Chapter 245: You Misunderstood Me
The old man had gray hair, but he was meticulously combed. Looking at it from afar, I saw an awe-inspiring atmosphere, which made people daunting. When you get closer, but like a spring breeze, the old man's kind smile can dispel all the fears in your heart.
"This old man, his temperament has recuperated to a certain level. Wang Yong said secretly.
In the Analects, it is recorded that Confucius "looks at him as if he is warm, and listens to his words as if he were strong", which means that Confucius saw him from a distance at first and felt very solemn, but after approaching him, he felt very gentle, and after listening to him, he felt that he was righteous and strict, and he was not meticulous.
This is the definition of a gentleman.
Ziyu Zhongting actually reached that realm. At least there is no difference in appearance.
After taking a few quick steps, Wang Yong had a smile on his face and shouted at the old man: "Grandpa Ziyu, I'm Wang Yong, I see you're here." ”
Ziyu Zhongting also smiled happily, he held Wang Yong's hand, and looked at Wang Yong carefully from beginning to end with a pair of eyes, as if he was looking at an old man.
After a while, he muttered: "Like, really like! I haven't seen you for a few years, your kid has faded and looks more like your grandfather!"
Wang Yong smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything. Holding Ziyu Zhongting and walking to the living room.
And Ziyu Fengqing followed beside him, quietly looking at Wang Yong.
Wang Yong occasionally glanced at her, but she pretended not to know Wang Yong at all, and her expression was extremely realistic.
Wang Yong pursed his lips and said that women are fickle, and sure enough, he has forgotten people so cleanly after not seeing them for a long time.
Entering the living room, a cadre of Ziyu's family who were originally following Ziyu Zhongting also walked in.
Ziyu Zhongting sat on the sofa, and Wang Yong sat on the sofa opposite. Ziyu Fengqing was named by her grandfather to sit opposite Wang Yong.
The other Ziyu family members were not so happy, so they could only sit on the periphery, looking at the three people in the middle like stars.
Even Ziyu Fengqing's parents were not qualified to sit in, but sat slightly closer to the inner circle, frowning and looking at Wang Yong.
Of course, they knew about Wang Yong's existence, and they were on the spot when the old man made this marriage contract, although they did not immediately object, but they protested after returning home.
Helplessly, Ziyu's family has always been Ziyu Zhongting's final say, Ziyu Fengqing's parents are not important figures in the family, and the protest was directly ignored.
As for other uncles and uncles, although they have the qualifications to speak, they are not their own daughters, why do they want to come out? They are more willing to give away a small share of the family property.
Who would have expected that Ziyu Fengqing would grow up later, and he would quickly become an important figure in the Ziyu family, and he could even be said to be the old man's trader. This made those uncles panic.
Girls are outgoing, what if Zi Yu Fengqing gives all the family assets to that kid named Wang Yong in the future? So from that time on, they have been persuading Zi Yu Fengqing bitterly, suggesting that she should not accept this kind of arranged marriage, and that women in the new era must be independent.
Of course, they didn't say a subtext, in fact, they hoped that Ziyu Fengqing would not marry when she was old and would work for the family for the rest of her life.
Now Wang Yong's arrival undoubtedly makes them the most nervous.
Before Ziyu Zhongting could ask Wang Yong why he came, several of Ziyu Fengqing's uncles spoke first.
"Boy from the Wang family, I heard that you were a soldier in the army, why did you come back? It can't be that you made a mistake and were driven back by the army, right?"
Wang Yong had a sneer in his heart.
This person asked knowingly, obviously he already knew the true situation of Wang Yong, so saying this is nothing more than a blow to Wang Yong's image and suppressing Wang Yong's impression score, so that the old man has no good impression of Wang Yong.
It seems that this Ziyu family is not monolithic, but has its own thoughts. Ziyu Fengqing, as a woman who can't inherit a family in traditional thinking, should not feel comfortable being caught in the middle.
With a flash of his eyes, Wang Yong's true emotions were not revealed, but said politely: "This is an uncle, right? I have indeed been discharged from the army for a while, because I feel the call of a higher ideal, and I want to inherit my grandfather's legacy and be a teacher who educates the world." ”
"Huh. ”
Wang Yong's words made a room full of people laugh. Mostly ridicule.
Since he is a teacher, how can he be at Ziyu's house? It is clear that he is here to climb the high branches. It's really a watch and a memorial arch!
Only Ziyu Zhongting laughed sincerely, and he gave Wang Yong a thumbs up: "Okay! A man must have such ambition! Educate the world, your grandfather was too conservative and refused to go out of the mountain to teach." Otherwise, he now has not 10,000 disciples, but 8,000. ”
Wang Yong hurriedly defended his grandfather: "This can't be blamed on grandpa, grandpa was depressed for half his life because of the death of his father and mother, and under this blow, he was an old man to teach and educate people, which was really embarrassing for him." It was precisely because I knew my grandfather's regret that I chose to retire from the army to take charge of the whip. Now I have been serving in Tiantai No. 1 Middle School for a while, and I was recommended by the old principal. ”
"Oh, old principal, that's a figure in the education world! Even he takes a fancy to you, it seems that I made the right choice at the beginning, you are worthy of Fengqing!" Ziyu Zhongting became more and more happy.
This remark has aroused a lot of criticism.
The old man glared at him on the spot, and the criticism immediately dispersed, and no one dared to say a word again.
Ziyu Fengqing and the other uncles looked at Ziyu Fengqing's parents, and they are the ones who are most qualified to speak in this situation.
No matter how domineering the old man is, he can't erase Ziyu Fengqing's parents' right to care for their children.
Ziyu Fengqing's parents actually don't look down on Wang Yong, they all agree that Ziyu Fengqing should at least find a boy who is the right person. Just like Xu Zi'an.
Xu Zi'an is the first aunt candidate in their hearts.
Ziyu Fengqing's father drank saliva and spoke: "Dad, let me ask Wang Yong a few words." ”
Ziyu Zhongting knew his son's thoughts, and immediately reprimanded him unceremoniously: "What do you have to ask? Can you see more accurately than me?"
Ziyu Fengqing's father immediately froze, and he was about to retreat. He was afraid of Ziyu Zhongting since he was a child, where did he dare to disobey the majesty of the old man?
Seeing that her husband was not strong, Ziyu Fengqing's mother scolded "no interest" and stood up.
"Dad, we are Fengqing's parents, and now we are discussing Fengqing's lifelong events. We respect you and will not oppose any decision you make. But at least give us a say in this matter, right? Speaking of the daughter Mo Ruomu, I still know a little bit about Fengqing's mind. ”
Ziyu Fengqing's mother's words were reasonable, and even Ziyu Zhongting couldn't say anything against it.
I could only wave my hand and let her speak.
"Wang boy, I only want to ask you one word, you just have to answer yes or no. Ziyu Fengqing's mother immediately asked Wang Yong in a stern tone.
Wang Yong nodded.
"As far as I know, you retired from the army because you made a mistake and were fired. Is it true?"
Wang Yong smiled helplessly, it was time to come. So he said, "Yes." But it's not what you think, it's very complicated, and it involves some military secrets, I can't explain it too clearly......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ziyu Fengqing's mother: "Can't explain clearly, I think you can't explain it at all!"
After a pause, she asked again: "Okay, let's leave this topic aside for the time being." Let me ask you again, are you living with a girl right now?"
"I did live with a girl, but not together, but in a shared house, we didn't live in the same bedroom. Wang Yong frowned and replied.
"Hehe, lonely men and widows live in the same room, and my aunt is also from your age, and I know the cats best. If you're going to say that you two are innocent, I really don't believe it. ”
Wang Yong's brows furrowed even more. That's right, he and An Ran are not innocent, but what is the business of others?
"I lie and can't control my lower body, is such a man worth entrusting for life? If you want to take away my family Fengqing, I am the first to disagree!" Ziyu Fengqing's mother said righteously.
As soon as the voice fell, it immediately attracted a chorus.
"Yes! Feng Qing resolutely can't marry this kind of person! It's just scum!"
"I'm ashamed to let this kind of person be the son-in-law of our Ziyu family!"
"Dad, even if you don't think about Fengqing, you have to think about the Ziyu family, right? Once such a person enters the house, what will outsiders think of us? Is it worth it for our family's thousand-year-old reputation to be ruined by this kind of person?"
……
Everyone, you say a word, and you besiege Wang Yong.
Wang Yong is like a child who has done something wrong, he can't say a word when he is accused, he can only bow his head in shame to hide his panic.
Seeing this scene, Uncle Ziyu Fengqing suddenly felt happy in his heart. The plan worked, as long as the pressure continued, this kid who had never seen the world would definitely not be able to bear it and retreat first!
So their tone was heavier, almost every word with a knife, straight to Wang Yong's heart, and Wang Yongji's body was bruised.
Ziyu Zhongtingyun drank tea lightly, as if he hadn't heard those words at all.
waited until the words stopped, then looked at Wang Yong leisurely and said, "Wang Yong, aren't you ready to defend a word?"
Wang Yong raised his head when he heard this, his face was full of shame, and he seemed to feel very ashamed.
"Come on!" Ziyu Fengqing and his uncles quietly gestured. Wang Yong let them see the dawn of victory in this way.
It's just that Wang Yong's words made them stunned.
I saw a look of unfearlessness flashing in Wang Yong's eyes, and he bravely said to the old man: "Grandpa Ziyu, uncles and aunts, in fact, you misunderstood me. I'm not here today to propose marriage, but to withdraw from marriage. ”
Divorce?!
As soon as these words came out, the whole room became stunned, and the lively scene disappeared in an instant, replaced by a deathly silence.
Only two people were indifferent.
One is Ziyu Fengqing, and the other is Ziyu Zhongting.
Ziyu Fengqing is because he has known it for a long time, and Ziyu Zhongting is temperament, he has experienced too many changes, but he has long developed the habit of Taishan collapsing in front of him without changing his face.
Although he was also extremely shocked in his heart.
