Chapter 80 Showdown [Part 1]
In fact, according to the original itinerary, Laiwang should be able to come back in the afternoon.
However, in order to leave time to reunite with his wife and children, he deliberately delayed his trip along the way, and then returned home at night.
That night, Xu's family prepared a table of delicious dishes. The three of them sat in the living room with Jiao Dawei, but the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn.
So Laishun even had the illusion of eating a slaughter.
However, since I have experienced the influence of Rongguo Mansion in the officialdom, I have also heard of the vicious methods of some wealthy families. Laishun can now gradually understand why I am so stun like a great enemy.
One can't make a fuss...
It's really a death for the whole family!
After hesitating for a while, Laishun tentatively said, "Or why don't we give up this title and just want to take it off..."
Bang!
Before he could finish the word "de-remember", Jiao Dao slapped the chopsticks on the table and said angrily: "What's the bullshit about this?! If you have this intention, you don't have to regard me as your godfather anymore! I won't pass the title to you!"
Laishun just gave his godfather a blank look, and then solemnly looked at his own father, waiting for him to make the final decision.
"Old brother, calm down."
Although I haven't started drinking, Lai Wang's tongue is a little bit slapped.
He also noticed this, so he held his face with both hands and rubbed it hard.
Then he said to Lai Shun again: "You are not like Lai Shangrong. You have been a student since you were a child. Although you have fallen into the list in both spring exams, you have the reputation of a juren and the support from the mansion, it is not difficult to make up for the actual shortcomings in the future."
"If our family missed this time, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a few more lives to have the opportunity to shine our ancestors!"
As he said that, he grabbed the wine glass and tilted his head to drink.
Feeling his father's persistence in "Glorious Family", Laishun raised his glass and compared, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you come as planned? I will officially show up with my second grandma tomorrow - if she refuses to help, we will go to the Ministry of War to report directly!"
As he said that, he drank all the wine in his glass.
The father and son were immersed in the passion of "Feng Xiaoxiao Xi Yi Shuihan", but Jiao Da next to him was very dissatisfied.
Sucking the osmanthus in the cup, he said with confusion: "What's the second grandma who can help you? - according to your father and mine, let's go directly to the Ministry of War to report the title. Brother Zhen dares to send someone to stop him. I will go to Jingyang Zhong to report the case, and see who can ask for good things!"
Lai Shun couldn't help rolling his eyes at him again and said angrily: "You always have a plot in the play. The spectators look so happy. But to this point, it's a mortal hatred that cannot be resolved!"
"At that time, even my second grandmother will hate us - although it was 'man for money and birds died for food', I didn't go to the beginning to die for the family!"
The old man hummed, but still dissatisfied and said something, "It's not good to be hard-working and procrastinating, and it's not good enough. If he really acts, he probably won't be willing to watch it."
I feel as if I didn't hear it.
If he was a spectator, he would not wish that the play would be more refreshing and intense, as the stage would be burned directly, and the actor would not take him away.
As for what was left in the theater the next day, what should he care about, as a spectator?
But the problem is...
Now I am here to set up a stage to perform on my own. I can’t just ignite the fire on the stage just to make it feel good, right?
Seeing that no one paid attention to him for a long time, Jiao Da muttered something like "unfilial" or "rebellious son".
Laishun still ignored him.
Anyway, the father and son's status has been decided, and Jiao Da will not pass the title to others because of some resentment.
"father."
Lai Shun picked up the wine glass again and said to his father with a sigh: "It's considered a strong wine today, let's meet one of us!"
…………
Because they had eaten too much Zhuangxing wine, the next day when the father and son got up, they looked listless.
However, time is tight, so I don’t care about trying to cheer up anymore.
Just after Chen Shi, Xu took the waist card and opened the way and found it directly to Wang Xifeng's courtyard.
At that time, Wang Xifeng was having a meal. When she heard that the three of them came to the house, she was a little surprised, but she thought she had made a mistake when she was handing over the job.
So he hurriedly ordered Ping'er to lead the person into the main hall.
As a result, the three of them came to the house and received a gift. Then Lai Wang said in a trembling voice: "Grandma, what a great joy!"
Wang Xifeng still thought he wanted to talk about the things in the village, but after thinking about it, he really couldn't guess what great joy could be in the village.
So he frowned and asked, "Where is this stupid person who comes from?"
"Second grandma!"
This time, Laishun replied excitedly: "My godfather had a card yesterday, but it turned out that he had a hereditary title!"
"What?!"
Wang Xifeng was very surprised now, so she stood up and took two steps forward, stared at him condescendingly and said, "Say it again! That Jiao Da...he really has a hereditary title?!"
Maybe she was blocked by some objects, she took a step back as she said.
"The godfather does have a title!"
Lai Shun said like a cannon: "It was the cavalry commander who was awarded by Emperor Shizong. He originally had an official position as a Dragon Imperial Guard, but his godfather thought about the relationship between master and servant, insisted on refusing his official position, and vowed to work as a servant in Ningguo Mansion for the rest of his life."
"Because he had no children, he wanted to wait until his life was over, so he found someone to inherit the title in Ningguo Mansion. However, he was driven out by Mr. Zhen a few days ago."
"Although he was disheartened at that time, he was still thinking about his old love. So while accepting me as his adopted son, he also hoped that the East Mansion would repent and send someone to take him back to the mansion."
"Who knew that in the past six months, the East Mansion had ignored his godfather, so he completely stopped thinking about it. He made it clear yesterday and said he wanted to pass the title to me!"
He had previewed these words many times, so he finished them in one go, and he didn't give others a chance to interrupt.
Wang Xifeng tried to interrupt several times, but failed to do it. After listening, she lost her words.
After a while, I squeezed out a whisper: "No wonder the East Mansion does not have his body contract, but it turns out..."
Although the hereditary title of the Cavalry Commander can only be passed down once, and after being surrendered to the title, it is only equivalent to the sixth-rank Yunqi Commander.
But that was a hereditary Lord after all!
Besides, the title of Rongguo Mansion fell on her husband Jia Lian, and only a cavalry commander was left. This was not the case. How could the whole mansion put his hope on Baoyu?
Thinking of this, he said with a sore mouth: "This is indeed a huge deal for your family..."
Halfway through, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, widened her triangle eyes of Danfeng, pointed at Laishun and cursed: "You monkey boy are making trouble every day?! If you hadn't known the great benefits of this, how could your family let you recognize an old man as your father?"
As he said that, his pretty eyes rushed towards Lai Wang like a sword. Xu went there.
Lai Wang's body trembled and crawled on the ground, "I dare not deceive my second grandma. Jiao Da looked at me and actually saved more than 3,000 taels of silver! I was greedy at the beginning, so I agreed to let Lai Shun recognize him as his adoptive father, but I didn't expect that the money was the official salary he had saved over the years!"
The official salary was real, but Jiao Da's mouth leaked, and the holes in his hands were quite large. He had 80 taels of silver every year, and it was scattered by him shortly after he got it.
But the so-called three thousand taels of silver was to cover most of the old money that had accumulated for three generations of people in the family.
It can be said that in order to make things look more reasonable, I took advantage of the situation and gambled almost all my belongings!
Wang Xifeng was skeptical about this, looked Laishun again, turned back to the couch, pondering without saying a word.
The three of them knew that it was a critical moment, and they held their breath and did not dare to speak, for fear that speaking rashly would have the opposite effect.
At this moment, Ping'er gritted his teeth beside him and said with a forced smile: "This is such a great thing! I am used to the fact that grandma asks this and that, and it is inevitable that there will be a gap between them. Rushun Ge'er got an errand after he inherited the title, and if grandma has any official contacts, he can ask him to go..."
Speaking of this, Wang Xifeng had already cast a knife-like gaze.
But Ping'er still insisted on saying everything: "You have grown up, and my grandmother and I are all serving you old. Is there any closer and better way to send you in the world than this?!"
"Hmph~"
Wang Xifeng snorted and said sarcastically: "I don't know if you have any connection with this monkey, but I'm willing to sell that clever tongue for him!"
Before Ping'er could reply, she rushed to Lai Wang and raised her chin: "Tell me, you have secretly calculated what regulations you have done!"
