Chapter 15 The Zhao Family's Proposal
Just when Tang Feng and the others entered the cultivation, in the Tang family's mansion, many maids and servants of the Tang family were sending fragrant tea and pastries to the guests of the Zhao family.
In the lobby of the Tang family's mansion, Tang Xiong, the patriarch of the Tang family, sat in front of the hall. On either side of him sat Tang Longfei, the great elder of the Tang family, and Tang Dongsheng, the second elder.
And the third elder Tang Kongxuan and the other elders also sat on the elder seat under the hall in turn, and several other talented young generations of the Tang family, including the eldest young master Tang Qi, the second young master Tang Yu, the third young master Tang Shaohua and Tang Qian'er, Tang Murong, and Tang Ziying all followed the elders and fell under the hall.
At this time, the most conspicuous thing was a white-haired old man sitting on the VIP seat. Although the old man looked like an old man, the muscles all over his body and the glint in his eyes made people feel the slightest sense of the old man's twilight.
His sturdy body was draped in a gray robe, his long hair was shawl, the bridge of his nose was high, and a heroic spirit flashed between his eyebrows, which made people feel a huge sense of oppression. This person is the old patriarch of the Zhao family who is in full swing in Qiyang City-Zhao Tianwei!
At this time, behind Zhao Tianwei sat several middle-aged people with calm breaths, these two people were Fang Yuesong, the head of the Fang family, and Ye Tianfan, the head of the Ye family. The patriarchs of the two major families actually committed themselves to following Zhao Tianwei to the Tang family, and they must have already attached themselves to the Zhao family.
There is also a white-clothed man with a feather fan and a feather crown on his head beside Zhao Tianwei, who is the third son of the Zhao family, Zhao Lingyu, who had a conflict with Tang Feng yesterday. At this time, Zhao Lingyu's eyes were intently looking at Tang Ziying, who was sitting next to Tang Kongxuan, as if a vicious wolf was staring at a little sheep, full of playful and sadistic expression.
"Hehe, Old Patriarch Zhao, please use tea. "In the face of Zhao Tianwei's coercion at the peak of the ninth order, Rao is Tang Xiong, a powerhouse with eight-star strength, also felt a burst of pressure. Don't dare to be disrespectful to them.
"Hmph!" Zhao Tianwei didn't give Tang Xiong any face, he immediately snorted coldly, and said dissatisfied: "I, Zhao Tianwei, personally came to your Tang family today to propose marriage for my grandson, your Tang family is good, Tang Qian himself didn't come out to greet the guests, and even asked you to come to receive me with such a junior, I really don't plan not to give the old man face!"
As soon as Zhao Tianwei said this, the Fang family patriarch and the Ye family patriarch behind him also followed suit: "Yes, Tang Xiong, you are really right." The old patriarch of the Zhao family has come to visit in person, can't you old man Tang Qian come out to greet him. ”
Listening to Zhao Tianwei's arrogant words and Fang Yuesong and Ye Tianfan's echoed voices, a trace of anger rose in the hearts of the elders of the Tang family and the clansmen. When Zhao Tianwei came to the Tang family, the entire Tang family stopped all clan affairs to receive them, and they were still not satisfied.
Tang Xiong, who was sitting in front of the hall, didn't dare to make the slightest mistake to Zhao Tianwei, and hurriedly explained: "The old man has been in retreat for five years to cultivate and impact the cultivation of the nine-star level, and he can't come out to greet the old patriarch, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Haha, just with Tang Gan's old horseman's qualifications, he also wants to impact the nine-star level cultivation! It's really self-sufficient, the nine-star level cultivation is so easy to impact, then how can our Zhao family only have three nine-star level masters!" Zhao Tianwei laughed loudly, not caring about the ugly faces of the Tang family at all.
"Yes, in the entire Qiyang City, only the Zhao family has the strength to cultivate a nine-star level master. It is a dream for other families to want to produce a nine-star level master. "The Fang family and the Ye family are also derogating the Tang family while patting Zhao Tianwei's ass.
Zhao Tianwei said to Tang Xiong: "I won't talk nonsense to you, the purpose of my coming today must be clear to you, I am here to propose to your Tang family Tang Ziying for my grandson!"
"Yu'er, come out and meet your future father-in-law!" Immediately, Zhao Tianwei glanced at Zhao Lingyu.
Zhao Lingyu smiled, stood up, hugged his fist at Tang Ziying's father, Tang Kongxuan, and greeted: "Father-in-law, Ling Yu is sincere to Miss Ziying, and hopes to be fulfilled." ”
At this time, Tang Ziying's face was pale, she knew very well what kind of person Zhao Lingyu was, not to mention the Fengyue place, drinking flowers and wine, and even mutilating a few famous daughters. Leaning on the family behind him, I don't know how many hurtful things I have done.
Zhao Lingyu's bad deeds are full of Tang Kongxuan, how could he not know that if his daughter really followed him, how could there be any happiness at all!
"Zhao Sangongzi is a talent, and it is her blessing that my girl can get your favor. It's just that Zhao Sangongzi already has a wife, and if you come to propose marriage now, wouldn't that make my Ziying a concubine for you!" Tang Kongxuan suppressed his anger and shirked.
"What! let Cousin Ziying be a concubine for the Zhao family!"
As soon as Tang Kongxuan's words came out, the Tang family, who didn't know the details, were furious.
Tang Ziying is one of the best juniors of the entire Tang family, and it is also the object that everyone in his generation wants to pursue. And now, the people of the Zhao family came over to marry Tang Ziying home as a concubine! This is definitely something that every member of the Tang family cannot tolerate!
"Zhao Lingyu, my sister can marry anyone, but she can't be a concubine. I, as an elder brother, will definitely not agree to this marriage!" A white-shirted young man behind Tang Kongxuan was furious, stood up and refused. This white-shirted young man is Tang Ziying's own brother Tang Shaohua, and his strength has reached the four-star level, which can be regarded as a talented one among the young people of the Tang family.
"Bang!" Before the white-shirted young man's voice fell, a powerful battle qi burst out from Zhao Tianwei's chest, and finally hit him the chest.
"Woo!" Tang Shaohua immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body was thrown backwards like a kite with a broken string, and finally smashed on the stone pillar behind him.
"Hua'er!"
"Brother!"
"Fourth brother!"
Tang Kongxuan's face changed, and he immediately got up and rushed to the stone pillar. Stretched out his hand to help Tang Shaohua, who was dying, and probed his body, it turned out that the tendons and veins were broken, and he was abolished by Zhao Tianwei on the spot!
At this time, Tang Ziying and many other peers ran over one after another, and when they saw Tang Shaohua's scattered battle spirit, they seemed to understand something, and they couldn't help but glance at Zhao Tianwei and the others viciously.
"In the territory of the Tang family, the Tang family was abolished without any scruples, it was really lawless!"
At this time, Tang Longfei, the eldest elder of the Tang family, and Tang Dongsheng, the second elder, saw that Zhao Tianwei was unscrupulous in the Tang family, and they were also furious in their hearts.
However, Zhao Tianwei is a strong man at the peak of the Nine Stars, even if all the Tang family members here make a move together, I am afraid that he will not be an opponent. This resentment in my heart can only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach!
"Why, you can't do it!" Seeing the angry appearance of the Tang family one by one, Tang Xiong immediately shouted angrily, and his fierce eyes swept towards the Tang family.
"Tang Kongxuan, how did you teach your son. Don't you know that the marriage of this child is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. When is it the turn of a junior to oppose here!" Tang Xiong looked at Tang Kongxuan with reproachful eyes and said coldly: "Today, Shaohua is disrespectful, and Old Patriarch Zhao will come forward to teach you a lesson, which can be regarded as letting him have a long memory in the future and know how to respect his elders!"
"Haha, what Patriarch Tang Xiong said is very true. This child's affairs have always been decided by adults, and such a junior is so ignorant of etiquette, no big deal. Old Patriarch Zhao just took action to abolish his muscles and veins, which can be regarded as a small lesson!" Immediately, the two patriarchs of the Fang family and the Ye family behind Zhao Tianwei also echoed one after another, with a look of good drama in their eyes.
"Hmph, a bunch of bad stuff. Our Zhao family is a thousand-year-old family and owns fifty percent of the industry in Qiyang City. Your Tang family is fortunate to be able to get close to our Zhao family, what a face. It's a joke that you dare to complain!" Zhao Tianwei slapped his palm on the chair, ignoring the anger in the eyes of the Tang family, and said coldly: "Our Zhao family came to take a concubine this time, and your Tang family will give a dowry." Marry in a few days, these are all logical things, why do you need the old man to say more!"
"What, let's give the Tang family a dowry!" Hearing Zhao Tianwei's words, the Tang family was full of doubts, and they couldn't understand the meaning at all.
"Hey, that's good. Your Tang family can have a relationship with the Zhao family, which is a great joy. Your Tang family needs to take out the eighteen facades of West Street to give the Zhao family as a dowry for this marriage!" the two patriarchs of the Fang family and the Ye family looked at the Tang family playfully and explained.
"What, the people of the Zhao family came to our Tang family to propose marriage, but they asked the Tang family to give a dowry!"
"What kind of reasoning is this!"
"This is humiliating our Tang family!"
Suddenly, everyone in the Tang family in the lobby was angry, and it had reached the point where it was intolerable!
"Old Patriarch Zhao, please rest assured, the contract of the eighteen shops on our Tang family's West Street will be sent to the house tomorrow, and at that time, our family Ziying can pass through the door at any time as long as you say a word, and no one dares to have any objection!" Just when the Tang family was all gearing up, Tang Xiong, who was sitting in front of the hall, still said respectfully to Zhao Tianwei, and at the same time swept the Tang family members under the hall with a threatening look.
Under Tang Xiong's threatening eyes, the indignant young people of the Tang family lowered their heads one by one, not daring to make another mistake, but they held back a raging anger in their hearts.
"This is very good, in the future, your Tang family will follow our Zhao family, not to mention anything else, at least there will be no danger of extinction within the next three generations!
"Hehe, what Old Patriarch Zhao said is very true, your Tang family still knows the times and takes care of things, otherwise you will anger Old Patriarch Zhao, and your Tang family will be in danger of extinction at any time! The two patriarchs of the Fang family and the Ye family also warned playfully and followed Zhao Tianwei.
"Come on, send me Old Patriarch Zhao and them back to their house!" Tang Xiong arched his hand at Zhao Tianwei and his party, and then commanded the next person.
After Zhao Tianwei and the others left, the fourth elder Tang Kongxuan gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Patriarch, Hua'er is seriously injured and needs to be treated immediately. Kong Xuan retired first. ”
"Fourth uncle, when you go back, you have to persuade Cousin Ziying not to be willful. This is related to the safety of the entire Tang family, and it is not a child's play!" Tang Kongxuan was about to leave when Tang Kongxuan hugged Tang Shaohua and Tang Ziying, and the eldest young master Tang Qi warned Tang Kongxuan's back.
"Haha, the Tang family is really a hero. Since the Tang family has a wise patriarch like the eldest brother to take care of it, and a genius like Young Master Tang Qi as the backing, then I, Tang Kongxuan, am redundant. Big brother, Kong Xuan is nearly half a hundred years old, and I can't do it physically, I hope that my eldest brother will allow Kong Xuan to resign as an elder and recuperate with peace of mind!
"Fourth brother, no!" As soon as they heard Tang Kongxuan say that he was going to resign as an elder, the eldest elder Tang Longfei and the second elder Tang Dongsheng spoke out one after another to stop him.
"I will allow you to go home to recuperate, and all the Tang family's medicinal herb industry in charge of you will be handed over to Qi'er to take care of!" Tang Xiong did not have the slightest intention of retaining Tang Kongxuan, and said resolutely.
"Haha, then thank you Patriarch for your understanding. Tang Kongxuan had a desolate smile on his face, he had worked hard for the Tang family for most of his life, and in the end he got such an end.
"Patriarch!" Tang Longfei, Tang Dongsheng and the other elders looked at Tang Xiong with expectant eyes, hoping that Tang Xiong would change his mind.
"You don't need to say it anymore, if any of you want to sue the old man and return to the field, I, Tang Xiong, will never keep it!" Tang Xiong slapped the table and shouted.
Everyone didn't dare to say anything for a while, although Tang Xiong acted a little overbearing, but he was really thinking about the overall situation of the Tang family. After all, the Zhao family is strong, and if the Tang family turns against the Zhao family just for the sake of a Tang Ziying, there is really a danger of clan annihilation.
At this time, a hint of determination flashed in Tang Ziying's bright eyes, and she secretly finalized a thought in her heart - even if she died, she would protect her innocent body!
