I'm just a dude

Qi Yuan hasn't looked at the horse since he bought it back.He loves that little guy so much, so every day when he wakes up, he is very motivated, thinking about what to make today, what kind of grass to feed the pony, and what kind of saddle to match in the future.

Now that things have changed so suddenly, he may not even see the pony grow up.

Xu Yu waited in front in silence, Qi Yuan wrinkled his nose, swallowed the vague grievance, and nodded at him.

When the two of them arrived at the Duke's Mansion, the door-closing drum just sounded.Qi Yuan stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion stepping on the last ray of the setting sun.

Xu Yu asked someone to take the red-maned horse away and led him to the back.

Qi Yuan was silent all the way, seeing that Xu Yu didn't avoid the servants in the house, he couldn't help reminding in a low voice, "Don't you need to pay attention?"

Xu Yu raised her head and glanced at him.

Qi Yuan asked: "Will it cause you any trouble?"

"No." Xu Yu said, "They dare not."

Qi Yuan didn't speak.Although he doesn't understand government affairs, he also knows about the return of the world certificate by the Duke.What's more, the crime of treason against the enemy is unusual. Who would dare to suffer from this kind of turmoil?Ruan Hong, a dude in the old mansion, only dared to ask You Ji to send him a message to comfort him, but now even a note, even the servants of the Ruan mansion dare not use it.

Qi Yuan didn't want to involve his friend, so he looked at Xu Xuan seriously.

"I have already told my father." Xu Yu said again, "Don't worry, I know."

Qi Yuan didn't expect the Grand Duke to know that he was coming, he was slightly taken aback, and then smiled.

The two walked side by side, Xu Yu hesitated, hesitating and didn't know how to speak.

In a few days, the three divisions will interrogate, if the personal soldier accuses Qi Zhuo of rebellious intentions, Qi Yuan will inevitably be interrogated.Xu Yu has been worried about this for the past few days. He is afraid that Qi Yuan will be timid and frightened, and he will be frightened in class, and he is also afraid that he will be bold and not afraid, and risk his life to confront the people from the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. .

But this topic is a bit heavy, Xu Yu turned her head, saw Qi Yuan's eyes were bright, he seemed to be looking forward to seeing his pony, hesitated for a while, and decided to wait until the evening to bring up this topic.

The two walked all the way to the stable in the back.The sky had already darkened, and the silver-white pony was very alert. He snorted when he heard someone approaching, and looked towards the direction with his beautiful eyes.

Qi Yuan turned the corner, and when he saw it, he was elated and ran over.

Xu Ting said: "This little guy is very fierce, and he was not even allowed to be touched for the first few days. The first time I took him to take a bath in the river, he thought others were going to ride him, kicked and injured three or four people, and almost ran away Fortunately, I understand now, every three days, I count the time, and whoever comes to feed the water, it will stick its face to the person and go to the river to play."

In summer, it is hot, so you have to take horses to the depths of Hanoi to soak their hoofs. There are many famous horses in the Duke's mansion, most of them are docile, but this is the first one with such a ghostly spirit.

Xu Yu was also very surprised when he heard the servants talking about it. Later, seeing that it was really the case, he was no longer willing to let others lead it out.Every three days, he would come to feed it by himself, feed it water, and then take it out to play.

The pony observed it a few times, and seemed to understand who is the boss of the mansion, and now he is only willing to show courteousness to him.

Xu Yu felt that it must be the horse following the master, so when talking about this matter, she couldn't help but glanced at Qi Yuan with a smile.

Sure enough, Qi Yuan only looked at the pony and smiled, with a look of doting on him.The horse also looked at him with handsome eyes.

Qi Yuan asked, "Can I touch it?"

"Yes." Xu Yu smiled, "You are outside, it can't kick you."

Qi Yuan said "Mm", carefully stretched out his hand, and gently touched Xiao Ma's face.

The horse was also spiritual, and even snorted, and voluntarily stuck it to his hand.

Qi Yuan's eyes widened, he held back his excitement, and reluctantly touched the horse's head and neck over and over again.

One person and one horse have been so silly and crooked for a long time.

Seeing that he was unwilling to leave, Xu Yu just quietly accompanied him, talking to him in a low voice.

Qi Yuan was curious: "What do horses eat every day?"

"Grass, material, wheat bran." Xu Yu also lightly touched the pony's face, and the little guy's thickly sung eyelashes swept across his palm, and his heart softened, "Grass is mowed every day." The new grass that comes, sifts out the rocks and soil. The ingredients are barley, chrysanthemum, mung beans, peas, black beans, etc., and then mixed with wheat bran."

When Xu Yu said this, he couldn't help laughing, "Everyone in the house likes him, so whether it's water or materials, his things are the first to be replaced."

"So troublesome?" Qi Yuan said softly, "Then is the money I gave enough?"

Xu Yu replied, "Enough."

Qi Yuan secretly calculated in his heart, feeling that it was too much.That is, the material money is enough, but the labor cost is unaffordable.Three times a day, new food and water are required for meals, grooms come to feed them at regular times, and they have to get up in the middle of the night... A good horse is really not something ordinary people can afford.

"It's fine if it's here with you." Qi Yuan reluctantly let go of his hand, and smiled, "From now on, you will be its master. I can rest assured that it will follow you."

Xu Yu was startled, and looked up at him.

Qi Yuan, however, acted nonchalantly: "Tomorrow, I will go to my mother's shop first to check the accounts. I will send the prepared incense pills to others in the afternoon, so that I can get a lot of money. I originally planned to take these Make the principal so that the shop can be repurposed, and it probably won’t be needed now.”

It was getting dark, and the Duke's Mansion lit up lamps everywhere.The light here in the stable is subtle, and even the silhouettes of people are blurred a lot.

Xu Yu's heart moved, and she called out in a low voice: "Feng Zhou..."

Qi Yuan responded lightly, then paused, "Brother Zijing, great kindness... I won't thank you."

"In a few days, I may go to jail, so I have to trouble you with this money, half of it will be given to Miss Fu of Fu Xiang Mansion." Qi Yuan said, "Qi... Yun Lan has been taken care of by her for many years, and now she leaves without saying goodbye, I hope she will forgive me. "

Xu Yu looked at him in the dark, without making a sound.Everyone knows that this is talking about Yun Lan, but it actually refers to Qi Yuan himself.Xu Yu has always been unsure whether the rumors are true or not, now that he heard what Qi Yuan said, he knew everything in his heart.

He turned his head and said after a while: "Okay."

Qi Yuan paused for a moment, then said: "The other half is for Big Brother Fang. Big Brother Fang doesn't have much money on him, and he has two elders to take care of him. I hope this money can relieve his worries. Now I'm looking at Brother Fang's high school."

"Brother Fang is a great talent, and he will definitely win the exam." Xu Yu nodded, "I promise you this too."

Qi Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and smiled gratefully at him, only to find that the surroundings were pitch black.There is no moon tonight, although the two are close, neither can see who is clear.

I have always been afraid of the dark, and today I have something on my mind, but I didn't notice what I said here for a long time.

Qi Yuan smiled helplessly.

"Let's go eat." Xu Yu said, "I'll take you out."

In the darkness, he reached out and grabbed Qi Yuan's wrist.

Qi Yuan was about to follow, but he felt that Xu Ting let go of his wrist, and instead put his hand into his sleeve, interlocking his fingers.

The two walked out holding hands, Qi Yuan felt it was weird, but he didn't hate it in his heart, so he followed closely.It wasn't until he walked out of the stable that it was bright outside that Xu Wei let go of him and took him to his own yard.

The servants quickly put out the food and wine, Qi Yuan still ate with Xu Yu as usual, occasionally saying a few words.It was not early after dinner, so Qi Yuan followed his servants to the ear room to rest.But this time, Qi Yuan didn't fall asleep until midnight.

He didn't know whether it was because he didn't get used to it after changing the place, or because his heart was not as peaceful as it appeared, Qi Yuan opened his eyes and stared at the bed curtain above his head in a daze for a long time, but he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

He heard the buzzing of insects in the courtyard, and the sound of watchmen on the street in the distance. He counted silently. speaking voice.

Xu Yu was worried, so she came to find her in the middle of the night.He wasn't surprised to see that Qi Yuan wasn't asleep, he just lit the candle beside the bed, then took off his shoes and went to bed, lay down on his side, blocking Qi Yuan's outside.

After a while, Qi Yuan leaned over gently, hugged Xu Yu's waist like he did the first night, and buried his face in his chest.

Xu Yu sighed inaudibly.

"Are you afraid?" He asked softly.

Stuffed in his arms, Qi Yuan shook his head, and after a while, nodded again.

"It's right to be afraid." Xu Yu rubbed his head, and said slowly, "I'm afraid that you are too courageous, if you risk your life, you will lose your life, and you will fight to the end with everyone."

"I'm not stupid." Qi Yuan said in a muffled voice, "but I haven't seen the Yamen either. I'm afraid that if I get scared first, I'll be bluffed by them and do something stupid. So I can't be afraid. ..."

When he said this, he suddenly felt a little wronged, and his nasal voice became heavy.

But Xu Yu said: "It's okay to be afraid. Among the three divisions, those from the Ministry of Punishment may have selfish motives, but there is our Dali Temple behind us. I will also plead with Master Zhu to let him take me. If you are afraid at that time Just look up at me, I'll try to help you."

Qi Yuan was taken aback, "Can you go?"

"There will be a solution." Xu Xuan said, "But the three divisions will interrogate. The first trial is the presiding judge of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the retrial is the presiding judge of Dali Temple. If you encounter difficulties from them during the initial trial, don't be emotional, or you will suffer. I will Use some money, you just need to persist until the review. Mr. Zhu is honest and careful, good at breaking prisons, and he will definitely rehabilitate uncle."

These are also the words of the Duke of the country.

When Xu Yu told his father about Qi Yuan, he was ready to bear his father's scolding, but the Duke of the State said that with the presence of Dali Temple Minister, the case would never be unclear.In addition, although he didn't want to have anything to do with Uncle Zhongyuan's mansion, since Xu Yu and Qi Yuan are good friends, he would not blame his son for running around for him.

Qi Yuan didn't know about this, but Xu Yu said that Mr. Zhu is a good official, which gave him more courage.

Xu Yu looked down at him, and smiled comfortingly.

Qi Yuan looked at Xu Yu's handsome face under the dim candlelight, and his heart flickered for a moment.

He couldn't help hugging Xu Yu's arms coquettishly, and whispered, "You are so kind to me."

The ending sound rises slightly, with a little imperceptible pride.

Sensitively aware of this, Xu Yu was easily pleased by this little pride, and chuckled lightly.

Because of the hot weather, the two of them did not fall asleep, so they did not cover the quilt at this time.Qi Yuan buried his face in his arms, revealing his pale neck.But the ankle is close to his ankle.

Xu Yu was surprised to find that Qi Yuan was also growing up before he knew it.Obviously not long ago, this person stepped on the back of his feet, and the top of his head just reached his chin.

Qi Yuan is indeed changing, becoming stable and growing taller, maybe one day, he will grow up to marry a wife and have children, start a family and start a business.

Qi Yuan was muttering to Xu Xuan, but he didn't hear a reply for a long time, so he couldn't help but raised his head in doubt, "What are you thinking?"

Xu Yu was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, "What's the matter, what did you just say?"

Qi Yuan shook his head, "It's nothing, just chatting nonsense. Are you sleepy?"

"No." Xu Yu paused, but her heart was still filled with depression.

Qi Yuan didn't believe it, and blinked at him.

In the dead of night, Xu Yu suddenly felt that the fruit wine tonight might be a bit intoxicating.

"You just said... I'm a good person?" Xu Xuan raised her hand, lightly clasped the back of Qi Yuan's head, looked into his eyes and asked, "What if I'm so kind to others?"

Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what he meant.

Xu Yu said: "For example, Yun Ji... He was originally the only son of the Qianjiang prefect, but his father was framed, so he joined the Jiaofang Division..."

That person with picturesque eyebrows and even seductive eyes suddenly popped out of his mind.Qi Yuan's body stiffened unconsciously, he couldn't explain why, but he was very repulsive to that person.Especially the way that person looked at Xu Yu and the way he spoke to Xu Yu made him very unhappy.

Now Xu Yu said...if it was Yun Ji, he would help like this...

Qi Yuan's heart seemed to be blocked by something, he couldn't help feeling bored, although he tried his best to control it, but his face still turned cold.He subconsciously frowned and was about to step back.

Xu Yu didn't allow him to dodge, and put his big hands on his waist to prevent him from moving.

Qi Yuan suddenly got a little irritable, and went to break his fingers without saying a word, with great strength, as if he was angry with someone.

"Feng Zhou." Xu Xuan asked suddenly, "You left something for Miss Fu and Fang Jinzhi, why didn't you leave something for me?"

Qi Yuan's movement of breaking his hand froze.

"No." Qi Yuan said, "I forgot about you."

After he finished speaking, he didn't know where his temper came from, so he couldn't help but add, "If you help Yun Ji, he will never forget you."

"I didn't help him. If he was my Yunji, he wouldn't be working in Huajian." Xu Yu asked, "Are you angry?"

Qi Yuan angrily raised his eyes to stare at him, there was still some grievance in his eyes.

Seeing him like this, Xu Yu's heart suddenly softened, and she was also slightly happy.

"I was wrong." He couldn't help smiling, and poked Qi Yuan with puffed cheeks, "I'm closest to you, so I won't compare you with others in the future, okay?"

"Who cares about that?" Qi Yuan was flustered by his smile, turned his head, and hummed softly, "I'm not going to kiss you."

"Really?" Xu Yu lifted him up.

The eyes of the two were at the same level, and their faces were very close to each other.

"You forgot to leave something for me, can I have one?" Xu Yu lowered her voice and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

The two were too close, and each other's breath fell softly on their faces.

Qi Yuan swallowed, "What do you want?"

The chirping of insects outside was a bit noisy, Qi Yuan was flustered by the noise, and he had nowhere to rest his hands and feet.He seemed to hear his own heart beating violently against his chest, but for a moment he was in a trance, thinking it was Xu Xuan's...

The two were too close.

Qi Yuan's mouth was parched, and he quietly backed away, but before he could back away, someone blocked his mouth.

The candlelight was flickering, the room was fragrant, and Qi Yuan's face suddenly became hot.

Xu Yu lightly pecked him once, but backed away a little, and coaxed in a low voice: "Fengzhou...close your eyes."
