In the Tang Mansion, Tang Xiaohao, who didn't know that his father had just escaped from the Ghost Gate, was still cooking noodles himself. He squatted in the corner to choose vegetables, the iron pot on the stove next to him was boiling water, and the group of people in the kitchen were all standing outside watching.

Gongsun Fu, the chef of the Tang Mansion, was the apprentice of the imperial chef in the palace and was supposed to stay in the palace, but in order to show the royal family's love for Tang Chen and the Nanrong family, he sent this apprentice who had already been a teacher to the Tang Mansion.

After Gongsun Fu came to the Tang Mansion, the first person he got acquainted with was Tang Gongzi, because this kid was very interested in eating, so he stood in the kitchen and watched Gongsun Fu cook and cook, almost every day. Gongsun Fu originally thought that this kid was just curious, but he didn't expect that a month later, this kid began to cook by himself, and although the food he cooked was not as good as his own, his skills were far beyond that of himself when he was an apprentice.

In other words, it took this kid a month to reach the level of Gongsun Fu's apprenticeship for five years.

Although Gongsun Fu didn't want to believe it, the facts were in front of him, and he had to accept it. However, Tang Gongzi did not have the arrogance of the young masters of those high-ranking officials and nobles, if it weren't for his appearance and luxurious clothes, his usual words and deeds were no different from that of an ordinary person.

This is also the reason why those subordinates in the kitchen have an excellent relationship with Tang Xiaohao.

Gongsun Fu stood at the door and watched, and said to himself: "This kid is planning to make Jinyushan Precious Noodles?" When did he learn it? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Fu found that the original subordinates beside him were gone, and when he turned around, he found that those people were kneeling on the ground, because the eldest lady Tang Weige came over with a personal maid at some point.

Gongsun Fu also hurriedly bowed his head and stood on the side, he was also considered to have an identity, not a subordinate, so there was no need to kneel and salute.

Tang Weige said leisurely: "What are you doing standing outside?" ”

Gongsun Fu had no choice but to say: "The son is in the dining room." ”

Tang Weige handed the parrot that originally landed on his wrist to the maid, and then walked into the kitchen.

Probably because of genetics, the Tang family likes to keep pets, but the pets they like are different.

Tang Chen likes to raise large animals, and someone gave him a leopard many years ago, but he didn't expect him to tame the leopard, and he is still kept in the military camp of the Iron Guard. The eldest lady Tang Weige likes to raise birds, and her favorite is a talking parrot. The second lady, Tang Wangshu, likes to raise rabbits, and even sleeps holding her fat rabbit.

As for Tang Xiaohao, that is to raise cats.

Tang Weige slowly walked behind Tang Xiaohao, who was choosing vegetables: "What are you doing?" ”

Tang Xiaohao heard the voice of the eldest sister and immediately got up: "I'll cook a bowl of noodles." ”

Tang Weige frowned: "You cook noodles by yourself?" There's no one in the house, right? When this matter spreads, what do people think of our Tang family? ”

Tang Weige always looks arrogant, and his words and deeds always show his noble identity. Maybe because of her grandfather and mother, she looked down on her father Tang Chen in her heart. Therefore, she has always thought that she should be surnamed Nanrong, not Tang,

Tang Xiaohao smiled and said, "Eldest sister, don't worry, this matter can't be spread, isn't it boring for me?" I can't play outside every day, and the people outside hate me to death. ”

Tang Weige said: "You can, now you have become the number one scumbag in the imperial capital, I heard that you have harmed a lot of girls outside, and a few days ago there was another one with a big belly who came to look for you in front of the mansion, and then disappeared, what happened to you?" ”

The pregnant girl was also hired by Tang Xiaohao to act, and she was originally a juggler class, but it was precisely because she didn't stay in Shendu City for a long time that Tang Xiaohao hired her to act, so it was not easy to be discovered.

Tang Xiaohao deliberately smiled evilly: "No, how pitiful she is pregnant, I will find a way to find a good family for her to marry." ”

Tang Weige scolded: "Beasts are not as good. ”

Although Tang Weige was scolding, he felt in his heart that as long as Tang Xiaohao continued like this, he would definitely be a waste, and when the time came in the future, he would be beaten to death by those angry people without their hands.

Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and said: "What's the matter, the husband I found for that girl is very good, the man is already in his forties, and he has no children under his knees, isn't it good for me to let him save his strength and be a father?" ”

Tang Weige turned around and left, took two steps, stopped, and turned around: "Don't make trouble recently, you also know that your second sister is about to marry into the Ji family." ”

Tang Xiaohao said with a smile: "I know, eldest sister, don't worry, I will keep to myself and be a lovely child recently." ”

Tang Weige shook his head and left, but Tang Xiaohao took a long breath, and it can be seen from Tang Weige's direct use of the word "Ji family" that the Nanrong family really doesn't take the royal family seriously.

——

Tang Xiaohao personally returned to the room with the tray placed in the noodle bowl, and after putting down the tray on the table, he looked back at the courtyard again, and found no other living creatures except for the fat cat Jelly Bean chasing butterflies.

Tang Xiaohao closed the door, and after dropping the latch, he was about to call Wu Tianlu on the bed, but found that Wu Tianlu was already sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating with his eyes closed, and the whole person was much better than before.

Tang Xiaohao stepped forward to look at Wu Tianlu, who was meditating, and knew that he was meditating, so he whispered, "Eat noodles." ”

At this time, Wu Tianlu was concentrating his magic power on his chest and abdomen, which was considered a way to heal his injuries, but in fact, it was only a symptom but not a cure, temporarily relieving the pain. Because the two feet that were kicked by the man in black yesterday would have been fine if they were just ordinary kung fu, but it was obvious that the man in black had concentrated his magic power on his feet when he made a move, otherwise, Wu Tianlu would not have been injured so badly.

Tang Xiaohao saw that Wu Tianlu didn't react, so he directly raised a finger and poked it, and found that his skin had become as hard as a stone, so he subconsciously said, "Isn't it?" Such a profound kung fu with a copper head and iron arm, who is this guy? ”

Tang Xiaohao pondered for a while, opened the door and called Jelly Bean, then hugged Jelly Bean to Wu Tianlu and said to Jelly Bean, "Scratch him." ”

Jelly Bean glanced at Tang Xiaohao, raised his paw and gently scratched Wu Tianlu, but did not leave any scratches on the surface of his skin.

Tang Xiaohao said: "The concentration is good. ”

Afterwards, Tang Xiaohao picked up the jelly beans and pointed them at Wu Tianlu: "Nourish him with your cat urine!" ”

Jelly Beans were stunned, and tried to turn their heads to look at Tang Xiaohao, clearly wanting to say: Big brother, I can't pee out now!

Tang Xiaohao didn't care so much, because he knew that cat urine, especially adult male cats, was amazingly lethal. He once threw a thief into a box covered in cat urine, and the thief didn't survive half an hour before he foamed at the mouth and fainted.

At this moment, someone pushed the door, and Tang Chen's voice came from outside the door: "Open the door!" Haven't gotten up yet? It's all three poles in the day! ”

Tang Xiaohao panicked, hurriedly threw the jelly beans on Wu Tianlu, and then said in a low voice: "Look at him, don't come out!" If you dare to come out, you will eat stewed cat soup at night! ”

Jelly Bean's eyes widened in fright, and he curled up on Wu Tianlu's body.

Then, Tang Xiaohao dropped the curtain on the bed, and hurriedly took out the girl's belly pocket that was ready at any time from the box next to him and threw it on the ground, and threw a pair of embroidered shoes, and also placed a bottle on the table with "A good man who stands up to the sky", and then messed up the clothes, and then stepped forward to open the door.

As soon as he opened the door, Tang Xiaohao saw Tang Chen's serious face: "Dad, why are you here?" ”

Tang Chen entered the house directly, and just as he was about to say something, he saw the belly pocket and embroidered shoes next to the bed, and his eyes naturally fell on the closed tabernacle.

Tang Xiaohao pretended to be embarrassed next to him: "That, I'll do it, you know." ”

Tang Chen turned to look at the disheveled Tang Xiaohao: "You are not small, you actually brought the girl home, you went out again last night?" ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "Yes, I was just about to go to bed last night when I heard the sound of selling outside. ”

Tang Chen said coldly: "Selling sound? Selling? ”

"Dad, how can you be so vulgar?" Tang Xiaohao looked serious, "It's a medicine seller." ”

After that, Tang Xiaohao picked up the bottle on the table: "What sells is this 'good man who stands up to the sky'." ”

Tang Chen took the bottle and sniffed the bottle: "What kind of medicine is this?" ”

Tang Xiaohao thought for a while and said: "Strictly speaking, it belongs to the blood circulation and blood stasis and swelling, and you also know that when a certain part of the body swells, it will become extremely uncomfortable. ”

Tang Chen looked at Tang Xiaohao coldly.

Tang Xiaohao continued: "I heard that the clamor was very miserable, so I went out over the wall to check. Unexpectedly, as soon as I landed, I saw a poor girl who was not well dressed. I wanted to give her some money, but the girl wanted to fend for herself, and told me that if she wanted to help her, she would buy her medicine, and told me about its miraculous effects. Dad, how could someone as smart as me believe it so easily? So, she decided to demonstrate it herself, and that's the whole thing, right? ”

Tang Chen snorted coldly: "I'm afraid this medicine doesn't aggravate the swelling, right?" You're only eighteen years old, and you're eating this kind of stuff? Your father and I are forty-eight years old, and we stand up to the sky from morning to night every day! ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately said, "Really? How? I always thought that at your age, you had already lost your basic dignity as a man, and I originally wanted to give this bottle of medicine to your father. ”

Tang Chen raised his hand and was about to fight, when a cat meow came from the bed.

This cat meow immediately attracted Tang Chen's attention, and also made Tang Xiaohao, who had originally raised his arm to block, break out in a cold sweat.

Tang Xiaohao immediately stopped in front of Tang Chen: "She's singing." ”

"Singing?" Tang Chen frowned, "Why?" ”

Tang Xiaohao had to continue to talk nonsense: "Recently, there is a very famous song called "Learning to Meow" in the imperial capital, she likes it very much, she sings it when she has nothing to do, and she has to sing it when she applauds for love, it's unreasonable, right?" That's right, you know, I've always liked this kind of unreasonable, mysterious strange woman! ”

Tang Chen looked at Tang Xiaohao with suspicious eyes, Tang Xiaohao could only grin, sweating like rain.

At the same time, Wu Tianlu on the bed was shrinking at the foot of the bed, staring at the jelly beans that were sitting there not far away, tilting his head and looking at him. Because Wu Tianlu was very afraid of cats, he almost died on the spot after he woke up just now and found out that he had a cat on him.

Tang Chen didn't bother with who was on the bed, but said to Tang Xiaohao, "Come out with me." ”

Tang Xiaohao hurriedly went out, closed the door, and followed Tang Chen to the garden.

After Tang Chen stood still, he turned to look at Tang Xiaohao: "Yesterday, at the West Gate, did you let a sentry guard of the Shendu Army let in a few beggars, and for this, you gave them two silver dragons?" ”

Tang Xiaohao was shocked, knowing that something must have happened, otherwise his father would not have asked like this.

Therefore, Tang Xiaohao said directly: "Did something happen to those beggars?" ”

Tang Chen told him what happened this morning, and Tang Xiaohao's face sank after hearing it, and he was very uncomfortable, because he knew that if he hadn't done this more yesterday, the sentry guard would not have died.

Tang Chen saw Tang Xiaohao's face full of sadness, and he couldn't bear to reprimand him anymore: "Don't meddle in your affairs in the future, if it wasn't for that sentry who hit him to death today, I'm afraid the two of us have been framed by Mu Yinghao on trumped-up charges." ”

Tang Xiaohao raised his head and said: "Dad, yesterday I was outside the city, I saw the two people from the Nanrong family chasing a young man riding a white horse with two swords, I later heard the sentry guard say that the young man was still holding the waist card of the iron guard, and I also thought that person was very familiar, later, I saw the group of beggars running hurried by, I wondered if there was some kind of connection in this, probably because of this reason, I let the sentry guard let the beggar into the city." ”

When Tang Chen heard this, he raised his hand and slapped Tang Xiaohao in the face, Tang Xiaohao was directly beaten stupid, but he also knew that he deserved this slap.

Tang Chen pointed at Tang Xiaohao and said: "You knew that something was wrong, but you didn't stop it, but let that group of beggars enter the city, you are afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" What's going on in your head? ”

Tang Xiaohao lowered his head and said: "Dad, it's my fault, I didn't think about it so carefully at the time, I just thought that the group of beggars was very pitiful, if you don't enter the city, sleep outside the city, you are allowed to be dangerous, you know, there is a murderous madman outside the city recently." ”

Tang Chen was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, and almost raised his fist to beat him, but he still held back. Because this catastrophe started because of Tang Xiaohao's kindness, and because of his kindness, if it weren't for the fact that he was too good at being a man, the sentry would have sold their father and son a long time ago.

Tang Chen said: "From today onwards, you can't take half a step out of the mansion and reflect in your own side courtyard. ”

Tang Xiaohao had to bow his head and say, "Yes." ”

Looking at Tang Chen's distant back, Tang Xiaohao felt very sad, but immediately remembered Wu Tianlu, who was the leader of the beggars. He wondered, what the hell did these beggars do? Are they tracking down the two people from the Nanrong family, or the young man with the Iron Armor Guard Card?

Tang Xiaohao pondered for a while, returned to the room, and saw that the tent was still closed, so he lightly opened his other cabinet, took out a bottle from it, poured two drops of the potion in it into the noodle bowl, and then brought it to the bedside: "Eat noodles quickly, it's all lumpy." ”

When the tent was opened, Tang Xiaohao found a person and a cat shrunk at the head and foot of the bed respectively, vigilant to each other - Wu Tianlu, who had a fierce face, squatted at the foot of the bed and took an attacking posture, and the innocent Jelly Bean stood at the head of the bed with two front paws raised and trembling.

Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu and Jelly Beans respectively, and then asked Wu Tianlu: "What do you want to do with Jelly Beans?" ”

Wu Tianlu, who was half frightened, said: "You should ask what that cat wants to do to me!" ”

Jelly Bean jumped out of bed directly, hugging Tang Xiaohao's ankle and trembling.

Seeing Jelly Bean get out of bed, Wu Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Xiaohao took the opportunity to hand the noodle bowl to Wu Tianlu: "Eat noodles." ”

Wu Tianlu was also really hungry, so he ate the noodles.

Tang Xiaohao hugged the aggrieved jelly beans on his face, looked at Wu Tianlu who was gobbling up, and secretly calculated the time of poison in his heart.
