Xiao Chengyufu stood up straight again, turned his back to her, and seemed not surprised by her words.

"Yao Yun, you listen to the Bendu protector, since you are married to the Bendu protector as a concubine, you are born as a person protected by the city, and you are also a ghost protected by the city when you die, and you can only be the Xiao family in life and death, and the rest is not for Xiao to think."

When he turned to leave, he walked to the door and paused again, but finally shook his head and left.

Since that day of quarreling, Yao Yun and Xiao Chengyu have not seen each other for seven or eight days. The subordinates of the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate were all sharp-tongued and sharp-eyed, and they knew about the fierce dispute between the two of them that day, but they were very knowing. However, there are also a few bold gossip subordinates who secretly discuss in private, curious about how long this concubine who doesn't know how to lift and doesn't know how thick the sky can show off her might.

Since that day, Yao Yun has never stepped out of Fuyun Courtyard for half a step.

Although the three meals a day brought by the people are not rich, they can still have more food and clothing, and they can be safely satisfied if the amount of clothing is deducted. Yao Yun didn't know if this was Xiao Dadu's order, or if it was a self-made proposition by the people to look at people's eyes. But as long as he is not in person, she is the most comfortable. She eats lightly every day, sleeps well every night, concentrates on painting and practicing calligraphy when she has free time, and teaches a few juniors to read and read when she chats in every way, which can be regarded as a happy and leisurely place.

After spending more than ten days in such a plain and peaceful manner, there is a lively and happy little cutie in the yard. It is a whisk dog with black and white coat, a petite and cute body, and a curly and wagging tail. The whisk dog is a precious thing specially raised by Gao Changguo, and a hundred years ago, it was even a precious tribute that only had the opportunity to see the style in the Chang'an court.

Just a few days ago, Xiao Er led a few guards outside the courtyard and shouted loudly that Du Hu had unintentionally lost a valuable puppy, so he wanted to use this reason to look for it in the house, but he was only halfway through the search and suddenly said that he had something important to leave first.

She sneered in her heart, it turned out that she was here to watch a good show for her! It's a pity that she didn't appreciate it, and picked up the puppy and insisted on sending it back to them.

"Xiao Er's guard, such a precious thing, my humble concubine doesn't dare to take it at will, you quickly take her away!"

"Mrs. Yao, this, we can't take care of a group of big guys, and ask Mrs. Yao to take care of it, so we won't bother!"

"Let's go, let's disperse!"

Xiao Er was worried from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly put down the two bags of livestock to eat and ran out. In this way, even if she doesn't want to receive this love, she has to accept it.

People outside privately scolded her for not knowing how to lift and not knowing the height of the sky, but in fact, they were scolding her for not protecting face, and she didn't take the initiative to go to Qingsong Courtyard to bow her head and admit her mistakes for so many days. She didn't care at all, but she was overjoyed to have this clever and adorable puppy.

"Alas, Mrs. Yao, today's food is still rice porridge and bread, the rice porridge was cold when the slave maid went, and it was taken back after it was hot, and Mrs. Yao ate it while it was hot." Bai Lu carefully arranged today's lunch, but there was a little dissatisfaction in her words.

Yao Yun raised her eyes and looked at the food for lunch, it was still exactly the same as the lunch two days before, no wonder Bai Lu couldn't help but complain. Now that there is no one in the house in the house, the people are acting more and more arrogantly.

"It's okay, just a few bites. If you can't get enough to eat, you can go out later and buy some delicious food. ”

Bai Lu set up the dishes and chopsticks, and inadvertently remembered today's lively events: "Yao Niangzi, the front hall of the Duhu Mansion is a little lively today, and the slave maid heard that a person from Beijing has come." ”

Yao Yun was stunned, and suddenly put down the half-seen "Youyang Miscellaneous" in his hand, his eyes were eager but a little hesitant.

"Bai Lu, you say it again, who is from the capital?"

"Yes, an official from Beijing." Bai Lu was surprised and delighted, it had been a long time since she had seen Yao Niangzi's sober and energetic face.

"Can you see this man with your own eyes? What does this person look like? ”

"Back to the lady's words, the slave maid didn't see it with her own eyes, but I heard the guards in the front hall say that this Lang Jun is heroic and elegant, and he must not be an ordinary person!"

She was cautious but uneasy, and hurriedly asked, "Is there any movement in the dungeon ahead?" ”

"The slave and maid heard from the doorkeeper in front of her, as if the official had come for the guards."

Yao Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled her dress and got up, waving her hand to let her quickly wait for the change of clothes and makeup.

"Yao Niangzi, then this lunch ......" Bai Lu's eyes widened, completely confused.

"It doesn't hurt to eat later, this matter is the most urgent. Come on, Bai Lu, do you think it's better for me to comb a flowing cloud bun, or to pull a double-ring bun......"

In just a quarter of an hour, Yao Yun had already changed into a chest-length shirt skirt with a sum-colored silk pattern and a wide-sleeved embroidered blouse stained with white marble, pulled on a beautiful and moving flowing cloud bun, and finally pinned two tasseled hairpins with jade smoke and silver blue lotus patterns. The delicate lady in the bronze mirror has completely restored her former brightness and brilliance.

Yao Yun led Bai Lu to the front hall in a hurry, and all the subordinates along the way bowed their heads and saluted, and their faces under the darkness were all dumbfounded, feeling that this concubine was finally willing to bow her head and go to soften.

After turning around the lush corridors and courtyards in seven or eight places, the two finally came to the small door on the other side of the front hall.

Yao Yun frowned, suppressing the strange thoughts in his heart.

She lowered her voice and asked, "Didn't you say that the front hall was very lively, why is this place so quiet now?"

"The slave maid was indeed very lively when she passed by here, and she was personally received by Du Hu!"

Her eyes sank, and she quickly led her to turn around and walk in the direction of the dungeon, with brisk and joyful steps. Maybe it's going to the dungeon to get people.

As soon as he walked outside the reconstructed dungeon courtyard, the footsteps of the Lang Jun came and went. She was very excited in her heart, it seemed that Mr. had come here to look for someone in person, and Xiao Chengyu had no reason to detain the innocent people indiscriminately.

"Old Tang Dynasty Book: Gaochang Biography" records: "In the seventh year of Wude, Gaochang King Lu Wentai offered a male and female dog, six inches high, more than a long ruler, very wise, able to drag a horse and a candle, and the cloud was out of the country. China has a whisk dog, and it has been since then. ”

The "whisk dog" belongs to the sharp-beaked silky dog, which was first domesticated in ancient Greece. According to historical records, in the early Tang Dynasty, some people in China began to raise "whisk dogs" and called them "Kangguo Lizi", "Bai Xuelier" or "Huazi". In the middle of the Tang Dynasty and before, the fashionable and expensive act of domesticating the "whisk dog" was limited to the court, but the intelligent and cute image of the "whisk dog" was widely spread in the market.
