I was engaged in construction in ancient times

I heard you like lotus...

Xiao Yuhe's heart softened suddenly, and the anger that was burning like the Flaming Mountain just now disappeared instantly. He tilted his head, deliberately did not meet Duan Shubai's eyes, and complained softly: "That doesn't need you Dig with your own hands, let others do it."

Duan Shubai leaned on the iron catalpa and smiled, and said freely, "Don't worry, I can do it by myself. I promise to dig it for you in three or four days." After he finished speaking, he continued to dig. A piece of lotus pond has been planted with peach trees for a long time this afternoon. I have deep experience in digging pits, so I can save effort.

"Who cares if you can do it?" Xiao Yuhe lowered his eyes and muttered softly with his mouth pouted.

"What did you say?" Duan Shubai turned his head as if aware of it, he seemed to have heard something Xiao Yuhe said.

"Oh, it's nothing, just keep digging, I'm going to cook."

Xiao Yuhe turned and walked towards the kitchen. At noon, the stove he wanted had been remodeled, and Qiu Ran was preparing the ingredients in the kitchen. She put the washed ingredients into bamboo baskets and porcelain plates by category, waiting for him The son of the family came to show his talents.Xinyang City has few ingredients, and beside him are bamboo shoots, wild vegetables and fish from the mountains.

Qiu Ran pouted her butt and was serious about washing the vegetables. Xiao Yu and Mo Ya walked up to him and patted him, angrily said: "You still pretend!"

Qiu Ran soaked the wild vegetables in the water, raised her head innocently and said, "My lord, what's the matter?"

Xiao Yuhe remained expressionless: "You are still pretending to me, just now me and... did you hear everything he said outside?"

"I heard it, son, your voice was so loud just now, so it's natural for Qiu Ran to be here - I accidentally heard a little bit." Qiu Ran raised a finger to show that she really only heard a little bit.

"You, why did you disclose my affairs to him on purpose." Xiao Yuhe's expressionless face turned slightly red.

"Young master, what I said is the truth. Besides, young master, aren't you happy at all? I dug it for you with my own hands. See how affectionate I am for you."

Xiao Yuhe glared at him fiercely, but he agreed with Qiu Ran's words in his heart. He pressed the corner of his raised mouth, tapped Qiu Ran's forehead three times, and said in a vicious tone: "Your son is not happy at all, Although I like lotus, my lord, I hate mud even more. Seeing your sloppy uncle covered in black mud, I really want to throw out you, a disobedient talkative servant and a master of mud."

Qiu Ran was wronged and begged for mercy: "Master, Qiu Ran has been with you for ten years, so you must not abandon Qiu Ran."

Xiao Yuhe snorted, "Look at your performance."

Duan Shubai said to build a lotus pond for him in three or four days, and on the fourth day, it was actually made. There was a mud puddle about the size of the ground in front of the wooden building, which had already been filled with water. The water in the mud puddle was turbid. Duan Shubai Shubai picked up his trouser legs, tied his clothes around his waist, and stood in the middle of the muddy soil to plant lotus seeds. It happened that he had given ten catties of lotus seeds when he built the house. He probably had an image, and he searched the system space for a long time before he found it. lotus seeds.

The germination rate of other seeds given by the system is particularly high. Duan Shubai thinks that this lotus seed is also produced by the system. Although he doesn't know what kind it is, he thinks it will not be too bad, at least the survival rate is guaranteed.

While sowing the seeds, he said silently in his heart: Seeds, seeds, the flowers you grow must look better.

In case Young Master Jiao is dissatisfied, the consequences will be disastrous.

Xiao Yuhe squatted near the mire with his hands on his chin to watch Duan Shubai work. His snow-white jade boots were stained with mud, his bright yellow sleeves and snow-white hem were intertwined and folded in front of his knees, and the emerald jade hanging from his waist It quietly touched the ground when the owner didn't know it.

During the four or five days of living in Xinyang City, Xiao Yuhe began to get used to this kind of life. Although the two-story small wooden building in Xinyang City is not as good as Duan's Mansion in Yangcheng, let alone the Hou's Mansion in Beijing, it is also elegant. Indifferent, with a different interest, coupled with the vast mountains and plains around and clear water, it seems like a good place to live in seclusion in ancient books.

Rows of peach trees are planted on both sides of the road. Maybe next year, you will be able to see the grand scene of peach blossoms blooming all over the trees.

Xiao Yuhe stared at Duan Shubai, who was walking in the muddy water, and felt that this man was really strange, as if he could do everything. He was not like a scholar who recited poems and wrote stereotypes every day, but he could repair the stove, dig Lotus pond, making chairs...

Duan Shubai, who was planting lotus flowers, felt that the sight behind him was becoming more and more difficult to ignore. He felt in a trance that he was a poor lower-class working people who were being guarded by the supervisor. He frowned and couldn't help turning around and asked: "You have been staring at What am I looking for?"

Xiao Yuhe was taken aback by his sudden utterance. When he came back to his senses, his face flushed, and he poked his neck and pretended to say: "Do you think I'm looking at you? Don't be sentimental, I'm looking at you." It will be the lotus leaf that will meet the sky in a few months."

Duan Shubai, who was "self-confident", straightened his body to relieve the pressure on his waist, and joked after hearing the words: "Master Xiao, then if you look forward, can you see the lotus root under the lotus leaf? It is said that sweet and sour lotus root slices are a good appetizer.”

"You know how to drink, why don't you just live in the wine jar?"

Duan Shubai was not angry at all after being bullied, he smiled and said: "My biggest wish in life is to live in a wine jar, young master, you know my heart well, alas, when it comes to wine, I can't help it Itchy mouth, Mr. Xiao, for the sake of digging the lotus pond for you for three or four days, can you please go and get a wine bag to feed me a few sips?"

"You!" Xiao Yuhe slammed his nose in the face, slapped him a few times, turned around angrily and walked towards the wooden building.

Duan Shubai saw that Young Master Jiao left in a huff, shook his head and continued to work with a smile. The purpose of his words was not to drink, but mainly to coax the little supervisor back. He did not believe that Young Master Jiao would really obey What he said, what he said just now, he himself felt that his face was really big.

But after drinking a cup of tea, Xiao Yuhe walked out of the wooden building with the wine bag, and said in a bad mood: "Hey, the wine is here."

Duan Shubai raised his head in disbelief, and he really brought it. He couldn't help but want to touch his face, whether it has doubled in size today.

"Do you want to drink? Come here!"

He looked at Young Master Jiao who was still urging him with a smelly face, as if a little fluffy fox stretched out the tip of its tail and stirred the ripples in his heart, Duan Shu smiled, flattered, as if oppressed The people stood up and became the masters and walked to the edge of the quagmire.

Duan Shu supported the ground with his white hands, and tentatively said: "My hands are covered with mud, you can feed me."

When he said this, his face swelled again.

Xiao Yuhe remained silent, unscrewed the lid with a sullen face, and leaned over to feed him the drink.

After Duan Shubai drank enough, Xiao Yuhe helped him wipe the wine spilled from his mouth with a handkerchief.

Duan Shubai felt uneasy in his heart, he was disturbed by the sudden gentleness of Young Master Jiao, he couldn't tell what it was like, Duan Shubai felt weird, and Young Master Jiao was also weird, he felt weird but didn't know Knowing the reason, he was upset.

"Okay, it stinks to death, you smell of sweat and mud, stay away from me!"

This sentence ignited the irritability in Duan Shubai's heart, why do I smell of sweat and mud, and who am I soaking in this muddy water for?

He looked at the young master Jiao who disliked him, and Duan Shubai, who had become fat and consciously turned over to be the master, couldn't hold back, grabbed Xiao Yuhe's arm and pulled it, Xiao Yuhe lost his center of gravity, and fell with an "ah" Into the mire.

The muddy water covered Xiao Yuhe's brocade clothes, he stood up helplessly on the soft mud, the muddy water covered his knees, the soaked clothes stuck to his body, Duan Shubai pulled him Unsatisfied after getting down, he grabbed a handful of mud and wiped it on Xiao Yu's and Guangjie's pretty faces, put his hips on his hips and smiled viciously, "You're covered in mud now, let's not dislike anyone else."

Xiao Yuhe wiped off the mud on his face with the back of his hand in a daze, looked at the black mud on his hands, his eyes stared as if he wanted to eat people, "Duan Shubai, you bastard!!"

There are too many lice, don't be afraid of itching, the matter has been done, Duan Shubai is not afraid, and replied loudly: "The bastard is here."

Furious, Xiao Yuhe ignored him, panted, bent down and grabbed two handfuls of black mud, and angrily threw them at Duan Shubai. Duan Shubai raised his right hand, blocking the successive waves of mud attacks from Young Master Jiao.

The day he threw flower petals at each other, he expected that one day they would throw mud at each other.

Duan Shubai thought of Zhugedi afterwards, he felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was much more normal after being smashed into a pile of mud by Young Master Jiao.

After Xiao Yuhe vented his anger, he saw that Duan Shubai was thrown into the mud by him, it was as funny as a big cat that fell into the mud, he couldn't help laughing, and finally he did, realizing that his He looked almost the same as the other party, but he put on an angry expression again.

Xiao Yuhe gouged Duan Shubai viciously for a few times, he turned around and decided to ignore this bastard, he must go back and shower three times to wash off all the mud on his body.

Duan Shubai grabbed Xiao Yuhe's wrist.

Xiao Yuhe shook off him, "What are you doing?"

"It's all dirty anyway, how about playing in the muddy water a few more times?"

"What fun is there in such dirty muddy water? Go and play by yourself."

"Hey, don't go, come and experience for yourself the future growth environment of your favorite lotus flower. I can guarantee that you are such a charming young master, and you have never experienced the birthplace of 'Aihua'. There is a word called-Aiwujiwu , maybe you—”

"You, if you talk nonsense again, you will sleep here today!"

"Okay, I won't talk anymore, I'll teach you how to make a clay figurine. Have you ever seen an old man selling clay figurines on the street? Let me make a 'you' for you." Duan Shubai grabbed a ball by the pond Mud, make a clay figurine for Young Master Jiao with your own hands, made of fresh mud, a genuine clay figurine.

He didn't have much artistic talent, so he made a "Xiao Yuhe" like a stick figure.

"Look, it will be pinched soon."

Xiao Yuhe almost laughed angrily when he saw the mud stick figure that was said to be him.

He snatched the stick figure from Duan Shubai's hand and kneaded it into a ball, "Let me pinch a 'you' for you to see."

Duan Shubai waited and watched.

The mud ball was quickly formed in Xiao Yuhe's hands. After a while, a vivid little turtle appeared in his hands. Xiao Yuhe, who worked rigorously, carefully painted the turtle shell with stones. After everything was done, his eyebrows and eyes Showing Duan Shubai his work with a smile, "Look, this is you."

Duan Shubai nodded with a smile, he understood what Xiao Yuhe meant, and said submissively, "Okay, I'm a bastard tortoise."

"You are not." Xiao Yuhe's smile froze, and he said sullenly, if you are a bastard, then I married you, what am I?

"It's getting late, and the night wind is getting cold. You should go back and take a hot bath. You are weak, so be careful not to catch a cold." Duan Shubai began to regret pulling Xiao Yuhe down as he blew the cool wind.

He recalled Xiao Yuhe's weak and pale appearance when he was ill, his heart throbbed suddenly, and he cursed himself a thousand times in his heart.
