Chapter 609: Khotan (I)
Chapter 609 Firecrackers (I)
There is a tent and a protocol office in the outer courtyard. ~ Brother Jin pointed to the protocol office in the west wing: "It's a steward there." Dressed in an autumn-colored straight jacket, with two moustaches. ”
Brother Xu'er said excitedly behind him: "Are we going to find him and beat him up?" ”
Hongwen felt as if his back was sweating again.
She smiled softly: "We are not a nursery, who are you beating?" Multi-** servings. Let's go find Mr. Bai and let Mr. Bai clean him up. ”
Brother Jin nodded, and went to a two-room wing room on the west side of the main hall - because of Xu Siyu's marriage, Manager Bai was temporarily there to deal with the affairs of the Xu Mansion, and there were stewards who came and went from time to time. When they saw Brother Jin'er, they all bowed and saluted, shouting "Sixth Young Master" and "Seventh Young Master" with a smile, and their attitudes were very cordial and friendly.
There was also a steward who gave Brother Jin a line and said, "Does the sixth young master remember the little one?" Last time in the Fourth Young Master's house, the little one gave the order of Steward Zhao to send a post to the Fourth Young Master. As a result, it rained, and it was the little one who carried you to the door of the hanging flower."
Brother Jin looked at the steward blankly, obviously without any impression at all.
The steward immediately said: "The little one is called Wang Erhu." ”
"Oh," Brother Jin replied casually, raising his feet and moving forward.
The steward's eyes couldn't help but show a few disappointments.
When he walked under the eaves, a fair-skinned, handsome young man dressed in the green silk robe of the steward came out of the wing. The man was stunned when he saw Brother Jin'er, and hurriedly stepped forward to give Brother Jin a big salute: "Sixth Young Master, I haven't seen you for some days." Are you alright? Is the fourth lady okay? The little one and the little one have been thinking about the fourth lady and the sixth young master? ”
Brother Jin glanced back at the red stripe and asked her, "Who is this?"
Hongwen smiled: "This is Cao An's Cao Steward." Errand in the storeroom. His family's name is Yanrong, who originally served his wife, and later got married and was released. ~”
Brother Jin looked at Cao An twice and said, "Mother is very good." I'm pretty good, too. Then he commanded the red vein, "Reward him with two taels of silver."
Redvein hurriedly took two silver bills from his purse.
Where has Cao An never seen two taels of silver. But this is what my brother is rewarding, so it's naturally different. He respectfully accepted the silver, thanked Brother Jin gratefully, and then cautiously asked Brother Jin, "Are you looking for Mr. Bai?" ”
Brother Jin nodded.
Cao An said: "I also came to find Mr. Bai." Mr. Bai has just gone to the secretary's room, and there is already a little servant to shout, and he should be back soon. He lowered his hand and stood aside, "Why don't you let the sixth young master enter the house and sit down?" As he spoke, he glanced at the red-veined girl, "The red-veined girl is also serving on the side." ”
Redvein nodded gratefully at him.
This is the outer courtyard, and there are men coming and going. Along the way, everyone stared at her, and she was already a little at a loss.
"Thank you Steward Cao" Hongwen followed him into the wing.
There were a few people who looked like stewards standing around and talking, and when they heard the movement, they looked over, and saw that it was Brother Jin'er, and they all stepped forward to salute, and when they saw that Brother Jin'er was dirty, they personally fetched water and gave Red Stripe to him, so that Red Stripe could serve Brother Jin and Brother Xu'er to clean their hands and faces; There are also those who personally helped Brother Jin to find Mr. Bai. After cleaning up, it is to serve tea, serve snacks, and talk with it, so it is not lively.
Cao An asked Hongwen thoughtfully: "After hearing about the summer, Gu's mother went back." Which mother is on an errand by the side of the sixth young master now? ”
Hongwen smiled: "There has been no suitable one, the affairs in the sixth young master's house, Mrs. is in charge of it personally" Having said that, he thought about the candidates recommended by the second lady, the fifth lady, and the third lady of Mitsui Hutong to the fourth lady these days.
acted gently, the fourth lady said that she was too weak, and she was afraid that she would not be able to control the sixth young master; acted strictly, and the fourth lady said that it was too cold, for fear that the fourth young master would be dumbfounded...... I don't know what kind of person is suitable
"Then you're going to have to work hard, and you're going to have to do everything on your shoulders." Cao An smiled and talked to Hongwen, but his eyes were not on the stewards who were flattering in front of Brother Jin.
Since the sixth young master grew up safely and soundly to the age of five, the atmosphere in the mansion has become a little different. There are many people who want to get up to the second young master, and there are also many people who want to get up to the sixth young master. It's just that the sixth young master is young and raised in the inner courtyard, and the fourth lady takes the sixth young master closely, and those people can't find a chance. That's it, there are still people who come to him and Wan Daxian to get close.
When he told his wife Yanrong about this, Yanrong once warned him: "Don't think that because you are the fourth lady, you have to get up." The young lady of the Jiang family hasn't entered the door yet? The sixth young master still has a long way to go. At this time, we people are even more cautious, don't cause anything to make people caught, and then the fourth lady and the sixth young master will be involved. You should learn from Wan Daxian and do your part wholeheartedly, and ignore the rest. Find a way to promote the second-class manager, the first-class manager, and become the general manager. Only then can we really help the sixth young master, and we can have a good life. ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and paid attention to the greeting with the red vein.
Mr. Bai walked in quickly.
"Sixth Young Master, Seventh Young Master," he greeted Brother Jin and Brother Xu'er with a smile.
Hongwen hurriedly stood up: "Manager Bai, our sixth young master has something to say to you"
The steward didn't give the sixth young master firecrackers, because he was afraid that the sixth young master would blow up his hands. It's a piece of kindness. If the Sixth Young Master told the person in charge in front of so many people, when the Sixth Young Master did something wrong in the future, I was afraid that he would not dare to speak up. This is not helping the Sixth Young Master, but harming the Sixth Young Master. She is the person next to the sixth young master, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. Naturally, the Sixth Young Master couldn't be allowed to do such a thing.
Hearing this, Mr. Bai glanced at the stewards in the room.
The stewards, all of whom were human spirits, immediately bowed and withdrew.
Brother Jin angrily told Mr. Bai what had happened: "...... You can get me some firecrackers, and then teach the manager a good lesson. ”
When he spoke, the red stripe kept glancing at the white manager, which meant that the white manager should be perfunctory.
Mr. Bai can see it.
He had also heard a lot about the inner court. There has been no mother in charge of the house, and Eleven Niang personally brought up this son. After spending so much thought, it is natural to have a lot of expectations for him.
But expectations are not enough. Brother Jin is a young son, and if he wants to get ahead, he can only make a fuss about his reputation. This kind of thing that will teach the house a lesson to the housekeeper if he doesn't say a word will only make Brother Jin have a bad reputation of being arrogant and unreasonable, and he is probably the last thing that Eleven Niang is happy to see.
Many people in the house have careful thoughts, and he doesn't know it. But he also has his own ideas. After serving Hou Ye for so many years, Hou Ye is not confused at all, Hou Ye just likes to hide everything in his heart. If he makes any small moves, with Hou Ye's shrewdness, he will definitely not be able to hide it from Hou Ye, and he will only disappoint Hou Ye. Rather than not being able to protect the late season, it is better to serve Hou Ye loyally as always, and he will do whatever Hou Ye says. It can also earn a reputation for loyalty.
The thought flashed, and Manager Bai thought of what Xu Lingyi called him to say a few days ago: "...... Tomorrow the spring will be enlightened. Let Steward Zhao ask a few general soldiers to help recommend a master who understands martial arts in my name. ”
Hou Ye had high hopes for this young son, and he naturally wanted to maintain the reputation of the sixth young master.
Thinking of this, Chief Manager Bai smiled and nodded his head towards the red jaw, and said softly: "Sixth Young Master, don't worry, wait for me to find the steward you said first, and then go and talk back to you." As for firecrackers, don't you know, there are many people in our house, and there is a quota for everything, so those stewards and small servants don't dare to take Fangxi. Otherwise, how could those little guys pick up firecrackers that are not burning on the ground? As he spoke, he looked up at the sky, "It's almost time for Youzheng, according to the rules of the house, what Fang Xi wants to make a book on the first day, and no one is allowed to open the door of the treasury after the beginning of Shen." Unless there is a pair of cards of the Hou Ye. Of course, if it is the sixth young master who wants Fang Xi, Hou Ye will definitely give the right cards. It's just that today is special, the dowry of the second young grandmother is about to enter the door, even if it is to take the Hou Ye's pair of cards, I am afraid that at this time the people in the treasury will also run to see the excitement, and no one can be found. After speaking, he called out "Sixth Young Master" very sincerely, "Why don't I make a book for you tonight, and I will personally send you the firecrackers early tomorrow morning?" ”
Although he has a quota on the right and a convention on the right, Brother Jin is not confused at all.
Mr. Bai said that it meant the same thing.
It is impossible to call that steward to teach him a lesson, and it is not possible to get firecrackers from him.
He was so angry that his face was flushed, and he stood up suddenly: "Don't you want my father's right cards?" I'm going," he said, and strode out.
Brother Xu'er looked at it, and also lost the words "Let's go to find the fourth uncle", and ran out.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai." Hongwen hurriedly thanked Mr. Bai, "I can't help it." If the sixth young master is blown up by firecrackers, I will die ten thousand times and it will not be enough," he said, trotting and following.
Xu Lingyi was sitting and talking with Liang Ge Lao, Dou Ge Lao, Wang Li and others, and the little guy came in to say that the sixth young master was coming, and there was a warm smile in his eyes.
Although Liang Ge Lao and the others were silent, the tea drinkers drank tea and talked, but the corners of their eyes glanced at the door.
Brother Jin walked in unhurriedly, and respectfully saluted the adults, and Xu Lingyi beckoned him to him: "Why did you come here?" What about your mother? ”
"Mother is talking to aunts and aunts." He said in a loud voice, "I want to set off firecrackers, but Mr. Bai said that you have to agree." I'm coming to you. As he spoke, he pouted and looked at Xu Lingyi, "Daddy, I want to set off firecrackers."
Xu Lingyi listened to his tone, as if he had found a lot of people, and these people didn't give him firecrackers. Although I don't understand the process, my son is so young, he can find him all the way, in front of so many people, and he can still clearly and loudly say his requirements...... He suddenly thought of Xu Sizhen...... I sighed in my heart.
