All Red Mansions want to attack me [Red Mansion]

Chapter 63 The Servant and the Master

Baoyu used to deal with the second master of the Zhang family in Zhang's mansion every day, and has already seen through the temperament of a person like him who doesn't care what he says. Now, when he coaxes the current servant of the household department, he is relentless. They all just smiled.In a day's time, Lord Shi Lang will come to do coolies for him because he is full of guilt.

It's been tried and tested.

Hao Yao was also faintly worried that Baoyu would be given small shoes to wear when he first entered the officialdom, fearing that his official career would not go well in the future.Only two days after the clinker, he watched with his own eyes the always glamorous servant lord reprimanding Baoyu and at the same time brushing back the hair from his temples impatiently. Although the movements were awkward, there was a hint of intimacy in them. But it was self-evident, and I immediately felt that there was something wrong with my eyes.

When Baoyu came with a smile, he couldn't help but grabbed his sleeve, quietly dragged him into an empty room where files were stored, and closed the door mysteriously. Question: "My dear brother, it's only been two days, how come the servant minister has taken a new look at you?"

Baoyu, who was watched so enthusiastically by him, blinked, and his eyes were also a little dazed for a moment.He frowned, Fang said: "I'm afraid that the horoscope of Mr. Shi Lang matches my horoscope, maybe?"

"Is there any other way?" Hao Yao looked at him eagerly, "You don't know, we are often bloodied by what he said..."

Baoyu patted him on the shoulder sympathetically: "It's just my way, I'm afraid you won't be able to learn it."

Hao Yao was puzzled: "Why?"

Baoyu sighed deeply again, and said, "It's natural."

The skill of blue face and disaster is most effective only at this time.He can make people, especially good-natured people, have an inexplicable affection for him. Even reprimanding him seems to have done something hugely wrong. Otherwise, wouldn't he be ashamed of his disaster? name?

The above few sentences come from the mouth of the wordless scriptures.

Hao Yao: ...

Hearing this, he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​learning from Baoyu, and still plunged into his own dire straits.

The spring rains of this year continued continuously, and the raindrops fell down like broken beads, bringing a faint chill.Last year's taxes were thoroughly counted and put into the national treasury at this time, so everyone in the household department was very busy with this, and they fiddled with the abacus in the room with lights and lights every day.

Even Mu Shu couldn't help it, he personally held an abacus made of finely polished sapphire, on which his slender ten fingers moved the jade beads quickly, making people feel dazzled just by looking at it.The booklet beside him was also the highest piled up, and the booklet used by his subordinates for recording had already been turned over several pages, and from time to time, a small official would step forward to help sharpen the ink, so as to teach him to use it more smoothly.

When Baoyu stepped into the hall where the Ministry of Household Affairs was doing daily work, he saw Mu Shu and Li Yide, Shangshu of the Household Department, had arrived early. The two of them were discussing something in low voices in front of this memorial, frowning and clapping their hands at times, as if meeting each other. It looked like something extremely difficult.

Hearing the sound of someone raising the curtain, Mu Shu lazily raised his eyes, and glanced at Baoyu with his pair of phoenix eyes.Seeing this, he immediately frowned: "I remember that you live in the Duke's Mansion."

The second monk Baoyuzhang couldn't figure it out, so he had to reply truthfully: "Return to your lord, that's right."

"Are all the maids in your mansion just for food?" Mu Shu raised his eyebrows sarcastically, "Why, it's such a cold day, and you didn't even ask you to wear a cloak?"

Baoyu: ...

Xiren asked him to bring it, but he didn't feel cold for a while because he got up early today and ate some hot porridge, so he didn't bring the cloak.It wasn't until halfway there that I felt a faint chill invading my body, even if I held an umbrella, it couldn't block the chilly spring breeze.

However, the reason for this is a private matter after all, so he couldn't explain it in detail with these two, so he could only vaguely say: "I was in a hurry to go out for a while, I just forgot."

"Can this be forgotten?" Mu Shu snorted lightly, and disdain grew more and more in his eyes.He looked Baoyu up and down a few times, and saw some dark stains on the corners of his clothes, which were obviously wet from the rain, and he became more angry, and said immediately, "Why don't you forget yourself in the mansion!"

"Okay, okay," Hubu Shangshu had no choice but to come forward and touch the muddy mud, stroking his already frosty beard and persuaded, "Mu Shu, you should also calm down and don't scare him. What is this? What is it? Is it worth it for you to lose your temper?"

He only thought that Mu Shu had made enmity with Baoyu because of Zhang's second master, so he wanted to find an excuse to find some unhappiness.It's just that Baoyu is also from a noble family, so he shouldn't be offended too much. At this moment, he has to come out to be the mediator, and he is full of good things for Baoyu.Just thinking about how to calm down Mu Shu's anger, the Minister's phoenix raised his eyes and hummed: "Fortunately, I already knew that you are unreliable, so I brought an extra item from the mansion. Otherwise, wouldn’t I freeze you to death today!”

Hubu Shangshu, who was about to persuade him again:  …

Wait, this seems to be a bit different from what I imagined...

He couldn't help opening his mouth wide, and became speechless for a moment, then looked at Baoyu standing below, who had already bowed his lower body with a smile, and said with a smile: "That's it, thank you, Mr. Minister."

He never refused at all.

Mu Shu mocked: "You're welcome, who will make me almost become your father." After saying that, he stood up, took out a silver hand stove from the hand of the person serving beside him, and stuffed it into it roughly. In Baoyu's hand: "Hold it well, be careful that it will freeze later, and I have to buy a coffin with you to collect the body!"

He left without looking back, stopped after walking for several steps, and glanced sideways at Baoyu: "Aren't you going? Have you dealt with yesterday's paperwork?"

Baoyu knew that he was going to have a class with her again, and hurriedly followed with the stove, not forgetting to turn around and salute and bid farewell to the forgotten Master of the Household Department.

Li Yide, Minister of the Household Department, sat on the chair alone, staring dumbfounded for a long time, Fang murmured: "Why, have you become such a son-in-law now?"

Those two... When did they become father-son?

After noon, Baoyu's other father—ah no, another duplicity person also came to the household department.He came this time, but it was not to support the stupid apprentice like the previous time, but for the tax that had been collected this year.

Baoyu is just the head of the household department at this time, and he is not qualified to participate in their conversation. The person present at this moment is only the secretary of the household department.

"I don't want to go around with you either," Zhang Yiran tapped the folding fan in his palm, his brows and eyes seemed to freeze, revealing a bit of a stern aura, "I just want to ask you something. How much money did you bring up?"

Li Yide took the booklet and flipped through it for a while, then said: "A total of 530 taels of silver have been handed in."

Zhang Yiran raised his eyebrows: "Why, in such a big Ping'an Prefecture, you only paid this money?"

"According to Wang Muzhi, this year is a year of severe drought, and the crops are not harvested, not to mention the locust plague, so there is much less money than in previous years. The 8 taels is still due to his hard work. Fang received it, and filled it up with a lot of money from the mansion, so it was enough."

He paused, then lowered his voice and asked Zhang Yiran: "Master Zhang, Your Majesty, this is..."

Zhang Yiran knew what it meant in an instant, and waved his hand slightly: "This is not the meaning of the Holy One, but my meaning."

In Ping'an Prefecture near Longxi, it is reasonable to say that there is a severe drought, and Zhang Yiran would not be very suspicious of it in previous years.But now, the first prince and the fourth prince are faintly showing signs of being evenly divided. Unexpectedly, Wang Muzhi, an official who manages Ping'an Prefecture, is one of the eldest prince's confidantes. Now that the drought has been reported, he is suspected of taking this opportunity to amass a fortune.

It's just that this is just a little suspicion after all. If you haven't sent someone to Ping'an Prefecture to check it out, it's hard to raise it.Even if Zhang Yiran became suspicious again, he couldn't say it clearly, so he recorded all the taxes and taxes he had paid in Pingan Prefecture for nearly ten years, and then he said goodbye to the Minister of the Household Department and went out.

He took two steps, and suddenly remembered the stupid apprentice who was still in the household department at this time, and he paused for a moment.Then he turned around and went to the room where Baoyu handled his daily work.

At this moment, Mu Shu was sitting on Baoyu's seat, frowning and raising a pen to correct some inappropriate writing for him. When he was polishing it, he suddenly saw the door pushed open, and a man in Tsing Yi walked in slowly.Behind him is the sky that is still pouring rain. The whole person seems to be enveloped in slightly moist water vapor, and even his body shape has a hint of being out of the dust. Mu Shu frowned and said For a while, he couldn't see his face clearly.

And Baoyu beside him, who was watching him revise, jumped up suddenly, and said in surprise, "Master!"

Master? !

Mu Shu's pupils suddenly shrank.

That is to say, the one who came in now...is the second master of the Zhang family who kept him out?

His heart immediately trembled, and he subconsciously squeezed the penholder in his hand tightly.

"Run carefully," the man in Tsing Yi couldn't help saying when he saw Baoyu rushing towards him, "There is still water vapor on the ground, and you are so stupid, what if you slipped and fell?"

Baoyu threw herself at his side with her bright eyes, grabbed his sleeve and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Master for several days!"

To be honest, he really misses it a little bit.When he was studying in Zhang's residence, he and his master met every day. Although the master was a bit harsh, he was really good to him, and he didn't know how much he had spent on him.Baoyu could see clearly and was grateful in his heart.

Although he has entered the imperial court now, when he saw Zhang Yiran, he still felt close to him from the bottom of his heart, so he still pulled his sleeves as if he was reading by his side, and said with a smile: "Master, did you come to see me?"

"It's not big or small." Zhang Yiran nodded his forehead, "It's time to change the name to Master Zhang."

Baoyu: "...Really?"

Zhang Yiran calmly said: "If you really dare to call it that, then don't even think about coming to my Zhang family."

Baoyu: ...he knew it.

Mu Shu looked at their master-student relationship silently from the back, and then remembered how he was when he was rejected by Zhang's house and waited for three or four hours but couldn't get in. He felt a burst of fire in his heart. As soon as I exerted force on my hand, the writing brush broke off.

The cracking sound finally made the master and apprentice think of him, Zhang Yiran couldn't help frowning: "Who is this?"

It was only then that Baoyu remembered that there was a past between his two fathers, and looking at Mu Shu's eyes full of madness for a while, he felt a bit of a dilemma.He swallowed his saliva, and said: "Master, this is Mr. Mu Shumu, Minister of the Household Department."

"Master Zhang, don't you remember being dismissed?"

Mu Shu cut off the conversation, got up from his seat, and took a few steps towards Zhang Yiran, "I waited for a long time in front of your mansion back then, but I couldn't wait for Mr. Zhang to open the door and order the official Go in. It's only been a few years now, how can Mr. Zhang completely forget about his subordinates?"

He looked straight at Zhang Yiran, wanting to see regret or pity from the other side.However, Master frowned and thought for a while, then turned his head and glanced at the stupid apprentice: "Why, should I know him?"

Baoyu: ...

Mu Shu: ...

The author has something to say: Mu Shu: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I've been waiting for him for so many years and he actually said he doesn't know me!Wait, that's not what I meant when I said I waited for him for so many years because both he and I should belong to Baoyu. How dare you say you don't know me!Bring the knife, I want to fight him one-on-one! ! !

Baoyu: ...Calm down, if my two fathers fight, who should I ask?

----------

Reasons for easily attacking Mu Shu:

1. Baoyu is especially good at dealing with the Tsundere type.

2. Baoyu is blue-faced disaster

3. Baoyu is the main character...

And, if the two of them are really in a fight, who should they face?
