Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

After many days of investigation, Lian Bao and the others have locked on the target, and they are more and more sure that there is something strange in this alley, and the treasure may be hidden in it.

But the second in command is full of tricks, just like the kind-hearted old man who lives here, playing with birds and crickets every day, without revealing where the treasure is hidden.

Lian Bao is well aware of the insidiousness and cunning of this group of people, and she fears that they will startle the enemy, and will take them down once she is sure.

In order to keep an eye on the target house and find out the surrounding hidden piles, the Neiwei Division secretly rented a small courtyard nearby, just one wall away from the courtyard that was splashed with water.

Listening to the angry scolding from next door every day, Lian Bao has a better understanding of the woman who splashed water.

The woman's surname is Ding, her nickname is Shaoyao, and she has no real name, only a makeshift nickname. She is not lazy, on the contrary, she is very diligent.

There is a chicken farm not far from their home, all managed by Shaoyao, in this residential area.

Shaoyao gets up before dawn every day to boil water, cook rice, wash clothes, feed the chickens and collect eggs, and serve the family.

At dawn, she would carry the eggs to the market to sell. Shao Yao would pick up the eggs in the morning and evening, and would wash and dry the eggs one by one before selling them to make them look better.

The water that Lianbao was splashed twice was exactly the water used to wash eggs in the morning and evening.

Before noon, Shao Yao would come back from the market, and her mother would stand guard at the door, waiting to collect money from selling eggs.

Then Shaoyao has to cook, cook and clean up. Later, she goes to the chicken garden to feed the chickens and pick up a round of eggs.

Some of the chicken food for the chickens comes from rotten vegetables sold by others in the market, some of them are dross, and some of them are vegetables grown by Shaoyao herself.

I was so busy that I came back in the evening to cook water and cook food, and prepare for the next day's business.

It can be said that Shaoyao works from morning to night, that is, late at night, Lianbao occasionally hears her working.

Her old mother swears and curses when she does a little work, the old man has a job as a waiter, but he is an alcoholic and shameless, and his younger brother is eight or nine years old, obese, arrogant and unreasonable.

The whole family treats her not like a relative but more like a maid.

The reason why she hasn't married at seventeen or eight is all because of Shao Yao's family.

I wanted to sell for a price, and wanted to marry Shaoyao for a good price, so as to be a dowry gift for her younger brother's future wife, and this dragged on until seventeen or eighteen.

Shaoyao didn't talk much, and Lianbao stayed by for a few days, only hearing her saying things like "the rice is ready" and "the water is ready".

That evening, Lian Bao and Shao Yao met at the alley.

Lian Bao subconsciously looked at her hand. This time, instead of carrying a basin, she was carrying a heavy basket covered with a coarse cloth.

Shaoyao also saw him, paused, then walked a few steps with her head down, then suddenly came back and walked in front of him, under Lianbao's guard and puzzlement, she took out a few eggs from the basket and stuffed them over.

"I'm sorry, those two times I didn't mean it, I...I..., you take it, if there is another time, I will wash your clothes for you."

Shao Yao finished stuffing the eggs, turned around and left immediately, Lian Bao didn't even have time to react, she had already entered the house
Holding a few eggs in her hand, Lian Bao was shocked, and a thought filled her mind: She could recognize him in disguise.

One day, Lianbao went into the rented house with a few eggs, full of worries.

It took them countless efforts to find this place, and they couldn't fall short. But if this woman can recognize him in disguise, she can also recognize other people in disguise. If it gets out, they will be exposed.

The people at the bottom didn't know what Lian Bao was thinking, they were surprised how there were a few eggs, they fried them and ate them directly.

Lian Bao didn't wake up until she heard the abuse from the neighbor.

The old lady next door is scolding Shao Yao, she counts eggs every day, why are there fewer eggs picked today than in the past, did she hide them.

Lianbao only heard Shaoyao explain that the hen was in a bad mood recently, so she didn't speak again.

The abuse from next door grew louder, the old lady was not in a good mood, no matter what the hen's mood was, she threatened Shaoyao to tell where she hid the eggs, and knocked the stick loudly: "If it wasn't for you, I would beat the old lady to death." you."

But Shaoyao never said a word, she just did what she should do.

Lian Bao suddenly felt relieved, he had an intuition that this woman would not tell about him.

At night, Lian Bao suddenly asked the people below: "If a hen is in a bad mood, will she not lay eggs?"

The people below scratched their heads and thought: "My lord, I don't know, why do you suddenly care about the hen?"

Could it be related to the case?The people below guessed.

Lian Bao shook her head and stopped talking, secretly laughing that her thoughts were confused, for some reason, all she could think about was that the hen was in a bad mood.

Lianbao met Shaoyao again in their family's chicken garden, which was surrounded by a fence.

When he walked there, he saw Shaoyao feeding the chickens.

The woman hummed a song softly, the country tune accompanied by the Jiangnan soft language, it was very beautiful.

It was the first time Lian Bao saw the woman's appearance in private, she was very relaxed and bright, and she was not depressed because of her situation, which was different from the appearance she had seen several times.

He walked over involuntarily, stopped and listened for a long time, until Shaoyao found out that she was startled, and the singing stopped abruptly.

"Why are you here?" Shao Yao blushed a little, she didn't expect someone to be there.

Lian Bao said, "Passing by."

One question and one answer, and they were speechless after talking.

The scene fell silent for a moment, only the sound of the hens eating and clucking.

Shao Yao didn't know what to say to break the silence, held back for a long time, and said: "Do you still want to eat eggs? It tastes delicious when fried."

Lian Bao smiled, his eyes were bright, and he asked the question that haunted his mind: "If a hen is in a bad mood, she won't lay eggs?"

Shao Yao was taken aback for a moment, then embarrassment flashed past, knowing that someone had heard her.

She turned around and said affirmatively: "Well, they also have emotions, just like people. They will be happy, depressed, and angry. Like hens, they sing proudly after laying eggs, hoping to attract attention and praise them. If you give them some food rewards, they will be very happy, and the eggs laid the next day will be big and good."

When she said this, Shao Yao evenly moved the chicken food in the trough, making room for a pullet that couldn't get enough food outside the trough and turned around anxiously.

Lian Bao suddenly felt that this woman was very soft, she was undoubtedly a weak person, but she was living seriously, listening to and protecting those who were weaker than her, even though they were just chickens raised by her.

"Shaoyao, how about feeding the chicken?"

A sound broke the silence, someone came from a distance with a birdcage, and asked Shaoyao with a smile.

Lian Bao followed the voice, fixed her gaze, and calmly became alert.

The person who came was the second in command of the Guo family in Jiangnan!

Shao Yao put down the work she was doing, straightened up and walked forward, bowing her head and saying hello: "Master Qian."

Called Lord Qian to approach, with a kind smile on his face, looked at the chickens and asked: "It's a good day today, how about the eggs you picked?"

Shao Yao answered sullenly: "It's still the same."

"You girl, talk to me more, and I won't do anything to you." Master Qian smiled and shook his head helplessly.

Then, as if he had just seen Lianbao, he couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this? You don't seem familiar, new here?"
