Chapter 21
Chu Xiangtian hugged the man in his arms, his palms running from the back of his head to his back, gently comforting him like a small animal's hair. The young master in his arms was probably the one he had ever seen. He had been struggling in the army for more than ten years, and his most annoying thing was the soft egg who could cry at any time. However, when the object was replaced by Wen Tian, he not only did not feel disgusted, but also felt a little distressed.
I cried so pitifully, I must have suffered grievances.
Thinking of what he discovered during the day, Chu Xiangtian frowned slightly. After thinking about it, the only thing that could make the young master cry so sad was probably the only thing Wen Boli did. Although he said he was not sad, he must still feel sad.
Having a conclusion in his heart, Chu Xiangtian remembered what Wen Boli said in his heart. Seeing that the person in his arms was still choking, he felt even more pity. He pressed him to his chest, and let his voice softly coax him, "Be good, don't cry."
Wen Tian rubbed his clothes and cried, venting his emotions in his heart. His frowning brows slowly unfolded, but he still hugged Chu Xiangtian's waist drunk and refused to let go. He rubbed around in his warm arms like a little rabbit who finally found a nest on a long journey, nostalgic and unwilling to leave.
Unable to bear to push him away, Chu Xiangtian directly hugged the man horizontally, and Wen Tian spontaneously curled up into a ball, grabbing his chest. The clothes in front buried his face in his arms, and a small humming sound was made between his nose, as if he was acting coquettish.
He coaxed a few more words in a gentle voice, holding the man ready to look for the carriage. As soon as he walked out, he happened to meet Wen Shuyue and the others who came to find Wen Tian.
Wen Shuyue and Zhou Chuanqing walked side by side in front. When they saw Wen Tian holding Chu Xiangtian in his arms, they were startled and asked anxiously what was wrong.
"I drank some wine and got drunk." Chu Xiangtian hugged Wen Tian steadily, but his eyes fell on the little rabbit in her arms. The little rabbit slapped the palm of his hand, looking white and soft, with long ears on his back, and stayed motionless in Wen Shuyue's arms, just like Wen Tian at this moment.
It looks so much like Chu Xiangtian walked around for a while. Seeing Wen Shuyue wanted to wake him up, she hugged the man and avoided him quietly. "He is feeling uncomfortable, I'll send him back."
Wen Shuyue wanted to say something, Zhou Chuanqing smiled and advised: "Don't worry, the boss will take good care of Mr. Wen."
Wen Shuyue hesitated, Chu Xiangtian was already walking towards the carriage with the man in his arms.
The movement of walking woke Wen Tian up. He opened his eyes in a daze, struggled to get up, and was yelling to go to read a book. He was so drunk that he spoke with his tongue and couldn't speak clearly. Chu Xiangtian listened with his ears for a while before he understood: The young master wanted to study and take the exam.
He was a little amused and cried. He was indeed a child. He was drunk and thought it would happen. He patiently followed the drunk man and coaxed him to sleep. Chu Xiangtian carefully put the man into the carriage. Li Qingnian, who was following behind, wanted to follow him. Chu Xiangtian turned around and put the car curtain down, raised his eyebrows with a cold face: "Go to another carriage."
Li Qingnian: “…”
He shrank his neck and looked back with a look. Li Qingnian was still timid and climbed onto his carriage in shame. Zhou Chuanqing sent Wen Shuyue onto the carriage and came over. He saw this scene, his mouth twitched, and he turned decisively to walk towards the Li family's carriage.
The coachman drove the carriage slowly towards the city. Chu Xiangtian asked Wen Tian to lie on his lap and reached out to protect him carefully. The carriage was a little bumpy. Wen Tian was awakened by the bumpy after sleeping for a while, and grabbed Chu Xiangtian's hand in a daze and said nonsense. He said sorry in a crying voice, and then struggled to make a fuss to read a book. Chu Xiangtian was useless and then coaxed the person.
After finally reaching Wen's mansion, Chu Xiangtian picked up the man and carried him all the way back to the East Courtyard. Dai Fu was sent back after delivering the letter during the day. Wen Tian kept waiting for him and did not sleep. At this moment, he saw Chu Xiangtian carrying the man in with his man in his arms, and he looked alert to take him over. But Chu Xiangtian was taller than him. He walked around him and took him back to the room and placed him on the bed, and explained: "He is drunk. You wipe him and feed him some water at night."
It turned out that he was drunk. Dai Fu approached and took a look before he felt relieved. He went to the kitchen to serve hot water neatly.
Chu Xiangtian leaned against the bed, reached out and poked his fleshy cheeks, his fingers stayed on his white and tender cheeks for a while, then he took them back as if nothing had happened, and said to the sleeping man in a low voice: "Good dream."
...
After the hangover, I felt endless headaches. The half-awake person reached out and rubbed his head, and sat up with his hands in a humming manner. The sun was bright outside the window. Wen Tian leaned out and looked out. It was already noon.
Dai Fu, who was outside, heard the movement and poured him a cup of warm water. Wen Tian finished drinking and rubbed his eyes. His eyes were sore and swollen and a little red.
"Why did I come back last night?" Wen Tian frowned and searched for his memories. Chu Xiangtian came to him and told him about Wen Boli. After that... he had no impression at all.
"It was Chu's family who sent you back." Dai Fu explained: "You drank too much last night."
"Oh..." Still couldn't remember it, Wen Tian rubbed his eyebrows, put the matter aside, and then asked about the serious matter, "Where is my mother?"
Dai Fu said: "Mrs. and Miss are enjoying the flowers in the garden."
Wen Tian nodded, pulled up with his tired body after a hangover, washed up and changed into clean clothes, and went to the garden. Since he found the place where Wen Boli hid, it would be better to tell his mother as soon as possible.
Fu Youqin and Wen Shuyue were enjoying flowers in the pavilion in the garden. Wen Tian hurried over. Before he could speak, Fu Youqin stopped and scolded him, "Drinking alcohol hurts your body, look at your blue eyes..."
Wen Tian subconsciously touched his eyes, looked at his mother and sister who were concerned about him, hesitated for a moment, and waved his back and said in a deep voice: "Mom, I found someone."
Fu Youqin was stunned for a moment before reacting. The smile on her face faded, "Where is the person?"
"The man in the village on the other side of Hongfa Temple is hidden in the Shantang."
Wen Shuyue next to her was confused, "What are you talking about?"
Fu Youqin looked at her confused daughter and sighed slightly. Sooner or later, she would know. She did not hide it and said bluntly: "Your father has raised an outdoor room."
Wen Shuyue's expression went from confusion to shock to disbelief, "How could it be..."
Fu Youqin held the hands of the two children and patted comfortably, "Just leave the next thing to me, I will ask someone to find out."
Wen Shuyue was still immersed in shock and couldn't speak. Wen Tian pursed her lips and asked hesitantly: "Will mother... be with her?"
Unexpectedly, he would ask this question. Fu Youqin paused for a moment before smiling faintly, "Do you want to?"
Wen Tian nodded seriously, "This house should have the surname Fu."
"Good child, mom knows what to do." Fu Youqin touched his head lovingly. In just a short period of time, Wen Tian grew up quickly from a naive and ignorant boy. Fu Youqin didn't know what happened in the middle, but the mother was not willing to see this change. She would rather her two children live innocently throughout her life than face such dirty private affairs at a young age.
Since that's what happened, Fu Youqin did not let Wen Tian contact this matter again. She asked the housekeeper to find someone to go to Hongfa Temple to verify it, and then she began to count the industries under Wen Boli. These were all entrusted to Wen Boli before the death of the two elders of the Fu family. Fu Youqin had always trusted Wen Boli very much for maintaining the relationship between husband and wife and had never intervened. However, since now she had new plans, the things that should be settled must be calculated clearly.
Based on the experience of previous years, Wen Boli will not be back in about half a month.
Fu Youqin has been particularly busy these two days. Wen Tian could hardly see her. The servant had been instructed. The atmosphere in the mansion was inexplicably tense. She took the housekeeper to re-extract all the accounts of the shop and the village to settle them again. The more you calculate, the more problems you find.
Wen Tian couldn't see anyone and didn't know the specific situation. This time, if they were ready to take the initiative, he was still a little unsure. The people did not fight with the officials. He was always thinking about Wen Boli colluding with the government and oppressing their mother and son in the last life. Although Wen Boli had already had a quarrel with the Jiao family in this life, it was logical that he would not have the chance to be recommended by the county magistrate again, but he was still a little uneasy.
Since Wen Boli can bribe the government, he might as well start first.
Wen Tian thought about it for a while and thought it might be OK. He rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to extract his small treasury. Wen Tian asked Dai Fu to send invitations to several fellow villagers. It would be better to establish a good relationship with these people in advance than to have no preparation in the previous life.
On February 16th, Wen Tian held a banquet at Fuxi Tower. Several fellow villagers were invited to come. The invitation was in the name of Wen Boli. When the fellow villagers came over to see Wen Tian, they looked a little surprised. Wen Tian's expression remained unchanged, so they politely invited them to sit down.
Today he wore a black brocade robe, his hair was tied neatly with his crown, and he looked like he was pursing his lips and not smiling, which was a little more imposing than usual. The servants served tea one by one, Wen Tian picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and started to play Tai Chi with a few old fried dough sticks.
These villagers are all good people. Wen Tian did not get straight to the point. After circled with the few people for a long time, he finally mentioned the serious matter. Needless to say, Dai Fu put a small plate on the table, and there were three wooden boxes on the plate, making a heavy sound when placed on the table.
The fellow villagers smiled and their eyes fell on the wooden box as if nothing had happened. Wen Tian slowly took a sip of tea and asked Dai Fu to deliver the wooden box to the three of them. "Three of them came here, but the little gift was not respectful."
After politely rejecting the matter, the fellow villagers put the things in their arms.
They didn't care when they saw Wen Tian. The young master of the Wen family had also heard that he was just a soft and innocent young man, but it was better to meet him than to be famous. They felt that the young master of the Wen family might not be the same as the rumor said.
If they were biased towards Wen Boli before, then after seeing Wen Tian, the scale that tilted in their hearts gradually became tilted back.
Which one is more beneficial to them, the scheming Wen Boli or the newborn Wen Tian, will naturally have a scale.
A temporary consensus was reached, Wen Tian came out of Fuxi Tower and rubbed his stiff face. A familiar voice suddenly came from beside him, "What are you looking for those fellow villagers?"
Wen Tian turned around and saw Chu Xiangtian leaning against the pillars and looking at him.
With his eyes lowered, Wen Tian explained to him softly: "Wen Boli is very close to them."
Chu Xiangtian immediately understood what he meant. The young master was afraid that Wen Boli and the government would oppress them, so he came to clear the relationship in advance.
"Don't worry." Chu Xiangtian walked up to him and reached out to rub his head, "They can't jump for a few days."
