"

"……what?"

It could be seen that Liu Ding was quite confused.

But Li Zhen still shook his head:

"That's all...especially if you see her with someone else."

"Another person?"

"Well, it's a woman, she's... very handsome! Not inferior to me! And if this woman is in front and Hongying is beside her... If they don't see you, you should leave quickly. If they see you Just say you haven’t seen me, you know?”

"...???"

Liu Ding didn't know what to say for a while due to the complicated information.

After reacting for a while, he nodded:

"understood."

"Well. Here."

After giving Liu Ding the key to the door lock, Li Zhen went straight back to the house and started packing.

Looking at the unfinished taoist robe at the bottom of the press box... there was some strange emotion in the Taoist priest's eyes.Can eventually dissipate without a trace.

Carefully wrapped the unfinished Taoist robe with cloth, he recalled the camphor wood wardrobe in Jingzhen Palace, after hesitating for a moment, he still put the money box into the bag.

This place is empty.

He was really afraid that after a long time, he would be missed.

It doesn't matter if you rummage through boxes and boxes.

If this suit gets dirty... he'll really eat people.

After tidying up everything, he put on the Taoist robe that had been washed to the point of whitishness, and looked at Liu Ding who was still clearing the table, Li Zhen said:

"I'm leaving."

"Yeah, okay. Don't worry, sir, I'm here for everything in Chunyou Club!"

"Ah."

After answering, Li Zhen walked directly to the front door.

After leaving the gate of the courtyard, he wanted to go back to the south gate to get the horse, and by the way, he had something to say to Qin Qiong.

Although Lieutenant Jianjie's official position in the army is not high, he is still a senior official for ordinary soldiers, so he can't say he knows him... But if someone brings a message, he can definitely bring it.

but……

Just after he was discharged from the hospital, his footsteps stopped...

The figure in red who was about to come up under the stone steps also stopped.

From the heartfelt joy at the beginning, to the frowning when he saw the Taoist carrying a burden and looking like he was going to run away...

Hongying asked:

"Where are you going!"

"Uh……"

Li Laodao, who just finished explaining to Liu Ding, opened his mouth...

I looked up at the sky again...

Finally, with a shake of his shoulders, he took off the burden and said:

"Come in and talk."

……

"Sir? ... Huh?"

When Liu Ding, who was working hard, saw the woman in red walking in with the husband who had gone and returned, he was a little silly.

no……

You... Didn't you even say that you won't let me tell Master Hongying that you have been back?

Why did you find it by yourself?
"Go and make a pot of tea, and then you can go home."

"Uh... ok!"

Putting the rag on his shoulders, the discerning child hurried to the kitchen.

There is still some boiling water in the pot that Mr. Boiled just now.

After scooping it out, he came directly with the teapot and two cups with the tea leaves in it... For some reason, he was sitting next to the two people who were sitting opposite each other. Dried beans and fruits, but saw my husband waved his hand directly...

"Sir, Master Hongying, the little one will go first."

Carrying the empty earthen jar, Liu Ding trotted out of the yard and closed the door behind him.

In an instant, the courtyard returned to silence.

Only a pair of men and women sitting at the square table were left.

"..."

Hongying looked at the Taoist with a frown, her eyes from the other person's face full of vitality and health, to the burden on the stool next to her...

"I've been keeping the soldiers of the Zhen Beast Pen on the lookout. When they saw you coming back, they hurried to notify me. The door master's injury was not healed and he couldn't go down to the ground, so I didn't tell him and came here by myself. .”

"Ah."

Li Zhen nodded:
"Is it okay?"

"...This time it was a skin trauma, and the Zongheng family did keep their hands. But... the new injury and the old injury were added together, so it was a bit serious. But His Majesty sent several imperial doctors to take care of it at any time, and it is estimated that the cultivation In about March, seven or eight can be recovered."

Hearing Hongying's words, Li Zhen inevitably turned his eyes to the table.

Not looking at the table, but subconsciously wanting to look at her belly.

"What about you?"

"Puncture wound, the wound hasn't healed yet, but it's fine."

Hongying continued to shake her head, and then asked:

"Where are you... going? Where have you been these few days? Why didn't you notify me as soon as you came back?"

"These days are on Fragrant Hills."

Choose one of the three, and he chooses a question that can be answered.

But I saw the woman's hand on the table clenched for some reason.

A worried voice sounded in my ears:

"Your injury... is it okay?"

"Not an injury."

Smiling and shaking his head, after pouring her a cup of tea, Li Zhencai said:
"It's just that the spiritual sense is exhausted and I'm out of strength. I slept...from the day I slept on the [-]th day to the second day of the new year, and I recovered."

call……

After feeling the strained heart loosen, Hongying breathed a sigh of relief soundlessly.

Looking at the sunny appearance of the Taoist with a chuckle, he suddenly coughed twice:

"Cough cough..."

But not weak, but like... covering up something.

Then, when the next question was asked, she didn't dare to look the Taoist in the eyes.

"Where are you going?"

"You know Xuan Suning, right?"

"Ah."

"Do you know what happened on the eve of the year?"

"..."

The woman's hands clenched a little more.

"Sorry……"

"……Um?"

Li Laodao, who was originally talking about the cunning pollution of the dragon's veins that Xuan Suning said was taken aback.

"Sorry for what?"

"...We shouldn't...involve you...this time...Li Shilang got really angry...I don't know how dangerous that night was...I'm sorry...it's my fault... ...I shouldn't..."

"Hongying."

Looking at the woman with her head bowed in front of her, Li Zhen suddenly remembered the first time she met her.

That red dress, black armor, and those two unreasonable long legs.

At that time, this girl had a heroic and glamorous demeanor, looking at her made her look sassy!

It's a world of difference from what it is now... like a little girl.

So, he interrupted Hongying's apology, and said with a smile:

"We are friends. No matter what Pegasus City is like, you, Shangnian and the others are all my friends. Isn't it normal for me to stab you twice when a friend is in trouble? Why do you apologize?"

"...Hit us twice?"

The woman looked up, but she didn't respond.

The Taoist nodded his head:
"That's right, a friend came from afar, whipped him dozens of times, stabbed him twice, and drove him away!"

"...?"

Seeing that the woman didn't seem to understand, Li Zhen thought about it... and then came a sentence:
"Shooting two knives for a friend!"

"...Shouldn't it be a stab at both sides?"

"..."

The cold joke told a lonely Taoist who was speechless.

Looking at the other party's increasingly suspicious eyes, suddenly, he laughed out loud:
"Haha~"

"why are you laughing?"

"fine……"

The Taoist shook his head, and his smile grew more emotional:
"Well, that's right. This is the Hongying in my heart~ the sassy dual-knife heroine~ how wonderful~ isn't it?"

"..."

Look at the smile on Taoist's face with emotion.

What he heard was his specious but somewhat relaxed joking words.

for no reason...

Hongying felt that her ears were a little hot.
