Quy Nhon Place.

He Laosi, the Ouyang family's concierge today, felt very depressed after drinking the northwest wind for half a day and getting little benefit.

It is said that it is almost the Chinese New Year, and if in previous years at this time there would always be some colleagues coming and going, and relatives coming around. No matter what the reason is, they will always give the concierge some favors. This is why the prime minister's concierge is said to be a seventh-grade official. But this year, since After the head of the family, Ouyang Jin, was fined, all social interactions were greatly reduced, leaving them with little to gain.

Thinking about it, it's really better to go with the young master. Like that Tuesday, I was worse than him at first, but after working with the young master, although it's not that bad, the work every day is quite hard, but the benefits are good there Ah. As soon as it got cold, the eldest young master gave out new cotton-padded clothes to the servants over there. The ones were thicker and much stronger than those given in the house. His father wore them last night and came to his house for a visit. He was envious of his own father. Yes, I turned around and scolded him for his lack of vision.

I heard that the food there is very good every day, and no one pays attention to the waiting time. Everyone eats the same meal while doing the same job, and you can see large pieces of fish every day. The kid got fat on Tuesday. It is said that now I'm still thinking about learning some crafts, hoping to promote him to a steward in the future!

Father Zhou said that he was just imagining things, but who couldn't hear the showoff behind his words?

He Laosi snorted in his heart. When he knew where Tuesday was assigned, this old man was half as short as anyone he saw, but now look at how strong his waist is!

But it's no wonder that the young master over there is still doing business with his sister from Beijing. I heard that the business is very good. Laixi's mother has been so happy all day long that she always praises her daughter's beauty when she meets everyone. He is capable. He said that he has to earn his own dowry. Some people who originally looked down on her family now want to propose marriage, but they have to be picked on by her family.

The more He Laosi thinks about it, the more itchy his heart becomes, and the more he thinks about it, the more active his mind becomes. How can he find a way to send him there too? The eldest young master is injured right now, and so is the master and his wife. Why don't you send a few people over to take care of him? I was complaining in my heart when suddenly, someone came up to me and called me "big brother".

He Laosi glanced sideways and saw that he was a handsome man. He was around thirty, and he looked like he was a slave. However, his clothes were not bad, so he must be doing well.

After working as a concierge for so long, I can basically guess the purpose of a person's visit at a glance. I just walked to the door of my house when I had nothing to do. Is he probably here to inquire about something?

"Is something wrong?" He responded with a lukewarm response, and He Laosi put on airs and waited for the benefits.

As expected, that man was also a wise man. He immediately handed over a silver coin and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious. I just want to inquire about the young master of your house..."

When He Laosi heard this, he retracted his hand that originally took the money. He became more alert and said, "What are you asking my eldest young master for?"

Not to mention that the second young master had specifically told him when he came back two days ago that anyone who inquired about the eldest young master and Sister Mu was not allowed to speak out. Even if he didn't tell anyone, there are so many people in the house thinking about currying favor with them, who would? Are you talking too much about this?

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just want to ask, where is the sister next to your eldest young master from?"

What does it have to do with you? He Laosi just wanted to stab him a few words. Suddenly he saw the second young master coming back and quickly stood up to greet him. The man was startled and hid quickly.

Ouyang Zhuang dismounted and looked over, "Who is that person and why are they here?"

"I don't know. I came to ask about our eldest young master and Mu... no, it's about Sister Zhu, but the younger one didn't say anything."

Ouyang Zhuang frowned and thought to himself, no wonder the eldest brother had to tell me something, someone really came to inquire about it. He didn't know what the reason was, so it was better to be cautious.

"Well, you did a good job."

After complimenting him, He Laosi rolled his eyes and said attentively, "Second Young Master, I think that man is sneaky and seems to have bad intentions. Why don't you go to the Eldest Young Master's place and follow him over there?"

The person in charge also called back and told them to be careful."

Ouyang Zhuang hesitated and said, "It's almost time to eat. Why don't I let you know when I go to see my brother tomorrow?"

"Isn't it just a delay? It's okay! Second Young Master, you are a person who does big things, how can you worry about these small things all day long? Just let the younger one go for a run." It was rare for He Laosi to have a chance to show off, so he immediately found someone to come out.

I took over his shift and ran away non-stop.

Ouyang Zhuang was very happy that his servant could be so diligent. When he turned around and entered the house, Mrs. Tan felt a little embarrassed when she saw him.

Although her son has come back these days, he always complains about her. Although he doesn't say it, there are some little knots between mother and son.

Mrs. Tan calmly thought about what happened that day, and she felt that she had gone too far. Even though she was worried that Mrs. Tan would not come to her house to make trouble, she really shouldn't have sent her away with twenty taels of silver. Fortunately, her son was sensible.

It's better to pass, otherwise if you go out and meet someone later, what excuses should you use to cover up your shame?

"You're back. Did you have a hard time at the office today? Have you visited your brother?"

Seeing her greeting her with a cautious look, Ouyang Zhuang sighed secretly. If a son does not blame his mother, even if Tan did something wrong, she is still his mother. How can she still be a lifelong enemy?

"The Yamen is fine. I went to see my brother when I came back. He is much better now and can even sit up."

"I know there's nothing serious about him!" After he started speaking, Ouyang Jin entered the room quietly, pretending to be lecturing others, "If a small matter makes such a big noise, turn around and let him take care of himself."

Go to the Duke's Mansion and apologize! And that country girl, I'm determined not to stay anymore! Hey, where are you going?"

Ouyang Jin wanted to say more, but Ouyang Zhuang had already walked out, "I'm tired and want to sleep."

I really can't stand listening to it anymore. If it weren't for his father, he would have started a quarrel with others!

Is there anyone who talks like this? You are a coward at home, and the girl went to seek justice for your son. As a father, you still dislike him and want to drive him away? Why do you do that?!

Mrs. Tan didn't want to see Ouyang Jin either, but she was half of the accomplice in this matter, so she kindly advised Ouyang Jin, "Even the emperor has sent the imperial doctor to see me. I have prepared medicinal materials. Why don't you sir?"

Let’s go over and take a walk.”

Although she didn't have the nerve to go there, it was still okay to give Ouyang Kang something to ease the relationship. But Ouyang Jin snorted coldly. "A woman's opinion! Although the emperor sent the imperial doctor over, it was just for Su Cheng's sake.

Above. The matter has not been finalized yet, so you should think twice before acting."

Then think about it slowly! If you are not afraid of people poking your spine from behind, what should I be afraid of? Anyway, my son has been there, and even if I, the stepmother, am not in good shape, I will not be in any bad shape.

Mrs. Tan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so she went in and sent someone to deliver the medicinal materials and things she had prepared to Ouyang Kang.

The man happened to meet He Laosi in the past. Since he was in time for the meal, he had already eaten there. While eating, he surrounded Zhongshan to show his courtesy.

The man looked down on that flattering look, but when Zhong Shan also invited him to come and eat together, he couldn't help but sit down. He had heard that the food here in Poyuan was good and delicious, so since he had the chance.

Eat is a fool. By the way, I also asked him if he has a chance to stay. When it comes to ability, he is much better than He Laosi!

In a clean ordinary alley, a man opened the door of his house with a loud bang, came in angrily and shouted, "Don't let me do this kind of thing in the future. It's so frustrating!"

Mother Lu was having dinner with her daughter-in-law and grandson. When she saw her son coming back, she put down her chopsticks and raised her head from the kang, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I just ask you to inquire about something? How did it happen like this?"

"You have the nerve to say that!" The man sat down angrily, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one sip before saying, "I went to Ouyang's house first, and the money was sent out before I sent it out. Then I went to that shabby garden.

, the two janitor kids were as guarded against people as they were against thieves. I used money to buy candies to coax them, but they threw stones at me! I was really pissed off! If things like this happen in the future, please be patient.

Go ahead and stop calling me!"

Mother Lu scolded, "How many years have you been allowed to do one thing, but you only complain to the heavens and the earth after two times? It's such a good life that my bones are loose. If I had known, I would have detained you in the house. How can you still do it?"

Can you have such a gentlemanly temper?"

The daughter-in-law hurriedly advised, "Mom, please don't be angry. Don't you know your own son's temperament? He is such a person. How can he do the things you are so discerning about?"

The man muttered, "That's it, if you have nothing to do, ask what the young master and his sister are doing? How can they hinder you?"

"What do you know?" Mother Lu slammed the table in anger, but she swallowed her words again, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you!"

"Forget it!" But the man hummed and asked, "It's been a few days since you came back. When will you go back? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so it's more serious to coax my wife to give me more money."

"Are you still not satisfied? Madam has already given you this house and the farms in the suburbs to take care of. She doesn't want you to work as an errand in the house and eat, drink and have fun at home all day long. What else do you need money for?"

"Mom, that's not what he meant." The daughter-in-law hurriedly took over the words, "Isn't it that the baby is getting older every day? You have to have money to study and hire a husband or something. Our family has only been passed down for several generations, and you only have one son, and another one like this

Grandson, shouldn't you keep a close eye on him? Besides, while Madam is here, ask for more money, even if you don't give it to us, you can keep it for self-defense."

Hearing her daughter-in-law mention her little grandson, Mother Lu's face softened. Older people always prefer the younger ones. What's more, her husband died early, leaving only such a son and a grandson. No matter how incompetent the son is, it will always be his fault.

The fallen meat and grandson are her lifeblood.

Just for him, she should be more calculating. Considering the things she has done for Mrs. Tan, what's wrong with asking for some benefits?

"Grandma, eat!" Seeing her little grandson thoughtfully putting his favorite chicken legs into his bowl, Mother Lu felt soft. Otherwise, let's just forget about it and just try to build some virtue for her grandson.

Anyway, the Duke can't see her, so what's the use of looking so similar? Besides, he has already recognized his daughter, and she has issued an imperial edict, can she still change her?

It's time for her to return to the Duke's Mansion. That beggar girl has caused such a big disturbance and there is no movement yet. She should be fine, right?
