Money is hard to buy, time is easy

But I really have no intention of getting a wife right now. "

"Since you didn't mean anything to me, why did you accept my handkerchief?" At the end, Pei Yiyi hurriedly stood up.

"Handkerchief? When did I receive your handkerchief?" Duan Jian was really confused.

How did the conversation end in the end? Duan Jian didn't care anymore. When she left, she saw Pei Yiyi crying on the desk, and she couldn't bear it.

Back on the carriage, Duan Jian couldn't remember when she took Pei Yiyi's handkerchief after thinking about it. Seeing Shimo's honest face, she asked him: "Shimo, have I ever accepted someone else's handkerchief?"

"Yes, young master." Shimo's answer without thinking almost made Duan Jian fall to the ground.

Really!

"When did this happen?"

Shimo shrank back. Is there something wrong with what he said? Why did the young master's expression become so scary, "Yes... it was one night that the young master went to the restaurant to get drunk, and was blowing in the garden, and then someone handed it to him. A handkerchief for the young master to wipe his sweat, and the young master will stuff it for me to put it away..." Shimo's voice became smaller and smaller, and the person retreated further and further.

"My God..." Duan Jian was very annoyed, she couldn't remember the situation at that time, "Where is that veil? Is it still there?" It was the naked evidence of crime, and it had to be completely destroyed before no one found it. is.

Shimo said timidly: "It was taken up by... the housekeeper..."

"Then why didn't you tell me!"

"Because the butler said that the young master is very busy, there is no need to tell the young master about such trivial matters..." Shimo was about to cry.

... It seems that a smarter book boy should follow him, and Duan Jian stared at Shimo like a sworn enemy.

But Duan Jian was annoyed, and Shimo's job was still kept.There is no way, if you want to change the book boy, you have to alarm Ah Hong, and Duan Jian doesn't want Ah Hong to know about this, so he can only pretend that nothing happened.

Thinking that Ah Hong already knew about the Pazi in his heart but never revealed it, Duan Jian felt upset.

In the next few days, wherever Ah Hong went, Duan Jian followed. When meeting Ah Hong's suspicious eyes, Duan Jian put on a flattering expression, and at night she was even more gentle. The torture was so weak that he didn't stop.

If it goes on like this, he will die on the bed sooner or later, this night Ah Hong refuses to continue messing around with Duan Jian no matter what.

So at the dinner table the next day, Duan Jian held a steaming bowl of lamb kidney soup, looked at A Hong affectionately and said, "I specially asked the cook to add more pepper, it has absolutely no fishy smell, come and taste it."

When Shimo was called by the housekeeper, he was very anxious all the way, but he didn't expect Ah Hong to just ask him what Duan Jian said.He is slow to read ink but not stupid, not to mention that the people in the yard have told him many times, the young master and the butler must have heard what the butler said, so he honestly recounted the conversation in the carriage that day.

Ah Hong didn't respond to this, and asked him to call Zhou Sheng, who was in charge of purchasing in the front yard, and let him go back.

Zhou Sheng came quickly, Ah Hong asked him to go to the thrift store to collect some old clothes, for young men, good material, probably new, go farther to buy, not to mention Duan's.Zhou Sheng wondered, does the young master still wear old clothes at home?I usually pawn the young master's old clothes.Duan Jian's clothes are all made of good materials. He has grown rapidly in the past few years, and the clothes made in spring will be half short in the next year. It would take up space, but it would be a pity to throw them away. The housekeeper told him to pawn them for a penny .

But he didn't care about the affairs of the master's house, so he bought some satin clothes and came back soon.Within two days, Ah Hong called him again, took out another bag of clothes, and ordered Zhou Sheng to find a child near the east of the city and send it to the designated home. The child got two copper coins and happily agreed.Zhou Sheng hid in the dark, watched a boy in green clothes come out of the door, took the package and closed the door, and then went back to report to Ah Hong.

The servant of the Pei family received the package, puzzled, and planned to show it to the housekeeper, but it happened that Liang Zhuo got it.There were only a few men's old shirts in the package, and the handkerchief that Duan Jian had missed for many days was wrapped in one of the coats. On the corner of the handkerchief was written a small poem in teeny lowercase letters, signed with a vermilion Yi character.

Pei Yiyi, who was still arguing about not wanting to marry her cousin, turned pale when she saw the handkerchief on Liang Zhuo's hand. She never expected to be betrayed by someone close to her. Liang Zhuo's mouth opened and closed. She didn't hear anything, it was as if a bloody gap had been dug in her heart, and she could no longer hide the hatred in her heart.

The author has something to say: Why do people think Ah Hong is a loyal dog?Although he acquired the attributes of a wife, he didn't attach the label of a loyal dog!In comparison, Duan Jian is more like a loyal dog...

☆, uninvited guest

The Mu family has not replied so far, and the greeting card sent by Duan Jian has also disappeared. Li Linliang heard the news, saying that the head of the Mu family suddenly became seriously ill. Once the head of the family fell, the two heirs completely tore apart their faces and fought for the position of the head of the family. Fighting hard, no time to take care of others.

Now that the Mu family is no longer viable, Duan Jian intends to find another company to cooperate with. Anyway, Yuyantang is developing well, so there is no need to worry about finding a suitable business.

They also discussed other matters. Li Linliang will continue to run a business in a few days, but this time it is not for the Li family's tea business, but to go south with his two younger brothers' husbands to buy silk. Buzhuang will soon have a surname of half Li.

The night was dark, everyone in Duan's house had fallen asleep, and suddenly there were two unexpected guests in the backyard.Although they tried their best to avoid making any noise, they couldn't hide it from Master Lian who lived in the side room.

"Who is it?" Martial Master Lian turned over, picked up the long sword on the bedside, and rushed out through the door.

One of the shadows had no choice but to pull off his mask, and revealed his identity in a low voice: "Uncle Wu, it's me!"

"Lian Kui! Why is it you? Are you injured? Who else is this?" the impatient Uncle Lian asked like a cannonball.

"It's a long story, but the young escort asked us to come to you! Master Mu is also injured!" Lian Kui turned sideways, revealing his companion behind him.

"Quick! Follow me into the house!" Uncle Lian settled the man in his room, and turned to look for Duan Jian.

There was not much movement in the yard, and the two people in the back room were not disturbed. After being awakened, Duan Jian and Ah Hong hurriedly changed their clothes and followed Fifth Uncle Lian out.

Five adults filled Uncle Lian's room to the brim. Lian Kui, who was seriously injured, stood and gave the only chair in the room to his companion.Both of them had scars on their bodies. Lian Kui's shoulder was the most seriously injured. His skin was torn apart from a knife. It was shocking to see. His whole arm was hanging limply. His companion was injured on his arm. There was no other obvious injury Wound.

Ah Hong came in and took a look, and he knew why Lian Kui would rather stand than heal himself first. Although the sitting man was in a mess and his head and face were covered with mud, he could still see that he was a pampered man. Duan Jian said: "Brother, you and Master Lian take this chivalrous man to the compartment, and I will clean up the wound of this young man."

Duan Jian and Fifth Uncle Lian also noticed it. Lian Kui secretly heaved a sigh of relief, took out the wound medicine from his arms and put it on the table, "This is the medicine for knife wounds, I'm sorry."

Here, Ah Hong was silently cleaning and bandaging the injured Shizi's wound, and that Shizi was also looking at Ah Hong. Lian Lie had already told him about Duan Jian's general situation before they left, and the other party could trust him. Besides, his current situation In this situation, there is no choice but to trust the other party.

Shizi's clothes were badly damaged during the escape. Ahong prepared his own clothes and hot water. Shizi naturally stretched out his arms to ask Ahong to undress him. The red mark on the back waist was so bright that it seemed to drip Get down, and then step into the bathtub naked, obviously being used to being served.

On the other side, with the help of Uncle Lian, Lian Kui quickly finished the dressing and began to talk about the situation they encountered after they left Longjing.

"So, Ariel asked you to come to me? Is Ariel going to be okay?" Duan Jian thought quickly, and immediately thought of something wrong. There was a branch of Liansheng Escort in Luocheng, but Lian Lie Kui came to look for him, that can only mean that the Escort is no longer safe...

"The head of the escort led people up the mountain, and only said that we would wait for him at Young Master Duan's house." Even though Lian Kui was worried about Lian Lie's safety, he had no choice but to follow orders.

"Since that's the case, you can stay here to heal your injuries. Feel free to speak up if you need it, and you're welcome."

Lian Kui said gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master Duan."

Since Shi Zi is the person Lian Lie values ​​most, Ah Hong did not neglect at all. He cleaned up the guest room and waited for him to sleep. The other party was injured after running around for days. It's almost dawn after busy work.

Duan Jian felt distressed, and pressed Ah Hong to lie down and rest.

Ah Hong was worried, opened his eyes and asked: "Young master, what are the origins of those two people?"

Duan Jian learned from Lian Kui: "That man's name is Lian Kui, he's Ariel's bodyguard, and that son's name is Mu Yu, he's the young master of the Longjing Mu family. They're going to stay at our house for a while. Okay. Come on, go to sleep, you have been tossing all night."

After Ah Hong fell asleep, Duan Jian called his servants to guard in front of the bed, and went out alone. When he came back, Ah Hong was still awake, but even Uncle Wu was anxiously waiting.

"Master Lian, don't worry, Alieji is a natural person, and nothing will happen." Duan Jian went out to the Liansheng Escort to inquire about the news. Because she was worried that others would find out that something was wrong, she didn't inquire too deeply. She only knew that everything in the Escort was as usual.

Uncle Lian sighed, "Hey, I don't know how the young escort is doing now." He also knew that something must have happened in the escort agency, otherwise Lian Lie would not have let Lian Kui seek refuge at Duan's house.

Duan Jian said a few more words of comfort, and then asked, "How are Brother Lian Kui and Young Master Mu?"

"Lian Kui is seriously injured and needs to recuperate for a while. Young Master Mu is not seriously injured, but he has lost a lot of blood and is weak. Both of them are not in serious danger."

"That's good, even Master doesn't have to worry too much."

Mu Yu just woke up before dark. He has never been seriously injured at this age. His head is a little groggy. When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange room. The last bit of confusion was forgotten, and he wanted to jump up while propping up the bed.

"Hmm!" Mu Yu slumped back on the bed, his arm was slowly bleeding, the excruciating pain woke him up, yes, this is the Duan family that Lian Lie was talking about.

He killed the young cousin of the Lin family, and if he was wounded in such a place, he would be a useless person even if he didn't die. To catch him back is life for life.Seeing that Long Jing couldn't stay any longer, and couldn't contact his subordinates, he quickly found Lian Lie, who immediately decided to take him out of the city to hide.

With the help of Lian Lie, Mu Yu was able to escape from Longjing smoothly, but the pursuers behind him refused to let him go.

Fleeing all the way outside Luocheng, all three of them were injured. In an emergency, Lian Lie asked Lian Kui to take him into the city overnight, and he led his pursuers up the mountain... There is a group of bandits entrenched in Luocheng Mountain. The city government can't do anything about them. There are bandits in front and chasing soldiers in the back.

If it weren't for Lian Lie's help, he would have died on the way. Mu Wei was determined to put him to death this time, but it is a pity that he escaped in the end. Since he did not die, when he returned Long Jing must repay Mu Wei heavily.

Mu Yu's handsome face was tight, and when he heard the footsteps outside the door, he immediately changed his expression, holding his injured hand, frowning and calling out.

A man dressed as a servant came in with a tray, saw the blood on Mu Yu's arm and shouted in a hurry: "The guest is awake? Oh, why is it bleeding again! I'll ask the housekeeper and the young master to come over right away!"

The young master Shizi mentioned is probably the master of the Duan family, but who is the housekeeper?Mu Yu felt strange. Hearing what Shizi said, the housekeeper seemed to be more effective than the young master in this house.

The author has something to say:

☆, Mu Yu

Mu Yu's wound looked serious, but in fact it was just a flesh wound, not a muscle or bone, because the wound would only bleed when pulled hard, and it would be fine after re-bandaging and applying medicine.

Duan Jian and Mu Yu greeted each other, and comforted each other to rest here with peace of mind, and to speak up if they needed anything. While he was looking at each other, the other party was also secretly observing.

The furnishings in the room are very ordinary. Although the bedding covering Mu Yu's body is clean and tidy, it can be seen that it has been used and washed. If it was in the past, he would definitely not use things used by others. It seems that the Duan family is not a rich man. Dagui's house is just a small family with a well-to-do family. The owner is unexpectedly young, and the young man next to the master is dressed as a servant, but the clothes are better than the one who came in earlier. There are a lot of them, and if you read correctly, the fine silk produced in Luzhou is used, it must be the housekeeper of this family.

Mu Yu leaned against the bed rail and made a weak appearance, "Then there will be Master Duan. Mu Yu will always remember Master Duan's kindness." He was quite handsome, with a pale face and downcast eyes. Lovely.

Duan Jian met Mu Yu's affectionate gaze, shivered without a trace, exchanged a few pleasantries, and couldn't wait to leave.

After several days, there was still no news of Lian Lie. Even the master and Lian Kui were so anxious that their mouths were blistered. If Duan Jian didn't dissuade them, they might have rushed out to find someone.But when even Duan Jian was feeling uneasy, only Mu Yu was still acting as if nothing had happened, with a calm expression on his face. The knife wound on his arm had begun to scab. The small movements of his own son are still very easy.

When Ah Hong came over, he saw such a surprising scene.

Under the eaves, Mu Yu hugged Shishu by the waist, their faces were very close, Mu Yu pinched Shishu's chin, and rubbed his pale pink lips against each other's cheeks, as if they were going to kiss each other.

He was born handsome, although he was holding a book in his arms, his eyes glanced at Ah Hong, the corners of his eyes were slightly turned up, and he gave a wink, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile.

"Master Mu is well." Ah Hong had no choice but to remind the two of them.

It was only then that Shishu came to his senses and realized that he was being held in someone's arms. This person was not only an important guest of the master, but more importantly, the other party was also a real person, and he struggled in panic.

Mu Yu thought in a blink of an eye, and suddenly let go of his arms, Li Shu immediately jumped away like a frightened rabbit, and saw Mu Yu holding his injured arm, hissing softly: "It hurts..."

The wound on his arm had just healed not long ago, and his whole body was shaky, as if in great pain.Ah Hong's face changed, and he quickly stepped up to support him, "Master Mu, how are you?"

"Hiss...it seems to be bleeding..." Mu Yu's facial features were wrinkled, and his expression of pain did not seem fake.Due to the hot weather and injuries, he was only wearing an underwear and a single shirt, and traces of blood appeared on his arms after a while.

Ah Hong's face changed, and he turned his head and ordered: "Hurry up and get a basin of hot water."

Shishu also realized that he had caused trouble, and his face was pale. Hearing Ah Hong's order, he nodded hurriedly to do it.

Sure enough, Mu Yu's wound had already healed, but it split open again due to the pulling, so he could only re-bandage and apply medicine. The blood-stained bandage was thrown into the copper basin, and there were circles of light red water waves.

But the injured himself didn't take it seriously, but stretched out his uninjured hand, lifted a strand of Ahong's hair hanging in front of him, and said with a smile, "Is the butler worried about me?"

Ah Hong lowered his head unmoved, and his men tied the last knot steadily, "Master Mu, your injury is not serious, but the doctor ordered you to rest well before the wound is completely healed, so as not to affect the wound." As he spoke, he pulled back the hair in Mu Yu's hand, saluted and exited the room.

Lian Kui, who was standing aside, looked embarrassed. He had just been sent to the kitchen by Mu Yu. He didn't expect that Mu Yu would cause trouble as soon as he left the corner. It's just that Mu Yu was the savior of Uncle Lian and the others, and he was entrusted by the young escort. The one who was taken care of by him had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry it down, catch up and clasped his fists: "Thanks for your trouble, Lian Xing is very grateful."

Just when everyone was waiting until they were anxious, Duan Jian finally received the news from Lian Lie.

On a square table in the hall, several pairs of eyes were fixed on an inch-long knife placed in the center of the table. The news was written on a piece of paper that was only one finger long, and then tied to this knife.

"It's the bandit on Luocheng Mountain." Lian Kui picked up the knife and looked at it. Two vertical bars were engraved on the end of the knife with a circle in the middle, which is hard to spot unless you look carefully.

The Lian family is in the business of an escort agency, and they have to deal with black and white along the way. After all, having more friends means less trouble, but there are also forces that don't accept their good intentions, such as the bandits in Luocheng Mountain who don't know when they will come down. , It’s just that the scope of the two parties is different, and they seldom contact each other at ordinary times.

But this time it was different, Lian Lie led his pursuers into the bandits' territory, if he violated the other party's taboo, they would kill you no matter who you were.This is exactly what Uncle Lian and Lian Kui were worried about.

It wasn't until Lian Lie's handwritten letter that Lian Wushu and Lian Kui's hearts returned to their stomachs.

"Master Duan, do you know who sent it?"

Duan Jian smiled wryly, today he was sitting behind Yuyan Hall to settle the accounts as usual, and suddenly there was a gleaming knife in front of him, and the account book was firmly nailed to the table, if it was a little bit off, the one who shot would be His head, even though it was as calm as his, was so startled that he almost jumped up, and he didn't bother to look up to see where the knife came from.

"Uncle Wu, since the head of the escort said it's all right, then we shouldn't be too anxious. In my opinion, the most urgent thing to do is to inform Longjing so that the old lady won't be worried."

"Look at me, I'm so confused! Leave this matter to me, and I'll go out and do it right away!" Uncle Lian patted his head, turned around and left.

It was night, and a black shadow sneaked into the room where Mu Yu was temporarily staying. The black shadow was agile and did not disturb anyone.

"The subordinate is not doing enough to protect the master, please punish him." Hei Ying knelt down on one knee facing Mu Yu.

With a sullen face, Mu Yu said after a long time, "Get up, you can't blame it all this time." The guards around him were bribed by Mu Wei, something they didn't expect.

"Thank you, master."

"How is Longjing now?"

"The traitors who dared to betray the master have been dealt with in full. Long Jing is now in good condition. The master's parents were placed in another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing by Mu Wei. Their lives are safe, but their actions are restricted."

"Ha, my mother was imprisoned by Mu Wei?" Mu Yu gloated and laughed, as if the person imprisoned was not his own mother, but some other unrelated outsider. It's not easy. With her temperament, she doesn't know how to curse me right now."

The black shadow was not surprised, and continued: "Master Song rushed back to Longjing as soon as he heard about the master's accident. The Lin family will not pursue it any further. Master Song also asked his subordinates to convey that the master's injury this time made him feel very sorry. Worried, just entangled in trivial matters, unable to come in person—”

"Okay, I got it, tell Song Zhen that I know what I know, he has a lot of things, so don't bother him." Mu Yu directly interrupted the other party, "Go back and tell Mu Ming, let him encourage Mu Wei to get me out sooner. Get out of the Mu Clan, tell the others to get ready, keep your hands and feet clean when you leave, and absolutely not leave any traces behind. I will stay here for a few more days, and I will tell you when I need to leave."

"Yes, Master."

The black shadow retreated from the original path, and Mu Yu was the only one sitting at the table in the room, his expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness, and it took a long time before he heard a sneer, "Since Mu Wei doesn't want to live, then I will do as he wishes. "The voice gradually became low, almost inaudible, "Soon, this kind of day is coming to an end..."

The author has something to say:

☆, childhood sweetheart

The torrential rain in summer gradually increased, and the rain continued continuously. This heavy rain gradually stopped from the evening of the first day to the morning of the next day. The rain dripped in a line along the eaves, and fell on the ground to accumulate small puddles after puddles. pit.

Thanks to the rain, the days of sweltering heat were relieved, and the breeze was blowing on the face with a hint of freshness of vegetation, which made people feel refreshed.

In the study room, Shimo knelt on the floor with red eyes, looking at Ah Hong expectantly.

"You mean, you want to pay in advance for the whole year of next year?" Shimo signed a contract of sale with Duan's family, including food and housing, and half a month's money back. Compared with other families, the treatment is already very good.Ah Hong knew that Shimo's monthly salary was handed over to his uncle to subsidize the family, but he usually didn't need the money, and now he suddenly asked for a year's salary advance, so he had to ask more questions.

Shimo is also quite uncertain, but he is in urgent need of money now, so he can only come to try it out, "Please housekeeper, I will repay you for being a cow and a horse for knowing ink." He kowtowed a few more times .

"Don't be so busy kowtowing, explain clearly what you want money for?" Shimo is an idiot, at least he is now a member of the Duan family, Ah Hong has to ask clearly, so as not to be deceived .

While wiping his tears, Shimo said in detail that it turned out to be Shimo's former neighbor, nicknamed Ajia, who was more than two years older than Shimo, whose father died early, and lived with Eminem because he couldn't afford the money to buy him. , also did the real work early.The two children of similar backgrounds have a very good relationship. Later, Shimo came to Duan's family to become a book boy and did not lose contact. He would visit each other every now and then when he was free.Until last month, Ah Jia's mother also died of illness. There was only one uncle who separated and cut off all contact with him after he got married. Now the uncle refuses to support him and wants to sell him to a brothel. He has negotiated a price with the brothel and is ready to Take him to see someone in a few days.

In fact, Shimo wanted to ask Ah Hong to take A Jia in, but he dismissed the idea as soon as he thought of it. The housekeeper and the young master have treated him very well, so he made this request again to make further progress. Ah Mu taught him how to be a man. point.Moreover, no matter how generous the Duan family was to others, they were serving as slaves after all, so they couldn't help themselves to make decisions. He didn't want Ajia to be like this.

After hearing Shimo's request, Ah Hong didn't immediately agree, but said: "Even if I give you a year's salary in advance, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it doesn't help him at all. Let alone just eat Where did the money come from? And, does your uncle know about this? Will he agree? You are not relatives, but neighbors, so do you still want to help him?"

"I...I can't let Ajia be sold to that kind of place...it's not a good place!" Shimo murmured, Ahong was right, but he always had to try.

Ah Hong sighed, "Okay, you go back and think carefully, and then tell me when you understand."

After Shimo walked away step by step, Duan Jian, who had been watching from the sidelines, said, "Just buy that little guy back, look at that kid's pitiful eyes, he must be his sweetheart, anyway, our family doesn't care about it." Lack of this meal."

The Duan family has a large enough population, and there is no shortage of servants to work, so buying it back is purely a display, and if he agrees to Shimo this time, what will others think?If there is another one, we can't keep all of them.Ah Hong glared at Duan Jian, this guy is not in charge of the family and does not know the price of oil and rice, besides, what is Duan Jian's tone, can buying someone be as easy as buying a cabbage on the street!What's more, the one I bought was a real young man...

Duan Jian rubbed her chin, and thought of another idea, "Why don't you put him in Yuyan Hall?"

"Don't make trouble, I have my own plan in mind."

Because there is a great god like Mu Yu in the family, the food is good, such as big fish and meat, Luocheng is incomparable with Longjing, and Mu Yu usually eats a lot, so he praises the home-cooked dishes. Juekou, especially the mushroom and fresh bamboo shoots, which are rare at this time of year, so Lin Li'er thought it was rare and specially sent them over.After Mu Yu ate it once, he couldn't forget it, so Ah Hong asked Lin Dong to come over as soon as he had it. Of course, Lin Dong didn't dare to neglect, and asked the people in the shop to go back to the countryside to collect it and deliver it to the door himself.

Today it was Lin Li'er who came to deliver the goods, and Ah Hong asked him to sit down and have a cup of tea, rest for a while before leaving, and then asked about the business in the store in a few words.

Lin Dong's dry goods store is doing well. He bought the shop next door last year. Now the business is booming. A Hong asked him if there was a shortage of manpower in the new store, and told him about A Jia's situation. He didn't agree immediately, but said that he would go back and ask her husband, "You know, I don't know much about these things in the store, but there was a long-term worker in the store who went back to his hometown to get married. I went back and asked Ah Dong if he would recruit again. personal hand."

Ah Hong said: "You don't have to be embarrassed, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter."

Early the next morning, Lin Dong came over, saying that he wanted to meet Ajia. Upon hearing his words, Ahong knew that he was [-]% sure, so he called Shimo and asked him to take Lin Dong to find Ajia's uncle. Shimo happily agreed repeatedly.

As expected, things went smoothly. Ajia's uncle separated the family completely more than ten years ago. Logically speaking, the real son who married off cannot be counted as a member of the family. He has no right to sell Ajia. Even Ajia's parents There is no reason to occupy the house left behind.Ajia's uncle was not convinced, and wanted to argue a few words. Lin Dong directly said to the government to reason, and the neighbors around him helped him, and pretended to go up and turn him away to the government. The other party was so scared that he turned around and ran away. Did the neighbors around the door see him? It was exciting to watch, so they dispersed in a noisy manner.

Shimo spat in the direction where the other party was fleeing, turned to Ajia and said, "Don't be afraid, Ajia, brother Adong is a good man, so you can do things with peace of mind. I will visit you later when I have time." of!"

Ajia seemed to be terrified, and hid behind Lin Dong, holding on to Lin Dong's sleeves, and then timidly revealed half of her head, "Is he really gone?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Dong smiled heartily. In his opinion, Ajia was thin and small, with a pointed face and yellow hair, which could be blown away by the wind, like a frightened little mouse.

The little mouse's eyes finally fell on Lin Dong's face, tears rolled in his eyes, and he pretended to kneel down for Lin Dong, so that Lin Dong quickly pulled him up, "No, you don't need to do this, you need to If you want to thank, please thank the housekeeper and the young master of the Duan family!"

After dealing with Uncle Ajia's troubles, Ajia's family was poor, and he didn't have much luggage to pack. He only brought a few changes of clothes, rolled up the burden, locked the door, and left with Shimo and Lin Dong.

Before going to Dong Lin's house, the three of them had to go to Duan Jian's house to thank Duan Jian and A Hong.

Ajia followed Shimo into Duan's house, and Ajia couldn't help but look up and look around along the way.The high-walled compound, the windows are bright and clean, and there are delicate flowers on the porch. The waiters are all dressed in red and green, which is better than the people outside. It is lucky to live in this kind of house and know ink. For Ah Hong who was sitting upright in the side hall, the light in A Jia's eyes became even brighter, and she couldn't help showing a hint of envy.

Shimo trusts him very much, and tells him whatever is in his heart. From Shimo's mouth, Ajia learned that the real manager of the Duan family is the butler Ahong. I heard that he was also a servant who served the master...

"...In that case, you can work at Dong Lin's house with peace of mind."

Ajia was still in a daze, not noticing what Ahong was saying to him, Shimo hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, Ajia came to her senses, knelt down and said, "Thank you, butler."

Ahong accepted his kneeling, and his tone was still calm, "Here is three taels of silver, you can take it." This real child looked timid, but he didn't like the way he lowered his head and glanced at people, let alone Said to put it at home, and gave some silver as a pass away, and beckoned them to go out after speaking.

Compared with Ajia's silence, Shimo was more joyful, pulling Ajia to chatter non-stop.After going out the back door, Lin Dong was already waiting at the alley, and Shimo waved reluctantly, "Ajia, you have to be well! I will see you when I have time!"

Lin Dong smiled, "Okay, I won't eat him, so just rest assured, you'd better go back after you've been out for so long, otherwise Young Master Duan will punish you."

The author has something to say: don't be deceived by the title, the childhood sweetheart here refers to the childhood sweetheart who knows ink.

Speaking of which, when I was happily opening a new hole, I suddenly found out in horror that there are [-] words left in the manuscript of this article... so sad_(:з」∠)_

☆, with whom to elope

Of course Duan Jian would not punish him, but she just heard Ah Hong say to give that Ajia three taels of silver, and said with a straight face; "The three taels of silver will be deducted from Shimo's wages."

Now that Ajia has a place to go, Shimo is very happy. He is willing to be detained for 30 years, not to mention three years. He immediately responded, "Thank you, young master!"

Originally, I just wanted to scare him, but I didn't expect this kid to be so happy when he heard that the money would be deducted. Duan Jian glared at Shimo and said angrily, "Why did I buy such a stupid piece of wood like you! Don't be caught Sell ​​it and pay for it.”

The scolded person stood and giggled.

At this time, Ah Hong said: "Shimo, you don't have to serve the young master these few days."

"Ah?" The smirking man's smile froze on his face, and he panicked.

"Don't be nervous, I just want you to serve Young Master Mu for a few days." Ah Hong was actually very helpless, Lian Lie was causing them a lot of trouble.

Mu Yu didn't leave after he recovered from his injury, and spent the whole day running around in the backyard, either molesting this or that, and he didn't care about meat and vegetables, the first person who sent him to serve him, Li Shu, came to Ah Hong several times crying, kneeling and kowtowing He said that he didn't want to serve Young Master Mu anymore.

Ah Hong was also taken aback when he saw Shishu's miserable appearance. Shishu's hair was disheveled, and his neckline was a little crooked. It really can't help but remind people of that aspect. He is still an unmarried son, although he was sold to the Duan family As a servant, he still has to marry in the future. If something really happens, let him live.

But Mu Yu had to arrange someone to wait on him. The two young sons in the family were both unmarried, let alone men. No matter how ridiculous Mu Yu was, he was a young master. Shimo pushes it out.

Duan Jian was quite indifferent to this, "Anyway, that kid is only twelve this year, and he won't lose a piece of meat after being touched a few times." I'm afraid that the stupid kid won't realize it if his whole body is touched. The other party is taking advantage of him, right?

But having said that, I am afraid that normal men will never think about being taken advantage of by Shi Zi, so they can only say Mu Yu... Sigh!

"...It seems that Shimo can only be wronged." Ah Hong felt a headache when he thought about it.

Although Duan Jian usually has a distasteful tone when mentioning Shimo, Ah Hong knows that Duan Jian actually likes this little guy very much. No matter how disgusted it is, it's just talking.

Duan Jian also said: "Shimo, Master Mu is an important guest of our family, you have to take care of him, and the young master will reward you a lot when you come back."

Since the young master said it, on the day of recognizing ink, he happily went to Mu Yu's side to wait for orders.

I have to say that Ah Hong chose the right person this time.For such a difficult person as Mu Yu, there is often nothing he can do about Shang Shimo's silly smiling face.

After living in peace for two days, before Mu Yu's patience disappeared, Lian Lie finally appeared.

It’s rainy in summer, and it’s cloudy before evening, with dark clouds pressing down on the ground, and thunder and lightning flashing in the distance from time to time. It’s only a blink of an eye from the first raindrop falling to the pouring rain. Pedestrians rush home to hide from the rain. The streets suddenly became empty.

Lian Lie and his companions wore thick coir raincoats and knocked on the door of Duan's house. After waiting for a while under the eaves, the seeping rain wetted a small piece of ground at their feet.

"This rain is really heavy! But it's not like this, and it's not convenient for us to enter the city." The companion took off his bamboo hat and shook the water drops on his head. Only then did everyone see his true face. He was actually in his twenties He is a young man with red thread piercing his ears and wearing a man's hair bun. His appearance is not very outstanding, but his thick eyebrows and big eyes are very energetic. Seeing Ah Hong looking over, he grinned, showing two pointed canine teeth, and said, "Ma'am, Can I lend you a suit to wear?"

Ah Hong glanced at Duan Jian, turned around and nodded, "Please come with me, I am the housekeeper of the mansion, it is good for guests to call me Ah Hong."

"But Ariel clearly said that... Oh, by the way, my name is Guan Linyue, and I am the second child. You can call me Lin Yue, or you can call me Guan Er." Everyone in the room can hear it.

Lian Lie was embarrassed: "Guan Er is so informal
