Chapter 29: First meeting of Du Hongyu
In the blink of an eye, Wanliang and they have been living in Dujiabao for two months. Du Yi means that such a big Dujiabao, three more people are just three more pairs of chopsticks, and they don't want them to do anything. But Wanliang and they themselves felt that they were eating and living for nothing here, and they didn't do anything, so they really didn't want to go. So I took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help. After Du Yi knew about it, he was very angry at the people in the kitchen, and said: "They are all my honored guests of Dujiabao, who gave you the courage to arrange them to do things!" "Later, when they went to help out in the kitchen, no one dared to let them do things anymore.
However, Aunt Wanliang Ah Niu felt that she was really sorry to eat and drink for nothing here. So, half a month ago, Wanliang finally asked Du Yi that if they were not allowed to do any work, they would eat and drink here for nothing for a long time, and they would really be embarrassed to live like this. Du Yi couldn't help it, so he had to respond to Wanliang's request and send them an easy job. The eldest lady did a good job of needlework, so she arranged for the eldest lady to embroider in Xiuzhuang; Ah Niu didn't know a single big character, so he arranged to do chores in Xiuzhuang and send some cloth or something; Because Wanliang was less than five years old, her father Wang Eniang invited Shibao to teach her to read and write, so although Wanliang has not been in contact with books since she was nine years old, she can still read and write, and she can also do arithmetic, so she arranged for Wanliang to manage the accounts of Xiuzhuang. In this way, the eldest lady and Ah Niu have something to do, and they can live in Dujiabao more at ease.
Among them, the happiest is Ah Niu. He doesn't have to face it now, Xuanyuan Chen, who made him crazy with jealousy, still lived in Dujiabao with Xiaowan's sister and worked in Xiuzhuang as he wished. Now, as soon as he finishes moving the cloth, he will go to the account room to see Xiaowan's sister. If she's not busy, he talks to her; If she's busy, he'll sit and watch her quietly. Now, he feels more satisfied than ever! It seems that he finally lost and regained his sister Xiaowan; The days also seem to return to the simplicity, tranquility, and tranquility of the cabin.
Therefore, since coming to Dujiabao, Ah Niu has been very happy every day. However, what Ah Niu didn't know was that soon he would not be happy again, and he would go back to the difficult days when he ate sour and vinegar in the past. Life is like this, it will not make a person endlessly happy until he is old. Originally, life is to make people cry and laugh again.
One day, Du Hongyu, who had not returned home for more than three months, came back and brought back a beautiful woman dressed very charmingly. People have long been accustomed to this. Because, in recent years, Du Hongyu, who has become more and more stiff with the castle owner, often brings back some oiran or top girls in the brothel. At first, Du Yi was so angry that he scolded him twice, but later he saw that he really couldn't control him, so he simply didn't care about him.
Not long after Du Hongyu came back, he learned that his father had arranged for someone else to live in the "Lulan Garden" where her mother had lived. In an instant, he was simply furious! Is my father planning to never let my mother come back? Even the place where my mother used to live was arranged for someone else to live! Such a big Dujiabao, so many rooms, where can you not live in people! Why did you just arrange people to "Lulan Garden" where my mother once lived?! The more he thought about it, the more angry he became! The more I thought about it, the more angry I became!
He walked out of his "Hongyu Zhai" quickly with a sky-high rage, and hurried towards "Lulan Garden". Because his pace was so fast, he was at the corner of the corridor, and the old butler who came from the other end of the corridor and happened to come to this corner said, "Alas! He fell to the ground with a thud. He walked over and grabbed the clothes on the butler's chest, lifted him up, gritted his teeth word by word and asked, "Butler, you give me a truthful explanation now, did my father arrange for someone else to live in the 'Lulan Garden' where my mother once lived?" Isn't it? Say it! ”
"Master Hui, yes." The butler replied truthfully.
"Damn it!" Du Hongyu scolded angrily. Instantly let go of the hand holding the housekeeper's clothes, and hurriedly walked towards the "Lulan Garden".
"Young master, young master, don't go to trouble the girl! The lord said that the girl was a distinguished guest in the castle. Young master, what is there to wait for the master to come back! The young master ...... "The housekeeper understood Du Hongyu's violent temper and saw his intentions, so he hurriedly followed.
Du Hongyu, who was angry, where could he listen to the housekeeper at this time. He's going to kick her out of Lulan Court now! Immediately! Right away!
Wan Liang is indeed living in "Lulan Garden" now. Originally, Wanliang lived in the upper room of Dujiabao like the eldest mother A Niu, but Uncle Du thought that the room was not good enough, so he ordered his subordinates to move her to this spacious and expensive "Lulan Garden", and also assigned her a maid who was about the same age as her - Xi'er. Uncle Du was so kind to her that she refused to accept it. However, Uncle Du insisted, saying that this "Lulan Garden" has been vacant for ten years, and the owner will not come back to live, so you can live here with peace of mind. In the end, Wanliang was reluctant to refuse, so she had to live in this "Lulan Garden".
Later, Wanliang learned from the maid that the "Lulan Garden" used to be lived by the castle owner's wife. Ten years ago, Du Bo took a concubine, and Mrs. Du cut her hair to become a nun because of this, and never came back. In the past ten years, Uncle Du has also visited the nunnery several times to pick her up. However, Uncle Du's concubine hit Mrs. Du who loved Uncle Du too much, so Mrs. Du was resolute and insisted on refusing to return to the world. After repeating this many times, Uncle Du's patience finally ran out, and he never went to the nunnery again to try to pick her up. Today, Mrs. Du has been living in the nunnery for ten years.
At this time, it was already unitary time, Wan Liang, who had done today's accounts in Xiuzhuang, had just returned to "Lulan Garden", and asked Xi'er to prepare hot water and prepare to wash away her exhaustion. Suddenly, a man in his twenties, dressed in an ice-blue silk robe, with an angry face on his face, broke in. Looking at Wan Liang, who was looking at him at this time, he suddenly put away his anger, and his bright black eyes were full of amazement, so he stared at Wan Liang in a daze.
Wan Liang was also looking at the man who broke in, the snow-white piping embroidered with the elegant bamboo leaf pattern and the mutton fat jade hairpin on his head complemented each other, so that he no longer had an angry face at this time, and he looked quite cynical and uninhibited.
"Young master......" At this time, the butler also ran in angrily and shouted behind him. He was afraid that the young master, who was very angry, would come to the girl to find trouble, in case the matter got bigger, the master would get angry and blame him, not that he would have to blame him for the dereliction of duty as a housekeeper. However, the young master walked as fast as the wind, and he couldn't keep up with people of his age at a trot. Fortunately, he finally followed in time, and the young master hadn't made anything happen yet.
The housekeeper's voice also made Du Hongyu, who was staring at Wanliang in a daze, come back to his senses. He ignored the butler who followed him, but looked at the fairy-like person in front of him, and said in a gentle tone: "Girl, are you?" ”
The housekeeper was very surprised when he heard the young master's tone. The young master, who was obviously angry just now, suddenly disappeared from his anger, and his tone was still unprecedentedly gentle. The butler was surprised, and he finally put his mind at ease. Seeing that the young master is like this, he won't make any trouble, otherwise, he doesn't know how to explain to the master.
"My name is Wanliang. Is there anything wrong with you? Uncle Du told Wanliang that for the sake of prudence, she would be called Wanliang in the future, and she would say Wanliang to anyone. She knew that Uncle Du was for her good, after all, Mu Yuying was a person who should not have lived in this world for a long time.
"Wanliang, Wanliang, this name is beautiful, I like it." Du Hongyu finished talking to himself, and then looked at Wanliang and still said softly: "Wanliang, my name is Du Hongyu, you can call me Hongyu." ”
"Okay." Wan Liang said in her heart, it turned out that he was the "ridiculous young master" in the mouth of his subordinates.
"Wanliang, let's go, I'll take you around the castle to familiarize yourself with the environment in the castle?" Du Hongyu suddenly walked up to Wanliang, grabbed Wanliang's arm, and was about to walk out.
"Hongyu, no need. I have been in Dujiabao for more than two months, and I am already familiar with the environment. Wan Liang broke away from his arm and refused.
"Then I'll take you to the town for a walk, I know all the fun places in Ding'an Town." Du Hongyu looked at Wan Liang expectantly. I was secretly annoyed: Why didn't I come back earlier?
"No need. It's not early, and I want to rest early. Wan Liang still refused. I thought, it's really a veritable ridiculous young master, who doesn't help Uncle Du take care of the family business, and such a big person only knows how to play.
"Wanliang, then it's okay for me to have dinner with you, right?" After Wanliang's words, Du Hongyu remembered that it was dinner time, so he said to Wanliang. Without waiting for Wan Liang to answer, he immediately turned his head to the butler and ordered: "Butler, prepare more good wine and good food, and send it to 'Lulan Garden', this young master will have dinner in 'Lulan Garden' today." ”
Although Wan Liang didn't say anything about refusal, he didn't give him any praise for this young master in his heart. This man is too self-conceived! Although he asked her a question, he did not wait for her to answer, but directly ordered the butler, saying that he wanted to have dinner with her. Think about it, I am just a guest of Dujiabao, and I am really the owner of Dujiabao, and I can't eat where I want. Come to think of it, Chen wouldn't be like him. She lives in the "Liuyun Pavilion" and is also a guest, but more like a master. And Chen will ask her for advice on everything, and will never force her. Wanliang didn't find out that she always couldn't help but compare Chen with other men, and then she was even more sure in her heart that Chen's good was unmatched!
For dinner, Wanliang was boring, but Du Hongyu was extremely happy. However, Wanliang was really annoyed when she saw that Du Hongyu had dinner and had no intention of leaving "Lulan Garden". Just when Du Hongyu was sitting face-to-face with her, and kept asking her about it, Wanliang finally ordered him to expel the guest: "Hongyu, it's not early today, and I'm a little tired, so it's better to talk about it another day." ”
"Hmm...... It's good. Du Hongyu looked at Wanliang, his eyes were a little reluctant, and finally he was reluctant to leave "Lulan Garden".
It's just that what Wanliang didn't know was that as soon as Du Hongyu returned to his "Hongyu Zhai", the first thing he did was to order his subordinates to send the top brand of the "Yihong Courtyard" that he brought back this time, Rumeng, back to the "Yihong Courtyard" overnight.
In this way, Wan Liang finally saw Uncle Du, the son of the fifth in line, the "ridiculous young master" in the mouth of the people in the castle.
