Chapter 1181: Abandoning Darkness and Turning to Light
Inner courtyard, Chai Yan's room.
"Bang bang bang... bang bang bang..."
Chai Yan, who was still sleeping in bed, was suddenly woken up by a rapid knock on the door.
Before he could fully open his eyes, Chai Yan heard Xiaokui's shout: "Master, please wake up quickly, something happened outside, Master..."
Chai Yan suddenly woke up a lot, got up quickly, ran out and opened the door, and asked: "What's wrong, Xiaokui, what happened?"
Xiaokui pointed in the direction of the door and said anxiously: "Master, there is a group of bad guys at the door. They have already rushed into the house. Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun are blocking them. Master, please go and have a look!"
"Someone broke into the house?" Chai Yan thought he heard wrongly. This is the capital. Who dares to be so bold?
But seeing Xiaokui's anxious look, Chai Yan knew something must have happened, so he didn't delay and ran to the door in his pajamas.
Soon, Chai Yan ran near the vestibule of the gate, when he heard two familiar voices coming from the other side of the gate...
"Listen to me, we are really not bad people. Now we are all running errands for Mr. Chai. If you don't believe it, just ask Mr. Chai!"
"That's right. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Chai! Besides, if we were bad guys, would we still be here talking quickly and slowly?"
Chai Yan could tell that the first voice was Ge Hong's, the second was Cheng Jiu's, and there was also Guan Maochun's voice, but he couldn't hear clearly what Guan Maochun said.
Then came the voices of Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun.
Uncle Cai said loudly: "Cuiyun, don't be afraid, I'm here to support you, go and report to the official!"
Aunt Yun said: "It's wrong, Lao Cai, I'm the one responsible for it. You go report it to the official, go ahead!"
When Chai Yan heard the noise, he quickly ran over and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, stop!"
Chai Yan's appearance immediately turned the attention of both parties.
"Sir, you are here!" Ge Hong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Jiu also said: "Sir, tell them quickly, we are not bad people..."
Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun were stunned when they saw it, thinking that the young master and these people really knew each other.
Uncle Cai asked: "Master, what is going on...?"
Aunt Yun held the pole with both hands and asked in confusion: "Master, weren't those two people given to us last time..."
Chai Yan immediately explained: "Uncle Cai, Aunt Yun, this is all my fault. I forgot to tell you this. The five of them, Lao Ge, are now working under me. We are all our own people. Hurry up and get rid of them."
Put away the pole and stop making fun of us."
Aunt Yun nodded hurriedly and put the pole against the wall nearby.
Uncle Cai asked: "Master, why...how did it become like this?"
Chai Yan said patiently: "Uncle Cai, the process of this is quite tortuous. I will tell you slowly when I have time. Now let them enter the house first, lest the noise becomes too big and the neighbors next door are disturbed. Then there will be no
alright."
"Yes, yes, the young master is right." Uncle Cai nodded quickly.
Chai Yan turned around and said to Ge Hong and the others: "Old Ge, you go sit in the hall first, and I'll put on some clothes..."
"Thank you, sir."
After Ge Hong finished speaking, he led everyone to salute Chai Yan.
As Chai Yan walked inside, he said to Xiaokui: "Xiaokui, take everyone in and sit down, boil water and make tea, and get some food for everyone..."
Xiaokui nodded immediately: "Yes, Master!"
After Chai Yan left, Xiaokui plucked up the courage and walked towards Ge Hong and the others timidly, saying weakly: "Guys...come with me..."
Ge Hong said very politely: "Then there is Miss Lao Xiaokui."
Xiaokui hurriedly waved her hands and shook her head: "No...you're welcome..."
Then, under the watchful eyes of Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun, Ge Hong and the others followed Xiaokui to the main hall.
After everyone entered, Uncle Cai panted and walked to close the door. When he walked to the door, he saw that there were passers-by outside looking into the house. He immediately frowned and said angrily: "Okay, okay.
No, there’s nothing to see.”
After saying that, Uncle Cai quickly closed the door.
Uncle Cai bolted the door and looked back. Aunt Yun was looking in the direction of the main hall, so he walked over and whispered: "Cuiyun, what do you think the young master did? We just arrested them and sent them to the government office, but...
In the blink of an eye, these people have become our family's nursing home? Don't let the wolf enter the house..."
Aunt Yun rolled her eyes at Uncle Cai and spat: "Bah! Old Cai, can you speak? The young master is a popular person in the eyes of the emperor, and he has received a golden rice bowl from the empress dowager. If you can work under him on errands, you will be a good person in the future.
How promising is it? So, how can this be called luring the wolf into the house? It should be called turning from darkness to light! Do you understand, you bad old man?"
As she spoke, Aunt Yun walked over and picked up the pole from the wall. As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to boil water..."
Uncle Cai stood alone at the door for a moment, then followed him: "Hey, Cuiyun, wait for me, I haven't finished speaking yet..."
On the other side, Xiaokui and Ge Hong came to the main hall and sat down.
Among the five Ge Hongs, Xiaokui was the only one who dared not look directly at Fatty Lai, because he was tall and fat, with a sinister face and a fierce look. Xiaokui was a little girl, so she would inevitably be frightened, so she stood far away from Fatty Lai.
Far away.
But Fatty Lai kept staring at Xiaokui and making silly jokes at her from time to time, which made Xiaokui extremely nervous.
"You...you guys sit down first, me and I...I'll make you some tea and some food..."
Xiaokui said as she ran out of the main hall, choosing to avoid these five big men for the time being.
As soon as Xiaokui left, Cheng Jiu glared and said, "Fat man, you must be sick! Smiling like that scares the little girl!"
Ge Hong had been observing everything in the main hall just now and did not notice Fatty Lai's situation, but he also knew that what Cheng Jiu said was definitely true, so he said: "Lao San, Miss Xiaokui is the maid next to the Lord. You must not
Wrong thoughts, do you understand?"
Fatty Lai became anxious when he heard this: "No, big brother! I, I... I saw her smiling just now because I thought she looked like my youngest sister. There was no other meaning...
..”
"Like your sister?" Ge Hong was a little surprised and couldn't help but ask: "Is it true or false?"
Fatty Lai nodded quickly and said in a sincere tone: "Really, brother, I used to have three sisters. If the youngest one had not died, she would be as big as her now. Her eyes, nose, and chin are all very similar...
....."
Fatty Lai looked at everyone's expressions as he spoke. Seeing that everyone seemed a little doubtful, he swore and swore: "Really, if I lie to you, let me... let me not eat meat for a month!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter in the hall.
After the laughter, Ge Hong said seriously: "Okay, third brother, we don't believe you, but you also have to remember that you can't stare at others and laugh like you did just now. Do you understand?"
"I understand, brother." Fatty Lai nodded.
Cheng Jiu immediately said seriously: "Fat man, it's not impossible for you to see it if you want to, but you have to be careful to see it secretly so that the little girl doesn't find it, do you understand?"
"Ah?" Fatty Lai was stunned.
"What are you talking about? Fourth child!" Upon hearing this, Ge Hong frowned and stopped.
Cheng Jiu immediately became happy and waved his hand: "No, no, no, I'm joking, just joking..."
After a while, Chai Yan, who had gone to the room and was dressed neatly, came to the main hall.
As soon as Ge Hong and the other five people saw Chai Yan arriving, they quickly stood up, saluted respectfully, and said in unison: "I've seen you, sir..."
