Chapter 50: Demonism and Utilitarianism
"If you owe me water, you will pay it back tomorrow."
"......" wandering.
How could such a shrewd and calculating person be stunned, it was because he thought too much.
"No, I don't have any money for you."
"Big brother, although it is best to calculate the affairs of me and your You family one by one, but I don't take the initiative to mention the matter of money, that is, I don't want money, you don't have to be so surprised." Swim in the Creek Virtuous Road.
"Would you be so kind? ……”
"Ah Yan, are you back? Ah Xi, you have to go out. ”
When You Yan muttered, You Yan's mother and the second lady of the You family came out of the side room and greeted You Xi with a smile.
After You Xi greeted with a smirk, he lifted his leg and left.
"Wait a minute, Ah Xi." Seeing that You Xi was leaving, Second Lady You hurriedly called out to her.
You Xi glanced back at her, and said with something written on her face, I still have something to do.
"Ah Xi, your eldest brother is a man, he speaks and does things very aggressively, at noon, he didn't listen to you a little, he was quite guilty after that, don't worry, when he puts down the firewood, he will go to fetch water and return you." Second Lady You looked understanding.
When You Yan heard this, his eyebrows were raised, and he was about to speak, when he was pinched by Second Mrs. You.
You Xi didn't see the small movements of the mother and son, and smirked, "Well, I know, is there anything else with the second uncle?" ”
"No, no, I just want to tell you that your eldest brother really wants you to be well, so go and get busy if you have something."
You Xi smiled and didn't answer, and went to find the original You family's servant.
After You Xi left, You Yan said irritably, "Mother, do you know how tiring it is to go out to collect firewood?" Look at my hands, I'm still a scholar, I'm used to doing this kind of work, I won't do the work of carrying water, I'll see what you can do with me. ”
"Son, it seems that you are really tired of picking firewood, carry the bucket, and I will talk to you alone." Second Lady You looked anxious and calculating.
You Yan looked at his mother's attitude, although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he still went to pick up the bucket and walked to the well.
On the way to the well, You Yan had a calm face.
Second Mrs. You saw that there was no one around, and took the bucket in You Yan's hand, "I said that you are a manly man, why are you so angry about a trivial matter." Can't you see that now even your eldest father regrets doing all the things that made You Xi and him separate? ”
"Mother, Youxi is just a little girl, how can the eldest father look at her differently, our family is not childless." The contempt for women in the bones of the You family man was revealed from You Yan's words again.
"Our family has a son, but now none of the ten Youjia sons and daughters are useful to swim in the stream. You see that there is also no identity as a descendant of the official family, how beautiful you are in the stream, how embarrassed we are, and today there are even liehous who come to marry her as the wife of the house. ”
"That's just that You Xi saw the saint, and the saint gave her two points of pity, and was known by those who tended to be inflammatory, and wanted to use it to cling. That Zhiyuan Hou is in his forties, and there are more than a dozen sons and daughters in the family who are older than Youxi. You Yan stiffened his mouth.
"Oh, there are so many people in the You family, why did You Xi see the saint when the You family was in trouble? I'm afraid you haven't forgotten the cold world we saw the day we just came out of prison. ”
The You family is a native of Kyoto, and it used to be the home of an official eunuch, and the network in Kyoto is also very strong, but on the day the You family was released from prison, You Zhengming divided the men of the You family into several ways to ask for help, but in the end, he didn't even have enough money for 100 taels.
Half of the one hundred taels are still the five daughters-in-law of the You family, and the maiden family of the two granddaughters-in-law sent a servant from the humble back door.
And the original plan of the You family that day was to find a relative to ask for a temporary residence in the house, but after begging for most of the day, he only got some money, and finally had to rush back to the ancestral grave.
Fortunately, except for traitors and rebellions, none of the raiders involved in the ancestral grave, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to come to the ancestral grave.
"Ah Yan, no matter what, you have to admit that that girl in Youxi is now stronger than anyone in our family, and fortunately, Grandma was not like your third uncle and aunt before, once she gained power, she bullied your eldest aunt recklessly, and we still have a great chance to reconcile with them.
Your sister-in-law has also obeyed the old lady's arrangement and contacted Youxi, if Youxi chooses your sister-in-law to be the best dowrywoman, then you will have a direct relationship with the Zhiyuanhou Mansion, if Youxi did not choose Ayu, then you have to find a way to make friends with Youxi, so that she is willing to carry you, if you can become the doorman of Zhiyuanhou, then you are the second Xu Yi, and the entire Youjia will be up to you in the future. Second Mrs. You sat happily dreaming and talked about planning.
You Yan sneered disdainfully, "Mother, you're too whimsical. That Xu Yi originally climbed to the king of Cheng, who has always been trusted by the saints, and this is what he has today. Although the Marquis of Zhiyuan was a relative of the emperor in the past, and now the princes and grandsons have a trace of blood in his family, but in the end, the generations have passed, and the kinship has weakened, and he can't show his hands and feet in front of the saint at all. I became his disciple, and it is impossible to become the second Xu Yi, unless I can vote for the door of King Cheng, with the power of Lord Cheng, it is possible to revive the You family and let the You family be in my hands. ”
"You kid, how can there be two people who are exactly the same in this world, you and Xu Yi are different people, so naturally they will have different life experiences. Although there are some similarities now, they have all experienced the matter of raiding the family and going to prison as the eldest son of the family, but life is so long, you are just comparing Xu Yi's road to recovery, and you may not be able to fully get what Xu Yi got at that time, he is indeed lucky to have the support of the prince, and he can still come out to be an official after he has been in prison, you can't reach the prince now, so go to Yuanhou first, and when you can get better, you can go better enough, why just have some ideas, so you retreat by yourself. ”
"According to my mother's wishes, I should go and please Youxi and let her choose Ah Yu as her concubine? Is it more convenient to deal with the Marquis of Zhiyuan? You Yan was moved, completely forgetting that when he was sarcastic about You Xi just now, he belittled Zhiyuan Hou, and he didn't care about his sister's future.
"Ah Yan, you are a pitiful, obviously your father didn't do anything, but because of filial piety, he put down the things that your father did, and now I don't know whether you live or die, you must hurry up and become stronger, save your father, and let your father be polite to you from now on. You don't know, my mother saw that you were told by your eldest father to talk to the girl in Youxi, and she was very distressed. After analyzing the situation for You Yan utilitarianly, Second Lady You suddenly began to play the emotional card.
Because of the words of Second Lady You, You Yan recalled that in the past, when his eldest father sternly taught him to take on the burden of a family, his father maintained and doted on him.
