Although Meng Chengtian can't read well, but because he likes to ride horses, he is still good at equestrian skills.His horse was whipped madly by Xiao Yuming with all his strength, but he didn't fall off, and after calming down the horse, he turned the horse's head and rushed towards Xiao Yuming.

Here, Xiao Yuming and Qi Er Yan Wu have already met, talking and laughing.Meng Chengtian rushed over with a few people, and he was about to fight Xiao Yuming and the others when he got off his horse.

"Meng Chengtian, how about a test with me?" Xiao Yuming held a horsewhip in his left hand and tapped his right hand one after another.

"Compared to what?" Meng Chengtian knew that Xiao Yuming was full of tricks, so he didn't dare to agree immediately.But Xiao Yuming glanced at him contemptuously and said, "I heard that there are red foxes on the western side of the mountain. Let's compete and see who can hunt them down."

Meng Chengtian had never heard of red foxes in the western mountains of the suburbs of Beijing, so he turned to ask the people around him.A person beside him said softly: "It is true that there are red foxes in Xishan. Their fur is as red as blood. It is really beautiful."

But at this time, Qi Er and Yan Wu's contemptuous voices came from the opposite side, "Meng Chengtian, don't be afraid."

Meng Chengtian felt that he was not inferior to the three opponents in terms of hunting, so he snorted coldly and said, "Okay, what is the prize?"

Both Yan Wu and Qi Er looked at Xiao Yuming, Xiao Yuming pursed his lips and remained silent, looking uncertain.Seeing this, Meng Chengtian said sarcastically: "What? Xiao Er, once you hear that you have a lot of money, you will be discouraged?"

Xiao Yuming looked irritated, and snorted coldly: "If you win, I will lose to you a war horse outside the pass. What if I win?"

Meng Chengtian's eyes lit up when he heard the battle horse outside the pass, he said excitedly: "Okay, if I lose, I will give you 5000 taels of silver, how about it?"

Xiao Yuming curled his lips, "Master, short of money?"

"Then what do you want?" Meng Chengtian asked.

Xiao Yuming thought for a while, and finally waved his hands and said, "All right, all right, just the money."

5000 taels of silver can buy four or five war horses outside the pass.But war horses outside the pass, sometimes even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

The two set a time limit of seven days, and whoever hunted the red fox first would win.After the talk, the two parties went to the west mountain together.On the way, Qi Er asked Xiao Yuming in a low voice, "Why do you want to compete with him?"

Xiao Yuming thought for a while, but instead of telling them the truth, he said, "I don't like him."

Both Qi Er and Yan Wu understood.The second prince didn't deal with Yongninghou's mansion, even the Liang's family who brought the second prince along. Even Mrs. Liang's natal family didn't have much contact with Yongninghou's mansion.

"Someone said that there are red foxes in Xishan, but no one has seen them. It's hard for you to win this time." Yan Wu said.

Xiao Yuming smiled strangely, "My grandfather got a red fox a few days ago."

Qi Er and Yan Wu were taken aback after hearing his words, and then laughed hahaha. The two immediately began to discuss how they would spend the 5000 taels that Xiao Yuming had won.

A group of seven or eight sons and sons, dressed in brocade clothes and fine attires, rode tall horses into the Xishan area, and there was a sensation within a few miles around in an instant. Liu Biqin and Hong'er, who lived in the Xishan villa, also knew about it from Mrs. Guan. thing.

After Mrs. Guan left, Hong'er said to Liu Biqin unintentionally, "Miss, which family do you think he is from?"

Liu Biqin was also a little confused, but it didn't show on her face.She shook her head and said, "How do I know?"

"Anyway, it's definitely not from a small family. Judging by the posture, you can tell it's a master." After Hong'er finished speaking, she looked at Liu Biqin and asked in a low voice: "Miss, why don't you go and find out?"

Liu Biqin struggled for a moment, then nodded, "Be careful."

Hong'er happily agreed, and cheerfully picked up the curtain and went out.Liu Biqin's heart was extremely sour, thinking that she was once a lady of everyone, never would she have thought that one day, she would do something to sacrifice her life for her livelihood.

But she can't help it, Xiao Yuchen has no news, if this continues, if he forgets himself, then she will wait in this poor and poor place for the rest of her life?

No, she can't live like this forever, she has to fight for herself.

Here, Hong'er left Zhuangzi and walked for another quarter of an hour before seeing a group of people standing in the distance at the door of two village households, seeming to be talking about something.When he got closer, he saw a very heroic young man among the crowd, whoever it was if it wasn't Xiao Yuming.

Because Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Yongning Hou had a good relationship, and the two families got close before, Hong'er naturally met Xiao Yuming.

The elder brother who can get close to the son of the Hou family must have a good background, Hong'er became even more excited.She hid in a corner to observe, and when she saw a group of people finished speaking, she rode into the mountain.Hong'er went to the two farmers' houses to inquire.

It turned out that the pedestrian asked the two families to prepare some water and feed for their horses.The reason why this pedestrian bothers two families instead of one is because this pedestrian is divided into two groups, and the two groups do not deal with each other, so the horses are not fed together.

Hong'er asked other questions, and then excitedly went back to the Yongning Hou Mansion's Zhuangzi in Xishan.Entering the house, seeing Liu Biqin, she said: "Miss, guess who I saw?"

Liu Biqin looked melancholy and asked, "Who did you see?"

Hong'er moved closer to her, lowered her voice and said, "Second Young Master Xiao."

"Who?" Liu Biqin thought she was hallucinating.

"It's the Second Young Master Xiao." Hong'er said.

Liu Biqin stood up vigorously, and then walked outside.Hong'er quickly grabbed her, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to ask Xiao Yuming why Brother Chen didn't come to see me." Tears filled Liu Biqin's eyes, even if Xiao Yuming could come to Xishan, why couldn't Xiao Yuchen.

Hong'er held her tightly, and said eagerly: "Miss, don't you understand? It must be that Xiao Shizi doesn't want or can't come to see you."

Liu Biqin gritted her teeth and shed tears, Hong'er took her arm and said earnestly, "Miss, both the Hou's Mansion and Prince Xiao are unreliable, you have to make plans as soon as possible."

Liu Biqin was silent with tears streaming down her face, but her eyes slowly became firmer. Seeing this, Hong'er hurriedly said: "Miss, this time is a good opportunity."

"But... but my identity..." She is the daughter of a criminal minister, if she is found out, she will only die.This is also the fundamental reason why she never dared to go out after she came to Xishan Zhuangzi.

"Oh, my miss. Xiao Shizi can hide you, but others can't?" Hong'er said.

Liu Biqin pursed her lips again, hesitated for a while, and said, "You pay attention to the movements over there."

Hong'er nodded quickly, and ran away happily.Mrs. Guan in the main room saw Hong'er going in and out, and said to Guan Yougen, "I think Mrs. Hou's goal is about to be achieved."

Guan Yougen took two puffs of dry cigarette, said: "Don't worry about it, everyone has his own life."

Sister Guan sighed and muttered, "It's better to marry a rich family than to be a concubine in a big house!"
