170 Marriage failed
After several generations of accumulation, the Yan family has a solid foundation, and a little setback will not shake the foundation.
As the old saying goes, a hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, after more than a month of turmoil, under the control of Yan Mo, except for the pawnshop business that has been affected, the rest of the shops are still open as usual.
What's more, the Yan family has been entrenched in Linshui County for hundreds of years, and the heads of the family have made good connections in the past dynasties, and they have been involved with various forces in the county.
Originally, Liang Zijun just took the opportunity to beat Yan Ji and wanted to uproot the big families who had lived in Linshui County for generations, but he couldn't do it with just a few means, and it was even more reasonable that his family fell into the middle.
It's not that Liang Zijun didn't have the strength to shake the huge Yan family, but that the virtuous wife was in the way, and she was only willing to teach a lesson, because after Yan Mo apologized with a gift, the Liang family stopped Mozi's revenge.
Yan Mo is not a stupid person, he just had a grudge with the Liang family on the front foot, and there was an accident in the shop on the back foot, and it was also the third master of Liang who was the obstruction.
After thinking about it, Yan Mo didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he came to the door with a portable gift to resolve the grievances here.
The Liang family is a kind family, since the other party sincerely apologized, he didn't mention all the things before, and only focused on warning the absurd behavior between the babies, so he said goodbye to Yan Mo who came from afar.
After the misunderstanding was resolved, Yan Mo was angry when he returned home. A good Liu Cheng actually wanted to suppress Yan Ji through the hands of the third master, if it was not confirmed that this had nothing to do with the third master of Liang, the two families would have to form a feud.
The pawnshop business is in decline, and the rivals have recruited most of the customers, and the pawnshops that have been suppressed have no place to stand, so Yan Mo has no choice but to close the Yan Ji pawnshop with his wrist and strive to recover losses in other fields.
Since then, the Duliu Ji pawnshop in Linshui County has become bigger, and Liu Cheng has forced his rival to close his doors, and he is very proud. Don't forget, Yan Ji pawnshop is the foundation of the Yan family's fortune, and if the old store is lost, no matter how prosperous the business of the shop next to it is, it cannot be compared with the old store operated by the past generations.
Liu Cheng was in high spirits in the business field, and he invited people to feast on guests, and the scenery was unlimited for a while. As a nephew, Shao Zhikun also attended his uncle's banquet.
talked about marriage during the banquet, Liu Cheng was drunk and promised that he would persuade his sister and brother-in-law to agree to this marriage.
Not to mention that this time he used the name of the third master to overwhelm the opponent, just because Liang Zijun and King Jing were friends, he should seek this family business for his nephew.
Although the Shao family is a wealthy family in the provincial capital, it is not ranked among the famous families, if they can climb to King Jing through this in-law, the days of soaring prosperity are just around the corner.
Jingzhou is really the fief of King Jing, as long as he borrows the east wind a little, I am afraid that he will not be able to join the family? When my brother-in-law's family gets ahead in the future, not to mention helping out, I should also lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade.
This time, under the pretense of local ruffians and hooligans, Yan Ji pawnshop was forced into a desperate situation, although it was a temporary profit, but if it wants to be stable and big in the future, it still needs to rely on the network power. Although the power of the wife's mother's family is not small, it is still not as powerful as the Yan family.
Liu Cheng's brain was lively, and after a while, he figured out the crux of the problem, and affectionately hugged his nephew's shoulder and laughed.
He has only been here in Linshui County for 20 years, although he has saved some family funds, but he wants to fight against the local snake that has taken root here for generations, and he is still a little lacking in confidence, especially after calculating Liang Zijun, he is afraid that it will be too big, but as long as his nephew can be the son-in-law of the Liang family, can this family still be difficult for his own family?
Shao Zhikun got his uncle's assurance, and he was full of joy to return to Qingping County and wait for the letter, and within ten days, he saw his father and mother looking for him, accompanied by his uncle and aunt.
Liu Cheng set off for the provincial capital, and after some conversation, he persuaded his brother-in-law's family that he had come to prepare a dowry this time, thinking that the Liang family was just a small landlord, even if Liang Sanye was gaining momentum, he would never refuse this good family business.
As a result, although the Liang family did not refuse on the spot, they also said that the two families did not match, and it was not good to climb the Shao family.
Shao Zhikun failed to marry several times, and he was disheartened and inevitably had to borrow wine to drown his sorrows, and Daddy still had business to take care of, so he returned to the city with his mother after not staying for two days.
Liu Cheng saw that his nephew didn't think about tea and dinner, and drank all day long, afraid that he would hurt his body, so he comforted, "Zhikun must not be so depressed for a woman, and wait for his uncle to plan it, I am not afraid that the Liang family will not agree to this family business!"
"Uncle, can you think of any good countermeasures? Although I am happy with her, it is not easy to marry by force, if I am unwilling, it is not a good thing......" Shao Zhikun's spirit was shocked, and he took his uncle's hand and said bluntly.
"Huh...... Uncle, you can rest assured, just wait for your daughter-in-law to come to the door, and you don't have to worry about other things" Liu Cheng's eyes flashed a trace of calculation, and patted his nephew's hand to reassure, "If you can study with peace of mind and get the title of the gold list, are you afraid that the Liang family will not become inflammatory?" Hmph~ The daughter of a landlord's family dares to hold it up like this, and it doesn't make people laugh at their poor and short-minded!"
A trace of hesitation flashed on Shao Zhikun's face, although he didn't like his uncle's words, he still thought about Liang Duoduo in his heart. At this time, there was no one to discuss, so he had to pin his hope on his uncle, "Zhikun will definitely remember his uncle's teachings, and I hope that my uncle can bother more about this lifelong event."
"And wait for the letter with peace of mind!" Liu Cheng boasted of his assurance, and then brushed his sleeves back to Linshui County.
Shao Zhikun stayed at his grandfather's house and had nothing to do, so he had to concentrate on studying, while inquiring about the news, while waiting for his uncle's good news.
After more than a month of renovation, the ancestral house of the Liang family finally returned to its original appearance, and the whole family happily moved back to their hometown.
"It's still comfortable to live in your own house," Song sighed, touching the brand new furniture and sighed.
"That is, in the future, I will change to a better house, and I don't want to move out," Zhao seconded.
"Hahaha...... This time, thanks to Zijun and Zixian, it seems that the old man will not need to worry about family affairs in the future," Liang Baida laughed loudly.
"It's just a little silver, it's still the eldest brother's hard work," Liang Zijunqian conceded.
"You brothers work together, you don't have to push, as long as our family can be harmonious, it doesn't matter whose credit is it" Song swept over the juniors, and picked it up with a smile to check the "new family".
The whole family got together for a reunion dinner, and after the meal, they discussed a lot of marriages.
The reason why the Shao family refused to propose marriage was because he was afraid of marrying more and being bullied. Since ancient times, daughters have been married more, and if they are high, they must look at the face of their in-laws. Especially that the Shao family is a provincial city, and the road is far away, if the girl is wronged, she doesn't even have a person to talk to, let alone be protected by her mother's family, and hide back to ask her mother's family for support.
Shao Fengzhi only has such a daughter, he is very pitiful, and he is reluctant to let his daughter suffer a little grievance, even if the Shao family is good, he is afraid that his daughter will marry unsatisfactory.
After all, there are many high-ranking families, and Duoduo is a city without a city, and I don't know what is going on if I am bullied. Although Shao Zhikun is a talent, he knows that people know their faces but don't know their hearts, and it is difficult to keep the freshness and marry a side room to come back to be greedy.
If it weren't for that, the Liang family would not categorically refuse this great family business.
Liang Duoduo also has a good impression of Shao Zhikun, but she is far less worried than the elders, but fortunately, she plays hard, and before the beginning of her love, she listens to what the elders say, and still learns some housework at home.
Chen Qing also asked too many questions in private, but the little girl just avoided answering shyly, but she didn't necessarily agree.
Knowing that Duoduo did not like Shao Zhikun, the whole family secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and seized the time to drag the matchmaker to find out the reliable family, and never pushed the girl to the in-laws of the forces that tended to be inflammatory.
In the past, Liang Zixin's mother-in-law's family tended to be auspicious and avoided trouble, and then there was Liang Meng's experience in the past, the Liang family really learned a lesson this time, no matter what the family's wealth was, they could never choose a person who would like to see profit for their daughter.
Liang Meng has gone through family changes, and his heart has experienced a lot, and this time he has lived in his parents' house for so long, and he is a little more calm than in the past, and he looks more like a big girl.
After this experience, the young couple has changed a lot, and they have better understood the truth of family and prosperity. Although I envy the harmony of the Liang family, I can't live here forever after all, even if my mother-in-law's family sees the money again, but I can marry all of them, and now there is no reason to live in my mother's house and not leave.
Liang Zizhuang loaded a cart of grain for the little couple, and watched his son-in-law go out in silence.
Liu Hongmei held her daughter and instructed her again and again, and finally went out easily, and cried and explained to her son-in-law, "Don't protect your dreams, your father-in-law and I only have such a daughter......"
"Mother-in-law rest assured...... The son-in-law is desperate to go out of the house, and he will not let Meng'er follow me and be wronged again," the young man Langjun assured with shame on his face.
"It's good if you have this heart, as the saying goes, marry a chicken and marry a dog, although I hope that you two are good, but if the family is not peaceful, there is no need to be wronged, our Liang family is not bad for the son-in-law to eat" Liang Zizhuang said in a deep voice.
With the words of the father-in-law, the young couple glanced at each other, and their hearts dragged out.
Grandpa brought them back this time, and he had already torn his face with his mother-in-law's family, and if he still couldn't understand if he went back this time, he was afraid that he would really have to go back to his parents' house to spend his life.
"I'm afraid of those old things, if this cart of food can't be exchanged, go home and live. Let Zijun make a living for you in the county, and with your uncle taking care of you, are you afraid that you won't be able to live a good life?" Liu Hongmei felt sorry for her daughter, and listened to the husband and wife at night with her son-in-law early.
"I know, A-Niang" Liang Meng wiped away the tears on his face and tried his best to show a smile.
Even if her husband is willing to come back with her, she is afraid that she will break her husband's face.
Relying on the help of the mother's family to say that it sounds good is not capable, and if it is ugly, it is to eat soft rice, no matter which dynasty and which generation is the most shameful manifestation of incompetence. Even if they get the guarantee of their parents, the little couple can't pull their faces and rely on the support of their parents.
"Let's go......" Liang Zizhuang waved his hand, bid farewell to a young couple, and only accused his daughter-in-law when they were far away, "What are you talking about?" I see that he is also a face-saving person, I am afraid that as soon as your words come out, he will not accept our help......
“…… Aren't I afraid that the two of them will go home and be wronged, so it's good to leave a way out, that kid is his own baby after all, if you are angry with Mengmeng, how ruthless am I to be a mother and ignore it?" Liu Hongmei bit her lower lip and muttered, in the end, it is the woman's heart, and after a while, she pulled her husband and asked what to do.
"Don't worry, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, that kid is not like a bag, Mengmeng will not be wronged if he follows him" Liang Zizhuang patted his daughter-in-law on the back and took the person back to the house.
"I hope so......" Liu Hongmei sniffed, secretly praying that Mengmeng would not be troubled by her in-laws when she went back this time.
As soon as Liang Meng left, the attention of the whole family focused on Liang Duoduo's marriage, and Liang Zijun also privately asked someone to see if there were any good sons who had not yet married in the neighborhood.
Now that Liang Duoduo has reached the marriageable age, and the good family has already been engaged, it is not easy to find someone with good character and appearance, and even Shao Fengzhi secretly blamed himself for missing his daughter's lifelong event.
Chen Qing checked the cloth shop business this day, and then went to the old house to visit his sister-in-law and sister-in-law.
The two of them left home for the New Year in the county for a year, and it was purely against their hearts to say that they didn't care about their hometown. Seeing that spring ploughing is about to take place, there is also a lot of farm work to be done at home, not only should I polish farm tools, but I also have to prepare in advance for hoarding fertilizer.
Wan Zhuoping just went back to Wanliutun a few days ago, and he couldn't sit still after staying for two days. Seeing Chen Qing coming, he first talked about returning home, but Chen Qing didn't stop him, but only said that he would come back again at the beginning of spring, so that he could bring some seeds home and sow seeds.
Wan Zhuo responded with a smile, "There are still seeds of spring ploughing left at home, if it is not enough, I will definitely come to my brother-in-law to ask for it."
Chen Bijiao smiled and screwed him, "It's not out of sight now"
"Hehe...... Wan Zhuoping only smiled, scratched his head and responded, "No more"
Chen Qing saw that the relationship between the two of them was very good, so he didn't do much to keep them, brought them some food, and drove a car to give them a ride.
When I returned to the county seat, as soon as I stepped into the cloth workshop, I saw Liu Bo take the lead in throwing the abacus and dragging people into the room to discuss, "But when I came back, I just heard the rumors in the market and was in a hurry, if I didn't know that you were going back, I had to take leave to go to your house to find you!"
"What's the matter, Uncle Liu, you speak slowly......" Chen Qing stabilized his mind and calmed Liu Hengshan, who was in a hurry to fight himself. It's really been a lot of troubles lately, and no amount of bad news can frighten him.
Listening to Liu Bo's words, Chen Qing couldn't help frowning secretly, how could he leak the news in a dignified manner?
If he hadn't been assured early in the morning, he would have been sure that this matter was not spread by Yan Mo, and Chen Qing would have to let Liang Zijun kill the Yan family to pay off his innocence.
The bad guy has such a lack of morality, who else can know except for his own family and Yan Mo's father and son?
It is rumored that Liang Sanye's niece and the young master of the Yanji pawnshop in Linxian County made a private agreement for life, not only met privately on the night of the Lantern Festival, but also carried the elders to the door to propose marriage, but the result was that she failed to marry, but was driven out of the door by the Liang family......
Later, someone testified that he had seen two babies entangled in front of the tea shop, and the young master Yan Ji kept saying that it was necessary to marry Liang Sanye's niece.
I don't know if it's the secret knot of the pearl fetus, which caused the little young master to dare to do something to a woman from a good family in broad daylight, if it weren't for Liu Cheng's nephew to stop him, he wouldn't dare to kidnap people to complete the marriage.
This matter is full of turmoil in the city, but if a woman from a good family elopes with someone, it doesn't matter which side is at fault, most of the people who suffer are women. Otherwise, there would not be many restrictions on women in the world, not only would the woman be spit on and abused, but also the woman's family would be detained as an infamous person who had no way to discipline her.
Therefore, if anyone goes out of the house that does not abide by women's morals, their doors are like dung pits, and everyone avoids them, and even if they can't avoid them, they have to spit to show their disdain.
Chen Qing knew the seriousness of the matter, and hurried home when he was inquired clearly.
Even if Yan Mo holds a grudge, he can't afford to splash dirty water with his own family, but if it wasn't for Yan Mo's doing, who would be eyeing the Liang family?
