Chapter 228: Weak Legs
The reaction of the Zhong family can only be described as dumbfounded.
An Ruolan couldn't quite say what she felt in her heart after all, if she had to say it, maybe there was a little bit of anger that was hidden?
But in general, she was happy to have a familiar helper.
Compared with her joy and happiness, Zhong Erye's mood is not so wonderful, it is simply irritable like thunder.
He sneered again and questioned sharply: "I have never heard of any junior brothers in the fourth child, I only know that Meng Sanshao and An Ruolan are cousins!" ”
This led the topic to An Ruolan again.
Second Master Zhong broke the jar and broke it, since An Ruolan clenched on and refused to give him any benefits, then he wouldn't let her have a good time!
An Ruolan opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to justify.
Not to mention Second Master Zhong, even she herself is a little unbelievable, she has never heard her father-in-law say that there is a junior brother.
Uncle Zhong frowned and fell into contemplation, and finally found a connection between his fourth brother and Meng Sanshao.
He Jin, He Yun, He Ji......
Chewing on these words over and over in his mouth, he seemed to have found the answer.
looked up at his father, but saw that his father looked as usual, and he was afraid that he already knew about it.
In this way, Uncle Zhong didn't talk any more.
As for Zhong Sanye, he has never had any right to speak, and from beginning to end, he has not opened his mouth to express any opinions.
Seeing that An Ruolan had no way to refute, Second Master Zhong looked a little proud, and he shook his sleeves. It's like a winner.
Mr. Yi glanced at his arrogant appearance, pursed his lips and smiled, and said gently: "If only Second Master Zhong could know about the Fourth Master's affairs." I think that the fourth master will not be called 'He Ji' and handed it over to the young owner to take care of. ”
The tone is warm and kind, but the meaning is straightforward and stinging, implying that Zhong Erye and Zhong Siye are not close, so they will know nothing about Zhong Siye.
Zhong Erye was stabbed so that his face turned red, just now he was whining, didn't he just want to express that he was with the fourth parent, and now this surnamed Yi said such things. Isn't it just insinuating and scolding him for just pretending to act!
He couldn't help but be annoyed. Pointing at Mr. Yi and scolding: "Let go of your mother's shit!" Which eye do you see that I am not close to the fourth child, but we are brothers of the same mother! ”
Hearing this, Master Zhong frowned in displeasure, slapped the table and shouted: "Who taught you to be so vulgar." Foul language?! It's just a loss of face for my Zhong family! ”
Second Master Zhong's neck shrank, and then he remembered that his father was still sitting on it, and he was busy looking at his mother for help.
Mrs. Zhong loves her youngest son the most, but she has always felt guilty about her depressed second son, thinking that she ignored him and treated him badly, so that he has nothing to do now, and it is this guilt. Let her always maintain and indulge her second son.
Yes, when she heard her husband reprimanding her second son, she immediately defended it: "The second child has always been quick to speak. Even if you say the wrong thing occasionally, it's unintentional, why do you scold him? ”
Remembering that her husband was partial to outsiders and did not let the second son take over the property of the fourth son, she snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for those who talked with guns and sticks." provokes the feelings of the second brother and their brother, and the second child will not lose his temper. ”
"That's it. Mother is right, father, I will only lose my words when I am angry. Second Master Zhong immediately echoed his mother's words.
Hearing this, Mr. Yi didn't laugh angrily, straightened his sleeves, and said comfortably: "It's a coincidence, like Second Master Zhong, he is also a fast-talking person, and because he was insulted, he is also very angry now. ”
He put on a posture, a posture of wanting to fight the powerful man, but this weapon is two mouths.
Old Lady Zhong was so angry that her face turned blue.
An Ruojin covered her lips and snickered, An Ruolan smiled bitterly on her face, worthy of being the people under her father-in-law, they are all gentle, elegant and noble, but this cheek is as thick as the city wall.
His wife's self-inflicted humiliation made Master Zhong helpless, but he couldn't sit back and watch his wife make a fool of himself, so he had to cough lightly and said: "What Mr. Yi said is true, the third young master of Meng Guofu is indeed the junior brother of the fourth, and the fourth brother mentioned this matter to me." ”
"Did the fourth child mention it to you? Father, you know about this?! Second Master Zhong shouted, extremely dissatisfied with his father's concealment, making him ugly, and being humiliated by outsiders.
Master Zhong glanced at him coldly, immediately understood his thoughts, and said coldly: "If you weren't picking thorns everywhere, who would deliberately target you?" ”
The implication is that you brought it all upon yourself!
Second Master Zhong was full of resentment, and finally couldn't help but throw his sleeves away angrily.
Seeing that her husband was gone, Mrs. Zhong didn't stay any longer, and then went out of the threshold.
Seeing this, Mr. Zhong slapped the table angrily, thinking that his four sons, the eldest and the third and fourth are all good, but the second is only talented, if he can't, he has a crooked heart, he just can't help him!
Mrs. Zhong wiped the corners of her eyes again, beat her chest, and cried miserably: "My poor son, one of you went to sea and your whereabouts are unknown, and the other is full of white eyes at home, I knew that you would suffer so much, and my mother would not have given birth to you to suffer!" ”
Master Zhong, who was already angry, was even more annoyed when he heard this, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged, Uncle Zhong knew that his father was angry, and he hurriedly persuaded him: "Father, it is important to deal with business now." He was also very helpless and embarrassed about his mother's loss of his father's face regardless of the occasion.
Master Zhong still has some sense, so he calmed down when he heard the words, and said: "Just do what the fourth child wants, if anyone has any opinions, just tell me directly." ”
The hall was silent, and seeing the lesson of Second Master Zhong, the juniors of the Zhong family did not dare to speak.
Uncle Zhong pondered it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "I have no opinion on Sister Lan'er taking over the fourth industry, but I have one condition, I hope that Sister Lan will move out of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion after taking over the 'He Ji'. ”
He is ambitious in the court, and he doesn't have much idea about the fourth brother's industry, but he still remembers An Ruolan's surname is An, and the old marquis of the An family is not a good type. Since the Zhong family can't profit from it, he doesn't want the An family to dictate the fourth brother's industry.
Master Zhong suddenly realized, patted his head and said, "That's how it should be." "Look at him and he's all confused.
Uncle Zhong's concerns are natural and necessary, An Ruolan can fully understand, she agreed: "I am willing to move out of the Hou Mansion." ”
"I am willing to move to Zhongfu for a while until my stepfather returns." Just when she wanted to say this sentence to show her sincerity, Mr. Yi suddenly intercepted her words and said with a smile: "Qianxunju has a lot of yards, and the fourth master will go over to live in a small place when he is busy on weekdays. ”
An Ruolan's heart jumped, and he glanced at the expressions of Master Zhong and the others, and was embarrassed: "But ......"
It is necessary to guard against the An family, but is it really good to guard against the Zhong family so obviously?
She looked at Mr. Yi and asked with a full face.
Mr. Yi smiled slightly, turned to Master Zhong and Uncle Zhong and asked, "What do Master Zhong and Uncle Zhong think?" ”
Master Zhong and Uncle Zhong exchanged a look and nodded secretly.
If there was no farce of Fang Cai, they would definitely be angry, but thinking of Second Master Zhong's virtue, if An Ruolan really lived in the Zhong family, I am afraid that he would not be at peace, thinking like this, they did not hesitate to bow their heads and said: "There is no problem." ”
Mrs. Zhong opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw that her husband and eldest son had already nodded in agreement, she had no choice but to swallow the objection back to her mouth and sulk alone.
Mr. Yi politely bowed his hand to Master Zhong and Uncle Zhong, and said sincerely: "Thank you Master Zhong and Uncle Zhong for your understanding." ”
Master Zhong sighed and said, "You're welcome, it's also a fulfillment of the fourth child's wishes." ”
The fourth child's current situation is more auspicious and less auspicious, to put it mildly, if the fourth child is really gone, his last hope is his last wish, how he has to complete it for him.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhong sobbed in a low voice again.
When the goal was achieved, Mr. Yi was about to say goodbye and leave, and he said to An Ruolan: "Please also ask the young owner to go back to the Hou Mansion to pack his luggage, and his subordinates will pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”
An Ruolan bowed his head and said respectfully: "There is Mr. Lao." ”
As for whether she can take care of the shop of "He Ji" in the future, she is not worried, since her father-in-law has arranged it so thoroughly, it is not difficult for her to take care of it.
The only thing she worries about now is the whereabouts of her stepfather. It is now the seventh year of Hongqi, and there are still three years left before the time when the father-in-law opened up the sea trade route in the previous life, if the fate moves forward according to the trajectory of the previous life, the father-in-law will not have an accident, but the problem is that she can't be sure whether the fate of the father-in-law has been changed by her.
She hated her loneliness a little, if she had listened more to outside things in her previous life, she might have been able to know if such a thing had happened in her previous life, and whether her father-in-law had returned safely.
There was also a fear in her heart, she was worried that it was because of her proximity that her stepfather had this encounter.
However, she could not pour out this fear and anxiety to anyone, except for silent prayer, she could only wait.
In the unfriendly eyes of most of the Zhong family, An Ruolan and An Ruojin left the Zhong Mansion together.
The moment she got into the carriage, An Ruolan collapsed directly on the cushion, snorting and panting, An Ruojin was so frightened that she hurriedly patted her back smoothly, her movements were extremely gentle, and she scolded at the same time: "How can you be so hard, just let Zhong Erye take advantage, your father-in-law will not blame you, you didn't toss yourself into the demeanour." ”
"I'm fine, but my feet are very soft." After relieving herself, An Ruolan showed a tired and weak smile.
She thinks she has a tough heart and is strong enough to be on her own, but she doesn't want to be too tender, she can only say that she has seen and heard too little in her previous life, and she has not experienced strong winds and waves.
An Ruojin couldn't help but smile at her, "It's right to have soft legs, if you don't have soft legs, I'm wondering, how can a girl in the boudoir be so calm and bold." ”
"Sister Jin, don't bury me." An Ruolan smiled helplessly.
Anyway, the results were good. (To be continued) R655
