Chapter 14 The fourteenth chapter counts into the waiting door to lead the fox out of the hole, cleverly clothing the maze, connecting trees and moving flowers

Mrs. Yu has sent Wang's servant to spread the word that Cai Jiu and Cai Yaomei will come to the mansion tomorrow to perform their skills.Cai Yaomei was very happy to see that her plan to enter the government had succeeded, but her father Cai Jiu was still full of doubts and unpredictable consequences.Cai Yaomei complained that her father shouldn't have spoiled everyone's fun by looking forward and backward, but her father said a few words to make it boring.It's no wonder that Cai Jiu is worried, because he has been a police officer for many years and has dealt with many people of all kinds in the social arena. He has accumulated a lot of experience and lessons in the various complicated battles he experienced, and he has honed his skills. You must use your mind more when you think about things, and have more eyes when you see things.What happened in the performance arena today, and the crippled old man's hidden conversation made him faintly feel that the plan he discussed with Liu Taibao to enter the house and perform skills had been seen through by the lame old man, and the servant Wang The inside story that Liu Taibao inadvertently told made Cai Jiuru more confused, unable to see the true face of the crippled old man Shen.Therefore, Madam Yu sent someone to tell him to enter the mansion to perform skills. Is it Zhang's snare, or a trap, or is it purely for entertainment and has no intentions?At this moment when he was on the verge of failure, how could he not be worried.

It's no wonder that Cai Yaomei, although she traveled thousands of miles with her father, she is a pure-hearted woman, her good eyes are rooted in her conscience, and she always starts from kindness in dealing with people. She often regards witchcraft as bodhisattvas, The wine should be sweet.Hearing his wife's biography, he thought he had borrowed the east wind, and all he thought about was how to wear it tomorrow, how to perform skills, and try his best to impress his wife and young lady, and to attract the applause and attention of the whole family, so that Dad would cry Handle his case out of mind.

In the evening, Liu Taibao prepared several dishes and a pot of white wine, and sent them to Cai Jiu's room. He said that this was not a congratulatory gesture, but a show of strength.Cai Jiunan was very kind, and actually drank a few cups. It is often said that "wine should be poured from a wide place", Cai Jiu's heart is not wide tonight, even though he only drank a few cups, he is already a little bit drunk.Liu Taibao also knew what was on Master Cai's mind, so he only said to drink away his worries, and tried to persuade him again and again.Cai Yaomei just watched with a smile on the sidelines, she neither persuaded Brother Liu to drink, nor came to push a drink for her father, the old and the young, the host and the guest, had already become very different in her heart, so she just watched with eager eyes. Don't talk too much.It wasn't until she saw that her father lost his chopsticks several times with the vegetables, and knew that he really couldn't drink any more, and Liu Taibao held up the jug to persuade him to drink again, did she reach out to block the jug, and said, "Brother Liu, I think Daddy is really good." I can't drink anymore." Unexpectedly, when she stretched out her hand to cover the pot, in a hurry, she grabbed Liu Taibao's wrist with one hand, and grabbed the back of his hand with the other.Liu Baotai retracted the pot embarrassingly, and buried his head to look at her soft hands.Only then did Cai Yaomei wake up, she hurriedly opened and retracted her hands, her face flushed so red that her cheeks almost ooze blood.At this time, Liu Taibao only felt short of breath, while Cai Yaomei felt like a deer jumped into her heart.

After the meal, Mr. Cai was a little out of pocket, so they each put on their clothes and lay down on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.Cai Yaomei sat at the table affectionately, although the blush on her face had faded, there was still lingering shame in her eyes.Liu Taibao wanted to leave, but hesitated for a while, and then took out a toothbone pressing hair comb and two bright red satin flowers from his arms, put them in front of Cai Yaomei, and said: "Yaomei will enter the palace to perform skills tomorrow. I went to the street and bought these two things as a present for you, and if you put them on your head, it’s like adding two green leaves.”

Cai Yaomei glanced at him, neither thanking nor refusing. Only then did Liu Taibao leave the room contentedly. The next day, Cai Jiu got up very early. He carefully checked all the outfits he had changed, and then sat alone in the courtyard, thinking about the various situations that he might encounter when he enters the mansion today.Cai Yaomei was dressing up in the room with great interest. She wears a new-colored short-sleeved jacket with bamboo cloth trim, a pair of pink silk trousers with tie-in feet, a pair of sky-blue embroidered soft-soled cloth shoes, a yellow wide-brimmed ribbon around her waist, and a lock of eyebrows on her forehead. Liu Hai, a long black braid at the back of the head, and a small comb with the pearl teeth on the sideburns, with two bright red satin flowers inserted in the comb.Cai Yaomei was originally born beautiful and charming, and with this elegant dress, she looked more natural and generous, giving people a pleasing feeling.

After everything was tidied up, the father and daughter ate the breakfast Liu Taibao brought, and then walked towards Yufu with their outfits.Liu Taibao only sent it outside the inn, and returned to the inn after giving some instructions. Cai Jiu's father and daughter came to the gate of Yufu, and the doorman placed them in the side room to wait, and at the same time reported the news that their father and daughter had arrived at the gate of the mansion.After a while, I heard the words from my wife.Everyone in the inner and outer houses of the mansion, the upper house and the lower house, tents and courtyards, stables and kitchens, etc., can go to the garden to watch the rope skills in front of the Yangxin Pavilion.Then the servant brought two bowls of soup and two crispy cakes, which he said was a gift from his wife, and asked his father and daughter to use them to boost their spirits.Cai Yaomei had never seen this kind of pomp and pomp before, she just felt the honor of the Hou family, and she was already three points timid in her heart.

Cai Jiu only drank the soup, wrapped the shortbread and carried it in his bosom.Immediately, someone came to lead the two of them inside.After entering the double mansion gate, a wide road to the left, passing the meeting hall, a huge garden appeared in front of it.The ancient cypresses in the garden are scattered, and there is a high wall on the right; a pavilion stands high in the center of the garden. In front of the pavilion are several levels of Hanyu stone steps. Great grassy area.As Cai Jiu walked, he looked around nonchalantly, but what he paid attention to was not the scenery of the pavilions and gardens in the mansion, but the topographical roads leading to various places.Cai Yaomei also walked all the way and looked around, but all she could see was the garden full of strange flowers and rocks and endless jade railings.

The father and daughter came to stand in front of the pavilion, and saw many men, women and children already standing around the lawn, and they were all deacons and miscellaneous servants in the mansion from their clothes.As soon as Cai Jiu arrived in front of the pavilion, the string in his heart was already tense. He kept his head down, not daring to look up.The servant who waited until he brought his father and daughter in said, "I haven't seen my wife, grandma and young lady yet!" At this time, Cai Jiucai turned his head suddenly, and looked into the pavilion intently, and saw an old woman with a solemn expression but a slight smile sitting in the middle, and she could be seen as Madam Yu at a glance.Sitting next to her was a young woman with gorgeous clothes and graceful manners. Cai Jiu had already recognized her as Young Mistress Yu.Sitting on the left side of Mrs. Yu is a girl with a clear and bright expression and exquisite beauty.As soon as Cai Jiu's eyes turned to this girl, he was startled. He felt an elusive light from the girl's star-like eyes: it seemed to be a greeting, but also an inquiry, with surprise and suspicion.Also angry and happy.Cai Jiu was forced by the light to quickly avoid her eyes.He knew that this girl must be Miss Yu.Finally, he concentrated his attention on the middle-aged woman standing next to Miss Yu. When he saw a figure and face that had become fat all over her body and her legs were drooping, Cai Jiu was shocked. As if swallowing a piece of ice, my heart suddenly became cold.He couldn't help crying secretly, and only one sentence sounded in his heart: "It's wrong, it's over, this is not the blue-eyed fox!"

Although Cai Jiu was seasoned and sophisticated, he couldn't restrain the sudden disappointment at this time, and a dejected expression was immediately revealed.Young Mistress Lianyu also noticed this change, and after he knelt forward to say hello, she pleaded with Madam Yu in a pity tone: "Mother, I see that he is exhausted, let him rest. " Madam Yu nodded and said, "You can sit down and rest." Cai Yaomei followed her father and looked at everyone in the pavilion one by one with envy.When her eyes slipped to Miss Yu, she was also stunned by Miss Yu's strange eyes.It's just that what she saw from Miss Yu's eyes seemed to be greeting her with deja vu, and seemed to be blaming her for not coming here.Cai Yaomei felt at a loss in her heart, a thousand faces flashed before her eyes, but she had never seen such handsome faces.For a moment, she almost bowed her head in shame under Miss Yu's astonishing expression.She hurriedly turned her eyes to the woman next to Miss Yu, and saw that she was not thin, her eye sockets were not sunken, and there was no cinnabar mole between her brows. She immediately understood that her father had made a mistake, although she also felt a sense of loss in her heart, But she was used to submissiveness since she was a child, so she didn't get overly depressed because of it, she still cheered up and advanced and retreated according to the rules.

Besides, Yu Jiaolong in the pavilion also had a complicated mood at this moment: when Cai Jiu and Cai Yaomei came to the scene, she recognized at a glance that they were the father and daughter she saw in Damei's village two people.At the same time, she didn't notice and secretly praised Gao Shiniang, thinking that she really deserves to be called a blue-eyed fox, she is always thinking hard, and she is indeed exceptionally alert.It turned out that just yesterday morning, when there was a sound of gongs outside the wall, followed by loud applause, Mrs. Gao immediately became restless and kept walking up and down in the hall.Yu Jiaolong saw that her expression was different, and asked her why, she said: This garden wall is a deserted alley, how can there be people to perform skills, and how can there be so many people here? !Later, when someone reported that it was an old man and a girl who were playing tricks there, Mrs. Gao became even more suspicious, and her expression became even more flustered.When Xianggu rushed over happily to report that Madam had sent a message to ask the father and daughter who stepped on the rope outside the wall to enter the mansion tomorrow to perform skills, at this moment, Gao Shiniang's face suddenly turned pale, and she went back to her room in a daze.In the middle of the night, she quietly came to Yu Jiaolong's room, and said to Yu Jiaolong with a nervous look: "Miss, the old man who will bring the girl into the mansion to perform skills tomorrow, I think it's probably when you were in Xijiang." The old man I met before."

Yu Jiaolong said inadvertently: "He clearly said that he went to Xijiang to find his sister who had already gone to Xijiang, but why did he find the capital again?!" Gao Shiniang glanced at Yu Jiaolong, immediately revealed a look of resentment, and said darkly: "This is so strange! There are many people who have done something important in the western border and then come back to the interior." Yu Jiaolong's eyes flashed with anger, he glared at her and asked, "Let me ask you, is your surname Yi or Geng?" Gao Shiniang suddenly took a few steps back, dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.Her face turned pale, and her whole body was shaking slightly.The room was so quiet that even Mrs. Gao's heartbeat could be heard clearly.After a long time, she said in a voice that was almost mournful: "Miss, you just hold your hand high. No matter what my surname is, that old man and I are dead enemies. He came here just to find me." Yu Jiaolong's expression gradually calmed down, and he asked calmly, "What do you want from me?" Mrs. Gao hurriedly begged again: "Your Teacher Gao sent me to your house to avoid him. As long as I can avoid him this time, I will be safe." Yu Jiaolong said: "You can show up tomorrow." Gao Shiniang said: "This will not make him give up, and he will never stop there." Yu Jiaolong said angrily: "What dare he do? Does he dare to search the mansion?!" Gao Shiniang said: "This man is amazing. How could his father and daughter be able to do the pretentiousness outside the wall today. If he runs away and spreads the word, it will be bad for Lord Yu." Yu Jiaolong heard that what she said made sense, so she hesitated.After hesitating for a moment, he asked her again: "What's your idea?" Mrs. Gao said confidently: "Give him a 'swapping', to charm him." Yu Jiaolong pondered for a while before saying: "Okay, I'll take Zhao Ma there tomorrow. However, this 'stealing beams and changing pillars' is so ugly, it's better to call it 'transfer flowers and plants'." After Gao Shiniang left the room, she stuck her head back to the door and added: "Miss, don't let that old man succeed, this is related to the reputation of Yu Mansion." The word "honor" couldn't help but make Yu Jiaolong beat A chill.She stared at Mrs. Gao's back as she went downstairs, and unconsciously snorted. the next day.Gao Shiniang pretended to have a headache and didn't come to see her, so Yu Jiaolong brought Zhao Ma to accompany her and let Zhao Ma stay close to her. Yu Jiaolong and Gao Shiniang set up this maze like this without anyone noticing. Therefore, when Yu Jiaolong recognized at a glance that Renguo was the father and daughter whom Gao Shiniang was worried about, she not only marveled at Gao Shiniang's cunning, but also harbored hostility and respect towards his father and daughter.The hostility is because the old man is ignorant of current affairs, he dared to ignore the prestige of the commander-in-chief and the admiral, and chased him from Xijiang to the capital, and even chased him to the mansion.What I admire is the tenacious will to conquer his father and daughter who have gone through hardships and still pursue them.Especially when she noticed that when the old man saw that Mama Zhao standing next to her was indeed not the Geng Liuniang he was going after, he suddenly became sluggish.I can't help being proud but pitying him at the same time.When the girl came to greet her family, she immediately recalled those scenes in Damei Village, and suddenly, she connected herself with Damei, Xianggu and that girl; they were all familiar with Xijiang, They are all pampered, and although they are in different situations and their family backgrounds are even more disproportionate, they all have their own sufferings.In comparison, Damei, who is still in western Xinjiang, may live a more peaceful life.And the most suffering in front of me is this girl.Thinking of this, Yu Jiaolong felt pity in her heart, and she felt an inexplicable sadness. In reply to the book, Cai Yaomei has also realized that the woman standing next to Miss Yu is not Geng Liuniang. Although she is also disappointed, she is not so depressed. She is not worried about her own failure, but only because of her father's mistake. And sad.She retreated to her father's side, full of affection, and said softly: "Dad, you rest, I will pack my clothes first." After finishing speaking, she hurriedly went to tie the rope. Cai Jiu sat cross-legged on the ground for a while before he forced himself to calm down.He was just about to get up to help his daughter clean up the place when he suddenly saw an old man walking towards him with a limp leg, and he immediately recognized that it was the old man he met outside the wall yesterday.I saw him holding a gourd in his hand, coming to him, and said to him in a flat but slightly reassuring tone: "People have gains and losses, and the sky is cloudy and sunny, so don't mind everything. Please, brother Yi, drink from me." This refreshment drink, keep your spirits up so that you can deal with the situation." After speaking, he handed the gourd to Cai Jiu.Cai Jiu didn't refuse, took the gourd, drank it twice, handed the gourd back to him, and said, "Yi remembers my brother's kindness." The lame old man said again: "I have seen your daughter's rope skills, and it is by no means superficial kung fu. 'As long as the wings are strong, there is no sky', why don't Brother Yi go to the east of the Guandong to find a foothold so as not to travel around." Holding a gourd, he limped into the crowd. Cai Jiu was puzzled again.He had secretly heard what he said, it was nothing more than persuading him to give up the pursuit and go far away to Kanto, so that he wouldn't have to go back to Shaanxi for business.Who is this old man, and why does he know his own details.While thinking, Cai Jiu picked up her outfit and helped her daughter tidy it up. After a while, the venue was ready. At the beginning of the gong, Cai Yaomei thought about her father's state of mind and decided to be her own.Therefore, she pulled herself together, rolled up her sleeves, tightened the ribbon around her waist, and half-squatted and half-kneeled in the pavilion, then turned around and jumped on the rope, bent her body back, and then stretched her head over her knees, Put your palms together, face the heart of things, with a smile on your face, and make a boy to worship Guanyin to Mrs. Yu.Everyone in Guanshang Mansion applauded together.Madam Yu opened her mouth in shock, and nodded her head in praise with joy. She hurriedly ordered Xianggu Chuan to survive, and told the girl on the rope to be careful not to make mistakes.The young mistress Luanying also stood up, raised her voice and said, "This is for fun in the house, it's not as risky as performing skills on the street." Yu Jiaolong was neither surprised nor shocked, but just watched coldly from the side. Cai Yaomei was very moved to see his wife and grandma caring for her so much, and felt that she should do her best to be more considerate.So, she wrapped the long braid around her neck, then flew into the air, and performed several somersaults on the rope. Finally, she tied the rope with her left foot, stilted her right foot backwards, and spread her wings with both hands. The style of the red phoenix rising to the sun aroused a lot of amazement in the incident, and in exchange for a round of applause from around. Of course, Yu Jiaolong saw it more clearly and carefully than that time in Damerin.She saw that the girl was performing ordinary rope skills on the rope, but she could already see the kung fu on her feet.When she advances and retreats, her waist is straight and her legs are bent, she uses fists and swords. What Yu Jiaolong admires is not the thrills, but these. Then, Cai Yaomei made several sideways on the rope before she jumped off the rope, bent her legs to the matter, held her breath, and retreated to the side for a little thought. Young Mistress Luanying personally poured a cup of hot tea and asked Xianggu to bring it to her.When Xianggu handed Fen to her, she suddenly saw a silver circle on her hand.It is a silver style loved by women in Xijiang. She said "please drink tea" in Xinjiang dialect without realizing it. One sentence.Xianggu didn't expect that the girl also answered her with the word "thank you" in Xinjiang dialect.Xianggu was so astonished, she was stunned for a long time, and then said something indiscriminately: "Ah, sister, you are amazing!" and ran back to the pavilion. Cai Jiu was also considerate of his daughter, so in order to let her have a rest, she had no choice but to stand out, put her hands together, and said, "I will also do boxing, to please my wife, grandma, and miss, and to give some favors to the men and brothers in the house." Lively." After Cai Er finished speaking, she raised her arms and used a set of Eight Diagrams Fist.This Eight Diagrams Boxing also belongs to the secret sect of Taoism. It is divided into two poles of yin and yang, combined with eight methods of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Pei, Kan, Li, Liang and Dui.Law and law are interlinked, and roads are connected. Changeable and unpredictable.This boxing method focuses on moving qi when it is slow; it focuses on strength when it is fast.When calling from insiders, slowness is the most valuable; when outsiders go to learn, quickness is the hero. Seeing that most of the people in the mansion are fancy people, Cai Jiu rushed all the way.I saw others turning like the wind, and taking care of them like a boat. Everyone in the pavilion applauded and nodded.Cai Jiu was playing, and suddenly it occurred to him that there was a lame old man in the crowd, so he might as well show him how to fight.Therefore, when he hit Kunyingen Road, his momentum changed, like pushing a mountain and bouldering, moving a bell and lifting a tripod, and his skills immediately slowed down.Some people who had been clapping their hands slowly stopped, suspecting that his strength was weak and feeling sorry for him.But Yu Jiaolong saw the real kung fu from his moves.She thought: No wonder Gao Shiniang is so afraid of him. With his little skills, Gao Shiniang is also difficult to deal with.Shen Bantou understood that this was for him to see, so he remained calm and only took the opportunity to send him a knowing look. Then Cai Yaomei used a set of saber techniques on the rope.Of course, she used some fancy methods, only seeing a lot of thrills, but not much effort.But it still made madam mad and everyone stunned.In the end, she made a vacant flip with a chopping knife and dropped the rope to make her debut. Madam Yu was very happy to see it, and ordered the maid in charge of the house to take out ten taels of silver as a reward. The young mistress Luanying also took out a few taels of scattered silver and added it, and ordered Xianggu to send it to the pavilion. Cai Yaomei held the taels of silver in her hands, and she was aroused by all kinds of thoughts: For more than a year, her father and daughter traveled all over the world, and they have seen so many taels of silver.Although the father and daughter performed their skills not for money, such a generous reward also touched people's hearts. Cai Yaomei was so moved that she almost shed tears. Cai Jiu came to her daughter, took the silver taels from her hand, walked to the lower steps of the pavilion, raised the silver to the amount, and then said with great emotion: "Thank you, madam, grandma. My father and daughter perform martial arts in the world, not to gather money. But if you want to be full, one tael is enough for my father and daughter to pay for a day. Usually, the street performances, two performances, only one tael, and today the mansion donated only one, so there are too many generous gifts, I am afraid my father and daughter will be blessed. Bo is not allowed to enjoy it, and I would like to return it with the extra gift, Mrs. Shangwang, grandma has shown my sincerity, and forgive me for being straightforward!" After speaking, he took out one ingot from the silver ingots, put the rest on the stone steps, and then folded his arms and retreated. down. There was a sigh of relief among the crowd.Madam Yu looked at Luanying, not knowing what to do.When both Yumu and Luanying felt embarrassed, Yujiaolong stood up, stepped down the stone steps, called Cai Yaomei to her face, held her hands full of affection and guilt, and looked at her for a while , then asked her: "What's your last name? How old are you this year?" Cai Yaomei replied in a low voice at a loss: "The real surname is Cai, and he is over seventeen years old." Yu Jiaolong said "ah" and said, "I am the same age as you. We are sisters, and I am younger than you." Cai Yaomei raised her eyes to look at her, eyes full of touching joy. Yu Jiaolong said softly: "You have suffered too! If it wasn't for the sake of making a living, why would you bother to be so dusty?" Cai Yaomei didn't respond, tears were already in her eyes. Yu Jiaolong had already noticed the silver bracelet on her hand, and asked, "But did you buy it in Xijiang?" Cai Yaomei said: "It was given to me by a sister named Damei in Xijiang." Yu Jiaolong's lips moved, but without making a sound, he took the silver bracelet off Cai Yaomei's wrist, played with it for a while, and didn't put it on for her, but took a dazzling bracelet from his own wrist. The gold inlaid jade bracelet inlaid in Cai Yaomei's hand, and then he said to her: "You keep this bracelet of mine with you, and it will be useful when you are in a hurry. Give me your silver bracelet." Make a memory." Cai Yaomei thought of Damei in her heart, and she was very reluctant to part with the bracelet, but she saw that Miss Yu loved it so much, and even gave her such a precious one, so she was embarrassed to say no. After Yu Jiaolong put on the silver bracelet, he took a bead flower from her head and inserted it on her head with her own hands, saying: "These bead flowers are originally a pair, they belonged to the palace. One branch was given to a younger sister; this skill is given to you, and it can be regarded as a memory." Cai Yaomei Jian was overwhelmed. She saw that Miss Yu was so generous, but she didn't know whether it was because of Miss Hou Men's usual generosity, or because of her special love for herself.She neither pushed nor accepted, making her panicked and at a loss. At this time, Mrs. Yu and Young Mistress saw that Cai Jiu refused to accept the reward, and were in a dilemma. Seeing Jiaolong's behavior, they were moved by her, and each took off two pieces of jewelry and hairpins, and asked Xianggu to send them to the girl. Seeing this, Cai Jiu was about to step forward to stop him, but Xianggu glanced at him and said, "Ma'am, grandma said, this is for my sister to add to the box in the future, don't take care of it." Xianggu's words really touched Cai Jiu's heart. Seeing that her daughter has grown up and her mother died early, it's not a solution to drifting away with her in the long run. It's time to pay attention to her husband's family.So, he had no choice but to stop talking, and led his daughter to thank his wife, grandma and miss, put away his outfit, and left the house. When Cai Jiu and Cai Yaomei returned to the "Sihaichun" inn, Liu Taibao was already waiting at the door.Seeing Master Cai's gloomy face, and Cai Yaomei's muffled voice, he knew the situation was not good, so he rushed to welcome him in. After he sat down, Cai Jiu told the story of his entry into the mansion that day.Liu Taibao was also disappointed after hearing this, and didn't know what to do.Everyone was relatively silent and completely lost their minds. Cai Yaomei couldn't bear this dullness, poured her father a bowl of tea, and asked, "Father, what should we do in the future?" Cai Jiu was bored for a while, and then said: "Pack up your luggage and go back to Shaanxi." Liu Taibao's heart sank immediately, and he hurriedly glanced at Cai Yaomei, and it happened that Cai Yaomei also looked at him, although it was only for a moment, but Liu Taibao had already seen her anxiety from her eyes.He said in a tone of uncertainty: "Going back to Shaanxi is not an option. Since the blue-eyed fox has not been captured, how can we go back to do business..." Cai Yaomei suddenly became angry, she changed her usual carefree demeanor, and said, "Father, we have had enough for a blue-eyed fox! Such a big sky, such a large land, my father and daughter alone Where are the two of you going to find her! Those officials only want to reward themselves for promotion, but let us suffer. There are so many people in the Yamen, why don't you send more people out to chase after you! You want to go back to Shaanxi, What are you doing going back? You have suffered so much. Not only did you not say a word of sarcasm, but you suffered even more. What is waiting for you is not a cup of consolation wine, but a hundred punishment sticks. According to my daughter, Daddy might as well tell the spy story, and father and daughter go to the east of the Guandong together!" Cai Yaomei's words were so generous and fierce that even her father was surprised, thinking that what his daughter said was very reasonable.He also understood his daughter's mood, and it was the sudden change in the situation after traveling thousands of miles that inspired these words that had been pent up in his heart for a long time.But he felt that his daughter did not fully understand his intentions.So, he sighed, and said generously: "I didn't bring you out to suffer this crime entirely because of the order of the government. I think your father has been a policeman in Pucheng for thirty years. He also earned some fame in Shaanxi, and his 30-year fame fell into the hands of such a woman! Besides, this blue-eyed fox is also cruel, and keeping her alive is tantamount to leaving behind a disaster. This time Even if I made a mistake, you are too tired to suffer in vain. I want to go back to Shaanxi, and it’s not because I have the cheek to take a job. I plan to bring you back to Shaanxi, make some settlements, and then leave alone, even if the ends of the earth. Even if he is close to death, he must also bring the blue-eyed fox to justice." After hearing what her father said, Cai Yaomei felt sad for a while, so she couldn't help but lay down on her father's lap and sobbed.Cai Jiu is also in a poor situation, and his pity for his daughter has no one to support, which adds to his affection, and he can't help feeling a lot of emotion and tears. Liu Taibao tried to persuade him from left to right, and took a lot of words to ease the atmosphere in the room.He went to ask someone to bring lunch, and stayed with him.During the meal, he saw that Cai Jiu and Cai Yaomei were struggling to eat, and knowing that they were in a dilemma, he said with emotion: "Master Cai, I, Liu Taibao, also lost my parents when I was born, and I depended on my uncle to support me, so leave me this Industry. Thanks to the blessings of all guest officials, the business is still booming, and I don’t have the house and food expenses of Mr. Cai and Yaomei. I don’t think Mr. Cai will go back to Shaanxi in a hurry, let alone go to the east of the Guandong. He will stay in my inn temporarily Let's talk about staying here. As long as my 'Sihaichun' inn is open for one day, Master Cai and Yaomei will not be short of food and shops." Cai Yaomei secretly glanced at her father, but said nothing. Cai Jiu said: "Brother Liu, I appreciate your affection. You and I are not relatives, so how can we bother you like this!" Liu Taibao further said earnestly: "Master Cai, you can just treat me as your own son. There are business travelers from all over the world and rivers and lakes in my inn. It's convenient to inquire about anything. Just stay here for a while. , let me inquire slowly for you, and you can leave when you have clues.” Cai Jiu was moved by Liu Taibao's sincerity.Turning back to his daughter, he said, "What do you think, little girl! Let's stay here for a while, so as not to disappoint Brother Liu's good intentions." Cai Yaomei nodded and smiled, very sweetly and very relieved. After the meal, Cai Yaomei helped Liu Taibao clean up the dishes and sent him back to the stove. When crossing the courtyard dam, Cai Yaomei saw no one around, so she smiled and said to Liu Taibao: "You still can't keep my father, he has to leave sooner or later." Liu Taibao asked: "How do you think we can keep him?" Cai Yaomei half-jokingly half-seriously said: "Didn't you want my father to treat you like your own son! If you sincerely keep him and treat him as your father sincerely, you can ask him to be your godfather. " Liu Taibao was suddenly awakened by her, and hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll pay my respects right away." After delivering the bowls, she walked in front of Taibao with a smile on her face, and Cai Yaomei followed behind with a smile on her face.After entering the room, he didn't speak to Taibao, pulled Master Cai to sit on the armchair in the room, then took two steps back, shook his sleeves, took a step forward, bowed down respectfully, and kissed him back. He called "Godfather" affectionately. Cai Jiu didn't come back to his senses for a while, so he hurriedly left his seat and stood aside, asking anxiously, "Brother Liu, what are you doing here?" Cai Yaomei giggled, then pulled his father back to the seat, and said, "Brother Liu begs you to be your godfather. From now on, your old man will have a godson, and I will also have a brother Qian." Only now did Cai Jiu understand, and he felt happy, and hurriedly helped Liu Taibao up, saying, "This is too humiliating for you." Liu Taibao said: "Godfather, now you and I should be considered relatives. Although this is the upper room, it is still a bit messy. The backyard used to be the yard of my uncle's house. After my uncle died, I only lived in two rooms in the north room and the south room." There are still two vacant rooms, and the godfather and sister will move to that room tonight, so I can take care of them sooner or later." Cai Jiu readily agreed. In the evening, Liu Taibao brought some high-quality wine and dishes, and everyone happily drank to their heart's content.Master Cai, feeling drunk, took out a small cloth bag from his bosom and opened it. Inside was a silver lock with the words "Longevity and Wealth" engraved on the front of the copper lock; Red head rope.Master Cai put the lock in front of Liu Taibao, and said to him: "Taibao, there is nothing valuable around my godfather, but this silver lock is also left by your sister and mother, and I leave it for you as a souvenir. Bar! Liu Taibao thanked him, and carefully put it away in his bosom.In the middle of the night, Cai Yaomei sat alone in front of the lamp, took the bead flowers from Miss Yu's head, and carefully played with them in front of the lamp.I saw that this branch of bead flower was fan-shaped, interlocked with hair-thin silver thread, adorned with five pearls, the largest one was like a grape, crystal clear and shining.She suddenly remembered that she had seen such a bead flower on Damei's head.Damei said that a sister named Chun gave it to her, and said that sister Chun was extremely beautiful and had a good heart; she remembered that Miss Yu had also told her that she had two such pearl flowers, Another branch has been given to a sister.Cai Yaomei seems to think that this is the same thing, but she seems to think that this is not a person at all, she is confused.Cai Jiu and Cai Yaomei stopped at Liu Taibao's house for a while, got along very well and lived happily.Half a month later, one night, the second watch was called on the street, and Liu Taibao was talking in Mr. Cai's room. Suddenly, Xiao Er said, "A man came outside, and he was appointed to live in the upper room, and he had to prepare a room for him. Dinner and dinner. I told him that the fire in the stove had already been turned off, and the person in charge of the stove had gone home, and he was asked to use it outside, but the man just refused to obey, Brother Liu, what do you think?" Liu Tai bonded: "'It's convenient for others, convenient for yourself'. It's such a time. The street is quiet. Tell him where to eat. Let him have dinner with him in the upper room where Mr. Cai lived in the second courtyard. I'll make arrangements." Xiao Er went out to greet the guests.Liu Taibao hurriedly went to get some wine and a plate of steamed buns from his stove, and sent them to the Second Hospital in person.Cai Yaomei also came out with a lamp to illuminate him.When he came to the upper room in the second courtyard, he saw that the man had already settled down, standing in the room with his hands crossed, his face showing anxiety.Seeing Liu Taibao coming in with a lot of food, he hurriedly moved away from the table without answering, just smiled heartily, and each of them began to eat and eat.Liu Taibao felt that this person was so strange, so he looked at him carefully with the help of the light.This scrutiny made Liu Taibao secretly surprised, he had seen many burly men who were brave and aggressive, but he had never seen such a strong body.It is precisely because his whole body and limbs are so well-proportioned that he can't even tell it at a glance.If you pay attention, you can feel how much energy is stored in this man from his particularly thick neck, bulging chest and two arms that are beating inside the sleeves.Looking at the man's face again, he was not as flat as when he first saw it, but became more and more handsome the more he looked at it.The man didn't seem to notice that Liu Taibao was watching him carefully, and they were drinking and eating food as if nothing had happened. Cai Yaomei couldn't bear to wait outside the door and stepped into the room. The man raised his head, and when he saw Cai Yaomei, he couldn't help stopping his glass suddenly, and said in surprise: "Ah, you're here too. The capital is here." Cai Yaomei blinked her eyes in bewilderment. Liu Taibao asked, "Does the guest officer recognize this girl?" The man didn't even look up, he just replied, "I've seen her before. She's in Shihezi, West Xinjiang." Liu Taibao originally wanted to ask him a few more words, but it was obvious that he had no intention of answering, so he swallowed the words back. When he packed up the bowls and chopsticks and left the room, the man took out an ingot of ten taels of grain silver from his side, handed it to Liu Taibao and said, "Give me a number. My surname is Qiu, and my name is Shuanghu. I'm from Jiaohe, Hebei, and I'm looking for relatives." I’m here in Beijing. I’ll accept the ten taels of silver as the fee, I don’t like to haggle over everything.” Liu Taibao and Cai Yaomei returned to Master Cai's room, and everyone told Master Cai what they had just seen.Master Cai pondered for a while, then said solemnly: "I think this person has some background, and he is definitely not from the general world. The capital is a place where the world gathers, and there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons from time to time. For such a person, don't offend him." .” Cai Yaomei nodded, thinking her father was right.She didn't know why, but when she was standing outside the door just now, she already felt a tiger's aura from that man.
