Steward Shi didn't have a seizure, but he just had a gloomy face, which was so gloomy that it seemed to be soaked in black water, but he must be in a bad mood.

On the one hand, it was because Yuan Lai was disrespectful, and on the other hand, because his goal was obviously not achieved, he would definitely end up with his wife when he went back like this.

However, he did not give up, since he was rejected by Yuan Lai, then he set his sights on the shopkeeper of the Yuan family bookstore in the capital, that is, Liu Wen's body, according to his ideas, Yuan Lai may not be able to represent the will of the Yuan family, since he touched the nail at this half-grown boy, he might as well save the country and start from Liu Wen.

It's a pity that he is destined to return in vain, and when he asked to see Liu Wen, the reply he got was: Shopkeeper Liu is not there, please discuss with the young master of the Yuan family if you have something.

Watching Steward Shi walk away angrily from afar, Liu Wen sighed, folded the account book in his hand and handed it to the guy next to him, and said, "You clean up." ”

Then he walked towards Yuan Lai's room.

The backyard of the bookstore is very large and clean, there is a big white fruit tree outside Yuan Lai's room, the branches are luxuriant, the greenery is rich, and a bluestone road extends along the shade to the door of the room, which seems very quiet.

When Liu Wen pushed open the door, he saw Yuan Lai, who was studying seriously.

"Uncle Liu is here. Yuan Lai smiled faintly, without the slightest surprise.

"What are you reading?" Liu Wen walked over slowly, leaned over slightly to look at the book in Yuan Lai's hand, and asked with a smile in his mouth.

On the cover is written "Five Complete Books", very thick, it is a set of books compiled by the emperor a few years ago to summarize the famous articles of the past dynasties, a full set of dozens of volumes, Yuan Lai is reading the first volume at the moment.

"This book is not for you. Liu Wen commented.

"Why?" Yuan Lai closed the book, got up and picked up the pot on the table, and poured a cup of tea for Liu Wen and himself.

"This kind of book is too heavy, you should read it lightly at your age. ”

"For example?"

Liu Wen pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "For example, Fenghua Xueyue, how about those love stories in the market?"

Yuan Lai really laughed, and he said helplessly: "I'm still young, well, I'm only fifteen." ”

"Fifteen-year-old girls should get married, not too young. ”

Yuan Lai shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The fifteen-year-old girl is too young, just like a flower bone, only a few petals bloom slightly, and she hasn't grown up yet, so it's boring to marry home." ”

Liu Wen smiled implicitly, and looked at Yuan Lai at the bottom of the mountain with some surprise, before finally sighing: "Steward Shi looks very angry. ”

"Did he sue you?"

"Looked. Liu Wen smiled and said, "But I didn't see it." ”

Yuan Lai raised his eyebrows, sighed slightly, and then said slowly: "You should meet him." ”

"Why do you want to see him, because he is the chief butler of Shangshu Mansion?" asked Liu Wen meaningfully.

Yuan Lai pursed his lips and said, "Because he came with the meaning of that lady." ”

"Shangshu is quite a big official, isn't he?" Yuan Lai asked again.

Liu Wen nodded affirmatively: "It's really big." ”

"There's no need for our family to anger a scholar, do we, and we don't seem to be angry, right?" Yuan Lai asked again, but the tone was not an inquiry but more of a statement of facts.

The first half of the sentence is, and the second half of the sentence is not necessarily. Liu Wen replied, his tone a little determined.

Yuan Lai was a little surprised, Liu Wen's words made him start to re-evaluate Yuan Shoucheng's strength, it seemed to ...... Is his Yuan family really capable of resisting the wrath of a senior member of the DPRK and China? This is a surprise.

"Whether you can afford to be angry or not, there is no need to offend and die. Yuan Lai said slowly.

"This sentence should be what I said to the young master. Liu Wen said: "After all, it seems that it was the young master who offended Steward Shi just now." ”

"I know that in my heart. I'm only fifteen years old, and I'm young and vigorous, and it's reasonable to scold or even kick that person in both feet when I encounter such a thing, but I'm too young to represent the will of my family. If Steward Shi is not stupid, he will definitely talk to you after I scold him, and you will be pretending to be a white face at that time, so you will have to do it. Yuan said.

Liu Wen's face suddenly became very exciting when he heard this, and he looked at the arrogant Yuan Lai for a long time before he exhaled and said, "Young Master, you are trying to be happy and grovel, and let me do all the things that are groveling." ”

Yuan Lai also smiled a little embarrassedly, a little ashamed, and at the same time a little curious.

"I'm still curious why you didn't see him?"

Liu Wen asked rhetorically, "What did you talk about after meeting him?"

"Talking about marriage, people are not happy, of course we can't rush to get married, this marriage contract may be able to sell for a good price." Yuan Lai didn't care.

"You want to sell it like that?"

"Otherwise?" Yuan asked rhetorically.

Liu Wen suddenly said: "But how did I hear someone say that young master, you said that you will go to the Shi family tomorrow......"

Yuan Lai reciprocated with a very innocent and innocent smirk.

Liu Wen sighed and shook his head, and said a little helplessly: "This is your marriage, what to do, young master, you should say it clearly." ”

Yuan Lai didn't speak, leaned back in the chair, looked through the window and saw the big white fruit tree outside the window, the breeze blew, the shadow of the tree swayed, and a swallow happened to fly out of the yard under the eaves, and flapped its wings and flew out of the yard with a light cry.

"I think it's okay, this thing needs to be happy with each other, if the other party doesn't like us and doesn't agree, then it's okay, just talk about it, I haven't seen that Shi Qingzhuo, it's okay if there is no marriage, but this talk can't be with a housekeeper, no matter what kind of big housekeeper and second housekeeper he is, it always makes me uncomfortable, since it was the marriage between Shi Shangshu and my father, then at least Shi Shangshu should talk about this matter, right? If he is very busy, then talk to Mrs. Shi. ”

Yuan Lai's voice was very steady and light, as if he was just saying something very ordinary.

"However, before that, I think it's better to understand the other party's situation first, that steward Shi ...... The attitude is a little wrong, it seems to be a little anxious, I always feel that the other party seems to want me to come to the door, or they are a little afraid of me coming to the door......? Uncle Liu, can you find someone to ask this Shi Qingzhuo...... What the hell is going on?"

Yuan Lai smiled and said leisurely: "After all...... Knowing oneself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles......"

Liu Wen looked at his little master with complicated eyes, and his emotions fluctuated slightly, is this really the stupid young master who has been riding a wooden horse since he was born?

It seems that all these years have not been seen...... He's changed a lot......

"Okay, I'll ask. Liu Wen nodded, got up and pushed the door to leave, and when he walked out of the room, he glanced at the "Five Complete Books" on the table, intentionally or unintentionally, and had an inexplicable thought in his heart: It should be very appropriate for the young master to read this book......
