In the Tang Mansion, Tang Xiaohao, who had no idea that his father had just escaped from Hell, was still cooking noodles by himself. He was squatting in the corner, choosing vegetables, and the iron pot on the stove next to him was boiling water. All the servants in the kitchen were standing
Watching from the outside.
Gongsun Fu, the chef of the Tang Mansion, was the apprentice of the royal chef in the palace. He was originally supposed to stay in the palace, but in order to show the royal family's love for Tang Chen and the Nanrong family, the apprentice who had already graduated was sent to the Tang Mansion.
After Gongsun Fu came to the Tang Mansion, the first person he met was Mr. Tang. Because this boy was particularly interested in eating, he would stand in the kitchen and watch Gongsun Fu cooking almost every day. Gongsun Fu originally thought that
This boy was just curious. Unexpectedly, a month later, this boy started cooking by himself. Although the food he cooked was not as good as his own, his skills were far superior to his own when he was an apprentice.
In other words, it took this kid just one month to reach the level of Gongsun Fu's five-year apprenticeship.
Although Gongsun Fu didn't want to believe it, the facts were right in front of him, and he had to accept it. However, Mr. Tang did not have the arrogance of those high-ranking sons and young masters. If it weren't for his appearance and his luxurious clothes, his usual words and deeds would not be the same.
His behavior is no different from that of an ordinary person.
This is also the reason why the servants in the kitchen have a very good relationship with Tang Xiaohao.
Gongsun Fu stood at the door, watching, and said to himself: "Is this boy planning to make Jinyushan Zhennoodles? When did he learn how to make it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Fu found that the original servants beside him were missing. He turned around and found that those people were kneeling on the ground because the eldest lady Tang Weige came over without knowing it with her personal maid.
Gongsun Fu also quickly bowed his head and stood aside. He was considered to have status and was not considered a servant, so there was no need to kneel down and salute.
Tang Weige said leisurely: "What are you doing standing outside?"
Gongsun Fu could only say: "Young Master is in the dining room."
Tang Weige handed the parrot that originally fell on his wrist to the maid, and then walked into the kitchen.
Probably because of genetics, the Tang family all likes to keep pets, but they like different pets.
Tang Chen likes to raise large animals. Someone gave him a leopard many years ago. Unexpectedly, he tamed the leopard and it is still kept in the armored military camp. The eldest daughter Tang Weige likes to raise birds, and her favorite thing is that it can talk.
The second young lady, Tang Wangshu, likes to raise rabbits. She even sleeps with her big, plump rabbit in her arms.
As for Tang Xiaohao, that is raising cats.
Tang Weige walked slowly behind Tang Xiaohao who was choosing vegetables: "What are you doing?"
When Tang Xiaohao heard the eldest sister's voice, he immediately stood up: "I'll cook a bowl of noodles."
Tang Weige frowned: "You cook your own noodles? There are no servants at home, right? What will people think of our Tang family when word spreads about this?"
Tang Weige always looked arrogant, and her words and deeds always showed her noble status. Perhaps because of her grandfather and mother, she looked down on her father Tang Chen from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, she always thought that her surname should be Nan.
Rong, not Tang,
Tang Xiaohao said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, this matter won't spread. Aren't I bored? I can't play outside every day. Those people outside hate me."
Tang Weige said: "You can do it. Now you have become the biggest scumbag in the imperial capital. I heard that you have harmed many girls outside. A few days ago, there was a man who came to the house looking for you with a big belly. Then he
He is missing, what did you do to him?"
The pregnant girl was also hired by Tang Xiaohao to act in a show. She was originally from a juggling troupe. It was precisely because she didn't stay in Shendu City for a long time that Tang Xiaohao hired her to act in a show so that she would not be easily discovered.
Tang Xiaohao smiled deliberately and said: "Nothing, she is so pitiful when she is pregnant, so I tried to find a good family for her to marry."
Tang Weige scolded: "Not as good as a beast."
Although Tang Weige was scolding, he felt in his heart that as long as Tang Xiaohao continued like this, he would definitely be a loser. When the time comes, he would be beaten to death by the angry people without them taking action.
Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and said, "What are you talking about? The husband I found for that girl is very good. The man is already in his forties and has no children. Isn't it a good idea to let him save his energy and become a father?"
Tang Weige turned around and left. After taking two steps, he stopped and turned around and said, "Don't cause trouble recently. You also know that your second sister is about to marry into the Ji family."
Tang Xiaohao smiled and said: "I know, sister, don't worry, I will keep to myself and be a lovely child recently."
Tang Weige shook his head and left, but Tang Xiaohao let out a long sigh. And from the fact that Tang Weige directly said the word "Ji family" before, it can be seen that the Nanrong family really does not take the royal family seriously.
——
Tang Xiaohao personally carried the tray with the noodle bowl back to the room. After placing the tray on the table, he looked back at the courtyard. Except for the fat cat Jelly Bean chasing the butterfly, he found no other living things.
Tang Xiaohao closed the door and lowered the latch. When he was about to call Wu Tianlu on the bed, he found that Wu Tianlu was already sitting cross-legged on the bed and meditating with his eyes closed. His overall condition was much better than before.
Tang Xiaohao stepped forward and looked at Wu Tianlu who was meditating. Knowing that he was meditating, he whispered: "It's time to eat noodles."
At this time, Wu Tianlu was concentrating his magic power on his chest and abdomen. It was a way of healing. In fact, it was just treating the symptoms, not the root cause, and temporarily relieving the pain. Because the two feet kicked by the man in black yesterday,
It would be fine if it was just ordinary kung fu, but it was obvious that the man in black concentrated his magic power on his feet when he made the move, otherwise Wu Tianlu would not have been injured so seriously.
When Tang Xiaohao saw that Wu Tianlu didn't respond, he raised a finger and poked it. When he found that his skin had become as hard as a stone, he subconsciously said: "Isn't it? He can do such profound kung fu as a bronze head and an iron arm. What on earth is this guy like?"
people?"
Tang Xiaohao thought for a while, opened the door and called Tangdou over, then carried Tangdou to Wu Tianlu and said to Tangdou: "Tick him."
Tangdou glanced at Tang Xiaohao, raised his paw and scratched Wu Tianlu gently, but did not leave any scratches on his skin.
Tang Xiaohao said: "The concentration is good."
Later, Tang Xiaohao picked up the jelly beans and pointed them at Wu Tianlu: "Feed him with your cat urine!"
Tangdou was stunned. He tried his best to turn his head to look at Tang Xiaohao. He clearly wanted to say: Brother, I can’t pee now!
Tang Xiaohao didn't care about that, because he knew that cat urine, especially the urine of adult male cats, was extremely lethal. He once threw a thief into a box covered with cat urine, and the thief foamed at the mouth and fainted within half an hour.
Death has passed.
At this moment, someone pushed the door open, and Tang Chen's voice came from outside: "Open the door! You haven't gotten up yet? It's already three o'clock in the morning!"
Tang Xiaohao panicked and quickly threw the jelly beans on Wu Tianlu, and then whispered: "Look at him and don't come out! If you dare to come out, you will eat cat soup at night!"
Tangdou's eyes widened with fear, and he curled up on Wu Tianlu's body.
After that, Tang Xiaohao lowered the curtain on the bed, quickly took out the girl's bellyband that was always ready from the box next to it, and threw it on the floor. He also threw a pair of embroidered shoes and placed a bottle on the table with the words "A good man who is upright and upright."
bottle, then messed up his clothes, and then stepped forward to open the door.
As soon as he opened the door, Tang Xiaohao saw Tang Chen's serious face: "Dad, why are you here?"
Tang Chen entered the room directly. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the bellyband and embroidered shoes beside the bed, and his eyes naturally fell on the closed tent.
Tang Xiaohao pretended to be embarrassed at the side: "Well, let me do it, you know."
Tang Chen turned around and stared at the disheveled Tang Xiaohao: "You are so courageous. You actually brought the girl home. Did you go out again last night?"
Tang Xiaohao said: "Yes, I was just about to go to bed last night when I heard the sound of hawking coming from outside."
Tang Chen said coldly: "Selling? People selling themselves?"
"Dad, how can you be so vulgar?" Tang Xiaohao looked serious, "You are a medicine seller."
After that, Tang Xiaohao picked up the bottle on the table: "What we are selling is this 'good man who stands upright and upright'."
Tang Chen took the bottle and smelled the mouth of the bottle: "What kind of medicine is this?"
Tang Xiaohao thought for a while and said: "Strictly speaking, it promotes blood circulation, removes blood stasis and reduces swelling. You also know that when a certain part of the body becomes swollen, it will become extremely uncomfortable."
Tang Chen looked at Tang Xiaohao coldly.
Tang Xiaohao continued: "I heard the miserable cry, so I climbed over the wall and went out to check. Unexpectedly, as soon as I landed, I saw a poor girl with no clothes on. I originally wanted to give her some money, but
The girl wanted to support herself and told me that if I wanted to help her, I would buy her medicine and told me the miraculous effects of this medicine. Dad, how could a smart person like me believe it so easily? So, she
Decided to demonstrate personally, that’s what the whole thing is, very reasonable, right?”
Tang Chen snorted coldly: "Isn't this medicine aggravating swelling? You are only eighteen years old, and you are taking this kind of thing? Your father and I are forty-eight this year, and I stand upright from morning to night every day!"
Tang Xiaohao immediately said: "Really? How did you do it? I always thought that you had lost your basic dignity as a man at such an old age. I originally wanted to give this bottle of medicine to you, dad."
Just as Tang Chen raised his hand to hit, a cat meowed from the bed.
This meow immediately attracted Tang Chen's attention, and made Tang Xiaohao break into a cold sweat when he originally raised his arm to block it.
Tang Xiaohao immediately stood in front of Tang Chen: "She is singing."
"Singing?" Tang Chen frowned, "Why?"
Tang Xiaohao could only continue to talk nonsense: "Recently, a very famous song has been circulated in the imperial capital called "Learning to Meow". She really likes it. She sings it whenever she has nothing to do. She also sings when applauding for love. It's unreasonable, right? If it's unreasonable, then that's right.
Yes, you also know that I have always liked this kind of strange woman who is unreasonable and full of mystery!"
Tang Chen looked at Tang Xiaohao with suspicious eyes. Tang Xiaohao could only grin and sweat like raindrops.
At the same time, Wu Tianlu on the bed was huddled at the foot of the bed, staring at the jelly beans sitting there not far away with his head tilted and looking at him. Because Wu Tianlu was very afraid of cats, so when he woke up just now, he found that there was a cat on him
He almost died on the spot.
Tang Chen no longer struggled with who was on the bed, but said to Tang Xiaohao: "Come out with me."
Tang Xiaohao hurried out, closed the door, and followed Tang Chen to the garden.
After Tang Chen stood still, he turned and looked at Tang Xiaohao: "Yesterday, at the west gate, did you ask a sentry from the Shendu Army to let in a few beggars, and for this, you gave them two silver dragons?"
Tang Xiaohao was shocked, knowing that something must have happened, otherwise his father would not ask such a question.
Therefore, Tang Xiaohao said directly: "What happened to those beggars?"
Tang Chen told him what happened this morning. After hearing this, Tang Xiaohao's face darkened and he felt very uncomfortable, because he knew that if he hadn't done something unnecessary yesterday, the sentry would not have died.
Tang Chen saw Tang Xiaohao's face full of sadness and couldn't bear to scold him anymore: "Don't meddle in other people's business from now on. If the sentry hadn't run over to death today, I'm afraid we both would have been framed by Mu Yinghao for unwarranted charges."
Tang Xiaohao raised his head and said: "Dad, yesterday I was outside the city and saw the two Nanrong family members chasing a young man riding a white horse with two swords on his back. Later I heard from the sentry that the young man was still holding the waist of the armored guard.
Moreover, I thought that person looked very familiar. Later, when I saw the group of beggars running past, I wondered if there was some connection between them. It was probably for this reason that I asked the sentry to let him go.
Beggars come to town."
When Tang Chen heard this, he raised his hand and slapped Tang Xiaohao on the face. Tang Xiaohao was stunned, but he also knew that he deserved this slap.
Tang Chen pointed at Tang Xiaohao and said, "You knew something was going on, but you didn't stop it. Instead, you let those beggars enter the city. You are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos! What are you thinking in your mind?"
Tang Xiaohao lowered his head and said: "Dad, it's my fault. I didn't think so carefully at the time. I just felt that those beggars were very pitiful. If they didn't go into the city and slept outside the city, it would be dangerous. You also know that there was a man outside the city recently.
A murderous lunatic."
Tang Chen was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly, and almost raised his fists to punch him, but he still held back. Because this disaster was caused by Tang Xiaohao's kindness, and also because of his kindness. If it weren't for him being such a good person, the sentry guard would
They had sold their father and son long ago.
Tang Chen said: "From today on, you cannot step out of the mansion and reflect in your own courtyard."
Tang Xiaohao could only lower his head and said: "Yes."
Looking at Tang Chen's retreating figure, Tang Xiaohao felt very sad, but he immediately thought of Wu Tianlu, the leader of the beggars. He was curious, what did these beggars do? What were they tracking after the Nanrong family?
Two people, or the young man with the Iron Guard waist card?
Tang Xiaohao thought for a while and returned to the room. Seeing that the curtain was still closed, he gently opened another cabinet, took out a bottle from it, poured two drops of the medicine inside into the noodle bowl, and then brought it to the bedside.
: "Eat the noodles quickly, they are all lumpy."
When the tent was opened, Tang Xiaohao found a man and a cat huddled at the head and end of the bed respectively, wary of each other - Wu Tianlu with a fierce look squatted at the end of the bed in an attacking posture, while the innocent-looking jelly beans held up two fronts.
The claws stood on the bedside with trembling hands.
Tang Xiaohao looked at Wu Tianlu and Tangdou respectively, and then asked Wu Tianlu: "What do you want to do to Tangdou?"
Wu Tianlu, who was scared to death, said: "You should ask that cat what it wants to do to me!"
Tangdou jumped out of bed, holding Tang Xiaohao's ankle and shivering.
Seeing Tangdou get out of bed, Wu Tianlu breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Xiaohao handed the noodle bowl to Wu Tianlu: "Eat noodles."
Wu Tianlu was really hungry, so he picked up the noodles and ate them.
Tang Xiaohao hugged the jelly bean with a look of grievance on his face, looked at Wu Tianlu who was devouring it, and secretly counted the time until the poison would take effect. This chapter has been completed!
