Regarding Lu Qiangwen's statement, Zhao Chenghai had already expected it. He asked Wang Xiang and Liu Zhigao to pass the word, but it was just a salute before the soldiers.

How to deal with Lu Qiangwen and how to get back this face, Zhao Chenghai is confident.

Sent Wang Xiang and Liu Zhigao away, Zhao Chenghai was fine, talking and laughing with the carpenter.

Zhenhua is also very calm, what to do, and plans to explain to Zhang Kexiang in a few days.

Whether he can save his relationship with Zhang Kexiang, Zhenhua doesn't care very much, what he cares about is to explain things clearly and express his apologies to Zhang Kexiang. Because in the whole incident, Zhang Kexiang was the most innocent and under the most pressure. Needless to say, she has to face the scolding of her parents and the gossip of the villagers.

Another night passed, the wind and snow gradually stopped, and the sky turned cloudy.

But this spring cold is fierce, and it has already spread a foot of snow on the ground.

Wang Xiang accepted Cuihong's commission, took two bottles of wine and two boxes of malt milk essence secretly sent by Cuihong, and prepared to go to Zhangguigang to be a messenger. If there is no market today, he doesn't have to catch the market.

Xiuzhen reminded Wang Xiang and said: "When you get to the little tailor's house, you can talk before you think about it, what to say and what not to say, you have to know in your heart, don't talk nonsense and be kicked out, it will be a shame!"

"What kind of? Monk Zhang dares to beat me?" Wang Xiang glared at his wife and said with a smile:

"There are thousands of differences, but the people are not bad, and the two countries fight each other, and they don't cut them off. I went all the way to mediate this matter, and he didn't drink and cook food, but left me to eat at his house, pulled me to sit at the big table in his house, and stood up to toast me?"

Xiuzhen rolled her eyes: "Yes, I'm afraid that people will be too polite and tear the sleeves of your gown!"

"You women know a fart, wait and see, I will ring Uncle Xiang out of the horse, keep the little tailor and Zhenhua to reconcile, and reunite after breaking the mirror!" Wang Xiang was triumphant, humming a Lu opera tune in his mouth, carrying a gift out of the door, stepping on the snow, and heading towards Zhangjiaogang.

When Wang Xiang came out of the front door, Zhao Chenghai also secretly went out, got on the road from his backyard, and walked towards a group of Lu Qiangwen's houses.

Zhao Chenghai was wearing a neat set of clothes, his hair was combed obediently, and it could be described as spotless.

He carried a three-foot red cloth and two cigarettes in his arms, as well as a small firecracker, and looked bulging.

When he arrived at Lu Qiangwen's house, Zhao Chenghai lit a cigarette, took out the firecracker from his arms, lit it, and threw it on the snow in front of Lu's house.

The sound of crackling firecrackers broke the silence of the village.

A group of villagers stood in front of their homes and watched, and some people came over to find out.

Lu Qiangwen and Tong Jiafen were also surprised, walked out of the house, and looked at Zhao Chenghai in a daze.

Zhao Chenghai threw away the cigarette he had just lit, straightened his clothes, stood three feet away, and bowed to Lu Qiangwen and his wife, bowing deeply.

After bowing, Zhao Chenghai looked at the villagers around him, then turned his face to look at the Lu family and his wife, and said aloud in a straight voice:

"Brother Lu, Sister Tong, I, Zhao Chenghai, have not taught my adopted son, and I have offended the house, so I came here today to make amends, hang red firecrackers, and apologize to you. I just ask you to have a lot of adults in the Lu Mansion and spare me Zhao Chenghai this time. My son stopped the car last time and asked for your two cigarettes, and I will bring them back to you today. If you still can't get angry, I'll kowtow to you here, if you want to beat or scold, you'll come at me Zhao Chenghai, I will definitely not fight back, and I won't scold back. I have no way to teach my son, this is my retribution. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chenghai respectfully put two cigarettes on the stone pier next to the door of the Lu family, and took out three feet of red cloth and hung them on the door knocker of the Lu family.

Hanging red and setting off cannons is the highest specification and highest level of apology for countrymen, and there is no one. If it weren't for the hatred of killing one's father and taking one's wife, ordinary hatred would have disappeared in this way.

Seeing Zhao Chenghai so solemn and humble, Lu Qiangwen was embarrassed, and stepped forward to take Zhao Chenghai's hand: "Brother Chenghai, just say this, you can take the cigarettes back." Huazi is young, we don't blame him. ”

The villagers also stepped forward, giggling and muddy.

Zhao Chenghai withdrew his hand, looked at Lu Qiangwen, and said word by word:

"It's time for me to apologize, and I did. But in the New Year, Sister Tong went to my house to roll and cry, and went to Zhangguigang to shout grievances, ruining my son's reputation and breaking up my son's marriage. ”

Lu Qiangwen frowned and was silent, only then did he know that Zhao Chenghai was not good.

Zhao Chenghai bowed to the villagers and said:

"I, Zhao Chenghai, am useless, but I am also a man in a hat, Xu Ren's buckwheat is noodles, and spitting is nails. I put my words here today, who has ruined my son's reputation, who will redeem me. Whoever breaks up my son's marriage will restore it to me. If I can't do it, three days later, I will be the same as Lu Qiangwen! I'm also old, can I keep my life as the emperor?"

Lu Qiangwen sweated on his head and opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Tong Jiafen stepped forward and shouted, "It was your son who went to the county seat and beat my son-in-law!"

Zhao Chenghai sneered and said: "Who did it first, who found fault first, this can be figured out." My son is not dead, and your son-in-law is not dead, so let's make an appointment and let them talk about this matter in front of each other. If my son finds fault first and does it first, I will strangle my son to death on the threshold of my house. If it's your son-in-law who makes the first move, what do you say?"

Tong Jiafen was too frightened to speak.

Lu Qiangwen looked left and right, and yelled at his wife: "Follow me to the county seat and call Gao Qingchun to ask who found fault first." Gao Qingchun, this brute, if he tells a lie, I can't spare him!"

Zhao Chenghai sneered and was silent, his eyes were like knives.

Lu Qiangwen bowed to Zhao Chenghai and said, "Chenghai, you go back first, I'll go to the county seat and call my son-in-law over." If my son-in-law finds fault first, I will also hang red firecrackers for you and kowtow to you to apologize!"

Zhao Chenghai shook his head and said coldly: "My son's reputation was rumored to be sent to Zhangguigang, and the marriage was also disrupted. Can you just hang me up and set off firecrackers?"

Lu Qiangwen gritted his teeth: "If it's my son-in-law's fault, I will not only hang red firecrackers for you, but also go to Zhangguigang to kowtow and redeem your son's reputation!"

"Okay, it's a deal, I'm waiting for your son-in-law to come and confront him face to face!" Zhao Chenghai snorted, put his hands behind his back, and walked back slowly.

The villagers sighed and shook their heads, and came to comfort Lu Qiangwen and his wife.

Lu Qiangwen was furious, waved his hand and said to his wife Tong Jiafen: "Go, go to the county seat with me, and ask Gao Qingchun for clarification!"

Tong Jiafen was a little timid, and said in a low voice: "Forget it...... What else do you ask?"

"Forget it, I want to forget it, but Zhao Chenghai can let us go!? I see that Zhao Chenghai is aggressive, and he must have asked his son. Ten dozen or eight, it's all Gao Qingchun, a brute, who is lying. Lu Qiangwen gritted his teeth.

Tong Jiafen was afraid of her husband, so she had to nod, change her clothes, and accompany her husband to the county seat.

Zhenhua was still working at home, and vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers coming from a group, but he didn't care, and he didn't expect it to be a cannon set off by his father.

It wasn't until Zhao Chenghai came back that the third master chased after him and talked about it, and Zhenhua knew that his father had gone to the Lu family to write a war letter.

Zhao Chenghai was very calm and said to Zhenhua: "Lu Qiangwen went to the county seat to call his son-in-law to confront him, and the matter will be clarified soon." If you kid lie and deceive Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will break your legs!"

Zhenhua was even more calm, thought for a while and said, "His son-in-law must not dare to come." ”
