Chapter 322: Gilding
After the meal, Xu Lanyin was called by Zhao Wu to go to the room to discuss important matters together.
Xu Qingyan also found out a few things, the most important thing is that Wang Yi's mother in his early years was a sister to a confidant of the old Shen family. They were sold separately in their hometown, and later accidentally met each other on the street, a secret that few people know.
The reason why Xu Qingyan was discovered was that when he was on a mission, he saw a confidant of the old Shen family in a small restaurant in a quiet place, eating noodles at the same table with a mother-in-law who was a little similar to her. After eating, the two of them left the restaurant with their front and back feet, as if they didn't know each other.
They pretended to be too deliberate, which made Xu Qingyan a little suspicious, so he followed another mother-in-law, and after further investigation, he found that the mother-in-law's son was actually Wang Yi's little servant in his early years. That long-term follower is no longer by Wang Yi's side, and is a shopkeeper of Wang's shop. And when Wang Yi and Chai Qingyan met by chance, and when Wang Yi grabbed a red card and killed someone, the long follower was on an errand beside Wang Yi......
From this point of view, the two things that Wang Yi came out of should also be the handiwork of Chai Zhengguan and Lao Shen.
When the men had said that, they dispersed.
Xu Qingyan rested at home for a few days, and returned to the capital on the morning of August 21.
On the first day, the Xu family at the east gate invited the second family to play for a day and eat two meals.
Xu Qingming and the Gu family came to invite in person, mainly to invite the Qin family.
The Qin family still couldn't go to the sick and didn't see them. She said to Xu Qingyan with tears, "Even if I am beaten and scolded, I, who is a daughter-in-law, will not say more." But my father-in-law tarnished my reputation in front of me and said that I was not from an innocent background. If it weren't for a few children, I would have died with a rope. ”
Xu Qingyan hurriedly said, "You are not in good health, rest well at home, we will come back to accompany you when we go to have dinner." ”
Xu Lanyin didn't want to go either, but Gu repeatedly said good things, saying that Mrs. Xu must invite her to go, and her eyes were red with anxiety. It seems that Mrs. Xu also guessed that the Qin family would not go, so she asked the Gu family to invite Xu Lanyin to go, so as to ease the relationship.
Xu Qingyan also said, "Your mother can't go, so you can go." ”
Xu Lanyin had no choice but to go, not only brought Xu Lanting and Xu Lanyue, but also Min Jia.
Seeing that the Qin family didn't come, Mrs. Xu couldn't hide her disappointment. still said, "Alas, let her recuperate well, and relax her mind, we all know that she is a good daughter-in-law." ”
Old man Xu snorted, but seeing Xu Qingyan's black face, Xu Lanyin looked at him coldly and didn't dare to say more. When he knew that Min Jia was the daughter of Lord Min, he was happy again, and invited her to take a seat very humbly.
Min Jia saw that Xu Lanyin's attitude towards this old man was not good, so he ignored him and kept holding Xu Lanyin's hand.
This time, the second room only took four packs of dim sum as gifts, which disappointed those people. Because Xu Qingyan was angry, he didn't give filial piety silver or gifts when he came to their house last time.
Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanting were angry with the old man, and after seeing the ceremony, they took Min Jia and Xu Lanyue to the courtyard to play with Xu Yuan and Xu Man.
After a while, I saw several people who came to visit the door, three old men and a middle-aged woman.
Aunt He, who opened the door, said that there were guests at home, they looked inside a few times, and looked around Xu Lanyin and Xu Lanyue meaningfully, and everyone asked, "Those two are because of the girl and the moon girl?" ”
Aunt He replied "yes" and closed the door unceremoniously.
Wishing pouted, "My grandmother and my father hate them very much, saying that they are too talkative, they love to talk about right and wrong, and they don't want them to come to my house to play." But my father liked it, and invited them to drink tea and eat snacks. ”
Xu Pu also said, "The grandmother and the grandfather quarreled and smashed the bowl. Daddy talks back, and grandpa fights. ”
Xu Lan was annoyed, things gather by like, people by groups, that dead old man loves to talk in the countryside, and he came here to mingle with these people. Those who don't accept concubines must have listened to what those people said. Moreover, Bacheng also took the affairs of the Qin family and the Zhou family to the outside to talk about it.
The old man didn't remember his feelings, he was vain, and stepped on the Qin family to put gold on his face. I thought of him too well before, and he was completely beyond his prediction.
Xu Lanyin took the wish aside and knew something from the side. The old man likes to talk to a few idlers on this street, and he used to like to gather at Xu's house, and the old lady doesn't like to listen to the old man say everything, so she quarrels with the old man in front of those people, and smashes the tea bowl. Those few people didn't dare to come to Xu's house every day, and went to Wang's house and Li's house to play, and they also went with them. Old man Xu's favorite thing to show off is that Xu Qingyan was a meritorious service to the imperial court, the Zhou family followed Xu Qingyan to obtain information, and was finally caught and killed by the enemy, how did the emperor reward the two, saying that they were heroes who made meritorious contributions to the imperial court. What he was most angry about was that the Qin family had a bad background, and he still had to block the Zhou family's way......
Xu Lan was filled with grief and indignation, rushed into the upper room and said, "I knew that some hearts were not hot, but I didn't expect that these people's hearts were harder than stones. In the first nine years, my father only stayed at home for a few months, and my mother raised our brothers and sisters alone, and honored the old man for my father. For the next eight years, my father was never heard from, and they all said that he was dead. My mother kept a holiday for my father, hardly went out, and never said a word to outsiders. She is wise and polite, and has never done a single transgressive thing. Why are you ruining my mother's reputation everywhere? If you step my mother into the mud, how much gold can you put on your face? ”
She didn't name her, but her eyes were staring at what Old Man Xu said, her eyes full of anger.
Old man Xu was also angry, stood up and scolded, "The big unfilial thing actually dares to scold the elders." "After scolding, I have to rush up and beat people.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Don't be angry because of the girl......"
Xu Lanyin didn't listen to the old lady's explanation, turned around and pulled Xu Lanting and said, "Our mother has been rumored to be like that, why are you still staying here?" ”
Xu Lanting was also angry and followed Xu Lanyin out. Xu Lanyue saw it and ran out with it.
Ding Gu drove the car, and he hurriedly drove the mule cart out.
Xu Qingyan did not stop his children from leaving, and he was also angry. If he hadn't returned to the capital tomorrow, he would have wanted to leave.
Sitting in the car, Xu Lanyin said sorry to Xu Man in her heart, that little Zhengtai must not be able to run a good fight. But he is the eldest grandson of the long house, and Old Man Xu will never hold a grudge against him no matter how angry he is.
They didn't dare to go home directly to eat, and each ate a bowl of ravioli outside. Xu Lanyin also instructed the two children not to talk nonsense outside when they go home, and not to talk about their quarrels.
After another round on the street, they returned home.
As soon as they arrived home, Xu Qingyan also came back, and several of them pretended to be nothing.
When the Qin family was talking to the children, Xu Qingyan pulled Xu Lanyin to the side room and said in a low voice, "It's not right for your master to do that, I said him harshly." But he is an elder, if you are not happy not to see him, you will never quarrel with him like that in the future, and it will hinder your reputation if it spreads. ”
