Chapter 77： coax

Like flies, it turned into a pot of porridge.

The reason is because the person whom the housekeeper Zhou entrusted to ask not only did not help him find out about Zhou Qing, but even returned the money he sent over, which has never been done before. what happened.

Butler Zhou was a little unbelievable when he heard the news, and went to the door in person with the returned money, looking at his old friend's expression full of shock, "Mr. Zhao has What's the difficulty?"

This person is a small secretary in the yamen. Although he does not have much real power, he has access to various documents in the yamen, so he also knows all kinds of news Quite a lot, he also made a lot of money by this.

But this is such a person, when faced with the huge remuneration from Butler Zhou, he hesitated and took his hand back, and finally looked at him and said with a tangled face: "Master Zhou, It's not that I won't help you, it's just that the situation is special this time, and I really can't help you, so please come back!"

Butler Zhou looked at him, thinking that he knew how important Zhou Qing was to him, disliked the lack of money, wanted to extort more money, and then took a purse from his cuff, Together with the one just now, it was sent to the little secretary and looked at him and said sincerely:

"Mr. Zhao, I know this is embarrassing you, but this time it was my nephew who was invited in. I can ignore the others. But it is absolutely impossible for me to ignore my nephew. Please be more accommodating and help me in this favor based on our relationship in the past."

The man called Mr. Zhao looked at the two purses held by the housekeeper Zhou, and his face was full of urges to take them, but he didn't know what he was afraid of, so he stretched out his hand After a while, he immediately shrank back, then looked at Butler Zhou, and said strangely:

"No, Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, I really can't help you with this matter. You will know the situation tomorrow, and you don't have to rush it now. Brother Zhou, I still have something to do, so I won't chat with you any more."

Before Steward Zhou could ask any more questions, Mr. Zhao slammed the door shut and slammed shut in front of Butler Zhou.

Butler Zhou touched his nose, looked at the door closed in front of him, his face changed, and finally spat and scolded softly, "What's the matter, give you face , you really treat yourself as a character!" Butler Zhou muttered in a low voice, and quickly left Mr. Zhao's door.

Since there is no news from him, and he has no other acquaintances, the housekeeper Zhou temporarily suppressed his inquiries and prepared to wait until the next day to go to the yamen to see the end according to Mr. Zhao's words what happened.

It's just that when the housekeeper Zhou thinks that he will run into that difficult Aunt Zhou again when he goes back, and thinks of Aunt Zhou's pungent energy on weekdays, he feels a headache, his sister-in-law is simply his nemesis !

After the housekeeper Zhou sighed, he turned his footsteps towards the Zhou family's house and turned to the brothel not far away. He planned to take shelter outside and wait for tomorrow to check Know exactly what happened, and then go back and discuss solutions with others.

After Chen Xing and Gu Lang discussed various follow-up matters, they returned to Gu's house holding hands.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Xing raised his hand, took a deep breath of the fresh air in the yard, and said loudly: "I, Chen Xing, are back!!"

Because of Chen Xing's pull, Gu Lang, who was holding hands with him, was also forced to raise his hand, but there was no angry look on his face, he looked at Chen Xing with a smile, It seems that what Chen Xing does is very cute in his eyes.

After Chen Xing finished shouting, he put his hand down immediately, then looked at Gu Lang excitedly, and said loudly: "Let's go take a pomelo bath! I remember there are some pomelo at home Ye, I'll join in now."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing's flushed cheeks with excitement, and suddenly became a little teasing, looked at him and said warmly: "Xingxing wants to take a bath with me? But according to the two of us It's okay to take a shower together."

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, his face suddenly froze with excitement, then he looked at Gu Lang who was smiling at him under the moonlight, and then his eyes kept on his face. Sweeping down, the originally pink face gradually turned into a bright red.

Chen Xing seemed to have thought of something, as if he had been burned, and immediately released the hand they were holding, and took two steps back, showing a pair of faces towards Gu Lang I was embarrassed, but came with a look of anticipation, "I, we have just established a relationship, so it seems a little bad to have progressed to this stage so quickly?"

Chen Xing said that, but the expectations in his eyes could not deceive people. Although he felt that they had just reached the point of kissing, they were about to meet each other soon, which was really exciting.

Although Chen Xing didn't feel very good, he looked forward to Gu Lang's expression, and even began to wonder if Gu Lang's body was as good-looking as his face. If it is so good-looking, he is a little worried that he can't control himself.

Gu Lang originally just wanted to tease Chen Xing, thinking that he would look at him with a blushing face like before, but he did not expect this reaction. Chen Xing looked at his gradually burning eyes, and saw that he was also secretly looking forward to this matter.

It seems that because he found out what was in Chen Xing's mind, Gu Lang burst out laughing, the originally handsome face was full of happy emotions at this time, and it looked particularly pleasing to the eye.

Chen Xing heard Gu Lang's smile and looked at the joke in his eyes, Chen Xing suddenly realized that he was being played, thinking that when he was distracted just now, he was fantasizing about pressing Gu Lang In the bath like this, this and that, I didn't think that Gu Lang was just playing with himself!

Chen Xing immediately became angry, watching Gu Lang snorted heavily, turned and ran away.

Gu Lang looked at the back of Chen Xing running away, the playfulness in his eyes gradually disappeared, and only a tenderness remained. He raised his eyes to look at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and muttered in a low voice : "Wait for me again, and when I make sure that I can accompany you for a lifetime, I will be with you for real."

Chen Xing ran away angrily, ran directly into the kitchen, looked at the grapefruit leaves on the shelf, picked it up and walked away. When he got to the bathroom, he looked at the steaming tub and wanted to throw all the grapefruit leaves in his hands in anger.

But before he was about to throw the pomelo leaves down, Chen Xing slowly put down the pomelo leaves in his hand, looked at the large handful of leaves in his arms, and took out a piece, He murmured, "It's better to leave some for him."

Chen Xing then threw the grapefruit leaf down again. After seeing the lonely piece out of the corner of his eye, he put down the leaf in his hand again, and took it out in his hand reluctantly. After taking one slice, he muttered: "One slice is a little too little. Forget it, give him another slice. Are two slices not enough, will it make me look too stingy?"

Gu Lang looked at the small pile of leaves, and suddenly appeared in front of him the scene of Chen Xing muttering while selecting leaves, he was suddenly adored by Chen Xing.

The next morning, due to the excitement of the whole day yesterday, Chen Xing, who used to get up on time in the past, got up lazy today.

Gu Lang woke up early in the morning and came to Chen Xing's room to take a look. Seeing that he was still sleeping, his face was red and sleeping, he gently touched his face , watching him turn a sound impatiently, smiled silently, then gently pressed the quilt for him, and quietly left his room.

Until the door of Chen Xing's room was gently closed, the person on the bed seemed to have a sweet dream, he smacked his mouth lightly, then turned over again, and continued to sink in. dreamland.

Gu Lang went straight to the study, looked at Qiu Jiu who had been waiting there for a long time, his face no longer had the tenderness he had when facing Chen Xingzhi, looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You Go to the street and check to see if the notice that the county magistrate said yesterday was posted."

"Yes." Qiu Jiu heard the command and was about to go out, when he heard his master continue to say something.

"By the way, when you come back, go to Fuji to buy some meat buns, and then buy a few porridges there." After speaking, he seemed a little uneasy and continued: "Remember not to buy the wrong one. Now, Chen Xing prefers the steamed buns from that house, he doesn't like to eat from other houses."

Hearing this, Qiu Jiu suddenly felt full without eating, and answered in a low voice, "Yes, I know."

Seeing that Qiu Jiu listened to his explanation, Gu Lang just nodded and let him go out.

Qiu Jiu, who shouldered the heavy responsibility, left the Gu residence and headed for the market. He remembered the buns that his master gave him, and almost forgot that he had another mission until he passed by. He suddenly remembered another purpose for coming out when he heard the screams bursting out of the sign at the market.

Qiu Jiu looked at the signboard surrounded by water and the crowd gathered in front of the signboard, and then looked at the Fuji Baozi Shop not far away, he still decided to go there and see what happened there What, go buy buns, anyway, the buns are there, and they won't run away.

Qiu Jiu made up his mind, and went straight to the crowded place, and with his flexible skills, he successfully squeezed to the front.

In front of Qiu Jiu was a heart-wrenching woman pulling the official messenger's clothes and crying, the woman was pulling the official messenger's clothes, crying with snot and tears: "Master Officer, What did my Qing'er do wrong, why should I be punished so severely. If I go there, I'm afraid I'll lose half my life."

The woman's cry was particularly shrill, and it could be heard very clearly in the market where people came and went.

His body was torn off, looking at her and said impatiently:

"The notice just now has been written very clearly. Your son and other prisoners framed the food of the Chen family restaurant and killed people. This matter has been identified by the county magistrate, the Chen family There's nothing wrong with the ingredients in the small restaurant. Whether it's eating poisoned dishes or eating dead people, it's your good son's job."

When the woman heard this, her eyes widened immediately, and she rushed towards the officer with excitement, shouting: "No, no, my son will not It was you who wronged him for doing this kind of thing, and he would never do it!"

You don't want to mess around, since your son has done something wrong, he will have to bear the consequences. The county magistrate only fined him to go to the labor field for three years, and it can be regarded as an extra-judicial favor."

The woman was kicked to the ground, clutching her kicked stomach, and screamed loudly, "Hey, my stomach, my poor son. I'm just a plain-headed commoner, and I deserve to be bullied by the officials."

. Immediately, he felt that what he had done was right, and he even straightened his back a bit, looking at the woman on the ground and threatening: "Don't continue to entangle, if you continue to be so unrepentant, beware of the You go to jail together!"

The woman stopped crying when she heard the voice of the official, but the cry became louder.

Framed for others to be discovered, what is there to cry now? There was a woman who didn't like it, and even spat fiercely at the woman on the ground, scolding loudly, "Bah, shameless thing, if you can raise such a **** son, you will be a good guy."

The woman heard this as if she was suddenly stimulated, and suddenly got up from the ground and fought towards the woman who slandered her son.

After watching the woman slap the woman under him with three or two strokes, he looked up at the simple and clear punishment notice posted on the sign above, and turned to go to Fu Ji to buy steamed buns. Although the excitement was beautiful, he couldn't forget the task given by his son.

But just as he was about to go in, he noticed that the atmosphere between them was a little strange, and the foot that stepped in shrank back.

Just when Qiu Jiu was hesitating whether to go in or not, Gu Lang, who was not far away, seemed to notice his presence, raised his eyes and looked in his direction, watching him carry As if breakfast didn't come in, he frowned in dissatisfaction, and said to him in an unpleasant tone: "You've been wasting so much time, and now you're back and don't come in, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Qiu Jiu was taught a lesson by his son, and immediately came in with breakfast, he did not ask what happened between Gu Lang and Qiu Jiu, that was not something he could do He just needs to do his own thing well.

Qiu Jiu put out the breakfast he bought, and then seemed to think of something, and told his son about the things that happened today when he went out.

After listening, Gu Lang nodded lightly, indicating that he already knew about it. When Chen Xing heard that Zhou Qing's mother was fighting with another woman in the street, she had a somewhat tangled look in her eyes, but she immediately looked over, her eyes were rushing with the light of gossip, and her eyes flickered. Looks extra bright.

The key point of Qiu Jiu's report was the notice posted by the government. The fight between the two women was just an interesting story to amuse them. I just didn't expect Chen Xing to be so interested, so he said more tentatively, using exaggerated language and rich body movements to reflect the things that were brought up in the original two sentences.

All revealed the surprise that there are still such pungent women in the world.

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing, who had ignored him all morning because he remembered yesterday's revenge, and clenched his hands fiercely. The chopsticks inside finally turned to him when he couldn't help it at the end: "The buns I bought are about to get cold. Let's have breakfast first, and talk about the rest later."

Gu Lang's words were sparse and ordinary, Qiu Jiu could hear a bit of gnashing of teeth from it, he immediately closed his mouth and sat down to eat obediently.

Chen Xing first glanced at Gu Lang, then looked at the steaming steamed buns in front of him. A bit of doubt gradually appeared in his eyes, as if he felt that this was steaming The big meat bun doesn't look like it's going to be cold soon. Just when Chen Xing was thinking about whether to ask, there was suddenly a bowl of porridge and two meat buns in front of him.

Chen Xing followed the hand that was handed over, only to see Gu Lang looking at him with a smile, and after the two looked at each other, Gu Lang said to him warmly: "You wait a moment. Don't you want to prepare new desserts? Eat something to pamper your stomach first, and then you will have the strength to work later!"

Chen Xing first glanced at Gu Lang's gentle smile, and then looked at the steaming buns and porridge in front of him. He decided to forgive Gu Lang for teasing him yesterday for the sake of steamed buns and porridge.

"Humph."

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing and snorted softly, then lowered his head to drink porridge, knowing that he was not angry with himself, and the smile on his face became more gentle.

Qiu Jiu glanced at Chen Xing, who was burying his head in eating, and then looked at his son who was looking at him tenderly, trembling all over, then lowered his head, and obediently ate breakfast Come. He reminded himself in his heart that he should be used to this kind of situation, he has seen it so many times, why does he still make a fuss every time!

Butler Zhou's yard.

The housekeeper Zhou sat on the main seat, looking at the bruised nose and swollen face below, and the missing piece of the head, Aunt Zhou, who was crying and howling about how difficult her son was, wrinkled fiercely brow.

In the end, the wife of the housekeeper Zhou, who was sitting next to the housekeeper Zhou, spoke up and persuaded her uneasy younger brother and sister: "Brother and sister, don't worry about it, Zhou Qing is the one who is watching. Growing up, how can your uncle and I not be worried. Just wait, your uncle will definitely find a way to see if we can get him out."

When Aunt Zhou heard her words, not only did she not stop crying, but she cried more and more mournfully. Knowing that this child is a piece of my mother's body! Now that he doesn't know what's going on in the cell, how can I feel at ease. The thought of him suffering in prison makes my heart feel like a needle has been pricked It's uncomfortable! Besides, they are going to send him to that kind of labor camp soon, but I heard that after a year there, his body will be disabled, but my son will stay there for three years!"

Sister Zhou was choked by Aunt Zhou's choking tone. If she hadn't known that Aunt Zhou had always had such a temper that a dog can't spit out ivory, she would have mistakenly thought it was Aunt Zhou To choke her. However, although she understood, she was still angry when she heard these words. She simply shut up and stopped talking. She gestured to the housekeeper Zhou next to her with her eyes and asked him to come to the solution. Anyway, that Zhou Qing was the only seedling of their Zhou family. , is not the only seedling of their Wu family.

The housekeeper Zhou received his wife's eyes, first sighed helplessly, then raised his eyes to look at Aunt Zhou who was not far away, his voice was tired, "Brother and sister, Zhou Qing is my Zhou The only seedling in the family, I won't leave him alone, you can rest assured."

Aunt Zhou, who was still crying, heard the housekeeper's words, suddenly raised her head, looked straight at the housekeeper, and then cried more and more, and shouted loudly: "Yes , Zhou Qing is the only seedling of the Zhou family, you can't ignore him! You will die in the future, but you need him to carry the coffin for you!"

Just watching her helplessly sighed, "I know, I will think of a way."

Just as Mrs. Zhou was crying and wanted to say something, Mrs. Zhou looked at her with disdain. Butler Zhou rubbed her swollen forehead and thought about how to deal with it. There was no small knock on the door, and at the same time there was a voice, "Steward Zhou, are you at home?"

Butler Zhou frowned, and finally got up and went to the door to open the door. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a servant from the Chen family standing there.

Seeing that it was him, Butler Zhou's heart jumped, and then he heard the servant in front of him say: "Steward Zhou, you are not here today, the master is waiting for you now, it seems that there is a I want to ask you something."
