The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Anxia was amused by his strange brain circuit. Why do you think this way when you see this person? In fact, she just wanted his dog.

She took Bei Hui and others to the back door, and sure enough she saw a man and a dog standing in the wind and snow.

There was no place to hide from the snow at the back door. The snow was so thick that most of the dog's legs were covered.

But the man still looked very tall, with an indescribable sense of brokenness.

One is a well-dressed and wealthy lady, surrounded by maids and women, walking around; the other is a quiet, upright and down-and-out man, standing alone in the wind and snow with a dog.

There is a sharp contrast between the two, as if one is a sunny summer and the other is a snowy winter. There is more than one autumn in between, it is clearly...

The big black dog waggled its tail and ran happily to rub her hand.

"What do you know?" Shi Anxia still looked at the big black dog with gentle eyes, but it was the big black dog he asked.

He didn't reply, he just raised his hand and waved without looking.

A dart flew out, and the white snow on the trees mixed with rime and fell down.

In a moment, not only did the dart return to his hand, but even a thick branch as big as a cup fell down with a bang.

Shi Anxia's eyes lit up, but she didn't exclaim like the maids and women behind her. She just smiled warmly, "Are you willing to be my guard? One tael of silver per month, and you will be responsible for food, housing, and dogs." "

He paused for a moment, looking helplessly at the big black dog that was shaking its head and tail, and gave a casual snort as an answer.

Shi Anxia raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "The dog has returned to its original girl."

This time he didn't respond and lowered his eyebrows. Instead, the big black dog jumped up and down and ran happily.

One person and one dog just lived in the Hou Mansion.

House guards all share a room with two to four people. Shi Anxia asked Bei Hui to prepare a separate room for this man.

The new guards all live in a courtyard a little far away from Xia Shiyuan and close to the stables.

Bei Hui replied with a headache, "The big black man is too tall, and the guards' clothes don't fit him. They are too short."

Shi Anxia thought that the man looked very funny in short clothes and robes, and couldn't help but laugh softly, "Make him two different sets, let him be the chief of the guards, and teach the newcomers some kung fu."

Bei Hui responded and left.

The red magpie passed by Bei Hui with the wet big black dog and called "Sister Bei Hui".

Bei Hui reached out and touched her head, said "Good boy" and left the room.

There were many charcoal pots burning in the house, which was very warm.

The big black dog was washed clean, but its coat looked dull, showing that it had been rough from sleeping in the open.

There were still scars on it, but they were all scabbed over.

There was a scar that stretched from the dog's leg to its belly. I don't know how tragic it was at the time.

Shi Anxia touched the dog's head distressedly, took the big velvet towel from Hong Que's hand and carefully dried the wetness on its body, "Have you asked, what is the big black dog's name?"

Red Que raised her little mouth and replied, "What can you ask? That big black piece of wood is like a mute."

Shi Anxia sat on the embroidered pier, warming the fire and petting the dog, and thought for a while, "Since you don't want to say it, let me choose a name..."

Mo Baoer? No, Mo Bao'er wasn't born yet. Besides, her Mo Baoer is unique and irreplaceable.

Shi Anxia suddenly remembered something and took a look, hey, the big black dog is a baby girl.

"Then let's call you Ye Bao'er." Shi Anxia opened the dog's mouth and took a look. His teeth were thick with snow, "You are still very young, how come you have grown so big?"

As long as you have a name, you feel like you are a member of this family. The red magpie was puzzled, "Girl, why do you call it Ye Bao'er?"

"It's as dark as night." Shi Anxia frowned.

Hong Que rarely saw a girl smiling so happily. The girl before was also pretty good, but she was too deep and lacked the color she should have at this age.

If this night baby can make a girl smile, then it is a good dog. The red magpie rewarded it with a bowl of meat mixed with rice and a big bone that night.

When Ye Baoer's name spread to the palace guard, the man's eyes darkened slightly.

When Bei Hui sent the clothes, he wrote a note and handed it to her.

Shi Anxia opened the note and saw two powerful words on it: Chen Yuan.

Come to think of it, that's that person's name.

Shi Anxia asked Bei Hui to create a register under this name, but did not ask him to sign any deed of betrayal.

She knew that this person was not simple, and his handwriting was very good. From a glance, it seemed that he had been carefully trained by a great scholar since he was a child.

She didn't really think he was a palace guard.

But no matter who he is, since he agrees to join the Marquis Mansion as a palace guard, he must abide by the rules of the palace guard.

As long as he does something wrong, she will kick him out of the house immediately. This meaning was conveyed by Bei Hui, and Chen Yuan said nothing with a cold face.

Several other guards in the courtyard were also new recruits, and they quickly got along with each other. Everyone thought Chen Yuan was mute.

Everyone was quite puzzled. The chief of guard was mute, so how could he take care of them?

In fact, Chen Yuan didn't care about them at all.

He was always alone, only blowing his whistle in the dead of night and calling Ye Baoer to sleep with him.

So Ye Baoer followed behind Shi Anxia during the day, occasionally wandering around, and rested in Chen Yuan's house at night, very happy.

On this day, the uncle's house sent someone to look for Shi Wanzhen, but they were chased by Ye Bao'er who was wandering around. She cried for her father and mother and ran back without seeing anyone.

When Shi Wanzhen found out, she complained, "Where did the wild dogs come from? When did our mansion raise these cats and dogs?"

After asking around, she found out that when her niece was a child, An Xia not only kept dogs privately, but also kept a bunch of palace guards privately.

"Mother!" Shi Wanzhen complained bitterly, "Sister Xia uses my money to raise dogs and guards. Why does our Marquis' Mansion need so many guards? It's just a waste of money. What's worse? Give it to me."

The old lady was about to remind her daughter not to say weird things so that Sister Xia wouldn't hear her. Because she just sent Mother Chen over to invite someone.

It turned out to be too late, Shi Anxia had already heard it.

Aunt Li raised the curtain in embarrassment. Shi Anxia smiled and went into the room to greet her, then said, "Little aunt, you said bad things about me behind my back, but I heard it."

Shi Wanzhen blushed and did not dare to look at Shi Anxia, ​​"I, did I say something wrong?"

Shi Anxia was not angry at all, and still smiled warmly, "Of course it was terribly wrong."

She sat upright on the chair and said calmly, "First, the money is mine. Whether I want to raise a dog or a guard, it has nothing to do with my little aunt; second, raising a guard is not a waste." , it’s very useful. For example, little aunt, if you were beaten in the uncle’s house, my guards can help you beat him back.”

Shi Wanzhen suddenly became excited, "You mean, I can also use your guards?"

"Okay!" Shi Anxia's serious expression was not joking at all, "Just give me money!"

Shi Wanzhen fell back in anger, "I want more money!"

Shi Anxia smiled softly, "Little aunt, nothing can be done without money in this world, even if you are my little aunt. But what is mine is mine, and it cannot become yours, don't you think?"
