Chapter 24: The Limit
"Ahh We finally made a good one, why do we have to sell it again, like this. Have we not been busy in vain? Lan Qi looked at him puzzled.
"You'll understand later. Just do it".
"Of course, it has to be sold at a high price in a week, and whoever wants to buy it will be allowed to buy it, and the price will be set at 50 times. Once the other party agrees, sell immediately. Of course, the more people who buy, the better.
Helian Mufeng didn't look at him, threw the backrest behind him on Lan Qi, and then slowly lay down on his own, "I'm going to sleep, don't let people in before tomorrow morning." β
Lan Qi holds the pillow. While thinking about what he said, he touched his head and walked out of the room in confusion.
Helian Yunsheng came to the study of the other garden, and Steward Zhou followed. The study is filled with a collection of books, biographies of various celebrities, and portraits of the ancestors of the Helian family. On the table are the four treasures of the study. The purple pen hung on the pen holder, and the lacquer smoke and ink were like the night. In the upper left corner of the desk, there is a delicate small vase with a lifelike jade-colored white bellflower, which is exceptionally fresh, delicate and good.
Steward Zhou used an inkstone to grind black ink, and Helian Yunsheng skillfully and lightly dipped the black ink with a brush, and wrote "Wind and clouds" on the white paper, four words, rigid and soft, vigorous and powerful.
"Master, good words!" Steward Zhou on the side looked at the words written by Helian Yunsheng and praised with a smile.
"Hmph. You have a poor mouth, you are old, and you are still touted by other children. Is it the first time you've seen my words?" Helian Yunsheng laughed and said jokingly.
"Then how can it be touted, the master's words are getting better and better day by day. It's the truth!"
"Okay, how about a few doctors. β
"Back to the master, several doctors said that the matter of the little master could not be delayed any longer. Yesterday's reaction was also much worse than usual. It is highly poisonous, and in the past ten years, thanks to the unique and precious medicinal materials of the Helian family, it is a poisonous medicine. β
"I don't understand what you're saying. The deadline is approaching, he is my own grandson, how can I not feel distressed. Helian Yunsheng listened to Steward Zhou's words, put down the brush in his hand, looked at the genealogy of the Helian family on the bookshelf, and spoke.
"Then why don't you force them to get married as soon as possible, but let the little master beat around the bush like this... β
"If we do what you say, we don't have any justifiable reason. What happened before was already a tragedy, and if I do it now, it will be tantamount to repeating the mistakes of the past, how can I bear it, another cold family, with my kindness, I can't do it again. And with Feng'er's character, he won't agree, it will only backfire. β
"Master, is it really okay for this little young master to marry a girl from the Leng family? . . β
"No one knows about such a thing, according to the past history and experience, it is worth trying to marry the Leng family. β
Helian Yunsheng said as he picked up the genealogy on the bookshelf and slowly flipped through it. According to the information on the genealogy, there are many direct and collateral descendants of the Helian family, but what is quite strange is that the age of the descendants did not exceed 30 years old and died, only in Helian Yunsheng, here is an exception.
And his son Helian Ze, who is Helian Mufeng's father, also died at the age of 30. On the other hand, the opposite of the collateral descendants is basically the elderly, and even more than 100 years old.
"Little master, you don't have to worry too much, master. Jiren has its own natural appearance. β
"I hope so, by the way, what's going on on the Mo family's side?" Helian Yunsheng closed the genealogy in his hand, looked back at him and asked.
"The people below said that the marriage date of the young master of the Mo family, Mo Zhen, and the eldest daughter of the Murong family, Murong Wan'er, has been set, and it will be on August 8 next year. β
"Hmm. That's fine, Feng'er also has one less competitor. β
"But master, if you transfer this equity directly to the young master, it won't be able to help him, so why should you sell it to the young master of the Mo family for a little money. You don't lack this amount of money," Steward Zhou looked at him with some regret.
"Hmph, if I give the equity directly to Feng'er, then in the eyes of this Leng girl, Feng'er will not become a powerful overlord, it will only backfire. Besides, how difficult is this matter, you didn't read today's newspaper. This stinky boy is simply a different way, but he is just a pity for this Mo family's baby, and he has to be trained. β
Helian Yunsheng picked up the pipe on the side and made of high-quality briar, which was carved with a delicate phoenix pattern on the outside. Steward Zhou watched his skillful steps step forward, took it carefully, and then took out the tobacco in the solid wood box on the side and filled it.
"All right, go down, I'm tired. Helian Mufeng walked to the couch on the side, put down the cigarette pouch in his hand, lay down gently, and said to Steward Zhou.
Steward Zhou answered and retreated out of the room.
Carefully observe the whole Tianyi Garden, like a small palace in ancient times, full of pavilions and pavilions, carved railings and jade masonry, built-in copywriting ancient wooden tables, beds. When you pick up an item, it is very old, valuable, and not something that can be seen casually on the market. I don't know that I thought it was in ancient times, and the families and female dependents inside and outside the courtyard were also a combination of ancient costumes and modern times.
At this moment, the ink house in country D is quiet, the dining table and dining chairs are beige, the surface is slightly carved, with the arc curvature of the armrests and chair legs, it looks elegant and noble, and under the white curly grass curtains, crystal chandeliers, floor lamps, and bottle lilies, the romantic and fresh feeling comes to the face.
"Old lady, the people of the Murong family sent someone to spread the word, saying that this matter is in an uproar, and we must give an explanation to the outside world, otherwise this Miss Wan'er will not be taken seriously in the eyes of outsiders when she enters the door of the Mo family in the future. The person who spoke was Jiang Ma, who thought she was about sixty years old.
"Well, it's understandable that they're doing this, traces, this time it's really a bit too much. If she doesn't come up with any measures, it will indeed be a grievance for Wan'er. Old Madam Wei looked at the newspaper in her hand, and knew who it was when she stepped in from outside the door.
"And... β
"What else" Mrs. Wei put down the newspaper in her hand, picked up the teacup on the side, elegantly picked up the teacup lid and tucked the tea, took a sip, and continued to ask.
"The people of the Helian family are also involved in this matter, and the old slave feels that things are not so simple. β
"Well, the people of the Helian family have always played cards out of common sense, especially the old fox Helian Yunsheng. However, compared to the successive heads of the Helian family, he has lived long enough. β
"By the way, what is the origin of this Leng family, have you found out?"
"Mrs. Hui, the Leng family is a generation since Leng Yan, settled in country A, and founded the Leng Group in city A, although the scale is not too large, but it is still ranked in the entire city A. So..... β
"Just whatγ"
Old Madam Wei listened to her talk tonight, and then asked a little impatiently.
Mother Jiang looked at her, wondering whether to say it or not, and finally took two small steps forward, and whispered in her ear.
"What did you say?!" Old Madam Wei listened to her words, her heart chuckled, and she became a little flustered, and the newspaper in her hand trembled slightly, and said, "This is impossible. No way.. β
"Don't be alarmed, old lady. It's just not certain yet. But the Leng family is by no means as simple as it seems. Mother Jiang looked at her panicked, and then comforted her, she had been following the old lady for forty or fifty years since she was 12 years old, but she had never seen the old lady so panicked.
"Let the people below check," Old Madam Wei listened to her words, eased her emotions, propped one elbow on the table beside her, held her forehead, and spoke.
"Also, send someone to country A tomorrow to find out who is behind the news. Mother Jiang listened to her words, originally wanted to retreat, and then heard her next command.
"Yes, old lady. You mean, this thing is ... β
"Well, as the saying goes: no book is made without coincidence. Everything started too suddenly, someone must have done it on purpose. β
"Yes, the old slave understands. That little young master's side and the Murong family, we want... β
"There's no hurry,
"Yes, ma'am. The old slave retired first. Saying that, Mother Jiang hurriedly retreated.
In the huge ink house, Mrs. Wei walked in the garden, and the wind at night gradually cooled down. The maids who followed behind hurriedly stepped forward and put the cloak in their hands on her. "Old lady, you see that the night is getting late, and the wind is cold and dewy, or you should let the slaves serve you and rest early. One of the maids at the head reminded.
Old Madam Wei did not listen to their advice, but slowly walked towards the pavilion with the support of them. The courtyard is full of delicate small lanterns, which look like fireflies gathering from a distance. The bottom of the pond is also lit up, and even at night, you can still see the fish in the pond clearly while sitting on the low bench in the gazebo.
The maid on the side of the "old lady" took out a pot of fish food from the drawer of the Eight Immortals Table in the pavilion and handed it to her gently.
"Well, I want to be alone for a while, so you guys go down first. Old Madam Wei, with a trembling hand, took the blue and white porcelain pots and bowls in her hand and commanded.
"But old lady, it's getting late, you're alone... β
"It's okay, let's go down. Old Madam Wei spoke again.
Several people did not insist, but exited the pavilion in an orderly manner, and stood in a row at the intersection more than twenty meters away.
"I don't know what's wrong with the old lady today, usually at this time she should be resting... One of the maids whispered.
"Yes, yes," the other chimed in.
The maid at the head heard them whispering behind them, turned around, and walked in front of them.
