Chapter 608: Exploitation
Li Qianqian and the others lived in Zhang's Mansion, and the current Xuanji Pavilion advocated Chaosheng while preparing tools and was busy communicating with Li Qianqian.
Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli were taken by Mrs. Zhang's Gao, and attended various banquets in Peach Blossom City with Miss Gao Jianle and her eldest sister-in-law Gao Jianxi's wife Huang.
Gao Jianle has been engaged, but for various reasons, she is now twenty-three years old and has not yet married.
However, from the first day of meeting, Mrs. Zhang's words can probably get a glimpse of the truth, not to mention why Zhang Jianle is unwilling to marry, it is rare for the man to let her delay the marriage period so generously, or is there something boring?
Otherwise, why would Zhang Jianle refuse to marry? The Zhang family also insisted that she would not marry?
Well, there's definitely a story here.
Because the matter of cracking the arsenal cannot be delayed, after the master of Zhang Ge explained the matter, he hurriedly set off for Dongqi with people.
Li Qianqian also ordered Liu Yi to send a letter to Liu Er, asking him to help arrange the food and lodging and other miscellaneous matters of Zhang Ge Master and his party, so as to let them have no distractions and arrive in Eastern Qi as soon as possible.
He also ordered Liu Er to send a letter to Dongqi, and when he gave Li Shu and Li Jing respectively, he naturally informed him that he had an old friend who went to Dongqi, and this old friend was the master of Xuanji Pavilion who they were looking for to break the head before, and when he gave Li Jing, he was to inform him that he had found the person who had cracked the mechanism, and asked them to prepare all the matters after cracking the mechanism.
Seeing this, Pavilion Master Zhang was quite emotional, seeing that Li Shu accepted such a little child as an apprentice, he was still a girl, so that as an old friend, he couldn't help but be a little worried about him, and he might take on the burden of the Ruiyao Sect in the future? Although Li Shu passed on the position of sect leader to her early on, in the end he was still hidden behind the scenes and guided everything.
If Li Shuzhen let go that day, Li Qianqian can bear it?
If you can't bear it, won't such a big foundation be cheaper for those who have a heart?
But this will see that Li Qianqian handles things in an orderly manner, even more calm than his son, so that in addition to being happy for his old friends, he is also a little worried about his own son, a little girl can do better than him, he has already become a family and a father, and he is still a little frizzy in doing things, why don't you worry about calling him a father?
Li Qianqian didn't know what he was thinking, but just told things as usual.
Liu Yi noticed the abnormality of the Pavilion Master Zhang, but he was not familiar with the Pavilion Master Zhang, and he didn't know what was going on with him, so he only glanced at him, and then took the order to do something, because Liu Er was not there, and he was not as old as Liu Er, so many things needed to be run in with Li Qianqian, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, but fortunately, Li Qianqian also knew this, so he sent Chunjiang to give him a lot of help.
Along the way, until now, I have finally seen the results.
Now as long as Li Qianqian orders it, he can do things well without asking too much.
After talking to the matter on the side of the Pavilion Master Zhang, Li Qianqian said goodbye and left, and returned to the guest room arranged by Mrs. Zhang for them, only to see Chunshou busy in the house, but there was no Lan Tang and the others.
"Sister Tang, what about them?"
Hearing Li Qianqian's voice, Chunshou, who was busy ironing clothes, was stunned, put away the iron, and then turned his head. "Sect Master, you're back?"
"Hmm. Sister Tang, are they not there?" "Didn't I hear them say yesterday that they were going out today?"
Li Qianqian sat down and took the tea poured by Chunjiang, took a sip and looked at Chunshou, waiting for her to answer.
"It's Miss Zhang's mother-in-law's house. Chunshou pursed her lips a little unpleasantly, Chunjiang frowned and glared at her, and she put away her unhappy look.
"What's going on?"
"Miss Zhang's mother-in-law sent a housekeeper and a matchmaker, saying that it was a marriage date, but that attitude was really ......" Chunshou couldn't help but complain, and it could be seen why she was stayed.
Li Qianqian glanced at her, and suddenly asked, "You can't have followed to see it and been driven back, right?"
"No, I stayed to iron clothes, but when I heard Yang Liu come back and say that the Cheng family was weird, I followed her to see it, and after reading it, I ...... I couldn't take it anymore, so I came back first. "Otherwise, she would have ironed these clothes.
Chunjiang stroked her forehead, she felt that Chunshou didn't say it clearly, there must be a problem, but Li Qianqian asked, "So you came back by yourself?"
"Yes! If I look at it any longer, I'm going to be. "Miss Zhang is the fiancée of the eldest young master of the Cheng family, but the mother-in-law who came to talk about the marriage period has a domineering attitude towards Miss Zhang.
However, Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter were very respectful to the mother-in-law, which made Chunshou, who was by Li Qianqian's side and had never been angry, vomit blood when she saw it, and almost wanted to jump out to repair the mother-in-law, but Yang Liu tried her best to stop her, and told her that if she really couldn't stand it, it was better not to look down, let her come back to do things, and what follow-up developments would be there, and wait for them to come back and tell her.
Li Qianqian nodded, Chunshou has finally made a little progress recently, knowing that he can't stand it, he didn't hold on to it and refused to go, but left with persuasion, Yang Liu knew Chunshou's temper very well, and it was really powerful to stop her before she broke out, you must know that Yang Liu is shallower than Chunshou, and he is young, but it is not easy to persuade Chunshou like Mother Ye and Chunjiang.
"Where's Qi'er?"
She went to find out. Chunshou replied while packing up her things, "Yunzhu said that although the attitude of the Cheng family's mother-in-law was strange, the attitude of Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter was even stranger, so she asked Qi'er to go to the Cheng family's subordinates to find out. ”
Li Qianqian nodded, and had no opinion on Yunzhu's assignment work, Chunshou saw that her face was as usual, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because Chunjiang often followed Li Qianqian out, and when they encountered something, they would ask Yunzhu for advice, after all, Yunzhu and Chunjiang were both calmer than the rest of them, Chunjiang was the most calm, and Yunzhu was second, so Chunjiang was not there, so they would look for Yunzhu.
But that doesn't mean that Li Qianqian, as the master, is happy to see that Yunzhu, who is a Lantang maid, crossed the line and took care of her maid.
Chunshou forgot, strictly speaking, Yunzhu is still Li Qianqian's person, because she is also from a pigeon guard, but she was assigned to wait for Lan Tang.
And because Li Qianqian and Lan Tang have a deep sisterhood, Li Qianqian has no opinion on Yunzhu's actions.
But the size still has to be taken care of, Li Qianqian glanced at Chunjiang, and Chunjiang immediately nodded knowingly, this matter is not for Li Qianqian to come forward himself, just Chunjiang and Yunzhu just talk.
"What about Qing'er?" Chunjiang asked, "Yunzhu said that the Zhang family also had to check it, so he called Qing'er to go." ”
Qing'er has been getting along well with the Zhang family's maid and wife these days, and arranged for her to investigate, and Yunzhu was also well arranged, which shows that Yunzhu is not just gossiping with Lan Tang, she still has her observation.
Chunjiang asked Chun Shoucheng's family when it would arrive, and after knowing the time, she frowned and said to Li Qianqian, "They chose this time to arrive, are they planning to eat in Zhang's Mansion?" Otherwise, how could it be close to noon?
"Let's see. Li Qianqian patted the back of Chunjiang's hand, and then heard the movement of Lan Tang and the others coming back.
"How did you come back?"
It's time to eat, but Mrs. Zhang didn't leave them to eat today?
"Don't say it, Mrs. Zhang probably saw that we were about to be full of the Cheng family's mother-in-law, so she was merciful and let us go. Lan Tang sighed and said, plunging into the Arhat chair beside Li Qianqian.
"What the hell is going on?" Li Qianqian asked hurriedly looking at her decadent face.
Zhang Duoli and Lan Tang squeezed into an Arhat chair, leaned on the back of the chair, and sighed, "That mother-in-law is squeezing me and Sister Tang in and out of words, and when she comes, she asks us how old we are, but there is a marriage match, after knowing that we are old and not married, they began to speak sourly, let us go home as soon as possible, don't take his quasi-young grandmother." ”
"He also said that although the conditions of the eldest young master of his family are good, he will not take a fancy to us. Lan Tang took several deep breaths before relieving himself, "I didn't understand what she meant, and then I saw that Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter's faces were not very good-looking, and then I realized that the mother-in-law thought that the two of us were the concubines that Mrs. Zhang found for Miss Zhang." ”
Uh, this ...... Li Qianqian looked at Zhang Duoli's face, and then looked at Lan Tang, she could understand why the Cheng family's mother-in-law thought so, uh-huh, Zhang Duoli's appearance is really, too beautiful! This description should be correct, right? And Lan Tang, she was born well, and she also grew up, although she is not as bewitching as Zhang Duoli, but she is also a great beauty.
is not young, there is no marriage match, and when he came to Zhang's Mansion at this time, it is no wonder that the mother-in-law of the Cheng family thinks too much.
Mrs. Zhang was very angry at the Cheng family's mother-in-law's random speculation, Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli were both friends who followed Li Qianqian, looking at their intimate appearance, you can know that Li Qianqian values them very much, and the Cheng family's mother-in-law actually regarded them as the concubines of her eldest young master?
It's so insulting!
The mother-in-law sent by the Cheng family is the grandmother next to Mrs. Cheng, and she is quite useful.
The daughter's family affair was ordered by the old lady of the Cheng family and the old lady of the Zhang family, and now that the two old men are dead, the family affair left behind is really embarrassing.
Cheng Yunlin is already twenty-five, he is three years older than Zhang Jianle, when Mrs. Cheng passed away, he was fifteen years old, and the Cheng family intended to marry within filial piety, but Mrs. Zhang was unwilling, how could the lifelong event of his precious granddaughter be so casual?
The Zhang family did not want to marry during the filial piety period, the Cheng family was unhappy, and finally waited until the Cheng family was filial, and the old lady Zhang passed away, half a year later, the old lady Zhang went with her wife, and when the Zhang family was filial, the Cheng family was notified to discuss the marriage date, and the Cheng family had a dispensable attitude.
Zhang Jianle is a tough person, and she also knows that Cheng Yunlin has long had a crush on him, but because this family affair was contracted by the two when the family was still there, it was difficult for the Cheng family to propose to dissolve the marriage contract, and the Cheng family did not want to give up the Zhang family, after all, the Zhang family was so rich.
In this regard, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng both complained about the Zhang family's concealment of their worth, if it weren't for Cheng Yunlin's good eyesight, he saw that the ornaments in Mr. Zhang's study were worth a lot, and he was afraid that he would be kept in the dark by the Zhang family.
Cheng Yunlin's external performance seems to be generous and tolerant of his fiancée, tolerating her willfulness in every way, and at the same time letting people spread rumors that Zhang Jianle is arrogant and willful.
Usually this kind of rumor, the last person to know about it is probably the person concerned or the family of the person, because people who have a good relationship with the person concerned can't bear to spread these rumors in front of them, and people who have a bad relationship with them wait for the situation to be serious to mock them in person, so they will not tell them early.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang is completely unaware of her daughter's reputation abroad, and she is not aware of the defamation of others, and the father and son of Zhang Ge do not know, although Zhang's sister-in-law's family knows this, but considering that she is pregnant with Liujia, she is afraid that after she knows, she will be moved by fetal gas, after all, their sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a very good relationship.
And Zhang Jianle is probably the only person in the Zhang family who knew the inside story as soon as the rumors spread.
Outsiders don't know, but Zhang Jianle is actually the person in charge of the information part of the Yuelao Temple, otherwise how could the masters of the Yuelao Temple have no last resort? Naturally, there are a group of helpers to help inquire about the news.
Cheng Yunlin wanted to spread false rumors to slander Zhang Jianle, and what he found was the beggar head under the wall, no one knew that this beggar head was actually Zhang Jianle's subordinate.
Therefore, Zhang Jianle was very resistant to this family business from the beginning, because she knew what kind of dirty face Cheng Yunlin had under his gentle face.
Cheng Yunlin acted very well, so that the old lady of the Cheng family and Mrs. Cheng were very dissatisfied with Zhang Jianle, believing that she deliberately delayed the marriage period and refused to marry honestly.
For the Cheng family, from the beginning of the opposition for the sake of opposition, to the sake of the Zhang family's wealth, reluctantly, and then to the Zhang family's golden hen mother who refused to marry honestly, so that they could control her dowry, this kind of turn of events is because it is profitable, once the Zhang family is unwilling to be honestly controlled, the two generations of the Cheng family's housewife will inevitably sprinkle anger on Zhang Jianle's body.
The grandmother next to Mrs. Cheng was ordered to give Zhang Jianle a face.
Why did you choose to come at this time? Naturally, Mrs. Zhang's mother and daughter have frequently appeared in the social circle with Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli these days.
Mrs. Zhang took her daughter and two young and beautiful girls to interact with people on these social occasions all day long, which couldn't help but make the Cheng family nervous.
With this preconceived idea, it is no wonder that the mother-in-law sent by Mrs. Cheng will think crookedly.
Mrs. Zhang is well-intentioned, and when Li Qianqian and Zhang Ge were busy with business, she was responsible for entertaining Lan Tang and them, who would have known that the Cheng family would want to be crooked when they found out?
While they were talking, Qi'er and Yang Liu also came back, and it was Zhang Jianle who followed them in.
As soon as he entered the door, he took Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli's hands with an apologetic face and apologized.
Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli waved their hands again and again, it was not her fault that the straight way was not her fault, Li Qianqian sat on the side, and said coldly, "Sister Zhang, don't be in a hurry to apologize first, let's tell me what you plan first, right?"
Zhang Jianle turned his head to look at her with a wry smile, "I just want to be sure I can't hide it from you." ”
"Sister Zhang grew up in Peach Blossom City since she was a child, and she must know the Cheng family very well. ”
"Yes. Zhang Jianle smiled bitterly and said, "For the Cheng family, it doesn't matter if I am not happy with my husband, anyway, after entering the door, Cheng Yunlin is not satisfied with me, he can still accept the woman he likes as a concubine, or even more ruthlessly, it is not a problem to marry a wife and concubine." Moreover, his Cheng family is still a trustworthy gentleman! ”
Zhang Jianle doesn't care about fame, she only cares about this family business.
But because it was her grandfather who made the decision, her parents were definitely not happy to leave the family.
It's just that she knows that Cheng Yunlin is such a villain, and she still wants to wronged herself to marry him?
Li Qianqian's arrival just made her, who was thinking about the law of dissolving the marriage contract, see a ray of light, and she let the news that she and her mother, Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli had entered and exited the social circle, and sure enough, the Cheng family was anxious.
She is looking for a way out of her marriage, and she has no choice but to do it, but for Li Qianqian, she will never allow people to use Lantang like this.
"I know you have to do it, but you shouldn't take advantage of them. ”
"Yes, it's my fault, I shouldn't have dragged them into the water. Zhang Jianle reddened his eyes and apologized to Li Qianqian.
Li Qian made a shallow face, "The object of your apology should not be me, but the two of them." ”
Lan Tang and Zhang Duoli were both stunned, and looked at Zhang Jianle for a long time before they reacted, it turned out that the mother-in-law of the Cheng family would want to be crooked, and Zhang Jianle's handwriting was in it.
Although I sympathize with her, I don't think I need to care too much, after all, the two of them are just passers-by in Peach Blossom City, and they will leave in a few days, and the damage they have received is just a few sour words from an insignificant subordinate, but seeing that Li Qianqian is seriously angry for them, they look at each other and smile, don't pull Li Qianqian's hind legs at this time, let her lose her temper!
Lest the Zhang family think that if they asked the Zhang Pavilion Master to crack the mechanism, the Zhang family would be able to use the two of them at will.
