Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 427 Something is wrong

Although he was just a businessman in the town, he also had businesses in several state and county cities. He had seen the world and naturally had seen good things.

Especially since he was a tea lover, he could tell from the tea in his hand that it was the tribute tea Baique tea just by smelling the tea fragrance and looking at the tea soup.

I remember that when he went to the capital, he passed by a pawnshop and saw a young eunuch taking a small can of tea to pawn, but the pawnshop clerk didn't dare to accept it. When he heard the word "tea", he went in to ask, then opened it and took a look, and then bought it.
The eunuch wanted fifty taels of silver for such a small pot of tea, which weighed only one or two taels. When he paid the silver and was about to leave, the eunuch told him that it was the tribute tea from the palace, and he did not steal it from his master. His master praised him for his good service and gave it to him as a reward. He could not bear to drink it and hid it. This time he had a chance to leave the palace, so he took it out to exchange for some silver.

The young eunuch said that his grandparents sent him to the palace without telling his parents. When his mother found out, she cried all day long. So his father brought his mother and his brothers and sisters to Beijing, where he made a living by running a wonton stall and doing laundry for rich people.

The young eunuch said that his parents were honest people, and they were not liked by their grandparents, and they suffered a lot in their hometown. For the sake of their rootless son, they left their hometown and came here, just to be closer to him, so that they could spend three days together every year.

However, given their financial situation, they could only rent a utility room in someone else's house. With the fifty taels of silver, they could buy a small courtyard outside the city.

After saying this, Father Jiang said to Hong Xiaoduo apologetically, "Look at me, what are you talking about, young lady?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I like to hear it. That little eunuch is so pitiful. Fortunately, his parents love him. Although this family love cannot make up for his broken body, it can warm his heart.

Master Jiang, you have done a good deed." After saying this, Hong Xiaoduo couldn't help but think of the eunuchs she saw in the palace this time, and thought that there were probably not many who volunteered to enter the palace!

After hearing what she said, Father Jiang shook his head and said, "That young lady praised the wrong person. My purpose at that time was very clear. I just wanted to buy that one or two cups of tea to satisfy my personal desires. I had no intention of helping others."

This man is so honest. Hong Xiaoduo likes Father Jiang in front of her even more.

“Although you bought the tea for yourself, if you didn’t buy it and no one else did, he wouldn’t get the fifty taels of silver, and his family would still be without a place to live.

So, Mr. Jiang did help him." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.

This is not a compliment, it is the fact. Besides, there is no need for Hong Xiaoduo to say nice things to please this person.

Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo didn't show any impatience when she talked to him about the little eunuch, Jiang's father really opened the conversation without any burden.

"After hearing about the poor little eunuch's life story, I thought of this useless bastard of my own. You see, his family conditions are so good, but he still doesn't know how to appreciate his blessings and doesn't follow the right path." Speaking of his own son, Jiang's father couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.

Hong Xiaoduo thought about it and wanted to ask, "I'm actually very curious. Master Jiang, you look like an upright person and you are strict with your children. How could he be so crooked?
Is there any reason behind this?

Of course, this is your private matter. If it is inconvenient, just pretend I didn’t ask.”

Father Jiang sighed again, took a sip of tea and put it down, saying: "He is Jiang's only son. His mother died of hemorrhage on the day he was born." Seeing Hong Xiaoduo's sudden realization, he quickly said: "It's not what you think, young lady. I didn't spoil him because he lost his mother when he was born. He was crooked when he was a child, and I realized something was wrong when he grew up, so I started to discipline him strictly.

He had been doing bad things since he could walk, and he enjoyed bullying the servants in the mansion. At that time, I thought he was ignorant and didn't know what he should and shouldn't do, so I talked to him nicely.

But it was no use. He nodded at the time to show that he understood and remembered it, but he continued the same thing afterwards.

Later, I saw that it was not working, so I punished him when he did something wrong, hitting his palms and body with a ruler, not just pretending to hit, but really hitting him. His hands were swollen, and he promised not to make the same mistake again, but he would be the same again in a few days.

In other words, I beat him up, but so what? He refuses to change. Sometimes I really hope that I can be childless. The child my wife risked her life to give birth to turned out to be such a bastard. Oh!"

After saying that, he took another sip of tea. When he talked about his son, he had no intention of tasting the tea in his hand even though it was a rare good tea.

"It's really hard to say. Mr. Jiang, have you ever remarried?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.

It's not that she has no sympathy. She just wanted to eat melons when she was so sad. It was just that the atmosphere was more casual and there was no sense of unfamiliarity, so she didn't think too much about it.

"Yes, it was his wet nurse Pang Shi. Pang Shi took care of him meticulously, even neglecting her own son for him. She married a ruffian who often beat and scolded her. I used money to let her get the divorce certificate.

Later, I felt grateful to her and asked her what she thought, and then I took her in as my concubine." Father Jiang told me frankly.

He had no guilty conscience because Pang Shi was not good-looking and given his family background, it would be easy for him to find a girl to be his concubine.

After hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo always felt that something was wrong.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "For your son, Mrs. Pang didn't even care about her own son? How old was her son at that time, and who was taking care of him?"

"Pang said that the child was one month older than my son. She would not have come out to be a wet nurse, but her husband often got drunk and beat her, and she could not stand it. As soon as the child was one month old, she entrusted the child to her parents' care and came out on her own.

It just so happened that the steward in my house was her cousin. He learned about her experience. In addition, my wife passed away on the day she gave birth, just one month after she gave birth. The wet nurse that we had originally found could not come due to something, so he introduced her to me." Father Jiang told me without thinking too much.

After hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo felt that something was wrong even more strongly.

Thinking about Jiang Baicheng's appearance, there is really no resemblance between him and his father. His wet nurse's husband is a ruffian, so it makes sense to say that Jiang Baicheng is the wet nurse's son, bad genes!

"Where are Pang's parents and children now?" Hong Xiaoduo hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"When I was still in Pang's mother's family and took her in as a concubine, I mentioned that I would take her son into the house and treat him as my own son, but she disagreed, saying that her parents, brother and sister-in-law loved her son very much and they would be sad if I took him away.

I mentioned it several times later, but she refused with the same reason, and I never mentioned it again." Father Jiang shook his head.

"Has Mr. Jiang ever met Pang's son?" Hong Xiaoduo asked immediately...
