The return of the son-in-law

Because Guo Feng'an was still young, his yard was not far from Liu Pianpian's. Although it was not big, it was close to the Rong En Hall where Liu Pianpian lived.Compared with Guo Zhan'an's large but too remote courtyard, it is enough to see the status of the two young masters of the Guo family in the hearts of the head of the Guo family.

Guo's father and son were about to arrive at Guo Feng'an's courtyard, but Guo Zhan'an suddenly stopped and said to Guo Xiantong: "Father, after entering the courtyard, please don't open your mouth and let me tell you, how about it?"

Guo Xian was still out of breath, snorted, and said, "Why, are you worried that I'm taking sides with them? Well, I'll just say nothing and see what tricks you can come up with!"

Guo Zhan'an smiled triumphantly, did not speak, and continued to follow Guo Xiantong to the yard.

The two gatekeepers at the gate of Guo Feng'an's courtyard saw that Guo Xiantong and Guo Zhan'an had arrived, and their expressions changed slightly. One of them forced a smile and stepped forward and said, "Master, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master just took medicine and fell asleep. Go pass on for the two of you."

Guo Zhanan winked, and Jia Huan, who was following behind him, understood, took a step forward, grabbed another young man who was about to leave, and cursed: "What are you! Will the master wait for the second young master's approval at the gate of the yard?"

Guo Zhan'an made a gesture of invitation: "I haven't seen my second brother since he fell into the water. He's here anyway. Father, why don't you go in and have a look."

Guo Xiantong already sensed that something was wrong, but he couldn't get off the tiger. Since he had promised Guo Zhan'an, he had no choice but to enter the courtyard.

There were a few servants and maids who were working in the yard. When they saw Guo Xiantong and Guo Zhanan coming, they put down their work one by one, stood up and shouted: "The master is here, the young master is here."

Guo Zhan'an glanced at some of them, and saw that these people had their heads down, and they couldn't see their faces at all, as if they wanted to hide themselves.But they couldn't help looking up from time to time, and when their eyes made contact with Guo Zhan'an's, these people hurriedly lowered their heads again.Especially those two maids, their feet were already weak from fright, and they swayed from time to time, Guo Zhan'an thought they would fall.

The father and son entered Guo Feng'an's house, and Chuncao, one of the big maids in Guo Feng'an's yard, stepped forward to greet her, "Please be well, master, please be well, young master. The second young master just took the medicine and fell asleep not long ago."

Guo Xiantong glanced at Guo Zhan'an and said, "Did you hear that, your younger brother took the medicine."

Guo Zhan'an was not in a hurry, and said, "I haven't visited my second brother for a long time. This time, my second brother fell into the water in my yard. I feel ashamed. Anyway, let me go in and have a look, so I can feel at ease."

Chuncao was taken aback, and quickly said: "Eldest young master, the doctor said that the second young master was frightened by falling into the water, and he can't stand the fright anymore. Why don't you let the second young master go to see the first young master after the second young master wakes up and the servants have told the second young master?"

"Oh? You asked my second brother to come to see me?" Guo Zhanan looked at Chuncao with a half-smile, his voice suddenly became cold, and he scolded: "What are you! Listen to what our Miss Chuncao said, even my second brother It's up to you, and anyone who can see my second brother has to get your approval. Miss Chuncao, you are really the number one master in this yard."

Chuncao was so ashamed by Guo Zhan'an's robbing her of whiteness, she bit her lower lip, and tears welled up from the corners of her eyes.It took her a long time to hold back her tears and said: "Why does the young master say that, Chuncao is a maid whose life is worthless, how dare she stop the young master and instigate the second young master."

Jia Huan, who was following Guo Zhan'an, understood, stepped forward and pulled Chuncao aside, and said in a calm voice, "Okay, who is this sad face for?"

Guo Zhanan made a gesture of invitation: "Father, let's go see the second brother."

Bypassing the screen and entering the back room, even Guo Xiantong, who had always been ignorant of things in the inner house, noticed something was wrong.

Guo Feng'an was naturally lying on the bed with his eyes closed.It's just that there were four or five little maids gathered together, seeing Guo Xiantong and Guo Zhan'an coming in, two of them were timid and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Guo Xiantong was very displeased, he is the head of the Guo mansion, since Chuncao came out to welcome him, it meant that everyone inside knew he was coming, but these little maids didn't come out, instead gathered in a corner, as if Like avoiding him.

What is this!

Here Guo Xiantong is still angry, over there Guo Zhanan has figured out something is wrong - the oldest of these little maids is only twelve or thirteen years old, where do they have such courage?

Unless, unless he has committed some serious taboo, he avoids the masters.

Guo Zhan'an became suspicious, so he couldn't help but be a little more patient when he saw these maids.He looked at it for a while, then suddenly realized.

"All of you, raise your heads up."

Hearing what Guo Zhan'an said, the little maids didn't dare to raise their heads. They covered their heads and trembled, and they cried once or twice from time to time.

Guo Xiantong also became suspicious at this moment, and ordered the two servants following behind him: "You two, go and lift up their heads for me."

The two young servants took orders, and they didn't care that this was the second young master's room. They rolled up their sleeves and went forward, grabbed the little girl on the outermost side, cut her hands behind her back, pinched the little girl's cheeks with both hands, Use your strength.

The little servant girl struggled desperately, but how could her strength compare to these two young servants?But in the blink of an eye, the little maid's face was exposed in front of Guo Xiantong and Guo Zhan'an.

Guo Xiantong saw it at first glance, and was so angry that he said, "What kind of dress are you wearing! Pull it down!"

Guo Zhan'an laughed in his heart, and persuaded: "Why should father be angry? This little girl is so young, I'm afraid she can't even memorize the rules in the house. She will do whatever the master tells her to do."

Guo Xiantong couldn't help venting his anger on Guo Zhanan: "It's all you, what are you doing here so well!"

"Father blames me?" Guo Zhanan raised his eyebrows and said, "Second brother is still growing up now. If he doesn't find out that there is such a girl who deceives the master early, wouldn't the second brother have to go astray? I heard that, The new gentleman hired by the second brother will not come after the new year."

Guo Zhan'an's words made sense, but Guo Xian couldn't vent his anger on him, so he challenged the little maids again: "Why are you still standing there! Go invite your wife, this yard needs to be tidied up!"

Guo Zhan'an was used to Guo Xiantong's outraged look, so he didn't care, instead he turned to look at his second brother who was lying on the bed.

The house is in a mess right now, but his second brother is still lying on the bed and asleep. This kind of patience is not like Guo Feng'an who sneaked into his yard in the middle of the night just to order food.

Guo Zhan'an moved to Guo Feng'an's bed, as expected, although the latter's eyes were closed, his eyelashes trembled violently, and his breathing was short of breath, obviously he was afraid.

Seeing that most of his face was covered by the quilt, Guo Zhan'an knew there was something wrong, so he simply reached out and lifted the quilt from his face, and saw that there was a large circle of red and pink rouge around Guo Feng'an's mouth.

Now that things are up, Guo Zhan'an doesn't mind adding more fire.He turned to Guo Xiantong and said, "Father, you should come and see the second brother."

Guo Xiantong thought it was something wrong with Guo Feng'an's body, but it was the rouge that caught his eyes, and he became even more angry.

"Stinky boy, why are you pretending to be asleep, get up!" Guo Xiantong only felt that his face was hurting badly, he was too high on Guo Feng'an in front of Guo Zhan'an, but this boy was so uneducated that he started to eat rouge!

Thinking of the messy rouge and gouache on the faces of those little maids, Guo Xiantong's complexion became even worse.

Seeing that Guo Feng'an was still pretending to be asleep, he simply made a move by himself, grabbed one of Guo Feng'an's arms, and threw him off the bed to the ground.

This time, Guo Feng'an didn't dare to pretend anymore. After getting up from the ground, he knelt and grabbed Guo Xiantong's thigh, crying and begging for mercy: "Father, I was wrong, Daddy, I don't dare again!"

How could Guo Xiantong spare him so easily?Now that he was in a rage, Guo Feng'an's behavior of begging for mercy would not let him extinguish his anger, on the contrary, it would only intensify it.

"Wrong? Where did you go wrong?" Guo Xiantong looked at the incompetent second son, and smiled angrily, "I should be wrong. I shouldn't force you to study, but I should have let you stay in this room with the little maid." Let's have fun."

Guo Feng'an cried even harder: "Father, I really know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!"

I was crying when I heard a voice from outside: "What's the matter? What's the matter? An'er, who bullied you? An'er, don't be afraid, mother is here."

Before Liu Pianpian entered the room, she heard her precious son crying, trotted in nervously, and saw her son kneeling there crying, while Guo Zhan'an stood aside.

She could only force herself not to look at Guo Feng'an, walked up to Guo Xiantong, said with a wry smile, "Master, what's wrong? What did An'er do wrong? Master just say it straight, I'm still here."

"Are you there?" Guo Xiantong pointed to the little maids in the corner and asked, "You selected these maids to be placed in An'er's courtyard?"

Liu Pianpian thumped in her heart, knowing that something was wrong.But she didn't know what was wrong with this matter, so she could only continue to ask Guo Xiantong with a smile: "I think these girls are quite honest, and their age is suitable. If they are younger, I'm afraid they won't be able to take good care of An'er." , if I'm older, I'm worried that they'll grab An'er while I'm not paying attention. Master, is there anything wrong with that?"

She spoke from the perspective of a loving mother who considered for Guo Feng'an, but Guo Xiantong was not so angry anymore, he only thought that Liu Pianpian was deceived by these little maids.

"Look for yourself, did the rouge on the faces of these little maids get on An'er's face?"

Liu Pianpian was shocked and hurried to look at Guo Feng'an's face.Although Guo Feng'an cried a lot, the rouge and powder on his face were still there, just like the face of that big tabby cat in the yard.

"This, this..." Liu Pianpian immediately understood, and a little maid was just slapped in the face, "You shameless little hooves! You don't do good things, but you do these dirty tricks! Come on!" Man, take these little girls down and lock them up, and I'll find out tomorrow, and they'll all be sold!"

There was a lot of crying in the room, and everyone cried and shouted that they would never dare again.But the masters didn't say a word, and the three nuns brought by Liu Pianpian were also unambiguous, and took all the little maids with them.

This is not the purpose of Guo Zhan'an's visit, but these little maids have helped him a lot.When the crying in the room gradually dissipated, Guo Zhan'an said: "It seems that the second brother is in good health, his mouth is weak after taking medicine and porridge for the past two days, and he can't even resist eating rouge. "

Liu Pianpian stared at Guo Zhan'an, and asked, "What does the young master mean?"

"It's just that I care about my second brother," Guo Zhan'an said calmly, "My second brother fell into the water in my yard in the middle of the night, which made the master and wife so angry. I always want to come and have a look."

Liu Pianpian just felt that there was something wrong with Guo Zhanan today. After all, this was the first time Guo Zhanan called her "Madam" after the poisoning. Why did she feel so cold?

Liu Pianpian was not wrong.

Guo Zhan'an said to Guo Xiantong: "I heard from my wife that my second brother was seriously ill, and my father was anxious and angry. He didn't know why, so he said that my step-brother bumped into my second brother. But I see that the second brother is alive and well today. It doesn't look like it was hit."

Liu Pianpian frowned, becoming more and more confused about what kind of medicine Guo Zhanan was selling in this gourd.
