You Miao woke up the next day, and there was no one who could give instructions. In the past, there were four maids and two servants who lived in the house. There was always something to talk about in the courtyard. Now there is only one wooden chess and Li Zhifeng left. , but it is indescribably cold. When he got up early, Mu Qi came in to serve, You Miao said: "Let Li Zhifeng come over, don't go out, close the door, I ask a question, you answer."
Li Zhifeng came over to dress You Miao, and You Miao instructed Mu Qi while changing clothes.
"When did the madam and the eldest young master Naoshizi move in?" You Miao asked.
Mu Qi came in to serve You Miao at the age of twelve, and the master and servant had been with him for five years. He knew about You Miao being demoted to the second son, and he still sent him to work in the East Wing. , I knew that if I had no other thoughts in this life, after all, I would be on the same boat as Young Master Youmiao, and I had to say what I should say, so I replied, "I moved in two years ago."
You Miao asked again, "When did you become the eldest son?"
Mu Qi replied, "Last year."
You Miao asked, "Please invite Uncle Clan, Taigong and the others, have they ever eaten wine?"
Mu Qi nodded, and You Miao's anger suddenly rose again. No one told him about such a big thing? !
You Miao asked again, "What's the name of the eldest young master?"
Mu Qi replied, "The eldest young master's name is taboo on 'Han' and 'Ge'."
You Hange... As soon as You Miao heard it, he understood that the second character in the family was all water. He asked again, "My father gave birth to it? Why don't I know? No one told me about it?"
Hearing this, Mu Qi seemed a little angry. After thinking about it, he said, "Who knows? The woman took over the house as soon as she came, and Uncle Wang went home as well, and even changed to an accountant..."
You Miao nodded slowly, at least he knew two things, one: The matter of establishing another eldest son was recognized by the You family. Two: This eldest son is indeed his half-brother.
You Miao went to Beijing at the age of twelve. When he was a child at home, he heard a lot of romantic things about his father. His mother-in-law's house even blew the wind for him and told him that there were still people outside You Dechuan. But it is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a wealthy businessman like You Tokugawa? Originally, You Dechuan wanted to renew the string, and it was not Your Miao’s turn to have the final say in everything.
You Dechuan wanted to send him to the imperial court a few years ago, so maybe he did this in advance.
You Miao was absent-mindedly eating breakfast, and after the meal, the newspaper came out, and Grandma Sun came to see him.
That Grandma Sun was You Miao's nanny, and she took care of him until he was seven years old before returning home. You Miao was suffocating and had nowhere to go out. Seeing Grandma Sun rushing in, her eyes turned red.
"My hard-working little Miaozi..." As soon as Grandma Sun came in, she hugged You Miao and cried.
You Miao hurriedly said loudly, "Don't cry! Mommy, don't cry!"
You Miao's words were full of tears, and she didn't dare to look at Grandma Sun. Grandma Sun was crying so much that she was covering her liver with snot and tears. After lamenting for a long while, You Miaofang made a pot of tea for her by himself, making Grandma Sun sit down.
"It's all fate, mammy, don't hurt yourself." You Miao reluctantly comforted her and sighed again.
Mammy Sun said: "My uncle was very angry when he heard about the incident at the young master's house. He went to Yangzhou twice, but was blocked from the door there. He went back and discussed it with the uncle who is in charge of Shaoyuan Tea House. , everyone can't help you much, let me send a message, if the young master can't stay here any longer, he will go back to Suzhou."
You Miao said, "That's it, my mother is dead and my father is still here. How can I go back to my mother's uncle's house? You just came from Suzhou, did you hear anything over there?"
Mammy Sun said: "What happened back then, I didn't expect it to be suppressed for so many years, and it can't be stopped now..."
You Miao thought about it all night last night, and there were quite a few things that she couldn't figure out. Now, when she heard what Sun Momo said, she suddenly became enlightened and understood everything.
My mother's uncle's family usually reminded me of the relationship between my parents. When my mother married my father, it was not a concubine, but a cousin of You Dechuan who had the final say. Let Youjia marry Qiao Keer of Shaoyuan Tea House. That year, You Dechuan also complained about the arrangement of his elders. He even heard that his father had a good relationship outside, but after his mother married, he was too good at dealing with others. In these years, the relationship was peaceful. The father did not ask for a concubine, and the mother also This was never mentioned in front of the young You Miao.
A few years after the death of my mother, the elders of the wandering family were old and old, and they were almost dead.
So my father fixed a marriage that had been set before the marriage, and it was really hard to bear the humiliation and burden for that Wang family. He had already given birth to a son, and he was able to wait for You Dechuan for more than ten years. After the Yudechuan industry was stabilized, Fang Dengtang entered the room, and the Ming media entered the Youjia in the middle of marriage.
When You Miao heard this, it was not that he had no idea of returning to his mother's uncle's house, but he knew about the situation of Shaoyuan Tea House. A young uncle who has ambitions, but has no money, Shaoyuan Tea House has been unable to make ends meet these years, what can he do when he goes back
Mammy Sun was still drinking tea in this room, but Muqier came in hastily from outside, winked at You Miao, You Miao frowned slightly, and instructed: "If you have something to say, Mammy is not an outsider."
"Master and... the eldest young master are back." Mu Qi'er said in a trembling voice.
When Grandma Sun heard this, her mouth opened slightly, her old face wrinkled, and she began to cry again.
You Miao said: "I'm going to see my father, Li Zhifeng, you follow me, Mu Qi'er, you order a car to take my mother home."
You Miao took a deep breath and tidied up her robes. Li Zhifeng, who was sitting in the outhouse, had been listening to the conversation in the room. At this moment, he got up and followed You Miao out. Grandma Sun came out tremblingly, and repeatedly said to Li Zhifeng, "Where are you from? Why haven't we seen it before, our young master is suffering, you have to take good care of it..."
Li Zhifeng nodded, and You Miao comforted him with kind words. He walked across the corridor and stood in the east courtyard. He heard the chatter from outside the main room. It was his father who was giving instructions.
After the rain had passed, the toe of You Dechuan's boots was still stained with mud. With his hands behind his back, he brought his son, You Hange, all the way to the villa. The family carrying the sedan chair followed far behind the two of them.
You Miao looks like her mother's uncle, while You Hange looks very much like You Dechuan himself. He has the same thick eyebrows. He has been with his mother for many years and has developed a young and mature temperament, and his brows are always slightly frowned. Wide forehead and big ears, dark complexion, rough skin, and piercing eyes, revealing a calculating and thoughtful look.
You Dechuan said, "What do you think?"
You Hange said: "Dad, my boy thinks that it's not too late to get rid of this batch of goods. At the beginning of next year, when the new tea comes on the market, most of them will rise again."
You Dechuan nodded and declined to comment.
Entering the second gate of the villa and bypassing the courtyard, Mr. Wang greeted him and said with a smile, "Are you back?"
You Hange hurriedly bowed to greet his mother, Wang brought You Dechuan in, and said with a smile, "You Miao arrived last night."
You Dechuan froze and said, "It's still a success along the way."
Wang said, "I didn't hear it, I took a day off."
Mrs. Wang took off the robes for You Dechuan in person. The maids lined up to hold towels, and the basins came in. Mrs. Wang said, "I have prepared a table of side dishes for the three of you, and some hot wine, just in time to talk about it."
You Dechuan said: "If You Miao is still tired, just..."
"Father." You Miao stood outside the threshold with her sleeves on her shoulders. As soon as she said that, everyone in the main room turned their heads and looked at him.
"This is a good time." Wang Shi said with a smile: "Master said he was afraid of you..."
"You Miao." You Dechuan said, "It's just in time, I have a few words to tell you."
"Yeah." You Miao stood in the yard outside, watching the family of three enjoying themselves, but she didn't come in. You Hange said, "Brother, you are back."
According to the distinction between superiors and inferiors, You Miao should have come first to salute and meet You Hango and call him an elder brother, but You Miao has never been called a man, neither Madam Wang nor elder brother, and You Dechuan's face is a little unsightly. .
"Go to the study and talk." You Dechuan motioned for You Miao to go first.
When You Miao turned around, she caught a glimpse of Wang's successful smile behind her father, and You Hange's complicated expression.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the mother and son were also walking on thin ice.
