Zhao Xiaoyu entered the study with an absent-minded expression.

"What's wrong, you look so bad?" Yuan Ye asked.

"Oh...it's nothing, Brother Yu said you were looking for me?"

Yuan Ye glanced outside the door, "He didn't come over, did he?"

"no, what happened?"

Yuan Ye got up and passed Zhao Xiaoyu, half of his body leaned out of the door. There was the sound of a wooden bucket fetching water from the well. He closed the door, turned around and hugged him into his arms.

"I haven't seen you for so long, don't you miss me?"

Zhao Xiaoyu stiffened for a moment, then relaxed again.He heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately, everything was in his wild imagination, Yuanye still likes him.

Zhao Xiaoyu put his head on him, and gently stroked the clothes on his chest with his fingers.After walking in the wilderness for so long, he naturally missed him.

"Huh? Why don't you talk?" Yuanye pushed him away a little, carefully observing his expression, "What's the matter? You've been preoccupied today."

Zhao Xiaoyu blinked, "It's nothing, just, I miss you so much."

Yuan Ye smiled, stretched out his index finger and tapped his head lightly, "It's getting more and more stupid."

"I made a lot of clothes for you in Fucheng, you'll definitely look good in them!" Yuan Ye thought for a while, "I'd better give you the simple ones first, and we'll wear the good ones after we get married. Come here, let's wear them first. The account of selling stewed meat is settled. It has been more than two months, and the money you have earned should be enough. Wait a few days and I will prepare something to go to your house to propose marriage?"

Hearing what Yuan Ye said, Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't be happy, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait a few more months, the money we owe is still far behind."

Yuanye was stunned, "Why? Is the stewed meat business not good? I heard from your brother that they are sold out every day..."

"Well... when you left, we borrowed some more." Zhao Xiaoyu secretly glanced at Yuan Ye, and pointed out the pages of the account book to him, "I borrowed it twice in June, yes, um... three Two and two hundred wen, once in July, two and two."

Hearing this, Yuan Ye felt furious, "Your brother gambled again?!"

Yuan Ye's voice was a bit harsh, and Zhao Xiaoyu was taken aback, "No, no! My brother never gambled again. This money is used to buy clothes, shoes, and quilts for Brother Yu. Don't be angry. , Brother Yu didn’t bring anything, and we didn’t have any money, so we had to borrow some from the account. I made an agreement with my brother, it’s our loan..." He lowered his voice as he spoke, fearing that he would get angry in the wild.He has never used the 100 taels that Yuan Ye gave him, and they only used the silver from selling stewed pork.

With Zhao Xiaoyu's appearance of doing something wrong, the wilderness couldn't get angry no matter how big he was, he hugged him into his arms, hating that iron could not become steel, "You know who he is! Just buy it for him." People who buy this and that don’t even know they’re cheated.”

Zhao Xiaoyu opened his mouth, wanting to say that brother Yu didn't lie to them.But Yuanye is different in his heart. He is very smart and knows everything.Zhao Xiaoyu only heard his own voice asking, "Why do you say that? Isn't Brother Yu sold by his father and Ah Mu?"

"It's not that simple. Do you think he looks like a mud-legged kid who grew up in the village and is used to doing farm work? Not at all, right? I think he might be..." Yuan Ye lowered his voice and whispered his doubts in his ear said.

Zhao Xiaoyu frowned, "Even so, he is very pitiful. What's more, my brother... seems to like Brother Yu."

Yuanye raised his eyebrows, "Of course it's different. If he was a farmer, it would be fine for your brother to marry him. But he is like this now, he can't lift his shoulders or lift his hands. Your brother can't afford him! He won't be willing either." Marry your brother and live a hard life."

"What if, what if he wants to?"

"Then like this..." Yuan Ye leaned over and whispered his plan in his ear, whether he was going to stay in such a big trouble.

Zhao Xiaoyu nodded in a daze after hearing that, Yuanye's handling is the most appropriate, if Brother Yu is not lying and is willing to stay and live a good life, they will naturally help him.

"Ah!" Suddenly there was a loud noise outside, and at the same time, there was brother Yu's scream.

Both were startled.

"Go and have a look." Yuan Ye said.

The two opened the door and ran to the front yard, only to see brother Yu who was drenched in the yard, with a wooden bucket lying on the ground, which seemed to have been accidentally knocked over while fetching water.

Zhao Xiaoyu took his hand, "Brother Yu, are you okay?"

Brother Yu raised a pitiful smile, shook his head and said, "I just want to fetch water to wash my clothes..." Then he turned his eyes to the wilderness.

Summer's clothes were light and thin, and he was wearing white satin. The wet clothes were completely attached to his body, revealing his wicker-like slender figure without a doubt.Zhao Xiaoyu also noticed that there was something wrong with his appearance, and quickly said, "You are completely soaked, go into the house and change into clean clothes, and I will wash the rest for you."

Brother Yu nodded, lowered his head and took a peek in the direction of the wilderness, and found that he had been standing still, so he couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and walked into the house quickly.

Yuan Ye didn't feel that he should avoid it. Although he liked homosexuality, he didn't like a sissy like Brother Yu who had no flesh.After this battle, he really felt that Brother Yu had been raised and abandoned.The body of the lady, the life of the servant girl.If he hadn't been serving as a concubine for a rich family of gentry, he would have had no choice but to return to a brothel.If he himself is a bit more aggressive, he can still change his fate, but he has no intention of working hard to learn life skills at all.The wilderness is very cold, and he is not the savior.Reforming Zhao Xiaohu is a last resort, so what does it matter to him whether Brother Yu lives or dies?

Seeing Yuan Ye still standing, Zhao Xiaoyu gave him a sideways look, "Isn't it pretty?"

"Ah?" Yuan Ye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed, and said in a low voice, "Okay, you, will you be jealous?"

Zhao Xiaoyu blushed, lowered her head, picked up a piece of clothing and rubbed it.

Yuanye pulled him up and loudly said deliberately, "Let him do it himself, we haven't finished reconciling the accounts yet! Come on!"

After speaking, without waiting for Brother Yu in the room to react, he dragged him to the study at the back.

The two really stayed in the study all afternoon, Zhao Xiaoyu read, Yuan Ye calculated, and soon the account for selling braised pork was calculated.Originally, the Zhao brothers had already repaid the loan of ten taels, and made more than one tael.But they borrowed another five taels and two hundred wen, and now they are still short of more than four taels of silver.

Yuan Ye was about to die of anger, and made up his mind to clean up Zhao Xiaohu once Brother Yu was dismissed!

Yuanye didn't want to let him go after finishing the calculation, so he took out the copybook bought in Fucheng and taught Zhao Xiaoyu to copy it.Zhao Xiaoyu is very enthusiastic about learning to write, and writes carefully with a brush stroke by stroke.Yuanye held his hand and taught him to write a few characters, and then let him write by himself.

"Do you think this character is better written..." Zhao Xiaoyu happily turned to Yuan Ye, but fell silent when he saw the portrait he had drawn.

For a while, the sour emotions came up again, but Yuanye's previous performance made him feel a little guilty. Yuanye is so good, how could he doubt him again!Zhao Xiaoyu simply asked, "Why did you draw a portrait of Brother Yu?"

Yuan Ye's painting skills are not bad, and his facial features and expressions are all in place, which can be called vivid.Anyone who knew Brother Yu would recognize him in the portrait.

Yuan Ye carefully finished the last stroke, and replied, "It will be useful at night, I will use it to scare him."

In the evening, Yuan Ye called Brother Yu into the study.

Yuan Ye finally set his sights on him, Brother Yu was very happy.But Yuan Ye sat behind the desk, looking businesslike.

Oh, pretending!

"Zhao Xiaohu didn't speak very clearly about your matter before, please tell me again." Yuan Ye said.

Brother Yu had no choice but to repeat the original rhetoric again, and finally pressed the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

"Which village is your family from? What's your first name? What's your father's name?" Yuan Ye continued to ask.

Brother Yu frowned, and said in embarrassment, "I can't go back, my father, he will definitely sell me to a brothel again!"

"I'm just asking people to inquire, and I won't let people know that you are here. You also know that if your family finds us and accuses us of a good brother who kidnapped and trafficked, we will be arrested and sent to prison."

Brother Yu rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of someone, "My family is from Wujia Village, Lushan Town. My name is Wu Xiaoyu, and my father... everyone in my father's village calls him Wu Laoer."

This Wu Xiaoyu was also the brother who was sold to Cuihonglou, but he was too hot-tempered, and died of illness after being taught a few times by the old bustard.

"Hmm..." Yuan Ye touched the bridge of his nose and took out the portrait, "If I use this portrait to search for people, they won't know you, right?"

Brother Yu turned pale when he saw the portrait, "No! They will definitely come and arrest me when they see the portrait, I don't want to go back! Please!"

"Then let me ask again, are you Wu Xiaoyu from Wujia Village, Lushan Town?" Yuanye shook the portrait.

Brother Yu lowered his head and didn't answer, his face was pale and he kept crying.The Zhao family brothers were all sent out by Yuan Ye with excuses, and no one can help him now.

"If you don't tell me, I'll take this portrait and go to the county to ask one by one, especially those brothel Qin Lou. If someone bumps into them by accident, I won't hide it for you. If you tell the truth, I won't It will make things difficult for you, and help you find a way out." Yuanye said coldly.

Brother Yu gritted his teeth bitterly, "No, I'm not Wu Xiaoyu, I lied to you before! I was sold to a brothel by my family when I was four years old, and I grew up there. I don't remember. I told you everything, you keep your word..."

Yuan Ye asked him, "Are you willing to marry Zhao Xiaohu?"

"...Why don't you want to marry me? Am I not handsome? Is my figure not good?... If you mind that I have stayed in a brothel before, I can guarantee that I have never received customers before. You Look, my blood mole is still there!" Brother Yu said eagerly.

The wilderness is embarrassing, unmarried brothers in this era have blood moles, which grow behind the ears.

"Then you don't want to marry Zhao Xiaohu?" Yuanye ignored his question, with a cold face, and asked again with an emphatic tone.

"You!...Yes, I don't want to!" Brother Yu thought for a while, then suddenly pulled his front skirt, messed up his hair, and threatened Yuan Ye, "I don't ask you to marry me as the king, I can Be a concubine, if you still don't want to, I will yell at you to force me, then your reputation will be completely ruined, let's see who dares to marry you!"

Yuanye ignored his threats, and asked, "Why don't you want to marry Zhao Xiaohu? He is young and looks good."

"What do you mean?!" Yuanye ignored his words twice and three times, and kept asking him if he would like to marry Zhao Xiaohu. Brother Yu said in a fit of anger, "Why should I marry him? His family has an acre of land. None, I don’t want to live a hard life!”

"Oh!" Yuan Ye nodded, and said to the compartment behind the study, "Okay, come out."
