Chapter 2, leaving one unable to breathe in or out

During the waiting process for the melody of "Non-Smoke," Chu Qinghe shifted his attention inward, focusing on his thoughts.

However, until he opened the door and entered the courtyard, Chu Qinghe could not recall where he had heard these three words before, and he soon ceased to ponder further.

Chu Qinghe propped his chin and said, "There is still plenty of time. You can go and fetch your luggage first, and after buying what you need, come back to cook."

Chu Qinghe nodded and said: "Good!"

And under the camellia tree, at this moment, Chu Qinghe, who was sitting by the stone table savoring tea, unexpectedly gave Qu Feiyan a feeling that this scene was picturesque

After glancing at Zhou Xian in front of her, Qu Feiyan took out a brown pill from her waist and placed it in front of Zhou Xian

Subsequently, Zhou Xian slightly nervously said: "Heroine, you see, since the matter is settled, should I... ?"

In contrast, this piece, unlike smoke, slowly turns around.

Remember, do not speak of today's matters to anyone else, otherwise, be careful of this young lady visiting your home again

The key point is that the progress of this progress bar is akin to constipation, advancing very slowly and gradually.

Subsequently, Chu Qinghe changed the subject and said: "Zhou Zhanggui has already informed you about the monthly payment on my side, hasn't he?"

Feeling the gaze of Chu Qinghe, Qu Feiyan immediately wore a clever and innocent smile on her face.

The first thing that catches the eye is a white camellia tree, nearly large enough for three adult men to embrace it.

Qu Feiyan

It truly leaves one in a state where one cannot breathe in or out, it is simply unbearable

This system is quite good, and it even has a binding progress bar

In response to what Zhou Xian said, Chu Qinghe smiled gently and looked at Zhou Xian, saying: "Manager Zhou, your words lack a bit of credibility!"

However, as he walked, Chu Qinghe appeared somewhat puzzled

With a single thought.

Others may not be aware, but Chu Qinghe certainly knows that within this dental establishment, there are always a few more land deeds and slave contracts each year, and it is probably unnecessary to elaborate on their origins

System binding progress: 99%

In the Yushui City area, one or two taels of silver is already sufficient to cover the monthly expenses of an average family of three

"Qu Feiyan, this name seems somewhat familiar."

Saying this, Zhou Xian took out a contract from his bosom, opened it, and presented it before Chu Qinghe

After his gaze lingered on Zhou Xian for a moment, Chu Qinghe glanced at the side of Qu Feiyan.

Furthermore, if you dare to casually assault those sisters who come to you seeking work, see how I will teach you a lesson

Her gaze lingered for a moment on the two characters "楚宅" (Chu Residence) on the bright red door ahead. Remembering the appearance of Chu Qinghe from before, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but murmur softly.

At the same time, when Qu Feiyan stepped into the inner courtyard, the scenery of the inner courtyard was equally clear to her.

The extra amount is usually used for household expenses such as buying groceries.

After speaking, Chu Qinghe glanced at Qu Feiyan, who was about to become his new maid, before heading towards the family door

At this moment, Chu Qinghe was already seated beside the stone table. After checking the sleeve arrows he had crafted inside his left sleeve, he picked up the kettle that had been boiling on the table since before he left and brewed a pot of tea.

Moments later, just as Chu Qinghe's attention had just returned from the system, he could faintly hear the sound of a door closing beside him

The pure white camellias spread out like a giant oiled paper umbrella, almost covering half of the entire courtyard

After all, Young Master Chu, you also know that in my line of business, I have to interact with all kinds of people from various walks of life. Over time, it could become troublesome if I were to attract unwanted attention.

Are you relatives

At the entrance, after Chu Qinghe entered the vermilion gate, Zhou Xian, who had just withdrawn his gaze, suddenly appeared uneasy.

As she spoke, Qu Feiyan walked briskly towards the main door with her hands clasped behind her back

Chu Qinghe let out a light sigh in his heart

Then he spoke up, saying: "It has not yet been brought over from the dental office."

Inner Court

In contrast to when he faced Zhou Xian outside, at this moment, upon returning home, Chu Qinghe seemed to shed his disguise, leaning against the stone table as if he had no bones, his entire body exuding a sense of languor and relaxation.

After several months, it is still at "99%" now

As the courtesan had just finished her bath, dressed in a thin gauzy garment and lying down, she suddenly exclaimed that her menstrual period had arrived, and that she was also suffering from oral ulcers.

Upon seeing this, Chu Qinghe let out a light sigh, and after pondering for a few moments, he nodded and said: "Then it shall be her!"

Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Qu Feiyan gently nodded and then sat down opposite Chu Qinghe

In the courtyard, there are also some delicate camellias.

Is it impossible to refuse?

On the contrary, the maid that Zhou Xian summoned for himself is excessively beautiful

In the next moment, a semi-transparent progress bar unexpectedly appeared before Chu Qinghe's eyes

This person is good-looking, but I am unsure about their character. If they turn out to be decent, it would be worth spending more time with them

The amount provided by Chu Qinghe can already be considered as an exceedingly generous monthly salary

With his gaze fixed on Qu Feiyan, and seeing that Qu Feiyan's hands were empty, Chu Qinghe slowly asked, "Where is your luggage?"

In accordance with the request of Young Master Chu, capable of cooking, able to clean the house, and diligent in work.

As he glanced at Qu Feiyan beside him, Zhou Xian, who had previously seemed easygoing, hunched his body and cautiously said: "Heroine, I have already followed your instructions as you commanded. I hope the heroine can show mercy and grant me the antidote!"

Hearing the name of Qu Feiyan in front of him, Chu Qinghe gently nodded his head

After crossing the threshold, I casually closed the door behind me

After a few moments, Qu Feiyan could no longer hold back and said, "Young Master, you are truly handsome."

Moments later, within Chu Qinghe's line of sight, he had already seen Qu Feiyan stepping into the inner courtyard

Zhou Xian smiled and said: "Then I thank Young Master Chu. If this girl ever does anything wrong one day, you can come to me right away. Here is the written document, Young Master Chu, please keep it safe."

This feeling is akin to seeking out a beautiful courtesan in a brothel

Upon seeing this, Zhou Xian felt as if he had received a great pardon, and he quickly ran a few steps to the carriage, then drove the carriage away swiftly

Now, however, it is somewhat intriguing that she has been given to herself as a maid by Zhou Xian

Half a year ago, when Chu Qinghe's memories of his previous life began to resurface, he discovered that an additional sign-in system had appeared within his body

Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan waved her hand to indicate.

The gaze remained fixed on Chu Qinghe's face

Beneath its progress bar, there is a line of small text

After glancing at the silver on the table, Qu Feiyan inquired, "What should I do now? Clean or do the laundry?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled gently and said, "Your words are quite sweet."

In that manner, it seems as if staying even a moment longer would result in losing one's life

Chu Qinghe first nodded, then refilled his cup with tea and said to Qu Feiyan, who was standing beside him: "Please sit down! From now on, there are no strict rules here, just feel free to be yourself."

Qu Feiyan nodded and said: "One or two taels of silver, with a two-day monthly break"

Blinking an eye

The sound emanated from the entrance, and it was only at the front yard gate that Qu Feiyan came to her senses

Yet there was a fleeting look of confusion in the eyes

Inside, there are pillows and quilts, but some items used by women are missing. Later, if you notice what is lacking, please buy some back!

Upon seeing this, Qu Feiyan glanced at the silver ingot on the table. A glimmer of cunning flashed in her eyes before she spoke: "You give me money right after I arrive; are you not worried that I might take the wages and run away?"

While speaking, Chu Qinghe took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels from his bosom and placed it on the table

Zhou Xian quickly raised both hands to receive the pills

Listening to Chu Qinghe's words, Zhou Xian was taken aback for a moment, feeling somewhat perplexed.

Feiyan is a distant relative of mine. My parents passed away early, and now that he is getting older, it is no longer appropriate to keep him at home

Ordinary systems are essentially ready to use as soon as they are opened

Of course, the price remains the same as before, no increase is necessary

It just so happens that Young Master Chu is also in need of a maid at home, so I thought it would be best to send this girl over to serve as your maid

After glancing at the content above and the signature of Qu Feiyan, Chu Qinghe casually took it and put it away

Upon hearing this, Qu Feiyan beside her let out a light snort, and the previous docility vanished in an instant, replaced by a somewhat haughty demeanor.

Then looking at Zhou Xiandao, he said: "If you are not feeling well, Master Zhou, just blink your eyes"

Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Apart from the room I am staying in, all the other rooms are currently vacant. You may choose any one that you like."

After swallowing the pill, Zhou Xiancai responded, "Rest assured, heroine, no matter how bold I am, I would not dare to do such a thing. In the future, I will ensure that I do not resort to violence again"

To know, a woman of such beauty as the one before me, if Zhou Xian were to send her to the brothels and pleasure houses in the city as a merchant, he would likely make a considerable profit

After Chu Qinghe took over the contract, Zhou Xian said softly, "Then I would trouble Young Master Chu to enter first, allowing me to have a few words with this girl"

The air in the courtyard is filled with a distinct fragrance of camellias

It is not that there is dissatisfaction with the person in front, Qu Feiyan

Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Zhou Xian quickly replied, "I would dare to deceive others, but how could I possibly deceive Young Master Chu!"

As if sensing Chu Qinghe's confusion, Zhou Xian quickly forced a smile after glancing at the girl beside him
