hard work

Chapter 5

Ku Tong dreamed of the boy again.

He said he was a young man, but he was only five years old in his dream.But that boy was half a head taller than him, and always asked him where he wanted to go with a mellow smile, but Kutong shook his head ignorantly, trying to see his face clearly but it was always blurred.

The young man laughed wantonly, and dragged him to run through the streets and alleys of Gaoping County. Even though the streets were so bustling, there was not even a single person in sight.

Ku Tong felt a little apprehensive, but still followed the young man out of the city gate and arrived at the foot of the familiar Fenglan Mountain.In an instant, the day was shrouded in darkness, and it turned into night in an instant.

But the young man dragged him up the mountain tirelessly, and the fragrant peach blossom forest was shrouded in gray mist at this moment, and there were howling wolves in the distance, adding a sense of eerieness.

Ku Tong was frightened, and pulled the person in front to tell him not to leave. After a long time, he slowly stopped.The boy turned his head and still smiled at him, but he was quite cautious.He even said a few words in a very cold and calm voice: "You don't want to marry that person, okay?"

Ku Tong didn't know how this person knew that he would marry a man in the future, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't speak.The young man laughed again, a very piercing smile, and the leaves of the peach tree rustled, as if changing with his mood.

The boy raised his face sullenly, revealing a pale face, with blood dripping from his wide round eyes, and his voice was even weirder: "He will destroy you...he will destroy you..."

After finishing speaking, he looked up to the sky and smiled, his face became extremely ferocious, "Only I will not hurt you! Only me! Stay with me!"

Ku Tong was so frightened that he opened his eyes suddenly, but the fear in the dream could not be dispelled for a long time, and he took a few breaths before he recovered.

He looked around, and sure enough, he was still in the wing room of Zuimenglou. Kutong's first estrus lasted only three days, but in these three days, Wen Huaizhou has used it to the extreme, not to mention all kinds of tricks. Pressing Kutong Wushan Yunyu... Thinking of this, Kutong's cheeks are still flustered, and he just feels that he is really the incompetent emperor in the picture book, who has done all the dirty things.

Although there are traces of joy/love all over his body, his body and bed sheets are surprisingly clean.In addition to the extreme discomfort behind him, what made him even more uncomfortable was the empty heart, as if longing for a hug or a cold breath.

After this estrus, Wen Huaizhou didn't even leave him a soothing scent, except for the mutilated scar on the back of his neck.

Ku Tong looked out of the window in a daze, three points of confusion in his eyes, seven points of relief.It seems that it is not bad to maintain such a relationship all the time, without breaking the rules and not interfering.

A Yun carried a bucket of hot water into the house, and just entered the room when he saw the bitter boy who had been sleeping for two days woke up, and immediately smiled: "The little one just went to fetch water for his wife, and when he came back, he found that his wife has woken up! Is he still alive?" Are you feeling unwell?"

Kutong shook his head blankly, still a little confused: "Did I sleep for a long time?"

A Yun nodded quickly when she heard the words: "Ma'am, you have not only slept for a long time, but you have slept for two whole days!" As he said, he made a "two" with his fingers.

After hearing this, Ku Tong was extremely shocked, as if he didn't realize it.

Ayun waved his hand as if he didn't care: "The third young master told the little one that this is a normal reaction, so don't worry about it, madam." In fact, Wen Huaizhou's original words were just that he guessed that Ku Tong's body had experienced this. It is estimated that he will fall into a coma for a few days, so don't wake him up, let him rest and go back to the house.

But Ah Yun asked stubbornly, why didn't the third young master wait for his wife to go back together.Wen Huaizhou's cheeks twitched slightly, remembering that when he was out of control, he was blowing the flute to others and slapping himself, he just felt that his face was completely lost, and now he was still watching others with his face, wouldn't it be more to leave people talking.

But when Ah Yun really faced Ku Tong, he naturally wouldn't tell him everything, so he told a little lie.He was afraid that his wife would see something, so he kept watching his expression carefully.

Ku Tong nodded: "The third young master has returned home?"

A Yun's already relaxed heart was immediately picked up again, and he quickly replied: "That's natural! The young master still has business to deal with, so he left first."

Ku Tong, whose face was still pale, nodded lightly, and asked Ah Yun to pack up his things and prepare to go back home.

Ah Yun's heart fell instantly. He heard many people say that Kun Ze, who had just passed the estrus period, was extremely sensitive, but his wife didn't want to be like what they said at all, and she was still so understanding!

Wen Huaizhou returned home, and a stone in Ku Tong's heart was also dropped.

Ah Yun was so quick and quick that he even hired a carriage.Before leaving, Ku Tong subconsciously glanced at the plaque again, but met the gaze of the people upstairs.

The man's slapped face was extremely delicate, his complexion was fair, his almond eyes were red, his eyes were gentle and watery, and there was a mole at the corner of his eye.Such moving eyes stared at Ku Tong but were extremely indifferent at this time, and the whole person was lazily leaning against the window, which actually made Ku Tong feel a bit of contempt.

When Ku Tong saw that beauty, he knew why Wen Huaizhou would stay in this Mengxiang Tower and never return home. It would be understandable if he was with such a beauty.He knew that this person looked at him not in a friendly way, but he knew that this was Wen Huaizhou's sweetheart, so he also hoped that the two of them could get married one day, and he only hoped that one day he could live happily in the world...

Ku Tong hurriedly shook his head, how could he have thought of going so far away, he ignored the man above him and got into the carriage straight away.

After returning home, everyone's eyes on him changed.

In the past, when people saw him doing hard work, they always sneered and their eyes were full of contempt.But now, everyone actually bowed to him when they saw him, their eyes flustered and timid, as if they were afraid that Ku Tong would turn over old scores and punish them for a crime or something.

Kutong is not the kind of person who will take revenge, so he just nodded lightly to this behavior.It has been more than a month since I came to this mansion, and naturally I have learned a lot of principles of dealing with people. I understand that the more people in Wen's mansion think highly of each other, the more ungrateful they are, but the more they treat these people, the more they dare not look down on them.

Although the big house didn't like bitter children, they were naturally happy when they heard the news - this is a good thing for the Wen family.Granny Yin and Granny Chen came over and gave Kutong some medicines to strengthen his body, and also made a special exception that Kutong didn't have to go to the big room to learn etiquette for a week.

The bitter boy was half happy and half worried, thinking that by taking this opportunity, he might not have to go there to be sulking, but it turned out that he really didn't have to go there, but there was still a deadline.

But Ku Tong still wrote it down silently, quietly preparing one thing in his heart.

The next day, last night Wen Huaizhou rested in the big room in Fengyanyuan, he didn't come to bother the poor boy's courtyard, but he was happy to be at ease, dreamless all night, and had a very comfortable sleep.

No, Ku Tong left the courtyard in a hurry at dawn, and only met a few servants sweeping the floor on the way. When the servants saw the concubine of the third young master, no one asked him where he was going. Turning a blind eye. This can be regarded as the first time Ku Tong visited this Wenfu. He only felt that this courtyard is so huge, and he found this other courtyard after turning a small corner and taking a lot of detours.

It took three poles of poor children to find this yard every day.

Yayuan.

The location here is extremely remote, surrounded by only a large bamboo forest, and there is no other courtyard adjacent to it.But under the stone arch, there are overgrown weeds, and there is no servant here to guard it.

This is the place where Huai Lan lived before his death.

Ku Tong suppressed the sadness in his heart, pushed aside the weeds and stepped in slowly.Sure enough, there were a few tuberoses planted on the flower beds on both sides, but they were basically all withered.

He carefully plucked the only flower that hadn't withered yet. The yard was really small, and after a few steps, he came to the door of the house.

Ku Tong sighed deeply, this place is also overgrown with weeds, plaques are crooked across the lintel, cobwebs are covering the doors and windows here, and dust visible to the naked eye is flying in the air.But Ku Tong still wanted to go in and have a look.

All the furniture was there, but it was covered with dust.Although Ku Tong came in covering his mouth and nose, unexpectedly his nasal cavity was itchy from choking, and he sneezed shockingly, raising another layer of dust.

Since then, Ku Tong had to go out, but found that his body was covered in ashes.He smiled helplessly and had no choice but to go back to the side courtyard to change the clothes.

Wen Huaizhou had been discussing state affairs with Wen Zhengting in the study since he went to court too early that day.

Wen Zhengting was worried at the moment, and his brows were raised upwards. Although he was gray-haired, he still did not lose the majesty and majesty of beheading his opponents back then.He walked around the house with his hands folded, seemingly worried, while Wen Huaizhou, on the contrary, sat on the sidelines calmly sipping tea, meditating in silence.

Wen Zhengting sighed, and asked the youngest but most intelligent child, "Huaizhou, do you have any countermeasures for this matter?"

Wen Huaizhou pondered for a moment, then gently put down the exquisite teacup in his hand, and then said to his father: "Although I, Yongchang, have established diplomatic relations with many nomads for many years, I have never heard of so many Turkic people entering Beijing. It is said that there are hundreds of miles, so it is impossible to come here on a whim. Second, the Turks live under the high mountains all the year round, and the altitude is extremely high. It is impossible for the Turks who have already adapted to the plateau climate to come to the dry Hoping. I can get used to it in a while..."

"Unless..." Wen Zhengting replied thoughtfully, but the answer was already clear to both of them.

Unless these people had a strategy, they were prepared to come to the Central Plains, and they made a special medicine or something to suppress this acclimatization, and it was not unusual for these Turkic people to come to the Central Plains.

Wen Huaizhou had a cold look in his eyes: "Not only that, there must be a Central Plains person here to support him."

Wen Zhengting nodded seriously, indeed, if this person hadn't been a hindrance, these Turkic people would not have been allowed to enter this place so naturally.Wen Huaiting sat in front of the case and had already drawn up the document to be presented to the emperor, among which "elimination of spies" was the top priority.

Seeing this, Wen Huaizhou left without saying goodbye, and Wen Huaiting had already gotten used to it, and devoted himself to writing the documents before the case.

After leaving, Wen Huaizhou stretched his waist, looked at the dusk and admired it for a while, then walked back to Fengyan Garden.

But at this moment, he did not return to his own room, but instead entered a unique courtyard.

A Yun in the side courtyard is sweeping the floor in all manner of rascals, Yanhua Yanying doesn't know where to go to play, but the doctor Feng Qinghe is sitting in the courtyard chatting with A Yun.

Wen Huaizhou couldn't help frowning, I don't know why this servant in the side courtyard is so lazy, and that person who is very unfamiliar, sitting in the courtyard and started drinking tea, it seems that he has no manners.

Seeing a person walking over there, Ah Yun thought it was his master who had returned to the house, so he hurried up to greet him: "Madam, you are finally back."

Wen Huaizhou frowned when he heard this: "Where did this poor boy go?"

At the beginning, he didn't even know his name, but at least he was a husband and wife, so he asked Mrs. Wen and found out that he was a young monk who had not been ordained, so he called this name now. Also a little awkward.

A Yun was shocked when he heard this, and quickly knelt down to kowtow to Wen Huaizhou: "Third Young Master, why are you here? Before you come, you can order someone to notify you. Our place is petty, so it's not good to neglect you... ..."

Wen Huaizhou only thought it was ridiculous, and wanted to make an announcement when he came to his room?But he was too lazy to refute this obstinate servant, and asked sharply: "I'm asking you, where did Kutong go?"

Ah Yun just trembled and shook his head, ever since Ku Tong was in heat in the brothel last time, he has been afraid for no reason when he looks at this master.Now I can only say "I really don't know".

Wen Huaizhou thought he was bored, and turned to look at another person in the yard, this person was very sensible, and he had already stood up when he saw that the timing was not right.

Feng Qinghe smiled and made a deep bow to him: "I have heard for a long time that the third young master's mansion is famous. The villain has just entered the mansion for a month. He is a half-way monk and a doctor. I think the third master who is always busy has never seen me. Forgive me." Let me introduce first, my surname is Feng, Aunt Yin recommended me to come in."

Wen Huaizhou raised his eyebrows, he felt that this person was very interesting, he spoke in an orderly manner, he was really different from that Ayun.He also nodded slightly, but didn't say a word to this person, because Wen Huaizhou always felt that this person's refined aura was very much like his second brother, hypocritical and tactful.

Just in time, the bitter boy who was covered in dust finally came back.Seeing that Ah Yun knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time, he hurriedly called him.Seeing Kutong, Ayun almost shed tears, and shouted aggrievedly: "Madam...you are finally back..."

Ku Tong didn't know what had happened, and when he was about to pull him up, he put a hand behind him, holding his collar and asked:

"Did you fall into a coal mine? Why is it dirtier than the beggars on the street?"

Ku Tong couldn't help but feel ashamed when he heard the familiar voice, and sighed deeply.

This disgusting tone of voice, this foul-smelling countenance, was definitely Wen Huaizhou's fault.
