Only this green, not disappointing the spring

"Where did this wild girl come from, so shameless that she chased after other people's carriages?

"Hey, bastard! I'm giving you one last chance, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being rude!"

The young eunuch was interacting with people as a normal man for the first time, and he was excited but also a little nervous. If you listen carefully, you can detect a slight tremor in his voice.

However, his voice was too shrill, and his whole person exuded a sense of femininity from the inside out. Shangguan Qingyue saw the clue at a glance.

She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: He's actually a eunuch? The person sitting in the carriage, isn't he the prince?

The crown prince should not have such a foolish eunuch close to him, so this can be ruled out; the second prince died young, and there is no need to mention the third prince; as for the fourth prince, it is said that his mother was just a palace maid, and she has always been like an invisible person.

After all is said and done, the most likely person is the Fifth Prince who made a fool of himself at the flower-viewing banquet.

Tsk, I don’t know what the imperial concubine is thinking. She ignores her own son and instead cares about someone else’s child!

The little eunuch's arrogant shouting did not scare Shangguan Qingyue away at all.

She said calmly:

"Sir... there is only one road leading to the outskirts of Beijing. Could it be that your family built it so that no one else can step on it?

I was riding my donkey and walking peacefully. How could you see that I was chasing you so closely?"

The young eunuch didn't believe a word of it.

Humph, there are so many people who are good at talking, and you think he can get away with it with just a few words. Do you think he is a fool?

He had just forgotten to lower his voice, and this time, he spoke with a thick neck:

"Little girl, who can't see through your little tricks? Stop saying one thing and thinking another. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

Shangguan Qingyue was too lazy to argue with such a self-righteous person. Like servant, like master, so her impression of the Fifth Prince became even worse.

She patted Donkey Xiaohua's head gently and said:

"Little Flower, it's time to show your abilities. Now charge forward!"

As she spoke, she grabbed the reins with both hands and clamped her legs around the donkey's belly. The little donkey, which had been leisurely just a moment ago, kicked its hind legs backwards and rushed out like an arrow!

When passing by the young eunuch, the donkey whipped him with its long tail and let out a loud fart...

Bing Ling suppressed the slightly twitching corners of her mouth and deliberately followed from a distance.

Shangguan Qingyue's clear voice came from the front:

"This time, I will be the one walking in front. If you keep following me, will I regard you as malicious scoundrels?"

The voice gradually faded away, leaving the young eunuch with his left face red and swollen, dishevelled in the cold wind.

……

It is now the twelfth lunar month, and as the old saying goes, the New Year comes after the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The New Year is approaching, but the two nephews still refuse to give up and are reluctant to return home.

As an aunt, Baili Nanqing, no matter how generous she was, could not sit still at this moment.

She took advantage of her daughter's absence and called the two brothers to her yard.

Baili Jinheng and Baili Jinlin now focus all their energy on Shuiyunjian, and both of them have multiple duties.

In short, they go wherever there is a shortage of people.

A few days ago, the waiter in charge of reception in the store caught a cold and had to rest at home, so Baili Jinlin changed his clothes and went to take his place.

But the problem is that the waiter is not only responsible for leading the guests and taking orders, but also has to wipe the soles of the guests' shoes when they enter the store...

Just when everyone didn't believe that he would condescend to do such a thing, he had already started working with ease!

Once, Shangguan Qingyue happened to see him and was so shocked that she almost dropped the plate in her hand! Only after she tried her best to stop him did Baili Jinlin give up.

The two brothers were called by their aunt, feeling very nervous, but also a little excited.

Since coming to Beijing, the two of them have been devoted to their little cousin, and my aunt must have seen it all. I hope that I called them here this time for what I have in mind.

There were two exquisite wooden boxes on the table in the hall. Because of their extremely conspicuous position, the two brothers' eyes were attracted to them as soon as they stepped into the room.

The first person to speak was still the lively Baili Jinlin:

"Aunt, why did you ask us two brothers to come here? The business in the shop is getting busier and busier, and we can hardly get away. Let's not beat around the bush and get to the point!"

Well, she was still struggling with how to start this conversation, but since her nephew had said so...

"You brothers should pack up your things these days and prepare to go home."

Baili Jinlin: My aunt is mighty.

Baili Jinheng: ...

"Aunt, cousin Yue'er's shop cannot do without people, so let Third Brother go back alone. I will stay here to accompany you for the New Year, okay?"

Baili Jinlin ran briskly behind Baili Nanqing and gave her a shoulder and back massage in a flattering manner.

Baili Jinheng pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, obviously unhappy.

Baili Nanqing sighed lightly and said something shocking again:

"Both of you brothers are interested in Yue'er, right? You should be able to see after being in Beijing for so long that Yue'er is devoted to her business and has not yet developed any feelings..."

Seeing that Baili Jinlin was a little anxious, she patted the hand on her shoulder and said:

"Jinlin, you sit down too, let's have a good talk today.

Yue'er was a child that I, your aunt, had to go through so much trouble to find, and I would never give her to someone else so soon. Moreover, she only treats you two as her own brothers, and there is no trace of love between you and her.

So, it's time to make a decision. My dear children, you two are so outstanding, you will definitely find a good match in the future."

She thought that her two nephews would find it hard to accept her words, but she didn't expect that they didn't react strongly, but just lowered their heads and said nothing.

They were not stupid, and it was hard to say whether the little cousin had developed feelings for him, but she was definitely not interested in them. But people are always greedy, always fantasizing that there might still be a slight possibility, so they persisted stubbornly and refused to give up.

Looking at the fourth one who was the most active in thinking, Baili Nanqing asked:

"Jinlin, what do you think?"

Baili Jinlin did not answer, but pointed at the box on the table and asked:

"Aunt, is this box a gift for me and my third brother? What's in it?"

Seeing his nephew with a bitter face, Baili Nanqing felt a little sorry for him, so he pinched his palm with his fingernails and said reluctantly:

"Yes... it's the reward your cousin gave you. I, your aunt, added some more. Just think of it as a red envelope for you in advance for the New Year."

The exquisite box was opened, and inside was a neatly stacked pile of silver bills, all in denominations of 100 taels. It was estimated that there were at least 2,000 taels. The two brothers together had 4,000 taels.

To be honest, although my cousin's shop is doing a booming business, the profit is not very high because the ingredients used are of the best quality.

I'm afraid I can't earn that much money in the past two months combined.

Baili Jinheng suddenly said:

"Aunt, we are a family, we don't talk about money."

Putting the teacup heavily back on the table, Baili Nanqing glared and scolded:

"Nonsense! As the old saying goes: Brothers should be clear about accounts.

You two brothers have worked so hard for Shuiyunjian and even went to the south to buy goods. You deserve this!"

As soon as her voice rose, the two brothers subconsciously showed their fear. Few people could stand their aunt's hot temper.

Baili Jinlin could only mutter quietly:

"You can't give me that much. My little cousin has only earned a few silver coins."

"Pfft...don't be so self-indulgent. Yue'er only gave you 500 taels each, and the rest was added by me, your aunt.

Alas, I don’t have much of anything except money! "

Baili Jinlin: I hate showing off the most!

"Aunt, I want to come back again after the New Year."

Baili Nanqing became anxious when she heard this. Why is this child so stubborn?

Seeing that his aunt was on the verge of a rage, Baili Jinlin continued with a trembling heart:

"Don't be impatient, old man. Let me finish what I want to say.

I have been living in a daze in my hometown, but I have been having a great time in the clouds these days! Aunt, it seems that my nephew has found something that he can stick to. Please let me try!"

Baili Nanqing was silent for a moment, then suddenly jumped up from the chair, stretched out his hand and slapped his nephew's head hard.

"Who's old, you little brat? Who's old, anyway?

You actually dared to call me 'old man', you have grown up! You don't have to go back, I will beat you to death today!"
