Jinghong Tower

The parrot looked confused, looking at the little chamberlain, then at the emperor, and then at the small plate that was even emptier than its pocket.

The emperor raised his leg and gave the young chamberlain a kick: "Go and get the bananas that were just paid tribute!"

Cut the banana into small pieces and put it on the jade plate. The parrot smelled it and said, hey, isn't this a banana? Why are they called differently?

"My little darling, these are the bananas brought as tribute from the south. You must have never eaten them, right?" the emperor said with a smile.

The parrot glanced at him and took a peck reservedly. The little waiter clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Eat it!"

Then, the master and the servant looked at it together: "Speak, speak quickly!"

The parrot took another bite and then said slowly: "Long live!"

"Your Majesty, even the parrots are shouting to you, long live, long live, long live, long live!"

Parrot: Mountain call? What is that call?

In Laomofang Alley, Xiaoba never came back. It was not until the third watch that Xiaoba's voice sounded over the yard: "La la la, la la la, I am the newspaper seller."

Suddenly remembering that his master didn't let him sing at night, Xiaoba quickly silenced himself and carefully landed in front of the window.

Hey, what's going on? Mommy didn't leave the door open for it!

Is this because you dislike it for coming back late?

Xiaoba quickly admitted his mistake: "Forgive me, kid, the Lun family is still a fifty-year-old baby."

No one paid any attention to it.

It must be that the way it admits its mistakes is wrong, change it to another.

"I made a mistake, but I just made the same mistake that all men in the world make."

This time someone finally paid attention to it.

Shoumei heard the sound and came over: "Eighth Master, you still know how to come back. The eldest daughter-in-law has gone on a long journey. Before she left, she said she won't take you with her this time and asked you to wait for her at home."

Xiaoba was scared and turned around in circles several times.

Does the owner not want it again?

Last time, the owner told her to shut up, but she refused to shut up. The owner got angry and left alone without taking her with her. She waited and waited. Zuo Xiaoai turned from a big girl into an old woman before her owner came back.

Will we have to wait so long this time?

Xiaoba went to see Shoumei. Shoumei saw Xiaoba looking at her and asked, "Master Ba, what do you think I am doing?"

Xiaoba: "Shoumei is not a big girl anymore. When the boss comes back, Shoumei will become an old woman. Old Shoumei, old Shoumei, Master Ba is going to find the master!"

Shoumei: You are only old. You are much older than me!

But what does it say? Want to find the owner? That won't work!

Dogs can smell and horses can know the way. How can a bird find its owner?

Shoumei quickly coaxed it: "The boss said she will be back in a few days, be good and don't run around."

"How many days will it be?" Xiaoba asked.

"Nine days, nine days." Shoumei made up nonsense. She didn't know when the master would come back. She had to stabilize the ancestor first.

"Eighth Master believes in you once. Eighth Master is going back to the palace. Please kneel down and pay your respects!"

Shoumei: Where did you learn such rebellious words?

The eighth master's palace consists of a birdcage bigger than a dog cage, huanghuali furniture, and a beauty mirror from the West. Mr. Ba returned to his cage and looked in the mirror. He was more handsome today than yesterday.

Ba Ye stood on the shelf and sighed with infinite emotion: "Golden nests and silver nests are all inferior to Ba Ye's bird's nest."

Master Ba needs to recharge his batteries and go to the endless yard tomorrow. The fool in the yellow robe is still waiting to serve him.

He Ran didn't even think about where her Xiaoba would go.

The distance from the capital to Shunde Mansion was nearly a thousand miles. In the evening of the next day, the group arrived at the city gate.

Because it was a temporary decision, He Ran did not ask anyone to pass the message to Xiaokui Feige. When he arrived at the city gate, he saw the city gates closing and opening, and the people waiting to enter the city were noisy and crying. There was a sound, and someone was checking the passers-by at the city gate.

Xiaoli was surprised: "This is stricter than the investigation in Beijing."

The reason why I say this is because although the city gates in the capital can also be checked, they only check the road directions, but here, it seems to be a body search.

Xiaoli got off her horse, ran over, squeezed into the crowd and had a look, and when she came back she had a look of surprise on her face.

"While searching, only women were searched, young and old, including little girls in their teens. Men were not searched, and they were let through with a wave of their hands."

He Ran was also a little surprised. She had also seen people search people in the city, but most of them were to catch wanted criminals, and women were generally not searched.

"These cries are from the women being searched? Are they women searching women?" He Ran asked.

Xiaoli nodded: "The ones responsible for the body search are two female jailers, but after all, they have to be touched here and there in front of everyone, so..."

He Ran understood, but some people found it embarrassing and were scared to tears.

At this time, Liu Xia also came back and said to He Ran: "I heard about it. They want to arrest a young woman. It is said that she is a giant thief. There is information that she is coming to Shunde Mansion, so Shunde Mansion has been at the gate of the city since this morning. Investigate strictly."

He Ran became interested: "Then why do you need to search me? Why do you want to search the old lady too?"

Liu Xia didn't know either. She hesitated and said, "Maybe she is afraid that she will bring weapons into the city? Are you searching the old lady for fear that she has accomplices?"

He Ran smiled, is the old lady an accomplice? Well, think about Li Jinxiu. At this age, he can still wield a big gun and beat people up, so it is not impossible to speculate that the old lady is an accomplice.

Fortunately, for the convenience of traveling, they all dressed up as men. Even the road signs said they were men.

In fact, as long as you look carefully, you will find that they don't really look like men, but there is a mess at the gate of the city. Some people are crying and some are scolding. If you see a man coming in, who will check whether you are a boy or a girl? Anyway, Lu Yin is a man, so that’s fine.

A few people entered the city without any effort. By this time, it was already dark. They did not go to Jinghong Tower, but to Xiaokui's home.

Xiaoli had lived there for two years and was very familiar with it. She always dreamed of coming back and volunteered to lead the way. A group of people walked into an alley. Several children were playing at the entrance of the alley. When they saw them dismounting at the entrance of the alley, they ran away. He came over and asked, "Are you here to pay your respects to Grandma He?"

As he got closer, He Ran took a closer look. All these children were girls.

"Are you all from Grandma He's family?" He Ran asked with a smile.

"Yes, we are all granddaughters of Grandma He. Who are you?" asked a five or six-year-old girl with a soft and waxy voice.

He Ran smiled and said: "Go and tell you Grandma He that her girl is here."

"I know who you are!" the little girl said loudly.

He Ran was curious: "How did you know?"

The little girl puffed up her little breasts and said, "Grandma He said that her girl is Master He, and Master He is her girl!"
