I became famous for writing ridiculous stories in ancient times

Chapter 21



"Mom, I'm back."

Fu Wenyu walked in with a smile on his face.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou saw his happy expression, she was surprised and said: "Wen Yu, have you made an agreement with Landlord Chen?"

Fu Wenyu nodded immediately, "Yes, we have agreed. Landlord Chen promised not to mention this matter again, so we don't have to worry anymore. He is quite easy to talk to, and he didn't get angry. I heard you didn't make a fuss. , I discussed it with him in a good voice. "Of course, he omitted to scare the other party. If he marries his son, the descendants of the Chen family may be fools, or there may be fools.

"That's great."

Although he had expected it, Zhou was still extremely surprised when he learned the news.

She always had the same reservedness towards Landlord Chen as ordinary people facing people of high status. Although she is also a scholar's wife, Fu Qingshan has not been admitted to the scholar examination for many years. He lives in a very ordinary circle and does not know any noble people. Landlord Chen is different. Not only do he have slaves at home, but there are also tenants from his family in the village.

Therefore, in Zhou's view, Landlord Chen was a high-ranking figure. She had been vaguely worried that if her family refused the other party's proposal of marriage, he would let his daughter be snatched away so that the raw rice could be cooked.

Fortunately, it's all solved now.

Mrs. Zhou cried with joy, "It's great now. Mom is finally at ease."

Fu Wenyu was also very happy to see her relieved, "Mom, Landlord Chen has solved the problem, but Second Aunt can't take it lightly. She still needs to give a warning."

Zhou nodded in agreement, "You are right."

I don't know whether it was the successful resolution of Landlord Chen's matter that gave her confidence, or whether today's quarrel with Aunt Fu made her realize the reality. In short, Mrs. Zhou now felt that her son was right and could no longer leave Mr. Liu alone.

Seeing this, Fu Wenyu asked: "Mom, what do you think we should do?"

He decided to listen to Zhou's opinion first. After all, he was a modern thinker, and the methods he came up with may not necessarily conform to the ideas of the ancients. Secondly, he also felt that it was rare for Mr. Zhou to start to change, and he wanted to encourage him.

Zhou thought for a moment and said, "Tell your grandfather about this."

"Wen Yu, teaching your second aunt is the second best. The key is not to let her make noises outside." She said with a serious expression: "The reputation of my daughter's family is very important. Now that the matter is resolved, we can't let Ronger and Chen The landlord’s son is involved, so it’s best to make them agree not to spread the news.”

Fu Wenyu didn't expect this.

"Mom, I listen to you."

"Well, I'm afraid my grandfather's words don't carry enough weight. I'll invite the clan leader again."

After all, Fu Dashi favored the second wife when the family was separated, and later performed poorly when Landlord Chen proposed marriage, favoring sons over daughters. Therefore, Fu Wenyu felt that he had to find someone with more weight to hold the line.

The choice is of course the clan leader.

Fu Wencheng has been the clan leader for many years and his actions are remarkable. Moreover, Fu Wenyu had borrowed books and sold favors to others before, so he felt that asking Fu Wencheng to uphold justice was a good choice. Another hidden reason is that Fu Wencheng's son will take the scholar examination next year. If there is a scandal in Fujiacun, it will be detrimental to his son.

It is of course a scandal to marry a girl from the tribe to someone who is a fool and to be a child bride.

So Fu Wencheng naturally favors his own side!

After his explanation, Zhou also nodded. So Fu Wenyu took the two packs of snacks packed back from the teahouse today and knocked on the door of the patriarch's house before it got dark.

After hearing his intention, Fu Wencheng's face turned dark immediately.

"Third uncle is confused!"

Landlord Chen is a kind man, but his son is not a good man! As long as the family cherishes their daughter, who is willing to marry their daughter to a fool? !

Not to mention that there is a trouble-making Liu family here.

Fu Wencheng stood up immediately and said seriously: "This matter must not be tolerated!"

So that evening, Fu Dashi and Fu Qingshi, who had returned from work in the fields, were preparing to eat when they saw the serious-looking patriarch Fu Wencheng, as well as Zhou and Fu Wenyu.

Fu Wenyu glanced at the dishes and secretly curled his lips.

A bowl of pickles, a bowl of loofah soup, and a bowl of brown vegetables. When four people ate, there were only three dishes, none of them meaty at all, and each person only had a bowl of porridge in front of them. Unlike their family, although they are observing filial piety, they still have eggs with every meal, and other dishes are not the same.

At the same time, he also discovered that there were only three people in the house, Fu Dashi, Fu Qingshi and Fu's second aunt Liu. Chunhua didn't know whether she hadn't come back or was in the kitchen and didn't show up.

That's just right.

"Wencheng, Qingshan Wife, Wen Yu, why are you here?" Fu Dashi, who was sitting directly opposite the door, was the first to see the person, and suddenly asked in surprise: "What happened?"

Obviously, he also knew that Fu Wencheng, as the patriarch of the Fu clan, always went to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. To come here so late, there must be something important to discuss.

Fu Dashi didn't know what he thought of, and his expression suddenly changed, "Could it be, Wen Yu, you want to sell the land?" He thought about it and felt that this was the only thing worthy of the clan leader's trip.

Fu Wencheng snorted coldly, "Third uncle, do you only have eyes for the earth?"

"When your family was divided before, Wen Yu, as the eldest grandson, only got 20% of the land. This is against the clan rules! But since Aunt Qingshan and Wen Yu both agree, I can't say anything more."

"After all, this is your family matter."

"But I didn't expect that you, Third Uncle, would be so foolish. What kind of family is Landlord Chen? Although he has a lot of money, his son is a fool!"

Fu Wencheng was heartbroken, "Aren't you afraid of being criticized by others for marrying your granddaughter to such a family? When you, Third Uncle, are a hundred years old, how will you face Uncle Qingshan?!"

What a good scolding!

Fu Wenyu almost wanted to applaud him, thinking that the village chief really spoke his mind.

After listening to this, Fu Dashi's expression froze.

"I, I didn't say I wanted to marry Rong to him." He looked at Zhou, "Qingshan wife, when Landlord Chen sent someone to propose marriage, I said that after the family was divided, her marriage would be decided by my parents, so let him ask you."

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhou pursed her lips tightly, straightened her chest and said, "Dad, I refused at that time. But my second brother's wife didn't give up, coveting the two taels of silver given by Landlord Chen as a thank you for the matchmaking, and persuaded me privately several times."

"Today, she even tricked me into picking wild vegetables, and then took advantage of other people's inattention and said that Landlord Chen's son was a good match. If Rong'er is married to him, our family will get rich."

Her chest was heaving, and it was obvious that she was still very angry when she thought about it now.

So everyone's eyes turned to Aunt Fu.

Aunt Fu's face was pale.

She was essentially a person who bullied the weak and coveted small gains, otherwise she would not be tempted by a mere two taels of silver. Seeing so many people looking at him, especially his father-in-law and the clan leader, she immediately panicked.

"I, I, I..."

"Hehe, sister-in-law, I was thinking that Rong girl would get married sooner or later. It's better to marry someone familiar than a stranger, and it's better to marry someone good than a bad one. Marrying into the home of the landlord Chen means you won't have to worry about food and drink."

She said nervously, "That's why I advised you several times, several times."

"I, I, I also have good intentions!"
