Throughout the dinner table, Mrs. Ying never stopped smiling.
And the uncle seemed to want to show off.
At the dinner table, the uncle deliberately asked Zilu what he thought about the current situation in the world.
"Zilu thinks that in this world, he should be Chu Qiang!"
Facing a table of rare and delicious dishes, Zilu ate and said something casually.
Who would have thought.
The uncle and uncle became interested after hearing this.
I thought Zilu would just talk casually and they wouldn't take it to heart.
After all, in their hearts, no one in Yanfu's family can understand him.
Who would have thought that Zilu's tone was quite surprising.
"Why not Qin Qiang, Zhao Qiang?"
The uncle asked with a smile.
at the moment.
The uncle didn't know it, but Zilu had already complained about him a lot at this time.
Zilu knew that in the past, whenever his father had some money, he went to restaurants to drink and eat meat with others.
Now that he had finally come across this rare meal of meat, his father was giving him a test.
But if it came to refuting or expressing dissatisfaction, Zilu didn't have the courage.
"The people of Qin were good at fighting, but they fought to the death with Zhao. Zhao had Li Mu, so both sides suffered losses. Zhao was harmed, and Qin was seriously injured by the famous general Li Mu. However, when they went south to Chu, there was no war all year round, and there were more than a million soldiers, so in the future
It must be Chu Qiang!"
Zilu looked at the food and slowly read aloud.
I don’t know where I heard this Chu Qiang’s theory, so I recited it silently right now.
However, Shui Yan looked at his uncle and uncle, listened carefully with his eyes closed, and finally opened his eyes and nodded slowly.
This scene almost made Shui Yan choke.
"Mom, eat some food!"
Shui Yan calmed down, but fortunately he didn't make a fool of himself.
Mrs. Xiao looked at the food in the bowl that Yan'er had put for her. If it had been in the past, Ms. Xiao would have smiled.
But right now, Xiao Shi still has no appetite.
The reason was that looking at Ying's contemptuous eyes, Xiao didn't know what the other person was thinking.
The uncle's behavior clearly showed contempt for Yan'er.
"Zi Lu wants to go to Chu in the future?"
The uncle naturally saw Shui Yan's appearance at this time, and the smile on his face was even brighter. Then he looked at his son and asked.
Since my son has said this.
His ambition in the future must be the Kingdom of Chu.
"Dad, I want to stay in Qi!"
However, Zilu's next words made the confident uncle suddenly freeze up.
"That's good! The current King of Qi is a wise king in the world, and our great Qi is also a strong country. Serving the motherland will live up to what you have learned throughout your life."
The uncle was stunned for a moment, but he was still a scholar after all, so he nodded and praised.
Shui Yan listened to the conversation between the father and son and couldn't help complaining in his heart. It's not the same as saying nothing.
Think of this.
Shui Yan stood up and went to make a bowl of rice and corn again.
When Yingshi and others saw this, they all snickered. It was grandfather and grandmother who saw this. They looked at Shui Yan as if they were looking at a piece of rotten wood.
Look at Zilu, he has already studied the world situation and has his own opinions.
When watching Shui Yan, all I can do is eat.
You deserve to have no future in this life.
At this time, the uncle seemed to be inspired and said something.
"Although Chu and Qi are good, it's hard to compare to Bole!"
After saying that, the uncle sighed and turned his head seriously: "Dad, in two days, Zihuai wants to go to Qin."
As soon as this sentence came out.
Everyone in the whole house was stunned.
Uncle and aunt looked at each other.
Even Yanfu and Xiao knew what the uncle wanted to do next.
The fact was not beyond their expectations, and then the uncle started to mention the matter of money.
"This place is thousands of miles away from the state of Qin. It may cost tens of thousands of money, and it will be difficult for Zihuai."
The uncle said with a troubled expression, but he did not finish the rest of the words.
"Ten thousand dollars?"
"What??"
As the uncle finished speaking, before my grandparents could speak, my uncle and the others couldn't sit still and exclaimed.
Ten thousand dollars, that's enough to buy three slaves.
How could their family have so much money?
Does the uncle want to empty out this family?
At this moment, even Zilu looked at his father in astonishment. He opened his mouth and forgot to chew, just staring blankly.
"Huai'er! My family can't afford so much money!"
Grandma said with a troubled expression.
Grandfather's face also darkened at this moment. If he wanted to come up with the ten thousand yuan, he might have to sell the remaining fields.
However, if the land is sold, what will the family eat in the future?
"If I continue to stay in the Qi State, I fear that I will not be able to recognize my talents for the rest of my life. It happened to be a war between Qin and Zhao, and the Qin State was defeated, so I went to the Qin State and wanted to join Li Si, the current Qin court captain."
The uncle said.
Then, as if he was afraid that his grandfather would not leave him, the uncle explained: "In the early years when Li Si was still in Jixia Academy, Zi Huai had several conversations with Li Si. Master Li also admired Zi Huai."
At the dinner table, the uncle once again brought up the old stories that he had said countless times.
As for whether Li Si thinks highly of his uncle, no one knows.
But Li Si and his uncle had met several times, so that was true.
Even Uncle Zitai fell silent at this time. Long ago, when Xunzi was still in the academy, he followed his eldest brother and did pass by Li Si.
Every time Li Si and his eldest brother bowed respectfully to each other.
Now that Li Si has become famous in Qin, his brother often talks about his friendship with Li Si, and he has mentioned it countless times.
Thinking of this, Uncle Zitai was also a little moved.
Although he understands his temperament, regardless of whether he has friendship with Li Si or not, Qin was defeated just a few years ago and is indeed eager to acquire talents.
If the eldest brother can really join Li Si's disciples.
At that time, he could naturally go to Qin to join Li Si.
Seeing the rare feast of wine and meat in front of him, but it was not as good as the food thrown away by the dignitaries in the court, his uncle Zitai was obviously a little moved.
"Even if we sell our family's fertile farmland, I'm afraid the difference will be a little worse."
After saying this, his uncle glanced casually at his second brother, Yanfu.
At this moment.
Everyone at the dinner table also had the same thoughts as the uncle and uncle.
Seeing this, Yan's father had not yet spoken, but Shi was unwilling and sneered.
"My family can't afford the money!"
Mr. Xiao knew very well the character of this family.
But Shi refused mercilessly, not to mention his uncle and uncle, even his grandfather frowned.
Perhaps he understood the character of Mr. Xiao, so his grandfather did not point the finger at Mr. Yan, but looked at Yan's father with dissatisfaction.
"Mother Yan, this is your fault, why can't you see it?"
As the uncle's wife, Mrs. Ying couldn't help but speak, but she was cut off by Mrs. Xiao just halfway through her words.
"Why can't I see you? If you want me to help, just give me all the land deeds and I can negotiate a good price for you. If you don't have ten thousand yuan, I, Shi, will make up for it for you."
Mr. Xiao stood up and looked at everyone with mocking eyes.
When I need it, I contribute money and effort, and when I enjoy happiness, why don't I see you thinking about Yanfu?
She didn't take into account the grievances she suffered here before.
It was said that the family was divided, but after the separation, what was given to them?
If Yan's father had not worked so hard to feed the three of them, mother and son, the three of them would have starved to death long ago.
Now the families have been separated, and Yan's father is still asked to pay.
This is not how bullying works!
Shui Yan listened to his mother's words and saw that everyone was too guilty to look directly at his mother. Shui Yan called his mother mighty in his heart.
Obviously, this family knew in their hearts that if they really wanted to sell their land, a emaciated camel would still be a camel, and it would probably not be difficult to make 10,000 yuan.
As for why you say you can’t get it!
It's not that my grandparents were reluctant to part with it, so they kept an eye on it and asked my father to use up their few savings in a roundabout way.
Just when Shui Yan thought that his uncle's family should be speechless in the face of his mother's words.
Who would have thought that the next sentence would make Yan's father raise his head.
"If I am appreciated by Li Si in the future, I will take Shui Yan to Qin and take him with me."
The uncle took a deep breath, looked to one side and said calmly.
Obviously, this sentence is undoubtedly a compromise, and it is also his promise to Yan's family.
After he finished speaking, he felt his wife, Yingshi, pulling his sleeve. The uncle ignored her, sighed helplessly, and glanced at Shui Yan with disgust.
And what the uncle said.
And it did work.
Mr. Xiao and Yan's father looked at each other, breathing rapidly.
Obviously, for the couple, now that the eldest son Shui Shou has been found, only Shui Yan is the one they can't let go of the most.
"real?"
"really?"
Faced with the uncle's promise, both Shi and Yanfu couldn't help but get excited, and their voices even trembled.
Although if all their belongings were sold, the couple would have nothing.
But if Shui Yan can have a future, the couple will be willing to do so even if they are hungry.
In Mrs. Shi's heart, although she still would not forgive the family for what happened five years ago, but now that it was about Shui Yan, she would rather put aside her prejudices.
After all, in her eyes.
The sky and the earth are vast, not as big as her two sons.
"Hmph~!"
Mrs. Ying snorted coldly, as if she was quite dissatisfied with her uncle's promise.
Perhaps in her eyes, Shui Yan was not worthy of being with his uncle at all.
Just when grandparents, uncles, aunts and others were all sneering in their hearts, they all knew that the shrewd Mr. Shi would definitely agree.
No one expected it.
After Shi and Yanfu finished talking, a voice suddenly sounded.
"You really know how to teach me? Don't you want me to carry your shit and urinate for you?"
