Knowing from the maid that Mr. Lu, who knows nothing about what is good or bad, has actually accepted the child named Yun Fu from the second room as his apprentice, Fang smashed the teacup in his hand to the ground angrily.
"It's too much to bully, it's too much to bully!"
The scene of Mr. Lu refusing to accept Wei Chengqi without any shame that day was vivid in her memory, which made her focus on cultivating her son with all her strength, and she must let him see clearly in the future who is the best among the juniors in the Duke's Mansion. child.
But now the other party has accepted his apprentice again, and he is still a servant of the mansion!
"Mrs. Shizi, this is clearly trying to slap you in the face, Mrs. Madam! Not only that, but she also intends to humiliate the Fourth Young Master, which is why..." Nanny Zhang fanned the flames.
Tao Zhi glared at her displeasedly, and interrupted her unfinished sentence: "Mother's work is over, why don't you go back to work?"
Nanny Zhang was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to go against her.
"Ma'am, don't be annoyed. Just calm down and think about it. Although Mrs. Shizi has shown her sharpness recently, she is not such a ignorant person. Besides, the fourth son has always been the heart of the eldest princess, so her courage No matter how old she is, she doesn't dare to take the Fourth Young Master as an example, if this gets to His Highness's ears, she may not get half of the benefits." After Zhang Nanny went out, Tao Zhi couldn't help but persuade.
Fang sneered: "Even if she can do such things as getting her elder brother to divorce her elder sister-in-law, what else is she afraid to do? Isn't she afraid that brother Qi will be better than her son in the future, and thus threaten the second room?" This is why he tried every means to suppress our first room!"
"What she did was just to prove to her father and mother that Brother Qi is not only inferior to her son, but even the servants around her son are inferior!!" At this point, Fang restrained herself. Can't help but hate on his face.
"If Mrs. Shen didn't lead the way, would it be possible that Mr. Lu would take the initiative to come to the door to accept a servant as a disciple? A wild child who doesn't know where he came from, I don't believe he can know more than Brother Qi !"
Taozhi opened her mouth to persuade her again, but Mrs. Fang had already stretched out her hand to interrupt her: "You don't need to say too much, Mrs. Shen used to bully me and humiliate me, that's all, but she absolutely shouldn't, she shouldn't have just hit Brother Qi. head!"
Seeing this, Taozhi sighed inaudibly.
As long as the matter involves the fourth son, the madam will not listen to anyone's advice.
Yang Shi was naturally furious when she learned about it.
"Brother Lin, it's all right. Whoever let someone be the eldest grandson and grew up beside his grandfather, our brother Zhao will let us go. But now even a servant can climb on top of us , I can’t swallow this breath!!”
After finishing speaking, as soon as Yang rolled up her sleeves, she rushed out to find Shen Xinyan to argue, but fortunately, Mei Ying, who was beside her, quickly grabbed her and said repeatedly: "Madam, no, madam!"
"Don't pull me, she, Shen, is very good, but now even the cats and dogs around her can pass us, and she doesn't care about this matter even if it is said to break the sky!"
"Madam, Madam, don't be in a hurry, and wait for the movement over there." Mei Ying held her tightly and pouted her mouth in the direction of the long room.
Yang Shi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what she meant. She patted her thigh and said, "Look at me, I'm so confused, don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry this time, anyway, someone must be in a hurry than me!!"
Brother Qi is the golden bump of the long house, and now he is being compared by a servant, I believe that the anger in Fang's heart is stronger than his own. She just waited, waiting for Fang's to come out, and she herself just followed behind to wave the flag and shout, and by the way, try to make up for it at the right time.
After thinking about this, Yang's anger gradually calmed down.
At this time, Mr. Lu also informed the British public about his intention to accept Yunfu as a disciple.
The British Duke was a little surprised: "Sir, do you really want to take that child as a disciple?"
"It's natural, I never joke about such things." Mr. Lu looked serious.
The British Duke smeared his beard and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu took the initiative to accept apprentices. This kid must have something extraordinary."
"It is indeed something extraordinary." Mr. Lu said without humility.
The British Duke laughed.
"There is only one more thing..." After a moment, Mr. Lu hesitated and said again.
"It's okay, sir." It was rare to see him show such a hesitant expression, and the British Duke was very interested.
"I want to redeem this child Yunfu." Thinking that Yunfu is really a servant in the mansion, Mr. Lu's first thought was to redeem him, after all slaves are not eligible for the imperial examination.
The Duke of England understood his plan after a little thought, and there was no reason for his refusal, so he immediately ordered someone to go to the Eldest Princess to obtain Yunfu's body deed.
Since this child has caught the eyes of Mr. Lu, it can be seen that he is really outstanding, and even if he is out of school, he is still studying with his eldest grandson in the mansion. He has the affection of growing up with him since he was a child, and he will definitely be his eldest grandson in the future. right hand.
But in a short time, the servants who went to the Eldest Princess returned empty-handed.
"His Royal Highness only said that Yunfu is not a servant of the mansion, but the son of Master Huiming's old friend. The master entrusted him to the wife of the eldest son, and now he is only living in the mansion temporarily."
"It's actually the son of Master Huiming's old friend. No wonder Mr. Lu caught that child with his first glance." The British Duke was a little surprised by Yunfu's life experience.
Mr. Lu was also unexpected, but after thinking about it, he felt that it should be so. That child's eyes were clear and upright, his intelligence was not inferior to Wei Chenglin's, but his temperament was gentler than Wei Chenglin's. If Wei Chenglin is an unsharp sword, this child is more like a tough scabbard that can tolerate all sharpness.
"Since he is not a servant of the mansion, and now Mr. Lu has accepted him as an apprentice, why not let him move to the West Courtyard to live with Mr. I wonder what you would like?" the British Duke asked.
"It would be good if we can live together and take care of each other, but we still need to see what Yunfu himself thinks." Mr. Lu said with a smile.
Seeing that he cared so much about Yunfu's opinion, the British public knew that he took this child seriously, smiled, and ordered someone to come to Funingyuan to invite Yunfu.
Funing Courtyard.
"It's not embroidered like this. You have to do it as I demonstrated to you just now." Xiao Yingzhi put her hands on her hips and stared angrily at Yunfu who was clumsily threading a needle to attract money.
Yun Fu frowned in distress: "This is so difficult! Can you stop learning?"
"No, you can learn boxing from your brother, so you have to learn embroidery from me, that's only fair!" the little girl directly dismissed.
"But this is something only girls do..." Yun Fu retorted in a low voice.
The little girl was speechless by his refutation, and it took a while before she said shamelessly: "I don't care, anyway, you have to learn how to embroider with me. Come on, hurry up and embroider, if you can't embroider well, I won't give you some snacks!"
Yunfu looked at her with great grievance, the little girl felt a little guilty when he looked at her, and the next moment she puffed her chest out, imitating Shen Xinyan's usual tone of admonishing her: "Yunfu, you are not good, you are not a good child if you are disobedient! "
"Okay, okay..."
Qiu Tang, who could clearly hear the conversation between the two outside the room, was amused: "Miss Si is 'teaching' Yunfu how to embroider again?"
Chunliu covered her mouth and smiled for a long moment: "That's right, the master doesn't have half a bucket of water, let alone the apprentice, it took half an hour just to pick up the needle."
Qiutang couldn't help laughing either.
"The two older sisters are here. The Duke has sent a message to invite Yunfu to come." The servant who was ordered to invite Yunfu came forward to say hello and explained the purpose of his visit.
Not daring to delay, the two hurried into the room to call Yunfu.
Yunfu put down the poorly embroidered embroidery screen as if he had been pardoned, hurriedly said "I'll go first" and ran away in a hurry, Xiao Yingzhi pouted her mouth and stomped her feet several times in annoyance.
"Yunfu, you go there first, don't let the Duke wait, I'll catch up with you." Walking halfway, the boy who took Yunfu to see the Duke clutched his belly and confessed, Without waiting for Yunfu's answer, he ran away in a hurry.
Yun Fu scratched his ears, obediently walked forward alone, only walked for a while and then looked back to see when the other party would catch up after slipping away.
"Oops..." Walking and turning around again, I bumped into a warm body, one foot was unstable, and due to inertia, the whole person sat down on the ground.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt from the fall?" The woman's pleasant voice sounded immediately, and at the same time a pair of white hands stretched out to help him.
Yunfu raised his head subconsciously, and bumped into a pair of gentle eyes filled with concern, in which two small selves were reflected.
"No, it's okay." He avoided the opponent's hand and climbed up uncomfortably, patted the dust on his body, the woman saw that he was moving neatly, and it didn't look like he was in pain, so she was a little relieved, and was about to say goodbye After asking him a few words, another woman in Tsing Yi who followed her half a step behind her gently tugged at her sleeve.
The woman came to her senses, nodded apologetically towards Yunfu, said 'sorry' softly, and left with the woman in Tsing Yi with her head down.
"The people sent by His Majesty are right ahead, madam, let's go, Miss Yuwei, our son, will be taken care of by someone." The woman in Tsing Yi lowered her voice after leading the woman out of the Duke's Mansion to avoid people's eyes.
Mrs. Zhao nodded, and was about to leave with the person who was ordered to pick her up, then stopped and turned around and told the woman in Tsing Yi worriedly: "If it doesn't hinder, please ask someone to see if the child was injured just now."
"Ma'am, don't worry."

"Ma'am, this old slave just got some news about the child named Yun Fu next to Mrs. Shi Zi." Nanny Zhang moved to Fang's side with a mysterious face, and said in a low voice.
Fang Shi, who was thinking of a way to get rid of the anger in his heart, became energetic when he heard it: "What news? Tell me in detail."
"Madam, do you know that Yunfu was brought back to the residence by Shizi's wife from outside not long ago."
"It's up to you to say? If it wasn't brought back by Mrs. Chen, could it be that he came here by himself?" Mrs. Fang said angrily.
"Does the lady know that Yunfu lived in Lingyun Temple for a while?"
Fang's face darkened: "Is this what you want to say?"
Seeing her anxious face, Nanny Zhang didn't dare to keep her secret, and hurriedly said: "No, no, Madam, please listen carefully. This old slave has an old sister who went to Lingyun Temple to offer incense a few months ago. I caught the little thief, but because no one caught it, it was nothing in the end. The old slave, the old sister, had witnessed the little thief crawling into the wing room, and when she came out again, she was holding the little thief in her arms. A few buns."
Fang Shi was a little impatient at first, but when she heard the spirit behind her, she immediately straightened up: "Could it be that the little thief you're talking about is Yun Fu?"
