"Mommy..." Yang Zhen shouted, her words choked with sobs: "I..."
"I know everything." Grandma came over and gently stroked Yang Zhen's head: "It's common for children to fight. Go home!"
Home? Yang Zhen chewed on the meaning of her mother's words. This is such a heart-warming word.
"Yeah." He responded, feeling much more at ease.
When she returned to her residence, Cai Si was already waiting there. She bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, the water is ready. Let's take a bath first."
Yang Zhen had a fight in the martial arts arena, and Qi Qi ended up lying on the ground. Her whole body was dirty and uncomfortable.
He thanked Caisi and took a towel to take a bath. At first, Caisi was arranged to wash it for him, but Yang Zhen refused from the first time, and he has been washing it himself since then.
After taking a shower, my whole body feels refreshed, and some messy things have gone away. Caisi brought the food again, and Yang Zhen was not polite and sat down to eat.
He wanted to ask how Yue'er was doing, but he saw that although Caisi was serving her wholeheartedly, her expression was a little indifferent, so she simply kept silent.
After eating, Caisi led the way. Seeing that it was heading towards Madam's yard, Yang Zhen didn't hesitate and just followed.
Although looking at grandma's attitude, the situation is not serious. But the lady is the owner of this manor, who knows what she will do with herself?
Yang Zhen thought again, just let nature take its course, and you will know the result soon.
The two of them arrived at Madam's director's hall, where they saw the lights brightly lit, as if a banquet was being held.
Yang Zhen was even more surprised when she was among them. There are a lot of people here tonight, not only Madam, Nanny, Yue'er and Caiyan Caiyun, but also Caisi, a few maids who often come in and out of the yard, and even two outsiders, Jia Sheng, and ...that bearded Zhao Qing!
These people were all sullen and silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.
What is this going to do? A three-party trial? Yang Zhen's heart beat.
Suddenly, Zhao Yue'er seemed like she couldn't hold it in any longer and started laughing. She pointed at Yang Zhen with joy and shouted: "Little Shitou, everyone is waiting for you to tell a story!"
Immediately, Mammy, Caiyan and others also laughed, and even the madam also had a smile on her face. The hall suddenly became lively.
Even Zhao Qing also twitched his lips.
These people put on such a big show to scare me, and actually asked me to...tell a story?
Yang Zhen was stunned on the spot for a moment.
…
An hour ago, Ziqiangyuan
This is the courtyard where Madam takes a rest after practicing. It is very close to the martial arts field. The courtyard is filled with purple roses, a first-class spiritual herb that has a calming effect, so the small courtyard is named Purple Rose Garden.
At this time, in the innermost wing, Zhao Yue'er was lying on the bed of carved fragrant wood, covered with a thin quilt embroidered with purple roses, and her big black eyes were staring at her mother-in-law.
No trace of injury could be seen on her face, but her eyebrows were furrowed on her small face, looking pitiful:
"Auntie, I can't sleep..."
"Auntie, you, can you drive away pebbles?"
"Auntie, don't be angry..."
Her mother-in-law was still angry, and she was thinking about the slap just now, and she felt irritated that she had ruined the matter.
"Auntie, I also want to hear Xiao Shitou talk about "Journey to the West"! Do you think the Five Elements Mountain will collapse after Tang Monk finishes reciting the sutra?"
"You..." Auntie suddenly became furious: "You are a spineless person who only knows how to listen to stories. He beat you like this, aren't you angry?"
"I was angry just now, but I'm not angry anymore." Zhao Yue'er said timidly: "I want Xiao Shitou to tell me a story. If he tells a story, I will forgive him."
After finishing her practice, grandma heard these conversations between mother and daughter when she entered Ziqiang Courtyard.
Although she was practicing, with her spiritual consciousness, she could vaguely understand what happened not long ago.
She walked over and pinched Yue'er's nose: "Well, it's completely healed. Nothing happened, my little baby!"
Then, he flicked her forehead with a smile, causing the little girl to roll her eyes in protest.
Mammy put her hands on both sides of Yue'er's head and kneaded it gently: "Little Yue'er, please sleep for a while."
With her gentle caress, Yue'er quickly fell asleep.
Grandma then stood up straight, turned her head and looked at Madam, her expression gradually became serious:
"Wan'er, what's going on? Tell me."
The lady was still angry and told the story again.
"So, you just slapped him?" Grandma's voice became more severe: "Wan'er, can't you tell, you are so majestic!"
"I..." the lady defended: "I was a little impulsive just now. At that time, when I saw Yue'er bleeding like that, I was really angry!"
"Isn't it just children fighting? Isn't that what it is!" Mammy's voice suddenly became louder: "Then Zhao Qing and your husband grew up together. They are like brothers. You usually have to call uncle when you meet... That's how you are Humiliate him!"
"Mommy, I, I was impulsive just now, I, I was wrong."
Seeing that Madam admitted her mistake, Mammy's attitude softened: "As long as you know you were wrong, you can go and apologize to Zhao Qing later, do you hear me?"
"This..." Madam said, "I have just taken over the affairs of the house, so if I go to apologize to him, won't it be looked down upon?"
"Wan'er," Mammy said earnestly: "I know you want to take the county city into your own hands, but you must also pay attention to the method. Two days ago, you passed the accounts of the major stores in the county city through Jia Sheng. Take care of them all, this is a good job! You must establish your authority when you should, but establishing authority indiscriminately will only make people laugh! What's more, this Zhao Qing is still on your side. If you do this, won't you let others Is he disgraced in the house?"
The madam figured it out and nodded: "Mommy, I listen to you."
"Okay, Zhao Qing will take care of things later. Let me ask you again, what are you going to do with Xiao Shitou?"
"I, I originally planned to drive him to the medicine garden to be with his companion. I also don't recognize this adopted son and give it to others. But now..."
"Does it feel inappropriate now?"
"Um."
"Are you afraid that I will object?" Nanny sneered: "Wan'er, do you know what I'm most worried about?"
"What I'm most worried about is that you dote on Yue'er too much. If you do this and don't let her suffer any minor injuries or pains, what will happen to her? She will turn into grass in a flower pot!"
"Wan'er, do the math for yourself. From childhood to now, how many times has Yue'er been injured and how many times has she bled?"
"three times."
"Yes, three times." Mammy counted on her fingers: "The first time, when Yue'er was only two years old, she accidentally fell and bruised her skin while crossing the door. You replaced all the maids and wives she had at that time; The second time was this spring, when you were playing with Yinger and a bunch of girls and boys, and they scratched your face. You made a big fuss, and finally brought Yuer to this county. Now, is this the third time? "
"Um."
"Yes, until I was ten years old, I was injured only three times in total. Wan'er, do you want me to praise you for taking care of Yue'er well?"
The madam was a little embarrassed by what she said. She murmured and explained: "Mom, you also know that Yue'er is not only my lifeblood, but also the hope for the rise of the Zhao family! I'm afraid, if something happens to Yue'er I'm afraid it won't be enough even if I stay with you for this life!"
After the lady finished speaking, her grievances seemed to have found an outlet, and her eye circles were red.
"Wan'er, if you care, you will be confused. I know Yue'er is very important to you and to the Zhao family. It has been hundreds of years since the Zhao family has produced such a genius with a single spiritual root. Don't talk about you, even if It's you two ancestors who are also afraid of hurting her in the slightest. Your father-in-law went to the sect to find me and asked me to be Yue'er's nanny, so that I could watch Yue'er grow up."
"But over the years, you have taken her too seriously. Just by fighting with a few children in the old house, you have made her have no friends of the same age. Now that you have found this Yang Zhen, she has not yet adopted her adopted son. , you are driving people away again. This may not be a good thing for Yue'er."
"Yue'er will become a golden elixir or even a Yuanying in the future, but if you look at the history of the Yunxiao Sect, which golden elixir and Yuanying has grown up smoothly? Which one has not been fought out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood? In the world of immortal cultivation It has never been a pure land, not the comfortable life you lived in the Zhao family. If you are too protective of her now, how will she be able to fly in the future?"
"Look at the fight between Yue'er and Xiao Shitou today. When she had the upper hand, she didn't know how to protect herself. She fell to the ground after being beaten until her nose bleeds. She only cried and ignored her opponent who was restrained. Now this It doesn’t matter if she is at home, but if she were outside, such a mistake would be enough to kill her! So, you are harming her!"
"Mammy, what should I do?" The lady raised a teary face and looked at Mammy.
"Those boys in the old house are petty and jealous of Yue'er, so when you wanted to bring Yue'er to the county town, I supported you. But now this little stone, you said yourself that he is steady and smart, and then look at him fighting , and has the brute strength to not admit defeat. For such a person, you should let him be Yue'er's whetstone. From now on, let them fight every day, and I will reward whoever wins!"
Mammy's words finally convinced the madam, and invisibly elevated Yang Zhen's status, making him Zhao Yue'er's only friend of the same age in this manor.
…
Yang Zhen didn't know about the conversation between her grandma and her wife an hour ago, nor did she know that her childlike grandma had played such a trick to scare him. However, looking at everyone's high spirits, he also knew that this matter should be over, and he felt happy, and the story immediately started:
"Tang Monk stepped forward and gently peeled off the six golden characters... Hearing a loud sound, the ground cracked and the mountain collapsed, and the monkey jumped out of the stone..."
As the story was told, Jia Sheng, Caisi and others who heard the story for the first time all applauded. Even Zhao Qing, who was a little unnatural at first, gradually became fascinated by it and couldn't help but applaud.
He was invited here by Mammy and Madam.
When the two of them arrived in the courtyard of his residence, the guy was drunk, lying on the bed with his breasts exposed, looking drunk. Grandma stood outside the door and scolded him, telling him to get dressed and get out.
When he came out, he was shocked to see his wife kneeling on the ground. This was the most solemn way for Xu Guo to express his apology.
He was an open-minded person, although the slap from his wife made him almost ashamed, but now seeing his wife like this, his resentment disappeared by nine out of ten.
Later, I came here with the two of them.
Only then did he realize that this little companion story actually told such a story, and he looked at Yang Zhen with a little more attention.
"But he said that after the monk deceived Monk Tang into getting his cassock, he fell in love with it more and more, and actually wanted to murder Monk Tang and the two of them. If you want to know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter."
Yang Zhen left a suspense with a smile, and ended today's story amidst Zhao Yue'er's protest again!
