Quick Wear: BE cannon fodder does not follow the routine

Chapter 149 The Lady of the Constable's House (27)

"You rock!"

Watching Gu Yuxi adding firewood at the stove door, Xiao Zhuoxuan curled his lips. If she liked delicious food, he could make it for her. Would she like him then?

"Confused!"

"what!"

Gu Yuxi put her hand on Xiao Zhuoxuan's hand and stirred the fern in the pot. The man felt soft behind him and dared not move.

After putting the dishes on the plate, Xiao Zhuoxuan was still not satisfied. Why did her hands feel so soft and cool, so comfortable?

"A vague daredevil."

"I!"

"It's time to eat, don't leave!"

[Satisfaction: 68%]

Gu Yuxi knocked on her bowl to remind the dazed man: "Eat your food, why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

The idiot said, "Yes, there is a peach blossom on the forehead, very beautiful."

Gu Yuxi then remembered that she had just put a flower ornament on her forehead and said, "It looks good but it can't be eaten. Eat and leave quickly."

"do you hate me?"

"No, I'm afraid of being misunderstood by the villagers. They might say I'm hiding a man in my house, which is not nice. Besides, you're not my man."

"I..." I can!

But Xiao Zhuoxuan didn't dare to say the following words, fearing that Gu Yuxi would be disgusted by his shameless idea. Looking at the courtyard wall, he wanted to tear it down so that they wouldn't have to hide anything.

"Just say what you want to say. I'm not that scared. Or do you not want to say it?"

"It's really inconvenient for you as a woman. It would be better if you had someone who knows your feelings."

"I hope so! By the way, did you become a constable just to establish your authority in front of the common people?"

Feeling that Gu Yuxi had misunderstood him, the man quickly explained: "Yuan Xin is not the kind of person who helps the tyrant. I am not trying to establish my authority in front of the people. I am just trying to protect the people I want to protect."

"You are alone now. You just said you wanted to protect me. But are you serious?"

"I'm telling the truth. Yuxi, you saved my life, and I need to protect you too!"

"Just out of gratitude for saving your life?"

The man clenched his chopsticks, looked at Gu Yuxi, and suddenly said seriously: "Maybe it's not just a life-saving grace. We are friends, and this is what I should do."

"Now we are more than just friends, we are neighbors."

"That's right. If you run out of water, I'll get some for you. Those hooligans always target women who are alone. It's dangerous for you to be alone often."

"My fellow villagers all say that I'm a hot-tempered demon. Those hooligans stay away from me. Why do you think I'm weak?"

"Those people did it on purpose. You can't carry it on your shoulders or lift it with your hands. How can you be the bully girl they say? It's obviously a case of mistaken identity."

"If I really am..."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! You are simple-minded, don't be misled by those unscrupulous people. The ruffians in Guyu County are so sinister that they use such means to ruin a woman's reputation!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Gu Yuxi choked on her soup. Xiao Zhuoxuan stood up and patted her face, nervously saying, "Are you okay? You're already relying on me for the meal, and I'm telling you these bad people and bad things. I made you nervous."

"No, it was me..."

"The food is getting cold. Let's eat first. Those people are talking nonsense. Their behavior is too bad. Who would be tied to a tree and covered with a large water tank by a woman?"

Gu Yuxi was speechless. In Xiao Zhuoxuan's eyes, even if she was wrong, he would definitely say that she was not wrong and that those people were smearing her. She quite liked this kind of double standard.

"Hurry up and go. You have to get up early to go to the government office tomorrow."

Xiao Zhuoxuan left Gu Yuxi's house and was then locked outside. When he looked at the candlelight on the second floor, he smiled slightly, turned his head and bumped into Tie Jia's ugly second son.

The man's eyes were full of anger and jealousy. He had no grudge against this man... By the way, he, a grown man, was kicked away by Yuxi!

If that was the case, it would explain why he was sneaking around in this place. Before he could say anything, the other party spoke up first: "Mr. Xiao, Yuxi is a girl, please don't tarnish her reputation."

"Those rumors were deliberately spread by the hooligans in the market. You are the one who tarnished their reputation by sneaking around in front of their door late at night."

"Yuxi and I are innocent, and the relationship between us neighbors is not as dirty as you think."

"Oh! I was overthinking. Brother Tie, you are often sick at home and don't know the outside world."

"You just arrived in Guyu County, don't cause trouble for Xi. If you are too attentive to him for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief."

"Brother Tie, you are joking. Yuxi and I have known each other for a long time. I just helped her fetch water. After all, she is a woman and has little strength."

Tiejilang didn't expect Xiao Zhuoxuan's words to be so polite, which was different from those gangsters.

"I can call me sister-in-law..."

"Brother Tie, you are also a man. You have been troubling your brother and sister-in-law and you are already very sorry for them. If you can't even lift a bucket, don't patronize others. After all, don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you."

"Why wouldn't I want to help Yuxi solve her problem? You misunderstood me."

"It seems that Xiao is judging others by his own standards."

Tie Erlang looked directly at Xiao Zhuoxuan and said, "That's all I have to say."

"Oh! Then I have nothing to say. You don't have to care about other people's affairs, Brother Tie. You should prepare to pass the examination to become a scholar. After all, most scholars have little strength and can't help others with any heavy work."

Tie Erlang saw Xiao Zhuoxuan enter the door next door, and a feeling of powerlessness flashed through him: in the past few years, because of that strange disease, his body was very weak, and it was difficult for him to even fetch water for the family, let alone fetch water to repay her.

The best way out is to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible, so that his family can feel more at ease, and he can also go out with dignity without being accused of being a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

When Xiao Zhuoxuan returned home, he opened the brick house with three locks, turned on the light, and opened the eight boxes around it.

Today he saw Gu Yuxi at the yamen and she would be coming of age in a few days. Many things needed to be prepared, and a girl had to look pretty when she came of age.

He made a big deal a few days ago and gave her all the nice things.

"These are all silver. Gold and gold crowns are not acceptable. They are too tacky. The luminous beads are too big. Yuxi cannot use them. Otherwise, it will bring disaster...

The jade is too ugly, the jade lion and the pen stand are useless to her; this pearl necklace is too big, it makes her neck sore, I can grind it into powder for her to apply on her face; the agate beads are not shiny, the color is not pretty, the silk and satin..."

"What a rubbish birthday gift. There aren't many pleasing items. Not even a jade hairpin."

Xiao Zhuoxuan kicked the jade ruyi that fell to the ground, picked it up with disgust and threw it into the box casually, then picked up the floor tile from the corner, and a big hole suddenly appeared in front of him.

This basement needs to be wider, deeper and bigger. After all, there are dozens of boxes of treasures hidden outside that have not been shipped back.

When the candlelight was about to go out, Xiao Zhuoxuan stopped thinking, restored the room to its original state, locked it, took a cold shower, and jumped out of the courtyard wall...
