As soon as the three words of Lao Cheng's family landed, most of the people at the table who quieted down after hearing the sound in the house did not frown.

Father Li looked happy, pulled it down at once, and put the chopsticks on the table again.

"Eat, I'll take a look!"

Qi You was calm on his face, and only gave a piece of fresh chicken to the two children.

Father Li came out of the house and took a look, wasn't it the old patriarch Cheng!

The old man's face was full of unhappiness, and he was still talking angrily, but there were three or four Cheng family members behind him, all holding half-grown children in their hands, and the faces were all juniors in the Cheng family.

Father Li's eyebrows jumped, and he saw that this was for Qi You.

Although the juniors under the Cheng Liu family have some minor problems, most of them are kind, but these two patriarchs are somehow old, one is more pedantic than the other, and Qi You Zhixing seems to have committed a crime.

Last year, Liu Gui and Li Lan's affair of fornication and salt stirred up earth-shattering, although the affair was hidden, but the older ones around were all clear, such a shameless thing, so shameless that the patriarch of Liu didn't even dare to go out of the door, so far I haven't seen him come out to hang around, so naturally he is also stirred. Nothing can be done, this one has stopped.

And this Cheng patriarch seems to have forgotten how to treat Qi You in front of him, since he became an official of Qi You, although he is a little afraid in his bones, he still often makes an elder and judges Qi You several times outside. The village chief and Li Zheng have met many times.

It's a door-to-door lecture today?!

Father Li's face was ugly: "What are you doing here?" ”

Patriarch Cheng walked all the way, and this momentum was seen by the villagers, and he couldn't help but follow a few people who watched the excitement, no more, no less, and nearly ten, and they whispered at this time. It's no wonder that they watch the excitement, it's just that this Cheng patriarch's prestige has dropped again and again, like a joke.

was watched by a dozen people, this old man naturally held back the fire in his belly, but he thought that he had something important to do today, and he was full of confidence.

"I heard that Qi You is here!"

Father Li snorted coldly: "I'm here, I'm eating, don't be in a hurry if you have anything to eat." ”

He is not a junior, a serious elder, and at this age, he is not afraid of anything in front of this patriarch.

Facing Father Li's ugly face, Patriarch Cheng was naturally unhappy: "Since he is here, why didn't he come to visit a few elders in the clan?" Is this the absence of us in the eyes?! ”

"What's wrong with you! With an identity, he muttered behind his back that Qi You's small words were not enough, and he still had to come to play the prestige of the patriarch? ! ”

Disrespectful to the elders, such a hat is smashed down, this old boy is afraid that Qi You will sit firmly on the county master!

Father Li said angrily: "I don't have the time to talk to you at this time, if you have something to do, come back later, when you are older, you are swaying around, and you are not afraid of shaking up a handful of old bones!" ”

On this good day, Daddy Li didn't have the heart to fight with him here, so he directly opened his mouth to drive people away.

This rush naturally made the patriarch even angrier.

One of his patriarchs wanted to see his juniors and had to take the initiative to come over without saying anything, and he was driven away by a person with a foreign surname, so angry that he immediately shouted: "Is this official confused?!" Every day, I think about people with foreign surnames, and I don't even respect my ancestors! ”

The first few juniors were forced to come over by him, but at this moment, hearing him scold Qi You like this, several people were scared and wanted to go back immediately.

It can be seen that he was about to enter the gate of Daddy Li's house while scolding, and hurried to stop it.

Is this old man confused?! The family is a junior, but he is also a county master! But if you don't care about the official reputation, you will find a name in private and find someone to replace your patriarch's name!

So three or four juniors stopped on the side, Daddy Li blocked the door, a few overwhelmed children in front of them looked stunned, and the villagers who came outside after hearing the news gathered in a big circle, and there was a lot of excitement in this courtyard.

Qi You, who listened to the whole movement, finally put down his chopsticks and swept around, Grandma Li, Aunt Cai, and Patriarch Cai all looked ugly.

He chuckled: "Don't worry, I'll go out and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he got up.

Walking to the door, the patriarch was being stopped by several people, and he lost all his demeanor when he got old, and when he saw a few timid children behind, Qi You roughly knew his intention.

Old Patriarch Cheng loves face the most in his life, and he looks like he is upright when he is old, and he is embarrassed by a few juniors, and when he looks up, he sees Qi You, who has scolded him several times, coming.

It's strange to say, on weekdays, he criticizes behind his back, and accuses him many times in front of people as an elder, but now this person is in front of him, but his heart suddenly becomes empty.

When a few men saw Qi You, they didn't want to force it, so they took off their hands in unison, thinking of the intention of being pulled over by the patriarch, several people's faces were a little blushing, and one of them reacted quickly, so he thought about taking his child to leave first, but he didn't want Qi You to open his mouth immediately.

He smiled: "What a good day is today, the labor patriarch actually brought a few uncles and brothers to come over in person." ”

Old man Cheng was frightened by this smile, thinking that this person would not dare to disrespect him in front of others as an official, so he left this bit of emptiness in his bottom line, and turned around and snorted: "You kid, how good is it to be an official now, but you don't take me seriously?" How many times have I not seen you come to the door to inspect the official kiln, but today I went to the door of another house! ”

Hearing this, people around the outside couldn't help but laugh, when did this old man have such a big face like a basin, it is important for people to inspect the official kiln, it is difficult to worship you, the patriarch who has lost his affection, before coming every day.

Qi You didn't seem to be annoyed, and smiled: "What does Patriarch Nayi mean about me?" ”

He stepped forward: "Is it to be accused by the patriarch several times regardless of the previous suspicions, or is it according to the patriarch's request?" ”

Although he smiled on his face, the words he said were slightly sarcastic, and the old patriarch Cheng heard a stirring spirit, and immediately refuted: "What are you talking about!" Where do I want something from you! I'm here to speak for a few of the children in my clan today! ”

looked at a few shrunken children, and the old man spoke in a loud voice: "Children with foreign surnames, even take the county test registration with them personally, but your own junior can't even read books!" Your heart is crooked! ”

"The patriarch is not right."

Qi You retorted, and said unhurriedly to the old man's eyes: "As the county commander of this county, no matter the foreign surname or the inner surname, I am my county citizen, and there is no reason to favor one over the other. ”

"And the matter of studying has its own decision, and I can manage the economic and trade prosperity in the county with a county order, and judge the unjust, false and wrongful cases and neighborhood disputes, but I can't interfere in family affairs."

It seems that he didn't expect Qi You to refute it with reason, but the old man was stunned by two sentences in a row.

"The patriarch wants to accuse me of other things, but I can't say that I can't read them. But I have to be sorry for myself. ”

Qi You looked around at the more and more villagers outside the courtyard, and looked at it: "Before I took office, Sister Chun had already given a bargain to many villagers with friendship. ”

"Not to mention the repeated measures I have taken since taking office, if I say that I am biased, I am indeed biased."

A few days ago, the Guo family's sweet potato field could have been sent to a few villages on the outskirts of the town, but I chose this side."

He paused and chuckled: "Patriarch, you said, is it wrong?" ”

"The sweet potato field a few days ago, but it was changed to an unsigned contract, and the villagers were going to make a fuss, that is, Young Master Guo was kind and had affection, if not, he should leave that day."

It was still a few light and shallow words, but they were all vigilant in the ears of others, and the villagers who came from Tianshui Village suddenly blushed.

Let's not talk about the partiality or not, isn't this what Qi You said in his mouth, after hearing that day, he changed his face after changing it to one household, and he was so frightened that Young Master Guo's eyes were red.

The Guo family is a character who is willing to look at the faces of others, but just for the sake of Qi You's family, can he explain to them in a good voice.

If it weren't for this affection, this sweet potato field would have been out of theirs a long time ago!

I didn't understand it that day, but as soon as Qi You mentioned it at this moment, people in several townships were only afraid in their hearts.

The crowd in Xiaoliangshan was still watching the excitement, and someone had already muttered here when they heard it.

"I'll just say that they don't know what to do, and they are still pointing at Young Master Guo, and those who don't know think that Young Master Guo took advantage of them!"

Look at the old patriarch again, he was more and more irritated by the sound of talking around him, he didn't like to listen to this.

"I'll tell you about the junior's upbringing, what are you doing so far!"

Qi You retracted his eyes and said lightly: "Since the patriarch mentioned the deviation of the heart, I will talk to the patriarch about it, why not?" ”

Seeing that the eyes of others looked at him more and more disgusted, and suddenly felt that he had lost the upper hand, Old Patriarch Cheng was so angry that his heart ached, and he became more and more unscrupulous.

"Now that you have a sharp tongue and an official position, you dare to contradict your elders! Those two boys were taken so close by you, I think this boy should be stable! ”

As soon as these words fell, I saw Qi You's face turn cold: "Patriarch be cautious!" ”

But in the eyes of the old man, it seemed to hit the pain point.

"The county magistrate has always been the chief examiner of the scientific examination, you are so close to those two boys, you even have a registration with you, who can know that you will not do that dirty thing!"

"You old thing!" As soon as Daddy Li heard this, his face was ugly for a moment, he looked around, took a stick and was about to go over.

Thanks to Qi You's hand, he stopped it quickly.

Old Patriarch Cheng has been worshiped all his life, respecting the hypocritical and troublesome appearance he is now afraid of, and when he saw the real stick in his hands, he was already frightened in his heart, and immediately took refuge from a few juniors.

Daddy Li was so angry that he gasped: "Listen to what this old thing said!" What kind of patriarch should say this?! Today, my old life is here, and I have to teach him a good lesson! ”

Qi You took off the stick and looked grim: "Grandpa, don't be impulsive, I'm here." ”

Saying that, he gestured to the two little guys who came out to check the situation at the door, Cheng Zhong and Cheng Yi immediately stepped forward and helped the old man aside.

It was he who overestimated the behavior of this patriarch, hypocritical and irritable, and unscrupulous, this sentence was not necessarily available to those who listened to it, but behind his back, he regarded today's incident as the first thing to say, and it was passed around, and it was not a good thing to leave gossip for the two children at this time.

He thought about it, and then turned around, his expression was very ugly.

After sweeping the crowd, most of the villagers in Xiaoliangshan glared angrily at the patriarch, so he stepped forward and asked loudly:

"Folks, this sentence of the patriarch is slandering Qi You as an official?"

The old patriarch gave him a hat, and he could have kicked it back.

Walking in front of everyone, he sneered:

"Although I will be the county examiner, but the test questions will be issued by the superiors at that time, I and the candidates will get them one after the other, how can I cover up for the children?"

"The patriarch's fluttering words are to put my official reputation and the future of the children on the fire! Have you ever thought about the consequences?! ”
