Three

Princess Rui led Zhao Chengjin into the palace, and Xu Yu quieted down.

There are a lot of maids in Liyuan, but they have all been beaten by Cui Yu and dare not walk around. But the little maids were so young that they couldn't bear the loneliness, and when they saw that Cui Yu was not there, they went to the courtyard and whispered. Xue Fei is not very qualified, so she can't control them in the end, so she simply doesn't speak and hides in the house to do needlework.

Xu You basked in the sun in the yard for a while, his ears were full of the sound of the little maids chirping, and he couldn't sleep quietly, so he simply got up and walked around a few times around his waist. The cat is small, but it is extremely agile, and sharp nails have grown on its paws, and it goes up to the roof with three or two hits against the wall.

The sky was blue, pure as far as the eye could see, clearer than the most beautiful gemstones. The sun shone on her body, lazy, so that she couldn't help but doze off for a while. He dozed off on the roof for a while, and then woke up hungry. Her current little body can't eat much, but it digests it quickly, and she can't wait for a meal. Looking up at the sky, it was not yet noon, and I was afraid that lunch had not yet been held in the palace. Xu You thought about it and decided to try his luck in the kitchen.

She didn't know where the kitchen was, so she just walked around with her head covered and her head covered. The roof of the palace is connected to the roof, but it saves her the effort to go up and down. Not long after walking, there was a burst of strong aroma of food between his noses, and Xu You was overjoyed - he was right.

Xu You went down to the roof and hid on the beams to observe the movement in the kitchen, seeing that it was about to have lunch, it was the time when the kitchen was busy, the people who lit the fire, the people who chose vegetables and washed vegetables, and the people who were in charge of the spoon, all of them were sweating profusely. The cooked dishes were sent to the next room by the aunt who helped the cook, and two tables were full.

Xu You stood on the beam of the room and took a few closer looks, saw the stewed chicken on the table inside, and was just about to jump down, when suddenly a figure flashed at the door, and a skinny little boy came in. The boy was about ten years old, and wore a short gray cardigan, washed white, and his face was sallow, but his eyes were black and large, and his eyes were clear.

Looking at this dress, it should be a subordinate who does rough work in the house, how did he get here?

Xu You was pondering, the boy had already picked up the chopsticks on the table and put some fish and chicken nuggets in each bowl, quickly wrapped them in oiled paper, and stuffed them into his arms. The boy was about to go out when he had packed up, and when he looked up, he caught a glimpse of a pair of cat's eyes, and his heart was so weak that he retreated again and again, and almost fell to the ground.

"You-" The boy was probably the first time to do this kind of stealing and touching a dog, and he was very timid, even if he just bumped into a cat, he was still pale with fright, "You don't ...... Don't scream, I'm ...... Neither am I...... It's not a stealer, my mother is sick...... Sick, I'm ......."

Xu You stared at him with round eyes, and looked at him for a long time without blinking, with a very serious expression on his cat face. The boy became more and more weak-hearted, biting his lower lip and not daring to make a sound. If it is really a habitual thief, he will either turn around and run away at this time, or scold it through gritted teeth, where can he be so overwhelmed.

There are just a few things to eat on the left and right, and it is a piece of filial piety, Xu You is not easy to embarrass him, and slowly turns his round head to the side, as if he has not seen it at all. The boy was stunned for a moment, then looked at her twice, touched the oiled paper bag on his chest, gritted his teeth and turned to open the door.

Before he reached the door, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps outside, and the boy's face changed suddenly, and his already pale face became more and more white as paper. He staggered back two steps, trying to find a place to hide, but the room was not large, and there were several large tables full of them, and there was still a place to hide his tracks. In a panic, the door had been pushed open, and a short middle-aged man came in, full of the smell of oil smoke, but it was the cook next door.

"Okay, you little rabbit cub, you dare to come to your fifth master's territory to steal food, see how the fifth master cleans you up today." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed towards the boy menacingly. The boy was born thin and had no strength, and secondly, he was ashamed of stealing things, and he couldn't even hide, he shrank his body with his head down, and slapped the fifth master heavily on his face, blood immediately oozed from the corner of his mouth, and a large lump was swollen on the left side of his face.

After all, it's just a child, even if he really steals, he can't be scolded like this. Xu You was excited, jumped off the roof beam without thinking about it, landed on the fifth master's shoulder, and then stretched out his claws and gave a guy in the face fiercely.

I only heard a strange cry of "wow-", Xu You's heart moved, and he quickly withdrew from the fifth master's shoulder, and quickly hugged the pillar, slipped back to the roof beam quickly, and condescendingly "meow-" to the fifth master with disdain. The fifth master was so angry that he trembled, where could he still take care of the little boy on the side, he walked around the room, found a broom behind the door, and waved it at Xu You for a while.

The fifth master was born short, that is, he took a broom in his hand and still couldn't reach Xu Yu on the roof beam, tossed for a while, angry and annoyed, threw the broom to the ground fiercely, and then spat and scolded: "Little beast, you wait for Lao Tzu to see." As he spoke, the man had hurried out of the city.

There were only two boys left in the room, the boy and Xu You. The boy's face became more and more swollen, and his originally neatly combed hair was also disturbed by the fifth master, and he looked very embarrassed. He didn't cry, sniffed and walked to the beams of the house, and said to Xu You with an anxious face: "Little kitten, you run quickly, the fifth master is the most grudgeful, I'm afraid that I won't go to find a long stick at this time, and I won't be able to escape if you turn back." If it falls into his hands, I am afraid that I will lose my life. ”

The fifth master is a grumpy guy at first glance, although Xu You has Zhao Chengjin as a backer, but firstly, he is not in the mansion now, and secondly, the people in this kitchen are afraid that a few will recognize her, and they will really fight for a while, but no one will help her. If you really die here, wouldn't it be too unjust?

Xu Youneng flexed and stretched, "meowed" at the child, and jumped away from the window quickly. When he got on the roof, he saw the fifth master rushing out of the utility room with a penny, and when he caught a glimpse of Xu You on the roof from a distance, he jumped angrily, chasing him while shouting and scolding, Xu You looked at him coldly, calculated the length of the penny in his hand, calmly took a few steps back, and did not move.

She had a serious cat face, holding her right paw on guard at all times, and her shape was a bit convex like a beckoning cat—after realizing this, she lowered her paws again with black lines, and sat in place with a graceful and dignified appearance.

The fifth master used the strength to eat milk and stabbed the penny to the roof, and the penny swayed from side to side, but there was always a difference of one or two points, and he never got to Xu Yu's side, so angry that the fifth master scolded. The people in the courtyard came out to see the excitement, pointing, talking and laughing, and some even suggested that they should move the ladder.

Mama Li, who helped the cook, came out of the house when she heard the movement, saw the snow on the roof, stomped her feet and rushed out, shouting: "Stop, stop, don't mess around, I'm afraid this is a cat raised by the prince, if you lose a hair, you have to shed your skin." ”

The fifth master shook his hand, stumbled under his feet, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and muttered with a pale face: "No, I haven't heard that the prince has a cat?" ”

Mother Li said hurriedly: "Yesterday afternoon, the maid next to the prince came to the kitchen to ask for beef, and said that she wanted to give it to the cat, and you were dozing in the house at that time, so naturally you don't know." ”

The fifth master got up on the ground tremblingly, glanced at Xu You on the roof with some fear, and complained in a low voice: "How did the prince of the world's cat touch our kitchen." After saying that, he glared at Xu You unwillingly. Xu You puffed out his face and glared back at him condescendingly, and his murderous appearance startled the fifth master, and muttered: "Sure enough, it is the cat raised by the master, and it has a big temper." As he spoke, he dispersed the crowd of onlookers in the courtyard.

Xu You glanced at the kitchen a few times, but he didn't see the little ghost, knowing that he should have taken the opportunity to slip away, so he was relieved, trembled and retreated, and quickly returned to Liyuan.

Cui Yu was not there, and the matter of serving Xu Yu fell on Xue Fei's head. Although this little girl is not as capable as Cui Yu, she is also gentle and kind, and she has a lovely round face, Xu You likes it very much, and calls at her "meow-meow-meow-" and wants her to accompany her to talk. It's just that Xue Fei is a timid and scared person, and she thought that she was not serving properly, and the more she listened, the more nervous she became.

Xu You had no choice, gave up the meaning of communicating with Xue Fei, and after eating, he climbed onto the roof and continued to sleep in great loneliness.

This sleep lasted until Zhao Chengjin returned home, and in his sleep, Xu You faintly heard Xiao Shizi's voice, and immediately pricked up his ears to look around. She slept for a long time, her mind was a little foggy, and her feet were as if she had stepped on cotton, and she was careless, and her body was so weak that she rolled off the roof.

My life is on hold—

Xu You let out a miserable scream of "Uh-huh", and tears were about to come out in an instant......

However, the expected sharp pain did not appear, and her small body fell softly into a warm embrace, as warm as a goose down quilt in a dream.

Rescued! Xu You took a breath, swallowed back the little heart that jumped to his throat, and cautiously raised his head to look at her savior, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he was shocked by a pair of deep eyes.

Oops, this is ...... It's so pretty, isn't it?

Xu You's mouth grinned, saliva flowed out, she quickly rolled her tongue, trying to take the saliva back, but she still didn't have time, and then ...... And then there is no more......
