MTL - Enter the Room-Chapter 27
Chapter 27
Yuan Yunzhong met Song Daliang under the grape arbor in the courtyard of Yinyu Hall.
The summer sun was like little golden arrows, shooting from among the branches and leaves on the stone tables and benches under the grape arbor, and also shooting at Song Daliang.
He was so hot that he couldn't stop wiping his sweat, and said, "Young Master Yuan, why don't we talk indoors! It's too hot here."
"It's stuffy in the room." Yuan Yunzhong said disapprovingly, his fair skin was like flawless suet jade, not only did he not sweat, but he was also cool.
Fine!
Song Daliang had nothing to say, took a sip of tea from the teacup on the stone table, and said affectionately: "Yunzhong, what do you think of me?"
Yuan Yunzhong looked at him in surprise.
Song Daliang said: "If it wasn't for me, your marriage would have been ruined, right?"
Yuan Yunzhong felt that what Song Daliang said was quite reasonable.
Song Daliang was not polite, and said: "You are a smart person. You should understand what the situation of the Song family is now. If I go around in circles with you again, I will look down on you!"
Yuan Yunzhong looked at Song Daliang with interest.
Song Daliang cut to the chase and said straight to the point: "Tomorrow the second child will have a funeral. I have a son, and I want my son to throw a basin for the second child."
So he needs the support of his second son-in-law.
Yuan Yunzhong pondered: "If I remember correctly, the second wife is still pregnant with one!"
Song Daliang waved his hand disapprovingly, and said: "What's the matter? Parents and children are ordered. The heir is older than the parent and child, and the family property should be inherited by the heir. It is clearly written in the law. If you want to go to court, then I also win."
That's true!
Song Daliang triumphantly stretched out his hand to pat Yuan Yunzhong's shoulder, but Yuan Yunzhong was a head taller than him, and he couldn't reach it even if he stretched it out, so he took his hand back a little embarrassingly, and said, "Yunzhong, you You can't be ungrateful! Zeng You is still staring at me!"
Yuan Yunzhong nodded and said, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Song Daliang said in a low voice: "Tomorrow we will throw the basin, our Tianbao is the eldest son and grandson, so you can suggest that our Tianbao throw the basin at that time."
Yuan Yunzhong readily agreed.
Song Daliang left happily.
Yuan Yunzhong asked Liu Zi to throw away the teacup he drank.
But Liu Zi dropped the teacup and came back and told him: The third master is here!
"Oh!" Yuan Yunzhong raised his eyebrows.
This is really my debut after you sing.
Song Daliang repays his kindness, what will Song Sanliang do?
He still met Song Sanliang under the grape arbor.
Song Sanliang was wearing a blouse that only scholars could wear, and there were two big dark circles on his fair face. When he saw Yuan Yunzhong, he bowed and saluted, and said, "I didn't expect what happened yesterday. I didn't expect it to happen like this. The second brother really never told us that his eldest girl was engaged. You have been wronged."
"It's okay." Yuan Yunzhong asked him to sit down at the stone table calmly, and said, "It's fine to talk about it."
"That's right, that's right." Song Sanliang said with some emotion, "We don't even know each other anymore."
Yuan Yunzhong smiled and said nothing, pointed to the teacup in front of him, and invited him to drink tea.
Song Sanliang picked up the teacup, was almost scalded by the steaming hot tea, and hurriedly put the teacup back.
"Why is this tea so hot?" He looked at his red fingers and frowned.
Yuan Yunzhong said: "Hot tea nourishes the stomach."
But this is too hot, right?
Song Sanliang suspected that Yuan Yunzhong did it on purpose.
But Yuan Yunzhong's calm and calm appearance doesn't look like it.
Song Sanliang had no choice but to suppress all these suspicions in his heart, showing a warm smile, like an elder who cares about the happiness of the younger generation, and asked carefully what books Yuan Yunzhong had read, how the elders in the family are in good health, and how well they live here. Not used to waiting.
Yuan Yunzhong answered casually.
Song Sanliang looked very satisfied, and said: "It will take three years for Erfang to stay here. I heard from you yesterday that it takes three months to get here from the capital. You have come back and forth, and half a year has passed. You have I never thought about staying in the Song family for the time being, and returning to the capital after the second wife is married and you are married."
This Song Sanliang has a lot more brains than Song Daliang.
Yuan Yunzhong smiled and said: "I really haven't thought about it."
Song Sanliang immediately put on a look like an elder guiding the younger generation, and said earnestly: "You may wish to think carefully! You are the son-in-law of the second room. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son. Now the second room does not have anyone who supports the family, you stay Come down, there is also a helper in the second room."
Yuan Yunzhong thought about it: "What you said makes sense."
Song Sanliang immediately smiled and said: "Second brother will be at the funeral tomorrow, logically, you are also qualified to throw the basin. But you also saw it yesterday, my elder brother is all about talking about things with three books and six rituals. If you throw the basin, he will definitely There is trouble again.
"I was thinking, why not let my youngest son help the second brother throw the basin."
"He's only four years old this year. In the future, I have to rely on your son-in-law to help with the second bedroom."
He looked at Yuan Yunzhong fixedly, and said, "What do you think?"
Yuan Yunzhong snorted in his heart.
Song Sanliang is implying that he will be given three years. Can he take away as much property as the Song family can?
No wonder Song Daliang is not his opponent.
Yuan Yunzhong was only silent for a moment, and Song Sanliang said: "My second brother not only left a large amount of land, but also the largest kiln factory in Jingdezhen."
The implication is that even if I give you all of Erfang’s property, you have to be able to eat it.
Yuan Yunzhong said: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Song Sanliang smiled and said: "Tomorrow, if someone proposes to let my youngest son throw a basin, Mr. Yuan agrees."
This is to tell Yuan Yunzhong that he not only has Yuan Yunzhong's arrangement, but also has companions.
Yuan Yunzhong readily agreed.
Song Sanliang left politely.
The sixth son didn't need Yuan Yunzhong's orders this time, so he wanted to throw out his tea cup.
Yuan Yunzhong gestured to him: This cup hasn't been used yet, don't waste it.
The six sons smiled foolishly.
Master Song Jiu sent someone to send a post, saying that he would come to visit Yuan Yunzhong.
Yuan Yunzhong sat under the grape trellis, tapped on the table, and then asked the six sons to accept the invitation.
Master Song Jiu came here much earlier than he thought.
"Yunzhong!" He greeted Yuan Yunzhong affectionately, sat down on the stone bench under the grape arbor, asked the accompanying servants to put the box on the stone table, and said, "Open it and have a look." ! Li Gonglin's landscape painting. It was collected by my father. For you."
Yuan Yunzhong was stunned, and repeatedly declined.
Grandfather Song Jiu sighed: "You accept it! I will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I beg you if I have anything to do."
Yuan Yunzhong personally poured a cup of tea for Grandpa Song Jiu, and said, "Speak up if you have something to say, I don't accept this gift."
Grandpa Song Jiu didn't force it either, and said: "You will be present for everything tomorrow. Your father-in-law is gone, and your uncle and third uncle have their own thoughts. There will be a funeral tomorrow, and they will definitely argue over the throwing of the basin. Yesterday, I discussed with several other elders of the Song family for a long time. I think that instead of causing them a scandal at the funeral, it is better to find an adult nephew in another room to throw a basin for Youliang, you How do you feel?"
Not so much.
All are of the same species.
Yuan Yunzhong agreed without hesitation, poured the tea poured for Grandpa Song Jiu, and signaled the six sons to pour a cup of tea for Grandpa Song Jiu again.
Master Song Jiu only felt that Yuan Yunzhong valued him and returned with satisfaction.
Yuan Yunzhong lazily returned to the hall.
Ice basins were placed in the four corners of the room, and the cold air that hit his face made him feel better.
He asked the sixth son: "What is your eldest lady doing?"
