Several people were busy all night, and now they were guarding a table of hot, fragrant breakfast, and they ate like a storm, and in the middle was Gao Yuan, and while eating, he said: "This meat porridge is fragrant—it would be better to sprinkle some wild leeks on it." ”

The four of them were eating, and Zuo Xiaosi pushed the door and came in, still holding a bag of steamed buns in his hand. When he entered the door and saw a table of food, and then looked at the steamed buns in his hand, Zuo Xiaosi immediately put down the steamed buns and ate them around the table.

Zhou Nan was already full, and Gao Yuan was also a little embarrassed, hehe smiled, and said, "Fourth brother, are these meals enough?" It's not enough, I'll ask you for it again. ”

The meal was enough, but Zuo Xiaosi didn't have much appetite, so he ate two steamed buns on the way when he came. Zuo Xiaosi touched his belly and said, "What's the matter, it was the Gao family brothers who blackmailed other people's money last night, and they have a treat today?" ”

Gao Shouxiao was about the same age as Zuo Xiaosi, and said with a smile: "I bought a bag of gold, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it in a year." ”

Gao Yuanjian saw that Zuo Xiaosi talked about the gold beads, so he took out two brocade bags from his arms, which were the brocade bags that the two Gao Shouzhong brothers got from the black-clothed man at night, and said to Zhou Nan: "The Gao brothers gave me these two bags of gold beads, saying that they were handed over to the public treasury after I went back. ”

Zhou Nan took it, checked it in his hand, and handed the two brocade bags to Gao Shouzhong and Gao Shouxiao respectively, and said, "This is what you two get, you two can keep it." ”

Gao Shouzhong and the two brothers looked at the brocade bag in their hands, Gao Shouxiao looked at his brother, and Gao Shouzhong said: "Da Lang, if in the past, the two of us got this gold bead last night, and the partners saw that they had a share, so they all shared. Gao Shouxiao also nodded, this is the rule left by the older generation, even if it is a gold bead.

Gao Shouzhong said again: "It's just that since you came to the cottage and handled the gold and silver, I haven't seen you leave a penny, all of which are put in the treasury and used by the whole village." My brother and I can't ask for it ourselves, so let's leave it to the stockade. ”

Zhou Nan persuaded: "The two of you will marry a wife and have a family and have children in the future, and you will have to spend it, and you will be useful in the future." ”

Gao Shouzhong said with a smile: "If you want to talk about marrying a wife and starting a family, which of the five of us married a wife and started a family?" My brothers can't take the money first. When I need it in the future, I will borrow it from you. ”

Zhou Nan nodded at this time, and said with a smile to Gao Yuan: "In this way, the money in the treasury is still not enough - there are so many bachelors in the village, and it is not a decimal number to marry a wife and have children in the future." ”

Several people were amused by Zhou Nan's words. Zhou Nan untied a brocade bag, poured out a few from it, gave two to Gao Shouzhong and Gao Shouxiao, and said: "Money and wealth, when you use it is money, when you don't use it, it is soil-these four, give it to the two of you, and it will be the thought of coming to Yanjing this time." ”

As he spoke, he also handed one to Zuo Xiaosi, and the three of them no longer shirked, and put it on their bodies happily.

Zhou Nan asked Gao Yuan to put away the brocade bag again, and then asked, "Fourth brother, why are you coming back late?" ”

Zuo Xiaosi saw Zhou Nan asking, only a row of thighs, and said, "I almost missed a big thing!" Da Lang, this Hu Dugu is not like a righteous person, didn't you say that you would leave Yanjing today? He asked people to come and keep an eye on us, and he wanted to keep an eye on us when we left Yanjing City. ”

"Anything else?" Zhou Nan asked.

Zuo Xiaosi slapped his head twice and said, "No." Later, he only asked one person: How is the situation over there, and the person said that it was done. Nothing else. ”

Gao Yuan couldn't help but say, "How did the fourth brother find out about these things? I was already discovered. ”

Zuo Xiaosi smiled proudly and said, "This is all taught by Da Lang!" ”

Zhou Nan took a sip of tea and said to Gao Yuan: "Big brother, I always think this Hu Dugu is a little weird - it is said that we have already saved the princess at night, and we are worthy of her hospitality." But when we walked like this, it was like a tiger, as if we were afraid of these thieves. ”

Gao Yuan usually giggles, but now when he heard Zhou Nan say this, his face was also solemn, and he said: "I understand what you mean, you are worried that Hu Dugu will send someone tonight, right?" It's just that if we don't leave, Hu Dugu will definitely not send someone here. It's going to be difficult, we can't afford not to go back here, can we? ”

Zhou Nan said: "These are all easy to do. It's just that if you come again, there will definitely be no shortage of people, and you must prepare some crossbows and arrows to prevent losses. ”

"This crossbow is easy to do, my fourth brother and I used to come often, and I also know a few people who sell swords, bows and crossbows, just buy more." Gao Yuan didn't care about Zhou Nan's question, and asked: "If you go, you will come, if you don't go, you will not come-how is this good?" ”

Zhou Nan clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Let's go." I'll go and say goodbye to the princess. He looked at Gao Yuan again and said, "Brother Gao, you and I will go with you to bid farewell to the princess." ”

The two asked the shopkeeper about it, only to find out that the princess was still in the backyard. It's back to the place I was here last night. During the day, the backyard looks very elegant, with flowers and plants on the east and west sides of the yard, and two peach trees planted in front of the main house, with green and shiny leaves. There are a few stools and a few low ones under the main house, and it can be seen that the owner often rests next to this peach tree. It's just that the broken railing on the second floor is a little incongruous.

Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan stood in the middle of the courtyard, Gao Yuan raised his voice and said, "Little Gao Yuan asks to see." ”

A pretty figure flashed next to the railing on the second floor, which was the silver screen of the maid next to the princess. Yinping actually saw it from behind the screen window after the two entered the backyard, and only then did they stand up when they heard Gao Yuan shouting below. Yinping said on it, "Please sit downstairs in the living room." ”

Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan walked into a spacious living room next to the stairs, and Yinping also came down from upstairs, first bowed deeply to the two, and said: "Yinping first thanked the two heroes for saving their lives last night. ”

Gao Yuan and the others hurriedly stood up, and they didn't even dare to say it. Yinping asked, "I wonder what the two heroes want to see the princess?" ”

Gao Yuan said directly: "I have finished waiting for a few people, and I will return today, and I have come to say goodbye to the princess." ”

Yinping was a little disappointed when she heard Gao Yuan say that she was leaving today, and said, "Wait, two, I'll tell the princess." Then he went upstairs again. It took a while to come down from the upper floor, still carrying a wooden box in his hand.

Yinping opened the wooden box, presented it to Gao Yuan and the two of them, and said: "The princess said, the grace of saving her life is beyond repayment, and she should have thanked the two in person, but she was frightened last night, caught a cold, and was sick in bed, so it was inconvenient to come down." I ordered me to send them to the two. Say thank you. ”

Gao Yuan looked at the wooden box, there were pieces of gold ingots in it, which were filled until they were level with the mouth of the wooden box, and said with a smile: "The princess is so thankful." "Just laughing, but not taking it.

Zhou Nan clenched his fists and said to Yinping: "I waited for a few people to meet last night, but I was grateful to the princess for allowing me to stay here, not for this thing." I am here to say goodbye to the princess. If nothing else, leave it at that. ”
