"Snapped!"
Liu Dechang suddenly dropped the tea bowl in his hand. The eyes of the tea drinkers at the tea stall turned to him. The attendants around him hurriedly stepped forward to remind him,
"General, please calm down and pay attention to your identity."
Liu Dechang suppressed his anger and shouted loudly:
"This tea is cold, waiter, please change it to another pot."
Seeing that he was banging the table because the tea was cold, the people who were drinking tea continued to immerse themselves in drinking tea and chatting, but the chatting voice was much quieter than before.
The waiter hurriedly responded and came to him with another pot of tea. While apologizing to him, he held the pot of tea and murmured in a low voice,
"This tea shouldn't be cold. It's just boiled water."
"It's cool when I say it's cool. What are you muttering about? Get down."
Under Liu Dechang's scolding, the waiter immediately frowned. Seeing the black line on his face, and seeing that the two followers around him were not easy to mess with, he hurriedly carried the pot of tea and trotted down.
Listening to these people's gossip, Liu Dechang had no intention of drinking tea anymore. He immediately asked his entourage to pay the money, left the tea stall, and walked angrily to the Duke's Mansion.
Prince Yu's Mansion
Luo Lan, Luo Xue, and Yu Qiaoqiao were sitting in the pavilion, drinking tea and chatting, and their eyes glanced at the children from time to time.
Yu Qiaoqiao asked softly:
"Fourth sister-in-law, didn't you invite anyone else to Huaiyu's birthday?"
"No, it's the child's birthday. It's enough for the family to give you some gifts. There's no need to let others know."
"That's right, the kid Huaiyu is lucky to have met you, otherwise, he would not be as happy as he is now."
There was a faint smile on Luo Lan's lips, "He has also brought us a lot of happiness. Now these children have reached the point where they are inseparable."
Yu Qiaoqiao smiled and praised:
"It's not just that you teach well. Those children are not only polite but also reasonable. Yi Cheng has only been here for a few days and they can get along very well. This is inseparable from you as a mother. Many times , I envy you very much for being able to teach children so well. I am just a child, Xiaobao, and it already makes me scratch my head."
"Xiaobao is also an obedient child, but he has become less courageous recently. If you have time to take him to visit Prince Yu's Mansion more often, and spend more time with these children, it will probably be much better."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked up at Luo Lan, raised her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said softly:
"I actually really want Xiaobao to come to Prince Yu's Mansion. He is too lonely at home alone. My companionship is different from my playmates after all. I'm just afraid of troublesome you, so I feel a little embarrassed."
Yu Qiaoqiao seemed to be saying that as long as Luo Lan was not afraid of trouble, she would often bring Xiaobao to Prince Yu's Mansion.
Luo Lan secretly took a breath. She just wanted to be polite. Xiaobao is different from her four children. Although he is timid, he is more willful. If he is allowed to come to Yuwang Mansion often, the four children will definitely be dissatisfied. , if there is a fight, it will be hard to say.
Thinking of this, she shook her head helplessly,
"I'm not afraid of trouble. I'm just afraid that the four children in my family are a little protective of their shortcomings. If Xiaobao gets into trouble with one of them, the others will swarm in and bully Xiaobao."
"Xiaobao is not afraid of bullying."
Leng Xi's voice came from not far away. Luo Lan twisted his eyebrows and looked at it. Luo Xue, who had been silent all this time, showed an expression of disgust.
Yu Qiaoqiao still sat calmly, as if Leng Xi's arrival had nothing to do with her.
Leng Xi came to the three of them, sat down unceremoniously, and continued to say with high spirits:
"Fourth sister-in-law, I heard that Prince Yu's palace is looking for a martial arts teacher. If you find a suitable person, can you send Xiaobao with him? Of course, I can pay the fee on a monthly basis. I am willing to pay half of the fees for the literature and martial arts teachers. Xiaobao can just have a meal here at noon, and I will pay for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Lan shook his head and refused.
"This is not appropriate. Prince Xi also knows that I already have four children here. I just said that they are more protective of their shortcomings. When Xiaobao comes, he will definitely be bullied. You should choose another gentleman to teach him alone. Bar!"
"It's okay. Xiaobao is too cowardly. He needs to temper his temperament. If he is allowed to stay alone all the time, I'm afraid he will accomplish nothing in the future. Fourth sister-in-law, please consider that they are both from the Leng family. Come on, let Xiaobao come to Prince Yu’s Mansion and study with these children!"
this……
Seeing that Luo Lan was a little embarrassed, Luo Xue said rudely:
"Prince Xi's family has a great business. If you don't have any kind of martial arts teacher you want to find, why do you have to come to Prince Yu's Mansion? Is there some purpose?"
Listening to Luo Xue's words, Leng Xi's brows instantly tightened, but they soon relaxed.
He calmed down his expression and replied unhurriedly:
"No matter how good a martial arts teacher is, a child will not be able to arouse the interest in learning, otherwise Xiaobao's temperament would not be so cowardly."
"Isn't this a gift from your Lord Xi? I heard that your upbringing is very strict. Your children will be beaten and scolded if they say a single word. You must be cowardly."
Luo Xue's words made Leng Xi turn his head to look at Yu Qiaoqiao angrily. He knew that these words must have come from Yu Qiaoqiao.
However, Yu Qiaoqiao did not raise her head to look at him. Instead, she held her chin with one hand and looked away, as if she was thinking about something.
Leng Xi knew that he was wrong about Xiaobao's education, so he had to clear his throat and said again:
"Princess Ming said this, as if she was deliberately targeting me. Is it wrong for me to be strict in my upbringing? A filial son will come out of a stick. Hasn't Princess Ming heard this sentence?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something, patted his forehead, raised his voice again and said:
"Oh, by the way, I forgot. Princess Ming has lived in Chu State since she was a child. I wonder if Chu women don't have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or maybe Princess Ming doesn't like to learn? I heard that you don't know much about Chinese characters and can't memorize poems. How many songs? You don’t know how to play music or chess, let alone calligraphy and painting, so what did you study all day long? Fighting and bickering? Riding horses and shooting and hunting..."
"Snapped!"
Seeing that Leng Xi was deliberately taunting her, Luo Xue threw the tea cup in her hand towards Leng Xi. Leng Xi also grinned alertly and then caught the tea cup flying towards him. When he raised the teacup he caught to show off to Luo Xue, there was a whoosh, and the other teacup flew out of Luo Xue's hand at the same time, hitting Leng Xi's eyes without any bias.
"ah!"
After hearing the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground, everyone looked at Leng Xi.
I saw him covering his eyes with one hand, gritting his teeth and pointing the other finger at Luo Xue, raising his voice and asking:
"You...you...you dare to do it?"
Luo Xue patted her hands lightly and raised the corners of her mouth with disdain, "You just said that when I was in Chu State, all I learned was fighting skills. You are right. As for me, I will fight if I don't get along with you." I like to use my hands, no, my hand slipped for a moment and I didn’t catch it, so the tea cup flew out of my hand. Doesn’t Prince Xi have the same experience as a wild little girl like me?”
When she said this, Luo Xue had a mocking smile on her face.
Leng Xi's face was livid with anger. He covered his eye, looked at her angrily, clenched his fist and angrily yelled:
"It's really...it's really difficult to raise a woman and a villain."
