Chapter 9 Small Courtyard
Hou Cong's body did not move at all, and his voice was also very low, but the words he said were a little terrifying: "Your Highness is happy, but our brothers who are around to protect Your Highness have worked hard, and in order to compensate them, the amount of expenses in my treasury has also increased." ”
It's just that Mo Chang knows where he goes, and the people who follow Hou Cong everywhere, and the above words can't beat him. He smiled even a little sweetly, "It's because of the protection of General Xiaohou and the captains that I can live a relaxed life in Datong." Very moved, very moved. ”
Hou Cong was actually gagged by him like this, making Changkong, who was continuously at a disadvantage just now, feel that Mo Chang breathed a sigh of relief for himself. "It's really a thing descending from a thing," he sighed in his heart, and it was even more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Mo Chang. took the initiative to ask him which masters he had learned martial arts with in Jiangnan, how his homework was, and even talked about a few words of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting seriously. So much so that Hou Cong's living room has become a stage for Mo Chang to show his talents - he is really a person who is too well-educated and too humble to everything, and tries to answer all questions in a low-key manner. But as long as the listener is not stupid, he understands that he is well-informed, capable of writing and martial arts, and is also gentle and humble, and courteous and virtuous. The face of Changkong, who would demolish the stage for whoever he saw, was full of sincere admiration, and even Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, and Yuan Youyou were also attracted.
Bai Yi listened to Mo Chang talk about his past in supervising the manufacture of weapons, and he downplayed the skills, only mentioning how his subordinates were attentive and how hard they worked. But the more this is the case, the more people feel that Mo Chang is the center of everything, and he doesn't love to take credit, he doesn't take himself seriously, but cares about the people below. Thinking of his situation in prison, it gave him a poignant brilliance.
Hou Cong glanced at the expression of the white clothes and decided that she, like several other people, couldn't even sweep her afterglow. This is something that has never happened since birth. He coughed dryly twice and asked the referee how much time had passed since the "Bondage" challenge began. Changkong lazily shouted: "Qingsong-", another small guy waiting outside rushed over, saying that Qingsong was busy, and it was just past noon, "Do you want to put food?" ”
"What's in the kitchen? I'm looking forward to it! Changkong rubbed his hands together and stood up.
"Maybe you talk less, and you'll be less hungry." Hou Cong looked at him with disdain.
After all, Changkong has been trained by him, and he obediently agreed: "Yes!" Then he stretched the biggest laziness in his life and said: "It's too tiring to be a referee!" Shoulder pain! Back pain! My arm hurts! Sore throat! I went to evacuate the evacuated muscles. ”
Without waiting for Hou Cong to say anything, Yuan proposed to go together, and the two of them immediately hooked their shoulders and carried them together. Bai Yi found an opportunity and said something full of stupidity: "Are you going to serve food?" ”
Everyone looked at the white clothes. Bai Yi bowed his head. She is really envious of Mo Chang and her brother, who can get along with others. She vaguely remembers that she was also a naughty person before she was 8 years old, and she was half a child king, and all day long, her brothers and sisters from her family, her family and her neighborhoods played together.
But it all went by too long.
It turns out that everything will be rusty.
Hou Cong answered, "Yes, it's to serve the food." ”
This sentence, the tone is plain, but it resolves the embarrassment of Bai Yi.
Changkong and Yuan ran away from the dog, and they didn't care at all. Yuan was still trotting in the yard again, sprinkling half a circle of joy. He's actually a half-grown kid too. has been following Hou Cong on errands for many years, and has been suppressed a lot. encountered this fun-loving and noisy sky, and it was like a key to unlock his childish side.
When the two of them left the courtyard, Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, and even Mo Chang all let go of their envious eyes and followed. Then, the three of them looked at each other tacitly: the air pressure in the room was too low - Hou Cong and Bai Yi, like two statues, sat there, making people want to kowtow to them or cover them with a cloth.
"I really want to serve food together!" In the hearts of the three people, this sentence sounded at the same time.
Outside the house, butterflies fly, camellia flowers are fragrant, and the spring light is quiet. A few of the people who stayed here sat quietly for a while. The sunlight of this solar term is cool and dry, as if it has extended time, slowly, slowly, and no longer flows. But one day, these scenes, these people, these moods, will turn into the color of the dead leaves in the pile of old papers, and sink into a corner that no one is looking for.
Qingsong came back, with a few capable little guys, carrying the table and holding the food box. At this time, Changkong was silent and serious, because he had to take care of his sister's daily life and diet himself. Hou Cong looked at this scene in surprise: Changkong was like a big housekeeper, and when he lost his unruliness and chic, he stood on the left side in front of the white clothes, took the table and set it up, uncovered the food box and put it away after inspection, put the tea, dishes, chopsticks and pillows, and turned out a big hand towel to cover the skirt for the white clothes. Bai Yi still has that faint expression, everything is taken for granted.
Hou Cong endured it for a long time, and when he saw the big handkerchief appear and spread it on the legs of the white clothes, he finally blurted out: "Yuwen Changkong, you have to do a full set of plays?" As for it? ”
"Drama? I don't take care of my sister, do you take care of it? Changkong didn't have much of a bickering mood at the moment, because although he didn't even notice it, but just now, he had already made friends with Dugu Zheng and a few people, and now he didn't care about Hou Cong's delay, what he was looking forward to was to hurry up and eat and chat with his new friends.
Sure enough, the five referees shared a large table, with wine, food and meat, eating, drinking and chatting, which was very lively, and fundamentally forgot the protagonists of the "binding and killing" challenge: Hou Cong and Baiyi. The two idols were still sitting side by side, eating their meals on their desks, silently. Bai Yi thought about it, are the questions that should be asked at this time?
She glanced at Hou Cong, "What should we talk about to such a person?" ”
Hou Cong also glanced at her, "In the end, Baiyi is a guest, although I hate her, but should there be a way of hospitality?" ”
The first person to break the atmosphere of "fairy eating" is still Changkong. - The food in the Hou Mansion was so delicious that he couldn't control it, he ate too quickly, and he was full quickly. He stood up and wiped his mouth, bathed his hands in the water basin that Qingsong had brought over, and came over with a drop of water, "Sister, do you eat well?" Where do you need my brother to figure it out for you? That soup is good, take an extra sip. ”
Bai Yi shook his head and nodded again. Completely obey the meaning of the sky. Hou Cong thought of his puppet, Xiao Baiyi, and felt a burst of indignation.
Changkong was not finished, so he came over again, leaned on one side of the ear of the white clothes, and whispered: "Sister, I'm not idle, I've been thinking seriously just now, helping you sum up some experience, you listen carefully - Hou Cong is a person who is dead and arrogant, so the way to deal with him has not changed since ancient times, he is afraid of agitation, I will also help you, what about you, also think of a way by yourself, let's try to provoke him as soon as possible, he will lose his proportion, you will win." Let's make a quick decision, hehe, I still want to end the referee matter quickly, so I can go out with Dugu Zheng and a few of them. ”
Hou Cong really couldn't hear what Changkong was saying, he couldn't bear it at all, and as soon as Changkong's head left Baiyi's ears, he began to complain: "Hehe, Yuwen Changkong, I can be regarded as a teacher, I have never seen someone who whispers and is verbose for so long." Those who speak are not tired, but those who listen are tired. ”
"The eldest prince," Changkong pointed to Mai Mang, "It's not that your subordinates said you, it's all because you haven't seen the world!" After finishing speaking, Changkong Piaoyu returned to his seat, watched his chopsticks being taken away, and let Dugu feed himself and ate two mouthfuls of duck meat.
Hou Cong didn't understand why there was a human being like Yuwen Changkong in this world! However, soon, a scene that made him even more angry appeared: Mo Chang, also eaten, put down his chopsticks in a proper manner, expressed his gratitude to the little guys, and after wiping his mouth with his hands, he actually came over, lay on the ears of the white clothes and began to whisper!
Bai Yi heard Mo Chang say softly: "I see that the girl has been sitting for a long time, and I am really distressed." White, if you are tired, you can go out for a walk, and evacuate the evacuated muscles, or change clothes or don't want to go out, do you want to let the people carry in for a short collapse, and you lie down slightly? What kind of bondage and killing, after all, is a game. Take care of yourself. Obedient. ”
Mo Chang said, Hou Cong counted "1-2-3-" in his heart to time, and when Mo Chang finished speaking, Hou Cong decided that the length of his whispering exceeded the sky. Who knew that Bai Yi actually smiled at him, and he felt like eating this set.
From the first acquaintance to the present, Bai Yi has never smiled at Hou Cong. From the first acquaintance to now, Bai Yi has smiled at Mo Chang twice! Hou Cong definitely couldn't accept that he was inferior to Mo Chang - but what he didn't expect was that Mo Chang had just returned to his seat and sat down, and his three "hairs" also stood up together, and lined up, standing next to the white clothes, among them, the tall, silent face, dark gray eyes, standing in the first place, he had already bent down, his lips close to the ears of the white clothes!
