Chapter IV: Equality

Zhong Lei skillfully put the account books into his bag, picked up the bag and prepared to leave. But when he saw Ah Feng walking in with tea, he stopped again and looked at her with a bored expression, "You really don't have any eyes at all, don't you know that I'm going out?" Ah Feng lowered his head slightly, still holding the tea in his hand, "Eldest young master, Mrs. wants you to come back early in the evening to have dinner with her and the second young master." When Zhong Lei heard this, he couldn't help but sneer, and simply put down the bag in his hand, walked around the desk and approached Ah Feng to examine the teacup in her hand, "I said why did you send tea early in the morning, it turned out that you were passing the word for your mother." Ha, when the second child came back, he remembered that he wanted me to come back as a foil earlier. ”

"Mrs. is not in good health, if the eldest young master and the second young master can accompany her more, she will be very happy." Ah Feng has never taken the initiative to take Zhong Lei's words, she knows that there is a difference between master and servant, and the more she understands her identity, the more she knows to be careful everywhere. But listening to Zhong Lei say something like that, she only felt that if Zhong Bai knew about it, she would be very sad. I have stayed by Zhong Bai's side, and if I don't say a word at this time, I will really become a servile person.

"Haha?" Zhong Lei was very surprised that Ah Feng would say such a thing, and looked at her with interest, "It turns out that my eldest young master of the Zhong family is not as sensible as a maid." You think I'm not sensible enough, do you mean that? Ah Feng hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to raise her head again, she was very flustered and scared, "Young Master, you misunderstood, I, I just think my wife is too lonely alone." "Lonely...... Lonely ......" Zhong Lei kept repeating, watching Ah Feng's eyes suddenly become gloomy, "What are you!" Teach me how to deal with my own mother! "Ah Feng doesn't dare!" Ah Feng raised his head in astonishment and took a few steps back in fear.

Zhong Lei glanced at Ah Feng coldly, her hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly, although she raised her head, she didn't dare to look at him, and there seemed to be a crystal clear thing in her eyes. Ah Feng's appearance made Zhong Lei even more annoyed, he kicked Ah Feng in the abdomen, and the hot tea was all spilled on Ah Feng's body, "I can't see your grievance the most." What is there to be wronged about, are you a young lady! ”

Zhong Lei was about to raise his foot again, and suddenly saw Zhong Yu standing outside the door, still holding a delicate white porcelain tea caddy in his hand.

"Big brother." Zhong Yu's gaze swept over Ah Feng, who was slumped on the ground and in embarrassment, and calmly called Zhong Lei. Zhong Lei put down his feet, straightened up without hurry, and looked at Zhong Yu, "Ah Yu." ”

Zhong Yu's gaze was calm, as if he hadn't seen anything, "Oh, I brought you tea from Japan and wanted to bring it to you, but when I came, I saw that the door was open, so I ......" "It's nothing, Ah Feng accidentally knocked over the tea." Ah Yu, come in and sit. Zhong Lei restrained the anger in his eyes and welcomed Zhong Yu in. Zhong Yu walked in and glanced at Ah Feng, she fell to the ground, one hand covering her abdomen, the other hand stretched out and grabbed the ground and tried to get up, the front of her clothes was also wet, she looked terrible. Zhong Yu didn't go over to help Ah Feng up, walked forward casually, put the tea canister on Zhong Lei's desk, and then turned to look at Zhong Lei, "It just so happens that Ah Feng is here, I'm going to the kitchen to boil medicine for my mother, but it's difficult for me to master the heat as a big man, so can my eldest brother ask Ah Feng to come over and help me." ”

"Okay, Ah Feng, you can go with the second young master." Zhong Lei agreed without hesitation, and looked at Zhong Yu with a smile as he spoke, "Ah Yu, you are too angry, what do you want to do, do you need the help of the eldest brother, will the eldest brother refuse?" It's just borrowing a subordinate, what's not to do. "Then thank you, big brother." Zhong Yu finished speaking, and moved his gaze to Ah Feng, who had staggered to his feet, and at this time, Ah Feng also happened to correspond to him. Ah Feng had some fine sweat on his forehead, his hands covered his abdomen that had just been kicked by Zhong Lei, and he quickly let go of his hand the moment his eyes met Zhong Yu. Zhong Yu looked at Ah Feng and said softly, "What are you still doing standing there, come here." "Yes." Ah Feng answered, and the pain on the ninja's body turned into a casual look and walked to Zhong Yu's side.

When she walked to the corridor, Ah Feng's body had no strength, and the fine sweat on her forehead gradually intensified, at this time, Zhong Yu, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and walked back a few steps to Ah Feng's side to support her. Ah Feng was stunned for a moment, and quickly retracted his arm, "Second Young Master, no." How can I let you help me......" Zhong Yu suddenly smiled at Ah Feng, and once again held Ah Feng's arm that had just retracted, so that she could stand steadily, "There is nothing that can't be done." You're in charge of taking care of your eldest brother, so you don't have to worry about that with me. You must be in a lot of pain right now, and I'll help you better. Now that the eldest brother is gone, you can also let go of your baggage. Forgive me for not helping you when I was in the study......"

"I understand." Ah Feng nodded, and there was a faint trace of sadness in his clear eyes, "The eldest young master doesn't like others to meddle in his own affairs, if the second young master helped me just now, the eldest young master will be even more angry, and then I will have to bear more than just a cup of hot tea." Xu was a little sad because of that, Ah Feng's expression was a little trance, and he looked at the few apricot petals floating in the wind in front of him, and he was fascinated by the sadness. When she came back to her senses, Zhong Yu was looking at her with a smile. Ah Feng looked at the smile on Zhong Yu's face and was stunned. Looking at Ah Feng's reaction, Zhong Yu smiled even brighter, "What do you think?" "Oh, nothing." Ah Feng shook his head a little embarrassed. "Then let's go." The smile on Zhong Yu's face was still the same, and he helped Ah Feng to walk forward slowly......

Ah Feng fanned the medicine jar in front of the stove, and the dried tea stains on her clothes and the sweat on the stove made her look even more embarrassed. Zhong Yu stood behind Ah Feng, took out a handkerchief and handed it to Ah Feng, "Because the time for boiling the medicine can't be deviated, I can't give you time to go back and change your clothes, let's wipe it with this first, it's clean...... Take it. Ah Feng took the handkerchief and bowed his head slightly, "Thank you, Second Young Master." Zhong Yu looked at Ah Feng's sweaty face, and lowered his head helplessly, "I'm sorry." "What......" Zhong Yu's sudden apology made Ah Feng a little overwhelmed. Seeing Ah Feng's overwhelmed, Zhong Yu felt even more guilty, "I apologize to you for my eldest brother." It's up to us to forgive him for the sake of being part of the Zhong family, okay. Ah Feng was silent, just laughing at himself, he was just a maid in this huge mansion, what qualifications did he have to choose whether to forgive the owner......

When Ah Feng was thoughtful, Zhong Yu took the fan in Ah Feng's hand and gently fanned the medicine jar, "The fire here can't be too big, the fan has to be lighter." Ah Feng looked at the flames under the medicine jar and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "I started working as a maid when I was four years old, first serving my wife, and then my wife asked me to serve the eldest young master, and I became the eldest young master's maid again." In fact, nothing has changed, and the same is still the master who is just serving. Since I've been a subordinate since I can remember, I know very well when to be patient and when to be more patient. It's like a medicine pot on this flame, it has to be boiled slowly, slowly burned, and the heart will not be filled with only worthless bitter water. After all, 'learn to obey and learn to endure' is what we should do, in fact, the eldest young master is a good person, but he is a little short-tempered...... I am really grateful to the Second Young Master for seeing my difficulties today and bringing me here. ”

Zhong Yu listened to Ah Feng quietly, didn't look back at her, and continued to fan the fan, "Don't say that, it's me who needs your help, I'm hungry Oh thank you, I don't know how to master the heat of medicine without you." Ah Feng looked at Zhong Yu fanning the fan very skillfully, and couldn't help but smile lightly, "Actually...... You know the heat of this medicine better than anyone, don't you? You just don't want me to feel like you're sympathizing with me, right? "I don't sympathize with you, I just think it's very undeserved......" Even if Ah Feng said it, Zhong Yu still didn't look at her, focused on the movements in his hands, and said a peaceful word, as if he was saying it to Ah Feng, and it seemed to be saying it to himself. I don't understand what the second young master means. Ah Feng's voice was very small, and it seemed that this question was just asking herself.

Zhong Yu put down the fan in his hand, turned his head, and looked at Ah Feng, "You don't deserve to suffer like this." Ah Feng, this world is equal, everyone is also equal, no one is qualified to let others suffer, no one has to suffer such suffering. Ah Feng listened to Zhong Yu's words, first was silent, and then looked at Zhong Yu with a puzzled expression, "Is this world really equal?" Ah Feng vaguely remembered that once upon a time, he also believed that everything in this world was beautiful. At that time, she was still by Zhong Bai's side, and she was a young child, probably because she was not very old. Later, as he grew older, Ah Feng gradually understood that he was not qualified to define himself as a member of the Zhong family, and he was also not qualified to choose something, so he gradually stopped believing in those things that he believed.

Ah Feng's gaze wandered and restless, while Zhong Yu's gaze was even more determined, "Trust me, I will let you see the world of equality." My eldest brother may not know about it yet, but I promise he will find out later. So in the future, if he makes you feel hard, don't resent him too much, don't be silent and patient if you are wronged, you can come to me when you encounter difficulties, and I will definitely help you. "How can this be, you are the young master, and I am a maid...... Just now, you've already helped me once, and that's enough. Ah Feng's heart was grateful, but his face did not dare to show excessive excitement, reason told her that Zhong Yu seemed to be the only person in this mansion who believed in "equality", and he should not disturb his belief. In everything, people who are always willing to believe are happier, and someone can be happy, which is a good thing.

"You can, of course you can." Zhong Yu's gaze was still determined, firmly corresponding to Ah Feng, "Because we are equal, I will help you when you encounter difficulties, and you will also help me when I encounter difficulties, this is the first step of equality." Ah Fengsui deliberately avoided Zhong Yu's gaze, but after hearing his words, he took the initiative to look into his eyes in disbelief, "You are a young master, with such an identity, you will also encounter difficulties?" "Of course, I will also encounter some things like that, I will feel helpless, I will feel heartache, the pain is almost suffocating......" Zhong Yu replied without hesitation, Zhong Yu fell into deep thought as he spoke, and he didn't come back to his senses until he heard the sound of the soup boiling, "Really, I seem to have confused you, the medicine is boiled, right?"

Ah Feng approached the stove and looked at it, took a bowl and poured the medicinal soup into the bowl, "The medicine is boiled, I'll bring it to my wife." Zhong Yu stepped forward and took the medicine bowl and put it in the tray first, "Give it to me, you go back and change your clothes." With that, Zhong Yu left with the tray, leaving Ah Feng alone in the kitchen.
