I

When Mr. Lou returned to his courtyard, Dongfu had prepared dinner.

Fei Rulan was in a daze, feeling frightened and frightened, but also filled with the joy of surviving the disaster.

However, Fei Rumei was young and only knew two or three points of truth, but she had already returned to her usual liveliness.

Fei Ruhe held back his anger, clenched his fists and said, "Mom, if you do what I want, I will beat all those evil slaves half to death..."

"Shut up, you have no business talking here!"

Mr. Lou immediately stopped and said to Mo Xiang, "Call Brother Han to come and have dinner with us."

"Yes." Mo Xiang exited the dining room.

Lou suddenly asked her eldest daughter: "Are you so obedient that you will die as soon as I am told to?"

Fei Rulan lowered her head and said, "My grandfather has hinted many times over the past year. Today he made it clear that my daughter... my daughter was just afraid, and she committed suicide in a daze."

"Since you have hinted it many times, why don't you tell me, why don't you tell your father?" Mrs. Lou was so angry that she slammed the table, "If Xiyue is slower to return to the room, and I don't have time to save you, what I have to eat now will not be hot food. !The old guy’s brain is broken, so yours is also broken?”

Fei Rulan held the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if counting the threads there, and did not dare to look at her mother. She explained: "Afterwards... my daughter also figured it out. Although I had a marriage contract with that person, he is him and I am me. His family has returned the marriage certificate and we no longer have anything to do with each other. If my daughter shows partiality, she will die. Showing it to others will not benefit you at all, it will only make your parents sad. My daughter will never do such stupid things again."

"It's good if you can figure it out." Ms. Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. What she feared most was that her daughter would get into trouble.

"Don't even move your chopsticks, wait until I come back!"

Lou returned to his bedroom and quickly got a list.

After a while, Mo Xiang also brought Zhao Han over.

"Greetings, madam, I've met the two young ladies." Zhao Han clasped his fists and saluted.

Mr. Lou smiled and said softly: "You have worked hard for a long time, so you must be hungry. Sit down and eat together."

"Thank you, madam." Zhao Han did not refuse and sat down very casually.

Lou called to Mo Xiang again: "Don't leave, take this thing."

Mo Xiang took the list and asked curiously: "Madam, what is this?"

While picking up food for Zhao Han, Mrs. Lou explained: "The old man is the most shameless. I'm afraid he won't let it go if he loses his face this time. The people on this list were all released from Jingxingyuan. You Go to Haosheng to make arrangements and bring them back as soon as possible!"

"Yes." Mo Xiang took the order and was about to leave.

Just as he was about to step out of the room, he suddenly heard Mr. Lou say: "After this is done, I will have someone escort you to Suqian. The eldest young master is an official and needs someone to take care of him. He must have someone to serve him tea. If you can After you give birth to a son, I will give you the concubinage documents."

Mo Xiang trembled all over, turned back excitedly, and kowtowed to Mr. Lou.

"Go ahead." Lou waved.

Mo Xiang stood up and left, not talking nonsense the whole time, and went to work wholeheartedly.

Lou asked Zhao Han again: "Do you know why I called everyone back?"

Zhao Han picked up his rice and replied: "The old man has suffered a loss, and he cannot vent his anger openly, so he will inevitably anger Jing Xingyuan's servants. Moreover, he cannot interfere in Jing Xingyuan's affairs, so he can only take action in Fei's various properties. Big The people released by the young master are all working in various industries. If the old master makes things difficult for a long time, they will definitely become alienated over time. They will either resent the wife for not being able to make decisions for them, or they will simply give up and join the old master. "

"That's good," Lou suddenly asked her son, "Can you understand the truth here?"

Fei Ruhe was eating with his mouth full of oil. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I understand. Brother Han and I have the same idea."

Lou smiled and said: "Then let me ask you, Brother Han is facing a dilemma today. Why did you ask you to chase me back personally, and specifically asked you to bring Fei Chun with you instead of just sending a few slaves?"

"This..." Fei Ruhe thought carefully and replied, "Fei Chun and I must have good feet and can run faster than ordinary slaves!"

Mr. Lou was too lazy to look at his son again: "Brother Han, tell him separately."

Zhao Han explained: "If the young master doesn't leave, those evil slaves will definitely not dare to break into the inner courtyard again. If they don't break into the inner courtyard, we will have no reason to detain people. Not to mention the losses from the beginning to the end, the other party will definitely take advantage of it, and there will be trouble in the future." There will be more things. The young master is gone so that we can lure them into a trap. Hit them with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches."

"Do you understand?" Lou asked.

Fei Ruhe scratched his head, feeling that his brain was not enough, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."

Lou asked again: "Where is Fei Chun?"

Zhao Han continued to explain: "Mrs. Ling... Ling's side might be disobedient. She was indeed disobedient. When I sent people to block the door, Ling wanted to go out to report the news, but I almost kept her under house arrest. If If you don’t send Fei Chun away, treating his mother like this will inevitably hurt the brotherhood.”

Lou asked: "Do you understand?"

Fei Ruhe muttered: "How can I not be as winding and twisting as you are?"

Mr. Lou asked again: "Why do you dare to take matters into your own hands and openly detain the evil slaves of Gongbei Garden?"

Zhao Han replied: "Of course I wouldn't dare if it were anyone else who made the decision. But the lady is the one who calls the shots here. With my temper and methods, how can I bear this bad breath? Therefore, it is not that I detain people without authorization, but that I Detain someone for Madam."

Lou asked her son, "Do you understand?"

Fei Ruhe stopped talking completely and just buried his head in picking up the rice, as if he was trying to stuff his head into the bowl.

Fei Rulan also learned everything about today from the maid's mouth. It was only at this moment that she understood many of Zhao Han's intentions, and her big eyes stared at Zhao Han non-stop.

As for Fei Rumei, she is a foodie and doesn't care what everyone is saying.

When the meal was almost finished, Mr. Lou suddenly asked: "Brother Han, are you fifteen this year?"

Zhao Han said: "I am fifteen years old."

Lou changed the topic: "There will be no boy exam next year. You must pass the scholar exam the year after that!"

"Try your best." Zhao Han said.

"It's not about trying your best. You must pass the exam. It will be bad if you delay it any longer." Mr. Lou repeatedly emphasized time.

Zhao Han looked up at Lou, then at Fei Rulan, and pretended he didn't understand: "Try your best."

"Alas." Lou sighed.

Fei Ruhe was still eating, it was already his fifth bowl, and he had no idea what his mother was talking about.

Fei Rulan's face turned red with embarrassment. She glanced at Zhao Han and quickly lowered her head to avoid him.

After finishing the meal, Zhao Han resigned.

Looking at Zhao Han's leaving figure, Mrs. Lou said to her daughter: "Although he is three years younger than you and has a low status, he is someone you can rely on. When he becomes a scholar, he will change his name back to his original name. It would be good if he can recruit a wife." Yes. But looking at him like that, I’m afraid he doesn’t want to get married, so you can go live your own life.”

"Mom, my daughter won't marry." Fei Rulan became increasingly embarrassed.

Lou smiled and asked, "Don't you like him?"

Fei Rulan shook his head: "No, it's just..."

"Then it's settled," Mrs. Lou laughed and scolded, "This little brat is very clever and cunning. I still have to work hard to convince him!"

"I listen to my mother." Fei Rulan said and left, her face so red that she almost had a fever, and her heart was pounding.

Before this meal, Fei Rulan had no special feelings for Zhao Han.

But after Mr. Lou asked her about the relationship, she immediately had many thoughts. Not to mention contacting Zhao Han in person, she felt very shy just thinking about it.

Fei Ruhe was stunned: "Zhao Han... my sister... they..."

Lou sighed and said, "What else? Ru Lan is too old and she is the widow of a loyal minister who died for her country. How can any decent family be willing to get married? Even if some people are willing, I'm afraid they have ulterior motives. It would be better not to marry at all."

Fei Ruhe couldn't accept it and said: "He is my brother, he is younger than me, how can he be my brother-in-law?" The guy rolled his eyes, "Why don't you be my brother-in-law, so that I can also have face."

Fei Rumei was young and shameless, and clapped her hands and said: "Okay, okay, I will marry Brother Han when I grow up."

"Nonsense," Mrs. Lou raised her chopsticks to hit her and yelled, "You don't have any serious ideas. Get out of here!"

Fei Ruhe hugged his head and ran away, feeling very aggrieved. What the hell is a brother turning into a brother-in-law?

Zhao Han went back to lie on the bed, also very confused.

To be honest, Fei Rulan was quite beautiful and could be called Bai Fumei, but she was still a little reluctant to marry him as his wife.

As for why he was reluctant, Zhao Han himself didn't know.

Two words, hypocritical!

While he was thinking wildly, Fei Chun suddenly knocked on the door.

After opening the door, Fei Chun knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, brother, for interceding for my mother, otherwise my mother would have been beaten to death. It is a great kindness, and I will definitely repay my brother in the future."

Zhao Han laughed loudly: "Brothers, what are you talking about? Get up quickly."

Fei Chun was still kneeling, holding a wine jar in his arms. He raised it high and said, "This is my father's private collection of wine. It has been for several years and I have been reluctant to drink it. I brought it today to honor my brother. Please don't refuse." You must accept it.”

"Then I'll accept it. Let's have a drink some other time." Zhao Han helped him up, patted Fei Chun on the shoulder and told him, "Go back and take care of your mother. She was beaten badly this time."

Fei Chun seemed to be more sensible. He bowed and said, "Brother, I'll leave first. I'll let you know if you have any instructions from now on."

(Thank you to Demon Sword Wanhua, thank you to Wardrobe Guest Bald Song, thank you two brothers for being the leader of the alliance, and thank you to other brothers for their rewards. Thank you, Lao Wang!)
