After dinner that day, Guan Fu sent his mother-in-law to call Zhuang Yue, saying that Mrs. Guan was invited.

Zhuang Yue was not surprised, said to his wife, and followed his mother-in-law to Zhuang's house.

Mrs. Kwan sat at the top of the outer hall, surrounded by several mothers-in-law and maids. She pointed to the position of the lower head and said to Zhuang Yue: "No need to be polite, sit down." ”

Because he had come in the morning, Zhuang Yue also knew Mrs. Guan's temperament, so he didn't dare to excuse himself, thanked him, and sat down along the edge of the chair.

Mrs. Guan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "That Du Jin would rather go to the teahouse today?" ”

"Go, he took three more juggling books to Lu Xiaobei and the others, watched their performances, and left after not staying long."

Of course, Zhuang Yue knew what Mrs. Guan wanted to ask, so she didn't need to ask more, and took the initiative to report: "When he went, Chen Jiaxing and the two not only didn't say hello, but they didn't even move when they sat there. Young Master Du didn't pay attention to them, as if they didn't exist. ”

"Hmph." Mrs. Zhuang sneered, "They are seventeen or eighteen years old, and I haven't assigned them any work, so you can know what kind of people they are when you think about it." I just didn't expect that Chen Jiaxing's mouth would be sweet, and he actually fell into the eyes of the young master, which is why this one happened. ”

Zhuang Yue has been a third shopkeeper since he was a young man in the Guan family, he is naturally shrewd, he knows that it is better to pry Mrs. Guan's sycophants than to praise the young master to please his wife.

He replied: "The young master has a good heart and a good heart, so Chen Jiaxing is used to being obedient and slippery, how could the young master think that they are such people?" Just when he was employing people, he came to the front of him, but he didn't just use him. Anyway, it's not good to replace it, it's not worth the young master's extra effort for him. ”

Sure enough, Mrs. Guan's face suddenly became kind, and she said with a smile: "Brother Ze is also spoiled by me, he hasn't experienced any hardships, people are inevitably simpler, and there are some who don't notice it for a while." No, opening a teahouse, he will know which people are good and who are not, which is also a lesson. ”

Regarding this matter, Zhuang Yue didn't dare to express any opinion easily, he only echoed: "With the wife's arrangement, the young master will definitely have a smooth ride in his life, and there will be no tribulations." ”

Mrs. Guan likes to listen to this, and she is more and more happy: "Zhuang Yue, you are a capable person, you have become a third shopkeeper at a young age, it can be seen that you have the ability." Don't worry, even if this teahouse can't be opened, I will arrange for you to go elsewhere, and I won't compromise you. ”

Zhuang Yue was overjoyed, his heart fell to the ground, and he quickly lifted his shirt and knelt down, and made a big salute to Mrs. Guan: "Thank you, Mrs. for your support." ”

"Alright, get up."

Although the father-in-law died early, the mother-in-law also died, and the husband was far away in the capital. She is a strict housekeeper, and the maid doesn't dare to chew her tongue, but it's too late, she will also meet the male housekeeper, and Zhuang Yue is in her thirties, and she is not a few years old, so it is not appropriate after all. Being known by others, it is inevitable that there will be gossip.

Kong Shi didn't say anything else, and asked, "Can the Seventh Young Master go to the teahouse today?" ”

"When I went to school in the evening, I was sullen when I went in, and I looked around, and I didn't leave for a while. The villain knew that the young master valued love and righteousness, and he must still be uncomfortable about yesterday's events, so he took the initiative to tell him, and at noon, Young Master Du came to the teahouse and gave him a juggling book, so his mood was better. But he didn't say much, and after staying for a while, he let Chen Jiaxing and the two escort them back to the house. ”

Kong called Zhuang Yue over at this time just to listen to these words. She sees her son and daughter like eyeballs, and now that this has happened to her son, where can she rest assured? If you don't ask for clarification today, you'll definitely have to remember it at night.

After asking clearly, she picked up the tea bowl.

Zhuang Yue bowed with great eyes.

Seeing Zhuang Yue follow his mother-in-law down the steps and disappear into the twilight, Mama Qin, a henchman beside the Kong family, smiled and said, "In this way, that Young Master Du is not a small instrument, and the wife can rest assured." In fact, if he wasn't a good person, the fourth master wouldn't have accepted him as an apprentice. ”

Kong shook his head: "The temper of the fourth master, don't you know?" sees the right eye, no matter who the other party is, he is good to others with all his heart and lungs; If you don't see it right, you don't bother to take care of others. I think back then, didn't he suffer the loss of this temper? Although he is now older, he has been a mountain chief for so many years, and his temperament has become more restrained, but the things in his bones cannot be changed. ”

Mama Qin is the nurse of the Kong family, and she grew up watching the Kong family. Among the current subordinates of the Guan Mansion, she is the only one who dares to refute the Kong family.

She smiled: "But Mrs., you can't deny that after so many years, the fourth master really hasn't missed anyone." ”

Kong Shi was silent for a moment and nodded: "That's the same." ”

She paused, thinking of Du Jinning, her brows frowned slightly: "But that Du boy's temper is also too big, although he went to the teahouse today and didn't hide his secrets, he didn't talk to Brother Ze in the academy, which shows that he still has ideas in his heart." ”

"If he rushes up to apologize to the young master today, will you look down on him again, madam? I always feel that although he has a temper, he is a flatterer after all? ”

Kong couldn't help laughing and said, "So, it's mine, isn't it?" ”

"The old slave doesn't dare to say that, I just think that Young Master Du shouldn't be very bad, otherwise the fourth master wouldn't accept him as a personal disciple."

Kong nodded: "That's okay, let's just watch." If they have a disagreement, they will make peace with themselves, and I will not get involved. Anyway, she won't persuade her son to bow his head first.

"Then Chen Jiaxing and the two ......," Mama Qin asked.

Chen Jiaxing and Liu Ze's mother wanted her son to be on an errand, and she took a heavy gift to ask Mama Qin.

However, in order to support the family, Mama Qin came to the Kong family to be a nurse, but her husband couldn't help but find another woman, she immediately divorced, and her daughter died in childbirth after marriage, and she had no family. Compared to Kong's emphasis on her, money is not so important. Seeing that Chen Jiaxing and the two were not five or six, she did not accept the matter and returned all her things.

Now that these two people dare to instigate the young master, she doesn't want to see these two anymore.

"This kind of thing, we remind, is not as impressive as suffering a small loss yourself, and Ze Ge'er will deal with it if he finds it inappropriate. Under Zhuang Yue's nose, they can't make any waves. Kong said.

"It can be seen that the young master is blessed, with such a sensible mother as his wife, everything is considered for him." Mama Qin flattered.

Kong Shi smiled self-deprecatingly: "What's the blessing?" Having a father is like not having a father. ”

Speaking of Guan Zhengxiang, Mama Qin's old face was lightly sad: "The old master has repeatedly asked the young master to go to Beijing in his letter, what do you think, wife?" ”
