King Yan's Canary

Chapter 170C169 What does the emperor think?

Xiao Zhen exhaled, with unconcealable anger in his eyes, telling you not to touch him!You still touch!

But there was an apology on his face, a look of sincere repentance: "I'm sorry, master, it's all my fault for not taking good care of him, which caused him to lose his memory and can't speak."

"Oh! What a crime! Such a good child, how did he become so stupid and dumb..." The master had no other intentions, but just wanted to take a good look at the apprentice he was most proud of. Something went wrong.

So he peeled off Xiao Zhen, and went to grab Wen Ruyu's hand.

Xiao Zhen locked his eyes on his hand, and his eyes gradually sank as his hand moved.

Fortunately, Xiaodouzi at the side found out that his face was wrong in time, he knew Xiao Zhen's possessiveness well, if the master continued, he might lose his hand!

He grabbed the master's hand and smoothed things over, "Master, Xiaoyu hasn't seen us for so long, why don't you go to the room first, sit down and talk!"

"Alright!"

The master led the people into the house first, and he did not forget to order the apprentices who were watching the excitement: "Go and prepare some food and drink, take out the apricot blossom wine that the master has treasured, and prepare some small soup dumplings and braised noodles. By the way, there are also sugar-oiled fruits, which Xiaoyu loves to eat."

As if thinking of something again, he turned and looked at Xiao Zhen, "I don't know what the prince wants to eat, so I can tell them to prepare it."

Xiao Zhen's heart wrinkled into a ball, this old man is really disrespectful!

He actually knows so well what Yu'er likes to eat!He must have conspired against him long ago!

What master and apprentice, I like to engage in love with broken sleeves the most!

Heh heh heh, it turns out that Yu'er also likes to eat sweet and sour fruits, even his real husband doesn't know it!

On the surface, he suppressed a smile and said: "It doesn't matter, I am not picky about food, as long as it is what Yu'er likes, I will love it."

"Alright then," the master turned around and told his apprentice, "You guys arrange some more meat dishes. If you don't have enough money, you can borrow some from the owner of Begonia Yard."

"Yes!"

The two young apprentices took the order and retreated with fists clasped.

Only then did Xiao Zhen realize that they were still short of money.

It turned out to be Wen Ruyu's master, so he had to help, "If master has no money, I'll send someone from the house to send some money over!"

"no, I'm fine."

But the master waved his hand and said: "Our troupe's yard was not worrying about food and clothing, and the old man also had some savings, but the bandits were too rampant and ransacked the troupe's yard... Oh, let's not talk about this! If the prince didn't help us, I'm afraid we will You have to live on the streets."

While speaking, he had already led people into the room. Although the room was not big, it was decorated in a cozy way, and the walls were covered with colorful singing props.

Xiaodouzi served them tea, then went upstairs to call her two sons.

After the master sat down, he took a sip of his tea and continued: "Nowadays, there are too many ordinary people who have been harmed by bandits and can't even eat. We are here, and we are quite stable. Besides, our opera skills are also there. As long as there are performances , there will be rewards. The prince should distribute the silver to those who need help!"

This old man doesn't look very good, he didn't expect to have a bodhisattva heart, no wonder Wen Ruyu was educated to be so kind.

Xiao Zhen's jealousy towards him instantly eased a bit, "Master is right, I am also responsible for the reason why the situation has become like this."

He glanced at Wen Ruyu who was not on their topic, but was curiously looking at the props, and continued: "Yu'er drowned before and fell into a deep coma, and I also became passive, and didn't want to care about the affairs of the world at all... ..."

The master looked at him calmly, "So, half of those rumors about King Yan are true?"

Xiao Zhen naturally knew that what he was talking about was the rumor that King Yan raised a dead body as his concubine, so he smiled helplessly: "It's probably half true."

"So, Xiaoyu almost died?" The master's tone suddenly became serious.

It's not just almost, it's almost dead!

Xiao Zhen didn't dare to look him in the eyes, he had the illusion of being questioned by his mother-in-law, so he could only apologize: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."

"I also learned a thing or two about your affairs from Xiaodouzi. Although I don't agree with Xiaoyu finding a man, I also know that you, King Yan Xiao Zhenquan, are powerful. We are all poor people and have no strength to compete with you. , but, as Xiaoyu's master, I only hope that he can be happy!"

The master said more and more seriously: "If the prince can't do it, please return him to the old man. Even if he can't sing, he is the most beloved disciple of the old man! Even if the old man fights this old bone, he will let him Live a lifetime of peace and happiness.”

That's right, is this dead old man calling the king a wake-up call?

Just now I said that you have the heart of a blessed Bodhisattva, why do you want to beat you now?

What big talk did you say to keep him safe and happy for the rest of his life? If this king hadn't rescued him, you might still be a beggar on the street!

Can beggars be safe and happy?

Maybe someone covets Yu'er's beauty and snatches him away by force, even to death!At that time, you can only cry!

Xiao Zhen secretly slandered, feeling that he was relying on the old to sell the old, but he still did not show any anger, and said with a low eyebrow: "Master, don't worry, this king will love him for the rest of his life."

The master's face was not very good-looking, and he snorted sullenly: "Looking at his current appearance, this old man doesn't look like he was spoiled!?"

Xiao Zhen couldn't laugh anymore, and suddenly lowered his mouth. Indeed, Wen Ruyu followed him and suffered too much unfair torture.

From the tongue being cut off at the beginning, to the fact that people are neither human nor ghost, and have to rely on blood sucking to maintain their lives...

He was about to make a poisonous oath, saying that he would never hurt him again for the rest of his life, when Xiaodouzi came in with two little boys.

The two little boys looked very much like their mothers, with delicate features, big watery eyes, and sweet smiles. As soon as they saw Xiao Zhen, they ran over shaking their little hands: "Handsome grandpa,...he is well." Now, I want Tangtang!"

"It's not grandpa, I said it's Wang Ye!"

Xiaodouzi was afraid that Xiao Zhen would be angry, so he hurriedly corrected him.

Because Xiao Zhen's white hair is very eye-catching, and the two children are only under three years old, they naturally think that the one with the white hair is the grandfather.

"Okay...Grandpa Wang...I want Tangtang..."

When the little guy met Xiao Zhen last time, he was dying, and Xiao Zhen promised that if they got well, he would bring Tangtang to them.

Xiao Zhen reached out his hand to touch the little balls on their heads, pointed to Wen Ruyu, "Okay, then you can call him Granny Xiao, and I will reward you with sweets?"

The little guy's big eyes flickered, and he ran over like a ghost, holding Wen Ruyu's hand, and shouted childishly: "Grandma Xiao, Granny Xiao...beautiful Granny Xiao..."

Now everyone in the room was amused, even the helpless master covered his sleeves and chuckled twice.

With the presence of children, the originally dull atmosphere became joyful. A few men, old and young, gathered around the table to eat, looking happy.

Even though Wen Ruyu didn't want to eat human food, the little guy scrambled to pick up vegetables in his bowl. Although his immature little hands couldn't hold them steady at all, he still insisted on picking them up for the beautiful "Grandma Xiao".

Where has Wen Ruyu seen such a cute and soft thing, if he could take a bite, it would definitely taste delicious.

But the little thing has a sweet mouth and treats him so well, he still can't bear to bite down, so he can only reluctantly eat some of the food they brought.

In the afternoon, Xiao Zhen handed over the erhu to them, and the master and Wen Ruyu sat in the courtyard, teaching Wen Ruyu erhu patiently as they did at the beginning.

The little ones were playing in the yard, and came over occasionally to ask Xiao Zhen for a few pieces of maltose, and then went to learn opera skills from Xiaodouzi in a decent manner.

The sun in the sky sprinkled a dazzling brilliance, passing by the yard silently, casting shades of mottled crabapple trees, and gradually going west.

Such a comfortable and leisurely life is a luxury that Xiao Zhen cannot enjoy in his life.

When the afterglow of the setting sun slanted over Wen Ruyu's feet, he was able to play a few decent notes himself.

But he is afraid of the sun, just like Xiao Zhen can't enjoy this peaceful life.

In desperation, they had no choice but to bid farewell to their master, got up and returned to Prince Yan's mansion.

As soon as he returned to Prince Yan's mansion, the reward sent by Kai Yuxi had already been delivered, and it was delivered by Kai Yuxi himself with someone.

Ten full boxes of golden gold!

Kui Yuxi smiled as brightly as gold, "Brother Xiao Zhen, I have brought you all the rewards you want, 5 taels of gold!"

Xiao Zhen's long and narrow phoenix eyes drooped, and his gaze stayed on the golden gold for a moment. He thought in his heart that it should be enough for these gold to be distributed to the homeless people who were ravaged by bandits, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment.

The phoenix eyes raised, met the smiling face of Kui Yuxi, and smiled with relief: "Thank you for the reward from the emperor, I will accept it with a smile."

"Thank you and see you later."

Seeing him smile, Kai Yuxi thought that the gold was well spent, and he still had to rely on him to consolidate Da Kai's country in the future.

He straightened his face, and looked at him pitifully: "Brother Xiao Zhen, are you still angry with me?"

Angry is definitely still angry.

After all, it was his instigation, that night three years ago, he drank with him all night, so that Wen Ruyu became what he is now.

But reach out and don't hit the God of Wealth.

In the past three years, Xiao Zhen spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, seeking medicine to treat Wen Ruyu, and ignoring the government, which almost exhausted the treasury of Prince Yan's mansion.

There are still many places to spend money in the future, so at present, Kui Yuxi is Xiao Zhen's God of Wealth.

"Although I'm still a little angry, but as long as His Highness is willing to spend money for this humble minister, this humble minister can forgive His Highness."

When Xiao Zhen said such things, he didn't feel that he was shameless at all, but took it for granted.

The gold of feelings can't buy back your forgiveness at all, you must provide you with money for a long time, will you be satisfied?

Kui Yuxi was very angry, but she had no choice but to go along with him, and said with a smile: "As long as brother Xiao Zhen needs money, you can tell me at any time, my treasury is yours!"

"A gentleman's words are hard to chase. The emperor must keep his word, okay?" Xiao Zhen stared at him inexplicably, with the expression that the king doesn't believe you.

Kui Yuxi was inexplicably sad: "Brother Xiao Zhen, do we not even have the most basic trust?"

Xiao Zhen smiled ambiguously: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
