The young man walked downstairs quietly, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure disappearing from his sight.
Isn’t that the young man suspected of being Gong Cheng’s wife’s brother?
Why did this person leave now?
The young man called a servant to ask what was going on and what was the purpose of Shen Tang's stay in Yuehua Building. Unexpectedly, the servant replied with an envious look on his face: "You mean that little lady? She came to redeem her husband. She is here. Lao Chu, who does odd jobs in the kitchen, is so filial."
Hearing this, the young man lowered his eyelids and looked thoughtful.
"Who is Lao Chu you are talking about?"
Since he is the heir of the Shen family, even if Aweng was killed by the guillotine, how could he do odd jobs in the kitchen of Yuehua Building?
There are already a lot of doubts about this person. At this time, he didn't forget to hire a servant. Why did he buy an elderly handyman back?
The young man's eyes darkened slightly, and his thoughts turned over a million times.
He is very careful and suspicious, so naturally he won't let it go.
"Well... I've only been here for three months, so I don't know much about it. I just know that Lao Chu works in the kitchen and is a weirdo who talks little."
Even if he couldn't answer, the young man wouldn't embarrass him.
"Call your boss here."
Outside Yuehua Building.
Mr. Chu held a shabby package in his arms and looked at the deserted street with a calm expression. Shen Tang stood aside and kept silent. The shopkeeper deliberately gave up space to the "grandfather and grandson" who had been separated for many years. It was a good time to reminisce about old times, and since it was still daytime, even in the crowded Goulanwashe, there should be no danger, so I safely said goodbye and went back to the shop to see the business.
After watching the shopkeeper leave, Shen Tang raised her head and glanced at Mr. Chu again, who still had the same expression. She opened her mouth, worried about finding a topic to break the awkward atmosphere, when her own motorcycle trotted forward with the reins in her mouth, her head Gently push into her arms.
Shen Tang subconsciously took it.
She thought of how to find a topic.
"Mr. Chu, there's still a long way to go back, why don't you first get on... the back of a mule?" She wanted to say "on the back of a horse," but no matter how tall and beautiful her motorcycle was, it was still a mule, not a horse.
You can't call a mule a horse...
"Mr. Chu?"
Shen Tang called softly again, which was enough to wake up Mr. Chu who seemed to be in a trance.
He glanced at the motorcycle, which was looking at him.
He then looked at the young man, who was not as tall as his chest and was also the new head of the house. The head of the house was also looking at him.
Being stared at by the man and the mule with the same eyes, he felt a little subtle, moved the corners of his mouth slightly, lowered his head and said: "I don't dare."
Shen Tang: "..."
He called him "slave", but his temperament and his eyes were incompatible with this self-proclaimed person. She felt uncomfortable no matter what she heard. So she waved her hand and said: "Mr. Chu, there is no need for this 'slave'. You It doesn’t matter if you call yourself by your first or last name.”
Mr. Chu was startled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything to refute, he just followed the flow and responded.
"yes."
"Then what is your name? My surname is Shen, my given name is Youli, and I come from a family background..." Exchanging names is one of the signs of getting closer to each other. Shen Tang followed the standard format of self-introduction and paused when he mentioned the ranking - —Where do you go to your home?
Forget it, I can't think of it at the moment, it's not important.
She then made up a random number.
"Xing Wu, you can call me Wu Lang."
If you call her Fifth Lady, she won't have any objection.
only--
Such a beautiful girl is often mistaken for a handsome man. There is something wrong with the eyes of the indigenous people in this world.
Mr. Chu said: "Chu, Chu Yao, the word is Wuhui."
"Chu Yao? What a good name. 'The banners and flags are disturbed by the clouds, and the sharp blades are scattered in the forest. Yang Hui spits fire, and the fields of rays cover the lake'. Yao means brilliance, and the rays are brilliant, and the word is 'Wuhui', which means there is no darkness or darkness. , the meaning is very good." Shen Tang habitually gave a wave of business compliments and swallowed back his complaints.
Blessings are good, as are names and words, but unfortunately reality and blessings are often contrary to each other. The person who chose the name hopes that his life will be "bright and brilliant, without darkness or obscurity", but as a result, he was bought to be a kitchen and dishwasher at a young age. After washing the dishes, it seems that I have been crippled and lost my literary heart.
Alas, it is simply miserable.
Shen Tang brought up old things again, pointed at the motorcycle with innocent eyes and said, "Sir, do you want to ride it? The motorcycle is very good, and it goes smoothly without bumps."
Chu Yao took the reins of the motorcycle from Shen Tang and gestured with his eyes for her to get on the back of the mule. After she sat firmly, he said quietly: "There is no way the master walks and the servant rides. This is against the rules."
Shen Tang muttered: "How can there be so many rules..."
She bought Lao Chu back to take over Qi Shan's job of "guiding NPCs". She really had no intention of letting the elderly man take care of her, not to mention that he would play the role of "half master" in the future.
Chu Yao said: "It's different."
Shen Tang was confused: "What's different?"
Respecting the old and loving the young is the same everywhere.
Chu Yao held the reins in one hand and his old parcel in the other, and walked towards the street. Instead of answering "What's different?", he asked a somewhat strange question.
"How much money did Goro buy it for?"
This is asking how much it cost to buy him?
Shen Tang looked hesitant: "Although, I should have taken into account my husband's mood and quoted a higher price, but this is not honest... The principal originally planned to bid five taels, but he misunderstood the relationship between you and me, thinking that we, grandson and grandson, sympathize with each other. Then I took the initiative to reduce it by two taels."
But she didn't know that Chu Yao, who was facing away from her, had a strange expression on his face for a moment, which seemed to be doubtful and struggling. It was complicated and incomprehensible, and she didn't respond for a long time. Shen Tang was wondering if he was ignoring people, but Listen to him murmuring: "So... it's three liang?"
Shen Tang: "..."
Five minus two equals three…
Is this math problem so difficult?
Have you been hesitating for so long?
Be confident, it’s just three or two!
"Yes, three taels, the calculation should be correct..." Shen Tang clapped his fingers, convinced that he had calculated correctly, and then doubted whether he had found the wrong person - he had to hesitate again and again for an arithmetic question of this level. , Mr. Chu is really as awesome as Qishan said?
Or is she the only one praying for good?
So Shen Tang asked a question that he had been holding back for a long time: "Yuan Liang said before that the husband is talented. Talented people, even if they are in the trough, can always find ways to make themselves better off. Why doesn't the husband redeem himself and leave? Still can’t redeem yourself?”
Although livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep are sold cheaply, no matter how cheap they are, they still cost money to buy. Many ordinary people can't afford it. It can be seen that Chu Yao lived in poverty but did not have no income. He lived in Yuehua Building, Xiaocheng After so many years as a chef, you haven't thought about finding a part-time job to earn a little money to redeem yourself?
He was educated and capable, and was more popular than ordinary people wherever he went, so Shen Tang was puzzled.
"Before the Xin Kingdom was destroyed, a sinner like me could not redeem myself."
Shen Tang said: "But the Xin Kingdom has been destroyed."
This rule is naturally invalidated.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yao said something that puzzled her.
"It's not that I don't want to, and it's not that I can't."
"ah?"
Chu Yao smiled with some confusion and helplessness, and sighed as if he was resigned to his fate. The next sentence successfully made Shen Tang confused and full of questions.
He said: "I'm waiting for Wulang's three taels of silver."
