Chapter 5: The Abomination of Red Dust
But it turned out that after Meng Xuan returned home, he had already changed the clothes he usually wore, and he forgot to take the broken silver in his arms, after all, this time it was just to return the bowl, and then again, he was a passable character, and he usually didn't need too much silver, and when he went down the mountain, he only brought less than ten taels of silver on his body, and he had spent almost it.
"Do you dare to smash someone's shop for ten taels of silver? Do you know how much silver the things in this store are worth......
Meng Xuan withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, and decided to bluff Jiang Yuechen from the momentum.
"You...... You said...... How much...... Only...... It's as much as ......."
Jiang Yuechen stammered, two of his teeth were removed, and his speech had begun to leak.
"That's it, the things in this store have been smashed by you, at least I have to let you accompany a hundred taels, since Miss Xiao Qiao owes you ten taels of silver, then you take out ninety taels, this matter is so-so, next time I see you here, I will beat you!"
“...... Good...... Good ......"
Jiang Yuechen said as he reached for the money bag on his waist.
"Hmph, stay all of them, get out!"
Meng Xuan ripped his money bag from Jiang Yuechen's waist and threw him away like garbage.
"Young Master...... Young Master......"
The minions of the Jiang family hurriedly surrounded him and helped him up.
"Go ......"
Jiang Yuechen glanced at Meng Xuan viciously, but he didn't dare to say anything, and turned around and left with a group of minions.
"This Young Master Meng is really powerful, Young Master Jiang learned the art from Master Leng Seven Apprentices in the Sword Mansion, and it is said that he is also a master, in the hands of Young Master Meng, he is like a little chicken, there is no room to fight back......"
"Hey, you don't want to think about it, Young Master Meng has studied in Xianmen for seven years, no matter how hard you don't work hard, it's not something that ordinary people can compare......"
"Ouch, it is said that Young Master Meng is at the bottom, and he is so powerful, so how strong does Young Master Xiao have to be now......"
The onlookers around were talking, and they dispersed as they spoke.
"Won't you tell my father about the lack of silver?
After returning to the store, Meng Xuan said a little angrily.
He knew that his father often helped Qiao Yue'er's mother and daughter, and no matter what, he shouldn't even go to credit for medicine.
"I ...... I'm really ...... There's no way......"
Qiao Yue'er was drunk by Meng Xuan, tears rolled in her eyes, she turned around and quietly wiped them away.
Meng Xuan was stunned, knowing that she must have something unspeakable, sighed, and asked her carefully.
Qiao Yue'er refused to say it at first, but later, she was still asked by Meng Xuan.
Hearing this, Meng Xuan's heart couldn't help but rise with anger.
But it turned out that since Meng Xuan went to Xianmen to learn art, Master Meng often sent some silver taels to the mother and daughter of the Qiao family, Aunt Shi saw it, although she was displeased, but after all, she was afraid of provoking Meng Xuan, who was still in Xianmen at the time, and she didn't say anything, but just a month ago, the news that Meng Xuan was expelled from Xianmen was reported back to Sixiang City, and Aunt Shi immediately revealed her true nature, and did not allow Master Meng to help the mother and daughter with half a copper.
Half a month ago, Qiao Yue'er's mother's illness worsened and she urgently needed silver taels to buy medicine, she wanted to beg Master Meng, but she bumped into Aunt Shi at the door, and was sneered at by her, and scolded mercilessly, extremely bitter. After all, Qiao Yue'er was just a teenage girl's family, how could she bear it, she didn't even see Master Meng, so she had to return home empty-handed and cried bitterly.
In desperation, although she knew that the Jiang family was not easy to get along with, she had no choice but to take the medicinal herbs on credit.
As a result, she was really calculated by Jiang Yuechen, obviously it was only one tael of silver medicinal materials, and she was forced to make a profit of ten taels, and now she brought a vicious slave to arrest her, if it weren't for Meng Xuan just here, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Hmph, Aunt Shi actually did such a thing, do you really think that I was expelled from the Xianmen and was useless?"
Meng Xuan secretly hated in his heart, he didn't expect Aunt Shi to do such a thing, and almost caused Qiao Yue'er to fall into hell.
"You use these silver first, the store doesn't have to open, concentrate on taking care of your aunt at home, although her illness is gone, but after all, she has been sick for too long, her body is too weak, and she needs to recuperate for a while, you don't have to worry about other things, I will arrange it!"
Meng Xuan left Jiang Yuechen's money bag in the tofu shop, and returned to Meng's mansion in contemplation.
At this time, Master Meng had already gotten up and was smoking hookah in the room. Meng Xuan went to his room and said what he thought, he was going to take a sum of silver, buy a farm for the Qiao family, and then set up a few shops, and then ask a housekeeper to take care of the business, so that Qiao's mother and daughter don't have to show up again, although it is not as good as the previous family business, after all, they can live a stable life.
When Master Meng heard this, he hesitated and said: "This is about three thousand taels of silver, our Meng family can afford it, but now the family's business is taken care of by your eldest brother, such a large amount of silver, he has to nod his head before he can get it...... In this way, when your eldest brother comes back, I will go and tell him that we are also friends with the Qiao family, and we still have to help with this favor!"
Meng Xuan nodded, since his father had spoken, he didn't ask anymore, anyway, Qiao Yue'er now has the money bag he snatched from Jiang Yuechen, there are no ninety taels in it, but twenty or thirty taels are there, which is enough to spend for a while, as for the matter of buying family property for the Qiao family, it only needs to be completed before he leaves Sixiang City, and there is no hurry at this time.
After breakfast, a family member came to say that the eldest young master had given a letter and would rush back before evening.
Master Meng was very happy, so he instructed the family to order a banquet and prepare for a family reunion in the evening.
Meng Xuan also missed the big brother a little, when he had not yet entered the immortal gate, he had a good relationship with the eldest brother, after all, he looked smaller than the eldest brother at that time, but in fact, he was an old soul who had crossed over in his body, many times, these two brothers seemed to be the eldest brother protecting the younger brother, but in fact, they had always been the younger brother coaxing the eldest brother to play, and the relationship naturally could not be wrong.
It's just that he later entered the fairy gate, and after seven years, I don't know what the eldest brother has become now.
Before evening, he sat in the hall with Master Meng, waiting for the eldest brother to come back.
However, I waited left and right, and waited until sunset, when the lights were on, and I still didn't see the eldest young master come back.
Master Meng was a little uneasy, so he sent his family several times to inquire, although it is now a peaceful world, he rarely heard of any big demons nearby, but he is still worried that his eldest son was taken by monsters, Qiao Yue'er's father was on the way home to receive a payment, was taken away by the monsters of Heimu Mountain, and the Qiao family ended up in a ruined family.
After several inquiries, the family only said that he didn't see a figure, and Master Meng was restless and worried.
It wasn't until halfway through the hour that the wine and food were heated several times, and then I saw my eldest brother return home drunk.
Master Meng was furious, and when he went up, he scolded: "Don't you know that your brother has returned? We have been waiting for you for so long, but where have you gone to drink with people? Even if you go to drink, can't you send someone to deliver the letter?"
"Who am I going to drink with?"
The eldest brother Meng Shan caught fire, pointed at Meng Xuan's nose and scolded: "This waste, let people drive out from Xianshan, let our Meng family follow the embarrassment, and when I came back, I was still uneasy, and I actually beat the young master of the Jiang family! Who do you say I drank with? I went to make amends to the young master of the Jiang family, and as soon as I entered the city, the Jiang family stopped me, only saying that this waste injured the young master of the family, and I was going to sue the official, if I hadn't drunk a stomach of wine and apologized, the yacha would have gone to the door in the morning!"
Meng Xuan looked at the big brother of the big thunder and didn't say a word.
He doesn't know whether this big brother is really drunk or fake, really angry or fake angry, but a mouthful of "waste", mercilessly, obviously the feelings he accumulated by deliberately befriending him back then have become very weak, seven years is enough to change a person's heart.
"You...... You...... What do you say your brother is?"
Master Meng actually knew that Meng Xuan had injured Jiang Yuechen, but he never mentioned it, and at this time, when he heard his eldest son scolding Meng Xuan for being a waste, he was unhappy in his heart, and his hands trembled with anger.
"Hmph, it's a waste, don't you want people to say it?"
Aunt Shi walked out of the room, took a towel from the hand, wiped Meng Shan's face, and said in a weird manner.
"There's a reason why I beat the young master of the Jiang family, didn't he tell you?"
Meng Xuan said lightly, suppressed his anger, and picked up a glass of stuffy wine to drink.
"What's the reason?
Meng Shan rushed into the room, slapped the wine in Meng Xuan's hand, and scolded: "Look at the young master of the Xiao family, and then look at you, what face do you have to enter this family? People have become official disciples of Xianshan, and they still treat people kindly, who in the entire Sixiang City doesn't praise him for being good? What about you? The waste who was removed from the list actually beat the young master of the Jiang family for a tofu seller, why are you so capable?"
"But it's not, hmph, what kind of person is looking for a woman of what kind, it's not enough to stuff silver every day, and I still beat people for her, and I don't inquire, the young master of the Jiang family, what a noble person, if you hurt someone, can you afford to pay for it?"
Aunt Shi also followed to the side, and her words were even more mean and bitter.
