Chapter 45: Shrewdness and Thoughtfulness
You Zheng is very good, You Shunyan, who branched out from the great-grandfather of the You family, is now the most powerful branch of the entire You family, and he is not good at saying anything about the position as the head of the You family, so he let You Xi face it personally, that is, You Xi really said something arrogant when he rejected You Shunyan, and afterwards he could make up that it was a child who was ignorant.
"Shun Yan, you wait a minute, my Ah Xi is in the kitchen, I'll let Ah Yan go to the kitchen and call Ah Xi."
When You Yan heard You Zhengming's words, he was crooked, obviously he didn't want to face You Xi, but You Zhengming threw a knife eye at him, he wilted, and he slipped to the kitchen to find You Xi.
At this time, Youxi and her family were gathering together, talking and laughing to eat lunch, and no one went to join in the excitement of Youxi's family.
Aunt Yumai's mother Mo said, "The girl slept well today, she missed the breakfast, and now she is only afraid that she will be hungry, so she will eat a cake mat that has just come out of the pot." ”
You Xi smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Mo, for feeding." ”
"What did the girl say, you are not the cat or dog, how do you use the word feeding." Aunt Mo said angrily.
"Eh, Aunt Mo, you don't understand, I'm expressing your love for me." You Xijiao said.
"Ahem, girl, the eldest prince is here."
You Yan's appearance quieted down the entire kitchen.
You Xi looked at him playfully, "Big brother is returning the water?" ”
You Yan's face turned red, "Father let you pass." ”
"Oh, I see." You Xi replied lazily, "Mother, taste this soup, it's so fragrant." ”
"You, Youxi, you're too uneducated. Elder, if you don't say that you will go over immediately, you should quickly get up and clean up your appearance. You Yan said angrily.
"You, big brother, you're too eye-catching......"
"Enough, if you like to go or not, anyway, if you delay things, my father won't be me."
You Xi imitated You Yan's speech again, You Yan immediately wanted to burrow in shame, he dropped a sentence in a panic and ran away.
You Yan ran all the way back to the main house and said in a low voice, "Father, Ah Xi doesn't want to come over." ”
You Zhengming felt embarrassed, You Xi didn't give him half of his face as an elder.
You Shun was stunned, and still smiled kindly, "Uncle, the eldest nephew is really diligent and filial, since she wants to cook soup and serve you personally, then Xiu will wait for her." ”
"Eh, yes, okay." You Zhengming responded embarrassedly, where would You Xi make soup for him to eat, it was obvious that those masters and servants were having lunch and were not willing to take care of him.
"Hey, big nephew, didn't you say there's a second thing to say? This eldest brother's granddaughter is married to Zhiyuanhou, what trouble can she solve for me? Don't deliberately tease me to have a relationship with your eldest brother. You Zhengmao was originally angry because the goods at home were detained a few days ago, and he went to his house to intercede, but he didn't even have to enter the door, but he panicked again when no one paid attention to him.
"Eighth uncle, don't worry, this second thing is also related to the eldest nephew's daughter, that is, the fire room." You Shun pointed to the fire chamber not far away.
All eyes followed.
The small room made of loess, warm as spring, can grow out-of-season vegetables, the You family knows, on the day they first came, look around, and find that there are vegetables in the loess small room when they are surprised, and want to choose some to sacrifice to the temple at night, which Cheng thought, at that time, the lost soul of Mrs. Chai Yumai okra and others, guarded it extremely tightly, as long as they wanted to get closer, they would look at it angrily and attack.
You Shunyan learned about this fire chamber two years ago.
You Zhengming's lineage, although it is a branch of the You family, but the ancestral tomb of the You family in Jingshan is not only owned by the Yan family, but also the You clan of the side branch can also be buried here after death.
Two years ago, when You Shun came to pay respects to his parents, who died a few years ago, he saw You Xi, who was tinkering in the fire room, taking out a lot of vegetables from the house that can only be seen in summer.
He immediately became interested and wanted to visit one or two, but this look made him discover the wonder, that is, this fire room did not cost a single firewood or carbon.
You Shun Yan arrived wonderful and interested, and immediately went up to have a relationship with You Xi, intending to say something good, so that You Xi, who was only fifteen years old at the time, gave him the method of making this fire chamber under his flickering, but You Xi only gave him a big roll of the eyes and drove him out of the fire room.
You Shunyan was unfavorable for the first time, and the second time he used his official position to press, and he didn't speak very politely, but You Xi was not afraid of him, and ridiculed him, "Master You, it's time for promotion and performance appraisal soon, you said that if I go to the Xianfu Mansion to sue you with the construction drawings of the fire room, what will happen to you?" The people who are officials are not good at removing difficulties for the people of Li and sharing worries for the saints, but they threaten me with an official position A weak woman, Master You is really good, and those who know each other should get out quickly. ”
If You Shun wants to get the construction plan of the fire room, he is rushing to be promoted, if You Xi shakes out his threat to the daughter of the clan at this critical time, he will be attacked by the officials of the constitutional government for being disrespectful and disobedient, bullying the weak, and affecting his triennial promotion evaluation.
You Shun couldn't let this happen, so he endured You Xi's ridicule of him, and didn't do anything rebellious easily, until today, he felt that the You clan couldn't easily offend him, so he came to the door again.
"Zhiyuanhou is an important minister of the imperial court, and this fire room is a novelty, if Axi takes this as a dowry and dedicates the construction drawings to Zhiyuanhou, Zhiyuanhou will definitely love Axi more."
In fact, in You Shunyan's concept, it is impossible for You Xi to refuse Zhao Xian, firstly, Zhao Xian's family is prominent, and the current little lady does not want to be an official lady with beautiful scenery, especially the You family is not an official eunuch now, and secondly, Zhao Xian's family is prominent, that is, You Xi is really a maverick, and Zhao Xian can also force her to comply.
After all, Zhao Xian's official position is much higher than him, and he has much less scruples than him, You Xi's trick of going to the Xianfu with evidence to complain is useful to him, but it is useless to Zhao Xian, if You Xi really dares to disobey, Zhao Xian has a way to make her comply.
"What does that have to do with my goods?" You Zhengmao only cares about his own goods.
"Eighth uncle, now that there is no one in my uncle's family as an official, your business path will be difficult, but if anyone knows that you are the eighth uncle and grandfather of the future Zhiyuan Marquis, will they still dare to make a mistake to you? is really that there is not a long eye, when the time comes, Ah Xi will go and tell Zhi Yuanhou, Zhi Yuanhou will not immediately clean up for you. "You Shun is very handy at painting flatbread.
When You Zhengmao heard this, he snorted disdainfully, "You Shunyu, in vain, you are still branched out from the You family's great-grandparents, and it is not as clear as me, the eldest granddaughter, who is separated from the great-grandfather's generation, is not close to the You family, and when she soars, no one in the You family can see her again." ”
