Since you can't keep it, then don't keep it. There's nothing special about this guy, and he's not unusual.

The horse's hooves galloped, taking him around half of Yukijo, and finally calmed him down. When he returned to Xiao's house, the butler was waiting for him on the steps.

"Second Young Master. Holding a letter in his hand, the housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "Letter from the Du family." ”

The letter from the Du family will not be someone else's, but will only be Du Wenrou's mother-in-law, the mother of the Du family.

It is also interesting to say, this Mrs. Du is very good at gambling, every time she owes a debt and asks Du Wenrou to pay it back, Du Wenrou used to ask him for help, and he also deducted her monthly money, added a little more, and sent it back to Mrs. Du every month. Rao made his daughter so embarrassed, and this Mrs. Du had no intention of repenting, and she asked for more and more silver every month.

"I won't bother with that anymore. Xiao Jingtang said: "Give it directly to the second young grandmother." ”

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Do you want to give it directly to the second young grandmother?"

"Hmm. After getting off the horse and walking to the house, Xiao Jingtang said: "From today on, the whereabouts of the second young grandmother do not need to be told to me, and no matter what happens to the entire courtyard of the West Courtyard, there is no need to come and tell me." ”

Is this to completely snub the second young grandmother? Steward Xiao was startled and followed behind him and said, "Wasn't it okay before?" The things you ordered to buy for the second young grandmother were just brought back, so why did you ...... them?"

"I'm stupid. Interrupting his words, Second Young Master Xiao sneered: "I thought that since it was my woman, I would love her more or less and let her do a little bit, but people don't take it seriously at all, so why should I leave any room for her." ”

With that, he threw up his sleeves and walked to his yard.

The little butler couldn't react a little, and stood still and didn't follow. After he figured out what his young master meant, the voice of the second young grandmother had already come from behind him.

"Huh?" gently pulled Ling back with his eyebrows, looked at the housekeeper standing in the middle of the road, and asked in a good mood, "What are you doing standing here?"

Her body stiffened, and Steward Xiao turned around and saluted her: "The second young grandmother just came back from outside?"

"yes, I went out with my eyebrows to buy something. He raised the box in his hand and smiled softly: "Why don't you look good?"

"Ah...... The old slave is fine. Coughing twice, Steward Xiao asked tentatively, "Have you met the second young master outside?"

Xiao Jingtang shook his head gently: "No, is he back?"

"Came back, in the yard. ”

"That's fine. Gentle didn't care, and said with a smile: "I'm going to have dinner with my eyebrows." ”

“...... The second young grandmother and Aunt Ling walked slowly. Steward Xiao bowed down, looked down at the two skirts and swept over, and wondered even more.

I thought it was the second young grandmother who quarreled with the second young master outside, so the second young master was so angry, but it looks like the second young grandmother doesn't know anything?

"Master. ”

As soon as she sat down in Ling Wangmei's courtyard, before Gentle Rou could come out to take the things she bought, she saw Shu Fang come over with a look of embarrassment and said, "There is a letter from home." ”

"Finally have a family letter?" Wen Wen is quite happy, she has been here for so long, she has not seen what the family letters of the ancients look like, and the poems say that the family letters are worth 10,000 gold, so you have to take a good look at them.

A somewhat crumpled envelope, pulling out a thin piece of paper. Squinting his eyes and looking into the envelope, to make sure there was nothing else, Gentleness unfolded the letter to look at it.

"Emergency, if it is difficult to repay 5,000 taels of silver next month, it will be difficult to protect the status of the mother, and I am afraid that two families will be implicated. ”

I looked at the letter over and over again, and there was really just one sentence on it, and there was no such thing as trying to add food, just a simple and direct sentence - five thousand taels.

Five thousand taels of silver? Gentle chin almost fell to the ground, this is a fraud letter, right? It must be a fraud letter, I didn't expect that there was no text message in ancient times, and she could be deceived with letters, she couldn't believe it!

Stretched out his hand and tore up the letter, and gently returned the fragments to Shu Fang: "Take it and throw it away." ”

"Master?" Shu Fang was frightened: "This is Madame's handwritten letter, throw it away?"

Gently shook her head: "Who must have imitated your wife's handwriting, how could it be so much silver, Du Wenrou's monthly money is only a few dozen taels a month?"

Ling Wangmei sat next to him, and said with some hesitation: "The second young grandmother is worried about the eyebrows, and there is something that the eyebrows have not said. ”

"How?"

"When you were in a dilemma with us before, Lan Jin was angry and peeked at the Du family's family letter. Ling frowned and said: "Since then, everyone has discussed whether to endure it, and it is not easy for the second young grandmother." ”

In other words, such letters are often sent by the Du family? Gentle and dumbfounded: "Didn't you lie to me?"

Shu Fang next to him sighed.

"But...... It doesn't make sense. A little confused, she looked at the letter that was torn apart by her and said, "I can't take out so much money at all, why does she still ask me?"

Because Liu was forced to be in a hurry, he couldn't think of any other way to do this. Shu Fang's face was full of sighs: "The master might as well beg the second young master, in the past, this kind of letter, the second young master was directly stopped, but today maybe the amount of silver is too large, so that the second young master is angry." ”

Ask Xiao Jingtang to be softly stunned: "Will he help me?"

"It's always been given by the second young master. Shu Fang whispered: "Madam probably also knows that the second young master has silver, so she dares to open such a big mouth." ”

Gentleness: "......"

It's really not strange that Du Wenrou can't like Xiao Jingtang, even if his three views are not correct, this mother is not much better. Stretched out his hand and asked his mother-in-law for silver, even if his mother-in-law is rich, he shouldn't help you raise people, isn't this dragging down Du Wenrou's status in the Xiao family?

"Let her pay her own debts. He pursed his lips and said gently, "The second young master doesn't owe her either." ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Jingtang actually fulfilled his duties as a son-in-law, and helped his mother-in-law pay off his debts every month, and then put on Du Wenrou, a wife who loves to toss, and an aunt who doesn't love him in this yard......

It's miserable to think about.

Gently sighed for a while, and suddenly thought: "Eyebrows, let's prepare a dinner for the second young master." ”

"Why?" he said, "It's always been prepared in the kitchen." ”

"Because the second young master is really miserable!" said gently: "Let's eat and drink his here, and occasionally express it, comfort his wounded heart, and increase the harmony of getting along, how about it?"

Anyway, there is nothing to do when he is idle, Ling frowned and lowered his eyes: "Okay, listen to the second young grandmother." ”

Be busy, and when she gets busy, she won't think about all that mess.
