Jiayi was stunned for a moment before following the child and running in that direction. He wanted to rescue the "bean sprout dish" as well.

The sturdy child, who was originally standing to the side and watching, followed the child who was protecting them, moved a little two steps, then stopped, a little two steps, then stopped again. Now that he saw Jia Yi running towards that direction, he hurriedly ran over as well.

"Bean sprout vegetables" into the arms of his teammates, only then did he cry. Tears and snot flowed out as he wiped the child's body.

He gently caressed the other party's back and whispered something into his ear while massaging his knee. It seemed like he was used to comforting others.

The family guard stood in front of them, staring at the other two strong children.

Just now, he looked a bit ashamed and didn't dare to say anything more. However, the other person didn't know his fault at all. He picked up the ball and handed it to Jia Yi, "Young Master, we've won!"

Jiayi took the ball from his hand and threw it to the side. He ran back and squatted down as well to comfort "bean sprout vegetables."

I whispered to Lan Li and told her to hurry up and bring me a plate of pastries.

After a while, Lan Lingyun came in quickly with a pile of boxes. I took them and carried them in my hands. After going around behind the blue chiffon cabinet, I left through the back door and followed the wall to the front door. Once again, I passed through the hall and entered the East Room.

"Aiya, what's going on?"

I smiled at the two glaring sides and set the box of pastries on the kang table.

Jiayi looked at the other party and grunted, but did not reply.

The "bean sprout dish" was still in his companion's embrace, sobbing softly. As I approached, the two children winced, and even their crying became a moan.

I caressed his head with a smile and asked, "How about it?" Do you need a doctor to take a look? "

Short, prickly hair on a bald head.

"There's no need …" He buried his face in the arms of another child and looked very shy.

"Go and check on him and see if he's alright."

I pointed to the child who was holding him.

He quickly sized me up and lowered his head in response.

The child crouched down and tried several times to pull the bean sprout dish up from the ground, but to no avail.

Lan Lingyun, who was standing behind me, wanted to help me, but I quietly pulled on her sleeve. She understood, stopped her steps, and watched with me.

Jiayi looked at the two children's clothes and then looked at his own body, which was covered in blue butterfly lines. His mouth puckered and he didn't move forward.

The situation was in a deadlock.

Suddenly, a figure rushed over from the other side.

"Help me lift him up and put him on my back," he said to the child who had been protecting him.

The two of them worked together to carry the bean sprout. Lan Lingyun quickly led the way and led them to the blue chiffon cabinet.

Jiayi followed behind them with a worried look on his face.

When he passed by the child, he stared at the child on his back and softly said two words.

I didn't hear him, but I could read his lips.

He said "traitor."

Jia Yi glared at him fiercely, then suddenly stopped, pointed at him and yelled, "Get out!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Because we've never seen a time like this when the family speaks so harshly.

The child's face reddened and his fists cracked.

I was secretly shocked. This child wouldn't be so reckless as to hit even the young master, right?

I hurriedly gave Lan Ling a look, and she quickly left the room. Not long after, she brought a few maid servants into the room and stood by the corner, waiting for my orders.

Unexpectedly, the child lowered his head and answered, "Yes." Then he saluted and shouted, "Niu Xiaohu!" before running into the cabinet as if he had oil on his soles.

Not long later, he dragged the child on his back and ran out.

The child looked back again and again. It was obvious that he didn't want to, but he didn't dare to use any force. He could only be pulled outside.

"You can't take him away!"

Jiayi took a sudden step forward and tugged at the child's other hand.

The child in the middle was being pulled on both sides, turning into the word "big". However, from the direction of his toes, it was obvious that he was trying his best to move towards home.

After all, they were a pampered young master, whose physique couldn't be compared to theirs. He and the child in the middle were dragged towards the door slowly, and the carpet on the blue brick under their feet started to wrinkle.

He clenched his teeth and made a noise, then jumped out one word at a time.

"You ~ can ~ take ~ away ~ him ~!"

I hurriedly told Lan Li to stand aside to protect her mother, so as not to hurt the children.

The child in front was not to be outdone. Veins popped out from his forehead as he gnashed his teeth and replied, "He's my younger brother, so why can't I take him away?"

"I am the Young Master, and I order you not to take him away, he is mine!"

When the children in front heard this, they loosened their grip. The family still tried to put in some effort, but they were caught off guard. The two children were taken a few steps back, but were saved from falling down by their mothers' protection.

I pointed at the child standing at the door and said to Lan Li with a smile, "He does have some strength, but it's not very suitable for playing with young master." "Send a safe mother to take this child back and tell his parents what happened in my room today."

A dependable way was to know how to talk and know how to behave appropriately.

Lan Lingyun responded with a smile. She pointed to one of the maid girls and ordered her to go. She personally accompanied the family and led the other child over.

I drank a mouthful of tea from the teacup and asked smilingly, "Your name is Niu Xiaohu?"

The child, shoulders hunched, stood in the middle of the room and nodded.

"This name is quite interesting." I smiled and asked, "Why did he say that you were his younger brother?"

"Because he's my brother." Niu Xiaohu bluntly replied. Then, he suddenly realized that his words did not sound right, and he added, "He's my cousin. His name is Niu Xiaojian."

I smiled and put down the teacup before asking again, "Who is the overseer of flowers and trees in the outer courtyard?"

"He is my uncle, Niu Xiaojian's father."

I smiled and nodded, but in my heart, I was very impressed.

Supervisor Niu was famous for being amiable in the outer court. He was known as "Niu Yidao". Even if he was to stab him, he wouldn't be angry. How could he raise such a domineering son?

"Then what do your parents do?"

"I …" My father is... From the Nine Rivers Manor, my mother, she … I ran away with someone else, so Auntie and Grandpa took me over to live with them. "

Seeing this kid dressed neatly, with clean hands and feet and clear eyes, I thought he was a child raised by his father and mother, but didn't expect to live under someone else's roof.

From the support just now, I feel that this child's nature is not bad.

Furthermore, since the family had already said that they wanted him to be their servant, it wouldn't be good for them to change it again. Out of caution, I wanted to ask this child a few more questions.

"This isn't the first time you and your brother have bullied others, is it? Do you think you did the right thing? "

Niu Xiaohu immediately shrunk his head back into his shoulder, and his face turned red. With both hands behind his back, he looked bashful and wronged. After muttering to himself for a long time, he finally said, "Because auntie is especially good to me, so..."

He was young and had been taken care of by his own uncle. He felt that there was nothing he could do to repay them, so he helped his cousin commit crimes and bullied others.

It was all in and out, the child's way of thinking.

I couldn't help but laugh as I changed the topic. "Why do you want to be a servant?"

The child hesitated for a long time, but he could not come up with a reason.

I clapped my hands and smiled. "Is it because your uncle and aunt wanted your brother to be selected, but were afraid that he would have a violent temper and cause trouble? So they sent you over to help him?"

After a long moment, the child finally nodded his head, accepting my words.

It seemed that this child's usual demeanor was very stable. Otherwise, Manager Niu would not have let him accompany his son.

I smiled and instructed Lan Li, "Go and pack a small, four-colored gift box. After the matter is settled, you will personally bring this child to the house. Tell Manager Niu that I saw this child being meticulous and sensible, smart and lively, and also aware of his faults, so I decided to keep him here as a playmate for Second Young Master." "If I don't do it well in the future, the number of days I'll be able to go home will be fewer. I hope that the two of them won't be estranged from this child."

The most important part of his words was that it was time to correct the mistake.

I believe that Manager Niu will not be able to understand what I want to emphasize if he reaches his current position.

Lan Lingyun responded with a smile. Her eyebrows twitched as if she had something to say. Seeing that her house was in such an inconvenient state, she decided to endure it first.

I pointed at Liu Xiaohu and instructed, "I think the child has been waiting since morning. He hasn't even eaten lunch, so he should be hungry. Bring him out to eat something!"

The mothers knew that I was going to ask the other two children alone, so they hurriedly led Liu Xiaohu down.

I can keep one, he wants to keep the one in the cabinet, he whispers in my ear, he wants to keep the one that will save people.

I smiled and nodded, agreeing with him.

Choosing a servant for the family was to play with him. If he were to enter here, not only would he be unable to accompany the young master, he might even have to worry for him.

Thinking about the fact that these four children were chosen by Lan Lingyun, I always felt that Lan Lingyun had her own intentions. But up until now, I haven't been able to find anything, so I could only send them away later and ask Lan Li.

After a while, the two children came out of the blue chiffon cabinet, holding onto each other.

The child who was protecting me took a step forward and knelt in front of me. He kowtowed and said in all seriousness, "Miss, in reply, he didn't receive any injuries. Only his arms and legs were bruised. He'll be fine in two days."

Bean cake?

I looked at the child kneeling on one side, with a big head and a thin neck and a body like a stick.

Bean cake? The bean sprout is more vivid …

I smiled and nodded. "Go get two bottles of Yunnan medicine and two bottles of safflower oil. Bring them home to this child."

Lan Li agreed. There was no need for her to move her feet. Naturally, there was a maidservant who came to find her. She handed Lan Li the bean cake at the door.

I laughed and asked the child's name.

"My name is Paddy Boy."

He lowered his head and replied in a very orderly manner.

I smiled at Lan Li. "That name is quite interesting."

"It's because her mother suddenly gave birth to him when she was picking up rice in the field, so she gave him a name called 'Paddy Boy'."

I did not expect Lan Li to know such a "story".

Lan pointed at him and laughed, "Miss, you don't know who's child he is? He was the eldest grandson of Old Lady Gong! Her mother used to be a little girl in the old lady's house.

I really have no impression of Cinnabar, but I know who old lady Gong is.

I smiled at him. "Didn't your grandmother and your parents go to the manor? Why are you still here? "

Paddy Boy was still kneeling on the ground with his head bowed. "Because Grandmother decided to make Manager Lu's daughter my daughter-in-law, so she asked me to stay at her house and work for her."

I laughed.

This was the eldest son and eldest grandson, and they were actually going to marry him!

I had some doubts as I asked Lan Lingyun: "I remember that in Manager Lu's family, there is a son, right?"

Lan Ling nodded and said, "A few days ago, I saw Manager Lu's three sons playing outside the alley."

"It's because Big Girl and I were born the same year and the same month, so …"

I shook my head.

This old lady Gong, seriously … He was confused as usual …

I nodded and stopped getting involved with the Gong Family and the Lu Family. I smiled at him and said, "Kid, Second Young Master thinks that you're very good. What do you think about choosing you to be his servant?"

Although it is a question, but I think that everyone will understand, my meaning is for sure.

However, Paddy Boy suddenly raised his head and stared at me with a pair of sparkling eyes. "I don't want to be a pageboy. I want to be a pancake pawn!"

When I heard this, I felt a little unhappy.

They didn't choose a master when selecting a servant, but they were chosen by the family.

Jia Yi was also unhappy, but he was still a child after all. He spoke bluntly and directly ran over to grab his clothes. "I don't want him. I want you to play with me."

Second Young Master, please, please, please, please let the bean cake be your servant!

Jia Yi was scared silly. The hand that was holding onto his clothes loosened. He took two steps back and looked at Shi Yan dumbfoundedly.

Lan Gui whispered into my ear, "This bean cake is the nephew of Liu Xiiniang in the embroidery workshop. Both father and mother died and were kept by her aunt all this time. In recent years, Liu Xiuniang had lost her eyesight, and her family had gradually declined. It was extremely difficult for her to raise a child. Because he often wore tattered clothes and didn't have any parents, many children bullied him. Even Liu Xiu Niang couldn't do anything about it. When I heard that the Second Young Master wanted to choose a servant, I thought I could follow the Young Master to study. I begged the servant several times and even bought a lot of pastries, but I didn't know which one of them saved the money.
