"Bitterness is over, and it is sweet." Hu Nineteen muttered to himself.

Recalling his past life and recent experiences, the old man's words deeply touched Hu Shijiu. No matter who the other party was, what kind of relationship he had with Xinghualou, in an instant, Hu Shijiu temporarily let down his guard. She smiled: "Thank you, uncle, the younger generation has been taught." ”

"Where, Miss Shen doesn't have to dislike the old and nagging."

This little girl has such a miraculous skill, but she doesn't boast about herself. The old man looked at Hu Shijiu's gaze with more admiration.

"The old man is too modest. It's not early, and the juniors will come to visit another day. "Despite this, what happened today is a bit unbelievable. Hu Nineteen needed time to figure out something.

The old man laughed, this little girl, respectful and polite, but also a little grass and trees, obviously about the same age as her granddaughter, but there was a moment of exuding her old age that was impressive.

Thinking back to the first time I saw her, this delicate-looking, shabby-dressed but neat little girl was holding a candy man, with big eyes flashing, standing not far from Xinghualou.

Such a child is like the granddaughter of an old neighbor on this street, and it is impossible for her to be in the same stream with the two "no virtue and no goodness" in the Xinghualou. However, Xinghualou is looking for this little girl with such fanfare, and there must be something strange in it. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the old man felt that he should not let Hu Shijiu fall into the hands of the Wu brothers in Xinghualou.

Now, after getting along just now, in the old man's heart, he feels more and more that Hu Shijiu is smart and free by nature, and he has regarded this little girl as a "confidant who forgets his years".

Thinking of this, he high-fived and called, "Sun Wu, Zhao Liu, you come in!" ”

"Shopkeeper, are you looking for us?"

When Hu Shijiu saw the two men who came in, one tall and one short, his eyes suddenly widened.

How are they!

But the two men didn't realize that the handsome little boy opposite was the girl who humiliated them last time.

"Sun Wu Zhao Liu, this is my honored guest. You two take her out through the corner gate," the old man paused, "and remember, don't let anyone see you. ”

Guest? But you want to go through the corner door?

Could it be......

Sun Wu and Zhao Liu glanced at each other, hiding their identities so much, could it be which His Royal Highness in the palace?

The two of them became more and more respectful, "Yes." ”

At this time, Hu Shijiu smelled a familiar smell.

The package of Xinghualou!

Surveillance in the dark, coincidental encounters on the street, and persuasion in the building, are they all a careful trap? I just thought a little carefully, and said the smell of the Xinghualou package. How could it cause such an uproar?

Hu Nineteen, Hu Nineteen, how can you be so careless in your two lives! The smell on these two people is exactly the same as the smell in the package that day in Xinghualou! If you want to say that Drunkard Building and Xinghualou have nothing to do with it, she won't believe it anymore!

She felt a chill all over her body, and took a step back, trying to keep her voice calm: "No need. I can walk on my own. ”

The old man noticed Hu Shijiu's strange appearance, thought for a while, turned his head and asked the two, "Do you know each other?" ”

Know? Sun Wu and Zhao looked at each other, to say that this little boy's appearance seems to be really familiar.

They don't recognize themselves? Or is it pretended?

Hu Shijiu held on to the table, tried his best to raise his head and chest, without revealing his cowardice, and looked directly at the two of them.

"Brother Sun, do you think he looks like?" Zhao Liu gestured to a picture frame.

"Huh?" Sun Wu is still at a loss.

"Miss Shen, have you seen them?" Seeing the demeanor of these two people, the old man decided to ask Hu Shijiu directly.

"Déjà vu." Hu Shijiu tried to make himself look calm and calm, and smiled reluctantly.

"Oh! It's you! Hu Shijiu smiled, Sun Wu understood, that day, it was this little boy, no, it was this little girl, after smiling at them like this, she ran away, and she even lost a brand new robe.

"Don't be rude!" The old man shouted.

"Miss Shen wait for a moment, and ask them what is going on." The old man said to Hu Shijiu, looking at the two of them with a look of no anger and self-authority.

"You say," Zhao Liu lowered his head and pushed Sun Wu again.

Sun Wu took an unnatural step forward, rubbing his hands, but he didn't know what to say.

Since Xinghualou was looking for this little girl with great fanfare, the shopkeeper of his own house only told him to pay more attention to her on weekdays, so the farce on the street that day was covered up by the two of them in private. It's just that I'm blind with a robe, and I'm really distressed.

Who would have thought that this seemingly inconspicuous little girl would dress up as a man and become a guest of the shopkeeper. Sun Wu and Zhao Liu could only admit that they were unlucky, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

The old man looked at the embarrassment of his own plan, and saw that Hu Shijiu seemed to be frightened. He could only shake his head and wave his hand to make them quickly retreat. If the two of them were amnesty, they immediately smiled at Hu Nineteen and nodded and hurriedly retreated and left.

"Stupid!" Sun Wu only cared about retreating, but stepped on Zhao Liu behind him.

Zhao Liu cursed in a low voice and pulled Sun Wu to retreat.

The old man shook his head frequently, these two guys, everything is good, but on weekdays, I don't know which one is more stupid.

Hu Shijiu bent the corners of his mouth, the fox is suspicious by nature, and she will not be an exception. However, the old man's high demeanor and the stupidity of these two guys form an interesting contrast.

Seeing Hu Shijiu laughing, the old man couldn't help laughing. "Miss Shen, don't blame, these two guys are not bad, they just do things recklessly, I don't know if I have offended Miss Shen at any time."

"No, no." Hu Shijiu hurriedly waved his hand and said.

What the hell is going on?

"I misunderstood, I thought they were from Xinghualou." Hu 19 decided to take a gamble and tell the old man the truth. Is it just because the other party has gone to such great lengths to find himself because he smells the smell in that package?

"Oh?" The old man groaned for a moment, and then understood the general course of the matter.

"Miss Shen don't panic, it's the old man who ordered them to keep an eye on Miss Shen outside. The two brothers surnamed Wu in Xinghualou are by no means good. The old man's sword eyebrows went into his sideburns, and when he talked about the two shopkeepers of Xinghualou, his originally warm face was covered with a layer of frost.

Hu Shijiu only saw one of the shopkeepers of Xinghualou, and at that time he only felt that this person was different. However, she urgently needs a job with a stable income to support herself and Shen Ling at home. So I didn't care so much.

At this moment, seeing the old man's solemn expression, Hu Shijiu had even more doubts in his heart, and he felt that things were not so simple.

"Dare to ask my uncle, what is the origin of this Xinghualou?" Hu Shijiu looked directly into the old man's eyes and asked, although it was a bit rude, but he remembered that his brother had said that no one could tell lies under the direct gaze of the fox clan. However, Hu Jiu forgot that he was already a human body at this time.

"It's a long story, these two are not good!" Fortunately, the old man didn't care about Hu Shijiu's faux pas. Just repeating this sentence, the palm of his hand curled up slightly, and slowly released it.

"I don't know how Miss Shen provoked the two of them?" Xu was that the window had been open for a long time, and the old man's face was a little pale, and he coughed repeatedly, and he didn't look as tough as he had been at the beginning.

Hu Shijiu hurriedly walked to the window, closed the window, and then told the old man the ins and outs of the matter.

"I see." The old man's breath gradually calmed down, and Hu Shijiu changed another hot tea in the old man's cup.

The old man smiled with satisfaction. "Over the years, Miss Shen's sense of smell has never been heard of or seen."

"I wonder if Miss Shen intends to stay in my drunken building? The salary will not be lower than that of the Xinghualou. ”

How can it be so pure, how can it be dusted in that pickled place!

Hu Shijiu was stunned.

When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. How could this happen to me, which I only heard when I was telling a story?

Hu Shijiu's surprise seemed to be expected in the old man's eyes.

"Miss Shen doesn't have to decide right away, it's not too late to sue Sù after you think about it another day." This girl is a genius, but everyone has their own ambitions, and the old man in the drunkard building doesn't want to force Hu Nineteen.

"Good. Thank you, father-in-law, and allow me to go back and discuss with my family before making plans. Hu Shijiu replied neither humbly nor arrogantly. Originally, I was just looking for a job to support myself, but I didn't expect the details behind it. She didn't want to make a decision.

"In this way, the old man is waiting for the news of Miss Shen." The old man nodded. If she doesn't come to her own drunkard building, there is nothing, but she can't do it for the two beasts in Xinghualou.

"This should be a gift from the first time I saw Miss Shen." The old man picked up an awkward-looking azure porcelain jar from the table and handed it to Hu Shijiu.

"This ......" Hu Shijiu looked at the porcelain jar in his hand, which was heavy and weighty. She placed the porcelain jar back on the table. "No merit is not rewarded, Jianing thanked the old man. But Jianing, you can't ask for it. ”

"It doesn't matter." After saying this for a long time, the old man seemed to be a little struggling. The old man, who was energetic at first, turned from pale to gloomy at this time, and he coughed incessantly.

"Old man," Hu Shijiu was busy pouring hot tea for the old man, and walked quickly to the door to call someone.

"Ning Ning," the old man breathed a sigh of relief and stopped Hu Shijiu: "Take it, here is the tea just now." ”

The old man's insistence made it difficult for Hu Shijiu to refuse.

"In this way, Jianing thanked my father-in-law." Hu Shijiu took a few steps forward and slowly picked up the porcelain jar. Sunlight, through the window, obliquely shone on the porcelain jar, reflecting a faint light.

"You've said 'thank you' too many times." The old man smiled weakly, and the wrinkles on his forehead slowly unfolded. "If you have time, make it for your family. Remember, bitter first and then sweet, bitter and naturally sweet. ”

Dreams, life, and so on.

Hu Shijiu felt that the old man was talking about tea, as if it was not.

She hugged the porcelain jar in her arms and nodded vigorously. "Jianing remembered!"
