He is tall and big

The sky will be bright.

The house, which was still shrouded in the dim sky, has already started to move.

The servants who cleaned the house were all light-footed, fearing to disturb the sleep of the master, and those who went out to buy things all walked through the corner door. The servants under the kitchen stood outside the door waiting for the vegetable farmers to bring fresh vegetables, and the kitchen was busy early in the morning:

The chicken soup that has been stewed overnight skims off the foam and is just right for kneading the noodles. The noodles are kneaded vigorously and then rolled out thinly. With the clear soup, it is both refreshing and tasty; a few small and exquisite soup dumplings lie on the In the steamer, when it is steamed on the upper drawer, there will be a tantalizing aroma and the lingering steam; rice oil is boiled out of the best japonica rice, put on the finely sliced ​​goose breast, and it will melt after a sip , most suitable for nourishing the stomach;...

The courtyard is lively and lively, but no big noise can be heard.

Liu Ying carried a bucket of hot water across the yard.He was tall and strong, and the heavy bucket was carried in his hand like a gadget, and he easily carried it into the east compartment with one lift of his feet.

Sanrui, who was waiting in the room, stretched out his hand to take the bucket, but Liu Ying turned around and ordered: "Bring the basin."

Wufu was quite clever, and hurriedly handed over the copper basin, and Liu Ying poured the hot water into it with his hands. Before Sanrui came to take over, he picked up the copper basin with one hand and a soft cloth towel with the other, and opened it. Through the curtains, the people on the bed can be seen sleeping soundly with quilts through the hanging mosquito net.

Wu Fu went up to set up the curtain, and Liu Ying soaked the cloth towel in hot water and wrung it half dry, and spread it out to cover the face that was about to shrink into the quilt.As soon as the hot and humid steam evaporated, the man woke up in a daze, with a small grunt from his throat, his eyes seemed to be open, and the bed squirmed slowly, and there was no movement the next moment.

Liu Ying took it for granted, stretched out a strong arm under his neck, supported him in his arms, took the cloth towel handed over by Wu Fu, wiped his head, face and neck carefully, and took out two hands to wipe him. Wipe it again.

After all this tossing, the person in his arms finally woke up and felt sleepy, but he still lazily leaned against Liu Ying's arms and didn't want to move.After a while, he stretched out his arm, indicating to get dressed.

After washing up, the drowsy Young Master Ran finally regained his usual energy, straightened his clothes, and went to the main courtyard to pay his respects to his mother in a dignified manner.

Ran's family is weak. Ran's mother had three sons. The eldest son died when he was young. The second son, Ran Zhonghui, studied and made progress.

Ran's father was already in poor health, but when he heard the bad news about his second son, his illness became worse and worse, and he passed away the next year.

Therefore, in the huge house of Ran's family, only Ran Jiqiu's mother and son, widowed sister-in-law Fang's and young niece are left.

Ran's mother, Mrs. Yu lived in the main courtyard, and her second sister-in-law, Mrs. Fang, lived in the backyard with her little niece. Ran Jiqiu was getting older, and because of the difference between his uncle and his sister-in-law, in order to avoid people gossiping, he informed Ran's mother early and moved to the Standing and sleeping in the front yard, except for daily planning and eating, rarely set foot in the inner yard.

Arriving at the main courtyard, Mrs. Fang was combing Ran's mother's face and hair. Mrs. Fang was skillful, and the style of combing her hair was steady and elegant, and Mrs. Ran loved to let her serve her.After tidying up, Ran Jiqiu had been waiting for a while.

Seeing the son who was coming up to her, Mother Ran's usually stern face relaxed a little bit, and the sharp nick between her brows faded a little.After Mrs. Fang helped her to sit down on the chair, Ran Jiqiu politely invited Ann, and Ran's mother ordered the dinner to be served.

Ran Jiqiu made an appointment with his classmates today to go to the mountains and look far away. There is a mountain dozens of miles away from Xicheng. There are not a few people who go to worship Buddha on the fifteenth day.

The journey was a bit long, and it would take two or three days to go back and forth, so Ran Jiqiu informed Ran's mother early, finished eating, listened to Ran's mother's instructions, and left the main courtyard.

Liu Ying was already waiting at the door.He folded his arms and leaned against the door frame, his eyes seemed to be staring indifferently at an undefeated Chinese rose in the yard.He is tall and tall, leaning against him like this, it seems that even the door opening has become narrow and cramped.

Sanrui followed Wufu busy looking for things to bring on the road, and when he passed by him, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Ran Jiqiu came out through the hallway, and saw Liu Ying, as if he was the only one in his eyes for a moment, his heart beat a little faster unconsciously.

"Have you eaten?" He walked over and asked.

The moment Liu Ying saw Ran Jiqiu, she straightened her body, put down her arms, and stood tall at the door, her eyes focused on following his steps.It looks like a fierce mastiff protecting its master.

At this time, when he heard Ran Jiqiu's question, he didn't answer, but just nodded, still staring at him.

Ran Jiqiu coughed lightly, took out an oiled paper bag from his sleeve, and stuffed it into his hand, "I like this dessert, you should try it too."

Liu Ying opened it and saw that it was glutinous rice meat loaf, small and exquisite four or five yuan, just right for a bite.

It was because Fang was afraid that he would be hungry on the way, so he ordered someone to make some snacks for him to eat on the way. Ran Jiqiu looked at it and asked someone to fetch oiled paper, picked out this color glutinous rice meat cake and wrapped it in his sleeves .

Seeing his little gesture, Fang immediately smiled: "It's not cheap to put it in the food box, you can take it anytime you want to eat, why bother to hide it in your sleeve pocket, isn't it troublesome?"

Ran Jiqiu also laughed, "What's so interesting about putting it in a food box? I'm just looking for a new trick, but it's a pity that the sleeve pocket is too small to fit so much."

Ran's mother said: "Qiu'er is a scholar, and he has his own reasons for doing things. As a sister-in-law, just take care of it according to his preferences."

Fang quickly responded.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law naturally couldn't think that this snack was specially hidden for Liu Ying.

Liu Ying looked at it, then wrapped it in oiled paper again, and held it in his hand.

Ran Jiqiu was slightly disappointed, Liu Ying looked at him and explained: "We'll eat later."

Ran Jiqiu let out a "huh" and didn't know what to say after thinking about it. He turned around in a circle and muttered: "Why haven't I packed it up for a long time..."

"The carriage is ready." Liu Ying asked after hearing that, "Shall we go out now?"

Ran Jiqiu nodded, and called Wufu again: "You don't need to clean up too much, and you don't want to live there for ten and a half months."

Wu Fu answered loudly, and Ran Jiqiu led Liu Ying out.

The carriage had already been harnessed, and it was parked outside the east corner gate.The coachman tied a length of rope around the horse's neck, and a cloth bag containing beans was tied under the rope, and the black horse pulling the cart stood there docilely chewing beans.

The shaft of the carriage was a bit high, and the coachman wanted to take out the footstool, but Liu Ying was one step ahead of him, pinching Ran Jiqiu's armpit from behind, and lifted him into the carriage with ease like a child.

When Ran Jiqiu's feet flew into the air, he raised his heart and held his breath. Before he could feel anything, his feet landed on the car the next moment.Standing firmly on his feet, he subconsciously turned his head to take a look. Liu Ying gave him a hand and raised his eyes to look at him.

Ran Jiqiu's face flushed slightly, and suddenly he didn't dare to look at him, and he got into the car with his mouth pursed, his heart still beating.

Liu Ying was tall and tall, and his two palms were like cattail fans. When he pinched his armpits and lifted them up, the broad palms almost covered half of his chest. If it was summer, he would have worn thinner clothes... …

Ran Jiqiu didn't dare to think about it anymore, he felt as if his face was about to emit smoke, it was scorching hot, he quickly memorized the sage's classics in his heart, and after a while, the heat on his face subsided a little.
