When the sound of knocking on the door reached the courtyard, Chu Qinghe, who had just rolled up his sleeves in the kitchen, turned his head and glanced at the door before saying to Qu Feiyan: "The shopping should have arrived, go and open the door."
Qu Feiyan asked: "Sir, what did you buy again?"
Chu Qinghe said quietly: "Hot pot and barbecue rack."
Qu Feiyan looked confused and said: "What?"
Regarding Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe said angrily: "Why do you ask so many questions? You will know when you use it at night. Hurry up and open the door."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan curled his lips and moved outside using his Qinggong movement.
"Master!"
A moment later, when Chu Qinghe was just starting to knead the noodles, Qu Feiyan's voice came from outside.
Hearing Qu Feiyan's voice, Chu Qinghe took back his flour-covered hands in confusion and walked outside.
When he stepped out of the kitchen and looked at Xiao Zhao who was following Qu Feiyan, Chu Qinghe was also slightly stunned.
"Hey, why is this girl back?"
As he entered the courtyard, Xiao Zhao immediately bowed and said, "Xiao Zhao has met the young master."
After nodding lightly, Chu Qinghe said, "Is there anything else, Miss Xiao Zhao?"
Facing Chu Qinghe's question, Xiao Zhao took a few steps forward and picked up a package in his hand.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to him, curiously took the package and opened it, only to find that it contained a hundred taels of gold.
At the same time, Xiao Zhao said: "Tian Boguang has done many evil things, and there is also a reward in the court. The young master has no way to repay his kindness, so Xiao Zhao can only offer this reward to express his gratitude."
Hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Is that guy still worth so much money?"
"Cuckoo"
However, at this moment, a sound suddenly came from Xiao Zhao's stomach.
Upon noticing the sound, Xiao Zhao immediately covered his stomach, and his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at Xiao Zhao who was holding his stomach at this moment, Qu Feiyan said in shock: "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Xiao Zhao said softly, "Yeah" and said, "When I was stunned by Tian Boguang, I lost my money bag."
Qu Feiyan glanced at the hundred taels of gold in his hand, and then asked curiously: "Don't you know how to take the bounty to eat something?"
Xiao Zhao shook his head and said: "You were the one who killed Tian Boguang himself, and the bounty is naturally yours too. It's inappropriate for me to touch him."
Listening to Xiao Zhao's explanation, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zhao.
"Quite silly!"
Not to mention Chu Qinghe, even Qu Feiyan looked at Xiao Zhao as if he were a fool.
After a few breaths, Qu Feiyan asked: "Then Tian Boguang should have brought money with him when he went out. Why didn't you search his money?"
Xiao Zhao explained: "Xiao Zhao searched it, but found that the silver and copper plates in the wallet were all broken into powder."
At this time, Qu Feiyan and Chu Qinghe also remembered what Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue did to Tian Boguang's body last night.
After understanding the reason, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said: "It's time to have lunch later. If Miss Xiao Zhao doesn't mind, let's have a simple meal at home!"
After listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Xiao Zhao waved his hand and said, "No."
But just as the first word was spoken, Xiao Zhao's stomach made another "Gulu" sound.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan rolled his eyes, then took Xiao Zhao's hand and walked towards the kitchen.
Seeing the two women entering the kitchen, Chu Qinghe glanced at the empty stone bench under the camellia tree, shook his head slightly and walked towards the kitchen.
When he entered the kitchen, Qu Feiyan had already put some dried fruits he bought before into Xiao Zhao's hands.
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was still a little embarrassed, Qu Feiyan directly stuffed an osmanthus cake into Xiao Zhao's mouth.
It feels a bit like a big sister.
Seeing Qu Feiyan like this, Chu Qinghe also smiled softly, and then walked to the table to continue kneading noodles.
Perhaps because of Chu Qinghe's entry, Xiao Zhao stepped forward to help after taking a few simple bites.
After putting the noodles in a wooden basin and covering them to wake up, Chu Qinghe walked out of the yard after washing his hands.
When they walked out, they saw that Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue had returned.
As in the past, the fluctuations of Qi in the two women's bodies have not yet completely calmed down.
And looking at Dongfang Bubai's leisurely drinking style and Yao Yue's dull expression, Chu Qinghe clearly knew the outcome of this battle.
After Chu Qinghe sat down, Dongfang Bubai glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Guest?"
Chu Qinghe picked up the wine glass and said quietly: "That Xiao Zhao last night."
Dongfang Bubai asked in confusion: "What is she here for?"
Chu Qinghe shrugged and briefly explained the matter.
After learning the reason for the incident, Yao Yue nodded and said, "It's sincere."
So literate people speak differently.
It was obviously stupid, but when it came to Yaoyue's mouth, it turned into sincerity.
There was still a while before dinner, Chu Qinghe also got up and entered the room, took out the gold playing cards he had made before, and started fighting with the two women about the landlord in the yard.
Anyway, now both women have red envelopes, so they have nothing to do, so it’s better to collect some first and bring back some.
Sometimes the sound of firecrackers came from outside, and sometimes a few petals were overwhelmed by the snow and fell from the air.
The aroma of food and the smell of firewood gradually began to spread from the kitchen.
Perhaps it was because of the recognition of his life that Xiao Zhao was obviously a little reserved during lunch.
During the process, Qu Feiyan still picked up food for Xiao Zhao from time to time.
After the meal, while the others were cleaning up in the kitchen, Qu Feiyan suddenly pulled Xiao Zhao out of the kitchen and approached Chu Qinghe.
When he walked in front of Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao still lowered his head, his expression obviously a bit cautious and worried.
Qu Feiyan, on the other hand, let go of Xiao Zhao's hand and squatted next to Chu Qinghe, looking at Chu Qinghe eagerly, with a smile that was so sweet that it was almost boring.
Clever.
Faced with Qu Feiyan's behavior, Chu Qinghe said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan said carefully: "Master, do you think that I am the only maid in the house, and I spend too much time cleaning every day, and I spend a lot less time practicing every day."
Listening to this, how could Chu Qinghe not understand what Qu Feiyan meant?
Then, as if he was worried that Chu Qinghe would not agree, Qu Feiyan said again: "And Xiao Zhao is very pitiful. He has no relatives at home. He has a biological mother who still doesn't want him, so he is lonely and helpless. Otherwise Will the young master keep her here too?"
While talking, Qu Feiyan pulled Xiao Zhao over.
However, facing Chu Qinghe's gaze, Xiao Zhao did not dare to raise his head.
After thinking for a while, Chu Qinghe looked at Xiao Zhao and asked, "What do you think, Miss Xiao Zhao?"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's inquiry, Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment and then whispered: "Xiao Zhao has nothing to repay the young master for saving his life. If the young master is willing, Xiao Zhao is willing to stay with the young master to repay the young master's great kindness."
In response, Chu Qinghe shrugged and said, "So be it!"
Qu Feiyan's face lit up and he said, "Sir, do you agree?"
Chu Qinghe responded with a lazy "hmm".
After getting the confirmation from Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao's face on the side also showed obvious joy.
"Thank you, sir."
After giving a slight nod, Qu Feiyan pulled Xiao Zhao back to the kitchen.
A moment later, as Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue came out of the kitchen, listening to the faint laughter coming from the kitchen, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Chu Qinghe and said: "That Xiao Zhao, you don't even know the details at all. Just let her stay like this?"
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "That girl Feiyan has already spoken. Is it possible to refuse directly?"
After saying that, after a pause, Chu Qinghe continued: "What's more, that girl is not very old. Xiao Zhao is about the same age as her, so she can be a companion. Otherwise, she will be tormented by the two of you all day long. , then Nizi probably won’t be able to bear it either.”
After all, Qu Feiyan was not very old. Although he was smart and smart, he was a little cautious and worried in front of Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
He was usually trained by Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
Now that she has a peer with a similar age, it is a good thing for Na Nizi.
What's more, this new maid has twin tails!
After making sure that the other party has no bad intentions, who can refuse a cute, well-behaved and sensible maid with twin ponytails?
Regarding the explanation given by Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai said softly: "You are quite good to this girl."
Chu Qinghe shrugged his shoulders.
After Qu Feiyan took Xiao Zhao to choose a house, the little girl couldn't wait to take Xiao Zhao to the street to buy things.
After the two ladies came back with a bunch of things, Chu Qinghe, who had finished playing a handful of cards, said, "We'll play later!" After Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue were confused, he stood up and entered the kitchen.
After a while, some obvious noises were heard from the kitchen.
Smelling the smoke of fireworks wafting from the kitchen, Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue's doubts only increased.
When Qu Feiyan also noticed something strange in the kitchen, he happened to see Chu Qinghe walking out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.
Glancing at Qu Feiyan who was standing at Xiaozhao's door, Chu Qinghe said quietly: "Just in time, come and eat."
After Qu Feiyan sat down, Chu Qinghe pushed the freshly cooked noodles in front of Qu Feiyan.
Glancing at the bowl of noodles in front of Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai raised his eyebrows and said, "Longevity Noodles, is today your birthday?"
Facing Dongfang Bubai's question, Qu Feiyan nodded first, then looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "But how did you know that today is my birthday, Master?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily: "Didn't your birth date be written on the receipt on the first day you came here? Don't say that the birth date was written blindly."
Qu Feiyan raised his head and said, "How could it be? I just didn't expect you would remember it, sir."
Chu Qinghe said lightly: "It won't taste good when it's cold, so eat it quickly!"
Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan nodded, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
It was also when Qu Feiyan finished the noodles and returned to the kitchen. Looking at Qu Feiyan with a cheerful expression, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but said softly: "Young Master is really kind to you."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan said proudly: "That's right!"
Finally, looking at Xiao Zhao with an envious expression on his side, Qu Feiyan smiled and said, "Don't worry! The young master is a very good person. You will know it as time goes by."
Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, and when he turned his head to look at the courtyard, there was a little more expectation in his eyes.
However, after a few breaths, the anticipation in Xiao Zhao's eyes became a little more worried.
In the courtyard, while Yaoyue was shuffling the cards, Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe: "No wonder you are so spoiled to this girl today. It turns out to be because of her birthday."
Chu Qinghe said in a lazy voice: "It's a birthday once a year after all!"
Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "This girl is lucky to be by your side."
In response, Chu Qinghe smiled noncommittally.
Yao Yue on the side looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "I didn't expect you to be good at cooking."
Chu Qinghe said softly: "If you've been alone for a long time, some things will come naturally."
It's definitely unrealistic to be exposed to the sun for several days with heavy snow.
Fortunately, there is mahjong, and now the girls of Dongfang Bubai are very interested in this mahjong.
Therefore, after the little girl came out, the five people gathered around the table under the tree.
"Five cakes"
"Bang!"
"Seventy thousand"
"Bang!"
"Twenty thousand."
"Hu"
"Hu"
Looking at the hands stretched out by Qu Feiyan and Dongfang Bubai in front of him, Chu Qinghe, who had successfully fired two shots, also had doubts on his face.
In half an hour, Chu Qinghe lost as many times as he fought.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe still had the momentum to kill everyone last night.
In this regard, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but wonder if his luck was affected because he sealed a few red envelopes so early in the morning?
After all, Mahjong itself has a strong metaphysical meaning.
If something bad happens, no one can save it.
After lighting a stick of incense, and then lighting a double shot again, Chu Qinghe's expression slightly condensed.
"No, bad luck today."
Later, while shuffling the cards, Chu Qinghe was also thinking about the solution at this time.
After a moment, Chu Qinghe's eyes quickly focused on Xiao Zhao next to Qu Feiyan.
After pondering for a few breaths, Chu Qinghe waved to Xiao Zhao.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's signal, Xiao Zhao walked up to Chu Qinghe with a puzzled look.
After asking Xiao Zhao to squat down a little, Chu Qinghe raised his hand and touched Xiao Zhao's head.
There is a way for fools to be blessed.
Judging from Xiao Zhao's performance today, he doesn't look very smart at first glance.
My luck is running low now, let's see if I can get some luck from Xiao Zhao.
Faced with Chu Qinghe's intimate behavior at this time, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but be startled.
Qu Feiyan on the side couldn't help but ask: "Master, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said vaguely: "It's nothing, I just think Xiao Zhao looks cute."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe started rolling the dice.
And when the mahjong was finished, Chu Qinghe's eyes lit up when he looked at the ten thousand characters in front of him.
"Hey, it's really useful."
At this moment, Chu Qinghe found that his new maid seemed a little unusual.
After a while, after touching himself three times, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but take a deep look at Xiao Zhao.
When his eyes fell on the innocent-looking Xiao Zhao, an idea suddenly appeared in Chu Qinghe's mind.
"If I get some luck from this silly girl when I sign in next time, will the value of the things I get be higher?"
Thinking of this, when Chu Qinghe looked at Xiao Zhao, his eyes suddenly changed.
The more I looked at her, the more I found this new maid to be pleasing to my eyes.
What a mascot!
Thinking of this, Chu Qinghe stood up without saying a word, then moved a chair and placed it next to him.
"Come, sit next to me."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Xiao Zhao nodded blankly, and then sat next to Chu Qinghe as Chu Qinghe said.
Confused, confused, but well-behaved.
This silly and inexplicably cute look made Chu Qinghe couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch Xiao Zhao's little face that still had some baby fat.
Feeling the touch on his hand, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but nodded and thought to himself.
"Yeah! It feels pretty good."
Chu Qinghe's weird behavior made Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue and Qu Feiyan puzzled. They couldn't figure out what Chu Qinghe was doing.
However, half an hour later, as the money in the three women's wallets became less and less, the expressions of the three women gradually began to change from sunny to gloomy.
After putting the money in Chu Qinghe's hands again, Yao Yue, who reacted the fastest, looked at the smiling Chu Qinghe and couldn't help but frown.
Later, after Yao Yue recalled the process of Chu Qinghe's luck turning from bad to prosperous in her mind, her eyes suddenly locked on Xiao Zhao next to Chu Qinghe, her eyes a little more thoughtful.
After pondering for a few breaths, under the gazes of several other people, Yao Yue slowly stood up and walked to Xiao Zhao.
Immediately afterwards, amid the doubts of Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan, and the "thump" in Chu Qinghe's heart, he tentatively raised a hand and touched Xiao Zhao's head.
When Yao Yue took her hand back, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but raise her hand and touch her head, as if to check if there was something on her head.
Here, looking at Yao Yue who had returned to her position at this time, Chu Qinghe narrowed his eyes and secretly felt a warning sign in his heart.
Half a quarter of an hour later, as Yao Yue successfully touched herself three times, Yao Yue couldn't help but turn her head and look at Xiao Zhao.
I actually think this little girl looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
On the contrary, Chu Qinghe suddenly felt something in his heart at this moment.
"Oops, I can't hide it anymore."
Sure enough, seeing Yaoyue touching herself, Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan also reacted and realized something was wrong.
Afterwards, the two women also walked up to Xiao Zhao and started to do it.
Qu Feiyan, in particular, not only touched Xiao Zhao's head, but also went too far and moved his face up to rub Xiao Zhao's face.
Half an hour later, as the silver coins continued to be spit out, Chu Qinghe let out a long sigh in his heart when he looked at Xiao Zhao, who was temporarily detained next to Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue with a well-behaved face.
"Well, the mascot was snatched away, and my luck is gone."
At this moment, looking at Xiao Zhao who was abducted, Chu Qinghe suddenly felt a little sad.
