The whole family sat neatly in Shun'an Hall, as if they were waiting for Xue Yanrong to come to Xingshi to question him.

"Yan Rong——" Zheng Junqing naturally knew that her child could not go to that kind of place, and even if she did, she must have business to do, and when she saw her coming, she immediately stood up.

"Sit down!" Lu Shi shouted, his eyes widened.

"Mother--"

"It's this time, and you still want to speak for him?" Lu Shi narrowed his eyes, with a stern expression, "You have to have a sense of propriety when you love your son!"

Xue Yanrong walked over, helped Zheng Junqing who had stood up to sit on the chair again, cast a reassuring look, and then looked up at grandmother Lu——

"I don't know what wrong Yan Rong did to make grandma so angry?"

Ye Shanrong on the side quickly spoke up——

"Brother Rong, it's not the second aunt who wants to talk about you. Our Xue family is also a figure in the capital after all, and your second uncle still has an official position. Yan Chao will take the imperial examination next year, even if you don't think about it in our courtyard. , but you have a sister who is a concubine in the palace, I think you are used to being alone outside the customs, but now you are back home after all, there are some things that should be avoided or should be avoided."

Ye Shanrong obviously felt that the incident was not big enough. In front of the whole family, he first moved out of Xue's family, then proposed Xue Huaiqiu's official position, added Xue Yanchao's official career, and finally moved out of the palace's relatives. Sister, forcibly confiscated a scumbag who was in vain and disregarded family affection, for fear of missing any opportunity to step on in front of the old lady, her face looked benevolent, but her heart was very vicious.

"Something?" Xue Yanrong raised his eyebrows, and pretended to be stupid with her, "I wonder what Second Aunt wants Yan Rong to avoid? We are all a family, so you can speak directly if you have something to say, but you don't need to be so polite."

"If you want to say that, then I really have to say a few words to you—" Ye Shanrong's eyebrows raised, and the elder's shelf was straightened, "You spent 700 taels of silver in Quanxiang Pavilion to photograph a girl's first night , can this happen?"

"What am I doing, so it's this." Xue Yanrong nodded indifferently, "I did it."

"Look at it! Look at it! He admitted it himself this time!" The old lady slapped the table with a slap and pointed at Zheng Junqing, "How about it! I didn't wrong your precious son!"

"Mother, there must be a reason for Yan Rong—"

"There is a reason! The reason is too big to allow him to mess around in Beijing! Our Xue family! We can't afford to lose this person!"

The old lady's eyebrows were almost frowning into a straight line——

"If you like, you can marry a decent woman, or take a few girls from a good family. What's the point of going to the Goulan Washing House! It's dirty and smelly! Don't be afraid to come back sick! Let me tell you! Thinking that if you can earn a few coins, you can rule lawlessly in this family! If I'm still alive!"

After saying that, he pounded the ground heavily with the crutch in his hand, as if he was about to hit someone.

Seeing this, Ye Shanrong immediately became a good person, first walked to the side of the old lady, stroked her back——

"Mother, please take care of yourself. Don't make yourself angry because of such a trivial matter. After all, Brother Rong is still young, and his blood is more vigorous, which is understandable."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xue Yanrong again, and said anxiously——

"You too! How angry are you with grandma?! Hurry up and kowtow to grandma to admit your mistake!!"

Xue Yanrong watched the two of them sing together, it really seemed like a bad face on the stage——

However, Xue Yanrong was not frightened too much, shouting and making trouble, just wanted to kowtow to admit his mistake, maybe he underestimated himself too much?

Then he arched his hands and said with an innocent face——

"Yan Rong did nothing wrong, why did he kowtow to admit his mistake?"

"You rebellious son! You still want to quibble! Are you going to piss me off!" Lu's nostrils opened and closed, gasping for breath, and began to yell: "Fortunately, your father died early, so you have no one to discipline you!" How dare you ignore your elders now!"

As soon as the words fell, the old lady pushed Ye Shanrong away, and looked at Zheng Junqing viciously——

"It's all you! You taught my grandson like this! You're sorry Huai Li!"

Xue Yanrong could bear anything in his life, but he couldn't bear Zheng Junqing being accused like this. If he couldn't even protect his own mother, then all these years would be in vain!

With a sudden step, he stood in front of Zheng Junqing, raised his eyes to look at the troublesome old lady, and said in a cold voice——

"Grandmother, grandson hasn't finished talking yet."

"Okay! Tell me! I want to hear it! What lies can you make up!"

"I did go to Quanxiang Pavilion, and it was true that I took pictures of a girl's first night, but it was not for me, but for a friend who helped me a lot outside the pass, and now he has been promoted to the assistant leader. , This is the first time I have come to the capital again, I just want to show my friendship as a landlord, drink a few drinks with him during the day, and come back to the house at night, if grandma doesn't believe it, you can ask the concierge."

Lu's face was startled, and he only looked up at Ye Shanrong——

And Ye Shanrong seemed to have only a half-knowledge about the matter, he froze to the side and didn't know what to say.

Before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could come up with a countermeasure, Wen Du outside the door came uninvited——

Entering the door while arching hands——

"Oh, it's really different for a big door. If I don't have someone to take it with me, I will get lost!"

As he spoke, he walked to Xue Yanrong's side, and patted him on the shoulder quite affectionately——

"What's wrong with you? You must have been scolded."

Wen Du winked at Xue Yanrong, and then looked at Mrs. Lu on the main seat——

"Hello, old lady! I, Wendu, are here to wish you New Year greetings!"

Lu Shi and Ye Shanrong were completely confused by this blow, looking at the unexpected visitor in front of them, they didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Wendu is an acquaintance. After paying New Year's greetings, he revealed the things in his arms——

"This is a New Year's greeting that I personally chose. Please don't think of me as a rude old lady. If you are not satisfied, please forgive me."

The moment the brocade box was opened, Lu Shi's froze expression on his face immediately relaxed——

They were a pair of emerald longevity peaches inlaid with gold rims, and there were two golden golden leaves on them. Although they were not as expensive as the coral island Xue Yanrong gave them, they were better than tricks. Old people just love longevity, especially people like Lu For a person like Shi who enjoys all the wealth and honor, naturally the longer he lives, the happier he will be.

"You are fine too—"

Lu's face changed as soon as he said it, just now it was covered with dark clouds, but now the clouds and mists have been lifted to see the sun——

"It's costing you a lot of money, Yan Rong, you have to treat him well!"

Before Xue Yanrong could speak, Wen Du kept nodding his head——

"Don't worry, Yan Rong has already entertained me. In the past few days, I have eaten and drank well and lived in Quanxiang Pavilion! I heard from him that his family does not allow him to visit the brothel. If not, I will I came here specially to explain to him, old lady, you must not listen to the nonsense of those villains, you have wronged Yan Rong, he is the best person I have ever met!"

Lu Shi's face turned blue and then white——

"How could it be, my own grandson, I understand!"

After finishing speaking, he glared at Ye Shanrong again, and then waved his hands——

"Come on, you young people have a good talk. I'm old and I can't keep up with energy. I have to go back and rest now."

"Go slowly, old lady." Wen Du laughed, and the black beard on his face trembled accordingly.

As soon as the old lady left, Ye Shanrong was alone, and now he was the target of public criticism, whether he laughed or not——

"Look, mother is also true, this misunderstanding has caused trouble."

Naturally, Xue Yanrong couldn't say anything about Ye Shanrong, but Zheng Junqing was different. Just now, he listened to Ye Shanrong's eccentric words without saying a word. the man said—

"Whoever chews her tongue indiscriminately in the future! Carefully, I pulled out her tongue!"

After finishing speaking, he ignored Ye Shanrong, and just walked towards Xue Yanrong and Wen Du——

"Stay here for dinner at night, everyone is here, but you must not leave."

Wen Du laughed——

"Don't worry, I will definitely eat a cow before leaving!"

"One head is enough, at least ten heads are enough."

"Then I won't be polite—hahaha!"

It was rare for Zheng Junqing to chat and laugh with the juniors. Seeing Wen Du being so open-minded, he felt relieved, looked at Xue Yanrong and waved his hand——

"You don't want to give it away, just greet him well."

"Yes, my son knows."

Everyone in the room left one by one, only Ye Shanrong was left at the end. The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became. As soon as I returned to Nuanxiang Garden, I rushed to the yard with my back feet, towards the direction of Qingyin Pavilion, and spit on my hips ——

"This is obviously a game set up by the old lady, and I am the only co-author! Go and pull out the old lady's tongue if you have the ability!"

Thinking of Lu's stare just now, Ye Shanrong was so aggrieved that he was dying——

"Everything is everything!"

Ye Shanrong was angry, how could he hold it back, he had to send it out, Xue Yanchao was his own son, of course he was not willing to vent his anger, Ji Qing was different, he was a dog slave, and he was rewarded immediately!

"Don't think that I don't know that you take Brother Chao to such a messy place! There will be another time! I will definitely kill you!"

Xue Yanchao was so frightened that he didn't dare to move beside him, and watched Ji Qing finish the board.

Everyone in the Nuanxiang Pavilion is in danger, but the Qizi Hall is already full of fragrance. The mutton on the pot must be cooked soon——

Wen Du sat cross-legged, shaking his head while drinking kumiss——

"Your grandmother is not a simple person."

"It's more than that—" Xue Yanrong nodded her chin, "Standing beside my grandmother is my second aunt, and she is not a simple person. She spends every day thinking about how to peel my skin and tear my bones apart."

"Since that's the case, why do you have to stay in the capital? It's not as comfortable as staying outside the pass."

"I think so too, but there is still a mother at home, and a sister in the palace, I can't let go of these."

Wen Du sighed——

"You worry too much, so tired, easy to grow old."

Xue Yanrong smiled, are you old?is old--

He lowered his head and drank the wine in the glass, and then asked——

"Why did you come here suddenly, and that longevity peach, when did you buy it?"

Wen Du waved his hand——

"You still said, I told you when I went, don't be scolded alone, but you still didn't listen to me, instead of waiting for you to call me, why don't I go there first, there is an outsider, and they don't It’s scolding, but as for the longevity peach, it’s even simpler—I just asked a boy and I knew that the old lady likes gold, so I sent someone to buy it temporarily, it’s not bad.”

"It's more than good, it's really good!" Xue Yanrong gave a thumbs up and said, "Shoutao inlaid with gold is rich and long-lived. She can't put it down. It's just costing you money. I'm a little embarrassed——"

"If you talk about such a gift again, I'm going to get angry!" Wen Du patted Xue Yanrong on the shoulder, "It's only a lot of money, and it's nothing compared to what you gave me in Quanxiang Pavilion!"

After all, a few more glasses of wine——

By the time the mutton was served, both of them were almost half drunk.

Yao Shichu and Xu Yu guarded in the outer room——

I only heard the people in the room chatting and singing——

Yao Shichu felt a little worried——

"When will this drink stop?"

Xu Yu shook his head——

"Whatever it is, it will be late at night."

After three rounds of drinking and more than half of the night, the house became silent——

Xue Yanrong lifted the curtain and came out from the back room. Except for his face turning red, he was not very drunk.

"Second Lord—"

Yao Shichu hastily handed over a towel and tea.

Xue Yanrong took it and rinsed his mouth first, then wiped his face and exhaled, as if he felt much more comfortable.

"Second Master, is Master Wendu drunk?" Xu Yu walked to the side of Ruantao, and saw Wendu leaning on the cushion, shouting loudly, then walked quickly to the door, opened the curtain, and poked his head out "Your drinking capacity has increased! You can even drink him!"

"You looked up at me too—" Xue Yanrong walked in while talking, pointing to the spittoon in the soft place, "How can I drink more than him, I poured all the wine when he was confused behind him gone."

After speaking, he rubbed his forehead again.

Seeing this, Yao Shichu quickly opened the window for ventilation, and patted Xu Yu on the shoulder——

"Hurry up and help him to the side room. Don't stay here anymore. After drinking for a while, it will be dawn if you continue to drink."

Xu Yu nodded, and put Wen Du's arm around his neck. He hummed, the veins on his forehead popped out, but Wen Du didn't move at all——

"Oh my mother—he must weigh two hundred catties?!"

"What are you poor-" Yao Shichu supported Xue Yanrong to sit on the chair, and then went to the door and called two more servants.

The two young servants held one arm, and Xu Yu supported it behind his head. When Wen Du was sent to the side room, the three of them were also out of breath.

Yao Shichu made a bowl of hangover soup, saw Xue Yanrong standing in front of the window, and quickly went to close the window——

"Don't turn it off, it's too hot, cool off—"

"You are cool now, and you should have a headache tomorrow morning."

After Yao Shichu said that, he went to the bed and spread out the quilt——

"If you are upset and can't sleep, then don't go to sleep. Anyway, there is nothing important tomorrow. It's okay to rest for a day."

Xue Yanrong was stunned, and picked up the hangover soup on the table——

"What's bothering me? I'm not upset."

After Yao Shichu spread the mattress, he turned around again——

"How many years have I been with you, you are not upset, Gao is not happy, this kind of eyesight, servants still have it."

"Just say what you want, I have a headache and don't want to waste my brain." Xue Yanrong frowned.

When Yao Shichu saw this, he didn't hide it either——

"Say it straight, it's better than you keep it in your heart—" After saying that, she pursed her lips and paused, then said again: "Second Miss Yu is looking for you."

"Hiss! Xu Yu has such a big mouth! He said it again!" Xue Yanrong stood up abruptly with his neck stuck, probably because he had been drinking and his feet were a little unsteady, so he stood up and sat back down.

"Wait a little longer—" Yao Shichu loosened the button of her collar, "Aren't you upset, why are you so anxious?"

Xue Yanrong rubbed his forehead with his fingers——

"I'm not upset, I'm, I'm helpless! My mother told me that she is a good girl and told me not to hurt her, but how can there be a way to have both in the world? If she doesn't hurt her thoroughly, how can she Give up on this? Rao if I bumped into it today, I just ignored it—"

"Then your reputation—"

Xue Yanrong shook his head——

"No matter how bad my reputation is, it's nothing more than that. If I really delay her, I will be the real sinner."

Yao Shichu sighed deeply——

"Second Master, I should not have said something. In fact, the reason why you reject Second Miss Yu like this is because you are afraid of delaying her. The more important thing is that you don't like her enough, right?"

Xue Yanrong's breath was stagnant, and he suddenly looked up——

Yao Shichu blinked——

"Don't look at me like that. I don't think it's a big deal. It's a good thing if you really have someone who knows the cold and hot by your side!"

Xue Yanrong seemed to be more than half sober from the wine, and his frown was deeper than before——

"Don't say that again."

"Second Lord—"

"I'm tired, you step back."
