"I haven't asked this son's surname yet, can I tell me my real name?"

The mink man asked solemnly, Xiaobai shook his head and was laboriously chewing the sauce beef, completely ignoring it. The man in Tsing Yi was angry, took a step forward, and was about to reprimand, but he was swept by the mink man's eyes, and he suddenly didn't dare to move a single bit.

Chunju in the back room suddenly interjected, and said: "His name is Xiaobai, and he is a little beggar who our young lady thinks is pitiful and taken in, Childe, he has nothing to do with our young lady!"

Chunju's mouth was fast, Zhuang Meiyan frowned and scolded softly: "Rude! ”

The mink man didn't mind, bowed his hand, and said again very politely: "There is no double end Mu Hao in the next, dare to ask the son's surname?"

Zhuang Meiyan's heart exploded. Duanmu is a national surname, and only the royal family can use it, could it be said that this noble prince in front of her is actually a member of the royal family? She knows very little about the royal family, although she can't sit in the right seat, but she also knows that there is a clear distinction between the two sides, the status disparity, and the other party is an unattainable nobleman.

Duanmu Hao's respect is undoubtedly to Xiaobai, playing the piano to the cow. He leisurely and happily took advantage of Zhuang Meiyan's inattention to pinch another piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into his mouth, and at the same time smiled at the guest, rolled his eyes, and was very rude. The sauced beef was brought by Duanmu Hao's Tsing Yi entourage, and the taste was particularly fragrant.

Zhuang Meiyan came back to her senses and hurriedly apologized for Xiaobai.

"I'm sorry, Duanmu Gongzi, please don't be surprised, it's not that Xiaobai is rude, but I'm afraid he doesn't know who he is and where he comes from. ”

She poured a glass of warm wine and offered it to Duanmu Hao with both hands, and at the same time narrated Xiaobai's origin. Duanmu Hao nodded slightly and sighed after hearing this.

Zheng Guogong is also a generation of heroes, who defected to a foreign land, but ended up like this. ”

Zhuang Meiyan's face was full of doubts, and Duanmu Hao explained: "Zheng Guogong of Wuyang Kingdom is a person from our peerless country, wise and brave, defected to Wuyang Kingdom twenty years ago, and was regarded as a guest by the lord of Wuyang State. Wuyang was originally a reckless land, and Zheng Guogong made great contributions to the ignorance of the people. Unexpectedly, after 20 years, he was beheaded all over the house, and more than 200 lives were lost in Zheng Zhiyuan's thoughts. ”

"I heard that his sixteen-year-old grandson Zheng Wenhao is handsome, eloquent, and eloquent, and is a rare prodigy talent. Zheng Wenhao was exempted from the death penalty, but he could not escape the living crime, and he was reduced to slavery and sent to the frontier to serve hard labor. I don't think that this Zheng Gongzi will be exiled here and taken in by you. ”

Zhuang Meiyan had never heard of these things he said, and he was shocked and suspicious when he heard it, and turned his head to look at Xiaobai, who was munching beside the brazier, like a cunning child, where were there any signs of wisdom and talent.

Duanmu Hao sighed very lightly, his eyebrows knotted slightly, as if a light cloud was cast between his eyebrows, Zhuang Meiyan saw it in his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt melancholy.

Duanmu Hao used his slender and white fingertips to pick the blood jade accessories on Xiaobai's chest shaped like cat pupils, held them in the palm of his hand, and touched them softly.

"This is the eyes of the snow fox, made of the jade heart of the 10,000-year-old blood jade, the color is very pure, and the 10,000-year-old blood jade can only be collected in the depths of the jade mountain of Wuyang Kingdom. The snow fox is smart, and the people of Wuyang believe that only wise people are worthy of the heart of the snow fox, and it is said that the eyes of the snow fox made of this blood jade jade heart were given to Zheng Wenhao by the lord of Wuyang for his birthday. ”

Duanmu Hao narrated the origin of the blood jade pendant on Xiaobai's chest, and Zhuang Meiyan understood why Duanmu Hao suddenly decided that Xiaobai was that Zheng Wenhao. But depending on who he is, it's all a thing of the past now.

Duanmu Hao and Xiaobai ate wine in the hall, Zhuang Meiyan and his mother and Chunju used some food in the back room, and the mother slept quietly, and Zhuang Meiyan and Chunju twisted needles to do embroidery. Unconsciously, the sky outside gradually darkened, and Zhuang Meiyan faintly heard the sound of reading in the next room.

It was the immature voice of the seventh brother, although the seventh brother had not been studying in the school for a long time, he was very attentive, and Zhuang Meiyan had also taught him some words before. Because he now lives in a remote mountain like Phoenix Nest, he can't find a suitable gentleman to teach the seventh brother for a while. Zhuang Meiyan wanted to make more money, so that he could ask the seventh brother for more guidance.

Listening to the sound of the seventh brother reading, Zhuang Meiyan felt relieved. After a while, the seventh brother Zhuang Rongxi stopped, and listened carefully, Rongxi seemed to be talking to someone.

Zhuang Meiyan put down the needle and thread in her hand and opened the curtain. I saw that next to the brazier in the hall, Xiaobai was lying on a rattan chair, sleeping very sweetly. The east side of the hall is separated by a wooden hollow partition, which is the living room of the seventh brother Zhuang Rongxi. The man guarding the door was none other than Yufeng in green clothes, his face was grim and he was looking ahead.

Zhuang Meiyan came to the door, and seeing that Yufeng had no intention of avoiding it, she had to stop and glance into the house. In front of the simple desk in the back room, the handsome man in the white robe stood tall and stood behind Rong Xi, watching Rong Xi practice calligraphy. When he looked up by chance, he met Zhuang Meiyan's gaze, smiled softly, and beckoned her to come in.

"Brother Ling's words are not clumsy, but he has his own aura, why don't you send him to the academy to study?"

Zhuang Meiyan replied: "The mountains are remote, too far away from the town, and it is not very convenient to travel. Mother loves her younger brother and is reluctant to let him go away. ”

Duanmu Hao nodded slightly and said, "I'm going to live in Qiyang for a while recently, and I just have time to give Brother Ling some advice, are you willing?"

Zhuang Meiyan was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled Zhuang Rongxi over and asked him to kneel down and kowtow to Duanmu Hao.

"Thank you for your teachings!"

Zhuang Rongxi just knelt on the ground, but someone behind him snorted coldly: "Slow! Master, how can this be done? He is just a grass people, how can he worship you as a teacher, I am afraid that it will not conform to the rules." ”

The one who spoke was none other than Yufeng, who was guarding the door.

Zhuang Meiyan pursed her lips and said softly to Zhuang Rongxi: "If you don't kowtow to Mr., it is a one-day teaching, and it is enough for you to use it for a lifetime." ”

Looking at Rong Xi kowtowing, she smiled and said to Duanmu Hao again: "Childe's kindness, charm and younger brother are unforgettable, since Childe lives in Qiyang, he must have important things to do, how can he delay for some trivial things." ”

Duanmu Hao's eyebrows were a little cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Yufeng, you have learned to talk more! Go and stand outside, without my orders, don't come in!"

"Yes!" Yufeng's tone was still respectful, and he turned around and walked outside without hesitation.

Duanmu Hao eased his color and looked at Zhuang Rongxi who was kneeling on the ground kindly, Zhuang Rongxi had already finished kowtowing and turned his head to look at his sister blankly. Duanmu Hao calmly sat in the chair and said, "Is this the end? The apprenticeship is only half done, and even the tea ceremony is saved?"

This person's popularity is graceful, his identity is unspeakably expensive, Zhuang Meiyan had no intention of climbing high, so he politely declined, but Duanmu Hao was very stubborn and insisted on accepting the seventh brother. Zhuang Meiyan was naturally happy in her heart, and hurriedly agreed, and made hot tea for Rong Xi to offer with both hands, which can be regarded as a bow to the teacher.

Duanmu Hao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Charming girl, how to calculate this fee?"
