Chapter 19: At that time
The family is happy and the family is sad, Sun Ming is laughing here, and everyone is like being beaten with chicken blood.
And Sun Mansion is lifeless, after half a month, today's cronies have returned, they previously took Wei Zhou's handwritten letter to Youzhou Taishou Liu Yu for help, but he refused.
We mentioned before that Liu Yu and Zhou Tao are world friends, he directly withheld Wei Zhou's letters, and his cronies had no choice but to return to Luoyang to find Wei Zhou, Liu Yu didn't buy his account, and Wei Zhou was helpless, so he could only write two family letters for his cronies to bring back.
One is for Wei's, and the other is for Sun Wuji.
The letter to Wei's probably means "Brother told you not to marry this poor boy at the beginning, you didn't listen, and went to live so far away, and now Li'er has an accident, and I can't reach it, so if you can't do it, you will go back to Luoyang." ”
Of course, the letter to Sun Wuji scolded him for being ruthless and unjust, and he didn't even save his own son, and asked Sun Wuji to go to Luoyang to see him.
The next day, Wei Shi came to the outside of Hidden Dragon Village, sat in the carriage and never had the courage to get down, she put a small box of gold on the car, came to Sun Ming to intercede, of course she also heard about Sun Ming's development deeds for most of the year.
She was more disdainful at first, and in her eyes, Sun Ming was still the little ghost who bowed his head and scolded her all day long.
She felt that her son was just an opportunity, and she had also spent money to buy a career for Sun Li, but she could only buy a substitute, that is, where there was a vacancy, she would replace him.
It wasn't until Sun Ming was accepted as a righteous son by Zhou Tao that she realized that Sun Ming had climbed too high unconsciously.
So much so that now there are rumors of Sun Ming circulating in Zhuo County, "The gentleman declares virtue and conducts, and the adult should be righteous, and if you want to ask who is the best, it should be Sun Junyi." ’
The word "adult" also means honorific title of high morality.
Thinking that he drove their mother and son away, but now he wants to beg in a low voice, and he hesitated for a long time between face and son, Wei still chose his son after all.
Accompanied by the maidservant, she came to the gate of the village and knocked on the door.
The one who opened the door for her two times was the former doorman of the Sun Mansion, Zhongxi, and when Wei saw that it was an acquaintance, he barely squeezed out a smile on his face, and explained his intention.
Now only the Li family and a few servants are in the village, Sun Ming has not returned outside, and he has also sternly explained the safety problem.
Of course, Zhong Xi knew the relationship between Wei and Sun Ming, coupled with Sun Li's matter, Zhong Xi was also in a dilemma for a while, and he didn't know whether to report Li or expel Wei directly.
If the Wei family came in and made a cold trick to hurt the Li family, then he would be forced to take the blame.
Zhong Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally said firmly, "I'm sorry, eldest lady, my young master has explained that I won't let others enter the village indiscriminately, so I can't inform you below." ”
After that, he hung Wei Shi and closed the door alone, and Wei Shi, who ate the closed door, was stunned all of a sudden.
After a while, she suddenly returned to her domineering appearance, and was about to have a seizure, but she couldn't help it when she thought about it.
swallowed this evil breath stiffly, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "What a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, help me back to the carriage, and we will wait in the carriage." ”
Sun Ming was at Liu Cheng's house at this time, after the autumn harvest, after deducting the tenant farmer's part and the next year's backup, Sun Ming, a big landowner, pocketed tens of thousands of yuan by himself, and now he has a lot of money, of course, he will pay back the money first.
In the past, ordinary people used copper money, but now Sun Ming is also a rich man with a lot of money.
Of course Liu Cheng refused to accept it, Sun Ming saw that he couldn't resist him, so he gave up, but he also refused Liu Cheng's lunch, and he had to pay back other people's money.
Sure enough, there were people who lent him money, but nine times out of ten they refused to accept it, of course Sun Ming also knew the reason, not only did he not pay back the money after shopping around, but others also tried their best to send things to Sun Ming.
By the time Sun Ming returned to Zhuang with the things sent by others, Wei had been waiting at the door for almost two hours, and he had cursed Sun Ming and the blind doorman countless times in his heart.
As soon as Sun Ming returned to the gate of the village, he noticed Wei's carriage, he frowned, did not say anything, turned around and knocked on the door, and the first thing he said when he saw Zhongxi was "Manren, did the shrew come to the village?" ”
Zhong Xi said, "No, young master, she came to call the door, but I didn't let her in." ”
Sun Ming patted him on the shoulder and smiled with relief, "You are a very competent guard, the young master is rich now, and I will give you some extra wages." ”
Loyal to Xi Daxi, at this moment, Wei also got off the carriage and walked towards Sun Ming.
Sun Ming turned around and watched Wei Shi come step by step with an indifferent look in his eyes, until Wei Shi walked in front of him, he still didn't say a word, didn't move a finger.
Generally, the late students in the family have to take the initiative to greet the elders when they see them, but obviously Wei's is not in the ranks of the elders.
Wei gritted his teeth, and said with a smile on his face, "Junyi, I haven't seen you for a long time, my aunt misses you so much, my aunt has already told your father that the man is ambitious in all directions, and he wants you to go alone, and now he sees that you are quite meritorious, and the eldest mother is also very relieved." ”
In the face of Wei's ridicule, Sun Ming was unmoved, and still said coldly, "Auntie has nothing important, Junyi will go in." ”
Wei Shi felt that his face was hot, once upon a time he had been insulted like this, and seeing that Sun Ming's attitude was so cold, he no longer talked about it, so as not to be even more embarrassed.
Wei endured the anger in his heart, and said straight to the point, "Junyi, you see that you have been in the same family for more than ten years, let your brother go, the eldest lady has a little gold here, and the right to be the eldest lady will compensate you." ”
"Auntie is so exalted to me, I still remember the night you drove us away, I won't talk about ugly words, I can only say that I can't do anything about Sun Li."
"You go and tell that Wei Zhou, sooner or later, my Sun Ming will uproot your entire family."
After Sun Ming finished speaking, he asked Zhong Xi to close the door and leave Wei outside again, Sun Ming was too lazy to care about her anymore.
Wei Shi was stunned in place, and the maid next to her did not respond to the call, at this time she felt that the world was spinning, the world had changed, she had become stranger, and now she was not even qualified to enter other people's doors.
Finally, under the call of the maid, Wei Shi recovered his thoughts, looked at the maid blankly, and spit out for a long time, "Let's go." ”
Wei Shi became depressed from then on, and she didn't even go to see the execution of her son Sun Li.
Later, within a few months, she returned to her mother's house in Luoyang with the money.
Sun Ming himself was strange, he thought that he would taunt Wei Shi fiercely, but he was not interested in being arrogant to a woman, it may be that encounter on the line of life and death made Sun Ming a little calmer.
It's not that he will let go of the Wei family, but he feels that revenge is revenge, and there is no need to insult a woman again, otherwise what is the difference between himself and her.
Waiting for Zhongxi to close the door, Sun Ming turned his head and said, "Manren, you have worked hard during this time, and you have to do even small things such as opening the door, wait until I find a few reliable guards, and then send them over to listen to your dispatch, there is no need to tell my mother about Wei's affairs, she is a soft-hearted." ”
Zhong Xi replied, "Yes, thank you for the young master's trust, Xi will definitely protect the safety of his wife." ”
At this time, the Li family also walked out of the hall, and just now the maidservant had already informed Sun Ming that he was back, and the Li family called Sun Ming to the hall.
looked at Sun Ming with a smile on his face, "Junyi, you are seventeen years old this year, it's time to consider marrying a daughter-in-law first, yesterday the wife in charge came to the house as a guest, saying that her brother and daughter have just entered the jasper years, and they are slender and beautiful, and they are very virtuous." ”
Sun Ming has no such thoughts now, the Yellow Turban Uprising is coming, and he can't wait to break himself apart and use "Mother, the child is still young, and I want to put my mind on official business." ”
Li Shirao didn't let Sun Ming go, and he kept persuading, but suddenly Sun Ming thought about it, slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right, mother, you can pull the red line for Manren or Li Meng and others." ”
Sun Ming summoned Li Meng and Zhong Xi, and said with a smile, "You are not married yet, how about letting my mother introduce you to a daughter-in-law." ”
Like Li Meng's refugees, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law in troubled times.
Sun Ming looked at Zhong Xi, who knew that Zhong Xi, an honest man, actually blushed rarely, and said hesitantly that he obeyed the arrangement of the young master and his wife.
And Tie Hanhan Li Meng raised his arm, pointed to the person behind the Li family and said, "The owner, I already have it, just reward Cui'er to me." ”
Sun Ming's eyes widened, and he saw Cui'er covering her face with a handkerchief and standing with her head down.
Sun Ming was stunned for a while, but Li Shi seemed to have known it for a long time, revealing a meaningful laugh, "Look at it, Li Meng is better than you." ”
Sun Ming went up and poked Li Meng a few times, "Okay, you kid, you're actually faster than me, go, go to the camp." ”
