"Big Brother, Second Brother, I'm back." Accompanied by a clear and pleasant voice, Xiong Hu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, carried a vegetable basket, and ran into the courtyard gate hand in hand with the maid Xiu'er.Just entering the hospital without seeing the situation clearly, Xiong Hu asked again: "Big Brother, Second Brother, did the landlord come to press for the rent again today? I... Ah!"

"Bang!" When he said this, the vegetable basket in Xiong Hu's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the yellow cabbage leaves and radishes in the vegetable basket were scattered all over the ground.The same was true for Xiu'er who was following behind, not only threw the vegetable basket full of wild vegetables on the ground, but also shrank behind Xiong Hu and screamed, "Miss, they...how did they come here?" - Needless to say, this is of course Lord Xiong Hu Farewell to the servant, Master Zhang's normal reaction after the meeting between the master and the servant.And our young master Zhang and his servants each took a step back, assuming a posture of running away at any time-of course, Zhang Shitou, the accomplice of the wharf incident, was less psychologically stressed, and took a few moments to look at the show hiding behind Xiong Hu. Son.

"Little sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiong Zhaogui, a tall scholar, asked Xiong Hu in surprise.Xiong Hu first clenched her fist and then quickly released it, pointing at Young Master Zhang with a blushing face and asking, "Brother, why is this person in our house?"

"What? Little sister, do you know Mr. Zhang?" Xiong Zhaogui asked in surprise.Xiong Zhaolian was also taken aback, then turned to Young Master Zhang and asked, "Master Zhang, do you know my little sister?"

"I don't know!" Young Master Zhang and Xiong Hu replied in unison: "I don't know him (her), I've never met him!"

"Hey, why does this ghost girl not know me?" Xiong Hu's answer made Young Master Zhang Erjingang puzzled, and he stood on the spot. With Xiong Hu's violent temper, he should rush forward and beat Young Master Zhang violently before whipping him. Three hundred corpses is right, but Xiong Hu categorically denies that he has ever seen our Young Master Zhang, which really makes Master Zhang useless.Zhang Shitou and Xiu'er, both insiders, also had the same thoughts. Zhang Shitou was better, but Xiu'er couldn't help it. When she poked her head out from behind Xiong Hu to speak, Xiong Hu used a fierce Eyes stopped.

The reactions of the two pairs of masters and servants were so strange that Xiong Zhaogui and his brothers could see that something was wrong even if they were blind. Xiong Zhaogui said angrily: "Little sister, can you even lie? If you don't know Mr. Zhang, then you see Why is he screaming?"

Xiong Hu's pink face turned even redder, she lowered her head and didn't know how to answer.Seeing Xiong Hu like this, Young Master Zhang suddenly came to his senses, this tigress must have not told his family what happened on the Linqing Wharf!But this is not surprising, no matter which girl with yellow flowers was almost seduced by someone, she would be embarrassed to tell about it—not to mention that Xiong Hu took away the 50 taels of silver offering from Young Master Zhang afterward. If the grumpy Xiong Zhaogui knew about it, even if Xiong Hu had a hundred mouths, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly.

"Haha, it turns out that this tigress was too shy to tell the story, and today she can take revenge." Young Master Zhang smirked a few times in his heart, cleared his throat with a cough and attracted Brother Xiong Zhaogui's attention, and then our Young Master Zhang put on a pose With an extremely serious appearance, he cupped his hands to Xiong Hu and said: "Miss, please forgive Xiaosheng for being rude and talking too much. The sages have said that women have four virtues. The second virtue is to be dignified, prudent, and polite. Don't be frivolous. Although Xiaosheng is born She looks better than Pan An, looks better than Song Yu, and is suave, but this is the first time I have met you, Miss, you are so shocked and disrespectful, isn't it too much?"

"You...!" Xiong Hu almost fainted out of breath, he couldn't believe that there would be such a shameless person as Young Master Zhang in the world.But because of our Young Master Zhang's little face is not bad, Brother Xiong Zhaogui believed it to be true. The two brothers stretched their faces together, and Xiong Zhaogui yelled at Xiong Hu: "It's outrageous, pack up your things quickly, and come with your sister-in-law!" Go cook in the kitchen!" Xiong Zhaolian drank a long time, "Also, after cooking, go back to your room and recite "Biography of Women" and "Book of Daughters" three times!"

"Yes." Xiong Hu had no choice but to agree in a low voice, and squatted down to pick up the vegetables. It was only at this moment that our Young Master Zhang dared to relax and take a peek at Xiong Hu's beauty.After a few days, Xiong Hu seemed to have lost some weight, and her figure became more graceful. She took off her filial piety and changed into a blue coarse cloth dress, which set off her skin more than snow. Our young master Zhang swallowed, salivating.Unexpectedly, Xiong Hu happened to sneak a peek at Young Master Zhang, his eyes intersected, Xiong Hu's face blushed first, and then his eyes were full of murderous intent, while our Young Master Zhang was fearless, still smiling wickedly.

Picking up the vegetables scattered all over the ground, Xiong Hu lowered his head and followed Xiong Zhaogui's wife to the kitchen to cook. Brother Xiong Zhaogui enthusiastically invited Master Zhang to stay for dinner, and our Young Master Zhang understood that Xiong Hu dared not be After seeing her two older brothers settle accounts with him, she put aside the plan of not wanting to be involved in the Xiong Tingbi case, and happily accepted the invitation of Xiong Zhaogui's brother, and followed the two brothers into the hall to sit down and chat Waiting for dinner.During this period, the Xiong Zhaogui brothers had to inquire about the identity of Young Master Zhang, and Young Master Zhang was not polite, and bragged in front of the two appointed brothers-in-law. First, he boasted that he was born in a scholarly family, and that the eighteen generations of his ancestors were all great scholars in the world , the family has a lot of fertile land, and usually builds bridges and paves roads, helps the weak and the poor, and does good deeds to accumulate virtue. I have been influenced by such a family, so I rescued Xiong Zhaolian twice in the capital.And brothers Xiong Zhaogui and Xiong Zhaolian didn't know the details of our young master Zhang at all, but they really got help from young master Zhang twice, so they believed it without a doubt.Only Zhang Shitou murmured in his heart, "The young master must be talking about someone else, right? You are in Linqing City, and you are the role of a street mouse that everyone shouts and beats."

"It turns out that Mr. Zhang is a famous scholar in Linqing. No wonder he is so literary and elegant. Brother Yu admires, admires." Xiong Zhaolian, who was stunned by Young Master Zhang's bragging, was full of emotion, and Xiong Zhaogui asked: "The young master is far away this time. Parents from my hometown, why did you come to the capital?"

"Of course it's for the examination." Young Master Zhang replied without blushing.Xiong Zhaolian nodded and said with a smile: "I know you as a gentleman, I believe that he will be on the list in this subject, and he will be a Jinshi."

"Damn! Even if he also passed the Jinshi exam, the sun has to come out from the west!" Xiong Hu's angry voice came from the side door, the side door was pushed open, Xiong Hu and Xiu'er put on a serious face, holding a bowl The food with chopsticks came into the room.Xiong Zhaogui and Xiong Zhaolian brothers were furious together, and shouted in unison: "Little sister, have you eaten fire medicine today? How can you be so rude to Mr. Zhang?"

"Brother Zhaogui, Brother Zhaolian, don't get angry." Young Master Zhang was not angry, and said with a smile: "From Xiaosheng's point of view, what Miss Xiong said is not bad. In my eyes. This time I will try, Xiaosheng's goal is only to be in the top three! If you are not ranked outside the top three, Xiaosheng would rather not have this fame!"

"Only take the top three? The toad yawned so loudly!" This time, even Brother Xiong Zhaogui couldn't stand it anymore.Xiong Hu sneered again and again, continued to throw the food in front of Young Master Zhang with a straight face, turned around and rushed back to the kitchen, making her two elder brothers embarrassed and confused, they could only pretend not to see, and raised their chopsticks Invite young master Zhang to have a meal together, "Master Zhang, please don't be disgusted with the simple food."

What the Xiong family brothers said was true. Xiong Hu’s family was so destitute that they couldn’t even pay the rent. Naturally, the food was not so good. The rice was brown rice mixed with rice bran, and the food was a radish soup and a plate of fried cabbage and A plate of stir-fried tofu—just here, Young Master Zhang maliciously suspects that the ingredients used to stir-fry cabbage are leaves from the vegetable market.But fortunately, Xiong Hu's cooking skills are not bad, and Mr. Zhang is tired of eating big fish and meat every day. He likes to change these light flavors occasionally. Brown rice is pulled down.Seeing this scene, Xiong Zhaolian, who was rescued twice by Eldest Master Zhang, was very happy, and hurriedly shouted: "Little sister, quickly serve Mr. Zhang a meal."

"Here we come." Contrary to Young Master Zhang's expectations, Xiong Hu didn't put on a straight face this time, but agreed briskly, carrying a bowl of rice into the front hall with a sweet smile, and replaced the empty bowl in Young Master Zhang's hand , smiled softly: "Mr. Zhang, please use it slowly."

"Okay, okay." It was rare to see Xiong Hu's gentle smiling face, and our Young Master Zhang inevitably felt a little dizzy.But when he just raised the rice bowl to his lips, Young Master Zhang felt a move in his heart, "No, why is this tigress being so gentle to me?" Thinking of this, Young Master Zhang put down the bowl and chopsticks, and handed over the bowl of brown rice brought by Xiong Hu In front of Zhang Shitou, who was standing by the side to serve according to the rules, he smiled and said, "Shitou, you have been tired all day, are you hungry too? Sit down and have a meal together. You should eat this bowl of rice first."

"Thank you, young master." After tossing and tossing for a long time, Zhang Shitou was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he took the meal without thinking much and sat next to Young Master Zhang.Young Master Zhang explained to the Xiong family brothers: "Don't blame the two brothers, this servant is my playmate since I was a child, and I have always treated him as a brother, so I also eat at the same table."

"It's okay, it's okay." Brother Xiong Zhaogui nodded and smiled, admiring our Young Master Zhang's lenient treatment of his servants.But before they finished talking, Zhang Shishi, who had just taken a mouthful of rice, put down his bowl and covered his mouth, and rushed out, yelling vaguely, "Oh my god, what kind of rice is this? Why is it so bitter? "

"What's wrong?" The Xiong brothers were taken aback.Xiong Hu screamed again, "Oops, didn't the limestone fall off the wall just now and accidentally fell into the bowl?"

The Xiong family brothers were furious when they heard this, and shouted together: "Then why don't you hurry up and change a bowl for Mr. Zhang's servant."

"It doesn't matter." Young Master Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Every piece of Chinese food on the plate is hard work. A little lime is nothing, so there is no need to change it. When Zhang Shitou comes back, I will tell him to eat the whole bowl of rice."
