Chapter 290: Conquering Others with Virtue
My joy had already subsided, but after hearing this boy's words, my anger started to rise...
"I can't control your anger for now, but you'll soon see my anger."
"What...what are you going to do?"
Huanxi picked up the bamboo stick in his hand and waved it, making a whooshing sound.
"A good son is made under the stick. I am not your elder and have no right to teach you, but beating is the way to success. Please bear with it for a while."
"Why? I'm not wrong! Being her a concubine is already a great honor for her! For a peasant girl to be my concubine is already a great honor..."
Before Chu Yu finished shouting... the happy bamboo sticks hit him again and again.
"Why? I'll teach you. First of all, my daughter will not have anything to do with you!"
"Secondly, who do you think you are? If you want my Xiao Pan, you have to follow you."
"Third, do you think women are independent individuals?"
楚玉还是一脸不服,欢喜接着揍他,并试图用'爱'感化他。
"My little Pan is educated and well-educated. Who the hell do you think you are to ask my daughter to be your concubine?"
Seeing that he was still in the same state, and since words couldn't make him understand... Huanxi could only silently increase the strength of the bamboo stick in her hand.
_
"Is it wrong?" Huanxi sat aside, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea elegantly. The bamboo stick was placed on the stone table, and it seemed that he was tired of beating.
"wrong."
"Where is wrong?"
"Women are also human beings... They have their own thoughts... I shouldn't impose my own ideas on them..."
"Very good. I wish to find a devoted person and stay with her till old age. A man's skill is not that he has many women in his harem, but that he loves and is loyal to one person."
Chu Yu was a little shocked when he heard such remarks for the first time. He had been taught since he was a child that women were just tools for reproducing offspring. Both his father and his mother taught him this.
He was only fifteen years old, and his father was already arranging some noble ladies for him to choose from. He just didn't want to, so he escaped from the capital and traveled all the way to Shang'an Mansion.
When he saw Zhao Pan that day, his heart skipped a beat and he naturally took her into his backyard.
But the words spoken by the woman in front of him reset his brain.
Huanxi noticed his reaction and realized that this kid was probably the one who could listen to the gossip.
"If you have any other questions, you can ask me. Otherwise, this beating will not be in vain."
At this moment, the word "embarrassed" was an understatement to describe Chu Yu. He stared blankly at Huanxi who was sitting at the top, his eyes as clear as a college student.
“Why do you wish to find a like-minded person?”
Huanxi didn't expect him to ask this question, so she could only explain to him:
"It's easy to understand, right? You only want to win the heart of that one person. Spring, summer, autumn, winter, day and night, you only want to be with her."
Chu Yu lowered his head and began to recall the memories in his memory.
His father had three concubines and six courtyards, while his mother was just the most insignificant of the women. Her looks were ordinary, but if there was one thing she had, it was her exceptional talent. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given birth to such a brilliant child.
But even such a smart woman would become jealous and crazy towards other women because her husband neglects her.
When he was little, he didn't understand why this happened. Couldn't his father have only his mother as his wife?
But Dad was very busy, so every time he came to Mom's yard, he would leave without even having a meal, leaving Mom alone staring at the yard gate in a daze.
At that time, he swore that he would not become a man like his father.
But time passed, he grew up, and eventually became like his father.
"I... I understand." He got up from the ground, endured the pain in his body and bowed to Huanxi.
Huanxi glanced at his movements but didn't react much. If he didn't show any guilt at this moment, then this beating would have been in vain.
"Alright, since you know you're wrong and admit it, I'll pretend it never happened. I'll ask Su Yun to bring you some medicine, and remember to ask Buyan to give it to you."
"No... no need." Chu Yu's expression was a little strange, awkward and a little embarrassed.
"Anyway, I'll deliver the medicine. Whether you use it or not is up to you. You don't have to feel embarrassed or anything. This matter is over. I won't say a single word about it to anyone else."
Kids of this age were the most annoying yellow-haired kids outside of junior high and high school in their previous lives. It would be strange if they would feel good after being beaten.
But...jade cannot be made into a useful object without being carved, and a naughty child cannot become a talented person without being beaten.
She was over 30 years old in her previous life. If she had been born in ancient times, she would have given birth to this boy. It would not be a loss for him to be beaten.
Coming out of the winter courtyard, I felt happy and relaxed all over. It's true that if you have energy, you have to let it out. It feels so good to destroy the whole world.
"Bu Yan, go in and find your master."
There was no expression of joy or anger in her tone, which made Bu Yan a little confused.
"Oh... okay." After saying that, he ran in, smiled happily, shook his head and left the winter courtyard.
She went to the medicine garden at the back and found Su Yun, who told her to send some ointment for Dongyuan's abrasions.
"Ma'am, the peppers are starting to ripen. Should we start making chili sauce?"
Huanxi nodded. Her workshop was almost completed. It would be a good time to make pickled peppers while they were still small.
"Pick some unripe peppers and make pickled peppers. There isn't much supply right now, so you guys should work hard first. We'll hire more people when the ones in the village behind us are ripe."
"Okay, I'll arrange someone right away."
"Report anything you're missing to He Yuanyuan and have her arrange for the purchase. Remember, absolutely nothing should be missing from the recipe. We're focusing on reputation, so we can't afford to be short on weight or quantity."
"I remember."
"There's nothing else to do. Just write down how much you make every day in a list and send it to my study every day." Only by seeing the data can I know how many people to recruit and calculate how much I can earn.
"Yes."
When she reached the small courtyard of Shuxiangju, Yu Yan was reading a book in the middle of the courtyard. When she saw her coming, she put down the book and asked:
"Have you dealt with it?"
Huanxi sat down and nodded, looking at the books on the table and said with a smile: "Do you know what I'm doing?"
"I know it."
"You know me pretty well, but better than you think."
"Oh? What's going on?"
Huanxi shook his head and smiled very interestingly.
"It cannot be said or said."
"Okay, I believe in your ability. But I saw that Chu Yu when he came out of the Winter Courtyard last time. If I remember correctly, he is from the Chu family."
"If Chu Yu is not a member of the Chu family, then whose family is she?" As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that there was something wrong with what she said.
"This Chu family...isn't it from the capital?" Huanxi asked cautiously. She wanted to see Yu Yan shaking her head, but things did not go as she wished. Yu Yan smiled and nodded.
"You mean....I beat up a prince?"
