Chapter 140: Childe Returns Home
Within a few days, the news that Han Bing, the son of Zuo Xiang, was infatuated with Miss Qingluo and lingered in Yuanfang Pavilion all day long caused quite a stir in the capital. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
That's a Qingluo girl who is admired by countless young talents in the capital! Why would such a beautiful woman fall in love with a gentleman who causes trouble all day long and doesn't do his job? In addition to giving birth to a beautiful face that makes all men in the world want to step on a few feet, where is there anything worthy of Qingluo girl?!
As a result, this son of Zuo Xiang, who was originally rumored to be a joke because of his pretending to be a girl, immediately aroused public anger, and even the gangsters on the street felt insulted, thinking that even if the Qingluo girl liked herself, she was much stronger than the embroidered pillow!
Xia Huan'er also heard the news, although she was a little sad, but she was more upset about her master. What's so good about that Qingluo girl? It's just that she can play a few tunes! On martial arts, on appearance, on family background, on temperament, on ...... What is she worthy of her master?
Just when Miss Huan'er was indignant, she happened to hear that the little gangsters were also indignant, so misfortune happened......
When the faces of those little gangsters were stepped on by Miss Huan'er a few times, they finally cried and shouted that the cold ice boy was definitely worthy of Miss Qingluo!
Xia Huan'er was a little proud at first, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was not good, so she stepped on the faces of those gangsters a few more times, helping them completely change their concepts-Han Bing's son is unparalleled in kung fu, beauty, nobility, and virtue......
In short, the cold ice boy is a strange man who is unparalleled in the world, and that Qingluo girl is not worthy of him at all!
At this time, it happened that Song Qingfeng and General Song were passing by here, and when he saw the tragic situation of those little gangsters, he couldn't help but feel compassion, and even persuaded him to take this Huan'er girl who had not yet vented her resentment out of the city, and galloped with her on the fields in the suburbs, gradually leaving behind those troubles that should not belong to her.

"It's a good prime minister's son, but he pretends to be a woman to sing a play, it's already nondescript! And now he is still infatuated with a woman in a green house, and he soaks in Yuanfang Pavilion all day long, which is even more unseemly! This -- this is clearly disgraced by the face of Lord Zuo Xiang!"
Listening to the heart-wrenching accusation of the old housekeeper Xu, Su Xiangzhu, the wife of the left minister, just smiled faintly and asked, "Today, the eldest prince went to Yuanfang Pavilion again?"
Old Butler Xu sighed and nodded, and replied: "The master has already ordered, and the eldest prince will go, as long as he doesn't stay there at night." It's just that if it goes on like this, won't he lose all the face of this prime minister's mansion?!"
Old housekeeper Xu used to be from the Su Mansion, and he was specially sent by Master Su Wenqiu to help his married daughter manage the affairs of the mansion, so of course he wanted to favor his own young lady in his heart, and he couldn't help but be extremely unkind to Han Bing, a sudden intruder.
Of course, Su Xiangzhu understands the dissatisfaction in the heart of the old housekeeper Xu, and her own heart is not full of resentment? In fact, she also knows very well in her heart that all this is not Han Bing's fault, after all, it is 'the fault of her father if she can't raise it, her father's fault', Han Bing has been abandoned by her father for many years, and it is inevitable that she will become dissolute and rude under no one to discipline her.
It's a pity that the human intellect can't completely control emotions after all. No matter how hard Su Xiangzhu tried to make herself calm, every time she heard the name "Han Bing", she still couldn't help but feel a wave of anxiety in her heart. What's more, his son Shiyu, who has always been regarded as the meat of his heart, was bullied by Han Bing, the so-called brother, in every way, and was injured for many days!
Thinking of Shiyu, Su Xiangzhu's mother's heart couldn't help but start hurting again. When he was able to get out of bed, he ran to Huiyuan by himself, and when he saw that the door was locked, the sensible child didn't ask anything, and turned back silently. But the next day he went again, and said nothing to the lock. Day 3, Day 4...... He just kept going there.
After being silent for a long time, Su Xiangzhu finally sighed helplessly, and said, "Since the master has already explained, Steward Xu, you don't care, and let him go!" After a slight pause, she gritted her teeth and continued, "Also, from today onwards, the lock of Huiyuan will be removed—"
Old housekeeper Xu looked at his wife, sighed as well, and nodded silently.
Even Su Xiangzhu herself didn't expect that as soon as Huiyuan's lock was removed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She saw that the long-lost smile on her husband's face had returned, but now there was a hint of expectation in his eyes, which should be hoping that the son who was wandering away would return home as soon as possible.
And the biggest change is Shiyu. Every day when he came back from the palace to study, he went to Huiyuan and stayed in his brother's courtyard for an hour. Listening to the old housekeeper Xu, he was secretly practicing by himself there. It seems that this kid is indeed obsessed with martial arts, and he is not completely forced by the ice.
Within two days, Han Bing really returned to the mansion. In fact, everyone in the house knows that this eldest prince has always gone back to the house to sleep every night, but he left again before dawn. No one could tell exactly when he had returned or left, only the man in charge of cleaning the room had seen the marks of someone sleeping on the bed.
The people in the house are thinking that it stands to reason that after this toss, whether it is the lady or the eldest prince Hanbing, they should all be reined in, no longer needle-pointed, and continue to quarrel meaninglessly.
It's a pity that this good wish of theirs was completely shattered from the first day that Han Bing officially returned home!
The cause is naturally for the little son Shiyu. Originally, as soon as the eldest prince Han Bing came back, he announced in public that he would no longer teach Shiyu to practice martial arts. As soon as the people in the house heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, thinking that the world would be peaceful from now on.
Who knows, Han Bing immediately announced two more news: one is that he has asked Weiyuan General Song Qingfeng to be Shiyu's master, and the other is that Han Bing himself is going to start teaching Shiyu to sing Hui opera.
This first news did not cause much repercussions. Su Xiangzhu was even more relieved when he heard it, at least General Song is a hero of the resistance to Rong, he is honest and selfless, and if he teaches Shiyu martial arts, he will definitely not have a bad heart like Han Bing and deliberately bully Shiyu.
But this second news is unacceptable to anyone! Even the little boy Shiyu was stunned for a long time after hearing this, not knowing what his brother was thinking about!
Su Xiangzhu was even more angry when she heard this, she didn't expect that this kid Han Bing would bully Shiyu in such a different way, and she would make the Prime Minister lose more face! She immediately went to complain to her husband, and Leng Yiqing frowned when she heard it, and she didn't allow Han Bing to mess around like this.
But Han Bing has a lot of truth there - Shiyu is silent and shy, and he can exercise through singing, which will definitely make him more confident and outspoken. And singing itself is not a cheap thing, there were kings who learned opera in ancient times, and it was also rumored to be a beautiful talk. The most important point is that he taught Shiyu to sing, and the two brothers had more opportunities to get close, so as to make up for the lack of unseen and unfamiliar feelings for many years.
Although Leng Yiqing suspected that Han Bing should have another purpose, he believed that he would never do anything unfavorable to Shiyu, and the reasons he listed did have some truth. So, despite all the objections of his wife, the Lord Zuo nodded and agreed to Han Bing's extremely outrageous proposal.
But when will Su Xiangzhu, the wife of Zuo Xiang, be a fuel-efficient lamp again? This matter is related to her son's reputation and future, whether her husband agrees or not, anyway, she is resolutely opposed to it as a mother!
However, what made her feel very sad was that not only did her husband not have the same heart with her, but even her own son Shiyu was deceived by his ill-intentioned brother who didn't know what kind of rhetoric he used, and he obediently went to Huiyuan to learn drama every day.
In this way, in this prestigious mansion, a battle for the little prince Shiyu inevitably started between his wife Su Xiangzhu and the eldest prince......
Every day when Shiyu came back from the palace, Su Xiangzhu called him to his room, first ate some delicious snacks and fruits, and then asked him to help him transcribe some poetry collections. Her excuse is that her eyes are dazzled, and she can't see the small ones in the rare books.
However, this delay always had to be delayed until dinner, and after dinner, Shiyu had to do an evening class to practice the martial arts moves that Song Qingfeng had taught him in the morning. In this way, Shiyu has no leisure to go to Han Bing to learn drama again.
Han Bing naturally won't admit defeat easily, so he often runs to the back house to make trouble. Either eat up the snacks that Mrs. prepared for the little son, or steal the collection of poems that the lady prepared for the little boy to transcribe.
Although those subordinates were ordered to guard to the death, how could this eldest prince actually use his murderous skills to be a thief, and how could those subordinates look down on him? As a result, they were all reprimanded by his wife.
Although Su Xiangzhu hated it so much, she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, making things out of control and making it difficult for everyone to do. So, with the help of Old Butler Xu and other subordinates, the Zuo Xiang Lady and the eldest prince began a protracted game of cat and mouse.
On this day, after listening to Miss Qingluo's new song in Yuanfang Pavilion, Han Bing happily ridiculed Zhao Zhan, the commander of the forbidden army who had been waiting outside the door, and then returned to Zuo Xiangfu triumphantly.
As soon as he heard that the eldest prince had returned to the house ahead of schedule, the old housekeeper Xu's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly grabbed a young man who was cleaning the courtyard, and ordered: "Go and inform Madame, the eldest prince is back!
The young man immediately threw down the broom in his hand and strode towards the backyard, howling all the way: "The eldest prince is back! The eldest prince is back......
