Zhuang Liuyun was disappointed by Chi Ming's words.
Indeed, she grew up in a deep boudoir and did not understand anything. Even if she had more experience than others, she would only be a nanny for people doing laundry and cooking. It's enough for her to support herself alone, not to mention her little brother who has been spoiled since childhood?
"me--"
I can also go to someone else's house to be a maid - this is Zhuang Liuyun's real idea, but she dare not say it. Brother Chi will definitely laugh at her after hearing this, and then send her back to her hometown in the name of being good for her.
So, what's the point of her escaping with her brother after all the hardships?
Just when Zhuang Liuyun didn't know what to do, a fat orange cat ran into the side hall and ran straight towards Zhuang Li. It seemed to be very interested in Zhuang Li's long cloak and kept scratching with its claws.
Zhuang Li raised his toes and lightly touched the fat cat's little nose.
Chi Ming's face darkened.
He bent over, lifted the cape, held Zhuang Li's ankle and asked, "How do you put cotton shoes on Xiaobao? Don't you know that the winter in the south is very wet and cold, and the cotton shoes are easy to soak in water when you walk outside?"
He said extremely dissatisfiedly: "Xiaobao's shoe tips are soaked. He doesn't know the heat and cold, and he won't tell others when he's frozen. Don't you know?" Said: "Bring a pot of hot water over, and then burn a pot of charcoal fire."
There is water in the house, but it's not hot enough for people with frozen toes.
Two servants walked in with hot water and charcoal fire, one of them stretched out his hand, ready to take off his shoes and wash his feet for Zhuang Li, but Chi Ming waved his hand and sent the other back.
He knelt down on one knee, took off Zhuang Li's half-old cotton-padded shoes with his own hands, undid the soaked white socks, and put these cold feet into the warm water basin.
The toes of the young man, like his people, are also white and tender, with round fingernails and soft and tender soles of his feet, holding them in the palm of his hand like two flour dumplings.
Chi Ming pinched the boy's toes, and the tip of his heart also trembled.
He was restraining his inexplicably rising desire. This desire was called protection and changed its name to possession. Because of this, on a cold day, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose.
He immersed these cute little feet in the water, rubbed them carefully from the toes to the heels, and added a little hot water, also known as the servant, and then seriously instructed: "Xiaobao, take a good bath and don't move. Your The skin is all ice."
Zhuang Li looked down at the top of Chi Ming's hair and sighed, "Little mental retardation, have you seen it, this is life."
7480: "..." It's sore, and it wants someone to rub its feet.
Zhuang Liuyun was stunned. Even if she had two more heads, she couldn't imagine what Chi Ming would look like washing people's feet.
Seeing that Zhuang Li's toes were sticking up and down in the hot water, Chi Ming let out a low laugh.
He took the clean wet handkerchief from the servant and wiped his hands, then sat down next to Zhuang Li, pressing Zhuang Li's knee with his palm to prevent him from accidentally knocking over the water basin, and then looked at Zhuang Liuyun , scolded coldly: "You also said that you are not at ease to leave Xiaobao to others to take care of, I think you are not very careful in taking care of him. You know that it is rainy and rainy in the south, and you should not wear cotton for him when you go out. shoe."
He pointed to one of the attendants and said, "Go to Ruifuxiang to buy a pair of leather shoes. The size is 23 cm."
Zhuang Li's feet were just twenty-three centimeters long, and Chi Ming knew it with the palm of his hand.
Zhuang Liuyun hid his equally soaked embroidered shoes under the skirt, and said sadly: "Brother Chi, I also want to wear leather shoes for Xiaobao, but all his leather shoes were sold by my brother. The clothes on Xiaobao are still mine. It was redeemed from the pawnshop for money."
Chi Ming lightly rubbed the little curly hair of the young man with a gentle expression. When the young man bent over to touch the fat cat on the ground, he said with a gloomy expression, "My son is a Zhongshan wolf, and he is mad when he is successful. Your father is also wrong. when."
Zhuang Liuyun bit his lower lip and didn't dare to cry if he wanted to cry. Big Brother Chi Ming didn't know that the man was not only a wolf, but also a ghost! In his last life, he beat Xiaobao alive!
"Everything in the Zhuang family belongs to Xiaobao, what does it have to do with him as an outsider?" Chi Ming said in a deep voice, "I will send someone to bring the Zhuang family's property back to Shanghai. Half of it is your dowry, you can take it yourself. You still have to get married, don't delay your youth for Xiaobao."
Zhuang Liuyun thanked him with tears in his eyes, his face full of surprises.
She didn't realize that the point of Chi Ming's words was to urge herself to marry.
After a while, the water in the basin was already cold.
Chi Ming bent down and took Zhuang Li's little feet out, put them on his knees, and slowly wiped them dry with a handkerchief, not even missing the seam between his fingers.
All the servants standing in the hall looked dumbfounded. They have never seen such a gentle side of the handsome.
Zhuang Li fell back in the chair holding the fat cat, his feet resting on Chi Ming's legs, his long and narrow eyes were slightly squinted, and his slender fingertips stroked the cat's hair.
The fat cat purred comfortably in his arms, and licked his little paws with the tip of his tongue.
One person and one cat are all carved out of the same mold from their demeanor to their actions.
Chi Ming wanted to laugh when he saw it, but his usually cold face was now filled with indescribable tenderness.
Zhuang Liuyun, who was sitting on the side, said repeatedly: "Thank you, Brother Chi, I really appreciate you. With this inheritance, Xiaobao doesn't have to suffer with me. I will take good care of him in the future."
Chi Ming put a pair of thick cotton socks on Zhuang Li's white and tender feet and asked, "How many years can you take care of him?"
"I can take care of him for the rest of my life. If I don't get married, I will guard Xiaobao." Zhuang Liuyun swore on the spot. Having experienced the betrayal and hurt in her previous life, she has long been afraid of love.
This answer was definitely not what Chi Meditation wanted, so his face darkened.
At this moment, a servant walked in with an exquisite shoe box and said respectfully, "Master, the young master's shoes have been bought."
When the brothers and sisters first entered the door, these people also called Zhuang Li called Zhuang Ershao, with a gentle and polite attitude, but they were alienated. Now, without Chi Ming's orders, they have all changed their names to Young Master Zhuang Li, which shows how good the servants of Chi's house are.
After Chi Ming took the shoe box, he opened it and looked at it, making sure that the shoes were well made before putting them on Zhuang Li's feet.
"New leather shoes are usually kicked. I'll try the size for Xiaobao first to see if they fit. If they don't fit, you can replace them. If they fit, take the shoes off and wrap a cotton cloth soaked in white vinegar around the mouth of the shoe. The leather, let it dry overnight in a conservatory with water on, and tomorrow the leather will become soft and then use it for Xiaobao to wear." Chi Ming instructed carefully.
Several servants nodded carefully while listening.
Chi Ming turned to look at Zhuang Liuyun, his tone intensified: "I often exchange letters with Uncle Zhuang, and I know Xiaobao's situation. He is accustomed to being silent, thirsty, hungry, cold, hot, and painful. Don't speak. However, if he doesn't speak, you can't think of it, you have to take everything into consideration for him.
"And you have to know that you are a woman after all. Little Treasure has grown up gradually, so it is inconvenient for you to take care of many things. No matter how strong the blood relationship is, men and women are different after all."
Zhuang Liuyun lowered his head, almost crying in shame. She thought she had taken good care of Xiaobao, and only when she saw Big Brother Chi Ming did she understand what real meticulousness was. She didn't put herself in Xiaobao's shoes at all.
It's no wonder that Brother Chi can become the Grand Marshal. He is really good at dealing with people.
Zhuang Liuyun looked at Chi Ming with admiration and gratitude, and repeatedly promised that he would take care of his younger brother more carefully in the future.
Seeing that she was stubborn, Chi Ming couldn't explain his mind, so he could only wave his hand, "Okay, you are tired all the way, I will order someone to cook."
A servant immediately went to the kitchen to serve meals, and another servant walked in with a pair of brand-new cotton slippers, and instead of putting them on the young master on his own, he handed them to the commander.
Chi Ming took the slippers and put them on Zhuang Li himself, but he still put Zhuang Li's feet on his knees.
Zhuang Li hugged the fat cat in the chair, squinting to listen to the conversation between his lover and his sister.
These two people are also interesting, one expressly hinted, holding a gun with a stick; the other is ignorant and ignorant, and they can talk for so long.
The hot meals filled the table in no time. Only then did Zhuang Liuyun and Chi Ming end the chicken-and-duck talk, and together they stretched out their hands to hold Zhuang Li.
However, Zhuang Li hugged the fat cat in the chair and refused to move.
"Go eat, I'll feed Xiaobao." Chi Ming looked helpless, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"How embarrassing this is, I'll feed it myself." Zhuang Liuyun hurriedly bent down and opened the rattan box he brought.
There are several bibs in the box, all of which Xiaobao wears when he eats. He really has no ability to take care of himself at all, and usually relies on the nanny to take care of him.
When Zhuang Liuyun finally turned out his bib, Chi Ming had already put a white napkin on Zhuang Li's neck, filled a bowl of soft and glutinous white rice, soaked it in fresh chicken soup, mixed with egg custard and some meatballs. , feed Zhuang Li spoonful by spoonful.
He was not impatient at all, nor was he rough, and after feeding one spoonful, he would silently wait for Zhuang Li to chew and swallow it fully before feeding the second spoonful. He also had a wet towel on hand, and he picked it up from time to time to help Zhuang Li wipe the oil stains on the corner of his mouth.
Zhuang Liuyun has been a nanny for others in his past life, and he is considered very careful and professional. But she had to admit that Big Brother Chi really took care of his younger brother better than herself.
Zhuang Li sighed while rubbing the big fat cat in his arms: "This is the life I want."
7480: "...This is the life I want too."
"You sit and eat, don't worry about me." Chi Ming glanced at Zhuang Liuyun.
The stunned Zhuang Liuyun sat down cautiously and took up his rice bowl.
As the master, Chi Ming was the last person to eat dinner. The dishes on the table were already cold, so he casually ate two bites of chicken soup, his eyes never leaving the little boy curled up in the large chair and licking the cat with all his heart.
The money box he used to send Zhuang Liuyun was still on the table, but he had long forgotten it.
Zhuang Liuyun twitched his fingers uneasily, thinking about how to say goodbye, and borrowed some money from Brother Chi to rent a house. She also knew that not everyone could live in the Chi House.
In her last life, she had heard that the presidents of the North and South governments came to visit Chi's house, but Big Brother Chi Ming didn't let them stay overnight because he didn't like strangers stepping into his territory.
What to say about borrowing money? The more Zhuang Liuyun thought about it, the more nervous he became.
Just at this moment, a young man with a big, shiny back came running from outside the courtyard and shouted with a smile, "Big brother, big brother, my article has been published in the newspaper again."
After entering the side hall, he discovered that there were two strangers at home, a man and a woman, both young and very delicate and beautiful.
His eyes lit up, stared at Zhuang Liuyun and looked up and down, then looked at Zhuang Li, who was holding the fat cat.
Chi Ming said lightly, "This is your sister Zhuang."
Sister Zhuang? The young man immediately thought of his fiancee who had never been there, and said, "I can't marry you, please go back!"
Zhuang Liuyun's flushed cheeks instantly turned pale.
Zhuang Li stopped licking the cat, and immediately opened his slightly closed eyes, looked at the young man coldly, then walked to Zhuang Liuyun's side, gently tugged at the corner of her clothes, and swept his gaze to the courtyard outside.
Zhuang Liuyun knew that his younger brother was very sensitive to other people's malice, so he stood up immediately, bent over and said, "Brother Chi Ming, then I will take Xiaobao and leave first."
Borrowing money has been completely forgotten by her.
