Chapter 74 Mascot Attributes
When the sound of the knock on the door reached the courtyard, Chu Qinghe, who had just rolled up his sleeves in the kitchen, turned his head to look at the door and said to Qu Feiyan, "The shopping should have arrived. Go open the door."
Qu Feiyan asked, "Sir, what did you buy?"
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "Hot pot and barbecue rack."
Qu Feiyan looked bewildered and asked, "What is that?"
In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Chu Qinghe said unhappily, "Why are you asking so many questions? You'll know when you use it at night. Go open the door quickly."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan curled her lips and used her lightness skills to move outside.
"Young Master!"
A moment later, when Chu Qinghe had just started kneading the dough, Qu Feiyan's voice came from outside.
Hearing Qu Feiyan's voice, Chu Qinghe withdrew his flour-stained hands with a little confusion and walked outside.
When Chu Qinghe stepped out of the kitchen and looked at Xiao Zhao who was following Qu Feiyan, he was slightly stunned.
"Hey, why is this girl back?"
As they entered the courtyard, Xiao Zhao immediately bowed and said, "Xiao Zhao greets you, sir."
After nodding slightly, Chu Qinghe said, "Miss Xiao Zhao, is there anything else?"
In response to Chu Qinghe's question, Xiao Zhao took a few steps forward and picked up a package in his hand.
Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to him, curiously took the package and opened it, only to find that it contained a hundred taels of gold.
At the same time, Xiao Zhao said, "Tian Boguang has committed many evil deeds, and there is a reward for him in the court. I have no way to repay your kindness, so Xiao Zhao can only offer this reward to show my gratitude."
After hearing Xiao Zhao's words, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but mutter to herself, "That guy is actually worth so much money?"
“Gugugugu…”
However, at this moment, a sound suddenly came from Xiao Zhao's stomach.
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Zhao immediately covered his stomach, and his ears turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Looking at Xiao Zhao who was holding her stomach, Qu Feiyan asked in astonishment, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Xiao Zhao hummed softly and said, "I lost my purse when I was knocked unconscious by Tian Boguang."
Qu Feiyan glanced at the 100 taels of gold in his hand, and then asked curiously: "Then don't you know how to use the reward to eat something?"
Xiao Zhao shook his head and said, "You were the ones who killed Tian Boguang, so the reward is naturally yours. It's not appropriate for me to touch it."
Listening to Xiao Zhao's explanation, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but glance at Xiao Zhao.
"Pretty stupid!"
Not to mention Chu Qinghe, even Qu Feiyan on the side was looking at Xiao Zhao as if he was a fool.
After a few breaths, Qu Feiyan asked, "Tian Boguang should have taken money with him when he went out. Why didn't you search for the money on him?"
Xiao Zhao explained: "Xiao Zhao searched it, but found that the silver and copper coins in the purse were all broken into powder."
At this time, Qu Feiyan and Chu Qinghe also remembered what Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue did to Tian Boguang's body last night.
After understanding the reason, Chu Qinghe shook his head and said, "It's time to have lunch soon. If Miss Xiao Zhao doesn't mind, you can have a simple meal at home!"
Listening to what Chu Qinghe said, Xiao Zhao waved his hand and said, "No..."
But just as the first word came out of his mouth, Xiao Zhao's stomach made a gurgling sound again.
Seeing this, Qu Feiyan rolled her eyes, then took Xiao Zhao's hand and walked into the kitchen.
Seeing the two women enter the kitchen, Chu Qinghe glanced at the empty stone bench under the camellia tree, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the kitchen.
When they entered the kitchen, Qu Feiyan had already put some dried fruits she had bought earlier into Xiao Zhao's hands.
Seeing that Xiao Zhao was still a little embarrassed, Qu Feiyan directly stuffed a sweet-scented osmanthus cake into Xiao Zhao's mouth.
That feeling is a bit like that of an older sister.
Seeing Qu Feiyan like this, Chu Qinghe smiled gently, then walked to the table to continue kneading the dough.
Perhaps because of Chu Qinghe's entry, Xiao Zhao also came forward to help after eating a few bites of food.
After placing the noodles in the wooden basin and covering it to rise, Chu Qinghe washed his hands and walked out to the yard.
When he walked out, he saw that Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue had already returned.
As in the past, the fluctuations of the two women's true energy have not yet completely subsided.
Looking at Dongfang Bubai drinking leisurely and Yao Yue's gloomy face, Chu Qinghe had no idea of the outcome of this battle.
After Chu Qinghe sat down, Dongfang Bubai glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Guests?"
Chu Qinghe picked up the wine glass and said calmly: "That Xiao Zhao from last night."
Dongfang Bubai asked in confusion: "What is she doing here?"
Facing Dongfang Bubai's doubts, Chu Qinghe briefly explained the situation.
After learning the reason, Yao Yue nodded and said, "That's really sincere."
That’s why educated people speak differently.
Obviously stupid, but in Yao Yue's mouth it turned into sincerity.
There was still some time before dinner, so Chu Qinghe got up and went into the room, took out the golden playing cards he had made earlier, and started playing Landlord with the two women in the yard.
Anyway, both girls have red envelopes now, and they are free anyway, so it would be a good idea to take some of the money back.
The sound of firecrackers sometimes came from outside, and sometimes a few petals could not bear the weight of the snow and fell from the sky.
The aroma of food and the smell of firewood gradually began to emanate from the kitchen.
Perhaps because he was shy, Xiao Zhao was obviously a little reserved during lunch.
During the process, Qu Feiyan would pick up food for Xiao Zhao from time to time.
After dinner, when the others were cleaning up in the kitchen, Qu Feiyan suddenly pulled Xiao Zhao out of the kitchen and came in front of Chu Qinghe.
When Xiao Zhao walked in front of Chu Qinghe, he still lowered his head, and his expression was obviously a bit restrained and worried.
Instead, Qu Feiyan let go of Xiao Zhao's hand and squatted beside Chu Qinghe, looking at Chu Qinghe eagerly, with a smile on her face that was so sweet that it was almost sickening.
Clever.
Facing Qu Feiyan's behavior, Chu Qinghe said unhappily, "Just say what you want to say."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan said carefully: "Sir, don't you feel that I am the only maid in the house, and I spend too much time cleaning every day, and I have less time to practice every day."
After hearing this, how could Chu Qinghe not understand what Qu Feiyan meant?
Then, as if she was worried that Chu Qinghe would disagree, Qu Feiyan spoke again: "And Xiao Zhao is very pitiful. She doesn't have many relatives at home. Her mother doesn't want her. She is all alone and helpless. How about you keep her as well?"
As she spoke, Qu Feiyan pulled Xiao Zhao over.
However, facing Chu Qinghe's gaze, Xiao Zhao didn't dare to look up.
After thinking for a while, Chu Qinghe looked at Xiao Zhao and asked, "What do you think, Miss Xiao Zhao?"
After hearing Chu Qinghe's question, Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "Young Master, I have no way to repay you for saving my life. If you are willing, Xiao Zhao is willing to stay by your side to repay you for your kindness."
In response, Chu Qinghe said, "Well, that's it!"
Qu Feiyan's face lit up and she asked, "Sir, do you agree?"
Chu Qinghe responded with a lazy "hmm".
After getting confirmation from Chu Qinghe, Xiao Zhao standing beside him also had an expression of obvious joy on his face.
"Thank you, sir."
After nodding slightly, Qu Feiyan pulled Xiao Zhao back into the kitchen.
After a while, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue came out of the kitchen. Hearing the faint laughter coming from the kitchen, Dongfang Bubai glanced at Chu Qinghe and said, "That Xiaozhao, you let her stay here without knowing anything about her?"
Chu Qinghe chuckled and said, "Fei Yan has already asked, are we going to just reject her?"
After a pause, Chu Qinghe continued, "What's more, that girl is not very old. Xiao Zhao is of similar age to her, so they can be a companion. Otherwise, if she is tormented by the two of you all day long, I guess she won't be able to bear it."
Qu Feiyan is young after all, and although she is smart, she is a little restrained and cautious in front of Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue.
He is usually trained by Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue.
Now that she has someone of the same age to be with, it is a good thing for that girl.
What's more , this new maid has twin ponytails!
Once you are sure that the other party has no bad intentions, who can refuse a cute, well-behaved and sensible maid with twin ponytails?
In response to Chu Qinghe's explanation, Dongfang Bubai said softly: "You are quite nice to this girl."
Chu Qinghe smiled gently but did not respond.
After Qu Feiyan took Xiao Zhao to choose a house, the little girl couldn't wait to pull Xiao Zhao to the street to buy things.
After the two girls came back with a bunch of things, Chu Qinghe, who had just finished playing a hand of cards, said, "Let's play later!" Then, to the confusion of Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue, he got up and went into the kitchen.
After a while, some obvious noises were heard from the kitchen.
Smelling the smoke wafting from the kitchen, Dongfang Bubai and Yaoyue became more and more confused.
When Qu Feiyan also noticed the unusual movement in the kitchen, she happened to meet Chu Qinghe walking out of the kitchen with a bowl of noodles.
Glancing at Qu Feiyan who was standing at Xiao Zhao's door, Chu Qinghe said calmly, "It's just right, come and eat."
After Qu Feiyan sat down, Chu Qinghe pushed the freshly cooked noodles in front of Qu Feiyan.
Glancing at the bowl of noodles in front of Qu Feiyan, Dongfang Bubai raised his eyebrows and said, "Longevity noodles, is today your birthday?"
Facing Dongfang Bubai's question, Qu Feiyan nodded first, then looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "But how did you know that today is my birthday?"
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "Isn't your birthday written on the first day you came here? Don't say that birthday was written randomly."
Qu Feiyan raised her head and said, "How could that be? I just didn't expect you would remember it, young master."
Chu Qinghe said calmly: "It won't taste good if it's cold, eat it quickly!"
Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan nodded, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
When Qu Feiyan finished eating the noodles in big mouthfuls and returned to the kitchen, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but said softly, "Young Master is really good to you."
Hearing this, Qu Feiyan said proudly: "That's it!"
Finally, looking at Xiao Zhao who was standing aside with envy, Qu Feiyan smiled and said, "Don't worry! The young master is a very good person. You will know it after a while."
Xiao Zhao nodded slightly, and when she turned to look at the courtyard, there was a little more anticipation in her eyes.
But after a few breaths, there was a bit of worry in Xiao Zhao's eyes despite the expectation.
In the courtyard, while Yao Yue was shuffling cards, Dongfang Bubai looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "No wonder you spoiled this girl so much today. It turns out it was because of her birthday."
Chu Qinghe said lazily, "It's a birthday that comes once a year after all!"
Dongfang Bubai nodded and said, "It's lucky that this girl is with you."
In response, Chu Qinghe smiled without comment.
Yao Yue, who was standing by, looked at Chu Qinghe and said, "I didn't expect you could cook."
Chu Qinghe said softly: "When you are alone for a long time, some things will come naturally."
It is definitely unrealistic to have heavy snow for several days and bask in the sun.
Fortunately, we have mahjong, and now Dongfang Bubai and the other girls are very interested in it.
Therefore, after the little girl came out, the five of them gathered around the table under the tree.
"Five Loaves"
"Bang!"
"Seventy thousand"
"Bang!"
"Twenty thousand."
"Hu"
"Hu"
…
Looking at the hands extended by Qu Feiyan and Dongfang Bubai in front of him, Chu Qinghe, who had successfully hit the target with two shots, also showed confusion on his face.
For half an hour, Chu Qinghe lost as many rounds as he played.
At this moment, Chu Qinghe no longer had the momentum he had last night.
In this regard, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but wonder if his luck was affected because he had sent out several red envelopes early in the morning?
After all, mahjong itself carries a strong metaphysical meaning.
If you get into trouble, no one can save you.
After a stick of incense, Chu Qinghe's face froze slightly as he lit another double shot.
"No, I'm unlucky today."
Afterwards, while shuffling the cards, Chu Qinghe was thinking about how to solve the problem .
After a moment, Chu Qinghe's gaze quickly focused on Xiao Zhao next to Qu Feiyan.
After pondering for a few moments, Chu Qinghe waved to Xiao Zhao.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's gesture, Xiao Zhao walked up to Chu Qinghe with a puzzled look on his face.
After asking Xiao Zhao to squat down a little, Chu Qinghe raised his hand and touched Xiao Zhao's head.
It is said that fools have good fortune.
Judging from Xiao Zhao's performance today, he doesn't seem to be very smart.
My luck is bad right now, let me see if I can get some luck from Xiao Zhao.
Faced with Chu Qinghe's intimate behavior at this time, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but be stunned.
Qu Feiyan at the side couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what are you doing?"
Hearing this, Chu Qinghe said vaguely: "Nothing, I just think Xiao Zhao looks cute."
After saying that, Chu Qinghe started rolling the dice.
When the mahjong tiles were all in place, Chu Qinghe's eyes lit up when he saw the identical Wan characters in front of him.
"Hey, it really works."
At this moment, Chu Qinghe discovered that his new maid seemed a little unusual.
A moment later, after he had drawn the ball three times, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhao deeply.
When his eyes fell on the silly-looking Xiao Zhao, an idea suddenly popped up in Chu Qinghe's mind.
"If I try to get some luck from this silly girl next time I sign in, will the things I get be more valuable?"
Thinking of this, Chu Qinghe's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Xiao Zhao.
The more he looked at her, the more he liked her new maid.
Mascot!
Thinking of this, Chu Qinghe stood up without saying a word, then moved a chair and placed it next to him.
"Come, sit next to me."
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Xiao Zhao nodded blankly, and then sat next to Chu Qinghe as Chu Qinghe said.
Bewildered, puzzled, but also well-behaved.
This silly and inexplicably cute look made Chu Qinghe unable to help but raise his hand and pinch Xiao Zhao's chubby little face.
Feeling the touch on his hand, Chu Qinghe couldn't help but nodded and said secretly in his heart.
"Yeah! It feels pretty good."
Chu Qinghe's strange behavior made Dongfang Bubai, Yao Yue and Qu Feiyan very confused. They couldn't figure out what Chu Qinghe was doing.
However, half an hour later, as the money in the three women's purses became less and less, their expressions gradually began to turn from sunny to cloudy.
After putting the money in Chu Qinghe's hand again, Yao Yue, who reacted the fastest, looked at the smiling Chu Qinghe and couldn't help frowning.
Afterwards, Yao Yue recalled the process of Chu Qinghe's luck turning from bad to good, and her sight suddenly locked onto Xiao Zhao beside Chu Qinghe, with a look of deep thought in her eyes.
After hesitating for a few breaths, Yao Yue slowly stood up and walked in front of Xiao Zhao under the gaze of the others.
Then, amid the confusion of Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan and the shock in Chu Qinghe's heart, he actually raised a hand tentatively and touched Xiao Zhao's head.
When Yao Yue withdrew her hand, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but raise his hand and touch his head, as if he was checking whether there was something on his head.
Here, looking at Yao Yue who had returned to her seat, Chu Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sense of alarm rose in his heart.
Half a quarter of an hour later, after Yao Yue successfully drew a triple, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xiao Zhao.
I actually think this little girl looks particularly pleasing to the eye.
Instead, Chu Qinghe's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"Oh no, I can't hide it anymore."
Sure enough, seeing Yao Yue actually masturbating, Dongfang Bubai and Qu Feiyan on the side also reacted and realized that something was wrong.
Afterwards, the two women walked up to Xiao Zhao and started to take action.
Especially Qu Feiyan, who not only touched Xiao Zhao's head, but also moved her face closer to Xiao Zhao's face and rubbed it.
Half an hour later, as the silver continued to be spit out, Chu Qinghe sighed in his heart as he looked at Xiao Zhao, who was temporarily detained next to Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue with a well-behaved face.
"Well, the mascot has been snatched away, and my luck is gone."
At this moment, looking at Xiao Zhao who was abducted, Chu Qinghe suddenly felt a little sad.
