Chapter 31: Bodyguards

"That's good. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chun Qiao continued: "As the head of the family, the eldest young master should have eight maids and two grandmothers around him, but the eldest young master goes out early and returns late, and he likes to be quiet, so there are only four of us in the subordinate room of Zhuyuan, and now there is one more you." Don't think that if the eldest young master is not here, he can come at will. Except for cleaning and eating, you are not allowed to leave the backyard at any other time, you know? ”

Zhong Liyue nodded silently.

Seeing her becoming more and more acquainted, Chun Qiao's anger in her heart disappeared a lot.

When she arrived at the study, Chun Qiao pushed open the door and walked straight to the table, she pointed to the incense burner on it and said: "Every time I come to watch the night, the first thing I do when I enter the house is to order sandalwood, and then wipe the table and chairs. ”

"Didn't you wipe it in the morning?" Zhong Liyue said strangely.

"The eldest young master likes to be clean, we must be spotless."

Zhong Liyue let out a 'hehe' sound, and picked up the rag and wiped it speechlessly. Taking this opportunity, she just took a look at what the study of the rich family in ancient times was like.

This is also the first time she has seen the study in a serious way, and when she came in before, she was haunted by things and didn't dare to look around.

Shen Zhaoyan's study is thirty square meters large, and as soon as you enter the door, you can smell a faint mint fragrance. Inside, there is a built-in open cabinet on the north wall, and there are many lattices in the cabinet, and each lattice is placed with relief artworks. In front of the cabinet is a large desk, and the front is full of the four treasures of the study. On the right-hand side of the desk, separated by two people's positions, there is a small separate bookcase filled with yellowed old books, which are supposed to be used often.

To the south of the study there appears to be a compartment, flanked by small openwork plackets with dark gray curtains hanging from the middle. Zhong Liyue guessed that it might be a small bedroom for occasional rest. Unexpectedly, Chunqiao walked over and pulled the curtain, but rows of cabinets full of books came into view.

"Wow!" Zhong Liyue couldn't help but marvel at this small library.

If he hadn't personally learned Shen Zhaoyan's shrewdness when settling accounts, Zhong Liyue would definitely have been deceived by his elegance and these books.

"Chun Qiao, I'll clean up!" Zhong Liyue walked over, took the feather duster in Chunqiao's hand, and asked.

Chun Qiao glanced at her questioningly, hesitated for a moment, and then gave her the feather duster.

Zhong Liyue looked at so many books with bright eyes, and unhurriedly began to take them out while dusting them off.

It's hard!

After Zhong Liyue turned a few pages, she found that the book she had read before was simply pediatric.

"Don't mess with the book of the eldest young master!" Chun Qiao saw Zhong Liyue standing still, and immediately came over to close the book in her hand, and warned: "The placement of these books is in accordance with the habits of the eldest young master, if he finds the wrong place when he looks for the book one day, he will definitely be punished." ”

Zhong Liyue smiled wryly: "I see some dust on it, so take it down and wipe it." ”

"Is there one?" Chun Qiao stared at the books on the shelves suspiciously, and swept them a few more times with his hand, "Where did the dust come from?" We cleaned it every morning. ”

"Clean every morning and again in the evening?" Zhong Liyue shook her head helplessly, there was really no one left.

Chun Qiao ignored it and said, "Hurry up!" The eldest young master is coming back soon. ”

After a quick cleaning, about two quarters of an hour later, Shen Zhaoyan came back.

Chun Qiao and Zhixia immediately got busy, making tea and pouring water, Zhong Liyue pestle was learning on the side.

Shen Zhaoyan finished cleaning his hands and sat down behind the desk, Mingde hugged a stack of account books, and he didn't know when he was going to see it.

After all this, Chun Qiao glanced at Zhong Liyue and motioned for her to retreat.

When he got outside, Chun Qiao went to rest.

Only then did Zhong Liyue know that the reason why there were at least two maids on duty at night was because they could take turns to rest. There are compartments outside the study and bedroom in the bamboo garden, which are specially used for the maids on night duty to rest.

Zhixia glanced at Zhong Liyue, thinking about it, and ran to hide from the lazy. In the past, the eldest young master rarely called them at night, except for when they first came back and before going to bed to wash and wait, they basically stood outside and waited.

"Zhixia, why don't you tell me what you have to do later, I'll do it, and you go to rest and rest?" Without waiting for Zhixia to speak, Zhong Liyue took the initiative to mention it, "Anyway, there are three of us tonight." ”

Just what she wanted. Zhixia suppressed the joy in his heart, and pretended to be indifferent: "The eldest young master has always been attentive to his work, and he will rarely send us to do anything before he rests. There's someone waiting, just in case. It just so happens that you need to hone your skills, and I'll give you this opportunity tonight. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhong Liyue was sincerely grateful: "Thank you so much, go and rest!" I'm here! ”

"Keep watch, and don't leave without permission. If there is anything that cannot be done, call us. Zhixia was uneasy and repeatedly explained several times.

finally looked her away, Zhong Liyue instantly collapsed to the ground, "Oh my mother! "The muscles that had been tense for a day suddenly relaxed, and it was so sour, it was so refreshing. Zhong Liyue's whole face was distorted in pain, and she kept calling her mother.

"Not good."

A voice suddenly came from overhead. Zhong Liyue looked up and saw that Ye Chuan, who was wearing a black suit, was leisurely leaning on the room and looking at her.

I almost forgot about him.

Zhong Liyue asked nervously, "What's bad?" ”

"It's not good to sit like this." Ye Chuan said solemnly.

Zhong Liyue sweated, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "What's in your way?" Do you know I'm tired from the day? What's wrong with sitting for a while? And it doesn't affect my duty. Besides, you're still lying down! He is covered in green hair, and he also says that people are monsters. Lowering her neck, Zhong Liyue suddenly remembered something again, so she raised her head again and said, "No, what are you doing?" Also on duty? So what else do we need us to do? ”

"Safety." Ye Chuan cherished the words like gold and replied.

"Safe?" Zhong Liyue knew that he was in charge of the safety of the eldest young master. Bodyguards, maids, the standard for the rich. "It turns out that we are all people with the same fate. Hey, my name is 'Liyue', what do you call it? ”

"Ye Chuan." Again, the answer is short.

Zhong Liyue nodded, and teased herself: "Anyway, it's better than 'Five Seasons'." It shouldn't have been the eldest young master who helped you get it, right? ”

"Master."

"Your master gave it to you?" Zhong Liyue has already figured out Ye Chuan's way of speaking, regardless of whether he doesn't want to waste saliva or just like that, at this moment, it is good to have someone to listen to her spit out. "I'll just say it! The eldest young master is too distracting to name people. Fortunately, I insisted on calling my real name, otherwise I would have almost thought I was a black chicken by 'four seasons and five seasons' every day. ”

"Someone."

Shen Zhaoyan's voice suddenly came from the room.

Zhong Liyue paused, pricked up her ears and listened, but there was no movement. Is it a hallucination?

"Get in." Ye Chuan's voice sounded from above his head.

Zhong Liyue looked up at him and asked uncertainly, "Did the eldest young master call me?" ”

Ye Chuan didn't answer, Zhong Liyue gritted her teeth, climbed up with her arms propped up, pushed the door in, and asked softly, "Is the eldest young master calling me?" ”

"Why did it take so long to come in?" Shen Zhaoyan frowned slightly, raised his eyes to look at Zhong Liyue, and asked solemnly, "Didn't Chun Qiao teach you that you should call yourself a 'slave' in front of your master?" ”

Zhong Liyue immediately changed her words: "The slave knows that she is wrong. What does the eldest young master command? ”

Shen Zhaoyan didn't pursue it, and said directly: "Grinding ink." ”
