Bao Ye

Chi Yunfei took Xiao Yangyang to play in the Jinglan Courtyard. Three people in the room drank tea and chatted. General Wen occasionally glanced out of the window. It's true, and it looks like a school of knowledge and knowledge.

But General Ruowen could hear what Chi Yunfei was muttering clearly at this time, and he probably spit out the tea he just drank.

"This is art." Chi Yunfei said seriously, "Does Yang Yang know what art is?"

Wen Nianyang was only three years old, squatting beside him in round clothes, looking from his back, he looked like two big and small balls, he shook his head in confusion: "No."

It is said that Wen Nianyang was a late learner to speak, and he didn't like to talk to people on weekdays. He always jumped out word by word, showing a mature aura of "silence is golden" at a young age.

Chi Yunfei said: "That's it, the one in Grandpa's yard is art. What ordinary people can't understand is art."

Wen Nianyang nodded, still bewildered.

Chi Yunfei dug under the white sand again, muttering to himself: "What's this made of? What's under there?"

Wen Nianyang also learned to stretch out his hands to pick and pull. The two played on the finely divided sand and stones, building a small tower for a while, and digging a long cave for a while. Outlined the shape of the wave and laughed alone.

Commander Wen came over at some point, stood behind one big and one small and said, "We, Yang Yang, are really smart."

Chi Yunfei was still wondering if there were any bugs under the sand, so he dug some out to feed his cricket "Little Overlord", dug out a small hole under his feet, and immediately jumped up when he heard Commander Wen's voice, clapping He patted the sand in Yang Yang's hand, and said, "Father."

"Yangyang's painting is pretty good." Commander Wen's face was serious, but there was a gentle light in his eyes, "Does this wave represent ocean waves?"

Chi Yunfei: "?"

Wen Nianyang smiled and stretched out his hand to Commander Wen to hug him.

Commander Wen nodded, picked up the little grandson, and said with satisfaction: "Our Yangyang is enlightened, not bad."

Chi Yunfei: "..."

Chi Yunfei felt that he was despised by the Wen family's ancestral genes.

He secretly took his foot and wanted to fill the hole he dug back. Commander Wen happened to look over and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

So, Young Master Chi is Young Master Chi, without blushing or beating heart, following the word "wave" and just imitating it: "Whirlpool."

Commander Wen let out a "huh" and was noncommittal, but he didn't pursue it further.

Wen Nianyang was taken away by the nanny, and Commander Wen still had business to deal with, so he put on his military uniform and left Wen's house.

Chi Yunfei followed Mrs. Wen to learn trivial matters all morning, and he was stuffed with a bunch of registers, and he was asked to memorize them within two days - all the major warlords, business families, etc. who had frequent contacts with the Wen family.

It also indicates the families that have a good relationship with the Wen family, what the host family likes and what they don't like, who can't sit at the same table if they invite someone to a banquet, what dishes and people will be allergic to them, and so on.

Chi Yunfei was dizzy watching it, and for the first time knew that being "head of the family" was not a good job.Where can scattered wealth recruit a capable housekeeper?

Coming out of Jinglan Courtyard, there are two acquaintances standing on the veranda far away.

One is the newlywed husband, General Wen, and the other is his concubine, Lin Ziqing.

Lin Ziqing went back and changed her clothes. The goose-yellow short jacket and the horse-faced skirt with gold thread trim made her look delicate and delicate, like the warm and clean summer sunshine.

The two stood very close, and they didn't know what they said. Lin covered the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief and smiled, her eyes curved into crescent moons, full of tenderness and sweetness.

Chi Yunfei stuffed a bunch of rosters in his hand to the little maid, straightened his clothes, and strode over.

Prepare to have a "stick to beat mandarin ducks" on the spot.

Lin saw Chi Yunfei from afar, the corners of his mouth retracted, but then he smiled sincerely, and said to Chi Yunfei politely, "Master Chi."

"What are you talking about laughing so happily?" Chi Yunfei grinned, "Let's hear it, let me be happy, too?"

This was said so frivolously, as if teasing a little girl in a kiln, Lin's face collapsed, and then he showed a embarrassed expression, and said: "Master Chi, I just chatted with General Yangyang about recent interesting things, their father and son It's been too long since we've been apart, and Yang Yang is a bit skeptical, so I'll say more, so that the general can get to know Yang Yang better."

She glanced at Wen Xinyang and added, "I'm afraid there's nothing to make Master Chi happy."

Chi Yunfei's words were not polite enough, especially if men and women are not close to each other. If they change the occasion and change the object, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are "molesting a good woman".Lin thought it was related to Yangyang, but he used the relationship between father and son to talk about it. He could successfully make General Wen feel bored with Chi Yunfei's frivolous character, and he also beat this young master who didn't know the door by the way, but he didn't expect Master Chi I didn't take it seriously, but when I heard that it was related to Yang Yang, I became interested.

"Yangyang is quite cute." He looked at Wen Xinyang, "Can I take him out to play when I'm free?"

Wen Xinyang did not refuse: "Mother also happened to mean that. If you like it, bring him to the Junzhu Courtyard after dinner."

Lin picked up a stone and smashed himself in the foot, his face turned pale: "General? What does this mean?"

Wen Xinyang said: "In the past there was no master in the yard, so it's okay for you to take care of the child, but now that Yun Fei is here, the child should be taken care of by him."

If the main house is a woman, as the mistress of the courtyard, it is no problem to take the child to raise by herself, but Chi Yunfei is a man!

Lin's plan was shattered, the beads scattered all over the floor, and he said in a trembling voice: "This...Mother didn't mention it to me, Mr. Chi...Master Chi may not be able to take care of children. Yang Yang still Small."

"I think he played well with Yangyang, let him try." Wen Xinyang glanced at the time, planning to go to the barracks, and said expressionlessly, "If he doesn't bring it well, I'll give it back to you." yes."

Chi Yunfei was also surprised: what's going on?I just want to play with him, didn't say I want to raise him!

No, I'm still a baby myself!What baby do I bring? !

But he couldn't say these words, he could only grit his teeth and smile: "Leave it to me, you can take care of yourself. If there is anything I don't understand, I will ask Mother and Sister Lin."

Wen Xinyang nodded, turned and left.

Lin Ziqing clenched the silk handkerchief tightly, all the pride just now faded from his face.

Her child is going to be raised by others?Or a young master with no hair at all?What are you kidding? !

She stepped forward to stop Chi Yunfei who was about to leave, she seemed to have low eyebrows but gritted her teeth and said, "Master Chi, how can you raise a good child as a man? Yang Yang is the only grandson of the Wen family, I'm afraid there will only be such a child in the future." One, this is no small matter."

Young Master Chi has a tough head, he was unwilling to take on this job, but if you said so, he would still show it to you.

No one can say Master Chi is bad!

Chi Yunfei smiled: "Sister, don't worry, didn't the general say it? If I don't bring it well, I will return it to you."

"you……"

"Don't try to trip me up." Chi Yunfei blinked and warned with a smile on his face, "You said it yourself, this is the only grandson of the Wen family, if something happens, you and I won't be able to bear it You'd better protect the little guy from having any accidents in my hands, otherwise... Maybe the commander will bring back another concubine for the general, and your life will not be as easy as it is now."

Lin Ziqing's face turned blue and then pale, his fingers turned so hard that his knuckles turned white, and he clenched the silk handkerchief into a ball.

Seeing that Chi Yunfei was hanging around and going out, she said to the maid angrily: "A man, let's see how long he can be proud!"

"Miss." The close maid came here with Lin Ziqing. The two have been together since they were young. Naturally, the little maid couldn't see others stepping on her girl's head, so she suggested, "We can't be tough, but we can be soft." Yes. The commander loves Yang Yang so much. He can't bear to let Yang Yang be half wronged. As long as Yang Yang himself doesn't want to stay with the young master of the Chi family, the commander won't force it. Maybe he will let the Wen family I don't like him even more. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

Lin Ziqing was still out of anger, and wanted to find a chance to deal with the young master of the Chi family.

In terms of family background alone, there is not much difference between the Lin family and the Chi family, except that one is in the bank and the other is in the army. Besides, Lin's cousin has a bright future in the army. When her father and cousin are promoted, the Wen family will also benefit. In Wen's family, he was also more able to talk.

Isn't it more beneficial to the Wen family than the Chi family who only counts money?

How could the little maid not know her girl's desire to compete?Immediately comforted: "Miss, General Wen has married a man. The situation in the inner court is very good for you. Although that young master Chi is disgusting, at least he is right in one sentence. If the commander Bring the general back with a concubine, and your current advantage will be lost. Why don't you get along with him on the surface first, you have Yang Yang, are you afraid that the general will not be able to fall in love for a long time?"

Lin Ziqing thought about it, but it was true.

The general may not like men at all, as long as she can have a relationship with the general for a long time, their relationship will only grow deeper as Yang Yang grows up, and if he finds a chance to drive that boy away, the position of mistress is still his own ?

As long as the Lin family lives up to expectations, the more benefits it brings to the Wen family, the more she can get.

On the other side, Young Master Chi, who didn't know that he had escaped a conspiracy, was heartlessly inviting friends to play in the casino.

He carried his "Little Overlord" and won eight rounds in a row in the gambling house. Seeing that "Little Overlord" was too tired to move, he carefully put it into his arms, patted his chest lightly, and said triumphantly: "Why?" Like? Do you accept it or not?"

"Submit." My good friend Yu Datou looked at the bitten off leg of his "General Datou", and felt sorry for his own Dayang, "You little thing is too powerful, why bother to be harsh?"

"I told you all, if you want to see the crickets, look for me first."

"Come on, I will definitely find you next time."

A few people were sitting around the corner of the casino, and the waiter brought tea and melon seeds, and asked them if they wanted to buy wins or losses from other tables.

"I don't want to buy it." Young Master Chi dropped a peanut in his mouth, "I'll take it as soon as it's ready."

The other young masters felt itchy, and went to other tables to place bets—there were cricket players, card gamers, and dog gamers.The owner of the gambling shop and Young Master Chi are also acquaintances. His surname is Xiao, and his single name is Tang. He looks like a girl's name, and he looks very delicate, with a beautiful point on his forehead and slender eyebrows. beautiful.

He was wearing a red-purple robe, which made his complexion white, with short black hair shawls, a small braid on the back of his neck, a string of sandalwood beads in one hand, and a small teapot in the other. When Chi Yunfei walked over, Dozing off against the back of the chair.

"Come to sleep at my place?" He kicked the leg of Young Master Chi's chair, and said dissatisfiedly, "My master runs a gambling house, not an inn."

"...What's wrong." Young Master Chi replied with his eyes closed, "I can sleep wherever I want, and it's not that I didn't give you money."

"Get up!" Sitting opposite him, Xiao Tang raised his legs and said gossipingly, "Come out to gamble on the first day of the wedding, what's going on? Don't you want to warm your man's bed?"

Xiao Tang also likes men, so his young master Chi is also considered a "best friend".

At night, he would occasionally dress up as a woman and wander around, and gamblers mistook him many times, thinking he was a girl from a brothel—after all, this street is either a gambling house or a brothel, and there are big smokers. room.

Young Master Chi yawned, with a little blush in his eyes, and said, "Good morning, I learned a lot of messy things in the morning, and I have to take care of the baby in the evening. I can just come out and be lazy at this moment."

"Bring a baby?"

Young Master Chi clicked his tongue, put one hand on the table, and moved closer to share the story of that concubine with his best friend.

The two talked enthusiastically, Xiao Tang also said that he wanted to see the child some other day, and he wanted to see how Young Master Chi took care of the child - if he didn't take the child into the ditch, it would be considered a noble hand of his to save someone's life.

Suddenly there was a noisy noise outside, the people in the gambling house raised their heads and looked out, Xiaoer opened the curtain and ran in panting: "Damn, the master! The street is coming, the army is here, and they say it's coming. !"

There was a silence in the casino, and then the crowd scattered and fled.

There is a ban on gambling and drugs in Yuecheng, and the first place to bear the brunt is the big smoking room. The boss and the smokers have been dragged out of the hall by several soldiers, followed by a tall black horse, and the man on top is wearing a neat military uniform. Holding the rein in one hand and the whip in the other, the eyes under the military cap are dim, and the light and shadow are aimed at the golden edge on his sharp outline.

"My mother!" Young Master Chi took a look and was about to run through the back door, "Why is he here?"

"Who? Are you a man?" Xiao Tang also probed his head and looked from afar, tsk tsk, "You're so handsome."

Young Master Chi immediately returned and covered his eyes: "Don't look blindly!"

Xiao Tang lazily said: "Since it's a family, let him save face for you and don't check on my family, can you?"

"That won't work." Young Master Chi is quite principled, "I will never cause trouble for the general, I firmly support and unconditionally support my general!"

Xiaotang: "..."

The back door was full of guests who wanted to flee. General Wen seemed to have expected it. He even deployed troops in the back street. It seemed that today was really a big sweep.

Xiao Tang had no choice but to take Young Master Chi back to the gambling house, walked from the roof of the building, climbed all the way to the brothel next door, and then reached the roof of Nanfeng Pavilion, lying on the green tiles covered with weeds and looking down .

Under the big red lantern, General Wen was leading people to inspect the Nanfeng Pavilion. Young Master Chi hurriedly withdrew his head and gestured to Xiao Tang.

Xiao Tang pointed to the backyard, and the two climbed down from the wooden ladder at the other end, bypassed the well and hid in the small building where the prostitutes lived.

But Young Master Chi didn't know that when he retracted his head from the roof, General Wen had already sensed it and looked up.

Originally, neither the Nanfeng Hall nor the brothel would be able to conduct detailed investigations. General Wen mainly investigated the gambling house and the opium room. The adjutant came out after walking around in a circle. Before he could leave, he saw the general get off his horse and hit him with a whip. He lowered the brim of his hat and said, "Wait, I'll go in and have a look."
