At night, Tang Ke turned down from the ridge of the roof, and handed over the small book full of love stories to Zhu Wenzhen.

Zhu Wenzhen sat on his lap and read a small book, while Tang Ke stared at Zhu Wenzhen.

"Xiang'er, I'll take you away from now on, where do you want to go?" Tang Ke asked softly.

Zhu Wenzhen turned his head to look at him, his thoughts were still immersed in those love words, his cheeks were pale and rosy, and his eyes were a little blurred, "Huh?"

Tang Ke laughed, repeated his question, and kissed him lightly on the side of the ear.

Zhu Wenzhen thought about it seriously, "I want to go to Yunze."

Tang Ke was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Wenzhen to talk about such a remote town in the south, "Why do you want to go there?"

"The weather there is good, the scenery is also good, and there are grandmother's favorite crabapples."

Zhu Wenzhen personally went to Yunze before in order to find a way to plant crabapples in the palace, and fell in love with that small town as soon as he arrived there.

Tang Ke laughed, "Xiang'er likes grandma very much?"

Zhu Wenzhen nodded, "In the future, Xiaoke and I will go to Yunze, and we can plant begonias in the backyard. We will bring a few back to my grandmother during the holidays. Grandma will definitely like it. And you, Xiaoke, grandma will know you in the future. I'm sure you'll love it."

When Zhu Wenzhen mentioned his grandmother, his tone was soft, and his eyes showed reluctance and attachment that he might not have noticed.

Tang Ke saw it, his eyes dimmed, and soon he covered it again, and smiled again.

When Tang Ke left, Zhu Wenzhen called Guan Zhong over, pointed to the table of dishes and said, "Did you invite the chef who is drunk in the spring breeze?" happy.

Guan Zhong was full of helplessness, "The servant has a few heads and dare not lie to the prince, no, this is what the cook was invited to do."

Zhu Wenzhen took a piece of meat and tasted it, and it tasted the same as before, the only difference was that it was placed on a more delicate disk.

Guan Zhong said in a low voice: "My lord, maybe... that lord likes to eat those cheap things. If the food and drink are presented as they are now, he won't like to eat them. Why don't you send that cook back and order someone to come over later?" Chunfengzui bought it, put it in a food box as it is, and brought it back quickly?"

Zhu Wenzhen thought for a while, and accepted Guan Zhong's proposal, "Okay, you can arrange it."

When Tang Ke was writing an update at the bookstore the next day, Guo Xiucai suddenly attacked.

Tang Ke, who was buried in the manuscript, suddenly noticed that the light above his head was blocked by someone, and when he looked up, he saw Guo Xiucai pointing his nostrils at him, Tang Ke straightened up, "What's the matter?"

Guo Xiucai pointed at Tang Ke with contempt on his face, and said in a voice that could be heard all over the floor: "You are not a popular thing! You got signed into the bookstore by selling your ass to King Jing's mansion, right? Clean stuff, why can I sit in this seat now?!"

When Guo Xiucai uttered the words "selling butts", several people passing by in the corridor couldn't help but look at the two of them. Some departments even opened the doors and peeped out to see them, and there were whispers in their ears for a while.

Tang Ke looked at Guo Xiucai, who was blushing, and stared openly at him for a long time. When Guo Xiucai looked away, he snorted and leaned back in his chair, "Mr. Guo used to avoid the work of our customs department. I've been walking around, but I condescended to come here today. Let me guess, what can make our great scholar so angry? It must not be the reason why I came to the bookstore. Oh——Could it be that I'm about to get promoted and raise my salary? Thank you Guo Xiucai for making the special trip to let me know, and I will definitely give you a big red envelope when I get a salary increase."

I thought that if I revealed the most shameful things about Tang Ke, Tang Ke would definitely not get off the stage and quarrel with him. Tang Ke could only be so embarrassing, but I didn't expect this person to be more shameless than I thought, Guo Zheyuan His face turned blue and red with anger, and finally he could only say angrily, "I have nothing to say to your shameless pet", and turned directly to go to his room.

Wu Liangsheng had just returned after signing the contract. He heard Guo Xiucai's words on the stairs.

Looking at the few staff members who were still whispering in the corridor, Wu Liangsheng sat down beside Tang Ke, "That kid surnamed Guo is like that, don't take it to heart, what he just spread rumors, you will have to wait until the next meeting." I will help you clarify with the bureau, and you don't have to worry about it."

Tang Ke grinned and shook his head, "It's okay, the minister doesn't need to clarify, I don't care what other people think."

Wu Liangsheng didn't expect Tang Ke to take this matter so lightly, and wondered, "Really so generous?"

Tang Ke nodded frankly, "What is the relationship between me and King Jing's Mansion? What other people think is their business, as long as Xiang'er does not misunderstand."

He doesn't ask everyone in this world to understand him, he just hopes that the person he likes can wait for him equally.

Wu Liangsheng patted Tang Ke on the shoulder, "Good boy."

In the afternoon of the same day, Qinghe called Tang Ke to the room where he signed the contract before, took out his original version of the contract, and put a new version of the contract next to him, "The director has already applied to several shareholders. , now invite you to become the top writer of Qifeng Bookstore, Mr. Xiao Ke, please take a look at the terms of this new contract, if there is no objection, we will complete the contract replacement now."

Tang Ke took the new contract over with a smile and looked at it, thinking that Guo Xiucai's trouble was only because the director wanted to promote him as the top writer, and shook his head helplessly.

For Tang Ke, the biggest advantage of completing the contract upgrade is that the current sales revenue share will be multiplied by five times. Calculated in this way, according to the current sales growth of his articles, the next draft fee will be issued, plus the money he currently has at home, He will be able to pay off the liquidated damages that he refused to assassinate before.

Tang Ke happily completed the contract replacement. After get off work, he went back to the small broken house to write a letter to his master, and asked his master again for Gong Chunhai's contact information, saying that he was about to pay off the debt.

Thinking that he was about to regain his freedom, and when he rushed to Luming Mountain Villa again, Tang Ke was refreshed, hugged Zhu Wenzhen a few times, and then hugged the back of his neck and kissed him deeply for a long time.

Zhu Wenzhen's cheeks were flushed by his kiss, and he sat on Tang Ke's lap with his neck hooked and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Tang Ke smiled like a little sun illuminating the night sky, "Xiang'er, I will be able to support you soon."

The brilliance on his face was reflected in Zhu Wenzhen's eyes, like fireworks scattered in Zhu Wenzhen's dark eyes like night.

Tang Ke's manuscript fee will be paid after more than a month. Counting the scattered money before, the total is 24 taels of gold.

He didn't move any part of the money Zhu Wenzhen paid for his manuscript, and planned to leave it to Zhu Wenzhen when the two went to the south to live a happy life.

Tang Ke told Zhu Wenzhen that he couldn't go to Luming Mountain Villa to find him because of some private matters these days, and he took leave with Wu Liangsheng, packed up the liquidated damages, and planned to go to Chanyizong to ask his master for help to contact the Xinghe Gang.

As soon as he stepped out of the small dilapidated house with his burden on his back, he saw Xian Yu standing at the door waiting for him.

"Master!" Tang Ke smiled and stepped forward.

Xian Yu had no expression on his face, but his eyebrows were smiling, "Have you collected enough money?"

Tang Ke replied very proudly, and took out a thick stack of bank notes from his baggage and handed them to Xian Yu, "The total is 24 taels of gold, 1000 taels are used to pay liquidated damages, and 24 taels are given to Xian Yu." Master bought the wine."

Apart from the money given by his Xiang'er, he only kept a few hundred cash for living expenses.

Xian Yu glanced at the heavy banknote in his hand, and then smiled, "Okay, I'll take it for you to Gong Chunhai, after this matter is over, you follow me back to Chanyizong."

Tang Ke grinned, "I'm not going back to Chanyizong anymore, I'm a signed writer of Qifeng Bookstore, and I still want to stay here to make money."

Hearing this, Xian Yu hit his apprentice on the forehead again with the hilt of his sword, "The liquidated damages have been paid off, what do you need money for? Come with me back and pick up the sword skills, so that I can go to the rivers and lakes to embarrass my master!"

Tang Ke rubbed his forehead, "My writing novels can also give you face, Master, and I want to make money to support my wife..."

"Raising a wife?" Xian Yu was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at Tang Ke suspiciously, "Have you learned how to make cabbages, little brat?"

Tang Ke laughed twice, but didn't answer.

Xian Yu Laohuai smiled gratifiedly, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, you are promising!" He returned his 24 taels of gold to Tang Ke, "Take the money you gave as a teacher as a betrothal gift. Take it back to the Chanyi Sect."

Tang Ke pushed Xian Yu's hand holding the bank note back, "This is a tribute to Master, how can you return it to me?" He muttered very softly, "And this money can't support him..."

Although his voice was low, Xian Yu could still hear clearly, and shouted loudly, "Son, what kind of wife did you ask for, made of gold? So expensive? This 20 taels of gold can be used as a family heirloom in the Chanyi Sect, and it can't be used up for three generations." It's not enough to raise a wife for you? You're a prodigal!" He couldn't help but hit Tang Ke on the shoulder again.

Tang Ke let him fight, "Anyway, I can't afford it now, and I still have to stay in the bookstore to make money. Master, I'm on leave. I'll go back with you to settle the liquidated damages issue in the next two days, shall I?"

"No need," Xian Yu raised his hand, and resolutely refused, "For such a trivial matter, you can go to Gong Chunhai directly as a teacher. Before the dust of the breach of contract is settled, you should not appear in the Chanyi Sect, so as not to cause trouble again."

Tang Ke said "oh", "Master, you have come all the time, stay with me for two days before leaving?"

Xian Yu looked over Tang Ke's shoulder and took a deep look at his small and dilapidated house. After a long thought struggle, thinking of Tang Ke's cooking skills, he struggled and said, "I won't stop, here you are." Let's go after dinner."

Tang Ke smiled like a child, "Master, what do you want to eat? Let me make it for you?"

Xian Yu held his sword and walked towards the gate of the house, "Whatever you want."

Tang Ke thought about it seriously, "I'll cook a braised fish, stew a chicken, and then go outside and cut two catties of stewed beef?"

Xian Yu moved out the small stool in front of Tang Ke's door, sat in front of his room to bask in the sun, raised his head and waved his hands, "There are too many fish bones, it will be troublesome to eat, the stewed chicken is tasteless and not tasty, the beef sold outside The brine is too heavy."

Tang Ke looked at Xian Yu helplessly, "Then what do you want to eat, Master?"

Xian Yu scratched his chin, "Whatever."

Tang Ke: "..."

Tang Ke decided to ignore Master, and acted as he wished, "I'll go to the vegetable market to buy some food, Master, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"

Xian Yu leaned against the wall and said casually: "Last time, you must have been drunk with the spring breeze."

"Then I have to go to the city to buy, and it will take some time to go back and forth." Tang Ke glanced at the sun that had already set in the west, "I'll go to Tongluo Lane first, buy wine and then come back to buy vegetables."

Xian Yu sat up straight when he heard this, "Then it won't be dark until dinner, and you have to go back to Chanyizong at night as a teacher? No, no, you can go shopping, and you can go to Tongluo Lane to buy wine for your teacher." .”

Xian Yu was good at his feet, and Tang Ke didn't want his master to rush home at night, so he didn't show any courtesy to him, and the two went out one by one.

Tang Ke bought vegetables and a few new sets of tableware. When he came back, he saw that Xian Yu hadn't returned yet, so he went to the back of the house to fetch water and wash the vegetables. He turned around and came out after washing. When he heard the sound, he knew that it was Xian Yu who had returned, and smiled. Going up to meet him, seeing the familiar figure following Xian Yu, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Xiang'er..."

Holding two jars of wine in his arms, Xian Yu turned his head and was joking with Zhu Wenzhen who was following behind him, but he didn't notice Tang Ke's dark face.

Zhu Wenzhen also imitated Xian Yu holding the two jugs of wine, but he was obviously not used to walking with the wine jugs in his arms, walking cautiously, looking a bit like a porcelain doll from a distance.

When the two got closer, Zhu Wenzhen looked up at Tang Ke, his eyebrows and eyes curved into a crescent shape with a smile, and shouted "Xiao Ke".

Xian Yu turned his head to look at Tang Ke, "You son of a bitch, this young man said he was your friend, I saw him standing alone in the spring breeze and shivering from the cold, it was poor, so I brought him back for dinner."

Tang Ke was obviously angry with his master, so he just said "Oh" casually, went forward to help Zhu Wenzhen get the two jars of wine, and buried his head in the house.

Zhu Wenzhen raised his eyes and saw the small dilapidated house where Tang Ke lived, and thousands of emotions flashed in his eyes for a moment.

It was an earthen tile house, the whole house was smaller than the smallest wing room in Luming Mountain Villa, the blue-gray bricks outside were piled up very randomly, it seemed that there was air leakage everywhere, the corners of the walls were covered with moss, and some tiles on the roof had fallen off , I don't know if it will leak.

Zhu Wenzhen followed Tang Ke closely, almost stepping on his heels.

Tang Ke suddenly turned around before stepping over the threshold, and bumped into Zhu Wenzhen. Zhu Wenzhen retreated in a panic. Tang Ke put the wine jar under his arm and freed his hand to firmly hold his arm, and pointed his chin outside the house. "You go outside and wait, don't come in, the inside is not clean and you feel aggrieved."

Zhu Wenzhen was in a daze from the moment he saw Tang Ke's small dilapidated house, as if he had lost a few souls. Hearing Tang Ke's words at this time, he answered in a daze, and turned around. , a little stiffly sat down on the only stool that Xian Yu had brought out earlier in the open space, straightened his back and looked at the red-hot sunset in the distance in a daze.

Xian Yu didn't know why, so he went into the dark room with the wine jar in his arms, and saw Tang Ke sullenly clearing up the meat and vegetables on the chopping board, and leaned over, "Boy, what kind of pit did you step on for the sake of the teacher, are you so angry?"

Tang Ke didn't dare to stare at Master, so he could only stare at the cabbage in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "He is from King Jing's Mansion."

Xian Yu's face suddenly turned pale.
