Seeing the young master's back quickly disappearing outside the gate, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but smile contemptuously, turned around and was about to ask Honglian Xiangyun to pick some wicker baskets to go to the kitchen to get seafood tomorrow, when she saw the two girls with pale faces Trembling all over, seeing her turn around, Xiangyun tremblingly said: "Grandma, Grandpa just said... just said that Meiyue Tower is haunted..."
"I'm an old stalker, are you afraid of becoming like this?" Su Nuannuan rolled her eyes: "It's just your ignorant master who still uses it to scare me."
"What is an old stalk?"
Xiangyun and Honglian looked at each other, but Su Nuannuan said helplessly: "It's an old trick, it's useless, it's useless. Your father hoped that I would move back to the backyard, but I refused, so he used ghosts to scare me. This kind of routine has been written in "The Wife is Superior", so I'm afraid of it."
"What is "The Wife is the Best"?" Honglian and Xiangyun looked at each other, why did the words in grandma's mouth sound so unreliable
"It's a novel." After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, she remembered that it was the Lihuabai novel she had read in her previous life, which obviously did not exist in this era. But it's nothing, Honglian and Xiangyun didn't serve him since they were young, do they still know what books they read
As soon as I thought of this, I tried to change the subject, and said persuasively: "Actually, it's not just what the book says. We have lived here for half a year, have we seen ghosts? Not at all? If there are ghosts, why not?" Come out sooner?"
"Then what if you come out after Master said it?" After all, it was a girl, Xiangyun and Honglian were still very worried.
"It must be your grandfather who asked someone to pretend. Maybe it's not impossible for him to fight in person. His lightness kung fu is so good, isn't it a piece of cake to pretend to be a ghost?" Su Nuannuan nodded affirmatively.
"Why is grandma so sure?" Xiangyun and Honglian obviously wanted to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.
"It's also written in "The Wife is Superior"."
Su Nuannuan answered casually. Honglian and Xiangyun raised their foreheads at the same time. Forget it, it seems impossible to expect a reliable answer from grandma. But there is no ghost: "Grandma, Grandpa also said that there are snakes in the backyard, snakes! That thing is very scary."
"The backyard is full of vegetable gardens. Where are the trees and grass growing? Your father put the snakes there." Su Nuannuan was impatient: They are really two worthless girls. Is the word an imperial decree
"Is this also what it said in "Chess Master"?" The two girls don't understand the art of naming modern Zhaidou novels, although the pronunciation is different. But still replaced "wife" with "chess".
"That's right." Su Nuannuan nodded calmly.
Red Lotus Fragrant Cloud: ...
"Huh? The second brother got up early today. What's the matter? Is there something important to do?"
It was already dawn at the fifth watch in summer, and Duan Tingxuan was going to court today, so he couldn't go to Meiyuelou for breakfast. That woman Su Nuannuan won't get up when she's not ready. Because Siping was asked to lead the horse, as soon as the two masters and servants came to the front yard, they saw Duan Tingye tidied up and ordering something with the door. It seemed that he was planning to go out, so he hurriedly shouted.
Duan Tingye heard the voice. I just hate myself why I have to say these few words with the door, how good it is to go out two steps earlier? He really hated this elder brother from the bottom of his heart, since he was a child, he was always so outstanding and dazzling. It makes me useless against the background, and it is obvious that my mother is the person my father likes the most, and I am even more loved by my father. But just because this big brother is so outstanding, even his father can't give him the position of the son eccentrically. Why? Because the emperor and empress are staring at them.
So Duan Tingye hates, is angry, and is jealous. The more he can't get the position of the son of the world, the more he wants it. It's okay to have the emperor and empress staring at him, as long as this big brother can make a big mistake, and let his mother say a few words in front of his father, is he afraid that his father won't think of a way to make himself a prince? But the hateful thing is that Duan Tingxuan is shrewd and cunning like an old fox with white tail, not to mention big mistakes, even small mistakes can't be found. You said that you are a leader in the court, and sooner or later you will be an official, even if you earn a title, it will not be difficult for you. Why do you just occupy the position of the young master and not relax? Can you leave this title to me
Of course, this kind of mentality is extreme and wrong, but Second Master Duan would not think so. So he regards his half-brother as a thorn in the flesh, but the sad thing is, this is of no use. Duan Tingxuan is still the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, and he is his elder brother. No matter how much he hates and curses in his heart, on the surface But he didn't dare to disobey the other party. And this section of Tingxuan doesn't look like an elder brother like a father at all. I don't know if he has noticed Duan Tingye's bad intentions. This guy is very handy when he bullies his younger brother. What a dark guy he is? Poor Duan Tingye has a stomach full of bad water, but he is not his opponent at all, so he only dares to do small tricks secretly. Usually when he sees this big brother, he can't wait to take a detour.
But at this moment, Duan Tingxuan blocked the door. Duan Tingye turned around helplessly, saluted first, and then asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, big brother?"
"It's nothing. I haven't seen you for several days. Where did you go?"
Duan Tingxuan walked forward with a smile, grabbed his younger brother's shoulders, half-dragged and half-dragged him out, staring at the door, secretly thinking that other people's families are brothers fighting for power, or the two of us in the house. The master is the best, this brotherhood is really touching. No idea that Duan Tingye was so frightened that he was about to cry: Damn that bastard brother, what the hell did he come up with? My money is also very tight recently.
"Where can I go? I went to Bazhou. The horses there are good. My father asked me to pick a few back." Duan Tingye squeezed a smile, but Duan Tingxuan said with a chuckle: "Oh, that's it, Cheng , then when the horses arrive, give me two."
"Brother, don't be joking. It's nothing else. It's just a few horses. You want to buy two? The Dawan horses in the stables in the backyard were all given to you by the emperor and the crown prince. You still think of Bazhou horse?"
Duan Erye couldn't bear it anymore: This guy is too bullying, and Yan Guo is not so cruel as to pluck his hair.
Sure enough, even Duan Tingxuan probably felt that he was going too far. He didn't have any psychological burden to bully this younger brother, so he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but after all, it's the young master, and his scheming is beyond ordinary people's comparability. After being taken aback for a while, he said with a shy face, "The more the better. Besides, I just want to see the difference between Dawan's thoroughbred horses and our good horses. Anyway, you can give me two when the time comes." .”
Well, it's not bad to get away with two horses. Duan Tingye endured his anger and agreed, and was about to rub the soles of his feet and run away when he felt his shoulders tighten again, and then Duan Tingxuan laughed and said, "What's the rush? I haven't finished my sentence yet, don't rush away, you are in a hurry at noon Do you have time? Deyilou, I treat you."
"Then I'll pay the bill, right?" Duan Tingye squinted at Brother Fox.
"You are the richest man in the mansion. If you didn't pay the bill, why should I pay the bill?" Duan Tingxuan's face was taken for granted, almost making Duan Tingye bleed: Damn, do you think I don't know? You can't spend all the money in your hand, and the whole Hou Mansion will be yours in the future, and now you are still crying poor here? God is really short-sighted, why doesn't it let you be really poor
But even if he felt internal injuries, he dared not say these words. Where did Duan Tingxuan get his money from? He is the empress' confidant, and he is on good terms with the fourth prince who is in charge of the House of Internal Affairs. He is also the best friend of the prince. Dividends are a huge profit, but no one knows how much this money is, and it cannot be brought out in the open. It is all tacitly understood by everyone, and the old master never asks. If I say it now, the fox will definitely deny it, and I have absolutely no evidence to prove it, even if I have, I dare not prove it. Although he is also the queen's nephew and the younger brother of the princes, he is just a grandma who doesn't care. If my uncle doesn't love me, I dare to tear this matter apart, because I'm afraid I won't be able to completely offend the big gang of wolves
When Duan Tingye thought of this, tears were about to fall, and he was very sad for his bad popularity. Originally, he was long-sleeved, good at dancing, and exquisite in all aspects, but with Duan Tingxuan in front of him, no one in the royal family would ever see him. So how could he not hate this big brother? So it's right for him to harm the other party. People don't do it for themselves.
"What's the matter with you? Just talk about it here." Duan Tingye understood Duan Tingxuan's meaning, and this bastard brother didn't know what he liked about him. He was about to cut his flesh, so he might as well hurry up and save a lunch.
"I don't have any money with me. If your money is tight, give me a thousand taels of silver to spend first." Duan Tingxuan really opened his mouth like a lion, and the number he said made Duan Tingye's eyes dim.
"One thousand taels? How can I have so much money?" Duan Tingye almost passed out, this bastard is really getting more and more ruthless, every attack is getting darker. Hearing this, give him one thousand taels of silver if you are tight on hand. If you don't have tight cash, can he ask for ten thousand
Duan Tingxuan looked at his second younger brother with a half-smile, and suddenly said earnestly: "Tingye, between us brothers, is it necessary to be so frightened by the thousand and eight hundred taels of silver? You helped the Hangzhou South Gang last time , do you dare to say that you didn’t borrow my name? I didn’t ask you for half of the money I received as a thank you afterwards, but now I’m just asking you for a thousand taels, so you’re just pushing back and forth?”
Upon hearing the words Hangzhou Nanbang, Duan Tingye's face turned pale. He had business dealings with the Southern Gang of Hangzhou, but those people offended the dandy of Duke Qing's family in the capital that day. For his own benefit, Duan Tingye couldn't ignore this matter, but the fourth young master of Duke Qing's mansion didn't take it lightly. If he could offend him, there was no other way, he could only use the name of his eldest brother as a hint.
