At noon the next day, Wang Guangli sent a servant over.
Zhu Yuanyu took the letter, glanced at it, and said to the boy: "I understand. You go back and tell your uncle. I will go to him for tea tomorrow."
The boy bowed and left.
Zhu Yuanyu moved his shoulders. He had been sleeping in the study last night and was a little uncomfortable. His muscles were a little stiff.
While doing chest enlargement exercises, he walked to the pavilion in the garden and sat down.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the other side of the garden.
He frowned and cast his gaze dissatisfied.
"Master, I'll go over and see what's going on." Li Zhuangzhuang shouted angrily.
"No need, people are already here." Zhu Yuanyu said while looking at the people approaching.
Zhu's son died, his wife disappeared, and there was famine in the family. So she made the decision, sold all her property, and took her daughter, her son-in-law, and her granddaughter to live with relatives.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at my hometown, I realized that he had already gone to Beijing. After thinking about it again and again, I finally decided to follow him there.
Needless to say, the journey was bitter. After many twists and turns, the family arrived in front of the Zhu Mansion, but they were almost beaten away by slaves as beggars. If Zhu Dafu hadn't happened to go out to do business, Mrs. Zhu saw it with her sharp eyes and shouted Zhu Dafu's nickname. I'm afraid this would have happened. The whole family now doesn't know where to stay in the capital.
Mrs. Zhu loved Zhu Dafu very much when she was young. When Zhu Dafu saw her and her whole family coming to seek refuge, he couldn't refuse immediately, so he had to arrange for them to live there first, and then find ways to make a living for them in the future.
Zhu Yuanyu has been very busy these days, so he only met this family today.
He was a little dissatisfied when he saw completely unknown people wandering around and making noisy noises in his garden, so he asked Li Zhuangzhuang, "Who are they?"
Li Zhuangzhuang scratched his head and finally remembered that his young master had not met these nominal relatives. He smiled and said: "Young master, they are relatives who came from the countryside a few days ago. In total, they should be ...It should be your great-aunt’s family!”
"Oh——" It seems that he is here to catch the autumn wind.
Zhu Yuanyu smiled and ignored him.
But he didn't want to ignore them, but they didn't want to let him go.
I went out to wander in the garden today, and the two women who came to admire the flowers were a mother and daughter. One is Zhu's daughter Guo Hua'er, and the other is Guo Hua'er's daughter Zhu Rumei. The mother and daughter make exclamations from time to time. If Zhu Yuanyu hadn't been familiar with the layout of the garden, he would have thought that there was a new addition. What a magical thing.
"Eh? Who are you?" Zhu Rumei asked innocently when she saw Zhu Yuanyu.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't respond to her.
Zhu Rumei lowered her eyelids and rolled her eyes. At this time, Zhu Yuanyu had already stood up. She was not as tall as him, so she squinted upwards, her eyes widened slightly as a habit, and she said softly: "Are you Brother Zhu?" ?I am your cousin, my name is Zhu Rumei." After saying that, she lowered her head shyly, making her expression unclear.
Brother Pig? Who are you calling Brother Pig? Zhu Yuanyu really wanted to glue her mouth shut.
"Oh, this must be my eldest cousin! He's so handsome, I heard he's not married yet?"
Guo Hua'er found that her daughter had disappeared in a blink of an eye. She turned around and saw that she was standing in the pavilion talking to a man. She quietly looked at it, and combined with the information she had gathered in the past few days, she quickly came to the conclusion that the young man was the young master of the Zhu family, the future head of the Zhu family.
Immediately she was filled with joy and hurriedly walked over. The sound arrived before anyone arrived.
Zhu Yuanyu saw the middle-aged woman with heavy makeup rushing towards him, and was so frightened that he quickly stepped back to distance himself, while Li Zhuangzhuang also stepped in front of him like a heavenly soldier.
"Oh, what are you doing!" Guo Hua'er glared at Li Zhuangzhuang, and her originally charming expression immediately turned into a condescending one.
After being bullied by a slave at the gate of Zhu's Mansion, she has learned that the first thing to do in front of a slave is to show off her own momentum, so that she can overwhelm the slave she thinks deserves to die. She is doing the same now. She glanced at Li Zhuangzhuang contemptuously and ordered: "Go away! Don't stop me from reminiscing with my cousin! Can't you understand human language?!"
She was very arrogant, but Li Zhuangzhuang was not inferior to her. She was already tall and tall, but now she raised her chin, pointed her nostrils at Guo Hua'er, and then blew out a strong breath from her nostrils. , snorted.
Guo Hua'er didn't expect that her tried-and-tested methods over the past few days would actually fail in front of Li Zhuangzhuang. This made her feel incredible and annoyed. She thought Li Zhuangzhuang's behavior had embarrassed her, especially in front of Zhu Yuanyu. So she raised her hand and was about to hit Li Zhuangzhuang.
As soon as he raised his hand, he was pulled by Zhu Rumei on the side.
"Mom, don't be rude." Zhu Rumei whispered, and then smiled apologetically at Zhu Yuanyu.
Guo Hua'er also hoped that her daughter would find a rich husband so that she could drink spicy food with him, so she was very willing to obey her daughter's wishes. So she put down her hand and gave Li Zhuangzhuang a hard look in anger, thinking to herself There will be a long time to come, and there will definitely be an opportunity to teach him a lesson.
Zhu Yuanyu also smiled, and took back the anger hidden in her hands. If Guo Hua'er had really hit her just now, her hand would have been broken before she touched Li Zhuangzhuang.
Zhu Yuanyu is a very defensive person. He is the only one who can bully his people, and others don't even think about it! He remembered everything Guo Hua'er said and did just now, and he would definitely reciprocate in the future.
He has never regarded Li Zhuangzhuang as a servant, but as a friend. Can anyone bully and scold his friend? She didn't even look at whose territory she was on, she was such a blind and blind stupid woman!
"The scenery in the garden is quite good. You two can enjoy it slowly. I'll leave first if I have something else to do." Zhu Yuanyu called Li Zhuangzhuang and left without looking back.
"Hey cousin!" Guo Hua'er wanted to stop him, but found that he was walking very fast and disappeared after a while. He could only watch helplessly, with disappointment on his face.
Zhu Rumei's face was also full of disappointment. After she lost sight of Zhu Yuanyu, she lowered her head and squinted at Guo Hua'er. It was this reckless and stupid woman who ruined her plan. What was originally a good encounter turned out to be so embarrassing.
"Mom, can't you talk properly? Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner. Is it worth it to almost offend Brother Zhu for a slave? Think about it for yourself. I'm tired. Let's go back to the room first." After saying this, Zhu Ru Mei left Guo Hua'er alone and returned to the small courtyard where the family lived.
Guo Hua'er came back to her senses and let out a sigh, not knowing who she was scolding, "What the hell!"
Then he left cursing.
The beautiful garden has returned to its former peace.
