Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

The child went to bed late, and Xu Jiu's work and rest time was also delayed.

He hadn't reacted when the knock on the door rang, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the sun had risen very high, and the hot day had already begun.

"Ali?" Xu Jiu looked at the person at the door in surprise.

Ali nodded, looking at his body: "You haven't gotten up yet?"

"Uh, um, I slept late yesterday." Xu Jiu smiled shyly.

"You are really good. Others will lose their lives. You are completely fine, and you can still sleep until now. Even the master of the manor is not as leisurely as you." Ali looked envious.

Xu Jiu said awkwardly, "Well, I'm also very scared every time I go to pick up eggs."

Ali looked him up and down: "I don't understand why Li Che Beast doesn't eat you. Is it because it wants to raise you because you are thin? Or is it because it thinks you are beautiful like those girls in the city? "

"……"Ha ha.

A Liquan accepted his acquiescence, and muttered: "I didn't expect Li Che Beast to have such a habit."

"..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, pack up quickly, and follow me to the manor today!"

Xu Jiu was surprised: "But it's not the time yet."

Ali crossed his arms: "No need to talk so much, if you tell you to go, go, it's your kid's good luck to see the housekeeper, even the big servant of Qingkong can't see everyone."

Xu Jiu welcomed Ali into the castle, feeling a little distressed: "Brother Ali, did you tell me what to do, or catch that big fat cat?"

"What's a cat? That's Yunban!" Ali was very dissatisfied with the title of a country bumpkin like him, "Yunban is the butler's favorite pet. He shares the bed with the butler every day, and he looks more important than his wife! "

"..." Is it really okay for you to arrange the butler like this? "This thing is too weird. It's not right to ask me to go all the way to do this. Brother Ali, do you know why?"

Ali rolled his eyes at the sky: "Can you guess that the butler is still the butler when he does things! Don't be silly, come with me quickly, and you can come back sooner."

Xu Jiu rolled out a big white egg from the room to Ali: "I want to take my family Pangpang with me."

"Okay, take it with you." Ali waved his hand, "It's just for this kid to see the grandeur of the manor."

"Yeah." Xu Jiu hurriedly put on the servant's clothes from last time while Ah Li went to set the egg up, and went to the bedroom to pick up the sleeping child.The child's little paws hugged him, but he was still awake.Xu Jiu found a package to pack his clothes and towels, and hurried out with the child in his arms.

"Yo, still sleeping." Ali leaned closer to pinch Pangpang, but Xu Jiu quickly moved away, and he clicked his tongue twice, "Okay, you sit in the carriage and don't touch the eggs!"

"Well, thank you Ali." Xu Jiu carried the child into the carriage.

It was the first time for him to come inside the carriage. The bottom of the carriage was covered with thick animal skins. There were three egg troughs in the middle of the carriage, and only one egg was placed in the middle.Ali stuck his head in: "There is no seat, there is a cushion on the right, do you see it, you can take it down and sit on it."

"Well, good." The interior of the carriage was extremely soft, as soon as Xu Jiu stepped on it, his feet sank into the thick fur, like stepping on cotton.In order to protect the eggs from being bumped, at least four layers of animal skins are laid underneath, and the egg tray is also wrapped in soft animal skins, which are also elastic, just enough to restrain the eggs from shaking.

Sure enough, rich and powerful.

Sitting on the soft-fur cushion, Xu Jiu sighed deeply that he was not as good as an egg.

The carriage drove all the way to the manor, and it was still lively after entering the city gate.Staying alone for such a long time, Xu Jiu couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car to look out when encountering such excitement. It seemed that the people coming and going, even the buildings, quickly passed by.

The child was still sound asleep in his arms, not showing the slightest sign of waking up.

The black minaret is in sight, and the carriage passes through the long Shinto to reach the destination.Xu Jiu had already been here once, and he was not as nervous as last time. He came down with the child in his arms, and was taken by his attendants to the room where Qingkong received him last time.

Not long after Xu Jiu went in, Qingkong came with his little apprentice, still looking friendly, watching Xu Jiu holding the child in a daze, and sized them up without showing any signs.

Xu Jiu tried his best to hide his chubby face, and explained: "This is my younger brother."

"Oh, that's it." Qing Kong still had a spring-like expression, "Your brother Ling is so tender and cute."

"Yeah, yes." Xu Jiu was extremely happy when he heard him boast about being fat, and her mouth was about to grin to the ears.

"..." Qing Kong paused for a moment, then picked up the teacup, "Thank you for your hard work, please drink some water."

Xu Jiu also felt thirsty, and the two drank water one after another, responding to Qingkong's meticulous inquiries.

A waiter came over from outside the door and respectfully reported to Qingkong: "Master Qingkong, the housekeeper wants to see Jiu."

"Click", Qing Kong closed the cup with a little force, and the silver cup made a clear and crisp sound, he said with a smile: "Then take the guests."

"Wait, can I just go like this?" Xu Jiu was still holding the child, it seemed inappropriate to meet for the first time like this.

The waiter nodded: "It doesn't matter if the adults say that the children are taken there."

"Oh, thank you." Xu Jiu felt relieved. He originally wanted to wake up Pangpang and let Ali take care of it for a while, but he was worried after all. Since the housekeeper didn't mind his impolite behavior of holding the child, he would rather hold the child. good.

Xu Jiu followed the waiter and walked towards the black steeple in the middle.

Behind him, Qing Kong put away his smile: "Why does he have a child?"

His little apprentice scratched his head: "It is said that it is from the uncle's family, but his father has no brothers. The child's origin is unknown, and he doesn't look like a normal child."

"Ok?"

"How can there be such a weak child in our wasteland? They are short, thin and small, and no one will raise them at all."

Qing Kong nodded: "That kid is really bad, did he pick it up?"

"[-]% yes." The little apprentice nodded, "I'll check again."

Aozora acquiesced.

Here, Xu Jiu finally entered the main building.The waiter who brought him stopped automatically in front of the foyer, and the waiter in the main building came out to meet him, and bowed to lead the way when he saw him: "Please follow me."

The interior decoration of the building is very different from the splendor outside. It is just a regular white wall with carvings and patterns. There are continuous oil paintings on the wall. There are mountains, waters and castles on the paintings, like a miniature picture of a city.The waiter stopped in front of a door decorated with jasper and knocked on the door: "My lord, I have brought it."

An old and soft voice came from inside the house: "Come in."

Sitting inside the door was an old man with white hair, wearing a purple robe, writing something with a quill.

The old man raised his head, he was already very old, his face was soft, his muscles drooped loosely, and only a pair of green eyes showed that he was not old.The old man saw Xu Jiu and waved: "Son, come here."

Xu Jiu made a half-knee salute: "The housekeeper."

The old man looked at him for a while: "What a beautiful young man. Is this your child?"

Xu Jiu looked into his arms following his gaze: "My brother."

"I've been with adults all my life. I don't have children. Every time I see a child, I like it very much." The old man said slowly, his voice was gentle and kind, and he looked at the child lovingly, "Come and give me a hug. "

Xu Jiu looked at Pang Pang, who was still sleeping soundly, and it was hard to refuse an old man's love for a child: "Oh, yes, it's just that he is still sleeping."

"It's okay." The old man stretched out his hand to take it.

The chubby little fist was resting on his ear, and his sleeping position was like raising his hands in surrender. The old man squeezed his soft hand carefully, and sighed contentedly: "It's the cutest child I've ever seen."

The love in his words is not a lie, Xu Jiu instantly made up the sad history of a lonely and helpless old man, because the master oppressed him for a lifetime and could not marry and have no children. .

Xu Jiu stood aside, watching the old man staring at Pangpang for a moment, and being ignored like a background.

After finally waiting for the other party to look up, the old man saw Xu Jiu still standing there, and was taken aback for a moment: "The claws haven't been cut last time," and said to the waiter behind: "Take the guest to find Yun Ban."

"...No," Xu Jiu was startled, completely unaware of the trend, and instantly wept, "Then, my lord, my family is fat—"

The old man interrupted him: "You can take him away after you finish your work."

What if he couldn't finish it, Xu Jiu felt anxious about being robbed of his child: "My lord, I don't bring Pangpang, he will cry when he wakes up."

"Crying? Crying," the old man looked at the child, smiling kindly as if remembering something, "Such a well-behaved child won't cry. If he cries, I'll let you come over and comfort him."

The butler didn't want to talk to him any more, and put all his heart on the child. Xu Jiu was still struggling, but the waiter didn't give him a chance at all, and led him out half-asked and half-forced.

The door was closed at once, and Xu Jiu shouted anxiously: "Hey, brother waiter, don't go—"

The noise outside the house didn't reach the house at all. The butler hugged Pangpang and pinched his fat face: "It's a little heavy, and there's flesh on his little face. No wonder you haven't been picky eaters recently. How are you doing outside? The bad boy doesn't know how to come back and take a look, I watched you grow up since I was a child, and I worry about you every day..."

The old man stood up holding the child, shaking as he walked: "You are so cute, why don't adults want to admit it. He is already 30 years old, and his temper is still like a child. Is he like you? Oh... I'm dead What is he going to do..."

The housekeeper remembered that the master who was still wayward yesterday had caught the cold in the middle of the night and lay down in a daze for a whole day, even sleeping with the child and not knowing how to wake up.

"Oh, self-willed..."

Xu Jiu was brought in front of Yun Ban.

This time, the fat cat wasn't lying on the tree. It was lying in a big nest made of layers of soft fur. The nest frame was in mid-air, and there were partitions on the side wall for it to climb up and down.

"Here we are." The waiter leading the way bowed and retreated, Xu Jiu entered the room, and at this time a black-haired waitress was mixing cat food.

That maid was so single-minded, Xu Jiu felt uneasy, this was the first girl he saw!

"Hello."

The maid raised her head, she had a pair of green eyes similar to those of the butler, watching Xu Jiu quietly waiting for him to speak.

"I'm here to cut Yunban's claws." What a pretty girl!

The girl lowered her head and continued to work: "You can cut the cloud spots when they come down."

Xu Jiu finally saw the hope of success and nodded repeatedly.

Seeing his appearance, the waitress had a look of amusement in her eyes, she put down the stone basin and went out: "Then you can cut it carefully."

Xu Jiu recovered from her shyness when she saw the girl, and began to knock on the stone basin to tease Yun Ban down.The fat cat was disturbed from sleep, "Aww" stretched out its sharp claws and rushed towards Xu Jiu——

Wait, this meow is so vicious!

Xu Jiu was stunned by the momentum, rolled his head with his head in his arms, and then screamed!The cloud spot withdrew its sharp claws the moment it approached Xu Jiu, knocked Xu Jiu over like a cannonball, and landed heavily on his belly!

"Aw!" Xu Jiu finally felt the feeling of being crushed, his internal organs shifted instantly, he turned over and spit out his nose and tears!

With its impressive tonnage, Yun Ban made the human feel its absolute power. He moved his buttocks, still sat on the human, and licked his paw proudly.

Xu Jiu lay on the ground panting.

"Hahahahahaha!" Qingkong's little apprentice leaned back and forth with a smile.

The maid who fed the cat gave him a blank look: "You are so impetuous, how did Qingkong teach you!"

"Sister Qingxing, don't be so serious." The little apprentice was obviously more afraid of him, and his wild behavior restrained a lot, "I just saw the man being crushed so funny! They were all laughing!"

There were indeed many servants who were snickering around the door, Qing Xing glanced at them, and all of them disappeared quickly.

Xu Jiu moved away from his own vomit with difficulty, panting and staring at the fat cat who was the culprit.

The fat cat showed its paws without showing any weakness.

——What followed was a cat-and-man fight, Yun Ban teased Xu Jiu jumping up and down like a mouse, Xu Jiu was not polite, holding the golden rod decorated on the wall, and swore that if he caught it, he would be ruthless. hit!

The entire front porch was buzzing.

Although there were two first-class servants from Qingkong Qingxing, they did not scare off the continuous stream of people who came to see the excitement. They quickly gathered in a circle, each secretly laughing.

What a shameful day, and there are so many girls.Xu Jiu's face was flushed, and when he was depressed, he had a ruthless aura, he must catch that fat cat!

At this moment, on the first floor of the main tower, the servant made up his mind for a long time to knock on the butler's door.

The room was silent, and the door opened after a while, and the housekeeper opened it himself, holding the child in his arms.

"what happened?"

"The front porch is noisy, Aozora asked me to report to my lord."

The housekeeper was silent for a while, and lowered his voice as if he was afraid of disturbing the child in his arms: "That's a wild boy, he doesn't know the rules, let Qing Kong not care too much."

"Yes." The door closed.

The housekeeper touched the child's clothes: "The material of this clothes is too bad, how can a child use such a rough material."
