Flower picking thief, where are you going!

"What?" Bao Heihei opened his mouth wide in surprise as if he heard something terrible, his face full of disbelief.

He picked up the letter and read it again from beginning to end. Although he couldn't recognize all of it clearly, he could still understand the general meaning.

Uncle Fu said that he ran into an old friend of Master Bao in Linhe County—Hu Ling, Master Hu, and was invited to be a guest in the mansion, so he was delayed for a few days and could not return to Pingyang as soon as possible.

Master Hu has a daughter named Hu Qingrou, who has been betrothed to Bao Heihei since she was a child.

Hu Qingrou said that he wanted to visit Pingyang County, and Folbert wrote a letter to inform him in advance.

Bao Heihei put the letter aside, "Uncle Fu, what does he mean? He brought me a fiancée out of nowhere?"

"Master Bao doesn't know about this?" Tang Helin turned his face away, and his tone was a little more cold than usual.

Bao Heihei looked innocent.

Where do I know where to go?It's not me who is engaged to Miss Hu.

Bao Heihei wiped his face, and hurriedly said: "I really don't know about this, this baby...it's all old sesame seed and rotten millet, how can I remember it!"

Arranged marriages are harmful!I haven't even met her face to face, who knows what kind of monster that Miss Hu is!

"Maybe Mrs. Bao will remember her when she arrives in Pingyang County tomorrow." Tang Helin said casually, flapping his folding fan.

"She's coming tomorrow? So soon?" Bao Heihei scratched his head, he couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in, but there was an inexplicable embarrassment and depression.

It's not a problem for him to receive Hu Qingrou, but... But the key is her identity - fiancée!

"Master Bao, you really didn't look carefully." Tang Helin moved his body to look for the letter that Bao Heihe had left aside, and he handed the letter back to Bao Heihei, "Fu Bo has written on the letter." Explain that they will arrive at noon tomorrow."

It's not that Bao Heihei didn't read carefully, it's because he couldn't understand some content.

Come, come, she is a girl, and she cannot be driven away.

"Since that's the case, I'm going to find Tu Dou and the others to help clean up a room. Ms. Hu must be staying in the county government office when she comes."

"I'll go with my lord." Tang Helin put away his folding fan, and although he was a bit reluctant, he got up and said.

"No need." Bao Heihei shook his head and refused.

Considering that Tang Helin had just recovered from his recovery, Bao Heihei refused his help.

"Master Bao, are you going to abandon me because you have a new love?"

Tang Helin changed his usual tone, which made Bao Heihei very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you, Tang Xiaohua?" Bao Heihei noticed the change in Tang Helin's attitude and frowned in confusion.

Although Tang Helin usually speaks out of tune, he is not as eccentric as today.

Bao Heihei's face is inexplicable!

Is Tang Xiaohua angry?

Why is he so angry?

…………

Before noon, Uncle Fu went back to the county office first.

"Fu Bo, why did you come back alone? Didn't you say that you still have Mrs. Bao's fiancée?" Tu Dou stood on tiptoe and looked around, asking with a confused face.

Everyone was curious about what Lord Bao's fiancée looked like. Except for Tang Helin, the others came to greet her at the gate of the county government early in the morning.

In the end, only Faber was received.

Bao Heihei was speechless for a while, and he was extremely uncomfortable hearing his fiancée.

"Miss Hu is delicate and expensive, and can't stand the bumps of the carriage, so she came here in a sedan chair, a bit slower than me, but it should be faster." Uncle Fu said and looked back, but he didn't see the carriage.

She was indeed a young lady from a rich family, with black eyebrows, one high and one low, and her body was more delicate than sister Lin.

"Uncle Fu, does this officer really have such a fiancée?"

"That's right, young master! That was decided before you were born. Master and Master Hu have a very good personal relationship, and the wives of the two families have been pregnant one after another. That's why..."

Before Uncle Fu finished speaking, Bao Heihei took a step forward. He felt that he knew what was going on without listening. Isn't this the legendary "marriage with fingertips"!

"Uncle Fu, you go to rest first, you are tired after walking for so long." Bao Heihei sent Uncle Fu to the room, and came to order: "You four don't stand there like door gods, what's the matter?" It's beautiful, it's all gone."

"Master Bao, are we not picking up Miss Hu?" Yang Cong asked.

"She doesn't know when she will come. Staying here is also a waste of time. Why should she go?"

Just as Bao Heihei was about to send some people away, a sedan chair stopped at the gate of the county government office.The few people who hadn't gone far heard the sound, stopped and looked back.

A woman slowly came down from the sedan chair, with a weak willow supporting the wind, and her breath was like an orchid.She walked out of the sedan chair with the help of her personal servant girl, looked up at the Pingyang county government office, and naturally saw Bao Heihei standing at the gate of the county government office.

The moment she saw the county government office, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes that she couldn't even notice.

"Miss, did we come to the wrong place?" The maid next to her saw that the yamen was so dilapidated, which was far from what she usually saw.

Hu Qingrou withdrew her gaze and whispered, "Xiao Xiang, don't be rude."

Hu Qingrou is much more beautiful than Bao Heihei imagined, she has the gentleness and generosity of a lady, with a beautiful face, she is a great beauty at first glance.

"Master Bao, that must be Ms. Hu!" Tu Dou tugged at Bao Hei's clothes, and couldn't stop laughing for a while, thinking that Ms. Hu is really a beauty, and she is a good match for their adults.

"My lord, why are you standing there? Ms. Hu is here, why don't you go up to greet her?" Seeing that Bao Heihei didn't even intend to leave, Luo Bo couldn't help reminding her.

"Oh!" Bao Hei nodded dully, and walked down the steps towards Hu Qingrou.

"Is it Miss Hu?" Bao Heihei greeted him with a smile, although he had a question, he already had an answer in his heart.He stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "I have been waiting for a long time, Miss Hu please come in quickly."

Hu Qingrou bowed her body and saluted, and said very gently: "Young girl has taken the liberty to come here, you are bothering me so much, I hope Mr. Bao will not take offense."

"Where, where." Bao Heihei smiled, and did not continue to courteously with Hu Qingrou, "Miss Hu, it's windy outside, please come inside!"

Hu Qingrou hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and walked with the support of the maid Xiaoxiang.

Tu Dou wanted to follow behind as if heckling, but was stopped by Luo Bo shaking his head.

…………

The vegetation in the courtyard is barren and desolate, even worse than the outside.Hu Qingrou paused, slightly surprised, "Master Bao..."

Just as she was about to speak, she saw a young man approaching in front of her. "Miss Hu, I've heard Mrs. Bao mention Miss Hu's name a long time ago. When I saw her today, she is really bright and charming, with an extraordinary temperament!"

Tang Helin was dressed in lavender clothes, held a folding fan, and wore a jade crown on his head. Coupled with his evil smile, he exuded an air of elegance and luxury, which seemed incompatible with the dilapidated county government.

As soon as Tang Helin appeared, the servant girl only took one look, and her face flushed instantly with embarrassment.She lowered her head and peeked at it from time to time.

Hu Qingrou's eyes were shining, and she asked a little shyly, "Who is this young master?"

Bao Heihei glanced sideways, and frowned in displeasure.

The nasty charm of the flower picker!

"My surname is Tang, and I am an 'honored guest' invited by Mr. Bao." Tang Helin deliberately emphasized the word "honored guest".

A distinguished guest is a distinguished guest, Bao Heihei did not refute.

It's just...the servant girl and the young lady both looked towards Tang Helin, they chatted happily, and left Bao Heihei aside, the scene was very embarrassing.

Bao Heihei pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy.

What's even more strange is that he doesn't know why he is not happy?

Is it because Hu Qingrou was fascinated by seeing Tang Helin fascinated?Bao Hei shook his head secretly.

Or is it because of Tang Xiaohua's warm attitude towards Hu Qingrou and her charming eyes?

Suddenly, a burst of drumming sounded, interrupting Bao Heihei's thoughts.

Some people are beating drums to express their grievances, which indicates that Mr. Bao will sit in court to try the case.

Yang Cong came to report in a hurry, "Master Bao, Zhang Feng's family lost a cow, claiming that his neighbor Li Wen had stolen it, but Li Wen refused to admit it, and the two had a dispute. Zhang Feng and Zhang Feng's dispute failed, and they sued the yamen. Your lord will give them justice."

Yang Cong spoke very fast, "Master Bao, go and have a look!"

Bao Heihei raised his head and glanced at Hu Qingrou. As a magistrate, he naturally wanted to be promoted to trial the case, but would it be a little rude to leave Hu Qingrou alone?

"Master Bao, just go and handle the case, Miss Hu will leave it to me." Tang Helin gave Bao Heihe a confident smile and said, "I am very familiar with the county government."

The urging outside was very urgent, Bao Heihei hesitated again and again, and had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Miss Hu, I don't take good care of you, I hope Miss Hu will forgive me."

Hu Qingrou smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Master Bao has official business, and it's my daughter who disturbs me a lot. It's important for Master Bao to handle official business. My daughter is accompanied by Mr. Tang, so you don't have to worry about it."

The corner of Bao Heihei's mouth twitched, did he get acquainted with Tang Helin so quickly?It is because he is in this official that he is worried.

Tang Xiaohua has nothing to show her courtesy, there must be a ghost!

Even though he was very worried, Bao Heihei still walked out of the door and sat in the hall to hear the case.

For a moment, there were only Tang Helin, Hu Qingrou and the servant girl left in the courtyard.

"Miss Hu, how about letting me go around with Miss Hu?" Tang Helin suggested with a smile as he turned the folding fan in his hand.

"The county government is so broken, how can it get any better?" the maid Xiaoxiang complained with her mouth pouting.

"Xiaoxiang..." Hu Qingrou glared at Xiaoxiang sideways, implying that she should not talk nonsense.

Xiaoxiang quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak.

"Young Master Laotang is here."

"Miss Hu, please!" Tang Helin stretched out his hand holding the folding fan gracefully, and turned slightly sideways.

Not far away, a gust of evil wind blew in the courtyard, and the wind swept the yellow sand, making people blinded by the blowing.

Xiao Xiang stood in front of Hu Qingrou, covering her face with her hands, "Miss, are you alright?"

"Cough—cough—" Hu Qingrou's eyes almost got sand from the wind, and her hair was already messy. She covered her mouth with a handkerchief and coughed a few times.

"Master Tang, our young lady is delicate and weak, and can't stand such a strong wind, why don't you take us back to the house?" Xiaoxiang urged dissatisfiedly when she saw her young lady coughing.

Tang Helin calmed down and turned a blind eye to the scene just now. He stroked a strand of hair hanging behind his ear and smiled, "Alright, Miss Hu, please follow me."

What the two of them did not expect was that the house was actually more "challenging" than the courtyard.
