Yao Shichu held the razor in his hand and pressed it on Xue Yanrong's shoulder——

"Second Master, don't move, let's shave this lip, so that it will grow back and be darker."

The razor scraped back and forth on the lips twice, "After all, I'm going to stay in Beijing, and I'd better pay more attention to some things."

"That's right—" Xue Yanrong touched his shaved lips, stared blankly, and said after a while: "It's thanks to you, I almost forgot, we are going to stay in Beijing from now on .”

Listening to Xue Yanrong's sighing tone, Yao Shichu paused, closed the razor in his hand——

"Compared with the capital city, you still prefer outside the pass, sir?"

"I can't say which one I like better, but it's far away from the gate, no one is watching, so I don't panic."

As he spoke, he thought of his mother again. Every time he went back to greet her, Zheng Junqing would shed tears from time to time when she saw her, which made Xue Yanrong in a dilemma——

Mother's tears were much more than in previous years.

Xue Yanrong didn't want to linger too much on this issue, so he raised his eyes and looked around——

"Where is Xu Yuren this early in the morning? Where did he go?"

"Him?" Yao Shichu stared angrily. "Who knows, since he returned to Beijing, he has become a busy person day by day. I guess he ran away somewhere to hide his laziness."

"I can't—" Xue Yanrong frowned, turned to look at Yao Shichu again, something was wrong, raised his chin and asked, "Is he messing with you again?"

"No!" Yao Shichu's complexion suddenly changed, and he became unnatural, "Who cares about him!"

"Then what are you?"

Xue Yanrong was a little puzzled, why since they returned to Beijing, these two people were either bickering or angry?The more you live, the smaller you look?

"If he bullies you, I'll back you up, and you just have to train him."

"No, he didn't bully me, don't think about it, nothing happened."

After saying that, Yao Shichu picked up the broom standing by the door and swept vigorously in the clean corridor.

Just as Xue Yanrong was about to say something, he saw Xu Yu who was walking towards here not far away. He didn't know that he had bumped into that muscle. He was clearly about to come, but he turned around quickly in the next step, as if he was about to run away. Posture——

If he could let him go, Xue Yanrong would not be Xue Yanrong.

Immediately shouted loudly——

"You stop!"

Then he walked over with big strides, looked him up and down——

"Grandpa—" Xu Yu shrank his neck, with a guilty expression.

"Are you a mouse seeing a cat? Where are you going?"

As he spoke, he tugged on his sleeve——

"Go, the razor at the beginning of the tenth year has not been confiscated. It just so happens that you are also shaving your face."

"Don't, don't, don't! Grandpa! Don't let me go--" Xu Yu kept hiding.

"What are you doing again?" Seeing him like this, Xue Yanrong knew that nothing good was going on.

"It's not me, it's that bad boy Chang Wang!" Xu Yu blushed anxiously and stuttered, "He got a picture of a lady from somewhere and forced it to me, and I threw it on the bed Down below, the house was cleaned up at the beginning of the tenth day yesterday, and it was swept out."

"Picture of a lady?" Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows. "Although I was a bit domineering at the beginning of the tenth century, I wouldn't turn against you for a picture of a lady, right? Are you talking to me again?!"

"How dare I! It's really a picture of a lady, no, but—"

"But what?"

Xu Yu bit the corner of his mouth and stopped talking for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

"Say it or not?! Don't tell me I'll kick you!"

"Tell me, I said—yes, it's the one with no clothes on."

Xue Yanrong raised his feet, but was suddenly amused by him, took two steps back, and looked with a good look——

"Can't see it, are you okay with this one?"

"It's not me!" Xu Yu looked more anxious than before, jumping on the spot, "Grandpa! I've been following you since I was a child! It's been so many years, don't you know me? I'm the kind of obsessed girl / Perverted person?!

Give me this!Why don't you give me a big pig's trotter!This, this is all because that kid Chang Wang played tricks on me. Don't look at him, he is young, and he has a lot of guts in his stomach. I can't compare the three together!Next time, I have to have a good talk with Butler Chang!Spanking Blossom! "

"Forget about Butler Chang—" Xue Yanrong tilted his head and glanced behind him, "Is that why you plan to run away like this?"

"If you don't run away, what else can I do? You didn't see it yesterday, she was about to eat me, as if I had done something terrible and unreasonable, I was so brave that she was almost scared to death, now How dare you show your face again?"

"I said, why are you so heartless?"

"Grandpa, why have I lost my conscience—"

Xue Yanrong suddenly frowned——

"She was a girl at the beginning of her tenth year. She didn't think you were dirty or smelly. She cleaned up the house for you with good intentions. In the end, you made such a dirty thing for others to see. If you were another girl, don't say it to you. A few words are to report to the official that you are accused of being a disciple, and I am afraid that you will not feel relieved, but you are good, you have been wronged first, and your conscience is really eaten by dogs!"

"I, I don't blame her, I'm just afraid—"

"What are you afraid of?"

"What if she hits me?"

"Don't be a jerk! Just let her beat you. How strong can a girl in the tenth year be? Can she beat you to death?"

"It wasn't you who dared to beat you. You said it lightly, but she hit hard. When I was outside the customs last year, I just joked with her, and her skin was pinched by her. It was purple and blue for seven or eight days. "

"Hiss—" Xue Yanrong took a sharp breath, "You talk so much nonsense! Let me ask you, can you pass?"

Xu Yu put his hands in his hands, shook his head like a rattle, and muttered——

"Don't go."

"Aren't you going? Okay! You wait—" Xue Yanrong raised his eyes and pointed at him.

Seeing this, Xu Yu hid back——

"Grandpa, what are you going to do?"

"The legs are on your body, what can I do?" Xue Yanrong shook off his sleeves, "I'll go and tell Shi Chu that you have to break off any friendship with her and never have any contact with her."

"When did I say that?!" Xu Yu jumped up immediately, and shouted anxiously: "I'll go! I'll give her an apology right now! She won't gnaw even if she's beaten to death!"

"Say it earlier, I have to be serious—" Xue Yanrong wiped his son's stubble from his face, and smiled.

Xu Yu said that he was following Xue Yanrong, rather he was hiding behind her. Once he walked in front of Yao Shichu, he wished he could shrink into the collar of his clothes.

"At the beginning of the tenth day, I scolded him just now, so you just let him go this time, adults don't remember the faults of villains." Xue Yanrong kicked Xu Yu who was hiding behind him, "Are you talking, are you dumb?"

Only then did Xu Yu poke his head out, both aggrieved and pitiful——

"At the beginning of the tenth day, I threw that thing into the firepit and burned it to ashes. It's all the fault of that kid Chang Wang. I'll deal with him later. You, you don't want to be angry with me again. At the beginning of the tenth day, I, I was wrong. gone."

Yao Shichu didn't speak, but he didn't push people away either. He put on a sullen face, as if he had listened or not, but Xue Yanrong knew her well, and he had never tolerated sand in his eyes. I raised my broom a long time ago, how can I listen to people's words well like now, but even though I am not angry, I still have to keep my face——

Xue Yanrong blinked, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Yu's head——

"You shave him too, he looks like a wild monkey, unshaven—"

"The razor and hot water are there. I confiscated them and shaved them off myself." Yao Shichu twisted his body and was about to leave.

"Hey hey——" Xue Yanrong quickly stopped him, "How can he do this, he is so stupid, if you let him do it by himself, he will cut off a piece of meat—"

"It doesn't matter to me if you cut it—"

"Yes, yes, it has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me. If you don't do it for him, you should do it for me. Everyone around me is a savage, unkempt savage. I'm also ashamed, right? At the beginning of tenth, you should do it." merciful--"

Yao Shichu pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time, but Xu Yu had a pitiful look on his face, his heart couldn't be hardened, but his mouth refused to let go——

"You've already spoken, how dare I refuse to obey, but I've agreed, it's for your sake, not for him."

"Yes, for my sake, you just bypass him this time."

Yao Shichu shook the apron, and glanced at Xu Yu who was shrinking his neck.

"You're a piece of wood, why don't you sit over quickly." Xue Yanrong pushed the chair with hatred, and Xu Yu was pushed on the chair. Then he looked at the steaming water and said with a smile: "It's just right. Already, let you also touch my Fugener."

Covering his face with a hot towel, when he took it off again, Xu Yu immediately felt refreshed, looked at Yao Shichu cheerfully and said with a smile——

"If you want to say that this shaving skill has to be ours in the early [-]th century, the razor in the hand is simply magical. If you carry a bench in the morning, and shave and shave from door to door, you won't die of hunger."

"Are you praising me or scolding me?" Yao Shichu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye, thinking how could there be such a thick-skinned person.

"Of course I compliment you."

"Then you'd better keep your mouth shut. It sounds like you're scolding me. Is there a female shave?"

"Why not, then—"

"That, that, that!" Yao Shichu held up the razor in his hand, "Are you going to shave? If you don't, I'm leaving."

"Don't! I'll shave. Of course I have to. It's almost the Chinese New Year. If I don't shave, I'll be a savage."

As soon as Xu Yu finished shaving his face, he saw Steward Chang hurriedly running into the yard——

"Second Master, Second Master!"

"It's early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Steward Chang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took out a bottle of bean green pill from his sleeve——

"Miss Yao, is there any water? Give me a bowl of hot water."

Yao Shichu thought he was cold and thirsty, so he didn't think much about it, and was about to go to the house to pour it for him, but before he could step out, he heard him shout again——

"Water, not tea."

This time, not to mention Yao Shichu, even Xue Yanrong and Xu Yu were surprised. Steward Chang is by no means such a busy person. Why did he come to Qizitang to ask for water this early in the morning?

Looking at his anxious face, I wonder if the water has other uses?

Xue Yanrong nodded at Yao Shichu, "Go ahead."

Shaoqing——

Yao Shichu came out with a bowl of boiling white water.

"Careful it's hot—"

"I have a job, I have a job." Chang Butler took the hot water and put it on the edge of the window sill, then twisted the lid of the bean green medicine bottle in his hand, and took out two black pills from the inside, and waited for the pill to dissolve in the water , Fang carefully held the bowl in front of Xue Yanrong, "Second Master, look at this medicine—"

"What's wrong with this medicine?" Xue Yanrong frowned, and fixed his eyes on it, "Why is it this color?"

"It's not enough!" Chang Butler poured out the water from the bowl again, "Look at the bottom of this bowl again."

"Where is this medicine?!" Xue Yanrong immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Where else could it be the medicine? Isn't it the medicine of our Benshantang?"

Steward Chang sighed, "I've been coughing for the past few days, so I'm going to buy some pills for resolving phlegm and relieving cough. I think it's better to go to our house than to go to other pharmacies. My stomach was still sore. I thought that I used to dissolve it in hot water before taking it. I was afraid that it might be caused by my improper eating method, so I specially dissolved it in water again. Only then did I find out The color and taste have all changed from before, and there is this black and mushy thing that sinks in the bottom of the bowl, which becomes sticky when pinched with hands, and also has a foul smell. May I ask when did our Benshantang's elixir become so bad? !"

"Didn't you go to the store and ask?" Xue Yanrong asked again.

"Don't talk about it, I'll be even angrier if you talk about it!" Steward Chang coughed heavily, and then continued: "I specially asked a young man who didn't like me to ask, and it turned out--good guy! He's nonsense Not to mention, he kicked people out with a stick, Second Master, you didn't see that scene, you really wanted to eat people! One step later, the flesh would be torn apart!"

"Is there such a thing?" Xue Yanrong's face darkened, "Who is the shopkeeper?"

"Liu Dakun."

"Liu Dakun? Didn't I remember that his surname was Qian?"

"It's not long ago—now this is specially hired by the second master, and he has a big mole on his face. I heard that he was a bad man before, and somehow he got into the relationship with the second master. Illness is not good, he is best at playing tricks and tricks, waiting for one is not a thing!"

Seeing Steward Chang's indignation, Xue Yanrong could understand it. After all, at such an old age, he is also a big housekeeper. Wherever you go, you will not be respected by others. Few people can feel at ease when encountering such a thing unexpectedly.

"I know about this, you have been wronged——"

"No, no, the old slave is not wronged, as long as it can help the second master, the old slave can do anything."

Xue Yanrong nodded——

"Leave this medicine with me. Later, you ask Chang Wang to pay three taels of silver to the cashier. You can buy whatever medicine you want. This cough will definitely be cured."

"Hey, the second master can't force it. I am so angry with the old slave. I am afraid that the good business of the family will disturb them, so I came to report to you. There is absolutely no other meaning."

"Butler Chang, don't refuse. If something like this happens next time, just remember to report it to me again."

The implication is very clear, butler Chang is a smart person, so he immediately stopped refusing and nodded in response——

"As long as the old slave knows, Second Master, don't worry, I will tell you everything."

After Steward Chang left, Xue Yanrong looked at the black dregs at the bottom of the bowl, and became thoughtful.

Xu Yu, who was at the side, opened the green medicine bottle and sniffed it——

"Second Master, this medicine stinks!"

"When did Steward Chang get bullied like this, not to mention buying counterfeit medicines, and he didn't even ask for a reason. If you don't get angry, you'll be a ghost, but——"

Yao Shichu frowned, "Isn't the shopkeeper surnamed Liu too unreasonable? When he asks, he throws a stick and throws him out? Is this a medicine shop or a gambling stall?"

As soon as the words came to this point, Xue Yanrong shook his sleeves and asked——

"At the beginning of tenth, where is my cloak?"

"In the house."

"Take it out, I want to wear it."

The cloak was shaken off in his hand, and Xue Yanrong put it on his body as soon as he changed hands. The pattern of the silk and satin material, when the sun shines, it will reflect the first light.

"Let's go, Benshantang will meet that Mr. Liu, I want to see what kind of person Second Uncle has invited back."

"Hey—can you come back at noon?" Yao Shichu asked hastily.

Xue Yanrong paused, then looked at Xu Yu who was following, and said——

"Eat it when you come back. If you don't come back, let Xu Yu bring you a whole fresh roasted chicken."
