The old master of Su is meticulous, of course, it is impossible to judge by Su Miaoqing's words that identify the truth and falsehood of the Wang family.He asked the old housekeeper to summon Wang's two dowry maids, and only after asking separately did he confirm that Wang and Cheng Lan had a private meeting last night, although they didn't know what kind of deal they reached, but it was a fact that Cheng Lan left at dawn.The old master of Su came to the mourning hall of his grandson Su Muchun, retired the servants and maids who guarded the spirit, sat alone in front of the spirit and burned the paper money, muttered to himself for a while, and cried in grief for a while."
Take care, old lady, the Su family is still counting on you to hold on."
The old housekeeper brought a cup of warm water to the old master of Su to moisten his throat, put on a silver rat coat for him, and said: "The old slave believes that the young lady has no private meeting with others, she is the daughter of the Jiangnan Wang family, although she is a concubine, she is very arrogant.The old lady will find someone to investigate, maybe the young lady is wronged. ”"Are you stupid?"
The old master of Su squinted at the old housekeeper and muttered: "You've been with me for almost thirty years, and you still don't know my mind?"
”The old housekeeper was silent for a moment, and suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that the old lady wants to ......
Hehe, the old slave is really stupid, he didn't see the old lady's thoughts. ”The old master of Su sighed abruptly, looked at his grandson's spiritual position, and said, "Chun'er, grandfather knows that you died unjustly.But my grandfather is the head of the Su family, so I can only wronged you. ”"Don't blame yourself, the old lady, the son is a filial child, and the spring will definitely understand the old lady's hardships."
The old housekeeper comforted him, and the old master of Fusu went back to rest.The next day, it was Su Muchun's first seventh.After the old master of the Su family led the whole Su clan to worship in front of the spirit, he announced that he would seek justice for his grandson from the small owner of the valley house.When will the small owner of the valley house hand over the murderer, and when will his grandson be buried in the ground.The resentment of the Su clan was stimulated, and the soldiers went to the Gu Mansion, Louwailou, and Tang Mansion to make trouble.Under the planning of the old master of the Su family, several cousins of the Su family in power, and the masters of the side branches of the Su family also took action, gathering the power and financial resources of the entire Su family to seize the Gu Mansion, Louwailou and the business of the world's largest merchant in Xianhua City.The old master of Su took the lead in cutting off the source of the business network of the Gu Mansion, and followed Su Miaoqing's strategy to open a restaurant opposite the outer building: Su Ji Restaurant.Whatever is sold outside the building, his food shop will sell.The guests who went to eat outside the building did not enter, and they were dragged away by the shopkeeper of Su Ji Restaurant.Lan Yue has become the female shopkeeper of the outer building, and after the careful teaching of Haitang, Si Mingtang, and Li Junshen, she has changed from an illiterate silly girl to a businesswoman who stands alone.The women in the city of idle flowers befriended her, and the girls of the merchant family often corresponded with her.Since the old master of the Su family announced that he would not stand with the small owner of the Gu Mansion, the Su family's provocation was like a tide rushing in, although Lan Yue was prepared according to Haitang's wishes, she did not expect the Su family's evil deeds to be so violent.For ten days in a row, almost the entire ruffians, beggars, and thieves of the idle flower city were blocked at the door of the building, and the guests were noisy and sneaky when they came.The shopkeepers in the outer building went out with sticks, and the ruffians and beggars lay on the ground howling and rolling, shouting: "Beat people to death in the outer building!"
The little owner of the valley house is murdering!
”The people in the city will deliberately detour to the outside of the building every day to see the excitement when they enter the city, and some people even take lunch to watch the excitement around the building.Many vegetable vendors set up their stalls around the building, doing business while watching the excitement without delay.The battle between Louwailou and Su Ji Restaurant turned from dark to light, and the onlookers also developed from the city to the outside of the city, and then to the people of the neighboring villages.The news spread farther and farther, and even the people of Xiacai Town, Liangping City, and Lianghe City knew that the fight between the small owner of the Gu Mansion and the Su family was "endlessly fun".Louwailou and Gu Mansion were harassed by ruffians, beggars and thieves, and Tang Mansion was not spared.No matter day or night, there are always people outside the Tang Mansion who climb the wall to snoop, and there are even those who are arrested who are known as the chivalrous warriors of the rivers and lakes to seek justice.Li Haitang sat in the yard eating food, watching puppet shows, and listening to Jiangnan songs, but he ignored the Su family's uproar.Si Mingtang and Li Junshen accompany her every day, she doesn't speak, and they don't ask.Mo Shenghuan stayed in the Grange outside Xianhua City, and together with the steward of the Grange, he entertained the pawns who had been suppressed and driven away by the Su family, and the news collected was sneaked into the city by the secret guards at night and sent to the Gu Mansion, and then brought the news of the Gu Mansion back to the Grange, which was distributed by the Grange.The only person who has nothing to do every day is Cheng Lan, he watched the Su family's offensive fiercely, and the Louwailou and Gu Mansion barely defended, so anxious that they went in and out all day.Si Mingtang saw that Begonia had excellent patience and was not anxious, so he asked curiously: "Isn't Sister Begonia afraid?"
In case the Su family dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, what should you do?
”"Isn't the Su family jumping off the wall in a hurry now?"
Li Haitang stuffed a sweet and juicy little plum into his mouth and muttered, "It's almost over, wait a few more days." ”"Wait?
Wait any longer, Xianhua City is the territory of the Su family, you have to pack up obediently and get out. ”Cheng Lan came back from outside and said angrily, sat beside Si Mingtang, grabbed a small plum skin and threw it into his mouth without peeling it.Li Junshen poured him a cup of tea and said, "Going out for a stroll again?"
What do you see?
”"Brother Hua is really a bull temper, I told you a long time ago to ignore the group of ruffians gathered by the Su family, you want to fight with them."
Li Haitang wiped his little hands with a handkerchief and said, "I won't eat at home tonight, let's go to Su Ji Restaurant." ”"Huh?
Go to the Su family's shop for dinner?
I'm not going!
”Cheng Lan strongly refused, he would rather eat food from a street stall than step into the threshold of Su Kee's food shop.Li Haitang squinted at him, and his little white hand twisted his ear, "Brother Hua, are you really not going to accompany me?"
Well?
”was so hurt that his ears were pulled and his teeth grinned, Cheng Lan hunched down and followed Li Haitang to the gate together, begging for mercy: "Ah!
Sister Hua tugged lightly!
It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!
”Li Haitang grinned, turned around and called Si Mingtang and Li Junshen, and sent the little maid to find Liu Erniang and Qingluo, and accompanied her to Su Ji Restaurant for dinner.The dusk of Xianhua City is very beautiful, located in the south of the Yangtze River, even in late autumn, you can still see the piles of flowers on the street, competing for color.Coupled with the colorful silks and lanterns of the shops on the street, the whole street scene is particularly pleasing to the eye.The two carriages moved slowly, leisurely as if they were patrolling the streets.The previous one, Li Haitang, Liu Erniang, and Qingluo took it, and the latter one Si Mingtang and Li Junshen rode it, and Cheng Lan liked to ride a horse and accompanied him.The group walked and stopped, and walked for half an hour before arriving at the door of Su Kee's restaurant.Across the street, at the gate of the building, ruffians, beggars, and thieves were still slumped under the stone steps in front of the door, as drowsy as if they had eaten and drunk.The carriage stopped, and a few ruffians opened their misty eyes, and when they saw the people who got off the car walking directly into Su Ji's restaurant, they closed their eyes and continued to nap with peace of mind.The old shopkeeper of Su Ji Restaurant saw several young girls and sons coming in for dinner, and happily greeted them in person, and said intimately: "Girls and sons, please go upstairs, the private room on the second floor is clean and spacious." ”Li Haitang looked around at a few tables in the lobby, a table near the window was good, and said, "It's too tiring to go up the stairs, just over there." ”Following the window table she pointed, the old shopkeeper was dumbfounded.Looking at the girls and sons, they don't look like poor masters, why are they reluctant to spend the money in a private room?
