Interstellar: Besieged

The sound of dull footsteps echoed in the empty corridor, and the gold-plated wall lamps were turned on one by one, illuminating the faces of people, as well as the complex murals painted on the walls.A desolate and ancient smell, just from those complicated brushstrokes, filled the whole house.

Ning Yao walked all the way and carefully looked at the property that had already belonged to him. It felt like he had traveled back to the Europe of the ancient earth era, without any sense of reality.If it is exchanged for money, it is estimated that there will be a great sense of reality.The Tiancai team following behind even looked around and kept their mouths open. It was not much better than Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, only Ning or was quite normal.But looking at his smiling face, God knows what he is thinking.

After being reminded by Chu Shuo, Ning Yao finally remembered the origin of the 'Grandpa Cui' who was leading the way.Ye Shuhe's housekeeper, she followed her when she married the Chu family, but after Ye Shuhe died, he returned to Lisha to take care of the old house for her.This person's name is Cui Yunsheng. When Chu Fengjun followed Ye Shuhe, he didn't know that he was fighting in the recruit camp, so his qualifications were extremely old, and Chu Fengjun had to be courteous when he saw him.

Originally, Ning Yao didn't pay much attention to this old butler, but when she saw him today, she could see that Cui Yunsheng was definitely not an ordinary butler.

Dinner was eaten in a special restaurant. Ning Yao and Chu Shuo sat at the same table, and the Tiancai team filled a luxurious long table. Although the priorities were divided, Cui Yunsheng's attitude did not make people feel slighted. It's just that this old man is too polite. Although he doesn't find fault with the guests, but if he stands by and looks at him, if he doesn't pay attention, he will definitely be roasted into a suckling pig by those eyes and eat himself.

Ning Yao looked at Ning Hou'er's people with knives and forks pretending to be polite, but she was amused. She elegantly cut steaks and drank red wine, and then praised Cui Yunsheng that the food was really good.Cui Yunsheng smiled and talked to him a few words about this dish, and found that Ning Yao knew a lot about it, so his eyes softened a lot when he looked at him.

It's just... Ning Yao felt that the softer he looked at her, the more ominous she felt.

Sure enough, after dinner, Ning Houer, Ning Momo, and the others fled to the room assigned to them as if they had been pardoned. Chu Shuo went to the study, but Ning Yao was caught by Cui Yunsheng—looking at the account book.

"Grandpa Cui, are you kidding me?" Ning Yao looked at the hill-like pile of books in front of her, and couldn't believe it. Is there anyone who doesn't use electronic books these days? !And the most important thing is not this, with Ning Yao's processing ability, it doesn't matter if there are more.What is fatal is why even looking through a few ledgers is spending, spending, spending!

Water and electricity bills, various fees, the money needed to maintain such a large place for a day, Ning Yao's scalp tingles when he thinks about it.He won't have to come out with these now, will he?Can you directly use Major General Chu to repay the debt...

"Of course not," Cui Yunsheng said with a smile: "Master Ning, don't worry, please read the bottom few books on your left."

Ning Yao took a look, and she immediately beamed with joy. It was income, and there was also a ledger. After all, Ye Shuhe was not the one who abused the younger generation. In this way, the income and expenditure were balanced, and there was a lot of surplus, which was enough to support Ning Yao. Forever.

"Miss, she has several other real estates, which are all counted in this house. I have been taking care of them all these years and made some small money. Mrs. Du has not come to pick them up these years, so they will be transferred directly to you, Young Master Ning. account." Cui Yunsheng continued: "But Master Ning must read these accounts tonight."

This Cui Yunsheng...couldn't be specially testing him?Ning Yao once again glanced at the mountain of ledger thoughtfully, although she was puzzled, she still nodded, "Where is Chu Shuo..."

"Don't worry, I will naturally tell him about Young Master Chu."

In this case, Ning Yao had nothing to say, and resigned herself to sitting down and looking at the account book.The bug installed on Felix's body during the period did work. Ning Yao watched and listened to the conversation between Felix and Yuan Muzhi, without any delay.

But the content of the conversation between the two was lacklustre. It was Yuan Muzhi who warned his grandson not to provoke Chu Shuo and Ning Yao, but to follow his orders and never disturb his position.

There is nothing surprising about this in itself, but the words Yuan Muzhi used to describe Chu Shuo made Ning Yao a little concerned.He said, 'He's that man's grandson', Ning Yao intuitively felt that 'that man' was not Chu Fengjun, but if it wasn't Chu Fengjun, only Ye Shuhe was left.

Could it be... this Prime Minister Yuan was also one of Ye Shuhe's admirers back then?It was a lot of fun.

But other than that, the news from the bug was lackluster.After Felix listened to Yuan Muzhi's lecture, he went back to his room. He was so depressed that he played the game by himself, making Ning Yao's mind full of 'biu—biu—biu—' The sound is like a puzzle game played by a five-year-old child.In the end, he simply gave the job to Xiao Xigua, who would definitely love to hear it.

Ning Yao continued to look at the account book. He has a characteristic, that is, he can make people feel that he is absorbed in everything he reads and enjoys it.But in fact, looking at the account book is really boring. Ning Yao has been waiting for Chu Shuo to come to rescue him, but because Cui Menshen is in charge, she can't see him all night.Simply bad reviews.

But what is even worse is that after he stayed up most of the night until two or three o'clock in the morning to read all the books and check all the data, Cui Yunsheng took out an electronic folder, drew out a form, and said: "Ning Young master, all the data is here, you can see if it is the same as your calculation."

Why do you want me to read it again when everything is already done?And still watching all night...

But he is Grandpa Cui, kind Grandpa Cui, Ning Yao's face will never turn dark, she took it with a smile, finished it with a smile, then stood up, said with a smile: "Grandpa Cui has been with me for so long, You are tired, since there is nothing else to do, you should go back and rest first."

"I'm not tired, but Master Ning, please rest early. Tomorrow I will take you to inspect a total of six properties including this Ye residence. We will start at seven."

Ning Yao: "...Grandpa Cui is in charge, I am very relieved, you don't need to read it, do you?"

Cui Yunsheng shook his head and said firmly: "No, I have managed it for decades. Now that Master Ning has finally come here, I must take you to have a look. This is my duty."

"Okay then, we'll leave on time tomorrow." Seeing that she couldn't shirk, Ning Yao had no choice but to agree, and hurried back to her room to rest.

Back in the room, the light was still on. As soon as Ning Yao opened the door and went in, she saw the back of Chu Shuo sitting quietly reading a book. The hazy lamp shadow was smudged. His posture holding the book and his bare wrist were still as exciting as ever.

"Why didn't you sleep?" Ning Yao walked over.

Chu Shuo put down the book, turned around, "waiting for you, are you tired?"

"Actually, it's just looking at the ledger. How tiring it can be, it can't be more tiring than going to the battlefield, right?" Ning Yao sat on Chu Shuo's lap with a big buttocks, Chu's free chair. But you said, is he testing me, or is he dissatisfied with me?"

"Grandpa Cui is actually quite satisfied with you. He has such a personality, and our family has come here." Speaking of this, Chu Shuo suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help laughing: "Actually, my father was very rebellious when he was a teenager. He doesn’t want to join the army, politics or business, he hopes to be a painter.”

"In the end...Grandpa Cui is out?"

"Well, he took my dad by his side to teach for a month, and nothing happened."

This is the master... What kind of onion am I, a devil instructor?Ning Yao nodded, "I think I should go to bed early, and I must not be late tomorrow."

Saying that, Ning Yao got up to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but after taking two steps, she suddenly stopped, and looked back at Chu Shuo mysteriously, "Major General Chu... have you ever been rebellious before?"

"No." Chu Shuo replied firmly.

"Really?" Ning Yao narrowed her eyes.

Chu Shuo continued to look at him calmly, "The only time I rebelled was when I replaced Ning Wutong and chose you."

"Who asked you this!" Ning Yao turned and left.

For the Nth confrontation, Major General Chu won again.

The next day, Ning Yao woke up before 05:30, not by herself, but by the terminal.He slept for two or three hours a night, and now he wanted to run away, but he was afraid of some important news, so he picked up the terminal and took a look - it was the goddamn Young Master Qi.

Qi Lian: Rather goblin! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Ning Yao got a headache when she saw the long string of exclamation marks, and Young Master Qi must have been driven crazy by something again.

Ning Yao:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Qi Lian: I want to curse my uncle to never watch TV without a remote control!Never stop by car!Eating dumplings is always stuffed with garlic!

Ning Yao: What happened to your uncle?

So sleepy, Ning Yao didn't even bother to type punctuation.

Qi Lian: He came to ask me to marry again!Ever since you got married, he has been urging me every now and then!Now the whole Qianye city has to know that Qi Lian hates to marry me!No, it’s hate to marry (╯‵ ′)╯︵┴─┴What a broken input method!!!!!!!

Ning Yao: very good

Qi Lian: I'm very bad!Now I can't wait for someone to match me every day, the lady of that family and the son of this family pretend to meet by chance all day long!There are no chance encounters that are so untechnical. Did you encounter them when you were doing big things in the toilet? !What a bad memory!Even if you are married, you will not be happy, okay? !

Ning Yao was overjoyed, and laughed out loud.Chu Shuo also woke up, dragged his body back out of the bed, put him in his arms and covered him, "So happy so early in the morning?"

"No, it's that guy Qi Lian...he was really forced into marriage." Ning Yao arched his head, found a comfortable position, and then replied with fingers flying like flying:

Who did you meet in the toilet?So talented.

Qi Lian: It's the president of the student union when I was in college. You met me when you went to school to find me. It's the offshoot of the royal family who fell in love with you at first sight. What's his name... Gou Deman?

Ning Yao: His name is Goodman.

Qi Lian: Anyway, it’s pretty much the same. Chu Shuo isn’t here. His scumbag will definitely trouble Deman when he sees it. You see, he usually sees that my nose is not my nose and my eyes are not eyes. He must be jealous of me, hahahaha Otherwise, Fairy Ning, you can marry me instead, so that I don't have to be forced to marry.

Ning Yao thought, I was really hit by your crow's mouth, Major General Chu is right behind.So Ning Yao decided not to look back, but a hand went around his shoulder, snatched his terminal without any explanation, and entered.

Ning Yao: I am here.

Qi Lian: Damn it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Qi Lian knew at a glance that it was Chu Shuo, seeing the tone and the concise words.Hey, it’s true that you can’t speak badly about people in novels. Once you say it and turn around, that person must be right behind you, more elusive than a ghost.

"Hey..." Qi Lian sighed, entered the last message, and put down the terminal, feeling really tired.

Qi Lian: I'm dead, please burn the paper if you need anything.

Then he remembered the conversation between his uncle and him last night, and felt even more that his fearless Young Master Qi had encountered a bottleneck in such an unruly life.

Yesterday, Qi Lian's uncle Qi Tong successfully blocked Qi Lian when he was returning home, so the two fought again for [-] rounds, and their voices became hoarse, which led Qi Lian to choose to text Ning Yao instead of calling him today.

Actually, Qi Tong was fine, but he was provoked by Ning Yao's two sons, grabbed Qi Lian and said, "Look at Ning Yao's son who can make soy sauce, you are already 28, why don't you think about getting married?"

"Uncle, it's wartime now, do you know that during wartime? I don't have the mood to get married."

"Fart! As long as you are still worried about the country and the people, isn't Major General Chu in a hurry to get married? Isn't Ning Yao also married?" Qi Tong rolled his eyes at his elder nephew, "Just you and the Chu family. It doesn't matter, I won't arrange any marriage for you. Which one do you like, male, female, old, young, anyway, you have to get me one back. I think Phil is good, you always stay together There must be something wrong with your son, you have a problem or he has a problem? Just use medicine to bring down the overlord."

"Is there anyone like you? Uncle, you think the vegetable market buys Chinese cabbage!" Qi Lian pretended to be angry, "Besides, my dad is not in a hurry..."

Qi Tong interrupted him, "Your dad? Just like your dad is in the flower and bird market pet industry, any day his precious hello cat is in heat is more important than your marriage!"

People are hard to tear down, uncle.

"That's a kitty cat, Uncle."

"I don't care if it's hello or kitty, anyway, you have to get married quickly!"

"But I'm only 28, and I'm so young! You can't deprive me of my right to pursue freedom!"

Qi Tong slapped the table passionately, "Fart! It is your responsibility as the heir to carry on the family!"

"God knows who tricked me into becoming this bastard's heir!"

"What's wrong with me!"

"Uncle, what's your stupid reason? Why can I support Ning Goblin after I become an heir, and I can bully men and women in Yurou Township. When I become the heir, I will be very handsome, very handsome, super handsome, and even handsome. !" When Qi Lian thought of the history of blood and tears over the past ten years, he felt an urge to hit the wall. God knows he is the laziest person, but in the end he was trained in the dark and dark, and was thrown into the military academy again. , he is a businessman who goes to the military academy to do some knitting!

Qi Tong blushed, this matter was indeed his fault... But who has never cheated a child, let alone a well-known brat.

But the elder nephew's words should be despised, "Where do you get out of the water, [-] out of the water, even if you are too handsome, you think you are a jellyfish."

Uncle, I want to curse you! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Qi Lian went completely insane, after a night of insanity, he woke up the next day wilting, and then found that his damn long hair was knotted, with split ends, and hit the pillow a hundred times angrily.Fortunately, there was Fei Er who stopped Qi Lian's crazy behavior, carried him to the soft couch outside, combed his hair, cut his split ends, and served him until he was comfortable.After sending text messages to Ning Yao for a while, it was almost clear.

Hearing the sound of scissors cutting hair, Qi Lian looked at the picture in the mirror in front of him that Phil was seriously cutting hair with small golden scissors. His slender fingers brushed over the black hair, and the golden scissors went through it. Qi Lian felt... …Very comfortable.

Especially when Phil's fingers touched the root of his hair and the hair was slightly moved, it was very comfortable.

Qi Lian couldn't help but look a little dazed, and couldn't help but think of what his uncle said about the relationship between him and Phil... This person has been by his side for many years, and he has been inseparable for several years, almost never separated.If it can continue like this, it seems... not bad.

Why don't the overlords force their bows?

No, no, Phil must belong to Lao Tzu. Is it necessary to do so much?He won't leave me.One day, make a cool, domineering and handsome confession, and he will fall under my suit pants in minutes.

"Master?"

Just as Qi Lian was thinking, he suddenly heard Phil calling him, so he hurried back to his senses, "Huh? What did you say?"

"Lando happened to have a problem with a business over there, why don't we go over there to avoid the limelight?"

"That's it..." Qi Lian thought to himself, if we take you down, there's no need to hide from my uncle, but after thinking about it, it's good to go out for a walk, just to take a trip to the White Alliance, "Well, you go Arrange it. Hey, Phil, do you think I should just cut my hair? Long hair is so annoying, and it takes time to take care of it..."

Phil paused his hand, and then said: "Don't cut it, young master, long hair looks good."

"Do you like long ones?"

"Ah."

"Cut, what kind of taste..." Qi Lian muttered, his ears a little warm, "Well, if you don't cut it, then don't cut it, it's annoying..."

"En." Phil replied softly, combing Qi Lian's hair with the comb in his hand, and holding it in his hand, it happened to be full.

He looked up, and the morning sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows next to the soft couch, and the beige curtains swayed gently, crushing the sunlight and stuffing it into the air.Qi Lian, who was only wearing a white cotton nightgown, was lying lazily, with a long leg protruding from the hem of the nightgown, and it was displayed in front of his eyes.The sunlight traced his small collarbone, he closed his eyes slightly, a lock of hair on his forehead was always curled up like a dull hair, and the long black hair was just grabbed in his hand and combed again and again, Just like the three thousand threads of love mentioned in ancient books.

Phil tightly gripped the comb in his hand, and the comb teeth pierced into the flesh of his palm, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

It would be great if, if time could stand still at this moment.
