"I'm not going to marry her." Shen Shixuan frowned slightly, the sister-in-law's illness has not been cured, and she can't stand it next year, marrying the eldest lady of the Shui family and entering the door, and repeating the mistake of the wife and the eldest brother in the previous life.

"Shixuan, don't you like Ruoqian very much, when you were young, you were still crying and saying that you must marry her in the future, you are also childhood sweethearts, Mrs. Shui also said a few days ago At this time, Ruoqian is also fifteen years old, although it is early in Jinling, but you have to enter the door sooner or later, and it is not bad time." Guan's impression of Shui Ruoqian is still very good, gentle and quiet, knowledgeable, such a woman is very suitable to be a daughter-in-law, and her family background is not bad.

"Mother, that's when I was a child, don't mention it again, Ruoqian and I didn't have a matchmaker's words, what the eldest aunt said is really unfounded, I don't care, don't ruin the reputation of the girl's family, and besides, the sister-in-law is not in good health, how can I marry Chongxi." Shen Shixuan interrupted Guan's words, and a look of surprise flashed on Guan's face, his son had never had any ideas about this marriage, why did he suddenly react so much.

"Shixuan, you tell your mother, are you unhappy with Ruoqian, this girl is going to be more delicate to be raised." Guan thought that his son and Shui Ruoqian had an awkward quarrel, this young man had a big temper, and his family was spoiled, and he didn't know how to tolerate it.

"Mother, don't mention this matter in the future, it's innocent, so that you say this seems to be true, I don't want to marry now, and I won't marry Ruoqian." Shen Shixuan directly said his words clearly, but Guan's face was still a little worried, and he always felt that his son had something on his mind.

"Shixuan, you've been running outside all the time these days, and you're doing something." Guan Shi was worried for a while, and he didn't touch a few maids arranged in his son's house, so it was not that the scholar's family raised people outside.

"Last time in Dingyue Restaurant, my grandfather asked me to sit together, and my eldest brother had a lot of opinions, so naturally I couldn't follow my father to go to the business house often." He is not in the Shen family or in the business house just to avoid suspicion, how stingy the eldest brother is, Shen Shixuan has already seen it.

"I think your eldest brother is quite kind, your sister-in-law has been in poor health recently, and it is understandable that they are not in the right mood, you should go to your grandfather to learn more, so that you can share the burden for them." The Guan family's starting point is good, I hope that my son can help the Shen family below, but whether others accept it or not is another matter, Shen Shixuan doesn't want to get too close at all now.

"Mother, don't worry about these things, the uncle and the eldest brother in the business house have their own opinions, if the eldest aunt mentions it again, you can make it clear, don't ruin the reputation of Miss Shui." In the end, Shen Shixuan said that Guan couldn't understand, so he simply taught Guan how to do it, "I'll go back to eat first, and I'll come back to see you tomorrow." "

"Let's go after such a heavy rain." Guan Shi persuaded him, Shen Shixuan shook his head, "Then there is still something to do, you rest early, don't think too much." Shen Shixuan patted her hands, walked outside the door, took the umbrella, and walked directly into the rain...

Chu Mansion.

After dinner, Chu Yiyao stood under the eaves and looked at the heavy rain that was still falling, and it was foggy in the distance, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

Not long after she entered, the rain began to fall, and there was no intention of stopping until now, and there was a cold air in the air, and the drops of water under the eaves fell like strings of beads.

There was a sound of 'stamping' in the distance, Chu Yiyao raised her eyes, and a figure hurriedly ran over with an umbrella, and only in front of her did she see clearly that it was the maid tourmaline in Chu Duyuan's yard.

"Miss, Ah Chuan said that he had found the second young master, in the sacrificial hall of the lord and lady of the Thousand Buddha Temple." Tourmaline's hand holding the umbrella was still unsteady, and he was about excited, and the second young master, who had been missing for half a month, was finally found.

"Come in and talk." Chu Yiyao took her into the house, and Tourmaline stood there as a puddle of water accumulated, and her lower body was wet with rain.

"Is it still in the Thousand Buddha Temple?" Chu Yiyao asked Mother Qian to bring her a cloth to wrap her body, and Tourmaline nodded, "Ah Chuan couldn't persuade the young master to come back, but the young master didn't say he wanted to leave." "

"Alright, you go back and change your clothes, don't catch a cold." Chu Yiyao waved her hand to let her go down, sat on a chair and looked out of the house, looking for half a month, if it weren't for the fact that the Cao family didn't move at all, she even thought that the second brother eloped with the mandarin duck, and no one thought that the second brother would be there.

"Miss, it's pouring rain, it's so late, it's definitely not okay to go to the Thousand Buddha Temple now, let's go again tomorrow." Mother Qian persuaded on the side, afraid that if she learned the news of the second young master, she would immediately go to find someone.

"Nurse, find someone to go to my sister-in-law's and say it, and go early tomorrow morning." Chu Yiyao sighed lightly and ordered...

Chu Yiyao couldn't sleep peacefully this night, and the rain was light in the second half of the night, and after the rain stopped at dawn, Chu Yiyao and Qiao Cong'an went out to the Thousand Buddha Temple together.

Last night a heavy rain out of Jinling Road is still very muddy, the carriage walked for two hours to reach the Thousand Buddha Temple, get off the carriage can hear the bell from the top of the mountain.

When he arrived at the temple on the top of the mountain, he could still see a layer of mist after the rain around the mountains, and Chu Yiyao went directly to the sacrificial hall of the Thousand Buddhas Temple.

The sacrificial hall was divided into several rooms, some of which were still empty, and some of which had been arranged like the Chu family, and were specially used to worship the dead elders.

Chu Yiyao saw Ah Chuan in front of the Chu family's sacrifice hall, and when she approached, Chu Duyuan was sitting on the futon facing the altar of worship, as if he hadn't heard the movement outside.

"Young grandmother, eldest lady, you are here." After Ah Chuan found Chu Duyuan, he didn't dare to leave for a moment, he was afraid that the second young master would suddenly disappear again, and now that the eldest lady had come, he was finally relieved.

"Thank you for your hard work." Chu Yiyao smiled at him, turned to Qiao Cong'an and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll just go in, you can wait outside for a while." ”

A trace of worry flashed in Qiao Cong'an's eyes, and finally nodded, Chu Yiyao walked up the steps, walked into the room, and closed the door directly.

Chu Duyuan, who was in front of the futon, opened his eyes, and the room suddenly became much darker, and there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and after a while, a figure knelt down on the futon beside him.

Chu Yiyao bowed solemnly three times, got up and went to the stage to light incense and insert it in the incense burner in front of him, and didn't look at Chu Duyuan, his eyes fell on the hanging portrait, and said, "When do you plan to go home." ”

After a long time, Chu Duyuan's hoarse voice sounded, "I'll go back after thinking clearly." ”

"I also have something I can't think clearly, but I can't just leave like the second brother." Chu Yiyao stretched out her hand to wipe the dust on the table, turned around and looked down at him, with a hint of tiredness in her voice, "You are not the only one who is tired, and you are not the most tired." ”

Chu Duyuan raised his head, his eyes flashed with some struggle, some unwillingness, more powerlessness to change the status quo, he also tried to do what his sister said, but there were some things that he really couldn't do, so he chose to escape.

"Without the Chu family, we are nothing, second brother, leaving the Chu family, what do you say you can do, you have been pampered for more than ten years, and suddenly you have nothing, what can you do?" Chu Yiyao sat in front of him and looked at him parallelly:

"We can't do anything, my sister-in-law and I can't cook, my second brother can't go to the dock to move goods like those guys to earn dozens of copper coins a day, we don't have Uncle Ge to take care of the family affairs for us, and we won't have a maid mother to wait for you to get up and go to bed, we can only squeeze into a broken house, that's not our home."

Chu Duyuan wanted to refute her words, but he moved his mouth but couldn't speak, what she said was right, leaving the Chu family, he was nothing, no one would nod to him, without the title of the second young master of the Chu family, he was not even as good as those guys who pulled goods on the street.

"Second uncle, they moved away, you must not have imagined that my cousin sent someone to do something in the carriage, and I would fall down the hill and almost die." Chu Yiyao suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand on his collar and paused, patted the ash on his shoulder, and said casually, "As a condition for not reporting to the official, I let them move out." ”

Chu Duyuan had a look of surprise on his face, the second uncle's family seemed to him to be relatives of his own family, how could he do something to her.

"You see, you always believe in others more than you believe in yourself, and you always feel that they won't do anything to the Chu family, or do you think that the Chu family without your father and mother, and without your eldest brother, is it still the same as in the past?" Chu Yiyao looked at the look on his face, suddenly felt tired, and was too lazy to continue.

"You can ignore the Chu family that your father and mother have worked so hard for, but I can't, you have to stay here and go back after you figure it out according to your temperament, I can't, from today onwards, I will inform everyone, you Chu Duyuan left the Chu family cleanly, if you want to find the mandarin duck, I won't stop you, you can open your eyes and see clearly, as soon as the news comes, will she still want to be with you." Chu Yiyao took out two letters from his arms and threw them in front of him, got up and walked to the door.

Reaching out to support the door, Chu Yiyao took a deep breath and slowly pushed it away, this was her last effort, it was really the last time

On the night of his return, Chu Yiyao sent someone to spread the word directly outside, and the second young master of the Chu family left the house and left the Chu family.

This news was like a big stone smashed into the calm lake, causing countless ripples, the people Chu Yiyao was looking for to publicize it very well, and the next afternoon, many people directly found the business house to inquire about the truth of this matter, the second young master of the Chu family has left the house, and who else in the Chu family can go out to preside over it in the future.

And early the next morning, Chu Yiyao was already in the firm, and in front of the discussions of many stewards, Chu Yiyao sat there and only said a few words, "From today on, the affairs in the firm will be presided over by me instead of the big boss Chu Yingzhu, that is to say, all the things that the second young master was responsible for in the past will be handed over to me to deal with, and everything else remains the same, you can ask me in person if you have any questions, but before this, Chu Duyuan was absent for half a month, and when I finish dealing with these things, you will come in one by one and ask." ”

After saying that, Chu Yiyao walked directly into Chu Duyuan's room, Chu Zhong and Chu Hanlin immediately followed, and as soon as the door was closed, the stewards outside suddenly whispered.

"Yiyao, you are influencing these stewards in the trading house." Chu Hanlin was also shocked by this sudden news, he was very happy that his nephew had been absent for so long, and it was best not to come all the time, but the Chu family directly let him out of the house, what kind of reason is this.

"They have all signed the contract, they can leave, and they can come in and talk to me again after thinking of a reason." Chu Yiyao patted the account on the table, "Second uncle, the second brother hasn't come back for half a month, you should know how much he dragged things in this business house, he is the one who left the house, and what he is responsible for will be left to me from today onwards, could it be that Second Uncle I look down on Yiyao as a woman?" ”

"I'm worried that these stewards won't be convinced." Chu Hanlin smiled, "How could I look down on you." "This niece is much more shrewd than her nephew.

"I still say the same thing, whoever is not convinced can come in here to find me, as for those merchants who come to the door, Uncle Zhong, you go and tell them that the Chu family is not a big boss, and it will not affect the cooperation between them." Chu Zhong went out immediately, Chu Yiyao looked at Chu Hanlin, and a light smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "Second uncle, there are many places to learn from you in the future." ”
