Chapter 192: A Treat
Hearing that Gao Ming gave Huzi the name Li Hu, a trace of excitement flashed in Han Liu's eyes, and she knew that her decision just now was correct.
It is traditional for the servant to follow the master's surname, but Gao Ming is a royal family, and whoever he lets change his surname to Li is called the surname, and this concept is different.
To put it simply, Gao Ming gave Li Hu the surname, which is equivalent to drawing a clear line between Li Hu and the Han family with his own hands, even if Li Hu's life experience is exposed in the future, then whoever dares to talk about the "remnants of the previous dynasty" must first ask Gao Mingtong if he agrees.
There is no doubt that this is a talisman.
Li Hu didn't understand it herself, but Han Liu did, so she quickly patted Li Hu's head.
"Huzi, thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his name!"
Hearing Han Liu's words, Li Hu immediately nodded.
"Oh, His Royal Highness Prince Xie gave me a name, and I kowtowed to you!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed to Gao Ming three times, and when he saw this scene, Gao Ming also laughed.
"Okay, just mean it, get up!"
"Hey, hey!"
Seeing Gao Ming smile, Li Hu also stood up while laughing, and only after he got up did Gao Ming nod towards Han Liu.
"Today is a happy day, Huzi and I went to the city to book a banquet, and after that, I will let Huzi pick you up."
After hearing Gao Ming's words, Han Liu shook his head with a smile.
"The concubine is a woman's family, and it is not easy to show up, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have to break the bank."
As soon as Han Liu's words fell, Li Hu also shook his head.
"My mother is not going, I am not going, I have baked cakes is enough!"
Listening to the words of the two women, Gao Ming suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.
"Since you don't want to go to the restaurant, why don't you do it, anyway, you don't lack anything in this pot and pan, let's go to the market to buy some vegetables and meat, let's eat here, Huzi, go, go shopping!"
After speaking, Gao Ming didn't wait for Han Liu's reply, and walked out, Li Hu glanced back at Han Liu's, and saw that she nodded to himself, so he immediately agreed excitedly, and followed Gao Ming out.
Since Gao Ming decided to accept Li Hu, he was not stingy at this time, and after arriving at the market, he began to "sweep", and after a while, he bought several baskets of chickens and ducks, as well as a few geese and two sheep, plus more than a dozen bags of rice noodles and several pieces of cloth, and miscellaneous things pulled a whole ox cart.
When Gao Ming and Huzi came back with the ox cart, Han Liu, who saw this scene, was immediately startled.
"It's ......"
Seeing her shocked appearance, Gao Ming immediately laughed with satisfaction.
"Hahahaha, Mrs. Han, don't worry, these things are not bought with my money, they are bought with the money I advanced to Huzi, including this cow, it cost a total of twelve yuan, and this!"
As he spoke, Gao Ming took out a bag of broken silver from his arms and handed it to Han Liu.
"There are eighteen taels of silver here, a total of thirty yuan, this is Huzi's half a year's money, I will hand it over to you now, lest Huzi lose it when he gets it."
Hearing Gao Ming's words, Han Liu's eyes immediately moistened, but at this time, her face was smiling.
"Even if the tiger is rich, the concubine will accept it!"
Seeing that she accepted the money, Gao Ming also smiled and nodded.
"As it should be!"
After speaking, Gao Ming glanced back at Li Hu, found that the goods were still there and smirked, and immediately kicked it.
"Why don't you move the stuff from the bullock cart into your house? Could it be that you still plan to let me do it? ”
After being kicked by Gao Ming, Li Hu also reacted and immediately nodded his head.
"Hey, I'll go!"
After saying that, he went out to move things, and when he saw this scene, Han Liu also covered his mouth and laughed, and then blessed Gao Ming.
"Huzi, this kid has a stupid head, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't blame him."
Looking at her polite appearance, Gao Ming immediately smiled and waved his hand.
"Mrs. Han, you are wrong, Huzi is not stupid, he is honest, I can rest assured that I will take such a person with me."
Hearing Gao Ming say this, Han Liu nodded gratefully at Gao Ming again.
"In this way, the concubine will be relieved, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will rest for a while, and the concubine will go to boil water."
"Hey, you're busy, don't worry about me!"
After Han Liu's entered the kitchen, Gao Ming went out with a smile to help Li Hu move things, and when Han Liu's came out after making a fire, the yard was already full of things, and the cries of chickens, ducks and geese also attracted the surrounding neighbors.
"Oh, isn't this Huzi's house? Why is it so lively today? ”
"I heard Zhao Si at the city gate say that when Huzi came back today, he was still carrying a person on his back, and he was wearing a big red official robe, I think it must be the old man of the assassin from other states, this time Huzi's family sent it."
"Oh, that's pretty ......"
Liu Bing is the inner servant of Sipin, so the official uniform he wears is crimson, which at first glance is similar to the official uniform of the assassin history, so the people regard him as the assassin of other states.
Hearing the discussion outside, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect Liu Bing to be of this use."
Thinking of this, Gao Ming smiled at Han Liu.
"Mrs. Han, don't tell them my identity later, if they ask, you can just say that I am on an errand in Jinju."
Han Liu knew that Gao Ming must have his intentions, so he nodded, and seeing her nodding, Gao Ming patted Li Hu on the back again.
"Huzi, you can only laugh later, only say yes, do you know?"
"Okay, hey, hey!"
Looking at Li Hu, who was smiling honestly, Gao Ming immediately nodded with satisfaction.
"That's right!"
After speaking, Gao Ming came to the door, and then arched his hand to the people outside the door.
"Uncles and aunts, Huzi has now been favored by Lord Thorn Shi of Jinju, so he is about to take office, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back without ten days and half a month, today he plans to invite the neighbors to have a meal, and ask you to help take care of his mother during this time."
Listening to Gao Ming's words, the surrounding people began to talk again.
"Tsk, you see, I'm right, right?"
"Oh, it turns out that Huzi was really taken by Master Shi of Assassination, and I am afraid that he will also become an official in the future."
"That's it, that's it!"
Then the voice of a woman in the crowd rang out.
"Hey, the tiger wants to invite us to dinner, is it possible that you are just watching? Why don't you go in and help? ”
"Yes, yes, go in and help!"
"I'll do it too!"
Seeing this scene, Gao Ming also laughed.
"Huzi, there are many neighbors who come today, you go and lead the sheep out and kill them."
"Okay, hey, hey!"
Hearing that there were sheep eating, the neighbors suddenly became even happier, and one by one they stepped forward to get close to Han Liu and Hu Zitao.
"Sister Liu, your tiger is promising, and you will enjoy happiness in the future!"
"That's it, Huzi became an official, but forget about us aunts!"
"Look at what you said, Huzi was grown up by me, this child is sincere, Huzi, is it okay for my aunt to marry your Cuihua sister to you as a daughter-in-law?"
Looking at the enthusiastic neighbors, Han Liu smiled very happily, and at the same time, his eyes were full of gratitude.
With the help of a group of neighbors, a sheep was quickly cleaned up and put into the pot, several women chatted while washing vegetables, and discussed with Han Liu's family about borrowing cattle to plow the fields, while Li Hu smiled and stayed by the pot to light the fire, looking at the mutton inside.
When the mutton was cooked, Han Liu even scooped out the meat and soup, and each person gave a big bowl, and asked Li Hu to take out the baked cakes he brought back before and distribute them to everyone.
Seeing that everyone was eating so deliciously, Gao Ming's appetite also improved, and he not only ate a big bowl of mutton and mutton soup, but also ate two large baked cakes.
Gao Ming felt that he had eaten too much, but when he saw Li Hu who was eating wildly with a small basin next to him, he understood what a real big stomach king was.
I don't know if the big guy has great wisdom or not, but now he knows that the big guy must have a big appetite.
After watching Li Hu eat more than a dozen baked cakes and three small pots of mutton soup one after another, Gao Ming suddenly sighed, and then patted Li Hu on the shoulder.
"Huzi, with your way of eating, it's not easy for your mother to raise you so big."
"My mother is good to me, hehe!"
After eating and drinking, the neighbors went back satisfied, and Gao Ming also returned to the inn, and after Gao Ming left, Han Liu sighed with a general face.
"Alas, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a good person, Huzi, since you are his bodyguard, you must protect him well, but don't let the bad guys hurt him, you know?"
"Got it!"
Hearing that he agreed, Han Liu suddenly laughed.
"It's good to know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent two pieces of cloth, and my mother plans to make you a new dress, you come into the house, and my mother will measure the size."
"Hey!"
The thread in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt, the dense sewing before leaving, the intention of returning late.
That night, the oil lamp in Han Liu's house was lit all night.
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Li Hu came to the door of the inn in the city, waited for Gao Ming to come down, and waited until dawn before Gao Ming walked out of the inn.
After coming out, Gao Ming saw Li Hu wearing a new dress, and he immediately laughed.
"Haha, Huzi, this dress is good, your mother sewed it for you?"
Hearing Gao Ming praise his beautiful clothes, Li Hu's face suddenly had a smile.
"Hehe, this is what my mother sewed for me, saying that I can't lose the face of His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Obviously, being able to wear new clothes was indeed a joy for Li Hu, and at this moment he was so smiling that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
At this time, the shopkeeper also brought the horse here, and Gao Ming took out a small piece of broken silver from his arms and handed it to him.
"Little brother, wait a while, you can take a time to go to the official mansion, tell them that you live in this inn with an old eunuch with a broken leg, and let the people from the official mansion send him back to Chang'an, and this silver will be your running expenses!"
As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, the shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened.
"Huh? Old eunuch? ”
