Chapter 276: Big Trouble
Zhong Siye naturally couldn't do anything to his own mother, but he would still say what he should say.
On stage, babbling and singing happily, offstage, Mrs. Zhong was drinking tea, but she had completely lost the interest in listening to the drama in the past, and she was a little absent-minded, she was thinking about what her youngest son was going to say to her.
An Ruolan's business? Or is it a matter of the night?
The mind is a mess, and my favorite dramas have become annoying.
On the other hand, Zhong Siye was calm and relaxed, knocking on the armrest with his fingertips, as if he could listen attentively.
Looking at his appearance, Mrs. Zhong became angry, originally avoiding her who didn't want to talk to Fourth Master Zhong, but instead took the initiative to mention last night's incident.
"Si'er, my mother was too anxious and worried last night, so I missed it for a while and misunderstood Sister Lan, is this my mother's mother's, it's over, don't take it to heart, my mother knows that you value Sister Lan, and my mother will love her as a granddaughter in the future."
This is the rhetoric she discussed with her second daughter-in-law last night, first accept it, expose this matter and then talk about it, and then make another plan.
This is also to block the younger son's possible exit.
In any case, it's better than falling out with your youngest son.
Mrs. Zhong felt that she had given enough face, and her youngest son had to save some face for her.
Zhong Siye also gave her a lot of face, and said with a smile: "Mother is serious, but Lan'er is not sensible, so my mother is worried, I will teach her well in the future." ”
His attitude was too gentle, and Mrs. Zhong instantly relaxed her vigilance, and said in a loud voice: "It's okay if you don't mind, my mother is afraid that because of such a trivial matter, she will hurt the harmony of our mother and son, and it is too worthless." ”
"Mother is right, you can't hurt the harmony." Zhong Siye bent his lips and smiled.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Old Mrs. Zhong smiled from ear to ear, but how did Mrs. Zhong on the side hear this and feel uneasy.
Second Mrs. Zhong's premonition was not wrong, when the sun went down and Master Zhong and Xiang Ye appeared in the dining room of the Zhong family together, Old Mrs. Zhong couldn't laugh.
"What are you doing here?" Old Madam Zhong saw that Xiang Ye was not pleasing to the eye, and never gave a good face.
Xiang Ye is an arrogant person, if ordinary people treat him like this, he doesn't know how to repair and rectify it, and Mrs. Zhong is the mother of Fourth Master Zhong, so he has repeatedly put up with it.
"I've seen my aunt." With a fist and a salute, Xiang Ye ignored Old Madam Zhong's hostility.
Old Madam Zhong snorted coldly, "I can't afford your courtesy." As he spoke, he was going to pull Zhong Siye to his side.
However, her hand fell into the air, Zhong Siye avoided her hand without a trace, walked to Xiang Ye's side, took care of his clothes very naturally, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I thought you couldn't spare time." ”
Xiang Ye's face softened, and he held his hand and said, "I entered the palace once, but I was a little late." ”
Old Madam Zhong retracted her empty hand in disbelief, looked at the two people who were unfamiliar and behaved like no one around, and trembled with anger.
"What are you guys doing?! Let go! With a loud shout, Old Madam Zhong was about to go up and separate the two.
"Okay, now that we're all here, let's start eating." Master Zhong stopped his imposing wife and signaled her with his eyes not to mess around.
"Sir!" Mrs. Zhong was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but Master Zhong didn't pay attention to her at all and ordered her subordinates to serve the food.
Mrs. Zhong raised her hand to cover her lips and pursed her lips in disgust.
Everyone sat down in turn, and Xiang Ye sat next to Zhong Siye, such an arrangement made Mrs. Zhong raise her eyebrows again.
Looking at the exquisite dishes that were served one after another, Mrs. Zhong realized that she was the only one who didn't know that Xiang Ye would come, and she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Master Zhong ignored his wife's black face, and while the dishes were not yet ready, he glanced at everyone present, and said solemnly: "While everyone is here, I have something to discuss with you, today I have handed the emperor an excerpt of resignation, and I beg His Majesty to allow me to return to my hometown, the emperor has already responded, just wait for the next month to hand over the duties in hand, I can leave for Liuzhou, do you have anyone willing to go back with me?" ”
Mr. Zhong's ancestral home is in Kaiyuan County, Liuzhou.
"Excuse me?!" Everyone was taken aback, and the strongest reaction among them was Second Master Zhong and Second Mrs. Zhong.
"Dad, why did you resign?! If you don't do Zaifu anymore, how can I still do business?! Zhong Erye complained urgently, his current business is mostly obtained by relying on his father's face, if his father resigns, he will have a fart business in the future!
Mrs. Zhong also said: "Yes, Dad, your body is still so strong, how can you put aside your good career and go back to the countryside to retire!" ”
If her husband's hometown is as prosperous as Shengjing, she has nothing to say, but in a poor and remote mountain village, she is used to living a splendid and prosperous life in Shengjing, where is she willing to go to the countryside to live the rest of her life!
Old Madam Zhong knew the thoughts of her second son and second daughter-in-law, and she recovered from the initial shock, and she also persuaded: "Master, why do you want to resign?" If you are too tired during this time and you want to rest, I will accompany you back to your hometown to recuperate for a while, and you don't need to resign from the government. ”
Mrs. Zhong is not all for her son and daughter-in-law, she herself is reluctant to leave Shengjing, and she is reluctant to give up the identity of Mrs. Zaifu and the scenery she gets because of it.
How could Master Zhong not know the thoughts of his wife and second son, his heart was sour and helpless for a while, and his words couldn't help but be ugly, "I'm now forty-four in my sixties, and I've worked hard for a lifetime, and if I don't live for a long time, I have to wait until I'm dying in the court before I can ask the saint to return to my hometown?!" ”
The table was slammed, and it was obvious that Master Zhong was extremely angry.
Old Madam Zhong was frightened by this, and immediately burst into tears, crying: "I won't say anything, don't say anything, don't say those unlucky words, you want to go back to your hometown to live for the rest of your life, I will accompany you back, don't say this again." ”
What could be more important than a husband's life?
Old Mrs. Zhong regressed, but Second Master Zhong and Second Mrs. Zhong refused, Second Master Zhong said confidently: "Dad, what you said is wrong, we didn't force you to be an official, and besides, don't you enjoy it yourself?" Now you can say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, but before that, you have to find a way out for me, you helped the eldest brother and the third and fourth children pave the way, how can you leave me alone! ”
"Yes, Dad, they are all biological, this heart can't be too biased." Mrs. Zhong also took it for granted.
Old Madam Zhong didn't say anything, it can be seen that she thinks the same thing as Second Master Zhong in her heart.
Hearing this, Master Zhong couldn't help but feel cold, and said: "Your eldest brother and third brother are both famous for their own studies, and your fourth brother didn't take a grain of rice from the Zhong family in business, so you come to tell me about partiality now?" Back then, I donated money for you, but you didn't do it for a few days, and I used the silver to do business for you, and you couldn't make ends meet, is this also my partiality? ”
Zhong Erye was said to be weak-hearted, swallowed his saliva and said: "You can't blame me, who told my father that the official you donated is too small, and the capital to do business is not enough?" ”
The more he talked, the more confident he became, and shouted: "In the end, Dad, you are still eccentric, if you didn't help the eldest brother and the third brother dredge up the relationship, they would be able to gain fame and rise step by step?" If you hadn't made connections for Lao Sizhen, his business would have been so good? You didn't do so much for me! ”
Hearing this, not only Master Zhong, but even the three brothers of Uncle Zhong became angry.
Leaning on the back of the chair with his hands on his chest, Zhong Siye sneered: "Ouch, look at what I have heard, eldest brother, third brother, it turns out that our achievements today are all obtained by my father using power for personal gain." ”
"Don't be weird, don't you dare to say it?" Zhong Erye subconsciously took a step back, and was twisted by Mrs. Zhong Er's waist before he straightened his waist again.
"I'll say no." Zhong Siye's eyes lit up, he dropped the wine glass in his hand with a "snap", got up and looked at Zhong Erye coldly, and said, "If you weren't my own brother, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow a long time ago." ”
Second Master Zhong was shocked by his Ling Ran's momentum, and then realized that this was in front of many juniors, and suddenly lost face, and shouted: "You dare to talk to me like this, I am your second brother?!" ”
Old Madam Zhong was taken aback, seeing that their brothers were so tense, she hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade her: "If you have something to say, you are brothers!" ”
"Mother, look at what he said, where did he treat me as a second brother!" Second Master Zhong hurriedly complained to Mrs. Zhong.
The palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, and Mrs. Zhong was in a dilemma, but she thought that Zhong Siye was wrong, so she said: "Fourth, how can you say such a thing to your second brother, hurry up and accompany your second brother!" ”
How could Zhong Siye be such a person who would bow his head so lightly, but when he heard this, he raised his chin and said arrogantly: "He is not worthy of being my brother." ”
This sentence undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Second Master Zhong immediately shouted and said, "I must teach you a good lesson today!" ”
After that, he really raised his fist and smashed it at Zhong Siye.
It's just that before he touched a hair of Zhong Siye, he was dragged by the collar and thrown out and smashed on the table of the younger members of the Zhong family.
"Ahh
Second Master Zhong slid from the table to the ground with a wail.
Second Mrs. Zhong's legs and stomach trembled, she secretly looked in front of Zhong Siye, and threw Zhong Erye out, like a godly Xiang Ye, and fainted on the ground with a whine.
"Mother!" Zhong Yueshan screamed, and hurriedly pounced, pinching and patting her back, and finally woke up Mrs. Zhong Er.
But looking at the mess and her husband rolling on the ground, Mrs. Zhong would rather faint like this.
Old Madam Zhong trembled her hands, and she was almost fainted by the chaotic scene in front of her.
"Master, don't you care? Let outsiders be so arrogant in Zhongfu?! Mrs. Zhong beat her chest and looked at Mr. Zhong who was as motionless as a mountain at the table and his face was as heavy as water.
"And you, the boss, the third, you don't say a word?!" Old Madam Zhong pointed to Uncle Zhong and Third Master Zhong again. R1152
