Lu Yuan chewed the food in his mouth unhurriedly, and after swallowing it, he said calmly, "Mother, compare your heart with your heart. If my father had already set up a concubine before marrying you, would you be willing?"
Eldest Princess Rong Xin choked, and then sullenly said: "How can this be compared? Mother was a princess at the beginning, marrying your father is a marriage, of course he will not have a concubine room, but An An is right to marry you It’s normal for you to marry a concubine, if she doesn’t like it, then it’s unvirtuous!”
Lu Yuan coughed, put down his chopsticks, and said solemnly: "Mother, it doesn't matter if An'an is virtuous or not. Don't involve her in everything. It's because my son doesn't want to marry Ning'er. My son doesn't like Ning'er at all. Why do you have to force your son to marry her? Even if you force your son to marry her, you will definitely not treat her well, so wouldn't you be more sorry for your aunt? It would be better not to marry her!"
After hearing this, Eldest Princess Rong Xin said a little anxiously: "The marriage between you and Ning'er was decided by your aunt and me more than ten years ago. It is the order of your parents and the words of the matchmaker. It is up to you to refuse it. It is reasonable You should marry Ning'er as a regular wife. My mother cared about your heart, wronging Ning'er to be a regular wife is already a concession to you in every possible way. Ning'er, mother won't allow you to marry An An, let's see who can beat the other."
Hearing this, Lu Yuan's head suddenly turned into two big ones. He looked at Princess Rong Xin resentfully, and said pitifully, "Mother, is it really okay for you to force your son like this?"
Eldest Princess Rong Xin did not show any weakness, "You are forcing your mother, okay? My mother has told you a hundred times that you have been engaged to Ning'er since you were young, and you even changed your post. Now you don't want to admit it. Isn't it harmful? Mother will never pretend to do such a treacherous thing."
"Also, why don't you tell my mother that Ning'er is not as good as An Anchang, what else is wrong with her? Is it worthy of your disgust?"
Ning'er was taken to Princess Rongxin's mansion since she was a child. Princess Rongxin watched her grow up. She knows Ning'er best. He is a gentle, honest, humble and polite child. The princess loves her so much, I really don't know what this brat thinks, why doesn't he like her
Lu Yuandao: "Mother, it's not because Ning'er is bad, but because Ning'er is very good. My son doesn't want to miss her. Ning'er's good background is not bad. She should find a man who loves and respects her to marry her. In my son's heart Without her, wouldn't it be a waste of her life if she was forced to marry her son?"
"Hmph, how old are you now? Can you see it for a lifetime? Maybe you will think that Ning'er is a hundred times better than that An'an in the future, no, when you get to know the two of them, you will definitely think so. In short, you Now don't care about who's wrong or not, just marry Ning'er to be serious!" Eldest Princess Rong Xin said a little arrogantly.
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has great confidence in Ning'er. She believes that sooner or later, Yuan'er will appreciate Ning'er's goodness, and will definitely see through An'an's true face. By then, he will also be able to wake up and know what to do. Who should be good to whom
Therefore, she has always insisted that no matter what, even if Ning'er is temporarily wronged as a flat wife, she must make her son marry her. Otherwise, if someone else married such a good girl, Yuan'er might never meet such a good girl again in this life...
This conversation ended without any accident. They have had this kind of conversation many times between their mother and son. Although Princess Rongxin wanted Lu Yuan to marry Ning'er first, even if Ning'er was wronged to be a flat wife Okay, but Lu Yuan just refused. He didn't want to be wronged by An'an, and he didn't want to waste Ning'er's life, so since this time, he has been playing Tai Chi with his mother, and the two of them have been chirping about it for nearly a year. For a month, until Lu Yuan set off for Jizhou, there was no debate.
When Lu Yuan left, he walked with Chen Bingrong. The two are now in charge of the Northern Army together. It is necessary to have a lot of communication and get to know each other.
**
It takes a few days for Shen Ruolan to make the custom-made tools. She wants to take advantage of this time to go back to Jizhou to deal with the business in Jizhou. If possible, she hopes to sell all the properties there. , exchanged into silver taels, and their family will take root in the backing village in the future.
She told her father about her thoughts, and Shen Dejian was very supportive of her thoughts. He is a native of the country, and Lao Gen'er lives in the country. He likes the simple and stable life in the country from the bottom of his heart. Now Lan'er is anxious to return to his hometown Come down and take root, just as he wants!
However, the few shops in the family are prosperous shops, and they will definitely cost a lot of money if they are exchanged or sold. He doesn't worry about his daughter going alone, so if the old money is in Lan'er's hands, it will be dangerous to be targeted. The food was ruined, so I decided to go with Shen Ruolan, and let my wife and Zhu'er Ju'er stay in their hometown, and come back after they finish handling the shop.
The two of them left as soon as they said they wanted to go, and they set off on the same day after they decided. They were sent by Da Chun'er, and they arrived in Jizhou after two days of walking on the road.
After arriving in Jizhou, the father and daughter didn't even return home, so they went to the hot pot restaurant, printing factory and dim sum workshop to have a look at the business situation of the shop during their absence, whether the turnover has dropped, etc. , the result made them very satisfied.
During their absence, Fu Cun, Jin Cun, and Zhou Zheng were all very attentive, even more attentive than when they were present. They kept the shop in good order, and remembered the accounts clearly. Afterwards, she came up with the idea of 'if the shop can't be cashed out, just keep it open like this and let the three of them manage it for her'.
These three people are all reliable people who know the basics. One has received her favor, and the other two are her cousins. They can do their best to help her. However, this is a bad idea. If you want to redeem it, you don’t want to do anything else, just to save your worry!
In order to get rid of the shop as soon as possible, Shen Ruolan also went to the Jizhou Chamber of Commerce, and explained to the president of the chamber of commerce that she was going to exchange the shop and sell the house. Easy to talk, after hearing Shen Ruolan's request, he immediately agreed to help her.
It's just that whether you want to exchange a shop or sell a house, it's not a business with little money. You can't exchange it if you want to, or sell it if you want. If you sell it, if you are unlucky, you may not be able to sell it for a month or two.
Shen Ruolan also knew that there was no rush for this matter, so she explained it to the president of the chamber of commerce and went home.
When returning home, it was already evening, Shen Ruolan looked at the brightly lit palace opposite, and suddenly wanted to see what he was doing? It's been more than 20 days since I saw him, and she misses him a little...
However, before she could take action, the uncle and aunt came to the door.
"Second brother, you are back. If you don't come back, you won't be able to see your elder brother..." As soon as she entered the door, the aunt began to bleed.
Shen Dejian hastily gave up his seat to his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and said with a smile, "Why did sister-in-law say that? You can't see it, brother, isn't it good?"
"What's the matter? Both of us are going to make Mei Er worry to death. You don't know. A few days ago, your elder brother got seriously ill and almost gave up his life. I'm just holding on." , If it wasn't for Meier, I would have dropped the film a long time ago..." The aunt said, pulling her skirt and wiping her eyes, she was not pretending, it was the pain from the bottom of her heart, and she was crying from the bottom of her heart.
During this period of time, the old couple traveled all over the streets and alleys of Jizhou City in order to find Shen Ruomei, asking everyone they met, and inquiring about them when they saw them. many.
It's a pity that after searching for so long, she still found nothing. Shen Ruomei seemed to have disappeared out of thin air without any news, but it made them both very worried. They went out to look for their daughter every day, and cried when they came back at night, almost blinding their eyes.
Because I was thinking about her, I always dreamed about her at night. For a while, I dreamed that she was sold to a brothel by a kidnapper, and for a while, I dreamed that she was sold to the mountains to be the wife of an old bachelor. I also dreamed of Shen Ruomei. Cry with them, say she is cold, that she is in pain, and that she is going to die, let them save her.
Among the three children of Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen, Shen Ruomei is the most rare. The scene in the dream is like piercing their hearts. The mood is more urgent.
No, after looking for the girl at night, when they heard that Shen Ruolan and the others were back, the old couple came here without even bothering to eat. Lan Ya promised them to ask Zhan Wang to help find Shen Ruomei, and then their family The old couple have been looking forward to the stars and the moon, and Pan Lanya will come back, so that she can help them to ask King Zhan to find their daughter!
"Come on, uncle, aunt, come and drink some tea." Shen Ruolan picked up the teapot on the kang table and poured water for the uncle and aunt, and put it beside them.
"Don't be too busy, Lan Ya."
Aunt Shen blew her nose and said, "I'm not here for tea with your uncle today, we just want to ask you if you remember what you promised us before?"
As soon as Shen Ruolan heard it, she knew that what she was talking about was asking her to help Shen Ruomei beg King Zhan. Before that, she did promise the uncle and the aunt, but she didn't agree voluntarily. The aunt wanted to kneel down to her again. , she had to kowtow to force her again, she had to agree, so she never thought of helping them sincerely, so she had to perfunctoryly say, "Ma'am, of course I remember, in fact, I will go to ask you on the same day after I promise you." King Zhan is gone, and King Zhan also sent people to look for it, but I can't find it, and I can't help it!"
When Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen heard this, it was as if they were crushed by the last straw, and they burst into tears at the same time. The aunt patted her thigh and sang while crying, "Oh my God, you put my Meier Where did it go? Are you still letting our old couple live? Isn't this killing our old couple... "
The uncle was also crying with snot and tears. The famous tough guy in the backing village is now being tortured by his daughter like a wimpy old man, not to mention how pitiful he is.
When Shen Dejian saw the appearance of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, he hurried to comfort him, but how could a few comforting words that were neither painful nor itchy soothe the desperate heart of the old couple
Shen Ruolan knew that the reason why the uncle and aunt were crying at her house was to put pressure on her, and wanted her to help her to work harder. Although she was not very satisfied with their actions, seeing their sad appearance , I can't bear to blame them anymore.
The uncle and aunt cried for a long time, until they were tired from crying and their voices became hoarse, and they could no longer cry, so they stopped.
After the old couple left, Shen Dejian hesitated, and said, "Lan'er, why don't you go and ask King Zhan, as long as he comes forward, he will definitely find Meier."
Shen Ruolan said lightly: "If it were Brother Fu Cun and Brother Jin Cun, I would have begged him even if the old lady didn't tell me, but Shen Ruomei can't, Dad, you can say that I have a grudge or a small mind, anyway. I've got her grudge, it's her business whether she lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me, I won't beg someone because of her."
Shen Dejian listened, sighed helplessly, and stopped talking.
In this family, Shen Ruolan has the absolute right to speak. Even if Shen Dejian is the father, he can't order Lan Ya to do something she doesn't want to do. This is an unwritten rule, which was developed unconsciously. Shen Dejian has always followed I never thought of breaking it.
Shen Ruolan sat with her father for a while, then went back to sleep.
When I fell asleep in the middle of the night, I suddenly felt heavy and woke up.
She opened her eyes, and suddenly saw that familiar handsome face, stopping over her head and looking at her affectionately.
"Why are you here?" Ruolan asked in a nasal voice with sleepy eyes open.
Chunyu Xun smiled and said, "You are here, of course I have to come."
Shen Ruolan said, "Have you finished dealing with your affairs?"
"It's almost there!" Chunyu Yu replied, taking off his clothes quickly with his hands and feet, and got under the bed of Shen Ruolan.
"Come on, Lan'er, give me a hug!" After not seeing her for a long time, he missed her so much, after getting into bed, he immediately reached out and hugged her.
Shen Ruolan didn't resist either, and slipped into his arms, and hugged his waist cooperatively.
The moment of embracing each other, the familiar body and familiar smell made their hearts feel at ease, just like a traveler who has been traveling for many days and returned to a warm home, the spirit was suddenly relaxed and the soul was found. It's like a moored harbor.
Chunyuzhen buried his face in Shen Ruolan's neck, and said in a low voice: "Lan'er, I have already sent people to build a house in the mountain behind your house, and after a few months you are old enough, I will take care of you." Go to your house to propose marriage, and we can live together like this every day... "
Shen Ruolan heard that he went to the back mountain to build a house, and said suspiciously: "It's already November, and it's going to be freezing soon, is there still time to build a house now?"
"In time, I have prepared all the materials for building the house these days, and the craftsmen have also been found. It only takes ten days and a half a month to finish the construction. First, the main house will be built, and the rest of the garden and water pavilion will wait for next year. It's being repaired in spring." Chun Yuxuan replied in a low voice.
Hearing this, Shen Ruolan smiled and said: "I'm afraid the emperor and queen mother will take you back before next year. I always feel that they will not let us go so easily. The calm during this period is just a storm coming It's all just quiet for a while, they must be holding back some big moves waiting to deal with us!"
Chun Yuxuan raised his head from her neck, two sharp lights flashed in his deep eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "I have made the biggest concession, if there are still people who are aggressive and push forward, I will let them Pay the price!"
In the darkness, Shen Ruolan couldn't see his expression, but suddenly felt that she was suddenly enveloped by a chilly aura. Shen Ruolan shrank a little, curled up in his arms, and murmured, "Stop saying these scary words Come on, tell me, what do you plan to do if you move to Guashantun? How many people will you bring there? I remember that there is a prospective aunt in your house, do you want to bring it too? "
After hearing this, Chunyu Jue's expression softened a lot, and he sniffed her face, and said with a smile, "It's so sour, why do I smell such a strong smell of vinegar?"
Shen Ruolan turned her head and gave him the back of her head, "Don't talk about it being useless, tell me, how do you plan to arrange her?"
If Chunyuzhen didn't send Qinglian away, Shen Ruolan would never let it go. Even if she knew that Chunyuxuan didn't have that kind of thought for Qinglian, she wouldn't put a woman who had a bad heart for her man by his side.
Fortunately, Chun Yuxuan did not disappoint him, and leaned into her ear and said, "I have already given her a sum of money to send her back to her hometown. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?"
He spoke so lightly, that Shen Ruolan thought it would be easy to send Qinglian away, but she didn't know that Qinglian had made a tough fight before she left, she refused to leave no matter what, seeing Chunyu He insisted on sending her away, but he bumped his head against the pillar and almost died.
After hitting the wall, Chunyu Suzhen ordered someone to rescue her, and while she was still recuperating, he sent someone to forcibly escort her away.
It's not that Chunyusu turned her face and refused to recognize others, but that her behavior touched Chunyuxuan's bottom line, which made Chunyuxuan very disgusted.
He hated others threatening him the most, even the Queen Mother rarely succeeded in threatening him, let alone her
When Shen Ruolan heard that Qinglian was sent away, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and she murmured, "Not only Qinglian, but also any woman. I'm a person with a cleansing feeling. Sharing with other women, this is my bottom line, if you really want to live with me for the rest of your life, I hope you will never touch me."
Chunyu Yu pinched her face, with a somewhat ambiguous expression, and said, "Look at what you said, it seems that you are a lecherous man, if I liked women, the backyard would have been overcrowded long ago, why is it like this? Is it so cold?"
Shen Ruolan thought about it, so she snuggled into his arms and jokingly said, "I feel a little sorry to hear what you said? Why, regret it?"
After hearing this, Chunyu Jue gritted his teeth and said, "You little heartless person, I'm going to guard you like a jade for you. How dare you say such a thing? I'll make you regret it now!"
After finishing speaking, he reached out and grabbed Shen Ruolan's two armpits.
Shen Ruolan didn't expect him to make such a move. She clearly remembered that this move was used by her to deal with him, but she didn't expect to be used by him now. She really wanted to cry, she resisted and begged for mercy, "Stop making trouble , hahaha... my father is in the east room, be careful if he... hahaha... hear..."
Chun Yuyu also didn't want to be heard by his future father-in-law. After seeing Shen Ruolan begging for mercy, he caught and wrote it down and let her go. However, he didn't let her go for nothing, and also extorted a lot of 'benefits'.
Both of them were men and women back then, and they both had feelings for each other, needless to say the wonderful things between the beds...
The next day, before daybreak, Chunyu Yu quietly left.
Shen Ruolan spent half the night arguing with Chunyu Xun last night, and she didn't sleep well. After Chunyu Xun left, she wanted to sleep for a while, but she overslept after sleeping.
After Shen Dejian got up, he saw that Shen Ruolan hadn't gotten up, so he listened to her door for a while, heard her regular breathing, knew that his daughter was in a deep sleep, and couldn't bear to wake her up, so he got up and went to his dim sum shop. Come back with some snacks for my daughter to eat for breakfast.
When passing by the hot pot restaurant, the hot pot restaurant had just opened, and the clerks and handymen inside were cleaning the tables and chairs. When a handyman saw Shen Dejian, his eyes lit up immediately, he trotted a few steps to catch up with him, and said in a low voice: "Boss, you are back, I have something to report to you..."
Shen Dejian stopped and said, "You are..."
"Hehe, the younger one's surname is Cui, and he is the third eldest in the family. Everyone calls him the younger Cui Sanzi!" Cui Sanzi nodded and bowed, introducing himself enthusiastically.
Shen Dejian nodded, and asked again: "What do you want from me?"
Cui Sanzi said: "I remember that a few months ago our family searched everywhere for the young lady of the old man's family. At that time, the old man offered a reward of ten taels of silver, hehehe..."
When Shen Dejian heard this, he immediately became serious, "Why, do you know where Meier is?"
Cui Sanzi chuckled, and said: "Don't dare to lie to my master, the young one does know something about the eldest lady, but, just..."
He raised his hand, twisted his thumb and index finger, and made a gesture of asking for money.
Shen Dejian immediately said excitedly: "The money is easy to talk about. If you can really help us find Meier, the money will be paid to you immediately!"
"Hey, it's better for the boss!" When Cui Sanzi heard that he had the money, he immediately laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, rubbed his hands and waited for Shen Dejian to give him the money.
Shen Dejian hurriedly took him to the dim sum workshop, called Shen Jincun, and told him to go to the printing factory to call Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen and Fu Cun, and said that there was news about Mei Er.
After so many days, it was so easy to look forward to the news of Meier. Shen Dejian hoped that the eldest brother and sister-in-law would be the first to know.
As soon as Shen Jincun heard about Shen Ruomei's news, he immediately ran out of the printing press, and brought his parents and elder brother back in a short while. Called: "Where is my Meier? Is she okay now? Has she been wronged..."
When he entered the courtyard, he even grabbed Cui Sanzi's arm and shook it vigorously: "Tell me, tell me quickly, how is my Meier doing now? Is she doing well?"
Cui Sanzi chuckled but said nothing. Shen Dejian knew what was going on, so he untied his bag, took out a ten tael silver note, and said, "This is ten tael silver. I hope you didn't lie, otherwise , I will find a way to make you walk around without food."
Cui Sanzi smiled as he took the silver ticket: "Even if the young one has ten guts, he wouldn't dare to lie to you, the young one. The young one does know where the eldest lady is, and he can take the old lady to look for it at any time, but, at the beginning Some people also said that they would offer a reward, I remember, those two people also said that they would reward each other with two taels of silver!"
"Hey, this is two taels of silver, here it is for you!" Shen Fucun knew that Cui Sanzi was begging him for money, so he immediately took out two taels of silver and gave it to Cui Sanzi without hesitation.
Shen Jincun also took out two taels of silver and handed it over, and said: "All the silver is given to you, quickly take us to find Meier!"
Cui Sanzi took fourteen taels of silver all at once, almost bursting with snot. He held the silver in his hand and looked at it and bit it. After confirming that it was pure silver, he carefully hid it, and finally took Shen Dejian away. The ten tael silver note given to him looked at the sun for a long time before putting it away.
Aunt Shen was so anxious that she stomped her feet. Seeing that he had finally checked the money, she couldn't wait to say: "You tell me, where is my daughter? How is she doing now?"
Cui Sanzi smiled and said: "Don't worry, the eldest lady is still fine now, she is at Niu Kui's house in Niujiatuner, she seems to have become Niu Kui's wife..."
