Xia Mingche was about to leave as he spoke, but Chan Yi hurriedly stopped him and said: "Second brother, he is injured but can still have such strength, which shows that he is not an idler, if he makes trouble now, I am afraid that our family will be thankless, it is better to let him recuperate from his injuries and then send him away, and I have promised him before, if you go, won't I become a villain who rebels?"

Xia Mingche glanced at her helplessly, he had spoiled this only sister since he was a child, she said so, he had to sigh, reached out and tapped her forehead fiercely.

"When will you take care of this soft-hearted problem, it used to be just for the kitten and the dog, but now it has become a big living person, leave him in the inner house, if he has a bad heart, you say in the middle of the night, what should we do?"

Chanyi was stunned, and her heart suddenly became alarmed, she was so gullible in her previous life, and in the end, she ended up like that, and started again, obviously reminding herself not to be too gullible to others, but when she encountered things, she came unconsciously according to the character of the previous life.

Xia Mingche saw that Chanyi's face became ugly, knowing that her words had been listened to by her, he thought for a while and said, "In this way, I will send two people to guard the rain shelter, if he has any bad intentions, I will find out and deal with it in time." ”

Chanyi pursed her lips, hung her head, and said in a somewhat nasal voice: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I just went my own way, and I didn't think about it so thoroughly." ”

Xia Mingche touched her hair and coaxed softly: "Okay, fortunately, you know that you know to sue the second brother, the second brother will help you deal with the aftermath of this matter, if you encounter something in the future, tell the second brother, the second brother will help you, don't make a rash decision by yourself, you know?"

Chanyi nodded, her soft-hearted problem can really kill people, she is secretly vigilant, she can't do this again in the future.

Xia Mingche asked Xia to call Xia Qi and followed Chanyi to the rain shelter.

Chanyi went in to collect the food box, and by the moonlight outside, she was stunned and didn't find anyone in the house, sighed and said softly: "Tomorrow my second brother will send you out of the house, today you can sleep well in the house and take care of it, the door is Xia Qi, you can call him if you have something." ”

After saying that, she put away the food box and walked out, and a low voice came from the room: "Hmm." ”

The man hiding in the shadows looked at the girl and paused, took away the food box, and closed the door softly, and there was a low voice outside the door.

"You work hard tonight, don't let people approach, the second master will come over tomorrow morning, he has injuries, you take care of them more." "The girl's voice is clear and soft, which is very comfortable to listen to.

"The minions understand. "It's the voice of a little guy.

Then the girl's footsteps faded away, the door was pushed open, and a man dressed as a small maid came in, looked around, saw no one, and sat down on the small stool without care, and looked out the window with his chin in his hand.

It seems that he is a very well-behaved subordinate, the man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the body of the cabinet and slipped down, the wound on his back was a little deep, he put on some medicinal powder, temporarily stopped the bleeding, and sat on the ground a little cold, but he didn't care, closed his eyes.

The night was silent.

When Chanyi woke up the next morning, she found that her eyes were a little blue, and she came back last night and thought about it for half the night, for fear that the man would cause something in the house, and she didn't fall asleep until the second watch.

After washing and dressing, she went to Fushoutang for a morning ceremony, Xia Mingche came in after her, greeted Mrs. Xia, and had breakfast together, Xia Mingche went to a friend's house outside the city under the pretext of saying that his friend borrowed a book from the Guozijian, and he happened to need it, so he went to his house.

Mrs. Xia nodded, it will be spring in a while, and she can't delay it, so she hurriedly asked Chanyi to take the right card and order someone to prepare the carriage.

Xia Mingche went all the way back to the rain shelter, Xia Qi stayed up all night, he was already very sleepy, heard the door open, hurriedly stood up, saw that it was Xia Mingche, breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted: "Second master." ”

The man had already been alert, standing by the cabinet, his hand behind his back, his palm clenching the dagger.

Xia Mingche nodded and glanced at the man hidden behind the cabinet, and found that the man's figure hidden behind the cabinet was very strong, and he glanced at Xia Qi again, Xia Qi's small clothes were quite wide, he asked Xia Qi to take off his coat, gave it to the man, and said, "You quickly change it on, I will send you out of the house." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and when he came out, he was not very tall, his complexion was very white, and if he looked closely, his facial features were very clear, and he didn't look like a vicious gangster at all.

Xia Mingche didn't expect the man who broke into the house to look like this, so he was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly change it." ”

The man bowed, "Thank you!"

After speaking, he began to change clothes, and if he looked closely, he could see that he was indeed injured, and although the action of dressing did not come out, it was still a little unneat.

Xia Mingche asked Xia Qi to recomb the man's head in the house, and the man hung his head and followed Xia Mingche out.

When the servants who got up early saw Xia Mingche, they saluted one after another, "Second master!"

Xia Mingche nodded, didn't say anything, got into the carriage, and the man kept hanging his head, and he followed at this moment.

The carriage drove into Xiangze Street, the street was still deserted, some shops would not open until the seventh or eighth day of the new year, and from time to time there were officials with knives passing by on the street, which looked orderly.

Xia Mingche withdrew his gaze and asked, "Where do you want me to send you?"

The man's eyes fell on the official walking on the street, and his brow furrowed, "Send me out of the city." ”

Xia Mingche glanced at him, and just wanted to ask his identity, but before he could say anything, he was suddenly attracted by a person on the street, and hurriedly asked the coachman to stop the car, and shouted loudly to the man: "Boyan!

The man was wearing an official uniform, which was the style of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and when he heard someone calling him, he hurriedly stopped, turned his head and looked around, and found Xia Mingche, and said with a smile while greeting him: "Xia Jinyu, where are you going?"

The man in the car immediately shrank himself behind the curtain and remained motionless as soon as Xia Mingche made a move.

Xia Mingche noticed his movements, his eyes flashed with a very fast light, and he spoke to Shen Boyan quietly, "Go out of the city and go to Li Shumo's house to borrow a book." ”

Shen Boyan undoubtedly had his jokes: "Jinyu works so hard, I have to take the champion exam in the spring of this year, and I can go out to show off that I have a champion brother." ”

Xia Mingche laughed and arched his hand: "Borrow your auspicious words, what about you, is there something in the yamen so early in the morning?"

Shen Boyan's smile fell, and he said angrily: "Hey, don't mention it, it's a big New Year, I don't know which thief is so short-sighted, he hit the idea to the Dingguo Mansion and looted the dowry of Wang Shengkun's daughter, this morning the Wang family came to report the case, and I am in charge of this part of Dongcheng, and I can't be idle now, really, if I catch the thief, I must give him a few colors to see, and the New Year will not let people live in peace!"
