Chapter 17: The mysterious mansion has an owner
The most spacious and mysterious house in Daliushu Village suddenly had an owner.
For a time, the villagers had new melons and they were having a great time eating them.
"My grandfather said that the man who built this house was a general."
"Why would the general come to build a house here?"
"Who knows? Why don't you ask my grandfather?"
"Go! Are you looking for a fight? Your grandfather has been dead for decades..."
…
Little Tangbao was held in Old Man Su's arms, with his little ears perked up, listening to gossip.
The center of the gossip is the people in the carriage that day.
The carriage went straight into the mansion, leaving behind many curious eyes and many speculations.
Little did they know that at this time the capital was in a state of panic and bloodshed.
Overnight, the crown prince was deposed, important officials were demoted, and everyone in the court felt insecure.
The turmoil in the capital has nothing to do with this isolated little mountain village.
People still eat and drink as usual, and spend their free time doing trivial things, and the days pass by like flowing water.

Little Tangbao tilted his little head and looked at the vermilion gate in front of him.
Is she knocking on the door? Or is she knocking on the door?
"Sister, can we go home? I'll get some bird eggs for you..."
Su Liuhu squatted in front of Xiao Tangbao with a look of resentment on his face.
He finally got the chance and took his sister out to play.
As a result, my sister picked a handful of weeds and wanted to feed them to the horses at someone else's house.
He also wanted to see Malaysia, but——
Su Liuhu turned around and looked at the tall gate tower.
I am envious and full of awe at the same time.
At this moment, with a "creak", the door was opened from the inside.
"Little girl, what are you doing..." When Wang Zhong opened the door, he saw Xiao Tangbao standing in front of the door.
Little Tangbao immediately showed a smile that attracted people of all ages.
The voice was soft and sticky: "Uncle, feed the horse."
After saying that, I almost got goosebumps.
Why does this sound so awkward?
So, Xiao Tangbao took a deep breath, as if to mend the fence after the sheep had been lost.
Then he said, "Hey, big horse."
Congratulations, she can finally say three different words at once!
Although, there was a stutter in the middle.
After Xiao Tangbao finished speaking, he raised the small basket in his hand.
There was a handful of tender green grass in the small basket.
Su Liuhu blushed a little when he saw the little bit of grass in his sister's basket.
This little bit of grass is not even enough for a horse to eat. Even if it is an excuse, it is too perfunctory.
Wang Zhong just laughed and said, "Thank you very much, little girl. Come in quickly."
"Yeah." Little Tangbao happily climbed up the stairs with his short legs.
This uncle is such a good man.
You can tell at first glance that he's a kind person.
"Sister, let me hold you." Su Liuhu quickly picked up his sister.
He didn't expect that it would be so easy to enter the mansion.
His eyes suddenly lit up with excitement.
"Brother, no." Little Tangbao struggled and wanted to leave by himself.
There's no way, Su Liuhu is just a child himself.
The holding posture was not standard and she felt uncomfortable.
Wang Zhong saw what Xiao Tangbao meant and said with a smile, "Come, uncle will hold you."
After saying that, he reached out to take the little sugar baby.
Su Liuhu tightened his arms and hugged his sister tightly.
He looked at Wang Zhong warily, as if he were a human trafficker.
His sister can't be given to anyone.
What if you meet a bad guy?
Su Liuhu didn't even think about it, you've already entered someone else's yard.
Is it too late to be afraid that someone is a bad person now?
Xiao Tangbao, however, believes that if there is free labor, it would be a waste not to use it.
So, he stretched out his little arms and asked Wang Zhong to hug him.
Wang Zhong carried little Tangbao straight to the backyard.
Little Tangbao took out a piece of malt sugar from the small pocket in front of his clothes.
"Uncle, sugar."
After saying that, he stuffed it into Wang Zhong's mouth.
If someone hugs us, we should give them some sweetness, right?
Sometimes, sugar-coated bullets are indispensable.
After all, she came to see Honghong from time to time.
Honghong is the name given by little Tangbao to the dark horse.
"What a good boy." Wang Zhong got a candy from Xiao Tangbao and smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
Although, he usually disdains this kind of inferior sugar.
But today, for some reason, I put it in my mouth.
Su Liuhu's face was tense the whole time, and he followed Wang Zhong closely, fearing that Wang Zhong would run away with little Tangbao.
At this time, seeing Xiao Tangbao actually giving Wang Zhongtang to eat, he couldn't help feeling jealous.
Although his sister had good things and shared some with him, he never wanted any of them.
I didn't expect that the person in front of me, who is so old, would still eat his sister's candy.
Those candies were bought by her mother in town specifically for her sister.
Su Liuhu was full of resentment towards Wang Zhong, and he couldn't help but mutter it out loud.
"Humph! You're not ashamed of eating a child's candy."
No one can eat his sister's things!
Wang Zhong moved his ears, pretending not to hear what Su Liuhu said, and just gave instructions to a servant behind him without turning his head.
"Go ask the kitchen to prepare some cakes, melons and fruits and send them to the pavilion in the backyard."
"yes."
The servant agreed respectfully and left quickly.
“Honghong… Honghong…”
When Xiao Tangbao saw the tall black horse, he immediately shouted excitedly.
The big black horse heard Little Tangbao's cry and let out a long cry at Little Tangbao.
That look seemed to be responding to Xiao Tangbao.
Wang Zhong's eyes flashed and he quickened his pace.
But I felt more and more strange in my heart.
Heifeng has always been aloof and difficult to tame, and he won't let anyone get close to him easily.
I didn't expect that he could be so close to a little girl.
He discovered something strange that day.
So, when I saw Xiao Tangbao today, I brought him over without hesitation.
Otherwise, why would he let anyone in so easily?
As soon as the big black horse saw the little sugar baby approaching, he rubbed his head against the little sugar baby affectionately.
Little Tangbao was held in Wang Zhong's arms, who took out some green grass from the small basket that was just enough for Big Black Horse to fill his teeth, and handed it to Big Black Horse's mouth.
"Honghong, eat some grass."
The big black horse didn't mind the lack of grass at all and ate it very docilely.
Wang Zhong was amazed when he saw this.
Is this the Heifeng he knows?
The general spent a lot of effort to tame the Black Wind.
There was a hint of deep thought in Wang Zhong's eyes as he looked at Xiao Tangbao.
At this time, Su Liuhu no longer cared about blaming Wang Zhong.
All my attention is focused on the dark horse.
The look in his eyes when he looked at the dark horse was almost glowing green.
Men of this era loved horses, just as men today love cars.
"Sister, this is Honghong - so tall! So big!" Su Liuhu exclaimed.
After saying that, he reached out and wanted to touch it.
He was about to touch it, but then he pulled back in fear.
But the desire in his eyes was not concealed at all.
So, I plucked up my courage and touched it again.
The big black horse moved suddenly and pawed its hoof.
Even little Tangbao could feel his violent look.
Su Liuhu was so scared that he stepped back and almost fell to the ground.
When Little Tangbao saw it, he patted the big black horse on the head with his little hand and said sweetly, "Honghong, be good!"
The big black horse immediately became docile.
