Chapter 187: The Fifth Uncle Brings Back News
Xuanbao set his eyes on Xiao Kexiao, what the third brother said is not impossible, it depends on the second brother.
Xiao Kexiao smiled proudly: "I naturally thought of what you said, and I have long ordered the little servants to stand alone for dozens of feet ......." ”
Halfway through speaking, Xiao Kexiao suddenly slapped his head and raised his voice: "Oops, I almost forgot." Ngawang, Ngawang, pass on my word and let them withdraw quietly. ”
After speaking, Xiao Kexiao turned around and emphasized: "I dare to guarantee that no one in the courtyard can come out to report the news, of course, unless it is not a person." ”
Xiao Keren smiled and preemptively said, "Where are so many people who are not people?" ”
Xuan Bao listened thoughtfully and said: "There should be no one to report the news, so seeing that everyone else is quiet, it proves that the news has not been leaked." But the eldest brother and Xiao Mingzhu arrived quite quickly. ”
Now, Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren heard it, Xiao Xuanbao focused on this for a long time.
"Second brother, you are checking carefully, since there is no one to report the news, could it be that your people have their eyeliner."
"I'll check, but it's unlikely, these people are the people I bought in for training these days, relatively speaking, the background is simple, the most important thing is that they just follow orders, and they don't know the reason at all."
Xuan Bao was silent after hearing this, and Xiao Keren was a little anxious: "Don't you even believe in the second brother?" ”
"Third brother, I naturally believe in the second brother." Xuanbao's expression was serious, "It's just that if the second brother's people are okay, then the fourth brother's puppet technique is only afraid that the eldest brother and Xiao Mingzhu will not be able to get rid of it." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren both showed expressions of disbelief, calmed down and thought about it carefully, they had to admit that what Xuan Bao said was reasonable.
"I'll go and investigate it thoroughly, and I'll have the results tonight at the latest." Xiao Kexiao stood up.
Xiao Keren also stood up: "I'll go to Qinse Courtyard, I don't have anything to do today, I will accompany my mother more." ”
"The third brother is really thoughtful." Xuan Bao gave Xiao Keren an appreciative look, he was afraid that his mother would be worried about knowing about the fourth brother, so he rushed to prevent someone from deliberately telling her.
"I'll rest for a while." Xuan Bao waved his small hand, "I'm going to think about the puppetry." ”
Although Xiao Kexiao and Xiao Keren didn't say anything more, Xuanbao knew that the two brothers pinned all their hopes on themselves.
Dongxue sent the two sons away, and when she returned, she saw Xuanbao slumped directly on the chair and closed her eyes tiredly, and Xia Yu signaled her to silence and quietly covered her with the thin quilt she brought.
The two maids tiptoed to close the door and sat quietly in the room, each taking out a needle and thread to get busy.
Xuanbao is really asleep, she is talented, but after all, she is still a little doll, and she will be tired after spending too much mental energy.
When she woke up, Xuanbao found that the skylight looked a little dark and dreary, she turned her head and found that it was already evening, and she didn't expect that she had slept for so long.
Everyone doesn't know that for Xuan Bao, it is rare to be able to sleep every time and wake up naturally, because she spends almost all of her time cultivating, and in the space, she is working day and night to improve her strength, and occasionally when she is tired, she will drink some spiritual liquid and eat some pills and the like.
"Winter snow, summer rain."
Hearing Xuanbao's call, the two maids turned around and hurried over with concern and waited for them.
The spring flowers and autumn moon outside also got busy when they heard the movement, and hurried down to bring the meal that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Xuanbao." A man called upside down from the window.
"Fifth uncle, although it is almost dark, it is not completely dark, you are careful to be treated as a thief." Xuan Bao didn't need to look at it to hear Li Zhuo's voice.
Li Zhuo jumped into the house with a somersault: "I'm tired." ”
"I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know where to play, and I dare to say that you are tired." Xuan Bao rolled his eyes at Li Zhuo, "What did I let you do?" ”
Sitting down on the chair, Li Zhuo shouted: "Xia Yu, hurry up and serve tea to my uncle, and serve some delicious food, preferably salty meat dishes, Lao Tzu's mouth will fade out of the bird." ”
"Leave him alone." Xuan Bao deliberately stirred up, "The fifth uncle wants to find something to eat, and the third uncle has to go there, and his restaurant has everything that needs meat, elements, sweetness, and saltiness." ”
Xia Yu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a guest at the door, it's too particular, we still have general dishes in Lingyun Yuan." ”
"Go, go." Li Zhuo waved weakly at Xia Yu and then turned his face to face Xuanbao.
Only then did the little doll find that Li Zhuo looked more haggard and tired than ever, even if it was a big battle, he was afraid that he would not look like this.
"Fifth uncle, what bad things have you done, why did you make yourself so embarrassed?"
"Little doll with no conscience, your fifth uncle confessed for you."
"For my business?" Xuan Bao raised his voice, obviously a little disbelieving.
Li Zhuo sighed before he said: "The old monk closed the door and disappeared, and your fifth uncle and I couldn't afford to kneel outside, and he knelt for two days and two nights before he was willing to see me." ”
"Why doesn't the old monk see you?"
"He calculated that I had something to ask for, saying that I was already an outsider, regardless of the worldly things."
Xuan Bao was stunned for a moment and then said melancholy: "In this way, the matter has not been done. ”
"How so? Since I promised you, it will be done. Li Zhuo's face was full of sorrow, "I'm soft and hard, and the old monk has no choice but to bet with me." ”
"Bet on what?" Xuan Bao raised his eyebrows slightly, very curious.
Li Zhuo waved his hand, and the corners of his mouth hooked up to wipe reluctance and helplessness: "Don't mention it, don't talk about eating fast and chanting Buddha with the old monk, but also learn a set of mental methods he taught." ”
"Huh? That's it? Are there any other conditions? Although Li Zhuo said it easily, Xuanbao made it clear that he didn't believe it.
Turning sideways and leaning his body, Li Zhuo and Xuanbao looked at each other across the coffee table, and the little doll didn't blink his eyes, stubbornly waiting for his answer.
"It's nothing." Li Zhuo sat up straight, his body and his head turned around, "It's that I officially worship the old monk as a teacher." ”
Xuan Bao was stunned and then reacted, the little doll reached out and grabbed Li Zhuo's arm, and the smile that was originally on his face disappeared.
"Hey, what's going on? Xuanbao, you don't think you're going to cry, are you? Li Zhuo hurriedly stepped forward and touched the little doll's head helplessly, coaxing, "Don't cry, don't cry, there is a fifth uncle in everything." ”
A pair of small hands grabbed Li Zhuo's big hand, and Xuan Bao, who was sitting on the chair, tilted his head and looked moved: "Fifth uncle, I'm sorry, it's all for me." ”
"It's none of your business." Li Zhuo blurted out, but when he met Xuanbao's clear eyes, he couldn't help but shift his gaze and didn't dare to look at him.
The little niece is too smart, the old monk and Li Zhuo have been masters and apprentices for many years, but they have no status as masters and apprentices, just because he is unwilling to be bound by various rules and responsibilities.
