He and Ren Yaohua got on the donkey cart, and then Li You got on. Dongsheng sat on the shaft outside the donkey cart with the driver.
Not long after, the donkey cart stopped in front of a courtyard.
The courtyards rented out by the temple all look very simple from the outside, and some of them are made of yellow earthen bricks.
The courtyard where Li You settled was made of black tiles and blue bricks. Once inside, he noticed it was very clean, and it was obvious that someone was responsible for its maintenance and cleaning.
Just like leasing land and hiring tenant farmers, renting houses has always been an important source of income for temples.
"Uncle, how long have you been at Bailong Temple?" Ren Yaoqi asked as he followed him into the yard.
"I came here yesterday. Someone asked me to come over for a cockfight. Unexpectedly, the chicken was stolen in the middle of the night. Luckily, I just came here to take a look and brought an ordinary chicken, so if it was lost, it was lost. I was planning to leave today, but I met... ahem, um, an acquaintance." Li You touched his nose and looked around.
Ren Yaoqi didn't ask any more questions.
After entering the house and sitting down, Ren Yaoqi looked at Dongsheng, who had always looked unhappy, and asked directly, "Where are those people following my third sister?"
Ren Yaohua's eyes were like sharp blades piercing Dongsheng's face, but she pursed her lips and said nothing. It was obvious that she was too angry.
Dongsheng glanced at Ren Yaoqi, lowered his head and said, "I knocked them all out."
“…”
"Why don't you just knock me out and throw me into the cave?" Ren Yaohua said sarcastically, and glanced fiercely at Li You who was sitting aside watching the fun.
Li You immediately said with a bitter face: "It was not me who asked him to do this. And Dongsheng has always been well-behaved and obedient. Maybe someone around you did something excessive to make him angry! Is that right, Dongsheng?" Li You secretly winked at Dongsheng.
Dongsheng shook his head and said honestly: "It was my fault that I was reckless."
Ren Yaohua snorted coldly, "He's just an actor, how can he be called a subordinate? The master has no rules, and the subordinates have lost their rules one by one!"
Li You didn't like what he heard. He put his hand on Dongsheng's shoulder and glanced at Ren Yaohua: "He is my man. If I am your subordinate, he is your subordinate. If he is my brother, he is my brother! You are not last name Li, what does it have to do with you?"
Dongsheng was startled and said hurriedly: "Master, I don't deserve it..."
Li You pushed his head hard with his palm: "That's right, I should have you as my younger brother. I would ask you to be my older brother. But you don't have the guts to do that."
Ren Yaohua watched the master and servant quarreling, unable to bear it any longer: "Are you going to get my maid back? If anything happens to them, do you think you can get away with it?"
Li You then remembered and asked Dongsheng after a few coughs, "Where did you hide her? Or did you return her? A good man never fights with a woman."
Dongsheng lowered his head and said, "They are in a cave. I was careful when I knocked them out. They should be waking up by now."
Ren Yaoqi frowned: "We should send someone to check it out quickly. Otherwise, if they wake up and don't see Third Sister and report it to the First Madam, it will be troublesome."
Dongsheng nodded and said, "I was negligent. I'll go get him over right away."
At this moment, someone else came in from outside. Ren Yaoqi heard Xiangqin's voice and said to Dongsheng, "Does Xiasheng know about that cave? If he does, let him take my two maids with him. Otherwise, they might see you arguing again."
She actually had a lot more to ask Dongsheng.
At this time, Xia Sheng walked in with two maids carrying bags.
Ren Yaoqi asked Dongsheng to explain to them, and he took Ren Yaohua with him to change his wet clothes and shoes.
When they travel, they always prepare several sets of clothes in case of emergency.
