Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Small Test of Strategy, Waiting for the Results
The change in the hall only happened for a moment, and when Qu Qingwen and a few people came back to their senses, Qu Qingyan had already fallen to the ground.
There was a tingling pain in her calf bones, and the cold sweat on her forehead fell instantly.
"Grandfather!" Qu Qingwen hurriedly stepped forward to help Qu Qingyan get up, Qu Qingxi and Qu Qinghong stood in the middle of the hall and seemed to be at a loss, but if you look closely, you can see that these two people have blocked most of Qu Wenhai's way.
"What are you doing here! Get out of the way, I just want her to understand who is in charge of this family today, and who is in charge. ”
In a fit of rage, Qu Wenhai waved his arm and pushed away the two people who were blocking him.
Qu Qingwen stood in front of her, hesitating and not knowing what to do: "Grandfather, the fourth brother is still young, and she still doesn't understand some things and etiquette, you can teach him slowly." ”
"Don't understand? I think he understands everything, and he has a big idea, and if he doesn't care about him, he will forget what his last name is. ”
Qu Wenhai wanted to reach out to push Qu Qingwen away, but in a blink of an eye, he saw Qu Qingyan's face that turned white in pain.
was already too slender in body, and when he was supported by Qu Qingwen like this, he was crumbling as if he couldn't stand steadily.
If he wanted to ask for family law, he couldn't say it anymore, but he didn't want to lose face when he rejected his words like this.
"Throw him to the ancestral hall and let him kneel in front of the ancestral tablet and think about what her surname is and what she should do in this family!"
Qu Wenhai dropped this sentence and couldn't care about it anymore on Chinese New Year's Eve, and turned around and left with a shake of his sleeve robe.
Qu Qingwen held on to his left leg, Qu Qingyan, who didn't dare to use force, walked out slowly, and when he looked down with a complicated face, he saw the cold sweat on her forehead: "The fourth brother is too reckless today." ”
Is it reckless to tell the truth?
She could guess what Qu Wenhai was thinking in her heart, and she also understood the twists and turns in this so-called big family, but she wanted the horses not to eat grass, but she wanted the horses to run fast, where was there such a cheap thing.
The sarcasm of her laughter, the thick disdain in her raised eyes, still made Qu Qingwen feel dazzling in the dark night.
"Fourth brother, don't laugh like that."
"So how should I laugh? Big brother thinks I'm having a hard time in Pingxian or is it hard to go back to this house? She raised her hands: "It's the first time I've been beaten on the board because of trumped-up charges!" ”
"Fourth brother!" Qu Qingwen paused suddenly, what happened to this cousin who is silent on weekdays, why do you dare to say anything?
The pain in his leg has eased a little, and Qu Qingyan no longer needs the other party's support, so he struggles to stand alone.
She tugged at the padded cloak on her body, "Big brother thinks this cloak is dull in color, old in style, and a little out of place?" But I didn't say anything wrong just now, this was bought by my mother during my mourning, just so that I wouldn't be ridiculed by my classmates when I went to the county school, and the son of the dignified county order family couldn't afford to wear a cloak in winter!
"We are in Shandong, in order to make up enough money for the annual examination, I copy books for others and write letters on behalf of others, and my mother sent the courtyard out for me to open a private school.
"Is it really unclear what happened to us in the past three years? Oh, but how many months have I been back in the house, when did I mention it?
"Do you know what Steward Liu, who is under my grandmother, said when she brought someone to measure the size? She said that I should know what it means to be a concubine! Is it wrong that I'm obediently doing my duty now, obediently wearing this cloak that originally reached to my ankles and now barely covers my knees? ”
Her sharp rhetorical question made Qu Qingwen's heart stagnate, he knew that Sanfang had a hard time in the mansion, and he also knew why the Tian family looked down on them, but he never knew that the subordinates in the mansion could also point fingers at him.
"I don't need my eldest brother to send me, I know where the ancestral hall is, you can rest assured that I will definitely kneel down at dawn and reflect seriously!"
She bit the word reflection very hard, and without waiting for Qu Qingwen to make a move, she turned around and limped towards the backyard, Qu Qingwen saw her disappear around the corner, and turned around and walked towards Qu Wenhai's yard.
"Grandfather!"
Qu Qingwen's heart was slightly agitated, and he pushed open Qu Wenhai's study door regardless of it, in exchange for a glance from the other party.
"Grandfather, my grandson doesn't need my younger brothers to pave the way for me, my grandson believes that this spring festival will definitely be on the high school list, please grandfather to fulfill it."
His words were clueless, Qu Wenhai threw the book in his hand on the bookcase, and replied angrily: "Speak clearly." ”
Qu Qingwen lifted his robe and knelt down, his voice was extremely pious: "Grandfather, my grandson knows what the consequences of today's words will be, but my grandson has thought it clearly, a boy is born in this world, he has to stand up to the sky, and his grandson knows that his future and the prosperity of Qufu will fall on his grandson, but his grandson really can't do such a thing as stepping on his brother's shoulders and climbing up."
"My son is confident that without them, he can also keep the current prosperity of Qufu, please ask my grandfather to take back his life and don't embarrass a few younger brothers."
Qu Wenhai clenched his fists tightly, Qu Qingwen is not Qu Qingyan, this grandson has grown up beside him since he was a child, and he can throw the paperweight in front of Qu Qingyan without any scruples, but he is reluctant to smash it to Qu Qingwen's side.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"The grandson knows, and the grandson begs the grandfather to fulfill it."
"Okay, okay, do you all think I'm treating them badly?" Qu Wenhai was a little speechless.
Qu Qingxi and Qu Qinghong are the concubines of the long house and the second room, although the Liu family and the Chen family are particularly dislike them, but with Qu Boshu and Qu Bonian, the two of them will not do too much, there is no additional subsidy, but the share or anything is never deducted.
But Qu Qingyan is different, Qu Bozhong's concubine is not liked by Tian, and Tian is a person who doesn't like to hide and has no scruples, and he has never been less scolded and deducted openly and secretly.
In the affairs of the inner house, Qu Wenhai is not suitable to interfere often, so he can only make trouble with the Tian family.
Qu Bozhong went to Shandong to take up his post back then in order to leave the Qu family, and not to hinder her eyes by Tian's side.
Now that Qu Bozhong is no longer there, Qu Qingyan's mother and son returned home for that reason, and with Tian's temperament, I am afraid that they will not be able to have a better time.
Qu Wenhai sighed in his heart, he can be like a fish in water in the strange court, but he can't help a woman in the back house.
"Grandfather, fourth brother, the fourth brother's future achievements will not be under the grandson, the grandson has been watching his temperament these days, and I always feel that the fourth brother is a pure and simple person, you are good to him. He'll pay back 10 points.
"You have always said that the career is difficult, and you want your grandson to be cautious, and your grandson has always thought that if you can have four brothers to help you in the future, our Qu family will definitely be able to prosper like the Gu family and the Zhou family."
His words made Qu Wenhai's heart jump suddenly, it was he who thought wrong......
"You, stand down."
