Why are you so anxious?

Jun Shaoyou entered the yard surrounded by Qiufu and a few little maids. The chirping voices of the little maids naturally alarmed Mother Chen who was still waiting in the side hall.Hastily put down the cup in her hand, Mother Chen straightened her clothes, her hair on her temples, and went out to pay her respects: "My maidservant greets Mr. Wulang."

Jun Shaoyou looked at the lowered, humble and obedient mother Chen in front of him with a smile that was not a smile, and said with a smile: "It's so late, mother Chen is not serving in front of the wife, what are you doing in my lavish courtyard?"

Mother Chen apologized with a smile: "I would like to apologize to Mr. Wulang. In the morning, I was not eloquent and offended Mr. Wulang. I hope Mr. Lang will have a lot of them. Forgive some of them."

Jun Shaoyou sneered, stood still in the courtyard casually, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Mother Chen must not have meant what Madam Chen said today, right?"

Mother Chen blushed, knowing that Jun Shaoyou was mocking her for pretending to be a master in front of him.Then he bowed his head to see the sin and said: "The old slave is deceived by lard, so I will never dare to do it again."

After finishing speaking, he looked around again at the little maids surrounded by him, hesitant to speak.

Jun Shaoyou chuckled, knowing that courteous people must ask for something, and the ultimate purpose of Chen's mother making such a play was just for the two words at noon.Regarding her attitude of being arrogant and respectful, Jun Shaoyou was as thoughtful as a mirror, but he didn't care much.However, with his experience, it is not worthwhile to deal seriously with the servants at home, and just say a few words to beat and beat.If he continued to toss about it, it would mean that he was being petty.

Immediately waved his hands, Jun Shaoyou said with a smile on his face like a spring breeze: "Mother Chen is an old man in front of my wife. She sets an example for the servants in the family. It is always good to be well-behaved. It's just our family's rules, which have been ordered by the elders for a long time. After all, this person is more decent than the other servants. Mother Chen has been with his wife for more than ten years, and she has worked hard without credit, and it is reasonable to boast of her own merits occasionally. Such a serious apology makes Shaoyou feel at a loss."

Mother Chen was just a girl bought by her family in a famine year, she was able to stand out from all the children in the family and gain Yang Daimei's trust and respect.Hearing Jun Shaoyou's words, he immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Lang's words are serious. A slave is a slave, and a master is a master. Although this old slave has served Madam for many years, that is the duty of an old slave." How can you be arrogant and disrespect your master because of this, let alone make people speculate on how your husband and wife will be. This slave really respects your husband. If you cause trouble to your husband because of this incident, wouldn’t you be angry? no?"

Jun Shaoyou smiled and said, "Mother Chen has a clear mind and can know three things from one smell. She is indeed the most proud person in front of Madam."

In the previous life, Jun Shaoyou didn't know how to be dirty in the back house, and he only reprimanded the servant dog at home when he looked down on others. After that, the news that Jun Shaoyou and his aunt had a disagreement spread in the mansion for no reason.

In this life, Jun Shaoyou took precautions, first threatened and then beat, presumably Chen's mother would see the situation clearly and know what to do to be better for herself.

Ignoring Mother Chen who was standing there, bowing and smiling, Jun Shaoyou turned and entered the room.Mother Chen hesitated for a moment, then followed in.Seeing Qiufu approaching with a tea set, she immediately reached out to take it and put it on the table.He personally twisted a brocade handkerchief and handed it to Jun Shaoyou, saying: "The weather is hot and humid, Mr. Lang wiped his sweat to cool off the heat."

Jun Shaoyou thanked with a smile: "Thank you, mother."

Then he turned to Qiufu and said, "Mama, please sit down."

Qiufu obliged, and told the little girl to bring a little scorpion over.Mother Chen pleaded guilty again and again, and then she sat down timidly.Opening his mouth with a flattering smile, he said, "I don't know if Mr. Lang is free, but I want to say a few words to Mr. Lang."

Jun Shaoyou knew that it was almost time for her to hang out, so he waved his hand to signal Qiu Fu and others to step back.When there were only the two of them left in the room, Mother Chen slid down from the cot, knelt on the ground, and begged tearfully, "Please save me, Mr. Wulang."

Jun Shaoyou knew it well, but he asked with great surprise on his face: "What are you doing, mother? You are an old man who has always been old, and you are the first-class proud person in front of your wife. I can't bear to act like this." live."

Immediately leaned over, as if to help Chen's mother up.

Mother Chen knew that since Jun Shaoyou was willing to mediate with her for half a day, it must be because she didn't mean to expose the matter.He also thought that if Jun Shaoyou could say such a sentence at that time, he must have got accurate news.Then he turned his heart and said directly: "So that the Lord knows. My wife is favored by my wife, and I can help my wife manage her dowry shop..."

Speaking of this, I'm so stingy, I don't know how to continue.

Jun Shaoyou was amused in his heart, and said directly: "I heard from the old man at home that my wife has experienced wars and turmoil earlier, and she has suffered a lot and suffered a lot of crimes. , so it is reasonable to put more emphasis on money. However, since Madam can hand over her dowry shop to Steward Feng, she must value Mama Chen very much. This is Mama Chen's blessing."

Mother Chen smiled wryly.It was originally her blessing, but if Madam found out that her man was enriching his own pockets while running the shop and hiding it secretly, I'm afraid it would not be her blessing.

Mother Chen shuddered when she thought that the manager before Feng Wu was sent to the government in a rage by his wife because of the ink corruption incident, and the whole family was sold to work in the bitter cold area of ​​Northwest China.He kowtowed again and again and said, "Please also ask Mr. Wulang to save me."

Don't let Madam know that Feng Wu has stolen her income and secretly opened a shop in Jinchangfang.

Jun Shaoyou helped him up, and said with a smile: "I have no grievances or enmity with Mother Chen, so naturally I won't talk too much. Besides, I have already married according to the decree, and I will leave the Duke Huguo's mansion in a few months. At this time, I can't get along with my mother. Does my mother think so?"

Mother Chen's eyes flickered, she pondered for a moment, and asked, "May I ask Mr. Lang if you have something to tell this old servant?"

Jun Shaoyou chuckled, once again admiring Mother Chen's knowledge of current affairs.He didn't hide it, and simply said: "For so many years, I have been weak and sick, lingering on the sick bed, I know what's going on, and Mama Chen must also know what's going on. I have nothing else to ask, I just want me to go away Afterwards, Mother Chen will be able to take care of Aunt Shen for a little while, and take care of my mother with all my heart as a son of man."

Mother Chen's heart was relieved. Although Jun Shaoyou's request was a bit troublesome, it was not too embarrassing for her.Immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang, as long as there are slaves in the house, Aunt Shen will definitely not make mistakes."

Mother Chen's words were a bit frivolous, at first glance, it seemed that a servant girl of hers was more powerful than her master, and she could boast so much.But Jun Shaoyou, who has experienced the previous life, knows that Mother Chen is not lying at all.In this mansion where the master only cares about the outside and does not care about the family, and the mistress values ​​Chen’s mother very much, this old servant can really do what she boasted——as long as she is willing, she will definitely be able to keep Shen Qingmian safe and sound.

Jun Shaoyou smiled and said, "So, I'm sorry for the trouble, mom."

After pondering for a while, he added with a smile: "Actually, I have a plan in mind, I just want to trouble Mama Chen for a year. Mama Chen only needs to work hard for this year, and then she doesn't need to worry about it."

The implication is that after a year, Jun Shaoyou will definitely be able to arrange Shen Qingmian properly.Whether it's taking her out of the Duke Protector's Mansion or other arrangements...

Mother Chen blinked her eyes and weighed herself again.Perhaps, this Lord Wulang, who was so obsessed with King Yong'an and insisted on marrying him, really has the capital to fight against his wife.Anyway, his own handle has been grasped in the hands of others.Rather than being unwilling to be ruled by others, it is better to take this opportunity to confess, so that Jun Shaoyou can also accept his feelings.

Thinking of this, Mother Chen immediately said: "Mr. Lang is married to Yong'an Palace this time. Although the prince is infatuated with you at this time, it is difficult to guarantee a long-term relationship. If he falls in love with another girl one day, Mr. Lang is a man. If you can’t conceive an heir, you will have a hard time in the future.”

"What Mother Chen said is very true." Hearing what Mother Chen said, Jun Shaoyou was a little confused about what she meant.

I just heard Chen's mother continue to say: "Mr. Lang doesn't know. This woman is different from a man. When a woman marries into her husband's family, her husband will not be able to count on her after a long time. The first thing is to have children, and the second is the support of her mother's family. The third is the generous dowry. As a man, the first one cannot be fulfilled naturally. But the second and third... the slave is still sure to help him."

After finishing speaking, Mother Chen puffed out her chest proudly, and said with a little restraint: "It's not that the old slave is boasting, the old slave can still say a few words in front of the madam. If the old slave persuades the madam a little more In other words, for the sake of long-term planning, madam will definitely help Lang Jun to be reused in Yong'an Palace. Then it will be much more convenient for Lang Jun to do things."

In Chen's view, showing favor to others is no different from doing business.Both parties should clearly mark the price and talk about the truth.It is not something Chen's mother would do to do good deeds without leaving a name.Whenever she does something, she always expects others to appreciate it.

Jun Shaoyou was stunned and laughed.What Chen's mother said was based on the fact that he was valued by others in Yong'an Palace.In the world, it is always easy to add flowers to the mountains. Jun Shaoyou has seen a lot of people like Chen's mother in his previous life.When you are proud, you will surround you and pretend to be loyal and share weal and woe, and you will do things for you.But once you get frustrated and lose that day, these people are the first to withdraw.It's not uncommon for Jun Shaoyou to turn his back on others and see them fall into trouble.

It is the nature of the world to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Jun Shaoyou has already seen it through his whole life.Therefore, he didn't feel that Chen's mother was in a bad mood.People live a lifetime of vegetation and autumn, and people have to make plans for themselves.There are very few people who can put themselves in danger for others.Thinking in another way, Jun Shaoyou may not be able to do this, so don't do to others what you don't want.Naturally, he would not ask others to do something that Jun Shaoyou was unlikely to do.

It's just that we have to look at this kind of people clearly.Don't expect too much from them.

Sima Qian once said: The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world's hustle and bustle is for profit.Generally speaking, a gentleman regards his colleagues as friends, and a villain regards the same interests as his friends.Jun Shaoyou thinks he is not a gentleman, so he might as well act like a villain in this matter.Just regard Mother Chen in front of her as an ally of interests, and she can collude with her when she is ordered, and just be on guard when she is not ordered.

Thinking of this, Jun Shaoyou rolled his eyes, and smiled earnestly, "So, I'm going to trouble Mother Chen again."

Seeing Jun Shaoyou's sudden change of color, Chen's mother knew that her overtures would eventually pay off, so she repeatedly waved her hands and said, "No trouble, no trouble, absolutely no trouble."

Intentionally developing Mama Chen as his collaborator, Jun Shaoyou had to think a little bit about Mama Chen's situation.When she came here today, she was worried about the future, so it was inevitable that there would be omissions.But Jun Shaoyou knew that Mother Chen was the role of a think tank to Yang Daimei, and he was focused on alienating the relationship between Yang Daimei and Mother Chen, waiting for the two to bite the dog, and did not order the servants to restrain themselves.Presumably, the news that Chen's mother was lying low in the courtyard as a child had spread by now.I'm afraid Yang Dai's eyebrows have a gap in her heart.

Jun Shaoyou thought about it, so he told his mother Chen about his guess.But seeing Mother Chen's reserved face, she said complacently: "Please don't worry, sir. This old servant has served Madam for more than ten years, and he understands Madam's temperament best. This old slave is confident that he can dispel Madam's doubts, and will definitely not delay Langjun's future. big event."

Jun Shaoyou smiled slightly, since Mother Chen was confident, he didn't have to think too much about it.Zuo is just a pawn placed next to Yang Daimei, it is very useful if it is useful, if it is not useful, there is no delay.It doesn't hurt to see Mother Chen's scheming with this matter.

In the spirit of reciprocity, Jun Shaoyou pretended to be considerate and said: "Mother Chen has always been cautious in her actions, so I naturally don't worry about it. I just need to remind my mother. Sister Ying is on the side. If she hears something for a while, and she thinks of something based on what mother did at night, she will talk to Madam. Although Mother Chen doesn't care about these small things, it will be difficult after all."

When Chen's mother heard this, a stern look flashed in her eyes.

Jun Shaoyou chuckled secretly.In his previous life, because of Chunying's obviously different friendly attitude from others, he always treated this person differently and more gracefully.But in the end, I learned from the spies that it seems that Shen Qingmian's matter of asking doctors and medicines has been left to Chun Ying to handle Yang Daimei's full authority...

Jun Shaoyou turned the ring on his thumb calmly.In this life, if he wanted to ensure that Shen Qingmian was safe and sound, he had to feel sorry for this gentle and virtuous "Sister Chunying".
