The creditor favors the little orphan girl alone

Chapter 41 Fulfilling the Promise ([-])

"..." Tao Qiqi shrank his shoulders and said in a barely audible voice. "If you don't come back early, if you don't come back later, why is it at this critical moment..."

Yuan Bao bent down, picked up Tao Qiqi's collar with one hand, and lifted her up to the height of his head. "You have the guts to repeat what you just said."

"..." Hua Baihe lowered her head and bit her lower lip silently. If she dared to speak back, Yuan Bao would definitely not spare her.

Yuan Bao put down Tao Qiqi, and looked at Hongxia who was close at hand. "Hongxia, tell me, what's going on?"

"Uh." Hongxia didn't know how to answer, she quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and rushed out of the courtyard without looking back, leaving only an irresponsible sentence echoing in the courtyard. "The servant doesn't know anything, the young master should ask Miss Qi."

"Tao, Qi, Qi." Yuan Bao called Tao Qiqi by first and last name, obviously angry. "What did you do to scare Hongxia away?"

"No, I just want to grab her clothes and wash them." Tao Qiqi pouted her cherry mouth, staring at the direction where Hongxia left. "Hongxia is too good to let people touch her clothes."

Yuan Bao hated iron and iron, pulled Tao Qiqi's wrist and walked to the bedroom, teaching Tao Qiqi while walking. "How many times have I told you that your job duty is to serve Master Ben well. You can't even do your own duty, and you still want to steal other people's work."

"By the way, young master, how is your business going?" Tao Qiqi thought about it, thinking that this sentence would distract Yuan Bao's attention. "The young master will take care of both of you, it must be done, I..."

"Shut up." Yuan Bao covered Tao Qiqi's nonsense lips with his free hand, went back to the room and closed the door, Yuan Bao released Hua Lily. "Tao Qiqi, I don't want to repeat what I said a third time. This is the last time I warn you not to do anything other than what I ordered. Do you understand?"

Tao Qiqi felt tired, and yawned involuntarily. "Yes, master."

Listening to Tao Qiqi's perfunctory words, Yuan Bao gritted his teeth and questioned Tao Qiqi. "Excuse me, what did the young master say?"

"Do you understand?" Tao Qiqi repeated the most insignificant words Yuan Bao said, and she really didn't hear clearly what Yuan Bao said earlier.

"..." Yuan Bao didn't know what to say, if he was a weak and sick person, Tao Qi would definitely vomit blood and die.

Tao Qiqi's charming and bright eyes blinked and blinked non-stop, looking at Yuan Bao intently. "Master, what's wrong with you? Your face has changed."

"Since you said you have nothing to do, well, Tao Qiqi, go and copy the Analects for me twice." Yuan Bao raised his arm and pointed to the desk. "Give it to me when the cock crows tomorrow morning."

"Yes, young master." Tao Qiqi happily sat down on the chair in front of the desk, opened the Analects of Confucius at hand and copied it without saying a word.

Yuan Bao slapped himself on the forehead, sighed, and felt that meeting Tao Qiqi, falling in love with her, and wanting to marry her as his wife might shorten his life for many years.

"Ah, young master, didn't you go to shopkeeper Sun to discuss the matter of the school today? What was the result?" Tao Qiqi had two things in mind, talking to Yuan Bao while copying the Analects. "Have you found enough manpower?"

Yuan Bao went to the soft couch not far away and lay down, and replied absent-mindedly. "There are not many trustworthy people around Shopkeeper Sun, only five. I can open up a school here and take away at most four people from Shopkeeper Sun, and Shopkeeper Sun has to keep a helper."

"That, young master." Tao Qiqi stopped writing, looked at Yuan Bao and expressed his opinion. "We don't have so much time to wait to find enough people to start the school. Why don't we disperse the four people who can be trusted right now, and take charge of the preparations in the nearby Lin Town. When the school starts, we will send the four people to other places. There will definitely be other enthusiastic people to help.”

Yuan Bao thought about it carefully, and thought that what Tao Qiqi said was right, he couldn't suspend such important things as opening a school because of lack of manpower, wouldn't it be a small loss for the big?
"Also, I suddenly remembered those people I met some time ago." Tao Qiqi talked more and more vigorously, and he didn't even know that the black ink left on the brush quietly covered up the writing on the rice paper. "Mr. Fang Ruoxuan, Miss Lian Qingqing, Miss Xue Linger, Miss Li Xinxin, Mr. Zhang Zhiming, Mr. Qin Feng, Miss Qin Meier, Miss Wen Wan, Miss Fangfei, Mr. Zhang Minghan."

When did this Tao Qiqi think so fast?Yuan Bao was amazed that he could not only remember those people whom he met only once, but also remembered all their names. "Qiqi, when did you become so smart?"

"Of course you have to remember your friend's name. It's not just in your mind, it's an imprint deeply engraved in your heart that you can never forget." Tao Qiqi unconsciously covered his own with his philosophical words. heart.

"Pfft." Yuan Bao wanted to laugh, but seeing Tao Qiqi's serious expression, he had to hold back his smile. "Well, you dare to say such nasty things. Pfft."

Tao Qiqi rolled his eyes at Yuan Bao. "Where is it pissing? I think this sentence is really good." Tao Qiqi grabbed a book on the left hand side, raised it and pointed to a sentence. "What this man said was so touching. I was about to cry. Did you see that? You are not allowed to say anything about Jiang Hetian. He is my only friend and bosom friend in this life. It is impossible for me to forget him just because of your words." , I will remember his name and his person for the rest of my life. Not only in my mind, but also deeply engraved in my heart, a brand that will never be forgotten.'”

"Jiang Hetian?" Yuan Bao seemed to have heard this person's name somewhere, thought for a while, and finally rang.Yuan Bao sat up from the soft couch in an instant. "Wait, isn't this the 'Pao Guo Zhi' I was reading?"

"Baoguozhi" is a realistic heroic biography that is popular in the whole country at present, and everyone regardless of gender, age or age basically has a copy.Men read it because of the passion and passion of the characters in the book, women read it because there are many heroic men they yearn for in the book, old people read it because they want to understand the current situation outside the customs, and few read it because they read the book The characters in it are regarded as future goals.

Yuan Bao is without exception one of the thousands of readers of this "Report to the Country".

"That's right, I took a peek just now." Tao Qiqi didn't see Yuan Bao's expression at the moment, but expressed his opinion on the book in a straight-forward manner. "This book is so beautiful, young master, remember to lend it to me to study after you finish reading it."

"..." Yuan Bao walked quickly to the desk, took the "Reporting the Country" from Tao Qiqi's hand, and brought the topic back to the previous one. "Tao Qiqi, what about the Analects I asked you to copy?"

"Copying..." Tao Qiqi lowered his head and saw that the few lines he had copied had been completely wiped out and drowned in ink. "Well, uh, why is it all black? Ah, I know, they think they are too far away and lonely, so they huddled together." Tao Qiqi pretended to be stupid for his negligence.

Yuan Bao took a deep breath, smiled, and smiled very gently, without even a hint of anger in his words. "Tao Qiqi, remember to hand over the copied Analects to me when the cock crows tomorrow morning...five times."

"Ah?" Tao Qiqi looked at Yuan Bao in shock, wanting to beg for mercy, but was so frightened by Yuan Bao's creepy expression that he swallowed the words back and obeyed instead. "Yes, master."
