Chapter 261 Naughty Child
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Xiao Mo was absolutely pissed off by this idiot brother.
He turned around and ordered: "Come here! Go and call Nan Zhu over! Bring the Second Young Master's guards as well!"
"Yes!" Someone answered at the door.
When Xiao Chengjun heard that his elder brother was going to bring Nanzhu, he turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by the guard at the door: "Second Young Master, please stay."
He had no choice but to come back and angrily sit on the chair next to him.
Xiao Mo ignored his younger brother and sat in the armchair with his eyes closed, rubbing his temples.
After a while, Nan Zhu and several guards were brought over.
Xiao Mo ignored his younger brother's angry gaze and asked Nan Zhu, "Where are all the Jiang family's suitcases?"
Nanzhu didn't dare to look at the two young masters, lowered his head, and said nothing for a long time.
Xiao Mo leaned on the armchair, looked at the teenage servant coldly, and said lightly: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will cut off your tongue."
Nanzhu was so frightened that he knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Master, that box... is for the Wen family."
When Xiao Mo heard this, the veins on his forehead jumped, and he said to Nan Zhu: "Master did something wrong but did not stop me. Go down and get twenty military sticks to serve as a warning to others."
"Yes!" Nan Zhu didn't dare to look up at the second master's face, so he crawled out of the study.
I asked several more guards, and all of them confirmed Nanzhu's statement.
His younger brother Xiao Chengjun actually gave several boxes to the Wen family and his daughter.
Xiao Mo was speechless and pinched his eyebrows to calm down.
I have never found my second brother to be so childish before. What stimulation did he receive this time to do such a stupid thing?
"What did you say?" Xiao Mo asked.
Xiao Chengjun snorted: "There's nothing to say."
The things have been given away, is it possible to get them back? Anyway, if I can't do it myself, my eldest brother won't do it either.
Xiao Mo supported his forehead with one hand, looked at his younger brother coldly, and said, "It seems that those old scholars are all just a bunch of people who don't even teach the students the most basic etiquette. I'll get some people from my father to come over later, you still have to do it?" Xiao, I will read with them for a while, then I will read the Book of Rites thoroughly, and then I will go to Zhechong Mansion to take up a job."
Although Xiao Chengjun was dissatisfied, he knew that his eldest brother always told the truth. The more he objected, the longer it would take to study.
"Yes, brother." He lowered his head and replied.
Xiao Mo waved his hand and asked his brother to go down.
He also called his aide Cui Zhaochen and handed him the two lists in his hand.
"Mr. Cui, please buy everything according to the list and send someone to the Jiang family in Chuanhe Town. Be sure not to be rude."
Cui Zhaochen took the list, looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hey, even the footwear is on it. Tsk tsk. There is also a pack of needlework and two silk threads. Whose gift list is this?"
Xiao Mo said angrily: "You just follow the orders from above. As for the gold, silver and silk cloth, take them out of my private treasury first."
The gold and silver he paid in advance will be slowly deducted from Xiao Chengjun's monthly gift until it is full.
Cui Zhaochen folded the list, put it into his sleeve, handed it over to Xiao Mo, went to the accounting office, received two hundred taels of silver, and came out of Xiao's house.
Not far away, I saw Kang'an Medicine Hall.
Thinking of the medicine box in the list and the tools for making wax shells, Cui Zhaochen held up the corner of his robe and entered the door of the medicine hall.
"Brother Wen." Cui Zhaochen clasped his fists at the doctor sitting in the medicine hall: "Long time no see."
Wen Yanmin quickly stood up and returned the greeting: "It's Brother Zhaochen, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Cui Zhaochen smiled and said, "I came to your house to buy two items. I wonder if you can sell some?"
"What object?"
"It's the kind of tool that makes a wax shell on the outside of pills, and a kind of medicine box."
Cui Zhaochen gestured: "The medicine box that your doctor carries must also contain a set of silver needles, one hundred and eight, a set of various surgical knives, first aid medicine, and a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone."
Wen Yanmin nodded: "I do have the tools for making wax shells at home, but we don't take them out. There is only one medicine box, and we don't take them out."
"Brother Wen, does he know where I can order it?" Cui Zhaochen asked.
Wen Yanmin: "There is a Zhang Ji Woodware Shop not far from here. They should be able to do it."
"Thank you, Brother Wen, for informing me." Cui Zhaochen said goodbye and left.
A few days later, Cui Zhaochen finally bought all the items on the list and returned to Xiao Mo.
Xiao Mo looked at the six big boxes placed in the yard and was a little confused.
"Isn't there five boxes? Why is there an extra box? Did you not put it away properly?"
Not only was there one more, but there was also a wooden shelf and a medicine box that were not packed into the wooden box.
Cui Zhaochen: "Who said I didn't put them away properly? The boxes are so full that there are no gaps."
Xiao Mo picked up the list, looked at it, and compared it with Cui Zhaochen's purchase list one by one, and found that it was correct.
"Forget it, you can take a few people to Qinchuan County tomorrow. Oh, by the way, that boy Wei Zhan is also going to go. Can you please take him with you and come back as soon as possible."
"Okay, let's take the water route tomorrow, which will be faster." Cui Zhaochen put away the list, got up and left.
Early the next morning, Cui Zhaochen asked several guards to carry the box onto the carriage and transport it to the dock.
Later, Wei Zhan came with four boys, two of whom were carrying a large box.
Several people got on the boat. Wei Zhan asked the boy to carry the big box into his cabin, closed the door, and no one was allowed in.
The big ship set off and headed for Qinchuan County.
Luzhou is only more than 600 miles away from Qinchuan County. The big ship sailed along the river and arrived in one day and one night.
"Young Master, you are already at the place, come out quickly."
The boy knocked on the cabin door and listened to the movement in the cabin.
"coming!"
The cabin door was opened, and the boy opened his mouth in shock.
"Little...young master, why are young master Xiao here?" The boy was so nervous that he almost suffocated.
I saw a head with red silk pigtails sticking out from behind Wei Zhan, blinking his big eyes and saying: "I have been here for a long time! You are so stupid!"
At this time, Cui Zhaochen also walked over and gasped when he saw Xiao Chengyu behind Wei Zhan. "What's going on? Wei Zhan, why did you bring him here?"
Wei Zhan said indifferently: "He wanted to play with me, so I brought him here."
Seeing Cui Zhaochen frowning, he hurriedly said: "It's okay, I have already left a letter to my aunt. She won't blame you."
Cui Zhaochen snorted, "That's easy for you to say!"
No one in the entire Xiao family knew that Mr. Xiao and his wife doted on their five-year-old son the most.
Especially Madam, she holds this son in her hands for fear of falling, and holds her son in her mouth for fear of melting. It is like her lifeblood.
Fortunately, Wei Zhan actually took his wife's lifeline to Qinchuan County, hundreds of miles away.
But now that the matter has come to this, we can't turn the ship around and send him back.
Cui Zhaochen turned around and called a guard, asking him to pick up Mr. Xiao and get off the boat later.
Wei Zhan was very proud and winked at Xiao Chengyu.
Xiao Chengyu also winked at him, and the two children understood each other tacitly.
Cui Zhaochen took a look into Wei Zhan's cabin and knew what was going on.
This naughty kid hid his little cousin in a big wooden box and asked the boy to carry him over.
Wei Zhan actually knew how to drill two egg-sized ventilation holes into the big wooden box, put a layer of cotton mattress inside, and let his little cousin lie inside.
Cui Zhaochen shook his head and sighed.
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival soon, and the Xiao family can't find the young master, so there's probably going to be a big commotion.
