At the gate of the Wang family, facing the menacing Luo Shi and the servants she threw out, the evidence of guilt was solid. What could Mrs. Wang do? After taking one look at his unlucky son, he could only pinch his nose and invite him into the house.
As soon as Luo Shi sat down, she scolded Wang Shancun for being vicious. Her son Zhao Bin was already in such a miserable state, yet she still wanted to bribe others to rub salt into her son's wounds and sow discord between him and his relatives...
What can the Wang family do? Apologize.
Therefore, Wang Shancun, the unlucky child, was held down by his mother and apologized.
"Mrs. Zhao, it's my fault. I can't forgive Zhao Bin. I shouldn't have let the servants say that he was ruined by so many servants. I shouldn't have said that he was so dirty that he was even worse than a little boy. I shouldn't have said that he had This end was caused by his eldest sister. It shouldn't be said that his becoming a waste is the result of his parents' improper upbringing and poor education..."
"That's enough!" Luo Shi was so angry that her eyes were dizzy after hearing such an apology. She pointed at Wang Shancun and her voice trembled, "Are you apologizing?"
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang was unhappy. Why didn't her son apologize? Her son pointed out his mistakes one by one when he apologized, which couldn't be more sincere!
"This is the apology from our Wang family. There is nothing you can do if you don't accept it!" Mrs. Wang continued, "But our Wang family apologizes sincerely. We have prepared another two hundred taels of silver for this, which is considered an apology to the fourth young master of your house. Literally. Mrs. Zhao, please take it back later." How about it, Mrs. Zhao, do you think this method of handling it sounds familiar?
Two hundred taels? Send away the beggar! Luo Shi wouldn't have been so angry if he hadn't said this. Now, Luo Shi was so angry that he stood up and walked out, "Okay, okay, your Wang family is very nice!"
Mrs. Wang didn't stop her from walking, she just walked away if she liked.
Until Luo Shi walked out of the Wang family's door, the Wang family did not retain her and then apologized properly. The Wang family's perfunctory attitude made Luo Shi's heart, liver and lungs hurt, and he marked the Wang family hard in his heart.
"Mother——" Wang Shancun called out cautiously.
"What are you shouting for? There are so many people who have added insult to injury, but you are the only one who is stupid and got caught." Mrs. Wang had nothing to do with her son. She ran too slowly. Look at how smart people like Yao Zining and Sheng Huaian are, and their tails are sweeping. Fast and good.
"Mom, do you know everything?" Wait, no, what do you mean there are so many people adding insult to injury? Could it be... Before he could figure it out, his thoughts were interrupted by his mother's next words.
Mrs. Wang took a sip of tea. Of course she knew it. Just because she knew it, she allowed her youngest son to mess around, just in time to vent her anger.
In the past, the Zhao siblings often bullied others like this. Whenever Zhao Yutan was wronged, Zhao Bin would make trouble for others. However, Zhao Bin was very ruthless and often tormented other people's children. Sometimes, before they, the parents and elders, can ask for an explanation, Zhao Yutan, the elder sister, will come out to apologize and make a fool of herself. The siblings often do this to make others care about them, which makes them look petty, but they don't care about them, which makes them feel uncomfortable to swallow. It's really disgusting!
Angrily, he approached the Zhao family, who also treated the matter perfunctorily.
This time, when several children saw the second girl from the Lu family making moves towards Zhao Bin, they seemed to have opened up the connections between Ren and Du, and they all took action to add insult to injury. However, these children are secretive and don't know each other.
The adults had a brief chat and decided not to stop them, but to let them do it and see how far they could go.
In fact, all of their families are quite grateful to the second girl of the Lu family. Children born into an official family like theirs should not be too kind, but the timing and propriety of taking action are also very important. Miss Lu Er is equivalent to teaching these children step by step.
"Okay, put away that anxious look of yours. What are you worried about? It's time to apologize and make amends. We have already done this." They all pressed their children's heads and apologized, and they were ready to apologize. , a full two hundred taels, what more do you want from the Wang family?
In fact, they all learned this from the Zhao family. Your Zhao family used to do this all the time, but now things have changed and it's your child's turn to be bullied. Our family just does it perfunctory, so you can't stand it? Are you allowed to bully others, but others are not allowed to retaliate?
"Aren't I worried about causing trouble for my family?"
Mrs. Wang didn't take it seriously, "What trouble can it cause?" With so many people taking action at the same time, how could the Zhao family be able to deal with it? The current minister of Dali Temple is Lord Yao Songwen Yao, not Ji Yongqing from the Xie family before. If the Xie family really helps the Zhao family deal with the Wang family, and the situation becomes desperate, she will ask him to join the Yao family or the Lu family directly! Her husband's official position is not high, but he has a practical job!
Luo Shi went back full of anger.
Although Mrs. Wang did not blame her son, Wang Shancun was not allowed to go out.
He couldn't get out, but his friends came to see him, and Lu Mingzhi was inexplicably invited.
The person who invited him was Sheng Huaian. The Lu family and the Sheng family had no contact in Beijing. Sheng Huaian invited him in the name of being both students of White Deer Academy, but they were just acquaintances in the academy.
"Go." Lu Songli encouraged him to go, "Tell me later who is going." The enemy of my enemy is my friend. We all have a common enemy and have taken action together, so there is a basis for cooperation.
Wang family
Lu Mingzhi was the person Sheng Huai'an personally picked up from the Lu family, and the two of them went to the Wang family together.
When he was approaching Wang's house, Lu Mingzhi discovered that in addition to the two of them, there were Yao Zining and Sun Congyi. The two waves of people met not far from the Wang's house gate. After saying hello, they went to the Wang's house together.
Lu Mingzhi felt quite comfortable getting along with them.
Sheng Huaian was a classmate and an inviter, and he was very friendly to Lu Mingzhi.
Yao Zining is from the Yao family, and Yao Songwen is his uncle. A few days ago, the Yao family, with the help of Lu Desheng, won the position of minister of Dali Temple. Now the entire Yao family has a good impression of the Lu family. He is naturally very friendly to Lu Mingzhi, Lu Desheng's second son.
The Sun family, like the Qin family, has been in the army for generations, but the Sun family guards the southern border, while the Qin family guards the northwest border. For the sake of the Qin family, Sun Congyi was also very friendly to him.
The four of them went to pay homage to the royal family elders first, as was the etiquette.
Mrs. Wang looked at the four young men, said a few words to them kindly, and then asked her servants to lead them to Wang Shancun's yard.
Wang Shancun, who was forbidden to go out, was very happy to see them, "Why are you here?" Seeing Lu Mingzhi, he kept muttering in his heart, who invited him here too?
Sun Congyi teased him as soon as he saw him, "You boy, you are so awesome. You dare to reach out to Zhao's backyard?"
Wang Shancun glanced at Lu Mingzhi and said self-deprecatingly, "Just stretch it out, how about it."
Sun Congyi put his arm around his shoulder, "Actually, I also..."
"You too?"
Sun Congyi gave him a 'you know' look.
Wang Shancun reacted immediately, "Okay, so you also took action?"
