Fireflies are flying, and the wind is pleasant.

There was a knock on the door outside Zhao's mansion.

"Knock knock! Knock knock! ”

"It's coming, it's coming!"

At first, he just kept knocking on the door, and probably the people outside were impatient and kicked the door a few times.

"The eldest prince - ouch my mother!" The porter's subordinate opened a crack, and this kick came directly to his chest, kicking the man over.

"You've been getting lazy lately. Not up yet? Zhao Yanjiu said, with a trace of guilt, he reached out to help the person up, and patted the dust that was rubbed.

If you look at the face of Zhao Dagongzi, he is handsome and comfortable, with high eyebrows and beautiful bones. Take a closer look, his cheeks are slightly red, the collar of the diagonal placket is staggered, one trouser leg is turned out of the boot, and the whole person is drunk, but he still thinks he is uninhibited and romantic.

"Ouch, I'm going to die today......"

"Shhh The subordinate held his waist and wanted to remind him, but he didn't say anything.

Zhao Yanjiu, who was drunk, didn't notice that his subordinates were desperately making their eyes, and swayed into the quiet inner courtyard, and went down the corridor to the main room.

He hadn't taken two steps before he stopped abruptly and burped.

Just hit the front yard and came in was pitch black, stepped into the weeping flower door, only a few bright lights were lit under the eaves, and when I turned my eyes, I saw that the east wing was brightly lit.

Zhao Qingmiao was wearing a dark intarsia cloud brocade shirt, a light blue skirt, and a pair of brocade satin shoes were exposed at the bottom. She sat on a chair at the door for a long time, and from the side stood Chang Xi, Chang Huan, Steward Zhong, and a strange boy.

A few people looked over.

Zhao Qingmiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Brother, what wine did you drink today?" Daughter red? Flower carving? ”

"Haha, haha...... Sister, when did you come back? Why didn't anyone in the house inform me? I'll pick you up at the docks. Zhao Yanjiu said in his heart that he was done with the ball, thinking about the conversation and fooling the past.

"Brother, how did you promise me before I left home?" Zhao Qingmiao spoke slowly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, full of sarcasm, and she couldn't hold back her energy and wanted to vomit quickly.

"Have you forgotten that my father was drunk and fell into the river and drowned. If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about my own sister. ”

Zhao Yanjiu's breath was stagnant, and he was a little unreasonable, so he didn't look at her and looked up at the moon.

"Don't blame me for this! It stands to reason that you should have been back two days ago. Those buyers and customers are all big men, and they go to the shop to ask where the goods are floating and when they will be pulled back. I had no choice but to accompany them, thinking that I would get them drunk and delay the delivery in advance. ”

Zhao Yanjiu told the truth, so he felt that he was a little more open.

"There is indeed something delayed on the road, I will deliver the goods tomorrow, and by the way, I will compensate those old men. Brother, rest early. ”

Zhao Yan didn't expect her to give up today, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, you have worked hard, and tomorrow I will have time to tell my brother about the delay on the road." ”

Zhao Qingmiao agreed, but she felt tired and couldn't lift her spirits, so she got up and walked into the house. As soon as she closed the door and opened it immediately, her eyes swept lightly at Shen Xiao, and she instructed Steward Zhong.

"Uncle Zhong, his name is Shen Jiu, and he will stay in the mansion in the future."

Steward Zhong nodded, his smiling old face kind. Then he led Shen Xiao through the corridor and went to the side room at the south end.

The Zhao family's house is three in and two out, located on Chengdong Street, and is only separated by an alley from his maternal grandfather Wang's house.

Chang Xi and Chang Huan lived in the ear room next to the main house.

The eyes, nose and lips of the brother and sister seem to be copied one by one, but Chang Huan's skeleton is wider and powerful.

He hooked Chang Xi's neck and asked, "Are you in distress on the road?" ”

"Well, Miss didn't let me mention it more, saying that Childe would explain it." Chang Xi replied.

Chang Huan raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips: "Who is that kid?" The young lady likes to pick up someone casually and come back. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, my brother! This time it's really thanks to Shen Jiu, without him, I'm afraid that we will all suffer. ”

～

"It's here. The other rooms are full, and you just came, so let's make do with an old man like me. Because Zhao Qingmiao did not specify that he would treat Shen Xiao as a subordinate, Steward Zhong left room for him to speak.

Shen Xiao stood in front of the threshold, neither advancing nor retreating, his eyes deep in thought.

Steward Zhong didn't know why, so he reached out and patted him, but he was dodged, so he had to smile awkwardly.

Shen Xiao's eyes were clear, and his expression was indifferent and alienated.

"That, Izuku Bucket ......"

"You said thatched toilet, go out and turn right and go to the end."

Shen Xiao nodded.

Looking at the back of the person, Steward Zhong sighed: What a gentlemanly child.

Shen Xiao looked at the narrow and simple latrine with wooden partitions, and felt uncomfortable.

Just squatted down, and suddenly heard all the news, and saw a black shadow suddenly emerge from under the crack in the toilet door, and Shen Xiao, who was so frightened that he was engrossed in brewing, immediately bounced up, and lifted his trouser belt in embarrassment.

It turned out to be a dog.

The black dog stared at the round eyes, opened a mouthful of sharp teeth, sharpened its paws, and made a 'snort' sound in its throat, as if to warn Shen Xiao that it had grabbed its territory.

The dog stared at him, he stared at the dog. Without waiting for Shen Xiao to move, the dog squeezed all his body in, opened a dog's leg at Shen Xiao without shame, and peed freely.

Shen Xiao rolled his eyes and was speechless. He simply pushed the door open, lifted his toes and kicked the dog out.

"Little brute, what kind of grudge do you have against you, running out in the middle of the night to scare me? Believe it or not, pulled out all your teeth? ”

With such a threat, the black dog seemed to be human, and immediately shrank down, "Ahhh~", and began to roll on the spot.

"Xiao Jiu, Zhao Laosan is not scared." At this moment, Steward Zhong came over, pinched the black dog's neck and lifted it up, and hugged it directly in his arms.

"You just entered the mansion and don't know that Zhao Laosan grew up beside the young lady since he was a child, and now he is an old dog, and the eldest prince also loves it very much, and everyone in the mansion dares not provoke it."

Someone supported him, and the black dog immediately raised his head and 'Wang' twice to show his ferocity.

It turned out that the dog's name was Zhao Laosan. Shen Xiao secretly thought: This dog follows the temperament of the owner of the Zhao family, arrogant and casual, and can bend and stretch.

"I said, isn't this dog in a cage?"

"No, Zhao Laosan is chained on weekdays. What's more, the eldest prince said that after a long time, I am afraid that it will become a stupid dog. ”

Shen Xiao thought: This dog is not stupid, he is clever.

This night, Shen Xiao slept on the hard bed board in a panic, listening to the snoring sound from Steward Zhong, tossing and turning, unable to sleep, until the sky was bright and the rooster crowed, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

~

The windows are bright and clear, and the rising sun is shining into the house little by little. The door opened softly, closed again, and a man entered through the curtain.

"Miss, wash up." Chang Xi first placed the basin on the wooden shelf, and then came over to close the curtain.

Zhao Qingmiao scattered a green silk, slowly propped herself up on the edge of the bed, and said, "I have to deliver the goods today, you will call Shen Jiu later." ”

Chang Xi was slightly flustered and opened his mouth: "He's still asleep in Uncle Zhong's house." ”

Dare to love this is to bring back an ancestor? Zhao Qingmiao threw the towel back into the basin after washing her face, sat down in front of the mirror, and let Chang Xi groom her.

"You go in a moment and remind him not to take himself seriously."
