There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Xiao Xiao followed behind Wu Xu, ran over as soon as she saw Wu Youwei, stood behind him, and complained: "They still want to enter the main room, but I won't let you!"

In this small courtyard, Wu Youwei represents Wu Youwei. He said he would not let them in, but the two regular attendants who got up early in the morning to guard the gate really didn't let them in.

However, they opened the warehouse and went in to search through it. This made Wu Xu, who was in charge, feel insulted. Did the master think he embezzled the little master's things?

He asked the butler, but the butler didn't say a word, he was so angry!

So as soon as Wu Youwei came back, he complained to the young master, and now everyone privately said that the ones that were sold were bought by the young master's classmates, and among those people, there was the butler who loved him the most. What about the youngest son and eldest granddaughter.

As for the situation of the butler, everyone knows that the young master is holding the butler in his hands.

That's why Wu Xu felt that the little master could control the butler, because he rummaged through things this morning, but he didn't mess up those things.

You must know that Sujin is most afraid of being treated roughly, and it would be a big deal if a piece is scratched. Although the things in the warehouse are not under his control, the yard is under his control.

Something really happened, he was afraid that the little master would settle accounts with him.

"What are you doing in the main room?" Wu Youwei asked the housekeeper.

The butler had something to say this time: "The little one didn't let anyone enter the main room? That's the main room, what are we going in for?"

In general, one cannot enter the main room without the owner's permission, especially the little master's place, the place is small, the study room and the bedroom are separated by a living room, and at most a green gauze cabinet can be added, which is very small.

The size of the distance, can only put a charcoal basin to keep warm, not even a stove.

Xiao Xiao pointed to the bearded guard who was one of the six guards behind the housekeeper and said: "It's him, he wants to go in, but the little one doesn't let him, he still wants to beat Xiao Xiao!"

The housekeeper immediately understood that this bearded man was the son of the old lady's dowry. Both his father and mother were the heads of the Zhuangzi that the old lady married. nursing home.

The old lady usually asked him to follow the master to protect the master. He didn't pay attention to the darkness early in the morning. Unexpectedly, he followed him. Where did he come to find a thief?This is to find fault!

Wu Youwei walked to the nursing home with square steps: "You want to enter the main room of my little master?"

"The small one is for the safety of the young master." The bearded nurse was quite stubborn.

"My safety? You gave me money, and broke into my main house for my safety?" Wu Youwei frowned: "Why is it for my safety? I didn't carry the money?"

"There are thieves in the house, I'm afraid they're hiding in your main room, so you must take a look!" The bearded man still felt reasonable: "The small door [even the dog hole] has been checked.

"Didn't you check it last night?" Wu Youwei asked the housekeeper, "Why, you didn't bring me money, but to catch thieves?"

"No, no, no!" The steward denied it categorically, "I'm here to give you money, not to catch a thief, that thief...that thief...has already been caught.

The bearded nurse seemed to remember something, and shut up.

He shut up and didn't speak, Wu Youwei didn't intend to let him go, this nursing home seemed to have a backer, and it was very reckless, it was the best breakthrough.

There is such a nursing home that is hostile to him. He doesn't want to be in the mansion and cannot guarantee his own safety. He is worried about such a person. They are at odds, he is also the master, not anyone who wants to bully can bully, the people who can bully him can only be a few who are also masters.

So he raised his hand and quickly brushed the beard of the bearded nurse.

For a man with a beard, it really hurts to pluck it all at once!

"Ouch!" The bearded nurse wanted to raise his hand and hit him.

But how could Wu Youwei let him hit him?

"Is this beard real?" Wu Youwei patted a strand of beard on his hand: "Could it be that a thief put on a beard to pretend to be one of us?"

"Nonsense!" The bearded nurse's eyes were red, and he didn't know whether it was pain or anxiety: "The little beard is real, really! The little one is not a thief!"

"It's not a thief, why did you break into my main room? Besides, didn't my brother already say that the thief caught him and locked him in the woodshed, and you still want to protect my safety?" Wu Youwei asked with these words. He: "I'm not safe in my own house anymore?" "No, no, the young master is serious, serious!" The housekeeper hurriedly explained: "You are in your own home, how could you be in danger? How can you say that so embarrassingly to the master?" Nah!" "How can you be so affectionate?" Wu Youwei sneered: "Early in the morning, when I asked An to come back, I found that a nursing home dared to break into my little master's main room. How could he be so sympathetic? How could I be so sympathetic?" The housekeeper was very unlucky, and he didn't want to come to find fault with others early in the morning, there was no way!

The master said that he was afraid that the thief had accomplices, and the master lost a jade ornament the size of a plate, engraved with a picture of wind, flowers, snow and moon.

The overall shape of jade is round, which represents the moon.

There are white dots floating inside, representing snow.

Wintersweet, which is formed naturally on jade, represents flowers.

A few plum blossoms are falling one after another, representing the wind.

Together it is the "wind, flower, snow and moon map".

The precious thing about this jade ornament is that these patterns are formed naturally, so they were polished into the shape of a full moon. They were placed on the Duobao Pavilion in the master's study before, but now they are gone!

The butler knew about this jade ornament. It was said that it was one of the family heirlooms of the Wu family.

That thing is not big or small, and it can't be taken and put away casually, so I searched the whole mansion. I have searched all the servants' rooms in the middle of the night, and now I want to search the little master's yard.

It's just that things didn't go smoothly, not to mention catching the thief, but the thing was never found. The little master's place is not big, so he can clear it up with just one look.

If you want him to say, why does the master bother so much?

Wu Youwei couldn't explain clearly when he saw him faltering, let alone explain clearly, so he stopped talking to him, and took his own people directly to the front yard to find Wu Jun.

The main courtyard is different from the cross courtyard. Wu Youwei has been there several times in the memory of the original owner. The courtyard is large, with doors on the left, right, front, back, and front. The front is facing the direction of the big i], and the east is the road to Wu Ying. , the back is the road leading to the backyard, and the west is the place leading to Wu Youwei, but unfortunately, this road is mostly used by servants.

And because it is the front of the Wu family, the door of this place is watched all day long, even at night, there are servants who watch the night.

Early this morning, the gatekeepers here were two young servants, both the sons of Wu Junchang, who were stunned when they saw Wu Youwei.

little master?

Why are you here?

"Little master." The two of them were okay, they were not rude, they bent down to say hello to Wu Youwei.

"Well, is brother in there?" Although Wu Youwei was talking, he walked in without pausing.

"Here, please let Xiao Xiao go and report..." If you don't dare to stop anyone, you have to report quickly.

"I'll just wait for brother in the living room." Wu Youwei didn't just stand in the yard waiting stupidly, he wanted to wait in a warm room.

It's so cold outside, waiting here, do you want to be frozen?

The living room for receiving guests is one of the best places in the Wu Mansion. It faces south, with mahogany furniture and chairs all over the place. There is a picture of "Longsu Suburban People" hanging in the main hall.

Wu Youwei narrowed his eyes.

This "Picture of Longsu Suburbs" depicts the scene of people living in the foothills of the riverside celebrating festivals.

This picture is dominated by mountains. The two big mountains on the right occupy most of the picture, and there are alum heads on the top of the mountains.

The water surface at the foot of the mountain is wide, the stream is winding, and the trees are densely forested.People at the foot of the mountain hung lanterns on the top of the trees, and there were two boats by the stream with colored flags on them. Dozens of people lined up from the shore and the boats together, as if they were performing a celebratory song and dance.There are one or two pedestrians dotted on the road down the mountain, seeming to be on their way or visiting.

The intention of this picture should be to express the comfort and joy of life of the people living in the elegant Jiangnan landscape.

Wu Youwei savored it carefully, the Wu family's heart is not small!

Hanging such a painting in the hall of my house is very artistic.

There is a couplet hanging on both sides:

Xiushan Qingyu Qingshanxiu

cedar drum wind cooper incense

It goes well with this "Picture of Longsu Suburbs".

Wu Jun was thinking about something in the study, why did that thief break into the backyard?

Ordinary thieves know that the backyard is more guarded than the front yard, and the front yard also has a place to put money, and the precautions are not strict. If you take the money, you will withdraw. Ordinary thieves follow this rule.

How is this thief different?

What's more, their family is observing filial piety, and even the lanterns are white lanterns, and the white flags haven't been removed yet.

To put it bluntly, isn't that thief afraid of being discouraged?

Just as he was thinking about it, the steward of his yard came: "Master, the little master is in the living room, looking for you.

"Him?" Wu Jun was puzzled, "Why did he ask me?"

It wasn't long before the two broke up, and usually they really "have no contact with each other". After his father died, the chances for the two of them to meet became less and less. In the past three months, they only met when they greeted each other on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year. What's the matter, do you have to come to your door?

Could it be the 200 taels of silver?

Or is it for the people who give money?

"Let him wait a moment, I'll go see him." Wu Jun thought that Wu Youwei had never seen so much money at one time when he was so old. He would give it to him at this time. New Year's money.

In the past, the old man paid the money to make a face for Maid Wu, but now that the old man is gone, how much money can he have?

I'm afraid money is tight during the Chinese New Year, right?

Wu Youwei was still observing the living room of the Wu Mansion when Wu Jun arrived.

Seeing Wu Youwei, Wu Jun had a rare smile: "Is there something you need to do to see Brother Wei?

"Brother sent me 200 taels of silver early this morning?" Wu Youwei asked for the money as soon as he opened his mouth. After all, it was Wu Jun's gesture of favor, so he had to mention it.

"Oh, isn't it the New Year's Eve? You're living a poor life. I'll give you some cash, so you can relax your hand..." Wu Jun pointed out.

He also wanted to understand. He gave Wu Youwei 200 taels. Wu Youwei would at least give his children New Year's money during the Chinese New Year. He can still sell Wu Maid a favor.

As for the incidental matter of sending money, he really didn't take it to heart.

"Thank you, brother, but, brother, the security situation in the mansion is not very good!" When Wu Youwei spoke, he also meant something.

He didn't know what to say, so he just waited for Wu Jun to guess.

When people have ghosts in their hearts, their brains will be wide open, and he can think of everything he cares about most, especially Wu Jun's reaction last night, which was very nervous.

really!

Wu Jun suddenly thought of something, and his face changed: "The security in the mansion has always been good, it's just a small thief.

"However, you sent a housekeeper to give me 200 taels of silver, but there were several nurses escorting me. A bearded nurse said it was for safety's sake?" Break into my main room!"

"What?" Wu Jun immediately understood that this was not to thank him, but to question him, because the tone and attitude were wrong.

The main house is their private territory, and people are generally not allowed to enter and leave at will, let alone it is a nursing home.

The bearded nurse, he remembered this person, he had a lot of strength, and his skills were okay, but he was not very good. In private, the nurses didn't like him very much because of his relationship.
