"Master, should we make some preparations? Is Nanquan coming for us?"
Princess Chaoyang didn't speak. She kept staring at the two people who left. There was a bit of reluctance in her eyes at first. Now that she became hesitant, she soon showed a trace of determination.
"Master, are you really going to meet Xiaolan tomorrow? Didn't you promise Xiaolan that you would no longer let her take care of these things in the world?"
Princess Chaoyang slowly turned around, looking at Xiao Hong with eyes as sharp as swords: "Once you enter the Jianghu, you can't help yourself. There is nothing you can do about it, not to mention she is a little maid. I let her stay in Qin Shaobai's house at the beginning
I asked her to test Qin Shaobai’s true identity for me, but this girl has devoted herself to becoming a member of the Qin family."
Princess Chaoyang said, taking the cup of hot tea from Xiaohong, but did not put it in her mouth.
"What the master said is that Xiaolan should be punished properly, but she actually forgot who she is. Xiaohong assured the master that Xiaohong's life belongs to the master, and no matter what the master wants Xiaohong to do, Xiaohong will never look back.
Do it without any second thoughts.”
The muscles of Princess Chaoyang's cheeks trembled slightly, and then she laughed: "Of course I believe you. Now, you are the most helpful girl beside me. But, Xiaohong, you say
Is there anyone in this world who deserves your absolute trust?"
When Xiao Hong heard this, her face changed drastically, her body started to tremble involuntarily, and then she knelt down.
"Okay, get up and let someone help me go to bed. Who knows what kind of day tomorrow will be?" Princess Chaoyang said, as she was leaving, she suddenly turned around and asked, "What's going on in Wangxiang Tower recently?
"
"Master, it seems that there hasn't been much movement since Wangxiang Building changed its owner."
"Oh, who is the new owner of Wangxiang Building? Have you found out?"
Xiaohong lowered her head again, not daring to speak.
"Oh, if you can't handle such a trivial matter, I've really raised you all in vain."
"No, Master, those two are really like ordinary businessmen. Jin Guizhen has now become a famous iron abacus in the county. In his hands, Wangxiang Tower has become the best restaurant in Nanyang.
As for Jin Zhaoning, she is very willful, but I heard Master Qin and Master Song praise her and say that her cooking skills are excellent."
"Master Song also said this?"
Xiao Hong wanted to simply say yes, but seeing her master's expression of anger, she was so frightened that she swallowed the word "hmm" alive, and just whispered: "The main reason is that Mr. Qin talks a lot, Qin
Sir, this person is much more greedy than Lord Song."
Princess Chaoyang actually smiled slightly.
When Xiao Hong saw her master smiling, she knew that she had spoken from his heart, and quickly added: "Xiao Hong thinks that Master Song's favorite food is the hometown dish that the master cooked for him. I still remember it.
Mr. Song ate the plate of roasted winter bamboo shoots completely, even without sticking out his tongue to lick the plate."
"You damn girl, how dare you dare to speak ill of a fourth-grade official like this? Be careful, I will sue Mr. Qin and punish you for being disrespectful."
"Master, please spare Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong is just telling the truth. It shows that Mr. Song really likes Master...'s cooking."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell those people who are monitoring Wangxiang Building to watch every move of Wangxiang Building. I don't believe it. The masters and apprentices of the Jin family bought this building just to
Doing business.”
When Qin Shaobai returned home, he saw Xiaolan and two Xiaowan still practicing the green bamboo sword in the yard.
Xiaolan was probably giving a demonstration to Xiaowan. She moved very slowly. A bamboo branch in her hand swayed slightly with her body, sometimes stabbing forward, sometimes raising high, and sometimes spinning... Under the weak light, it showed that
An indescribable gentleness.
Qin Shaobai said hello secretly and clapped his hands.
"Dad." Xiaowan shouted with a smile and rushed over, immediately hugging Qin Shaobai's neck, "Dad, you are finally back, I miss you."
This little girl is so adorable. It’s been so long since we last met, and she’s saying such clingy words.
Qin Shaobai hugged Xiaowan and spun her around, then lifted her up and gently tossed her a few times, which made Xiaowan giggle and made the stern-faced Xiaolan next to her also laugh.
"Okay, Wan'er, you go aside and practice the moves taught by your sister Xiaolan. Daddy will come to fight with you later."
Qin Shaobai pulled Xiaolan aside: "Why do you only teach Xiaowan swordsmanship, where is Yue'er?"
"I asked Yue'er and Luo Baotou to pick you up. Didn't you meet them?"
"It's such a dark road, why did you ask an old man and a young man to pick me up?" Qin Shaobai was anxious and was about to run back to find the two of them, but he heard Xiaolan say something lightly,
"I asked them to go out on purpose, and the boss also agreed with my approach, and I have been doing this for more than one day."
Qin Shaobai really didn't understand what this girl was thinking. She was obviously trying to exclude Zhao Yuer.
Is it possible that you still think that your green bamboo sword is an unparalleled skill? Zhao Yue'er also has a foundation in martial arts, so she may not look down on your poor swordsmanship at all.
"Brother Qin, I don't care what you think of Zhao Yue'er. Anyway, I keep my opinion. In life, I will take good care of her. She will have everything Xiaowan should have. I will also treat her equally in terms of learning and civility.
Let her know the way of benevolence and righteousness like Xiaowan, but I will not teach her this martial arts."
Qin Shaobai wanted to defend a few more words, but Xiaolan said: "Of course, this is one of the reasons why I sent Zhao Yuer away. The other reason is also the most important reason. I want to try Zhao Yuer again. I want to see
Look at her courage."
To kick a child out and walk at night is to test her courage.
Qin Shaobai was really angry. If Zhao Yue'er knew that you let her go out every day to avoid her giving extra meals to another child, her little heart would definitely be hurt, and maybe there would be some shadow of her childhood.
.
He suddenly felt that the delicate and dignified woman in front of him had become eerie and terrifying. He really didn't want to say anything more to Xiaolan, so he ran outside.
"Daddy." Xiaowan, who was practicing swordsmanship, saw her father running out angrily and called out worriedly.
Qin Shaobai was startled for a moment, but he did not stop.
It should have been the beginning of the first lunar month and the end of the month. The sky was very dark and there was a damp and cold atmosphere in the air.
Although the night market in the Song Dynasty has always been very prosperous, due to several cases that have occurred in Nanyang County in the past few days, especially the case of three child corpses, the adults in Nanyang County are very worried about the safety of their children and do not allow them to
Come out.
If the children don't come out, the adults will be too embarrassed to come out on their own, and the streets will become deserted, with only a few simple shops weakly shouting about business.
Qin Shaobai ran straight along the road to Yuanlou, the autumn wind blowing, making his head become more and more awake.
Suddenly, he stopped, thought for a moment, then turned around and ran in the direction of Wangxiang Tower.
