Chapter 1054: The Man Comes Riding on a Bamboo Horse (43)
Hearing Xue Yao's voice, Qiu Yang turned to look at the person who came. He saw that he was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and after it turned completely red, it slowly turned into iron blue, and finally turned into black.
After all, he had been with Qiu Yang for so many years that the servant almost blurted out: "Master, you have changed your color!"
"Shut up, I'm just mad!" Qiu Yang glared at his servant unhappily, "If you can't speak, get out of here!"
In fact, Qiu Yang was not only angry, but also shy, embarrassed and awkward!
Over the years, he said that he hated the Xue family, but occasionally in his dreams at midnight, he would still miss the days when he, Xue Yao, and Xue Yuan's biological father Lu Qing went to school together.
Qiu Yang was good at martial arts, Xue Yao was good at making weapons, and Lu Qing was well-educated.
Xue Yao looked at Qiu Yang's changing expression and chuckled, "Qiu Yang, after all these years, you haven't changed at all. It seems your internal martial arts skills are truly advanced. You can even change your color at will by adjusting your breathing!"
"I was just mad at you, I didn't change my color on purpose!" Qiu Yang has actually calmed down a lot over the years, but today he saw his childhood friends, his rivals in his youth, and his old friends who are now middle-aged, so he couldn't control his emotions.
"Since you're here, I'll treat you to a drink! Let's just reminisce about the past!" When Xue Yao was young, he also had a period of youthful recklessness, with fine clothes and horses. He was good-looking, had money and jade at his disposal, and most importantly, he was the most favored young master of the Xue family, so naturally he had the capital to be willful.
Therefore, he and Qiu Yang got along quite well at that time.
Later, the mature Lu Qing joined them, and gradually they focused their energy on the right path.
"Drink as much as you want, I'm not afraid of you!" Qiu Yang agreed readily, "But don't think that just because I drink with you, our conflict is resolved!"
Xue Yao didn't even look at him. He just walked out and said, "Drink a drink, you're so hesitant. You're really becoming less and less like yourself."
Qiu Yang chased after him cursing.
Instead, he left the servant in the blacksmith shop and stared at Xue Yuan.
"Oh!" Xue Yuan jumped up anxiously after a long while, "My dad can't drink too much. No! I have to stop him!"
Xue Yuan was about to leave when he was stopped by the servant: "Master Xue, let them have this drink! My master hasn't been drunk in years. That day when the young master of the Xue family held you in his arms, he chased after the carriage for a long time.
At the end of the run, he couldn't even stand up and wanted to crawl forward, but Master Xue's carriage never stopped for a moment. He was the only one who stayed in the capital all these years, waiting for the person who would eventually return.
Only then did Xue Yuan realize that although the person in front of him was dressed like a servant, he had the face of a middle-aged man.
As if he could see the other party's confusion, the servant smiled and said, "Actually, at my age, I should have stayed in the mansion as a steward a long time ago. It's just that the master doesn't want to change me. However, my monthly salary is much higher than the steward's."
Qiu Yang stubbornly insisted on everything and would not let the people and things around him change at all. Perhaps he thought that this way nothing would change!
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, a customer came into the store. It was an old man holding a hoe. "Master Xue, are you still getting today's discount? I need my hoe repaired!"
"Yes, uncle, you're the second one today!" Xue Yuan didn't chase after him. Instead, he took the hoe from the old man's hand and said, "Sit for a while, I'll fix it for you right away!"
It is called repair, but in fact it is almost the same as remaking it from scratch.
When Xue Yuan first became Xue Yao's apprentice, in order to find tools to practice with, he made a rule that he could repair three pieces of farm tools every day at a low price.
This rule is still valid even after he has become a master.
Normally he would just bang on it and repair it, but today the hoe was badly damaged, so Xue Yuan simply scrapped it.
Seeing this, the uncle quickly waved his hand and said, "Master Xiao Xue, if you can't fix it, forget it. I'll just buy a new one. This is a waste of your time."
"It's okay. I'm not busy today. I'll just redo it for you!" Xue Yuan said nonchalantly. "Don't worry! I won't charge you any extra money. Just consider it a practice for me."
The servant just sat aside and watched Xue Yuan hammering and forging the hoe.
It was difficult for him to connect Xue Yuan's face with the blacksmithing. After all, Young Master Lu Qing was known for being weak and frail.
Xue Yuan is now very strong. Thinking of this, he has to admit that the young master of the Xue family has taken good care of Xue Yuan. At least he is healthy.
The hoe was quickly finished, and Xue Yuan only charged two cents before sending the old man away.
He turned around and found the servant staring at him. He didn't quite understand the emotion in the other's eyes, so he asked, "Uncle servant, do you think there's anything wrong with wanting me?"
Uncle Xiaoshi? What kind of a name is that?
"Just call me Ah Qi!" Ah Qi thought for a moment and said, "That's what your father used to call me."
