Kiyomi Tsuki and His Fox - Chapter 6
“You’re right. I’ll leave this to you. Get Lei Yongxiang out of Tianyi Ranch.”
Cai Bo'an was overjoyed, "I will certainly live up to the Lord's expectations."
Wang Jie came in and reported, "Master, lunch is ready."
Lu Qingcheng smiled and said, "You haven't even had breakfast yet, and you're already having lunch? Chief Enforcer, let's eat together and chat while we eat."
Cai Bo'an smiled and said, "Your subordinate obeys."
The two walked towards the living room, with Wang Jie accompanying them.
"Wang Jie, where's Jian Yue?"
"He's teasing that cunning little fox in the courtyard." Wang Jie couldn't help but complain, "Lord, are you going to do anything about this? That naughty boy Jian Yue stole and ate all the big bag of dried meat that my mother had someone bring me, leaving me not a single piece. And that little fox of his tore Zhang Sanlin's pants to shreds this morning."
Lu Qingcheng chuckled, "Is that so?"
"Isn't that right? That kid Zhang Sanlin came back with his big butt exposed. He was covering his private parts with both hands as he walked. They were arguing as they walked. In the heat of the moment, Zhang Sanlin accidentally exposed his treasure to Third Aunt and Second Sister in the kitchen. Third Aunt thought he was being a pervert and gave him a good scolding, while Second Sister was so frightened that she fainted on the spot." Wang Jie described the scene vividly and with great enthusiasm.
Lu Qingcheng laughed heartily, and Cai Bo'an found it amusing as well.
"Wang Jie, call Jian Yue over to have a meal together."
"Yes, Lord." Wang Jie withdrew.
Qing Jian Yue entered the hall with the little white fox. "Lord, did you call me?"
"Come and have a meal with us." Lu Qingcheng pointed to Cai Bo'an. "This is the Chief Enforcer, please pay your respects."
Kiyomi Tsuki respectfully said, "Greetings, Great Enforcer."
Cai Bo'an smiled gently. "Young brother, there's no need for such formality. I was truly astonished by your skills this morning; I never imagined you were so formidable. May I ask which school you studied under?"
"Sects?" Qing Jianyue blinked and answered very seriously, "The Hundred Schools of Thought."
Cai Bo'an was taken aback.
Kiyomi Tsuki explained, "It's like taking a bite from one house and a little from another, like a mixed stew. Have you ever eaten a mixed stew? It's delicious."
Cai Bo'an was both annoyed and amused.
Lu Qingcheng was delighted and said with a smile, "Let's have a meal. Sit down, sit down, and we can talk later."
Kiyoshitsuki hurriedly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Lord Fortress."
After Lu Qingcheng and Cai Bo'an sat down, Qing Jianyue sat next to them at the lower end of the table. As for the little white fox, it went to enjoy the feast prepared for it.
Seeing that Qing and Yue were polite and well-mannered, without the slightest arrogance, Cai Bo'an admired them even more and asked, "Young brother, how old are you this year?"
Kiyoshitsuki stared happily at the sweet and sour fish in her chopsticks and casually said, "The peach blossoms have bloomed and faded for twenty-three years, and the fish have been fat and delicious for twenty-three years."
Lu Qingcheng exclaimed in surprise, "Jian Yue, are you talking nonsense? You look no more than eighteen years old."
"Thanks to your great blessing, I will live forever."
Kiyomi Tsuki quickly put the piece of fish into her mouth.
Cai Bo'an laughed and said, "Twenty-three. You certainly don't look it. Why haven't you settled down yet, Brother Qing?"
With a "glug," the fish meat went down his throat. Qingjian Yue, with a blank expression, said stupidly, "Raising a woman? That costs money."
"puff."
Lu Qingcheng spat out the porridge she had just put in her mouth. Zhang Zhichun and Wang Jie rushed over to clean her up and serve her. Lu Qingcheng laughed loudly, while Cai Bo'an shook his head with a smile.
"No wonder some people say you're greedy; you really can't stop talking about money."
Kiyomi Tsuki said in a serious tone, "Wrong. Loving money is not the same as being greedy for money. Loving money means acquiring it in a proper way, while being greedy for money means being insatiable. The two must be distinguished. For example, if I work hard to save more money so that I can dress warmly, eat well, and live a more comfortable life, is that a bad thing?"
Cai Bo'an thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That makes some sense."
“For example,” Qing Jianyue was still eager to continue her insightful remarks, but Lu Qingcheng suddenly interrupted, “For example, I’ll reward you with two ingots of gold.” “Really? Lord, you’re the best.” Qing Jianyue beamed.
"Still saying you're not greedy? Hurry up and eat your fill before getting to work." Lu Qingcheng paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and then said, "Afternoon, Brother Bo'an is going to Tianyi Ranch, you'll go with him."
Cai Bo'an was stunned.
Qing Jianyue laughed, "Lord, you've finally let your subordinate out of the cage to spread your wings. Ha, Lord, you're the most considerate of your subordinates. I've been so bored lately."
“I’m not being considerate of you. I want you to accompany Brother Bo’an to the ranch to invite someone.” Lu Qingcheng sneered, “If you can’t invite that person, I’ll deduct all of your salary for this month.”
Kiyoshi immediately picked up the bowl and stuffed food into her mouth, muttering as she ate, "Eat more, I can't let my stomach suffer."
In the afternoon, Lu Qingcheng personally saw Cai Bo'an and his entourage off. The group included Cai Bo'an's younger brother Cai Zhonghe, Qing Jianyue, Cai Bo'an's capable assistant Fang Runmin, and ten close attendants. Also present were two beauties: Cai Bo'an's beloved wife, Cai Da Nainai, and Cai Da Nainai's younger sister.
Grandma Cai's given name was Zhou Yanni. Although she wasn't a stunning beauty, her dignified appearance, elegant manners, gentle charm, serene eyes, and considerate words all exuded a refined air. Her younger sister, Zhou Yanhua, was also a gentle and quiet woman with excellent manners and a pair of expressive eyes. When she looked at people with her watery gaze, she possessed an indescribable charm.
Kiyomi Tsuki stared intently at it, her mouth watering.
Cai Zhonghe cursed inwardly: "You brat, I never thought you were such a lecher. Humph, I really misjudged you."
After four maids and servants helped the two ladies into the carriage, Cai Zhonghe quickly took the horses from the servants and was about to mount. Suddenly, he heard Qing Jianyue shout, "Master, those two beautiful ladies are getting into the carriage!" Cai Zhonghe immediately missed his footing, thinking: Damn it, what is this brat trying to do?
He turned around angrily and saw Qing Jianyue tugging at Lu Qingcheng's sleeve, shouting, "The big food boxes they're carrying must be full of delicious food. I can smell the aroma. I'm not lying to you."
Lu Qingcheng glared at him with an annoyance, "Didn't you eat enough for lunch?"
Kiyomi Tsuki blinked and said, "I'm full."
