As if by magic, Huai'an conjured up a delicate little wooden box with a pair of earrings with four gourds lying inside.

Xu Tinglan took it in surprise and gestured in his ear: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Huai'an said very seriously: "The thing is average, the main thing is that the mother makes it look good." ”

coaxed the good mother to bloom, and took Sister Peng over, and put the gold bracelet on her fleshy lotus-like little arm.

……

At night, the mother-in-law in the front yard came to spread the word that the old man had drunk too much, and the two little servants wanted to carry him into the inner house, so that she would inform him first.

When the house is bigger, there are many rules, and the manservant in the front yard enters the inner house to greet him in advance.

The father of the new champion, it's strange not to be drunk, Xu Tinglan nodded expectedly, and ordered someone to bring in the freshly boiled decanting soup.

As soon as the words fell, I saw two little servants coming in with their drunken husbands on their left and right, and went all the way to the East House.

Huai'an helped her mother and relatives to take off her father's clothes and take off her shoes and socks.

Shen Yu is like a soft-handed marionette, everyone fiddles with it. Seeing Xu Tinglan, he suddenly hummed and chirped: "Those people in the Ministry of Rites ...... Drinking like a bandit is really ...... Insulting Sven. ”

"Yes, yes, they're all bandits." Xu Tinglan casually perfunctory and poured sobering soup into his mouth.

"If you don't drink it, you can't drink it." Shen Yu shook his head as he pushed and shoved.

Xu Tinglan was helpless, so he had to say: "Huaiming High School champion, this is a great joy for the glorious lintel, and you must drink a full cup." ”

"Really?" Shen Yu smiled vaguely: "Then you have to drink." ”

As he spoke, he took the decanting soup and poured it down.

"Good wine, good wine." Xu Tinglan coaxed him like a child, patting him on the back while helping him lean against the head of the bed.

Huai'an sighed: "This is too easy to persuade, no wonder you are drunk like this." ”

Xu Tinglan handed over her husband to her son, turned out of the inner room, and asked the little girl: "The master is drunk like this, what about the uncle?" ”

"Uncle also drank a lot, and went back to the East Courtyard to rest." The little guy said.

Xu Tinglan nodded and called his son: "Huai'an, take the decanting soup to see your eldest brother." ”

When the son grows up, he is a good caller.

Huai'an carried the food box, walked through the courtyard, and came to the east courtyard.

Huaiming is focused on reading, the yard is clean and chic, and there is nothing bright and eye-catching. The little maid came out of the house and saluted Huai'an: "Brother An is here, Uncle wants to stay alone for a while, let us come out first." ”

Huai'an said: "I know. ”

Big brother Xijing, this whole day has been noisy, and his brain must have exploded. Therefore, Huai'an tiptoed into the inner room, only to see that the elder brother had changed into a champion red robe, leaning against the head of the bed, closing his eyes, and his breath was even, as if he was sleeping soundly.

He gently put the food box on the desk, and was about to leave, when he found that there was a Zihao on the table that had not yet been opened, good things, good things, steal it! Look at the shelf again, a good shengxuan is very suitable for painting, steal it! Loose smoke ink, steal! Stone inkstone, steal! The palace test is over, and of course these inexhaustible stationery must be passed on to his good brother.

He slipped away with a basket of doggy welt, slipped halfway through, and kicked the stool carelessly, making a "bang" sound.

Huai'an was stunned for a while, holding his breath, and then looked at his brother, but there was no reaction.

"That's how much you drank, sleeping so deeply." Huai'an muttered softly.

Suddenly, he put the basket aside, took a small pen from the pen stand, dipped it in ink, and quietly slipped to the side of the old brother's bed, covering his mouth and snickering, intending to draw a mustache on his face.

Before he put down the pen, Huaiming suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed his wrist, hooked his hand, locked his throat, and cut his hands back, all in one go.

Huai An exclaimed: "Big brother, you're not drunk!" ”

Huaiming sneered: "At my age, with my father in front of me, how much can I drink?" ”

Huai'an suddenly remembered that the eldest brother was only seventeen years old, and everyone likes to drink champions, but who would really fill a minor? O Versailles, O Versailles of the Red Fruit!

"Brother, it hurts, it hurts, I'm wrong, I'm wrong!" Huai'an wailed: "If you have something to say, you have something to say!" ”

"What do I have to say to you?" Huai Ming gritted his teeth and tightened his arm.

Huai'an struggled twice: "Brother, you let go of me, I'll show you a good thing, and you won't be angry after reading it." ”

"What's that?" Huai Ming spread only one hand.

Huai An took out a hairpin from his sleeve: "Oh, you give it to my future sister-in-law, she must like it." ”

Huai Ming let him go completely, took the hairpin, and saw that there were two butterflies on the hairpin, and the shoulders and antennae were trembling, as if they would fly into the air in the next moment.

Beauty is beautiful, but in the eyes of a man like Huaiming, the hairpins look similar.

"How do you know she likes it?" He asked.

Huai An smiled: "I went to Mengxiangzhai today and met my future sister-in-law - I didn't bother her - she was picking out jewelry, she should have fallen in love with this hairpin." But you see that this process is not ordinarily expensive, so you put it down again. I was gone, and when I turned around, I had someone quietly buy it back. ”

As he spoke, his footsteps had slipped to the door, and he ran away while the old brother was not paying attention.

"Stop!"

Huai Ming thought of the vertical banner he pulled in front of the whole city during the day, put aside the hairpin, and chased after him all the way to the upper room.

Huai'an saw that the good mother was coming out of the east house, as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Mother, help!" ”

Xu Tinglan saw that the brothers were about to fight, so she pretended that someone in the house called her, and said, "Hey, it's here." Then he turned and went back to the house.

When Huai'an was stunned, Huai Ming grabbed him: "Isn't it always with you?" What do you run? ”

Huai An smiled and said: "That's just a rebuttal, used to set off the atmosphere, you're going to beat me up, and I'm not going to run?" ”

Huai Ming glanced at him, there was no way to take this younger brother, and Zhengse asked, "How much did the hairpin cost?" ”

"Not much," Huai'an laughed, "I don't talk about this between brothers." ”

Huai'an's mouth is atmospheric, his heart is dripping with blood, God has eyes, this was originally a wedding gift he prepared for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but now the pen, ink, paper and inkstone have not been stolen, in order to save his life, he put the hairpin in advance, and he has to spend an extra money to prepare a congratulatory gift!

Stealing chickens doesn't make rice!

Chapter 114

Sister Peng ran out of the house with a tiger head pillow to see the excitement, but the two brothers had already made a truce, stood in place and waited for a while, and there was no sign of re-fighting, so she went back to the room to sleep with her little short legs angrily.

Xu Tinglan also came out of the inner room and asked Huaiming with concern how he felt.

Huai Ming smiled: "It's out of the way, mother, I didn't drink a few glasses, my father taught me to pretend to be drunk." ”

Xu Tinglan laughed and laughed, and still ordered someone to bring kudzu root water to relieve hangover, and some easy-to-digest snacks, and served Huai'an a plate of sugar oranges.

The mother and son were talking for a while, and Yun Ling came in and said, "There's a shopkeeper in the front yard, looking for Brother An." ”

"Looking for me?"

Huai'an put down the refreshments and came to the front yard, and saw that it was Sun Dawu.

Sun Dawu ran to see sweat on his forehead, disturbing the owner so late, and said with some surprise: "The owner, Zhao Erda Fengni, the women's union is not honest when it goes to pull the fight, and now it is tied up in the yard, everyone doesn't know what to do, come and ask the owner to show it." ”

Huai'an stared: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

After walking a few steps, he stopped again, returned to the inner house and said to his mother, Xu Tinglan said: "Go out again with enough people, go early and return early." ”

On the way, Sun Dawu briefly explained the cause and effect to Huai'an: "Zhao Er thinks that Feng Ni doesn't earn as much as Sanniang, and he drank some wine with his brother in the evening, and when he returned to the house, he began to make trouble. ”

Huai'an sighed in his heart, and what he was most worried about still happened: "Sure enough, the social system is not perfect, and rashly hiring women to work will increase oppression." ”

"What did you say?" Sun Dawu asked.

Huai'an said: "I didn't say it, fortunately, my master, I was far-sighted and established a women's union in advance." ”

As the night deepened, a few lanterns were lit in the courtyard of the bookstore.

Feng Ni sat in the corner and wiped her tears. Zhao was sitting under a lantern with his feet tied, and the sisters of the women's union were surrounding him, reasoning bitterly.

"Feng Ni is young, her body is weak, she has worked very hard, the shopkeepers don't think she has done less, you dislike it, without her to supplement the family, can you drink this wine?"

Zhao Er rolled his eyes while he was drinking: "I beat my mother-in-law, and the county lord in the yamen can't take care of it, so I want you to take care of it...... Let go of me, is there any royal law?! ”

"Wang Fa, right?" Huai'an raised his eyebrows and strode into the courtyard: "Lu Zhixian of Daxing County is my uncle, at most one sentence, you can't take care of yourself in life, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

As he spoke, he instructed He Wen and He Wu to pick him up: "Let's go, go to the county office!" ”

Zhao Er was so frightened that he immediately went limp: "The owner, I was wrong, the owner, I'm not a person, I drank and drowsy and made a fool!" ”

Huai An smiled angrily: "Aren't you very sober?" ”

"I've really drunk too much, boss, you spare me!" Zhao Erdao.

"Drinking too much?" Huai'an asked rhetorically: "Why don't you go to the shopkeeper, why don't you dare to hit the owner, only dare to beat the daughter-in-law?" ”

"I, I, I, I ......"

"Director Yao, what did we stipulate before?" Huai'an asked.

Yao Cuicui stood up from Feng Ni's side and said loudly: "I just asked Feng Ni, and she said that she doesn't want to live with you again, whether she wants to set up a female household in the future, or marry someone else, it has nothing to do with you." ”

"What?!" Zhao Er thought he had heard it wrong, and he slapped him down and beat himself into a bachelor?

Huai An secretly gave Feng Ni a thumbs up in her heart, she is really a brave and sober girl, who dares to break through the shackles of the world and stay away from such a man.

He turned to Sun Dawu and said: "Let Zhao Er move to the front yard today, don't step into the third courtyard for half a step, and roll up the covers to send him out of Beijing within three days." ”

Zhao Er wept bitterly and begged bitterly.

Huai'an was unmoved: "Let Shopkeeper Ding arrange for you to work in a soap factory in a neighboring province, or you can go back to your hometown to find another way out." Take him away. ”

The last sentence was said to He Wen and He Wu, Zhao Er regretted not being at the beginning, cried into a puddle of mud, and was dragged out. Not only did he become a bachelor, but he also lost his precious household registration in the capital, can he not cry.

"Be content, the owner has at least left you a way to live." He Wen couldn't stand it anymore, and said to him: "Let go of a good life, but don't do it to death." ”

……

Huai'an stood up the steps and swept his gaze over everyone: "Taking advantage of the large number of people today, I emphasize once again that since I have hired female workers, I will protect their rights." Do things on my turf, abide by my rules, I will never treat everyone badly, if you are reluctant, go out and turn right and do not send, if you are dissatisfied, even if you go to the yamen to sue, I will accompany you to the end! ”

Everyone palpitated for a while, forgetting for a moment that the person talking in front of them was just a nine-year-old child, and they all replied silently: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Huai'an was sullen, and on the way home, Changxing was coaxing him to be happy: "The master looks very much like the master today." ”

Huai'an looked up: "Really? ”

Changxing nodded firmly: "It's simply majestic, arrogant, domineering, and aggressive!" ”
