"Boom!"
As if a house collapsed, the old bustard's round body fell heavily on the stone floor, even the dust on the ground was blown up.
Impressively on top of the old bustard was a huge dark gray dog, strong in build, resembling a gray wolf, grinning, and the thick white teeth made people shudder.
The crowd around fell silent for a while, and it was unknown who was the first to shout excitedly: "Wolf! There are wolves!"
The crowd was clamoring, but the next moment, someone said disdainfully: "What wolf?! This is a dog. Didn't you hear it bark just now?"
"Wow!"
As if agreeing, the gray dog barked again, it was barking at Xiao Fei, and vigorously flicked its fluffy tail.
After confirming that it was a dog, the onlookers relaxed.
Xiao Fei looked at the greyhound who was moaning enthusiastically towards her, amused and helpless, and said, "Yuying, why are you here?!"
"Wow!"
As soon as he heard his name, Yaoying became even more excited, jumped off the dizzy old bustard, and circled Xiao Fei with his tail flicking...
"Don't help me get up yet!" the bustard who fell to the ground was almost mad, and shouted ferociously, and the two burly men under her hurriedly helped her up.
The old bustard stared at Xiao Fei fiercely, and said bitterly: "Dahu, Li San, teach this girl a lesson! And her dog, today I want to eat braised dog meat!"
The two big men responded, and approached Xiao Fei with evil smiles. A cold light flashed in the eyes of another little girl beside Xiao Fei, and she was about to step forward, but a brisk male voice came from not far away: " Xiao Junzi, as the saying goes, 'Beating a dog depends on the owner'. I heard this old woman said that she would kill your dog and eat it, so you just let her ride on your head like this?"
There was a hint of provocation in that male voice.
The little servant girl and Tao Yao followed the sound and saw three tall young men striding towards this side, they were Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun.
Tao Yao heaved a sigh of relief, and blurted out: "Young Master Yu!" But the little maid had a regretful light in her eyes, and quietly took half a step back, it seemed that it was not her turn to make a move today.
Yu Xiufan smiled slightly, cupped his fists to Xiao Fei and said, "Miss Xiao." Chang Huaixi and Yan Xijun beside him also cupped their fists.
The old bustard looked at the three young men, his expression changed, and the almost pale face was not very good-looking.
She is the old bustard of Baihualou. I don’t know how many men I have seen to welcome and send off on weekdays. Just by looking at the demeanor and dress of these three young people, I can tell that they have unusual backgrounds. There are many children of generals in Luoyue City, and none of them are She can be offended by a mere commoner...
Seeing the old bustard's complexion changed several times, Yu Xiufan pointed at Yan Xijun on purpose, and said contemptuously to the old bustard: "Old lady, this dog belongs to my brother Yan, Yan Wang's, today you bullied me Yan Brother's dog, how do you plan to make amends?!"
Yan Xijun took a step forward in cooperation, and moved his knuckles expressionlessly, "clack clack", as if he was about to strike if he disagreed.
"Woof!" The eagle and dog barked twice presumptuously, and walked to the side of the master in a hurry.
The bustard almost vomited a mouthful of old blood, she bullied the dog? ! Was she being bullied by a dog
But these three young men clearly knew this girl Xiao who didn't know where she came from, and they wanted to stand up for her in the name of a dog. It seems that this girl must be a girl from a rich family...
The old bustard was full of thoughts, held back his breath, pointed to the girl wisely and said, "This little girl, old... cough... can I still do it if I don't want it?"
Saying that, the old bustard looked at Xiao Fei, gritted his teeth and said, "Girl, I'll give you this little girl as an apology, okay?" Thinking of his own ten taels of silver, the old bustard felt a twitch. pain.
Xiao Fei said, "I never take advantage of others. How much money did you pay for this little sister?"
The old bustard thought about it, and was about to take the opportunity to make a fortune, but when he heard a "click", Chang Huaixi, who was beside him, moved his knuckles unconsciously.
The madam blurted out in fright: "Ten taels."
There was a burst of noise from all around, and many passers-by looked at the middle-aged man next to the girl with condemning eyes, remembering that he wanted to deceive the girl with twenty taels just now, this character is really inferior. That's right, how good is it for a person who even sells his own niece!
Taoyao gave the money, and the bustard gave the deed of sale. After that, Xiao Fei and Baihualou were settled, but the relationship with the girl's uncle was not over yet...
After meeting Xiao Fei's cold eyes, the middle-aged man swallowed shyly, and said dryly: "Girl, you can take it away." He almost couldn't wait to push the girl towards Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei's gaze was even colder, nannan meant baby, this little sister was originally a jewel held in the palm of her parents' hands.
Although the girl is only six or seven years old, she is already at the age of knowing right and wrong. Even if she doesn't know what Baihualou is, she still feels that the old bustard just now is not a good person. It is this strange sister who saved her.
Her eyes were red, and she murmured: "Brother, my daughter is going back to find my brother..."
The middle-aged man was full of embarrassment, and hurriedly interrupted her: "Ninny, you will be this girl's man from now on, don't talk nonsense!"
Xiao Fei glanced at him and asked, "Where's her brother?"
The middle-aged man smiled stiffly, and simply said that his second brother and his wife are gone, leaving a pair of children, one is raised by him, and the other is raised by his third brother. I sold my niece to Yunyun.
Xiao Fei didn't intend to study how much of it was true or not, so she turned her head and told the little maid: "Ling Xiao, follow him and send the ten taels of silver to Nannan's younger brother..." The meaning is to give the silver to the man's third brother's family.
By... why? ! The middle-aged man's eyes were wide open, and he almost jumped up.
The little maid Ling Xiao took it for granted and said on behalf of the master: "Of course this little sister's money from selling herself will be given to her own brother!" Could it be that you are fattening your heartless uncle? !
She didn't bother to talk to this kind of unscrupulous villain, she picked up the other party's collar and dragged him away rudely. As a secret guard, Ling Xiao couldn't leave Xiao Fei at will, but thinking that Yu Xiufan and the others were there, he took orders to do things with confidence.
This scene shocked the people who watched the excitement nearby. I didn't expect that the skinny little maid would have such abilities. It seems that her master is really extraordinary...
The bustle is over, and the passers-by around are gradually dispersing, but most of them have a bit of unfinished taste.
Yu Xiufan cleared his throat, looked at Xiao Fei again, and said, "Miss Xiao, why don't we give the girl a ride?"
He actually wanted to send Xiao Fei back to the palace, but unexpectedly Xiao Fei said: "Then trouble the three young masters to send me and this little sister to Wushan Hall."
Wushantang is obviously the name of a shantang. The three of Yu Xiufan couldn't help but looked at each other, unable to hide their surprise.
Tao Yao explained from the side: "The Wushantang is a kindness hall built by our girls in Liuli Lane two streets away. It was originally intended to house some homeless little girls."
As she said that, Taoyao looked at the sallow-faced and thin girl, feeling a little sad in her heart: This little girl's parents died, so her fate is naturally bad, but today she met her own girl, and her fate will be completely different in the future...
Yu Xiufan and the three looked at each other again, Chang Huaixi volunteered and said: "The Shantang is very good and beneficial to the people, Miss Xiao, is there anyone we can help?"
Xiao Fei's eyes lit up immediately, her philanthropic hall had just been built, and it was the time when manpower was most lacking, and it would be best if someone was willing to contribute!
She was not polite to them either, she nodded in agreement.
"Wow!"
Harrier Eagle let out a cry unwilling to be lonely, and flew to Xiao Fei's side again, as if to say, don't forget there is me!
Yu Xiufan looked at this silly dog speechlessly, and asked Yan Xijun with his eyes, why is it here
Probably followed him out secretly... Yan Xijun's expression was a little stiff, and he didn't know where in the mansion he dug a dog hole again.
The three young men went to Tayun Restaurant to lead their horses, Xiao Fei and Taoyao also got into their carriages, and the group of carriages and horses continued to move forward along the street, and the destination was of course Liuli Lane.
The Shantang is located in the depths of Liuli Lane two streets away, and the Shantang is not a restaurant, so the location Xiao Fei chose is relatively remote, almost untouched by people.
The newly built house still exudes the smell of paint and wood, and there are still some wood residues piled up in the yard, which looks a bit messy.
But for the girl, this house and this yard are things she couldn't even think about in the village. The blue brick and tile houses, the horse head walls, and the carved beams and flower windows and the cornices... The little girl exclaimed from time to time.
The nanny from Wushantang came up to meet them, looked at the three young masters curiously, and was still wondering why they came here. Soon, she got the answer, and bit the bullet to direct the three young masters. Brother son, let them help put away the leaking tiles for a while, and let them help carry some heavy objects for a while...
Mammy's whole body was tense like a bow, she was afraid that the three sons would turn against each other at any time, but she didn't expect that the three of them looked pampered, but they were unambiguous in doing things, and they were omnipotent.
In less than half a day, the old nanny was amused by Yu Xiufan and her eyes narrowed, making Shantang more energetic...
The three "hard laborers" continued until noon, when a soldier suddenly came to the Shantang out of breath, and ordered the three of them to see Xiao Yi.
Speaking of which, the soldier searched for the three of them for quite a while, but fortunately he met Ling Xiao on the way and got advice.
The three of them were overjoyed immediately, regardless of sweating profusely, washed their hands casually, and hurried to the Bixiao Hall, where the kite eagle who had been playing in the Shan Hall for a long time was naturally taken away by the owner.
The three youths all had excited expressions and brilliant eyes.
The son of the world summoned them, maybe there is a mission!
Finally it's their turn to come out!
The three of them rushed to the Bixiao Hall at full speed, and met Xiao Yi in the outer study.
"Brother!"
Yu Xiufan took the lead to enter through the curtain, his cheeks flushed with excitement, staring at Xiao Yi's back.
Xiao Yi, who was dressed in a purple robe, was looking at the map on the wall. Hearing this, he turned around and looked at the three disheveled boys who seemed to have rolled back from muddy water. He gestured and said, "You three come here!"
The three young men strode forward, and even if they didn't look carefully, they immediately judged from the outline on the map that this was not the map of Nanjiang, nor the map of Nanliang, but the map of Dayu!
Moreover, not only Dayu, but also all the small countries and small clans around Dayu.
The three of them subconsciously glanced at each other, all with surprised expressions on their faces.
They are all generals, so they naturally know the preciousness of this map, but they didn't expect the son to prepare this map.
Yu Xiufan stared at the map with squinted eyes, and said in his heart: I guessed correctly, the map this time must be big brother! Hehe, he really deserves to be Yu Xiufan's big brother!
Xiao Yi raised his right hand and pointed to a certain location west of Dayu, and pointed his jade-like fingertips beside a winding mountain range, and said straight to the point: "Xiye's troops have been seriously damaged recently, and the troops in the rear have arrived Before the front line, conscription should be forced on the spot."
Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, and Yan Xijun all looked at Xiao Yi with burning eyes, vaguely feeling that the next sentence of Shi Ziye was the key point.
Sure enough, the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, and he continued with a smile: "Xiao Fanzi, Xiao Xizi, Xiao Junzi, I plan to let you take the 3,000 rookie battalion to this place, stay there, and then act according to circumstances, stealing and changing positions..."
Xiao Yi's voice gradually showed vigor, and Yu Xiufan and the three of them turned serious.
"Master, what do you mean..." Chang Huaixi said, raising his hand in a gesture of a palm blade, the palm blade slashed down suddenly, as if even the air was shaken.
Seeing this, Yu Xiufan and Chang Huaixi were also thoughtful, the smile on Xiao Yi's face was even wider, he liked to talk to smart people, "How dare you?!"
The three young men looked at each other again and blurted out in unison: "Why don't you dare!"
"Okay!" Xiao Yi laughed loudly, and moved his finger along a certain line on the map, "Go to Xiye from this road..."
The war in western Xinjiang is tight. In order to cope with the war ahead, Xiye will definitely conscript men from the Yili, Bairi, and Cangbu tribes on the border. In the area, they killed those Xiye soldiers who came to recruit troops, and then disguised themselves as forced militiamen to sneak into the Xiye camp and wait for the opportunity.
The three young men listened attentively, their eyes became brighter and brighter, some of them were eager to try, some were ambitious, some were murderous...
For a while, Xiao Yi's slow voice was the only one in the room. If he didn't listen to what he was saying, people almost thought he was just chatting...
Outside the house, the autumn wind is blowing, and there is still no autumn in southern Xinjiang in September, but the disturbing sound of cicadas is missing, and the surroundings are quiet and comfortable.
After more than half an hour, the study room fell silent.
Yu Xiufan, Chang Huaixi, and Yan Xijun came out in a file. The three young men who had not reached the weak crown had very different temperaments, but they were all full of energy.
Yu Xiufan rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Hey, September 17th, good luck to go out, I checked the almanac before going out, it sure is accurate! Today's luck is really good!"
Yu Xiufan babbled nonsense, and when the three of them came near the Dongyi Gate, they saw two familiar voices from a distance, one person and one dog.
This dog is of course the Harpy Eagle that Yan Xijun left at the gatehouse before Yan Xijun went to see Xiao Yi just now, and this person is Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei had just returned home, and the reason why she walked through the gate of the East Street was to meet her sister-in-law Nangong Yue, but she didn't expect to be followed by a kite eagle just as she got off the carriage.
"Wow, woof!" Harrier Eagle happily circled around Xiao Fei again, Xiao Fei walked towards the East Gate, and it also followed behind like a shadow, the way it seemed to have completely forgotten its owner.
Xiao Fei was a little helpless, and reached out her hand to touch the silly dog's head, wondering if she could "reason" with it with a fleshy bone, and then heard a somewhat familiar male voice call out: "Harrier Eagle."
Xiao Fei followed the sound and saw Yan Xijun and the others coming, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, that silly dog just glanced at its owner, then turned its head back with "disdain", and continued to wag its tail at Xiao Fei.
"Eagle!" Yan Xijun shouted with embarrassment in his eyes.
However, this time, Yaoying didn't even give its master a look, and had to push its two front paws onto Xiao Fei's skirt, screaming "woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" with a pitiful voice, just like a quilt Abandoned little dolls are generally...
It's just that it doesn't really match its mighty and extraordinary appearance.
Yan Xijun was even more embarrassed, he took a step forward, he wanted to take the silly dog away, but the silly dog was on Xiao Fei's body, it seemed inappropriate to do it by himself...
At this moment, Chang Huaixi's clear voice came from behind: "Harray Eagle!"
Following his cry, a piece of fragrant jerky was thrown out, drawing a beautiful curve in mid-air.
"Wow!"
With a movement of the wet dog's nose, the kite hawk stared at the piece of meat "violently" and swooped out nimbly.
"Aww—"
Seeing the jerky begin to fall, the raised dog's mouth was only a few inches away from the jerky, and suddenly there was a loud eagle cry, a gray shadow flashed across the air, and the eagle's claws were retracted, and it accurately grabbed After eating the dried meat, the gray eagle continued to fly, and landed steadily on a tree trunk a few feet away.
"Wow!"
Harrier Eagle chased after it excitedly, barking at Gray Eagle under the tree, but Xiao Hui ignored it at all, with a cold and arrogant look of "how can you mortal dogs compete with me".
Yan Xijun seized this opportunity and hugged that silly dog as quickly as possible.
Xiao Fei glanced at Xiao Hui with a smirk, because it was also Harpy Eagle's bad luck, Han Yu was not around recently, so Xiao Hui went to play with dogs and cats everywhere, originally it was just a tyrant in the palace, but recently it has almost become a tyrant in Luoyue City.
She and the three young masters were blessed, then left, and continued to walk towards Dongyi Gate.
Yu Xiufan and the other three were on the contrary, walking opposite to her, and walked out of the mansion.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." Harrier Eagle struggled resolutely in the arms of its master, which made Yan Xijun into a mess, but made Yu Xiufan amused.
Yu Xiufan thought of something, and said: "Miss Xiao really attracts cats and dogs. I heard that she will grow hairpins in a few days. My mother ordered a hairpin and said it would be a congratulatory gift. I see, it's boring for everyone to give hairpins. Great, how innovative it is to give a milk dog... "
Yu Xiufan's voice gradually faded away...
At this time, Xiao Fei had already arrived at Nangong Yue's yard. As soon as she entered the house, she was startled by the situation in Dongci's room and her feet slowed down.
The room was full of clothes, jewelry, and fabrics, and Xiao Fei almost thought that the sister-in-law was packing up the jewelry and clothes, but then realized something was wrong, the clothes were all plain, moon white, sky blue ,Light purple…
This is not my sister-in-law's preference, but more like...
"Sister Fei, come here quickly." Nangong Yue waved to Xiao Fei with a smile, "It's just in time for you to come, the clothes you will wear for Ji Li are ready, and the jewelry is also ready, come here and have a try. There are still three days until September 20th, if something is inappropriate, there is still time to modify it."
Feeling warm in her heart, Xiao Fei obediently asked Tao Yao and Hua Mei to serve her to try on clothes and jewelry. Nan Gongyue carefully asked Hua Mei to write down the things that needed to be revised, and then talked to Xiao Fei about the process of the day of Ji Ji Ceremony Actually, on the day Nangong Yue and Yanli, Xiao Fei was her admirer, so she didn't know the procedure of Yanli, but she still obediently listened to what Nangong Yue said, and responded from time to time.
When everything in the house was moved down, it was already an hour later that Dongci's room returned to its original state.
The maid served hot tea for the two masters, and followed Que'er to hand over another gold-painted post. Nangong Yue was not in a hurry to open the post. She stared at the gold-painted pattern on the post, as if thinking of something, and said with a smile: "Fei Sister, in the past few days, some houses have handed over posts, do you want to meet after the ceremony?"
