Chapter 12: Self-disfigurement
Oh no, the second young master doesn't like him, it must be him who Ming'er was given to Song Xiaolou! Zhao Jiu was worried in his heart, he only hated that he had two wings missing, otherwise he would definitely flutter his wings and fly out of the Wu Mansion!
For the rest of the day, Zhao Jiu always frowned and made a sad face, and he remembered what the old man said to him: "After you pass, you must urge the second young master to study and practice hard every day, so as not to slack off, if the second young master does not listen to the persuasion, you will come and talk to me!" β
Zhao Jiu is going to tell Lord Wu about this, and there will definitely be no room for him in this mansion in the future, if he doesn't say it, it will be difficult for him to protect himself. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Jiu was so worried, he stabbed the stove bright and translucent. In the early summer, when he pushed the door in, he saw the fire in the house, so he was so frightened that he quickly snatched the burning stick in Zhao Jiu's hand and scolded: "Zhao Jiu, are you going to burn our garden?" β
"Sister Chu Xia, I-" Zhao Jiu raised his head, Chu Xia glared at him twice, and laughed: "Your eyebrows have burned you-"
"Huh?" Zhao Jiu hurriedly reached out to touch it, his brows were really curled, he was scorched, and there was a little bit of scrap on his fingers. Zhao Jiu's heart was not good, so he hurriedly went to the water tank and took a look, and sure enough, the two peak eyebrows had gone to six or seven percent, turning a handsome young man into an ugly monster.
"Giggles-" Chu Xia laughed breathlessly, Zhao Jiu drooped his head and returned to the back of the stove, crying or laughing, Chu Xia saw him so uncomfortable and couldn't laugh anymore, and then turned to comfort him: "It's okay, this eyebrow is the easiest to grow, you believe me, it will grow again in three or five days, don't worry!" β
The second young master said that he was going to send someone to Song Xiaolou, and now that Zhao Jiu was disfigured, he-Zhao Jiu thought of this, as if he had been savior, and his heart brightened. After leaving in early summer, he immediately went to the side of the water tank and looked at it, felt that his brows were not ugly enough, and ran back to the stove to smoke. This is good, even the forehead is about to burn.
At dinner, the second young master saw Zhao Jiu's miserable appearance, and his brows furrowed tightly, but the second young lady couldn't help laughing twice, and asked, "Zhao Jiu, what did you do, how did you get this look?" β
"He-" Chu Xia Le, who was serving the second young lady's meal, said: "The fire burns his own eyebrows!" β
The second young master had a straight face, and the second young lady wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, so she had to reluctantly pick up her job. Zhao Jiu knew that he was annoying now, and his head was about to drop to his waist.
Sure enough, the second young master didn't use a few mouthfuls of food to say that he had a bad appetite and went back to the room, and when he was young, he went out with Xiao Man, and he didn't come back until the middle of the night, full of alcohol, and only ordered Zhao Jiu to wait for the bath and change clothes. Zhao Jiu called for water, trembling and untying the second young master's wide clothes, his eyes didn't dare to roll around, only to hear the second young master's voice ringing in his ears: "Why don't you dare to look at me?" β
"The second young master is the master, the villain doesn't dare!"
"Does my body look good?"
"Back to the second young master, the villain doesn't dare to look at it!"
"What about your body?"
"Back to the second young master, the villain's body can't enter the eyes of the second young master!"
"I asked you to come over, what are you hiding from me for?"
"The villain didn't hide, the second young master couldn't stand because he drank too much!"
"Don'tβmove!"
"The villainβ"
At this moment, Xiao Man's voice suddenly sounded outside the house: "Second Young Lady, Second Young Master has already fallen asleep, you can't go in!" β
"There was a commotion in there just now, and you are deaf?" It was Ah Zhu who spoke for the second young lady.
Xiao Man held his head high and said stubbornly: "The second young master confessed that he has fallen asleep, even I can't disturb him, the second young lady has something to say, let's talk about it tomorrow!" β
Ah Zhu knew that there was something unseemly going on in the house, and he was also angry at the moment: "What are you, dare to talk to the second young lady like this-"
"Forget it!" The second young lady interrupted Ah Zhu's words, Ah Zhu closed his mouth, but his eyes did not let go of Xiao Man, Xiao Dong did not say a word, only lowered his head silently. The second young lady looked into the room and confessed: "The second young master has drunk too much today, you should serve more carefully!" β
"Yes, Second Young Lady!"
When there was no sound outside, the second young master looked at the closed door in a daze, and after a while, he suddenly scolded coldly: "Get out!" β
"Yes, Second Young Master!" Zhao Jiu bowed and exited the inner room, opened the door of the outhouse, and saw that the second young lady was still standing outside, Zhao Jiu bowed and said, "Second young lady!" β
The second young lady asked softly, "Has the second young master slept?" β
"I made a few fuss, and I just fell asleep!"
"Oh, that's good!" The second young lady turned around slowly, Ah Zhu and Chu Xia followed her left and right, Zhao Jiu only felt that the body was extremely slender, and he only hoped that the second young lady would not be too sad.
The next day, the second young master took Xiao Man and Xiao Dong out at dawn, leaving only Zhao Jiu in Dai Garden. The second young lady ordered Azhu to summon Zhao Jiu and whispered to him: "I heard that you were originally in the kitchen in the early summer? β
"Second Young Lady Hui, the villain and Xiaoman used to work under Consul Zhang in the kitchen!"
"Then how did you get seen by the second young master?"
Zhao Jiu thought to himself, the second young lady really knew about the second young master, so he told him about the second young master singing on the stage that day outside the kitchen, and explained his stupid thing about chasing the thief. The second young lady carefully looked at Zhao Jiu from head to toe with a pair of beautiful eyes, sighed, and said: "You are the second young master who wants to come with the master personally, I can't help it, I have wronged you here!" β
Since he was a child, no one has ever said the word "grievance" to Zhao Jiu, he is so tired and tired in Zhu Fugui's house that he can't even see a copper plate, Zhou Kunlun has never looked at him squarely, even Elder Tie, who knows the ins and outs of the matter, has never told him about his hard work, this time the second young lady said that Zhao Jiu instantly burst into tears. He raised his arm and turned his eyes away, and choked up angrily: "There is a second young lady who is not wronged by this villain!" β
"I see that your temperament is not very compatible with Xiaodong Xiaoman, they don't think like you, I'm just a woman's family, I can't leave the house if I have nothing to do, in the future, you will have to spend more time serving the second young master!"
"Back to the second young lady, the second young master doesn't seem to like me very much-"
The second young lady glanced at Zhao Jiu and said: "You are wrong, he just cherishes your stubborn temperament and left you in Daiyuan, otherwise he would have sent you back long ago, you should think about what I said!" β
"Yes, Second Young Lady!" Zhao Jiu returned to the east house, wanted to push the door in but stopped, he turned around and looked at the half-corner of the blue sky in the garden, and said in his heart, no wonder Mr. Qin said that people's hearts are the most difficult to guess. Look at that day, it was clear and clear, and what was on it was what it was, but the human heart was diametrically opposed, and there was nothing to see outside, but everything inside.
The second young master did not come back that day and night, and the light in the second young lady's room was not extinguished until dawn.
In the evening, the second young master finally came back, there was only Xiao Dong behind him, there was no Xiao Man, the second young lady didn't ask anything, and the husband and wife didn't say anything like strangers.
Xiao Dong moved back to the East House, and he threw all Xiao Man's things out, which was self-evident. Zhao Jiu thought to himself, Xiao Man's heart is big, and he wants to be a master, and he probably had some careful thoughts when Song Xiaolou came that day. For some reason, Zhao Jiu thought of Xiao Ba, and he felt that Xiao Man was nothing compared to Xiao Ba.
Since Xiaoman left the Wu Mansion, Second Young Master Wu often went out early and returned late, or even did not return. Some people in other gardens say that the second young master stays in Xijiangyue on a certain day and a certain day, and they also say that the second young master stays in Qingqi Yuan on a certain day and a certain day, and they are all the ones in the Daiyuan house who have a bad life and can't enjoy the blessings.
