Chapter 456: The habit of having a hot face against a cold butt
For a long time, most of the men Yuzhu met were courteous to her, or they were gentle and courteous gentlemen. For a long time, they had been treated like stars and the moon. Suddenly, here comes such a man who doesn't care about her.
Taking the young lord seriously, Yuzhu would inevitably not be able to accept it.
Yuzhu said with resentment: "What is there that we can't afford to offend? What's the crime? This is a beauty parlor, a place for brothels and fireworks. We are just greeting the customers who come and go. What's wrong with that?"
"Yuzhu, what you said is true, but mother is worried..." Murong Puliu was still worried.
Yuzhu took the lead and said, "Don't worry, owner, Yuzhu knows what's appropriate!"
Murong Puliu looked at Yuzhu quietly for a moment, nodded slowly and said: "It's best to know..."
The next morning, Chai Yan was woken up by the cold while sleeping in bed. Not long after he woke up, someone knocked on the door softly outside.
"Mr. Chai, are you awake?" The voice sounded like that of a little girl.
Chai Yan huddled in the bed and replied: "I'll bring you breakfast later, I haven't gotten up yet..."
The voice outside the door said: "Mr. Chai, this servant is not here to deliver breakfast, but to add some charcoal to your room."
Chai Yan thought to himself that the service at this Yiren restaurant was really good. As soon as he felt cold, someone immediately brought him charcoal.
"Wait..."
Chai Yan responded, got up from the bed, put on his coat, and trotted to open the door.
The person who came was the little girl who sent the note yesterday. She was carrying a small stove in her left hand. In the stove were some red-hot charcoal sticks. She was carrying a small basket in her right hand. In the basket was unused new charcoal. There were also some charcoal on the small basket.
A pair of pokers hangs.
When the little girl saw that Chai Yan was only wearing a coat, she hurriedly said: "Master Chai, don't freeze. Go back to bed and warm yourself up. I will give you some charcoal now."
Chai Yan was indeed very cold, so he turned around and ran back to the bed, took off his coat, jumped into the bed, and curled up into a ball again.
After entering the house, the little girl closed the door first, then carried her things to the charcoal basin in the center of the room.
"Master Chai, I asked you why your room is so cold. It turns out that the charcoal fire has gone out long ago..."
The little girl lowered her head and said while checking the situation in the charcoal basin.
Chai Yan huddled under the quilt, with only one head exposed and said: "Then you came at the right time! Thank you, little sister."
The little girl blushed and said, "Mr. Chai, just call me my servant Xiaokui..."
Chai Yan suddenly remembered a person with the same name and asked casually: "Your name is Xiaokui, then your brother must be called Xiaoxin, right?"
Xiaokui was adding charcoal to the charcoal basin. When she heard the sound, she stopped for a moment and asked in surprise: "Master Chai, how do you know that I have an elder brother at home?"
"Uh...I just guessed, haha..." Chai Yan replied with a smile.
Xiaokui continued to add charcoal while saying: "Master Chai, my brother's name is not Xiaoxin, his name is Xiaoyong... I have two younger brothers, one is Xiaoan and the other is Xiaowu...
..."
Chai Yan asked: "Are you the only daughter of your parents?"
Xiaokui nodded and responded softly: "Yes."
"Then why are they willing to let you work in a place like this?" Chai Yan asked curiously.
Xiaokui put the new charcoal one by one on the red-hot charcoal bars and said to Chai Yan: "Master Chai, you don't know that my family is poor and my parents are in poor health. We can't feed the four of us just by farming."
So my parents sold their slaves to work here, so that the family would have less people to talk to, and it would not be so difficult..."
Chai Yan didn't want to hear such a thing, and immediately became a little annoyed, and said: "Xiao Kui, your parents... I just want to know if you are their biological daughter? It would be wrong to sell you somewhere.
Are you going to sell it to a brothel?"
Xiaokui didn't dare to raise her head and said in a low voice: "Master Chai, this slave is clumsy and no one in the big family wants it, and the family is in a hurry for money. My parents agreed when they saw that the price offered by the owner was high..."
Chai Yan secretly sighed, feeling a little pitiful for Xiao Kui, who was sold to a brothel at such a young age. Although he was doing odd jobs now, when he grew up, he would definitely have to receive customers.
Chai Yan comforted: "Who said you are clumsy? I think you are quite capable. You are diligent at a young age and can work quickly."
"Thank you for the compliment, sir." Xiaokui thanked her immediately, but at the same time she did not forget to tidy up the charcoal basin.
Chai Yan looked at Xiaokui thoughtfully and stopped talking.
At this time, Shangguan Peining appeared and said: "Chai Yan, if you pity this girl, why not just buy her home? You are also a baron now, and you don't even have a maid by your side. How inconvenient.
"
Before Chai Yan could answer, Shangguan Peining said again: "I think back when I was in Aoyue Kingdom, I felt that it was not enough to have seven or eight maids around me..."
Chai Yan thought about it secretly and smiled in his heart: "Shangguan Peining, your opinion is quite good. Uncle Cai and Aunt Yun should also have a helper. Xiaokui seems to be quite honest. When I have time, I will ask him
Let’s talk about this with the owner.”
Shangguan Peining didn't reply, but Chai Yan knew she heard her.
At this time, Xiaokui had already prepared the charcoal basin, but she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she moved the charcoal basin to Chai Yan's bed little by little, and then said: "Mr. Chai, will this happen?"
Will it be warmer?"
Chai Yan smiled and nodded, thanking: "It's much warmer, thank you, Xiaokui."
This detail made Chai Yan's favorable impression of Xiaokui grow even more.
Xiaokui waved her hands repeatedly and said: "Master Chai, you don't need to thank me. You have to thank Miss Yuzhu. It was she who asked the slave to come over and add charcoal to the master's room. These fine white charcoals came from Miss Yuzhu's room..."
....”
When Chai Yan heard that it was Yuzhu's idea, his smile began to disappear. He wondered what Yuzhu was going to do. Did she have a habit of having a hot face against a cold butt?
Chai Yan said calmly: "Xiao Kui, thank Miss Yuzhu for me...Oh, by the way, come here..."
Xiaokui was slightly startled, but did not dare to approach the bed. Although she was still young, she had stayed in a brothel for a long time and understood the dangers of men.
"Don't be afraid, I want to give you some money..." Chai Yan saw Xiaokui's concerns and said as he reached out from under the pillow and took out the money bag.
Xiaokui waved her hands hurriedly, shook her head and said: "You can't do it, you can't do it, Mr. Chai, if the owner and Miss Yuzhu find out, this slave will be beaten."
Chai Yan suddenly became happy and explained: "Xiao Kui, you misunderstood. This money is not for you, but for Miss Yuzhu..."
With that said, Chai Yan took out two pieces of silver from his purse, handed them out and asked, "Xiao Kui, do you think these are enough for charcoal money?"
Xiaokui breathed a sigh of relief, walked over to take the broken silver, looked at it, and said: "Mr. Chai, that's a lot more. These are just a few pieces of charcoal, one is enough..."
Then, Xiaokui would return a piece of silver to Chai Yan.
Chai Yan pushed her little hand and said with a smile: "This is a big reward for you. Thanks to your busy work, if it weren't for such a cold day, I would have frozen into ice cubes, hahaha...
."
Xiaokui was also amused, but she laughed because she refused to accept the money.
Xiaokui was worried that Chai Yan would force her hands, so she quickly placed the broken silver on the edge of the bed, then turned around and quickly picked up the stove and basket and fled the room.
After the door was closed, Chai Yan put away the broken silver with a smile and said sincerely: "This child is good, but this place is not where she should be..."
After leaving, Xiaokui put down the stove and basket and went to the backyard. She came to Yuzhu's room and knocked on the door lightly.
The door opened quickly, and just as Xiaokui was about to speak, a woman's hand pulled her into the room.
"How's it going? Is everything done?"
The person who asked this question was Yuzhu who pulled Xiaokui into the house.
Xiaokui nodded quickly, indicating that everything was done according to Miss Yuzhu's instructions.
Yuzhu asked about Chaiyan's expression again, and Xiaokui answered truthfully.
Then, Yuzhu waved his hand and said, "Go and do your business. I'll call you if anything happens..."
Xiaokui quickly took out the broken piece of silver, held it in front of Yuzhu's eyes, and said: "Miss Yuzhu, this is what Mr. Chai asked his slave to give you, saying it was charcoal money..."
"Charcoal money?" Yuzhu immediately became angry and slapped the broken silver coins out of Xiaokui's hand, angrily scolding: "Idiot, who asked you to accept Mr. Chai's money? Who allowed you to accept it?"
Yuzhu was so angry that he hit Xiaokui a few times after scolding her. Xiaokui was so frightened that she quickly knelt down to admit her mistake, her short body trembling uncontrollably.
