Du Yi was feeding his younger brother Du You. The five-year-old child didn't understand anything. He only knew how to lie in his brother's arms and look around with round eyes. When he saw this, he started to quarrel again. When they got up, they immediately handed Du You over to Du Kuan's care. He hurriedly came forward and said, "We are all here as guests. Don't make a noise. It will not look good on the host's family."
Thinking about it this way, if the Zhao family wants to frame their father to gain popularity and advance, the possibility is extremely high. Although the status of a merchant has been improved when he becomes an official, the greedy nature of the merchant's pursuit of profit is engraved in his bones. Why? It can't be changed.
"The physical Bodhisattva, just rely on him, bah."
The implication is that Zhuang Zheng should also take care of Hua Zhuo on behalf of Zhuang Jing.
This boy is simply the most hateful existence in the world, she once again decided.
Du Kuan disagreed, but he also knew that he had a bad temper. If he continued, he would inevitably cause trouble, so he might as well just sit here and entertain his younger brother.
Wei Yuan smiled softly and said calmly, "It's okay, it's just that Miss Hua was frightened when she silently recited the Buddha's name."
Zhuang Zheng was far away and couldn't hear what she was shouting, but when he saw the way she waved, he understood that she was telling him to go down, so he turned around and went downstairs.
He was thinking as he walked downstairs, and Du Kuan's voice came from behind him again.
Du Kuan was holding Du You and watching with cold eyes. When he saw Zhao Zhongliang leaving, he said: "They are dog-eat-dog. Second brother, why do you bother to mediate for them? If you help them, you won't end up in a good situation yourself."
"Busy to show your courtesy? I wonder if Master Zhao's target is my little cousin, or the eldest lady of the Hua family?"
"Young Master Wei San is a well-known libertine, but the Wei family says that he has the style of a young Wei Tuo. Several eminent monks in our Huainan Mansion are very fond of him and hope that the Wei family will produce another physical Bodhisattva. Don't be angry with him. If something goes wrong, there will be many people who will intercede for him, but who will be willing to intercede for you?"
Hua Zhuo calmed down and saw Zhuang Jing's pink and jade-like face close in front of him. He couldn't help but put his finger on her forehead and said, "Naughty, I almost scared you to death."
I don't know how long she had been reciting silently, but suddenly someone pushed hard on her body. Hua Zhuo suddenly woke up, and heard a clear voice in her ear, smiling and saying: "Sister Zhuo'er, you are the host, don't leave the guests alone." Wait, if you follow my elder cousin's example and close your eyes and recite Buddhism, do you also want to become a sister-in-law?"
Du Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's just a small matter. In everything, take a step back and the sky will be brighter, let the wind be light and the clouds be calm. I would like to share this with you."
Zhao Zhongliang endured his anger, took a step back, and said: "Brother Du, it's not me who is causing trouble. It's really some people who speak so unpleasantly that I feel ashamed to be associated with them."
How could Hua Zhuo let go of the opportunity to break into the house and deal with Song Pingting? Her idea turned to Zhao Yuer again, but when she turned around, she saw Zhao Yuer sitting next to Zhuang Jing, gesticulating, and she didn't know what she was talking about. What, it made Zhuang Jing laugh heartily from time to time, and she couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu'er again.
"In my entire life, this young master has never seen what a toad looks like. Now I have gained some experience."
Only then did Zhuang Zheng realize. He straightened his clothes, saluted Wei Yuan, and said, "My little sister is rude, please don't take offense to my cousin."
"Some people have ghosts in their hearts. Since my name is Haoran, my young master is naturally majestic and awe-inspiring. If you have no ghosts in your heart, why are you afraid of what I will say." Young Master Wei San sneered and retorted again.
Du Yi poured himself a cup of tea, moistened his throat, and then said: "I am the eldest here, and I have the entrustment of the Hua family sister, no matter what. Third brother, your temper is too hot, why don't you think about it, the Hua family sister I accept my father as my husband, and from now on I will be your junior sister. Wan'er will accept Mrs. Hua as my adoptive mother. From now on, except for our different surnames, our two families will be as close as one family. If we let the two of them get into trouble in the Hua family, , not only is the Hua family embarrassed, our family’s face is also disgraced.”
Naturally, Hua Zhuo wouldn't blame Zhuang Jing, but she was very happy to see Zhuang Zheng come to apologize. This boy was really annoying, and seeing him come to apologize would make her angry a little.
Among the girls present, no one has a lower status than Zhao Yu'er. What's more, before the Zhao family became an official, they were from merchants and were most rejected by the elite and officials. However, she was able to sit next to Zhuang Jing, even as her cousin. All the Wei sisters have been pushed aside by her, which shows that the Zhao family has put a lot of effort into completely getting rid of their status as merchants.
"I'm not afraid. I have my parents and my eldest and second brothers to protect me." Zhuang Jing looked up happily and glanced at the tall building. It happened that Zhuang Zheng was also looking here. She immediately waved and shouted happily: "Second brother, second brother, come down and protect me."
"Ms. Hua is restless, restless, thoughtful, and scheming. It's better not to imitate my elder cousin by chanting Buddha and meditating, so as not to make others laugh."
"Brother Du, look at him, look at him...it makes me angry!"
Zhao Zhongliang cursed a few times in his heart before feeling relieved. Then he gratefully cupped his fists and saluted Du Yi and said, "Thank you, Brother Du, for your kindness."
Zhuang Jing held his arm and said with a smile: "My eldest cousin said that the Bodhisattva is going to punish me for disturbing her chanting. Second brother, you have to protect me."
"You..." Zhao Zhongliang pointed at him angrily and wanted to scold him, but he kept in mind his parents' daily instructions not to say bad words in front of these young masters, so as not to be attacked again because he was a merchant and did not understand etiquette. However, Wei Haoran would not be scolded if he didn't scold him. After all, he really had a ghost in his heart.
Zhao Zhongliang bowed again and then went downstairs alone.
Thinking of this, an evil spirit appeared in Hua Zhuo's eyes, and her mind gradually turned to coldness. At this moment, she suddenly heard the Buddha's name "Namo Guanshi Bodhisattva" in her ears. It was like an enlightenment, or like a handful of ice and snow being stuffed into her neck. She was shocked. Suddenly she woke up and remembered that her father had once taught her that a gentleman cannot be established easily. She couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed. Just now, she had thought of finding an excuse to ruin Zhao Yuer's reputation here. She was almost going astray again. If I hadn't suddenly heard the Buddha's name... Well, where did the sound of the Buddha's name come from
Du Yi slipped and almost rolled downstairs.
Zhao Zhongliang had already thought about going down, but because everyone was chatting on the balcony, he couldn't leave alone. When he saw Zhuang Zheng going down, he waved his fan and said: "Second Young Master Zhuang is going down, let's go too." Take a look?"
At this time, Zhuang Zheng had already walked to Zhuang Jing and was asking: "Why did you ask me to come down?"
As soon as Zhuang Zheng left, Young Master Wei San lost all scruples, opened his mouth, and sarcastic and strange words came out.
With that said, he staggered down the stairs and ignored Zhao Zhongliang, who was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Just when she was waiting for Zhuang Zheng to bow his head to her, she heard Zhuang Zheng's plain and hateful voice.
Wei Yuan slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was her. She smiled helplessly and said, "Cousin, you are disrespectful to the Bodhisattva."
Hua Zhuo turned around and saw that Miss Wei was still sitting by the flower pavilion with her eyes closed and silently reciting the Buddha's name. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over quietly and sat down next to Miss Wei. They closed their eyes and recited "Namo Guanyin Bodhisattva" together. ", I still felt a little irritable at first, but as I kept reciting it, my mind gradually became clear and there were no more distracting thoughts.
Hua Zhuo's face suddenly turned green. What does it mean to be restless and restless? Does this mean she is irritable? She also thinks too much and is scheming. These two sentences are even more hateful. They directly say that she is scheming and is not a good person. The most hateful thing is that he actually said that her reciting the Buddha's name was ridiculous, which was too much.
In the last life, the Qiao family was willing to offer her a high salary to marry her. It was precisely because a merchant had joined the officialdom but could not integrate into the official circle, so they wanted to use her status as a noble girl to improve their family. It can be said that they have exhausted all their efforts. , let them succeed, and then sent her away with a divorce note. She could really go hand in hand with her greedy and unfeeling uncle's family. Such a shameless family actually taught her to meet two families one after another. It can be seen that she was the same in the previous life. The bad luck is shining brightly, but he has never even met a good family.
"Yes, yes, no matter what, what you said makes sense, second brother. So what are you still sitting here for? Hurry up and take a look. Don't let the two of them get into trouble again. There are girls' houses down there. , scare them, mother won’t twist your ears when you get home.”
Zhuang Jing giggled, stretched out her hand to push Wei Yuan, and said: "Eldest cousin, stop reciting your sutra. This is a guest at sister Zhuo'er's house, not your own home. It's very rude of you to do this."
Du Yi was a truly gentle, courteous and frugal person, quite like a gentleman. He did not discriminate against Zhao Zhongliang's background, but instead tried hard to persuade him.
Young Master Wei San slowly shook the beauty fan in his hand a few times, looking carefree. He didn't look majestic at all. Instead, he looked like a dandy. He said in a sinister tone: "This young master is wandering around." There are some people who are dissolute in their hearts, and they will go wherever they go, and I would be ashamed to be associated with them."
Zhao Zhongliang was blushing when he revealed his thoughts with his words. When he was ridiculed again, he became even more angry. He pulled back the landscape fan in his hand, slapped it into his palm, and said angrily: "Wei Haoran, how did I, Zhao Zhongliang, offend me?" You have been against me again and again."
Zhao Zhongliang pulled Du Yi to complain, but Du Yi was helpless. The Wei family was also a well-known family. Although it could not compete with the Du family in Huainan Mansion, because of Shen Zhu's beautiful talk, it was very popular among Fangwai. It has weight, and in those days, since the time of Emperor Taizu, they had worshiped Buddha and treated outsiders with special courtesy. Therefore, the weight of what the Wei family said was not necessarily lighter than that of the Du family.
Is it Wei Yuan
"Second brother, if you can't handle it, just come and call me and give them a good punch, and they will naturally become quiet."
When Du Yi heard this, he also felt that it made sense. Young Master Wei San was a more lawless guy than his third brother. The third brother was still willing to listen to him and obey his control, but Young Master Wei San... Well, I'm afraid only Zhuang Er The young master can control him. It seems that it is necessary to talk to the second young master Zhuang.
