Although Cheng Yuanwai said that he was polite, the meaning of the show was obvious.

Lin Qianqian couldn't help but get a little anxious, she looked at Lin Yanchao, and then at her father, worried that Lin Yanchao would be angry, and her eyebrows furrowed at the moment. Who knew that Lin Yanchao looked at it, nodded to Lin Qianqian, and instead signaled her not to worry.

Cheng Yuanwai immediately said: "Shibo, I am going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I can't hide it, my shallow mother two years ago has just passed away." ”

Everyone was slightly surprised. Lin Yanchao glanced at Lin Qianqian, saw that she was stunned, and thought that although she came to Lin's house in infancy, she was also very sad.

Lin Gao said: "If you know about this, you must go to the memorial service." ”

Cheng Yuanwai smiled bitterly: "Don't dare to bother, in the past two years, I haven't slept a day, others persuaded me to set up a few more concubines, but I only have a shallow mother in my heart, I swore that I would never welcome a second woman in this life." ”

Cheng Yuanwai's words made everyone feel a little good about him.

"The dog is going to go to Liangzhejiang with the uncle to do the salt business, and now I am empty under my knees, and no one is around, so I have a reluctant request, and I want to ask the uncle to go home and live for two or three years."

Uncle smiled dryly and said, "Cheng Yuanwai, you're not joking, are you?" ”

Cheng Yuanwai said bitterly: "I also know that this matter is too presumptuous, but the inner family has a last wish before her death, saying that after her death, it will not hinder Qianqian, so let her go home and change her surname to Cheng." ”

Hearing this, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but burst into tears.

Lin Gao didn't move his mouth, and the uncle came out to support the scene and said: "Qianqian is the adoptive daughter-in-law of our Lin family, although she has not passed the door, but my Lin family has raised her for more than ten years. Cheng Yuan can't go back without saying a word. ”

Cheng Gongzi snorted and said, "Originally, I was raised in your family, and my father and I shouldn't have made this request." But not long ago, my father sent someone to inquire about the shallow news and asked her how she was doing, but I heard that the shallow life was a hard time, and it was your aunt who was mean, not to mention the work every day, and if she didn't do well, she would be scolded today and beaten tomorrow. ”

The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Where is this?" But then she hung her head again, and she did have something to be shallow about.

Cheng Gongzi lowered his face and said: "Qianqian is my sister, I don't like it, even if he is a maid in my Cheng Mansion, he is not allowed to work in vain, and he also has a case of silver every month, and his food, clothing and housing are better than in your family." ”

Cheng Yuanwai immediately reprimanded: "How do you talk like this, are there any rules?" Qianqian is now the Lin family's daughter-in-law, and it is also the Lin family's business to beat or scold, can we manage it? ”

When everyone thought of this, how could it not smell like this?

Lin Gao was ashamed at the moment and said: "Cheng Yuanwai, there was indeed something wrong with our family's shallow treatment before, but there was never a beating and scolding, maybe that person listened to it, it shouldn't be true." ”

Cheng Yuanwai nodded and said: "I also understand, but the father and daughter are connected, I am not remarrying, but taking her back to the house to raise her for two or three years, and then sending her to the Lin family to let Yanchao marry her, and never charge a penny of gift money at that time, this is not too much." ”

The eldest lady sneered on the side: "Cheng Yuanwai said it well, I'm afraid that if you go back, you won't be able to come back." ”

Cheng Yuanwai said: "I am also a businessman, businessmen are honest, how can I regret it." ”

Seeing that he was so serious, everyone could not help but be skeptical.

At this time, Cheng Yuanwai nodded, and Cheng Gongzi took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and put it on the table. Cheng Yuanwai said: "This is fifty taels of silver tickets, you accept this money first, I will raise it for your Lin family for two or three years, and then marry into the Lin family when you are marriageable. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Gongzi said proudly: "These fifty taels of silver, I'm afraid that the people here have never seen so much money in their lives." Raising a daughter-in-law for you for two years for nothing, and giving back money, except for our Cheng family, where is there such a good thing. ”

At this time, Lin Yanchao sneered, are we stupid? If you really want to bring shallow back to raise, how can you take out fifty taels of silver? If you agree, you will be deceived.

Lin Yanchao asked quietly: "Cheng Gongzi, dare to ask, are you married?" ”

Cheng Gongzi said: "It doesn't hurt to ask what this is for, it doesn't hurt to tell you, my inner son is the daughter of Huang Xiucai of Jialaofang, and in front of today's students, he is also a person who can speak." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Disrespectful, disrespectful, dare to ask Cheng Gongzi, if Huang Xiucai tells you, there is a reluctant request." He misses his daughter, is it okay for your wife to go back to her parents' house for two or three years? Of course, he still loves your son-in-law very much, but he just misses his daughter, not to mention that he also gave you fifty taels of silver. ”

Cheng Gongzi sneered: "What is fifty taels in my eyes? ”

Lin Yanchao showed a slight mockery, his future brother-in-law is really stupid.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Yes, fifty taels is too little, what about five hundred taels?" If Huang Xiucai pays 500 taels and wants you to withdraw from the marriage, will you agree? ”

Cheng Gongzi also knew that he was speechless and said: "These are two things, what are you doing together?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "It seems that Cheng Gongzi's price is quite high, five hundred taels is still too little, then Huang Xiucai also feels sorry for his daughter, what if he pays five thousand taels with you?" Five thousand taels is not enough, but what about fifty thousand taels? ”

"Nonsense, Huang Xiucai doesn't have more than 50,000 taels!"

Cheng Gongzi saw the people around him snickering and knew that he had fallen into a trap. Cheng Gongzi secretly hated, but also frightened, not to mention 50,000 taels, it was 5,000 taels, and he might not agree to Huang Xiucai's conditions.

Cheng Gongzi glanced at Lin Yanchao, and said in his heart that he had underestimated this young man.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "Cheng Gongzi, I'm just making an analogy, of course I know that the relationship between you and your wife is stronger than gold." How can money be considered, please forgive me for being presumptuous. Everyone nodded when they said this, Lin Yanchao did not ignore the people, but not only maintained his own dignity, but also gave his father-in-law's family a step.

Lin Gao nodded with satisfaction and said, "How can I hear my grandson's answer?" Don't let me say it again. ”

Cheng Yuanwai was embarrassed, he also knew that it was not on his side, if the Lin family refused, he had no choice.

"Dad, big brother." At this time, Lin Qianqian spoke.

Cheng Yuanwai turned his head shallowly, and asked with a loving face: "Shallow, what do you have to say?" ”

Lin Qianqian looked at Lin Yanchao, and Lin Yanchao nodded at her. Lin Qianqian twisted the corner of his clothes with his hand and said: "Dad, big brother, as the old saying goes, it is better to be kind than to be kind." The daughter was raised by the Lin family for thirteen years, and the favor of the Lin family is more important than the Cheng family. My daughter has read the book cursory and knows the truth of Entu. The Lin family has the grace of nurturing their daughter, so although the daughter has not passed the door, she is also a member of the Lin family, so why go back to her parents' house? ”

Seeing Lin Qianqian's resolute appearance, Cheng Yuan's tone softened and said, "You and your mother are both stubborn people!" Have you figured it out? Willing to endure poverty and not regret it? ”

Lin Qianqian's tears dripped down, but he held his head high and said: "In addition, my daughter misses her father and mother, but where her filial piety lies, she will never regret it!" ”

Hearing Lin Qianqian's words, everyone in the Lin family nodded at the moment.

While he was talking, the sound of the car outside sounded, and a person who looked like a housekeeper walked in and said with a big red post: "Dare to ask Ambassador Lin from the river park if he is at home?" ”

Lin Gao got up and said, "So-and-so." ”

The steward immediately said: "Our master, come to pay New Year's greetings to Master Lin." ”

"Which master?" Lin Gaozhu asked.

But listening to Cheng Gongzi on the side, he said: "Isn't this the Xu family's steward?" ”

The steward listened, "Forgive me for being clumsy, who is this master?" ”

"I'm Cheng Gongzi of Silk Village, we still met before Bai Lu." The steward suddenly said: "It turned out to be Cheng Gongzi, that's really good." ”

Cheng Gongzi said to Cheng Yuanwai with a bright face at the moment: "Dad, he is an elder who met in the child's business, and he is a big customer of our silk village. ”

I heard that there were a lot of people coming, and the women in the house were all avoiding, and soon the two sedan chairs arrived at the door, and a man in his forties wearing a Dongpo scarf got off the sedan chair.

Seeing the man wearing a Dongpo scarf, a smile appeared on Cheng Gongzi's face, and he stepped forward in three steps and two steps to flatteringly: "Isn't this Master Xu?" Yesterday I came to the house to pay a visit, you were not there, but it was great to see you today. ”

Cheng Gongzi was very respectful at the moment. The middle-aged man glanced at him, returned the salute and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are a young shopkeeper, fortunately, why are you also a guest in the Lin Mansion?" ”

Lin Mansion? Which Lin Mansion.

Cheng Gongzi glanced back, thinking that this dilapidated house is also worthy of being called the Lin Mansion, so he is not going to call it the Forbidden City.

At this time, an old man wearing a gauze hat walked out of the sedan chair, and the servant handed him a cane, and the man wearing a Dongpo scarf stepped forward to help him: "Dad, be careful." ”

Cheng Gongzi saw that he heard the other party's name, and exclaimed: "This ...... Is this Mr. Forgetfast? ”

Cheng Yuan's face also changed slightly, this Mr. Forget Zhai He also has heard of it, when he was studying, the other party was a very famous Confucian in Fujian, inherited from Ma Zicui, after winning the promotion, he did not become an official, but traveled to Zhejiang, Huguang and Fujian for more than 20 years.

His protégés and disciples are all over Tiannan, and last year, on Mr. Wangzhai's 70th birthday, even the Fujian Political Secretary came to congratulate him personally.

When Cheng Cheng stepped forward to the old man, he saluted his disciple and said, "Cheng Liben, who is late, will visit Mr. Wangzhai." ”
