Chapter 32: The Loser

Approaching noon, everyone took their own selected jewelry and went back, Wan Ying left Wanting to eat in the Treasure Pavilion, and before she started, she saw Aunt Gui Zhi in the aunt's room, and brought a few little maids to invite Wanting home. Wanting always plays for a full day every time, and today is only noon, of course she refuses to go home.

Aunt Guizhi persuaded each other hard, and asked Aunt Lin and Wanying to persuade Wanting to go home, but Wanying couldn't and could only persuade Wanting to go home.

Seeing that Wan Ting was still unfinished and crying with her little face, Wan Ying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Come back tomorrow, I'll let the kitchen make your favorite dim sum." ”

Wan Ting was nostalgic for playing chess with Wan Ying in the afternoon, nodded reluctantly and agreed, followed Aunt Gui Zhi, and returned to Dongfu from the path between the two courtyards.

closed the small wooden doors on both sides, dropped the locks on his side, and the little maid in the courtyard also locked the locks of the middle house. Walking into her back garden, Aunt Guizhi began to chatter: "My little ancestor, I didn't see you early in the morning, so I knew that you went to your second uncle's house again." ”

"Auntie, my embroidery head hurts, and I embroider these Laoshzi every day, which is boring and tight. Come out and relax, and look at you, chasing so closely. ”

"Ancestor, your father is angry."

"Daddy is angry, what are you looking for me? Didn't I make him angry? ”

"Ting'er, my son, why isn't it you?"

"What's wrong with me, when I saw my father last night, I was still fine, and I haven't seen him today, how can I make him angry?"

"It's still stubborn! Later, the master will be angry, and I won't protect you. ”

"Good lady, why don't you tell me why my father is angry?"

"Isn't it a good thing you've done?"

"I didn't do anything wrong, did I?" Wanting was so anxious to stand still. The long eyelashes were cut in fear, and two strings of crystal tears fell down the cheeks along the corners of the eyes.

Aunt Guizhi turned around, grabbed Wanting and said, "Ting'er, hurry up, your father is really angry." ”

The golden wind at noon warmly hit Wanting's immature face, and a frightened pear blossom brought rain, and she was in a trance of the lonely autumn.

"Auntie, what the hell are you telling me, what happened?"

Aunt Ruichun put her ear close to Wanting and said, "You just bought three pieces of jewelry by yourself?" ”

Wanting nodded ignorantly, not knowing what was wrong with this.

"Little Ancestor, do you know how much those three pieces of jewelry cost?"

Still ignorant, Wanting shook her head.

Aunt Guizhi's eyebrows and nose were almost wrinkled together, smacked her lips, and said, "2500 taels, the master is already angry." Hurry up and come with me, and go and make a compensatory deal with the master, right? ”

When Wanting heard that this was the case, she put away the panic just now, her father has always felt sorry for herself, only three pieces of jewelry, and she didn't know if her father was really angry, and it was not known if it was Aunt Guizhi who lied when she went home to embroider. Since he had already arrived at his house, he still followed Aunt Guizhi and hurried back to the main courtyard. As soon as I entered the Weeping Flower Gate, I heard my father shouting in my mother's hall: "Why haven't you come back?" ”

Wanting ran in, and when she opened the curtain, she was a little timid, but she still went in hard.

As soon as she entered the hall, Mrs. Shi Boyuan hurriedly came over, grabbed Wanting, and asked anxiously: "These three pieces of jewelry, did you choose them yourself at your second uncle's house?" ”

Wan Tingruo nodded earnestly. Scanning the hall, the three elder brothers, one elder brother and two younger brothers born to their aunt, were all standing in the hall one by one.

Shi Boyuan looked at Wanting and nodded, and slapped it on the square table in the middle of the hall, and the gaiwan teacup shook back and forth. said in his mouth: "Look at the good girl you raised, you are not angry with me, and you are not reconciled!" ”

Wanting has been pampered by her father since she was a child, although she occasionally made her father angry, but it was the first time she had seen a thunderous anger like today, but after thinking about it, it was just a few pieces of jewelry, and her father was really not worth being angry like this. Relying on his mother to protect himself now, he straightened his head and said, "Daddy, it's just a few strings of jewelry, why is Daddy so angry?" After saying that, he was also so aggrieved that he couldn't do it, and two strings of clear tears kept surging out.

When Shi Boyuan heard this, he was even more annoyed, he worked hard to support this family with only empty shelves, but he didn't expect that his children would lose more than one another. I feel bitter in my heart, but I am afraid that if I can't close my eyes, this family business will be lost in the hands of these children.

Although 2500 taels is not a huge number, but it is not what it used to be, Shao Nan got married in the first half of the year, but after a month, Shao Nan drank and made trouble, and accidentally injured the eldest son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the other party falsely accused 100,000 taels of silver, and finally settled down with 30,000 taels. Without the fertile land on the edge of the Yellow River to collect rent, in the past few years, the mountains have been empty every year, and this year, the grange on the outskirts of Beijing has been affected again.

Several sons are not successful, and Wanting has no money to spend. For the sake of 2,500 taels to admonish Wanting, Shi Boyuan really couldn't bear it in his heart, but if he didn't take Wanting under the knife, a few losers in the future would not be even more fearless. simply took advantage of today's events to teach a lesson to these unsuccessful sons. Otherwise, in the future, they will say that they are biased. Looking at Wanting, who was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, and thinking of the rich and noble situation in the past, she couldn't bear it in her heart, and picked up the tea at hand.

I only listened to the eldest young master of Shi Boyuan, and Jiao'er Lang said locally: "Daddy, don't act in this play for your sons." ”

Shi Boyuan wanted to drink tea, but there was only tea stalks left in the teacup, no tea, and when he heard his son say such sad words, it was really ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, ten thousand fires burning his heart, and he smashed the teacup in his hand on the ground.

Mrs. Shi hugged Wanting, and both of them were taken aback, especially Wanting, thinking that her father was so angry with her because of a few pieces of jewelry, she was so frightened that she cried. Mrs. Shi was afraid that Wanting would cry and anger Master Shi, so she tightly held Wanting Lou in her arms and whispered into Wanting Ing's ear: "Don't cry." ”

Shi Boyuan smashed the teacup, raised his eyes to look at his eldest son, the more he looked at it, the more unpleasant it became, the more unpleasant he became, and in desperation, two lines of turbid tears came down from the corners of his eyes. Just endure the bitterness in my heart. So far, Shi Boyuan only feels that he is a nest, causing the children to suffer with him.
