Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 159 I am my brother-in-law
The man who came was Ji Yueyi's son-in-law. The Cheng'er he mentioned was Sheng Cheng'er, Ji Yueyi's daughter. She went home to visit her relatives that year and was buried in a sea of fire.
Ning Weizhou didn't have a deep impression of this brother-in-law because every time Sheng Cheng'er returned to the Sheng family, she rarely brought her husband home.
I vaguely remember Ji Yueyi once sighed and said that if you really want to discuss the good and bad of Chen Bochang, this son-in-law, there are really no major shortcomings, but he can't be said to be a good husband either.
The Chen family was also a merchant family. They opened several cloth shops in Ling County, next to Wuzhou, and also had their own textile workshop.
The cloths sold are all produced by the family. The patterns and colors are very different from those on the market, which has attracted many buyers. Business has always been good, and the family's financial situation has naturally improved.
But even so, Sheng Cheng'er was considered to be marrying down. After she got married, her parents-in-law were no different from those in other families. Sooner or later, they would have to set rules.
In the following year, Sheng Cheng'er did not give birth to a son or daughter, so the Chen family arranged for three concubines for their son.
Fortunately, the Chen family was a respectable family, and the concubines who came into the family were all from good families. Although they used some tricks, they did not go too far.
But Sheng Cheng'er was sad, so she went to her mother's house more often.
What makes Ji Yueyi helpless is that most couples in the world live like this.
Although the Chen family was a little hasty in taking in a concubine within a year, Chen Bochang was the only son in the family, and offspring were of course more important. There was some truth to their argument.
However, Ning Weizhou didn't know that after Sheng Cheng'er passed away, Chen Bochang's visits to his home increased.
At that time, Sheng Bingwen, Ji Yueyi and others lived in a small village outside the city, leading an extremely simple life.
There were no servants to serve her, and Ji Yueyi did all the heavy work by herself.
When Chen Bochang came to the house, he brought Sheng Cheng'er's dowry with him!
Although the dowry she brought back was not much, it was already a timely help at that time, so Ji Yueyi didn't care about it.
This dowry made Sheng Bingwen and Ji Yueyi go through the most difficult days.
So, from then on, Chen Bochang came to visit every now and then, and Ji Yueyi received him well, and the relationship between the two families became much warmer than before.
This is also the reason why the doorman let the person in directly.
"I heard that my mother-in-law was going on a long trip, so I brought some things for the trip. I didn't expect that I would miss it even after rushing." Chen Bochang looked regretful and even slapped his head:
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have eaten before going out!"
"Since my mother-in-law is not at home, I will go see my grandfather!" Chen Bochang looked very straightforward. He strode over and held Ning Weizhou's shoulders.
"Come on, Xiaozhou, lead the way for me. After we visit Grandfather, you and I can have a drink together!"
As he said this, he supported Ning Weizhou and walked forward.
One help, two help, three help...
Ning Weizhou didn't move at all!
Chen Bochang then put down his hand and laughed dryly: "Why? You still don't recognize me as your brother-in-law?"
Ning Weizhou brushed his shoulders and said, "I'm used to killing people, so I don't like people getting too close to me!"
"Our general will treat any stranger who comes too close as an enemy!" Lou Yi on the side said with a wry smile.
Chen Bochang immediately took two steps back: "You are joking. We are a family, how can we be enemies?"
Ning Weizhou snorted, took Gu Feiwan's hand, turned around and walked inside.
Chen Bochang's face darkened and he followed closely behind.
"This house is really nice. Xiaozhou has a unique vision. Grandfather can rest here and live longer!"
"This rockery stone is quite good. It is obviously a famous product. It must be worth a lot of money!"
"Wow, this clump of Xiangfei bamboo is really well maintained. The gardener Xiaozhou hired must be a famous one!"
Every two steps he took, Chen Bochang would sigh loudly.
Gu Feiwan sneered inwardly. This man pretended to be very vulgar on the surface, but he was actually very cunning inside.
Ji Yueyi was going to Xishu, which was decided just these two days ago. Unexpectedly, Chen Bochang got the news.
Since we know that Ji Yueyi went to Xishu, we also know that Sheng Bingwen is seriously ill.
Yet here you are still talking about prolonging life!
When he arrived at Sheng Bingwen's bedside, Chen Bochang acted as a filial son.
However, Sheng Bingwen did not seem to resist. Although they were not particularly intimate, their conversation was very familiar.
There would certainly be no drinking and chatting between the two brothers. When Chen Bochang said goodbye, he said that he would bring the women in his family to visit in a few days to accompany Gu Feiwan to relieve his boredom.
Back in Sheng Bing's study, the old man held Ning Weizhou's hand and sighed:
"When your elder sister married him, she was wronged. It's not your fault that you don't like him."
"But firstly, your elder sister died tragically while pregnant in the Sheng family. The Sheng family always owes the Chen family two lives! Secondly, if it weren't for the dowry he returned, your aunt and I wouldn't be here today."
Ning Weizhou remained silent. Seeing this, Sheng Bingwen could only turn his gaze to Gu Feiwan.
Gu Feiwan smiled faintly: "Grandfather, don't worry, Xiaozhou didn't beat anyone out, right?"
Seeing that Gu Feiwan had no intention of persuading him, Sheng Bingwen could not say anything to blame him and could only lower his head and sigh.
"Has grandpa ever thought that he has ulterior motives?" Ning Weizhou asked.
"I have nothing now, what else can he want from me? Maybe he treated your elder sister badly back then, and he regretted it after he died. They were always husband and wife!" Sheng Bingwen shook his head.
"Doesn't my grandfather still have a secret recipe?"
Sheng Bingwen raised his head sharply and looked at Ning Weizhou: "Did Yueyi tell you?"
Ning Weizhou shook his head: "My aunt always listens to you, so why would she tell me this? I overheard this when I was sleeping in your study."
"Alas, this is the root of the trouble!" Sheng Bingwen pounded the edge of the bed:
"Back then, Sheng Yanhua already had all the recipes in his hands, but he didn't have the primer, so he couldn't brew Qiuyuezui!"
"I was hesitant back then. Your two uncles were not interested in the family business. You were still so young, and Sheng Yanhua was always a layer away. I was afraid that if I gave it all to him, he would turn against me in the future. What would you do?"
"As time went by, you gradually grew up, and Sheng Yanhua could no longer bear it. I was powerless to suppress you, and the Sheng family was completely destroyed in my hands!"
"If I had known this would happen, I might as well have given him the primer. At least your two uncles and your brothers and sisters wouldn't have died!"
The dried scar was reopened, and blood was still gushing out!
Sheng Bingwen cried like a baby. All those burned to death in that fire were his loved ones!
In all the years he has lived, there has not been a single day that he has not spent in regret and hatred!
Ning Weizhou sighed: "Grandfather, it's not that simple. Even if you gave us the trigger back then, our family couldn't escape that bad fate!"
Sheng Bingwen looked up helplessly, his eyes full of confusion: "Why? He already has the trigger, why is he still so cruel? So many lives have been lost, and they are all related to him. Even if... even if someone bullied him in the past, I have tried my best to help him! Carrying so many lives, isn't he afraid of going to hell?"
When people get old, their hearts are no longer as hard as before.
I always recall the past and wonder if I could have changed my regrets if I had done things differently.
"No, because there are things more tempting than the primer!" Ning Weizhou looked past the door and into the distant horizon.
