Ye Ming took the old man to a room, looked at him coldly, and said in an unkind tone, "This is the guest room in our house, you can stay here." ”

The old man held the lamp, looked into the room, and nodded, "This room is good." ”

Ye Ming rolled his eyes, unwilling to pay more attention to him, snorted coldly, turned around and left.

The old man was not annoyed, but went into the house with the lamp, took off his shoes, lay down in his clothes, and muttered, "That roasted pigeon tastes really good." ”

Early the next morning, before the rooster in the yard woke up, the old man happily wandered around the Hou Mansion.

Zeng Tianya was squatting in the vegetable garden to water, and Yun Heng was standing by the well carrying a bucket.

The old man suddenly appeared and startled the two of them.

"This dish is really good, it's green."

"This fruit looks good, can you eat it?"

"This water has to be boiled before I can drink it, and I happen to be thirsty, so you can go and pour me a cup of tea."

"This chicken looks really strong, take advantage of the morning, kill it quickly, it's lunch."

The old man walked slowly down the path with his hands behind his back, pointing the same thing after another, as if he were ordering food in a restaurant.

Zeng Tianya and Yun Heng didn't know what happened last night, let alone who he was, they glanced at each other and clearly saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Seeing that this strange old man was staring at the chickens he had raised since he was a child, Zeng Tianya's face sank, and he threw the water scoop into the bucket with his hand, and said loudly, "Who are you?" ”

The old man didn't seem to notice the malice in him, and grinned, "I'm naturally from this mansion." ”

"You're from our house?" Yun Heng looked at him, his eyes full of suspicion, "Except for Uncle Wang, who poured swill in the outer courtyard, our mansion is not as old as you." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Zeng Tianya instantly became vigilant, his fingertips touched the short blade on his waist, and said in a low voice, "Say!" How did you get into our house? ”

"I came here last night, and your wife personally asked me to stay." The old man smiled and replied in a deep voice.

The appearance of the hippie smiling face obviously didn't take the two of them seriously.

Ye Ming heard the movement, hurried to the backyard, and saw that the three of them were deadlocked, and immediately sank his face, "What are you doing here?" There's no work left in hand, is it? ”

Zeng Tianya pursed his lips, pointed at the old man and shouted, "Who is this person?" I came to the backyard early in the morning to point fingers, and I had to eat a handful of and urine to raise a fortune! ”

Ye Ming was stunned when he heard this, glanced at the rooster named Fa Cai not far away, his face was stupid, he turned his head to look at the old man, his brows furrowed even tighter, "Good and dignified, what are you staring at that chicken?" ”

The old man was not convinced, and looked at him with his chin tilted and nostrils, "You were also present last night, so naturally I heard your wife's words, and invited me to dinner, but she took the initiative to invite me, since she invited me, I decided what to eat." ”

"Our lady is beautiful and kind-hearted, but she is just polite to you." Ye Ming's face was pale, and he glanced at him fiercely, "Besides, what are you going to do?" Fortune was raised by him as a father and a mother since childhood, if you eat it, someone is looking for you desperately, I can't stop it. ”

The old man looked at the rooster cowering in the nest, glanced at Zeng Tianya again, snorted coldly, raised his feet and went elsewhere.

"Who is this old man?" Zeng Tianya was puzzled, pointed to his back and asked, "What ability does he have to be worthy of his wife to keep him for dinner?" ”

Ye Ming shook his head, his face was helpless, "The master's thoughts, let us guess the sky, we can't figure it out." ”

"Your big goose has also gained some weight, and it is best to stew it in an iron pot."

The old man's angry laughter came from the distance again, Ye Ming's expression was clear, and the secret way was not good, so he ran away to save Brother Goose.

Su Zi stood beside the bed, serving Fang Xu to wash his face, his face was worried, "Madam... The slave has something to tell you......"

Fang Xu took the handkerchief from her hand, wiped the water droplets on his face, and said softly, "If you have something to say, just say it." ”

Su Zi was worried again and again, but still asked, "Yesterday, the old man was extraordinary, Bai Ji and Ye Ming together were not his opponents, does it really matter if such a person is left in the mansion for the night?" ”

Fang Xu sat up straight, threw the handkerchief in the basin, and said in a flat tone, "Last night, I saw the jade pendant tied around his waist, and the color was definitely not the ordinary jade that was common on the market. ”

Su Zi reacted instantly, and asked in a low voice, "Madame, do you think that old man has a good identity?" ”

Fang Xu bowed his head, "The timing is very coincidental, I thought he was Prince Rong, but looking at his temperament, he doesn't look like it." ”

Su Zi blinked his eyes and said a little speechlessly, "Madam, Prince Rong has never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas, how could he break into other people's mansions alone in the middle of the night for the sake of a mere appetite?" Although he is not a serious prince, he is also a prince! ”

"Here's the blame." Fang Xu frowned and pulled the corners of his mouth, "The martial arts are so high, they must not be ordinary people, but if they are nobles, how can they do these things?" ”

Just when the master and servant were confused, Bai Ji opened the door curtain, squeezed in, and whispered with a hint of cold air, "Madam." ”

"Early in the morning, what are you going to do?" Fang Xu sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked back at her with a smile in his eyes.

Bai Ji grinned and brought the gossip of the early morning, "The old man left yesterday is very annoying, either to eat Zeng Tianya's chicken or to eat the goose sent by Lord Shen, the backyard is noisy and endless, Zeng Tianya is so angry that he almost started to do something with him, and the slave maid went to take a look." ”

Suddenly mentioning the word Lord Shen, Fang Xu was stunned for a moment on his face, and then he couldn't help but think that he and he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Seeing that Mrs. was distracted, Bai Ji's face was puzzled, and her heart was fast and her mouth was faster, "Madame, but you miss Lord Shen?" ”

Su Zi coughed violently and secretly poked and shook her with an eye knife.

Bai Ji also realized that he had said the wrong thing, pursed his lips, and did not dare to say anything more.

"I think so."

Fang Xu's words fell in the room, causing the two little girls' eyes to widen.

The initiator didn't think so, raised his head to stare at Bai Ji, and asked softly, "Do you have any news of him there?" ”

Hearing his wife talking to him, Bai Ji came back to his senses and hurriedly responded, "Two days ago, the informant came to report, saying that Lord Shen arrived in Zhuo County to inspect the disaster, and accidentally encountered a refugee riot, wrote to the emperor, dismissed the local county official, and dug out a lot of money from the corrupt official. ”

"Now the disaster in Zhuo County has been temporarily taken over by Lord Shen, and he has performed well, Changfan has heard the prince mention it, saying that the emperor praised Lord Shen for half an hour." Bai Ji's eyes smiled like a crescent moon, and he said crisply, "The prince also said that when Lord Shen returns to Beijing, it is a certainty that he will be promoted!" ”

Hearing this, the corners of Fang Xu's lips raised imperceptibly, and he said softly, "In this way, it is the best." (End of chapter)
