Feeling the vitality of Ningyuan County since early morning, Wang Xiaohu and the little maid Lotus, who had breakfast, walked all the way to the bluestone paved streets and walked in the direction of Baifu.

Looking at the mansion in front of him, which was more magnificent than the Bai family in the county seat, Wang Xiaohu stepped forward and listened to the person guarding the door ask politely:

"May I ask who Gongzi is, what is the matter with the Bai family?"

Wang Xiaohu heard the other party's question, hugged his fists and said: "In Xia, Wang Xiaohu, from Qinghe County, is the sworn brother of your young master Bai Shujian!" Please let me know! ”

After hearing the sound, the doorkeeper looked Wang Xiaohu up and down carefully, and then said eagerly: "It turned out to be Young Master Wang, the young master has already ordered, if you come, I will take you to see him directly", but then paused, and said with an apologetic face: "However, unfortunately, the eldest young master went out to run errands ten days ago, or you go in with me first and stay in the guest room for a few days!" ”

Hearing that Bai Shujian was not in the mansion, Wang Xiaohu frowned, and then said to the person guarding the door: "Since Brother Bai is not here, then it is inconvenient for me to disturb in the mansion, please ask this eldest brother to wait for your eldest young master to come back, and say on his behalf: Just say that I live in the Yuelai Inn in the county town, thank you!" After speaking, he took the little maid who was a little confused and prepared to go back to the inn first.

"Okay! Young Master Wang, the villain must bring the words! Then he watched Wang Xiaohu leave slowly, until he disappeared from view, and then said to the doorkeeper next to him:

"Lao Feng, you take a look at it for a while, I'll go and report the matter to Madame, now that the young master and the old man are not here, let's see if Madame has any arrangements!" After speaking, he walked to the house.

After a while, I walked to a courtyard with an elegant environment, it seems that although the yard is not big, but the layout is more delicate and elegant, it seems that the owner has put some thought into it.

When the gatekeeper came out of the courtyard, he said to a woman dressed as a maid inside:

"Spring rain girl, the villain Bai Er has something to report to Mrs., please report it on your behalf!"

Chunyu looked at Bai Er with a faint look in his eyes, walked out of the courtyard, and asked softly: "Bai Er, do you have anything you need to see Madame, if it's not something urgent, tell me first!" Madame is now concentrating on painting, so she should not be disturbed! ”

Bai Er thought about it and felt that it was not a big deal, so he told Wang Xiaohu about visiting the eldest young master.

After hearing this, Chunyu frowned and said, "Okay, I know, when Madame finishes painting, I will report it to Madame immediately, you go back first!" After speaking, he stuffed a piece of broken silver and sent Bai Er away.

Bai Er felt the broken silver in his palm, and left happily.

On the other side, Wang Xiaohu, who returned to the inn, said to the little maid lotus:

"You stay in the inn first! Or do you want to go shopping on the streets with me? ”

Lotus heard Wang Xiaohu's question, and hurriedly said, "Young master, can I go shopping on the street with you?" In addition, I am also familiar with Ningyuan City, and I know that there are many good places."

"Also, you have also lived in Ningyuan City for many years! Then go for it all together! Then the master and servant left the inn, and under the leadership of the lotus, they began to appreciate the prosperity of Ningyuan County.

……

"Young master, there are clothes sellers here, and sometimes the lady who sells clothes will give me some leftovers to eat! I remember one time I got a big piece of meat! ”

……

"Young master, this is a blacksmith shop, and it is said that Master Lu's craftsmanship is a must in this county! The weapons that are in short supply are in short supply! ”

Looking at the blacksmith shop in front of him, Wang Xiaohu said casually:

"Oh, you can come and see it later!"

………

"Young Master, have you seen the exquisite building in front? I heard that as long as a woman enters inside, she will not worry about food or clothing! ”

Wang Xiaohu looked at the three words "Baihualou" written on the plaque, and was speechless for a moment, but still asked a little strangely: "Then why didn't you go in!" ”

Lotus lowered her head and whispered, "Grandpa Qiu said that it was not good there, so he won't let me go!" ”

"Well, Grandpa Qiu!" Wang Xiaohu asked with some curiosity.

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's words, Lotus seemed to remember something sad, her eyes were red, and she said with some chokedness: "Grandpa Qiu died, for our children, he was starved to death!" ”。

After Wang Xiaohu heard this, his heart was shocked, and then he said casually:

"Oh, is it? It's a pity! He didn't seem to want to talk about the topic, and then said:

"Well, lotus, you're hungry too! Let's go get something to eat first! ”

"Well, thank you, young master, I know where to eat!" Hearing the food, the lotus flower instantly regained some of her vitality, and then happily led the way in front, as if she was going to go to the place where she thought it was delicious before.

Looking at the cheerful girl walking in front, Wang Xiaohu had a lot of thoughts in his heart, in fact, when he heard that Grandpa Qiu was starved to death for them in the mouth of the little maid, he felt a little inferior in his heart, because he admired such a person, but he couldn't do the other party's selflessness, so he didn't want to say more about these things, after all, he was still a selfish person.

In the end, the little maid took Wang Xiaohu to a small noodle restaurant that looked a little dilapidated, with five or six tables in it, and not many people ate in it.

"Young master, this is it! Aunt Zhang's minced meat noodles are delicious, I've eaten them before! After speaking, he looked at Wang Xiaohu and nodded, and walked to the noodle restaurant with ease.

"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, come with two bowls of minced meat noodles!" ，

Aunt Zhang, who was meeting each other, looked at a little girl who suddenly spoke very confidently in the store, and hurriedly agreed: "Okay, just wait a while!" Guests sit down first! Then she began to prepare two bowls of minced meat noodles, and obviously, Aunt Zhang did not recognize the little beggar in the past.

Wang Xiaohu also walked in, and the two of them found an empty table together, and sat down to wait for the delicious minced meat noodles in the mouth of the little maid.

Looking at the little maid who was a little depressed, Wang Xiaohu couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "What, I'm still thinking about your grandfather Qiu!" ”。

Who knows, the little maid shook her head and whispered: "It's not because of Grandpa Qiu, it's because Aunt Zhang didn't recognize me just now, and I'm a little sad!" ”

"Hehe, if it were me, I wouldn't recognize it, and when I didn't pay attention before, I thought you were a boy!"

"Oh! That's right, Grandpa Qiu used to let me pretend to be a boy, saying that this way it would not be easy to be bullied", after listening to Wang Xiaohu's words, the little maid suddenly realized, and then looked forward to Aunt Zhang's minced meat noodles!

"Two, your noodles are ready, slow down!" , Aunt Zhang took two bowls of noodles and put them on the table in front of Wang Xiaohu, then wiped her hands on the apron and said.

"Well, thank you, Aunt Zhang!" , The little maid said with a smile,

When Aunt Zhang heard the little girl's words, her face was full of doubts, and she didn't remember that she knew such a girl, but she didn't think much about it, and continued to be busy with her own affairs.

"Young master, you taste it, it's delicious!" After speaking, he began to eat the minced meat noodles in front of him in small bites.

"Well, that's good!" Wang Xiaohu, who had eaten a few bites, said to the little maid who was constantly picking up the ramen in his mouth, in fact, he felt that the noodles here were similar to those eaten in Qingniu Town, and they were not delicious, but he didn't want to hurt the little maid's mood.

The master and servant stayed in the noodle restaurant and slowly ate the so-called minced meat noodles, the small one looked satisfied, and the big one looked quiet.
