Chapter 11: Simply Too Much Money to Burn
In winter, the transition from day to night is not as slow as in summer.
Almost immediately after Qu Feiyan entered the kitchen, the sky began to darken.
As the sky gradually darkened, Chu Qinghe slowly stood up and said to Dongfang Bubai: "Can you help me? Turn on the lamp."
Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Dongfang Bubai was a little confused.
I couldn't quite understand what Chu Qinghe meant.
A quarter of an hour later, Dongfang Bubai finally understood why Chu Qinghe asked him to help light the lamp.
Within this quarter of an hour, Chu Qinghe actually made at least fifty or sixty lanterns and hung them around the yard.
Even on the camellia tree in the yard and next to the stone table, there were lanterns.
Although the sky was already dark at this time, Chu Qinghe's yard was as bright as day because of the candlelight from dozens of lanterns.
Handing the lit lantern to Chu Qinghe, Dongfang Bubai asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you light so many lanterns at home?"
Even if it was Dongfang Bubai, he would not have so many lanterns when he was at Black Wood Cliff at night.
It's simply because I have too much money to burn.
After hanging the lantern next to him, Chu Qinghe said lazily, "I don't particularly like not being able to see anything at night."
Even though I've traveled through time, some habits are hard to change.
For example, in ancient times, when night fell, everything was pitch black.
It would be a little better if the moonlight was just right, but if it was cloudy, you would not be able to see your hand in front of you if you were a few steps away from the candle.
If you are not careful , you will fall.
Therefore, after trying for a few days, Chu Qinghe decided to make his home brighter and more comfortable at night.
Not only does it look comfortable, it can also prevent thieves.
After loading the remaining lanterns with lit candles and sending them to the kitchen, Chu Qinghe slowly returned to the yard.
Looking at the brightly lit yard, he nodded with satisfaction.
Not long after, while the two were waiting, Qu Feiyan came out from the kitchen carrying the dishes.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe clapped his hands, greeted Dongfang Bubai, and walked towards the courtyard.
They ate a lot at noon, and in the afternoon Chu Qinghe took the two girls to lie down for a while, so the appetites of the three of them were naturally not very good.
So at dinner, neither Chu Qinghe nor the other two women ate much.
After returning to the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, Dongfang Bubai suddenly frowned when he saw Qu Feiyan, who was silent and a little nervous beside him.
"You are not my disciple. You don't need to be so cautious in this courtyard. Just proceed as usual."
Qu Feiyan glanced at Dongfang Bubai and said timidly, "Is it okay?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Bubai responded with a soft "hmm".
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan pondered for a few breaths, then said, "Well, Dongfang... Sister, how long do you plan to stay with the young master?"
Hearing Qu Feiyan's address to him, Dongfang Bubai subconsciously glanced at Qu Feiyan.
Facing Dongfang Bubai's gaze, Qu Feiyan's body instantly tensed up.
Seeing Qu Feiyan's obviously nervous expression at this moment, Dongfang Bubai chuckled in his heart.
"That's a little clever."
With Dongfang Bubai's experience, he could see that Qu Feiyan's change of address was just a test to see if what he had just said was true.
If it had been in the past, if someone dared to test him like this, Dongfang Bubai would have raised his hand and slapped them.
But today, facing Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai was unusually indifferent.
He then withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "It depends on the situation. I may stay for a while!"
Qu Feiyan's eyes lit up when faced with Dongfang Bubai's response.
"Eh? Nothing's wrong!"
After Qu Feiyan tried it out and found that Dongfang Bubai didn't worry about the issue of addressing him, she felt a little relieved.
Afterwards, Qu Feiyan asked from time to time in the dishwasher room.
Facing Qu Feiyan's question, although Dongfang Bubai's attitude was still not very warm, he did respond.
After all the dishes in the wooden barrel were washed, Qu Feiyan, who was standing beside him, smiled again.
I am a little braver.
When the two girls came out of the kitchen, they saw Chu Qinghe coming out of his room holding a chessboard.
Ten or so breaths later, looking at the chessboard and chess box that Chu Qinghe had placed on the table, Qu Feiyan asked, "Sir, do you want to play chess?"
Chu Qinghe said as a matter of course: "The night is long, we have to find something to kill time."
Chu Qinghe used to be alone. At night, when there were stars, he would count them. When there were no stars, he could only lie in bed early and count sheep.
And today, with two more people in the yard, Chu Qinghe naturally has more options to play with.
It's just that I didn't have time today, otherwise I could get a deck of playing cards, and it would be just right for the three of us to play Landlord.
After opening the chess box, Chu Qinghe looked at the two women and asked, "Who will go first?"
Qu Feiyan glanced at the chess box, then shook her head and said, "I'm not particularly good at it, so let Sister Dongfang and Young Master play!"
"Sister Dongfang?"
Hearing Qu Feiyan addressing Dongfang Bubai at this time, Chu Qinghe exclaimed in his heart.
When she had just finished basking in the sun in the afternoon, Qu Feiyan was still cautious when facing Dongfang Bubai.
I had just washed the dishes, and the way we addressed each other became so intimate.
In this regard, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but shook his head.
Whether in the previous life or this life, women’s way of getting along with others is always a little difficult for men to understand.
Afterwards, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "Go is boring and long, let's play Go today."
Facing what Chu Qinghe said, Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan both looked puzzled.
Obviously he had never heard of it.
Seeing that both women didn't know, Chu Qinghe was not surprised.
Although Gobang was invented earlier, Go is now the mainstream game, which leads to many people not knowing about it.
Chu Qinghe then introduced: "It's very simple. In fact, each of you holds a chess piece of the same color. Whoever can connect five chess pieces in a line first wins."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe placed the chess pieces on the chessboard as a demonstration.
With the intelligence of the two girls, after watching Chu Qinghe's demonstration, they instantly understood the rules of Gobang.
Afterwards, Qu Feiyan was also a little speechless and said: "That's it? Isn't it too simple?"
Although Dongfang Bubai didn't say anything, his nonchalant expression also showed Dongfang Bubai's mentality at the time.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe didn't care, but chuckled and said, "Simple? How about making a bet and giving it a try?"
Qu Feiyan asked: "What are you betting on?"
Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "Go get the rice paper on the desk in my room first."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan quickly stood up and walked into the study to take out the rice paper.
After holding the rice paper in his hand, Chu Qinghe let the internal force flow through his body.
The next second, as the internal force burst out, the piece of rice paper in Chu Qinghe's hand was like being cut by a sharp blade, and instantly turned into dozens of neat strips of paper.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Bubai was not surprised.
However, Qu Feiyan, who was standing aside, suddenly widened her eyes and stared blankly at Chu Qinghe in front of her.
"Fifth level of the post-natal realm, no, this guy actually knows martial arts?"
