Those years when I was a tool person

Chai Xun seized Rongying because of the matter of recruiting apprentices on behalf of his master without permission. The master and apprentice played Tai Chi for a while, and finally Rongying promised to attend classes with Cui Qiao in the future.

At daybreak, Rong Ying had to get up from the bed, washed up in a daze, and went downstairs after getting dressed.

There is no way, Chai Xun asked Cui Qiao to get up for training at Yin time every day, and even Rong Ying, who was a little tan, could not be spared.

Cui Qiao was waiting for Rongying outside the Lianchun Building. He didn't sleep all night last night and got up early.

The elders of the Cui family were overjoyed when they learned that their son was the only one in the town who successfully joined Chai Xun's disciples.

He was not even allowed to do farm work in the fields.

Thinking of this, Cui Qiao still felt a little guilty. He didn't tell his parents that he was learning the art of war from Chai Xun.

Cui's father even proposed to sell a hu of grain and send money to Chai Xun, but Cui Qiao stopped him.

He had borrowed money from Rongying before, but Chai Xun didn't charge him tuition fees, and it's still in his hands.

Seeing Rongying walk out of the gate of Lianchun Building, Cui Qiao walked up to meet her.

If you give him a mirror at this time, he will definitely be shocked by the happy expression on his face.

"You... what's wrong with you?"

Cui Qiao approached and saw Rong Ying who was in a daze, and asked, "Why are you out of your mind?"

Rong Ying: "..."

After reacting for a while, Rong Ying patted his face to wake himself up, "It's okay, it's just that I got up too early and I'm a little dazed."

As expected, Cui Qiao said, "Go to bed early at night, don't stay up late."

Rong Ying nodded to show that she understood.

Seeing him yawning with his mouth covered, Cui Qiao glanced at the signboard of Lianchunlou, and couldn't help but say again: "You...be moderate."

Both inside and outside the words are sour.

There are only a lot of girls in the Lianchun Tower, and Rongying looks so haggard, it's hard not to think too much.

Rong Ying looked up at him: "Huh?"

Cui Qiao turned her head uncomfortably: "It's nothing, let's go, the teacher should already be waiting for us."

"Oh."

The two walked one after the other on the deserted street in the early morning. Cui Qiao heard the occasional yawns behind her, and her mind was in a mess.

After walking for a while, he said, "I...I don't need the money you lent me, so I'd better return it to you."

Rong Ying walked with her head down, half-closed her eyes, her mind went blank, she instinctively followed Cui Qiao, stepping forward in his footsteps.

He yawned again: "No hurry, you keep it first, you can use it later, you can pay me back when you have money."

Cui Qiao felt warm in her heart, and always felt that there should be a promise at this time: "Don't worry, I will definitely..."

He turned around suddenly, Rong Ying behind him kept walking, and buried himself in his arms.

There was something blocking it, and it was impossible to move forward. Rong Ying arched forward according to inertia, and then stopped.

Feeling the temperature in her arms that did not belong to her, Cui Qiao froze.

"Jiang, Boss Jiang?"

No one responded.

Slowly lowering his head, his eyes that were constantly shaking due to nervousness rested on the tightly closed eyes of the young man in his arms, and finally calmed down.

"Jiang Wangqiu?"

Cui Qiao called softly, as if she was afraid of alarming something.

Rong Ying's breathing was shallow, his chest rose and fell regularly, and he actually fell asleep.

Cui Qiao was fascinated by watching.

Unexpectedly, he stretched out a hand to touch Rong Ying's eyelashes, feeling the itch from his hand, Cui Qiao felt his heart beat suddenly.

……

Rong Ying fell asleep and was shaken violently by Cui Qiao before waking up.

"Let's go, the teacher will be angry if it's late."

There was nothing wrong with Cui Qiao's voice. Seeing Rong Ying standing up from his arms and rubbing his eyes, he turned around and continued walking.

"You can fall asleep standing up, how late do you sleep at night?"

Rong Ying felt that she was wronged: "The Lianchun Tower is busy with affairs, and there are so many girls to take care of. I just took over, so it will take time to get used to it."

Cui Qiao: "..."

Rong Ying didn't understand why Cui Qiao was so angry suddenly, he rubbed his face, and took a few steps to catch up.

"You will have to get up early every day from now on. Cuijiazhuang is still some distance away from the town. It is not convenient to live at home. It is better to live in the town. There are quite a lot of vacant rooms in the Lianchun Building..."

As Rong Ying spoke, Cui Qiao in front of him suddenly stopped again, and he turned around with an inexplicable expression on his face, half tangled and half excited, but also faintly expectant.

"What do you mean by that?"

Rong Ying reached out to wipe away the physical tears from the corners of her eyes due to yawning: "What I mean is, you can temporarily stay in the Lianchun Building."

Cui Qiao turned around and left after hearing this.

When he reached the corner, he stopped and waited for Rongying to catch up.

"I live there, will it affect your business?"

Rong Ying thought it was funny: "It's the girls who pick up the guests, not me. How could it affect the business if I invite a friend to stay here?"

Cui Qiao didn't know what to think of, he took a breath, his ears turned red.

But fortunately, it was still early in the morning, and the dim light in the morning blocked him for a while, so he would not be seen by others.

The sky was pale, Chai Xun was boxing in the yard, and a hen came out of its nest, looking for food.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Si put down the dustpan in his hand and opened the door.

Rong Ying peeked into the yard with his head exposed, and Cui Qiao passed him and went straight into the yard.

He walked up to Chai Xun and made a bow: "Teacher."

Rong Ying followed suit after entering: "Teacher."

Chai Xun stood still and cast a faint glance at the two of them.

"I thought you were planning to come back at noon."

Rong Ying knew she was wronged, so she quickly bowed her head and apologized.

Chai Xun snorted, "As a warning to others, you, go out and run around the town twice."

Rong Ying who was being targeted opened her eyes wide: "Around the town?"

Chai Xun snorted again: "Could it be that you still want to walk around the yard? Ah Hua walks more than you every day!"

A Hua is the hen sold by Cui Qiao, named after Chai Xun.

Rong Ying looked at A'hua who stopped at two steps, lowered her head and pecked the ground from time to time, and sighed in her heart.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi~

Who would have thought that one day he would be envious of a hen?

Before everyone in the town got up, Rong Ying ran two laps and came back almost leaning on the wall.

Cui Qiao was sitting under the flower vines on one side of the yard, reading a military book, but she kept focusing on Rong Ying from the corner of her eye.

Until Rong Ying sat down next to him, "I'm exhausted!"

Cui Qiao put down the book: "Do you want some water?"

"want."

Cui Qiao stood up, asked Xiao Si to pour a glass of water, and handed it to him.

Chai Xun was lying on the bamboo bed, with a bamboo strip on the small table at hand.

He closed his eyes, crossed his fingers on his abdomen, and moved his right index finger little by little, giving an invisible oppression.

Rong Ying: "..."

After quickly drinking the water, Rong Ying casually took out a book from the pile of books on the ground and began to read.

Seeing this, Cui Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and reached out to wipe away the water stains on Rong Ying's cheeks.

The expressions and movements were natural, and neither of the two parties seemed to notice anything wrong.

Chai Xun had a panoramic view of Cui Qiao's movements, and the fingers that moved regularly paused for a moment, and returned to normal after a while.

The whole morning passed quietly in the book. At first, Chai Xun was still drinking tea and feeding the chickens, but in the end he couldn't sit still, so he went out for a walk with his hands behind his back.

Xiaosi followed closely behind to guard.

There are only two people who are still studying in the yard.

Rong Ying has no interest in the art of war and tends to be distracted.

He rested his chin and looked around, seeing that there was nothing to pass the time, so he simply went to see Cui Qiao who had devoted himself to the art of war.

This look shows that this person is serious and upright.

Rong Ying secretly thought, even those who don't know the trajectory of Cui Qiao's future life development, can be convinced after seeing this scene that this young man must be an indomitable hero in the future.

The sun moved to the middle, and there was no longer any shade under the flower vines, Cui Qiao closed the book, and planned to move the table and stool to another place.

Chai Xun's requirement for him in the first stage was to read through all the books in the study. Time was running out, so he had to hurry up.

As soon as she raised her head, Rong Ying's face suddenly appeared in sight, and the book in Cui Qiao's hand almost frightened away.

When he calmed down, he let out a long breath.

Rong Ying's eyes were closed, and she fell asleep again at some point.

I can really sleep.

Cui Qiao thought to herself.

The wind blew gently, and the flower vines trembled and made a rustling sound. Cui Qiao slowed down to pack things. He looked at Rongying quietly for a while, and then looked up at the sky.

In a small courtyard, the two people inside stood and sat quietly, as if time had stagnated here, solidified into an eternal picture.
