Chapter 90: The Little Handmaiden
Looking at the nearly ten-zhang high city wall in front of him, and the tall city gate below that kept swallowing the flow of people, Wang Xiaohu was a little shocked and slowly walked to the city gate.
"What the hell, take out the letter card!" There were soldiers at the door who maintained order and shouted to Wang Xiaohu,
"Well, my lord, this is my lettercard!" After speaking, Wang Xiaohu handed over the letter card opened by the county government when he left Qinghe County,
"Oh, from Qinghe County, next!" After speaking, he returned the letter card to Wang Xiaohu, and there was no bloody city gate incident.
"Thank you, sir!" After taking the token, he slowly followed the flow of people and slowly entered the Ningyuan County City.
"Ha, there are really a lot of people, looking at this, it is estimated that a million people are not a problem, but there are more people and more things, I hope there is what I need here!" After finishing speaking, he walked slowly on the street, and he was not in a hurry to find Bai Shujian, but prepared to understand the situation in Ningyuan County first.
Two hours later, Wang Xiaohu, who was tired of strolling, looked at the sky that was already a little twilight, found a good-looking inn, and prepared to eat something to comfort his somewhat empty stomach.
"Childe, are you going to eat or stay in the hotel!" As soon as Wang Xiaohu entered the door, a shopkeeper came forward to ask enthusiastically.
"Dinner, prepare another upper room for me!" Wang Xiaohu said casually.
"Okay, wait a minute, guest officer!"
A quarter of an hour later,
While eating, Wang Xiaohu listened to the chatter of the other guests in the inn.
Suddenly, there was a piece of news that caught Wang Xiaohu's attention, and he heard someone with good deeds say:
"Haha, have you heard? The young master Bai Shujian from the Bai family is rumored to have entered the supreme innate great master realm! ”
When the people at the table heard the words of their companions, their faces were full of astonishment and disbelief.
"Boss Jin, you won't lie! How old is Bai Shujian, if my guess is right, I'm only fourteen years old this year! Even after the New Year, he is only fifteen years old, and you said that he has broken through the innate now! So we have practiced for decades, have we all practiced to pigs? Someone couldn't help but question out loud, and everyone else in the inn also turned their heads to look at the Jin boss, obviously this news was more shocking.
Noticing the looks of the people around him, Boss Jin was extremely proud in his heart, and then said:
"Hehe, eight or nine are not far from ten, I heard the subordinates in the Bai Mansion say that when Young Master Bai broke through that day, there was a vision in the sky, so everyone guessed that he had broken through to the innate realm, otherwise he would not have produced such a vision!"
"Ah, I also heard that the Bai family had a vision, but I didn't expect it to be Young Master Bai who broke through to the innate realm, haha, we have another innate great master in Ningyuan County!"
"Little Er, wine, good wine, I won't get drunk today!" When someone heard the news, their faces were full of excitement, as if he had broken through.
"Hehe, this brother is right, today is a good day! Little two, give me good wine too! ”
Wang Xiaohu, who was eating next to him, guessed in his heart: "With Bai Shujian's personality, he shouldn't do this!" I don't know why? Because Wang Xiaohu didn't have any vision when he broke through the congenital, at this time I heard someone say:
"I heard that in order to celebrate Young Master Bai's success, the Bai family specially invited many Jianghu martial arts people to gather in Baifu after half a month, and I heard that the Drifting Snow Sword Sect was also invited!" Someone said loudly.
"Ahh I don't know if this time is the Snow Fairy, according to legend, her beauty is the first in the deserted state."
……
Listening to the lively words in the restaurant, Wang Xiaohu said in his heart, it was really a big gain, and after a while, the big guy began to discuss other things, of course, most of them were trivial things.
After eating, Wang Xiaohu walked out of the inn alone, preparing to visit the night market in Ningyuan County, and at the same time, he was also preparing to buy some gifts, planning to go to Bai Shujian tomorrow, otherwise it would be too boring to be idle all day long.
Half an hour later, Wang Xiaohu stood at the door of an attic, looked at the familiar name on it: Sihai Tower, and then walked in.
"Guest, do you need to buy something? Our Sihailou things are the most complete, and the quality is also the best! Buying is guaranteed to make you satisfied! ......" The guys from Sihailou kept introducing some more famous things to Wang Xiaohu.
Wang Xiaohu walked around the entire Sihailou with his buddy, but only bought a beautiful gift box, and walked out of Sihailou under the strange eyes of the guy, because he didn't find anything good to give after looking around! In the end, I decided to give away the family's favorite trick!
Wang Xiaohu walked slowly on the street alone, observing the style of the county, and he found that the county town was also seriously polarized, there were beggars begging on the roadside, and there were also high-ranking officials and nobles with fat stomachs, and all kinds of people performed a picture of the daily life of the people in the county.
suddenly
"Big brother, give me something to eat!" An eight or nine-year-old boy looked at the baked cake he had just bought in Wang Xiaohu's hand.
"Oh, here you go!" Wang Xiaohu, who didn't think much about it, casually put the baked cake in the little boy's hand, and was about to turn around and leave, but heard the little boy say a little timidly:
"Big brother, do you lack a maid?".
Hearing the maid, Wang Xiaohu retracted his steps, turned around with some curiosity and looked at the boy who was a little scared, only to find that this was a girl, but her body was too dirty, or she deliberately pretended to be a boy.
Wang Xiaohu said with a deep smell: "What's your name!" ”
The girl said with some eagerness: "My name is Xiaocao, and I will do a lot of things!" Laundry, cooking, sweeping can be done! ”。
Wang Xiaohu shook his head and said, "I can do these myself, and I don't need to be a maid like this!" ”
"Big brother, please, as long as you take me in, I'm willing to do anything! It's true! The girl said with some anxiety on her face.
Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Oh, that's it! Well, congratulations, you've captured your own destiny, so come with me! Hope you won't regret it in the future! Wang Xiaohu, who seemed to have made a decision, turned around and walked towards the inn.
"Well, thank you, big brother! I will be obedient in the future! The girl cried with some joy, her eyes were full of hope and said, she felt that she had met the legendary good person, just like Grandpa Qiu said, and then hurried to catch up with the figure in front.
When Wang Xiaohu returned to the inn, he asked the little second brother to boil a bucket of water, asked the lady of the inn to help Xiaocao wash her body, and ordered someone to buy some clothes for the little girl to wear, and at the same time prepared some food!
……
Looking at the girl who was standing in front of him with some restraint, Wang Xiaohu found that she had changed into new clothes, and after taking a bath, she looked quite good, her skin was a little fair, Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "Yes, it looks a little bit!" ”
Then he commanded: "From now on, you will be my little maid!" I'll ask someone to teach you what you should learn! You just have to study with peace of mind, and don't think about the rest! And I'll give you a name: Lotus," and then let her go to the inner room to sleep.
"Well, thank you, young master!" Xiaocao, or lotus, said with gratitude on her face, and then obediently ran to the bed inside to sleep, feeling the warmth in the quilt, and soon fell asleep with a happy smile.
