Chapter 654: Face
Guan Wen and Li Xin only stayed in the village for three days, the first day to deal with household chores, the second day Guan Wen accompanied Li Xin back to his parents' house, the third day Guan Wen went to the paddy field, the lotus pond and the stone field to make a turnaround, said some words of encouragement and the reward and punishment system to the tenant farmers and the long-term workers in the family, and hurried back to the town before the sun set on the third day.
Guan Wen's face was slightly gloomy, and Guan Wu and Xing'er also knew about Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng going to Guan Wen and Li Xin's house in the town.
Guan Wu was about to go to the town with Guan Wen to kick them out, Xing'er grabbed him and said, "Don't be so reckless, this matter depends on what the eldest brother and sister-in-law say." β
Li Xin and Xing'er have analyzed the stakes in this, and Xing'er naturally knows that it is unwise to get people out like this, Guan Wen's reputation is very important, if it makes a big fuss, the people in the town will only say that Guan Wen does not talk about filial piety.
You must know that the word "filial piety" in today's is a large part of a person's moral consideration, Guan Wen has to mix in the shopping mall, and nothing else can be particular, but "filial piety" can not go wrong, otherwise those businessmen will feel that Guan Wen has no filial piety, that is, there is no morality, which makes those businessmen very spurned.
Xing'er looked at Li Xin, Li Xin nodded slightly at her, signaling her not to worry.
"It's a long-term thing." Li Xin stood beside Guan Wen and looked at him and said, "Let's discuss it on the way back." As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered, "Don't let the second brother and Xing'er worry too much, they have enough to do." β
Guan Wen nodded, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xin to Guan Wu and Xing'er, "Let's go back, if there is anything, I will have someone come back to deliver the news." β
Guan Wu raised his fist: "Big brother, you are polite to them, if they are dead-faced, there are many people in your family who do things, and you are not afraid of not being able to knock them away." β
Guan Wen smiled and nodded to indicate that he understood.
The carriage left Guan's house and drove fast and slow down the road. Guan Wen and Li Xin wanted to discuss things, and it was not easy for Yang'er and Youyou to hear, so they drove them to another carriage, and Youyou was held by Qingya.
As soon as the curtain of the carriage was drawn, the people inside could not hear clearly.
"What is going to be done?" Guan Wen frowned and asked Li Xin: "I really let you guess...... What do you have in mind? β
Li Xin smiled bitterly: "What plan can I have, I just remembered this stubble, what can I come up with in just one day......"
I learned the news yesterday night, and Guan Wen and Li Xin were discussing this matter when they went to bed, but they didn't come up with a way. I didn't sleep well all night, and on the second day, Guan Wen was going to inspect the fields, and he didn't have the heart to think about it. Li Xin thought about it for a day, but couldn't think of a way.
"How did Steward Cao do things, why did he put them inΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·" Guan Wen complained.
Li Xin said: "It's no wonder that Steward Cao is acting like this. β
The master's father and brother came to the door, of course it was impossible for Steward Cao to bombard people directly, so it was the safest way for him to invite someone to go in and look at it first, and then he would act after getting the master's order.
Otherwise, if you only say that this person came to the door to extort money and directly bombarded people away, then if it was really the master's father and brother, wouldn't he be able to eat and walk away? If it weren't for the master's father's brother, he would have invited someone in, and there would be no outsiders gossiping, saying that the master's family didn't recognize his father and so on.
When he received the letter from the Lord's house, it was not too late for him to drive them out.
For a housekeeper like Steward Cao, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault, is their code of conduct.
Guan Wen sighed and said: "When I moved, I should have told Steward Cao about this matter, so as not to end up in the situation like today." β
"You are not an immortal prophet, how would you know that they will come back and find the door?" Li Xin comforted Guan Wen and said: "Now we still want to know how to deal with them, Cao Jun said that not only the two of them, but Aunt Cui and Duchun are also here." β
Li Xin sighed, looked at Guan Wen and said: "This matter can't be handled simply, they have made up their minds to rely on us to eat and drink, and there are not many people in the village in the town, who know those in the past, they have a mouth, and everything can be reversed and say......"
Guan Wen showed a sneer on his face: "They are just four adults and a little doll, I can still control their eating and drinking." β
Li Xin wanted to speak and stopped, looking at Guan Wen's expression, but he didn't know what he was going to say.
After a while, Guan Wen suddenly smiled and stretched out his hand to put his hand around Li Xin's shoulder: "You don't care about this matter, just leave it to me." β
Li Xin couldn't help but say, "What are you going to do?" β
The corners of Guan Wen's mouth twitched slightly: "If you have a plan that depends on our minds, you must be prepared to suffer the consequences." It's not like I haven't given them a chance. β
Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng once looked for Guan Wen, Li Xin and Guan Wu bumped into this scene, although Guan Wen refused, but Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng were naturally unwilling, and it was common sense to think about other methods.
Li Xin sighed: "I am in charge of the house after all, if you want to do it, I have no opinion, but you have to tell me everything, okay?" β
Guan Wen flicked the hair in front of Li Xin's forehead and said, "I never hide things from you at home, of course I will tell you everything." If you have any questions, you can ask me. Guan Wen squeezed Li Xin's hand: "Between our wives, there is nothing that can't be said." β
"Then tell me, what is your solution?"
Li Xin looked at Guan Wen: "I look at your appearance, it seems that I want to be ruthlessΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
Guan Wen's eyes were cold, and he whispered to Li Xin: "Xin'er, don't forget, the case of the An family's violent death is still unsolved." β
Li Xin gasped and said in a low voice, "You don't want to threaten Guan Zhicheng with this matter, right?" β
"Why not?" The corners of Guan Wen's mouth twitched: "He dares to calculate on my head again, what if I threaten him with a word or two." Not to mention that there is also a fourth Mrs. Shen who has endured the pain of losing her father and her son, and is now recuperating in the village village. β
Li Xin took a deep breath: "You have to think carefully about this matter, after all, Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· After all, he is also your own brother, and you rely on your connections and reputation to do things now, if it spreads, it will ...... you in the future."
"Just because I threatened him with this doesn't mean that I really want to be ruthless with him." Guan Wen interrupted Li Xin and said: "Besides, I'm not a person who sells fame and reputation, if I really want to meet an opponent who wants to deal with me, my ancestors will be turned out for eight generations, so I'm not afraid that others will know." He's him, I'm me, and my friends in the mall still recognize this clearly, and I won't just stare at your relative's conduct when doing business. β
Li Xin bit his lip, and said after a long time: "You're not afraid that he will really jump off the wall......"
Guan Wenyi raised his eyebrows: "You mean, he still dares to poison me?" β
"Arwen ......"
"Don't worry, he will never dare."
Guan Wen sneered: "If he wants to rely on me to raise him, I can't have an accident, otherwise what will I use to support him?" Take 10,000 steps back and say, if he really jumps over the wall and attacks me, are you a vegetarian as the second brother and the fourth brother? There's no way he's going to get anything cheap. β
Li Xin was still in a panic: "Then what are you going to do... β¦β
"I've thought about it, they're in my house, and it's not so easy to get out." Guan Wen's eyes flashed with coldness: "Isn't there a deserted small cross-courtyard?" Let them dwell in it, and let them be watched, and easily not let them go out. β
"You are ......" to house arrest?
Li Xin took a breath: "This is not so easy to do, let's not say that they don't make trouble, the guards here are not tight-mouthed, will they find a way to run out..." β¦ These are all questions. β
Guan Wen smiled sarcastically: "So you need to threaten him with the affairs of Master An and Mrs. Shen." β
Li Xin thought about it carefully, but still shook his head and said, "I still don't think it's appropriate to deal with it like this." β
Li Xin was afraid that Guan Zhicheng would jump off the wall in a hurry, and if Guan Wen blindly put high pressure on them, it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not rebound......
"Let's think about another way..."
"There's no other way, it's the best way to do it so far." Guan Wen said: "Xin'er, it's about to arrive at the door." β
The carriage had already arrived in the town, passed the entrance of the town, and headed for the house. After a while, they will have to directly face Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng, who have been away for several years. For this pair of father and son, Li Xin never concealed his dislike.
They are Guan Wen's relatives, but they look at Guan Wen's eyes, and interests always come first. It was like that a few years ago, and it is still the same today.
The clatter of the horses' hooves stopped, and the coachman made a "whoop", jumped out of the carriage and said to the inside, "Sir, madam, it's here." β
Guan Wen got out of the car and helped Li Xin down, Qingya hugged Youyou and Guozi to follow, Youyou stretched out her hand to Li Xin, and Li Xin took Youyou and hugged her in her arms.
"Mother." Yang Er yawned as soon as she called her.
Li Xin smiled: "Sleepy? There will be a curfew soon, and you will have to go to the Wen family tomorrow, so don't delay. β
Saying that, Li Xin called Steward Cao, who heard the sound, and asked him to tell Tingjiu and Shenhu to wait for Yang'er to wash up and let him rest early.
Steward Cao responded to the call, and then hurried back, sweating a little in his head.
In the main hall, Guan Wen and Li Xin were talking about something one by one, and Steward Cao came in while wiping his sweat and said to Guan Wen and Li Xin: "Master, madam, the Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· in the side courtyard"
Cao Jun came to report the letter yesterday, and early the next morning, Guan Wen asked Cao Jun to come back to talk to Cao Steward, asking him to arrange for someone to live in the side courtyard, and no matter what, he couldn't step into the main courtyard where he and Li Xin lived, but he didn't say a word about it.
Steward Cao is a human spirit, and when his son said this, he naturally understood that this relative was estimated to be true, but this relationship must be indifferent.
Therefore, Cao Guan's arrangements after the incident were also appropriate, and he didn't let people go hungry, but he didn't let people walk around.
Guan Wen took a sip of tea, stood up and said, "You lead the way, I'll take a look." β
Li Xin got up and said, "I'll go too." β
Guan Wenwen wanted Li Xin not to go, but after thinking about it, he said: "Then you go too, just don't make a noise and hide." β
Li Xin smiled and nodded.
