Aoyama Chronicle

Qin Fei already knew that he was going to Zhong's house in the state capital, so he and Xiaochen naturally wanted to go with him.So Qin Fei got up early in the morning and started to work at home. He made a lot of pancakes to eat on the road, and even roasted some wild game. He put some rice porridge in bamboo tubes for Xiao Chen to eat on the road.I picked some pears and dates, washed them, and put them in. Finally, I filled the water bag with some water.In short, everything that can be imagined is ready and put on the carriage.

Zhong Yiwen waited until Qin Fei got up, then got up from the bed, and after washing up, he began to dress up in the room.What to dress up, of course, pretending to be decadent, pretending to be lost, pretending to be sad!For this trip to the state capital, he was fully prepared, and he must separate the family. It should not be too bad. The property of the Zhong family in the state capital should be his. He would rather donate it than leave any that old thing.

When Lizheng and the others came over, Zhong Yiwen was almost supported by Qin Fei into the carriage. His pale face and black eye sockets were so weak.

When Qin Fei first entered the room and saw it, he was also taken aback by Zhong Yiwen's appearance, but Zhong Yiwen winked at him playfully, and stretched out his hand to let Qin Fei look at the blue and black color on his hand, making Qin Fei really It's dumbfounding.However, he didn't ask Zhong Yiwen why he dressed like this, which made Zhong Yiwen really lonely and had no one to talk to.

It only takes about two hours from Zhongjia Village to the state capital, so the Zhong family and a group of people arrived at the state capital just after noon.Under the arrangement of Xiaoan, the eldest son of Zhong's second son, they first went to a small restaurant in the state capital to have lunch.Afterwards, Xiao An invited the clerk surnamed Li who specialized in handling such matters in the state capital, and then went to the state capital Zhong's house.

"Master Li, the masters of the clan, the second young master, the second young husband, and the young master, you should rest first and have some tea and snacks. The slaves will go to the backyard and ask the master and the third master to come over!" Big, but very clever.Seeing a group of them come to the door with a bad face, but still greet them with a smile, the Zhong family in the state capital really can't make people picky in this regard.

Zhong Yiwen looked sickly, sitting on the chair, just bowed his head and said nothing.

The nine-rank clerk, Mr. Li, seemed to be very interested in Zhong Yiwen. He looked up at Zhong Yiwen many times, but he never said anything.

Xiaoan has been in the business for several years, and knows a lot of people, and has a certain vision. Knowing that Mr. Li probably knows Zhong Yiwen, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, it is thanks to your willingness to come and help this time. You also know that Mr. Zhong What the family did in the state capital. Our family has nothing to do, and many brothers and boys in the village are busy talking about marriage, and they are tired of these things, so they have no choice but to come to the door."

"It's okay." Master Li waved his hand, "Brother Yan Zhong and I were classmates in the old days. If the Zhong family has something to do, I naturally want to help."

Yan Zhong?This is the name of Zhong Yiwen's deceased father.

When Zhong Yiwen heard Master Li mentioning his father's name, he immediately raised his head and looked at Master Li who was sitting across from him as if he hadn't said anything just now.Zhong Yiwen didn't know what the relationship between Master Li and his father was like, but judging from Master Li's appearance, there shouldn't be any enmity.Zhong Yiwen wasn't sure if Master Li would help him, so even though Master Li mentioned his father, he didn't rush forward to make connections.

Zhong Yiwen has concerns, but it doesn't matter to others.Lizheng was the first to cheer up: "It turns out that Master Li and the second master of the Zhong family are old acquaintances, no wonder they are willing to help. Master Li, the scholar in our village is just the only son of the second master of the Zhong family."

When Lizheng said this, Zhong Yiwen had to stand up of course, and respectfully bowed to Master Li: "Master Li."

Master Li nodded indifferently: "Well, sit down."

Based on Master Li's attitude, Zhong Yiwen knew that no matter what happened in a while, Master Li would definitely not favor any side.Zhong Yiwen originally didn't expect the people from the government to favor anyone, he had already figured it out, even if the government favored the Zhong family in the state capital, he was not afraid.Of course, now that Master Li expressed his neutrality, he was more than happy.

Li Zheng still wanted to say something about his relationship with Master Li, but he didn't say anything yet.Over there, Mrs. Chen led Mr. Zhong and Mr. Zhong had already come in.

Zhong Sanye is the same age as Zhong Yiwen's father, just one year at a time, and Zhong Yiwen's father has passed away for many years, but this Zhong Sanye is doing well in the state capital.Those who didn't know thought that he was the only legitimate son of Zhong's family in the state capital.But maybe because of being implicated in Fu Lang's affairs, today it seems that his complexion is a little bit worse, and he is not as romantic as usual.

After the two parties greeted each other for a while and got to know each other, they finally entered today's topic.

"Lord Li, you must have heard about the Zhong family. Although the Zhong family in the state capital is of the same clan as our Zhong family village, they have been separated for several generations. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhong felt that his clan was weak. , just knelt down in our ancestral hall for a few days, and the elders were able to let Mr. Zhong merge into our family. However, the reputation of the Zhong family in the state capital has seriously damaged us, so today we invite you to testify, Help us divide the Zhong family from this state capital." Master Li Zheng explained the origin straightforwardly.

Chen's face was red and white. He originally thought that there had been no response from Zhongjia Village for so many days.No one knows that the Zhong family was originally from a merchant family, and he himself is still from a merchant family. If he splits his clan, his descendants will definitely bring his hometown back to the state capital. It is estimated that they can only be merchants. Even the reputation of a scholar can't be kept.

Mr. Zhong was impatient, and immediately shouted: "How can this be done? Lizheng, aren't you too ungrateful in Zhongjia Village? My father gave you Zhongjia Village many benefits back then, and even built roads for you. .You have all the benefits, and now you want to separate us, there is no way to do this."

"Sir, shut up!" Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Zhong angrily, but Mr. Zhong had already said what he was supposed to say, Mrs. Chen was completely an afterthought.

However, Li Zheng respectfully saluted Mr. Li: "Master Li, our Zhongjia Village is definitely not a villain who is ungrateful for profit. Mrs. Zhong's great kindness to our Zhongjia Village, our descendants of the Zhong Family It must be kept in mind. But the reputation of the Zong family cannot be insulted. The Zhong family in the state capital wants to control the power of the Zong family by relying on the kindness of Mr. Zhong. Don't do things that are out of character, just divide out the wrong branch of the Zhong family in the state capital, and the eldest son and the second son of the original Mr. Zhong can still stay in the Zhong family village. Please also ask Mr. Li to make the decision for us."

Ok, so it turned out to be an attempt to kick my son out!Chen was too angry to speak.

"You, you, you are deceiving people too much!" Mr. Zhong was trembling all over, and it took him a long time to say this sentence.

Before Chen Shi and Li Zheng could say anything more, Zhong Yiwen staggered and knelt down in front of Chen Shi: "Grandma, grandson is sorry for you, it was grandson talking nonsense that day that caused you to suffer such a great crime The grandson is sorry for you, grandma, do you still want the grandson?"

Chen's money and reputation were almost ruined by Zhong Yiwen's words that day. When he saw Zhong Yiwen, he wanted to stab him twice. Today, he doesn't even pretend to be kind, and now he has to be mentioned again by Zhong Yiwen. Chen hates it Teeth itch, but he can only continue to maintain his own image: "Good grandson, of course grandma wants to, grandma, no one can take you away from grandma, no one can!"

This appearance of a kind and filial son made a group of people completely puzzled.Even Mr. Lizheng wondered if he should distribute this confused scholar.

"Tai aunt, Xiaochen and uncle, let's go together, let's go together, come back, daddy's money, give me." Although Xiaochen's words are scattered, but the words can be understood , this kid wants Mrs. Chen to give him his father's money.

Zhong Yiwen looked at Xiaochen with a vicious look: "Xiaochen, we haven't separated yet, your father's money belongs to grandma, when did it become yours?"

Xiao Chen was not frightened by Zhong Yiwen's appearance at all, instead he continued to speak childishly: "Tai Ah, you killed Ah, Daddy's money, I won't give it."

As soon as Xiaochen said this, the scene was immediately quiet.Everyone looked at Xiao Chen, wondering how this kid knew about this, and he said such righteous words, with those big black eyes, it made all the adults feel chills down their spines.Isn't this kid a little too smart?

Xiao Wu threw herself into the river when she gave birth, but it can be regarded as being forced to death by Chen.Mrs. Chen is getting older and older, and the suspicion in her heart is getting worse and worse, and she is extremely suspicious.When Xiaochen said it today, looking into Xiaochen's eyes, Mrs. Chen was so frightened that she couldn't even say a rebuttal.

"Xiaochen, why did you think of saying that?" Qin Fei had been keeping a low profile and hid aside, but now he had to stop Xiaochen.

"Tang, Dad, Dad, I said in my dream that I want money. If there is no money, they will help Xiao Chen and find Tai Ah."

It is said that children are the cleanest, and the words they speak are childish and childlike. There is no taboo, but they are also the scariest.Regardless of whether what Xiaochen said was true or not, everyone present basically believed it.

Chen's face turned pale, he was terribly guilty, and even more terribly afraid.Anyone who is told that there is a dead person coming to him will be afraid, let alone this time there are two.

Looking at Chen's expression, Zhong Yiwen naturally knew that today's rhythm was already in his hands.Mrs. Chen is very frightened now, and it is estimated that her brain will not be half as good as usual, and the remaining Mr. Zhong is still at his disposal.It's not in vain that he spent so much effort to call Xiao Chen these words, this kid is really too cute.
