Chapter 6: Laughter

After catching someone, Xie Ning relied on the only memory left in his mind, plus interrogating the thief next to him, to find the fang market, returned the money bag to the old woman who had been waiting in place, politely refused her thanks, and accompanied the old woman to the yamen, found the head catcher on duty, and sent the thief who stole the money bag to prison.

After dealing with this matter, Xie Ning felt relaxed, but his footsteps did not stop at all, and he rushed back to the Hou Mansion all the way. Picking a gap where there was no one around, he turned over and jumped over the wall, and finally stood in front of Gu Sui out of breath.

"Miss, what are you doing? Why are you so tired? ”

Xie Ning, who was running all the way, didn't straighten out his anger, so he went straight into the house, handed the two drawers of buns in his hand to Gu Sui's hand, and finally squeezed out two words, "Eat quickly!" ”

Gu Sui was slightly stunned, and did not act according to Xie Ning's wishes, but turned around and poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, "Miss, you rest first." ”

When Shainin regained his breath, the two began to eat.

Just when Xie Ning's master and servant were feasting, Mrs. Xiang in the Jade Courtyard was so angry that she didn't eat.

"Madame, hurry up and eat. If it goes on like this, how can it be good to burn down the body? ”

"Hmph," Xiang kicked away the ginkgo who was kneeling in front of her, and reprimanded: "I can't even stop a yellow-haired girl, I really don't know what I want you to do?" ”

Don't blame her for being angry, she didn't succeed in giving Shainin a lesson, but told her not to say anything. It was even more coincidental that she was bumped into this scene by Hou Ye, which caused her to lose her housekeeping rights, and because of the loss of face, she could only hide Xie Ning's actions in the Jade Courtyard, swallowing the matter of this wild girl countering her, and she couldn't even complain to her own children.

Ginkgo bit her lip, "The slave knows her mistake and begs Mrs. for forgiveness." ”

However, her pity did not change Xiang's emotion, but a cold sentence - "Okay, you go and tie that girl over, and Mrs. Ben will forgive you." ”

"Madam, Xie Ning, this girl is very weird, not to mention her martial arts, and she is protected by Master Hou. Aren't you embarrassed by the slaves? ”

"She grew up in the barracks, and she knows a little bit about martial arts. Don't destroy your own ambition and increase the prestige of others. No matter how powerful she is, she is just a yellow-haired girl, and Mrs. Ben doesn't believe that she can't clean her up. As for Master Hou," Xiang's eyes became dark for a moment, and he muttered mockingly: "If I hadn't been too soft-hearted and failed to cut off the root cause of the bane early, where would I have come from so many troubles." ”

Ignorant of Xiang's thoughts, Xie Ning filled his stomach and talked to Gu Sui about what she had seen when she went out.

After listening to her narration, Gu Sui clapped his hands loudly and said, "Miss, you are too powerful!" This kind of bad guy has to be locked up in prison to get rid of his anger. ”

"By the way, Miss, you haven't taken a good look at where we live."

Xie Ning was stunned when he heard this, and then he looked at the furnishings in the house. After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but be surprised in my heart, and secretly wrote down the friendship of Uncle Hou.

There are a total of five rooms in this row. The two of them were now in the middle hall, which was the most spacious room, and the layout was somewhat similar to the main hall of the Jade Courtyard. Compared with it, it is just less luxurious and more elegant.

Chairs were placed on the left and right sides of the door, with an Arhat chair on the top, a table in front of him, and a beaded curtain behind him, separating the hall from another world.

Behind the bead curtain, a few steps apart, there is a tea house, a soft couch is placed near the window, and there are eight treasure shelves leaning on the two walls, and one grid is full of utensils and utensils that Xie Ning has never seen.

However, in half a day, this dilapidated and outdated courtyard house has undergone earth-shaking changes. Who would have believed that the house would be so delicate and elegant if it had only been passed by outside?

After looking at the hall, Shainin was pulled by the ears of grain to the first house on the left. Except for the upholstered desk by the window, the room was full of books, apparently used as a study, and there was a side door in the northwest corner, but it led to the next room.

Xie Ning was curious, and couldn't help asking, "Gu Sui, have you ever been in and seen it?" ”

Gu Sui shook his head honestly. Since Miss Beat left the Hou Mansion, her heart has been hanging, for fear that someone will find out, where do you have the heart to take a closer look one by one?

Xie Ning didn't know what she was thinking, turned his head and smiled: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

To tell the truth, all the words she knew were taught by her mother when she was a child, and for Xie Ning, who didn't have any ink in her chest, it was feasible for her to dance with a knife and a sword, but it was a little difficult to dance with ink. Therefore, she was destined to live up to her uncle's kindness in arranging this study for her.

"Miss won't stay in this study for a while?" Gu Sui knew that Xie Ning had always been reluctant to study, so he deliberately teased his own young lady.

Shainin didn't perceive her intentions, "No, no, let's go somewhere else to have a look." ”

"Don't you really want to stay longer?"

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on the corner of Gu Sui's mouth, Xie Ning suddenly realized that she was playing tricks on herself, and while reaching out to tickle her, she said: "You girl, you know that I can't read anything except military books and martial arts books, and you came to tease me." ”

"Oops, hahahaha, oops, miss, hahaha, Gu Sui knows it's wrong, spare me."

Xie Ning stopped his movements, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really know it's wrong?" ”

"Well, I know that I am wrong, I know that I am wrong." After that, Gu Sui immediately ran into the door, for fear of being caught by his own lady again. She is most afraid of itching, but Miss always uses this to 'bully' her.

This room connected to the study was located on the left side of the hall, and when Shainin looked up, he saw the silk curtain hanging from the roof to his feet, and through this hazy layer of shielding, Shainin saw a bed.

The four corners of the bedroom are divided into a piano, an embroidery frame, a chess case, and a dressing table, and Xie Ning is surprise mixed with a trace of resentment.

I was surprised because I didn't expect my uncle to be so well prepared, and I was happy because this finely arranged women's boudoir was her bedroom from then on.

As for this resentment, it was because she thought of the reply letter sent by her father to the Hou Mansion. In the letter, he mentioned that Xie Ning was not good at the four arts, and specially asked Uncle Hou to find someone for advice.

Xie Ning, who was originally holding a fluke, saw these four things and realized that her eldest uncle did not leave this matter behind as she expected.

Out of the bedroom, Xie Ning took the grain ears to the two rooms on the right. When she went in and looked around, she saw that the house near the hall was used as a storehouse, but unfortunately she had no wealth, and the storehouse was empty except for the little luggage she had brought from home.

Xie Ning pursed his lips secretly, thinking that this is a good room, and it is really a waste to use it as a warehouse, so it is better to build a stove as a small kitchen, so that the two of them don't have to worry about food.

"Miss, why don't we guess what this last room is for?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Ning was also a little interested, "Okay, I guessβ€”"

"I guess this room is for young ladies to entertain."

Gu Sui interrupted Xie Ning's words and spoke first.
