Chapter 15: Resentment
(Thanks to the generous rewards of book friends "I am a panda fish" and "Wind and Sand Howl", the new book starts, and I ask for recommendation votes!!)
When he came to Haitianlou in the south of the city, he asked his subordinates to say goodbye, and soon, Ye Shi saw Steward Wu.
Of course, this Steward Wu is a member of the Peng family.
In Pengcheng County, the Peng family is rich and second-to-none family. The family is a big business, and there are groups of slaves and maids, and there are eight housekeepers alone.
Steward Wu is one of them.
"Outside of Ye Yuan, how did that go?"
Ye Shi smiled bitterly and said, "This ......"
Seeing his words, Steward Wu immediately guessed a few points and asked, "Didn't do it?"
Ye Shi nodded.
Steward Wu suddenly said unhappily: "Ye Yuanwai, this is you." Before that, you pat your chest and say it's fine. Besides, thou shalt take the fifty taels of silver. In that case, how can I explain to the second young master?"
Ye Shi said with a bitter face: "I don't want to either, but for some reason, my nephew who is not a good person suddenly opened his mind and resolutely disagreed......"
Say, tell the story from the beginning.
Steward Wu frowned, and said coldly: "I don't care, anyway, what you promised, how can you casually regret it?" If the second young master gets angry and hums, can you afford the consequences?"
Hearing this, Ye Shi's heart was stunned, and he complained bitterly, almost in a pleading tone: "Steward Wu, you have to be considerate." Why don't I pay you back the fifty taels right away?"
Although he is an outsider and has a solid family background, he is not enough to see in front of the Peng family, even if Steward Wu is only a descendant of the Peng family, the master behind the helpless family is too powerful to offend.
Steward Wu's expression was deep: "Ye Yuanwai, do you think that our Peng family's silver is so easy to take? In a word, in ten days, you must ask your niece to pass through the door." ”
Ye Shi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead: he thought that his son and nephew were demented and young, and they could tell the family affair with a few casual fools. In this way, you can not only get the benefits of silver, but also form a good relationship with the Peng family, and pave the way for the future to seek to seize the property of your son and nephew.
You must know that marrying into the Peng family and being the concubine of Master Peng is almost equivalent to jumping into the fire pit. With the condition of his niece, I am afraid that she will be tortured to death in two or three months after passing through the door.
As soon as she dies, Ye Junsheng, who will only bury his head in study, has no one to support, and he has no food and clothing, so it is not a dead end?
The plan of killing three birds with one stone, the abacus is full, but it has completely changed at the end of the day, but there are some signs of "being smart but being mistaken by being smart".
"Steward Wu, Steward Wu, listen to me, my nephew doesn't agree, I'm helpless, please talk to the second son, let him think of another way......"
Steward Wu said: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say. ”
Ye Shiyi gritted his teeth and said, "Steward Wu is willing to say a word or two, and I am willing to give a hundred taels of silver as a reward." ”
Steward Wu suddenly stretched out a slap, and five fingers shook in front of him: "This number." ”
Ye Shi's face immediately turned pale: "Steward Wu, you're too ruthless......"
Five hundred taels of silver was not a small amount for him.
Steward Wu pouted, and was too lazy to say, "Promise or not, a word." ”
After about a cup of tea, Ye Shi, who had heavy footsteps, left Haitianlou, his face was still white, but he regretted his intestines in his heart: what a Peng family, eating people without spitting out bones...... The thought turned again, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth: Damn Ye Junsheng, I actually lost five hundred taels of silver, in the world, is there such a nephew as you? Hateful, really hateful......
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I gradually became resentful.
......
Peng's house, covering an area of several acres, has continuous houses, pavilions and buildings, and is a big house.
In the backyard, Peng Qingcheng, who had just returned from Duyun Temple today, was lying on the couch, his face was flushed, although he was still unable to move freely, his physical condition was obviously much better than before he went to Master Kong for treatment.
"Second brother, I heard that you are going to marry me a concubine Chongxi?"
Peng Qingshan sat down in front of the couch and replied, "Not bad." ”
Peng Qingcheng perked up: "I don't know what kind of woman the other party is?"
"The Ye family in the east of the city. ”
Peng Qingcheng frowned, but he didn't have any impression.
Peng Qingshan smiled and said: "The woman's name is 'Ye Junmei', and there is an elder brother named 'Ye Junsheng', who is a well-known bookworm in our county. ”
Speaking of this, Peng Qingcheng seemed to think of something. He still heard of the name "bookworm", but he had never been in direct contact with it, but now he didn't have the heart to care, and asked directly: "What about this woman?"
Peng Qingshan said leisurely: "He is fifteen years old, and his appearance is delicate and refined. Big brother, don't worry, it will definitely be the type you like. ”
Hearing the words "fifteen years old", Peng Qingcheng had already smiled, his favorite thing to play with in his life was this kind of young girl who had no personnel, waiting to be released, young and shy, and would inevitably cry and scream when he did it, the most energetic, he couldn't help but praise me: "Those who know me, the second brother is also!"
Peng Qingshan smiled dumbly, shook his head, and changed the subject: "By the way, big brother, you were attacked in the tea shop that day, have you ever seen the other party?"
Peng Qingcheng's face was full of fat and immediately trembled, and his small eyes released a look of resentment and fear: "At that time, the tea shop was a mess of porridge, and I didn't even notice it. Second brother, you must avenge your eldest brother, catch this sneak attack thief, and cut it with a thousand knives to vent the hatred in my heart. ”
Peng Qingshan's face was straight, and he suddenly said, "Big brother, I have to tell you something." ”
"Huh?"
"Master Empty said, the people who attacked you are not ordinary, and they are not easy to get along with. So, this matter is over, and we don't want to pursue it anymore. ”
"What?"
Peng Qingcheng was stunned: "Second brother, our Peng family wants money and wealth, power and power, and people, how can we be afraid of others......"
"Big brother!"
With a snap, Peng Qingshan's attitude was unprecedentedly serious: "Master Likong is a martial arts master, and his knowledge is extraordinary, so he must be justified in saying this......"
"But the second brother, you are an official, and your uncle is the county master, with an order, the officers and soldiers will move, even if the other party is a master of the rivers and lakes, what kind of wind and waves can be stirred?"
Peng Qingcheng was still unwilling.
Peng Qingshan sighed: "Big brother, the current situation is far from what you can imagine. At present, although the country is unified and the four seas are leveled, there are still undercurrents. For some people, it's better not to offend our Peng family. "There are some words, but they are not easy to say clearly, even if they are said, their eldest brother may not understand.
Peng Qingcheng muttered a few words in his mouth, and finally lowered his head and said, "Okay, second brother, eldest brother listens to you...... But we don't want to provoke him, but the other party still wants to kill me, what should we do?"
Peng Qingshan said: "You can rest assured about this, if this person is determined to kill him, you will die long ago." Anyway, in the near future, you will converge a little, pay attention......"
The latter sentence is actually redundant, with the current physical condition of the eldest brother, he has to be helped when he goes out, and it is impossible to go to the street in the short term, and when this limelight passes, the other party is likely to leave Pengcheng County early.
After some gossip, Peng Qingshan came out of the room, hesitated a little, and still couldn't rest assured: Well, let's go to my uncle to discuss, send more fast arresters as eyeliner, and patrol around, just in case.
