Chang'an, the eldest son of Bin Ju, was named by the Madam Tai. He is one year older than Jing'er. He looks like Wan Daxian, with square eyebrows and eyes, but his skin is a bit dark. Compared with children of the same age, he is tall. He pursed his lips and held his three-year-old brother Changshun tightly, looking a little nervous. He was not as lively as when he came to greet Shiyi Niang before.

"What's going on?" Shiyi Niang smiled and waved for Chang'an and Changshun to come over. "Last year, he followed Suifeng to feed the birds, but this year he doesn't say a word!"

She is very busy every Chinese New Year. Binju, Amber and others will wait until the 18th day of the first lunar month or after the Lantern Festival to pay their respects to Eleventh Lady. Because of Changshun, Binju always brings her two children with her every time she comes.

"He usually follows his father-in-law around, picking firewood, spreading fertilizer and catching insects in the forest. He is becoming more and more dull." Bin Ju touched her son's head and gently instructed him, "Why don't you go and kowtow to the lady?"

Chang'an blushed and took Changshun to kowtow to Shiyi Niang, but Shiyi Niang stopped him: "We've already greeted you, no need to kowtow again." Then she gave a handful of candies to the two brothers and said softly, "Do you want to go to the garden to play with Suifeng?" But her eyes fell on Changshun who was beside Chang'an.

The child was a little thin, but his face was white with a hint of red, his eyes were bright and lively, and he was full of energy. It was obvious that Bin Ju was very concerned about this child.

Changshun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at his brother with wide eyes, looking like he really wanted to go.

Changan hesitated for a moment, shook his head gently at Changshun, then looked up at Shiyi Niang. Although he was a little embarrassed, he said in a loud and clear voice: "In reply to Madam, my brother and I will stay here with mother."

Eleventh Lady was a little surprised.

Maybe because he grew up in a farm, Changan liked to play in the back garden of Xu's house, especially in Suifeng's garden, where there were many small animals. Every time he came, he would stay there for a long time, and only followed his mother back reluctantly when Binju called him.

Bin Ju thought of Chang Shun, thinking that Shiyi Niang had something to say to her. Although Amber was beside her, she still supported her son: "Since Madam asked you to go, you should go! Just remember not to play with Sui Feng, and keep an eye on your brother, don't let him break the Sixth Young Master's things."

After hearing this, Chang'an responded meekly with a "yes", and took his brother to pay his respects to Eleventh Lady, then followed the maid out of the room.

Eleventh Lady asked a maid to bring a stool for Binju to sit on. She asked her about the birth, whether the pregnancy was going well, and talked about her parents.

Binju immediately knew that she had misunderstood.

The lady was simply afraid that the child would feel uncomfortable in her presence.

She immediately felt uneasy.

The Madam treats them kindly because she is kind. If they do not know what is good for them and think they can act cool in front of their master, others will not only laugh at the Madam for her incompetence in governing, but will also laugh at them for being frivolous and not knowing their own limitations.

I have to find time to call the two children back.

The son grew up in the mountains and forests, and although he was very good at taking care of the birds and dogs, the things raised in the Xu family's back garden were, after all, the Sixth Young Master's things. It would be bad to move them casually without the Sixth Young Master's approval.

While I was thinking, I heard Jing'er's curious voice coming from outside the window: "Aren't you Chang'an? Why are you standing under our eaves?"

Eleventh Lady also heard it.

No one expected that the two children did not go to the back garden, but stood under the eaves. Everyone pricked up their ears to hear what Chang'an would answer.

For a moment, the inner room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"My mother is here to pay her respects to Madam." Chang'an spoke in a calm and clear voice, "Madam is talking to my mother. We will wait for her here." After that, he was silent for a moment and then said, "Sixth Young Master, I pay my respects to you!"

Eleventh Lady turned sideways and looked out the window, and saw Chang'an and Changshun coming to pay respects to Jing'er.

Jin Ge'er didn't care that Chang'an was bowing to him, and happily pulled Chang'an's hand: "You came at the right time! My seventh brother and I were just thinking about playing Cuju, my fourth brother and father are out, and my fifth brother wants to practice calligraphy. Come and play with us!" As he said that, he was about to pull Chang'an away.

Changan shook off Jing'er's hand, and stubbornly finished the unfinished ceremony, saying, "I don't know how to play Cuju. Let me pick up the ball for you, young master!"

Jin Ge'er opened his eyes wide when he heard this: "Why don't you know how to play Cuju again? Didn't you play Cuju with me last time you came here?" He said with a look of realization, "You must have gone home without playing Cuju, so you forgot! It doesn't matter, I'll send you off when you leave later. You can practice at home in the future, and when you come to greet my mother next time, you can play Cuju with me." The more he talked, the more he felt that his idea was good. After he finished speaking, he immediately ordered Huang Xiaomao beside him, "Go, get a Cuju for Chang'an!"

Chang'an was stunned.

Huang Xiaomao responded and left.

Chang'an looked at Huang Xiaomao's back with a twitching mouth, but in the end he said nothing and gently thanked Jing'er.

Jinger said, "Now you can go play Cuju with us, right?"

Changan still shook his head gently: "Sixth Young Master, I want to wait here for my mother to come out!"

"Just let the little maid tell it!" Jing'er said impatiently.

Changan added: "I also want to take care of my brother!"

Jinger called out to Ajin who was following behind him, "Help Changan take Changshun with him!" Then he said, "Hurry up, my seventh brother is still waiting in the back garden!"

Changan once again broke free from Jinger's hand: "I, I can't go!"

Jing'er opened his eyes wide and looked at Chang'an in shock.

This was the first time in his life that someone rejected him like this.

Changan lowered his head.

Changshun was frightened by Jing'er and hid in his brother's arms.

Changan hurriedly hugged Changshun to comfort him.

"Madam, this child has been taught by my father-in-law to be a bit stubborn!" Bin Ju, who was standing by the kang and looking around, blushed with shame and said apologetically, "I'll go talk to him right away."

Eleventh Lady looked at it and her heart moved. She waved her hand at Binju: "No need!" She wanted to see what would happen in Chang'an later.

"You, you, you..." Jing'er was so angry that his face turned purple, "I invited you, but you didn't want to play with me..." He walked around angrily for a long time, questioning Chang'an, "Are you going or not?"

He looks like he's trying to save you if you don't go.

Chang An whispered, "My grandfather said that when you come to pay your respects to the Madam, you must follow the rules. You can't look around or run around..."

Jin Ge'er didn't care about all that. Without waiting for Chang'an to finish his words, he stared at him and asked, "Are you going or not?" His face looked very unhappy.

Mother once said that when meeting the Sixth Young Master, one must be respectful!

Chang'an's expression became a little hesitant.

Jing'er had already jumped up and shouted at Liu Erwu, "Tie him up and give him ten lashes! Let's see if he still obeys!"

Not to mention Liu Erwu, even everyone in the room was stunned by his words.

Bin Ju hurriedly said, "Madam, I'm going to apologize to the Sixth Young Master!"

Eleventh Lady stopped her again: "Let the children deal with their own affairs. We, as adults, should not interfere!" She still sat there watching.

Binju looked at Amber for help.

Amber didn't know what Shiyi Niang meant, and helplessly spread her hands towards Binju.

Bin Ju didn't dare to say a word, and stood beside Shiyi Niang, watching anxiously.

Liu Erwu was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses. He winked at Huang Xiaomao, responded loudly, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and shouted: "Tell you not to listen to our Sixth Young Master!"

Huang Xiaomao also understood.

This was under the Madam's roof. If the Madam heard the noise, she would definitely come out to see what was going on. The Madam would naturally decide how to deal with the situation.

He rolled up his sleeves like Liu Erwu and shouted, "Our Sixth Young Master asked you to play with him, which was a compliment to you, but you dared not to listen. We will tie you up and give you ten spankings."

Worry leads to confusion.

Bin Ju couldn't help but blame her father-in-law in her heart.

What's the point of talking to Chang'an all day long? Isn't it the duty of a servant to play with the young master? If the ten boards were really beaten... When she thought about it, her heart felt like a knife was piercing her. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she glanced at the figure of the lady and didn't dare to let them fall.

Amber looked at her, tiptoed over, pulled Binju's sleeve, pointed at Shiyi Niang who was sitting cross-legged on the kang and looking out, waved her hand, and smiled silently.

There was some confusion in Binju's eyes.

Amber looked on and sighed.

This beach daisy lacks some spirituality from head to toe.

She could only whisper in his ear: "How could Madam watch Chang'an get beaten?"

These words woke Bin Ju up from his dream. He took a long breath and finally felt relieved. He stood on tiptoe and looked outside in the direction of Shiyi Niang.

Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu made a scene for a long time, but there was no movement in the main room. The two of them could not help but get anxious, but they did not dare to disobey Jin Ge'er's order. They stepped forward and twisted Chang'an's arm, whispering: "Just admit your mistake! The Sixth Young Master is not a person who does not understand reason!"

Chang'an looked a little uneasy. Changshun hugged his brother's waist and started crying. While crying, he kicked Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu: "Don't bully my brother, don't bully my brother!"

Fortunately, Chang Shun was spoiled by Bin Ju and did not have much strength, otherwise Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu would not have been able to tie him up, and he would have been beaten first.

Changan hurriedly shouted to his brother: "Don't hit anyone! Otherwise I will never take you out to play again!"

Changshun burst into tears.

Jing'er looked at Chang'an, whose arm was twisted by Huang Xiaomao and Liu Erwu, and then looked at Changshun who was crying non-stop, and showed hesitation: "You, if you promise to play with me, I won't let them beat you with a stick!" His tone sounded a little guilty.

Although Chang'an is the son of a servant, the Yongping Marquis's Mansion is well-known. Wan Daxian is a respectable steward in the mansion. His mother Binju served Shiyi Niang. His second uncle is a steward in the Xu family's Baoding farm and married the niece of Zhao, the steward of the Huichu. His aunt is a maid in Xu Sijie's house. Moreover, the Wan family has always been humble and tolerant, and is very popular with everyone. He walked out more respectable than the children of ordinary families. How could he be treated like this before! He was a little scared.

"My grandfather won't let me play with the young master!" He murmured, "He said that there should be respect between superiors and subordinates, and the rules must not be broken... Without rules, there will be no order..." Repeating his grandfather Wan Yizong's words, his mind gradually became firm, "I'll help the young master pick up the ball!"
