Great Imperial Merchant

Following the sound, it was a young man who had just made a date and walked in through the door.He is tall and slender, with a handsome and refined face. From a distance, he looks a lot like Cheng Weizhe.

It's just that Cheng Weizhe inherited his father Lin Shaofeng's heroic and free and easy, looks taller and stronger, he is a real handsome man.

The visitor didn't wait for the people in the main room to open his mouth, so he said in a hurry: "Father, I said that I like Yousu, why didn't you agree to our marriage? What's wrong with him, you want to treat us like this?"

When he frowned and spoke, his whole demeanor was completely different from Cheng Weizhe's, especially his eyes were a little small, and he looked so mean and mean.

Bai Xiaozhu turned his head and glanced at him, just this one glance made the blubbering young man stop, and then sat down beside his father with a stiff face.

"You are old and young, why are you still so unruly? Didn't you see uncle and brother?" Bai Xiaozhu pulled his youngest son up, and then asked the young man behind him to send him to the academy, and then reprimanded him after he left Eldest son.

Cheng Weishu was a little unhappy when his father scolded him like this, but his temper softened because of years of obedience, and finally he just reluctantly rushed to Chenghe and said: "Uncle, good morning."

He asked Cheng He early, but he ignored Cheng Weizhe and didn't even look at him.

Cheng Weizhe didn't care at all, he was worried about the business in Yang Zhongyuan's store, and he didn't have the heart to sit here and deal with this big family.

Seeing that Cheng Weishu still didn't observe etiquette, even Cheng Yao, who hadn't said a few words when he got up early in the morning, reprimanded him: "Weishu, you are already weak, and you are an indomitable man."

His voice was very soft, but Cheng Weishu couldn't help but stiffen his back when he heard it, and finally glanced at Cheng Weizhe perfunctorily, and muttered softly: "Good morning, brother."

Cheng Weizhe nodded, and kept stroking the blue pattern on the teacup with his hand, gradually getting impatient.But in front of Cheng's family, he still had to endure, not to give Cheng Yao and Bai Xiaozhu too much face.These two people are different from Cheng He. They are shrewd and not good at it.

Cheng Weishu was pampered and grew up, so he didn't have to endure anything in his own home. Before Bai Xiaozhu could answer him, he yelled impatiently: "Father, Dad, why don't you let me marry Yousu? What are you going to do with Big Brother? Big Brother is not worthy of..."

Before Cheng Weishu finished his sentence, Bai Xiaozhu sternly interrupted him: "Weishu, pay attention to your tone of voice! Dad and father are now old, know so many people, have seen so many things, sometimes , Even if two people seem to be good friends in every way, they are not suitable to be partners. Do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" Cheng Weishu's eyes were red with excitement, and Cheng Weizhe almost thought he was going to cry, "I grew up with him, whether it's poetry, poetry, business or housekeeping, the two of us can do everything, why don't we?" fit together?"

This is the first time for Cheng Weizhe to see Cheng Weishu so excited, except for when he was fighting with him when he was young, Cheng Weishu is also a well-known rich man in Danluo, usually with the elegance he thinks, when outsiders are around , has never been angry or blushed.

However, he kept questioning, but he couldn't get half of the softness and accommodation from his father and father. This time, Bai Xiaozhu didn't speak, but Cheng Yao said: "Wei Shu, marriage has been the order of the elders since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker. , but now you want to go your own way and make me and your father suffer?"

Cheng Yao used to play the role of a strict father in front of his sons, but now he speaks softly, but it is rare after all.When Cheng Weishu saw his father like this, he couldn't help but feel sad. He didn't understand why the fathers just didn't like Bai Yousu and wouldn't let them be together. They were so well matched, they were a perfect couple, they were childhood sweethearts, what a fate.

"I don't want to, I don't want to, but you just look at me sad like this?" Cheng Weishu said, and the seven-foot man couldn't help but shed tears, "I have liked him since I was a child, and I have liked him for many years. My partner, all these years I have thought about him and planned for him everywhere, I have been around him since I was a child, if I can't marry him, then what is the meaning of my life? "

After he finished speaking, the scene suddenly became tense.

Cheng Weizhe is really not interested in the affairs of this family, but now that Cheng Weishu is crying, he is a little curious again.

Speaking of the current fourth young master of the Bai family, Bai Yousu, he had a vague impression, probably just a nodding acquaintance, not even familiar, just a little better than a stranger.He didn't understand why Bai Xiaozhu didn't agree to such a good marriage, and he insisted on marrying him with Bai Yousu. Could there be some deeper meaning in it?

Thinking of this, Cheng Weizhe couldn't help thinking hard about what happened these days, trying to find clues to the truth of the matter.

"Wei Shu, you also said that you have been chasing him since you were a child, but have you ever thought about what kind of feelings he has for you?" Seeing his son like this, Bai Xiaozhu couldn't help but cast a strong medicine.

Cheng Weishu was taken aback for a moment, but didn't answer immediately.

He just looked at his father and dad blankly, and whispered after a long time: "He should, and likes me."

No matter how firm and confident he was just now, under the repeated blows of the two elders, he couldn't help but feel a little bit hopeless.In the past 20 years, many bits and pieces of him getting along with him flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern. He recalled carefully and tried hard to distinguish, and found that when he and Bai Yousu were together these years, it was always him. Take the initiative to talk, take the initiative to take him to play around, take the initiative to accompany him to read books and rush for the exam.

However, those tacit understandings that grew up together cannot deceive people, those touching each other and smiling, and the joy of playing together cannot be faked. Cheng Weishu slowly straightened up, his voice became louder and more determined: " He likes me too."

However, it was the helpless eyes of his father and father who answered him.

At the end, Cheng Yao sighed, and he asked seriously: "If he really likes you, has he told you?"

Cheng Weishu shook his head subconsciously, and then realized that his young and gentle face turned pale.

Cheng Yao's words, like a bolt from the blue, hit Cheng Weishu who was still excited.

For a moment, the main room was oppressed like the eve of a storm, no one moved, no one spoke, as if even the sound of breathing was far away from them, and there was no sound in the world anymore.

"Even if he didn't say it, how do you know he doesn't like me?" Cheng Weishu asked as if he was at the end of his strength.

"Because he said it himself, and he can't do it for half a day." However, as his biological father, Bai Xiaozhu gave him such a cold and ruthless answer, "Do you think your eyes and movements over the years can't be seen by your father?" Did you come out? Earlier when your filial piety was over, Dad asked You Su for you, and he told me that he just regarded you as a cousin and had no other intentions."

Cheng Weishu was completely stunned. He felt that his whole body became stiff, and together with that fiery heart, he was buried in the cold deep pool, as if there would never be a day of rebirth.

There were five people sitting in the main room, but everyone had a dull face, no one spoke, no one left.

Cheng Weizhe didn't know what other people were thinking, but he heard many different meanings in this sentence. He began to try his best to recall Bai Yousu, but he never cared about every plant and tree in this family. , even Bai Yousu's facial features seemed to be hazy in the Jiangnan water town, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember it.

It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed that it was just a moment, but Cheng Weishu's mind seemed to be opened suddenly, and those thoughts flooded in like a tide, making him clear in an instant.

"Then, even if it's a relative, I want to be with him." Cheng Weishu bit his lips, and finally said these words tremblingly.

"However, your father and I don't want you to spend your whole life with someone who doesn't love you. Wei Shu, do you know how precious a human life is?" Bai Xiaozhu was finally moved by his son's persistence, and said that he had never loved you since he was a child. Big, the most ruthless sentence for this eldest son.

After hearing this, Cheng Weishu suddenly lowered his head.He felt hurt and sad, in front of his uncle and his most hated brother, his father just threw his heart to the ground so bluntly, and let others trample on him.

He slowly frowned, as if some inexplicable thoughts rushed into his mind.A flash of resentment and ferocity flashed in Cheng Weishu's eyes, but the next moment, when he raised his head, he completely retreated from those thoughts, leaving nothing behind.

"Father, you said you wanted to talk about your marriage with elder brother, did you sue him..."

Seeing that his son seemed to accept what he said before, Bai Xiaozhu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but the next moment his son's question was like a sharp knife, stabbing the softest part of his heart.

If possible, he didn't want his son to face such a thing.

How painful is it when a person's heart is hurt?Even as a father, he also felt uncomfortable and depressed.

However, if you don't make it clear, then Cheng Weishu's good time will be wiped out. It's better to clear everything up early, and when he and Bai Yousu have their own destinations, then the new happiness will replace the previous one. If you can't get what you want and what you can't get, it will become a passing cloud, and maybe you will only come out to laugh at your childishness and innocence when your temples are gray.

Bai Xiaozhu took a deep breath. He glanced at Cheng Weizhe who didn't know what he was thinking, thought for a moment, and said: "He said that he likes your elder brother, and he will become a partner with him."

After the words fell, everyone in the room seemed to be taken away from their emotions, unable to make any expressions.

However, before the others were ready to talk, Cheng Weizhe decisively said, "I refuse."

Bai Xiaozhu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Cheng Weizhe to refuse so simply, he asked: "Yousu is my nephew, smart since childhood, he is a very good boy, Weizhe, don't you think about it?"

Cheng Weizhe raised his eyebrows and looked at Cheng Weishu, who had his head down and said nothing, then at Cheng Yao, who had been expressionless all the time, and finally put his gaze on Bai Xiaozhu, who had a gentle smile: "As you said, you don't want Wei Shu spends his whole life with someone who doesn't love him. I am the same as you, to be honest, I can't even remember what your nephew looks like, why should I think about it?"

When he said this, although he was looking at Bai Xiaozhu, his full attention was on Cheng Weishu.

Sure enough, when he finished speaking, he felt a chill hit him.Cheng Weizhe smiled indifferently, and finally turned his attention to his father Cheng He, and put down the last sentence: "What is it like to spend your whole life with someone you don't love?"

His voice was deep and mellow, and the words he spoke were resounding, and what he saw was his father's erratic expression. His eyes were blank, and he didn't know who he was thinking of.
