[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade
Chapter 41 (1)
Brother Xun had been at Brother Ai's side early, smiling hard at him, Brother Ai only paid attention to the weirdness that Shen Ren was watching, and didn't care to look at him, which made Brother Xun a little disappointed.But in front of Shen Ren, he didn't dare to let go as he did in front of Fang's alone, so he tightly held Brother Ai's sleeve.
Feeling that his sleeves were a bit heavy, Brother Ai turned his gaze to Brother Xun, and saw that the boy was smiling forcefully at himself.Knowing that he was guilty of accusing himself of being black again yesterday, Brother Ai gave him a cold face, and successfully made the boy bow his head and dare not look at him again, but the hands on the sleeves did not loosen.
Shen Ren put down the letter paper, and watched the interaction between the two brothers in a good mood. This time, he did not favor Brother Xun, but only looked at Fang Shi, still smiling slightly.Mrs. Fang asked puzzledly: "But what did Mr. Li say to make the second master happy, so happy?"
The smile on Shen Ren's face hasn't been put away since he read the letter. When he heard Fang asked himself, he handed the letter directly to her. Fang looked amused as he looked at it, and waved to Brother Ai: "Is there any news today?" What do you want to eat?"
Brother Xun raised his head in disbelief: "I want to eat braised elbow."
"I didn't ask you, I asked your brother." Fang also had a smile on his face, but that smile was a bit meaningful.
Brother Ai found out that the couple was weird, but he didn't know that Mr. Li had already sold him. Looking at Brother Xun's little face that was about to cry, and Fang's belly that was showing a little, he sighed in his heart. in one breath.Forget it, I have already been ignored by others, this kid doesn't have such a strong heart as myself, if he is neglected and becomes autistic, he will be in trouble.
"Braised elbows are pretty good too." Brother Ai said indifferently.
After hearing this, Fang Shi and Shen Ren looked at each other, with a gratified smile inside, pulled Ai Geer over, rubbed him well, and made Ai Geer feel goosebumps layer after layer :"grandmother."
Mrs. Fang looked more happily: "You have always been unwilling to get close to others. I always thought it was a natural weird temper. In addition, you are calmer than adults, so you always think that you start things early. Little do I know that in my heart, It hurts more than Brother Xun. At such a young age, because he is the eldest son, he has more responsibilities than him..." As he spoke, he became sad, and his eyes were red.
Such a sudden and emotional Fang family made Brother Ai ignore her discomfort, and persuaded her: "I know grandma loves me, but grandma can't take care of me because of Brother Xun. It's not because of this discomfort, grandma is now Now that you have a younger sister, don't be so sad that your younger sister will also cry a lot in the future."
Fang's words made Fang's tears fall straight down: "I would rather you be naughty on weekdays, act like an adult, be so sensible, so that people don't know what you are thinking."
Brother Ai was busy wiping away Fang's tears, Brother Xun was also frightened, took Fang's hand and yelled, "I'm naughty, I'm not sensible, what grandma wants to know, I'll tell grandma."
Shen Yiyi hugged his youngest son: "Your grandma loves your brother so much, you climbed up the pole. Learn more from your brother on weekdays, and you will be a brother too. In the future, you are still counting on you to take good care of your sister." .”
"If brother hurts, you have to hurt me too." Brother Xun looked at brother Ai with a little timidity: "Brother says yes?"
Brother Ai jokingly asked his nose, but he let it go: "Press it again and it won't grow any longer. Sister Yu shouldn't play with me anymore."
This brat.Brother Ai asked Brother Xun if he hurt him, and he replied helplessly, and stretched out another little hand in front of his eyes, resignedly took out a piece of maltose from his pocket, and first flattered Fang With a smile: "This is not easy for him to chew, and it's not very sweet, so it can make him shut up." It's hard for Fang not to hold back his tears.
Jia Min in the Lin Mansion looked at the letter that Shen Ren had sent to Lin Ruhai, and was also crying: "Master, am I neglecting Yu'er too much?"
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min, and nodded slightly: "Brother Ai is usually steady, and still has such thoughts. Yu'er has always been pampered. I think she is very careful, and she has a temperament that doesn't want to cause trouble for others."
Jia Min smiled with tears in his eyes: "I've often given Brother Ai some problems."
Lin Ruhai nodded: "Yeah, thanks to Brother Ai, otherwise Yu'er might grow into a sensitive temper, if she pays attention to everything and everything, it will only make her walk in a difficult situation, and she will be the one who will be sad in the future. "
"It's all my fault." Jia Min reflected on his behavior after having Brother Kuan, with self-blame on his face: "I feel that Brother Kuan is what I hoped for so hard. You can't say that I won't have a son, and you can't accuse me of leaving the Lin family without an offspring, so you put him first in everything and ignore Yu'er."
Lin Ruhai's face was very serious: "Fortunately, I discovered it in time, and my wife will still treat the two children equally in the future. You need to know that if there is no Yu'er, even if Brother Ai is my student, I will not be so confident in ordering him."
Jia Min nodded after hearing this: "Tomorrow, all the people who should be matched with Yu'er will be matched."
Lin Ruhai said to her: "How to arrange the people around Yu'er, you should ask Nanny Gu for her opinion, she is from the Shen family and is more familiar with the Shen family's ways. So Yu'er was raised according to the Shen family's ways from a young age , so that she won't have to worry about changing it in the future."
Mentioning Nanny Gu, Jia Min smiled helplessly: "Speaking of this Nanny Gu, I thought she was sent by the Shen family, so she must have demanded more from Yu'er in everything, and did everything well for Yu'er's future." Fortunately, I plan to let her go. I don’t want her to follow Yu’er’s temperament at home. Regarding the things Yu’er encountered outside, she has to discuss with Brother Ai before deciding whether to correct or not. Really I'm afraid they will spoil Yu'er into lawlessness."
"That must be Brother Ai's idea." Lin Ruhai said with certainty: "He told me that he didn't want to sway Yu'er's temper, and wanted her to be carefree and just be herself. Sigh, the heart is good, but this Where in the world can anyone be truly carefree?"
Jia Min had a faint hope for Daiyu in his heart, but he was afraid that his hope would be in vain, so he said: "I will also pay attention to Yu'er's words and deeds in the future, if it is not in line with the world, I still have to remind her."
Seeing Lin Ruhai nod her head, Jia Min began to think about how many more people should be added to Daiyu's side, and how he could quietly let Daiyu eliminate the grudges that might exist in her heart.
Brother Ai didn't know about these things, but felt that whether it was Shen Ren and Fang Shi, or Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, they suddenly paid attention to him, and from time to time they would look at him until he felt hairy.Even Shen Ren and Lin Ruhai didn't hold on to their participation in the government examination so tightly, and took themselves out for a walk from time to time.
Could it be that the halo of the protagonist finally had an effect?Brother Ai sometimes thinks narcissistically, and only thinks about it.He only got tenth in the county test, let alone the next government test and hospital test.Other protagonists generally have to hit six yuan to live up to their aura, which shows that I am still far behind.
When Brother Ai was going to take the government examination, he found that Shen Ren had sent himself outside the second gate and refused to go back, so he had to salute to him: "Grandma's body is getting heavier and heavier, if the second master is not busy with business, Please stay at home more, there are not many things going on in the yamen anyway."
Shen Renhun nodded indifferently: "I will send you into the examination room and return."
The thunder is rolling.
Brother Ai looked at Shen Ren in surprise, not believing what he had just heard.Shen Ren himself was a little embarrassed: "The office of the government examination is not far from the Yamen, so I'll stop by to have a look."
"Yeah." Brother Ai, if he still doesn't understand why Shen Ren made such a move, he can really buy a piece of tofu himself and kill him.Haha, he thought with trepidation in his heart, no wonder people say that crying children have milk, and he just complained to Mr. Li, and he got the treatment of being sent to the exam.
With a smile on his face, Brother Ai, who got into the car and sat down under Shen Ren's eyes, didn't feel that his behavior was childish at all.He felt that although he had the memory of the previous life in his core, his body was actually the son of the couple, and he had always been actively undertaking all the requirements of a son in this era.
He took good care of his body, so it was useless for Shen Ren and his wife to worry about his minor illnesses and pains. He made progress in his studies and did not develop into a playboy. Passing the county examination at the age of eight made Shen Ren and his wife show off the limelight.
His son is doing well!Then you should enjoy the right to be a son.Brother Ai was thinking happily in the car, not caring that Shen Ren, who was riding a horse outside, was under the pressure of all the attention.
Shen Ren had only one thought, if this son did not perform as well as last time in the exam, then he must give him a good beating, no one can plead for mercy!
The results came out quickly, and Brother Ai still ranked tenth in the government examination.Rumors also spread quickly. As soon as the results came out, some people began to say that Shen Ren was afraid that his son would fail the exam, so he deliberately sent his son to the exam room in order to put pressure on the officials in the house who presided over the exam. At the age of eight, he overwhelmed the pack.
Shen Ren went back to the mansion with a dark face, Brother Ai was waiting for him at the door: "Second Master?"
Looking at the worried eldest son, Shen Ren felt less grievance in his heart: "It's nothing, I have already found out who spread the rumors."
Brother Ai didn't feel much relieved after hearing this: "Even if we find out who released the rumors, people who don't know the truth will only think that the second master is really using power to suppress people." He asked again: "Who is it? Dare to say such words at this moment?"
Shen Ren sneered: "Tell me what you think."
Brother Ai didn't hide it: "When I visited the teacher, I found out that Zhang's family and Wang's family didn't win. If someone spreads rumors, they can't get away from them."
Shen Ren led him back: "It is the Wang family. Their family is a branch of the county magistrate in Jinling. It is said that they finally found someone who can read. I don't want to only get more than 30 in the county examination, but not in the government examination. Yes. I heard that their elder brother is already fifteen or sixteen years old this year. If he passed for you, he would complain in the street, and if people hear it, they will spread falsehoods."
Brother Ai followed with a sneer: "How can it be so easy for people to listen to complaining in the street?"
Before the two of them could say anything else, Jin'er had already rushed out of the second door like the wind, and shouted to the servants: "Hurry up and get someone to find the second master, grandma has started."
The father and son looked at each other, and came to Jin'er in twos and threes.Jin'er was also taken aback, and kept talking: "Today, Li Lai's family went out to listen to something, and without knowing it, he went to grandma to offer his services, and grandma mobilized after listening to it for a long time."
Shen Ren walked in, and Brother Ai's face was already stern: "Come here, tie Li Lai and his family to the woodshed. Grandma won't give birth for a while, so no one is allowed to come near, and no one is allowed to give them water. drink, and no food is allowed."
Shen Cheng was turning the grinder on the second gate, and left after listening to brother Ai's words, brother Ai rubbed his face, loosened the flesh and entered the second gate.In front of the delivery room, Shen Renzheng hugged Brother Xun and turned around, Brother Ai saw Brother Xun's face turned pale with fright, and stepped forward to pick him up: "Where's your nanny?"
"Grandma is okay, right?" Brother Xun only asked this.
Brother Ai nodded: "It's okay, I can see my sister in a while. Let your nanny take you back to sleep first, and see your sister energetically tomorrow, okay?"
Brother Xun didn't shake his head or nod when he heard this, he just grabbed his brother's collar tightly and leaned his head directly on Brother Ai's shoulder without moving.Shen Ren wanted to take it, but Brother Ai shook his head and didn't give it to him. He carried Brother Xun out of the main courtyard with some difficulty.
Brother Xun's nanny followed them all the time, and went up to take Brother Xun, but Brother Ai still staggered and carried him to his own yard: "How about you sleep with brother today?"
Only then did Brother Xun raise his head, and looked at Brother Ai steadfastly: "Brother, don't go."
Brother Ai patted his little head: "Let the nanny wash you up first, you sleep and wait for me, I'll be back in a while." Seeing Brother Xun nodded, he returned to the main courtyard.
There were voices floating in the delivery room, and Brother Ai just stood under the window and listened to the movement inside. He was relieved when he heard Fang's shouting forcefully, and he came to Shen Ren and said, "I have already ordered Li Lai to come. The whole family looked up."
Shen Ren's face also showed a stern look, and the expressions of the father and son were surprisingly consistent: "Don't be soft-hearted, our family is lenient, not to raise some things to eat."
Brother Ai nodded: "We have to wait for grandma to be safe."
The waiting time was the most exhausting, Shen Ren didn't say a word except to ask if his brother had fallen asleep.Brother Ai was worried, so he went back to the yard to see that Brother Xun had been put to sleep by his nanny.
When the red sun was rising again, Fang, who had been tossing all night, finally gave birth to another son, causing Shen Ren and Brother Ai to look at each other in dismay: "Isn't the reaction this time different from the last time?"
Obviously looking forward to having a daughter so much, but the one who was born was another son. Fang took a look and fell asleep, Shen Ren also yawned and said to Brother Ai: "Go and hang the bow, and then send someone Good news everywhere."
Brother Ai had no choice but to ask the nanny who had already been hired to take the newborn back to the West Wing, and said helplessly to Shen Ren: "It's a happy event for my brother to come home, and the second master should also give a reward."
"Three sons," Shen Ren said with displeasure on his face, "Even if one of them is a daughter." Reluctantly, he publicly ordered each of them to pay a two-month monthly salary, and then ran into the packed delivery room to see him. Fang.
Fang Shi was still in a deep sleep and couldn't share Shen Ren's loss. Brother Xun had come over and stabbed Shen Ren in the heart: "Where's my sister? Does she look good? When will you play with me?"
Shen Ren said angrily: "You are too naughty, my sister thinks that she will be bullied by you when she comes here, so she replaced her brother."
"Wow——" Brother Xun burst into tears when he heard the words: "Where's my sister, where's my sister?"
Brother Ai had asked Shen Cheng's family to prepare meals for Shen Ren and brother Xun, and asked her to keep an eye on the kitchen so that Fang could eat at any time after waking up: "You keep an eye on me, the family just left In order to eat things from the inside out, if grandma has something here, the face of your family will be gone for a few lifetimes."
Shen Chengjia's waist was bent as low as possible, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, don't worry, my son, this old servant will go to the kitchen to watch in person."
Covering his mouth and yawning, Brother Ai put down his hands and said: "The kitchen needs to be watched, and the inner house needs to be cleaned up again. Whether it's people brought from Beijing or new people from Yangzhou, we must not let them go."
With the guarantee from Shen Cheng's family, Brother Ai came to the front of the woodshed without any haste.He locked up Li Lai's family yesterday without asking indiscriminately, and he was really scared in his heart.
The matter was too coincidental to be regarded as a coincidence——Shen Ren had just found out the source of the rumors, and Fang knew about the rumors here, and was so angry that he was so angry. Who knows if Li Lai's family added fuel to the story!Based on Brother Ai's understanding of Fang's, although this cheap lady is a bit serious about small things, she is not confused about big things.
She should believe in the son she watched growing up!Fang Shi, who believed in Brother Ai, was so angry that he gave birth prematurely, which shows how unpleasant Li Lai's words are!
"Pull Li Zhuang and Xiaoya out. Li Zhuang will be sold to the Northwest Army Garrison, and Xiaoya will be sold to Nanhai Yanzi." A faint order made the firewood room burst into tears.
Li Lai kept kowtowing to the door of the chaifang: "I don't know what I have committed. Please tell me clearly. Is there any slave who is responsible for it alone? Please don't sell Li Zhuang and Xiaoya." Li Lai's family also cried, But Brother Ai heard a trace of hesitation in the crying.Li Zhuang and Xiao Ya were already stupid, they only knew how to cry and didn't even know how to beg for mercy.
Suppressing the unbearable feeling in his heart, Brother Ai lowered his voice colder than ice: "You don't know what you committed, so just ask your wife what good deeds she has done!"
Li Lai suddenly raised his head to look at the daughter-in-law who was dodging his eyes, and said bitterly: "You mother-in-law, how dare you pull your wife's tongue again? Hurry up and say it!"
Li Lai's family still refused to talk lightly, and said, "It's just that I heard people talking about the young master from outside. I was afraid that grandma would not know, so I kindly told grandma to listen to it."
"You are really kind. Your kindness caused grandma to give birth nearly two months prematurely!" Brother Ai was furious: "You are also a person who has had children. I don't know what pregnant women should be careful about? And you told grandma What, who asked you to say it, and what benefits you have received from someone, tell me clearly!"
Seeing that the daughter-in-law wanted to squeak, Li Lai slapped her directly: "I told you to gossip every day, but now you dare to gossip about the master."
Li Lai's daughter-in-law covered her cheeks, and she couldn't resist the man's fist and the cries of her children. She said everything she knew: This daughter-in-law is also a good gossip, because Fang's housekeeper is strict, and the house does not allow it. To spread gossip, I had no choice but to develop a few so-called good sisters.
These few sisters are just slaves working in various mansions. When they communicate with each other, they get to know each other well. They have a little face but not enough to be valued by the master. They all try to tell each other "secret stories" about the master's family. .Among them was the daughter-in-law of a comprador in the Wang family, who said that the young master of their family studied well and received many compliments from the master.
Li Lai's daughter-in-law didn't show any weakness, she just said that her master valued her uncle so much that she even sent her for the government examination in person.I don't want the comprador's daughter-in-law to disagree:
"Why do you love your uncle? It's just that you are afraid that your uncle will fail the exam. I went to the examination room and told the examiner that he was his son. Now all candidates know that some of your uncles cheated when they passed the government exam. It is discussed that all the students in the house should stop taking the exam, and let the governor give an explanation!"
Hearing what Li Lai's family said, Brother Ai understood why Fang Shi gave birth prematurely.Knowing the consequences of the students' refusal to take the exam, she was startled, anxious and angry, leading to premature delivery.
"This kind of news, why didn't you wait to tell me and the second master, but directly told grandma?" Brother Ai asked.
Li Lai's family murmured for a while, and then got Li Lai's fists again, and then said eagerly: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family told me that if I told grandma the news first, let grandma figure out a way to share the worries with the second master in advance. If you value it, you will definitely value me. At that time, it is impossible to let my family Li come to be a steward."
"That's all?" Brother Ai looked at Li Lai's family steadfastly, seeing her flusteredly rolling her eyes, not daring to meet Brother Ai's gaze.In the distance, Juan'er brought a woman over with something: "Master, I have already searched Li Lai's house, and there are some things in it that do not belong to our house."
Brother Ai looked at the few items, but they were just hairpins and rings, all made of red gold, not exquisite in appearance, but they seemed to be full of weight.Holding those few things, Brother Ai didn't have any expression on his face: "Li Lai's family, you have a good way of making money."
Now Li Lai's daughter-in-law sat slumped on the ground: "I have something to tell the young master, and ask the young master to take my son and daughter out."
Brother Ai looked at Li Zhuang and Xiaoya who only knew how to cry, and waved to the woman outside, and the two came up and pulled Li Zhuang and Xiaoya out.Li Lai moved his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything else, his eyes fixed on his wife: "Bitch, hurry up and say it."
What can I say?It's just a story of a clever wife and a clumsy husband who feel that the pearl is in the dark.The person Li Lai's daughter-in-law was with was the one whom the comprador daughter-in-law of the Wang family had led, and that man would send things to please her from time to time, which made Li Lai's wife grateful and obedient to the comprador daughter-in-law.
Glancing at Li Lai with red eyes, Brother Ai let out a long sigh.It is not a lie to say that what you say inside is not what you say outside.If it weren't for Li Lai's family's bravery to say right and wrong about the master, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family's comprador would not have been able to take the opportunity to make Fang suffer such a big loss.
What makes Brother Ai feel uneasy is that Zhou Zhang's calculations like Wang Jiafei are not just for the sake of the junior mansion.In case someone instigates them behind their backs, the Shen family who intends to be in Beijing is still Lin Ruhai, brother Ai has no clue.
Li Lai squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, without even looking at his wife.The daughter-in-law cried until her nose was snotted with tears: "I beg you to spare me this time."
Brother Ai couldn't wait to hear this: "It's not whether I will forgive you or not, it is Li Lai who will not forgive you, it is your sons and daughters who will not forgive you." As he spoke, he motioned for Li Lai to be pulled out of the firewood room and asked him to take him with him. He took his children home and waited for the letter.
"My lord is tired too, why don't you go back to your room to wash up first?" Juan'er whispered, "Grandma is still asleep there, and Nanny Zhang looks at my little brother and asks where are sister Jin'er and Nanny." Let's watch together. Mrs. Shen has already given a lecture to the slaves, in the future, except for compradors, idlers are not allowed to go out of the house at will."
A few words clearly explained the whereabouts of the masters in the mansion, Brother Ai nodded with satisfaction: "I see, you go back to serve grandma, and grandma will call me as soon as she wakes up. Before I don't go, don't let me go." Grandma is worried. By the way, where is the second master?" Just now Juan'er didn't say anything about the hero Shen Ren.
Juan'er said with some embarrassment: "Second Master washed up and went out without even having breakfast, and the slaves didn't dare to ask Second Master where he was going."
It is right for the master not to tell whereabouts, but for the slave not to ask.Brother Ai nodded and let her go back to the inner house. She felt dizzy all the way back to her yard, and fell asleep on the bed without even washing her face.
When I woke up, the sun outside the window was just right, Brother Ai asked, "What time is it?"
Shuangyue hurried into the room: "It's almost noon. The elder sister Juan'er from grandma's side came once and asked if the young master was still asleep and she didn't disturb her. She said it was grandma's order. Just now the person at the door said that the second master had passed away. I'm back home."
Hearing that Shen Ren had returned to the mansion, Brother Ai hurriedly washed, changed his clothes and went to the study.In the courtyard of the study room, Shen Cheng stood there sweating, and seeing Brother Ai put out a smile that was uglier than crying.Brother Ai ignored him - as Fang's manager who specially asked Mrs. Shen to reward him, he should have both ability and skill, but he made the magistrate so passive. Brother Ai would not believe him if he said that he didn't slack off his errands.
When I entered the room, I saw Shen Yi sulking with a haggard face, Brother Ai poured him tea, and persuaded: "Second Master, don't be too angry, it's because grandma is depressed these days, which makes such a slave turn over. What a day. When Xiaosan'er is out of the full moon, grandma will be able to re-chair herself."
Only then did Shen Ren pick up the tea, took a sip and put it down: "Do you think I'm useless as a father?"
How did you say this, how did you directly rise to the height of self-confidence?Brother Ai quickly stated his position: "Father is far away from the family. With the magistrate, you can not be ignored by Yangzhou officials. My son thinks you are already very remarkable."
"But what my father can do for you is far less than your husband." Shen Ren said in frustration.
Although Brother Ai didn't know why he was suddenly compared with Lin Ruhai, he continued to pour chicken soup on him: "Not to mention the time spent in officialdom, even in terms of rank, Mr. is better than the second master. Even the magistrate Yang can't help but sell Mr. Let's save some face. What's more, my husband and the prefect Yang are close to tearing each other apart, and you can act without scruples, but if your father and the prefect Yang want to pretend to be false, it is inevitable that your hands will be restrained."
What he said was very reasonable, Shen Ren nodded and listened to it, he picked up his teacup and stood in a daze for a while, then said: "Your husband has already informed the prefect of Yang, and posted your top ten papers for the world to let everyone See if there is any cheating at their respective levels."
Only then did Brother Ai know why Shen Ren sighed like this, and stepped forward to gently beat Shen Ren on the back: "If there is no master, Mr. Yang alone can't tell the prefect of Yang. Besides, if the father didn't make this decision for his son. I'm afraid that my husband won't accept me as a student, so how can I tell the magistrate Yang for me?"
Shen Ren looked back at Brother Ai, saw that he was always smiling slightly, and felt relieved: "Didn't you say that your husband was able to acquire talents and cultivate knowledge, and it was a happy event in his life? Why is he now humbled."
Brother Ai laughed aloud: "That's because I didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth when I was young. Why should the second master mention it again. Now I have a mistress. By the way, I can't always call him that. Second master, can you think about his nickname?" No matter how you hear the word, it sounds awkward.
Shen Ren really didn't have time to think, and asked Brother Ai, "Do you have an idea?"
"Second Lord," Brother Ai said in a startled look, "My name and Brother Xun's name were both chosen by Second Master himself, but now it makes me think of Little San'er's name. If he grows up, he feels that Second Master doesn't value him He, what should we do if we have a quarrel with our two brothers?" Let Shen Ren annoy himself when it comes to naming things.
Shen Ren also knew that he intended to relieve himself, so he gave him a slight shudder: "After dinner, I went to your husband's house, first to thank him for being a leader for you, and second, to ask your teacher's wife to come to the house to help you in the future." Let's talk about the matter of washing the three."
Looks like it's going to be a big deal.Brother Ai nodded understandingly: "Don't worry, second master, tomorrow I will have the flowers sent over, and I will invite the cook from Zuixianju to come over and make noodles." Seeing Shen Ren nodding, Brother Ai went into the inner house After seeing Fang Shi, he looked at the little San'er who looked like a red-skinned monkey, and took Brother Xun to dinner along the way, and put him to sleep before heading to Lin's mansion.
"Congratulations, brother." Daiyu heard that he was coming, and waited cheerfully in the second gate: "Is the little brother good-looking, please ask if you like it or not?"
Brother Ai took her hand and walked inside, teasing her: "Why don't you ask me if I like it?"
Daiyu raised her head confidently, but she could only see brother Ai's chin: "I know brother likes me the most."
Gu Nanny looked at Daiyu with a distorted face, and then at Brother Ai.Under the pressure of Gu Momo's gaze, Brother Ai nodded with a smile: "It's good that Yu'er knows, and it's fine to talk about it at home. You can't say that when you go out, otherwise it will be passed on to Brother Xun. cry."
Daiyu nodded vigorously: "Brother Xun loves to cry too much, and Brother Kuan loves to cry too, if it's not as good as me, I won't cry."
In this life, under the influence of Brother Ai, Daiyu had an open mind, and was raised by her parents. Although Jia Min ignored her for a while, fortunately, she was remedied in time, so Daiyu seldom shed tears.Brother Ai thinks this is very good, he thought wickedly, Jing Huan must make Fairy Lin return her tears to the waiter Shenying, is it true that if Daiyu does not return the tears, that thing will not be able to wash away the dirt from the lower realm Return to too illusory world?
That's the best!Let those high-ranking immortals think that the world is just playing with them, and think that if you go down to the earth and go through a kalpa, your mana will increase greatly, so your kalpa should never end. Let's see if you dare to do it next time!
Jia Min was coaxing Brother Kuan who had just woken up. Seeing Daiyu and Brother Ai coming in holding hands, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and smiled at Brother Ai, "I heard you got a younger brother again, why don't you?" Is there still time to run?"
Brother Ai called Jia Min a thousand times: "First, to announce the good news to my wife, and second, to ask my wife to come to the house the day after tomorrow to help organize the three banquets."
Jia Min nodded and smiled and told him to get up quickly: "It's not a big deal, it's worth running for yourself. I'm going. Your grandma gave birth two months prematurely, and she suffered a lot. .”
Looking at Daiyu, Jia Min only asked vaguely, "Is the house in order?"
Brother Ai nodded: "It's all cleared up. I think that such people are not only in my family, but also my wife should take care of it. Some people don't know how to be grateful when they are forgiven. There are always people who are not heartless. when."
Jia Min nodded straight after hearing this: "You are right, your husband and I have already started work yesterday, and a few bad words have also been put in the Zhuangzi. Even Brother Kuan has to be staffed again."
In other words, someone is going to attack the only male in the Lin family.Brother Ai couldn't help remembering that after the death of the only heir in the original book, Jia Min was too desperate to follow Yiyi's illness, and hurriedly said to her: "Brother Kuan will pack it tightly tomorrow, and take it to our house."
When Jia Min heard Brother Ai tell him to take Brother Kuan with him, she understood and nodded to him in agreement.After thinking about it, he said: "You don't have to go to Zhuangzi all the time, just go and bring more people."
Brother Ai smiled when he heard it, but he felt that the matter was not that bad, and now those people only dared to use some behind-the-scenes tricks. Besides, he was only a son of Zhizhou, and he was not worthy of others' fanfare.
However, Jia Min's concern was very useful to him, and she responded with a smile and then asked: "What flowers does my wife want to see in the future, I will ask them to send them."
After hearing this, Jia Min said angrily: "I will hold three baptismal banquets for your brother in the future to let those villains see that the Shen family is not so easy to deceive, and it is not so easy to scare people, as long as it is solemn. I want When can I not enjoy the flowers."
Brother Ai quickly laughed and said, "I was thinking of being lazy." Daiyu looked at Jia Min and said, "Didn't my wife say a few days ago that I didn't see any good bluegrass this year? I remember that there are several pots in the village. It's easy to move back."
What is extroverted girls?Jia Min sighed softly, and said to Nanny Gu, "Am I worrying for nothing?"
Gu Numming followed suit: "Madam is happy to see that the girl and the young master are so talkative."
Jia Min was amused: "That's true, I just hope they will always be like this." Daiyu raised her chin confidently: "I am sensible, I don't like to cry, and I don't worry about other people's things. , as long as Brother Ai gives it to me, it will always be fine like this."
On the third day, Jia Min brought Daiyu and Brother Kuan over early. Because Brother Kuan hadn't woken up yet, he placed them in Brother Xun'er's room and let Juan'er take care of them. Jia Min and Daiyu came to see Fang.
Fang's body is better than when he was just born. When he saw Jia Min coming in, he was about to get up, but she held him down: "You and I are not outsiders, so why be so polite."
Fang smiled weakly: "I always trouble you, how can I feel at ease." After bowing to Jia Min on the pillow, she waved to Daiyu: "Come on, Yu'er."
Daiyu looked at Fang with some fear, and saw that her smile was still the same as before, so she slowly walked to the bed: "Grandma is sick, have you taken any medicine? It's Xiao San'er who made grandma suffer. Teach him a lesson."
Just as Jia Min was about to stop her daughter, she saw that Mrs. Fang had already started to laugh. She thought that she had touched the wound, and grinned involuntarily: "You are very right, let Brother Ai teach him a lesson. But Xiao San'er took If you have a name, let’s call him Brother Familiar.”
Jia Min laughed and said: "This name is well acquired, and it means proficiency. In the future, I will be another one who can read."
Mrs. Fang nodded lightly: "It doesn't matter if you can study or not. Because of my own irritable temper, I let the child come out to meet people in less than a month. I just want him to be safe."
Daiyu nodded and smiled slightly: "It will be safe, we are all safe." She was five years old at the time, wearing a bright yellow long skirt, which made her face turn red and white, her eyes sparkled as she spoke, The sound is crisp and sweet, so that the listener can't help but believe it.
Both Fang Shi and Jia Min nodded and said yes, and left Daiyu to chat with Fang Shi to relieve boredom, and Jia Min went out to see that all kinds of things were ready.There is a precedent for Brother Xun, it is not natural for Shen Cheng and his wife to be particularly flattering when they are new, and they are well prepared.Jia Min just counted them again to check for omissions.
This is the first time that the Zhizhou Prefecture has a big banquet. Yesterday, the top ten test papers of the government examination were suddenly posted yesterday. People who are well-informed know all about it, so there is an endless stream of people who came to the Zhizhou Prefecture today to congratulate.
"There are always villains in the world who can't see the good of others, don't take it to heart." Yang Yi saw the welcoming brother Ai at the door, and this was the first sentence she said, which made Yang Bao who came with him involuntarily corner his lips took a swipe.
Brother Ai was still moved by Yang Yi's words, and smiled and made a gesture of invitation to him: "A gentleman is open-minded, and a villain always caresses. Although I dare not compare myself to a gentleman, I am not a villain who always cares about me. Now The truth is clear, there are people who suffer more than me."
Yang Bao frowned involuntarily, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "It's rare that you can think about it. It's just like this, the truth is revealed, so you don't have to worry about it, just prepare for the hospital exam."
Brother Ai shook his head with a smile that was not a smile: "How can you not worry, you have to know why Wang Hua wanted to express my private intentions, and it happened to be listened to. Or if you come out like this after the hospital examination, there is no such thing as Yang Hua in the provincial capital." Uncle is here, so he may not be willing to post the test paper, my life
Feeling that his sleeves were a bit heavy, Brother Ai turned his gaze to Brother Xun, and saw that the boy was smiling forcefully at himself.Knowing that he was guilty of accusing himself of being black again yesterday, Brother Ai gave him a cold face, and successfully made the boy bow his head and dare not look at him again, but the hands on the sleeves did not loosen.
Shen Ren put down the letter paper, and watched the interaction between the two brothers in a good mood. This time, he did not favor Brother Xun, but only looked at Fang Shi, still smiling slightly.Mrs. Fang asked puzzledly: "But what did Mr. Li say to make the second master happy, so happy?"
The smile on Shen Ren's face hasn't been put away since he read the letter. When he heard Fang asked himself, he handed the letter directly to her. Fang looked amused as he looked at it, and waved to Brother Ai: "Is there any news today?" What do you want to eat?"
Brother Xun raised his head in disbelief: "I want to eat braised elbow."
"I didn't ask you, I asked your brother." Fang also had a smile on his face, but that smile was a bit meaningful.
Brother Ai found out that the couple was weird, but he didn't know that Mr. Li had already sold him. Looking at Brother Xun's little face that was about to cry, and Fang's belly that was showing a little, he sighed in his heart. in one breath.Forget it, I have already been ignored by others, this kid doesn't have such a strong heart as myself, if he is neglected and becomes autistic, he will be in trouble.
"Braised elbows are pretty good too." Brother Ai said indifferently.
After hearing this, Fang Shi and Shen Ren looked at each other, with a gratified smile inside, pulled Ai Geer over, rubbed him well, and made Ai Geer feel goosebumps layer after layer :"grandmother."
Mrs. Fang looked more happily: "You have always been unwilling to get close to others. I always thought it was a natural weird temper. In addition, you are calmer than adults, so you always think that you start things early. Little do I know that in my heart, It hurts more than Brother Xun. At such a young age, because he is the eldest son, he has more responsibilities than him..." As he spoke, he became sad, and his eyes were red.
Such a sudden and emotional Fang family made Brother Ai ignore her discomfort, and persuaded her: "I know grandma loves me, but grandma can't take care of me because of Brother Xun. It's not because of this discomfort, grandma is now Now that you have a younger sister, don't be so sad that your younger sister will also cry a lot in the future."
Fang's words made Fang's tears fall straight down: "I would rather you be naughty on weekdays, act like an adult, be so sensible, so that people don't know what you are thinking."
Brother Ai was busy wiping away Fang's tears, Brother Xun was also frightened, took Fang's hand and yelled, "I'm naughty, I'm not sensible, what grandma wants to know, I'll tell grandma."
Shen Yiyi hugged his youngest son: "Your grandma loves your brother so much, you climbed up the pole. Learn more from your brother on weekdays, and you will be a brother too. In the future, you are still counting on you to take good care of your sister." .”
"If brother hurts, you have to hurt me too." Brother Xun looked at brother Ai with a little timidity: "Brother says yes?"
Brother Ai jokingly asked his nose, but he let it go: "Press it again and it won't grow any longer. Sister Yu shouldn't play with me anymore."
This brat.Brother Ai asked Brother Xun if he hurt him, and he replied helplessly, and stretched out another little hand in front of his eyes, resignedly took out a piece of maltose from his pocket, and first flattered Fang With a smile: "This is not easy for him to chew, and it's not very sweet, so it can make him shut up." It's hard for Fang not to hold back his tears.
Jia Min in the Lin Mansion looked at the letter that Shen Ren had sent to Lin Ruhai, and was also crying: "Master, am I neglecting Yu'er too much?"
Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Min, and nodded slightly: "Brother Ai is usually steady, and still has such thoughts. Yu'er has always been pampered. I think she is very careful, and she has a temperament that doesn't want to cause trouble for others."
Jia Min smiled with tears in his eyes: "I've often given Brother Ai some problems."
Lin Ruhai nodded: "Yeah, thanks to Brother Ai, otherwise Yu'er might grow into a sensitive temper, if she pays attention to everything and everything, it will only make her walk in a difficult situation, and she will be the one who will be sad in the future. "
"It's all my fault." Jia Min reflected on his behavior after having Brother Kuan, with self-blame on his face: "I feel that Brother Kuan is what I hoped for so hard. You can't say that I won't have a son, and you can't accuse me of leaving the Lin family without an offspring, so you put him first in everything and ignore Yu'er."
Lin Ruhai's face was very serious: "Fortunately, I discovered it in time, and my wife will still treat the two children equally in the future. You need to know that if there is no Yu'er, even if Brother Ai is my student, I will not be so confident in ordering him."
Jia Min nodded after hearing this: "Tomorrow, all the people who should be matched with Yu'er will be matched."
Lin Ruhai said to her: "How to arrange the people around Yu'er, you should ask Nanny Gu for her opinion, she is from the Shen family and is more familiar with the Shen family's ways. So Yu'er was raised according to the Shen family's ways from a young age , so that she won't have to worry about changing it in the future."
Mentioning Nanny Gu, Jia Min smiled helplessly: "Speaking of this Nanny Gu, I thought she was sent by the Shen family, so she must have demanded more from Yu'er in everything, and did everything well for Yu'er's future." Fortunately, I plan to let her go. I don’t want her to follow Yu’er’s temperament at home. Regarding the things Yu’er encountered outside, she has to discuss with Brother Ai before deciding whether to correct or not. Really I'm afraid they will spoil Yu'er into lawlessness."
"That must be Brother Ai's idea." Lin Ruhai said with certainty: "He told me that he didn't want to sway Yu'er's temper, and wanted her to be carefree and just be herself. Sigh, the heart is good, but this Where in the world can anyone be truly carefree?"
Jia Min had a faint hope for Daiyu in his heart, but he was afraid that his hope would be in vain, so he said: "I will also pay attention to Yu'er's words and deeds in the future, if it is not in line with the world, I still have to remind her."
Seeing Lin Ruhai nod her head, Jia Min began to think about how many more people should be added to Daiyu's side, and how he could quietly let Daiyu eliminate the grudges that might exist in her heart.
Brother Ai didn't know about these things, but felt that whether it was Shen Ren and Fang Shi, or Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, they suddenly paid attention to him, and from time to time they would look at him until he felt hairy.Even Shen Ren and Lin Ruhai didn't hold on to their participation in the government examination so tightly, and took themselves out for a walk from time to time.
Could it be that the halo of the protagonist finally had an effect?Brother Ai sometimes thinks narcissistically, and only thinks about it.He only got tenth in the county test, let alone the next government test and hospital test.Other protagonists generally have to hit six yuan to live up to their aura, which shows that I am still far behind.
When Brother Ai was going to take the government examination, he found that Shen Ren had sent himself outside the second gate and refused to go back, so he had to salute to him: "Grandma's body is getting heavier and heavier, if the second master is not busy with business, Please stay at home more, there are not many things going on in the yamen anyway."
Shen Renhun nodded indifferently: "I will send you into the examination room and return."
The thunder is rolling.
Brother Ai looked at Shen Ren in surprise, not believing what he had just heard.Shen Ren himself was a little embarrassed: "The office of the government examination is not far from the Yamen, so I'll stop by to have a look."
"Yeah." Brother Ai, if he still doesn't understand why Shen Ren made such a move, he can really buy a piece of tofu himself and kill him.Haha, he thought with trepidation in his heart, no wonder people say that crying children have milk, and he just complained to Mr. Li, and he got the treatment of being sent to the exam.
With a smile on his face, Brother Ai, who got into the car and sat down under Shen Ren's eyes, didn't feel that his behavior was childish at all.He felt that although he had the memory of the previous life in his core, his body was actually the son of the couple, and he had always been actively undertaking all the requirements of a son in this era.
He took good care of his body, so it was useless for Shen Ren and his wife to worry about his minor illnesses and pains. He made progress in his studies and did not develop into a playboy. Passing the county examination at the age of eight made Shen Ren and his wife show off the limelight.
His son is doing well!Then you should enjoy the right to be a son.Brother Ai was thinking happily in the car, not caring that Shen Ren, who was riding a horse outside, was under the pressure of all the attention.
Shen Ren had only one thought, if this son did not perform as well as last time in the exam, then he must give him a good beating, no one can plead for mercy!
The results came out quickly, and Brother Ai still ranked tenth in the government examination.Rumors also spread quickly. As soon as the results came out, some people began to say that Shen Ren was afraid that his son would fail the exam, so he deliberately sent his son to the exam room in order to put pressure on the officials in the house who presided over the exam. At the age of eight, he overwhelmed the pack.
Shen Ren went back to the mansion with a dark face, Brother Ai was waiting for him at the door: "Second Master?"
Looking at the worried eldest son, Shen Ren felt less grievance in his heart: "It's nothing, I have already found out who spread the rumors."
Brother Ai didn't feel much relieved after hearing this: "Even if we find out who released the rumors, people who don't know the truth will only think that the second master is really using power to suppress people." He asked again: "Who is it? Dare to say such words at this moment?"
Shen Ren sneered: "Tell me what you think."
Brother Ai didn't hide it: "When I visited the teacher, I found out that Zhang's family and Wang's family didn't win. If someone spreads rumors, they can't get away from them."
Shen Ren led him back: "It is the Wang family. Their family is a branch of the county magistrate in Jinling. It is said that they finally found someone who can read. I don't want to only get more than 30 in the county examination, but not in the government examination. Yes. I heard that their elder brother is already fifteen or sixteen years old this year. If he passed for you, he would complain in the street, and if people hear it, they will spread falsehoods."
Brother Ai followed with a sneer: "How can it be so easy for people to listen to complaining in the street?"
Before the two of them could say anything else, Jin'er had already rushed out of the second door like the wind, and shouted to the servants: "Hurry up and get someone to find the second master, grandma has started."
The father and son looked at each other, and came to Jin'er in twos and threes.Jin'er was also taken aback, and kept talking: "Today, Li Lai's family went out to listen to something, and without knowing it, he went to grandma to offer his services, and grandma mobilized after listening to it for a long time."
Shen Ren walked in, and Brother Ai's face was already stern: "Come here, tie Li Lai and his family to the woodshed. Grandma won't give birth for a while, so no one is allowed to come near, and no one is allowed to give them water. drink, and no food is allowed."
Shen Cheng was turning the grinder on the second gate, and left after listening to brother Ai's words, brother Ai rubbed his face, loosened the flesh and entered the second gate.In front of the delivery room, Shen Renzheng hugged Brother Xun and turned around, Brother Ai saw Brother Xun's face turned pale with fright, and stepped forward to pick him up: "Where's your nanny?"
"Grandma is okay, right?" Brother Xun only asked this.
Brother Ai nodded: "It's okay, I can see my sister in a while. Let your nanny take you back to sleep first, and see your sister energetically tomorrow, okay?"
Brother Xun didn't shake his head or nod when he heard this, he just grabbed his brother's collar tightly and leaned his head directly on Brother Ai's shoulder without moving.Shen Ren wanted to take it, but Brother Ai shook his head and didn't give it to him. He carried Brother Xun out of the main courtyard with some difficulty.
Brother Xun's nanny followed them all the time, and went up to take Brother Xun, but Brother Ai still staggered and carried him to his own yard: "How about you sleep with brother today?"
Only then did Brother Xun raise his head, and looked at Brother Ai steadfastly: "Brother, don't go."
Brother Ai patted his little head: "Let the nanny wash you up first, you sleep and wait for me, I'll be back in a while." Seeing Brother Xun nodded, he returned to the main courtyard.
There were voices floating in the delivery room, and Brother Ai just stood under the window and listened to the movement inside. He was relieved when he heard Fang's shouting forcefully, and he came to Shen Ren and said, "I have already ordered Li Lai to come. The whole family looked up."
Shen Ren's face also showed a stern look, and the expressions of the father and son were surprisingly consistent: "Don't be soft-hearted, our family is lenient, not to raise some things to eat."
Brother Ai nodded: "We have to wait for grandma to be safe."
The waiting time was the most exhausting, Shen Ren didn't say a word except to ask if his brother had fallen asleep.Brother Ai was worried, so he went back to the yard to see that Brother Xun had been put to sleep by his nanny.
When the red sun was rising again, Fang, who had been tossing all night, finally gave birth to another son, causing Shen Ren and Brother Ai to look at each other in dismay: "Isn't the reaction this time different from the last time?"
Obviously looking forward to having a daughter so much, but the one who was born was another son. Fang took a look and fell asleep, Shen Ren also yawned and said to Brother Ai: "Go and hang the bow, and then send someone Good news everywhere."
Brother Ai had no choice but to ask the nanny who had already been hired to take the newborn back to the West Wing, and said helplessly to Shen Ren: "It's a happy event for my brother to come home, and the second master should also give a reward."
"Three sons," Shen Ren said with displeasure on his face, "Even if one of them is a daughter." Reluctantly, he publicly ordered each of them to pay a two-month monthly salary, and then ran into the packed delivery room to see him. Fang.
Fang Shi was still in a deep sleep and couldn't share Shen Ren's loss. Brother Xun had come over and stabbed Shen Ren in the heart: "Where's my sister? Does she look good? When will you play with me?"
Shen Ren said angrily: "You are too naughty, my sister thinks that she will be bullied by you when she comes here, so she replaced her brother."
"Wow——" Brother Xun burst into tears when he heard the words: "Where's my sister, where's my sister?"
Brother Ai had asked Shen Cheng's family to prepare meals for Shen Ren and brother Xun, and asked her to keep an eye on the kitchen so that Fang could eat at any time after waking up: "You keep an eye on me, the family just left In order to eat things from the inside out, if grandma has something here, the face of your family will be gone for a few lifetimes."
Shen Chengjia's waist was bent as low as possible, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, don't worry, my son, this old servant will go to the kitchen to watch in person."
Covering his mouth and yawning, Brother Ai put down his hands and said: "The kitchen needs to be watched, and the inner house needs to be cleaned up again. Whether it's people brought from Beijing or new people from Yangzhou, we must not let them go."
With the guarantee from Shen Cheng's family, Brother Ai came to the front of the woodshed without any haste.He locked up Li Lai's family yesterday without asking indiscriminately, and he was really scared in his heart.
The matter was too coincidental to be regarded as a coincidence——Shen Ren had just found out the source of the rumors, and Fang knew about the rumors here, and was so angry that he was so angry. Who knows if Li Lai's family added fuel to the story!Based on Brother Ai's understanding of Fang's, although this cheap lady is a bit serious about small things, she is not confused about big things.
She should believe in the son she watched growing up!Fang Shi, who believed in Brother Ai, was so angry that he gave birth prematurely, which shows how unpleasant Li Lai's words are!
"Pull Li Zhuang and Xiaoya out. Li Zhuang will be sold to the Northwest Army Garrison, and Xiaoya will be sold to Nanhai Yanzi." A faint order made the firewood room burst into tears.
Li Lai kept kowtowing to the door of the chaifang: "I don't know what I have committed. Please tell me clearly. Is there any slave who is responsible for it alone? Please don't sell Li Zhuang and Xiaoya." Li Lai's family also cried, But Brother Ai heard a trace of hesitation in the crying.Li Zhuang and Xiao Ya were already stupid, they only knew how to cry and didn't even know how to beg for mercy.
Suppressing the unbearable feeling in his heart, Brother Ai lowered his voice colder than ice: "You don't know what you committed, so just ask your wife what good deeds she has done!"
Li Lai suddenly raised his head to look at the daughter-in-law who was dodging his eyes, and said bitterly: "You mother-in-law, how dare you pull your wife's tongue again? Hurry up and say it!"
Li Lai's family still refused to talk lightly, and said, "It's just that I heard people talking about the young master from outside. I was afraid that grandma would not know, so I kindly told grandma to listen to it."
"You are really kind. Your kindness caused grandma to give birth nearly two months prematurely!" Brother Ai was furious: "You are also a person who has had children. I don't know what pregnant women should be careful about? And you told grandma What, who asked you to say it, and what benefits you have received from someone, tell me clearly!"
Seeing that the daughter-in-law wanted to squeak, Li Lai slapped her directly: "I told you to gossip every day, but now you dare to gossip about the master."
Li Lai's daughter-in-law covered her cheeks, and she couldn't resist the man's fist and the cries of her children. She said everything she knew: This daughter-in-law is also a good gossip, because Fang's housekeeper is strict, and the house does not allow it. To spread gossip, I had no choice but to develop a few so-called good sisters.
These few sisters are just slaves working in various mansions. When they communicate with each other, they get to know each other well. They have a little face but not enough to be valued by the master. They all try to tell each other "secret stories" about the master's family. .Among them was the daughter-in-law of a comprador in the Wang family, who said that the young master of their family studied well and received many compliments from the master.
Li Lai's daughter-in-law didn't show any weakness, she just said that her master valued her uncle so much that she even sent her for the government examination in person.I don't want the comprador's daughter-in-law to disagree:
"Why do you love your uncle? It's just that you are afraid that your uncle will fail the exam. I went to the examination room and told the examiner that he was his son. Now all candidates know that some of your uncles cheated when they passed the government exam. It is discussed that all the students in the house should stop taking the exam, and let the governor give an explanation!"
Hearing what Li Lai's family said, Brother Ai understood why Fang Shi gave birth prematurely.Knowing the consequences of the students' refusal to take the exam, she was startled, anxious and angry, leading to premature delivery.
"This kind of news, why didn't you wait to tell me and the second master, but directly told grandma?" Brother Ai asked.
Li Lai's family murmured for a while, and then got Li Lai's fists again, and then said eagerly: "Sister-in-law of the Wang family told me that if I told grandma the news first, let grandma figure out a way to share the worries with the second master in advance. If you value it, you will definitely value me. At that time, it is impossible to let my family Li come to be a steward."
"That's all?" Brother Ai looked at Li Lai's family steadfastly, seeing her flusteredly rolling her eyes, not daring to meet Brother Ai's gaze.In the distance, Juan'er brought a woman over with something: "Master, I have already searched Li Lai's house, and there are some things in it that do not belong to our house."
Brother Ai looked at the few items, but they were just hairpins and rings, all made of red gold, not exquisite in appearance, but they seemed to be full of weight.Holding those few things, Brother Ai didn't have any expression on his face: "Li Lai's family, you have a good way of making money."
Now Li Lai's daughter-in-law sat slumped on the ground: "I have something to tell the young master, and ask the young master to take my son and daughter out."
Brother Ai looked at Li Zhuang and Xiaoya who only knew how to cry, and waved to the woman outside, and the two came up and pulled Li Zhuang and Xiaoya out.Li Lai moved his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything else, his eyes fixed on his wife: "Bitch, hurry up and say it."
What can I say?It's just a story of a clever wife and a clumsy husband who feel that the pearl is in the dark.The person Li Lai's daughter-in-law was with was the one whom the comprador daughter-in-law of the Wang family had led, and that man would send things to please her from time to time, which made Li Lai's wife grateful and obedient to the comprador daughter-in-law.
Glancing at Li Lai with red eyes, Brother Ai let out a long sigh.It is not a lie to say that what you say inside is not what you say outside.If it weren't for Li Lai's family's bravery to say right and wrong about the master, the daughter-in-law of the Wang family's comprador would not have been able to take the opportunity to make Fang suffer such a big loss.
What makes Brother Ai feel uneasy is that Zhou Zhang's calculations like Wang Jiafei are not just for the sake of the junior mansion.In case someone instigates them behind their backs, the Shen family who intends to be in Beijing is still Lin Ruhai, brother Ai has no clue.
Li Lai squatted on the ground with his head in his arms, without even looking at his wife.The daughter-in-law cried until her nose was snotted with tears: "I beg you to spare me this time."
Brother Ai couldn't wait to hear this: "It's not whether I will forgive you or not, it is Li Lai who will not forgive you, it is your sons and daughters who will not forgive you." As he spoke, he motioned for Li Lai to be pulled out of the firewood room and asked him to take him with him. He took his children home and waited for the letter.
"My lord is tired too, why don't you go back to your room to wash up first?" Juan'er whispered, "Grandma is still asleep there, and Nanny Zhang looks at my little brother and asks where are sister Jin'er and Nanny." Let's watch together. Mrs. Shen has already given a lecture to the slaves, in the future, except for compradors, idlers are not allowed to go out of the house at will."
A few words clearly explained the whereabouts of the masters in the mansion, Brother Ai nodded with satisfaction: "I see, you go back to serve grandma, and grandma will call me as soon as she wakes up. Before I don't go, don't let me go." Grandma is worried. By the way, where is the second master?" Just now Juan'er didn't say anything about the hero Shen Ren.
Juan'er said with some embarrassment: "Second Master washed up and went out without even having breakfast, and the slaves didn't dare to ask Second Master where he was going."
It is right for the master not to tell whereabouts, but for the slave not to ask.Brother Ai nodded and let her go back to the inner house. She felt dizzy all the way back to her yard, and fell asleep on the bed without even washing her face.
When I woke up, the sun outside the window was just right, Brother Ai asked, "What time is it?"
Shuangyue hurried into the room: "It's almost noon. The elder sister Juan'er from grandma's side came once and asked if the young master was still asleep and she didn't disturb her. She said it was grandma's order. Just now the person at the door said that the second master had passed away. I'm back home."
Hearing that Shen Ren had returned to the mansion, Brother Ai hurriedly washed, changed his clothes and went to the study.In the courtyard of the study room, Shen Cheng stood there sweating, and seeing Brother Ai put out a smile that was uglier than crying.Brother Ai ignored him - as Fang's manager who specially asked Mrs. Shen to reward him, he should have both ability and skill, but he made the magistrate so passive. Brother Ai would not believe him if he said that he didn't slack off his errands.
When I entered the room, I saw Shen Yi sulking with a haggard face, Brother Ai poured him tea, and persuaded: "Second Master, don't be too angry, it's because grandma is depressed these days, which makes such a slave turn over. What a day. When Xiaosan'er is out of the full moon, grandma will be able to re-chair herself."
Only then did Shen Ren pick up the tea, took a sip and put it down: "Do you think I'm useless as a father?"
How did you say this, how did you directly rise to the height of self-confidence?Brother Ai quickly stated his position: "Father is far away from the family. With the magistrate, you can not be ignored by Yangzhou officials. My son thinks you are already very remarkable."
"But what my father can do for you is far less than your husband." Shen Ren said in frustration.
Although Brother Ai didn't know why he was suddenly compared with Lin Ruhai, he continued to pour chicken soup on him: "Not to mention the time spent in officialdom, even in terms of rank, Mr. is better than the second master. Even the magistrate Yang can't help but sell Mr. Let's save some face. What's more, my husband and the prefect Yang are close to tearing each other apart, and you can act without scruples, but if your father and the prefect Yang want to pretend to be false, it is inevitable that your hands will be restrained."
What he said was very reasonable, Shen Ren nodded and listened to it, he picked up his teacup and stood in a daze for a while, then said: "Your husband has already informed the prefect of Yang, and posted your top ten papers for the world to let everyone See if there is any cheating at their respective levels."
Only then did Brother Ai know why Shen Ren sighed like this, and stepped forward to gently beat Shen Ren on the back: "If there is no master, Mr. Yang alone can't tell the prefect of Yang. Besides, if the father didn't make this decision for his son. I'm afraid that my husband won't accept me as a student, so how can I tell the magistrate Yang for me?"
Shen Ren looked back at Brother Ai, saw that he was always smiling slightly, and felt relieved: "Didn't you say that your husband was able to acquire talents and cultivate knowledge, and it was a happy event in his life? Why is he now humbled."
Brother Ai laughed aloud: "That's because I didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth when I was young. Why should the second master mention it again. Now I have a mistress. By the way, I can't always call him that. Second master, can you think about his nickname?" No matter how you hear the word, it sounds awkward.
Shen Ren really didn't have time to think, and asked Brother Ai, "Do you have an idea?"
"Second Lord," Brother Ai said in a startled look, "My name and Brother Xun's name were both chosen by Second Master himself, but now it makes me think of Little San'er's name. If he grows up, he feels that Second Master doesn't value him He, what should we do if we have a quarrel with our two brothers?" Let Shen Ren annoy himself when it comes to naming things.
Shen Ren also knew that he intended to relieve himself, so he gave him a slight shudder: "After dinner, I went to your husband's house, first to thank him for being a leader for you, and second, to ask your teacher's wife to come to the house to help you in the future." Let's talk about the matter of washing the three."
Looks like it's going to be a big deal.Brother Ai nodded understandingly: "Don't worry, second master, tomorrow I will have the flowers sent over, and I will invite the cook from Zuixianju to come over and make noodles." Seeing Shen Ren nodding, Brother Ai went into the inner house After seeing Fang Shi, he looked at the little San'er who looked like a red-skinned monkey, and took Brother Xun to dinner along the way, and put him to sleep before heading to Lin's mansion.
"Congratulations, brother." Daiyu heard that he was coming, and waited cheerfully in the second gate: "Is the little brother good-looking, please ask if you like it or not?"
Brother Ai took her hand and walked inside, teasing her: "Why don't you ask me if I like it?"
Daiyu raised her head confidently, but she could only see brother Ai's chin: "I know brother likes me the most."
Gu Nanny looked at Daiyu with a distorted face, and then at Brother Ai.Under the pressure of Gu Momo's gaze, Brother Ai nodded with a smile: "It's good that Yu'er knows, and it's fine to talk about it at home. You can't say that when you go out, otherwise it will be passed on to Brother Xun. cry."
Daiyu nodded vigorously: "Brother Xun loves to cry too much, and Brother Kuan loves to cry too, if it's not as good as me, I won't cry."
In this life, under the influence of Brother Ai, Daiyu had an open mind, and was raised by her parents. Although Jia Min ignored her for a while, fortunately, she was remedied in time, so Daiyu seldom shed tears.Brother Ai thinks this is very good, he thought wickedly, Jing Huan must make Fairy Lin return her tears to the waiter Shenying, is it true that if Daiyu does not return the tears, that thing will not be able to wash away the dirt from the lower realm Return to too illusory world?
That's the best!Let those high-ranking immortals think that the world is just playing with them, and think that if you go down to the earth and go through a kalpa, your mana will increase greatly, so your kalpa should never end. Let's see if you dare to do it next time!
Jia Min was coaxing Brother Kuan who had just woken up. Seeing Daiyu and Brother Ai coming in holding hands, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and smiled at Brother Ai, "I heard you got a younger brother again, why don't you?" Is there still time to run?"
Brother Ai called Jia Min a thousand times: "First, to announce the good news to my wife, and second, to ask my wife to come to the house the day after tomorrow to help organize the three banquets."
Jia Min nodded and smiled and told him to get up quickly: "It's not a big deal, it's worth running for yourself. I'm going. Your grandma gave birth two months prematurely, and she suffered a lot. .”
Looking at Daiyu, Jia Min only asked vaguely, "Is the house in order?"
Brother Ai nodded: "It's all cleared up. I think that such people are not only in my family, but also my wife should take care of it. Some people don't know how to be grateful when they are forgiven. There are always people who are not heartless. when."
Jia Min nodded straight after hearing this: "You are right, your husband and I have already started work yesterday, and a few bad words have also been put in the Zhuangzi. Even Brother Kuan has to be staffed again."
In other words, someone is going to attack the only male in the Lin family.Brother Ai couldn't help remembering that after the death of the only heir in the original book, Jia Min was too desperate to follow Yiyi's illness, and hurriedly said to her: "Brother Kuan will pack it tightly tomorrow, and take it to our house."
When Jia Min heard Brother Ai tell him to take Brother Kuan with him, she understood and nodded to him in agreement.After thinking about it, he said: "You don't have to go to Zhuangzi all the time, just go and bring more people."
Brother Ai smiled when he heard it, but he felt that the matter was not that bad, and now those people only dared to use some behind-the-scenes tricks. Besides, he was only a son of Zhizhou, and he was not worthy of others' fanfare.
However, Jia Min's concern was very useful to him, and she responded with a smile and then asked: "What flowers does my wife want to see in the future, I will ask them to send them."
After hearing this, Jia Min said angrily: "I will hold three baptismal banquets for your brother in the future to let those villains see that the Shen family is not so easy to deceive, and it is not so easy to scare people, as long as it is solemn. I want When can I not enjoy the flowers."
Brother Ai quickly laughed and said, "I was thinking of being lazy." Daiyu looked at Jia Min and said, "Didn't my wife say a few days ago that I didn't see any good bluegrass this year? I remember that there are several pots in the village. It's easy to move back."
What is extroverted girls?Jia Min sighed softly, and said to Nanny Gu, "Am I worrying for nothing?"
Gu Numming followed suit: "Madam is happy to see that the girl and the young master are so talkative."
Jia Min was amused: "That's true, I just hope they will always be like this." Daiyu raised her chin confidently: "I am sensible, I don't like to cry, and I don't worry about other people's things. , as long as Brother Ai gives it to me, it will always be fine like this."
On the third day, Jia Min brought Daiyu and Brother Kuan over early. Because Brother Kuan hadn't woken up yet, he placed them in Brother Xun'er's room and let Juan'er take care of them. Jia Min and Daiyu came to see Fang.
Fang's body is better than when he was just born. When he saw Jia Min coming in, he was about to get up, but she held him down: "You and I are not outsiders, so why be so polite."
Fang smiled weakly: "I always trouble you, how can I feel at ease." After bowing to Jia Min on the pillow, she waved to Daiyu: "Come on, Yu'er."
Daiyu looked at Fang with some fear, and saw that her smile was still the same as before, so she slowly walked to the bed: "Grandma is sick, have you taken any medicine? It's Xiao San'er who made grandma suffer. Teach him a lesson."
Just as Jia Min was about to stop her daughter, she saw that Mrs. Fang had already started to laugh. She thought that she had touched the wound, and grinned involuntarily: "You are very right, let Brother Ai teach him a lesson. But Xiao San'er took If you have a name, let’s call him Brother Familiar.”
Jia Min laughed and said: "This name is well acquired, and it means proficiency. In the future, I will be another one who can read."
Mrs. Fang nodded lightly: "It doesn't matter if you can study or not. Because of my own irritable temper, I let the child come out to meet people in less than a month. I just want him to be safe."
Daiyu nodded and smiled slightly: "It will be safe, we are all safe." She was five years old at the time, wearing a bright yellow long skirt, which made her face turn red and white, her eyes sparkled as she spoke, The sound is crisp and sweet, so that the listener can't help but believe it.
Both Fang Shi and Jia Min nodded and said yes, and left Daiyu to chat with Fang Shi to relieve boredom, and Jia Min went out to see that all kinds of things were ready.There is a precedent for Brother Xun, it is not natural for Shen Cheng and his wife to be particularly flattering when they are new, and they are well prepared.Jia Min just counted them again to check for omissions.
This is the first time that the Zhizhou Prefecture has a big banquet. Yesterday, the top ten test papers of the government examination were suddenly posted yesterday. People who are well-informed know all about it, so there is an endless stream of people who came to the Zhizhou Prefecture today to congratulate.
"There are always villains in the world who can't see the good of others, don't take it to heart." Yang Yi saw the welcoming brother Ai at the door, and this was the first sentence she said, which made Yang Bao who came with him involuntarily corner his lips took a swipe.
Brother Ai was still moved by Yang Yi's words, and smiled and made a gesture of invitation to him: "A gentleman is open-minded, and a villain always caresses. Although I dare not compare myself to a gentleman, I am not a villain who always cares about me. Now The truth is clear, there are people who suffer more than me."
Yang Bao frowned involuntarily, and the smile on his face remained unchanged: "It's rare that you can think about it. It's just like this, the truth is revealed, so you don't have to worry about it, just prepare for the hospital exam."
Brother Ai shook his head with a smile that was not a smile: "How can you not worry, you have to know why Wang Hua wanted to express my private intentions, and it happened to be listened to. Or if you come out like this after the hospital examination, there is no such thing as Yang Hua in the provincial capital." Uncle is here, so he may not be willing to post the test paper, my life
