After hearing his sister’s words, Ling Lizhi turned around and became close to Fu Qingshan. It was because he had just entered the Ministry of Appointments.
At that time, the people from the Ministry of Appointments saw that he did not know anything. On the surface, they praised him in all sorts of ways, but in the dark, they pushed the most complicated things to him.
They sorted out the list of the past officials and compiled the official booklet for the recent promotions and demotions in the court… …
The dusty booklet was moved out of the warehouse. It was covered in a thick layer of dust. Ling Lizhi went every day in a bright and beautiful manner, returning with a dusty face.
He did not want his family to worry, so he took a detour to Fu Qingshan’s courtyard.
“Brother Fu, I almost became your brother-in-law. I have nowhere to go, so why don’t you take me in? ”
Ling Lizhi said pitifully.
Although the secret guard could tell at a glance that Ling Lizhi was deliberately pretending to be wronged.
However, Ling Lizhi was rather good-looking. His handsome and noble appearance was very similar to Ling Wangxi’s.
Seeing him like this, the secret guard immediately thought of the woman that his master had placed in his heart.
When he and his master had swapped places as Fu Qingshan, he had once faced Ling Wangxi directly.
The young girl’s appearance was beautiful, and her smile was a little shy and reserved. It could also overlap with the pitiful appearance of Ling Wangxi in front of him.
“come in. ”
The dark guard moved aside.
A path opened up in front of him.
His eyes lit up, and Ling Lizhi couldn’t wait to enter.
After entering, he looked at the clean courtyard and clicked his tongue a few times. Then, he looked at Fu Qingshan, and his expression changed.
“brother Fu, you’re really a particular person. You can still be so clean even if you live alone! ”
The Secret Guard said, “the children of the poor are used to living alone. ”
Ling Lizhi said, “that’s true. If my family wasn’t a public house, I would have learned how to clean it up a long time ago. ”
The secret guard glanced at him but didn’t say anything.
Based on what he knew of Ling Lizhi, even if he was born poor, he wasn’t the kind of person who knew how to do housework or tidy up the courtyard.
If you asked him to be a good-for-nothing, he wouldn’t even be qualified.
Usually, in the capital, it was said that he was ignorant and incompetent. But in reality, Ling Lizhi didn’t gamble or go whoring. The only fun he had was to gamble.
He was addicted to go, but he was a lousy go player!
The secret guards had gone with him a few times. Ling Lizhi played with all his might, but the person who played with him had a bitter expression on his face.
It was not because of his identity as the eldest young master of the High Duke’s Public House. It was possible that those who gambled on the bridge might not even be willing to gamble with him.
Who would play go and regret three moves with one move?
It was only Ling Lizhi!

Ling Lizhi looked around the courtyard and then went back into the house.
“Brother Fu, where is this bathing place of yours? Find me another robe. I’ll change it so I can go home. ”
He was very familiar with him and did not recognize him at all.
According to their superficial friendship, the Ling Public House had promised Fu Qingshan’s fianc��e to enter the palace, so how could Ling Lizhi still have the face to call him brother?
However, he had underestimated Ling Lizhi.
Not only did Ling Lizhi have it, but his face was also very big, which was why his skin was so thick.
The dark guard said indifferently, “there’s no place for you to take a bath, only a wooden bucket. Boil the water yourself. ”
“Alright. ” Ling Lizhi came out of the house and saw the wooden bucket.
He looked in the courtyard, then walked to the kitchen in front of the dark guard.
The kitchen was a brick stove built by his own family.
The secret guard used his toes to think. He knew that Ling Lizhi definitely did not know how to use it.
He followed him in.
As expected, young master Ling squatted in front of the pitch-black Stove and stared blankly at the crackling firewood beside him.
Hearing his footsteps, Ling Lizhi turned his head.
“Brother Fu, teach me how to light this stove. ”
His eyes were filled with sincerity. There was a clear distinction between black and white. He was not faking it at all.
Although he was dressed in fine clothes, the way he squatted in front of the stove with his face covered in dirt actually looked a little cute.
At first, he did not want to bother about it and just wanted to see him suffer some setbacks.
But now, the secret guard changed his mind.
“You watch. ”
He walked over and went to Ling Lizhi’s side.
Holding a ladle, the secret guard first added water to the pot and a big pot of cold water. Then, he covered the pot with a lid.
After that, he squatted down and started to demonstrate lighting the fire.
Beside the pile of firewood, there was a pile of Straw to start the fire.
He stuffed the straw into the stove first and then placed the wood and firewood under the stove.
There had to be a certain amount of space in between so that when the fire was lit, the Straw would burn to ignite the wood.
The Secret Guard said calmly, “I’ll help you light the fire. Wait for a while, you can look at the fire yourself. The Pot is emitting hot steam, which means that the water is boiling. Call me when the time comes. ”
He was very familiar with the operation.
Very soon, the fire in the stove was burning vigorously.
He got up and handed the pot back to Ling Lizhi.
Ling Lizhi watched from the side and felt that it was quite easy.
Wasn’t it just adding Tea to light the fire It wasn’t as difficult as lighting a fire.
“Alright, I’ll look after it myself. You can go and do your work first, ” Ling Lizhi replied.
*
After the secret guard left, Ling Lizhi looked at the fire.
Not long after, the fire was extinguished.
He wanted to light the fire. He stuffed some Straw into the fire and took out a lighter.
He lit the fire a few times, but it was not lit.
Just like the secret guard, Ling Lizhi leaned over and blew at the bottom of the pot.
“HUFF huff”
The black ash rolled up the firewood ash and rushed out from the bottom of the pot.
“COUGH COUGH! ” Ling Lizhi was mesmerized. His eyes were even more mesmerized by the Sundries. It was painful and itchy. It was unbearable.
He rubbed his eyes and coughed heavily as he came out of the kitchen.
The Secret Guard was sitting in the study room reading, and he had been paying attention to the movements in the kitchen.
When he heard the coughing sound, he had already walked out of the study room, and the person he bumped into was Ling Lizhi, who had walked out of the kitchen.
“What’s wrong? ” The secret guard frowned.
He looked at Ling Lizhi’s disheveled appearance. His hair and body, which were originally a little dusty, were now even more pathetic.
For some reason, the Black Pot of ashes was touched by Ling Lizhi on his face, and his entire face was messed up.
His eyes were probably blurred with ash, but when he covered them, there was a clear tear mark on his face. This was the physiological tear after his eyes were blurred.
“blurred eyes, Haha. ” Ling Lizhi laughed dryly.
Standing in the courtyard, looking at Fu Qingshan’s slightly furrowed brows, Ling Lizhi was also embarrassed.
He originally thought that starting a fire to boil water was quite simple, but he didn’t expect… … Heh, forget about it …
Ling Lizhi: “Brother Fu, can you help me get some clean water? I’ll rinse this eye and see if I can get the dirty stuff out. ”
“okay, ” the secret guard replied.
He went into the kitchen and scooped up a scoop of water.
He came out to help Ling Lizhi Rinse.
The water was taken into Ling Lizhi’s hands and washed his face.
After a few times, the blurry gray eyes finally came out, but Ling Lizhi’s eyes were red and swollen, and there were all kinds of blood vessels in them.
Looking at the secret guard, he was originally a wronged dog, but now he was more like a pitiful red-eyed rabbit.
“Brother Fu… ” he looked at the secret guard.
The Secret Guard: “Huh? ”
“Help me, on account that we almost became in-laws! ” Ling Lizhi turned to the secret guard and looked at him with a smile.
The secret guard said, “you mean, you want me to boil water for you? ”
Ling Lizhi said,”… Hmm, can’t I?”
The Secret Guard said, “do it yourself. ”
“Okay, okay… ” Ling Lizhi sighed.
He lowered his head and was about to go into the kitchen.
In front of him, the Secret Guard who had turned around had already entered the kitchen.
Ling Lizhi followed behind and watched the secret guard light the fire to boil water again.
“Brother Fu, you’re really a good person! ” Ling Lizhi was extremely happy.
The secret guard said, “okay. ”
Ling Lizhi was the first person to say that he was a good person.
Just because of this sentence, the secret guard helped Ling Lizhi boil water, helped Ling Lizhi rush into the wooden bucket, and helped Ling Lizhi change his clothes.
“Brother Fu, you look similar to me. I didn’t expect your clothes to be so big! ”
Ling Lizhi wore the secret guard’s clothes and rolled up his sleeves. He looked like a child who had stolen an adult’s clothes.
The height difference between the two of them was not much, but Ling Lizhi wore the secret guard’s clothes, so his shoulders looked empty.
This was probably because the secret guard had been practicing martial arts all year round. He looked like a weak scholar, but in reality, his body and chest were very sturdy.
As for Ling Lizhi… … He had never trained before, and he was also a profligate silkpants who didn’t know martial arts …
Therefore, he only had a good-looking face, and his body was slender and thin.
This kind of person, the secret guard could put him down with one finger, and he could even hit three or four of them with one hand.
*
The Secret Guard looked at Ling Lizhi.
He really couldn’t think of the meaning of living in this world like Ling Lizhi.
Being a silkpants was not enough.
He did not know how to do anything and was even bullied by others in the Ministry of Appointments.
In fact… …
He was raised to be spoiled and could not even light a fire. If his master were to make a move against the Ling Public House one day, Ling Lizhi would not even be able to support himself and even his own family!
The secret guards could not imagine what kind of scene that would be!
*
“Brother Fu, why are you looking at me like that? Don’t, we are both men. If you look at me like that, I would think that you have taken a liking to me. Haha. ”
Ling Lizhi laughed.
He did not know that his words had hit a sore spot in the dark guard.
“No one will take a fancy to you. ” The dark guard’s face turned cold.
He turned around and left the room. He did not want to stay with Ling Lizhi, who was so heartless.
After following JI yuan for so many years, the dark guard’s sexual orientation had always been well hidden.
*
“Don’t, brother Fu. I was just joking. ” Ling Lizhi chased out of the room.
He grabbed the dark guard’s sleeve.
He stopped the dark guard’s footsteps and respectfully went in front of the dark guard.
He cupped his hands and bowed to the guard.
“thank you for taking me in today, brother Fu. You helped me boil some water and even lent me some clothes. I don’t need to thank you, I’ll repay you in the future. ”
The guard replied, “mm. I don’t need you to repay me. ”
In the future?
In the future, when Ling Lizhi was in a sorry state, the guard would not help him anymore.
He would not even open the door for him!
Ling Lizhi said, “No, brother Fu, if you do this, I’ll think that you’re angry with me. What kind of relationship do we have? WHO’s with whom? This must be my illusion. ”
“Haha, brother Fu, I’ll bring a pot of wine next day. Let’s stay in this courtyard and get drunk! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good drink together. ”
The secret guard looked at him, “I can’t drink recently. ”
He was never the one who drank with Ling Lizhi before. It was always JI yuan.
Ji Yuan wanted to get some information from Ling Lizhi.
Ling Lizhi wasn’t very useful. He had a lot of small problems.
