Chapter 39: Reprimand

Xiaoyu was very tired after running for a day, and after lying on the bed and thinking for a while, Zhou Zhen slowly fell asleep. Before I got up early the next morning, I heard Yang Baochen practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Pushing open the window and seeing that it was still early, Shi Shiran washed up and went to find the fifth brother vividly, but he didn't expect the fifth brother to come out of the room with two huge dark circles under his eyes. Xiaoyu was startled: "Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"

The fifth brother was worried about being a county official, Xiaoyu shouted, and the fifth brother remembered that it was Xiaoyu's mouthy talk that made Zhou Zhen notice him, so he didn't say in a good voice: "It's not you?" What did you say yesterday, my fifth brother has been working as an errand in the yamen at a young age. Now that people have asked me to be a county official, what should I do with this hot potato?"

Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know that you can't be a county official, if you can't resign." I'll go find Xue Yu later, and let him introduce me to you, and I'll help you push this errand later. Brother, why are you restless and so angry that you can't sleep? ”

The fifth brother's face turned red as soon as he brushed the ground, and he lowered his head and said, "I'm just saying a few words in vain, your temper is actually bigger than mine." ”

Xiaoyu didn't say anything, just looked at him and smiled.

The fifth brother became more and more embarrassed, the brother and sister were embarrassed, and a half-grown son ran out of Chen Peng's room in the east house, and nodded and saluted in a panic when he saw the fifth brother and Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu saw that he had a big face, and his eyes were smart and sharp. He wore a gray cloth jacket and coarse cloth pants underneath. Chen Peng and Lao Kuai also came out of the room with a tired face, and when they saw Xiaoyu, they hurriedly introduced: "This is Da Yongzi, I asked him to bring a letter to your second brother, so that he won't worry about us." ”

Xiaoyu said happily when she heard this: "Then you prepare the things on the road first, and I happen to write a note to bring it over." ”

While speaking, he looked at Chen Peng's expression, and saw that he seemed to be in a hurry when he wiped his hands, and hurriedly relieved: "I write very fast." couldn't delay his trip. Yibi said that Yibi turned his head to look at the half-sized man: "Da Yongzi, you are ready, just come and get it from me." ”

Xiaoyu saw Da Yongzi walking away quickly, and secretly thought in his heart: That old man was in a hurry last night, and the second brother and they only had to delay the trip for five or six days, and Brother Chen was in such a hurry to deliver the letter, which shows that there is something big about the second brother and Brother Fang at the moment. Last night, I said that the brother on the mountain, could it be that the second brother has not been here for a long time, and the people who can't keep the top things in it want to be dominant.

Xiaoyu was busy while thinking about it, and asked the fifth brother for a pen and paper, grinding ink, and sure enough, the pen was able to write after a while. Her words are the posts of several brothers. If you don't look at the content, it's what a good article looks like. If you look at the content, you will really be angry with Dayongzi. ran a horse overnight to deliver letters, chattering just about her clothes and snacks. Don't forget what furnishings, don't let Rulan play badly, and so on. At the end, he asked the fifth brother if he had anything to say: "Do you want to write that Xiaoyu sister has found me an errand for a county official, I dislike that this official position is too small, enough to be able to display my ability." ”

This time made the fifth brother blush, and secretly thought, this girl can't really write like this. hurriedly wanted to come over, and also pretended to add a few words, nothing more than that: "Just arrived in the city, Xiaoyu was lucky and casually mentioned it, and they gave me the appointment document of the county official of a small county, if the second sister-in-law's aunt is sick, please come over quickly." I went to work three days later, and Xiaoyu was here alone and no one took care of him. ”

At this time, Da Yongzi also packed up, put on a jacket on his body, and his calves were also leggings, and he led a horse behind him, Xiaoyu looked at the horse, and then took the letter and read it to Da Yongzi. Yang Baochen listened to it on the side, and said in his heart: "This Xiucai's family letter is also the same as our people's family. The fifth brother's face turned red when he heard this, and he told her to stop reading. Xiaoyu raised his head and said, I read it to him useful. After reading it, he explained: "If this letter is accidentally lost, nothing else is enough, you remember what I just read and say a little." But if my fifth brother wants to be a county official, you must sue the second brother. ”

The fifth brother was embarrassed by her again. Da Yongzi nodded in response, Chen Peng sent Da Yongzi away, and then turned his head to discuss with the fifth brother and Xiaoyu: "I haven't been to the horse farm on the mountain for a few days, so I won't go over to see the house with you today, so go to the horse farm with Lao Kuai first." ”

The fifth brother is also a little worried in his heart, but now he is too busy to take care of himself, and he really doesn't have time to ask, and he doesn't know much about the things on the rivers and lakes. At this time, he could only comfort: "Brother Chen, don't worry, let's go and have a look today." ”

When Yang Baochen heard this, he stood up and said, "Brother Chen, why don't I go over with you to have a look." Before the words fell, I heard Xiaoyu slap the table, and a small face immediately darkened. Chen Pengyuan had the heart to take Yang Baochen with him, and when he saw Xiaoyu like this, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Xiaoyu is also inseparable here. ”

Yang Baochen saw that Chen Peng and the others were in a hurry, so he forgot to discuss it with Xiaoyu in advance, and then secretly regretted it in his heart: "This girl is the most cautious, she eats soft and not hard, flatters well, and is very easy to talk to." It's just a little overstep, and the temper is so big, and when you say it, you will turn your face. ”

Yang Baochen thought for a while and said, "Master, I will go to the racecourse to help the second brother in a few days, do you see if I am ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyu's face was so gloomy that even Sun Haoran and Xu Liangqi howled. Especially Xu Liangqi, who has always felt that this girl is really innocent and interesting, watching her squint and stand up and walk towards Yang Baochen with squinted eyes, she couldn't help but take two steps back in her heart. Suddenly, I remembered that Xiaoyu was attacking Yang Baochen, but it was actually none of my business, so I hurriedly stopped my steps.

Yang Baochen smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that this time he was very offended, and he stammered a little for a while: "I think I'd better follow the master to see the house." ”

Xiaoyu said slowly, word by word: "The top priority is to find a suitable house." The house we are looking at today, if it looks appropriate, we will have to find out the person who is pretending to be a ghost behind his back in the next few days. Brother Chen is here, I still have to borrow your strength. Where do you want to go? Could it be that I want to go up and arrest people myself? As for where you go, when I'm done with this, we'll be slowly deliberating. ”

Yang Baochen shuddered, and said in his heart: "Didn't you just plan it before, you want to enter the camp, become a captain, and marry a daughter-in-law, why do you have to re-plan it, I think the previous plan is very good." ”

Sun Haoran and the fifth brother both stood near the courtyard wall, looking at a few cabbage seedlings on the ground seriously. Only Xu Liangqi listened blankly with his mouth wide open, and after thinking about it, he felt that although this matter was indeed what she said. It's just that I don't know why, such a simple homely idea made her say it like this, and it sounds like a crazy person who can't be said. It seems that if she is not careful, this girl is about to become a monster, not only those powerful ghosts, but also they are going to eat them together.

Xu Liangqi couldn't help but look back at the fifth brother, and said in his heart: Your sister is so scary, you don't care about it. Unexpectedly, the fifth brother was squatting on the ground at this moment, and he was gently poking the little seedling to the left with one finger, and as if he thought it was funny, he poked it to the right again, and poked it back and forth several times. Xu Liangqi heard Xiaoyu call him sweetly: "Brother Liangqi, it's almost time, let's go." Xu Liangqi was depressed, Yang Baochen opposite him was flushed with training, and he was a big man standing crampedly behind Xiaoyu. As for Chen Peng and the others, they didn't know where they had gone for a long time.

Zhou Zhen lived in his eldest brother's mansion, northwest of King Yi's mansion. When I arrived at Zhou's house, I saw the black lacquered gate, and the high courtyard wall was paved with glazed tiles, and the sun had risen at this time, and the blue sky, a few traces of white clouds and shiny glazed tiles, it was very good-looking.

The fifth brother stepped forward and knocked on the knocker on the door, and after a while, an old man walked out of the side door, and said without waiting for the fifth brother to introduce: "A few of them are from the Xia family." Wait a minute, you guys. After a while, Zhou Zhen's little servant came out, it was the one who took the paperwork yesterday, and he spoke very politely: "Mr. Xia, Uncle was very happy to hear that you were willing to go to the county to help, and I was so happy to see you early in the morning." Unfortunately, the prince sent someone to explain some affairs, do you think you have to see the house, let's come back to see the uncle. Fortunately, the house is not far from here, and since a few people are riding horses, it is very fast. ”

The fifth brother naturally had nothing to do, so everyone followed him to the corner gate on the side, someone had already prepared a horse, and the little guy got on the horse and led everyone to the house.

Everyone surrounded the little guy in the middle, and asked about the house: "Why is Yanbei so good, and the family still has to move out?"

The little guy pursed his lips and said, "Speaking of which, the old lady of their family also came from the south, and it turned out that she relied on the steward in Vice General Liu's mansion to do the business of military uniforms. Later, Vice General Liu died in battle, and Vice General Liu's family returned to their hometown in the south. He couldn't continue his business, and it was cold here, so he moved his family back to the south. ”

"Earlier, I wanted to sell the house and leave, but I don't know how it was rumored that the house was haunted. They can't wait, seeing that the weather is getting cold, and if they don't leave in the autumn, it will cost a lot to wait until winter. So he entrusted the house to a friend, and at that time it was sold for eight hundred taels, and then the haunted was only sold for five hundred taels. ”

Xiaoyu nodded, thinking, "This money is also a lot, and we may not be able to take it out." But since he opened eight hundred taels, this house should still be passable. At that time, I discussed it with Zhou Gongzi and asked him to pay the money first, and pay it back with the fifth brother as a county official, which would be even better. ”
