"Shh! Xiaowu, please keep your voice down!" "Master, I didn't make a sound!" "Nonsense! You didn't make a sound, could it be me? Shut up! You threw me during the day, and I returned it.
I didn’t settle the score with you!”
In the middle of the night, at the side door of Wan Mansion, the richest man in Luoyang, two figures sneaked towards the side door. They were none other than Wan He, the eldest young master of the Wan family, who had returned late, and his personal book boy Xiao Wu.
Let's say that after Wan He made a scene at Wanxiang Tower at noon, he had a drink with Li Jing at the inn where Li Jing was staying. Now even Li Jing was very drunk. Xiao Wu who was beside him was so tired that he started to fight.
He fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already past the time to go home! He hurriedly woke up Wan He and Li Jing, and then hurriedly said goodbye and embarked on his way home.
But now it's too late. By the time we arrive at Wanfu, it's already midnight! At this time, the door of Wanfu has already been closed. If you knock on the door, you will definitely alarm the old man. Now Wanhe is here.
Due to the smell of alcohol and coming home late, if the old man found out, he would definitely get a slap in the face! At this time, Xiao Wu, who was also afraid of being punished, gave Wan He an idea. The old man Liu who was guarding the side door belonged to Xiao Wu.
Uncle from afar, if you go through the side door, you may be able to sneak into the house. Wash yourself well, and then go to apologize to the master. At least there will be one less crime to blame.
Wan He thought that this was a solution. Then he would make up an excuse and say that he was detained by the master for tutoring lessons. If he fooled the old man, maybe he could get praise for studying hard! When he thought about it, Wan He was
Let Xiao Wu lead him to the side door, but the side door is in a small alley behind Wan Mansion. In such a quiet environment, even the slightest footsteps are very clear, which scares Young Master Wan.
It was a surprise, for fear of being discovered by others.
The two masters and servants tiptoed to the side door. Under the guidance of Wan He's eyes, Xiao Wu also carefully knocked on the door knocker of the side door. The crisp knocking sound of the door knocker seemed particularly loud in this alley, and it was also
They were startled by several barking dogs nearby, which made Wan He and Xiao Wu shrink their heads. After a long time, Xiao Wu dared to continue shouting softly: "Uncle! Uncle!"
After calling several times, there was no response at all from the side door. This made Wan He anxious. Wan He pulled Xiao Wu's sleeve and cursed in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, are you okay?"
Xiao Wu also felt a little guilty now. He suddenly remembered that his old uncle had a very fatal problem, that is, he was a little deaf. Originally, with such a problem, he should not be a gatekeeper, but Old Liu Tou was in Wanwan.
After working at home all his life, there was no merit but hard work. In addition, the side door was rarely used, so no one proposed to replace him. Thinking of this problem of old Liu Tou, Xiao Wu's face became a little confused.
It's ugly. Fortunately, it's dark all around and no one can see his face.
In the past, Xiao Wu wouldn't have cared much about this good-for-nothing young master. But after today, Xiao Wu felt more and more that the young master was different from before, and fear slowly arose in his heart. Listen.
Wan He lost his temper, Xiao Wu shrank his head, hurriedly patted the door knocker a few more times, and shouted: "Uncle! Uncle!"
As soon as Xiao Wu shouted these words, Wan He was shocked. It turned out that Xiao Wu was so anxious that he couldn't control his voice and actually shouted at the top of his lungs! Wan He quickly reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu.
Wu's mouth was covered, but unfortunately, everything was too late. Xiao Wu's high-pitched voice was already echoing in the night sky of Wanfu: "Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Uncle! Uncle..."
"
Wan He and Xiao Wu were froze as if a immobilizing spell had been cast on them. When they heard the echo slowly disappear, big beads of sweat flowed down their foreheads.
Staring at the boss, you look at me, I look at you, my heart sinks directly to the bottom of my feet!
"There is a thief!" "Catch the thief! Catch the thief!" "Where did the thief come from! He dares to steal into Wanfu!" "Woof! Woof!"
Soon, there was a burst of noise from Wan's house, and the originally quiet and dark alley was immediately brightly lit! Those Wan's servants were holding wooden sticks, hatchets, rolling pins, bricks, etc.
The murder weapons rushed out in a swarm, surrounding the poor master and servant Wan He, and the sound of the guard dog Wangcai was mixed in. It was really lively now! Wan He and Xiao Wu
Frightened by the sudden appearance of so many people, they both covered their faces with their sleeves and screamed: "Don't—!"
…
"You traitor!" Mr. Wan hit his cane so hard that the stone slabs in the hall almost jumped up. Looking at Wan He in ragged clothes, face covered with dust, and a big footprint on his chest, Mr. Wan felt so angry that he couldn't help but feel angry.
Hit one place! He pointed at Wan He with his crutch and cursed: "I asked you to go to study, but you came back smelling of alcohol and you came back so late? You really want to piss me off to death! My Wan family
My face has been completely shamed by you!"
Wan He was so scolded by the old man that he couldn't lift his head at all. He lowered his head and saw the footprints on his chest. He cursed in his heart: Which bastard is so wicked? Just kick him. He doesn't even wear shoes! God knows if this guy has athlete's foot?
After the chaos at the side door, the servants finally discovered that the person they had beaten so hard was none other than their eldest young master! Although people usually don’t pay much attention to this young master, he is still a young master after all! He was beaten
He was beaten up by his servants, and God knows what punishment he would receive! Someone quickly ran to notify the master, and someone else stepped forward to help Master Wanda up.
However, what pleased Wan He and the servants was that although they were beaten together, Xiao Wu fully demonstrated his loyalty at the most critical moment! He used his body to protect Wan He, except for being kicked in the chest at the beginning.
Apart from the one hit by the kick, Wan He's clothes were torn at most, but he didn't suffer any injuries. And the servant who gave Master Wan Da's footprints secretly put on his shoes and looked loyal.
The ground supported the eldest young master.
As for Xiao Wu, it was miserable. Not only did he receive a beating in place of Wan He, but when he returned to the yard, the furious Mr. Wan ordered another reward for Xiao Wu's family tricks.
The screams of Xiao Wu being beaten were heard!
"Brother! Forget it, don't be angry anymore! He'er's nature is like this, what can you do?" A middle-aged man sitting next to Wan Cheng looked much younger than Wan Cheng, but his appearance was harmonious.
Wan Cheng was somewhat similar, and he opened his mouth to comfort Wan Cheng. However, Wan He did not think that he was really that kind, because from this person's eyes, Wan He could clearly see his contempt and disdain for him. This person was Wan He.
He's third uncle, Wan Cheng's biological brother Wan Shan, although he is Wan He's biological uncle, Wan Shan has always looked down on Wan He. Of course, Wan Shan's son is too outstanding, which is also a reason, and the previous
Compared with Wan He, Wan Shan's son can indeed be regarded as a young hero.
Wan Shan didn't say anything but repaying it. After saying this, Wan Cheng became even more angry when he thought about the gap between his son and his eldest nephew. He glared at Wan He fiercely and yelled: "Get out of here! From now on!"
Starting tomorrow, you will live in a private school for me! If you let me know that you dare to leave the private school even half a step! I will break your legs!" Of course, there are also day students in private schools, but there are very few people like Wanhe in Luoyang City.
Will go and endure this hardship. In the past, Wan He was unwilling to endure hardship, so naturally he would not live in a private school. Today, Mr. Wan was so angry with Wan He that he forced Wan He to live in a private school!
If it were Wan He in the past, I'm afraid this punishment would have been severe enough. After all, he has been accustomed to fine clothes and fine food since he was a child. Now he suddenly has to go to a private school to eat pickles and white porridge, living a miserable life. How can he tolerate it? But for now
For this Wan He, there is no difference. After all, he has only enjoyed the good life for the past half month, and even if it is nothing, it doesn't matter. Besides, living here, he has to face the cold looks of the servants every day. For
For Wan He, it might be more comfortable to move out. The only difficult thing is that Mr. Wan said that he must stay in the private school and is not allowed to come out. This may be a bit difficult for Wan He. But think about it, this is just Wan He.
It's just what the old man said in anger. Wan He will live in the private school by then. No matter how long Mr. Wan's hands are, he won't be able to control Wan He's entry and exit.
However, Wan He did not dare to show his happiness. He pretended to be miserable, knelt on the ground, and cried to Wan Cheng: "Dad! Dad! You can't do this! How can the child tolerate this?"
ah?"
Wan Shan, who was standing by, had a look of gloating on his face. Although Wan He was his nephew, just because Wan He was the eldest son of the Wan family, the entire Wan family had to be handed over to Wan He for inheritance.
How can Wan Shan balance this? Fortunately, Wan Shan has given birth to a good son, and his grades in private school are so good. He will definitely enter the officialdom in the future. In this way, the Wan family, a merchant family, will not be so important.
. But even so, Wan Shan's resentment towards Wan He has formed a habit. No matter how he looks at Wan He, he feels displeased. Whenever there is a chance, Wan Shan will look for an opportunity to step on Wan He, and he will feel comfortable.
Seeing Wan He's sad face, Wan Shan felt happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be doing Wan He's best and persuaded: "He'er! Your father is doing this for the same reason.
For your own good! You must study hard when you go to private school this time. Your brother will take the imperial examination next year. If you can also take the imperial examination together by then, both brothers will be on the imperial list, and then our Wan family will be prosperous.
