Chapter 23: Three Gifts (Goodbye, 2018)
The next day, as soon as Yan Yingzhou left home, Zhong Erye's carriage stopped at the door of Yan's house.
The subordinates of the Zhong family slammed open the gate of the Yan family, and dozens of girls knelt on the side of the road to spread out blankets and sprinkle countless fresh flower petals.
The young and beautiful young man knelt beside the carriage, and the old man in the carriage stepped on his back and got out of the carriage.
The other teenagers took the dusty incense burner and followed the old man on the long velvet carpet.
The old man stepped on the petals and walked a few steps, and said with a sneer: "Mrs. Yan's idea is really wonderful. ”
The old and young of the Yan family got the news and hurriedly helped Mrs. Yan out.
When Ruan Si arrived, Second Master Zhong had already sat down on the first seat in the main hall.
Old Madam Yan lowered her head to the side, looked at Ruan Si and opened her mouth, but did not make any sound.
"Mrs. Yan, sit." Second Master Zhong seemed to be at ease in his own home, "I specially brought a few gifts today. ”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands a few times and motioned for the maid to bring a few gold-painted boxes.
Second Master Zhong smiled kindly: "This first piece is for Old Madam Yan, and I will present it." ”
Old Madam Yan said nervously: "How can the old woman be so virtuous, I'm afraid she can't afford the gift of the second master." ”
"Open it, take it out and show the old lady to look at it."
Two beautiful maids opened the box and took out a dark blue shroud with intricate embroidery from the box.
Zhong Erye held the walnut in his hand, and smiled casually: "This was completed by dozens of embroidery girls in three days." ”
Old Madam Yan's hands and feet trembled, and she trembled with anger.
Ruan Si said: "Although many people will prepare some longevity materials to rush, but my Yan family has nothing to do for the time being, and Zhong Erye's good intentions are only afraid to be wasted." ”
Second Master Zhong shook his head and said, "Mrs. Yan is polite, prepare it first, so as not to be in a hurry and not be able to buy it." ”
Mrs. Yan's face turned pale, and Zhu Dongyan hurriedly handed her tea and said, "Grandma has not had breakfast when she gets up early, so she will drink tea to moisten her throat first." ”
"The gift of the eldest lady of the Yan family, the old man also sent someone to prepare it, so please present it."
Another group of young maids brought the box and opened it to see that it was filled with all kinds of medicinal supplements.
Zhu Dongyan was slightly stunned.
"Mrs. Yan lacks a husband to take care of her, what if she is pregnant for a while, and her subordinates are careless and lazy, and they can't prepare fetal pills?"
The two maids sent the box to Zhu Dongyan and sang in unison: "The maidservant wishes Mrs. Lin'er." ”
The teacup in Zhu Dongyan's hand knocked over with a "clang", and the hot tea splashed her skirt.
She bit her lip hard, tears rolling in her eyes.
Ruan Si pushed the box away, "Second Master Lao Zhong is bothered, my eldest brother will come back on the same day, and he will take good care of his sister-in-law." ”
"And you," Second Master Zhong laughed, "Don't worry, how could I forget to prepare a gift for Mrs. Yan?" ”
He ordered someone to bring the last box, and before opening it, he smiled again: "I don't know how Mr. Ruan's dart head and his wife are doing recently?" ”
Ruan Si was taken aback, knowing that he had already found out his bottom line.
She pretended to be calm and smiled: "My father and mother are far away in Peach Blossom County, although I can't serve my parents, but there will be no shortage of people who take care of my father and mother." ”
"I'm afraid there aren't many people who take care of your own uncle and cousin, right?"
Ruan Si secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed in her heart, how did Liu Weiming and Liu Rusong threaten her?
Second Master Zhong turned the walnut and said slowly: "Your cousin is restless, and he owes a lot of money, I'm afraid I have to find your father and mother to pay it back." ”
As she spoke, the maid took out the IOU contained in the box and showed it to Ruan Si.
The IOU said that Liu Rusong lost his gambling debts and owed a thousand taels of silver, and the signature was the nephew of Liu, the head of the Yangwei Dart Bureau.
Ruan Si was anxious and angry, and asked, "Where did this come from?" ”
"The old man has a friend who opened a gambling house in Peach Blossom County. This money is not much, but there are many reckless people who see money. ”
Zhong Erye smiled siniestly and said, "I heard that friend say that your mother loves your cousin the most, and your Ruan family can't get rid of this dog skin plaster." ”
Ruan Si gritted his teeth, clenched his fists fiercely, and desperately restrained his emotions.
Zhong Erye said again: "Although there are many dart masters in your family, but your mother is a woman's family, and she was accidentally invited by someone to be a guest, how can it be good?" ”
Ruan Si said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Second Master Zhong, for sending the IOU today." ”
"Although I appreciate my wife's fun, I am the most courteous person." Second Master Zhong sighed, "I also want to receive a gift before leaving." ”
Old Madam Yan asked, "What do you want?" ”
Ruan Si stared at him, and Second Master Zhong said, "Mrs. Yan? If I don't keep it well, this IOU will be picked up by a friend on the road......"
Old Madam Yan pulled Ruan Si over, and asked in a trembling voice: "Second daughter-in-law, you tell grandma, what does he want?" ”
Second Master Zhong raised his voice and said: "Originally, I wanted your Yan family's shop, but Mrs. Yan wanted to be smart and sealed the shop. ”
Old Madam Yan leaned back and sighed: "That's it, my Yan family can't keep this ancestral property." ”
She was just about to order someone to get the land deed, but Second Master Zhong said again: "My god'er was angry with Mrs. Yan and asked me to help him get it back." ”
Everyone looked at Ruan Si together.
Ruan Si sneered: "How are you going to stay?" ”
Second Master Zhong said: "There is nothing else, either Mrs. Yan will inform her and call the family law to serve, or the Yan family will divorce her wife and beat her into an abandoned woman." ”
"Grandma!" Zhu Dongyan knelt down with a plop, "Absolutely not!" ”
Ruan Si also said strongly: "As the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, my husband has not punished me yet, how can Second Master Zhong overstep his responsibilities?" ”
"I didn't even pay attention to the county order, let alone your warden and father-in-law. He, I can pinch him to death at any time, don't you understand? ”
Second Master Zhong threw away the walnuts, "Your mother's home is far away in Taohua County, and now this Qinghe County is like an iron bucket, and you can't even deliver the news." ”
"Mrs. Yan, you are a smart person, you should know that one punch is hard to beat four hands. You and Yan Yingzhou fought for their lives, and you may not be able to save your grandmother and sister-in-law. ”
Second Master Zhong seemed to be a group of harmony, like an uncle, and said step by step: "You have been beaten by dozens of boards, you have been wronged, and you are not wronged if you are disabled." ”
Ruan Si shook his head and said, "What's wrong with me? How can they be at your mercy and let you be a plaything? ”
Second Master Zhong laughed and said, "Mrs. Yan is so hard-mouthed, do you want Mrs. Yan to change into new clothes today?" ”
As he spoke, he threw his cup, and there was a roar outside the house, sounding no less than two or three hundred people.
Old Madam Yan's face was bloodless, she looked back at Ruan Si and muttered, "Second daughter-in-law, how can this be a good ......?"
Second Master Zhong ordered someone to tear up the IOU and throw it on the ground, and sneered: "What's more, this kind of thing, I can have as many as I want." ”
Ruan Si gritted his teeth with hatred, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.
"Woman, it's better to be submissive." Second Master Zhong turned his head to Old Madam Yan and smiled, "Old Madam, what do you say?" ”
Zhu Dongyan knelt on the ground and begged bitterly.
Old Madam Yan's face was embarrassed, Ruan Si walked up to her and said, "Grandma, I will not admit punishment, and it is up to the husband to decide whether to divorce my wife or not." ”
Second Master Zhong smiled with interest: "In this way, Mrs. Yan doesn't want to be punished, is she willing to be suspended by Yan Yingzhou?" ”
Ruan Si's eyes flickered.
"If a letter to release his wife can ensure that the Yan family is well-organized, then why shouldn't I?"
