Chapter 380: Not Arrogant
After realizing this, he was extremely impressed with his father. He had to admit that his father had a very good vision and that Shen Zhiqiu in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person.
This guy originally planned to write two letters to deal with the matter, but now in order to return the favor, he decided to go there himself with Shen Zhiqiu.
After arranging for a servant to send his father back, he sent someone to arrange a carriage and personally took Shen Zhiqiu to An County.
Shen Youyou sat in the mule cart driven by Li Quan, following behind Tang Yanli's carriage.
Tang Yanli felt that Shen Zhiqiu was indeed a talented person, so he asked him to ride in the carriage with him, and his words and expressions were much more friendly than at the beginning.
In the backyard of Tang Yanli's house, she heard the housekeeper report that her husband had gone out with someone.
Xiao Xueqing was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand, scaring the group of little maids into silence.
The personal maid, Fen Cui, immediately stepped forward, waved her hand and asked the little maid to clean up the broken pieces of the teacup, squatted down, and while massaging Xiao Xueqing's legs, she advised her not to get angry: "Miss, maybe the son-in-law has something important to do, and he definitely didn't mean to forget the appointment with you."
The more Xiao Xueqing thought about it, the angrier she got. "What could it be? As long as it's something his father brought up, it's a big deal. I, his wife, don't have any weight in his heart. He originally said he would take me to see jewelry, but now it's like this again.
Last time, he agreed to attend the banquet with me, but he ran off to find some bridge-building craftsmen in the middle of the banquet.
As she spoke, she felt even sadder. She leaned on the table and shed tears silently. She even thought that she should not have listened to his sweet words in the beginning. She should have married into a good family, but she was blinded by his literary talent and appearance.
At that time, she thought that although her husband's family was poor, it was a family of farmers and scholars after all. Her husband had ambitions and aspirations, and was also talented and knowledgeable. As long as he was good to her and was willing to fulfill his vow to be together for the rest of her life, she would be satisfied.
But now that we have been married for a long time, my husband is not as affectionate as before. Although he has kept his promise to take a concubine, he spends less time with me.
Xiao Qingxue was so confused that she asked her personal maid Fencui, "What would have happened if I hadn't married him?"
Fen Cui waved her hands quickly: "Miss, you don't dare to have any wild thoughts. Our son-in-law is also a first-class husband. He never has too many social events, and he never goes to shabby places for social events. He is also devoted to you.
As for the fact that the old master had something to ask the uncle, it was understandable that the uncle sometimes ignored the young lady, after all, he was the old master's biological father. "
Xiao Qingxue was of course well aware of this. She just felt that her husband always put her behind her family. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was true. However, every time she went home and talked about this with her aunt, she heard the same remarks.
She just couldn't understand, she just wanted her husband to keep her in his heart, is it so difficult? She married him not for money, fame or gain, but for his attentiveness and consideration.
How come everything changed as time went by? Even now, she even blamed her own brother because of this incident.
If my brother had not had a good relationship with him and often invited him back home, how could I have met him, fallen in love with him, and forced my aunt to always whisper in my father's ear.
Now she wouldn't be sad in secret. Thinking of this, she became even angrier. She picked up the picture books she had read before and threw them all away: "The storybooks are all lies. The lady and the scholar may not be happy even if they are together for a long time."
Actually, Xiao Qingxue really wronged Tang Yanli this time.
He has not forgotten the agreement with his wife. Isn't this just a matter of adding more things to the pile?
After all, human lives are at stake over there. After all, when Shen Zhiqiu and his father came, they had said that they had sent many people over there. If they really started fighting with the nephew of An County's lawyer, casualties would be inevitable.
Besides, he was not really attracted by Xiao Qingxue's family background. The Yongkang Earl had many illegitimate sons and daughters, and he proposed to marry her because he truly liked Xiao Qingxue.
Every time I went to the uncle's house, my wife's sisters would mock her for marrying into a poor family. I wanted to get promoted and climb up the social ladder, and I really wanted to show them that my wife's original choice was not wrong.
While he was in the carriage, he asked Shen Zhiqiu, "Brother Shen, I heard that you went to An County to do business and got the news about your fellow villagers. Is that business hairpin jewelry?"
Shen Zhiqiu nodded: "Brother Tang, how do you know we sell jewelry? In fact, we also sell plastic shoe soles. I'll ask the head of the village to send you some later. You can try it."
Tang Yanli waved his hand to show that he had no such intention. He said, "It was spread all over the capital yesterday that a batch of new jewelry had arrived at the Treasure House. They have the luster of colored glass and are not easily broken.
And I sent a servant to inquire yesterday after leaving the government office. He said that a group of people from our Tangjia Village also sell this kind of jewelry in the South Market.
I had never heard of anyone in the village making hairpins before, so I thought it might be you.
My wife also said that she wanted to go and have a look today, so I didn't tell her much before I came out. I thought that after I was done, I would send you back and pick a few for her. Otherwise, hehe, Brother Shen, you know what I'm doing."
Well, it turned out to be tracheitis. Shen Zhiqiu certainly understood this. He said, "Don't worry. I have several sets of headgear made by my daughter at home. You can choose whatever you want when the time comes. I guarantee that my sister-in-law will be satisfied."
It's true, the two of them got along better and better as they talked. In fact, Shuntian Prefecture is not close to An County, and it is much farther away than Fang County. But along the way, the two of them chatted about everything under the sun, and time passed quickly.
When they arrived at Shili Village, the yard outside Mr. Meng's house was surrounded by people.
Shen Zhiqiu and Li Quan protected Shen Youyou and Tang Yanli as they squeezed into the crowd, and saw a group of young men from the Nine Clans confronting a group of people.
The leader of the opposite side looked okay, but there was a hint of viciousness in his face.
Then he heard that person threatening Shen Mazi and the others: "Don't meddle in other people's business, or you might offend someone you can't afford to offend."
The stench of his breath was so bad that one could smell it a hundred miles away.
Shen Mazi and the others didn't say anything, mainly because they were afraid of causing trouble for Shen Zhiqiu. They thought that they just needed to protect Meng Yuanwai's family. If this man wanted to jump around, then let him jump around. They could talk about anything else after Shen Zhiqiu arrived.
But that man was not idle. He kept on making threats and insults. It was estimated that if the gap between the people he led and those of the Nine Clans was not too big, he would have taken direct action.
Didn't that person say, "Don't be shameless. You refugees were assigned here. Even if you were tigers before, you have to lie down here. You are the kind of people who are gathering to cause trouble? Do you believe that someone from the government will come and make you pay for it?"
He also threatened the Meng family: "Meng, you want to go back on your promise? What? You packed up your things secretly, do you think you can run away?
Let me tell you, as long as your household registration is still in An County, you can’t run away?
It is your blessing that your daughter is favored by me, don't be so shameless!"
Every word he said was so arrogant. If Shen Zhiqiu hadn't wanted to show Tang Yanli, he would have called him in the morning.
