In early winter, the small courtyard is lonely, and the dead branches and leaves fall all over the ground.

Mao Xiaosi took a broom about the same height as him, and swept it to the east and west absentmindedly. The dead leaves were not swept away, and the sewage flowed sideways.

Xiaohuai pushed the door in, and just saw Mao Xiaosi snorting and snorting, looking dazed.

"Brother Xiaohuai, are you here?" Mao Xiaosi was still very happy to see him come to the door, and dropped the broom to meet him.

Xiao Huai nodded and asked, "What about the others?" ”

"I went to learn to drive. Sit in the house. "Mao Xiao is young at four years, and he has done a lot of etiquette.

When I entered the hall, a fire burned in the middle of the house, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Mao Xiaosi smiled and poked the ashes of the brazier with a fire chopstick, pulled out a few sweet potatoes, and knocked on them: "It's not ripe yet." Simmer again. ”

Xiao Huai sat down and stretched out his hand to bake the fire.

"Brother Meng, when will you come back?"

"Oh, it's almost there." Mao Xiaosi is really not good at learning to drive because he is small and short, so he has always played the role of a housekeeper.

Of course, he was also noisy about learning in the early stage, and let him try, but the horse rope was not tight, not driving, but being driven by a carriage, so he no longer quarreled to learn to drive.

Mao Xiaosi brought another cup of hot tea and handed it over, and asked, "Does Miss Lu have any instructions?" ”

"Yes, quite a few." Xiao Huai took a sip of hot tea and warmed his stomach first.

"Then sit down for a while, and I'll call my brothers back."

"Okay." Xiao Huai nodded and waited quietly.

Mao Xiaosi pushed the door and spread his legs and ran away.

The sweet potato fragrance in the brazier became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Huai swallowed his saliva. In the end, I don't dare to make claims.

He is good on behalf of Miss Lu, but he is also just a little servant of the Lu Mansion. The identity is no different from Meng Dalang, but it is not as good as them? People are free bodies.

It's just that the aroma of roasted sweet potatoes poured into his nose one after another, and he couldn't help but take a fire grill and shave it twice. Look outside the door, there is no movement, and it is not a big deal to eat one of their roasted sweet potatoes if you want to, right?

Xiao Huai is also a child's heart in the end, and he picked it up in the ash heap and picked out the most cooked and fragrant one to bake.

Steaming hot in his hand, he was shooting dust.

Footsteps outside the door didn't wait for him to make a move. The curtain is raised. The black press pressed a lot of people in.

"Meng Da ......" He thought it was Meng Dalang and his party back, halfway through his words, he picked his eyes and looked again, and stood up in fright.

Duan Mian followed Chang Kewen in with a calm face.

paragraph. Duan Shizi. Chang Gongzi. Xiao Huai threw the sweet potato into the pot. Hurry up and salute.

Duan Mian looked around, took a closer look at the fragrant sweet potatoes in the brazier, and then fixed his eyes on his face. Asked: "Are you the errand boy next to Miss Lu?" ”

"Yes, yes. The little cheap name is Xiaohuai. ”

Duan Mian only looked at him coldly and was silent.

Chang Kewen stepped forward and smiled gently: "Xiao Huai, why did Miss Lu send you out again?" ”

"Back to Chang Gongzi. The eldest girl asked the younger one to come and see Brother Meng, and a few winter clothes could be added. Xiao Huai rolled his eyes and thought of the right words.

"Really? Didn't the living arrangement of a few of them be taken over by the eldest young master of your family? "Chang Kewen has a relationship with Lu Du.

Xiao Huai wiped his forehead and said with a smile: "Rao is so, the eldest girl is kind-hearted, and she still thinks about the villagers." ”

"Folks? Just folks? Duan Mian's voice was very fierce.

Xiao Huai shrank his head in fright, and stiffened his head: "Yes, it's a few acquaintances that our Miss Lu met in the township." Then ......"

"And then contribute money and efforts to help them gain a foothold in Yicheng? Do not hesitate to use connections to go to the yamen to fish for people? ”

Hearing Duan Mian say this, Chang Kewen must have told him about the deeds of the past few days. Xiao Huai nodded in response, "Yes." ’

"Humph!" Duan Mian only felt ridiculous.

It's okay to lie to others, to lie to him?

How can it be! Folks? Help?

Ghost go, right?

Who outside the North City did not hesitate to break Mao Xiaosi's hand that day? Why didn't you recognize your fellow villagers at that time and make a feud?

This liar!

Lu Lu, who was far away in the suburban courtyard, shivered inexplicably!

Who's reading her behind her back?

Meng Dalang came back together, and when he entered the door, he saw a few small servants in Changfu and Duan Mian's small servants scattered under the eaves.

Mao Xiaosi turned around and wanted to run out.

"Stop!" Wang Ping shouted.

The courtyard door was closed, and the four of them laughed uneasily: "Everyone, what's the matter?" ”

"Get in." Deng Ye tilted his head.

Meng Dalang was calmer in the end, and recognized that this group of people was not bandits and robbers.

Take a look at the hall, there is someone behind the curtain.

Li Hu tugged at his sleeve carefully: "Big brother......"

"It's okay, take it one step at a time." Meng Dalang comforted the three younger brothers and rushed into the door first.

Seeing Duan Mian and Chang Kewen, they were stunned, saluted quietly, and stood to one side with their hands down.

Duan Mian put his hands behind his back, his eyes locked on Meng Dalang, and one word: "Say." ”

"I don't know, what does the prince want to know?"

Chang Kewen smiled and said, "All the things with Miss Lu." For example, how did you reconcile from enemies to villagers? ”

"Huh?" The five people looked at each other, including Xiao Huai.

Duan Mian's face was gloomy and almost dripping with snowflakes, his eyes were particularly unkind, and he had the posture of being sentenced without confessing.

Meng Dalang's eyes for help looked for Xiao Huai.

He didn't dare to reveal the agreement with Lu Lu easily? But the one he faces is the prince of the world, and the other is the prefect's son, he can't afford to offend! Xiao Huai is a confidant of Miss Lu, how to do it, wait for his instructions.

Xiao Huai's eyes dodged.

He didn't dare to pick up the stubble! Miss Lu has a good way, she has a way to clean him up, and the two in front of her also have a way to make him speak!

What to do?

There was a stalemate in the hall for a while.

The aroma of the roasted sweet potatoes is getting stronger and stronger, and they are almost burnt.

Mao Xiaosi swallowed his throat, licked his mouth, and stared at the brazier greedily.

Duan Mian gave Chang Kewen a look: "Take it away." ”

"Okay." Chang Kewen didn't say a word, raised his head and called: "Someone!" ”

"Wait!" Meng Dalang was not convinced, craned his neck and asked, "Lord Shizi, why do you want to take us away?" ”

The corners of Duan Mian's mouth hooked up a sneer: "Beicheng is used to stealing, blocking the road and robbing, specializing in robbing single passers-by, and committing crimes in gangs." The government has repeatedly failed to arrest, and even dares to ask why it took you away? ”

Meng Dalang's back broke out in a cold sweat.

The old bottom was mastered so quickly?

"Did you recruit yourself and ask the board to wait in the court?" Chang Kewen was also slow to join the threat.

"I, we, we've been washing our hands for a long time." Li Hu was stunned.

Chang Kewen laughed: "Already? Oh, then the first sufferer is written off? Who will write it off? Miss Lu? ”

"It's not." Xiao Huai hurriedly stepped forward: "It has nothing to do with my girl." ”

Chang Kewen pursed the corners of his sleeves and smiled: "That's what Young Master Lu Fudu has to do with it." ”

"It's not. It has nothing to do with Master Du. Mao Xiaosi jumped to his feet and denied it.

Duan Mian looked at it coldly, and had a rough idea in his heart, and then spoke: "Give you one last chance, say." (To be continued.) )
