C76 – Lost His Temper
Luo Xiaoliu ran in while panting with two stacks of books in his hands. The mont he entered the door, he shouted, “Nanny Liu, is Master San back yet?”
Nanny Liu was wandering outside Zuo Shaoqing’s door. When she saw Luo Xiaoliu return, she acted as if she saw a Buddha. She went up to him and pulled him, asking, “What happened to you two when you went out today? Why did San Ye co back with a blank face? As soon as she ca back, he went into the room and locked the door.”
Luo Xiaoliu put down the book on the ground, hit his sore arms and said with a bitter face, “I don’t know either, just now at the bookstore, San Ye ran away all of a sudden, I was chasing after him with these two piles of books, I almost ran away and stopped breathing!”
“Nothing special happened?” Nanny Liu obviously did not believe him. After all, Zuo Shaoqing’s condition just now was too abnormal.
Luo Xiaoliu recalled everything from start to finish, “There’s nothing special. It’s just that I t a slly scholar who was sighing at the entrance of the bookstore.” San Ye said a few words to him, then was stepped on by a gentle and refined young man in the bookstore. “So this grandpa is going crazy…”
“Only one step?”
Luo Xiaoliu nodded with certainty, “Yes, he was stepped on. But I saw that young man’s elegance and elegance. He was obviously not a bad person and it was definitely not on purpose.”
A dagger pierced through the paper glued on the door as if it had grown eyes, brushing past Luo Xiaoliu’s neck and heavily inserting itself into the wooden pillar behind him.
Luo Xiaoliu was so scared that his legs trembled. He cried out loudly, “I… I see that San Ye’s expression seems to be very painful… Nanny Liu… Have we brought a tumbler?”
Nanny Liu patted her chest and imdiately went to rummage through the boxes. Finally, she found half a bottle of dicinal wine from a corner and knocked on Zuo Shaoqing’s door, “Master, does your feet hurt a lot? “Nanny Liu, can you knead the dicinal wine inside for you?”
The door was quickly opened from the inside. Zuo Shaoqing smiled and said as if nothing had happened, “It’s alright, you don’t need to apply dicine.”
Nanny Liu first paid attention to his feet. Seeing that he was walking normally, she then turned to observe his face, as if she didn’t notice anything strange.
Could it be that San Ye hurried into the room just now for so other reason?
Zuo Shaoqing knew what she was worried about. He put her dicine on the table and pushed her out, “Nanny Liu, I’m hungry. Go and cook sothing for .”
He walked in front of Luo Xiaoliu, raised his chin and ordered, “Lil ‘Liu, go, pull out this lord’s dagger!”
Luo Xiaoliu retracted his neck and feebly said, “Master, this thing cannot be randomly thrown away. Be careful of human life!”
“Who said I was throwing it around? This grandpa has trained his accuracy before, otherwise, he wouldn’t have flown close to your neck just now.”
“Then… Where does it fly by?” Luo Xiaoliu asked nervously.
Zuo Shaoqing smiled evilly and touched Luo Xiaoliu’s carotid artery with his finger, “Of course… Here!”
Luo Xiaoliu was so scared that his legs turned to jelly, he kneeled on the ground and said, “Master, how can I not tell you directly? If you want to beat up, just do it. Don’t joke with , I’m a coward!”
Zuo Shaoqing patted his shoulder and didn’t tell him to get up. He leaned on the pillar and played with the dagger as he asked: “Who did you say was elegant and elegant? Who doesn’t look like a bad person?”
No matter how foolish Luo Xiaoliu was, he knew what the problem was. He imdiately hugged Zuo Shaoqing’s leg and said sternly: “Of course I’m talking about you, our Lord San is the most honest and kind, he doesn’t look like a bad person at all, haha…”
Zuo Shaoqing lightly kicked him, “Rember, when you see that person in the future, you will curse him a hundred tis in your heart. When your curse is fulfilled, I will reward you handsoly!”
Luo Xiaoliu was confused, but he still agreed seriously.
Nanny Liu carried a plate of green bean cake from the kitchen and passed it to him, “The rice has already been stead, just wait for Second Master to cook a few dishes. Eat so of this as a cushion.”
Zuo Shaoqing pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, asking, “Why isn’t Second Uncle back yet?” As soon as he finished, Zuo Yunyang ca in with two attendant carrying two large sacks.
“He started eating just like that? Second Uncle also brought you a famous roast duck with sauce in the capital.”
Slling the fragrance of the roast duck, the worm in Zuo Shaoqing’s stomach was also lured out, allowing Nanny Liu to cut a plate first to satisfy her appetite.
After a al, Zuo Shaoqing took out a tea set and brewed so tea in the yard. He didn’t pay much attention to brewing tea, but his smooth movents made everyone feel that he was refined.
“Shao Qing’s brewing of tea is much more enjoyable than tea itself.”
“Second Uncle, you’re too kind. Without this top-notch gift from you, your nephew would not even be interested in making tea.”
“Haha… I don’t dare to say anything else, but there are a lot of good tea leaves. Just ask soone to bring so from ho after you finish drinking them.”
Zuo Shaoqing poured tea into the cup in front of him. The dark green tea reflected the white porcelain cup, and the color was indescribably fresh.
“Why didn’t Second Uncle bring Second Aunt and the others over?”
“This…” Zuo Yunyang was deep in thought. He fiddled with the tea on the table with his fat fingers, and after a long ti, he said, “Second Uncle’s business is all in the south. Coming to the capital might not be better than coming to the south.”
Zuo Shaoqing knew that in his previous life, Zuo Yunyang didn’t move to the capital. On one hand, he couldn’t abandon his family’s property, and on the other hand, he wanted to avoid the big house. Without the big house’s suppression, the second house was like a fish in water in a small place.
But right now, he couldn’t do without this Second Uncle’s help. It would be best if he could keep him in the capital.
Business is not a big problem. As long as you shift your focus to the north, your family can send a few stewards to watch. Also, Second Uncle will be out all day, leaving Second Aunt alone at ho.
“That’s true… However, this matter requires your second aunt’s approval.”
Zuo Shaoqing understood his fear of the inside, so he joked, “Second Uncle should say this to Second Aunt, she must be extrely happy.”
“Don’t ntion it, who doesn’t know your second aunt’s domineering nature in Youuxi Town? But to be honest, only I know how sour and sweet I am.”
Zuo Shaoqing couldn’t hide the deep affection in his eyes. He poured another cup of tea and respectfully handed the cup to Zuo Yunyang. “What Second Uncle said is right. Although people say it’s scary, obedience is the most important.”
He could foresee that when his relationship with Lu Zheng surfaced, he would face even sharper accusations and disdain.
Two days passed comfortably. Early that morning, Zuo Shaoqing was still lying in bed, unwilling to move when he heard Luo Xiaoliu rush in and shout: “Master San, it’s snowing!”
A gust of cold wind blew in along with the door that was opened wide open. Zuo Shaoqing rolled over and tightly wrapped the blanket as he mumbled: “Then let’s go. It’s not like I haven’t seen it before.”
Luo Xiaoliu was excited, “When has this grandpa seen it before? Our Youuxi Town has never snowed before, not even in the entire Chang Ping.”
Only then did Zuo Shaoqing realize that he had blurted out sothing, and casually said, “I saw it in my dreams!”
In his hand was a lump of snow, he handed it over to Zuo Shaoqing happily, “Look, does the snow in your dream look like this? So beautiful.”
Zuo Shaoqing turned over again and scolded with a frown: “Take it away! Don’t leave the ice on your bed.”
Luo Xiaoliu twitched his mouth, turned around and ran out. Zuo Shaoqing shouted from behind him, “Don’t just focus on playing with the snow, you’ll feel better when your fingers grow frostbite.”
After all, Luo Xiaoliu was two years older than Zuo Shaoqing. After playing in the snow for a while and getting fresh, he had lost all interest.
Luo Xiaoliu didn’t feel it when they were playing. At this mont, he realized his hands were red and swollen, and he was frozen to the point that he felt numb.
Just as he was about to cry but had no tears left, soone shouted at the entrance of the courtyard: “Is Shao Qing here?”
Luo Xiaoliu heard it familiar, so he ran over to open the yard’s door. He raised his face into a big smile, “How did Master Qu find ? Co in!”
After bringing him into Zuo Shaoqing’s room, Luo Xiaoliu gloated, “Master San, look who’s here!”
Zuo Shaoqing heard the voice and slightly opened his eyes. When he saw the smiling face of Qu Changqing, he didn’t care too much about it. When he saw Sun Tie, who was standing behind Qu Changqing, he suddenly opened his eyes widely and sat up on the bed.
It seed like he had been too nice to Luo Xiaoliu recently. He actually let a stranger into his room so casually. Don’t you know the rules?
If Luo Xiaoliu knew this, he would definitely cry out injustice. In his opinion, Qu Changqing was San Ye’s only good friend, so what if he brought him into the room? As for Jiung Hengzhou, he was a famous scholar. Other people would not even be able to curry favor with him.
