Chapter Eighty-Eight: There's nothing you can't promise

Liao Wenqing is very annoying these days, very annoying. It was more difficult than he expected to marry the Lin family's lady. And the main obstacle comes from his mother-in-law, the current wife of the Liao family, Gao.

That day, he finally appeased the old lady and went to Qingshui Town, Lin Niangzi was about to say something to him, and the little girl ran in and said that Gao's illness was wrong.

No matter what the old lady's attitude was towards his marriage to Lin Niangzi, and no matter how uninhibited Liao Wenqing was, he still cared about his own mother, and when he heard that the old lady was sick, he didn't have time to listen to Lin Niangzi finish the matter, so he hurriedly said goodbye and rushed back to Anyang Mansion.

Liao Wenqing was anxious all the way, and before the car stopped at the gate of Liao's mansion, he jumped out of the car in one step, and hurried to the main courtyard with his clothes. Rushing into the main courtyard out of breath, he walked quickly to the door of the main house where the Gao family lived, Liao Wenqing stopped and asked the girl standing at the door: "How is Madame?" ”

The little girl bent her knees and said respectfully: "Back to the third young master, Mrs. has just taken medicine and rested." The lord and the uncle are in the house! ”

Uncle, that is, Liao Wenqing's eldest brother Liao Wenxuan, is the most obsessed with medical skills, in addition to reading medical books on weekdays, he goes to the Huichun Hall in Fucheng for consultation, and the family affairs have always been ignored...... Does this mean that the mother's condition is very serious?

Liao Wenqing's mind changed sharply, lifted the door curtain, and entered the house without waiting for the little girl to report.

When I entered the door and got used to the light in the room, I saw Liao Jiacheng sitting on the left side of the main seat, and the eldest brother Liao Wenxuan sitting on the first chair on the left side. Both father and son had solemn expressions and solemn faces, which made Liao Wenqing's heart even higher.

"Father, eldest brother ......" Liao Wen calmed his mind, took a few steps up to greet his father and eldest brother in a hurry, and immediately asked, "What happened to my mother?" ”

Liao Wenxuan snorted at him: "Do you still know how to care about your mother?" ”

Liao Wenqing choked in his chest, secretly regretting in his heart, he was in a hurry, why did he forget that the boss was the most old-fashioned and old-fashioned, and the most filial piety, why did he ask him alone! However, the eldest brother said so...... Does it mean that his mother's illness was caused by him?

Touching his nose and hiding the embarrassment on his face, Liao Wenqing turned his gaze to his father: "Father......"

Daddy knows his plans, and he is the only one in the family who agrees with him marrying Lin Niangzi, he doesn't expect Daddy to help him, but he also hopes that Daddy won't turn into a part of the resistance.

Liao Jiacheng's face was kinder than that of his eldest son, but he couldn't hide his worries.

The youngest son wanted to marry the widow of the Lin family, and he was the first to discuss with him, although he didn't want his son to marry a widow to enter the door, but the prescriptions that Lin Niangzi mastered, and the benefits that could be brought to the Liao family, were really attractive. As a businessman, he understands his son and supports his son's approach. It's just that as soon as he arrived at his wife, he couldn't help but think of his other identity - his father, especially in the face of his wife's questioning, questioning him if he wanted to exchange his son for medicine prescriptions for the prosperity of the Liao family...... He couldn't stand it.

Hearing the little son's call, Liao Jiacheng put down the teacup in his hand, lowered his eyes and coughed, and then said: "Your mother's illness is not serious, but there is some liver wind internal movement, which causes dizziness and ......dizziness."

As soon as he heard this, Liao Wenqing's eyes lit up, and he immediately interrupted: "Hey, the liver wind is moving internally, and I am dizzy, this disease is just right with our family's Luo Buma, isn't it just the right symptom?" Father, Na Luo Bu hemp tea has an excellent effect, the general liver wind is internal, and it has not yet caused stroke symptoms, it can be relieved after drinking for a few days, and it can be used as a substitute for tea for a long time. Luo Bu Ma has been on the market for two months, and those who drink Luo Bu Ma tea will no longer have repeated vertigo! ……”

Boom!

Liao Wenqing's excitement was interrupted by the heavy sound of the teacup slamming on the table.

He was stunned for a moment, and then turned his eyes to look at the angry eldest brother Liao Wenxuan.

Liao Wenxuan pointed at the third brother and scolded angrily: "Luo Buma, Luo Buma...... You dare to use a medicine that has just been on the market for two months? Hmph, I have searched all the books and herbs of the sages and doctors, and I have not seen any of this Luo Bu Ma recorded text, I really don't know, you are confused by something, you actually believe the wild words of a mountain village woman, and buy and sell this medicinal material that has not been confirmed by a good doctor, and you dare to use it for your mother...... If the woman gives you any croton or arsenic, saying that it can cure your mother's disease, I am afraid that you will have no objection, right? ”

"Big brother! That's it! Liao Wenqing didn't know how to be flexible because he understood his eldest brother's stubbornness, and he shouldn't have heard the sarcastic words just now. But he obviously proposed to use Luo Buma for his mother's good, but the eldest brother also blamed him, and even accused him of murdering his mother, and faintly accused the Lin family of being ignorant and vicious, which made him unable to bear it.

"My eldest brother has read more than me, and I believe that my eldest brother also knows that whether it is medical skills in history or materia medica, is it from the beginning? Hasn't it been accumulated after generations of doctors and pharmacists have slowly collected and verified? Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, so there is the foundation of today's medicine, although this Luo Bu Ma is not something I have personally tasted, but since the listing, only my rejuvenation hall has sold more than a thousand catties, how many people buy it back to replace the tea, all of which have proved that the effect is excellent, and countless doctors, pharmacists, and patients have recognized, is there anything that makes the eldest brother not at ease? Regardless of whether the younger brother is unruly and profligate, but he does not have the heart to murder his mother, I hope that the eldest brother will speak, it is better to be more than careful! ”

"You...... You...... Have you learned to disobey your parents and your brother? It's not enough for you to be angry with your mother, you have to ......" Liao Wenxuan was furious, but he didn't have Liao Wenqing's good eloquence, so he couldn't find anything to refute his younger brother, and after drinking a few times, he finally remembered a 'disobedience', and immediately questioned loudly.

"Ahem, that's enough!" Liao Jiacheng stopped his two sons, and said again, "Your mother has just rested, don't wake her up and disturb her again!" ”

Liao Wenxuan glared at Liao Wenqing unwillingly, snorted, and sat down with his neck crossed. Liao Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief, his expression couldn't help but decline, and he also sat down wilted.

Looking at the two sons who were originally quite pleasing to him, such a hostile appearance, Liao Jiacheng also had a headache. In his heart, Liao Wenxuan is obsessed with medical skills, and may be able to achieve great success in the future, but he is more inclined to make the Liao family's pharmaceutical business bigger and stronger. After all, no matter how high the medical skills are, they can't earn much status in this society, the doctor Langzhong is equivalent to a craftsman, the status is low, the imperial doctor who serves the royal family is the top existence of the doctor, and the highest Tai Hospital is just a six-grade petty official, and in people's minds, it can't drag out the impression of serving people.

Businessmen, of course, also have a low status, but there is no doubt that they do a good job in business and have good profits, and it is said that businessmen have a low status, but if they really have strong funds, how many things can not be bought by money? Not to mention anything else, the official titles of four or five grades can be donated for money. With a grade background, if you want to be real or still do business, advance and retreat at will, that is the best result that Liao Jiacheng wants.

The ancestor of the Liao family was born in Langzhong, and later concurrently ran the medicinal materials business, although after several generations of hard work, with today's family property, it is still too far to achieve the ideal of Liao Jiacheng. If there is no strong promotion, the Liao family wants to realize the ideal of government and business together, advancing and retreating freely, I am afraid that he will not be able to see it in his life, as he gets older and older, his three sons have not been able to inherit his ideal, and he was a little discouraged for a while. But just when he wanted to give up, the third Liao Wenqing got a new prescription, and after deliberation by several old men in the Rejuvenation Hall, they unanimously agreed that this is not complicated 'Poria Cocos Cream', the drug is perfectly compatible, and the monarch and the minister make the perfect tonic formula. What's even more rare is that 'Poria cocos ointment' is nourishing, but not greasy, peaceful in nature, and is most suitable for long-term tonic use by the elderly, weak women and children, without worrying about too much tonic and adverse reactions such as greasy and irritation. Soon, Huichun Tang launched the 'Poria Cocos Ointment' medicine, after a certain amount of operation, Poria Cocos Paste soon sold well, and became a rich and noble family in Anyang Mansion and even the entire Zhili Province, and the ladies and ladies and the old and weak vied to seek after the tonic products.

If it was just a dose of 'Poria cream', Liao Jiacheng might not care too much. But soon, Liao Wenqing brought a new drug of 'Luo Bu Ma' to calm the liver and quench wind, which can not only be used in decoction, but also can be used as a long-term substitute for tea, which is used to calm the liver and extinguish wind, prevent liver wind from moving internally, stroke, dizziness, and the effect is very significant;

Not long after 'Luo Bu Ma' unsurprisingly sold again, the third Liao Wenqing actually negotiated the supply of medicinal materials to the northern army!

Merchants are also divided into several ranks, and the first class is naturally the imperial merchant who is exclusively for royal purchase; Second only to the imperial merchants, there are military merchants who supply the army. Being able to become an imperial businessman and a military businessman can be said to be the ultimate dream of all businessmen. Becoming an imperial merchant and a military merchant not only means high profits, but more importantly, with the background of the royal family and the army, the originally low-status businessman also has his own solid political or military background, which is the dream of the businessman, which is more rare than any amount of profits.

The identity of this 'military businessman' is like a pie in the sky, which makes Liao Jiacheng ecstatic and can't believe it.

And, the key person who allowed the Liao family to get this 'military businessman' identity is still the Lin family lady that Liao Wenqing knows! A woman from a mountain village who was originally unknown is still a newly widowed woman!

Such a woman, Liao Jiacheng naturally wanted to include her in the Liao family, if it was just a concubine, and the old wife did not agree, he would also press his wife to nod. But the son insisted on marrying Mingmedia......

After pondering again and again, Liao Jiacheng still felt that he and his third son discussed it alone, and if they could persuade their son to take a concubine, they would all be happy.

So, Liao Jiacheng coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said to his eldest son: "Wen Xuan, your mother has taken the decoction and slept down, and her illness is not serious, you should go back to see a doctor!" ”

Liao Wenxuan frowned slightly, but still got up respectfully, and saluted his father: "Yes, father, if you have something to do, send someone to call your son!" ”

"Well, go ahead!" Liao Jiacheng responded gently, raised his hand, and watched his eldest son turn around and go out, without even looking at the third child, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This matter must be resolved quickly, otherwise, the old wife will fall ill, and the sons, who have always been harmonious, will also be affected by this and lose the harmony between brothers.

Turning his eyes back to look at his third son, Liao Wenqing also raised his head to meet his father's gaze, stabilized his nerves, got up and said, "Father, if you have something to say to your son, let's go to the study!" ”

Liao Jiacheng raised his eyes to look at the carved blue yarn cabinet in the middle of the room, sighed and nodded, got up, and took the lead in walking outside.

The father and son wanted to follow into the study, Liao Jiacheng sat on the top of himself, and Liao Wenqing was not formal, and sat down on the side of Liao Jiacheng.

Without waiting for Liao Jiacheng to speak, Liao Wenqing said first: "Father, the reason why the child wants to marry that woman is indeed for the prosperity of the Liao family; Second, it was also the son who admired and admired the woman, not just seeking profit as his mother said. Originally, the son wanted to marry the woman while she was not noticed, but he didn't expect his mother to be like this...... This delay is more than half a month, my Liao family suddenly got the army's medicinal materials business, I can't do it without hitting people's eyes, and after half a month, I can't say that even the woman's production of trauma medicine has already been investigated. If the mother still stops her like this, I am afraid that the woman will be remembered by someone who cares......"

With Liao Wenqing's narration, Liao Jiacheng gradually became frightened.

Yes, his pride and ambition have gradually faded over the years, and his thinking has long been less agile than when he was young, during this time, he was sandwiched between his wife and son and was sad, just thinking about how to persuade his wife and son to compromise and take the most haode result, but he just forgot that in addition to his Liao family, not to mention Zhili Province and even Daming Kingdom, just Anyang Mansion, there are also those who watched the rapid rise of the Liao family with red eyes and blood, those people watched the Liao family suddenly develop and make great progress, how could they not do their best to explore the reason, And this reason is not too difficult, the key - that Lin Niangzi, is like a treasure held by a child, without the power to protect herself, how can she not be coveted, and how can she not be tempted to snatch?

Lin Niangzi is a treasure, and his Liao family is the child who holds the treasure. However, the relationship between his Liao family and Lin Niangzi is only a cooperative relationship, and there is not even a subordinate relationship. If at this time, someone has the heart of coveting and snatching, no matter what means are used, to subdue the Lin lady, their Liao family does not even have the right to refute in the name of morality!

Seeing that his father's face gradually changed, Liao Wenqing also knew that his father had seen the crisis clearly.

Liao Jiacheng wants a quick solution, and Liao Wenqing, who sees it more clearly than Liao Jiacheng, wants a quick solution. If it was possible, he even wanted to make Lin Niangzi his wife Liao San immediately, in the next second.

As long as Lin Niangzi becomes his wife of Liao San, no matter how much someone thinks about it, they will have to worry about the Liao family! Even if you don't care about the Liao family, you have to worry about the northern border army behind the Liao family. Only then can he protect the woman's safety, of course, that woman has become Liao Sanniang, and naturally she will do her best to help the Liao family prosper.

Right now, the only one who stands in the way of him doing so is his mother, and the only one who can help him break through this obstacle is his father. Because he knew that if his father really made a decision, his mother would not be able to stop it. Mother doesn't really go against my father.

Liao Wenqing didn't wait for his father to answer, paused for a moment, and then said: "Father, although the woman was born in the countryside, she is not rigid or rude, and she sold Poria for a few taels of silver. A few days ago, I remember that my son mentioned to you that the woman had developed a medicinal wine to clean the wounds of the wounds, which, according to the woman, could prevent the wounds from collapsing. The most fatal result of trauma is the rout, and the medicine that can avoid the collapse of the trauma is the ...... Needless to say, the father also knows that it is no worse than healing medicine. Originally, the son also wanted to cooperate with the woman to run the business, even if it was still made by her Lin family, and we could send it to the military or sell it in Huichun Hall. But the woman did not do it, and persuaded her son not to do it. Father, do you know why the woman did not make the medicinal wine? ”

When Liao Jiacheng heard that the woman had given up making medicinal wine, and refused to let the Liao family make it, he was so angry that his eyebrows stood up and he was angry. However, after all, Liao Jiacheng has also been rolling in the business sea for half his life, although his mind has been worn out, and his thinking is not as sensitive as that of young people, but after all, it is not given in vain. The son who listened again actually learned to whet his appetite, and couldn't help but glare: "Hugh is playing with a grease mouth, if you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

As soon as he saw the old man like this, Liao Wenqing knew that the old man couldn't help but tease, and if he was so angry, he would never want to find a helper anymore, and he didn't dare to hang his appetite anymore, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile: "I know that I can't hide it from your old ...... Hehe, the woman said, "This medicinal wine is good, but it is not suitable for us to do, because we can't afford it!" ”

Liao Jiacheng squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, his eyes opened suddenly, staring at Liao Wenqing and said, "Wine!" Grain! What the woman meant was that the grain that was related to brewing was not something that ordinary merchants could touch! ”

Liao Wenqing immediately showed an expression of great admiration, gave a thumbs up and praised again and again: "Oh, if the ginger is still old and spicy!" I saw through the key to things at once! ”

As he spoke, just as the little maid brought hot tea, Liao Wenqing took the tea cup from the little maid's hand very doggedly and personally held it in his father's hand.

Liao Jiacheng took the teacup, tried to hide the pride in his heart, glanced at his youngest son, snorted, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then sighed lightly: "If it is really as you said, this woman is really not to be underestimated...... She really doesn't look like an ordinary mountain village woman......"

Hearing his father say this, Liao Wenqing sighed in his heart, and secretly said that he had added enough to the snake and exposed Lin Niangzi too much, would his father care about the woman being too strong, and he would take the lead of the Liao family if he entered the Liao family......

"Father, although the woman thought clearly, she was the most kind in her heart, and she took care of all the neighbors in the village, and one of the women next door took care of her during her illness, and after the woman began to fry Luo Bu hemp, she took the woman next door with her, and gave the woman next door a monthly payment of five taels of silver...... It's really gracious...... The son thought that the reason why the woman repeatedly came up with prescriptions to cooperate with us in the Rejuvenation Hall was because the Lin family was in trouble at the beginning, and the woman went to our Rejuvenation Hall to sell medicine, and happened to meet her son, who gave her the medicine she sold at a reasonable price, and took her 'Poria Ointment' prescription without hesitation...... She is thinking of the original love! ”

Liao Jiacheng frowned and listened carefully, and he was thinking about it quickly, but after all, he was worried about his wife's illness, if he forced his wife to agree to his son's marriage at this time, he was afraid that his wife's illness would worsen......

Seeing that his father was still hesitant and refused to agree, Liao Wenqing was so anxious that his heart was angry, but he could only reluctantly suppress it and continued to persuade: "Father, mother's side...... We can also hide it for the time being, after all, the woman's husband has just died, and it is not easy to talk about marriage before a year. Otherwise, let's go and propose marriage, and first settle the marriage...... Well, you must write a marriage letter, as long as the woman is willing to agree to the marriage and write the marriage letter, the matter is ...... Let's wait for the mother's condition to ease, and then slowly persuade the mother to be unreasonable, let her know the urgency of this matter, and the woman's virtuous lady, think about it, the mother will always agree. ”

Under the repeated persuasion of his son, Liao Jiacheng finally responded: "Well......"

"Father, did you agree? Haha, I, my son, will go to the official media, and immediately prepare a gift to go to Liu Jiaao to propose! ”

"Bastard!" Although Liao Jiacheng agreed, after all, he still had some pimples in his heart, and when he saw that his son heard that he had agreed, he was so happy that he seemed to be crazy, and he was angry and scolded loudly.

"Uh, father?" Liao Wenqing also noticed his gaffe, and hurriedly restrained his expression and listened respectfully, but he couldn't help but fly at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of his mouth couldn't hide his joy, which still made Liao Jiacheng feel dazzling.

"Hmph, look at your little talent, isn't it just a promise to marry you to a widow...... cough cough ...... "Liao Jiacheng originally thought about 'widow', but then he thought about it, since he agreed to his son's request to marry, no matter what happened in the past, the woman would marry back to her third daughter-in-law, how could any father-in-law casually comment on his daughter-in-law, the words came to his mouth, and he hurriedly swallowed again, and coughed twice to cover up, and then continued, "Although my father promised you to propose marriage, there is no matchmaker to prepare any gifts at the door?" At most, give the matchmaker some silver taels as errands...... Well, leave this matter to Huai'an! ”

Huai'an, the chief housekeeper of the Liao family, is in charge of the Liao Mansion's external entertainment, and if he teaches him to handle the matchmaker's affairs, it is not out of line.

However, Liao Wenqing still felt a little uneasy, but at this time, he would not refute his father's decision. At least not on the surface.

Respectfully saluting Master Liao, Liao Wenqing said with a smile: "What my father taught me is that it is my son who is wrong and out of proportion. The son went to Huai'an and went down according to his father's instructions! ”

Seeing his son's happy face was really dazzling, Liao Jiacheng also wished that he would quickly leave his eyes, don't be so eyesore, and don't say anything anymore, snorted coldly, and waved his hand.

Liao Wenqing took the opportunity to quickly quit the study and hurriedly went to the front yard to look for Huai'an.

Liao Jiacheng watched his son go out, couldn't help but stand up, and slowly paced to the door of the study, but only saw his son's figure hurriedly out of the courtyard door, a robe waved away in a flash, and he couldn't help but snort angrily: "I really married a daughter-in-law and forgot my mother, all of them have no conscience!" ”

After muttering, he suddenly realized that he looked like a boudoir woman, which was really boring, so he turned his eyes tastelessly, flicked his sleeves, and turned to go to the main room through the back door to visit his sick wife. The old wife was so angry with this stinky boy that she was still sick, and the kid happily went to the matchmaker to propose marriage, and he also comforted his wife a lot, so that his wife could relax and slowly accept this matter!

It is said that Liao Wenqing finally settled his father and came out in a hurry, but he did not completely hand over the matter to the big housekeeper Huai'an, but grabbed Huai'an, and went straight to the largest restaurant in Anyang Mansion: the guest is like a cloud.

Liao Wenqing went out, frankincense and myrrh and the two little guys automatically followed, the master and servant took Huai'an into the guest cloud, and asked for the most haode street private room on the third floor, Liao Wenqing didn't let Huai'an speak, and asked for wine and food one after another, and when the wine and food came up, Liao Wenqing personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huai'an.

Huai'an is not very old, he was a little girl who followed Liao Jiacheng at the beginning, five or six years younger than Liao Jiacheng, and now he is only in his early forties. But he has been a big housekeeper in Liao's mansion for more than ten years, and his ability to observe words and looks, and know the style of eyebrows and eyes, has already melted into his bones.

Seeing Liao Wenqing raise himself like this, he knew that Liao Wenqing had something to ask him for after all, but he would never let it go, so he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Third Young Master, do you have anything to say to the old slave to do, even if you command, don't dare to do this...... The old slave can't afford it! ”

"Uncle An, I grew up watching you grow up, but I treat you as my elder. Don't be an old slave, don't say it's me, the old man and the old lady have long regarded you as their own family, and if you say this again, you will be divided! Liao Wenqing said, stuffed the teacup into Huai'an's hand, pulled Liao Huai'an, pressed him to the seat, and sat down again.

Myrrh hurriedly stepped forward and poured tea for Liao Wenqing, Liao Wenqing had just been grinding with the old man at home for a long time, and after leaving the house, he ran wildly, he was really thirsty, took a few sips of tea, and then put down the tea bowl and said to Liao Huai'an: "Uncle An, I think you can see it, I won't spare the bend, I invite you here today, there is indeed a major event about the rise and fall of the Liao family......

Liao Huai'an's expression was grim, he put down the teacup in his hand, sat up straight and said respectfully: "The third young master doesn't have to be like this, as long as he can use the place of the old slave, the third young master can just command!" ”

Liao Wenqing nodded, eased his expression, and said, "Uncle An must have heard these days, I want to marry Anping's woman, but I have been dragging my ...... because of my mother's obstruction."

This matter is a matter of the master's privacy, and if others really don't admit to 'hearing about it'. The master didn't say or order, this 'heard', but there is a suspicion of privately criticizing the master, and the master doesn't care about it, this has to be taken care of, which is also the most important thing to be a slave.

However, Liao Wenqing's words are not interrogative sentences at all, what people say is very sure, it is completely a declarative sentence, and Huai'an really can't deny it. If he denied it, he made it clear that he was lying and lying.

After all, Huai'an has been a housekeeper for more than ten years, and this mind and adaptability have long been trained, so he immediately smiled and said, "But Mrs. agreed to the third young master?" ”

Liao Wenqing didn't care about Huai'an's careful thoughts, and sighed and said, "If my mother agrees, I don't need to come to you." Alas, although the mother did not agree, the father already agreed. It was also my father who said that you are calm and old-fashioned, so let me directly leave this matter to you. ”

"Yes, Huai'an listen, what does the master command, the young master just said."

"That's right, I discussed with my father, my mother is sick now, and it is not appropriate for her old man to worry about being tired, so I don't need to tell her about this matter first. Father's meaning is to let you go to the official media and go to Anping to propose marriage. No matter how much money you spend, be sure to ask the most haode matchmaker...... After all, the woman's mourning is not yet complete, and this matter of kissing can't be too reluctant with people, so I said it to the matchmaker, and now it's just a matter of kissing, fixing marriage, signing the marriage letter, and waiting for the woman's mourning period to expire, and then make a ceremony. ”

Huai'an responded respectfully: "Yes." The old slaves have written it down. ”

Liao Wenqing was still not at ease, and then instructed: "Uncle An, the sooner this matter is, the better, don't be afraid to spend money......

As he spoke, Liao Wenqing gave him a look, and Frankincense immediately took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Liao Wenqing with both hands.

"Uncle An, this is five hundred taels of silver, Uncle An takes it first, it's not enough, look for me at any time, you can't find me, anyone can find frankincense or myrrh. Be sure to find the most haode official media and tell her that you must be respectful and respectful when you go to propose marriage, and don't show your contempt and arrogance. Well...... Whatever the woman asked, let the matchmaker just agree...... Remember, as long as you agree to marriage, there is nothing you can't say yes. ”

Listening to Liao Wenqing say that regardless of the cost of money, Liao Huaian didn't care much, after all, Liao Wenqing entered the door in order to marry this legendary widow, and it was not a day or two to make a fuss, and his mother was angry, and he could still get the permission of the master. However, listening to the third young master's instructions, the more he listened, the more surprised Liao Huai'an became, at first he could barely cover himself, and when he heard Zuihou, 'There is nothing that can't be promised', Liao Huai'an was shocked, where can he hide it!

Before, when he heard that the third young master was making a fuss about marrying a widow, his first reaction was that the widow used means to lure him, and his own young master was stunned.

But now that it sounds like this, the third young master is like this, and the woman in the family is very likely to refuse to agree, and the third young master is still 'nothing that can't agree'...... This, this, that woman...... It's really hard to underestimate!

Before Liao Wenqing said something, he didn't say anything about others, even Liao Huaian himself had a trace of contempt and contempt for the widow in his heart, but after hearing the words of the third young master, he didn't dare to save the slightest trace of contempt and contempt.

At the same time, I also really realized that this job of proposing marriage is really a hot potato.

It seems that this proposal was not as smooth as he imagined before, and it was even likely to have quite twists and turns. Even if it was done with great effort, the woman agreed, and when she looked back, the lady knew that he had done it, and she was afraid that she would be indispensable.

However, Liao Huai'an also saw the situation clearly, this widow can make the young master pay so much attention, and it is bound to be an ordinary person. Looking at the three young masters in the house, the eldest young master is addicted to medical herbs, and the second young master is addicted to poetry and articles, only the third young master is the most courageous, although he is uninhibited, he is the most courageous, and in less than half a year, he has opened up a lot of business for the Liao family, and even made a business for the supply of medicinal materials for the border army. As soon as this business was completed, the Liao family's value immediately doubled, and no one dared to touch the Liao family easily in Anyang Mansion, Zhili Province, and even the six northern provinces. It can be yujian, and the days when the Liao family is prosperous and rich will not need to wait too long.

In this case, anyone with a little bit of eye can see that the head of the Liao family will basically be this third young master in the future. He, who is dependent on the Liao family for survival, listens to the orders of the current head of the family, and can tend to serve the will of the future head of the family, and do things, naturally spare no effort, and will not have too many scruples.

Liao Huai'an's mind was racing, and he bowed down and agreed, and finally said with some unease: "Third Young Master, you'd better explain it clearly, what can you agree to......"

Liao Wenqing glared, and finally smiled, patted Liao Huai'an's shoulder, pulled him to sit down, and said, "Uncle An, you are still so cautious...... Hehe, then I'll tell you about it. ”

"The woman had a pair of children, ahem, and a minor uncle...... She loves her children and uncles very much, presumably, even if she gets married, she is reluctant to leave it. If she wants to take the child and uncle, let the matchmaker agree and bring it over, and I will treat the child as my own child. Brother-in-law...... Let's just say that I will treat it like my own brother. Moreover, the woman was a businessman, and if she offered to make medicine, she would have promised her. Well...... If so, she offered to analyze the family property, and she earned money to give to the children, and promised her...... Well, I can't think of the rest for the time being, you just have to explain to the woman, except for letting me leave the Liao family and not my father's family, all other conditions depend on her! ”

Liao Huai'an listened to Liao Wenqing's fragmented and stumbling explanation, and he was troubled and frightened to listen! Except for the 'father and mother's relatives', they can agree to any conditions! Obediently, what kind of thing is that, it can make the third young master put down his body so much and ask to marry!

Wiping his sweat, Liao Huai'an repeated Liao Wenqing's instructions, Liao Wenqing listened carefully, there was indeed nothing missing, nodded, but immediately said: "Oh, you must tell the official media, first explain that Ming Media is marrying, and marrying in is the wife of the Liao family's third room, don't let her misunderstand!" ”

Liao Huaian naturally agreed again and again, he was going to find the official media, Liao Wenqing pulled him to let him eat some wine and food before going, and Liao Huaian couldn't bear it and said: "Since you are in a hurry, then don't delay any longer, please invite the official media, there are still some things to leave...... When the matter is done, the third young master will reward the old slave well! ”

Liao Wenqing is indeed impatient, and he also knows that inviting the official media is not as casual as inviting an ordinary matchmaker, and he has to go to the government to check the household registration of both parties, determine that the man is not married to the woman, and many other matters, so that he will receive the matchmaker certificate and go to the two sides to agree, which is also where the official media charges high fees, high grades, and looks formal and grand.

Liao Wenqing no longer forced Liao Huai'an to stay, smiled and personally sent him out, turned to the window facing the street, and watched him hurry to the back street of the mansion, then paced back and ate slowly.

Early in the morning, he rushed to Qinghe Town, and hurried back to Liaofu when he heard the news.

After taking two bites, I saw myrrh staring at the dishes on the table and swallowing saliva, so I couldn't help but smile and scolded: "Who do you look like to show you?" Hmph, your lord is in a good mood today, come and eat if you want to eat! ”

Myrrh was overjoyed when he heard this, bowed and thanked him, pulled frankincense and sat on the small stool, one person and a pair of chopsticks, and ate it in a hurry. Seeing that Liao Wenqing was counting for a while, he couldn't help but laugh again.

A major event that has been pressing on his heart for many days has finally moved away from the obstacles, and Liao Wenqing is really overjoyed.

He even began to think about it while eating wine and food, if Lin Niangzi became naughty, what great conditions would she put forward?

After thinking about it, he really couldn't think of it, so he simply made up his mind, as long as it was the conditions proposed by Lin Niangzi, he would just agree to it, and simply put it aside.

The three of them ate and drank happily, and did not return to Liao's Mansion until it was completely dark. Liao Wenqing already brought some alcohol, but he was still worried about whether Liao Huai'an's invitation to the official media was appropriate, and he entered his Qingli Courtyard, rubbed his dizzy head, and ordered the myrrh behind him: "Go, see if Uncle An has come back?" Ask how it goes. ”

Myrrh promised to trot away. Liao Wenqing turned around and took a step forward, retreated back, retreated straight to the outside of the courtyard, looked at the plaque on the lintel, frowned and pondered for a long time, before in the surprise of frankincense and the janitor, he shook his head and said: "Qingli Courtyard, the name Qingli is not good...... Well, it's changed, it's changed to Haiqing Garden! ”

This master remembered that one was one play, and he was still drunk and hazy at this time, and even the frankincense that reacted quickly and looked at the color of his eyes couldn't react a little, not to mention the mother-in-law who watched the door of Qingli Courtyard and the girls who came out when they heard the voice.

The first-class girl in Liao Wenqing's room, Peony, smiled and walked out quickly, supported Liao Wenqing and said: "Third young master, if you want to change the name of this courtyard, you are not in a hurry to do it at this time, it is late tonight, even if you take it out, the shop that made the plaque is also on the door panel, it is better to wait for Ming'er and let the boys take it off and change it." It's just a matter of one sentence, and you still need to wait for this time! ”

Liao Wenqing was happy in his heart, it was pleasing to everyone today, not to mention the personal girl who had been serving for many years, and he didn't feel disobedient, haha responded with a smile, leaned on the peony, and entered the house crookedly.

Entering the main room, the girls had already prepared hot water, Liao Wenqing was helped by the girl into the clean room to bathe, changed into a comfortable plain satin shirt, and walked out with half-dried hair, and most of the slight wine had woken up.

Another girl, Qingqiao, brought the tea and sent it up, Liao Wenqing took it and took a sip slowly, let out a long breath, handed the teacup to the girl beside him, spread out her hands and feet, and lay on her back on the chair, Peony took another dry cloth towel, and behind him, she gently dried his hair, and took a rhinoceros horn comb to slowly comb his long hair.

Peony was about to pull up Liao Wenqing's hair with a hairpin, but Liao Wenqing raised his hand and waved: "No need, I'm going to sleep!" ”

Peony hurriedly agreed, and put the hairpin and comb in her hand back into the box on the table.

"If I'm not mistaken, you and Qingqiao, Bai Wei, and Frost Leaf are not small, right? Well, you and Qingqiao are seventeen, Bai Wei and Shuangye will be sixteen after this year......" Liao Wen's faint voice came from behind Peony.

Peony's hand shook, and the comb and jasper hairpin in her hand crackled and fell to the ground. The rhino horn comb is not too brittle, but the jasper hairpin that is very transparent on the haode is broken into a few pieces!

Peony was startled, immediately knelt down, and pleaded again and again: "The slave maid accidentally ...... for a while."

Liao Wenqing sat up, looked at the person kneeling on the ground, wearing a begonia red dress, frowned slightly, and reached out to help her up.

Seeing that the hands stretched out and held his arms, Peony's face burned suddenly, and he hung his head in shame, but he couldn't help but want to take a look, just a look......

It's just that before she could look up, the slender, powerful but good-looking hands took it back without hesitation.

Peony's heart was cold, and she raised her head suddenly. The redness on her face had not subsided, but her eyes had already despaired--she saw a high-handsome promoted back, without any nostalgia or retrospection.

"I haven't spent much time at home in the past few years, but I have been negligent, and when you reach your age, it is time to find you a suitable person...... Well, you go down and ask the three of them, you can stay in the house, or you can go home and hire yourself, discuss it, take it and pay attention to come back to me. Go down, don't wait! ”

Peony stalked his neck and inhaled a few breaths vigorously before he suppressed the sadness and despair that was surging up, but he still couldn't control his body trembling slightly, barely controlled his voice, and squeezed out a word from his throat in a low voice: "Yes!" ”

Then, stiffening, hunching, slowly, with an effort to control his trembling and weak legs, he withdrew from the main room in the posture of a servant girl, step by step.

When he returned to his room, he closed the door with a sigh of relief, and the peony leaned against the door and went limp down.

How many years of careful service, how many years of ardent expectation...... It's empty!

Liao Wenqing waved the girl away, he didn't care about them at all, his expression was relaxed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly tilt and pull the quilt to sleep.

He didn't think about it at all, and he crossed his mother's checkpoint first, and what he was thinking about at this time was just waiting for Lin Niangzi to be hired and married.

Yes, a good night's sleep.

However, things are far from being as simple and smooth as he imagined.

Early the next morning, after he washed up, he sat down in the hall, and the little girls immediately came up with food boxes and put four dishes on the table, rouge goose breast, sake lees duck tongue, stuffed chicken melon, crystal pagoda dishes; Four dim sum, mille-feuille shortbread, three buns, three fresh vegetarian steamed dumplings, goose fat flower rolls; There is also a porridge, which is duck shredded lily porridge.

Liao Wenqing ate a three-ding bun, took a sip of Qingqiaosheng's porridge, and a little girl reported at the door: "Third young master, frankincense is at the door, saying that there is something to go back." ”
