Houmen Dixiu

Chapter 56 The Enemy (3)
Du Yanyu likes it very much, but he is just afraid that some children will have accidents, so when he comes here to play, Uncle Gui will send a few maids and servants who understand water skills to follow, just in case any accidents happen.

"Your father is meticulous, no wonder he manages this place!"

Xiao Huaisu praised Qiu Ling a few words, but the latter didn't reject anything, but nodded in agreement, "We brothers and sisters only need to learn half of my father's skills. The slave's father used to be in charge of accounts in various places. If it wasn't for his poor health, the old man transferred him here sympathetically, and it also meant to let him take care of himself."

For this, the whole family is grateful. Qiuling's father was not easy at all, and his mother died early. He raised the three brothers and sisters Laba all by himself, and they have not continued until now. The hardships involved can be imagined .

"So it is."

Xiao Huaisu frowned slowly, when he first met, he felt that this noble uncle was careful and steady in his work, but he did not expect that he was still such a capable person, which made people admire him from the bottom of his heart.

"Cousin come here!"

While Xiao Huaisu was in a trance, Du Yanyu had already waved to her by the pool, "I caught two small fish, come and see them!"

"it is good!"

Xiao Huaisu responded, and walked over with Qiu Ling smiling.

At this time, Du Yanyun was sitting on a stone pier not far away, Feng Xi gently fanned her, holding a notebook in her hand, occasionally glanced at the scene at Du Yanyu's place not far away, the corners of her lips slightly curled up, smiling quiet.

Xiao Huaisu walked up to Du Yanyu in a few steps, smiled and looked over, and saw two small red fishes packed in the thin white porcelain pot that Qing Mei brought with her, only the size of an adult's little finger, with two small fishes on the top of her head. It has a slightly bulging little bag with a translucent tail, and its movements are particularly agile. The appearance of jumping around in the water to find a way is really cute.

Du Yanyu clapped his hands aside, with joy on his face, "I caught it with great difficulty, I have never seen this kind of fish before, I will raise them when I go back today, and see what they look like when they grow up! "

"Raise it..."

Xiao Huaisu thought for a while, and then said: "If the third cousin really wants to raise them, I'm afraid I have to take the water here to raise them, and the well water may not be able to support them!"

"Oh, is it?"

Du Yanyu obviously didn't think of this, she still wanted to bring the two fish back to Bianjing, but how could she go back and forth to get the water here to replace it?If you reserve a few tanks and take it away, it won't last long in summer!

Thinking of this, she felt a little worried, the joyful mood just now dissipated a bit, and she was faintly disappointed.

"Third Miss, don't worry," said a round-faced girl beside her. She was sent by Uncle Gui, her name is Xiaoling, and she heard that she is very good at water. "Miss Biao is right, the fish here You can use the water here to raise them, but you have to stay here to feed them, so even if the third lady brings the fish back and use the water here, the fish will die within a few days!"

"Ah, is that really the case?"

Du Yanyu covered her lips in surprise, she just likes these little fishes, but she never thought of killing them, if so, she might as well let them go!
Xiaoling nodded earnestly, "I have tried it too, I dare not lie to the third lady!"

With Xiaoling's affirmation, compared to the disappointment and regret just now, Du Yanyu felt a sense of relief, and she couldn't take them away anyway. A bit reluctant.

Xiao Huaisu smiled, came forward to hold the clay pots with Du Yanyu, blinked and said: "Second Cousin, let's put them away!"

"It can only be like this!"

Du Yanyu sighed and nodded to Xiao Huaisu.

Just when the two of them approached the edge of the pool and carefully bent down to pour out the small fish in the pot, something happened suddenly!

That is, in an instant, there was only a sound of "咻", and something flew on the clay pot, and with a crisp "click", the pot broke, and the water in the pot Immediately splashed.

Xiao Huaisu and Du Yanyu couldn't avoid it, even if they reacted and took a step back, most of their dresses were wet, let alone being frightened by this accident, Du Yanyu couldn't stop screaming.

The two small fishes were not injured, they slipped into the pool along the slippery moss, and immediately swam into the depths of the pool alive and well, disappearing without a trace.

Xiao Huaisu was also startled naturally, and then his gaze sank slightly, and he glanced around, focusing on the laughing young boy leaning on the tree branch not far away.

The reason why he is called a young boy is also because of the childish look on his face. Although his figure looks a bit tall, he looks about ten years old, wrapped in a gray-blue brocade robe, his eyebrows are flying, and there is a smile in his eyes. Unstoppable arrogance, one can tell that his status is extraordinary.

Seeing this scene, Du Yanyun hurried over, pulled Du Yanyu over and looked at her again, making sure she was not injured, but she felt relieved after being frightened, and then looked at Xiao Huaisu, "Cousin, is there any injury?"

Xiao Huaisu's mood was very stable, and he didn't cry in fright like Du Yanyu, so Du Yanyun's first attention was naturally the latter.

"I'm fine, second cousin."

Xiao Huaisu pursed his lips tightly, but his eyes turned to the little boy unkindly.

Du Yanyun persuaded Du Yanyu, and turned his head around, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "Young master, why do you want to disturb us, you are so rude, dare to report your name ?”

"Ha ha!"

The young boy jumped down from the tree, and his movements were considered agile. When he landed firmly, he shook the iron slingshot in his hand and smiled, "Why don't you dare to sign up, An Lu?" Shi Ruiqi from Hou Fu is me!" After speaking, she raised her jaw with a provocative look on her face.

Shi Ruiqi from the Marquis of Anlu?
The sisters were all taken aback, and then came back to their senses, isn't this Shi Ruiqi the son of Marquis Anlu, the little overlord in Bianjing?

Xiaoling also stepped forward to remind at this moment, "Second Miss, our Zhuangzi is not far away from Zhuangzi, the former dowry of Concubine Shi. It's just that the concubine has lived in the palace for a long time and doesn't come here often, but the Shi family occasionally come here to have a baby. Stay." This actually explained why Shi Ruiqi appeared here.

The last time when Shi Ruiqi was in the plum grove in the small back mountain of the Daxiangguo Temple, Shi Ruiqi wanted to force his way up. If Gu Qingyang hadn't stopped him, he might have bumped into Xiao Huaisu and the others.

Looking at today's incident again, this kid must have recognized them as the Du family, so he played maliciously, otherwise why would he have such a grudge for no reason?
But today, Gu Qingyang never came out to stop her.
