Yuan Xu, Mo Rongjiu and the others who were stopped outside the door of the main courtyard did not let them in until the begonias had filled their stomachs.Mo Rongjiu was so angry that he yelled at Zhuge Yi, but he was silent.Yuan Xu apologized to Zhuge Yi repeatedly on her behalf, and even Mo Shenghuan complained that Mo Rongjiu was too rude, and Cheng Lan even helped to count Mo Rongjiu.Although Si Mingtang and Li Junshen did not speak, they stood behind Zhuge Yi and silently stated their position.Mo Rongjiu was ashamed and annoyed, so he had to pull Haitang to comment, and said indignantly: "You little conscienceless."
Hearing Lan Yue say that you let Su Miaoqing and Shen Jin go, I was so worried that I couldn't sit still, and I was hungry with a cold wind blowing outside the courtyard gate, who knew that you and he would ......
Hum!
It's so good to eat and drink. ”"Aunt Jiu, come and have a cup of hot tea to get rid of the cold."
Li Haitang sat down at the table with Mo Rongjiu in his arms, and instructed Qingluo and Lan Yue: "Go and bring some food, and stew some ginger soup to dispel the cold." ”"I can't eat it!"
Mo Rongjiu glared at Haitang angrily and asked, "Why did you let Su Miaoqing and Shen Jin go?"
It can be seen that it is to let the tiger return to the mountain, and the future will be endless.They are humiliated here today, and tomorrow they will unite against you. ”"Aunt Jiu doesn't believe me, why don't you believe Master, Uncle Xiao and yourself."
Li Haitang was calm and calm, and did not feel that Shen Jin and Su Miaoqing were threats."
Why don't you listen, you boy?
Ouch, I'm so desperate. ”Mo Rongjiu hated her teeth so much, she was so anxious that she didn't know what to eat, this stupid child didn't pay attention to it.Yuan Xu looked at Haitang with a calm appearance of "nothing to do with himself", and saw that Zhuge Yi's mind was calm, and he couldn't guess the inside story anymore, he was really stupid."
Jiu'er, let the children play if they love to play.It's been played, and it's us. ”"Spoil them.Sooner or later, there will be a mess, and even we can't clean it up. ”Mo Rongjiu's anger was all sprinkled on Yuan Xu, and he was willing to let her bully."
Begonia, I'm back."
Yuan Qiao, who had been trapped in the back kitchen, finally listened to the old woman's nagging and grasped the complex relationship between the four major merchant families in Jiangnan clearly."
Pretty girl works hard, come and drink tea to moisten your throat."
Li Haitang warmly beckoned Yuan Qiao to sit beside him and poured tea and water in person.Yuan Qiao drank a cup of tea in one gulp and said, "The Shen family and the Zheng family have ten generations of relatives, and they have close business contacts.The power and wealth of the Tian family and the Wang family are not as good as those of the Shen Zheng second family, the in-laws are complex, and most of the people who marry with foreign clans are side branches and relatives of the same clan. ”"What about the Su family?"
Li Haitang is more concerned about the status of the Su family in Jiangnan, except for the marriage between the second room of the Wang family and him, I don't know if the other three clans have a marriage relationship.Yuan Qiao smiled disdainfully and said, "Heh!
Don't mention it.This Su family is a small merchant family at all, and no one can afford to look down on the Su family. ”"Impossible.If the Su family is weak, how can the Wu family in Lianghe City be willing to marry their daughter into the Su family?
”Cheng Lan was surprised, and looked at Zhuge Yi's eyes meaningfully.Li Haitang slapped the table and said, "Brother Hua, what kind of eyes are you?"
How old is Master this year, and how many years ago did the Wu family marry their daughter?
”"I didn't say he ordered it."
Cheng Lan defended himself, his eyes still staring at Zhuge Yi defiantly.Yuan Xu smiled and said: "No wonder he thinks too much, who made the identity of Zhuge Gongzi too dazzling." ”Zhuge Yi put down the teacup and said, "The Wu clan of Lianghecheng used to be a big merchant family, and they also had a lot of wealth and dominated one side.Because the old lord of the previous generation offended a big official in the capital, he almost beheaded and punished the nine clans.Later, he mediated in many ways and scattered his wealth to save the lives of the entire Wu family.When the old head of the Wu family took over, he had great ambitions, but he was empty-handed, had no wealth and no power.The old family owner of Wu is willing to marry his daughter to the Su family, and the Su family hires him with 10,000 taels of silver. ”"No wonder the old master of the Su family is showing off his martial arts in the Wu family, and the Wu family doesn't even dare to let out a fart."
Cheng Lan was disdainful, and his rude words attracted cold warnings from Li Junshen and Si Mingtang.He smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, gaffe!"
Lapsus linguae!
”"Next time, if you dare to speak openly, look at my good mouth!"
Mo Rongjiu pretended to be ruthless and waved twice, and Cheng Lan immediately begged for mercy with a hippie smile."
Master, Little Fifth Uncle, Aunt Jiu, Big Brother Mingtang, if you have something to do, go and get busy.Let's talk a few things in a whisper. ”"Ahem!
Good. ”Zhuge Yi put down the teacup and said, "Don't be greedy, don't stay up late." ”"Okay."
Li Haitang got up to see him off, and was also sent out of the room along with Yuan Xu, Mo Rongjiu, and Si Mingtang.The master promised her to deal with the Su family, so she couldn't support it alone, so she found a few more partners to help.Enough fun, enough fuss, and let Abel clean up the rest of the mess.Returning to the room, Li Haitang beckoned Yuan Qiao, Li Junshen, Mo Shenghuan, Cheng Lan, Qingluo and Lan Yue to gather together to plan together.Li Junshen did not agree with Haitang's involvement in the risk, and was the first to reject Haitang's decision to deal with the Su family personally.Mo Shenghuan held the opposite opinion and said: "Brother Shen, now Uncle Zi no longer relies on the Su family, and Sister Haitang is the small owner of the Gu Mansion, and the business connections of the Gu Mansion are enough to fight against the Su family.I don't think it's difficult, and it's not risky. ”Li Junshen shook his head and said, "How do you know that behind the Su family, in addition to the first big merchant in the world, there will be no second big merchant and no third big merchant?"
The Su family dared to betray the Lord and swallow the Yu family's wealth, proving that there was already a master behind the Su family. ”"Jiangnan Zheng Clan."
Cheng Lan suddenly burst out of a sentence, saw that several people were puzzled, and said: "I am familiar with the concubine of the second master Wang, and I am Su Muchun's brother-in-law."
He once told me that the second housewife of the Su family was from the Zheng family in Jiangnan.Later, I don't know what kind of contradiction happened, the Zheng family drove the Su family out of Jiangnan, and ordered the Zheng family to cut off all contacts with the Su family. ”"I see."
A few people suddenly realized.Li Haitang pondered for a moment and said: "When the Yu family suffered, the old master of the Yu family left a foundation for the comeback for future generations, and trusted the steward of Grange Su.The Su steward occupied the property of the main family and married the daughter of the Zheng family in Jiangnan, so it was difficult for the descendants of the Yu family to seek justice. ”"What about the descendants of the Yu family, are you willing?"
Yuan Qiao was curious, she often listened to her grandfather and grandmother gossip about the Yu family, which was once the largest merchant family in Ciyu Town.It was a formidable big merchant clan, but it was a pity that a hundred years ago, the first generation of patriarchs of the eight major clans worked together to calculate, and the clan was destroyed, and the trees were scattered.Mo Shenghuan said abruptly: "What can you do if you are unwilling?
Don't forget that our eight clans are the real enemies of the Yu family's descendants.If they are not reconciled, will we still have our glory and wealth, and our fine clothes and food?
Ci Yuzhen also changed back to the surname Yu early, and the eight clans had no foothold. ”Cheng Lan laughed and said, "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and whoever made the sin should be repaid."
Look, the descendants of the Yu family will come back to take revenge, that day is not far off. ”Li Haitang felt a faint pain in her heart, she hated the viciousness and ruthlessness of the Eight Great Clans, and she couldn't bear to hurt these brothers who treated her very well.If one day, Abel avenges his people, what about the people of the eight clans?
Where will they go from here?"
Begonia, what are you thinking?
Why are you crying?
”Yuan Qiao wiped her tears for Haitang with her sleeve and complained to Cheng Lan: "You say a few words, don't forget that you are also a member of the Eight Great Clans." ”Cheng Lan laughed at himself, his heart was full of melancholy.() Glory to the end
