"You're up, but you're still snoozing!”
It was early in the morning, and the sky was not very bright. The sky was gray, and there was still snow on the ground. The city was also desolate and silent, like a dead city.
"Why are you calling me now?”They weren't on their way, and the sky was still dark. Why did they call him so early?
Guan Jiejue curled up under the blanket and lay on the thin felt floor, refusing to get up.
She couldn't be thinking of taking revenge on him, could she? He knew that she was not magnanimous and would find an opportunity to make him suffer. However, he had already given her the brick bed for a few days in a row. What else did she want? It was snowing outside last night, but she had made him sleep on the floor so that she and Lan Zhi could sleep on the brick bed. He had already given in to her, yet she still wanted to mess with him now?
"Do you think it's still early? The sky was dark, and it was already dawn.”Seeing that he didn't get up, she simply raised her leg and stepped on his head.
"Why did you step on me?" Feeling the weight pressing down on him, he quickly lifted the blanket and glared at her.
He admitted that he had been disrespectful to her recently, but she didn't have to step on him, right? He was a man of indomitable spirit.
"Can't I step on it?" Guan Yupian pretended to be shocked and smiled maliciously. "You didn't say anything."
She slowly moved her foot away, but not completely. She just changed her position!! Instead, she stepped on his stomach.
"Is this how you act as a mother?" Guan Jiejue wailed.
Was there a mistake? Was she really going to step on his stomach so rudely? Did she think that his stomach was made of stone? He actually stepped on her so ruthlessly…
"Didn't you say that I'm not your mother?”She covered her mouth and laughed.
Oh, now he was willing to acknowledge her as his mother? What kind of person did he take her for? He wanted to call her mother, but he had to see if she was willing.
"Why do you hate me so much?”If he was ruthless enough, he would have pushed her away with one hand, and it would be best if he made her fall on all fours. However…if he was not afraid that she would accidentally fall and get seriously injured, he would have done it long ago.
"Who would bear a grudge?" She stomped on it heavily before moving away in satisfaction. "Do you think I would argue with a brat who doesn't know how to improve?”
Guan Yupan leisurely swayed to the couch beside the brick bed and half-lay down. Her charming eyes stared at his back as he slowly got up. Only then did she realize that this kid had really grown up. She felt that he had grown a lot taller and was like a little adult. He was no longer the brat who was still wet behind the ears two years ago.
" You said you didn't care, but you stomped so hard..." he muttered.
Wasn't sleeping on the floor enough? She was not his mother to begin with…
"What are you mumbling about over there?" Hearing him muttering to himself, Guan Yupian couldn't help but reprimand him in a low voice. "What time is it now? Why aren't you washing your face to wake yourself up?”
"Got it." Didn't she get up?
"Hurry up and wash up. In a while, we'll walk around the streets together and see if we want to continue staying in the city or go somewhere else.”
Guan Yupian watched as he cleaned up and helped Guan Lanzhi, who had just woken up, wipe her face and put on a robe. She couldn't help but smile as she watched his back.
He had really grown up a lot and knew how to take care of girls.
The days of being homeless were a little hard to bear, and the days of hiding were a little painful, but it was not all some unbearable memories. At least this Eldest Young Master who did not know the sufferings of the people had become much more mature, even if his mouth was a little presumptuous.
However, he was already fifteen years old, and Lan Zhi was also six years old. Perhaps it was time to find a place to settle down. The silver he had should be enough to open a small shop and find a teacher for these two children.
"Niangniang, big brother said that Niangniang wants to bring Lan Zhi out on the streets.”
Just as she was thinking, she felt a soft ball of meat bump into her body, almost knocking her off her feet. However, it was a sweet burden.
"That's right, the Empress wants to bring Little Lan Zhi out on the streets. Quickly put on the fur coat.”She smiled.
Hehe, she had made the right decision to marry him back then. Otherwise, how could she have such a cute daughter? Although he was not her biological son, she could not let go.
"Let's go to the street and see if there are any empty houses nearby. If we like them, I'll go talk to the owner and we can settle down here.”She had made up her mind. Jiangning and Beijing were thousands of miles apart. It was impossible for those clan relatives who had embezzled the family property to come to Beijing.
It had already been two days since they arrived in Beijing. It was time to settle down. They could not just run away day by day like this.
"Are you serious?" Guan Jiejue still thought that he had misheard her and did not believe that she really intended to settle down in Beijing.
"Why would I lie to you?" She snorted coldly.
After she pulled Guan Lanzhi's fur coat tighter, she opened the umbrella and the mother and daughter walked toward the street, not caring if Guan Jiejue had to use the umbrella to cover the snow.
"You and Lan Zhi should also find a teacher to teach you. Since you want a teacher to teach you, you naturally have to find a place to stay. Otherwise, do you plan to stay in an inn every day? Do you think you don't need to spend money to stay in an inn?”
Sigh, did he really think that it was easy for her to save money? If it was really that easy, why would she need to seduce him?
But the things in the capital are more expensive than other places. If we want to settle down here, the silver on us…" Is it enough? She only had enough money to buy an umbrella, and she even said that she wanted to settle down here.
"The reason why I entered those mansions was not for the small profits that the First Master gave me before he left, but the treasures that I stole every night. Otherwise, how long do you think that a few taels of silver can last us on the road of escape?”
Seriously, he refused to admit that he was brainless. He had to quickly find a powerful teacher to teach him to be smarter. If he didn't continue like this, what would happen?
"Steal?" He was flabbergasted.
Stealing? Wasn't this stealing? Not only did she serve her master with her beauty, but she also stole…
"Lower your voice. Are you afraid that no one will hear you?”She shook her head and continued," Anyway, those people are not very righteous. Stealing some of their small things is nothing to them. Moreover, I have not forgotten to be kind and charitable with the money I pawned. I am a righteous thief who acts on behalf of heaven and robs the rich to help the poor.”
The tricks that she had learned as a child beggar in the past could now be put to use. She was quite happy, and she did not feel that she was wrong. In fact, she was even a little happy.
She had brought the two children all the way to the north. On one hand, she wanted to escape the pursuit of her clan relatives. On the other hand, she wanted to avoid the enemies she had provoked. The capital was different from other towns. She did not believe that those people would dare to act rashly at the feet of the emperor.
"No matter what you did, it was still stealing!”Guan Jiejue was still in disbelief.
He had heard her say that she used to mix around in the market and steal people's money, but he didn't expect her to be so bold now that she actually dared to steal in other people's mansions.
"That's right. The silver that you have spent these two years was obtained in this way. If this is considered stealing, then you are naturally a part of it.”She said it lightly, not caring what he thought of her at all. She held Guan Lanzhi's hand and walked forward.
If she could not steal, she would not steal. The reason why she would steal was that she really had no other choice. However, even if she wanted to make a move, she would definitely choose some rich and heartless rich businessmen and celebrities. She would definitely not find a good person.
Guan Jiejue stood rooted to the ground, staring at her as she walked further and further away. Tiny snowflakes kept falling from his head.
How could he not understand what she was saying? It was just that this method was always inappropriate. If someone found out, the outcome was not something she could bear.
She didn't need to do this for two children who weren't her own, right? Whatever, he would never let her do such a thing again. She had said it herself, she had enough silver on her, and she wanted to settle down here.
No, if she had enough money, why did she only buy one umbrella?
Thinking of this, he suddenly rushed forward and stopped her.
"Guan Yupian, since you said you had enough money, why did you only buy an oil umbrella?”
Guan Yupian slowly raised her eyes and smiled charmingly. "You didn't say you wanted an umbrella, so I naturally didn't buy it for you, right?”
Yo, did this silly kid finally realize that he was soaked?
It didn't matter. So what if a young man was drenched in snow and rain? Wouldn't it be fine if he went back and dried his body and changed into dry clothes?
"You! Lan Zhi is still young and can't stand the rain, but what about you? You're older than me, so you should give the umbrella to Lan Zhi and me. Why are you holding it with Lan Zhi?”
He knew that she favored Lan Zhi more, but that was because Lan Zhi was still young, so he naturally wouldn't pursue it. But what about her?
"Oh, so you're saying that as a mother, I should give the kids an umbrella so that I can get out in the rain?”She smiled cunningly.
He was stunned again. After a while, he said in exasperation,"You're not my mother!"
Damn it!
She actually wanted to take advantage of him. Don't think that he was so stupid that he didn't understand.
"Yeah, you already said that I'm not your mother, so why should I let you hold the umbrella?”As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately looked up at the sky and laughed. Her laughter did not have the gentleness and dignity that a woman should have. She even pushed him away rudely, not letting him block the way.
Guan Jiejue gritted his teeth in anger. He hated himself for never being able to win against her eloquent mouth. She always relied on her old age to make decisions for everything. She ignored him at all and even said that her husband would die for her son! Since when did she treat him as her son? What did she get?
No, he should at least earn back some face for himself. He couldn't lose to her every time. Since she wanted to follow her husband's surname, she naturally had to respect him, right?
Fine, she would use her husband's surname to pressure her. She did not believe that she would not lower her stance.
After Guan Jiejue made up his mind, he flew up and stopped in front of her. However, before he could say anything, he was pushed away by her and fell on the muddy snow.
"You!" That was too disrespectful.
"Don't be noisy. I'm looking at something.”Guan Yu stared at the notice seriously.
" What's that…" He stood up and brushed away the snow on his body with both hands. He looked up at the notice and was shocked to see the announcement. "Don't do it again…"
Guan Yu smiled and looked at him with his clear eyes.
"What do you think?"
Guan Jiejue thought that normally, no one could change Guan Yupian's decision. If he wanted to change it, he had to let her do it. Just two hours ago, she said that she wanted to settle down here and open a small shop to make a living. Who knew that two hours later, he would be dragged into the residence of King Tiele.
"Let the three of you rest in this room for a while. After I report to his highness later, you can enter the kitchen again.”After the old manager said this, he immediately left with a group of servants. The shocking grandeur was something that the local rich could not compare to.
"You clearly said that you wouldn't do such things again.”
Guan Jiejue was silent for a long time before he could no longer hold his temper. With a sullen face, he started to question Guan Yu.
"When did I say that?" Guan Yupian dug his ears and refused to admit it.
"If you continue like this, no matter how big the world is, we won't be able to find a place to stay.”He was furious.
Guan Yupian smiled. He first placed Guan Lanzhi, who was already sleeping soundly in her arms, on the brick bed before slowly walking up to him.
"If I miss this opportunity, I will be in deep regret.”
What good conditions!
The chef that the Prince's mansion wanted was a married woman, and she could bring her son into the mansion. She could provide accommodation and even provide the Headmaster to teach the son of the servant…If she did not seize this excellent opportunity, wouldn't she be letting herself down?
"You admit it?" Guan Jiejue sat on a chair covered with brocade.
"So what?" She didn't think she was in the wrong at all. "The Imperial Residence is not the residence of an ordinary wealthy merchant. Don't you realize that just this servant's room is more comfortable than an ordinary inn?”
If she could steal some treasures from it and pawn them elsewhere, it would definitely be enough for her and her children to live peacefully for the rest of their lives.
Guan Jiejue walked around for a while. Although this place was not luxurious or elegant, it was definitely top-notch from the servants 'rooms he had seen before. However…
"You can't say that. This is the Imperial Residence. Do you think you can tolerate your shady business?”
His Highness was a noble of the royal family and could directly order the execution. If she made a mistake, wouldn't it be…
"Why not?" She didn't care about the Imperial Residence at all. "Your Highness can even decorate the servant's room so elegantly, so the residence must be even more gorgeous. If I take out some things from the residence, he might not even notice.”
That's right, this was a good opportunity that had fallen from the sky. If she didn't grasp it well, she would cry.
"If anyone finds out, they will be beheaded. This is not a place where you can leave after crying, making a scene, and hanging yourself.”He should have taught her some principles, so that she wouldn't be ignorant of the things that she couldn't afford to offend Wang Hou.
"Just as you said, even if you want to behead him, you have to wait until you are discovered.”Guan Yupian smiled and patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, if I really get caught, I'll say that we have nothing to do with each other. Don't worry that I'll drag you and Little Lan Zhi down.”
"I'm not afraid of you…"
"Shh!" She quickly covered his mouth.
After a while, the old steward opened the door and entered.
"His highness is currently throwing a tantrum. Go into the kitchen and display your skills first to suppress his highness 'temper. I will report this matter to his highness later.”The old steward smiled kindly. "After you display your skills, I will tell you the rules of this residence.”
Hearing this, Guan Yupian smiled subtly and nodded.
"Steward, please lead the way."
The old steward walked out, and she followed him obediently. However, when she realized that her clothes were being grabbed, she couldn't help but turn around and glare at Guan Jiejue.
"Stay here and remember to cover Little Lan Zhi with the blanket.”She immediately flung his hand away.
Guan Jiejue looked at her slender back in disappointment. He turned back to look at Guan Lanzhi, who was sleeping soundly, and muttered to himself,"" Her body was dry, and she didn't even ask if I was freezing from being drenched…"#
