November, as the end of the year approaches, snow has begun to fall in some northern prefectures and counties, and the New Year is coming.

The weather in Chang'an City suddenly became colder. The elderly, children, and those who were slightly weaker, were already wearing cotton robes for the winter.

Liu Ertiao walked out of the study room with a rare opportunity and ordered his servant to move out the rattan chair with his back and sit in the yard to bask in the sun.

Since Liu Yi left, Liu Erjie was meaningless when he stayed alone at home, so he simply handed over all the family affairs to Liu Wuchen to take care of. He moved to Chang'an's house with Xue Rengui and the book boy Liu Yan.

This place is close to the Shangshu Mansion where Wang Zhihong is located. If you have any questions, it is convenient to ask his mentor directly for advice.

Now Liu Ertiao no longer has the intention of talking about love. Su Chenxi, who had a glimpse of him on Chang'an Street, was also thrown behind him and pressed down on his heart. Such things like mirrors and moons will fade over time.

After the re-examination, he became an official.

This is the only thought in Liu Ertou's mind now.

Xue Rengui still stood silently behind him. For two months, this has been the case every day. Liu Erjo has also changed from awkwardness at the beginning to a habit now.

Xue Rengui's martial arts should be good, because the day before Gongsun Helan decided to join the army, he came to Liu Mansion to compete with Xue Rengui. That time, Gongsun Helan went out with his legs, while Xue Rengui was torn apart by a piece of clothing.

I remember when I went out that day, Gongsun Helan once patted Liu Ertiao on the shoulder and said, "I now know why my elder brother value Xue Li so much. Having such a person by your side protects you is a blessing for you. I will feel at ease when I leave."

After saying that, Gongsun Helan also gave Liu Ertiao a silver moon order, saying that in the future, if someone bullies you in Chang'an City, you just need to use this sign to smash it.

He is the eldest brother's good brother. Liu Ertiao squinted his eyes and still felt a little sad when he remembered Gongsun Helan when he left.

Hearing footsteps approaching here, Liu Erzhao opened his eyes slightly, closed it gently, and a helpless expression appeared on his face.

Wang Caiyi, Wang Zhihong's niece, is fourteen years old. He is the youngest daughter of Wang Zhihong's eldest brother Wang Chongji. He is lively and cute. After meeting Liu Erjo in Yanshu Mansion two months ago, he developed a strong interest in Liu Erjo. When Liu Erjo was studying, he was always by Liu Erjo's side.

Liu Ertiao didn't hate her, and she could even say she was a little happy, but she was pestered by her all day long, Liu Yi always felt very, well, helpless. She couldn't beat, scold, and could not hide.

"This damn Li Biao, maybe she will take her again." Liu Ertiao gritted his teeth and pushed all the problems to Li Biao who was guarding the gate. He originally wanted to call Li Biao to give him a quiet place, but he didn't expect that Li Biao was even worse than others. This kid actually had a problem of being soft-hearted when he saw a beautiful girl.

Look at Wang Caiyi, who is just fourteen years old. Although his body has not yet developed completely, he has grown all the parts he should have. His face is smooth and rosy, his facial features are delicate and coordinated, and his voice is crisp like a warbler. He can be regarded as a little beauty.

Xue Rengui looked around, but there was no doubt about the person who was not found or suspected. After chuckling, he called Liu Erzhao and then turned around and entered the room tactfully. At the same time, he also greeted Liu Yan and the servants next to him, leaving enough space for Liu Erzhao and Wang Caiyi.

"Brother Erzhao, hum, I know you should be resting now!" Seeing that Liu Erzhao was indeed lying in the yard, Wang Caiyi laughed proudly, and then trotted happily. Behind her, there was a young little maid holding a brown food box in her hand.

That was Xiaohe, Wang Caiyi's close maid, a very shy girl, who blushed when she spoke. In front of Liu Ertiao and their lady, she would always blush and lower her head without saying a word.

"Xiaohe, take out the things quickly, otherwise it will be cold in a while." When he reached Liu Ertiao's side, Wang Caiyi opened his mouth and ordered Xiaohe.

"Caiyi, what are you doing?" Liu Erzhao sat up from the rattan chair and looked at Wang Caiyi helplessly. Every time he saw her naughty appearance, Liu Erzhao would unconsciously think of their Xiaohui. I remember that the little girl was so lively at home in the past.

"Nothing is going to do it, Brother Erzhao, this is the pastry I brought to you specially. I secretly brought it from the kitchen. Look, it's still hot, you can try it!" As he said that, Wang Caiyi took out a golden square cake ball from the food box and handed it to Liu Erzhao's mouth.

It is very fragrant, sweet, and soft. A hint of warmth arises in Liu Ertou's heart.

Since his parents and elder brother left without saying goodbye, only Wang Caiyi has thought of him the most.

"Is it delicious? Come on, eat another piece!" As he said that, another piece entered Liu Ertiao's mouth.

"Okay, I've eaten too. If you have anything, just say it. As long as it can be done by Brother Erzhao, you will never disappoint you!" Liu Erzhao put the last piece of pastry into his mouth and swallowed it into his stomach. He spoke to Wang Caiyi.

To win people's hearts is a trick that Liu Xiaohui used to be a common trick, and it was not the first time Wang Caiyi was using it. Liu Ertiao had already known it, but he didn't point it out every time.

"Really? Brother Erzhao!" Wang Caiyi's eyes rolled, and his eyes emitted a light that made Liu Erzhao feel a little scared.

"Well, that, tell me," he agreed too early, and Liu Ertiao glanced at Wang Caiyi with some fear.

"You know too. The tenth day of next month is my father's birthday. I want to give him a gift he unexpectedly." After looking at Liu Erzhao, Wang Caiyi continued: "I know that my father likes the calligraphy and painting written by Brother Liu You in Uncle San's study very much, so I wonder if Brother Erzhao still has it here?"

"This," Liu Ertiao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Although my brother doesn't write many new calligraphy and paintings, there are still a few more at home. If my uncle likes it, I will take you to choose one for him later."

When Liu Yi taught Luo Binwang's calligraphy, he once wrote a lot of books for him, so Liu Yi's handwriting was rare outside, but it was common in Liu's house.

"Okay, but," Wang Caiyi's little face suddenly turned red. He glanced at Liu Erzhao and said, "Get ready first, then, I will ask Brother Erzhao to send it to my father in person!"

"Well, this is true. I should prepare a gift for Uncle Wang's birthday." Liu Ertiao nodded slightly, and without thinking, he agreed in one go.

"Okay, then we'll make a decision. Xiaohe can be a certificate. I'll wait for you to come!" Seeing Liu Erzhao agreeing, Wang Caiyi happily hooked his fingers with Liu Erzhao, and Xiaohe, who was beside him, shyly lowered her head.

"The head of the house, Li Jihe, the commander of the East Palace guard, is here to visit, and is waiting in the hall now." At this time, Li Biao pulled his body and trotted from the front yard, bowed to report to Liu Ertiao, and smiled honestly at Wang Caiyi and Xiaohe.

Li Jihe is also a friend of his elder brother and a neighbor of their Liu Mansion. Since Liu Erzhao moved here, Li Jihe has helped them a lot.

"Well, Caiyi, you and Xiaohe will sit in the study for a while, and I'll go out to take a look." Liu Erzhao stood up, greeted Wang Caiyi, and then took Li Biao to the front yard. Behind them, Xue Rengui followed him out at some point.

"Brother Li!" Seeing Li Jihe sitting in the living room drinking tea, Liu Erzhao bowed to him last time, then sat down at the head of the living room, looking at Li Jihe and asked, "Why does Brother Li have free time to come here today, but what official duties do you have?"

It was less than noon, and before that, Li Ji and the guard commander should still be working in the East Palace.

"No, Ji He is going to go out for a long trip tomorrow and do some errands and will not come back for some days. I want to come and see it before leaving," Liu Yi disappeared. Li Jihe has been taking good care of his only brother for the past few months. After all, Liu Yi saved their family's life, and Li Jihe is not the kind of person who knows how to be kind.

"So that's it. Brother Lao Li is worried," he bowed to Li Jihe sincerely, and Liu Erzhao said, "I'm here to wish Brother Li a smooth trip!"

"Haha, I'll borrow two good brothers from the good words!" Li Jihe chuckled, but there was a hint of darkness in his eyes, as if he was worried about something.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Jihe glanced at Liu Ertiao, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke to Liu Ertiao: "During this time, I have been ordered to search for Mr. Liu's whereabouts. The reason why Mr. Liu avoided him was just a clue. This time I went there to confirm it, hoping to gain something."

"Brother Li found my brother and the others' whereabouts? Where are they?" Liu Ertiao asked anxiously.

"No, Mr. Liu still has no trace. Ji He went here just to check who was the mastermind behind the scenes who wanted to assassinate Mr. Liu?" Li Jihe's face was a little dim. He seemed to have known something.
