Chapter VII Calculation within Calculation
Long Zhantian's gaze swept over everyone's bodies, and said indescribably, "You guys go out first and deal with those injured people." ”
Everyone answered, and then respectfully withdrew. Although Long Da's face was a little uncomfortable, he didn't dare to speak, so he had to walk away silently.
Suddenly, a guard walked in, respectfully saluted Long Zhantian, and then said, "Old lady, old lady, Young Master Shocking Wind and Young Master Dragon Tooth are back. ”
Long Zhantian had just come back, I didn't know what was going on, the old lady explained for a long time, he understood, his face was full of complicated expressions, and after a long time, he said to the guards standing in place, "You go and tell them, so that they don't have to come to the luggage, just rest!"
The guard answered, and then respectfully withdrew.
The old lady fell her gaze on Long Zhantian's face, "What do you say about this?"
"You mean the marriage between Frightening Wind and that girl?" Long Zhantian shook his head, "Listening to what you just said, I don't think this girl is simple, if she really did it for Frightening Wind, it would be a huge surprise for our Long family, but if she has other purposes, it will be tantamount to luring a wolf into the room." ”
The old lady's shrewd gaze swept to the garden, "I thought so at the beginning. When all this happens, I don't think so. That girl's background is really not simple, with her gaze, she will not pay attention to this little strength of our Long family at all. Maybe all she wanted was the person she wanted. ”
Long Zhantian looked at the guards in the courtyard who kept screaming and his face was full of pain, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, "She married into the Long family, and she will be a member of our Long family in the future." When the time comes, I believe that the threat behind our Long family will be reduced a lot. ”
The old lady also smiled slightly, "We have the same idea, but I am a little worried about the mother of the frightening wind, although she agrees with her mouth, but she is a little unhappy in her heart. In fact, I thought I sympathized with her, she had a son, and if she married a daughter-in-law, she herself would be cooled by the storm. Hey, how can people in the world know the hard work of being a mother, and after a lifetime of hard work, in the end she is not alone. ”
The more Long Zhantian listened, the more puzzled he became, and finally said without being lazy, "This matter is settled, and after a few days, I will pick a good name, and I will marry her into the door." The frightening wind is not the boss, and marrying a wife is a natural thing. She can't take her son with her for the rest of her life. ”
When the old lady heard this, her face was a little unhappy, "Okay, you just came back, just go and take a rest, I will deal with the affairs of the Long family." ”
Long Zhantian sighed, and then walked into the house, as soon as the old lady signaled, the two maids immediately walked in and held her up, "Where is the old lady going?"
"Go to the frightening yard. ”
Shocking Wind was talking to Liu about going to Broken Cloud Valley, when suddenly a maid passed the word that the old lady was coming. Liu hurriedly fought and said to Yumei and Xiaoyu, "Why don't you hurry up and clean up the house, the people around the old lady are sharp-eyed people, if they let them spread this, it won't be a joke." ”
A hint of surprise suddenly flashed on Yumei's face, and Liu's words seemed to be acquiescing to something. Yumei hurriedly helped Xiaoyu clean up, and when they finished cleaning up, the old lady just walked in with the support of more than a dozen mothers-in-law and maids.
"Salute the old lady!" Liu said.
The old lady's face was full of smiles, and she said to the maid beside her, "Help them up quickly, there is no one else here, so there is no need to salute." When his eyes fell on the body of Shocking Wind and Yumei, he couldn't help but nod and said, "Yes, yes! I don't know who you are, if you say it, I can also order someone to give a dowry, how can I say that you are also a young lady from a big family, but you can't do it indecently. That's going to be laughed at. ”
When Yumei heard this, a blush flashed on her handsome face, and she was silent for a long time before whispering, "Actually, my family is not so decent......." ”
At this moment, suddenly several ladies also walked in, and when they saw that the old lady was also there, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so they had to stand aside silently.
The old lady didn't care, and said, "Say it! We won't pass on your background." Listen, if anyone gets the word out about this, I will never spare her. After speaking, he looked at the people around him.
When the people around saw the old lady's words, no one dared not listen. Didn't speak.
Only then did Yumei say reassuringly, "I am from Yanjing, and my father has a bit of an official position in the Lingyue Empire. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked in place, and there was a bit of an official position in Yanjing, maybe not at all! People who could gain a foothold in Yanjing were not simple characters.
Among all of them, the second aunt's face was the most ugly. When she came this time, she was ready to despise the mother and son, and when she heard Yumei's life experience, she had already swallowed all the words she thought of in her stomach.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
In the end, it was the fifth aunt who broke the silence, took Yumei's hand with a smile, and then said, "I'm really envious and frightened, and I don't know what kind of blessing she has cultivated in her life, since she married such a good daughter-in-law." ”
The old lady suddenly laughed, pointed to the fifth aunt and said, "Listen to her words, it is really love-hate and hate-like." If you really envy the frightening wind so much, you will be reincarnated as a man in the next life and see if you can meet her. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, "The fifth wife's mouth is clever enough, but it is still not as clever as the old lady." ”
said that Liu, although he was smiling on his face, his thoughts were no longer here, and Yumei's life experience was completely beyond his expectations. Even if she agrees, her family will not agree, this matter is not as simple as imagined. In fact, she said that she hoped that Frightening Wind could make a difference, but she didn't think so in her heart, she just hoped that Frightening Wind could gain a foothold in the Long family, and then live peacefully with herself.
Everyone stopped smiling and looked at Yumei with a smile in their eyes. Then they all gathered around and chattered and laughed.
Storm stood behind the crowd and couldn't say a word. He is actually very proud in his heart, but he doesn't want it to develop so fast. If he hadn't resisted the pressure of the Long family, I'm afraid he would have fled a long time ago.
The old lady returned to the garden and told Long Zhantian about it, Long Zhantian's face was obviously shocked, and it took a long time before he spoke, "This matter is our recklessness!"
"What do you mean by that?" the old lady looked at him with some concern.
Long Zhantian began to think about it, and after a long time, he said, "It seems that the frightening marriage should be postponed." Don't worry, I won't let Feng'er suffer. I saw that he was capable of doing well, so I found something to do for him. ”
The old lady sighed, "That's the only way to do it." The affairs of our Long family's family are handled by the daughter-in-law of the fifth child, and the outside affairs are handled by the Long family. Let the frightening wind go out to do things, and leave it to the fifth daughter-in-law! Among so many people, I just believe her. ”
"Okay! That's it!" Long Zhantian finished speaking, and turned to leave.
Watching him leave, the old lady motioned to the maid behind her to call the fifth aunt over.
said that in the frightened room, Liu, Yumei, Xiaoyu, and the four of them sat in it with their own hearts. Xiaoyu, who has always loved to talk, also chose to be silent.
Suddenly, the two maids walked in with the fifth aunt in their arms, and when they saw their appearance, they couldn't help but burst out laughing, "It's almost a family, and I can't let go of it like this." His eyes fell on the frightening wind, "Frightening wind, you will soon have a peerless beauty as a daughter-in-law, and you will still look like this." ”
Feng Feng laughed embarrassedly, and hurriedly opened the topic and said, "Fifth aunt, I heard that my cousin has also entered Broken Cloud Valley, congratulations to Fifth Aunt." ”
When she heard this, she suddenly shook her head, "Don't mention him, I feel annoyed when I mention him, I'm already an adult, and I know that I'm idle all day long and don't do business." After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "Look at my surname, I almost forgot my business, and the old lady told me to come and tell the frightening wind, saying that he has good ability, and asked me to find something for you to do." I'm embarrassed about this, the things in the family are done by our daughters-in-law, who are not successful, and a big man can't do it. So, I begged his fifth uncle to find an errand for him to do. ”
Shocking Wind nodded, he was tired of staying in the Long family for a long time, and he was just going to go out for a walk, which was just what he wanted. I just don't know what the errand is.
When Xiaoyu heard this, she snapped her hands and said, "Young master, I will go with you too." Xiaoyu looked at Liu, "Madam, what about you?"
Liu nodded, "Of course I'm following where the frightening wind goes, but I don't know ...... Yumei." ”
A smile flashed in Yumei's eyes, "Of course it's good, I want to go out and walk around too." ”
The fifth aunt laughed, "It's really a family, if you want to go, you can go together." Well, that's it, and now I'll go tell the old lady to go. After speaking, he walked out of the room with the help of the two maids.
Suddenly, a maid who had just helped the fifth aunt out suddenly turned back, put a bag of one hundred taels of silver on the table, and said, "Sixth lady, our lady said, the outside is not better than the inside, and everyone can't take care of it, so this silver will be given to you for your usual expenses, and as for the monthly money every month, someone will be sent over on time." ”
Liu looked at the bag of silver on the table, couldn't help but feel a little sad, after returning to the Long family, there was the favor of the old lady, on the surface of the scenery, but in fact it was still a bit hard, a month's monthly money, not enough money for the usual gifts. After thinking about it, he said to the maid, "You go back and tell your wife, and say that I will pay her back the money." ”
The maids who followed the fifth aunt, each of them was not simple, smiled slightly, and said, "The sixth lady is a little out of sight, when there is no difficulty, everyone should help each other, that is how it should be." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
As soon as he mentioned the money, he suddenly thought that the wolf tooth still owed him 100,000 taels of silver. I will go out in a few days, and I must get back the 100,000 taels of silver today. After thinking about it, he walked straight out of the yard and walked towards the courtyard of the wolf's teeth. I had just walked outside the courtyard of the dragon's tooth when I saw him coming towards him. As soon as he saw the frightening wind, he knew that he was here to collect debts, and when he turned around, he ran wildly.
As soon as he met him, he ran away, he didn't want to repay his debts! No, he was short of money now? Why should he get it back. After thinking about it, I immediately followed.
The dragon teeth in front of him caught up with the frightened wind, and their speed couldn't help but speed up a lot.
The maids and guards in the courtyard couldn't help but show a puzzled look on their faces when they saw that the frightening wind was chasing the dragon's teeth, among the younger generation of the Long family, the dragon's teeth were not in their eyes, and they would be chased by the frightening wind if they didn't arrive first, just like a mouse meeting a cat, that speed, like running for their lives.
When Wolf Fang saw that the maids and guards around him were looking at him with strange eyes, his face couldn't help but blush, and he stopped in embarrassment, thinking about how high-spirited he was at the beginning, but he didn't expect that since he was being chased, he had to flee without his life. 100,000 taels of silver, that's what I saved after ten years of hard work. As soon as I thought of this, I didn't care if I had face or not, so I ran away.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him, and when he saw that it was Yumei, he couldn't help but stand.
The frightening wind behind chased after him, looked at the dragon's teeth with a smile, and said, "Cousin, you are not your enemy, why do you want to run so fast!"
Of course you are my enemy, you cheated me out of 100,000 taels of silver, do you want me to treat you as a benefactor? Long Ya looked at the frightened wind unhappily, and then looked at Yumei again, "I will definitely pay back the money, but not today." The IOU also does not indicate when it will be returned. ”
Shocking Wind suddenly remembered the contents of the IOU, and began to regret a little why he had been carried away by happiness in the first place. Looking at the figure of the dragon's tooth swaggering away, the wind was so frightened that his teeth itched. But there is no way, just now he is the uncle, he is the grandson. Now he is the uncle, and he is the grandson.
Yumei suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes and said with a smile, "How did he owe you money?"
The frightened wind whispered in her ear to tell the story of the matter, Yumei couldn't help laughing when she heard it, "You are ill-gotten gains." I can only ask him for it in private. ”
"What ill-gotten gains? Is it his righteous gains, and since he owes me, of course he must return them. But if he keeps playing tricks like this....... ”
A smug smile appeared on Yumei's handsome face, "This matter is very simple, as long as the time comes, you can get the 100,000 taels of silver." It's just that you have to take advantage of the Long family. ”
A hint of surprise flashed on his frightened face, but he quickly became disappointed, if Long Zhantian knew about this, he would not be able to get back the 100,000 taels of silver.
"Don't worry! Dragon Tooth is the kind of person who has an extremely good face, even if he loses the 100,000 taels of silver, he will save his face, and he will not tell anyone about it. Yumei looked at the frightened wind, and looked at him with some hatred, "Are you too greedy for money? Isn't it just a hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Shocking Wind smiled bitterly, "You don't know how poor I am now. ”
Frightening Wind and Yumei had just returned to the garden, when suddenly a maid walked in and said respectfully, "Young Master Frightening Wind, Young Master Dragontooth said that he wanted to invite you to a meal." ”
His face was full of anger, he was ostensibly inviting himself to dinner, but in fact he wanted to take this opportunity to taunt himself, "Don't go!
Yumei suddenly winked at him, then smiled slightly, and said, "Since it is the young master of the dragon tooth who wants to invite, how can we not go?
Could this be the opportunity she was talking about, but in her own opinion, it didn't seem like an opportunity, since she was so sure, she would listen to her.
Yumei took the maid's hand up and asked in a low voice, "What's your name?"
The maid's face was full of flattery, and it took a long time for her to react and reply, "My name is Xiaomei!"
Shocking Wind looked at her with doubts in her eyes, wondering what the hell she was up to.
Welcome Building. It is the largest restaurant in Wolf City, and the people who eat here are all children of rich families.
Frightening Wind and Yumei just appeared, and dozens of hot eyes swept over. Seeing that the eyes of the frightened wind were full of jealousy and hatred, I wanted to slap him to death.
Frightened Wind was looked at by so many eyes full of hatred and jealousy, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help but break out. Turning his head and glancing at Yumei beside him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he used to think that there was a beautiful old woman with a lot of face around her, but now she suddenly found that there were a lot of troublesome things.
Dragon Tooth looked at Frightening Wind and Yumei with a smile on his face, "Please take a seat, you're welcome." Then he turned back to the shopkeeper and said, "Bring up the best and most expensive dishes you have here, and I will treat you today." ”
The frightening wind really wanted to beat him up, and the wine and food on this table were only a hundred taels of silver at most, which was a drop in the bucket compared to the two hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Then you're welcome. Yumei held down the frightening wind that was about to make a move, and then said with a smile on her face, "Frightening wind, you can remember what I just told you." ”
Storm nodded, "Remember." ”
Yumei stood up and said with a smile, "You guys can have a good time here! ”|
Dragontooth was stunned for a moment and said, "Since you are leaving, I will not keep you." ”
After Yumei left, the frightening wind continued to pour stuffy wine into his stomach, and the two jars of wine all entered his stomach in a blink of an eye, and the dishes on the table did not move a single chopstick.
Although the dragon's teeth were not drunk, their faces were already flushed.
The restaurant is built facing the river, which is not a docile river, and although it is early spring, the river is still turbulent. I heard that many people fell into it because of a mistake, and they have not found their bodies until now.
The frightening wind and the dragon's teeth walked by the river one after the other. Walking behind, the frightening wind suddenly threw up on the riverbank, and the dragon tooth glanced back, and didn't care, standing in front and waiting for him, but after waiting for about half a pillar of incense, he didn't see the frightening wind coming up, and he couldn't help but look back, this look, so that the dragon tooth couldn't help but be stunned, and his face was full of horror. He couldn't have fallen into the river, did he?
The dragon tooth searched for a whole half a day, but did not see the figure of the frightened wind, and when it was dark, he returned to the dragon's house and asked the maids, who told him that the frightened wind had been out all day and had not returned. This time the dragon tooth was completely panicked, Yumei saw the frightening wind drinking with her, and she would definitely not let her go if the frightening wind was gone.
Just when he returned to the room with anxiety in his heart, he suddenly remembered the voice of a maid outside, "Young Master Longya, the old lady wants to see you." ”
Could it be that Yumei has already sued the old lady?
When he walked to the old lady's courtyard, he couldn't help but feel even more worried, because all the people in the Long family were here, even Long Zhantian.
The old lady and Long Zhantian's faces were full of anger, and when they saw the dragon tooth coming in, they suddenly opened their mouths and scolded, "Dragon tooth, you said, did you ask the frightening wind to go out for a drink today." ”
The dragon's eyes looked at Yumei and the maid named Xiaomei behind her, and knew that she couldn't lie, so she had to confess truthfully.
Yumei suddenly stood up, and said with a sad face, "Old lady, please make the decision for us!" Dragon Tooth He owes 100,000 taels of silver to the storm, and he didn't pay it back when the storm asked him several times, and today the storm also went to ask him for the silver. I didn't expect him to have murderous intent. ”
As soon as these words came out, Long Ya was completely stunned, today I originally wanted to taunt the storm, but I didn't expect that since I had inexplicably carried a murder charge.
Long Zhantian's face was full of anger, "Paying back debts, that's a matter of course, for the sake of 100,000 taels of silver, can you kill your cousin? ”
The old lady's face was also full of anger, "Come on, you didn't kill him just because you lost to him in that duel." ”
The dragon's face turned pale, "Please make it clear to the old lady, I don't have any intention of killing him at all." After saying that, he told the whole story of how he invited the frightening wind to dinner, and how he got to the river.
Long Zhantian has reached the extreme, and what he hates most in his life is cannibalism. didn't give Dragon Tooth a chance to explain at all, "Come on, put him in prison, and inquire slowly." ”
Long Ya kept looking at Long San for help, Long San looked at Long Ya like this, angry and ruthless, he wanted to defend him, but when he saw that Long Zhantian was on fire, he didn't dare to speak. I had to watch the dragon's teeth being put in prison.
Yumei saw that the dragon tooth was imprisoned, and her face deliberately pretended to be in pain, "I don't care about 100,000 taels of silver, what I care about is the wind, as long as he is safe and sound, it......'s fine." ”
Long San suddenly stood up and said with a complicated face, "Don't worry, I will send someone to you right away for the 100,000 taels of silver." As for the frightening wind, if you are really killed by the dragon's teeth, I will definitely give you an explanation and kill the rebel with my own hands. ”
Sure enough, as Long San said, as soon as she returned to the courtyard, someone sent 100,000 taels of silver.
Liu Shi looked at the silver and couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
Yumei recounted what had just happened. As soon as the words fell, Liu's face instantly turned as pale as a blank piece of paper, and he kept muttering, "Why is he so stupid, he lost his surname for 100,000 taels of silver." ”
When Yumei saw it, she panicked, and hurriedly comforted, "Madame, don't worry, he is a blessed person, he will be fine." ”
Hearing Yumei say this, her face slowly became better.
