After sleeping until dark, Xuan Shijing got up and got out of bed, stretched, put on a thick mink robe, put on slippers, opened the door, and walked out.

"Where's Long'er?" Xuan Shijing stopped a maid and asked.

"Back to the little marquis, Long'er is preparing dinner for the little marquis in the kitchen." The maid blessed her body and said.

"Okay, then you can get busy." Xuan Shijing motioned for the maid to retreat, then went back to the room to change clothes and shoes, and walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Long'er was busy frying the eggplant box, and when she turned around coldly, she saw Xuan Shijing walking into the kitchen.

"Little Hou Ye woke up, why did you run to the kitchen? After a while, Long'er will finish it and send it directly to your room. Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing at the door and said, remembering that there was still an eggplant box fried in the pot, so she quickly came back to her senses and turned the eggplant box over.

"I'm bored in the house anyway, so I'll come and have a look." Xuan Shijing walked into the kitchen and came to the table, where there was an eggplant box made by Long'er, Xuan Shijing picked up one and took a bite, nodded and praised: "Long'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better." ”

After listening to Xuan Shijing's words, Long'er showed a smile on her face: "Thank you for the praise of the little marquis, Long'er thinks that the craftsmanship of the little marquis must be better than that of Long'er, because these are all taught by the little marquis." ”

Xuan Shijing shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, maybe I'll just say it, I won't do it, by the way, Long'er, how old are you after the New Year?" ”

"Master Hou, how can you ask the girl's age so directly." Long'er said angrily: "Long'er will be fifteen years old after this year." ”

"I'll go!" Xuan Shijing swallowed the food in his mouth and looked at Long'er in surprise: "You are only fifteen years old?!" ”

Long'er took out the eggplant box in the pot and nodded at Xuan Shijing: "Yes, why is Master Hou so surprised?" Long'er has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is indeed taller than her peers. ”

Deep guilt, Xuan Shijing's heart is surging, this girl is still a child laborer, and then look at the eggplant box in her hand, made by a fifteen-year-old girl.

"Long'er, don't do these things in the future, just leave them to the chef in the house." Xuan Shijing said that at Long'er's age, she will be a junior high school student in the next life, and if you let a junior high school student do so much work, Xuan Shijing can't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Long'er refused.

"Little Hou Ye, how can that be done? This is what you taught Long'er, so don't spread it out, besides, isn't Long'er still the secretary of the little marquis, and the little marquis's food, of course, must be done by Long'er herself, and others will do it, and Long'er is not at ease. Long'er extinguished the fire in the stove and brought the newly prepared dishes to Xuan Shijing.

I really can see that Long'er, this girl, still has a slight paranoia of being killed.

After sleeping all afternoon, Xuan Shijing was really hungry, and at the banquet after the court meeting, he patronized and talked to Li Chengqian, but he didn't eat much, not to mention, where are the things made in the palace as delicious as those made by Long'er.

"Master Hou is slow, it's not easy to restrain if you eat dinner too quickly." Long'er told on the side.

"It's okay, after eating, let's go to the back garden for a stroll, and take a look at Dabao Erbao by the way." Xuan Shijing said: "Enjoy a few days of leisure, out of the New Year, your marquis and I will enter the palace as deep as the sea." ”

"What is Master Hou doing in the palace?" Long'er was puzzled.

"Today, Your Majesty said at the banquet that I will go out of the New Year and go to the palace to listen to the study." Xuan Shijing said while eating: "I have read a lot of books at home, if I am allowed to go to a private school with King Jin, how boring, if I follow the prince to Hongwen Pavilion, I am a small child mixed in the middle of their group of half-grown children, still uncomfortable, by the way, did Your Majesty send the five hundred copper coins?" ”

"The one sent over in the evening has been put into the warehouse, you are really good, you didn't care about the affairs of the house before, the house was very poor, you have only been taking care of it for a few days, and we have money to spare." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing with a look of adoration.

"What's this, it's just that no one in our family knew how to make money before, and they all cared about the face of being a noble, Hou Ye, I don't have so many scruples, where is this, rest assured, in the future, our family's money will definitely make you count until your hands cramp, and then you don't have to do anything, just squat in the warehouse all day long and count the money and play." Xuan Shijing broke a piece of steamed bread and stuffed it into his mouth: "Long'er, next time you pound some garlic juice and dip it in the eggplant box to eat, it's a little greasy to eat like this." ”

"Got it, Master Hou." Long'er nodded.

"I'm full, let's go, let's go see Dabao Erbao." Xuan Shijing put down the chopsticks and steamed buns in his hand, got up and patted the crumbs that he was afraid of falling on his body, and took two roasted chicken thighs.

followed Long'er to the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and walked around to the place where the two treasures were raised.

The tiger's nose is naturally very sensitive, probably smelling Xuan Shijing's breath, Erbao ran out happily, ran in front of Xuan Shijing, and rubbed Xuan Shijing's clothes.

Xuan Shijing reached out and touched Erbao's head, and smiled helplessly: "Erbao, you are a tiger, not a cat" Sending a chicken leg in his hand to Erbao, Erbao opened his mouth to take it, took a few steps back with the chicken leg in his mouth, and then began to bite. The other chicken leg in his hand was naturally prepared for Dabao, although Dabao's eyes were blind, but Xuan Shijing found that its ears were becoming more and more sensitive, and it was estimated that he heard the footsteps of Xuan Shijing and Long'er, so he was relieved that Erbao came out alone.

"Dabao." Xuan Shijing called.

I heard a low roar not far away, as if in response to Xuan Shijing, a huge figure appeared in Xuan Shijing's line of sight, and Dabao walked slowly towards Xuan Shijing with steady steps.

"Dabao, the meat for you is cooked." Xuan Shijing smiled and threw the chicken leg in his hand at Dabao, who took off a tiger pounce and caught the chicken leg in his mouth.

Xuan Shijing said to Long'er behind him: "It seems that Gao Jun has trained the two treasures of Dabao well, and he has not lost his wildness, which is very good." ”

Dabao's chicken leg had just bitten into his mouth, but suddenly he put it down, letting out a deep low roar.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, and looked at Dabao with a vigilant look.

Erbao's eyes also became sharp, and his back was to Xuan Shijing, as if he was protecting Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing looked back at Long'er, and saw that Long'er also had a serious face.

"Little Marquis, there are people in the house, and the way is not clear." Long'er frowned and said, but she wondered in her heart, why Gao Jun didn't stop them.

Before Xuan Shijing could react, there were a few more black figures in the garden, all of them were dressed in black night clothes, with cloth toveils covering their faces, and after seeing Xuan Shijing, they slowly approached this side.

Long'er stretched out her hand to protect Xuan Shijing, staring nervously at the black-clothed people in front of her.

Dabao's only remaining eye showed a fierce light, and he raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, which scared these black-clothed people a lot.

"How can there be a tiger in the Hou Mansion." The man in black was shocked.

Dabao took advantage of the moment when the person in front of him was stunned, a tiger pounced and bit the neck of one of the black-clothed people, and with a click, the person's neck was bitten off by Dabao and he lost his breath on the spot. Xuan Shijing couldn't help but gasp when he saw this, and secretly rejoiced, fortunately, Dabaotong's humanity is also familiar with the people in the house.

Xuan Shijing's small two treasures in front of him also had a pair of tiger eyes glowing with green light, and he looked very excited to learn from Dabao's appearance, and pounced on another man in black, but because he was young, his body was not as good as Dabao, and his strength was far from Dabao, so he didn't throw the man in black to the ground, but just left a wound on the man's body with his claws.
