Chapter 23: Disappointment

Anye Fang, He Jiaxiang boudoir.

The girl named Kerr sat quietly by the window, staring blankly at the door, grasping the knot of the belt on the half arm of her chest with one hand, and unconsciously pinching the lower end of the belt with the other hand, and kept turning in circles.

After a long time like this, the hand holding the belt of the clothes suddenly slipped and gently patted on the lower abdomen. He Ke'er sighed slightly, stood up, leaned on the window with both hands, leaned half of her body out of the window, and took a breath again.

My legs are all right, but I can't go out, it's really boring!

After a while, a girl about her age came from the courtyard, and the girl by the window waved at her. The maid named Xiao Yao immediately ran quickly, and it didn't take long for her to stagnate upstairs.

"Xiao Yao, tell me what you've heard?"

"Miss, that Jin Wuwei general Xiao Hou Ye is really powerful!"

He Ke'er said eagerly: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yao looked mysterious, and whispered: "Didn't he say yesterday that he was going to go to the emperor to sue that Chang'an Lieutenant Jia Jilin?" And then today that Jia Jilin was really arrested! ”

"Oh." He Ke'er was a little unimpressed: "Is there anything else?" ”

Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "And now the streets and alleys are talking about one thing, and the rangers in the entire Chang'an City are talking crazy?" ”

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with what I want you to inquire about? ”

"Miss, don't worry, you'll know what's the matter later." Xiao Yao pulled He Ke'er to sit down on the couch: "Those rangers are talking about the Anxi Army's victory in the river. It is said that the Tang Dynasty fought three major battles this year, the Jiannan Army and the Hebei Army were defeated and almost all the troops were wiped out, only the Anxi Army was an unprecedented victory, and it was said that the Anxi Army had solved the problem that the imperial court had not solved for decades.

Those rangers also said that it would not take a month for the Anxi army to arrive in Chang'an, and there were more than 10,000 camels in the booty, and there were 5,000 gold and silver coins alone! They also said that the Anxi army would increase its troops by 20,000 this time, and that it would start recruiting troops now, and that rangers with martial arts and a desire to serve the country would be given priority. The monthly income is several times that of other places, and there is also a share of the land. ”

He Ke'er thought for a while, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said, "You mean that these are all related to him?" ”

The girl named Xiao Yao nodded and said in a low voice: "Miss is right, it's all related to that Marquis Xiao." Those rangers all said that the Anxi army had made a great contribution to the victory over that Marquis Xiao in the river, and said that he had single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of enemies! Moreover, the emperor was also given full responsibility for the increase of the Anxi army this time, so these rangers discussed going to his mansion to pay respects. ”

The girl named Xiao Yao said excitedly, mixed with excitement and worship, and her eyes were almost starry. On the other side, a girl named Ke'er also listened attentively, and her face was full of incredulity.

Defeat tens of thousands of enemies single-handedly! How is it possible, but looking at his performance yesterday, it seems that maybe it is really possible. The Tang Dynasty was a martial dynasty, not only for men, but also for women. Last year, when Gao Xianzhi escorted the captives of Tuqishi, Shiguo, and Jishi into Beijing to offer his victory, tens of thousands of Chang'an people welcomed him, and the two of them went to join in the fun.

"Oh...... Do you think he'll come today? ”

"Well, of course it's coming, I look at his appearance yesterday, I should have taken a fancy to Miss!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" He Ke'er scolded Xiao Yao gently, but there was not much anger on her face, on the contrary, she was more shy and embarrassed.

"How can I talk nonsense." Xiao Yao's eyes widened and looked at He Ke'er, with a strong expression of protest: "You didn't see the way he looked at you yesterday, it was like melting people." He's definitely in love with you, and there's no wrong with that! ”

He Ke'er said in his heart, how could I not see it, when he was held in his arms, his eyes stared at his face from beginning to end. I look unscrupulous, unscrupulous, and rude, but why don't I seem to be angry at all, but just feel shy and embarrassed, and even have a trace of love in my heart?

As soon as he thought of this, He Ke'er's pretty face couldn't help but blush again. It seems that he should like to like himself, but it is also possible that he is delusional...... Oops, what a mess of brains!

Seeing He Ke'er's expression, Xiao Yao continued: "What does Miss think of him? ”

“……”

"I think Marquis Xiao is very good, he is handsome and handsome, not to mention promoted, he is still so young and promising, I think he should only be twenty years old, he has made such a great contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and he is favored by His Majesty. The most rare thing is that he still cares about Miss, I think he and Miss are really a natural pair! ”

"Xiao Yao, what nonsense?" Ke'er was slightly annoyed, but her pretty face turned even redder: "He is the founding marquis, and Daddy is an eight-grade Chang'an Municipal Bureau...... And maybe he's married...... Anyway, don't say it again. ”

Which girl is not pregnant with spring, He Keer was also born in a scholarly family, and when she grew up, she also fantasized about what kind of person her husband would be. Now that she thinks about it, the one called Xiao Qubing is really the type she likes, even better than she imagined, he is too powerful.

That kind of unscrupulous, aggressive, and tender gaze is really frightening and liking, and it confuses people's hearts. Woo...... When will that Xiao Qu's illness come......

Xiao Yao suddenly changed the topic: "Miss, you said that Ah Lang (the Tang Dynasty slave called the male master of the house, Ah Lang) went home so early today, could it be that he was waiting for Marquis Xiao." ”

"Daddy is just waiting for him." Thinking that Daddy came back from the East and West Cities early today, he called himself as soon as he got home, and carefully asked about what happened yesterday. At that time, Ke'er was still wondering if she made this matter clear yesterday, and Daddy didn't pay much attention to it. In connection with what Xiao Yao heard from the outside today, compared to Daddy, he also heard the discussion of the West City Ranger, so he deliberately went home to wait for that Xiao to get sick.

Then why hasn't Xiao Qu come yet!

She thought so in her heart, at this time, there was a noise in the courtyard outside, and she heard several horses barking, and then the two girls looked at each other and smiled, and the maid named Xiao Yao ran out like an excited little sparrow.

Kerr was the only one left in the room, and she got up from the couch and trotted briskly to the window to peek. It was really him who came, and he really followed Daddy into the main hall of the house, and suddenly as if he had a feeling, he suddenly raised his head, looked over to this side, and gave her a hearty smile.

He Ke'er suddenly felt that her face was about to burn, and she hid to the side like a thief, and when she poked her head out of the window again, Xiao Quai's illness had already entered the main hall with Daddy, and she only saw more than a dozen freshly dressed angry horses outside the hall and a fierce Flying Dragon Forbidden Army.

She was slightly annoyed, then opened her mouth and exhaled, slowly calming down the violent heartbeat, came to the dresser and looked in the mirror, tidied up her clothes, she deliberately wore her favorite full-breasted skirt with a half-arm today. Then he sat on the stool and waited expectantly, and his two hands unnaturally grasped the belt of his half-arm, and turned and turned with his two fingers.

Time flies very slowly, and it seems to pass quickly, thinking of his hearty smile and clear and warm eyes just now, Ke'er feels warm in her heart. What are Daddy talking to him about, why haven't you finished talking yet......

I don't know how long it took, just when He Keer's mind was in a mess and her heart was beating so numbly that she couldn't stand it, and when she stood up and was about to go downstairs to have a look, she heard the sound of going upstairs from downstairs, and then quickly sat down again.

Then she was disappointed, and Xiao Yao was the only one who came up, holding a camel-colored cloth like brocade but obviously not brocade. But that's not the point, the point is that Xiao Yao's face is obviously not good, and he didn't come up.

He Ke'er, who realized that something was wrong, said with a puzzled face: "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yao said sadly: "Miss, Marquis Xiao is gone, this is the gift he wants me to bring you." Ah Lang didn't let him come to Miss, saying that he had offended Dr. Jingzhao Yin Wang, and told him not to implicate the He family......"

He Ke'er hurriedly ran to the window to see, that Xiao Quai, together with more than a dozen Flying Dragon Forbidden Army, had already gone away, and Ah Dad and Ah Niang seemed to be talking about something in the courtyard in front of the hall.

She was stunned for a moment, and stood in front of the window in despair, her heart was empty, and she was indescribably sad, as if her beloved toys had been snatched away when she was a child.

On the other side, a young man named Xiao Quzhi walked out of the courtyard of the He family and came to Anye Fangfang Street. Turning around, he picked up the two Flying Dragon Forbidden Soldiers who looked very clever and said, "You two go and help me inquire about all the situation of the He family, especially the situation of Little Lady He, and come back and tell me if you inquire clearly." ”

The two flying dragon forbidden soldiers took the order and left, and Xiao Qu was sick and rode the little white dragon, feeling a little lost in his heart. He really missed the girl named He Ke'er, and really wanted to look at her beautiful face, clear and bright eyes, and shy expression. There is also a faint girlish fragrance on her body, without a trace of fat powder, very clean and smelly.

"Let's go, let's go back to Qinrenfang, those rangers should be in a hurry, I hope they can surprise me."

Linghu Liuyun on the side came to his side and quipped: "I said Brother Xiao Dao, you know, I, Liuyun, am not a troublemaker, I don't know what your temper is." I wouldn't be able to bear it! ”

Xiao Quzhi said: "Then what should I do?" Rush in to grab someone, or beat that He Jian? ”

Liuyun said seriously: "Then you can't just forget it!" Think about it, you are General Jin Wuwei, the marquis of the third grade, he is just a Chang'an City Bureau of the eighth grade, and he dares not to give you face. yes, it's a shame to get out. ”

Xiao Quzhi poked his head over and whispered in his ear: "That's right, he treated me like this, but he was afraid of Wang Ji and Li Linfu." In this way, if you go and help me kill the two of them now, then He Jian will naturally take his daughter to the door to ask for guilt. ”

Liuyun pursed his lips and continued to do nothing: "Cut, it's not that I like that little lady, why don't you go by yourself!" ”
