The autumn rain drizzled all night, and everyone had their own thoughts at the breakfast table the next day.

Fu Daishi got up early. "Although it's autumn, the weather is still too humid. Lao Fan specially made ginger duck porridge. No matter if you eat bread or anything else, have a bowl!"

Regardless of whether they liked it or not, everyone didn't want to make Fu Daishi unhappy, so they served themselves porridge and ate.

When Fu Dai saw that his eldest son seemed depressed, and then he saw that his eldest daughter-in-law didn't pay much attention to him, he knew that the couple might be having a conflict.

"Luqing, this porridge has a strong peppery taste. Are you used to it?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "Dad, you forgot, when we went on a business trip to Henan, I could drink spicy soup."

"Oh, yes, we went to Zhoukou and Xuchang. In the morning, everyone went to drink spicy soup. Yan Heng took a sip and sneezed the whole morning! What were they going there for?"

Fu Yanheng remembered it clearly. It was a rare business trip he and Lu Qing went on together. "Dad, we were investigating the site selection for a hydraulic support factory."

"Yes, I remember now. Time flies. Our two factories are now the best in Asia and the world! How can we not work hard? But it seems like you two haven't gone out to travel together for a long time. Boss, you should sort out the work on hand and take some time off to go out with Luqing to relax."

"Dad," Lu Qing said, "Le Ning is still young, I'm a little worried! Let's wait until the child is a little older! Besides, we both have big things to do right now, so we can't postpone them just for fun."

Fu Daishi knew that Lu Qing was capable. "Daughter-in-law, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. It is a big deal if you are exhausted. You must learn to let go and let the subordinates do things. Even if you are made of iron, how many nails can you hammer? It still depends on everyone's concerted efforts. Especially husband and wife, you must be of one mind and one heart."

These words implied the meaning of teaching, and Lu Qing and Yan Heng agreed together.

Ming Sicun thought of something, "Dad, we haven't traveled abroad together for a long time. The last time was when we went to the United States to see Jiayi. It was icy and snowy, and we didn't have much fun. The weather is just right now, why don't you accompany me for a walk!"

Fu Daishi thought about the work at hand and said, "Sure, I'm honored to travel with my wife. Luqing, do your parents travel around by cruise ship? When you have time, introduce them to us. The two of us have never been on a cruise ship trip."

Lu Qing replied, "My parents probably travel around for several months every year because of their family business, and they can work and do things at the same time. They should be near the Red Sea now, and they may go to Egypt. My mother has always wanted to see the Sphinx. There are several cruise routes that are quite good. I asked someone to send some brochures for my mother to choose from."

"That's great! I'll be waiting for it then!"

Jiayi finished her meal in a few bites. "Dad, Mom, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, I have to go first. The venue is in the suburbs. If I'm late, the road will be congested."

Lu Qing saw that Jiayi had tied her hair into a ponytail today. Although her hair was not long, it could still be tied up. The decoration on it was the diamond hair ring she had given her yesterday.

"Jiayi, do you want a driver to take you there?" Before Fu Daishi could finish his words, Fu Jiayi had already run away.

Everyone had finished eating and the servants came up to clean up.

"Why don't you see Jun Lin? This kid likes to sleep in whenever he wants. I won't urge him to go abroad to study, but at least he should develop good living habits. Look at his brother and sister-in-law, are they the same as him?"

Ming Sicun defended his shortcomings, "It's normal for young people to sleep in! If it weren't for my need to serve you in the morning, I wouldn't want to get up early."

"How are you the same as him? Young people should go to bed early and get up early, and get up at the crack of dawn. Wait for me to talk to him, or just go study abroad! Get out of my sight and sleep however you want!"

Seeing that Fu Dai was not in a hurry to go to work, Ming Sicun took him to the study and told him about what happened to Wang Manshu yesterday.

Lin Luqing and his wife went to work without saying anything more.

Fu Daishi knew something about the Zhou family. After hearing Ming Sicun praising Wang Manshu, he nodded and said, "According to what you said, the children of the Wang family are not bad. In terms of talent and appearance, they are worthy of Jun Lin."

"Of course. I heard that they are going to meet again today to discuss studying abroad. Who knows, maybe Wang Manshu is Jun Lin's true love."

"The Zhou family's jewelry business is spread all over the world, and it is unmatched in China. Zhou Huaiguo is a good person. His wife died so many years ago, but he never remarried. When he was alive, there was no messy news about him. There is nothing wrong with marrying into such a family."

Ming Sicun also said, "Although we are not the kind of family that would plot against other people's property, the fact is that Zhou Huaiguo has no children, and he has been worried about his niece all his life. If there is any property in the future, it will be this child. Zhou Huaiying has a son, who studies herbs and trees. He is not at home every day, but in the mountains and forests. Won't the family property be handed over to his daughter in the future?"

"Well, this is also a very practical situation. What about his father?"

"Wang Huairen? He used to be a famous lawyer in the United States. He was the best at handling criminal cases and had several famous cases where he helped rich people get out of prison. Later, perhaps because of his guilty conscience, he worked at the United Nations in recent years and was very respected! You must know this Wang Huairen. His father is Wang Maoyu! You mentioned him before."

"Oh, that's his father. I can't match him up. The old man has a lot of knowledge. He has been collecting cultural relics since the previous generation, dealing in things from the palace, and later doing rosewood and nanmu business. He made a lot of money. This was popular in those years, and he made a lot of money! That's his father. No wonder their two families can get married. I've seen him once or twice. Is the old man still alive?"

"Yes, I am living well! I couldn't get used to living in Haicheng, so now I live in Tianjin."

"Yes, it's more true. The old man is from Tianjin. I once went to his house and asked him to help look at a painting. He still spoke in the old Tianjin accent. He invited us to dinner at noon and said that the family chef had cooked fish himself."

Ming Sicun saw that he had almost finished talking. "I have no objection to this marriage. You should also do more research and marry a virtuous wife. Don't make the same mistake as Yuanji. I think Wang Manshu, although still young, has some qualities similar to his sister-in-law. Maybe she can really be a good wife for Jun Lin."

"Let the kids have some contact with each other and I'll get to know them from the side as well. Marriage is a serious matter and it's not something to be joked about."

"Okay. Once Junlin is settled, we will only have Jiayi to worry about."

Fu Daishi smiled and said, "I can't bear to marry my daughter off so early. No one is worthy of Jiayi!"

"Okay, okay, okay, you really are the one who likes your own children and someone else's wife! If Jiayi becomes an old maid, no one will blame her, only you! It's all because of you who spoiled her!"

The old couple were discussing their children's life-long events, little knowing that one of their own children was on the verge of divorce.
