This ancestral school is not big to begin with, with only a few dozen students, and the dining hall is certainly not big either. Tang Shiyue's voice is clear and clear, and the students can hear it clearly without trying hard, not to mention that this matter is quite noisy in the first place.
Everyone had their own guesses, so they naturally paid more attention to what was going on at the main table.
Tang Shirong had no idea what she wanted to do.
Could it be that she wanted to get Tang Shijin drunk? But before the banquet started, the teacher said that there were classes in the afternoon, so you could only drink in small quantities, not more. The cup was so small, even a child couldn't get drunk with three glasses of wine!
Tang Junchen was thinking more "socially". He wondered whether Tang Shiyue wanted to arouse jealousy among his classmates? He wanted people who knew the inside story to expose him for various reasons? But Tang Shijin could not tell others about this kind of thing.
, this trick is useless!
Under the attention of everyone, as soon as the three cups were over, Tang Shiyue stopped: "I can't express the gratitude in my heart with thousands of cups, but you all have classes in the afternoon, so I can only express my gratitude with these three cups!
"
The steward smiled and said: "Okay, okay, we all understand! Ah Jin also understands! Eat food, eat food!"
So everyone ate happily. The people at the table next to me looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all a little confused. Is this little cousin really here to thank Tang Shijin?
That's really... quite stupid!
Tang Shiyue frequently provided food for Tang Shijin and was very attentive. Tang Shijin gradually became a little drunk.
Three glasses of wine were not much, and they were not enough to make him drunk. But there was another dish on the table, duck with rice wine. It tasted sweet and delicious, but in fact the soup was almost entirely wine.
All Tang Shirong had eaten in the past two days was duck. He didn't use his chopsticks. The others were all adults and didn't show any signs of eating. Only Tang Shijin was the only one. She served him soup three times and took several pieces of duck meat.
Not too much, just a little tipsy is enough.
In the eyes of everyone, Tang Shiyue had toasted four people in a row and had more than a dozen glasses of wine. She was young and stature, so she must not drink much, so she naturally showed her drunkenness and spoke to Tang Shijin in an increasingly loud voice.
The higher.
Just listen to her loudly saying: "Really, people should not be judged by their appearance! Rumors really only stop at the wise! Many people say that although you and Ah Rong studied together, they are not close to each other, but I don't believe it! You are the direct descendants.
How can we not be close to our direct cousins, a real family! If we are not close, will you help him hand over to Shuxiu? They are obviously cheating!"
Everyone quickly exchanged glances.
It turns out that Tang Shijin and Tang Shirong are really cousins? Then why did they never talk before? Their relationship was so bad?
Tang Shijin was still somewhat sober at this moment: "Arong has a cold temperament, and we really don't talk much... between us."
Tang Shiyue served him another bowl of duck soup and said, "You're right! The ambition is not in the age! The reason is not in the loudness! You don't need to talk together when you are close! Right!"
This is nothing! Tang Shijin frowned, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hid his head while drinking duck soup.
Tang Shiyue said with another look of sympathy: "Tang Xiaolang, I've heard about your family's affairs, so don't take it too seriously! No matter how much your fourth uncle loses his conscience and destroys human relations, after all, it has nothing to do with you. I
I believe in your character! I believe that you can emerge from the mire without being stained, and you can be clean without being evil! You are the only good person in your family!"
Everyone...
No, it’s okay to “come out of the mire but not be stained”. It’s barely appropriate, but what the hell is “to wash away the pure ripples without being evil”? Also, what does it mean to lose all conscience and destroy human relations? His fourth uncle
What did you do?
Qi Jing inhaled gently, almost being amused to death by this living treasure.
The key point is that she pretended to be drunk so well! If he hadn't helped change the wine himself, and he knew that she had only had three or four drinks, he would have believed that she was really drunk.
There were too many important points. Tang Shijin's mind was confused and he couldn't think clearly for a while. It took him a long time to say: "I, my fourth uncle..."
He didn't know what to say for the moment, but in the eyes of others, his fourth uncle's bad behavior was so bad that it was indisputable.
As if she sensed everyone's gossip, the next moment, Tang Shiyue deciphered the secret. She said angrily: "Your fourth uncle is indeed worse than a beast. He sold several of his nieces to a bad old man one after another as concubines. He is still a bastard."
This bad old man takes pleasure in killing people. He has several lives on his hands, so I only asked him to pay some money, which is really an advantage for him!"
What? Everyone gasped secretly.
Tang Shijin was also speechless. He couldn't argue with this matter, and he was so drunk that he couldn't think of a way to evade it.
"Alas!" Tang Shiyue continued: "If the elders do evil, the younger generation will suffer! Your fourth uncle asked others to come to the door and paid so much money. Has the family's fortune been completely wiped out? I heard that your family can't wait to get the divorce in advance."
It’s new wheat! This is absolutely impossible!”
This sentence still did not arouse Tang Shijin's vigilance. He never cared about the work in the fields, but the sober students around him deeply realized the "level" she described in an instant.
The new wheat can be harvested in June, but now it’s only half a month. We can’t wait for even half a month. This... seems to be extremely difficult.
Tang Shiyue continued: "It's so miserable for you to be implicated by your fourth uncle! I heard that your family didn't even have money to pay for the repair this time. You knelt and cried all night, and Grandma Sun went out to borrow two.
Two taels of silver. When the villagers sent you here that morning, they even owed money for the mule cart. When he returned to the village, he said you were so pitiful. How had you ever suffered such hardship..."
She wiped away her tears, grabbed his sleeve, shook it, and said loudly: "You lived such a difficult life, you couldn't even eat, and you even helped A Rong pay Shu Xiu. I'm really impressed by your noble character and integrity!"
Everyone: "..."
gentlemen:"……"
Steward: "..."
At this moment, everyone understood it completely.
Especially the steward, he thought of the ten taels of silver that Tang Shijin took out at that time, and the other people who followed Tang Shijin also thought of the large amount of copper coins in his hand these days.
Tang Shijin also felt something was wrong. He murmured: "No, no, I'm not..."
"I understand!" Tang Shiyue continued to step down hard: "You must be doing odd jobs to make money, right?"
The whole hall was silent.
Tang Shijin, doing odd jobs? Haha!
However, Tang Shiyue didn't intend to end it like this. She stood up suddenly: "I decided to follow your example! I want to donate some silver to the school! Let my cousin and everyone eat meat every day!"
She grabbed Tang Shijin and said, "Tang Xiaolang, you must be willing to come with me, right! How about this, the two of us can each contribute two taels of silver every month. Although it's not much, we can cook for everyone every two days.
Chicken soup can replenish the body and help you study more attentively! Okay?"
Tang Shirong became anxious and opened his mouth to speak, but was quickly elbowed by Qi Jing. Tang Shirong turned his head and looked at him. "Watch the show honestly" was clearly written in his eyes. Tang Shirong had to swallow hard.
At this moment, Tang Shiyue was not afraid of showing off her wealth. Because no matter how much she showed off, Tang Shijin would only think that the money was his when Qi Jing was there.
So she grabbed the steward and said, "Steward Tang, do you agree?"
How can Manager Tang say no? In a place without oil and water like this, four taels of silver a month is just for nothing. Only a fool can say no!
He immediately put aside what had just happened and praised his generosity. Tang Shiyue immediately took out the silver coins from his wallet and slapped it on the table, "This is mine! Tang Xiaolang, I want it."
Follow your footsteps! Let’s fight! Courage! Move forward! Let’s go!”
Qi Jing: "..."
He really had a hard time holding back the laughter!
Speaking of this, Tang Shijin was put on the fire! He couldn't say no, so he could only take out two taels of silver and put it on the table: "Okay! I am willing to go with my brother!"
Everyone was also very happy. Even if they were deducted a little, they could at least have a bowl of chicken soup every now and then. Besides, the manager didn't dare to deduct too much for something like this that was said in public.
Tang Shiyue took the steward again and told him that the two taels of silver next month would be paid to Shu Xiu, and he must remember to ask for it from him then.
At this time, many thoughtful people also understood Tang Shiyue's true intention.
As the saying goes, catch a thief and get the stolen goods, but what if there is no stolen goods?
She didn't criticize Tang Shijin for a word, but she tore open his painting and stepped on him to the bottom of the mud. Not only did she step on the bottom, but she also cut off his way out. In the meantime, she ruined his reputation. In the end, she dragged everyone down.
On his opposite side.
So cruel.
Unexpectedly, Tang Shirong had such a fierce cousin, and spent so much money to force him to get a belated justice. (To be continued)
