Chapter 50: Brothers Become Feuds (1)
When Mr. Huang saw Jin Shutian's sincere invitation, he couldn't refuse, so he had to follow him into the cave.
Several people talked about it, only to hear Jin Shutian say: "Old man, the beautiful silk painting you gave you below has been snatched by my brother." The old gentleman said that day that the sweetheart of the young lady in the painting was a local man, and I didn't hide it from the old gentleman, I met the young lady in the back mountain that night, and I also saw the man. The man you're talking about is the son of Baifu? ”
Mr. Huang listened, paused for a moment, just shook his head and smiled, but did not answer.
I saw that the golden snake's face moved slightly, squinted at Mr. Huang, and laughed in a low voice: "It turns out that the silk painting that Engong said is from the hand of Second Master Huang. ”
Jin Shutian heard the golden snake mention the words "Second Master Huang", he felt slightly strange, looked at the two, seemed to think that they knew each other, and was about to ask each other, only to hear Mr. Huang smile and say: "Since the second son likes the eldest lady, why don't you just snatch her over?" With the family background of the second son, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with that poor scholar? ”
When Jin Shutian heard him say this, he said angrily: "Old gentleman, do you know that the father of that poor scholar was once the inspector of the imperial history appointed by the current saint, and he has long coveted my family's salt business, and has wanted to occupy it with power many times. Now that he has been dismissed, his only son still wants to be loved? Hum! Although he is generous, how can he be so easy to bully! Besides, Miss Song is the eldest lady, even if she is in love with the surnamed Bai, the Song family will not agree to her marrying the poor scholar. ”
When Mr. Huang heard this, he smiled and said, "The old man wishes the second son and the eldest lady a hundred years of happiness!" ”
When Jin Shutian heard this, his face was full of resentment and frustration, and he said, "Hey! Why did the old gentleman show Miss Song's portrait to his brother? My biggest trouble right now is not the poor scholar surnamed Bai, but my brother! My eldest brother was lustful and unusually domineering, and his father and mother were extremely doting, and they depended on him for everything. He fell in love with Miss Song and asked my little sister to go to someone's house to propose! is the same mother, why do fathers and mothers always favor one over the other? ”
He seemed to foresee something, and couldn't help but sigh, and then said: "If it's an ordinary beauty, I can't rob my brother, where is there no grass at the end of the world?" Just because Miss Song is the eldest lady of the Song family, the pearl of Song Hui's palm, not to mention that Miss was born as beautiful as a fairy, even if she is an ugly monster, I have to marry! Right now, I'm cornered! ”
The golden snake was puzzled when he heard this, and said: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good, since ancient times, heroes love beauties, Jin Gongzi likes Miss Song, it is natural and righteous, and if you are accepted as an apprentice for the teacher, you will definitely be satisfied." It's just that if Miss Song is an ugly bastard, why do you have to marry her? ”
Jin Shutian pondered for a long time, and said: "Master doesn't know what is going on, my father ordered my little sister to go to the Song Mansion to propose marriage, not only because my brother likes Miss Song, but there is another ......deep meaning here" Speaking of this, he glanced at Mr. Huang slightly, and said in a low voice: "The bandit surnamed Song, using his iron fist of black and white, occupied the salt grain tea ceremony and Cao Yun within a radius of ten miles, and the government did not dare to take care of it. Does Master know why? ”
The golden snake pondered for a moment, and said with a sudden smile: "We, cultivators, understand a truth, those monsters who dare to do evil on the ground must be protected by gods in the sky, otherwise, they would have been killed by Sun Monkey." ”
Jin Shutian nodded and said: "Exactly, Master Shicai went to the Song Mansion with the apprentice, and the Mrs. Song he saw was the daughter of Yang Guogong of the current dynasty. Yang Guogong is ranked as the third duke, even if the saint sees him, he also has to practice the teacher's ceremony. Over the years, my uncle has been fortunate to receive the grace of the saint in the court, but he is only a fourth grade. If my family can marry the Song family, it will be very beneficial to my family! My uncle's meaning, if he can join forces with Song Hui, he can transport my family's salt to the world, not to mention ...... Song Hui's caravan trafficked illicit salt, and there was no need to pay official taxes to the imperial court......"
Mr. Huang was dumbfounded.
I only heard Jin Shutian say solemnly: "Whoever marries Miss Song between me and my brother will be the head of the family in the future." Speaking of this, his expression became confused again, and he said: "I don't know why, since my brother saw the old man's silk painting, his temperament has changed greatly, and he no longer cherishes those fireworks and willows, and takes care of the family business every day, and regards me as a thorn in the flesh, and wants to get rid of me as soon as possible." ”
Mr. Huang squinted at him and said in his heart, "I think you can't wait to get rid of your eldest brother as soon as possible." ”
When the golden snake heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Second Master Huang intends to do this?" ”
Jin Shutian didn't know why, and hurriedly asked, "Master...... You know this old gentleman......"
I saw the golden snake get up and salute Mr. Huang, and said with a smile: "Second Master Huang, did Mr. Jin offend you somewhere?" Wouldn't it be the beauty of adults to be a peacemaker and sell face to his brother, and then put a trick on the silk painting, so that Jin Gongzi's eldest brother would willingly recognize Miss Song as his younger brother and sister? ”
When Jin Shutian heard the golden snake call him "Second Master Huang", he had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart, and at this moment, his mind turned around, and he asked tremblingly, "Master...... You say this old gentleman is...... Weasel ......"
He remembered for a moment that after he and Jin Shuliang saw the silk painting together, the two brothers had gradually reached the point of life and death, just for a beautiful silk painting to make such a fuss, he also felt incredible, and now he heard the golden snake point out that this old man was a weasel spirit, and he couldn't help but tremble violently all over.
Mr. Huang testified it, thinking that since this matter had been exposed, it was better to be a favor, but then he thought again: "I offended Miss Song in this matter, and the old fox disappeared again, and I don't know if Bai Gongzi is the reincarnation of a real person, if Brother Rat is mistaken, then I have ruined a good marriage, but it will damage my practice!" How can you add fuel to the fire? ”
He hurriedly smiled and said, "Since Brother Liu has spoken, I will take back the silk painting." As he spoke, he stood up and said, "There are many disturbances, but unfortunately my brother still has some things to do, and I will talk about it another day!" ”
Jin Shutian immediately moved behind the golden snake and said in a low voice, "Master, don't let him go!" ”
When the golden snake heard this, he hurriedly got up to stop Mr. Huang, and said with a smile: "Second Master Huang, why don't you go with me to take back the silk painting now." ”
Mr. Huang frowned and said angrily: "What, what do you snake spirit want to do?" ”
The golden snake said: "Second Master Huang, you obviously agreed to this matter, why did you go back on your word?" ”
Mr. Huang snorted, his temperament has always been soft rather than hard, and he said, "What if I don't do it?" ”
The golden snake's face sank, and he said in a muffled voice: "Then you can't go!" ”
