Chapter 0013: Patriarch Shen
"Dad, eldest brother and second brother, I'm back."
Xiao Wu pouted, as soon as she entered the house, she saw her angry father teaching the eldest brother and second brother who bowed his head, and she would definitely plead with the eldest brother and second brother before the change, but now Zhang Yingying and the others did not come to the house with her, Xiao Wu was very disappointed, and she didn't pay attention to the three of them, and walked to her room after saying hello to her father and eldest brother sullenly.
Xiao Wu's father is called Shen Wantian, he is the patriarch of the Han people in the county, and the patriarch Shen is only about fifty years old, with a strong body and a broad face with some vicissitudes.
When Patriarch Shen saw his baby daughter Xiao Wu coming back, he immediately changed his smile and stepped forward and said kindly: "Xiao Wu, you did the right thing this time, next time they don't hear my words and go to the Qiang people recklessly, you still have to do it." ”
"Oh, got it, Daddy."
Xiao Wu, who was just about to go back to the room, didn't pay much attention to her father's words, and responded in frustration, and then her feet that had just crossed the threshold of the house suddenly settled again, and she blinked her big eyes in disbelief and looked at her father and asked, "No, Daddy, what did you say?" Do you think Xiao Wu deceived the two elder brothers? ”
Patriarch Shen was stunned for a moment, looked at his lovely daughter, and subconsciously said kindly: "Yes, thanks to my family's Xiao Wu's cleverness, I deceived your two stupid brothers back, if you really make trouble with the Qiang people, I don't know how to end it when the time comes!" ”
"If it's a trouble, it's a trouble, only they are allowed to bully us, not us!" The second Shen Yun complained disdainfully.
"You, you're so angry with me." Hearing the second child's disdainful voice, Old Man Shen was angry.
Seeing the old man's appearance, he was really angry, and the eldest Shen Feng hurriedly pulled the younger brother next to him and stepped forward to comfort: "Daddy is angry, it's all children's." ”
At this time, Xiao Wu also hurriedly came up to comfort Old Man Shen, and under the persuasion of the two of them, Patriarch Shen sighed and snorted coldly: "Have you heard that the imperial court has sent someone to manage this matter." ”
"Daddy is saying that we are still robbing the Qiang people for water? Someone was sent from above? After all, the boss Shen Feng was calmer than Shen Yun, and when he heard the old man's words, he realized that he was a little reckless this time.
Old Man Shen sighed and said heavily: "The imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, and has sent General Ma Dai to inquire about this matter in person. ”
"Could it be General Ma Dai, General Ma Chao's cousin?" Shen Feng was a little surprised and asked the old man for confirmation.
Old Man Shen looked at his two sons, hated iron and steel, and said, "Is there any other General Ma Dai!" General Ma Dai was originally a Qiang person, and he will definitely face his own people when he comes, at this juncture, you two are still so reckless, I am afraid that we will become unreasonable when the time comes! ”
Shen Feng also realized the seriousness of the matter, now it was his own side to take advantage of the reason, if he really fought with the Qiang people again, then General Ma Dai was originally a Qiang person, and when the time came, it was the Han people who suffered, as long as this matter was not handled well, I am afraid that this year's grain production will be reduced again, coupled with the current war and chaos, the life of the clan will definitely be even more difficult.
"Father, the child is reckless this time, and the child knows his mistake." Thinking of this, Shen Feng hurriedly glanced at Shen Yun and said ashamedly to his father.
"Don't lead the clansmen to make trouble with the Qiang people without my order in the future, let's wait for General Ma Dai to come and let him make a decision for us, this time you two have to thank Xiao Wu a lot, if Xiao Wu didn't trick you two back, maybe something would have happened."
After Patriarch Shen finished speaking, he looked at the cute little dance next to him lovingly.
"Hehe, it's still the little sister who is smart. Brother didn't hurt you in vain. ”
Shen Yun, who was arrogant, heard the conversation between his eldest brother and his father, and also realized the seriousness of the matter. immediately changed his smiling face and looked at Xiao Wu with a grateful face.
"If General Ma Dai can't give us Han people a fair explanation, then what should we do?" Shen Feng pondered and asked his father.
"Humph! If he only seeks the benefit of his own people, then we will still make trouble, and we will make more trouble, and go to Chengdu City, I don't believe that the emperor of the Han family will let them come to the Qiang people! Old Man Shen couldn't help but snort when he heard Shen Feng's words.
"Daddy, daddy, are you saying that you don't blame Xiao Wu for lying to the eldest brother and the second brother, right?" Xiao Wu didn't care if she made any trouble, she just wanted to take Sister Yingying from the inn, looked at her father and eldest brother, and finally interjected beside her.
"Haha, of course I don't blame Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu is so smart."
"Daddy, in fact, it was Brother Liu who helped Xiao Wu come up with ideas, so don't you blame Brother Liu?"
Old Man Shen was confused by Xiao Wu's words, and couldn't help but wonder, "What Brother Liu?" ”
"Oh, Brother Liu is Brother Liu, and Sister Yingying, Sister Yingying is good to me, but I was afraid that Brother Liu would come up with an idea to deceive the two elder brothers, so Xiao Wu didn't let Brother Liu come to the house."
Xiao Wu heard that his father didn't mean to blame, so he pulled Patriarch Shen's sleeve and hurriedly explained to everyone.
"The three people who drove you to chase me and my second brother today?" Shen Feng listened to Xiao Wu's words and frowned slightly.
"Well, they helped Xiao Wu get the eldest brother and second brother back, and the idea was also helped by Brother Liu for Xiao Wu." Xiao Wu nodded excitedly at Shen Feng.
"Okay! I said how could Xiao Wu come up with such a damaging idea, and actually said that his father was sick, which made us so worried! Where are they? Let's go big brother, let's teach him a good lesson, dare to lie to us! ”
The second child, Shen Yun, heard that it was an outsider who deceived him, and he had just been scolded by his father, so he was holding back the fire in his belly, and walked out of the door without saying anything.
"Get the hell out of here! You're going to me off, aren't you! Looking at the reckless second child, Patriarch Shen shouted angrily.
was shouted by his father, and then looked at the eldest brother standing in place, the second Shen Yun was a little embarrassed to leave or stay, and finally stood in front of his father with his head down and slowly, lest he would move too loudly and aggravate his father's anger.
Patriarch Shen looked at Shen Yun, who was walking back slowly, breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, where are they now?" Let's go, take Daddy to see it. Since they have helped you, they are guests, and we should thank them. How can you keep people out! ”
"Mm-hmm, they're staying at the Tongxin Inn now, I'll take my dad there now." Hearing that her father was going to pick up Brother Liu and Sister Yingying, Xiao Wu happily pulled her father and walked out the door.
"Hmph, you two also go with me, and go over and thank them."
Patriarch Shen, who was dragged by Xiao Wu to walk out of the door, snorted coldly at the two sons who bowed their heads, and then led the two sons to the inn where Liu Chan and them lived under Xiao Wu's tud
At this time, in the inn, Liu Chan was still tossing and turning, and suddenly there was a knock on the door, Liu Chan suddenly opened his eyes and lay quietly on the bed.
"Did the guest officer sleep?"
Hearing the voice of the shopkeeper outside the door, Liu Chan and Liu Chan frowned slightly, thinking to himself that it was so late, what was the shopkeeper doing here? Suddenly, he had a bad premonition, could it be that the two Shen family came to the door? But why didn't you suddenly break in and knock on the door?
Liu Chan thought and sat up gently, no matter what the reason, he wanted to see what was going on.
At this time, Huang Hao was also startled by the knock on the door, and hurriedly put on his robe and got up to open the door while scolding: "What's the matter so late, disturbing my master's sleep, I don't have your good fruit to eat!" ”
When Huang Hao got up to open the door, Liu Chan was already dressed neatly, so he quietly followed behind Huang Hao to prevent any sudden situation.
As soon as Huang Hao opened the door of the house, he saw an old man dressed as a cropper in the middle of the year, and rushed in with a smile.
The two Liu Chan knew each other behind the old man, and it was Shen Feng and Shen Yun today, who were glaring at Liu Chan with resentment on their faces at this time.
Liu Chan frowned, and before he could speak, the old man dressed as a farmer in front of him looked at Liu Chan and asked kindly, "You are Liu Xu?" ”
Liu Chan's mind moved, and he saluted the old man in front of him and said, "Under Liu Xu, I have seen Patriarch Shen. ”
The old man Shen in front of him looked at Liu Chan, who was similar to his son, and recognized his identity for the first time, nodded with admiration on his face, and then turned around and said to Shen Feng and Shen Yun behind him: "You two don't hurry up and thank Liu Gongzi!" ”
"Thank you, Young Master Liu." Behind him, Shen Feng and Shen Yun reluctantly saluted Liu Chan.
But Liu Chan looked at the Shen patriarch in front of him in confusion.
Patriarch Shen smiled: "The old man's name is Shen Wantian, if you don't dislike it, call me Patriarch Shen, if it weren't for Liu Gongzi's trick to let these two bastard boys come back today, maybe they will cause something wrong." ”
Liu Chan suddenly realized, but hurriedly said modestly: "Master Shen is serious, the two sons are both handsome among people, I just sold some cleverness." ”
As soon as Liu Chan finished speaking, Yingying and Xiao Wu ran over.
"Dad, this is the Sister Yingying I told you, Brother Liu, I told my father everything." Seeing that his father and Brother Liu were there, Xiao Wu said happily to the two.
"Huh." Patriarch Shen looked at his lovely baby daughter with a smile and then said to Liu Chan: "Young Master Liu, why don't you go to the mansion to rest tonight, lest the neighbors say that my old man has neglected the distinguished guests." ”
"This ......"
Liu Chan was hesitating, Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward and said happily: "Brother Liu, go live at my house, I still have a lot to say to Sister Yingying." Yingying beside her also hurriedly interjected: "Yes, yes, I also have a lot to say to Sister Xiaowu." ”
Liu Chan looked at the two happily, if he refused again, he would be a little too late, besides, he was also planning to ask Patriarch Shen and the Qiang people about the water grabbing.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan calmly bowed to Patriarch Shen in embarrassment, and said, "Then disturb Master Shen and the two sons." ”
Patriarch Shen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't bother, don't bother, Gongzi Liu, please." ”
"Master Shen, please."
The two were polite, and under the leadership of Master Shen, everyone walked towards the Shen family, and the cheerful laughter of Yingying and Xiao Wu came from time to time on the road.
