The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.
...Chapter 182 Maintenance
"I'll hold down some branches for you, and you climb towards the treetops now. When you reach the wall, climb to the top of the wall. Do you understand?" Fan Wenxuan pointed at the top of the wall and said to Chu Jinzhou.
"Hmm." Chu Jinzhou took a look and swallowed.
Climbing trees and climbing over walls is something he has never done before, but now it is his master's order, and seeing that the distance from the tree branch to the top of the wall is not far, Chu Jinzhou took a deep breath, bent down, and climbed up to the treetop little by little.
The tung tree was tall, and its branches and leaves were dense. When Chu Jinzhou climbed over, he was scratched on the face by the leaves, which made him want to sneeze a few times. However, he was afraid that the noise would be too loud and would attract the servants' inspection, so he had to endure it and continued to climb over there quietly.
The closer he climbed to the treetops, the thinner the branches became, and the more violently they swayed. Chu Jinzhou tensed his nerves and moved little by little until his hands and feet touched the wall. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Things that seem difficult don’t seem that difficult when you actually do them.
Chu Jinzhou rode on the top of the wall and waved to Fan Wenxuan excitedly: "Sir, come here quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Jinzhou was so excited that he lost his balance and leaned toward the wall.
He subconsciously reached out to grab the branch, but because he was small and his arms were short, even if he grabbed a leaf, the leaf would be torn apart due to the decrease in gravity, and it did not stop Chu Jinzhou from falling.
"Jinzhou!" Fan Wenxuan exclaimed and hurriedly prepared to jump over, but before he could make any move, Chu Jinzhou's shadow on the wall had disappeared.
Finished!
Fan Wenxuan was startled and didn't care about anything else. He quickly jumped from the branch to the top of the wall, and then jumped down from the top of the wall.
But this jump did not land on the hard ground as he expected, but seemed to land in someone's arms.
And you can feel that he is a man.
Fan Wenxuan felt sick and quickly pushed the person away: "Who is it!"
"Mr. Fan."
A cold and steady voice rang in Fan Wenxuan's ears, and then the fire lit up in an instant, and the torches illuminated the place as if it were daytime.
Fan Wenxuan covered his eyes with his hands for a moment before he got used to the brightness. When he took his hands away, he saw Chu Jinnian's gloomy face.
He held Chu Jinzhou in his arms, who was still a little panicked and had a slightly pale face.
Fortunately, Chu Jinzhou is fine.
Fan Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief, but when he sensed Chu Jinnian's gaze, which was as cold as a knife, his heart skipped a beat.
Since Chu Jinnian's mother passed away, Chu Jinzhou has been the only relative he cares about. He is a well-known brother-protecting maniac in the entire capital. Now that Chu Jinzhou is almost injured, Chu Jinnian will definitely not give up.
Fan Wenxuan smiled awkwardly: "The eldest master has returned, but he didn't even inform me. I am ashamed for not welcoming him..."
"This is Qingzhu Garden. I don't need to tell Mr. Fan when I come back."
Chu Jinnian's voice was as cold as ice: "If you don't come back, I don't know. It turns out that Mr. Fan doesn't sleep at night."
He rushed back here from the capital. Originally, he thought it was late at night and he didn't want to disturb Chu Jinzhou and Fan Wenxuan's rest, so he came back quietly. However, he didn't expect that after arriving here, he would find that two people were deliberately climbing over the wall to go out late at night.
Chu Jinnian did not make a sound. He only asked some people to guard in the garden and led some people to wait outside. Unexpectedly, as soon as they got outside, they saw Chu Jinzhou falling from the wall.
Although he was quick to catch the person and ensure his safety, this dangerous action would have caused Chu Jinzhou to suffer if he was not around.
When he thought that Chu Jinzhou might be in danger, Chu Jinnian couldn't suppress the chill in his body, which spread out, making Fan Wenxuan feel uncomfortable all over.
"This matter..." Fan Wenxuan couldn't think of any reason to explain his behavior at this moment.
"Brother." Chu Jinzhou struggled to break free from Chu Jinnian's arms, stood on the ground, and bowed to Chu Jinnian: "You can't blame the master for this."
"It was because I was bored staying in the garden, and Steward Feng didn't want me and the master to go out easily. I wanted to go out and have some fun, so I begged the master to take me out."
"The master was reluctant at first, but he couldn't stand my constant nagging and finally agreed to take me out, so he decided to climb over the wall and get out."
"This matter was indeed my idea, and it has nothing to do with you, sir."
Um……
The boy is teachable and he knows how to adapt.
Fan Wenxuan couldn't help but give Chu Jinzhou a thumbs up.
At least this time, I saved him.
Chu Jinnian naturally didn't believe such words, but Chu Jinzhou's pleading tone and his anxious look, fearing that he would blame Fan Wenxuan, made Chu Jinnian feel sorry for him. He suppressed his anger a little, looked at Chu Jinzhou and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true." Chu Jinzhou nodded vigorously, suppressing the fear of not daring to look Chu Jinnian in the eye, and whispered: "This incident was caused by me, I am willing to be punished."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Tomorrow I will obediently copy the books at home and copy all the articles I have learned during this period of time ten times, no, twenty times..."
Chu Jinnian glanced at Fan Wenxuan.
It is said that you, Mr. Fan, behave in an eccentric and shocking way. Your skill in winning over children is also incredibly powerful. In a short period of time, you have managed to make Chu Jinzhou partial to you in every way, and even deceived me, your eldest brother.
Fan Wenxuan felt a little guilty when Chu Jinnian looked at him, so he lowered his head and touched his nose.
We can't blame him for this, right?
It was you who suggested that he teach Chu Jinzhou in the first place, so that Chu Jinzhou wouldn't have to live his life so cautiously, always worrying about other people's feelings, and could live a free and easy life.
Now, isn't it time to teach him to be more lively? Isn't that what you want?
The two of them had a conversation that showed they understood each other. Chu Jinnian snorted coldly, and without even looking at Fan Wenxuan, he just took Chu Jinzhou's hand and said, "Since you have the courage to admit your mistakes, you won't be punished for this. From now on, you must remember not to do dangerous things without considering your own safety."
"No matter who asks you to do it, no matter who it's for, you can't do it."
Including him.
"Don't worry, big brother. I've got this down." Seeing that Chu Jinnian had no intention of blaming Fan Wenxuan, Chu Jinzhou heaved a sigh of relief and quickly responded.
Chu Jinnian was silent for a moment before he raised his eyelids: "It's late at night, go back and rest."
"Yes." Chu Jinzhou nodded again.
Chu Jinnian turned and walked towards Qingzhu Garden.
The servant beside them hurriedly took Chu Jinzhou and Fan Wenxuan to arrange for them to sleep.
