Chapter 226: They're Growing
Li Zheng's new home in Wave Hutong is heavily guarded, and the white tiger cousin with a knife is three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry.
It can be said that under the seven grades, no one quietly entered the Li Mansion without Li Zheng's consent.
Of course, the mule must have been an accident.
He walked into the Li Mansion alone, flicking his sleeves.
The guards of the White Tiger Hall along the way saw him and greeted him respectfully.
There is no one who dares to interrogate him without opening his eyes.
Because of the last person with such an iron head, he was rewarded by Li Zheng with two big mouths.
In Li Zheng's own words: "Blind your dog eyes, you don't even recognize my own brother?"
"Brother Mule!"
A crisp female voice came from the side.
As soon as the mule turned around, he saw Li Youniang coming out of the room.
She rolled up her sleeves, and her hands were a little watery, but the emerald green skirt was refreshing and refreshing, without any dirt.
She didn't tie the pigtails that the little girl only tied them, and her long black and shiny hair was braided into a neat big braid, which was on her left shoulder, and she looked like a big girl.
The little girl who was just as tall as the stove back then grew into a big girl in a blink of an eye.
The mule greeted with a smile: "Young lady, how about you stew chicken soup for your sister-in-law again?"
"Uh-huh!"
Li Youniang saw the mule, and her face was not half a point, and the eldest girl saw the shyness that a man should have, and asked generously, "Where are you from?"
How could the mule not know what she meant, this girl was running around in Zhang's Mansion when she was a yellow-haired girl, her little bit of caution, the old men of the bloody clothing team and the bloody knife team in the past, which one didn't know?
"Don't ask me, I've been so busy that my feet don't touch the ground for a while, and I haven't seen Master Chu for several days. ”
The mule said with a smile.
He knows this girl's thoughts, and he knows his eldest brother's thoughts even better, how dare he talk nonsense.
"Oh......"
Li Youniang was a little disappointed, but then she cheered up and asked with a smile: "What about my godmother?" How is her old man's health recently, I have been busy serving my sister-in-law recently, and I haven't visited her old man for a few days. ”
The mule sighed lowly, shook his head slightly, and said, "The old lady is not very neat these days, and she has been resting in bed for several days. ”
"Huh, can I go over?"
Li Youniang suddenly felt a little happy.
When the mule saw her like this, he wanted to tell her not to think nonsense, but Chu Ye only regarded you as his own sister, and he couldn't bear to say it, so he could only nod reluctantly.
"Of course you can, the old lady has always raised you as her own daughter, and now her old man's health is not good, you go to look at her old man, it is righteous, no one can say anything...... But when you go out, it's best to say hello to your brother and ask him to send a team of brothers to escort you. ”
"Uh-huh, I'll talk to my brother later. ”
Li Youniang's eyes fluttered and nodded, and her mind didn't know where to drift for a long time.
"Okay, I still have something to do with your brother, aren't you still stewing soup in the pot, why don't you go in and have a look?"
The mule said.
Li Youniang suddenly came to her senses, "oops", turned around and hurriedly ran to the room.
The mule smiled and shook his head.
Although she tried her best to dress herself up as a big girl, she was clearly still an ignorant little girl.
He turned and walked straight to the backyard.
Generally speaking, men are generally not allowed to enter the backyards of other homes, and there are taboos.
But the mule had no such concerns.
In other words, between these old brothers, they don't pay attention to this.
Not to mention Li Zheng's family, even if they went to Zhang's mansion, they could enter the backyard.
It's called the good of the family.
As soon as she stepped into the backyard, the mule saw the big-bellied Hua Gu sitting in a rocking chair from a distance, and Li was squatting in front of her, with her ears close to her belly, smiling like a fool.
He blindfolded his eyes and shouted teasingly: "Oh, who is this, it's so greasy and crooked in broad daylight, oops, I shouldn't have a needle's eye, right?"
"Roll the calves!"
When Li Zheng heard the voice, he scolded with some unbearable expression on his face, "Lao Tzu is greasy and crooked in his own home, do your!"
The mule smiled and lowered his hands, and saluted Hua Gu from afar: "Sister-in-law, how are you feeling lately?
With Li Zheng's support, Hua Gu stood up slowly, and said with a forced smile: "Uncle Tuo is worried, everything is fine with the concubine, and the child is also very well-behaved, so I am reluctant to toss the concubine." ”
She smiled a little forcefully.
It's not that she doesn't like mules as a person.
But she knew that when the mule came, her beloved was going out to cut people......
"Mule, sit by yourself, there are pumpkin seeds fried by the young lady over there, you can grab them yourself, and I will send the flower girl back to the room to rest first." ”
Li Zheng was very arrogant, how could he notice the subtle expression on Hua Gu's face, and only cared about greeting the mule happily.
"Go, go, go!"
The mule was not polite to him, and went to the chair next to him, grabbed a small handful of pumpkin seeds and slowly ate them.
Li Zheng helped the flower girl with a melancholy look between her eyebrows and eyes into the house.
The mule looked at the backs of these two people, and the professional habits that the Blood Shadow Guard had cultivated over the years allowed him to see the clothes and ornaments of these two people at a glance.
Li Zheng wears a small crown of tiger head and hair, which is pure gold and not light, and the white tiger stripe robe he wears is the top fabric of the time-honored gold thread clothing village in Nancheng, and the satin mille-feuille boots under his feet seem to be the craftsmanship of Hua Gu, but the materials are also very willing.
And Hua Gu's golden jade bead hairpin, at a glance, you know that it is a boutique in Wu's jewelry store, and the white fox fur on her body is draped, just those few white fox skins are enough for an ordinary family of four to eat and drink for a few years without worry......
Looking at the two of them, who exuded the smell of a big dog from top to bottom, the mule couldn't help but think of what they looked like when they first saw them.
Li Zheng is unkempt, yellow and thin, and lacks a front tooth, as long as he smiles, it is extremely funny.
Hua Gu was in tattered clothes, wrapped in a blackened rag in her hair, and had a swollen face......
This suddenly made him think of another question.
If they hadn't followed Chu Ye at the beginning, what would they be like now?
The mule pondered for a long time, and then suddenly smiled.
If he hadn't talked to Chu Ye, he would still be selling rock sugar gourds in the cattle and sheep market now, and he would have been busy working early and late every day for the dozen or so scattered big money.
"Why are you laughing so lewdly?"
Li Zhengwei smiled and walked over to him and sat down.
The mule raised his eyes to look at him, and said in his heart, if he hadn't followed Chu Ye, he would have been killed and thrown into some gutter, right?
"Didn't laugh at anything!"
The mule forced a smile and said, "There is something to do, can you get out?"
Li Zheng didn't answer his question, but asked directly: "Say, who to do!"
The mule took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Li Zheng: "These three bandit villages, there are nearly eight hundred people in total, what Chu Ye means...... Chickens and dogs don't stay!"
Li Zheng took it and took a look, and without asking why, he directly put the note into his sleeve: "Then I will take people out of the city today." ”
The mule shook his head: "Chu Ye said, the people of the White Tiger Hall of Jintian Mansion can't move, I have already transferred 600 people to you from the district and county eight rudders, you only took a few powerful henchmen out of the city on this trip, and went directly to Liujia Town outside Jintian County to meet them, and when you are done, you have to bring these 600 people back to Jintian Mansion...... Don't worry, when the time comes, there will be a brother from the Blue Dragon Hall to pick you up. ”
"No problem!"
Li Zheng nodded, not feeling that it was difficult to lead six hundred strange subordinates to attack the three bandits, "Then you wait for me for a while, I will clean up for Hua Gu, and later you will help me send her and the young lady to Chu Ye's house to live for a few days, she has a big belly at home, I don't worry, the young lady's girl is clumsy and clumsy, and she is not stable." ”
The mule felt that this was more secure, after all, without Li Zheng in charge, the White Tiger Hall gang of killers might turn out how much the sky would come, and it was not safe to continue to leave Hua Gu and Li Youniang, the two female streamers, in the jackal pile.
But he always felt that Li Zheng's idea seemed to have ulterior motives!
What's the matter, Chu Ye treats you as a godbrother, but you want to be Chu Ye's eldest brother?
