27. The twenty-seventh step of the minister

For Hu Li, Jiangnan is simply heaven. Because the people of Jiangnan live a richer life than other places, they also have more thoughts on eating, drinking and having fun. Hu Li saw that he was soaking in the major restaurants, and he licked his stomach every day to go back.

Xiao Qiao occasionally accompanied Hu Li out and took him to some other places, and he stared at the major restaurants every day.

Xia Ling's people have developed well, at least Jiangnan already has a branch, with Xia Qi, the only woman among the ten people at the beginning, and Xia Qi now as the hall master.

The day after Xiao Qiao arrived in Jiangnan, Xia Qi went to the house where they live now. Xiao Qiao is still very satisfied with Xia Qi, Xia Qi has done the easiest and most difficult skin business in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Qinglou Pavilion is a good place to collect news, and Xiao Qiao learned a lot about the involvement between officials in Jiangnan from Xia Qi.

For this embezzlement case, in fact, even if he doesn't come, he can still find out. If it weren't for the fact that he came out to play with Hu Li, he might not have come over.

Xiao Qiao went through the affairs of the Jiangnan Prefect in his mind, and made sure that there was nothing missing, so he let Hu Li eat in this Jiangnan Mansion.

Although he knew that Hu Li was a demon and might not have eaten his stomach, Xiao Qiao still controlled Hu Li's appetite, so as not to make him the first little fox to eat too much and die of it.

The women in Jiangnan are not like the women in the imperial city, they occasionally come out together and look around. When the weather is good, they will go boating in the lake, and with their respective talents, it is a beautiful scenery.

Hu Li sat on the deck, holding his cheeks and looking at a boat not far away that was bursting with laughter from time to time, Xiao Qiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he poured himself a cup of tea, "What, do you like any girl?" ”

Hu Li was stunned for a moment, "Ah! ”

"Why, don't you fancy a girl?" Xiao Qiao took a sip of tea, raised his eyes lightly and glanced at him, "I think those girls are too and not suitable for you." You have to find someone who is willing to spoil you, get used to you, and be able to support you. ”

Like me!

Hu Li blushed suddenly, and shook his head again and again, "Brother Xiao, don't talk nonsense. I just listened to them play the piano and play it beautifully, so far away, they all wore veils, and I couldn't see their appearance, how could I fall in love with people! ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qiao raised his eyes and looked over, and saw a piece of red, red, green and green, and said with a smile, "These girls don't look as good as you even if they take off their veils, come here, let me tell you what we are going to do next." ”

Hu Li was interested in this, and instantly forgot about the group of girls, sat next to Xiao Qiao, and looked at Xiao Qiao expectantly, "Brother Xiao, are we going to attack them at night?" For example, we put on night clothes to investigate the situation, or we pretended to be kidnappers to arrest the prefect and torture him to extract confessions. ”

Xiao Qiao helplessly looked at Hu Li as if he had fallen into his own fantasy, knocked on his forehead with a smile, looked at him holding his forehead and glaring at him, and said with a smile, "What kind of mess do you have in your head." ”

"Can't you? I've heard that people are the most relaxed time at night, maybe we can know a lot of things by pretending to be ghosts and scaring the prefect? Hu Li's eyes rolled, he was full of expectations for being able to visit the prefect's mansion at night.

When Xiao Qiao heard this, he was suddenly stunned. Hu Li's method is not unusable, he remembers that in the old things that Xia Qi found out, the prefect once killed him because of political disagreements with his wife and brother, and since then, the prefect has felt guilty and weak about his wife.

It can be seen that the killing of his wife and brother has definitely had a great impact on him.

"So you want to try it?" Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li's expectant look, and suddenly wanted to tease him, so he asked.

Hu Li nodded violently, and said in his mouth, "Well, when I read the script, it said that many heroes or powerful officials would use this trick to check what they didn't know." ”

Xiao Qiao had no choice but to hold his forehead, and sure enough, it was from the script.

"In the future, read less scripts, and when you have this time, how do you remember the scriptures of poetry I asked you to learn?"

Hu Li suddenly lay on the table with a sloppy face, "Brother Xiao, that poem is so difficult to remember, I only remembered a few articles." ”

"It's hard to remember, it's just for you to memorize the first ten." Xiao Qiao rubbed Hu Li's hair with a smile, messed up his hair, and tied him up again in Hu Li's protests.

"Okay, I'll listen to you once, and I'll go to the prefect's mansion at night." Xiao Qiao pinched Hu Li's cheeks, and Hu Li instantly became happy, "Really? How do we go to the prefect's mansion at night? ”

Xiao Qiao smiled, "Just listen to you, go pretend to be a ghost and scare him." ”

"Oh - that's great!" Hu Li happily jumped three feet high, grinned and leaned on Xiao Qiao's back, "Brother Xiao, let's go and buy night clothes." ”

Xiao Qiao couldn't cry and laughed and let Hu Li drag him, "How can I buy a night clothes, I will order someone to send them, and you can concentrate on preparing how to scare him at night." ”

Hu Li thought about it, if he went to buy night clothes, others would know, Hu Li suddenly stopped, "Brother Xiao, what do you say I want to dress up to scare him!" Do you have to spread your hair and wear a white dress to float in front of him when the time comes? ”

Xiao Qiao shook his head, called Xia Yi out in front of Hu Li, and told him to find a portrait of the prefect's wife and brother.

Hu Li was not surprised to see Xia, and Xiao Qiao knew that his guess was really good. He still remembered that the morning when Xia Yi and the others first arrived at him, Hu Li had felt the breath of Xia Yi and the others. Probably for Hu Li, although Xia Yi and the others couldn't see their figures, they were no different from standing around them.

Hu Li was excited to go to the prefect's mansion at night and couldn't wait for it to get dark in the next second, Xiao Qiao smiled and looked at his energetic appearance, "Okay, sit down." I ordered the Buddha jumping over the wall and saliva chicken that you were yelling for at at the Food Taste Pavilion in the center of the lake, and it was not too late to think about it after dinner. ”

As soon as he heard this, Hu Li stopped. Xiao Qiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, he was a greedy little fox, and he could put aside whatever he heard to eat.

Although he thought so, Xiao Qiao couldn't wait to bring all the food that Hu Li loved to him. Since knowing Hu Li's true identity, Xiao Qiao can be said to have basically held Hu Li in the palm of his hand, for fear that this little fox would run away, and it would be difficult to find it when the time came.

Of course, Xiao Qiao still has another vague idea, if Hu Li is spoiled by him, he can't live without him, it would be better. When the time comes, Hu Li can only be his.

Hu Li, who had eaten a beautiful meal, didn't know Xiao Qiao's success, and when he was full, he began to gear up, and he was ready to scare the prefect so much that it would be best to say everything.

The red halberd was walking back and forth on the windowsill on the side, he was not strong enough at this time, although he was also seriously cultivating according to the method called by Grandpa Hu. But probably because his talent is not very good, so far, he has only cultivated a little bit of spiritual power, that is, he is more ferocious and smarter than similar eagles, and the others are really not very good.

For example, Chi Ji once thought about being like Grandpa Hu, saying that if he beat Hu Li, he could beat Hu Li.

Xia Yi's movements were fast, and the night clothes and ghost outfits were quickly ready. Xiao Qiao's almost a year's martial arts training has made his body slender and shapely, wearing a close-fitting night suit, which is more attractive than the wide-sleeved robe on weekdays.

It's not that he doesn't look good on weekdays, but he mostly appears in front of people as a thin scholar on weekdays. Now that he has changed his clothes, his momentum is released, although he is not as tall and powerful as the natural general, but he is no longer the kind of bookish handsomeness, but a kind of handsomeness that belongs to the manhood.

At least Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao who had changed his clothes in a daze, he knew that Brother Xiao was the best-looking, and sure enough!

In the future, I have to let Brother Xiao wear more other clothes to try, such as the chivalrous costumes with waist and narrow sleeves that everyone in the rivers and lakes said in the book said, which must also look good.

Xiao Qiao waved his hand in front of Hu Li's eyes, "Come back to your senses, Xiao Li." ”

Hu Li's ears suddenly turned red, and he faked coughing twice, "Brother Xiao, you look good in this, hehehe...... What about me, what am I going to look like? ”

Xiao Qiao asked Xia Yi to open the portrait, and a handsome young man appeared in front of him, dressed in white, sitting in the gazebo with a book in his hand.

"Hey, should I change into a white dress?" Hu Li glanced at the night clothes that were still on the side of him, and he couldn't hide the longing in his eyes.

Xia Yi took out the prefect's wife's favorite white clothes and a few rouge boxes from the baggage on the side that had been prepared along with the night clothes and portraits, "Little boy, my subordinates will dress you up." ”

Hu Li looked curiously at the line in Xia Yi's hand, and then looked at Xiao Qiao and sat down in front of Xia Yi, Xia Yi picked up a rouge box and began to apply it to Hu Li's face. Hu Li was curious, "Brother Xiao, go find a mirror and I'm going to see how Xia Yi painted." ”

Xiao Qiao smiled and went to get a mirror and put it in front of Hu Li, "Although Xia Yi is not as good as Xia Ba's disguise technique, it is still simple and okay." ”

Hu Li looked in the mirror, and the left half of his face no longer looked like himself. I don't know how Xia Yi did it, his originally slender eyes have turned into apricot eyes, and even a little watery, and the original delicate facial features have become more delicate than the people in the portrait.

"That's amazing! When I look at it this way, I don't even recognize myself. Hu Li blinked, learning the expression of the person in the portrait, and still had some feelings.

Xiao Qiao didn't have much feeling for Hu Li's appearance, not to mention that Hu Li was originally exquisite-looking, so when he looked at it like this, there was always a sense of disobedience. But it's also interesting, Hu Li's eyes are a pair of slender and bewitching fox eyes, but the clarity in his eyes has suppressed the little bit of charm, and with such a pair of apricot eyes, it seems that he is more lively.

After Hu Li finished painting, he put on the white clothes, and from a distance, he saw that the person in the portrait was the person, Xia Yi put the prepared night pearl covered with green cloth under Hu Li's face, and the green face on the black background looked really scary.

"Okay, Brother Xiao, let's go." Hu Li packed up the props for exploring the prefect's mansion at night, and put on a black cloak over his white clothes.
