Chapter 151: Yunyan's First Appearance
Lao Ba: "Although he likes simplicity, you guessed it right, Yan'er, he really doesn't have much money. This three-story house was not bought by him, but was given to him by his cousin, who wanted him to use it for his wedding! It's a pity that the newlyweds haven't moved in yet, but we outsiders have moved in!"
When Lao Ba thought about the new house that was decorated by others and was occupied by his father who was ignorant of the sufferings of the world, he felt very depressed. He felt that if he wanted to fulfill his order, he would hit his head against the wall!
Old Eight was thinking too much. The county magistrate didn't think so much. He was the straight man. Apart from being a little panicked and thinking that he couldn't serve Kangxi well, he really had no other thoughts!
Kangxi also received the news that Lao Ba had returned. He had been waiting for Lao Ba to come back to pay him a visit, but unexpectedly, what he waited for was a servant bringing a message. Lao Ba said that his injury had not healed yet, so he would not cause trouble for him and would go back to rest first!
At first, Kangxi really thought that his son's injury had not fully healed. After all, he had seen with his own eyes that the injury was very serious. But when he heard from the servants that the eighth son had a ruddy complexion and was coming back hand in hand with a masked girl!
Kangxi was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted at Liang Jiugong to call the evil son over. Liang Jiugong was so scared that he immediately knelt on the ground. When the other servants saw Liang Jiugong kneeling on the ground, they all knelt on the ground. Although they didn't know why, they knew how to read the expression!
When the fourth and fifth brothers got the news, they felt that they had really done something wrong! It was clearly not their fault, so why did they have to suffer in the end?
Although the fourth and fifth brothers were still busy outside, they heard the servants beside them telling them to go back quickly. When the old man called them to go back, they had no choice but to go back obediently, even though they had found a lot of useful things!
The fourth, fifth, ninth, tenth, thirteenth and fourteenth sons, none of them escaped the scolding this time. Kangxi scolded these sons so harshly!
Fourteen felt extremely aggrieved, his eyes became red, and if it wasn't for his face he would have almost cried. He felt that he was really unlucky. He didn't do anything, so why did he get scolded?
The Ninth and Tenth Brothers were very thick-skinned. They completely ignored what Kangxi said, and it went in one ear and out the other. Although they were still listening to Kangxi's scolding, their minds were nowhere to be found!
The fourth and fifth sons naturally knew why their father was like this. Although they knew what was going on, they still felt very aggrieved. They thought, wait a minute, should they go and have a good talk with the eighth son? Talk about how to make it up to them?
The next day, the Eighth Brother took Yunyan's hand and came to the hall, only to see Kangxi sitting on the high seat, with the Fourth Brother and others sitting on both sides, making the hall full!
Because this was a formal visit to the old/family, Yunyan did not wear a veil this time, so when old Kangxi and others saw Yunyan's face, they were all very surprised!
He was surprised at Yunyan's stunning appearance, but then he felt that it seemed quite normal, because only this could explain why Lao Ba would fall in love with an orphan girl?
They could accept Lao Ba because of his beauty, but they could not accept that Lao Ba liked an ordinary orphan girl!
The fourth brother calmly picked up the teacup beside him and started drinking. He had already known that Yunyan's appearance was definitely outstanding.
However, Lao Jiu and Lao Shi were a little stunned. Although they knew that Yun Yan was very beautiful, they did not expect her to be so beautiful. She was really more beautiful than any other girl they had seen!
Not to mention the old five and the others, their eyes were about to fall out! However, they didn't have any bad intentions, they just thought that the old eight was so lucky to meet such a peerless beauty, no wonder he had to marry her!
On the other side, servants were setting the table! The servants also sensed the strange atmosphere, and they were all carefully fiddling with the dishes and chopsticks, not daring to make any noise.
Although they were hired temporarily and could not compare to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, their movements were still quite agile! Liang Jiugong was not very satisfied with this group of servants, but they could be used just barely. There was no other way!
Who told them that the people who followed them were still a hundred miles away? He couldn't let them fly over directly with wings, so he could only make do with it like this!
When the Eighth Brother saw the expressions of Kangxi and the others, he felt very unhappy, but he could only bow respectfully to Kangxi and suppress his unhappy mood.
Lao Ba: "Emperor Father!"
Yunyan didn't say anything, but because of Lao Ba, she performed a half-squat salute!
Kangxi heard Lao Ba's shout and came back to his senses. He picked up the teacup beside him and drank it, trying to cover up his embarrassment. Deep down, he was very upset and felt that the people around him were really too bad. Didn't they say that Yunyan looked ordinary? If she looked ordinary, then wouldn't all the concubines in his harem be extremely ugly?
After Kangxi finished drinking his tea, he did not rush to shout!
Lao Ba was so angry that he stood up and helped Yunyan who was beside him up!
Yunyan saw the anger in Lao Ba's eyes, she just smiled slightly, patted Lao Ba's hand, and signaled that she was fine.
This scene made Kangxi even angrier, and the atmosphere in the entire hall became even more weird.
The fourth brother also sighed deeply in his heart, knowing that this level was not so easy to pass! But he did not speak for the eighth brother, because he knew his father well, and he was used to the idea of martial arts being the only thing that mattered!
The more you beg, the less he will let you have your way! But I always think that Lao Ba won't ask for his help, he is fully capable of handling it himself!
Lao Ba's face was calm, because Yunyan's comfort just now made him no longer so angry. He was not angry that Kangxi ignored him, but he was angry that Kangxi made things difficult for Yunyan!
Lao Ba: "The Emperor asked us to come here, but what's the matter? If there's nothing, I have something urgent to do, so I won't stay by the Emperor's side and cause trouble!"
Lao Wu thought Lao Ba was really brave! He couldn't help but shout "good" in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face. As for what others thought? I guess only they themselves knew!
Kangxi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but there were outsiders present after all, and he didn't want people to think he was young, so he could only change the subject and said, "Old Eight, you were too impulsive a few days ago! How could you hurt yourself? Is there anything that can't be discussed in a nice way?"
