Respectfully

The treasurer of Hefenglou, Hefacai, has been restless recently.It was the third time that the waiter had seen him miscalculate the money for the guests.

"Couldn't it be, I'm really offended..."

"Shut up! You don't want to do it anymore?"

He and the shopkeeper were taken away by the people of the Marshal's Mansion last time, and soon there was a rumor that the soap factory run by Lou's family was burned down by the shopkeeper's relative, Zhu Zi.I don't know if the lard was fooled, so I did such a thing!How many people are envious of being able to work in the Loujia soap factory?It doesn't take a lot of skill, but pancakes and steamed buns, not to mention two meals, and eight oceans a month, such a good thing, where can I find it?After working for three months, you can buy an acre of medium-sized fields!

"If you want me to say, Zhuzi deserves to be dead!" A fat-headed and big-eared cook in his thirties said, "You don't know, I heard that when he was found in a random grave outside the city, he had 100 yuan hidden in his body. !"

"Huh? So much?"

"That's not it!" The cook moved closer to a few guys, and deliberately lowered his voice: "It is said that this matter may have something to do with those little Dongyang. Our shopkeeper made Zhuzi a guarantor, so Zhuzi could work in Lou's soap factory . Once Zhuzi dies, the Lou family can't find the right owner, and they have to find someone to vent their anger on. Who do you think they will find?"

"hiss!"

Several of the guys gasped at the same time, thinking in their hearts, if this is the case, Hefenglou's work probably cannot be continued.Money is important, but life is even more important!

After the fat cook finished speaking, he turned his head seemingly inadvertently, and sure enough, he saw a figure flashing past the door. Judging by his figure and clothes, he was clearly He Feng Lou's shopkeeper He Fa Cai.

When the shopkeeper heard him chewing his tongue, instead of being nervous, the fat cook had a look of joy on his face.Rubbing his hands, he did as the grandfather ordered. The remaining five oceans should be available, right?

He Facai walked quickly through two alleys, stopped in front of a single-family house, took a breath, and knocked hard on the door: "Open the door! I'm coming!"

When the people in the house heard the movement, an old woman in her 50s opened the courtyard door, and walked inside without saying a word to Fa Cai.

The two-entry house, bypassing the screen wall, is the main hall. A woman in a red padded jacket, with narrow eyes and a peach-blossom face came out to greet her. The woman was petite, but with plump breasts and round buttocks. Called a natural stunner.

"Master, you are here."

"kindness."

The woman was the concubine He Facai brought in in the second year of the Republic of China. Because He Facai doted on her too much, the wife and concubine in the backyard wholeheartedly rejected He Facai.This incident made Hefa Cai almost turn against Yue's family.

"Come with me."

With a sullen face, He Facai walked into the inner room, drove the girl and mother-in-law away, closed the door, and asked, "Say, who are you?!"

The woman froze for a moment, her face full of confusion, "Master, what are you talking about? I'm Ah Xiang."

"Ah Xiang?" He Facai's face sank like water: "You told me that you are from Henan, your family suffered a disaster, and you were separated from your family on the way to flee famine, right?"

"Yes, master, you know all of this." Axiang said, seemingly remembering something sad, and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "If the master hadn't saved me at that time, I would have..."

He Facai looked at her with no previous love on his face. He is a businessman, even if he is not shrewd, he is not an idiot!

"Then tell me, a native Henan girl, why does she talk in her sleep and speak Japanese?"

The expression on Ah Xiang's face changed suddenly.

"Nothing to say?" He Facai said with a cold face, "You still haven't told me the truth?! Did you instigate Zhuzi? I was just wondering, who did he listen to for such a dull person? Would he do such a thing?! I didn’t realize until someone mentioned it that when he didn’t work in the soap factory, he would come to this house every five days to deliver firewood!”

"My lord, I am wronged! I..."

"How long are you going to argue!" He Facai said angrily, "You are not a country girl fleeing for refuge, you are Japanese, right?!"

At this moment, the girl and the mother-in-law screamed from outside the door; "Who are you?! What are you going to do?!"

He Facai was startled, originally she was still crying, but A Xiang, who looked delicate, turned serious, and asked sharply: "Did you call someone to come?!"

Before he could speak to Fa Cai, the door was kicked open with a bang, and several big men in black shorts broke into the room.The waist of the big man is all bulging, and he is carrying a guy at a glance.

"And the boss, are you safe?"

Behind the big man, a man in a long gown and round glasses came out. He Fa Cai knew him. After the soldiers under the command of Lou Shaoshuai detained him, it was this man who asked him first.

"Xiao, Mr. Xiao..."

Xiao Youde smiled slightly, and motioned to the people beside him. Two big men stepped forward, one grabbed He Fa Cai, and the other held A Xiang.

Mr. Xiao walked to the table and sat down. Ah Xiang was pressed and knelt in front of him, "And the boss, you don't know what your aunt's real name is, do you?"

He Facai shook his head, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Her name is Kawaguchi Kawako, and her father is Kawaguchi Imazo, the president of Kawaguchi Trading Company. Speaking of which, she became your concubine. You should really burn the incense. This is a true young lady."

Speaking of this, Mr. Xiao laughed, and He Facai's face was already pale. He might not survive today... Looking at Axiang again, no, Kawaguchi Kawaguchi's gaze almost wished to tear her into pieces and eat her alive up!

Outside the house, Uncle Dumb looked at the closed courtyard door, his expression unchanged, but the two men behind him were a little dejected, "What are you going to do now? Why are those people in official clothes so reckless?"

The dumb uncle gave him a cold look, and the man quickly shrank his neck: "The boss... no, dumb uncle! Dumb uncle!"

Only then did the dumb uncle turn his head and made a gesture, which meant: Let's go!

He knew the man who went in earlier, he was from the Lou family.It seems that the Lou family is determined to deal with this group of Orientals this time.It is still necessary to inform the young master about this matter as soon as possible, and it is still up to the young master to make a decision on what to do.

Walking out of the alley, Uncle Dumb paused. I hope this incident can make the young master understand that to do big things, you have to be ruthless!It was too late for the master to figure it out.He left room for others, but others didn't think of giving him a way out!

Can it be counted as bullets if there are no omissions?

Li Qingchang's first seven have already passed.

Due to the fire at the soap factory, Li Jinyan postponed the day to pick up the second wife.Originally Mrs. Lou said that if he was really busy, the Lou family could send someone there.Li Jinyan insisted on going to pick him up in person.

"Mom, it's not that I'm stubborn, but that I have to."

The road has reached 99 steps, and there is only one last step left, which must be completed by himself.Because this is what "Li Jinyan" must do.

"I see." Mrs. Lou smiled: "You are a good boy."

This time, she didn't let Lou Xiao go with Li Jinyan again, and didn't say much.

The Lou family's car drove to the gate of Li's house, and the white banner on the door had been removed.Master Li San knew in advance that Li Jinyan was coming to pick him up, and he was already waiting by the door.

"Third Uncle." Li Jinyan got out of the car and said hello to Master Li San.

Li Qingyun looked at Li Jinyan with a smile, always feeling that his nephew was a bit different.The temperament on his body became more stable, as if he had grown up a lot overnight.

In the east room, the third wife was waiting with the second wife, even the old lady was there.

Li Jinyan and Master Li San walked in, just in time to see the old lady handing over a wooden box to the second lady: "Feng Yun, this is what was agreed when we separated, you don't want it, but you look down on me, an old lady?"

"Mother, what you said made my daughter-in-law feel ashamed."

The second lady hurriedly took the box, looked up and saw Li Jinyan and Li Qingyun standing by the door, "Yan'er!"

"Mom, I'm here to pick you up."

Li Jinyan stepped over the threshold, knelt down sincerely, and kowtowed to the old lady: "Grandmother, grandson kowtows to you!"

The old lady's eyes were a little red, "Get up, good boy, it's because I couldn't bear it, I couldn't protect you, and made you suffer that grievance."

The second wife and the third wife were busy persuading, and the third master was also making jokes, finally calming down the old lady's mood.

"Grandma, I have to say goodbye to the old man."

"Well, go." The old lady said, "Let your third uncle go with you."

Li Jinyan nodded and left the east room with Li Qingyun.On the way not wanting to go to the main house, I met Li Jinqin who was dressed in plain clothes.Li Qingyun frowned: "Big girl, what are you doing here if you're not in the room to honor your father?"

Li Jinqin didn't speak, just stared at Li Jinyan, just when Li Jinyan thought she was going to say something out of tune again, she turned and left.

"Leave her alone." Li Qingyun said: "Eldest brother arranged a marriage for her before he died, and the whole family kept it a secret. Eldest brother was seven years old, and the family knew from nowhere that the Li family had separated, so they came to the door to withdraw the marriage. Later, I was stopped by Jincheng."

Is Li Jinqin engaged?

"Which one is it?"

"The youngest son of Xing Changgeng, deputy captain of the Northern Presidential Palace Guard, born to his concubine."

After speaking, Master Li San's tone was tinged with sarcasm.Li Jinyan was a little surprised, his uncle stretched his hands long enough, how did he get in touch with this Xing Changgeng?

"If you want me to say, this matter will not work out in the end." Master Li San smacked his lips: "Brother is dead, the Li family is separated again, the eldest family has almost nothing, and fell out with you again, Xing The big girl was married in because the family's mind was trapped by the door. In the final analysis, how did the elder brother make this marriage in the first place, even the old man didn't know. It's probably not a serious way."

Li Jinyan didn't answer, no matter how the marriage ended, it had nothing to do with him.The separation was indeed right.Mr. Li San is also rejoicing that he still has two daughters. If his reputation is ruined by this incident, he will have no place to cry if he doesn't talk about finding someone to reason with!

Compared with when the family was separated, Mrs. Li was much older.Seeing Li Jinyan, his attitude was very cold.Li Jinyan didn't care too much, just saluted politely and said hello, and said that he would come to pick up the second wife today.

"Grandpa, if nothing happens, grandson won't disturb your rest."

"Wait." Old Master Li suddenly stopped Li Jinyan, "You know about your eldest sister, right?"

"understood."

"You ask the Lou family to bring a message, you can't let the Xing family just withdraw their marriage like this!"

Li Jinyan looked at Mrs. Li in disbelief and asked him to ask the Lou family to help?Even if the Lou family is willing to help, what will outsiders think?What if the Xing family was more ruthless and said that none of the girls from the Li family could get married, so what if they force her to marry?Li Jinqin is not the only girl in the Li family!Even if the Xing family finally married Li Jinqin, would she have a good life after marrying?

It wasn't just Li Jinyan who thought of this, Li Qingyun's expression also changed.

"Father, you are so confused!" Li Qingyun didn't care about other things, and said directly: "Anyway, not many people know about it. The Xing family retired, and Jinqin still has to keep his filial piety. After the filial piety, he will make another marriage." , No one can say anything! Once the Lou family speaks, do you want the reputation of the Li family girl?! Jin Shu and Jin Hua are also old, don't you think about your two granddaughters?!"

Li Qingyun could say these words, but Li Jinyan could not.Even if Master Li San's words offended the elders, others would only say that he loves daughters eagerly. If it were Li Jinyan, he would become narrow-minded, hating his cousins, and disregarding blood relationship.

Seeing that his son's expression was not right, Mrs. Li had no choice but to give up.

Walking out of the main hall, Li Qingyun snorted: "What is this called!"

"Third uncle, you should pay more attention to this matter." Li Jinyan frowned, he always felt that this matter was not over yet.

"I know." Master Li San nodded and said; "I said that the big girl met you today, why are you so honest..."

The second lady packed up the things, and the girl only brought Tian Xi and Tian Fu.The other girls, those who had family members gave them the deeds and ten oceans to go home, but those who had nothing to do were also taken away by the old lady and the third lady.The branch in Li Jinyan's room was picked up by her natal brother, and the second wife specially gave him twenty oceans.

Zhi'er originally wanted to wait for Li Jinyan to come back and kowtow to him before leaving, but her natal brother was in a hurry, saying that the old lady was lying on the bed and couldn't get up, so she was waiting to see her daughter, and the second wife didn't have any reason to stop her.

"I planned to leave her to you." The second lady sighed, "She is a good girl, but unfortunately you are not lucky."

Li Jinyan was overwhelmed by what he heard. Fortunately, this matter didn't work out, otherwise wouldn't it be delaying the girl?If Marshal Lou finds out, I'm afraid it won't do him any good.Li Sanshao rubbed his waist subconsciously, causing the second lady to give him a strange look, so he could only smile awkwardly.

The car stopped in front of the bungalow that Lou's house gave to Li Jinyan, the concierge opened the door, a clean woman and two seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids stood respectfully by the door, seeing the second wife and Li Jinyan get out of the car, all together Said in a low voice, "Madam, Young Master Yan."

"Mother, you can live in this house with peace of mind. If there is anything you don't like, just tell your son."

"Mother knows." The second lady said with a smile, "I, Zhao Fengyun, have married a good man and given birth to a good son in my life. It's worth it."

Southern Six Provinces, Kawaguchi Trading Company Headquarters

The door of Imazo Kawaguchi's office was slammed open, and a man of medium build and ordinary appearance held a telegram in his hand and said out of breath, "President, something happened to Miss Xiangko!"
