Chapter 43: Treacherous Waves

"Young master, yesterday there was a sneaky person around the mansion, I was going to take him, but the chief manager told me not to act rashly first, I have to make an idea. He Hanwen returned from Lu Zhi's place, and before he entered his yard, Da Niu came to report in a hurry.

"Manager Wang?" He Hanwen frowned suspiciously and thought for a moment before reacting. "Oh, you mean it's a tide, it's good, staring at me is like a fly in a latrine, too many to kill. The situation here is complicated, and Lang Chao'er can be regarded as a spirit, and it is right not to act rashly, have you sent someone to keep an eye on it? Are you sure it's a person?" He finally remembered, "Lang Chao'er" was just a nickname, everyone called it that, but he remembered that on the way to Zhuozhou, Lang Chao'er told Xiaozhu that he seemed to be surnamed Wang, and although he had no formal appointment, what Lang Chao'er was doing was indeed similar to that of a housekeeper - I'm afraid this name was arranged by Xiaozhu.

"You wait for the report first, Xiaozhu, bring a bowl of tea, and go and call the tide. He Hanwen was very hot, he didn't want to discuss these things at the gate, he had to go into the house and act recklessly.

So, He Hanwen took the Da Niu Ward to find the tide, and then trotted all the way into the house. When the servants saw that their master had returned, they saluted one after another, but he only waved his hand casually and did not stay long.

As soon as he entered the house, he threw off his shoes, took off the headband that bound his hair, fell down on the couch, and stretched out without manners.

"Stupid fellow, you're ignoring etiquette again. Li Shen jumped down from the beam, and then leaned over to He Hanwen's side, also turning his stomach on his back.

"Hmph, when did I care about this, but the etiquette of the laity, can it still restrain me?" He Hanwen stretched out his hand to scratch Li Shen's stomach, but was slapped away by Li Shen's paw. "You stink, don't touch meow. ”

He Hanwen: "Okay, okay. Da Niu said that someone was sneaking around in our house yesterday.。。。 Oh, Xiaozhu, you've just in time, bring me a cup of tea first. As He Hanwen was talking, Xiaozhu pushed the door in, so He Hanwen immediately beckoned Xiaozhu to hurry up and bring the tea.

Xiaozhu: "Young master, you are acting recklessly. Xiaozhu complained, but brought the tea to He Hanwen's mouth and waited to drink tea, He Hanwen enjoyed it very much.

Xiaozhu: "Young master, you can save some to drink, there is not much tea in the house, and it will be gone after you finish drinking." Where are the ordinary people, they only take it out when they entertain distinguished guests!"

He Hanwen: "I've always been like this, and you don't know it. At home, I like to be so presumptuous, and I don't have any scruples in front of you, because I already have you as a family. Of course, you see, even when I go out of this house, I have done enough etiquette. ”

Xiaozhu: "That's what the young master said, but... How can I say it? The concubine always felt that the young master seemed to be different from ordinary people. ”

Ho Hanwen: "It's nature. But, alas... Tea is such a good thing and comfortable. If only there was a Coke... ”

Xiaozhu: "The young master said some strange things again, and the concubine didn't understand it at all." ”

He Hanwen: "Well, I mean, tea is really a good thing, this drink can cleanse the soul, taste it, and coke it!"

Xiaozhu: "I see. But you will soon be left with this drink to enjoy. ”

Ho Hanwen: "It's okay, I think I can get some from other ways." Okay, that's the end of the gossip, Xiaozhu, you let the tide help you manage the housework?"

Xiaozhu: "Of course, the concubine thinks that there are more men in the house, and it is inconvenient to manage. ”

He Hanwen: "Well, you did a good job. Da Niu reported that there were thieves snooping around the mansion, is there such a thing?"

Xiaozhu: "It's true, but the concubine hasn't heard of the details, so Chao'er must be clear." ”

He Hanwen: "Call him." ”

By the time Langchao'er came in to report, He Hanwen had already put on his shoes and sorted out his appearance.

Lang Chao'er: "Young master, there was a thief yesterday night, sneaking around at the back door of the mansion, peeking in. Da Niu first reported this information, and the little one followed the young master all the way and encountered a lot of such situations, so he ordered Da Niu to keep an eye on him, but don't startle the snake. ”

He Hanwen: "Confirm it's coming for us?"

Lang Chao'er: "Confirm, the man arrived in the middle of the night, pretending to be drunk and lost, but Da Niu saw that he was short and had no alcohol on his body, I am afraid that he came for us, but I don't know which one he is." ”

He Hanwen: "I know, you have done a good job, let me think twice about this matter, and you will retreat." ”

Tide: "Whew." ”

Lang Chao'er saluted, and then exited the house, leaving only Xiaozhu and Li Shen in the house, of course, he didn't know Li Shen's true identity, just thought that He Hanwen wanted to discuss with Xiaozhu, he couldn't help but think that his master really valued Xiaozhu, and he would keep the woman by his side when making decisions.

However, what Chao'er didn't know was that He Hanwen left Xiaozhu in the house only because she knew that Li Shen was actually an immortal - this is how he explained to Xiaozhu the identity of Li Shen's cat demon.

He Hanwen: "Li Shen, what do you think?" ”

Li Shen: "It's not a cultivator, it's just a small person who doesn't know where, just dispose of it as you like." ”

He Hanwen: "This is easy to do, as long as you are not a cultivator, I have my own way." Xiaozhu, we don't know who instigated this person, but in a few days I will go to the suburbs with Dr. Lu to hunt deer. But be careful, it's better to lose than wake up, and never let him find out. Let Langchao'er arrange someone to do it, Li Lei's kid is excited, and let Langchao'er take him. But be careful, if the other party plans to break the net and harm our servants, you can kill them. ”

Xiaozhu: "Wow." ”

"Hanwen, why is it late?" Gongsun Chan had already prepared his hunting knife and bow and arrows, and he wore a pair of durable round-soled cowhide boots, which looked like they had been polished. He Hanwen had never seen boots in the Han Dynasty, let alone made of leather. However, he is not surprised that there are always deficiencies and omissions in the history written by later generations, and it is normal that there is no record of the craftsmanship of leather boots. However, He Hanwen knew that leather shoes had been unearthed in tombs in the Han Dynasty, which made him not too surprised to see the boots worn by Gongsun Zhan.

Facing Gongsun Zhan, who was majestic on a horse, He Hanwen just replied: "I am not good at riding, and there are no good horses in the house, I am afraid that Brother Zhan will laugh at him, so I borrowed a mare from the post station." ”

Gongsun Chan replied with a smile: "Hanwen is too worried, I like to ride and shoot, so I have the family heirloom bow ready, and Hanwen is not good at horseback riding, we all know it." ”

He Hanwen: "It's Hanwen's heart, Brother Xuande has a fierce dog, and Brother Zan is good at riding and shooting, it seems that we can return with a full load today! Why don't we compare archery, Hanwen is not good at riding, but archery is acceptable!"

Gongsun Zhan: "Okay! Let's look at Hanwen's archery!"
