Chapter 9-9. Taking a Knife Against the Young Master

Old man Tian saw the man who was not angry but mighty sitting at the front seat in the main hall, and hurriedly bowed: "I have seen the master."

Zheng Zongde took his poverty and restraint into consideration: "Master Tian, ​​you don't need to be too polite. Butler Lu, invite Master Tian to sit in the lobby."

Old man Tian had never heard others call him master, and his legs and feet trembled in fright: "Don't dare, dare not, master, I am a poor man, I dare not call him master, I can just stand here. Master, I am really sorry, I My daughter has caused trouble for you..."

Hearing his incoherent words, Zheng Zongde smiled slightly: "Old man Tian, ​​concubinage in my house is also very particular, not all women can come in. She either looks like a fairy, or her family background and character are superior, and she can add to Zheng's family. Your daughter Tian Erya doesn’t take advantage of anything, and even if she gets married in the future, she will only marry a farmer, butcher, or blacksmith in the countryside, working hard all day long to barely get enough to eat.”

Old man Tian echoed again and again.

"Now, your daughter Erya has a fate with my Zheng family. I agree to let her marry my fourth son as a concubine. It is already too difficult for me. My fourth son, Yuan Sheng, is rich in education, and sooner or later he will be admitted to the Jinshi. As an official of the imperial court, your daughter will have a future with him. This is a blessing that no girl from a poor family can ask for, so you should cherish it!"

Old man Tian bowed his body, buried his head deeply, and said nothing.

San Yuanfei, the elder of the Zheng family, walked over with a big knife in his hand, saw an old man in ragged clothes, and asked the servants: "Who is that old man? How can my father talk to him in person?"

"Master, that's Tian Erya's father."

Zheng Yuanfei understood instantly, and squinted at Old Man Tian.

Zheng Zongde was persuasive: "Old man Tian, ​​think about it carefully, if your second wife becomes my concubine, our two families will also be considered married, and I will not ignore any difficulties in your family. It will be less than your family, you say a number, as long as it is not too much, I will agree to you."

The old man Tian said anxiously: "Master Zheng, thank you for your love. My daughter will not be a concubine."

Zheng Zongde's expression changed, and he stood up slowly: "Could it be possible that you have wronged your daughter by being my Zheng family's concubine?"

"No, no."

"Then it's settled." Zheng Zongde didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, and decided directly, "A concubine doesn't need three books and six ceremonies and red tape, just prepare some betrothal gifts and a small sedan chair, and just bring your daughter into the door. Steward Lu, Do it today."

Seeing that he was about to leave after finishing speaking, Old Man Tian rushed over, "Master, you can't..."

Zheng Yuanfei saw that he wanted to go up to stop his father, rushed forward angrily, raised his leg and kicked him in the face, and swept him to the ground: "Old man, don't be shameless."

Tian Erya saw her father being kicked to the ground, rushed over with a groan, and hit Zheng Yuanfei with her head.

Zheng Yuanfei was unprepared, he couldn't dodge in time and was knocked to the ground, the knife in his hand also flew off, he was on fire on the spot, he raised his hand and was about to hit it, and the next step he stopped his hand in mid-air.

Tian Erya picked up the big knife and pointed the blade at him: "Try again, I'll cut you off!"

Zheng Yuanfei's cold sweat broke out, he didn't expect to meet someone more sturdy than him this time.

Zheng Zongde saw his son being pointed at with a knife with his own eyes, his face was pale with fright, and he ran out of the front hall quickly: "Tian Erya, put down the knife quickly, you have something to say."

Tian Erya approached Old Man Tian, ​​helped him up with one hand, fixed her eyes on Zheng Yuanfei, and pointed her knife at him.

Zheng Yuansheng was sitting in the study in a daze, when he suddenly saw the book boy barging in recklessly, he was very upset when his thoughts were interrupted, and just wanted to blame him.

Shutong Xia Tian was out of breath: "Fourth Young Master, hurry up and take a look! Tian Erya pointed the knife at Third Young Master."

Zheng Yuansheng was startled and ran out quickly.He ran to the door and felt that something was wrong. He was barefoot and without a coat, so he hurried back: "Go and get my coat and shoes."

Xia Tian got up and brought the clothes and shoes for him to put on.

As Zheng Yuansheng walked out, he fastened the belt of his outer robe, feeling extremely anxious.Tian Erya, that rough and reckless country girl, was driven into a hurry, maybe she really dared to kill the third brother, and he would never let the third brother have an accident.

in the courtyard.

The guards and servants of the Zheng family surrounded the yard, for fear that Tian Erya would run away after chopping down the third young master.

The third young master of Zheng, Yuan Fei, yelled at Tian Erya who was pointing at her with a knife: "Chop if you have the guts, the third young master is not afraid of this."

Zheng Zongde hurriedly stopped: "Third brother, don't provoke her, be careful that she jumps over the wall in a hurry, she will kill you."

"Father, I'm not afraid." Zheng Yuanfei saw Tian Erya's hand trembling with the knife, and shouted, "It's just a country girl. I lent her ten guts, but she wouldn't dare to cut off the master."

Old man Tian pulled his daughter's clothes: "Erya, put down the knife quickly, don't hurt the third young master, we can't afford it."

"Father, they didn't want to let us go. What's the big deal, I'll fight him for life."

Zheng Yuanfei broke out in cold sweat, this reckless girl was actually serious.

Zheng Yuansheng hurried over: "Tian Erya, if you have something to say, don't use the knife."

Tian Erya resented: "Will you guys talk well? If I don't want to be your concubine, your father will force my father, and your brother will beat my father. You don't even want to give me a way out."

Zheng Yuansheng saw that the left side of the old man behind Tian Erya was red and swollen, and he realized that he was injured by the third brother.The third brother has learned some things, and hurting someone is enough to hurt people for a long time.He had no choice but to persuade: "My third brother did something wrong and shouldn't beat your father. Our family will not force you to be a concubine, but let you stay here in peace and wait for Miss Wu to come back and explain clearly, okay?"

"You count?"

"count."

Tian Erya didn't really want to kill someone, so she hurriedly asked, "Your family won't embarrass me anymore? And won't you embarrass my father?"

Zheng Yuansheng nodded quickly: "Yes, my Zheng family will never make things difficult for you again."

Tian Erya moved the knife away from Zheng Yuanfei's chest, watched him make fists, and quickly put the knife on his neck.

Zheng Yuanfei felt a chill on his neck and almost peed his pants.

Tian Erya's actions made the Zheng family even more nervous.

Zheng Yuansheng's heart rose to his throat: "Don't mess around. My Zheng family really won't trouble you and your family anymore. Let go of my third brother."

Tian Erya stared closely at Zheng Yuanfei, for fear that he would hurt others: "You have to guarantee that your third brother will not do anything to me and my family."

"Okay, I promise. My third brother also promises that he will never hurt you." Zheng Yuansheng urged, seeing that she was not moving the knife.
"Third brother, make sure."

Zheng Yuanfei looked at the shining blade against his neck, and could only swear: "I promise I will never trouble you again, and I won't fight with you, are you satisfied?"

Tian Erya put down the knife.

Zheng Yuanfei glared at her, picked up the knife, and left angrily.

Tian Erya saluted Zheng Zongde: "Master Zheng, I am forced to stay at your house. In addition to providing me with a place to live, your family must also ensure that I have food to eat."

Zheng Zongde gave her a cold look: "My Zheng family will not miss your stutter."

"And my wages, I haven't been given!"

"Steward Lu, pay her the bill."

"Yes, master." Steward Lu took out a tael of silver and threw it on the ground, "The extra part will be sent to beggars by the master."

Zheng Yuansheng frowned.

Erya Tian picked up the silver with no expression on her face, and handed it to Old Man Tian: "Father, you go back! After Miss Wu's family comes back to prove my innocence, I will naturally go back."

Old man Tian opened his mouth, finally he only let out a long sigh, and left Zheng's house with a tael of silver.

Tian Erya stayed in the Zheng family compound.She knew that she couldn't really marry Zheng Yuansheng as the wife of the wife, so she didn't dare to put on airs as a wife, and she was very diligent in finding things to do, wiping everywhere with a rag.

Zheng Yuanchen and a few companions were frolicking in the corridor, a piece of paper fell down, no one noticed them, they were still playing with each other.
