Chapter 618 The devil of chaos?
"He is in the outer court. The second young master said he didn't dare to come in because he was afraid that you would blame him," the attendant replied.
"Okay, brother-in-law, everyone is here and we can't squeeze them back in for a while. Let the child in. I don't know how hard it must have been for him to hide in the box all the way here." Zhang Pingan felt a headache and irritability when he heard the news.
If he had come with his family, he would definitely have welcomed him warmly, but he had to come at this moment.
Although he really was not in the mood to entertain his nephew properly, since he had already arrived and his brother-in-law was angry, he had no choice but to act as a peacemaker.
"Ping'an, don't worry about him, just let him reflect on himself outside. He is too unreasonable and not sensible at all." Liu Sanlang was rarely so angry. He always doted on his children.
The attendant looked at the two of them, then tactfully went outside and brought in Maodan.
After not seeing him for three years, Maodan has grown very tall, with dark skin, thick lips, and bright eyes. At first glance, he looks like a child with a particularly good physique.
He looks very much like Liu Sanlang when he was young, a perfect replica of him.
Although he is only thirteen years old, he looks more majestic than many adults, but his face is a little childish.
He had a long sword hanging on his waist and his hair was casually tied up, making him look like a knight.
Zhang Pingan stepped forward and patted Maodan's shoulders and the back of his hand, saying with relief, "It's been a few years since we last met. Maodan has grown up and is now taller than my uncle!"
"Hehe, my grandpa said I took after my dad," Maodan chuckled twice when he heard the compliment.
He secretly looked up to observe his father's expression.
Although Liu Sanlang blamed the child for being disobedient, he still loved him in his heart. Looking at the child's eyes, his heart softened a little.
He just asked with a stern face: "Why are you looking at me? What's so good about me? Look at you, you're such a grown-up, how can you be so ignorant and dare to sneak out alone? If your grandparents and your mother knew, wouldn't they be so worried?!"
"I left a letter for my mother and my eldest brother, and he knows about it. Besides, I came here with Uncle Chibao and the others, so there won't be any danger," Maodan explained.
"Hmph, you're so smart. And your eldest brother is also an accomplice. Just wait and see how I'll deal with him when I get back." When Liu Sanlang heard that his eldest son was also involved, his anger instantly flared up again.
Maodan was instantly intimidated by his father's cold snort, and his spirit became a little depressed. He stammered and stopped talking.
"Okay, brother-in-law, what are you doing? This is not a trial by three judges," Zhang Pingan advised.
Then he asked Maodaner, "You've been hiding in the box and eating dry food for the past ten days. Are you hungry?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm hungry and thirsty, so I have to save the water bag and dry food I brought with me," Maodan nodded vigorously when he heard that.
He was quite well behaved hiding in the big box all the way here, but he really suffered a lot!
"Okay, then my uncle will tell someone to set the table," Zhang Ping'an said with a smile.
Liu Sanlang didn't scold the child anymore.
While they were eating, Liu Sanlang asked carefully, "Those people who followed Chi Bao back to Lin'an were all skilled fighters. How did you avoid them? Eating and drinking in the box is fine, but you have to come out to poop and pee, right? How did no one notice?"
"My grandparents, mother, and grandparents brought a lot of things for you. I asked my eldest brother to clear out a large empty box and put it on the outside of the carriage so that it would be convenient for me to get out. Besides, Dad, you forgot that my master and I have learned martial arts for several years. It's not difficult to solve the problem of eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating. It's just that it's a bit uncomfortable to hold it in the box!"
Maodaner replied while wolfing down his food, with a smug tone in his voice.
He emphasized, "Master said I have a talent for martial arts. I'm better than my brother!"
"Hehe, you dare to show off just because you have a little bit of kung fu, right? Wait until tomorrow and practice with dad, and dad will see how much you have improved." Liu Sanlang said angrily and amusedly, rubbing his son's head.
"Let the child eat well. We can talk about it after dinner if there is anything!" Zhang Pingan stopped him.
He is my brother-in-law, but he always speaks tough words but is soft-hearted!
After finishing their meal, the two learned more details from Maodaner.
"My eldest uncle's and second uncle's families are doing well. My third, fourth and fifth cousins have all married in the past few years. They have proper jobs and are living well. I've mentioned all this in my previous letters to you, Dad. Oh, by the way, my eldest brother is also looking for a wife. Mom asked a matchmaker to find one. My grandparents are old and have lost a lot of teeth. They can only eat porridge now, but they don't have any major health problems. I've asked the doctor to see them several times, and he said it will probably take three to five years," Maodan counted carefully.
"Then have you helped your mother take good care of your grandparents?" Liu Sanlang asked with a softer look in his eyes after hearing about the situation at home.
"Of course! Besides, there are more than a dozen servants at home now, so mother doesn't have to do much and won't be very tired," Maodaner said with a smile on her face when she saw that Liu Sanlang had calmed down.
"More than a dozen servants? Didn't your last letter say that you only bought three or four servants to help with the rough work?" Liu Sanlang wondered.
"Oh, that was before. Ever since the emperor pacified various places in Lingnan and Shuzhong, many criminals were brought to Lin'an, and they were sold cheaply. So my grandparents and my uncles decided to buy a few more servants to serve us. Now there are many people in the family, and there are also many little kids. Three or four people are not enough. Anyway, the house is big enough," Maodan replied.
"Is there enough silver?"
"It's enough. The family is well off now. Anyway, I have never heard my grandparents and uncles complain about money"!
"That's good!" Liu Sanlang felt relieved.
Zhang Pingan then asked, "How's Xiaoyu'er? They say he's smart and clever, but is he usually naughty?"
This question hit the nail on the head, and Maodan couldn't help but reveal an expression that was difficult to describe.
He has never seen such a naughty child in his life. He has unlimited energy and amazing destructive power. He is simply a little devil!
But this cousin is lucky, everyone pampers him and gives in to him.
At home, I am spoiled by my grandparents, when I go out, my relatives give in to me, and I am also spoiled by several uncles.
In addition, my uncle is also very capable and has made rapid progress in his career, becoming more and more powerful. Everyone he knows will give some consideration to his little cousin.
After all this time, he has developed a bad temper. He is so young, not even as tall as the table, but he has the final say.
However, no matter how naive Maodan was, he knew he couldn't say this directly, so he racked his brains to praise her in a subtle way: "My cousin is in good health and spirits, he eats and sleeps well, and he's not shy about strangers. He can play with any child. Oh, and he has a really loud voice!"
Especially when she cries, it's amazing!
He has a deep understanding of this!
