Volume 1: The Honest Young Man, Chapter 21

Han Jiangyuan rushed over when he heard the noise, they saw him coming, and the swarm of bees dispersed, Han Jiangyuan entered the house suspiciously, and saw that Xiao Han Ye had already sat up, walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Han Ye raised his head with red eyes and asked, "Dad, where did you get this futon from?" Han Jiangyuan was stunned for a moment, and stammered, "This, this is what the young master gave me first." ”

"Didn't you say you bought it back?"

"When the salary is paid, I will return the money to them, and it will be regarded as credit, and I will buy it back."

"But they said that this is a quilt made by the master, and a bed costs dozens of taels." Xiao Han Ye cried and sobbed, "They say we steal things, steal old man's things!" Obviously we didn't steal! Why accuse us of stealing! ”

Han Jiangyuan was stunned, his hand touching the futon trembled slightly, this futon looked expensive, was it so expensive? How many years does it take for this to be paid off? But now seeing Xiao Han Ye crying sadly, he put his hand on his shoulder and comforted: "Ye'er doesn't cry, dozens of taels are dozens of taels, Dad saves money, others say that we steal, but they don't understand our character, and when we get along with them for a long time, they will know." ”

"Dad, we might as well go and work elsewhere, and we won't be angry here." Xiao Han Ye gradually stopped crying, and he was still humming angrily in his nose. Han Jiang looked at Xiao Han Ye's teardrop-stained eyelashes, sighed a lot in his heart, and sighed, "It's the same everywhere, it's the same everywhere, the emperor kindly took us in, healed my injuries, and gave us a place to live, it is already the emperor's grace, we should thank the emperor for saving his life, don't count the wretched anger on him, be obedient." ”

Xiao Han Ye said 'um', and Han Jiangyuan continued to work.

After dinner, Han Jiangyuan went to find Xiao Qian'er, "Young Master." ”

Xiao Qian'er looked back at him: "Uncle Han? Can I help you? ”

"The quilt that the young master gave me today, does the young master know the price?"

"Huh? Why do you ask this? You don't have enough quilts, just take it and cover it, are you still ready to pay back? Xiao Qian'er blinked her eyes in confusion and asked, Han Jiangyuan couldn't help but think that the world of children is naΓ―ve, you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to think about anything, as long as you are well fed and clothed, it seems that there is nothing to worry about.

"I heard that this quilt was custom-made by the master, a bed costs dozens of taels, how can we use such valuable items without authorization, now that the master is not there, I came to ask you."

"Yikes!" Xiao Qian'er herself also reacted, scratched her head and smiled embarrassedly, "I seem to remember that those quilts were newly bought by my father-in-law...... But it doesn't matter, I have my share in it, just cover my bed for you, it doesn't matter, don't worry. ”

"How can this work, since the young master doesn't know the price, then wait for the master to come back in a few days, and I'll ask him again."

"It's okay Han Bo, it's really okay." Xiao Qian'er waved her hand, "Your salary is not much, wouldn't it be difficult for you to spend money to buy it?" Don't think about it, I'm sure my father-in-law won't ask you to pay it back. ”

Han Jiangyuan bowed his head and saluted, turned around and left, Xiao Qian'er looked at his back suspiciously, and went back to the room by himself.

Han Jiangyuan and Xiao Han Ye listened to the gossip of the people in the house for several days, and only when Yuan Zhen came back for dinner did they have the opportunity to ask him, but when they saw Yuan Zhen hearing about it, they first frowned, and then heard him explain the reason and then expanded: "This matter is negligent, the quilt will be covered by you, don't worry." ”

"This ...... The minions should find a way to save money and return it to you, you are enough to take care of our father and son......"

Yuan Zhen washed his hands and smiled: "It's just a quilt, who is it to cover?" Those who do not know are not guilty, and you are not to blame. By the way, you said that the child is sick, but now he is fine? ”

"Back to the old man, it's already good, the young master still comes to send medicine to visit from time to time, and the slave is really grateful."

"Okay, that's it, Qian'er's child is kind-hearted and considerate to everyone as much as possible, and I'm very happy in my heart." Yuan Zhen wiped his hands, sat down and poured a cup of tea and drank, "How many days have you been living in the mansion?" ”

"Habit...... Get used to ......" Han Jiangyuan hunched his waist, but he still wanted to inquire about the price of quilts, Yuan Zhen saw that he was still struggling, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm not a stingy person, don't bother with this, relax, ah?" ”

The dignified monarch of a country is so amiable, it doesn't match the rumors, the rumors about the emperor that Han Jiangyuan heard among the people are all how the emperor killed the enemy majestically, how he suppressed the enemy with a powerful aura, how he scared others to pee his pants with a single look, how serious he was without smiling......

But Han Jiangyuan didn't want others to gossip, and still insisted that he would return the money for the quilt to him, Yuan Zhen twisted his eyebrows slightly, Han Jiangyuan was so insistent on this, he must have heard some rumors, right? Invited the little guy to interrogate, only to know that the little guy in the house has always been targeting their father and son these days, and they like to say some unpleasant things when they have nothing to do, Yuan Zhen called the little guys with a yin face, and the little guys were so frightened that they all trembled and trembled in a row.

"Why are you targeting Han Jiangyuan and his son like this?"

"The minions didn't ...... The slave didn't dare to ......" Several people knelt on the ground, muttering in their hearts, how did this matter reach the ears of the master? Could it be that someone in the house sued the gang? In a blink of an eye, I thought that it must have been sued by Han Jiangyuan's father and son, all of them have been on duty in the mansion for many years, but they were so calculated by a newcomer, and they were secretly complaining about them in their hearts.

"None? You say it again, you didn't insult Han Jiangyuan's father and son? ”

Yuan Zhen's aura was too strong, although the tone of his speech was plain, but they were trembling with fright, and the fast-talking little guy replied: "Master, a few of us said a few bad words, but we are upset for the master, the quilt that the master bought with a lot of money was used by them, and their identity is not worthy of such a good object......

Xiao Han Ye heard the sound from a distance, so he lay outside the door and eavesdropped.

"That's it, they are a pair of wandering fathers and sons that the master kindly picked up from the side of the road, how can they use the master's things......"

"There is really a shortage of quilt covers, just come to us to borrow a bed, why pretend not to know and go to the young master, the young master led him to take something, naturally he went to the master's storage room to get it, can't you take him to our people's storage room? I think the lack of quilt cover is fake, and climbing the dragon and the phoenix is real. ”

Xiao Han Ye clenched his fists tightly and looked at the few little guys on the ground through gritted teeth.

"If you are rescued by the master, you must be grateful to Dade, instead of getting the position of the chief manager, but you still don't know the difference between respect and inferiority, and try to move the master's things."

Han Jiangyuan saluted Yuan Zhen and also saluted them: "Your Majesty, brothers, it is indeed wrong for a slave to take the master's futon cover, and the slave apologizes to the master." At that time, the child had a high fever, and I went out early in the morning to find someone to borrow a quilt, but I saw that everyone had not yet gotten up, and I only saw the young master who got up in the yard in the morning to practice, and the child was still sick, so I didn't worry so much, and went to the young master to borrow a quilt. At first, I saw that the bedding fabric was so good and refused to use it, but when I saw that there was no worn-out bedding in the storage room, I said to the young master, I will use this quilt first, and return the money to the master, today I also asked the master about the price of the bedding, and I will return it to him in the future. ”

"Young master, if you ask him for the stars in the sky, he will also find a way to pick them off for you, isn't it good to use his heart? The end looks like a knowledgeable person. ”

Han Jiangyuan was silent, and Xiao Han Ye felt a wave of anger rushing to his head from his heart, as if he was humiliated in the middle.

Yuan Zhen took a sip of tea and said, "Have you said enough?" ”

The man seemed to have returned his soul, only to realize that what he was in front of was not a young master who was easy to talk to, but a majestic master, and it became a habit to talk to the young master without rules on weekdays, but now he forgot the rules, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave lost his words, the slave should be damned......"

"Speaking of which, you are just dissatisfied with him being the steward of the house, and think that he is a newcomer, and you think that you are more qualified to be the steward than him, don't you?"

"The slave doesn't mean that......" Several people hugged their heads together and shouted grievances, Yuan Zhen snorted disdainfully, "Do you know in your own hearts, why I don't give you the position of housekeeper, you should also weigh it in your hearts, fish in troubled waters all day long, lazy and foolish, think I don't even know, right?" ”

Several people were terrified, and they all knew that he rarely used the word 'I' in the mansion, because he regarded the Yuwang Mansion as his home, and when he returned home, he got along with several young masters and young ladies like fathers and sons of ordinary people, and they never needed to kowtow to say hello. At this time, the use of 'I' shows how angry he is, and several of them must be more than lucky......

"The Emperor forgives ...... sins"

"I think I can hide from the world, but in fact, I am a clown." Yuan Zhen stood up and said, "My family can't tolerate you people with broken mouths and unclean things, I hate others chewing the root of your tongue behind your back the most in my life, and you will be fined 50 rods, deducted for two years, and immediately expelled from the mansion, and you will not be allowed to set foot in the capital in the future." ”

"Huh?" They all felt like thunder, and they knelt on the ground, not even begging for mercy.

After such a rectification, few people in the house talked about the rights and wrongs of others when chatting, and the people in the house were also polite to Han Jiangyuan's father and son at first, but later found that Han Jiangyuan was a very good person through getting along, and they became familiar with them.
