Uncle Yao was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to rush.
It wasn't until the food and wine were finished that he heard Wen Haoze slowly say: "Brother Yao, I don't know how you offended the Ma family, but if you can settle it with money, it's best to settle it with money. This guy... the water is a bit deep."
The serious look on his face was completely different from the Erha expression just now.
Uncle Yao stood up and solemnly handed over his hands: "Brother Wen, I'm new to the Yao family. I don't know anything. I hope you can give me some advice."
"But to be honest, you Yao family have been in Yunyang City for so long, why haven't you asked about the Ma family?"
Uncle Yao's expression was a bit awkward. Can he say that he was still disappointed when he moved out of the capital and didn't think about it at all?
When they were not acquainted with each other before, he did feel that Uncle Yao was a bit "pretending to be aloof" and not easy to get in touch with. But when he really got in touch with him, he found that he was not "aloof" but, like Cai Jun, a man of few words.
That rascal.
It's just that even if Cai Jun talks little, he will take the initiative to make friends with others, while Uncle Yao may have been used to being the eldest young master of the Earl's Mansion, and was always actively "complimented" by others, so he is so "passive".
If he hadn't been "forced" by what happened to Mr. Yao, I'm afraid Mr. Yao wouldn't be able to take the initiative to give people soap and want to establish diplomatic relations with them, right?
These thoughts quickly flashed through Wen Haoze's mind, and he said: "This Ma family is called 'jackals' in our local area, and they specialize in things like eating people without spitting out their bones. Even though no one in their family is an official,
He's just a profiteer with a dark heart, but there's someone behind them..."
Having said this, Wen Haoze pointed to the sky and said, "Through the sky."
Uncle Yao's eyes widened: No, the Ma family in Yunyang City is actually related to the Tian family?!
The Ma family set up a trap to frame his second brother. Is this the above intention?
"Everyone knows exactly who it is. Anyway, everyone in this room knows that every year the Ma family sends money 'over there'," Feng Qingyi took over and said, "In the beginning, they also did it very secretly.
Yes, but people are still staring at him. After all, the master who eats both black and white makes so much money, and his habit is to make people jealous, and they want to scratch some oil, right? It's a pity that the previous magistrates didn't know the depth, and they were all arrested.
He was pulled off his horse and became a dead soul by the sword."
"If the Ma family wants money, just give it and stay away from them. Basically, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem."
"If you insist on going against them, the people behind them will cover the sky with their hands. Even if you die, no one will make decisions for you."
…
The more I listened to Uncle Yao's complaints, the more he complained. He wanted to give him money, but the Yao family didn't have a thousand taels of gold.
Moreover, they don't know how they "offended" the Yunyang Ma family.
This meal made Uncle Yao feel restless and his back felt cold.
After it was over, Uncle Yao hurried home and reported the news to Gu Qingling.
"So, is it possible that our family is being targeted by people from the capital?"
Gu Qingling was not surprised that the Yao family would be targeted. After all, in the memory of the original owner, the Yao family did have some entanglements with certain families.
What she didn't expect was that the royal family was involved?
Judging from the information obtained by Uncle Yao, it is clear that the Yunyang Ma family is someone else's "money bag". They are looking for money everywhere, and they happen to meet the Yao family who "have a grudge" against them. If not, who are you going to cheat?
The only thing that surprised Gu Qingling was probably that the person behind the scenes was not the enemy of the Yao family she thought, but the original owner.
If it weren't for Yao Da when he was introducing the Yunyang Ma family's genealogy, Gu Qingling heard a familiar name, which suddenly brought back some memories of the original owner. She really didn't know that the original owner had done such a thing - robbing her husband.
.
Speaking of this matter, it's a bit long ago, and we have to start from the original owner's cardamom years.
When the original owner was born, the Gu family was already in decline and was vaguely ostracized in the aristocratic circle. Chen Bingxue, a young lady from the Chen family who also came from a low-born family, happened to encounter this situation.
The two people on the edge are of the same age and have common interests. They get along very well and naturally become friends.
If we go out for fun, we often like to stay together.
During that time, the original owner truly regarded Chen Bingxue as a good friend and wanted to be her forever.
It's just a twist of fate that they met Uncle Yao's father, and ripples started happening at the same time.
It’s no wonder that the girl was so sentimental. In fact, at that time, Uncle Yao and his father were in their prime. He was handsome and had a charming appearance, and he also had a titled earl to succeed him, a perfect son-in-law. Let alone the two of them, there were many people in the capital.
There are many young girls who want to marry into the Yao family.
The Marquis' wife at that time also knew this, so she held a flower-viewing banquet to let Uncle Yao's father, who was not yet an earl at the time, pick her.
At the flower viewing banquet, Chen Bingxue met Uncle Yao's father for the first time. She was excited and shyly told the original owner: "He...he is so good-looking!"
The good son-in-law in Jingzhong, how could the original owner not have any idea, just looking at her friend's appearance, she had selfish motives.
"Well, it's very pretty," the original owner tried, pretending to be casual, "Why, you like it?"
Chen Bingxue was embarrassed to admit it, but the expression on her face was very obvious.
For this reason, she also wanted to ask her sister, the original owner, to be a "red warbler".
The original owner promised well that he would step in and Chen Bingxue would pay to find a way to bribe the maids of the Yao family to find out the whereabouts of Uncle Yao and his father, so as to create a chance for the two of them to meet.
But what I didn't expect was that the original owner seized this "opportunity" - he accidentally entered a strange pavilion and turned a corner and ran into the arms of Uncle Yao and his father.
Not only that, when she panicked because of the fall, she almost pulled off Uncle Yao's father's belt...
Ahem!
Full of fragrance, and having such an incident, Uncle Yao and his father were deeply impressed by her - could he not be impressed? When they met, he almost lost his belt.
"Yes...I'm sorry..."
The original owner was a scheming person. Her face was red and frightened. She panicked and said that she didn't mean it. She also asked him not to tell others, otherwise he would be in trouble if his reputation was stained.
Just say goodbye and pretend this never happened.
Forget it, but the fragrant handkerchief embroidered with her nickname slipped from the palm of her hand and fell to the ground in front of Uncle Yao and his father.
"Hey, girl..."
Uncle Yao and his father wanted to call someone, but they were already far away.
So, when Uncle Yao and his father came to sit down at the banquet and accidentally caught a glimpse of the original owner, he looked at the original owner a few more times.
It happened that this scene was witnessed by Mrs. Hou Ye. When she found out that the original owner was from a scholarly family, she was a little moved.
It didn't take long for the two to get married.
Gu Qingling also clearly saw in the memory of the original owner that Chen Bingxue angrily came to ask the original owner afterwards, why did she do something to "sorry" herself? Why did she still want to steal a man from her when she knew she liked the future earl?
"I didn't." The original owner naturally denied it.
But Chen Bingxue didn't believe it. She pointed at the original owner's nose and cursed, and even tore up a handkerchief on the spot, indicating that their friendship was over.
Later, Chen Bingxue disappeared from the memory of the original owner.
