Chapter 77.1: 哄好

[Coax (deceive) Well]

---

While Chen Xing and Gu Lang hold hands and go in the direction of their home, discuss to soak pomelo, drive away the bad luck of the body, the Zhou family side is like headless fly (a metaphor for sb who is rushing around frantically) into a pot of porridge (complete mess).

 

The reason for this is because the person that Butler Zhou entrusted to ask not only didn’t help him to inquire about Zhou Qing’s news, but even returned the money that he had sent to him, which was something that had never happened in the past.

 

Butler Zhou still did not quite believe it when he learnt the news since the person who took the money returned it to his door personally, looking at his old friend’s expression full of shock, “Mr. Zhao, however, what are the difficulties?”

 

Butler Zhou entrusted this person who is a small secretary of Yamen, although there is not much real power, but he has access to a variety of Yamen paperwork such as official documents, so all kinds of news, he also knows a lot, he also relied on this to earn a lot of money.

 

But to such a person, Steward Zhou brought a huge amount of money, he hesitated, but still put his hand back as he finally looked at him with a tangled face and said, “Master Zhou, it’s not that I don’t want to help you. Just this time, the situation is special, I really can not help. You, please go back ba!”

 

Butler Zhou looked at his appearance, thought that he was aware of the importance of Zhou Qing to him, disliked him for his money is not enough, want to extort a sum of money, so he took out a purse from his sleeve, together with the one that was just sent to the small clerk in front of him, looked at him sincerely as he said:

 

“Mr. Zhao, I know this makes things difficult for you, but this time, the one who is involved is my nephew, other people I can not care about, but my nephew is absolutely impossible for me to ignore. Please make an exception for this case, on the basis of our past affection, help me with this.”

 

The man known as Mr. Zhao looked at the two purses held by Butler Zhou, his face was filled with the urge to go and take them, but not knowing what he was concerned about, his hand only stretched out a little bit before he immediately retracted, then looked at Butler Zhou’s face was full of oddities and said:

 

“I can’t, Brother Zhou, to tell you the truth, I really can’t help you this time. You’ll be able to know the circumstances of it tomorrow, and there’s no need to rush at this moment. Brother Zhou, I still have things to do, so I won’t accompany you to chat more.”

 

Before Butler Zhou could ask something else, Mr. Zhao slammed the door in front of Butler Zhou.

 

Butler Zhou touched his nose and looked at the door that closed in front of him, his face shifted, finally spitting and cursing softly, “What the hell, give you face and you really think you’re a figure!” Butler Zhou finished mumbling in a small voice and quickly left Mr. Zhao’s doorway.

 

Just on the way back, Butler Zhou kept thinking about Mr Zhao’s words just now, his brows furrowed fiercely, he had a vague not-so-good feeling that something was about to happen soon.

 

Since he couldn’t get any information here from him, and he didn’t know anyone else, Butler Zhou temporarily suppressed the idea of inquiring, and prepared to wait until the next day according to Mr. Zhao’s words to go to the Yamen to find out what had happened.

 

Butler Zhou thought that when he went back, he would run into that unreasonable and hard to deal with, Zhou Da Niang again, thinking of Zhou Da Niang’s usual shrewdness, he felt a headache, this sister-in-law of his is simply his natural enemy!

 

After Butler Zhou sighed, his original footsteps going towards the Zhou Family Residence, suddenly turned a corner and went to a brothel not far away, he was prepared to take shelter (lie low until sth. blows over outside) first, before then go back to discuss the solution with the others when he found out what had happened tomorrow.

After Chen Xing and Gu Lang discussed the various follow-up matters concerned, they returned to the Gu family’s mansion while holding hands.

 

As soon as they entered the house, Chen Xing raised his hand, took a deep breath of the fresh air in the courtyard, and said loudly, “I, Chen Xing, am back again!!!”

 

Because of Chen Xing’s tugging, Gu Lang, who was holding hands with him, was similarly forced to raise his hand, only that he did not have a single look of annoyance on his face at all. He looked at Chen Xing with a smile on his face, as if whatever Chen Xing did was very cute in his eyes.

 

After Chen Xing shouted, he immediately put his hand down, then looked at Gu Lang with an excited expression and said aloud, ”Let’s go wash the pomelo! I remember there are still some pomelo leaves at home, so I’ll add them in now.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s cheeks flushed with excitement, and suddenly got a few teasing thoughts, looking at him and saying in a gentle voice, “Does Xing Xing want to take a bath with me? But according to the relationship between the two of us, there’s no harm in bathing together.”
