The Young Master of the Chamberlain's Family

Chapter 21 Jealousy

The sun is scorching, the cicadas are chirping, and the occasional breeze blows by, bringing with it a touch of warmth.

"Brother," Zheng Qingyan looked longingly at the apricot trees in his yard, "Can I eat them?"

The apricots were orange-yellow, round and looked like they were ripe. Qingshi climbed a tree and picked a few. He washed them and handed them to the two young masters. Unexpectedly, they were pushed back.

"Bluestone, please try one first." Xu Anheng blinked and asked someone to taste it first. Some time ago, seeing that the apricots on the tree were growing well, he secretly picked two and shared them with Zheng Qingyan. Unexpectedly, the yellow apricots were quite cute, but they were not yet fully ripe, which made both of them look sour. They ran back to the house and drank several cups of tea to suppress the sour taste in their mouths.

Qingshi looked at the faces of the two masters and recalled how they were so sour from the apricots a few days ago. That day, he didn't know how the young master climbed up the tree in the blink of an eye, picked a sour apricot and put it in his mouth. Not forgetting to hand one to Young Master Zheng, he threw the apricot away as soon as he took a bite, ran into the house and picked up the tea cup to drink, but the maid who was waiting inside was frightened.

Qingshi handed the apricots to the two masters and said with a smile: "Master, these apricots are ripe and not sour."

Xu Anheng and Zheng Qingyan were now afraid of being bitten by a snake for ten years. They shook their heads and pushed Qingshi's hand back: "You eat first, you eat first."

Qingshi had no choice but to take back his hand, pick up an apricot and eat it himself.

"Is it sour?" Zheng Qingyan blinked and asked, looking at the apricot that took a big bite in Qingshi's hand.

"It's not sour," Qingshi shook his head, "This apricot is ripe and very sweet."

The two of them felt relieved and took a yellow apricot and stood under the tree to chew it.

The ripe apricots feel a little soft to the touch, not as hard as the ones a few days ago, and you can still smell the sweet apricot fragrance when you hold them in your hands.

Qingshi just grabbed three or four apricots in one hand. In his hand, the apricots looked round and small. Now they were in the hands of two small glutinous rice dumplings. The apricots were as big as their hands, and they had to eat each one. Small meeting.

Xu Anheng licked the juice from the corner of his mouth. The ripe apricots grown in the courtyard tasted sweet, soft and full of juice. Taking a bite was like drinking a bowl of honey, leaving a fragrant fragrance on his lips and teeth.

"Pick more and put them into the well to bask in them. At noon, put a small bowl in it and give it to your second brother to try." Xu Anheng bit the apricots and said vaguely.

The apricot tree in the courtyard is not very high, and you only need to climb up a short distance to pick half of the apricots. Xu Anheng watched Qingshi climbing up the tree neatly, and he was also eager to try it below.

In his last life, he grew up in a small village. He climbed trees to touch birds and went down rivers to catch fish. He did everything he could and couldn't do. Now, he is being looked after by a roomful of servants today, and he can't even run for two seconds. There were people chasing and stopping me every step of the way, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Qingshi handed the bamboo basket containing fruits down from the tree. Xia He hurriedly took it on tiptoe. With a "dong" sound, Qingshi jumped down from the tree.
