It was night, the moon hook was hanging high, and the sky was covered with a layer of clouds, and it was almost impossible to see a star.

The mansion of the Marquis of Jiansheng was quiet, and a few pale yellow lanterns hanging under the corridor were swaying back and forth in the cold wind. The whole mansion was like a sentry standing guard, standing alone on the northeastern border.

The harsh winter has arrived, but the supply of carbon fire in the phoenix dyeing house is insufficient. She only thought that Sui Yu had deliberately done it by the people under him, after all, he had often made him very unhappy recently.

Before, Feng Ran didn't take it seriously, because she drilled into the portable space every day, and used the spiritual spring water in a different way, and the original weak little body soared very fast.

It wasn't until today that Xiaobao was bathed, the thin child couldn't stop shivering in the warm bathtub, and Yun'er and Rui'er were a little shrunken when they started working, and Feng Ran realized this problem. When I thought about taking Xiaobao to see Sui Yu for a while, I had to think about mentioning it to him.

After Xiaobao bathed, he immediately changed his appearance, and he was still a beautiful little boy. Rui'er went to search the attendants below, and only then did she find a little boy's old clothes. Even so, it is very fat on Xiaobao.

Feng Ran pinched Xiaobao's face, which didn't have much meat, and said with a soft smile: "Xiaobao will be there for one night, and I'll buy you new clothes tomorrow." ”

"This one is good, I don't want new clothes." Xiaobao grabbed the long sleeves and said with great affection: "I can wear it for a long time." ”

Feng Ran felt sour, took Xiaobao back to the ground and took care of it, and advised: "Have you remembered what I told you just now?" ”

Xiaobao nodded heavily, and he would remember every word Feng Ran said to him. In general, Xiaobao is much more precocious than children of the same age, very clever and sensible, and has his own judgment and opinions in his heart.

Feng Ran led the rejuvenated Xiaobao to the door of the east room, only to see that the lights and candles in the room were bright, and after breathing a sigh of relief, Fang knocked on the door.

Xiaobao raised his head and looked at his "mother" in confusion, what kind of devil was hidden in this house, so that she was afraid of being like this?

Oh, Shui Sheng came to open the door, and then two people walked out from behind him, it was Guo Lin and the Confucian in Tsing Yi.

Guo Lin saluted Feng Ran with his crossed hands, and then invited the Confucian man in Tsing Yi forward, bowed and said, "Madam, this is the new housekeeper in our house, Mr. Sun." ”

The Confucian man in Tsing Yi hurriedly bent down and sang, and said with a smile: "No, Sun Xiang, meet Mrs. Feng." ”

This person reveals a sleek energy all over his body, giving people a very unsteady feeling. Feng Ran subconsciously summed it up, and in an instant wondered if he was biased? This Mr. Sun came to the house to rob her of her "job".

"Mr. Sun is polite." Feng Ran bowed back, did not say much, and did not take out the little treasure hiding behind her to call someone.

Sun Xiang pretended not to see Xiaobao's existence, but Guo Lin couldn't help but glance at the thin child, as if he had something to spit out, but when he came to his mouth, he swallowed it back, and only said in a low voice: "Then Mrs. Go to see Master Hou, and your subordinates and Mr. Sun will retire first." ”

Feng Ran his head, led Xiaobao to turn sideways slightly, and made way for the two of them. The aquatic life on the other side is a standard bitter gourd face, although he didn't say anything, it can be regarded as a wake-up call for Feng Ran in disguise.

Feng Ran stepped into the threshold with Xiaobao, but saw Jin Sheng standing in front of the big red sandalwood case in the open hall, obviously reprimanded by Sui Yu.

For many days, Sui Yu's thoughts have never been good. The emperor and queen who were far away in the capital died suddenly, and the Beili Dynasty said that if the sky changes, the sky will change. Not to mention that he himself was sent to this bitter cold land, even the reward that the court had promised him earlier was not delivered.

There was no movement on the side of the capital, and the court didn't even bother to give a high-sounding reason. Not to mention Jinxian here, it has been less than a whole month since Sui Yu moved over, and the officials, squires and businessmen who were eager to come to meet the Marquis of Jiansheng were as if they had discussed it, and they would not come to knock on the door of the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion again.

Part of the reason has to be attributed to Sui Yu himself. Some people came to visit, and Sui Yu sent people to take the stickers, but they supported them to meet again after the spring of the next year; Some didn't even accept the stickers, and directly asked the concierge to send them away.

However, Sui Yu is the hero of the Northern Li Dynasty in the end, even if he has a difficult temperament, he should not be forgotten by everyone so soon.

Sui Yu didn't care that he was forgotten by the world, and he didn't care if there was anyone praising him behind his back, he just felt that the current situation was very strange.

However, with his style of doing things, even if he was starved to death one day, he would not run back to the capital to question the officials, households, and internal affairs supervisors. No matter how they prevaricate, he will not go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to consult the book, so don't mention it to the emperor to complain.

Perhaps, some people just grasped this weakness of him and dared to blatantly bully him.

Sui Yu is very embarrassed, his life can be lost, but the dignity that cannot be touched has to be protected. Feng Ran really didn't see it at the beginning, he was such a screwed person.

It was Sui Yu who was worried in his heart, he didn't have any foundation, and in his early years, he was full of food and the whole family was not hungry. After suffering a tragic accident and crippling his legs last year, he opened the mansion under the will of Emperor Yuan Jing. From time to time there was Emperor Yuan Jing in the capital, and the days of taking off his military uniform were quite good.

Now that he is far away in the bitter cold land in the east, the generals and servants of the first house are supported, and there are so many mouths to eat and dress, if the court really breaks his reward, I really don't know how to live in the future.

Sun Xiang was the housekeeper candidate that Guo Lin and Shui Sheng had been looking for outside for several days. He had been roughly familiar with the internal situation of the Hou Mansion with Shui Sheng two days ago, and today he officially came to meet the Marquis of Jiansheng, and brought a great gift to Sui Yu.

This gift is the summary of the assets of the Marquis of Jiansheng's mansion, and according to Sun Xiang's preliminary estimate, these money can only last for half a year at most. Seeing that Sui Yudu was about to crush his temples, Sun Xiang was also very depressed, thinking that he had taken over a fat shortage, no matter how the marquis from the capital came, who would have thought that in addition to the appearance of the façade, there was so nothing in it.

Sui Yu had a headache, and Guo Lin and Shui Sheng had a headache. At this time, Jin Shenghuo hurriedly ran in and told his master that Feng Ran had brought back a homeless thief outside.

As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room was petrified on the spot. Feng Ran will really pick the opportunity to rush to the muzzle of the gun at this juncture.

"Hou, Master Hou, have you had dinner?" Cold sweat oozed from Feng Ran's palms, making Xiaobao's little hands wet.

Sui Yu raised his eyes sideways, his gaze was slightly cold, and he glanced at Feng Ran and Xiaobao behind her casually, and said indifferently: "You are really capable." ”

"Master Hou, I'm ......" Feng Ran stammered, didn't he use the previous method of crying, making trouble and hanging himself, and Sui Yu didn't accept it at all? This time, she had to think of an ingenious trick.

"Either you send him out, or you both go back to the capital together."

Feng Ran knew that Sui Yuhui would say this, and he didn't know if he was fighting on the front line, and he had seen too many misfortunes and human tragedies, how did his heart become so hard?

Just as Feng Ran was brewing, Xiaobao behind her suddenly let go of her palm and rushed towards Sui Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

"Daddy, daddy, Xiaobao must be obedient, beg daddy not to drive away Xiaobao and his mother!" Xiaobao cried so much that he was heartbroken, and he took a "daddy" and called Feng Ran Meng.

She swore that she never taught Xiaobao to say this, she only explained to Xiaobao before coming to the main house, and after entering, she had to understand the rules and not talk nonsense, that's all.

This little guy's "consciousness" is really high, Feng Ran snickered in his heart, but saw that Sui Yu in a wheelchair was no longer able to speak.

"You, who do you call daddy?" Sui Yu wanted to push Xiaobao away, but his subordinates didn't really use their strength.

Jin Sheng threw a "you understand this time" expression to Shui Sheng, Shui Sheng couldn't help laughing, half-squatted in front of Xiaobao, and coaxed: "Good boy, hurry up and let go of your hand, Hou Ye is not your father, and the title 'Daddy' can't be called casually." ”

Xiaobao wiped away her tears and looked at Feng Ran behind her, "She is a mother." He turned his head to stare at Sui Yu again, "He's Daddy." ”

"Feng Ran, why don't you hurry up and take him away to Ben Hou!" Sui Yu suddenly roared, shocking Xiaobao all over, he finally understood why Feng Ran was so afraid of him. The temper of this "daddy" exploded.

Feng Ran hurriedly pulled Xiaobao back, and said aggrievedly: "A homeless child, can the house send him this mouthful of food?" You just let him follow me, and his food, clothing, and everything else is not enough in my monthly routine? ”

"What do you think of the Marquis of Jiansheng's Mansion? If you take him in today, and tomorrow you will meet other homeless people and beggars outside, will you also bring them all back? ”

"Just this once, I won't make my own decisions in the future." In addition to begging bitterly, she can't think of any other way, Xiaobao can't call him daddy, she is really poor in donkey skills!

"Go back and pack your luggage, and the two of you will go back to the capital early tomorrow morning!" Sui Yu has made up his mind, "Hurry up, don't be an eyesore here." ”

"Daddy......" Xiaobao slipped past Feng Ran again, there were still tears on his face that had not dried up, he stepped forward and grabbed Sui Yu's finger, "Daddy, don't let your mother leave, Daddy hates Xiaobao, Xiaobao will leave now." ”

Sui Yu's eyes were disgusted and resistant, but his fingers were held by Xiaobao, "It's dark outside, who is it that you go out and meet an accident now?" ”

"There will be no accidents, Xiaobao runs outside every day, and he has long been used to it." Xiaobao smiled bitterly and said, "Daddy, don't be so fierce, can't you?" Mother's going to be scared. ”

"Don't call me Dad, how can I have a son as big as you?"

"Xiaobao is not worthy, Xiaobao knows."

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?"

Feng Ran is on the side as if looking at the script, is it really a thing descending a thing? Sui Yu was obviously moved, and he was now hard-mouthed. Her hanging heart fell back halfway, and she smiled at each other.

"Xiaobao's mother is sick and dead, and his father seems to be dead too."

"What do you mean as if you're dead?"

"I heard the old man who lived in the ruined temple with me say that my father was arrested by a strong man."

"Your father was conscripted and left, and his whereabouts are unknown?"

Xiaobao couldn't say clearly, first nodded, and then shook his head. Feng Ran stabbed Sui Yuxin in the tube and said, "Maybe I died because I went with you to fight Xi Qi." ”
