Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Pei Linzhi returned home with Xiao Yu on his back, pushed open the door and went in, and told Ji Hai: "Ji Hai, see if all the people come back, and then close the door."

Ji Hai hurriedly agreed: "Yes, Master. Is your husband okay?"

Xiao Yu lay on Pei Linzhi's back, twisting uncomfortably, thinking about it, Pei Linzhi didn't let go: "He's fine."

Min Chong was drinking tea and chatting with Dou Qiye in his room, when he heard the movement, he got up and came out to have a look.Xiao Yu's face was facing him, and when he saw his figure, he greeted him with some embarrassment: "Min is not asleep yet."

Min Chong nodded, turned around and entered the room without speaking.

Pei Linzhi glanced at the door of Min Chong's room, went straight into the room, and put him on his low couch: "I'll fetch water for Mr. Lang to take a bath."

Xiao Yu leaned back, lay on the bed, and rolled over on the soft silk quilt: "Rinzhi, you are so kind, what would I do without you?"

Hearing this, Pei Linzhi suddenly knelt down beside Xiao Yu, put his hands on Xiao Yu's side, lowered his head and met his eyes: "Mr. Lang will never live without me, I will always be by your side."

Pei Linzhi's warm breath fell on Xiao Yu's face, Xiao Yu suddenly felt a change in the atmosphere, his heartbeat quickened, he subconsciously turned his face away, avoiding Pei Linzhi's breath, this was really too ambiguous, raised his hand To push his chest: "Rinzhi, can you get up?" He suddenly realized a problem, Pei Rinzhi probably doesn't like him, right?

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu, sighed suddenly, resisted the urge to hug him into his arms, raised his hand to gently stroke his head, and said softly: "I'll put the bath water for Mr. Lang." Then he straightened up , left in a hurry.

Xiao Yu looked at his back and was a little dazed. The one with the broken sleeve was not acting?It's broken, could it be that I accidentally led someone into a ditch?Does he mean it?This is so embarrassing.Xiao Yu desperately used his hands to fan the side of his face to reduce the heat.

So much so that when Pei Linzhi came to ask him to take a bath again, he didn't dare to look him in the eyes.

Pei Linzhi held Xiao Yu's bath towel in his hand: "Mr., I will rub your back for you."

Xiao Yu hurriedly snatched his hand towel: "No, no, no, I'll do it myself." After saying that, he jumped up and down into the bathroom with one leg as if fleeing.

Pei Linzhi looked at Xiao Yu's back with a sense of loss, clenched his fists tightly, and pinched his fingers into the palm of his hand, which frightened His Highness.

When Xiao Yu came back from the shower, he had already sorted out his mood, but when he saw Pei Linzhi sitting on the steps in a daze, he still felt that he had committed a crime.He licked his dry lips, dragged his unhealed right foot and limped over, tried his best to put on an ordinary voice and said, "Rinzhi, I've finished washing, you go and wash."

Pei Linzhi hurriedly stood up: "Oh, good."

Xiao Yu didn't know what expression to give, so he gave a slightly blunt smile.Pei Linzhi reached out to help him, but he refused: "I can walk by myself, you go and wash."

He bounced back to the room and lay down, turned over wrapped in the quilt, wow, still uneasy, what can I do, such a good young man, what a crime he is doing!Xiao Yu tugged at his hair melancholy.

He relies on and likes Pei Linzhi from the bottom of his heart, but that is only the most trusted and closest friend and brother, and he has absolutely no further thoughts. Friends become lovers?Still don't want it, it feels so awkward.

When did Pei Linzhi start to like him, no, no, what he likes should not be himself, but the original prince Xiao Yu, which can also explain why he gave up everything and came to Yazhou with him.

Should I tell him that I am no longer the person he likes?To make him die.

But this is too cruel for Pei Linzhi, the person he worked so hard to care for is no longer there, this is a big blow to him, he doesn't want to see Pei Linzhi sad.

But if you don't say it, you will be regarded as a substitute for others, what a dilemma.

It's really frustrating, how come I ran into such a difficult problem.It's best to let Pei Linzhi give up on him, but how can he make him give up?This is really difficult.

Xiao Yu tossed and turned like pancakes on the bed, but couldn't find a clue.

In the darkness, a voice suddenly sounded: "Is your husband asleep?"

Xiao Yu was so frightened that he sat up like a carp: "Who?"

Pei Linzhi's voice sounded: "It's me. Is your husband asleep?"

"Oh, it's Rinzhi, I'm already asleep. You go to bed too." Xiao Yu hurriedly lay down again, lying down too quickly, his head knocked on the bed frame, and he let out a cry of pain.

Pei Lin came to the bedside in an instant, and said nervously, "What's wrong with you, Mr. Lang?"

Xiao Yu rubbed the back of his head and said, "It's all right, I just kowtowed accidentally, it's okay. I'm going to sleep." This was an order to evict guests.

Pei Linzhi stretched out his hand to pull the quilt for him: "Then Mr. Sleep, I'm outside, call me if you need anything."

In fact, this is what Pei Linzhi does every night. Before Xiao Yu didn't realize Pei Linzhi's feelings, he thought it was a normal concern. So considerate.

You have to be more careful in the future, keep a little distance from Pei Linzhi, and don't give him another illusion.

Xiao Yu thought about arranging Pei Linzhi to do something else, but the two became estranged, and he focused on other things, maybe that thought faded away.

But just thinking about it, don't say that Pei Linzhi couldn't agree, and he didn't dare to let him go. If he left, he wouldn't even have anyone to discuss with him.Pei Linzhi is his shadow, how can a person be separated from his own shadow.

The next day, when Xiao Yu got up, the bed in the outer room had been made neatly, and Pei Linzhi went out to practice.The water for washing is still in the old place, which has been prepared by Pei Linzhi.

Xiao Yu used to think that Pei Linzhi was thinking about his status as the former prince, so he served him like this. He told him several times that he didn't need to prepare for himself, but he persisted. Now that he thinks about it, he might not be expressing his pampering.

Xiao Yu felt that his face was a little hot. It turned out that he was so slow-witted that he owed more and more debts. What should he do?

Xiao Yu went to the courtyard to wash his mouth and saw Min Chong practicing in the yard.

Min Chong's practice of kung fu is just a recent thing. He never practiced kung fu before. I don't know what stimulated him to start practicing kung fu again.

Min Chong found him and looked back at him: "Lang Jun is up."

Xiao Yu chuckled, in fact he got up quite early, and now it is Mao Shi Zhong, but compared to people who got up to practice at Yin Shi, it was already very late.

"Leader Min continues." He said to Min Chong.

Min Chong continued the boxing technique just now. Although he was vigorous, Xiao Yu felt that his skills should not be as good as Pei Linzhi.

Min Chong stopped after finishing a set of punches: "Mr. Lang thinks me or Mr. Pei, who is better in martial arts."

Xiao Yu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask so directly: "I can't say that, I have to compete with you to find out."

Min Chong nodded, walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea into the teacup, drank it in one gulp, poured two more cups, and pushed one of the cups towards Xiao Yu with his finger: "Drink tea .”

Xiao Yu spit out mouthwash: "Thank you, I'll come right after I wash my face."

Drinking tea first thing in the morning, Xiao Yu thought it tasted like the Kung Fu tea of ​​Chaoshan people in later generations.He taught everyone how to make tea, and he instructed the potters to make teapots and cups. Although the utensils are not perfect, they can still be used.

Xiao Yu drank two cups of tea. Seeing that Min Chong brought the kettle over to fill the teapot with water, and sat down, he seemed to be planning to continue drinking. He said in surprise, "Why didn't Master Min go to the beach?"

Min Chong looked at Xiao Yu and raised his eyes: "Why, Mr. Lang is supervising work?"

Xiao Yu smiled and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, Master Min usually goes to the beach early in the morning, but he didn't go today, that's why I asked this question."

Min Chong was silent for a moment, and said: "Pei Langjun is worried that you are not safe at home alone, so let me stay with you at home."

Xiao Yu supported his forehead: "Rin Zhi is too cautious."

Min Chong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and looked at Xiao Yu: "Actually, I'm a little curious, why is Mr. Pei Lang so nervous about you?"

Xiao Yu suddenly blushed, did he also see that Pei Linzhi's attitude towards him was a bit out of the ordinary? "It's nothing, he just cares about my safety."

Min Chong said: "I know he cares about your safety, the question is how can an ordinary person have safety problems, so I am very curious about the identity of Mr. Lang."

Xiao Yu found out that he was thinking about it. Min Chong didn't discover Pei Linzhi's feelings for him, but he was doubting his identity. In fact, he was not to blame for doubting, indeed, there were many doubts.

Xiao Yu laughed: "You can also see my identity. I am a farmer who has planted several acres of land and opened several workshops. He is just a little richer than ordinary people."

Min Chong shook his head: "You know that's not what I asked. Well, if you don't want to say it, I won't get to the bottom of it. If you trust me, you will tell me yourself one day."

Xiao Yu really couldn't tell him his identity as the deposed prince. First, it has nothing to do with him now. Second, although this identity is useless, it is also quite sensitive. It is better that fewer people know about it.

Xiao Yu said: "Sorry, I can't tell you now. Maybe I will have a chance to tell you later."

Min Chong nodded and said nothing.

Seeing that he was rarely free, Xiao Yu asked him when he would go to Guangzhou to buy tea and silk, and how much silver he needed to prepare.

Min Chong made a rough calculation for him. It is not easy to go out to sea, and after walking such a long distance, it is natural to bring more goods. Tea and silk are the bulk of this trade, and it is necessary to prepare a few hundred taels. goods.

Recently, the output of the paper workshop and the pottery workshop are being stored for going to sea. If they are not traded, only blue bricks and lime can be sold at home. These two are cheap, and the income can only subsidize the family.

Xiao Yu said: "I only have more than 100 taels of silver on hand, and I will ask Lin Zhi to borrow some later."

Min Chong said: "I still have more than 200 taels on hand, so I can borrow it from you first."

How could Xiao Yu be embarrassed: "Don't you buy some goods yourself?"

Min Chong suddenly smiled. He usually has a serious face and a serious smile. This smile is like a sudden bloom of epiphyllum in the dark night, which is amazing.

But because it was so unusual, it made people feel that the smile had a deep meaning.

Xiao Yu was embarrassed by his laughter: "What are you laughing at?"

Min Chong said: "It's a big taboo for hired workers to bring goods without permission. I didn't expect that there are still employers who take the initiative to let employees take goods without permission. Are you planning to do good deeds?"

Xiao Yu patted his forehead with his hands, and smiled awkwardly: "That's right. Then thank you, and I will calculate the interest for you later." Employees sell their own goods on the boss's site, can the boss's goods still be sold?It has been a big taboo since ancient times. I don't do business myself, so I didn't expect to go to this level.

When Pei Linzhi came in, he saw the two talking and laughing, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sourness surge in his chest, and he quickly stepped into the yard: "Your Majesty is up?"

Xiao Yu raised his head and glanced at Pei Lin: "Did you finish the drill?"

Pei Linzhi nodded and looked at Min Chong: "I'm back, Mr. Min can go to his own business."

Xiao Yu raised his head and said, "I'm discussing with Master Min about going to Guangzhou to buy tea and silk, and I have to trouble you to borrow some money from Xue Zhao."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Okay, how much do you need?"

Min Chong said: "200 taels, the lowest number."

Pei Linzhi frowned and looked at him, when will it be his turn to arrange himself again.Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu said: "Let's just use the amount that Mr. Min said, he knows the prices of tea and silk best."

Pei Linzhi had no choice but to say: "Okay. When do I need it?"

Min Chong said: "If you can borrow it, the sooner the better, you will need it sooner or later."

Pei Linzhi remained expressionless, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xiao Yu sensed Pei Linzhi's displeasure, so he found a topic to ease the atmosphere: "Where's Ji Hai?"

"Still training."

Min Chong also stood up: "Since you are back, I'm leaving, and the boat must be built as soon as possible."

Xiao Yu was actually a little worried that the new ship would not be able to make it in time. The time was too short. In just two or three months, apart from Min Chong, there was no skilled master. The only advantage was the large number of people.But at this time, he can only choose to trust Min Chong, after all, he has no better way.

After Min Chong left, Pei Linzhi said, "Let me help Mr. Lang walk, not to say that he wants to visit Zhifang." After that, he stretched out his hand to help Xiao Yu.

With a little effort, Xiao Yu broke away from Pei Linzhi's support: "I will do it by myself. I have to exercise slowly, otherwise I will never be able to walk."

"The doctor said, try to use as little force as possible in the first three months, and you can't walk too much."

"I know, I will do what I can." Xiao Yu dragged one leg and walked forward slowly.

Pei Linzhi stretched out his arm, trying to lend him strength, but he just turned a blind eye and walked slowly and with difficulty.Even when he was crossing the threshold, Xiao Yu refused Pei Linzhi's support, and helped the doorman stride over with great effort.

It is almost two miles from home to Zhifang. For ordinary people, it is a matter of fifteen minutes, but for Xiao Yu, who has not recovered from his leg injury, it is really a long distance.

Pei Linzhi said: "Your Majesty, I'll bring out the horse and let's ride over."

When Xiao Yu heard that he wanted to ride a horse with him, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, I'll just walk over."

Pei Linzhi ignored him, and brought the horse over. He couldn't help retorting, and hugged the man onto the horse's back. Xiao Yu quickly grabbed the horse's reins: "Rinzhi, you scared me to death."

Pei Linzhi grabbed the saddle and was about to get on the horse. Xiao Yu hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll ride over by myself, and I'll be back soon. If you have something to do, go and do it."

Pei Linzhi stood under the horse and looked up at him, speechless for a long time.

Xiao Yu saw the hurt look in his eyes, he didn't dare to look more, and looked away, feeling extremely uneasy in his heart, he really didn't want to hurt him, but he couldn't hang on to him like this all the time.

After all, Pei Linzhi didn't get on the horse, but just led the horse to Zhifang.

Xiao Yu looked at Pei Linzhi who was dismounting from his horse, and for the first time felt that the tall man was a bit fragile. He tried his best to find something to relieve the dull and oppressive atmosphere: "Did Linzhi see a donkey seller in Yazhou?"

When Pei Linzhi heard his words, he turned to look at him: "Donkey?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I think I am suitable for riding a donkey. I am small and not difficult to get on. It is quite good as a means of transportation. Besides, Zhang Guo and Lao Avanti all ride donkeys, and donkeys are for wise men. Mount."

Pei Lin's face was blank: "Who are Zhang Guo and Lao Avanti?"

Xiao Yu stretched out his hand and scratched his scalp in embarrassment: "Zhang Guo is a character among the Eight Immortals of Taoism, and Avanti is a wise man from the Western Regions. Haven't you heard of it?" These are characters in folk stories anyway, no matter what What age, just make it up, don't be afraid of cheating.

Pei Linzhi shook his head: "I've heard the Huainan Eight Immortals, but I don't know the details."

"Maybe it's different for each version." Xiao Yu laughed to cover it up, "If you see a donkey, Rinzhi can buy one for me."

Pei Linzhi nodded: "Okay."

Pei Linzhi is not an idiot, he soon noticed that His Highness was deliberately alienating him, he no longer wanted to let himself carry it, and he did not agree to ride a horse with him, even Ji Hai gave him the bath water, as long as he could go wherever he could If you let Ji Hai follow, you won't let yourself follow.He even discussed things like arranging the goods with Min Chong instead of himself.

All of a sudden, Pei Rinzhi discovered that someone could replace what he had done for His Highness in the past.He felt so uncomfortable that His Highness didn't need him anymore!

Did he discover his dirty thoughts, so he avoided himself?

After class that night, Pei Linzhi wanted to help Xiao Yu who had been standing for a long time, but found that Xiao Yu had given Ji Hai the gift. Xiao Yu smiled and said to him: "Rinzhi, I will leave it to you. Going back, I'm a little tired after standing for a long time."

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Lang?"

Xiao Yu waved his hand: "No, I forgot to take a nap in the afternoon, I'm a little tired now, I want to sleep. Go ahead."

What could Pei Linzhi say, he could only stand where he was, watching Ji Hai help Xiao Yu leave in a daze.His Highness used to listen to himself give everyone a lecture every night, but tonight he didn't even want to listen to what he had to say, how could he not be panicked.

After hastily telling everyone the story, Pei Linzhi rushed back to the house.Xiao Yu was sitting on a stone bench in the yard, chatting with Min Chong, his black hair was loose, he had just washed his hair, and was drying it now.

Pei Linzhi took a deep breath, and walked over: "Why did you wash your hair at night, you are not afraid of catching a cold."

Xiao Yu raised his head: "Oh, I planned to wash it tomorrow, but today my scalp was a little itchy, so I washed it first. The weather is warm, no problem."

Pei Linzhi reached out and stroked his hair: "I'll wipe it again for you."

"No need, I've already wiped it off." Xiao Yu said.

"Not yet dry." Pei Linzhi stubbornly went to get a dry handkerchief, and came over to wipe his hair.

Xiao Yu didn't expect that Pei Linzhi would wipe his hair in front of outsiders this time, and coughed in embarrassment: "I'd better go back to the house, Master Min, sit down slowly."

Min Chong drank his tea and watched the two leave, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Pei Linzhi was devastated.

After entering the room, Xiao Yu sat down on the chair in front of the table: "Please excuse me."

Pei Linzhi said unhappily: "Your Majesty shouldn't be blowing outside while your hair is still wet, it's cool at night."

Xiao Yu said, "Okay, I will remember next time."

Pei Linzhi wiped each strand of hair carefully, then suddenly knelt down beside Xiao Yu on one knee: "I offended you before Lin Zhi, please forgive me.",

Xiao Yu was startled: "Rinzhi, what are you doing? Get up quickly." He stretched out his hand to pull Pei Linzhi's arm.

Pei Linzhi didn't move at all: "If the Lord doesn't forgive Rinzhi, Rinzhi won't get up."

Xiao Yu sighed: "You didn't offend me, if there is something you don't want to forgive, get up quickly."

Pei Linzhi raised his head and looked at Xiao Yu: "Then why is your lord so alienated from me? Your lord once promised me that no matter when and where, he would never give birth to me. Now that your lord is like this, it makes me very sad."

Xiao Yu looked into Pei Rinzhi's eyes: "In my heart, Rinzhi is still the closest person. It's just that you and I are both old and often get tired of being together. It's not good, so I keep a little distance from you."

Pei Linzhi asked in a trembling voice, "Does your lord want to get married?"

Xiao Yu was shocked: "No, I don't even have a girl I like, what kind of wife will I marry?"

"Really not?" Pei Linzhi asked.

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No. It's Rinzhi, do you have a girl you like—"

"No, I don't have a favorite girl." Pei Linzhi answered without waiting for him to finish asking.

Xiao Yu laughed and said: "Our brothers are brothers and sisters, it seems that we still have to be single."

"Rinzhi doesn't want to marry a wife, but only wants to be by your husband's side." Pei Rinzhi said.

Xiao Yu said in his heart, are you scaring me? He waved his hand: "Forget it, it's too early for us to talk about it. If you meet a girl you like in the future, just bring it with you. I will organize a grand ceremony for you." wedding. Get up."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Pei Linzhi's mouth: "Linzhi thanked you sir."
