Second Young Master is coming back!
The second young master, Cui Heng, has been the real son and grandson of the family for many years. Even if Mrs. Xu is divorced, his name will still be remembered in the ancestral hall. The love of his father and grandparents for many years is still there, and the eldest brother will treat him equally. His young master is still a real gold and silver young master.
But when they heard the news that he was coming back, apart from those who served him in the past, very few people in the family were really happy.
After finally getting used to the days when the eldest son is the master of the house, the conditions of the family are gradually getting better, and a second young master who has a strong temperament and a unique temperament has been added. Will there be trouble again in this family
Cui Jinzhi and Cui Ting, the two shopkeepers, didn't know the news yet, so Cui Liangdong took care of them and his own worries about the accounts of the outer courtyard - the second young master will go to the counter to get the money in the future, will they give it or not?
Full of worries, he took out the money to help Cui Xie reward the steward sent by the Xie family.
Cui Xie told the steward to wait, and went back to his room to take a blank hanging scroll to scroll the self-portrait, put a bamboo painting tube on it, and gave it to him along with the reward. I have nothing to be thankful for, and I will return this painting to him as a thank-you gift, and you can take it back for you, my lords."
The steward neatly sleeved the money and said with a smile, "Young master has these rituals every time he communicates with us adults, and when we look at it as servants, we feel that we are very interested. The Pingpo Temple is indeed a treasure temple, and it is very spiritual to make wishes. "Young master, since you have gone there to worship the Buddha, if you have any concerns, just let it go, and it will definitely be settled smoothly."
He carried the painting tube back and handed it to Xie Ying, and said a good word for him: "Cui Gongzi is so relieved, there is such a younger brother who is coming back, and his face remains the same, remember to take him to the temple for the master that day. I want to come back with a small gift."
Xie Ying took the bamboo tube and weighed it in his hand, and said with a smile: "He is a younger brother, not an old man. It is only natural for the eldest brother to discipline his younger brother, so if he is beaten to death, he will only miss his hand, and look at his cruel heart. It's just unrelenting."
However, with the emperor staring at him, he couldn't really kill him. Cui Xie should be able to deal with him in a more clever way, so he wouldn't be called out to make trouble, right
He asked the steward to go down, and he planned to go back to the room to look at the paintings, but the old steward who was accompanying him suddenly said: "It's also a coincidence that Cui Jiansheng's second brother came back, Zhemo is the Buddha of Pingpo Temple who loves his Guanyin paintings well, and it shows his spirit. Right? You see that he just worshipped Buddha, and he brought his brother back from Nanman safely. The family is reunited, what is more important in the world?"
Xie Ying let out a soft "Oh".
The old steward couldn't understand what he meant, and still said softly behind him: "Master also worshipped the Buddha with him, his younger brother came back, only the father has not yet been promoted to go home, and he is afraid that his mind has already been fulfilled for ten years. Eight or nine. The good things that want to come to our house are coming soon, and we have to prepare money earlier to repay."
Prepare money... but you should also prepare it.
If Husband Gao could ask someone to deliver a letter to Cui Xie and let him take good care of his younger brother, it must be the emperor staring at him. His younger brother is back, and if he asks him to take care of it again, won't he be in the eyes of the emperor again, and the future will be smooth sailing
What he asked in front of the Buddha was for Cui Xie to be safe and smooth, so it seemed that it was really effective, so it would be better to donate some money to rebuild the hall earlier.
Xie Ying held the bamboo tube of Tibetan painting, and suspected that Cui Xie had painted the kind of Buddha portrait with the charm of a real Buddha, and his devotion attracted the blessing of the Buddha. He hurried back to the room to open the painting, but saw a tall and handsome young man standing on the painting, wearing a white round-neck slim-fitting shirt, a soft towel on his head, a sword on his waist, his right hand on the hilt of the sword, his face facing the picture Looking at it from the outside, the divine aura is like a stranger, and it looks stable and stylish.
This appearance looks familiar, but why does it look so much taller and stronger than me
Is this because they hate that the two are not intimate enough and are eager to grow up
Will he really look like this when he grows up? From the current appearance of being prudent on the outside, bold and enthusiastic on the inside, to such a handsome young man
Xie Ying couldn't help but reached out and touched the face in the painting, rubbed his fingertips on his pink lips, slowly held the painting in front of him, bowed his head and gave a kiss, sighing: "Wait when you grow up to be this big. How many years will it take? By then, you should also marry a wife and have children, enjoy the real happiness of family, and make friends of the same age and I don’t know if you still remember this heart today.”
===========================
Although Cui Heng's return to Beijing disturbed the Cui House, but the Chinese Academy would never allow Cui Xie to leave for this trivial matter, and he had to go to school on time.
Picking up people home can only be arranged for Cui Liangdong.
He asked someone to pay Cui Liangdong 200 taels on the account, and he urged: "Fujian has a high mountain and a long road, and I don't know how difficult it is. They have traveled thousands of miles to help us escort Brother Heng back. Don't be stingy when you should give money. Be prepared when you pick up people. Good money, I sincerely thank others. After I bring him back, I will pay attention to him, and wait for me to come back and then make calculations."
"Furthermore, he suddenly lost his mother, and he was in a hurry to travel back and forth. I must be in a bad mood these days. I will invite a doctor at home to prepare it. Let's give him a few doses of nourishing and shock-reducing medicine first, and tell him to live in peace. Take a few days off to take care of your health."
Cui Liangdong, the housekeeper, was newly brought up. He hadn't gone through many things, let alone the young master. He didn't know how to treat Cui Heng well for a while. Now listening to his finger painting, as if he wants to discipline him strictly, he has the backbone, and nodded again and again: "What the son said is that Xiao Tomorrow will definitely do it properly."
The next morning, Cui Xie went to school early, and he ordered a taxi to wait at the city gate earlier.
It's just that this young man came back disgraceful, and he was afraid that he would not look good, so he only brought clothes, shoes and socks, head scarf, and asked a servant Xiao Haijing, who was used to serving him, and is still watching the courtyard in his cross-yard, to go with him. Get more people to follow.
Shortly after the city gate opened, they saw a big car driving into the city. When they entered the gate, they did not pay the toll. Instead, a big man wearing a three-mountain hat stretched out his hand and shook the sign. He didn't see what brand it was, but went up to meet him with the mentality of Ning Cuo but not letting go, and cupped his hands and asked, "But the adults from the concubine Xu's concubine who escorted the female prisoner of the official official in Taichang Temple? The youngest is Yunnan cloth. The steward of the Chief Secretary Cui's house..."
Before he finished speaking, the big man stuck his head out of the car window and said with a smile, "You belong to the Cui family? Just so, our brothers are waiting to pay the order to the department, and we have brought this person from your family to you. When I go back and release the Ning family, I will call Cui... Cui Xiu Cai should be able to discipline him."
Cui Liangdong hurriedly handed over a piece of silver from his sleeve, and said in a trembling voice, "The little one was entrusted by my superintendent son to take care of the two adults. I hope the adults will not give up and go to the humble house first to drink a glass of water and wine."
The captain squeezed the silver and said with a smile: "Your son is very polite. But you can't drink wine, and you can't go to your house. This Cui Heng was written in the imperial edict that we should send it to Ping Haiwei, and then bring it back alive. From Beijing, we have to take him to the Zhenfu Si Yamen to pay the decree. Follow us to the Yamen and wait, and send him out for you to take away when you are done.”
People from the Cui family had been frightened by Jinyiwei several times earlier, and they were all too brave. They dared to come and pick them up only because the eldest son was on good terms with Jinyiwei. The driver, whose legs were as weak as his, followed the car very slowly, crossed the yamen on the west side of the Qianbu Corridor in front of the Forbidden City, and parked on the street opposite the yamen.
After the two Jin Yiwei got out of the car, the second son of their family got out of the car. He was only wearing a half-worn jacket, his head and face were clean, and he was still alive, but his cheeks and eye sockets were deeply sunken, and his eyes were faint, with an air of hatred and evil.
Cui Liangdong vigorously went to offer gifts to Cui Heng, called "Second Brother", and only said: "Little Cui Liangdong is now the chief steward of the family. In the future, if the second brother has anything to do, just tell me."
These days, Xiao Haijing is only looking at the empty yard at home because of the absence of his young master, and the monthly payment is also small. Not only did he lose the prestige he had when he followed him, but many took advantage of the situation to take revenge, trampled on them, suffered a lot of grievances, and cried when they saw Cui Heng.
Cui Heng snorted coldly and stared at them with squinting eyes, but there were two Jin Yiwei next to him, who seemed to be afraid and did not dare to make a sound.
Cui Liangdong watched them pull Cui Heng into the yamen, and he and the driver huddled behind him and didn't dare to come out. For fear that the second son would do something to death, the two of them pulled in together and tortured him.
Fortunately, their fantasies did not come true, Cui Heng asked people to let them out soon, and Dong Xiaowei, who escorted him out of Beijing, followed him and taught them a few words: "I will call you my husband, your talented son in the future. Keep an eye on him. He and his mother have a grudge against the family, making us uneasy all the way, causing trouble along the way, and missing the journey a few times. He is not a sidekick, and we are not good at getting involved. No matter, it's just that this person is really annoying, and tell your son to look back more strictly, so as not to cause trouble for him."
Cui Liangdong only responded, helped Cui Heng into the car and went home, and asked Xiao Haijing to serve him to change into new jackets, boots and hats.
Cui Heng didn't dare to say anything at the entrance of the yamen. After leaving the street, he wiped his face and said coldly, "Give me the money! How much money do you have on you?"
Cui Liangdong said, "What does the second brother want, buy it when the little one gets home?"
Xiao Haijing still had a bunch of copper coins on his body, so he quickly took it out and gave it to him, and complained along the way: "Young master is not at home, and the family asks the eldest son to hold it, and the little one has no money, so I have no choice but to do this, son, don't dislike it."
Cui Heng didn't think it was too small, he tucked it into his sleeve and gave Cui Liangdong a mocking look: "You used to be a steward in the outer court, right now, but now you've got your eldest brother's leg, and you've become a major steward, and you're shaking your prestige? Xiu is playing tricks in front of me, I'm still the second young master of Cui's house, and my uncle is still an official, not someone who doesn't have grandma's family! You don't have to send me to Cui's house, I'm going to Xu's house!"
Cui Liangdong didn't dare to let him go, so he quickly persuaded him: "The eldest son said, you have suffered hardships this time, and you have to go home to rest first and take care of yourself..."
"He's shaking..." Cui Heng gritted his teeth, knocked on the carriage with a low snort and said, "I'm your son, listen to my instructions and go to Xu's house instead!"
Cui Liangdong begged him again and again: "My second brother, don't make a fuss, this is on the street, it's not good looking!"
The driver of the car was obedient, knowing that what the second young master said at home was not worth it, so he went straight to Cui Mansion. Cui Heng saw that the scenery outside the window was wrong. He knew that they would not send him back, and he was afraid that he would fall into Cui Xie's hands when he got home. He took revenge for the abuse of his biological mother in the past. Stop! Do you guys dare to kidnap my Senator and sell it!"
Cui Liangdong was so frightened that he stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, telling Xiao Haijing to push him away, and then took advantage of the situation to bite his hand hard, and he let out an "Ow".
The car was banging and banging, and it was screaming so badly that passers-by followed the car and asked what was going on. The driver didn't know what to do. He wanted to pass the car in front of him and hurried back. He caught up with Chongyang and went out to play for the past two days.
Cui Heng in the car, after training all the way, also learned to be fierce and came back. He pushed Cui Liangdong against the wall of the car, rolled over and got off the car and ran out. Cui Liangdong wanted to get out of the car and chase him, but instead told Xiao Haijing to hug him tightly, his old arms and legs couldn't move, so he had to ask the driver to go down and chase him.
Cui Heng practiced walking a lot along the way. He was dexterous, bypassed the car in front of him, turned around and ran a few dozen steps. When he saw people watching, he shouted: "I am the young master of the Xu family, the headmaster of Taichang Temple, and the two behind them are thieves who stole my money and my car, and also killed our master and servant. I hope everyone will block them. Which kind person will send me home, and my family will definitely thank you!"
The coachman shouted at the back: "Second brother, come back soon, the big goth asked us to take you back to recuperate, but I dare not tell you to run around! You are going to Fujian, and you must rest well when you get home. Don't sit down and get sick. Come!"
It's hard for everyone to tell the truth from the fake, but if there is excitement, there are those who watch the excitement, which blocks the road. Cui Heng heard that the two people were chasing after calling "Second Brother" and "Young Master". He didn't care about making up lies, he pushed people away and ran out. Thirty bucks hired him to take him out of town.
He ran away, the driver and the Cui family's car were blocked in the road, Cui Liangdong beat Xiao Haijing a few times, and regretted for a while - the errand that Cui Xie gave them was just fine in front of the Jinyiwei Yamen , lost people in a blink of an eye... Do they still have the face to go home
What is even more embarrassing is that they are so lively, surrounded by too many people, blocking the road, and attracting people from Daxing County. Fortunately, one of the Wang Shuban who came over had been to his house with the magistrate Jiang. Knowing that he was the steward of the official family, he asked Zao to evacuate passers-by and asked him kindly what happened.
Cui Liangdong said ashamedly, "Our second son didn't want to ride in our car, so he got off and ran away. We have to find him, so thank you sir for saving the siege."
Wang Shuban said in surprise, "That little boy in your family? Then you have to find it quickly. How old is a child, don't let anyone kidnap him!"
Calling him to say this made Cui Liangdong anxious. Although Cui Heng is not a child of several years old, he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he came back after suffering all the way.
He was about to go after him in a hurry, and Wang Shuban saw that his family was also commended by the county magistrate, so he asked a few yamen to accompany him to find it. Cui Liangdong didn't want to lose this person, he just said that he went to a foreign house, and he could find it by himself, but Wang Shuban persuaded him: "You only said that he went to a foreign house, what if he didn't see anyone there, what would he do? A few veterans of the investigation will go, and if something happens, you can find someone for you."
Cui Liangdong lost people and smashed his errands. It was when there were no masters, and people said what they said. They asked the coachman to pull two old Zao Li and let go of their horses and ran towards Xu's house in Nanguan.
Their horses were fast, their cars were good, and they all knew the way. They were not much slower than Cui Heng when they arrived at Xu's house. When the car arrived, they saw him slamming at the door of Xu's house and shouting: "Let me I'm going in, I'm the young master of your family!"
The coachman let out a breath and pulled the carriage to a stop.
The door of the Xu family was closed, but an indifferent voice came from behind the small door: "Young Master Cui, please go back! Our family and the Cui family have long since broken marriage, and even if the lady is still there, you are not her son. What's more, the lady has already been removed from the name of the ancestral hall opened by the master, let alone you, even she can't enter the Xu family, it's useless for you to say anything."
The voice was not loud, and it was across the door, so only Cui Heng could hear it. Cui Liangdong and the driver only heard him shouting, but didn't hear any reply from the Xu family. They thought he was about to enter the Xu family. Want us to bring you back?"
Xiao Haijing was determined to follow the young master to escape, so she returned to Xu's house and then became a master, twisting her body and shouting: "I am the one who bought the second brother's wife, and I am in the hands of the second brother, so I have to follow him back. Home, you let me out!"
At this time, Cui Heng didn't even know that there was someone behind him. He slid down the door and knelt on the ground, knocking heavily on the door and shouting, "Let me in! Go and call my grandma. Grandma loves me and my mother the most and won't leave me alone. Yes! The Cui family has already called that bastard from the military household to occupy it, and his people are used up and down. If I don't go back, I can't go back!"
The sound of crying and cursing reached the coachman's ears, and there were neighbors watching. The frightened coachman immediately pulled the reins, jumped out of the car and ran towards Cui Heng, trying to gag his mouth.
But a cold and stern woman's voice came from the door: "Master Cui, this is the Xu family, not your Cui family, and we don't want to hear you insulting your elder brother! My son has caused you to become unstable in your official position, and the Xu family is up and down. My reputation is also discredited, and I dare to make another case of robbing other people's sons? If I get into a lawsuit again, I won't have the face to enter the Xu family's ancestral grave after my death!"
This voice completely broke Cui Heng's thoughts. He knocked on the door and shouted: "Grandma, grandma, I'm Brother Heng, don't you love me the most? You ask me in, I'm still your Heng. Brother... My mother did something wrong, I didn't! I didn't hurt my uncle, it's all the fault... "
The driver hugged Cui Heng from behind, blocked his mouth with a towel, and dragged him back without saying a word. He was still struggling, but the driver was young and strong, and two soapmen also came to help and dragged him into the car.
Several people looked at each other, Cui Liangdong was terrified, sweating like water, but the two soap servants comforted him: "Children are sometimes weak, easy to bump into customers, and everything they do is driven by ghosts. Seriously, go home and pour the boy's urine on it. We are all old businessmen, and we are acquaintances, so we won't talk nonsense to you. "
Cui Liangdong smiled with a guilty conscience, took out the broken silver to the two soap servants as hush money, and asked them to help escort the person to the house. After returning home, he ordered Xiao Haijing to be tied up, boiled a tranquilizer for the second young master, and sat in the yard by himself, waiting restlessly for Cui Xie to return home.
