The Landlord And His Wife

Liu Xuer went out to look for Shicheng, if she was at home, Xiuxiu would definitely be with her, and Shicheng couldn't say anything.

When I came to Shicheng's house, the maid invited me into the upper room. Shicheng had already greeted her, and when she saw her, she said, "I didn't know the specifics, but I was a little worried."

Liu Xuer hurriedly asked: "What's the look?"

Shi Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, sit down and talk slowly."

Big, although it has fallen, but the family is still there, so we still keep in touch with the big family in Feng County, and it is still a big family."

Liu Xuer nodded: "I know this, it seems that something happened to Miss Song's second brother? Completely fill in the family background?"

Shi Cheng nodded: "Yes! It was her second brother who jumped up and down among the officials in the capital, probably trying to find an errand for him, but inadvertently got involved in several factions in the court. , the matter broke out and the emperor was investigating. In order to get rid of the relationship, her second brother could only manage up and down, and almost asked for the entire family property of the Hanlin Mansion. I asked the shopkeeper of the jewelry store to inquire, and the Hanlin Mansion was indeed exhausted, and several batches were sent out. Jewelry is sold in gold and gemstones at first, but a few batches have been taken out this year, including silver jewelry and some fur clothes.

Liu Xuer sighed: "It has reached this point!"

"Of course! Otherwise, the servants will not be able to support them, they will all be dismissed, and all the children will be sold! It is said," Shicheng said, "The shopkeeper also heard some people who came to the store to buy jewelry The female relatives gossip behind their backs, saying that the eldest young mistress of the Hanlin Mansion is noisy every day, clamoring for reconciliation. But I can't believe it too much, maybe it's made up by these gossip people."

Liu Xuer hurriedly said: "It's this eldest young lady! She actually kicked Miss Song out of the house... What are you talking about! Even if it's so, it's not your daughter-in-law's turn. Sister-in-law, are you going out?"

Shi Cheng smiled: "There is something you don't know yet! Do you know where the eldest young lady is from?"

"Where?"

Shi Cheng smiled lightly: "Songjiang mansion, his father is Jiangnan Weaving, and he is a family friend with the family of the chief minister."

A flash of light flashed in Liu Xuer's mind, and she looked at him and asked: "Isn't it... No, how old is it?"

Shi Cheng nodded: "I can't find out about the inner house, but judging from various signs, the eldest young lady is dissatisfied with Miss Song, there should be a reason..."

Liu Xuer said with disgust: "Why is this, this eldest young lady is really disgusting...what a thing!"

Shi Cheng laughed, although the matter is still unclear, but Liu Xuer has always had a temperament of hatred and hatred, and tends to sympathize with the weak in everything, so naturally the first reaction is to think of the eldest young lady Become a bad guy.

However, Catkins is quick-witted and clear-headed. Even if she is inclined to trust someone, she is never blind. Sure enough, after saying that sentence, he asked Shi Cheng, "How do you feel about this? My second brother... Do you think it's just to help Song Yao, or because you have an idea for Song Yao? If you just want to help, I definitely won't promise my second brother to sacrifice my whole life to be happy, if I meet a girl I like in the future, wouldn't it be a delay?"

Shi Cheng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You should know your second brother better than me."

Liu Xuer tilted her head and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"

Shi Cheng smiled: "Your two brothers are not impulsive when they say it, your elder brother is calm and considerate about everything, and your second brother...how to say, these years in business, I can see it, your second brother was a little clever and smart at the beginning, but after a long time in business, he has begun to develop on the road of being cunning and cunning..."

Liu Xuer sneered, but nodded, the second brother is really very old-fashioned in business, which is completely different from the honesty of the elder brother.

Shi Cheng smiled and said: "Think about it, a cunning and cunning person like your second brother, doesn't he think clearly about everything? This also includes his own affairs. It's too obvious. If your second brother really wants to help Song Yao, there are many ways! But he just thought of a more complicated way... Of course, if your family agrees, it's not complicated at all. Now it's because your mother-in-law is firmly opposed to it. , Song Yao's identity is a bit far from ours, which makes it complicated," explained a sentence, and continued with a smile: "Why did your second brother find such a complicated solution? It must be because he is willing! Song Yao's, and then take advantage of the times when others are in trouble, and push the boat along the river..."

Liu Xuer laughed 'puchi', what Shicheng thought was really similar to what she thought, but she didn't want Shicheng to say that to the second brother, so she pushed him hard, and said angrily: " Stop talking nonsense! My second brother seems to be Song Yao who is conspiring..."

Shicheng was pushed a little farther, and he sat back in a hurry, laughing.

Liu Xuer said: "Then if you say that, there is a drama between the second brother and Song Yao, but we still need to find out whether Song Yao likes the second brother or not, if the second brother is wishful thinking..."

Shi Cheng interrupted before he finished speaking: "Oh! I said you are really a bit of a mother-in-law!"

Liu Xuer was stunned: "What do you say?"

Shi Cheng blurted out this sentence, and thought that she was going to push her again, but she didn't expect her to be so good-natured, and said with a smile: "Even if our relationship is smooth sailing, the people around us, and the past The information is so well-informed, and I have seen a lot of emotional things, right? No one else can help to figure out this kind of thing. You are a little obsessive-compulsive now, for fear that your second brother will suffer, so not only do you have to understand your second brother What do you think, you still have to figure out what Song Yao thinks... But you must know that you can't understand emotional matters! Because they may not understand it themselves! Speaking of your second brother, he may not think as clearly as we do. You know what I just said was a joke."

Liu Xuer pondered and felt that what Shicheng said made sense.

"This is still up to your second brother to handle. Even if Song Yao doesn't like it now, how can he know that he won't like it after living together. In this era, you must both like and love before you get married. Come on, isn't that a bit difficult?"

Liu Xuer bit her lower lip and nodded: "I know what you mean... But now my mother wants me to express my opinion!"

"What's so difficult about that? Just make a statement! You stand on your second brother's side, be firm!" Shicheng patted her on the shoulder to cheer her up.

Liu Xuer laughed and said, "I see... I understand what you mean, I do hope a little too much to be perfect."

Seeing that, Shi Cheng smiled and nodded. Then he said: "There is one more thing, I can arrange it, you can meet this Song Yao."

Liu Xuer was stunned: "Can you arrange it? Do you know the Song family?"

Shi Cheng smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, but there is a chance! I'm thinking about it recently, I want to hold a big event for the jewelry store, gather all the big customers, and have a banquet. ...Because most of the jewelry customers are female relatives, I hope you will come forward to help me socialize. I will arrange everything here. You only need to help me socialize with the customers. It is like a flower meeting, a poetry meeting, of course, I I will take out some of Yingjing's jewelry and display it, and then you can take a look. If you want to be more lively, you can set up a poetry competition or something. If you win, you will get a prize, and the prize will be our jewelry. Of course, you have to say it to everyone. It's not uncommon, it's just for fun... these daughters, I think they're all hypocritical."

Liu Xuer listened funny and nodded: "Yes, this is a good way, you show your new fashionable jewelry, and those who are optimistic will naturally buy it, which is also a publicity."

"That's what I meant." Shicheng smiled: "I just want to make it more elegant."

Liu Xuer nodded and said, "It's a good idea, no matter what, invite Song Yao out and take a look at her character..." After speaking here, she stopped and thought about it. Said: "But it's not good for me to come forward? After all, I'm not married, it's not in line with the rules."

Shi Cheng said blindly: "Don't care about his rules! These big families are very hypocritical, even if they hook up with our businessmen on the surface, they can't do without our backing support. , but when they are together, don't they have to show special contempt for businessmen? Besides, I'm a businessman from the country! Don't worry, on the surface, they won't say anything unpleasant. To flatter and flatter you! As for what we want to say behind our backs, we can’t do without a piece of meat!”

Lu Xuer still hesitated.

Shi Cheng said: "Or, I will bring my mother from Hanzhong Mansion? She came forward to make a statement, so that with you, no one will say anything."

Liu Xuer nodded quickly after hearing this: "Yes, that's the way it is! I haven't gotten married to you, and it's not right for me to be the master of your affairs. Your mother is back. Zhang Luo, I’m running errands and standing by to greet the guests, that’s okay.”

Shicheng nodded: "Okay! That's it! I'll make arrangements as soon as possible!"

"Don't forget, you must invite Song Yao!"

"Don't worry."

The two agreed, and Liu Xuer was relieved for the time being, and went home and waited for Shicheng to arrange.

Here, Shi Cheng also knows that the opposition of his mother-in-law is fierce, and she has even brought Xiuxiu over. This matter may become a family dispute in the Liu family. Of course, he does not want the Liu family to make housework. So make arrangements quickly.

On Shichengniang's side, I heard that Shicheng wants to hold such an elegant banquet, and it is related to his own business. It is not himself who is busy, and the future daughter-in-law will greet the guests, so as to avoid Shichengniang Seeing the disdainful eyes of some young ladies, why not do it? He happily agreed and returned to Fengxian to prepare before the elegant banquet arranged by Shicheng.

However, when Shi Chengniang came back, she brought someone back.

Xing Rongrong.

Nothing else, Shi Chengniang didn't intend to take her, but Xing Rongrong heard that Shicheng was going to hold a banquet in Fengxian County. So he begged his parents to allow him to play with Shi Chengniang.

Because the two families are family friends, there is nothing wrong, so the Xing family parents agreed.
