When Xu Qingchen returned to Biezhuang with the dessert, Ah Yu was already asleep. Xu Qingchen put the dessert on the head of Ah Yu's bed, so that she could see it as soon as she woke up, and then reached out to cover the quilt for her, and then returned to her Tingzhuxuan.

Early the next morning, Ah Cai also rushed back to the other courtyard, and Zhou Chong knew that Xu Qingchen had come back last night, but he didn't tell him too late.

Zhou Chong's leg injury had been completely healed, he decided to thank the noble man of his fate, and was about to go to listen to Zhuxuan, when he heard someone knocking on the door, he walked over quickly and opened the door, "Childe, why are you here?" I'm about to go over. "Obviously, I was a little surprised that Xu Qingchen came over early in the morning.

"I heard Ah Cai say that your leg is already healed, I'll take a look." Zhou Zhong let Xu Qingchen into the room and sat down, poured a cup of tea and solemnly handed it to him, and then knelt down to perform an ancient ceremony, Xu Qingchen wanted to avoid it when he saw this, Zhou Chong's eyes stared at him but stubborn and firm, Xu Qingchen sighed helplessly in his heart, so he had to sit down quietly again, Zhou Chong then said, "Zhou Chong knows that he has not done anything for his son, but he is so dedicated to my father and daughter, I am a rough man who doesn't know what to say, your kindness is unrequited, I remember it in my heart, Zhou Chong is willing to follow Gongzi from now on to do his meager efforts, and I hope that Gongzi will not give up! Then he leaned over and saluted again.

Xu Qingchen looked at him lying on the ground, and understood in his heart that this was Zhou Zheng turning their equal relationship into a seemingly reasonable relationship between superiors and subordinates, and turning his relationship with his father and daughter, who are also relatives and friends, into a simple and rigid relationship of loyalty and loyalty, because only in this way can it conform to the eyes of the world, and will this honest and honest farmer have a sense of steadfastness and security.

"Since you insist on this, I will not force it anymore. From today onwards, you will take over as the steward of Linyue Tower. ”

"Yes, I will do my best to live up to my son's expectations!" As he spoke, he got up and gave a solemn salute.

"If it's arranged, you can come by at any time, and someone will take you through the business." "And ...... Ah Yu likes it very much, you can let her stay in the other courtyard temporarily, and I won't stop you when you settle down and want to pick her up. After Xu Qingchen finished speaking, he got up and helped Zhou Zhong with his own hands.

"Yes! I've already informed Ah Yu of my decision, and Childe has a special place to live with me as a housekeeper, so I plan to take Ah Yu to live there. Zhou Zhong stared at Xu Qingchen firmly, he knew in his heart that Xu Qingchen valued his father and daughter very much, and it was because of this that he was eager to draw a clear relationship with Xu Qingchen before the bond deepened, so that it was good for Ah Yu and better for Xu Qingchen. Even if doing so may hurt Xu Qingchen.

"Okay, if you decide, do it, I'll wait for you to make a result." Xu Qingchen patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, "Let's go, follow me to see Ah Yu, she should wake up at this hour." As he spoke, he took the lead and walked out of the study door, and Zhou Zhong followed closely behind, but he went from walking side by side to following him three steps away.

"Childe! You came to see Ah Yu, you see, this is the hibiscus cake that Gongzi promised Ah Yu to bring me! Seeing Xu Qingchen coming, Ah Yu said excitedly while picking up the dessert on the table and showing it to the two, "The hibiscus cake is delicious, thank you, son!" ”

Looking at Ah Yu's innocent smiling face, Xu Qingchen smiled faintly, "It's good if you like it, I'll buy you what you like to eat later." "But it's better to eat less desserts, it's not good for your teeth, you know?" Xu Qingchen reached out and rubbed Ah Yu's head, and instructed her carefully.

"Well, Ah Yu wrote it down, but I don't need to help Ah Yu bring it in the future, my father said to take me to live in the city, very close to the shop that sells desserts, Ah Yu can go and see it in person in the future!" Ah Yu seemed to say with infinite longing, if you ignore the red and swollen corners of her eyes that she had obviously cried, she really thought she was an innocent and ignorant little girl.

Xu Qingchen shook his head and couldn't help laughing, "Hehe! Child! Saying that, he opened his arms and looked at Ah Yu, no matter how sensible he was, he was a child in the end, and he suddenly couldn't control it, and he threw himself into Xu Qingchen's arms with tears in his eyes.

"Ah Yu! No way! How can you be rude to your son, how did I tell you, Ah Yu! Zhou Zhong frowned and wanted to stop it.

"Zhou Zhong, it's okay!" This is the first time Xu Qingchen has called his name by name.

"Yes, Childe." Zhou Chong clasped his fists and bowed to the side.

"Childe, will you go to see Ah Yu when you're not busy in the future? Or can Ah Yu come to see you when he thinks of you? Xiao Nizi burst into tears, and asked Xu Qingchen with a thick nasal voice.

"Of course, I'll see you when I'm free, and you can come to me at any time." Xu Qingchen helped her wipe away the tears on her face, and her gentle voice soothed Ah Yu's sad and reluctant emotions.

"Alright, Ah Yu, it's time for us to set off." Zhou Chong saw that Ah Yu's mood had stabilized, so he gently reminded him.

Sent the father and daughter to the carriage, said goodbye lightly and asked the coachman to send the father and daughter to Linyue Tower, Xu Qingchen had already passed the book and explained everything, and when they arrived, naturally someone would take good care of it, no need to say more.

Seeing the carriage disappear into the ridge in the distance, Xu Qingchen turned to look at his own village that had suddenly deserted, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then lazily raised his feet and entered the house and closed the door.
