I am not a good person

Zhao Zenian wiped his face and said, "You sprayed my face with saliva."

Ah Xiang blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Zhao Zenian was teasing on purpose, so he said with a smile, "Why don't you go wash my face?"

"Yes yes yes." Ah Xiang hurried out.

Walking outside the door, Zhao Zenian stretched his waist greatly. He didn't get enough sleep and his head was a little dizzy.

After washing his face, he asked Ah Xiang to bring him lunch again, and ate slowly. Ah Xiang could wait patiently, but seeing that he was not in a hurry, he went out holding back his resentment.

When it got dark, Ah Xiang came to report again, saying that Aunt Ying was going to deliver dinner, but she was still stopped by the guards.

Feeling that it was almost time, Zhao Zenian walked out of the gate of Xu's mansion generously, went to the street to buy some food, then climbed over the wall and went straight to the small ancestral hall, hiding in the shadow of the trees outside the gate.

There were two servants standing outside the gate of the ancestral hall, looking tired.

Zhao Zenian guessed that they had been watching for a whole day, and they were inevitably tired, so he lowered his head and picked up two small stones on the ground, and threw them. The stones hit the two of them on the shoulders. Eyes have been dull.

Even so, he did not enter through the main entrance, but turned over a window at the back.Once inside, he closed the window: "Xu Yuan, it's me."

There were no lanterns in the ancestral hall, so Xu Yuan knelt on the hard floor, with tablets of various sizes in front of him, and said in amazement: "Zenian, why are you here, be careful not to be discovered by my father and the others!"

"I tapped the acupoints for the people outside." Zhao Zenian frowned: "There are futons, why don't you use them?"

Smelling the aroma of food, Xu Yuan knelt down on his lap in a relaxed manner: "Father won't let me. You'd better go back, it won't be good if you get caught."

Zhao Zenian put the food in front of him one by one: "There is a lot of nonsense, let's eat quickly."

Xu Yuan's tears came as soon as he said it: "Zenian..."

Zhao Zenian closed his eyes for a moment, feeling a bit unbearable, forced to suppress his anger, and said as gently as possible: "Can you be stronger, can you be tougher? As a man who stands up to heaven and earth, you should also let go of your posture, okay? "

The room returned to its previous silence, and Xu Yuan was so blocked that he couldn't speak.

Zhao Zenian saw that he lowered his head with a wounded expression, coughed lightly, and asked, "Do you regret it?"

"What?" Xu Yuan raised his head.

"Your father treats you like this, the eldest lady treats you like this, and your brother doesn't get close to you. Do you regret coming back?"

Xu Yuan let out a chuckle and said, "What is this? Compared with my previous life, this is nothing at all."

Zhao Zenian suddenly felt speechless, worthless, really worthless!

He wanted to say something more, but there was a slight noise outside the window. He turned his head and stared sharply at one of the windows. There was a faint moonlight tonight, and there was a blurry figure on the window paper.

In the darkness, the sound of Xu Yuan swallowing his saliva was very clear.

As soon as the window opened, both people in the room breathed a sigh of relief, the person who turned in turned out to be Feng Yueyi, holding a small lunch box in his hand.

Seeing the room clearly, Feng Yueyi was also taken aback: "It seems that I was a step too late."

Zhao Zenian sat on a futon with his back facing the table full of tablets, "It's not too late, this kind of gloomy place needs more people to be lively."

Xu Yuan ate the food brought by the two, tears flickering.

Even Feng Yueyi, who has a good temper like Feng Yueyi, couldn't bear it, so he quickly changed the subject: "Xu Yuan, I want to hear a story, please make up one for me."

Xu Yuan nodded, and said while eating: "Then let me talk about my life together with my mother. Thinking about the past, my mother grew vegetables by herself and sold them on the street. Being devalued by others is worthless. I watched from the side, really..."

In the darkness, Zhao Zenian curled his lips recklessly, and when he rolled his eyes, he saw Feng Yueyi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and raised it forward, but Xu Yuan didn't notice, and he put the handkerchief back again .

Zhao Zenian felt it was funny and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Yuan vigorously wiped away the tears that flowed out, and stubbornly raised his head to look at the roof beam: "Later, my mother earned money by washing clothes for other people's houses. One winter, she fell ill, and the family disliked her for being too slow. I left it to others to do it. On New Year’s Eve, we didn’t even have enough food..."

When Xu Yuan was full, he said almost the same thing, and asked Feng Yueyi: "Have you found the person you were looking for?"

Feng Yueyi shook his head, as if he was used to it: "It's not that easy."

A few days later, the news of Fuguiju's auction spread all over the streets and alleys of Danxi Town. As a prominent figure in Danxi Town, the Xu family naturally wanted to go. Yuan Hui suddenly became kind and asked Xu Yuan to follow Xu Yuan. Shaoliang and Xu Fengyan went together, saying that they had learned a lot.

Zhao Zenian waited for Xu's father and son to go out, followed by them, and arrived at Fuguiju first. Hua Shangxue had booked a table on the second floor, and Liu Zikun ushered him in through the back door.

There are many rooms separated by the railing on the second floor for the use of today's guests. Hua Shangxue paid a lot of money to reserve the room opposite the auction stage.

When Zhao Zenian came up, there were several plates of various snacks and a pot of tea on the table. Hua Shangxue was sitting by the table in a bright red dress. The petals of various colors on the clothes were blown together by the wind, and followed her legs. Swinging rhythmically, it seems to come alive.

"Fourth, come here." Hua Shangxue waved to him.

Zhao Zenian made up his mind, walked over and sat down, no wonder he was stunned, it was Hua Shangxue who was charming enough, his gaze lit up the whole room.

Today's Fuguiju looks different from usual. In order to hold the auction smoothly, the scene was cleared in advance, and there is no trace of fireworks when you step into the door. In the four corners under the specially built auction stage, four worth Expensive palace lanterns illuminate the entire ceiling lobby from the first to third floors.

Not long after, people came one after another.

Zhao Zenian leaned his arms on the railing and looked downstairs.

The auction platform was surrounded by red brocade, and there were tables and chairs on three sides outside the circle. Zhou Qingtian, who was rich and powerful, sat in the center of the auction platform, and Xu Yuan, a country bumpkin, would just stand there and stare blankly when he entered the door.

Seeing Xu Yuan, Zhou Qingtian's eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Xu Yuan, Young Master Xu!"

Xu Yuan stared in confusion, looking left and right.

Zhou Qingtian sighed helplessly and raised his arms: "Here it is!"

Xu Yuan finally saw it, and nodded with a smile. Xu Shaoliang couldn't help but turn cold when he saw it, but he led Xu Fengyan to Zhou Qingtian's place.

Xu Yuan hurriedly followed, and when he got there, Zhou Qingtian pushed him to sit on the chair next to him: "Master Xu, I really didn't expect you to come today!"

Xu Yuan stood up anxiously: "Master Zhou, I don't know whose seat this seat is..."

Zhou Qingtian pressed his shoulder hard and said with a smile, "You foolish child, this is where your home is!"

Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then sat down, raised his head, only to find that Xu Shaoliang and Xu Fengyan's faces were both ugly, and they both glared at him angrily.

Zhao Zenian looked at it jokingly, the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to laugh.

Xu Yuan didn't know why, so he swallowed nervously.

Then the housekeeper Xu Hai couldn't stand it anymore, and bowed his head to his ear and said something, Xu Yuan's expression changed, like a monkey whose tail was burnt, jumped up and quickly stood aside.

Xu Fengyan snorted coldly, lifted his clothes and sat in the seat he gave up, Xu Shaoliang also sat down next to Xu Fengyan.

Xu Hai pulled Xu Yuan to stand behind their chairs, and said, "Young Master, I'm really sorry. But according to the usual practice, the Xu family only has two seats."

Xu Yuan's face was full of embarrassment, and the tips of his ears were red.

"Fourth..."

Zhao Zenian retracted his head, put down the curtain to block it, and sat back: "Sister Hua..."

Hua Shangxue concentrated on peeling melon seeds, and said, "This task is not worth mentioning. If I had known it earlier, I would not have come."

Zhao Zenian heard the complaint in her tone, smiled and said, "I'm lonely here alone!"

Hua Shangxue whimpered downstairs.

Zhao Zenian shook his head, with a low voice: "I saw the shadow of myself in this person. Overthrow all a person's original ideas, make him doubt the world and even his own life, do it to the extreme, and try again. Hit and hit! Interesting, don't you think?"

Sister Hua could clearly hear his evil eyes and the maliciousness in his words, and she couldn't help but curl her lips into a faint smile.

Zhao Zenian grabbed her peeled melon seeds and threw them into his mouth, then moved them to the railing.

The steward of Fuguiju is apologizing to Xu Shaoliang: "Master Xu, I'm really sorry! We didn't know that the young master would come, so we didn't prepare for his place."

Before Xu Shaoliang said anything, Zhou Qingtian stood up first, pointed to the empty chair on the right and said, "It's okay, I still have a seat here, and it happens that my wife can't come, so let Eldest Young Master Xu sit here!"

Xu Yuan waved his hand hastily, Zhou Qingtian couldn't help but pull him over and sit on the chair.

Xu Fengyan cast a strange sideways glance, and said, "Master Zhou gave up his seat, why don't you thank him?"

Xu Yuan suddenly realized, turned his head and said, "Master Zhou, thank you."

Zhou Qingtian smiled: "Follow me, you're welcome!" He leaned into Xu Yuan's ear, muttered a few words, and then made a wink.

Xu Yuan half-understood, secretly glanced at Xu Shaoliang and Xu Fengyan, and nodded silently.

In less than a stick of incense, the auction started, and Zhao Zenian simply moved a chair over to sit and watch.

Zhou Qingtian was very enthusiastic towards Xu Yuan. Every time an auction item was placed, he would whisper to Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan would only nod and shake his head at first, but gradually he talked more. Zhou Qingtian listened to him and occasionally showed admiration on his face.

At halftime, it was not as quiet as it was at the beginning. The discussion became louder and the rhythm slowed down.

In a heap of yellow cloth, there is a piece of porcelain with a narrow top and a wide bottom. The glaze color is bright, revealing a layer of shadow under the light from the palace lantern, making the two women painted on the vase look three-dimensional.
