Chapter twenty-ninth
On the street in front of Yue Mansion, after Sizhen, there were endless cars and horses, almost completely blocking the huge road.
When the old man was driven out to welcome the guests, the old man Yu Er and the third master Yu San were facing such a scene of a crowd of guests. Thinking of the old man saying before, the sudden serious illness that caused chaos was a mess, he was pretending to be a little itchy.
However, the eldest wife ordered them to inquire that day, but they only heard that many people in the court learned that their father was sick and that they would celebrate. But if they wanted to tell me how the old man was sick and what the political enemy wanted to do, they tried their best but had no clue.
Therefore, seeing that more and more third-rank officials are coming to the door, the two brothers are becoming more and more cautious, and they are no longer daring to be an old man.
Otherwise, the old man would spread invitations in a crazy way, and these imperial officials would be so easy to enjoy? Many of them were political enemies and enemies!
At the gate are two masters of the Yue family. In front of the Wufu Hall where guests are hosted, Yue Qianqiu and others are the younger generation who are the doormen.
Of course, it was still a bit too much to say that the doorman was a little too much. They didn't care about the guests coming to make curtains. For example, Yue Qianqiu just had to bow to someone with a smile on his face. Although his cheeks were a little sore, he could still tolerate it as long as he didn't act as a kowtow worm.
Among the fourth generation of Yue Mansion, only one of the oldest Yue Xiuyi came. However, Yue Xiuyi stood beside his father Yue Tingzhong, Yue Qianqiu was determined to ask him what happened to Yan Xu before, but he couldn't find a good opportunity. Just when he continued to perfunctory the guests, he suddenly heard a sneer.
"Wufutang... the name given by the old man Yue is really shallow."
He was so mean, how could Yue Qianqiu still not hear the naked contempt and disdain in it?
Seeing the third-generation elder brother Yue Tingzhong, who was asking for leave today, showed some hesitation when he heard this, as if he didn't dare to come forward to argue. Even if others were indignant, they would not dare to stand up to see the situation. He realized that the person who came was afraid that his official position would be high, and he couldn't help but quickly settled it up.
But before he could speak, a clear voice came from the side: "Shangshu Wu is such a bad word. The Shangshu Hongfan chapter says: Five blessings are one called longevity, two is wealth, three is Kangning, four is You love virtue, and five is to test the end of life. In the past, Jizi used the five blessings to persuade the king, and this is the great way, how can he say it is shallow?"
Yue Qianqiu knew that the answer was Yue Xiuyi after hearing the voice, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, he has also read the Four Books and Five Classics in Hemingxuan for the past three years. With his good brains to remember numbers and maps, he has also ate a lot of things. But no matter how you look at it, he, like the old man, is not interested in the Analects of Confucius and the Spring and Autumn Period.
So this show of Yuexiu was just right, but it was really worse than him.
Of course, the most important thing is that Yue Xiuyi called out this person's identity. This is actually Wu Renyuan, the unpopular Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice!
Yue Qianqiu looked at the person carefully. He saw that he was in his early fifties, with a slightly white hair in his temples. He was not wearing official uniforms at this time, and his body was pine and green, cocoon silk robe, black cloth shoes, and a Tang scarf on his head. He had a long face, a small eyes, and a rigid expression. Just from this appearance, a stereotyped to a little mean breath came to his face, and he was more like an old pedan who specialized in hitting students in a private school.
After hearing Yue Xiuyi's words, the Wu Shangshu looked even more unhappy.
Yue Tingzhong noticed this, glared at Yue Xiuyi fiercely, and then quickly met him: "Shangshu Wu forgives his sins, and his son is ignorant..."
"Ignorance? Haha, the Yue family is really a queen, so smart!" Wu Renyuan simply narrowed his eyes, but he ignored Yue Tingzhong's attempt to make a comeback. He held his head up and went straight to Wufu Hall, but ignored the others at all.
Seeing this, Yue Tingzhong shouted at Yue Xiuyi, "You did a good thing!" Then, he turned around and hurriedly chased into Wufu Hall.
Although there were a few of his adult younger brothers in there, Wu Renyuan was different from other senior officials. He really didn't know what the old man was crazy about, so he invited this political enemy he had never dealt with to his home!
Yue Qianqiu saw Yue Xiuyi standing there, and after a moment he drooped his head, turned around and ran behind the house. He was standing at the edge of the house and was too lazy to say hello to others, and quietly flashed. When he chased him from the other side, he was blocking Yue Xiuyi.
Seeing the little guy's sobbing look, he said angrily: "Why are you crying? It's not you who is wrong!"
When Yue Xiu thought of Yue Qianqiu cursing Qiu Chuan and Yu Zeyun that day, he was so angry that he could not resist it. Today he was just defending Wu Renyuan with the right reason, but he was criticized by his father so much that he felt so wronged.
At this time, when he heard Yue Qianqiu's words not the one who was wrong, he couldn't help but cry out and rushed over. Yue Qianqiu originally wanted to hide, but when he heard the little guy blurting out his mouth, Uncle Jiu, and then he whined and cried endlessly. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and turn back to the adult, and scolded him with a stern voice.
"Your father is an official in the court. Although Shangshu Wu is not his boss, he is easily worn with small shoes, so he has to comfort this old guy who is not very good at speaking and has not yet been angry. He can only say a few words to you on his face, which can be regarded as giving someone an explanation. But you ran away like this, and others saw it, and even thought you were not even as angry as you said a few words! Stop crying, be careful that your aunt scolds you!"
Maybe this is indeed useful, maybe the words "Grandma" are scared by the little guy who has always feared his grandmother like a tiger. Yue Xiuyi immediately took two steps back and sniffed hard, and even used his sleeve to wipe his tears.
Yue Xiuyi quickly pulled the person and stuffed a handkerchief over. When he saw Yue Xiu's eyes were red from crying, his snot flowing down. In a short while, he ruined his handkerchief into moldy dried vegetables. He suddenly remembered that the little guy was lying on his shoulder and cried, and quickly turned his head to look at his shoulder.
Needless to say, this new dress that was just on the upper body today was wet on the shoulders, and the water marks seemed to be visible.
Following Yue Qianqiu's gaze, Yue Xiuyi also found the mess he had caused. He was immediately ashamed of being scolded by his father and was just crying, but he hugged Yue Qianqiu and cried, leaving such clear traces. Where did he put his face in the future?
The most important thing is that this is the clothes specially customized for Yue Qianqiu for today's apprenticeship banquet...
Yue Qianqiu originally planned to ignore this little thing, but then he thought that there might be someone like Wu Renyuan who was mean and picky, so he blew: "It's okay, grandpa has made two sets in total. I'll go back to Qingfen Pavilion to change it later. But you, don't forget what you promised in front of me last time!"
I thought Yue Qianqiu had to laugh at him at least, but I didn't expect that he would not mention his shame just now. Yue Xiu thought about his contempt for Yue Qianqiu in the past, and he felt very ashamed. However, he was also a little confused about what Yue Qianqiu said now.
"After returning from Tongtai Temple, my grandmother detained me in the room and was not allowed to go out. I tried her tone, but I was scolded so much that I couldn't raise my head." Yue Xiu became more and more guilty as he said, and whispered, "So I didn't find anything."
Since the eldest wife refused to say it, there was definitely something strange behind Yan Xu...
Yue Qianqiu touched his chin and pondered for a while, and finally patted Yue Xiuyi on the shoulder and said, "Okay, forget it if you didn't find out. In this way, you go back to Qingfen Pavilion with me, I'll change my clothes, and apply it to your eyes. If you don't get revenge, you won't be a gentleman. Let's turn back and let that Shangshu Wu suffer a loss!"
