“…… The third uncle was originally quite close to my father, but later the eldest brother ran away from home, and the old lady handed over part of the business to the second room to take care of, and there began to be some different voices over there, saying that the daughter who married out spilled the water, and they probably hoped that the concubine could marry out as soon as possible, so it was said that the concubine was involved in the princess......"

On the way, Shen Yourong took the initiative to hold one of Yang Lin's arms, behaving naturally and decently, while whispering to him about the things at home.

"So, should I turn around and go back, lest I be ridiculed in public later?"

"Hehe, those talents are not Xianggong's opponents." She smiled and smoothed out the folds on the placket for Yang Lin, raised her head, and looked at the man beside her, "Daddy often warned the concubine at that time, the most important thing for a woman is to abide by the rules, otherwise if she marries in the future, she will be cleaned up by her in-laws, and she will be beaten and scolded at least and abandoned at worst, so even if she suffers more grievances, she can only endure it, but Xianggong is a manly husband, and he is the façade and responsibility of our second room, and the concubine will still count on Xianggong to support her in the future." ”

"When will there be so many requirements for soft rice?"

"Does Xianggong really plan to eat soft rice for the rest of his life?" The girl's eyes blinked at Yang Lin, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

"Of course, I also went to the shop a few days ago, and the shopkeeper personally checked my pulse."

"Huh? Is Sang-gong sick? ”

"Yes, the shopkeeper said that I have a bad stomach and may have to eat soft rice for the rest of my life."

"Poof......" Shen Yourong was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he glared at someone with a slightly red face, "Xianggong has started talking nonsense again, and he is not afraid of being heard of the joke......"

Yang Lin smiled, quite ashamed and proud.

Shen Yourong was a little helpless, but fortunately, he was used to the changes in his father-in-law, and after laughing, he briefly explained the situation to Yang Lin.

Today's party, except for the old lady who did not come because of ill health, other relatives of the Shen family were present, since the eldest grandson Shen Youxia ran away from home, the long house has gradually faded out of the power circle of the Shen family, and there is only one only daughter in the second room, so the responsibility of inheriting the family business falls on the body of the third room, although Shen Youcai of the third room is a standard gentleman, but his father is a powerful figure, a few years ago he took care of the business for the old lady in Shanxi, and I heard that it has also broken into a small pattern, After the death of his wife, he married a famous descendant in Beijing, which brought a lot of political bargaining chips for the Shen family, such as the noble son surnamed Liang who had a lot of movement with the Shen family before, which was the line on the side of the third room, it can be said that even if Shen Yourong's wrist is ten times stronger, if there is no old lady behind him, it is impossible to be this person's opponent.

Today is the birthday of the master of the third room, and early in the morning, the entire Shen Mansion began to get busy.

Shen Yourong is wearing that red cloak today, and her snow-white robe wraps her graceful figure, which is as stunning as when she first saw her, and she is more gentle and virtuous in front of Yang Lin, but in front of outsiders, she is definitely the kind of temperament that is in charge of her own side, she is resolute and resolute, and she has even overpowered many men in terms of wrists, and it is even said that if she is born a man, where will there be other people who want to compete for family property.

Now the old lady's body is getting worse day by day, and the inheritance problem is gradually on the table, originally the Shen family suffered these things, and the balance of victory has been tilted towards the third room, if it weren't for Yang Lin making a move at the critical moment, maybe it would have been another result now, in the end, she is just a girl's family, a little stronger than ordinary weak women, and it is only the factor of not admitting defeat in the character accounts for most of it, and a person is still a little tired after supporting for a long time, so if there is someone around him to rely on at some moments, It's a good feeling.

At this time, Shen Yourong gently held Yang Lin's arm, and a rare sense of girlish shyness appeared on his face, wandering all the way, and appeared outside the three-room mansion like this, and after a while, a steward ran over.

"I'm blind, don't you see that the second lady and uncle are still carrying things in their hands?"

The old housekeeper scolded a few times from afar, hurriedly came over to take the gift in Shen Yourong's hand, and said with a smile: "It's cold outside, the second lady should come into the house and sit first, it's good if people come, what kind of gifts do you bring, it's strange to see the ...... outside."

"Uncle Zhang, you also rest more, and leave things to the people below."

Shen Yourong said politely, although the other party is the manager of the third room, he is also an old man who has followed the old lady for many years, and his status is far from being comparable to ordinary people.

"Today is the master's birthday, I don't dare to have a little difference, the old slave is here looking at this group of cubs, second miss, you go into the house to rest, by the way, Master Zhou of Guozijian is also here today, and he is giving a lecture to the students in the Ming Hall at this time......"

Yang Lin vaguely remembered where he had heard the name.

"Lord Zhou is here too?"

Shen Yourong's expression moved slightly when he heard this, obviously he was very familiar with this Lord Zhou, the Shen family as a big family in Hedong can gain a foothold in the capital, and there is naturally the help of high-ranking officials and nobles behind it, but most of them are exchanges of interests, and this Zhou Daren, whose real name is Zhou Guangyuan and the official to the country, is the existence of a relationship with the Shen family in the real sense. even said that the youngest daughter of the Shen family married him at that time, at that time the two families were quite close, and the Zhou family was also one of the hardcore backers of the Shen family, I don't know if it was in response to the words of the wife who was promoted to get rich and died, not long after Zhou Guangyuan moved to the high school, the daughter of the Shen family died because of the infection of the wind and cold, and then Zhou Guangyuan changed his course and married a popular Oiran in the Alum Tower, so far the relationship with the Shen family has gradually become estranged, I didn't expect to invite him today, it seems that the third master of the Shen family does have some ability in the officialdom.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Yun's girl panting and coming over: "Miss, Auntie, you are here, there are many people in the mansion today, the lord of the Guozijian sacrificial wine, and the people from Bianjing Mansion...... By the way, several shopkeepers in Shanxi also rushed back today, saying that they didn't have time to toast when the young lady got married, and they want to make up for it today......"

Shanxi has always been the Sanfang people in the business, there have indeed been a few powerful shopkeepers, most of the family's herbal medicine business is managed by them, although they are some people recruited from outside, but they can also be regarded as confidants, this time back may not have the meaning of supporting the Sanfang.

Xiao Yun was called over to help early this morning, and she didn't have time to go back to report to her family, so she hurried over until Shen Yourong appeared.

Shen Yourong and Xiao Yun were like sisters, so they naturally heard the worry in her tone, but the former comforted: "It's okay, you go and get busy with your first." ”

"But Miss ......"

Shen Yourong turned his head directly to look at Yang Lin and asked softly, "Xianggong wants to walk around?" ”

Yang Lin shook his head: "No need, I'll accompany you in." ”

Shen Yourong thought for a while: "Okay, don't worry about those people later, just watch the excitement, everyone will have it after the Shen family business is big, and some don't need to be taken care of." ”

Shen Yourong took Yang Lin's arm, whispered a few words, then tightened the red cloak on his body, and walked towards the direction of the main building with a smile.
