Chapter 25 Bullying others, the coolness of the cool (1)
(Asking for Sanjiang votes and recommended votes)
Wang Qi had been holding hands all day long in anticipation, and finally it was July 27th, the day when the government school was on holiday. The clan's carriage had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, but there was no sign of Uncle Yan, and Dao Chi's heart sank slightly. .
Wang Qi couldn't wait any longer and loudly called Dao Chi to get in the car. He had already agreed with Dao Chi that he wanted Dao Chi to accompany him to Shen's house.[]
Dao Chi thought for a while, then gave Jingzhe a few words, sent him home first, and got into Wang Qi's carriage.
Wang Qi directly ordered the coachman to go straight to the Shen family mansion instead of returning to the clan house.
When they got off the bus outside the gate of Shen's house, the two brothers had just gotten off the bus when they noticed a carriage coming from behind. The person getting off the carriage was none other than Liu Congyun who had just said goodbye at the gate of the palace.
Wang Qi crossed her arms and looked at him and said, "It's rare to see Liu Damao at the door of Shen's house. What are you doing here?"
Liu Congyun still smiled warmly and said: "It's like a seventh generation brother visiting his classmates and friends."
Wang Qi rolled his eyes and said: "Go ahead and fool the devil. Who doesn't know that you guys have been fighting each other since you were young? Humph, you must have bad intentions and want to watch Shen Fenghuang's excitement."
Liu Congyun was not annoyed and continued to talk nicely: "Even if you want to watch the fun, you have to meet Brother Shen first before you can enjoy the fun. Brother Seventh Brother and I are standing on the street arguing like this, I'm afraid it will also become a bustle in the eyes of others." .”
Wang Qi snorted coldly. Although he was a little reluctant, he knew there was no point in arguing at the door of other people's houses, so he ordered Li Qiu to knock on the door.
The second uncle of the Shen family met with them in person, and his attitude was quite kind, but Shen Hexuan was not there. According to the second uncle of the Shen family, the day after returning from the palace, Shen Hexuan set off for a study tour in Nanjing.
When they came out of the Shen family mansion, both Wang Qi and Liu Congyun looked a little ugly. Wang Qi seemed to be getting more and more worried; Liu Congyun was vaguely resentful. It was not just that Uncle Shen didn't keep anyone, but also that Shen Hexuan didn't. Waiting to see him off before setting off.
Dao Chi touched his chin. He was a little worried about his home. After saying goodbye to Liu Congyun, he asked Wang Qi to take him home quickly.
Wang Qi then regained her composure and said, "Okay, I'll send you back as soon as possible so that my aunt and uncle won't worry."
After all, Wang Qi was in low spirits. When she arrived at the door of Waijiu Fang, Wang Qi did not get out of the car and said: "Give me a message to my great-aunt. I will go back today and come back to say hello to my great-aunt in two days."
Dao Chi knew that he was worried about Shen Hexuan who was traveling, so he didn't say anything to explain. This guy is a foodie. Instead of letting him use willpower to restrain his appetite, it would be easier to worry about not being able to eat anymore. At this rate. Keep going, and by the end of the year, Wang Qi should be able to get rid of that fat body. His facial features are not ugly, and by then, even if his appearance is not comparable to that of Shen Hexuan and Wang Sanlang, he can still be regarded as a handsome young man.
Watching Wang Qi's carriage drive away, Dao Chi knocked on the door behind him.
Jingzhe came out to open the door, his expression vaguely angry.
Dao Chi's heart sank and he asked, "What happened to Uncle Yan?"
Jingzhe said: "Uncle Yan's leg is broken."
Dao Chi asked with a solemn face: "Are the rest of the family okay?"
Jingzhe hesitated and said, "The villain only saw the old lady. She seemed to be in low spirits."
The Taoist idiot said: "Have you asked me clearly? What is going on?"
Jingzhe said: "Yesterday, the eldest man from the tenth house brought the head of the Tian family in Houjie to see the old lady at home. It seemed that he said something he shouldn't have said. The old lady asked Uncle Yan to chase him away. Under the push, Uncle Yan was pushed to the ground and folded. Broken leg." When he said this, he felt particularly sad and angry.
Although he lived in Waijiufang for a few days, Uncle Yan treated him very well, and he also respected Uncle Yan very much.
Dao Chi did not rush to enter the second door, but went to the south room, where Yan Bo and his wife lived.
There was a strong smell of herbs in the room. Uncle Yan was lying on the bed, his face pale. Aunt Yan was not in the room, but she was busy working in the inner courtyard.
Seeing the Taoist idiot come in, Uncle Yan said with shame: "I am ashamed of my entrustment to the young master. After all, Shi Fang made the old lady angry."
"Have you thought of a way to send a letter to the clan?" Dao Chi asked.
Uncle Yan shook his head and said: "Uncle Zhen sent someone two days ago to say that he went to Wuchang Mansion and will not come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. He said that if anything happens here, he can also go to find Grandma Zhen." The old slave thought
The young master is coming home today, so it is better to ask the young master to make the decision, so there is no self-control."
Dao Chi nodded, comforted the old man, told Jingzhe to take care of Uncle Yan, and then went to the inner courtyard.
Shun Niang was waiting in the yard with slightly swollen eye circles. When she saw Dao Chi, she forced a smile.
"What's going on? What's causing trouble in the tenth room again?" Dao Chi asked in a low voice.
Shun Niang's eyes immediately turned red and she said, "It's all because of me that my grandmother is so sad."
Dao Chi thought about Jingzhe's words about "the head of the Tian family" and guessed it. He glanced at Shun Niang and said, "Sister, don't think too much about it. I'm going to see my grandmother first."
Shun Niang nodded and said, "Well, I'll go to the kitchen to see what's available for dinner."
The Taoist idiot stood at the door of the main room and raised his voice: "Grandma, my grandson is back."
"Come here." Wang Ning's voice was hoarse and not as loud as usual.
Dao Chi opened the curtain and entered the door, and saw Wang Ning sitting on the couch outside, and Grandma Yan standing behind her, tying her bun.
Dao Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandma has a headache?"
Wang Ning shook her head and said, "It's just that the weather has turned cold these days, so I'm afraid of blowing my head, so I cover my head more tightly."
Wang Ning's eyes were still shining, but the haggardness between her brows and eyes could not be concealed.
Dao Chi saw that she was still pretending to be peaceful and didn't want to say more, so he said bluntly: "Grandma, please don't hide it from me, but my sister's marriage has changed?"
Wang Ning said helplessly: "I know I can't hide it from you, a little person. Yesterday, the boss of the tenth house brought Tian Erlang's father to the door and said that he wanted to discuss the marriage of my mother. The originally agreed betrothal silver of 40 taels was doubled.
, I asked for eighty taels, and I couldn’t divide the year. I had to settle everything before Tian Erlang got married.”
The Taoist idiot was a little confused when he heard this: "What's going on with the silver offer?"
"It has been agreed a long time ago that when Tian Erlang comes over, our family will need to pay a total of forty taels of betrothal silver to the Tian family. When your sister grows up and Tian Erlang's family comes, our family will pay ten taels of betrothal silver plus thirty taels of silver.
After the two get married, they will repay the Tian family three taels of silver every year and pay it off in ten years." Wang Ning said.
Only then did the Taoist idiot understand that it turned out that the Tian family did not give their son to others as a son-in-law for nothing. There was also a term for "betrothal silver", and the betrothal silver could be paid in installments.
Dao Chi didn't care whether he liked or disliked Tian Erlang, the cheap brother-in-law who had been arranged in advance. But now that the Shimoda family is together with the tenth family, no matter whether there is any hidden secret, they are all disgusting.
"Since it's a matter between the Tian family and our family, why do the tenth family still want to join in?" asked the Taoist Chi.
Wang Ning snorted coldly: "Shifang promised his granddaughter to the third son of the Tian family, and the two families became in-laws. This idea of raising the betrothal salary may have been suggested by Shifang. Although your sister and Tian Erlang have not made a big decision,
, but the matter of the marriage was not hidden from others. If the marriage fails, who knows what lies will come out to harm your sister. They think that since the old lady has obtained the imperial chastity memorial, she must be vain, and they will use this to hijack the old lady.
It's really a wishful thinking to follow their wishes. Don't say that they exalt the betrothal silver and show such greed and ugliness; even if they don't exalt the betrothal bank, if there is a marriage with the tenth house, I will take the initiative to break off the marriage.
.”
Dao Chi remembered the strange aura of the Tenth Master when he captured Zhou Yan, as well as the greed in his eyes, and felt disgusted in his heart.
I still thought that the water in the well would not interfere with the water in the river, but the outer tenth house had obviously regarded the ninth house as a piece of fat and wanted to swallow it up.
Dao Chi's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said to Wang Ning: "Grandma, since the Tian family's marriage has been canceled, can my sister's marriage be postponed for a while? My grandson will take part in the boy examination next year. If he is lucky enough to pass, my sister will discuss the marriage.
It’s also more respectable.”
Wang Ning nodded and said: "Even if you don't say anything, I think so. The reason why the Tian family dares to go back on their word is just to rely on the power of the tenth family to bully the elders and younger ones of our family. They are useless.
His family originally relied on the Wang family. How could they dare to do this if they were replaced by other heads of the Wang family?
Mrs. Wang Ning was cold-hearted about this marriage, and she did not have any resentment towards Shifang and the Tian family. She just thought that her grandson was still young and Shifang was a scoundrel in the family. What else could she do except temporarily avoid them.
Wang Ning was heartbroken to have her granddaughter suffer such injustice. She actually began to hope that her grandson would really pass the boy examination next year. As long as her grandson has achieved fame and has a promising future, the tenth house will only be flattered, so no one dares to fool around.
Dao Chi didn't intend to let Shifang go just like that.
Shi Fang dared to bully Jiu Fang carelessly, but he was relying on his "power". This "power" was just that there were many nephews and the family's reputation was not good, so no one wanted to provoke their family.
The reason why they came to ask for money under the guise of the Tian family was just to test the bottom line of Waijiu Fang and to see what the relationship between Dao Chi, the heir and grandson, and Twelve Fang were.
If the Twelve Fangs stand up for the Taoist idiots, their Outer Tenth Fangs will probably change their strategies and try to make friends with the Outer Ninth Fangs in every possible way to take advantage of the situation.
, they won’t be polite.
Taoist idiots can see this, why can't Wang Ning see it?
It's just that she was wary of the Twelfth House and didn't want her grandson to get involved too much, and she was afraid that a quarrel would damage her granddaughter's reputation, so she chose to tolerate it temporarily.
On the Taoist side, there are not so many scruples.
He never wanted to borrow the power of the Twelfth Fang, he wanted to borrow the east wind of the Clan. How to bring the relationship between the Clan and the Outer Ninth Fang closer? It is not just that the two young men eat and live together, but also the relationship between them.
is the most important.
The old lady is too strong. Even if the Taoist idiot can support the outer nine houses when she grows up, how many years will it take? How can she still suffer from such cowardice with only relying on the big tree of the clan house?
Wang Qi will definitely like this excitement, but how to do it to minimize the damage to Shun Niang's reputation is a question.
Wise men fear disaster, fools fear punishment; killing people with words is the ultimate punishment.
No matter whether it is the tenth family or the Tian family, they will all be punished...
