The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 91 New Boots for Lunar New Year

He Yao was thinking about her words, "But Mr. Gu, I plan to rest for a while..."

"An inch of time is worth an inch of gold. You are young now, so you should hurry up and work hard." Gu Tingzhou could not resist, "Go back and prepare, and enter the Guo Mansion in three days."

He Yao really wanted to give him a blow.

After being judged by Tiansi, He Yao took the silver reward and bought rouge, gouache and a few silk flowers on Tongtuo Street. After the New Year, she would be 16 years old, and it was time to learn to dress herself up.

She also bought a new pair of boots for Yuan Wan. The thick-soled boots made of cowhide were a newly popular style among young men in Luo Jing. They made them look energetic.

Wearing a red coat and skirt, she walked happily through the alleys to the house with the things she bought in her arms.

Turning the corner of the street, she saw a group of children gathered under the old sycamore tree, shaking their heads and reading in a childlike voice: "At the beginning of human beings, nature is good. Sex is similar, but habits are far away..."

They were still very young and didn't quite understand what they were reading, so they just recited it steadily.

Patience was exhausted, so under the cover of books, they secretly winked and laughed at each other.

The autumn wind is blowing everywhere, and the golden sycamore leaves are fluttering.

He Yao didn't like reading herself, but she felt inexplicably happy watching others reading and doing homework, so she watched for a long time before skipping back home.

As soon as he entered the house, Butler Liu came up to him in a panic, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him. He lowered his voice in horror: "Second girl, my cousin is here and she is sitting in the main hall!"

He Yao's apricot eyes instantly widened and chirped.

He Yao is the naughtiest girl of the He family in Luojing, and the cousin of the He family is the naughtiest girl of the He family in Northwest Ningzhou.

She is one year younger than He Yao and is the granddaughter of He Yao's grandfather's brother. Because her mother wanted her to be beautiful and her father wanted her to be strong and strong, they gave her a name and a surname. It's called He Mei Bear.

He Meixiong loves the liveliness of Luojing during the Chinese New Year the most. Every winter, he runs from Ningzhou to Luojing alone. He tastes all the delicious food and drink he sees. He Yao's wardrobe suffers from it even more. She almost wore all the nicer dresses.

But he is also very good at fighting. He often pesters He Yao to fight, and can fight from early morning to dusk.

He Yao hurriedly pushed the newly bought things in her arms to Butler Liu, "Hide it for me quickly——"

"Hide what?"

A crisp voice came suddenly.

At the end of the corridor, a girl in a plain gray jacket and skirt is like a free sparrow, running straight towards it cheerfully.

The girl has no hairpins from head to toe, and the only precious thing is a lily silver hairpin on her hair. Because she has been running under the sun in the northwest all year round, her skin is slightly dark, but her facial features are refreshing and beautiful. When she smiles, she is sweet and wild, like It is a sour wild fruit that grows in the border town of the desert.

She hugged He Yao and said, "Second cousin, I have missed you this year! By the way, what did you say you were hiding?"

She let go of He Yao, and took the things in Butler Liu's hand, "Oh, rouge powder! There are also silk flowers, so beautiful, we don't have such a style in Ningzhou. Are you buying these for me? Thank you Second cousin!”

The little girl was so happy that she picked up the silk flower and tied it on her head.

He Yao said awkwardly, "If you like it, I can give it to you."

"Boots..." He Meixiong touched the delicate upper of the boots again, "Second cousin, I heard that your fiancé came to Luojing from Liangzhou. Are you buying this for him? Second cousin, I haven't seen him yet. , is his kung fu good? How does he compare to my brother? Second cousin, he better not be a scholar, otherwise I will not welcome him. I will ask him to compete with me. If he can't beat me, he is not worthy of being my brother-in-law. !”

The little girl turned and walked away.

He Yao was frightened. Little Marquis had no power to restrain a chicken. Wasn't he looking for death when he faced He Meixiong?
She quickly grabbed He Meixiong, "Wait!"

He Meixiong was puzzled, "Second cousin, I haven't seen you for a year, where has your boldness gone? You are so coquettish, you are not the daughter of our He family!"

He Yao had no choice but to say sincerely: "Young Master is indeed a scholar, not proficient in riding and archery. If you ask him to learn from him, isn't this bullying? Or, I will learn from you?"

He Meixiong's face suddenly filled with disgust, he crossed his arms and spat, "Bah, the dignified brother-in-law of the He family doesn't know how to ride and shoot kung fu! He can't even conquer our daughter's family, how can we conquer the barbarians in the future?! I don't want, I don't want such a brother-in-law!"

She was very capricious. After losing her temper, she threw the new pair of boots on the ground, stomped on them, and ran away in a hurry.

He Yao bent down to pick up the boots and wiped away the shoe prints on them distressedly.

Butler Liu laughed, "Miss Biao has such a temperament. When she grows up in the future, it will be fine if she gets married. She comes to Luojing alone to celebrate the New Year, and the second girl will take care of it."

"I'm a grown up girl, so I won't take her childishness to heart."

He Yao cleaned her new boots and continued to look for Yuan Wan in a happy mood.

Yuan Wang is looking at the account in the study.

The account book of the Mantou Grotto survived the fire by luck.

Now that he has obtained the token, all the power of Mantou Cave belongs to him, and he has ordered his men to rebuild Mantou Cave.

The original name was unlucky, so in order to celebrate the new year, he changed the name of the steamed bun cave to the Lunar New Year. He also reached an agreement with Gu Tingzhou that he would no longer do anything illegal and disrespectful to human life, and he would also give out [-]% of the profits every year. Honor the court.

But privately, he planned to continue selling weapons and armor to aristocratic families. This was a good business that made a lot of money every day.

"Young Master?"

There was a polite knock on the door.

Yuan Wang hid the ledger, pretended to open a collection of poems, "Please come in."

He Yao came in with her new boots in her hands, and seeing him reading, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Master, am I bothering you?"

Yuan Wang noticed that she was wearing a new jacket and skirt.

The brand-new red jacket dress, although there is still no gorgeous and complicated embroidery, but the tailoring fits well, making it look like a slender and tall figure in Lunar New Year, with a ruddy complexion and a delicate face, like a pretty bird on a winter plum branch in winter.

He felt that their relationship should go further, so he said: "It's always strange to call me Young Master, why don't you change your name?"

He Yao's face turned red, and she shyly said to her, "Then...then I'll call you Brother Yuan, okay?"

The little lady spoke softly, and in the study room on a winter afternoon, she exuded a warm, sweet and soft breath, like a drunken date that was sweet to the heart after one bite.

Outside the study, He Meixiong, who came to eavesdrop, rolled his eyes to the sky, imitating He Yao's tone, and said in a sinister manner: "'Brother Yuan', 'Brother Yuan', it's not disgusting! Huh, I'll go in as soon as you leave. Beat him up!"

In the room, He Yao presented new boots like a treasure, "I recently got a sum of money by chance. Here, I bought new boots for Brother Yuan. See if you like it."

Yuan Lu was stunned.

He touched the new boots. The boots were made of cowhide and inlaid with a layer of thick and fine cashmere. They would not freeze your feet even in the cold winter.

Naturally, he couldn't put it down because of the gift from Lunar New Year, but...
