Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Big Black Cauldron

Fengfu study!

Feng Ye, the head of the Feng family, sat on a chair, looking at a book with relish, and there was a cup of steaming tea on the table in front of him. Mrs. Xie paced back and forth in the room, looking anxious, looking out of the window from time to time.

"Big brother, why do you still have the heart to read? Huai'er and Yufei don't know what's going on? If they can get the favor of their uncle, they may be able to get a half-official position, and it will not be in vain for my hard work! ”

Feng Ye put the book on the table. said with a wry smile: "Little sister, you are still as anxious as when you were a child, it is well said in this book: you are detached and kind; Nothing is clear, something is calm; Smug and indifferent, frustrated calmly.

We have already explained the things that should be explained, and the rest depends on them, Huai'er is still very measured in doing things, even if she can't make good friends with her uncle, she will definitely not offend him. ”

Mrs. Xie's heart settled down slightly, and suddenly frowned again, and said: "Brother, don't be angry about last night's incident, although Xie Ping looks peaceful and easy, he is actually extremely stubborn, once he makes up his mind, he will not change it easily, and Xie Wan and Huai'er's family affairs are probably no fun."

Why didn't you control Huai'er all these years, and let him mess around, he was still messing around in the Qinglou the night before he greeted his relatives, Xie Ping was furious when he found out about it later, I have never seen him so angry! ”

Feng Ye said with a gloomy face: "You also know that Huai'er will be divided after she gets married, and this family is not the old man's own words, even if the old man helps him again, he can only give him a shop and a house."

If he doesn't manage well, he may be poor in the future, and his eldest brother is a thin and cool character, and after two years the old man died, he didn't know who to count on!

It's not that the old man doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't bear to take care of it, let him toss for a few more years, and when the old man dies, he won't be out of sight and out of mind! ”

Mrs. Xie glared at him with disgust and said, "Why did the eldest brother say these frustrating words!" In short, the eldest brother still has to restrain Huai'er more, don't really cause any trouble, if Huai'er enters the eyes of the uncle this time, it can be regarded as having a future. If the uncle doesn't like him, I can only write to ask Yufei's uncle! ”

Feng Ye's eyes suddenly became eager, and he said hurriedly, "What's the matter with Xie Ping and his eldest brother?" It's all a family, is it possible to make any contradictions? ”

When Xie Ping first came to Fuping County, Feng Ye found out that Xie Ping's brother was Xie Qian, a current university scholar, so he did not hesitate to marry his little sister to Xie Ping, and even sent silver to Xie Mansion during the New Year's holidays.

Who knew that more than ten years had passed, but Xie Ping and Xie Qian had no contact at all, just like two strangers, Feng Ye suddenly had a feeling of beating a dog with meat buns, which made Feng Huai extremely aggrieved, and often hid alone in a small dark room to reflect on whether he had done something wrong.

Mrs. Xie sighed and said, "He seems to have quarreled with his eldest brother before he came to Fuping County to take office, and he has kept silent when I have mentioned this matter intentionally or unintentionally over the years.

Don't look at the Xie family, he follows me in many things, even if I deducted Xie Wan's case silver, he doesn't care, but there are some things he doesn't give in, in his eyes, I'm afraid I'm not as important as his long-dead concubine......"

Mrs. Xie was talking, the door was opened, Feng Huai walked in in dejected, Feng Ye's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Huai'er, how is it?" ”

Feng Huai pursed his lips and didn't say a word, Feng Ye suddenly became anxious, and said sharply: "You tell the matter as it is, and you are not allowed to say half a lie!" ”

Feng Huai had never seen his father so stern, and he lost his sense of proportion for a while, recounted what happened, and even repeated what Cao Wei and Xie Ping had said, not daring to add fuel and vinegar.

Mrs. Xie was both happy and worried after hearing this, and the happy thing was that this uncle seemed to have something to do with his father-in-law Xie Ping, and he also intended to find an official position for his son Xie Yufei. The worry is that Feng Huai bumped into the uncle with his disrespectful words, presumably now the uncle has a very bad sense of his nephew, and maybe his son will be involved.

Feng Ye was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha was born, his lips trembled, and he pointed at Feng Huai and reprimanded: "I warned you when I left home, this time I went to the county government office is different from the past, you must pay attention to proportion, and restrain your temperament, why did you swagger when you just arrived at the gate of the county government?" ”

Feng Huai also felt very aggrieved, obviously Xie Yufei took the initiative to provoke him, he was just an accomplice, and now a big black cauldron was directly buckled on his head, and he couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart.

Which high-ranking official and dignitary didn't go out and hug him? It's just that this uncle only brought a reckless man with him when he went out, but this reckless man was still a fierce mess......

Feng Ye couldn't bear to say more when he saw his son's dejected appearance, sighed, and said: "Since the matter has happened, we have to find ways to remedy it, and now we can only do what they like and turn the war into a jade silk!" ”

Mrs. Xie said worriedly: "Eldest brother, we know very little about this uncle, how can we do what he likes?" Don't run into him again! ”

Feng Ye gritted his teeth and said, "There is no one who doesn't love silver, I will privately take out five thousand taels of silver and let the housekeeper send it over as an atonement." Set up a banquet to entertain him at Qingshi Residence tonight, and when Huai'er toasts and makes amends, presumably he will no longer blame the Feng family. ”

Feng Huai raised his head and said cautiously: "Won't five thousand taels be a bit much......

"Huai'er! You remember, gifts should be given all at once, and it is best for people to see sincerity, don't be indecisive. ”

Feng Huai lowered her head again, Mrs. Xie wanted to speak and stopped, she always felt that things were not so simple, and thought of her son at home, got up and said, "I'll go back to the county government to inquire about the news, so I won't stay long!" ”

Feng Ye nodded and said, "That's fine, since the uncle is called Uncle Xie Ping, he must have some relationship with Xie Ping, if he can invite Xie Ping to accompany him tonight, presumably this uncle will give some affection." Little sister, I'll leave it to you. ”

Mrs. Xie nodded slightly, turned around and left, making up her mind not to mention a word after she went back, and she must not let her son be involved again.

After Mrs. Xie left, Feng Huai raised his head and frowned: "Dad, it's inconvenient for me to say more when my aunt is here, today's incident was provoked by Xie Yufei on his own initiative......"

Feng Ye's expression froze and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Feng Huai said indignantly: "Today we just arrived at the gate of the county ya, Xie Yufei recognized that the two people at the gate of the county yamen were the ones who beat him outside Fuping County.

I saw that the two of them were dressed simply, thinking that they were just ordinary businessmen, Xie Yufei was afraid that they would run away, and hurriedly urged me to do it, so I let my subordinates surround me, wanting to teach them some lessons, who knew that one of them turned out to be an uncle!

Later, the uncle didn't do anything to Xie Yufei, but he poured his anger on my head and beat me, as if I was the main culprit, I felt that I had carried the black pot for Xie Yufei! ”

Feng Ye glanced at him and said, "At the beginning, I asked you to have more contact with Xie Yufei, and let him stand in front when you encounter something, so that even if you get into trouble one day, you can let Xie Yufei carry the black cauldron, who knows that you are so disrespectful today that you carried the black cauldron for him, it is extremely stupid, who can blame it!" ”

"Is that the end of the matter?"

"What's the matter, the top priority is to turn enemies into friends with the uncle, and as for other things, I'll find the field another day."

Feng Huai was silent for a moment and said, "Dad, this uncle suddenly arrived in our Fuping County, who knows if it's fake?" If it's fake, wouldn't our family's five thousand taels of silver be given away in vain! ”

"Qiao Dingsu is as careful as a hair, since he is eighty or ninety percent sure, then the identity of this uncle is beyond doubt."

"What if this uncle receives the money but still refuses to give up?"

Feng Ye smiled faintly and said: "Huai'er, you are still too young, people in high positions will want some face, since you have received the money, you will not be unparticular about doing things, otherwise you will be too shameless, such a person will not be able to mix with officialdom......"
