The boy is hard to handle

Chapter 23

That day, Xu Yu and Yao Shichu were in the front yard, and as soon as they saw Chang Wang approaching, they immediately started talking.

"Hey, have you seen Xiao Hong? It's been a long time since I saw her. She looks so graceful. If she hadn't greeted me just now, I almost wouldn't have recognized her. She's so beautiful."

Xu Yu deliberately raised his voice and said.

"Isn't it? That little face looks as white as if piled out of snow. Don't say you men like it when you see it, but even a woman like me can't look away when you see it."

After Yao Shichu finished speaking, he asked again——

"Did you see her just now?"

Xu Yu nodded——

"I saw it, but she didn't say where she was going, but I saw that she carried a big wooden tub, and she probably went to wash clothes in the hut in North Point."

"Hiss—" Yao Shichu gasped and shrank his neck, "It's so cold to wash clothes this day, and there's no hot water. That girl, Xiaohong, has delicate skin and tender flesh. When she finishes washing, her hands will be gone too." It’s definitely going to turn red from the cold, but don’t get frostbite, that’s really distressing.”

"That's right." Xu Yu echoed, "She doesn't know how to boil some hot water either."

"It's easy for you to say, can the nanny in the yard let me? If she wants hot water for her front feet, she can be trained for her back feet."

"That's right, then there is no other way, the cold can only be cold."

As soon as the two of them said this, Chang Wang's eyes on the side were obviously wrong. He put his hands in his sleeves, turned his body, and immediately accelerated his steps. Looking at the direction he was going, it should be North Point. wrong.

"Hey - how do you know he likes Xiaohong?" Yao Shichu raised his chin and turned his head to look at the hurried figure.

Xu Yu said with a smirk: "When he saw someone, his eyes were straightened. No matter how stupid I am, I can still see the sprouting of spring."

Yao Shichu shook his head——

"You are really hurt. I think that kid will suffer later."

"He has suffered on his own, and it is time for him to suffer." Xu Yu took out a handful of melon seeds from his cuff and handed them over, "Here—"

"what?"

"Let's watch a good show."

Here, Chang Wang heard what the two of them said, and ran to the hut in the north corner without stopping. Seeing that the doors and windows were closed and no one was around, he wanted to lie down in front of the window and take a look. It's terrible, there is no Xiaohong inside, it is clearly an old woman in charge of the fire room who is preparing to take a bath.

He was also unlucky, kicking over the bricks under his feet, alarming the people inside——

Nanny Song's typical fiery temper, how could she tolerate such promiscuous behavior, she chased her out with a wooden stick as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and immediately frightened Chang Wang to run around the yard. Nanny Song was already in her 50s. No matter how agile his legs were, he couldn't compare to young people. Seeing that he couldn't catch up with Chang Wang, he simply stopped chasing him and went straight to Steward Chang——

In the huge yard, all the servants were there, butler Chang lost his prestige for the first time, blushed and had a thick neck when Nanny Song said it, but he didn't dare to say anything back——

"Fortunately, my old lady hasn't taken off her clothes yet! If I take off my clothes, I have no place to reason!"

"Nurse Song, calm down—"

"Fortunately, this is me. What if this is another little girl! Butler Chang, you still want a daughter-in-law for nothing!"

Steward Chang had stayed in Xue's mansion for these years, and it was probably the first time he was reprimanded like this, and he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground.

Now they took sticks and looked for Chang Wang all over the yard——

"You little bastard! My reputation is ruined by you!"

"Father! Father!" Chang Wang was so frightened that he almost lost his wits, and his first reaction was to run.

"You still dare to run! You! You stop for me!"

Butler Chang was serious this time, he raised the stick in his hand and copied it.

Chang Wang didn't hide in time, and spanked his buttocks, and immediately screamed out of pain——

"Father! Listen to my explanation! I don't have one!"

"You still dare to quibble! Nanny Song caught you right! You still have face! Me! I won't beat you to death today! I'm not your old man!"

Immediately, the father and son started a chase in the yard.

It just so happened that Xue Yanrong came back from the outside at this moment, and he heard about it along the way. Not only did he step into the yard, Chang Wang rushed over, grabbed Xue Yanrong's trousers, and shouted——

"Second Master! Second Master, help me! My father is going to beat me to death!"

Xue Yanrong stared at the wooden stick with a thick bowl mouth, and was stunned for a moment. No one in the house knew that Steward Chang was a grown-up, and he loved Chang Wang so much that he wanted to put it on his heart. Even if he made a mistake, he had to be taught a lesson. It's just two kicks on the buttocks, meaning, how can it be like this, holding a stick for real——

"Chang Guanjia has something to say, Chang Wang is still young, just teach him slowly, if it breaks, it will be bad."

As soon as the words fell, Chang Wang looked at Yao Shichu and Xu Yu behind Xue Yanrong, and immediately stiffened his neck——

"Why are you here? Weren't you still in the yard just now?!"

Xu Yu had a smile on his face, and he was still chewing melon seeds——

"That said, of course we have to follow the second master."

Chang Wang said again: "Then how do you say you saw Xiao Hong go to the North Point?!"

Yao Shichu blinked——

"We're just guessing, and we're not sure."

Chang Wang is not an idiot, he understood right away, and immediately jumped up——

"You're messing with me on purpose!"

Yao Shichu didn't panic, instead he opened his eyes wide and pointed at Chang Wang——

"Don't slander the good guy, we haven't said that you climbed the corner to eavesdrop, but you beat him up first?!"

"I, I—" Chang Wang stammered, nodding or shaking his head.

Xu Yu suddenly clapped his hands——

"Oh! I see! So you like Xiaohong!"

Chang Wang's face instantly turned red like a monkey's butt.

Steward Chang on the side pulled Xue Yanrong's arm away——

"Second Master, don't try to persuade me today, I just spoil him too much! Today I must beat him! Let him have a long memory!"

Although Xue Yanrong is the master, he can't control the matter of his father beating his son. Looking at Chang Wang screaming at the top of his voice, it must be thunder and rain, and he is half a child. Even if his butt blooms, he will be fine for two days up.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, he followed them.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Yu couldn't help laughing out loud, causing Yao Shichu to laugh too.

Xue Yanrong didn't even raise her eyelids——

"Did the two of you do it? It's really bad! Nanny Song in the fire room is famous for her violent temper. Chang Wang is in a bad situation this time. Today is fifteen years old, and he was beaten so badly at the end of the year. Looking back I'm afraid I won't even enjoy the Lantern Festival."

Xu Yu raised his chin and said, "My lord really underestimated him. Even if his butt is blooming, he can still eat Yuanxiao."

"That child should be taught well, otherwise he won't be an adult." Yao Shichu brought hot tea and put it in Xue Yanrong's hand, and asked again: "Will you go out later?"

"No more." Xue Yanrong shook his head, looking a little tired, and stretched out his hand to pinch the center of his eyebrows, "Tong Wen both had some wine just now, and now I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep first Wait a while, call me later."

Yao Shichu nodded, followed Xue Yanrong into the bedroom, and after spreading out the quilt, he asked again: "Are you going out that night? It is said that there will be dragon and phoenix lanterns outside."

Xue Yanrong yawned——

"The lanterns are put on every year. If you look around, it's just like that. There's nothing new about it. It's just for fun, so I won't go."

"It is said that it is released every year, but how have you seen it every year? They all leave on the fifth day of the lunar new year. The taste of the New Year outside the customs is not enough. It is hard to get free this year, and you are too lazy to go out."

Xue Yanrong lifted the quilt and lay down——

"Go with Xu Yu, and take my part to see."

After finishing speaking, Xue Yanrong stood up again and asked——

"Hey, I haven't left this time until now. What's going on with grandma and second uncle?"

Yao Shichu paused, then said——

"There's nothing going on at the old lady's place, but the second master will let Zhu Yuan come over from time to time to have a look. Xu Yu and I have met several times in the past two days."

Xue Yanrong pulled the pillow and let out a long sigh of relief——

"Second uncle really hasn't learned anything about grandma's temperament that is stable in Mount Tai. I haven't told him to stay, so he can't sit still. If I know this, I won't leave in the future. Not sure how to jump the Benzi."

"Then when are you going to say it? After today is over, the year will be over."

"No rush—" Xue Yanrong closed his eyes, "We'll wait until they lose their temper."

Xue Yanrong slept until [-] o'clock in the evening, if he hadn't been going to Shun'an Hall to eat Yuanxiao today, he might not be able to wake up now.

"What did you say? Qin's mother called me?" Xue Yanrong washed his eyes with tea, and then flicked the tea off his fingers. "It's strange, when will grandma come to call me?"

"Isn't that right? When Qin's mother came, I was taken aback for a moment." Yao Shichu tied Xue Yanrong's collar and frowned, "Brother, isn't it the Hongmen Banquet?"

Xue Yanrong raised the corners of his mouth, with a look of indifference, he smiled and said——

"If it's really a Hongmen Banquet, then I'll go and have a look."

"Second Master! At this time, you should stop joking."

Seeing Yao Shichu's nervous expression, Xue Yanrong reached out and patted her on the shoulder——

"Raise your eyebrows, such a trivial matter won't matter, even if it's a Hongmen banquet, I'm not afraid, they will eat me if they have the ability, otherwise I'll take them for dinner."

"Oh, please keep your voice down, Mother Qin is at the door." Yao Shichu turned his head and looked out.

"What are you afraid of!" Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows and shook his head, "If she has the guts, she will sue and see how I deal with her!"

"Yes, yes, you are the most powerful." Yao Shichu put the warm hat on her head.

"You don't believe me?" Xue Yanrong stared, and said with a half-smile, "I'm really going to make me anxious, this big family, don't make it easy for anyone!"

Yao Shichu's eyes froze for a moment, but then a smile appeared on his face——

"Second Master is like this, it's really reassuring."

"That's not!"

As soon as she left the door, Qin's mother greeted her, first bowed, and then said aloud——

"The old lady has been talking about Brother Rong for a long time. She said that you loved to eat Yuanxiao when you were a child. Now the kitchen specially made sweet rose sesame and peanut stuffing, candied orange peel stuffing and salty chicken and peanut stuffing. Son, I'm just waiting for you to pass by."

"Really?" Xue Yanrong smiled, "It's hard to worry about grandma, so I have to go there quickly."

When Qin's mother turned around, the smile on Xue Yanrong's face immediately subsided. Thinking about it carefully, I didn't remember when I loved to eat Yuanxiao, but I bothered her to miss it.

When we arrived at Shun'an Hall, we found that the people from the second room had already arrived.

Xue Yanrong naturally sat with his mother Zheng Junqing, looked up, but found that Xue Huaiqiu would look at him from time to time, and there seemed to be something flickering in his eyes, quite calculating.

Looking at the extremely enthusiastic grandmother today, Xue Yanrong rubbed the jade ring on his thumb, thinking in his heart——

Probably going to sing again today.

"How is it? Is this stuffed with rose and sesame seeds to your liking?" The old lady smiled kindly at Xue Yanrong.

"Very good, thank you grandma for loving me." Xue Yanrong nodded.

"As long as you like to eat, I remember that when you were young, this was what you loved the most."

After Lu's words, he raised his hand again, "However, you have always had the problem of accumulating food, even if it is delicious, you must not be greedy."

"Grandmother don't worry, grandson knows."

Xue Yanrong immediately put down the bowl, she naturally wouldn't eat more, because she never liked Yuanxiao.

As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon——

Sure enough, as soon as the bowls and chopsticks were removed from the table, the corresponding cakes were served——

Lu suddenly changed his face——

Involuntarily scolded Xue Huaiqiu first.

"There are a lot of people today, so don't blame me for saving your face. If I don't hit you with a few words, I'm afraid a good deal will fall into your hands!"

Xue Huaiqiu lowered his head——

"What the mother scolded was that the son knew."

"Hey - if you are half of your elder brother, I won't worry about it, but your elder brother left early."

Mrs. Lu sighed, "Don't meddle in the matter of the shantang from now on. Leave it to Brother Rong to do it, and leave it to the boss. Yan Rong has more experience in this area than you."

After that, he paused again——

"I know that you have put a lot of thought into this philanthropic book. You must be unhappy if I do this, but don't worry, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh, and I won't treat him or you badly. The cloth shop on the street, you can take care of it, but I said ugly things before, this time you still can't do it well! Then you don't enter the door of Xue's house again in the future! I just pretend that there is no son like you! "

"Yes, my son knows, mother, please calm down."

Seeing the mother and son singing together, it is clear that they are acting.

Zheng Jun on the side suddenly clenched her fingers. She has always taken care of this cloth village. She has worked hard for so many years and has never had any troubles. How can she just give it a word!

Immediately, his face sank, and he was about to refute, but Xue Yanrong held the back of his hand——

I saw Xue Yanrong staring down at the Eight Treasures Tea in front of him, and said——

"That's just right, it just so happens that my mother is not in good health, so I have less toil."

Then he looked up at Xue Huaiqiu——

"Thank you, Second Uncle, for sharing your worries."

As soon as Mrs. Lu saw it, he immediately went downhill, with a happy smile——

"It's all a family, thank you for what to do, no thanks, no thanks."

Zheng Junqing was so angry that her chest hurt, and she didn't want to see Lu Shi and Xue Huaiqiu at this moment——

"My daughter-in-law is unwell and wants to go back first."

Naturally, Mrs. Lu knew that she was upset, but she didn't take it seriously, and nodded——

"Then go back."

Zheng Junqing gritted her teeth——

"Yan Rong, you go back with me!"

"Yes."

Lu Shi only cared about talking to Xue Yanchao, and simply waved his hands at their mother and son, even if it was an agreement, it seemed that he wished that they would leave quickly, so as not to disturb the family happiness between her and the second room.

Ye Shanrong watched Zheng Junqing and Xue Yanrong leave, took advantage of Lu's not paying attention, and moved to Xue Huaiqiu's side, and said without moving the corners of his mouth——

"You are really capable. I almost thought just now that the old lady is going to come for real."

Xue Huaiqiu grinned——

"That's my mother. Even if you don't stand by me, my mother won't."

Ye Shanrong held up the wine glass and sent it to Xue Huaiqiu——

"You have the ability, whatever you say is up to you."

Zheng Junqing walked quickly along the way, and as soon as he came back to the yard, there was a sound of cursing——

"Why did you stop me just now! That cloth village was left to me by your father! Now she just gives it to me if she says a word! Could it be possible to slip away by treating our mother and son as fools?!

She thinks that I don't know anything if I don't step out of the door in this room? !

That shantang is now a mess!I got screwed up by Xue Huaiqiu, so I'll let you clean it up!Talk about it!There is absolutely no reason for this! "

"Mother calm down." Xue Yanrong brought over tea.

However, Zheng Junqing couldn't hold back his breath, and dropped the teacup heavily on the table, his eyes seemed to be about to burst into flames!

"Don't think that I don't know what crooked idea your grandmother is playing! Leave the mess to you, clean it up, and let Xue Huaiqiu make money after you leave, if you can't clean it up, if something goes wrong, you can help him Actually, co-authors don't have to bear any responsibility!

It's really a good plan!If they all forgot, I still have a daughter who is a concubine in the palace, and sometimes I should use this to suppress them!Otherwise, they really think that our mother and son are easy to bully! "

Xu Shi was furious and spoke too hastily, at this moment Zheng Junqing couldn't stop coughing——

"Cough-cough-cough-"

"Mother—" Xue Yanrong quickly stroked Zheng Junqing's back, and picked up the tea again, "Mother, why should you be mad at yourself for them, drink some water first, and moisten yourself."

After Zheng Junqing drank some tea and breathed a little more calmly, Xue Yanrong spoke slowly——

"My mother is angry about this matter, but there is nothing I can do about it. Grandma is now exchanging things for things. Even if you want to reason, there is no reason."

"How can there be no excuses! That shantang is a rotten place! This is no exchange of one thing for another! It's a clear robbery!"

"Mother, it depends on who's going to die. You know the second uncle. His eyes are full of nothing but money. He is not a good manager at all. When Benshantang gave him, How prosperous it is, what's going on now, if it's not messed up by him, what do you think will happen to Buzhuang in his hands?

I will give it to him as I see it. Although we feel uncomfortable, we will not be angry. Besides, I will stay in Beijing in the future. No matter how beautiful grandma thinks, she can only think about it. "

"That being said, do you know how many bad debts there are in Benshantang? Also, if the cloth village is ruined by your second uncle again, will you still have to clean up the mess for him?"

Xue Yanrong narrowed his eyes——

"Mother, don't be impatient. Things have to be done little by little. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, and then trust me and leave it to me."

Zheng Junqing suddenly looked up, and saw Xue Yanrong's calm and calm face, as if he didn't seem to be in the slightest bit of impatience——

"you--"

"Mother, I promise you, no matter what it is, be it Benshantang or Buzhuang, even the entire Xue Mansion, in the end it can only be ours."

Zheng Junqing felt the strength from Xue Yanrong's palm on her shoulder, and for the first time, she no longer looked at her like a mother looks at a child——

I don't know when, my child has grown into an adult who can take care of himself, even the head of the family.

Zheng Junqing's disturbed mood gradually calmed down——

"I've always had an accountant in Buzhuang, and he's the one who helps me with the bills on weekdays. Your grandma and the others don't know about this person. I put him in quietly. I'll call him tomorrow. Look, if you feel If you can use it, I will use it for you."

Xue Yanrong nodded——

"Okay, now it's time to employ someone. Since she is the mother, she must be reliable, so the son will accept it."

Afterwards, the mother and son said some more thoughtful words before Xue Yanrong came out of the room with his hands behind his back——

"Ningdong."

"Second Lord—"

"Prepare a bowl of soothing soup for mother later."

"The servant knows."

The author says:

I wish you all a Happy New Year--
