"Gorou, you and Brother Qing should go! I'll continue tomorrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yue Fei's father, Yue He, wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to his son who was digging a ditch in the distance.

Yue He bought ten acres of barren dry land this year, the weather is good these days, and his son is also at home, so he seized the time to plough the land again, let it dry for more than half a year, and then he can plant wheat in autumn.

The Yue family has a big ox, and it is not too laborious to plough the fields, but the trouble is to dig a ditch, they need to dig a ditch and connect it to the nearby irrigation canal, so that they can bring the water over, but the nearest canal is also dozens of zhang away.

Yue Fei looked at the sky, and said to Li Yanqing, who helped him dig the ditch: "Anyway, we can't finish digging tonight, let's clean up and leave!" ”

Li Yanqing stretched his arm and smiled: "The physical strength is okay, but the arm is a little sore." ”

The two ran to the river to wash their faces, cleaned up a little, and went to Wang Gui's house together.

Sure enough, as Tang Huai expected, as soon as he entered the door, Wang Gui said to Li Yanqing: "I talked to my grandfather, but the result is not too good, I'm afraid it will disappoint you." ”

This result was expected by Li Yanqing, and when he saw Wang Gui's face full of frustration, he comforted: "It's okay, you've done your best." ”

Wang Gui sighed, "Grandfather said that I am too young and do not understand human feelings, let's not interfere in the affairs of adults, I am already fourteen years old, and I am still a child in his eyes, I really have nothing to say." ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Treat people and things more, dance less with knives and sticks, in the eyes of my grandfather, you will grow up slowly." ”

"Forget it! I can't talk to those people. ”

Li Yanqing looked around, but he didn't see Tang Yuan'er, so he asked with a smile: "The little lady didn't follow you, it's rare!" ”

At the mention of Tang Yuan'er, Wang Gui felt a headache, he frowned and said: "That little lady is dressed up today, as if to celebrate her, she follows me everywhere, many people make fun of me, so I asked my sister to help and tripped her in the inner house." ”

Li Yanqing knew that Wang Gui actually liked Tang Yuan'er very much, but he was not very embarrassed, at this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw Wang Gui's father hurriedly coming out of the guest hall, looking around, and said with a smile: "Your father seems to be looking for you!" ”

Wang Gui was startled, and hurriedly hid behind Li Yanqing, "Help me block it, don't be seen by my father." ”

But it was too late, Wang Gui's big red robe was exposed behind Li Yanqing, Wang Gui's father first saw Li Yanqing, and then saw Wang Gui's red robe, his eyes lit up, and he rushed forward and dragged Wang Gui out, "I'm looking for you everywhere, come with me, grandfather is going to be angry." ”

"Daddy, I really don't want to deal with those people anymore!"

"Less nonsense, let's go!"

Wang Gui glanced at Li Yanqing helplessly, was dragged away by his father, Wang Gui just left, the patriarch Li Wenyou walked out of the side door of the courtyard and beckoned to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing walked up quickly, Li Wenyou pulled him to a corner, and asked urgently: "How is it, did Wang Gui tell his grandfather?" ”

"It's been said, but it still doesn't work!"

Li Wenyou's eyes showed extreme disappointment, this was his only hope, he found a few more families with boats last night, either the boat was expropriated, or he didn't dare to sail, now only the Wang family's fleet can enter and exit the Yongji Canal, and now even the last ray of hope has been cut off, how can he not be disappointed.

"Patriarch, why don't you let me talk to your grandfather!"

Li Wenyou sighed, "I have repeatedly negotiated with Wang Gui's grandfather, and his attitude is very clear, unless Zhang Junbao gives up by himself, he can only remain neutral, with the relationship between Zhang and Wang, this is his biggest concession, how can I not know what to do." ”

After a moment of silence, Li Yanqing asked, "Can the patriarch negotiate with Zhang Junbao?" ”

Li Wenyou let out a heavy breath from his nostrils, as if the name 'Zhang Junbao' had caused serious desecration of his ears.

However, he had to admit that he had been weak.

"How could I not go to him? I went to him early in the morning, Zhang Junbao's conditions were too harsh, let us sell him the 100 hectares of Shangtian over there in Xiaohonglin, that is ancestral property, how can I agree! ”

Li Wenyou was already desperate, not so much that he was comforting Li Yanqing, it was better to say that he was comforting himself.

"It's really not good, I'll go to the capital, explain the reason to Cao Ji Grain and apologize! Double the deposit of the compensation grain bank, I only hope that this big customer can keep it. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Wenyou immediately closed his mouth, a dark cloud appeared on his face, and when Li Yanqing turned around, he saw Zhang Junbao appear next to the side door, looking at them with a smile.

Li Wenyou snorted heavily and pulled Li Yanqing to leave, but Zhang Junbao stepped forward and said with a dark smile: "I'm sorry, I want to tell Brother Li a good news, Marriott has promised to lend me the fleet." ”

"You-"

Li Wenyou was furious, annoyed and embarrassed, stomped his feet and turned around and left, Li Yanqing was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after him, "Patriarch, wait a minute!" ”

Zhang Junbao wanted this effect, he laughed proudly, this time for the battle of the fleet, he and Li Wenyou have torn their faces, and the apparent friendship is gone, Zhang Junbao thought about the clan dispute ten years ago, it is best that the Li family can go bankrupt, and Li Wenyou will be imprisoned, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Li Yanqing chased to the door and finally grabbed Li Wenyou, who was hurrying, "Patriarch, don't be in a hurry to go, listen to me." ”

Li Wenyou's face was flushed with anger, and he said angrily: "Wang Wanhao doesn't give me face, what am I still doing here and being humiliated?" ”

Li Yanqing saw that many people next to him were looking at this side, and hurriedly pulled the patriarch aside, and persuaded in a low voice: "Wang Wanhao may have agreed to the Zhang family, but it is definitely not his heart, I believe that he is also very sorry for the patriarch in his heart, and he will happily agree next time he borrows a boat, but as soon as the patriarch leaves today, not only Li and Zhang are evil, but the relationship between the Li and Wang families is also over, and the Tang family will also stand on the side of the Wang family, and the Li family will be isolated in Xiaohe Township in the future, and the patriarch will think twice!" ”

Li Wenyou calmed down a little, he knew that Li Yanqing was right, but he was panicked in his heart, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't swallow this breath!" ”

Li Yanqing said in a low voice: "I have a way, maybe I can give it a try." ”

He whispered a few words to the patriarch, and Li Wenyou frowned, "Is this feasible?" ”

"If the patriarch wants to borrow a boat, this is the last chance."

Li Wenyou thought of Zhang Junbao's ugly face, and remembered their hardships in the past few years, so he slowly gritted his teeth and said: "That's it, anyway, we have reached a dead end, let's be a dead horse doctor!" ”

At this time, Wang Wanhao heard that Li Wenyou was angry, so he was so anxious that he ran out, grabbed Li Wenyou and said: "Brother, don't go, the younger brother will make amends for my brother's sins, I still stand in the morning on the matter of the fleet, I just told Lao Zhang, I will lend him the boat, but it definitely means now, I will not tear my brother's face." ”

Zhang Junbao also came over and pretended to apologize: "The little brother didn't speak well just now, and I hope that the elder brother won't take it to heart." ”

Li Wenyou saw that Li Yanqing gave him a look, he understood in his heart, snorted heavily, and said to Zhang Junbao: "I'm in a hurry to go back, I want to prepare to put wine for our Li family Erlang to celebrate the first place in the county exam, and the old Tang family will also put wine in two days, Lao Tang, right?" ”

Tang Huai's grandfather Tang Lian nodded, hugged his fists and smiled at everyone: "My family Tang Huai County ranked tenth in the exam, and I am also going to set up a few tables of wine in two days to celebrate, please be sure to come with your face!" ”

Everyone smiled and agreed, "I must come!" ”

Li Wenyou said contemptuously to Zhang Junbao: "Our Li family, Wang family, and Tang family all want to celebrate with wine, I want to ask Zhang Yuanwai, when does the Zhang family plan to celebrate with wine?" ”

Li Wenyou was deliberately humiliating Zhang Junbao, Zhang Junbao's face was blue and white for a while, he wanted to show off Zhang Qiao, a child in the clan, but he had something unspeakable, although Zhang Qiao was nominally the third place in Xiangzhou's martial arts, but this year, only three people in Xiangzhou participated in the martial arts examination, which is really not worth showing off.

Zhang Junbao's face was extremely ugly, speechless, turned around and walked away.

Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian hurriedly persuaded Li Wenyou to drink tea in the inner hall, but everyone was talking, and everyone could see that the Li and Zhang families had signs of turning their faces, but they didn't know what the reason was.

Some old people knew about the old things ten years ago, so they took them out and whispered to everyone, and for a while, there was talk of the water grabbing fight ten years ago everywhere inside and outside the palace.

There are seven or eight elders of the village wang clan sitting on the rosewood wide chair in the inner hall, and there is a chair that no one sits, that is the seat of the master Yao Ding, he is not in good health, can not come to the banquet, in order to show respect for the master, Wang Wanhao specially reserved his seat.

Everyone drank the white eyebrow tea that Wang Wanhao specially bought from the capital, and the hot tea was tumbling with tea bubbles, like white shou mei.

Two beautiful musicians specially invited from the county town were babbling and singing a little song with a pipa, no one cared what they were singing, but several guests were very concerned about their appearance and figure, while pretending to drink tea, but their eyes were shining and stealing glances at them.

After chatting a few words, Li Wenyou smiled and suggested to everyone: "Wang Yuanwai's grandson's archery skills are outstanding, why don't you let us all see it and help the fun, what do you think?" ”

Everyone agreed, "Good idea, Wang Yuanwai, please order Sun to show us a little bit and help us get interested." ”

Although Wang Wanhao was a little worried that his grandson would behave abnormally, he couldn't resist everyone's repeated persuasion, and he himself also intended to let his grandson behave, so he happily said: "Okay! I'll tell you to shoot a few arrows. ”
