Chapter 218: I Thought You Were Stronger
"Forget it, your account, the lower officials can't manage it, so they can only return to the Queen Mother. As for the two adults, if you are not filial, don't go out these days. Cheng Zhuangyuan, the emperor didn't say it, the lower officials should also put their beaks, and the lower officials will leave." Zhang Qian didn't need the old man to reply, he bowed his hand to the old man, and let the old lady take away the account books of the past forty years, and then sent Sun Gonggong and the account books away. In fact, everyone understands that people don't check accounts, people look at this person's heart.
The fifth young master looked back at his parents, "What the hell is going on? Zhang Hou is so angry? Also, why did you suddenly find out about your grandmother's dowry?"
The old lady got up by himself and slowly went back to his courtyard, he was very tired now. He knows one thing very well, the Cheng family is finished, even if the three sons who are outside temporarily keep their official positions, but the Cheng family's family style is over.
Two unfilial sons, a man who plotted to steal his wife's dowry and was unwilling to raise a daughter, will anyone in the world respect him? Even if the emperor no longer blames, but the rumors are like knives, and it is difficult for the Cheng family to turn over.
"Grandfather!" The old man lay down in a daze, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he was pushed awake.
"What's wrong?" The old man was a little thirsty and said hoarsely.
"The outsiders withdrew a little, and the grandson asked, and the grandson and you can still come and go. No one else can come and go freely." The fifth young master helped the old man sit up, but he was not the one who could serve people, and he didn't know that what his grandfather needed most now was a glass of water.
"How are you doing?" The old man didn't bother to say anything, and asked directly.
"Grandson thought, why don't you go and ask the little aunt! After all, the county lord wants to give face to the little aunt." The fifth young master hesitated for a moment, but still said softly.
"Do you think your grandfather and your parents are right?" The old man's eyes were half-closed, and he thought about it carefully, and his grandson had never mentioned the old lady since he came back.
"The grandson is a junior, and he doesn't dare to say anything about the elders." The fifth young master hesitated for a moment and said softly.
"Ask her for what? What do you want?" The old man moved his neck and smiled. Go to the sixth, and then what? There's always a demand, right? He now wants to hear what the results of the discussion with his children and grandchildren have been for a long time.
"It's not good for grandmother to be in someone else's house." The fifth young master hesitated for a long time before whispering.
"What do you think?" The old man looked at his grandson, this is the grandson he brought up hand in hand, and he personally brought him to meet the famous teacher, the number of Confucians in Beijing, he has seen them all at once, and he has been instructed. How many people told him at the beginning that this champion was given to him, and he was not wronged. This is his pride. Now he wanted to know what this leader of the third generation of the Cheng family would think.
"When the grandmother comes back, the grandson will take care of it himself." Lao Wu tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"How do you take care of it? Can you wipe her yourself or give her medicine yourself? The so-called personal is just to tell your subordinates to take good care of the old lady, and then do whatever you have to do?" The old lady sneered and yelled outside, "What about people?"
There were footsteps outside, and soon a girl came in, her face was still a little flustered, she looked left and right, and saluted, "Old lady!"
"What about people?" This is not the person that the old lady is used to.
"Some of the old people in the palace have been taken to the criminal department, and the emperor mainly wants to investigate the poisoning of the old lady." The fifth young master hurriedly supported the old man, thought about it, thought about it or said, "Now I have to bring my grandmother back, if my grandmother wakes up, my grandmother will not let the Cheng family be so embarrassed."
The old man looked at this grandson for a while, "So this is what you think, get the old lady back, you are considered dead, she will not embarrass the Cheng family, even if she is embarrassed for a lifetime."
"Grandfather!" The fifth young master was busy kneeling, but he couldn't retreat at this time. The family's century-old reputation, he can't just fall like this. Even if it doesn't fall on your own hands.
"Do what you want!" The old man smiled bitterly and looked back at the confused girl, "Pour me a glass of water."
Yahuan hurriedly went to the table to pour the cold tea in the tea basket and served it to the old man. The old man took a sip, glanced at the man, didn't speak, and drank slowly.
"If you go to ......" The fifth young master still wanted to persuade the old man to go to the Lu family by himself, and it was still a question of whether the Lu family let him in. But old
The master went in person, and he should grasp it a little bigger.
"Your uncle and father have been written on the holy decree, saying that they are not filial. You see what that means, right?" The old man didn't want to see his grandson, but he still had to say what he had to say.
"My grandson knows, but now, I can't sit still." The fifth young master had a bitter face, the old man's meaning was very clear, you didn't joke, your uncle and father were ironclad unfilial sons. But there are so many in the family, it's a family.
"If you want to try, try it yourself!" The old man forgot it, he didn't bother to say anything more.
"So you still don't say anything." The fifth young master was very angry and stood up reluctantly.
"What do you want me to say?" The old man looked up at his grandson, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Whatever you say, it's better than not saying anything like you are now." The fifth young master wanted to jump to his feet, "It's been forty years, have you taken your grandmother and little aunt to heart? If you take them to heart, can they not take them into account, father? They're just looking at you. Now you blame them, and they are the ones who bear the consequences."
"Very well, well said." The old man sat and thought about it, and nodded with a wry smile, "So it's all my fault, so I still don't say anything, you can do whatever you want."
The fifth young master was angry, and felt that the old man really couldn't get in the oil and salt. Brush your sleeves and leave.
The old man sat in his room in a daze, and no one came in one night. No one even brought in dinner, but he didn't speak, and just stayed like that.
The fifth young master hurriedly went out of the house and went to the Lu family, and the Lu family received a letter, and the Cheng family came to report directly to Lu Xian, and no one was allowed to put it in the house.
Soon, Lu Xian came out, looked at the fifth young master, and thought, "Let's go!"
"Little uncle, I want to meet my little aunt." The fifth young master stood still and didn't move, he knew that Lu Xian must take him away from the Lu family, and then even if there was a fuss, it would not affect the sixth lady inside.
"I thought you would be better than the rest of the Cheng family, but it's really not a family, and you don't enter a family." Lu Xian walked out with his hands behind his back. He doesn't care if he goes or not, he's going to go anyway.
The door of the Lu family closed slowly, as if he hadn't seen the fifth young master. Anyway, we won't open the door, you can shout casually, the courtyard of the Lu family is deep, and I don't dare to say that I can't hear the battle outside the door. But with the voice of the fifth young master, it must not be able to reach the back.
"Little uncle." The fifth young master had no choice but to run to catch up with Lu Xian in front.
