On the third day, a letter came from the gate of the Chu Palace, but this time it was not stuffed into the crack of the door, it was sent by a child, who looked like a tiger with a strong head, looked at the high threshold and was a little timid, and tried very hard to make it clear word by word: "Uncle, this letter was sent by a masked man, and he said that he had read the letter, whether it would work or not, he had to give an answer." ”

The little guy guarding the door looked at him, "You're with the thief, right?" Why run errands for him. ”

The child was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Uncle, the thief arrested my brother and said that if I don't deliver the letter, I will never see my brother again, if I don't take my brother back, my father and mother will definitely beat me to death." ”

He said with a crying tone, and began to want to cry, when a shout came from the door, "Open the door, the prince has come out." ”

The gate of the Chu Palace's palace is not open on weekdays, and people go in and out of the side door, and only when Murong Mian hits the next court, the gate is opened.

The little servant hurriedly scolded the child, "Don't make trouble, the prince goes out, you stay away." "After these two days, everyone knows the attitude of the prince of Chu towards the princess, so today's letter, it is estimated that the prince will not be interested, and the little girl has no intention of reporting, so as not to delay the prince's court.

Murong Mian saw a child sitting on the threshold from a distance, being dragged away by the little girl, he was a little strange, his reputation was not good, the children in Lin'an City would rather make a big detour than hit the front of the Chu Palace, this child was not afraid of him.

When he arrived at the door, he pulled the reins and asked condescendingly, "What's the matter, what's the noise?" ”

Since the prince asked, the little girl had to answer truthfully, and after listening to it, Murong Mian asked the child: "Do you want an answer, is it a message, or do you want to write it down?" ”

The child cowered and leaned against the door, not daring to look at him, "The masked man is afraid that I will not be able to speak clearly, so if he wants to write it, he will write it on that letter." ”

Murong Mian asked, "Isn't he afraid that I will send someone to follow you?" ”

"The man only told me where to put the letter, and I put it, and when the task was done, he released my brother."

"Still, I fenced off the place where you put your letter, didn't he catch him as soon as he appeared?"

The child blinked, "Then I can't take care of it, it's better if I catch it, I'm afraid that his words won't count." ”

Murong Mian looked him up and down, "Where are you from?" What's the last name? ”

The child said, "My surname is Niu, I live in Niutoushan Village, I have parents and sisters, and a younger brother. ”

"How did you get here?"

"He brought me on horseback."

"And how do you go back?"

"I have an uncle in town, and I asked him to take me and my brother back in a car."

One answer and one question, without any flaws, Murong Mian said to the little guy, "Take him to the chief manager and write the answer." ”

The little guy asked, "If the chief manager asks how to write ......?"

Murong Mian thought for a while, "Just write: If you don't have money, you have to take it away." ”

The little guy answered, bowed down and stepped aside, Murong Mian took two steps with the reins and turned back, "It's hard to believe that he was frightened today, let the chief manager reward a few dollars to suppress the shock." ”

When the big dog heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Thank you, master!" ”

When Murong Mian walked away, the little guy took the big dog to see Hao Pingguan and told the prince what he meant, of course Hao Pingguan wouldn't say anything, he wrote that sentence in a slippery manner, handed it to the big dog, and told him, "Take it, don't lose it, you won't be able to come back if you lose your brother." ”

The big dog held the letter, his feet didn't move, Baba looked at him, "The big man called for a reward to give me a surprise, I don't believe you asked him." He pointed to the little guy as he spoke.

The matter of the reward, the little guy said, but Hao Pingguan pretended not to listen, rewarded two small dollars, he was embarrassed to report, Hengzhi asked him to make up for himself, a child, fooling the past is over, I didn't expect this child thief, seeing that he didn't give it, he directly asked for it, Hao Pingguan was the chief manager of the Chu Palace, and he couldn't afford to lose this person, so he still took out a broken silver and gave it to him.

The big dog finished his work here, and although the reply was not good, he was still happy when he got the reward.

Ergou's side is not going well, although Prime Minister Bai is in the house, but the doorkeeper refuses to report, because the fifth lady has already married, and it has nothing to do with the Bai family whether she is dead or alive. Besides, even if she doesn't get married, Miss Fifth is not welcome, Mrs. Bai regards her as a thorn in her side, wishing she would disappear, if this happens, she must clap her hands, he wants to report it, and he will definitely touch his nose.

The second dog is not in a hurry, and he is not allowed to enter, he will die at the door and wait, and the horizontal and vertical white prime minister will go to court, and he will not come out.

As a result, he waited and waited, but he didn't wait for Prime Minister Bai Cheng, but an old woman came to ask, and the little man who guarded the door said truthfully, and the old woman glanced at him contemptuously and said, "Come in, I'll take you to see Xiangye." ”

As soon as Ergou heard that there was a play, he immediately came to his senses and went in with her with the letter. Bai Xiangfu is very large, the old woman took him to turn left and right, into a spacious courtyard, in the hall sat a richly dressed woman, cocking the orchid finger drinking tea, seeing him come in, first frowned, "Why did you bring a little screamer in." ”

Ergou said, "I'm not a little screamer, I'm here to deliver a letter." ”

He handed the letter over, but Madame Bai didn't answer, her eyelids were hanging, and she looked at him coldly.

The old woman went over, bent down and whispered a few words in her ear. Madam Bai's frowning brows stretched, "Show it to me." ”

Honglian took the letter and opened it and presented it to her, Madame Bai glanced at it and couldn't help but smile, "It costs two hundred and fifty taels, she really looks like she is her own." Asked Ergou: "If you don't give money, will you tear up the ticket?" ”

Ergou immediately picked himself up vigilantly, "I don't know about this, I'm only responsible for delivering the letter, they arrested my brother, if I don't agree, they won't let my brother go, if I can't take my brother home today, my father and mother will definitely beat me to death, aunt and grandmother, you can do well, give money or not, you hurry up and reply, I am still waiting to bring the letter back, so as to change my brother." ”

Mrs. Bai was born in a family of eunuchs, and after two years of private school, she can still write, and immediately let the red lotus pen and ink serve, and she personally wrote down a few big characters. When the ink is dry, let Honglian fold the letter back and give it to Ergou.

The second dog turned around to leave, but Mrs. Bai called and stopped, "You can't go now, I'll find a place for you to sit, when the time comes, I'll let you go." ”

Ergou was taken aback, "Auntie, I'm a messenger, why are you locking me up, I'm still waiting to get the letter back to my brother." ”

"Don't worry, I won't let you stay long," Madame Bai waved her hand, "take him to the firewood room, and release him when the sun is over." Then he said to Ergou, "Go out this time, don't come again, or I'll break your legs!" ”

When she said this, her eyes were staring, her eyelids were hanging, and she looked like a wicked woman, and the second dog spat her in her heart, and scolded her angrily as she walked.
