Chapter 3 A Second Brother Fell from the Sky
The Infantry Army Commander Yamen, the full name is "Admiral Nine Gate Infantry Army Commander Yamen", which is in charge of the defense of the 49 cities. Guan Zhuofan was very satisfied, and felt that this position was better than the Eight Banners Jingying, which was going to be slashed and killed outside the city.
Carrying the four-color gift given by Mrs. Katsubo, he simply hired a sedan chair and returned to Shoubi Hutong in a leisurely manner. I got off the sedan chair and developed the bounty of the two sedan chair drivers, knocked on the door, and thought that I should repaint the two dilapidated doors when I had time.
The door opened, but he saw that Tuber who opened the door looked worried, and before he could ask, Tuber said in the direction of the inner courtyard, "Here we go again." With that, he sighed.
What's coming again? Looking at the way Tuber looked, it seemed that if he said "here again", he should understand. Suddenly, my heart tightened: Could it be that the British are here again? At that moment, he strode into the inner courtyard.
There was no shadow of an Englishman in the courtyard, only in the main hall, Bai accompanied a man and a woman sitting and talking. Guan Zhuofan hesitated, but walked over, after all, it could be seen from the expression on Tubo's face that it was not a good thing.
Walking into the main hall, I saw that Bai's beauty was slightly frowning, silent, and I didn't know what I was thinking. In addition, a man and a woman, the man was wearing a placket coat, looking less than thirty years old, quite handsome, but his face was sallow, and he was sitting with a big thorn, looking a little scoundrel, but he didn't know Weishenme, Guan Zhuofan looked at him, and he always had a sense of déjà vu. The female is only twenty-five or sixteen, plump, and not ugly, looking at Bai with disdain. When the three of them saw him walk in suddenly, they were all stunned, and Bai Shi whispered "Zhuo Fan", and then stopped silent.
"Third child, are you back?" The man was still sitting like that, only glanced at Guan Zhuofan, nodded, said hello, and then turned to stare at Bai: "You always drag it like this, and you can't hide it." What the hell is going on, say something early! ”
Third? Guan Zhuofan said in his heart: It's very affectionate, so I should know him? But I can't remember who he is, and I don't know how I have that feeling of knowing him. had to answer vaguely, looking at Bai, hoping that she could speak and let herself understand what was going on.
However, in the end, it was Tubo who broke the silence, he stood outside the door, and couldn't help muttering: "Second young master, why do you always come to force the eldest grandmother, when the master divided the family for you, didn't he tell all of you that it was good?" ”
Second young master? Guan Zhuofan was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly realized: I said how can I call Guan San, it turns out that the eldest brother is dead, and there is a second brother waiting for me here! As for the feeling of déjà vu, of course, it is because of the somewhat similar face to his own face, and what his face looks like, I have only seen it a few times in the bronze mirror - ridiculously speaking, I don't remember it very deeply.
The woman looked at Tuber and said angrily, "Tuber, you don't need to assign their brother's affairs, right?" How dare you not help the Guan family, but help outsiders to speak? ”
"Hey, how can you be an outsider......" Tuber shook his head, sighed, and squatted down without squeaking.
Guan Zhuofan understands that this is a matter of family contention. It is not clear what exactly is being fought for and for what reason, so I dare not speak rashly. And his second brother and sister-in-law, as if he didn't exist, just spoke to the Bai family.
"It's good to split up, but when we split up, my eldest brother was still there." His second brother was still half leaning back in the chair and said lazily, "You didn't leave a son and a half daughter for the Guan family, but now it's okay, and you brought your own sister, I don't understand, is this the Guan family or the Bai family?" ”
"Zhuo Ren, that's not what I said." Bai finally spoke again, but his voice was very calm, without a trace of cringe, nor a trace of anger, "When the family was separated, the master said that the house on Wicker Street is for you, and it belongs to us and Zhuo Fan to live in." If Zhuo Fan marries a daughter-in-law in the future, the two of us should pay for him to buy a house together, isn't that what you said? ”
The second sister-in-law sneered contemptuously next to her and said, "Say it lightly, as if you can afford to pay for it." ”
"If you can afford it, that's originally my business." Bai Shi pushed back with a word. "But brother and sister, since you said so, I will also put a sentence here, I don't have the money to buy a house for Zhuo Fan. If he marries, this courtyard will be given to him, and Xiao Yun and I only need one house to live in, I am willing! If he still refuses, I'll move out!" But this is my business with Zhuo Fan, don't worry about you brother and sister. But the half of the money you should pay, I don't know if there is one? Zhuo Fan has been a soldier in the past two years, but his money and food have been received by Zhuo Ren, have you used it, or are you going to return it to him? ”
Only then did Guan Zhuofan know that his share of money and food under his banner was taken by this second brother. No wonder Bai's life is so difficult, the last time she asked, she gave herself a strange look. He looked at the two so-called second brothers and sisters-in-law, and his heart was secretly angry, thinking that the two of you are not satisfied with this, and you still want to seize the house here, is it too ruthless?
"Zhuo Fan's money, I saved it for him, don't give me nonsense!" The second brother Zhuo Ren was a little inward-looking, glanced at Guan Zhuofan, and then continued: "Besides, you don't use Zhuo Fan to fool me!" When he sees you, he stare at you in a daze and can't walk away, others don't know, I don't know? ”
"You...... You ......" Bai blushed with anger. Zhuo Ren's words were too ugly, but they were telling the truth, which made her difficult to argue.
"Third child, I can tell you," Zhuo Ren turned his head to look at Guan Zhuofan, "She is your sister-in-law, you don't have to think about anything, don't you still expect her to pass on your ancestry?" Stop thinking about this as soon as possible, listen to the second brother, she moves out, let's give her a settling-in fee, and the rest of the house, we will split it half, or you and I will do it, we are brothers, so let's discuss. ”
When this kind of thing is said, it can be regarded as bullying people to get home, Bai, as a woman, couldn't open her mouth to argue at all, and finally cried when she was blocked, stood up, covered her face and ran out of the hall.
Guan Zhuofan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, grabbed her arm with one hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I haven't spoken yet, why don't you leave after listening." "Do a good job, press Bai Shi into a chair and sit down. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he handed over the gift he was carrying.
"By the way, sister-in-law, this is Katsuho-sama's wife, and I have asked you a few things."
The second brother's outstretched leg suddenly retracted, and the person sat up straight in the chair.
The second sister-in-law's face, which was sneering disdainfully, suddenly froze and changed to an embarrassed smile with difficulty.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law," Guan Zhuofan looked at them in turn with a grin, "This British devil has just withdrawn, but you have come to the door." ”
"Third brother, what are you talking about...... second brother Zhuo Ren frowned, and just spoke, but was interrupted by Guan Zhuofan.
"Second brother, I've probably been used to it since I was a child, and you don't take me seriously at all," Guan Zhuofan stared at his "second brother" tightly, "Now that you can use me, you think of me again, you think I'm so foolish, right?" I've been in for so long, and this is the third time you've seen me...... I'm not done yet, you dare to interject and try! ”
This roar frightened Zhuo Ren, who was about to rush to speak, and looked at him, the third brother, who didn't even dare to fart in front of him since he was a child. The second sister-in-law didn't dare to say anything, and looked at him with a cower.
"I'm out there to herd my horses, and I'm doing a bloody job. The guns of the foreign soldiers on Baliqiao didn't kill me, the foreign guns didn't kill me, I came back from Guan San, and I just wanted to live a stable life. You are my second brother and sister-in-law, and I will say three words to you. After a pause, he continued: "First, if I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I don't need you to pay for me to buy a house." Second, take my share of my food and money, and I don't want a penny of money. ”
Speaking of this, he stopped again and accentuated his tone: "Third, this home, this house, is not mine, nor yours, but hers." He pointed to Bai Shi, who was sitting in the chair and looked at him blankly, "If you want to bully her, you really don't deserve it, and you really can't afford to bully." Am I clear? Today, she let you, if you run to say those unblemire bastards next time, you will regret it for the rest of your life, believe it or not? If you don't accept it, just try it. ”
When he finished speaking, Zhuo Ren looked at him hesitantly, looking like he wanted to speak but didn't dare to say it.
Guan Zhuofan raised his hand: "Second brother and sister-in-law, please go back, don't send it." ”
Seeing the two of them walk out in embarrassment, he exhaled and turned to look at Bai. Bai Shi saw that he had a stormy attack just now, and he forgot to cry unconsciously, and persuaded him faintly: "Zhuo Fan, you are helping me, sister-in-law sees your love." But it's your brother in the end, and you're a little bit fierce......"
Guan Zhuofan shook his head and said with a smile: "What kind of brother is he?" ”
There is still a sentence that has not been said: What kind of sister-in-law are you to me?
