Chapter 16 A good meal of bamboo shoot barbecue
It wasn't until late afternoon that Wang Fulin and Jinbao went back to the Majia Inn. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a figure suddenly pounce on him.
"Wang Gongzi, please save my young master!"
Since Wang Fulin had no choice but to continue to live in the Ma Family Inn, he knew that with the swiftness of the shopkeeper's previous report, that Cheng Gongzi would definitely come to find his virtuous brother. There was no movement in the afternoon and evening yesterday, and he was still a little puzzled in his heart, but now that Mo Xiang appeared in this way, and he was sweating profusely, and his eyes were red, he felt normal. However, before he could ask what was going on, Mo Xiang begged him to go to Cheng's house in Huangjiawu quickly, thinking that he still owed Cheng Naixuan a big favor, he had to leave Jinbao in the inn and followed Mo Xiang to Cheng's house.
The Cheng family's mansion is the largest courtyard in the vicinity of Huangjiawu, and from a distance, the white walls and tiles are extremely eye-catching, without any traces of mottled and stale. When they arrived at the door, the porter guarding the door heard Mo Xiang say that it was the legendary Wang Xiaoxianggong, and the four eyes of the two people were all focused on Wang Fulin, looking up and down, looking left and right, and the curious eyes seemed to want to pierce a few holes in him. At the same time as the release, the elderly porter did not forget to remind him with a smile on his face.
"Wang Xiaoxianggong must say a few kind words in front of the master, otherwise the young master will suffer a lot this time!"
Dare to love this ink fragrance is true! But why can I, an outsider, speak in front of Master Cheng? I don't even know what Cheng Gongzi is doing and getting beaten!
Wang Fulin only felt confused, but this was not the time to get to the bottom of it, and Mo Xiang was so anxious that he could only respond vaguely and chased after him quickly. The Cheng family's courtyard was layered on top of each other, and the courtyard was stacked on top of each other, and it was not until he stepped into the innermost courtyard that he heard a vaguely familiar whimper.
When he looked closely, he saw that on a spring stool in the center of the patio, Cheng Naixuan was lying on it, and a middle-aged man who looked like a family member was holding a thin bamboo cane, slapping Cheng Gongzi's buttocks one by one. Looking at the gesture, listening to the wind, compared to the killing stick I watched yesterday, it was obviously merciful. Even so, every time the bamboo cane fell, accompanied by Cheng Dagongzi's trembling body, the whimpering sound would come clearly.
"Young master, I invited Wang Gongzi!"
Hearing Mo Xiang's voice, and vaguely aware that someone rushed over and knelt beside him, Cheng Naixuan turned his head with difficulty, and only then did he reveal the sandalwood stick he was holding in his mouth. Apparently, it was this kind of thing that prevented him from screaming. Feeling that the family master who was a master of the family law behind him stopped, he hurriedly looked behind Mo Xiang with his expectant gaze, and when he saw that Wang Fulin was really here, he was relieved, and then his head tilted, and he fainted.
Mo Xiangden was so frightened that he was cold, and immediately cried out again. In the face of this scene, the family who was helpless to implement the family law on the orders of the old man was at a loss, and stood there with a bamboo cane, and his heart was really entangled.
Just now the old man was present and went into the house after a while, he quickly lightened his strength, the typical thunder and rain are small, otherwise he will really be punished forty times according to the master's orders, and the young master is afraid that he will not want to go to the ground for more than ten days!
Wang Fulin didn't know what to do, and as soon as the bamboo curtain in front of the middle hall moved, a middle-aged man came out. I saw that this person had wide eyebrows and big eyes, and he was born with majesty, even Xie Tingjie, who had seen the superintendent of the imperial history he had seen in Minglun Hall before, and everyone had to be called a great grandmaster, was not as good as the pressure on this person in front of him when he lowered his face. The middle-aged man first glanced at Mo Xiang, who was crying, and saw that Mo Xiang seemed to be pinched by someone's throat, and immediately didn't dare to snort anymore, so he looked at Wang Fulin, and his face eased significantly.
"But Wang Xiaoxiang?"
People were polite to themselves, Wang Fulin naturally reciprocated the favor and bowed: "The student is Wang Fulin, see the master of the process." ”
Wang Fulin guessed from Mo Xiang's reaction that this was the head of the Cheng family. As it turned out, he really didn't guess wrong.
"The dog is frivolous and stubborn, and almost damaged Wang Xiaoxiang's reputation, if I hadn't just come back from outside yesterday and learned that it was too late, I would have beaten him to the ground!" Master Cheng glanced at the stunned family over there, and said coldly, "Who told you to stop, forty strokes are over?" Although I am in the house, I listen to the wind for twenty-five or six times, if you dare to fool again, you will go to the family law yourself! ”
The family secretly complained to himself, but the little master was still faint, and he could only look at Wang Fulin with a distress look. This time, before Wang Fulin could think about whether to ask for a favor, Master Cheng said more and more coldly: "It's not the first time this rebel has been beaten, and he is pitiful, if he really faints, he will wake up with well water, and then continue to fight!" ”
This time, Cheng Naixuan finally didn't dare to pretend to be unconscious anymore, he quickly opened his eyes, took out the sandalwood stick he was biting in his mouth, and shouted with a crying voice: "Dad, I know that I am wrong, I shouldn't have gone to the Ya Po to give Shuangmu away......"
"You still dare to avoid the important and light!"
Master Cheng finally changed color this time, and he didn't care that Wang Fulin was still standing aside, so he rushed down angrily, slapped the family and staggered him, and then snatched the bamboo cane from his hand. With a fierce look, he frightened the family so much that he hurriedly lowered his hand and withdrew from the patio, and he picked up the bamboo cane and slammed Cheng Naixuan's ass twice.
This way of going home is obviously much more ruthless than the first, and Cheng Naixuan immediately let out two miserable wails. Master Cheng knocked his son twice, and then said viciously: "Do you think I don't know what the hell you are fighting?" Let Mo Xiang act with you, and let the wind go around to show that you like men, isn't it just to provoke your future father-in-law to withdraw from the marriage? ”
This time, Cheng Gongzi's wailing came to an abrupt end. Even when Master Cheng was still angry and knocked it down twice, he seemed to be stunned and didn't make a sound.
"You asked that Ya Po to give Wang Xiaoxiang away, and asked her to say some specious words, and there will probably be no good words left on the letter, isn't it all to tell outsiders that you are a good man? Rebel, I've lost all my face to you! A manly man, he pretends to be smart, and he also affects others, I will kill you as an unmeritorious thing! ”
At this moment, seeing the bamboo cane falling like rain, Cheng Dagongzi finally reacted, and for a while the ghost cried wolf, and Wang Fulin, who originally had some sympathy for him, immediately became angry. He almost wanted to raise his hands and say, Master Cheng, you played well, such a rebel should be beaten hard!
Thinking about the Qiu Feng who came to the door at the beginning, the Ya Po talking Pi Li Yangqiu, and the ambiguous letter, it almost didn't scare him to death! After engaging in it for a long time, the eldest son of Cheng turned out to be acting in order to withdraw from the marriage!
Just now, the first few hits of the family were real fights, and then they became fake fights, Cheng Naixuan didn't suffer too much, and now that his father is practicing the family law himself, Cheng Gongzi is unlucky. After wailing and begging for mercy to no avail, he subconsciously shouted, "Brother Xian, save me!" ”
Wang Fulin was annoyed in his heart, but he thought that he didn't suffer any loss because of Cheng Naixuan's previous gift, at most he was frightened, but afterwards he asked Songbo to spread the news that he bought his nephew as a slave and diverted the public's attention from the severity of several crimes, and brought Cheng Gongzi in, which contributed to this guy's beating. And Cheng Naixuan also helped him fish out Jinbao from the class room, and cheered him up in Minglun Hall, so it could be regarded as a two-by-two tie.
Seeing that all the muscles on this guy's face twitched together, he no longer had the chic and handsome son of the turbid Shijia before, and the blood stains on his back clothes leaked out, and he looked more seriously injured than the student who was beaten yesterday, he finally stepped forward to stop Master Cheng.
"Master Cheng, Brother Cheng is just confused for a while, please take a break from the anger of the thunder and spare him this time."
Although Wang Fulin stopped him, Master Cheng was still angry and hit him twice, and then he dropped the bamboo cane, but he turned around and stared at Wang Fulin for a while, and then said bitterly: "Nephew Wang Xian, if this rebel can have half of your kindness and pity the old and the poor, I don't have to worry so much!" I am ashamed of my ancestors! ”
Seeing that Master Cheng hid his face and walked into the main house, compared to his majestic appearance when he first appeared, Wang Fulin saw Mo Xiang hurriedly wiping Cheng Naixuan's sweat on the spring stool, remembering such a big thing, it was the young master who was punished first, not the scholar, but he had a little respect for this Master Cheng.
In these years, there are too few people who understand that they blame their parents and children first, rather than anger and servants! But you have to be careful when dealing with such an understanding person, it's not easy to fool!
Cheng Naixuan was beaten twice today, and together he was afraid that he would not be able to suffer nearly 50 blows, but it was an unprecedented lesson. He lay on the spring bench and looked at Wang Fulin, his face was pale and sweaty, but he smiled weakly and bitterly: "Since my father knows everything, I have nothing to justify." All in all, Shuangmu, all the mistakes are my fault, please have a lot of them, forgive me once. You were full of praise for Mo Xiang at the beginning, but you just praised him for being able to read and write, thinking that there was someone to accompany him, I thought we would have a relationship, and there was nothing else to send you, so I gave you a scholar, and the letter played a couple of sentences. I didn't think that the Ya Po who transferred it would be wrong about me......"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about that." Wang Fulin's teeth itched, and he secretly thought that this guy deserved this fight!
"However, I begged my brother Cheng Kui to come forward to investigate those who spread rumors and slander you, and you can go back to him......"
Seeing that Cheng Naixuan's forehead was densely covered with sweat, and it was obviously in severe pain, Wang Fulin only felt that there was only a little bit of anger in his heart, and there was no trace of it.
"We'll talk about that later. You take good care of your injuries, and the past is written off. ”
Cheng Naixuan was relieved, but he couldn't speak at this moment, so he could only reluctantly thank him, and said that he would make amends next time, and then Mo Xiang went out to call the housekeeper, and carried him out of the patio directly with a spring stool when he couldn't move on his stomach. Looking at this scene, Wang Fulin remembered coldly that when Mo Xiang accompanied Cheng Naixuan to see him the night before, he mentioned that there were still old grandmothers and mothers at home, but just now they were beaten so violently, but the two of them did not come to intercede, and he had a full understanding of Master Cheng's status in this family. But in an instant, he suddenly realized his embarrassing situation.
Master Cheng entered the house, and Mr. Cheng also ran away, and he was actually hung here!
Angry and funny, he had to come to the door of the hall and coughed lightly: "Since Master Cheng has something at home, the student will leave." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door curtain was opened again, and Master Cheng, who appeared, squeezed out a smile apologetically, and then said: "Let the virtuous nephew see the joke today, I wanted to keep you for dinner, or sincerely invite it again next time." I've been in Yangzhou before, and I don't know much about your fame this time, so I only heard a little rumor. This time your turmoil is not only about you, nor is it just about Ye Xianzun, but others have other plans, it is said that it is related to the summer tax of the six counties of Huizhou, in short, you are careful. ”
Leaving the Cheng family's mansion, Wang Fulin calculated today's harvest in his heart - watched a bamboo shoot barbecue, listened to the heartfelt words of Cheng's father and son, and finally learned a little shady - it can be seen that the Cheng family ran unjustly today, and exceeded the purpose of coming out to find out the news.
But the problem is, he is a little talented, and this kind of tax collection has something to do with him?
