Man Tang Huacai

Chapter 56 Fight
It was dark at night, and the front hall of Du's house was lit with lights.

The Du sisters are playing chess.

They have been here since before the sound of the evening drum, and have been playing chess into the night.

The chess game is there, but it has not changed for a long time.

Du Yi was holding a black chess piece, as if he was thinking about how to make the next move, but his eyes didn't fall on the chessboard at all, and he was very preoccupied.

"The curfew is on, why isn't grandpa coming back?" She finally couldn't help asking.

"The banquet didn't end so quickly."

"Ah."

Finally, there was movement in the front yard.

The chess pieces then fell back into the chess cage, the sister and sister had no intention of playing chess any more, so they got up and rushed over immediately.

I saw Du Youlin and Du Wulang riding in front, the servants were driving the carriage behind, and Hu Shisanniang was sitting on the shaft holding the copper pot, looking cheerful.

"Grandpa is back."

"Well, the old man doesn't want to go and taste the cooking, Mrs. Guo Guo sent a lot of things, let Quan Rui move them down."

It can be seen that the Du family is willing to show that they are close to Yang Yuyao, and she is satisfied.

Du Ti asked, "Is Xue Bai drunk again? Is he in the carriage?"

Du Youlin said lightly: "Let Wulang tell you."

Without waiting for the servant to bring up the lantern to lead the way, he walked to the backyard and sat alone behind the rockery for a while, dispelling the depression he had suffered today before returning to his room.

When Lu Fengniang came forward, he opened his mouth and said regretfully: "I lost [-] yuan in the blink of an eye! I want to make a family rule. Anyone from the Du family who dares to gamble will be expelled from the house!"

……

Over there, Du Jin had already opened the curtain of the car, but only saw boxes of presents, but no Xue Bai.

"Xue Bai didn't come back." Du Wulang scratched his head, "He stayed in Mrs. Guo's residence."

Du Jin had anticipated it a long time ago, and replied, "That's fine, he's done it again."

Having said that, she frowned, but felt very unhappy for no reason.

So I thought to myself that I was jealous of Mrs. Guo's power. Originally, my ambition in this life was to be a virtuous concubine with a long history even if I couldn't become a queen, but now I can only live precariously.

"It's a long story, let's talk in the side hall."

The three siblings sat down in the side hall.

Seeing that the two older sisters were silent, Du Wulang felt that the atmosphere was a little weird. He glanced at Du Yi, and she lowered her head, probably because she was sleepy.

"When I arrived at Mrs. Guo's mansion today, Grandpa praised the cooking first. Xue Bai recruited the famous chef Deng Lian, and Hu Shisanniang was in charge of the cooking. I will manage the kitchen, set up the fire and prepare the dishes. Don't you think it's easy, this is The trickiest part..."

"It's useful," Du Jin said.

"Everything I said is useful. Our stir-fry is delicious, and everyone praised it. After the banquet, Mrs. Guo Guo also praised me a lot and gave us property, but Xue Bai said no property."

"How did he say it?"

"Because the famous chef Deng Lian said that this cooking skill is worth a lot, and the chicken boy thought the dishes were too small, Xue Bai used this reason to propose to Mrs. Guo Guo to open a restaurant. The property she gave was the principal. [-]% of the profit; [-]% of the profit will be arranged by the Du family; since the skill of cooking belongs to him, he will also get [-]% of the profit. In addition, he will teach Deng Lian how to cook so that Mrs. Guo can eat it at home When it comes to cooking, Deng Lian needs to help improve his skills, and there is also a monthly profit..."

Du Jin said, "Go on, I know these things."

"How did Second Sister know?"

"What Xue Bai cares about is not money, but the fact of doing business with Yang Yuyao itself, understand?"

"I don't understand. At that time, I was thinking, what kind of person is Mrs. Guo Guo, how can she be in business and cheap? She is not short of those few coins. But I didn't expect that when Xue Bai said it, she smiled and agreed. "

When Du Jin heard that Yang Yuyao agreed too quickly, she was a little displeased, and said, "It's even a matter of doing business, adding a property, and asking Xue Bai to give her money every year, why wouldn't she be willing?"

"Grandpa refused." Du Wulang said: "Grandpa said that the Du family is famous and surnamed, and he will never deal with cheap business. Mrs. Guoguo just smiled and asked people to drive grandpa out, and told me 'tomorrow' Please ask Du Erniang to come to my house and talk about it', the strange thing is, Grandpa didn't say anything this time."

Du Jin was silent for a moment.

She actually understood that she could no longer remarry with her identity.But she was very angry, and she always wanted to do something, and it was not right for her grandpa to stop her, and it was not right not to stop her, so she simply pretended not to know.

"Now that we've settled the deal, why doesn't Xue Bai come back? You and grandpa took him out, and you didn't know how to bring him back?!"

"He has to stay and teach Deng Lian to cook." Du Wulang said, "Oh, Xue Bai said, as long as we have a partnership property with Mrs. Guo Guo, those who are not open-eyed will dare to bully us again. .”

Hearing these words, Du Yan's fingers trembled, and finally he raised his head with blank eyes.

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"What did you just say? The next sentence."

"Those who don't open their eyes won't bully us anymore."

Du Yan sniffed, turned her head away, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, but left the side hall without saying a word, and went back to the room alone.

"Alas." Du Wulang had a very understanding expression on his face, and explained to Du Jin: "Elder Sister has been in a bad mood recently because of that blind eye."

That night, Du Jin couldn't fall asleep.

After thinking about it, Xue Bai is also a snobbish person, women with no power spend all their time on him to let him take a look... such as Qing Lan, but he is extra attentive and considerate to Mrs. Guo Guo.

It can be seen that the daughter's family has to be self-reliant after all in the world, and Du Jin made up her mind secretly.

But turning over, she couldn't help but think about what he was doing in Mrs. Guo's mansion at this time?
~~
Mrs. Guo's mansion.

The fragrant boudoir covers the fog, and the Qi mat condenses the dust.

The stove was burning outside the boudoir. There was only incense in the boudoir, and there was no smell of smoke, but it was quite warm.

Yang Yuyao was dressed very lightly, and the maid was scrubbing her arms.The wet handkerchief wiped her rosy skin, and the smell of alcohol dissipated, but her head was even less clear.

"You dare not look at me?"

Xue Bai was sitting on the edge of the couch, only facing her sideways.

"It's late at night, it's time for Yaoniang to rest, is there a guest room in the mansion?"

Yang Yuyao lifted her foot and hooked his waist, preventing him from getting up and walking away, and said leisurely, "Come and serve me."

Since she let him stay, hiding it and being bored, the atmosphere has come, and she just needs to wait for him to serve.

Xue Bai didn't move.

He doesn't mind having a good time with Yang Yuyao, but he won't let himself become a plaything that may be thrown away at any time.He came to build a relationship, not come face to face.

The servants retreated and closed the door.

Yuzu hooked Xue Bai's waist and gently pulled him, then drifted away to another place. Yang Yuyao leaned there lazily, but smiled with satisfaction.

He is already emotional.

She relies on her beauty, and believes that her prosperity and wealth are all due to the beauty of her four sisters, and she also believes that she can get everything she wants.

But the next moment, Xue Bai backed away and turned his back.

"Shame?"

Yang Yuyao was taken aback for a moment, stood up, put her arms around Xue Bai's waist, and teased, "Is this your first time, young man?"

Xue Bai didn't answer right away, and let her hug for a while, feeling each other's body temperature rise, before opening his mouth.

"Let go, I'm not someone you can touch."

"There are only people I don't want to touch, there is no one I can't touch... Don't be nervous, my sister will teach you."

Xue Bai held her hand, took it away, and walked a few steps to put distance between them.

Yang Yuyao was taken aback again, and couldn't help becoming annoyed.

"This is for your own good." Xue Bai said, "Soon, I will become the son-in-law of the right minister's mansion."

"Tch, Li Genu, am I afraid of him?"

"Yaoniang is not afraid. No matter what, the right minister dare not offend Yaoniang. But what about me? I am happy for this night and offended the right minister. In the future, Yaoniang will abandon me like a shoe, but the right minister can make me There is no place to die."

"Humph."

Yang Yuyao was still annoyed.

She would not promise to protect him for the rest of her life.She has been used to the sky and has always been arrogant and indulgent. At this moment, she just felt that it was Xue Bai's fault for not wanting to take this risk for her.

However, Xue Bai turned around and said another sentence.

"Today I can present the delicacies and get Yaoniang to smile, I am satisfied."

His eyes have returned to clarity, he is not confused by her beauty, his temperament is noble and pure, and he has his own integrity.After bowing solemnly and then raising his head, there was more pity and reluctance in his expression.

Yang Yuyao suddenly remembered that he said "I prepared it specially for Yaoniang", and suddenly thought that he actually treated her very well.

But her temper will not disappear completely like this.

"I want more than just a few dishes."

"I will stay for a few more days, and teach Deng the method of cooking. For the rest of my life, even though I will enter the ancestral home, I know that Yaoniang can taste my cooking at any time... What can I ask for?"

"I don't believe you, when I don't know how ambitious you are? You deliberately want to partner with me in an industry."

"That's right. If a man stands in the world, he should have great ambitions and stand upright." Xue Bai said: "I can give you the future I want, so I agreed to marry."

"Fool." Yang Yuyao said: "You were deceived by Brother Nu, who called him a cockfighter and a meat loin knife. How can he give you a good future?"

As she said that, she took two steps forward, supported Xue Bai's waist, and coaxed him again with nice words.

"Although you are smart, you young man, after all, you are not deeply involved in the world. I don't know who really treats you well, so you fell into the den of tigers and wolves."

Xue Bai said: "I have lost my life experience, and there is a brand on the back of my neck. I am afraid that I will still be an official slave. It is also difficult to settle down. How could I have a choice at that time?"

"Come on, let me see."

Xue Bai sat down on the bearded stool, pulled back his jacket a little, and felt Yang Yuyao's fingers gently stroking the scar on his neck.

"Don't be afraid, even if there is an injury, it may not be a brand."

"But because of this, I dare not find out my true identity. Only the Right Prime Minister's Palace can protect me."

After finishing speaking, Xue Bai got up and walked towards the door.

"You," Yang Yuyao annoyed with his warmth still on her fingertips, "Are you not as powerful as the right prime minister's house when you are the wife of the Guo State?!"

Xue Bai has already opened the door and stepped over the threshold.

Yang Yuyao's anger hadn't completely dissipated, and at this moment, she felt even more like being teased. She was furious, her mood was up and down, and she couldn't calm down.

Angry in her heart, she mostly used methods to punish him.

"You stop for me!"

Xue Bai then stood in the courtyard and let the snow fall on him.

He turned around, still stubborn and unyielding, and only left her a poem——

"Huanjun's pearls shed tears, and I wish I could meet you when you were not married."

~~
Mingzhu glanced at the figure in the independent courtyard for a while, then returned to the skirt of a maidservant in front, and followed them into the boudoir.

There were many porcelain fragments on the ground, she cleaned it with a broom, peeping, Yang Yuyao was stroking her forehead and drinking.

Sensing someone peeping, Yang Yuyao turned her head and saw Mingzhu's delicate appearance and slim figure, beckoning her to come forward.

"Come here and talk to me."

"Miss, is there something bothering you?"

"How dare he disobey me..."

Mingzhu listened for a while, then cautiously stretched out her hand to beat Yang Yuyao's shoulders, remembering that Xue Bai had pleaded for her, she said in a low voice: "When a man sees a beautiful woman who is overwhelmed by the country, it is like a hungry ghost rushing to eat. With such dignity, it seems that he has no shortage of women. But he is attentive to his wife, which shows that he does not pay attention to sex, but to love."

She is good at blowing pillow wind, not all good things to say, only the last few words to touch the master's heart.

Yang Yuyao snorted coldly, still annoyed, and said, "He just values ​​power."

But when she recalled Xue Bai's poem at this time, she felt a little different, and told the maidservant: "He is still in the courtyard? Arrange a guest room for him."

The maidservants retreated, and Mingzhu stopped talking. She beat her shoulders and comforted Yang Yuyao.

"You press comfortably."

"The servant's house is for serving people."

Mingzhu shyly responded, and when Yang Yuyao saw her eyes, she bit her lip and said in a low voice, "My family... my family can actually serve your wife..."

~~
It was broad daylight when I awoke.

Yang Yuyao opened her eyes, caressing Mingzhu's blue hair lovingly.

She has already got what she got, and what she hasn't got still makes her brood.

"The son-in-law of the right minister's mansion? Heh."

After all, Yang Yuyao was not reconciled, she stood up, recruited a confidant maid and asked: "Is there any family that is not afraid of the flames of my brother's slaves, and can honestly listen to my arrangements?"

"It's not easy to find. Although the lady is noble and unparalleled, she is no more intimidating than the right minister who handles mundane affairs. If you want to find such a family, I'm afraid you have to..."

"Then go back up the caring little gift, I ask to see the imperial concubine."

"Yes."

After arranging this matter, she immediately wanted to call Xue Bai and give him a promise.After thinking about it, it's time to surprise him after the matter is done, so that he can be more grateful.
