Several servants were about to get out of the way, but Butler Kong said coldly: "Don't forget who is in charge of this Tantai Mansion. If you can restrain the young master, not only will the young lady not blame him, but you will be rewarded heavily."
Upon hearing what Butler Kong said, the attitudes of the several servants immediately became firm.
Tantai Wenwang roared: "I'm so angry, so angry!"
The situation changed a bit quickly. Originally, he was going to visit a brothel, but now Tantai Wenwang was about to be kidnapped.
Xie Fu looked at Butler Kong with a stern look on his face. If a butler dared to attack his master, he should have received Tantai Heqing's tacit warning in advance. Tantai Wenwang might not be able to harden tonight.
Xie Fu moved his eyes to Tantai Wenwang, who was like a mad dog, and said: "Sir, please calm down first."
Tantai Wenwang was so angry that he barked at anyone he saw: "Even you want to go against me."
Xie Fu leaned into Tantai Wenwang's ear and whispered: "Sir, you go back to the study first. I have a way to convince Butler Kong."
Hearing this, Tantai Wenwang looked at Fu Xie in surprise, but soon became full of doubts. As a young master, I can't do anything, so what can you, a pretty boy with a humble status, do?
Seeing this, Fu Xie whispered again: "Sir, if you don't want to miss the poetry competition in Qin Tower tonight, let me give it a try."
Tantai Wenwang looked at Butler Kong's determination to confront him. Since he had no choice, he might as well let him give it a try. He nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you first." Then he returned to the study.
Seeing Tantai Wenwang retreating despite the difficulties, Butler Kong was secretly relieved. In fact, he didn't want to come to this point.
After Young Master Tantai left, Xie Fu came up and said to Butler Kong, "Old Butler, I persuaded Young Master to go back."
When the young master was about to hit him just now, the pretty boy rushed over to stop him, which made Butler Kong have a good impression of him. Moreover, the pretty boy looked gentle and gentle, which was completely opposite to the violent and perverse young master. He asked curiously: "What did you do with him just now?" What did the young master say?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "I told the young master, old housekeeper, you will not restrict his freedom."
Butler Kong said in surprise: "Who said that? I have already made up my mind. Before the young lady comes back, the young master can't even think of stepping out of this yard. He can just stay in the study and read and write."
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Old housekeeper, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Butler Kong nodded, told several servants to keep an eye on the courtyard door, and then moved aside with Xie Fu.
"Don't know what to call me yet?"
The lady usually keeps the pretty boy in a deep courtyard, and rarely comes into contact with Butler Kong. I really don’t know what Fu Xie’s name is.
Xie Fu responded: "My surname is Xie and my last name is Fu."
I don't know whether it was for Tantai Heqing's sake or because of his good impression of Xie Fu for helping him just now, but Butler Kong called him politely: "Mr. Xie, what do you mean by what you just said?"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "I came here specifically to get close to the young master, under the secret instruction of the young lady."
Butler Kong was surprised when he heard this, "Ah, did you come to the young master under the instruction of the young lady?"
Xie Fu nodded.
"What's going on, Mr. Xie, can you explain it clearly?"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "The young master is arrogant and domineering and does not obey restraints. The young lady is very distressed by this, but there is nothing she can do about it..."
Before Xie Fu finished speaking, Butler Kong nodded sharply and interrupted: "Yes, yes, the lady is busy taking care of business..."
Xie Fu raised his hand and signaled Butler Kong not to interrupt him, and continued: "In order to restrain the young master and let him concentrate on reading and writing, the lady specially asked me to get close to the young master. The purpose is to enable me to enlighten the young master and let him know that studying is good. , reading is valuable and guides him to the right path.”
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Old housekeeper, don't you believe me?"
Butler Kong said hurriedly: "No, since the young lady arranged for you to get close to the young master, there is a certain reason. However, the young master is really naughty. Even the young lady can't do anything to him. The gentlemen who came to teach him how to read were driven away one after another. .”
Xie Fu smiled lightly and said: "I have already seen the temper of the young master."
Seeing Mr. Xie's confident look, Butler Kong asked, "What's Mr. Xie's trick?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "There is no clever trick, just take the young master to visit the brothel."
When Butler Kong heard this, he exclaimed, "What! Let the young master go to a brothel. The lady is most angry that the young master spends all day visiting the brothel."
Xie Fu said: "Steward Kong, Miss is not angry with the young master for visiting the brothel, but angry with the young master that he puts all his thoughts on the brothel and has no intention of reading or writing."
Butler Kong blurted out and asked, "What's the difference?"
"Of course it's different. If you regard visiting a brothel as a pastime, it's an elegant thing. I wonder which famous person doesn't visit a brothel. Besides, the ladies of the brothel are also very talented. You can also learn from each other by getting along with the ladies of the brothel. .”
Butler Kong shook his head: "Mr. Xie, your words are really unconvincing." He then added: "And this matter, the lady has never mentioned it to me." It seems that he has doubted Mr. Xie's words. .
"I don't know why the young lady didn't tell the old housekeeper about you. Maybe the young lady was afraid that the young master would see the flaw, so she even hid it from you. Besides, whether this is true or not, the young lady will know when she comes back and asks. How can you dig your own grave?"
There is some truth in what he said. Butler Kong stared at Mr. Xie for a while, feeling that this pretty boy shouldn't be so bold. In the end, he shook his head and said, "Master Xie, if you can't come up with more powerful proof, I won't believe you."
Xie Fu smiled: "Well, in order to prove myself a little bit, I will make a painting first."
Butler Kong asked in surprise: "Painting?"
The two moved.
After a while, Xie Fu painted a painting in front of Butler Kong. He was a master of painting, and the flowing water made Butler Kong stunned. This painting alone was enough to prove Xie Fu's true talent and learning.
How could Butler Kong not be a housekeeper in Tantai Mansion without some experience? He couldn't help but said: "Mr. Xie, your painting skills are much better than those of the gentlemen invited by the young lady. Mr. Xie, should I not I think I want you to be your husband."
Butler Kong secretly thought that it seemed that the young lady had realized Mr. Xie's talent and came up with the idea on the spur of the moment.
Just based on what Young Master Xie showed just now, he is qualified to be a Young Master. It’s true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
Xie Fu chuckled: "Old housekeeper, you must be willing to learn. If his mind is not on reading and writing, he will not learn no matter how much I teach him."
"Master Xie is right." Butler Kong already respected Fu Xie a lot.
Xie Fu asked: "Old housekeeper, can a painting like this win the favor of a brothel lady?"
Butler Kong blurted out: "Of course, thanks to the master's talent, even the brothel ladies are inferior to him."
