Sheng's house in Nan County was ransacked, Sheng Yao asked Mao Jian to bring money to visit the elders, and escorted them back to Longjing Village by the way, don't tell those gossips in the county to bully the elders.

On winter nights, their family gathered in the warm pavilion and told each other the rumors heard in the market.

Sheng'er attracted everyone's attention, his brows were raised, and his eloquence was eloquent, "Then Wu Jingyi was sentenced to death, and all the houses in Wujiabao were vying to be the head of the family. Guess what happened?"

Gang'er hugged Xiao Huansheng and was studying the colorless mirror brought back by Sheng Yao. When this mirror is placed in front of his eyes, everything will be magnified several times. It's interesting. Now that Xiao Huansheng snatched it away, he said : "Don't guess, don't guess, we don't guess!"

Sun Sheng snorted, and continued: "Eighteen martial arts in each room took turns to fight, day and night, fighting for three days and three nights! The result..."

Except for Xiao Huansheng who was obsessed with playing with the magnifying glass, everyone's appetite was whetted, and they looked at Sun Sheng together.

"As a result, the Ministry of Criminal Justice found out that the Wujiabao's money for tea purchases this year was official money! Under heavy punishment... Wujiabao lost everything!"

Gang'er clenched his fists and beat the air, happily said: "Let him catch my little brother, that's right!"

Sheng Yao was looking at the annual accounts, and took time to look at Qiao Zhishu who was beside him. Qiao Zhishu also had a smile on his face.

"Alas, this Wujiabao has become a mess, and each house has started to shirk the position of patriarch again. When everyone counts together, the family can be divided!" Sun Sheng sighed, expressing his regret exaggeratedly, "When Wu Jingyi succeeded the Patriarch, he once said boldly It’s going to be a great cause! It’s really big, it’s a shock to the government and the public! It’s a pity that the century-old family didn’t stand up, alas!”

Little Huansheng couldn't understand, she pinched the magnifying glass to block her eyes, walked upside down for a few steps, and finally threw herself on Qiao Zhishu's lap.

Qiao Zhishu held her small body and helped her up.

Xiao Huansheng was still pinching the magnifying glass, "Little uncle's eyes... are so big! Hairy eyes..."

Although Qiao Zhishu looked at Xiao Huansheng, he was still thinking about Wujiabao.

Wu Jingyi and Sheng Xue are the same kind of people, they will never be satisfied, Wu Jingyi can keep Wujiabao alive without Jiangnan Silver Leaf, it is nothing more than losing the scenery of a hundred years.

Shengxue has no money, and has a pastry shop. She is already very rich in Nanxian County, but she is used to all the materials in the family. As for the accountant, she wanted the dominance of the Sheng family, but at the root of it, she was not satisfied.

Those who surrender to Shengxue are three men, Sheng Shaoyuan, Sheng Yan, and Su Yi, an old farmer, and two sour scholars.Sheng Yan married Dong Xiaomei, and heard Mei Niang say in her ear every day: Shengxue has to thank herself for making cakes and making a fortune, and you have to treat me well, love me and respect me, etc.Day by day, year by year, Sheng Yan has become a tool for the two women to compete for strength. No matter how good Sheng Yan is, he still has ink in his belly. Mother shut up and let herself escape from the shadow of her little sister.

Su Yi doesn't have the pressure from Sheng Yan because he "only reads the books of sages and sages". He married Sheng Xue to meet his own requirements. Don't bother him with trivial matters at home, don't look for him if you have no rice or oil, and can move out of the thatched cottage. It is best not to be disturbed by night rain.In the end, it was "reading only the books of sages and sages" that saved his life, and he ended up canceling his merit and being banned from the exam for life.

The only thing is that he loses to Yu Lan. His half-point end is not good for Yu Lan. Su Yi has always been sorry for Yu Lan.

At this time, Mao Jian came back.

Mao Jian entered the Nuan Pavilion, his whole body was filled with cold air, and his face was as cold as the snow outside the house. He leaned into Sheng Yao's ear and said, "Master Biao, the second elder and Sheng Xue are both... dead."

"Why?" Qiao Zhishu asked in a trembling voice. He was the closest to Sheng Yao, and he heard it immediately. Now his scalp was numb, and he squeezed Sheng Yao's hand tightly.

"Sheng An was looked down upon by Mrs. Dong, Mrs. Fang bought it, and poisoned Mrs. Dong, her husband, daughter, and herself to death." Mao Jian had a complicated expression on his face.

The whole family was wiped out, and the county magistrate hurriedly sent people to investigate, and finally found the medicine store. The medicine boy said that Fang's came to buy it, saying that there were many rats in the house, and he bought something to kill rats.

Sheng Yao also remained silent for a long time, Sheng Yan and Sheng Xue framed Zhishu for murder, he could not let those two go, but he never thought that Sheng Shaoyuan would also die.

After a while, Sheng Yao said to Sheng Ying and Sheng Gang: "Follow me back to Nan County tomorrow, and go to the yamen to pick up my father and bury him."

Both Sheng Ying and Gang'er were stunned...

The two of them have never let go of the Sheng family in their hearts, but they were both abandoned. They also hoped that one day Sheng Shaoyuan and Fang He would take the initiative to find them, but they themselves did not dare to join in. .Unexpectedly, when he heard that they were dead, the pain and regret in his heart were intertwined, and for a while, he lost the strength to speak.

Qiao Zhishu worried, and hurriedly said: "I'll report to the police, that kid Sheng An is only four years old...you must find him back."

He had the experience of being taken away by kidnappers, so he didn't dare to imagine Sheng An's ending.

By the time Qiao Zhishu and Sheng Yao came back from the government office, all the lights in the backyard of the tea house had been turned off.

Qiao Zhishu glanced at Gang'er's room, took the lantern from his entourage, and said to Sheng Yao, "I have to go back to Nan County early in the morning. You go to rest first, and I'll go and see Gang'er."

Sheng Yao nodded, he has too many things to do tomorrow, he will spend time with his younger brother when he is done.And when Gang'er got older, the child had a strange face and didn't want to cry in front of Sheng Yao.

Qiao Zhishu held the lantern and pushed open the door of Gang'er's room. The little guy on the bed immediately turned over and faced the wall.

Qiao Zhishu lit the oil lamp and went to sit down by the bed. Before he could speak, Gang'er turned over and hugged his waist again, buried his head in his lap, hiding his face for Qiao Zhishu to see.

"Why isn't Gang'er still asleep?" Qiao Zhishu pulled the quilt for him.

Gang'er didn't speak, but kept sniffling.

The room was quiet for a long time, and after a long time there was the sound of snow falling outside, Gang'er opened his mouth in a low voice.

"I've been to Nan County."

Qiao Zhishu paused for a moment when he patted Gang'er's back, and then gave a soft 'hmm'.

"I saw her holding that child from a distance, that child is prettier than me..."

After being able to go back to Longjing Village to see his grandma, he finally couldn't hold it back, lied to his master, and ran down the mountain to Nan County under the pretext of missing his grandma. He found Xiangxue sweet cake and saw the fat and white child. The child hadn't left yet. Wen Dang, from time to time would run to the street in front of the shop, hold his head up and turn around to look at the strangers on the street, followed by Fang He hurriedly out to hug him.

"Seeing her so happy, I feel so sad. She can have another healthy child, but I... have no mother anymore."

Sheng Gang cried and trembled all over, he no longer had the courage to call his mother.

"Why...why is there a child like me in this world? Woohoo..."

Qiao Zhishu also missed his mother, he wiped his tears, "Because someone needs it, my brother needs you, and my brother needs us."

Sheng Gang whimpered and said naively: "Ugh...I don't like...I don't like..."

It was so sad, as such a child, he was really too sad.

……

Gang'er cried a lot, and when he fell asleep, Qiao Zhishu returned to the room with cold hands and feet, only to find that Sheng Yao was not asleep either.

"Is Gang'er asleep?" Sheng Yao kept his eyes closed thinking about something, and only opened his eyes when he heard the movement at the door, thinking that Qiao Zhishu had been away for so long, Gang'er must have cried a lot.

When Qiao Zhishu came in, seeing the redness of his eyes and nose, his heart ached, he stood up and opened his arms and called softly, "Come here."

Qiao Zhishu went over and buried her in Sheng Yao's warm embrace.

Sheng Yao hugged and coaxed, "Gang'er cried, and you cried too. Gang'er didn't grow up, and you didn't grow up either?"

"No." Qiao Zhishu was aggrieved and answered honestly.

"Sheng Yan was stupid and ruthless. When I got rid of him, the scene of Fang's hanging himself appeared in front of my eyes. I thought that Sheng An was only four years old, and she would not seek death again, but unexpectedly, Sheng An was gone."

Qiao Zhishu heard the self-blame in Sheng Yao's tone, and put his arms around Sheng Yao's waist, "Sooner or later something will happen to Shengyan's bank. Although the bank run is a trick set by Wujiabao, they don't have strong funds, so they will come back sooner or later." Something happened. Didn’t there be news that the imperial court will ban personal relationships and set up Qian Yin instead?”

Later, Jiaozi was changed to Qianyin, and the imperial court wanted to rectify various commercial firms, and the issuance of Jiaozi required government permission.

There were too many things in their minds, the two embraced each other without speaking.

……

This year has been very depressing, only Sheng Ying, Sheng Yao, and Sheng Gang are left in the Sheng family's house. Besides taking care of the funeral, they also have to look for the four-year-old Sheng An.

But Sheng An disappeared, counting back and forth for a month. When Dong Xiaomei went to report to the authorities when she was first lost, it might be easier to find him.But now, the neighbors can't remember the last time they saw Sheng An.After all, the time is too long, and other more vivid things will happen in the lives of the neighbors.

So even if Sheng Yao spends a lot of money and casts a wide net, he can only hear some confusing and messy information from the neighbors.After finding Kaichun all the time, Sheng An seems to have evaporated from the world...

**

The low tide of Shengjiaqiao Tea House finally began to dissipate after spring.

Because, Qiao Jiasheng Tea House has opened!Sheng Yao did what he said, as soon as the profits come back, people will start looking for shops. The city is so big that they can get whatever they want, as long as they have enough money.

The teahouse has been redecorated inside and out, and all the pillars are painted with new red paint, which is very festive.The tea house has two floors, the first floor has twelve Eight Immortals tables, and the second floor has six rooms facing the street. If the door of the private room is open, you can clearly see the art platform on the first floor.It is said to be a tea house, but it smells like pastries.

Jiangnan Tea Horse General Director Wang Jiangwei invited a few colleagues from the tea horse department to chat and discuss matters in the private room, eating tea and cakes.The prefect of Jiangzhou also invited several colleagues to the next door, and the rest of the rooms were also reserved, all of which were Sheng Yao's business partners.

Wan Chengqi brought his wife, son, and nephew, and a group of six came to congratulate Qiao Zhishu on his grand opening.

Seeing Wan Chengqi's nephew Wan Jiarong also coming, Qiao Zhishu pushed the abacus post, "Go and call Sister Yu."

Gang'er went to the back kitchen yard with his abacus in his hands, and Qiao Zhishu went up to entertain Wan Chengqi.

Wan Chengqi glanced at the second floor, there were people guarding the doors of the two rooms, knowing that Qiao Zhishu had someone important here, he hurriedly congratulated, "Today is your teahouse's grand opening, you call me uncle, we don't talk about etiquette, You are busy first, just get a buddy to lead the way."

Qiao Zhishu smiled generously, "That can't be done. When I first entered Fucheng, I was taken care of by Uncle Wan. How can this junior be contemptuous at this time? After a while, the Xilefu troupe came over, and they passed me the repertoire yesterday. Uncle Wan, you must Get the first point."

It happened that Yu Lan came from the back kitchen, and when she heard Qiao Zhishu's words, she bit her lip, shyly and helplessly went to get the track list, and went to it calmly and generously.

She and Sheng Yao went to Wan Taiping Company a few times, and accidentally said a few words to Wan Jiarong. Does this little Zhishu still want to be a moon old man?

Yu Lan used to live in Su's house, so she knew some poems by ear. Wan Jiarong was a scholar. He felt that he had something to talk to Yu Lan, so he asked Wan Chengqi, and Wan Chengqi passed it to Sheng Yao. Zhishu got excited.

"Look, Uncle Wan, which play do you want to hear?"

Wan Chengqi glanced at Yu Lan, "I'm old and I can't read clearly, Jiarong, you can choose."

When Wan Jiarong walked up to Yu Lan and took the order, Qiao Zhishu led Wan Chengqi and others up to the second floor.Both of Wan Chengqi's two sons are married, so how can there be something he doesn't understand?He followed his father upstairs.

Qiao Zhishu ordered tea himself, and sat with Wan Chengqi in the private room on the second floor for a while, and the cakes were served in baskets.

Qiao Zhishu's etiquette is very good, "Uncle Wan, forgive me, my teahouse is mainly for eating cakes and drinking tea, and there is nothing worth ordering. I will make my own decisions and take what I have."

Wan Chengqi exclaimed: "Oh, the time to make a pot of tea is enough to eat. In such a short time, you bastard, are you afraid that the guests will run away?"

Qiao Zhishu laughed generously.

"It's really fast. Once you come in and sit down, you can't leave. You don't have to wait for the troupe to set up the stage. You know that brother Shu's brains are no worse than brother Sheng's." Wan Chengqi's eldest son also praised.

Qiao Zhishu modestly said, "They're all just smart, they're no more resolute than Brother Wan, once the Qian Yin policy is implemented, he immediately went to get the government permit, Brother Wan will definitely be able to rule the mall."

"I like to hear what Mr. Qiao said..." Wan Chengqi's wife is also very proud of having two business-minded sons. After speaking, she took a bite of the tea cake and said in surprise: "Oh, this cake is salty, sir. Try it, you must like it."

Only then did everyone stop greeting and began to taste pastries and listen to Qiao Zhishu's introduction of pastries.

……

Sheng Yao entertained Wang Jiangwei to a table, and waited for Wang Jiangwei to chat with his colleagues about business before he got up and left.

After he left the first elegant room, he went to say hello to Wan Chengqi.If you want to achieve great things, connections are too important.

Madam Wan felt sorry again when she saw Sheng Yao. It's a pity that she is not her son-in-law with such a good-looking talent.

Sheng Yao picked up the teacup and thanked Mrs. Wan, "Auntie said that the wedding was planned at the end of last year, but the winter was too cold, and I was afraid that I would feel uncomfortable due to the cold, so the date was set in June."

"June? It's less than two months away, but it's all ready? Where do I still have the golden silk cloth I collected in the early years? It's cool and soft to wear in summer. I'll have someone find it and send it to your house tomorrow."

Qiao Zhishu quickly stopped: "Auntie's kindness, I shouldn't refuse, but Eldest Sister is ready to accept."

"That's fine, then Auntie will just come to drink the wedding wine."

"Hmm." Qiao Zhishu nodded repeatedly.

Sheng Yao has been by his side all the time, so he has no intention of being shy about getting married, and always feels that Sheng Yao has long been his.

Kissing and hugging is already a daily routine, so after getting married, is there anything different?
