Chapter 12: Seven Years

After Old Man Xiao filled half a roast chicken and two bowls of corn rib soup into his stomach, ate to his satisfaction and wiped his mouth slowly, he looked up and saw Huan Xiang and his wife looking at him with blank eyes.

"What's wrong? Why don't you two eat if you're hungry? Don't waste such a delicious dish, stare at me and don't care if you're full! As he spoke, he patted his belly and turned around to leave.

"Hey, Senior Xiao, you don't seem to have said how you thought about it?" Huan Xiang had no choice but to hurriedly say.

"Oh, what kind of agreement do you mean? Well, the old man is sleepy and wants to go to sleep first, how can he have a good mind without a good spirit, how can he think about it clearly? Let's talk about this later. After speaking, regardless of the expressions of Huan Xiang and the others, he walked away.

Day 2...... Ditto......

Day 3......

Day 4......

……

So ten days passed, and when Prime Minister Huan wanted to mention this matter several times but was gagged, the prime minister's wife finally couldn't sit still.

On this day, when Old Man Xiao made a "routine teasing" to Yao'er, the Prime Minister's wife finally asked bluntly: "Senior, if you don't want to take Yao'er as an apprentice, please speak up, then we are also happy, no longer have to worry about Yao'er, suffer from lovesickness." If you think about it, please give me and me an answer as soon as possible. After speaking, the prime minister's wife picked up Yao'er and turned to leave, but she didn't see Old Man Xiao's colorful facial expressions at this time.

"Yo, this girl is quite temperamental, hehe, I like it, old man. Then I won't hang your appetite, anyway, I will earn back some money after ten days of eating and drinking for nothing! The old man finished thinking and smiled treacherously.

This night, the Prime Minister's Mansion still showed great tolerance to this "miracle doctor" who was not in tune with eating and drinking, and it was still a table of delicacies, serving delicious food and drink, of course, except for the Prime Minister's wife's cold face throughout the whole process, everything else was very harmonious.

When Old Man Xiao finally shamelessly drank and ate again, under the strong gaze of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the plot of the previous nine days finally did not repeat itself. This time, he consciously straightened his body, pretending that nothing had happened a few days ago, and said very calmly: "Oh, I heard Xiangye say a few days ago that I want to have an agreement with the old man, I thought about it carefully, and I think this is also a way to get the best of both worlds." Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, I think this is a good idea, so the old man, I will come to take the county lord to practice when he reaches the age of seven. ”

Everyone was silent, and they seemed very calm, which made the old man very frustrated and unhappy pouting and strode away. But......

Here's the truth:

Huan Ziyu: "I heard you right, this old guy is finally willing to leave?" And took the initiative to agree? It's as simple as that? There was no painstaking persuasion, no verbal war, and it was so simple to agree? ”

Mrs. Prime Minister: "You stinky old man, I still think that if you play stupid to me today, I will tear your face and question you tomorrow!" It's okay now, I'm looking for something if it's okay, who is this princess looking for!! ”

The maids: "Is this difficult old man finally leaving?" Great, I've never seen such an unkind and difficult guest, but you really treat our Prime Minister's Mansion as your own home?! ”

The unobtrusive hostess and the male host led a large family of guards and maids in the Prime Minister's Mansion and said: This is nothing, the fine family style of the Prime Minister's Mansion is - to be calm in case of trouble, to be calm even if your heart is anxious to smoke, cold shivering, you have to be light-hearted, everyone please adapt as soon as possible. What the? You say it's not comfortable? Then please force yourself to adapt! Otherwise, how do you think our prime minister's mansion has been yin from top to bottom? Otherwise, where do you think our prime minister's mansion came from? Otherwise, why do you think our house is the leader in the industry, from the lady to the maid?

On the second day, Old Man Xiao finally had the first hint of consciousness in a few days that he was going to leave.

Thereupon...... But...... Then, that's it: Yao'er heard that her eyes were rolling to the bone, and her face, which had not been smiling for many times since she woke up, actually bloomed with a big smile, and her little hand slapped it very neatly, and it was quite loud. Huan Xiang smiled very gently, and said words that were very contrary to his will, but he kept slandering in his heart why this old man was still so inked at this time. The prime minister's wife directly and enthusiastically waved the silk handkerchief in her hand and smiled: "Oh, old-timer, you can come back to see our Jing'er when you have time." But since you are in a hurry to leave, we will not keep you, and the next time you come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, we will definitely entertain you! ”

Everyone arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and out of tune, Old Man Xiao suddenly stopped and patted his head, pulled it from his clothes for a long time, took out something and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot a very important thing." Xiangye, this is a gift for my little apprentice. It's called Warm Jade Flute, which is suitable for my apprentice's extremely cold physique, and wearing it on her body can nourish her body, which is more conducive to her learning martial arts in the future. Alright, old man, I'm leaving. After speaking, he waved his hand and strode out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiang Ye took over that Xiao, the whole body was green, like a whole piece of warm jade carving, giving people a sense of naturalness, and the whole body was warm when he started, and it seemed that he was instantly energetic. Looking at that person again, he had already walked far away, and couldn't help but sigh: "This Xiao senior is really different from the rumors, like a cynical person on the outside, but in fact he is sincere and kind to others......"

In this way, everything that happened before the Prime Minister's Mansion seemed to have calmed down with Xiao Ji's departure, but everyone knew that such pain was probably unforgettable......

More than six years have passed in the blink of an eye, Jiuyao has been trying to be a good child, trying to grow up normally like a normal child, and not being noticed by others.

The emperor and the queen mother rushed to visit the prime minister after hearing that she was cured, and the queen mother finally felt at ease when she saw that her daughter no longer washed her face with tears all day long, and kept saying that Jiuyao was a little lucky star, and she was able to turn the crisis into safety by the favor of God. Presumably after all these twists and turns, in the heart of an old man who is very devout in eating fasting and reciting Buddha, Jiuyao also faintly has a sense of being blessed by the gods, and he loves it more and more.

However, more than nine months ago, Jiuyao had already begun to toddle, and as for speaking, he called "Daddy and Mother" when he was more than five months old, and the happy Xiangye almost jumped three feet high.

"Today is another good day with clear weather and beautiful wind!" Jiu Yao routinely sighed as soon as he got up.

"Jing'er, are you awake? Come, my mother will help you get dressed, and then let's go out to eat something delicious! "When the prime minister's wife woke up in the morning, she saw that her baby daughter was really refreshed.

"Mother, mother, mother, ......" Seeing this, Jiuyao hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug him.

In fact, when I heard the princess mother call her like this, she had to be very uncomfortable, but later I heard that this was a nickname, and when her father gave her the name Jiuyao, she almost couldn't help but want to hug Huan on a blind date and then shouted, "Dad, you are so powerful!" ”

After breakfast, Yao'er discussed with the princess: "Mother, mother, can I go out of the house to play?" ”

The prime minister's wife looked at Yao'er and said helplessly: "Jing'er, why did you think of leaving the house?" I'm afraid it won't work today, I asked Mrs. An Lehou to go to enjoy the flowers with me today, you have to stay in the house honestly. ”

"Mother, Jing'er, please. You just let me go, you can call a few more guards to follow me, just if you are going to the Hou Mansion, take me out together, and then when I finish playing, I will go to the Hou Mansion to find you, and we will come back together. Mother, don't worry, I'll be back soon, I will definitely not be playful, besides, isn't there still Sister Chuyun and Sister Chuya following me, it will be fine? Yao'er made a killer move, lying on the knee of the prime minister's wife and coquettish.

"That'...... Then the mother will give you an hour's time, and when the time comes, you must go to the Hou Mansion to find me. Also, don't run around, don't be naughty! The Prime Minister's wife gave the order.

"Yes, obedience guaranteed! Mother, Jing'er knew that mother's mother was the best, hehe...... "This time, Jiuyao directly happily grabbed the neck of the prime minister's wife.

Mrs. Prime Minister's little nose was a little bit remote, and she was very helpless: "You, you're really a ghost, you're just over six years old, and your mouth is so sweet, I can't tell you a set of reasons, and I don't know where you got your smartness......"
