Cen Xi stared at the half-branch who was silently crying with a bitter little face, frowned, and was a little impatient. Obviously, she was in a hurry to get to her side, as if she was persecuted.

"What? Nothing to say? ”

Cen Xi looked at the tears of half a branch, and only felt irritable in his heart, and his tone was a little heavy.

“…… Hiccup......"

Banzhi raised his eyes with red eyes to look at Cen Ximian with a cold face, only to feel that he was extremely evil tonight. Not only did he refuse to speak well, but he also pushed people, where is there a modest and polite appearance on weekdays, Banzhi was a little stunned in his heart, and he didn't dare to cry too presumptuously, so he had to hold his throat and sobbed gently, but he accidentally pulled out a crying hiccup.

“……”

The room was extremely quiet, and the half-branch hiccups were clearly heard by Cen Ximi. Cen Xijun only felt suffocated in his heart, and he couldn't say any more about the prepared rhetoric.

“…… Young master, no matter what you think of the slave and maid, but the slave and maid have nothing else to ask for you, and now they just want to take care of you. ”

Banzhi also felt embarrassed, but what should be said had to be said. wiped away his tears, looked at Cen Ximian and defended very seriously.

"Huh...... Preferably so. ”

Cen Xi is used to spying on people's hearts, and he only needs to pay a little attention to know that Banzhi is not lying, but for some reason, there is no ironing in his heart, but the meaning of irritability is even stronger.

"Alright, you can step aside."

A sense of powerlessness rose in Cen Xi's heart, and he didn't want to say more about half of the branch, so he only waved his hand to drive people away.

"Yes...... Does the young master need a slave or someone else to clean up the house? ”

Banzhi got up from the ground, and was about to leave after the salute, but suddenly caught a glimpse of the water stains from the small compartment on the side had reached the outer room.

Hearing this, Cen Xijun pressed his faintly painful eyebrows a little tiredly, but he forgot about it.

"Call Ah Yan in and clean up."

Cen Xijun has never liked others to enter his house, although he doesn't want to go in and out these days, but in the end he is used to it, and now Cen Xijun doesn't want this annoying little girl to dangle in front of him, so he has to ask Ah Yan to clean up.

"Yes."

Banzhi was relieved now, and opened the door with a limp and went out.

……

"Young master, the minion has already cleaned up the house."

When Ah Yan first entered the house, he was also frightened by the messy scene, after all, Cen Xiyi has always loved tidiness, and it was the first time that the house was so messy.

"Hmm."

Cen Xijun was still sitting on the small collapse, but he was not as lazy and presumptuous as when he faced Banzhi just now, and now he was holding a book and looking down at it, and he returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

“…… Young master, the half-branched girl asked you, where is she going to live? ”

Ah Yan looked at Cen Ximian's cold expression, and thought of Banzhi's pleading, so he had to ask for her. After speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Cen Xijun again.

When Cen Xijun heard this, he turned the page for a moment, and continued to flip it over as if nothing happened, just a 'bang', obviously not very happy.

Ah Yan listened to the unusually loud sound of flipping books and the strange silence, and couldn't help but regret agreeing to Banzhi's request. He has been with the young master for five years, but he is only doing things outside the house, and Miss Banzhi is the only maid he has ever seen who can serve the young master closely, and he still thinks that the young master values Miss Banzhi. Only then did he see the half-branch girl coming out with a limp, and then saw that the room was in a mess, and he thought that the young master had brought the half-branch girl ......

"Let her live in the Huanhuayuan to the south."

Cen Xi didn't raise his head, and commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes."

Ah Yan should have lowered his head, only thinking that his brain was kicked by a donkey, so he would think about these affairs to the young master. Just hearing the words 'Huanhuayuan', Ah Yan felt a little sympathetic in his heart for a while.

The young master was originally an indifferent character, but after being injured, he became a little more depressed and ruthless. Others may not know, but Ah Yan has been helping Cen Xijun with things, and in the end he can get a glimpse of some hidden changes, and now it seems that this half-branch girl is afraid that she has made her son unhappy.

As the young master of Cen Mansion, Cen Xijun also monopolized half of Cen Mansion, although he did not pay attention to residence. This Huanhua Courtyard is a courtyard on the south side of Cen Xi's residence. Although the name is good, it is actually a laundry room with a broken house, which used to be lived by the servants of the Huanyi in the house, but then it fell into disrepair, and the windy and rainy weather was not good for people, so the people inside moved to the west of the people's room.

It was originally going to be renovated last month, but then something happened and it was delayed, but now it is being used by the young master to rectify people.

"The minions are gone."

Ah Yan saw that Cen Ximian was silent for a long time, so he wanted to retreat first.

"Wait"

Cen Xijun put down the book and stopped it loudly, and then he was looking at Ah Yan.

"What does the young master command?"

Ah Yan hurriedly stopped and bowed down to wait for Cen Ximi's instructions.

She ...... How's it going? ”

Cen Xijun was a little hesitant to say this, and when he asked the whole question, his face suddenly turned cold, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of entanglement.

"Back to the young master, Mrs. Hu Shao has been fine recently, husband and wife...... Love, on the day of returning, the slave watched from a distance, the two looked intimate, and Young Master Hu was very considerate to the young lady. ”

Although Cen Xijun did not say who 'she' was, Ah Yan thought of what Cen Xijun told him some time ago, and he also knew that she was referring to Miss Yu in the young master's mouth - now she has to be called Mrs. Hu.

Ah Yan was very depressed in his heart, he was a good little guy, and he did some unsightly errands. He followed before he got married, and now everyone has become someone else's wife, and he still follows, what is this called!

Cen Xiyi suddenly heard the title of 'Mrs. Hu Shao', and his heart was astringent, only to feel that all the unspeakable pain that he had deliberately ignored during this period of time poured out from the bottom of his heart, and his pretense of pretending to be calm was also stripped off, and the bloody reality never let him go.

"That's good...... In the future, you don't have to follow, you will go to Buzhuang tomorrow to follow the shopkeeper to do things. ”

Cen Xi put down such a sentence, waved his hand to signal Ah Yan to retreat, and went to the inner room without looking back.

Ah Yan got up and looked at Cen Xi's thin and somewhat depressed back, shook his head slightly, and retreated lightly. The young master of his family is not completely indifferent, but he is too infatuated and stubborn.

……

"Ah Yan, you're finally out!"

Half Zhi stood under the porch and waited for a long time, it was the hour when it was more exposed, Half Zhi was thinly dressed, and now he was holding his arms to keep warm, and when he turned his head, he saw Ah Yan coming out of the side room.

"Well, the young master said to let the girl live in Huanhuayuan."

Ah Yan looked at the white little face, the eyes were full of expectation, and the sympathy was even stronger, in such a place, I don't know how many days this little girl with fine skin and tender meat can stay.

"Oh, I know, thank you."

Banzhi just came to serve in Cen Ximi's courtyard, and he didn't know what kind of place the Huanhua Courtyard in Ah Yan's mouth was, but he just listened to the name like an elegant little courtyard, so he was still a little happy, and hurriedly thanked Ah Yan. These days, except for the first day, I slept in Cen Ximi's room, and the rest of the time I slept in Mama Liu's room, and I was embarrassed to spend half a branch for a long time, so I took advantage of today to ask Cen Ximian for a place to live, so as not to forget it again.

"Uh...... There's nothing to thank, it's not too early, so let's go and rest. ”

Ah Yan saw that there was no dissatisfaction on Banzhi's face, and he knew that she didn't know what the Huanhuayuan was, and he couldn't say anything, so he only urged her to rest, and she arrived at the place early to clean up, maybe it would be better.

"Uh-huh, Ah Yan, you should also go and rest, thank you today, I will treat you to a snack another day!"

Banzhi did stay cold outside, and he didn't talk to Ah Yan anymore, and after saying goodbye, he went to look for Huanhua Courtyard.

……

At the beginning of the child, Banzhi finally found the Huanhua Courtyard.

Banzhi looked up at the three big characters on the plaque with the paint off - she didn't recognize it, but it should be, after all, she asked three people to touch this place.

Banzhi looked around again, and when he saw the gate with missing corners and the courtyard wall where most of the wall skin had been lost, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

There was no light in the courtyard, but fortunately the moon was bright enough tonight, and half of the branch was smoothly touched into the courtyard by the moonlight. The yard is not big, there is only a well and some crooked bamboo poles and bamboo racks in the courtyard, which should be used to dry clothes. Other than that, there was only one low house, probably the size of the ear room in Cen Xi's courtyard.

Banzhi carefully avoided the scattered bamboo poles on the ground, and reached out to push the door open. The old wooden door made a piercing 'squeak' sound when it was pushed by the half-branch, and before the half-branch could see the scene inside, he was choked by the rotten flying dust that came to his face, and he coughed up tears before he could stop.

Half of the branch went in the dark, found the window, opened the closed window, and the moonlight outside leaked in, and the dark room was illuminated. There is no bed in the house, only a kang, which can sleep five or six people. Inside, there was a wooden wardrobe of the height of a man, and in the middle of the room was a wooden table with a broken leg, and the candlesticks and porcelain bowls on it were skewed to the floor.

Half a branch picked up the rusty candlestick and put it on the big kang on the side, and there was a small half of the candle on it, but half of the branch did not have a fire fold, and it could not be used for the time being.

The house had obviously been uninhabited for a long time, and the corners were covered with cobwebs, and the empty kang was covered with a thick layer of ash.

"Ahh

Banzhi opened the wooden cabinet to see if there was anything like bedding in it that could last for the night, but as soon as she opened the cabinet, she saw a black shadow coming out of it, which startled her. Half Branch took a few steps back sharply, caressing his violently beating heart, and as the black shadow looked over, it turned out to be a big black mouse.

The rat ran so fast that it disappeared in a puff of smoke. Banzhi exhaled and turned to look at the closet—there was nothing but a big hole.

Banzhi shook his head helplessly, this Cen Xijun is really ruthless!

It's just that thinking of Cen Ximi's strange appearance tonight, Banzhi now also reacts, not so much the upper body of the evil ghost, but that he inadvertently peeked through Cen Ximi's embarrassed and helpless side, and then he was angry.

Banzhi was also frightened before, but now that he calmed down and thought about what Cen Xijun said, he could know that he was stimulated for a while and his emotions collapsed. Also, there is such a big thing in Cen Mansion - Master Cen is gone, Young Master Cen is lame, his daughter-in-law has run away, and Buzhuang is about to collapse, this series of blows can make Mrs. Cen depressed, can make the people in the house confused, and can make the people who protect the city talk with emotion, but he can't make Cen Xijun frown, he has always been a breezy appearance, as if these tragedies have nothing to do with him.

If it weren't for the fact that Banzhi had been serving in front of Cen Xijun for the past few days, and seeing him crying after drinking and having trouble sleeping, I really thought that Cen Xijun didn't care - in fact, she thought so before.

Cen Xijun is too cold, and he always feels alienated that he can't touch. Because of his outstanding talents, everyone seems to regard him as an unbeatable and invincible god, but he is not, he is just a living person of flesh and blood.

It's not that he doesn't care, but he puts all the pain and tears into his heart, and it will only be triggered in certain situations, obviously just taking a shower and falling down is one thing.

Imagine how helpless and depressed a proud man like him should be when he can't even wash up simply.

Thinking of this, Banzhi couldn't afford to blame him.

"Like me?"

Cen Ximi's hoarse and seductive voice is still in his ears. Half a branch lowered his eyes and smiled,

I guess I like it

……

When Banzhi came, he only packed up some clothes and some small items, and didn't bring any futon or anything - after all, who would have thought that Cen Xijun would be able to put his maid in a room without futons!

Banzhi took an old dress and wiped the ashes on the kang, and it took a long time to wipe out a clean place for her to lie down alone, and fell asleep with a thick jacket on her pillow.

——————

Early the next morning

"Young master, the slave serves you to wash."

Cen Xijun was standing beside the bed, buttoning up his robe, when he heard an unfamiliar female voice outside.

"Come in."

Cen Xi frowned slightly at the maid who walked in with the basin of water, this maid's face was very—not half a branch.

"How are you? What about half a branch? ”

Cen Xijun noticed that the maid in front of him was very restless and glanced at his face, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and asked coldly.

"Miss Banzhi is sick, and when Mama Liu went to see her today, she found that she seemed to have a fever, so she sent a slave maid to serve the young master."

Which maid didn't notice Cen Ximian's displeasure, she still stared at him, and blushed as she spoke, and her thoughts about Cen Ximian were simply revealed.

"Get out!"

After the maid finished speaking, she was about to put down the copper basin and clean her face for Cen Ximian, but she was startled by Cen Ximian's sudden scolding, her hand trembled, and the water in the basin overflowed a lot.

“…… Yes, yes, slave and maid get out. ”

The little girl caught a glimpse of Cen Ximian's cold face, and she didn't dare to stay any longer for a while, so she hurriedly bowed down and retreated, not even putting down the basin. That maid was the first time to serve Cen Xijun closely, and she originally thought that she could be looked down upon by the young master as an aunt, but now she somehow annoyed Cen Ximi, afraid of being hit by the board, and that little bit of caution also dissipated cleanly.

In fact, Cen Xi's family is not close to women, and he is very disciplined, and the maid in the house knows it, and everyone didn't dare to have such pickled thoughts earlier, but recently there was a half-branch girl in the courtyard, and the young master not only let people serve him closely, but also often get along with the half-branch girl alone, which clearly means this! It's just that yesterday the young master suddenly placed the half-branch girl in the Huanhua Courtyard, thinking that the girl had fallen out of favor, which made everyone's mind lively and wanted to replace it.
