Longyang Anecdote

March in Yangzhou is a good time for spring willows to grow and grass to fly. Look at Yangzhou City, at the entrance of Shangtang Xiyu Erdao Street, in front of a house, standing a man and a woman, one fat and one thin, two People, among them, the fatter woman dressed up, muttered, with angry eyes, and muttered, "I don't know what the young master is thinking, how can you live in such a house, and no one is allowed to look after you, just to learn , I can’t do it at home, so I have to come to such a dilapidated place.”

The thinner one turned his head, wow, what a handsome young man, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, look at his brows are picturesque, like water, red lips and white teeth, like proud snow and red plums, that's right. Passers-by, also have to take a look at it, secretly thinking, which son is born so well?

This person is no one else, but the treasure in the palm of Gao's family, the magistrate of Yangzhou, called Gao Nianxiao's young master.

The young master of the Gao family was a little impatient at the moment, he pressed his red lips lightly with his white teeth, and said in a loud voice, "Nurse, don't make noise, I want to be quiet. Although this place is a bit ugly, it is better than being clean and pleasant. I am very happy. You Let's go."

The nanny refused, and dragged on and on, telling the young master to remember to add more quilts at night, and then talking about not wanting a girl, the mother-in-law would always send a servant to take care of the young master.

Gao Nianxiao was very impatient, but this nanny has been taking care of him since he was a child, so it's not easy to lose face, besides, the young master of the Gao family has been elegant since he was a child, and he treats people kindly and gently, but he has never blushed with others, so he just doesn't like it. The old lady was patient, but she only frowned slightly. She definitely didn't have the temper of the young master, and would beat and scold him when things went wrong.

Declining the nanny to send the boy, the nanny wants to say it again, Gao Nianxiao has passed the burden and stopped talking, only then did the nanny realize that she borrowed the money, let go of it embarrassingly, and turned around three times and walked away.

Only then did Young Master Gao let out a long sigh of relief, and finally stepped into the gate of the courtyard.

This house was originally a dilapidated house that his family didn't want. This time, for his rural exam in June, Tete begged his father to find a clean place to prepare for the exam.

His father and elder brother thought about it for a while, the prefect of Yangzhou is not big or small, and he has some status in Yangzhou. There are inevitably guests at home every day, which is really not conducive to Gao Nianxiao's preparation for the exam.

Thinking about it this way, the elder brother clapped his hands and smiled, and said, "I remember our family had a house at the intersection of Xiyuerdao Street. Grandpa bought it for Dad to study. Dad won the first prize in the exam and then got the seat of magistrate. Our family The courtyard is empty like this, and this time it happens to be used for my younger brother to study."

Gao Zhifu doesn't like love affairs, there is only one wife in the family, his wife gave birth to two children, they are brother Gao Nianxiao, this brother didn't like reading when he was a child, he loves to make plans, no matter how Gao Zhifu beats him, he has no choice but to let him Became a bad businessman.

Fortunately, the youngest son is sensible and obedient, and he likes to read books, so Gao Zhifu is very happy. The elder brother also feels that there is a younger brother, so the father will not embarrass him. It is rare in the Gao family that the father is kind and filial, and the brothers are respectful, and it is also passed on in the public A good story.

The house looked dilapidated from the outside, but it was clean and tidy on the inside. It can be seen that the elder brother took care of it and cleaned it specially, for fear that the younger brother would not live well.

Young Master Gao looked at it casually, he never asked for anything outside of his body, but only loved books. At a young age, he became like a pedantic old man, who didn't know how to enjoy himself, and preferred to study hard.

After looking at the house, he went straight to the study room and read the book. After reading it, it was an afternoon. When he recovered, it was already dark, so he rubbed his stomach, lit the lantern, and picked up a book of poetry. Then the lantern was lit, and I walked into the kitchen while watching.

The courtyard is neither big nor small, with the second entry courtyard, the hall and study in the front, plus a warm pavilion, and the kitchen and stables in the back, plus a bunk for the servants to live in.

A gust of wind blows, just blows out the lantern in his hand, leaving only smoke curling up, only the sound of wind coming from all around, everything is quiet, Young Master Gao was startled, he touched it with him, and he forgot to bring a fire pocket, muttering, I had no choice but to walk forward in the dark.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't see the road clearly, so he stumbled with his left foot and right foot, hurriedly stabilized his body, but accidentally threw the book of poems out.

He hurried to pick it up, but stretched out a big pale hand from nowhere, picked up the Book of Songs and stood up, "Book of Songs?"

Young Master Gao was startled, and hurriedly raised his head to look, but there was a lot of darkness around him, and he could vaguely see a tall silhouette, and he really couldn't see his face clearly. He only felt that this person had a clear voice, and he had a slight liking for him. Thinking about today Only then did the nanny understand what the nanny said, and said, "You are the servant that the nanny hired? You can't tell, but you won't listen. Alas, that's all, you can stay here and serve me."

The man had a half-smile, "Little boy?"

Gao Nianxiao glanced at him, patted the dust on his body, "What's wrong? No?"

"No no no." The man said, "I am indeed a servant."

Only then did Young Master Gao say, "What are you still doing in a daze, come and give me a hand."

It was really strange that the man helped him up. He just put one arm on his waist and put his other arm around his shoulder. It was like hugging him instead of helping him. He was not so close to others before, so he quickly reached out. Pushed, but didn't care to touch that person's hand, only felt it was bitingly cold, so cold that he shivered, and said, "Why are your hands so cold?"

The man paused, and said with a smile, "Maybe it's the wind, young master, don't blame it."

Saying this, the man picked up the lantern on the ground, took out the fire folder, and lit it up. Gao Nianxiao saw the man clearly, and couldn't help being surprised. It's really not like a servant.

But this man was dressed plainly, he didn't look like a wealthy family, perhaps because his family was poor, so he came out to find work.

Thinking about it this way, Young Master Gao felt a bit of sympathy and admiration for this person, and his words were much gentler, "The back is dilapidated, has not been tidied up, and is uninhabitable, so you can sleep with me in the Nuan Pavilion."

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, young master."

When the two of them walked to the back kitchen, someone brought food from the small door at the back every day and put it in the kitchen. After the two of them had finished eating, Young Master Gao picked up the Book of Songs and went back to the study room. , I'll sleep later."

The man nodded.

Gao Nianxiao walked a few steps, then came back, tapped his forehead, and said, "By the way, look at my memory, what's your name?"

The man thought for a while and said, "He Sheng."

"Good name."

In this way, this young man called He Sheng lived in Nuan Pavilion, and his hands and feet were diligent. After a while, he packed up his things, fetched a basin of hot water, and went to the study to ask the young master to rest.

He also felt sleepy, so he went back to the Nuan Pavilion. After freshening up, he looked at a basin of hot water on the floor and asked, "What is this for?"

He Sheng replied, "The young master is tired, so he specially brought water to let the young master soak his feet, soothe the muscles and bones."

This March is cold in spring, the night is darker and dew is heavier, it is much colder than the daytime, it is really spacious to soak your feet, Gao Nianxiao secretly thought that this young man was on the road, he was so happy that he took off his shoes and socks and soaked his feet Come.

Feeling comfortable, I saw the young man squatting down, stretching out his hands to hold Gao Nianxiao's jade feet, and began to rub them.

This young master Gao was itchy from being rubbed by him, he laughed and asked, "You... what are you doing?"

He Sheng said, "Rub the little one for the young master."

Just look at Gao Nianxiao's delicate and lovely pair of jade feet, with round fingers and white insteps, rubbed by He Sheng like this, until they turn red, they look more and more lovely.

Young Master Gao really felt his heart itch, he repeatedly touched the water with his feet, pushed He Sheng, tears welled up in the corner of his eyes, and begged for mercy, "Okay, okay, don't rub it anymore, it tickles me to death."

That and Sheng smiled, did not speak, picked up the basin and went outside to pour it out.

Young Master Gao smiled for a while, then picked up the book again, lay down on the couch and read it, waited for a while, but no one came in, he was a little strange, then he saw He Sheng came in again with a basin of water, turned his back to him and took off his coat Trousers, leaving only a pair of white obscene (male) trousers (positive), nestled in the corner, and started to scrub.

Na Hesheng's body is bronze in color, his muscles are tight, and the water beads follow his movements, and he is not in the obscene (cheap) trousers (bright). Young Master Gao's eyes get hot when he sees it, and he hastily shifted his eyes and began to read, but this While reading, the pair of scissored pupils found that person again.

He Sheng turned around and happened to meet him directly, Gao Nianxiao was stunned for a moment, his face turned red, he quickly avoided his eyes and pretended to go to study.

He Sheng didn't point it out either, he smiled to himself, picked up the water basin and poured it out, walking up to Young Master Gao, naked, and said, "Master, there is only one quilt in Nuan Pavilion, where can I sleep? "

Young Master Gao got up and looked around, but he did not see a place where people could sleep, and he didn't like to divide the status of master and servant, so he said, "In that case, you should sleep together with me."

After all, he lifted the brocade quilt and let people get in.

As soon as he entered, the young master of the Gao family felt a little regretful. He and Sheng had long arms and legs, so they inevitably collided. However, the bed was only this size, and there was nowhere to avoid it, not to mention, this man was still whispering in his ear , "Master's hands and feet are cold, I will warm you up."

After finishing speaking, he stuck his hands and feet together, and the big callused hands couldn't stop rubbing on his body, euphemistically calling it fever.

That messy hand made him numb, itchy and frightened, he wanted to stop, but he was a little bit reluctant to get up, so he bit his lip and shut his mouth, refusing to speak.

He Sheng saw that he was silent, his eyes were tightly closed, but his brows were slightly frowned, and his face was also flushed. He knew that he was moved, so he laughed softly, "How about serving you, little one?" ?”

That Gao Nianxiao has only been able to read and write since he was a child, not to mention Fireworks and Willow Lane, he is just a housekeeper, and he has nothing to do. Wherever he went through the personnel affairs, He Sheng took advantage of the loopholes, making people's hearts itchy, and his legs couldn't stop. Live in a dawdle.

How did Gao Nianxiao know about these crooked ways, he hesitated, "Aren't you just serving me?"

He Sheng showed his face with a smile, and lowered his big hands, causing Gao Nianxiao's waist to tremble, and said, "Serve me better, okay?"

If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter.
