Yu Miao looked at the wood in Lu Changning's hand and tilted his head curiously: "How did you learn to carve?"

Lu Changning didn't stop working on the wood, but he didn't delay in replying to Yu Miao: "I don't know, maybe he learned it before! He got it without realizing it."

It may also be because his original form was a tree spirit, and he had experience in wielding swords and guns before, so he was adept at carving such small things.

The pony in his hand had gradually broken free from the wood and landed in Lu Changning's hand. He blew away the sawdust on it and then put away the carving knife.

"How is it? Is it lifelike?"

Yu Miao looked at Lu Changning, holding his chin with his hand and sizing him up: "Xiao Lu, why do I feel like you don't come from a poor family?"

Lu Changning cleaned up the sawdust on the ground one by one: "Why do you say that? Am I not efficient at work?"

"Not really. You do your job well, but a child from a poor family, no matter how spoiled you are, should not have been educated! And you can carve. It's not easy to have one skill, but you can do so many."

Lu Changning grinned: "I only know a few words."

Yu Miao didn't believe it: "Lifelike doesn't sound like something you can say just because you know a few words. Xiao Lu, you might as well go and find out about your life experience. Maybe your family is still around?"

Lu Changning responded without hesitation: "I will find a chance to find out, but the village is at the bottom of the river, so the chances of finding relatives are slim."

After saying that, he shook the pony in his hand and said, "It's beautiful."

Yu Miao looked at the pony and nodded in agreement, but he was a little puzzled: "You seem to be carving a lot recently."

"Well, when I was out a few days ago, a boss liked my wood carvings and ordered a few styles from me."

When Yu Miao heard what Lu Changning said, he immediately stopped his hand on the pony and frowned: "Lu Changning, you are my farmhand, and you are doing private work?"

Lu Changning knew that Yu Miao was not really angry, but he knelt down immediately with a panicked look: "Master, please forgive me, this... is not allowed?"

Yu Miao looked at the silly big man in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'll let you off this time. Tell me how much money they gave you."

Lu Changning pointed at the pony and said, "They ordered five in total and gave me one or two taels of silver."

"Quite a few!"

Lu Changning pursed his lips and said nothing.

"Xiao Lu, am I short of food or drink? Why are you saving money?"

Lu Changning clutched the corner of his clothes, looked away, and said nothing.

Seeing that he couldn't get any answers, Yu Miao sighed and said, "Forget it, I don't have anything else to do here anyway, so you can earn more money. Take the pony out, I'm going to sleep."

After hearing what Yu Miao said, Lu Changning knew that he didn't want to make a fuss about it, so he quickly left with Xiao Ma.

After working with Yu Miao for a few years, Lu Changning saved a little money. But if he wanted to open a shop outside, it would be very difficult, after all, he had not found a way to get permission to open a shop.

Starting a business is no longer feasible, so the only thing he can do now is to find a way to take Yu Miao away from this family.

Seeing that Yu Miao's birthday was approaching, the date for the Liu family to pick him up was getting closer and closer. Not only Lu Changning was upset, but even the head lady of the Yu family was very upset, throwing things around at every turn, and the two children who had been raised by him since childhood were scolded several times because of him.

Yu Miao just listened to these gossips. As the person involved, he was quite idle. He was still reading a book or watching Lu Changning work as usual.

That day, when Lu Changning filled the water tank with water and came over wiping the water stains all over his body, Yu Miao suddenly reached out and touched his stomach.

Although it was just a touch and then left, it was indeed a touch. Lu Changning looked dumbfounded, as if he didn't understand, but he was actually very happy in his heart: Hey, you are still greedy for my body. I have been seducing you for two years without success, and I thought you didn't like this type.

After Yu Miao touched Lu Changning, he realized that he had lost his composure and quickly retracted his hand. He looked up shyly and saw his silly face.

Sure enough, this guy is a bit stupid and can't think of this kind of thing at all. He rubbed his fingers gently, thinking back to the touch just now. He left too quickly and didn't poke it properly.

Yu Miao stood up from his chair, looking dignified and upright again: "Xiao Lu, my mother's memorial day is coming soon, please accompany me to the Hanshan Temple outside the city to burn incense."

Yu Miao rarely leaves the house, so Lu Changning naturally agreed.

Hanshan Temple is located on a remote hillside outside Jinchuan City. It is a small temple with not very strong incense. It is completely different from the prosperity of the big temples in the city.

But it is such a small temple that enshrines the tablet of Yu Miao's mother, so he comes here every year.

The road to the temple was quite difficult to travel, so the two of them took a horse carriage and traveled slowly and swayingly.

Inside the carriage, Yu Miao looked at Lu Changning massaging his legs, and suddenly thought of a question: "Xiao Lu, what have you been saving money for all these years?"

Without even raising his head, Lu Changning said casually, "Get married."

"You want to get married?" Yu Miao sat up straight after hearing this.

Lu Changning's rough hands kept massaging Yu Miao's legs: "Well, the manager said that I'm getting old and I need to think about my life. He told me to save money early so that he can find a good marriage for me."

When Yu Miao heard Lu Changning's expectant tone, his heart went cold and his face darkened. He pulled his legs back from Lu Changning's hands, closed his eyes and refused to say another word.

Lu Changning looked at Yu Miao with a simple and honest expression, wondering what was wrong with his young master: "Young Master, are you carsick?"

Yu Miao frowned and didn't want to talk.

Lu Changning quickly covered his young master with the blanket he brought: "Young master, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me. I brought medicine."

Yu Miao still didn't say anything, but instead pushed the blanket away from him in annoyance.

Although Lu Changning looked worried, he was actually very happy in his heart.

You see, you have me in your heart, but you keep your distance from me all day. You must be jealous when you hear that I am getting married. Humph, if you don't have a sense of crisis, how can you understand your own heart? Then elope with me.

That's right, Lu Changning planned to kidnap his young master. He wanted to do something that was against etiquette and law. He wanted to elope with the young master.
