Concubine Survival Guide

Sheng Yan and the little beggar met on the next night, and they came to the broken well where Xiao Si was abandoned. With the help of the fat drunkard master, they sealed the well, and made a small grave next to it, hiding it in the grass. Here, it is not easy to be found.

After this conversation, Sheng Yan got a rough idea of ​​the origin of the fat drunkard master. He came from the north to the south, and his surname was Leng.It is said that a friend of his is a cousin of the little beggar's mother, and the little beggar was entrusted by his mother to take him away from the place of right and wrong after he got into a catastrophe at home.

Sheng Yan curiously asked him the little beggar's name, the fat drunkard laughed and said, "His original surname can't be used anymore, and his original name is also quite ugly, so I don't want to tell you... It's strange to say... Ah, this little wolf cub is thick everywhere, but his skin is very thin."

The little beggar made a face behind him and kicked him.

Have a hard time hearing a name you can't say?Sheng Yan pouted helplessly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, anyway, the little beggar's family situation doesn't make any difference to him.

"You can name yourself whatever you want, really... you can't lie." Seeing Sheng Yan walking away, the fat drunkard dragged the little beggar to the largest kitchen in the Dragon Mansion.

"You want me to steal wine again?!" He shook off his hand in displeasure, and the little beggar squatted on the ground without moving.

The fat drunkard hurried over, grabbed a lock of his hair and said, "Why, you don't want to lie to Long Xiaoshi? You, it's just that the tendons in your head are too straight, and you can't turn a corner. Otherwise, how could you?" To where it is today?"

The little beggar kicked the stones on the ground, bowed his head and said nothing.

"You still think it's not good for me to let you steal wine? Little wolf, you have to figure it out. Now we live under the fence and sneak around... Although I can teach you martial arts, I have no ability to make money, so I have to stay here and eat from the Long family. Don't worry. , the Long family has a lot of property, even if we eat for 20 years, Shengyan won’t suffer much.” The fat alcoholic drank the last drop of wine in the gourd, stuck out his tongue to lick it unwillingly, and bumped it. His arm, "Look, it's really gone!"

"Sheng Yan is a concubine. He grew up like this. If the brothers of the Long family split up...he will not get any property." The little beggar raised his face to look at him, and lifted his gourd from his eyes with one finger. pay off.

"Yeah, that can't be helped. Birth determines destiny." Why did I accept such an apprentice? It seemed easy to bully, but in fact it was a rock that could not be broken or broken. If you don't talk about a set of principles, you can't look down on some things and refuse to do them.

The little beggar crossed his arms and looked at the sky, and said quietly: "Master, I really didn't understand what you said in the past, but now I understand a little bit... People have to bow their heads under the eaves, and a man can bend and stretch. What I do should not be done." He is a reckless person, but a person who can think deeply and keep a low profile, right?"

"Oh brat, you've finally come to your senses!" The fat drunkard clapped his hands excitedly, and the little beggar's feet sank halfway into the mud.

The little beggar looked at him with a stiff face, "Tomorrow, can you teach me a new sword technique?"

"Okay, good boy, you've practiced kung fu well. You work so hard even when I'm not here. It's like a different person... Eh, you didn't do this for so-and-so, did you?" This was good progress for him. There is still a weakness, the fat alcoholic is too lazy to think about it, and he can't figure it out clearly, so he grabs him and walks forward, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can drink as much as you want for every meal in the future, you can do whatever you want!"

"Are you willing to heal the leg that holds the smoke?" The little beggar remained motionless, standing on the spot and striding forward, only slightly raising his brows.

"Okay, why don't I agree, go and get me a drink..." Seeing a gust of wind blowing in front of him, the fat drunkard calmly rubbed his eyes and clicked his mouth, "It's amazing, little wolf The boy has learned 19% of my lightness kung fu, he is only nine years old... oh, let me do the math... It's over, when he is [-] years old, I can't keep my kung fu under the bottom of the box! Ouch, junior brother, you really hurt me Now, I have to slip away as soon as the lesson is over, I can't let this little wolf cub defeat me."

Looking up, he felt that the moonlight was too bright tonight. The fat drunkard sat on a brick and took a nap, opening his mouth and talking to himself incessantly: "Little wolf cub's mother is gone, alas... I don't know how to hide it from him." When is it possible to keep it a secret for a day? Seriously, why do I always have to do this kind of thing... Brother bastard, I must not let you run away next time!"

On the other side, Sheng Yan returned to Zhuluan Courtyard with a lantern, and saw Xing'er, Xin'er, and Xiping coming out of Lianxiangju.

"Little master, you are back, the one in the backyard..." Xing'er grabbed him anxiously, and said: "The pear blossom tree seedlings sent by the young master just now, we walked away for an incense stick of time, and we all walked away." ……All……"

"Speak slowly, what happened to the sapling?" Sheng Yan raised her delicate eyebrows and looked at her coldly.

Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Xiping beside her, and said: "Xiping said that the saplings just sent were not good and plant them immediately, and now that it's getting dark, she said that she would find someone to plant them tomorrow, so Xin and I Then I went to work in the kitchen. When I came out, I found that the roots of the saplings were torn off..."

"What?!" The high-pitched roar caused Xing'er and Xin'er to bury their heads instantly, Xiping was also startled, and lowered her head even lower unconsciously.

Sheng Yan raised his feet and walked in, stood in the backyard and looked carefully, and suddenly flew into a rage, "This kind of thing will happen! This is what my elder brother ordered someone to dig it from the back mountain and give it to me. I only had it for an hour Not here...you can't even do such small things well, say, what should I do?"

Turning his head, he looked at the silent Xiping, and asked sharply, "Why did Xiping come here, but does Second Brother have any orders?"

"Back to the tenth young master, it was because Mingyan was not free by the young master's side, and the manpower in Chenxiang Pavilion was short at the moment, so I asked the younger one to come over and supervise those servants. The younger one was halfway there, but was called back by Xin'er This matter is really tricky, Xiping never expected that the saplings just sent over would be destroyed, if the eldest and second young masters asked, he would not be able to explain it.

The same is true for Mingyan, suddenly entrusting himself with such an errand, it is too difficult to earn such a lot of money.

"I can't deal with this matter. You should go back and answer the second brother first. As for the big brother...Xing'er, I can only go for a while. If the big brother blames you, you can say that I didn't pay attention to it and the guards were improper. Let's go." Sheng Yan lowered her voice and ordered, seeing Xing'er hesitated a little, and sighed: "I can't say that there are thieves visiting, go and go."

Xing'er turned her head three times and winked at Xin'er, asking her to persuade her, and then went out with Xiping.

Walking halfway, Xing'er hesitated for a moment, stomped her feet, gritted her teeth and walked towards Hexiangju.

Whether this matter is big or small, I am afraid that others will make a fuss.Xing'er knew this very well, so she decided to go to Second Aunt.

Xiao Xi led Xing'er in to talk, Second Aunt frowned when she heard this, "Can you see who it is?"

"Earlier, I heard some movement. At first I thought it was a mouse, but later I realized... so the servant did not see it, please punish me by Second Aunt." Xing'er explained the process of what happened in detail, knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise her head.

The second aunt gave Xiao Xi a look, told her to get the skirt, and waved her to get up.

"Seriously speaking, you should be punished, but if you really want to be punished, it should be decided by your little master, and get up! If you kowtow to apologize for your sins, it makes me dizzy."

Xing'er heaved a sigh of relief, waited for Second Aunt to go out, waited until the passage at the fork in the road, and then rushed to Chenxiang Pavilion.

Half an hour passed, and the Lianxiangju, which was filled with smoke, was brightly lit for a while.First, the Second Aunt arrived with a group of maids, then the Eldest Young Master, the Second Young Master and several attendants. A crowd of people filled the backyard, and more than a dozen lanterns illuminated the dilapidated pear blossom saplings on the ground.

How could Long Bifei not be suspicious of what Sheng Yan told Xing'er to say.

A dim light flickered on the soil, indicating that the roots had been torn off on purpose.

Long Bifei remained silent for a long time, and immediately called Mingyan and asked him why he entrusted Xiping with this errand.Mingyan knelt down tremblingly, saying that he felt extremely unwell in the evening, and thought it was just a trivial matter, so he boldly entrusted Xiping to Xiping.

"Mingyan, your errands have gone wrong recently...why do you think this is?" Long Bifei smiled, but it felt like a wall of ice was erected as soon as he raised his eyes.

Mingyan was speechless and could only bow his head silently, waiting for his master to punish him.

Long Bifei asked Xiping again, and then said to Sheng Yan: "I think someone did this on purpose, either to you or...to me." Judging from the days since he came back, Xiao Shi He behaved in a well-regulated manner, and he was also polite to his brothers. If he said that he provoked others, he would rather believe that someone was narrow-minded and guilty of jealousy.

As soon as he said this, everyone knew that the matter was serious.

How much courage does it take to break ground on the head of the young master?

But today, how many people know that the young master sent someone to give saplings to Sheng Yan?This is well worth exploring and thinking about.

Sheng Yan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but his obviously dim eyes made both Long Bifei and Long Bisheng look down on him.It's rare to have a well-behaved younger brother, but you want to see him disheartened?

The matter of the black cat was exposed, but this matter must be thoroughly investigated!

If their kindness to Sheng Yan became a reason for others to bully him, how could they treat themselves as elder brothers in the future.

Long Bifei and Long Bisheng bit their ears, and said to everyone: "Leaving aside the loss of these dozen saplings, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened in the Long family... If it spreads out, what kind of dignity will it be?" ?! So, I decided to find out this matter myself, some people should be taught a lesson, otherwise he will forget who is the master in the Long family!"

Then he raised his chin to look at Second Aunt and asked her opinion.

The second aunt was of course happy that the young master took away the troublesome matter, and said that everything would be handled by the young master, she said a few words of comfort to Sheng Yan, and walked away gracefully with him.

Sheng Yan squatted down and pinched these broken roots, and took a breath of regret, "Perhaps Xiao Shi's life is really bad, as long as I like something, God will deprive me of the right to own them. Who am I in this matter?" I don't complain, I just blame Xiao Shi for being unlucky..."

"What are you talking about, get up!" Long Bisheng pulled him up and slapped him hard on the forehead, "Others will advance a foot in you, but if you keep retreating, they will make an inch of it. You are the young master of the Long family!" , how can you be so cowardly?"

Long Bifei nodded in agreement, took Sheng Yan's hand and patted it, "Don't be afraid, you can't run away when things happen, show some backbone, only in this way can those who looked down on you in the past regret it... Ten Brothers Do you know something?"

"Xiao Shi didn't see anyone sneaking into the yard, but... Xing'er and Xin'er said that there were suddenly a few nurses in Zhu Luan Courtyard tonight, and I don't know why." Sheng Yan frowned suspiciously, thinking deeply .

"Suddenly there are fewer guards..." Long Bifei rolled his eyes half a circle, and suddenly he was concerned, and left with Long Bisheng, instead of going back to the Chenxiang Pavilion, he went to see the butler, Uncle Lin, outside the Fenxiang Terrace.

When the butler, Uncle Lin, heard this, his expression became a little embarrassed, and he thought for a moment and replied: "Back to the first young master, it was the sixth young master who said that there were too many nursing homes at night, and that coming and going disturbed his sleep. , I just withdrew a few, I didn't expect..."

After hearing this, Long Bifei felt strange, and asked, "How many servants does Sixth Young Master have?"

"Three." Uncle Lin said without hesitation, and added: "In Zhu Luan's courtyard, only the fourth young master has more servants, five in total."

"That's quite a lot~" Long Bisheng sneered, blinked his eyes, and signaled to Long Bifei that there was no need to ask any more questions.

The two of them didn't bring any entourage, so no one communicated, they turned their heads and went straight into Long Bixun's small courtyard.

Seeing them, a little girl rushed in to report the news, and when Long Bixun came out after changing clothes, Long Bifei was already drinking a second cup of tea, while Long Bisheng was standing in the yard in front of the five young men, Looking up and down, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

"Big brother and second brother... Bi Xun just fell asleep, I wonder if you are coming..." He hurriedly saluted, hurriedly asked the big maid to bring fruit plate and snacks.

"No need." Long Bifei raised his hand, "I'm full of this tea."

Then I heard Long Bisheng say loudly in the open space of the vestibule: "You all raise your hands, with the backs of your hands facing up!"

Several young servants looked at each other, not knowing why, but Long Bixun's expression froze, and he stood aside with his head bowed, not daring to speak.

Long Bisheng looked at their hands one by one, returned to the room and nodded to Long Bifei: "There is mud in the nails. Although they washed them, they obviously washed them urgently and they didn't wash them all." Then he smiled at Long Bifei Erdao: "Fourth brother, I heard that although you five young men do some rough work on weekdays, you never dig the soil... eh? So what's the matter with the dirt under their fingernails?"

Long Bixun tried to quibble, "I don't know about this... They usually do a lot of work, maybe it's..."

"Fourth brother, if you were honest about what you did, I didn't want to punish you, but... you really disappointed me." Long Bifei knocked down the teacup heavily, "This batch of pear blossom saplings , I sent people to go to the back mountain to dig it. The soil in the back mountain is different from the soil here. It has a special fragrance. It is formed by the decay of withered petals all the year round. Do you want me to ask me to personally sample it for you? You smell it?"

"Brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't have done this!" Long Bixun didn't know which link went wrong how this matter would be revealed.

He clearly learned that the Fourth Young Master Fang would send someone to send jasmine seedlings to Shengyan today, so why did he become the big brother who sent pear blossom seedlings!Could it be Xiao Liu... Did Xiao Liu deliberately give me false news?

Seeing the red and white expressions on Long Bixun's face, Long Bifei turned his face away in disgust, and said: "You don't have to go to homework for a few days, and reflect on it in the room! Also, send someone to give Sheng Yan Yi dug up more than a dozen pear blossom saplings... and planted them one by one by himself!"

"Yes." Long Bixun replied unwillingly, lowering his eyelashes dejectedly.

Before deciding whether to drag Xiao Liu into the water, Long Bifei and Long Bifei had already walked away without looking back.He had no choice but to stand up angrily, rushed over and kicked a young servant in the chest, kicking him to the ground.

"Idiots, a bunch of idiots, I can't do this little thing well! Get paid tomorrow and get out of the house, don't show up in front of me again!"

After getting angry for a long time, he calmed down, put on two maidservants with a dark face, and broke into the gate of Long Bilian's courtyard.

It didn't take long before everyone outside heard a crisp sound of "crack" coming from Master Six's room.

Then Long Bilian exclaimed: "Rose water, my rose water!"
