Chapter 40: The Lady Asks
The small courtyard was quiet, Xiao Qian looked at the girl who was lying on the backgammon and stared at him with big black and white eyes, shook his head slightly, picked up the fragrant tea that was still steaming from his side, and took a sip gently.
"Today's young people are amazing!" He seemed to be talking to himself, as if he was talking about Zhao Huchen, who had just left.
"Father-in-law Xiao, you said that you wanted to play chess with some blood, and now you lose and say this, can't you ......afford to lose?"
Xiao Qian turned his head to look at the girl, and smiled, with a little kindness in his eyes: "I'm not talking about you, but the kid who just left, but I just want to beg me to get someone, this hollowing out of my mind, it's a pity......"
"You mean him!" The girl blinked: "I don't think it's a big deal!" ”
"Girl, don't you know, this little guy is An Yuanbo's bloodline, at that time in Tumubao, there were many people with titles in Nanjing City, all of them followed the emperor, and there were many of these people who broke the inheritance, and then His Majesty ascended the throne, of course His Majesty had to take back these titles, and those whose bloodlines were broken, that's it, but these bloodlines were not broken, but it was a little chilling......"
The girl's mouth was slightly open, as if for the first time she had heard such a thing.
"It can be regarded as an orphan of a loyal minister, life is not easy, if you can help it, you can help it!" Xiao Qian said lightly: "Don't look at me, not all the people in the palace are only silver in their eyes, and occasionally there are bloody men." ”
"Like Wang Zhen?" The girl looked at Xiao Qian, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily showed a hint of sneer.
"No, like the Three Treasure Eunuchs!" Xiao Qian replied, his eyes swept over the girl: "You are still young, don't talk nonsense just now, it doesn't matter if you talk about it here, outsiders will listen to it, it's not good!" ”
"Where can outsiders hear!" The girl said faintly, "This huge Nanjing City is just a bigger cage, I know that my father-in-law is for my good and won't let me go out, hey, forget it, do you want to have another game?" ”
"No, I don't have that much money to lose!" Xiao Qian smiled and waved his hand: "I'll sit down, you can do whatever you want!" ”
"It's boring!" The girl muttered, ignored Xiao Qian, and went out on her own.
The town guard mansion is very big, but no matter how big it is, for such a long time here, the girl is also very familiar with this place, and the people around her know her temper, let her kick a small pebble all the way, or toss the flowers and trees on the side of the road, as if she didn't see it, just follow from a distance, let her stay in her sight.
Occasionally, there were servants on the side of the road, and when they saw her passing, they all bowed their heads slightly, and the girl seemed to be familiar with this kind of courtesy, thinking about her own thoughts, and in her heart, these people who bowed their heads on the side of the road were the same as the grass and trees, no different.
I don't know how long it took, the girl raised her head, and found that she had walked all the way to the front yard, she hesitated for a moment, and was about to turn around, but she saw the side door of the town guard mansion open, and the people who had just disturbed her and Xiao Gan to play chess walked in again under the leadership of the people in the town guard mansion.
Her eyes lit up, and she beckoned to the green-clothed eunuch at the front: "Who's that, come here!" ”
The green-clothed eunuch was stunned for a moment, and immediately trotted over with a smile: "Little Cao Jing, what does the young lady command?" ”
"What are you doing here?" The girl asked, tilting her head.
"Isn't this the matter that the old ancestor ordered to do, isn't the little one going to take them to see the old ancestor?" Cao Jing explained with a smile.
"Oh, I'm fine, I'll take them to see your ancestors!" The girl glanced behind him, and learned Xiao Qian's tone just now: "What should you do, don't worry about it!" ”
"This is good, this is good, Miss Hard!" Cao Jing smiled like a flower on her face, "The little one will retire!" ”
Behind Zhao Huchen, Shen asked Xu Bai with his eyes, the scene in front of him made him a little confused, Xu Bai shook his head slowly, he didn't know what the number of this little girl was, he was just Zhao Huchen's entourage at the moment, but he was not qualified to ask out loud.
On the girl's side, she was already chattering with Zhao Huchen: "I heard that you are the descendant of An Yuanbo, what are you doing now?" ”
"Your name is Huchen, Zhao Huchen, then you are very familiar with Nanjing?"
"Qinhuai River, I've been there, it's very lively, but it's a bit smoky, it's not good, the officials of Ying Tianfu don't know what to eat!"
The girl didn't know where there were so many problems, and seeing that Zhao Huchen was tired of coping, Xu Bai and Shen Yun both shook their heads helplessly.
"Which child is this, I seem to be very familiar with Grandpa Xiao!" Xu Bai said softly: "When you see Gonggong Xiao, you will follow what you just taught you on the road, no matter how big his appetite is, as long as you can get out and fill his appetite!" ”
"I understand!" Shen Yun's lips moved slightly: "I'm good at spending money!" ”
"What are you two muttering, and you don't keep up yet!" The girl in front didn't know what to ask, Zhao Huchen grabbed his head, as if he couldn't answer, the girl's eyes swept over, and at a glance she saw the two of them who were left behind.
"Are you the guy who was captured by the brocade guard?" The girl glared at Shen Yun: "Say, something has happened!" ”
"If you go back to Miss, the villain is also confused, she is good at home, and Jinyiwei will rush in and arrest someone or something!" Shen Yun looked aggrieved: "If it weren't for Gonggong Xiao's words, I'm afraid that the villain would have died unjustly this time!" ”
"Your eyes are turning so fast, you must not be telling the truth!" The girl turned her head, "Zhao Huchen, is this person telling the truth!" ”
Zhao Huchen turned his head, his face was stunned, this girl was bombarded with questions repeatedly, and he hadn't come to his senses yet!
"This young lady, when people speak, if their eyes are erratic, and there are occasional pauses when they speak, they are lying, Master Shen is like this, do you think he is lying?"
The girl glanced at Xu Bai, and the corners of her mouth were a little disdainful: "If I lie, I will think about how to say it first, how can I stop talking!" ”
"If that's the case, look at each other's eyes!" Xu Bai said stubbornly: "If a person is lying, his eyes will involuntarily dodge the other party, if the young lady takes a closer look, she will find that when the liar's eyes are dodging the other party's eyes, this eye involuntarily looks towards the upper right!" ”
"Who are you, and how do you know these things?" The girl stared at Xu Bai strangely.
"The little one's name is Xu Bai, and he is a little subordinate who serves our son-in-law!" Xu Bai said.
The girl looked at him tightly and suddenly laughed: "You lied, just now your eyes turned to the upper right!" ”
