Jade Chapter 11 Father and Son
"Idiot, utter idiot, let him go, I don't want to see this person again, get out, let me out." Zhang's Mansion, the head of the Zhang family blasted away all the subordinates, and sat alone on the Taishi chair, his mood was extremely bad. His uncompetitive brother Zhang Huaiyuan caused trouble for him again. As the head of the Zhang family, he has a heavy responsibility, and in order to maintain that this old family, which has gradually declined, can stand tall in the new environment of the republic, the head of the Zhang family, who is more than half a hundred years old, feels more and more powerless and difficult to support alone. Within the family, the siblings are not angry, and the only sister-in-law is a gentleman, which makes the head of the Zhang family very sad. Externally, the upstarts from these provinces are always planning to eat up the old forces in these places, and the ambiguous attitude of the Earl's Court also makes him extremely uneasy, and the newly emerging Liu Yuexi is even more forced to snatch the enclave that he was originally determined to win from his mouth, if this makes Liu bigger, I am afraid that the Zhang family will have no place to stand in this Jade Town. Thinking of this incident, the head of the Zhang family did not feel ten years old.
"The head of the family, although the second master said that he did things badly, but after all, he is a member of the Zhang family, if he really squats in prison, it is our Zhang family's face that will be lost, the head of the family, you still have to find a way to save it, the overall situation is important, and when other things are over, it is not too late for the family master to reprimand again." The master, who had been servicing on the side, reminded the head of the house.
"Alas, I don't know what is at stake, it's just my second brother, this is really, there is more than enough to succeed, let him go and talk to others, and strive to settle this matter privately, he is good, he is not willing to get some blood, but also threatens others, and smashes people's homes, isn't this giving people a handle? The Development Bureau has been trained for so many years, and in addition to playing with women in tricks, he has also done something. Do you really know what is here as a tribune? They were waiting, waiting to swallow us in one gulp. The head of the Zhang family came up angrily as he spoke, and stood up directly angrily.
"Don't be angry, it's a critical moment, you can't mess around, what is the attitude of the ancestral hall elders? As long as the jury is all ours at that time, the second master's case will not be overturned. The master continued to persuade him.
"The ancestral hall elders are not bad here, after all, it is their interests that this court shakes, and when they hear about this, they are willing to help, and all the leading figures in the local area have greeted them, I believe that if they are selected as jurors, they will be biased towards us." Speaking of this, the mood of the head of the Zhang family calmed down slightly.
After hearing this, the master replied: "That's good, please rest assured, I will go to the second master and make the confession in court tomorrow again, and ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”
When the head of the Zhang family heard this, he was a little relieved, looked at the master and said, "Master Lao is bothered, make sure that my second brother is familiar with it, and don't make any more moths." ”
"Don't worry, the head of the family, wrap it up on me. Oh yes, the head of the family, there is one thing I still want to remind you, the young master has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for several days, the head of the family, you should go and take a look. "Master is a little embarrassed, but for some reason, I have to say.
"Hmph, that's what Madame meant, a loving mother and a ruined son." has lived in a deep house for a long time, how can this little trick escape the eyes of the Zhang family. Seeing that the master was embarrassed, thinking that it was his own son, the head of the Zhang family finally couldn't harden his heart, and said: "Master, you go, Ciyu, then I will go." ”
Zhang's ancestral hall, the offering in front of the hall is full of the ancestral tablets of the ancestors of the Zhang family, a few lanterns lit with tourmaline are hung high in the hall, in the merit furnace in front of the hall, burning expensive sandalwood and burning wood, and the futon under the hall is covered with expensive animal hair cloak, it is our young master Ciyu, although it is said that he is kneeling in the ancestral hall to be punished, but someone will send it when he applies it, in addition to no freedom, he is still the eldest young master of the Zhang family. Tired of knocking melon seeds, Young Master Zhang lay on the soft futon with his head up, and muttered in his mouth: "This damn smoke tea, why haven't you come yet, young master, I'm almost bored to death." A sneaky figure walked through the courtyard, looked around, and flashed into the ancestral hall, carrying a large food box in his hand. Seeing this, Young Master Zhang immediately sat up excitedly, and scolded with a smile: "A dead dog with no conscience, why did you come now, I'm bored to death." "It was Young Master Ciyu's personal Xiao Si who was scolded, Yan Ming. Yan Ming listened to the young master's scolding, and was not annoyed, but said aggrievedly: "The young master's words are wronged, there is an accident in the house today, and the master is on fire!" In this stall, who dares to mess around, that is, me, dare to come and deliver delicious food to the young master. ”
As he spoke, he opened the food box, took out stacks of delicate side dishes and arranged them neatly, and finally took out a bowl of rice, sent it to Young Master Zhang, handed over the chopsticks, and said exquisitely: "Young Master, please use it."
Ciyu took the chopsticks, took a few of his favorite side dishes and tasted them, the taste was good, the food stimulated Young Master Zhang's taste buds, and his mood became happy. ”
Seeing the young master's questioning, Yan Ming told the young master about the second uncle Zhang Huaiyuan in the past few days and other secrets he heard, Young Master Zhang ate and listened at the same time, and when Yan Ming finished speaking, he was basically full, Yan Ming handed over the towel, Ciyu wiped it, took out a toothpick, and covered his teeth with his hand, while saying: "Second uncle, this matter is really not up to the level, since the girl has slept with others, then it should take some responsibility, either marry a concubine, or spend Xingchen beads, and force people to death, it's too bad." I'm ashamed of him. However, since it has reached the court, the old guys in the ancestral hall must be in a hurry, and they are probably trying to find a way at this time. As for what you said about Liu Yuexi, you will go to Xia Baoxuan in a while, let him not participate, according to my judgment, there should be a problem, I have seen it very clearly in the last hunting tour, in the forests of the dark matter world, it is too important to be familiar with the terrain, we are not as good as a local snake like Liu Yuexi, we have to find another way to do it again, let him not lead the team to intercept other people's teams, nine times out of ten it is a set, you just say so. ”
When Yan Ming heard this, he agreed, cleaned up the dishes, secretly came to the young master's side, took out a book from his arms, and said shyly: "Young master, look what this is." Ciyu didn't pay attention to it, but after taking a closer look, he immediately grabbed it, flipped through it carefully, and muttered in his mouth: "Yo, yes, Xueyuezhai's new booklet, this is a rare thing, dog things, there are really yours, I remember it, and I will reward you back." Yan Ming immediately bowed his head and thanked him when he heard this, and said flatteringly: "Thank you Young Master for rewarding, or Yan Ming is thinking about the young master, these days the Japanese government has been strictly checked, young master, I will go first." Young Master Ciyu was busy flipping through the Yan book, and he didn't say much, and waved his hand to send the cigarette away.
Yo, how did you come up with this posture, Ciyu, who was flipping through the beautiful booklet, was teased by the fragrant content in it, and he was thinking about waiting for the punishment to end and try new moves with his good maids, thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing, and a serious face appeared in the sight of the young master Ciyu over his forehead, the young master was startled, and turned over and knelt on the futon, and the Yan book in his hand was stuffed under his buttocks without a trace. Sneaking a glance at his father's iron green face, he was so frightened that he lowered his head.
The head of the Zhang family actually arrived early, and happened to meet Yan Ming waiting for Ciyu to eat, give books, and his son's superficial analysis of major events in the family. That is, he was annoyed that his son did not study well, and he messed around with these subordinates every day, and was surprised that his son's mind was so delicate, just a few words of smoke and tea, he could easily see the essence of the problem, such a good talent, why would he not use it on the right path, he couldn't help but be angry, and reprimanded: "Rebel, let you think about it in the ancestral hall, you are better, you are more comfortable than me, and you are messing around with this smoke and tea all day long, it seems that you are going to change a personal service." ”
When Ciyu heard this, he knew that it was bad, so he kowtowed on the ground with a bang, and said in a mournful voice: "Ask your father to be gracious, let go of the smoke and tea, it's all the son's fault, it was the son who forced him to do the things behind his father's back, if you want to punish the son, the little guy who is close to me has already let his father kill three with a cane, and the son really can't bear to kill again, so he begs his father to be merciful." ”
When the head of the Zhang family heard this, he also felt a little unbearable, his tone softened, and said: "You have a benevolent heart, but Yan Ming, this little guy, is really bolder, and the next person must have the rules of the next person, can he talk about the business at home casually?" Let him go to the steward and receive the punishment, and if he commits another crime, he will be beaten to death with a stick and thrown out. ”
Ciyu listened and thanked his father. The head of the Zhang family thought about it, took a futon and sat down, saw Ciyu's appearance, and said, "Okay, don't kneel, sit down, and talk to me." How dare Ciyu move, seeing his son twisting and pinching, the head of the Zhang family turned his head angrily and said, "I saw it a long time ago, I watched these inferior things all day long, and threw it at me." is messing around all day long, it's time to find you a daughter-in-law who understands the rules and takes care of you. Seeing that his father had no intention of punishing, Ciyu threw the book out of the hall, moved the futon, and sat happily beside his father. Say whatever you want, don't have any worries. ”
Ciyu saw that his father asked, and it was difficult to avoid it anymore, so he said seriously: "Second uncle, there is only a limit to what we can do, it mainly depends on the energy of the elders of the clan, the new model of the court, none of us understand, no matter what the result is, the second uncle can't stay afterwards, let's go to other provinces." The head of the Zhang family nodded approvingly. Ciyu continued: "As for Liu Yuexi's matter, it is actually useless to deal with Liu, the general location of the enclave is determined only by the heavenly lawsuit in the capital can be predicted, and the decision is in the hands of others, and the enclave will emerge piece by piece, today is Liu Yuexi." Tomorrow Zhang Yuexi, the primary development of the enclave needs the power of the untouchables and the low-level freedmen too much, father, if you can, why not try to cooperate with Liu Xi. Speaking of this, Ciyu looked at his father eagerly. The head of the Zhang family couldn't help but smile bitterly, how could he not have thought about it like this, but the intricate relationship between the family and the local area, the Zhang family, as a clan member, has enjoyed the benefits it brings, and naturally wants to safeguard its interests.
"The precious son of the Wang family, Bao Xuan, came to Hu on the hunting competition, which caused our two families to suffer heavy losses, but he put all the responsibility on your head, and you are still looking at him like this." The head of the Zhang family deliberately opened the topic.
Ciyu smiled and said nonchalantly: "Bao Xuan has been like this since he was a child, his heart is high, and his father has high expectations for him, after all, I am also responsible, everything has happened, and it doesn't matter who is right and who is wrong." ”
"It's good that you can have such a generous mind, I'm afraid that his Wang family doesn't think so, it's just that, don't kneel like this anymore, go see your mother, for your business, I haven't had a good rest for a few days, go quickly." The head of the Zhang family found an excuse and took his son away. Ciyu didn't dare to say much, he worshiped his father, and left in a hurry, and the head of the Zhang family stood alone in the ancestral hall, looking at the tablet on the confession, and was silent for a long time.
