When I left the leopard's house, the sky was already full of stars, the city had already been curfew, the streets were very empty, and occasionally fifty percent of the soldiers and horses patrolled by.

Zhang Zhijie did not gallop his horse, because he was afraid of causing panic in such a quiet night. Occasionally, people who met fifty percent of the soldiers and horses passed by, and when they saw these dozens of cavalry brocade guards, they didn't dare to come forward to interrogate, so they avoided it from a distance.

It was until the Shouning Hou Mansion that the Shouning Hou Mansion had already been closed and locked at this time. Zhang Zhijie dismounted and said with a smile: "Okay, you will all go and rest!" ”

Magnolia and they dismounted and agreed, but they did not leave immediately, and they would not be relieved until they saw Zhang Zhijie enter the mansion.

Zhang Zhijie stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, but fortunately, the rules in the house have always been very strict, and there was no such thing as calling the door for a long time and no one responded.

Immediately there was a sound inside, and after a while a voice rang out: "Who? ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "I! ”

The three people inside were standing behind the door, and the mother-in-law who was talking about Zhao Si's family just now was chatting happily, and there were still people coming in the middle of the night. At this time, the person who shouted out was a little speechless when he heard this answer, and actually replied "I", I know who you are!

The man was a little impatient, and was about to ask again when he was suddenly pulled, and the face of the person next to him changed greatly and he whispered: "Why does it sound like the voice of the second master!" ”

The man was stunned and thought about it carefully, it was really a bit similar, and the other person whispered, "Can't it?" Isn't the second master in Jiangnan? Didn't I hear that the second master is going back to Beijing? Otherwise, it would have spread all over the house! ”

The two of them listened to it like this, but the first person who heard what looked like Zhang Zhijie's voice was still a little sure, and whispered: "I think it looks like the voice of the second master, try it, you guys listen to it too!" ”

The man raised his voice and said, "Is it the second master?" ”

Zhang Zhijie couldn't hear the voice of discussion inside, and said in a deep voice: "It's me!" ”

The three people inside opened their mouths in surprise when they heard this, it really looked like the voice of the second master. Isn't the second master in Jiangnan? Why did you suddenly appear outside the house?

One of them was the first to react, and whispered urgently: "Quick, open the door!" The two of them woke up like a dream, and they rushed up and opened the door quickly, and looked at the second master who was standing outside! There are dozens of brocade guards standing in the back.

The three of them knelt down and said, "Second master, have you returned to Beijing?" ”

Zhang Zhijie nodded, turned around and smiled: "Okay, let's go back and rest!" Magnolia took them to salute and got on the horse one after another.

Zhang Zhijie turned around and entered the door with a smile and said with a smile: "Get up!" The lord and the lady are resting, right? ”

The three of them got up and followed, stood respectfully on the side, and responded, "Yes, the two doors have been locked." ”

Zhang Zhijie walked straight to the second gate, the three of them followed closely to the second gate, and one of them hurriedly stepped forward to call the door: "Tang Pozi, Tang Pozi, get up and open the door, the second master is back!" ”

Mrs. Tang and a few mothers-in-law hurriedly opened the second door, Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "It is estimated that they have already rested, don't make any noise, I'll go to the study to make up for the night!" Prepare some hot water for me! ”

Zhang Zhijie went straight to the study, the study was locked, there was no one, Zhang Zhijie opened the door and went in and lit the lamp. The study was very neat and clean, and everything was in order, just as it had been when he left.

Those mothers-in-law hurried to prepare hot water for Zhang Zhijie, although Zhang Zhijie ordered him not to make a noise, but how could he do it if there was no one to serve him? They discussed it and knew that Cuimo was not worth the night tonight, so they quietly went to find Cuimo.

Cui Mo, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a whisper from someone outside the window at night, and he was really a little confused. I put on my coat and opened the window, only to find a mother-in-law under the window.

"Miss Cuimo, the second master is back, and now he is in the study! It's too late now, the second master doesn't let him make a noise, we think that the second master has no one to serve, so we thought of talking to Miss Cuimo. The woman whispered.

Cui Mo was even more stunned when she heard this, the second master was still far away in Jiangnan, and she hadn't heard her grandmother and Mrs. say that the second master was going back to Beijing. It's not a dream, is it?

Cui Mo subconsciously pinched herself, hiss, it hurts! As if he wasn't dreaming, Cui Mo whispered, "You wait for me!" ”

The mother-in-law said in a low voice: "We still have to prepare hot water for the second master, so let's go and get busy first!" The second master commanded, don't let it be quiet. ”

Cuimo quickly put on her clothes, and she didn't have time to freshen up, so she quietly closed the door and walked out of the small courtyard, and immediately went to the study. After turning the mountain pavilion, he saw the light in the study from a distance, and Cuimo's heart suddenly jumped up.

The second master is really back! Cui Mo trotted all the way to the study, gently pushed open the door, and found that the second master had fallen asleep on the chair.

It was really the second master who came back, Cuimo stared at Zhang Zhijie stupidly, and walked in carefully, but Zhang Zhijie was still awakened.

Zhang Zhijie raised his head to look at Cui Mo who was tiptoeing, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell them not to make a noise?" Why did you make a fuss? ”

"Oh, my lord, look at how tired you are? And the heart cares about us, we are not tired during the day! When we come back, we don't want to serve, we don't blame ourselves to death! Cui Mo pouted.

Zhang Zhijie said helplessly: "Are you awake?" ”

"No! It's not me on duty today, they went directly to look for me, and they didn't alarm grandma and young master's house! Cui Mo laughed.

At this time, the mothers-in-law brought hot water, and Cuimo asked them to bring the hot water into the house, thanked them and sent them away.

Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "There is mud all over the body, simply wipe it!" ”

Cuimo waited for Zhang Zhijie to wipe it carefully twice, and then found a clean underwear, and then waited for Zhang Zhijie to fall asleep, and Zhang Zhijie fell asleep after a while. At this time, it was almost dawn, and Cui Mo also lay down and slept.

Early in the morning, Juan'er and Yixue had already gotten up and instructed the little maids to sprinkle and sweep the courtyard, prepare hot water, etc. Yixue suddenly wondered: "Hey, why don't you see Cuimo?" ”

Juan'er was also stunned when she heard this, and said with some doubts: "Yes, I really didn't see her!" ”

Yi Xue smiled: "Cuimo, who has always been diligent, also has a time to sleep lazy!" No, I'm going to shame her! ”

Juan'er listened with some concern and said, "It can't be sick, right?" It's cold at night, and it's easy to get caught in the cold! ”

When the two came to Cuimo's house, they found that the door was not locked, and when they pushed the door in, they found that Cuimo was not in the room.

The two of them were a little surprised, and saw that the bed was very messy, which was not at all like the usual clean and tidy appearance. Obviously, she was in a hurry, and Juan'er stepped forward and touched the messy quilt, which was cold.

Juan'er was a little stunned and said: "It's cold, it's cold, it shouldn't be a short time to get up." ”
