"You...what do you call Emperor?" Wu Man was completely shocked by Qi Lu's words, and looked at Qi Lu blankly.

When the emperor heard his master call him "Lin'er", his sour mood instantly calmed down a lot. As expected, "Lin'er" can cure all diseases.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Lin'er."

Qi Lu repeated it so calmly that Wu Man almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, and looked at the emperor in shock.

You must know that there are not many people in this world who can call the emperor "Lin'er". In the past, the person who called the emperor the most was of course the emperor's eldest father, the deceased King Ping of Zhou. Since the emperor came to the throne, no one has dared to do so. Call the emperor.

Qi Lu smiled and said to Wu Man: "Why, aren't Da Sima and the Emperor childhood sweethearts? Have you ever called the Emperor like this?"

Qi Lu was simply asking questions knowingly. Although Wu Man and the Emperor had a small relationship and were brothers, they had never called the Emperor in this way.

Wu Man hesitated and said: "I..."

Before he could find a chance to smooth things over for him, Ji Lin had already smiled, took Qi Lu's hand, and said, "It's true that Da Sima has never summoned someone like this. Tutor, let's go."

After saying that, the emperor took Taifu Qi and left, leaving only a stunned Da Sima in place.

Qi Lu agreed to teach Da Sima how to make Qiuli paste, and he asked Nuanyang Jian to write a very detailed recipe for Qiuli paste and give it to Da Sima.

Early the next morning, before Qi Lu got up, he heard a "bang bang bang" knock on the door. He rested at his Taifu's residence yesterday and did not have to attend the morning ceremony today. Qi Lu did not enter the palace all morning. But because of his destiny, Ji Lin sent Qi Lu to go to the residence of Grand Sikong Yinzi today to officially grant the marriage. Therefore, Qi Lu came out of the palace last night and spent the night in his mansion.

Qi Lu was still sleeping when he heard the sound of knocking on the door. The sound was very urgent, as if it was a drum beating on the battlefield. Qi Lu was so frightened that he immediately opened his eyes and stared, but he didn't even come to serve him. The sky was bright and gloomy, and it happened to be a cloudy day too. As soon as Qi Lu got up from the bed, he fell back down again. It was too early and he couldn't get up at all.

Qi Lu fell back on the couch, and the drum-like knocking on the door quickly subsided. It must have been that Rooyang Jian went to answer the door. Qi Lu breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes, pulled the quilt, and prepared to continue. Go back to sleep.

Unexpectedly, Nuoyangjian walked in and said softly: "Taifu, Da Sima is here and wants to see the Taifu."

Qi Lu said "Huh?", thinking that he didn't hear clearly. This morning, Da Sima Wuman suddenly came to his mansion? Isn't this a fantasy?

Qi Lu closed his eyes again, as if he didn't hear anything. He thought he was dreaming and was about to sleep for a while. At this moment, he heard Wuman's loud voice shouting from outside: "Master? Master, are you up?" Taifu Qi? Taifu Qi!"

Qi Lu: "..."

Qi Lu got up from the couch with a dull hair on his head. Only then did he realize that he had heard correctly. The wolf shoulder had indeed said that Da Sima was coming.

Qi Lu asked himself that his relationship with Da Sima was not so good. In the morning, Da Sima did not enter the palace, but came to him instead?

Qi Lu pulled his hair and said, "Little Yang, why are you going to ask..." something.

Before Qi Lu finished speaking, there was a "bang!" and Da Sima Wuman was impatient and pushed the door directly in from the outside. Seeing that Qi Lu hadn't gotten up yet, he immediately strode over and took off Qi Lu's quilt. , and throw it aside.

It's autumn now, and the weather is getting cooler, especially in the morning. Qi Lu's quilt was taken off by Wu Man, and he felt a little cold for a moment. Then he woke up from his dream and said quickly: "Da Sima, come here this morning." What are you doing in Lu's house?"

Wu Man came over, not only took off Qi Lu's quilt, but also snatched the work from the sheep's shoulder. He took all the clothes and said: "Master, it's getting late. Get up quickly. Don't you want to hand it over to me?" How to make Qiuli paste?”

Qi Lu looked confused and said, "Didn't Xiaoyang give the recipe to Da Sima yesterday?"

Wu Man was indeed given the task of handing over the sheep's shoulder to Wu Man. The sheep's shoulder was always very stable, and Qi Lu never worried about him while he was working.

Wu Man said: "I have left it to me, but the recipe you wrote was very harsh and hard to pronounce. I followed the recipe and the pears were mushy. The pear juice was boiled and the pot was burned through. Nothing was done." come out."

When Qi Lu heard this, he thought, what? The pot was burned through? Could it be that Da Sima, like his senior brother Tianzi, was a kitchen killer? Then when Da Sima came to his house, could he have set fire to it?

Da Sima said without blushing, "It must be that your recipe is not detailed enough. It just so happens that I have a rest today, so you can teach me how to make Qiuli paste."

Qi Lu had a headache and said, "But I won't stop bathing today."

Da Sima smiled and puffed up his chest. He was not wearing an official robe today. He was wearing ordinary clothes, which accentuated his tall figure and slim waist. He said with great pride: "I knew you wouldn't take a rest today, so I came here early to ask you to teach me." It’s just right for me to join the class again!”

Qi Lu: "..." Thanks to Da Sima for his meticulous consideration.

Qi Lu liked the lazy bed and couldn't get up from the couch at all, but Da Sima was full of energy and wished he could carry Qi Lu up from the couch. In the end, there was no other way, so Qi Lu had to compromise, yawned and got up, his shoulders strong. He wanted to comb Qi Lu's hair, but Da Sima said, "No, no, I'll do it."

Qi Lu looked at Da Sima in surprise. You must know that Wuman is Da Sima and the young master of the Wu clan. With the halos surrounding him, he must have always been served by others. How can he serve others? Qi Lu seriously suspected that Wu Man was not here to comb his hair, but to cut his hair, and the hair was cut down one by one...

Qi Lu sat "tremblingly" on the table, facing the mirror, and Wu Man knelt down behind him to comb his hair. Qi Lu found that he was overly worried. Although Wu Man was a martial artist, his combing movements were quite good. It's neat and careful, and it won't hurt Qi Lu's scalp.

Qi Lu said in surprise: "Da Sima's skill in combing his hair...?"

Wuman was still very proud and said: "How is it? It's not bad? I learned this from the servant specially. I just learned it well. When I marry my wife, I can comb his hair like this. Now I will practice my skills."

Qi Lu was even more surprised. It turned out that Wu Man learned the art of combing hair for the sake of his future wife. It seemed that Da Sima was very much in love with Miss Yin Si. From this look, Da Sima was still a good man.

Wu Man finished combing his hair and said, "Hurry up, where is your dining room? I'll wait for you first."

Qi Lu washed up, and Wu Man went into the dining room first to wait. After Qi Lu finished washing, he hurried to the dining room and saw Wu Man peeling pears. His knife skills were superb.

In a short time, Wuman had already peeled a large basket of pears, and the white pears were lying in the basket.

Wu Man was quick with his hands and feet. When he saw Qi Lu, he immediately said: "Come on, teach me quickly."

Qi Lu cleaned his hands, rolled up his sleeves and robe, and taught Wu Man how to make Qiuli ointment. Wu Man was good at martial arts and had nimble hands and feet, but apart from peeling, Da Sima was useless in the kitchen. In comparison, he was useless.

Lamb shoulder, this kitchen killer, instantly becomes cute.

Wu Man let out a "hiss!" and burned his hands for the first time. He rinsed his fingers with cold water and said, "Making Qiuli paste is even more difficult than practicing martial arts and fighting."

Qi Lu said with a smile: "After all, there are specialties in martial arts. It is impossible for everyone to be as good at martial arts and fighting as the Great Sima, and it is impossible for everyone to be able to cook, right? Just like the Yin family is in charge of Sikong Civil Engineering, and the Wu family

The commander of the Sima army is just like a soldier, so why should we compete so hard?"

Wu Man was cutting pears when he heard Qi Lu say this. He knew that Qi Lu had other intentions, saying: "I don't want to compete with the Yin family, but Yin family's people bully others too much. Yin Zi is old, no matter what

His disciples are usually arrogant and domineering in Luoshi. If I see them but don't teach them a lesson, I will feel itchy in the palm of my hand."

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Really? At Yin Zi's birthday party that day, Lu saw an arrogant and domineering person, but he was a member of the Wu family."

Wu Man's face burned and he said, "It's unexpected. I've always been strict in discipline. It's definitely an accident."

Wu Man cut all the pears and glanced at Qi Lu several times. He had always been a straightforward person, but today he was a little hesitant. Qi Lu's eyelids jumped when he saw it, and he said, "If you have anything to say, Da Sima, I'll give it to you."

To put it bluntly, if you are so hesitant, Lu may think that Da Sima has a secret crush on Lu."

"Who, who secretly admires you?" Wu Man immediately denied it and said, "I heard... you are going to Yin Zi's house today to grant a marriage to the emperor? Can you take me with you?"

Qi Lu nodded and said, "It turns out that this is the day. Da Sima came to see Lu today and he didn't want to make Qiuli ointment."

Wu Man quickly said: "I did ask you to teach me how to make Qiuli ointment. This is true, but... I also want to visit Yin Zi's house. If you go to confer a marriage today, take me with you."

Isn’t it just right?”

Qi Lu said: "Where can the groom go with him to confer marriage?"

Wu Man added: "I'm just going to take a look. When you go to confer marriage, why don't I just stay with the carriage for a while? I won't wander around..."

As Wu Man spoke, he used all kinds of tricks and said: "Taifu Qi, there is a happy event in Grand Sikong Yinzi's house, are you not ready for your congratulatory gift? If you take me to get married today, I will give you your congratulatory gift."

Got it!"

Qi Lu's eyes lit up. All his money was used to buy peppercorns. It was not enough to buy food on weekdays, and he couldn't afford servants. He was worried about the gifts and thought about how to squeeze out some money to exchange for gifts.

Now Da Sima rushed up to him. Qi Lu stared at Da Sima as if he were staring at a little sheep and immediately said: "Deal."

Da Sima, who had been taken advantage of, did not feel at all disadvantaged and said happily: "That's great, you are not allowed to regret it."

Qi Lu did not need to enter the palace that morning, but went to the residence of Da Sikong Yinzi. Qi Lu got on the carriage, and Da Sima Wuman personally drove Qi Lu's carriage and went to Da Sikong's residence.

After arriving at the mansion, Wuman parked the carriage next to the stable of Da Sikong's residence. Qi Lu got off the carriage and told Wuman: "Da Sima, don't walk around randomly, just wait here. Now Wu and Yin are still here."

Without getting married, if something unexpected happens, it will be Da Sima who suffers."

Wu Man nodded vigorously and said: "Okay, okay, Master Qi, please go quickly, I will wait here."

Qi Lu left quickly, and the housekeeper led him all the way to see Yin Zi. Yin Zi and others were already waiting for the marriage. When they saw Qi Lu, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Congratulations, Da Sikong."

Although there was a smile on Yin Zi's face, the smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, he was a little sad. He said politely: "Excuse me, Master Qi, for a trip."

Qi Lu glanced at the Yin family who came to receive the edict and said, "Why don't you see Miss Yin Si?"

Yin Zi said: "The fourth girl is very weak and suffered from cold today, so she was bedridden and could not come out to greet her."

Qi Lu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's more serious to let the fourth lady have a good health and recuperate."

When Qi Lu left, Wu Man poked his head around the stable to take a look. He had rarely been to the Yin family before, and had only been to the Yin family several times when he was a child, so he was not familiar with the layout of the Yin family.

Wu Man came with Qi Lu. In fact, he also knew that he would definitely not see Miss Yin Si. However, Wu Man still wanted to come. When he heard that Qi Lu had come to propose a marriage, he felt as if he was carrying a fur rabbit.

I want to come over and have a look, what if, I thought, I could meet Miss Yin Si?

Wu Man walked around nearby with a disappointed look on his face. He didn't see Miss Yin Si, not even a female family member, so he prepared to return to the stable and wait for a while to drive Qi Lu back.

Wuman walked back a few steps and heard the sound of "rustling, rustling". It didn't sound like the wind blowing the grass and trees, but rather like something being polished.

Following the sound, Wuman pushed aside the flowers nearby and crossed a path. He saw a path behind the flowers and a figure squatting on the ground, polishing a piece of wood.

The figure was slender and slender, exuding an air of invincibility and gentleness, with a slender waist and long black hair flowing down her shoulders. From the back, she was definitely a stunning beauty.

When Wu Man saw the figure, his eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't this Miss Yin Si?

Miss Yinsi was squatting behind the flowers alone, with no maid around to serve her. She was actually doing carpentry work. Wuman took a closer look and saw that Miss Yinsi's slender, fat-like jade hand was holding a small crossbow, which Wuman had seen before.

The small crossbows of the past could fire three arrows in a row. In this era, the achievements of small crossbows were very advanced.

Wu Man was very happy to see Miss Yin Si, and then saw the small crossbow. He couldn't help but walked over and said, "Did Miss Yin make this crossbow?"

As soon as Wu Man opened his mouth, Miss Yin Si didn't seem to hear Wu Man's footsteps and was startled by his voice. She said "Um...", frowned slightly, and actually fell to the ground.

"Are you okay?" Wu Man didn't expect to frighten Miss Yin Si, and rushed over to help Miss Yin Si up from the ground.

Wu Man stretched out his hand to touch Miss Yin Si's waist. Although he did not mean any blasphemy, Wu Man felt the flexible waist, as thin as a willow, and smelled the fragrance of Miss Yin Si's hair, and suddenly felt a little worried.
