Chapter 156: A robbery?
Huanli stuck out her tongue and took the little milk bag from Yunshu's arms.
"It's okay, a combination of work and rest." Yun Shu still looked at the little milk bag and smiled.
"I haven't been taking care of my son for the past few months, and I've seen that my son has lost so much weight. It can be seen that the people around you are not well taken care of. Mother Gui looked at Yun Shu's skinny face and said distressedly. Use this cup of bird's nest quickly. ”
Yun Shu took the bird's nest and said with a smile: "I have more food now than before, but the amount of exercise has also increased greatly, so I haven't seen fat, it's not that they don't take good care of it." ”
Mother Gui looked at Yun Shu's thin little hands and said worriedly, "How can it be good to be thin like this?" Mr. Yan, isn't he distressed? ”
"My father-in-law was also worried that I was not normal in my thinness, but there was nothing wrong with pressing my pulse. Mother Gui doesn't have to worry. ”
Gui's mother couldn't help but take the handkerchief and press the corner of her eye. In the past half a year, she has grown a lot, but compared with the happiness and happiness of her own family and the thinness and loneliness of Yunshu, she feels that she can't stand the kindness of her former mother.
"Ziyun stayed in the city to get married, and there was no one around the son to take care of him, can he still say yes? This time, Huanli and I didn't go back, and we followed Childe to take care of it. Be sure to fatten your son. ”
Ziyun looked embarrassed when she heard this.
Yun Shu said: "I insisted that Ziyun stay in the city to prepare for marriage, and she didn't have her mother and elders to teach her, so I asked Bai Xiang to teach her by the side." I live in the village, and I have Ying Niang and Hua Niang to serve me, and they are all right. Besides, Gui's mother still has this little milk bag to take care of, and Huanli should stay by your side to help. ”
"Taking care of the son is the most important thing, nothing else matters." Gui's mother insisted.
Yun Shu's heart warmed, "I bought two girls and ten boys from the Grange, all of whom are orphans, and they are now being raised in the village. If Gui's mother doesn't worry about me, she will teach these children the rules for me. In this way, when Gui's mother is away, there is no need to worry that I have no one to take care of me. ”
"It's okay to teach the rules, but..."
"Doesn't Mother Gui believe in herself? I really believe in Gui's mother's skills! "Steward Meng and Gui's mother have long been free bodies, and Huan Li has also been free since birth, but they are the same age as themselves, and they have been with them since childhood, and Yun Shu really doesn't want to break up their family.
"Then I'll teach you. If it doesn't work, I'll still have to stay and take care of my son. Gui Zhi could see that Yun Shu was not alienated from his family, but he couldn't bear to break up his family of four, and his concern for Yun Shu became more and more deep.
"Then let's try." Yun Shu put down the bird's nest, "Ziyun, you go and tell Yun Qi that I have prepared the New Year's goods, and invite my father-in-law and master to go back to the city for the New Year, and by the way, bring those twelve little guys, oh, as well as Ying Niang and Hua Niang." ”
"Yes."
After Ziyun went out, Huan Li continued: "Childe, our little milk bag doesn't have a name yet, so I want to come back and ask Childe to give one?" ”
Yunshu looked at Katsura's mother. Gui's mother said: "The son is talented, just give one!" ”
Yunshu smiled, "Okay. Huanli was born in the spring, and it is said that the pear blossoms outside the window that day were very beautiful and elegant, so her mother named her Huanli. This little milk bag was born in a bright and hopeful morning, called Huanchen, okay? ”
"Huan Chen? Sounds good! Huanli said excitedly.
Gui's mother also smiled: "It's good, it's good!" ”
"Xiao Huanchen, do you like the name?" Yunshu nodded the cheek of the little milk bag, and the little milk bag laughed again. "Oh, you like the name!"
Yunshu raised his head, "Mother Gui, you have also seen that elder brother who lives in Fenghua Courtyard. ”
Mother Gui's mind flashed Yu Hong's handsome and cold face, "I have seen it, but I have seen it, but, childe, childe, after all, it is a daughter, and I am afraid that it is not good to live in the same courtyard with a foreign man." ”
"I know Katsura's mother's concerns. It's just that this house is too big and there are too few people, and Brother Hong doesn't worry about me, so he lives in the front yard wing, in fact, to take care of me. What I want to say is that Brother Hong treats me very well, I treat him as an elder brother, and when I prepare these for me in the future, I will prepare an extra copy for Brother Hong. When my stepfather and my master came, it was the same. ”
Yun Shu has said all this, and Gui's mother can't question it anymore. "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely take care of them. I just said, Childe still needs me to take care of him. ”
"Yes, Mother Gui has taken care of me for all these years, so she is naturally more handy, but our little Huanchen also needs Mother Gui!" The more Yun Shu looked at the little milk bag, the more he liked it.
A year ago, the accounting office was finally counted. Yun Shu saw the final account book, the business results of the library pavilion in the past two years were gratifying, and the Yishengtang also developed well under Xue Yu's management. Yun Shu was very happy, so he chartered the best restaurant in the city, and all the stewards, bookkeepers, men, and domestic servants went to celebrate, and sent out New Year's red envelopes and rewards in advance.
After the celebration, Yunshu gave twenty days of vacation, and the stewards hurried to their homes, hoping to be able to celebrate the New Year with their families.
After experiencing more than 20 days of excitement in the cloud house, it fell silent again until the firecrackers exploded on Chinese New Year's Eve.
On the first Chinese New Year's Eve without a father or mother, the door of the ancestral hall was opened, the candles were shining, the offerings were full, and the small cloud tree was alone to incense the ancestors of the Yun family.
There is also a small ancestral hall in the cloud house in the capital. In the past, she was a little girl, in the ancestral hall, she either stood quietly or kowtowed obediently, but now she is one of the prayers, sacrificial wine, incense, and bowing.
She is the pillar of the Yun family, and the sense of responsibility that arises from this makes Yun Shu's steps slow and heavy when he comes out.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the servants of the Yun Mansion lined up to greet Yun Shu, and Yun Qi and Yun Fan distributed red envelopes in turn.
There are dozens of servants in the cloud house, and this year can't be said to be not lively, but it is a little heavy for Yunshu, and the auspicious words of the servants who pay New Year's greetings only flew down Yunshu's ears.
Chinese New Year's Eve was supposed to keep the New Year, but Yun Shu was not interested and hid in the study to read.
That night, Yun Shu's only warm memory is that his father-in-law, master, and brother Hong gathered in the study, and what should have been a vigil and gossip turned into preaching and teaching, answering questions, and solving doubts. The bell rang and the firecrackers exploded in the city, and supper was added to the study.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Steward Meng took the earthen ceremony prepared by Yunshu for the people in Beijing, as well as the apprentices, and set off to return to Beijing, just in time for the opening of Yishengtang after the Lantern Festival.
For the marriage of Yunfan and Ziyun in April, Gui's mother and Huanli stayed to help, and by the way, they helped Yunshu to train the little guys.
Yun Shu originally wanted Yun Fan to stay and take care of his marriage, but Steward Yun insisted that he go back to Beijing and learn from Steward Meng, and when the time comes, he can come back and get married, and he doesn't have to worry about anything. Yunshu had no choice but to give in.
Yunshu's economics tutorial has not yet been completed, and I can't leave. Yan Shizhen brought out some treasured medical books from the library, but he didn't bring the manuscripts he wrote himself, so he couldn't sit still all day long, and he didn't have the intention of playing. After the Lantern Festival, he returned to the village with Xin Tanzhi, leaving Yu Hong to take care of Yunshu.
Seeing off their father-in-law and master, Yun Shu and Yu Hong walked slowly to the city.
Yunshu didn't have anything to say, "It's warm." ”
"Hmm."
"Other people's families like to celebrate the New Year's holidays, and they are busy studying, researching, operating, and making money when they come to us, are we more worldly, or are other people's families more worldly?"
"They are all worldly people, and their hearts are different."
Yun Shu wanted to ask him what he was concerned about, but when he raised his eyes and saw that on the official road to the north, three fast horses were galloping over, but he asked himself what he was concerned about?
Yes, she hoped that there would be someone on this official road, and that person came to see her. I think it's funny, it takes 20 days to travel back and forth in the capital, and how can I have the time to visit relatives, friends, and teachers during the New Year? The family was afraid and worried about him coming. It's going to be over next year, so how can you spend time on it?
Although he thought clearly, he couldn't help but have some little obsessions, and he stopped talking at the moment, just staring at the three fast horses and saying something.
Yu Hong couldn't hear what she was talking about, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her, seeing that Yun Shu's face was getting more and more excited, and he followed her gaze and looked at the three fast horses.
The first man immediately had a dark green cloak fluttering in the wind, fluttering behind him, the sky and the earth were depressed, the dark green was very eye-catching, and closer, it could be seen that the person was not tall, like a young man, and his black hair was flying high and low.
The man's body leaned forward slightly, his eyebrows and eyes could not be distinguished, Yu Hong squinted his eyes to distinguish, like a handsome white-faced scholar, and the two behind him looked like servants.
"Mei'er, what are you looking at?" Yu Hong quipped.
"Hmm. Look at the man. Yun Shutou didn't look back, pointing to the man on the official road.
"What's so nice about that man?"
"Well, it's good." Yun Shu can't even speak.
"What's pretty?"
"It's all good-looking."
Seeing that Yun Shu was already excited, Yu Hong smiled secretly in his heart: Could it be that this little girl likes white-faced scholars?
"Seeing that he is also going to the city, do you want to stop him and rob him?"
"Uh, uh, hmm? Rob? Yun Shu suddenly came back to his senses and exclaimed, "Brother Hong? You've ever been a road robber before? ”
"Nope. But there's a first time for everything. Do you want to try it? Maybe it's interesting. ”
Yun Shu's mouth widened in shock, in recent days, when the master and stepfather were not there, her elder brother refreshed his understanding of him again and again. Bold, careful, alert, and decisive, he has all the qualities in Yun Shu's heart about his brother. As long as she can convince him, there is nothing he does not dare to do.
Rob? Yun Shu believed that if Brother Hong wanted to do it, even if it was near the Ten Mile Pavilion outside Jiyang City, he would still be able to do it without leaving the slightest trace. Robbery is not for property, in Brother Hong's heart, I am afraid that it is regarded as a kind of experience.
Under normal circumstances, Yu Hong treats people coldly, and others can only see his difference by chance. For example, in front of Xin Tanzhi, he was more respectful and filial, Yan Shizhen had heard his half-joking wild words, and Li Zhuying's family had seen his eloquence and good argumentation, and all three of them had seen his concern for Yunshu.
And Yun Shu, in addition to the above Yu Hong, has also seen his ruthlessness in making the bull's eye disappear, Zhang Ling knew what he was asking for before he could open his mouth, persuaded Shan Cheng's thoughtful planning, extremely rare smiles, occasionally teased her, and seemed to be fearless and daring! What he said to his father-in-law that day seemed to be a joke, but Yun Shu stubbornly believed that it was Yu Hong's heart, but she didn't tell anyone.
Therefore, Yun Shu couldn't tell if he was serious or joking at this moment?
