Chapter 344: Knowing Mistakes Can Be Changed
Liu Dongxing stood at the door of the study with a black face, standing for a long time. Shiqin was a little shy in panic at first, aggrieved, crying, full of thought that he would say something, but after waiting for his reaction, his heart began to become uneasy, and he looked up timidly to look at him.
Liu Dongxing didn't look at her out of the corner of his eyes, just stared at Liu Dongning, and the anger in his eyes became more and more intense.
The little guy who was standing outside the door but disappeared for some time came back, saw him standing there, was startled, and hurriedly ran over to ask, but as soon as his mouth opened, his eyes had already seen the situation in the house first, and he was suddenly even more frightened: "Why are you here, Miss Shiqin?" You...... What are you doing? ”
Shiqin finally waited for someone to ask this, and hurriedly whimpered: "I...... I just came to see the uncle on my grandmother's order, and invited the uncle back to the courtyard for dinner, but I didn't think that the uncle was drunk, so I just held my hand and didn't let go, and ...... And he did it to me......"
Zhu'er couldn't believe it: "What is the girl talking about?" Uncle is already drunk, and he can't wake up just now, so how can he do anything to you? Besides, this is an outer study, and the girl wants to pass the word, why don't you call the people on the second door? ”
A trace of annoyance flashed in Shi Qin's eyes, and he lowered his head and wiped his tears: "I have something to say to my uncle in private, and it is inconvenient for others to pass on the word, so I will come by myself." When I came, the uncle was half drunk and half awake, I called twice, he took my hand and asked me to drink with him, I struggled twice, and he ...... He ...... and cried, "He's going to pull my skirt......"
The louder she cried, the louder she became, but Liu Dongning never woke up, she swallowed her saliva, turned her head to look outside, and saw that someone had heard the sound coming this way, and she was at a loss and was busy stopping people. Shiqin caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and simply cried louder: "What other face do I have to meet people?" My innocence ......"
"Give me a mouth" Liu Dongning Yin squeezed out these words deeply, walked into the room, picked up a vase with a half-withered branch flower and smashed it towards the waiter. Shiqin was startled and quickly dodged, and the sweat towel that was originally dragged by Liu Dongning suddenly broke away from his hand. The vase shattered to the ground at Shiqin's feet, connected with water and flower branches, splashed her skirt and embroidered shoes, and lined her pale little face caused by fright, making her look so embarrassed that she couldn't even care about crying, and looked at Liu Dongxing with a stunned face.
Liu Dong walked to the bookcase, swept his eyes, grabbed the teapot placed in the corner of the bookcase, turned over his hand, and poured the cold tea on Liu Dongning's face. The latter shuddered, and suddenly came to his senses, with a little hangover and confusion, and looked at Liu Dongxing blankly: "Brother Xing? Why are you here? He looked down at his clothes and said, "What are you doing?" It's winter."
Liu Dongxing sneered: "What are you and I doing?" I want to know what you're doing in the daytime, you don't read well in the study, but you're drunk, you don't know if you're calculated by the girl, and you also have the face to say you're a man? ”
Liu Dongning was stunned, then saw the embarrassed waiter next to him, frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" Turning to Liu Dongxing, "Brother Xing means that I told this girl to calculate?" ”
"Do you know what I saw when I came over?" Liu Dongxing squinted, "You are full of alcohol and delirious, but this girl is not in good clothes and is helping you to be bumped, seeing that you are not awake, she desperately stuffed her sweat towel into your hand, and pulled off her skirt, it seems that she is going to take off her shoulders too, if she doesn't hear my footsteps, she won't let go." In fact, I would like to know what would have happened if I hadn't come, and no one was outside, and when she had finished what she had to do, someone would come and see you with her? ”
Liu Dongning's face sank, and he quickly turned his head to look at the servant. Shiqin was pale when he heard this, and stammered, "What is Uncle Xing talking about?" Why can't the slave and maid understand a word? The slave and maid really just took the order of the grandmother to pass the word to the uncle, and the uncle was delirious, and seemed to treat the slave and maid as someone else, and dragged the slave and maid to ask the slave and maid to drink with him, pulling and ......"
"You think I'm blind?" Liu Dongxing interrupted her coldly, "I saw your movements from afar, and I thought I was wrong, and when I came to the door, I realized that you had done more than I thought and were broken by someone, and you had to put the responsibility on the master, you are really a bold girl."
Liu Dongning said angrily: "I've been drunk, if it weren't for Brother Xing pouring tea on me, I wouldn't have woken up, how could I hold you back?" Did your grandmother call you? What is she doing here? When you are angry with your mother, do you call a girl to seduce me? ”
Liu Dongxing looked at him as if he was looking at a fool: "Your wine hasn't woken up yet?" Is your daughter-in-law going to give you a small one, and to avoid people in broad daylight? Can you understand that you are a loyal gentleman who doesn't want to take concubines except for his wife? Your daughter-in-law is a virtuous and generous woman who is unparalleled in the world, and she will plot against you by any means, and you will also give you a good wife who has a wide range of beautiful concubines? ”
Liu Dongning was awakened by his words, his face was red and white for a while, and he looked at Shiqin's gaze and became even more angry: "The shameless woman of the cheap maid"
Shiqin staggered to her knees and fell to the ground, her eyes rolled twice quickly, and then she cried: "Uncle spared the slave and maid, it was grandma who said that she wanted to add someone to the house to the uncle, save the wife from rewarding an aunt and block her, but she didn't want the girl of the Liu family or the naughty Ah Bi to take advantage of this, so she taught the slave and maid to come secretly without telling people...... Grandma knew that the uncle didn't like the slave maid, and she was afraid that the uncle would not want to, so she asked the slave and maid to cook the raw rice into mature rice...... Grandma said that the slave and maid are the people she trusts the most, and as long as the slave and maid give up this face, they will never treat the slave and the maid badly in the future."
Liu Dongning was skeptical, with Wen Xian's trust in Shiqin and her consistent style of acting, it was really possible to do such a thing.
"Hmph......" Liu Dongxing sneered and glanced at Shiqin, "Whether you are acting on your grandmother's orders or not, I see that you are very willing, and you just broke me before the thing was done, and you didn't stay here and cry for a long time in a hurry, just waiting for me to speak, and you didn't even bother to tidy up your clothes." Zhu'er wants to stop others from coming, and you deliberately cry loudly, because you are afraid that others will not know that you have been wronged here and lost your innocence? ”
Shiqin was suffocated, her crying stopped, her eyes flickered, and she continued to cry, but her eyes couldn't help but glance around.
At this time, the housekeeper of the Liu family, who was on an errand in the outer courtyard, rushed over: "What's wrong, what's wrong?" Uncle, what are you ......" I caught a glimpse of Shiqin kneeling in the corner in embarrassment, and she was a little unsure. Liu Dongning's face turned red instantly.
Liu Dongxing ignored them, but turned his head to Liu Dongning and said, "What's the big deal?" If this girl wants to climb the high branches, you will open her face, and what you will do with it after that is your business, so as to save her from spreading it outside and ruining your reputation. It's just that the reason why you let people take advantage of it this time is because you don't know how to control your drinking. What's wrong with you lately? What about your father? He's not an official, and you've read the books of the past ten years in vain? What if your brother is more favored in front of his father? They have never drunk and misbehaved, nor have they given up on themselves, but if it is you, they prefer their studious sons, and what if the people of the clan treat you as warmly as before? Don't you often say that you hate others and flattering you for the sake of your identity? How can you really suffer from gains and losses when you really encounter problems? What is the difference between the way you look now and the most despised and shameless anointed man you used to be? ”
Liu Dongning said excitedly: "Brother Xing, it's not like this, I'm not ......" opened his mouth, but he felt speechless, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he choked up: "I feel stuffy in my heart...... I can't stay anywhere but this study...... My father couldn't accommodate me, and my mother nagged me when she saw me, and when I went back to my own house, I was like that, and when I went out, there were always people who secretly mocked me...... There are so many worries in my heart, I feel uncomfortable" He wiped his face heavily and lowered his voice, "Only when I drink, I can relax a little and forget about these troubles for a while......"
"It's not promising," Liu Dongxing spurned, "Can you feel good if you drink?" As soon as you wake up drunk, you can reduce your troubles by one and a half? Instead of wasting your body like this, it's better to cheer up, take your books seriously, and come back with a serious exam, so as to save yourself from wasting time at home Your father has no official position, can't you take the exam yourself? Your father likes his brother, so if you are better at reading than your brothers, will he hate you? Look at what you look like now, who would like it? ”
Liu Dongning lowered his head sneeringly, his face flushed with shame, he only thought about how painful he was these days, and he wanted to get drunk to death, and was scolded by his brother like this, only to realize what stupid things he had done, and he was simply faceless.
Liu Dongxing saw that he knew that he was ashamed, so he softened his tone: "It's also my negligence, because I'm going to leave for the south in the near future, I've been busy seeing old friends these days, and I didn't care about you for a while, but I didn't know from others today that you are living such a decadent life If I had known earlier, I would have reminded you earlier." You used to be a wise man, but you were gentle, and you didn't want to fight with others, and you didn't like those worldly powers, but when your father encountered difficulties in the court, you were willing to put aside all kinds of worries, and you wanted to help him solve his problems, and even proposed a way to advance by retreating in order to keep him safe. Why is it that now that your father has really retired, you can't adapt to it? Cheer me up, you don't want to be enthusiastic about power, no one forces you, but that doesn't mean you can give up on yourself"
Liu Dongning cried bitterly: "Brother Xing...... Good brother, is the younger brother wrong......" He cried like a child, as if he wanted to cry out all the pain and sadness he had suffered for more than a year.
The butler stood there at a loss, looking back at the equally helpless dwelling outside the door, not knowing what to say or whether to report the matter to the inner courtyard. Shiqin knelt in the corner in a daze, and her heart was also at a loss: what about her? How about they ignore her? Are you willing to promote her as an aunt? Didn't Uncle Xing just speak? Uncle, I finally gave me an accurate word, she is still kneeling here
No one paid attention to her.
In the end, Liu Dongning walked up to his cousin, patted him lightly on the back, calmed him down, and said many words of admonition, Liu Dongning nodded again and again, his face was grateful, and his eyes were full of respect for his brother. Then, the inner courtyard that finally received the news passed Liu Dongning in, Liu Dongxing accompanied him on a trip, erased the matter lightly, and returned to the guest courtyard, telling Wen Yi everything that happened.
Wen Yi frowned when she heard this: "I used to think that the waiter next to my brother and sister was not an honest person, but when she was just selfish, her knowledge was limited, there was nothing wrong with her, her younger brother and sister had a soft temperament, and even her subordinates could bully her when she was in her mother's house in the past, and with such a powerful girl, she could also protect her Ichigo, so she never persuaded the elders of her family to change her to a waiter." I didn't expect this girl to have such an idea, if it weren't for the fact that you happened to bump into her today, I was afraid that she would have succeeded" paused, and felt that it was wrong, "Now she has also succeeded, my brother and sister are really pitiful." ”
Liu Dongning sneered and shook his head: "I was in the second aunt's house just now, and the second brother and sister almost fainted, and they repeatedly denied that they were instructed by themselves, but they still asked the second aunt to scold." Brother Ning trusted her, and helped her say two good words, and she cried into tears. In fact, it's okay, although that girl's wish has come true, whether it is Brother Ning or her younger siblings, they all know in their hearts, and they will be wary of her, and it will save her from being unable to make a plan, causing another incident, and disturbing the peace of the family. ”
Wen Yi thought about it, and asked with a smile: "How?" Have you persuaded the second brother? Since he is convinced, he must not be confused again, right? Wine is a thing that can be enjoyed by drinking, but drinking too much can hurt the body. If he really wants his second uncle to be impressed by him, he should make some serious achievements. ”
Liu Dongxing said with a smile: "I said the same thing, he promised me that he would study hard and try to get off next year, if he can get a show in the exam, he won't be afraid that he will be compared to Brother Jun." In fact, if he really has no intention of officialdom, it is nothing to be an empty jinshi, even if he is a lifter, he is better than a white body. Speaking of this, he felt a little guilty: "I want to make amends to the lady, because Brother Ning has repeatedly pleaded, I promised him that he would stay for a few more days, and our trip is afraid that it will be postponed." ”
Wen Yi was stunned, a trace of loss quickly flashed in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face: "Urging my brother to make progress is also a serious matter, what is wrong with you?" It doesn't matter if we stay for a few more days, we just need to get to Kangnan before the end of the year. After a pause, "Since we want to stay for a few more days, I just thought of one thing, there are also a few little brothers in our Liu clan who are not young, and their character is not bad, they have been studying at home for a few years, what future should they go to in the future, what plans do they want to do, should we help?" If you are interested in the road to fame, why don't you recommend it to Cannes Academy? If you are interested in joining the army, we can also introduce you. They are all members of the Liu clan, if one or two of them can become talents, you will also be able to help more in the future. ”
Liu Dongxing said: "You reminded me. This kind of thing was supposed to be what our Changfang should do, but the second uncle was not very enthusiastic about this matter in the past, and since we came out and received the grace of the clan, we should have reciprocated. In this case, let's go to each room and ask which parents have this will. ”
Wen Yi and Dongxing husband and wife got busy, and the news spread, and everyone in the clan admired and admired. Dongxing quickly selected two fourteen or fifteen-year-old cousins to take them to Cannes, and wrote a letter of recommendation to another cousin to try his skills at a nearby garrison.
Just when the reputation of the Dongxing couple in the clan was getting higher and higher, Liu Dongning quietly added a room, and then Liu Gu rewarded him with a beautiful maid, even if he carried his aunt. The news that Liu Dongning had accepted two beautiful concubines in succession spread among the clan, and the clansmen's perception of him plummeted again, and they all laughed at him for being lustful and unworthy.
