Shang Shigong almost never cares about Shang Jinxiu's affairs. Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care, it's just that he never interferes with what Shang Jinxiu wants to do. However, he also had a careful thought, that is, he had been expecting Shang Jinxiu to take the initiative to ask him for help. It's a pity that in the past three years, Shang Jinxiu rarely asked him for help except for occasionally holding books to ask him questions.

This made Shang Shigong feel very frustrated, isn't it normal for a child to ask his father for help if he has trouble that can't be solved? But his daughter is a freak, or rather, she is too smart, even if there is a problem, she will solve it herself, and she will not ask him for help at all.

Shang Shigong is proud and disappointed at the same time, and he is very entangled. However, he cleverly concealed this kind of thought, so that no one could know it.

He was afraid that Li Shuhua would laugh at him.

On this day, when Shang Jinxiu told Shang Shigong that he wanted to ask him for help with something, Shang Shigong couldn't hold back, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was afraid that Shang Jinxiu would be annoyed and angry, so he pretended to be hot and fanned with a fan, blocking the corners of his upturned mouth.

The corners of Shang Jinxiu's mouth twitched slightly, he never thought that Shang Shigong would be so naïve!

Shang Shigong was pretending to fan the wind, and when he saw Shang Jinxiu's face was not good, he noticed that something was wrong, and he put the fan away, and his face was a little more worried: "Xiu'er, but what is the embarrassing thing?" ”

Shang Jinxiu felt that Shang Shigong was really unkind when he laughed just now, so he deliberately teased him. Her mouth was flattened and her brows furrowed, and she was about to cry when she saw it. The merchant was not suspicious of deception, and his face changed. He strode up to Shang Jinxiu, pulled her to sit down, and comforted her first: "Xiu'er." If you say something, is someone bullying you? ”

Shang Jinxiu nodded hurriedly. said hatefully: "Dad, someone has taken a fancy to 'Yipin Xian'." If you want to grab it, don't you think it's too much? ”

Shang Shi was so angry that he almost slapped the table, and he was afraid of scaring Shang Jinxiu, so he clenched his fists and asked her, "Xiu'er, who are you talking about?" ”

Shang Jinxiu told the Gu family that they wanted 'a product of freshness', and took out the letter written by Gu Haotian to Shang Shigong. Shang Shigong opened the letter, looked at the notes on it first, and felt that the person who wrote the letter was an arrogant person. Let's look at the content. The merchant was so angry that he slapped the letter on the table: "It's unreasonable! ”

This shot was very loud, he was worried about scaring Shang Jinxiu, so he quickly turned his head to look at her, and when he saw that she was not frightened, he comforted her: "Xiu'er, don't be afraid, Dad will protect you." ”

Shang Jinxiu could see that Shang Shigong said this completely from the bottom of his heart. However, she knew better that Shang Shigong was just a small county order. With the background of the Gu family, he couldn't deal with it at all.

She said: "But my mother said that the Gu family is the richest man in Qingzhou, and his background is very powerful. We are no match for the Gu family at all. If the Gu family colludes with people in the officialdom, Daddy's official position may not be guaranteed. ”

She deliberately told Shang Shigong this, she just wanted to let Shang Shigong know the Tao. Li Shuhua has given him how much he has paid. Although Shang Shigong had a quarrel with the Shang Sun family for Li Shuhua, he even replaced the maid next to the Shang Sun family. But in the past three years. As the Shang Sun clan got older, and the Shang Sun clan always cried to Shang Shigong. Pretending to be pitiful, the relationship between mother and son has eased a lot.

Shang Shigong is a filial son, she has never thought of separating the relationship between Shang Shigong and Shang Sun's mother and son, but she will not give Shang Sun another chance to persecute Li Shuhua!

Therefore, she must let the businessman know how much Li Shuhua has paid for him!

has been silently paying to not let the other party know, this kind of person is the most stupid. Because the other party doesn't know what to do, they won't care about you, let alone appreciate you, and your hard work will only become worthless.

This truth was told to her by a person in her previous life. It's not Fang Yuxin, it's Fang Yuxin's mother. She was a smart, sensible, and seductive woman, but she was by no means the kind of woman who was not decent and played with men at will. On the contrary, she is an absolute good wife and mother, and loves her husband and children very much.

Shang Jinxiu didn't accept her statement at first, but later thought about it for a long time before she understood. There are always many people in this world who pay silently for their lovers and children, but in the end they get nothing. Because the other party doesn't know your hard work, they will only take everything for granted.

However, the person also told her that you must let the other party understand your efforts, but you must not want to blackmail you to repay the favor, this is the most important thing. Moreover, informing is also a skill, if you blindly emphasize your own efforts and hard work, you will only make the other party disgusted in the end.

Therefore, Shang Jinxiu used a more euphemistic statement. She didn't say that Li Shuhua didn't dare to confront the Gu family because of the merit of the merchants, but she knew very well that the merchant's function understood what she meant.

Sure enough, Shang Shigong was silent for a long time after hearing this, with a face of frustration. Shang Shigong blamed himself very much, as a man, he should protect his wife and children, but in fact, it was Li Shuhua who sacrificed for him again and again.

What kind of man is he!

Shang Shigong pinched his legs fiercely, and his eyes gradually turned red. For the first time, he was deeply aware of his own incompetence. In fact, his idea of being an official is very simple, he simply wants to do things for the people, so that the people can live a good life.

Now, he suddenly discovered that just being a county magistrate is not enough. The official position is too small, he can't protect his family at all, but he has to burden his wife to protect him all the time.

He looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and for the first time in his life, he longed for power. Only with power can he protect his family and let them all live a good life.

Shang Jinxiu's original intention was just to let Shang Shigong understand Li Shuhua's goodness, and not to be confused by Shang Sun's family. She couldn't have imagined that an ordinary sentence would have a great impact on Shang Shigong, and even changed Shang Shigong's life and the fate of the entire business.

Seeing Shang Shigong's red eyes, Shang Jinxiu felt a little guilty, she took the initiative to hold Shang Shigong's hand and comfort: "Dad, don't think too much." ”

Shang Shigong touched her head, smiled and said, "Xiu'er, don't worry, Daddy didn't think too much." Don't think about it, Daddy will figure it out. He decided to go to the Qingzhou prefect Du Yuzhang, Du Yuzhang was born in a big family and was not afraid of the Gu family at all.

He knew that Du Yuzhang had some appreciation for him, but he was not sure if he could ask Du Yuzhang to help him with this appreciation.

Shang Jinxiu looked at Shang Shigong's slightly frowning eyebrows, and knew that he was actually very embarrassed about this matter. So she said, "Daddy, I wanted to ask you for help, but it wasn't about it. ”

Shang Shigong was surprised, what else could it be if it wasn't for this? Could it be that Shuhua decided to compromise with the Gu family? Absolutely not! 'Yipinxian' is the hard work of Shuhua and Xiu'er, and he can't let the Gu family snatch it!

He made up his mind, but he still asked curiously, "Then what do you want Daddy to help you?" ”

Shang Jinxiu said with a smile: "I want my father to help me send a gift to the prefect, the prefect will definitely like it." ”

"Gifts?" Shang Shigong didn't expect that Shang Jinxiu would already think of bribing the prefect at a young age. He felt that Shang Jinxiu was too naïve, what gift could she give as a child that Du Yuzhang cared about? The Gu family is the richest man, and it is not possible for a merchant to take out any treasure in the house.

Although he thought so, he didn't want to hit Shang Jinxiu, so he smiled and asked, "Oh? What is the gift? Are you so confident that the prefect will like it? ”

Shang Jinxiu smiled and took Shang Shigong to the East Cross Courtyard. In the past three years, a lot of things have been planted in the secret garden of the East Cross Courtyard, and the large and small flower pots alone are densely arranged.

Because Shang Jinxiu planted some 'new' things from time to time, Shang Shigong had long been surprised. When he arrived at the East Cross Courtyard, he looked around with great curiosity. This look at Shang Shigong was shocking, there were many things he didn't know here.

He was even more curious, looked at Shang Jinxiu and asked, "Xiu'er, what do you want to show your father?" He saw that some of the flowers were blooming well, and that there was a small tree bearing little yellow fruit, and he wondered if it was one of them.

I didn't want Shang Jinxiu to pull him to the ten pots of plants that were about to wither, he looked at it, he didn't know this kind of plant at all, not only did it not look good, but it was almost withered, and the flower pot used was also the most ordinary terracotta pot, neither carved nor glazed, no matter how you look at it, there is no beauty.

He frowned, Xiu'er didn't want him to send this to Du Yuzhang, right? He felt that he would be blasted out by Du Yuzhang.

Shang Shigong looked at Shang Jinxiu with a bitter face: "Xiu'er, what are these?" ”

Shang Jinxiu raised his eyebrows proudly and said mysteriously: "Daddy, this is the gift I want to ask you to help me give to the prefect, what do you think?" ”

Shang Shigong suddenly felt some pain in his temples, he pointed to the withered seedlings, and said with difficulty: "Xiu'er, I think the prefect should not like these." He pointed to the peony that was blooming not far away, "Why don't you send that one for you, the prefect should like it more." ”

Shang Jinxiu glanced at the innocent Peony who was shot with disdain, and said disdainfully: "The prefect's family must have it, even if Daddy sends him, it won't be rare." ”

Shang Shigong felt very uncomfortable, he didn't know what kind of stimulation this baby daughter was under, and he actually wanted to send Du Yuzhang a pot of seedlings that were about to wither and have no ornamental value. He said with difficulty: "Xiu'er, you heard from your father, this thing the prefect will definitely not like, shall we say goodbye?" ”

Shang Jinxiu didn't listen, she picked up a small hammer placed next to her, knocked it on the flower pot a few times, and with a crisp sound of "ping pong", the red pottery pot was directly scattered on the ground into pieces, revealing clumps of soil that were knotted together.

Shang Shigong thought that Shang Jinxiu was stimulated, so he was so angry that he wanted to smash all these 'gifts', but he didn't stop it, and he was entangled, when he saw that Shang Jinxiu had finished smashing it, and stepped on the clod of soil with his foot.

Shang Shigong was sure that his baby daughter was really angry, and hurriedly comforted: "Xiu'er, don't ......" After finishing speaking, he saw Shang Jinxiu lift up the withered seedling, and a string of yellow things hung under the seedling. (To be continued......)

PS: What does the female protagonist send, the girls must be able to guess it, this thing is an old terrier, but to be honest, for the ancient times when food production was insufficient, this high-yield and drought-tolerant grain is definitely a treasure.
