3. Chapter 3 The third step of the minister

Hu Li was dumbfounded, he didn't mean it, why can't he go!?

Looking at the back of Xiao Qiao who was leaving, Hu Li covered himself in the quilt and muttered non-stop: "I really didn't mean it, I only found out that it was a misty grass after I ate it." Hu Li wrinkled his nose, or he should run away first, and when no one finds out, he will send some beautiful stones to that person, he has seen that many humans like that kind of beautiful stones.

Hu Li rubbed the soft bed under him again, but ...... Ever since he came down the mountain, he hadn't slept in such a soft nest, no, humans call nests/beds. Hu Li came out of the quilt, reluctantly touched the bed with his hand, and then leaned down and rubbed his face, it was really soft!

Otherwise, I still don't leave first, anyway, that person just now can't beat him. Hu Lixi rolled on the bed with a smile, almost showing his tail and shaking it in excitement.

When Xiao Qiao came in again, he saw the happy appearance of the young man rolling around on the bed, and suddenly felt that he might not leave the person behind, but send him away.

"Looks like you're all right, so get up from my bed." Although Xiao Qiao's tone was still calm, Hu Li felt a "murderous aura", which made Hu Li stop the idea of continuing to roll on the bed and obediently get up from the bed.

Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li's reluctant appearance towards his bed, and the corners of his forehead twitched. When this young man doesn't open his eyes, he still has a bit of beauty like jade, and when he opens his eyes, he feels disillusioned when he speaks!

"And where do I live?" Hu Li leaned over to Xiao Qiao, looked at him and asked. And don't let yourself leave, and don't let yourself live here, where do you live?

Xiao Qiao looked at the young man next to him and looked at him with blinking eyes, his dark eyes were full of doubts, and his heart suddenly softened. He had never seen this kind of person since he was a child, and he was simply a little stupid, but it made him feel relaxed all over his body.

"Live in a side room." Xiao Qiao retracted his gaze, lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly thought that he didn't know the name of the young man he brought back, and raised his eyes to look at the young man who had jumped to the side of the Bogu shelf, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Huh? Ah, my name is Hu Li. Hu Li's eyes hadn't taken off the jade carving on the Bogu shelf, although he had a lot of beautiful stones, but he didn't have this kind of workmanship. Thinking of this, Hu Li looked back at Xiao Qiao, who had no expression, if he gave this person a good-looking stone, could he make them all look like this and then return them to him?

No, no, no, I still don't want it, except for the compensation given to him, I still don't want to give it to him. Grandpa said that humans are very cunning, and even if he is a fox, he will be turned around by them.

Hu Li was distracted while looking at the jade carving, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and when he looked back, Xiao Qiao was already sitting at the table by the window with a book reading. Hu Li came to Xiao Qiao's side, glanced at the book a few times, and found that he knew every word, but when put together, he seemed to understand a little and didn't seem to understand.

Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li's eyes, closed the book, and pointed to the chair next to him to signal him to sit down. Hu Li looked at the chair, then at Xiao Qiao, and sat down with a blink.

"Say whatever you want." Xiao Qiao asked in a light tone, Hu Li smiled embarrassedly, and then pointed to the jade carving on the Bogu shelf and said, "I smashed you before, can you use that kind of stone to compensate?" Also, you asked me what my name was, so what was your name? ”

Xiao Qiao followed Hu Li's line of sight and looked at it, it was a palm-sized jade carving ornament. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, although this jade carving ornament is not a precious jade, and the carving is not from a famous artist, but this ornament can be regarded as a sky-high price for ordinary people.

This young man actually wants to use this jade carving as compensation?!

Xiao Qiao didn't speak, Hu Li was a little drumming in his heart, does this person think that that kind of stone can't be used as compensation?

Xiao Qiao lowered his eyebrows, his slender fingers fiddled with the dark embroidery patterns on his sleeves, and chuckled: "You want to use jade carving as compensation?" ”

"No...... Is it? Hu Li hesitantly turned his head to look at the jade carving ornament, and he frowned in distress. He had been in the mountains before, and when he occasionally came across humans, apart from gold and silver and a piece of paper called a "silver ticket", only this beautiful stone was the most valuable.

But apart from this beautiful stone, he had very little gold and silver, and he did not have the kind of paper called "silver ticket". Hu Li touched his small Qiankun bag, and thought with a painful look on his face that he might give this person the little gold and silver he had.

Seeing that Hu Li's eyebrows were about to wrinkle together, Xiao Qiao pursed his lips and forced down the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a look of Hu Li taking advantage: "Since it is compensation, naturally I have the final say, and for the time being, I haven't thought of how to make you compensate." Before I think about it, you can stay. In a moment the maid will take you to the side room, and you will stay there for the time being. ”

"Oh." Hu Li drooped his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Qiao reluctantly, and sometimes tilted his head to look at the soft bed.

The corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth hooked, and it wasn't until Hu Li looked resigned to his fate that he said lightly: "What kind of bed do you want, you can tell the maids for a while, and they will arrange it for you." ”

Hu Li's eyes lit up suddenly, and his gaze at Xiao Qiao became a little hotter, "It turns out that you are a good person!" ”

The smile on the corner of Xiao Qi'ao's mouth, who was issued a good person card, suddenly disappeared, and he called the maids outside the door in, and asked them to take Hu Li to the side room, and rubbed the corners of his forehead again when he saw Hu Li jumping up.

He's so crazy that he really left people behind!

"Young Master," Shuzhu stuck his head in from outside the door, and saw Xiao Qiao sitting in front of the window without any unusual appearance, so he sneaked in boldly, and came to Xiao Qiao's side and said bitterly: "Young Master, why did you come back by yourself?" ”

Xiao Qiao raised his eyes and glanced at Shuzhu, who suddenly shut up.

"You go to your father to check on someone for me, his name is Li Huai, and now he should be a rough servant in the family of the wealthy businessman Yu in Zhejiang Mansion. Secretly bring people back after finding them, and remember not to let people know. After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, he lowered his eyes again and looked at the books in his hand, Shuzhu's father Jiang Ming did not work in Xiao Mansion, but ran a small grocery store, and often pulled goods to other places to sell, and brought back some rare goods in Kyoto on the way back.

It was not convenient for him to come forward to find someone in Zhejiang Mansion, not to mention why he wanted to go to Zhejiang Mansion to find someone, just why he knew that the Yu family had a rough servant was unreasonable. Moreover, although Jiang Ming is only the shopkeeper of a small grocery store, he is very capable of doing things, and many trivial things that are not easy to get on the table in his previous life were done by Jiang Ming for him.

Shuzhu nodded, his eyes rolled: "Young Master, my father misses me, let me go back at night." ”

"Go ahead." Xiao Qiao nodded, "I'll go to the account office in a while to pay some silver and buy something for your father." ”

"Thank you, young master." Shuzhu smiled and made a gesture, Xiao Qiao waved his hand to signal him to go out first, looked out the window at the trees that were about to enter summer and became more and more lush, and chuckled.

Hu Li, who followed the maid Qiuxi to the side room, took the lead in rushing to the carved rosewood bed after entering the house, rolled around on the bed first, and found that it was not as good as ...... Alas, it seems that he asked, but the man did not tell himself what his name was. Forget it, anyway, it's not as soft as that person's bed, he looked at Qiu Xi who was following behind him, and his eyes bent: "Do I want the same bed as that person just now?" This isn't soft enough......"

Qiu Xi looked at the delicate little boy in front of him who was brought back by the young master himself, his eyes were bent, and he couldn't help blushing, and said softly: "Little boy don't worry, Qiu Xi will make you the same bed as the eldest young master in a while." "As for Xiao Qiao's bed, many of the upper bunks are priceless mattresses, all of which have been ignored by Qiu Xi, anyway, the eldest young master just explained that I will listen to this little boy.

As soon as Qiu Xi agreed, Hu Li smiled and squinted, and rolled on the bed, as if there was nothing wrong with staying, but I don't know if there are any chickens to eat here?

Soon Qiu Xi took two little girls and a little girl to hold a soft mattress to lay out the soft fox nest that Hu Xun had been thinking about, and the four of them were busy in the house again, cleaning the room clean and refreshing.

After asking Hu Li's preferences, Qiuxi added a lot of trinkets to the side room where Hu Li lived, which was somewhat similar to Hu Li's former nest after being arranged. After reading it, Hu Li gave Qiu Xi and the other three a big smile without hesitation.

Qiu Xi looked at Hu Li's smiling face and shook her head, and asked in a somewhat erratic tone: "Has the little boy been able to eat?" ”

Hu Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, although he had already opened the valley, and it was nothing if he hadn't eaten for a long time, but it would be great if he could eat.

"Do you have any chickens?" Hu Li looked at Qiu Xi with bright eyes, Qiu Xi blushed, thinking that the little boy was too exquisite, and when he smiled, people couldn't wait to satisfy all his thoughts.

"You want chicken?" Xiao Qiao read the book and planned to come over to see Hu Li who brought it back, but as soon as he walked to the door, he heard Hu Li's surprise question, and couldn't help but reply.

"Young Master." Qiu Xi hurriedly patted her face, turned around and saluted Xiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao waved her hand to let her go out first, Qiu Xifu responded, and glanced at Hu Li again before leaving.

Seeing Xiao Qiao coming in, Hu Li climbed down from the bed and stood in front of Xiao Qiao with a bright smile on his face, his voice was crisp: "Yes, I like to eat chicken the most." As he spoke, he looked back at the fox nest that satisfied him, and his smile widened a lot, "There is still a nest...... The bed was very comfortable, thank you. ”

The smiling appearance of the young man in front of him made Xiao Qiao's heart, which had been a little depressed since he came back, suddenly relax a lot. It's just a simple boy, even if it's really sent by someone else, he can't turn it out of the palm of his hand.

Xiao Qiao hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, with a wanton expression in his eyebrows: "Of course you can." On autumn evening, go and prepare a meal for the little boy. ”

"Yes, young master." Qiu Xi left in response, she had to go to the small kitchen and say that she must give the little boy a chicken. Since the little boy likes to eat chicken, it's good to make one for the little boy every day in the future, anyway, the eldest young master didn't say no.

Xia Yang watched Qiu Xi come out of the little boy's house with a happy face, and went straight to the small kitchen. I don't know who that little boy is, and what is the relationship with the eldest young master. Except for a few people who were close to Madame and the eldest young master, she had never seen the eldest young master take care of a person so thoughtfully.

The speed of the small kitchen is still very fast, because Qiu Xi only said that he wanted to prepare meals, and the small kitchen did not dare to be perfunctory, except for the chicken that Qiu Xi said separately to prepare, he also made many exquisite meals.

Watching the maids take the prepared food away, the chef wiped his forehead, the eldest young master's delicate stomach can actually eat that kind of greasy roast chicken, it seems that his news is behind, this is not good. He also plans to become the eldest young master's special chef, but he can't keep up with the taste of the eldest young master.

So much so that in the next few days, Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li, who was getting more and more greasy, less and less in line with his taste of food, and Hu Li, who was eating more and more happily on the other side, and began to secretly wonder who was in charge of this courtyard?

Do you still want monthly money?
