Chapter 56 - Night Lights
Li Kong blushed, pointed at the shopkeeper and said, "You have to take the money if you take it, or you have to take it if you don't take it!" Young Master, otherwise his Drunken Wind Building might not last long.

After leaving Zuifeng Tower, they said goodbye to each other, Xiao Po couldn't wait any longer, took Aqiuxiu and Aqiuling, and went straight to Alun's shop in the ancient city of Galash, and at the same time sent people back to Guoshi's mansion to prepare carriages and horses.To take the godmother and sister back home.

A Qiuling led the way, chatting chatteringly, the three of them headed towards A Lun's shop, A Qiuxiu lowered her head and followed behind without opening her mouth.Xiao Po watched his younger sister jumping in front of him, thinking that he would see his godmother soon, he was very happy and talked to her cheerfully.

Slowly turning two streets, A Qiuling pointed to the front and said, "Brother, it's just ahead."

Xiao Po looked, and saw a shop in front, picked up a plaque, on which it said: "Central Plains Merchant Store." There were people going in and out of the shop from time to time, and the business was lively.

A Qiuling said: "Uncle Allen's shop is very big, the first floor is full of sellers, the second floor is also very spacious, and there is a small yard behind, but there is a dog in the yard, so fierce."

Xiao Po said: "Aren't you afraid of dogs? If you feed it something to eat, it won't be so fierce, maybe it will even come to hug your thigh."

"I don't want it to hug my thigh, it's so scary." A Qiuling looked disdainful, and ran over first, saying, "I'll call my mother first."

A Qiuling ran into the shop with a nimble body and called out loudly: "Mother, come out quickly, brother is here."

Xiao Po and the two walked in very quickly, they had already seen the godmother, they called out first, and then said: "Godmother, you have lost weight." Amu Yun followed A Lun's caravan on the road, he was not as old as a young man , It was too much to bear, Xiao Po felt sad when he saw it.

Amu Yun said: "It's okay, I will get fat when I see A Po." While talking, he led Xiao Po to the second floor.Alan also saw Xiao Po over there, hurried over to greet him and went upstairs.

When everyone went upstairs, Abukan's daughter-in-law Achunxue greeted them with tea.Then sit down and talk together.The new king of Tubo ascended the throne, Xiao Pofeng became a major general, although it was only this morning, it has already been spread in the ancient city of Kalash, A Lun congratulated, A Qiuling was happy to hear it, and shouted happily: "Brother has become a general, But no one dares to bully us."

Xiao Po said: "Looking at what Qiu Ling said, even if you don't become a general, no one would dare to bully my sister."

A Qiuling said: "That's not it. Sister Xiu and I went to find you just now, so the shop owner bullied us." Xiao Po laughed, "That's right, that's right, when you go out in the future, I'll bring you some servants and friends." Go, whoever dares to underestimate people, go up and beat him up."

"Brother said so, don't lie to me." A Qiuling was overjoyed.A Qiuxiu interjected: "That will cause brother Xiao Po a lot of trouble."

Amu Yun also wanted to scold her daughter, Xiao Po waved his hands and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I know Qiu Ling is joking, my family Qiu Ling is the most obedient."

Talking and laughing like this, time flies by quickly.

Someone called Alan, and Alan went down to do some business, and came upstairs after a while, saying: "A few people came outside the door, they said they were from the National Teacher's Mansion, Apo, come down quickly."

I don't want the people from the National Teacher's Mansion to come so fast, Xiao Po had ordered them before, and they will come right away.Xiao Po summoned his godmother and others to follow him downstairs, preparing to return home.

When the visitor saw Xiao Po, he respectfully saluted and said, "Young Master Xiao, I asked you everywhere when you came, so you came late." Go back to the teacher's mansion.

The three godmothers had the packages they brought, and their own servants went to take them away.

The National Teacher's Mansion was specially built for Danzhen Hongmu when the late king was alive. It is backed by a mountain and fronted by Guangjie. In this city, it is the third largest private mansion except the Prince's Mansion and the General's Mansion.

Entering the National Teacher's Mansion, A Qiuling cheered and praised, never had they seen such a big mansion.

Xiao Po called Sommerha and ordered them to arrange accommodation for the three of them.When everything is in place, it's time to prepare dinner.

Knowing that the three of them are young master Xiao's relatives, Sommerha specially went to the cellar to fetch a bottle of wine to celebrate the reunion for Xiao Po.

After dinner, night had fallen, Xiao Po knew that the three of them were tired, so he sent them to rest.

After leaving the godmother's room, he was about to go back to rest, but Amuyun called him.

"Godmother, is there anything else?"

Amu Yun said: "I've thought about it and I still want to say a few important words to you."

Xiao Po sat back in the room again, Amuyun went to close the door, and then came over and said: "That child, Aqiuxiu, has a deep affection for you, we didn't bring her with us when we came, but she came secretly without telling her parents, No matter how much you call her, she won't go back. Now it's all like this, you have to make a decision."

Touching the back of his head, Xiao Po was very helpless, "Mother, I don't know what to do?"

Amu Yun said: "A Qiuxiu is kind-hearted and talented, but if he talks less, he will definitely be a good wife and mother in the future. If I make the decision for you, we can make a marriage."

Xiao Po's heart turned elsewhere, as if he wanted to avoid the question, Amu Yun asked again.Xiao Po said: "After I think about it, I decided to give my godmother an answer."

Amu Yun said: "Then you decide as soon as possible!"

Xiao Po agreed, and then went out.Walking back to his room, he was very preoccupied, paced back and forth for a while, but opened the door and walked out.

The light in A Qiuxiu's room was still on, Xiao Po knocked on the door, and a slender voice asked, "Who is it?"

Xiao Po answered, and A Qiuxiu happily ran to open the door.Xiao Po said: "Is Xiu'er still asleep, but you want me to take you out for a walk?"

A Qiuxiu said: "Aren't you going to bother Brother Xiao Po? If you don't bother me, I really want to go out for a walk." Xiao Po nodded, so the two left the State Teacher's Mansion together and headed for the back mountain.

The faint half-bright moon hangs in the sky, against the slight night breeze, it makes people feel refreshed. Under a tall and dense tree, Xiao Po has already sat down first.During the five years of studying art in the National Teacher's Mansion when he was young, under this big tree in the back mountain was the place Xiao Po visited the most.

At night, the ancient city of Karash has changed its appearance. This place is higher, so you can have a glimpse of the night view.The lights are dotted to reflect half of the city, giving people a lot of peace in the tranquility.Xiao Po said: "Does Xiu'er like this place?"

"I like it, I have never seen such a beautiful scenery!"

Looking away, Xiao Po said: "When I was studying art at the National Teacher's Mansion, whenever I had free time, I would come here to play. Sometimes I would crawl on the grass to catch crickets, and sometimes I would climb to the trees to dig out birds' nests. Egg.

Holding up her fragrant gills, A Qiuxiu listened with a slight smile.

Xiao Po continued: "At that time, there was a person who was as lonely and helpless as me, and she came here with me every time. When I was digging out the bird's nest and eggs, she always cheered and cheered under the tree. Take the water bag, throw it up to quench my thirst when I am thirsty."

"Once I fell from a tree and there was a large gash on my foot. She cried in fright. She found grass leaves for me and smashed them up to cover my wound. Another time when I caught crickets I was bitten by a snake, although she was very afraid of snakes, she cried and shouted to drive away the poisonous snake, and sucked the snake venom from my wound."

"Brother Xiao Po, I get it, I know you have someone else in your heart." A Qiuxiu listened, and at some point she was filled with grievances, tears streaming down her face involuntarily, and her moaning voice resounded brightly in the night: "But I, I It's sad just not seeing you. I don't know what to do?"

"Everyone has some interesting things when they were young, and there are some people who can't forget." Xiao Po looked at A Qiuxiu: "And you, is there such a person?"

Stretching out her sleeves to wipe her tears, Ah Qiuxiu didn't dare to raise her head, she just said quietly: "All the boys in the village go swimming in the river to catch fish, and I'm only best friends with Qiuling."

A gust of wind rose at night, blowing A Qiuxiu's temples, she hugged her knees tightly with her elbows.Knowing the coolness of the wind, Xiao Po took off his coat and put it on for her. "It's cold, let's go back!"

A Qiuxiu shook her head vigorously, Xiao Po said again: "Let's go, I'll carry you back."

Xiao Po squatted down, and A Qiuxiu climbed onto his back.Looking down the mountain and walking for a while, A Qiuxiu said: "Brother Xiao Po, can you promise me one thing?"

"Well, you say it!"

A Qiuxiu said: "Don't drive me back, please, let me stay by Brother Xiao Po's side all the time!"

Feeling the girl's warm body on his back, Xiao Po said: "Well, Xiu'er, give me some time, and when I forget that person, I will stay with Xiu'er for the rest of my life." Vest, just want time to stop at this moment.

When he returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, the girl on his back was already asleep, and Xiao Po woke up A Qiuxiu only when he reached the door of the room.A Qiuxiu blushed, rushed into the room and closed the door.

"Xiu'er rest early, I'm going back, remember to be happy!" Hearing the voice go away, A Qiuxiu looked out through the crack of the door, saw Xiao Po's back disappear, and then she suppressed the mood of jumping wildly , go to bed and rest.

Xiao Po went back to his room, and saw someone pacing back and forth at the door from a distance, but it was Sommerha.I don't know why he stays up so late.Xiao Po called out, and invited Suo Moha into the room to sit down, and then asked: "Uncle Suo, what can I do for you?"

Sommerha said: "The young master will soon go to Yangan to put down the chaos, I want to ask the young master for a favor."

"Uncle Suo, please tell me!"

Sommerha said: "I have a son named Suo Edo, who is 18 years old this year. He doesn't do business and keeps causing me trouble. I want to ask the young master to take him out for a walk, to hone it, and put him in the army. Suppress his spirit."

Frowning, Xiao Po said: "This time there are many dangers in the Yangan pacification, isn't Uncle Suo worried about his safety?"

"I believe the young master, if something unexpected happens, he can only be blamed for his fate." Sommerha said firmly.Xiao Po said: "Okay, then I will take him with me, you can call him over tomorrow and let me have a look."

After deciding on this matter, Sommerha felt that his heart had been settled, and he resigned from Xiao Po and left on his own.
