Chapter 111

Mr. Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "You forget that girl is a lover of money, you don't have to accept Xiao Xin as a foster son, and Xiao Xin will not easily accept someone as a father. His ambition is very lofty. When you see that little guy in the future , you will know."

"Mr. Liu, you know that there are many rules in the royal family. By the way, is that girl A Xiao short of money? Then I can give her ten thousand taels of gold to repay her for saving her life. However, I don't even have a decent dress on me right now." No, I can't get the money out, why don't I give her an IOU. However, the fight against the barbarians can't be delayed any longer, how do you two think this problem should be solved?" Prince Shangguan is very bachelor Confidently put the status quo in front of the two elders.

Then he smiled and said: "I can agree to the IOU for A Xiao, but your creditor has to change it and write it as owed to me and Mr. Liu. This girl, in a short time, will recognize you as a Adoptive father, this adoptive father is also a father. By then, you will all become a family. It is not easy for a girl to ask you for this money. So, when the time comes, I, the master, and Mr. Liu, the grandfather, I will definitely help Ah Xiao get back the debt."

When Lord Shangguan heard this, his face blushed, and he pretended to wait until Fang Xiao was accepted as a adopted daughter, and he would become a family. How could the adopted daughter come to ask for life-saving money to save the adoptive father.However, his little thought was exposed by Cai Lao, and he felt a little regretful in his heart. He shouldn't be so generous and pay 1 taels of gold all at once.However, it's too late to say anything now. Seeing the way Mr. Liu and Mr. Cai took out a pen and paper, and the other vacated the table for him to write the IOU, the 1 taels of gold could not be lost.

There was no way, Lord Shangguan gritted his teeth, and still wrote the IOU and stamped his fingerprints.The two elders put away the IOU in satisfaction, and said: "This is A Xiao's house, which is not suitable for Prince Xiao to live in. How about it, there is a side room next to our room. If Prince Xiao doesn't dislike it, you can move there to live. However, now our village is overcrowded, and there is no separate courtyard for the prince to live in, so if the prince doesn't want to live in our small courtyard, he can only go out and squeeze with others."

Lord Shangguan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I used to squeeze through the Datong shop in the barracks with the soldiers, and now I have a separate side room, which is very satisfying. I will go there with the two of you." Saying that, he Immediately stood up, but because of being drugged and locked in the box for many days, the prince felt dizzy when he stood up, his vision blurred, and he almost fell down again.He hurriedly supported the table, his face became very pale.

Mr. Liu shouted to the outside: "Ah Xiao, come in, there is a patient here who needs to be diagnosed and treated."

Fang Xiao was kicking the stones under her feet boredly, and was kicked out of her house. This experience was quite new, and she didn't want to seek abuse from her group of juniors, brothers and sisters, so she had to wander outside the yard.At this moment, when she heard Liu calling her, she ran into the house quickly, and saw the prince sitting on a chair with a pale face, while the two elders were sitting leisurely drinking tea.

Fang Xiao stepped forward, grabbed the prince's wrist, felt his pulse for a while, then rolled the prince's eyelids, took a look, and said, "There's nothing serious about it, it's just that I've taken too many drugs, and I don't eat on time. Malnutrition. It’s okay, drink plenty of water and eat on time. However, the food in the village is a little expensive now. I don’t know if Uncle Shangguan has money to buy it. Your stomach is a little empty now, and eating coarse grains may cause indigestion, but I can It might be better to grind the coarse grains for you before cooking them." Fang Xiao smiled like a little fox.

"You think coarse grains become fine grains when they are ground finely. Are you bullying Prince Xiao who doesn't know how to farm?" Cai Lao knocked on Fang Xiao's head, a little funny, and said, "Prince Xiao said that in order to repay you For your life-saving grace, I decided to give you 1 taels of gold. However, the gold can only be obtained after he returns to the capital. Therefore, Mr. Liu and I will help you accept the IOU. The prince has a family and country in his heart. The people of the world, the prince is righteous, is going to get a rebel army out of the barbarian-occupied area, so as to relieve the pressure on the soldiers in front. However, he needs to borrow your weapons and the people in the stockade to contain the barbarians. In order to repay you Because of your patriotism, I decided to accept you as a foster daughter."

The more Fang Xiao listened, the wider her eyes opened. What happened here? She just went out and walked around, and she had an extra prince and foster father, and an extra income of 1 taels of gold. However, that money It was taken away by grandpa and master.No, the key question is that she came to this prince to find out the reason for the beating of the soul orb, but why did she find a father to take care of her.She felt that the amount of information was too much, and she had some poor reception.

Seeing Fang Xiao's small mouth open in surprise, Mr. Liu slapped Fang Xiao's head and said, "That's it, we've already made plans for you. Listen to us, that's right. By the way , your adoptive father is going to live with us now, so you, the adoptive daughter, should help him arrange the board and lodging during his stay in the village. Although you don’t understand the war, Ah Zhan They are good hands, and they are your good brothers, so you can go to them to discuss, they will be very happy. Also, if you need any medicine, go to my pharmacy and get it yourself, and I will help you The adoptive father treated the disease. Alright, let's take your adoptive father there first, and you go and find him a decent dress!" The two elders said, and left with Shangguan Xiao on their arms.

Seeing that the second elder was telling the truth, Fang Xiao couldn't accept it, and wanted to say something, but Liu Lao said: "Hurry up and get the medicine and boil it, otherwise, your foster father's body will really not be able to hold on. Be obedient!" Fang Xiao Xiao could only watch them leave the house.

Fang Xiao walked out of the room, turned to the backs of the three, and whispered, "But, I don't want to find a father to take care of me."

"Senior Sister, you don't really like that old guy, do you?" Five little heads poked out from the back of the room.

Fang Xiao tapped everyone on the head, and said, "Have you finished the training that Master gave you?" The five little guys stuck out their tongues at Fang Xiao, and the little junior sister stretched out her hand to shave her face and said : "Elder Sister, the aunt next door said that you hate getting married."

"Uncle Gen said, you are so old and you haven't found a husband's family, so it will be difficult to marry in the future." Seventh Junior Brother said.

"Uncle Fu said, you can no longer choose now, just find someone with full arms and legs, and you can marry." Junior Sister Jiu said.

"Master said that Senior Sister has no worries about marrying. If Senior Sister wants to marry, those who want to marry our Senior Sister can line up from the stockade to the foot of the mountain. You are all in vain to worry about!" Sixth Junior Brother stood on Fang Xiao's side .

Fang Xiao glared at the little guys, and said: "Don't listen to those seven aunts and eight aunts talking nonsense, when did I say that your senior sister is going to get married? Go, go, do your homework, and the senior sister will check later of!"

"Ah, big sister, please let us go, we have read the characters with Xiao Wu for a long time today. Let's go play for a while! It's only half a day, don't tell the master." The little guys hurried plead.

Fang Xiao had no choice but to wave his hands and said: "Okay, okay, you go and play, don't talk nonsense, you know?"

"Master is the best!"

"Thank you, big sister!"

"I like the big sister the most!"

The little ones scattered.Fang Xiao stood in the yard, thought for a while, and went back to his room, and took out some pictures of retro weapons that he had made in the past two years.It is a blueprint of an improved version of the siege trebuchet.If such a siege catapult is built, the barbarians will not be able to defend all the cities occupied by the barbarians, because its destructive power is ten times that of the original catapult, and it also has fire attack skills, plus precision Its striking speed, eight times its range, and its flexible mobility allow it to be flexibly hidden in the mountains and dense forests, and it can also be moved quickly. If the barbarians can't grasp its exact route of action, they can only be beaten.Fang Xiao believes that seeing such a thing, the prince will definitely be tempted. In this way, she can propose an exchange condition so that she can find out what is the reason for her soul bead to beat.

She took the opportunity to check the prince's body carefully, and when she touched the pulse of Shangguan prince, the beating frequency of the soul bead between the eyebrows was almost in sync with the heartbeat frequency of the prince, which made her almost It is certain that the thing that makes the soul orb jump is hidden in the prince.However, the specific hiding place can only be confirmed by a full-body examination.However, in order for the prince to agree to her to have a full-body examination, he must show the benefits that make the prince tempted.Therefore, Fang Xiao immediately thought of the blueprints he drew on a whim when he was learning those mechanical principles.

Seeing his grandfather and master coming out of the side room, Fang Xiao casually found a set of oversized clothes for his juniors, held them in his hands and walked over.

"My lord, are you resting?" Fang Xiao knocked on the door of the side room.

"Is it Miss A Xiao? Please come in!" Shangguan Xiao said very politely. He has not yet confiscated the little girl as a foster daughter, and he still owes her 1 taels of gold.The next food and drink will also be provided by the little girl.Therefore, he must be more polite.

"My lord, it's like this. When I took my pulse just now, I found that my lord's body is a little different. But I couldn't find out the specific difference. So I want to help my lord to take another look. Still Yes, here is a set of my junior brother's clothes, his stature is about the same as the lord's, bring it to the lord to try it out and see if it fits." Fang Xiao put the blueprint in his clothes and handed it over.

Shangguan Xiao took the clothes, shook them out and compared them on his body.At this time, a blueprint floated out of the clothes.It fell to the prince's feet.Fang Xiao took a look, and hurried forward embarrassedly to pick up the blueprints that fell on the ground.Shangguan Xiao's eyes lit up, he quickly picked up the drawing, and looked at it carefully.

"Miss A Xiao, this is?"

"I scribbled on it casually, please return it to me, my lord."

"No, no, this is a treasure. Is this painted by Miss A Xiao?"

"Yes, I still have a few pictures I drew. If you don't believe me, you can show them to the prince."

"This picture, can Miss A Xiao give it to me?"

"Although I drew this picture casually, my grandfather said that I can't show it to outsiders casually, so please return it to me, my lord."

"Miss A Xiao, as long as you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, your grandfather won't know about it. Besides, I don't want this blueprint for nothing. If you have any requests, just ask, and I will try my best to meet them."

"Well, my lord, let me give you a full body examination."

"What? What does the girl want?" Shangguan Xiao's voice was visibly trembling.

"If the prince is not willing, then just pretend I didn't mention it." Fang Xiao took the drawing back from the prince's hand while the prince was in a daze.
