6.1 - Brotherly love and respect

　　It was snowing heavily. Several maids were sweeping the snow in front of the door. Aunt Liu walked to the side door and looked out, muttering, "It's already dark... My little ancestor, why did you choose this day to cause trouble? You really don't know the seriousness of the matter!"

　　She was fat and walked around in the snow, making the ground full of snow flakes that could not be swept clean.

　　Xiao Cui'er pouted and said, "Madam Liu, the young master must have gone to the theater. There is a character called Mei Sheng who is very popular recently. The young master has lost his soul for him. He didn't even remember that the eldest young master is coming back today and the whole family is going to have a reunion dinner together."

　　Their second young master has always been absurd, and everyone serving in the courtyard knows it, but they just don't dare to tell anyone.

　　Aunt Liu glared at her and spat, "You are such a big mouth, you spill everything! It's fine if you say it in your own yard, but if the news gets to the ears of the first lady, the second concubine will sell you out!"

　　After saying that, he glared at her fiercely again, twisted his fat body, and went into the house.

　　Xiao Cui'er made faces behind her and snorted, "It's the Republic of China now, and human rights are equal. But she still keeps using those old rules to make excuses. She really thinks she is half the master. Who cares about her?"

　　The girls next to her were all amused by her, but quickly fell silent.

　　This is Marshal Shen's residence. The Shen family was once an important family in the imperial court, and they are even more powerful now. The rules in the mansion are very strict, and no matter how much people outside talk about human rights and equality, it has nothing to do with this mansion.

　　People outside say that the Marshal wants to restore his country and become emperor.

　　"It's all my fault for spoiling him in the past. He's such a bad boy!"

　　The second concubine was so anxious that she stamped her feet, her neat nails almost pinching her palms, "Ming Cheng is coming, the whole family is going to pick him up, the Marshal said that no one can be left behind, but he is the one who is missing! How can I explain this to the Marshal? Those troublemakers are waiting to see me make a fool of myself!"

　　She was wearing a peach cheongsam with a brown fur coat on the outside. She was plump. Although not as beautiful as she was when she was young, she could not hide her charm. Now that the fifth concubine was brought into the mansion, she still had a say in front of the Marshal.

　　But this son is really disappointing!

　　She slammed the table and said to Aunt Liu, "I don't care which theater he is in, go find some servants and bring him back to me, even if you have to tie him up!"

　　Aunt Liu advised: "The second young master is the most face-conscious, so let's just have someone tie him up and make him lose face in front of his friends. I'm afraid it will... not end well."

　　The second concubine sneered, "He cares about his reputation, but doesn't he care about mine? I always praise him in front of the Marshal, saying that he is ambitious and has worked hard to learn foreign languages, and is just waiting to help my father solve his problems. I praised him to the sky, but now he has directly demolished my stage. Why did I give birth to a debt collector?"

　　Aunt Liu said, "The second young master sometimes makes mistakes, but he never makes a big mistake. This time he is probably just angry. He and the eldest young master have always been at odds with each other. Now that the eldest young master has come back with a foreign education and has become more capable, and is valued by the Marshal, he probably feels that he is being looked down upon and is having a quarrel with the Marshal."
