The Young Emperor and the Fearless

In the Chang family, except for one Chang Yue who never saw anyone, there was none of the other masters to mess with.The servants are worried and do things carefully, for fear of making mistakes and being scolded.

After working in the Chang family for a long time, everyone has developed the habit of obeying what they say. The master never says a word 'no' when he talks.

Therefore, Lu Li had no choice but to obey this distinguished guest of Mr. Chang.

From the east yard to the front yard, you have to pass through the yard where Chang Yue lived.When passing by, Lu Li was still thinking that Mr. Chang might still be in the house.However, the next moment, Chang Yue came back from the outside.

Chang Yue was wearing Chang Chao's brocade robe, which must have been taken care of by his servants, and he looked more energetic than before.He seemed to be coming from the front yard, Mr. He came to congratulate him, he was going to greet him.

Lu Li bowed to him and said, "Young Master."

Chang Yue was absent-minded while walking, and he only noticed Lu Li when he spoke, and he was startled, like a mouse seeing a cat and avoiding it.

Lu Li was confused, and watched helplessly as someone ran away into his courtyard door, and with a bang, he hung up the bolt.

Chang Yue looked like he was afraid of something.

Lu Li didn't think much, didn't dare to delay, and went straight to the front yard.

Sure enough, Master Chang was still talking to Mr. He, each with a cup of tea in hand, chatting about everything, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.It was as if Mr. He brought people to dinner that day, and took Chang Chao away after drinking and eating, as if it never happened.

Lu Li didn't know how to interrupt and pass on the message, he wandered back and forth, and was spotted by Chang Ning, who first asked, "What... are you doing?"

Lu Li has worked in Chang's family for four years, but Master Chang still doesn't know his name.

Lu Li said: "Master Chang, that distinguished guest from the East Courtyard is anxious to find you."

Hearing this, Chang Ning frowned, and after a while, he said, "I see, you step back."

He Mao put down his teacup, and said: "When did the Chang family have guests? Master Chang, this is your fault. Guests come first. Since there are guests at home, why don't you introduce them? Let's have a cup of tea together, so as not to neglect the guests." ah."

Chang Ning said: "Lord He, I'm really sorry, the guest at home is a relative from my hometown, and he came to stay with me for a few days, and this relative is sick, so it's inconvenient to see him."

He Maodao: "Dear relatives, why have you never heard that Mr. Chang has relatives?"

Chang Ning said: "He lives in a farmhouse and has very little contact with me."

He Mao nodded and said: "Since you have something to do, I won't bother you, Mr. Chang, take your leave."

It would have been a great honor for the Chang family to welcome the prefect before, and Chang Ning would definitely invite him to dinner again and again.But now, not to mention that He Mao took Chang Chao away in public and did not give him the slightest bit of face, and the old man called him, there was really no delay.

Chang Ning watched He Mao leave Chang's house and hurried to the east courtyard.When he arrived, he dismissed all the servants and walked in by himself.

It was four days after Juxie received the medicinal materials.As soon as he got it, he borrowed the back kitchen of the prefect's mansion and cooked it.

This process lasted all day. During this period, Su Yu came to see it a few times, and it smelled very pungent at first, but the smell of the medicine was much milder a few times later.

Ju Xie added more firewood, his clothes and face were stained with dust, but he was calm and composed, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.

At dinner, the eunuch came over with Su Yu and stood watching for a while.Ju Xie patted the ashes on her body, and said, "If you are bored, don't go shopping."

Su Yu said: "We just want to ask you to eat. You have occupied the back kitchen by yourself, and the food can only be bought from Manxianglou. After a while, it's time to bring it back."

Ju Xie said: "No need, you can't leave here, you can use it yourself."

He Mao also said: "Young Master Ju, people are like iron and rice is steel. You have to eat rice. You didn't eat much at noon. If you can't leave, I'll ask someone to bring you some."

Ju Xie said: "The medicine is almost ready, there is no need to send it."

When he was asked to have lunch at noon, he kept refusing. This Mr. Ju is also a stubborn person.

However, when it was dark and Juxie put out the fire, he began to work on the congealed ointment again, without stopping for a moment.

A moment later, Su Yu came over with a warm meal, and Ju Xie's knuckle-boned hands were dyed jet black.

Su Yu said: "Young Master Juxie, aren't you hungry?"

Ju Xie glanced at him and said expressionlessly, "I'm full just seeing you."

Su Yu: "..."

Ju Xie had no intention of talking to him, and he couldn't move his hands to get the bowl, so he concentrated on smearing the black ointment on the oil paper.

Su Yu couldn't understand what he was doing. Even though Ju Xie ignored him, he still couldn't help asking: "Why do these ointments do this? Is it to be dried?"

It is true that it should be pasted on oiled paper to dry, but it is to be dried.

After Juxie wiped each piece of oiled paper, they spread them all out on the stove. The fire in the stove was neither too hot nor too small, which was just right.

Su Yu said: "Young Master Juxie, are you going to sell the ointment, so much?"

Ju Xie washed her hands with clean water, and then said: "This is not a finished ointment, there is still a process before it is completed. But it can't be done tonight, and the ointment can be dried tomorrow before continuing."

Su Yu said: "Mr. Li may not arrive in two or three days, so it needs to be done so early in advance?"

Ju Xie said: "Prepare it in advance, in case he comes back early, he can use it directly."

Speaking of it, Su Yu was thinking about reconciliation. He had been away from Heli for such a long time in the past ten years. Although he lived a leisurely life, he always felt that something was missing, and his heart was empty.

If Heli and the others speed up their journey, they might really be able to come back early.

It would be nice to come back sooner.

Su Yu suddenly had the urge to ride a horse to pick up someone, but...

Ju Xie said: "You should take care of your own affairs, those girls in Hualou, have you persuaded them?"

Su Yu: "..."

Chang Ning said that he would sew a new dress for Chang Yue.

On this day, the tailor came to the door and took Chang Yue's measurements in the courtyard.

The tailor praised: "Master Chang's figure is better than most people's."

Since Chang Yue became a Jieyuan, except for his father who is still angry with him, he can hear other people's praise every day. After hearing it for a few days, he is still not used to it.

Chang Yue didn't respond, so the tailor had no choice but to find something to say: "Master Chang, I have cut clothes for countless people, but I have never done it for Xie Yuan. Today I am invited by Mr. Chang to make a robe for Mr. Chang. It is an honor. If the Eldest Young Master still needs it in the future, I will only charge half of the money for this robe, and I will congratulate the Eldest Young Master for winning the Yuan Dynasty, and wish the Eldest Young Master every step of the way."

The tailor has a sweet mouth, and if Chang Ning was around, he would give him a compliment, which is a compliment.And Chang Yue didn't take Chang Ning for granted, and replied: "Thank you, you have a heart."

The tailor rejoiced and said: "The day before yesterday, a young man came to my place to make clothes. The young man is a scholar and his family is fairly well off. He can also be the No. [-] Scholar. That son, he also participated in the provincial examination this time, but unfortunately he failed the exam. He was in a bad mood. He dared to say anything and was not afraid of offending others. However, I went back in a choked voice. Reading, being able to solve the problem, that is your ability, young master. Those who failed the exam, except for being quick-spoken, they can do nothing."

The tailor wanted to please Mr. Chang, so he deliberately mentioned him to defend him in front of others, but Mr. Chang was not only not relieved, but his complexion became worse and worse. In the end, until the tailor finished measuring his figure, he didn't reply to him again.

The tailor didn't know where he said something wrong, as if he had offended Chang Yue, he collected his belongings, saluted respectfully, tried to make amends, and said: "Forgive me, the young one, the young one is not very good at talking, if the old one You don't like what you hear, young master, don't take it to heart."

Only then did Chang Yue say: "Oh, it's all right."

Chang Yue didn't mean to blame the tailor, he just felt guilty.

After the tailor left, Chang Yue was full of thoughts. He stood in front of a water tank, looked down at himself, and was a little dazed.He knew that what his father did was wrong, and what he did halfway was wrong, but now, there is no turning back.

"My lord, the tea is cold, I'll replace it with a hot pot."

Chang Yue hummed, looked up, saw Lu Li, panicked, wanted to stay away from him, and kicked the water tank in a panic. When he fell, he wanted to use his hands to support the edge of the tank to stabilize his body, but it was too slippery. He jumped in, half of his body was wet.

"Young master!" Lu Li put down the teapot, went to help Chang Yue up, "I'll help you go back to the house and change your clothes."

Chang Yue pushed him away, and suddenly shouted: "I don't need you."

Lu Li was taken aback by the yelling, and he paused for a moment while maintaining his supporting posture.

Chang Yue's eyes flickered, he bit his lips, left a word, and left alone.

Chang Yue said, "I am indeed not as good as you."

Lu Li was baffled when he heard this, and didn't understand what Chang Yue meant.

After being in a trance for a long time, he shook his head and tidied up the courtyard messed up by Chang Yue.
