009, the Su family's plan
Back at Su Mansion, Su Xi went straight to Hefeng Courtyard, and as soon as he saw Pei Shi, he threw himself into her arms and cried loudly, thinking that she Su Xi was so big, how could she have been bullied like this.
Even with Lu Youzhen's protection, she could see Pei's family, she couldn't hold back her tears, and simply cried happily in her mother's arms.
Pei Shi was frightened, she and Master Su have always held Su Xi in the palm of their hands, and usually shedding a few tears is just a little trick and a coquette, where is there a sad time to cry like today.
Pei's panicked all of a sudden, and he had the heart to ask what was going on, but it made Su Xi even more sad, Pei's was at a loss, so he could only ask the maid to find Master Su back, and he held Su Xi and coaxed her.
Master Su had already received a letter from the shopkeeper Chen, so he hurried back, and met the maid sent by Pei's to report the news at the gate of the mansion.
He didn't go back to Hefeng Courtyard, but asked the maid to spread the word that he already knew the reason for the matter, and asked the Pei family to take care of Su Xi, and he would solve the rest.
After the eldest lord gave the order, he went straight to the old lady's Songhe Hall, and the second and third masters came over together.
Seeing that the eldest son not only had a gloomy face, Mrs. Su also called the second and third children over, knowing that something big had happened, and such a solemn atmosphere was rare in the Su family.
Usually, no matter how tough and resolute the sons are when they do things outside, they will always be kind and happy when they return home.
Su Youjin suppressed his anger and told what had just happened, the old lady and the third old man were all angry, and the old lady wanted to rush to the Wu family desperately with a cane.
It was the second master, although he was also very angry, but when he heard that it was the eldest son of the Wu Governor's Mansion who bullied his niece on the street, and the husband of the daughter he had just married, he was dumb and angry, and he couldn't believe it.
"Big brother, is this accurate? Will someone do evil in the name of the Wu family? The second master asked with a hint of luck.
"Hmph, are you blind when so many people on the street? Besides, when Lechuan got the news and rushed over, the beast hadn't left yet, so he wouldn't admit his mistake. "Lechuan is the shopkeeper Chen," Fortunately, there is the second son of the Lu family, otherwise I really dare not think about it." ”
"The Lu family? Which Lu family? The old lady asked.
"In Sifang City, the only thing that can make the Wu family afraid is the Lu family on Surabaya Street." The third master guessed and said, and saw the eldest master nodding, which was confirmed.
"It's really a bodhisattva blessing, a bodhisattva blessing." There was a cubicle in the old lady's house that was used as a Buddhist hall, and while she was reciting the scriptures, she took her three sons to offer incense to the Bodhisattva.
When he returned to the main hall, he told the eldest master to prepare some valuable gifts, and tomorrow he and Pei took Su Xi to the Lu family to thank him.
"The Lu family has never dealt with the outside world since they came to Sifang City, and even the prefect's worship post has been withdrawn several times, thinking that there is no reason why it can't be humane, I'm afraid they won't see us." The third master has always had his own views on the situation.
"Whether they see it or not, we must do enough etiquette, if we don't see anyone, we will leave the gift, which is our heart,"
The eldest master thought for a while and then continued, "It's good to let Pei Shi and Xi'er go tomorrow, if they really have any scruples, I will cause trouble for people if I go, it's just a female dependent, it doesn't matter if you want to come." ”
Everyone said that it would be fine.
The Lu family quickly made up their minds, but they still needed to discuss what attitude the Wu prefect's family should have.
The old lady made up her mind to make a fuss, and she didn't say anything and couldn't be bullied by their Su family, and besides, she had already cheated one of her granddaughters, and now she wanted to harm another? There are no doors.
The second master thought that if the trouble was too stiff, not only would Sufu's business be more difficult, but it would also make Wufu angry with his dreams, and Su Xi was just frightened, not really at a loss, and it would not be good for Su Xi's reputation if he made a big fuss, so he would simply make a big deal small.
The eldest lord didn't want to go to the Wu Mansion to ask for justice, but he also knew that this might not necessarily lead to a good result.
If, as the second child said, if the matter is made big, let those good people say that what did not happen as if it really happened, when the time comes, a small sedan chair in the Wu Mansion will carry people, and it will be their family Suxi who will suffer, which is not what the eldest master wants.
But if he wants to swallow his anger, it is not his Su Youjin's character.
The idea of the third master is similar to that of the eldest master, although the people do not fight with the officials, they can only suffer from the hard steel in the front.
But if you don't do something, I'm afraid that everyone who is a character in Sifang City will want to step on them in the future, and the Su family will not be far from extinction.
"Big brother, a few days ago, my brother met Zhou Tongzhi and chatted with him for a few words, he was very enthusiastic about his brother, and he admired the eldest brother in his words, and said that he wanted to invite our brother to drink, I wonder if the eldest brother is free?"
The third master suddenly mentioned Zhou Hao, who was only transferred to Sifang City at the beginning of this year.
Zhou Hao is only in his early thirties, he is a very capable person, and in less than half a year after coming, he has made a few cracks in the officialdom of Sifang City, which has been run by the Wu family, and has done a few big things, which has made many officials praise him.
He is good at dancing with long sleeves, and he has a kind face to everyone, even for merchants like the Su family, he has always been friendly, the Su family adheres to the attitude of not excluding or standing in line, and is also polite to him, there should be a lot of filial piety, but there is no friendship.
However, now it seems that it doesn't hurt to have more contact, so that people with ambition and ability can just add to the Wu family's blockage.
As soon as the eldest master heard it, he understood what the third master meant, and immediately began to arrange it.
How did he think that the second master was still thinking about Su Meng in the Wu family, and repeatedly persuaded the eldest brother to settle the matter, but was scolded by the eldest master.
The old lady also scolded him for being a sin, picked up the crutches at hand and went over twice, so that the second old man screamed and didn't dare to say anything again.
The small meeting in the Songhe Hall ended in the screams of the second master, and the eldest master went to the Pei family while thinking about how to make trouble for the Wu Mansion secretly.
Su Xi cried a lot, and it was okay, she should eat and drink, as if she was not the one who cried just now.
It was Pei's family, who knew the reason for the matter, and tears fell in distress, and he greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the Wu Mansion while crying.
Pei was originally the daughter of a family in the market, and the family did some small business, she often guarded the stall for her father when she was a child, and dealt with the tough women in the neighborhood since she was a child, and scolding people is nothing.
It wasn't until I grew up that I slowly changed, and after I got married and had children, I was even more restrained, determined to be a good example for my children.
It can be seen that Pei Shi is really angry this time and has lost his mind.
When the eldest lord saw Su Xi, who was eating happily, and Pei Shi, who was scolding, he felt a little funny in his heart.
He briefly explained his plan to his wife and daughter, and was unanimously praised by the two.
The eldest master and Pei Shi repeatedly confirmed that Su Xi was really not affected, so they were really relieved, and the family happily had dinner together.
