Chapter 31 The spicy-eyed Master Jiang
Fifth Master Jiang and Gui Chongyang came out of the old mansion of the Gui family, Gui Chun followed behind, and said with a little unease: "Fifth uncle, really don't take me?" But in case Master Jiang is annoyed and wants to do it, Chongyang is still too young to use it......"
Gui Chongyang was dissatisfied: "Just now, Brother Chun also asked me to take good care of the fifth uncle, why do you feel useless at this time?" ”
Gui Chun hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I said that if I don't use it, it's not that I don't use it......" I became more and more clumsy in a hurry, and I couldn't say clearly.
Jiang Wuye waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not going to war, okay, don't be verbose!" ”
In the end, whether he took Gui Chun or not, Jiang Wuye set off with Gui Chongyang.
Gui Chongyang did not forget the matter of the Mei family's father and son, and deliberately took Jiang Wuye on a detour and deliberately passed by the door of Mei's house.
"What is this going to do?" Fifth Master Jiang was a little puzzled and asked in a low voice.
Gui Chongyang said in a low voice: "Fox fake tiger might! ”
The uncle and nephew stood not far from Mei's house and looked out, Mei Tongsheng was standing in the yard brushing his teeth, and he looked up. I was already suspicious of Jiang Wuye's intention to go back to the village, but seeing Jiang Wuye like this, Mei Tongsheng became more and more uneasy, and hurriedly greeted his son: "Second child, look at whether it is Jiang Wu, what does he want to do?" ”
Mei Xiucai's face was not good-looking, and he suspected that the Gui family's blackmail and the real blackmail were two different things. That Gui Chongyang is not sensible, and Jiang Wu is not sensible? Or do you really want to face with Mei Jia Sipi?
Mei Tongsheng had already cursed: "Little rabbit cub, this is really staring at our Mei family!" ”
Mei Xiucai said with a cold face: "I was messing around with this kid before, but I didn't expect him to bring Jiang Wu again." No, maybe it's not the kid's idea at all, the Gui family is afraid that they have a grudge! ”
When Mei Xiucai divorced his wife and married again, he did not leave room for relaxation for the Gui family. It was at that time that the two families broke off and never communicated again.
Mei Tongsheng jumped to his feet and said, "The Gui family still has the face to hold grudges? Our family has lost your eldest brother and your cousin, and we are kind enough to not let the Gui family pay for their lives, what happened to their daughter? The two lives are horizontal in the middle, and I want my grandson to come out of the belly of the Gui family girl and dream! ”
Outside the courtyard, Gui Chongyang approached, stood at the gate of the Mei family, looked at the courtyard of the house inside, and watched it with relish.
Mei Tongsheng drooped his face, paced over, and glared at Gui Chongyang angrily: "Gui family child, what are you doing at the door of the old man's house?" ”
Gui Chongyang looked at the few half-new and old blue brick houses in front of him "reluctantly", and said: "I'll come to see the courtyard, if the father and son can't afford to make up the silver, use the top of the courtyard to make it." I heard that this was built by my aunt and grandfather back then, and it is just right for my aunt to retire here in the future. ”
Mei Tongsheng only felt that his heart was on fire, and he screamed: "The kid is arrogant, and he wants to plot against other people's property? ”
Gui Chongyang was surprised: "Did the old in-laws use the wrong idiom, shouldn't it be 'things returned to their original owners'?" ”
The literati want to be face-saving the most, but Mei Tongsheng did the thing of encroaching on his brother's property, but he couldn't listen to it, and he couldn't help but blush, and he was panting for breath, and he wanted to scold people even more.
Jiang Wuye watched from the sidelines, watching Gui Chongyang deliberately provoke Mei Tongsheng, took two steps forward, and faintly covered Gui Chongyang.
Mei Tongsheng was really annoyed and angry, and stretched out his arm to make a move.
Jiang Wuye's face was cold, and before he could stop him, Mei Xiucai had already grabbed his father's arm.
Mei Xiucai used her eyes to soothe her emotional old father, and then turned to look at Jiang Wuye, looking quite close: "Little Wu, I haven't seen you for several years, how are you recently?" ”
Jiang Wuye's uncle ranked fifth, his brothers and sisters called him "Little Five", and Mei Xiucai used the old name.
Jiang Wuye tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said lukewarmly: "It's okay, I'm worried about Mei Xianggong." ”
Mei Xiucai was a little warm: "When you arrive at the door, come in and have a cup of tea?" ”
Gui Chongyang was beside him, looking at Mei Xiucai's appearance of being condescending and respectful, and became more and more vigilant. What does that mean? Playing the "favor card"? Want to fool Fifth Master Jiang? It's too underestimated.
Jiang Wuye didn't seem to see Mei Xiucai's enthusiasm, his eyes also swept into the courtyard, and said casually: "If there is something today, don't bother, and there will be no chance to come to the door in the future." After that, he and Mei Xiucai arched their hands, greeted their nephew, and left.
Mei Tongsheng swallowed and foamed: "Second child, what does this kid mean?" ”
Mei Xiucai's face was gloomy, and he said with a hideous expression: "This Gui family is determined to ask for money, and they are not afraid of hot silver!" “
*
"Teasing" Mei's father and son, Gui Chongyang only felt refreshed, and spat out a heavy breath.
When Jiang Wuye saw it, he couldn't help but feel funny: "Why do you hate the Mei family so much?" ”
Jiang Wuye has already heard from his father and mother that this nephew returned to his hometown in the name of paying off his father's debts, and this Mei family is also the bitter master of the "Nine Ding Difficulties".
Gui Chongyang snorted lightly and said: "It's the same thing, who made them black-hearted, greedy for money, not to mention the slightest human touch, bullying my aunt and cousin Mei." ”
If it weren't for their persecution, Mei would have said that he would have been married normally, and he wouldn't have to take refuge in the Gui family in the name of marrying; is Mei Duo here, even if he loses his biological father, he will grow up with his mother and will not become an orphan.
Jiang Wu didn't dissuade anything, but just reminded: "Don't push too hard, these father and son are not good things, you have to prevent them from making yin." ”
Gui Chongyang said: "It's just to scare them first, the life lawsuit is not so easy to touch." I just made a bid before, but now I'm waiting for them to 'make a counteroffer'. ”
The dowry silver paid by the father and son of the Mei family, Gui Chongyang wanted; Mei Duo's right to dispose of the marriage, Gui Chongyang also wants. Gui Chongyang is still young, and he is not afraid of really entering and leaving the yamen; Do the Mei family father and son dare?
It's just a "little scoundrel", but the means work.
Seeing that Gui Chongyang was confident, Jiang Wuye stopped being verbose.
encountered a "rogue child" like Gui Chongyang, and the Mei family father and son had a headache; When encountering a "rogue old man" like Master Jiang, the headache is Fifth Master Jiang.
In the living room of the Jiang family, Master Jiang's chin was raised high, and he couldn't wait to face people with his nose and eyes.
Jiang Wuye was a little sentimental: "Dad......"
Master Jiang waved his hand: "Don't call Dad, if you want to leave, leave quickly, who will keep you?" However, my brother still settles the account, and since you and I are two surnames, it is better to tear this account clean. ”
Master Jiang has already believed in several daughters and sons-in-law to provoke, and believes that Jiang Wu is "retreating for advance" and deliberately using "returning to the sect" to scare and control himself. He was both angry and discouraged. I am annoyed that I have raised Jiang for more than 50 years, and I am still not familiar with it; The discouraged thing is that the youngest daughter is an outgoing girl, and she abandons her parents for the sake of a man. The little daughter who has been raised by her side is like this, and how many daughters who have been married for many years still dare to expect them to be really filial?
Without a son, can you really expect your daughter to support her in old age? I can't rely on my daughter, so naturally I don't have to count on my son-in-law with a foreign surname, rather than being treated as an old fool and letting my children be fooled, it is better to keep the silver, which is real.
Master Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the abacus at hand, and while pulling it, he said with a heartbeat, "Let's settle the score, you arrived at the Jiang family at the age of eleven, eating, drinking, chewing, clothes, and money everywhere." According to the cost of ten taels of silver a year, twelve years is one hundred and twenty taels. The thirty taels of silver back then were the money you were worth for the Jiang family's son-in-law, and now that you want to go home, this silver should also be returned. You are not alone in 'returning to the sect', you also have to bring Siniang, and you have to make up the marriage book, and the dowry money should also be recorded. I didn't ask much for you, so I counted it at thirty taels of silver. Since you arrived at the Jiang family, I will take you by my side and personally teach you how to use abacus and keep accounts, which is more attentive than the economic masters outside. Now that I can teach you, and you have already left the school, shouldn't this apprenticeship also be made up? The four seasons of the year are calculated according to four taels of silver, and twelve years is forty-eight taels. Other trivial matters, I am impatient to calculate with you, even if these four strokes add up to a total of two hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver......"
Gui Chongyang sat under Jiang Wuye, looking at Master Jiang who was talking eloquently, and only felt spicy eyes.
Why is this scene so familiar?
