Chapter 125: Conscience

Lin Long didn't urge this Zhou Dangjia, but the hesitation on his face was clear at a glance, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, even if she came to expose the evil things that Zhou Dangjia had done, her face was still calm and calm.

This made the onlookers also take a few more looks, comparing the expressions of the two, it was obvious that the owner of the house was slandering the reputation of others this week, if Lin Long was such an unfilial person, how could he dare to question him face to face? The wind of public opinion suddenly favored Lin Long.

Lin Long was speechless when he saw that Zhou Dangjia was speechless, "Zhou Dangjia, since you can't swear an oath, then I won't force you, but you have to come to my Jade Skin Workshop to apologize to me, otherwise I won't give up on this matter." I'll give you a day, if I don't see you come to Jade Skin Fang to apologize at this hour tomorrow, then don't blame me for taking this matter to court, I believe that harmony and wealth are the situation that you merchants want to see the most, and I don't mind causing trouble. ”

After speaking, she didn't look at the cold sweat on her forehead this week, and calmly let people pull out of the crowd and walk out of Fengshengde, anyway, the purpose of her coming has been achieved, and there is no need to stay any longer.

Zhou Dangjia saw her leaving Fengshengde, and hurriedly chased forward, "Mrs. Ye Shizi, we have something to talk about......

When Lin Long heard this, he turned his head to look at the eager Zhou Dangjia, "I've already given you a chance, you sent someone to spread rumors about me, how can I not pursue it?" And you won't even make an oath, how do you make me believe that you are innocent? I'm very face-saving now, it's not easy to read that you are old and young, otherwise I will directly go to court with you, will I waste my tongue with you here? ”

Zhou Dangjia can't refute a word of such a statement, he is a person who believes in Buddhism, how can he take his only son to make such a poisonous oath? His eyes rolled and rolled, but he couldn't find a way to resolve it, and when he hesitated, Lin Long was already helped by the maid to get into the carriage.

"Master Zhou, I'm waiting for you to come to the Jade Skin Workshop to apologize tomorrow." Lin Long gently teased the gauze curtain on the car window and reminded softly.

The crowd of onlookers around made a sound of crusade, and Lin Long just watched for a while before lowering the curtain and letting the coachman whip up and go home.

Zhou Dangjia didn't know how he walked into the store, and the ridicule of the people around him was very uncomfortable to hear, not to mention that there were also noble ladies in the store who came to buy and threw Fengshengde's products into the arms of the guys, and snorted coldly, "Let's go, such a despicable owner, there will be no good things in this store." ”

"That is, who is Mrs. Ye Shizi? actually dared to slander others, and he didn't claim that he weighed a few pounds and taels. Immediately someone echoed the noblewoman who spoke up.

"Let's go to Jade Skin Workshop to have a look, I heard that they have launched new products."

"That's right......"

“……”

They are all upper-class noblewomen, and naturally they support Lin Long of the same class, and this low-level businessman slanders the reputation of others, which is to commit their taboos.

The man couldn't stop him if he wanted to, so he could only watch the ladies leave with their eyes open.

Zhou Dangjia's face was gloomy, he clenched his fists and raised the curtain without saying a word to the inner room.

The guys looked at each other, and finally they all shrugged their shoulders and went about their work, anyway, the business of the store was naturally taken care of by the owner, and it was useless for them to worry.

At this time, Lin Long gently lifted the curtain on the car window and beckoned to the bandit stone who was guarding on horseback beside him. "Bandit, come here."

"Grandma, do you have any instructions?"

"You go find some people to spread the word between me and the Fengsheng Dedong family, and spread it as widely as possible."

After thinking about it, Bandit Shi understood Lin Long's intentions, and nodded yes.

Lin Long put down the gauze curtain in his hand, leaned on the soft pillow a little lazily, and began to miss his husband who was away from home as soon as he calmed down, I don't know when he will come back?

"Grandma, I see that Ming'er will definitely come to apologize that week." Ruxia on the side said with a smile, she helped the Jade Skin Workshop in Suzhou to do the work, so she still has some feelings for this shop.

Lin Long took the hot soup she offered, took a sip of the warm body, and the whole body was comfortable. "Whether he comes or not, he will definitely be defeated, I hope this man is aware of the times."

The people don't fight with the officials, the official words are good and bad, she Lin Long is the wife of the Hou Shizi of Xiangyang and the lord of Yi'an, she is really in court, the Zhou family of Fengshengde will undoubtedly lose, because of her identity, the capital Mansion Yin will definitely stand on her side, which can be imagined with her toes.

In fact, the sue can deal with this matter faster, but she doesn't want to leave a handle on people, saying that she is a big official and oppressive, even if her evidence is sufficient, but people like to sympathize with the weak, one is not good, her goal was not achieved, and she made a wedding dress for people out of thin air.

Of course, she didn't want to do things too far, she and Zhou Dangjia were just commercial competition, not to the point of putting people to death.

This incident happened, and the patriarchs of the Zhou family quickly received the news and gathered to rush to the main store of Fengshengde, after all, this matter can be big or small, and if they provoke such people, they are afraid that the ancestral industry will not be guaranteed.

Several chairs sit the head of the Zhou family, and even if the Zhou family is the current leader, he has to accompany the last seat.

"Tell me, did you do anything like that?"

Hearing his father's question, Zhou Dangjia's face was gloomy, "There is ......"

"Are you stupid? That's the wife of the prince of the Hou Mansion, and the righteous daughter of the queen's mother, didn't you see the emperor's own inscription hanging in the jade skin workshop? Zhou's uncle immediately scolded.

Zhou Dangjia's face was embarrassed for a while, "Our rouge gouache can enter the harem as a tribute, and it also depends on the Gao family and Chang Gonggong, these two places we give a lot of filial piety every year." After Chang's father-in-law's accident, I had to have closer contacts with the Gao family in order to maintain my business, and they asked me to spread the news, can I not do it? ”

He defended himself, in fact, how could the Gao family afford his small role at that time? The person he stammered didn't have much say in the Gao family, so he hinted at him a few words. He was hot-headed at the time, and he saw that the red jade skin shop was thriving in the gold business, and finally he was ruthless enough to spread this rumor, which would be good for Fengshengde's business.

As a result, he was still disappointed, in addition to the share of the tribute palace, Fengshengde's business was still not salty, and the overall increase was a little, but it was still less than half of the heyday.

Now in order not to lose his position as the leader, he can only push all the qiē on the Gao family, anyway, something happened to the Gao family, and no one confronted him, so he couldn't help it.

Gao's father's expression was stunned, and what his son said was also true, "Uncles, we are raising for a long time, and it is not easy for him to support the Zhou family's business alone, and this thing has been done, so let's go to Yufufang tomorrow." He couldn't think of anything else.

But before Zhou Dangjia could express his position, someone immediately jumped up and said angrily: "How can this be? In this way, the reputation of our Fengshengde is stinky, what will we do with our business in the future? ”

"Yes, Fengshengde's business is not good, will our dividends at the end of the year be less again? Last year was a lot less than the year before, and the person in charge of this matter cannot be irresponsible. ”

"This abundance is not exclusive to you, but everyone's ......"

“……”

The sound of gossip and quarrels was endless, and Zhou Dangjia's face sank even more ugly, he knew the meaning of this group of people, that is, he thought he was not doing a good job in this position, and hoped to change the virtuous.

"You should know that there are only two places affected, one is Suzhou and the other is Beijing, and we Fengshengde still make a lot of money in other places, which is enough to offset the losses in these two places. The reason why it was affected was not the newly emerging Jade Skin Workshop? The backstage of this house is too big, how can a small tree like me shake it? Even if I make a virtuous person, who can do it better than me? ”

Zhou Dangjia stated with a little anger and a little grievance, not in his position and not in his own politics, these old men who have been raising themselves for a long time think too simply. He just made a roundabout move, and he was threatened by Lin Long like this.

That's right, it's a threat, he, a businessman, has always only been a flattering and sycophant in front of the official family, that's the official's wife, how can he afford to offend?

He refuted this argument, and immediately someone sighed, which is also true, the status of merchants is much better than that of the previous dynasty, allowing the children of the family to get ahead in scientific examinations, but in general, the status is still not high, and the farmers and businessmen still respect the last seat.

Several uncles of the Zhou family are no longer silent, even if they replace this nephew and let someone else, they may not be able to do better than him, but I am afraid that the situation will be worse.

"Prepare the gift, Ming'er will apologize." After all, Zhou's father used to be the master, and he immediately spoke out to relieve his son, "We can't go to the court, if we can't fight her there, we will also have a grudge against the Xiangyang Hou Mansion, and we can't do it." ”

Zhou Dangjia nodded fiercely, and the father he could think of also thought of it. "It's ready tonight, and we won't let this matter make a big deal and affect Fengshengde's operations."

"Yes, the sooner it subsides, the better." Several uncles agreed.

Father Zhou spoke again, "All parts of this palace have been done well this year, at least we must keep the gold-lettered signboard of tribute, and we must not give it to others." ”

"The child has already carried out, and during the New Year, all places have personally gone to worship the New Year and given gifts, it is estimated that there will be no chaos, and this share will fall into the hands of Fengshengde." As soon as he mentioned this stubble, Zhou Dangjia raised his chest and said.

After the fall of Gonggong Chang and the Gao family, he has been looking for forces to rely on, this imperial merchant is not easy to do, after all, there are too many people waiting to see his bad luck now.

This conversation saved a lot of points for the Zhou family, and the faces of several uncles who didn't care about anything softened a little.

In the evening, Lin Long returned to the mansion, went to greet Ye Zhong's family first, and told him about the situation in the palace by the way.

"The Ten Princes are dead?" Ye Zhong's stunned face was even more exaggerated than the expression when she heard that the Gao family's accident that day, which showed that this incident was beyond her expectations.

The Ye sisters all secretly raised their eyebrows, and the death of this bone eye is really imaginative.

"Hmm." Lin Long frowned, "But he was killed by the Gao family, and he has nothing to do with the queen mother." ”

"Does the queen have a countermeasure on her side?" Ye Zhong still brought out the doubts in his heart.

"How could it be?" Lin Long pretended to smile lightly, "The queen mother naturally won't let people splash dirty water at this time. ”

Ye Zhongshi nodded, their Ye family and the Su family were close, and they didn't want the queen, the master of the middle palace, to be questioned, otherwise there would be endless troubles in the future. asked the eldest daughter and the younger daughter to go out for dinner, and when they saw the two daughters going out, they took Lin Long's hand at this time, "How do you deal with the two children from the Gao family?" ”

In her opinion, if these two children don't get rid of them, they will be sensible when they grow up, and they will definitely have a revenge mentality, no matter how bad Gao Ningzhen is, she is also the biological mother of the two of them.

Lin Long saw the ruthlessness in Ye Zhong's eyes, shivered slightly, and after a pause, said: "Although the stepmother didn't say anything, I don't think she will do too much to these two children, first, the timing is sensitive, and secondly, it is more important to win back people's hearts." As soon as the ten princes die, the emperor's knees will be even more empty, and if the seven princes are removed, the situation of the stepmother will not get better. ”

"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, but I am afraid that the spring breeze will blow and grow again." Ye Zhongshi suddenly said with emotion, for some reason, she often dreamed of the sister who escaped from the family recently, and the repeated dreams made her quite uneasy, if she hadn't hesitated for a while, it probably wouldn't have become a matter of mind.

The fact that her husband has an outer room, she is actually convinced in her heart, who Ye Mingsui is, how can she not know? But this person just couldn't figure it out and it made her chagrined.

"Mother-in-law is right, I think the stepmother will measure it, there is still a long time before these two children become adults, if you have a different heart, it's not too late to do it."

This is Lin Long's heart, treat others with himself, Su Ziyu should think the same, from a small person to a big person, Su Ziyu has thousands of opportunities to buy people's hearts, and then arrange people to secretly monitor, it is not difficult. Without the foundation of the Gao family, it is impossible for the Seven Princes to win the throne, and they are just idle princes, just like the Nine Princes.

When Ye Zhongshi heard this, she didn't say anything, it was too kind of a woman, she actually didn't approve of it, but what the queen thought, only the queen knew in her heart, "I'll just talk to you about this, don't tell the lady in the palace." ”

Lin Long nodded cautiously, "The daughter-in-law knows what to say and what not to say, and the mother-in-law can rest assured." ”

Ye Zhongshi patted her hand and put her heart at ease, her daughter-in-law has always been very clever, so she left Lin Long to have dinner with her right now.

After eating, Ye Manjun returned to South Park with Lin Long as usual, and the two sisters-in-law got along more and more harmoniously.

The next day, Lin Long had breakfast and explained the matter and then set off to Jade Skin Fang, if Zhou Dangjia came to apologize, she must be present.

Lin Long went out, Su Wen ordered a few big girls to do things, and was about to start doing some needlework, when he heard a sound at the door curtain, he thought it was Lin Long going and returning, and got up and was about to go up, but he saw the incense rafters, so he smiled and said, "Why are you here?" ”

The incense rafter and Su Wen have been on an errand together for more than half a year, so they are naturally very familiar with each other, holding each other's hands, "What, it's okay to come?" ”

"Grandma is out, if you look for her, you haven't picked a good time." Su Wen personally made a bowl of tea for the incense rafters, and she didn't use the best tea, which was drunk by the master, but the food and clothing of these big girls were not bad.

"I'm not here to look for grandma, I'm here to find you." The rafter is colored.

"Looking for me?"

Su Wen couldn't hide his surprise, although he lived in the same mansion, how could he have so much time to get together and whisper after they separated, and he was too late to wait for his master.

"That's right, I'm looking for you."

The incense rafter put down the tea bowl handed over by Suwen and took her hand and got up, "Let's go, let's find a secluded place to talk." ”

Suwen did not refuse.

The railing on the second floor of the South Park has always been quite quiet, and the plain lines make people not come to disturb, so there are only her and the incense rafters here. "What's the matter with me? Don't beat around the bush, say it quickly. ”

"Suwen, in fact, it was the grandmother who asked me to come to you." The rafter did not hide.

Su Wen was taken aback again, if the grandmother wanted to know something, just ask her, what are you looking for the incense rafters? Her brows furrowed slightly, "Did I do something wrong, grandma is not easy to say, let you sue me, or ......"

As soon as the rafter saw Su Wen's expression, she knew that she wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly shouted: "I haven't said it yet, don't guess, grandma is good, don't you know?" When we do something wrong, she always points it out to our face so that we can improve. Seeing Su Wen hanging her head embarrassedly, she patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, I can see you with this expression, let me ask you, have you been worried lately?" ”

Su Wen's face turned red, "Who did you listen to?" ”

"Big grandma." The rafter gave an answer.

Su Wen then remembered her perfunctory words about her grandmother that day, the grandmother didn't believe it, and it was reasonable to think about it, how shrewd the grandmother was, how could she believe her casual nonsense? "It's over, will grandma be angry with me......" she hurriedly grabbed the dress of the chanter.

"You just thought of it now?" Xiangrin glared at her angrily, "But you should be glad that we have all met a good master, if you are really angry with you, will you still come to me?" Don't scare yourself, what have you been worrying about lately, can't you talk to me? ”

Su Wen's face darkened, "What is there to say?" It's all over anyway......"

When I thought of her temptation, but the other party didn't react, can this mood get better?

The incense rafter is a person who has come over, and at a glance he knows that Suwen is trapped by love to be so depressed, so he said carefully; "Suwen, do you have someone you like?"

Su Wen looked up at the incense rafters suddenly, and blushed, "No, don't guess......"

The rafter didn't believe her words? "If you have, why hide it from me? Who do you like to tell the grandmother directly, why bother to worry about the city? We, the big girls who have waited for the big grandmother, are in demand, and you don't know that the little girls in this house are eager to marry us......"

"That's true, but it's just my unrequited love, and people don't fancy me." After speaking, Su Wen bit her lower lip tightly, looking self-pitying.

"Suwen, who is so unsightly? Don't you want to let a delicate lady like you? If you tell me, I'll go talk to him and make him look down on our big girl in South Park......"

"Oh, Xiangrafter, you don't care about it, I don't think I've lost enough face? People don't mean that. ”

Su Wen tightened the incense rafters that were about to get up, she still wanted face, and she couldn't afford to lose this person.

"He said it himself?" The rafter asked with an eyebrow raised.

Su Wen shook her head, "I'm not too embarrassed to ask, but I have a hint." ”

The incense rafter stretched out his index finger and lightly pressed the door of his head, "You are stupid, men are as stupid as pigs, if you don't pick it out, just hint that it goes around like this, how can their heads turn around?" ”

"What do you want me to do? Just say that I like him, if he rejects me, where will my face go? Su Wen replied angrily.

The rafter pulled up his sleeves and sat down again, "Then what are you going to do?" That's it, I heard that your mother is keen to find you a relative? ”

"She is looking for her, and I shouldn't be." Plain hard airway.

After thinking about it, Xiang Rin felt that Su Wen was too negative, so he squeezed her hand, "Who do you really like?" It's not easy for you to speak, when my man comes back, I'll let him go to his mouth in private, I don't believe that there will be anyone who can't look down on our big girl in South Park. ”

Su Wen is actually very tempted by the mention of the incense rafters, but when she thinks that her sweetheart has had a period with the incense rafters, she is not easy to open this mouthful, which makes the fragrance rafters very embarrassed and embarrassed. "Don't ask, I know this." After speaking, she stood up, "You estimate that there are a lot of things there, and I am also very busy with things here, Xiangrafter, let's disperse first......"

This time, it was the turn of the rafter to pull the sleeve of Suwen's shirt, "Can't even tell me who it is?" ”

"Incense rafters, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but ......"

"And what? Suwen, what is the relationship between the two of us, you can't even believe me? ”

"That's not the case at all, how can I not believe you?"

"Then tell me who you admire?"

Su Wen saw the persistence of the incense rafters, and it was extremely difficult for a while.

Seeing this, the incense rafters felt quite uncomfortable, they were sisters, and besides, she was married, and she would not rob the man she fancied, what else was there to hide from her? "It's a shame that you're a good friend, but you're like this? Suwen, I'm uncomfortable. ”

"Incense rafters, I didn't mean that, don't misunderstand me......" Su Wen hurriedly explained.

The incense rafter still insisted on asking, "Then don't you tell me who I am, how difficult is this?" It's not easy for you to speak in front of grandma, I can understand, no matter how kind grandma is, it's also the master, and we can't forget our duty. But the two of us are on an errand together, and we have a friendship for more than half a year, so can't we say it to me? ”

Su Wen put the name of the person to her lips several times, but she couldn't open this mouth, "My good incense rafters, don't force me, okay?" I'll sue you later......"

Xiangrin is not a fool, she has said a lot of good things and bad things, Su Wen just refuses to reveal it, it is impossible to change before, she can only say that she loves that person and has a close relationship with her, or it is not suitable for her to know, so thinking about it, she suddenly brightened up, and said tentatively: "Is the person you like a bandit stone?" ”

The plain face was red again.

There are no three hundred taels of silver here, the hand of the incense rafters holding Su Wen is loose, the mind is messy, Su Wen actually likes the bandit stone, she used to look forward to it like this, but now it has become a fact, and she learned in a hurry that she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"When did you like him?"

She heard her own voice asking very softly, and knew that this was not good, after all, her husband was a bandit, and their husband and wife were getting along more and more harmoniously in all aspects, but there was still a slight pain in her heart.

When Su Wen heard the rafter's question, she knew that she couldn't hide it, so it was okay, her heart was more comfortable when she said it, and she looked at the gate of the South Park a little distantly, "Do you remember the night on the first day of the new year?" The firecrackers were going off at my feet, and he was pulling me to run, run, run, and run, and I don't know how he ran into my heart...... Trin Terrin, I didn't mean to lie to you, but I don't know how to say it? I think the person he likes is probably you......"

The incense rafter suddenly raised his head and glanced at Su Wen, for a long time, "In this way, it's understandable that you like him, he ...... Nice people......"

Messily said a lot of good things about bandits, and the incense rafters didn't know how she left Nanyuan, walking on this corridor, she beat her heart with her hand, and scolded herself in her heart, "You slut, what are you thinking, whether he is good or bad has nothing to do with you anymore, you have a husband, don't think about this man who doesn't belong to you, it's all over ......"

That's right, it's all over, it's useless for her to think about it, and if she thinks about it again, she's sorry for the bandits.

The incense rafters comforted their hearts and hurried out of the South Park.

This morning, Lin Long sat in the Jade Skin Shop for a while, and suddenly found that the number of customers had increased a lot, and the guys in the store were very busy, which was very different from the scene of being idle to death a few days ago.

"Sister, our business has been much better since yesterday, or sister, you have a way." Lin Qi couldn't hide his smile.

Lin Long knocked her on the head, "Okay, don't get into the eyes of money and can't get out." ”

"Okay, I got it." Lin Qi couldn't be idle in the end, so he soon went out to help.

Lin Long just shook his head and looked at Lin Lu's beside him, "Erniang, Qi'er will be in this store next year, let her come less in this store, we don't lack this bit of silver to live, Derong Yangong, let her study hard at home, don't marry her husband to make people laugh at that time." ”

Lin Lushi nodded, "I also have this intention, I have to find a way to bring her heart back in a way that she is interested in." ”

Lin Long looked at this issue, and she agreed with Lin Lu's opinion, "I'll find her an embroidery girl and a female teacher to teach her, but she can't go wild." ”

"That's all right." Lin Lu was busy responding.

Lin Long was about to discuss with his second mother, and as soon as the door curtain was lifted, he saw Ye Tian hurriedly coming in, "Nephew and daughter-in-law, I heard that you went to Fengshengde ...... yesterday."

"That's right, just passed, and went in for a walk." Lin Long smiled and got up to welcome the six aunts to sit down.

Ye Tian hurriedly asked her to sit down, "This matter is very troublesome, I watched the people outside come to watch this good show, otherwise what would they all do in our store?" By the way, will the boss come that week? ”

"We have nothing to lose if we come or not." Lin Long said for a long time, "Anyway, we have the upper hand in this matter, the more people know, the better, this is good for our store's business." ”

Ye Tian's thought about it was the same reason, "You still have a way, if you do it like this, I see who else is gossiping." ”

Lin Long smiled, "Then let's wait to watch the show." ”

Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders indispensably, and finally laughed out loud, anyway, it was the Jade Skin Fang that benefited, and nothing else mattered.

Lin Long thought that he would wait until the evening, and then the Zhou Dangjia would come to the door to apologize, but before noon, Zhou Dangjia would come over.
