Ye Qing
Chapter 8 (4)
Chills. "
Ye Qing chuckled and said, "It's because the winter here is too cold."
"Will the winter here be colder than outside the pass?"
This remark aroused the curiosity of everyone including Chu Xiu, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.
"It's different, it's different," Ye Qing said with a smile: "The way of being cold is different."
The more you say this, the more people's curiosity will be deepened, and they must force Ye Qing to ask what's different.
Ye Qing had no choice but to explain in detail, from the customs of the frontier to the climate change, everyone listened intently and fascinated.
In the beginning, no one was willing to sit beside Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu didn't care, pretending nothing happened.
Afterwards, one after another, everyone arrived, and there was no place to sit, but reluctantly sat beside Chu Xiu, with his body slightly turned away, half of his back facing Chu Xiu.
Listening to what Ye Qing said to them, Chu Xiu laughed heartlessly.
Not long after, the cook brought the hanging stove to the table, and instead of her usual gloomy expression, she smiled happily.
The room was warm and harmonious, and everyone was drinking and talking around the stove. Although Chu Xiu was selectively ignored and isolated by the people around him, he still smiled.
This kind of environment makes people want to sleep inexplicably, Chu Xiu couldn't help but secretly yawned, and then looked around to see if anyone saw him.
No one paid attention to him, Chu Xiu couldn't tell whether he should be disappointed or thankful in his heart, and would not use this yawn to say that he was disappointed.
However, the room is warm, and the breath lingers on the window paper, blurring the faint sunlight that comes in. The lanterns are lit early in the room, and the candles are brightly lit, which can illuminate the day, but is not dazzling.
The aroma of the stove lingers in the nose, and the smell of wine lingers in the air. It seems that you can get drunk without drinking.
Chu Xiu smiled foolishly.
The author has something to say: Ye Qing sarcastically said: "How good Zhao Yun is to you, you still have such dirty thoughts, coveting his father, and..." Ye Qing couldn't continue, and simply walked away.
☆、Chapter 18
"Everyone!" After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the scene was buzzing with enthusiasm, Ye Qingqing coughed twice, and tapped the wine glass with chopsticks, attracting everyone's attention.
The room slowly became quiet, eyes focused on Ye Qing, holding his breath and waiting for him to speak.
"Today is the [-]th. According to the old customs, it's also the New Year's Eve. It's a joy for everyone to gather together to celebrate the New Year. However, even though there is something bad, you have to say it."
Ye Qing suddenly changed the subject of his words, causing the room to be silent, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Some time ago, something went wrong when I went out to do business. Someone must save Yi Er. Although I don't want to mention it, but today is the [-]th of the new year. Do you really want to wait until the end of the new year to talk about it?"
Someone asked tentatively, "President Qing, what does this mean?"
Ye Qing laughed as if wanting to comfort everyone: "I am doing it for everyone's benefit. Of course, everyone benefited from what happened a while ago. But this mistake was really known by the master, and the monthly payment will be deducted. If it is serious, it will be punished, which is unavoidable."
Some time ago, the Ye family made a barter transaction with Xinzhuang, which was nothing more than exchanging local specialties for northern specialties. Originally, this kind of work should have been done by people like Chu Xiu, Xia Qu, and Shangzhou, but they were temporarily replaced. Although the reward is good, the people who go there are naturally miserable and don't want to go again.
Not to mention the hard work along the way, the climate is also extremely difficult to adapt to, so what could be wrong.
The frontier was bitterly cold, no one wanted to go, and the room fell into an awkward silence. People raised their glasses in unison, hiding their facial expressions.
Chu Xiu was at a loss when he heard it. He hadn't traveled with him for a long time, so he really didn't know what he was talking about, but seeing the expressions of everyone, it was the best choice for him to keep silent.
Ye Qing's tone was relaxed, with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow is thirty, and it's Chinese New Year's Eve. I also know that brothers don't like to go out on missions, but there's nothing I can do about it. There's something wrong with this matter, and it's temporarily suppressed. Someone has to deal with it, right? .
"Are you right? Chu Xiu?" Ye Qing changed the subject and drew everyone's attention to Chu Xiu.
kindness?Chu Xiu looked at Ye Qing blankly.
Geez, how can you be so stupid.Ye Qing scoffed disdainfully in his heart.
"Chu Xiu, you can go on this mission."
Ye Qing didn't bother to play tricks with Chu Xiu, after all Chu Xiu's IQ, tsk tsk.
"But..." Seeing everyone's piercing eyes focused on him, Chu Xiu weakly wanted to decline, "Tomorrow is thirty..."
"Didn't you tell me that you are willing to do everything for your brother?" Ye Qing frowned, and asked impatiently: "It's just a mission? I'll be back in a few days."
"But...but..."
"Didn't you say that everything is for the brother? Didn't you say that everything is about the overall situation?"
Every word was pressed down like a thousand pieces of gold, Chu Xiu opened his mouth and closed it again, and could only remain silent.
The brothers in the room watched this farce, although they didn't understand why, but because they didn't care about themselves, they naturally just watched with cold eyes.
"Then since you have no objection, get up immediately, after all, there is no delay."
After the candidate was decided, laughter and laughter resumed in the room.
All of this had nothing to do with Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu stood up and looked at the room blankly. No one would be less happy because of his departure.
Only Ye Qing stood at the door, glanced at him contemptuously, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you hurry up and set off?"
Chu Xiu remained silent, turned away from the table and went out the door.
There was heavy snow outside the door, and when I stepped down the steps, the snow was already up to my knees.Chu Xiu looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling empty and uncomfortable, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "But... today is the 29th year..."
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year.
He wants...to watch the new year with Ye Qing.
This is the first new year after he met Ye Qing, even if he just watched Ye Qing from a distance, this year is still a happy one.He is also confident that after the new year, there will be a turning point between him and Ye Qing, this is a New Year's wish that he has been thinking about for a long time and wants to solemnly promise.
but...
But ah.
In this way, Chu Xiu was sent out to work alone on New Year's Eve, and the rest of the family gathered together for a lively New Year's Eve dinner.
Chu Xiu went to a remote place, not to mention the hardships along the way, the further north he went, the colder the weather, the inn closed early to thank guests, and no inn opened until the fifth day of the lunar new year.Chu Xiu came out late, he only came out on the [-]th of the new year, so there is no place to live.
Chu Xiu thought about joining Xia Qu in the past, but right now, he only knows the approximate location of Xia Qu, but he doesn't know exactly where Xia Qu is, and where to find him.
Chu Xiu was forced to do nothing along the way, so he had to choose the ruined temple that was caught in the wind to avoid.The north wind was blowing, the dry firewood was weighed down by the heavy snow, and the branches that had been broken off from the branches could not light the fire because of the humidity.Chu Xiu had no choice but to hug himself tightly, wrapped the clothes he brought around him tightly, thinking hard, Ye Qing, it would be great if you could hug me by my side at this time, how warm it would be.
Ye Qing... Ye Qing...
How can he be willing to do so.
Before leaving the door, he could clearly see the contempt in Ye Qing's eyes.How can I deceive myself and others, but I still can't bear to give up this thought.
He is still fantasizing about Ye Qing's transformation, and it is precisely when he clearly realizes this fantasy that he realizes how humble and pitiful he is.
It's a kind of luck for Ye Qing to really stop thinking about it.
Forget it, you don't care anyway, Chu Xiu unconsciously smiled wryly.
How humble, it is because of humbleness that he can't see himself.
After arriving at the place, Chu Xiu thought that he could relieve the fatigue of eating and sleeping for a few days, but he didn't think that even if there was an inn to pick up the guests, he would not accept the guests from the shop. Chu Xiu had no extra money, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to persist in the ruined temple.
However, this was the first time Chu Xiu saw the Ye family. The word Ye family was shining brightly on the golden signboard. Although the plaque was slightly mottled after the wind and rain, it could still see the glory of the past.
Chu Xiu reported his intention, and the janitor hurriedly brought Chu Xiu into the courtyard.
After entering the hospital, not far away was the second gate. The gatekeeper and the steward on duty explained Chu Xiu's intentions. The steward looked Chu Xiu up and down, and Chu Xiu tried his best to lower his posture.
After a while, the steward snorted lightly: "Ask someone to take him in to find Steward Cui. There may be mistakes in what my young master ordered, so what should I do?"
The janitor had to order Chu Xiu to be brought out, and ordered to find a handyman to bring Chu Xiu into the courtyard.
The handyman who picked up Chu Xiu took Chu Xiu through the second door and walked to the steward's hall next to the main house. Even though it was the Chinese New Year period, the Ye family was still deserted and there was no lively scene.The population of the Ye family is not large, and they always come and go with lowered eyebrows, and even if they want to talk on the road, they speak softly. The already inexplicably desolate and empty yard looks even more desolate and lonely.
Passing by the front of the main hall, the handyman Tute told Chu Xiu to follow the rules. Although Chu Xiu complied, he lowered his head and looked around uncontrollably. The plaque of the Chinese painting is high under the eaves of the main house, and the pen walks around the dragon, how spectacular.
Chu Xiu tried his best to contain his emotions, the difference between him and Ye Qing was revealed little by little after all, without showing the slightest sympathy.
After Chu Xiu explained his purpose, Cui Guanshi slapped his forehead and kept exclaiming that it was not good, but it made Chu Xiu feel very sorry, as if he had caused some trouble to others.
Before leaving in the evening, under the entrustment of Manager Cui, Chu Xiu took a lot of things from Ye's house, and naturally there was no way to carry them back. Besides, Manager Cui urged him to go on the road immediately and run back.
Seeing Chu Xiu's perplexed expression, he refused to answer for a long time, Cui Guanshi pondered for a long time, told Chu Xiu to drive the mule back to Xinzhuang, and repeatedly asked him to explain to his young master.
Chu Xiu complied. Luckily, he got this mule. Chu Xiu felt a little happy in his heart. On the way back, he could be with the mule.
Among the things he brought back were things that Ye Qing urgently needed, which was ordered by Steward Cui thousands of times. Thinking of this, Chu Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and when he returned to the manor day and night, the first thing he did was to ask Ye Qing to hand over the task .
Chu Xiu thought in a daze, it seemed that everything had never happened before, the time overlapped repeatedly, and it still stopped at the time when he was intimate with Ye Qing.
When they walked all the way outside Ye Qing's courtyard, Fang saw Ye Qing walking slowly with a dignified face, Chu Xiu ran over excitedly, waved to Ye Qing and said: "Mr. Qing, I'm back from business."
Ye Qing's expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't see Chu Xiu, he said perfunctorily: "I see."
Chu Xiu was a little resentful, and it was an extravagant wish to say a few more words.
Ye Qing brushed past him, drifting away, Chu Xiu's smile froze on his face, he turned his head to look, what should I do.He seemed unable to see the wind and frost he experienced along the way, his frozen purple face, the hard work he had put in, and the grievance he had suffered.
Don't you care, Chu Xiu smiled wryly, because you can ignore it so thoroughly because you don't care.
And the saddest thing is myself, who clearly sees it clearly, but is still unwilling to give up.
The Lantern Festival is full of excitement, with firecrackers and silver flowers, and the sound of firecrackers is deafening.But no one asked Chu Xiu to go there with him, and Chu Xiu didn't bother to go out. If he got a bad nose, it would be even more disappointing. The New Year felt that the gain outweighed the loss.
Hearing the bustling noises outside, which seemed to be coming from far away, Chu Xiu murmured in his heart, you should keep your voices quiet so as not to disturb my sleep.
It's all delusion, whether it's fireworks or firecrackers, it's inevitable that it will reach Chu Xiu's ears.
Chu Xiu tried his best to bury himself in the quilt, and after adjusting a comfortable posture, he didn't want to move anymore. It's better to choose this way, Chu Xiu thought with satisfaction.You don't need to do anything, just lie in bed and think wildly, as if you won't be hurt any more.
The author has something to say: this kind of stupid people should speak out straightforwardly, I'm afraid they will get angry with themselves.
☆、Chapter 19
Since the end of the year, Chu Xiu has never been on a mission outside the villa again. Although the mission is sometimes difficult and requires food and shelter, he will always receive a generous subsidy. beautiful view.
It's just that now, no brother wants to go on missions with Chu Xiu.
Although Ye Qing didn't directly say what happened to Xia Qu, but everyone was thinking in their hearts, how could he, Xia Qu He De, be transferred to the Ye family to take up an unimportant position by Ye Qing's special opinion.
Thinking about it this way, everything is clear in one point, and it is clear in everyone's eyes that they can't tell the truth.
Now that Xia Qu has learned from the past, everyone is afraid to avoid Chu Xiu, and they are afraid that they will end up like Xia Qu. It can't be said that they will never recover, but life will never be easy now.
Besides, who knows when it will come out.
Regardless of offending Ye Qing and other well-known people in the Jianghu, even if he accidentally offended the steward in the village, and the steward occasionally mentioned a few words in front of the master, I am afraid that this person will no longer be in the eyes of the master.For such an irrelevant person as Chu Xiu, it really can't be done. If it wasn't for Xia Qu being a little idiot and always thinking about it, he couldn't see the practice clearly and made such mistakes.
Chu Xiu lost his regular job, and he was asked to fill in any vacancies, and he was being asked to come back to fill the vacancies.During that time, Chu Xiu’s longest job was to follow the watchman on patrol on time. Occasionally, he would be a cameo, but it was Yexiang’s work, and occasionally cameo to other hard work. He was more like a patch, where there was need to be patched.Although it is a bit bitter and tiring, there is always a stench, no matter how careful you are, it is inevitable that there will be contamination.
Chu Xiu took the trouble to wash and keep his body free of peculiar smells. For him, when the watchman or pouring the night incense, they occasionally talk to him with vague tongues and drunken words, which can make him feel more at ease. Just deal with it with a smile, you don't need to think too much, and you don't need to intrigue.
But when the days stabilized, it was not good for Chu Xiu to feel at ease.
That day, Gu Su was pouring tea and water for his master in the courtyard. When he was running, Xin Zhaoyun suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that you and the handyman Ye Qing personally punished grew up together?"
Gu Su never thought that his master would talk to him about such trivial matters, so he was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Yes."
Seeing Jin Mo's disapproving gaze, Xin Zhaoyun ignored it, and continued to ask with a smile: "He must have committed some serious mistake, so that Ye Qing can punish him so favorably."
Gu Su carefully considered what he wanted to say, and said tentatively: "Mr. Qing is an upright person. It must be that Chu Xiu really did something wrong, so Mr. Qing can handle it like this."
"Although it is said that Ye Qing is helping me manage the Zhuangzi, it is still my Zhuangzi after all. Ye Qing is a guest, so there is no reason to say that the guest has been wronged." Xin Zhaoyun looked at Gu Su with a smile and said: "Are you right? .”
Gu Su hurriedly responded: "Of course we can't let Mr. Qing be wronged."
"Always teach Chu Xiu a lesson, let him understand whether the rules in this village are right or not."
The words are so transparent, if you don't understand, you'd be a fool, Gu Su replied loudly: "Master is absolutely right."
"You did a good job last time, and you will definitely not let me down this time."
"I will definitely not disappoint my master!"
Xin Zhaoyun smiled with satisfaction, turned his head and continued talking with Jin Mo, drinking tea and snacks with a smile.
Gu Su stood at the side unconsciously with his head held high, smug.
Since Jin Mo came, Gu Su was ordered to wait outside Xin Zhaoyun's courtyard, and was not allowed to enter the courtyard unless called.Gu Su stood at the entrance of the courtyard against the sun every day in summer, and shivered in the cold in winter, and did not dare to leave without authorization, and did not dare to be distracted to listen to the voices in the courtyard for fear of missing a sound. The master's cry.
This kind of life, Gu Su has had enough and is tired of living, but he still has to live on.This made Gu Su resentful in his heart, but he really had nowhere to vent it, so he simply held a chicken feather as an arrow, always wanting to show off his might if he had nothing to do.
With a ready-made punching bag at hand right now, he would be considered a fool if he didn't vent his anger.
Although Chu Xiu is very timid and can't grasp any clues, this does not prevent him from making use of it.
Gu Su's eyes turned slightly, thinking about it, he went to look for Shang Zhou with a smirk.Recently, Shang Zhou was transferred to be Ye Qing's personal servant, responsible for all of Ye Qing's daily affairs, including pouring Ye Xiang.
"Busy?" Gu Su smiled and greeted Shang Zhou who was busy outside the courtyard.
Shang Zhou raised his head and saw it was Gu Su, and said with a smile, "Why are you so free today?"
"I came to see you today on something."
Looking at Shang Zhou with a puzzled face, Gu Su decided not to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, wrapped his arms around Shang Zhou's shoulders, and whispered.
"I heard that you have been in charge of the daily life of President Qing during this time."
"Yes, it is."
"Tonight, I'm going to get rid of you."
"what's up?"
"You don't have to do anything, just kick the toilet over when placing the night incense."
"Why?" Shang Zhou was shocked and wanted to dodge, but Gu Su grabbed his shoulders and continued to drag him back.
"I just listened to me, but I just wanted to teach Chu Xiu a lesson." Mentioning Chu Xiu, Gu Su was unavoidably depressed, and quickly changed his mind: "I know Mr. Qing is a magnanimous person, and you don't need you all day long." If you stay by your side, even if you take time out to do this at night, you will also have time to catch up on sleep during the day."
Listening to Gu Su's persuasive guidance, Shang Zhou wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but his mind went blank.
"You just need to wait for Chu Xiu to come and send him away. You don't need him to tidy up. The rest is up to me."
"But like this, how will Chu Xiu end up..." Shang Zhou raised his head, looking at Gu Su with flickering eyes.
Gu Su paused, and continued to pat Shang Zhou on the shoulder as if nothing had happened: "It's not a big deal, what can I do if I scold him at most."
"Is that true?"
"Shang Zhou, I consider you a good brother, you won't even help me with this little help."
Looking at Gu Su's sharp eyes, although Shang Zhou didn't want to do this, he dared not speak out, so he had to agree in a low voice.
Gu Su left with a satisfied smile and said, "I'm waiting for good news."
After sending Gu Su away, Shang Zhou clenched his hands into fists, he really didn't know what to do, and in all fairness, he couldn't do anything that would add insult to injury.But to be honest, he couldn't afford to offend Gu Su.
After thinking about it, Shang Zhou is really angry with himself, it's nothing more than being humble, and going against his heart to do things he doesn't want to do, really...
This Yexiang...why was it poured?
Looking at Yexiang flowing all over the floor, Chu Xiu sighed silently, took the cleaning items from the cart, and prepared to clean up first, then took the bucket to find a well, and washed it with some water.
I don't know, I still have time to finish my work before dawn today.Chu Xiu looked at the sky dotted with stars like a black curtain, and sighed again.
Shang Zhou, who was guarding the door, seemed to be scratching in his heart, and he couldn't be comforted. Every little sound outside the door was infinitely amplified and echoed in his ears, tormenting his thoughts.
That being the case, he simply opened the door.
Chu Xiu was startled, looked up and saw him, and smiled softly, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I... I wake up at night."
"Wait a minute, I'll clean it up and you can take it back for use."
Chu Xiu lowered his head, busy cleaning the dirty part of the toilet first.
Shang Zhou's thoughts were spinning all over the place, what he wanted to say was in his voice, but he didn't know how to organize it into a sentence.
"I don't know what's wrong, Yexiang will fall today." Chu Xiu handed the cleaned toilet to Shang Zhou, and said with a smile, "It was a waste of your time."
Shang Zhou swallowed unconsciously, he really couldn't do anything excessive, but...
"If you don't pour out Yexiang from other yards at this hour, I'm afraid it will be too late." Shang Zhou took the toilet and deliberately kept it natural.
"I'll try to hurry up." Chu Xiu smiled nonchalantly: "Go in quickly, it's cold outside, even though it's the New Year's Eve, it's still cold after all."
Shang Zhou pinched the palm of his hand vigorously, and said, "I'll bring two buckets of water from the courtyard to wash and wash, and you don't need to bother."
Chu Xiu smiled gratefully at him: "Then why bother you?"
"It's not a big deal, I woke up on the left and right."
"You'd better go back, be careful that Mr. Qing wakes up at night, so that no one can call you." Chu Xiu smiled kindly.
"President Qing...wouldn't call someone at night." Shang Zhou forced himself to continue: "I'll be fine, you can go and do other things, it's getting late."
Chu Xiu looked at the sky, fearing that his belly would turn pale, so he smiled at Shang Zhou: "Then I will trouble you."
"You're welcome, we're all brothers who grew up."
Looking at Chu Xiu's trusting eyes, Shang Zhou really didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
"Then I'll go first, please."
"Go, don't waste time."
Looking at the back of Chu Xiu going away, Shang Zhou clenched his lower lip. The action of closing the door could obviously be done according to the trend, but he always felt like a thousand pieces of gold, hesitating again and again and couldn't do it in one go.
Shang Zhou, who returned to the bed, tossed and turned sleeplessly, wishing that he would become an invisible person immediately, so that no one could find him.
From the next day, after Shang Zhou brought Ye Qing some face wash, he deliberately walked outside the door to take a look, looking at the dry land, Shang Zhou couldn't tell if the stone had fallen or hung in his heart.
Looking at Ye Qing practicing sword in the courtyard, Shang Zhou gritted his teeth, pretended he didn't see anything, opened the courtyard door, and continued to work.
The smell outside the door that could not be eliminated finally caught Ye Qing's attention, Ye Qing frowned and called Shang Zhou to ask: "What's going on outside the door?"
Shang Zhou faltered and didn't dare to speak out, Ye Qing slapped the table heavily and reprimanded: "Speak up if you have something to say!"
"Yexiang was spilled outside the courtyard yesterday, that's why there is a peculiar smell."
"Who poured Yexiang yesterday? How did you make such a mistake?" Ye Qing frowned, his expression full of impatience.
"Yes...it's Chu Xiu."
As soon as the words fell, Shang Zhou's whole body tensed up, he could clearly feel that Ye Qing fell silent instantly.
"Chu Xiu?" Ye Qing sneered and said, "You have the guts."
Shang Zhou didn't dare to look up, seeing the emotion in Ye Qing's eyes, for fear that Ye Qing would find out that he was lying in trouble.
"How dare you not clean up the mess when you get into trouble, and just walk away, it's really amazing."
When the two were talking, Gu Su, who was guarding outside the courtyard, stepped in and asked with a smile, "Why is Mr. Qing unhappy so early in the morning?"
Ye Qing snorted coldly: "Of course there are things that don't make me happy."
"Before I came in, I saw a pile of dirt outside the courtyard. Oh, the person pouring Yexiang last night was really careless."
Ye Qing sneered, not wanting to talk to him.
Gu Su had no choice but to turn to Shang Zhou and ask, "Who poured Ye Xiang yesterday."
"It's Chu Xiu." Shang Zhou lowered his head.
Gu Su smiled obsequiously at Ye Qing: "Such a trivial matter, why should President Qing be angry, I will naturally take care of it for you."
Ye Qing gave Gu Su a meaningful look, then smiled with his chin twisted: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Mr. Qing's matter is naturally my business, so why bother talking about it."
Gu Su flattered Ye Qingxiao very much.
The author has something to say: Recently, I am pulling out my teeth, and the whole article is being sorted out. I have edited the previous part and added some plots. I will update it again when it is about to end.Chumi, I love you.
☆、Chapter 20
Chu Xiu didn't finish his work until dawn, and returned to the house exhausted. Just when he was sleeping in the dark, he was woken up by the earth-shattering sound of kicking the door.
Chu Xiu opened his eyes and looked blankly at Gu Su in front of him, not knowing why he came.
"I heard you got into trouble?" Gu Su squinted at Chu Xiu contemptuously.
Gu Su really deserves to be by the master's side, how well-informed he is, Chu Xiu thought sarcastically.
"I said Chu Xiu, although we two grew up together, we didn't have much intimacy or intersection, but I really didn't realize that your skin is getting thicker and thicker."
Facing Gu Su's ridicule, although Chu Xiu couldn't sit still, he couldn't understand his reason for coming, so naturally he didn't want to say more.
"Boss Qing left this matter to me, Chu Xiu, I didn't say it, you should show some sincerity to me."
The words are so clear, Gu Su's expression is full of arrogance, just waiting for Chu Xiu to bow his head.
But Chu Xiu didn't want to laugh in a low voice: "What trouble did I get into?"
"Ye Xiang fell to the ground, and you didn't clean it up. If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu didn't play cards in an orderly manner, so Gu Su inevitably panicked, and continued to maintain his arrogance.
Hearing Gu Su's words, Chu Xiu grinned, yes, that's it, he regarded Shang Zhou as someone who could help him, but why should Shang Zhou help him.
"Even if it's my fault, how should I deal with it? It's nothing more than deducting the monthly payment, but now I have no monthly payment, how can I deduct it?"
Seeing Chu Xiu's look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Gu Su became annoyed, and wanted to open his mouth to scold something, rolled his eyes, approached Chu Xiu's face, looked at Chu Xiu intently and smiled, "Chu Xiu, do you believe me?" If you don’t believe me, I can make your life worse than death.”
Chu Xiu smiled indifferently: "So what."
Gu Su couldn't bear the anger in his chest, stood up abruptly, and said in a cold tone: "Chu Xiu, you really make me look down on you."
Chu Xiu didn't seem to notice Gu Su's contempt, what was Gu Su to him?It is only Ye Qing's disdain that makes him mourn.
Even how Gu Su left the house, he didn't know.The whole person lay back on the bed as if exhausted, tossed and turned for a while, Chu Xiu smiled wryly, and could no longer fall asleep.
Since that day, naturally, there have been a group of villains who have fallen into trouble, who seem to have nothing to do, and humiliated Chu Xiu in different ways.
It was just that he felt that Chu Xiu was not easy to rely on and could be bullied. In the past, he was harsh on Chu Xiu's daily diet, and Chu Xiu ate some leftovers.
Later, I was too lazy to give Chu Xiu a meal, so I got some rough rations and asked Chu Xiu to eat by himself.
Faced with what he had encountered, Chu Xiu didn't take it seriously, as if he couldn't feel any pain.
It seemed that he was the only one left in his world, and other people gave him other expressions indifferently except ridicule.
Chu Xiu didn't seem to care anymore, and there was nothing else to care about.
When Qingming is approaching, the master ordered that this year Qingming will be a big deal, in addition to opening the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and leading the people in the village to sweep the grave of the old owner.
For a while, the village was as busy as a pot of porridge, and no one had time to argue with Chu Xiu about these things, so Chu Xiu was also relieved.
Who can he tell, he is actually very afraid of this kind of thing, and he doesn't know how to face it.
On the day of Qingming, I heard that the other young masters had also returned, standing outside the village begging the master to come in and offer incense to the old Zhuangzi, but the guards at the gate did not dare to let them in easily.
The young masters spoke earnestly and troubled the guards at the gate to communicate several times, but the masters all laughed and laughed as if Yan Yan hadn't heard it.
When opening the ancestral hall, he even bluntly stated that he was the only descendant of the Xin family.
The guard at the gate came again to pass the message, saying that all the elders of the clan had come and were waiting outside the village, and wanted to send a message to the master.
Chu Xiu seemed to be able to see the elders in the clan trying to persuade them with earnestness.
The master interrupted the guard with a sneer: "No, I won't listen."
After thinking about it, he continued to scold: "Did I say you are deaf? Did I say before that I am the only master in this village, who allowed you to leave your post without authorization and pass the news on for them?"
The guard at the gate hurriedly knelt down, lost his mind for a moment, he didn't know whether to apologize first, or say something to excuse himself.
Seeing the master losing his composure in front of everyone, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending they didn't see anything or hear anything.
Jin Mo couldn't stand it anymore, took Xin Zhaoyun's arm, and said in a low voice: "Today is Qingming, after all, they are all your father's elders, you should show some respect, why don't you listen to what you heard first."
"I want to give it to you." Xin Zhaoyun's eyes were red with anger, and he sneered: "I want to listen to you, what does it have to do with me!"
Xin Zhaoyun walked away with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only an ear-splitting shout: "Assemble in front of my father's grave!"
Jin Mo frowned, and stood there with his hands behind his back, hesitating for a while.
Looking at the back of their master going away, and looking at Jin Mo's tangled expression, everyone didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Qing snorted coldly, walked around Jin Mo, and strode towards Xin Zhaoyun.Everyone seemed to have a backbone, and they followed out one after another.
When a group of people knelt in front of the old owner's tomb, it was Ye Qing who presided over the overall situation.
Later, Jin Mo stood beside the master with a solemn expression, his robe shivered, and followed the master to kneel down without hesitation, attracting the eyes of everyone behind him.
Chu Xiu could see in a daze that Ye Qing's face turned livid.
After all, the elders in the clan were getting old and couldn't bear it anymore due to their poor health, so they left early, and the rest of the young masters stayed outside the village until dark and refused to leave.
Hearing the news, Xin Zhaoyun simply ordered to light a bonfire, so that everyone who has been working hard all this time can have a good time.
Naturally, everyone in the village had no objection, but Chu Xiu was just thinking about what the little masters outside the village should think when they heard the bustling voice inside the village.
Chu Xiu didn't dare to think about it any further.
During the banquet, there were naturally many people who sent words of praise and gratitude, the master accepted it with a bright smile, Ye Qing sat beside him with a face of silence, the bonfire swaying in the wind could not illuminate the expression on Ye Qing's face.
In Chu Xiu's eyes, in Chu Xiu's thoughts, he was the only one.
Beside Ye Qing, Xin Zhaoyun and Jin Mo were whispering something, the two smiled brightly, suddenly Xin Zhaoyun got annoyed, Jin Mo coaxed in a low voice, Chu Xiu could see it clearly, he was very envious in his heart, master This man almost spoiled his master to heaven, Chu Xiu glanced at Ye Qing's back resentfully, when will you be so kind to me.
Ye Qing, I'm not greedy, just be a little better.Just a little bit.
But ah, a little better is an extravagant wish.
And these are appeals that Ye Qing doesn't know about, and even dismisses.
Winter is over and spring is in full swing.
The winter jasmine flowers in the courtyard were in bloom, looking at the little yellow flowers, Chu Xiu felt much better.
One day, there was a sudden commotion in the village, without Chu Xiu asking, Chu Xiu was able to piece together what happened from the whispers and subtle expressions among others.Naturally, a major event that shocked the whole village happened.
Ye Qing fought with his master's man.
People learned what happened vividly, and Chu Xiu finally knew the name of the master's man.
That man's name is Jin Mo.
No one knows what the cause was, but someone heard Ye Qing yelling at Jin Mo: "If you can't protect him, why can't you quit?"
Someone peeped through the window, and the corners of Jin Mo's lips curled up in the room. Instead of his usual gentle smile, there was a bit of sternness: "Although I can't protect his safety, I can be happy with him. Joy is you." I can’t give it. And Ping An, within a month or so, I will do better than you.”
Ye Qing's eyes turned red with anger, and he flew towards Jin Mo.Jin Mo fought Ye Qing calmly, naturally he was able to handle it with ease.
After some struggles... Ye Qing suffered.
Hearing this, Chu Xiu was stunned. In his heart, Ye Qing was the most omnipotent person in the world, and now he would suffer this kind of harm.
Getting hurt by someone else...but seriously?
Such an arrogant Ye Qing must be very sad to be suppressed in this way.Chu Xiu's heart wrinkled and hurt, as if something was pinching it.
Chu Xiu was worried, took advantage of the darkness, secretly stuffed the only two bottles of wound medicine he could take into his sleeves, and ran to Ye Qing's yard.
The cool evening breeze made the leaves rustle, and Chu Xiu's heart became inexplicably quieter.Such a night is really a dreamlike fairyland on earth.
Chu Xiu didn't see Shang Zhou's figure when he entered the yard. Chu Xiu was curious, but he didn't investigate further. Although he was uneasy, he knocked on the door without any hesitation, and heard Ye Qing's low voice say, "Come in."
Ye Qing chuckled and said, "It's because the winter here is too cold."
"Will the winter here be colder than outside the pass?"
This remark aroused the curiosity of everyone including Chu Xiu, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.
"It's different, it's different," Ye Qing said with a smile: "The way of being cold is different."
The more you say this, the more people's curiosity will be deepened, and they must force Ye Qing to ask what's different.
Ye Qing had no choice but to explain in detail, from the customs of the frontier to the climate change, everyone listened intently and fascinated.
In the beginning, no one was willing to sit beside Chu Xiu, and Chu Xiu didn't care, pretending nothing happened.
Afterwards, one after another, everyone arrived, and there was no place to sit, but reluctantly sat beside Chu Xiu, with his body slightly turned away, half of his back facing Chu Xiu.
Listening to what Ye Qing said to them, Chu Xiu laughed heartlessly.
Not long after, the cook brought the hanging stove to the table, and instead of her usual gloomy expression, she smiled happily.
The room was warm and harmonious, and everyone was drinking and talking around the stove. Although Chu Xiu was selectively ignored and isolated by the people around him, he still smiled.
This kind of environment makes people want to sleep inexplicably, Chu Xiu couldn't help but secretly yawned, and then looked around to see if anyone saw him.
No one paid attention to him, Chu Xiu couldn't tell whether he should be disappointed or thankful in his heart, and would not use this yawn to say that he was disappointed.
However, the room is warm, and the breath lingers on the window paper, blurring the faint sunlight that comes in. The lanterns are lit early in the room, and the candles are brightly lit, which can illuminate the day, but is not dazzling.
The aroma of the stove lingers in the nose, and the smell of wine lingers in the air. It seems that you can get drunk without drinking.
Chu Xiu smiled foolishly.
The author has something to say: Ye Qing sarcastically said: "How good Zhao Yun is to you, you still have such dirty thoughts, coveting his father, and..." Ye Qing couldn't continue, and simply walked away.
☆、Chapter 18
"Everyone!" After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the scene was buzzing with enthusiasm, Ye Qingqing coughed twice, and tapped the wine glass with chopsticks, attracting everyone's attention.
The room slowly became quiet, eyes focused on Ye Qing, holding his breath and waiting for him to speak.
"Today is the [-]th. According to the old customs, it's also the New Year's Eve. It's a joy for everyone to gather together to celebrate the New Year. However, even though there is something bad, you have to say it."
Ye Qing suddenly changed the subject of his words, causing the room to be silent, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Some time ago, something went wrong when I went out to do business. Someone must save Yi Er. Although I don't want to mention it, but today is the [-]th of the new year. Do you really want to wait until the end of the new year to talk about it?"
Someone asked tentatively, "President Qing, what does this mean?"
Ye Qing laughed as if wanting to comfort everyone: "I am doing it for everyone's benefit. Of course, everyone benefited from what happened a while ago. But this mistake was really known by the master, and the monthly payment will be deducted. If it is serious, it will be punished, which is unavoidable."
Some time ago, the Ye family made a barter transaction with Xinzhuang, which was nothing more than exchanging local specialties for northern specialties. Originally, this kind of work should have been done by people like Chu Xiu, Xia Qu, and Shangzhou, but they were temporarily replaced. Although the reward is good, the people who go there are naturally miserable and don't want to go again.
Not to mention the hard work along the way, the climate is also extremely difficult to adapt to, so what could be wrong.
The frontier was bitterly cold, no one wanted to go, and the room fell into an awkward silence. People raised their glasses in unison, hiding their facial expressions.
Chu Xiu was at a loss when he heard it. He hadn't traveled with him for a long time, so he really didn't know what he was talking about, but seeing the expressions of everyone, it was the best choice for him to keep silent.
Ye Qing's tone was relaxed, with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow is thirty, and it's Chinese New Year's Eve. I also know that brothers don't like to go out on missions, but there's nothing I can do about it. There's something wrong with this matter, and it's temporarily suppressed. Someone has to deal with it, right? .
"Are you right? Chu Xiu?" Ye Qing changed the subject and drew everyone's attention to Chu Xiu.
kindness?Chu Xiu looked at Ye Qing blankly.
Geez, how can you be so stupid.Ye Qing scoffed disdainfully in his heart.
"Chu Xiu, you can go on this mission."
Ye Qing didn't bother to play tricks with Chu Xiu, after all Chu Xiu's IQ, tsk tsk.
"But..." Seeing everyone's piercing eyes focused on him, Chu Xiu weakly wanted to decline, "Tomorrow is thirty..."
"Didn't you tell me that you are willing to do everything for your brother?" Ye Qing frowned, and asked impatiently: "It's just a mission? I'll be back in a few days."
"But...but..."
"Didn't you say that everything is for the brother? Didn't you say that everything is about the overall situation?"
Every word was pressed down like a thousand pieces of gold, Chu Xiu opened his mouth and closed it again, and could only remain silent.
The brothers in the room watched this farce, although they didn't understand why, but because they didn't care about themselves, they naturally just watched with cold eyes.
"Then since you have no objection, get up immediately, after all, there is no delay."
After the candidate was decided, laughter and laughter resumed in the room.
All of this had nothing to do with Chu Xiu. Chu Xiu stood up and looked at the room blankly. No one would be less happy because of his departure.
Only Ye Qing stood at the door, glanced at him contemptuously, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you hurry up and set off?"
Chu Xiu remained silent, turned away from the table and went out the door.
There was heavy snow outside the door, and when I stepped down the steps, the snow was already up to my knees.Chu Xiu looked up at the gloomy sky, feeling empty and uncomfortable, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "But... today is the 29th year..."
Tomorrow is Chinese New Year.
He wants...to watch the new year with Ye Qing.
This is the first new year after he met Ye Qing, even if he just watched Ye Qing from a distance, this year is still a happy one.He is also confident that after the new year, there will be a turning point between him and Ye Qing, this is a New Year's wish that he has been thinking about for a long time and wants to solemnly promise.
but...
But ah.
In this way, Chu Xiu was sent out to work alone on New Year's Eve, and the rest of the family gathered together for a lively New Year's Eve dinner.
Chu Xiu went to a remote place, not to mention the hardships along the way, the further north he went, the colder the weather, the inn closed early to thank guests, and no inn opened until the fifth day of the lunar new year.Chu Xiu came out late, he only came out on the [-]th of the new year, so there is no place to live.
Chu Xiu thought about joining Xia Qu in the past, but right now, he only knows the approximate location of Xia Qu, but he doesn't know exactly where Xia Qu is, and where to find him.
Chu Xiu was forced to do nothing along the way, so he had to choose the ruined temple that was caught in the wind to avoid.The north wind was blowing, the dry firewood was weighed down by the heavy snow, and the branches that had been broken off from the branches could not light the fire because of the humidity.Chu Xiu had no choice but to hug himself tightly, wrapped the clothes he brought around him tightly, thinking hard, Ye Qing, it would be great if you could hug me by my side at this time, how warm it would be.
Ye Qing... Ye Qing...
How can he be willing to do so.
Before leaving the door, he could clearly see the contempt in Ye Qing's eyes.How can I deceive myself and others, but I still can't bear to give up this thought.
He is still fantasizing about Ye Qing's transformation, and it is precisely when he clearly realizes this fantasy that he realizes how humble and pitiful he is.
It's a kind of luck for Ye Qing to really stop thinking about it.
Forget it, you don't care anyway, Chu Xiu unconsciously smiled wryly.
How humble, it is because of humbleness that he can't see himself.
After arriving at the place, Chu Xiu thought that he could relieve the fatigue of eating and sleeping for a few days, but he didn't think that even if there was an inn to pick up the guests, he would not accept the guests from the shop. Chu Xiu had no extra money, so he could only grit his teeth and continue to persist in the ruined temple.
However, this was the first time Chu Xiu saw the Ye family. The word Ye family was shining brightly on the golden signboard. Although the plaque was slightly mottled after the wind and rain, it could still see the glory of the past.
Chu Xiu reported his intention, and the janitor hurriedly brought Chu Xiu into the courtyard.
After entering the hospital, not far away was the second gate. The gatekeeper and the steward on duty explained Chu Xiu's intentions. The steward looked Chu Xiu up and down, and Chu Xiu tried his best to lower his posture.
After a while, the steward snorted lightly: "Ask someone to take him in to find Steward Cui. There may be mistakes in what my young master ordered, so what should I do?"
The janitor had to order Chu Xiu to be brought out, and ordered to find a handyman to bring Chu Xiu into the courtyard.
The handyman who picked up Chu Xiu took Chu Xiu through the second door and walked to the steward's hall next to the main house. Even though it was the Chinese New Year period, the Ye family was still deserted and there was no lively scene.The population of the Ye family is not large, and they always come and go with lowered eyebrows, and even if they want to talk on the road, they speak softly. The already inexplicably desolate and empty yard looks even more desolate and lonely.
Passing by the front of the main hall, the handyman Tute told Chu Xiu to follow the rules. Although Chu Xiu complied, he lowered his head and looked around uncontrollably. The plaque of the Chinese painting is high under the eaves of the main house, and the pen walks around the dragon, how spectacular.
Chu Xiu tried his best to contain his emotions, the difference between him and Ye Qing was revealed little by little after all, without showing the slightest sympathy.
After Chu Xiu explained his purpose, Cui Guanshi slapped his forehead and kept exclaiming that it was not good, but it made Chu Xiu feel very sorry, as if he had caused some trouble to others.
Before leaving in the evening, under the entrustment of Manager Cui, Chu Xiu took a lot of things from Ye's house, and naturally there was no way to carry them back. Besides, Manager Cui urged him to go on the road immediately and run back.
Seeing Chu Xiu's perplexed expression, he refused to answer for a long time, Cui Guanshi pondered for a long time, told Chu Xiu to drive the mule back to Xinzhuang, and repeatedly asked him to explain to his young master.
Chu Xiu complied. Luckily, he got this mule. Chu Xiu felt a little happy in his heart. On the way back, he could be with the mule.
Among the things he brought back were things that Ye Qing urgently needed, which was ordered by Steward Cui thousands of times. Thinking of this, Chu Xiu didn't dare to slack off, and when he returned to the manor day and night, the first thing he did was to ask Ye Qing to hand over the task .
Chu Xiu thought in a daze, it seemed that everything had never happened before, the time overlapped repeatedly, and it still stopped at the time when he was intimate with Ye Qing.
When they walked all the way outside Ye Qing's courtyard, Fang saw Ye Qing walking slowly with a dignified face, Chu Xiu ran over excitedly, waved to Ye Qing and said: "Mr. Qing, I'm back from business."
Ye Qing's expression was indifferent, as if he couldn't see Chu Xiu, he said perfunctorily: "I see."
Chu Xiu was a little resentful, and it was an extravagant wish to say a few more words.
Ye Qing brushed past him, drifting away, Chu Xiu's smile froze on his face, he turned his head to look, what should I do.He seemed unable to see the wind and frost he experienced along the way, his frozen purple face, the hard work he had put in, and the grievance he had suffered.
Don't you care, Chu Xiu smiled wryly, because you can ignore it so thoroughly because you don't care.
And the saddest thing is myself, who clearly sees it clearly, but is still unwilling to give up.
The Lantern Festival is full of excitement, with firecrackers and silver flowers, and the sound of firecrackers is deafening.But no one asked Chu Xiu to go there with him, and Chu Xiu didn't bother to go out. If he got a bad nose, it would be even more disappointing. The New Year felt that the gain outweighed the loss.
Hearing the bustling noises outside, which seemed to be coming from far away, Chu Xiu murmured in his heart, you should keep your voices quiet so as not to disturb my sleep.
It's all delusion, whether it's fireworks or firecrackers, it's inevitable that it will reach Chu Xiu's ears.
Chu Xiu tried his best to bury himself in the quilt, and after adjusting a comfortable posture, he didn't want to move anymore. It's better to choose this way, Chu Xiu thought with satisfaction.You don't need to do anything, just lie in bed and think wildly, as if you won't be hurt any more.
The author has something to say: this kind of stupid people should speak out straightforwardly, I'm afraid they will get angry with themselves.
☆、Chapter 19
Since the end of the year, Chu Xiu has never been on a mission outside the villa again. Although the mission is sometimes difficult and requires food and shelter, he will always receive a generous subsidy. beautiful view.
It's just that now, no brother wants to go on missions with Chu Xiu.
Although Ye Qing didn't directly say what happened to Xia Qu, but everyone was thinking in their hearts, how could he, Xia Qu He De, be transferred to the Ye family to take up an unimportant position by Ye Qing's special opinion.
Thinking about it this way, everything is clear in one point, and it is clear in everyone's eyes that they can't tell the truth.
Now that Xia Qu has learned from the past, everyone is afraid to avoid Chu Xiu, and they are afraid that they will end up like Xia Qu. It can't be said that they will never recover, but life will never be easy now.
Besides, who knows when it will come out.
Regardless of offending Ye Qing and other well-known people in the Jianghu, even if he accidentally offended the steward in the village, and the steward occasionally mentioned a few words in front of the master, I am afraid that this person will no longer be in the eyes of the master.For such an irrelevant person as Chu Xiu, it really can't be done. If it wasn't for Xia Qu being a little idiot and always thinking about it, he couldn't see the practice clearly and made such mistakes.
Chu Xiu lost his regular job, and he was asked to fill in any vacancies, and he was being asked to come back to fill the vacancies.During that time, Chu Xiu’s longest job was to follow the watchman on patrol on time. Occasionally, he would be a cameo, but it was Yexiang’s work, and occasionally cameo to other hard work. He was more like a patch, where there was need to be patched.Although it is a bit bitter and tiring, there is always a stench, no matter how careful you are, it is inevitable that there will be contamination.
Chu Xiu took the trouble to wash and keep his body free of peculiar smells. For him, when the watchman or pouring the night incense, they occasionally talk to him with vague tongues and drunken words, which can make him feel more at ease. Just deal with it with a smile, you don't need to think too much, and you don't need to intrigue.
But when the days stabilized, it was not good for Chu Xiu to feel at ease.
That day, Gu Su was pouring tea and water for his master in the courtyard. When he was running, Xin Zhaoyun suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "I heard that you and the handyman Ye Qing personally punished grew up together?"
Gu Su never thought that his master would talk to him about such trivial matters, so he was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "Yes."
Seeing Jin Mo's disapproving gaze, Xin Zhaoyun ignored it, and continued to ask with a smile: "He must have committed some serious mistake, so that Ye Qing can punish him so favorably."
Gu Su carefully considered what he wanted to say, and said tentatively: "Mr. Qing is an upright person. It must be that Chu Xiu really did something wrong, so Mr. Qing can handle it like this."
"Although it is said that Ye Qing is helping me manage the Zhuangzi, it is still my Zhuangzi after all. Ye Qing is a guest, so there is no reason to say that the guest has been wronged." Xin Zhaoyun looked at Gu Su with a smile and said: "Are you right? .”
Gu Su hurriedly responded: "Of course we can't let Mr. Qing be wronged."
"Always teach Chu Xiu a lesson, let him understand whether the rules in this village are right or not."
The words are so transparent, if you don't understand, you'd be a fool, Gu Su replied loudly: "Master is absolutely right."
"You did a good job last time, and you will definitely not let me down this time."
"I will definitely not disappoint my master!"
Xin Zhaoyun smiled with satisfaction, turned his head and continued talking with Jin Mo, drinking tea and snacks with a smile.
Gu Su stood at the side unconsciously with his head held high, smug.
Since Jin Mo came, Gu Su was ordered to wait outside Xin Zhaoyun's courtyard, and was not allowed to enter the courtyard unless called.Gu Su stood at the entrance of the courtyard against the sun every day in summer, and shivered in the cold in winter, and did not dare to leave without authorization, and did not dare to be distracted to listen to the voices in the courtyard for fear of missing a sound. The master's cry.
This kind of life, Gu Su has had enough and is tired of living, but he still has to live on.This made Gu Su resentful in his heart, but he really had nowhere to vent it, so he simply held a chicken feather as an arrow, always wanting to show off his might if he had nothing to do.
With a ready-made punching bag at hand right now, he would be considered a fool if he didn't vent his anger.
Although Chu Xiu is very timid and can't grasp any clues, this does not prevent him from making use of it.
Gu Su's eyes turned slightly, thinking about it, he went to look for Shang Zhou with a smirk.Recently, Shang Zhou was transferred to be Ye Qing's personal servant, responsible for all of Ye Qing's daily affairs, including pouring Ye Xiang.
"Busy?" Gu Su smiled and greeted Shang Zhou who was busy outside the courtyard.
Shang Zhou raised his head and saw it was Gu Su, and said with a smile, "Why are you so free today?"
"I came to see you today on something."
Looking at Shang Zhou with a puzzled face, Gu Su decided not to talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, wrapped his arms around Shang Zhou's shoulders, and whispered.
"I heard that you have been in charge of the daily life of President Qing during this time."
"Yes, it is."
"Tonight, I'm going to get rid of you."
"what's up?"
"You don't have to do anything, just kick the toilet over when placing the night incense."
"Why?" Shang Zhou was shocked and wanted to dodge, but Gu Su grabbed his shoulders and continued to drag him back.
"I just listened to me, but I just wanted to teach Chu Xiu a lesson." Mentioning Chu Xiu, Gu Su was unavoidably depressed, and quickly changed his mind: "I know Mr. Qing is a magnanimous person, and you don't need you all day long." If you stay by your side, even if you take time out to do this at night, you will also have time to catch up on sleep during the day."
Listening to Gu Su's persuasive guidance, Shang Zhou wanted to find an excuse to refuse, but his mind went blank.
"You just need to wait for Chu Xiu to come and send him away. You don't need him to tidy up. The rest is up to me."
"But like this, how will Chu Xiu end up..." Shang Zhou raised his head, looking at Gu Su with flickering eyes.
Gu Su paused, and continued to pat Shang Zhou on the shoulder as if nothing had happened: "It's not a big deal, what can I do if I scold him at most."
"Is that true?"
"Shang Zhou, I consider you a good brother, you won't even help me with this little help."
Looking at Gu Su's sharp eyes, although Shang Zhou didn't want to do this, he dared not speak out, so he had to agree in a low voice.
Gu Su left with a satisfied smile and said, "I'm waiting for good news."
After sending Gu Su away, Shang Zhou clenched his hands into fists, he really didn't know what to do, and in all fairness, he couldn't do anything that would add insult to injury.But to be honest, he couldn't afford to offend Gu Su.
After thinking about it, Shang Zhou is really angry with himself, it's nothing more than being humble, and going against his heart to do things he doesn't want to do, really...
This Yexiang...why was it poured?
Looking at Yexiang flowing all over the floor, Chu Xiu sighed silently, took the cleaning items from the cart, and prepared to clean up first, then took the bucket to find a well, and washed it with some water.
I don't know, I still have time to finish my work before dawn today.Chu Xiu looked at the sky dotted with stars like a black curtain, and sighed again.
Shang Zhou, who was guarding the door, seemed to be scratching in his heart, and he couldn't be comforted. Every little sound outside the door was infinitely amplified and echoed in his ears, tormenting his thoughts.
That being the case, he simply opened the door.
Chu Xiu was startled, looked up and saw him, and smiled softly, "Why haven't you slept yet?"
"I... I wake up at night."
"Wait a minute, I'll clean it up and you can take it back for use."
Chu Xiu lowered his head, busy cleaning the dirty part of the toilet first.
Shang Zhou's thoughts were spinning all over the place, what he wanted to say was in his voice, but he didn't know how to organize it into a sentence.
"I don't know what's wrong, Yexiang will fall today." Chu Xiu handed the cleaned toilet to Shang Zhou, and said with a smile, "It was a waste of your time."
Shang Zhou swallowed unconsciously, he really couldn't do anything excessive, but...
"If you don't pour out Yexiang from other yards at this hour, I'm afraid it will be too late." Shang Zhou took the toilet and deliberately kept it natural.
"I'll try to hurry up." Chu Xiu smiled nonchalantly: "Go in quickly, it's cold outside, even though it's the New Year's Eve, it's still cold after all."
Shang Zhou pinched the palm of his hand vigorously, and said, "I'll bring two buckets of water from the courtyard to wash and wash, and you don't need to bother."
Chu Xiu smiled gratefully at him: "Then why bother you?"
"It's not a big deal, I woke up on the left and right."
"You'd better go back, be careful that Mr. Qing wakes up at night, so that no one can call you." Chu Xiu smiled kindly.
"President Qing...wouldn't call someone at night." Shang Zhou forced himself to continue: "I'll be fine, you can go and do other things, it's getting late."
Chu Xiu looked at the sky, fearing that his belly would turn pale, so he smiled at Shang Zhou: "Then I will trouble you."
"You're welcome, we're all brothers who grew up."
Looking at Chu Xiu's trusting eyes, Shang Zhou really didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
"Then I'll go first, please."
"Go, don't waste time."
Looking at the back of Chu Xiu going away, Shang Zhou clenched his lower lip. The action of closing the door could obviously be done according to the trend, but he always felt like a thousand pieces of gold, hesitating again and again and couldn't do it in one go.
Shang Zhou, who returned to the bed, tossed and turned sleeplessly, wishing that he would become an invisible person immediately, so that no one could find him.
From the next day, after Shang Zhou brought Ye Qing some face wash, he deliberately walked outside the door to take a look, looking at the dry land, Shang Zhou couldn't tell if the stone had fallen or hung in his heart.
Looking at Ye Qing practicing sword in the courtyard, Shang Zhou gritted his teeth, pretended he didn't see anything, opened the courtyard door, and continued to work.
The smell outside the door that could not be eliminated finally caught Ye Qing's attention, Ye Qing frowned and called Shang Zhou to ask: "What's going on outside the door?"
Shang Zhou faltered and didn't dare to speak out, Ye Qing slapped the table heavily and reprimanded: "Speak up if you have something to say!"
"Yexiang was spilled outside the courtyard yesterday, that's why there is a peculiar smell."
"Who poured Yexiang yesterday? How did you make such a mistake?" Ye Qing frowned, his expression full of impatience.
"Yes...it's Chu Xiu."
As soon as the words fell, Shang Zhou's whole body tensed up, he could clearly feel that Ye Qing fell silent instantly.
"Chu Xiu?" Ye Qing sneered and said, "You have the guts."
Shang Zhou didn't dare to look up, seeing the emotion in Ye Qing's eyes, for fear that Ye Qing would find out that he was lying in trouble.
"How dare you not clean up the mess when you get into trouble, and just walk away, it's really amazing."
When the two were talking, Gu Su, who was guarding outside the courtyard, stepped in and asked with a smile, "Why is Mr. Qing unhappy so early in the morning?"
Ye Qing snorted coldly: "Of course there are things that don't make me happy."
"Before I came in, I saw a pile of dirt outside the courtyard. Oh, the person pouring Yexiang last night was really careless."
Ye Qing sneered, not wanting to talk to him.
Gu Su had no choice but to turn to Shang Zhou and ask, "Who poured Ye Xiang yesterday."
"It's Chu Xiu." Shang Zhou lowered his head.
Gu Su smiled obsequiously at Ye Qing: "Such a trivial matter, why should President Qing be angry, I will naturally take care of it for you."
Ye Qing gave Gu Su a meaningful look, then smiled with his chin twisted: "Then I'll have to trouble you."
"Mr. Qing's matter is naturally my business, so why bother talking about it."
Gu Su flattered Ye Qingxiao very much.
The author has something to say: Recently, I am pulling out my teeth, and the whole article is being sorted out. I have edited the previous part and added some plots. I will update it again when it is about to end.Chumi, I love you.
☆、Chapter 20
Chu Xiu didn't finish his work until dawn, and returned to the house exhausted. Just when he was sleeping in the dark, he was woken up by the earth-shattering sound of kicking the door.
Chu Xiu opened his eyes and looked blankly at Gu Su in front of him, not knowing why he came.
"I heard you got into trouble?" Gu Su squinted at Chu Xiu contemptuously.
Gu Su really deserves to be by the master's side, how well-informed he is, Chu Xiu thought sarcastically.
"I said Chu Xiu, although we two grew up together, we didn't have much intimacy or intersection, but I really didn't realize that your skin is getting thicker and thicker."
Facing Gu Su's ridicule, although Chu Xiu couldn't sit still, he couldn't understand his reason for coming, so naturally he didn't want to say more.
"Boss Qing left this matter to me, Chu Xiu, I didn't say it, you should show some sincerity to me."
The words are so clear, Gu Su's expression is full of arrogance, just waiting for Chu Xiu to bow his head.
But Chu Xiu didn't want to laugh in a low voice: "What trouble did I get into?"
"Ye Xiang fell to the ground, and you didn't clean it up. If it's not your fault, then whose fault is it?"
Unexpectedly, Chu Xiu didn't play cards in an orderly manner, so Gu Su inevitably panicked, and continued to maintain his arrogance.
Hearing Gu Su's words, Chu Xiu grinned, yes, that's it, he regarded Shang Zhou as someone who could help him, but why should Shang Zhou help him.
"Even if it's my fault, how should I deal with it? It's nothing more than deducting the monthly payment, but now I have no monthly payment, how can I deduct it?"
Seeing Chu Xiu's look like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, Gu Su became annoyed, and wanted to open his mouth to scold something, rolled his eyes, approached Chu Xiu's face, looked at Chu Xiu intently and smiled, "Chu Xiu, do you believe me?" If you don’t believe me, I can make your life worse than death.”
Chu Xiu smiled indifferently: "So what."
Gu Su couldn't bear the anger in his chest, stood up abruptly, and said in a cold tone: "Chu Xiu, you really make me look down on you."
Chu Xiu didn't seem to notice Gu Su's contempt, what was Gu Su to him?It is only Ye Qing's disdain that makes him mourn.
Even how Gu Su left the house, he didn't know.The whole person lay back on the bed as if exhausted, tossed and turned for a while, Chu Xiu smiled wryly, and could no longer fall asleep.
Since that day, naturally, there have been a group of villains who have fallen into trouble, who seem to have nothing to do, and humiliated Chu Xiu in different ways.
It was just that he felt that Chu Xiu was not easy to rely on and could be bullied. In the past, he was harsh on Chu Xiu's daily diet, and Chu Xiu ate some leftovers.
Later, I was too lazy to give Chu Xiu a meal, so I got some rough rations and asked Chu Xiu to eat by himself.
Faced with what he had encountered, Chu Xiu didn't take it seriously, as if he couldn't feel any pain.
It seemed that he was the only one left in his world, and other people gave him other expressions indifferently except ridicule.
Chu Xiu didn't seem to care anymore, and there was nothing else to care about.
When Qingming is approaching, the master ordered that this year Qingming will be a big deal, in addition to opening the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and leading the people in the village to sweep the grave of the old owner.
For a while, the village was as busy as a pot of porridge, and no one had time to argue with Chu Xiu about these things, so Chu Xiu was also relieved.
Who can he tell, he is actually very afraid of this kind of thing, and he doesn't know how to face it.
On the day of Qingming, I heard that the other young masters had also returned, standing outside the village begging the master to come in and offer incense to the old Zhuangzi, but the guards at the gate did not dare to let them in easily.
The young masters spoke earnestly and troubled the guards at the gate to communicate several times, but the masters all laughed and laughed as if Yan Yan hadn't heard it.
When opening the ancestral hall, he even bluntly stated that he was the only descendant of the Xin family.
The guard at the gate came again to pass the message, saying that all the elders of the clan had come and were waiting outside the village, and wanted to send a message to the master.
Chu Xiu seemed to be able to see the elders in the clan trying to persuade them with earnestness.
The master interrupted the guard with a sneer: "No, I won't listen."
After thinking about it, he continued to scold: "Did I say you are deaf? Did I say before that I am the only master in this village, who allowed you to leave your post without authorization and pass the news on for them?"
The guard at the gate hurriedly knelt down, lost his mind for a moment, he didn't know whether to apologize first, or say something to excuse himself.
Seeing the master losing his composure in front of everyone, everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending they didn't see anything or hear anything.
Jin Mo couldn't stand it anymore, took Xin Zhaoyun's arm, and said in a low voice: "Today is Qingming, after all, they are all your father's elders, you should show some respect, why don't you listen to what you heard first."
"I want to give it to you." Xin Zhaoyun's eyes were red with anger, and he sneered: "I want to listen to you, what does it have to do with me!"
Xin Zhaoyun walked away with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only an ear-splitting shout: "Assemble in front of my father's grave!"
Jin Mo frowned, and stood there with his hands behind his back, hesitating for a while.
Looking at the back of their master going away, and looking at Jin Mo's tangled expression, everyone didn't know what to do for a while.
Ye Qing snorted coldly, walked around Jin Mo, and strode towards Xin Zhaoyun.Everyone seemed to have a backbone, and they followed out one after another.
When a group of people knelt in front of the old owner's tomb, it was Ye Qing who presided over the overall situation.
Later, Jin Mo stood beside the master with a solemn expression, his robe shivered, and followed the master to kneel down without hesitation, attracting the eyes of everyone behind him.
Chu Xiu could see in a daze that Ye Qing's face turned livid.
After all, the elders in the clan were getting old and couldn't bear it anymore due to their poor health, so they left early, and the rest of the young masters stayed outside the village until dark and refused to leave.
Hearing the news, Xin Zhaoyun simply ordered to light a bonfire, so that everyone who has been working hard all this time can have a good time.
Naturally, everyone in the village had no objection, but Chu Xiu was just thinking about what the little masters outside the village should think when they heard the bustling voice inside the village.
Chu Xiu didn't dare to think about it any further.
During the banquet, there were naturally many people who sent words of praise and gratitude, the master accepted it with a bright smile, Ye Qing sat beside him with a face of silence, the bonfire swaying in the wind could not illuminate the expression on Ye Qing's face.
In Chu Xiu's eyes, in Chu Xiu's thoughts, he was the only one.
Beside Ye Qing, Xin Zhaoyun and Jin Mo were whispering something, the two smiled brightly, suddenly Xin Zhaoyun got annoyed, Jin Mo coaxed in a low voice, Chu Xiu could see it clearly, he was very envious in his heart, master This man almost spoiled his master to heaven, Chu Xiu glanced at Ye Qing's back resentfully, when will you be so kind to me.
Ye Qing, I'm not greedy, just be a little better.Just a little bit.
But ah, a little better is an extravagant wish.
And these are appeals that Ye Qing doesn't know about, and even dismisses.
Winter is over and spring is in full swing.
The winter jasmine flowers in the courtyard were in bloom, looking at the little yellow flowers, Chu Xiu felt much better.
One day, there was a sudden commotion in the village, without Chu Xiu asking, Chu Xiu was able to piece together what happened from the whispers and subtle expressions among others.Naturally, a major event that shocked the whole village happened.
Ye Qing fought with his master's man.
People learned what happened vividly, and Chu Xiu finally knew the name of the master's man.
That man's name is Jin Mo.
No one knows what the cause was, but someone heard Ye Qing yelling at Jin Mo: "If you can't protect him, why can't you quit?"
Someone peeped through the window, and the corners of Jin Mo's lips curled up in the room. Instead of his usual gentle smile, there was a bit of sternness: "Although I can't protect his safety, I can be happy with him. Joy is you." I can’t give it. And Ping An, within a month or so, I will do better than you.”
Ye Qing's eyes turned red with anger, and he flew towards Jin Mo.Jin Mo fought Ye Qing calmly, naturally he was able to handle it with ease.
After some struggles... Ye Qing suffered.
Hearing this, Chu Xiu was stunned. In his heart, Ye Qing was the most omnipotent person in the world, and now he would suffer this kind of harm.
Getting hurt by someone else...but seriously?
Such an arrogant Ye Qing must be very sad to be suppressed in this way.Chu Xiu's heart wrinkled and hurt, as if something was pinching it.
Chu Xiu was worried, took advantage of the darkness, secretly stuffed the only two bottles of wound medicine he could take into his sleeves, and ran to Ye Qing's yard.
The cool evening breeze made the leaves rustle, and Chu Xiu's heart became inexplicably quieter.Such a night is really a dreamlike fairyland on earth.
Chu Xiu didn't see Shang Zhou's figure when he entered the yard. Chu Xiu was curious, but he didn't investigate further. Although he was uneasy, he knocked on the door without any hesitation, and heard Ye Qing's low voice say, "Come in."
