The morning sun is bright and delicate, the glow blooms with thousands of rays of light shrouded in the green mountains and green waters, Xie Yu opened his five fingers, catching the looming light, the dazzling sun seems to be a fireball that slowly begins to burn, appearing and disappearing in the cracks, disappearing, on the moss stone, there are several ants struggling to roll the catch, moving along the trickling waterway above the rockery.

Occasionally, an unknown petal falls, flickering and turning, falling to the stone surface unhurriedly, the breeze blows, it flutters again, the pink stamens exude attractive buds in the golden light, waving their hands upward, the naughty petals go back and forth along the fingers, the five fingers are slightly raised, it also rises with the strength, falling, as if full of attachment, and full of reluctance, fluttering and falling on the ground gradually withering.

He laughed and muttered: "Yue'er, flowers fly and dance, for a short time, just like a person, he will fly high by the wind, but without the contact of these five fingers, it will fall to the bottom, slowly buried by the footprints of the past, withered, like?" ”

Ziyue blinked her big eyes and pouted, "The slave doesn't know what the young master is talking about. ”

After all, the ants could not see, and fell into the water with their booty, but they still persevered in their bites, and finally flowed into a pond not far away, and a series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, and the fish opened their mouths and swallowed them.

"That's it, that's it, look at the tone of your voice, why don't you understand my thoughts!"

Ziyue knew what he was talking about, in the past few days, he obviously felt that the young master seemed to be snubbing her, and his heart was also panicking, if he angered the master and was assigned to another courtyard, all these years of hard work would be in vain.

Rubbing the corners of his clothes uneasily, he raised his eyes and secretly looked at the young master and said in a low voice: "The slave is presumptuous, and she will not think about those things in the future, as long as she serves the young master well, she will be content." ”

Xie Yu laughed when he heard this, he knew that he was misunderstood by this little girl again, and now her heart was full of why she didn't have a room, she didn't have a room, but she was afraid of annoying him, but she didn't like it, and she didn't bother to explain, so that this spoiled maid could be more restrained, only the benefits were not harmful.

"Go faster, go faster, go back and bury the housekeeper, these silver taels are enough for your mother-in-law and grandson to eat for a lifetime." There was a voice in the distance, Xie Yu walked a few steps forward, bypassed the rockery, and saw three people walking in front, in front of the front yard steward Xie Ning was hurrying with an old woman and a low-headed young man about ten years old, he couldn't help pretending to cough, he heard it clearly, this old woman and young man should be the eighth grandfather Xie Chong in the inner house, Xie Shouyi's family, oh! It was the one who died tragically in the pond a few days ago.

Xie Ning is such a shrewd person, seeing that someone is coughing, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen the Ninth Young Master, Miss Ziyue." ”

"Quick, this is the Ninth Young Master, don't kowtow yet."

The old woman was old, and she was holding her grandson in her hand, so she quickly knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "The old slave has seen the Ninth Young Master. ”

The boy also knelt on the ground with some fear and saluted, always keeping his head down.

Xie Yu stepped forward to help the two of them up and said, "It's cold on the ground, the old man should get up and talk." ”

"Shainin, this is"

Xie Ning was annoyed in his heart, and he thought that there were many people walking on the avenue, so he took these two enemies from the small door, walked through the garden, and went out through the secret door of the side hall, no one could see it.

He hurriedly replied with a smile: "Young master, this is the official slave in the mansion, the little one will take them out." With that, he was about to leave.

"Wait." Xie Yu waved his hand and motioned to the other party to stop: "Didn't I hear just now that some silver taels are enough for grandchildren to eat for a lifetime?" Isn't it the family of Xie Shouyi's housekeeper. ”

Xie Ning had been fighting for a long time, and seeing that he couldn't hide the matter, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Young master, this matter is not easy to manage, the eighth lady has explained everything, don't be embarrassed." ”

The second brother in the clan, Xie Chong, also said that this matter is going to be over, seeing that the old woman lost her son and had a grandson to raise, it was not that he was soft-hearted, but such a matter of human life did disappear under the luster of the silver two, although it was said that the life of a slave in this era was not worth much, especially this official slave, born to be a member of the Xie family, and died to be a ghost of the Xie family, smarter, just like Xie Shouyi, it is a great thing to be a housekeeper, what is it that makes this Ba Niang take such pains to do this?

Xie Yu rubbed the fluffy stubble on his chin with two fingers and said, "Boy, what's your name?" Literacy not? ”

The young man lowered his head, and when he heard this, he obviously shuddered and muttered: "Back to the young master, the little slave's name is Xie Zheng, and he is not illiterate." ”

"Xie Zheng? Iron bones, then you know martial arts? ”

"Young, young master, the little slave knows how to do martial arts."

Xie Yu smiled, stepped forward and patted the kid's shoulder with both hands and said, "Raise your head, I'll take a look." ”

Xie Zheng shook his head, and said in a quieter voice: "The little slave doesn't dare to be afraid of scaring the young master." ”

The old woman knelt down and choked up: "My grandson has an ugly face, don't look at it, if we frighten the young master, we deserve to die." ”

Xie Yu couldn't help but feel a little strange, helped the old woman up, turned his head and glared at Xie Ning, who was frowning, and tried his best to calm his voice and said: "Don't dare to look up if you are ugly, do you want to do this for the rest of your life?" ”

Xie Zheng took two steps back, gritted his teeth and said, "Young master, don't persecute the little slave!" ”

"Lift up." Xie Yu's voice raised an octave.

"No~ the little slave would rather die than carry it." I don't know where this kid got the courage to say it viciously.

Xie Ning suddenly smoked from his seven orifices, Xie Yu is a relative in the house, the most noble lineage, even if the eighth lady investigates it afterwards, it can't help the deviation in status, at most it is just a loss of face, a dead slave dares to contradict, and when he raises his foot and kicks Xie Zheng to the ground, the young man is caught off guard, he stumbles, and he hits the mountain rock behind him with a shake of his head, and the blood gushes like a spring when he lands.

The old woman wailed and threw herself on her grandson's body, trembling and holding her still drooping face, and said with tears pouring out: "Don't deceive people too much, my son was beaten to death, and we can't even see the corpse, what else are you going to do, what else are you going to do?"

The shriveled lips were hollow, and the expression of the screaming voice was hideous and terrifying, Xie Yu's heart trembled, and seeing that Xie Ning was about to raise his feet again, he dodged to block it and scolded angrily: "Stop." ”

Xie Ning roared back a few steps and glared fiercely at the grandfather and grandson.

Xie Yu leaned down, holding the young man's still bleeding face with both hands, and slowly wanted to lift it up.

Xie Zheng seemed to have a certain heart to die, and the hands that fell to the ground and clung to the grass bundle suddenly moved, clenched into fists, and smashed the opponent's chest vigorously.

Xie Ning was suddenly frightened half to death, and shouted: "Dare! ”

Ziyue's heart hung in the air, and she hid her face with her hands.

The old woman couldn't stop crying, her face was pale and she wanted to block her fist, "pop" and "pop" two crisp sounds, everyone was shocked, and when they looked at it, they were all relieved, only to see Xie Yu's huge palms catching his fists at the same time, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "It's so strong." ”

The young man raised his head in an instant and was about to struggle, so frightened that the old woman fell to the ground and hugged Xie Yu's thigh and cried: "The young master spares his life, the young master spares his life, the grandson is ignorant, if you want to kill, you have to kill me, I will suffer."

What a terrifying face, Xie Yu finally saw clearly, the left half of the young man's face was completely gone, his face, along with the flesh of his lips, disappeared, and collapsed deeply, what was even more creepy was that several teeth were leaking out, and the pink tender flesh after the trauma was torn open by the impact just now, and blood was flowing down, but the face on the right side was indeed very delicate, if the left side of the face was blocked, just look at this side, he was also an extraordinary-looking young man.

Xie Zheng mustered all his strength to pull back his fist, and his palpitating face was full of anger and shouted: "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you, it's you who killed Daddy, it's you who killed Daddy." ”

Xie Yu's heart was broken and said, "Yue'er, bring your silk handkerchief." ”

Xie Ning had seen this young man several times, and he was not afraid of this face, seeing that the young master was not angry, he also put down his heart and said: "This"

"You are busy with your going, if Banniang asks, you will say that these ancestors and grandchildren are now enslaved in our hospital, and they will definitely keep their mouths shut."

Xie Ning couldn't help but say with a bitter face: "Young master! If this is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that it will laugh at the fact that there is no one in our family to use. ”

Xie Ning smiled bitterly, stretched out his hand to take the frightened Yue'er handkerchief, the young man withdrew his fist, he was about to hit, when he heard that, he couldn't help but get up, let the other party gently wipe the blood, and then covered the handkerchief on the wound, picked up his hand and pressed it on it, helped the old woman and turned back and said: "What else do you want me to say, if you want to leave, I will say." ”

Xie Ning shuddered, secretly scolded these two troublemakers in his heart, saluted, and retreated carefully.

Don't think about it, it must be this Ba Niang who did something bad that he couldn't see people, killed Xie Shouyi first, and sealed the mouths of his ancestors and grandchildren with heavy money, not that he wanted to take care of it, but he was afraid that these two people would enter his yard, and the owner of the yard would have trouble sleeping.

The old woman obviously heard what she said just now, hugged her grandson and cried: "Thank you young master, thank you young master, don't get into trouble, our ancestors and grandchildren were sent to slavery by Mrs., and gave a large sum of money, let us out of the house, find a place, and put a grave for my son, and this life is like this." ”

Desolate or not desolate, he was sad when he heard it, and thought about it: "Mother-in-law, the outside world is chaotic, Xie Zheng is young, and this face, you must hide from people to survive, not to mention that this kid will die of old age in the mountains in the future, and if you want to marry a daughter-in-law to inherit the family lineage, you will be scared to death, and the road ahead is so long." ”

"You are free from slavery, you are free people, I shouldn't have stopped you, but once you get out of Xie Mansion and no one is sheltered, so many silver taels will be watched by people sooner or later, causing trouble, it is better to live here, I will teach this kid to read and write, teach him martial arts, so that he has a support."

"Don't think that I have a good idea for a while, it's better like this, I recognize Xie Zheng as my brother, how about it!"
