Wangfu Shenyuan

The life in Piaoxiangyuan is leisurely and regular. The captain, Afu, is not forgiving, but he looks towards Xia An from the bottom of his heart.

With nothing to do, Xia An hid in the house all day to train the "miracle doctor". The "miracle doctor" has a very bad temper, Xia An would bite it angrily after rubbing it a few times, Xia An was not afraid, and imitated the prince's finger pointing at its head, criticizing it viciously.

"Why are you called 'Miraculous Doctor'? According to the prince's habit, shouldn't you be called 'Marshal', 'Pioneer', 'Soldier' ​​or something? Haha, could it be that you are too weak and rejected by the master? Yes, otherwise why would you Throw it to my slave to take care of it. Hahaha." Xia An laughed and shed tears.

"Don't mention how docile you are when your real master hugs you, otherwise everyone will say 'dog leg', look at you like that, I really look down on you, dog slave."

"You are so young, did you get brought here just after the full moon? Our two masters have such virtues, bullying men and women, and robbing good dogs."

(A certain place, thinking that Xia An would appreciate his Rongli, sneezed hard.)

Hearing that Xia An had been talking nonsense with the dog for two days, Xiao Jin felt terrified, and suggested, "The weather is nice today, should you go out for a walk with the dog in your arms?"

"That's right, I almost forgot." Xia An rolled over like a carp and stood up, grabbed the fur from the back of the puppy's neck and left.Xiao Jin jumped up: "You don't comb your hair either?"

"It's okay, it's just for walking the dog, not to meet the sweetheart."

Xiao Jin shuddered and went back to bed.

Xia An hurried straight to the appointed place, and saw that the prince was already waiting there with a big bag in his hand.He didn't want to think about it, knelt down numbly to pay his respects, and handed the dog to him with both hands.

Rong Li picked up the dog, but put it on the ground, letting the dog run out to play by itself.He took out two pieces of handkerchiefs from his sleeves, spread them separately, and sat on one by himself. Facing Xia An who was kneeling in front of him with his head bowed, he tried his best to soften his tone, and said, "Get up and give me a seat."

Sit down?Xia An raised his head in a daze, and saw His Excellency looking at him with a half-smile, his heart skipped a beat, he still lowered his head, not daring to get up.

"Cough." Rong Li made a fake cough to dispel the embarrassment. "Do you prefer to kneel?"

"No, I thank you, my lord, for sitting down." Xia An gritted his teeth and sat down. His master's thoughts were not so hard to guess.

The two were silent for a while, Rong Li finally couldn't help turning his head to look at it, the person beside him was staring blankly ahead, his thoughts wandered somewhere.He hated being ignored very much. If it was normal, he would definitely put this slave in the torture hall and give him a solid beating.But right now, this slave's situation is not very good, he can put aside his identity for a while, and let this stupid slave be unrestrained for a while.

The slender fingers flexibly untied the bundle, and took out a small handkerchief from inside.Open it, and put a few pieces of mung bean cake inside.He nudged the daydreamwalker with his elbow, and said in a gentle voice, "Are you hungry, I'll reward you with cakes."

Xia An turned his head in a daze, and asked in confusion, "For me?" Some lost his focus, and forgot to call himself a "slave".

The noble prince suddenly felt his cheeks burn, and immediately turned his head away, stuffing the pastry into Xia An's arms indiscriminately, his voice twisted a little more: "'For' the genius doctor."

"Oh, the slave will put it away carefully, and feed it when I go back." Xia An arranged the cakes neatly, and was about to put on the veil.

Rong Li was furious, he had never met such an incomprehensible person, none of those men and women in the past hadn't shown themselves a little bit, and they would stick to him to curry favor with him.The last time I heard him say that the food he ate was distributed to the dogs. I was afraid that he would be hungry again, so I specially packed some snacks. Who knew he was so ignorant of current affairs.

Rong Li reached out and grabbed a piece, put it in his mouth and bit off half of it, said vaguely: "This king is hungry, it's boring to eat alone, you can eat too."

"My lord, this is dog food." Xia An said in surprise.He was stimulated, and his mind was still confused, so he said such words without thinking.Normally, according to his prudence, he would not go so desperately to provoke the prince.

When Rong Li said this, the small fire on Rong Li's face immediately turned into a raging fire. He was about to curse, but he choked again.He couldn't breathe for a long time, so he had to cough all the time, and his eyes were red from the choking.

Seeing the lord suffocating to death, Xia An's mood improved a lot.If he was the accomplice who killed Master Fang, then the real murderer is the prince.

Rong Li managed to swallow the mung bean cake, and scolded others, "You bastard slave, why don't you help me, Wang Shunshun?"

Xia An got up, knelt down, and said, "Damn the slave, I panicked for a while, I don't know what to do?"

These words couldn't fool Rongli, although he was feeling uncomfortable at that time, his eyes were fixed on Xia An, and he could clearly see the pleasure of revenge from his face.Rong Li's eyes dimmed for a while, but he immediately cheered up again, took out a few books from his bag, and said to Xia An: "Get up, don't kneel suddenly, it will be dusty."

"Damn the slave." Xia An said again, Fang got up, but kept his head down, until a few books suddenly appeared in his sight, Xia An looked up in surprise, but saw the prince holding a book in one hand and stretching it out to him, body and His head turned to the other side.

"My lord, is this?" Xia An didn't dare to take it casually.

Rong Li said impatiently: "This is a book about raising dogs, read it carefully, don't raise my dog ​​to death. Also, don't forget to come the day after tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he put the book into Xia An's arms without hesitation. Sent, strode away.

The prince came this time without taking a good look at the "miracle doctor" and left, but he really loves dogs, and he gave him cakes and asked him to read books about raising dogs.

Xia An hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled wryly, if the prince was half as good to people as he was to dogs, many things would not have developed to the point of irreversibility.

The first one talks about how to take care of dogs in daily life.Xia An turned two pages and found it very boring, so she put aside the first book. When she saw the title of the second book, she was stunned for a while, and the prince actually gave him a copy of "Spring and Autumn", which has nothing to do with raising a dog. What's the matter, could it be that I accidentally took the wrong one, it's not impossible.

Xia An hurried to read the third book, and was stunned again. It was "Historical Records".Xia An didn't know the fourth book, it was beautifully bound and looked like a novel.Xia An thought she had read quite a few novels, but the title and author of this book were unknown.

Probably the prince accidentally took two stacks of books by mistake when he was taking the books, so he took all the wrong ones except the first one.The prince has already gone far, it is impossible to catch up.However, Xia An didn't have the intention of catching up to return the book. If he could have a book to read to pass the time now, he could stop thinking about those unhappy things.

That's great, Xia An hugged those books and thought, maybe God didn't give up on him completely.At least, when he was most sad and desperate, he would secretly take care of him with the help of the villain.

Yes, hope should not be casually given up.If you can't rely on others, don't you still have yourself?I am a handsome man, can't I earn some money to redeem myself?

When he got back, he pestered Xiao Jin and begged him to take him to do private work.Even if he doesn't take it with him, he must be forced to tell how he can do private work, and what kind of private work he wants to do to earn money.

Looking down, he found that the burden brought by the prince was still thrown on the ground. Xia An repacked the books and pastries, put them on his shoulders, and carried the dog back to the Piaoxiangyuan. Xiaojin was still lying on the bed and eating apples. She smiled and asked him if it was windy outside.The weather at the end of autumn has gradually turned cold, and the north wind began to visit from time to time, bringing a deeper chill each time.

Xia An put the burden on the table, and replied casually: "Well, it seems that the wind is blowing."

"Like?" Xiao Jin said angrily, "Why have you lost your soul these two days, and you don't know if there is no wind when you go out. I asked you to carry the slop bucket last night, but you actually moved the full bucket back to listen to the wind." It’s not too heavy even if it’s already in the courtyard.”

Xia An laughed dryly, without explaining.

Xiao Jin took out a small tangerine from the bed cabinet, and said righteously: "Here, don't look at this orange, it's so small, it's very sweet."

Break it apart and taste it, it is really sweet.It's a pity that it's too young, and Xia An ate it up in two bites, so she envied Xiaojin even more after signing the death contract and still being able to buy this and that. "How much private money have you earned? These oranges are not cheap."

"It's okay, it's what I want to eat in this season. I don't rush to buy it now. In winter, the fruit is so expensive that I can't afford it, and I can't afford it in spring. I have to wait half a year before I can eat it."

Xia An clenched his fists, his nails pinched his hands, but he wanted to encourage himself, let go of all his thoughts, making money is important.

"Xiao Jin, what kind of private work are you taking on? Can't you really take care of me?"

Xiao Jin immediately jumped out of bed, pretending to run out. "Oh, I'm going to see if they have cleaned the slop bucket. The pear I asked her to stew at the cook's place should be ready. I have to eat it quickly."

Xia An didn't care about anything, and dragged Xiao Jin tightly: "You finished eating all your pears yesterday. Just take me with you. Could it be that you just have the heart to see if I have a penny, and you have to give me a handout to eat fruit?"

"Xia An, we in Piaoxiang Courtyard have good food and clothing, so why bother to take risks for private jobs. I'm a greedy ghost, I don't want to die. Although you are also greedy, you can restrain yourself. It's good to live in An An. "

"No, Xiao Jin, as I told you, I don't want to be a slave for the rest of my life. Even at the risk of being beheaded, I will do it."

Xiao Jin was a little moved, and tentatively said: "Maybe the result will be worse than beheading. You also know that the punishment hall in our palace is not for show, and the dogs in the back mountain all grew up eating human flesh. Don't be afraid." Is it?"

"Scared. I don't think there is anyone in this world who is more afraid of death and pain than me." Xia An lowered his eyes, paused for a while, then raised them up, the black eyes were already shining with light. "But I still want to fight for it. If I don't work hard and I just give up, then even if I live to old age, what's the point of throwing away the slop of my life?"

Xiao Jin opened his mouth wide and looked at Xia An for a while, Fang realized with a strange expression on his face, and said, "I don't dare to make up my mind about this, I'll ask our leader for you to see if he accepts you."

"Really?" Xia An burst into laughter, and it was so easy to convince Xiao Jin. He thought it would take a few days, and it would be good to let Xiao Jin tell the secret of what kind of private work he took.

"What did I lie to you for?" Xiao Jin took a bite of the apple, pointed to the burden on the table, and asked, "Where did it come from? The material looks good?"

"Ah?" Xia An didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, his head became hot for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

But Xiao Jin found the answer by himself, and asked with a smile: "Is there a big maid in the yard who fell in love with you and secretly gave you a token of love. Tsk tsk, look at your dark and ugly appearance, there are people who like it?"

Xia An hurriedly waved his hands: "Where, how could a woman like me, don't think about it?"

Xiao Jin's hand opened the bag while he was talking, and seeing the contents inside, he was more sure of his thoughts, and said with a smile: "I still said no, I also sent cakes and books, I really care about you."

"The pastry is for the dog, and the owner of the dog asked me to take care of the dog to deliver this bag." Xia An tugged the front paw of the "miracle doctor" who was dozing on the table, and in return gave him a rude bite. avoid.

Xiao Jin didn't believe it. He grabbed a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth: "Who would give a dog a pastry to eat? If he wanted to give it, he would give it a bone or a meat. You are so stupid, pastries are always given away. Isn't it that girl?" I'm sorry to give it to you directly, but I was shy so I said it was for the dog."

If it was really a girl, Xia An would still think so.But it was the prince who gave the cakes, that evil master who treats dogs hundreds of times better than people, how could he give him cakes?

"Okay, I'm not kidding you, I have to go quickly to see if the slop bucket has been cleaned, and it will be used soon."

Xia An wished that he would leave quickly, so she pushed him out the door.Before going out, Xiao Jin yelled that he would exchange the meat in his bowl with the "miracle doctor" for pastries, and asked Xia An to save two yuan for him.

Having said that, Xia An also felt a little greedy.He didn't want to touch other people's things at will, but what Xiao Jin said made sense. For dogs, meat and bones are always more attractive than pastries.He made up his mind immediately and discussed with the "miracle doctor".

"Give me your pastry, and I'll give you all my meat, okay? Well, I can't give you all, I have to have a piece or two left over for a toothbrush. Well, I'll go to the kitchen and get you some bones Chew. How about it, you are not losing money, we both get what we need."

The "miracle doctor" turned over and went back to sleep.

Xia An smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you agreed." After counting the cakes, there were still six yuan left.Xia An didn't have the square handkerchief that the prince used to wrap the cakes, but he cut the lining of the spring clothes privately and divided them into large and small pieces.At this time, he took out a clean cloth the size of a handkerchief, wrapped two pieces of pastry, and went to the next door.

A Fu took a pen to write the record of yesterday's swill, and Xia An spontaneously went over to help grind the ink.

"Where's Xiao Jin?"

"Go and see if the slop bucket has been cleaned?"

Ah Fu put down his pen and said displeasedly: "You work under him, and you don't have as much work as others. You have the most leisure time in Piaoxiangyuan. Even I am busy all night, and I have to copy this during the day." Well, checking everything and everything, busy for most of the day. You are good, hiding in the house and sleeping all day long."

Xia An blushed a little, but she was scolded by Ah Fu long ago, so she smiled and said, "I still have to take care of you. Why don't you hurry up and bribe you, little one." After finishing speaking, he unfolded the cloth towel and handed the pastry to Ah Fu .

Ah Fu took a sip, then suddenly frowned and said, "Where did you get this pastry?"

"I help people take care of the dog, and it was given by the dog owner." Xia An curled his lips and said, "It's not something valuable. I came to the mansion to be taken care of by you and Manager Han. For more than a year, I can only get two A piece of pastry thank you."

Not something expensive?Hmph, this is the pastry made by the royal chef in the palace, you think it is the kind sold in the workshop on weekdays.Ah Fu wiped his mouth after eating, and asked, "Who is the owner of the dog?"

Xia An rolled his eyes, and replied: "It's a big servant girl serving by the master's side." This was the inspiration from Xiao Jin.In case Ah Fu sees the high-quality cloth bag in the future, it will be easy to say.

Ah Fu nodded reassuringly, as long as it was not given by the prince, it would be fine.It's not surprising that the big maid next to the prince brought out some pastries.

No wonder Ah Fu thought too much.Xia An washed off the black ashes on his face, and he was also a very beautiful boy.Of course he knows how romantic his master is.It's better to be on guard, if the master takes a fancy to him, there is no way for Xia An to survive.

"I've been living with Xiao Jin for a long time. Has he seen your true face?"

"What's the real face, hehe, how can I put it like I'm wearing a mask. He likes to run outside, and I wash up and smear him when he goes out. I didn't find a trace of his rough nerves. .”

"Very well, even roommates can't take everything out."

Xia An said, "Xiao Jin has a pure heart and treats people well."

Ah Fu didn't say any more, he ate another pastry and continued to write the record.Xia An didn't leave either, just grinding ink on the side while watching. "I don't understand, why do you need to record every day when you pour slops?"

"The palace is a big mansion, not a small household. Close the door and eat and drink well. There are nearly a thousand servants in the palace. In addition, there are masters at all levels. When there are too many people, Simple things become complicated. Don't underestimate the leftover swill, there is a lot of knowledge in it."

Xia An has always been more curious, so he asked Ah Fu, "What knowledge, tell me quickly?"

Ah Fu glared at him: "What's the knowledge in it? You're a slop pourer, why do you know so much? Go away, follow Xiao Jin to check the slop bucket if you have nothing to do, don't hang around in front of my eyes, it's so annoying."

There was no way, Xia An didn't ask any more questions, went back to his room, wrapped two more yuan, and sent it to Steward Han in the stable, and asked him about his situation after that day by the way.Manager Han didn't come to him after he refused. Xia An was afraid of knowing Fang Xiatong's reaction when he heard the news of his death, but he really wanted to know the news about his only relative in this world.
