7. Evening
As soon as Luo Quan heard that there was a play, he persuaded the old lady: "Lao Anren, now is the time to see the truth." If you insist on living in the temple, you will also let outsiders say that Xiaole and his sister-in-law will not be saved when they see death, right? β
Lao Anren lowered her eyes slightly, and the young woman beside her leaned down and said, "Old lady, it is better to let the slave go and take a look, and then reply, so that the old lady can call the shots." This is very decent, Xu Lao'an bowed slightly: "It's okay for you to go and see, if it's really inconvenient, let's live in the temple." β
Luo Quan breathed a sigh of relief. There was a little-known past between him and Xu Hui, if it weren't for Xu Hui's momentary kindness, there would be no Luo Baihu today. It's just that the Xu family has always had a big business, and even if Luo Quan has the heart to repay his kindness, no one needs it. Now that the Xu family has suffered a mutation, Luo Quan naturally has to secretly help to defend it.
It's just that it is very taboo for civil and military officials to make friends in private. In particular, he is not an ordinary military attachΓ©, but one of the Jinyi Guards, one of the direct guards - the emperor's confidants and eyes in the local area. If it weren't for that, Luo Quan would have taken the Xu family into his home a long time ago.
If Mrs. Xu lived in the temple, there would be a lot of people, and it would be inconvenient for Luo Quan to take care of it. However, as soon as Xu Huo had an accident, it was showing that the world was warm and cold, and most of the fox friends and dog friends in the past avoided it, who would take the Xu family to live? If Xu Hui has a gentleman's friend, he may be able to come to the door for help. But Xu Huo is not a gentleman himself, where is a gentleman willing to associate with him?
Luo Quan went through it in his mind, and found that only Xu Xiaolejia was the most suitable. First of all, his home used to be a medical center - although no one goes to see a doctor now, the excuse given to Lao An is that he is seriously ill, and it is logical to live in a medical center. Secondly, the Xu family is a widow and a hairy boy, and no one can make a big deal. The last one is that people are clan relatives, and it is a matter of course to accept the victims.
Xu Xiaole very much hoped that Xu Lao'an would bring someone to live there, but he was a little nervous, for fear that his sister-in-law would not accept it.
Because the Xu family was being raided, the family leaving was the last step, and they had to be searched to prevent them from carrying valuable money, so Xu Xiaole went back first, just to find out the tone of his sister-in-law.
Luo Quan naturally went out with Xu Xiaole, for fear that Xiaole would really do something to be caught. When he got outside, Luo Quan said: "Today is very good, I am very satisfied." Xu Xiaole grinned and stretched out his hand, meaning that he wanted the gold ingot in the promise.
Luo Quan originally said it casually, and shamelessly took a hundred-dollar treasure note and slapped it on Xu Xiaole's hand, and said, "If Xu Lao'an comes over, I will give you ten treasure bills every month." β
Xu Xiaole had already changed his face a little when he saw the treasure bill of "One Hundred Wen". He said: "Uncle Luo, although I am young, I also know that this money is no longer worth much. Ten new banknotes can only buy one bucket of rice. β
Luo Quan pursed his lips: "I will give you extra rice, and I will definitely not make your family suffer." β
Xu Xiaole was still a little sullen. Luo Quan said: "Zhang Daer's matter, it's actually quite troublesome. I'm afraid you don't know him, the silver he earns has to be distributed to the people in the official face, and people have real money to take a draw, so they are naturally willing to protect it. When I went to say hello, not only did I have to pay for the favor, but I also had to break a few fees. β
This hit Xu Xiaole's weakness, and he had no choice but to say: "Please also ask Uncle Luo to be more thoughtful." β
Luo Quan patted Xu Xiaole's shoulder: "It's easy to say, although the Xu family has fallen, I'm still there." If you behave well, I don't mind having more than one godson. β
Xu Xiaole thought to himself: To be a son, you have to go up to the pole to beg, which is too embarrassing. So he refused to answer, but just diverted the topic and said, "I'd better go back quickly, and let my sister-in-law know." β
Luo Quan let him go, and he didn't plan to go to Zhang Daer. has his own son as a talisman by Xu Xiaole's side, and Zhang Da'er is not a brainless little mess, how can he mess around.
Xu Xiaole ran outside to meet Luo Yun, and the two walked home while talking. Xu Xiaole's home is in Mudu Town, and there is still a long way to go back from the city.
Unlike going into the city to make a windfall, the mood is quite high, and when I go back, I want to face the female power of the tigress, and the road seems to be much longer. Fortunately, he encountered an ox cart on the road, so Xu Xiaole gave the treasure money he got today to the illiterate old farmer, and even coaxed him into hitchhiking back.
Luo Yun originally wanted to go home, but was abducted out by Xu Xiaole with a few words, and I am afraid that he can only sleep in the Xu family's guest room at night. He lived in the Xu family for a period of time when he was a child, and asked Xu Xiaole's father Xu Rong to treat him, so he formed a deep friendship with Xu Xiaole.
When it was nearly dark, the two finally returned to Mudu's home. The courtyard door was just hidden, Xu Xiaole pushed the door in, and did not forget to instruct Luo Yun to go up to the door bolt. He ran into the hall in three or two steps, and saw that it was pitch black and no one was there. I ran through the patio of the second entrance and went upstairs in three or two steps.
The upstairs room was also pitch black, Xu Xiaole cautiously touched the door of his sister-in-law, listened attentively, there was no movement inside, and secretly said in his heart: Great, sister-in-law went to bed early today, everything is fine! He tiptoed back to his room again, but he heard heavy footsteps at the stairs, and naturally Luo Yun came up.
Xu Xiaole was shocked, and hurriedly went over to make a quiet gesture, and lowered his voice: "Lighter!" Sister-in-law slept. β
Luo Yun's mouth was compared to a circle, and when he landed again, he was the same as Xu Xiaole. The two crept into Xu Xiaole's room like thieves. Xu Xiaole waited for Luo Yun to enter the house, turned around and closed the door, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Don't wake up that tigress, otherwise we will have to suffer." β
"Hmm...... Where's your velvet? Light the lights. Luo Yundao.
Xu Xiaole said impatiently: "It's on the table." β
A red dot appeared in the darkness, and it was someone who blew the velvet and handed it to Luo Yun.
Luo Yun took it and lit the light.
The oil lamp grew an inch long from a tiny flower, dispelling the darkness in the room. Xu Xiaole fell into an ice cellar, eager to blow out the oil lamp and escape again.
For he saw that the tigress in his mouth was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at the hands that looked like jade carvings, and there was a rolling pin beside her.
Luo Yun looked at Xu Xiaole strangely: "Why are you standing here?" So who gave me the velvet...... It's Sister Wanqing......" He slowly turned his head and saw Tong Wanqing with an unkind face.
Tong Wanqing snorted coldly.
Luo Yun smiled very unjustly: "Then I'll go back to the house and sleep first, Sister Wanqing have a good rest, don't be too tired." β
Xu Xiaole stretched out his hand to pull Luo Yun, but Luo Yun went out in a daze and closed the door.
