Chapter 36: A Thousand Households

(When updating, Lao Jiu Wang Lin was written as his father Wang Du, and the clerical error has been corrected. I think I'm really Alzheimer's)

The newly appointed thousand households!

Xiao Gu's face was like frost, expressionless, the silver knife in his sleeve was clenched deeper, and his black eyes looked at him, and the atmosphere in the room became even more solemn.

After a while, I heard her smile and said: "The eldest brother's connections and power have extended here, and even thousands of adults can participate in our planning, which is really admirable." ”

Before the smile reached the bottom of her eyes, her beautiful eyes rolled and she got up to leave.

The young man was startled and hurriedly stopped her, "My brother has nothing to do with this!" ”

"I understand that it is you who bear his title and are bent on helping us thieves."

Xiao Gu's voice was not loud, but the young man was shocked when he heard it: he has always been competitive and competitive, and this time he was not angry with this woman's arrogance, so he blurted out, so that she knew that she also had something to rely on, but she didn't expect her to say this - my brother is a loyal and good general who only knows military strategy, if he is found to have an affair with these thieves, I am afraid that there will be a disaster of raiding the house immediately!

Xiao Gu looked at him coldly, and then he smiled and said, "Since you are so confident, you will be responsible for this major matter - you must rescue the twenty-eight criminal courtiers and their relatives safely." ”

After saying that, she was about to leave again, and the young man was already panicking: she made a package ticket in front of the eldest brother and boasted about Haikou, but she didn't expect this fierce woman to really let go of her hand.

"I'm just here to help you, don't be lazy!"

He wrinkled his nose, annoyance and bewilderment on his pink face.

"Since it's assistance, you should know your own proportions, and when I don't need your help, you should disappear quietly!"

Xiao Gu smiled coldly, didn't look at his face, turned around and pushed the door away, leaving only one sentence, "If I really want your help, I will look for you, and besides that, you are not allowed to act rashly!" ”

Walking like the wind, the aftermath is lingering, and only a young man with Zhong Lingyuxiu remains, looking at her back.

"Well, this young master, it's late at night, and the villain should go to bed...... I don't know what else is going on with you? ”

Boss Huang's urging only provoked a vicious glare from the young man.

****

After the third watch, Xiao Gu took advantage of the darkness of the night to return to the residence in the small courtyard, and stood quietly under the tree for a while and was about to enter the door, but heard the door of the courtyard squeak!

She clenched the silver knife in her sleeve vigilantly!

In the darkness, the sound of someone's footsteps came inward, and the faint light shone brightly,

What appeared in front of him was the gorgeous and beautiful face of Guangsheng.

"Why haven't you slept yet?"

He asked, surprised.

"Young Master, why did you go out?"

She was also very surprised, and secretly broke out in a cold sweat - there was no movement in the front yard, and she thought that he had fallen asleep, and he almost broke her whereabouts.

"Can't sleep."

"Go shopping!"

The two replied in unison, then looked at each other and laughed.

Guangsheng was holding an oil lamp in her hand, and in the faint light, her eyes smiled slightly, like a crescent moon, but she flashed with a cunning and naughty light-

"Did the young master go out in the middle of the night to meet the beauty?"

Answering her was a violent shudder, "It's not the one who arranges the master at will, you girl is so bold!" ”

Xiao Gu covered his head and glared at him, so angry that his cheeks were bulging, he turned his head and muttered quietly: "Obviously, the young ladies of the family have chased them to the house......"

"You girl is really sharp-toothed!"

Guangsheng couldn't help laughing, but he wasn't really angry, he didn't want to say more about the reason why he went out in the middle of the night, and asked after a while: "Are you used to living here?" ”

Xiao Gu nodded vigorously, and then shook his head again, "Eat well and dress warmly...... I just don't have much work to do, and my hands are itchy. ”

Guangsheng smiled, his face looked handsome and confused in the dim light, "Thinking about your wood-chopping axe again?" ”

She said confidently: "That's the guy I eat, I'm not used to it!" ”

Guangsheng deliberately teased her, "The heroic posture you cut with an axe that day was really good, and you can catch up with Mu Guiying in the play!" ”

The corners of Xiao Gu's lips twitched slightly, and she looked like she dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, she smiled and said: "Each other, I have also heard about your great achievements young master - I heard that you chased and slashed your boss with a knife for three streets and dominated the entire military camp!"

The two men looked at each other like fighting cocks, and suddenly laughed at the same time.

Xiao Gu suddenly squirmed, "Young Master, isn't it difficult for you to leave your hometown and drift out alone?" Is someone bullying you? ”

"If so, what do you do? Chop him with an axe? ”

Guangsheng wanted to tease her again, but somehow, he was dizzy by a little warm light in this cold night, his eyes and tone softened, he sighed, habitually rubbed her messy hair, and said softly: "It's not your business...... It's too cold outside, so go back to your room and get some sleep. ”

He turned to leave, and suddenly heard the soft call of the girl behind himβ€”

"Young Master......"

He turned his head, and in the darkness, the girl's thin figure seemed to fly away with the wind, and only the pair of shining eyes looked at him, smart and deepβ€”

"Young master, I, I don't eat for nothing, and sometimes I can help you - if it is useful to me, I am willing to go to the soup and fire!"

She said softly, incoherently.

Somehow, Guangsheng's eyes moistened.

He coughed lowly and wanted to say something, but the girl's figure seemed to be frightened, and ran into the room.

"This girl ......"

He sighed helplessly, but the corners of his lips carried a pampering and tenderness that he didn't realize.

*****

The days passed quickly, Xiao Gu and the others had been here for almost a month, usually her errands were not heavy, she followed Qin's mother to take care of the affairs of the inner house during the day, and helped Chulan cook three dishes and one soup at night, and the whole day passed like this.

She usually hears all kinds of news on the street, coupled with her unobtrusive inquiry, she has a lot of news about Jingying.

The Beijing camp is divided into three battalions and forty-eight guards, the three battalions are the five armies, three thousand, and the divine machine, in peacetime, the five military battalions practice the main attack of the battalion, the three thousand battalions of the main patrol and attack, and the Shenji battalion is in charge of firearms, and they compete with each other - the Yongle Emperor was still the king of Yan when he was at war with the Mongols for many years, and even had the right to supervise the kings during the war, which can be said to be proficient in military strategy, knowing the soldiers and being good at fighting, and the Beijing camp under his nose, from the generals to the soldiers are conscientious, focused and diligent, compared to the battle-hardened "nine-sided" soldiers and horses.

The guard where Guangsheng is located is in the north of Nanjing City, with the other five guards behind the Yangtze River, and the east is bordered by Beigu Mountain, and even the camp is stationed in the hilly area.

Pingning Fang is the family of middle and lower-level officers, but these days I heard rumors in the neighborhood that a new Qianhu Yuan actually settled here, he did not marry a wife, and did not bring any beautiful concubines, followed him to the camp are actually two brothers, these two young masters are not military generals, they are not allowed to enter the barracks, so they have to live in the fang temporarily.

"I heard that this Yuan Qianhu is a noble family in the capital!"

This is the news that Chu Lan inquired about.

"Surname Yuan? Could it be ......?"

Xiao Gu's heart moved, just when Miss Huang Er came to visit again, after she greeted Guangsheng, the latter hurriedly avoided under the pretext of practicing martial arts, she was embarrassed and bored, Xiao Gu took the opportunity to add tea to talk to her, and after a clever side knock, she finally got the result she thought.

"Sure enough, it's the son of the Guangping Bo family!"

Xiao Gu's brows furrowed even deeper, she remembered the previous incident with Wang Lin - Wang Lin was tired of his literary name back then, and he was abused in the powerful family, of course Jin Lanhui couldn't watch him suffer, and was about to rescue him, but Wang Lin took the initiative to refuse, he claimed that he had a way to get out safely, so it was inconvenient for others to interfere more.

Later, it was a son of the Guangping Bo family who remembered the friendship of his former classmates, ransomed him and secretly hid it in Zhuangzi, originally thought that the matter was over, but he was unexpectedly denounced by Yang Yan, the head of the Criminal Department, not only Wang Lin was executed at the entrance of the vegetable market, but even the Guangping Bofu was punished.

"I don't know what this thousand households rank in Bofu, how to call it?"

Although Miss Huang Er didn't know why Xiao Gu asked this, she never dared to underestimate these slaves from a family, and thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Xinger, and his two younger brothers seem to be called the fifth young master and the seventh young master by the servants." ”

Xiao Gu's eyes flickered slightly-that fifth young master was the rumored best friend of Wang Lin, he was severely reprimanded by his family for this matter, and a mere scholar actually came here?

As for the Seventh Young Master...... She squinted her eyes slightly, thinking of the arrogant little boy who suddenly came that night, and snorted coldly in her heart.
