My son sleeps lightly

After all, they are brothers of compatriots, so the feeling between them must be unusual. With just one glance, Xiao Chong knew that Xiao Ao recognized him.

He could almost feel his heart beating into his throat, he wanted to speak, wanted to tell Xiao Ao that now was not the time, but his tongue seemed to be numb.

"Who is this little brother?" Xiao Ao asked the shopkeeper with a smile, "I didn't introduce you just now."

"Ah, you didn't hear that just now, didn't you?" The shopkeeper hurriedly put his hand in front of Xiao Chong, "This is the servant of our master's Ye family. His name is Xiao Chong, and you have the same surname," the shopkeeper told the joke again. Again, "Maybe a few decades ago."

Xiao Ao didn't show anything wrong at all, instead he smiled and replied, "Really, she looks a bit like me too, right?"

"It doesn't look like that," the foreman laughed, "You're almost black into a ball of coal, and the servants of the Ye family are all white."

"This is too much." Xiao Ao made an annoyed look.

"Actually, it's a bit like it," Ye Xi interjected, his eyes curled up,

"You're pretty too."

Xiao Ao was taken aback for a moment, he obviously didn't expect Ye Xi to repeat what he said just now, and even praised himself, a little surprised, then laughed, "Thank you, miss!"

Everyone had a good time again.

Maybe these low-level people always regard these high-ranking officials as superior, so they didn't expect that there are actually some of them who are so approachable. At first, everyone's wariness towards Ye Xi faded away a little bit.

Xiao Chong couldn't get into the atmosphere, although he was serving food, his eyes kept looking at Xiao Ao restlessly.

What's up with this kid's attitude.

His heart was urgent, and he was a little slow to deal with other things.

"Xiao Chong, what's wrong with you?" Ye Xi looked at him dissatisfied, "You really ignored me no matter what I told you today, I'm going back to complain to my brother!"

Xiao Chong suddenly asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Xi looked at him helplessly, opened and closed his mouth, shook his head, "I forgot everything!"

"But I will still sue my brother!" she added.

"Okay." Xiao Chong finally turned his head to look at Ye Xi, "I will sue you as Miss."

Ye Xi narrowed his eyes and wrinkled his nose, "Let's rely on my brother to spoil you."

These words made Xiao Chong relax a little.

He misses Ye Lan a little.

But he couldn't tell Ye Lan these words, but now, at this moment, even if he looked at Ye Lan's face, he would feel less tense.

At sunset, when the big stove was off, Ye Xicai asked Xiao Chong to bring the account books he read today and prepare to go home.

Just as they were about to step out of the door, Xiao Ao ran out, "Miss, you forgot about this!"

He handed over Ye Xi's handkerchief, deliberately choosing Xiao Chong's side.

Xiao Chong understood, took it with his hands first, and said to Ye Xi, "Miss..."

"I just used it to wipe the dust on the table," Ye Xi said shyly, "When you come back, have someone wash it for me, and I'll use it again."

"Okay." Xiao Chong put the handkerchief and a piece of paper behind him on his chest.

When they returned to the mansion, Ye Lan was waiting at the door with Ye Liang in his arms.

"Why did you come back so late," Ye Lan complained, "It's fine if you lose it, what if Xiao Chong loses it!?"

As soon as Ye Xi entered the mansion, he didn't have to pretend at all, he lifted his foot and kicked Ye Lan's calf, "I'm your own sister!"

"Hey," Ye Lan sighed. This little girl is quite energetic, and she may have to forge iron in person in the future, but he didn't dare to say that, and threw the sleeping Ye Liang on Ye Xi, "Hurry up!" , Send this big baby to my sister-in-law, and sleep on me all afternoon."

Ye Xi lifted Ye Liang upwards with all his strength, and then grinned at Ye Lan, "Use Liang Er again as an excuse for not reading."

"Hey you girl!" Ye Lan raised her hand as if to hit Ye Xi.

Ye Xi hurriedly lifted Ye Liang up, "Try it!"

Ye Lan smacked her lips, "I won't argue with you today," he turned to Xiao Chong, "I haven't even eaten any food, I'll save it for you."

Xiao Chong nodded, and followed Ye Lan back to their courtyard.

Leaving Ye Xi standing there, "What's the matter with the master and servant?"

"How is it, is the little girl tired?" Ye Lan asked while serving food for Xiao Chong.

"I feel that Miss is adapting quite well," Xiao Chong replied truthfully, "and getting along well with the shop assistants," he thought of Xiao Ao, and the corners of his mouth drooped again.

Ye Lan saw that something was wrong, "She adapted well, but you don't look very good. Just now I thought there was something wrong with you, so I asked you to follow along, are you tired?"

Xiao Chong shook his head, "No," he explained to Ye Lan somehow, and suddenly remembered the two books that he had brought back, "The shopkeeper taught me how to read the books, one lost his mind, and then he didn't follow."

"This little thing," Ye Lan smiled triumphantly, "Second Young Master will teach you!"

"You can?"

"I don't look down on anyone. I didn't have any toys when I was young, so I was proficient in my father's abacus," Ye Lan said with a smile, "If I had the heart to do business, it would be Ye Xi's turn now."

Just do what you said, Ye Lan set up a posture after the meal, set up the ledger and abacus, asked Xiao Chong to sit on the chair, and stood behind to guide.

Although Xiao Chong had the piece of paper hanging in his heart, he still cooperated with Ye Lan on the surface.

"Hey," Ye Lan flipped through the account book, "This book is all ironware sold loose."

"Any questions?"

"Look," Ye Lan pointed to the words on the account book, "they are all farm tools, or kitchen knives for cooking, and the accounts are pretty flat, but just selling these, why bother to send people from home to help in the store?" .”

Xiao Chong thought for a while, "So, I saw in the shop today that what they made didn't seem to be agricultural tools, but weapons like swords."

Ye Lan and Xiao Chong were relatively silent.

The Ye family made a fortune by making weapons for the army in Luobei City, but they were also trapped in Luobei City, and it was absolutely impossible for them to make weapons for other towns.

But if it was the army of Luobei City who placed the order, why bother to set up another name.

Ye Lan was startled, his father shouldn't have taken the risk and done something out of the ordinary.

Xiao Chong was even more disturbed. This He Ying cooperated with other towns to resell Wushi powder, and Ye Jinan also made weapons for other towns...

This Luobei City is probably going to be chaotic.

"You should keep this matter secret." Ye Lan told Xiao Chong, "I have to ask my father carefully."

"I know."

"Fortunately, you are the one who discovered this." Ye Lan breathed a sigh of relief, "If someone else..."

He smiled at Xiao Chong again, "Fortunately, he is one of our own."

But Xiao Chong became uneasy because of this smile, Ye Lan has never kept any secrets from herself.

and myself,

Xiao Chong didn't dare to continue thinking, his secret was too big and too deep, if he told Ye Lan, it would only hurt him.

And because of this secret, there are more secrets surrounding it. Even if he wanted to tell Ye Lan, he didn't know where to start.

He unconsciously put his hands on his chest, here, there is one more thing that cannot be said.

Ye Lan's finger drew a circle on the abacus, and now he was in a mess, and he didn't pay attention to Xiao Chong's abnormality at all.

Both of them held their own concerns and fell silent.

The candlelight on the table flickered slightly, and a moth flapped its wings and slammed into it. Only it knew where to go.
