Chapter 66 An undercurrent surged

. Baili Xi's eyes were clear, and he said with a smile on his lips: "What is the relationship between Mr. Meng and Ming Jue? Of course I am the same."

When Meng Helan heard this, he sneered: "He and I His relationship is naturally different from yours."

He paused and looked at him with a scrutinizing look: "He has a good heart and didn't notice you. I'm not stupid. I just wanted you to stay at Wenchang Temple yesterday. It's unusual. Tell me, what is your purpose in approaching him?"

Baili Xi said with a calm face and a smile: "Humanity says that the charming Mr. Meng is the most considerate and tender. But now it seems that he is the same as the rumored one. It’s no wonder that Ming Jue said that you are a bit difficult to get along with.”

Meng Helan’s eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and his expression was a little gloomy, but he returned to normal after a moment, “It goes without saying that it is such a simple way to sow discord. Although I, Meng Helan, don’t like to read. But he's not a fool."

After a pause, he continued: "I don't care what your purpose is in approaching him. From now on, stop seeing him. If you are discovered by me, I will never forgive you. "

Baili Xi's face remained calm after hearing this, and he still whispered: "Whether we meet Mr. Su together is our own business. Mr. Su has hired me to write for him, and I think we will meet more in the future. "

Baili Xi chuckled when he said this: "If Mr. Meng feels it's inappropriate, I'll have to tell Mr. Su personally and let him reject me face to face."

Meng Helan looked unbelieving when he heard this: "Hire you . Are you talking nonsense about writing? Although he doesn't like reading, he always writes his own words and never asks anyone to

write for him!" Baili ridiculed: "Who said I did the homework for him? Mr. Su found it himself. I said that he wants to have a study room and publish a book and ask me to copy it for him."

Meng Helan was even more confused after hearing this: "How come I haven't heard him mention the publishing of a book?"

Baili Xi put his hand on his chin and smiled tremblingly after hearing this, "Meng Helan Didn't the young master say that he has a very good relationship with Mr. Su? Why hasn't he told you about writing a book yet?"

Meng Helan looked slightly absent-minded, and then said calmly, "It's just copying books for others. If you have anything to say, maybe He thinks that you are from a poor background, so he hired you to write some words to supplement the family income. He has always been kind-hearted, so it is not impossible to do this."

The carriage sped along, wandering down the bluestone road.

Meng Helan and Baili Xi had an unhappy chat here, but the master and servant had a very happy conversation.

Su Xiaoliu looked at Su Mingjue's collar and found a red mark on his neck as expected. He said distressedly: "Master, you see there is a red mark on your body again. That Wenchang Temple bed is not good and cannot be compared to our own.

Su Mingjue squinted his eyes and said, "You said you were outside, how can you compare with home?"

"Then let me look at your shoulders. Mr. Lu and Mr. Rong both specifically told me to apply medicine on you. " "

Su Mingjue didn't move and let Su Xiaoliu undress for inspection, but she was quite surprised by the two names he mentioned. "You just talked to them."

Su Xiaoliu responded while untying his clothes: "Well, Xiaoliu happened to just wake up when he came in."

Thinking of the scene he saw in the morning, Su Xiaoliu couldn't help but blush again.

Su Mingjue was not surprised at all that Rong Zheng would give such instructions. After all, he had always been careful and considerate.

What surprised him was that Lu Shaoyu actually gave an unprecedented warning.

This seemingly solemn and upright Living King of Hell actually had such a considerate side.

But the next moment he remembered, oh, yesterday he seemed to have said that he wanted to protect him to investigate a case, so that makes sense.

Su Mingjue thought about it and retracted his thoughts. When he raised his eyes, he found that Su Xiaoliu's face was flushed. He wondered: "Why are you blushing this early in the morning?"

Su Xiaoliu's eyelashes quivered a few times and he calmed down. After checking it carefully, he said: "No...it's nothing that the young master's shoulders look scary, but maybe it's because of the medicine, but it turned out to be just a big red."

Su Mingjue: Apply two times. Is it okay to plant medicine?

Although the injury was not serious, Su Xiaoliu's eyes were still red. He said with some distress: "Maybe Xiaoliu's colorful rope was delivered late, which made the young master suffer."

As he said that, he took out a colorful rope from his arms and said, "I made this specially for the young master. It has been ordained. Wearing this will protect the young master from illness and disaster."

Su Xiaoliu said After that, he tied it on Su Mingjue, but he was surprised to find that his young master had a colorful rope tied on his wrist. He exclaimed: "Master, did you tie a colorful rope on it this morning?"

Su Mingjue only reacted after hearing this. I don't know when a colorful rope woven from green, white, red, black and yellow was tied on her fair wrist. It looked quite white.

He shook his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "I don't know what tied it on."

Su Xiaoliu thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be done by Mr. Rong. When I came in, I saw him pulling on the young master's sleeve."

Su Mingjue looked at it . Looking at the colorful rope in front of him, he chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that he would also pay attention to this."

Su Xiaoliu saw that he had one tied on his left wrist, so he tied another one on his right wrist: "Although the young master has already tied one "But Xiaoliu still hopes that the young master will have one more to keep him safe."

Su Mingjue did not refuse. There is a custom of tying colored ropes during the Dragon Boat Festival. The five colors represent metal, wood, water, earth and fire, and they can also ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters. It is considered to be people's good wishes for good luck and blessings.

"Are the glutinous rice and Ruo Ye ready?"

Su Xiaoliu nodded: "Huahua and Yingying prepared it yesterday, and they are just waiting for the young master to go back."

Su Mingjue said: "I don't know whether they are preparing materials from the north or the south. "

Su Xiaoliu shook his head, "I don't know about that."

The carriage passed the city gate, headed south, and finally stopped in front of Mingyuan.

Several people got out of the car and walked into the courtyard together.

Walking in from the gate, mugwort and calamus are hung on the eaves and window lattice. Although the owner is not at home, the festive atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival is still very strong.

Su Mingjue looked at these decorations, and felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Although this festival is celebrated in modern times, the atmosphere is far different from it, and it is far from the taste of ancient times.

When they walked to the main house, Huahua and Yingying were pasting up the five poisons. The red windows were covered with yellow paper, which looked a bit funny.

The so-called "Five Poisons" refers to using yellow paper to draw images of five poisonous insects, including scorpions, geckos, centipedes, snakes and toads, and then pasting them on doors, windows and walls, which means to drive away the five poisons.

Seeing that Huahua couldn't stick it to a high place, Su Mingjue stretched out her hand and said, "I've finished sticking these five poisons."

Hearing a familiar voice, Huahua turned around and said, "It's already stuck."

Su Mingjue raised her hand and finished sticking it . , then walked in, "Bring the glutinous rice and Ruo leaves to the yard, let's make rice dumplings together."

Huahua said "hey", and soon there was a pile of Ruo leaves and glutinous rice on the stone table in the courtyard.

Su Mingjue looked at the things inside and said with a smile: "I originally thought about having a dispute between the north and the south, but I didn't expect you to be smart and prepare both sweet and salty ones."

Yingying opened a leaf in her hand and said: "I didn't know about it originally, but Xiao Liu took one look and said why this was different from what he ate in Jinling City, so I prepared it again."

Meng Helan listened from the side and said, "I haven't eaten the rice dumplings from the south yet. Today I want to try how to be different from Xiaoliu Jiaoye."
