"Who are you? What are you all doing here?"
It was getting dusk, it was the time when the yamen went to the office in the evening, the young master came straight to Su's house with a big bag in his hand, and when he reached the gate of De Street, he saw five or six women squatting there like monkeys , because he couldn't help but have doubts, he stepped forward to ask.
Seeing him, those people jumped into the water like a few live fish, jumping up and chattering: "This is the son of the Marquis of Anping, right? We are here to find an errand..."
It was like a group of flies buzzing, but Duan Tingxuan was indeed not an idle person, he could hear the outline of the matter in the noisy voice: it turned out that these people came to sell themselves as slaves. He knew Ping Guogong's thoughts, so he refused decisively for the other party, but unexpectedly, those people couldn't go away, seeing that there was no way to get through him, so they went back and squatted down again. One of them muttered: "I Don't go, what we want is to come at this time, don't take advantage of this time to burn the cold stove, when the old man resumes his position as the Duke of the country, we are going to be a handyman, and it is impossible for others to want it."
It turned out that this was the idea, and the ordinary people in the market really had their wisdom.
Duan Tingxuan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly saw Ping Guogong and his uncle coming from the opposite side, he went up to him and said: "Father-in-law, these people are very entangled, anyway, there are not many people working in the house now, why don't we accept them all?" Well, look at their performance in the future, the diligent ones stay, and the lazy ones drive them away."
Duke Ping stared and said: "No, now I'm going to do things for others, but my own mansion is recruiting servants? Is this how common people live? You don't need to pay attention to them. It's been a long time. If you don't believe them, they won't leave."
After speaking, looking at the big and small bags in Duan Tingxuan's hand, he frowned and said: "What are you spending so much money on? Your house sent a lot of food today, and our whole family can't eat it. What did you get? "
Duan Tingxuan hurriedly laughed and said, "I know my father-in-law likes Dongxiangji's lo mei, so I went to buy some after I left the office, and I plan to get drunk with you."
Duke Ping's eyes widened again, and he said impatiently, "Why don't you rest when you're drunk? If I'm drunk, will you watch the door for me after dinner?"
"What? Watch the door watch?"
Duan Tingxuan was shocked, and then his face sank, and he gritted his teeth: "Which bastard is so ignorant? What is your identity as an old man? Dare to use you to watch the door. They are not afraid of losing their lives?"
"No one dares to use me when we co-author. Let me become an old waste, and you will be happy, right?"
Duke Pingguo snorted coldly, he was at odds with this son-in-law because of his daughter. He didn't give Duan Tingxuan a lot of good looks. Although he heard his daughter's account now, he knew that his son-in-law did not make a big mistake, but he was a parent. Hearing what happened to my daughter, I still feel a little depressed in my heart.
Duan Tingxuan panicked and said: "My son-in-law doesn't dare. My son-in-law is just worthless for his father-in-law. Your old man was the Duke of Pingguo back then..."
Before finishing speaking, the old man laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "Why are you still talking about that? It's all in the past. In fact, it's good to be a commoner now. Don't look down on the janitor, although the money is better than the country's The public salary is not far behind, but it is free and worry-free. Not to mention the need to get up and wash up before four o'clock as in the past, so as to catch up with the morning court. This day is also very comfortable."
While talking. The old man and his son entered the house, and seeing Duan Tingxuan also came in, he wondered: "You still want to drink with me? You said it was impossible, why don't you go home soon? You are no match for me now, and the burden on your shoulders is also heavy." Heavy, after a busy day, if you don’t go back and take a good rest, why don’t you still feel free to run here?”
Duan Tingxuan hurriedly laughed and said: "It's okay to go home. It doesn't matter if the father-in-law doesn't drink, and the son-in-law has the right to come and have a meal. Besides, I still want to see Nuan Nuan. She is pregnant now... that... I am not Don't worry about father-in-law and mother-in-law... I just don't see Nuan Nuan, and I really can't let it go."
When the voice fell, the uncle laughed and said: "Father, what Ting Xuan said is right, Nuan Nuan is self-willed, how can a married woman go back to her mother's house for so many days? It's not far away, it's also It's just that Tingxuan spoils her, why not try someone else's house?"
Duan Tingxuan glanced at his uncle gratefully, thinking that the contempt for that dude in the past should be put aside. Now that he has gone to Niutoushan, his uncle has learned a lot about the ways of the world, so what do you think of that face now? They all feel amiable, and they are no longer hideous as before.
Duke Pingguo snorted, but didn't say anything else, so the young master finally entered the back hall smoothly. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Su Nuannuan was peeling boiled peanuts with Mrs. Liu. Seeing him coming, Mrs. Liu was also surprised, she quickly stood up and said, "Why is my son-in-law here? Are you not going home?"
Duan Tingxuan said with a cheeky smile: "Yes, there is nothing important about it, so I will stay at Yue's house tonight." After finishing speaking, he put his things on the table and smiled: "Dongxiangji's lo-mei, my father-in-law likes it, please take it to my sister-in-law. The kitchen is hot, this wine is very good."
After speaking, he looked at Su Nuannuan again, feeling that he hadn't seen each other for a day, and his heart was full of lovesickness. However, in front of so many people, he didn't dare to be presumptuous after all, and could only gather all the affection in his eyes. For a while, the husband and wife The two looked at each other affectionately, their eyes were almost glued together, and everyone couldn't help lowering their heads and covering their lips to snicker.
It wasn't until the old antique Ping Guogong who couldn't stand it anymore coughed that he finally woke up the two of them. For a while, Su Nuannuan's face was as red as a cloud of fire, and even a thick-faced and dark-hearted guy like Xiaohou was embarrassed. The Circus could not speak.
A dinner with no one around to serve him was enjoyable. Duke Ping probably had suffered too much and forgot the family rules of not talking when eating or sleeping. The second son happily chatted and laughed about some gossip in the market, and with these gossips, the young master ate an extra bowl of rice.
After dinner, the family sat together and drank tea, and Duke Pingguo went out. He is a doorman who is different from others. He will go there in the middle of the afternoon and let you come back to have a meal in the evening. After the meal, you still have to go there before dark, watch the door all night, and go home to rest the next morning. Although he worked an hour longer than other janitors, his wages were higher than those of them, so the Duke was quite satisfied. Of course, these are only on the surface, as for how sad he is in his heart, only the old man knows.
Seeing that it was getting dark, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Duan Tingxuan helped Su Nuannuan back into the house, looked at the small room, and sighed: "It's strange that you sent Honglian Xiangyun back to the mansion, and this room is also a mess." It's really too small, if they are here, where can they sleep?"
