turn the clouds

Chapter 3
After receiving Miss Six's reward, Chu Tianshu returned to Qi Zhongliu's courtyard.

At this moment, Qi Zhongliu has sent someone to change his slave status from a man slave to a book boy.

For a slave, this is already a remarkable class leap.

The house slaves who were in charge of doing some chores in the yard were very envious, and two of them were even willing to help Chu Tianshu carry the sundries that he had in the Manu collective dormitory.

"Brother Chu, this will be your future residence." A little maid smiled and showed Chu Tianshu the way, and said enviously, "This is your room alone."

Following the guidance of the little maid, Chu Tianshu casually glanced at his so-called "room".

This is a small room with a maximum of [-] square meters. At the end of the room is a bare wooden bed, a wooden table whose wood is beginning to decay, and two wooden stools.

It's a very simple pigeon cage, but even so, it is already something that the slaves can't reach.

"Thank you." Chu Tianshu thanked the little maid.

Then the two servants who volunteered to help Chu Tianshu move his bedding and daily sundries also came back.

Chu Tianshu originally wanted to put the things down by himself, but these two people enthusiastically helped Chu Tianshu put the things down together.

The work of making the bed was volunteered by the little maid, while the work of sweeping the dust and cleaning up the garbage was done by two domestic servants.

Quite accommodating.

Chu Tianshu thought that he should give the three of them some money, but the three of them refused to accept the money.

Chu Tianshu didn't force it after giving way.

During the subsequent dinner time, the young and lovely maid brought Chu Tianshu a lot of cakes and leftovers that were returned from the kitchen and leftovers eaten by the masters.

"I'll just eat a piece of pastry, I'm not hungry." Chu Tianshu symbolically took a piece of pastry.

"Brother Chu doesn't like these things?" The little maid looked at Chu Tianshu with her head tilted from the side: "Then I will take less from now on."

"I really like it, but I don't eat much, so I can't eat too much." Chu Tianshu replied.

In feudal society, as long as the class is promoted, the kindness that comes naturally is endless.

"Brother Chu is very similar to the second young master." The servant girl said.

Chu Tianshu glanced out: "It's getting late."

"Yes." The little maid said sensiblely, "I also have to go to the kitchen to help clean things up."

As she spoke, she packed up all the leftovers and put them on the table in Chu Tianshu's room: "Brother Chu, save these things to eat at night when you are hungry."

Chu Tianshu watched her diligent and skillful movements, but did not speak.

"What's your name?" Chu Tianshu suddenly asked when the little maid was about to leave.

This is a question that the little girl has been waiting for for a long time, she said with some joy, "My name is Hongyu."

"The name sounds nice." Chu Tianshu boasted.

Hongyu smiled and ran away.

Chu Tianshu watched her leave, turned around and took the leftovers to reward the two servants who helped him carry things.

These two people were huddled in a crowd to eat, while eating, talking about interesting things in the mansion, and exchanging interesting things with the servants in other courtyards.

Seeing Chu Tianshu coming, he quickly got up to respond, feeling flattered.

"In the afternoon, you helped me move so many things, but you refused to accept my money, so I thought, I will find a chance to take you out for a good meal in a few days, but I can't let you go out today. After working hard, I still ate some vegetables and rice without oil and water, thinking about it, I brought some leftovers and rice to eat with you, don’t give up on it.” Chu Tianshu said, and opened the paper bag that was placed by the red jade code.

It is said to be leftover rice, but in fact, it is mostly the better part of the leftovers that the hosts stop eating after a bite or two.

There are chicken and meat in these leftovers, and more of them are pastries that have not been touched.

Those who eat in the handy room are all domestic servants who do some hard work. There is no oil and water for meals on weekdays, and what they do is hard work. Seeing these things now, they can't eat anymore.

As Chu Tianshu said, he handed over the leftovers, and said to the people around him: "You guys have worked hard for a few days, and after a few days, I will talk to Young Master Seventeen to give you some lightheartedness. work."

"Thank you Brother Chu." Lin Hao was very grateful to Chu Tianshu for earning enough face in front of his companions.

Zhou Yin was also very grateful and apologized again and again.

At this time, Chu Tianshu said again: "A little leftover food is worthless stuff, and it looks like a lot. If you brothers don't dislike it, you can come and eat some. By the way, help me take care of my baby. Two brothers, they are still young and still growing up, so they can't do any heavy work."

The servants present looked at the oily chicken legs that Chu Tianshu held in his hands, and applauded repeatedly: "I must help you take care of them."

With that said, a group of people came over to share the leftovers.

The leftovers brought by Hongyu are enough for two or three people to eat, but there are ten or twenty servants who eat in this room. These things are distributed to everyone, but in fact they are only a little bit.

Rather than asking people to supplement nutrition, it is better to take it out to relieve hunger.

But for Lin Hao and Zhou Yin, the most important thing is not to have a full stomach, but to save face in front of their companions, and to take care of them when they share the leftovers.

Although it's just a scene talk, but among 20 people, there will always be someone who will really take care of them.

After all, Chu Tianshu has already said that they are brothers.

"Then I'll go back first." Chu Tianshu finished sharing the leftovers and patted Zhou Yin on the shoulder.

"Brother Chu, go slowly." Zhou Yin and Lin Hao were very reluctant.

It's not that the feelings are so deep.

The three of them were just strangers, and Chu Tianshu didn't even remember their names.

Back in his "room", Qi Zhongliu sent another person to look for him.

"Chu Shuban, Young Master Seventeen is calling you to meet him." The visitor said to Chu Tianshu.

Hearing this, Chu Tianshu nodded, "Please ask me, what is the Seventeenth Young Master looking for me for?"

The visitor shook his head: "I don't know, Young Master Seventeen has already fallen asleep, but he couldn't sleep, so he got up and said he wanted you to see him."

"I see, thank you very much." Chu Tianshu handed over a two-cent coin.

When the visitor touched two one-cent coins, he happily accepted them.

These two cents are one-tenth of Chu Tianshu's monthly salary.

Arriving at Qi Zhongliu's residence, he was sitting in the study in a daze.

Seeing Li, Chu Tianshu called him several words for a long time, and then he came back to his senses.

As soon as he regained his composure, he immediately pulled Chu Tianshu to sit behind the desk in the study, and pressed Chu Tianshu on the chair: "Come quickly, come and write some poems for me."

"You know how to write poetry, right?" Qi Zhongliu finally remembered to ask symbolically.

Chu Tianshu nodded: "Yes, what poem does the young master want to write?"
