He Wei

Xue Chengyu leaned on Xu Lang's shoulder for a long time, and when he was no longer sad, he sat up straight, adjusted his emotions, and returned to his usual appearance.

The past is like smoke, since it has passed, why bother to mention it again, and why bother to be persistent.

Xu Lang tidied up the cloak behind Xue Chengyu, and asked with concern: "Actually, the purpose of the young master coming out in such a hurry today is to find a revolving lantern similar to Mrs. Xue's?"

Xue Chengyu sighed deeply, and nodded silently. He has searched all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he has never seen a lamp that can be compared with the one made by Mrs. Xue.

Maybe it's because he has a high vision, and he always feels that the revolving lanterns sold at the stall are too simple to catch his eyes.

He also thought about making one by himself, but when it came time to put on the lamp, he didn't know what to draw or what to write for the occasion, so he had to put it aside temporarily.

Xu Lang didn't know what to say at this time, but he might as well explore the truth when he was bored, so he asked tentatively, "I wonder what the lamp made by Mrs. Xue looks like?"

"Actually, there is nothing special about the lamp itself. The body of the lamp is a different palace lantern with a black frame, but the painting on the lamp surface is cherry blossoms... My mother knew that I like cherry blossoms, and she specially drew various postures of cherry trees in four seasons..."

This was the first time I heard that cherry blossoms and cherry trees were painted on revolving lanterns when I grew up. No wonder I went around all the neighborhood stalls in the whole city and couldn't find the lantern that Xue Chengyu liked. It turned out that the requirements were too harsh.

At this moment, Xu Lang suddenly remembered that there was a shop specializing in making lanterns in the south of the city. They just passed by and didn't go in because they were anxious, maybe they could try their luck there.

"Master, I remember that there seems to be a store on South Street that we haven't entered yet. Shall we go and have a look?"

"The shop on South Street..." Xue Chengyu fell into deep thought as he read these words silently, and he woke up like a dream after a while, and immediately said: "That should be Uncle Sun's shop. People in Jiangnan say that the lamp surfaces he painted are lifelike. Maybe he's the only one who can help me."

After finishing speaking, Xue Chengyu stood up, but just as he took a step, his left leg was in unbearable pain as if cramped, so he had to sit back down again.

As expected, his body was going downhill.

Seeing this situation, Xu Lang hurriedly rubbed Xue Chengyu's legs. The current situation is not recorded in the medical art, and it may be that the chronic disease has not been eradicated and the disease has recurred.

After rubbing for a while, Xu Lang felt that Xue Chengyu's legs were not as stiff as before, and asked softly, "Master, do you feel better?"

Xue Chengyu's eyebrows were tightly frowned, and he stood up with great effort while supporting the pillars. After feeling it for a while, he didn't feel much better. His hamstrings were still tense and painful, and stretching them hard didn't help. He could only rest here before leaving .

"My leg still hurts and I need to rest before I can move. This place is not far from South Street. Please, Xiaolang, walk for me and ask about it."

Xu Lang had no good solution for the time being. Although he was worried about Xue Chengyu's safety, he couldn't protect him all the time. Thinking of Xue Chengyu's status in the south of the Yangtze River, no one would dare to commit murder among them. : "Master, please don't leave here until I come back. If Xiaohong comes back and can't find Master, she will be sad."

Xue Chengyu had nothing to do with the extremely cute man in front of him, looked at him dotingly, and waved his hand to signal him to go quickly.

In order to save time, Xu Lang trotted all the way, breaking through the obstruction of the crowd and coming to the store.

He walked around the store but did not see the same style of revolving lantern as Xue Chengyu said. Just as Uncle Sun came out of the back hall, Xu Lang hurried forward and asked, "Dare to ask Boss Sun if he can deny making a revolving lantern? All you need is a lamp." Just paint the cherry blossoms of the four seasons on the surface."

"Cherry blossoms on the revolving lantern?" Uncle Sun twirled his goatee and pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "You belong to Master Xue, right? Lu Shouxi, revolving lanterns with cherry blossoms and cherry trees are not common, and please tell Young Master Xue, the old man can't handle such lanterns..."

Hearing that Old Uncle Sun couldn't do Xu Hong's unavoidable disappointment, he still asked persistently: "Is it really impossible? My young master really wants one, so I ask Boss Sun to help!"

Old Uncle Sun was also a businessman after all, and he saw that Xu Hong would not give up easily and did not say anything dead, so he kept his words alive and said, "It's not that I don't want to sell it, it's that it takes a long time to make this lamp, even if I start making it now. It won't be finished until tomorrow afternoon, if Young Master Xue can wait, then I will do it."

"I can wait! I can wait!" Xu Lang said excitedly. Out of gratitude, Xu Lang clasped his fists to Boss Sun and said, "Thank you, Boss Sun, for your help. My young master is very grateful. I will pick it up tomorrow."

Boss Sun twirled his goatee again, nodded when he thought it was feasible, and asked Xu Lang to come and pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

Xu Lang anxiously told Xue Chengyu the good news, and when he thought of realizing Xue Chengyu's long-term wish, he was so excited that he wanted to rush out of the door.

When he was in a hurry to do things, he tended to get irritated. Xu Hong didn't have time to see if there was anyone outside the door, so he just turned around and bumped into the person behind him.

The force of the impact was not small, Xu Wei quickly took two steps back, and when he was about to make amends after standing still, he found that the person who was hit was actually Qiao Jian...

I don't know whether today is good luck or bad luck. In Xu Hong's impression, when he dodged just now, he seemed to be in a panic and stepped on Qiao Jian's feet... Qiao Jian was most concerned about whether his new clothes were clean. Can't he be mad?

At this time, Qiao Jian's attention was all focused on the shoes, and he didn't pay attention to the person who bumped into him at all. He bent down, patted the dirt on the shoes carefully, and opened his mouth to scold regardless of his image: "Which dog is this that can't walk?" Long eyes, dirty the clothes of Grandpa's new work!"

The servants around him found that their master didn't see Xu Lang whispering in his ear, Qiao Jian didn't notice Xu Lang until he heard the reminder. Well, it’s just the watchdog of the Xue family, what’s the matter, did Mr. Jie lose his master?”

Xu Lang knew that Qiao Jian was deliberately humiliating him, and he was not as knowledgeable as he was, so he saluted and apologized to him full of apology: "I'm really sorry, there are so many people on the street, the villain bumped into the second young master before he had time to dodge, and he still looks at the second young master Forgive me."

It's a pity that Qiao Jian, who has always been used to being domineering, would not give up this rare opportunity to humiliate Xu Hong. He still said unreasonably: "Oh, your master is lame and you are blind. The Xue family is all sick. No wonder you can’t see people clearly on such a bright street.”

"You!" Xu Lang wanted to endure the calm for a while, but he didn't expect Qiao Jian to say such vicious words. If he said he was useless, he would admit it, but Qiao Jian put his nose on his face and regarded his etiquette as cowardice, even with The Xue family was also scolded, how could he bear it!

"I bumped into the second young master, and I stepped on the shoes. If the second young master wants to scold me, just come at me alone, don't implicate others!"

Qiao Jian looked down on Xu Lang from the bottom of his heart, pointed at Xu Lang and the servants behind him and said with a smile: "Have you seen that the watchdog of the Xue family is still loyal, but I don't know if this dog is also on Xue Chengyu's bed?" So obedient." The servants laughed wantonly when they heard what Qiao Jian said, as if Xu Hong didn't exist.

Xu Lang clenched his fists and wanted to get angry, but found that there were more and more people watching the theater around him. In order not to lose Xue's family demeanor, he had to suppress his anger, and politely said to Qiao Jian: "This is the villain's fault. How can the villain be forgiven by the second young master?"

Qiao Jian looked Xu Lang up and down, and snorted, "Kneel down and bark like a dog three times, and if you publicly admit that you are Xue Chengyu's dog, I will forgive you."

Xu Lang couldn't bear it any longer, and said angrily, "Don't bully people too much!"

Qiao Jian glanced at Xu Lang, smiled evilly, and raised his hand to wink at the servants: "I leave it to you." The servants understood what the master meant, rolled up their arms and sleeves, and slowly approached Xu Lang.

When the onlookers saw that Qiao Jian's men were going to attack, they couldn't help but start to sympathize with Xu Lang. Xu Lang's thin and small appearance would definitely not be able to stand the punches and kicks.

Just when the subordinates had already raised their fists and were about to carry out their atrocities, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from outside the crowd.

"The second young master's temper is still so bad, and I don't know where the Qiao family's self-cultivation has gone. I don't know if beating a dog depends on the owner!"

As soon as the voice fell, the crowd automatically gave way, and Xue Chengyu calmly walked in front of Xu Hong, protecting him behind him.

Qiao Jian saw that Xue Chengyu's arrogance had diminished but still raised his head, snorted coldly, and said, "Who was I at that time, it turned out to be Young Master Xue, did Young Master Xue just find out that his dog was lost? "

Xue Chengyu didn't care about Qiao Jian's words. He just turned around and glanced at Xu Lang, and replied with a smile, "If the second young master said that Xu Lang is a watchdog, he is also a loyal hunting dog. The young master is with many vicious dogs, thinking that enjoying the stars and the moon can be a human being, but he is actually a dog head. The hunting dogs guard the house and protect the people, and the vicious dogs will only listen to the dog's head. People talk to dogs, isn't it? joke?"

After hearing this, Xu Hong couldn't help admiring Xue Chengyu secretly in his heart. This exquisite heart is really not for nothing, even cursing people is beating around the bush, and treating them in the same way as others. If you dare to say that you are a dog, then you and your subordinates They are all dogs!

Qiao Jian was so stunned by Xue Chengyu's words that he couldn't speak, and finally his face turned red before he said: "Okay, Xue Chengyu, how dare you call me a dog! Just wait, sooner or later, I will deal with your affairs. Shake it out and let your reputation be ruined!" After speaking, he left with his servants angrily.

The onlookers saw that the incident was not a big deal, so they stopped watching, and they dispersed after a while. It was only then that Xu Lang's heart fell back into his heart.

He knew that what he did was wrong, and if Xue Chengyu didn't show up, he didn't know what would have happened. Xu Wei didn't dare to talk to Xue Chengyu, and didn't dare to look at him, so he followed behind Xue Chengyu obediently, and returned to the past Under the corridor for rest.

After waiting for a few people, Xue Chengyu immediately removed the shelf he was holding, carefully checked whether Xu Wei was injured, and asked with concern: "That idiot didn't hit you, did he? Did you feel uncomfortable? Huh?"

Xu Lang was confused by Xue Chengyu's actions, blinked his eyes in confusion, and took a long time before he came back, and replied nunuo: "I'm fine, Qiao Jian didn't hit me... It's just that I Let the young master worry..."

Hearing Xu Lang say it's okay, Xue Chengyu let go of his heart, and let out a long sigh of relief: "It's fine, it's fine, let's go home!" Then he pulled Xu Lang towards home go.

However, like a child who did something wrong, Xu Hong still stood there with his head down, and asked timidly, "Young master, don't you blame me..."

Xue Chengyu raised the corners of his mouth dotingly, held Xu Yu's hand tightly, and comforted him: "I love Xiaohong before it's too late, how can I blame Xiaohong? Don't take what that idiot Qiao Jian said seriously. I, Xue Chengyu, pride myself on being upright and worthy of the world , it’s not something that can be brought down so easily. I’ll take care of it if something happens, don’t be afraid, Xiao Hong!”

It took a while for Xu Lang to force a wry smile on his face, and weakly agreed: "Okay, let's go home."
