Zhong Mingwei sighed silently, put down the book in his hand, turned to ah Chou, and said in a deep voice, "when you buy a book, how do you talk to others?"

"No Nothing to say, "a Chou hurriedly dodged Zhong Mingwei's eyes. In front of Zhong Mingwei's face, she couldn't tell if she was buying books for her family man. Knowing that Zhong Mingwei was still waiting for his answer, a Chou spent a long time, and then looked at the man with great courage, humming fiercely at the same time." the shopkeeper said that as long as it's a man, he would like to see this Book, what's the matter? Don't you like it? "

Zhong Mingwei's mouth twitched, and then two words sprang out of his mouth with difficulty: " I like it. "

"That's it. Read a book. I went out to wash my clothes." Ah Chou felt down to earth immediately. He felt that there was no silver to spend. Then he got up and went out.

"Help me out for a while, and I'll wash your clothes with you." Zhong Mingwei put down the bottle or plum that he had been holding in his hand, sat up straight and held out his hand to ah Chou.

"What can I do for you? Besides, it will soon be dark and cold, freezing you carefully, "ah Chou said to the book on the bed," so many books are not enough for you to read? You can read in the room. "

"I'll keep it for the night." Zhong Mingwei's face is uncomfortable.

"Why do you want to watch it at night?" Ah Chou's face is puzzled, "waste candle still boil eyes, look now."

Zhong Mingwei has a convulsion on the corner of his mouth I'll watch it at night! '

The first day of August in Jiasheng's thirty second year was

capital.

Ci Ning palace.

"Empress dowager, Pang Yi has come." Bijo rushed in to report.

"Let him in," said the empress dowager, putting down the Buddhist beads in her hand, holding up a cup of tea and sipping it lightly, "and make a monkey king for general Pang."

"Yes, my maidservant." Bijo was too busy to bow down.

Soon, Biqiao led a big man into the warm Pavilion. The man was no more than thirty years old. His skin was dark and rough, and his body was very strong. Although he was bowing in, he was also growing up step by step. At first sight, he must be a military general, not an outsider. It was Pang Yi.

"Pang Yi, the last general, has met the Empress Dowager. Thank you, Empress Dowager Jin'an." Pang Yi comes in and bows to the Empress Dowager.

"Get up," the Empress Dowager said softly as Pang Yi kowtowed three heads and raised his hand to Biqiao. "Give general Pang an embroidery pier."

"Yes," said Brigitte, who was so busy moving the embroidery block, "general Pang, please."

"Thank you very much, Queen." Although he is sitting, pangyi's back is stretched straight.

"General Pang, please." Bijo came up to serve tea and bowed down.

"How does it taste?" The Empress Dowager closed the tea cover and said softly, "I remember that you like Taiping Houkui best."

"Thank you for remembering," Pang Yi said, sipping his tea and sighing softly. "It's twenty years since I've had such a good Taiping monkey queen. Thank you very much

"Since I like it, I'll take some with me when I leave. I know you're here. I asked Biqiao to prepare some jars of Taiping Houkui for you." The Empress Dowager said.

"Yes, thank you very much, empress dowager," Pang Yi said in a deep voice, quite moved. "The Empress Dowager really loves her very much."

"You and Mingwei grew up together. Mingwei treats you as a brother. You are different from others in the mourning family," the Empress Dowager said in a slow voice, sighing softly and saying again after a pause. "Once you get the news, you put down your future in southern Xinjiang and hurry back to Beijing. It can be seen that your feelings for Mingwei remain unchanged."

"Your Highness is the benefactor of the general. If you don't have your highness, you won't have the general today. There's nothing but loyalty beside the general," said pangyi, putting down the tea bowl, kneeling on the ground, and saying with a heavy face. "When you come back this time, you know that you have no ability to save your Highness from fire and water, but you also hope to go to ningguta earlier to protect your highness. Please allow the Empress Dowager. ”
