As soon as Chu Jiu finished speaking, his legs felt numb and he almost rolled into the pit next to him in a dusty state.

Chujiu didn't dare to speak anymore, and the third master became more and more moody. He was punished to feed pigs and ducks during the day, and his body was filled with the smell of a pigpen. Even the five black chickens despise him.

After he worked hard for half a day, the five-black chickens' two strong chicken feet and palm-shaped wings rushed over and drove him out before he stopped.

He took a cold shower in the cold wind, trembled into the door, slept in the corner for half an hour. After waking up, he heard a chicken crow in his ears. He opened his eyes and saw a few reed chickens playing happily. He was admiring the morning when the birds were singing and flowers, but gradually found that things were a little weird. The reed chickens looked at him with pairs of chicken eyes, as if they were looking at a fool. He got up and wanted to figure it out clearly. The reed chickens ran away one after another. Then he saw his clothes that were riddled with holes and were still a few pieces of hot chicken shit on his clothes.

It was too much, Chu Jiu felt cold. Wu Hei Chicken did this, must have been instructed by the Third Master. Ma Shan was ridden by someone, and Ren Shan was bullied by the Chicken. If he hadn't stole Zhang Tong's robe, he would have gone out naked. He was not angry with Master San. Sooner or later, the Third Master would wake up and find that he was the most loyal guard in the world. After understanding his hard work, he would hug him and cry bitterly, and regret not treating him well for many years.

At that time, he should not give too much reward, just start a family and start a career, nor does he do it for himself. He should not have to have a eldest son quickly, and in the future he will follow the eldest son of the third master. This is called debts from the father and son.

Chujiu was thinking randomly when he suddenly heard the sound of clothes stretching beside him. He turned around and found that the third master was missing. Chujiu looked up at the courtyard wall of the Gu family just now.

Did the Third Master read the script too? He actually knew how to climb over the wall and enter the room...

...

Gu Mingzhu looked at the box on the table, and she knew it was a shadow play.

Mrs. Lin smiled and said to the Cui family: "Brother Zhen came back from the northern border and wanted to buy these for Zhuzhu."

"The Marquis didn't buy it on purpose," said the manager of the Cui family. "When I was resting on the road, I encountered a family's carriage and horse breakdown. The Marquis ordered us to help. The old man in that family was a craftsman who did shadow dramas, so he bought these from them."

Mrs. Lin said: "Brother Zhen is intent."

The manager of the Cui family saluted: "I learned some from the craftsman and knew how to make these shadows move. If the young lady wants to see, I will fiddle with her."

Gu Mingzhu nodded and looked at Mrs. Lin with joy: "Let Brother Xiang come too."

Mrs. Lin smiled and ordered: "Go and pick up Brother Xiang, just say I'll call him."

Yang's mother ordered someone to find Zou Xiang, and the manager of the Cui family set aside the shadow opera box and began to organize the items in the box.

By the time Zou Xiang was called, the manager of the Cui family was ready.

Zou Xiang didn't know what Mrs. Lin was calling him to do. When he saw a piece of cloth in the room, something seemed to be shaking behind the cloth, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Brother Xiang." Mrs. Lin waved to Zou Xiang, "Sit over and watch the shadow show."

Zou Xiang then walked over and was about to bow and salute, but was immediately interrupted by Mrs. Lin: "Don't be so reserved at home."

After Zou Xiang sat down, the Cui family manager danced the shadow puppet in his hand. Zou Xiang was soon attracted by the novelty in front of him, and many things were left behind by him at this moment.

"Does it look good?"

Zou Xiang vaguely heard a sound coming from his ears.

Zou Xiang nodded subconsciously: "It looks good."

"This is brought by my elder brother." Gu Mingzhu continued.

Zou Xiang still had no special reaction.

Gu Mingzhu whispered: "Brother has just returned to Beijing after the war."

The words of returning to Beijing just now seemed to touch Zou Xiang, and Zou Xiang moved his eyes away from the shadow puppet.

"Don't you know the eldest brother?" Gu Mingzhu asked Zou Xiang.

Zou Xiang didn't say anything, and Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "The first time Brother Xiang came to Beijing, and she hadn't been to Dingning Marquis' Mansion to pay a visit, so naturally she didn't know."

Dingning Hou, these three words suddenly made Zou Xiang clench his hand, and the complicated voice flashed through his face, but soon he lowered his head and covered his uncontrollable expression, as if he had just made a mistake and was beaten.

Until the shadow play was finished, Zou Xiang did not raise his head again.

The manager of the Cui family left, Gu Mingzhu opened the box of the shadow play, took out a few shadow puppets from it, and then she looked at Zou Xiang: "Do you like it?"

Zou Xiang shook his head: "No...I...just look...no...thank you, Miss." It seemed that these things had teeth, which made Zou Xiang avoid it, and his eyes were slightly red.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't bear it for a moment. If she wanted to test Zou Xiang's identity and intention, she would inevitably start with Zou Xiang. Children are most likely to show strangeness. Although Zou Xiang is pitiful, she cannot be soft-hearted for a while, because the person behind the scenes is too cunning. If someone uses Zou Xiang to deal with her father, she cannot let her father be plotted against and fall into danger. It would be a good thing for Zou Xiang to find out earlier.

Just now, Zou Xiang reacted very much to Dingning Hou and the Cui family. Zou Xiang's expression was very complicated. She could see clearly that Zou Xiang had some resistance and resentment in his emotions.

Zou Xiang stood up and saluted Mrs. Lin and Gu Mingzhu and left. Zou Xiang was anxious when he left. Gu Mingzhu glanced at Baotong, and Baotong immediately followed.

Zou Xiang trotted all the way back to the guest room.

Zou Linshi looked at Zou Xiang panting for a moment: "What's wrong?"

The servant of the Gu family retreated in the room. Zou Xiang arrived in front of the Zou Lin kang and lay on the edge of the kang. At this time, Zou Xiang looked like an ordinary child.

"Zou Xiang." Zou Lin was about to scold him.

"It was something he sent," Zou Xiang whispered, "If I had known... I wouldn't have gone to see it... I hate him and wished he would die.

Both him and Zhang should die.”

"Shhh," Zou Linshi reached out and covered Zou Xiang's mouth, "Don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense, I will...I don't want you anymore."

"You didn't want me anymore," Zou Xiang looked up, his face full of tears, "You're almost dead."

Zou Lin was speechless for a moment, and the tender face in front of her made her feel cold in her heart.

Zou Xiang said: "Or you take me away. No one wants me, and I will suffer if I stay."

When Zou Lin felt uncomfortable, he took advantage of the fact that no one in the room had ever complained about saying such words, and I don’t know why Zou Xiang heard it.

...

Gu Mingzhu sat in the pavilion, listening to what Zou Xiang said, it seemed to have a grudge against Cui Zhen and Zhang. Where did the three or four-year-old child get along with the couple Dingning Hou? For a child, the most important thing is the father and mother.

Baotong said, "Maybe Dingning Hou harmed his parents." Following the eldest lady, her mind also became enlightened.

Gu Mingzhu said: "There is..." Before she could express the word "There is...", she saw a figure pushing away the branches not far away and walking towards her.

"Mr. Wei..."

Lord Wei cannot come in through the main entrance, otherwise the manager's mother would definitely come to report.

"Sir," Gu Mingzhu said when Wei Yuanchen walked up to him, "Why did you come?" You can't get into a dog hole like her, right?

"The walls of the Hou Mansion are not high enough." Wei Yuanchen said lightly, and jumped in without hesitation.

When something went to the point of jumping over the wall, Gu Mingzhu pursed her lips.

Wei Yuanchen looked calm, and jumping over the wall and walking through the gate seemed no different to him: "I asked someone to find out the relationship between Mr. Shen Er of the Imperial College and Yan Chan."
