Xu Hong gradually regarded Xue Mansion as his own home, and everyone in the mansion treated him very well, no one disliked his background, and no one thought he was stupid, everyone was happy and harmonious.

Most of the time, Xu Hong was surrounded by Xue Chengyu, even if Xue Chengyu was not to the point where he couldn't leave someone to take care of him, he was willing to follow him every step of the way.

Xue Chengyu has no other hobbies on weekdays, nothing more than watching the "Mountains and Rivers" sent by his friends to understand the great rivers and mountains, customs and customs. Xue Chengyu is full of yearning for places outside Jiangnan, he really wants to go and see, he doesn't want to stay in Xue's Mansion and stay in Jiangnan for the rest of his life, he wants to go out to see the scenery different from Jiangnan, but it's a pity that this pair of lame legs can't support him to take Xu Hongyi to walk across the mountains and rivers and see the beauty of the world.

Sometimes Xue Chengyu feels that God likes to toss people very much, and he always teases people fiercely, and then gives some sweetness when it is the most difficult, so that people can remember its great kindness, remember that everything a person has is its gift, and wait until he lives a comfortable and comfortable life, and he has to take back the charity he gave before, so that people can experience joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death, and want to escape but can't escape.

Maybe what Xu Hong said is right, instead of worrying about the unknown future, it is better to live in the present, get by, and seek benevolence. The road is chosen by people, the decision is made by man, there are many things that man will conquer, everything is uncertain, just like his lame leg, he can't tell when it will be good.

What impressed Xue Chengyu about Xu Hong was his extraordinary perseverance, ordinary people would give up on a "futile work" and no return for a month or two at most, and who would go to great lengths to do it if there was no benefit to be gained. But Xu Hong is different, since he found a way to cure his legs, he has been given acupuncture every day and prepared a decoction for soaking his feet. If it doesn't work in January, insist on it for a month, if it doesn't work for a year, and then stick to it for another year, three years have passed, and he still adheres to his original intention, vowing to have the determination not to stop until the goal is achieved.

From a seventeen-year-old boy to a weak crown year, Xue Chengyu only felt that the past three years had passed too quickly, and it was no wonder that with Xu Hong by his side, life was naturally fast.

Now Xu Hong is not as cowardly as he was three years ago, although he is always glutinous and soft in front of Xue Chengyu, but in front of outsiders, he can straighten his waist and raise his head to face each other, such a change makes Xue Chengyu quite pleased.

Xu Hong's medical skills have also been greatly improved under Xue Chengyu's teaching, Xue Chengyu will go to the hospital from time to time to sit for consultation, Xu Hong will help on the side, and the efficiency of work has improved a lot.

In the evening, Xu Hong finished his day's affairs, took the decoction for soaking his feet from the medicine house, adjusted the water temperature for Xue Chengyu, took out the golden needle and began to find acupuncture points for Xue Chengyu for acupuncture.

In the past three years, Xu Hong has never stopped treating Xue Chengyu's legs, and after a long time, this golden needle blood activation technique has become Xu Hong's unique stunt, and the position of the acupuncture points on the legs is clear, even if the eyes are closed, they will not be wrong.

Xu Hong very quickly pricked three needles on Xue Chengyu's left leg, and when the fourth needle just entered the skin, Xue Chengyu's leg shook slightly, and the tremor was so small that even Xue Chengyu himself didn't feel it, but was seen by the careful Xu Hong.

After piercing his left leg and changing to his right foot, Xue Chengyu felt a burst of pain as soon as he got a needle. After five years of numbness in his legs, Xue Chengyu almost forgot the feeling of pain.

Xue Chengyu thought that the pain was an illusion and didn't care about it, but it wasn't until Xu Hong pricked the second needle that the pain came from his foot again, which made Xue Chengyu realize that he might really be able to feel the pain.

"Wait a minute!" Xue Chengyu suddenly stopped Xu Hong, and the loud voice startled Xu Hong.

Xu Hong took the needle, carefully rubbed Xue Chengyu's legs, and asked, "What's wrong, young master, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Xue Chengyu put his hand against his chin, his long eyebrows were furrowed, and it took a long time to spit out a sentence: "You pierce my foot with some force."

"What?" Xu Hong was quite surprised by Xue Chengyu's request, recalling that when he pierced his left leg just now, he seemed to see Xue Chengyu's leg reacting, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that you have a feeling?"

Xue Chengyu couldn't say whether it was really back to normal, and he could only judge from the reaction just now that his feet might feel it.

"Maybe, try to dig deeper." Xue Chengyu said calmly, ready to bear the pain in his heart.

Xu Hong watched Xue Chengyu's feet tangled for a long time before he dared to make a move, and slowly stabbed the needle deep into the flesh. When the needle was halfway in, Xue Chengyu felt a faint pain again, Xue Chengyu took out the thickest needle from the needle bag, and pierced it to the ankle fiercely. A steady stream of pain came from his ankle, which couldn't help but make Xue Chengyu's brows furrow even tighter.

Xu Hong looked at Xue Chengyu like this, and felt that he was a little stunned, so he hurriedly snatched the needle from Xue Chengyu's hand and applied a hot hand towel to the needle's eye.

Xue Chengyu could really feel the temperature of the hot water on the hand towel, not only was it hot, but it was also a little hot, and the hot skin quickly turned red. Xue Chengyu tried to move his toes, and he could control the pulling action of the meridians, except that his reaction was a little sluggish, and it seemed that there was not much difference from the normal state.

"Little Hong...... I seem to have a real feeling in my right foot...... And I can control it too......" Xue Chengyu said as he showed him the action of bending his toes in front of Xu Hong.

Seeing this scene, Xu Hong was very shocked, pinpointed a few acupuncture points on his feet, pressed them hard, and asked, "Do these positions hurt?"

Xue Chengyu nodded seriously and replied: "It hurts a little, but the reaction is still slow, and it is estimated that it will recover after a while."

Xu Hong was speechless with joy, in the past three years, he has been thinking about being able to cure Xue Chengyu's leg, even if he can restore some consciousness in his leg. Finally, the emperor lived up to his hard work, and he finally got something in return for his efforts. Xu Hong quickly put away the gold needle tied to his left leg, put Xue Chengyu's leg into the wooden barrel, and lowered his head to massage Xue Chengyu while soaking, his joy hung on his eyebrows, not to mention how happy he was.

Xue Chengyu saw that Xu Hong didn't speak for a long time, reached out and rubbed his hair, picked up his chin, and asked, "Why don't you speak?"

Xu Hong hooked the corners of his mouth, his eyes were full of smiles, "I am speechless with joy, the young master's feet can prove that so many years of hard work are not in vain, and I can make the master happy by telling the master tomorrow." ”

Xue Chengyu withdrew his hand, leaned down and played with Xu Hong's hair, thinking, and only said a sentence after a while: "This matter must be told to my father, but the time is definitely not tomorrow, and it is best not to publicize this matter." ”

"But once the young master's condition improves, tell him that it's not appropriate to hide it and not report it......

Xue Chengyu turned his head and snorted, and slowly explained to Xu Hong: "Xiao Hong doesn't understand the twists and turns in the Chamber of Commerce, let alone the fierce competition in this Chamber of Commerce, the Xue family does not easily deal with other rich businessmen and has fewer opponents, but they can't stand the covetousness of other families." The so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable, even if it is not because of the relationship of interests, disputes will cause struggles because of individuals, so it is better to be careful in everything. ”

Xu Hong has been in the Xue family for three years, but he has never been in contact with the Chamber of Commerce, and the thing he has done the most and has anything to do with the Chamber of Commerce is to be a half-baked bookkeeper, calculating some innocuous accounts for Xue Chengyu to share the duties. He didn't understand the deception in the Chamber of Commerce, and he didn't know how many enemies the Xue family had outside, he only knew that Qiao Qian, the second young master of the Qiao family, was a person who was not easy to mess with.

If he hadn't driven himself out of Qiao's Mansion at the beginning, he wouldn't have almost frozen to death in the snow, but then again, if he hadn't been kicked out, he wouldn't have met Xue Chengyu, and he wouldn't have had such a happy three years, in the final analysis, he should be grateful to him.

Seeing that the water was cold, Xu Hong wiped Xue Chengyu's feet dry and put them on the bed, quickly packed up his things, and was just about to extinguish the candle but was stopped.

"Can Xiao Hong find out about Master Luo's abnormality recently?"

Xu Hong was blinded by this inexplicable question, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of anything wrong. He has seen Master Luo a few times, he is nearly fifty years old but he does not show his old age, he is still old and strong, although he is a literati, he does things with a momentum, dares to act and has a pioneering spirit. Master Luo and Master Xue are old acquaintances, and they cooperate a lot in the Chamber of Commerce, and there will be no conflict or abnormality anywhere.

Xue Chengyu saw Xu Hong's reaction and knew that he didn't notice it, so he gently flicked Xu Hong's forehead with his hand, and took the trouble to explain: "The third sister is now at the age when she should be married, and Master Luo has also begun to prepare to marry her. It's just that the third sister and her eldest brother are both children of Mrs. Luo, who is the main wife, and if she wasn't young, she wouldn't be ranked third. The third sister is a daughter-in-law, and Xiaohong should know who the daughter-in-law should marry. ”

Xu Hong didn't think about the question of "who should the concubine marry", but fell into the question of guessing how many wives Master Luo had, Xu Hong methodically listed the information he knew, Master Luo had a son and two daughters, the eldest brother and the third sister were born to Mrs. Luo, and there must be another one born to a concubine.

Xu Hong came to a conclusion and whispered casually, "There are two ladies in total...... It's not much...... but I didn't expect to be heard by Xue Chengyu.

"What are you counting there, counting the two ladies?"

After realizing that the words were heard, Xu Hong hurriedly came back to his senses, put his hands on his lap and grabbed the corners of his clothes, lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xue Chengyu's eyes. He didn't listen carefully to what Xue Chengyu said just now, and he didn't know what he was saying, except for the two ladies, he didn't think about it, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only sit aggrievedly on the side, as if Xue Chengyu had bullied him.

Xue Chengyu couldn't help Xu Hong, so he reached out and flicked it on his forehead, meaning to let Xu Hong listen to him, "Since ancient times, people with a little status have been willing to marry their daughter-in-law to their son-in-law to consolidate their status, and it is estimated that Master Luo also plans to do the same, and wants to give me the third sister~"

"How can this work!" Xu Hong blurted out this sentence, and only lowered his tone after realizing that he had reacted too much, "The third lady's feelings for the second young master are not a day or two, Master Luo should be able to see it, how can he beat the mandarin ducks?" ”

"That's why I don't let you tell my father that my feet have regained consciousness, a few days ago, Master Luo personally visited my door and asked my father about my leg disease, with the meaning of marrying the third sister. When I was not well yet, he hinted like this, when I told him that his leg was better, wouldn't he have to force the third sister into me? But fortunately, my father suppressed this matter, otherwise if Cheng Yi knew about it, he was afraid that he would fall out with his father. ”

Xu Hong never thought that one day Xue Chengyu would become the object of someone else's family affair, but then again, even if Xue Chengyu's leg disease is not cured, he is still the eldest young master of the Xue family who is personable and gentle as jade, and he can never be his only lover.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong's heart suddenly throbbed, and the smile on his face was replaced by sadness, the person he cherished the most in front of him faced the beautiful family like flowers and jade, would he choose to betray because he couldn't stand the oppression of the family and the eyes of the world......

All this is unknown......

Xue Chengyu saw Xu Hong's mood changes and knew that he had something on his mind, so he hurriedly asked him to extinguish the lights and stop mentioning those disturbing things.

Xu Hong slowly extinguished the light and lay down on the bed, looking at the bed veil above his head and unable to sleep for a long time. At this moment, Xue Chengyu suddenly took him into his arms and whispered in his ear: "I only love you in this life and this life."

The short ten words are like a needle that fixes the sea, making Xu Hong's originally surging heart become calm. Xu Hong closed his eyes, turned his head and dropped a kiss on Xue Chengyu's lips, shrunk on Xue Chengyu's solid and warm chest and slowly fell asleep.

In this life and this life, I will only love you alone!
