Chapter 16:The Gossip of the Princess and the Consort

A basket of eggs, eggs are also wrapped in oil paper snacks, is obviously sent by others, but in addition, there is not even a personal shadow around, which makes Li Huo feel some doubt, thinking that this sent things is too inexperienced, at least to show up, so that they can lead him this sentiment, otherwise it is not sent in vain?

"Wu Shu" was in doubt in Li Xiu's mind when he suddenly heard a strange sound in the dead grass not far away, and the grass also shook slightly, as if something was hidden there.

Seeing this, Li Hu could not help but smile, striding to the grass and laughing: "Come out, I have seen you!"

Li Hue's voice just fell, the people inside seem to hesitate, and then saw a dirty little hand to open the grass, a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old came out from the inside, the little girl's face was very dirty, and even couldn't see her looks, combed her braids on her head, so that she could distinguish her gender, wearing a large dress full of patches, and she knew that it was the children of the house.

“Little guy, did you give those eggs and snacks?”Li Huo squatted down and smiled and asked the little girl, although he could not see the other person's appearance, but the flattering pair of large eyes was clear, and his eyes were a little shy, and he looked very embarrassed.

"Hmm," the little girl nodded lightly, black eyes looked at Li Sheu, and then hurriedly bowed her head.Perhaps because of the relationship between poverty and hunger, the children of the families are mostly timid, especially when they meet such landowners as Li Hue, they are very timid, such as the children of the confidant such as Liu, who are now afraid to speak when they see Li Huo.

“Whose child is you, and why are you giving me something?”Li Huo smiled gently, in his past ten years of marriage did not want children, not want, not physically problematic, but worried about the impact of work, for this wife and he divorced, which makes him feel guilty, perhaps because of this psychology, this world he also loves children, if possible, he really hopes to meet a favorite woman in this life, and then have a few children, taste the happiness of the children.

“My mother told me to thank my father for saving my father’s life!”Although the little girl is shy, it is more daring than other children, at least to make it clear.

“Saved your father’s life?”Li Hugh heard here first stuttered, then thought of what, then smiled again, "Your father is not a princess's craftsman, a few days ago fell from the room injured?"

“Um,” the little girl nodded again.That is right, it turns out that she was the daughter of the injured craftsman that day, send these things to thank their life-saving grace, if there is no Li Hugh shot, the craftsman is afraid to lose too much blood and die, and for the dealer family, the man is the pillar of the family, if the man in the family fell, then the whole family will be destroyed, especially in the current disaster years, so Li Hui is equivalent to indirectly save their family.

Save a life, the rescued person sent a gift, if placed in the previous life Li Hu may have received, but now look at the little girl dirty little face, and the patched clothes on the body, even in the winter, the little girl's feet are still wearing a pair of grass shoes, so you can see how poor the other's family, which makes him can not accept the other party's gift anyway.

Thinking of this, Li Huo smiled again and touched the little girl's head, and did not directly refuse each other, but smiled and asked again: "Little girl, what is your name, what is the name of the family besides your father?" 」

Perhaps Li Hue's smile played a role, the little girl at this time was much bolder, and she spoke fluently: "I call the water lady, there are parents and sisters at home, and two younger brothers."

"Oh, water lady, why didn't your mother and sister come, and you're the only one child?"Li Hugh at this time a little strange way, justly said thank you for this kind of thing should be more solemn, how should you come to an adult.

"My mother is sick, I can't even get out of bed, my eldest sister has to take care of my parents and brother, so I can't come."When the water lady said to the parents, the big eyes also with a little worried color, and then a small chest proud said, "And the water lady is not small, at home are I take care of the two brothers, but also to help the family work, the mother said in a few years to the water lady said the mother-in-law!" 」

Hearing these words of the water lady, Li Shu could not help but feel a little sad, a seven-year-old girl, in the future life has just been in primary school, but in the era of Datang, but has already provoked the burden of the family early, which is probably the children of the future generations can not imagine.

"Water lady, your father was injured while helping me, so I should save him, these eggs and snacks you still take it back, give your parents a supplement to your body!" 」Li Huo then smiled and took the eggs and snacks over, put them in front of the water lady, the more he understood the situation in the other's home, the more he could not bear to accept these things.

Looking at the eggs and snacks in front of her, the watermaid obviously swallowed a mouthful, and then shook her head firmly: "No, my mother said, if the master had not saved my father, my father would have died, so I must give these things to the master!"

Li Hu also did not expect the water lady this little girl even so stubborn, he even persuaded a few times, the little girl is not willing to take back the gift, which makes Li Huan also a little helpless, just happened to be in the water lady's arms of the little black dog has been constantly shouting, the moment Li Xiu deliberately changed the topic: "Water Mai, the dog in your arms is very cute, is your own?" 」

Hearing Li Xiu ask about the puppy in her arms, the watermaid's big eyes showed a bit of sadness: "No, the third is born at home, a litter of puppies counts it the smartest, other puppies are sent away, my mother said that the three are unlucky, others are not willing to want, let me lose it."

“Little three?Unlucky?”Li Hugh heard here again, then reacted, the third is estimated to be the name of this little black dog, but how to hear the name is a little awkward.

As for the unlucky statement, Li Huo only noticed that although most of the small black dog has black hair, but only the four feet and the tip of the tail are white, there is a white hair on the chest, looks very beautiful, but in the northern countryside, this dog is considered unlucky, black with white like Dai Xiao, many people do not want to raise, the future life of Li Hue's hometown has this statement, did not expect as early as more than a thousand years ago.

Seeing this little black dog that was about to be discarded, Li Hu suddenly moved, and smiled at the watermaid: "Watermaid, I think this dog is very cute, it is better, you give me the puppy as a thank you, so I also have a companion later, these eggs and snacks you still take it back!" 」

Hearing Li Huo's proposal, the water lady's little face also showed a hesitant look, she likes the three, if discarded in the wild, I am afraid it will take a few days to starve to death, if you give this master will not worry, but she thought of her parents' advice, must give eggs and snacks to the gentleman, which makes her young age she also can't think of it.

Seeing that the water lady was finally shaken, Li Hue immediately smiled and reached out to hold the little black dog in her arms, and put the eggs and snacks into her hand and said, "Well, it is so decided, the third day will follow me, if you have time, you can often come to see it!" 」

Li Hugh said after touching the little head of the water lady, and then left with the little black dog, saying that he lived here alone, usually a little lonely, and raising a puppy was also a good idea.

Li Huo brought the puppy to the Pingyang Princess Zhuangzi, where the correct name should be called the courtyard, Princess Pingyang in Chang'an City naturally has its own princess house, but according to the ma'am, the princess does not like to live in the city, usually live in the city most of the time.

What is more interesting is that knowing Master Ma for so long, he has never heard him mention Ma Chaishao, that is, the husband of Princess Pingyang, according to historical records, the princess and Chai Shao were married before Li Yuan's army, but usually the princess lives here, Chaishao is not here, which makes Li Sheu very curious about the things between Princess Pingyang and her husband.

During this time, Li Hu often ran to the princess's other courtyard, so he was very familiar with it for a long time, today he did not go to the greenhouse construction site, but went straight to the other courtyard into the kitchen, asked the cook for a few pieces of ground meat to feed the little black dog, the result was still very familiar with the little black dog, soon became familiar with Li Hu, wagging his tail has been around Li Xiu's feet, can't go, it is estimated that now the water lady can't take it.

Li Hugh in front of the small black dog with four small short legs behind cheerfully followed, the scene is very loving, then Li Huo as usual in the greenhouse site turned around, several of which have been initially built, the fire inside also rose, the ground is also turned over again, can be sown at any time, it is estimated that until the cold winter and summer months, the first batch of vegetables can be listed, when he waits to count the money to the hand cramps!

On the way to the completion of the tour, Li Huo was preparing to go back to the little black dog to take a bath, and by the way, he greeted the horseman who was fishing by the river, but he had just come to the yellow canal, and before he reached the dead willow tree, he heard the angry roar of the horseman: "Take something to the old man to roll, and then dare to appear in the princess's seal, be careful of the old man to break your dog legs!"

Hearing the horseman's tantrum, Li Huu was also startled, rushed to look, but found that the horse's exhalation standing on the bank of the river, the fishing pole was he puffed into two sections thrown into the river, opposite is a group of well-dressed domestic slaves, behind the carriage also pulled a lot of things, but then one by one scared, and finally in the roar of the horseman, the gang finally rushed to the carriage.

Li Hugh saw that Ma's entourage, Lao Qi, was standing not far away from him, and hurriedly approached and said, "Old seven, who are these people, it looks like they gave a gift to the mare?"

“The horse house!”The old seven words are like gold's way, as if they say more words and they will die.

The horse house?Not the people of Chai Shao, right?Li Hu suddenly thought of a possibility, if the other party is really Chaishao people, then the princess and the horse Marco have a big gossip!
