Chapter 520 Just a Beat Up
"Brother Mingxue, do I look like a fool? How could I possibly marry someone who treats me badly? Besides, how old am I? I'm not even eighteen. I don't care about these things. But you, you're already twenty-one. When will you find me a sister-in-law?"
Jiang Fubao rolled his eyes at him and immediately retorted.
"Hey, you're worrying about me now. What? Do you think I'm too old? Don't worry, I'll find you a sister-in-law this year. Don't worry."
The two of them fought back and forth like a pair of bickering enemies.
From time to time, laughter could be heard from the room, but the maid standing outside pretended not to hear it, just like a deaf person.
After dinner, it was already dark. Kong Mingxue settled the account and sent them to the door of Jiang's house. He watched them go in before turning back and going home.
"Where have you been?" Hearing the noise, Wan Xian walked out of the house. Her hair was loose and she was wearing a cloak with sleeping clothes underneath. She looked like she was getting ready to go to bed.
"I'm going to have dinner with Fubao. Mom, you're not asleep yet. I'll go wash up first." Kong Mingxue yawned and tears burst out.
"Tsk." She thought her son had a lover, so she rushed to see him as soon as she came back. But after a long time, she saw her daughter instead. Wan Xian glanced at him and went back to sleep.
"Young Master, you can go take a bath. The water is ready." The Kong family is rich, and their servants are also considerate.
Kong Mingxue didn't have to wait long before the bath water was ready.
The wooden tub for bathing was carried into the house by the servant.
The water inside was still steaming.
Kong Ming learned to take off his outer and inner clothes...
His tall and straight body like a pine tree was suddenly exposed. Although he often stayed in the house to read, Kong Mingxue's skin was not pale at all, but rather bronze in color, shining in the light of the candle.
His shoulders are broad, and his chest is very strong and his muscles are clearly visible when viewed from the side. At this time two years ago, he was still a fat man, but he has lost weight so quickly.
Now after dinner, I don’t have a bloated stomach anymore.
As he raised his arms to take off his clothes, he exuded a masculine aura from head to toe.
He doesn't look like a scholar at all, but rather someone who has practiced martial arts for many years.
"Remember to wash this handkerchief clean." The clothes fell to the ground and the handkerchief fell out from the sleeve.
Kong Mingxue picked it up, looked at it, and instantly recalled the afternoon.
There was a charcoal stove in the room, and a steaming bath tub, so it wasn't cold at all. After standing for a long while, he handed the towel to the servant, then stepped into the bath tub and sat down.
The hot water was squeezed by his body and surged upwards until it stopped at Kong Mingxue's chest.
"Phew, so comfortable." Kong Mingxue groaned, and the foul air he exhaled made all his fatigue of the day dissipate.
"Young Master, you're back. Please go down. I'll serve you here." At this moment, the door of the house was opened from the outside, and Lian Shun, the servant of Kong Mingxue, came in.
He was Kong Mingxue's personal servant and his status was far higher than those ordinary servants.
"Yes." The servant lowered his head, picked up the dirty clothes and handkerchief on the ground and left.
"Young Master, what's wrong with your hand?" Although Kong Mingxue was sitting in the bathtub, his right hand was resting on the edge of the bathtub. Lian Shun noticed that the knuckles from his index finger to his little finger were abnormally red, so he asked hurriedly.
"Oh, I just hit someone, it's okay." Kong Mingxue opened his eyes, looked at his hand, and smiled lightly.
"What? Beating people? Who dares to cause trouble with the young master? You must be blind!" Lian Shun exclaimed.
No matter what, our young master is still a scholar. He is a classmate and good friend of Mr. Bujiu from the county magistrate's family. Who else in the town dares to go against the young master?
Besides, the young master was never one to look for trouble, so he knew it must be the other party's fault without even asking.
"Hmph, just a fool." Kong Mingxue sneered without explaining.
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy the comfort brought by the bath.
Lian Shun on the side had no choice but to shut his mouth.
At that time, Jiang Fubao, who was already lying on the bed, was sitting on the bed in a daze.
At this time in the past, she was either reading or practicing calligraphy.
Xue Huan came back from downstairs to get water for washing feet, closed the door, and looked at her in confusion: "Miss, what are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it?"
"I was thinking about how to teach someone a lesson." After entering through the gate, they had to walk through the garden to reach the courtyard. The two sisters walked slowly for almost a quarter of an hour, because Jiang Wangyou told Jiang Fubao what happened in the afternoon.
So, Jiang Fubao was thinking about how to teach Qian Liangjie a lesson.
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Xue Huan asked again.
"Male." Jiang Fubao replied.
"Then beat him up, beat him hard, beat him until he cries bitterly." Xue Huan waved his chubby little fist and said with gritted teeth.
One of her front teeth had fallen out, so she had a lisp when she spoke. She didn't look scary at all, but rather funny.
"Okay, then I'll beat you up. I asked you to throw your teeth downstairs a few days ago. Did you do it?" Jiang Fubao turned his head, looked at her teeth, and tried not to laugh.
"It's lost. It's fallen into the soil. Xuehuan, please be good and listen to me." Xuehuan nodded several times immediately. The flesh on her chin trembled because she nodded too hard.
"That's good. Remember, you are in the period of changing teeth. If your upper teeth fall out, you should throw them downstairs so that your teeth will be straight again."
There is no scientific basis for this kind of thing. Jiang Fubao was just trying to coax a child.
Xuehuan loves beauty.
She had lost a tooth and would always look at herself in front of the mirror. Seeing her pouting mouth and drooping face, as if she was about to cry, Jiang Fubao had no choice but to divert her attention.
It’s really useful. Xuehuan no longer looks in the mirror because she’s looking forward to her new teeth growing out neatly and beautifully.
"Go to bed quickly. It's getting late. Turn off the candles." Jiang Fubao said and lay down. She turned over and faced outside.
"Okay, miss, huh——" Xue Huan blew out the candle, groped her way back to her little bed in the dark, covered herself with the quilt, put her feet on the warm hot water pot, and fell asleep comfortably.
A night passed and it was already noon.
There were no patients in the clinic at the moment, so Jiang Fubao took advantage of the free time to eat his meal while sitting on a chair.
"Miss, I found him. He just left the shop and went to a tavern through a small path. He is sitting inside drinking. It looks like he won't leave until at least the afternoon." Halfway through the meal, Pan Shitou came back in a hurry.
"Okay, no rush. Go eat first. The clinic will close early today. Shitou, you and Erya come with me to settle the score with him."
Jiang Fubao's eyes became a little more stern.
She held the chopsticks tightly and chewed the food in her mouth vigorously.
It's like gnawing at Qian Liangjie's bones.
Time flies.
After sending away the three patients, the door of the clinic was closed.
The maid returned to Jiang's house first, and the servants stayed in the backyard of the clinic.
Jiang Fubao and the other two went straight to the tavern.
