Republic of China small businessman

Master Jiu raised his head, looked at this silly boy, and then at Xie Jing: "I forgot to tell you, I think he is good, and he is coming with your father, and now he is serving by my side."

Bai Mingyu's eyes straightened.

He remembered that during the Chinese New Year, his family members did tell him that they would change their staff, but he was sad at the time and didn't take it to heart at all. Now he was tongue-tied and didn't speak for a long time, just looking at Xie Jing.

Xie Jing tilted his head and took a look at Bai Mingyu's legs. The second young master was on crutches, but he was quite energetic when he jumped up and down.

Fate is big, luck is good.

No bone was hurt at all.

Xie Jing also completely let go of the last concern in his heart. He felt that the second master of the Bai family was indeed a master with great fortune and fate.

Bai Mingyu thought completely differently, he cried for "Feng'er" several times!Especially when he just came back from Heihe, he looked for people all over the world, thinking that "Feng'er" had been hacked to death by knives, and on the day the dead man in Heihe was transported back for burial, the people below stopped him from seeing it, and Bai Mingyu also Don't bear to see such "Feng'er".Now suddenly seeing someone standing in front of him, he almost jumped up to look at him, put his hands on Xie Jing's shoulders and looked back and forth, with tears in his eyes: "You, are you okay?"

Xie Jing was still holding the teapot in his hand, and stood there for him to see: "Thank you, young master, it's fine."

"You, you... where did you go that day? I thought I would never find you again." Bai Mingyu's eyes turned red, "I've been looking for you for a long time, the day was so chaotic, I almost died."

Xie Jing said: "The young master will not die." At least he didn't die there.

Bai Mingyu was very moved, and said "hmm" with a nasal voice, and tried his best to cheer up: "You are right, the young master is going to do something big."

Xie Jing thought to herself, there are still a lot of troubles to come.Bai Mingyu went to the provincial capital with Master Jiu, and then went south. It really caused a lot of troubles, but the second master of the Bai family was kind and eccentric, and turned danger into good luck every time. Quite busy.

Xie Jing looked at him like looking at a mascot.

It is optional, it is better to have.

After all, feel at ease.

Bai Mingyu held back his tears, stared straight at Xie Jing, grabbed his hand and was about to leave: "Feng'er, go back with the young master, the young master burned the things you used before, but don't worry, The young master will buy you new ones, all the best ones!"

Jiuye sat there and coughed.

Xie Jing broke his hand and said, "Master, you are blocking my work."

Bai Mingyu didn't know why, after Xie Jing broke his hand away, he saw Xie Jing carrying the teapot and went to add water to Lord Jiu who was sitting in the main seat.Bai Mingyu followed, limped and refused to sit down, walked around Xie Jing and wanted to take him back, but the older brother at the side tried his best to wink at him to no avail.

Master Jiu took a sip of tea and asked slowly, "How's your homework going?"

Bai Mingyu was still staring at Xie Jing, and said in his mouth: "I have injuries on my body, I have been listening to my master's words to rest in the yard, and I didn't bother to read a few pages of books."

Bai Mingzhe panicked with embarrassment on his face. Before Master Jiu could speak, he bluffed his face and taught his younger brother: "Nonsense, you hurt your feet, what's hindering your reading! Do you read with your feet?!"

"No, but I just got a bone, and my legs and feet hurt badly at night. If I can't sleep well, I won't be able to see it the next day..." Bai Mingyu reached out to grab Xie Jing while talking, "Brother, Grandpa Ninth , can you please give me back my companionship? I am used to studying with him, and the two of us also have a companion." He said pitifully, holding on to Xie Jing, and he seemed to have a deep affection for his master and servant .

Master Jiu looked up at Xie Jing, then turned his gaze back to him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "You learned the same as him?"

Bai Mingyu said: "It's not all, hey, Grandpa Ninth, why are you asking these things, Feng'er didn't even go to the apprentice room, and he doesn't know a few big characters, so he definitely can't serve you. Bring it to you!"

"Oh, are you literate?" Master Jiu turned to Xie Jing and asked.

Xie Jing: "Literacy, the young master usually..."

"Hey, hey, I admit that I taught him a few words. It's usually too boring to study alone. I taught him a little bit casually, and it's still shallow. Why don't I take it back and lay a little foundation. After teaching him, I will give it to the nine. Grandpa, bring it here." Bai Mingyu changed his words immediately, and glared at him, "Feng'er, what are you doing so stupidly, why don't you go with the young master!"

Xie Jing stood there and said, "Second Young Master, my name is Xie Jing."

Bai Mingyu: "..."

Bai Mingyu: "Okay, okay, Xie Jing, thank you, come back with me."

"If I don't leave, I will follow Master Jiu from now on."

"no!"

Xie Jing didn't speak, but looked up at Lord Jiu who was sitting in the main seat.

Bai Rongjiu raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that the books you copied before were borrowed from other people's hands, you can't be lazy in reading, you go back and copy these again and send them to me."

As if struck by lightning, Bai Mingyu looked at Xie Jing in disbelief, with the words "You even said that?!" written on his face.

Xie Jing stood there pretending to be an honest child, her eyes didn't look around at all, she was very well behaved.

Bai Mingyu leaned over and gritted his teeth with hatred, and whispered: "Aren't we the best!"

"It's not very good. The young master didn't study hard, and the people around him were beaten a lot."

"..."

The little overlord of the Bai family has been in Qinghe County for more than ten years. This is the first time in his life that he has personally experienced what is called betrayal, and he feels quite uncomfortable.

Bai Mingyu didn't dare to disobey Master Nine, if he didn't find anyone, he had no choice but to leave.

When I got back to my yard, I saw a boy coming happily and said: "Master, didn't you look for Kou Peifeng? I found it! Butler Zhou has been assigned to the apprentice room, you wait, I have sent someone to call Kou Peifeng, and I will bring it to you right away!"

While speaking, an apprentice was brought to him. He was a little taller, and he was also stupid. He stood there wearing a felt hat and called out "Second Young Master".

Bai Mingyu was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger, he was so angry: "What kind of Kou Peifeng is this?!"

"Huh? But his name is Kou Peifeng..."

"Fuck off, you can't even find someone, what's the use of you! Get out, get out!!"

A few people ran away in a hurry, but the second young master got angry but had a violent temper. When he couldn't walk, he used crutches to drag himself forward, and when he was in a hurry, he could use crutches to turn others around. The young man was angry.

Soon after the year, it is the Lantern Festival.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Xie Jing took half a day off, went home to have a meal with Grandma Kou, and delivered some things.

Bai Rongjiu gave him a small box and told him to open it after he got home.

Xie Jing just thought it was something delicious and fun, and carried it back in her arms.

When I got home and opened the box after dinner, I found a piece of deed paper inside.

The deed written by Kou Laosan was a bit harsh. It said how to be an apprentice for three years and then leave the teacher, etc. It basically tied people to death in one place, but just like this, it was also a good job to be squeezed out. After all, to enter the White Mansion, one needs a middleman as a guarantee, and ordinary people have no way at all.But now Master Jiu returned the deed paper to him. Under the box, there is a newly drafted contract with much looser conditions. It looks like an employment contract for an employee of a big company like Shanghai Stock Exchange. It is signed once a year , give money on a monthly basis.

Grandma Kou is illiterate, so Xie Jing was very happy after reading it once, "It's all right now, I was worried about you before, but now I don't have anything to worry about. The Bai family is good. Jing'er will sign for a year first."

Xie Jing nodded in agreement, and wrote her name correctly on the contract.

After he finished writing, he couldn't help changing it, but the ink turned into a black spot, not as good as before.Xie Jing panicked, stretched her hand halfway and then stopped, rubbing the tip of her nose instead, and sighed helplessly.He used to think that his handwriting was not bad, but after comparing with Master Jiu, he found that his handwriting was still far behind. He hadn't even learned the fur of Master Jiu.

But this time is still a long time, he still has decades to practice calligraphy with Master Jiu.

Xie Jing dried up the contract, carefully put it back into the box, kept it as it was, and handed it to Master Jiu when he went back.

Grandma Kou made him a bowl of fermented rice and brought it over for him to digest. It's warm.

Xie Jing put the empty bowl on the small table and looked around: "Grandma, we have money now, why don't we change houses?"

"Alright, this place is far away from you. I will rent a house closer to you in a few days, and it will be convenient to visit you then." Grandma Kou took Xie Jing's bowl while talking, and asked, "Have another drink." Is it a bowl, I see that you don't eat much at night, and you didn't even eat two pancakes."

Xie Jing nodded and said with a smile: "Grandma cooks a lot, and every dish is delicious, so I'm patronizing to eat."

Grandma Kou liked to hear this, so she smiled and went to fill him with wine.

Xie Jing is not on duty at night, so she can go back later without delaying her work tomorrow morning, so she stays at home with Grandma Kou for a while. She didn't rush him to leave the carriage, and she thought too hard, after all, she was a child raised by herself since she was a child, and she missed it even if she couldn't see her for a day.

The grandparents and grandson were talking in the house, when they heard someone calling his name several times from the wooden door outside, the last one was slightly higher, and the voice sounded extraordinarily thin like a little girl, shouting urgently: "...Jing, thank you Jing!"

Xie Jing went out wearing a thick cotton robe. It was pitch black and he couldn't see who it was. He stood at the door and said loudly: "Who?"

"It's me, don't yell, don't yell, I ran out without telling the master of the theatrical troupe... Can you open the door? I'm only wearing a single coat, it's very cold!" The people outside were jumping back and forth in the cold, their voices Trembling and begging him there.

Xie Jing opened the door a little, but before it was fully opened, he saw a boy in a white jacket and trousers rushing in. There was still unfinished oily makeup on his face, white patches and red patches, which he saw unexpectedly at night And a little scary.

Xie Jing asked, "Little Lizi?"

"Hey, it's me!"

Xie Jing stared at him for a while, and after confirming, took him to the house.

He recognized that this was the little Lizi from the troupe who often sneaked out to look for him, but Xie Jing was no longer that familiar with this childhood playmate. When he came back again, many memories of the past could no longer be clearly remembered. I vaguely remembered that this person was timid and fearful, especially afraid of being beaten. The master in the troupe walked over from a distance, and immediately jumped up and ran away like a rabbit in fright.

In addition, it is the three copper plates.

When he woke up years ago, he was robbed of silver dollars and injured his head. It was Xiao Lizi who gave him three copper coins, so he bought that sesame seed cake for Grandma Kou.

The author has something to say:

small theater:

Xie Jing (insipid): He is Kou Peifeng.

Bai Mingyu (turning into anger from embarrassment): I believe you a ghost!You stinking Xie Jing is very bad if you don't tell the truth all day long! !
