Second-hand lady

Chapter 69

Wen Liang originally wanted to stay in Pingjin City until March in Yangchun, but a secret decree from the emperor ordered him to go back.So after the Flower Festival, Wen Liang could only obediently bid farewell to the Tan family and return to Beijing.

Although Wen Liang is the cousin of the Tan family, because of the old lady's relationship, his status in the Tan family is somewhat more valuable than the young master of the Tan family.So when he left, almost all of the Tan Mansion was dispatched to see him off. The salute alone was two cars more than when they came, and it was unknown how many things were stuffed in the Tan Mansion's warehouse.

On the day of leaving, Wen Liang was surrounded by several uncles, talking about men, the old lady dragged Ru Cuixu and talked a lot, telling her how to take care of her body so that she would have a baby in the future, and the youngest Wen Yanping At this time, she was hugged by a little lady who was as short as her and refused to let her go.

"Brother Yanping is not leaving, Jixi wants to play with brother Yanping, and Xiaohua hasn't given birth to a little squirrel yet!!" Tan Jixi hugged Wen Yanping tightly, howled dryly with his mouth open, and blushed.

Wen Yanping was also a little sad. Although she didn't have many days in the Tan family, she sincerely loved this little devil king as her younger brother. Knowing that he was weak and often locked up in the house, she played with him when she was free. Fang makes children like to play with her very much.Now that I am leaving, I find that I am also very reluctant to let go of this child.

"I'll write you a letter..." Wen Yanping could only comfort him in this way.

"I don't, I don't! I don't want brother Yanping to leave! If brother Yanping is gone, no one will play with me!!" The child continued to howl, while not forgetting to offend someone. "You don't know as many characters as I do now, so you definitely don't know how to write letters!"

"Nonsense, I can write, and I have learned a lot of characters now." Wen Yanping retorted with a dark face.

"Jixi, stop making trouble..." The third aunt felt sorry for her son but also disliked his son's behavior of being so close to Wen Yanping.In fact, after hearing about this little girl's experience, she also felt sorry for her, but when she found out that her son was too close to her, and with hints from her sister-in-law, she was really afraid that Wen Yanping would become her daughter-in-law in the future.It's not that she is prejudiced, it's just that Wen Yanping's ordinary appearance and being older than his son are not suitable for him at all.If Wen Yanping was a genuine boy, she would be happy to see them get so close.However, seeing that her son whole-heartedly thinks that Wen Yanping is a boy, the third aunt just let her son misunderstand her, and secretly told the maid not to talk too much, it is best to trick her son into getting married and having children Only then is it safe.

Seeing the children crying so much, the female family members of the Tan family came over to persuade them.It's okay not to persuade, after such persuasion, the child who turned out to be just howling really cried tears all over his face at the moment, that beautiful face was crying, which made the women who are overflowing with maternal love feel distressed.

Wen Yanping felt that the little girl was really worrying, so in the end he could only stretch out his hands to hug him and give him a firm hand. The little boy put his arms around her neck, put his two chubby legs around her waist, and put his small face on her body. Crying in the nest, the little girl who was already thin and thin was almost dodged by him, but he still bent down to support her quickly.

This scene naturally made everyone in the Tan family look at it, and they couldn't laugh or cry, the little dwarf hugged the little dwarf, why is this scene so funny?
"Jixi, you are a cousin, but elders, you can't act so foolishly. I am going back to Beijing with my parents, and I will come back to see you in the future. Otherwise, you can visit me. I heard that the capital is very interesting. " Hearing the child's cry weakened, Wen Yanping said again: "But you have to take good care of your body, stay healthy, and you can go wherever you want to play in the future. When you go to the capital, I will take you there to play All over the capital, no one will fall..."

"Really, really?" the child asked choked up.

"Really." Wen Yanping wiped his face with a handkerchief with difficulty, then threw the handkerchief to the painting grate with some disgust, and said with a smile: "I also said that I am not crying, but you are a cousin, an elder, you can't always be like this Crying is bad for your health."

This sentence really made the child cry unhappily.

The adults over there had already bid farewell, and were waiting for the two little ones to say goodbye. Seeing that the little one was almost coaxed by his daughter, Wen Liang also came over, touched the little Zhengtai's head, and said with a smile: "Jixi, wait until you recover. , ask your father to take you to the capital, and my cousin will take you there to play."

Wen Liang's reputation has always been guaranteed, the child finally obeyed, and nodded with tears in his eyes.Wen Liang was satisfied, and was about to say something, when a head poked out from the side, and someone muttered softly: "It turns out that Master Wen cried like this when he was a child..." He couldn't help but his face was full of black lines, and someone's paw Grab it, and then turn around to face everyone in the Tan family.

"Grandmother, uncles, aunts, and cousins, Zixiu is gone, and I will come back to see you when I have time." Wen Zixiu said reluctantly.

Seeing that the sky was getting brighter and brighter, the time would be lost if he didn't leave, the uncles stopped talking and nodded to him, but the old lady's face was full of sadness, and the aunts had to go to comfort the old lady.

Looking back again, Wen Liang took Ru Cui and Wen Yanping into the carriage, then lifted the curtains, and waved to the people in front of the Tan Mansion.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and soon left Pingjin City.

Seeing the little girl's downcast look, Wen Liang patted her on the head and said: "There is no feast that never ends, see you later."

The little girl nodded in disappointment, then glanced at Miss Rucui who was holding up the curtain of the car to see the scenery along the way outside, and whispered to Wen Liang: "Father, why don't you and mother give me a little brother." Just after finishing speaking, Then she found that Wen Liang's expression froze for a moment, although it was subtle, but she always read people's faces, so she couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

After a long while, Wen Liang smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, you will know about this in the future."

Wen Yanping was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what could be so rare in this world that this overly smart man, after she knew that Rucui had hurt her body to save him and couldn't bear children, she got close to her current cheap mother again A little bit, especially when Tsing Yi told her in private that the reason why they went to Pingjin to celebrate the New Year this time was because the rumors about Ruhu in Beijing were too hurtful, the little girl frowned upon hearing it, and decided now who would dare to laugh at this matter in the future Mother, she beat him to death.

After Wen Liang knew the little girl's cruel thoughts, he was a little worried. With such cruelty, will he really be able to find her husband's family in the future?Which man dares to marry her?
The first adopted daughter was too cruel, Wen Liang couldn't help thinking whether to adopt a few more lovely adopted sons and daughters. If they are well educated, they will be able to protect this cruel girl in the future.

Two days later, when they passed Ronghua Temple, Wen Liang asked to stop the car, and took the little girl to the temple to burn incense for her dead parents.When her parents were killed, the robbers burned her body and even her own house. There was no place to put it in the ground, and naturally there was no cemetery. The people of the city performed several religious ceremonies.

After burning incense, they continued on their way, but the little girl was depressed for several days, and did not become happy until she was gradually approaching the capital.

It was freezing cold when I left Beijing, but it was already spring when I came back.

At the end of February, they finally returned to the capital.

It was evening when we returned to the capital, and everyone felt physically and mentally exhausted after half a month's journey.

Early the next morning, Wen Liang went to court.As soon as they arrived at the mansion last night, people from the palace came back, bringing the emperor's order, and clearly told someone that they must go to the court tomorrow to work, and they were not allowed to find any reason to be lazy.The eunuch who came to pass the message was watching, even if Wen Liang had any thoughts, he could only pinch his nose and swallow them.

Wen Liang was not around, so Ru Cui took Wen Yanping to familiarize himself with the Grand Master's Mansion.Although Wen Yanping looks like a boy when he wears boy's clothes, he is actually a girl, and there are some things to teach her. What makes Rucui difficult is that the little girl obviously feels that being a boy feels good about herself, and she is rejected by others. People are called "Young Master" too much, and they don't think of themselves as a girl at all, and the eight-year-old child has already known the matter, and has his own opinions, insisting that he is a boy, coupled with gentleness and connivance, such as Cui Even if you want to correct it, you can't correct it.

After breakfast, Ru Cui called all the stewards and servants of the mansion over to let them recognize the new master.

"This is the child I and your adults recognize, and he will be the young master of this mansion from now on, you are so good to take care of him." Rucui said flatly.

The stewards in the mansion are all appointed by Wen Liang, needless to say about their loyalty to Wen Liang, since the wife has spoken, they are all called young masters, only Yu Sheng, Yu Rong, Yu Zhi and other former maids of the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion are anxious.

Yusheng couldn't believe it, the third young master just went to Pingjin for a year, but he brought back a sallow and emaciated child, and even recognized him as his adopted son, announcing him as the young master of the mansion, what does this mean?Yusheng's loyalty to Wen Liang is unquestionable, but sometimes his mind is a little heavier. At this time, there is a young master suddenly, and he has already made bad thoughts in his heart. Could it be that the third young master really doesn't plan to have a child, so he went to recognize a child Come back to inherit his mantle in the future?

Yu Sheng, who didn't know whether this "young master" was the other "young master", was really anxious. She had no choice but to grit her teeth and decided to send a message back to the Zhen Guogong's mansion, so that the old Zhen Guogong could persuade him to do so. You can't let the third young master be fascinated and die!
Not to mention how anxious Yusheng was, after the nurse in charge and the maid had retreated, Rucui took the little girl to her study, checked her face, and saw that her face was a little bad, and asked with concern: " What's wrong?"

After raising her for two months, the little girl finally got a little fleshy, and her complexion began to turn red, but compared to those girls from rich and noble families, her skin is not clear and delicate enough, so she needs to be raised in the future.What's strange is that the little girl's sallow appearance suits her temperament very well, making people think that she is a very smart and heroic boy at first glance, so when he was introduced as "Young Master" earlier, no one recognized him. Come out.

Wen Yanping shook his head, seeing Rucui's concern, he put his small body into her arms, felt her soft touch, and whispered: "I was just shocked, so it turns out that father...is so powerful." Until this time Only then did she deeply understand how honorable Wen Liang, the favorite minister of the emperor, was in the Great Chu, and she was someone she had never seen in her entire life before.

Ru Cui quickly understood what she meant, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Wen is indeed very powerful, and those who underestimate him will end badly." She had a proud expression on her face.

Wen Yanping secretly observed her expression. These days, she found that this woman is a very simple person, so simple that sometimes it makes people vomit blood. It is completely opposite to her thoughtful, but she likes it very much.Thinking of what the maids in the mansion were talking about when they were sleeping last night, although they spoke quietly, they heard every word, and I couldn't help admiring her good attitude, from a maid to an official wife, It's not easy for her either.However, she was more envious of Wen Liang's affection for her, which was very sincere, which made her feel that the man was not so unbearable.

Rucui smiled and hugged her, feeling that it would be nice to have a daughter.

Just when Rucui took her daughter to deal with the affairs that had accumulated in the mansion for several months, a servant came to report that the father-in-law from the palace had come to the mansion.
