Chapter 77: Dog eats dog
Looking at the table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, Jiang Fuyi and the others from the mountains widened their eyes and didn't dare to move, until Jiang Mingtao asked them to move the chopsticks, and everyone picked up the chopsticks carefully.
Because it tasted so good, they had never eaten it in their lives, so it didn't take long for them to feast on it.
Especially the Liu family, because they have no silver on their bodies, they got up early this morning until now, and they have only drunk some water in the inn, and the particles have not entered.
So everyone opened their bellies and ate hard, and at the end of the meal they all held up, and the room was full of burp sounds.
Jiang Mingtao saw that they looked like starving ghosts reincarnated, and he was very disdainful in his heart.
He made his parents think that he was dead and was reluctant to go back to recognize his relatives, and the most important reason was that he was ,—— favored by the county lord of Rong'an.
He is a poor boy from the mountains, even if he is only eight buckets tall and has become a jinshi, it is not easy to climb up.
If you have nothing to do with it, after entering the Hanlin Academy, you can only do chores, and in a few years you may be released as an official from the seventh grade, and you may not be able to return to the capital after many years of working outside, and it is an unattainable dream for him to be promoted to become rich.
But if you marry the county lord of Rong'an, then everything will be different.
In addition, when he went to Fucheng to catch the exam, he had a lot of eyes, and when he went to the county government to open the household registration certificate, he imitated Li Zheng's handwriting and wrote a township certificate for himself again, but it did not say that he had married a wife.
Therefore, in the household registration certificate issued to him by Weiyang County, he is unmarried.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Mingtao at the beginning, after Mr. Ye Jinghuai told him again and again that he would definitely be promoted and jinshi, and he would definitely get ahead, his heart was already wild.
Before going to Fucheng to catch the exam, he disliked his background and that he had a wife from an average background like Ye Miaoyun.
felt that his parents and wife were not worthy of him.
Later, he smoothly married the county lord of Rong'an.
After marrying a wife, he also thought about secretly getting rid of Ye Xianya and their mother and daughter, and bringing his father and mother to the capital, but after thinking about it, Jiang Mingtao still gave up.
Because he knew that his parents and younger brother were coarse people who couldn't read a few words, and after arriving in the capital, they would only make the county lord of Rong'an dislike.
She is a clan girl, and if she doesn't have a good time, she will definitely reconcile with him.
Therefore, Jiang Mingtao has not contacted Jiang Fuyi and them, preferring to make them think that they are dead.
Seeing his parents and relatives today, Jiang Mingtao only felt that everything he did in the past was right, because their appearance was very different from what he is now.
The county lord of Rong'an would never allow such a relative to enter the gate of their mansion.
"Dad, mother, Minghe, there are a thousand taels of silver here, you take it, in the next few days, I will send an entourage to accompany you to play around the capital for a few days, and when you have a good meal, you will go back to Qingya Village." Jiang Mingtao put the wooden box in front of Jiang Fuyi, and there were 1,000 taels of silver in it.
Jiang Fuyi and the others were dumbfounded when they heard this.
This...... Is this to drive them away?
"No, we're not going back to Qingya Village!" Jiang Fuyi stretched out his hand and took the silver ticket in his hand, glared at his son, and said loudly: "Don't think that if you are an official now, you can deny your parents and younger brother, let me tell you, since we are here, we have no intention of going back." ”
The house they lived in Qingya Village was too evil for them to dare to go back.
If you want to live any longer, it won't be a lack of arms and legs, and I'm afraid you won't even have your life.
After Jiang Mingtao heard his words, his face suddenly sank: "If you don't go back, you have to go back, how can the county lord look down on you like this?" It is not easy for me to have today, if you are disobedient and cause me to reconcile with the county lord or lose my official position, then you will not want to get any benefits from me in the future, and obediently go back to Qingya Village, and I will have people send you two hundred taels of silver every year. ”
"Son, we can't go back, the house in Qingya Village has been tampered with, maybe it's Ye Xianya's dead girl's ghost, we want to go back, there must be a dead end, if you don't take us back to the house, eat and drink well...... Your mother and I will go to Jingzhao Yamen tomorrow to complain. Liu said loudly.
She has been in the capital for four days, and the shopkeeper of the inn told her today that if she encounters trouble that cannot be solved, she can go to Jingzhao Yamen to complain.
"Also, you have been promoted to the fourth rank official a few days ago, I heard the innkeeper say that all court officials who are above the fourth grade, their mother will be edicted, then I am now also the imperial court's wife, and there is still a fortune every month, I will stay in the capital, not return to Qingya Village, if you dare to drive us away, it is unfilial."
When Jiang Mingtao heard this, green tendons appeared on his forehead.
The innkeeper is really full, how can he tell the old lady all this?
Her old lady is notoriously difficult in the village, but she is very good to her own family, and she used to love him the eldest son the most, but she didn't expect to go against him today.
"Mother, if you don't go back to Qingya Village, then go to Weiyang County, I will send someone to buy you a big house in Weiyang County, and send someone to send you back silver every year, as well as my mother's money, I will also send it back, what does my father and mother think?"
"Nope." Before Jiang Fuyi could speak, Liu slapped the table: "I don't care about others, I have to stay in the capital anyway." ”
This place in the capital is really good, she has only been here for four days, and she feels that this is the best place in the world, her son is now a four-grade official of the imperial court, and she is also a lady of the imperial court, why should she go back to that small place in Weiyang County?
Besides, the innkeeper told her that there were a lot of ladies and daughters, and if she left the capital, she would definitely be greedy.
What had she heard before...... People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
Of course, she has to go higher now.
"Boss, I know that you have been an official for more than ten years, and now you are the master of the fourth grade, and the official frame is sufficient, but don't forget...... We are your fathers and mothers, if you even want to drive your father and mother away, so unfilial, how can you be an official? Jiang Fuyi knocked on the pipe in his hand and said with squinted eyes.
Before he came, he had already discussed with his wife that no matter how much trouble he encountered, he would stay in the capital.
Because only in this way can the second family follow the light.
Can't the boss live so well, the second family has to go back to the mountain in Qingya Village with them to be a tea farmer, right?
Even if he doesn't think about the second child, he has to think about his two grandchildren and granddaughter.
Only by staying in the capital can their future be bright.
Before they came, they thought that their son was a fifth-grade official, but now they know that their son is already a fourth-grade official, and his wife also has the title of Mrs. Order.
If so, what are they going back to do?
Jiang Mingtao saw that they refused to go back, so he smashed his fist on the table with an angry fist.
