"But the eldest young master, he is just a dirty little beggar," the coachman hesitated, "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to carry it into the house, right?" ”

"Stupid thing! It's not all your fault! The eldest young master scolded, "It's not appropriate to carry him in, is it possible to throw him at the gate?" Someone in the concierge checked who had been in and out at this hour, could I run away? ”

"Yes, yes, that's what the eldest young master said!" The coachman nodded and said, "I'll carry him in right away!" ”

The eldest young master thought for a while, and then ordered: "Listen, you get him in through the corner gate and put him in the lower room in the north courtyard, if he can come back to life, you can ask someone to grab two doses of medicine for him to eat; If they die, wait until it gets dark and then get them out of the corner gate and throw them on mass graves. ”

The coachman nodded his head again and again, and was just about to do it, when the eldest young master called him again and asked, "Old ladies and ladies, do you know how to say it?" ”

The coachman rolled his eyes and replied smartly: "Yesterday, the eldest young master stayed late in the school, and he was afraid that he would make a noise when he returned to the house, so he rested in the courtyard outside the house." When we returned to the house this morning, we met a little beggar who was injured by a car, and the eldest young master was sympathetic and rescued him back to the house. ”

The eldest young master nodded with satisfaction, lowered his voice and said, "Only you know about my trip to Qingyayuan, if it leaks out, that's what you said!" When the time comes, you are the only one who asks! The coachman was so frightened that he wiped his sweat, and the eldest young master lifted his placket and walked up the steps, and finally snorted coldly and confessed: "This afternoon, you go to find a coachman with a tight mouth outside the house, and let him drive in the future, and you give me a look." You useless thing, you can't even drive a carriage, but fortunately you just hit the beggar this time, and if you fall next time, you will die! ”

Three steps and two steps into the door of the mansion, because of the sleepless night and intense labor, the eldest young master Luo Baiqian is now very tired, he took the path and turned into the recording garden, wanting to go back to the room to make up for a morning. When he walked around the rockery, a person came to him, walking very fast under his feet, if it wasn't for Luo Baiqian stopping in time, the two of them almost collided.

Luo Bai raised his eyes, but saw that the person who came was a middle-aged beautiful woman, with a delicate and white complexion, a beautiful face, and a smile at the corner of her mouth, about thirty years old. A silver-patterned embroidered hundred butterfly flower skirt, covered with flowers and smoke Luo shirt, and a half-biased hibiscus Guiyun bun with gem-inlaid white jade flat square.

Luo Bai took half a step back and forth, and said with a smile: "The second aunt is really busy, and she is busy again in the early morning." ”

When the second lady Sun saw that it was Luo Baiqian, her face was suddenly full of smiles, and she said: "Even if our women are busy, they are just trivial things, unlike the men like the former brothers, who are running around all day long, and talking about big deals!" ”

Luo Baiqian said with a smile: "Where is the second aunt talking about, if the family is in charge and outside the family, where is it necessary to distinguish which is more important?" My father often praised the second aunt's good ability to manage the accounts, saying that we men were ashamed. ”

Sun Shi covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and smiled, when her eyelashes were closed, she noticed that Luo Baiqian's placket was slightly crooked, and just when she was about to remind him that she was upright, her eyes froze on the left side of the dark green gold-trimmed collar, which was......

Luo Bai was so sleepy that he didn't notice Sun's unusual eyes, and still said his own words: "The little nephew also has to learn economic arithmetic in school, and every time he is struggling to learn, he thinks of the senior role model of the second aunt, and he can't think about it well!" Yesterday, the little nephew was reading at night in the academy, and he had already beaten three times when he heard that he was going to come back late, so he took a break in the small courtyard on Front Street. Saying that, he couldn't help yawning, and hurriedly confessed, "The little nephew has lost his manners, the second aunt is able to work hard, and she is the busiest person in this family, the little nephew doesn't dare to occupy your time more, and I will go to ask the second aunt for arithmetic knowledge another day!" As he spoke, he made a gesture, and when he saw Sun nodding, he turned around and left.

Sun looked at his departing back with a smile, and suddenly shouted: "Brother ex, you stop!" ”

He Angelica raised his head and asked, "Girl, do you need me to call someone to help?" ”

The girl in red climbed the branch and looked down, and said hatefully: "Dead girl, you came out to seduce men at a young age, it's really shameless!" Don't you know that women who seduce other people's husbands are vixens and will go to hell after death! Don't be complacent, I'll be back! ”

He Angelica's eyes turned from light to dark, and he asked again coolly: "Hey, don't you really need to call someone for help?" ”

The girl in red was about to scold again, and the loyal cockroach slowly crawled out of the collar to cheer her on, successfully stimulating her fighting spirit, only to see that her light skills suddenly improved a lot, and a harrier pigeon stepped on the wall and jumped away.

He Angelica's hands were tightly tied behind him with thick hemp rope, and he couldn't break free after two struggles, so he simply didn't care about it, and walked out of the alley and went straight to the early shop. In other words, she just wants to have a full breakfast, why is it so full of twists and turns?

Along the way, He Angelica received the attention of all passers-by except for a blind uncle who asked for food, and where she walked, the walkers stopped, and the eaters could not swallow in their mouths. Ah, whose daughter is this? Born so handsome, I have never seen her in the past! I don't know what she did wrong, she was going to be tied up and paraded in the streets, ah, what a ruthless father!

"Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you! Who tied you up! ”

Facing Gao Jue's cool face, Zhenjing Shi swallowed a few spring rolls without knowing anything, and suddenly saw He Angelica walking in with his hands tied behind his back.

He Angelica's face was as usual, and he hurriedly said: "It's okay, you continue to eat yours." Seeing that the vermicelli soup she ordered was already on the table, she shouted at the back kitchen again, "Man, fry me four big rib forks, fry them a little older!" ”

Zhenjing immediately dropped the chopsticks to untie her, but the girl in red tied it in a very special way, and she couldn't untie it for a while. He Angelica turned his head to look at Zhenjing, who was struggling to untie the rope, and said, "Leave me alone, you can drink soup, we still have to be busy after eating." Saying that, she walked to Gao Jue, who was chewing on fritters with drooping eyelids, turned her back and asked for help, "Hey, Lord Gao, I'm tired." ”

Gao Jue squinted at the pair of snow wrists wrapped in earth-colored hemp rope, and was not in a hurry to untie her. Putting the last small piece of fritter into his mouth, he asked in a deep voice, "What about her?" Why didn't you bring her back? I don't believe you can't control her. There was some reproach in her tone, as if she was his subordinate and had an obligation to do things for him and watch over his sister-in-law.

He Danggui tilted his head back, blinked his eyes innocently twice, and said, "I'm really hungry, can I take a sip of soup and return to my adult's words?" ”

Gao Jue's face sank, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the oil on his hands, and finally stretched out his big hand slowly towards the knot...... A very magical scene appeared, Zhenjing's eyes were almost out of her eyes, ah! Is that some kind of witchcraft? It's incredible! The thick and tough hemp rope was just touched by Gao Jue's fingers, and it fell to the ground like a fragile incense ash that had been burned out.

He Angelica, who had regained his freedom with his hands, couldn't wait to take a sip of the vermicelli soup, feeling that the taste was too light, and swept it to the table, and there was a row of condiments against the side of the wall. So I grabbed them all, opened them one by one and looked at the contents, and then shook the salt, vinegar, peppercorn powder and chopped green onion into my bowl a little.

"Hey guest officer, the fork you want is here!" The guy brought up four crispy yellow and steaming forks, He Angelica thanked him, and he didn't care if his hands were hot or not, so he quickly pulled one of them into four parts and threw them into the soup, pressed them down with chopsticks and fished them up, and his small mouth moved forward, and he hurriedly picked up a piece and held it.

A large row of forks is obviously not something that can be solved with two small mouths, He Angelica buried his head in hard work for a long time, finally swallowed the first row of forks, and used chopsticks to clip the second piece, but when he raised his eyes, he found that Gao Jue and Zhenjing were staring at themselves with good eyes, and even their chopsticks were thrown aside.

"What's the matter, you're all full? No, the amount of food is so small! He Angelica pushed with his left hand, sent the remaining three forks to their side, and said generously, "I have a treat for this meal, you all eat more, don't be polite to me!" Then he lowered his head and drank the soup, and when he saw that they didn't mean to move his chopsticks, he frowned unhappily and said, "The plan of the day lies in the morning, you should throw off your cheeks and eat it while it's hot, you don't eat until it's cold like this, you're treating your stomach badly." ”

"Xiaoyi, why don't you report to Master Gao about that girl's situation before eating?" Zhenjing whispered to remind He Angelica.

He Angelica picked up a spring roll and took a bite, chewing while looking at the jade wrench finger in Gao Jue's hand, and suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Ah, it's not good!" ”

"What's wrong?!" Zhenjing and Gao Jue asked in unison.

He Angelica glanced at Gao Jue apologetically, and said, "Your cloak seems to have been forgotten in the back hall of the tailor's shop, why don't you go on a hard run by yourself to find the shopkeeper and come back?" ”

Gao Jue snatched He Angelica's spring rolls with his hand, and asked viciously: "What happened between you, where did she go?" ”

"If you snatch it, you will eat it, and it's a shame to waste food!" He Angelica glanced at the spring rolls that were pinched and deformed by Gao Jue regretfully, scratched his cheeks carelessly and said, "Speaking of that girl, she can fly, yes, it's really a good skill, and she flew away with a 'whoosh'." I guess she may have gone back to the Dahong Inn to take a bath. ”

"Dahong Inn? She herself said she lived there? What else did she say? Gao Jue forced her eyes.

"This is not what she said, but I guessed - I heard her mention Duan Gongzi twice before, as if she came to Yangzhou to find him, and although she found Rabbit Town, she didn't seem to know your specific whereabouts between words, and I didn't know that Duan Gongzi had already left. Later, I saw that she knew the tailor's shop so well that she didn't need me to lead the way, and left me alone just to ask for answers that you can't get from your mouth. On top of that, I noticed that the slightly worn embroidered shoes on her feet were exactly the same as those of the tailor's new floral cloth, most likely bought in that shop, and had been worn for several days, indicating that she had been in Rabbit Town for several days. Therefore, I guess she lives at the Dahong Inn. ”

He Angelica finished speaking in one breath, picked up a spring roll again, and said with a smile: "You are the general of Jinyi Wei who specializes in investigating and solving cases, and you will definitely not ask a stupid question like 'why is it Dahong Inn, not another inn'." We walked a few streets into the town, Dahong pawnshop, Dahong rice shop, Dahong winery, Dahong inn connected into a large area, the guy at the grocery store also said that Dahong Inn is the largest inn in the town. I guess that since the tall lady's sister-in-law is generous, she will reward me and the shopkeeper of the tailor shop with a silver coin each, and the store will naturally live in the best place. She probably saw you passing by in the inn, carrying a coffin on her shoulder, followed by two little girls, so she quietly followed behind, wanting to find out. ”

Gao Jue listened to her in silence, and the two thick eyebrows were twisted together, showing the deep displeasure of their owner, and finally he stood up and walked away without saying a word.

"Hey, Xiaoyi, is he angry? Who is he angry with? Zhenjing saw that Gao Jue had gone away, and hurriedly asked.

He Angelica pouted and looked at the spring roll that was pinched and flattened by Gao Jue and thrown on the table, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Regardless of him, let's eat quickly, and after eating, we can go to the money bank to save money." ”
