Zhang Ruomei said angrily: "You are a lonely man and a widower. This is your excuse. I can see it. You are afraid that I will bring trouble to you. You are a righteous man and a righteous man. You say that I am a righteous man, but you want to drive me away quickly. Yes or no?"

Fang Zian laughed and said, "Miss Zhang is actually so sharp-tongued, but I didn't realize it."

Zhang Ruomei said: "Otherwise, why don't you let me stay here? The officers and soldiers outside are searching for me, and I don't even have a place to hide. I will be caught by them one day. In fact, I made a decision last night to stay here. I’m staying here. Don’t worry, I won’t disturb you. I’ll just let you live in the west wing of your house. I’ll just give you money and I won’t treat you badly.”

Fang Zian didn't know what to say, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think of me as an inn? My house is not an inn, what do I want from your money?"

Zhang Ruomei sat down on the chair and muttered: "It's better not to use money. If I save money, I still have to go out and steal from the big family."

Fang Zian was speechless. It was easy to ask the gods but difficult to send them away. He kindly let Zhang Ruomei stay for a night, but he didn't expect that she would rely on him. But after thinking about it, Zhang Ruomei was right. Although the city was calm now. Down, but the secret search operations by officers and soldiers will definitely not stop. It is extremely risky for Zhang Ruomei to hide in Tibet, and he might really be caught. If that happens, it is not what he wants to see. Moreover, Zhang Ruomei is Zhang Xianzhi How could I ignore my daughter, Zhongliang? Although it is risky to keep her at home, it is better than letting her take greater risks outside. Since I have helped her once, why not be a good person and do it to the end.

"That's all, if that's the case, you can stay and hide. My place is quite clean, and not many people come here. As long as you don't walk around randomly, there should be no danger. If you are seen by others, just treat them like cousins. .We will make further calculations after the situation calms down." Fang Zian said with a smile.

Zhang Ruomei said in surprise: "Young Master Fang agrees? That's great. Finally, we don't have to hide outside. Don't worry, Young Master Fang, I won't cause you any trouble. As long as the search at the city gate is a little looser, I will He left immediately. The young master is so kind and kind, Ruomei will remember it."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and said: "Ms. Zhang, let me keep it in mind. I live alone, and I can make do with what I can. The food is cooked so-so, and my life is so-so. I don't know how to wait on others."

Zhang Ruomei smiled: "What do I want you to do? I can cook the food and wash the clothes. I have learned these things since I was very young. I entered Baiyun Temple when I was eight years old and learned everything from the master. Not only can I wash and cook , I can also chop wood and plant vegetables. I can’t thank you enough for your young master’s willingness to take me in. How dare you let him serve you?”

Fang Zian was speechless and nodded: "That's best. You can take care of yourself and I won't worry. That's it."

Zhang Ruomei was obviously very happy, and she couldn't restrain the joy on her face. She had the most solid sleep last night, and when she got up in the morning, she thought of staying here. Seeing that Mr. Fang is very humble and chivalrous, Maybe he would agree. So he made the request shamelessly, but in fact he felt very ashamed. Fang Zian agreed, and she was naturally very happy. Her family broke up when she was eight years old, and she was still a child who was ignorant of the world when she was sent to a Taoist temple. In order for her to take revenge, the master was extremely strict with her, and there was no such thing in the Taoist temple.

There is not much warmth. After coming down the mountain, she has no fixed place and thinks about revenge every day. In fact, her life is very miserable. The feeling of being taken care of by Fang Zian last night was so warm that it made her feel some attachment. Can

Zhang Ruomei couldn't be happier if she stayed.

"Young master, you go and have a rest. I'll clean the table and sweep the floor in a while. You just don't have to do anything." Zhang Ruomei said.

Fang Zian sighed inwardly, and felt a little pity for Zhang Ruomei's life experience and situation. He said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhang, you don't have to be like this. I don't have much housework here. You can rest when you need to. Don't be too nervous at all.

.I have the habit of sleeping during the day, so I’m going to bed. In the evening I went out to buy some clothes for the lady. If she needs anything else, just tell me later. Or make a list so that I can buy it easily. I’ll leave it here.

, so don’t be too formal, let’s practice common courtesy with each other, and we don’t need to be so formal with each other.”

Zhang Ruomei agreed with a smile, and Fang Zian went back to his room to rest. Lying on the warm bamboo mat, Fang Zian missed the big cold water tank very much. Originally, he could soak in the cold water tank and sleep comfortably, but now there are many people at home

Girl, you can't do whatever you want. But soon, the alcohol got stronger and sleepiness set in, and soon I started snoring loudly.

When I woke up, the sun had already set outside the long window. Fang Zian got up and stretched out of the east wing. He was suddenly stunned and thought he had entered the wrong room. The main room was clean and the tables and chairs were arranged.

Things had also changed. Things were arranged neatly. Fang Zian didn't react for a moment. But he soon realized that it was Zhang Ruomei who did it.

The sound of Xisuo came from the yard. Fang Zian walked under the porch and looked around. In the west corner of the yard, Zhang Ruomei was using wood to turn over the soil and tidy up the vegetable bed that had been abandoned for a long time.

Fang Zian walked over, frowned and asked, "What is Miss Zhang doing?"

Zhang Ruomei said with a smile: "Take care of the vegetable bed and sprinkle the seeds. It will grow quickly at this time of year. It's better than this pile of weeds."

Fang Zian said: "Why is it necessary? Didn't I say it? It doesn't need to be like this, Miss Zhang doesn't have to."

Zhang Ruomei wiped the sweat from her face and said, "What I do voluntarily has nothing to do with you. You don't have to worry about it."

Fang Zian waved his hands and said, "You can do whatever you want, I can't control you. I'm going out to buy clothes for you. What do you want, have you made a list?"

Zhang Ruomei thought for a while and said, "Young master, please buy me a set of laundry skirts. I don't need anything else."

Fang Zian tilted his head and looked at her. Zhang Ruomei suddenly turned red and whispered: "I also need a set of underwear. Thank you, sir."

Fang Zian turned around and went out, waving his hand and saying: "That's all, I'll buy it myself, I don't need you to explain it."

In the evening, Fang Zian returned to the small courtyard carrying a bulging package. Zhang Ruomei had actually prepared meals, even cleaned Fang Zian's room, and wiped the doors and windows of the house clean. On the long windows,

New paper was pasted, the debris under the porch was cleaned up, and a few pots of flowers and plants were placed. Fang Zian had to tiptoe carefully even when walking, for fear of soiling the ground and kicking over the flower pots.

.

"Ms. Zhang, I can only buy some random clothes and utensils. I don't know if they can fit

Use it. You take a look first. If it doesn't work or there's something missing, I'll buy it for you tomorrow." Fang Zian handed the package to Zhang Ruomei and went to the corridor to wash his face and wipe his sweat.

Zhang Ruomei took the big package back to the west wing, placed it on the mat, unwrapped it, and took out the things inside one by one. Her face and eyes turned red immediately. She bought two pieces of underwear, skirts, underwear, shoes and socks.

Not only that, I also bought women’s decorative items such as pollen, rouge, and even a silver hairpin. Although it is not the kind of extremely expensive thing, this is the first time that Zhang Ruomei has been helped so carefully by someone since she was a child.

After buying these women's clothes and supplies, Zhang Ruomei held the silver hairpin in her hand, her eyes red and her heart warm. Although they met by chance, Fang Zian felt like a very close person to her at this moment.

After buying the woman's clothing and supplies, Fang Zian also bought mosquito nets, scented tablets, cloth handkerchiefs, cloth towels, scented soap and other items. She was really thoughtful and thoughtful. Zhang Ruomei was moved. Obviously Fang Zian wanted to make her stay more comfortable.

He says he doesn't take care of others, but in fact he is very careful and considerate.

What Zhang Ruomei didn't know was that in order to purchase these things, Fang Zian was shameless and ignored the contemptuous looks of others. After all, a man running to buy things like rouge pollen and women's undergarments would inevitably attract strange looks. Fang

Zian also had the courage to buy these things. Moreover, the clothes needed to fit, and Fang Zian didn't know the size, so he could only buy them based on visual inspection, which was really not easy.

When Zhang Ruomei came out again, she changed into a plain white skirt. Although the fabric was ordinary, it actually fit well on her body, making her look like a cute girl next door. Fang Zian was very happy that she chose the right size.

When Zhang Ruomei turned around, he saw that the silver hairpin was pinned to the end of her black hair.

After dinner, Fang Zian went back to his room to study, but when he opened the book, he couldn't read a word. Too many things happened in the past few days. Fang Zian's mind and heart were confused. He couldn't read at this time.

. I barely read a few pages, and finally stood up and walked out of the room.

In the main room, Zhang Ruomei was holding something under the candlelight to look at it, and the thing was shining brightly under the light. Seeing Fang Zian come out, Zhang Ruomei stood up and said with a smile: "Don't Mr. Fang study?"

Fang Zian sat at the table, poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it, and said, "I feel a little upset, so I read it in vain."

Zhang Ruomei said: "Is it because of the respected teacher Mr. Zhou?"

Fang Zian sighed and nodded. Zhang Ruomei comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Fang, good people have their own destiny. Mr. Zhou will be fine."

Fang Zian smiled bitterly and thought: It would be great if this were really the case, but unfortunately it is unlikely.

"Don't talk about it anymore, Miss Zhang. Tell me about Marshal Yue and your father fighting the Jin people back then. I've heard a lot about it, but I always feel it's not true and comprehensive enough. You are Zhang Tongzhi's daughter

, when you know the details, your words are the most credible." Fang Zian whispered.

Zhang Ruomei was stunned and said softly: "I was only seven or eight years old at that time. What I know is what others tell me. However, Uncle Xu has personally experienced the war, so what he told me should be true."
