Chapter 512: Procrastination
Chapter 512: Procrastination
Although Jia seemed to stand as straight as a stone sculpture and did not speak, the voices in his ears that interceded for Shi Bin and cried for the soldiers still made him feel irritable. Obviously, if she doesn't make a statement today, Jia Ling will not let herself leave.
But Jia Rudao said that this old fox is not so easy to be tethered. frowned, and immediately said that Jiang Wanli was still waiting in the living room, and he had to go and say hello to Jiang Wanli before saying anything else, otherwise it would be rude to throw him there again.
He was about to leave but was dragged by Jia Ling, Jia seemed to be unable to break free after several efforts, so he had to stop helplessly and ask Jia Ling what he was going to do.
"Father, since you think it's rude to leave Uncle Jiang alone in the living room, and we have something to discuss with you and Uncle Jiang, why don't we go to the living room together?" Jia Ling said, "Of course Shi Bin scolded me at first, but his words were also correct in principle, and my daughter felt that she was indeed a little selfish." ”
"He scolded you for being such a virtuous wife, and he was justified? You still feel selfish? It's ridiculous! Jia Rudao roared angrily.
"It makes sense! If he and Brother Lu's army are defeated, you will definitely be the first to suffer. You are the father-in-law of the husband, and you know best how many yuan people the husband has killed, and if something happens to him, the yuan people will definitely not let you go. And the court will inevitably kill him, as his father-in-law, even if the emperor doesn't kill you, those villains who fall into the well will try their best to destroy you and exile my Jia family for thousands of miles. So father, it's impossible for you to stay out of it. Jia Ling said solemnly.
How could you not think of these after decades of being an official? It's just that Jia Yidao felt that it was far from the time to say this, so he pretended to be stupid and acted with Jiang Wanli. However, his daughter had already said it, and Jia Rudao had no choice but to agree to take her and Shi Bin into the living room again to discuss support.
Hearing the continuous and obviously multiple footsteps coming from the door, Jiang Wanli understood that Jia Rudao had failed. I'm afraid that instead of taking care of things, I'm going to trap myself in it.
As soon as everyone entered the living room, Jiang Wanli said with a smile: "Niece, why are you and your niece and son-in-law here again?" There was a skirmish just now, are you okay? ”
At this time, Jia Ling was not as well-behaved as before, but as an eldest lady, she still knew some etiquette, and squeezed out a smile from her face that was more ugly than crying and gave it to Jiang Wanli. The performance of Shi Bin and Lu Wende is normal, as for Sai Xishi and Xu Feng, they are smiling at Jiang Wanli.
Since Jia Ling didn't want to speak, it was naturally Shi Bin's husband who spoke, "Uncle Jiang is right, we had a little dispute outside, which disturbed the discussion between my father-in-law and Uncle Jiang, it was rude for us, and Shi Bin apologizes here." ”
I thought that Jiang Wanli would ask him why he and Jia Ling had an argument, but he didn't expect this old slippery head to expose it and not mention it, but just told him that the husband and wife were fighting at the end of the bed, and there was no need to be serious about a little dispute, and said that the husband should be generous and be able to tolerate his wife's temper. Such a situation was something that Shi Bin and the others had never expected, so they were very worried.
Just when Jiang Wanli was about to continue to be a peacemaker and quietly destroy the good show carefully planned by Shi Bin and the others, Jia Ling asked directly regardless of the rules of the cards: "Doesn't Uncle Jiang want to ask me why I quarreled with my husband?" ”
"Hehe, it's hard for a clean official to cut off family affairs. It's better for me not to mix these things. Jiang Wanli smiled and easily defused Jia Ling's punch with all his strength.
Since there was no way to force Jiang Wanli into the trap, Jia Ling had no choice but to shift the target to Jia Yidao, who couldn't find an excuse to shirk. He shouted to his father with a smile, and then asked Jia Yidao very 'politely' to tell Jiang Wanli the reason for this 'dispute'.
After listening to Jia Yidao's words, Jiang Wanli immediately said very 'sternly': "Niece Jia, how can you have such an idea, how can you ask your father to privately support food and supplies for your husband and Lu Wende?" Don't you know that this is a big mistake, and it is going to make your Jia family suffer a great disaster? ”
I didn't see any panic in Jia Ling, but I saw Jia Ling with a hippie smile and said that she didn't know, saying that she only knew that there were no eggs under the nest.
This time, Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli completely understood that they were tricked by Shi Bin and his gang, and let them enter the living room and have the opportunity to speak openly and openly to support again, but this time what they asked for was replaced by food and materials.
Jiang Wanli couldn't help but think that the best choice at that time should actually be to leave immediately. Jia Rudao himself ruthlessly pretended to be sick or pretended to be busy with official business, and no longer paid attention to Jia Ling and them. However, there is no regret in the world about taking medicine, and the only thing that makes Jia Yidao and the others happy is that they have never promised to give Shi Bin and Lu Wende food and material support from beginning to end, that is to say, they have not left the handle behind.
"There are indeed no eggs under the nest, but you can't do things without rules at all, you have to give an explanation to block the mouth." Jiang Wanli frowned and said with a sad face, "Uncle Jiang, your father and I both support you, but we haven't come up with a way to support you in terms of food and materials for the time being." ”
Didn't come up with a way to support food and materials for the time being? After hearing this, Shi Bin and the others were a little excited, and it seemed that the two of them still agreed to support this aspect. But soon a few people came to their senses again, as they remembered what they had been listening to in the corner. Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli didn't intend to only support public opinion, and they also agreed to this food and material support, but their attitude was to drag on for a while.
Thinking of this, Shi Bin naturally would no longer be fooled by Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli, but smiled and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Wanli for his selfless support. At the same time, he also said that support should be sooner rather than later, and that the forces of Shaanxi and Hedong are still too weak and need strong support.
Since it was to be delayed, it was natural that Shi Bin would not be allowed to get his wish so quickly, Jia Rudao and Jiang Wanli said together that they had to discuss a way first.
It doesn't feel good to be pressed too hard, after all, one is a father, and the other is a member of the party who supports him, and things will be reversed. So Shi Bin finally reluctantly agreed to let Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli discuss how to support them for some time, but he had to give an answer within three days.
And Jia Rudao and the others were also very irritable by Shi Bin, and they wished they would leave quickly, so they happily agreed to Shi Bin's conditions, promising to give a solution within three days.
Although I don't believe that Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli will keep their promises, but if they don't believe in the money and food in their hands, they have to believe it, if they don't keep their promises, Shi Bin and the others can only go to ask for it again, or call it 'Xingshi to ask for guilt'.
When she just returned to the wing room to rest, Jia Ling suddenly said, "Have we forgotten something?" ”
"Forgot what? Forgot something? Shi Bin was ignorant.
"We should be going to Xingshi to ask for sin, so as to ask for food and supplies, why did we come out like this?"
After Jia Ling said this, everyone suddenly woke up, indeed, they seemed to be distracted from the living room by Jiang Wanli's empty words, and they were tricked again. Shi Bin and the others immediately felt very embarrassed and regretted but helpless, but Jia Ling, the eldest lady, didn't care so much. has been played twice, and has touched her reverse scales. Ignoring anything else, he ran back to the meeting room to 'ask the teacher for sin'. And Shi Bin didn't stop him, but he was looking forward to Jia Ling's violent approach, Jia Nidao and Jiang Wanli finally compromised.
But hope is beautiful, reality is cruel. Because I didn't hear the quarrel between Jia Ling, Jia Yidao, and Jiang Wanli, I soon saw the eldest lady who came back with a depressed face.
"What's wrong, Xiaoling?" Although he had already guessed the answer, Shi Bin still asked.
"It's nothing, I've been tricked again," Jia Ling said frustratedly.
"What do you mean?" Sai Si Shi asked.
"Erzhuang said that as soon as we went out, my father and Uncle Jiang went out of the house through the back door, saying that they were going to inspect the granary. But they are going in the wrong direction, so it is impossible to find them in the granary."
"Old slippery head, you are so cunning!" Sai Xi Shi scolded regardless of Jia Ling's feelings. This time, Jia Ling didn't lose her temper, just sat with a resentful face.
Since he has already run away, it is useless to talk nonsense, but Shi Bin raised a question: whether the words of Jia Rudao and Jiang Wanli to give an answer within three days are credible. What if they can't be trusted, don't let them slip away anymore. The answer to the question is naturally not credible, as for how to make them stop slipping away, everyone turned their attention to Jia Ling, who was indignant. The meaning is very clear, let Jia Ling use the killer trick to ask the teacher.
"Xiaoling, husband, I have something I want to discuss with you." Shi Bin asked.
"What's the matter?" Jia Ling said weakly.
"We want you to ask your father and Jiang Wanli Xingshi for their guilt, and Brother Lu and I beat the side drums, as for Xi Shi and Xu Feng, they won't participate. It's just that if the answer they give meets our requirements, then forget about it. ”
There was already an evil fire in his heart, Shi Bin's words were exactly what Jia Ling meant, but at the same time, he didn't want him to quarrel with Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli, so he agreed without saying a word.
The time of three days came quickly, and it was not surprising that Shi Bin still didn't know the method that Jia Yidao and Jiang Wanli had discussed. What made Shi Bin and the others most angry was that Jia Rudao had not returned to the mansion since the afternoon of the next day, and had been working overtime as a labor activist in the Yamen, and Jiang Wanli had never come again.
was tricked, and was tricked by two old people. But fortunately, he was already mentally prepared, and Shi Bin was not so angry. So he used a killer trick and asked Jia Ling to go to the yamen to find Jia Rudao and make noise. made him unable to come to the stage, and finally had to agree to Shi Bin's conditions. As for Jiang Wanli, it is not suitable for noisy and only suitable for negotiation, so it can only be put aside for the time being.
However, it seems that Jia Yidao has the ability to predict the future, and Jia Ling has pounced several times in a row. Even though Shi Bin and Lu Wende looked at the side door and the back, they still didn't block Jia Yidao. In the end, he actually found out that Jia Rudao simply went to govern Xiazhou County to inspect and left Yangzhou
This result made Shi Bin and the others regret it, regretting that they should not have stupidly agreed to the three-day appointment between Jia Nidao and Jiang Wanli in the first place, and let them slip away. Although Jia Nidao will definitely come back if he stays outside for a long time, Shi Bin and Lu Wende will not stay for long, I am afraid that they will not be able to survive Jia Nidao.
Although he was furious, he had to admire Jiang is old and spicy, Shi Bin was played three times by Jia Nidao and Jiang Wanli, although Jia Nidao was forced to not go home, but they did not achieve their goal, so naturally they did not succeed. And Jia Rudao can win as long as he persists, but they can't hold on, and when the time comes, they can only withdraw from Yangzhou gloomily.
