Thirty-two: Never treat your own people badly

A moment later, the neighing of horses was heard at the foot of the mountain, and soon it spread upwards, and countless torches reflected the gray forest in a golden red.

A large group of people is coming towards Dongshantan. The first was Song Zhonghao, who was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. He rode on a large sturdy horse, which was dark and bright-colored, shining in the light of torches.

Today, he doesn't have the lazy and casual appearance of the past, and his eyebrows are full of anxiety. Riding on a horse, he kept looking around and kept scolding at the same time.

"Keep your eyes open, you can't find anyone, you don't have any good fruit to eat!"

"Quick, whoever finds someone, this son will be rewarded!"

Zhong Hao's identity is noble, and there are many guards with him, he was trapped in the middle of a bunch of people with people and horses, advancing and retreating, he was obviously impatient, and pulled away the two people in front of him with a whip, "Get out!" What are you doing around this son, go find it! ”

The bodyguards usually protect Zhong Hao's safety, except for Zhong Hao, they never care about anyone else. This was the first time I had seen Zhong Hao so angry. They were all a little stunned, and hurriedly received the order for a moment, leaving only two people to escort behind Zhong Hao, and the rest of the people joined the search for people.

Xu Qingxia sat up weakly and slowly, his eyes followed the spreading firelight, and smiled softly.

Zhong Hao's men came quickly, and it only took half an hour to find them.

All three of them were injured and embarrassed, especially when they saw Xu Qingxia's breath dying, seriously injured and dying. Zhong Hao's eyes turned from surprise to vigorous anger, and he shot at He Ge like a sword.

A person like Zhong Hao, who is free and uninhibited, is so fierce and cold when he starts to get angry. He Ge was stared at by him, and timidly moved behind Ke.

"Everyone is injured at the moment, so it's important to go down the mountain first to heal." Ke changed the topic, it was the first time he had seen Zhong Hao like this, it turned out that Xu Qingxia was so different to him. But I don't know how much of this difference can account for Song Zhonghao's heart. Ke suddenly wanted to take a good look at it in the future.

"Gongzi Ke is right, still," Xu Qingxia wanted to ease the atmosphere, but before he finished speaking, he coughed sharply, and his face became even paler.

Zhong Hao hurriedly stepped forward to support him, "Where is the medicine that Mr. Doctor dispensed?" ”

A helpless smile appeared on Xu Qingxia's pale face, and he pointed to the left sleeve. Zhong Hao reached out and took out a delicate glass bottle, and fed the pills inside to Xu Qingxia to take. Then he turned his head and commanded the men below, "Hurry up and help them to their horses." ”

The Song Mansion is the most luxurious mansion in Duanchengli. Backed by a man-made Qiyun Mountain, the strange rocks on the mountain are craggy, the ancient trees are planted all over, the pavilions and pavilions have everything, standing in the starry pavilion of the Qiyun Mountain, the whole picture of Duancheng can be seen at a glance. The Song Mansion is even more meandering, meticulously carved, the small courtyard of the water pavilion is layered on top of each other, and there are countless strange trees and flowers, strange stones and treasures. Even the most inferior sprinkler and sweeping servant woman is dressed in ayaluo, and her hair is full of hairpins.

And in the entire Song Mansion, the most luxurious place is the "Jade Pavilion" in the east. This is where Song Zhonghao lives every day.

Zhong Hao loves luxury, but he is very unaccustomed to those golden and brilliant vulgar people, and the furnishings in the pavilion should be arranged in accordance with the requirements of the eldest prince, and they are beautiful and elegant, and they are priceless. A single piece of curtain is also specially purchased from Suzhou of the finest silk, by the years of embroidery spent months to weave the double-sided embroidery, the craftsmanship is exquisite, a horse is worth 100 gold.

In the Su Ri, there is always music in the Jade Pavilion, the aroma of wine bursts, if you get closer, you can also hear the laughter of the beauties. These days are very different, and the jade pavilion is very quiet. The maids and servants didn't come and go much, and even when they came, they were holding the tray with low eyebrows, with light footsteps and no movement.

Xiao Si held the thick account book and tiptoed into the Jade Pavilion.

"Mother Cao, Mother Cao, is the young master inside?" The little servant lowered his voice, stood in the courtyard, and asked a middle-aged servant woman.

The servant woman hurriedly waved her hand, also lowered her voice, and said with a faint reproach in her tone: "Shh, you can speak softly, Young Master Qingxia had a high fever last night, and he tossed all night, and he just fell asleep, you are so screaming, beware of being whipped." ”

The little servant shrank his neck in panic, looked in the direction of the bedroom with a pair of eyes, and took a hesitant step towards the servant woman for a long time, and lowered his voice. "Mother Cao, is the little cousin here? In the past few days, the young master has not been at all on the council, and there are many things backlogged on the counter, and the old man was a little angry yesterday. He looked nervously again, "We are helpless to be subordinates." ”

The servant sighed, "Don't say that you are not easy, we are serving in this courtyard, and we don't worry about it for a few days." Our young master is giggling all day long, as long as he encounters the matter of Young Master Qingxia, he is very concerned. ”

"But it's not, the young master of Qingxia came back from being injured in Futu City last time, and the young master almost didn't kill Yan Ting, who went with him, if it wasn't for the old man to stop him, he would just remove his deputy dart head and beat him with a small punishment of twenty sticks." The little guy stuck out his tongue as he spoke.

"As soon as this young master Qingxia is injured, the young master wants us to change our tricks to make tonic food, and young master Qingxia can't eat so much alone, it's a pity in vain." Mother Cao said with regret.

The little guy smiled at the moment, "There are two sides to this, Young Master Qingxia doesn't eat it, isn't it just cheap for us, Mother Cao, I see that your complexion has been much better than before, ruddy like a girl!" ”

Most of the small servants of big families have sweet mouths, and the servant woman who said a word was happy in her heart, and she laughed softly.

"What's going on!" Song Zhonghao stood at the door of the bedroom with an iron face, and the small hall behind him was closing the door lightly.

When the two of them saw Zhong Hao's face, they immediately stopped silent in panic and stood in place with their hands down.

Since Xu Qingxia was injured, Zhong Hao's temper has been very hot, and the day before yesterday, it was only because Xiao Si in the kitchen sent the tonic decoction half a minute late, and it was slightly cold. Zhong Hao ordered someone to whip that Xiao Si ten times and sent him out. On weekdays, Xu Qingxia is the most kind and approachable, and he also likes to chat with his subordinates, plus he is not a serious young master of the Song family after all, everyone doesn't care much, and sometimes he messes up the etiquette. As soon as this incident came out, everyone was secretly surprised in their hearts, and they had to look at Xu Qingxia a little more in their hearts.

These two people are so good, but they picked the stall where he had a high fever repeatedly, and it was on top of Zhong Hao's anger that they collided.

"Come on, take them out." Zhong Hao's tone was majestic, and before he finished speaking, the two of them had already knelt on the ground with a plop and began to plead.

"Young master, spare me!"

"Young master, young master, the little one doesn't dare anymore."

Even if they pleaded, the two didn't dare to open their throats, and kept suppressing their low begging.

There were a few dull coughs from the bedroom behind him, Zhong Hao turned around and walked back, and the small hall opened the door with a very eye-catching look. Before entering the door, Zhong Hao roared in a low voice: "Get out!" ”

Mother Cao and Na Xiao Si hurriedly thanked her, and immediately got up and trotted out of the yard.

The bedroom was full of strong medicinal fragrances, covering Zhong Hao's original incense. On the large bed carved by Nanmu in the inner room, there is a soft Shu embroidered brocade quilt, a light blue gauze tent hangs on the top of the bed, and the colorful scented bags hanging down from the four corners are woven with gold and jade.

Xu Qingxia was lying beside the bed, coughing lowly.

"Why did you wake up so quickly? It's not that the doctor added the effect of sleeping in the medicine, why did he still sleep for a while. What a quack! Xiao Tang, tell Steward Meng to clean up the old man. Zhong Hao angrily instructed Xiao Tang as he walked quickly to Xu Qingxia's side and helped him up.

"I'm fine, Xiaotang, I don't have to go." Xu Qingxia smoothed her breath, smiled faintly, waved her hand at Xiao Tang and said, "I'm a little thirsty, get me a glass of warm water." ”

Xiao Tang nodded, turned and walked out.

"What, you're teaching people again?" Xu Qingxia still smiled faintly: "Yesterday, Lu Qiao came to deliver medicine, I wanted to talk to her more, but she didn't dare to talk." If you continue like this, don't say that the people in the house, even outside, few people are willing to take care of me. The reputation I have saved up so hard in the past few years is about to be ruined by you. ”

"Fame is nothing, it doesn't matter if you want it or not. As long as what you say still has weight, reputation won't come back sooner or later. Zhong Hao was a little unremitting.

"There are some things you don't have to be in such a hurry, since it has already begun, it will always work." The tone was still gentle, but there was no smile in Xu Qingxia's eyes.

"It's good to be slow and poisonous, but I just want to work harder, so that you don't work too hard. Yan De's old horseman, relying on the relationship with my father for many years, is too disobedient, in addition to letting his son Yan Ting be your enemy at the dart gate, but also against me in other places, it's really damned! Zhong Hao's eyes were extremely cold, "Song Men is rich, there are too many old things like this, and they must be killed to be the main gate." ”

Xu Qingxia stiffened undetectably, back then, his adoptive father died violently, and the cause of death was unknown for many years, he didn't suspect it. Songmen has never been rich and comfortable on the surface.

"Anyway, it's my fault." Zhong Hao's tone suddenly became a little low, "Let you risk being injured in Futu City, so that I can have a chance to dispose of Yan Ting, and by the way, remove the Yan family's power in the dart gate." You're so stupid, why do you really hurt yourself so badly. However, don't worry, I fed poison on the stick that beat that guy, he just won't die, and he will be a waste in this life, and your grievances will be repaid. As he spoke, he sighed and pinched Xu Qingxia's shoulders and arms, "In the future, it will get better." ”

Xu Qingxia patted Zhong Hao's hand back and comforted, "That's good." As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed sharply again, and he bent over with a straight cough. It took a long time to recover.

Zhong Hao helped him smooth his back and said, "The old wound has not healed, and I went to the mountains to see what insects." What's the charm of that girl? ”

Xu Qingxia paused, looked at the peony pattern on the brocade quilt, and his eyes were a little dumbfounded, "Gongzi Ke, it's really a blessing." ”

"Blessings? I think it's convincing. I'm really convinced of this girl, I dare to think and do anything, where is there still a woman's charm? ”

Xu Qingxia smiled, but didn't say anything.

"What, you really like that girl?" Zhong Hao sneered, "Although you have such a reputation in the rivers and lakes, you haven't seen the wonder of women yet." Things to do, don't be too careless. When you recover, I'll take you out for a walk, and then you won't catch that little girl. ”

Xu Qingxia shook his head a little helplessly, Zhong Hao reached out to support Xu Qingxia's chin, turned him to himself, looked up and down, squinted and smiled: "Today I finally know why the little white face has been so popular since ancient times, your sick face is really weak willow caressing the wind, I feel sorry for it." ”

Xu Qingxia coughed softly when he was teased by Zhong Hao, "You are always like this, now that you are the head of the Song Mansion, how can you still be so unserious?" ”

Zhong Hao smiled, turned over, sat on the inside of the bed, found a comfortable angle to lean, took out a notebook from his sleeve and flipped it up, and replied lazily: "It's okay, that's it, Young Master Ben is by no means a person who treats himself badly." ”
