Don't go back to hometown

Back at Jiang's mansion, Jiang Xianyu was a little lost.

He found that he had relived his life and was still such a failure.

On the day he was reborn and came back, he told Xie Cheng that he didn't intend to go out into the world anymore, but was thinking about what he wanted to do and what he wanted.

However, I haven't figured it out yet.

Even if he could use the advantage of rebirth to change many regrets in his previous life, he still couldn't find the meaning of his existence in two lifetimes.

In his previous life, he was not a good son, nor a good brother, and he was not worthy of Xie Cheng's deep affection.

What about this life?

He could try his best to be a good son, but he was still not a good brother, let alone a suitable...lover.

As for the future, ideals, meritorious service or career, he is even more confused.

"Master, do you want to wash up?"

The boy's voice brought Jiang Xianyu back to his senses, "...get two buckets of cold water."

"Master, it's cold at night, let's add some warm water."

Qingzhu has been by Jiang Xianyu's side for many years, knowing that her young master has been practicing martial arts all year round and has a hot foundation, and he always bathes in cold water in summer.

But now that the night is dark and the wind is blowing, I'm afraid I'll catch cold if I use cold water.

Jiang Xianyu said, "No, just cold water."

He needs to be calm and calm.

Although Qingzhu couldn't persuade him, he still quietly mixed some warm water, not daring to add too much, just keeping it at a level of neither lukewarm nor cool.

Jiang Xianyu didn't realize it, he took off his robe to reveal his lean figure, stepped into the bathtub, and buried his whole body in the water.

He held his breath, his past and present, and everything about Xie Cheng flashed through his mind...

The feeling of suffocation gradually came, and the torture scene of the wet paper surface suddenly flashed in my mind, Jiang Xianyu suddenly got out of the water, clasping the edge of the tub tightly with both hands.

He gasped violently, and fear flashed across his eyes.

He has always been afraid to recall those horrible experiences.

After the water surface of the bathtub oscillated, it gradually returned to calm.

Jiang Xianyu's face was reflected in the water, the tips of his hair were dripping with water, and he looked frightened and lost his soul.

He took a deep breath to calm down, got up and changed into clean clothes.

His long hair was still wet, but he went out and sat on the wall outside Xie Cheng's study all night.

Through the window, you can see the shadows of the people in the house illuminated by the candlelight.

Xie Cheng didn't go to rest, but stayed at his desk until dawn.

As long as he was busy, Jiang Xianyu watched him for as long as possible.

Until the moon was setting and the stars were sinking, Jiang Xianyu sneezed, wrapped his single clothes tightly around his body, and left Xie's mansion while no one noticed.

Before dawn, Jiang Xianyu woke up the Jiang family housekeeper and accountant who were sleeping, and said that he wanted to learn to read the account books.

The steward was very surprised, "Why does the young master suddenly want to learn how to calculate accounts?"

Jiang Xianyu: "I can't learn?"

The steward smiled awkwardly: "That's not..."

Jiang Xianyu understood why he was embarrassed, and said: "It's okay to tell my parents, anyway, if I want to learn, they won't stop me."

This is true.

The butler also knows that as long as the young master does not deviate from the scriptures, the master and wife are willing to indulge him.

Butler: "Small, let the accountant send over the account books of the shop and the farm."

Jiang Xianyu: "What about the Escort's? Especially the account books for the Xie family's shipments."

In addition to the Ping An Escort, the Jiang family also has some other industries. Although they are not as good as the Xie family, they still have a lot of income.

The jade materials produced by the Xiejiayu Mine and the finished gold, silver and jade ornaments were all transported by their Ping An Escort.

Darts should have a list of items and an estimate, and they must not be faked.

But the housekeeper showed embarrassment: "The account books of the escort bureau can only be retrieved with the consent of the master or the young master, and the younger ones dare not make decisions without authorization."

Jiang Xianyu ran out immediately: "I'm going to find my brother."

Jiang Baizhou had just changed his clothes and was about to practice martial arts. Hearing Jiang Xianyu's request, he was keenly aware of the problem: "What happened to the Xie family?"

Jiang Xianyu: "Well, the account books are tricky. Xie Cheng said that someone resold Xie's jade materials and gold, silver and jade ornaments, and the income of the shop did not match. The time is not short, and the amount is not small."

"Selling jade?"

Jiang Baizhou frowned. He also thought of the fact that his family transported the jade material for the Xie family. For so many years, the Xie family's escorts have never had any problems. Something went wrong.

But just to be cautious, Jiang Baizhou said to Jiang Xianyu: "Wait for me for a while, let's go to the Escort together."

The escorts of the Xie family have been with them for many years, not every time Jiang Baizhou is in charge, but they are always accompanied by the old escorts of the Jiang family.

These old bodyguards are all uncles who followed his father through life and death.

Jiang Baizhou thought they could be trusted.

Jiang Xianyu also thought of this, and his expression became a little heavy.

On this day, both Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng reported leave to the academy.

Jiang Xianyu followed his brother and the accountant to learn how to read the account books, and checked his own accounts.

Fortunately, there is no problem with my own accounts.

Jiang Xianyu asked the accountant to copy the accounts of the transactions with Xie's family, and went to Xie's mansion with these at noon.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Xianyu originally wanted to ask Xie Cheng for credit and tell him that he could help, but he didn't see Xie Cheng when he entered the room.

The accountant who was busy in the house raised his head and said: "The young master has been busy all night, just now the madam came over and advised the young master to go back and rest."

Jiang Xianyu put down the account book in his hand, "Here, this is the account of my bodyguard agency's delivery of jade materials and finished products. Check it out and see if it's useful."

The shopkeepers and accountants of the Xie family were slightly surprised, they didn't expect Young Master Jiang to disclose the accounts of the Ping An Escort to their young owner.

The business accounts are confidential, and it is logical that they will never be disclosed to outsiders.

Everyone looked at Jiang Xianyu with different eyes, somewhat respectful and somewhat gratified.

It's really not in vain that their young master treats Young Master Jiang so well.

Jiang Xianyu didn't know what they were thinking, so he put down the account book and went to find Xie Cheng.

Shimo stayed outside Xie Cheng's house, and when he saw Jiang Xianyu, he called out "Little Master" in a low voice.

Jiang Xianyu also lowered his voice: "Your young master is asleep?"

Shimo: "Just fell asleep."

Jiang Xianyu: "Can I have food?"

Shimo: "I drank the chicken soup stewed by my wife and used less than half a bowl of rice."

Jiang Xianyu nodded, and whispered, "I'll go in and have a look."

Shimo gently opened the door and let Jiang Xianyu in.

The light was strong at noon, in order to let Xie Cheng sleep well, Shimo put down all the window screens.

But because of the hot weather, the windows were not closed, the bed curtains were not put down, and there was an ice basin in front of the bed.

Xie Cheng was originally lying on his back, but he seemed to be startled by the sound of the door opening, so he turned around and lay down on the inside.

Jiang Xianyu sat by the bed, guarding Xie Cheng's sleeping face just like the more than 300 nights when he was a lonely soul in his previous life.

At that time, Xie Cheng usually couldn't sleep well, and sometimes he would have nightmares, murmuring Jiang Xianyu's nickname, and then repeating over and over again:

"I'm late, I'm late..."

Jiang Xianyu had a sour nose, raised his head and blinked.

Every time he recalled, he felt that he was not worthy of Xie Cheng's affection, and regretted leaving home impulsively.

If I had asked Xie Cheng personally before leaving, maybe everything would have been different.

But now, he couldn't help being timid, he didn't dare to stay away, and he didn't dare to approach.

He couldn't help thinking, if Xie Cheng, how would he choose?

……

Xie Cheng had a headache when he opened his eyes.

After staying up all night, I fell asleep for a short time. Not only did I not have enough rest, but I was dizzy instead.

But things weren't settled yet, and he didn't have time to sleep on.

Just when he sat up, he saw the boy who was sleeping beside his bed.

Jiang Xianyu sat on the ground with his legs bent, his head resting on his arms lying on the edge of the bed, wondering if he was not sleeping well, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his cheeks were a little red.

Xie Cheng frowned slightly, reached out and touched his face——

Start with a piece of hot.

"Know ink!"

Xie Cheng got out of bed immediately, carried Jiang Xianyu to the bed, heard Shimo push the door in, and ordered: "Go and ask the doctor."

Shimo was startled, looked at Jiang Xianyu whose cheeks were flushed, and ran out.
