Chapter 103: The Old Butler
The sun has not yet risen, and unlike in the past, the front of Dongfang Mansion is already bustling, noisy and comparable to the street after dinner.
"Grandpa, look ......" Xiao Chongyang, who was dressed as a servant, glanced at the situation outside through the crack in the door, and looked at the calm and calm Xiao Chong with a bitter face.
"This little bit of momentum scares you?" Xiao Chong was very dissatisfied with his grandson's cowering appearance.
"Of course there is no ......" shrugged his shoulders, and Xiao Chongyang said in disgust: "I just think it's troublesome......"
"The housekeeper is the one who handles these chores, you are troublesome now, what will you do in the future?" The sound of the rich vicissitudes of life is mixed with the taste of hatred of iron and steel.
Before Xiao Chongyang could answer, a shrill voice had reached the ears of the grandparents and grandchildren.
"Later?" Zhou Chang was dressed in navy blue brocade, swaggering towards his ancestors and grandchildren, his disdainful eyes swept obliquely over He Chongyang's body, and quickly removed his eyes with disdain, raising his chin and sarcastically sarcastic: "Xiao Chong, have you forgotten that the housekeeper of Dongfang Mansion is me Zhou Chang?" ”
"You-" Xiao Chongyang grabbed his neck and wanted to theorize, but he was grabbed by Xiao Chong's arm, looking at his grandfather's calm eyes like water, Xiao Chongyang turned his head unwillingly, and snorted coldly.
"Steward Zhou has a lot of nobles, so our ancestors and grandchildren won't bother." Xiao Chong said without humility or arrogance, and walked towards the courtyard with a look of anger and hatred that he couldn't wait to chop Zhou Chang's Xiao Chongyang......
"Hmph, what's the matter, do you think you're still a housekeeper!" Zhou Chang looked at the back of Xiao Chongfeng and gritted his teeth with hatred, and spat on the ground, he finally got the position of housekeeper, but in the end he still couldn't move this old guy! The fists hanging at his side clenched and clucked......
"Steward Zhou. ...... outside" The servant behind him lowered his eyebrows and reminded him, which immediately brought Zhou Chang's white eyes and impatience.
Xiao Chongyang looked back at Zhou Chang's arrogant figure disappearing, and then looked at his grandfather. said angrily: "How can the general let this waste replace grandpa, how can I say that grandpa is also ......"
"Ah——!h Xiao Chongyang suddenly let out a miserable scream, squatting on the ground with his head in his hands, gritting his teeth with a hideous face, and gasping in pain.
Xiao Chong leisurely put away the iron fist that knocked on his grandson, with a breezy appearance, and he couldn't see that he had ever done a black hand.
"Stinky old man. You deserve to be robbed of your stewardship! Xiao Chongyang's eyes were blood-red in pain, tears were shining, and he bared his teeth and roared. I didn't feel like I was going against the grain at all.
Xiao Chong was not annoyed at all, swept his grandson who was holding his head and complaining at his feet, his eyes glanced into the distance, and his empty and clear eyes reflected the bricks and tiles of Dongfang Mansion. until his view was blocked by Chongyang's fried head......
Eyes flickered. Without the slightest emotion, his eyes looked into Xiao Chongyang's red eyes, Xiao Chongyang's body trembled for a moment, and then changed to a reasonable expression, holding his head high, but his eyes kept moving, and finally fell into the withered hands of Xiao Chong who was blocked by his sleeves, Nunu mouthed: "Grandpa, I heard that someone sent you a letter last night." Do you want to take it out and let me see it? ”
"Hmph-" He couldn't help but sneer at his grandson's virtue, and sneered, "Stinky boy." Let's wait until you become a housekeeper......" waved his sleeves, and Xiao Chong turned his head and left.
"Stinky old man!" Xiao Chongyang stretched his neck and shouted, twisting his eyebrows, baring his teeth, reaching out and stroking the big bag on his head, becoming more and more angry.
"Stinky boy, in a few days, the second young master's daughter will come back, you have to take care of her......" Feng Chong's vague voice ran into the ears of Xiao Chongyang, who kept inhaling......
The hand that was touching the swollen bag stopped at some point, and Xiao Chongyang stood in the courtyard in a daze, muttering to himself: "The daughter of the second master? Really? Looking at his grandfather's back, Xiao Chongyang only felt a twitch in his forehead, and muttered: "Stinky old man, I'm still not your own grandson, it's really ruthless to start......
Before he had time to imagine the legendary eldest lady, Xiao Chongyang heard a noisy cry outside the mansion......
"Hiss......" The woman's mournful cry pierced the air and pierced straight into the eardrum, Xiao Chongyang closed his eyes uncomfortably, his face was weirdly distorted, and he hummed in his mouth: "Dead old man, let you squeeze my grandfather!" Deserve! "Anyway, I pulled my legs and chased after the back of my own grandfather!
And what about outside the door?
Zhou Chang looked at the carriage crowded in front of the door, listening to the woman's howl and crying, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead......
Although Dongfang Cao is the general of Gujia, he has always been low-key, Dongfang Mansion is naturally simple and simple, there is no luxury and majesty that a general's mansion should have, and the servants in the mansion are even more pitiful, each performing his own duties, Zhou Chang simply can't find extra manpower to deal with the chaotic situation in front of him.
And the servant behind Zhou Chang who lowered his head silently took a few steps back, widening the distance between him and the butler, and his lowered eyes were not shocked......
"Let your eldest lady save my husband!"
"Please, my lord is old, and he won't be able to live like this......"
"If you Dongfang family don't give us a word, I will die in front of Dongfang Mansion!"
……
"What's going on?"
"I heard that the young lady of the general's family made these people get a strange disease......
The surrounding neighbors gradually gathered, pointed to the crying and noisy crowd next to the carriage, and began to whisper......
Some people watched, and everyone who came to "seek a doctor" also became more and more energetic!
"If your eldest lady can't give us an explanation, we will die in front of the General's Mansion!"
"I can't be cured well, and I won't live anymore......"
"Zhao Yue! Zhao Yue! ......" Zhou Chang's eyebrows jumped suddenly, he shouted the name of the servant one after another, and turned his head to look for Zhao Yue, but where can he still see people now.
Zhao Yue didn't know when he was silently squeezed into the coffin, and his expressionless face looked at every head blocking Zhou Chang.
"Zhao Yue, Zhao Yue!"
Hearing Zhou Chang's call, Zhao Yue moved the corners of his mouth in disgust, through the gap between the crowds, and saw Zhou Chang's blushing face with satisfaction, Zhao Yue turned around and quietly bypassed the crowd, along the root of the wall, towards the sparse place of the crowd, to no one, a flash, no longer able to see his figure.
Inside the house, "Zhou Chang can stand it now......" The young man had a gloating smile on his face, thinking of the current situation outside, Xiao Chongyang felt very relieved!
Xiao Chong looked at his grandson's childish face and shook his head in distress.
"Grandpa" Xiao Chongyang suddenly pulled out his most smug smile, leaned in front of Xiao Chong, squeezed his eyebrows, and said mysteriously: "Can you secretly tell me when that eldest lady will arrive?" Why did those people come to her? Is she a doctor? Why did those people say that the eldest lady had turned them into that? ……”
"Stop!" Xiao Chong shouted violently, only then did he stop Xiao Chongyang's machine gun, his gray eyebrows moved slightly, he glanced at Xiao Chongyang fiercely, and said unhappily: "Ran to listen to the corner again?" ”
"Where? I'm listening openly! Holding his neck, Xiao Chongyang was confident: "Say it as if you haven't eavesdropped......"
"Didn't I teach you to keep your head up and smile even if you listen to the corner? You're a dead boy! ”
The corners of Chongyang's mouth twitched, he really couldn't learn this hand, and it was really rare to hear his grandfather in the corner of the wall!
After training his grandson, Xiao Chong continued to look down at the open book......
"Old man, you just sue me......" Looking at his grandfather's fairy wind bones, Chongyang couldn't help the curiosity in his heart.
"......" Xiao Chong turned sideways and didn't bother to pay attention to him!
"......" Xiao Chongyang was very helpless, as long as he stood in front of Xiao Chong, Xiao Chong would definitely look away again without a trace, and Xiao Chongyang, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to fall on the yellowed pages of the book that Xiao Chong was reading......
Xiao Chongyang's eyes were glued to the pages of the old hand, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, and finally his face was full of doubts: "Grandpa, why are you reading the handwritings of our ancestors?" He had read it too, and it was written that their ancestors had lived on the lost continent, and there was no place for them in Guga.
That's right, they are one of the inhabitants of the Federation who left the soon-to-be-destroyed continent thousands of years ago and migrated here with Yiyang in the East! Of course, the identity of the Xiao family is even more special, because their ancestors are the stewards of Dongfang Yiyang, and they have been the stewards of Dongfang Mansion for generations, without exception, although now Xiao Chong's identity is a little delicate......
"Naturally......, it's useful," Xiao Chong said softly.
"......" Xiao Chongyang rolled his eyes, every time he was in front of his grandfather, he not only felt deflated, but also felt very powerless.
Soon, a thick notebook was flipped over, Xiao Chongyang's eyes were already sour when he looked at his grandfather's action of turning the book, he admired his grandfather's super memory so much, he really didn't understand that an old man without any mystical power could never forget it, pouted, and muttered: "Haven't you seen it before?" Also see what it does? ”
"Hmm......" Xiao Chongyang's head was hit hard by the thick book again, and he was about to complain when he saw his grandfather's majestic gaze, Xiao Chongyang was so frightened that he silenced, and in the shortest possible time, he stood upright, raised his head, straightened his waist, tucked his abdomen, and looked straight ahead, not daring to stay on Xiao Chong's face at all!
Obviously, Xiao Chong has been hanging his signature smile for decades, and his speech is also gentle, it can be said that the word stern is not the slightest bit with this old housekeeper, and the deep nasolabial folds tell the amiability of this old housekeeper, but it is such a person, no one in Dongfang Mansion dares to be disobedient, of course, a guy like Zhou Chang who lacks oxygen in his brain is another matter.
Xiao Chongyang has a deep understanding that the things that annoy Xiao Chong have been done since he was a child, and he has done it a lot, and Xiao Chong will indifferently reward a few iron fists, black legs, and Xiao Chongyang will be in the past, but as long as Xiao Chong puts away his light smile and puts on a strict face, Xiao Chongyang will be stunned from the bottom of his heart, like a fear engraved in the bone marrow, and he can't overcome it.
Obviously it was a leisurely gaze like a breeze, but Xiao Chongyang felt like a knife cut all over his body.
"I'll just say that once."
Xiao Chongyang's whole body tensed, and he blinked his eyes, indicating that he was listening. (To be continued......)
