Chapter 19: The Four Guards

Brother Xi is straightforward and straightforward, and Hua Lan likes it very much: "Okay, you are Brother Xi." ”

She raised her eyes and looked at Silly Le and said, "You are called Xiqing, and you will live here from now on." You are still young, in a few days I will invite a teacher to come in and teach you to read, so that you can be alive! ”

"In the future, the affairs of the government, and the invitation of some more people, the accounts of each shop must be clearly understood. If you can't read or count, this is not good. ”

"Childe, can I really be literate?"

Brother Xi blinked his big eyes and said with a light on his face.

Hua Lan nodded, "That's natural, the Chu family has many shops, and I can't keep the accounts alone, so I have to hand these over to you." What, no confidence? ”

Brother Xi is strong by nature, although he is young, he is honest and keen, and immediately smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Xi must study hard and help Childe take care of his business." ”

Brother Xi is very smart, festive but very simple. He is a few years old, but he is stupid. Brother Xi poked him in the waist, but he said: "I don't want it, I don't want to read and write, I want to learn martial arts and kung fu." If you learn kung fu, you can protect your master, I want to learn kung fu. ”

Learning Kung Fu?

Hua Lan thought about it for a while, there were few people in the house, so she had to invite some guards with strong martial arts, so she nodded: "Well, Xiqing is right, you two are the only men in the house, not only to learn literacy, but also to learn some kung fu, I don't know where to invite a martial artist to teach you?" ”

She set her eyes on Uncle Xi's face.

Uncle Xi thought for a while and said, "There are two martial arts halls in Kyoto City, one is the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion, and the other is the Zhennan Martial Arts Pavilion. The owner of the Huwei Martial Arts Hall is called Liao Canghai, I don't know what sect and what faction is the successor, and he has a lot of kung fu, and he defeated Yin Zhennan of the Zhennan Martial Arts Hall in last year's competition. It is said that Yin Zhennan's kung fu is good, but unfortunately this defeat has frustrated his spirit, and I heard that he returned to Kunlun Mountain again, and he just came back after a year. ”

"Kunlun Mountain?"

Hua Lan thought for a moment, the two martial arts halls had the smell of gunpowder, and it was best not to touch it as much as she could, and asked: "In addition to these two, there are also martial artists who have no strength to come to our mansion." ”

Because his grandson wants to practice martial arts, he likes the old man's heart. He frowned and thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "Yes, there are warrior monks in Anguo Temple, and Master Huijing is a master of reaching the pinnacle, if you can let Brother Xi and Xiqing learn martial arts with them, they will definitely be more successful than the martial arts hall." ”

"Ankokuji?"

Uncle Xi's words have not yet fallen, and the spring silkworm who has not spoken has waved his hand: "Master, this is not good." King Shou'an is a closed disciple of Master Jingchen, if he knows that the master is here, what will happen? ”

The spring silkworm stayed in the Chu Mansion for a few hours, and her heart was very happy.

The queen has a good temperament, and she gives her all the big and small things, but she is too much of the big housekeeper of the Chu Mansion. This addiction is still alive, and the servants of the Chu Mansion are all gone. She has to be busy with the next big and small affairs, and this high taste is full of temptation, and she has already forgotten what happened after returning to the palace.

At this moment, I wish the queen was in Chu Mansion, if the master returned to the palace, wouldn't she also be trapped in the palace?

The last time I escaped, it was because the emperor was not in the palace, and there was chaos in the palace. Next time will be different, how many chances can there be? She doesn't have any score in her heart, if she can't get it, the taste of being imprisoned in the palace for the rest of her life is terrible to think about. Therefore, she is resolutely opposed to her master revealing any clues.

She didn't think about what she spoke, and as soon as she spoke, Uncle Xi was startled, and asked in surprise: "Gongzi and King Shou'an are familiar with each other, did they have any festivals before?" ”

King Shou'an is the emperor's elder brother, the third prince of the first emperor, and Uncle Xi couldn't help but panic: "If there is any festival here, it will really make it difficult for the benefactor." Now that King Shouan has returned from Ankokuji Temple, the entire Kyoto Castle has become a household name. ”

He was worried about his benefactor, and his eyes couldn't help worrying: "Son, please rest assured, the old man will go out to inquire and see if there is any more powerful martial artist." ”

He said that he was going out, but Hua Lan hurriedly stopped: "Uncle is not busy, there are more important things to do." ”

"What else, Childe just commands."

Uncle Xi hurriedly bowed down and waited for orders.

Now that the subordinates in the house have been dismissed, there are only six people left in the house, old and young.

Hua Lan had to think about a few layers, seeing that it was getting late, if she went to the dental store to recruit people, she was afraid that it would be a mixed of personnel.

After thinking about it, he could only find a few nursing homes from the martial arts hall first, and then make plans for something, so he said to the spring silkworm: "You go to the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion to find a few nursing homes first, if you want to find top martial arts, the price is as many as they want." ”

There are only these two people in the Chu Mansion now, Hua Lan thought a few more layers, she didn't think about what she did just now, how could the huge Chu Mansion dismiss all the subordinates at once.

She secretly regretted it, but it was too late. Now the remedy can only be pinned on the martial arts hall, and he instructed the spring silkworm: "It's better to call only four nurses." ”

"Worthy of the master."

The spring silkworm secretly admired the decisiveness of the queen mother, and took the order to leave the house.

She had been in Kyoto City for four years, so she naturally knew that the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion had little effort, so she invited the four nurses of the Tiger Mighty Martial Arts Pavilion.

It was worthy of coming out of the martial arts hall, and as soon as four big men with big shoulders and round waists stood in front of Hua Lan, her eyes lit up, "What are your names?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, my name is Da Biao, he is Dawu, this is Da Zhuang, that is Da Wei."

A muscular man stood out, and the urn was introduced angrily.

"Da Biao, Da Wu, Da Zhuang, Da Wei!"

Hua Lan looked at them one by one, and frowned: "This name is not easy to remember, it is better like this, my son's surname is Hua, and naturally the house is Huafu, let's take a simple name, easy to remember and easy to call, I don't know what a few people think?" ”

The four big men were originally apprentices in the martial arts hall, and they were the children of poor families, but now they have found a job, but they are overjoyed. Of course, the master's words should be listened to, and he replied in unison: "But according to the master's orders." ”

"Don't call the master, just call me son."

Hua Lan was very satisfied with the title of Gongzi, and when she saw that the four of them had no opinion, she said one by one: "You rank your age, and you will call it one flower, two flowers, three flowers, and four in order, what do you think?" ”

"But by the master's command!"

Probably the martial arts hall trains like this on weekdays, and the four of them still speak in unison.

"That!"

Hua Lan raised her hand, her ears buzzed, and she waved her hand for a long time: "That's it, Hua Yi!" ”

She said to the strong man who had just come out of the ranks: "You take two people to guard at the door first, no one will enter the house, and I will go out with the spring silkworm to do something." ”

"Childe, I'm Hua San!"

The strong man took a step forward and looked up.

"Oh?"

He glanced at the four of them, and saw that the eyes of the other three were all looking at Hua San, and then he understood.

Probably this Hua San's martial arts are the highest among the four, and he said with confidence: "Nacheng, Hua San, you and Hua Yi are going around the mansion, and Hua Er and Hua Si are guarding the door of the mansion." ”

"Yes, but at the master's command."

The four of them said in unison, and then walked out of the two and went to the mansion gate, and Hua San took Hua to inspect the mansion at the beginning.

"These four people are really loud."

Seeing that Uncle Xi took Brother Xi and Xiqing back to the East Courtyard, the spring silkworm glanced at the magpie standing aside, stuck out his tongue, and asked the master: "Where is the master going now, it's getting dark, what should I do for dinner?" ”

"Where can I go, I can't let the magpie always wear a happy dress, right?"

Hua Lan saw that the magpie didn't move, so she said to her: "You also go back to help Uncle Xi clean up, and I'll talk about anything when I come back."
