"This is the new Taoist robe I made for you. You can change the one you are wearing and I will wash it for you." The poor man handed the newly made Taoist robe to Master Sanyang.

"Didn't I change this thing yesterday because I had to wash it? I've only worn it for a day and you have to wash it again?"

"Not only do the clothes need to be washed, but I also need to take off and wash the quilt. You go and change your clothes."

"Good disciple, it's time to have lunch. You can go after lunch." Master Sanyang arrived
"I'm not hungry, go and change clothes quickly," the poor boy urged.
Master Sanyang knew her temper and knew that he could not defeat her, so he had to go behind the screen and change his clothes.
When the pauper saw him come out after changing his clothes, he quickly took the dirty clothes from his hand with one hand, and tugged the hem of his clothes again and again with the other hand. "This one seems a bit too big. I'll give it to you tomorrow." You make one”

"You made me a new one in less than five days. Have you slept well recently? You wiped everything that can be wiped in my quiet room and washed everything that can be washed. Several times, take a break, Tongxiu can do it.”

"Master, I'm not tired..." The poor boy walked to the edge and picked up the quilt that had just been removed. "If I don't arrange you properly before I go back, how can I rest assured?"

Seeing the poor boy go out, Laibao sneaked into Sanyang Zhenren's quiet room and said, "Old Taoist Priest, have you seen this? My sister is not right..."

"Who has she seen in the past few days? What has she done?" Master Sanyang asked

"A few days ago, I rescued an old woman who died, and then she left with a tall and handsome man, and she didn't ask me to follow, and that's it when she came back." Noble said
"Man? Who is he?"

"I don't know who he is. He is very good at martial arts. His name is brother-in-law. The man with him is also very good at martial arts." Lai Baodao
"Brother-in-law? It seems that Pao'er is injured..." Master Sanyang arrived
"Injured? Where is the injury? I haven't seen her feel any discomfort in the past few days."

"She is hurt..."

"Then do you want to invite a doctor to come and take a look at her?" Laibao asked.

"She knows medical skills herself. There is no doctor on the street who can be better than her. Her illness cannot be cured by other doctors..."

"What are you talking about? It's weird." Laibao was confused by what Sanyang said.

"Humph! What does a little girl know?" Master Sanyang said, "Why haven't you gone to play with Chengzhe these days?"

"It's not wrong for me to look at my sister, I dare not leave..."

"You can go if you want. It doesn't matter to her. She will be fine in a few days." Master Sanyang arrived

At the residence of General Gan

"Okay, okay! Yes, yes, your martial arts skills are really incredible. You are worthy of being the beloved disciple of the old prince." General Gan was sitting in the yard, drinking tea while watching Tiedan'er and Chengzhe compete.
"Thanks to the old general for allowing me to live in your house these days, I have learned a lot. I am really grateful." Both of them stopped, Tiedan'er said to the old general with his hands over his hands.

"I just love young people like you, who are talented and willing to work hard, and I am willing to teach you as much as you want," the old general laughed.

"Then do young and old generals like me also like it?" Laibao happened to come over and heard what they said.
"Girl Laibao, you haven't been here for a long time..."

"Am I here now? Old General, please tell me, do you still like a young man like me?"

"What kind of young man are you? You're just a little girl." The old general handed the snack plate to Lu Bao.
Laibao took the plate and said, "You still said I was a little girl, you old thing..."

"Old thing? Hahahaha..." The old general laughed so hard that he spit out a mouthful of tea. "You are the only one in the entire northwest who dares to call me that." "Laibao! Don't be rude." Chengzhe stood with his hands hanging aside.
"That's all, that's all," the old general said, "You two will practice here today. She didn't come here just to hang out with you two. You go ahead."

After hearing this, the three of them bowed and said goodbye, then went out and walked down the street.

Xinglong Restaurant is a larger restaurant in Daliang City in the northwest. Even though it was a little past lunch time, the room was still almost full, and no one showed any intention of leaving.

The three of them sat at a table by the window of Xinglong Restaurant and ordered the most famous boiled mutton and mutton buns here. They also ordered a few side dishes. Before the two young masters could pick up their chopsticks, they saw someone coming. Miss Bao was holding the bun in her left hand and the chopsticks in her right hand, taking one bite of the bun and one bite of the dish, without caring about her own image. The two gentlemen were so shocked by her eating appearance that they forgot to eat and only looked at her with their chopsticks.
"Won't the old Taoist priest give you food?" Chengzhe asked

"My sister has been acting up these past few days. She washes and washes at home all day, stays up all day, and doesn't eat. It makes me unable to eat or sleep well..." Lai Bao said while eating.
"Did something happen to her?" Tiedan'er asked
"The old Taoist priest said she was injured."

"Where is it hurt?" Tiedan'er suddenly became worried.
"It's my heart, but I can't see any injuries. The old Taoist said I don't understand, so I don't ask you to be a doctor."

"Eat quickly, let's go back and take a look after dinner..." Tiedan'er arrived

Beside the well in the backyard of Taixu Taoist Temple, the poor man was vigorously waving a stick and beating the clothes on the edge of the well.

"Do you have any grudge against these clothes?" Tiedan'er grabbed Paoer's right wrist and raised the mallet.
"Why are you back?" Pao'er broke away from Tiedan'er's hand and continued to beat the clothes.
"I heard that Lai Bao said that you have fallen in love with washing clothes recently. If I didn't believe it, I came back to take a look. Who would have thought that you are actually washing clothes..." Tiedan'er sat by the well and looked at her.

"Yeah! It's fun to do laundry," said the poor boy.
"If you have something unpleasant in your heart, why don't you tell me about it? With me here, I will definitely not make you difficult for anything. You tell me, and I will help you solve it." Tie Dan'er looked down at the man who was beating his clothes desperately poor child

After hearing what he said, the pauper stopped his movements, wiped his face with the back of his right hand holding the mallet, and started beating the clothes again without raising his head.

Seeing her like this, Tie Dan'er turned to look at Lai Bao in confusion. Lai Bao spread his hands and shook his head, saying there was nothing he could do. Tie Dan'er looked at Cheng Zhe again.
Cheng Zhe understood, stepped forward and squatted next to the poor boy, "Sister!" Cheng Zhe called

Pao'er paused when she heard Chengzhe call her that. This was the first time she saw Chengzhe after knowing her life experience. His call of "sister" made Pao'er feel mixed in her heart. It turned out that the second lady had told her before Don't call them Master Chenghe and Chengzhe, just let her call them elder brother and younger brother. What's the point? She has received a lot of care from these two brothers since she was a child, either explicitly or covertly.
"Have you known this for a long time?" Pao'er asked

"What?" Chengzhe was stunned by her confusing question.
"My background..."

"I don't know much. I only found out a few days ago when Chenghe sent me a letter." Chengzhe arrived.
"You also know about the marriage?"

Chengzhe nodded.
"What marriage?" Tiedan'er was confused.
"His Majesty the Emperor wants to marry a poor boy to the king of the northwest, and we will have a good relationship for a hundred years." Cheng Zhe arrived.
"When did you receive the letter?" Tiedan'er was actually angry.
"Before...before...the day before yesterday..." Chengzhe was shocked by his anger.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't tell you, isn't it because I'm afraid you'll end up like this?" Chengzhe stood up and rubbed his sore calves.

"Do you have to get married? Can't you not get married? Do you really want to get married?" Tiedan'er pulled the poor boy up and asked
The poor girl's suppressed emotions have accumulated so much that her slender body can no longer hold any of them.
"You ask me? As a humble daughter of a slut, a person who is guarded by her relatives like the plague, a daughter who is treated like an animal by her father, what decision can I make for myself? I am such a lowly person. If a person can get married and still has some value to his relatives, shouldn't I bow down and cry with gratitude? How can I refuse? Do I have the right to say no? I have the right to choose Are you with someone?" Pao'er angrily threw the mallet in her hand to the ground, turned around and ran to her room, leaving three people behind who were stunned by her unprecedented anger.
