Chapter 173
Master Mao: "Didn't I go to see an old guy I knew before? The old guy went to find the King of Hell for tea less than two days."
"The old guy's son and daughter-in-law are all matesmen. They were killed when they were mates. The old guy had only one son. He was afraid that his grandson would starve to death after he died, so he asked his grandson to take me as his teacher. I think the little fat dog had no senior brother or senior sister, so he agreed."
Xue Mingcan: How pitiful is my daughter? When my daughter was at her great-grandma's house, she was always the treasure in her great-grandma's palm.
Shui Lianhua: I have heard that Master Mao is not good at speaking. He took the child back because he was pitiful, but he insisted on saying that he was pitiful. Could it be that he was afraid that Xue Mingcan would not let the child stay in the Duke's Mansion? Not to mention Xue Mingcan, even her parents' home is not bad for that meal now.
Master Mao: "Okay, I'm done, I'll go find the little fat dog and the little skinny dog."
Xue Mingcan: "Wait. I can let him live here. But I have to find out his life experience. Tell me the name and hometown of his parents and his grandfather."
"It's really troublesome. His grandfather..."
On the other hand, Baoniu took her junior brother to the kitchen. Baoniu wanted to use her big kitchen to shock her junior brother. Children all over the world are all greedy cats!
Mother Ye, who was in charge of the kitchen, heard Baoniu coming and quickly came out. "Hello, Miss! Miss, why are you here? Just let the maids come over and say to me what you want to eat."
Baoniu pointed to the little boy beside her and said, "This is my junior brother. My junior brother just came today. I want to welcome my junior brother. You ask the chefs to make a table of things that children like to eat. In addition, make two pig trotters, a plate of osmanthus cake, and a plate of candied haws."
"Yes. I'll make arrangements now."
"Well. Go and arrange it. I'll take my junior brother into the kitchen to take a look."
"yes."
After Mother Ye left, Baoniu took her junior brother into the kitchen.
As soon as her junior brother entered, he was stunned. "This...is this kitchen?" This kitchen is bigger than his yard!
"Well. I didn't lie to you, are you? I have all kinds of delicious food in my house." Baoniu pointed to the meat on the chopping board and said, "From now on, you can follow your senior sister and have meat to eat with her."
Junior Brother Baoniu licked his lips. So much meat! How long does it take to eat? His family doesn’t buy so much meat during the Chinese New Year. “If I call you senior sister, can you let me eat meat every day?”
"able!"
"Senior Sister."
"Junior brother."
"Senior sister, there are buns, can I eat one?"
"Yes. Get my junior brother a bun."
"Yes." A cook brought a bun for junior brother Baoniu. "It's a bit hot, just blow it and eat it."
Junior Brother Baoniu took the buns over. "Okay. Thank you aunt."
"You don't dare to be it, you don't dare to be it. You are the junior brother of the eldest lady, just call me Mama Sun."
Junior Brother Baoniu looked at Baoniu.
Baoniu nodded.
"Thank you, Mama Sun."
"You're welcome. Eat slowly. I'm busy."
"good."
Junior Brother Baoniu broke the bun in half. "Give it, we two are half."
"Okay." Baoniu took the bun over. "My surname is Xue, and my name is Baoniu. What is your name?"
"My surname is Li, and my name is Jiapeng."
"What did the master call you?"
"...Senior sister, eat buns. Senior sister, your buns are so good..."
Before Xiao Jiapeng finished speaking, Master Mao’s voice came in. “Little fat dog, little thin dog, come out and practice martial arts with the master. After practicing martial arts, you will have a meal.”
Little thin dog?
Baoniu looked at Xiao Jiapeng. Xiao Jiapeng is indeed not as fat as hers. But... "Junior brother, when I first met my master, I was holding my dog and playing on the ground. When you met the master, you were also playing with the puppy?"
"No, I don't have a dog. The master said, my senior sister is called Xiaopang Dog, I am the junior brother, so I have to call out to my senior sister."
Baoniu: "..." I wouldn't ask if I knew it. "Junior brother, eat buns. After eating buns, go to practice qigong."
"good."
Master Mao: "Little fat dog, little thin dog, come out to practice martial arts."
Baoniu finished eating the buns in her hand and took Xiao Jiapeng out of the kitchen. "Grandpa Mao, do you miss me? I miss you very much."
"No. I'm so fat and I'll eat when I get the chance. I'll practice for a quarter of an hour later."
Baoniu looked at Jiapeng. "Why do you want to recognize him as your master?" His mouth was so poisonous.
"My grandfather asked me to recognize him. My grandfather said he was a good person and said that he could go to see my parents safely if he entrusted me to him."
Entrust? "Your grandpa is right, the master is a good person."
After dinner in the morning, everyone started to work on their own.
Baoniu took her master and her junior brother to visit the Duke's Mansion.
Shui Lianhua followed the housekeeper to familiarize herself with the affairs of the Duke's Mansion.
Xue Mingcan went to the yamen to help Zhou Dalang.
Shui Erxi and Dashan went out to find a house.
Houses in Beijing are very expensive. Fortunately, the Shui family has made a lot of money in the past two years, otherwise Shui Erxi would not dare to buy a house in Beijing. However, although they have earned a lot of money, Shui Erxi only dares to look at the small yard.
In the evening, Xue Mingcan came back from the yamen and started acting coquettishly with Baoniu. "Daughter, daughter, father is back. Dad almost fainted today."
Baoniu pulled Shui Lianhua and Xiao Jiapeng out of the house. "Dad, my mother asked the kitchen to make a lot of delicious food for you."
Xue Mingcan lifted Baoniu up and slapped Baoniu's little butt. You little traitor! "Power your legs, Dad walked more than ten miles today."
"Okay!"
With Baoniu's busy work, Xue Mingcan and Shui Lianhua developed to sit on the same table and have a meal.
The next morning, Xue Mingcan brought five masters to Baoniu. One taught Baoniu to play the piano, the other taught Baoniu to draw, the other taught Baoniu to play chess, the other taught Baoniu etiquette, and the other taught Baoniu to study.
Baoniu wants to cry!
Xue Mingcan: "You learn with your junior brother."
Baoniu is in a better mood.
Xiao Jiapeng: "..." Senior sister, I don't want to eat your meat anymore, okay?
Baoniu: "There is also Xiaobao, Xiaobao has to learn it."
Xiaobao: "Zhizizhizi!" No no no! I am a monkey! Monkey!
Xue Mingcan didn't want others to know that Xiaobao could write: "Xiaobao doesn't need to learn."
Xiaobao patted his chest. Huh!
Xue Mingcan looked at Baoniu and said, "After choosing a maid, the maid will follow you to learn. You are the master, and it would be too embarrassing if you are compared by the maid."
Baoniu: "..."Dad, you don't love me anymore. "Dad, there are people who are called geniuses."
Xue Mingcan rubbed Baoniu's head and looked at Baoniu with a smile and said, "Dad thinks you are a genius. Okay, Dad is going to work as a service. You study hard at home. When Dad is resting, he will take you to the farm to play."
After saying that, Xue Mingcan left.
The housekeeper saw Xue Mingcan come out of the backyard and greeted him. "Master, since... since that, the old slave has been in charge of the inner house. Do you think?"
Xue Mingcan said casually: "If you have something to do and don't know what to do, go and ask the lady."
