Chapter 188: Verification step by step
Li Zhuo knew very well that with the status of master and apprentice, he would become a closed disciple of the old monk. But in addition to the senior brother who returned to the west, the living senior brother is already an old man, and as a junior brother, he must have the responsibility to shoulder the honor and disgrace of the sect.
Some people like to be high in power, and some people like to be free and unrestrained, and Li Zhuo belongs to the latter.
This time, for the sake of Xuanbao, Li Zhuo agreed to the old monk's request to become a closed disciple of the monk, which was equivalent to changing his life.
Xuanbao's eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, but the little doll held back and didn't let the tears fall, because the fifth uncle said "don't cry".
"It's alright, Xuanbao." Li Zhuo touched the little doll's cheek, "Life is very long, the future is unknown, the fifth uncle is not a gentleman, it is also interesting to be a disciple of a monk." ”
"Fifth uncle, the old monk doesn't want you to become a monk, right?" Xuan Bao asked what she cared about the most, if this was the case, she would not be able to live with her grandfather and grandmother.
Li Zhuo's eyes widened: "It's already difficult to be a lay disciple, and you still want me to become a monk?" No, no, hurry up with good wine and meat, the fasting of Tianlong Temple is so delicious that the gluttonous worms in my stomach are about to rebel. ”
"Winter snow, summer rain, hurry up and eat delicious."
Xuan Bao smiled, two crystal tears fell with her laughter, Li Zhuo stretched out his fingers and wiped left and right, wiping away the tears for the little doll.
This time, the four maids started together, and soon a full table was set, and Li Zhuo ate it as if he had been hungry for eight hundred years, but at the same time he also took care of the little doll.
After a while, the dishes on the table were empty, and Xuanbao motioned for the maids to clean up.
"Fifth uncle, when did the old monk say he would see me?"
"You have a good rest tonight, and I will pick you up tomorrow to see the old monk." Li Zhuo slowly stood up with a reluctant face, "It's time for me to go back to the palace and show my face in front of your grandfather and grandmother." ”
Xuan Bao joked: "The fifth uncle has been missing for several days this time, and I think my grandfather may have planned to break your legs." ”
"Little doll with no conscience, I still have good legs, at least I can help you run errands." Li Zhuo responded with a smile.
Seeing Li Zhuo cross the threshold, Xuan Bao stopped him: "Fifth uncle, about the fact that you are a closed disciple of an old monk, I think it is better to tell my grandfather." ”
Li Zhuo's footsteps paused for a moment, he didn't answer or turn around, just waved his hand and left.
"County lord, the fifth uncle seems to feel a little different." Dongxue whispered.
"It's all because of me." Xuan Bao finally stopped hiding his guilt.
Xia Yu had a different opinion: "County Lord, maybe in a few years, the fifth uncle will thank you." ”
Xuan Bao thought about it and said lightly: "Maybe." ”
After sleeping and eating, Xuanbao sat down and supported himself on the arm of the chair thoughtfully.
The characteristics of people who have been tricked by puppetry are that their eyes are dull, and there is a small black spot in the whites of their eyes.
Xuan Bao thought about it, but he still felt that the eldest brother Xiao Kezhong and Xiao Mingzhu were the most suspicious, because there were not many people who could make the fifth brother Xiao Kaili obey and maintain, and the appearance of the two of them was already a big problem.
Looking out the window, it's already night, I don't know how the second brother is investigating? Xuanbao is eighty percent sure in her heart, if Xiao Kexiao excludes that it was her own people who leaked the news, then she will be completely sure.
"Xia Yu, go to the gate of the courtyard to see if the second brother or Ah Wang is here." Xuan Bao commanded.
Dongxue motioned to Xia Yu not to ask more, and when she saw that she was ordered to walk towards the courtyard gate, she turned around and entered.
"County Lord, are you going to be busy again tonight?" Dong Xue touched Xuanbao's cheek distressedly, "You've lost weight recently." ”
"I'm getting taller." Xuan Bao diverted Dongxue's attention and simply stood on the chair, "Take a closer look, if I am much taller, it won't be long before I can be as tall as Brother Shun." ”
Dongxue pierced Xuanbao: "Your Second Highness is now half a head taller than you, and if you want to be as tall as him, you have to eat more and sleep less worry." ”
"It's okay to eat more, I'll try to sleep more, and as for worrying less, I don't want to worry about it." Xuan Bao crossed his hands in front of his chest, "No way, I hope I don't have to worry about it anymore after worrying about this time." ”
Seeing Xuanbao pretending to be old, Dong Xue burst into laughter, but there was irrepressible distress in his eyes.
At this time, Chunhua came in with Xiao Keren: "County Lord, the third prince is here, Xia Yu asked me to tell you, she is waiting outside." ”
"Hasn't the second brother come yet?" Xiao Keren sat down familiarly.
Now there is no need to pay attention to those false courtesies for the second brother and the third brother Xuanbao: "Did the third brother come here from his mother's house?" ”
"Yes, I haven't had dinner with my mother for a long time, and I will sit for a while after dinner, and I will leave with Mingzhu."
"It's rare that you can spend most of your day with your mother."
"We talked a lot, and even talked a lot to each other, I feel that I seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about my mother in the past, and after this heart-to-heart detailed discussion, the mother and son seem to be a lot more intimate."
"Yes, get along more and talk more to understand each other."
"By the way, fortunately, let's pay more attention, Xiao Mingzhu went to Qinse Courtyard and left when he saw me there. After dinner, she went again, and it was clear that she would not stop until she had achieved her goal. ”
"Why is she so ruthless, she bothered to worry about her mother."
Xiao Keren saw that Xuanbao was angry and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the result is very unexpected." ”
"What result? Even if you can stop today, you can't stop tomorrow, can't you still accompany your mother every day? ”
"I originally told my mother that Xiao Si was sick, but I didn't expect Xiao Mingzhu to rush to say that he had encountered something unclean."
Speaking of this, Xiao Keren couldn't help laughing: "Guess what mother's reaction is?" ”
"Oh? What is the mother's reaction? Xuan Bao asked happily following Xiao Keren's words.
Xiao Keren pointed his voice and imitated his mother, Lord Rouping: "Xiaosi is sick, I want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and take a look." If you really come across something that is not clean, it will be easy to do, Keren, you go to Xuanbao and talk to her. ”
Xuan Bao was stunned, and when she came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Keren's ridiculous eyes, she couldn't help laughing. It's amazing, it's amazing, it turns out that she is so powerful in her mother's mind.
"You don't know, Mingzhu was stunned when she heard her mother's words."
After Xiao Keren finished speaking, he continued to imitate the Lord of Rouping County, with a smug tone in his tone, "There is nothing that our Xuanbao can't deal with, Keren, if she does what she tells her, just tell her what she needs." ”
Finally stopped laughing, Xuan Bao said: "I can imagine Xiao Mingzhu's ugly look and how embarrassed he looked at that time. ”
