Chapter 27 Output to the Little Devil Riding on His Face
Xu Wan felt that the little devil's behavior of "praising himself and stepping on her at the same time whenever he got the chance" was very childish.
The butler Zhai didn't give Zong Jincheng any face at all. He might have some secret behind this that he didn't want others to investigate, so he left in a hurry.
But she doesn't care about these. The first taboo in the workplace is not to worry about things that don't concern you. Educating the little devil is her most important task at the moment.
Xu Wan called out, "Cuizhi, go and bring over the food and drinks from our carriage, as well as some clothes and fabrics. Oh, and take down the curtains of the carriage, because I think the curtains are so broken that they can't even block the wind."
"yes."
Cuizhi quickly brought all the things and handed them to the two young masters.
The two brothers were busy changing their beds while looking for a ladder to move the carriage curtains to the shed, all without any help from anyone else.
——At Xu Wan's signal, the servants all retreated far away.
Zong Wenxiu had a hard life since childhood, and he always managed to do all the dirty and tiring work ahead of Zong Jincheng.
Zong Jincheng also rolled up his sleeves and worked so hard that he was sweating profusely. This time he didn't care about the dirt and worked harder than his half-brother, moving the ladder with his little hands.
Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and thought: Could it be that Wen Xiu's praise just now gave this kid an incentive?
The shed was quickly repaired; the boys are always good at this sort of thing.
However, the carriage curtains were large green ornate draperies, which looked very discordant with the shabby roof.
Cuizhi's lips twitched as she reminded him, "Madam, why don't we send someone to get them a different windshield tomorrow? You and the two young masters will be riding in a carriage back home later, and it will be very cold in a carriage without a curtain."
Xu Wan was indeed a person who was afraid of cold, so she wrapped herself up thickly inside and out whenever she went out. The two young boys were in high spirits, and either of them could resist the cold better than her.
She smiled and said, "It's okay, just wrap your cloak tighter."
Xu Wan had a hard time in the welfare home when she was a child. She was often hungry and cold like the others, but fortunately, she had many warm brothers and sisters around her, which gave her comfort.
Zong Jincheng came down from the ladder and took a step back to admire his masterpiece. He gave himself a perfect score with great satisfaction: "A! A top-notch A!"
Xu Wan: “…”
This boy is so narcissistic!
You have performed the whole show alone!
He was surprised to see that his house had also been repaired, and he thanked them repeatedly with gratitude.
My sister also helped pour a few bowls of water and invited them to come in to drink. Jing Jing saw this and quickly said, "Take it back home quickly, they don't want to drink the water here."
My sister was so frightened that she stepped back, tears about to fall.
People in the slums often get sick and the water is not clean, but they are from poor families and cannot find decent jobs outside, so they can only be trapped and die here from generation to generation.
Zong Wenxiu knew all this, and he didn't really mind it. But his younger brother had been spoiled since he was a child, and he was afraid that he would get hurt if he drank here, so he came up to stop him.
The little devil wanted to say it was okay, but he glanced at the black bowl and swallowed his words back into his stomach.
never mind!
He should just be a noble young master!
While several people were talking at the door, Xu Wan was also outside the street asking people to prepare to return home.
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the street.
"Drive! Get out of the way!"
"There are still few people on this street! No one cares how dirty you make it!"
"Wuhu! This precious horse really runs fast!"
"Brothers, go for it! I will definitely take first place today!"
Several young boys in fancy clothes rode their horses recklessly in the street, kicking over countless dilapidated stalls.
Debris flew everywhere, making the already impoverished streets even worse, and the sound of wailing was everywhere.
"Here it comes again! Here it comes again!"
"These young men from aristocratic families want to drive us to death!"
"Oh my God! Are you going to let us live?"
No one responded to the poor people's cries, and all that could be heard was the young boys' even more arrogant laughter:
"Zhai Yao, why are you pulling out that flagpole? It's so dirty!"
"It's fun, throw it away right away, watch me!"
“Puff——”
The dirty flagpole that was thrown into the air fell from the sky and stuck right into the roof of the Jingzhen family's house. With a "swish", it was inserted into -
The carriage curtain that the little devil just put up with his own hands...
It's rotten.
Zong Wenxiu's eyes widened.
Finished!
My brother must be so pissed!
Xu Wan also suspected that she had seen it wrong. How could there be anyone in the capital city who dared to confront the little devil and make a move?
Little Devil: “????”
What just flew by?
Who used the flagpole to destroy his roof?
Who did it? Who did it?
Who the hell did this!
"Shunzi, draw your sword! I'm going to fight them today!" Zong Jincheng's eyes were blazing with anger, he lost all his rationality, and struggled to rush out.
"Sir, please slow down..." Shunzi hurriedly caught up.
However, the other group of people were riding fast, and by the time they ran out, there was no one left, only broken pieces of debris filling the streets.
Shunzi pulled Zong Jincheng, who wanted to kill someone, and reminded him tremblingly: "Sir, it seemed that those young masters Zhai Yao and others just now... If you want an explanation, you can go back and ask for it..."
"Zhai Yao again?" Hearing this name for the second time today, the furious Zong Jincheng suddenly froze in place, almost doubting his ears, and asked uncertainly: "Are you sure it's them?"
In this huge capital city, there are four noblemen who cause the most headaches to the elders.
The first one is Zong Jincheng of the Yuanyang Marquisate, who spends money like water and is always making trouble and ruining the family. The second one is Zhai Yao, the eldest son of the Weiyuan Earlate, who is always involved in fights and is always disobedient to his elders.
"Is he Zhai Yao, the three-year-old foot-washing maid that Butler Zhai just mentioned and who is listed as one of the four dandies in the capital along with you?" Xu Wan finally remembered the name.
The little devil clenched his fist and gritted his teeth to reiterate: "Who wants to be one of the four dandies in the capital with him!"
This woman will give him random nicknames!
Xu Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "I remember now. The account book recorded that you spent two thousand taels to buy four precious horses and gave them to the three of them. Could they be the same horses just now? No wonder the horse just now ran so fast, it's a good horse!"
Zong Wenxiu: “…”
The horse I saw just now was actually bought by my younger brother as a gift. I heard that a precious horse like the Ferghana is very expensive.
Horrible, I feel so touched.
The little devil was mocked by Xu Wan again, and he wanted to hit her on the head with his clenched fist.
But he was too short to reach her.
Damn!
Be sure to eat more when you get home!
