Chapter 223
In the huge room, soon there were only Xiao Yezi and the silver-haired woman left.Xiao Ye Zi stood up beside the silver-haired woman, looked down at the hair that had lost even a tinge of blue, and felt panicked in her heart.
She helped him up in silence, with endless emotions hidden in her gentle voice.
"Master, I will take you back."
The silver-haired woman raised her hand and stroked the back of her hand a few times.
"Okay, the matter is not all resolved, what does it look like. I will not be here in the future, and there will be more such things. You have to think about whether you can handle it."
Xiao Ye Zi's eye sockets were red again.
Seeing that her tears were about to fall, the silver-haired woman felt sore.
"Okay, it's just a few casual gossips, why are you crying here? Are you trying to find bad luck for me?"
Little Leaf looked at her pitifully.
"I'm not kidding you, you have figured it out yourself. This time is actually not dangerous at all, and those people's tails have not been wiped clean. If it weren't for me, would you be able to handle it?"
Seeing her kind but cold eyes, Xiao Ye Zi knew what she meant, and didn't dare to talk nonsense just to make her feel at ease. She lowered her head and thought carefully for a while before nodding solemnly.
"I'll try my best."
The silver-haired woman laughed.
"I know, you are a good boy."
Xiao Ye Zi felt bitter in her heart, she just nodded without saying a word.
The voice of the silver-haired woman continued.
"Let me ask you, if I ask someone to help you, would you be willing?"
Little Leaf froze for a moment.
"Master, do you want to promote a few cronies? Of course I am willing. In fact, if Master has a more suitable candidate for the position of the owner of Pudu Zhai, I can also..."
The silver-haired woman's gaze suddenly became sharp, Xiao Yezi sensed the dissatisfaction in that gaze, and cut off her own voice.
The silver-haired woman stared at her in silence for a long while before she spoke: "Stop talking about these things in the future. You want me to go to Huangquan Road and I won't feel at ease!"
"Master!"
Xiao Yezi's voice suddenly became hoarse.
The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes and face were full of grievances.
"Master, stop talking about this, or else...or I..."
She seemed to want to say some harsh words and threats, but she couldn't say it after all, she was only weakly in a dilemma, her face was flushed with emotion.
The silver-haired woman laughed.
"Why can't we say this? Everyone has such a day. Why are you still superstitious about these things? Forget it, you don't want to listen to me and just don't say it. Let's take a step back, and we will be quiet in the days to come." Have a good time, okay?"
Little Leaf nodded with red eyes.
The silver-haired woman then picked up what she had just said and continued: "I'm going to leave the old man behind."
Xiao Yezi was confused, not knowing what she meant by "stay".
In the past, only patients who needed long-term treatment would live in Puduzhai, but the white-haired old man obviously did not belong to this category.
The silver-haired woman didn't make too much of a fuss.
"This Pudu Zhai is not as simple as it used to be. In recent years, everyone's hearts have been fluctuating, and I know more or less. I think...you may not be able to control it alone."
Xiao Yezi said in a daze: "But it's useless for him to stay...he's not as good as me..."
The silver-haired woman shook her head.
"You don't understand. When it comes to fighting alone, he may rely on some crooked quick wits to protect himself, but if he is in such a situation...such a person who has been in the world for many years and has seen all kinds of storms, naturally He is the most suitable person to assist you, and you don’t need him to do anything practical, just let him assist in management.”
Little Leaf let out an oh.
The end of her voice was obviously rising, full of joy, but the content she said was not so lively, but a little cautious as walking on thin ice.
"But...but even so, he may not be willing to stay."
The silver-haired woman smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about it. I just ask you, are you willing to marry him, and we will advance and retreat together in the name of husband and wife in the future?"
Xiao Ye Zi let out a bewildered cry, and then her face burned quickly.
As soon as the silver-haired woman saw her reaction, she knew that her guess was good, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am not a random person. Just wait, I will naturally let him stay willingly."
Little Leaf stamped her feet in shame.
"Master! Stop talking!"
The silver-haired woman laughed.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. I won't say anything anymore. Okay, you should go back and rest early. I will take you to them early tomorrow morning to discuss the ceremony."
……
The next morning.
Liu Bao almost jumped up from his chair after hearing the silver-haired woman's words.
"What? Let my master stay? Why?!"
The silver-haired woman turned a blind eye to his violent emotional turmoil, and did not move the hand holding the tea, only looking down at the ripples in the cup.
"Your master has promised me, I just came to inform you. If you are willing to stay to participate in the ceremony, you can stay. If you don't want to, I will send you out in advance."
Liu Bao felt that this world was simply too unreal.
Before, he thought that this Pudu Zhai was all women, and it was too easy to cause accidents. Isn't this a replica of the country of daughters?
However, he never expected that it was not him, nor Wei Tianze, but his master...
Well, how should I put it? I can only say that the people in Pudu Zhai have really unique tastes.
Wei Tianze and Suzaku also watched the incident dumbfounded, thinking that there is nothing surprising about the size of this world, that there are people who really like the old man?
Shi Shi ran away after the silver-haired woman finished what she wanted to say.
Then after she left, the white-haired old man was quickly surrounded by three people, Liu Bao, Zhuque, and Wei Tianze.
The three of them circled around him, their eyes fell on him from top to bottom, as if they were looking for something special about him that people from Puduzhai could see.
The white-haired old man only felt that his face had been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.
"Enough! What do you two look like! I'm just looking for a wife. Why, do you have any opinions?"
He puffed his beard and stared at himself to cheer himself up, as if he had been stimulated.
"Master, are you really voluntary and not forced?"
Liu Bao thought about it, but still felt that this matter was extremely incredible.
The white-haired old man felt like he had nowhere to put his old face: "This...this kind of thing is not of my own free will, who can force me? Anyway, I am alone everywhere, so it really doesn't matter. You don’t have to use this expression, I also..."
He speaks very fast, and when he persuades others to relax, he is also convincing himself.
However, he himself didn't realize that after he said this, his face was already crying and mourning, and he had the look of "I will go to hell if I don't go to hell".
Wei Tian raised his eyebrows at Suzaku in surprise.
Suzaku cleared his throat and asked, "Senior, if you don't want to, no one can force you to do anything, right?"
The white-haired old man gave her a resentful look.
It is true to say so, but in fact, can he really leave Xiao Yezi here when the old woman is about to drive west?
This Pudu Zhai is not peaceful at all, and she doesn't know how many messy people are around who want to pull her off the horse.
Hey!
Forget it, it's unlucky for him to be stumbled by this kind of thing in his later years after being chic all his life.
The look on his face was too heavy, so heavy that Liu Bao couldn't ignore it.
"Master, if you have any inconvenience, I can let them go out and you can talk to me alone."
Suzaku and Wei Tian were about to go out in a sensible manner.
The white-haired old man quickly stopped them.
"No, no, no... there's nothing bad to say. Let's all listen together."
If it is really secretive, maybe there will be no chance to make it unclear later.
He thought resentfully, only felt that the freedom he loved the most in his life was so far away before his eyes, and he felt extraordinarily painful.
Liu Bao pretended to be beside him and persuaded him to be open-minded.
At the beginning, the white-haired old man answered whatever was asked seriously, but after a while, he realized that the people around him were holding back their laughter, and they didn't want to listen to his complaints at all.
He drove several people out angrily, and sulked in the room.
Wei Tian and Suzaku looked at Liu Bao and asked for his opinion.
"What is the boss going to do?"
"What should I do? My master is going to marry his wife. How can a disciple say no? I think we should think about his big day. We should give him something."
Wei Tian nodded.
"This Puduzhai family has a great career. If the old man really stays here, it will be a bit hard for no one to support him."
Liu Bao raised his eyebrows: "Why is there no one to back him up? If he really becomes half the master here, wouldn't I have to come back to see him often? And you, don't even think about running away."
Suzaku blinked.
"I live in Puduzhai after I get married. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a son-in-law."
Wei Tian shook his head and said: "Hey, what you said is really true. Isn't it because the girl with a big family is afraid that she won't be able to keep her family property, so she found a son-in-law? Oh, boss, we have lost a lot this time." !"
Liu Bao glanced at him: "Where do you start talking about this? Why did we lose so much?"
Wei Tian made up his mind.
"Boss, think about it. As your master, does the old man still lack money and reputation? No! In ancient times, this was a path chosen by families who were too poor to survive."
Liu Bao glared at him pretending to be annoyed.
"Oh, that's too much. Why did you even mention my master? This ancient time is ancient times, and now is now. How can we make a direct analogy? Besides, the situation in this matter is also different. Didn't we undergo Pudu Zhai? Is there no way to repay the great kindness? So I can only force Master and the old man to agree with me!"
Several people laughed, and the room was full of joy.
The white-haired old man's face was as red as a pig's liver, and he only hated the sound insulation in this room so poorly that he could hear every single word!
When Wei Tian was in trouble before, he was still gloating, but he didn't expect that good and evil will be rewarded in the end, and it would fall on him so quickly.
He turned over sullenly, only feeling that his future was bleak.
If you want to stay in Puduzhai and spend the rest of your life to repay favors, the freedom is gone, and the apprentice will leave soon, and he will stay in Puduzhai to live a life like an ascetic monk.
This is……
God will not spare him!
The civil strife in Puduzhai was quickly resolved, and everyone started preparing for the wedding under the organization of the silver-haired woman.
Xiao Ye Zi was so busy all day that no one was seen, and the idle white-haired old man became the object of crowd watching and teasing.
It was at this time that the white-haired old man regretted it.
He felt that he was really too impulsive.How could he hand over the rest of his life so easily?He found Liu Bao and euphemistically expressed his desire not to stay in this place anymore.
Liu Bao was shocked.
"You mean you regret it? You don't want to marry Senior Leaf???!!!"
The white-haired old man hastily covered his mouth with his hand.
"Keep your voice down! Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
Liu Bao blinked at him.
The white-haired old man let go of his hand with lingering fear after confirming it again and again. He didn't expect Liu Bao to scream again as soon as he let go.
"Come here! Someone is running away from marriage!!!"
The sound was loud, and soon attracted a number of onlookers.
White-haired old man: ...
Onlooker 1: "What's going on? Didn't you say it well? Why do you regret it again?"
Onlooker 2: "Hmph, the master is right, men are unreliable!"
Onlookers 3: "First you ran away after ruining your family's reputation, but now you are engaged and want to escape marriage, why don't you go to heaven?!"
The white-haired old man looked at Liu Bao angrily.
"what do you mean?"
Liu Baoyi said honestly: "Master, I think you should be more sensible. At such an age, it's time to shoulder the responsibilities of an adult. You have to do what you should do by yourself, and the promises you make are as good as your own." You have to practice it yourself."
