C8 Undying in the Heart of a Thief!
Even though the Zhang Family was the home of the Royal Merchant, the manor was extremely elegant. Whether it was pavilions, pavilions, or flower beds, the construction and furnishing of the manor was extremely ingenious.
Every courtyard of the Zhang Family had a refined name. For example, Hao Geer's small courtyard was named "Mythical Abode pavilion", the young lady Zhang Baoyi's small courtyard was named "Fragrance Garden", and the Second Wife was living in "autumn cinnamon garden".
In the laurel forest, cranes were picking up feathers and there were five buildings on top of them. Each of them was carved with a fresh pattern on the partition, and on the main door of the house hung a large golden signboard with the words "autumn cinnamon garden" written on it.
Hua Hanyun lived in the backyard of the main house. Passing through the main house, she saw, through the two brocade kitchens, a large lacquered bed, with a red cloth hanging on top. Hua Hanyun took off her makeup and wore a pink wide sleeves dress, took off her boots, revealing her jade legs. She leaned on the bed, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, the big girl, Cui Hong, carefully helped her massage her shoulders and legs.
The other girls all stood outside obediently, their heads lowered and their hands lowered. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"The Second Master isn't back yet?"
"Grandmother, Second Master said that he would like to go to the two manors outside the Eastern City. He might not come back today, but the master and his wife both sent him a message!" Cui Hong said obediently.
Hua Hanyun snorted, and threw the silk handkerchief in her hands down fiercely: "Only a little hoof like you would speak up for your second master, who knows, at this time, what kind of person would be in Lichi Lake or New River cruise ship, drinking wine and making fun of those fox like hooves!
He really wanted to go to the Villa outside the Eastern City and not let Cui Da's family hitch the carriage? He's lying to a ghost! "
Hua Hanyun was furious, the wives and girls outside all looked pale from fright, while's smile remained on her face as she said: "Grandmother, you have caused a ruckus again! Sigh, why don't you think about it, that Lichi Lake and Xinhe's pleasure boat courtyard are both selling for gold!
I am a person who wants face. When I go out, I won't be as dissolute as other young masters. I am a member of the Zhang Family!] How could any of these fox-like hooligans enter the Second Master's eyes? Therefore, Second Wife, how can you not be worried, how can Second Elder not be worried? Second Wife, you're in charge of the family! Right now, who outside of the Inner Palace doesn't say that Second Master is on the right path?
Hua Hanyun's face was extremely composed, but she did not relax her brows.
"There's no way we can live this life anymore!" Such a big family, such a big stand, he had to take care of everything related to sesame beans! The old lady was not feeling well today, so she used a bowl of congee tonight.
Hao Geer is the flesh and blood of our ancestor, this child is also an idiot, treating Ying Er as her lifeblood, I wonder what's so good about that girl? When she was by the old lady's side, her aggressive attitude made people disgusted. It didn't matter whether she was young or young, her status was high or low. This servant had already mounted on the head of the lord.
If she could really win the heart of the old ancestor, would he not agree to let Hao Geer go? Hao Geer is so silly and naive, she must be worried to death! "
Hua Hanyun complained, Zhang Haoran was angry because of Ying Er, so he did not go to school. There was nothing he could do, it was not like his father, Zhang Chengxi, was not at the Zhang Family, the old master Zhang Chengdong was going to take care of him, the old lady was protecting him with all her might.
At first, everyone thought that since Zhang Haoran was a child, it would just take a few days before it would be fine. But who would have thought that half a month had passed?
The old lady was worried, the backyard could not even follow a single one of them safely. Hua Hanyun was not an inner or outer person, he just thought that she wanted to be a lowly Ying Er.
Hua Hanyun sighed, and said: "Second Wife, how many people know about your suffering! For the sake of this family, you've made up your mind. Just speak of this matter, you were also doing what the old ancestor wanted you to do, who would have thought that things would end up like this! "
Hua Hanyun lightly patted Cui Hong's little face and said: "Girl, consider it as me not loving you for nothing! It's all the fault of that Lu Jia Zheng Ge'er. Oh right, what has that unclean goods been doing recently? "
"What else can we do? Of all the people in the mansion, this one is the most relaxed and free!" Each day, the four girls and two of their wives served him well, as if he was enjoying life! Everyday, he would get up at dawn. First, he would wander around Scenic Mountain for a bit, and then eat breakfast at dawn before leaving home.
Returning for lunch at noon, I have been holed up in the courtyard all day. I wonder what I am doing! " Cui Hong said.
Hua Hanyun laughed coldly, and said: "It's good to hear about unclean goods, we've been messed up everyday, he's actually quite relaxed and comfortable. Did he really think of this place as his place to enjoy life? Aunt sent him here from the Jiangning, so she can let him enjoy the blessings? "
When Hua Hanyun mentioned Lu Zheng, the anger in her heart could not calm down. She waved her hand, signalling for Cui Hong not to pinch her feet anymore.
"What is it? Liang Shi's family is still not here? "
Cui Hong stretched her head out to look outside, and said: "Aiyo, you've been here for a long time! Liang's sister-in-law, what were you standing there for? "Quick, sit in the room, I'll bring you some tea!"
Liang Shi's family member was around thirty years old. Last time, because of Lu Zheng's incident with the old lady, he had been struck by the wooden board, and was just getting better, but had fallen a little ill. When he walked, his legs seemed to have become a little unkempt and he was slightly crippled.
She respectfully entered the door and paid her respects to Hua Hanyun, then said: "My respects to Second Wife, my cheap life was saved by Second Wife, I know that Grandmother has a lot of things to do, and I didn't dare to come and disturb you. I didn't expect Grandmother to send a message today, so I came over shamelessly!"
"Sit down!" It might not be the first time you are here, but Cui Hong knows everything about Brother Lu'Er's whereabouts. Hua Hanyun said indifferently.
The person from the Liang Shi family hurriedly bowed and said, "I knew that you wouldn't be able to hide these things from Grandma. Speaking of which, if we servants did something wrong, it would be well-deserved even if we got beaten to death!
But, this Brother Lu who is currently living a carefree and comfortable life in the West Garden has actually caused our Hao Geer, Bao Yiguniang, Tang Ge'er, Zhen'er and Brother Wei, this bunch of masters to have a grudge. What kind of crime is this?
The face of the Zhang Family is first class, but this unclean goods is making us lose face? All along, you have caused trouble for our master. As servants, all of us feel uncomfortable looking at it! "
As Liang Shi's family spoke till here, they began to shed tears, and in the end began to whimper.
Hua Hanyun snorted, and said: "At least you are in charge of the West Garden! If you can't even take care of a kid, can you clean up Nuo's courtyard properly? "
Hearing Hua Hanyun's words, the people from the Liang Shi family immediately stopped crying and said, "Aiyo, Grandma, who dares to provoke unclean goods right now? The old lady was angered the last time. The two girls you personally taught are still out in the manor, unable to return!
At this point, who would be so unlucky? "
She paused for a moment before continuing, "Earlier, Hao Geer, Brother Tang'er and the others were making a ruckus, while Bao Yiguniang and a few others blocked the Western Corner Gate. I had thought that the masters would be able to cause a ruckus, and at the very least, suppress the anger of this unclean goods a bit.
Ah, who would have thought that although he looked stupid, he was actually cunning and cunning to the extreme. He would lie down in the West Corner House and do whatever he was told, treating it as if it was nothing more than a turtle hiding its head.
Bao Yi and the other ladies would not be able to easily barge into the courtyard.
Hua Hanyun frowned slightly, and said: "Eating and drinking is something that your Liang Shi's family arranged for him. He's a half-grown kid, and his hair hasn't even fully grown, and he doesn't have a single flaw?"
"Grandmother, don't even mention a half-grown brat like him. He's just a hairless monkey. Why did your grandma and grandma spend all the money that they collected for him?" For every meal, the maidservants would bring a few hundred dollars. There were quite a number of cooks in the kitchen, and everyone had their share.
The flower workers in the courtyard, the errands runners, the porters, and the maids, all gave him a reward for giving him the slightest bit of work. Didn't he say two days ago that he wanted goose feathers because a bunch of the West Corner House's servants caught the white goose in the courtyard?
Eldest Grandma has a soft temper and is only concerned with turning her head to cry. If not for me asking around, who knows how long she would have kept this grievance hidden! "
"Pah!"
Fury surfaced on Hua Hanyun's face, she suddenly stood up and threw a blue and white Plum Blossom Bottle on the table. With a loud crash, the bottle was smashed into eight pieces, scaring Cui Hong and the Liang Shi family members to the point that they stood up, their faces turning white.
"This unclean goods dog is truly slippery like a monkey! Who said he was an idiot? He is taking our family's silver and buying the hearts of our servants! How preposterous, how preposterous! " Hua Hanyun was so angry that her face turned green.
"Pity my big sister Liu Wan, she is the most kindhearted, usually raising those few little rabbits, Little White Goose is acting as if he's his lifeblood, but this person who killed him with a thousand blades actually had his goose feathers plucked completely, he … He is bullying Sister Liu, an orphan and a widower. No one will support him! "
"'s family, you manage such a large West Garden, do you not have any way to deal with it?"
Liang Shi's family's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he said: "Second Wife, you called me over today. I've been planning all this outside of the Inner Palace, even if it's extremely difficult, as long as you ask around, it won't be a problem.
How could I possibly be as smart as you? Don't be angry, it's not good to be angry. Even if that Lu brother is shrewd like a monkey, what does that matter in front of your grandmother? "Just give me an idea, I'll take care of him properly later, and let the wives of granny vent their anger!"
