"Chan'er, daddy bought you lychees."

A cheerful voice came from the yard. Zhou Xingru, who usually had a serious old face, was holding a vegetable basket full of lychees in his hand.

Zhou Xingru's shout immediately woke up the two people in the silk mosquito net.

"Quick, hide in the closet."

A funny expression appeared on Pan Xiaoxian's face. This sentence seemed familiar. He had also hid in the closet to avoid Zhang Fengyi.

Pan Xiaoxian found it funny, so he dug out the satin mosquito net as quickly as possible and hid it in the closet with his hands and feet.

After hiding it, he suddenly remembered something.

They were entangled together just now, and the primitive impulse in their hearts took over their brains, forgetting that there was Chan'er on the bed.

If Chan'er spilled the beans and revealed that Pan Xiaoxian was also at home, it would have basically confirmed Zhou Xingru's cuckolding.

Pan Xiaoxian felt panicked and looked at the bed through the gap in the wardrobe.

Chan'er was lying on the bed, sound asleep, looking very cute while sleeping.

From time to time, he smacked his mouth twice, as if he had eaten something delicious.

Yun Niang knew Pan Xiaoxian's worries and deliberately said a few words: "Chan'er has a habit of falling asleep no matter where she is after eating. She still sleeps soundly and can't wake up even if there is thunder outside. .”

Pan Xiaoxian was relieved. No wonder there was no movement from Chan'er in Yun Niang's arms when the green-faced tiger broke in.

Turns out he was asleep.

Zhou Xingru walked into the room cheerfully. He had just put down the vegetable basket with lychees and had not yet spoken.

Yun Niang started to cry, as if she had been greatly wronged.

Zhou Xingru hurried over, ready to comfort Yun Niang, but discovered something was wrong.

There was blood on the ground.

Zhou Xingru became nervous and immediately asked: "Where is Chan'er injured?"

Yun Niang was filled with complaints about this nervous question, and it was true again.

In Zhou Xingru's heart, his daughter Chan'er always comes first, and everyone else has to move to the back.

Yun Niang wiped her tears, sobbed and told the story just now, but she changed the reason why the green-faced tiger escaped.

When he heard Zhou Xingru's voice, he ran away quickly.

Zhou Xingru was relieved when he heard that Chan'er was not injured, but he felt that the green-faced tiger was a trouble and kept walking around the room.

Zhou Xingru said: "I will call all the commanders of the Five Cities Army and Horse Division tomorrow and dig three feet into the ground to find the green-faced tiger."

Yun Niang shook her head and said: "For a desperado like him, the more you push him, the more extreme he will go. The only way is to find out Qing Mian Hu's family and they have been living in Jinling. Not only can we solve this desperado, but we can also become a A protective talisman of Chan'er."

Zhou Xingru had only one attitude towards danger, resolutely eradicating it without leaving any future troubles.

However, when Yun Niang said that she could become Chan'er's amulet, Zhou Xingru couldn't make up his mind and was shaken in his heart.

Yun Niang continued: "It is easy to dodge open guns and hard to defend against hidden arrows. Even if we use all the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, we may not be able to catch the green-faced tiger. If he is really cornered, he will be ambush in the dark." , it is a big threat to Chan’er.”

Zhou Xingru decided on the spot: "I'm going to tell the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to ask Zhang Fengyi to put down everything in his hands and live in the house until he finds Qing Mian Hu's family."

After Zhou Xingru said this, he left in a hurry and quickly found someone to protect his daughter.

After Zhou Xingru left, Pan Xiaoxian opened the closet and saw the lychees placed on the table.

Pan Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh: "Zhou Xingru is really a daughter slave."

If you want to take a bite of fresh lychees, you can only hurry up and send someone to Lingnan and deliver them to Jinling as quickly as possible.

The distance between Jinling and Lingnan is too far, and it is difficult to store lychees. They will become stale in a few days at most.

The basket of fresh lychees brought by Zhou Xingru would have exhausted at least three horses.

According to the market price, the price of a horse is one hundred taels, and three horses are three hundred taels of silver.

Zhou Xingru spent a full three million to give Chan'er a bite of fresh lychees.

Yun Niang took out two large lychees from the table and stuffed them into Pan Xiaoxian's hand: "This kind of thing is called lychee. Have you ever eaten it? Take it back and try it. It tastes very good."

Of course Pan Xiaoxian had eaten it before, but he had never eaten it in his life. He felt very hot holding two lychees.

Pan Xiaoxian said: "One hundred thousand for one bite, it's really a luxury."

Yun Niang thought that the one hundred thousand that Pan Xiaoxian was talking about was one hundred thousand dollars, which is one hundred taels of silver: "It's not as expensive as one hundred taels of silver, but it's almost the same. The silver for this basket of lychees is enough for an ordinary person." The common people have been eating and drinking for many lifetimes.”

Pan Xiaoxian did not refuse. He took two lychees and put them in his arms. Suddenly he remembered that there was something he had not asked: "I heard that the Imperial College will recruit a group of students recently. Are there some students in the last school that others don't know about?" secret."

Yun Niang looked at Pan Xiaoxian curiously: "How do you know about this? Not to mention you, not even your immediate boss's boss knows about it, there are only a few people in the entire Imperial College who know about it. "

When Pan Xiaoxian heard what Yun Niang said, he had already overestimated the importance of the information revealed by Liu Rushi, but now it seemed that it was a bigger secret.

Pan Xiaoxian didn't dare to inquire anymore. His status was too low. Knowing things he shouldn't know would only cost his life.

The Imperial College is not an ordinary school, it is equivalent to the Central Party School, cultivating young and outstanding reserve cadres for the country.

The Central Party School is making big moves, and it's best for ordinary junior staff not to get involved, let alone inquiring.

If the big man above him turns over casually, he may crush the little ant below.

Pan Xiaoxian is one of the little ants, even worse than an ant.

Yun Niang saw that Pan Xiaoxian was hesitant and did not dare to inquire further. She knew that he was worried that getting involved in too many things would not bring any benefits, but would be harmful.

Yun Niang chose what she could say and tried to avoid sensitive topics: "It's hard to explain this matter too clearly. What is certain is that the person who told you the news is really good to you and took a big risk. "

When Yun Niang said this, she didn't dare to continue talking. She only talked about ways to gain benefits by taking advantage of this east wind.

Yun Niang said thoughtfully: "You have been working from the ninth rank official position for so many years. It's time to find a way to move up to the first rank and become a chief official."

Pan Xiaoxian is just a low-level official now. He is ordered around all day long. If he rises one rank, he can become a chief officer who orders others.

The grades of officials are divided into nine levels and eighteen grades, and each grade promotion will bring about earth-shaking changes.
