Lian Chengxian gestured with his eyes that Ling Xiang would have something else to say later.
Su Jinhong was very eye-catching, so he got up and said that he wanted to change his clothes, and Lian Chengxian hurriedly called a small servant to take the guests to the courtesy room.
After Su Jinhong left the hall, Ling Xiang asked, "What does uncle have to say?"
Lian Chengxian naturally knew that his sister never asked about business matters, and it was his niece who made the decision, so he walked to her side and lowered his voice: "What Master Su means, it will take some time to slowly sell the relics of the county lord, and it is not easy to make a noise to the outside world." Our optimistic shops are good, it's not good to wait for him to slowly get rid of his hands and then open them, what he means, let's put it on first. ”
Ling Xiang pursed his lips: "What about the contract?
Lian Chengxian was a little sneering: "Naturally, I want to write his two percent." ”
Ling Xiang pondered for a moment, opening such two shops in Jinling must cost a lot of silver, especially if the business has to be bigger, the goods have to be imported more or the pawnshop has to open more semicolons and collect more things, it is even more a bottomless pit, Su Jinhong did not specifically say when the silver can be cashed, which makes it clear that there is inequality. However, the original intention of befriending him was not for the silver, and even spending more money was worth it, so she groaned slightly, and said: "In this case, it is nothing to promise him, but he put forward such conditions, we don't have to worry about it anymore, it is better to tell him about Daddy, he can help save Daddy, not to mention temporarily paying the silver, even if he gives him 20% for nothing, we are also willing, if not, I would rather find another way." ”
Lian Chengxian felt that it made sense when he heard it, and Ling Xiang immediately gave the right cards, instructed Ah Long to go to Zhang's place to withdraw 1,000 taels of silver, and asked Cheng Run and Cheng Ai to avoid it temporarily.
Cheng Run got up as soon as he heard that he was busy, but Cheng Ai was not happy, and was glared at by Cheng Run before following out.
After a while, Su Jinhong turned around and was slightly surprised to see that the Cheng sisters had left.
After Su Jinhong sat down, Ling Xiang stepped forward to make a big salute.
Su Jinhong was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Ling Xiang avoided it, but still made a half-salute.
Su Jinhong asked anxiously, "Miss Ling, why is this?"
Ling Xiang glanced at his uncle, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will run a shop with my son, and we will only regard my son as my own family, and the little girl has difficulties in her family, so I want to ask Su Gongzi to come forward, and I hope that Gongzi will not refuse." ”
Lian Chengxian opened the silver that Aaron had withdrawn on the side: "As soon as the fee is paid, the son just speaks." ”
Su Jinhong didn't dare to rashly say it, but said: "Please also ask the girl to sit down with Mr. Xia and tell me in detail, if there is something that can be done in the future, why not talk about the cost, I will do my best." ”
Seeing that he was sincere, Ling Jiao was very grateful, sat down according to his words, and explained in detail how his father got started, how he offended the political envoy, how he was forcibly charged and deliberately implicated in the political enemies of the political envoy's faction, etc.: "Now I just ask my son to save my father, forgive his sin of exile, and go home to reunite, which is the grace of recreation." ”
Su Jinhong heard that it was clear that he was just going to remove the exile punishment of a low-level businessman in a major provincial case, and it was difficult for the exiled person to be released, but after all, it was not impossible, and after a little thought, he nodded slightly.
Ling Xiang stared at him tightly, nervous.
Lian Chengxian hesitated: "I want the prince to go to the palace of Yuyang." ”
Su Jinhong gave Ling Xiang a reassuring smile: "This matter has turned a few layers around when Uncle Xun came forward, and the uncles are elders, and sometimes it is inconvenient to speak...... It's better to ask my powder keg cousin to come forward. ”
Ling Xiang went through it in his mind, and then he remembered that the cousin of the powder keg he said was the prince of King Lu, one of the four sons of Jinling, and thought to himself that although he was the prince of the prince, his unobtrusive reputation was widely spread in the capital, and he could do the right thing...... I can't help but feel a little uneasy. I had no choice but to say: "The princes are not so easy to speak, the little girl understands." ”
Su Jinhong raised his hand and shook it: "Huh, the girl doesn't know, although he is not a weapon, he was placed by his uncle to work in Dali Temple, and he is willing to spend money, so it is best to do such things." ”
Lian Chengxian glanced at his niece, and both of them were a little overjoyed.
"It's better to ask the girl to write down a piece of paper about Ling Zun's name and the time of the case, and I will go to King Lu's mansion as soon as possible, and see how much silver he asks for when he opens his mouth, and after the matter is completed, it will not be too late to deliver." ”
Ling Xiang thanked him again and again, hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the room, wrote down the main points he explained, and rushed to the front hall to serve them in person.
Back and forth, it was getting late, and Lian Chengxian naturally stayed for dinner, and Ling Xiang was inconvenient to accompany him, so he thanked Fang to Qiwutang again to show his mother.
After listening to the sound of the Buddha, Lian was naturally overjoyed, and went to the Buddha statue to put on three incense sticks, so that people could invite Zhang and Cheng Ai, Ling Yunben was writing in his mother's room, and he was also happy to be called over to know it, and the six people gathered around the small round table and had a beautiful meal.
During this period, Cheng Ai's eyes were resentful, and her appetite was not good, Lian's heart was happy, and she wanted to take care of her son, but she didn't notice it, Ling Makeup knew that she was thinking about spring, but she couldn't help it, and she waited for her father's affairs to have an eyebrow, and then asked her mother to invite a matchmaker to tell her a family affair, so as not to cause trouble.
From that day on, the Ling Mansion was naturally looking forward to Su Jinhong's news, but who knew that he hadn't come to the door yet, but an uninvited guest came.
The one who came was a brightly dressed official matchmaker, a rich wife, who brought some small gifts and Geng posts, who could speak well and indicated that she wanted to see Lian's.
Ling Xiang was originally accompanying Lian to do some needlework, and he didn't know who to propose, so he followed him and stood behind the sandalwood screen behind the hall to listen.
The matchmaker had a big voice, full of energy, and said to Lian with a smile: "Mrs. is happy! Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi!"
Lian was confused: "What did you say?"
The matchmaker said: "No, your house has good feng shui, you have a good neighbor, Ruan Laojun next door, I like your eldest girl very much, so the concubine brought Lord Shaoqing's Geng post to officially propose to his wife, isn't it a good marriage that fell from the sky?"
Lian was shocked, and then couldn't suppress his anger: "Although my lord has no merit and fame, he is also a pure white family, his daughter will never be a concubine with anyone, Ruan Shaoqing has a wife, what do you say!"
The matchmaker obviously expected her to react like this, and giggled: "Oh, madam, you listen to the concubine first." ”
Ling Xiang frowned and clasped the carving on the screen, which was a bit ridiculous.
The matchmaker clapped her hands and said: "What Ruan Lao Junjun means, the girl enters the house as a concubine, if she gets a man and half a woman, then the Zhou family will voluntarily go to the court, and the position of the head wife will be vacated." According to Ruan Shaoqing's character and talent, if he hadn't married a wife in the township back then, he would have been worthy of the princess and county lord, and now the girl is eighteen years old, no matter how rich the house is, in the end, it is a merchant, if you get such a fast son-in-law, wouldn't it be a creation?"
Lian Shi saw Ruan Yue, and after listening to the matchmaker's words, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, thinking that his daughter was actually an abandoned woman, if the Ruan family was trustworthy, this would be a reliable family business, and he would have face to anyone who mentioned his son-in-law in the future.
Seeing that Lian's intention was moved, the matchmaker puffed up her tongue like a spring, praising Ruan Yue's talent to the point that there was nothing in the sky or the earth.
Ling Xiang saw that her mother was hesitant, and even wanted to ask the Zhang family to discuss it together, but she couldn't bear it anymore and turned out from behind the screen: "This mother should take a breath and have a cup of tea." ”
The matchmaker had never faced the situation where the girl jumped out by herself, standing there blinking with a funny expression.
