Ji Yu

After taking the Juren Examination, I suddenly felt relieved.In my free time, I can climb mountains, swim in lakes, grow flowers, drink tea...

There are also things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that were considered arty in the past, but now they are done comfortably and calmly.Because the situation is different, the mentality is also relaxed.

In the past, I didn't like the sunrise, I didn't like to watch the scenery, and I didn't like to communicate with people.Now I often get up early to climb the mountain to watch the sunrise, and when I am resting, I patiently make a pot of tea, admire the flowers I have cultivated, or take a nap on the lake.

When you are in a good state of mind, you feel that you can enjoy everything in your life, and every plant and tree is touching.Even the scholars of the same year who were originally impatient with each other seemed to be pleasing to the eye, and a few of them who had a good temper often came and went.

Qiyu is impatient to get up early, and she is usually very concerned about the business of the silk shop, so she often misses the time when I go out for activities.But we are not children anymore, there is no need to do everything together.He is indeed not interested in these things, he still likes real money.I also like money, but because I don't have the pressure to survive, and I don't have a wife and children to support, so I don't have much motivation to make money.

"Third Master, someone sent an letter in, and there is a carriage outside the door."

"Let me see it", I smiled slightly, and which friend asked me to go out to play together, so why not do this.

"Ji Yu:

It's been more than a year since we last said goodbye.I have arrived in Lecheng, today I invite you to go out for a gathering.

"Shao"

I was startled, it turned out that the debt collector came.Then he smiled, it's good to be here early.After getting rid of these troubles, I can leave Xiaoyao early.

Then he changed his clothes and went out, and got into the carriage.The carriage brought me to the lake, and Gu Shao stood by the lake, facing the water.

"gentlemen."

He looked back at me and smiled slightly, "You are here, can you sail a boat?"

I nodded.

He got into a small boat, and I followed immediately, paddling away from the lake.

"The scenery here is good, and it's also a good place to talk."

No wonder I need to row the boat myself. In the center of the lake, talking to two people is really the safest thing to do.

"After teaching you on and off for four years, you only called me sir today."

I put the food and wine in the food basket on the small table one by one, and poured him a glass of wine, "Mr. taught me a lot and helped me out of trouble. Ji Yu is very grateful."

He nodded, "I am willing to go to such trouble because of your nature of knowing how to repay your kindness. But at the beginning, I thought that the person you were going to take away was Aping, but I didn't expect it to be Qiyu. You actually have I never thought about it. Now that I have left there, it is time to start again. Isn’t it what you want to get a scholar, marry a wife and have children? Why do you want to be stained with such bad deeds? "

"At first, I didn't dare to expect my husband to help me leave Liu's house. So no matter what opportunity or benefit, I was unwilling to give up. Ever since my parents sold me, I have no relatives in this world. With Qiyu, In the beginning it was just a transaction, but later on he became like a family member and developed feelings for him.” I said carefully, it’s safer not to say anything about martial arts.

"A deal? At the price of your body, in exchange for him helping you leave Liu's residence sometime?"

I nodded.

"In the end, it was you who helped him leave. You also have affection. But over the years, I haven't seen that he has the desire to leave Liu's residence. He is different from you and me. He likes that kind of life."

"Indeed", I nodded, "He is content with the status quo, and only wants to be released from the mansion when he grows older. It is for me that he left with me."

"Why?" He looked at me with burning eyes, "Isn't what you want to get rid of the life of a woman lying under a man? Why don't you care now?"

"When I entered the mansion, I was still an ignorant half-grown child. I didn't understand the matter of cutting sleeves or the matter of men and women, and I had no prejudice. What I hate is losing freedom, having no dignity, and being forced to be another man male favorite. But if I do it voluntarily, it doesn’t matter whether it’s male or female.”

He was startled, "You can think about it. But I have never liked a man."

"..." Didn't it mean that he and Young Master Liu were originally a couple?

"Did you hear some rumors after you entered the mansion? They were all false. At that time, there were many factions among officials in the court. Originally, my family and Liu's family were officials from the King Qin's faction. My father was implicated in a court struggle, and my family collapsed." Yes. At that time, the King of Qin arranged me in the Liu family, firstly because Liu Fang and I were indeed good friends, and secondly because he wanted to use my mind to serve as a think tank for the Liu family and monitor the Liu family by the way."

"The Liu family... has changed their family?"

"Yes. Actually, Liu Ting couldn't sit still after the incident happened in my family. He married Liu Fang, but he was an official from King Zhao's faction. He really wanted to beat me to death at that time, but he didn't know that his son had an affair with me. Unclean thoughts. Just go with the flow and make me a male favourite," he grinned coldly and sarcasticly.

"Then King Qin..." Why didn't you leave the Liu residence for you?

"The word "official slave" can immobilize people. King Qin may be able to attack secretly, but he only broke his arm at that time and was betrayed by the Liu family, but he will not let others take advantage of me as an official slave."

"..."

"Even in order to tarnish my reputation and make it impossible for me to escape, Liu Fang specially recruited a few actors and prostitutes to be equal to me. After all, everyone in the capital knew that I was just a male favorite," he said. The words were full of hatred, "He was originally inferior to me in terms of family background, ability, appearance, and literary talent. After all, he found a chance to trample me under his feet. But I was young and naive at that time, and I didn't expect to get along well with him." My friend has such dirty thoughts."

That Young Master Liu is indeed... perverted.

"Mr. is leaving the Liu residence now..."

"The time I was beaten, the King of Qin sent someone to warn the Liu family. Although the Liu family plotted against me and ruined my reputation, they did not make the decision to tear themselves apart from the King of Qin. So in the past ten years, Liu Fang has never dared to persecute me too much, nor Dare to make fun of me. Only I have the opportunity and time to arrange something to bring down the Liu family," he smiled slightly.

"Then the Liu family is now...?"

"There is no Liu family anymore. The night you left, the Liu family caught fire and burned everyone in the yard, including you and me. When the officers and soldiers were fighting the fire, they found letters and evidence of the Liu family's plot. Liu Tinghe Liu Fang is dead, and everyone else has become official slaves. Liu Fang's sons and daughters have become official prostitutes under my care, is it retribution?" His gentle smile made me shudder.

Burned a whole yard of people?By the way, frame it?He is indeed vicious enough.However, I don't care about many people.

"What happened to Aping and Uncle Li?"

"On the day of the fire, you arranged for A Ping to go home. He was not worried about his life. Later, something happened to the Liu family, and the servants were also sold. I didn't pay attention to it, but they were originally sold as slaves. Not going anywhere."

"Since we can bring down the Liu family, why didn't we do it earlier?" Ten years, there are only a few decades in life, so I endured it with disgust and hatred for ten years.He is more patient than me.

"The time is not right. It's not so easy to find King Zhao's opening," he said lightly.

"What did you do to help Qiyu and me get out of trouble?"

"It's a piece of cake for King Qin, he still needs me at that time," he smiled slightly.

What about after that?It will definitely be useful in the future.Otherwise, wouldn't it be the safest to kill them?Why let him out.

"What does sir need me to do?"

"Gu Shao is dead. I am now Lin Shao, your eldest cousin, and my identity is a businessman. I don't need you to do anything at the moment, just cover up my identity for me. As for the future..." He pondered for a while , said lightly: "I'm married, it was arranged by the King of Qin, in order to restrain me and ease my heart. She doesn't know my original identity. You come to the mansion tomorrow to see me and your sister-in-law."

"yes, Sir."

He nodded, "Whether you trust Qiyu or not, don't tell him about King Qin or the Liu family. I don't trust him."

I nodded.Those old things should have passed by long ago, if I didn't want to find out what he wanted me to do for him, I didn't need to know it myself.Now there is no need to tell Qiyu specifically.

"Let's go back."

"it is good."

I also need to organize my thoughts.After every conversation with him, it takes a long time to guess the hidden content.

"Are you still growing flowers?"

"Yes."

"Bring me some tomorrow."

"it is good."
