Rebirth of the High Sect disciple

Since Sunday was the day when Pei Yixiao had decided to deliver food to Uncle Wu, the two made an appointment to make suits on Saturday.

Pei Yixiao secretly looked at his card.He used his ID card to change the password of the card, and changed it to the date of the day he woke up. At that time, he checked that there were only a few thousand dollars on the card.During the Chinese New Year, I got nearly 15 lucky money from my parents, my eldest brother, my second brother, and some relatives, and there is still 1 yuan on the card every month, which may be pocket money from my family. The last time Su Xun Company Another 1 was called.

The money is used to maintain the car every month and to refill the meal card in the school cafeteria.I spent some when I went out with a few buddies before, and once he squandered it. He went to the club with Yang Hao and asked the hostess to go crazy, and took nearly 10. Almost all of it was spent. Other than that, there is no big use .Then he donated 2000 yuan to the public welfare association every month. If it wasn't for fear of unnecessary troubles caused by donating too much money, he really wanted to keep only 2000 yuan a month and donate the rest.

Looking at it this way, there were just over 10 points left on the card, which happened to be enough to pay Lu Guantao for a suit.

Pei Yixiao's heart hurts.

On Saturday, Lu Guantao drove his own car, took Pei Yixiao with him and went to make suits.Seeing that the car did not go in the direction of those large shopping malls and office buildings, but got into a small alley again, Pei Yixiao asked strangely, "Where are you driving? Where are you going to make suits?"

"Just follow me." Lu Guantao didn't say it directly.

Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of a tidy courtyard, which was a little smaller than the courtyard where we ate last time, but it was also elegant and extraordinary, with a few pomegranate trees planted there.A middle-aged man greeted him, saw Lu Guantao, leaned forward and smiled: "Young Master Lu, you are here."

Lu Guantao's attitude was very modest, "Master Xue, hello. I called yesterday. Is Master Gongsun in?"

"Master, the old man went to take the measurement for a chief executive, and he may not come back in a while. Please come in and wait a moment. I'm really sorry. I had promised you to come today, but the chief executive called suddenly this morning and said I want to go abroad for a visit, and I have to order a few sets of clothes, so the master rushed over," the middle-aged master Xue said apologetically, "Young Master Lu, I'm really sorry, look, if you don't mind, just wait for my master to come back Arrange it later, okay?"

Pei Yixiao listened to the gentle voice of the middle-aged man, and suddenly felt awe.Those who can speak in this way are more noble than those with loud voices.It's not because of his identity, but because of his environment.

Lu Guantao felt a little regretful, but he still said: "It doesn't matter, I am willing to wait. Or, if Master Gongsun can arrange it, Master Xue can do it for me."

Master Xue just smiled and welcomed the two into a room with simple and elegant furniture.After a while, a female worker who appeared to be in her 30s came in with a tray and served tea to the two of them in delicate and unique cups.

Master Xue was talking with the two of them, "Young Master Lu, what a coincidence. This year, Master pushed away all outside customization, leaving only a few acquainted customers from aristocratic families. Hearing that you are coming to make suits, I am still childlike." Ming told me that I want to make some new styles for you. Who knew that I received a call from the secretary of the head this morning. The head also heard it from nowhere, saying that Master did a good job and was the first I don’t know that our rule is that we need to come here to measure the size, but also ask the master to go there by himself. When the master left, he said that he must keep you when you come, he has his own propriety.”

Lu Guantao drank his tea and said lightly: "It's nothing. Master Gongsun is getting old, so it's right to reject some customizations. Master Xue, you are also a good hand now, but you can help Master Gongsun a lot." He deliberately didn't ask Which head is it? If you want to work for Master Gongsun, it should be at the level of deputy prime minister.His mind was spinning, and he thought about who would visit abroad for a while... Oh, it's that one, not from the Jingcheng Gang...

This master Gongsun has a lot of background. His master's master's master's master was originally a costume maker for the imperial court. Their school can be regarded as a clothing school. They never make clothes for ordinary people, only for dignitaries.This may sound hypocritical, but he has a lot of rules, no matter how big the official is, if he wants to make it himself, he can also get the measurement here, and he can't ask for the style, he can only choose according to the model he gave.And his regular customers are basically big families with a solid foundation in the capital, and there are even a few descendants of the original old princes.

Pei Yixiao listened stupidly, but had nothing to say.That master Xue looked at him with a smile when he started to say hello, and basically ignored him afterwards.

Lu Guantao looked over to him from time to time and gave him a nod and a smile.This made him feel a little warm in his heart.

After about an hour, there was a sound at the door, Master Xue stood up and said, "Master is here."

A few people went out to watch, and an old man with gray hair and a slender waist stood at the door, talking to a secretary-like person.

The secretary said in a relaxed tone: "Master Gongsun, thank you very much today. I didn't expect that you have been making clothes here for so many years. When will you make me a suit?"

Master Gongsun refused without raising his eyes, "I'm sorry, I can't finish my regular customers for a year, and I won't accept new customers."

The secretary didn't expect that he didn't even say a polite word, and he was a little embarrassed, and said something like "please hurry up and do it for the chief".

The old man said directly: "That's impossible. It takes at least two months to make a set of handmade clothes. Other chiefs want to go abroad to make clothes, and they tell me at least half a year in advance. Let me make six sets a month. Then you really don’t understand the market. I’m sorry, but I can’t do it, or you should find another place.”

The secretary didn't seem to have expected this, and after a long pause, he said, "Don't, don't, Master Gongsun, how long do you think it will take?"

"This handmade clothing needs to be done delicately, skillfully, and meticulously. Naturally, the longer the better. But the chief is in a hurry. Of course, I have to catch up with night work, but it's not what I just said. That’s the price, and a 30% rush fee has to be added. Why don’t you go back and ask the chief, this month, get him two sets first, and wear them with other clothes. The remaining four sets will take five months. Pick."

The secretary complied awkwardly and walked out.

Master Gongsun came in expressionlessly, looked up and saw Lu Guantao, there was a little smile in his eyes, but his face was still calm, "Master Lu, here we come."

"Master Gongsun," Lu Guantao said with a smile on his face, "You have worked hard."

"What's the hard work?" Master Gongsun snorted, and casually threw a clip in his hand to Master Xue beside him, "Xiao Xuezi, here are the sizes, make two sets for him according to the pattern 01, 02, and 03 , you and Xiao Xie, Xiao Huang, Xiao Tan, and Xiao Ran will make it together, and make it for him within a month."

"Master!" Master Xue seemed quite surprised, "But the chief asked you to do it yourself. How can my craftsmanship be as good as yours? Xiao Tan and Xiao Ran can only make corners, how can they make clothes? Moreover, those three styles are too old..."

"Huh! Talkative!" Master Gongsun was very dignified, "I want to make clothes for Young Master Lu, how can I have time to make clothes for him? I let you take them to do it and you do it. What are you talking about? How many years are those three styles? Do you have a share in the classic model?"

Master Xue was a little afraid of him, so he agreed, "Yes."

Lu Guantao smiled, "Master Gongsun, thank you very much."

Master Gongsun now had a smile on his face, "I have some new models here, just waiting for you to come. Well, yes, your boy is well maintained, and your figure is not out of shape. My old man loves you like this I have made clothes based on my body shape, so I don’t lose my shape in anything!”

Lu Guantao laughed, "I keep fit every day just to wear your clothes..."

Pei Yixiao stood by, no one paid any attention to him, but he was quite shocked.

The capital city is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Even though you are powerful, there are still some people who don't like you, and some places that don't accept you...

He followed Lu Guantao and Master Gongsun into a studio.It's not as neat as the outside here. A lot of clothes are stacked in one corner. In the center of the room is a super-large flat workbench with rulers, scissors and other items stacked on it.

Master Gongsun asked Lu Guantao to stand on a low round platform, and then looked him up and down.He measured his arms and thighs with his hand, nodded and said, "Yes, it really hasn't changed much, but the right upper arm is a little thicker, the left upper arm is half a little thicker, and the circumference of his thigh is two minutes thicker. Everything else remains the same. The last size was fine."

Pei Yixiao was surprised again, can this be measured by hand?And it's accurate to the point!

"Still the same, make two different sets?" Master Gongsun was recording something with a pen.

Lu Guantao shook his head, "I will do three sets this year."

"Three sets?" Old man Gongsun frowned, "Why, my old man's clothes, as long as you don't lose your shape, you can wear them for ten or twenty years. How can you have so many sets?"

How could Lu Guantao dare to say that one set was ruined, he just said: "Don't I also want to go abroad? I also get Yanhuang's advanced customization to show off in front of foreigners."

The old man Gongsun responded with a smile.

Lu Guantao went on to say: "Master Gongsun, this one, I have to trouble you to make a set here." He didn't say "you do it", but "you do it here".After thinking about it, he also knew that old man Gongsun would not make clothes for strangers casually.

Master Gongsun didn't refuse, and glanced at Pei Yixiao, "This kid looks okay, young master Lu, your friend? Let's make a set for him."

"Thank you."

Pei Yixiao was surprised when he saw that the topic was brought up to him.Where did he get the money to make clothes here!It would be nice to pay Lu Guantao a set! "Brother Lu, I..." He wanted to say, I have something to wear, so I don't need to do it.

But Lu Guantao stopped him with his eyes.

Master Gongsun was a little unhappy, "What's the matter, this young master still doesn't want to make clothes with me?"

Lu Guantao rushed to say: "How can it be? He is happy, but he is not very good at talking yet."

The old man hummed, "If it wasn't for the sake of bringing it yourself, I would have done it for him?"

Lu Guantao winked at the old man behind his back, Pei Yixiao finally suppressed the desire to speak, and stood on the round platform where Lu Guantao was standing just now, the old man's golden eyes swept over him, Pei Yixiao felt like It was like being naked in front of him, feeling uncomfortable.Thinking back to Lu Guantao's relaxed attitude just now, he hurriedly tried to relax himself.

The old man used a soft ruler to measure him all over his body and recorded the various sizes.After measuring for half an hour, I said "OK".

Pei Yixiao stood stiffly. Hearing this, every bone in his body wanted to collapse, but he didn't dare.Still maintaining a good manner, he stepped off the round platform.He didn't see a slight appreciation in the eyes of the old man behind him.

After both of them finished measuring, the old man started to chase people away, "Master Lu, the old rules, one and a half months for one set."

Lu Guantao especially emphasized, "Then do the last set first."

The old man was taken aback, "You mean to be the young master first?"

Lu Guantao nodded affirmatively.

Master Gongsun shrugged, "You are the customer, you have the final say."

Master Gongsun just sent them out of the house and said "Go well".The master Xue just now may have been making clothes, so he didn't come out.The two walked out the door through the quiet courtyard.

Pei Yixiao looked back at the mottled red paint on the half-covered door, and felt that the time and space inside were passing much slower than outside.

After getting into Lu Guantao's car, Pei Yixiao said, "Brother Lu, why did you do this to me? I, my money is only enough to compensate you."

Lu Guantao just wrote lightly: "It's okay, let's talk about it when the clothes come."

Just as Pei Yixiao was about to say something, his phone rang, and he took it out to see that it was from Pei Yiming.Since he left a note last week saying that he lived in Tianhai Garden, he also called home one or two times to report his safety.Shen Qinglian picked it up every time, and I haven't talked to my second brother for a week, so I really miss it.Quickly pick it up, "Second brother!"

Pei Yiming was very happy to hear the excitement in his voice, "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, nothing." Pei Yixiao glanced at Lu Guantao.

Pei Yiming said: "I haven't seen you for a week, why don't you go home on weekends?"

"Uh, I..."

"Come home for dinner today? Second brother misses you a lot, and mom has been talking about it with me for several days."

Hearing what Pei Yiming said, Pei Yixiao immediately nodded, "Okay, I'm going home today!"

Pei Yiming was on the other end of the phone, and he could almost imagine his cute appearance, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, we'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Pei Yixiao was still very happy, "Brother Lu, I'm going home today!"

"Alright..." Lu Guantao looked indifferent, "I'm going back to the government compound today, just to see you off."

In the past two days, Lu Guantao's attitude has really improved a lot, Pei Yixiao was a little surprised, "Then thank you Brother Lu."

He was about to say, how about I stay at home at night, so he heard Lu Guantao say, "I'll pick you up at 08:30, and we'll go back together at night."

Pei Yixiao wanted to refute, but finally said "Yes".

The corner of Lu Guantao's mouth curled up almost invisibly.

When they got home, Pei Yiming called him and went to watch a movie. The two brothers discussed the meaning of "Cloud Atlas" for a long time until Mrs. Wang called them to dinner.It was rare that both Pei Weiguo and Shen Qinglian were there, and they asked Pei Yixiao about his life and school for a week while eating, and he answered them one by one in an orderly manner.Pei Weiguo was very pleased.

After dinner, the family eats fruit in the living room.Pei Yiming was about to take Pei Yixiao out to have fun, when his phone rang.

Pei Yixiao went to the side to pick it up, Pei Yiming only heard him say in a low voice: "Didn't you say 08:30?..."

After a while, Pei Yixiao returned to the living room, and said a little uneasy: "Dad, Mom, Second Brother, well, I have something to do early tomorrow morning, and it belongs to the school's charity association. I have to go back to Tianhai Garden to prepare."

Pei Weiguo waved his hand, "Go, it's better to participate in more activities outside."

Shen Qinglian urged: "Xiao Xiao, studying is very important, but don't be too tired, ah, pay attention to your body..."

Pei Yiming felt uncomfortable, remembering that Pei Yixiao said that he had not acted with people from the charity association for a long time."Did you come here by car?" he asked.

Pei Yixiao shook his head, "I'll take a taxi back."

Pei Yiming stood up and said, "I'm going out to meet my friends, I'll take you back."

Pei Yixiao seemed a little surprised, "Uh, no need, second brother..."

Pei Yiming insisted, and Shen Qinglian agreed.Pei Yixiao had no choice but to follow him down.

As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, Pei Yiming saw Lu Guantao's car parked there from a long distance, and there was still someone in the driver's seat.He deliberately pretended not to see, and walked over to drive his own car.

Pei Yixiao kept looking over there, waved his hands again, and secretly pointed at Pei Yiming.Pei Yiming, who was turning around, looked straight at him, "Xiao Xiao, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Pei Yixiao stuck out her tongue.

As soon as he got in the car, Pei Yixiao sent a text message to Lu Guantao to explain the situation.Lu Guantao did not return.

Pei Yiming started the car and drove out of the government compound.In the rearview mirror, I saw Lu Guantao's car following behind.

When driving to Tianhai Garden, Pei Yiming stopped, looked sideways at Pei Yixiao seriously, and asked him: "Tell the second brother honestly, are you... in love?"

"What?" Pei Yixiao choked on his saliva, "Ahem, cough, no, no, second brother, why are you asking that!"

"Xiao Xiao, the second brother is telling the truth," Pei Yiming said earnestly, "You know the situation in our family, every step is not easy. If you just hold hands and talk about love in school, then it doesn't matter , once it’s true, we have to see who it is.” People like Lu Guantao are absolutely unacceptable.

"Second brother, what are you talking about..." Pei Yixiao thought to himself, where is this with whom? What kind of love is this with, with whom?

Pei Yiming stared into his eyes again and asked, "Tell me, do you have someone you like?"

Pei Yixiao moved his butt on the chair, "Second brother, don't make fun of me, how can I have someone I like?"

Pei Yiming could see the innocence in his eyes, and breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.After a while, he joked, "You don't even like the second brother?"

"Ouch! So you want to say this, so of course I like the second brother, and I also like my father, mother, elder brother, and little Kunkun! Of course, my sister-in-law dare not like it, haha!"

Pei Yiming was a little disappointed again, "So I'm not special..."

"Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Pei Yixiao felt a little weird, "Second brother, I really don't like anyone, don't worry about me. You..." He paused, and said, "Second brother You are the most important person to me, and I am very, very grateful to you."

"You guy," Pei Yiming became happy again, "you're quite provocative."

"Really, second brother, I didn't lie to you." Pei Yixiao said very intently: "You have been helping me, and many things are due to you... Anyway, I am really grateful to you."

"Okay, second brother knows." Pei Yiming rubbed his hairy head, "Go back quickly."

"Ah."

Pei Yixiao's figure disappeared at the door of Building F, Pei Yiming started the car, and as expected saw Lu Guantao's car parked in the distance.

He began to think, is Pei Yixiao and Lu Guantao the kind of relationship he thought?Pei Yixiao doesn't seem to be lying, that is, he really doesn't have any special feelings for Lu Guantao...then...why do they live together?
