"I ......" Zhan Huai looked around and lowered his voice, "I can't hide it, I'm in trouble, I can't live in Wuxi City, so I come to you to avoid the limelight." ”

When Zhanhuai spoke, his head stretched out, and he was very close to Huo Roufeng, his double eyelids were very deep, just the right width and narrowness, and his eyelashes were very long, probably because of lying, his big eyes blinked and blinked, which was the cuteness that should be at this age.

Huo Roufeng licked her upper lips with the tip of her tongue, she was busy on the road these days, and her lips were a little dry.

The tip of her tongue is small, and Zhanhuai remembers the little milk dog that the fourth brother gave him when he was a child.

"When I was a child, I also had a puppy, the puppy was afraid of the cold, I carried it to the bed at night, every morning, I was woken up by it licking with its tongue, you don't know how good it is, if I don't open my eyes, it will keep licking. Little milk dog, soft tongue. ”

Huo Roufeng raised her eyebrows slightly, what's the matter with this person?

But she still couldn't help asking, "You obviously have a dog, and you want to steal me?" ”

The light in Zhanhuai's eyes dimmed: "Later, my father found out and said that a man can't play with things, so he took the puppy away, I secretly asked many people, but I didn't know if the puppy was killed by my father or thrown away." ”

Huo Roufeng gritted her teeth, she was not familiar with the first generation of Min Guogong, but Mrs. Gao was by no means such a harsh character.

Zhanhuai continued: "I don't dare to cry, my father said that the men of the Zhan family shed blood and sweat, but they can't shed tears. I haven't had a dog since. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Huo Roufeng again: "I didn't mean to steal your dog, or I saw that it was lonely and pitiful, so I just raised it for you for a few days, I am very good to it, I don't believe you ask it." ”

The trace of pity that had just sprung up in Huo Roufeng's heart disappeared with the last words.

"Did I ask you why you stole the dog? Where did you come from so much nonsense, don't say anything about what you don't have, say quickly, what are your intentions in running to my Zhuangzi? ”

Zhanhuai grabbed his hair helplessly, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice: "Actually, you guessed it a long time ago, didn't you?" What do you ask me to do? Well, you guessed it, you guessed it, you're so smart, I've never seen such a smart kid as you. ”

As he spoke, he gave Huo Roufeng a thumbs up.

Huo Roufeng's head was a little confused, what did she guess?

By the way, she guessed that he was like in Ningbo, he came to his father to do errands, if he wanted to do things, he could live in the official post, and he could live in an inn if he wanted to attract attention, Wuxi and the city was bustling and lively, how could it be compared to the countryside, he could find any hidden place to live, and there was no need to stay with her.

So what's going on?

Zhan Huai watched Huo Jiu's brows furrow more and more tightly, and he endured it so that he didn't let himself laugh out loud.

A child is a child, and no matter how clever he is, he is still a child.

He was four years older than Huo Jiu, and he had eaten rice for four more years, so of course he was even smarter than Huo Jiu.

Huo Roufeng's brows suddenly expanded, yes, she was almost fooled!

Zhanhuai was talking nonsense, and she was almost taken to the ditch by him.

"Then did the people of Wuxi Wei steal and sell military rations this time, or did the officials of Wuxi Mansion secretly collude with the imperial court? By the way, Wuxi is not your family's territory, and the yamen at all levels have nothing to do with your family, so you are afraid that no one will find out, and you will come to visit friends in my Zhuangzi, although our Huo family is only a merchant, but it is also famous in Wuxi, and there are the most shops in Wuxi City, when you go out of my Zhuangzi, and then release the wind, you will become a certain Shaodong who has a friendship with the Huo family, although this identity is not high, but it can also let you mix in Wuxi for ten days and a half months, right? ”

Huo Roufeng stared at Zhanhuai's eyes tightly, and Zhanhuai's eyes gradually bent up, like two crescent moons.

This time Zhanhuai didn't endure it any longer, he laughed, showing his neat teeth: "Huo Xiaojiu, you go to Fujian with me, don't look at my family as a general, but the Xixi invited is Mr. Xia Shichang Xia from Jiangnan Academy in the past, this is something that can't be invited even if you have money, I ask Mr. Xia for a favor and let him accept you as a student, do you think it's okay?" ”

Huo Roufeng has figured out the routine of Zhanhuai, this person just doesn't play cards according to common sense, you ask him anything, he will always answer you incompatibly.

Therefore, when talking to Zhanhuai, you must not take it lightly, otherwise you will be led astray by him, and you don't even know where you are.

"Let me ask you, was I right just now?" Huo Roufeng asked.

"Is Mrs. Huo reluctant to give you up? I have to talk to her about it, how old are you? Ten years old? Eleven? When I was your age, I had already begun to read the Spring and Autumn Period, a manly man, I want to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, what do you say? Zhanhuai said seriously and sincerely.

"How do you know I'm not studying? My family also has Xixi, which was invited by my sister to a lot of people, and I studied with him when I was in Hangzhou. Huo Roufeng was not to be outdone, she lived for two lives, and she hated being told that she didn't like to read anymore.

Zhanhuai suddenly realized, but immediately frowned again: "You mean that you studied with him when you were in Hangzhou, so did you come to Wuxi to bring that gentleman?" No, you see, it's still that gentleman who can't discipline you, and you skipped school at a young age. ”

"No, Mr. Zhang is going to take the exam next year, and now is the time when reading is important, so my sister didn't let him come with him. Besides, I'm learning the flute, and Master Liu Wuzui, who teaches the flute, is going to follow, and I will practice the flute every day in the future, babbling, it will disturb Mr. Zhang's reading. Huo Roufeng defended, she was telling the truth, Mr. Zhang was going to take the exam next year.

Later, my sister heard that Mr. Zhang's family was poor, and he owed a lot of money for his mother's treatment, so my sister paid off the debt for Mr. Zhang, on the condition that Mr. Zhang taught her to read.

So this time Mr. Zhang is going to go down, and my sister is very supportive, and said that if Mr. Zhang wins the Jinshi, then she will have a Jinshi teacher.

Hmph, it's not what Zhanhuai said, what kind of truancy, it's not.

Huo Roufeng finished speaking like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, gritting her teeth and glaring at Zhanhuai, like a kitten ready to catch someone at any time.

Zhan Huai nodded solemnly, expressing his belief, and then stretched out his paw and touched her head lovingly: "What a sensible and good boy, if your husband is able to go to high school, I will write to my second brother and ask him to take care of it, do you think it's okay?" ”

Zhanhuai's second brother is a colt and has been in the capital for many years.
