Chapter 81 Showdown [Part 2]

【4900 words, two in one】
But I heard Wang Xifeng ask about the method.
Lai Wang hurriedly said: "First, let Shun'er get rid of his family first, and then change his face and silently..."
"inappropriate!"
Wang Xifeng directly interrupted him, shook her head and denied, "If you act like this, you will be troubled by it. If you are noticed by the East Mansion in the future, I will be unable to explain it all over!"
In addition to the endless troubles, if Laishun secretly succeeds, he will not be able to help her run and serve her in a legitimate manner.
Isn’t she a big loss?
Originally, there was a branch option for Lai Shun to surrender to Wang Taiwei after he went to the south to surrender. However, depending on Wang Xifeng's firm attitude, there was no need to say it.
Therefore, Lai Wang immediately proposed the second method: "Or it would be to ask grandma to come forward and coordinate with the East Mansion - my family is willing to give all the 3,000 taels of silver as compensation!"
He only said it was "as compensation", but did not say that he wanted to compensate the East Mansion.
"Hmph~"
Although Wang Xifeng understood it, she still snorted coldly: "Do you think the East Mansion lacks your 3,000 taels of silver? You have discussed your relationship for a long time and come up with such a bullshit way?"
"this……"
Lai Wang smiled and said, "It's really too hasty, so..."
Have you really only prepared these two rough plans when you come to your house?
Of course it is impossible!
After several months of planning, I have already considered everything I can.
But because of his careful thoughts, he did not dare to bring out the carefully thought-out plan in front of Wang Xifeng.
This second grandma is the most powerful. If she thinks that she has planned everything when she comes to the house, she just wants her master to be a puppet.
That will only have a negative effect!
It is even possible that Wang Xifeng will be pushed directly to the Ningguo Mansion.
So when I came to my house, I only dared to come up with these two rough methods, and then waited for Wang Xifeng to take advantage of the situation.
At this time, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but get up again, paced back and forth and pondered.
In theory, the title belongs to Jiao Da himself, and he has been no longer a slave for decades, so he should be the one who decides this title himself.
But that's not what's going on.
Jiao Da was a servant in Ningguo Mansion for more than a hundred years, and the title has been in Ningguo Mansion for more than fifty years. Now that he is confused and cheap outsiders, how can Jia Zhen agree?
Especially the East Mansion's urgent need for official titles is far better than that of the West Mansion...
Therefore, although some profitable things can be made, in Wang Xifeng's view, it is still a deal that is not worth the loss.
But if you refuse to come to your house or even order them to return the title to Ningguo Mansion, you will inevitably feel disheartened and resentful when you come to your house.
If Wang Xifeng had been angry with her deliberate deception earlier, she might have thought of cutting off her arm.
But now Wang and Xu have officially taken over the errands of Zhou Rui and his wife. If they want to cut them, they are afraid that they will not cut off their wrists, but will directly cut off their arms.
Besides, if this practice is spread, there will probably be few people who will dare to hike their subordinates wholeheartedly in the future.
In this way, the losses are no less than those who have been in trouble with the East Mansion, and the subsequent impact is even worse.
After thinking about it, these two choices are not a good deal!
Wang Xifeng stomped her feet in anger and scolded: "There are servants in other families who share the worries of their masters. You guys, let me take care of such a big trouble!"
As he said that, he shook his sleeve again: "Let's go back first, let me think about it carefully!"
Seeing her like this, she didn't dare to force her to come home, so she had to get up and take her back.
After leaving the inner courtyard, Xu was left on duty in the second gate deer top, while the father and son returned home uneasy, waiting for Wang Xifeng to summon him again, or Ping'er secretly revealed the news.
Because Lai Wang had the old habit of "fearing" again, he was spinning around like an ant in the house, which made Jiao Da feel sarcastic.
Lai Shun was afraid that his father would be injured when he fought, so he hurriedly pulled Jiao Da to set up a chessboard in the corner, and a few games of chess that his father had first and then came.
Jiao Da is a standard person with a big addiction to food, and his chess quality is extremely poor, so he will lose and win.
Fortunately, it is not much easier to come by. He is good at using one move to regret the chess technique, and has various accents of harming people.
Before half a plate was finished, the spit was sprayed everywhere, and the two of them were still happy.
This emotion gradually became infected by Lai Wang.
He took a deep breath, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and then sat back on the middle chair, blew the heat and barely calmed his mind.
Just at this moment, I suddenly heard Shuan Zhu in the yard screaming in panic: "Not good, no good! Something big happened, something big happened!"
Lai Wang's hands trembled, and the teacup first hit his knees, and then smashed it to pieces on the ground.
Lai Shun also made a staggering movement, and mechanically turned his head and looked out the door.
Could it be...
Wang Xifeng didn't even consider the consequences at all, and directly attracted the people from Ningguo Mansion?!
"Good prisoner!"
Jiao Daze shouted loudly, stood up with the chair, turned around and got into the west room.
"Come on uncle, come on brother Shun!"
At this time, Shuan Zhu ran in panting, bowed to Lai Wang first, and pointed to the outside and said, "Have you heard of it? Something big happened outside!"
Lai Wang was trembling, how could he say anything?
Lai Shun reached out and supported himself on the chessboard, stood up and asked, "What happened? You guy, please explain it clearly!"
Because his voice was hoarse and cruel, Shuan Zhu was frightened and took a step back half a step. Then Qiqi Aiai said, "I didn't understand it very well. It was a mess outside. It was said that the soldiers of Uxi were fighting!"
Are the soldiers from Uxi Kingdom fighting?
Laishun couldn't react for a while, and then asked after a while: "What does this have to do with our family?"
"No, it's not relevant."
Shuanzhu scratched his head and said, "I just heard everyone outside talk about this, so I'll tell you when I come back."
For a moment, Laishun really wanted to pounce on him and strangle him to death!
"Shun'er, scout guy!"
At this time, Jiao Da rushed out of the west room again, holding two wooden sticks covered with large iron nails in his hand, and a shiny dagger was tied to his waist.
He stepped forward and stuffed one of the maces to Lai Shun, turned his head and handed the other to Lai Wang.
Unexpectedly, Lai Wang suddenly jumped up and rubbed his thighs hard. However, after he relaxed, he realized that his leg was burned.
"no……"
Lai Shun looked at the mace in his hand and said speechlessly: "What are you doing? You have the strength to nail these many nails."
"Brother Shun!"
Upon hearing this, Shuan Zhu hurriedly came out to express his merits: "This is what Grandpa Jiao asked me to nail it, and even I bought the nail!"
hehe……
You are such a clever little ghost.
Lai Shun gestured with the mace to the sling pillar for a few times, and scolded him angrily: "I haven't found out this clearly, you have the nerve to come back and shout - go, go and ask if you have a good time when you go to Fenggong City. If you still can't find out, don't come back to have lunch!"
The smile on Shuanzhu's face suddenly collapsed, and he turned around and went out the door three times. Seeing that Laishun had no idea of ​​changing his mind, he went away with a drooping head.
…………
Let’s talk about Rongguo Mansion back to the beginning.
After the father and son left, Wang Xifeng became more anxious, but she had no intention of dealing with trivial matters at home?
So Ping'er was asked to pass the message, and all the matters were first managed by Lin Zhixiao's family. If they could not be dealt with, they would be pushed to the next day.
She paced back and forth in the hall, gritting her teeth and frowned, and she didn't even notice when Ping'er came back.
Inadvertently, she swept to Ping'er's obedient servant standing beside her. She suddenly stopped getting angry and kicked Ping'er with a weak leg, cursing: "Wandhoe, why don't you show off your tongue now?"
Don't say anything about the hoofs.
Ping'er is absolutely not qualified to take on the word "Lang" in front of her.
Seeing that Ping'er didn't react much.
Wang Xifeng sat on the couch again and said angrily: "Stop pretending to be a wooden man for me. Take out any stolen hearts and let me see how you connect inside and outside!"
"grandmother."
Ping'er stepped forward and poured her a cup of almond tea, and said carefully: "I am not an outsider here, so why do you talk about the connection between inside and outside?"
"Hmph~"
Wang Xifeng snorted, but did not refute this.
Why didn't she know that Ping'er would come to her house with her help?
Now that Ping'er is calling out, she has already become inclined to speak, but she still can't make up her mind.
After all, Ningguo Mansion said it was a relative, but there were several floors between them.
But she came to her family as her dowry family, and she is well-known as the first confidant.
Wang Xifeng is also a person who loves to protect his shortcomings and takes advantage of the situation. He always lets him pass the imperial examination and brings more benefits to him.
Ping'er also vaguely noticed this point. Although she understood the truth that too much words would lead to a loss, she thought about the fact that her family was now burning to death, and she couldn't help but speak: "In theory, Jiao Da was driven out by them, and she was not a slave. Isn't this title given to anyone she wanted?"
"Hmph~"
Wang Xifeng snorted coldly again and said, "If everything in this world can be done according to the truth, how can there be so many messy things?"
"But I heard..."
Ping'er said again: "In the early years, the noble families were excited because of the rank of the title. Could it be that the East Mansion was not concerned at all?"
"Can this be the same?"
Wang Xifeng rolled her eyes and said angrily: "That's because the concubine's son and slave want to fight for the throne, so naturally no one can tolerate it - but now they are snatching the title from the slaves, and they are afraid that they can set a precedent!"
To put it bluntly, it is the butt that determines the head.
What the nobles want to maintain is always class interests, not fairness and justice.
"Besides, if Brother Zhen is completely annoyed, even if he can't take away Jiao Da's title, can't he forcefully stop the inheritance and directly let the title be invalid?"
"Oh~"
Wang Xifeng said, and sighed again: "I am afraid of having a mortal grudge with the East Mansion. I am determined to steal the title and find a background for my cousins ​​in my family."
Although Laishun was born into a son of the Wang family, he is now a servant of Rongguo Mansion.
Ning Rong's two palaces have always been regarded as one, and Jiao Da voluntarily passed the title to Laishun, which could barely be considered internal circulation.
If Jia Zhen finally approves of this matter and then avoids the important and makes publicity, he might be able to exchange for some kindness and magnanimity.
But if Wang Xifeng takes the title back to the Wang family and lets the children in the family inherit it, the matter will be from privately granted by the subordinates to the dispute over interests of the two big families.
If Ningguo Mansion ignores this, it will be regarded as fearing the Wang family and losing all face in the circle of nobles.
Therefore, even if the Ningguo Mansion does not want to be hostile to the Wang family, he will have to bite the bullet and fight!
And this is also an important prerequisite for coming home and daring to tell Wang Xifeng about the matter.
But Wang Xifeng said these words, although they were all denying Ping'er's words, they had a firm idea in their hearts.
So he picked up the almond tea and drank it all, and said with a mouthful of whiteness: "Go and send me a father and son in."
"grandmother?"
Ping'er asked worriedly: "You want to agree..."
Wang Xifeng glanced at her and said angrily: "When he attacked Jue, he should make a golden body for you!"
Ping'er was overjoyed and said, "You have to mould grandma first, I'm just a virgin holding a bottle beside my grandma."
"hehe……"
Wang Xifeng pinched Ping'er's heart with her hand and sneered: "If you hold the bottle or not, you say something different. How can you say that you are a virgin?"
Ping'er was so happy that she let her bully her, and then she sent someone outside the door to summon Laishun's father and son.
But the maid took the errand and passed it to the servant on duty at the second sect.
When the servant arrived at Lai's house, Lai Wang had bandages tied on his legs, and because of these incidents, he was much calmer than before.
Instead, it is hard to sit and stand still.
Gain just now, Shuanzhu brought back more detailed news, but on the 24th of last month, the fleet of Uxi Kingdom suddenly appeared in the outer port of Yangcheng.
First, a small group of troops pretended to be pirates and tempted the Guangdong-Guangdong Navy to launch an encirclement and suppression.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of gunboats surrounded each other on both sides, and in less than two hours of fierce fighting, they annihilated most of the Guangdong-Guangzhou Navy. In order to chase and kill the remaining ships, they even broke into Yangcheng Port.
Later, although he was forced to retreat by the fort, he blocked the foreign port and did not allow any ships to enter and exit.
The local officials did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered people eight hundred miles to report to the court.
The messenger ran for seven days and seven nights without changing horses. He arrived in the capital early this morning, and the city was full of wind and rain.
Because he was thousands of miles apart, Lai Wang and even Jiao Da had no feelings about this. He only cursed the foreigners for a few words, and then focused his attention on Xi Jue.
But how can I calm down when I come to the end?
No matter how I hear this, I feel a little familiar.
But isn’t my Daxia invincible in the world?
Why did you still come up with such a script?!
“It’s not uncommon.”
Seeing his nervous look, Jiao Da comforted him: "When Taizu was in power, he said that this navy was like a good person, and he was still thinking about creating a blue sea naval army."
"But not long after the new navy was started, the Taizu left the world and later the materials prepared were transported to the capital for Emperor Shizong to use to build the palace."
"You think, these guys were like this more than fifty years ago, and it was nothing strange that they could lose a lot of money and lose. To see the real chapter, they had to be on land!"
Lai Shun: "..."
Could this Emperor Shizong be the reincarnation of Lord Lafayette?
However, he still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Although the Xia Kingdom's navy was not good, the breech gun still had some advantages against the breech gun.
Even if the port is blocked, it will not cause people to come to the capital.
Just at this moment, the summoned servant came over.
The father and son of Lai did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly followed the servant to the mansion.
I don't need to say much about anxiety on the road.
When they saw Ping'er waiting outside the door, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Ping'er didn't say anything, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with answers.
As expected.
When he got into the house, Wang Xifeng said in one sentence: "I am worried about you, those who are uneasy, and I am responsible for your responsibility! Forget it, I will do this because of our master-servant relationship!"
The father and son of Lai were overjoyed and were waiting for the big gift to thank her, but he heard her say, "But the matter has to be discussed for a long time. Brother Zhen may not agree to this suddenly."
Lai Wang asked carefully: "What does Grandma Yi mean?"
"Sister-in-law Zhen from the East Mansion had previously investigated our tire deal." Wang Xifeng said: "Now her family has reached a point of being damaged due to that grand funeral. When our business becomes prosperous, they will most likely ask for a visit."
Speaking of this, she sighed and said, "For the sake of your private affairs, I am afraid that the mansion will give up some benefits. I don't point you to remember this kindness. If you calm down and cause me less trouble, I will thank God."
If I really didn't expect to come to my house to remember the kindness, I wouldn't have said this.
Moreover, when this transaction was manipulated by Wang Xifeng, she had always been rude in her temptation to Ningguo Mansion.
Now that it was Mrs. Wang who led it, she thought of using it for an exchange, and it was really a model that harmed the public and benefited the private sector without any expenses!
But it is said that the tire shop will be opened in August at the earliest.
Although the father and son of the Lai family were worried that something would happen again over time, they saw that Wang Xifeng had made up his mind, but they couldn't raise any questions.
So he thanked him so much and said that he would send the three thousand taels of silver back.
Wang Xifeng said in a hurry, but she had no intention of shirking her.
But she didn't take the money for nothing. She solemnly promised in front of Laiwang and his son that after she inherited the title, she would ask her parents' family to arrange a real official position for Laishun.
Although it is at most a sixth rank, it sounds one level lower than Jia Rong's Long Monkey King who bought 1,200 taels - and he is still the most precious Da Nei Guard.
But even if it is not considered the difference in connections, Jia Rong bought a false position as a candidate, while Wang Xifeng promised a real job!
The father and son of the family naturally thanked each other again and then said goodbye.
Chapter completed!
