Chapter 12 Illuminating the Night

This is the first time in Guan Xiaoduo's life that she has encountered a human being so proficient in housework, and a feeling of admiration arises spontaneously.

Guan Xiaoduo suddenly felt that he was definitely not a young man. I have never heard of a young master from a rich family who has such a hobby.

When he turned around, he saw that there were still a few wooden planks standing next to the wall, and it seemed that he should have been repairing the floor slab just now, no wonder he was still carrying a hammer in his hand. It's really-

How virtuous!

She really couldn't think of any other words to describe the tall man in front of her.

Wait, a young man with so much gold with him, desperate to find a place to stay, and he won't say what he wants to doβ€”if he is not a fugitive, he must have run out because he was in trouble at home!

Thinking of this, Guan Xiaoduo couldn't help but squint at him: You have a secret.

Tie Han was stunned, and suddenly said, "No, I'm not a wanted criminal and I haven't carried a lawsuit, let alone escaped from home!" ”

Guan Xiaoduo looked innocent: "I didn't say anything!" ”

Tie Han smiled bitterly and sighed: "I'm not a bad person, really." ”

Guan Xiaoduo's flat mouth: This is completely unconvincing, brother.

"Okay."

Tie Han had to explain helplessly: "I used to work for a powerful family and followed the Lord for ten years. The hundred taels of gold are a gift from the Lord to me, that I may settle down in my house. ”

- A retired senior scholar? Phew, who would believe such an outrageous thing!

Tie Han saw that she still didn't believe it, and he didn't want to explain more: "If you don't believe it, forget it." ”

The two were talking, Guan Xiaoduo suddenly heard a neighing of horses from the backyard, and immediately alerted: "What sound?!" ”

There are no stables or caravans in the area. Behind the main house where the pharmacy is open is the storeroom, and beyond that is the courtyard. Uncle Zhao planted a courtyard full of flowers and plants, which he usually regarded as treasures. The family left in such a hurry, it is estimated that it is too late to take it away.

Guan Xiaoduo wondered in her heart, left Tie Han and walked to the backyard. As soon as I pushed open the wooden door in the backyard, my eyes suddenly lit up, and it was a snow-white horse!

It was eight feet tall, with a slightly curved neck, a strong body, and sharp muscles on its chest. Horses' hooves the size of bowls struck the brick floor with a crisp and powerful sound; The snow-blue nose and the oily fur of the whole body like brocade shine and shine in the sun, emitting a bright and warm halo.

There was a long hiss, like the sound of a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring, but the courtyard seemed cramped, not enough for it to run happily, as if a white dragon was entrenched in the shallows, and it was very aggrieved.

I've never seen such a beautiful brute.

I've never seen such a sleek and graceful animal.

I've never seen such exaggerated long legs, flowing snow-white long mane, and glittering tall white and strong!

As soon as it raised its legs, it kicked over Uncle Zhao's favorite pot of orchids. On the side are two carefully trimmed bonsai that have long been trampled on, and the most precious gentleman's orchid has been submerged in a pile of horse manure, and the initiator is now stretching his neck to eat the rose leaves on the wallβ€”

If Uncle Zhao saw it, he would definitely faint with anger, absolutely. But nowβ€”whatever! Who cares?!

She suddenly felt that perhaps the ultimate meaning of the existence of these flowers and plants was to be eaten by such beautiful creatures?

Tie Han noticed her shocked expression, and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, I haven't found a more suitable place to place it for the time being, then, is that the flower you planted?" I'll pay you as much as I want. ”

"It's okay! Let it eat! It deserves! It was an honor for the pot of flowers to be eaten by it! Guan Xiaoduo suddenly interrupted him and said loudly: "I'll go back and settle the money matter." ”

Tie Han: "......"

"Can I touch it?"

"Yes, yes."

Tie Han stepped forward with a stiff expression, reached out and took the reins, and led the white horse to her. The horse meekly lowered his head in front of him, kept turning his ears alertly, and stared at Guan Xiaoduo with big black eyes and kept looking up and down.

- Can a horse be swollen and spicy, and it looks good!

Guan Xiaoduo admired from the bottom of her heart, carefully stretched out her hand to touch the horse's cheek, and then touched her neck, feeling that she was about to cry out with happiness, and muttered to herself:

"Ah, I'm dead, I'm dead! …… If you were a human being, I would want to marry you! How can a horse be so handsome! It's so unreasonable! ”

Tie Han didn't understand her brain circuit very well, and stood silently on the side.

Guan Xiaoduo muttered and smoothed her hair, and the horse couldn't understand what she was talking about, so he sniffed at her with his nose curiously.

Before that, Guan Xiaoduo's impression of horses was: in the stinky stable, dirty, smelly and ugly, there are flies everywhere without bathing for 10,000 years, and they pull a poop when they don't agree with each other, and their brains are only enough to listen to the command to pull the cart.

Obviously, this kind of immortal in front of you is not a creature at all, right?!

Tie Han didn't know why she had so many things to say to Ma, so she asked with a black line on her face: "You,...... Do you want to ride it? ”

Guan Xiaoduo shook her head, aggrieved: "I won't." ”

"I can teach you."

Guan Xiaoduo was overjoyed: "Okay, good!" So, can I come and see it every day? It's okay not to be paid. ”

Tie Han smiled and nodded.

Guan Xiaoduo immediately realized that she seemed to have said something superfluous and stupid.

Tie Han immediately smiled and said, "It's irrelevant, I'll still pay the salary." It's just that taking care of it is a hassle, would you like to help? ”

Seismic nodding.

The smile on Tie Han's face was embarrassed but polite: "You...... It's really interesting. ”

Guan Xiaoduo didn't care what he thought, just hugged the horse's neck and asked excitedly, "Does such a beautiful horse have a name?" What is it called? ”

"Shine the night white."

"Not bad! Tang King Li Longji's beloved horse, this name is really worthy of it! ”

Tie Han was surprised: "Do you know the allusion to this name? ”

Guan Xiaoduo nodded: "I've seen it in the book." In that year, the Western Regions paid tribute to Li Longji, the king of the Tang Dynasty, two sweat-and-blood horses, one with spots called Yuhua Cong, and the other with a solid color was Zhaoye Bai. ”

"I didn't expect you to be quite knowledgeable."

"Ahem, I'm actually impressed because there are more illustrations in that book." Guan Xiaoduo smiled embarrassedly: "I always thought that the horses in the paintings were fake, how could there be such good-looking horses?" Now that I see it, the ancients did not deceive me, and Han Gancheng did not deceive me! ”

"The imperial horse given by the emperor is naturally the best."

Guan Xiaoduo was shocked when she heard this: "It turned out to be a royal horse?" Then your master must be a very big official, right? ”

Tie Han smiled, noncommittal.

"It turns out that you are not a scholar, but actually a horse manager!" Guan Xiaoduo continued to indulge in brushing the horse's mane, and muttered: "It turns out that the Jade Emperor didn't deceive people, Bi Ma Wen is really a good job......"

Tie Han felt a little unable to keep up with her train of thought.

Brightly trained, not only smart, but also very docile, he became a sensational BMW horse when he first emerged. Whether it is a connoisseur or an ordinary passerby, you will know at first sight that it is not a vulgar thing. It's just that he's seen a lot of licking dogs who love horses and are obsessed, but he's never seen anything like her.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Tie Han cut two large plates full of meat slices and vegetables, and also made his own dipping sauce; Guan Xiaoduo moved out the small red clay oven in her treasure chest, and opened a small jar of Lao Bai Gan that Uncle Zhao secretly hid in the cellar, and the two of them ate barbecue in the backyard around the stove.

"Tsk, it's delicious! Hiss~ha~"

Guan Xiaoduo's mouth was full, and he drained a full glass of wine, then stuck out his tongue and said in disappointment: "It smells so fragrant, but it is so bitter and spicy when you drink it!" It's hard to drink! Bai Juyi lied to me! ”

Tie Han smiled: "What does this matter matter to Bai Juyi?" ”

Guan Xiaoduo knocked on the small stove on the table: "Have you noticed?" The inner chamber of this oven is made of red mud, which not only keeps warm but also insulates heat, which is exactly the kind of 'green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove'! ”

Tie Han nodded: "It's really good." It's just that the old man drank rice wine back then, which was soft and sweet, and you are white wine, and spirits are always bitter. ”

"I see." Guan Xiaoduo said as she took a piece of barbecue meat from the iron net, blew it casually twice and stuffed it all into her mouth, but it was so hot that she was snorting.

Tie Han laughed as he poured a glass of water and handed it to her.

Teruma Shiro was leisurely munching on the last orchid in the flower garden a foot away from the two of them, flicking his tail from time to time.

Guan Xiaoduo took a sip of wine and a mouthful of meat, and ate it happily, and even Tie Han couldn't help laughing when he saw it: "It's rare to see a girl who loves meat as much as you." ”

Guan Xiaoduo said: "Because when I was a child, I loved to fight with boys. ”

Tie Han was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what causal connection could be between them.

Guan Xiaoduo explained proudly: "I was very skinny when I was a child, and the boys in the town who were about the same age as me basically took my fists, and I never lost a fight!" ”

"So what?"

Guan Xiaoduo smiled: "When those little boys are beaten, they will find their parents to support them, or they will find my mother to complain." My mother was perfunctory in front of me, and then she would take me out to buy chicken thighs to eat. She said: Eat more meat, and you can have strength in fighting. That's why I've loved meat since I was a child! ”

Tie Han couldn't help laughing.

Guan Xiaoduo spread his hands: "Bullying women is not a glorious thing, the point is that you can't beat it if you want to, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing - I, Guan Xiaoduo, have never been vegetarians." ”

As he spoke, Guan Xiaoduo waved his fist in front of him decently.

After a few glasses of white wine, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she continued: "Now, basically no one in the town can beat me, and the ruffians on the ground nearby don't dare to show their heads on my territory. It's not me bragging, in the territory of Furong Town, if someone dares to bully you, report my name to Duo Ye and make sure you're okay! ”

Tie Han's expression was complicated, and the first thing that came to mind at this time was the gang of thugs outside the door, and she seemed to have forgotten about those people outside the clouds.

Don't mention it. Tie Han smiled and sandwiched a piece of meat for her: "Eat more." ”
