Before Yao Qianshu and Ye Hong stepped into the door of Yao's house, the door was opened from the inside first.
Two young men in blue robes and cloth hats often seen in TV dramas struggled to open the two-foot-high door.
The two boys were young, only about ten years old, and their bodies were only a little taller than the threshold.
"Who is it, making a noise at the door so early in the morning?"
An old voice came from inside the door, and then a stooped but agile white-haired old man rushed out of the door.
The moment he saw Yao Qianshu, he rubbed his eyes several times in surprise, and then exclaimed: "Young Master?"
Yao Qianshu rubbed his nose embarrassedly and said hello: "Uncle Chang, long time no see."
"Master, you miss me so much!"
The old man took three steps and two steps at a time, came to Yao Qianshu, hugged his body, and cried bitterly.
"You have been gone for more than five years without any news, but it has broken the hearts of everyone in the house.
We thought you disliked us, young master! "
Yao Qianshu seemed to have a sore nose and hugged the old man back with red eyes.
He choked slightly and introduced Ye Hong: "Brother, he is the chief steward of our Yao family.
He has no name, just call him Chang Bo.
Chang Bo has been very good to me since I was a child and is a very trustworthy person. "
Only then did Chang Bo realize that Yao Qianshu had brought a stranger back. He wiped his eyes, but gave an ancient Chinese ritual to Ye Hong: "Thank you for taking care of the young master. I don't know the name of this guest." ?”
Ye Hong had a good impression of this loyal old housekeeper, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to move, otherwise your surname is Ye, and the only name is Hong."
"It turns out to be Master Ye."
Chang Bo gave another big gift, but made a gesture of invitation to the two of them: "You two, if there is no place for talking here, please come into the house with me and have a detailed discussion."
When passing by the two young men in green clothes, Ye Hong noticed that they were looking at Ye Hong curiously with their dark eyes, as if they were looking at aliens.
Ye Hong couldn't help but feel sad when he thought that these two young children might have seen outsiders for the first time since they were born.
Children of their age outside must be happily attending elementary school and learning about the mysteries of the world.
But the two of them could only be trapped in this cage, like frogs at the bottom of a well, looking at the same narrow patch of sky every day.
Such and such, how could Ye Hong not feel sad.
Seemingly noticing Ye Hong's gaze, Chang Bo sighed softly and introduced: "They are my grandsons, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Guang."
"Do they usually work as doormen?"
"Isn't it? Otherwise, what else can we do?"
Hearing Chang Bo's words, Ye Hong had complicated thoughts.
If these two children do not escape from this prison, their next generation and the next generation will still have to repeat the work of slaves and will never see the light of day.
"Now you know why I ran away from home, right?"
Yao Qianshu on the side also looked at the surroundings with disgust.
After entering the manor, along the way, you can see that the Yao family manor pays great attention to the layout.
Pavilions, waterside pavilions, blue bricks and stone tiles, small bridges and flowing water are all combined to be pleasing to the eye and make people feel peaceful.
Faintly, it seems that the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard in the distance.
But just as Ye Hong was silently feeling this scene, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"Yao Qianshu, a traitor to your family, do you have the nerve to come back?!"
