Chapter 245: The Time to Come Finally Comes (2-in-1 Chapter)
Chapter 245: It's finally here
"There's something going on here?" After more than ten years of husband and wife, Zhen Niang has already had a good understanding of Luo Wenqian's temperament, and when she saw Luo Wenqian's look at the show, Zhen Niang understood that this Liu Susu girl and Tian Benchang are afraid that it is not just a little bit of something to do with it.
"Well, some." Luo Wenqian nodded: "A few days ago, Tian Benchang didn't bring an umbrella when he went out, and it rained outside the city, and it happened that Liu Susu and her master went to the temple outside the city to incense and came back, so they gave the umbrella to Tian Benchang, Tian Benchang returned to the city, and inquired about this Liu girl, and gave a hundred gold thanks, but was rejected by Miss Liu, and then Tian Benchang drank tea in Qingchun Building for several days...... Luo Wenqian said in a low voice.
This incident has become a good story in Nanjing's Fengyue circle.
Zhen Niang raised her eyebrows at this time: "What does Tian Benchang mean by this, give an umbrella and thank you with 100 gold?" People don't get it, so they go to drink tea every day? Did he fall in love with that Liu Susu? ”
"He's a scheming man who is hard for others to understand." Luo Wenqian said, but he also understood a little in his heart, this time, Tian Benchang was afraid that he was a little tempted, but it was not good to tell Zhen Niangming. After all, it is a family affair of the Tian family.
"No matter how difficult it is, he does this, it also embarrass Yuejuan." Zhenniang sighed. There was some depression in my heart.
Back then, Tian Benchang was in trouble, and Sun Yuejuan never gave up on him, and because of this, although Tian Benchang was a little gloomy and scheming, he attached great importance to Sun Yuejuan over the years.
There was once a cooperative businessman who sent two concubines to Tian Benchang, and Tian Benchang gave them to others, and because of this. It was rumored that Sun Yuejuan was a jealous woman.
But Zhenniang knows. This is completely none of Sun Yuejuan's business.
Although this makes Sun Yuejuan as jealous as Zhenniang. But women, who really cares about that.
Therefore, although Zhenniang doesn't like Tian Benchang's gloom, she still appreciates him at this point, and she is affectionate and righteous to Sun Yuejuan.
It's just that now that you've come to this, why not stick to it. Is this conjugal relationship really so neglected?
"Man, there's really no one who doesn't eat in the bowl and look at the pot." Zhen Niang said a little irritatedly, and overturned a boatload of people with one shot. During this time, Xu is due to possible changes, and Zhenniang's mood is always a little restless.
"Zhenniang, this is not fair, you know, I have never said that I will only walk side by side with you, accompany you for a lifetime, and watch the sunset hand in hand when you are old, you should believe me." Luo Wenqian gently turned the jade bracelet on Zhen Niang's wrist. The eyes looked at Zhen Niang fixedly, and there was no doubt about the firmness in it. Obviously, Zhenniang was slightly disappointed, and Luo Wenqian saw it in her eyes, and she knew it even more.
"Brother Luo...... I know, I believe in you. Zhen Niang and Luo Wenqian's eyes looked at each other, and the firmness in Brother Luo's eyes suddenly made Zhen Niang's heart fall to the ground, and she couldn't help murmuring, although the relationship between the two has always been very smooth, but they have been with each other for more than ten years, and the kind of relationship between the two has been imprinted in their bones and will not change, in fact, it is Tian Benchang, she doesn't believe that she will give up easily after persisting for more than ten years, and take a look down.
He also said: "What kind of show is this, it is our women who suffer in the end." ”
"I'm not talking about this, but this time, it's not so easy for Tian Benchang to succeed, Tian Benchang has recently had too many small means in the business world, offended a lot of people, since some people can't see him hugging the beauty, that is, Zhengshen and Zhengping A few of them also said okay, and then they will also help Liu Susu raise the price, so that Tian Benchang will break some money, this guy, over the years, he has not been less cheap from our righteous people, this time it is time for him to bleed." Luo Wenqian said with a chuckle.
"What's this bad idea? If Tian Benchang played a slippery head and raised the price, he didn't change it, wouldn't it be a matter of being upright and cousin Zhengping. Zhenniang immediately slapped her face and glared. That's not a good idea. Money is still a trivial matter, if Zhengping becomes Liu Susu's financial master, then Su Su and Sister Qiu will fall out.
Then there will be two cousins.
Thinking of this, he joked with a smile on his face: "Maybe this is right in their arms, they are all crooked thoughts, none of them are worry-free, don't make trouble with them." ”
"I'm just watching the show, and it's not all playing with a straight body." Luo Wenqian said with a pure face at this time, skimming cleanly, and pulling the upright body to pad his back, he had no intention at all.
Zhenniang laughed. Zhengliang Zhengping's cousin usually said that Wen Qian is the most emotional, if he can hear this, he is afraid that he will jump to his feet angrily.
At this time, Luo Wenqian held Zhen Niang's hand again, closed his eyes slightly and said: "Tian Benchang will not stop this time, you must know that the operator behind this banquet is actually Yamen Shantang, and in two months it will be the election day of the president of the Hui Chamber of Commerce. Luo Wenqian said, counting Tian Benchang to death.
This time, Tian Benchang can't break his fortune.
"Yes." Zhenniang pouted.
The weather in June was hot and dry, and the rainy days were fine before, but as soon as the weather was clear, it was uncomfortably hot.
In the afternoon, Zhenniang asked Xinghua to make some iced sour plum soup, and moved tables and chairs to the verandah in the yard. The two ends of the verandah are ventilated, which is a good place to enjoy the shade, and then I got some lamp grass, grabbed Sister Yu'er to her side, and taught Sister Yu to weave lamp grass.
Just as Mrs. Li left her last words, Li Jiamo's skills must be passed down from generation to generation.
Sister Yu was obviously helpless, learned to make it up a few times, and sat there with her mouth pouted, while the six-catty sister-in-law and Ping'an sister-in-law looked very distressed, and couldn't wait to hold her to eat, but Zhenniang only didn't see it, this girl made the family spoiled, and there was no patience, this is not good, she always has to grind her.
And ink-making has always been a hard-working job, and it can grind people's temperament the most.
The little girl saw that her mother ignored her, so she looked at the ugly woman on the side, but unfortunately in this matter, the ugly woman followed the same mind as the virgin mother. In the end, Sister Yu reluctantly made it up again, and the tears fell and fell, small appearance. Wronged to death. Stop. Zhenniang also called her distressed like that.
You said that this little person, how can such a trivial matter make it look like he has been wronged, Zhenniang couldn't cry or laugh.
"Yo, Zhenniang, where are you singing, Sister Yu is still young." At this moment, Sun Yuejuan, who was wearing a paddy field suit, came in. Seeing this situation, he joked, hugged Sister Yu'er, and kissed two mouthfuls hard.
"Auntie......" Sister Yu sold well when she got cheap, complaining about her mother-in-law.
"Okay, okay, Xinghua took her to wash, and she became a flower cat." Zhen Niang waved her hand angrily, and while the six-pound sister-in-law took Sister Yu'er, she walked down quickly.
"Zhenniang, have you received the post of the teacher banquet in Qingchun Building? We'll go together the day after tomorrow. "Watching the six-catty sister-in-law take Sister Yu down. Sun Yuejuan sat down in front of Zhen Niang, while Xinghua'er packed up her things. I made tea again.
Sun Yuejuan sipped the tea ceremony gently, her eyes a little dark.
"I thought you weren't going." Zhen Niang looked at Sun Yuejuan and said.
If this is a different person, she will not say it, but she has a small relationship with Sun Yuejuan, and then she will be compared to others, if this thing falls on her, then Zhenniang will definitely not come forward.
Watching his own man fight for a woman, no housewife is willing to suffer that embarrassment.
Sun Yuejuan looked at the churning tea leaves in the teacup, smelled the faint fragrance of tea, her whole face was not very clear by the tea mist, and her voice was a little dry: "Benchang has been affectionate to me all these years, and I want to give him face, as long as Miss Liu doesn't enter the house, I will turn a blind eye." ”
Sun Yuejuan said this, Zhenniang could only nod, there was no way, there were few rich people in this world, and there were already few people who did not accept concubines or raise outer rooms, and if they wanted to live comfortably, they could only be confused.
It's just that there is always some indescribable different taste in my heart, and an indescribable astringency.
On June 21, Qingchun Building had a banquet.
Before the final competition, it was a big drama, which was Zhen Niang's "Mistaken Relationship" in order to promote Li Mo, but now, after several adaptations, the plot is very different from Zhen Niang's original compilation, that is, the ending, and it has become a full moon.
Zhen Niang and Sun Yuejuan sat in the women's area of the verandah at this time, and the two of them leaned back against the north of the jujube red Taishi chair, and the two chatted in a low voice.
Through a row of railings, you can see the stage and lobby opposite.
"How much are you going to donate today?" Sun Yuejuan asked next to Zhen Niang, and gently sipped tea. I don't know how much I've listened to the drama on stage, and I'm not interested at all at this time.
"Just a few old pieces of jewelry, not too high or shabby." Zhen Niang opened a small cloth bag and asked Sun Yuejuan to look at the jewelry she brought, a pair of hand gongs, a hairpin, and a pendant, mostly some jewelry that Zhen Niang no longer uses.
Originally, it didn't matter if I donated to the good hall, it didn't matter if I donated more Zhen Niang, but this matter was entangled in Liu Susu inside, Zhen Niang was a little unhappy, and then said that the donation was this thing, over the years, Wen Qian didn't donate a few smiles in a year, Huizhou side, building bridges and paving roads, private school and good hall, most of the Luo family is the largest sum, and Nanjing is smashing into a lot every year, and the name of Luo Dashan is not known in the north and south of the river.
Of course, behind these things, Zhen Niang is the driving force, she doesn't really want to pursue the name of this good person, she just wants to brush up her reputation, and when Zhang Juzheng has an accident, Ruoda's good reputation is also a talisman.
Naturally, because of these, Zhenniang doesn't need to be in the limelight at this time, no more, no less, just right.
"Well, so do I." Sun Yuejuan also opened the small cloth bag she was carrying, and showed Zhen Niang the jewelry she planned to donate, which was similar to Zhen Niang's, but the two thought of going together, so they both smiled.
At this time, the play came to an end, a long tone ended, and the lobby was full of applause.
After a few stewards of Qingchun Lou came to power, and then there was a famous prostitute Dong Shiniang twenty years ago, with a jacket and a skirt, combing a peony head, and a romantic posture, compared with that year, she did not lose a few points, and she was followed by a twenty-eight little lady, a lotus leaf collar shirt, a long skirt just reached the ground, revealing a three-inch golden lotus between walking, combing an oblique bun, wearing a goose yellow pressed hair flower, the body is like a willow, holding a pipa in her hand, with her walking, occasionally making a tone or two, although it is not a song, but with her posture, But there is a feeling that makes men scratch their hearts and lungs.
Zhen Niang glanced at it and sighed, no wonder Tian Benchang was moved, this Liu Susu does have the ability to hook people, and Sun Yuejuan on the side was a little pale.
"This Liu Susu is really a beauty. Look at the man in the lobby. The eyes are green. The women chatted in low voices.
"No matter how green it is. Liu Susu is already famous. A woman with a comb on her hair answered. She is the wife of Wang Dafu, a supervisor of Qinhuai.
"No, isn't this not started yet, how can the famous flower have a master?" The previous man said curiously.
"You don't know, do you? Tian Benchang, Tian Ji, took a fancy to Liu Susu, and this time he would not hesitate to win it. The lady who replied said triumphantly, "Shall I just say it?" There are no fishy cats, but some cats talk a little bit, and they don't meet the ones they like. ”
"I said, Mrs. Wang, what are you talking about, this hasn't started yet. You just jump to conclusions, with Master Wang's love of stealing, you can't wait for the men in the world to be the same as Lord Wang, everyone is from the streets of Nanjing, who doesn't know who's idea, you have the time to take care of Master Wang, spend more time on Lord Wang, don't say this kind of self-falling identity. Just then, a voice interjected.
Sister Ge Qiu and Zhao Susu walked over. Sister Ge Qiu has always had a bit of a pungent temperament, so there is nothing she doesn't dare to say.
Wang Niangzi was robbed of white by Sister Ge Qiu. Tie Qing, who was angry, just. Not long ago, Wang Dafu redeemed the popular girl Yangu of Yiyue Building, bought a house on Sanshan Street, and raised an outer room.
So when Sister Ge Qiu said this, Wang Niangzi didn't have a word to argue. Angry and stammering.
"Two sisters-in-law, come and sit." Zhen Niang snickered and greeted the two of them, that is, before, Sun Dajuan, who was very unhappy because of the words of the princess, also squinted and smiled at this time.
Sister Ge Qiu and Zhao Susu sat down, Zhen Niang looked at the things they were going to donate, and they were almost the same as hers, and sure enough, they all took the path of the mean, and several people looked at each other and smiled.
"I thought you weren't coming." Zhen Niang looked at Su Su and Sister Ge Qiu and said.
"How can you not come, you are in the middle of your cousin's little flowery intestines, can I still have points in my heart? But I want to stare at him, and if I am embarrassed, I will make trouble with him on the spot, and he will make me lose face, and I will not give him face. On the other hand, Zhao Susu said half-truthfully.
At this moment, the main drama in the lobby began. Sun Yuejuan's back couldn't help but be straight, Zhen Niang knew that although Sun Yuejuan said that she didn't care, as long as Tian Benchang didn't take it home, she would turn a blind eye, but how could she really not care.
At this point, the main drama began. One after another, parents handed over their master's pricing to the stage.
Then the manager of Qingchun Building on the stage began to quote.
"Bachelor Yang offered three hundred taels."
"Master Cheng's offer is four hundred taels."
"Li Ji is in charge, the price is five hundred taels ......"
At this time, Sister Ge Qiu heard the quotation of the manager on the stage, and muttered angrily, but she didn't care too much, the quotation at this time was only symbolic, mainly to donate to the good hall, it was to give face to the prefect's wife, and most of them had nothing to do with Liu Susu.
……
And unconsciously, the price has risen to 2,000 taels, which is an unprecedented price.
And now the competition on the stage is a businessman surnamed Lu from Shanxi, and the other is Tian Benchang, and the others gave up at one thousand taels.
"Tian wrote down two thousand two hundred taels.
"Shanxi Master Lu offered two thousand four hundred taels."
"Tian wrote out two thousand six hundred taels."
"Master Lu will give two thousand eight hundred taels."
"Tian Ji 3,000 taels ......"
By the time it reached three thousand taels, the field was already silent, and at this time, the teacup that Sun Yuejuan was holding in her hand suddenly smashed on the ground, making a clang, but it drowned out the excitement of the lobby.
"Yuejuan, otherwise, go and tell Tian Benchang that you don't accept it......" Zhenniang looked at her face as white as paper, and finally couldn't help but say.
"Nope." Sun Yuejuan gritted her teeth at this time and shook her head heavily. Then he grabbed Zhen Niang's hand to stabilize his body, and leaned softly on the back of the Taishi's chair.
Zhen Niang felt that Sun Yuejuan grabbed her hand and pinched her, and she was in pain.
"Master Lu gave up." At this time, the steward on the stage said regretfully. Then he continued to call: "Tian Ji has three thousand taels, is there any high?" If not, then today's Liu Susu girl's graduation banquet will be tasted by Master Tian. ”
At this moment, another long man slipped on stage. Immediately, everyone's eyes were on him. Zhen Niang looked at the long follower. I couldn't help frowning slightly. She recognized this long-term follower, who was the long-term follower of the big shopkeeper of the Yihousheng Money Village.
At this time, the steward said excitedly: "The shopkeeper of Yihou Shengyan bid three thousand six hundred taels. ”
There was silence in the audience.
"The shopkeeper of Yihou Shengyan bid three thousand six hundred taels, do you want to add more?" At that time, the steward on the stage asked excitedly.
Suddenly, Tian Motochang stood up.
And as Tian Benchang stood up, Sun Yuejuan finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore and stood up. The two looked at each other across the railing, silent, and then Sun Yuejuan turned around and was about to leave.
And at this moment, Tian Benchang's clear voice came from the lobby: "Tian Ji gave up, congratulations to the shopkeeper." ”
Sun Yuejuan, who was about to leave in a hurry, stopped, a little unconvinced. No one understands better than her that Tian Benchang is really moved by Liu Susu this time, and he is even more determined to win the position of president, but why did Tian Benchang give up suddenly?
"I give up, congratulations to the big shopkeeper for holding the beauty." At this time, Tian Motochang's voice was clearer. Then he walked over. crossed the verandah and walked to Sun Yuejuan's side: "Go home." With that, he took Sun Yuejuan's hand and left.
"That president ......" Sun Yuejuan followed behind him. muttered.
"It's okay, it's a big deal, I'll donate some more tomorrow to the charity hall." Tian Benchang replied indifferently, and then left directly with Sun Yuejuan.
That day out of the city, the ancient road green willows, fragrant car beauties, paper umbrellas smoke and rain, Tian Benchang was moved by Liu Susu, these days, Liu Susu's figure has been echoing in his mind, plus the matter of competing for the president. Therefore, this time he really came with a heart of ambition, in fact, just now, he stood up to fight with Yan Xilai again, but he faced Sun Yuejuan, and couldn't help but think of the days in prison, no one remembered him, only Sun Yuejuan brought him food every day, and every time he came to prison, he would take a comb to help him comb his hair. So, he found that the previous heart that couldn't be suppressed for Liu Susu was gone, he Tian Benchang was not a good person, but there were some things that he always had to insist on, although he was shaken before, but at this moment, looking at Sun Yuejuan's smile, he was glad that he persevered.
Zhen Niang looked at the backs of the two and knew that at the last moment, Tian Benchang still chose Sun Yuejuan, that's it, she has persisted for more than ten years, and there is no reason why she can't resist an encounter and an umbrella.
In the end, it was Yan Xilai who got Liu Susu's teacher's banquet, and then Yan Xilai was Liu Susu's gold master.
"I really didn't expect that Yan Xilai is silent on weekdays, this is really courageous, three thousand six hundred taels, it seems that his net worth is thick." At this time, the ending has come out, the people in Qingchun Building have gradually dispersed, and the people who came out have an incredible face.
"Of course he has a thick net worth, do you know how Yi Housheng made a fortune? It is a gold mine in the north, and this gold mine is shared by several of their righteous brothers, and Yi Housheng is not Luo Jiu's alone, Yan Xilai's net worth is not as good as Luo Jiu, that is because, all along, Luo Jiu has been supported by Lord Zhang and Lord Qi, so he is stronger than others. "Some.
Hearing this, Zhen Niang couldn't help frowning, all along, Yan Xilai is not the kind of person who can spend a lot of money, his sudden move today is always a little unguessable, is he really obsessed with Liu Susu?
At this time, Luo Wenqian and the Li brothers came out together. Zhen Niang saw Luo Wenqian frowning, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Luo, is this the shopkeeper of Yanda?" ”
"After working together for so many years, it has been a pleasure, but in recent years, his spirit has become higher and higher." Luo Wenqian said expressionlessly.
"What's wrong?" Zhenniang asked.
"I just received the news that Master Zhang passed away yesterday." Luo Wenqian said.
In recent years, as the business of Yi Housheng has become bigger and bigger, Yan Xilai has been a little dissatisfied with only being the big shopkeeper of Yi Housheng, in fact, this is understandable, people's hearts are like this. It's just that Luo Wenqian didn't expect Yan Xilai to jump so fast. The timing was so good.
Today's prefect is Zhang Siwei's person, and the prefect's wife is Wang Siwei's wife and sister, after Zhang Juzheng's death, from the perspective of the power of the DPRK and China, the person who came up was Xiao Zhang.
Yan Xilai took this opportunity to gain the favor of the prefect's wife, but he started quickly and accurately.
But Zhen Niang had a feeling that her boots were falling to the ground at this time, Zhang Ju was walking, Luo Wenqian's backer fell, and the storm was not far away.
At this moment, the original clear sky suddenly darkened, and several purple gold lightning streaked through the air, followed by a rumbling thunder.
It's going to rain again, the flood in Nanjing, Jiangsu, the drought in Shanxi, the earthquake in many places, and the mutiny in Hangzhou.
When the bean-sized raindrops fell, Luo Wenqian escorted Zhenniang into the carriage.
