The meal was ready and everyone sat around the square table.

There are two tables on each side. The Li couple sits north, Xu Huai sits next to her father, and Xu Qiuer on the other side. Ningxiang and his younger brother sit on the lower head of Li, and the new Guan Ping takes the south alone. Li asks his nephews and nieces to move there and put the soup bowl in front of her so that she can serve everyone with rice.

Xu Huai was burying his head to eat. As a man, eating a lot of soup is inevitable. Now Xu Huai is eating at the same table as the girl he fell in love with at first sight, so he ate faster and louder. Xu Qiuer secretly looked at Guan Ping. Although Guan Ping did not show any disgust, she felt embarrassed herself and quietly pointed her brother's big feet with the tip of her shoe.

Xu Huai looked at his sister and realized that he had lost his composure and quickly slowed down.

Li didn't pay attention to the little movements of his children. Seeing that Guan Ping was holding a bowl of dregs and not moving the scallions on the table and mixing tofu, he enthusiastically invited her to eat. Guan Ping had already appreciated the behavior of Li's mother and daughter. In order not to let Li keep nagging, he sucked his chopsticks and went to pick up the tofu.

With this stretch, a thin white wrist was revealed.

Xu Huai's eyes seemed to grow on it, making his eyes straight.

Li also saw it, but what she thought of was another thing. She looked at Guan Ping and her niece and smiled and said, "Miss Guan is only two years older than Xiang'er, and she is much taller. It just so happens that there is a market tomorrow. Let's go to the market together. My aunt will pull some cloth to make clothes for you."

Guan Ping had known that Ningxiang's clothes were not suitable for her. It was okay to stand, but when she sat down or worked, she moved her sleeves and trousers upwards. Hearing Li said this, she nodded and said calmly: "Aunt Lao has trouble. I wonder if there is a pawnshop in the town? I picked up an jade ring before, but because I was unable to hide silver on my body, I have never been used to do it. Now I have settled down and I will go and change it to some money. My aunt provides me with food and accommodation. I can't let my aunt spend money on other things."

The girl has a backbone, and Li likes her more and more. She smiled and said, "If you have a pawnshop, you are unscrupulous. No matter how valuable things are, you don't have much price. After dinner, you can take them out and show Xiang'er and ask her to help you estimate the price, so as not to feel at all and suffer a great loss. Xiang'er has been in the Marquis' Mansion for four years and will see this."

Guan Ping nodded.

Ningxiang looked at her and continued to eat her own.

After the meal, the three of them returned to the West Courtyard.

Amu went to snorkeling, Ningxiang stood in the kitchen, pointed to the west room and asked Guan Ping: "Are you sleeping in the west room yourself? Or should you stare at me even when you sleep?"

Guan Ping walked directly to the west room.

Ningxiang was very upset, but she also understood that if you blame it, it would be blamed on Pei Jinghan. Guan Ping was just following Pei Jinghan's instructions. Guan Ping showed off his power, so Ningxiang would naturally dislike her, but Guan Ping looked like she was willing to deal with her and Ningxiang would be unable to be cruel.

Back in the east room, Ningxiang took out a quilt she had made a few more a while ago and put it on the clothes drying rack to dry.

Amu rubbed his eyes and walked out of the thatched cottage in the east courtyard.

"Wash your hands and go to bed, my sister will go in later." Ningxiang said to her younger brother softly.

Amu nodded sleepily and went into the house to sleep.

Ningxiang sat on the small stool, staring at the door in a daze.

Inside the west room, Guan Ping lay on the old but clean kang mat, listening to the movements outside, wondering what she was doing outside.

I soon heard footsteps.

Guan sat up.

However, the footsteps walked out of the kitchen door for about twenty steps and stopped and walked back.

Guan Ping immediately lay down again when the little girl walked towards the west room and closed her eyes.

Ningxiang came in with a set of quilt and saw her lying straight there. She guessed that she could not fall asleep, so she put the quilt heavily on the kang.

Guan Ping opened his eyes and saw that the quilt was still new on the kang. Thinking that Ningxiang was sitting outside and was drying her quilt. She didn't get up. She lay down and looked at the girl who was kind but unhappy on the other side, "I'm here to monitor you, don't you hate me?"

"I hate you for what you do. I know you don't want to take on this job." Ningxiang turned around and leaned against the edge of the kang, lowered her head.

Guan Ping pursed her lips.

She didn't say a word, Ningxiang looked at her and asked nervously: "You, do you know when he will come back? If you can say it."

Guan Ping said truthfully: "I know nothing about the prince's movements except for errands."

Ningxiang clenched her hands in disappointment, remained silent for a moment, and walked out with her feet, "You go to bed."

I left the house in a blink of an eye.

Guan Ping stared at the door and heard her whispering to her brother in the east room, telling her stories gently.

She didn't touch the quilt, and leaned against the wall to close her eyes and rest.

After breakfast the next day, Li led the children to the market. Considering that Guan Ping had a valuable jade ring on her body, she was afraid that she would be missed by the thief when she went out to the pawn shop, Li called her 18-year-old tall and strong son, "The boss will go with us and come back to help carry things."

Xu Huai was happy. When his mother turned around, he looked at the girl next to his cousin.

On the road, Xu Huai always walked behind his mother and his eyes were staring at Guan Ping. The more he looked at the girl's tall figure, the more he liked it.

He felt very happy, Guan Ping felt like a stunning feeling. When he was a child, no man would look at her, a yellow-haired girl. When he grew up, he became a secret guard. He was surrounded by cold-blooded and ruthless people. He often went out alone to secretly do things, and there was no man who slut. He had disturbed her, but he didn't expect to come to the simplest village. He was first carried by Xu Huai, and then he was inexplicably targeted by him.

He was clearly afraid of her, so why did he like her?

Compared with his two beautiful sisters, what is there to be something worthy of his liking?

Guan Ping was not afraid of others being bad to her, but was afraid of who was good to her. After staying in Xu's house for one night, he was already exhausted by the family.

It was like a wolf entering the sheep pen. The sheep were not afraid of her, but instead took the initiative to send them to their necks.

The more I think about it, the more I get irritated.

Ningxiang felt no more comfortable than Guan Ping. The closer she got to Donglin Village, the more nervous she became. She was afraid of meeting the Lu family, so she didn't relax until she left Donglin Village.

The market outside the town is still lively, and Li took the children to the town first.

Early in the morning, the pawnshop had just opened, and the shopkeeper sat behind the counter, glanced at everyone, and asked lazily: "What do you want to be?"

Guan Ping walked over under the gaze of the Xu family, put the jade ring on the counter, and said coldly: "My girl said this ring is worth five taels of silver. If you accept it, give me the silver immediately. If you don't accept it, I will leave now."

The female secret guard who could not get angry with the Xu family was so useless that the pirate female secret guard threw the anger on the pawnshop.

The shopkeeper was stunned and stared at the girl opposite. Most of the people who came to be the ones were down and out. It was the first time he encountered such a master, but seeing that she was so powerful, could she really have something good?

The shopkeeper immediately looked at the stuff on the counter.

I saw clearly that nothing was shown on my face, but my hand was clenched excitedly.

Such a good guy, let alone five liang, he is willing to give it even if he doubles it.

But he still frowned and began to taste it in a pretentious manner.

Not far away, Li whispered to his niece, "It's really worth five taels?"

Ningxiang nodded slightly and smiled bitterly in her heart. Pei Jinghan arranged for Guan Ping to sell fingers to avoid spending her own money. It only costs five taels, probably because she was afraid that she would want more. Guan Ping had no reason to stay in the Xu family, right? Otherwise, it would be enough for her to sell a few dozen taels to come to the town to rent a house.

In Li's eyes, Wuliang was a fortune. Looking at Guan Ping, who was standing there with a straight figure, I sincerely admired him, "The poor children have long been in the family, Xiang'er is steady, and Miss Guan is more stable than you. Look, they are so powerful as things." Those who don't know think this is a down-and-out daughter of a wealthy family, and they lose money but are loyal.

After praising her, she turned around and told her son in a low voice, "You can follow the girl Guan later, be careful not to ask someone to steal it."

Xu Huai's eyes were firm.

Who dares to steal her money? He beat him up to search for teeth!

The shopkeeper wanted to suppress the price again, but Guan Ping grabbed the ring and was about to leave. The shopkeeper quickly stopped him and gave the money quickly.

When Li saw this, he walked out and held Guan Ping and regretted, "I'm going to be low."

Guan Ping was stiff and she held her arms.

Fortunately, Li let go after whispering.

When he arrived at the market, Li took the cloth first. Xu Qiuer pulled Guan Ping with expressionless face to buy the little things that his daughter liked. Ningxiang led her brother to walk to the left of her cousin with a lot of worries, secretly looking for the figure of the Lu family in the crowd, unable to tell whether she hoped to meet or not.

Xu Huai shouldered a great responsibility, no matter how crowded he was around, he always followed Guan Ping three steps behind him.

Suddenly the shoulder was hit by the person behind him. Xu Huai frowned and looked back. When he turned around, he saw a short man suddenly having a short dagger under his sleeve. The blade was sharp and headed straight for the purse around Guan Ping's waist.

“Bold!”

There is actually a thief!

He became angry and Xu Huai pushed away the person next to him and reached out to catch the thief.

However, before he could meet the thief, Guan Ping had already taken action first, and his body moved slightly away from the dagger. He turned his right hand and grabbed the thief's wrist. He also grabbed the thief's left shoulder with his left hand, pulling and pulling. With a click, the thief's right arm was removed by her...

The people around him who saw this scene widened their eyes. Even the thief who was thrown on the ground was stunned for a while before he got up and crawled into the crowd like a rat crossing the street. People with good things went after them, but more people stayed there, praised Guan Ping's ability, and some people even called her a female hero.

Guan Ping didn't like being watched by others, so he pulled Xu Qiuer away quickly, and handed Ningxiang a look before leaving.

Ningxiang instinctively led her brother to chase after him.

Xu Huai was the last one to react, but when he quickly chased, his eyes were still full of shock.

"Sister Guan, have you learned Kung Fu?"

When he arrived at a remote place, Xu Qiuer asked excitedly, even Amu, who was afraid of Guanping, came over with bright eyes and looked at her in admiration.

Ningxiang didn't expect Pei Jinghan would send such a powerful "maid" over, looking at Guan Ping with a complicated expression.

Guan Ping thought of an excuse before taking action, and his eyes swept over Ningxiang sisters, and finally fell on Xu Huai's face. He looked at him in the first time. Then, in the man's unexpected and nervous eyes, he said lightly: "I don't know how to do anything, but when I escaped from the famine, I met a master. Someone wanted to bully me at that time, and he saved me, and then taught me two moves, one against the thief who wanted to steal money, and the other against the lustful villain who wanted to rob.

When he said that, his eyes returned to Xu Qiuer.

In Xu Qiuer's eyes, although Guan Ping was not smiling at this time, she looked extremely close. The little girl was very happy and hugged Guan Ping's arm, begging her to go home in the afternoon to teach her these two tricks, and asked her to learn them too. The neglected ones did not understand the robbery at all. Amu was anxious and hugged Guan Ping's thigh and begged her to teach him too.

Only Xu Huai saw the threat in Guan Ping's eyes.

Was he warning him not to have any evil intentions towards her?

The first time he was moved, he suffered a ruthless blow. Xu Huai's face couldn't be cleared and pretended to look elsewhere to hide his thoughts.

He didn't want to bully her, he just liked her.

Unfortunately, she didn't like him and was so disgusted with him that she threatened him. Xu Huai didn't dare to bother him as her sister said, and she was shameless.

So on the way back to Xu's house, Guan Ping no longer felt the man's peeping, as if he had taken off two bags of rice from his shoulders, and he was relaxed all over.
