Chapter 10 Family Banquet Three

Xu Wanling is sensible and smart, so she is naturally grateful to Xu Wenhui from the bottom of her heart.
  Although it was just a word to Xu Wenhui, to her it was no less than a life-saving grace that changed her destiny.
  Aunt Zhang regarded her as an undercover agent sent by the eldest lady. She was always on guard and did not say anything, and even deducted her monthly meals.
  The eldest lady, Liang Churan, ignored all this and was just waiting to make a big fuss so that she could sue Aunt Zhang in front of the Marquis.
  Caught between two people, something will happen sooner or later.
  It's different when you get to the old lady's place. The old lady won't be harsh here, she is a serious little mistress.
  Just as Xu Wanling was about to stand up and say thank you, she saw Liang Churan looking over with an ugly expression. Her face suddenly turned pale and she stood there blankly, a little at a loss.
  Xu Wenhui doesn't care about Liang Churan's face, but she has no right or qualification to ignore it.

If I were to express my gratitude to Xu Wenhui, wouldn't that be a complete slap in the face to Liang Churan, calling her an unkind mother?

But the old lady gave her orders and she had to listen. In addition, she was really grateful to Xu Wenhui, so she gritted her teeth and squatted down to salute and say thank you.

Xu Wenhui naturally saw what was going on. He just accepted the friendship of this sister. There was no need for her to offend Liang Churan again, so he raised his hand and said:
  "Okay, get up. There's no point in thanking everyone as a family. Besides, I'm not doing it for you. I'm doing it for my grandma. I'm afraid that grandma will be lonely when Ronger is busy.

When you look back, you can spend more time with my grandma and make her healthy and happy. That is the best reward for me! "

Seeing this, Xu Wanrong quickly smiled and relaxed the atmosphere.

"Yes, yes, my eldest brother is still more thoughtful than me. Recently, my mother and I have learned to manage housework. It is true that the time to spend with my grandmother is not as convenient as usual. Ling'er moved here so that I can spend more time with my grandmother!

Ling'er, eldest brother has already said that people in the family don't need to salute, so get up quickly! "

As he said that, he stepped forward to help Xu Wanling.

Unexpectedly, Xu Wanling seemed to have figured it out. Instead of following the instructions of Xu Wenhui and Xu Wanrong, she stood up. Instead, her face became more solemn, and she saluted Xu Wenhui respectfully:

"It's the younger sister's duty to honor her grandmother on behalf of her elder sister. My elder brother loves and protects Ling'er, so Ling'er should express his gratitude!"

Xu Wanrong saw that Xu Wanling was so ignorant, disrespectful of her elders, and insisted on embarrassing her aunt, so she couldn't help but slowly retracted her hand halfway out, squeezed a smile and said nothing more,
  He just returned to his seat and shook his head slightly at Liang Churan, who was pretending to be calm but his eyes were about to burst into flames!

Seeing this, Xu Wenhui was even more impressed with Xu Wanling. It seemed that this little girl was quite principled. She would rather offend Liang Churan than say thank you.

In this case, he, the eldest brother, really has to fulfill his responsibilities as an older brother and look after his sister. He first told Xu Wanling to stand up, then turned to Xu Qingyun and said:

"Sister Ling is still young, and there aren't many people around her to help her. Moving will inevitably be a bit expensive. You can send someone to look after her later!
  Hmm... Let's just do this. Ling'er simply needs to stay in her grandmother's yard. She can't do it without a smart servant girl by her side. Otherwise, if she makes a mistake and collides with her grandmother, it will be unsightly.
  I'll go back and pick a mature and prudent person from our courtyard to come over and help me! "

Xu Qingyun naturally understood what Xu Wenhui meant, thought for a moment and then said:
  "Then let Mother Liu come over. Mother Liu is an old man in the house and she is the safest person!"

Xu Wenhui recalled Mother Liu's appearance and remembered that she was measured, so she nodded.

"Well, okay, you can look at the arrangements later!"

Old Mrs. Xu was a little impatient when she saw this. She has a more traditional personality and doesn't like Xu Wenhui's excessive involvement in the things in the backyard. It doesn't hurt to take care of some sisters occasionally. It's too much to take care of everything.
  Even with Xu Wanling, the concubine's daughter, she felt a little more disgusted. She felt that she was dragging Xu Wenhui's energy, so she coughed lightly and said:

"Okay, okay, let's talk about these little things later! Hui'er, don't be distracted by these things all the time. Your mother is there for these things in the backyard. Besides, with Wan'er helping you, nothing will happen. Big thing!” Mrs. Xu’s words somewhat saved Liang Churan’s face, and she gave Xu Wenhui a gentle nod.
  Xu Wenhui naturally understood and nodded in agreement!

Afterwards, the scene became relatively calm.

After dinner, wait for everyone to disperse,

Xu Wenhui stayed for a while longer, and the old lady inevitably said something more, that a man should focus on big things and not waste his mind on trivial things in the backyard and so on...

Xu Wenhui naturally understood what the old lady meant, so he followed the old lady's words and made repeated promises, and took the opportunity to talk about going south to the Sheng family in a few days.
  Although the old lady was a little unhappy, she was finally convinced by Xu Wenhui's great reasoning.
  After the old lady is tired,
  Xu Wenhui just said goodbye to the old lady.
  After coming out of Leshou Hall, Xu Wenhui saw Heishan and a few boys at the door. As he continued walking, he casually asked Heishan:

"Have all those things been sorted out?"

"Yes, sir, it has been taken care of. According to the past rules, each of the servants who participated in the hunting will be given five kilograms of meat, and the rest will be sent to the clan school!"

Xu Wenhui nodded slightly when he heard this, and without saying anything else, he led Xu Qingyun, Heishan and some other boys outside.

Heishan’s surname is Zhao.

Heishan and Xu Qingshan, who went to the Sheng family in the south, were Xu Wenhui's personal servants. They were also bought by Xu Wenhui during the famine in the same year.
  After all, Xu Qingshan still has his sister Xu Qingyun to depend on each other, guarding the soft bottom line in his heart. Zhao Heishan is a complete loner and an orphan.
  So unlike Qingshan who is calm and capable,

Heishan has a taciturn temperament. In addition, he has witnessed the darkness of human nature, including changing children and eating food during the famine years, and his personality is even colder. There is an indifference of death in his eyes, which makes people feel terrified.
  Faced with Xu Wenhui, who was kind to him, he still showed a ray of warmth. Looking at other people was like looking at a dead person.
  Xu Wenhui initially thought about changing his behavior. After all, he is a modern person and always feels that it is not normal for people to continue like this.

However, once a person's personality is formed, it is difficult to change it. Xu Wenhui is not a psychiatrist who can't enlighten him. Besides, apart from his cold temper, everything else about Montenegro is quite normal. Xu Wenhui no longer insists on it.

However, Montenegro's situation is not without its advantages, that is, it is very intimidating to the people under management.
  No matter what the matter is, as long as Montenegro is sent to supervise it, the matter will always be completed meticulously.

You must know that the Hou family has been passed down for several generations. Although the servants are not as arrogant and domineering as the Jia family in Dream of Red Mansions, there are also many old fritters who cheat and play tricks.

In addition, the relationships are intertwined and sometimes difficult to manage.
  Xu Wenhui can't do everything himself. It's much easier to have someone like Heishan.

Xu Wenhui originally wanted to go back to his self-cultivation hall, but after thinking about it, he decided to go and meet Xu Yaozu.
  No matter how unbearable this father is, it is not an ordinary thing to go out hunting. In addition, he has not seen him for a whole day. At least he should report it when he gets home.
  This is the most basic etiquette,
  Anyway, it’s just a face-to-face attitude to maintain the persona of a filial son, so it’s not tiring! Just treat it like clocking in from get off work.

So Xu Wenhui took the people directly to Zhongwu Hall!
