Traveling through time and space to become a lady of a noble family, but she only wants to escape

In Bai Zhi's view, promises are invisible ropes. Once you agree, this rope can directly tie you to every moment in the future. Once a promise is made, nothing can stop you. She didn't want to tie herself up for such a small matter, so she avoided the main point and said, "Why, the effect of the drug on you hasn't worn off yet?"

Gu Yan was confused by this: "What kind of drug is this?"

"It's the blood-replenishing medicine you took with me." Bai Zhi changed the subject further and further, "You were cleaning the house and folding clothes a few days ago. Wasn't it the effect of the medicine?"

"No." Gu Yan said, "Do you want to know why? If you promise me, I will tell you."

Bai Zhi: "..."

Being caught, she really wanted to know.

Damn it, it's just a small matter, just hold it in. Bai Zhi said helplessly: "I promised you that I would say goodbye to you before leaving no matter what. So, why?"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "After you leave the mansion, Bai Zhi, I hope that when you think of me, I will think of my best self."

"So you just want to leave a good impression on me. No need to make such an effort. I already have a very good impression of you now."

Gu Yan picked up a piece of braised large intestine for Bai Zhi and said, "Don't forget what you said today."

There seemed to be something else behind these words. Bai Zhi glanced at him and said, "What's the matter? Are you going to do something bad in the future?"

Gu Yan's eyelashes twitched slightly, and he looked at Bai Zhi: "What if I really could?"

"You are not fighting alone." Bai Zhi said, "There is Changfeng on the left and Fang Zhiheng on the right. Will they let you do bad things?"

"That's true." Gu Yan shook his head and smiled, and filled Bai Zhi's bowl with wine. Bai Zhi blocked it and said, "Speaking of Changfeng, there's no one else here now, let's call him down as well."

"Changfeng is not here."

"Not here? Where did he go?"

"Go to the riverside to burn paper for my mother."

"Burn paper?" Bai Zhi sat up straight, "Is today the anniversary of my aunt's death?"

"No." Gu Yan's tone was flat as if he was talking about someone else's business, "Changfeng came home when he was eight years old. My mother treated him very well and regarded him as her own son. He only listened to my mother. On the fifteenth day of August, it is inevitable that he misses his family."

Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask, "What about you?"

"I haven't finished what I should do... I don't have the face to pay tribute to you."

The Mid-Autumn Festival made her so sad. Bai Zhi wanted to comfort Gu Yan, but she really didn't know what to say. It was hard for her to empathize with the fact that he didn't have the face to pay tribute to his own parents.

Bai Zhi scratched her head and suddenly asked, "Ahem, um, do you want to see the moon lantern?"

Gu Yan didn't know what Bai Zhi meant, so he just asked honestly, "Hang the moon lantern here?"

"I'll hang one for you." Bai Zhi dragged the stool closer and made a hollow circle with her hands facing the sky. "Look."

Gu Yan looked up - Bai Zhi's hands acted as a lampshade, just holding the silver-plate-like round moon in the middle, forming an exact shape of a moon lantern.

Moon lanterns, moon lanterns, light lanterns for the Mid-Autumn Festival, light a pair of lanterns, and you will be happy for a lifetime.

Bai Zhi smiled and said, "I don't know what your moon lanterns look like, so you can just make do with what you have."

Bai Zhi's hands were very steady while she was practicing boxing. Gu Yan stared at the moon lamp in a trance, his eyes gradually covered with a layer of mist, and he murmured, "I haven't seen the moon lamp for several years."

Just five or six years ago, not too long ago but I can't remember clearly, on the full-moon night of August 15th, across the Thirteen States, a pair of moon lanterns were lit at the door of every household, staying lit all night.

Bai Zhi did not respond. She suddenly felt that she had seen Chu Yunchuan clearly for the first time. He endured a huge injustice and hid himself in silence. He was cruel to himself and killed others. This outward character was contrary to the gentle and kind nature he usually showed.

It turns out that his obsession is not just hatred. In the dark sea of ​​blood, among the piles of rotting bones, there is only a little baby crying and wanting to go home.

Go home, go home, where is her home?

The mist in Gu Yan's eyes could not be removed after all. He helped Bai Zhi's hand down and said softly: "I will definitely remember this lamp."

Bai Zhi smiled brightly: "That would be great."

There was a bright moon in the sky, and stars twinkled in every house. In the huge capital, in several inconspicuous alleys, a real moon lamp was lit up at the slightly dilapidated door.

Moon lanterns, moon lanterns, lighting lanterns in the Mid-Autumn Festival, leaving people and leaving people, holding lanterns for the return journey.

Early the next morning, Bai Zhi paid her respects to Old Madam Gu, and then ran to the small kitchen to seek advice from Cook Xu.

"Secret recipe?" Cook Xu smacked her lips for a while and suddenly realized, "Oh, Third Madam, you want to learn a unique dish to cook for Third Master."

"Hmm... yes, yes, is there any dish that will make people fall in love with it and never want to leave?" Bai Zhi took out the twenty taels of silver that she had prepared and stuffed it into Cook Xu's hand, "It would be best if it is easy to make."

When Cook Xu saw the silver, she was very happy, but she was reluctant to accept it. She said, "Madam San, what are you doing? We are servants. It is an honor for us to teach the master how to cook a dish. How can you take so much money?"

"Not much, not much." Bai Zhi pushed the money over rather forcefully, and said with a stern face, "I'll be mad if you don't take it."

"No, no, Third Madam, I'll take it right away." Cook Xu quickly put the silver into her bosom and said with a smile, "Third Madam, if you want a dish that's easy to make and delicious, I'll tell you one. I guarantee Third Master will like it."

Bai Zhi urged, "Tell me quickly, what dish is it?"

"This dish is called Thousand Hammered Chicken."

"A thousand hammers and a hundred tempers?"

"I'll make it for you once. If you try it, you'll know how it's made." Cook Xu said, "To make a thousand-hammer chicken, you first have to prepare the ingredients and make the soup, then smoke it slowly over low heat. After all this, the chicken will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious and juicy. You can eat it around noon, just wait and see."

This immediately aroused Bai Zhi's appetite. She went back in a good mood to get her books and called Qiaoqiao and Lin Chuqi out for class.

From the time the mansion was attacked to the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Zhi gave them a long vacation. Now that the festival was over, the lesson had to continue.

As soon as Bai Zhi picked up the book, she saw two children looking at her with two pairs of big eyes: "What's wrong? Didn't you rest enough?"

"Miss, do you remember what you said if we can play house to the end..." Qiaoqiao stretched out the last syllable as she spoke, and Lin Chuqi continued in tacit understanding: "Grant us a wish."

Oh, yes, there is also this. The promise made to the children must be fulfilled no matter what. Bai Zhi put down the book and smiled, "Have you thought about it? Come on, tell me one by one."
