Chapter 727: The business was not half completed but it collapsed
Shanshan came home late at night.
When he went home, he was hunched over, holding on to the wall with his trembling hands, and occasionally he raised his hands to pat his waist.
"Why are you so stubborn? Princess Zhaoyang gave you money, but you didn't want it... I washed the dishes for two hours." Mai Feng looked at him with pity. Although it was spring, he used cold water to wash the dishes, and his little hands were frozen and swollen from being soaked in the water.
It also turned white because it was soaked in water for too long.
"You're hunched over, it must be uncomfortable now, right?" The restaurant business was very good. Fortunately, Mai Feng was used to doing farm work when he was young, so he helped to finish washing the clothes.
"It's her birthday and I'm treating her. How can I ask her for money?" Although Shanshan is small, she has a stubborn personality.
"Doesn't the nanny give you pocket money every day?" Mai Feng looked at him suspiciously.
Although the red envelope in Dongling was borrowed by the general, he is now over two years old and Madam Xu does give him monthly salary.
Even Mai Feng received monthly salary.
However, all the money was spent on Madam Xu and Lu Chaochao’s birthdays in the past two months.
Anyway, he had no worries about food and drink at the Lu family and had almost no place to spend money.
Shan Shan's eyes rolled around: "I'm saving it, I'm saving it... She muttered and walked in."
"Let Ping'an come in and serve me, and brother Maifeng should go back and have a rest." The little guy closed the door and spoke in a muffled voice.
Seeing that he refused to speak, Mai Feng had to give up.
The servant Ping'an bowed to Mai Feng at the door and pushed the door open before entering.
He locked the door as soon as he entered, making very little noise, as if he was keeping some secret.
Although Mai Feng volunteers to take care of Shanshan, he is the real master in the Lu family. The general, his wife and the princess all thought highly of him, and no one dared to look down on him.
Although Mai Feng was not used to a life of luxury, he could feel the Lu family's sincerity and settled down there with peace of mind.
He only looked after Shanshan and studied calligraphy more and more attentively every day.
He knew that Shanshan was extraordinary. He only needed to live with Shanshan for a few days to detect something unusual.
This is also the reason why Shanshan doesn’t have many servants around him, and the Lu family doesn’t want too much speculation about him.
After Mai Feng noticed it, he tried to cover up Shan Shan's extraordinary behavior, so now it hasn't caused any big trouble.
After a while, Ping'an came out stealthily.
Mai Feng followed him carefully without alerting the enemy.
Seeing him enter the outer city where all kinds of people gathered and then go into a gambling house, Mai Feng's eyelids twitched wildly.
This damn kid! !
Mai Feng hurried back home, and as soon as he got home, he saw Yu Shu waiting at the door.
"Master Mai Feng, the princess asks you to come over." Yu Shu had a smile on her face, but Mai Feng felt guilty and couldn't smile.
Shanshan is in trouble.
When he entered the room, Lu Chaochao had already finished washing up.
She was leaning against the window, holding a book in her hands, and Yuqin was gently wiping her hair.
"You haven't stopped yet?"
With just one sentence, Mai Feng nodded with a bitter face.
Well, in front of Chaochao, Shanshan has no secrets at all. The little guy thought he was unnoticed...
Lu Chaochao sighed and put her fair little hand on her forehead.
"He is soft-hearted when he receives something from someone, and he is soft-hearted when he eats something from someone. I didn't originally want to punish him today." After today's meal, I ate so much that my stomach was full and full of water.
"Shanshan is precocious, but often he cannot understand great truths."
"I will only stop when my head is broken and bloody."
"Shanshan has a pair of eyes that can see all the good and evil in the world. He is young now and it is very easy for him to learn the wrong things. We can only try our best to guide him."
"Mai Feng, are you willing to go to the Imperial College to study with him?" Since Lu Chaochao entered the school, the Imperial College has had a small class, all of which are descendants of various aristocratic families.
Mai Feng was shocked. All the students in the Imperial College were children of powerful and wealthy people. How could he be admitted?
Lu Chaochao saw his hesitation and said, "Don't worry, no one will look down on you." No one in Beizhao dared to touch the people that Lu Chaochao was protecting.
Mai Feng stopped hesitating immediately. He was a studious child and there was no way he would refuse.
"Okay, Mai Feng will study hard and supervise Shanshan!" His eyes were shining and full of joy.
Looking at Lu Chaochao's eyes full of gratitude, he swore in his heart that he would always put the princess first in the future and repay her in all his lives.
"Don't be too careful, just let him grow up freely." Lu Chaochao couldn't let Shanshan live under her supervision all the time. Shanshan should be himself.
All she could do was pull him back on track when he strayed.
This has been the case for the past two years.
"Well, let's inform Big Brother."
"People in Beijing are addicted to gambling. In order to stop this unhealthy trend, let him close down all the gambling houses in Beijing! Order them to close down and not operate again!" The little girl was sitting in front of the window with her back to him. Her voice was soft, but Mai Feng's eyelids were twitching wildly.
Shanshan’s shortcut failed.
As soon as he placed his bet, the whole pot was smashed.
“Okay.” Mai Feng agreed and walked out the door.
The second day.
Shanshan opened her eyes before the maid entered the room.
After a good night's sleep, I felt refreshed from washing dishes yesterday and didn't feel any discomfort at all.
"Where's Ping An? Where's Ping An?" Shan Shan stood up and shouted.
"Safe? Safe. My parents are sick, so they returned to their hometown overnight. Madam has already assigned a new servant..." As he was speaking, the servant came in with his head lowered and greeted.
The smile on Shanshan’s face paused and her brows furrowed slightly.
Ping An usually does this for him.
Shanshan nodded indifferently, holding the bowl and said lazily: "Mom, when will Ping'an come back? Shanshan is used to him..."
Xu Shiyun tapped his forehead lightly: "He was not born in the family. His parents had no choice but to send him out to be a servant."
"Now that my parents are old, they can't stop me from going home, right?"
As they were talking, they saw Lu Yanshu returning home with a tired look on his face.
"Serve the food quickly..." Xu Shiyun's face was full of concern.
"Mom, I'll go back to my room to wash up first." Lu Yanshu nodded to Shanshan and reported to his mother before leaving.
"What's wrong, brother?"
Xu Shiyun smiled and said, "Your brother didn't come back last night. His Majesty suddenly summoned him to the palace late at night. He said that gambling was rampant in the capital, and in order to cure this evil trend, a surprise inspection was conducted."
"All the gambling houses in Kyoto were destroyed."
"Look, I just returned home after a night of hard work."
Snap...
The bowl in Shanshan's hand fell to the ground with a clang and broke into pieces.
"Shanshan..." Yunniang was startled.
"Are you burned? Bring me some ointment."
Shanshan's little hands are a little red, but not as red as her eyes.
He stammered, "Seal off... the gambling house? When did it happen?"
Yunniang tapped his head: "Your hands are all burned red, what else are you thinking about? The whole capital was sealed off last night. A strict investigation is underway." Yunniang cleaned him up and applied some cool medicine, but when she looked up...
Shanshan's eyes were red and aggrieved.
This is the gambling money I worked so hard to save! ! Yunniang was stunned. Is it so hot? Was it burned to tears by the evil spirit?
"By the way, your sister entered the Imperial Academy when she was one year old. You are now over two years old, it is time for you to go to the Imperial Academy for enlightenment."
"Let's go there tomorrow."
Shanshan felt very disappointed.
Misfortunes never come alone! !
