Chapter 8 My brother is not a fool

Afterwards, the Marquis opened the door and walked straight out. Both the wet nurse and Zhang Anchu were shocked by this scene.

When the Marquis saw Zhang Anchu outside the courtyard gate, he felt a little uncomfortable. He walked up to her and said, "Why are you out so late?"

"Come to visit Aunt Bai and my brother." Zhang Anchu was a little scared. He had lost his temper just now, and she was afraid that he would be angry again. Logically speaking, she should not mention it again, especially if she mentioned her brother, it would make the Marquis angry.

I feel even worse.

But I feel like I still have to tell the truth and be honest. This is what my elder brother said.

When the Marquis heard her mentioning his younger brother, Zhang Hongze, the Third Young Master who was said to be a fool by others, he became even more angry. He turned around and said to Aunt Bai's door: "I have given birth to so many children, and there is nothing wrong with any of them."

No, the son born by Aunt Bai is a fool. It seems that she is too lowly!"

The wet nurse knew that Mr. Hou was angry at this time, so she lowered her head and did not dare to raise it. She held Zhang Anchu's shoulder tightly with one hand and hugged her, not wanting Zhang Anchu to speak.

Zhang Anchu raised his head and looked at Peiping Hou, his father. He didn't know what he felt in his heart. He felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but he still didn't cry.

"Father, my brother is not a fool."

"Forgive me, Mr. Hou, but the third lady is still naive and doesn't understand anything." The nanny quickly knelt down and said, fearing that Mr. Hou's anger would be directed at Zhang Anchu.

The Marquis did not expect Zhang Anchu's daughter to be so courageous. She was not afraid of him when he was so angry just now, and she dared to contradict him. It was really surprising, but he thought that this daughter was so good-looking and would have a certain influence on him in the future.

Big benefit.

In addition, I am only five years old now and I don’t know a lot of things, so I have to endure the anger in my heart.

"You are so naive. I'll let you go for now. Later you will know whether what I said is right or not." The Peking Marquis snorted and threw up his sleeves and left. He didn't want to stay here. I was in a good mood, but today it's all gone.

.

Zhang Anchu looked at his leaving figure with an unclear expression.

The wet nurse quietly raised her head and saw that Mr. Hou was walking away. Then she stood up, patted the dirt on her body, and sighed: "Why are you and Mr. Hou so stubborn? Will you be able to take advantage of me?"

"What father said is wrong, my brother is obviously very smart!" Zhang Anchu said stubbornly.

In her eyes, Zhang Hongze is a smart kid. He can carve cute flowers and plants out of wood. Zhang Anchu has seen this before, and naturally feels that his brother is not a fool, but very smart.

However, she didn't know why her brother couldn't speak. He seemed to be living in his own world and ignored everyone else's words. He was very dull.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Hongze is a fool, and Zhang Anchu definitely does not think he is a fool.

"Hey..." The wet nurse shook her head and sighed, thinking that the third lady had a good heart, and she probably didn't like to hear others say that her brother was a fool, so she felt protective.

Unfortunately, a fool is a fool.

Zhang Anchu didn't say much to the nanny. She ran into Aunt Bai's room to see if she was okay.

Entering the room, he saw Aunt Bai wiping tears in front of the round table. Seeing Zhang Anchu come in, she quickly wiped the remaining tears on her face.

"Aunt Bai, why did your father bully you?" Zhang Anchu asked worriedly, pouting.

"The Marquis didn't bully me, he just said some words that made the Marquis unhappy." Aunt Bai was very uncomfortable. There were some things that she couldn't tell a kid like Zhang Anchu.

Besides, the wet nurse is here, so it’s hard for her to say anything.

No matter what, she also knew that the wet nurse belonged to Madam Hou, and the entire backyard of the Hou Mansion was Madam Hou's eyes and ears. How could she say something?

How could she now tell her five-year-old daughter about the dirty things she had gone through to get into the Marquis's mansion?

However, she didn't expect that Mr. Hou would still be resentful to this day.

I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart, thinking that if my sister entered the Hou Mansion, it might be a different situation.

In addition, just now, the Marquis called her lowly and her son was a fool, and he was very heart-wrenching, which also made her very tired.

"Nanny, take the third lady back, I want to rest early." Aunt Bai was in a low mood and didn't want to get along with her daughter. She just wanted the wet nurse to take Zhang Anchu back and have some quiet time by herself.

"Yes." The nanny took Zhang Anchu's little hand and started to pull her out.

At this moment, Zhang Hongze broke in. As soon as he came in, he hugged Zhang Anchu rashly and almost knocked her down. Fortunately, the nanny held her hand and the two of them did not fall down together.

When Aunt Bai saw it, she yelled: "What nonsense, let go of sister!"

But Zhang Hongze wouldn't let go and hugged Zhang Anchu tightly, as if he couldn't hear what she said.

"Aunt Bai, don't be upset. I'll go to my brother's room to play with him for a while, and then I'll see Aunt Bai after he's coaxed up." Zhang Anchu didn't mind at all, but was very happy. She knew it was because her brother missed her that he was like this.

Aunt Bai sighed and waved her hand to let him go, as long as she could be quiet for a while.

Zhang Anchu took his brother's hand and walked out the door, leading him back to his brother's room.

The room was in a mess, the floor was covered with papers, with many things drawn on them that Zhang Anchu couldn't understand, and some unknown things made of tree branches.

It's no wonder that no one has cleaned up. Zhang Hongze's room has never allowed maids to come in. Only Aunt Bai and Zhang Anchu can. If an outsider comes in, he will definitely roll around on the ground and even bang his head against the wall.

In this way, Aunt Bai didn't dare to let anyone else come in to clean it up, only she could do it herself.

I think that when the Marquis came over today, Aunt Bai didn't bother to clean up the place.

"Brother, what are you drawing?" Zhang Anchu casually picked up the paper on the ground and asked.

Zhang Hongze didn't answer her, he smiled, pulled her to the orchid, and pointed at the orchid.

Zhang Anchu frowned and looked at the paper in his hand. The lines drawn with a brush on it were curved. Then he looked at the orchid. Not to mention, she really saw that there were two similarities.

"My brother is great! He can draw orchids, but they still look a bit different. If he practices more, he will definitely draw well." Zhang Anchu not only praised him, but also encouraged him.

In her heart, she felt that her brother was already very powerful. When she was young, when she was only three years old, she probably had never used a writing brush. Even now, she doesn't have her own writing brush.

Zhang Hongze then pulled her to the edge of the inkstone, which was lying on the ground. He picked up the brushes randomly thrown on the ground, pulled out a piece of waste paper, glanced at the orchid, and lay down on the ground.

On the ground, draw on scrap paper.

The painting was done extremely seriously. Zhang Anchu squatted down, held his chin, and looked at it seriously and quietly.
