Chapter 536: Redemption
"My dad?" An Rong was stunned.
Xiao Zhan sat down, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile, "Is there a more suitable candidate than my father-in-law?" ”
Whether it is identity or qualifications, Hou Ye can be qualified for the position of head of the family.
More importantly, this is the best opportunity for the Marquis of Wu'an and the Shen family of Qizhou to turn the war into a jade silk.
Otherwise, relying only on Shen Hanchuan, the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the Shen family in Qizhou have always been incompatible.
Today's Wu'an Hou Mansion has the support of Xiao Guogong's Mansion and Zhou Taifu's Mansion, if the Shen family in Qizhou wants to turn over and want long-term development, it is the wisest choice to let Wu'an Hou Mansion be a backer.
Xiao Zhan thought that the Shen family in Qizhou would not be stupid enough to be the enemy of the Marquis of Wu'an.
"Just, will my dad agree?" An Rong asked, twisting his brows.
Xiao Zhan nodded his head.
"Yes."
An Rong shrugged his shoulders lightly and said with a smile, "If you think it's good, my father will agree, and I'll just look at it." ”
An Rong didn't know that Shen Hanchuan was already on his way back to the Shen family in Qizhou.
After he went back, the Shen family in Qizhou was still quarrelling, everyone wanted to be the head of the family, and it was difficult for anyone to convince the public.
Shen Hanchuan stood up and pushed Hou Ye out.
After some discussion, everyone unanimously felt that it was the most suitable choice to let Hou Ye be the head of the Shen family in Qizhou, but the premise was that Hou Ye did not hold grudges.
No, the Shen family in Qizhou discussed and discussed, and finally decided to let the two old men with the highest prestige in the clan come to Beijing in person after a long journey, and asked Hou Ye to be the head of the family.
They even had the idea of moving the Qizhou Shen family into Kyoto, if it had been before. That's not going to happen.
But now, the mansion of the Shen family in Qizhou was burned, and overnight, the Shen family in Qizhou suffered heavy losses, and it was extremely difficult to gain a firm foothold in Qizhou and return to the old days.
In addition, if Master Hou were to be the head of the family, he would definitely not live in Qizhou, the mountains and rivers would be far away. It's also inconvenient to manage.
Again. In Kyoto, it will develop faster, and the future of the Shen family in Qizhou will be better.
In fact, those juniors of the Qi family have no grudges with the Hou Mansion of Wu'an. Back then, it was indeed the Shen family in Qizhou who was too affectionate. They were also ashamed. It's just that because Shen Zulang's grandfather is in power, he dares to be angry and dare not speak.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
Let's talk about Shen Zulang. At the beginning, he entered Qiongshan Academy to study with great ambition, and wanted to use the power of Zhuangwangfu to seek to seize the Wu'an Hou Mansion with the second master.
But he didn't expect that he calculated and calculated, but made wedding clothes for others.
The troubled family is ruined, like a lost dog.
Hearing the news that his parents and brothers were killed, Shen Zulang was stupid at that time.
How could he accept such a painful and tragic consequence?
Regretting his heartache, the first thing he did was to burn the tree that hung with Young Master Ao and gave him an opportunity to take advantage of it to ashes.
The second thing I did was to dig up General Ao's grave to vent my anger.
General Ao's tomb is a monument erected by the county lord of Xirou for him.
It's just that although others die, the hatred is still there.
Shen Zulang whipped the corpse to vent his anger.
That day, the night was very dark and it was raining heavily.
Looking at Shen Zulang who was whipping and whipping, Du Zhong went over to grab him and roared, "A person's death is like a lamp going out, if you crush him to ashes, he can't feel it!" ”
Shen Zulang knelt on the ground, "I killed my father, my mother, and Yulang......." ”
Du Zhong pulled him up and roared the same, "It's not your fault, it's the prince of Jingbei, it's him!" It's Xiao Guogong's Mansion! ”
If it wasn't those people who got in the way, how would General Ao know that it was Shen Zulang who harmed Young Master Ao?
The original seamless calculations were all ruined in their hands!
It was they who harmed Shen Zulang's family, not Shen Zulang!
Originally, Shen Zulang regarded General Ao as an enemy, and if he could kill the enemy with his own hands, he would feel better in his heart.
But General Ao died, a day or two earlier than his father!
How can he not hate?!
Du Zhong's words rekindled the anger in his heart.
He wants to personally slaughter Lian Xuan, destroy the Wu'an Hou Mansion, and use their blood to comfort his parents' souls in the sky!
Du Zhong helped Shen Zulang to leave, and before leaving, he instructed the human, "Clean up General Ao's grave, don't let people see the clues." ”
Because General Ao was buried in the ancestral grave of the Ao family, very few people came, and no one knew what Shen Zulang did.
Even Xuan didn't know that someone hated him and vowed to skin him and light the sky lantern.
He's leisurely taking Buda and asking for debts everywhere.
No, coming out of Zhao's mansion, Lian Xuan counted 30,000 taels of silver tickets, and smiled from ear to ear.
Buda patted his ass on the side and said, "Master, you are the most debt-demanding person I have ever seen, don't intimidate or threaten, sit there, put the IOU with a smile on your face, and you say again, 'Recently, money is tight, lack of money', and the debtor is scared and ......." ”
Lian Xuan put the silver ticket in his pocket and patted it with satisfaction, "This is also one of my few specialties, and in the future, my grandfather will say that I am useless, so I will have something to prevaricate him." ”
Bu Da twitched the corners of his mouth messily and said, "Master, if you open a shop in Kyoto that specializes in collecting debts for people, how good would it be to make money easily?" ”
Lian Xuan glanced at Bu Da, frowned and said, "No wonder there are one or two minions around those gentlemen who instigate them to do bad things when they have nothing to do, sure enough." ”
Buda, "....... ”
This basin is buckled, that's called an injustice.
Bu Da pretended not to hear it, and said, "Master, who will you go to next to ask for debts?" ”
Lian Xuan took out the account book from his arms, looked at the next list, and frowned a little, "Lord Zhao? ”
Bu Da was stunned, "No, Lord Zhao is a well-known iron rooster, he only goes in and can't leave, he is not even afraid of Grandpa Guo, let's go to ask for debts, we won't be beaten out, right?" By the way, how much debt does Prince Zhao owe? ”
"Eighty thousand taels," Lian Xuan was a little melancholy, and a little excited.
After collecting the debts of seven or eight families, I finally met one who might not pay back the money.
It's been morning, running around. There is no sense of accomplishment at all to collect debts, it is too boring.
"Let's go, go to King Zhao's Mansion!"
Seeing Lian Xuan's eyes glowing, Bu Da didn't say anything, his master's head was far from a normal person.
If the money was less, he could still persuade him not to, but 80,000 taels...... Even if the master is willing not to want it, he is reluctant to do it.
No, the master and servant went straight to King Zhao's mansion.
It's just that after they left, a figure came out of the shadows.
His eyes were cold. With a murderous aura.
Linmo Xuan. Main house.
An Rong was busy appraising pieces of jewelry.
Peony came in and said, "Young grandmother, Brother Zhao Cheng is back." ”
An Rong asked without raising his head, "Is the matter done?" ”
Peony covered her mouth and smiled. "Young grandma. You are too underestimate Brother Zhao Cheng. Isn't it just a two-day charter of the Drunken Immortal Building, this is not a big deal. ”
An Rong rolled her eyes, "I'm asking about selling jewelry." ”
Peony pouted. "Slave and maid, aren't you still at ease, it is estimated that it has spread all over Kyoto at this time."
Begonia walked over and asked with a smile, "How did you pass it on?" ”
Peony straightened her back and said, "Let's just say that the flawless girl of Liuxiang Pavilion lost everything in Liuxiang Pavilion to Shiziye, but those things, Shiziye can't use them, and I want to sell them for some silver, I hope everyone can give a thin noodle, and Ming'er will come to Zuixianlou to have a show." ”
"By the way, when I said that, someone interrupted me and asked me why I didn't auction in Liuxiang Pavilion?"
Peony didn't answer this question, only said that she was just a slave and maid, only responsible for passing the word, and didn't dare to speculate on the master's thoughts.
An Rong sat down on the chair and looked at Peony, "Is that really all that's all you say?" ”
If that's the case, then the jewelry sale business is bound to be ruined.
Peony nodded, indicating that she had only said so much.
Later, Dong'er came in, dismantled the peony stage, and said, "Today, I played a double reed with Sister Peony, and many people in the Drunken Immortal Building heard cold sweat on their foreheads." ”
Thinking of that scene, Dong'er couldn't help but laugh.
Peony did say the above words, but after she finished speaking, Dong'er dismantled the stage, "I recognize you, you are not the maid of the Hou Shizi of Jingbei, you are the personal maid of Xiao Biao's young grandmother!" ”
Peony Cousin Xiàn looked surprised, and then said honestly, "I am Xiao Biao's young grandmother's maid, and the sale of jewelry is also handled by my young grandmother, there is really no way, who is willing to be pregnant, and busy with this and that." ”
"Everyone also knows that the temper of the Hou Shizi of Jingbei is not very good, he is short of money, he doesn't like those jade pendants, jewelry, pearl hairpins or something, he is annoyed when he looks at it, and even with those prodigals who go to the Qinglou without silver and take jade pendants to pay off debts, the roots of his teeth are itching."
"My young grandmother was afraid that he would have a conflict with everyone as soon as he became the deputy marshal, so she took over the matter, hoping that everyone could redeem their jade pendants."
At this time, Dong'er said again, "The prince of Jingbei Hou is too domineering, is it his business to give jade pendants when people visit the Qinglou, or do they take the silver, how can they force people to redeem it?" ”
As soon as Dong'er spoke, many people met at that time, "That's it, it's too domineering!" ”
Peony stood on a high place, signaled everyone not to get excited, and said with a smile, "My young grandmother also persuaded her like this, but the prince of Jingbei Hou didn't listen, everyone also knows that the things in the Liuxiang Pavilion were confiscated and carried into the treasury, and finally asked him to carry them back. ”
"Everyone also knows that the prince is more likely to hold grudges, and he has a wide range of news, if he knows who the thing in his hand is that he can't sell it, he will go to the emperor to complain and annoy the emperor, and he will send someone to ask for money for the prince of Jingbei Hou with something."
"Think about it, people who can eat eight roast chickens in the Drunken Immortal Building at a time, and can almost miss such a big event as a martial arts competition, can't do any strange things, it's better to have more than one thing ......."
When Peony said something, everyone sitting in the room panicked.
Then, a bunch of people turned heads and ears.
Peony listened to it with two ears, and those people said that Xiao Biao's young grandmother was kind, and it was better to redeem those things, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.
An Rong smiled with satisfaction, and was about to praise Peony and Dong'er.
Outside, a girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly came in and said, "Young grandma, it's not good!" Prince Zhao tied the prince to the tree of Zhao's mansion! (To be continued......)
