Chapter 156 The Lady of the Constable's House (34)
"Master, we won't tell anyone about this." After all, they would lose face.
When Xie Lize left the stove, he suddenly stepped on something and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Gu Ke supported him.
Everyone looked down and saw that "The Lover's Night Meeting with Qiao Jie" had been turned out. Xie Lize looked at the group of subordinates who had embarrassed him today and his face turned cold.
The sun was about to set behind the mountains, and darkness enveloped them, as well as a sense of defeat.
"Master, calm down!"
"Is it funny? I think it's quite funny."
"Who is looking for the book?"
"Ye Si's."
"Okay, Ye Si, right? Go back and learn what it means to be a proper scholar. Don't tarnish the reputation of scholars in the world. Copy the Four Books and Five Classics for me ten times!"
"Yes."
"And who was watching the stove just now, who was cooking the noodle soup, who served the wontons to the guests, who started the show and said those dirty words..."
Almost no one in the group was immune to the consequences. Xie Lize scolded them one by one: "Ye San and Ye Qi, you go to Mr. Gu's place and be the firemen for three months. See how the stove is lit and how the food is cooked."
"And Ye Er, go and learn how to make beggar's chicken for three months, and make a beggar's chicken that won't stain the customers' clothes easily."
"Ye Liu, you are the last disciple of the miracle doctor. Go back and study again. Don't let someone secretly give you drugs next time and then happily count the money for you."
"..."
Gu Ke said: "Your Majesty, this is not something we can predict. The poison in your body has just been cured, and your skills have just been improved. You must be careful not to get too angry and hurt your body."
Xie Lize finally calmed down a bit and said to Gu Ke with shame, "I am not angry. You have troubled me again today by accompanying me through the gates of hell."
"This is a blessing in disguise."
"Hahaha, sir, you are open-minded. It is me who is petty. I am ashamed. I will treat you to a meal."
Xie Lize was about to get on the carriage, but seeing that the means of transportation had fallen to the ground, he could only smile, wipe the dust off the mask, and walk back to Guyu County with Gu Ke...
Xiao Zhuoxuan quickly brought Gu Yuxi back home. After watching Gu Yuxi put away the wax figurine and go upstairs, he asked anxiously, "Xi'er, are you okay? Did those bad guys hurt you?"
"I'm fine. Didn't you go to Jiangnan?"
Only then did Gu Yuxi realize that she was still wearing fake makeup and quickly covered her face, but the man opposite her smiled and took her hand away.
"Xi'er, this makeup is too ugly. I'll help you remove it."
"You haven't told me why you came back yet?"
The woman walked to the dressing table and took off her fake face, beard, mole and other things. When she turned around, she saw Xiao Zhuoxuan already waiting for her with a basin of water.
"Xi'er, wash your face. Yuan Xin took me out of the city gate and we met a man. The man said that the county magistrate had something urgent to discuss with him. We came back later."
"Then how did you..."
"How come I'm by your side again? Because the man who brought the news was the scoundrel who was sneaking around your yard a few days ago. After he came back, Yuan Xin suddenly said that he didn't need to go to Jiangnan anymore. I came back to find you, and I saw a figure jumping out of the wall..."
"So you followed me all the way?"
"I didn't do it on purpose. I saw many martial arts masters following you around, and I was afraid that you... well."
Gu Yuxi pecked the lips, and the man was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he touched his lips and smiled foolishly.
[Satisfaction: 78%]
"Fool, aren't you afraid of getting into danger? Those people are not easy to mess with."
"Your safety is more important."
Xiao Zhuoxuan held Gu Yuxi in his arms, and after thinking of something, he asked, "Xi'er, the technique you just used has the ability to increase one's strength. What school or sect is this unique technique from?"
Speaking of the infuriating martial arts, Gu Yuxi complained: "That was my own creation, called the Forget Worry Sutra. The original intention was to make the opponent reach a high level of comfort and forget their duties, and then suddenly attack them to destroy their martial arts and damage their foundation. But those hooligans took advantage of my loophole to force the poison and improve their martial arts!"
"Don't be angry. It's not good to get sick from anger. They ruined your financial future today. I got the compensation. See if there's anything you like? They're all yours."
"I also received compensation. This jade ring is pretty good, isn't it?"
Xiao Zhuoxuan glanced at it casually, and then said, "Xi'er, I have more than 20 of these jade rings. If you like them, I'll send them to you tomorrow."
"forget it."
Gu Yuxi saw Xiao Zhuoxuan opening the box on the table, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry. He happily held them up on himself to show off.
"Xi'er, this pearl string is a little small. You can use it to make a hairpin accessory. The blue agate is nice and looks good when worn. This Lantian jade bracelet is just average. The black jade hairpin is nice. The gold is all yours..."
Soon, Gu Yuxi was dressed in gold and silver. Xiao Zhuoxuan crushed a pearl the size of his thumb into powder in his hand and handed it to Gu Yuxi.
"The emperor's concubines like to use pearl powder to wipe their faces. You should try it too. By the way, your fingers are covered with rings and other things. I will help you wipe them off."
Xiao Zhuoxuan applied powder carefully. When the woman's hand touched his arm, a sour and refreshing feeling came over him.
"hiss!"
"Zhuo Xuan, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, Xi'er, I'm fine."
"sit down!"
"what?"
"Sit down!"
Xiao Zhuoxuan sat on a stool and put the pearl powder in his hand into a small box. His clothes were being pulled off by the woman. He blushed and said, "Xi'er, it's already dark. If you want... it's not impossible."
"What's wrong with your shoulder?"
Looking at the wound on the shoulder caused by the arrow, the man smiled and said, "You are a real man, what's wrong with being injured?"
"Don't take your body lightly. What if it's poisoned? Take off your clothes and I'll apply medicine on you."
Watching the woman take off the beads on her body and put them in the box, and then rummaging through the drawers, Xiao Zhuoxuan couldn't help but smile and obediently took off his clothes.
The man holding the lamp came over with the medicine and applied it to him carefully and gently.
"Don't touch water these days. Even though it's a minor injury, I'm still sad."
Gu Yuxi put the medicine on the table, packed up the box, and said, "What should we do with this stuff?"
"They are all yours. Let's dig a secret room and hide them."
Gu Yuxi then opened an empty wardrobe, placed the box on it, pressed the mechanism, and the box fell down. Xiao Zhuoxuan became excited.
"Xi'er, are you also a mechanical engineer?"
"I only know the basics. I'm not on the same level as you. Put on your clothes."
"Help me put it on."
"I'm not free right now."
Gu Yuxi hid the man's clothes, turned back and saw that the man had not put on his clothes yet, so he could only hold his forehead and help him put on the clothes.
