I rewrote family history

Chapter 93 They are forcing me

A bowl of wine in the ancestral hall has clearly declared the end of the feud between the two families.All the villagers in Xujiapuzi have known about this for a long time.Giving a gift also means reconciliation.

Five qian cash gift, a set of lithographs of the Red Chamber..., this gift is not light.

The other squires are about the same number.

"Please Xu San'er and Xu Congru take your seats."

The door made a long sound and shouted.

Xu Shuwen sent invitations to both Xu Saner and Xu Erlianzi, father and son, but they belonged to the same household, so only one person should come to the door to give gifts.And Xu Erlianzi and Xu Shuwen belonged to the same generation, this time is Xu Shuwen's big wedding, so it is better to sign the gift money and gift list as "Xu Cong".

Outside the door is the running water mat, and inside the door is the upper mat.

Passing through the front yard, Xu Er turned his head and glanced at the direction of the stables. It seemed that a newcomer had moved in there again, and everything remained the same.He raised his feet for a moment, then lifted the hem of his gown, stepped into the gate leading to the backyard, and entered the noisy seats.

In the hall, the guests sitting inside are all different from those outside the door, the old ones are long-sleeved satin shirts, while the few ones are new-style gowns.Therefore, the seating of Xu Saner and Xu Erlianzi did not attract anyone's attention.The guests were also very gentle, unlike the rushing of the wine and meat at the flowing water banquet outside, they rolled up their sleeves and divided the dishes on the table with chopsticks, and no one took too much.

Seemingly influenced by the country gentry, Xu San'er also maintained such an attitude.

The father and son are hidden among the guests.

"Shuwen, congratulations on your wedding." Xu Shuwen, who was waiting for the groom to dress up as an official, toasted one by one, and when he came to the table where he was sitting, seeing his astonishment, Xu Er was the first to speak and raised his wine cup.

After the words, everyone's suspicion, hostility, and indifference followed.

"A few days ago, I received a letter from you, Shuwen..." Xu Er smiled stupidly, "We grew up together, and I can't miss your big wedding day. After all, I am a child. If I get married in the future, If there is no congratulations, it will always feel like something is missing, so I thought about it, so I came here."

The malice dissipated, and the banquets in the living room resumed their noise.

"That's natural." Xu Shuwen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he held up the wine cup, "I will definitely be there for your marriage in the future, Brother Erleng, we are all brothers of our own family."

The two clinked glasses and drank each other.

"It's a pity, I have a hard background." Xu Er stunned put down the wine cup, as if talking about his mind.That's right, it's good for brothers to rebuild the old ones, so how can we not talk about our thoughts.He said slowly, "I think I will get married much later in the future, and I will focus on studying. I guess it's free love. Unlike you, the marriage was arranged early at home, so I have to save my own money for the dowry. I heard that Miss Tian is also a wealthy family. People, you are quite suitable for Shuwen..."

Free to love, free to love.

At first these four words were told to him by the fox fairy.At that time, he was confused about the marriage between his husband and his wife. He didn't understand that his wife was so good, but his husband just didn't like it.The fox fairy used this to release him.Then as he stayed longer in Hongwen Hall, he also heard these four words from other people.

"Yes, it's a good match. She is the daughter of a scholar."

Xu Shuwen took a sip of his wine and replied.

"You said in your letter to me, Shuwen, that when two inequalities meet, power is public law." Xu Er foolishly took a mouthful of fish, imitating the appearance of Zheng Xuli, ate the fish, and picked the gap between his teeth with the slender fishbone "After I saw the letter, I figured it out. If you stand up, it's still my fault. No matter what, I will end up in prison. That's right, life and death, who can ignore it, I still remember Ah, the poem you taught me by the poetess of the country, Had I not seen the Sun, I could have borne the shade."

"This poem is really good."

He put down the fishbone, revealing two rows of cold teeth.He recalled the earthen house in Xuemiao Village again in his mind, it was a dark and cramped prison without a ray of light.The young master taught him this poem, but sent him into this dark room.

If the fox fairy hadn't dug through the alcove....

He understood what it was like to be helpless.

So he sent a pack of dim sum to Xiao Baozi.

Without the pouring moonlight, without the slightest desire for the outside world..., people will die.He clearly knows this.

"If I had never seen the sun, I could have endured the darkness." The wine cup was about to be delivered to his lips, Xu Shuwen subconsciously read the translation of this English poem, and then he opened his mouth, wanting to continue to explain something more clearly, such as This English poem is a poem written by Emily Deakins, what is the name of this poem.Tell Xu Er Lengzi that this poem is his favorite poem.

But he closed his mouth and dropped the wine cup in his hand on the wine table.

"It's all over." Xu Er took out a mint candy from his bosom and put it in the palm of the young master, "It's okay not to drink alcohol, but if you drink too much alcohol, people will easily get confused. Eat some mints to keep your mind clear, and you won't be in the wedding ceremony." At night, I got drunk and slept all night, and I ate sweets to wake up."

"Okay..." Xu Shuwen replied, holding the mints tightly in his palms.After a while, he took a deep breath and asked, "Brother Cong, how long are you staying in the castle? Are you leaving tomorrow or after the wedding? I have an appointment with Da Chong, and we will go to the river together." How about catching fish and prawns? Also, a few days ago, Uncle Wu caught a roe deer, which was quite amusing..."

After all, he is a 16-year-old boy, even if he is married, he still has innocence.

"Big worm?" Xu Er's stunned son said "Oh" first, neither agreed nor refused, and then he asked: "How is the big worm, I haven't seen him for a long time. He is not young anymore, and he has been a bachelor all the time." But I can't, I'm thinking about his young lady, and I don't want to marry a wife, he's different, if I have something to do in the mountains to hunt, it will be difficult to find a guest in the future."

Tangke refers to the wife.

Those who hunt in the mountains are more dangerous than those who farm in the fields.It is easy to be disfigured, lame, and injured, and it is a life-threatening hunt.

"I don't know about that."

Xu Shuwen shook his head.

The time he came back home was also short, so he didn't have the time to pay attention to the internal affairs of Da Chong's family.He married a wife, but Da Chong didn't marry a wife, so to speak, it is also disgusting.

The two wanted to talk again, but at this moment, a round-faced, slightly obese boy squeezed over.Seeing this scene, he squinted his eyes, interrupted the conversation, and stepped in with half of his body, "It's getting late, and there are still a few tables of wine for the elders to respect. Don't talk too long, it's rude, you guys The relationship is good, after the wedding, we can talk about it when we are free, don't delay things now."

"Brother Liu, this..." Xu Shuwen wanted to say more, but he hadn't gotten a sincere answer from Xu Er's fool.If he hadn't made a mistake, Xu Erlian would have left the village tonight.There is no longer any place for the father and son in this village, and the dilapidated house at the east end of the village has long been in disrepair.

But the next moment, Liu Dan's tone became a little rough, "Shuwen, today is a big day, you go to toast first, I will talk to Xu Cong, I also know him, he is a student of the school."

He is a distant relative of the bride's family.The reason why he and Xu Shuwen are close in school is not unrelated to Xu Shuwen's engagement to his distant cousin.

Seeing this, Xu Shuwen had no choice but to leave.

The crowds were bustling, and the guests were full of wine and food, and they began to blow the cowhide.The noise of the villagers from the water mat outside also poured into the backyard, making it a chaotic noise.

"Xu Cong, forgive me, the book is good enough for you. You can go to school, and the money is borrowed from Uncle Xu's family, including the IOUs issued by your family before. This is a favor." Waiting for the two to see After Xu Shuwen's back was far away, Liu Dan pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose. He snorted dissatisfiedly, and then said coldly: "I remember you renting a house last time. Did Shuwen bring you to my house? You lowered the price, and renting a house at Xuansheng Rice Shop is not cheap, and all you look at are the favors of books..."

He didn't say what he said, but the meaning is obvious, you are a white-eyed wolf.

"You, be sensible, cut off contact with Shuwen early."

Liu Dan added another sentence.

Cut off contact?

The gray-white fox got out from Xu Er's chest. It glanced at the round-faced boy, then shrank back again.It's better to cut off contact, but it's better than being uncomfortable for both of you.

It remembers the kindness of the young master, but Xu Er has already repaid it long ago.

Well... at the moment in the ancestral hall, there will be no more debts.

"I gave gift money and gifts..." Xu Er stunned clenched the chopsticks in his hands, he pursed his lips, and said, "Uncles invited me to come in for a feast, to sit on the table, the master also said last time, he After admitting our mistakes, we are still fellow villagers of the same race. It seems that this statement may not be true."

He understood that what the old master Xu Zhiyong said in the ancestral hall was to protect the face of the patriarch, and to continue to keep the plaque of "House of Accumulation of Goodness".

Apologize?The relationship with their father and son is not great.

"It doesn't matter if you tell the truth or lie." Liu Dan squinted at the young man in long gown, "You! You should understand that you are a long-term worker in Uncle Xu's family, and it is your duty to take the blame. I gave you money from your family, which made you rich and powerful. You took the money..."

"That's all I have to say."

Having said that, he got up and left without any regrets.

Whether it's the upper seats in the house or the running water seats outside, the father and son are out of tune. Although they can blend in with the guests, the picky host can still recognize their original mud-legged qualities at a glance.They drove themselves out of the house by themselves.

Away from the hustle and bustle, the two and one fox came to the dirt road on the slope, stepping on messy red paper on the soles of their feet, looking down from the lower place, hectares of golden wheat fields and green fields came into their eyes.

Xu San'er was dumbfounded.

"Father, I know what's on your mind." Smelling the smell of dry smoke, Xu Er didn't avoid it, "You go back to the village to show off to your uncles, because you want to return to the village..."

Seeing what was on her mind, Xu San'er didn't refute, squatting on the ground, sucking the dry smoke.

"Me too."

Xu Er stunned to break two willow branches from a willow tree beside the road. He peeled off the skin and flipped it with his fingers. The tender white willow branches quickly turned into a lifelike little grasshopper.Holding the wicker grasshopper in his hand, he stared at it blankly, "After all, our surname is Xu, who doesn't want to miss the countryside. But..., they may not be happy to see us come back..."

"Could it be..." He laughed self-deprecatingly, and threw the willow grasshopper far away, "Do they have to kneel down and kowtow again to admit my mistake before they can forgive you and me. Am I wrong? What did I do wrong? What did I, Xu Cong, do wrong? I didn't say a word in the ancestral hall, and I was willing to reconcile with them after taking advantage of the master. Is this my fault? Yours!"

"No!" Xu Er took a deep breath, the corners of his eyes were dry from the autumn wind, "I'm not wrong. I was locked up in a cell, and I didn't inform Zheng Baozhang and the others. The young master also cut my braids. I entered the ancestral hall and was punished by the master." I'm sorry, the young master is going to get married, on the big day, I'm back, and I gave you a gift."

"Am I wrong?"

He sneered, "They were wrong! They forced me, let me get into the cell, they forced me, made me accept the apology from the master, they forced me, went back to Xu's house, and sat down. Guest. In the end, it's all my fault?"

"When I talk to the young master, what I talk about is old things. One after another, one by one, which one is not true. They avoid it because they have ghosts in their hearts."

"I am a person who is not willing to submit to them. I entered the village and did what they thought was right, but... I was wrong?"

When the young master entered the village, the villagers would never dare to gather together and soil the new clothes.

He did it and it was wrong.

Being scolded by the villagers for not knowing my family members, I lose my conscience!But Xu Shuwen is the son of the patriarch, and he is also a member of the clan. No one has ever scolded Xu Shuwen like this.

"Son, don't think so, you..."

Xu San'er pursed his lips for a moment, looking at his son in front of him, he just felt distressed.

Is the baby disrespecting uncle?In the past, it was very affectionate.But that day, he also saw it, he was silenced, Xu Er was trampled to the ground by Zheng Baozhang, and no one would say a word for them, but robbed them of their belongings...

"Father, I know what you mean, but if I don't say these words, I will go crazy..."

"Don't worry, your son is fine."

Xu Er calmed down, and he broke off the willow branches again, and made a willow grasshopper just like before. He didn't throw away the grasshopper, but stuffed it in his pocket.

He glanced at Xu San'er, he was still taciturn as before, no longer the shrewd calculations in the courtyard.

What has changed?
Nothing has changed.

It's just that there are more rules in one place and less rules in one place.

"Go, go home."

Xu Erlian helped Xu San'er up, and the two of them, together with a fox, walked down the plateau slowly.

After walking for a while, when they arrived at the grandpa of the Xu family, Xu San'er, who had been depressed for a long time, said, "Boy, they say you are suffering from hysteria, don't take it to heart, father knows, you are very good."

With Liu Dan's involvement today, many people began to criticize Xu Er's fool.Many of them mentioned Xu Erlianzi's previous scandal in the affiliated elementary school, and the word hysteria was also mentioned.

Fox Immortals do exist.Xu San'er knew that Xu Er's fool was fine, but the scene just now made him unable to help but care about Xu Er's fool.

"Father, I know."

"Mr. Zhou said, he said... I am not hysterical."

Xu Er stunned took a step and said.
