What good can we do at this time?

Zhao'er had vigilance in his eyes.

Xue Tao'er ran over, leaned closer and whispered, It's not my aunt's father, he said he wants to talk to the dog.

Xue Tingxiang also heard the movement outside the room and came out.

Don't go, I'll push it. Zhao'er knew that Yang Zhong's old killer would have nothing good to find a young man, and he liked to point fingers at others because of his elder status. Xue Jun is his grandson, so what good things can he say if he goes, especially with the previous incident in front of him?

No problem.

When these words came out, Zhao'er was stunned for a moment, and Xue Tingxiang remembered that he would never speak like this in normal times.

He smiled and said, It's okay, you're still afraid that I won't succeed if he eats it.

Can……

At this time, Xue Tingxiang had already passed her to the main room, so she could only follow in a hurry.

*

Here in the main room, as expected, the wine is in full swing.

Yang Zhong's white and chubby face was flushed from drinking, and he looked like he was slightly drunk. Mr. Xue's dark red face shone red under the light. Xue Qingshan also sat on the side, along with Xue Juncai, Xue Qingbai and Xue Qinghuai.

Women are not at the table.

Seeing Xue Tingxiang walking in, Yang Zhong said, Our little genius is here, come and let me see.

He waved his hands without treating himself as an outsider, and when Xue Tingxiang approached, he looked up and down with a pair of drunken eyes: I don't see anything changed, how did you become so promising?

As soon as these words were sarcasm, the court immediately fell silent.

Xue Qingshan focused on eating vegetables between his sandwiches, as if he didn't hear him. Xue Juncai seemed to be sitting upright, but in fact he was looking at this place intentionally or unintentionally.

The rest of the Xue family were a little embarrassed, especially Mr. Xue, his face was a little stiff, but he hesitated to speak.

Zhao'er was about to have a seizure, when Xue Qinghuai suddenly stood up, smiled and picked up the wine bowl: My father-in-law, I respect you for a bowl. This wine is brewed by my father himself, and ordinary people can't drink it. I don't care about your old age, so I quickly dug a jar and said to drink a few more bowls with you.

Yang Zhong looked at Xue Qinghuai with a smile, and without hesitation, he picked up the wine bowl and drank it down in one gulp, and ate a few mouthfuls of food. Taking advantage of the situation, Xue Qinghuai hurriedly winked at Zhao'er and Xue Tingxiang, telling them to leave quickly.

Xue Tingxiang smirked slightly, and planned to take Zhao'er away, and listened to Yang Zhong before he even took a step.

What's the matter? Why is the elder leaving before he finished talking? Although I am not your own grandfather, I am also your own grandfather. Is this old man not paying attention to me, or what?

The hat was buttoned too big, Zhao'er was about to say something, Xue Tingxiang gave her a hand.

He took two steps forward, pretending to be listening respectfully: Since my in-laws and grandpas have taught me, I will listen to you. After a pause, he continued: It's just that my in-laws and grandpas are also scholars, so they must know the principle of not saying anything rude.

According to what you little brat thinks, as an elder, I can't say that you are a junior?

The smell of alcohol came straight to Xue Tingxiang's face, and there was also a strange smell of various vegetables mixed in it.

Xue Tingxiang did not evade, and nodded calmly: Naturally.

Hey! Look! It's really different.

Yang Zhong tapped Xue Tingxiang a few times with his finger, and looked at the rest of Xue's family with a smirk, and the villain first complained: In-law, is this your family's tutor?

It was obvious that Yang Zhong was here to make trouble, and of course it was for Xue Juncai. When he came back from Lizheng's house before, Mr. Xue guessed that the big room would definitely make a fuss, but he didn't expect that the fuss should be here.

In fact, as the son and daughter-in-law, how could the married couple blatantly quarrel with Mr. Xue? After all, they swore before that whoever wins will go, and whoever loses should not complain. And Yang Zhong, as Xue Juncai's grandfather, couldn't be more appropriate to stand in for him. If it works, it's good, if it doesn't, it won't hurt the relationship between father and son.

relatives by marriage……

Mr. Xue was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xue Tingxiang's voice.

Although both of my parents are dead, I have my grandfather and uncles, and other elders of the Xue family. Even if there is something wrong, it is not up to people with other surnames to point fingers here. Although my grandpa is related to my family, there is absolutely no reason for him to scold the Xue family when he eats at the table of the Xue family.

Because there are guests, candles are rarely lit in the house, which illuminates the room brightly.

Standing in the middle, the boy is thin and thin, but he is tall and straight. He was wearing a shabby clothes, the cuffs and the front of the clothes were a little white, but it made people feel an inviolable aura.

Could this be the way of in-laws and grandpas being guests? One day when I, the Xue family, will visit your house, I will point fingers at the Yang family and be eccentric. Presumably, the in-laws and grandpas will not be angry. After all, they will not be indecent when they come. Fortunately, Grandpa is always the junior in the family and says how about the in-laws and grandpas. The boy only treats his in-laws as a grandpa, but he is a literati. He is a person who understands etiquette and is admired by the younger generation. Now, it seems that it is nothing more than that!

you--

There was silence in the room, and no one thought that Xue Tingxiang would explode on the spot regardless of his seniority.

Xue Qingshan stopped eating, and suddenly felt restless.

But he didn't stand up to speak for his father-in-law. Xue Tingxiang's hat was too big, which brought the face of the whole Xue family and even the Xue clan. If he speaks for it, he is echoing the fact that the face of the Xue family can be trampled on the ground by the Yang family.

In particular, this is not in line with what he planned.

Yang Zhong's face was flushed red, and his lips trembled with anger: You kid, you dare to teach your elders a lesson at such a young age.

Don't dare! A gentleman is harmonious but different, and a villain is the same but not harmonious. The boy is just telling the truth. I also hope that the in-laws and grandparents should be cautious in their words and deeds, so that they can be the appearance of a gentleman.

This is teaching myself through the words of the sage!

Yang Zhong laughed back angrily, and pointed at him with his finger: Okay, okay, it's amazing. After studying for a few days, people are different. You really think that you will be a big deal if you win the handsome talent today, and you will be rampant.

A gentleman has nothing to fight for, and he will definitely shoot! When he bows and rises, he goes down to drink, and his fight is also a gentleman.

This sentence comes from the eight chapters of The Analects of Confucius. It roughly means that a gentleman will not argue about anything. If there is a dispute, it must be upholding the way of a gentleman. Neither humble nor overbearing, neither angry nor complaining, and having fun with wine after the competition is the battle between gentlemen. It's not that you must be flushed in the face, like a black-eyed chicken, that would be out of style.

It is about being a person and dealing with affairs, and at the same time, it is using the words of the saints to ridicule Yang Zhong for not having the manners and tolerance of his elders, and to make things difficult for his juniors in order to protect his grandson.

There were only four scholars present, and the others were all at a loss. They could only see that Xue Tingxiang was not at a disadvantage, but Yang Zhong was so angry that his seven orifices seemed to be smoking.

Forget about Yang Zhong, Xue Qingshan and his son couldn't help being a little bit surprised when he was angry.

You must know that although Xue Tingxiang has studied the Four Books, he only understands the superficiality and does not understand the meaning of the scriptures. But just now he uttered two sentences in a row, both of which are from the Four Books, and if he didn't understand the meaning of the scriptures, how could he use them to harm others.

Could it be that someone taught him behind his back? No wonder his performance was so unexpected today.

And right at this moment, other changes took place in the field.

It was Yang Zhong who stood up in anger and wanted to teach Xue Tingxiang a lesson, but was stopped by Mr. Xue, Xue Qinghuai and Xue Qingbai.

Well, you little bastard, you have learned to swear before your hair grows.

A gentleman does not mirror water, but mirrors people. Mirroring water, the appearance of meeting, mirroring people, you can know good and bad, but if you want to come to your relatives and grandpas, you don't understand this sentence.

Xue Tingxiang had a smile on his face, obviously there was nothing wrong with that smile, even a bit shy, and his words were gentle and polite, but it made people taste a bit ironic.

I know if I understand you or not, I know you are swearing, I must teach you a lesson today! Yang Zhong struggled to raise his hand, and at this moment, a violent shout sounded in vain.

Father-in-law!

It was Mr. Xue who spoke.

My father-in-law, I respect your in-laws, but this is my Xue family!

Mr. Xue's complexion was very ugly. He had been tolerant just now because of the other party's identity, but Xue Tingxiang was right. There was a whole family sitting in the room, all of whom were surnamed Xue. There was absolutely no reason for someone surnamed Yang to teach others.

No matter how much the family makes trouble, it is wrong for outsiders to intervene.

There was silence in the room, only the sound of Yang Zhong panting heavily.

The sound of a stool falling to the ground sounded, and it was Xue Qingshan who stood up.

At this time, Yang Shi, who had been hiding in the house, also ran out, and said angrily and anxiously: Father, what are you doing! Why did you drink some wine and start to make trouble.

She explained to the dark-faced old man Xue: Father, don't blame me. My father is like this. He started drinking. Oh, father, why are you making a fuss? Then she complained to Xue Qingshan: Juncai's father, you too, why don't you stop him and make such a fuss.

Yang Zhongdao: I'm making trouble, what's wrong with me?! Xue Lianxing, don't forget what you promised me back then. Juncai is your eldest grandson, so you plan to let it go?

Father, stop talking, I'll help you down to rest.

The Dafang couple, one on the left and the other on the right, helped Yang Zhong out, and Yang Zhong seemed to be really drunk, shouting that you should really let go, and stumbled and was helped out by the couple.

*

Because of this commotion, the Xue family was extremely quiet afterwards.

Mrs. Zhou originally asked Zhao'er and the two of them to eat, but they said they had eaten, so they went back to the house.

A table of food and wine, only half eaten, old man Xue sat there alone, eating food and drinking wine, no one dared to disturb.

Mrs. Zhao hid in the back room, don't look at her usually yelling at Mr. Xue, but when Mr. Xue really got angry, she didn't dare to make trouble.

Xue Qinghuai walked to the table and sat down, saying: Father, it's getting late, let's rest early.

Mr. Xue nodded, but when he put down his chopsticks, he sighed again.

Xue Qinghuai couldn't help but persuaded: Father, don't think too much.

Look at the eldest couple, why don't you remember your kindness? The second has only been dead for a few years. Even if the child is not sensible, there is no need to do so.

Xue Qinghuai understood what the old man meant, but he couldn't answer these words well, so he could only say awkwardly: Maybe the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't know that the in-laws guild will make such a fuss.

Mr. Xue snorted, but did not speak.

But Gouzi didn't suffer, you see he was mad at sister-in-law.

Hearing this, Mr. Xue couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows and eyes: I followed the second child.

Xue Qingsong has this kind of temperament, usually taciturn, but don't push him into a hurry, he can surprise everyone.

This big family has been living in harmony and beauty, but it's getting more and more difficult. Mr. Xue sighed, probably because he drank some wine, and his emotions were particularly leaking.

Xue Qinghuai didn't respond.

After a long time, Mr. Xue sighed: Let your wife clean up this table, and you should go and rest earlier.

Hey, I'll let her clean it up.

Zhao'er didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Shen Ping also understood.

He laughed, but he appreciated Zhao'er's frankness of not wanting to take advantage of others: These were sold to a clothing store or an embroidery workshop, and the price was the same. Regardless of the quantity, there are not many good ones, and those that can sell at the price have already been picked out.

Zhao'er thinks about it too, the eyes of the county people are naturally different from those of the country people, let alone this kind of big pawn shop, what is bad in their eyes is actually good for the country people to see.

She breathed a sigh of relief, and said, I want the bag of clothes from Shopkeeper Shen, and I'll give you the money right away.

Are you rich now?

Of course she is rich, Zhao'er now has more than two taels of silver in total, and just now Su Lan gave her another five taels, which is naturally enough.

At the same time, Shen Ping laughed, Well, I actually forgot that you went to see her, so I came here, and she won't take advantage of me. The voice was very small, almost like a murmur, Zhao'er was only focused on looking at her clothes, but she didn't hear clearly.

I'll find a guy to call a car for you, and you, a little girl, can't transport these things.

Thank you, Shopkeeper Shen.

After seeing Zhao'er off, Shen Ping turned around and went into the pawn shop.

Although he is called the third shopkeeper, he is not the third shopkeeper of this store, but the third shopkeeper of the entire 'He Rongsheng', and only at his deliberate request will he stay in Xia County permanently.

Shen Ping is the son of the Shen family, his father is the chief manager of the Shen residence, and he has been a servant with the third young master Shen Fu since he was a child. It was not until he became an adult that he was released to become a shopkeeper.

If she comes again next time, just do as I told you before.

Yes, shopkeeper.

Just after noon, the clerk Ah Cai came to deliver meals to Xue Tingxiang.

Boss Chen said it was simple food, but in fact the food was not bad, with one meat and one vegetable, and one soup. Xue Tingxiang knew very well that Boss Chen was taking care of him deliberately. How could anyone hire someone to copy books, take care of tea and food, and the wages they paid were not low.

It was because he knew it in his heart that he didn't say no. In this case, the refusal retained his character, but it seemed too petty and hypocritical.

It can only be repaid in the future, Xue Tingxiang thought lightly in his heart.
