[Comprehensive martial arts] A scholar who is useless

"..." Shu Mingshen seemed a little embarrassed, slowly put down the chopsticks that were still in his mouth, covered his lips and coughed lightly, and said to the ninth son beside him: "Brother Dongfang, he just doesn't like having outsiders at home. , you have no ill intentions towards Brother Ninth, if there is any impoliteness, please don't take offense to Ninth Young Master."

Hearing the words, the Ninth Young Master laughed quickly and said: "Brother Shu, you have to worry too much. This Young Master Dongfang is bold and unrestrained, and he is the one we should admire. Blame the other party?"

Shu Mingshen couldn't help but said gratefully: "Brother Ninth is indeed a man of temperament! If this is the case, I can rest assured."

"..." Young Master Jiu didn't speak, but still looked at Shu Mingshen next to him with a smile on his face, and continued talking to him with excitement.

At noon, Shu Mingshen was tidying up the rooms of the tenants, cleaning the courtyard in front of the door, washing the clothes and sheets accumulated in the past few days, and finishing the few things Huamanlou gave him. After potting the flowers, he turned around and went to the backyard to kill a rooster, planning to make chicken soup for everyone at lunch.

Jiu Gongzi sat by the window, pretending to be reading the books piled up in Mingshen's room, but he was actually observing what the other party was doing.

I saw that Shu Mingshen was fetching water here for a while to wash clothes, and then ran over there to wipe the floor on the corridor. If a tile on the roof was broken, it would be convenient to climb up the ladder to repair it immediately. Dupan went to the chicken coop in the backyard to feed the chickens and sweep the chicken droppings. He was extremely busy.

"..." Jiu Gongzi couldn't help but feel a little funny watching the other party's running around without touching Chen's feet in front of the window.

Although he heard reports from his subordinates that the other party's life was poor, he never thought that it would be so hard.

What is this man busy with, even his servants don't bother to do these messy things...

By noon, lunch had already been served on the table.

But this time Dongfang Bubai is not there, only Shu Mingshen, Jiu Gongzi and Aji are three people.

After Shu Mingshen finished feeding the small dried fish to the neighbor's fat cat that came to his house again for dinner, he finally wiped the hot sweat from his forehead and sat down at the dining table.

"Brother Shu, as a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, do you do these things every day?" Jiu Gongzi looked at him and said jokingly: "If you spend all your time on such trifles, how much time do you have to read?" Sage book?"

Shu Ming heard the words and said honestly: "I can be free in the afternoon!"

"Besides, I'm already very satisfied with the fact that I don't have to go out to look for errands to live without worrying about food and clothing." Shu Ming grabbed his hair deeply and smiled, "Otherwise, I can't lift my hands on my shoulders, even if I go to work as a part-time worker." They might not even take me in."

The Ninth Young Master thought for a while when he heard the words, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Brother reading books, you are quite capable..."

"Laundry, cooking, mending and cleaning are all good at everything." Jiu Gongzi looked at him with a smile and said, "So virtuous, even ordinary women's boudoir girls may not be able to match you, Brother Shu, just in case."

"..." Shu Mingshen was a little blushed when he was teased by the other party. In fact, he was also forced to mend the torn clothes. women's affairs", but life forced him to do it.

"..." Aji was still silently eating with his head down on the opposite side. After a while, he put down his rice bowl, coughed lightly, stood up and said, "Cough, I'm done eating..."

I wanted to turn around and leave directly and neatly like every time, but before I left, I hesitated, turned around and said to Shu Ming, "I'm going out to find something to do in the afternoon, the two of you are at home is that OK?"

Shuming looked at him with a deep smile, waved his hands and said: "It's okay, Aji, you can go yourself, don't worry!"

"..." Aji turned his head to look at him for a while after hearing the words, and then finally turned around and walked out the door.

"This Brother Aji doesn't seem to like to talk much?" Young Master Jiu raised his eyebrows as he watched Aji leave, and said to Shuming with a smile.

Shu Ming nodded deeply and said: "Ah Ji is indeed a bit taciturn, but after you have been in touch with him for a long time, you will know that he is actually a very enthusiastic person!"

He had already heard from the neighbors that Aji was stabbed by those villains in order to save a girl who was bullied in the brothel that day, so he compared this incident with how he was at the beginning. I told the ninth son everything about finding Aji on the street.

After hearing this, Young Master Jiu thought deeply, nodded slowly and said: "I never thought there would be such weird people in this world..."

Seeing Shuming looked at him suspiciously, Master Ninth coughed lightly, leaned on his chest and said, "I'm saying that brother Aji must have some secrets in doing this, but this act of sacrificing oneself for others really makes me feel uncomfortable." People are moved, even I can't help but admire..."

Seeing that Shuming had a proud expression on hearing the words, as if he was also happy for the man named Aji, the ninth son raised his eyebrows, coughed a few more times, rubbed his chest and said, "It's just that I'm going Suddenly I feel a little stuffy in my chest, I'm afraid I just talked too much, ahem, I need to go back and lie down quickly..."

Seeing this, Shu Ming hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and said with a face of self-blame and concern: "It must be that I have talked too much gossip with Brother Ninth just now, which caused Brother Ninth to relapse your old injury. Help you back to your room to rest, Ninth Brother, please be patient for a while, it will be fine soon!"

As he spoke, he carefully helped Young Master Jiu to walk towards the bedroom.

Ninth Young Master put all his weight on the opponent's body, watched Shu Mingshen stagger and finally helped him back to the room half-supported and half-embraced, tucked him in the quilt, and asked for warmth with a concerned expression for a long time After that, he finally walked out the door worriedly.

"..." Jiu Gongzi lay on the warm and comfortable bed and yawned slowly.

In fact, he seldom, or almost never, lived in such a simple room. Even inns he disliked and seldom stayed. In the carriage.

However, for no reason, after living here for two days, it was not as unbearable as he had imagined before.

The room was filled with the fragrance of ink, and the quilt and bed sheets were changed by the scholar, and they had just been exposed to the sun outside, and there was even a warm feeling when they touched his skin...

"..." Jiu Gongzi was too lazy to pay attention to other things, wrapped himself a little tighter with a warm quilt, then yawned and fell asleep...
