And the young man downstairs had already finished eating two large bowls of noodles at this time. Then he got up and silently put down a small piece of broken silver on the table.

"Guest officer, this bowl of noodles is fifteen copper coins, and two bowls are thirty, how can this silver weigh two or two, so you don't need so much."

The guy who had been watching from a distance saw the small piece of silver on the table, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly came over and said with a smile. saw that the young man looked at him quietly, and said lightly: "I rewarded you." ”

"Ouch, thank you...... Thank you, guest. The guy couldn't hide his joy and thanked him in a low voice, but when he saw the young man striding to the door, he suddenly stopped and said softly: "The big row of Wangyue Tower is really good." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, if the guest officer likes it, you can come over in the future, there are many signature dishes in the shop." The man was dazzled by the two taels of silver, and he spoke much more fluently, completely forgetting that just before, he was so frightened by this murderous young man that he couldn't even speak.

Xiao Jiangbei didn't speak again, just turned around and looked up along the stairs to the second floor, but although the laughter came in bursts, he couldn't see a single figure.

The eldest girl of the Gu family, her name is Gu Qiluo, right? Unexpectedly, she turned out to be such a cold and intelligent woman. Xiao Jiangbei thought in his heart, strode out, the warm winter sun shone on him, and he suddenly felt that he was in a very good mood.

The big black horse who has followed him for many years stood quietly in front of the gate of Wangjiang Tower, Xiao Jiangbei turned over on his horse, touched the mane of the big black horse, and said softly: "Go home." Then he gently clamped the horse's belly, and the big black horse neighed, and was about to gallop, but was pulled by the master with a rein, and it glanced at the endless crowd in the street with a mournful look, and reluctantly took a broken step and slowly went east.

************************

"The second young master is back. The old lady, the aunt, and the second young master are back. ”

The manager's excited voice sounded in the courtyard, and then the curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged beautiful woman walked out quickly, and asked happily, "The second young master is back?" Where is it? Got home? ”

"It's already in the front yard, because the old man is in the yamen, so the second young master is coming here at this time, and he wants to say hello to the old lady and aunt." The manager smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit, and before the words fell, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, he hurriedly turned around, and sure enough, he saw the second young master of his own family like a Zhilan jade tree striding in, and after seeing Aunt Xiang, he entered the old lady's house.

The old man's face was red with excitement, he straightened his chest and walked out of the second door, and when he saw a servant passing by not far away, he hurriedly shouted: "Li Changgui, hurry, call all the servants in the house, the second young master is back, there will be more masters in the house in the future, and everyone can no longer be as lazy as before." ”

Li Changgui looked at the manager suspiciously, and asked with a smile: "Manager Liang, is this ...... The big guys aren't lazy. Besides, even if the second young master comes back, he won't care about our affairs, right? That's the master who kills in and out of the battlefield. Speaking of this, he leaned over and whispered, "Mr. Liang, have you seen the young master?" It's really as tall and fierce as it is rumored...... Power...... Is it mighty? ”

"."

Manager Liang's chest straightened a little more, and his face was full of excitement and pride: "Let me tell you, our young master, that is really handsome and chic, as chic and rich as a jade tree in the wind, I will tell you, over the years, how many so-called beautiful sons and daughters have I seen, but compared with our second young master, then they are all fireflies, and our second young master is Haoyue." Hey! Over the years, those eight lambs have passed on our second young master like a hellish Shura, because the master doesn't care, the second young master doesn't come back, I'm full of anger and can't tell, now it's okay, the second young master is back, those rumor-mongering bastards are waiting to pick out their eyeballs. I'll just say, the son of the lord and the wife, how can it be as ugly as they say, hahahaha......"

Li Changgui was stunned and looked at Mr. Liang who was dancing and spitting stars, and thought to himself that he really deserved to be the chief manager, look at this learning, I usually don't know that Mr. Liang is actually hidden. Not! I don't know how good-looking our second young master is, but he actually made Manager Liang crazy. Alas! Not to mention Manager Liang, who hasn't been holding their breath all these years.

The second young master, who had not returned to the capital for fifteen years, finally returned. In just a moment, the news spread to every corner of the house, and the protagonist who was eagerly awaited by the people was sitting in Xu Taijun's room at this time, listening carefully to the old lady and Aunt Xiang wiping their tears and describing their feelings after parting, and from time to time clumsily comforting two sentences.

"Yes, it will be the birthday of the Gu family master in a few days, and now that you have returned to the capital, you should also go. To be honest, I disagree with this family, and the eldest lady of the Gu family only picked it up from the countryside a few days ago......"

"It's up to my father to decide."

Xiao Jiangbei interrupted Aunt Xiang's words, making her stunned, what happened in the secret way? The second young master seems to be very satisfied with this family business? It's just because the rumors in the capital are unbearable, otherwise with the eldest girl's current status in Prince Rong's mansion, and with his military exploits at the border, how could he not marry a country girl from a five-grade official family, although it was a concubine.

After seeing Xiao Jiangbei, Aunt Xiang complained about Master Xiao in her heart, only saying that he was too anxious to set a family affair for his son. With this child's talent and family background, as long as he returns to the capital, won't those rumors be self-defeating? At that time, she will be the daughter of a first-class master, and she is afraid that she will have to squeeze her head to marry, but now because the master is in a hurry, he has decided on such an ordinary family matter, which is really too wronged by the young master.

Aunt Xiang is Xiao Jiangbei's mother's dowry girl, after the death of the young lady, Xiao Donghai did not marry another steproom, so he promoted a few girls who gave birth to children to be aunts, and let Aunt Xiang take charge of family affairs. Aunt Xiang has only one biological daughter, and she treats Xiao Jiangbei like an eyeball, with both mother-son affection and respect for her master, but she didn't expect Xiao Jiangbei to follow his arrogant father to the border when he was three years old, and he never returned to Beijing. Even though Xiao Donghai returned to Beijing four years ago to report on his work, he did not come back. When Aunt Xiang was sad, she also wondered if someone had said bad things about herself in front of the second young master, so the other party refused to return home for more than ten years.

But now there is no point in pursuing these, what makes Aunt Xiang care is Xiao Jiangbei's attitude towards this family business. She originally had a hint of the idea of withdrawing from her family, but seeing that Xiao Jiangbei didn't have the slightest intention, she had to dispel this idea, and thought about it there, while muttering: "Master Gu's birthday is ten days later, when you go to Gu's mansion, this gift can't be light, just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the eldest girl rewarded some things down......"

The eldest girl is Xiao Jiangbei's own sister, and now the side concubine of Prince Rong's mansion, she is very favored by Prince Rong, and the things she appreciates are naturally not ordinary things. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard the other party say categorically: "No need, the things I brought from the border pass will arrive home in the evening." ”

So Aunt Xiang understood, she said how could this little master go home empty-handed, it turned out that he still bought some things, probably let the soldiers and others escort him back, but he was in a hurry to go home, so he entered Beijing in advance.

As soon as I thought of this, I was very relieved, wiped my eyes with a handkerchief and said: "The young master has lived in the border for fifteen years, and he has not even returned home during this period...... I...... I couldn't be happier. ”

"Auntie is so kind."

Xiao Jiangbei was comforted. Aunt Xiang didn't feel uncomfortable, knowing that this little master had not been smiling since he was a child. It's just that Xiao Jiangbei has been away from home for many years, and Xu Taijun and Aunt Xiang really have too much to ask, so they pull Xiao Jiangbei to talk non-stop.

Xiao Jiangbei has always been the face of paralysis, but he is not impatient, but in the face of the elders' inquiries, he still has the style of cherishing words like gold. After saying this for about a quarter of an hour, I suddenly heard a girl report outside: "The third young master, grandmother and the girls are here." ”

Xiao Jiangbei stood up, and listened to Aunt Xiang smile: "I don't know if you will come back suddenly, now Jiangnan is in the yamen, Jiangzhong is at home, but he is not determined yet, he only likes to fight in the sister group, you are the elder brother now that you are back, you should talk about him." ”

Xiao Jiangbei's face finally showed a little expression, and he looked at Aunt Xiang innocently, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was obvious: With my father and brother here, why should I take care of my younger brother?

Aunt Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, at this moment, a young woman and three girls and Xiao Jiangzhong had already walked in at the door, everyone looked at Xiao Jiangbei curiously, and after stepping forward to salute, Xiao Jiangzhong glared and said: "Which bastard spread rumors that day, saying that my brother was born tall and vicious, like a demon from hell?" I'm going to knock out his tooth......"

"In the middle of the river"

Aunt Xiang hurriedly shouted, Xiao Jiangzhong is Aunt Rong's son, so she naturally won't be as respectful as she treats Xiao Jiangbei. Sure enough, Xiao Jiangzhong stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

Several girls also looked at the second brother curiously, thinking that the rumors were really deadly, although they also knew that the rumors were splashed with black water, but the basin of water splashed on the second brother was too dark, which one was crazy? How could such a rumor be created? At that time, as long as the second brother goes around the capital a few times, the guy who spreads rumors will be beaten into a pig's head by many official eunuchs, right?

The girls of the Xiao family couldn't help but worry about the rumor-mongers. However, after talking to Xiao Jiangbei for a while, I felt that the rumor-monger was right: the momentum of the second brother, who had experienced a hundred battles, was indeed very amazing.

But it's precisely like this that makes people more and more dizzy, do girls who don't admire real heroes? Xiao Jiangbei's appearance and temperament, standing in front of those sons and daughters of wealthy families who grew up in the capital, the lethality is simply ruinous.
