Chapter 142: Witty Words Blossom
An hour later, Master Wang walked out of the eldest young master's room with a black face. Yichun mixed in the pile of peony and sent him out of the courtyard respectfully, and heard the eldest young master shout, "Xiaochun, come in!" Peony touched her with her elbow, squeezed her eyebrows, and said, "Call you, don't go quickly!" Yichun pretended to glare at her shyly and walked in quickly.
The eldest young master was half-leaning and half-leaning on the couch, and the one in the room pointed to the teacup on the table and said, "Water, water!" Yichun hurriedly poured a hot cup and brought it over, and said with pretended concern, "Young Master, seeing that your face is not good, you have been frightened in vain, so you should call a Lang Zhong to take a look, and you can rest assured." ”
"No, no," the eldest young master shook his head and said, "I feel much better now, but my father said that it is not safe to live here, let me go out and hide tomorrow." I've thought about it, it's not appropriate to go out to live publicly, just bring you and Peony, and bring four more family members. ”
Hearing that the eldest young master was leaving Wang's Mansion, Yichun was anxious. The clue she is looking for must be hidden in Wang's Mansion, and there is no way to start if she leaves here. So now her first task is to persuade the eldest young master to stay.
"Leave, where are you going, are you staying at a relative's house?" Yichun didn't sit on the side with her head down, and the eldest young master couldn't see the expression on her face. The eldest young master said, "The Wang family does have relatives in the town, such as the second uncle's family. ”
The reason why Master Wang is called "Big Master" instead of Master Wang is because he also has a younger brother born to his mother-in-law who also lives in the town. It's just that his cousin has to be strong in everything, and he is against Master Wang everywhere, but he doesn't have that brains, although the two families live very closely, but they never come and go except for the New Year, the eldest young master naturally won't live in the past.
"A friend of mine has an inn in town, and we'll stay there until things in the house are cleared up. Don't worry, my dad has chartered the entire inn, and there won't be outsiders there. The eldest young master seemed to be a little excited, he felt that the reason why Yichun was not close to him was because she lived in the mansion, and under the noses of the lord and the lady, she had concerns. Being able to live alone with her for a while this time may be able to promote the relationship between the two.
Yichun pouted and said, "Just now you said that it is not appropriate to be public, and in the blink of an eye, you will charter the entire inn and drive away all the guests who live there." Master, have you ever thought about it, those people who live in the inn are all out to run errands or beg for a living, and it is not easy to have a place to live. You said drive away, drive away, although spring is now in spring, but the weather is still so cold, where do they go to live for a while? ”
"You're right!" The eldest young master's gaze became more and more gentle, "I was negligent, you are right, it is really a sin to make others uneasy for this trivial matter." That's not as good as our ......."
"Big young master!" Yichun interrupted him and said, "I know that the lord is for your good, but have you thought about it, you are the only son of the lord and lady, and you are also the future master of the Wang Mansion." Now that something happens, you will go out more to protect yourself, what will those subordinates say, and what will people outside say? They won't say anything in front of you, but they will definitely speculate that you are a person who has no courage or responsibility. Don't talk about them, even I don't like such people. ”
After saying the last sentence, Yichun's face was shy, as if he was hinting at something to the eldest young master. The eldest young master was also very on the road, and he said enthusiastically at that time, "Yes, you can understand the truth of a little girl, how can I not understand?" I'll let people inform my father early tomorrow morning, I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay and protect the Wang family with my father! ”
Before dawn, Master Wang sat in the main hall, and everyone in the family stood aside, even the long-lying lady and the eldest young master also came. Yichun stood behind the eldest young master, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Master Wang knew that the eldest young master was going to stay, he was surprised, and the first thing he said was to ask him why he suddenly changed his mind. The person who came said, "The eldest young master said, it was Miss Xiaochun's words that made him understand, as the only son of you and your wife, the future master of the Wang family, he can't be without courage and responsibility!" At that time, Master Wang said, "Okay! It seems that Madame has finally done the right thing, you tell the eldest young master, bring this Xiaochun when you come over tomorrow, I want to see you! ”
So today, it was not peony that accompanied the eldest young master, but Yichun. Seeing the tigress nodding slightly at herself, Yichun felt annoyed for a while, but she didn't expect that the person who had always regarded herself as a chivalrous woman would also have the idea of a woman in the back house calculating, she was really under the eaves and had to bow her head.
"I called you here today because I have something to say." Master Wang was full of anger, "Last night, I found a secret passage in the eldest young master's room, who knows about this matter?" Yichun continued to keep his head down, and the others exchanged heads with different expressions, saying that they had never heard of it.
Master Wang said, "Don't say you don't know, even I, the owner of this house, don't know." When the family split up, I bought it and lived in another house. I've been living here for twenty or thirty years, but I didn't expect someone to do something right under my nose. I can't rub the sand in my eyes, from now on, the door of the house is closed, and there will be no guests, how people outside should shirk it, you know in your hearts. The rest of the people, go room by room with me, find the secret passage and secret room and anything wrong, and immediately go back and forth! ”
"Yes!"
The subordinates retreated in an orderly manner, each performing his own duties. Master Wang stood up and walked to the eldest young master, patted him on the shoulder to express encouragement, and then said to Yichun, "You are Xiaochun sent by Mrs. to the eldest young master's room, I saw you yesterday, but I didn't expect that you are still a knowledgeable girl!" ”
If it were someone else, he would definitely answer shyly, "The master praised it falsely, where does the slave and maid have any knowledge" or something like that, but Yichun chose to say generously, "Thank you for the praise of the master, I read books when I was a child, I know a few words, and I also understand some truths." Madame took a fancy to this, so she sent me to the eldest young master's room. ”
Since Miss Wen Yin's incident, the relationship between Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang has existed in name only. The affection they made was for outsiders to see, but at this moment, Master Wang emotionally held Mrs.'s hand and said, "Okay, Mrs.'s vision is really as good as before, this Xiaochun is good, very knowledgeable, if you give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, it is okay to be an aunt." ”
"That's what my lord said, and that's what I mean." When Madame laughed sincerely, her sick, haggard face took on a little brightness. Master Wang said, "Okay, you stay here first, I'm going to see for myself, I don't know how many secrets there are in this mansion!" ”
