At the gate of Shen's house, Yan Da stood there and greeted the steward Lu Quan's carriage. While helping Lu Quan get out of the car, he whispered that the groups of people who came to see him in the morning were still waiting in the flower hall. Lu Quan was at Xu's house.
He was in a bad mood after being hit by a soft nail. He nodded lightly and perfunctorily, but he didn't say a single unnecessary word. Seeing this scene, Yan Shi, who was about to speak, swallowed back the rest of his words.
In his stomach, when he saw Lu Quan entering the door, he looked at the back and sighed.
"Brother..." Yan Er came over and asked hesitantly, "Didn't you do that..."
"Nothing? Didn't you see Master Lu's appearance? If you say it now, I will have to suffer the same fate as you!" Yan Da became so angry that he hit Yan Er's ribs with his elbow.
, seeing that his face suddenly turned green, he snorted coldly, "If Mr. Lu asks why he didn't report it earlier, what should we say? In short, I shouldn't have been confused at that time, starting from the beginning but not finishing.
, if this continues, I will be killed by you!"
"But... but the eldest lady..." Before Yan Er could finish his words, he saw Yan Da's dagger-like gaze directed at him, so he had to shut up, moved to the side angrily, and hummed softly, "
Why didn't I see you talking when I was collecting the reward? I regret it now!"
On one side, the brothers and the two concierges were worried. On the other side, Quan went straight to Shen Guang's study to ask for an audience. As soon as he entered the room, he didn't even have time to take a breath, so he told Xu Xun's words truthfully. Seeing his master's brows,
He was hesitant and wrinkled. He usually had to be by his side to help him think of ideas, but now he didn't dare to say a word. It wasn't until Shen Guang sighed that he bit the bullet and said: "Master, it's all my fault.
I shouldn't have been so angry at that moment..."
"What's the use of talking about this now, it's too late!"
Shen Guang slapped the smooth rosewood countertop angrily, and stood up straight away: "If you had spoken softly after he came to break off the engagement for the first time, and got the divorce letter, how could you still be like today?
trouble?"
Seeing Lu Quan's face looking ashamed and about to kneel down, he waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I don't blame you entirely. I was also hesitant after hearing the report of your return. Even Xu Laoliu's Gaoshengyan was...
They avoided it with some excuses, and that's why they are now in trouble. Who would have thought that Xu Erye, who had not been heard from for many years, would still give this boy such help. I don't know what tricks this boy used, but he actually
He could coax someone into writing such a calligraphy for him."
From a poor family in Jurong to earning a place in Jinling, although his ancestors left a large fortune, most of it was built by Shen Guang's hard work. He made friends with powerful people, won over peers, and made good friends in the countryside. With this insight, he
I have never misjudged anyone. The only time I made a mistake was probably because Mr. Xu Er, who was very resourceful and ambitious, arranged a marriage for his daughter. But now, because of this marriage, he is in a dilemma.
!
"Sir, it's just a scroll. Maybe people are just looking at Mr. Xu's old relationship, and that may not mean that the Xu family really has the confidence to rely on it." At this point, Lu Quan glanced at Shen Guang secretly, and saw that he seemed to be unable to persuade his family.
Master, he thought for a while and then said cautiously, "However, I see that his behavior and words are very different from the previous rumors. Maybe he has really enlightened himself. If Master goes there in person, maybe he will happily offer him a divorce."
Book……"
"What divorce letter!"
Following this sudden sound, the master and servant in the study were suddenly startled. When they both turned their heads, they saw the door curtain being lifted up, and it was a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old with bright eyes and white teeth, supporting a child with an arm. The silver old woman on crutches walked in. Shen Guang was startled when he saw this, and was secretly angry at the child guarding outside. He hurriedly winked at the right of the road, saw that she smiled and excused herself, and then he stepped forward to help the old woman's other arm. , said with a smile: "Why is mother here? I was just chatting with Lao Lu about some business gossip, nothing important."
Although Shen Fang was sixty-five, she had refused to move to Nanjing with her son before and had always lived in Jurong. It was not until the beginning of the year that her legs and feet became inconvenient, and Shen Guang repeatedly begged. She thought about the happiness of having children and grandchildren around her, and finally finally She breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, the simple habits she had developed over the years have not changed. She is now dressed neatly in a green-gray half-worn jacket with a slanted front and a silver-white hair with rare black silk hair. Holding up her arms, she looked like an old woman from a poor family. After sitting down, she looked sideways at Shen Guang with a half-smile.
"Isn't it important?" Shen Fangshi noticed that a hand holding her granddaughter tightened slightly, so she smiled and patted the back of her hand, "So your daughter's life-long event is nothing important in your eyes?" Seeing Shen Guang's expression suddenly change, she opened her mouth to explain, but she waved her hand.
"You are the head of this family, so of course you have to make the decision on things that should be yours, but you have to think about your reputation. Your reputation, Yue'er's reputation, and the Shen family's reputation! The Xu family is not good. You want to call off the marriage. This It's also for Yue'er's life, but you are unwilling to come forward in person, and you want to take advantage of those with ulterior motives in the Xu family. Isn't this trying to get skin from a tiger? If you want to do things, you must be quick, profitable, and sincere. Then the Xu family was not good in the past, but he gave way. What Quan told you sounded sincere. Even if you don’t want him to be the son-in-law of the Shen family, why do you need another enemy? You have always had your own ideas, but I shouldn’t need to remind you of this truth!"
Shen Guang's face was turned blue and white by Shen Fang's words. After a long while, he spoke with difficulty: "Mother, please listen to my explanation..."
"No need to explain. I still said that you are the one who is in charge." Shen Fangshi interrupted Shen Guang again and was silent for a long time. Then she sighed in a low voice, "Oh, I said I broke off the engagement, but it turned out that Isn't it bad luck to have to come back with a divorce certificate?"
"What mother said is that I will think it over carefully." Shen Guang coughed slightly, looked up at his daughter with a slightly raised mouth, and said with a nod, "Yue'er, go to your mother's place and send the girl to her hometown in Jurong just now." Get the box you came from."
Seeing his daughter looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, he turned around and went out, but he was still worried. He stood up and went to the door and watched people leaving the yard. He sternly told the children outside the door to be more careful, and then turned around and walked to Chen Shen. Mrs. Fang came forward and whispered: "Mother, I don't know about these joints. It's really helpless." Mr. Luo, a Qingke from Mr. Zhao Qin's family in Nanjing Engineering College, mentioned it in front of me and said it was Zhao Er. The young master didn’t know where he had met Yue’er. He knew that Yue’er was engaged, but her fiancé was a prodigal, so it was a pity to say so. You have been in Jurong, and you want to know the reputation of the Zhao family..."
The so-called reputation can be a complimentary term, but it can also be a derogatory term. Therefore, Shen Fang, who had looked solemn just now, suddenly changed her expression when she heard the name Zhao Qin. After a long while, she narrowed her eyes and said, He asked word by word: "Although Yue'er was born well, her temper is too strong after all, and the Shen family is not a famous official family. Even if the second young master Zhao really saw her, why would he never forget her? Don't be careless, give it to me. Make it clear every word!"
Shen Fang was rarely angry, but Shen Guang couldn't help but hesitate. After a long time, he sighed bitterly: "Mom, the so-called big tree attracts wind is because no one in the Shen family has been an official for several generations, so although I Earning such a family fortune also attracts people's attention. But don't worry, I have already inquired about it. The second master Zhao is carrying a very talented person, and he will not insult Yue'er..."
In the study here, Shen Guang was explaining to his mother in detail. On the other side, Shen Yue left and returned, but outside, he used a little trick to gently and skillfully beat away the child at the door of the study. He was standing outside the window. After listening for a while, her face gradually became filled with shock. After a long time, she suddenly punched the wall with her fist. It wasn't until she heard a sudden "Miss" sound in her ears that she suddenly came back to her senses.
Turning around, she found another child servant. She was about to leave, but unexpectedly, the door to the study room was suddenly opened. Then Shen Guang walked out with an angry face. Facing that sharp gaze, she felt as if there were roots under her feet. It seemed like he couldn't even move a step.
