Chapter Seventy-Four: Temporarily Avoiding the West

"Huh?" Won-hee shrank back and covered his face with a handkerchief.

The old lady straightened her face: "You're fooling around again, aren't you? How do you learn to be like your eldest sister now, every truth in your mouth." ”

When the clan elder heard the old lady reprimanding Yuanxi and sparing a Yuanjia, he felt uncomfortable: "What's the matter with this Guan Yuanjia?"

The old lady sighed, pointed at Yuan Xi and said, "You kid, you killed the second son of the Zhao family, and you don't know his father's temper." Go back with anger now, don't you beat the second son to death?" The old lady said and hurriedly called Wei Dongshu: "Hurry up, hurry up, go quickly, stop Boss Zhao, explain well, don't wronged other people's children." ”

Yuan Xi hooked the corners of his lips and wiped the lipstick off his face without hurrying.

Ling'er stopped Wei Dongshu and said, "Don't go, master, although Miss hasn't been beaten today, she hasn't told a lie." It was a drunk man who scared people, and the second son was scared at that time, leaving the young lady to flee for her life alone. ”

After listening to it for a long time, the clan elder laughed twice: "Let's talk about it, little ancestor, which play are you singing today? Let me guess, is it a trap or a plot?"

"Big brother, you're here again, Yuanxi is still a child, what's so insidious as you said?" The old lady glanced sideways and said proudly, "Don't ...... it"

"Don't live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" the patriarch raised his eyebrows, squeezing into a wrinkle.

"That's not what I said. The old lady took a sip of tea indifferently.

"Come on, that's what you mean whether you say it or not, and I don't take it seriously with you. The patriarch pointed at Yuan Xi again: "Your grandmother doesn't know you, but I do, although you are young, your ability to calculate people is not small." Let's talk about it, did you find a drunk man to set up a game for Zhao Gongzi?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Yuan Xi looked at the roof of the shed, dusted off his sleeves again, and looked unconcerned.

Yuan Xi's answer was obviously a bit of a thief's heart, and now even the old lady had to believe it, and said anxiously: "Xi'er, what are you doing this for? Could it be that the husband that your grandmother and your father chose for you is not suitable? Zhao Gongzi has a good appearance, a good family background, and a better education, so you won't suffer a loss if you marry in the past." ”

"Grandmother, isn't a major marriage event a business, can you last a lifetime without a loss?" Yuan Xi twisted his handkerchief: "What looks like you don't look good, your family background is not your family background!"

The old man of the clan narrowed his eyes: "So, do you want to find an ugly poor ghost? This is also easy, there is a flower in the City God Temple, you can pick Ming'er, and ask him to be the son-in-law of our Wei family." ”

"Grandmother, listen to what the clan elder said!" Yuan Xi pouted: "It's still an elder, so disrespectful to the elder." ”

"You ......" the clan elder was speechless.

The old lady also wanted to save some face for the clan elder, and pretended to reprimand Yuan Xi and said: "You kid, the clan elder is also for your good, even if you don't think about it, you can't hold on like this." We're talking about your marriage today, so don't get involved in anything else. Tell me, what do you think about you and the Zhao family's son?"

"I never thought about it. ”

"Not now, you're sixteen now, it's time to think about it. The old lady pulled Yuan Xi with a pleasant face: "The son of the Zhao family is a little softer, but softness also has the benefits of softness, at least he won't bully you." Think about it, if you marry a rude man and beat your wife twice in three days, can you stand it?"

The clan elder and Wei Dongshu also fanned the flames.

Yuan Xi flattened his mouth and shook off everyone: "I don't care, anyway, I don't marry, and the eldest sister is not married, so you are in a hurry to marry me, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

"Unless ......" Yuan Xi blinked and said treacherously, "Unless you marry the eldest sister first." ”

"What kind of words is this, if your eldest sister doesn't get married, you and Yuanyue Yuanjie will be old girls for the rest of their lives? The clan elder turned his face away and said to the old lady: "I see, the third girl is thin-skinned, and the girl's family is like this, she is embarrassed to admit it in front of so many people, but in fact, she is willing to do it." Zhao Gongzi's conditions are so good, can she not be tempted?"

"Alas!" Yuan Xi waved his hand a few times: "Clan old man, don't mess with the mandarin duck spectrum, that Zhao Gongzi can't be a martial artist, what kind of good conditions are it? Besides, my business has just started, and the store is doing well, I don't want to let go at this time." My father said, I want to hone hard, and in the future, all the Wei family's properties will be under my control, and if I leave, who will these properties belong to?

The word "industry" was like a sharp blade, directly stabbing the heart of the clan elder, his old face was red, and his eyes dodged a few times: "You kid, I'm so old, can I still grab silver flowers from you?"

"I think so, the eldest brother is dedicated to politics and doesn't want to do business. I think I can't do without me in this family, otherwise who will support this huge business?"

It is impossible for the clan elder to argue with Yuan Xi on this topic, although the You clan's desire to seize the heir is not dead, and the clan elder has been fanning the flames, but after all, they have not yet come to the fore, they are just making a trick behind their backs.

The family property will be given to Yuan Xi in the future, this is the decision that Wei Dongshu has made public, if anyone moves this idea, it will be a big rebellion to fight for the family property. Wei Yuanjia and the clan elders would not be stupid enough to say their purpose of fighting for the family property, so the clan elders would not easily say the words of letting Yuanjia manage the property instead of Yuanxi.

The arrogance of the clan elder gradually weakened: "Yes, yes, yes, but you can't help but get married? Could it be that you want to be an old girl for the rest of your life?"

As soon as this family affair went around to the family property, the old lady suddenly woke up for three points, yes, if Yuan Xi got married at this time, how would Wei Dongshu pass the store under his name to Yuan Xi's head? Even if he did this, could the old shopkeepers in those stores be convinced? If Yuan Xi was not happy with Yuan Xi in three days, could the business still be done?

The old lady was silent for a long time, and then shook her head: "That's it, since Yuanxi and Zhao Gongzi can't get along, don't force it anymore." Big brother, the twisted melon is not sweet. If you work hard to get old, ask again and see if there are other suitable people. ”

Seeing that the old lady didn't completely veto, the clan elder was not in a hurry, so he responded: "Yes, I'll go and ask the matchmaker again." ”

The clan elder went out, and the old lady gradually straightened her face: "Dongshu, close the door." ”

Wei Dongshu was puzzled, but he still plugged in the latch: "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady tilted her head, and her head passed for a long time: "Our family still has two old stores in Yuexi Prefecture, right?"

"Yes, but you know that place in Yuexi, the poor countryside, so the business is not very good, I wonder if I should buy the storefront." ”

Wei Dongshu had a headache when he thought of those two broken shops, Yuexi was already poor, and it bordered Donglinzhou. Bandits in Donglinzhou are rampant, and they often meet each other in arms. So those two stores lose things at every turn, and there are often guys who run away with money.

"Then don't sell it yet. The old lady looked at Dongshu: "Tonight, you find out the deeds of these two shops and give them to Yuan Xi, and then ask Yu and Ling'er to prepare some coils and clothes for her, and let Yuan Xi go there first to take refuge for a while." ”

"Mother, I heard you right, what are you letting Yuanxi do there?" Wei Dongshu thought he was deaf and plucked out his ears.

"You didn't listen to what your uncle meant? The old lady said: "Where is he choosing a son-in-law for Yuanxi, it is clear that he is driving Yuanxi away." Tell me, one you and one me, together they are more than 100 years old, but they are not as good as a child. But Yuan Xi saw through her grandfather first!"

Wei Dongshu pondered what Yuan Xi said just now, and only then did he realize the stakes. was calculated by his relatives, Wei Dongshu didn't feel good in his heart: "Mother, then why didn't you directly reject him just now?"

"Did you refuse? Yuan Xi is older, if we stop us from looking for a son-in-law, it will be good to say that it will be good to say. The old lady twisted the Buddha beads on her wrist: "I think it's best to go out and avoid it, the more west is far away, and the whip is out of reach." ”

Wei Dongshu sighed: "Yuexi Prefecture is poor and bad, why don't you change places?"

"No, Dad, Grandmother, I'll go to Yuexi. Yuan Xi said: "Dad, didn't you say that your daughter should have a good experience? This is a good opportunity." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, Dad, if you're really worried, you can send me two good men. Yuan Xi smiled gently: "Grandmother, granddaughter will definitely not let you down, granddaughter will definitely work hard to manage these two stores well." ”

The old lady smiled: "Asking you to go there is just to find a random excuse, not really asking you to turn the tide." You're still a kid, just have fun and take care of yourself. ”

"Grandmother, at the moment, no one is in charge of my Xi Yin Hall, I don't think it's better to divide it into two shares, one for Aunt Yu and one for the second sister, do you think about it?" Yuan Xi licked his lips: "If the guys from Xi Yin Tang are willing to go to Yuexi, they will follow." If you don't want to, you will stay in the capital to follow the second sister and Aunt Yu. ”

The old lady nodded approvingly, and poked at Yuan Xi's eyebrows: "This girl, now she looks like she speaks." ”

The girl had finally grown up, and she was even better than her mother's eccentric old age. Wei Dongshu was full of sorrow, and patted Yuan Xi lightly on the shoulder: "Xi'er, when you arrive in Yuexi, remember to write letters to your father and grandmother, and keep your family safe every month." Don't be reckless when you encounter something, hide if you can, and don't use yourself as a boy. ”

Won-hee nodded.

Yuexi, this place is not unfamiliar, in the previous life, Xiao Rongshen was awarded the title of Prince He because he quelled the rebellion in Donglinzhou next to Yuexi. He said back then, although Yuexi is poor, it is a quaint place, everything maintains the most primitive appearance, there are no pavilions and pavilions, but there are small bridges and flowing water, there is no Biwa Zhu eaves, but there is an ancient road west wind.

At that time, Yuanxi was still an innocent woman, leaning beside him and asking her to take her to Yuexi to have a look. It's a pity that he lied to himself after all.

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth secretly, Xiao Rongshen, without you in this life, I can go to Yuexi alone.
