Tanhualu

In Cold Stone Villa, the owner of the villa lives outside.

Hongyu knelt on the ground paved with bluestone slabs.It was the end of spring, and the climate alternated between warm and cool. The cool air penetrated over the bluestone slabs and invaded her knees. Within a quarter of an hour, her knees were already penetrated by the bone-chilling cold, plus the natural soreness and numbness from kneeling for a long time. Hongyu already feels that the waist down does not belong to her.However, she still straightened her body, pulled her waist extremely tight, faced the door of the owner's bedroom, and pursed her lips tightly.

Finally, under her earnest expectation, the door of the dormitory was opened from the inside.However, the figure that appeared from inside the door was not what Hongyu wanted to see.

"Manager Hong." The visitor stood in front of Hongyu, lowered his head, and called Hongyu.

Hongyu suddenly raised her head, facing this beautiful woman, but her lower limbs felt numb due to her sudden movement.She bit the tip of her tongue fiercely to prevent herself from yelling out in pain, but the painful expression at that moment still did not escape the eyes of the woman in front of her.

The expression on the woman's face was even more playful, and there was even a funny look in her eyes.

Hongyu's eyes narrowed, and she said in a deep voice: "Master Yao, speak up when you have something to say. What are you doing in front of me? I kneel down to the owner!"

The implication is that this officer Yao stood in front of her and took advantage of her.

Yao Peilin chuckled, not feeling that she was an eyesore at all, and said calmly: "Mr. Hong flatters me... However, I am also here to pass on the words of the owner."

Hongyu heard the words, her eyes sparkled: "What did the owner say?"

Yao Peilin was not in a hurry to speak, she just looked at her with a half-smile.

Hongyu immediately became angry, the remorse in her heart and the discomfort in her body exhausted her patience: "Yao Peilin, are you entertaining me!"

Yao Peilin hurriedly smiled and said, "I can't bear the words of Manager Hong! You are the manager of the entire villa, and you have served the owner of the villa since childhood. You are a person under one person and above ten thousand in this villa. I What about it? Relying on the proprietor of the villa, you are just a small manager who manages the affairs of the villa, how dare you entertain you?"

As long as you know!

Hongyu snorted coldly.

Unexpectedly, Yao Peilin followed up and said: "Although I am a soft-spoken person, I have followed the owner for ten years. If the owner hadn't seen me as lonely and pitiful, and redeemed me for my life, I don't know where I am now! So—— "

As she spoke, she said solemnly: "In terms of loyalty to the owner, I am not inferior to you, the red boss, who has a son in this family!"

Hongyu's expression changed drastically, knowing that she was directly pointing out that she was born as a family slave.Hongyu held her breath tightly in her chest, and it was not right to refute her, and she would not be reconciled if she did not refute.

Yao Peilin stared at her face with a smile, not in a hurry or panic, and said nothing.

Just at this moment, the door of the dormitory was opened from the inside again, and a personal maid of the owner walked out quickly, came to the two people who were standing and kneeling, and bowed to salute: "Mr. You go in and talk."

Hongyu's spirit was shaken immediately, she struggled to get up, and suddenly felt a severe numbness in her lower limbs.She staggered and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, the maid who came later supported her with a wink.

With great difficulty, Hongyu stabilized her body, slowed down her legs that were about to lose consciousness, stubbornly pushed the maid away, and walked towards the door of the bedroom step by step.

She took two steps, turned her head and said harshly to Yao Peilin: "I'll argue with you after I meet the owner!"

Yao Peilin burst out laughing: "The Zhuang asked me to pass on this sentence..."

She said, and made a "please" gesture in the direction of the bedroom, "Mr. Hong, please!"

The suffocation that had just been released from Hongyu's chest immediately turned into a mouthful of old blood, which almost spewed out——

The surname is Yao!If it wasn't for the owner of the villa to take care of her, I really want to kill her and hurry up!

After passing through the front hall and coming to the owner's bedroom, Hongyu gritted her teeth, and finally pushed open the door with all her strength.

"The owner! It's all the fault of the subordinates! Please take care of the owner's body. If you want to beat or punish, you can only punish the subordinates!" Hong Yufu knelt down on her knees again, and slammed her head heavily on the ground.

The only answer to her was the sound of flipping papers.

Hongyu raised her head in pain, and looked at the haggard woman on the couch who was leaning on the big pillow.

"Master..." Hongyu's voice choked up.She wanted to say, owner, why are you losing weight again?Why is your face so pale?But she couldn't say it out, and tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

Shi Han felt even more annoyed when he heard her mournful cry. He put aside the accounts in his hand and turned to Hongyu: "I'm not dead yet! Why are you crying?"

Hongyu couldn't stop crying when she heard the word "death".

Shi Han frowned when he saw it, and felt a sudden twitch in his heart.She drooped her head and silently endured the piercing pain at that moment, and took a few quick breaths before recovering.

Seeing her expression, Hongyu knew that the mortal pain was coming again, and immediately dared not make a sound.

Until seeing Shi Han's expression slowed down, Hong Yufang felt that her breathing was normal, as if she had also been suffocated before.

"Go down and invite the doctor..." Hongyu said anxiously, but fearing that Shi Han would be unhappy, she hurriedly added another sentence, "How is it?"

"You don't get mad at me a few times, it's more effective than any doctor!" Shi Han scolded.

Hongyu didn't dare to make a sound, she lowered her eyes in shame.

After a long time, I heard Shi Han say: "Kneel outside and plead guilty?"

Hongyu's voice was like a gnat: "This subordinate is guilty, I only hope to make the owner feel better..."

"You knelt outside, in the shade, caught cold and got sick, and I feel better?"

"Subordinates...subordinates..." Hongyu stumbled for a long while before Fang said, "Subordinates only want to cure the owner of the village! Even Jin Langzhong said that only Monan has that thing, she and Monan The queen is said to have..."

"Shut up!" Shi Han pierced with a sharp gaze, cutting off the second half of Hongyu's words.

"Don't bring up this matter again!" Shi Han said solemnly, "If you still do such things, don't blame me for disregarding the affection of several lifetimes!"

Hongyu gasped, and suddenly said decisively: "Even if the master took my life, the subordinates also want to..."

"No!" Shi Han shouted at her, "Life is a matter of life! If you dare to do that, you will put me in a place of eternal doom!"

"Master, why are you bothering?" Hongyu said anxiously, "Didn't she take good care of you in the past? Could it be that you can't even ask her for such a thing?"

"The past is irretrievable..." Shi Han said calmly.

She let out a breath slowly: "The world is so big, is that the only thing that can save my life? Oh, if that's the case, it's my life, and I can't blame others!"

Hongyu looked at her bitterly.

"In short," Shi Han turned his head, his face solemn, "I'd rather commit suicide than allow you to go any closer! Do you remember?"

Hongyu has served her since she was a child, and knows her stubborn nature best. Seeing that she is getting sick day by day, how can she dare to force her?I had no choice but to endure my sadness and unwillingness to say "yes".

"Reporting to the owner, your medicine is ready." The maid's voice came from outside the door.

Hongyu got up in a hurry, opened the door, took the tray from the maid's hand, walked to Shi Han's couch, and took the medicine bowl: "Master, drink the medicine."

Shi Han looked at her deliberately concealed staggering steps, with pity flashing across his eyes.He twisted his face again to look at the dark brown concoction, showing impatience: "It's a bitter medicine again."

"The good medicine is bitter, owner!" Hongyu carefully brought the medicine bowl in front of her.

Good medicine tastes bitter?Can you have a hard time?

Shi Han laughed at himself, suddenly feeling self-defeating, copied the medicine bowl, and swallowed it in three gulps.

Seeing Hongyu stared blankly for a while.

"You go! What I just said, you need to keep it in your heart and don't disobey it!" Shi Han put down the medicine bowl and urged.

Hongyu was helpless.

Shi Han glanced at her legs again, and said: "Go back and take good care of it. If a girl is tainted with cold, it's not just a joke."

Hongyu was slightly stunned, her eyes sparkling.

Shi Han sighed silently, and said: "The matter of the selection of the younger generation is fully entrusted to you. This matter is related to the fate of the whole family, so you must put up all your energy to check it out for me!"

Hongyu was surprised and said: "The owner means...then where is Yao in charge?"

"You just say that's what I mean, and she will naturally understand."

Hongyu was even more surprised. After thinking for a while, she lowered her voice and said, "Is there something wrong with Yao in charge? Do you want your subordinates to check on her?"

Shi Han stared at his loyal and honest manager, and said for a long time: "She has her own reasons for her existence. You and her, each has its own business. Don't make each other's bad luck, it's good for Hanshi Villa."

These words made Hongyu even more confused.Could it be that, as the owner of the villa, he still has to take care of that woman surnamed Yao?

Xiangning City, market.

Yang Jin stared blankly at the old man in blue who got off the carriage, and walked slowly in front of him.

The old man was about sixty years old, the wrinkles on his face showed his age, but he was well maintained, and the hair under the scarf was mixed with a lot of black hair.Looking at the clothes, he looks like a steward of a wealthy family.

"Brother, are you selling horses?" The old man's voice was the same as before, presumably he was the one in the car who asked the question.

"Yes!" Yang Jin regained his energy when he heard someone finally asked about the horse, "Did the old man buy a horse?"

The old man smiled a little as soon as he opened his mouth, "This horse is not bad! Is the little brother willing to sell it?"

"Ah?" Yang Jin was stunned.

According to her idea, since she came to buy a horse, shouldn't she inquire about the price first and then bargain?What does it mean to be reluctant?

The old man was still smiling, raised his palm and stroked the horse's mane, nodded and said, "It's a pity to sell it!"

He turned his head to look at Yang Jin, and changed the subject: "Brother, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Yang Jin blinked and said calmly, "Yes, money is a little tight."

"So that's how it is," the old man said with a slight smile, "keep this horse and don't sell it. My shop is looking for a clerk! I see that you are clean-looking, brother, and you are a man of righteousness. Come to my shop as a clerk!" My family is an old shop, and I have always treated my employees kindly, and my wages have always been the most generous among my counterparts in this city..."

"Wait!" Yang Jin hurriedly stopped the old man from talking freely.

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at her.

"Old man, I only sell horses, not strength." Yang Jin said.She is in a hurry, how can she have time to work hard to make money?

Moreover, how do you know that I am "duty" and "justice"?

After hearing her finish, the old man still smiled, pointed to the hay trough in front of the horse, and said, "Brother, I cherish this horse very much, right? Otherwise, why would I be willing to feed it oats when my money is tight and I have to sell it again?" Woolen cloth?"

Hearing this, Yang Jin glanced around curiously.She hadn't realized before that the troughs of the mules, horses and livestock sellers next to her were filled with bran.

"Since you don't want to sell it, don't sell it!" the old man advised her.

"I heard that your accent is not from the local area. You are in a hurry, right? But if you sell this horse, what will you do with your feet? Do you walk on your legs? Instead of doing that, you might as well go to my shop and do it. For a month or two, even if you are in a hurry, you will only work for ten days and a half months! At that time, you will save your feet and save money, so why not do it?"

I have to say that what the old man said made Yang Jin very tempted.She is almost at the end of her life now, and she has to rely on her two feet to walk step by step after selling her horse. Who knows how many days it will take?

Seeing that Yang Jin was wavering, the old man said again: "Besides, in half a month, it will be our boss's birthday. Her old man has always been generous, maybe my little brother will get another reward at that time!"

This condition made Yang Jin waver, but she did not lose her guard, and said: "There are so many people on the street, why did the old man take a fancy to me?"

The old man seemed to have expected her to ask this question a long time ago, and said with a calm smile: "This old man has lived to be 61 years old. He has met thousands of people, if not tens of thousands. My young brother's clothes are clean and he speaks politely. It can be seen that he is a son of a good family." He sells horses in the street market, but he treats horses very well. It can be seen that he is a person who values ​​love and righteousness. If he did not encounter extreme difficulties, he would not be willing to sell this horse. The little brother has a faint scent of medicine. If the old man guessed That's right, my brother is probably an apprentice in the Qihuang Sect. Is the old man right?"

The old man did have some discernment. As for the "apprentice in the Qihuang Gate", Yang Jin didn't intend to care about it, so he nodded.

The smile lines on the old man's face deepened, and he said cheerfully: "Coincidentally, the owner of the old man runs the largest herbal medicine shop in the local area. If you don't mind my brother, why don't you come with me?"

Yang Jin thought about it, and seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with it, and she had no other choice. Going to the herbal medicine shop to be a boy for a few days, taking care of food and housing, and saving some money, seemed not bad.So she closed the stall and happily followed the old man away.

But she didn't know that when she was concentrating on closing the stall, the old man avoided to the side and whispered to a follower, saying: "Quickly report to the manager and say 'it's done'!"
