Flowers in full bloom

Chapter 368 Isn't this caring about you?

"Rong Jue, stop talking nonsense. You can only pick two at most. My grandfather said so." Yun Hai said angrily with a red face.

"How is that possible? Didn't your father have three concubines?" Xiao Yuan looked puzzled again.

"That was from outside, from outside. Not selected from the concubines." Yun Hai himself didn't know why he had to explain this to Xiao Yuan. He just couldn't stand the expression on Hua Mo Yuan's face, which was so naughty.

"What? You mean you don't just want to pick two concubines, but you also want to take in concubines from outside?" Xiao Yuan really looked like he had seen the world. "Then your father had three concubines. How many concubines did your other uncles have? Who had the most concubines?"

"Hua Moyuan, what's wrong with you? Not only do you care about my brothers' concubines, but now you also care about my father and uncle's concubines?" Yun Hai could no longer bear it.

"I'm just concerned about you. As your classmate, I didn't know your family situation for so long. Now I want to find out. You see, you know everyone in my family, and you've met my sister.

It's normal for me to care about your family situation. "Xiao Yuan said confidently. After a pause, he continued.

"Besides, you are already thirteen years old. In a few years, your mother will give you a maid, and you will definitely have to take a concubine by then. Since your father took three concubines, do you have to take at least three? Or can you take as many as you want?"

"Hua Moyuan, I think you are not only screwed up, but also have water in your brain. You ask these weird questions." Yunhai picked up the foot cloth and started to wipe his feet. He was ready to kick Xiaoyuan a few times to vent his anger.

"Besides, which family isn't like this? Isn't the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion like this too?" Yunhai wiped his feet and rolled his eyes at Xiaoyuan. "You've lived in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion for three years. Don't say you don't know."

"Well, our mansion is different from yours. Brother Rong Jin, Brother Rong Yu, they really don't have maids in their rooms." Rong Jue answered from the side.

"How is that possible?" Yun Hai looked unconvinced.

"Just no." Rong Jue spread his hands.

"Why?" Yun Hai asked.

"I don't know why, there is just no answer." Rong Jue touched his head, thought for a while, and said.

"I heard that when Brother Rong Jin was sixteen, my aunt wanted to pick a few pretty girls for him, but Brother Rong Jin refused. He asked Qingzao and Qingsheng to guard the gate of his courtyard and not let anyone in. He even moved the stone tables and benches at the gate into the courtyard and did not allow anyone to sit on them."

Xiao Yuan looked at Yun Hai, then at Rong Jue, and said nothing. He also remembered this incident. At that time, he had just moved from Qi Hua Garden to Qi Zhu Yuan in the front yard.

Rong Jin was worried that I would not be able to get used to the environment for a while, so he would go to Qizhuyuan every night to sleep with me. He lived in Qizhuyuan for more than a month.

During this time, Madam Han sent a few maids over, but they were stopped by Qingzao and Qingsheng at the gate of Qixia Courtyard. As a result, these maids did not dare to go back directly, so they sat beside the stone table at the gate of Qixia Courtyard waiting for Pei Rongjin.

When Rong Jin returned from Qizhu Courtyard after a nap in the morning, he saw a few maids sitting by the stone table. Without asking any questions, he drove them directly back to Changfeng Courtyard and did not even let them enter the door of Qixia Courtyard.

He also asked Qingzao and Qingsheng to move the stone benches and stone tables that were originally placed outside the courtyard gate into his own courtyard, and did not allow others to sit on them.

Because the stone benches and stone tables were removed, the original place was bare and no grass grew for a long time. It was extremely ugly, so I was deeply impressed.

"Is it that your mansion can't afford to support so many maids?" Yun Hai asked hesitantly.

"Tsk, do you think our Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is poorer than your Dingxi Marquis Mansion? So poor that we can't even afford to support a maid?" Yun Hai's words touched a nerve in Rong Jue, and Rong Jue's voice involuntarily became higher.

"Don't forget, our mansion is the second-rank Marquis of Zhenbei. My grandfather was the second-rank Marquis of Zhenbei. Last time the emperor bestowed rewards, he also bestowed a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry on the mansion. There was no room even in the main room, so they were placed in the courtyard. Do you think our mansion would be short of money to support a few maids?" As a descendant of the Marquis of Zhenbei, Rong Jue's face was not proud.

"Then why don't you have a maid?" Yun Hai asked puzzledly.

"Didn't I tell you? I didn't know. Brother Rong Jin didn't want it, would Brother Rong Yu dare to take it? I heard that my aunt later picked a few girls and sent them to Brother Rong Yu. At that time, Brother Rong Yu didn't refuse.

But from the day the maid sent him to his room, Brother Rong Jin packed him up along with his spare clothes and quilts and sent him to the pottery workshop of our Marquis' Mansion in the North City District. I heard that he also asked him to help dig the soil and fire the kiln. He was not allowed to return to the Marquis' Mansion at night. He lived in the pottery workshop for one and a half months. "As Rong Jue said, he began to take off his socks and soak his feet.

"Ah? Digging? Why? Why would Brother Rongyu be willing to do that?" Yunhai asked in disbelief.

"What if he doesn't want to? He can't beat Brother Rong Jin." Rong Jue said as if it was a matter of course.

"What about Brother Rongyu's guards? Why don't they help?" Yunhai became even more curious.

Rong Jue rolled his eyes at Yun Hai and said, "Are you stupid? Brother Rong Yu's guards, Brother Rong Yu doesn't dare to disobey Brother Rong Jin, do you think his guards dare to disobey Brother Rong Jin?"

"Then didn't your aunt say anything? She is Brother Rong Jin's elder, she will definitely speak up for Brother Rong Yu and plead for him, right?" Yun Hai also opened the door to a new world.

"What my aunt said, is it useful? Do you think Brother Rong Jin will listen to my aunt? Besides, do you think my grandmother is a decoration?" Rong Jue looked at Yun Hai as if he was a fool.

"Then...your grandmother, both of them are her grandsons, how could she so blatantly side with Brother Rong Jin?" Yun Hai looked very surprised.

"You are really stupid. Brother Rong Jin is the eldest son and grandson of the Zhenbei Marquisate. Isn't it his responsibility to teach his brothers and sisters? My grandmother is so happy that she can't wait to stop him."

Rong Jue looked as if it was nothing more natural. He looked at Yun Hai and asked, "Doesn't your elder brother discipline his younger siblings? Hasn't he ever disciplined you?"

"Uh..." Yunhai paused for a moment. It seemed that his eldest brother had never cared about him, whether it was his schoolwork or riding and archery. The one who cared about him the most was his sixth brother.

"Well, this is normal. After all, your elder brother is so much older than you, and your nephew is only a few years younger than you. He should take care of his own son." Rong Jue made up for Yun Hai again.

"Then how did Brother Rongyu come back?" Yunhai still hasn't forgotten this.
