In the afternoon, Mrs. Wang came, who was about forty years old and dressed quite exquisitely, her hair was combed and smooth, she was smeared with fragrant osmanthus oil, wearing blue gowns, and leading more than ten children in her early teens. As soon as this Wang Po saw Shao Yu, she was a fierce boast, what is good to hear, and she praised Shao Yu as the only one in the sky, and it was difficult to find it underground, so that Shao Yu was almost convinced. These children are estimated to be in elementary or junior high school in modern times, but in ancient times, because the family was poor and the children could not afford to raise more, they were bought by their parents.

Shao Yu was very sympathetic to them, but he couldn't do anything, and finally picked two smart, sweet-mouthed and handsome little girls, one called Qiu Fan, the other called Erya, and picked two little girls, spending a total of 100 taels of silver. Shao Yu gave them a new name, the original little girl called Qiu Fan is still called Qiu Fan, and the little girl called Erya is renamed Qiu Wen, the two small girls are called Laifu, and the smaller ones are called Laixi, and they are easy to call and festive.

The remaining seven or eight children were taken away by Wang Po again, all with sad faces, strange and pitiful, but there was no way, and Shao Yu couldn't do anything. The four children who bought this one have to stay by Mama Zhang's side for a few days, learn the rules, and then press the arrogance on their bodies before they can be used.

Xiao Zhan moved to the east wing in the front yard of the Pei family in the past few days, he was originally ordered by the prince to come to Jeju on an errand, and he should live in the yamen. However, a few days ago, the yamen ran out of water, and the three wings where Xiao Zhan lived and the few rooms where he usually kept sundries burned out, but fortunately there were no casualties. Xiao Zhan was alert, heard the movement and ran out in time, and asked others in the yamen to be informed. But the weather was dry, and there was wind at night, and once the fire was burned, it was out of control, and the servants and servants in the entire yamen got up to put out the fire, and the fire was extinguished after a busy night. But the dozen or so wings in that row were burned beyond recognition, scorched black, and it was impossible to live in them.

Lord He invited Xiao Zhan to live in the mansion and live with He Yunzhi, but Xiao Zhan refused Lord He's kindness. Later, he lived with Pei Shaoli to Pei's house, Pei Shaoli asked people to tidy up the east wing of the front yard, the bedding and mosquito nets were all replaced with new ones, the tables, chairs and benches were all wiped clean, and a few potted plants were placed in the room, and the whole house was very clean and elegant.

It is said that the dart bureau recently received a large order of business, Jeju Tongzhi Zhao's family members want to visit relatives in Huizhou's hometown, Miss Guang, there are six young masters, plus Mrs. Zhao and two concubines, maids, and more than a dozen cages brought by Mrs. Zhao, the group is also vast. Lord Zhao sent more than 20 servants and servants to follow, but after all, he was still not at ease, so he found a few more dart masters to protect him.

Pei Shaoli asked Feng Henian to take seven or eight good kung fu dart masters to escort the darts, Jeju has not been too peaceful, Mrs. Zhao and her party are eye-catching, as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, although Pei Shaoli has already said hello all the way, after all, be careful to make the Wannian ship, send more people to be prepared.

Pei Zhong has been playing a dart game for many years, has many friends, usually says hello to the heroes of the green forest, and reports the name when he walks the dart, and the other party does not do it when he hears that he is familiar. Otherwise, these ringing horses are not merciless, sometimes it is not just as simple as robbing money, killing people and stealing goods is also a common thing.

The imperial court also wants to manage it, but the people of Jeju are fierce, and basically every family has a tradition of practicing martial arts, so as long as these people are not too excessive on weekdays, the imperial court also turns a blind eye.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiangma killed the son of Lord Liang some time ago, causing everyone in Jeju to be in danger, they all went up to the fold and asked the Holy Lord to send someone to exterminate Xiangma, it is estimated that the imperial court would still turn a blind eye.

It is said that this Jeju is the fief of the king of Pingxi, the king of Pingxi is the younger brother of Emperor Taizu's mother, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court. Because of his meritorious work in quelling the chaos, Xiao Zhan was named General Zhennan, and the Holy Lord also gave him the mansion of General Zhennan. Just because he was alone and not married, King Pingxi did not let him live in the General's Mansion, so Xiao Zhan has been living in the palace.

This time, Xiao Zhan came to Jeju on the orders of the prince to eradicate these unscrupulous and unscrupulous ringing horses in one fell swoop. He didn't come alone, there were more than 20 people who came at the same time, but he didn't show up at ordinary times, and he only appeared at a critical moment.

Xiao Zhan has been here for more than half a month, this gang of Xiangma usually lives in the mountains, the big boss in Xiangma has been caught, the third master has died, and the second master has run away, as well as the military division. Although he can return to Beijing to resume his life, Xiao Zhan faintly feels that this second arrival will definitely appear again, and it should not be too long.

On this day, Shaoyu picked lotus flowers in the lotus pond in the garden and prepared to make fried lotus flowers to eat. Fried lotus is to wrap the lotus with a layer of egg white, and you can put syrup or salt in the egg white, according to your own taste preferences. Put the lotus wrapped in egg white in the oil pan and fry it out, it is crispy and delicious, and with the fragrance of lotus flowers, it is very delicious.

Shao Yu just suddenly wanted to eat fried lotus flowers, and wanted to fry a few flowers first to see the effect, so he didn't let Cui'er follow. When picking lotus flowers, one of them was a little far from the shore, Shao Yu stood on tiptoe and reached out to pick it, but suddenly his feet slipped, and his whole body fell forward, seeing that he was about to fall into the lotus pond, Shao Yu couldn't help shouting: "Cui'er!" ”

At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed her waist from behind, and she was pulled to the shore in an instant. Shao Yu turned around in shock, and unexpectedly met a pair of swarthy and unfathomable narrow phoenix eyes, and the four eyes were facing each other, and it was eternal in an instant.

At this time, I heard Xiao Zhan say: "Let me help you, just this one you couldn't reach just now, right?" ”

Shao Yu couldn't help but nod a little shyly and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao." I'll give you a taste when it's ready. ”

Xiao Zhan's long hands and legs reached this lotus easily, and Hao was not troublesome. Shao Yu sighed in his heart: "Long legs are good, unlike my own short legs, what can I do." ”

I was thinking about it here, and Xiao Zhan had already picked three or four lotus flowers and handed them over. Shao Yu took the lotus flower and said, "Thank you, Brother Xiao, you can rest in this pavilion for a while, I will fry it later, you can taste it." ”

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "I don't know if Yueniang's wound is all healed, last time the eldest brother was very sorry, not only did Yueniang make you frightened but also injured." Shao Yu couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him speak for the first time, his voice was low and magnetic, very good.

Xiao Zhan rarely spoke, and Shao Yu once laughingly thought that he was stuttering or had a speech barrier.

Shao Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Xiao, my injury has long been healed, just a small injury, and it is not in the way." Besides, you sent such a good ointment, and it didn't leave any scars at all. ”

Xiao Zhan glanced at Shao Yu and said, "That's good, it's good that you don't blame the eldest brother." ”

Shao Yu was about to reply, only to hear his father Pei Zhong say: "Yueniang, hurry up and bring a pot of tea, I'll talk to you Brother Xiao." ”

Shao Yu turned his head and looked at his father Pei Zhong, walked twisted and twisted, and went to the pavilion. Pei Zhong's injuries have healed, but he still has some pain when he walks.

Shao Yu replied, "Okay, Daddy." ”

After speaking, he left the garden, and when he arrived in the inner courtyard, he quickly made a pot of tea and asked Liu Er to send it over. Here I made fried lotus with Cui'er Lian'er, and seeing that it was time for lunch, I made a few more dishes by the way, and after a while, my brother Pei Shaoli came back from outside. As soon as he arrived at Shaoyu's yard, he said: "Yueniang makes something delicious, it's so fragrant." ”

Shao Yu said: "Daddy and Brother Xiao are talking in the pavilion in the circle. ”

Pei Shaoli said: "Okay, I'll go." Let's put the meal in the gazebo later. ”

Shao Yu said: "I save it, brother, you can go." ”
