In the hot summer, at noon, on the sparkling boat back to Beijing on the Grand Canal, Chief Steward Du was having dinner with a few stewards, and a steward surnamed Huang whispered during the banquet: "Chief Steward, we really don't care about the old lady?" ”

The chief manager smiled and swallowed the chopsticks squirrel fish, chewed it slowly, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "What's the matter?" That's the old lady of the family, and it has nothing to do with our family! ”

Seeing that the yellow steward still had something to say, and the other stewards, some people pulled him, and some people wanted to speak, so the chief steward glanced at them and saw that they were looking down by themselves, so he opened his mouth to admonish.

"Don't make nonsense, you think that you are a little decent in front of the old lady, and you are messing around with nonsense, and the decisions made by the masters are not something we can do."

Several stewards blushed a little, because when they left Cuiluan City, the Du clan couldn't get to the head of Du, and they couldn't get to Du Yunxun's brothers, so they turned to them, and naturally the people sent by the Dawan clan were indispensable.

Steward Huang and the general manager are distant relatives, relying on this identity, they are very bold to accept the silver money given by Da Wan's henchman, and want to mediate from it, so as to make a small fortune, he will be fine, after all, Da Wan's crime is not a trivial matter, just take people's money and people to eliminate disasters, he is just a small person, help to say two good words, success, he is lucky, no, it is Da Wan's fate to fail.

I didn't want to say that, but I was blocked back by the chief manager, the yellow steward was full of red, and he couldn't speak, and the other stewards saw that the chief steward treated him like this, and they wouldn't think about going up to be bored anymore. He hurried to catch up, and those who had never dealt with him couldn't help but laugh a few words behind.

When the chief manager heard it in the cabin, he just shook his head secretly, called the little servant, and took the account book used for the past few days, and he wanted to reconcile the accounts.

In the cabin on the other side. Du Yun used to eat. He frowned at the medicine bowl brought by the maid.

"Big brother, let's drink it obediently! Anyway, I've been drinking it for so many days, and I should get used to the bitterness of this medicine. Du Yunxun sat by the window. The subordinates kept sketching down the scenery outside.

Du Yunqi sighed lightly, after all, he still took the bowl, tried the temperature first, and saw that it was palatable. After drinking it in one go, the maids offered water again. Waiting for him to rinse his mouth, he retreated.

"You've been painting for days, and you don't take a break." Walking to his younger brother's side, Du Yunqi leaned over and took the booklet that Du Yunxun put beside him to read. The charcoal painted scenery is monochrome, but vivid. It makes people feel like seeing the riverside scenery in person.

Waterfowl glide across the calm water and rise again. The fish on their claws are struggling to be born, the cargo ships shuttling between the big ships to do small business, the merchants on the ships bargain with the guests, the boatmen coming and going on the cargo ships, the handymen carrying the warehouses on the docks, and the richly dressed sons of the family who pass by surrounded by slaves.

Du Yunqi slowly flipped through them one by one, and when Du Yunxun felt heavy on his shoulders and turned his head to look, he found that his brother was asleep leaning on his shoulder.

Sighing and putting down the things in his hand, he raised his voice to call someone to come in to help, and after placing his eldest brother on the bed, Liu Chao watched Su Dalang and Wang Bao withdraw, and then asked, "Second young master, why does the eldest young master sleep all the time?" ”

"He's tired, let him sleep as much as he can if he can, turn around and tell them Baili, when the eldest young master is resting, no one needs to go in and make noise, if anyone wants to go in, just report it directly to the chief manager, let him sell people, just say I said it."

Du Yunqi now has no woman in the inner house, and those maids inevitably moved their minds, seeing that as long as the eldest brother came to him, he would fall asleep after a while, which showed that he was panicked, or why did they all sleep here with him?

His eldest brother has a good temper and will not lose his temper with these maids, but he is tired of himself, what a bother.

Liu Chao nodded, and asked again: "Second Young Master, aren't we going to see the Third Young Master?" ”

"He is recuperating in Guangling, and he is taken care of by his second uncle and wife, what is there to see?" Du Yunxun sat back by the window, picked up the booklet and finished the interrupted painting.

Liu Chao originally saw that when he was in Beijing, the second young master treated the third young master quite well, so he mentioned it, and when he saw the second young master say this, he didn't say much, think about it, the second young master and Mrs. Du have never dealt with each other, and they can treat the third young master with courtesy, that's for the sake of the eldest master!

However, Mrs. Du calculated her stepsons in every way, but she didn't expect her son to be calculated by her nephew in the end, is this retribution? Mrs. Du is already crazy and paralyzed, even if she knows that her precious son was made like this by Wan Gongzi, what can she do?

Liu Chao got up to find Du Yunqi's little guys, and only halfway down the road, he heard a few people who didn't know what they were arguing about, he frowned and looked down, and saw that it was a few stewards, so he retracted his head and listened a little, after hearing the content of their quarrel, he couldn't help frowning and ran back to complain to Du Yunxun.

Du Yunxun didn't care, "Go back and tell the chief manager, that Huang Steward, I remember that he and the chief manager are distant relatives?" ”

There is always an intricate relationship between the children of the family, even if the chief manager is the grandfather's confidant, it is inevitable that there will be a few relatives who pull their hind legs, and when they encounter this kind of unobtrusive relatives, you don't care, there will inevitably be some gossip between relatives, but if you really make a move, you are afraid that the other party will not know the importance of pulling your own hind legs, which is really difficult to grasp.

However, if you take Dawan's money and want to help her say good things, you have to be mentally prepared that if something bad happens, you will also be implicated.

He didn't know that Chief Steward Du had already warned them about a few of them.

When Mr. Du learned from Liu Chao that his good relative still wanted to go to the old lady to intercede for Dawan's mother and son after returning to Beijing, he laughed angrily.

"Who does he think he is? I really thought that my face was so big, he dared to control the old lady's face, do you still want me to keep him? The Grand Steward smiled and shook his head.

Liu Chao smiled stupidly, that Huang Steward usually relied on being a distant relative of the chief manager, bullying people in the mansion and taking advantage of others, maybe it was because of this that he thought that he was no worse than the chief manager Du in front of the old lady.

"What are the other stewards arguing with him?"

"Steward Huang said that he had already distributed the money to them and asked them to help them speak, but the stewards refused, saying that they wanted to return the money to him, and Steward Huang cursed."

The chief manager bowed his jaw and touched his head, "Thank you so much." ”

Liu Chao smiled shyly, and told Du Yunxun what he had explained, and the chief manager nodded, "I know, I'll call the people who are waiting for the eldest young master over in a while, the eldest young grandmother has just passed away, and the eldest young master has to keep filial piety!" If these maids have any thoughts and ruin the reputation of the eldest young master, it will not be good. ”

The chief manager asked people to call people, and Liu Chao slipped away when he saw that there was nothing to do with him.

I don't know how the chief manager disposed of it, in the next trip, Liu Chao never saw the yellow steward again, and the maids who waited for Du Yunqi and the chief manager named him to solemnly instruct him were also honest and safe, Du Yunqi was finally able to rest peacefully in his room, and he didn't have to be quarreled with all the time!

Within a few days, the two brothers returned to the capital.

As soon as I got off the boat, I heard a big gossip, and I heard that the daughter of King Lu was not dead at all! Because someone saw her in the southwest, King Lu's Mansion immediately sent someone to find out, and the Fuyang Marquis Mansion sent Yang Dalang's brothers to check it out.

This news was released by King Lu Shizi, to pave the way for his daughter's return in the future, and the people he sent out have traced down the person who bought Chu Mingxin, but I heard that the person's wife is a jealous woman, seeing that Chu Mingxin is beautiful, has an extraordinary temperament, and is versatile, I am worried that if my husband really takes someone into the house, will he still have his own foothold in the future?

Therefore, he threw Chu Mingxin out and left her to fend for herself!

Mrs. Shizi was very angry and wanted to teach the couple a lesson, but Shizi stopped her, "The important thing at the moment is to get the daughter back, to clean up the couple, there will be opportunities in the future." ”

Oh, yes! My daughter's whereabouts are still unknown!

What about people? Where the hell is it? Mrs. Shizi wept sadly when she thought about it, and the crying made the county lord of Xiuning upset, and she couldn't help but complain to her mother, "Sister-in-law cries and cries all day long, and I don't know how to restrain myself, my father is not dead yet!" She's howling all day long! ”

Princess Lu was already exhausted from taking care of her seriously ill husband, if it weren't for Chu Jingshu's help, she would have collapsed a long time ago! It's just that the only daughter will only cause trouble for her, Chu Mingxin will end up with today's whereabouts unknown, isn't it her daughter who made it behind her back?

Yes, is it Chu Ming's willfulness that wants to take away his husband and fight for a husband with a fool, is it glorious to say it? Princess Lu felt embarrassed just thinking about it, but this granddaughter really did it, and the reason why she was so bold and willful was not instigated by Xiuning!

Originally, she was just suspicious, but later she forced Chu Jingxian to ask it, only to know that this qiē was actually made by her baby daughter, just to block her sister-in-law!

What a stupid girl!

She didn't want to think about it, her father was old, maybe he would go that day with a kick, who would she rely on when the time came? The queen mother in the palace? Didn't you see that the Queen Mother was hemiplegic? Or yourself? The prince was born by the concubine, but she was not born, when she entered the door, the prince was going to get married, and he had no grace to have children, and after he inherited the title, how much tolerance could he have for his sister who was reborn?

The daughter didn't want to be friends with her eldest sister-in-law, but instigated her daughter to do such a ridiculous thing, just for her sister-in-law to be at home, she couldn't get any benefits?

Princess Lu deeply regretted that she did not teach her daughter well when she was young.

Seeing that her mother didn't care about herself, the county lord of Xiuning snorted coldly and turned her head, and saw the stunning girl standing behind Princess Lu, she was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, "What are you doing here?" ”

"What are you doing to her? You left her with me and ignored her, and now you care what she does? ”

The county lord of Xiuning has been scolded by his mother like this since he was a child, and he is still in front of her illegitimate daughter, who is regarded as the biggest stain on her life, this shame and shame made the county lord of Xiuning red-eyed, and he didn't pay attention to what her mother said, and stepped forward and slapped Chu Jingshu.
