Indeed, at this moment, the Tang family was completely silent.
Tang Shijin knelt on the ground, his face full of tears, and kept saying, "I might as well die..."
The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh. Grandma Sun was heartbroken when she heard this, and finally made up her mind: "I'm going to find your Yao Shu! I'll go find your Yao Uncle early tomorrow morning!"
At noon on the second day, they agreed to go to Tang's fourth uncle's house for dinner. The three brothers and sisters Tang Shiyue arrived at the door of the small wine shop when they saw a carriage coming from a distance.
The horse had a copper bell hung around its neck, jingling all the way, and stopped at the door of the Tang family's mansion. Then Tang Yongming jumped off first. He was tall and tall, wearing a cicada shirt, and was handsome and elegant.
Tang Yongming is better looking than his cheap dad Tang Yongli, and this look makes him look even more elegant.
He first turned around to help Mrs. Sun down, then turned back and helped down a fat black man wearing gold and silver. He was not tall. From the back, he weighed more than 200 kilograms. His physique was very strong. There was also a servant behind him.
Ring, carrying things down.
Tang Shiyue glanced at it from a distance.
Tang Yongming can be considered a talent. It’s not that he doesn’t know what’s good and what’s good. He simply chooses the one with greater benefits. He can also be considered open-minded. If he steps on his face first, others will naturally
There is no shame left to step on.
In a sense, this was his homecoming in fine clothes, and he obviously lived a good life in the Cui family. Sure enough, in the evening, he heard that Granny Sun had gone to pay back the wages owed to the Chen family.
Cui Furong really likes Tang Yongming, she has always been gentle and virtuous to him, she is a lowly person, and she does not regard him as a son-in-law.
When I came here, I didn't show off at all, I gave him enough face, and in order to support him, I gave Grandma Sun a full one hundred taels of silver and a lot of gifts.
In this way, Tang Shijin's wages and repairs were all available.
Later, Tang Yongming heard about the extra two taels of silver from the clan school every month. He patted Tang Shijin on the shoulder and said, "It doesn't matter, leave this matter to me. Uncle Yao will go visit the clan brother tomorrow! Never call him
You suffered a loss!"
As a result, Tang Yongming's status in the family rose instantly. Not to mention that Mrs. Sun was so happy that she couldn't stop praising Cui Furong. Even if Tang Yongfu lost his temper and blamed him before, he would still have to pay for it now.
With smiling faces, the whole family waited on the couple with sincerity.
The Cui family's carriage waited until dusk before leaving. The front of the carriage was lit with an angry wind lantern, and it made a tinkling noise all the way.
But this time Tang Yongming miscalculated.
People in the village are naturally envious of wealthy families, but they are extremely contemptuous of married people. Although there is no law in this dynasty that prohibits married children from marrying, the custom of despising married children has continued unabated.
So even though Tang Yongming showed off his wealth, no one had anything nice to say. You can hear people talking about it wherever you go:
"If you want to call me, he will never be embarrassed to go out in his life, and he is shaking now."
"With the Cui family's physique, she is not afraid of turning over at night and crushing people to death."
"When a man takes in a new person, he will always be fresh for two days. I don't know how he will grow up."
"If you lose your favor, can you still get divorced?"
"Why not? A son-in-law is worse than a concubine. It wouldn't be surprising to divorce her."
It's not sour, I just don't like it.
…………
Early the next morning, Qi Jing sent Tang Shirong and Tang Junchen back to the ancestral school.
Tang Junchen walked in and was still chattering to Tang Shirong: "It's really cool in your house. It's probably not hot even in the dog days of summer. When I add a couch in your bedroom later, I'll go to your house to sleep every time I take a bath."
Tang Shirong said: "I don't know whether it will be cold in winter."
"No," Tang Junchen said: "This kind of stone house is warm in winter and cool in summer..."
As he was talking, footsteps suddenly came from behind him. Tang Junchen stepped aside as he was accustomed to. He turned around to say hello, but saw that it was Tang Shijin behind him.
Tang Junchen swallowed the words he was about to say immediately.
Tang Shijin gave him a cold look, said nothing, and hurried to the dormitory.
Tang Junchen laughed in a low voice and said, "I don't know what's so good about a family using money from a son-in-law."
"Hush," Tang Shirong made a silent gesture: "Don't mess with villains, it will only increase trouble."
Tang Junchen was convinced, nodded, and the two of them packed up and went to the lecture hall.
Halfway through the meal, I heard that my boss had arrived. The next moment, I saw the steward coming in with two people, one of whom turned out to be Tang Yongming.
Tang Yongming looked around the room with a smile, and said with a smile: "Brother Zong, this school is very good. Look at these young gentlemen, all of them have good character and will definitely achieve a great career in the future."
The boss smiled and said: "Yongming deserves the prize."
The owner of the Tang Family School is named Tang Weishan. He is about forty years old, the same generation as Tang Yongming, and his family is very wealthy.
But no matter how rich he is, he can't compare to the Cui family, so when Cui Furong comes forward, he has no choice but to give her this face. No matter what he thinks in his heart, he always has a smile on his face.
Tang Yongming said: "I took the liberty to come here today, but it is actually for the sake of a few troubled children at home."
He looked down and said, "Rong'er, this kid has always been willful. The family is very poor now, and it's hard to even have a good relationship, but he still wants to make himself fat and get an extra two taels of silver... Not to mention, he actually
Bringing Jin'er along, this is only four taels of silver, it's too ridiculous."
As soon as this was said, everyone couldn't help but discuss it.
Tang Shijin spent an unknown amount of money in the ancestral school, but nothing happened. Now Tang Shirong only spent money once, and when he did some serious business, his family members came to visit him.
The treatment of these two brothers is really like heaven and earth.
Tang Shirong felt something was wrong when he came in, and when he saw him saying such words, he stood up and said calmly: "My husband is polite, and my uncle is polite."
He left his seat and bowed with all due courtesy.
Tang Weishan said: "No need to be polite!"
Tang Shirong then stood up straight and said loudly: "You two have learned that these two taels of silver are not for showing off, but because I lived a poor life before, suffered too much physical debt, and became seriously ill."
"My younger brother in the family thought about everyone else, so I generously gave out two taels of silver, so that poor students like me can study hard without being delayed by hunger, cold, and illness."
He paused and said, "My younger brother also knows that the family is in a tight situation, so the two taels of silver were obtained from hunting and gathering medicine, and the family's money was not used."
"This move is out of kindness. It is not a favor, nor does it seek retribution. It is just for peace of mind... I understand your younger brother's intentions and know the pain, so I can't bear to refuse. The right way is to deal with virtue.
, do what you can. I don’t think this is a fault.”
There was a hidden meaning in his words. He said everything that needed to be said. He glanced at Tang Shijin again and said, "As for the two taels of the eldest brother, the eldest brother personally agreed to it. I wonder why he agreed in the first place? Why do he go back on his word now?"
Tang Yongming frowned.
In fact, he did not have any friendship with Tang Shijin when he agreed to the peace deal, it was purely for his own pleasure.
Being a son-in-law will inevitably make people feel contemptuous, but now he is following his employer. Who knows who he is? Who dares to look down on him? To put it bluntly, he just wants to find a place to show off.
Of course he didn't know about his behavior of selling his niece at a low price. It was already known to everyone in the school, and his behavior of becoming a son-in-law was easy to explain... Even what Tang Shijin did in the first place, of course Tang Shijin didn't say anything.
There's no way of knowing.
He just felt that Tang Shirong had always been quiet and taciturn, and extremely filial. He was never talkative or meddlesome, so he was very easy to deal with.
He came here for a visit, showed off his authority, and then passed the news back to the village to show those who didn't have the eyes to laugh at him. No matter how embarrassed he was, he was still a distinguished guest!
Unexpectedly, Tang Shirong dared to refute it and hit the wall as soon as he arrived. He also spoke eloquently. (To be continued)
