Chapter 212 Ancient Literature (15)
In the carriage.
Chu Yun reached out and poked Duan Fuqing's arm, but was dodged as expected.
Seeing Duan Fuqing pretending to hold a book, Chu Yun didn't know whether he was reading it at all. The carriage was shaking, and he wanted to poke Duan Fuqing again.
The wheels of the car passed over a big pothole, the car shook, and Chu Yun poked Duan Fuqing in the waist.
Chu Yun: ...
Duan Fuqing was startled and threw down the book, turned around and glared at Chu Yun.
Chu Yun raised a finger and gently flicked it with his other hand.
——It’s the fingers that are disobedient.
He smiled at Duan Fuqing again.
——I taught it a lesson.
Duan Fuqing's anger disappeared in an instant. The little idiot was really capable. He even wanted to laugh.
"What? Why don't you chat with me for a while? Or just stay here."
Seeing that he was no longer angry, Chu Yun started painting.
Duan Fuqing had an urge to learn the language of the little fool at this moment. Since the little fool didn't understand what he said, the little fool was unwilling to speak.
He wanted to know what the little fool was thinking, where he came from, what he liked to eat, what he liked to do, why he was willing to follow him, and so on.
Looking at the box of lychees on the table, Duan Fuqing recalled Ning Ruyuan's look.
It's so sticky and disgusting.
If he still couldn't see what Ning Ruoyuan was trying to do, he would be a fool. He was clearly attracted to the little fool.
What does he deserve? A whore.
All those who can receive customers in Lanyue Pavilion are smart people. I really don’t know what’s so good about that little idiot that he can be favored by this famous future top star.
He eats as much as a pig, sleeps more than a hibernating bear, is greedy and picky, and is extremely poor. He saw a few silver coins in his tattered clothes pocket that day, but they were not enough for his meal, and he often made him angry.
Apart from the face being somewhat interesting, Duan Fuqing shook his head.
——I really don’t know what else I can show off.
Chu Yun didn't know that Duan Fuqing had belittled him in his heart. Seeing that his mood had calmed down, he took out the lychees. If he didn't eat them in the hot weather, the ice inside would melt. He liked iced lychees.
There was a small handkerchief on Chu Yun's desk, which he used to wipe his sweat. It was bought for him by Duan Fuqing and was also yellow. He seemed to particularly like wearing brightly colored clothes.
The desk in the carriage has become Chu Yun's exclusive property. He wants to write and draw, so Duan Fuqing's chessboard has to be put away. He even has to hold it up when reading so that it cannot take up Chu Yun's space.
After wiping the sweat off his face, Chu Yun took out an iced lychee and handed it to Duan Fuqing. Duan Fuqing turned his head away and refused to take it or eat it.
Just right.
There is still not enough food at Fulai.
Chu Yun ate two and then gave a few to Fu Lai. He didn’t know if the horse was deliberately against him, but always ran into the big pit at the critical moment.
Chu Yun lost his balance and fell to one side, sitting on Duan Fuqing's thigh.
Before he finished, the book in Duan Fuqing's hand fell, and Chu Yun lowered his head and met Duan Fuqing's eyes. The carriage was still heading in a direction, and Chu Yun and Duan Fuqing were very close.
Duan Fuqing protected Chu Yun's head, and the two of them hugged each other tightly. The heat was steaming, and Chu Yun seemed to feel... awkward when he moved.
For a moment, I couldn’t tell whether Chu Yun’s face was hotter or Duan Fuqing’s... was hotter.
Chu Yun quickly stood up, his eyes darting around, and he didn't look at Duan Fuqing.
Duan Fuqing was also extremely embarrassed. How could this unforgiving body just...
"Fulai! If you can't ride a horse, get off!"
Fulai didn't dare to say a word.
The second half of the journey was extremely awkward. The weather was hot, and there were only two of them in the carriage. The fragrance from Chu Yun's body became more and more intense, and Duan Fuqing couldn't get off for a long time.
Chu Yun simply stuck his head half out of the car window. It was too embarrassing to be in the car. Duan Fuqing's face was as red as a shrimp.
Duan Fuqing wanted to punch it, how could it be so embarrassing?
The carriage finally arrived in the capital.
The capital city is indeed prosperous. It is the capital of the emperor and is far superior to any other place.
The streets are always busy, and patrols in serious and neat clothes are seen from time to time. Before it gets dark, they drive their carriages back home.
Minister Duan's family was large and his mansion was magnificent. Two majestic stone lions guarded the main gate, the outer walls were tall and thick, and the gate was majestic and solemn.
Duan Fuqing got off the car first, and an old servant who looked like a manager at the door greeted him with a smile and a nod.
"Third Young Master, you are back! Madam and Master are still talking about you all the time."
Duan Fuqing returned to his gentle smile:
"Really? Are both father and mother okay?"
"Okay, okay."
The old servant turned around and saw Chu Yun. He looked at him quietly, not knowing which family he was from, so he looked at Duan Fuqing with a puzzled look.
Duan Fuqing smiled slightly.
"This is my...little servant."
When the old servant heard this, he was shocked. Are servants so noble now? Even if he said he was the prince, he would believe it.
After crossing the threshold, Chu Yun saw how big it was inside. It was a large courtyard with five entrances and exits. In front was the reception room, further in was the main courtyard, and on both sides were the east and west wing rooms, where the young masters lived. Further in was the back room, where most of the female family members lived.
Walking around inside, I saw many busy servants, and there was also a rockery and lotus pond in the yard.
Chu Yun originally thought that Duan Fuqing would go into the wing room, but unexpectedly he had his own yard inside.
There were three words written on the arch, but Chu Yun only recognized one of them: "listen".
His yard was not big, but compared to the rooms where the young masters lived, it was much more spacious and had privacy.
"Third Young Master, Fulai, you are finally back. Are you hungry? Fushou has just cooked dinner."
The person who was speaking was called Fusheng. He was very thin, but his words and actions revealed a sense of maturity and stability, which was the exact opposite of the fat Fulai.
Fulai went up and started playing with Fusheng.
"I missed you so much, I brought you something good!"
Fusheng pushed him away and ignored his "good stuff".
"Third Young Master, this is..."
Duan Fuqing was just about to introduce them when he found that the little fool was hiding behind him as if he was afraid of people. He wanted to laugh. He was so brave in front of him normally, so why was he scared when he saw a stranger?
Duan Fuqing patted the little fool's shoulder and introduced him.
"His name is Xiaoyun. He will be my servant from now on. He will serve me together with the rest of you. You are not allowed to bully him."
Chu Yun gave a timid smile.
Duan Fuqing took the little fool's hand and took him around to visit, leaving Fusheng and Fulai to talk.
Duan Fuqing's yard is small but clean. There is a bamboo forest in the corner, and little squirrels visit the bamboo forest.
There is a stone table in the yard, and they usually eat outside in the evening. It is cool. Duan Fuqing said that he would install a swing for fun when the time comes.
Chu Yun didn't understand. Seeing that he kept talking, he knew he was introducing something to him. Not wanting to spoil the fun, he nodded seriously.
His face was pinched again.
Duan Fuqing took Chu Yun to the bedroom and frowned when he saw the bed. He didn't think it was small before, why does it look so small now?
The same goes for the wardrobe. How can we put their clothes in it when it’s so small?
There is a new member, Chu Yun, in the courtyard. Everything needs to be prepared, including Chu Yun’s bedding, clothes, shoes, and various other things that Chu Yun needs.
He blew a whistle.
Chu Yun saw a man in black clothes jumping down from the top of the wall. He had no idea where he came from. Also, is it true that he wouldn't break any bones if he jumped from such a high place?
"Go and buy everything on the list. Get the best."
Chu Yun looked at the man in front of him who took the list and stood up. He was tall and thin, dressed in black and wearing a mask, looking very cool.
Chu Yun didn't know that his eyes were shining, and such a look was naturally noticed by the man in black. He paused, jumped onto the wall and left.
Chu Yun also wanted to jump over the wall, so he stretched his neck to look.
A sinister voice came.
——"Does it look good?"
