In July, there was no rain in Changping County for a whole month, and there was already a drought in the local areas, and the rice in some paddy fields was not yet fully ripe, and the tenant farmers could not hold back the harvest, so they were afraid that if they did not harvest again, there would be countless grains, and all of them would die.

The scorching sun hung high, the earth was like a steamer, and from a distance, hot wolves rose from the ground paved with green bricks, and there were not many passers-by walking on the street.

In front of the vermilion gate of Caofu, a man in a gray coarse shirt raised his head to look at the door, a trace of envy and jealousy flashed in his eyes, but remembering his intention, he snorted, straightened his chest, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

Squeak, the heavy door slowly opened, poked out a head, looked the person up and down, and said, "The seller goes to the corner door of West Street." ”

And without waiting for the man to speak, he closed the door.

"Hey, I said you, why is it closed, I'm not selling things, I'm here to find someone." Someone came eagerly.

"Do you still understand the rules? Find someone to go to the back door, turn left and turn inside when you get out of the intersection, you don't know anything, you can come to this door too? The doorkeeper snorted and closed the door again.

The person who came was not lightly angry, and spit a mouthful of thick phlegm on the door, saying, "Damn, the dog looks down on people." "But he quickly walked to the back door.

Before his figure disappeared, a carriage stopped in front of the door, and a little servant jumped down and knocked on the door, and when he saw the mouthful of phlegm on the door, he was so disgusted that he almost vomited out the overnight meal.

The door was opened again, and the gatekeeper inside the door poked his head out scoldingly and said, "They all said that after finding someone...... Ouch, is Brother An back? ”

"Don't open the door yet, the master is back." The little guy known as Brother An said, and then pointed to the phlegm on the side of the door and said, "Lao Huang, how did you look at the door, let people spit out this disgusting thing on the door." ”

When Lao Huang saw it, his face changed greatly, and he repeatedly said that he was wrong, but he was scolding in his heart, it must have been done by the turtle with thieves' eyebrows and thieves' eyes just now, damn, don't let him see him again, otherwise he will be beaten.

The threshold of the gatehouse was soon removed, the carriage drove into the house, and Lao Huang brought a bucket of water and a pig hair brush, and scolded the man for eighteen generations while scrubbing the door.

Cao Kui had just eaten a cup of tea, and he heard a report from the little maid that a father who claimed to be Miss Su came to the door.

Cao Kui spit out a sip of tea back into the cup and asked, "Who did you say is coming?" What's his name? ”

"It's called Su Whatsheng, oh, Su Changsheng is here." The little guy tilted his head and thought for a moment before he spoke.

Cao Kui also investigated the affairs of Su Liu's family, and naturally knew that Su Changsheng was Su Liu's biological father, and he also knew that Su Liu hated this person very much, but he didn't know him, what did he do?

"Please go to the front hall and say hello." Cao Kui thought for a while, and then said to the little girl: "Call the girl to wait for me to freshen up." ”

No matter what Su Changsheng's intentions were, he couldn't be rude, let alone admit defeat!

Su Changsheng sat in the living room of the Cao family, looking around with a pair of eyes, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw those exquisite and precious antiques and atmospheric decorations.

The Cao family is the top rich man in Changping County, and he has long known that in the past, his owner was just a small rich man, and in front of a local tyrant like the Cao family, it was simply not enough to see.

Look at other people's furnishings, just one piece, take it out for thousands of taels, right?

Su Changsheng poured a big sip of tea, and his heart was very uneven, he was also a human being, how could someone be so developed?

That's right, he knew that Su Liu and the Cao family had a great relationship, and even the eldest sister's son was also arranged by Su Liu to do errands here, which was nothing, but since Su Changsheng heard the words of Su Liu and the Chen family, he had a diaphragm in his heart, and he came to check it out, and only after this check did he know that the head of the Cao family was originally a widower, and he has not remarried until now.

After finding out this news, Su Changsheng couldn't sit still, especially when he heard Su Liu's meaningful words, what else did he not understand, but he was afraid that the Chen family and the head of the Cao family had met each other.

How can that work, Chen is his Su Changsheng's woman, how can he marry someone else, this is absolutely not good.

Men are different from women, even if the other party is not wanted by themselves, they don't want to see her remarry again, and always be loyal to themselves, Su Changsheng is such a scumbag, as long as he thinks of Chen sleeping with others, he is so jealous that his heart is sour and crazy.

So, he's here to warn this Cao Kui, don't hit him Mei Niang's idea, hum!

After changing three teas, Su Changsheng drank a full stomach of water, and Cao Kui hadn't appeared yet, so he couldn't help but be secretly angry, this is to serve him a shelf!

"Hey, go and see, why hasn't anyone come yet? Lao Tzu is so drunk that his stomach is full of water and is about to pee out, whether your master gave birth or what, he hasn't come yet. Su Changsheng pointed to a little girl and asked.

The little girl just kept her head, and when she heard Su Changsheng's rude words at first glance, her little face turned red, and she couldn't speak while twisting the corners of her clothes.

"What about you, is the little girl deaf or dumb?" Seeing that she was silent, Su Changsheng was very impatient.

The little girl was about to cry, and said hesitantly: "Master, the master is coming soon." ”

As soon as these words fell, there was a cough from the side door, Su Changsheng looked over and subconsciously stood up.

The person who came was only about forty years old, with a red sandalwood hairpin on his head, a slender figure, wearing a navy blue brocade, a silver belt around his waist, a topaz pendant on one side, and a jade gourd on the other. He has a gentle temperament, the corners of his lips are slightly hooked, just looking at it from a distance, the whole person is elegant and generous, just like a reader, which makes people ashamed of themselves.

Cao Kui is known as a Confucian businessman, and he was born a peerless beauty like Cao Mingzhu, how can his own foundation be poor, and he deliberately dresses up, so he naturally compares Su Changsheng to him.

While Su Changsheng was looking at him, Cao Kui had also looked at Su Changsheng from beginning to end, and sighed in his heart: How can such a person give birth to a smart and clever daughter like Su Liu?

"Who is this?" Cao Kui stepped forward politely.

Su Changsheng scolded secretly in his heart, and asked knowingly, but he also knew that the two of them were meeting for the first time, so he puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I am Su Liu's father." ”

Cao Kui's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Ouch, I should be a subordinate to fool me, but it is really Brother Su." Forgive me for being late, sit, please. Cao Kui stepped forward with a smile, and said to the person behind him: "Come on, re-serve tea to Master Su." ”

Su Changsheng didn't want to admit that everyone's gestures were everyone's demeanor, and remembered that he was deliberately snubbing, so he snorted and sneered: "No need, Master Cao's noble people are busy, I don't dare to bother, just leave after speaking." ”

Cao Kui's business is big, and he can't hear his voice, so he smiled and said: "The little girl and Su Liu are also good sisters, I also said to that child that I like it in every way, quite speculative, and now it's the first time I've seen Brother Su, why rush to leave?" The two of us have a fate, and we also bother and disturb the family life. ”

Su Changsheng was unhappy when he saw his self-acquaintance with every gesture, and he said sharply without thinking about it: "We are not familiar with each other, and I don't dare to disturb the family with people who want to take away their wives." ”

Cao Kui's sharp eyes flashed quickly, but they quickly disappeared, and he lowered his eyelids and said, "I don't know what Brother Su means by this?" ”

"What do you mean?" Su Changsheng tilted his chin and squinted at him and said, "You sent a mother-in-law two days ago to say that let's Mei Niang and Liu Er come here for some Chinese Valentine's Day, right?" ”

"There is such a thing." Cao Kui replied lightly.

"Look, I can't hide it, admit it, don't you say that Xiao misses my Mei Niang? Look at you like a decent gentleman, in fact, businessmen like you are the most treacherous, you must want to coax their mother and daughter, so that you can marry my son-in-law, right? Su Changsheng felt more and more that he was the truth, and when he thought of a possibility, he asked excitedly: "You say, shouldn't my lady have hooked up a long time ago?" ”

"Brother Su, please be cautious, Mei Niang and I are in love and courtesy, and they are not as unbearable as you say." Cao Kui put down the teacup in his hand heavily, no longer had the politeness just now, and said coldly: "You insult people's innocence, it is really a gentleman's style, and I hope that Brother Su will be cautious so as not to get into trouble." ”

"What is your identity, dare to teach me?" Being scolded by him like this, Su Changsheng became angry and said, "You are a gentleman who took someone's wife?" Cao Kui, do you dare to say that you are not Xiao Xiang and our Mei Niang? Let me tell you, you think wrong, it won't be long before Mei Niang and her mother and daughter will go back to Su's house with me. ”

Hearing that the Chen family was going back to the Su family, Cao Kui's heart jumped, but when he saw his eyes flickering and his heart was clear, he sneered: "What is your identity, dare to shout here?" Your wife? Your wife is the Zhou family of the Su family, and the Zhou family you are pampered with is not Mei Niang, who has long been separated from you. As for me, my fair lady, good gentleman, Mei Niang is a good woman, I naturally won't miss it, but I will definitely ask to marry her according to the three books and six rites, and I will never waste and insult her. But you, just by virtue of your virtue, the dirty things you did to Mei Niang in the past, she will promise you to go back to the deep pool of the Su family? Su Changsheng, who are you a fool for! ”

Su Changsheng was poked in the center, and said in shame: Cao Kui, you like to break shoes so much? ”

Broken shoes? Cao Kui's eyes narrowed, and the sharp light shot straight at him.

Touching his knife-like eyes, Su Changsheng only felt that the air suddenly became cold, obviously it was a hot day in July, but he always felt cold, and there was a chill on his back.

"You, what do you want to do?"

Cao Kui smiled coldly and said, "What Brother Su said today, I will tell Mei Niang as it is, what do you think, what will happen if Mei Niang knows your words?" ”

Su Changsheng's face changed greatly, and his eyes suddenly widened: "You, you are despicable." ”

"What about being despicable, the woman I want to marry, you say it's a broken shoe, Su Changsheng, you never know what you've missed!" Cao Kui smiled coldly and said, "But I want to be grateful to you, if it weren't for your stupid reconciliation with her, I wouldn't have this opportunity, hahahaha!" ”

Su Changsheng was stunned, looked at Cao Kui, and couldn't say a word.
