Chapter 13: "Love"
Baby!
Ye Chi's mind suddenly "boomed", and he suddenly didn't understand these three words, and all kinds of information were quickly searched in his mind.
The so-called doll is to marry by fingertips, and the so-called finger belly is to marry by means that Kaoru Tai is going to get married, and she is only sixteen...... It seems that sixteen is almost ready to get married......
No, no, no! The country prohibits the bad custom of finger marriage, so it should not count. Which of the laws was this? He remembered it was the ...... of the laws.
For a while, one rule after another poured into his mind like a storm, and for the first time, he felt that his brain could be so chaotic, and he didn't speak for a long time.
At that moment, the table slammed, causing everyone to jump. Yutai Kaoru didn't take Yuan Ziling's hand away, but slowly raised his arm to a high place, and slapped it down with a fierce force, causing Yuan Ziling's face to turn blue and pant low.
"Haven't you forgotten about it?" her voice was still cold, obviously not very happy.
Yuan Ziling is a few years older than her, and before she was born, Tang Taishu had discussed with the master of the Yuan family that if this baby was a daughter, she would marry the Yuan family as a daughter-in-law. When her mother heard about this, she slapped her father to the roof that day, and no one dared to mention it again.
But what she didn't expect was that Yuan Ziling kept remembering.
The Yuan family is also one of the gangsters in Qinzhou, although it is a serious business, and it is a big family with a lot of money, but most of the business methods are bad, which has always made her mother not very fond of it, otherwise she would not be so repulsed.
The catchers were all looking at the gossip faces, and after being glanced at by the Tai Xun, one by one was more obedient than the other, and immediately buried their heads in eating. Ye Chi also moved his chopsticks twice, and felt that his shoulder was tapped twice, and when he looked up, it was Su Yu who said earnestly: "Don't be discouraged, at least the girl didn't hit you." â
Ye Chi unhurriedly removed the other party's hand and said coldly: "It seems that you understand it very well." â
Still, he was convinced by this statement. It is true that Kaoru Tantai had beaten Motokoling, but not him, and the last over-the-shoulder fall stopped halfway through, and although her save zĂ i was a threat, she never touched him.
A sense of superiority arises spontaneously.
Ye Chi's mood suddenly improved, and he ate happily, but Su Yu shook his head with a "tsk". It was getting late, the candle flame was extinguished, and because it was outside the house, his eyes felt a little uncomfortable, and Chang Su immediately turned around to look for the lantern.
After all, it was someone else's house, and he was afraid that Changsu would not be suitable to go alone, so he followed him to the corridor and asked the housekeeper for two lanterns, but when he came out, he found Kaoru Yutai standing outside the corridor waiting for him.
In the courtyard, the moon is like water, the night is soft, and her red dress looks particularly dazzling in the candlelight, as if she has been waiting for him for a long time, and her slender silhouette looms.
Seeing this, Chang Su immediately retreated, leaving only Ye Chi alone to walk towards her with a lantern, and said curiously, "Are you waiting for me?"
Kaoru Yutai nodded, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see it, and handed over the candle in his hand: "I heard Su Tongju just now that you have been entangled in the fact that I accidentally kissed you. It's been so long, and I'm a little surprised. â
Hearing her say things without blushing and her heart beating, Ye Chi turned his face a little uncomfortably, and heard her continue: "I like to open the skylight and say bright words, since we have to work together in the future, Lord Ye, you can't always think about these things." â
Always think...... No, he didn't always think, just occasionally, occasionally.
Ye Chi smiled gently and said clearly: "Because I have some problems with my memory, I can't forget anything, but I will try to forget it." â
Kaoru Yutai nodded in response, but seemed to be thinking about something, and after a moment of silence, he still said, "I don't have any special thoughts about adults." â
"......" ĺ˛.
"You don't know martial arts, and you can't beat me. â
"......" bang.
"I don't like reading people. â
"......" boom.
After confiding these words, Kaoru Yutai curled her lips and smiled as if relieved, looked up at Ye Chi, bowed her head politely, and turned to leave. She likes to solve problems in this way without dragging mud and water, Ye Chi should be able to accept it, and ordinary people should think so.
Ye Chi behind him raised his hand to cover his chest, and his mind rumbled, and he rubbed his eyebrows for a long time.
Changsu, who was hiding on the side and eavesdropping, finally couldn't help it, and went up to support him with a handful of snot and tears: their son-in-law has ten thousand arrows through his heart!
***
During the Dragon Boat Festival, a temple fair was held in the city, but Kaoru was very busy at that time, and he was not very interested in these things.
Ah Yao went with the housekeeper that day, and was very happy when he came back, but he still wanted to be with his sister, so he made a decision with her to go again for the holidays.
Do the math, it's probably Tanabata.
Since that night, Ye Chi seems to have started to get busy, and rarely has time to talk to her except for business.
Kaoru Tandai is very satisfied with this. Regarding the annual review, the government continues to ban some illegal businesses, but it is not so easy. Among the people of Qinzhou, only seventy percent of them have household registration, and one percent of these people are forgery.
She couldn't understand the reason that the strong dragon didn't suppress the head snake, and Ye Chi didn't seem to mean to move these people. She thought it was incredible at first, but then she figured it out.
Merchants hire black workers to be cheap and do not need to be guaranteed, if there are one or two, they will be caught, but on a large scale like Qinzhou, it is not so easy to end in one pot. You don't have to pay extra money, and you can also bring benefits to the local area, so the government has turned a blind eye before.
When she entered the court that day, she heard Ye Chi talking to the newcomer Changshi. This long history is famous for a lot of money, and he was born with thief eyebrows, and he was originally in charge of the accounts in the yamen, but Ye Chi somehow fell in love with him.
The notice requested by the adults has already been posted, but ...... Qian hesitated for a moment, "as long as you pay a certain amount of silver taels, you can get the household registration, which is unavoidable...... A little hasty, right?"
Ye Chi shrugged indifferently, smiled like a spring breeze and said, "Don't be afraid." The notice stated that it needs to be reviewed, and if it does not pass, the money will be returned. â
Kaoru Tandai frowned slightly, probably able to guess what his idea was.
Qinzhou is close to the border pass, and there are many black workers, but some of them are also in their duty, and even drag their families with them. There is no shortage of gangsters in Qinzhou, what is lacking is decent labor, which is not a bad thing.
After Qian Duo went out, Ye Chi saw her and smiled with her frankly. Kaoru Tai walked over, handed over the documents he had given the night before, and said, "I went home yesterday and asked my father to remove all the people sent to the school by the Tai family, and now it should be possible to start school normally." â
Ye Chi nodded, and at this moment, the two suddenly heard a commotion outside, and Tao Xun came in to say that a big family had come to ask for a meeting.
He helped his forehead. Since the news of the prime minister spread in Qinzhou, many people cried and shouted for him to write a piece of writing as a souvenir. This big family surnamed Tan is a hairy boy who has just inherited the family business, and he wants to give something meaningful to his father on his birthday, but it is not the first time he has come back to him to write, and he looks at him pitifully every time.
After Tao Xun roughly understood the situation, he patted his chest and said, "Adults don't have to worry, the small ones will drive people away." â
"Uh...... It's better to wait, the Tan family is a local businessman, and they will have to deal with it in the future. Ye Chi stopped him with a voice, motioned for him to bring people in, and after pondering for a while, he suddenly asked Kaoru Yutai, "How is your calligraphy?"
Originally, when they were alone, his movements were more or less stiff. It's just a few days later, and it's been calm to this point, which makes Kaoru Tantai a little incredible.
It seems that the words of the last time worked. She admires people who don't stalk to the dead.
"It's ok. â
Her handwriting Ye Chi has seen, it is generous, very good-looking, and presumably the calligraphy will not be bad. He pursed his lips and smiled, "The guy outside wants me to help write a word, but I've not been able to do it lately, can you ...... Can you help me?"
Kaoru Yutai was a little puzzled, and subconsciously looked at his hand, only to realize that there were some bruises on it, which was probably the reason why he was "inconvenient", but he didn't ask much, just nodded.
The head of the Tan family is a young man in his early twenties, with a look of coming to things, he had long expected that Ye Chi would not really refuse him, so he walked in with a smile on his face, but he heard Ye Chi say: "I heard that Ling Zun has a big birthday today, but unfortunately the official's hand is not very convenient, why don't you write one for you by Taizhou Cheng?"
The Tan family didn't expect him to make such a move, but thinking that Kaoru Tai's words were not bad, they secretly glanced at her, thinking that she would not agree, but who knew that she had already walked to the front of the case and took off her gloves, looking eager to try, and even her eyes were shining.
She likes novelty, Ye Chi can see this.
As soon as the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were brought here, the little boy who was originally standing behind the young master of the Tan family began to sharpen the ink with his teeth and claws. After grinding, he respectfully handed her the brush and motioned for her to start writing.
Kaoru Yutai suddenly calmed down.
At the moment, dozens of pairs of eyes are staring at her, although she is not uncomfortable when there are many people, but after all, it always feels strange to be looked at by so many people. She glanced at Ye Chi, and then waved her pen and wrote four big characters freely, nodding with satisfaction, privately thinking that it was vigorous and powerful, and the pen swept thousands of troops, which would definitely shock the audience and surprise the heavens.
Chang Su on the side saw that she had finished the painting, and excitedly took it and showed it in front of Master Tan, who knew that his face darkened a little on the spot.
Ye Chi frowned slightly, his handsome face showed a little confusion, and he stepped forward to take a look. Kaoru Tai's calligraphy is as he expected, the iron painting silver hook, strong and generous, no less than his handwriting, but what is written on it...... It is the four words "Wishing you prosperity".
ââŚâŚâ
He suddenly felt a little sorry for the family.
"That...... Although it can't be before the birthday banquet, when the official is ready, he will definitely make up for you. â
When the young master of the Tan family got this guarantee, he was so happy that he snorted and cried, and left with a grateful face. After the people left, Ye Chi walked over silently, put away the words of Kaoru Yutai very preciously, and returned to his seat casually.
Kaoru Tai on the side noticed this detail, and was a little displeased why these people didn't ask for her words, but at this moment, her attention was all attracted by Ye Chi's hand, staring carefully at the bruises on his hands, and suddenly asked, "You can sue me now, your hand...... What's going on?"
Ye Chi smiled at her, slowly packed up his things, took her painting and ran away.
***
For several days, Kaoru Tantai didn't see Ye Chi when he came home, and I don't know where he went, but he always looked tired during the day.
She doesn't like to ask too much, but Ah Yao often pulls the corner of her clothes, and her voice looks a little aggrieved: "Sister, Lord Ye hasn't come to play with me recently." â
She touched Ah Yao's head: "It's okay, I can play with you." â
Hearing this answer, Ah Yao smiled happily, but still said with a slight regret: "But Lord Ye is very funny." I heard Brother Chang Su say that he went to practice martial arts, and he came back very late recently. â
