Republic of China small businessman

From the next room came the sound of cups being dropped on the floor.

Overheard by Bai Jiuye, he called Xie Jing's name.

This time the response was a bit vague, and he said something vaguely, but he couldn't hear clearly through the partition wall.

Master Jiu frowned, got up, took his outer robe and put it on, went straight to the next door, pushed open the paper door and saw Xie Jing holding a bottle of rice wine poured into the pool water, with his upper body lying on the bank and submerged in it from the waist down.There was mist on the water, the boy's clothes were drenched, water dripped from the tips of his black hair, and his face was slightly red with drunkenness.

Master Jiu was afraid that something would happen to him, so he stepped forward to pick him up and brought him to the shore, wrapped him in dry clothes, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Jing shook her head, holding the wine bottle and hid in his arms.

Master Jiu took away the bottle in his hand, and in exchange for Xie Jing's "uh", he seemed to want to reach out for it, but Master Jiu held it down and said, "You don't drink well, so don't be greedy, especially if you are in a hot spring." Time, if something happens when you get drunk..."

Xie Jing buried her head in his arms, arched twice slightly, and opened her mouth to bite the mother-of-pearl button on his collar.

Master Jiu took a breath.

He held Xie Jing's arm tightly, looked down at him, and said hoarsely: "Jing'er, don't mess around."

Xie Jing's face was flushed, and his eyes were a little distracted. He looked at him with his button in his mouth, slightly tilted his head with an indescribable grievance, and snorted in a nasal voice: "Master, I feel bad."

Master Jiu reached out to touch his cheek, tested the temperature, and felt that something was wrong. Just as he was about to call the doctor over, Xie Jing hugged him by the waist and buried his head for a while.Drunk people are unreasonable, but they have a lot of brute force. Master Jiu managed to restrain the other party, but soon noticed something strange - the place attached to his leg was scorching and moving, which could not be ignored.

"Father, I feel bad."

Saying so, he rubbed a few more times, the amplitude was very slight, as if it was all instinctive but out of control.

The tips of Xie Jing's ears were red, her lips were also bitten red, and the button she was holding was so wet that she couldn't see it anymore.

Master Jiu heard him say "I'm sick, I'm sick", and he could only say these two sentences over and over again, coaxing him to let go, but he refused to let go no matter what, like a baby bird seeking help from the closest people.

Master Jiu had no choice but to wrap him in a dry blanket, carried him to his room.

Someone brought fruit over on the road, and stood aside with a plate of fruit, bowing his head and not daring to make a sound, not daring to ask a word.

Most of the people in this house on the mountain are the ones that Cao Yunzhao used before. Although Mr. Cao has some flamboyant names outside, he has never used force, nor has he carried a person wrapped in a blanket to the bedroom in the daytime in the yard. deliver.

Master Jiu entered the bedroom, but after a while he called for someone again, scolding in a deep voice: "Those who don't have long eyes, hurry up and call the doctor!"

Someone outside agreed, and trotted to call the doctor.

It only takes an hour to go from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. If riding a fast horse can shorten the time by half, when the guards hear the news, they will think that something serious happened to Master Jiu, and Zhang Huwei will go there in person immediately.Before he could get on his horse, someone came from the yard again, panting, "Master, I called you over, saying that the yard will be closed and no one will be allowed to run out!"

Zhang Huwei asked a trusted aide beside him to invite the doctor, and while giving the other party a whip to urge him to go quickly, he asked in a deep voice, "Why is the yard closed, and what happened?"

The other party shook his head: "I don't know either. The master was having a good bath just now, but he got angry after a while. The people who served here before the Cao family knelt down in the yard, and they haven't let them up yet."

Zhang Huwei got the order and repeatedly ordered the courtyard to be closed, with a solemn expression.

There used to be a doctor in the small courtyard of the Cao family, who knew some injuries from bruises. The servants of the Cao family also wanted to please the new owner. When they heard that they wanted a doctor, they immediately sent this doctor over, but they just opened a door. Before he could see what was going on inside, he was thrown a paperweight and scolded out.

The curtains in the room were all drawn, and it was too dark to see a single movement.

There were about ten people kneeling in the yard, all of them were servants of the Cao family.

In the bedroom, I ordered two basins of cold water and a few handkerchiefs.

It was quiet for a while after that.

After more than half an hour, Master Jiu opened the door and came out.

His complexion was still not very good, his face was sinking like water, with one hand behind his back, he raised his eyes to see everyone in the yard sweeping past them one by one, and asked, "Who is it that sent tea and rice wine to the bathing pool today?"

Many people in the yard were shaking their heads. The Cao family is a new rich family, far less disciplined than the Bai family. When something happens, it is inevitable to be a little flustered. It took a while to push a person out, who is the steward of the kitchen.The man in the kitchen turned pale, he shook his hands and bowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Return, if you return to Master Bai, the little one is in charge, but I didn't prepare the things, it was made by a girl under the kitchen..."

One by one, when the girl in the kitchen was arrested for questioning, the other party did not deny it, but just looked forward with both eyes, and asked with a little expectation: "Did Mr. Cao come today? I saw There is still someone in the car, it must be him, right?"

Master Jiu closed his eyes and cursed Cao Yunzhao in his heart.

That girl refused to believe that Cao Yunzhao was going to study abroad, she was a little hysterical, she was talking about making refreshments for Mr. Cao, and embroidering mandarin ducks as pillows for him, saying that it was agreed before.

The people in charge of the yard couldn't stand it anymore, stood up and reprimanded: "What nonsense are you talking about, when did Mr. Cao make an appointment with you, he has never seen you twice, and he doesn't even know your name! "

The girl stared blankly at him, then suddenly stepped forward and pulled the other's clothes and cried, "You lied to me, you all lied to me!"

While they were tearing apart, the guards rushed into the inner courtyard on horseback, got off their horses, reached out and grabbed a doctor with a gray beard and came down together, almost carrying them to the front of Master Jiu: "Master, the doctor is here!"

Master Jiu ordered people to deal with these matters of the Cao family, and only brought the doctor into the bedroom.

The bedroom was dim, and there was a faint smell of heather flowers, and the smell was very faint.

The doctor was older, so he didn't notice it, and when he approached the bed, he saw a boy wrapped in a thin quilt.

Looking at the age of fifteen or sixteen, I can't see clearly, lying there short of breath, there are some red marks on most of the exposed arms, maybe because of fair skin, dotted with stars, it looks more serious.

The doctor lifted the window curtain and took a look, then put it down immediately, not daring to look at the righteous master in front of him, he murmured for a long time: "The old man is just a sitting doctor, he doesn't understand these, cough, in the room... technique. "

Master Jiu raised his eyebrows, "I just want you to see if he is in good health now, but he ate something bad before, he is extremely important to me, not as bad as you think."

The doctor just wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned to show Xie Jing a look.

There were only a few red marks on Xie Jing's body, and there were occasional scratches, which were rubbed by herself, but her body was still hot, her consciousness was not much left, and her lower lip was red from biting.

After feeling the pulse for a while, the doctor got up and said: "Young master in the mansion is fine, but he accidentally drank some medicinal wine for fun. The prescription is strong, but it won't hurt too much. It will be fine after a while."

Master Jiu asked, "Just let him lie down like this?"

The doctor said: "If it is convenient, you can find someone to help you."

What he said was already very cryptic. Among the teenagers in the provincial government today, there are a lot of teenagers who are engaged, and there are also a lot of fathers who are under [-]. This age happens to be a sensible age, and the doctor is not surprised by it, and is used to it .Especially for rich families, the girl wants to climb the bed, or the young master is more flirtatious, there are all those who become fathers at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

The person on the bed grunted, as if in some pain.

Master Jiu looked up for a moment, then turned to the doctor and said, "If you don't find someone, what else can you do?"

"Rinse with cold water, or feed more water, induce vomiting, and if it doesn't work, just make a decoction, and you can always get through."

"Mr. Trouble you to make the medicine."

The doctor promised, and was about to go out with the medicine box on his back, when suddenly he heard the man behind him say again: "The money will be sent to Mr.'s house later, please keep today's matter a secret."

The doctor was just temporarily invited from the small town at the foot of the mountain. As soon as he entered the courtyard halfway up the mountain, he knew that the master's family was either rich or expensive.

Master Jiu heard the footsteps walking away, the door closed again with a "squeak", and only the two of them were left in the bedroom again.

The person on the bed had only vented once.

Jiu Ye stood by the bed, rubbing the thumb of the hand behind his back to the other fingertips.

He still has marks of Xie Jing biting in a hurry just now, a ring of teeth marks on his hand, like a puppy.

Seems to be aware that there is no outsider in the room, and the voice of squatting there is also nasal, revealing grievances, and whispered to the Lord.

Master Jiu lifted the gauze curtain, bent down and called his name, Xie Jing recognized his voice, turned around to look for him, his eyes were foggy, and his eyelashes were wet, but he didn't know it was wet from the sweat dripping from his forehead , or something else.Searching for a moment like a baby bird, trying to touch his sleeve, Master Jiu stretched out his fingers for him to hold, and asked in a low voice: "Is it better?"

Xie Jing snorted.

Master Jiu looked at him for a moment, his eyes dimmed, and he stretched out his fingers to touch his lips. Xie Jing held his fingertips in his mouth, but didn't dare to bite down, so he just held it.

Master Jiu asked him: "Does Jing'er know who I am?"

Xie Jing nodded slightly, stretched out her arms to hug him, her voice was hoarse: "Master, I feel bad...I won't."

Master Jiu stroked the top of his hair lightly, and when his fingers touched his ears, he paused for a moment, "You did a good job just now."

"That's why I'm comfortable with my grandfather. I don't know how to do it myself."

"Why not? I've taught you once, and you have to come by yourself in the future. Don't tell me you have to come to me every time?" Master Jiu pinched the tips of his ears, and said in a cold voice, "You have no one to teach you, so I will teach you, but in the future There will be other people doing nice things with you."

Xie Jing shook her head, unable to speak clearly.

Master Jiu raised his chin and looked down at him condescendingly, only to see that the young man's face was flushed, and his body also began to turn red. It was already another burst of medicine taking effect.

"Jing'er, come by yourself."

"Father..."

"Don't be so squeamish, how did I teach you just now, do it yourself."

Xie Jing bit her lip, slowly withdrew her holding hand, and retracted herself into the thin quilt.

There were rustling sounds from inside the quilt, and one could vaguely see the person hiding inside trembling slightly, and a small beast-like grunt came out of his throat, the sound was not loud, but it was enough to seduce people.

Jiu Ye stood by the bed and watched him.

Looking at a boy who is like a piece of white paper, it is gradually stained with color.

She obviously doesn't understand anything, holding him to please her instinctively, she is clumsy and lovable.

The sound in the quilt stopped.

There was a hoarseness in Jiuye's voice that he didn't even notice: "Okay?"

Xie Jing poked her head out and saw that she was not much better than before, the corners of her eyes were red, she looked like a puppy being abused by its master.

He just kept looking at him, his eyelashes were wet, a tear was about to freeze, but there was still stubbornness on his small face, and he didn't say a word.

It wasn't until Master Jiu sighed and sat on the edge of the bed that Xie Jing whimpered and reached out to hug him.

Master Jiu's hand was held together with his, and he taught him slowly and carefully.

Teach him to do things.

Teach him to grow up.
