Chapter 421: Prostrating and vowing
After Tan Jiaotou kicked open the door, he stood aside with his hands down, Qin Baichuan put his hands behind his back and walked in slowly. This Qu family back hall is actually the mourning hall, directly opposite the row of high and low rows of wooden boards enshrined the tablets of the ancestors of the Qu family, under the tablet is a huge chair, on which sits a gray-haired, slightly fat, but the face is still fair old woman. This mother-in-law wears gold and silver, her hair is combed neatly, she holds a stove in her hand, and a blanket is covered on her leg, thinking that she is Quxi's grandmother.
There were five chairs on the left and right sides of the old woman, and nine tall, short, fat and thin people of different ages and genders sat down, only the first seat on the left hand side was empty, thinking it was Qu Xi's seat. At this time, Qu Xi knelt on the futon in the middle, with his back to Qin Baichuan, and behind her stood two family members with hideous faces and black long sticks.
"Dog mongrel!" The moment he saw Qin Baichuan, no one else knew him, but the fourth master Qu, who was sitting in the first seat on the right-hand side, jumped up all of a sudden, pointed at Qin Baichuan's nose and scolded: "This is the back hall of the Qu family, how can you be a place where a little bastard can break in casually!" Don't kneel yet! ”
"Get on your knees?" Qin Baichuan didn't know what they had said before, but seeing Qu Xi kneeling there, the anger in Qin Baichuan's heart couldn't be suppressed: "Four old dogs, what are you?" Don't you remember how you cut off those two fingers? Don't blame Qin for not reminding you, if you dare to spray feces all over your mouth, I will ask you for a left hand. ”
If it was changed to another place, it would be useful to be afraid of Qin Baichuan's threat, but today it was on his own territory, and the fourth master Qu did not laugh angrily, and knelt down at the old woman: "Mother, did you hear it?" My son said that the little slut's husband is a ruffian, and he cut off my two fingers, but none of you believe it! In order to maintain the reputation of the Qu family, I had to swallow my anger, what about now? He confessed it himself! Mother, please make the decision for your son, my son was bullied and disabled by your granddaughter in the old house of the Qu family, please let my mother decide for me! ”
The fourth master Qu kowtowed to the old woman heavily, and the others expressed sympathy for the fourth master's experience, but Qin Baichuan sneered. Day, the fourth master Qu is also about fifty years old, how can he be bullied outside, and ask the old lady to call the shots? Do you have a bit of backbone?
This is Qin Baichuan's fault, in Dasong, even if the son is 100 years old, he is just a child in front of his parents, and he still asks his parents to help make decisions about anything...... This filial piety may be a bit pedantic in modern times, but it is much stronger than some rebels who take their parents' hard-earned money to study and quarrel with their parents.
"Get up!" Although Qu Xi is nominally the owner of the Qu family, she has been mainly responsible for earning money for the Qu family in Splendid Villa over the years. The old woman's opening was a little majestic: "There are your cousins and cousins here, and there are many younger generations, crying and crying!" ”
"Yes!" The fourth master Qu got up from the ground and looked at Qin Baichuan gloomily. Little mongrel, do you think that with Qu Xi's support, you can do whatever you want in the Qu family's old mansion? You must know that the Qu family's family law is the most severe, as long as the old lady doesn't nod, your marriage contract will not count, if Qu Xi insists on going his own way, the possibility of even being cleaned out of the house is very great!
The old woman looked Qin Baichuan up and down, and said, "You are Qin Baichuan who already has a marriage contract with Xi'er?" is also Mr. Qin, who is sensationalizing on both sides of Jiangling and making some obscene lyrics and songs? ”
Originally, Qin Baichuan still had some respect when she saw this old lady, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the little respect in Qin Baichuan's heart instantly disappeared. didn't even answer her words, and walked up to the two family members holding long sticks: "Get out of the way, Qin's wife is not something that you people can move!" ”
"Presumptuous!" Qin Baichuan had a tough attitude, not to mention the fourth master this time, even the old man on the second chair on the left hand side was angry, and said, "Qin Baichuan, your matter has already been said by Xi'er!" Now you are in front of the ancestor of the Qu family, who is also Xi'er's grandmother, you better be polite! ”
"Get out of here, didn't you hear?" Qin Baichuan ignored the man, and said lightly to the two family members, and then raised his voice in vain: "Get out!" ”
"Peng, Peng!"
Qin Baichuan's roar startled everyone in the back hall, and several people got up one after another as if they were about to reprimand Qin Baichuan, but the person who looked like a guard guarding the door didn't know when he rushed to the two family members, and he couldn't even see his movements clearly.
"You ......" The two tall and tall family members fell to the ground, and they fainted directly, and the few people who wanted to jump out and go against Qin Baichuan suddenly lost their temper.
"Okay, good, okay, Xi'er, this is your father-in-law, this is the husband you chose for the Qu family!" The old woman was so angry that her face turned pale, she stood up tremblingly, and said angrily: "My son said that you have an unclear origin, and you have colluded with the coastal army and the Qiushan army, it seems that this is really the case!" Come on, come on, you go to Qu's house today to play prestige, it's not a skill to beat a few family members, if you have the ability, you will take the life of the old body! ”
"Mother!" The fourth old man Qu ran to his mother's side with a smug smile in his eyes. He is not afraid of making things bigger, the bigger the trouble, the better, and when the time comes, whether it is Qin Baichuan or Qu Xi, they will not be able to end at all.
"Baichuan, that's enough." Qin Baichuan showed such a tough attitude, not only did Qu Xi not have any anger, but even flashed some relieved and happy looks between his eyebrows. Xu is that she has been bullied too much by the Qu family over the years, and Qin Baichuan's actions only make her feel very happy.
"Hmm." Qin Baichuan stretched out his hand to help Qu Xi, and seeing that her face was not very good, he helped her sit down on the first chair on the left, and said with a relieved smile: "You have a good rest, let me say a few words to your relatives?" ”
"Hmm." Qu Xi hesitated for a moment, and a hint of dependence flashed in Rushui's eyes: "I believe you." If you can't do it, you won't do it, but even if you poke out the big basket, I'll bear it with you. ”
"I'm measured." Qin Baichuan touched Qu Xi's cheek distressedly, and only felt smooth and delicate when she started, Qu Xi's body stiffened, and she wanted to dodge, but as soon as she made a move, she stopped again, Qin Baichuan's palm was warm, which actually made her feel comfortable.
"Qin Baichuan, what are you going to do!" Qin Baichuan turned around and walked to the middle, the old woman trembled and couldn't speak, and the old man in her left hand scolded sharply: "No matter what power you have in Jiangling, you broke into a private mansion, if you are sued in court, even if you have a great background, you will not be able to protect you!" ”
"Baichuan, this is my uncle, and he has been okay for me all these years." Qu Xi suddenly spoke.
"Uncle." Qin Baichuan arched his hand at him.
"Don't call me uncle, I have nothing to do with you!" This Qin Baichuan broke into the door, injured the family again, and made his mother half angry, even if he had some feelings for Qu Xi, it was impossible to accept a violent element like Qin Baichuan.
"I'm not from the heart, I'm just giving my wife face and having a name for you." Qin Baichuan sneered, and after forcing the uncle to be speechless, to everyone's expectations, Qin Baichuan lifted his robe and slowly knelt on the futon. Qin Baichuan's move made everyone present stunned, even Qu Xi couldn't understand that his father-in-law was still in the dust just now, but why did he kneel at this time?
"The surname is Qin, do you know it's wrong now?" The fourth old man Qu opened his eyes angrily and roared angrily: "It's late! Break off my two fingers, knock out my son's teeth, make my mother angry like this today, and trespass on the Qu family's old house, just kneeling down can't make up for your sins! ”
"Old woman," Qin Baichuan knelt on the ground and said, "The first time Qin met you, I heard outside that you were going to ask the family law to deal with my mother, so I was anxious to break in." If there is something wrong, don't ask your mother-in-law for forgiveness, just ask you all to be quiet, don't interrupt Qin, otherwise I will have someone cut out your youngest son's tongue. ”
"You ......" Qin Baichuan's first half of the words still meant to be a little wrong, but behind it was an undisguised threat, the old woman could not care about her life and death, but when it came to her son, she had to swallow her anger: "Okay, the old body depends on what you do!" ”
"It's nothing, I'm going to kowtow three times." Qin Baichuan was the first to slam his head on the ground, and when he got up, he said: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are above, I don't know which two of the many spiritual positions are the two of you, son-in-law Qin Baichuan kowtows to you, thank you for giving birth to a lady like Qu Xi for me." ”
Qin Baichuan knocked down for the first time, Qu Xi's eyes suddenly turned red, I don't know if what he said is true or not, but he did not hesitate to offend the anger of the public and break into the back hall, the first thing he did was to kowtow to his parents and praise himself, Qu Xi felt that his dusty heart was slowly melting.
Qin Baichuan touched the ground with his head again, and when he got up, he continued: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are above, my mother has been lonely all her life, since you passed away, she has been in charge of the Qu family alone, and in the past ten years, she has taken on the livelihood of dozens of people up and down the Qu family with her thin shoulders. ”
Qu Xi smiled, his father-in-law was unreliable, but it was not out of line, he knelt down to show his attitude, but he apologized directly to his parents, and it was expected that the people in this room had nothing to say. Moreover, seeing that Qin Baichuan respected his parents so much, Qu Xi was also happy.
While Qu Xi was thinking about it, Qin Baichuan's third head had already kowtowed: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are above, and son-in-law Qin Baichuan is Quxi's father-in-law, so he has the responsibility and obligation to protect her, Qin Mou hereby makes a heavy oath-" Qin Baichuan raised three fingers: "In the future, no matter whether Qin is by Quxi's side or not, I will be destroyed for the rest of my life, but if one person dares to hurt Qu Xi, go up and down, and go down to the Yellow Spring, Qin will take him to the father-in-law and mother-in-law before the spiritual seat, eat his flesh raw, and cook his tendons to death, if he violates this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!" ”
After speaking, Qin Baichuan stood up, first glared at the fourth master Qu, and then looked at Tan Jiaotou, his last words were just a pretense to pass on to the fourth master Qu, in fact, the ultimate goal was to tell Tan Jiaotou. After all, Tan Jiaotou was by his side today, and the more intense Qin Baichuan behaved, the higher Qu Xi's status in his heart, and this threat might not have any warning effect on Tan Jiaotou, but he still had to say it.
