Tian Liang, Nalan and Mr. Chen took the carriage and went to Chen Ruiqian's cloth village to deliver cloth. The big business counter of the guy in Ruiqian Buzhuang was facing the door, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Tian Liang and Nalan were helping Mr. out of the car. hurriedly said to Rui Qian in the back room: "Shopkeeper, the second master is here." He said that he went out first.

Rui Qian greeted him, and several guys in the store also came out, just as Tian Liang and Nalan were carrying the cloth down with the handlebar style of the car, they all reached out to help.

When they arrived in the back room, Ruiqian settled his uncle and sat down, giving up his seat to Tian Liang and Nalan, but neither of them refused. The gentleman said, "You two sit down, and I can't speak well when I stand like this." ”

Tian Liang and Nalan had to sit on a bench.

"I don't know if the last time I sent you a good sale, so I brought you a few more." Mr. said.

"It's been sold out a long time ago, and my nephew is embarrassed to go to the house, thinking that there are only so many."

"Just sell it, what's so embarrassing."

"Uncle, this is the account of the last few pieces of cloth that my nephew sold, and it is slightly higher than the price you gave. People who buy cloth like this kind of wide fabric, saying that it is very economical to go back to the sleeve of the cloth, and it is strong and does not fade, and there are already repeat customers. There are also people who want to buy goods from their nephews and sell them themselves. ”

"You can't buy goods, the prince is selling them here for you, and there are other varieties to see the effect of selling goods."

"Yes, yes, my nephew understands. You settled the last account first, and this time you have to open a separate account. ”

"You're doing the right thing, let's settle the last account and talk about family affairs. Didn't you say you had something important to say to your uncle when he came? ”

"Yes, but my nephew is hesitant to say it or not."

"Don't babble, just talk about it later."

"Yes, these are the total income, and you don't know how to divide it among your nephews, so ......"

"It's divided according to what I said last time. It stands to reason that the profits of cloth are all one percent of the profit, that is to say, the other ninety percent is the capital. But the prince only kept half of the capital, and the other half was divided into ten parts. Among them, there are 50% for the saint, and the remaining 50% is 20% for you, and these two percent include the man. The other thirty percent are kept by the prince in case of any natural disaster, he has to buy some food in advance to prepare, and give porridge to the victims. Because it was ready-made cloth, it was sold directly, and there was no remuneration for the processors, and it was used as money for disaster relief. ”

"The prince is really benevolent enough, and he knows everything so well. The nephew still wants to be a good one. ”

"Then according to what I said last time, you keep half of it. The prince has always been wise, and he is very thoughtful in everything. By the way, your sister Yun said that your daughter-in-law and daughter can also participate in making cloth art, and your mother's eyes can also do it if they can. When the time comes, they will pay for the processing, and it will have nothing to do with your cloth. ”

"Uncle, you're full of strange things. What is fabric? ”

"It's delicate needlework, such as making sachets, purses, etc., it's better than the soles of shoes, right?"

"Okay, okay, the women of the three generations in my nephew's family are all experts in needlework."

"Okay, next time Uncle brings you some materials and samples, and they can do it. Although you are a cloth village here, it doesn't seem to be off-topic to sell cloth art, right? ”

"Cloth is also made of cloth."

The accounts were quickly calculated, Ruiqian's share was left directly, and the silver that belonged to the house was all packed in a tanning bag given by Yun'er, and the guy came to send tea, and Ruiqian first gave Tian Liang Nalan a cup of tea for each person. These two are even higher in rank than their uncles. Now it's time to talk about the important things.

Tian Liang and Nalan said to Mr., "Your uncle and nephew are chatting slowly, and the two of us will wait for you in the car." ”

Rui Qian stopped them: "Why do you two see each other like this?" The eldest brother said that he had something important to tell his uncle, but he didn't say anything secret. It's not good for you to avoid it like that. In fact, the eldest brother knew that the family members of the Tian guards were the fish girls next to Sister Yun, and the family members of the Nalan guards were the later Shui'er girls. The girl came early, and the uncle and aunt regarded the girl as their own daughter, so the guard Tian was also the brother-in-law below. Miss Shui'er also serves Sister Yun closely, so the Nalan guards are also brothers-in-law. Brother-in-law is naturally his own family, so you can't see each other like this. If you're afraid that you won't talk about it, big brother. The eldest brother is worried that his uncle may be irritated when he hears it, don't you worry to me? ”

When the two of them heard that they really couldn't leave, they still sat on the stool.

"What's important? Mysterious and mysterious? ”

"It's not mysterious, it's my nephew who is afraid that you may not be able to stand it if you hear it."

"Your uncle and I'm so vulnerable?"

"No, my nephew has been hesitating for days. The last time you came, I wanted to say it, but I was afraid that it would irritate you, so if I didn't say it, I was sorry for you. ”

"Is it that serious? You don't seem to be such a squirming person, do you? Is something wrong with the old mansion in Kaifeng? Is your third grandmother and fifth grandmother sick or ......?"

"No, no, it's not that kind of thing. Father's elder follower Chen Wang, do you remember your old family called the fourth brother? Is it Chen Wang, whose nephew calls him the fourth master? ”

"Remember, he served your father for decades, and he was a rare and loyal servant, seventy years old, right?"

"Seventy-two. A few days ago, the fourth master came to his nephew's residence to look for his nephew, and as soon as he entered the house, he cried. said that the housewife thought he was old and useless, so he asked him to go back to his hometown in Kaifeng. Isn't this driving him out of the house? After instructing for a lifetime, he was thrown out when he was old, I really don't know how Yang's mother could bear to do this. The four masters have been singles all their lives, and they have no children and no daughters, who will they take refuge in their hometown? The third grandmother and the fifth grandmother are both in their eighties, how many years can they take care of him? The others have never seen the fourth master, can they try their best to take care of him? The nephew thought that he had been loyal and dedicated to his father all his life, and wanted to support and be filial to him, so he didn't want to go back to Kaifeng, so he arranged a place for him to live. The nephew made some food and drinks to comfort him, who knew that he would get drunk after just a small drink. Said something that scared my nephew. ”

"What's the matter, tell me quickly."

"He said that the child that Yang's mother lost was not her own son, yes, yes......"

"You've always spoken crisply, how do you slurp and spit out?" The gentleman was in a hurry.

"My nephew said that I am afraid you will not be able to stand it."

"Does this have anything to do with my uncle? Say, my uncle's dumb son died young, and my uncle survived? ”

"No, my nephew wants to tell you that your deaf and dumb son is not your own, but born to Yang's mother, she thinks that she has no face for giving birth to a deaf and dumb son, and is afraid that her father will divorce her because of this, you also know that she was forty years old when she gave birth to her son, and I am afraid that there is no hope for regeneration, so I will use her deaf and dumb son to replace your son. The child she lost was yours and your aunt's. ”

"What!" It was as if a scorched thunder had exploded on his head, and he stumbled and fell back. Tian Liang and Nalan were fast, and they were able to hold them up.

The gentleman's face was pale and bloodless, and he said tremblingly, "You go on, I can stand it." ”

"Uncle, it's all nephews who are not good, and you shouldn't mention this sad matter."

"Go on."

"What do you want your nephew to say? The deaf child died, and your own son was lost. ”

"Blame me, blame me! It's all my fault! When your aunt gave birth, I was tutoring students who were going to Beijing to take the exam, and it was raining. Your aunt has three days to give birth, and your uncle thinks ...... I thought it was okay, who would have thought that femme fatale woman had taken advantage of the loophole! While I'm not at home, I changed my child! ”

As he spoke, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell unconscious. This frightened Ruiqian, Tian Liang and Nalan. Tian Liang said: "Brother Chen, you are familiar with whether there is a good man in this area, please go and please!" The two of us are here to take care of sir. ”

"Okay, it's all my fault, I said it too quickly. I'm going, you guys put your uncle on the bed. He hurried out.

Tian Liang and Nalan slowly helped Mr. to the bed where Ruiqian was resting, lay down, and covered the quilt. He poured another glass of water and called softly, "Sir, sir?" Are you feeling better? ”

The gentleman exhaled a long breath and opened his eyes.

"Sir, Young Master Chen went to invite Lang Zhong, you wait a minute, or do you want to drink saliva?" Come, Nalan and the two of us will help the gentleman up and drink saliva. ”

"Thank you, thank you both."

"Sir, why have you been so polite? Didn't you say that? Yu'er is your own daughter, and your subordinate is your own son-in-law, isn't it? Your subordinates and Nalan are your juniors, and we are members of a big family. ”

The gentleman was very moved, and there were tears in his eyes: "How do you say that my father is a man?" My son lost it for more than 20 years and didn't know it! ”

"How can I blame you for this? You are a kind-hearted person, and you never thought that your loved ones around you would harm you. ”

"Yes, yes, Yang is the old man's sister-in-law, although she is a little short-tempered, but who would have thought that she could do such a thing?"

"Lang Zhong is here, Lang Zhong is here, how is my uncle?" Rui Qian came in sweating. He really regretted it. I didn't expect my uncle's reaction to be so big.

Lang Zhong is a middle-aged man, very calm, after slowly taking the pulse, he said to Ruiqian: "It's okay, it's okay, this gentleman is stimulated for a while, and he is angry and angry, and the old man will prescribe two doses of medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and he will be cured in a few days." ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you."

"Okay, the shopkeeper Chen hurriedly went to grab the medicine, and after eating the old man's medicine bag, he was fine, and said goodbye."

"Sir, this is the consultation fee."

"Thank you, thank you."

Ruiqian gave Mr. a silver bill of two taels. That's high enough, if only the poor were enough for the whole family to live on for a month.

"Uncle, how are you? Why do you scare your nephew so much? It doesn't matter to you, right? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's urgent, and it's worrying."

"It's no wonder that my nephew is too impatient."

"You kid, it's good to tell your uncle about this. Why didn't you say it earlier? ”

"It was the fourth master who told his nephew recently. It doesn't matter to you, right? ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, it's going to be much better. When you think about it, maybe it's a good thing. The deaf child died, and there was no hope. Although my son is lost, as long as he is alive, he may be able to find it. I'll come back and talk to Chen Wang in detail, maybe we can find some clues about that kid. ”

"Yes, yes, my nephew just thinks that you are the one who solves the case, maybe you will get your brother back. If he was still here, he would have been twenty-five or sixteen years old, right? ”

"I think I'm twenty-six years old. Birthday on the eighth day of February. ”

Tian Liang smiled and said: "My subordinate is the fifth day of the second month, and I am three days older than your son." Why don't you be your son? It's that his subordinates have no ink on their chests, and I'm afraid they don't deserve it. ”

"If the old man is a son like Arida Guard, what kind of incense will he burn in his life? You are Yun'er's life-saving benefactor. ”

After resting for a while, seeing that Mr. was much better, he and Nalan hurriedly escorted Mr. back to the house. The car arrived at Mr.'s residence, and Tian Liang carried Mr. upstairs on his back.

But Mrs. Chen was frightened: "What's the matter, ah?" How did you go on foot and come back on your back? Ryoko, Nalan, what's going on? ”

"It's okay, Mrs. Chen, Mr. is ......" Tian Liang couldn't make up a lie. He has practiced Taoist kung fu, Taoism is a cultivation of truth, strict requirements for disciples, tell the truth, do real things, and be a real person.

Nalan hurriedly relieved Tian Liang: "Mr. and Young Master Ruiqian are happy, they drank a little more wine, it's okay." ”

"Drunk? Why doesn't it smell of alcohol at all? ”

"After drinking the decanting soup, you can rest assured. The subordinates had other things to do, so they took their leave. After saying that, Nalan fled, and he was not good at telling lies.

Tian Liang was not at ease and did not leave. He's not the same as Nalan. Mr. and Mrs. are the benefactors and elders of Yu'er, who were raised by them, and are equivalent to their other daughters. Tian Liang is their son-in-law, and their daughter Rui'er was also taken care of by Mrs. Chen. Can he leave if his father-in-law is sick?

"Ryoko, are you okay? If you go and get busy, I'm fine. You give the medicine to Madame, and I'll take it when it's ready. Maybe the prince is looking for you, don't delay the business. ”

"It's okay, my subordinates help my wife boil medicine. You don't know, when his subordinates followed the Emei Daoist to cultivate, he often collected medicine for alchemy, I am his disciple, so naturally I want to boil medicine, and my subordinates' efforts in boiling medicine will not be lower than that of Mrs. Chen. ”

"Thank you, you're such a good boy."

"I said, sir, what's the matter with you? Did you grab the medicine at Ruiqian? "Madame's personality is very similar to Yun'er, but her temper is not rough. The problem was immediately apparent. Tian Liang was sweating: How would Mrs. Chen answer when she asked? You can't tell a lie, and you can't tell the truth. If Mrs. knew that her son had been replaced or lost, she would have reacted more than Mr. So the thirty-six plans went to the top. By boiling medicine to talk about things:

"Mrs. Chen, my subordinates have gone down to boil medicine, and after boiling it, I will give it to Mr.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, I'm here to watch him."

After Tian Liang slipped away, Mrs. Chen wanted to interrogate her husband carefully, but when she saw that her husband had closed his eyes, she didn't know whether he was asleep or awake, so she didn't want to disturb, so she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her husband.

This is a very outstanding man, a very low-key man, a man who is rich and rich, a man who is self-disciplined and self-reliant, and a man who is wise and benevolent......

It has been twenty-seven or eight years since he got married, and this man has not done anything out of the ordinary. Even if he had no sons, there was no sign of a concubine, and no one said that he had a woman outside. He spent most of his life learning.

What is it that makes him so entangled? I left happily and came back with the medicine bag. What's going on out there? Nalan and Tian Liang were both flickering, there must be something hiding from them!

Mrs. Chen's heart was also very entangled.
