Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Lady of the Li Family
"Stinky boy, don't pat yourself on the back, I don't eat this set of third uncles," Wang Li chuckled, then his face froze, and he said solemnly: "This matter is beneficial for a long time, you have to work hard for me, if there is any difficulty that cannot be solved, tell the third uncle, the third uncle will try his best to help you solve it." ”
When Wang Changsheng heard this, his nose was sour, the heirs of the third uncle did not have spiritual roots, and he put all his hopes on their juniors, which could be seen from his attitude of preaching and teaching the Fa on weekdays.
"I know, third uncle, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and I will choose someone in three days," said Wang Changsheng, who turned around and left the teaching hall.
Wang Changsheng had just left, Wang Li rushed to the corner on the left and said, "Okay, big brother, Changsheng is gone, you come out! There is no need to hide it anymore," Listening to his words, there seems to be someone hiding there.
As soon as the words fell, a white-haired old man appeared in the corner out of thin air, if Wang Changsheng was still there, he would definitely be able to recognize this person, this person was Wang Changsheng's grandfather - Wang Dong.
"Third brother, I know that I can't hide it from you," Wang Dong smiled bitterly and said, he looked at the direction of Wang Changsheng's departure, a little distracted.
"If you hadn't strongly opposed the second boy's marriage to Changsheng's mother back then, how could you be where you are today," Wang Li sighed when he saw this.
Wang Changsheng originally had a good relationship with his grandfather, but he didn't know where he learned that his grandfather had opposed his father's marriage to his mother, and from that day on, Wang Changsheng didn't like to talk to his grandfather very much, and he even thought that his mother was killed by his grandfather.
Wang Dong did not explain this, and rarely appeared in front of Wang Changsheng.
"Alas, don't mention the past, I'll eat the cause and bitter fruit I planted!" Wang Dong shook his head and said with a wry smile, it can be seen that he has some regrets, but what's the use of regretting, there are all kinds of medicine in this world that have to be sold, but there is no regret medicine.
But then again, in the background environment at the time, Wang Dong didn't think he did anything wrong, the family was preparing to choose the next patriarch, the Li family and their Wang family are family friends, if Wang Mingyuan marries the daughter of the Li family, it is very likely that he will serve as the next patriarch, but who would have thought that he would bring back a loose cultivator, although Wang Dong finally agreed to the marriage of the two, but he almost broke off his friendship with the Li family, fortunately, Wang Mingyuan personally came to the door to apologize, and the two families did not completely break off the relationship, but since then, the relationship between the two families is not as good as before.
Wang Changsheng's cultivation is stagnant, Wang Dong, the grandfather, sees it in his eyes, and he is anxious in his heart, he even does not hesitate to disturb Wang Huayuan Qingxiu, please come to check for Wang Changsheng, all this, Wang Mingyuan did not say it explicitly, Wang Changsheng also knew that his grandfather did it, but whenever he saw the portrait of his mother, his warm heart hardened again, and he couldn't get close to his grandfather, Wang Mingyuan was also quite helpless about it.
······
On a mountain peak more than ten miles away from Fumo Mountain, there are also large buildings on the top of the mountain, and people are surging, which is the family residence of the Li family, the family friend of the Wang family.
In a room full of books, a middle-aged Confucian student sat at a tea table, holding an ancient scroll in his left hand, reading with relish.
"Second brother, you are reading in the house again, can't you do anything else?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman in a long fiery red dress walked in and said loudly to her.
"Eldest sister, do you have something to do with me?" The middle-aged Confucian glanced up at the middle-aged woman, then moved his gaze back to the ancient scroll in his hand, and said lightly.
"Second brother, let me ask you something, have you received an invitation or anything like that recently," the middle-aged woman said with a smirk.
"Invitation?" The middle-aged Confucian raised his eyebrows, a look of panic flashed in his eyes, and he said calmly: "No, where did you hear that?"
"Is it true? I'll give you another chance," the middle-aged woman's face froze, and she said coldly, just like before.
"Yes······ Fake, there is indeed an invitation, it's just an ordinary entertainment. ”
"You still want to hide it from me, what is this?" With a snap, the middle-aged woman took out a letter and slapped it on the table, with three small characters written on the left side of the letter.
When the middle-aged Confucian saw this letter, he secretly said in his heart, glanced at the middle-aged woman, and saw that her face was full of anger, so he knew that she was not angry, and hurriedly smiled, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Eldest sister, I know you don't like Brother Wang... No, Wang Daoyou, but our Li and Wang families are world friends, and the friendship of hundreds of years can't be broken just because you are alone! This is not in the interests of my own clan, I know that Wang Daoyou did a little too much back then, but that is not in the past. ”
"Are you done?" said the middle-aged woman lightly.
"Well, that's it. ”
The middle-aged woman glanced at the middle-aged Confucian and said, "It's time for me to say it, I know that the friendship of hundreds of years can't be broken like this, didn't their Wang family invite us to participate in their clan competition in a month? I'll go, I'll go on behalf of our Li family, you don't object!"
"Eldest sister, you must be joking," the middle-aged Confucian said, his face turned pale when he heard this, and he forcibly squeezed out a smile.
When the middle-aged woman heard this, her lips squirmed, and with one hand, a fist-sized fireball was suspended in mid-air, and she said with a smile: "Second brother, I said that I burned your books in the room, do you believe it or not?"
When the middle-aged Confucian heard this, his face stiffened a little, he pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "I can let you go, but you have to promise me, don't mess around in the Wang family, if you don't agree to this condition, you will burn me and these books!"
"No problem, you continue to read, I won't bother," To the surprise of the middle-aged Confucian, the middle-aged woman agreed without thinking about it, and turned around and left the place.
Before the middle-aged Confucian could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a loud noise outside, and he hurriedly walked out to take a look.
I saw a big tree several feet high in the yard that broke off at the waist, and if you look closely, you can find that the break is flat and smooth, and it seems to have been cut off by some sharp weapon.
Hearing the sound, a few figures ran in outside, and when they saw a middle-aged woman with an angry face, they looked at the middle-aged Confucian with a sympathetic look.
"Come on, call the eldest lady to me, who asked her to tell the eldest sister the news, I don't know if her aunt gritted her teeth with hatred for Wang Daoyou?" After the middle-aged woman walked away, the middle-aged Confucian commanded loudly, and after speaking, he glanced at the big tree that stopped his waist and broke off, with a distressed look on his face.
"Yes," someone immediately replied, and quickly stepped back.
