(Don’t watch it yet, watch it again in ten minutes)
When Cheng Chumo heard this, he couldn't help being slightly startled and asked subconsciously.
"Cui family? Which Cui family?"
"Who else can be Cui? Boling Cui..."
Cheng Chuliang curled his lips. Then, he withdrew his gaze from the distant yard and returned to the small yard in front of him.
My brother is just impractical.
How dare you take a fancy to such a big yard? How is that possible? Don't say it's from the Cui family, even if it's from any other family, it's all for nothing - there's no money!
It's different for me. This small courtyard is not big, and it's obviously abandoned. As long as my brother-in-law is willing to borrow money, buying it won't be a problem.
"Ah, from the Cui family——"
Cheng Chumo cursed with some disappointment and said harshly.
"What's wrong with the Cui family? Can't we buy the Cui family's? Who can say for sure about this kind of thing? Maybe one day the Cui family will be finished - hey, by then, maybe we can give it away for free. …”
Cheng Chuliang:......
Ah, brother, are you afraid that you are going crazy?
However, he did not dare to ask.
"Let's go, let's go, don't keep grandma waiting..."
With that said, Cheng Chumo urged his horse to leave.
For more than a month, because their mother, Sun, needed to rest, they had been staying here at Wangchuan Villa. They even had the chance to go back to Chang'an City.
Cheng Chuliang hurriedly followed, discussing while chasing. .
"Brother, I can't buy the yard you like anyway. Why don't you lend me the money you have first - I'll pay you back when I have it -"
Cheng Chumo cursed angrily.
"roll--"
…
I am even more timid when I am close to my hometown.
When he was approaching Wangwa Village, Wang Zi'an suddenly felt guilty. The last time he left, he was beaten out.
Although no one was killed, no muscles were broken or bones were broken, but the black hands were not missing. In the blink of an eye, he was back again.
What a blessing -
No, it’s this old boy Li Shimin who is causing trouble!
Forget it, sooner or later anyway——
Later, I have to tell Ren to be more noble and focus on intimidation. Just show them some color and don't do anything harsh. Otherwise, when the Marquis of Chang'an County went home to repair, he was blocked by the villagers, and the fight between the two sides would spread throughout the streets the next day.
As he spoke, Wangwa Village was already in sight.
"Sure enough, heroes don't ask where they come from. I didn't expect that a small village like Wangwa would actually have hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and a talent like Zian would come out——"
Looking at the unremarkable village in front of him, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sigh.
Ah, this——
What nonsense are you talking about?
Looking at Wang Zi'an who looked a little nervous, Li Shimin couldn't help but reveal a narrow smile.
Before the carriage reached the village, a group of people were already seen looking at the entrance of the village from a distance. When they saw the carriage, they rushed up to them.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but gasped.
He opened the curtain and whispered instructions.
"Ahem, Rengui, cheer up later - cough, it's mainly because these fellow villagers of mine seem to be a little too enthusiastic, so be careful when you strike later..."
Xue Rengui:......
Just going back to my hometown——
What does it mean to start softly?
Ah, my apprentice’s beating has nothing to do with me——
Wang Zi'an felt that he could go down and stop Xue Rengui's murder later and be a good person.
At this moment, the shouts from the crowd had already spread along the wind.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the Marquis is back, please be smart -"
Wang Zi’an:……
Until the carriage was surrounded by villagers and elders, several elders from the clan, whom he had no memory of, held his hand with a look of sadness on his face. When they asked him about his welfare, he was completely confused.
Ah, what is going on——
"Oh, when my second brother was alive, I often told him that this child Zian has a full sky, a round earth, and an extraordinary beauty. He looks like he will be a promising person at first glance. You see, isn't he promising? ?"
"Yes, yes, this child Zian has been smart since he was a child, and he is good at reading -"
"Let me tell you, the feng shui of our Old Wang family is better. Our ancestors have blessed us - our Old Wang family has given birth to such a great prince..."
"..."
The stars hold the moon.
Ah, no, uncle, have you forgotten something? Aren't you the one who shouted to break my legs last time, but I gave you a fat beating?
It's only been a few days and you forgot.
Looking at the enthusiasm of the villagers, Xue Rengui was deeply moved.
This is what Master is like!
I know, it must be that the master has never forgotten his hometown when he is rich and noble. This is why he is like today, where the whole village mobilized to welcome the beautiful talk outside the village!
Well, it’s decided!
I, Xue Rengui, must be a person like Master. One day, when I am successful, I must be kind to the people in my hometown. I hope that one day I can return to my hometown and be supported and loved by the people in my hometown like Master.
Well, Xue Rengui stood by his master's side, with his chest raised and his belly raised, looking very proud.
Dazed and dizzy, Wang Zi'an was dragged into the village by a group of elderly men.
Wang Ke, who came to ask for information, came forward with the crowd with a happy face.
"Zian——"
"Third uncle?"
Looking at Wang Ke, who was dressed in brocade clothes and was obviously a little fat, surrounded by a group of people like stars holding the moon, Wang Zi'an almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
The yard that Wang Zi'an had sold off had actually been vacated, and it was cleaned cleanly and specially staffed to serve it.
Wang Zi'an looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard, and his eyes felt a little soft.
This is the first world I saw when I woke up after traveling through time.
"Everyone in the clan feels that you are a big shot in our Wangwa Village after all. It would be shameful for the village not to leave a yard, so they cleared this yard for you. So what - the land deeds and house deeds are all here - —”
When Wang Zi'an, Li Shimin and others sat down, Wang Kecai pushed a gold-painted box over with a happy face.
Wang Zi’an:……
He glanced around at the old men in the room.
"Zi'an, what the patriarch means is what we mean - the dignified Marquis of Chang'an County has lost his ancestral home in his own village. It's outrageous. It's outrageous. Our old Wang family can't let outsiders see the joke..."
Clan leader?
He couldn't help but look back at Wang Ke with strange eyes. His third uncle, who was barely a close relative, had become the clan leader of Wang Wa?
However, now he finally understands why everyone seems to be following this third uncle's lead. His feelings are different now that he is the leader of the clan.
However, are you sure it's not a joke to let such a person who can't talk to his wife become the leader of the clan?
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Who said the ancient people were simple and honest?
I'll slap you awake——
This person's way of taking advantage of others is worse than those of you who think you have been severely beaten by society.
That's okay. It might not be a bad thing to let this cowardly and honest third uncle be the clan leader. At least he's much better than that piece of shit Wang Kui.
Wang Zi'an had no intention of dwelling on this.
They are just a group of people with the simplest survival wisdom.
Now that he is a Marquis and has returned home in glory, is it possible that they still dare to stand up against him?
When Su Qin came home with the seal of the Six Kingdoms, his wife and sister-in-law knelt down to welcome him out, and his father and brother also changed their faces to face each other. This is how people are so sophisticated and the world is so cold and warm. There is really no need to be serious.
Anyway, I don't plan to have any in-depth interactions with them.
They were just members of the clan in the previous life, and it was enough to be able to sit down and talk peacefully.
"Okay, I'll accept it. I'll have someone send the money to everyone later -"
Wang Zi'an said, casually handing the gold-painted box to Xue Rengui who was standing aside.
"Master Marquis, you are too out of touch. It's not worth anything. It's just a small kindness from the old and young men in the village. You have done so much for the old and young men in our village, and we didn't even say a word of thanks. You If we are not even willing to accept this small kindness, we are just old faces, but we really can’t explain it to the old and young gentlemen..."
An old man who had lost most of his teeth and whose speech was so leaky that Wang Zi'an himself didn't know what to call him stood up with a flushed face.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but look confused.
What have I done for you——
Does a beating count?
Who would have thought that as soon as the old man's words fell, he immediately aroused a response from the surrounding people. Even Wang Ke was beside him, mumbling words of advice.
"Yes, Zian, accept it - forget it, it is a small kindness and compensation from the fellow villagers - if you don't accept it, we will really have no shame to see our second brother and second sister-in-law in the future..."
Wang Zi’an:……
"Yes, Zian, there are no outsiders here. Your fifth grandfather and I are old and confused. I am not afraid of embarrassment when I speak. There are some things that they are embarrassed to say. As for me, son, you must accept these land deeds and house deeds. ——”
The leaky old man sighed as he spoke.
"Think about the time when those people in the village were supercilious and incompetent. They treated you so much, bullied you, and ostracized you. Later, in order to cling to the Wang family in Taiyuan, that bitch Wang Kui even wanted to expel you from the Wang family and dig up your parents' graves. ——They are sorry for you..."
Damn it, is there such a thing?
Wang Zi'an's face turned dark. After looking around at the people sitting in the living room, they started to think about hitting them. Seeing Wang Zi'an looking over, the group of people couldn't help but lower their heads, with a look of shame on their faces.
When Wang Kui wanted to dig up the graves of Wang Zi'an's parents, they knew about it. Although they had no help, they did not stop him.
"But, Zian, you are such a good boy. When your father was alive, not only did he not blame us, but he also repaid evil with kindness. He rebuilt the family tree and ancestral hall in our village, and exempted the young and old men in our village from taxes and labor... "
Looking at the fifth grandfather who was full of emotion, trembling and leaking teeth, Wang Zi'an looked confused.
No, when did I become so good?
Why don't I know that myself?
If I knew that you people wanted to dig up my ancestral grave, would I exempt you from taxes and labor?
Want to eat shit?
If I don’t beat you to death, I’ll be considered kind-hearted——
Thinking of this, he looked back at Li Shimin and Wei Zheng sitting next to him, and saw Li Shimin and Wei Zheng nodding slightly, with a proud smile on their faces.
All he needs to do is carve a few big words on his forehead: Come and thank me——
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be speechless.
Needless to say, this must be the work of both of them.
He didn't even know how to complain.
But he also knew that he was trying to clean up the aftermath for himself. In this era, being kicked out of the family and prohibited from worshiping ancestors would be a shocking scandal.
This is goodwill, and it is also building a character for yourself, and you must recognize this favor.
After the conversation started, Wang Zi'an realized that a lot of things had happened in Wangwa Village during his absence.
First, Wang Kui and others wanted to secretly dig up the graves of Wang Zi'an's parents in the middle of the night, but were caught on the spot by Wannian County officials who patrolled here.
Is it even necessary to think about it?
The officers of Wannian County and the county government are full and exhausted, so they will not go to patrol this nook and cranny.
This must have been arranged by Li Shimin.
Then all Wang Kui's hardcore minions were taken into prison and have not been released until now. Wang Kui and Er Gouzi were taken in again soon after. Immediately afterwards, Gao Ting, the chief minister of Wannian County, came forward in person. On the grounds that Wang Kui's character was defective and he was not suitable to serve as the clan leader anymore, he persuaded Wang Wa's elders to remove Wang Kui from his position as clan leader, and supported Wang Ke to become the clan leader.
Later, Wang Zi'an was granted the title of Marquis, and his parents pursued the title. In the name of Wang Zi'an, the court reestablished the family tree and ancestral hall for the villagers in Wangwa Village and exempted them from taxation and labor.
Properly repay evil with kindness and never forget your hometown!
Now let alone Wang Wa, word has spread even in the surrounding villages. Who doesn't know that Wang Wa has a strong character, unparalleled benevolence and righteousness?
"Zian, we people are so shameless - I, I apologize to you for those bastards in the village -"
As he said that, the old man lifted his hem, held Wang Zi'an's hand, and was about to kneel down tremblingly.
Wang Zi’an:……
Sure enough, people become better with age, and foxes become mischievous when they are old. Kneel down if you want, and help me fuck me——
Wang Zi'an couldn't help complaining in his heart, and stretched out his hand to pull the old man up.
No matter what, if I make this old man who claims to be my fifth grandfather really kneel down today, he will really be criticized.
In any case, this is Lao Li's intention.
Wang Zi'an sighed silently, supported the old man who called himself Fifth Grandpa, looked around at the so-called tribesmen with complex eyes, and then stopped at Wang Ke's somewhat bewildered face.
"Well, in that case, I will accept this offer——"
Upon hearing what Wang Zi'an said, everyone in the room secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Wang Zi'an is exempt from taxes and labor, they are really worried about Wang Zi'an.
Several old people winked at Wang Ke, and Wang Ke stood up with some embarrassment.
Whether they respect me or fear me, it's fine if they can sit down so peacefully. To be honest, to this day, I have no intention of getting serious with such a group of people.
