The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 32 Tiger Guard
Sleeping until dark, Xuan Shijing got up and got out of bed, stretched, put on a thick velvet robe, put on slippers, opened the door, and went out.

"Where's Long'er?" Xuan Shijing called a servant girl and asked.

"Go back to the little lord, Long'er is preparing dinner for the little lord in the kitchen." The servant girl blessed Fushen and said.

"Okay, then go ahead." Xuan Shijing signaled the maid to back down, then went back to the room, changed clothes and shoes, and walked to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Long'er was busy frying eggplant boxes, when she turned her head suddenly, she saw Xuan Shijing walking into the kitchen.

"Little Hou Ye woke up, why did you come to the kitchen? After a while, Long'er will send it to your room." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing at the door and said, remembering that there was still an eggplant box fried in the pot Well, hurry up and turn over the eggplant box.

"Anyway, I'm bored staying in the house, so come and have a look." Xuan Shijing walked into the kitchen and came to the table. There was an eggplant box made by Long'er on the table. Xuan Shijing picked one up and took a bite , nodded in praise: "Long'er's craftsmanship is getting better and better."

After hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Long'er showed a smile on her face: "Thank you for the compliment, Young Master. Long'er thinks that Young Master's skills must be better than Long'er, because these are all taught by Young Master."

Xuan Shijing shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily true, maybe I can only talk but not do it. By the way, Long'er, how old are you after the Chinese New Year?"

"Master Hou, how can you ask a girl's age so directly." Long'er scolded, "After this year, Long'er will be 15 years old."

"I'll go!" Xuan Shijing swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at Long'er in surprise: "You're only 15 years old?!"

Long'er took out the eggplant box from the pot, and nodded to Xuan Shijing: "Yes, why is Lord Hou so surprised? Long'er has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she is indeed taller than her peers."

A deep sense of guilt, Xuan Shijing's heart is surging, this girl is still a child laborer, and look at the eggplant box in her hand, it was made by a 15-year-old girl.

"Long'er, don't do these things in the future, just let the cook in the house do it." Xuan Shijing said, at Long'er's age, she will be a junior high school student in later generations, and it would be difficult for a junior high school student to do so much work. Xuan Shijing couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart.

Unexpectedly, Long'er refused straight away.

"Young Master, how can it be done? You taught Long'er this, and Long'er should not spread it. Besides, Long'er is still the secretary of Young Master. Of course, the food of Young Master must be controlled by Long. Long'er is not at ease if I do it myself, and other people will do it." Long'er extinguished the fire in the stove, and brought the newly prepared dishes to Xuan Shijing.

It can be seen that Long'er is still a little paranoid about being persecuted.

After sleeping all afternoon, Xuan Shijing was really hungry. At the banquet after the court meeting, he was busy talking with Li Chengqian, but didn't eat much. What's more, the things made in the palace are not as delicious as Longer's. .

"Master Hou, slow down, it's not easy to digest if you eat dinner too fast." Long'er urged from the side.

"It's okay, let's go for a walk in the back garden after eating, and take a look at Dabao and Erbao by the way." Xuan Shijing said: "Enjoy a few days of leisure. After the first month, I will enter the palace as soon as you are a marquis." It's like the sea."

"What is Hou Ye doing in the palace?" Long'er was puzzled.

"Today, His Majesty said at the banquet that I will go to the palace to attend studies after I leave the first month." Xuan Shijing said while eating: "I have read a lot of books when I am bored at home. If you let me and Jin The king went to a private school together, how boring, if I followed the crown prince to the Hongwen Museum, I would still feel uncomfortable as a child mixed with a group of half-grown children, by the way, have you brought the five hundred copper coins that His Majesty rewarded you?"

"It was delivered in the evening, and it has already been put into storage. Young Master, you are really good. Before, you didn't care about the affairs of the house, and the house was very tight. You've only been taking care of it for a few days now, and we have extra money on hand. "Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing with admiration.

"What's the matter, it's just that no one in our family knew how to make money in the past, and they all cared about the face of being an honorable man. I don't have so many scruples, Lord Hou. This is where I am going. Don't worry, our family's money in the future will Counting will definitely make your hands cramp, and then Long'er, you don't have to do anything, just squat in the warehouse and count money all day long." Xuan Shijing broke a piece of steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth: "Long'er, next time Pound some garlic juice and eat it with the eggplant box, it's a bit greasy to eat like this."

"Understood, Lord Hou." Long'er nodded.

"I'm full, let's go, let's go and see Dabao and Erbao." Xuan Shijing put down the chopsticks and steamed buns in his hands, got up and patted the crumbs he was afraid of falling on himself, and took two roasted chicken legs.

I followed Long'er to the back garden of the Hou Mansion, and after a stroll, I arrived at the place where Dabao and Erbao were raised.

The tiger's nose is naturally sensitive, maybe it smelled Xuan Shijing's breath, Erbao ran out happily, ran to Xuan Shijing's body, and rubbed Xuan Shijing's clothes.

Xuan Shijing reached out and touched Er Bao's head, and smiled helplessly: "Er Bao, you are a tiger, not a cat." He sent a chicken leg in front of Er Bao, and Er Bao opened his mouth to take it, holding the chicken leg After taking a few steps back, he began to bite.The other chicken leg in his hand was naturally prepared for Dabao. Although Dabao was blind in one eye, Xuan Shijing found that his ears were becoming more and more sensitive. He probably heard Xuan Shijing and Long'er. Footsteps sounded, and Erbao was relieved to come out alone.

"Great treasure." Xuan Shijing called out.

I only heard a low growl not far away, as if responding to Xuan Shijing. After a while, a huge figure appeared in Xuan Shijing's sight. Dabao walked steadily towards Xuan Shijing with steady steps. Come here.

"Dabao, the meat for you is cooked." Xuan Shijing smiled and threw the chicken leg in his hand to Dabao. Dabao made a tiger pounce and caught the chicken leg in his mouth.

Xuan Shijing said to Long'er who was behind him: "It seems that Gao Jun has trained the big and second treasures well, and he hasn't lost his wildness, which is very good."

Dabao's chicken leg was just biting into his mouth, but suddenly he let it go, making a deep growl.

"What's the matter?" Xuan Shijing was puzzled, and looked at Dabao's vigilant expression.

Er Bao's eyes also became sharper, with his back to Xuan Shijing, as if he was protecting Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing turned her head to look at Long'er, seeing that Long'er also had a serious face.

"Little Marquis, there are people coming from the mansion, and the way is unclear." Long'er frowned and said, but she was wondering why Gao Jun didn't stop them.

Before Xuan Shijing could react, there were several black figures in the garden, all in black night clothes, with cloth scarves covering their faces, and after seeing Xuan Shijing, they slowly approached here.

Long'er stretched out her hand to protect Xuan Shijing, staring nervously at the men in black in front of her.

Dabao's only remaining eye showed a fierce light, and he raised his head to the sky and let out a long cry, which really scared the men in black.

"How could there be a tiger in the Hou's mansion." The man in black was shocked.

Dabao took advantage of the moment when the people in front of him were stupefied, a tiger pounced on him, and bit the neck of one of the men in black, with a click, the man's neck was bitten off by Dabao, and he died on the spot.Seeing this, Xuan Shijing couldn't help taking a breath, and secretly rejoiced that Dabao had a good understanding of humanity and was familiar with the people in the house.

The little second treasure in front of Xuan Shijing also had a pair of tiger eyes glowing with green light. He looked very excited and imitated Dabao's appearance, and rushed towards another man in black, but because he was young and his body was not as good as Dabao's , the strength is far from that of Dabao, so he didn't throw the man in black to the ground, but just left a wound on the man with his sharp claws.
