Chapter 93: The horizontal flute and the vertical flute

Chu Huan knew that since Linlang had prepared this house, she would never be able to retreat no matter what. Linlang seemed to be very gentle to him, but Chu Huan also knew a little about this woman's personality. She was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. If she really returned the deeds and land deeds, with Linlang's temperament, she would really tear them up.

Linlang was kind after all, and Chu Huan had to be ungrateful. Moreover, what Linlang said was not unreasonable. It would be fine if he was alone, but he still had family to take care of and let them live a better life. Of course, there was nothing wrong with it.

Linlang did these things, which was to repay kindness, and Chu Huan was even more grateful. But even he himself did not expect that he hoped that there would be no relationship between the two of them, but now he is getting more and more entangled, and he can no longer tell who has the greater kindness to whom.

Fortunately, when he is still dormant, Linlang is not unacceptable to arrange such things for him. In any case, if he has the opportunity to make his family live a better life and repay Linlang's favor, he will not refuse even if he does other harder things, let alone just train a few guards.

The Su Mansion and Chu Huan's house were really only separated by a street. It didn't take too long to get home. Although it was already very late, Su Niang was still waiting at home and did not sleep.

After entering the house, Su Niang asked, "Have you had dinner tonight? I've left you a meal and I'll go and heat it up!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "I have used supper." He asked, "Is mom sleeping?"

"Yeah!" Su Niang nodded and said, "Uncle has also gone to bed. They are old and can't stand the cold weather. But my uncle said, since you come out, there will be nothing serious. If there is no heavy snow tomorrow morning, he will go back to the county town."

Chu Huan frowned and said, "What are you doing in a hurry?"

"I also advised him so that he would wait for you to come back to discuss it." Su Niang said, "It's just that my uncle said he would teach students to study, and he had to go back." Looking at Chu Huan, he asked carefully this time, "Erlang, do we...we also want to go back tomorrow?"

Chu Huan looked at Su Niang, and the lights were lit in the hall. The lights shone on Su Niang's face, which was really charming, but Chu Huan seemed to see something from Su Niang's eyes, as if he was reluctant to leave... Yes, he was reluctant to leave.

There is no doubt that this house is really a difference between the dilapidated and poor houses in Liujia Village. Although Su Niang is not a person who is lazy and hates to work and wealth, she is a mortal with flesh and blood after all, and life here is far better than that in Liujia Village. It is natural for Su Niang to leave here immediately.

Seeing Su Niang's expression, Chu Huan was even more determined to let her family live here. She smiled slightly and did not answer Su Niang's question. Instead, she asked: "Sister Su Niang, do you like living here?"

Su Niang was stunned, as if someone had seen through her mind. Her pretty face turned red and she muttered: "Living here... It's not good if there are no villagers... It's just that it's warm here..." Her voice was very small, but Chu Huan suddenly heard it.

Chu Huan leaned on the chair and looked at Su Niang standing next to her with a shy look. She felt very novel. This was the first time since she saw Su Niang, she saw her shy look and laughed in her heart: "It turns out that it's not just a tigress. She really wants to be shy, it's also very beautiful." She said softly: "Sister Su Niang, sit down first, I have something to discuss with you!"

Seeing that Chu Huan was seriously about discussing things with her, this was the first time she discussed things with her. For an era when a family was dominated by men, she obviously still had a very strong position in this family. She immediately sat down and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's about this house." Chu Huan said: "Sister Su Niang, I'll ask you seriously, do you like this house? Do you want to live here for a long time?"

Su Niang was stunned, then lowered her head, not looking at Chu Huan, but just glanced at Chu Huan from the corner of her eyes, and said a little embarrassedly: "This... this is someone else's house, how can we live here for a long time?"

"Then do you like this?" Chu Huan laughed and said, "If that's the case, that's great. Sister Su Niang, starting today, this house is ours. You can live as long as you want!"

Su Niang looked up suddenly and said in surprise: "Is what my uncle said true?"

Chu Huan laughed and asked, "My uncle has told you?"

As soon as Su Niang said this, she knew that she had lost her words, just like her previous words were artificial, with a fever on her face and muttered: "My uncle said that the Su family gave you a house. If you go there at night, you want to return the house!"

"I can't retreat." Chu Huan shook his head and sighed.

Su Niang suppressed the joy in her heart, stared at Chu Huan and asked, "What's wrong?" and said, "My uncle said, this house is too expensive. Even if we give some kind of favor to others, we cannot... cannot accept such a valuable gift!"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Don't worry, I've already handled it. I'll go to Su Mansion to do things in two days. The salary I give me is very high. The cost of the house will be deducted from my salary!"

"Wage?" Su Niang said in surprise: "Uncle said this house is worth four or five hundred taels of silver. If you rely on your wages, I'm afraid I won't pay it back for ten or eight years!" Although disappointed, he still said: "Erlang, forget it, you will be nailed to the Su family like this and driven by them. I don't know how they bully you... Let's go back to Liujia Village, so that you won't be able to escape in the future!"

Su Niang's words made Chu Huan feel comfortable. Although Su Niang hoped to live a better life, she at least cared about herself and did not ignore her reason because of material things. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I said, the wages over there are high, I will give me fifteen taels of silver every month, and there will be red envelopes at the end of the year. If nothing unexpected happens, you can pay it off at most two years. Since you like this, we will stay here in the future!"

Su Niang heard Chu Huan say that she had a salary of fifteen taels of silver per month, and her cherry lips were slightly opened, looking disbelief.

She was born in the countryside. Not to mention fifteen taels of silver every month, even fifteen taels of silver every year was a huge sum of money for her. After a while of surprise, she said, "Really?"

Chu Huan nodded.

Su Niang looked solemn and lowered her voice: "Erlang, I feel strange."

Seeing her solemn expression and looking mysterious, Chu Huan was amused and asked, "Oh, what's weird?"

"I don't think you are worth fifteen taels of silver!" Su Niang said frankly.

Chu Huan burst into cold sweat and said embarrassedly: "Sister Su Niang, you can't look down on others so much, why do I think I'm worth at least twenty taels of silver!"

Su Niang gave him a blank look, with a very charming voice, and said in a low voice: "I'm not joking with you. I mean you can't be worth fifteen taels of silver a month... You said you're just showing off your strength and fighting, and you don't have other skills. Why did the Su family give you such a high wage?"

Chu Huan said helplessly: "Sister Su Niang, do you really think I have no other skills?"

"I didn't see it anyway." Su Niang said: "Erlang, don't joke, I'm serious. You only know how to fight, but they give you such a high salary. They don't think about...think..." but didn't say it.

"What do you think?"

Su Niang hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Don't you want you to help them kill and set fire?" If that's true, we can't ask for anything this house says."

Chu Huan was amused in her heart. She felt that Su Niang was really daring to think. She pretended to be deep. She pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Sister Su Niang, you are right. You can't want this house. I will go back to them tomorrow. Let's go back to Liujia Village directly!"

Su Niang was stunned, a little anxious, and hurriedly said, "I'm just guessing randomly, you... don't take it seriously. In fact, this possibility is not great. The Su family has a lot of money, so it shouldn't be like this!" He also said, "Maybe I'm really grateful for helping them this time, so I gave you a house. This house is nothing to rich people."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "I also think they won't be like that. Since we have agreed with the other side, we will live first. I will work in their house. If I really want me to kill someone and set fire, we will go back!"

When Su Niang heard this, she said happily: "You are still smart. That's it. Let's live here now..." She stood up and said: "Erlang, you haven't seen this house yet? But it's big, there is a backyard, a kitchen, and a rattan rack at the back. My uncle said it was a grape rack. There will be grapes and water wells in autumn. I counted it. The house is connected to the main hall, but there are seven or eight houses. You don't sleep in the lobby in the future!"

Chu Huan stood up and said, "Then where am I sleeping?"

When Su Niang heard that she wanted to live in this house for a long time, she felt happy and enthusiastic, and said, "Come with me, I will take you there. I will help you clean up your house, it's so warm!"

In addition to the main hall, there are also the left and right wing rooms. In addition, there are also the back hall. There are several houses on both sides of the back hall. Although they are not the houses of rich families, they are also quite wider than those of wealthy families.

Su Niang held the oil lamp and took Chu Huan to a spacious room with complete items, a wooden bed, and a tent hung there, which was also brand new and thick quilt inside.

Chu Huan looked around and was very satisfied. Su Niang smiled and said, "You will live here from now on. Mr. Su is really thoughtful. You have prepared everything on your side, and even the things in my room are prepared, including dressing tables, mirrors, and tents... I have only heard people say about those things before, but now I have seen them all!"

She seemed very excited, but Chu Huan understood it. It was like a person who suddenly won millions of lottery tickets. His emotions were inevitably changed. He just thought that Su Niang and her mother had been living a hard life, but now she could live a more comfortable life, but she felt very relieved.

Chu Huan glanced across the room and saw a few calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, which seemed quite elegant. Suddenly, he saw a bamboo flute hanging in the corner of the wall, and he couldn't help but walk over.

Seeing that Chu Huan was interested in the bamboo flute, Su Niang explained: "This flute was said to be left by the former owner of the house and was decorated here. I looked very beautiful, so I didn't pick it off."

Chu Huan had already taken off the bamboo flute from the wall, shook his head and smiled, "Sister Su Niang, this is not a flute, it is a bamboo flute!"

"Bamboo flute?" Su Niang was stunned, gave Chu Huan a blank look, and said, "The flute and the bamboo flute are not the same, and I look no different. There are people in the village who can play the flute. I saw that they played it, it was similar to this one!"

Chu Huan sat down on the chair with a bamboo flute and said softly: "The appearance is similar, but the way of blowing is different. In a word, it is called playing the flute horizontally and playing the flute vertically!"

"Play the flute horizontally and the flute vertically?" Su Niang was a little confused: "What does it mean?"

Chu Huan didn't explain, holding the bamboo flute with both hands and gently blowing it to the mouth of the flute. A very desolate flute sound suddenly sounded, with excellent sound quality and even more wonderful music.

Chu Huan blew twice, and suddenly thought that it was midnight and his family had already fallen asleep. He stopped quickly, but Su Niang looked surprised on her face and couldn't help asking, "You...you can play the flute? Why don't I know?"

"You won't know now!" Chu Huan smiled and said, "The sound of the flute is the most beautiful. When I have free time, I will teach you how to play the flute!"
