The Rich And Powerful Chang An - Chapter 16
Chapter 16
Soon after Xu Chang An returned home, someone told him about the matter that happened in imperial court today. Did not expect that Xu family’s retribution unexpectedly came so fast, Xu Chang An did not react for a short while.
“Young Master, they finally got retribution. Furen can rest in peace now. We must celebrate today Ah.” After hearing this news, the happiest person was Chunyu. She did not stop smiling in the afternoon, just thought about what Xu family was like now, she felt that she might be smiling all the way until the next year.
“Who told you that?” The affair of the imperial court, apart from Xiao Qing Yan, the rest of the people in this residence should not know so quickly. Where did this Chunyu Yatou get the news? Xu Chang An wholeheartedly only thought about his own peaceful days, not at all wanted to provoke Xiao Qing Yan. In the rich and influential family household, sending Yatou to another house to inquire about the matter, or frankly just pushed down the pile in another courtyard were the norms. Xu Chang An did not want to let Xiao Qing Yan to think that he pacified people at his (XQY) side.
“It was Zhu Guanjia’s son who told me. Right, I still don’t know what he is called.” ChunYu had checked through the people in this residence, who she needed to be careful. Besides the Guanjia, his son was also considered as one! That was because he was w.a.n.g Ye’s personal Xiaosi, afterwards would be w.a.n.g Residence’s guanjia ah. She had to have a good relations.h.i.+p with him, so that it would be good for young master.
“Understood. By the way, let’s talk about you all. Stop asking about things around w.a.n.g Ye’s side. When you all have nothing do to do here and feel bored, you can go out for a stroll. Your monthly silvers don’t have to be reserved, what you want to buy, just buy whatever. I know what I’m doing for your dowries, you all don’t have to save it by yourselves.” Xu Chang An did not concern about Guanjia’s son’s name, he was concerned about something else.
Chunyu and Dongxue had also reached the age of matrimony. Xu Chang An did not want to delay them. Although there would be less than two people at his side, but the flowering period of the girls must not be further delayed.
Speaking of her own affair, after all Chunyu was an unmarried young girl, her face was a little embarra.s.sed, but yet answered with great enthusiasm: “Young master, us nubi are not in a hurry, and and nubi cannot be at ease leaving young master, do not want to marry at all. Nubi wants to be unmarried like Yang Momo, always serves young master.”
Every time he talked about marriage with the two people, they all had this response. Xu Chang An didn’t want to continue to persuade them, he just paid attention to them. Their stances, he could only gave them to judge the people of w.a.n.g Residence, but the people of w.a.n.g Residence were all domestic servants. He always thought that they will be wronged, yet in accordance with their status, even finding a less good family was difficult. Xu Chang An was in a dilemma. In the end, he decided, whether the partners were found in w.a.n.g Residence or by his own hand, he let them judged people. In case of encountering a good character, then he would support to let them marry off. Their marriage partners, were considered his people. In the future, he would be able to take care of their whole life, worthwhile for the their wholeheartedly treating him since childhood, mutually protected.
“Understood, young master.” The established custom of the large, rich and influential family, Chunyu and them still knew a little, giving a clear-cut response.
Since the residence had Cefei, Xu Chang An had it a lot easier because Xiao Qing Yan had places to spend the night out, he could finally be able to sleep at ease.
Liked what Chunyu suggested to celebrate, the dinner was exceptionally extravagance today. Recalling the wine he drank on that day made him have a good night sleep, Xu Chang An ordered them to prepare the wine. When eating, Xu Chang An let the small yatous in the courtyard to go out, then made Yang Momo, Chunyu and Dongxue sat down together.
“w.a.n.g Fei, this is unaccepted!”
“What is accepted or unaccepted, weren’t we eating together at a table before? Today is a good day, as Chunyu said; let’s us celebrate ah. Momo, you don’t need to worry. I let the yatous guarded outside, it’s alright.” All along there were only bondservants stubborn no more than Master, Xu Chang An persisted. Several people scared witless could only sat down, but several people just sat down, Chunyu foolishly laughed ‘he he’ and took the lead to pour wine to each person.
Xu Chang An recalled that they were driven out by Xu Yongnian to Zhuangzi, he was still under fifteen years old. Chunyu and Dongxue were only twelve-thirteen years old girls. At the very beginning, the people in Zhuangzi would still afraid because of his status, their food and clothing expenditures were still tolerably well. After a while, those people knew that he was driven out of the house, so they were not afraid of him. Did not have to mention normal days, even on the New Year festival, there was nothing as good meal they could put on.
At that time, he was sometimes sick, even asked Momo and them several allowance at the time in Xu Family, it was very difficult to collect together silver of private savings, to buy his medicine.
“MomoChunYu, DongXueI offer a cup to you all. These years, luckily I have you all looking after me.” Otherwise, he did not even know whether he would be able to live up to this day, be able to see the day Xu Family had such a bad ending.
Xu Chang An’s words fell, then he emptied a cup in one gulp. Yang Momo and them nevertheless not dared to agree, they could only waved their hands in ‘I don’t deserve this’ gesture.
“Young Masteryou said like this but overwhelm nubis with special favours. You are the Master, this is what we should do, ah.”
“HaMasterWho said because you’re a Master, that what you should do, ah? That Liu s.h.i.+ is only a YiNiangthen wasn’t my mother her Master? That farmstead is my mother’s, that servants in the village are all my mother’s house slave. Am I not their Master? But what did they do? The human feelings cannot be fathom, but with a status able to manipulate.” Did not know if it was a taste of cherished desire accomplished, Xu Chang An’s face was calm but at the bottom of his heart, after all was stirred up. The wine was poured one after another, the words uttered out also few, many were scrupled.
Xu Chang An rarely drinkYang Momo did not know what capacity of alcohol her family’s Young Master could tolerate. A moment ago, Young Master really was continuously drank a few cups of wine, but this was not a strong wine, ah. And also, the wine cup was small, a few cups nothing more, how could Young Master resembling a drunk, ah?
“Young Masterbetter not patronizing in drinking wine, eat a bit of food, otherwise your stomach will be uncomfortable.”
“Yeah, Young Masteryour stomach originally is not well. Now unlike beforeI feel that we still have to seek a physician, let him take a good look at your body. After that, prescribe nutritious medicinal meals, what do you think?”
“Alrighty, don’t talk about these today. You all don’t patronizing me, you too eat, Ah.” Xu Chang An was truly happyknowing not to stop him, how much they too long dreaded at an earlier time for this day.
“Ha hayeahI’m truly very happy ah. Happy for Furen, then happy for Young Master!” When Xu Residence bought ChunYu and DongXue, they were only seven-eight years old. They had followed after Xu Chang An for quite a lot of years. These past years, their Young Master treated them well all along. They had never before saw which family’s Master treated the slave servants like this. Therefore, even if they suffered many hards.h.i.+ps because of Xu Chang An, their heart never resent Xu Chang An. Merely wished whichever day for G.o.d to see and able to let their Young Master to take revenge and wipe out a grudge.
Was the happiest person Chunyu? They, a few master and servants were all the same. ChunYu’s temper always leapt out, now without minding the appearance, continuously laughed heartily. The usually reserved Dongxue’s corners of the mouth also revealed a smiling expression all the way. Naturally, Xu Chang An was also the same, in his heart remembering his mother. In his hand had not stop, after drinking a cup after cup of winehe felt that, he never have been carefree like this in a long time.
Yang Momo was worried at firstseeing that there was no movement outside, she was also truly happy, then let go her nerves. Several people at the table usually did not drink wine, also did not know their own alcohol capacity limits, nor knew how drunk they could be. Only knew that the more they drank the more it suited their tastes, and the more they drank the more their body felt light. Although the head felt like floating but still very comfortable, then without scruple stood up and drinking a cup after cup of wine nonstop.
Xu Chang An dizzily drank, his body felt a little feverish, he wanted to go out to cool down in the cool breeze, but seemed to have heard someone greeting ‘w.a.n.g Ye’. Is it Xiao Qing Yan coming? He was exactly thinking of thanking Xiao Qing Yan, he came just in time.
Propping up both hands on the table, just stood up Xu Chang An then saw Xiao Qing Yan had already arrived at the door. Behind him seemed to be followed by many people, but it did not matter. He only wanted to talk to Xiao Qing Yan, nothing else. Whoever the people behind, all did not matter.
“Your Highness”
“Ah! Thisw.a.n.g Yewhat a scandalous thing they did Ah!” At the time of dinner, w.a.n.g Ye did not appear at her own courtyard. Min Yu guessed that w.a.n.g Ye was surely be at w.a.n.g Fei’s placethen made to attend w.a.n.g Fei’s dinner and called Qin Xin together to go to w.a.n.g Residence’s main courtyard. The two people did not expect to have meet Xiao Qing Yan halfway. Even more did not expect they came to w.a.n.g Fei here, to their surprise, would catch such a view.
This Xu Chang An unexpectedly drink with a group of slave servants until dead drunk! As a w.a.n.g Fei, actually put out with this type of ** things!
“Your HighnessYour Highness” Did not expect that he just thought of Xiao Qing Yan and Xiao Qing Yan appeared. Xu Chang An advanced towards that person, he was thinking of giving that person salutation to express his thanks. But when he was about to bend over his feeble legs, his entire person all thrown over at that person.
“Ah!”
“Whatever the scandalous loud roar and shout for!” Reaching out his hand to straightened the person who already leaning against his body, Xiao Qing Yan frowned and berated Min Yu at the side. The woman’s shrilled yells splintered his eardrums to ache.
“w.a.n.g Ye” Min Yu felt wronged, now this spectaclewhatever scandalous also not owing her anything ah! Unable to come with Xiao Qing Yan, she could only lose her temper towards the already drunk group of slave servant! The stirring in the inner room was not considered minor. When Chunyu and them dazely opened their eyes, only needed to see clearly the appearance of Xiao Qing Yan, soon frightened and half sobered up. Without losing time, they knelt down on the ground.
“Paying respect to w.a.n.g Ye!”
“You all, several bondservants have a big nerveActually dared to drink until dead drunk in the master’s inner room? Did you treat here the same as the Xu Residence, that neglect the established rules?” Nowadays, Xu Residence was already the joke of the entire capital. Now, not only Xu family members, even when Xu family’s bondservants went out, not willing to say to people that they work with Xu family.
Min Yu was exactly worried about not have a room to try find trouble for Xu Chang Annow that this ready-made reason was delivered to the doorstep, she simply spared no effort to restraint herself; the pleased look on her face was either restraining yet not restraining.
Xu Chang An was more severely drunk than Chunyu. Moreover, this was his courtyard, he did not fear of anything. Merely felt that today, though his body was somewhat hot, but felt as if floating in the air, very comfortable. With somewhat unsteady body, Xu Chang An subconsciously held tight on the person closer to him. On his lips, constantly murmured in whisper: “Your Highness, thank, thank you..”
Min Yu’s face looked pleased because the two people’s postures became rather twisted, she used to make little of Xu Chang An. Now looking at this appearance of Xu Chang An, her heart became more disdain! A big man, granted it was a married man, but still in the presence of all have no sense of shame hugging and embracing w.a.n.g Ye! Really shameless!
“w.a.n.g Yethese slave servants”
“Someone, come in!” Min Yu was about to say something, Xiao Qing Yan cut her words, she naturally closed her mouth, just waiting for Xiao Qing Yan to give the punishment to these unruly slave servants. Of course, including their master.
Slowly retreating to the side, Min Yu respectfully waiting for Xiao Qing Yan’s words, but she did not expect Xiao Qing Yan’s words to be completely different from what she thought.
“Put these few unruly slaves into the firewood shed! Everyone else will retreat.”
“But w.a.n.g Ye” Min Yu’s face was shocked and unwilling, how could it be, how could even a word not mention Xu Chang An! He was the master, the slave servants were so indulgent, why not punish him too?
“Did not hear what w.a.n.g saidRetreat!”
“w.a.n.g Ye”
“Yes, w.a.n.g Ye.” Qin Xin, who had followed without a word, was only able to answer Xiao Qing Yan, and took the initiative to pull Min Yu out with the crowd of yatou.
“w.a.n.g Fei’s drunk, go prepare hot water for w.a.n.g Fei to wipe the body.” After waiting for a group of people to leave, Xiao Qing Yan directly stood by the side, not saying anything. The already sleeping Xu Chang An was carried up horizontally, he trotted over towards the bedroom in the inner room.
Xu Chang An had felt that someone was talking continuously beside him, very noisy! After it suddenly became quiet, he slowly opened his eyes, and the time it was when Xiao Qing Yan put him on the bed.
“Your Highness, why did you come over?” Why did not go to the Cefei’s place, recalled that both Cefei were good-looking, and one was considerably quite pretty, ah.
Looking at the person who was in all seriousness asking about him, if it was not because of strong alcoholic smell laced with the question, and if it was not because of his gentle expression and tone in normal time were poles apart, Xiao Qing Yan almost thought that he was pretending to be drunk.
“w.a.n.g can’t come over?” Xiao Qing Yan always wanted to know what on earth was his own w.a.n.g Fei thought about him. When they got along these days, he could detect that his w.a.n.g Fei was not disgusted with him but also. not at all be interested in. Right, exactly not at all be interested in, no matter who he liked stayed overnight at his place, he was not at all be interested in.
Could it be, he did not know that in this w.a.n.g Residence, only to ingratiate yourself, you will be able to have a good life?
“Of course can, ah. ButI’m unable to serve you, you coming over will be a waste of a trip.” He was a man, holding ‘cough’ hands and sleeping next to even took up s.p.a.ce, it really did not have any meaning. Did not want to continue talking, Xu Chang An leaned over and closed his eyes. He felt that he should have a good night’s sleep.
“You” even ignores me? Xiao Qing Yan did not know if he should be angry or laughing! He really did not expect, he.. as it turned out he had a clear heart/mind.
“Nn” Xu Chang An, who turned over again, seemed to have been asleep. Because of the intoxication, his cheeks were like the red clouds on the horizon, the lip color looked much better than usual, no longer faint, there was a little bit of color.
In fact, Xiao Qing Yan knew clearly why Xu Chang An lost control of himself today. He also understood it, so he had no intention to blame him. However, so many people in the residence had seen it. Not punis.h.i.+ng w.a.n.g Fei, but must punished those servants, would do.
“You said to thank w.a.n.gthen you want”
“w.a.n.g Yehot water is here.”
“Nn, you wipe down w.a.n.g Fei’s body.” Pretending to take back his own hands as if nothing happened, Xiao Qing Yan sat aside, letting the incoming yatous to wipe down that person’s body, but when he looked at the yatou reached for the clothes of that person on the bed, his heart felt somewhat uncomfortable. He was his own w.a.n.g Fei, but now he was watching others undress for him. What did it look to him!
“Put the things down and go out.”
“Yes, w.a.n.g Ye.”
‘Humph! Since you have self-knowledge and know that you can’t serve me, then simply conduct yourself as w.a.n.g Fei honestly! Now going as far as to provoke inconvenience, even make me serve you!’ After giving someone a swipe, Xiao Qing Yan threw away the soft towel in his hand and looked at the person with half-undo clothes laid in the bed, heart hatefully grumbled.
