Chapter 113 It is difficult for a Qing official to cut off family affairs
Miao Linglong was frightened by Miao Feng's face, but she still stammered and said, "No one taught me, I came by myself!"
"You're still hard-mouthed!" Miao Feng was really angry, and slapped his sister.
"Stop!" Before Miao Feng's slap fell, a young woman came out of the courtyard of the Miao family, the other party was not particularly beautiful, but she had the momentum of being a family, and people stood there as if they could calm the scene.
"Sister-in-law!" Miao Linglong hurriedly hid behind the woman.
Miao Feng's face not only did not ease, but became more ugly: "You let Linglong come over and mess around?" ”
The other party said slowly: "The head of the family is waiting for you inside, go in first." ”
Miao Feng immediately said angrily: "You go back, let people come out to greet the guests, the guests have arrived at the door, are they lame or paralyzed?" Don't even know how to be hospitable? ”
"Who are they? Why ......" Miao Linglong was stopped by the woman before she finished speaking, and the other party saluted slightly: "In the next ......"
Before the woman could say who she was, Miao Feng preemptively said: "You are not a member of the Miao family yet, you don't need to come out to greet you, Linglong, you go back and call someone." ”
The woman's face turned red and white, and she was speechless for a while, but Miao Linglong was angry: "Brother, how can you treat your sister-in-law like this?" Just two outsiders......"
"Go back!" Miao Feng was really angry now, Miao Linglong was so frightened that she cried, turned around and ran towards the Miao family's compound, and the woman also hurriedly chased after her.
The Ninth Prince unfolded his fan and said, "Brother Miao, I'm afraid that our visit has affected the relationship between your husband and wife?" ”
"She's not my daughter-in-law yet!" Miao Feng said: "Her name is Ji Mingyue, and she is the daughter-in-law that my grandmother chose for me, and she hasn't passed the door yet." It made the two of them laugh. ”
The Ninth Prince had already shown his dissatisfaction, and Ye Sanqi's face was naturally not very good-looking.
Ye Sanqi, the Ninth Prince, is a guest that Miao Feng personally invited back on behalf of the Miao family, Miao Linglong used the phantom array to block Ye Sanqi, and it can be said that it is a child messing around. The Miao family didn't even come out to greet a servant, which was a big gift.
This kind of thing that doesn't take the guests in his eyes, even now, is slapping the guests' faces, let alone in the era when the etiquette was almost harsh?
What's more, at that time, when visiting a large family, unless the people who came were all women, otherwise, no matter whether the guests were invited or took the initiative to come to the door, as long as there was a man in charge of the house, women would not be allowed to come out to greet the guests. This kind of thing appears in the abacus city, and it is guaranteed that someone will squeeze on the last sentence: As soon as someone comes, a woman comes out to welcome guests, what kind of place is that?
Miao Feng's face couldn't hold it, and it was also reasonable!
After a while, I saw a housekeeper-like person with a few subordinates, trotting all the way out of the Miao family's compound: "Young master......"
"Go back!" Miao Feng said angrily: "I invited Qimen Shuangshao, why did you come out?" ”
The housekeeper who had just shouted "Young Master" hurriedly retreated, and after a while, someone spread the red felt to the door and opened the middle door of the compound.
As soon as Miao Feng was about to speak, Ye Sanqi said in a low voice: "Etiquette is okay, don't worry too much!" ”
In ancient times, large families, especially those who had high-ranking officials, had convenient doors on the sides of the gates. Usually, the door is not opened, whether it is a subordinate or a family member, they all go through the door. Sir, when my wife goes out, she walks through the gate, but the gate is not fully open. Only when guests arrive will they open their doors to welcome them.
However, the high welcome etiquette should be "four doors wide open", that is, the three doors on the left and right, plus the living room doors must all be open.
The way the Miao family greeted Ye Sanqi was still a little less interesting after all.
Ye Sanqi was originally persuading Miao Feng to dissipate his anger, but he didn't expect that what he said would be heard by the Miao family who came out to greet him, and someone said in a weird way: "To greet the two pseudo-grandmasters, do you still have to use the gift of greeting the grandmaster?" ”
When I heard this, I immediately became angry: "Who said that my master is a pseudo-grandmaster? ”
A man who was about the same age as Miao Feng and was wearing a fuchsia horse coat laughed and said, "You ask your master, is he a grandmaster?" ”
At that time, I didn't know that Grandmaster was not a simple title.
Nowadays, in many novels, the grandmaster is regarded as a kind of cultivation level, but in fact, the grandmaster is not a rank, but a honorable position.
Only those who have opened up the world in cultivation, created their own family, and reached the establishment of a sect are qualified to be called grandmasters, even if a person cultivates to the heavens, but fails to create his own master, he cannot be called a grandmaster. After creating a peerless school, he failed to teach outstanding disciples, made a name for the sect, and spread his branches, and he could not be called a grandmaster.
Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes only completed the first step of the grandmaster's self-created stunt, although they were named young grandmasters by the predecessors of Qimen, but if they were really more serious, the two of them were really pseudo grandmasters.
However, as long as the people in the rivers and lakes don't let the donkey kick their heads, they will never have nothing to do in front of anyone to find out whether he is a grandmaster or not. The sedan chair is carried by everyone, which is the mainstream of life and work on the rivers and lakes.
The person who spoke was obviously looking for trouble!
Miao Feng turned around and slapped the man in the face, knocking the man to the ground on the spot, Miao Feng threw his hands and said, "This is the Miao family, do you have a part in talking?" ”
"Ming Fei!" Ji Mingyue picked up the person who was beaten, glared at Miao Feng angrily and said, "Miao Feng, how can you beat someone?" This is my brother. ”
Miao Feng ignored Ji Mingyue, but looked gloomily at the Miao family elder who took the lead to greet him: "Seventh Elder, let me ask you, is this mansion surnamed Miao or surnamed Ji now?" ”
Miao Feng was obviously really angry, and the Seventh Elder said embarrassedly: "Young Master, let's go in and talk about this matter!" Second Elder, I am not good at interfering in matters that are solely responsible. ”
Miao Feng snorted coldly and walked towards the Miao family's mansion.
Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes stood motionless. Miao Feng was dealing with the internal affairs of the family, and the two of them were inconvenient and unwilling to interfere.
I can probably understand what Ye Sanqi meant, as the saying goes: It is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs. This kind of thing, mixed in, there is a high probability that it will not be a person inside and out.
Besides, the person who really invited Ye Sanqi and the Nine Princes over should be the Miao family, not Miao Feng. The Miao family had no intention of letting Ye Sanqi and them meddle in the secrets of the old ancestral tomb, and they had no reason to intervene strongly.
Ye Sanqi was able to stand here and wait for Miao Feng to come out, also for the sake of friendship. Otherwise, with the temper of the two of them, they should have gone a long time ago.
