Chapter 54 You are the "Only One" in the Clan
The next day.
Surrounded by the soft warmth of the "new" cotton quilt, Da Niu got up and helped tidy up the business tools at home.
The family started their business at the city gate in an orderly manner.
Dou Weiyi got her wish, carrying her uncle and stuffing him into the carriage on her way home.
"Uncle, you can go home and retire in peace. Don't worry about me here!"
Dou Weiyi smiled, revealing her bright white teeth, and stood beside the carriage, waving to her great-uncle.
The uncle shakily reached out, his face full of anger, and lifted the carriage curtain, pointing at Dou Weiyi with his cane, "You brat, I'm not old enough to go back to my hometown to enjoy my old age. I can still work. I want to get off."
Dou Weiyi quickly stepped forward, grabbed her uncle's hand, and pulled the curtain closed again, her face beaming: "Uncle, don't bother, the carriage is about to leave. Just go back and relax, bask in the sun, and chat with your old neighbors."
After Dou Weiyi finished speaking, he gestured to the coachman with his eyes.
Hurry up and crack the whip to send this legendary "family heirloom" away.
The coachman immediately understood, and with a crack of his whip, the carriage slowly began to move.
The uncle was so anxious in the car that he kept stamping his feet: "Dou Weiyi, you little brat, how dare you send me back? Next time you come back to pay respects to our ancestors, I will definitely make you wear three-inch shoes."
Dou Wei didn't care at all; he would willingly wear it even if it was only one inch, let alone three inches!
He ran a few steps behind the carriage with a relaxed expression, his joy was all too obvious: "Uncle, have a safe journey, and remember to write to me when you get home."
As the carriage drove further and further away, Uncle was still so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring.
He leaned out of the carriage window, pointing his cane at Dou Weiyi, "You little brat, damn it, if I can't deal with you, I can at least deal with your father! When I get back, I'll teach your grandfather a lesson and get your father punished. The son's fault is the father's fault. You better never come back in this lifetime, otherwise you'll be the enemy of the 'entire clan,' and I'll have you beaten to death..."
Dou Weiyi listened to his uncle's cursing gradually fade away, his face full of astonishment, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.
No, Uncle, it's one thing for you to be a chatterbox, but you actually went and tried to discipline my grandfather?! How could you be such a troublemaker in my house?
"Pfft~"
A suppressed laugh came from the side; someone couldn't hold it in any longer and it burst out from between their teeth.
Dou Weiyi stared menacingly at Ruan Dan, whose back was hunched and face was flushed from trying to suppress a laugh. "Try laughing again!?"
"Hahahahaha"
His last words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back for Ruan Dan.
Ruan Dan couldn't help herself and laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "My lord, I'm so sorry, I just couldn't help it!"
After all, every time Uncle Gong filed a complaint, Dou Weiyi would be kneeling in the ancestral hall when he returned home for the New Year. When his father was held accountable for his mistakes, his father also knelt down, and his father's father, who was Dou Weiyi's grandfather, also knelt down.
His grandfather's brothers, his brothers' sons, his sons' sons, all knelt heavily in the ancestral hall.
In the end, even the clan chief knelt down. With the clan chief kneeling, who else dared to stand?
Anyone with the surname "Dou" was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall; none of them could escape.
Who could blame him when his great-uncle was both his tutor and his mentor?
Dou Wei's ability to abandon martial arts for literature and pass the imperial examination was largely due to his great-uncle's contribution!
It took four generations of the entire clan to produce Dou Weiyi, the only scholar among them.
Although my uncle was only a scholar, he made great contributions and was the most meritorious person in the Dou family!
Dou Weiyi was also afraid that he was getting old, and that he might melt in her mouth or break in her hands.
Only then did they hurriedly send him back to his hometown to retire, ending his days of living in constant fear.
Dou Weiyi glared at Ruan Dan. "Call Qin Shen Shen over here. We're going to Ju'an District. By the way, what about the rest of the people?"
Dou Weiyi thought about how the remaining people were also having headaches, and "buy one get four free" was Qin Shen Shen's condition.
His wife and several concubines, including Wugu Fengdeng, were in his residence, and those women didn't dare to cause any trouble.
But once outside the mansion, it was even more troublesome than the fat constable's. There's a curse word I don't know whether I should say it or not.
Ruan Dan stopped laughing when he thought of those people, but when he thought of how they came back with bruises and swelling on their faces yesterday, he couldn't help but burst into laughter again.
I don't know where I went and messed things up, but I got beaten up.
"Hahaha...Sir, those people are probably, hahaha...buying breakfast at the city gate!"
Ruan Dan rubbed her face, which was stiff from smiling, and pointed in the direction of the city gate.
Dou Weiyi immediately realized what was happening.
Oh right, I heard there's a food stall that opened at the city gate, and the food they sell is absolutely delicious.
In the few days since he came back, he's either been busy dealing with those people or looking for "Yuan Yang," and hasn't had a chance to go yet.
Thinking about his friends in Ju'an District, who are all getting older and single, he was extremely anxious.
But there's no rush. Let's go to the city gate today.
So Dou Weiyi decided to go to the city gate. "Ruan Dan, go and bring the carriage over. Let's go to the city gate."
Ruan Dan looked at Dou Weiyi, her lips twitching. "Sir, didn't the only carriage in the house just send Uncle away?"
Dou Wei slapped her forehead. "Right, right, let's walk there and take a look!"
Qian Yan'er arrived at the city gate early this morning, waiting for Gao Mengli's family to come and do business.
They thought they were early enough and would definitely be number one.
Who knew that their "early" was, in comparison, a considerable amount of "late" for the diners gathered at the city gate?
Then, not long after, the diners were seen running in one direction.
Thinking something had happened, they ran over and saw an oxcart.
Everyone rushed off the oxcart and eagerly unloaded their goods, setting up their stall for the owner.
Then they discovered something and were filled with regret.
That is, the person who helps can buy an extra elm seed bun and an extra egg pancake compared to the person who doesn't help.
The men beat their chests and stamped their feet in frustration, but seeing that the bearded man was in first place, they dared not cause any trouble.
They had no choice but to stand obediently in the queue and slowly wait their turn.
Dou Weiyi and Ruan Dan walked out of the city gate.
The aroma of locust flower egg pancakes and the fresh scent of elm seed cakes instantly transformed into a Western Region beauty, performing a high-energy dance in front of them and captivating them for half a cup of tea!
The fragrance filled the air above the stall, and then transformed into a fox spirit, beckoning them with a seductive finger, drawing them in like a magnet!
It smells amazing, so delicious!
Their legs moved forward unconsciously, and they stood blankly at the back of the line like zombies.
Dou Weiyi looked at the endless queue and suddenly realized, "Damn it, I'm a county magistrate, why am I standing in a queue?!"
"Now is the perfect time to use the magistrate's power! Ruan Dan, let's go, let's go to the front!"
