A few clan elders just sat down for a while, and soon left.

When they came, they looked amiable, and when they left, they were also light and light, but after they left, Wang Wending looked depressed, and Wang Jun was even worse, his face was like ashes.

The clan elders came, not mentioning what happened in Baili Courtyard last night, nor asking Wang Jun whether he liked men or women, but chatting with the two about the origin and glorious history of the Taiyuan Wang family, especially mentioning the spirit of self-improvement of the ancestors, and finally mentioning the issue of the New Year's sacrifice.

Wang Jun noticed that from the time several clan elders entered the house to the time they left, the tea and snacks in front of them did not move at all.

"Father, what do they mean by that?" Wang Jun said with a pale face.

Wang Wending sighed: "Don't you understand, these old immortals are hinting at us, and they have shamed the Taiyuan Wang family, if we don't handle it well, the New Year's Festival may not take us, do you understand?" ”

The theme of the annual festival is to sacrifice to the ancestors, such an important event does not bring the Jihong Wang, this is to draw a clear line with the Jihong Wang?

Wang Jun gasped: "Father, no... This is serious, right? “

"Those foolish people outside, not only listen to the wind and rain, but also three people become tigers, I don't know how ugly things can be said, many people also say that the ranking of the surname Cui is higher than the surname Wang, after the cancellation of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, although the major clans are declining, but the decline of the Taiyuan Wang family is faster than the Cui family, they say that the Taiyuan Wang family in order to hug Cui's thigh, nothing cares, and the Taiyuan Wang family is worthless, how can those clan elders swallow this breath."

After a pause, Wang Wending said with some bitterness: "In fact, the Cui family and the Wang family have a lot of secret fights in the court, Ruizong Li Dan with the help of his son, the second time on the throne, on the issue of establishing the prince, the person supported by the Boling Cui family is the third son Li Longji, that is, today's son, and the Taiyuan Wang family bet on the eldest son Li Chengqi, on the issue of the crown prince, there are a lot of open and secret battles between the Cui and Wang clans, and it has been proved that Cui's vision is better than our Wang family, fortunately, Li Chengqi has a very good relationship with His Majesty, and His Majesty has not blamed us, But in recent years, it has really declined. ”

"This joint marriage was originally an opportunity to alleviate the contradictions between the two races, but I didn't expect it..."Wang Wending couldn't go on.

It's that the Jihong Wang clan doesn't care about reputation, but the Wang clan of other branches wants it.

Wang Jun's face was a little pale, and he said with a disgruntled face: "Father, this, this matter really can't be saved?" ”

"When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic" Wang Wending said with some hatred: "If there is no Xinghualou, maybe there will be a slight turnaround, but that kind of thing happened, with the practice of Boling Cui's family, I am afraid that I will not be able to tolerate you." ”

If it is a woman in a partial house or a side line, the Boling Cui family will grit their teeth and endure it, but Cui Lushu is a woman in the family of the big house, and her eldest father Cui Yushi is like a jewel to her, and he will definitely not marry his granddaughter to a discredited person, and it is better for the Wang family to withdraw from the marriage than to be divorced.

A tree lives a skin, a person lives a face, and the reputation of the family is more important than life.

......

"Bang" "Bang Bang"

Listening to the sound of various utensils being tattered in the study, the subordinates in the Boling Cui Yuan Mansion were trembling one by one, and those who couldn't hide stood tremblingly, and those who could hide were hiding far away.

Cui Yuan, the head of the family, is in a big rage, who is not afraid?

After betrothing his granddaughter, Cui Yuan was very satisfied, as long as Lu Shu found a good family, he could have a wish.

I was waiting for my granddaughter and son-in-law to come to celebrate the tea, but I didn't expect two bad news to come suddenly: granddaughter Lushu's reputation was damaged, and the future grandson-in-law Wang Jun was disgraced.

A beautiful thing that he thought was very happy turned into a farce that was difficult to get off the stage, Cui Yuan went on the spot, swept the teapot, teacup, and four treasures of the study on the desk to the ground, and scolded loudly: "Damn, really damn it, I really shouldn't have been soft-hearted that day, let go of the Tian Shenu surnamed Zheng, and let him ruin the old man's big thing." ”

In order to welcome back Lu Shu, Cui Yuan made proper arrangements, about how to deal with Zheng Peng, in fact, Cui Yuan was entangled in his heart for a long time, and finally let it go gently.

If it weren't for Zheng Peng, his only son would have to be a violent corpse wilderness, and his granddaughter would also fall into the fire kang, and his granddaughter also had special feelings for Zheng Peng.

Cui Yuan never dreamed that a small cheap businessman abandoned by his family would grow to the point where he was impressed in less than three years.

In the study, except for Cui Yuan, the two henchmen Cui Yong and Cardinal stood with their hands down and bowed their heads silently.

In this case, nothing is appropriate, it is better to do nothing.

Cui Yong is a distant nephew of Cui Yuan, his parents were killed by robbers during his travels, Cui Yuan took pity on his life experience, took him back to raise, cultivated him as his right and left hand, and served as the chief manager in the house.

As for the cardinal, the henchman cultivated in the family slave is strong in martial arts and loyal.

"Uncle, why don't I go and get him back, so that you can breathe a good breath." Cui Yong said cautiously.

"Catch? How to catch? Cui Yuan said violently: "This Tian Shenu, I don't know how he confuses Your Majesty, gave him a Hebei Provincial Overseer Envoy, with the emperor's order, Qincha, he is a hornet's nest, who dares to stab him?" ”

"It's... Why don't you send someone to do him secretly? Cui Yong's eyes flashed with a trace of ruthlessness, and he said grimly: "If you dare to ruin Shu'er's reputation, even if he dies ten times, it is not enough to atone. ”

The cardinal on the side said lightly: "Manager Cui, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult, after Zheng Peng said the wrong thing in the Belle Courtyard, he ran to the Anton Governor's Mansion the next day and didn't come out, so he can't kill the Governor's Mansion, right?" ”

Cui Yuan sneered and said, "He's smart, Cardinal, do you think Zheng Peng is suspicious?" ”

Cardinal is in charge of intelligence, and immediately said when he heard this: "Back to the master, after Wang Gongzi and Miss were engaged, Cardinal made people pay more attention to the affairs of Taiyuan City, especially about Wang Jungongzi, everything had to be reported, and no evidence was found to prove that Zheng Peng was the driving force behind the scenes, but he was indeed the most suspicious." ”

"Tell me why." Cui Yuan said expressionlessly.

"Zheng Peng took the initiative to find the Jihong Wang family, opened the way with generous gifts, and explained and clarified on the grounds that the Wang family had a lot of suspicions about Miss, and when he appeared, those incredible things happened later."

Cui Yuan continued to ask, "Explanation? Clarify? Is there really such a rumor? ”

"Yes, the slave has asked people to trace the source of the rumors, but they haven't found the answer yet." The cardinal replied respectfully.

"What happened to this kind of thing, what was the reaction of the Jihong Wang clan? What is the reflection of the Taiyuan Wang? ”

"Jihong Wang's attitude is undecided, but rumors are flying all over the outside, Taiyuan Wang's family is very dissatisfied with Wang Wending, most of them think that Wang Wending is for glory and wealth, and he does not hesitate to exchange Wang's face, and several clan elders also join forces to put pressure on him, for the reputation of Taiyuan Wang, Wang Wending may make a decision that is unfavorable to the master."

Cui Yuan saw something, his eyes glared, and he sneered: "He dares?" ”

The cardinal bowed his head and did not speak, as a slave, he only had to obey orders, as for what he wanted to do, that was what the master was worried about.

Cui Yuan had a gloomy face, his hands behind his back, pacing around in the study, and said to himself in a half-loud voice: "Okay, good, Zheng Peng, the old man has underestimated you, a Tianshenu, you are ruthless." ”

"Uncle, what are we going to do now?" Cui Yong asked cautiously.

"Zheng Peng has the emperor's order, he has seen the old man's methods, he will definitely hide in the governor's mansion in the short term, the matter of Taiyuan, must not let the young lady know, the old man is waiting here, see how the Taiyuan Wang family gives the old man an explanation, or see, what kind of demon moth they are going to produce." Cui Yuan said expressionlessly.

After meeting Zheng Peng that day, Cui Yuan felt that Zheng Peng would not give up easily, but he didn't expect that Zheng Peng would make such a big move.

Although no evidence was found, Cui Yuan decided in his heart that it was definitely Zheng Peng's masterpiece.

It's amazing, it's interlocking, it can be said that everything that can be used has been used, and the two famous families of King Cui are played between the applause, and they can quietly retreat, I don't know why, in addition to anger, Cui Yuan has more appreciation for Zheng Peng in his heart.

can do it so seamlessly, you can't do it without a little ability, especially a bold and careful person like Zheng Peng who dares to break the routine, it is rare.

"Understood, uncle"

"Understood, master."

Cui Yong and Cardinal hurriedly responded.

As soon as Cui Yuan's voice changed, he immediately said: "Cardinal, Taiyuan's intelligence, send more people, and also, keep an eye on Zheng Peng's kid for me, the old man must know his whereabouts every step." ”

"Yes, master."

The Belle Courtyard incident and the Xinghualou incident were said to be the "courtyard building" incident by the good deeds, although the Taiyuan Wang family wanted to try their best to dilute it, but the fame of the Boling Cui family and the Taiyuan Wang family was too great, for these two veritable famous families, some trivial things were also talked about on weekdays, and now such a hot thing came out, and it soon spread to the uproar, saying everything.

Some people say that the Boling Cui clan has bad intentions, some people say that the Taiyuan Wang family is uncertain, and some people say that the relationship between famous families is disordered.

The story of the Cui family's daughter's disobedience to women's morals and the Wang family's habit of breaking sleeves became more and more mysterious, and the more outrageous it became, and in the end, many people couldn't sit still.

The first person who couldn't sit still was the Taiyuan Wang.

Jihong Wang's family, in order to cling to the powerful, not only married the defeated flowers and defeated willows and went home, Wang Jun also let people find out in public that there was a good Longyang, dragging down the Taiyuan Wang family's face, no matter what, how to give an explanation to the engaged Boling Cui family.

Wang Wen'an is Wang Wending's cousin, who is responsible for the grange and property of the Jihong Wang family on weekdays, has a flexible head and can speak well.

"Uncle, someone from Taiyuan is here." Cui Yuan was reading a book in the study, and Cui Yong suddenly came in to report.

Something so big happened, and someone finally came.

Cui Yuan closed the book and asked casually, "Who is here?" ”

"Wang Wen'an!"

"Is that him?" Cui Yuan raised his eyebrows, and said with some displeasure: "The Jihong Wang clan is really sincere, and he sent a person who is full of businessman's taste." ”

Since he is married, Cui Yuan knows the situation of the Jihong Wang family well, Wang Wen'an is the cousin of the head of the family, Wang Wending, but he is responsible for the trading of the output of the land, and in the final analysis, he is a low-level small businessman.

Cui Yuan looks down on him the most, and he is a cheap businessman.

When I heard that the Wang family was coming, I thought that it was not Wang Wending who came in person, at least it was Wang Jun's Laozi Wang Ju who came to explain, but I didn't expect that it was Wang Wen'an who was sent.

said that he was a cousin, but in ancient times, the status of a cousin was not as good as that of a confidant housekeeper.

Cui Yong handed over a gift list with both hands: "Uncle, this is the gift list brought by Wang Wen'an." ”

Cui Yuan took it and looked at it, and his brows furrowed again: they were all some field outputs and some ordinary gifts, worth about 100 yuan, which seemed very decent, but this was the first time that the two families came to the door after being engaged, and they were obviously not sincere.

"What about others?" Cui Yuan asked a little nonchalantly.

In ancient times, hierarchical treatment was emphasized, just like in later generations, foreign countries sent a minister to investigate, and the country would send a minister to take over, which was called the same level reception, and now the Wang family sent a person with a very low status to Cui Mansion, and he opened his mouth to see Cui Yuan, and Cui Yuan was a little unhappy.

"Because he was engaged, he didn't want to snub him, so he was brought to Tingyuxuan and let people serve tea and snacks."

Cui Yuan nodded: "Go, just say that the old man has something to do, let him wait for a while." ”

Ji Hong Wang's family is not sincere enough, and Cui Yuan also has to put on a show.

At this time, Wang Wen'an, who was sitting in Tingyuxuan, waited for nearly two hours, and drank a pot of fragrant tea into boiled water, and then waited for Cui Yuan, who was late.

"It turned out that Wen An was here, he was busy with business, and you have been waiting for a long time." Cui Yuan said as soon as he came in.

This is Cui's Mansion, not a yamen, is there so much business to be busy? Obviously became a family member, he opened his mouth to say anything official, not only rude but also like to show off, which is really embarrassing.

Wang Wen'an was unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face, and said respectfully: "Don't dare, it's right to disturb your in-laws." ”

Cui Yuan didn't answer this sentence, sat down at the top of the position, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen'an, sit down and talk slowly." ”

The two sat down, and Wang Wenan found that Cui Yuan didn't speak while drinking tea, hesitated, and quickly said with a smile: "In-laws..."

"Brother Wen'an, the two children haven't visited the church yet, the word in-laws, let's talk about it later, if you don't mind, just call me Haobai." Cui Yuan said unhurriedly.

Wang Wen'an's face changed, but he echoed and said: "This makes sense, then so-and-so will call Brother Haobai." ”

"Wen'an's trip, I don't know what's going on?" Cui Yuan didn't bother to greet this kind of little person, and asked directly.

Otherwise, Lu Shu and Wang Jun exchanged Geng posts, Cui Yuan just didn't want to see him.

Wang Wenan didn't expect Cui Yuan to be so direct, originally he wanted to get acquainted with the relationship and then discuss, but when he heard Cui Yuan ask so directly, he hesitated, and finally said with a reluctant smile: "This time I came to the door, in fact, to explain some unpleasant things that have happened recently, so as not to estranged the two clans." ”

Cui Yuan frowned: Another explanation??
