Yan Fei

Chapter 11

A child with a dirty face stood on the ridge of the field, expressionlessly following a farmer who was bending over to work.

"Master, go back, if the master sees us later, we will be scolded." The farmer looked at the sky with a sad face, and turned around to persuade the little ancestor.

Taking a closer look, this kid is clearly well dressed, not something a farm boy can afford.

He shook his head and said, "They're going to go shopping on Long Street, I don't want to go."

"Long Street? Isn't that very good." The farmer touched his sweat and called out to a girl who looked like a maid who hurried to the field, "The young master is here! Take it back to Aunt Li!"

The servant girl was startled, and hurried down to the field, and brought the young master back with a face full of disgust.

Aunt Li is the servant who takes care of him, she is getting old, if she gets angry, she will definitely get sick, the young master has no choice but to go back.

The servant girl led him into a mansion——the gate of the mansion was made of vermilion lacquer, and there were two stone lions on both sides.

The Chi family is a big family in West County, and they control almost all the resources and contacts in Wutong Mansion.There are also quite a few members of the Chi family, and there are no less than five branches in the family alone. They took some trivial jobs from the head of the family and helped them take care of the affairs.

And the child who had to follow behind to watch the farming was Chi Shu, the eldest son of the Patriarch of the Chi family.The child Chi Shu was born in less than a month. He has been physically weak since he was a child, and he has lived to this day with all kinds of supplements.However, when he grew up, the child didn't care at all that he almost went to the gate of hell to die, and kept running around, causing the mistress of the Chi family to turn gray at the temples.

Aunt Li washed Chi Shu's face, changed his clothes, and took him to the courtyard.

Standing in the courtyard were his mother and his cousin Chi Funen, who had been at odds with him since he was a child.Chi Shun is the daughter of Chi Shu's aunt.Although it is a side branch, it is still a member of the big family of the Chi family, so Chi Youyuan's father is the son-in-law of the married couple, so Chi Youyuan's surname is Chi.

Chi has been spoiled by his parents, clothed in fine clothes, and raised in a beautiful quilt. Every time he sees Chi Shu's beggar appearance, he will laugh at him, so that even though the two are grown up, they still meet each other. just noisy.

"Hmph, you poor boy is finally willing to come back? Where are you?"

"I'm sorry to trouble my sister, I put it in your yard, but I didn't see the feed, did it come?" Chi Shu said without changing his face.

"Okay!" Chi Shu's mother reprimanded softly, "Go shopping on the long street today, mother will not look at you two, don't leave the servants behind, I will make mother worry."

Chi Shu and Chi responded with grunts and chirps, and followed them outside.There were already two carriages parked in front of Chifu's gate, because the rule of Chifu was that men and women were not allowed to ride in the same carriage, and Chi Shu was too big, so Chi Shu and his mother and Chi had to sit separately.

Long Street is the busiest place in that area, although there are many people, but fortunately the yamen is also doing practical things, so his mother Chi Shu doesn't have to worry about it.

The compartment of the carriage is not small, with cushions inside, and a small table near the window. One side of the compartment is a row of storage compartments, which contain snacks and story books.But Chi Shu was not interested in any of these.

He took out a book of Art of War from his pocket and read it silently.Although it may seem that you don't understand it, it's better than knowing nothing.

By the time he got off the carriage, he had already read almost half of the Art of War book.

Chi Yiyuan ignored him, and ran around with his hips crossed.Chi Shu sighed and followed his troublesome cousin.Although Chi Wan pretended to be fearless, she was very easy to get lost.Chi Shu didn't want to see his mother in a hurry.

Chi Wanwan likes to watch people dance, and it just so happened that a dance team came to Miling Township on the long street recently, and they would perform on stage from time to time.Since they were not sure about the time, Chi Yiong simply went to Miling Township to wait.However, this store in Miling Township, you can tell just by the name, it is naturally a romantic place, when Chi Shu entered with his face covered, he had a disheveled face and wanted to kill his cousin, who was causing trouble, to death.

Miling Township is a huge brothel, there are not only girls but also young men.Chi Yue sat down on a wooden chair, squeezed a handful of melon seeds, and looked at the young men opposite.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Chi Shu had been staring at her, and seeing that she hadn't responded for a long time, he followed her gaze - there was a ragged child there, who looked older than him.Holding a guqin that was much taller than him, he looked around in panic, and was finally pushed by the old bustard in Miling Township and sent to the stage.

He choked for a while, got slapped by the bustard, and fell silent, kneeling on the soft cushion with red eyes, with the guqin across his knees.

Although not very happy, he changed his hands and put his hands on the strings.The moment he plucked the strings, Chi Shu was in a daze, feeling as if he was in a paradise.The timbre was really pure and pleasant.

When Chi Shu's mother came to Miling Township, she saw two children standing next to the stage together, staring at the child on the stage.

"how?"

"Aunt! Let's buy him!" Chi said excitedly.

Mother Chi didn't actually have much reaction to this, but just glanced at her son again by accident, and found that he lowered his head and raised his eyebrows.

"Do you like it?" Mother Chi smiled, and then she turned her head to the servant and said, "Go and ask the old bustard, how much money does the child want? Let's buy it."

The child didn't know where he came from, he really came and went with ease, only carrying a guqin, and followed Chi Shu into the carriage.

He was dirty and his hair was very messy, curled up in a corner like a puppy.

Chi Shu tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then beckoned to him: "Come here."

The child trembled when he heard the words, but did not move.

"What are you afraid of?" Chi Shu crawled over, brushing a strand of hair hanging on the side of his face behind his ear, "You are older than me. Do you have any wounds on your body?"

He raised his head slowly.Chi Shu was stunned for a moment.

Although his face was a bit dirty, it was not difficult to see that he was a very good-looking child, but there was a horrible scar on his left eye, and the blood from the wound had dried up on his face.

Chi Shu's face was a little ugly.

He turned and crawled away.When the child felt that Chi Shu had disliked him for a long time, Chi Shu came back with some wound medicine and a wet cloth towel, and the water was still fresh water from the teapot.

The child was reluctant to let him touch him. In the end, Chi Shu became angry. Regardless of 21, he directly pressed him into his arms, clamped his body with his legs, and pressed his two arms with his elbows. This made him honest.He broke the child's face, tried his best to lighten his movements, wiped off the blood for him, and then carefully applied the medicine.

Fortunately, no eyes were injured, only skin trauma.

"How did it hurt?" Chi Shu asked him while packing his things.

However, the child guessed that he was afraid of strangers, so he lowered his head and remained silent.

Chi Shu looked at him helplessly for a while, and said, "Come here, it's cold over there." The child was sitting near the door, and the curtain would be blown up a little by the wind, which would make him shiver.

He looked at the door curtain, and finally came timidly, sitting at an arm's length away from Chi Shu.

Chi Shu pouted and leaned aside.

"What's your name?" Chi Shu opened his eyes slightly and asked.

"Xuan... Xuan Jinhuan..."

"Well, my name is Chi Shu." He paused, then suddenly laughed, and said in a low voice, "Do you like Chi Wan, it's that girl."

Xuan Jinhuan didn't answer him.

Chi Shu squinted at him for a while, and suddenly felt that he was still too aggressive, so he turned his head away.

As soon as Xuan Jinhuan jumped out of the carriage with Guqin in his arms, he was stopped by Chi Shu.

He looked up suspiciously, only to see a man standing in front of the two of them without anger and self-importance, quite scary.He's getting old, but not too old.

"Father." Chi Shu called him dryly.

The Patriarch of the Chi Family nodded, and continued to stare at Xuan Jinhuan: "You brought back someone who was eating rice?"

"They all liked it, so they bought it back." Mother Chi said with a smile.

"...Take it back. You two, come to the main hall."

Mother Chi pulled Xuan Jinhuan over, handed him over to the maid, and asked her to take a bath first, then led the two children to the main hall.
