My ancient leisure life

Under the moonlight, five or six people stood at the gate of Xu Nuo's house, a few of them whispered in low voices, and a short fat man said: "The second young master said, hit him hard, just keep his breath, let him live to see how our young master can use it!" His guild hall made a fortune. But his two legs must be broken, and he must crawl to meet our young master."

"Don't worry, the Second Young Master has always been generous, we will definitely get things done. If a mud-legged person dares to offend the Second Young Master, it is the Second Young Master's kindness not to kill him."

Their voices seemed to be whispering in the silent night, but they were heard by a few black shadows hiding in the corner, and their oily green eyes glowed piercingly in the dark night.

Just when those people were about to pass by, several black shadows sprang out quickly, threw them down, opened their mouths and bit down hard, "Ah!" A shrill cry echoed.

Xu Nuo heard the sound outside, opened his eyes in a daze, and listened carefully, only the slight movement of the north wind blowing and knocking on the window lattice, he thought he was dreaming, and he had to get up early tomorrow, turned over and continued to sleep.

Several people outside were already lying straight on the ground, a snow-white tiger with a paw still on a person's head, it turned out that just as these people screamed, it rushed out and slapped each of them unconscious.

It growled a few times at the fierce black wolves, and they dragged a few people and ran out of the village.The white tiger walked around the door a few times, sniffing and scratching, as if to cover up something.

Before dawn on the second day, Xu Nuo got up to pack up, loaded the things needed along the way into the car, and prepared to leave the village alone.

"Promise." Erdan stood outside the door against the morning frost.

"Why are you standing here?" Xu Nuo was startled, he looked up at the sky, it was still dark.

Er Dan scratched his head and smiled, "Last night, there was a thieves in the village. I woke up and didn't go back to sleep. I wanted to see you off, so I came here early and waited."

"Hey!" Xu Nuo was helpless, it was impossible to sneak away alone, "Get in the car, I'll take you to the town."

He ignored the thief that Erdan said, and Erdan thought it was as simple as being a thief, and no one cared about it.

Xu Nuo embarked on a long road. Although he was a little uneasy about the future, he was unwilling to be supported by the belief that was suppressed at the bottom, and stepped out of this barren place without hesitation.

"Old master." The housekeeper of the Zhou residence hurried into the study and whispered a few words to old master Zhou.

"Bastards, let them take over the murder and arson." Mr. Zhou was furious, "Call the third couple and that little bastard over here."

"Master." Butler Zhou hesitated.

"Go!" Mr. Zhou waved his hands weakly, "Don't talk about it, they don't know what other crazy things they can do! They can even do such outrageous things as murder and arson, how can I see my ancestors? .”

In Kyoto, Cheng Ge stood outside the imperial palace and bid farewell to Zhao Wenhao. There was no danger here and he did not need his protection.

"Brother Cheng, where are you going?" Zhao Wenhao was taken aback. He returned to Beijing through hardships and hardships. He didn't even pass by the gate of the mansion, and came directly to see the emperor.

"To see a friend, I went back straight away." Cheng Ge smiled, if he hadn't promised to go to see Zhou Yuyi, he would turn around and return now.

"How can this be done? If Brother Cheng hadn't escorted us all the way, we would have died long ago." Speaking of this matter, Zhao Wenhao still had lingering fears. He didn't expect so many people to chase and kill him, and vowed that he would never return to the capital.

"That's right." Qingsong hurriedly interjected: "Why don't we go to the mansion to rest for a few days, let us young people do our best as landlords."

"Yes! This road is difficult and dangerous, so we have to stay for a few more days." Zhao Wenhao was afraid that he would leave as soon as he said so, and the palace gate would not enter, so he anxiously persuaded him: "It's not easy to come to the capital, so we have to wait and see. Look at the bustling and bustling here, and let us thank you for saving our lives."

No matter what they said, Cheng Ge just shook his head, "I can't let go of things at home, I have to go back as soon as possible, and I will visit again when I have a chance."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the anxious little eunuch waiting at the side and said, "Go in quickly, don't you just want to see the emperor earlier after traveling so long?"

"Master Zhao, the emperor is still waiting." The little eunuch interrupted at the right time and urged.

"Hey!" Zhao Wenhao smiled helplessly, "If it's convenient, let Qingsong take you to visit your friends. I'll treat Brother Cheng to a banquet tonight. Let's rest for a night and then go on the road tomorrow, shall we?"

"Okay." It would be hypocritical to evade any more, Zhao Wenhao is someone you can make friends with, and he can't be too shameless.

Zhao Wenhao left in a hurry, Cheng Ge looked at Qingsong, wanting to say that he didn't need to accompany him, but Qingsong had already explained to the two guards: "I'm sending brother Cheng to visit his friends, b you are waiting for the young man here."

"Let's go, Brother Cheng." Qingsong enthusiastically asked Cheng Ge's friend's address, he knew everything in the capital.

Cheng Ge gave him an address. He had never been to the capital, and he didn't know where it was. With Qingsong accompanying him, he wouldn't have to inquire.

"Nancheng!" Qingsong said, "That's where the dignitaries live, and there are many academies. I didn't expect Brother Cheng's friends to live there, so they must be rich without being officials."

Before Cheng Ge could answer, he introduced to Cheng Ge the distribution of the cities in Kyoto.Needless to say, the imperial city, Cheng Ge has been there just now, and lives in the center of Kyoto.

Then there are four districts in the southeast, northwest, and Dongweizun, where some relatives of the emperor, first- and second-rank officials live, and some meritorious officials bestowed by the emperor to live there.

Nancheng is where most officials live, as well as some aristocratic families and academies.The West City is a bit more mixed, with officials, wealthy businessmen, and aboriginal people of all kinds.Beicheng is the place where civilians live, and here is the chaos. It is the lowest level in Kyoto.

Needless to say, Kyoto is bustling and full of people. Following the green pine leading the way, Cheng Ge saw the noble mansions in peace and tranquility, the bustling downtown, and the quiet alleys.

These are things he has never seen before. Although they are not charming, but for the fact that there is a quiet place to live in amidst the hustle and bustle, and that it can be in a bustling place in a quiet place, and that it can be unpretentious and magnificent. Ge is rare.

"Brother Cheng, this is the alley ahead." Qingsong pointed to the entrance of the alley ahead and said, "Let's go in from here."

Qingsong looked at the gate in front of it, the one without regulations, and asked curiously: "This is not an official residence."

"I don't know any officials, but a friend in our town." Of course Cheng Ge knew that Zhou Yuyi's ability to live here was all thanks to Zhao Kai.

"Brother Cheng." Zhou Yuyi heard that the concierge Cheng Ge had arrived, so he rushed out to greet him. He looked around and asked, "Where is Brother Nuo?"

"He didn't come." Cheng Ge said.

"Oh." Zhou Yuyi was a little disappointed, "Brother Cheng, come in quickly."

"Yes." Cheng Ge introduced to him, "This is Qingsong, he is from Kyoto."

Zhou Yuyi glanced at Qingsong, and didn't look down on his young servant's attire. He invited them in together, and enthusiastically led the way, "Brother Cheng, why are you in the capital, why don't you come?"

It was rare to see someone he was familiar with, and he kept asking happily, "It would be great if Nuo Di came, so you don't have to go back, we stay in Kyoto together."

Seeing his happy appearance, Cheng Ge faintly sensed that he was not happy here. Cheng Ge knew little about many things, especially these internal family problems, but he was rather disgusted.

Although he doesn't want to cause trouble, but if he is really annoyed, he can't suppress his straightforward nature, breaking his desire to keep a low profile and reticent to protect himself, and what he said makes people speechless.

"It's all out, so what's not to be happy about." Cheng Ge said indifferently: "Xu Nuo always misses you, afraid that you will be bullied. If you are unhappy here, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come out."

"It's not that easy." Zhou Yuyi was familiar with his way of speaking, and didn't mind saying, "Everywhere you go, you are a junior, and someone is on top of you. You have to obey the rules and be filial, and you don't even have a good face."

Because of the promise, he is closer to Cheng Ge, and he is not afraid of his cold face of rejecting people thousands of miles away, and chatters about things in the capital.

Except for his grandfather, no one wanted to see them. The Zhou family ignored them and didn't care about them.

Especially the people in my grandfather's family, who tried to make fun of them without giving them a cold face.The life of the Wang family is not very good, it is an ordinary family, and they want more if they accept their gifts.

The most ridiculous thing is that now Zhou and Wang don't know where they live, and they both think they live in each other's house.As for the inn they stayed in the first day, it might be something they would never even think about.

Cheng Ge had been listening carefully, and when he finished speaking, he frowned impatiently and said, "What are they doing? They're not in the Zhou Mansion. I just don't know where you live, so you can rest easy."

"That's right!" Zhou Yuyi was stunned for a moment, then clapped his hands suddenly and said, "If we don't go, where will they find us, they don't even know which college my eldest brother studies in."

"That's all right." Cheng Ge said: "Don't make do with nothing, it's not good for you, stay away to avoid trouble with you, it's better not to communicate with each other forever."

"Yes, yes, I will tell my elder brother when he comes back." Zhou Yuyi said with a smile: "Brother Cheng, since you are home, let's stay here. I bought a lot of things for Nuo Di, and I plan to send them to you years ago." go back."

Qingsong has been listening to their conversation, looking left and right, being confused by the content and method of their conversation.

What and what are they talking about!In a blink of an eye, Cheng Ge was transferred to live here, and he was sending gifts back. These two people are really different.

He took a closer look at Zhou Yuyi, he was handsome and unparalleled, with a petite and well-behaved appearance, he looked pure and innocent.

When Zhou Yuyi was still talking to Cheng Ge about the gifts he bought for Xu Nuo, someone outside reported that someone was looking for the two guests who had just arrived.

"Who is it?" Zhou Yuyi asked.

"Oh!" Qingsong stood up and said, "I don't know if it's the young master, but why did you find it so quickly?"

He walked out while talking, Cheng Ge sat still, and after Qingsong walked out, he looked into Zhou Yuyi's curious eyes and said: "His young master is an official, I did them a favor, since you are not good here, I'll talk to them in a while, and I'll take care of you if I have something to do."

"Forget it." Zhou Yuyi shook his head and said, "I can't afford it, no one thinks highly of us from a small place."

He talked about Zhao Kai's situation, he really took care of them, he bought this house and the college where Zhou Yuxuan studied, all thanks to Zhao Kai's help.

They are often invited to play at home, but their family members obviously don't want to see them, and the servants also look arrogant, mocking them where Zhao Kai can't see them.

What they don't understand about Zhou Yuyi, how dare the servants be so presumptuous without the master's permission, and they haven't been to Zhao Kai's house since then.

How can the Hou Mansion be a place they can easily go to, and they have no idea of ​​climbing high.It's just that Zhao Kai comes here often, and they get along better, that's all.

Before they finished speaking, Qingsong hurried back, "Brother Cheng, hurry up, the emperor has summoned you."

"Why did you summon me?" Cheng Ge said a little displeased, "I won't go, I have to go home."

"Ah?" Qingsong was taken aback for a moment, it was the first time he heard the emperor's summoning whether he would go or not!

"Tell your young master, I won't go, it's too much time." Cheng Ge said: "If I didn't come to visit him, I would have left long ago."

The implication of what he said was that he agreed to Zhao Wenhao's meal, but he was still hesitant, why would he go to see the emperor.

"But what my young master says doesn't count!" Qingsong said distressedly: "Who dares to be the master of the emperor?"

"Just say that brother Cheng has left, and the emperor doesn't know about it." Zhou Yuyi blinked and said, "The emperor must not think that brother Cheng will not go. If you report back to your young master like this, they will believe it."
