Chapter 230: Decay (Part II)
Lingqueer smiled: "Everything pays attention to the word 'fate', since your father doesn't like to be the owner of the village, even if he uses a knife on his neck, it is useless." Although the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not good for fighting, killing and killing, they can also cultivate sentiment and cultivate their minds, which is not a good thing for a person who grew up in a martial arts family. This may be his fate, and no one can change it. β
Yan Shigui shook his head and sighed: "If that's all it is, then forget it, even if the revitalization of Mantuo Mountain Villa is hopeless, but after all, the reputation is still there." Even if those people in the rivers and lakes don't look at my father's face, they will look at my great-grandfather's face, respect my Mantuo Villa in the past, and dare not have the slightest disrespect.
"Butγγγγγγ When Yan Shigui said this, he looked extremely excited, coughed violently, shook his head and sighed. Sitting on the chair, his face was purple and blue, and he couldn't say a word.
Qiao Zhengyu and the others were about to ask, but they saw him suddenly get up from the chair, walk back and forth in the hall a few times, and endure his temperament: "That day, my father brought a woman from outside the village, saying that he wanted to marry him. The woman was slender and slender, but her abdomen was slightly bulging, and she seemed to be pregnant.
At that time, everyone in the village was stunned, not knowing what was happening, even the four protectors were confused, like in the clouds. When asked the reason, I learned that the woman was an old friend whom her father had met outside, but because the two couldn't hold it after a drunken time, the woman became pregnant.
"Now that my father brought the woman to the villa, the intention was already obvious, that is, to marry the woman as a concubine. After the four protectors learned the truth of the whole matter, they strongly opposed it at that time. But his father changed his weak temperament in the past, and fought with the four protectors on the spot
Argue. In a fit of rage, the four Dharma protectors ordered his father to be locked up in the back hall and no one was allowed to see him. β
Qiao Zhengyuqi said: "With all due respect, since that woman is pregnant, it is not impossible for your father to marry her back." But I don't know why the four protectors reacted so strongly, but they strongly opposed this family business?"
Yan Shigui said: "Mantuo Mountain Villa is a martial arts family, and it has a very high reputation in the rivers and lakes, how can this kind of thing be allowed to happen." Moreover, this kind of unmarried pregnancy behavior is wrong, and it has been shamed by the world from ancient times to the present. If this matter is spread out once it gets out, I am afraid that by then my Mantuo Villa will lose face and lose its reputation. β
Feeling thirsty, he sat down on a chair, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Therefore, in order to preserve the reputation of Mantuo Villa, the four protectors imprisoned that woman in the villa. Even so, it is a good hospitality, and there is nothing wrong with it except the restriction of freedom.
At the same time, he patiently enlightened his father's side, and allowed him to meet with the woman once a day to appease him for the time being. At first, my father was very angry and did not listen to the teachings of the Four Dharma Protectors. But as time passed, my father gradually accepted this arrangement, so he calmed down and stopped making noise.
Still, as the days went by, the woman's belly grew bigger and bigger. The four Dharma Protectors knew that this would not work after all, and they still had to find a complete solution. So he called the woman, gave her a large amount of silver, and made her swear in public to keep it a secret forever, and finally let her leave the villa.
When the woman left the villa, she found a place to live in seclusion, keeping her vows and keeping her vows. Later, it didn't take long for her to give birth to a baby, although she didn't have a husband with her
But the cottage gave a lot of money, but it was also at ease, and did not suffer because of it. β
When Qiao Zhengyu heard this, he looked at Yan Shigui for a long time, and exclaimed, "Brother Yan, could it be youγγγγγγ You, the baby?"
When Yan Shigui heard this, his face changed, and he snorted: "My father has only married one woman in his life, and that is Murong Wanyan of Murong Villa, and I am their only son. As for the woman, she has not been to the cottage since, and I don't know whether she is dead or alive now, and how I could be that baby. β
Feeling a little out of shape, he bowed to Qiao Zhengyu and said: "In the next moment, if there is any rudeness just now, please forgive Qiao Shaoxia." β
Qiao Zhengyu smiled slightly and said, "Oh, Brother Yan doesn't have to be polite, please continue." β
Yan Shigui nodded and continued: "After this turmoil, Mantuo Mountain Villa gradually began to decay, and it no longer has the same scenery as before. And my father had no intention of revitalizing the villa, he was intoxicated with singing and dancing all day long, and he had already forgotten all the ancestral teachings.
"Seeing that time flies, things are not people, and in the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and Mantuo Villa is like the grass and trees in these mountains, buried deep in the mountains and forests, and no one knows about it. Later, although my father passed on the position of the owner of the village to me, how could I have shallow intelligence and limited ability, even if I have the strength to turn the tide, but I am powerless to return to the sky, heyγγγγγγ β
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but feel very emotional, and sat there shaking my head and sighing.
Qiao Zhengyu comforted: "I can understand Brother Yan's mood, but everything has ups and downs, Mantuo Villa has gone through a hundred years, and the current situation is also a natural law, not Brother Yan's problem." Brother Yan doesn't have to blame himself too much, it's better to want to open up everything, don't get caught up in it anymore and can't extricate yourself. β
