12. Chapter 12

After Xiao Jingshu got married, except for Xiao's mother and Aunt An, everyone else in the Xiao Mansion was not affected in any way, especially Xiao Qiao and Hu Li, who were still basically not discharged from the hospital.

Of course, Xiao Qiao was making final preparations for the upcoming autumn exams, while Hu Li was teasing Chi Ji or going to the old lady's yard all day to listen to the old lady tell some interesting things from the past.

"I'll take you out in a moment, don't run around." Xiao Qiao looked at Hu Li, who had eaten breakfast, and said with a smile.

Hu Li raised his head, still chewing food in his mouth, his cheeks bulging, and asked indistinctly, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Tianxianglou, where the lotus leaf chicken tastes extremely beautiful......"

Hu Li's eyes lit up instantly, although he also ate other foods, but chicken with various methods has always been his favorite, he nodded hurriedly, and looked at Xiao Qiao with a well-behaved face, "Okay, I'll follow Brother Xiao today." ”

Seeing his covetous look, Xiao Qiao knocked his forehead helplessly, "I don't look good, I'm afraid it's not a chicken that will kidnap you!" ”

Hu Li glared, "No!" I don't eat everyone's stuff either. "If my grandfather knew that he had been abducted by a chicken, he would probably come down from the mountain in anger and carry him back to the far north and let him retreat under the ice for 180 years.

Thinking of this, Hu Li shuddered and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Although I like to eat chicken, it's not that I can't live without chicken." ”

Xiao Qiao glanced at him, thinking that he would dare to say such a thing at least one chicken a day now. It's just that Hu Li's enthusiasm for eating chicken is as high as a fox, or Wong Tai Sin?!

Although Hu Li muttered all morning, when Xiao Qiao went out, Hu Li still didn't resist the temptation of the lotus leaf chicken, and followed Xiao Qiao to Tianxiang Building with a tangled face.

"Brother Xiao, here." As soon as Xiao Qiao and Hu Li walked into the gate of Tianxiang Building, they heard a familiar voice, Xiao Qiao looked up, and sure enough, it was He Zhaohua.

He Zhaohua's family is not comparable to the Xiao family, the He family is a family with a family of eight classics, and the ancestral home is in the northwest. The He family has been a close minister of the emperor since the beginning of the founding of the country, and he still maintains a detached posture until the day.

The acquaintance with He Zhaohua is regarded as no acquaintance in Xiao Qiao's opinion, and He Zhaohua's teacher is Master Li's junior brother Wen Zhong, a bachelor of arts. When the two met for the first time, He Zhaohua was pressed by Xiao Qiao, and in the following year, He Zhaohua didn't give him a good look every time he saw Xiao Qiao.

Later, I don't know if it was the bachelor of arts who told him something, or He Zhaohua figured it out overnight, and suddenly he stopped going against Xiao Qiao.

He Zhaohua was already two years older than Xiao Qiao, and after he stopped working against Xiao Qiao, he has been taking good care of Xiao Qiao.

"Senior Brother He." Xiao Qiao paused, looked at He Zhaohua, who was ten years younger and had not been pressed by the burden of the He family, and said with a smile.

In the past ten years, when he was struggling with the court and the Xiao family, He Zhaohua gave him the most help, and even at that time, the situation of the He family was not good.

"Hey, I've heard that you have a child, let me see." As soon as Xiao Qiao went upstairs, he was dragged into the box by He Zhaohua, "Yo, you look so good, shouldn't you be a ......" raised a pet?!

He Zhaohua's unfinished words Xiao Qiao naturally understood, just looking at the innocent Hu Li, Xiao Qiao shook his head, what kind of spoil is this, the bold ones are going to heaven!

Xiao Qiao smiled as always, He Zhaohua suddenly shuddered, and quickly changed the topic, "Hehehe, I heard that this kid likes to eat lotus leaf chicken, I have already called it, I guess it should be sent at this time." ”

"I'm tired of my brother."

But Hu Li, who was listening to them from the side, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he even forgot the atmosphere of a child because of He Zhaohua, and the appearance of looking at the box door was really unbearable.

"Hey, I said where did you get it, it's interesting!" He Zhaohua touched his chin and slapped it twice with a folding fan.

Xiao Qiao's smile became softer and softer, He Zhaohua looked more and more disgusted, took out an envelope and handed it to him, "You have it, I don't want to rob you of people." By the way, I've already asked me about what you asked me to ask about, but what did you ask him for? ”

"Nature is useful." Xiao Qiao's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and the expression on his face was a little unpredictable.

He Zhaohua raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Qiao suspiciously, "What's the use?" How many are there in front of him? It can't be his turn! ”

"Sometimes you can have the last laugh by sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight."

He Zhaohua wanted to say something, Shuzhu, who was standing outside the door, knocked on the door, and led the little two who served the food and walked in, "The eldest young master, Young Master He, the little son, the lotus leaf chicken is here." ”

The dishes ordered before were served one after another, and He Zhaohua was no longer entangled in the previous problems, and got together with Hu Li and began to talk about where and where the food was delicious while eating. It didn't take long for the two to have a feeling of seeing each other late.

Xiao Qiao didn't pay much attention to appetite, and when he saw that the two of them were chatting happily, he opened the letter He Zhaohua gave him before, and after a quick browsing, he found a fire fold in the room and burned it.

Hu Li glanced at it curiously, and was immediately attracted by He Zhaohua's drunken lees. After such a while, He Zhaohua had already seen that Hu Li's love for all kinds of chickens was far greater than that of other foods, which made He Zhaohua look at Xiao Qiao who was there with strange eyes.

With such a chicken-loving person, the chickens in Xiao's Mansion are in short supply.

He Zhaohua is a funny person, as long as he wants to, he can quickly mingle with others. After eating, He Zhaohua and Hu Li's appearance of hooking shoulders made Xiao Qiao look at him twice, and He Zhaohua raised his eyebrows at Xiao Qiao and sighed.

Although he is not as talented as Xiao Qiao in terms of knowledge, in terms of interpersonal relationships, although Xiao Qiao is not bad, he is far from him.

Xiao Qiao couldn't have imagined that it was for this reason that He Zhaohua gave up going against him because of this reason.

Tianxianglou's lotus leaf chicken has become one of the best chickens in Hu Li's recipe after today, originally just for him to occasionally go out to buy roast chicken, from today there is another task, go to Tianxianglou to book lotus leaf chicken.

The cooks in Xiao's mansion can also do it, but since Tianxianglou can be used as a signboard, it naturally has some unique recipes, which also leads to Hu Li's later fried, Xiao Qiao can finish the hair with a lotus leaf chicken.

At night, Hu Li lay on the table in front of the window, took a piece of paper and folded it into a paper crane, thought about it, took out a delicate jade bottle from the small Qiankun bag he carried, poured a little gold dust from it and sprinkled it on the paper crane, and the original paper crane gradually became transparent.

"It's safer like this, after opening the window, a silver light flashed on his fingers, and the transparent paper crane flew out of the window lightly and headed north." After the paper crane flew away, Hu Li took out another lowest-level spirit grass from Xiao Qiankun's bag and fed it to the red halberd, which was already stronger than the eagles of the same category, "You have to grow up quickly, you can help me deliver the letter in the future!" ”

The red halberd let out a low cry, and it could already be seen that the sharp eagle claws grabbed Hu Li's outstretched fingers and flapped the wings that were not yet fully developed.

Hu Li teased the red halberd for a while, and then prepared to close the window and sleep. At this moment, a black shadow flashed, and Hu Li's eyes turned red at that moment.

It turned out that he was looking for Brother Xiao, this person had a little bit of a similar aura to the other people who followed Brother Xiao, since he was not a bad person, he should go to sleep.

Hu Li took the red halberd to lie on the soft bed, and soon fell asleep.

And the black shadow that flashed was Xia Ling who returned from outside, during this time, Xia Ling had been following Xiao Qiao's instructions, and took the other six people to collect suitable people outside to form six teams. Although there were only ten people in each team, Xia Ling had absolute confidence that he could train this group of people into the most suitable swords.

"How is Li Huai?" Li Huai originally stayed in the courtyard, but was later sent to Xia Ling by Xiao Qiao.

"Although Li Huai has no talent, he has worked hard enough, and now he can keep up."

"Well, you go back!" Xiao Qiao waved his hand and motioned for Xia Ling to hold a wooden box on the table, "Take it!" ”

Xia Ling didn't open it to look at it, and left the Xiao Mansion with the wooden box.

Early the next morning, Xiao Qiao was quarreled with by Hu Li, looking at Hu Li's excited appearance, Xiao Qiao frowned, and said helplessly: "What's the matter?" ”

Hu Li looked at Xiao Qiao's impatient appearance, and smiled, "Brother Xiao, the red halberd can fly today!" ”

Xiao Qiao wiped his face, helplessly put on his coat and was dragged to the yard by Hu Li, looked at the red halberd standing on a branch and was still a little trembling, and said, "Are you sure it can fly?" ”

Hu Li immediately looked unhappy, but instantly nodded with a smile, "Yes, today the red halberd flew from the door of my room to the branch. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qiao was also a little curious, he knew that this kind of carving was extremely fierce when it became an adult, but it would take about two to three years to be independent. If the red halberd really began to fly, he was willing to spend some effort to support Hu Liyang's eagle.

Hu Li ran to the red halberd, took it from the branch, and stroked the fluff on his back. Probably to make Xiao Qiao believe that the red halberd could really fly, Hu Li ran to his door with the red halberd again, and after encouraging the red halberd for a while, he threw the red halberd into the air.

The red halberd was so frightened that its wings fluttered, but it was indeed as Hu Li said, even if it flew crookedly, the red halberd still landed safely on the branch.

Hu Li's eyes seemed to be filled with fine light, Xiao Qiao was in a trance for a moment, and his heart moved inexplicably, fleetingly.

"Brother Xiao, you see that the red halberd can really fly." Hu Li took the red halberd down from the branch and kissed it happily, "The red halberd will definitely grow up soon, and I will take the red halberd to catch game and come back for you to eat." ”

Xiao Qiao rubbed Hu Li's hair and nodded connivingly, "Okay!" ”
