Be a master through ancient times

While Chu Xiaoyuan was working hard to learn kung fu to protect his family, Zhong Liyu had already arrived in Zhangzhou Mansion.

Since the day he was robbed, he hadn't cried once.Such performance made these subordinates who had heard that he was timid and crying for a while wonder whether they had robbed the wrong person.

After leaving the city, these people told Zhong Liyu the ins and outs of the incident, and showed him Steward Xu's letter.Zhong Liyu remained silent after reading the letter. He hadn't been close to his father since he was a child, so naturally he didn't want to follow him back to the capital now.He understood that Grandpa Xu sent someone to perform this play so that he would not take it away, but... Zhong Liyu felt sad when he thought of brother Xiaoyuan who had been chasing after him just now.When he was carried on the horse, he seemed to see brother Xiaoyuan fall...

These people didn't understand his sadness. After seeing that he understood, they took him to change their clothes together, and then rushed to Wuchang Mansion to take a boat to Zhangzhou Mansion.

During this period, Zhong Liyu has always been very obedient, eating when asked to eat, and sleeping when asked to sleep. Apart from asking for a few books, paper and pens from them, he never asked for anything else. He is not so obedient as a child of this age.

It's a pity that this group of big bosses have never brought up children, let alone a restrained child like Zhong Liyu. They interpreted his abnormality as obedient, and no one thought of other things except taking care of him. .

For more than ten days, Zhong Liyu locked himself in the room and read the book non-stop. Whenever he encountered an article he didn't understand, he would copy it down and recite it. Ten times, until he could memorize it without missing a word.

He wants to grow up quickly, and when he grows up, he won't have to be controlled by his father, and he won't have to let his uncle and grandpa Xu worry about him, let alone Shigong Shinai and brother Xiaoyuan.

……

When Zhong Liyu didn't have a deep memory, it seemed that his mother was the only one in his world. She never let others approach him, as if she was wary of everyone.Mother was very kind to him, but she never kissed and hugged him. Sometimes the way mother looked at him made him feel that he seemed to have done something wrong.

Later, mother and father had a big fight, and then mother fell ill.After my mother got sick, she treated him better than before.At that time, he thought that it would be great if his mother could treat him like this after she recovered from her illness, but it didn't take long for others to say that his mother had passed away.

He didn't understand what death meant, he only knew that his mother said she was so tired and wanted to go home, and then she kept sleeping, but isn't their home here?After Niang fell asleep, they put Niang in a strange bed and carried her into a strange room, and he went with her.When those people saw his mother fell asleep, they bullied him. They didn't give him anything to eat or drink, and they just let him kneel in the room alone.There were a lot of weird things in the room, and his mother was lying in it without making a sound or opening her eyes, which made him a little scared.

At night, his father came in quietly and brought him some food.He begged his father to let his mother wake up, and told his father that he wanted to go back to the yard and didn't want to stay here.My father agreed to everything at first, but a very fierce woman came out later, and she asked him to call her his mother.

Zhong Liyu didn't want to, he had a mother, and his mother was lying in it.Seeing that he refused to bark, the woman asked his father to let him go, and locked him in the house, not letting him come out, and only threw him food through the window every day.

I don't know which day it was, but a grandpa came suddenly. He heard that grandpa scolding his father and beating him up.Later, when he heard the door open, he was frightened and hid under the bed where his mother was lying.After the grandfather came in, he lay down on it and cried for a long time, still calling Miss, he was late.

Zhong Liyu is very strange, who is the lady?There is only his mother here.Later that grandfather found him, hugged him and cried again, called him young master, and brought him and his mother back to Xijiang province.

Only then did he know that this person was Grandpa Xu.Grandpa Xu buried his mother in the Kou family's ancestral grave, saying that she would never be allowed to stay in such a filthy place.Zhong Liyu knew that the dirty words in Grandpa Xu's mouth were referring to the mansion where he and his mother lived.He also knew that Mother's death meant that she would never see her again...

But one day, he saw his mother in a book. Although she looked a little different, he still regarded her as a treasure and held it in his hand every day.Grandpa Xu was very angry when he found out about this book. With a livid face, he asked him where did this book come from?

Zhong Liyu pursed his lips, he didn't know where it came from, but he wanted to kiss his mother, and he wanted to read this book.Grandpa Xu sighed and didn't say anything else. A few days later, he actually brought back a large painting. The person in the painting was exactly the same as his mother. The only difference was that the mother in the painting could laugh, and The mother who lives in the mansion does not.

Later, when the uncle came back, the uncle was also very kind to him, but the uncle didn't hug him either.Later, my uncle left again. Before leaving, my uncle said that he should go to Mengtong Hall to go to school.

He doesn't want to go to school. He can read and write at home. When he was in the mansion, his father took him to a place called Jiaxue. The people there were all bad guys who poured ink on him and called him a little bastard. .After he went back and told his mother, she refused to let him go.

But Grandpa Xu assured him that no one would bully him in the Mengtong Hall, and also said that there was a little brother there who would go to school with him.

Little brother?Zhongli Yu was full of anticipation.

Later, he met Brother Xiaoyuan.Brother Xiaoyuan, on the surface, is very aggressive towards him, often glaring at him and scaring him by making funny faces when Uncle Chu is out of sight.However, when others bully him, Brother Xiaoyuan is always the first to stand up to protect him, and he will generously distribute the delicious food to him. When he can't walk, he will stop, stare at him, and wait for him. Won't go alone.

He thought, how nice it is to have an older brother!If he had an older brother before, he would not have been bullied by those bad guys.

……

Master Qin's letter arrived before Zhongliyu, so when their boat arrived at Zhangzhou Mansion, they saw Chuci as soon as they got off the boat.After Chu Ci heard the news that his little nephew and nephew were coming, he personally arranged a room for the two of them to live in.

"This is the third brother Du, right? Please take care of and escort Yu'er all the way here. I have ordered people to prepare bouillon and side dishes. I hope you will enjoy your visit."

Chu Ci stepped forward to thank them, and the moment he opened his mouth, these people felt as comfortable as spring breeze blowing on their faces.

"Master Chu, you are being polite. Our brothers have been following Master Xu all the time. Now that Master Xu has ordered us, we brothers should do our best. How can we call it a labor of love?" Du Sanchao cupped his hands at Chuci, with a smile on his face .

"Having said that, I still have to thank a few people for their help if Yu'er was able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering. Everyone, get in the carriage, it's getting late now, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it at the dinner table." Chu Ci looked a little behind the few people The listless Zhong Liyu was worried that he was starving.

"Then I would like to thank Lord Chu for your kindness!"

After Du San and the others stepped into the carriage, Chu Ci led Zhong Liyu back to his own carriage.

"Yu'er, are you hungry? Tell Uncle Chu what you want to eat later, and I'll get someone to make it for you."

Zhong Liyu looked at Chu Ci, this uncle who had always been gentle and kind, couldn't help but have red eyes and shed tears.The panic that had been accumulating since he was robbed, as well as the inferiority complex that had accumulated in his heart for so long, was finally released when he saw his relatives.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Chu Ci was a little flustered, and quickly reached out to test the temperature of his forehead, wanting to see if he had a fever.

Zhong Liyu shook his head. He hadn't communicated with anyone much for nearly half a month, so his throat was a little dry, and his voice sounded very weird when he spoke.

"Uncle Chu, I'm not feeling sick... I'm just glad to see you..." Zhong Liyu still had a small nasal voice, his eyes were bright and clear with tears, and when he looked at Chu Ci, his eyes were really full It's all joy.

Chu Ci laughed, Xiao Yu'er is sweet-talking, if it were his family Chu Xiaoyuan would definitely not be so straightforward, that kid has always felt that a man should not be so hypocritical.

"I am also very happy to meet you. It has been more than a year since we met last time. Although I have been writing to you all the time, it is better to meet you after all. Xiao Yu'er has grown taller and is about to become an older child." .”

Zhong Liyu bent his lips and smiled slightly, he likes people to say that he has grown up now.

"I don't know if Xiao Yuan is tall or not. When he arrives, I will measure you all with my own hands."

When Zhong Liyu heard this, his mouth immediately opened wide, and his cat-like eyes were full of disbelief: "Uncle Chu, what did you just say?"

Seeing his reaction like this, Chu Ci had no choice but to think back. Was the sentence he said just now very strange?

"I said to measure your height for you and make a record. After that, you will measure once a year and you will know how much taller you have grown."

"No! You just said, wait for him to come?"

"That's right, your grandpa Xu and Xiao Yuan are also coming over, and they are probably on their way now. Master has become the head of the mountain this year and has a lot of business, so he plans to send Xiao Yuan to study too, so that no one will look at this monkey seriously. study."

Getting confirmation from Chu Ci's mouth, Zhong Liyu grinned wide, and finally laughed from the bottom of his heart, and the faint worry along the way finally disappeared, it turned out that Brother Xiaoyuan was coming too!

Chu Ci didn't know what he was happy about, but it was indeed a happy thing that the gloom around the child finally disappeared, so he also laughed.

……

Nine days later, Chu Ci and Zhong Liyu stood by the pier, waiting for the boat that Steward Xu and Chu Xiaoyuan took.

On the boat, Chu Xiaoyuan, who finished his horse stance and a set of punches, took the thick towel handed over by Steward Xu and wiped the sweat off his face, then took a large bowl of tea from him and drank it all in one gulp , grinned and said thanks.

"Grandpa Xu, are we almost there?" In the past two days, he could always see some coasts, unlike the past few days, there was only a vast sea.

"Hurry up, we passed Yanzhou Mansion an hour ago, and this is Zhangzhou Mansion. It must take another half an hour to reach the pier."

After Chu Xiaoyuan heard it, he refused to go down to the cabin, and must stand at the bow and wait.

Time passed slowly as they waited anxiously, and finally, the boat was about to approach the pier.Chu Xiaoyuan's eyes were very sharp, and he saw Chu Ci and Zhong Liyu waiting there at a glance.

Excitedly, he kicked his feet and pressed his hands, and jumped onto the bow, holding on to the railing with one hand, and waving vigorously with the other, shouting, "Uncle! Yu'er! I'm here! Have you seen me?" ?”

Chu Ci's eyesight was not that good. He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance after hearing the vague voice, only to see a small black spot jumping up and down there.He wondered, could it be that someone brought a monkey aboard?
