Regarding Zhou Yaoniang's hometown in the countryside, Xu Tianyi was obviously in a state of confusion.
He had never heard Zhou Yaoniang mention her so-called hometown in the countryside. Even when the Zhou family was not prosperous, they lived in the county town rather than in the countryside.
"Hometown in the countryside? Where can Yaoniang have a hometown in the country?" In Xu Tianyi's opinion, Yaoniang should have nowhere to go this week. After all, his father is in exile, his mother committed suicide in prison, and his father's relatives are all unreliable. generation.
Who else could Zhou Yaoniang turn to?
Wang Cai chuckled lightly, and said as if he was breaking a pot, "What other hometown in the country can there be? Our eldest lady also has grandparents, so the place she returns to now is naturally her grandparents' house in Yangliu Town."
When Xu Tianyi heard this, the expression on his face was obviously a little embarrassed. ..
He rarely heard Zhou Yaoniang mention these people, so he really didn't know anything about Zhou's natal family.
"When did you go there? Did you send it there?" Xu Tianyi asked coldly
When Wang Cai heard this, he just said in a low voice, "I don't have the time to send people there. To be honest, uncle, there are many loyal servants in the Zhou Mansion. If I just tell anyone to contact them, they will send the lady there on their own."
After hearing Wang Cai's words, Xu Tianyi just muttered the words Yangliu Town.
Seeing that he remained silent, Wang Cai thought that he had already done everything he needed to explain, so he couldn't help but look at Xu Tianyi and said, "Uncle! Do you have anything else to ask? If not, I will But just leave."
Seeing that Xu Tianyi remained silent, Wang Cai was ready to leave.
As soon as he turned around, the servant next to Xu Tianyi blocked Wang Cai's way again. Wang Cai could only turn around and look at Xu Tianyi impatiently and said, "Uncle, do you have anything else to ask?"
But Xu Tianyi just said calmly, "Take someone to Yangliu Town to bring Yaoniang back to me."
Upon hearing this, Wang Cai immediately laughed twice, "Uncle, can you please let me pick up the young lady? Are you afraid that I will transfer the young lady?"
Faced with Wang Cai's almost provocative words, Xu Tianyi said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, why am I worried? I'm not letting you go alone, and your mother is still in your hometown. You can run away, but a monk can't run away from the temple." "
After receiving Xu Tianyi's answer, Wang Cai felt that he was asking for trouble.
He then whispered, "If you let me go there, I'm afraid it's useless. I can't pick up the eldest lady."
Upon hearing this, Xu Tianyi immediately asked, "Why?"
Wang Cai only whispered, "Because firstly, I can't influence the decision of the eldest lady's grandparents. Secondly, no one knows what the person who sent the eldest lady to Yangliu Town said! But I'm sure he must I didn’t say anything nice about you.”
"If it's just me who comes over and you stay in the capital, then their prejudice against you will definitely be deeper. After all, their granddaughter is so sick, but their grandson-in-law doesn't even look at her. Now he comes to pick her up. I’m not even here, tell me what this will make those two old people think.”
After listening to Wang Cai's words, Xu Tianyi felt that Wang Cai's words made some sense, but he didn't know what the situation of Zhou's natal family was, so before making a decision, he only said to Wang Cai, "What kind of family is Zhou's?"
Wang Cai only whispered, "It's just an ordinary farming family. The old man and the old lady are all from the countryside. They don't have much ability. They just gave birth to a daughter who was married to a minister. So they are quite famous in the countryside."
"And the old man is short-sighted. If you come to the door politely and greet the young lady in a friendly manner, they will not embarrass you. After all, they have many families and they cannot keep the young lady all their lives. So if you go over and show mercy, I will I guess it’s not a big problem.”
Listening to Wang Cai's analysis, Xu Tianyi was obviously still doubtful.
However, he also knew in his heart that if he still planned to sell off the Zhou family's property, then he would have to welcome Zhou Yaoniang back, and to welcome Zhou Yaoniang back, it seemed that he would have to go to Yangliu Town to perform a show. .
However, Xu Tianyi is also a cautious person. Although he decided to go to Yangliu Town to act in a play, he did not intend to act unprepared, so
He just said to the servant next to him, "Let's go home first."
Hearing that Xu Tianyi actually planned to go home, Wang Cai couldn't help but said, "Aren't you going to pick up the lady?"
Facing Wang Cai's inquiry, Xu Tianyi said coldly, "Who said I won't pick her up?"
"Then how did you get back home?" Wang Cai was obviously puzzled.
Xu Tianyi said calmly, "Every acting requires a full performance. It's my first time to go to Yaoniang's grandpa's house. Don't I have to prepare a generous gift? Don't I have to prepare myself well?"
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Wang Cai just smiled and said, "Uncle, what you are saying is that since my uncle plans to go there in person, the little man will not accompany you. I believe that your uncle has such good intentions, and the old gentleman and the old lady will definitely be taken care of by you." I was impressed by his sincerity.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the king was ready to run away.
However, Xu Tianyi only grabbed Wang Cai's clothes once more when Wang Cai was about to run away. Xu Tianyi said expressionlessly, "Wang Cai, why are you in a hurry? I want to go there this time, and you have to go too!" "
Hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Wang Cai immediately said, "Sister, please spare me. I will definitely have to get home the next day. My mother will die in a hurry if I don't come back."
Hearing this, Xu Tianyi seemed to have already considered this issue for the king. He said unhurriedly, "What's so difficult about this? I'll ask my servants to go over and talk to your mother." You're just hanging out at a friend's house and you won't go home tonight."
Upon hearing Xu Tianyi's words, Wang Cai immediately rejected his proposal, "That won't work. My mother won't believe anything anyone says. I have to go and say it myself before she will believe it."
Hearing Wang Cai's words, Xu Tianyi naturally understood what Wang Cai meant. Although he felt that Wang Cai had a lot of troubles, this request was not too much. He had to prepare for it for a while anyway.
So thinking of this, Xu Tianyi only said to Wang Cai, "What's so difficult about this? I'll ask my servant to accompany you there. If you tell your mother about this in person, your mother will believe it."
In Xu Tianyi's view, doing this was a double win. It not only solved Zhang's mother's disbelief in his words, but also prevented Wang Cai from playing tricks under his nose.
At this time, Wang Cai was obviously weighing the pros and cons of doing so.
After a moment, he leaned over with a sad face, "Uncle, I have told you all the news. You have the news I told you, but you are still worried about not being able to find anyone? Uncle, how about you let me go home? My home is in the Wang family." Village, I can run away even if I want to. A monk can’t run away from a temple.”
Seeing that Wang Cai was still trying to bargain with him, Xu Tianyi's face didn't look good. He lowered his face and said, "If you are not satisfied with my decision, I will take you away now! Let your mother worry all night." Nothing will happen, and you and I must be taken away, so you choose what to do!"
Once he heard Xu Tianyi's tone became tougher, Wang Cai also knew that he had no room for bargaining with Xu Tianyi.
So at the moment, he could only choose the relatively comfortable decision with a frown on his face.
"Since you have said so, uncle, what else do I have to say. I will just go with you, but I have to reassure my mother."
Seeing that Wang Cai gave in, Xu Tianyi raised his chin and agreed to Wang Cai's proposal.
The servants on the side saw that Wang Cai was still getting the same result after all the fussing and he couldn't help but taunted him, "Tell me, why did you waste so much talk just now? The result is still like this now."
Hearing the servant's ridicule, Wang Cai just sneered in his heart. He laughed at the servants for not understanding his strategy.
Of course he wouldn't say it out loud.
After Xu Tianyi reached an agreement with Wang Cai, he only selected two or three servants to accompany Wang Cai to Wangjia Village, while he himself returned to his courtyard with several other servants.
And when Xu Tianyi's carriage arrived at Xu's mansion, unexpectedly, a waiter suddenly jumped out next to the door of Xu's mansion.
When a group of servants saw the boy rushing over, they thought he was here to attack Xu Tianyi, so they almost caught the boy and beat him up.
Fortunately, the guy over there is still smart.
Ling, when a group of people on the other side were about to attack him, the guy immediately shouted loudly, "Boss Xu! Is it Boss Xu?"
Xu Tianyi felt very helpful when he heard the waiter call him boss, and judging from the way the waiter dressed, he didn't look like the kind of unemployed idle guy who would attack people.
So Xu Tianyi just told his men not to take action against this guy yet.
After all, if this person was sent by some boss to negotiate a business, it would not be polite to treat guests like this.
It was also because of this consideration that he then only motioned to the servants to bring the person to him.
When the other person came to his side, Xu Tianyi finally asked the guy, "Who are you? Why did you come to me?"
Facing Xu Tianyi's inquiry, the clerk just said calmly, "In reply to Boss Xu, I am a clerk from Tianxiang Pavilion."
Hearing this name, Xu Tianyi was obviously a little confused. He didn't understand where this place was, and he didn't know why the other party was looking for him.
Fortunately, the guy explained his intention before Xu Tianyi could speak.
"I wonder if Boss Xu knows a girl named Fang Yue'er."
When he heard Fang Yue'er's name, Xu Tianyi subconsciously said that he didn't know her. After all, he felt that Fang Yue'er was looking for him for no good reason.
But on the other hand, as long as he thought that he and Fang Yue'er were grasshoppers in the same boat, he also understood that he couldn't directly say that he didn't know her.
After all, what if this woman gets crazy and even cheats herself?
Considering this reason, Xu Tianyi chose to cautiously ask, "What's wrong with her?"
Don’t say you know them, don’t say you don’t know them, but you can advance, attack, retreat or defend.
However, in the eyes of the clerk, Xu Tianyi's words were actually equivalent to admitting that he knew Fang Yuer.
After all, who cares about the life and death of a stranger.
