Chapter 136 Carrier Pigeon

A carrier pigeon suddenly stopped on the window sill of the ninth sister. The ninth sister was stunned, but saw the pigeon "cooing" and did not leave. She couldn't help frowning, and the pen in her hand paused for a moment. The painting fan quickly walked to the window and drove the pigeon away.

But after flying around, the pigeon actually stopped in front of the window. There was a small mailbox tied to the pigeon's leg. The painting fan was worried and said, "Sister Jiu, I don't know which pigeon fell into our yard."

The ninth sister put down her pen and looked at the carrier pigeon carefully. The carrier pigeon walked back and forth on the window sill, with a constant cooing sound in her throat, shaking her neck from side to side, and a pair of small eyes looking around shrewdly.

The parrot suddenly flew to Sister Jiu's shoulder and stared at the carrier pigeon. It shook its head and shouted to the carrier pigeon, "Nine has a new pet. Sister Jiu doesn't want it!"

The ninth sister was dumbfounded. The flat-haired beast was actually jealous. The carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and left the window sill. The parrot raised its claws and grabbed its head, looking like a villain, "coward!"

"Sister Jiu, is the letter on the carrier pigeon for you?" The painting fan looked at the frightened carrier pigeon and suddenly had such an idea.

"How can anyone send me a letter with a carrier pigeon? Even if I write letters with cousin Li Yi, it is still sent by Jinxiu and you." The ninth sister waved her head and turned around to go back to the desk to continue practicing calligraphy. Recently, this word has made some progress than before, and she also practiced while the iron was hot.

But before Sister Jiu took a few steps, she heard the sound of wings flapping, and the sound of pigeons cooing became louder and louder.

Did this carrier pigeon really send letters to her?

The ninth sister simply went to the window sill and carefully picked up the carrier pigeon. The carrier pigeon was obviously very domesticated and meekly let the ninth sister catch it at will, with a pair of small eyes constantly moving, which was very cute.

Sister Jiu checked the carrier pigeon first. The carrier pigeon seemed to be much more exciting and stronger than the ordinary carrier pigeon. She checked the letter carrier again and found that the letter carrier was hidden in the feathers of the carrier pigeon. If it hadn't been for the thread on her feet, she wouldn't have found it. However, she looked back and forth several times and found that the place where the carrier pigeon usually used to be a letter box was really hidden in feathers. As long as people who were not familiar with it would never know that it was a carrier pigeon.

This carrier pigeon is definitely not raised by ordinary people.

She actually hesitated and didn't know whether the letter was sent to her or not. Since the pigeon fell in front of her window several times, it should have been given to her, but she really couldn't guess who would use this kind of carrier pigeon to send letters to send letters to her.

"Painting fan, get some millet!" She went to the desk and pulled out the letter paper from the letter box, which was rolled into a small roll, and it was not too big after opening. However, seeing the first line, Sister Jiu had an impulse to throw away the letter.

"Ninth sister really has a new love. She actually gave her grandfather's millet to this ugly thing!" The parrot quit and shouted on the ninth sister's shoulder, but the ninth sister ignored it, so she had to keep her mouth shut. But he put his little head on the side of the letter paper.

"The ugly girl is doing well recently!"

Sister Jiu quickly threw the letter on the table and widened her eyes. This letter was written by Xia Houchen. She really couldn't believe how Xia Houchen sent him a letter with pigeons.

Isn't Xia Houchen at the border gate? That pigeon...

The hovel stared at the carrier pigeon, which turned its head, but a pair of small eyes also stared at the ninth sister.

Sister Jiu took a deep breath, picked up the letter paper and read it again. The letter basically said that Xia Houchen was going back to Beijing to see if his parrot had been fed and lost weight by Sister Jiu. When Sister Jiu finished reading the whole letter, there was nothing else but to say about the parrot. She couldn't help rolling her eyes. Xia Houchen is really too talented and useless. She would not have thought that this pigeon was a carrier pigeon that usually sends secret reports, but Xia Houchen let the carrier pigeon come to her thousands of miles for the flat-haired beast on her shoulder.

Okay, okay, she can never guess what Xia Houchen will do next.

Sister Jiu couldn't help patting the parrot's head. The flat-haired beast seemed to be heavy again recently, and her shoulders were sore to death. "Your master asked you if you were fat or thin!"

The parrot shook its head, as if it didn't know what Sister Jiu meant.

At this time, the painting fan brought millet and water and put them on the table, but the carrier pigeon rushed over like an arrow. As soon as its head went up, it kept pecking rice. Obviously, it was extremely hungry. The parrot stared straight at the carrier pigeon and kept destroying its millet. He turned his head and said, "How can it fly faster than the master? Sister Jiu quickly took it away. It robbed the master's land!"

The painting fan rolled his eyes, "flat-haired beast, you only know how to eat every day, and it's useless!"

The parrot flew up from the ninth sister's shoulder and fell on the shoulder of the painting fan, "Call me master, call me master!"

The painting fan is too lazy to pay attention to the parrot. He hummed and turned his head away.

Sister Jiu touched her chin. Is Xia Houchen coming back? Does cousin Li Yi also know that he has always been friends with Xiahou Chen. Previously, there were rumors that he and Xiahou Chen had the interest of Longyang, but considering their status, appearance and personality, they are indeed a good match.

She spread out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, put it down, and put it on the painting fan. "You send the letter to your cousin, and then ask him to return this flat-haired beast to Xia Houchen."

The painting fan took a look at the parrot, but was a little reluctant, "Sister Jiu, are you really going to send this parrot away?"

"This parrot is not mine, it's just a few years!" In the past three years, with this parrot, even if the ninth sister is in a bad mood, it will be much better. If she tells the truth, she is really reluctant to give up, but after all, it is not her own thing. What reason does she have to leave this parrot behind?

"Please ask Xiahou Shizi to give you this parrot!" The painting fan quickly came up with an idea. Although the parrot often bullied her, she took care of her most of the years, and there would be no emotion.

"I'm not familiar with Xiahou's son at all. How can I accept his gift? Even if I want him to give it to me, there is no reason!" Sister Jiu said lightly that although she was reluctant to give up, she had always thought it was not her own, so she should not take it.

The painting fan only felt a headache. Xiahou's son has fed the parrot for you for three years. What if he didn't give you the parrot? Sister Jiu can't even figure this out, hey...

She took the parrot off her shoulder, and the parrot's eyes turned straight, and she didn't know that the two were talking about sending it away.

"My maidservant will send the letter!" The painting fan blessed the body and looked at the parrot reluctantly.

The corners of Sister Jiu's lips couldn't help raising, "It's not that I'm going to send it away now. It will take a long time for the son of Xiahou to arrive in the capital!" She looked at the letter paper again. According to the distance and time, it may take another month.

The second wife looked at the bracelet and couldn't take her eyes off it. Her fingers gently tapped on the table, and the whole room was filled with this rhythmic sound.

Finally, she said, "Send this bracelet to the Marquis of Anguo, and say that this bracelet is for the prince."

"Didn't the son of Xiahou come back in about a month?" Deng's mother said.

"Yes, there is still a month left, and then it will be handed over to Xiahou Shizi! If the son of Xiahou came back and gave a gift, maybe the prince didn't even look at the bracelet at that time and went straight into the warehouse!"

"I will send someone to send it to you!"

"If you send it in person, we should do it with sincerity. If you see Mrs. An Guohou, please say hello for me. Hello, please inquire about Mrs. An Guohou's thoughts on the daughters of our Xue family. The son of the world is not young, and it's time to continue!" In the end, the second wife couldn't help sighing.

If it hadn't been for the third sister's persistence with Xiahouchen, there would not have been the current situation.

"I know!"

"Don't let the third wife be robbed this time. The fourth sister has also reached the age of marriage. I don't know if Mrs. An Guohou will consider it. If Mrs. Anguo is really interested, I will put the fourth sister in her name. Although she is a common daughter, under my name, this status is not low, and the dowry will be the best prepared.

※※※

Li Yi looked at Sister Jiu's letter and couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, Jiujie didn't care about these things at all. Xia Houchen sent a message that he was going back to Beijing two months ago. Xia Houchen's contribution to this great victory at the border. This time can be said to be a triumphant return to the dynasty. Even the ordinary people knew that the ninth sister did not know it. He really didn't know whether to say that the people around Jiu's side were not good. Even this news could not be heard by Jiu's ears, or that Jiu's sister really didn't pay any attention on what she was not interested in.

He gently flicked the letter paper, looked at the painting fan standing beside him, and couldn't help saying, "Isn't there anyone in your house talking about the return of Xiahou's son back to the court?"

"Young master, yes, slave maidservant and sister Jinxiu, Yao's mother have often talked about it recently, but Sister Jiu seems to have no interest in this matter!"

Li Yi: "..."

Li Yi rubbed his temples. This cousin was really distracted. No wonder Xia Houchen had to use military pigeons to send letters to Sister Jiu. Originally, I thought it was a move, but now it seems that Xia Houchen has foresight.

However, Xia Houchen is his good friend. He thinks that he has this behavior. Obviously, he thinks that Sister Jiu is his cousin, so he should also regard it as his sister!

"Do you have anything to bring me?"

"The ninth sister asked the maidservant to ask if she could send the parrot to you first. Please hand over the parrot to the son of Xiahou!"
