Chapter 184: The Descendant
Seeing that the two of them are messing around again, this is already an unknown number of times this morning. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Han Yu was helpless, and was about to say something, when he heard a cool voice interject.
"That's how you learned to draw......"
As soon as Han Yu turned around, he saw Jiang Kuo standing behind him in red clothes, only a few feet away, and his expression was very gloomy.
She hurriedly stood up and curtsied, "Young Master!"
The two noisy people also stopped immediately, and the little guy immediately stepped forward to complain.
"Daddy, my uncle robbed me of Mr., and said that you are old!"
Shen Rui had always been afraid of this brother-in-law, so he hurriedly smiled, "Just kidding, brother-in-law, just kidding!"
"Not really......
"Shut up. ”
Tao Tao opened his mouth but didn't dare to speak anymore, he was extremely aggrieved.
Jiang Kuo took a few steps forward, circled around a few people, and suddenly said, "It turns out that this is how you teach painting." ”
"Brother-in-law, don't blame Miss Zheng for this, blame me for it......" Shen Rui hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"Brother. ”
Shen Rui was not frightened by this sudden call of "brother", and said again and again: "Brother-in-law, don't be polite, don't be polite, just call me Rarity." ”
Jiang Kuo didn't change his words, and continued: "Brother, my father-in-law is busy with affairs in the court, you should help him more." ”
Shen Rui usually cares about his father's affairs, but now Han Yu is listening to it, and his face is important, so he replied again and again: "I know, I know." ”
"Don't go yet. ”
It turned out that an eviction order was issued.
He replied yes again and again, and didn't forget to whisper to Hanyu: "Miss Zheng, this painting will be given to you!"
Before Han Yu could open his mouth to refute, he had already walked far away.
Tao Tao was very proud when he saw that his uncle was driven away.
He was about to thank his father, but he heard his father say to him, "Go to dinner." ”
Tao Tao was not surprised, looked at the sun, and said, "Daddy, it's still early." ”
"If you want to go, you can go. ”
Tao Tao had to pull Mr. Pull's sleeve: "Let's go." Sir, let's go to dinner first. ”
Jiang Kuo glared at him, "Go by yourself." ”
Tao Tao has never been treated like this on weekdays, he is aggrieved and refuses to move.
Hanyu lowered her waist to coax him. He finally left sullenly.
There were only two people left in the gazebo.
Jiang Kuo took two steps forward, stopped at the table, and looked at the painting with mocking eyes.
"What are you going to do with it?"
Hanyu was silent for a while, and replied honestly, "I don't know. ”
"Don't know?" he sneered, picked up the painting, admired it for a while, and then took out a paper fold from his bosom and scratched it with a "whoosh".
"Young Master!"
She stepped forward, trying to stop her.
"Why, reluctantly?" he smirked.
She was beaten. The outstretched hand hung down instantly.
Hum.
He snorted coldly, and without hesitation, he put the fire fold on the painting, which turned to ashes in an instant.
"Sad?"
“…… No. ”
Hanyu stood aside with her head down, her hands clasped tightly.
He grabbed her by the chin and lifted her face.
"Then why are you so nervous?"
Hanyu lowered her eyes. Don't dare to look at him.
"Unhappy to see me?"
"Nope. ”
"That's happy?"
Hanyu was silent for a while, and finally replied rationally, "Happy." ”
He suddenly pushed her away, "Which man do you see upset?"
Hanyu was pushed to sit on the corridor of the gazebo, and watched him stride away blankly, thinking carefully about what he had said wrong.
Yue'er held a stack of letters and had been waiting for a long time, only then did she see her young master striding back.
"Young Master. This is the main source of salt obtained by the spy department for the use of salt in various regions. Please take a look at it. ”
Jiang Kuo didn't reach out to take her letter, but walked to the mirror that Nian Nian used on weekdays to take a closer look.
Yue'er was not surprised, and called the young master in a low voice.
Jiang Kuo didn't look back, and suddenly said, "Am I old?"
Yue'er was taken aback and hurriedly replied, "The young master is only twenty-four years old, and it is the time when men are in their prime. ”
Jiang Kuo grabbed his fingers and calculated. One, two, three, four, five. Six, seven, eight...... Eight-year-old ...... No, it should be a little over seven years old.
He put down his hand and looked at the mirror a few more times uneasily.
"Then I don't look old, do I?"
"The young master looks very young. ”
Jiang Kuo looked at it for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so he turned around.
"What did you just say?
In the afternoon, Jiang Kuo sat at the table and looked through the letters, and Nian Nian sat on the side and quietly accompanied.
At this time, Green Yi walked in from outside, glanced at Jiang Kuo, walked to Nian Nian's side, and whispered something.
Nian Nian smiled and asked, "Then why didn't you come in?"
"Went to the backyard again. ”
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled, their faces full of ambiguity.
This is the first time I don't know how many times.
The person on one side suddenly threw his pen.
Nian Nian was startled, and hurriedly got up and asked, "Husband, isn't it easy to write?"
Jiang Kuo's face was full of irritability, and he asked, "What are you talking about over there?"
Nian Nian replied: "My brother is here, and he went to the backyard again." ”
Nian Nian thought it was a good thing, and told him with a smile.
But Jiang Kuo frowned, revealing a displeased expression.
"He's here, what about Mr. Taotao?"
I didn't know why, so I replied, "Naturally, I am accompanied." ”
Jiang Kuo said: "What about Taotao?"
Green Yi happily interjected: "The little young master is stirring on the side, and a few people are having a good time." ”
"Did I ask her to teach Taotao to play?"
Both the master and servant were stunned, and their smiles froze on their faces.
"I asked her to teach Tao Tao to paint!
Nian Nian patronized and was happy, and indeed ignored this, but the matter was caused by her younger brother, so she had to say: "Young master, it won't be long before Miss Zheng will enter the Shen family, just a few days, Taotao's painting should not delay a lot." ”
"Won't it be delayed a lot?" Jiang Kuo chased after him, "We Taotao can recite poetry at the age of two, and the name of a prodigy is already outside, he is burdened with higher expectations than other children, and he also has heavier pressure than others. Now is a good time for children to learn, and there is a big difference between studying for a few days and playing for a few days. ”
Hearing him say this, Niannian felt that he was too strict with his children. But after all, it is for the good of the child.
She thought for a while and said, "Anyway, Miss Zheng can't stay for a long time after all, why don't I ask Taotao for a new gentleman?"
Jiang Kuo's face was still very gloomy, but he didn't say anything, he should have acquiesced.
Nian Nian was about to tell the green clothes, but after thinking about it, he hesitated again: "But husband, Mr. Zheng is lonely, and he doesn't know where to go when he leaves here." ”
Jiang Kuo replied: "You can just give her an errand in the house, so that she will not starve to death." It's right under our noses, so you can take a good look at your brother. ”
Nian Nian naturally understood his words, and said a little unbearably: "Husband means to let her ...... To be a subordinate?"
Jiang Kuo looked at Nian Nian's hesitant expression, smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, poor people like them." I don't care much about status and fame or anything, not to mention that you arranged her to be a subordinate, just to give her food and give us a good opportunity to observe her, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”
Nian Nian saw her husband say this, thought about it for a while, and smiled. "Okay, husband, then I'll arrange a light errand for her, why don't you let her serve me with the green-clothed women. ”
Jiang Kuo smiled, didn't speak again, and obviously agreed.
Nian Nian went out and called Steward Jiang. explained his arrangements one by one, and instructed: "Steward Jiang, that's it, you go and arrange it." ”
Steward Jiang bent down and said yes, but did not leave.
Nian Nian wondered: "Is there anything else going on with Steward Jiang?"
Steward Jiang hesitated, "Madame are sure you want to arrange it like this?"
Nian Nian was stunned for a moment. smiled: "Sure, you go." ”
Steward Jiang just went, and Niannian stood in place thinking about Steward Jiang's words.
There's nothing wrong with that, right? I just don't know if she'd want to.
Mr. Zheng came soon, and there was not much emotion on his face, Nian Nian breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her to introduce the new accommodation.
In the main room, as soon as Yue'er entered the door, she saw the young master sitting at the table in front of the window.
She walked in with some hesitation, not knowing whether to speak.
Jiang Kuo didn't raise his head, "Don't you even have to say hello when you enter the door?"
Yue'er was about to speak, but he said again: "Invite Uncle Jiang in." ”
Suddenly, Yue'er and Steward Jiang appeared in the room.
"Young Master!"
Jiang Kuo was writing in front of the desk, and only raised his head after a while.
"Uncle Jiang, do you have anything to say?"
Steward Jiang looked at him with a thousand words in his eyes.
His lips moved, and he hesitated for a long time before asking, "Why did the young master do this?"
"Do you mean to let Mr. Zheng serve Niannian?"
"Yes. ”
"Shen Rui has taken a fancy to her, and I promised Shen Governor to check for him, so naturally he has to be closer to observe. ”
Quibble.
Steward Jiang's heart was excited, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Jiang Kuo say: "Uncle Jiang, you have worked really hard in Jiang Mansion for so many years. ”
Steward Jiang's heart was stunned.
"Now, Uncle Jiang is in his fifties, and he should retire for the rest of his life. ”
Steward Jiang stood in place with his mouth open, speechless for a long time.
"Yue'er, go to the account room to settle some silver for Steward Jiang. In addition, I gave Uncle Jiang the title deed of my big house in the western suburbs, and Uncle Jiang will recuperate there for the rest of his life. ”
When he said this, he was a little moved, and continued: "Food and clothing, wherever you can use silver, Uncle Jiang just speaks. Uncle Jiang has stayed in Jiangfu all his life, and he has no heirs, I am your son, you don't have to be polite. ”
Steward Jiang is indeed old, and the old man's feelings are very fragile.
He listened to these soft and hard words, and listened to this young master who he had watched grow up since he was a child, and he was actually driving him out......
Instant old tears.
He said, "Since the young master said that he is my son, please ask the young master to listen to my advice." ”
Jiang Kuo turned around and left his back to him, but he didn't stop it after all.
Steward Jiang burst into tears and said, "Young Master, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, and I know that it is not easy for you to come to this point. When you were a child, the old lady sent you far away to the capital, forcing you to learn literature and not martial arts, and later fought with you for many years in order to prevent you from finding the girl you liked...... Have you ever thought about it, my lord only has such a son as you, why did he treat you like this?"
