Miss Deng returned home before the end of the day, because in less than an hour her father would come home from the silk house, and her mother would come home from the card friends, and then the family would start to eat dinner. As soon as she sat down in the boudoir, before she could change into her men's clothes, her brother ran in as if he had been chased by a dog, and threw himself into her arms. "Sister, sister, you're finally back. You won't take me out to play today, and the next time you don't take me, I'll tell Daddy about you sneaking out. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll take you with me next time. However, you have to keep it a secret for your sister, or I won't be able to go out. Wen Zhao, hurry up and see what delicious food my sister has brought you. Miss Deng coaxed her younger brother with a smile on her face, it seems that she had a lot of fun outside today.

"Yikes! It's the osmanthus cake of Wang Kee shop! I like to eat it the most. I knew my sister was the best for me. "Deng Wenzhao didn't wash his hands, he went to catch it directly, but his sister opened it at once." I'm not ashamed at all, I want to eat without washing my hands, how does my sister usually teach you? was seen by my mother, and I will definitely train you again. ”

Deng Wenzhao quickly got up from his sister's arms and went to wash his hands in the copper basin next to him. The maid Huan'er was holding a handkerchief next to her, and she was also wearing a man's dress. Miss Deng watched her younger brother gobbling up osmanthus cakes, and hurriedly handed over a glass of water, "Eat slowly, and no one will rob you, be careful of choking." ”

Deng Wenzhao didn't raise his head, and replied twice with a "woo" to indicate that he knew.

"Wen Zhao, there's nothing going on at home today, right? Did Daddy and Auntie come back early? ”

"No, A-Niang hasn't come back yet, and Daddy hasn't come back either." said and remembered an incident in the afternoon, "There is a family named Xiao Xu who said that you called him over, and he was almost bitten by Xiao Hei." ”

Miss Deng was stunned when she heard this, and she was also confused. Forget it, maybe he has something to do with himself. "Oh, sister knows. Eat less osmanthus cake, otherwise you won't have an empty stomach after dinner, and A-Niang will say you when she sees that you don't eat well. ”

"Oh, I see." It seems that he didn't take it seriously, and continued to eat osmanthus cake. Miss Deng raised her eyebrows, she wanted to get angry, and seemed to know that it must be useless, so she shook her head and went to change her clothes, and then gossiped with her brother casually, thinking that she would go to Xu Anping after dinner.

After more than half an hour, she heard Huan'er remind herself: "Miss, it's time to go to the old lady's place for dinner." So, he took his younger brother out of his courtyard and walked towards his parents. Half an hour later, she walked to the place where she was eating and sat down, and saw her mother with a smile on her face, she must have won a lot of money on the card field. Later, my father also came over and ordered the meal to be served. In between serving, my mother asked with a smile: "Ke'er, I asked you to learn embroidery some time ago, how did you learn?" ”

Deng Xiaoke chuckled in his heart, he had forgotten about this matter a long time ago, thinking that even if he held a sword, it was more comfortable than holding a needle, so he smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm studying these days." Mama also praised me for my skillful hands, and when I learned it, I would embroider a pillow for you and my father to play in the water. ”

Father Deng's face flushed, and he pretended to be thinking about his own affairs and remained silent. Mother Deng was also helpless about her daughter's arrogant temperament, and pointed at her daughter's smooth forehead angrily and reprimanded: "Stinky girl, it's getting more and more disagreeable, and now you're starting to laugh at your father and aunt." After a while, I'll ask Mama if you're being sloppy. ”

Deng Xiaoke was apprehensive, but he still had a hard mouth, "Auntie, if you don't believe it, forget it." "I made up my mind that tomorrow I would go and get two taels of silver to plug my grandmother's mouth, and then go to the street to buy some embroidery needles to prepare.

After eating, Deng Xiaoke went to find Xu Anping, and under the envious and jealous eyes of others, he asked him what he was looking for. Thinking that he would have to take his younger brother with him when he went out tomorrow, it was really inconvenient for him to be alone, so he asked Xu Anping to wait at the side door of Deng's house tomorrow. She didn't know that Xu Anping was also slandering in her heart: "I really didn't see it, this chick is about the same height as herself, and she definitely stands out among women." The waist is thin and the legs are long, and I don't know which 'livestock' will be cheaper in the future. Oh yes, it seems that no man in this day and age likes a woman who is too tall. When I thought about it like this, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, as if Miss Deng didn't get appreciated and what it had to do with her. Xu Anping listened to the eldest lady's instructions and did not refuse, so he agreed.

After Miss Deng left, the eyes of the surrounding family members and workers looked at Xu Anping, from the original overlook with arrogance to the current fear with a little flattery. Xu Anping also saw the horror after losing his luck from the eyes of Deng Wu and Deng Liu, who had the deepest grudge against him, and couldn't help but feel refreshed: "Let you jump again!" Scared to death you bastards. Of course, there was still a thought in his heart: he finally had the opportunity to get close to the core figure of the Deng family.

The next morning, Xu Anping waited at the side door in advance. After a while, he saw Miss Deng and the maid Huan'er dressed as scholars, pulling the little young master and leading the big black dog to walk over gently and secretly. Looking at Miss Deng's dress, she is really a "good son" in the turbid world with a face like a crown of jade, a beautiful posture, and a heroic posture.

"You must keep it secret when we go out today, and don't chew your tongue with others, otherwise I will make you look good." Miss Deng pretended to be vicious and said threatening words, but Xu Anping felt unspeakably playful. Of course, he still didn't dare to say anything.

"You have to remember, from today onwards, I will call you 'Deng Jiu'. Well, Xiao Hei is 'Deng Ba'. When you go out, you have to keep an eye on it and don't let it run around. Did you hear that? Xu Anping complained in his heart, this chick actually let herself be called a brother and sister with a dog, and her nerves are really big. However, he still only agreed, and took the delicate dog leash she handed over. Looking down, the big black dog was not the same ferocious appearance as yesterday afternoon, but grinning, sticking out its tongue, and wagging its tail, making people feel like he was laughing. "What the hell! is a good wolf dog, and he was raised to be Erha. ”

Walking on the street, Deng Xiaoke became a bird out of the cage, which also depends on the fact that it has to be bought, plus the little young master's shouting, it is so lively. After a while, Xu Anping hung a lot of objects on his body: snacks, toys, sugar figures, etc., there were dozens of things. Of course, the embroidery needle that Miss Deng said she wanted to buy yesterday has long been forgotten outside the clouds. Walking and walking, Xu Anping felt as if there was one less person, "What about that little girl?" Turning his face, Huan'er was following behind him and puffing out his cheeks to eat, muttering and counting the number of snacks in the lotus leaf bag while eating, and suddenly found that there seemed to be one missing, and when he saw Xiao Hei chewing something in his mouth, he went over and kicked two feet with embroidered shoes. Xiao Hei raised his head and looked at Huan'er innocently with dog eyes, and didn't understand why he was kicked, so he continued to look down and sniff on the road.

Xu Anping smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was also helpless, it was really a strange pair of master and servant.

At this time, there was a sudden noise in front of him, and a group of people were around. "I see where you adulterer are fleeing, I have to pull you to see the official today." "Brother, misunderstanding! I came from a study tour in other places, and when I first arrived in your place, I didn't know your wife! "Woo woo...... Xianggong, stop fighting! He's a reader, and if you hit him, you'll get in trouble. I just like this official, I don't have a skin-to-skin kiss! "You adulterers! I have to sue the county magistrate today! ”

Deng Xiaoke saw a group of people in front of him and listened to it in the back. She usually reveres scholars the most, and she couldn't stand this situation at all, and scolded in a low voice, "Sven scum!" It's a shame to be a reader. Then he handed his brother over to Huan'er, and he was about to fight through the crowd.

Xu Anping had already taken a look from the gap in the crowd, the woman was slightly beautiful but her face was debauched, with tears in her eyes but no sadness; The man yelling for the adulterer was rugged and sly, with a tattoo on his waist leaking out of the conflict. Look at the young scholar who was constantly pushed, dignified and clumsy, anxious and helpless, at a glance, he knew that it was the first time to study and lack social experience, and he was tempted to fall into the "fairy jump". Xu Anping saw Deng Xiaoke squeezing to the front of the crowd, and was about to angrily scold the scholar, for fear that she would cause a big mess, so he quickly dragged Xiao Hei to the front and kicked it hard in the ass.

Xiao Hei whimpered, and "Wangwang" screamed, his voice was very majestic, and he suppressed the scolding at once.

The onlookers were startled and saw a big dog barking, thinking that it was a dog that deliberately let the dog bite people, and quickly dispersed. Even the three arguing people stopped. Xu Anping led the dog and approached Deng Xiaoke, pretending not to know her. Seeing that there was no danger, everyone continued to watch, just looking at Xu An's blank expression.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Xu Anping whispered to Deng Xiaoke: "Miss, my father taught me some face-to-face techniques, and when I saw that fierce-faced man, he was a wicked person, and the scholar must have been wronged." Look at the woman, though she was disheveled and weeping loudly, where was the meaning of sadness. ”

Deng Xiaoke already had a good impression of readers, but he was angry because he had never seen this kind of trick. Hearing Xu Anping say this, he hesitated after taking a closer look.

Xu Anping continued: "If the eldest lady doesn't believe it, she can say that she was deceived by them a few days ago. Give it a try and you'll know if it's true or not. ”

Deng Xiaoke made up his mind and shouted angrily: "The two of you deceived me so badly last time, and I paid you fifty taels of silver." This time, he used such a deception to deceive others, and I don't go to the county magistrate today to seek justice for this brother and himself. ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. The couple had red faces and red ears, looking at the scholar who was watching and talking, with a delicate face and a long body, holding a folding fan and pointing at themselves angrily, they seemed to be really familiar, and they immediately scolded the bad luck. But he was still going to continue to pretend not to know and complete this business, but he didn't expect a laughing voice to come from the side, "Yue Laosan, put away your vulgar immortal jump, shame on you." If you are really short of money to spend, lend your wife to the master, and I can reward you with a few big bucks. After saying that, there was another burst of laughter around him.

Yue Laosan couldn't pretend to be able to do anything, and he didn't say cruel words, so he turned his head and left. After everyone dispersed, the young scholar came over to thank him, and bowed to Deng Xiaoke with both hands: "Xiaosheng is polite!" Thank you for the help of this virtuous brother, otherwise it would be difficult to get out today. In Xialu Guangzhong, Anlu Mansion Xiucai, who lives in Sixian Fang. Is it convenient for the virtuous brother to tell the name? ”

Deng Xiaoke's face tightened, he was really afraid of causing some trouble, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and bowed back: "The younger brother's surname is Xu, and he has not yet achieved fame, so he doesn't dare to insult the virtuous brother." Today coincides with his meeting, and I dare not be a good brother to thank you. Xu Anping lowered his head next to him and didn't make a sound, but he felt that this scholar was also sluggish, and he didn't find that there was a woman opposite.

Lu Guangzhong looked at the scholar opposite who was quite young and had not achieved fame, so he changed his name casually, "I wonder if Brother Xu Xian is free?" Brother Fool wants to prepare a little light wine at the restaurant in front of him to express his gratitude. ”

Deng Xiaoke was even more flustered in his heart, and refused repeatedly, "Brother Xian is polite!" When the road is uneven, it is reasonable to speak up. There are still important things in the foolish brother's family, and he can't accompany the virtuous brother to drink, no wonder! "Because of nervousness, my voice is a little shrivelled." Brother Xian stays, don't leave it here, there will be a period later. Without waiting for the other party to react, he arched his hand and left, and patted his chest fearfully after turning around.

Yue Laosan walked in the alley, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the silver that he wanted to get was flying like this, and he really couldn't swallow this breath. He stopped suddenly, and hurried back the way he came, ignoring the woman's shouts, leaving only one sentence, "Mother! The later scholar was a female and had no Adam's apple at all. "When I got to the place just now, there were no people.

Deng Xiaoke walked on the way home, chatting excitedly with Huan'er about the scholar just now, "That scholar just now was really stupid, and he didn't even find out that I was a woman." "Miss, you were so good just now! It's really like a beautiful son. "However, Xiucai really has a temperament, and a reader is a reader." "Miss, do you want to get married? What about the ring? "What are you talking nonsense!" Deng Xiaoke's face turned red and he looked around secretly.

Xu Anping's heart suddenly felt a little sour.
