"Sister, we want to play eagles to catch chicks. You should be eagles for us!"

Amu suddenly ran from outside to the yard and discussed with his sister sitting under the tree expectantly.

Ningxiang didn't want to go, and she was too tired to play with this. She still remembered the way her cousin was tortured by the children when she was protecting the "chicken cub". After stopping the needle and thread, Ningxiang looked at the west room, secretly winked at her brother, and signaled her brother to ask Guan Ping.

Amu was still a little afraid of being calm and shook his head restrainedly.

Ningxiang whispered to encourage her younger brother, "Just say that your sister is sewing clothes for her and ask her to be an eagle for you."

Da Zhuang outside urged again, Amu and his sister twisted for a while, but when they saw that their sister really refused to go, they had to walk into the house slowly.

Guan Ping was lying on the kang, doing nothing except listening to Ningxiang outside. Amu ran to the kitchen. She thought the boy was drinking water, but she turned around to her side. Guan Ping immediately sat up. When she got up, Amu picked up the curtain and the two of them were catching up.

Amu's little hands nervously grabbed the door curtain.

He always felt that Sister Guan's look at people was a bit similar to Anan's general.

"Is there anything wrong?" Guan Ping tried to relieve his expression as much as possible, although there was no difference in Amu's eyes.

Looking at this sister who doesn't like to laugh, Amu touched her head and said timidly: "Sister Guan, we want to play eagle catching chicks. My sister is not available to help you make skirts. I'm fine if I ask you to be an eagle?"

Guan Ping paused and said to the door panel: "I'm not available either."

The uneasiness in Amu's eyes suddenly turned into disappointment. He lowered his voice and said, putting down the curtain and leaving.

"etc."

The boy's disappointed eyes made Guan Ping feel more uncomfortable than Xu Huai's peeping. Xu Huai gave up tactfully. Guan Ping was relaxed all over and Amu left obediently. Not only did she not feel relaxed, but her chest was even more suffocating. The feeling was even more difficult to live in peace than killing someone.

Guan Ping got off the ground with a brisk opening the curtain and said to the boy standing in the kitchen in a daze: "I have never played eagle catching chicks, I can only play hide-and-seek. You hide, I will catch you as a ghost."

It's all for children to play, but the eagle is too naive to run around, so she really can't do it, so it's much easier to find someone.

Amu's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Then I'll ask them if they're playing!"

After saying that, he ran out. After a while, he stood at the gate and shouted to her, "Sister Guan, come out, let's play hide and seek!"

Guan Ping glanced at the wall helplessly, then walked out without expression, looked at the girl under the persimmon tree, and saw her lowering her head and doing needles and threads seriously, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.

Guan Ping moved his lips, but didn't know what he could say.

Someone took the initiative to be a ghost, and seven or eight children hid immediately, the range was the Xu family and Dazhuang family. Ningxiang smiled and watched her brother and two and four partners rushed to her home. One of them picked a place to hide it. Guanping Gujing outside counted twenty times without waves, and came in with a serious face, looking for a bad guy who wanted to catch the child and sell it.

Ningxiang could no longer hold it back and raised the corners of her mouth.

When the children were tired of playing, Ningxiang put the needle and thread basket back into the house and asked the two men who were squatting in the yard to wash their hands, "What do you want to eat at noon?"

"I want to eat pancakes." Amu raised his head and said. While playing outside, a friend came home to eat pancakes. Amu was a little greedy.

Ningxiang looked at Guan Ping.

"I'm whatever I want." Guan Ping said lightly.

"Then let's set the pancake." Ningxiang went to the East Courtyard to get the noodles, knead the noodles and make pancakes.

Guan Ping didn't use her words, and he held the firewood and prepared to burn the fire.

In the farmyard, there were only two girls and one child. Ningxiang sat at the north gate to roll noodles. She watched her younger brother play on the chicken circle and chatted with Guan Ping in front of the stove in a low voice: "What did you do in the Hou Mansion before?"

Guan Ping didn't say anything.

Ningxiang didn't expect her to answer. She was just a moment of feeling. She looked at Guan Ping and said to the panel: "Do you know Su Yue? The mansion I entered with her is like a sister. The prince likes us, but what good life can we have with the prince? At most, be a concubine. If you are lucky, you will be in peace with the future prince's wife, but you are also trapped in a small side courtyard. You have to ask the master first when you go in and out. It's not like being the boss of your own family? I advise Su Yue to redeem herself with me. She scolded me for being heartless and let the prince's favor... Guan Ping, watching you walk around our house these days, I can't help but think, how good it is to be Su Yue, we will continue to be sisters. Unfortunately, everyone has their own ambitions, and she refuses to go home with me. But now, it's a good thing that she doesn't redeem herself. When the prince comes back, I may not be sure of my fate."

She didn't know what Guan Ping would say when she replied to Pei Jinghan. Ningxiang just wanted to try her best to pick Su Yue out of this matter. She told Guan Ping half-truely and half-falsely, hoping that she could believe it.

Guan Ping looked at the door, as if he hadn't heard it.

If you can choose, is it better to spend your days leisurely or to run around every day?

Ningxiang at least has a chance to choose, she doesn’t even have a chance. The more things she knows, the harder it is to get out of the Marquis’ Mansion.

After lunch, the brother and brother rested in the east room, Guan Ping lay in the west room, and his eyes closed and he slept.

Lying down until the whole village, it seemed that he was asleep. There was no other sound except cicadas. Guan Ping finally felt a little sleepy. But at this moment, she heard a gentle sound from the backyard, as if something heavy fell from the wall. A little movement came from the chicken circle, and it calmed down in an instant.

A thief comes?

In July, the tigers are on the verge of the farmers, and the kitchen doors are open for a while, and the thief chooses to steal at this time, which is indeed smart.

But the village people are simple and the people in the city have to arrange doormen to guard the house. The villagers don’t need them at all. The gate is open all day long. Sometimes they don’t even need to lock them when going out for a short time. Who is so confused? They come to steal in broad daylight? After choosing the Xu family, is it because he is brave and dares to go to any family? Or did he find out the details of the Xu family in advance and know that they are only two big and one small at home today?

Guan Ping quietly got off the ground, walked to the curtain with his breath, and looked out through the crack in the door.

At the north gate of the open kitchen, a thin figure tiptoed, wearing a blue shirt, red lips and white teeth, looking like a scholar. He hid at the door and listened with his ears, probably because he was sure that the person inside was asleep. When the man entered the door, he looked directly at the door of the east room, with a sneer on his face.

Guan Ping immediately understood that this person had never thought that there was someone in the west room.

His eyes followed him, Guan Ping quietly moved to the other side of the curtain crack. Seeing that the other party was not in a hurry to do anything, Guan Ping smiled for the first time after coming to the Xu family.

Very well, he closed the door for her, so she didn't have to worry about being caught by the villagers who might pass by.

~

The person who came was Zhang Honglin.

He came early, hiding over the Beihe River, and then rushed to the back door of the Xu family in the scorching sun. He asked the Xu family to live next to the village, but no one saw him. Although Zhang Honglin was a scholar, he was naughty when he was a child. He could climb trees and walls, and it was easy to climb such a small farmyard.

Suddenly, he touched the kitchen and the south gate was closed. Zhang Honglin walked lightly to the door of the east house. Through the crack of the door, he saw Ningxiang's sibling sleeping soundly on the kang. Zhang Honglin stared at Ningxiang's beautiful side face and swallowed his saliva hard. Everything was ready, the time, place and people were harmonious. Zhang Honglin did not hesitate and took out the handkerchief that had been prepared long ago.

The veil was prepared on the veil, and as long as he completely fainted his cousin, he could carry it to the west room and enjoy it.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became, Zhang Honglin reached out to pick up the door curtain.

As he was about to touch the curtain, a strange wind suddenly came from behind him. Zhang Honglin instinctively turned around. Without seeing the figure clearly, his right hand was forced to lift it up, and the handkerchief in his hand completely covered his mouth and nose. As if he saw evil or ghost, Zhang Honglin struggled violently, but his body had been twisted and pressed against one wall with his arm. He tried to raise his legs and kick it. The other party pressed him to the ground with force, and then he pushed his knees hard on his stomach.

Zhang Honglin opened his mouth in pain.

The sound is blocked, and the medicine goes in more places.

His vision became blurred, and Zhang Honglin stared at the strange woman above his head like a ghost, but he still couldn't believe it.

Guan Ping carried the man to the floor of the west room and searched, but found no other weapon. She looked at the veil and turned to the east room.

The siblings slept soundly on the kang and didn't notice her coming in. Guan Ping stared at Ningxiang's gentle and beautiful face and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Such a beauty has no father or mother. If she hadn't been here today, she would have been killed by the thief, right?

Guan Ping gently pushed the person.

Ningxiang woke up immediately. When she opened her eyes, she saw Guan Ping's solemn standing in front of the edge of the kang. Ningxiang's heart sank, "Is he here?"

The little girl's face turned pale, Guan Ping whispered: "No, I caught a thief who climbed over the wall. Come out and see if you recognize him."

She always felt that the other party was not an ordinary thief.

A thief who climbs over the wall?

Ningxiang's face turned paler. Could it be Lu Cheng?

Looking at her sleeping brother, Ningxiang quickly put her shoes on the ground. Guan Ping stared at her trembling hands as she carried her shoes, feeling confused. Could it be that in Ningxiang's heart, the thief who climbed over the wall was even more terrifying than Pei Jinghan?

Ningxiang couldn't care about Guan Ping's thoughts, so she grabbed her clothes and went to the west room, opened the curtain, and saw Zhang Honglin fainting on the ground at a glance.

Not Lu Cheng!

The heart raised high in his chest finally fell steadily, and then it turned into a disgust from the heart.

"Meet?" Guan Ping asked in a low voice.

Ningxiang nodded, looking like she was reluctant to mention the other party, "He is my cousin. He is going to have an examination in August. He wants to ask me to plead in front of the prince, but I didn't agree. I don't know why I came here secretly today..."

Guan Ping reminded her in time: "I didn't knock him out. The handkerchief he brought was covered with a pill. I guess he wanted to make you faint. As for what he would do after making you faint, I don't know."

Ningxiang's body stiffened and stared at Zhang Honglin's handsome face, and suddenly felt disgusted.

There may be countless reasons for men to make women faint, but Ningxiang thought of the most unbearable one.

Seeing that she guessed, Guan Ping calmly said: "What do you want to deal with him?"

There was a lot of curiosity in her eyes. This girl was soft-hearted and kind, and I wonder what she would do to her intention to get involved in her cousin.
