Wang Dafu and Wang Chenxiang came, as did Wang Benchang's wife, Wang You. As soon as he came, Wang Youshi began to howl: "Patriarch, do you care about the Ishii family? This cousin came to the door but was kicked out by them. This doesn't take me as a member of the Wang clan at all!"
What does it mean for the wicked to sue first? Wang Wenhe pointed at Wang Youshi angrily, and said tremblingly, "You still have the face to cry with me. Ask your son and daughter-in-law what good deeds they have done! The Wang clan has completely lost face to them! Shrine!"
Wang Youshi was stunned for a moment, and immediately panicked. Wang Chenxiang walked up to her mother-in-law and said confidently: "Patriarch, you are unfair. Dafu and I also told you that you can buy it with money. It was Shao Yunan who bullied people too much and said It's 10,000 taels, isn't it obvious that he doesn't want to sell it? He would rather sell the money-making formula to Lizheng than to his clansmen. What is wrong with Dafu and I? Dafu and I also want to buy it for our clan. It’s a way to make money, what’s the shame? Aunt Wang’s family made our family almost go to jail, you don’t even say they embarrass our family, we are all for the people, you want to open a shrine, you The heart is too biased."
"You, you..." Wang Wenhe was trembling with anger and his face was pale, but he couldn't refute Wang Chenxiang's words. Wang Benchang also said: "Patriarch, my family's great fortune is for the people of the clan. Wang Dali's family caused such a big disaster, Wang Tianyan and his wife were even arrested, and Wang Zhisong was even ashamed in front of the county magistrate. Why don't you Open the ancestral hall. My family just wanted a prescription for the tribe. If you open the ancestral hall, you won’t be afraid of chilling the hearts of the tribe? You gave Wang Dali’s family three taels of silver to hire people to farm, why didn’t you just give us three taels of silver? Hire someone to go to the land? Just because there is a Tong Shenglang in my family, but there is no one in my family? You are so biased, we will not go to this ancestral hall."
After speaking, Wang Benchang said to his family: "Go home! Your kindness will not be rewarded, go!"
Wang Benchang ignored Wang Wenhe's black face and left with his family. Even the clan elder who wanted to punish him was speechless. When it comes to dealing with Mrs. Wang's family, they are indeed partial everywhere. They really didn't understand what Wang Benchang said. The remaining members of the Wang clan looked at each other in blank dismay. Wang Benchang's words were irritating, but they couldn't refute them. The fact is that the patriarch really favors Mrs. Wang's family because there is a Tong Shenglang in the family.
Father Wang let out a long sigh, looked at the crumbling Wang Wenhe and said, "Patriarch, don't let the clansmen lose their hearts." After saying this with earnestness, Father Wang took away his family members as well. The three clan elders signaled for everyone to disperse, and then one of them said: "Shu Ping, help your father in."
Wang Shuping, who was very aggrieved, helped his father, who looked like he was about to collapse at any time, into the house, and the three elders followed him in. After a while, Wang Chen's howling came from the house. After being splashed with such a big basin of dirty water, they could only endure it. Wang Chenshi was so angry that he wanted to bump his head to death.
The three clan elders asked Wang Shuping to go to Wang Shijing's house, and this matter must be explained clearly. Shao Yunan has "befriended" the county magistrate, and their Wang clan has already lost face in front of the county magistrate. If Shao Yunan mentions this to the county magistrate, it will be serious, and the Wang clan will not think about it in the future If he is in his early years, Wang Zhisong will also suffer.
When Mrs. Wang's family heard that Shao Yun'an had gone to the patriarch's house to make trouble, they all hid in the house because they were already guilty. But the neighbors were kind and eager to tell them what had happened. Originally, Mrs. Wang was quite happy to hear that, but Wang Dafu came to ask for a prescription, but after listening, she heard Wang Chenxiang say that the patriarch should punish his family first, otherwise she would not accept it, and Mrs. Wang was furious. .
This gossip is often spread in a biased way. Although the meaning of the words is similar, if the original words are changed a little, the listeners will have a different understanding. Mrs. Wang wondered what your family would do to my family, and dared to mention Zhisong. She was greedy for that jam recipe, but he didn't let Wang Dafu ask for it! Mrs. Wang immediately dragged Wang Chunxiu to Wang Dafu's house. In the past, Mrs. Wang was always followed by Guo Zhaodi when she went out to play tricks. Now that Guo Zhaodi is in prison, Mrs. Wang can only drag Wang Chunxiu. She is too disadvantaged alone.
Not to mention the quarrel between Mrs. Wang and Wang Dafu's family, the people from the Zhao family and the Sun family saw a joke about the Wang family seriously. The most important thing is that Shao Yun'an, who is so capable, has not been included in the Wang family tree, and he doesn't even recognize himself as a member of the Wang family. Some people secretly said that the Wang family deserved it. Wang Qing is six years old and hasn't entered the family tree yet. Wang Wenhe, the patriarch, only has Wang Zhisong in his eyes and heart. This Wang Zhisong hasn't brought him any benefits yet. Although Wang Chenxiang and Wang Benchang were suspected of perverting right and wrong, their words were not bad, and they even expressed the dissatisfaction in the hearts of many clansmen.
When Wang Shuping came over, Shao Yun'an and Wang Shijing were still as enthusiastic as ever. Wang Shuping was embarrassed and depressed. Shao Yunan took out the prepared chrysanthemum tea and made a cup and put it in front of Wang Shuping. Wang Shuping looked up at the yellow chrysanthemum in the white porcelain cup in surprise.
Wang Shijing said: "This is the chrysanthemum tea made by Yun'an. It has just been made."
Shao Yunan said: "The taste is a bit bitter, Brother Shuping, you can taste it."
Wang Shuping blew on the hot water, took a sip, and surprise appeared in his eyes. The taste is a bit bitter, but also very peculiar. He took another sip, and after swallowing it carefully aftertaste, he said, "It was a bit bitter at first, but it was a bit sweet after drinking it." After taking another sip, he nodded, "It's delicious."
Shao Yunan said: "This is the wild chrysanthemum picked on the mountain. Brother Jing and I didn't have the energy to do it, and everyone was busy with the farming, so I didn't get much. It was originally for Brother Jing and the children to drink. This wild chrysanthemum Put a few slices of licorice on the fire to clear the heat and it tastes better. I'll ask Brother Jing to pack some for you in a while."
"No, no, no." Wang Shuping had the nerve to ask for it. He had never seen this chrysanthemum tea before, so it must have been used by Shao Yunan to make money.
Shao Yun'an glanced at Wang Shijing, and Wang Shijing got up and went out. Chrysanthemum tea is in Wang Qing and Nizi's room. Shao Yunan said: "Brother Shuping, don't blame me for what happened just now. Brother Jing is a member of the Wang clan, so he can't and can't say anything about many grievances. Today someone came to ask for my tea making with a piece of meat and a bag of rice. Fangzi, I want to come here tomorrow without knowing what to get. I want to give it away for free. I’m not boasting. No one in the world knows these prescriptions except me. Even if I don’t lack money, I don’t have such a big measure, let alone my family spends money. There are still plenty of places, and when they come to ask for my cooking skills, I have to ask the patriarch to come forward, otherwise anyone can use the family affection of the clan to suppress our family."
Wang Shuping sighed: "Wang Dafu's family loves to take advantage. Yun'an, my father and I have never paid attention to jam recipes."
Shao Yunan said: "I believe it. But what I said is not nonsense. The husband and wife are indeed accusing me of selling the prescription to the Li Zheng family instead of giving it to the patriarch."
Wang Shuping was so angry that veins popped out on his forehead.
Shao Yun'an said: "Brother Shuping, don't blame me for speaking badly. Why do Wang Dafu and the others dare to say such things? If the patriarch's prestige in the clan is high enough, how dare his family pour dirty water on the patriarch? The next thing Someone also told me. The final result of the patriarch's connivance with the big house is that the clansmen are not afraid of him. Brother Shuping, let me ask, if Wang Zhisong does not pass the exam at all, can the patriarch bear the consequences of his long-standing favoritism. "
Wang Shuping remained silent, frowning. Shao Yun'an went on to say: "At first I planned to use the recipe for jam to make money, but after discussing it with Brother Jing, I decided to sell it, because if it was in our hands, we couldn't protect it at all."
Wang Shuping raised his eyes, and Shao Yun'an said directly: "If we make money with jam, will people from the clan make trouble, will there be people from the big house, will there be trouble from the big house? At that time, how would the patriarch judge? Our family has made money selling stones and has already provoked the envy of the big house. If I hadn’t gone to the county school to ask the teacher to judge, would my family’s money from selling stones and the remaining stones be kept and returned? Say two."
Wang Shuping was very embarrassed, the patriarch was his father.
Wang Shuping couldn't answer, Shao Yun'an went on to say: "For the sake of the peace of Brother Jing and me in the future, and for the peace of mind of Brother Jing and me in the future, I have to hand over the recipe for this jam. But Brother Jing's surname is Wang, and I But it can only be handed over to Lizheng, because only Lizheng can keep our family safe. If I hand over Fangzi to the patriarch, the patriarch may give it to the big house to 'please' Wang Zhisong. Even if it is given to Shuping Brother, you can't protect yourself."
Wang Shuping even felt ashamed to face this family.
"Brother Shuping, if it is not a last resort, Brother Jing will not leave the clan. But the current clan is not only not a shelter for us, but sometimes it is a victim. Brother Jing and I want to live, and we want our two children to stay away from the clan. If our family is hurt, we must find someone who can protect us. The clan cannot protect us, so we can only find Lizheng. This house is the protection talisman for me, brother Jing, brother Qing, and Nizi."
Shao Yun'an said helplessly: "I originally planned to sell this recipe of chrysanthemum tea to my fourth uncle and fourth aunt. With Wang Dafu doing this, the patriarch has no way to deal with people like them, so I hesitated. I don't want fourth uncle and fourth aunt Fourth Aunt didn't earn much money when the time came, but suffered disaster instead."
Wang Shuping asked in surprise: "You want to sell this too? This chrysanthemum tea may make more money than that jam. Yunan, I will persuade him from my father's side. Don't you and Ishii still have the county magistrate to decide? You sell all the houses, how many houses can you sell to? Those who can’t buy them will gossip about you, and you will be even worse.”
Shao Yun'an smiled: "I don't care about everyone, but I must repay those who are kind to my family. Brother Shuping, to be honest, if it wasn't for fear that the patriarch would take my prescription to the big house, this chrysanthemum would I really want to give you the recipe for tea. Brother Jing and I both know that you are for us. Don’t say that I am narrow-minded. If it is burned, it will not let them get a little bit of cheap."
Wang Shuping's mood fluctuated abnormally. Shao Yunan said: "Brother Shuping, even if the patriarch won't reveal the recipe to the big house, I'm also worried that all your hard-earned money will be used to subsidize that side. Even if you don't care, sister-in-law can't bear it all the time." You'd better persuade the patriarch, don't just focus on Wang Zhisong's fame, the family in the big house does not know how to repay, even if Wang Zhisong can be the prime minister, he can bring the Wang family and the patriarch What? I don't want the patriarch to treat the big house in the future, I only want the patriarch to be fair and just."
Wang Shijing came in with a paper bag in his hand. He came over and put the paper bag in front of Wang Shuping, and Wang Shuping immediately smelled the smell of chrysanthemums.
"Brother Shuping, take it back and soak Brother Yan in water, this thing will get rid of the fire."
"No, I want to come back another day."
Wang Shuping refused to take it, Shao Yunan picked it up and stuffed it into his arms: "It's not for you to drink. This stuff clears the liver and eyesight, dispels the wind and clears the heat, it's the most suitable drink for Brother Yan. I heard that he studies very hard."
Wang Shuping pursed his lips and accepted it: "Then I won't be polite to you." After a pause, he said: "You still make this stuff yourself and sell it for money. I haven't seen this even at Grandpa Sun's place." Grandpa Sun knows the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in the county, and the pharmacy will definitely make money buying this stuff."
Shao Yun'an really felt that Wang Shuping and Wang Wenhe were not like father and son, and they were more reasonable. Shao Yun'an smiled and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with Brother Jing again. But Brother Shuping, if someone from the clan comes to ask for a prescription, what should I do? I can't go to the clan leader again."
Wang Shuping immediately turned cold: "Just hit it out. Most of the people who resist are reasonable, and those who are unreasonable don't need to show them face. I will persuade him from my father's side, and the three elders also know how to choose. Otherwise, anyone who has a craft that can make money in the future will be missed."
"It's fine with your words."
Shao Yun'an felt that Wang Shuping was more suitable to be the patriarch.
Wang Shuping left with a pack of wild chrysanthemums, Shao Yunan turned around and smiled at Wang Shijing: "The patriarch will probably be so angry that he vomits blood."
Wang Shijing took him into his arms: "If the patriarch still insists on going his own way, the clansmen will only become more and more alienated from him, and sooner or later something will happen. Fortunately, brother Shuping is sensible."
Shao Yunan breathed a sigh of relief: "Ha, now the Sun and Zhao clans are on our side, and we will have no scruples in doing business in the future." After speaking, Shao Yunan suddenly yelled, "I forgot to It's a very important thing!"
"What's the matter? Don't worry, don't worry." Wang Shijing was taken aback, and quickly hugged his wife with both hands.
"Buying grape seeds!" Shao Yun'an slapped his forehead vigorously, breaking away from Wang Shijing's arms, he was about to rush into the house to write a letter. He has been busy all this time, but he actually forgot such an important matter!
Wang Shijing caught up with him and grabbed him: "Don't worry about my daughter-in-law. I have already asked Brother Yuande to help write a trust letter and send it out to the businessman in the county."
"Huh? When?"
"Before the busy season. Brother Yuande went to the county to deliver jam, and I asked him to write a letter for him. There are businessmen in the county who go there, and they can send the letter for a little money. I didn't say that as long as there are grapes He said that as long as they can get as many rare fruit seeds as possible, if there are tea seeds, they can also get them out. There is a kind of melon called red melon with red flesh. It is sweet and watery when eaten in summer. You are sure I like it. There is also a kind of melon with yellow flesh and many golden stripes on the skin, called golden loofah, which is also very sweet. If we can grow it, you can also see if you can make jam.”
Isn't that watermelon and cantaloupe? !
Shao Yun'an jumped onto Wang Shijing's body and clung to his limbs: "Brother Jing, you are so awesome!" A big cheek popped.
Wang Shijing didn't know what it meant to be powerful, but it must be a good intention. He was very happy that his wife was happy. Just like that, he carried the man into the house and put him on the kang.
"I'm going to boil water, do you want to take a bath?"
"Don't wash it, just wipe it. How long will it take for the letter to reach your comrade?"
"Just your brother who fought."
Comrades... really appropriate.
Wang Shijing: "That depends on how long it takes to go there on the road to trade, maybe a month at the earliest."
"Ah, isn't it at least two months before I can hear back?" The ancient times without express delivery are too inconvenient!
"No rush. If I don't need to keep an eye on the fields and the new house, I'll pick wild chrysanthemums for you. This chrysanthemum tea is delicious, so make more."
"You like it?"
"...to clear the heat and lower the fire, you should drink more."
"...you boring old man!"
"Men Sao? What do you mean?"
Are you old? Wang Shijing stroked his temples. Shao Yun'an dragged him onto the bed: "Just you, who looks honest but is actually a pervert, is Mensao!"
"You are my daughter-in-law."
Wang Shijing does not consider himself a pervert. Isn't it right for him to seduce his own wife
Next door, fortunately you didn't hear the words behind, and you said seriously: "Brother, I will be as good as little daddy in the future."
Wang Qing patted his younger sister's head: "Well, I have to be like my little dad."
Shao Yun'an didn't know that he had become the idol of his two children. At this time, he was being sexually teased by someone.
