CHAPTER XXXI

Although Shanniang can speak well, but she is not good at persuading others, looking at the nurse looking at her with a pleading face, with a look of hope that she will quickly forget the scene just now, she couldn't help sighing, she really couldn't bear to hurt the nurse's self-esteem, so she had to swallow the words that came to her lips.

She had just turned around when she suddenly gasped. I saw that in the corner of the wall behind her, her father's companion Uncle Gui was standing there with his hands behind his back and smiling, and he didn't know how long he had been peeping.

Shanniang couldn't help but blink.

This Uncle Gui is simply a mysterious existence in the fifth room. When Shanniang just came back, she heard Fang's mother mention this person, but Fang's mother only said something vague, only saying that this Uncle Gui often accompanied her father out of the house, and although he had the title of chief manager, he was not responsible for any specific affairs in the house...... At that time, she thought that the so-called "manager" was a title given to this companion by the fifth master, and the person who was responsible for it was probably to accompany the fifth master to mess around......

Uncle Gui looked a few years older than the fifth master, with thin eyebrows and fine eyes, and a certain look on his face looked like a rat spirit, but a pair of eyes were bright and bright, so that Shanniang couldn't help but wonder if those eyes would shine on their own at night.

Seeing Shanniang coming over, Uncle Gui saluted the eldest girl respectfully, and then looked up at her with a smile, but did not speak.

Shanniang didn't speak, only replied in silence, and led her people back to the courtyard.

Wufu walked and turned back curiously, but he seemed to think of something funny, walked a few steps to catch up with Shanniang, and smiled in her ear: "Girl, do you know, what is the name of this Uncle Gui?" ”

"I only know the surname Gui." Shanniang said.

Wufu smiled, "His name is Uncle Gui." The surname is Uncle Guiming. Hehe, doesn't the girl think it's funny? ”

Sanhe suddenly said: "The old man Gui who is in charge of the old lady's East Garden, Uncle Gui, is his own brother." The two brothers are twenty years apart. ”

Sanhe's family is an old servant of the Hou Mansion, and the intricate relationship between the servants is the most right.

This was the first time Shanniang had heard of it, so she also glanced back at that Uncle Gui, and it happened to collide with Uncle Gui's eyes when he looked back.

The two winked at each other, then walked away without looking back.

"When we were on the roster, we also saw all the housekeepers in the house, but I haven't heard what errands this Uncle Gui is in charge of......" Looking at Uncle Gui's back, Wufu and Sanhe muttered quietly.

Shanniang pursed her lips slightly.

Xu was influenced by Yuan Changqing in his previous life, and now Shanniang also pays attention to the collection of news, so Wufu Xu, who has always been arrogant, doesn't know, but Shanniang knows very well what kind of role this Uncle Gui plays in the mansion.

As Sanhe said, Uncle Gui was the old lady's companion to him when the fifth master was still young. And if it is said that the servants in the five lords' mansions are now divided into the first line of the lord and the first line of the wife, then this Uncle Gui can be regarded as a family of his own. As the master's companion, his relationship with the master's line is naturally different, and his relationship with his wife's line is also very good. And after Shanniang's secret investigation, she found out that Uncle Gui, who was silent and seemed to be idle, was the hidden boss among the servants in the house. It was what Ma's mother, who was showing off her power in front of that person, wanted to do, and without Uncle Gui's nod, it was basically difficult for her to succeed.

Therefore, looking at Uncle Gui's mouse-like eyes, Shanniang always felt that the reason why the fifth room, where the master didn't care about anything, was able to support it until now and not collapsed, maybe it was because this Uncle Gui, who looked like a rat spirit, made a lot of contributions in the back!

And, unfortunately, when Zeng Shanniang released a bold promise to repair the "tenon", the first "tenon" was actually a nephew of Uncle Gui - a nephew who was nearly ten years older than his uncle.

So, when they met in the East Courtyard, Uncle Gui turned his head to look at Shanniang's playful eyes, which was quite interesting.

After being the housewife for so many years, Shan Niang has long been accustomed to seeing the humble eyes of the servants, and the eyes of Uncle Gui who are neither humble nor arrogant are rarely seen among the subordinates. Of course, it's not that I haven't seen Yuan Changqing's long-term entourage back then, including the Yan Feng who later married Wufu, all looked at her like this, that kind of look with measure......

Fortunately, Shan Niang didn't want to compete with anyone for power and profit, as long as Uncle Gui didn't come to disturb her tranquility, she would just think that there was no such a mysterious person in the family.

It's just that things in the world are difficult to make people want after all, that is, Uncle Gui doesn't come to disturb her tranquility, there are always other things to disturb her. What's more, as the fifth wife said before, no matter how capable the servants are, on some occasions, they can only come forward with the master.

And the two patriarchs in the family refused to stretch out their hands when the oil bottle was poured.

*・*・*

Although she was used to being a patriarch in her previous life, Shanniang, who swore never to meddle in other people's affairs in this life, saw her brother's little servant kneeling in front of her and shivering, and couldn't help but reach out to support her forehead.

"Why are you looking for me?"

She was depressed. Isn't it time to notify the old lady when you call the parents in school? It's because I'm afraid that I don't dare to alarm the old lady, the so-called eldest brother is the father, the eldest sister is like a mother, but I have never heard of a sister to pretend to be a parent to take care of the elder brother's affairs!

The little guy Nanshan trembled and said: "Learn, learn to say, if you don't go to the house to get and bring back the uncle, Uncle Ming'er is not allowed to go to the school again......"

If it was before, if you weren't allowed to go to school, you wouldn't go, but now the rules are strict everywhere in the family, if the uncle doesn't go to school, the board will eventually fall on those who are waiting! It's that the uncle's buttocks don't hurt, they hurt!

"Shouldn't you sue Mrs. Sù for this kind of thing?"

Nanshan raised his head and looked at Shanniang pitifully: "......"

All right. Shanniang reached out and stroked her forehead. The two who are in retreat and cultivating are afraid that they will not show up until her eldest brother kills someone...... is even killed, as long as it is not the eldest brother who died, the two may not show up......

Shanniang sighed and struggled to herself: "Isn't there a chief Gui in the mansion?" I heard that he was responsible for this kind of thing before. ”

So Nanshan looked back at the door of Chun Shen Yuan.

It was only at this time that the rat-like Uncle Gui walked into the small courtyard of Chunshen Garden from outside the door, stood in the middle of the courtyard paved with flower tiles, saluted the Shan Niang in the lobby, and said with a smile: "What the girl said is true." It's just that the villain is just a domestic servant after all, and there must be a master in the family. If the girl doesn't want to, she can only call the second master. ”

Joke! Call a seven-year-old hairy kid to protect his brother?! The gentleman in the school must have a crooked nose!

Shanniang squinted her eyes as she looked at Uncle Gui in the hall, and wanted to smash open the skull of this rat spirit with something to see what he was thinking.

The one who smiled so ...... is obscene, but I can't understand his plans.

Shanniang sighed, stood up and said, "I can go, but I want your Uncle Gui to say it." Besides, I'm still sick. ”

In short, after nearly a month, Shanniang, who originally vowed not to approach Meishan Academy again, came to the mountain gate of Meishan Academy again.

Looking at the majestic stone carved mountain gate and the quaint four big characters of "Meishan Academy" on the mountain gate, Shanniang suddenly found that she seemed to have repeatedly sworn and broken her oath since she was reborn......

It's sad.

And what's even more sad is that it is really easy to change the nature of the country, she has already made up her mind, that is, to see Mr., she only pretends to be a clay Bodhisattva with a heart and no mouth, and it is completely up to Uncle Gui to deal with those gentlemen and the parents of the beaten students, she just needs to play the role of a Taishan stone dare to be. As soon as she entered the door, she saw her brother Hou Rui's look in her eyes - the kind of arrogant look that concealed her uneasiness and deliberately pretended to be invincible.

Suddenly, Shanniang only felt a little uncomfortable in her heart......

Next to Hou Rui were three other children with blue noses and swollen faces.

The parents of those children seemed to be waiting for the fifth master, but what they were waiting for was only the housekeeper in the fifth master's mansion, and a young girl who didn't look at it. Several parents were immediately angry, and immediately jumped up a fat woman and pointed at Uncle Gui and scolded. As for the words "raised or not", Shanniang and her brother rolled their eyes when they heard it - it was too uninspiring. Who in Meishan Town doesn't know that the fifth master is free-range to children, and it is a fact that there is no need to give examples to scold!

Shanniang looked at Uncle Gui, and saw that he only knew that he was standing there and arching vigorously, but he didn't even have a word of rebuttal, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes dissatisfied.

Among the parents of the three beaten teenagers, the chubby woman had the most high-pitched voice, and her fingers were almost poking Uncle Gui's forehead at this time.

"In broad daylight, I dare to commit murder in the academy, and I don't know what kind of murderer and arson it will be in the future! Your old lady doesn't care about your uncle, I think he will die in prison sooner or later! ”

The fat woman scolded for a long time, Xu felt that scolding the manager was just a waste of words after all, and the one who came forward from the main family was a delicate and weak little girl who didn't care about anything, so the fat woman turned her head and said angrily to the gentleman behind the bookcase: "Such a black sheep who messes with trouble all day long," she pointed at Hou Rui, "Why do you want to keep the academy?" Don't fire it yet! We send our children to the academy to study, not to be beaten! ”

The gentleman sitting behind the big bookcase also had a very unpleasant face. He raised his eyes to look at the four fighting teenagers, and saw that the other three were all obediently bowing their heads, only Hou Rui raised his chin, looking like he was self-respecting, and he was not popular when he looked at it.

So the gentleman shouted in a deep voice: "Hou Rui, do you have something to say?!" ”

Hou Rui twisted his neck, but he didn't look at Mr., and he still stood with his shoulders crooked and twisted his hips, so he almost learned from the little hooligans on the street to point their toes.

The gentleman was even more angry when he saw it. Turning his head to look at the housekeeper sent by the fifth master's mansion, and the little girl who was hiding at the door, she was forcibly pulled to make up the number, and then compared to the other three parents who were all husband and wife, the gentleman felt even more troubled, his face sank, and said: "Since you have nothing to say, let's go over and apologize to the three classmates who were injured by you first, and then we will ...... again."

"Wait." Suddenly, a soft voice sounded in the room.

The gentleman was stunned, looked up and looked around for a while, only to realize that it was the little girl who "made up the numbers" who spoke.

And it was only at this time that the gentleman recognized Shan Niang, and he couldn't help but be taken aback - there are many children in the Hou family, and there are many students in Meishan Academy, so that Mr. really can't figure out who is a brother and sister who is a family.

Shanniang didn't want to speak, but that damn Uncle Gui only knew that Wei Wei was talking, and the more Shanniang looked at the bruises on her brother's face, the more unhappy she became, so she opened her mouth under an impulse.
