Chapter 420: Wealth Touches People's Hearts
This person didn't have an appetite, so he asked Luo Gongzi and his wife to dismiss them, leaving only three people in the room, and talked about what Mrs. Sheng did taking into account the overall situation, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and told them clearly.
Luo Gongzi and Mrs. Zheng were dumbfounded when they heard this, and they couldn't believe their ears: "The old lady of the Sheng Sheng Sheng family is actually such a person?!"
In fact, they haven't heard of Old Lady Sheng's temperament, after all, the old lady's move of giving up the rich son's privileged life and taking the initiative to join the army to fight against Ru Ru was very famous, and even heard from heaven.
The world is almost all applauded by this.
Including the current queen mother and other nobles, whether they like him or not, at least in the point of "protecting the family and defending the country", they all recognize the sincerity of this person.
It's just that the Luo couple never dreamed that the old lady Sheng would be so righteous as to take the granddaughter of his own granddaughter and the grandson-in-law of the royal children, and the old lady who was also one of the three families of Nanfeng County Xuan Yu as bait, just to give Ruru a cruel blow!
“…… If you do this, you can exterminate Ruru in one fell swoop, and you can also say that the old lady has the world in mind and sacrifices her relatives. But at that time, King Gaomi and the Meng clan were still evenly matched, even with this big victory, the two sides still needed time to entangle for power and profit, so if it dragged on and on, it would be impossible to give Ruru a chance to recover, right?" Luo Gongzi asked incredulously, "Old lady Sheng...... What the hell did he think?"
Is it just for a big win?
Does this person like to win battles, or is he loyal to his country?
Luo Gongzi really felt confused!
The person who came said with a smile: "So the old master of my family said in private, although the old lady Sheng was famous in the frontier earlier, and there were not a few meritorious contributions, it was General Zhou who was in charge of the army at that time, and he was the least able to bury talents, but he was never promoted, and even when he returned to the field, he was not mixed with a deputy general...... Not for nothing. ”
"Old lady Sheng's loyalty to his family and country, as well as his determination to protect his family and defend the country, there is absolutely nothing to say!"
"The question is, although this person is very much in favor of taking care of the overall situation, does this look at the overall situation...... It's not going to be good!"
"Clear-eyed people know that in our current situation, we have no time to take care of ourselves, where do we have the strength to take care of the grassland?"
"The Meng family is a relative, this kind of family is ambitious, and it has never been a good thing!"
"As for King Gaomi, if he is a candidate for the prince that the first emperor is satisfied with, will he still be on the throne back then?"
"Only the king of Mizhen County, the youngest son of the king of Gaomi, in the case of no heir today, he is the heir, which is not only justifiable, but also matches the talent, it is the king of the heavens, and he wants to prosper my Damu!"
"So we only need to assist the king of Mizhen County, wait for the king of the county to come to the world, sweep away the depression of the court, prosper the country, and finally destroy Ruru in one fell swoop, sacrifice the Taimiao, and fulfill the last wishes of the emperors...... This is the best way to get rid of it and never suffer in the future!"
"Like Mrs. Sheng, who only accounts for temporary gains and losses, to say something disrespectful, is really a mouse's eye!"
This person's remarks were obviously carefully prepared in advance, and although Young Master Luo and Mrs. Zheng knew that he was talking this to belittle Old Lady Sheng, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.
"And this old lady did things very well at that time: not only persuaded the princess of Mizhen County and his party to continue to stay in the western frontier and not leave early, but even intercepted the letter from the eldest lord of the Sheng family asking the princess of the county and others to quickly retreat to a safe place!"
"I also contacted King Gaomi and others, and did not hesitate to come up with many conditions that sacrificed the interests of the county king and the princess of the county, in exchange for King Gaomi's promise that General Huaihua would set up an ambush to snipe Ruru at that time......"
Speaking of this, not only did people sneer, but the corners of Luo's mouth twitched: "This old lady Sheng...... Is it really Sheng Xinzhang's father?!"
Sheng Lan quits business so well, why did her father become like this?
If the Luos were to do this, they wouldn't say that it would be low-minded!
After all, this is a matter of giving credit to King Gaomi, giving results and benefits, and any qualified businessman knows that it is right to let King Gaomi beg for himself!
Luo's heart was in a mess, resisted the urge to vomit blood, and asked the visitor: "I don't know who the old master of your family is......?"
That's what I asked, I guessed it!
Sure enough, he came: "The old master of my family is walking with Mrs. Sheng at this time, and he is on his way back." Now the old lady is in charge of the house, the old lady has admired Jiangnan Luo's for a long time, I heard that your family came to discuss the marriage, for fear that your family will not know it, and the bamboo basket will be empty, causing regrets, so I sent a small one to inform. ”
Luo's couple glanced at each other, and Mrs. Zheng's mind was racing, and she deliberately tried to say: "The name of old lady Zhan's kindness, although we are in Jiangnan, we have also heard of it! Thank you for tonight's words, thank you old lady!"
"I heard that the old lady has many children and grandchildren, and she enjoys the joy of family life all day long, which is really enviable!"
The person who came smiled faintly and said: "If you want to talk about the affairs of the children and grandchildren, the old lady has a regret in her life, that is, although she has many grandchildren, she is also dignified and dignified, and her temperament is also gentle and elegant, and there is no young lady in her life, so that the old lady loves her all day long! And the old lady is old, and it is difficult to leave her homeland, but it is not good to leave with the princess of the county. ”
"During these days, every time she thinks of separating from the princess of the county in the future, the old lady can't help but cry like rain, and says that if she can have a granddaughter under her knees, she is really willing!"
"The eldest lady persuaded the second lady, saying that although granddaughters are rare, all the sons have grown up, and they can choose everyone to be their wives, and they will be like granddaughters!"
"However, although the old lady has a loving heart, what kind of person is the princess of Mizhen County, who was treated as a granddaughter before, and the court enshrined the lord of Kangzhao County?"
"If you are waiting for the idle ladies to be beautiful, you will treat them as granddaughters-in-law, and you can pay it back!"
"If you want to be a granddaughter, you can compare with the princess of Mizhen County, but you can teach the old lady how to empathize, right?"
Speaking of this, the conversation changed, "In the end, Nanfeng County is located in a remote area, where can the so-called local ladies compare to Zhong Lingyuxiu, the daughter of the Luo clan of the Jiangnan people?"
This was said very frankly, and the faces of the Luo couple changed, and they said after a while: "Show the love of the old lady, our husband and wife understand it! It's just that the matter is big, and we have to return to the clan, and wait for the head of the family and the elders to decide!"
The person who came didn't bother, nodded and said, "There are two people with words!" As he spoke, he took out two silver tickets from his sleeves, put them on the table, nodded and floated away.
His actions were quite neat, and the Luos wanted to call him to take back the silver ticket, but they didn't have time.
And after seeing the denomination of the silver ticket clearly, the couple was silent.
After a while, Luo Gongzi said in a hoarse voice: "Sixty thousand taels of silver...... I have long heard that the three families in Nanfeng County are wealthy, especially the Feng family and the Xuan Yu family, who have accumulated many years of power, and have a profound heritage! At that time, I thought that in a small place like Nanfeng County, there were no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to call them kings, how could they compare with our family? Looking at this hand, we are sitting in the well and watching the sky!
"They are not ordinary powerful people!" Madame Zheng reminded, "Have you forgotten the hawksbill island? That is the largest group of pirates in the south in recent decades! They have plundered as many merchant ships as carp crossing the river! This is not counting the results of the wreak havoc ashore! The three families in Nanfeng County are not clear with them, as the saying goes, people are not rich or rich, the three families have a foundation, plus such an ally, it is strange if they are not rich!"
Her face was complicated, "Otherwise, how can you afford to support the army under the command of King Mizhen?"
“…… What do you think of this?" Luo Gongzi was silent for a moment, looked at the silver ticket with a struggling face, and asked.
Mrs. Zheng also watched, and after a while, she very simply handed down the silver ticket!
Facing her husband's surprised gaze, she sneered: "Everyone has stayed, and if we send it back, they may not be willing to accept it! In that case, why not? Not to mention that the wealth of the Jiangnan Luo family is probably also a descendant, and we have this kind of side branch, how much is the entire family? This money is in hand, and then we don't do anything, just release it to collect profits, and it will be enough for you and me! Do you think that after missing such an opportunity, it will be so easy to run into it again?"
"What's more, the meaning of the Feng family is very clear, and they don't want us to kill people and set fires or anything, they just want my sister not to follow Sheng Weide, and to give them to their children instead!"
"That Sheng Weide, we haven't seen anything so far, but in the face of his father, I said that my sister must not have a good life when she got married!"
"It's the Feng family, just looking at the temperament of the person who just came, just a steward, which shows that the heritage of the family that has accumulated years is definitely not under our family!
"And they don't have a granddaughter in the family, as the man just said, after my sister passed the door, she couldn't be treated like a granddaughter by the old lady, how easy and freehand?
"Of course, our girl is not a person who can't cope with such a thing, but with a good husband, why should she go to a bad family to suffer?"
Mrs. Zheng snorted, "In this way, we have benefited ourselves, and we have also helped our sister, and most importantly, the old lady of the Sheng family has done the sin, and the father-in-law of the Mizhen County King does not dare to stay in our mansion at this time, and the eight achievements are the county king's side to speak...... Don't forget, in this family matter, the Sheng family's side was made by the old lady Sheng and the second master Sheng!"
"This situation is transmitted back, even if we want to give our sister to Sheng Weide, you see if the head of the family will agree!"
"And my sister's family affair was mainly to get in touch with the king of Mizhen County!"
"Now it's not good to marry the Sheng family, and retreat to the next best, isn't it the Xuan Yu family and the Feng family? One of these two families is the foreign relatives of the princess of Mizhen County, and the other is that in the future of the prince of the county, they are all contributing money and efforts, and their meritorious contributions may not be a few days later than the Sheng family! The Feng family not only took the initiative to come to the door, but also announced that the old lady of the Yu family, who is the aunt of the princess of Mizhen County, is the head of the family as a biological flesh and blood, and she has already married a wife and had children!"
"You said that if you don't agree to the Feng family's request, what good will it do us?"
"I agreed, everyone is good, that is, Sheng Weide and Mrs. Sheng are more disappointed...... But what does this have to do with us?! Old lady Sheng did such a thing, and he didn't even greet our family, and he continued to watch our family marry his favorite grandson, and he didn't care about the consequences of being angry with the king of Mizhen County if this family affair was completed!"
"This is a marriage cheating !! at all"
"It's good if we don't settle accounts with him!!"
Stimulated by the 60,000 taels of silver tickets, Mrs. Zheng, who was already loved by Luo Gongzi because of her sharp teeth, talked more and more, and Luo Gongzi, who actually wanted to collect money, thought it was true!
So the couple happily decided that the next step was to try to repent of the marriage and change the marriage...... At this time, the old lady Sheng, who was about to arrive in the county town, was looking at her grandson in front of her with a smile: "The Luo family has arrived and is living in the ancestral house." This is what your uncle meant, and this is what I meant. After all, your father is really not angry, and he made a mess of the good mansion, and he didn't make a joke for the Luo family!"
"Of course, your uncle can only receive it for you, and you still have to behave well when the time comes...... Although this family affair has been decided, even if the Luo family is a little dissatisfied with you, their girls still have to marry, but you are outstanding, they dare not underestimate you, go back and say, after their girls pass the door, they will naturally have extra respect for you!"
The old lady who earnestly taught the eldest grandson didn't know what was waiting for him the moment he stepped into Nanfeng County!
