Chapter 147: Is the fish now hooked?

When the old man and others returned home from the Yamen, they heard that Liang Youxiao was back.

Old Master Liang was alright. On the other hand, Eldest Master Liang, the direct heir of the Duke, was holding back his anger.

He said: “That brat finally knows how to come back. I have to clean him up this time.”

“Xiao Liu was really out of the line this time. He should be taught a lesson.”

“Yes, Dad. You asked him to go back to the yard to reflect, but he ran away secretly with the young master of the Fei Family.”

“How can the young master from the Liang family go into business? It’s too embarrassing.”

Several brothers of the Liang couldn’t help fanning the flames.

Liang Youxiao’s Eldest and Second brothers couldn’t help but frowned, and were about to step forward and persuade them.

The Fourth Master, who had a good relationship with Liang Youxiao, also wanted to help and say a few good words.

Who knew that Old Master Liang touched his beard and said: “He deserves a beating!”

The two could only take back their steps and sympathize with their inconspicuous younger brother.

But that boy was shameless. He dared to sneak away even after their grandfather told him to reflect the closed door.

The Fourth Master also swallowed what he was about to say.

Old Master Liang took his son and grandson to the old lady’s yard.

As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the old lady’s hearty laughter coming from inside.

“I won again. You give me my money, give it to me.”

Old Master Liang has a black line on his head. What does this mean?

After entering, he saw the old lady and three ladies sitting on the square table, holding small pieces of wood in their hands, not knowing what they were doing.

The other two daughters-in-law, the grandsons, and the granddaughters sat together, staring.

Old Master Liang was very confused: “What is going on?”

Except for the old lady, everyone else immediately stood up and paid respect.

Old Madam Liang smiled and said, “We are playing mahjong.”

Old Master Liang raised an eyebrow: “Mahjong?”

What’s that?

Old Madam Liang said cheerfully: “Xiao Liu went out of town to help me find something to relieve my boredom. It’s really fun.”

Now that she has delegated most of the housekeeping rights, she has nothing to do after breakfast, which is boring.

But after playing mahjong, she felt time flew by so fast, and she was very energetic.

Old Master Liang: “……”

He has rarely seen his old wife so happy.

But he still glared at Liang Youxiao: “You bastard, you went out to play, but now you bother your grandmother after coming home.”

Before Liang Youxiao could say anything, Old Madam Liang stopped and said: “Why are you scolding my good grandson?”

“Can’t I have fun to relieve my boredom?”

“Only Xiao Liu always remembers me, an old lady, wherever he goes. He is the most filial person. But you scold him? You are hurting my feelings again.”

Old Master Liang: “……”

He just said something casually, when did he hurt her?

Other grandchildren: “……”

Xiao Liu was the most filial grandson who was looking for fun for the old lady. They were all picked up.

Eldest Master Liang was originally going to scold his son, but now that he saw that his mother was scolding even his father, he immediately pretended to be a quail.

Dad, you should take over.

Old Master Liang has always been a bit afraid of his wife. When he saw his wife being unhappy, he immediately changed the subject.

“What kind of fun thing did he give you? Let me see too.”

Let that brat go for the time being.

When the old lady heard this, she smiled happily and waved: “Come here, I’ll teach you how to play mahjong. This mahjong is fun.”

Old Master Liang was disdainful: What’s so fun with some broken wood?

But he still sat down to save face and said, “Okay, I’ll come and play too.”

When he sat down, it was difficult for the other daughters-in-law to sit down.

So Liang Youxiao joined in.

Then he said to Fourth Master, who also loved playing: “Fourth Uncle, you come and have some fun too.”

The Fourth Master was not polite and sat in another seat.

The other gentlemen couldn’t say anything, so they could only find a place to sit down and watch.

The Eldest Master Liang was even more angry and glared at Liang Youxiao sinisterly. He wished he could drag his son out right now and give him a good beating.

Liang Youxiao has long been used to it. He was now thick-skinned and pretended he didn’t see it.

Then he and the old lady taught the old man how to play mahjong.

After one stick of incense, the old man also had fun.

Then he waved to his sons who were still here, he said, “You should go back to your courtyard to rest first.”

“By the way, I don’t feel very well. I won’t go to the Yamen this afternoon. Eldest Son, please help me take a leave.”

Eldest Master Liang: “……”

When you were playing just now, you were so full of energy, why did you suddenly feel uncomfortable?

He didn’t expect that even the old man would be harmed by his son. He wanted to play so much that he didn’t want to go to the Yamen.

He looked at Liang Youxiao with a dark face and said: “Come to my yard later.”

Liang Youxiao immediately asked for reinforcements: “Grandpa, grandma, my father wants to beat me.”

Old Madam Liang looked at her eldest son unhappily, “My dear grandson finally came back, what do you want to do?”

He also hummed and said: “Just to have a good talk.”

It was rare for the old man to say anything good for Liang Youxiao, “Eldest Son, let it go this time. I will deal with Xiao Liu’s mistakes in the future.”

Eldest Master Liang: “……”

I don’t know who just said he should be beaten.

Several other people also had black lines on their heads. The old man was bribed.

Then Old Master Liang waved to them in disgust: “Get out, you get out. If you stay here, how can we play mahjong?”

The group of people was speechless and had no choice but to leave.

Out of the yard, the Fourth Madam smiled at the Eldest Madam and said, “Sister-in-law, did Xiao Liu give you mahjong?”

“If yes, I will go to your yard to beat you in the afternoon.”

The Third Madam smiled and said, “I’ll go too.”

The Second Madam also said: “Then I will go and have some fun too.”

The Eldest Madam didn’t have any mahjong in her hand. Just when she was about to decline, Liang Youxiao’s entourage came over with a box.

“Madam, this is a gift from the young master.”

The Eldest Madam was happy when she saw it. As expected, her younger son was still filial.

So she smiled at the other ladies and said, “Okay, after the meal, you all can come to my yard and play mahjong.”

The Eldest Master: “……”

The others: “……”

How come these ladies are also obsessed with it? Is that mahjong so fun?

Because of mahjong, Liang Youxiao not only was not punished, but the old lady and the eldest madam also rewarded him with many good things.

The other grandsons of the Liang family couldn’t help but be jealous.

This bastard, he didn’t do anything serious, he just coaxed the old lady.

Liang Youxiao didn’t go to Xi Rui and others and spent the next two days playing mahjong with the old man and the old lady.

The old man felt that playing mahjong with the old lady was not enough, and he also disliked the wooden mahjong for not being of high quality, so he asked someone to make white jade mahjong.

The next few days, the old man went to play mahjong with his old friends.

Seeing that the young master hadn’t gone out yet, the servant who was serving him couldn’t help but ask: “Sir, aren’t you going to see Young Master Xi?”

He also wants to go and watch the show!

Liang Youxiao drank tea leisurely, “What’s the point of coming to him? People who don’t know think I’m trying to trick him.”

“I put out the bait, of course, I have to wait for them to take the bait themselves.”

The servant was confused: “When did you put out the bait?”

How come he doesn’t know?

Liang Youxiao smiled proudly: “Didn’t you see the old man go out with the white jade mahjong he asked to make these days?”

Going out to play mahjong with old friends was one of them, it was actually to show off. The main point was that his grandson traveled far away to find something to relieve the boredom of the old couple.

The servant: “……”

I feel like you are using the old man as bait.

He wondered if the old man would want to break his young master’s legs if he knew about it……

As he said this, someone came to report that Young Master Xi and others were visiting.

Liang Youxiao opened his fan fanned it coquettishly, and proudly said to his crony: “Look, the fish has taken the bait now.”

The other big fish might probably be hooked so fast too.
