Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 22



Steward Xu returned to the Kou Mansion with the painting in his arms.

The master of the Kou Mansion taboos Kou Min, and he is a well-known good man in the local area.He didn't run wild in the countryside when he gained power like some people, but he built bridges and roads, and did good deeds.

The people around him respected him very much, and even though the old man of the Kou family was gone, there was never a shortage of rent.

"Housekeeper Xu, you're back. The young master has been yelling to find you since he woke up at noon today, and we can't coax you." The person who came was a round-faced boy, and he looked anxious. Been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Where is the young master, I'll go right away." Butler Xu was very anxious. This kid came from the capital, and he was the only one around who he was a little familiar with.Before the young lady died, she released all the servants in the yard, saying it was to accumulate some blessings for the young master, but Butler Xu knew that the young lady could not trust the people there, and was afraid that they would murder the young master.

"The young master locked himself in the room, and no one was allowed in."

Steward Xu walked very fast, and the round-faced boy had to take three steps and two steps to catch up with him.

"Butler Xu!" Housekeeper Xu knocked on the door, "Young Master, I am Grandpa Xu, open the door quickly. See what Grandpa Xu brought back for you?"

A voice came from inside the door, "Is it really Grandpa Xu?" The voice was timid, and it sounded like a timid child.

"That's right, young master, just open the door and take a look. Butler Xu won't lie to you."

The door was quietly opened a crack, revealing a white and tender little round face in a bun.Seeing that it was Butler Xu, he immediately opened the door, threw himself into Butler Xu's arms and began to cry.

"I thought...Grandpa Xu is also like...Aniang, don't...don't want Yu'er anymore." Zhong Liyu was very flustered when he didn't see Butler Xu in the afternoon.He didn't like people he didn't know to be around him, so he locked himself in the room and cried for a long time holding those portraits of his mother.

"The young master is so obedient, why would Grandpa Xu not want you? Not only me, everyone likes you, you see."

The people picked up by Butler Xu immediately showed big smiles trying to please the young master. I don't know if their smiles were too bright, but it had the opposite effect, making Zhong Liyu even more afraid of them.

Steward Xu took Zhong Liyu's little hand to the room, twisted the handkerchief and carefully wiped his face.

He is older than the master, and has never married a wife or had children in his life. In private, he has long regarded the young lady and the young master as his own children.

It was also his luck that the Kou family was all kind, and the young lady and the young master never treated him as a real person.It's a pity, good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years...

Now there are only the young master and the young master left in this family, even if he is asked to do his best, he must protect the young master well and prevent others from bullying him!

"Young master, do you miss your mother very much?"

"En!" Zhong Liyu nodded, in that place, only his mother was the best to him, and everyone else was bad.

Butler Xu opened the wooden box on the table, took out the painting, and slowly unfolded it in front of Zhong Liyu.

Zhong Liyu looked at it, opened his mouth wide, and stared round his eyes: "Is this my mother? She's so beautiful!"

In his memory, A Niang seldom smiled, and the expression on her face was always faint.She likes to wear plain clothes, and there are very few colors on her body. Sometimes she is like an iceman carved by a craftsman outside, and her whole body is full of indelible indifference.

The lady above is wearing a red dress, with a bright smile on her face, and the same dimples on her cheeks.He is indeed A Niang's child, and he looks exactly like A Niang!

Seeing the happy smile on Zhong Liyu's face, Steward Xu was relieved and extremely pleased.

In fact, this is the original appearance of the young lady. Such a lovable child seems to be a different person after arriving in the capital.

If I had known that that person was dead at the beginning, and if I didn't go to him, the Kou family would not have ended up like this today.

Butler Xu hung the painting in the study, Zhong Liyu was originally reluctant.He hoped that Butler Xu could hang the painting in his room so that A Niang could watch him sleep every day.

But Butler Xu said: "Miss paid the most attention to your knowledge, young master, so let your mother watch you read and write in the study."

Zhong Liyu pursed his lips, he felt that Butler Xu seemed to be implying to him that he hadn't endorsed the book properly in the past few days.He looked up at A Niang on the wall, and vowed in his heart that he must study hard tomorrow.

Steward Xu touched Zhong Liyu's little head, and said in his heart: Master, have you seen it?I have brought the young lady and the young master back together, you can rest assured!As long as we wait for the young master to come back, our family can be reunited again.

……

On the official road outside the Ganzhou Mansion, a horse galloped by quickly, with all four hooves galloping up, kicking up countless dust.

Under the dim yellow sunset, the back of the person sitting on the horse looked particularly bleak, and seemed a little tragic.

He went back to attend the funeral.

I still remember that rainy night three years ago, he was riding a fast horse alone on the way home, and it was his father who died that time.

This time, it was his sister.

Kou Jing didn't understand why all the sad things in this world happened in his house.

Maybe it was just what the sorcerer said, he was born with evil spirits, and he was born to kill his mother, causing his father to lose his beloved wife and his sister to lose his loving mother.

The sorcerer wanted to melt him away, but his father and sister refused.The sorcerer had no choice but to leave. Before he left, he left a sentence, "This son's fate is stubborn, you insist on keeping him, and be careful to leave the root of trouble."

My father and sister didn't believe it, but they were afraid that the sorcerer would do something wrong, so they took him to the Lingguang Temple in Puxian Mountain to find the abbot Yuan Xin.When Master Yuanxin saw him, he said that his fate was very strong, and he needed a female name to suppress him.

So his father named him Jing.

His father and sister treated him very well. Although he lost his mother when he was young, the three of them were happy and harmonious.

But in recent years, disasters have happened to his family. First, he met a thief on the way to Beijing to rush for the exam. He was slashed on the side of the face, and then he missed the imperial examination.

After that, it was his father again, who died of depression in his prime.

Now, it was his sister who died of illness again.Whose turn is it next?

When Kou Jing thought of this, the expression on her face became more and more serious.It turned out that a well-mannered scholar, after four years of military career, has already transformed into a man of indomitable spirit.He has an evil spirit polished by the battlefield, and one glance is enough to make people shudder.

Perhaps, people like him should have defended the territory on the battlefield long ago, instead of staying by their side by chance, but ended up killing one after another.

If Chu Ci were here, knowing his thoughts, he would definitely say: Sao Nian, feudal superstition is outrageous!Words such as "Heavenly Fiend and Lone Star" and "restraining one's father and one's mother" are obviously tricks used by warlocks to deceive people, and they are fools if they believe it!
