Chapter 156: Scheming Boy

Tang Qingshan nodded, stood up and glanced at his daughter.

Xinbao was waiting with bright eyes, looking forward to it.

The old father was so adorable with her little eyes that he lowered his head expressionlessly, kissed her forehead, and then turned and left.

After his father left, the second elder brother sat down on the stool and nodded at the milk dumpling: "Dad and mom are also my brother's parents, why can't they support my brother?"

Tuanzi said: "Because Xinbao can be touched."

Poof! The second brother laughed: "Xinbao is jealous? Little Choubao, I am your biological brother, we are both our parents' children, why are you jealous of me?"

The little girl looked at him with a confused look in her eyes, "You don't want to be touched?"

"No," the second brother said with a smile, "Dad and Mom are so good to Xinbao, I'm not jealous."

Tuanzi was stunned, his eyes wide open: "Then, then Xinbao is a bad boy?"

"No," Yan Shenjue, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Even brothers and sisters would want more love from their parents. This is human nature and there is nothing wrong with it. Xinbao is not a bad child."

"But Xinbao just doesn't want to eat!" The big eyes of the milk ball rolled around: "How about this, when Daddy and Mommy are nice to me, Xinbao pretends not to eat and eats it secretly?"

The second brother couldn’t stop laughing.

Yan Shenjue took her bowl away, then he turned the dumpling back and said quietly: "I am only good to Xinbao."

Xinbao was happy, hugged his neck, and kissed him twice: "My wife is ready!"

Second brother: “……???”

No, I'm just joking. Isn't it a bit too scheming for you to say this at this time?

He looked at him speechlessly.

Yan Xiaolang didn't even look at him. He took the hot handkerchief handed to him by Taiping and wiped Tuanzi's mouth.

The second elder brother was speechless. He held his forehead and changed the subject: "Where is Second Uncle Yuan?"

Yan Shenjue said: "I don't know."

It was Taiping who was standing next to him who answered: "The second master has gone to pick the shed."

Before he finished speaking, Master Yuan came back.

Mr. Yuan Er is actually over fifty years old, but he has a baby face and looks like he is only middle-aged.

He strode in with a look of indignation on his face.

The second brother stood up and said with a smile: "Second uncle, what's going on?"

"Don't mention it!" Master Yuan said angrily, "I've looked at all these sheds, and none of them are good! I told Yaogui that I would choose a place and he would help me build another one, but Yaogui refused! He said that it would be troublesome to level the mountain if we build it again, and told me to make do with what I have... What nonsense! What's the problem with leveling the mountain? How can you make do with growing herbs? Can you grow anything if you make do with what you have? Growing herbs requires the right time, right place, and right people! Does he understand? He's clearly just trying to fool me!"

He put his hands on his hips and turned around in circles: "I'm so angry, I'm so angry..."

When Master Yuan Er got angry, he spoke very quickly and violently, and Xinbao didn't understand anything he said.

The second elder brother smiled and said, "Second Uncle Yuan, don't be angry yet. How about this? My family still has a few plots of land where we just harvested cotton. Can you go and see if there is anything suitable?"

Yan Shenjue said calmly, "Don't pay attention to him. No matter what kind of land you give him, he will find faults because he doesn't know how to plant it and it won't survive. He's also lazy and doesn't want to plant it. This is a problem with the person, not the land."

Master Yuan: “…”

He pointed at him angrily, and then pointed at him again, and finally he grabbed his second brother's hand: "Rong'er! Don't let your sister play with him! He will lead Xinbao astray!!"

This sentence really hits the nail on the head.

The handsome young boy raised his eyebrows, "Uncle, isn't what I said the truth? There are many people in this world who can grow medicinal herbs without the right time, right place, and right people... So your so-called right time, right place, and right people are actually just an excuse."

He was clearly plotting against him, and as he spoke, he gently covered Tuanzi's mouth.

As expected, Master Yuan Er took the bait without any preparation: "That's easy for you to say! Why don't you call one out for me to see!"

Yan Shenjue said: "What if I really screamed out? What can you do?"

Master Yuan waved his hand with great momentum: "If you really scream it out, I will...you tell me first!!"

It can be said that the most cautious words are said in the most heroic manner.

Yan Shenjue said: "If there really is such a person, in the future, if she wants any medicine you can refine, you must refine it for her. You must refine as much as she wants, and you are not allowed to shirk or be lazy for any reason."

Master Yuan touched his nose and said, "No, this is unreasonable! First of all, this kind of herb...what if a blind cat catches a dead mouse? If he grows only one herb from beginning to end, I still have to help him refine medicine, am I stupid?"

"That's it," Yan Shenjue said, "From now on, any medicine you want, as long as you can provide the seeds, he can grow it for you. As long as more than half of the medicine she grows survives and can grow to a usable level, you will refine a medicine for each herb she wants."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Master Yuan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. If there really is someone who is so good at planting, he can help me plant and I can help him refine. That's pretty good! I won't suffer any loss, right? Rong'er, can you help me think about whether I'm suffering any loss?"

The second brother held his forehead silently, not knowing whether to answer.

Yan Shenjue asked: "So, do you agree or not?"

Master Yuan thought about it carefully again and waved his hand: "Deal!!"

He looked at him: "Where is he?"

Yan Shenjue said: "I didn't say anyone was here."

Master Yuan: “…”

Yan Shenjue just took the opportunity to trick him and had no intention of letting Xinbao take action right now.

After all, the greenhouse has not been dried yet, so there is no need to rush. If I tell him now, Master Yuan will definitely not wait a moment and will let Xinbao plant the seeds, which will be very annoying. It is better to wait until the secret can no longer be concealed.

The next day, Brother Yuan went to Tang's house after breakfast.

Xinbao hadn't gotten up yet when the Shen family's carriage arrived. Mr. Shen came in person and brought gifts.

Big Brother Yuan greeted him with a smile, and the two sat down and exchanged a few words. Then he took out the pen and ink and wrote the deed on the spot. Big Brother Two did not mention asking Tang Qingshan to come back, and Master Shen did not mention it either, so he just let Big Brother Two sign his name.

As soon as the contract was signed, Mr. Shen asked An Shun to move two large pots of flowers from the car and said, "I'll leave these two pots of flowers in your care. You can keep them in the pots, move them out, or use cuttings. It's all fine as long as they can survive..."

The second brother took a few glances.

He didn't know what kind of flower this was, but it looked like it was almost dead, if not completely dead, as its leaves were almost all gone.

But this is also expected. If the flowers are not about to die, there is no need for them to send them over.

The second brother said, "We will do our best."

Master Shen nodded and said, "Then I will send Anshun to check every three days."

After a bow from both sides, he got on the carriage and left.
