Soon after Su Li left, Shen Cheng also returned to the Shen family's old house-

Shen Cheng didn't say whether he wanted to leave or not, but Shen Jin then took out a long black whip with barbs. Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed the person without hesitation.

Just looking at the appearance, the whip is terrifyingly tight, and if you really whip it on your body, you may not know what it will hurt......

Xihe instinctively Shen Cheng went back this time, and he was afraid that he would be punished. Especially the meaningful look that Shen Jin looked at him when he left......

"Miss," it was Qingbi, who was hurrying in, and when she saw Xihe, her face was obviously a little excited, "There are guests from outside." It's the merchant lady, and there are two other guests with her. ”

"Sister Shang has arrived?" Xihe was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up, with a look of joy and confusion on his face.

Some time ago, Xihe appointed Shang Cheng to go to the capital business to do things, and when he left, Shang Cheng said that he would come back to pick up his family when he was properly settled, and revealed that he wanted his daughter to live in Yang's house temporarily-

Shang Cheng's daughter's name is Shang Yan.

Because of the first half of his life, he got married late, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an old woman, and Shangcheng is very favored. I thought that my favorite daughter was already the first in the world, but after watching the actions of the Yang family's father and son, I realized that compared with others, my little bit of Taoism was really nothing, after all, the Yang family handed over such a large piece of the foundation to a little girl who had just passed Jilu and tossed it.

As for himself, it's just spending some silver taels to buy some delicious food and drink for his daughter, which is really nothing.

Of course, there is another meaning to sending her daughter here, it is true that Shang Yan is also interested in business dealings, and she thinks that since she knows Yang Xihe's true identity, there will really be something in the future, so it will be cheaper for her daughter to communicate with each other.

There were only two guests, and I don't know where it came from.

When Xi Heying came out, he saw three carriages slowly coming around the corner, and there was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman who accompanied the carriage.

"Sister Xiaoman." Nozomi smiled and beckoned.

"Ah He-" Xiao Man's eyebrows and eyes are slender, his skin is fair, and he is really beautiful. Seeing Xihe calling her, she hurriedly trotted forward, with a very happy expression on her face, "They are all Ahe's guests, and what Ahe wants to do in the future, someone will accompany him." ”

"Okay, I see, look at your hot one." Xihe smiled and handed over a handkerchief-

There are shameless people in the world who take the help of others for granted like Shen's mother, and there are also respectable people like Xiaoman who remember every little kindness to others.

Xiao Man is an embroidery girl nearby, and there are only two sisters and brothers in the family - they are sisters and brothers, but they are actually twins with their younger brother Cheng Xiu.

Only the two of them are also hard-working, just after birth, their mother died of dystocia, and their father lingered on the sickbed for several years, and he also passed away five years ago.

People say that this family is afraid that it is going to break up, and even his uncle Cheng Tang has already let out his mouth, saying that he has found a good family for Cheng Man, and Cheng Xiu will pass on to another childless family of the same clan.

Cheng Man refused to part with his younger brother, and he was even more of a fierce man, so he directly took a white silk and hung it in front of his uncle's house, and even Cheng Xiu, who was from Si Wenwen, also carried a knife in his arms, saying that he had a father, so he would not call someone else's father, if someone dared to rob his sister, he would die with others, although Cheng Tang loved money and spared his life, he was so scared that he didn't dare to come to the door again.

Even so, he still didn't give up, and he didn't allow anyone to help Cheng Man's sister and brother, thinking that the young two were desperate, and they had to bow to their uncle in the end.

Cheng Man was stubborn, and he started looking for work one by one, but they were all rejected, and finally fell to his knees outside the gate of the Yang family in desperation.

At that time, Yang Xiyan was still in charge, so he handed over this matter to Xihe to deal with.

The first time they met, Xihe felt that Xiao Man's eyes were tight, and he immediately responded.

Xiao Man was grateful, but he didn't just get up, but made his entanglement with his uncle Cheng Tang's family clear. He also said that if the master was afraid of getting into trouble, he could refuse. had to force himself to finish speaking, but Xiao Man was already shaking like sifting chaff.

To this day, Xihe can still remember the faint hope and great despair in Xiao Man's eyes when he knelt there-

Obviously, life is extremely miserable, but he still insists on the bottom limit of his life.

Fortunately, others are afraid of Cheng Tang, but the Yang family is not afraid.

is only different from Cheng Man's gratitude to Dade, but Xihe doesn't think that he has helped them much.

After all, the Yang family just gave Cheng Man a chance to support his family at that time, and every penny they spent was clearly Cheng Man's own hard work, and there was not a penny for nothing.

Even every time he saw the exquisite clothes embroidered with stitches and threads, Xihe felt that the salary he gave was still too low.

It is Cheng Xiu, obviously Yang Zefang is no longer presiding over Minghu Academy, and every New Year's Day, he will kowtow to the house, and the ceremony is comparable to that of a disciple.

So that Yang Xiyan smiled every time, the girl's eyes on people should be really good, and the Cheng family is clearly buy one get one free, and it is not good that in the future, he will be able to get a champion for nothing-

Cheng Xiu was also a person in the examination the year before last, and his ranking in the school was second only to Shen Ting.

To say that with Cheng Xiu's current identity, he can naturally provide his sister with a relatively stable life, and there is no need for Cheng Man to work as a helper, but Du Cheng Man is an idle person, and other families are just fine, except for her younger brother Cheng Xiu and Xihe's clothes, she must make them herself. After going back and forth, Xiaoman is nominally the embroidery girl in the house, but in fact she is similar to Xihe, but she is really a good sister.

While the two were talking, the three carriages also stopped one after another.

Three girls of the same age as Nozomi got out of the carriage one after another.

The first one was dressed in an apricot yellow shirt, with round eyes, a small mouth and nose, and he was very round and gratifying-

Xihe had heard Shang Cheng talk about his daughter before, but didn't she look extremely festive and likable? knew that this should be Shang Yan.

As for the woman in the green shirt in the back, the woman in red is really beautiful, and there is a sense of reserve and arrogance between her eyebrows.

Smiled at the moment and stepped forward:

"This is the merchant's sister, right?"

"How dare you do this?" Shang Yan was suddenly a little flattered - others didn't know, but Shang Yan learned from her father early in the morning that Yang Xihe was the real head of the business, and even her father had to respectfully respect "Miss", thinking that her father was pampered by the family like a jewel and was in charge of such a big business, but she didn't expect her to be so approachable.

"Just call me by my name."

Nozomi smiled and nodded, and then looked at the other two who had followed with the maid's service.

Shang Yan shook her head imperceptibly-

Although the three arrived at the same time, they did not know each other.

But the woman in the green shirt opened her mouth first, but the words were said to the woman in red:

"Is this really your aunt's house? That century-old scholarly ......"

The tone was unbelievable, revealing some incredible contempt.

Hearing the woman say this, Xihe didn't show it on his face, but Qingbi almost turned her face-

Since the big house has been given a cold reception, such words have been heard by many young and old, but others are just talking behind their backs, how can anyone talk about it like this in front of the owner? It's just that this woman is clearly with the girl in red, and according to her, the woman in red can call her wife an aunt.

The woman in red was also a little embarrassed on her face, and she didn't answer the words of the woman in the green shirt, and took a step forward:

"You're Nozomi and sister, right? My mother is the wife of the Chi family in Anping, I don't know if the aunt of the Gu family has mentioned it to my sister? ”

Anping Chi's family? After a little thought, Xihe understood who was coming-

Let's just say that my mother doesn't have other sisters, why did she have an extra niece out of thin air? turned out to be the daughter of the Chi family.

I also heard my mother say that when I was in the boudoir, I did have a close sister, named Qin Yuan, and the two fathers intersected, and they also cooperated in business, and they got along quite well. Even the two wives were pregnant at the same time, and the joke said that they wanted to kiss each other, but they both gave birth to a daughter.

Even the fate of the two after that is very similar, they both married someone to continue the string, and they only gave birth to one daughter after marriage. is only different from Gu Xiuwen's body damaged and unable to give birth, then the Qin family's aunt is infertile for many years because her husband has too many beautiful concubines in the room and can't control her husband......

It seems that the Qin family's aunt's daughter, Xiaozi Fangyun, should be the one in front of her.

I heard that the old man of the Chi family has entered the Internal Affairs Office as an official, and the two families have not been in contact for more than ten years.

It stands to reason that the relationship is so unfamiliar, if you come to the door, why do you have to say hello in advance, how can you come directly in a hurry?

"It turned out to be Miss Chi, is the aunt of the Qin family okay? I don't know if the young lady is coming, it is really a disappointment. ”

Although the tone was politely tight, compared to Fang Cai's attitude towards Shang Yan, there was obviously an alienation that could not be mistaken.

Chi Fangyun's smile was a little stiff, but she covered up the past very well-

Unlike her mother-in-law Qin Yuan, who often cries and complains that she is not as good as Gu Xiuwen because her father spends all day drinking, Chi Fangyun has her own opinions-

As the daughter of an official family, the situation of the Yang family's big house has naturally been talked about.

Although it is a name for a hundred years of scholars, who doesn't know that there is no status influence in the family or even in Shilin? With the decline of his family, it can't be said that even life is a little difficult, how can he have the money to raise any delicate concubines?

Even if he is quite slanderous about his father's behavior, he still has a secret sense of superiority when facing Xihe.

I thought that I would come to the Yang family as my own identity, even if it was a little abrupt, the other party would definitely be flattered, but Yang Xihe was not inferior to himself in terms of momentum. Listening to her tone, she clearly knew who she was, but she was still a little worse than her previous affectionate attitude towards a businesswoman.
