Xing'er was unprepared, her nose was shaved squarely, she only felt a swish, her pretty face was hot, and she couldn't help but glance at Chen Mo: "It's still a master, it's not a good thing!" As soon as the words came out, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't take it back, so he had to lower his head, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Chen Mo enjoyed this very ambiguous scene, looking at Xing'er's irrepressible expression, he simply stepped forward and grabbed her little hand, and asked casually: "Where is the house that Huo Dong bought, lead the way in front of your head!" ”

Xing'er's hand was held by Chen Mo, only to feel dizzy, sweating in her palms, and shook it gently, but she was caught tighter, and she couldn't help but curse a little injustice, beating a small drum in her heart, and walked forward unconsciously, muttering vigorously in her head: "Hold it, anyway, he is a eunuch, in fact, he is no different from a woman, Xu Xing'er, you are really unproductive, if he is a real man, you must not be ashamed to death......"

Huo Dongbo's house is not far from Li Jiumei's embroidery building, entering from a slightly dilapidated gatehouse, walking on the moss-covered bluestone slab path, and looking up, you can see the back window of the second floor of Li Jiumei's embroidery building.

The yard is not small, but the east and west are long, the north and south are short, a row of houses are all in the shadow, think about it because of the deep back street, as well as the building of the Yuexian Building in front of it to block the sun, it has been barren for a long time, except for the bluestone slab path in the middle, next to it is more than half a person high barren grass, at this moment the tender grass is early green, mixed with the withered yellow, but also contrasting with each other.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard a cooing sound, and followed the sound, only to see that the windows of the westernmost room were torn to the light, and the space between the window lattices was also enlarged, and the sound was made by gray doves standing on the window lattices.

"Mr. Xi. And feed the pigeons? What about Young Master Li? Why didn't you listen to his? ”

Xing'er smiled and greeted the back of a man in a blue and gray robe in front of the pigeon, and Chen Mo guessed that it was Xi Xiaolei. I couldn't help but pay attention to it, and saw that the man who turned around was about thirty. Two thick eyebrows, a high nose and a wide mouth, a full beard, although a little too rough, the two eyes with slightly more whites are very energetic, dripping and turning, giving people a very smart feeling.

"Xing'er is here, this is ......" Xi Xiaolei smiled with a smile on his face, and asked halfway through the conversation. Suddenly surprised: "Could it be Zhaoling Palm Seal Chen Gonggong?" ”

The trick is really bright!

Chen Mo secretly praised, arched his hand with a smile, and said: "Mr. Xi, I have admired the name for a long time, I will meet you for the first time today, and I will be fortunate to meet you!" Mr. generously helped, our family is grateful, if there is anything missing, just tell Xing'er, don't be polite to our family. ”

"Yin Gong is too polite!" Xi Xiaolei listened to Chen Mo admit his identity. A little proud, although he saw that Chen Mo was approachable, he still knelt down and kowtowed, and then got up and said, "Yin Gong is a villain." is like Bole, the villain is grateful, but unfortunately he has no skills. I will only deal with these pigeons, and fifty taels a month is already a sky-high price. Nothing more, nothing more! ”

Listening to Huo Dong, he didn't deduct from this. Really pressed fifty taels to give, Chen Mo was happier than seeing this Xi Xiaolei, and after a few polite words, the topic was brought to the pigeon.

In fact, the use of carrier pigeons to transmit news has been practiced since ancient times. Although this method is very fast, however, due to the large number of birds of prey in the air, the probability of going wrong is more, in the end it is not as safe as a healthy horse, so it has not been fully popularized, only limited to a Yu or a time.

However, the high-tech means of communication in later generations only knew Chen Mo's name, and the reason was a little clear, and if he copied it, it would kill him. Therefore, this so-called "air channel" is just a chicken rib that is better than nothing, and the left is just a few more carrier pigeons for important news, and it is just a makeshift for the time being.

Xi Xiaolei is a talkative, and when it comes to his pigeons, he is even more talkative. At the beginning, Chen Mo was still a little interested, but later saw Xing'er looking at him, so he suddenly realized the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly picked up a conversation, and interjected: "By the way, Mr. Xi, just talk about your baby pigeon, isn't there a Young Master Li?" I heard Xing'er say that this person is erudite and talented, and our family is quite interested...... As you know, when the imperial court is honest in employing people, our family also knows a lot of friends, if that Young Master Li is really talented, our family can find him an errand! ”

This pie is round enough, Chen Mo believes that with his current identity, Xi Xiaolei will definitely not suspect anything else.

Xi Xiaolei was really happy when he heard this, and said in surprise: "That relationship is good, although Brother Li has money in the family, but Yin Gongmou's errand must be extraordinary, he can learn some experience and more experience, which will be beneficial to the future and harmless, the villain will thank Yin Gong for him first." ”

"What's polite, by the way, it's been a long time, what about others?"

Xi Xiaolei looked embarrassed: "It's unfortunate that Yin Gong came, Brother Li went out early in the morning and said that he was going to go shopping, he likes antiques, he is a frequent visitor to the Liuli Factory, and he will be gone for a day, maybe when he will come back!" ”

"That's really unfortunate!" Chen Mo felt a little regretful, but thought in his heart: "There is no good bird in the antiques, and now it seems that Xing'er's worries are not superfluous." ”

"Anyway, it's here, the slave family also has a room here, the master will go to rest first, in case Young Master Li comes back early!" Xing'er was afraid that Chen Mo was leaving, so she hurriedly interjected.

Xi Xiaolei also echoed: "What Miss Xing'er said is that it is rare for Yin Gong to come, and besides, this is still Yin Gong's place, how can there be a reason to leave as soon as you come...... By the way, there are a lot of houses here, do you want to clean up one? In case of......? ”

The fact that he didn't finish his words shows that this man is very intelligent.

These words reached Chen Mo's heart, thinking that it was inconvenient to live in Chen's Mansion all the time, but he really moved his mind for a while, and nodded: "What you said makes sense, Xing'er, this matter is up to you!" ”

Xing'er said in a crisp voice, led the way, and took Chen Mo to the penultimate room in the easternmost head, and it was actually a small hall when she entered, the bare land was spotless, and there were doors on the left and right, leading to both sides respectively.

Chen Mo recalled the scene outside, counted silently, and found that there were eight rooms in this row of houses, and when he woke up, it must have been the opening of the two houses, which formed today's pattern.

The four rooms over there will definitely belong to Xi Xiaolei and that Young Master Li to live, and this side ...... Thinking of this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel distracted, and asked Xing'er: "Which one do you live in?" ”

Xing'er pointed to the east and then to the west and said, "If the master comes, he will live in the room where the slave family lived, all of them have packed up the ready-made bedding, and the slave family has not covered it." When there is time, the slave family will clean up the two rooms on the west side, one will be used as a study for the master, and the other will come to rest when the slave family is fine. ”

"Hmm!" Chen Mo nodded, got up and walked to the east, picking up the curtain to take a look, but saw a road to the south with a brand-new bedding on it. Facing the door is a desk, on which are placed pen, ink, paper, inkstones, etc., and on the shelf next to it, there are a few books.

"Apricot is quite studious!" Chen Mo walked over while praising him, and glanced at a thick line-like tome, with a gilded line of letters on the sheepskin cover, and was surprised: "Isn't this the Bible, where did it come from?" (To be continued......)
