Chapter 18 Mahogany Hairpin

Ever since Xue Chengyu's legs became conscious, Master Xue would boil a pile of tonic soup medicine for him to drink every now and then, causing him a headache.

What made him feel even more terrified was that some medicines also had the effect of tonifying the kidneys. As long as he slept with Xu Hong, he would start to commit evil fires. over him.

In the end, Xue Chengyu really couldn't stand Master Xue's "maintenance" so Xu Lang got a crutch, and under Xu Lang's care, he dangled in front of Master Xue to prove that his right foot had fully recovered.

Master Xue knew that tonics should not be taken too much, and after two days of observation to make sure that his right foot was really recovering, he stopped this link.

Without those tonics, the "evil fire" that tortured Xue Chengyu quickly dissipated, and Xu Lang no longer had to suffer from backache and leg pain, and his life returned to "calm".

Not long ago, Jiang Qi, Xue Chengyu's good friend, sent someone to deliver the newly written "Shan He Zhi", along with a piece of high-quality mahogany.

Xue Chengyu looked at the mahogany strip and sighed helplessly, thinking that Jiang Qi really didn't like him this time, he always liked jade and stone carvings, and he didn't care much about wooden products.

Top-grade mahogany is a treasure that can't be found, but it's a pity that the wooden strips are too narrow to make big things, so it's good to make hairpins and the like.

As soon as Xue Chengyu mentioned the hairpin, he remembered that Xu Lang was also crowned this year. Xu Lang's parents had passed away, and the elders of the family were hard to find. It was logical that his "employer" should give Xu Lang some gifts. After much deliberation, I couldn't think of what to give, so I simply made a hairpin as a coming-of-age gift.

Xue Chengyu just did what he said, drew the pattern, took out the tools and tinkled for a few days, only to carve out the general appearance.

In order to finish carving before the coronation ceremony, Xue Chengyu forgot to eat and sleep, whenever he had free time, he carved a few knives, and even went to bed late to catch up with the progress.

Seeing Xue Chengyu so tired, Xu Lang saw it in his eyes, and was anxious. Whether he could receive the gift was a small thing, but not having a good rest was a big thing.

If Xue Chengyu's old illness had not been cured and he had a new illness, wouldn't he be distressed to death? Whenever he advised Xue Chengyu to rest, he would always coax Xu Wei to go to bed first, and he would run to the yard with a lamp to carve. Will go home to rest.

This morning Xu Lang woke up early, and he turned over and got out of bed carefully, for fear of disturbing the sleeping Xue Chengyu by making some noise.

Xu Lang was dressed neatly, and was just about to go out to fetch water with a basin in his hand. When he passed the desk, he glanced at the semi-finished products on the table by chance, and looked over them curiously for a long time before he saw some tricks.

The hairpin carved by Xue Chengyu is not a complicated style, nor can it be completed with a few simple knives. The whole part of the hairpin has been carved, but the three peach blossoms at the top have not been carved yet.

The peach blossoms are generally in full bloom, with each flower stretching its petals and growing vigorously.

If he hadn't watched Xue Chengyu carve these flowers with his own eyes, he would have thought that these three wooden flowers were truly blooming flowers, which shows Xue Chengyu's superb carving skills.

Xu Lang thinks that this semi-finished product is also very good-looking, and there is no need to go into details, it only needs to be polished and polished before it can be worn.

He can be regarded as a "person" with some status in Xue's mansion, but in the eyes of outsiders, he is just a servant who is called by Xue Chengyu to come and go. Identity and status are all things that cannot be discussed. Even if you go out with this mahogany hairpin, people will talk about it.

It's a pity that Xue Chengyu doesn't care what people think of him, as he said, he is the young master of the Xue family, who in the whole Jiangnan would dare to chew his tongue and say that he is wrong?

Even if someone in the chamber of commerce wanted to criticize him, they wouldn't attack him, as long as he was a sensible person, he would know that if he touched the celebrity next to Young Master Xue, he would be courting death.

Thinking of this, Xu Hong couldn't help but raised his head, looked at the floating clouds outside the window and smiled wryly, that smile seemed to be laughing at Xue Chengyu's good intentions and at his own pity.

Originally, I just wanted to beg for a living under the fence, and I gave up living like an ant. I never thought that I could live such a happy life. Finally, I no longer worry about whether I have a meal or not, and I don’t have to worry about being alone in the cold winter. Walking in the world, Xue Chengyu has given him everything he can, what more can he ask for?

Xu Lang withdrew her melancholy, turned her head to look at Xue Chengyu who was still sleeping soundly, sighed deeply, turned and left with the basin in hand.

Xue Chengyu didn't sleep deeply because of something on his mind, Xu Hong woke up after leaving for a while, and when Xu Hong came back, Xue Chengyu had already got up and sat in front of the desk, holding a carving knife and continuing to carve hairpins.

Soon the last few knives were completed under Xue Chengyu's smooth carving techniques. Now Xue Chengyu is as quiet as a jade statue, with a tired but heroic look on his face, every move affects Xu Hong's heart, even if it is just Even the blink of an eye can mess up his mind.Xue Chengyu is like a glass of fine wine, after drinking it, he becomes addicted to it.

Xue Chengyu has a little habit of turning the carving knife when he is thinking about how to carve. Once he turns the knife, he can turn the knife like a flower, which makes people dazzled.

However, there is no one who does not get wet shoes when walking by the river. When Xue Chengyu turned his head to look at Xu Lang, he just scratched his finger with a carving knife, and blood flowed out of the wound instantly.

Seeing this change, Xu Lang immediately put down the basin in his hand, wrung out the towel, walked quickly to Xue Chengyu's side, wiped off the blood on the surface, and sucked the dirty blood from deeper into his mouth.Fortunately, the cut was not deep, and the wound formed a scab after bleeding for a short while.

Xu Lang spat out the dirty blood in his mouth, quickly found the medicine box from under the table beside him, took out a white cloth and wrapped the wound several times, carefully bandaging it.

After bandaging the wound, Xu Hong stood up, leaned against the corner of the table, looked at Xue Chengyu with complaining eyes, and sighed helplessly.

Xue Chengyu looked like a child who had done something wrong, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Xu Lang, so he just let Xu Lang stare at him.

Sometimes Xue Chengyu felt that he was quite annoying. He remembered that Xu Lang said many times not to turn the carving knife when making carved things, but he didn't take it seriously.

After all, this habit has been developed for five or six years, and it cannot be changed overnight with a few words.

Although Xue Chengyu tried his best to restrain himself and try to get rid of this habit, he would still turn around from time to time, and it was unexpected that he would succeed this time.

The two of them remained silent for a while, and it was Xue Chengyu who finally broke the silence, "Is Xiaohong angry with me again?"

Xu Lang still bowed his head and remained silent. He has long been used to Xue Chengyu bumping into each other one day and cutting his knife the next. He has reminded him many times before that it would be annoying if he keeps talking about it. Now he can only express his dissatisfaction in silence.

Xue Chengyu panicked when he saw that Xu Lang didn't speak. Xu Lang rarely ignored him. Could it be that he was really angry this time?

I had no choice but to coax Xu Hong while rubbing Xu Hong's fingers: "What a little girl... don't be angry with me, this time it's my fault, I'll just pay more attention in the future—"

I have to say that this kind of coaxing is indeed effective, Xu Hong once again let out a long sigh of relief, "How dare I be angry with the young master, the young master always thinks that such a small injury is nothing, but when I look at it, I feel My heart aches, the young master always said he would pay attention but he didn't, how can I feel at ease."

As long as Xu Lang speaks, Xue Chengyu has a way to coax him, and continues to coax him, "Then how can Xiao Hong not be angry?"

Xu Lang also had no good way to calm down at this time. He wasn't angry in the first place, so how could he calm down?

Isn't this embarrassing for him?After thinking for a while, he came up with a solution, stretched out his little finger, and said, "Young master, hook me up, and promise to be more careful when doing things in the future, so as not to hurt yourself again."

Xue Chengyu couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Xu Lang's method of pulling hooks. It was hard for Xu Lang to come up with such a naive method.But childishness is childishness, it seems that Xu Lang is very childlike.

Xue Chengyu can do whatever he wants as long as he can make Xu Lang happy. He immediately raised his little finger and hooked up with Xu Lang with a slight smile.

"I assure Xu Lang that I will be careful in doing things in the future, and I will never hurt myself again." Afterwards, I did not forget to print the big seal, saying that I meant it seriously.

After pulling Gogou, Xue Chengyu raised his eyes to look at Xu Lang. At this time, Xu Lang put away the resentful eyes, and his mood suddenly became brighter. He pouted and looked unspeakably cute.

"There are still three days until the coronation ceremony. If you can't finish carving the hairpin, don't force it. I don't have to wear it. The young master will not be able to rest well and miss the daily affairs."

Xue Chengyu fiddled with the finished hairpin, picked up the polishing tool and polished his injured finger while saying: "Since I have said it, I must do it. A gentleman values ​​integrity most. If you can't finish it on time this time, how can you let the little one do it next time?" Do you believe what I say?"

The way Xue Chengyu polished his hairpin now looked like he was pinching orchid fingers, which was indescribably funny.

Xu Lang couldn't hide the joy in his heart, turned his head and covered his mouth and coughed, "Master, I know I won't disbelieve you and you still say such things, it's just to make me happy."

Seeing Xu Lang smile, Xue Chengyu also smiled, and the movements of his hands were not idle. He polished the rough edges in a short time, and the whole was very smooth to the touch.

Xue Chengyu put the hairpin on Xu Lang's head, and took Xu Lang to the mirror to take a picture, which made Xu Lang very embarrassed.

Xu Lang took off the hairpin after only a few glances, put it on the table, and went to the table to soak the towel, "It's not the girl's house, what are you looking at...Young master, let's wash up and have breakfast, don't wait a while will be hungry..."

Xue Chengyu doesn't care about the fact that his stomach is "cuckling" now, but just asks with concern: "Do you still like Xiaohong?"

Xu Lang quickly wrung out the towel, and while helping Xue Chengyu wipe his face, he replied: "I said I don't pick anything, as long as it is a gift from the young master, I like it. This kind of fine mahogany hairpin is unique in the world. Young Master, don't you think you've spoiled the baby by giving it to me?"

"The so-called swords are given to heroes, and red powder is given to beauties. Xiaohong can only exert its effect with good looks. What kind of waste? One day I will let the world know that you are my unique treasure."

The word "baby" burned into Xu Hong's chest like a ball of flame, making his heart extremely warm. Xue Chengyu cherished him to the point of being a "baby".

Xue Chengyu's frowns and smiles are more like invisible hands, tightly grasping his heart and tugging at his heartstrings.

Xu Lang wanted to say a lot to Xue Chengyu, but the deep feelings in his heart could not be expressed in words. In the end, thousands of words full of affection turned into a hug.

Xu Lang hugged Xue Chengyu tightly, put her head on his shoulder, and said softly, "Thank you, Chengyu."

Hearing the name "Chengyu", Xue Chengyu was stunned for a moment. In the past three years, Xu Lang called him "Young Master" countless times, but he never called him "Chengyu".This "Cheng Yu" he waited too long and waited hard, but fortunately Xu Lang called it anyway.

Xue Chengyu patted Xu Hong's back lightly, trying his best to comfort him.The man in front of him really made him fall in love so much that he couldn't stop falling in love with him. No rare treasure in the world could compare to him.
