The concierge had long been familiar with Qi Guy, but he still yawned, took the fan, and said first: "Brother Qi is here?" ”

Then, as if he had just seen Shopkeeper Ke, he got up and walked out of the gatehouse, trotted over, and arched his hand: "Ouch, Shopkeeper Ke is here, and wait a while, I'll go and report to you." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

So saying, he went back.

Shopkeeper Ke stood there unmoved, obediently waiting.

After waiting for almost a stick of incense, the official walked out and waved his hand: "Ke's shopkeeper, please." ”

Only then did the shopkeeper Ke say, "Thank you, Lord Yacha." And he went inside.

The three of them entered the gate, passed the Yi Gate, and arrived outside the lobby, but they no longer went forward, but turned to the right and arrived at the county office.

I saw a man in his forties, with a half-foot-long beard on his chin, sitting in the middle of the room, pinching his beard, shaking his head and reading a book.

It's really like a reader.

Shopkeeper Ke hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Tao County is fine." ”

Tao County Cheng? When Li Hua'er heard this title, her heart moved.

She knew that Mrs. Tao's father was a talent in the county, and she also knew that Mrs. Tao was related to someone in the yamen, but she didn't know that this parent turned out to be the county prince.

I don't know which family this is Tao Da Niang.

As if he didn't know that someone had come in, he heard the shopkeeper Ke speak, so he put down the book, got up and gave his hand in a similar manner: "Brother Ke, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome." ”

Listening to that tone, he really looks like a knowledgeable person.

Li Hua'er scoffed a little.

The shelves are too high, and they are fake.

Shopkeeper Ke has become accustomed to the consistent style of this county, and he is busy returning the courtesy.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Shopkeeper Ke pointed to Li Huaer and said:

"Lord Xiancheng, this is the craftsman I want to introduce to adults."

Tao Xiancheng seemed to have just seen a little girl less than a year old standing here, looked Li Hua'er up and down, and frowned.

"You're a little girl, and you can do carpenter's work?" In the words, there is a deep distrust.

Li Hua'er stepped forward and walked according to the courtesy: "Yes, Lord Cheng of the county, I learned from my father since I was a child, so I will." ”

Tao Xiancheng still didn't believe it, and asked, "What's your name?" How old is this year? ”

"Back to adulthood, the little girl's name is Li Huaer, and she is fourteen years old." Li Huaer said.

Tao Xiancheng still twisted his beard and asked the shopkeeper Ke: "Brother Ke didn't joke with me?" ”

Shopkeeper Ke hurriedly said: "Naturally, it's not a joke, her father is very capable." ”

When Tao Xiancheng heard this, he was even more unhappy: "Then why don't you call her father?" Didn't you do things for the county government, and did you wronged him? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Huixian Cheng, her father is now the guard at the city gate, so naturally he can't come." ”

When Tao Xiancheng heard this, he changed his face and asked Li Hua'er instead: "Oh? Your father was conscripted in Qinghe Village, and Li Da, who only came back recently? ”

Li Hua'er curtsied: "Yes, that's my father." ”

In his tone, there was deliberate pride.

……

Li Huaer didn't believe that Tao Xiancheng really didn't know who he was, if he really had a relationship with Mrs. Tao.

But when he faced himself, this county man was the same as knowing himself on the first day and not knowing those things.

Li Hua'er is now more and more suspicious, and there is something strange in this matter of repairing the county government.

Tao Xiancheng's expression became softer: "Your father can be really skilled, so he and I are half colleagues." ”

Ke's shopkeeper was on the side, and he also flattered: "Lord County Cheng really knows everything about the affairs of the people in the county. ”

Tao Xiancheng was quite happy to accept this flattery.

"Since Tao is entrusted by the people in the city, he naturally has to act well." His tone sounded humble.

Li Hua'er endured it for a long time before she didn't sneer.

I said this as if I was a prefectural order.

However, she just followed behind the shopkeeper Ke quietly and listened to what they had to say.

I heard that the shopkeeper Ke bragged about Li Huaer's ability and Tao Xiancheng with more fuel and vinegar.

It was probably that the shopkeeper Ke spoke with inconspicuous flattery, so Tao Xiancheng was quite fluttery, with joy on his face.

"In that case, come with me first."

As he spoke, Tao Xiancheng got up from behind the bookcase, took them, and went to the back.

……

Qingyuan County is not a small county seat, and it is also where the fortress is located, so the yamen is not small.

After the lobby, then the second hall, and then the office, it was before the third hall.

Tao Xiancheng took them and went around to the east, and went to the place where Weng County's dependents lived.

Stopping in front of the courtyard, Tao Xiancheng said to the shopkeeper Ke: "Brother Ke is waiting here now." ”

Ke shopkeeper knew the courtesy, and said busily: "Yes." ”

Without waiting for the shopkeeper's "yes" to finish, Tao Xiancheng had already taken Li Huaer into the courtyard.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Li Huaer had already seen that on the west side of the courtyard, there was a wing house that had collapsed.

In the wing room on the east side, someone was talking.

Hearing someone coming in, a little girl in Tsing Yi poked her head out.

Seeing someone coming, the little girl was startled, hurriedly retreated, and said unhappily:

"Tao County Cheng is really true, let people come to repair the house, and don't say a word in advance."

As he spoke, he turned back to the house and said, "Miss, has someone come to repair the house?" ”

A girl in the room said in a voice with a sharp voice: "The broken wood has been piled up here for several days, not to mention cleaning up, and now it is suddenly brought to see it, what is the matter?" ”

A hint of fierceness flashed on Tao Xiancheng's face.

It's just fleeting, and it just fell into Li Huaer's eyes.

Instead, he smiled happily: "Miss Hui, it's the villain who is abrupt, but I'm just bringing a little girl to see it today, and it won't disturb Miss." ”

Before the little girl in Tsing Yi could speak, a girl's head poked out of the room.

The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with black hair in a bun, and a plain silver hairpin that was not very expensive.

She is not ugly, but she is not prominent, with a goose egg face and a beautiful nose, but her eyes are a little small, and her lips are a little thick.

The expression on his face is still shrewd.

"What little girl, can you repair the house?" As soon as she spoke, she had a sharp edge.

After seeing Li Hua'er standing outside, the girl covered her mouth and laughed.

"Tao Xiancheng deceives," she pointed to Li Hua'er, but looked at Tao Xiancheng, "Such a dirty village girl, can she still repair a house?" Whether she has lived in this house or not, she has two words. ”

The tone is full of meanness, mockery and contempt.

However, Li Huaer felt that it seemed that what this girl said was not aimed at herself.

I heard the girl say again: "Tao Xiancheng has always been able to deceive people." ”

Tao Xiancheng's face flashed a trace of ruthlessness.

The girl didn't notice the change on Tao Xiancheng's face, and just said to Li Hua'er:

"Hey, that village Nizi, what's your name?" (To be continued.) )
