Volume 2 Childe Chapter 57 Confrontation
ο»Ώ
Chun Ying rushed to the curtain, and then heard a crisp slap, followed by the third young master's shout "......What are you doing" Before he finished speaking, it was another slap, but it was weaker than the previous one. She opened the curtain worriedly and looked out, but saw the second young master and the third young master facing each other, the former had his back to her, stretched out his palm and froze there, while the third young master stroked his right cheek, staring at his brother with both eyes, almost spewing fire.
This is...... Fighting? It's still the third young master who was beaten?! Chun Ying immediately had a bad premonition, and let people know that she let him be beaten when she followed the third young master out, did she still have good fruit to eat? She was anxious to go out, but Zhou Nian happened to turn her eyes at this time, made a look, shook her head again, and motioned her to go back.
Chunying was stunned for a moment, hesitated and hesitated, but quietly lowered the curtain and hid back in the bedroom. The third young master was beaten, but it was the second young master who beat her, how could she be stopped by a little girl? If the old lady and the lady knew that they were angry, and they were also scolding the young masters, they shouldn't have sent themselves down, right?
Li Chang and Li You were busy staring at each other, and they didn't notice Chunying, especially the former, who was panicking in their hearts.
He knows very well that although the old lady loves him, she also loves her younger brother, if he knows that he beat the third child, a reprimand is inevitable, if he is alienated from himself, then who else will support him? But as soon as he changed his mind, he felt resentment in his heart, obviously the old lady loved herself the most since she was a child, and her father also regarded herself as the hope of the Hou Mansion, and the whole family regarded herself as a baby, if it wasn't for the third child, why would she have made such an embarrassing field today? The third child is neither unlearned, but also knows how to pretend to be naΓ―ve and coax people at a young age, how can such a sinister and cunning child be up to the task?! How can he be willing to let this kind of person take away everything that originally belonged to him?!
It suddenly occurred to him that the scene in front of him should be. It can't be that the third child deliberately framed himself, right? There are only three people in the house, Zhou Nian has always been close to the third child, maybe they deliberately provoked him, forced him to do it, and then relied on the marks on the third child's face to sue, his father has always trusted Zhou Nian, if Zhou Nian and the third child insisted that they were making trouble by themselves, and beat them, the father would definitely misunderstand himself! Damn, the mother-in-law who came to report the news must have been bribed by the third child, and she also said that the third child sneakily brought the girl into the garden, and he must have done something bad and asked him to arrest people. Joke! He doesn't know what the third child is going to do when he comes in?!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, grinding his teeth and saying, "Okay, it turns out. That's the case, you deliberately set up a trick to calculate me...... Don't think you'll succeed! β
Li You laughed angrily: "Set up a set? What's the set?.Is it possible that I can still possess the second brother and let you beat me?! β
"You must have done it on purpose!" Li Chang suddenly stood up straight and tidied up. clothes, glanced disdainfully at the food box on the table, and sneered, "Don't think that grandmother and father will really believe you!" An official slave, it's good to be able to eat and drink well in our house, and stir up discord between our brothers all day long, even if my father sees that your father has a little friendship with our family, and doesn't care about you, he won't believe you anymore! I heard that you are planning to overturn the case for the Zhou family? I advise you to stop, that can't happen! He arched his hand into the air: "Today, the saint governs the country with filial piety, and Taishi Liang is even more disgusted by the rebellious ministers and thieves who use literature to disrupt the country, and will never let you take advantage of it!" β
Zhou Nian's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Second Young Master...... You don't talk too much. Excessively! "How could he slander his father like this?!
Li You glared at his brother and said, "Second brother, you said such a thing, but you put your father in the wrong place. Where?! If Zhou Shibo is a chaotic minister and thief, then what is his father who has been friends with him for decades?! β
Li Chang's face changed, and he said angrily: "Don't want to frame me again!" I'll tell my grandmother, you sneaked to see Zhou Nian again, see what she will say?! β
"Then you're going to sue? I'm not afraid! It's a big deal to take a few words of training, is it possible that my grandmother can still beat me?! But don't forget, if you hadn't come, you wouldn't have known I was there, and I'd like to hear what you have to say about beating me!" β
Seeing a hint of cringe flashing in Li Chang's eyes, Li You sneered, dusted off the non-existent dust on his sleeves, and said disdainfully: "There is just a sentence, I want to remind you." It's going to open next spring, and the second brother is not good at studying in the house, but wandering around in the cold is too big, right? I wonder what grandmother would think? What would the father think? Do you think you're going to be able to pass the exam? My brother advises you to put more effort into books, just a person's identity, and you will still suffer if you go out in the future, after all, you are not like me, you were born...... already has a high-ranking status......" He approached Li Chang and lowered his voice: "If you can really be admitted to the Jinshi, our Li family will also have a light on their faces, and when the family splits up in the future, I will give you a little more land, lest you have no money to support that aunt......" smiled, "And the aunt in your house!" β
Li Chang vigorously pushed him away, trembling with anger: "Okay...... Good! I'll remember your words today! Don't think I'll forget! Then he turned and left, kicking away the snow and mud along the way, and stepping on the bamboo fiercely, but accidentally kicked a stone, screamed in pain, turned around and glared at them hatefully, and threw off his sleeves and left.
Chun Ying watched him walk away from afar before jumping out: "Third Young Master, did he beat you?" Are there any injuries?! She circled around Li You, and saw that he was only a little red on his right cheek, thinking that she had only heard two slaps just now, and she was a little relieved, but thinking that the second young master could also do it to such a delicate and delicate Zhengtai, she was also angry: "What kind of person?!" It's still my brother! Diathesis! β
Li You blinked, coughed, turned his head to Zhou Nian and said, "Don't take his words to heart, he's just a fool, where do you know this, what your father wants to do, you know in your heart, and you will never change your mind because of a few words." β
Zhou Nian's face looked better, and he smiled reluctantly: "I naturally trust Master Hou." He calmed down a little before smiling: "It's just that you were too impulsive, so you said it directly, if he didn't care about the ground and did something, wouldn't it hurt you?" β
Li You sneered: "What can he do?" Don't say I underestimate him, he's just a thief with a thief heart and no guts! Hiss-" He touched his face: "The strength is really not small, I just hit him with a backhand by mistake, it hurts so much, you must not have been lightly slapped just now, right?" Why don't you hide?! β
Chun Ying was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Zhou Nian: "Young Master Nian, he also beat you just now?!" β
Zhou Nian smiled and said, "I didn't know that he would suddenly hit someone, so I didn't dodge it for a while, but it's nothing." Chun'er, on the bookshelf in my bedroom, there is a boxwood box with medicine in it, you can take it and wipe it for your young master, lest he go back and let people see it, it will be another turmoil. β
Chunying answered, hurriedly ran inside, rummaged through the bookshelves, and heard the conversation between the two outside: "What if people can see it?" Hengzhu is going to make trouble in front of his grandmother, and the more serious the injury, the more he proves his guilt? β
"I guess he won't be silent, and the old lady doesn't want you to come to me, and she doesn't want him to come. To be honest, our Zhou family was originally good friends with your house, and the old lady also loved me a lot when I was a child, but it was just because of my current identity, so it would be faint. Brother Chang should have worked hard in the study, but he came to me for trouble and beat you again, and he couldn't please the old lady in front of him. You are afraid that the old lady will know, he is more afraid than you, and when he goes back, most of them will not say it. If he doesn't say it, why should you let people know that you have suffered? β
"Well, I don't want to be taught by my grandmother again......"
Chunying found the box, opened it and saw that there were several bottles of medicine inside, as well as a small pair of copper scissors and a stack of clean white cloth, it must be the medicine box that Zhou Nian said, and hurriedly took it out, but when she wanted to give medicine to Li You, she was worried again: "Which bottle of medicine should I use?" β
Zhou Nian said: "The blue one is to reduce swelling, the white one is to stop bleeding, and the azure one has the effect of removing stasis." Brother Yu looks only a little red now, and it should be swollen after a while, so you can give him the blue bottle. β
Chunying hurriedly opened the stopper of the small blue porcelain bottle, took out a clean handkerchief, poured a little medicinal juice, and gently rubbed it on Li You's face. The latter hissed again, and she hurriedly removed her hand: "Does it hurt?" β
"It's stinging, it hurts more than hitting it!"
"Bear with me." Zhou Nian persuaded softly, "This medicine is very effective, I don't know where Sanqing got it, just rub a little, it can reduce the swelling in less than a quarter of an hour, and you can't see it from the outside." Later, you take it back, wipe it again in the afternoon and evening, and tomorrow will be fine. β
Li You reluctantly nodded, let Chunying continue to rub the medicine, and when it was over, let her rub it for Zhou Nian.
Zhou Nian took Chunying's handkerchief with a smile, and gave himself medicine very skillfully, without even looking in the mirror. Chunying wanted to praise him, but suddenly thought of a possibility: "Young Master...... How do you have these pills? It seems to be familiar...... Do you use it often?! β
Zhou Nian froze, smiled, slowly handed the handkerchief back to her, then got up and went to the bookshelf, silent.
Li You gritted his teeth and asked, "Does the second brother often come to beat you?!" Zhou Nian was silent, and he stood up angrily: "I thought he was just asking someone to deduct your use, and then occasionally come to ridicule you, but I didn't expect him to ...... You shouldn't have hidden it from me! Why didn't you tell my father and me?! β
Zhou Nian smiled bitterly: "Why bother...... You also know in your heart that Master Hou is ...... to you three brothers Very loved. He has always been worried about his defeat in the imperial examination, so he pinned his hopes on your brothers, Jing Ge'er is too late to enlighten, it's too late, and your mind is not on learning, only Brother Chang'er...... He has been able to read since he was a child, and he has been promoted again, Hou Ye is looking forward to him being able to go to high school, if this little thing is called and it hurts their father-son relationship, isn't it my sin? β
"A trifle? You call it a trifle?! Li You was so angry that he stomped his feet, "Brother Nian! Why are you so wronged?! We didn't let you live in our house, but we didn't make you angry! Especially him, he ......" He sat back in the chair, his eyes were red: "I don't want you to suffer like this, I want to help your ......" He felt uncomfortable, the person who had always wanted to help him actually hid so many things from him, and didn't seem to need him, how could he not be discouraged?
Chun Ying listened on the sidelines, angry and sad: "Young Master Nian, it's too aggrieved for you to do this." Isn't it true that some things won't happen again if you don't tell people, aren't you condoning crime? The second young master thinks that if you don't dare to speak out, he will bully you more and more, maybe one day he will kill you, and you still have nowhere to redress your grievances! Won't Hou Ye be sad then?! β
Zhou Nian was speechless, and only replied after a long time: "At least...... Master Hou can be less angry......"
"Father will never be happy when he finds out!" Li You said in a sullen voice, "He is thinking about overturning the case for your family, if it is done, your father's grievances can be revealed, but you call my father's son harmed, how can he face it?!" If you really think about him, you shouldn't tolerate the second brother! I'm back, you think about it! β
After he said that, he told Chunying to pack up her things and prepare to leave. Chun Ying glanced at Zhou Nian, and saw that he lowered his head and was silent, wanting to say a few words to persuade him, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to put away the food box and take the blue potion again. Li You turned around and said, "The medicine is exempt, I have it in the house." Chunying had no choice but to put down the medicine and leave the Zhumeng Mountain Residence behind him.
Li You walked with heavy steps in front, Chun Ying looked left and right, and couldn't help but remind him: "Third Young Master, you take it lightly, don't let people see it......" Li You reacted at this time, rolled up his sleeves to cover his face, and turned back to ask her: "Is my face conspicuous?" β
Chunying took a closer look: "It's okay...... The medicine was really useful, and I couldn't see the marks anymore. β
Li You relaxed a little, continued to walk forward, and stopped again after two steps. Man Ru trotted over and saluted him: "Third young master, you can come back, the old lady is urging you to go." β
"Old lady?" Li You's heart sank, and he looked back at Chunying. Chun Ying hurriedly asked, "Sister Cui, is the second young master at the old lady?!" β
"I heard that it is......" Manru looked at her, and then at Li You, "What's wrong?" β
Chun Ying and Li You glanced at each other, and they both secretly screamed in their hearts: Could it be that the second young master is going to break the jar and fall?γ.γ
