Volume 1: The World Out of Nothing (4) A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way
Listening to Yan Yue's words, Yu Tianlu also felt that his heart was hot.
Actually, although it took a lot of effort to make a vacuum cleaner, it didn't even have the strength to sweep the floor.
However, this Yan Yue is willing to help him, and Yu Tianlu is also happy to take a rest on the side.
Looking at the autumn colors in the garden, Yu Tianlu couldn't help but touch the scene, and casually chanted Lin Kui's "Mountain Round Little Plum".
Yan Yue on the side couldn't help but complain when he heard this: "Xiao Lu! Xiaolu, you guy is good at everything, but he always loves to be cranky. Could it be that in your original world, everyone is like you shaking their heads and endorsing books? ”
"Well! Calculate... Sort of! ”
Yu Tianlu couldn't help but sigh that in his original world, the fast-paced life has no time and time for those who work hard to read poetry. Or they selectively forget the tranquil artistic conception, allowing the fast-food culture to gradually fill the entire spiritual world.
"It's a strange world, no wonder you have so many weird ideas in your head." Yan Yue sighed as he swept it.
"One day in the future, I must find a way to return to that place."
"Why? Isn't it good here? ”
"It's nice here, with grandpa, with you...... But there are also things that I have a nostalgia for! ”
"Then can you take me to see it?"
"Yes! You know, I've always felt that you're better suited to that world. ”
"Why!"
"What this world can do with the 'power of visualization', in my world, it takes incomparably hard work!"
"That's it! That's a good idea! I'm a guy who can only do a lot of things, and I have room to survive. Save the kids from laughing at me all the time. Yan Yue said with a serious face.
Regarding the fact that he came from other worlds, Yu Tianlu only talked to this simple-minded Yan Yue. After holding it back for so many years, having someone to confide in can also alleviate his homesickness.
Because after so many years, Yu Tianlu knows Yan Yue's personality very well. As long as he promised not to say it, even his mother couldn't pry his mouth open.
And such a mysterious thing is also nonsense in the eyes of others, and no one will believe it at all.
"Alright, I'm done!"
As he spoke, Yan Yue also cleaned up the remaining fallen leaves.
Next, this silly boy like a perpetual motion machine also neatly packed the fallen leaves into cloth pockets little by little.
With the piles of cloth pockets, the entire courtyard was completely cleaned.
It's done, and the two friends can finally sit on the big bluestone and take a breath.
After about ten minutes, a fat middle-aged man slowly paced towards the place.
He is Ma Zhenbei's housekeeper, and behind him are also a few family members.
Originally, the work of cleaning the courtyard should have been entrusted to these people. But this time, Mafu happened to have an important matter temporarily, and the family members were also transferred.
However, Ma Zhenbei suddenly ordered to clean the courtyard, and Steward Ma, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor, casually assigned this job to Yan Yue.
"Now think about it, can that one child clean a garden that big in one afternoon?" Steward Ma came back to his senses and regretted his decision very much, "That kid can't complete his plan." ”
So as soon as the affairs of the town were over, he immediately selected a few strong laborers with quick hands and feet, and hurried back here to help.
"In any case, at least half of the garden can be swept away!" While thinking about it, Steward Ma also walked into the courtyard very nervously.
And when this stocky horse steward walked into the courtyard with people, the scene in front of him was really astonishing.
"Liar! Have all so many fallen leaves been cleaned up? ”
"Don't you see those cloth pockets? It's all packed up! ”
"How can a child have such a great ability, I guess I will find someone else to come over and do it together!"
Those family members are also talking about it.
"Alright, don't speculate here. I'm going to see where the kids are. Steward Ma also glanced at the audience, "I remember that the kid's name is Ah Ye!" ”
"I'm obviously called Ah Yue, okay!" At this time, Yan Yue saw Steward Ma and the others, and he also rushed over.
"Sure enough, it's you, kid!" Seeing Yan Yue who suddenly appeared, Steward Ma was also surprised, "Did you sweep these fallen leaves alone?" ”
"How is that possible!" Yan Yue was also very honest, "Steward Ma, you are really interesting. When I took the order, you didn't know to tell me clearly, it was such a big garden. If it weren't for someone's help, I wouldn't have been able to do it alone. ”
"It's not such a big garden, will I pay you ten gold coins?" Steward Ma smiled, "Children, there is no free lunch in the world!" With such a large amount of work, you probably have found a lot of people! Is the commission of 10 gold coins enough? ”
Steward Ma was actually very satisfied with the work that Yan Yue had completed, and was wondering if he should add one or two gold coins as a tip.
"Enough, enough. I just asked my good brother Xiaolu to come and help. Yan Yue said casually.
"Just got a helper?"
Steward Ma's puzzled gaze also fell on Yu Tianlu, who was walking towards him.
"You can't be the helper Xiao Lu that this brute boy said!" Steward Ma asked.
"I'm sorry, my big name is Yu Tianlu." Yu Tianlu doesn't like strangers to look down on him.
"Yu Tianlu, the name is not bad."
As he spoke, Steward Ma also looked Yu Tianlu up and down.
"I mean, you're just a six or seven-year-old kid. Children, even if you are added, you can only do the work of carrying sacks. It's not good to lie! ”
"Who lied, what are we going to lie to you for?" Yan Yue next to him didn't do anything when he heard it, "Xiao Lu can 'materialize the power', isn't sweeping a garden a one, two, or three thing?" ”
"What? Will you 'visualize the power'? Steward Ma and the rest of the family also looked at Yu Tianlu in surprise.
"Yes, I did push a little harder." Yu Tianlu replied calmly.
"Hahaha!" Steward Ma and the group of family members immediately laughed back and forth.
"It's a bit too much to brag that you can 'materialize the power' if you ask someone for help!"
"It's like, how could such a young child be able to 'visualize the power'? If you have the ability, you can become one! ”
The family members also laughed at these two children when you said a word and I said a word.
Seeing this, Yan Yue next to him was also very unconvinced, and just wanted to refute a few words, but was stopped by Yu Tianlu raising his hand.
Yu Tianlu glanced at Yan Yue and signaled him to be restless.
"Okay, here's the reward for this time, ten gold coins." Steward Ma also took out a money bag and shook it, took out ten gold coins from it and put it in his palm, "You guys did a really good job this time, and I originally wanted to tip a little more." It's a pity that your cold joke just now is too cold. So forget it. ”
Steward Ma also handed over the gold coin as he spoke.
Who knew that Yu Tianlu did not answer, but stared at Steward Ma with strange eyes, which also made his hair stand on end.
"What's wrong?" Steward Ma was surprised.
"A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way. These are undoubtedly our rewards, but to be so insulted by you, we don't want this money. Yu Tianlu said as he pulled up Yan Yue and was about to leave.
"Ahh Don't you want that? Yan Yue was also a pity to take ten gold coins, and looked back at Steward Ma from time to time.
"You two stop me!" The steward was also a little angry.
Who knew that Yu Tianlu was waiting for Steward Ma's words, and as soon as he took a few steps, he stopped taking advantage of the situation.
"Steward Ma, what else do you have to say?"
"What do you mean, little brother?"
"It's not interesting. I just think that Ma Zhenbei, who is dignified, is a person who judges people by his appearance and has no reputation. ”
"Oh? There are still people in this town who dare to say that about me! I could only hear the hearty laughter of a middle-aged man.
"Ma Zhenbei?" Yu Tianlu hurriedly turned around.
I saw a man of medium height and a thin face coming from outside. And the bodyguards in strong suits behind him are particularly eye-catching.
"Sir!" Seeing Ma Zhenbei coming, Steward Ma also hurriedly ran over to greet him.
Ma Zhenbei waved his hand, looked at the courtyard that had been cleaned up very clean, and almost understood what had happened.
He slowly walked up to Yu Tianlu and Yan Yue, and asked with a smile, "Two little friends, aren't you satisfied with the reward given by our Ma Mansion?" ”
Yu Tianlu glanced at Ma Zhenbei, and said without humility or arrogance: "Master Ma, we were originally quite satisfied with this reward. But give and give, what does it mean to be so sarcastic about the two of us? ”
"Are my men making fun of you?" Ma Zhenbei frowned, looked back at Steward Ma and said, "Ade, people are doing this job very well, why do you want to be sarcastic?" ”
"Master, when did I belittle and ridicule them?" The horse steward also looked a little aggrieved, "You let them talk about it themselves, how can only two children do all the work in just a few hours?" So I asked, by the way, are you looking for an adult to help? ”
"Good fellows, these two little children are not big, but they have a big temper. immediately picked a child, and even didn't want the honorarium. I think if this thing gets out, won't people point fingers behind our backs and say that we are deducting children's wages? So I was just about to stop them, but you're here, sir. ”
"I see!" Ma Zhenbei nodded,
He looked at the pile of cloth bags like a hill, and felt that what Steward Ma said was reasonable.
However, Ma Zhenbei was not as arbitrary as Steward Ma, he thought about it and turned around and asked Yu Tianlu: "This little brother, do you know the 'power of visualization'?" ”
"I told you butler just now. My brother is amazing, and he used the 'power of imagery' to conjure up a very convenient prop and quickly cleaned up the fallen leaves. They don't believe it! Yan Yue grabbed the words and pointed to those family members.
"You kid, don't boast about Haikou." Steward Ma hurriedly said, "I've been working here for decades, and there are not many people in our town who have the 'power of symbolization', let alone such a young child?" ”
"Just because you don't mean my brother doesn't." Yan Yue said, "I said Xiaolu, can you show your hands a little bit!" ”
"Well, this one!" Yu Tianlu thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry, when I just swept the courtyard, I had almost drained the 'power of imagery'. If I were to create it out of thin air, I might not be able to change anything big. ”
"See! I think you're all excuses, but in fact you don't have the ability at all! "Steward Ma is also unrelenting.
Ma Zhenbei looked at Yu Tianlu with a calm face, but a trace of doubt flashed between his eyebrows.
"Little brother, I'm here to ask you!"
