Back Off, Let Me Come

The young man walked downstairs quietly, and from the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure disappearing from his sight.

Isn't that Xiao Langjun who is suspected to be Gong Cheng's wife and brother?

Why did this person leave now?

The young man called a servant to ask what was going on and what was the purpose of Shen Tang's stay in Yuehua Building. Unexpectedly, the servant replied with envy: "You mean that little lady? She came to redeem her husband. She was here. Lao Chu, who does chores in the kitchen, is so filial."

When the young man heard this, he lowered his eyelids and looked thoughtful.

"Who is Lao Chu you are talking about?"

Since he is the heir of the Shen family, even if Aweng was killed by the guillotine, how could he do odd jobs in the kitchen of Yuehua Building?

There are already many doubts about this person. At this time, he still doesn't forget to hire servants. What is he going to do with an elderly handyman?

The young man's eyes darkened slightly, and his thoughts turned over a million times.

He is careful and suspicious, so he will not let it go.

"This... I've only been here for three months, so I don't know much about it. I just know that Lao Chu works in the kitchen and is a weirdo who talks little."

Even if he couldn't answer, the young man wouldn't embarrass him.

"Call your boss."

Outside Yuehua Building.

Mr. Chu held a shabby package in his arms and looked at the deserted street with a calm expression. Shen Tang stood aside and said nothing.

The shopkeeper wanted to give space to the "grandfather and grandson" who had been separated for many years to reminisce about the past. In addition, it was daytime, so even in the crowded Goulanwashe, there should be no danger, so he said goodbye with peace of mind. I went back to look at the store and was busy with business.

After watching the shopkeeper leave, Shen Tang raised his head and glanced at Mr. Chu, who still had the same expression. She opened her mouth, worried about finding a topic to break the awkward atmosphere, when her own scooter trotted forward with the reins in its mouth, and nuzzled its head into her arms.

Shen Tang subconsciously took it.

She figured out how to find a topic.

"Mr. Chu, it's still a long way back, why don't you get on... the back of a mule first?" She wanted to say "on the back of a horse," but no matter how tall and beautiful her motorcycle was, it was still a mule, not a horse.

You can't call a mule a horse...

"Mr. Chu?"

Shen Tang called softly again, which was enough to wake up Mr. Chu, who seemed to be in a trance.

He glanced at the motorcycle, which was looking at him.

He then looked at the young man, who was not as tall as his chest and was also the new head of the family. The head of the family was also looking at him.

Being stared at by the man and the mule with the same look, he felt a little bit subtle. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't dare."

Shen Tang: "..."

He called him "slave", but his temperament and the look in his eyes were incompatible with his self-proclaimed words, which made her feel uncomfortable no matter what. So he waved his hand and said: "Mr. Chu, there is no need for this 'slave'. You can call yourself by your first name or a given name."

Mr. Chu was startled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything to refute, he just accepted it.

"yes."

"Then what is your name? My surname is Shen, my given name is Youli, and my family background..." Exchanging names is one of the signs of getting closer to each other. Shen Tang followed the standard format of self-introduction and paused when he mentioned the ranking - —

Where do you go to your original home?

Forget it, I can't think of it at the moment, it's not important.

She then made up a number.

"Xing Wu, you can call me Wu Lang."

If you call her Fifth Lady, she won't have any objection.

only--

Such a beautiful girl is often mistaken for a handsome man. There is something wrong with the eyes of the indigenous people in this world.

Mr. Chu said: "Chu, Chu Yao, the word is Wuhui."

"Chu Yao? What a good name. 'The banners are disturbed by the clouds, and the sharp blades are scattered in the forest. Yang Hui spits fire, and the fields of rays cover the lake'. Yao means yao, and the rays are bright, and the word is 'Wuhui', which means there is no darkness and no darkness. , the meaning is very good." Shen Tang habitually gave a wave of business compliments and swallowed back his complaints.

Blessings are good, as are names and words. Unfortunately, reality and blessings are often contrary to each other. The person who named him hoped that his life would be "bright and bright, without any darkness or obscurity". As a result, he was bought to wash dishes in the kitchen at an early age, and he seemed to have been crippled and lost his literary spirit.

Alas, it is simply miserable.

She brought up the old story again and pointed to the motorcycle with innocent eyes: "Sir, do you want to ride it? The motorcycle is very good and the ride is not bumpy."

Chu Yao took the reins of the motorcycle from Shen Tang and motioned her to get on the back of the mule. After she sat firmly, she said softly: "There is no way the master walks and the servant rides. This is against the rules."

Shen Tang muttered: "How can there be so many rules..."

She bought Lao Chu back to take over Qishan's job of "guiding NPCs". She really had no intention of letting the elderly man take care of her, not to mention that he would play the role of "half master" in the future.

Chu Yao said: "It's different."

Shen Tang was confused: "What's the difference?"

Respecting the old and loving the young is the same no matter where you go.

Chu Yao held the reins in one hand and his old parcel in the other, and walked towards the street. Instead of answering "What's different?", he asked a somewhat strange question.

"How much money did Goro buy it for?"

This is asking how much it cost to buy him?

Shen Tang looked hesitant: "Although I should have considered my husband's mood and quoted a higher price, but this was dishonest... The principal originally planned to bid five taels, but he misunderstood the relationship between you and me, thinking that we, grandson and grandson, sympathize with each other. Then I took the initiative to reduce it by two taels."

But she didn't know that Chu Yao, who was facing away from her, had a strange expression on his face for a moment, which seemed to be doubtful and struggling. It was complicated and unsolvable, and he didn't give her a reaction for a long time. Shen Tang was wondering if he was ignoring people, but she heard him murmur: "So... it's three liang?"

Shen Tang: "..."

Five minus two equals three…

How difficult is this math problem?

Have you been hesitating for so long?

Be confident, it's three or two!

"Yes, three taels, the calculation should be correct..." Shen Tang clapped his fingers, convinced that he had calculated correctly, and then doubted whether he had found the wrong person - he had to hesitate again and again for an arithmetic question of this level. , Mr. Chu is really as awesome as Qishan said?

Or, praying for her?

So Shen Tang asked a question that he had held back for a long time.

"Yuanliang said before that you are talented. A talented person, even if he is in a trough, can always find a way to make his life better. Why doesn't he redeem himself? Or can't he redeem himself?"

Although livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep are sold cheaply, no matter how cheap they are, they still cost money to buy. Many ordinary people cannot afford to eat them. It can be seen that Chu Yao lived in poverty but did not have no income.

After working in the kitchen of Yuehua Building in Xiaocheng for so many years, he never thought about finding a part-time job to earn a little money to redeem himself?

He was educated and capable, and was more popular than ordinary people wherever he went, so Shen Tang was puzzled.

"Before the Xin Kingdom is destroyed, a sinner like me cannot redeem myself."

"The Kexin Kingdom has already been destroyed."

This rule is naturally abolished.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yao said something that made her difficult to understand.

"It's either unwilling or impossible."

"ah?"

That being the case, why not act?

Chu Yao smiled in confusion and helplessness, sighing with a hint of resignation that Shen Tang couldn't figure out, and the next sentence succeeded in making her confused and full of questions.

He said, "I'm waiting for three taels of silver from Wulang."
