My Gentleman Reborn
Chapter 61 Noy
"..." He Yuzhou was silent, after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then you...stay in the room."
Although it was summer, there were many mosquitoes outside, so there was no need for him to suffer. Moreover, he followed him all the time, and even saved him once not long ago. He was considered his benefactor. It was impossible for him to let his benefactor outside the house.
but……
As if thinking of something, He Yuzhou added: "It's fine to stay here, I have to ask for a few things, first, don't kneel to me, I'm not used to it, second, don't call yourself a subordinate, you are not mine Subordinate, just say 'you' and 'me' to me."
Nu Yi nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Thirdly, don't call me Miss. If you want to call me, you should call me Young Master." He smiled wryly.
Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou strangely: "The young lady is the young lady, where is the young master?"
He Yuzhou laughed lowly when he heard the words, the suppressed laughter made people uncomfortable, Nu Yi frowned.
He Yuzhou seemed to think that he had laughed enough, stopped, and said slightly tiredly: "Then call me Xiaozhou."
Nu Yi was startled, and shouted: "How can you call Miss by name!"
miss miss miss!Lu Zhuoxi also always called him Miss, if only she could tell Lu Zhuoxi in time, if only Lu Zhuoxi knew from the beginning that he was a man!
But... He Yuzhou closed his eyes in pain, and said bluntly: "I don't like the title Miss, don't call me Miss, if you call me Miss, please leave."
"..." Nu Yi bowed his head, not daring to say anything more. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then...it belongs to...I...offended...Xiao...Xiaozhou."
He Yuzhou twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then you can stay, and I will clean up the east wing for you."
"No, there's no need...Xiao...Xiaozhou, you are still sick, go and rest, subordinate...I'll just do it myself."
As he said that, the man had an inexplicable blush on his face. This was the first time he called someone's name, and it was his daughter's house.
He Yuzhou didn't care, he thought about what the man said, "That's fine, by the way, what's your name?"
He Yuzhou asked the man in black in front of him. The man was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "It's... I'm Nuyi."
"Slave?" He Yuzhou was surprised: "The surname slave is quite rare."
Nu Yi closed her eyes, and there was an imperceptible pain in her eyes.
The slave surname is not only rare, it almost does not exist. He was originally a slave without a name, and his code name was eleven, but his previous ten companions had all died, so his code name changed directly from eleven to one, and became slave. He also changed masters during the first year, and the current master is friendly, so he gave him a name, perhaps the code name is Yi, and the master took into account that he would get used to the code name, so he took the homophonic name Yi, but this is enough to make him He was happy for a long time.
A name used to be something they didn't dare to ask for, but he didn't expect that he could still have a name in this life.
He can also answer his own unique name when asked for his name.
Therefore, he is very grateful to his current master, and he does his best to work for him. This will be his master for the rest of his life, until he dies.
However, this mission is a bit strange.
This woman is very strange, but shouldn't a maid be sent over to take care of the woman?
He is a secret guard... Is the master worried that someone will harm Xiaozhou?
No matter what, it is their most basic thing not to ask and not to be curious. Since the master gave the order, he will do his best.
He Yuzhou slept in a drowsy state for a few days, during which Mrs. Guan, Zhao Yi, Cong Di, Old Man Qian and Zheng Qi all visited him, but he was so sleepy that he didn't have much impression of it.
In a drowsy state, he was also very worried, without him getting up to cook and take care of the family, what would Qin Huan do at such a young age... He just came out of the grief of his mother's death, so why should he worry about himself again?
With this worry in mind, he woke up on the fifth day.
The body was very tired, he blinked slightly, sat up on the edge of the bed, he was still wearing the clothes from five days ago, no one had touched his body, he was slightly relieved and at the same time felt an imperceptible loss .
If he took this opportunity of being sick, let the villagers realize how good he is as a man?
This way he is unconscious and doesn't find it so difficult to reveal himself to others.
However, it is useless to think too much.
He Yuzhou put his feet down, got out of bed, supported the wall to the gate, and walked out of the yard.
The yard was very quiet, no one was there, Qin Huan was nowhere to be seen, He Yuzhou frowned, just at that moment the half-hidden door was pushed open.
There were the voices of a child and a man.
"Brother, you were so amazing just now!"
"...No." The man's voice sounded shy.
"It's just very powerful, much better than Uncle Zheng Qi!" Qin Huan's voice was cheerful, which was a tone He Yuzhou had never heard before. The child was always very well-behaved in front of him, speaking softly and sensible, and doing things lightly. It's as if I'm afraid of offending him.
He Yuzhou doesn't think he's very serious, at most he doesn't know how to communicate, the child is willing to stay here, and if he is willing to come to him when his mother has an accident, it proves that he likes this place and likes him, but, He Yuzhou I don't understand why the child can't seem to let go in front of him.
Now it's okay in front of the man. He Yuzhou watched the man bring Qin Huan into the door, carrying... a pheasant, a hare and even a deer in his hand.
They went hunting, this man... yes, this man's name is Nu Yi.
"Nui." He Yuzhou called out.
The man turned his head and faced He Yuzhou. He hurriedly put down the prey in his hand, stepped forward, bent his knees slightly as if he wanted to kneel down, then stood up stiffly as if thinking of something, and said, "Little... Xiaozhou, you're awake."
He Yuzhou gave him a friendly smile and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work."
As he said that, he looked at Qin Huan who had been looking at him just now and said, "Qin Huan also worked hard for you to take care of him."
"No." Nu Yi shook his head: "He is very obedient and doesn't work hard at all."
Compared with his previous tasks, this task was much easier.
He Yuzhou smiled, squatted down, and looked at Qin Huan: "Xiao Huan, come, come here, let me have a look."
Qin Huan slowly approached He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou patted his head: "What's the matter? You look aggrieved, did someone bully Xiao Huan?"
Qin Huan's eyes were red: "It's my sister."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and Qin Huan said: "It's agreed, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to go home and sleep. Why didn't my sister come back, so she fell ill when she came back later."
The childish voice revealed reprimands, and He Yuzhou warmed his heart and said, "I made Xiao Huan worry."
Qin Huan pursed his lips, and tugged at He Yuzhou's sleeve with his small hands: "Sister, will you be like your mother... lying on the bed when you are sick and... just... not getting up?"
He Yuzhou was stunned, looking at the child's eyes that were beginning to shed tears, leaned over and hugged him, and comforted him: "No, I'll be fine, I still have to raise Xiaohuan."
"Bringing up?" Qin Huan looked at He Yuzhou ignorantly, and He Yuzhou smiled and nodded his nose: "Yes, it's raising you up, Xiao Huan, would you like me to raise you up and live with me until you can the day of independence."
The child blinked and didn't quite understand, but he did understand living together. He nodded sharply and replied, "Xiao Huan is willing."
He Yuzhou smiled lightly, feeling much better.
"Xiaozhou...you just happened to be together, so go back to the house to rest first, and I'll cook porridge for you."
He Yuzhou got up and looked at Nu Yi curiously. Nu Yi didn't seem to be able to cook porridge. Even though he was thinking so, he didn't ask. He just nodded and replied, "Okay."
"Where is Xiaohuan, would you like to come into the house with me?"
Qin Huai wrinkled his face and shook his head after thinking, "Brother Yi and I are going to help in the kitchen."
"Heh..." He Yuzhou smiled and replied, "Okay, then you guys go."
It seems that Qin Huan likes Nu Yi very much.
It's not okay to sleep after a few days, so He Yuzhou went back to the house and sat for a while, made himself a cup of tea, and wanted to go to the kitchen to see the two of them.
As soon as he approached the kitchen, he heard faint laughter coming from inside, it was Qin Huan alone.
"Hehe... Brother, you are so stupid. This is not how to cook porridge. I will, let me do it."
"...En." He Yuzhou heard Nu Yi's soft reply.
The kitchen of He Yuzhou's house is not too big, but the light is very good. The door is wide open, and you can directly see the situation inside from the outside. So when He Yuzhou saw Nu Yi holding Qin Huan, he lifted him up so that Qin Huan could touch him. Stove, you can reach out to cook porridge.
The child is short and thin, and he seems to be uncomfortable when he is hanging like this. His little face is flushed, but his expression is very serious. Behind him is Nu Yi, who is expressionless and frowns slightly, looking very serious .
Facing a pot of porridge, the appearance of the two of them made He Yuzhou laugh out loud.
Maybe it was because the two of them were engrossed, or maybe it was because the sound of burning firewood and spatula in the kitchen was too loud, so He Yuzhou's laughter was not heard, and He Yuzhou didn't bother him. He sat down in the yard and looked at the two people in the kitchen through the yard. , and occasionally hear their intercom.
"Brother, I seem to be confused!"
"No, the surface is not cooked yet."
"But when I cook it for my mother, if it turns yellow, it means it's burnt, as my mother said."
"..."
He Yuzhou watched Nu Yi's complexion darken, put the child down, and quickly turned the porridge in the pot.
The bottom of the porridge was slightly browned, but it didn't taste mushy yet. The only way Nui could think of was to stir it vigorously, hoping that the surface would be cooked quickly so that it could be cooked.
"Brother, you said we were overcooked, will my sister be angry?"
At this time, Nu Yi had already seen He Yuzhou in the courtyard, he looked at him, He Yuzhou shook his head at him, Nu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "No."
"But my mother said that wasting food will be hated by others, I don't want to be hated by my sister..."
"...He won't hate you." Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou again and replied.
"En." The child suddenly lowered his head, feeling very depressed: "My sister is very talkative, and I have never seen him angry, but... if he gets angry, if he gets angry... don't What should I do?"
Nu Yi was taken aback, and He Yuzhou was also taken aback.
Qin Huan seemed to have thought of something, and his voice trembled with tears: "When my mother was sick, I couldn't get water anywhere...Only my sister could fetch water for me. At that time, I thought my sister was really nice, mother. Something happened to my dear, and my sister was with me, my sister is a good person, my mother is gone, I don’t know where to go, I really want to be with my sister, she is good-looking and a good person.”
"That's why I want to help my sister more, but I can't do anything. I haven't even cooked the porridge. It can be cooked when I was with my mother, and the wild fruit is also there. My sister doesn't eat it. I came from the mountain. I picked it up specially for my sister."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and a few images flashed through his mind. At that time, the child had just lost his mother and regained his energy. He ran out all day. He Yuzhou and Qi Yan thought that he went out to play, and every time he came back, he was dirty. Worrying about him, he did bring back some sour wild fruits every day back then, but at that time there was no shortage of food at home, so He Yuzhou put it aside and seldom ate it...
Unexpectedly, the child picked it specially for him, and he failed the child's wishes.
The child's voice trembled more and more, and the crying became more and more intense: "People in the village say that I am a disaster star, I killed my father when I was born, and my mother died later, and now I am in my sister's house for only a few days. Let my sister fall ill..."
"Brother, am I really a scourge star?"
The childish voice and the childish language made He Yuzhou's heart tremble, he stood up suddenly, and said distressedly: "No."
The child was taken aback, turned around and saw He Yuzhou, took a step back timidly, his eyes were red like a rabbit.
He Yuzhou approached him, he looked at He Yuzhou pitifully, and softly called: "Sister..."
"Sister..." The child began to cry softly.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and patted his head comfortingly. The child cried, "Sister...do you want me soon?"
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and replied, "Why don't you want to?"
"But they said... They said that if I let my sister know that I am a disaster star, I will be abandoned. I don't want to be abandoned, but I don't want my sister to get sick. If I leave me, my sister won't get sick... Wow ..."
The child spoke incoherently and burst into tears, He Yuzhou was stunned, and probably understood what the child meant.
The child whose mother died was already very sensitive, and after being ignored by him for a while, he felt extremely uneasy. Once influenced by other people's gossip, he really thought he was a scourge, afraid of being known by him, afraid of being abandoned by him, That's why he was so cautious about him, and he went to the mountain to pick wild fruits to please himself, but he didn't see the favor of the five-year-old shy child, and ignored his kindness.
His illness made the child suspect that it was his own problem, and he felt that maybe he would not be sick without himself, so he has been restless, sad, and entangled...I don’t want to be left behind or get sick, so I saw him That's why it's so stiff.
He Yuzhou looked at him lovingly, stroked his head, and said apologetically, "Xiao Huan, I neglected you. I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I'm sure that our Xiao Huan is definitely not a scourge star." !"
"Hic." The child hiccupped, looked at He Yuzhou with teary eyes and asked, "Really?"
He Yuzhou smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Yi."
He Yuzhou pulled the child over and made the child face Nu Yi, while he himself looked up at Nu Yi.
Nu Yi was stunned for a moment, being watched by one big and one small, blushing, his eyes drifted and stammered: "Yes...not...it's the scourge star."
He Yuzhou smiled at the child and said, "Right, brother Yi and I won't lie. Xiao Huan is really not a scourge. I get sick because of my poor health. From now on, I promise Xiao Huan that I won't lie to you." Get yourself sick, okay?"
"Is it true that you won't get sick again?" the child asked uncertainly.
He Yuzhou nodded affirmatively, and the child smiled innocently with tears all over his face: "Then let's pull the hook."
Said, stretched out the little finger of the little hand.
He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay, pull the hook."
The child, after all, is only a five-year-old child, cried for a while, got tired, and fell asleep.
The porridge was completely muddled, and Nu Yi blushed again: "I'm sorry, I failed my duty."
"En?" He Yuzhou looked at him suspiciously.
Nu Yi lowered his head and said: "The porridge is not cooked, please punish Xiaozhou."
The words were awkward, and He Yuzhou also heard it awkwardly. He used to not allow men to call him Miss, but to call him Xiaozhou. He used to not allow him to salute him, and he was not allowed to call himself a subordinate. Now he has done all of these, but the concept is He still regarded him as the master, and regarded himself as the subordinate.
He looked at Nu Yi who bowed his head and shoulders in front of him, and sighed: "I once said that you are not my subordinate, do you remember?"
Nu Yi was taken aback, and replied, "I remember."
"That is to allow you to be equal to me, so you don't need to be so respectful to me."
"You, like me, are ordinary people, there is no hierarchy, don't regard me as your master."
Nu Yi was taken aback, and looked at He Yuzhou in astonishment. This was the first time someone told him that he was an ordinary person, and Nu Yi felt rippling in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
He Yuzhou approached the kitchen, which was in a mess.
Nu Yi blushed again, but her complexion was too dark to be seen. He Yuzhou smiled wryly, and couldn't help complaining: "During the few days when I was sick, what did you eat?"
Such cooking skills...
"Grilled... roasted meat."
He Yuzhou raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and Nu Yi replied, "I can make barbecue."
"However, Xiaozhou just woke up, you are suitable for eating." He explained why he proposed to cook porridge.
He Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, feeling warm in his heart, looked at the ingredients at home and said, "I really can't eat too greasy food, so why don't you drink some porridge with me tonight."
As he spoke, he picked up a killed wild pheasant, removed the bones, shredded the meat, cleaned the porridge from the head of the pot, put in rice again, boiled the water on high heat, and put the washed rice in the pot. Pour in the water and boil together, until the water boils, turn to medium heat and simmer slowly. When it is almost done, put the chicken shreds down, and then add some salt.
Soon, the room smelled of porridge, maybe he was hungry, or maybe he smelled the smell and was hungry, Qin Huan woke up, got up from the bed and looked at He Yuzhou without blinking outside the kitchen.
He Yuzhou's heart softened, and he gave him a large bowl. He thought that a five-year-old child would eat too much, but he drank two bowls at once.
Nu Yi also ate a lot. After a pot of porridge was finished, he still couldn't get enough.
He Yuzhou smiled and said: "It seems that I will cook more next time."
Nu Yi blushed, and stammered, explaining: "Perhaps it's because I've been bored with eating barbecue these days that I find the porridge so delicious, so...drink more."
As he spoke, he lowered his head.
He Yuzhou looked at him and shook his head. The man standing alone without speaking was very intimidating, but he seemed shy when he spoke.
Fortunately, he is not a rigid person. After telling him that he is an ordinary person, he really seemed to relax and get along with him normally.
If it was the same as the beginning, He Yuzhou thought, how awkward it would be to get along.
After dinner, Nu Yi scrambled to wash the dishes, and He Yuzhou let him do the work, washed himself and changed clothes, it was getting late.
Qin Huan had already gone to bed, and He Yuzhou sat alone in the yard in a daze.
A few days ago, Qi Yan and Lu Zhuoxi were still sitting here, and they needed him to make tea every night and play chess under the moonlight.
Qi Yan's identity and whereabouts are unknown, but he is cunning, so he doesn't need to worry about it. Although he knows that he doesn't need to worry about it, he still has some concerns in his heart.
Lu Zhuoxi, thinking of Lu Zhuoxi, He Yuzhou sighed deeply, he really didn't know what to do?
That person is still avoiding him now, and he has already gone to the capital, what should he do?Are you chasing after the capital?
The capital is so big, where should I find him?
Uncle An and the members of the Lu family were a little strange about this matter, as if deliberately misleading Lu Zhuoxi's purpose of becoming an official...
He Yuzhou sighed.
"What is Xiaozhou thinking?" Suddenly there was a voice in his ear, He Yuzhou looked over, it was Nu Yi, and Nu Yi blushed slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm busy, I just heard you sigh repeatedly, I'm a little curious. Shouldn't have asked..."
"No." He Yuzhou shook his head: "It's nothing. If you are curious, you will naturally want to ask, but I don't know where to start."
He Yuzhou looked at the moon, the moonlight shone faintly on the courtyard, casting a few shadows of trees on the ground, mottled and mottled, suddenly quiet.
He took a deep breath and said, "Nui, if you deceived a person, and that person wanted to do something he had never thought of because of your deception, would you tell this person the truth?"
Nu Yi was silent for a while, then he shook his head and said, "Nu Yi has never deceived anyone, so I don't know."
"Never deceived anyone before?" He Yuzhou looked at Nu Yi in astonishment, and Nu Yi nodded slightly: "As a subordinate, it is a crime to deceive the master, and Nu Yi will not commit it."
He Yuzhou chuckled: "Then you are really transparent."
"I should tell him the truth." He Yuzhou said to himself, "However, he didn't see me, and he has already left this place."
"Xiaozhou...are you talking about the young master of the Lu family?" Nu Yi asked.
He Yuzhou looked at him in surprise, and Nu Yi explained: "I brought you back from Lu Mansion that day. Uncle An also came to see you in the past few days when you were in a coma, and heard some things in those few days, so I know Young Master Lu."
He Yuzhou understood it, and then he was a little surprised: "Uncle An has been here?"
Nu Yi said: "Come here, he asked me to tell Xiaozhou that Young Master Lu is fine, there is a wife here, I hope you can look away, and when Young Master Lu becomes famous, Xiaozhou, you can see him."
"..." He Yuzhou was silent, not understanding what Uncle An meant, or what Lu Mansion meant.
"Xiaozhou... are you very confused?" Nu Yi asked.
He Yuzhou turned his head: "I don't understand. Young Master Lu once told me that he never wanted to be an official in his life, and he is not in good health. Being an official is not a good choice."
Nu Yi was silent, bowed her head and said, "I've been here for a few days, and I've heard a lot about the Lu Mansion."
"kindness?"
"I think Xiaozhou really needn't worry."
"?" He Yuzhou looked at him suspiciously.
Nu Yi said: "The Lu family used to be a scholarly family, and there is always a need for someone to make Guangzong shine, and Lu Zhuoxi is the best candidate."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and Nu Yi said: "Although Lu Zhuoxi has never thought about becoming an official, it doesn't mean that his family members haven't thought about it. When I say that, Xiaozhou understands?"
"You mean, people in the Lu family want Young Master Lu to become an official, so that he can honor his ancestors?"
As he said that, he shook his head self-consciously: "But his body is so weak, unless the people of the Lu family want him to die from overwork, they can't agree to him..."
"Xiaozhou is worried. Young Master Lu has been able to support himself since he became ill at the age of eight. Maybe his body is not as bad as you think. Moreover, the Lu family now has some family background. There are countless famous doctors in the capital. It's uncertain. Which one will heal Young Master Lu? Nu Yi believes that it is a good choice for Young Master Lu to go to the capital. He can see more and see farther, and his body has more possibilities to be cured. Furthermore, his talent It will not be submerged."
"..." He Yuzhou always felt that it was not the shy Nu Yi who was talking to him now, but... the personable and unrestrained Qi Yan.
That tone is too similar.
He looked at Nu Yi suspiciously, being looked at like this, Nu Yi touched his face a little uncomfortably, his cheeks blushed, and he stammered and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"No..." He Yuzhou shook his head and looked away. How could it be Qi Yan who was shy and shy? Qi Yan's face was as thick as a wall. He had never seen him blush before. He was crazy to think that this slave Yi looks like Qi Yan.
Laughing, he drank the tea in his hand and said: "It's late at night, I'm going to rest, and you should go to rest early."
"En." Nu Yi nodded slightly and said: "By the way, Xiaozhou, I put some clothes in the closet in that room, probably belong to Master Lu?"
His master probably wouldn't wear such small clothes, and He Yuzhou's figure was not as big as that of the East Wing. After thinking about it, he could only belong to Young Master Lu.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, then closed his eyes a little dazedly: "Let it stay in the cabinet."
That day, Lu Zhuoxi left in a hurry and took nothing away, including the wheelchair, which is still left in the side room next to the east wing.
He didn't even want the chair anymore.
But I have received so much care from him for no reason.
Tomorrow, return the silver and those boxes of things owed.
The next day, He Yuzhou actually returned Lu Zhuoxi's 50 taels of silver used to build the house and the gift from him when he moved to a new house.
When Zhao Yizai went to the town, he still felt that his trip was inappropriate, but He Yuzhou made up his mind.
If he really accepted this help, it would give him hope just as Lu Zhuoxi said.
Even if he doesn't believe that he is a man, he should stop expecting him. After all, they are brothers. When we meet next time, if he is still willing to come to see him, he will tell him everything...
I only hope that his trip to the capital will be safe and unhindered.
Surprisingly, Uncle An did not refuse this time, but took it back with a smile.
He Yuzhou didn't bother to care what he was thinking, what the Lu family was thinking, returned the things and returned to the village.
Except for the house and the fields, he really has nothing at this time.
The field was so dry at this time that no good things could be grown, but it had to be planted. Widow Qin had planted potatoes in that field. Potatoes are drought-tolerant crops. Widow Qin did not choose wrongly. The field was too dry, and more than half of the potatoes planted were necrotic. He Yuzhou and Nu Yi worked together to remove the necrotic crops in the field and replant some. It took four or five days to finish the work.
After finishing his work in the field, He Yuzhou wanted to find something to supplement his family's expenses.
Now, he is no longer alone, he has to take care of Qin Huan, he can no longer just muddle through like in the past, he has to plan his future life well.
As for the confrontation that Qi Yan said, as he said, he was escaping, but so what?
I have escaped, what else can I do now?He can only take one step at a time.
In addition to him, there is Qin Huan in the family, and he has more worries, let alone being able to do whatever he wants.
It's okay for Qin Huan to be young now. When he grows up, he will be sent to school and bought pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books for him. These are extremely expensive in this era, so first of all, he must have a source of money.
The teahouse... the original thought came to my mind again.
He Yuzhou went home and looked at his silver taels, and there were only 18 taels left, so it was a bit reluctant to build a teahouse.
However, his eyes flashed, and he remembered a kind of house—a bamboo house.
When he built his house, it was located in a remote area, and the land was not for sale alone, so it was included in the bamboo forest. Now, these bamboos just came in handy for him.
The bamboo house has been built, with its unique flavor and unique elegance, which is more suitable for a tea house.
Most importantly, he can save money on building materials.
Just get someone to build it.
Building a bamboo house is also simpler and less time-consuming than building an earthen house.
He told this matter to his family members, including the little Qin Huan. Qin Huan listened ignorantly, only thought that bamboo house was a very novel word, and was full of curiosity about it.
Nu Yi seemed to obey He Yuzhou's orders in everything. When He Yuzhou saw this, he decided to build a bamboo house.
The land for the bamboo house has also been selected. It is next to the field. This field also belongs to He Yuzhou, so he can use it for anything. His field is near the periphery of the village and close to the driveway. It is the most suitable place to build a wooden house here.
The next day, He Yuzhou planned to go to Zhao Yishu with the money in his pocket, and asked the original group of people to help build the bamboo house.
Nu Yi, who had no objection at all, stopped him.
"Xiaozhou, it's drought and there are a lot of refugees. The imperial court advocates that the people use refugees as helpers. The money can be less, and they can also help some refugees. I think Xiaozhou might as well let me go to the county government to bring some refugee helpers back. ?”
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and looked at him suspiciously: "|Why haven't I heard this news?"
Besides, didn't this person have no opinion yesterday?
"..." Nu Yi blinked, and replied with a little evasive gaze: "I only heard about it today. Now that refugees are flooding into major counties and beggars are increasing, the higher-ups only ordered the government to take in the refugees a few days ago. Those with healthy limbs will be left as helpers. If anyone needs it, they can go to the government to register for use. The refugees can keep the money they get. Those who are not in good health can be sold as slaves or stay in the government according to their own wishes. Doing miscellaneous work and sending them to the homes of the rich and powerful as servants can be regarded as preventing refugees from wandering around and doing evil to a certain extent."
He Yuzhou was a little surprised when he heard the words: "There are a lot of capable people in this court, and they can't figure out this method."
Nu Yi smiled, with a hint of pride on his face.
He Yuzhou thought for a while, handed the purse to Nu Yi and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Nu Yi took the silver, nodded, and walked to the side.
Nu Yi brought back three men, all strong but dressed in shabby clothes. When He Yuzhou told them what kind of house to build, they each took their tools to chop bamboo.
The money is only [-] Wen a day, which is half cheaper than before. They only have one request, they must have enough food and a place to sleep during the few days they are working.
He Yuzhou vacated the east wing room for the three of them to sleep in. Since there was only one bed in the east wing room, He Yuzhou made two floor bunks for them, and Nu Yi followed Qin Huan to sleep in the main room, where Qi Yan used to live.
Before letting them move in, He Yuzhou went to put away Qi Yan's things, packed them in a box and put them in the closet. He might come back anytime.
He Yuzhou thought.
The three strong men have a lot of food. They can eat almost all the food He Yuzhou cooks for them every day. They can eat and be able to do it at the same time. It took two days to finish chopping bamboo, and they went to He Yuzhou on the third day. Point to the place and start digging.
The bamboo house that He Yuzhou wanted to build was not big, so Nu Yi didn't bring many people back.
The bamboo house was first supported by bamboo on the ground, a short distance from the ground, and a ladder was used to connect the bamboo house above the ground.
It started with a long bamboo corridor. Bamboo chairs and bamboo tables were placed on one side of the bamboo corridor. It is also unique to drink tea while watching the rural scenery by leaning on the bamboo railing.
The bamboo corridor circles the bamboo house, with a table and two chairs placed on each side. These places are basically for the guests who come to drink tea in winter to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery. Two large windows are opened inside the bamboo house, and the light shines from the outside. Going in, the lighting is very good, there are tables at intervals inside, and a counter near the door, where He Yuzhou usually makes and sells tea.
There is also a small room prepared behind the counter, to prepare some materials for He Yuzhou, or get some other things.
It took six days to build the bamboo house, and He Yuzhou gave them an extra day's money to help build more tables and chairs.
This time the wages were halved, and the building materials did not cost money. He Yuzhou saved a lot of money, and even had money on hand to buy some materials.
Although the teahouse is a teahouse, it still sells some other things.
This time he built a bamboo house to open a teahouse. Except for the people who lived in his house, he didn’t tell Mrs. Zhao Yishu and Mrs. Guan, so when he saw the bamboo house, he was a little surprised, but He Yuzhou didn’t intend to explain. There are two days before the bamboo house will open. Yes, at that time he will invite Aunt Guan and Uncle Zhao to come and celebrate.
Thanks for taking care of him all the time.
This time, he had to manage the teahouse well by himself, and he absolutely couldn't bother Zhao Yi and Aunt Guan anymore.
Qin Huan is still waiting for him to raise him, he must make himself stronger.
Before the opening of the teahouse, He Yuzhou and Nu Yi took Xiao Qin Huan to call Zheng Qi and went up the mountain.
He Yuzhou's purpose is to find lemon, which is the mother fruit in this world, and he wants to make fruit tea a major feature of the teahouse.
Moreover, there are many fruit teas, not just lemon black tea.
He has to work out a suitable menu for these two days, including tea and snacks.
This time going up the mountain with Nu Yi and the others, He Yuzhou finally knew why Qin Huan liked Nu Yi so much.
Because Qin Huan was still young, Nu Yi hugged him all the way up the mountain. Sometimes he would hug him, and sometimes Qin Huan would sit on his shoulder and grab his hair.
Qin Huan seemed to like this very much, giggling in Nu Yi's arms, and, Nu Yi is indeed as powerful as Qin Huan said, he does not need a bow and arrow to hunt, just the long sword in his hand, the sword flower, can kill the prey In the stabbing, not only Qin Huan, but also Zheng Qi saw Nu Yi's expressions differently.
Perhaps it was the hunting technique that conquered the big and the small, He Yuzhou laughed.
At noon, staying in the forest, He Yuzhou finally got a taste of Nu Yi's cooking, which was surprisingly delicious. He looked at Nu Yi in surprise, and Nu Yi pursed his lips in embarrassment and said, "Actually, I only know how to roast meat. "
Many missions required overnight stays in the field, and it was inconvenient to bring dry food, so they practiced the skill of barbecue.
He Yuzhou tasted the barbecue, his eyes lit up when he saw Nu Yi and Zheng Orion.
This Zheng Orion's barbecue is also a must, which is not inferior to Nu Yi's. If these two people can sell the barbecue in the teahouse... maybe they can sell it for a good price.
Just do it when you think about it, He Yuzhou took this opportunity to talk about his idea, Nu Yi repeatedly agreed without any hesitation, but Zheng Qi shook his head slightly when he heard it, he wanted to hunt and support his family, and he didn't know if he could make money selling barbecue. , he can't take the risk.
He Yuzhou didn't force it either, but just said: "If you want to sell barbecue someday, you can come to my place, and I will accept your barbecue unconditionally."
Zheng Qi agreed.
Although it was summer, there were many mosquitoes outside, so there was no need for him to suffer. Moreover, he followed him all the time, and even saved him once not long ago. He was considered his benefactor. It was impossible for him to let his benefactor outside the house.
but……
As if thinking of something, He Yuzhou added: "It's fine to stay here, I have to ask for a few things, first, don't kneel to me, I'm not used to it, second, don't call yourself a subordinate, you are not mine Subordinate, just say 'you' and 'me' to me."
Nu Yi nodded and replied, "Yes."
"Thirdly, don't call me Miss. If you want to call me, you should call me Young Master." He smiled wryly.
Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou strangely: "The young lady is the young lady, where is the young master?"
He Yuzhou laughed lowly when he heard the words, the suppressed laughter made people uncomfortable, Nu Yi frowned.
He Yuzhou seemed to think that he had laughed enough, stopped, and said slightly tiredly: "Then call me Xiaozhou."
Nu Yi was startled, and shouted: "How can you call Miss by name!"
miss miss miss!Lu Zhuoxi also always called him Miss, if only she could tell Lu Zhuoxi in time, if only Lu Zhuoxi knew from the beginning that he was a man!
But... He Yuzhou closed his eyes in pain, and said bluntly: "I don't like the title Miss, don't call me Miss, if you call me Miss, please leave."
"..." Nu Yi bowed his head, not daring to say anything more. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then...it belongs to...I...offended...Xiao...Xiaozhou."
He Yuzhou twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "Then you can stay, and I will clean up the east wing for you."
"No, there's no need...Xiao...Xiaozhou, you are still sick, go and rest, subordinate...I'll just do it myself."
As he said that, the man had an inexplicable blush on his face. This was the first time he called someone's name, and it was his daughter's house.
He Yuzhou didn't care, he thought about what the man said, "That's fine, by the way, what's your name?"
He Yuzhou asked the man in black in front of him. The man was taken aback for a moment, and replied, "It's... I'm Nuyi."
"Slave?" He Yuzhou was surprised: "The surname slave is quite rare."
Nu Yi closed her eyes, and there was an imperceptible pain in her eyes.
The slave surname is not only rare, it almost does not exist. He was originally a slave without a name, and his code name was eleven, but his previous ten companions had all died, so his code name changed directly from eleven to one, and became slave. He also changed masters during the first year, and the current master is friendly, so he gave him a name, perhaps the code name is Yi, and the master took into account that he would get used to the code name, so he took the homophonic name Yi, but this is enough to make him He was happy for a long time.
A name used to be something they didn't dare to ask for, but he didn't expect that he could still have a name in this life.
He can also answer his own unique name when asked for his name.
Therefore, he is very grateful to his current master, and he does his best to work for him. This will be his master for the rest of his life, until he dies.
However, this mission is a bit strange.
This woman is very strange, but shouldn't a maid be sent over to take care of the woman?
He is a secret guard... Is the master worried that someone will harm Xiaozhou?
No matter what, it is their most basic thing not to ask and not to be curious. Since the master gave the order, he will do his best.
He Yuzhou slept in a drowsy state for a few days, during which Mrs. Guan, Zhao Yi, Cong Di, Old Man Qian and Zheng Qi all visited him, but he was so sleepy that he didn't have much impression of it.
In a drowsy state, he was also very worried, without him getting up to cook and take care of the family, what would Qin Huan do at such a young age... He just came out of the grief of his mother's death, so why should he worry about himself again?
With this worry in mind, he woke up on the fifth day.
The body was very tired, he blinked slightly, sat up on the edge of the bed, he was still wearing the clothes from five days ago, no one had touched his body, he was slightly relieved and at the same time felt an imperceptible loss .
If he took this opportunity of being sick, let the villagers realize how good he is as a man?
This way he is unconscious and doesn't find it so difficult to reveal himself to others.
However, it is useless to think too much.
He Yuzhou put his feet down, got out of bed, supported the wall to the gate, and walked out of the yard.
The yard was very quiet, no one was there, Qin Huan was nowhere to be seen, He Yuzhou frowned, just at that moment the half-hidden door was pushed open.
There were the voices of a child and a man.
"Brother, you were so amazing just now!"
"...No." The man's voice sounded shy.
"It's just very powerful, much better than Uncle Zheng Qi!" Qin Huan's voice was cheerful, which was a tone He Yuzhou had never heard before. The child was always very well-behaved in front of him, speaking softly and sensible, and doing things lightly. It's as if I'm afraid of offending him.
He Yuzhou doesn't think he's very serious, at most he doesn't know how to communicate, the child is willing to stay here, and if he is willing to come to him when his mother has an accident, it proves that he likes this place and likes him, but, He Yuzhou I don't understand why the child can't seem to let go in front of him.
Now it's okay in front of the man. He Yuzhou watched the man bring Qin Huan into the door, carrying... a pheasant, a hare and even a deer in his hand.
They went hunting, this man... yes, this man's name is Nu Yi.
"Nui." He Yuzhou called out.
The man turned his head and faced He Yuzhou. He hurriedly put down the prey in his hand, stepped forward, bent his knees slightly as if he wanted to kneel down, then stood up stiffly as if thinking of something, and said, "Little... Xiaozhou, you're awake."
He Yuzhou gave him a friendly smile and said, "Well, thank you for your hard work."
As he said that, he looked at Qin Huan who had been looking at him just now and said, "Qin Huan also worked hard for you to take care of him."
"No." Nu Yi shook his head: "He is very obedient and doesn't work hard at all."
Compared with his previous tasks, this task was much easier.
He Yuzhou smiled, squatted down, and looked at Qin Huan: "Xiao Huan, come, come here, let me have a look."
Qin Huan slowly approached He Yuzhou, and He Yuzhou patted his head: "What's the matter? You look aggrieved, did someone bully Xiao Huan?"
Qin Huan's eyes were red: "It's my sister."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and Qin Huan said: "It's agreed, if you feel uncomfortable, you have to go home and sleep. Why didn't my sister come back, so she fell ill when she came back later."
The childish voice revealed reprimands, and He Yuzhou warmed his heart and said, "I made Xiao Huan worry."
Qin Huan pursed his lips, and tugged at He Yuzhou's sleeve with his small hands: "Sister, will you be like your mother... lying on the bed when you are sick and... just... not getting up?"
He Yuzhou was stunned, looking at the child's eyes that were beginning to shed tears, leaned over and hugged him, and comforted him: "No, I'll be fine, I still have to raise Xiaohuan."
"Bringing up?" Qin Huan looked at He Yuzhou ignorantly, and He Yuzhou smiled and nodded his nose: "Yes, it's raising you up, Xiao Huan, would you like me to raise you up and live with me until you can the day of independence."
The child blinked and didn't quite understand, but he did understand living together. He nodded sharply and replied, "Xiao Huan is willing."
He Yuzhou smiled lightly, feeling much better.
"Xiaozhou...you just happened to be together, so go back to the house to rest first, and I'll cook porridge for you."
He Yuzhou got up and looked at Nu Yi curiously. Nu Yi didn't seem to be able to cook porridge. Even though he was thinking so, he didn't ask. He just nodded and replied, "Okay."
"Where is Xiaohuan, would you like to come into the house with me?"
Qin Huai wrinkled his face and shook his head after thinking, "Brother Yi and I are going to help in the kitchen."
"Heh..." He Yuzhou smiled and replied, "Okay, then you guys go."
It seems that Qin Huan likes Nu Yi very much.
It's not okay to sleep after a few days, so He Yuzhou went back to the house and sat for a while, made himself a cup of tea, and wanted to go to the kitchen to see the two of them.
As soon as he approached the kitchen, he heard faint laughter coming from inside, it was Qin Huan alone.
"Hehe... Brother, you are so stupid. This is not how to cook porridge. I will, let me do it."
"...En." He Yuzhou heard Nu Yi's soft reply.
The kitchen of He Yuzhou's house is not too big, but the light is very good. The door is wide open, and you can directly see the situation inside from the outside. So when He Yuzhou saw Nu Yi holding Qin Huan, he lifted him up so that Qin Huan could touch him. Stove, you can reach out to cook porridge.
The child is short and thin, and he seems to be uncomfortable when he is hanging like this. His little face is flushed, but his expression is very serious. Behind him is Nu Yi, who is expressionless and frowns slightly, looking very serious .
Facing a pot of porridge, the appearance of the two of them made He Yuzhou laugh out loud.
Maybe it was because the two of them were engrossed, or maybe it was because the sound of burning firewood and spatula in the kitchen was too loud, so He Yuzhou's laughter was not heard, and He Yuzhou didn't bother him. He sat down in the yard and looked at the two people in the kitchen through the yard. , and occasionally hear their intercom.
"Brother, I seem to be confused!"
"No, the surface is not cooked yet."
"But when I cook it for my mother, if it turns yellow, it means it's burnt, as my mother said."
"..."
He Yuzhou watched Nu Yi's complexion darken, put the child down, and quickly turned the porridge in the pot.
The bottom of the porridge was slightly browned, but it didn't taste mushy yet. The only way Nui could think of was to stir it vigorously, hoping that the surface would be cooked quickly so that it could be cooked.
"Brother, you said we were overcooked, will my sister be angry?"
At this time, Nu Yi had already seen He Yuzhou in the courtyard, he looked at him, He Yuzhou shook his head at him, Nu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "No."
"But my mother said that wasting food will be hated by others, I don't want to be hated by my sister..."
"...He won't hate you." Nu Yi looked at He Yuzhou again and replied.
"En." The child suddenly lowered his head, feeling very depressed: "My sister is very talkative, and I have never seen him angry, but... if he gets angry, if he gets angry... don't What should I do?"
Nu Yi was taken aback, and He Yuzhou was also taken aback.
Qin Huan seemed to have thought of something, and his voice trembled with tears: "When my mother was sick, I couldn't get water anywhere...Only my sister could fetch water for me. At that time, I thought my sister was really nice, mother. Something happened to my dear, and my sister was with me, my sister is a good person, my mother is gone, I don’t know where to go, I really want to be with my sister, she is good-looking and a good person.”
"That's why I want to help my sister more, but I can't do anything. I haven't even cooked the porridge. It can be cooked when I was with my mother, and the wild fruit is also there. My sister doesn't eat it. I came from the mountain. I picked it up specially for my sister."
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, and a few images flashed through his mind. At that time, the child had just lost his mother and regained his energy. He ran out all day. He Yuzhou and Qi Yan thought that he went out to play, and every time he came back, he was dirty. Worrying about him, he did bring back some sour wild fruits every day back then, but at that time there was no shortage of food at home, so He Yuzhou put it aside and seldom ate it...
Unexpectedly, the child picked it specially for him, and he failed the child's wishes.
The child's voice trembled more and more, and the crying became more and more intense: "People in the village say that I am a disaster star, I killed my father when I was born, and my mother died later, and now I am in my sister's house for only a few days. Let my sister fall ill..."
"Brother, am I really a scourge star?"
The childish voice and the childish language made He Yuzhou's heart tremble, he stood up suddenly, and said distressedly: "No."
The child was taken aback, turned around and saw He Yuzhou, took a step back timidly, his eyes were red like a rabbit.
He Yuzhou approached him, he looked at He Yuzhou pitifully, and softly called: "Sister..."
"Sister..." The child began to cry softly.
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and patted his head comfortingly. The child cried, "Sister...do you want me soon?"
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and replied, "Why don't you want to?"
"But they said... They said that if I let my sister know that I am a disaster star, I will be abandoned. I don't want to be abandoned, but I don't want my sister to get sick. If I leave me, my sister won't get sick... Wow ..."
The child spoke incoherently and burst into tears, He Yuzhou was stunned, and probably understood what the child meant.
The child whose mother died was already very sensitive, and after being ignored by him for a while, he felt extremely uneasy. Once influenced by other people's gossip, he really thought he was a scourge, afraid of being known by him, afraid of being abandoned by him, That's why he was so cautious about him, and he went to the mountain to pick wild fruits to please himself, but he didn't see the favor of the five-year-old shy child, and ignored his kindness.
His illness made the child suspect that it was his own problem, and he felt that maybe he would not be sick without himself, so he has been restless, sad, and entangled...I don’t want to be left behind or get sick, so I saw him That's why it's so stiff.
He Yuzhou looked at him lovingly, stroked his head, and said apologetically, "Xiao Huan, I neglected you. I'm sorry, I won't do it again. I'm sure that our Xiao Huan is definitely not a scourge star." !"
"Hic." The child hiccupped, looked at He Yuzhou with teary eyes and asked, "Really?"
He Yuzhou smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true, if you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Yi."
He Yuzhou pulled the child over and made the child face Nu Yi, while he himself looked up at Nu Yi.
Nu Yi was stunned for a moment, being watched by one big and one small, blushing, his eyes drifted and stammered: "Yes...not...it's the scourge star."
He Yuzhou smiled at the child and said, "Right, brother Yi and I won't lie. Xiao Huan is really not a scourge. I get sick because of my poor health. From now on, I promise Xiao Huan that I won't lie to you." Get yourself sick, okay?"
"Is it true that you won't get sick again?" the child asked uncertainly.
He Yuzhou nodded affirmatively, and the child smiled innocently with tears all over his face: "Then let's pull the hook."
Said, stretched out the little finger of the little hand.
He Yuzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Okay, pull the hook."
The child, after all, is only a five-year-old child, cried for a while, got tired, and fell asleep.
The porridge was completely muddled, and Nu Yi blushed again: "I'm sorry, I failed my duty."
"En?" He Yuzhou looked at him suspiciously.
Nu Yi lowered his head and said: "The porridge is not cooked, please punish Xiaozhou."
The words were awkward, and He Yuzhou also heard it awkwardly. He used to not allow men to call him Miss, but to call him Xiaozhou. He used to not allow him to salute him, and he was not allowed to call himself a subordinate. Now he has done all of these, but the concept is He still regarded him as the master, and regarded himself as the subordinate.
He looked at Nu Yi who bowed his head and shoulders in front of him, and sighed: "I once said that you are not my subordinate, do you remember?"
Nu Yi was taken aback, and replied, "I remember."
"That is to allow you to be equal to me, so you don't need to be so respectful to me."
"You, like me, are ordinary people, there is no hierarchy, don't regard me as your master."
Nu Yi was taken aback, and looked at He Yuzhou in astonishment. This was the first time someone told him that he was an ordinary person, and Nu Yi felt rippling in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
He Yuzhou approached the kitchen, which was in a mess.
Nu Yi blushed again, but her complexion was too dark to be seen. He Yuzhou smiled wryly, and couldn't help complaining: "During the few days when I was sick, what did you eat?"
Such cooking skills...
"Grilled... roasted meat."
He Yuzhou raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and Nu Yi replied, "I can make barbecue."
"However, Xiaozhou just woke up, you are suitable for eating." He explained why he proposed to cook porridge.
He Yuzhou raised his eyebrows, feeling warm in his heart, looked at the ingredients at home and said, "I really can't eat too greasy food, so why don't you drink some porridge with me tonight."
As he spoke, he picked up a killed wild pheasant, removed the bones, shredded the meat, cleaned the porridge from the head of the pot, put in rice again, boiled the water on high heat, and put the washed rice in the pot. Pour in the water and boil together, until the water boils, turn to medium heat and simmer slowly. When it is almost done, put the chicken shreds down, and then add some salt.
Soon, the room smelled of porridge, maybe he was hungry, or maybe he smelled the smell and was hungry, Qin Huan woke up, got up from the bed and looked at He Yuzhou without blinking outside the kitchen.
He Yuzhou's heart softened, and he gave him a large bowl. He thought that a five-year-old child would eat too much, but he drank two bowls at once.
Nu Yi also ate a lot. After a pot of porridge was finished, he still couldn't get enough.
He Yuzhou smiled and said: "It seems that I will cook more next time."
Nu Yi blushed, and stammered, explaining: "Perhaps it's because I've been bored with eating barbecue these days that I find the porridge so delicious, so...drink more."
As he spoke, he lowered his head.
He Yuzhou looked at him and shook his head. The man standing alone without speaking was very intimidating, but he seemed shy when he spoke.
Fortunately, he is not a rigid person. After telling him that he is an ordinary person, he really seemed to relax and get along with him normally.
If it was the same as the beginning, He Yuzhou thought, how awkward it would be to get along.
After dinner, Nu Yi scrambled to wash the dishes, and He Yuzhou let him do the work, washed himself and changed clothes, it was getting late.
Qin Huan had already gone to bed, and He Yuzhou sat alone in the yard in a daze.
A few days ago, Qi Yan and Lu Zhuoxi were still sitting here, and they needed him to make tea every night and play chess under the moonlight.
Qi Yan's identity and whereabouts are unknown, but he is cunning, so he doesn't need to worry about it. Although he knows that he doesn't need to worry about it, he still has some concerns in his heart.
Lu Zhuoxi, thinking of Lu Zhuoxi, He Yuzhou sighed deeply, he really didn't know what to do?
That person is still avoiding him now, and he has already gone to the capital, what should he do?Are you chasing after the capital?
The capital is so big, where should I find him?
Uncle An and the members of the Lu family were a little strange about this matter, as if deliberately misleading Lu Zhuoxi's purpose of becoming an official...
He Yuzhou sighed.
"What is Xiaozhou thinking?" Suddenly there was a voice in his ear, He Yuzhou looked over, it was Nu Yi, and Nu Yi blushed slightly: "I'm sorry, I'm busy, I just heard you sigh repeatedly, I'm a little curious. Shouldn't have asked..."
"No." He Yuzhou shook his head: "It's nothing. If you are curious, you will naturally want to ask, but I don't know where to start."
He Yuzhou looked at the moon, the moonlight shone faintly on the courtyard, casting a few shadows of trees on the ground, mottled and mottled, suddenly quiet.
He took a deep breath and said, "Nui, if you deceived a person, and that person wanted to do something he had never thought of because of your deception, would you tell this person the truth?"
Nu Yi was silent for a while, then he shook his head and said, "Nu Yi has never deceived anyone, so I don't know."
"Never deceived anyone before?" He Yuzhou looked at Nu Yi in astonishment, and Nu Yi nodded slightly: "As a subordinate, it is a crime to deceive the master, and Nu Yi will not commit it."
He Yuzhou chuckled: "Then you are really transparent."
"I should tell him the truth." He Yuzhou said to himself, "However, he didn't see me, and he has already left this place."
"Xiaozhou...are you talking about the young master of the Lu family?" Nu Yi asked.
He Yuzhou looked at him in surprise, and Nu Yi explained: "I brought you back from Lu Mansion that day. Uncle An also came to see you in the past few days when you were in a coma, and heard some things in those few days, so I know Young Master Lu."
He Yuzhou understood it, and then he was a little surprised: "Uncle An has been here?"
Nu Yi said: "Come here, he asked me to tell Xiaozhou that Young Master Lu is fine, there is a wife here, I hope you can look away, and when Young Master Lu becomes famous, Xiaozhou, you can see him."
"..." He Yuzhou was silent, not understanding what Uncle An meant, or what Lu Mansion meant.
"Xiaozhou... are you very confused?" Nu Yi asked.
He Yuzhou turned his head: "I don't understand. Young Master Lu once told me that he never wanted to be an official in his life, and he is not in good health. Being an official is not a good choice."
Nu Yi was silent, bowed her head and said, "I've been here for a few days, and I've heard a lot about the Lu Mansion."
"kindness?"
"I think Xiaozhou really needn't worry."
"?" He Yuzhou looked at him suspiciously.
Nu Yi said: "The Lu family used to be a scholarly family, and there is always a need for someone to make Guangzong shine, and Lu Zhuoxi is the best candidate."
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and Nu Yi said: "Although Lu Zhuoxi has never thought about becoming an official, it doesn't mean that his family members haven't thought about it. When I say that, Xiaozhou understands?"
"You mean, people in the Lu family want Young Master Lu to become an official, so that he can honor his ancestors?"
As he said that, he shook his head self-consciously: "But his body is so weak, unless the people of the Lu family want him to die from overwork, they can't agree to him..."
"Xiaozhou is worried. Young Master Lu has been able to support himself since he became ill at the age of eight. Maybe his body is not as bad as you think. Moreover, the Lu family now has some family background. There are countless famous doctors in the capital. It's uncertain. Which one will heal Young Master Lu? Nu Yi believes that it is a good choice for Young Master Lu to go to the capital. He can see more and see farther, and his body has more possibilities to be cured. Furthermore, his talent It will not be submerged."
"..." He Yuzhou always felt that it was not the shy Nu Yi who was talking to him now, but... the personable and unrestrained Qi Yan.
That tone is too similar.
He looked at Nu Yi suspiciously, being looked at like this, Nu Yi touched his face a little uncomfortably, his cheeks blushed, and he stammered and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
"No..." He Yuzhou shook his head and looked away. How could it be Qi Yan who was shy and shy? Qi Yan's face was as thick as a wall. He had never seen him blush before. He was crazy to think that this slave Yi looks like Qi Yan.
Laughing, he drank the tea in his hand and said: "It's late at night, I'm going to rest, and you should go to rest early."
"En." Nu Yi nodded slightly and said: "By the way, Xiaozhou, I put some clothes in the closet in that room, probably belong to Master Lu?"
His master probably wouldn't wear such small clothes, and He Yuzhou's figure was not as big as that of the East Wing. After thinking about it, he could only belong to Young Master Lu.
He Yuzhou was taken aback for a moment, then closed his eyes a little dazedly: "Let it stay in the cabinet."
That day, Lu Zhuoxi left in a hurry and took nothing away, including the wheelchair, which is still left in the side room next to the east wing.
He didn't even want the chair anymore.
But I have received so much care from him for no reason.
Tomorrow, return the silver and those boxes of things owed.
The next day, He Yuzhou actually returned Lu Zhuoxi's 50 taels of silver used to build the house and the gift from him when he moved to a new house.
When Zhao Yizai went to the town, he still felt that his trip was inappropriate, but He Yuzhou made up his mind.
If he really accepted this help, it would give him hope just as Lu Zhuoxi said.
Even if he doesn't believe that he is a man, he should stop expecting him. After all, they are brothers. When we meet next time, if he is still willing to come to see him, he will tell him everything...
I only hope that his trip to the capital will be safe and unhindered.
Surprisingly, Uncle An did not refuse this time, but took it back with a smile.
He Yuzhou didn't bother to care what he was thinking, what the Lu family was thinking, returned the things and returned to the village.
Except for the house and the fields, he really has nothing at this time.
The field was so dry at this time that no good things could be grown, but it had to be planted. Widow Qin had planted potatoes in that field. Potatoes are drought-tolerant crops. Widow Qin did not choose wrongly. The field was too dry, and more than half of the potatoes planted were necrotic. He Yuzhou and Nu Yi worked together to remove the necrotic crops in the field and replant some. It took four or five days to finish the work.
After finishing his work in the field, He Yuzhou wanted to find something to supplement his family's expenses.
Now, he is no longer alone, he has to take care of Qin Huan, he can no longer just muddle through like in the past, he has to plan his future life well.
As for the confrontation that Qi Yan said, as he said, he was escaping, but so what?
I have escaped, what else can I do now?He can only take one step at a time.
In addition to him, there is Qin Huan in the family, and he has more worries, let alone being able to do whatever he wants.
It's okay for Qin Huan to be young now. When he grows up, he will be sent to school and bought pens, ink, paper, inkstone and books for him. These are extremely expensive in this era, so first of all, he must have a source of money.
The teahouse... the original thought came to my mind again.
He Yuzhou went home and looked at his silver taels, and there were only 18 taels left, so it was a bit reluctant to build a teahouse.
However, his eyes flashed, and he remembered a kind of house—a bamboo house.
When he built his house, it was located in a remote area, and the land was not for sale alone, so it was included in the bamboo forest. Now, these bamboos just came in handy for him.
The bamboo house has been built, with its unique flavor and unique elegance, which is more suitable for a tea house.
Most importantly, he can save money on building materials.
Just get someone to build it.
Building a bamboo house is also simpler and less time-consuming than building an earthen house.
He told this matter to his family members, including the little Qin Huan. Qin Huan listened ignorantly, only thought that bamboo house was a very novel word, and was full of curiosity about it.
Nu Yi seemed to obey He Yuzhou's orders in everything. When He Yuzhou saw this, he decided to build a bamboo house.
The land for the bamboo house has also been selected. It is next to the field. This field also belongs to He Yuzhou, so he can use it for anything. His field is near the periphery of the village and close to the driveway. It is the most suitable place to build a wooden house here.
The next day, He Yuzhou planned to go to Zhao Yishu with the money in his pocket, and asked the original group of people to help build the bamboo house.
Nu Yi, who had no objection at all, stopped him.
"Xiaozhou, it's drought and there are a lot of refugees. The imperial court advocates that the people use refugees as helpers. The money can be less, and they can also help some refugees. I think Xiaozhou might as well let me go to the county government to bring some refugee helpers back. ?”
He Yuzhou was taken aback, and looked at him suspiciously: "|Why haven't I heard this news?"
Besides, didn't this person have no opinion yesterday?
"..." Nu Yi blinked, and replied with a little evasive gaze: "I only heard about it today. Now that refugees are flooding into major counties and beggars are increasing, the higher-ups only ordered the government to take in the refugees a few days ago. Those with healthy limbs will be left as helpers. If anyone needs it, they can go to the government to register for use. The refugees can keep the money they get. Those who are not in good health can be sold as slaves or stay in the government according to their own wishes. Doing miscellaneous work and sending them to the homes of the rich and powerful as servants can be regarded as preventing refugees from wandering around and doing evil to a certain extent."
He Yuzhou was a little surprised when he heard the words: "There are a lot of capable people in this court, and they can't figure out this method."
Nu Yi smiled, with a hint of pride on his face.
He Yuzhou thought for a while, handed the purse to Nu Yi and said, "Then I'll leave it to you."
Nu Yi took the silver, nodded, and walked to the side.
Nu Yi brought back three men, all strong but dressed in shabby clothes. When He Yuzhou told them what kind of house to build, they each took their tools to chop bamboo.
The money is only [-] Wen a day, which is half cheaper than before. They only have one request, they must have enough food and a place to sleep during the few days they are working.
He Yuzhou vacated the east wing room for the three of them to sleep in. Since there was only one bed in the east wing room, He Yuzhou made two floor bunks for them, and Nu Yi followed Qin Huan to sleep in the main room, where Qi Yan used to live.
Before letting them move in, He Yuzhou went to put away Qi Yan's things, packed them in a box and put them in the closet. He might come back anytime.
He Yuzhou thought.
The three strong men have a lot of food. They can eat almost all the food He Yuzhou cooks for them every day. They can eat and be able to do it at the same time. It took two days to finish chopping bamboo, and they went to He Yuzhou on the third day. Point to the place and start digging.
The bamboo house that He Yuzhou wanted to build was not big, so Nu Yi didn't bring many people back.
The bamboo house was first supported by bamboo on the ground, a short distance from the ground, and a ladder was used to connect the bamboo house above the ground.
It started with a long bamboo corridor. Bamboo chairs and bamboo tables were placed on one side of the bamboo corridor. It is also unique to drink tea while watching the rural scenery by leaning on the bamboo railing.
The bamboo corridor circles the bamboo house, with a table and two chairs placed on each side. These places are basically for the guests who come to drink tea in winter to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery. Two large windows are opened inside the bamboo house, and the light shines from the outside. Going in, the lighting is very good, there are tables at intervals inside, and a counter near the door, where He Yuzhou usually makes and sells tea.
There is also a small room prepared behind the counter, to prepare some materials for He Yuzhou, or get some other things.
It took six days to build the bamboo house, and He Yuzhou gave them an extra day's money to help build more tables and chairs.
This time the wages were halved, and the building materials did not cost money. He Yuzhou saved a lot of money, and even had money on hand to buy some materials.
Although the teahouse is a teahouse, it still sells some other things.
This time he built a bamboo house to open a teahouse. Except for the people who lived in his house, he didn’t tell Mrs. Zhao Yishu and Mrs. Guan, so when he saw the bamboo house, he was a little surprised, but He Yuzhou didn’t intend to explain. There are two days before the bamboo house will open. Yes, at that time he will invite Aunt Guan and Uncle Zhao to come and celebrate.
Thanks for taking care of him all the time.
This time, he had to manage the teahouse well by himself, and he absolutely couldn't bother Zhao Yi and Aunt Guan anymore.
Qin Huan is still waiting for him to raise him, he must make himself stronger.
Before the opening of the teahouse, He Yuzhou and Nu Yi took Xiao Qin Huan to call Zheng Qi and went up the mountain.
He Yuzhou's purpose is to find lemon, which is the mother fruit in this world, and he wants to make fruit tea a major feature of the teahouse.
Moreover, there are many fruit teas, not just lemon black tea.
He has to work out a suitable menu for these two days, including tea and snacks.
This time going up the mountain with Nu Yi and the others, He Yuzhou finally knew why Qin Huan liked Nu Yi so much.
Because Qin Huan was still young, Nu Yi hugged him all the way up the mountain. Sometimes he would hug him, and sometimes Qin Huan would sit on his shoulder and grab his hair.
Qin Huan seemed to like this very much, giggling in Nu Yi's arms, and, Nu Yi is indeed as powerful as Qin Huan said, he does not need a bow and arrow to hunt, just the long sword in his hand, the sword flower, can kill the prey In the stabbing, not only Qin Huan, but also Zheng Qi saw Nu Yi's expressions differently.
Perhaps it was the hunting technique that conquered the big and the small, He Yuzhou laughed.
At noon, staying in the forest, He Yuzhou finally got a taste of Nu Yi's cooking, which was surprisingly delicious. He looked at Nu Yi in surprise, and Nu Yi pursed his lips in embarrassment and said, "Actually, I only know how to roast meat. "
Many missions required overnight stays in the field, and it was inconvenient to bring dry food, so they practiced the skill of barbecue.
He Yuzhou tasted the barbecue, his eyes lit up when he saw Nu Yi and Zheng Orion.
This Zheng Orion's barbecue is also a must, which is not inferior to Nu Yi's. If these two people can sell the barbecue in the teahouse... maybe they can sell it for a good price.
Just do it when you think about it, He Yuzhou took this opportunity to talk about his idea, Nu Yi repeatedly agreed without any hesitation, but Zheng Qi shook his head slightly when he heard it, he wanted to hunt and support his family, and he didn't know if he could make money selling barbecue. , he can't take the risk.
He Yuzhou didn't force it either, but just said: "If you want to sell barbecue someday, you can come to my place, and I will accept your barbecue unconditionally."
Zheng Qi agreed.
