Chapter 297: Olive Branch
Confession banquet.
The guests have almost arrived, and the serious mountain opens.
"Thank you for coming to our Yan family's wedding banquet, I believe everyone has heard about it recently, and my son who is away from home has come back."
"This is my son, Yan Shoucheng, and the new young head of the Yan family. This child is young, has been growing up in the outside world, and has little experience in all aspects, so please take care of him in the future. ”
The attitude of the serious mountain determines the status of Yan Shoucheng, no matter what the people present think in their hearts, what they say is good things.
After the introduction of Yan Shoucheng by Serious Mountain, the opening was over, and the guests scattered around, and Serious Mountain took Yan Shoucheng to know people.
Yan Shoucheng went to a place where men gathered, where Bai Sujuan was, and where women also got together.
Su Ji followed one step behind Bai Sujuan, watching Bai Sujuan communicate with those women.
Bai Sujuan promised to help Su Qi deal with the banquet, but it didn't mean that she and Su Qi could get along closely.
So at the banquet, Bai Sujuan didn't introduce too much to Su Qi.
Bai Sujuan's behavior fell in the eyes of others, and they all thought that she didn't want to see her stepson's daughter-in-law.
With this thought, it is natural to earn money when you speak.
The people surrounding Bai Sujuan, at first, the topic was still on the new daughter-in-law, but soon turned to Su Qi.
The women of these big families have lived in seclusion since birth, and the men still have the opportunity to go out and practice, but the women can only stay here.
That being the case, it didn't take long for someone to find an entry point to the topic.
"You are Yan Shoucheng's daughter-in-law, what do you call it?"
Su Ji smiled indifferently: "My name is Su Ji, just call me Xiao Su." ”
"Xiao Su, right, I heard that you came from outside, you have been here for many days, do you think which is better, seclusion or outside?"
Ordinary people in the outside world do not know the existence of the hermitage, and the people in the hermit feel that they are superior to others and look down on the people outside.
This problem is obviously a pitfall.
If Su Qi said that it was good outside, some people would naturally sarcastically say that it was good outside, so why not stay outside. If the outside is not good, those people will also think that she is short-sighted and has fallen in love with Yan Shoucheng's identity.
Thinking of the stakes, Su Ji replied lightly: "The environment here is good, but it is not as rich as the outside world. ”
Su Qi's voice fell, and he saw the surprise in the eyes of this group of ladies.
"Why don't you do it?"
"We have beautiful mountains and rivers here, and our life is rich, but people outside are still living a life of eating bran and eating the last meal."
After that, he looked at Su Qi with disgust: "You haven't experienced the life of a big family yet, right?" ”
There are many people in a big family, and people's hearts are complicated.
Su Ji has never experienced the life of a big family, and it sounds like a simple show-off, but in fact, he thinks deeply.
As the identity of the young head of the Yan family, in the backyard of the Yan family, it is a role that is said to be the same, for the sake of this identity, Su Ji will not be mistreated.
And now Su Ji has not received preferential treatment in the Yan family, which shows that she is not treated by the Yan family.
It's been so long since I've been in the door, I can't even stand firm, and the women around me already regard Su Qi as a cousin.
"Mrs. Yan, the child of the head of the Yan family is also your child, his daughter-in-law is too ignorant, she still has to teach her well."
"The Yan family is a big family, if you come from a small place like yours, you should watch more and learn more." ”
"That's it, I heard that she still wants to take care of the engagement banquet alone, to be honest, if I hadn't heard that Mrs. Yan came forward to check it later, I probably wouldn't have come."
The few people who spoke were not the ladies of the lineage, but they had some status in their respective families.
The ridicule in the words of several people made the people around them despise Su Qi.
Su Qi's face was as usual, and he asked rhetorically: "I and several ladies are also seeing you for the first time, why are you so hostile to me?" ”
"The question is what you asked, and I just answered truthfully, why are the people of your big family so scheming? Bullying me from outside? ”
"The seclusion and the outside world do not interfere with each other, but the ladies may also be closed. It's really not as beautiful as the secluded place. But it has long passed the days of eating bran and eating vegetables, starving and feasting. ”
"You think you are superior, but you are short-sighted. Look at your families, apart from the cultivation ability brought by their talents, what else is worth showing off. ”
"Have you ever seen a TV? Do you know about radio? Have you ever sat in a car? Big Brother, have you used it? ”
The retreat is set up on the mountain, and there is no interference with the outside world, and there is no communication at all, so that every household still uses the most primitive candles.
And electromagnetic signals do not exist, so naturally there is no need for televisions, tape recorders, and big brothers.
Cars as a means of transportation are also not available here at all.
Su Ji's rebuttal was beyond the scope of these noble ladies' cognition.
I didn't understand, but the momentum couldn't be vain, and I said with a hard breath: "These things, it's not that we don't use them, it's that we don't have them rare, that is, you hillbillies who haven't seen anything will like it." ”
Never wake up someone who pretends to be asleep.
Su Qi sneered, these people who have sealed themselves in the enchantment are not people who pretend to be asleep.
No wonder, now there is a crisis here.
Su Ji disdained to argue with them, stood beside Bai Sujuan, and stopped talking.
Bai Sujuan was surprised that Su Qi did not fall into disadvantage in front of several people, and she was also interested in what Su Qi said.
Just ignored it, Bai Sujuan wanted to see how capable Su Ji was, but now that she saw the cancellation, Bai Sujuan didn't stand idly by.
Clearing her throat, Bai Sujuan said: "You are right, Shoucheng is the son of Chongshan, my stepson, and the hope of the Yan family, and I have to take on the responsibility of raising him." ”
"Su Qi and Shoucheng are a young couple, and the relationship between the two is good, that is, Su Qi is low-key. Today's recognition banquet was organized by Su Qi, and I just pointed out two sentences. ”
"I'm old and I don't have many opportunities to go out in the future, so I asked Su Ji to participate on my behalf. She represents my face, and I ask for your kind attention in the future. ”
Bai Sujuan's opening made the faces of the few people who had just spoken out of ridicule a little unbearable.
The young couple, from Bai Sujuan's mouth, means that Su Qi and Yan Shoucheng have a good relationship.
Several people also realized that the run just now offended Su Ji and indirectly offended Yan Shoucheng.
The interests are moving, and the person who has always been high in the sky, considering the consequences of offending Su Ji, instantly changed his face.
"You are the one who organized this confession banquet? Look at my eyes, I'm old, but I can't see things clearly. This recognition banquet is properly organized, you are young and promising. ”
A recognition banquet, can still be matched with young and promising, Su Qi twitched the corner of his mouth and forcibly held back a smile.
"Hey, you're right, we're lonely, my knowledge of the outside is still many years ago, the brother who went out to practice at home said that the people outside are still gnawing on tree bark because they have nothing to eat, it's really pitiful."
"Hey, if it weren't for the rules of non-interference between the hermitage and the outside world, we would have to go out and see the outside world."
Several people changed their tone, from the ridicule just now, to praise in an instant, Su Qi smiled lightly, but made the people around him look at him twice.
There were a lot of people who came to the banquet, and Su Ji would not stop here, and after a simple greeting, Su Ji turned his head to deal with the others.
After chatting with everyone, Su Ji found an open space and prepared to take a breath.
It's just that I haven't been there for a few minutes when I see someone coming out of the shadows.
Su Ji actually doesn't like to get along with strangers. But sometimes because of the influence of the situation, I have to make a false deal with those people.
At the moment, there is only himself here, and Su Ji doesn't have to do a face-saving project, so he raises his feet and prepares to leave and rest in another place.
As soon as Su Ji's body moved, the man spoke: "Why did Mrs. Yan see me running, could it be that there is something on my face that scares Mrs. Yan?" ”
Su Ji was speechless.
The man was unrelenting: "Or do you like to treat the young lady differently and don't look down on me as a person?" ”
Su Qi gritted his teeth: "Oh, I have bad eyes, I didn't see anyone just now." ”
It's too much for such a big person to say that he didn't see it.
However, the man was not angry, and reported to his family: "Below is Ming Shaojing, the young head of the Ming family, and I am fortunate to know Mrs. ”
The young head of the Ming family?
Su Qi looked at the person in front of him.
Yushu Linfeng is Lao Ou's introduction to Ming Shaojing in the information.
But this man does deserve the word.
But this man's heart is not as beautiful as his face.
When Su Ji checked the information, he found that many major events in the hermitage were inseparable from him.
Su Qi raised his vigilance and asked, "The young master doesn't go to the banquet hall in front, what are you doing here?" ”
"Wait for the rabbit."
Ming Shaojing pretended to be mysterious.
Su Ji raised his eyebrows, could it be that this person was waiting for himself.
Waiting for the rabbit? It's an interesting word, is it to think of yourself as a hunter, to treat her as a prey? Where did he get the courage? Who gave him confidence?
What is in this person's mind.
Su Qi's probing gaze looked at Ming Shaojing.
opened his mouth and asked: "There are no plants in this place, and there are no rabbits, so the head of the Ming Shao family should not be joking." ”
Ming Shaojing smiled and explained, "I just happened to hear the young lady's words, and I feel that I have benefited a lot. But in front of so many people, it was not appropriate for me to ask my wife to answer my questions, so I could only stand in this place and try my luck. It's also my fate, so I'm not going to wait. ”
Su Qi recalled that when he was dealing with the ladies of various families, he had never seen Ming Shaojing, when did this person listen to his conversation.
Seeing Su Qi's suspicions, Ming Shaojing didn't beat around the bush: "Just now Mrs. said that the people in the hermitage are lonely and unheard, and I feel the same way." How many years have the dynasties been dead, and the people who claim to be of the family still retain the practices of the feudal society, and they are ignorant and pitiful. ”
Su Qi came to live here for a while, and he also discovered the problems of these people, who were ignorant and self-aware, ignorant and arrogant.
But that's not something she can question right now.
And Ming Shaojing had this idea, which made Su Qi a little curious.
Su Qi said: "They are also restricted, how can they know their gaps if they don't have the outside world." ”
Ming Shaojing heard this, and said disdainfully: "Why haven't they seen it, every year the family will let people go out to practice, just to let them understand the situation of the current era, learn from experience, and come back to revitalize the family." ”
"It's a pity that the good intentions of the ancestors have been let down by them. Here, they come to reach out for food to open their mouths, out of the outside, but they need to be self-sufficient, after a long time, naturally can't stand the suffering outside, and when the time comes, they all run back in disgrace. ”
"It's obviously a group of people who are easy and hardworking, and when they come back, they have to brag about how powerful they are, and in the end, they are still showing off their power in the family, they are all a bunch of waste."
The look on Ming Shaojing's face could tell his disdain for the people in the hermitage.
Su Ji couldn't speak, so he stood aside silently.
When Ming Shaojing's mood stabilized, he saw Su Qi motionless, and smiled: "Scared you?" I'm just a little straight, jealous and hateful, and I can't get used to what some people do. ”
Su Ji shook his head: "No, there are indeed better places in the hermitage than outside, and for those who are outcast, it is also considered a hometown, homesickness is inevitable, and it is normal to come back after a long time of traveling." ”
Su Qi's answer was not as good as Ming Shaojing's intentions.
He asked, "Hometown? The young lady is a person from the outside world, and the outside world is your hometown, you have been here for so long, don't you miss your hometown outside? ”
Su Qi lowered his head: "Where does a woman have a hometown, marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, Yan Shoucheng chose to be here, this is my home, I have no other ideas." ”
"Really, not?" Ming Shaojing asked rhetorically: "If you really don't have it, why don't you learn from those ladies who are hypocritical, and they will be sarcastic." ”
"As for people, they always like to lie to themselves, and after a long time, they take it seriously. As a bystander, I will give you a hint that you can't let go of everything outside. ”
Su Qi seemed to understand Ming Shaojing's thoughts.
From the information obtained before, Su Qi and Yan Shoucheng discussed.
Although the decline of the Yan family is due to family infighting, it is also indispensable to be fueled by outsiders. And Yan Wenxu's death is a long-planned conspiracy.
And with Ming Shaojing's words today, Su Qi understood what the reason for this crisis in the hermitage was.
I have seen the bigger world before I know my own shortcomings. Some people will see the shortcomings and make progress in their ideas, while others will be accustomed to resting on their laurels and ignoring them.
And the Yan family, Yan Wenxu is the representative of feudalism, they are obsessed with fighting for power and profit, and they can't see their current backwardness at all.
Ming Shaojing is a representative of reform, he has ambitions, he is not willing to live forever in this small place, he also wants to go outside to see, and wants to let the hermitage have the same status as the outside world.
So, there will be a big storm in the hermitage.
Su Qi figured this out and looked at Ming Shaojing seriously: "I don't know what the master of the Ming Shao family has?" It also means that I should study hard. ”
