The Birds Keep Ringing Chapter 25
byChapter 25 The Weng-Sister-in-law Alliance Listen to your uncle.
Mr. Yun is handsome. If it weren’t for his shrewd eyes, anyone would think he was a gentleman from some academy rather than a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan.
Mrs. Yun is completely different.Although there is a bit of beauty unique to Jiangnan women between her eyebrows and eyes, it is only static when it is static. Once it moves, it becomes turbulent, like now.
It is not difficult to see that Yun Zhen inherited his father’s deceptive appearance, and his personality completely followed his mother’s.
The couple had a very good relationship. Mrs. Yun once suggested having another daughter, but Master Yun said that was enough. One daughter would be enough to give them a headache. Another daughter would cause him to lose his life.
Facts have proved that Mr. Yun has excellent risk assessment capabilities.Yunzhen has been an ancestor since he was a child. If it weren’t for his cute appearance, he would have been hung up and beaten long ago.
Mrs. Yun reluctantly let go of Yun Zhen and groped around to make sure that all parts of his body were there, that no arms or legs were missing, and that nothing had grown that shouldn’t have grown.
Yunzhen was fifteen years old when she left home, which was the time when she was growing taller. Now she is half a head taller than before, with clear outlines and naturally looking thinner.
But in the eyes of the mother, as long as the child’s face is not round, it means that the child is thin and out of shape, and that means he is suffering.
Mrs. Yun looked up and down, tears began to well up in her eyes again.Their baby is still so beautiful, even prettier than before. There is a hint of heroism between her eyebrows and eyes, and she is no longer the troublemaker who only knows how to act coquettishly.
There was something more or less in her eyes, she couldn’t tell, she just felt distressed.
“This chin is so sharp that it could stab someone to death!” Mrs. Yun’s heart twitched, “Is your master not giving you food?”
The master coughed nearby, reminding them that there were others here.
Only then did Mrs. Yun notice that there were four people standing behind her.
Yunzhen smiled heartlessly at his mother and wiped the tears from her face: “Mom, I’m fine, I’m fine. Master is very good to me. Dun Dun… uh, he painted cakes for me.”
Master Yun had already gone over to greet the master and the others. He took the master’s hand and thanked him for taking care of Yun Zhen in the past few years. He was so grateful that he wanted to kowtow to the master.
Yun Zhen didn’t know what to thank him for, the old man didn’t even give him meat.And if his parents knew that the master almost sold him to the Lu family for alchemy, they would probably have to drive him out with a broom.
Wen Wan called out sweetly: “Hello, uncle.”
Xiao Fenzhi was also rarely serious. He put away his romantic demeanor and looked like a serious person, looking like a dog.
Mr. Yun has met Yunzhen’s senior brother and sister. They came to Qingzhou with their master.
Mr. Yun greeted them one by one, smiling broadly.
Finally, his eyes turned to the person next to the master.
The man was dressed in black, with a sword hanging from his waist. He was quite good-looking, with deep eyebrows and a high nose, but he seemed inaccessible.Even though he was holding a gift in his hand now, it didn’t look like he was here to give a gift, but more like he was here to send someone off.
He had never seen this person before, he must be the second senior brother Yunzhen.
His master once boasted in a letter that Yunzhen had a second senior brother who was highly skilled in martial arts. With him protecting Yunzhen, nothing would happen to him.
“Is this Zhen’er’s second senior brother?”
Mr. Yun is a good person. He took the initiative to say hello and was very polite: “Young man is so handsome. He has this momentum, tsk tsk. A hero comes from a young boy.”
Jiang Zhi nodded slightly: “Uncle.”
Yunzhen got out of his mother’s arms and took a deep breath.
He glanced at Jiang Zhi, who was also looking at him.Although there was no emotion in those eyes, Yun Zhen could feel a stabilizing force.
Along the way, he thought a lot about how to tell his parents and how to explain their relationship.
No matter, if you extend your head, it’s a knife. If you shrink your head, it’s a knife. It will lead to early death and early rebirth.
He ran to Jiang Zhi, took Jiang Zhi’s hand and intertwined their fingers in front of everyone.
“Father, mother, let me introduce you.”
Yun Zhen smiled brightly, with three parts of shyness and three parts of determination in his smile, and the remaining ninety-four points were all about life and death.
He announced loudly: “This is my second senior brother, and we have made a private decision for life.”
Quiet.
Deathly silence.
The birds stopped chirping, the wind stopped blowing, and even the squirrel that was scared off its pine cones just now stuck its head out to see the excitement.
Master looked up at the sky, Wen Wan looked down at the ground, Xiao Fenzhi shook his fan, with an expression on his face that the show was about to begin.
Jiang Zhi firmly held Yun Zhen’s hand back, and calmly called out to the two petrified elders: “Uncle, aunt.”
Only Yun Zhen knew that the hand that held the sword very steadily and would not shake even when killing someone, was now covered in sweat.
The teapot in Master Yun’s hand really fell to the ground this time.
With a “pop” sound, it fell to pieces.
It was an orphan, worth one hundred taels of silver.
But Mr. Yun didn’t even look at it.
He stared at the two hands that were tightly clasped together, and then looked at Yunzhen, who was smiling heartlessly, and the tall and cold man next to him.
There was no angry look on Mr. Yun’s face, and he certainly didn’t faint.
As a successful businessman, his first reaction is to settle accounts. He must first stabilize the situation, find out the details of the other party, and evaluate the risks and benefits of this “deal” before making any plans.
Master Yun pulled Yun Zhen back and looked at Jiang Zhi with a completely different look than before. Instead of the politeness just now, he only looked at Jiang Zhi.
“What’s your name?”
“Jiang Zhi.”
Mr. Yun frowned and searched quickly in his mind. Is there a wealthy family named Jiang in Jiangnan?It seems not.
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-two.”
He is four years older than Yunzhen, which is good. He is not an old cow eating young grass.
“Who else is at home?”
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment: “No more.”
Master Yun nodded, seemingly satisfied with the orphan setting.There is no father, no mother, and no seven aunts or aunts to borrow money, which saves trouble.
“What to do?”
“…” Jiang Zhi really didn’t know how to answer this question.
“He is a hero!” Yunzhen quickly interrupted, “Dad, the second senior brother is the best in the world in martial arts. Even the leader of the martial arts league…”
“Shut up!” Mr. Yun glared at him, “I didn’t ask you, hero? Can a hero be eaten as a meal? It sounds so nice, isn’t he just a vagrant?”
Yunzhen: “…”
He turned to Jiang Zhi and continued to ask questions, speaking very fast and pressing every step of the way.
“Do you have a house?”
“No.”
“Do you have land?”
“No.”
“Do you have a shop?”
“No.”
Master Yun’s eyebrows are getting higher and higher, Sanwu?Isn’t this just someone who wants to eat soft rice?
“Do you have money?”
“There are some.”
“How much?”
Jiang Zhi reported a figure, which was the inheritance left by his mother, plus the interest over the years.
Mr. Yun’s eyelids twitched, obviously this number exceeded his expectations.Is it so profitable to be a hero these days?
“You like my son?”
“Yeah.”
“How much do you like it?”
Jiang Zhi didn’t say anything nice. He just looked seriously into Mr. Yun’s eyes and said, “I like it very much.”
Master Yun wanted to see something from this expressionless face, such as hypocrisy and greed.But nothing could be seen. This face was like a freshly cleaned mirror, reflecting whatever was reflected.
He almost had a general understanding of Yunzhen, the second senior brother. He talked little, was rich, had high martial arts, was handsome, and was an orphan.
This is the perfect son-in-law. The only flaw is that he is not his daughter-in-law.
He suddenly asked an extremely tricky question: “If you were asked to choose between him and your sword, what would you choose?”
For a swordsman, the sword is life, even more important than life.Where the sword is, the man is alive; when the sword dies, the man dies.
Jiang Zhi said without hesitation: “Him.”
Yun Zhen listened happily.He knew that the second senior brother was the best, the second senior brother loved him the most, and the second senior brother would always choose him!
Master Yun did not show a satisfied expression, and asked again: “If one day, you two quarrel, what will you do?”
“It won’t make any noise.” Jiang Zhi said, “Everything he says is right.”
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and Yun Zhen is right about everything.
“What if he made a mistake?” Master Yun asked, his eyes very sharp, “What if he did something he shouldn’t have done?”
“That’s right too.”
“What if he wants to kill someone and set him on fire?”
“He doesn’t need to do anything.” Jiang Zhi said seriously.
Even Xiao Fenzhi couldn’t listen anymore and sighed: “Tsk, tsk, you are a fool, you are such a fool.”
Yun Zhen was extremely happy and felt that the most correct decision in her life was to entangle Jiang Zhi.Although this man has facial paralysis and is a blockhead who can do nothing but practice swordsmanship, he is a blockhead who only listens to his own words!
Master Yun’s face turned dark.
“How can that work!” Mr. Yun suddenly shouted, “This is absolutely not okay!”
Yunzhen interjected again: “Dad, this is not okay, this is not satisfactory, what else do you want from him, do you want him to dig out his heart and show you whether it is red?”
Mr. Yun said: “Don’t you know what kind of virtue you are? If you don’t wear roof tiles for three days, and if you don’t scold your skin for five days, if no one takes care of you, why don’t you poke a hole in the sky?”
He knew the destructive power of his son.
If Yun is really gunpowder, then Jiang Zhi’s bottomless indulgence is a fire bomb. Together, these two people will blow up the whole world sooner or later.
He looked at Jiang Zhi seriously: “Xiao Jiang, you have such an evil idea. This kid is spoiled. If you continue to indulge him like this, our family will be destroyed sooner or later.”
Yunzhen: “???”
Wait, the script is wrong!Shouldn’t it be that his father flew into a rage and wanted to break his legs, then his mother burst into tears, and finally he eloped with his second senior brother?Why did the painting style suddenly change?
Jiang Zhi: “…”
He thought for a moment, and Yunzhen’s father’s words seemed to make some sense.After all, Yunzhen is really capable of causing trouble.
“Listen to uncle.”
Yunzhen looked at the two men who had just reached some terrible consensus in horror.Why did they suddenly become a united front?What kind of unholy alliance is this?
“No, wait, what do you mean? Second senior brother, you rebelled too quickly!” Yunzhen protested, “You just said that everything I said was right!”
Jiang Zhi said seriously: “At home, everything you say is right.”
“What about outside?”
“Listen to me.”
Master Yun nodded with satisfaction and patted Jiang Zhi on the shoulder: “Xiao Jiang, you have a bright future.”
Just when Yunzhen was desperate, the savior appeared.
Mrs. Yun finally recovered from the shock just now.
Although she didn’t listen carefully to most of the previous dialogue, about money or swords, but she heard the last sentence clearly: Her husband-in-law wanted to join forces with outsiders to bully her son!
“Yun! Shut up!”
Mrs. Yun hugged Yun Zhen and scolded Master Yun: “What’s wrong with me? Do you have any opinion? I don’t want anyone to spoil my son. Our sweet boy is obviously very obedient. He hasn’t killed anyone or set fire to him since he was so old. At most, he shaved off the hair of Wang Yuan’s wife’s dog next door. I can spoil him as much as I want. No one dares to control him.”
Master Yun was so scolded that he wanted to refute, but looking at Mrs. Yun’s frown, his perennial survival instinct made him choose to shut up.
Sometimes, when a man gives in, it is not weakness, but wisdom.Especially in front of Madam.
Yunzhen hid behind his mother and made a face at Jiang Zhi.
“And you!”
Mrs. Yun suddenly turned to Jiang Zhi, startling Yun Zhen.
“If you dare to bully my son, it doesn’t matter whether you are a hero or not, or how good your martial arts skills are, I will still dare to beat you!”
“Yes, Auntie.”
Mrs. Yun snorted coldly: “Don’t call me aunt, I don’t agree. It depends on your performance. If you don’t perform well, get out of here with your sword.”
The master was stroking his beard beside him and said to Xiao Fenzhi thoughtfully: “You see, the so-called martial arts masters do not have to listen to their mother-in-law in the end.”
Xiao Fenzhi agreed and echoed a few words.
Wen Wan rolled her eyes: “What are you two bachelors discussing about wives here?”
