Chapter 883: I Laughed
The old man walked in tremblingly, and the mahogany cane in his hand gently knocked on the bluestone floor, and said, "Chu Yun, your health has not been good since you were a child, and your parents are worried about your illness every day.
Fortunately, you have been a self-motivated person since you were a child, well-read and knowledgeable, and you have done well in your articles, but in the past few years, your body has finally improved, but you are busy with fun.
Your parents dissuaded you a lot, you are still stubborn, and now it is becoming more and more ridiculous, do you tell me if you have been to the 'Baihualou' today?"
"I ...... I...... I've been. Chu Yun glanced at everyone timidly, and thought to himself: Now that we have reached such a field, the elders must have found out the matter clearly, and now is not the time for me to lie.
He very obediently admitted it all. Everyone poked their heads with their ears pricked up, and when they heard his answer, they all fell silent.
Although they had all been investigated clearly, the elders and the elders below preferred to believe that they had misseen and misheard.
Hearing his affirmative answer, the elder could only shake his head, so he asked again: "Then have you fought for a long time to win, made a bet with Wang Sanbao, the eldest son of the Wang family, spent 1,000 taels of silver to wrap the famous prostitute Yulan of the 'Hundred Flowers Building' for two months, and gambled with Zeng Lingjing, a gentleman in the city, and folded all the land rent collected in the past six months into the gambling house?
After he finished speaking, he was so angry that he smashed the bluestone slab twice with his cane, and the sound of the bell was loud, and everyone didn't even mumble, they just hated to have to gasp and be the first bird.
Chu Yun also kept his head down all the time, not looking at everyone, not looking at his parents and patriarchs who had always cared for him, not looking at the elders who were full of coercion, and not looking at the other people in the clan who were solemn on the surface but could not hide their joy, and replied lightly: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing"!
For a moment, it was as if none of these things had anything to do with him, or as if they were talking about other people's things, not his own Chu Yun's own doing.
The clansmen were a little uproar when they heard this, and after the elders finished interrogating, they all muttered at the bottom, "I didn't expect this Chu Yun to really do these things, this is too much, the courtesan who chartered Baihualou also used the money from the rent to gamble, and now the patriarch will not spare him." ”
Chu Yun has a very good reputation since he was a child, and although he has been a little embarrassed in recent years, there are not no gentlemen in the clan, and naturally there are more exaggerated and excessive ones than him.
But this time it was so big, and he directly pulled people down to the ancestral hall, this elder is highly respected, Chu Yun still admits it now, this time I am afraid that it is more auspicious and less auspicious, and it is difficult to be good.
Suddenly, it was really a pity of regret, shamelessness, and secret joy, and suddenly there were bursts of whispering one after another.
The patriarch frowned, even though he knew that most of these things were true, but he didn't expect that this virtuous nephew, who he had always loved to pay attention to, would be so unsparing.
At this moment, even if he wanted to help, he couldn't do anything, looking at the whispers of those clansmen below, he had to shout, "Give me silence, you don't look at what place you are staying in, you dare to make such a noise." ”
When everyone heard this, they gradually stopped whispering and continued to listen to the elder. The hall was brightly lit, but everyone felt even heavier.
Seeing that everyone had finally quieted down, the elder asked again, "The monthly number of children in the clan is limited, where did you get the 1,000 taels of silver for this bag of courtesans?"
As soon as the Ye family heard that they were going to suffer, no matter how much they rented, they could also be regarded as young and vigorous, if this involved theft, it would be the most inferior, and the ancestors would never be able to tolerate it.
The son didn't know what kind of illness he was committing today, and he couldn't care about it at the moment when he thought of this, so he rushed out and said, "Uncle, it's me, I gave it to him,"
She hurriedly went over and pulled Chu Bin, supporting her almost soft body, and absorbing some strength, "This is what I pasted on him myself, the child is not in good health, I will always give more when I go out." Uncle, uncle......" began to choke up and couldn't speak again.
Chu Yun looked at his mother's nervous and heartbroken appearance, and his heart was also uncomfortable, but he still just knelt silently and didn't say a word.
Outsiders don't know what he's thinking, but instead of reflecting on it, it seems more detached and unrepentant, and it's simply stubborn.
The elder was so angry that he knocked on the slate in his eyes, and gasped a few times, he didn't expect that this child was so well-behaved when he was young, and when he grew up, he would become a complete fool.
It's really been a child, and it's not necessarily good, so when I thought of this, I glanced at Zhang fiercely, and scolded angrily: "What a loving mother and how defeated!"
After speaking, he knocked on the floor a few times with hatred, hating Chu Yun's unscrupulousness and hating Zhang's spoiling, and finally seeing Chu Bin standing on that board, he was even more angry.
One is angry that there is only one Ye family in this room, and only this one son, and the second is angry at his connivance with his son, and this thought is even more blowing his beard and glaring, "I can't raise my godfather's fault!
Seeing him so angry, even the patriarch stopped talking to him, let alone Chu Bin and his wife. Chu Bin just stood upright with the untenable Ye Clan, while the Ye Clan could not help himself to sob.
"Why is my life so miserable, I'm just such a son, just such a sweethearted baby, don't take him away from me. ”
When the elder relieved himself, he became more and more displeased with Chu Yun, "You say, tell me, have you lost all the land rent collected in the past two seasons?! This is 2,000 taels!
"Yes. Chu Yun quietly raised his head and looked around at everyone, his gaze stayed on his parents for a while, and then lowered his head.
"Poof" There was a sudden sneer in the silence, which was particularly obvious. When the elders heard this, they were even more annoyed, they were all ignorant juniors. "Who's—who's laughing? ”
Everyone was silent, who dared to come out at this time, didn't it obviously hit the muzzle of the gun?
The elder looked at these clansmen with their heads bowed one by one, and they didn't want to stand up, and suddenly became angry again, "Patriarch, look at what you are in charge of, what kind of system is this? What about the clan rules? What about the family rules?
When the patriarch heard this, he also secretly hated this clansman who didn't know the times, which really added to the chaos, "Who was laughing just now, stand up by yourself, if you receive the punishment yourself, you will be lenient, otherwise you will stay at home for a year and a half." ”
After waiting for a while, no one stood up and admitted it, and the patriarch was also angry at this time, "Okay, okay, you guys one by one, think it's funny, don't let me get caught." ”
It is also rare to see the patriarch so angry and angry, everyone is cowardly hiding there, and no one dares to say anything.
At this time, Chu Yun pulled the corners of his mouth, glanced at the smiling young man indifferently, but said, "I, I laughed." ”
At this moment, it was all fried, and everyone's eyes glanced at him.
