Chapter 52 Pain and Pleasure

For a moment, both Feng Shi and He Shi laughed, and the giggling laughter spread outside, and Han Jiankai shook his head helplessly.

Outside the screen, the leg of lamb sent by the Duke's Mansion was placed on the charcoal fire, half of the delicious meat on the outside had been cut off, Han Jian ordered the people to turn the leg of lamb over and slowly roast it again.

Hearing the chatter and laughter inside, Han Qian's mouth was full of greasy food, and she still didn't forget to turn her head and ask her father: "Daddy, why is the sister-in-law over there reluctant to part with the eldest brother?"

Han Entropy frowned immediately, turned his head and glanced at the marble screen with a sandalwood frame that separated the inside and outside, and said helplessly: "Father doesn't know, you can ask your mother later."

Fortunately, Han Jun ran out from inside. Seeing how delicious the mutton was for his little aunt, he acted like a baby to his grandfather: "Grandpa, grandpa! I want to eat mutton too!"

The Han family has always been strict with boys. Seeing this, Han Jianyuan took the dagger at hand and handed it over without waiting for his father to speak: "If you want to eat meat, cut it yourself."

"Ah?" Han Jun's eyes widened in surprise, "I'm afraid I'll cut my hand..."

Han Jianyuan immediately frowned and reprimanded: "Idiot! How can a man not know how to use a knife?"

"But... mother said..." Han Jun looked at the sharp dagger timidly, not daring to take it.

Han Jianshi reached out to take the dagger, and said with a smile, "Brother, children should be taught slowly. How can there be a reason to eat a fat man in one breath?" Then, he got up and took Han Jun's hand, and put the handle of the dagger into his In the palm of his hand, he held Han Jun's hand with his own, and said softly, "Jun'er, uncle taught you how to use a knife, okay?"

"Okay." Han Jun bit his lower lip nervously.

Han Jianshi held Han Jun's hand to cut the mutton, then cut the cut mutton into small pieces, and taught him to use the tip of the knife to eat the mutton.Han Jun kept fighting with his nervous little hands all the time, while Han Jianyuan watched coldly, his face turned cold again.

"Okay! Don't be so cold, it looks like someone owes you eight hundred hangs!" Han Entropy squinted at his eldest son, then at his grandson who was like a little girl, and sighed: "Son should not be pampered by nature. From tomorrow, let Jun'er follow me."

"Father is busy with general affairs, how can I have time to take care of him..." Han Jianyuan said hurriedly.

Han Entropy waved his hand and interrupted his son's words: "Can't you just share some more official duties for me? It takes ten years to raise trees, and a hundred years to educate people. Jun'er is my eldest grandson. Whether he succeeds or not is related to the future of our family. .”

"Father taught me that." Han Jianyuan hurriedly bowed in response.

Han Jun, who was gradually enjoying cutting roast lamb with his third uncle, didn't know that his future life was handed over to his father.

In the evening, the first thing Zhou did when he came back was to find his son.The mother-in-law on duty actually replied that the young master was left with the eldest princess by Lord Hou.

The eldest princess has never cared much about her grandchildren. From Zhou's point of view, the eldest princess only has eyes for her precious daughter, and no one but Han Qian can fall into her eyes. Although Han Jun is the eldest son of the eldest son, the eldest princess Never cared.Therefore, after hearing this, Mrs. Zhou felt very strange, and asked, "Why?"

"Because Lord Hou said so, the eldest and young masters will follow him from now on."

"What?" Zhou was stunned immediately, "Follow him? What does following him mean? Is Hou Ye going to educate Jun'er?"

"That should be the meaning. Lord Hou also said that all the servants here don't have to follow. He only ordered to pack up the books and clothes of the young master and send them over. He said that a man should learn to be self-reliant from an early age. If he is spoiled, he will only be born." Dude, it will be difficult to become a big weapon in the future..."

At least Zhou managed not to swear.

Mrs. Zhou turned around twice, still stomping her feet anxiously: "Jun'er is only five years old! There is no one around to serve him, how can he live? He can't even eat!"

That old woman is used to winking, and now seeing Zhou's anxious eye circles turning red, she hastily persuaded: "This... Grandma Mingjian, Master Hou speaks, even our uncle dare not say more!"

"Oh! That's right, I'm not at home all day, and I made these things!" Mrs. Zhou stamped her feet anxiously, turned and went into the house.

The mother-in-law didn't dare to say anything, she just slipped quietly to a corner under the eaves and hid.

Han Jianyuan came back after dinner. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Zhou sitting under the lamp wiping tears. He frowned and asked, "What's the matter? After returning to her mother's house, she cried and wiped her tears. Is there any trouble?"

Seeing the slightly drunk Han Jianyuan, Mrs. Zhou immediately stepped forward to hold his arm, and begged, "Master, I know that I dote on children too much, but Jun'er is my fate!"

Han Jianyuan frowned and took Zhou's hand away from his arm, and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"Master! Please go and tell Lord Hou, let Jun'er move back, okay? My concubine promises to raise him strictly and make him diligent in horseback riding and archery, okay?! I will watch it every day." If I don’t see him, my heart will be uneasy for a day!” Crying, Zhou hugged Han Jianyuan’s arm and begged.

"You are so confused." Han Jianyuan waved Zhou's hand away impatiently, stood up suddenly, and said in a cold voice: "Could it be that Jun'er is not your son if he lives with his father? Or, Jun'er is only your son? You are the only one in this world who really loves him? Everyone else is harming him? He follows his father and is raised by him himself. What is uneasy in your heart? Or are you just thinking about it? Selfishness?!"

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly explained: "I don't mean that by being a concubine. Jun'er is still young... at least she needs to be served by a maid..."

Han Jianyuan frowned even more when he heard this, and asked displeasedly: "Do you know that because of your excessive doting, Jun'er has no courage at all? If the eldest grandson of my Han family is as timid as a mouse in the future I, Han Jianyuan, can hardly meet my ancestors!"

"He's only five years old!" Seeing Han Jianyuan's cold expression, Mrs. Zhou's heart was also icy, "If the master is not satisfied with the concubine, why just tell me directly, why target the child?"

"You are so unreasonable!" Han Jianyuan glanced at Zhou as if looking at a stranger, then turned and left.

"..." Mrs. Zhou looked at Han Jianyuan's back, and was stunned for a while, not knowing what to do.

Zhou Shi's confidant maid, Cui'er, took a handkerchief and went up to wipe Zhou Shi's tears, and persuaded in a low voice: "Grandma, there is no rush for this matter, we have to find a way slowly."

"I didn't expect him to be so heartless." Zhou sneered bitterly.

"I can't blame the uncle for this matter, maybe it's the eldest princess's intention?" Tweety said in a low voice.

"You're right. She has always disliked me, and now that she has a second wife, she doesn't like me even more." Zhou took the veil angrily and wiped the tears on her face, then patted the veil again. On the kang table at hand, "Now there is only a letter of divorce to drive me out of the house!"
