Chapter 192: Tripartite Talks
Mei An and Mei Ping stopped outside the gate, letting Du Li Zheng and his son go first.
Du Lizheng didn't leave in a hurry, looked at Mei An, and said seriously: "Brother Mei, since Gui Wu is back, you two families will sit together and talk about it." Whether it's Tian or silver, you don't care what the Gui family wants, don't be reluctant, if you really can't do it, just tell me, you can't let your family Qingshu really ask for punishment. Isn't it a pity that he is a small person, affecting the reputation of the family and delaying the future of the juniors? Besides, 'family ugliness should not be publicized', this is not just a matter of your two families, there is a thief in the village, and everyone's face is disgraceful, Brother Mei, do you say this is the truth? ”
Mei Ping just listened, and he couldn't raise his face in shame.
Mei An also blushed, but not ashamed, but annoyed.
Who is this Du Zhong a fool?
sowing discord in this way, and describing the Gui family's complaint as extortion, with bad intentions. If the Mei family takes it seriously and fights with the Gui family with all their strength, the two families will become mortal enemies.
Mei An knew it in her heart, but her face was not obvious, she coughed lightly, and said, "Let Li Zheng bother, when you use silver, you have to worry about Li Zheng." ”
Du Li Zheng nodded and motioned for Du Qi to step forward and knock on the door.
Du Qi stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, someone came out to open the door.
"Duri is ...... Mei Lao ......, "It was Guiqiu who came out to open the door, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised when I saw everyone outside the door."
The two old men of the Mei family should show up; What is this Duri doing? If you want to mediate the dispute between the two families as Li Zheng, you can't help but take yourself too seriously?
*
In addition to the second room, Gui Chongyang and Mei's are also there.
Gui Wu said that the first ten county government opened the court to inquire about the case, and privately paid attention to Mei's reaction, and saw that Mei's had no intention of dissuading, so he eliminated his previous dissatisfaction.
The movement outside the gate was also heard by everyone in the house. At this time, it is time for the master to come out to greet him.
There were male guests, Gui Er's grandmother took Yang and Mei's out, and Gui Er's grandfather looked at Gui Wu who was sitting on the next chair.
Gui Wu sat on the chair and didn't move, Gui Er's grandfather sighed in his heart, and he didn't move.
Gui Chun sat at Gui Wu's head, his face was not good-looking.
Even if Gui Chongyang's injury was not serious, but it only broke the palm of his hand, the Mei family also did it. It is said that "being a thief is weak-hearted", the Mei family is not only not weak-hearted, is it so rampant to bully the Gui family?
When Du Li Zheng and his group of four people came in, they saw that no one from the Gui family came out to greet them, and three generations of men gathered together.
Second Grandpa Gui didn't come out to greet him before, but now it is not good to continue to sit high, got up and said, "Du Li is here, Brother Mei, Brother Mei, Brother Mei...... Sit......"
Second Grandfather Gui got up, and Fifth Uncle Gui and nephew didn't have any reason to sit anymore, so they all stood up.
Gui's second grandfather has a wooden temperament, and he will not be silent after saying these few words.
The five uncles and nephews of Gui looked at everyone and looked at them, and they did not mean to entertain guests. is Gui Chun, who has always been good-tempered, because he didn't protect his cousin, so that his cousin was injured, and he was also guilty and angry.
It was Guiqiu, who had always been lively, moving chairs and stools to break the silence in the room.
The guest and host sat down, and Gui Qiu, as a junior, sat with Gui Chongyang at Gui Wu's hand.
Du Qi stood behind his father and secretly looked at Gui Chongyang.
But after not seeing each other for two days, Du Qi felt that Gui Chongyang was different.
As if the innocent and harmless Gui Chongyang appeared in a dream before, the Gui Chongyang in front of him had a little more indescribable things, as if he was very difficult to provoke.
It's good if he wasn't injured, Du Qi lowered his head and spit on himself for not being angry.
Since the family sold the land, Du Qi was angry and no longer took the initiative to talk to Gui Chongyang, and Gui Chongyang did not talk to Du Qi.
In the dead of night, Du Qi will regret his previous impulsiveness and willfulness, but regardless of his parents' likes and dislikes, he let his heart and Gui Chongyang be real good friends; Or according to his father's plan, being a good friend with Gui Chongyang and Wei Snake is not what Du Qi is willing to do.
A friend is a friend, and it is not a friend who can be deceived.
Du Qi's eyes flickered, Gui Chongyang is not a wooden pier, how can he not feel it?
When Gui Chongyang turned around, Du Qi quickly removed his eyes like a frightened rabbit.
Du Qi lost weight.
Although the two teenagers met day and night in the village school, because they ignored each other before, Gui Chongyang didn't care.
Now that he looked at it twice, Gui Chongyang found that Du was thin.
Before, Du Qifat became a ball, more than four feet tall, and almost four feet wide, but now it is a little drawn, and the contours of his face are much clearer than before.
Gui Chongyang felt a little weird in his heart.
The small movements of the two teenagers, everyone did not pay attention.
Du Li and the Mei brothers were both looking at Gui Wu, and Gui Wu sat on the first seat under Gui's second grandfather.
The Gui family put on such a big score, but they didn't even put themselves in their eyes at all.
Du Lizheng was secretly annoyed in his heart, but he didn't show it, and only said earnestly: "Second Brother Gui, Gui Xun, Brother Mei, Third Brother Mei, now that your two families are here, you can talk about anything you have to say." They all live in the same village, and they have been in-laws for several lifetimes, so what can't they say in private? This trouble goes to court, who knows what will happen in the end? ”
Speaking of this, Du Li turned his head and looked at Gui Wudao: "Gui Xun, I know that your uncle and nephew know the new county order, but it is an official family, and the favor is not so easy to owe." You are studying again now, and there are many places where you need to support and use favors in the future, so why waste favors like this? If Xiao Chongyang is seriously injured, or if the family really loses something, no matter how you toss, I won't stop you. But although Mei Qingshu and Feng's two sons had bad intentions, didn't they cause evil consequences? Or is it a small punishment and a big commandment, do you say this is the truth?
Mei An and Mei Ping both looked at Gui Wu, and Mei Ping directly showed fear and pleading.
Gui Wu didn't look at Brother Mei An, but looked directly at Du Lizheng and said, "If the Feng family didn't send Mei Wu to steal the recipe, but sent his mother's brother or nephew to the Gui family, even if he turned around and didn't steal anything, but when the matter spreads, will my cousin and Duo Yatou still live?" ”
Because the previous dynasty was ruled by the Mongols, they did not emphasize etiquette, and the folk etiquette and music collapsed, but after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, they used etiquette to educate the people more and more, and the people paid more and more attention to the reputation and chastity of women.
Women like Li Qian's and other water-based poplar flowers, whose flower names are outside, are not ashamed, but proud of the minority; A serious woman, who can stand the slander of the world?
Du Li Zheng frowned and said, "You can't say that, it's speculation!" ”
Mei An sighed, Gui Wu obviously knew the details, but he didn't involve Mei Wu as well, just left a little leeway, and the rest was to see if the Mei family's explanation could satisfy the Gui family.
If the Gui family is satisfied, it's just that there is no danger; If the Gui family is not satisfied, it will be a matter of time before Mei Wu can enter.
Mei Ping was frightened, and even withdrew his pleading gaze.
The son is important, the eldest grandson is even more important, and the previous reluctance also went in, in order to keep the eldest grandson, let alone ten acres of Zhongtian, a few more acres will be given up.
Gui Wu pointed at Gui Chongyang and continued: "Of the three sons of the eldest grandfather's family, two sons died in Ding's martyrdom, one son died in a foreign country, and the three cousins only have this bit of blood and bones. Mei Wu took the murder weapon and sneaked in, but fortunately was found by the Li family and retreated, if he was covered with Chongyang, he couldn't say that the nephew's life would be guaranteed! Du Lizheng, do you say the kid is worried? The dragon gives birth to the dragon, the phoenix gives birth to the phoenix, Mei Qingshu is exposed to the theft, and he can still stand up and hurt people in front of everyone's eyes; There was no one in the Gui family's old mansion at that time, who can guarantee that Mei Wu did not have bad intentions? ”
Without waiting for Du Li to speak, Mei Ping couldn't help but say: "Little Wu, he doesn't dare, he doesn't dare!" He listened to his mother's pouting, and there were people who wanted to steal things, but he really didn't dare to hurt anyone! Brother Xun, our two families have been in-laws for several lifetimes, and your brother Qingshu will also learn a lesson this time, and you won't dare anymore, so you will raise your noble hand and spare them, right? ”
The name of "thief" is not easy to remember, but it is better than "murder for money".
Mei Ping still thought before that he couldn't let his children and grandchildren bear the name of the thief no matter what, the two grandsons are still young, the reputation of this family is bad, who dares to marry his daughter?
Looking at Gui Wu's posture now, he really hates the Mei family, and now as long as he is suspected of "murdering for money", Mei Ping doesn't dare to ask for too much.
Gui Wuzheng said: "Third Uncle Mei, how can you spare it?" If the Gui family's big things are small and small this time, then in the future, others will be worried about the property of the Gui family's room, can they also enter the house in the same way, and open their mouths directly if they can, and steal and rob if they can't? If you really have a black heart, you will directly harm Chongyang, and there will be no place for the kid to cry! ”
Mei Ping wanted to cry without tears, but he was stupid and didn't know how to ask for it again.
Mei An's face turned dark, and Gui Wu's meaning was already clear, this was the idea of "killing chickens and monkeys", and others in the province would hit Gui's family room again.
The Mei family is the "chicken", but who is to blame?
Du Li is already like a Maitreya Buddha, but he is cold in his heart, but he is also vigilant.
Did Gui Wu say this to Mei Ping, or to himself? I'm afraid that in Gui Wu's heart, he deliberately used the Mei family as a raft and deliberately showed himself.
I can't get rid of the Gui family, and the Gui family should be like this, Du Li is squinting, and finally recognizes this.
*
"Even if they did something wrong, they deserved this lesson, but when things happen, in order to solve them, there must be a charter. Mei Qingshu shouldn't hurt Xiao Chongyang, he has a total of 25 acres of land under his name, of which 5 acres are under the field and 20 acres are in the middle field, so let him take out 15 acres of land as compensation! There are a few acres of land left, and the family of six people has to make ends meet. Mei An clapped.
Mei Ping drooped his head, feeling a pain in his flesh, but he also understood that his brother would not pit himself, Gui Wu made it clear that the carriage and horses were going to make a big deal about it, and this temporarily raised the compensation of ten acres of land to fifteen acres, which was the Mei family's explanation to the Gui family.
Gui Wu's face did not change, and he looked at Mei An and said, "Did Uncle Mei misunderstand the boy?" When he said this, it was like the Gui family was plotting to seize the Mei family's property. The Gui family has no shortage of land, and there is no reason to deduct pots for themselves like this! ”10
