Chapter 68: Mr. Shi was in a panic, and Master Shi was furious
Early in the morning, Shi Hong, the third son of the Shi family, was pushed awake by his servant while he was still in a hazy sleep.
"Why don't you let me sleep easily so early in the morning?" Shi Hong muttered dissatisfiedly, turned over and continued to sleep.
"Sir, please wake up quickly, something big has happened." The boy continued to push him.
"What's the big deal?" Shi Hong rubbed his eyes and sat up, a piece of paper was immediately stuffed into his hand.
"What is this?!" Shi Hong's eyes widened and he immediately woke up.
"Sir, please go out and take a look. The streets are full of stickers now. I just went out and saw many people on the street looking at them." The boy said anxiously.
Mr. Shi jumped out of bed, gathered his servants and went out. He didn't even bother to go to Mrs. Shi Hou to wake up in the morning and dusk, which was necessary every day.
As soon as we got outside, we saw that the walls on the street where the Hou Mansion was located were all covered in white.
Some people were shaking their heads while reading, while others were laughing.
Shi Hong was so angry that he squeezed into the nearest crowd and tore off the paper on the wall.
Most of the people nearby are neighbors and all know Shi Hong.
Knowing that the real protagonist in the story was coming, they all kept silent, but their eyes exuded various unknown or joking smiles.
After tearing up the nearby paper, Shi Hong took the boys to tear it up elsewhere.
Unfortunately, there were so many pieces of paper that they couldn't tear them all apart.
What's more, there is something fun to watch, so I will protect the paper from being torn.
They didn't dare to shout loudly, so they could only be careful and smile, and tear it off when someone was unprepared.
"Who did this? Who did this?" In a dark corner, Shi Hong barked like a mad dog.
"Sir, could it be Miss Jiang?"
The young man murmured, "I'm afraid she will be annoyed if you keep denying her a status. If you ruin your reputation, who from a high-ranking and powerful family will marry you? At that time, you just don't want to go to her house.
It’s time to propose marriage.”
"It can't be her. How could she know so much about me?"
Shi Hong said angrily, "Whether it is her or not, I don't care to check now. We will wait until these papers are disposed of. But don't let the master, wife and Jia family see it."
It's just that God didn't grant his wish, or in other words, it was impossible for Mu Nanfeng to grant his wish.
He seemed to know very well the route that Lord Shi took to go up and down. There were so many posts on that road that it was difficult for Lord Shi not to see them.
As Mr. Shi got older, he no longer liked riding horses when he went to court, and instead sat in a sedan chair.
Sitting in the sedan, Shi Hou felt that the outside of the sedan was much busier than before.
The streets were filled with the sounds of people reading books, chatting and laughing, mixed with neat and regular sighs.
It's just that he was a little far away, so he couldn't hear clearly.
"Go and have a look, is there anything interesting happening?" Shi Hou, who is still curious even though he is old, ordered.
The entourage was also curious. Why did they see a bunch of people huddled together after a while, laughing at the writing on the wall? What was it that made everyone so excited?
Following the Marquis's instructions, a young attendant who was usually the most trusted dismounted immediately and stepped forward to squeeze into a reading circle.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze! I'm not talking about your bastard son. Why are you so anxious?" Everyone shouted dissatisfied.
The attendant never bothered to reply, he only glanced at the writing paper on the wall, his face changed color, and he tore the paper off casually.
"What are you doing?" The people who were listening became anxious, "Does this paper belong to you, or does this bastard belong to you? Why did you tear it away?"
Another person said: "Hey, I can't help but think it belongs to them, let him tear it away. This paper is all over the street, let's go look elsewhere."
So everyone dispersed in a hurry and ran to another place to listen to the story.
The entourage returned to the marquis's sedan and stood aside with a pale face, saying nothing.
"What on earth is going on that makes me happy?" Mr. Shi was very interested.
"This... it's better that the Marquis doesn't know." The attendant did not dare to say what he saw.
"Speak quickly! What are you still hesitating about? Is there anything else I can't know about the common people?" Shi Hou became anxious.
"Then... Mr. Hou, let's see for yourself."
The attendant hesitated and handed the piece of paper torn from the wall into the sedan, "Master Marquis, it was not very bright when I went to court. I only saw patches of white on the wall, and I didn't look carefully.
Clear. If I had known it was this, I should have torn it off..."
A moment later, Shi Hou's deep roar came from the sedan: "You bastard!"
I don’t know whether you are calling the protagonist of this story a bastard, or you are calling the person who made up this story a bastard?
He was excitedly waiting to hear the story, but unexpectedly, what he saw was his son's ridiculous love story.
"Master Marquis, do you want to tear off all those papers?" the attendant asked cautiously.
"As soon as I tear up the paper, others will recognize our sedan. It's not enough to embarrass me."
Shi Hou said angrily, "I'll leave first, you stay and tear it up quickly. The less people see it, the better."
The furious Lord Shi returned to the Hou Mansion and shouted as soon as he got out of the sedan chair: "Get the big stick, get that little beast!"
Seeing him angry, his servants did not dare to say anything and hurried to find Shi Hong.
Unfortunately, Shi Hong was not at home at all. The boys searched the entire Hou Mansion but could not find him.
After asking the gatekeeper, I found out that Shi Hong had gone out in a hurry with his servant early in the morning.
"Look for it! Go and find it for me! Even if you search the whole capital, you still have to find it for me. Once you find it, you will use all kinds of methods and beat me to death with sticks!"
Marquis Shi didn't express his anger at all, he was so suffocated that he almost lost his breath, "I think my Shi family, a scholarly family with a century-old family, attaches great importance to etiquette and observance of etiquette. I also often teach my younger nephews to understand etiquette and obey the rules. How can I teach them so well?"
An evil obstacle?"
The boys were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, so they immediately dispersed and went to look for Master Shi.
Shi Hong, who was tearing up the paper in despair, saw the boy next to his father coming to find him, and for a moment he felt like he was dead.
"Father, do you know?" Shi Hong grabbed the boy's hand and asked eagerly.
Because he usually not only flatters and agrees in front of Mrs. Shihou, but also does the same in front of his own father.
He did not dare to neglect these close servants around his father. He often gave some money and gifts to deliberately build interpersonal relationships.
Therefore, most of these boys are good friends with him.
"Third Master, you have caused a big disaster this time. I want you to be taken back and beaten to death with sticks," the boy said anxiously.
"How dare I go back at this time?"
Shi Hong grabbed the boy and begged, "Fu Mao, you are the person that my father trusts the most. Please go back and say a few good words for me, saying that someone deliberately framed me. After I solve this matter, I can go back and give him some good words."
