You Miao waved at him and said, "Come here."
Li Zhifeng stood up and took two steps over, then knelt down. Even kneeling like this, he was still a head taller than You Miao. Looking down at him, You Miao always felt that there was an indescribable taste in his eyes.
You Miao held the pen in his right hand, and with his left hand, he opened his collar and picked out the jade pendant, saying, "This life-saving talisman is really useful. My mother left it to me. Look, your half-dead character has been cured in two days."
Li Zhifeng did not answer.
You Miao asked again, "How can men do that?"
Li Zhifeng did not answer.
You Miao said again, "Speak."
You Miao finally understood why Li Yan wanted to beat him up. If You Miao had bought someone himself and acted like he was worth 2.58 million yuan, and did not even answer, You Miao might have wanted to beat him up too. However, fortunately, he had been prepared before, so he did not care at the moment.
Li Zhifeng: "I can't explain it clearly."
You Miao said: "Then you can sleep with me some other day and teach me how to play. I haven't played this game with a man yet. It's too much of a waste to buy you back with two hundred taels of silver and just let you serve tea and pour water."
Li Zhifeng nodded and looked at You Miao for a moment. You Miao just felt that this man was really boring.
"Turn sideways." You Miao motioned him to turn sideways. Tired of sitting, just looking for something to lean on, so he leaned on his arms and lazily flipped through the book. He heard the wheezing sound in his lungs, as if he had asthma.
You Miao gradually fell asleep in the afternoon, and Li Zhifeng didn't move at all, just like a piece of wood for him to lean on. When he woke up from a coma and stood up, Li Zhifeng staggered, obviously his feet were numb. You Miao laughed and let him boil the medicine himself.
For several days, every morning when You Miao got up, Li Zhifeng would help him dress and put on shoes, comb his hair and put on his hat. Every time he knelt down to help him adjust his robe, he would kneel on one knee, never showing any sign of servility. You Miao gradually felt that this slave had an indescribable sense of elegance in every move.
Li Zhifeng took two doses of medicine, and within ten days, his health gradually improved, but he never left the house. You Miao also sent all the servants out of the room and let Li Zhifeng serve him. Unexpectedly, Li Zhifeng was not only willing to work, but also very tacit.
As long as You Miao had a thought in his mind, Li Zhifeng would come over with a cup and put it next to the table as if he knew what he meant. When he wrote, a towel would be put over for him to wipe his hands. When You Miao stretched, Li Zhifeng would collect the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to wash. For several days in a row, You Miao found that this guy was very easy to use.
Except for accompanying the bed, Li Zhifeng could do everything without him asking. The only shortcoming is that he is too silent. Sometimes when You Miao is reading at home, Li Zhifeng hugs one knee and looks out the door. He doesn't know what he is looking at, but he can look at it for the whole afternoon. When he hears You Miao making any noise, he turns his head to look and then stands up to come over.
Li Zhifeng is the person You Miao likes to serve the most. In the final analysis, You Miao concludes that Li Zhifeng cares about him. The servants around him would be lazy if they could, but Li Zhifeng is grateful because he saved his life and wants to repay the favor.
Very good, very good.
You Miao is very satisfied with him. He even sent Shi Qi away and left him alone to serve. He put a few layers of mattresses behind the screen and let Li Zhifeng sleep in that small area, which is like a nest surrounded by a quilt. Li Zhifeng is like a dog that comes when called and leaves when dismissed. No, calling him a dog is not enough. He doesn't even need to be called. As long as You Miao notices him and they look at each other, Li Zhifeng can tell whether You Miao is calling him over or just noticing him and looking at him casually.
He is so comfortable, but he also talks so little. If we can talk more, chat and play with him, it will be more perfect. You Miao has not gone out for almost half a month. He has been studying at home, intending to make up for the missed lessons. He has been more obedient. You Deyou has come to see him several times during this period. Every time there is a noise, You Miao tells Li Zhifeng to hide behind the screen.
You Deyou thought that his nephew had changed his character, but only You Miao knew best that he had no money. There are less than sixty taels of silver left, which will last until the next time he asks his father for money. It has only been three months. After the New Year, he must find a way to coax some money to spend.
However, when You Miao was bored at home, Li Yan came to the door by himself.
"You Miao!" Li Yan stood in the yard and yelled. He didn't care whether You Miao was at home or not. He brought a servant boy and walked in swaggeringly. You Miao went out with his clothes in order. It happened that You Deyou was not at home, and his concubine Yanhong was peeking out from the corridor. It was a sunny winter day today, and it was strange that Li Yan came to visit. You Miao was quite flattered.
"What's wrong?" You Miao asked.
Li Yan stepped forward and pushed You Miao, saying, "I want to ask you what's wrong with you. What are you doing hiding at home all day?"
You Miao laughed and said, "I'm reading."
Li Yan sneered, "I believe you. Your family is so rich, but I have never seen you read books. What kind of books are you reading at this time?"
You Miao knew that Li Yan had also put down his arrogance and came to apologize, so he put his arm around his shoulder affectionately, and the two brothers walked towards the backyard.
"To be honest, I only spend money and don't study, and the old man will be angry." You Miao smiled and said, "If you don't study, you will cut off my food."
Li Yan thought of something, took out the two hundred taels of silver from his pocket, threw it back to You Miao, and said, "Here, I'll give it back to you."
You Miao was really touched, but knew it was difficult to take it, so he hurriedly said, "No, no, how can I take the money from a business that never changes?"
Li Yan grabbed You Miao's collar and pushed him into the room, "Just keep it!" You
Miao: "My family does business, and we never take the money back!" Li Yan
: "You want to be scolded again?"
You Miao: "The person is alive, even if I really buy from you..."
Li Yan and You Miao pushed and shoved, Li Yan couldn't help but want to press You Miao under him and rub him around, suddenly the door opened, You Miao felt that he was leaning on someone, and when he turned around, he saw that it was Li Zhifeng. When
Li Yan saw Li Zhifeng, his face suddenly turned black.
Li Zhifeng just didn't say anything. He let You Miao stand behind him, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something. You Miao liked this man who was easy to order around, and was afraid that Li Yan would take him back and beat him to death, so he hurriedly said: "I've already bought it, so this man belongs to me."
Li Yan was angry and shouted: "How dare you! You are a dog! Why don't
you kneel down!" Li Zhifeng was indifferent. Seeing that Li Yan's face was not right, You Miao hurriedly said: "Kneel, kneel down, Li Zhifeng, kneel down." Li
Zhifeng knelt on one knee without saying a word, pressed his knee with his left hand, supported the ground with his right fist, and bowed slightly to You Miao.
You Miao smiled and said, "Or let's do this."
You Miao took the two hundred taels of silver notes from Li Yan's hand, took one hundred taels for himself, and stuffed another hundred taels into Li Yan's arms, saying, "His surname is Li. Is that the name you gave him?"
Li Yan snorted coldly, and You Miao said again, "I won't change his name. As for the Quanrong slave, just consider it a gift from you. I'll use this money to treat you to a drink, okay?"
Li Yan said, "I'm your slave now
. Can I beat you?" You Miao said, "Of course you can.
Just beat me." Li Yan kicked Li Zhifeng to the ground, picked up a vase and smashed it on his head. There was a sound of broken porcelain, and the vase shattered all over the floor. Li Zhifeng's forehead was bleeding, and he staggered and forced himself to kneel.
You Miao's face twitched, and he put his hands in his sleeves. Li Yan said, "This bastard, he got it for free."
You Miao said, "It's done, isn't it?"
Li Yan said, "I'll give you face, so forget it."
You Miao didn't know what grudge Li Yan had with the dog Rong slave, but after talking it out, Li Yan couldn't embarrass him in the future, and he could take him out next time.
Li Yan turned and walked towards the courtyard. You Miao was very happy. This matter was over, and Li Yan's matter was also talked out.
He asked again, "Where are you going to play today?" Li Yan said, "The Lin family kid got a good horse from the Western Regions. Let's go and take a look. Let's go." Li
Zhifeng was still kneeling in the room, motionless. You Miao and Li Yan walked out through the corridor with their arms around each other.
After Li Yan and You Miao left, the concubine Yanhong came out from behind the corridor column and looked curiously into You Miao's room. She saw Li Zhifeng with blood all over his head, kneeling on one knee, picking up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and putting away the broken vase.
"Are you someone close to Master You?" Yanhong asked, "Why haven't I seen you before?"
Li Zhifeng looked up at her.
Yanhong asked again, "Are you mute?"
It was said that You Miao and Li Yan were talking and laughing that day. They went to the home of the Minister of Rites to see the pony that their playboy friend had gotten. You Miao didn't know how to ride a horse, so Li Yan said he would teach him to ride. When they were about to go out of the city to ride a horse, a servant from You's mansion came to deliver a letter, asking him to go back quickly.
You Miao was very bored, so he had to temporarily leave his friends and go home. When he entered the mansion, he saw Li Zhifeng kneeling in the hall, with his indenture on the table. You Deyou was furious, lying on the chair and trembling like a mountain of flesh, and You Miao knew what was going on.
"This guy..." You Miao said, "A friend gave him to me. He's a slave."
You Deyou: "You can keep a slave?! You think he's an ordinary slave? This slave is very difficult to raise! You don't know! Send him away immediately! Send him away, send him away, don't make trouble!" You Miao's
heart skipped a beat, he looked at Li Zhifeng and asked, "Have you got into trouble?"
Li Zhifeng neither nodded nor shook his head.
You Miao chuckled and said, "Uncle, let me keep him. This guy is less troublesome than Shi Qier."
"No!" You Deyou roared like thunder.
The wife sitting next to him was startled and the tea spilled all over her body. She hurriedly said, "Master, calm down, Master, calm down... Miao'er, hey, this is not an ordinary slave, he is a Quanrong! We can't keep a Quanrong slave in our house, something bad will happen!"
Mo Yuer "Quanrong?"
You Miao didn't quite understand. What's wrong with the Quanrong?
You Deyou lectured him viciously, "Miaozi, Miaozi, you don't know how much the court hates the Quanrong people! That year, I went to the border to transport a batch of goods. When we Han people and the Quanrong people started fighting, the number of people killed was as high as wheat stubble. The Quanrong people raped our Han women, set fire to our Han houses, and stabbed our children to death. Isn't this enough?!"
