Clayton Xie's Enchanted Feast Chapter 8

When he woke up the next day, Clayton Xie once again became the prince who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, with a silly smile on his face. This was his problem. Whenever he closed and opened his eyes, no matter how many worries and difficulties he had, they were all left in yesterday. Today there is still today's happiness waiting for him.

Of course, no matter how Clayton Xie feels, the rent will still go up, just like your mother beating you without reason.

Less than a month after settling in, the rent has doubled. It is impossible for the tenants to have no objections, and they are not taken advantage of. Especially when these tenants are all important figures in the government, even if they are here and now, they still have their pride!

Soon, some senior ministers who held themselves as veterans of the four dynasties wrote to Maxwell, asking for justice.

To put it bluntly, this is a lawsuit against parents.

Parents said it was a headache.

After Clayton Xie learned about it, he just clicked his tongue. It seemed that the world had a deep misunderstanding of him: "How can I be the person who is afraid of the defendant's parents? My brother-in-law can't even take care of himself, so he can't take care of me, okay?" "

Dalton Qian: ...that makes sense.

This letter was filed against Clayton Xie, the elder of the four dynasties, that is, Mr. Gao, who rented the house next door to Clayton Xie. He was the father-in-law who was in power at that time.

Being in power means participating in political affairs, and is commonly known as the deputy prime minister among the people.

Although Mr. Gao is the Deputy Prime Minister, he actually does not have much ability. He is not a big official but has many things to do. Just because he has lived longer and all his contemporaries have passed away, he can say whatever he wants. He always likes to put on airs and tamper with history. Today he says that he once discussed the past and present with his deceased critics, and tomorrow he can boast that a giant in the literary world once consulted him for advice. However, what he loves most is the airs of the elders of the four dynasties, almost claiming that he helped Taizu win the world.

Maybe there are some unreasonable people in the court who will be bluffed by his "qualifications", but someone like Clayton Xie, who knows very well, can only express "respect" with disdain.

The elders of the Four Dynasties are a ghost. In the year when Taizu passed away, this guy barely managed to pass the imperial examination. At that time, when the country was just founded, Taizu was looking for talents. He asked for 384 people in Mingjing alone, and he ranked second. Three hundred and eighty-three. Apart from being lucky, I really don't have anything good to say.

Faced with Clayton Xie's indifference, Mr. Gao was really angry, so he not only consulted Clayton Xie, but also wrote a letter specifically, hoping to teach Xie He a lesson as an old friend of Xie He's. This unscrupulous man, when he opens his mouth, he says ---[a child with a yellow mouth].

Clayton Xie didn't even read the following content. He just picked up the pen and imitated his father's calligraphy, and replied to the other party with five flying Chinese characters: "It's too long, don't read it, get out!"

Clayton Xie doesn't have any good qualities. Apart from his face, he probably has good handwriting. It was a boy's skill that he had developed since he was a child, with his mother holding a whip on his H!ps and personally supervising him, rubbing strokes stroke by stroke on his father's calligraphy during his lifetime. Even Emperor Wen sincerely praised me, saying that my calligraphy is not as good as Dou'er.

"Want to teach me a lesson? Has he asked me for my opinion?" Clayton Xie said plausibly, "Tell that old man not to have random relationships. People in my father's circle didn't even bother to play with him, okay?" Hurry up and pack your bags and leave!"

Yes, Clayton Xie is also very angry. He is not going to raise the price anymore, he wants to drive people away!

Xie He is Clayton Xie's reverse scale, and if he touches it, he will die.

Not to mention, when the contract was written, the house owner had already written the words "the rent can increase at any time according to the market price" to prevent others from falling behind. Moreover, with Clayton Xie's unreasonable character...he broke the contract, what can he do? Lose money? He has plenty of money, is three times enough? It doesn’t matter if it’s less than five times. I just want to leave without renewing the lease!

As for how much more time Mr. Gao will spend on the way to court in the future, and how much longer he will have to walk on the way to get off work than others, I'm sorry, that is not within the scope of Prince Xie's need to consider.

Either endure it or get out, it's that simple.

"Ruthless" is a category that can only be exerted by Clayton Xie.

Clayton Xie didn't intend to be a good person, nor was he afraid of offending others. Because after Emperor Wen was rescued, he always wanted to give Clayton Xie more compensation, but Clayton Xie refused. Emperor Wen had no choice. Later, he sent a secret edict to Clayton Xie. Along with the secret edict, there was also a piece of cake sent to Clayton Xie. Hereditary and irreplaceable death-free gold medal.

The elder looked at the letter sent from the eldest princess and bowed in the direction of Yingtian Mansion, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Your Highness still knows your husband well, and if you don't do something about renting a house, then it's not Clayton Xie.

But what Clayton Xie wanted to do was far more than that.

This starts with someone coming from Clayton Xie's father’s hometown.

As mentioned before, Clayton Xie's mother's family came from a water town in Jiangzuo. Coincidentally, his father also came from a water town in Jiangzuo. The place where my mother's family lives is called Xunshanbei, and she is the only outsider with the surname Wen in the village; the place where my father's family lives is called Xunshannan, and everyone in the village has the surname Xie, breaking bones and connecting tendons.

It can also be seen from the straightforward place names that Clayton Xie's mother and father's families are actually very close to each other, only separated by a hilltop, but the local accents are completely different, and no one understands the other.

But when the place names were reported to the outside world, they were all from Jiangzuo.

Clayton Xie often ponders when he has nothing to do, and feels that Jiangzuo is a very evil place. It can not only breed a family of farmers and scholars like his father's family, who are graceful and graceful, but also can create arrogant men like his mother's family who live in poor mountains and rivers and breed unruly people.

It's a pity that the former was a rebellion of scholars and failed in three years, while the latter was to conquer the city and unify the world.

No matter how talented you are, you can't beat a shot from the horse. But even though the subsequent generations of emperors from the Lao Wen family were committed to paying attention to scholars, everyone still cannot forget how they took over the world.

It can be said that the development direction of each family has its own pros and cons.

During the two years that Clayton Xie lived in Jiangzuo City, the most common thing he did was to play with relatives, especially the relatives on his father's side. They would ride into the city in a donkey cart every two days, and they were definitely not alone.

They were not here to fight against the autumn wind. After all, their ancestors also had a high-ranking family that had Wubao. Even if they later declined, the character of the Wei and Jin Dynasties still existed. They would rather starve to death than eat the food that came from outside. It was probably because of such an environment that we were able to cultivate literati like Clayton Xie's father.

It is no exaggeration to say that Xie He is the pride of the entire Xie family. Even though Xie He has been dead for many years and is a dead man who cannot speak, when the Xie family has major issues to decide, he still likes to come to Xie He's memorial tablet and debate in turn.

Not a clan leader, but better than a clan leader.

Here, Clayton Xie felt it was necessary to brag about his father again.

Clayton Xie's father, Xie He, was a very famous writer and calligrapher in Daqi, and a not too successful politician. He has the temperament of an immortal, the demeanor of a gentleman, and his demeanor of being the number one scholar in high school and riding horses in the streets, which are still talked about today. But since ancient times, beauties are like heroes, unwilling to appear in the world.

Xie He passed away suddenly when he was in his prime. The most ironic thing is that such a tragic color has once again promoted Xie He's fame in the north and south of the country. It is said that even among the barbarians, some people cried for Xie He and left early.

As one of Xie He's legacies, Clayton Xie inherited his father's good looks and his father's good calligraphy. After that, he had nothing like his father. Often, friends and colleagues who were old friends of Xie He's during his lifetime would look at Clayton Xie and shake their heads and sigh, what a pity, what a pity.

What a pity, everyone knows it.

Logically speaking, in this context of growing up in contrasts, the young and ignorant Clayton Xie is unlikely to have any good impression of his famous father. But as everyone knows, Clayton Xie is There are pitfalls in his brain, his thoughts are clear, and he quite wants to challenge the bottom line of the world. When others love talking to him, he will not think that he is inferior to his father, but will think that someone is deliberately trying to sow a bad relationship between him and his father. The more they hope that he and his father will have a bad relationship, The more he likes his father.

Regardless of where Clayton Xie's persecution delusion comes from, it is true that he would sacrifice his father with great fanfare during the three major ancestor worship festivals every year. His filial piety is truly touching.

As a result, he unexpectedly gained a reputation as a pure filial piety.

Clayton Xie didn't care much about his reputation, but his mother-in-law, the eldest princess of Zhenguo, did care because she could help her son continue to fight for positions and titles with the emperor.

Back to the topic.

The fact that the Xie clan loves Xie He so much is also related to the Xie clan's charity village that Xie He founded.

Yizhuang, a term that left a serious psychological shadow on Clayton Xie. I don’t know which unlucky person used the word Yizhuang as the place where coffins are parked in the village. All kinds of supernatural ghosts and murder scenes took turns to be staged, which led Clayton Xie to regard it as truth for a time and thought that Yizhuang was a place. Very scary place.

Later, when he moved to Jiangzuo, Clayton Xie realized that Yizhuang, in a broad sense, meant a farm used to provide relief to the tribe.

Parking coffins and so on are only a few words.

The operation model of Yi Zhuang is very simple. Clayton Xie's father spent money to buy thousands of acres of fertile land in the countryside, hired tribesmen to work on the farm, and then used the proceeds from the crops to feed the orphans, widows and children in the tribe and maintain the normal operation of the clan.

Daqi happened to be an era of rebuilding clans, and Yizhuang came into being.

Among the many charity villages, the most famous one is Fan’s charity village founded by Fan Zhongyan. This famous official who advocated the worry of innateness and the joy of acquired happiness donated all his money to the clan during his lifetime and established a righteous village with various rules and regulations to help the clan support the elderly. , sending orphans to school and other services.

Clayton Xie's father, Xie He, felt this and had always wanted to build a charity village in his hometown during his lifetime, so that children in his family who could not afford to study could one day change their destiny through knowledge like him.

Unfortunately, before the Yizhuang was built, Xie He died unexpectedly.

The eldest princess of Zhenguo had true love for Xie He's husband-in-law. In the name of Xie He's last wish, she spent her own money and helped to facilitate this matter, which made many people think of her husband-in-law.

The Xie family in Xunshanbei was also very grateful. They learned all the rules of Fan's Yizhuang and ran it well. They also learned the tradition of settling lawsuits in front of the memorial tablet.

Before Clayton Xie came to Jiangzuo, his father's memorial tablet was placed in the ancestral hall of Laowen's family in Xunshannan on the hilltop next door. No matter what happens, the Xie family will go next door to promote communication and build a beautiful marriage together. When Clayton Xie came to Jiangzuo, he would definitely not be able to say, "Go and bring back the tablet of my brother Emperor Wen." He could only make another one manually. But it was different for his father. He walked away from his father's... memorial tablet, and no one dared to stop him. This is the charm of power.

Therefore, in recent years, the Xie family has changed the habit of going into the city and visiting Xie Mansion for one-day trips.

It was always trivial matters between neighbors, which made Xie Jieren's head hurt. This time was no exception. At that time, Clayton Xie had not yet sent the ghost of his cousin away. At least in his mind, his cousin was still following him. He turned around and said to the air in a serious manner: "Isn't it boring?"

My cousin also seemed to be standing tall, standing here with a smile, helpless and doting: [Let’s be a little patient, okay? I'll be with you. Even if you really think so in your heart, you can't say it out loud because it will be bad for your reputation. 】

Clayton Xie's cousin is a holy father. He is good to everyone, and he is even better to Clayton Xie. That's why Clayton Xie decided to kill someone who is not a good person. Good people are destined not to live long.

His cousin didn't let him say it, so he insisted on saying: "It's always been the same way. Do you dare to come up with something new?"

The two tribesmen waved their hands repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare, I don't dare to have any new ideas."

Clayton Xie: ... Everyone in the world thinks that he is unreliable because he followed his mother's family, but now it seems that he should follow his father.
