Chitose words

Chapter 27 Not a Child
Sure enough, as Yu An'an said, today's Pingzhou City Yu Mansion can only be seen outside the gate.

——Aside from other things, the two mighty stone lions outside the door still look very impressive and can bluff people.

However, when they stepped into the gate of Yu Mansion, they immediately saw the overgrown weeds all over the outer courtyard.

In the gaps between the bluestone floor tiles, there are various wild flowers and weeds of different heights, which are not aesthetic, let alone gardening.

However, although this courtyard does not look like a grand general's mansion, it is still wild and full of vitality.

When the woman feeding chickens in the courtyard heard the noise, she raised her head with a cold frown and said coldly:
"Why did you come back at this hour? Why does it take so long to buy vegetables? An'an, did you sneak out on the street - "

Her words stopped abruptly when she met the faces of three unfamiliar young people, and a trace of astonishment flashed across the indifferent expression on her face.

".Who are these people?"

Yu An'an felt a little embarrassed, and quickly introduced with a red face: "Mother, these are my daughter's benefactors. Just now my daughter encountered some difficulties in the market, thanks to Ling Shaoxia, Han Shaoxia and Miss Xie for their help." , They were hungry and thirsty on the way, drank a cup of tea and left."

She categorically did not mention what "difficulties" she had encountered before, perhaps because she was afraid that her mother, Mrs. Yu, would be worried.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Yu Ning heard what she said, she finally showed a trace of gentleness on her face.

"There is such a thing? Then you should really thank the young heroes. Please sit down, and I will make tea for you."

Ling or nodded slightly politely, and said humbly and obediently:

"Don't dare to disturb Madam. You don't have to be busy. Just bring me a pot of water."

Mrs. Yu obviously liked the uprightness and elegance of the young man in front of her. This kind of polite and upright attitude was actually very similar to her deceased husband, General Pingwei Yu Nianzhi.

As a result, there was a touch of warmth in her smile.

"What's the trouble here? Sit down a little, and it will be fine in a while."

Just like that, Xie Zhao, Ling He, and Han Changsheng sat down in order at the only stone table in the small courtyard of Yu Mansion, quietly waiting for Mrs. Yu to boil water and make tea.

——Of course, in fact, the only ones who behaved well were Ling He and Han Changsheng.

Xie Zhao was born without bones, and after less than half a cup of tea, she repeated her old trick, leaning crookedly on the stone table, and began to fall asleep.

——Although Xie Zhao lives a rough life, he is actually the most intolerant of suffering among the three people.When on the road, she is always the first one to cry out that she is tired.

However, Ling He and Han Changsheng knew that she must have suffered some serious crime a year and a half ago, so she fell down the towering "Shenxian Ridge" unluckily, and almost suffered a permanent disability that she could not get up. She was much weaker than them. Therefore, when they were on their way, the two of them were more considerate and accommodating to her footsteps.

At this time, seeing that Xie Zhao sat down for a while, he became tired and sleepy and began to stare in a daze, Ling could not help laughing.

He gently took off his outer garment and gently placed it on Xie Zhao's shoulders.It was late summer and early autumn. Xie Zhao was sweating a little on the road, so he still had to be careful about catching a cold.

He said, "If you're tired, take a nap first. Madam Yu, come over and I'll call you."

Xie Zhao nodded in a daze, not knowing if he heard it or not.

However, before Xie Zhao could sleep soundly, Mrs. Yu had already boiled the water and made tea, and came out of the kitchen with a teapot and teacup with a smile on her face.

Xie Zhao was pushed secretly by Han Changsheng and woke up immediately. He immediately sat upright and looked like he was waiting to drink tea.

Although the Yu Mansion is simple, the tea that Mrs. Yu serves guests is not simple - it is actually a very famous tea in Zhaoge City in the past, called "Stepping on the Spring Breeze".

Its tea tastes light but mellow, fragrant and tangy, and the spring breeze is blowing on the face. It is really a tea as its name suggests.

It seems that what Yu An'an said earlier is true. It's not that the Yu family has no family background and money, but that Mrs. Yu can't think about it and wants to ask for trouble and live a hard life.

Mrs. Yu took a sip of her tea, and asked with a smile, "Have you asked the names of the young heroes yet? Don't they look like people from Pingzhou City?"

The three of them looked at each other. Xie Zhao was the first to put down the tea cup and spoke with a smile.

"Ma'am, you are polite, my name is Xie Zhao, and I am a foreigner passing by here.

After his parents died one after another, Xie Zhao had no fixed place to live, so he came to wander around in the world.I don’t expect to be able to achieve anything, but it would be great to gain a lot of experience. "

Han Changsheng on the side nodded and agreed in a low voice, "It's true that after so many years of wandering around, you're still just a Jinyao person. You really don't have much potential anymore - eh!"

He suddenly let out a cry of pain, and it turned out that it was Xie Zhao who struck him hard with his elbow without any expression.

Ling or shook his head with a smile, bowed his head and drank his tea.

Unexpectedly, when Madam Yu heard the words, she immediately paused, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes.

"It turns out that Miss Xie's life experience is also so lonely, but it is somewhat similar to my poor child. It's hard for you. It's not easy to wander alone in the rivers and lakes, right?"

Xie Zhao smiled and waved her hands again and again, she said nonchalantly:

"Hey, madam's words are wrong. Kings, generals, traffickers, pawns, which one really has an easy life? However, in life, a hundred years in a hurry, although it is difficult to say, setbacks and bad luck will eventually pass.

——There is nothing important in life except death. As long as one is still alive, one must live in a dignified and frank way, right? "

Mrs. Yu was taken aback.

Xie Zhao obviously meant something, and Mrs. Yu and Ling You seemed to be touched by Xie Zhao's words, so there was a long silence in the courtyard.

Xie Zhao did not interrupt her. After finishing the call, he just smiled and drank tea with a natural expression.

Although Han Changsheng didn't know what kind of charades Xie Zhao was playing, he was very sensible and never interrupted them.

——The three of them have a tacit understanding for a long time. When they are out and about and the situation is unclear, Xie Zhao, the "mouth substitute" among the three, usually negotiates;

And if something goes wrong and someone uses force on them, Ling or the "thug" will take care of it.

what?
If you ask, what does Han Changsheng do?

Han Changsheng thought earnestly: This young master is so suave and suave, and standing there is the most beautiful scenery, so what else?Naturally, it is enough to be responsible for being handsome and stunning.

After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Yu seemed to have finally recovered from her thoughts.

When she raised her head again, the way she looked at Xie Zhao was a little different.

Madam Yu quietly looked at Xie Zhao's extremely ugly face, and sighed softly:
"Miss Xie is so young, I'm afraid she is only a few years older than my An An, but she has such knowledge and such a free and easy bearing, she is really a rare woman in the world.

——If your parents were still alive, they would be happy to see you grow into the upright and free-spirited person you are today. "

Xie Zhao laughed heartlessly.

"Madam, I am already this year and I am no longer a child."
