Xu Jiao hurriedly got up.

Zhao Yin rubbed his ears: "What's the ghost called?" It's noisy! ”

Dong'er finished roaring, looked up and asked Xu Jiao: "Miss, what's the situation?" Why is the prince on your bed? You guys...... Last night...... Sleeping together? ”

Xu Jiao raised her hand and brushed her messy hair: "Last night, he stayed in my room for a night. ”

Dong'er was shocked: "Thief? Why didn't I hear anything? Moreover, there are Zhang Chao and Liu Yu, no matter how bad it is, there are big cats guarding the door, how did the thief sneak in? ”

Xu Jiao nodded: "This is exactly what I am wondering, it shouldn't be an ordinary thief, so I'm going to go home to see if there is anything going on my father's side." ”

Dong'er washed the copper basin, mixed it with water-soaked face towel and handed it to her: "Miss suspects that the thief is coming for the master?" ”

Xu Jiao nodded: "Well, otherwise it doesn't make sense." ”

When Zhao Yin heard this, he suddenly felt that it was not good, and finally seized the opportunity to sleep all night with the little woman Meizizi, if he went back again, when her little stepmother stirred up, where would he have a chance?

So, he quickly jumped out to stop it: "No! ”

Xu Jiao asked, "Why?" ”

Zhao Yin said: "There is only a small team of guards in your father's mansion with Zhang Yue and the official, if you go back, will they protect you or protect your father?" It's better to stay on the mountain, the mountain is much safer than your home, and you forgot that there is still Jiang Jiajun at the foot of the mountain. ”

Xu Jiaoyi weighed it and seemed to make sense. raised his head and shouted: "Zhang Chao, Liu Yu, come here." ”

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Jiao asked Dong'er to open the door and let the two in: "...... last night"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Chao and Liu Yu said in unison: "We went to catch the thief last night." ”

Xu Jiao looked up at the two tall men, and saw that the two of them had blue and purple on their faces and foreheads, and sure enough, they were all traces after the fight, so she was convinced: "Didn't you even catch the thief?" ”

The two shook their heads: "I haven't caught it." ”

Xu Jiao was silent.

After a while, he looked up and said to Zhang Chao: "You send a letter to Daddy and ask him to be more careful recently." ”

Zhang Chao nodded: "Yes." ”

Xu Jiao took Dong'er with her and went to the makeup cabinet to make up.

Zhang Chao and Liu Yu took the lead in going out, Zhao Yin walked last, picked up the black clothes that were thrown in the corner of the screen last night and walked out and said, "I will come over to guard you at night." ”

Xu Jiao didn't respond.

Thanks to Zhao Yin, Xu Jiao, who used to ask for four invitations in winter, got up a little early today. After cleaning up and finishing breakfast, it was still early.

So, she took the big cat and started patrolling the mountains.

Xu Jiao carried her little hands behind her back, followed by Dong'er and the big cat, and went out all the way to the mountain.

Dong'er was a little worried all the way: "Miss, the master will be fine, right?" ”

Xu Jiao paused: "It's going to be fine." Anyway, it is also the dignified judgment of Huaizhou Mansion, the last locust plague and the plague two years ago have made him a good official in the eyes of the people, besides, there is Rong'er by his side, who dares to blatantly harm him without opening his eyes? ”

Dong'er frowned: "Don't dare blatantly, I'm afraid that I will encounter a trick, have you forgotten about being assassinated by An Beitang last time?" ”

Xu Jiao looked back at her: "What are you so worried about my father?" He's got someone around him, and besides, he's got a firework for help, and if anything happens, we'll be able to see it here. ”

Dong'er's little face turned red after a while, and she quickly lowered her head and didn't speak.

Xu Jiao was dumbfounded! This girl......

She clenched her fist and smashed it her head, and said secretly: This girl is spinning around her every day, and she doesn't even see it at all, I really don't know if it's because her city is deep enough or if she is too careless.

At the moment, staring at Dong'er: "Tell me, how did you get picked up by my father back then?" ”

Dong'er looked up at her suspiciously.

Xu Jiao turned around and walked forward slowly: "You know that I forgot what happened in the past, and suddenly I want to know how we met, you say it slowly." ”

Dong'er followed her and said, "I picked it up when the master was carrying the goods at the dock." ”

"So my dad went to the dock to carry the goods?" Xu Jiao asked.

"At that time, the Guogong Mansion covered the sky with only one hand, and the lords in the mansion couldn't see the lord's good, and did everything possible to cut off the master's livelihood, so the lord could only do some things at the bottom, so as to avoid the clutches of those lords."

"Well, you go ahead and talk about your business."

"I was only a teenager at the time, and I don't know how many times I was sold by traffickers. I don't know my own background. Because of my small body, in the middle of the night, I was taken to the dock by my new father, who had just bought me, and asked me to go through the cracks in the board and steal tea from the warehouse. As a result, I was afraid of water, and I didn't dare to get off the boat for a long time, so he whipped me with a whip, and then he alarmed the old man who was working overtime to carry the goods, and the old man stood up and shouted, and the man was so frightened that he left me and ran away, and then the old man took me back to the house to take care of the young lady. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Xu Jiao asked.

Dong'er nodded: "That's it, if the young lady doesn't believe it, you can ask the master." ”

Xu Jiao: "I believe it." So, you should be twenty this year, right? ”

Dong'er hesitated and nodded: "About yes." ”

"Do you have a favorite man? Want to get married? Xu Jiao asked.

"No, no, Miss don't make fun of Dong'er, Dong'er won't get married, I'll serve you and my master in this life, so I don't want to get married." Dong'er waved her hand again and again to refuse.

Xu Jiao smiled, turned her head and stopped, and said, "If you don't get married, you didn't say that you can't like people?" Who do you like? ”

Dong'er's cheeks were slightly red, but she shook her head: "Dong'er has no one you like." ”

Xu Jiao saw a hint of loss flashing in her eyes, so she pretended not to see anything, turned around and continued to walk towards the mountain: "Otherwise, when Rue Xiang comes back, you will go to the house to take care of my father?" ”

Dong'er was stunned, shook her head and said, "Don't, I'll stay by Miss's side and won't go anywhere." ”

Xu Jiao said casually: "Don't you like my father?" Why aren't you happy to let you serve him? ”

Dong'er was startled and stood in place incoherently: "Little ...... Sister..... Miss...... What to say? ”

"I said something wrong?" Xu Jiao looked back at her.

Dong'er twisted the front hem of her blouse with both hands, almost crumpling her clothes.

"You're really not going to serve my father?" Xu Jiao asked.

"No, no." Dong'er shook her head resolutely.

"Tell me about you, stupid or not? Why did you fall in love with wood like my dad? Xu Jiao said.

"Sir, not wood! The master is gentle, thoughtful, and good-looking, but he has never considered himself in order to protect the young lady all these years. "Dong'er is a little anxious.

Xu Jiao smiled: "It turns out that my father has so many advantages, it's hard for you to know so much." ”

Dong'er's eyes were red: "Miss still uses me as a pastime!" The old man is married! After saying that, I cried out loud.

Xu Jiao was stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "What is there to cry about, isn't it just a loss of love?" There are many good men in the world, let's find them again. ”

Dong'er simply sat on the path: "Don't!" They're not masters! ”

Xu Jiao squatted beside her and wiped her face with an embroidered handkerchief: "Then find someone better than my father." ”

Dong'er didn't answer, just crying.

Xu Jiao let the big cat lie forward, sat on the big cat's back and said: "It's not your own fault, you look at other people's Rong'er, if you like it, you will shoot in time, you have to hide it yourself, otherwise, just because you often shake in front of my father, it should be the first to get the moon near the water." ”

Dong'er cried and sobbed, so pitiful: "But ...... I...... I'm a ...... It's a slave. ”

"What's wrong with the slave? Slaves aren't human, are they? Slaves can't like people? ”

Dong'er looked up at her with red eyes: "So, I still have a chance?" ”

Xu Jiao froze, she seemed to have done something stupid! Hurriedly said: "There is naturally an opportunity, but it's not my father, my father already has Rong'er, you have to put your eyes on other men." ”

"Why? If the master is willing, I am also willing to make him a bed and warm quilt. Dong'er looked at her with teary eyes and asked.

Xu Jiao suddenly stood up and said to her, "How can you be so spineless? What does Tongfang do? If you want to get married, you have to be a big grandmother! If you want to be the lady of the main house, how can you be the concubine who has no interest? If you want to do this, don't say you know me in the future! ”

Dong'er was so frightened by her that she didn't dare to speak.

Xu Jiao continued: "Remember, forget my father, find a new target, this time, you must seize the opportunity, if you dare to miss it again, I will no longer keep you." ”

Dong'er nodded stunned.

Xu Jiao raised her hand with satisfaction and beckoned: "Get up, continue to patrol the mountain with me." ”

So, Dong'er wiped her face indiscriminately, got up and grabbed in front of the big cat to follow Xu Jiao to continue patrolling the mountain.

Xu Jiao's heart is so beautiful, I really didn't expect that she would inadvertently help her little stepmother so much, and in a few words to relieve the crisis of the little three, she will let Huang Rong thank herself another day!

Thinking of Dong'er behind him, I felt a little unbearable, but I thought that my secret love since ancient times would eventually die, and it would be better to help her match her in the future.

The two of them walked for another half an hour, from the dense peach forest all the way to the top of the mountain.

Now the peach grove is lush and the leaves are very lush, and it seems that if it is managed properly, it should be able to bear peaches next year.

Xu Jiao stood under the peach tree on the top floor, looked down the mountain, and saw that the peach trees on the mountain were like a green umbrella propped up in the mountain, and two artificial streams on the east and west sides of the mountain meandered down the mountain, and there were already people wearing hats fishing by the fish pond on the mountainside.

Xu Jiao nodded with satisfaction: "It's almost as expected, when the house is sold, the leisure and entertainment street at the bottom of the mountain should also be launched." ”

Dong'er stretched her neck and looked down the mountain: "What if these houses can't be sold?" ”

Xu Jiao glared at her: "Crow's mouth!" How is it possible that the house I built can't be sold? ”

Dong'er nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, it's only been half a year, and Miss has already sold half of the houses, and I don't think that in less than a year, these houses will be sold out." ”

Xu Jiao nodded: "That's natural, but just a few Yuzhou Zongmin and Jiang Yunfei, I still don't think it's enough, otherwise take advantage of the fact that the eldest prince is on the mountain to borrow some people from him, his subordinates are all business materials, and it is difficult to sell a house." ”

Dong'er: "Miss's statement sounds reasonable. ”
