Chapter 52: Winning the hearts and minds of the people

After figuring out the ins and outs, Shang Yunqian finally returned to the General's Mansion.

first asked Shang Zhan to report the situation, and after hearing Shang Zhan ask Ye Chonghua what he meant, Shang Yunqian replied.

"Grandpa didn't say whether he would hand over the Ye family to me."

Shang Zhan knocked on the side, "Then when you come back, does your grandfather have any other explanations?" ”

"My grandfather said that I should go to Yefu every month to sit down, firstly, to accompany him, and secondly, to let people teach me some business things, and by the way, learn management and so on."

Hearing this, Shang Zhan's eyes narrowed.

"Then you have to listen to your grandfather's words and go back and walk around at any time, so let's arrange for my father to arrange people for you at the beginning of each month in the future, and escort you directly over."

Shang Yunqian could see through his thoughts at a glance, but he didn't say anything, "Then there is Father Lao." ”

Looking at this well-behaved daughter, Shang Zhan became more and more satisfied, but it was a pity that Shang Yun was shallow......

Thinking of some of the past, Shang Zhan quickly came back to his senses.

So what does it matter, in short, now, Shang Yunqian is his daughter.

Moreover, maybe he will become the next head of the Ye family.

Now, Shang Yunqian is still friendly with Jiuqiansui, whether it is the Ye family or Jiuqiansui, as long as this daughter is still there, the benefits he gets from it are considerable.

Thinking like this, Shang Zhan suddenly felt that he had neglected this daughter in the past few years, and instructed the housekeeper, "Butler, Yun Qian has worked hard to travel, you go and tell the kitchen to make some supplements for her to replenish her body, in addition, I heard that Yun Qian was frightened on the road, so you go and bring the jade Ruyu given by the emperor and give it to Yun Qian to suppress the shock." ”

Shang Yunqian raised his eyebrows slightly, but he didn't say anything to refuse.

No one is disgusted with too much money, and she is no exception.

And she deliberately informed Shang Zhan of this matter, in order to protect Shang Zhan.

"Thank you, father."

Shang Zhan smiled and nodded, extremely eagerly, "Yun Qian has worked the road, go back and rest." ”

Shang Yun hesitated and did not leave.

Shang Zhan restrained a little smile, and asked patiently, "Yun Qian, what else is going on?" ”

"I heard that the third sister was locked up."

"Shang Yunfei made a mistake."

Shang Yun smiled lightly, "On the way here, I also heard some things, father, the third sister is still young, and she should know that she is wrong after being locked up for so many days." ”

Shang Zhan pursed his lips, Shang Yunfei didn't make any big mistakes.

He had also planned to release it in the next two days.

Right now, since Shang Yunqian took the initiative to speak.

How could he not do this favor, "Since you begged for mercy, then I will let her go." ”

"The daughter thanked her father."

"If it's okay, go back and rest early."

After Shang Yunqian left, the housekeeper finally withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

Since the last incident, he has known that this seemingly low-key second young lady will be very unusual if she plays tricks.

It seems that he made the right choice at the beginning.

"Master, the second lady is young, I'm afraid I can't quite understand the meaning of the old lady of the Ye family, do we need to make some mention?"

These words are undoubtedly reminding Shang Zhan that Shang Yunqian has been recognized by Ye Chonghua.

Shang Zhan was straight, and he didn't hear the meaning of the housekeeper's words, but for Shang Yunqian, he had his own considerations.

"Not for now." Then he added, "You order, from today onwards, if I find anyone who dares to be disrespectful to the second young lady, they will be dealt with by military law." ”

The butler nodded, and resigned to the retreat.

Not long after leaving, I saw Shang Yunqian walking slowly.

The appearance is very casual, and when you look closely, it looks like you are waiting for someone.

Seeing that there was no one around, the butler walked up quickly.

After saluting properly, he stood quietly behind him.

"How are the housekeepers doing during this time?"

"Second Miss Hongfu, everything is fine."

Shang Yunqian looked at the housekeeper and seemed to be smiling, "Being forced to tie up with that ugly woman is really embarrassing for you." ”

The butler's smile stiffened slightly.

"I know that you must be unwilling in your heart, and if it were me, I would not be willing to be involved with that kind of woman."

A little sweat was already overflowing on the butler's forehead, "Second Miss, you ......"

"I'm just saying it casually, you don't have to care."

The housekeeper lowered his head, but in his heart, he was thinking about whether he was wrong to come up like this?

At this moment, Shang Yunqian spoke again, "The housekeeper is also old, it's time to start a family." ”

didn't understand what Shang Yunqian was going to do, the housekeeper could only stand in place with a smile, not daring to answer.

"In this general's mansion, is there someone the housekeeper fancies?"

"Second Miss laughed, old slave ......"

"You don't have to be embarrassed, children are long, it's human nature, who doesn't have seven emotions and six desires? Don't worry, if you have a woman you like, you can tell me, no matter what your identity is, I will be able to make you wish. ”

Hearing this, the housekeeper's eyes lit up.

He is over forty years old, and he has long been itchy to see other people's wives and concubines, and now, he has also found the girl he likes, but because of the previous incident, the two can only sneak around......

After thinking about it, the housekeeper knelt down directly, "If the second lady has any instructions, please just say that the old slave must be dead and dead." ”

The corners of Shang Yun's shallow lips hooked slightly, and he reached out to help the housekeeper up, "It's just a few small things, it doesn't have to be so tragic." ”

Saying this, Shang Yunqian slid the bracelet in his hand into the butler's hand, "The butler has been in the General's Mansion for a long time, and his seniority is much older than Yun Qian, so he must have some of his own power?" ”

Without waiting for the housekeeper to speak, she commanded softly, "You just need to help me keep an eye on the movements of the eldest lady and the eldest sister at all times." ”

Hearing that the errand was so simple, and he got a bracelet, the housekeeper's eyes were bright, and after thanking Shang Yunqian, he left quickly.

I haven't seen him for more than a month, and the child seems to be a little taller again.

When he saw Shang Yunqian, his eyes flickered slightly, and he was a little shy, but he didn't dare to step forward.

"Miss, the third aunt is here."

Shang Yunqian nodded and ordered someone to make tea.

As soon as she saw Shang Yunqian, the third aunt knelt down in a hurry, "Thank you Second Miss for saving your life." ”

"The third aunt is serious."

"The concubine has negative expectations for the second miss, but the second miss is not only to blame, but just came back and asked the master to release Feifei, and the concubine is ......"

Shang Yunqian let Lin Long help him up, "No matter how you say that the third aunt is also an elder, how can you make such a big gift to Yun Qian, hurry up." ”

The third aunt raised her head, and it was also at this time that Shang Yunqian saw her appearance clearly.

The third aunt was born in Qinglou and has always been very concerned about her appearance.

Although she gave birth to a child and is quite old, she is still a beautiful embryo.

In addition, it has been properly maintained before, so it will be held in the palm of the hand by the business war for so many years.

In my impression, my aunt has always cleaned herself up meticulously, and now she looks so haggard for the first time.

"Second Miss, the concubine will never forget it in her life."

The third aunt was full of sadness, Shang Zhan's approach this time really broke her heart.

I never thought that that person would be so ruthless that he wouldn't even let go of his daughter.

She didn't believe it, Shang Zhan wouldn't know Yun Fei's temperament?

It's just a contradiction, as for being locked up for so many days?

That child is stubborn by nature, it's not her fault, how can she admit it?

Yes, these days, I have suffered a lot, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

When she went to pick her up today, the boy had already fainted.

Fortunately, the doctor said that it was not a big problem, and it would be fine after a few days of rest.

Because of this, she was even more grateful to Shang Yunqian.

If she hadn't rescued Yun Fei in time, something might have happened to the child.

With a slight movement in his mind, Shang Yunqian couldn't help but speak, "The third aunt is older than Yunqian, she should know the truth that women are allowed to say this for those who please themselves." ”

The faint words made the third aunt stunned for a moment, and then laughed bitterly, "The master has never had me in his heart, no matter what I dress up in, I am always not as ...... as the eldest lady."

"Does Father like the Great Lady?" Without waiting for the third aunt to speak, Shang Yunqian had already interrupted.

I didn't understand what Shang Yunqian meant, but the third aunt also answered truthfully, "The master once told the concubine that he had never liked the eldest lady, and his marriage with the eldest lady was also set by the parents of both parties. ”

Shang Yunqian nodded, "Isn't that right?" ”

The third aunt's eyes flashed, and some thoughts flowed quickly in her mind, but she couldn't make up her mind.

"Yun Qian has always felt that the third aunt is a smart person, you should know that being in the General's Mansion, blindly retreating, not only will not be respected by others, but will give others a chance, those people will cut the grass and eradicate the roots when you are most vulnerable."

The third aunt trembled slightly.

Shang Yunqian continued, "Aren't my mother and me the best columns? Everyone knows that the person my father loves the most is his mother, who has a noble status, a gentle temperament and is unwilling to fight, so she repeatedly gave in, but in the end, she not only lost the love of business wars, but now, even her life is gone......"

"Second Miss, what do you mean, Second Lady, she is ......"

Shang Yunqian took a sip of tea, his expression was not sad or happy, "I thought the third aunt knew." ”

Suddenly knowing this secret, the third aunt was frightened, and fell to the ground, Lin Long on one side, a little guilt flashed in her eyes.

"I always thought that the eldest lady would not dare to hurt people's lives at will, even if she was bold......"

"Being in a powerful family, you should be walking on thin ice, but it is not advisable to blindly back down."

"In the past, the eldest lady dared to attack me and my mother, and in the future, she will also attack you."

"No, no, won't ......"

Shang Yun was aggressive, "How could it not?" In the eyes of the eldest lady, except for her own life, other people's are nothing at all. If anyone stops her and Shang Yunyan's steps, she will not hesitate to eradicate them......"

The third aunt's eyes became more and more frightened, "But, but with the old man here, he won't let the eldest lady mess around." ”

Shang Yunqian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What kind of status is the eldest lady?" If her father dared to take care of her, this general's mansion would not be like this. ”

Furthermore, with his father's current status, what kind of woman did he want? Without a second lady or a third aunt, it doesn't matter, at most he will be sad for a moment, and when new interests are born, he will forget the old people...... Third aunt, my father is only in his forties now, do you think ...... Will he be willing to have just a few of you? ”

"But my lord said that I would never let anyone hurt me in my life......"

Shang Yunqian almost said it, how many words did the man say on the bed come true? The exit became, but it became, anyone, but not including him. ”

She said, "When you married my mother, maybe it was because she liked it, but you see, after my mother retreated behind the scenes and broke off the relationship with the Ye family, how did my father treat her? Once, I married you, maybe because of your beauty, if you even have to give up this root now, I am afraid that the fate of the third aunt and the third sister will be even more tragic than ours. ”

The third aunt's face completely turned pale.

Once, she listened to the eldest lady's words and still remembered the matter of designing Shang Yunqian, if it weren't for Shang Yunqian's cleverness, I am afraid that it would have been ......

Thinking of those pasts, the third aunt couldn't help but shudder.

She knew that Shang Yunqian was not alarmist, but she didn't want to admit it in her heart.

But now, Shang Yunqian has made everything clear, and she can't afford not to face it.

She used to be the eldest lady and did a lot of things for her.

But now, she only got a piece of the pie, and she wants to fight for their mother and son like this.

To say that you don't hate is false.

The third aunt gritted her teeth secretly, the last incident was also designed by the eldest lady, in order to protect Shang Yunfei, she even took the initiative to admit her guilt, and did not say that she was not at all in front of the master.

But the result?

What she got was the extermination of the eldest lady.

is reasonable, whether it is for herself or Shang Yunfei, she should not have the mind of retreating.

There are some rights, she does not fight, and she will die.

But if you want to die if you fight, you can only blame fate for being unfair.

At the very least, she will not leave regrets in her life.

At least, she worked on it.

Shang Yunqian was right.

She should have thought for herself.

The third aunt wiped away the tears on her face, and the entanglement in her eyes was no longer there, replaced by a firmness.

She knelt down again, "Please also ask the second lady to show the way." ”

Seeing that she finally figured it out, Shang Yunqian personally pulled her up, smiled and said, "There are some things, it's not that I'm cruel, but because I've experienced it myself, so I know how powerful it is, and I ask my aunt not to blame Yun Qian for this." ”

"If it weren't for the second miss, how would our mother and son have a chance to live? Now the second lady is giving advice to our mother and son regardless of her previous suspicions, although I am stupid, I am not a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong. How dare you blame the second lady? ”

"It's good that my aunt knows."

"It's just that the concubine has something unclear, and I ask the second lady to give advice."

"Huh?"

"I just said it, between me and the second lady...... There have been some festivals, but now, why is the second lady still willing to help me? The third aunt quickly glanced at Shang Yunqian, and hurriedly said, "Of course, I know that this request is a bit excessive, if the second lady doesn't want to answer, it doesn't matter, I ......"

"As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend." Shang Yunqian smiled slightly, and said directly, "The eldest lady harmed my mother's life, I must avenge this revenge, this is one of the reasons." ”

Shang Yunqian's uprightness made the third aunt put away her doubts.

It is not a small matter for the eldest lady to harm the second lady, and it is not small for Shang Yunqian to take revenge to get rid of the eldest lady, since Shang Yunqian dares to tell her, it will not harm her.

"Second ......"

Shang Yunqian's mind was a little distant, she said, "I won't tell you, I never think I'm a good person, on the contrary, I have a grudge against me, I remember everything that hurt me, but I will never forget the ...... who helped me."

"However, I have clearly hurt the second lady before." When she said this, the third aunt hung her head very low, as if she felt guilty for her stupidity.

In this regard, Shang Yunqian did not shy away from it, "Yes, you have hurt me, but ...... You've helped me too. ”

The third aunt looked up, and it was obvious that she didn't remember it.

"It was a long time ago, and it's normal for my aunt not to remember."

Shang Yun smiled lightly, and then said, "At that time, I was still young, my mother had just fallen out of favor, and the third aunt had just entered the door at that time, and I was forced to separate from my mother and need to live alone. ”

Following Shang Yunqian's words, the third aunt's thoughts also returned to the time when she had just entered the mansion.

In my mind, the figure of a little girl appeared superficially.

"One day, I was so hungry that the maids and maids didn't pay attention to me, saying that a big man came to the house to join in the fun, and the third aunt who passed by gave me food."

The third aunt suddenly remembered this incident.

But the reason why she took Shang Yunqian to eat at that time was mostly to show her generosity and kindness to Shang Zhan.

At this moment, when he heard that Shang Yunqian had extended a helping hand to their mother and daughter one after another because of this incident, the shame in his heart continued to expand.

How could Shang Yunqian not know her thoughts?

She smiled slightly, "Maybe the third aunt had ulterior motives at the time, but at least I survived because of your food, so the reason is that it doesn't matter to me, I only remember your kindness." ”

"Later, you did do some unreliable things, no matter what, it didn't hurt me after all, yes, the merits and demerits are offset, and I can treat all the previous things as if they didn't happen."

The third aunt burst into tears, remorse, and guilt were intertwined, making her sad beyond measure, "Second Miss, I'm ...... I apologize to you for what I did before, it was the concubine's fault, it was the concubine's fault......"

Shang Yunqian nodded and took her apology.

The grievances between the two are completely settled to this day.

"Bringing down the eldest aunt is not something that can be done overnight, today, I will tell you what I think in my heart, and I hope that my aunt can keep her mouth shut."

"The concubine knows, please rest assured."

"Then, from now on, we will be people in the same boat, and I hope that in the future, we can cooperate happily with the third aunt."

"Okay."

"Since it is cooperation, naturally divide the results in advance, I will help you get the rights of the General's Mansion, but you need to help me get rid of the eldest lady, can the third aunt have any objections to this transaction?"

The third aunt hurriedly shook her head, she originally wanted to get rid of the eldest lady with Shang Yunqian, and after that, Shang Yunqian was in charge of the General's Mansion, so according to their current relationship, they could also gain a foothold in the General's Mansion.

At this time, Shang Yunqian still wanted to give her rights. How could she disagree?

"Everything is arranged by the second lady."

"Auntie, don't worry, after the matter is completed, you will stay in the General's Mansion with peace of mind, as for me...... Most of the time it's leaving, so you don't have to worry about me getting in the way or backwatering. ”

"Leave? Second Miss, where are you going? ”

Shang Yun frowned, "I haven't thought about where to go for the time being, maybe I will go back to the Ye family and stay by my grandfather's side to do my filial piety, or maybe I will travel all over the world and go anywhere I want." In short, no matter what, I will not stay in the General's Palace. ”

In my mind, the scene of that year resurfaced, the reason why those maidservants wanted to see the noble man regardless of whether she lived or died was because the noble man was a twilight cultivator.

The maidservant's departure has nothing to do with Twilight Xiuran, but he is the fuse of this matter after all.

Whether unintentional or deliberate, the relationship between her and Twilight Xiu Dye can be regarded as a seed since childhood.

Twilight Xiuran, you wait for me.

Soon, I'll come to you.

"Second Miss?"

"What's wrong?" Shang Yun came back to his senses, only to find that several people in the room had been staring at her, and only then did he realize that he had been distracted again just now.

"What advice does the second lady have for the current situation of the concubine?"

Shang Yunqian looked around the third aunt, "The third aunt is already good-looking, if you put some effort into dressing, you may be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"Huh?"

"I've observed that your usual clothes are too fancy, and they may attract a man's eye, and if you see too much, you will feel that it is nothing more than that. The third aunt may wish to dress up more elegantly, which may have a different effect. ”

As the old saying goes, when you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous person.

It's true that a man is romantic, but after the romance, what he needs is someone who can understand him, tolerate him, and accompany him.

In other words, what they need is a flower of interpretation, not a beautiful vase.

Shang Yunqian continued, "The third sister was sick, and the third aunt took care of her all day long, washing her face with tears, her body was getting thinner and thinner, and she finally ......fell ill."

The third aunt's eyes lit up, and Shang Yunqian's move was logical, "Pretend to be weak." "Sounds good.

Now, Shang Zhan refuses to come to her yard, but if he hears that she is sick.

Whether it's because of the old love or the eyes of the outside world, how can he appear.

As soon as he appears, it's time for her to show off her skills and change completely.

Moreover, after these two tribulations, if she said that she had thought clearly, she would not be against the eldest lady in the future, and she would also discipline her daughter well and serve Shang Zhan well......

Presumably, there will be no suspicion in the business war.

"But what about after winning his favor?"

At this moment, the third aunt completely regarded Shang Yunqian as the backbone, and completely forgot that the girl in front of her was still a child.

Shang Yun pursed his lips and thought about it, and said after a while, "After winning a good impression, I naturally want to find a way to leave him behind, my father's identity is not ordinary, what haven't I seen on weekdays?" So, we need something special. ”

"What's special?"

"In addition to creating a warm scene that he is reluctant to leave when he comes, it is also necessary to make him feel at home." Speaking of this, Shang Yunqian squinted his eyes and looked at the third aunt, "I heard that my aunt will make some pastries before, do you remember it now?" ”

With only one sentence, the third aunt knew what Shang Yunqian was thinking, "Over the years, she has been pampered and her craftsmanship has regressed, but the second lady can rest assured, she will go to learn after the concubine goes back, and the storage is better than before." ”

Shang Yunqian nodded, "In addition to pastries, the third aunt might as well observe her father's usual preferences." ”

The third aunt nodded again and again.

If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab the man's stomach.

Anyway, learning the same is learning, and learning a few things is learning.

After hearing Shang Yunqian's words, she even germinated the idea of learning to cook.

She didn't believe it, this act couldn't win a business war.
