Puzhou, Yangfu.

Yang Zhongyi's conference hall sat Guo Yi, Wang Lixian, Fan Dongyang, and Shen Jing. Seeing Wang Lixian's face sad and indignant, Guo Yi was expressionless, and sighed secretly in his heart. Having received a letter from Jingli asking them to reopen their business immediately, even Yang Zhongyi couldn't help but have the heart to quit.

Wang Lixian is still bitterly talking about his encounter, and the old tears are flowing down.

Yang Zhongyi didn't say a word, but he was thinking about his family property. If the Nangong clan has the ability to withdraw, then the Yang family should also have this ability. However, the problem is that the Yang family and the Guo family have always accounted for the majority of this business, and the Nangong family has a small share after all, but if you withdraw yourself, what will you use to make up for this income? Such a big family, alas, ......, Yang Bo in the capital doesn't care at all, and every time he asks them not to do this, don't do that, as if he has never thought about how to feed the clansmen. Thinking about it like this, the newly raised heart of withdrawal slowly extinguished again. But you have to find a way, according to Yang Bo, Jin Yiwei is still staring. It took decades for Yang to have today, but it took a moment to pour.

Fan Dongyang saw that Yang Zhongyi seemed to be absent-minded, and couldn't help but interject: "Brother Yang, you can also say something." ”

Yang Zhongyi looked at Fan Dongyang and smiled bitterly, as if he didn't know what to say.

"This is all Nangong Dingkang's poisonous hand!" Wang Lixian said angrily, "It's a shame that we are still in-laws, and we are simply not human!" ”

Yang Zhongyi glanced at Wang Lixian. When he first bought the murderer, he raised his hands and feet to agree, and when he heard that Nangong Jin was seriously injured and was about to die, he was overjoyed and shouted, isn't it all this? Guo Yi didn't say anything, it seems that he won't be good.

Fan Dongyang couldn't help but jump up, "Brother Yang, Nangong Dingkang hasn't gotten it on us yet, do you want to wait for him to do it?" ”

Yang Zhongyi finally sighed, "There is no evidence for these things." ”

Wang Lixian said angrily: "What evidence do you need for this?!" Who else but him?! ”

Yang Zhongyi comforted: "I mean, we can only deal with this matter secretly. ”

Wang Lixian turned his head to Guo Yi and said, "The strange person you contacted last time ......." ”

Guo Yi said quietly: "She asks for a very high price. ”

"Nangong Dingkang has broken my long-cherished wish of three generations of the Wang family to serve the Ming Dynasty! Money, I don't care! "What Wang Lixian said was categorical.

"Nangong Pu's life is thirty-five thousand taels." Guo Yi paused.

The scene was silent in an instant. Guo Yi sneered secretly, after all, they are all businessmen, and if he is so indignant, one of his son's arms is still not worth 35,000 taels.

"It's not my business alone!" Wang Li took a look at everyone first. I calculated in my heart that five families would be divided equally, and one family would still be able to pay seven thousand taels.

"Then you're going to be prepared to die." Guo Yi said coldly.

Wang Lixian was stunned for a while, looked at Guo Yi and asked, "Brother Guo, what do you mean?" ”

Guo Yi didn't answer, his face was expressionless, and no one looked at it.

Shen Jing sat aside, a little scared and a little excited. These people are talking about murder, and the one who killed them is their son-in-law, and it is false to say that they are not afraid, but they still let themselves know that they are afraid that they really regard themselves as their own people.

"If you want me to say, what do you use for thirty-five thousand taels?" Fan Dongyang's heart hurts the silver, the last few thousand taels made him heartache for several days, this time he came again, no matter how he said it, it should be the bitter master, Nangong Dingkang didn't come to provoke himself. Without waiting for everyone's reply, he looked at Shen Jing, "Nangong Pu is Brother Shen's son-in-law, right?" ”

This sentence really frightened Shen Jing.

"Isn't that the end of it?" Fan Dongyang said it lightly, and he realized the meaning of his words.

Shen Jing's frightened hands trembled, and he opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.

Yang Zhongyi looked at everyone, they really had their own thoughts, and finally spoke: "Everyone has a lot of things, so I'll make a long story short." In this situation, Nangong Dingkang will definitely not cooperate anymore. The military department, alas, ....... But things still have to be done, and Kyori urged them several times, saying that the north has been asking for goods. Well, everyone knows it in their hearts. You still have to look forward, Brother Shen, do you say yes? ”

Shen Jing nodded hurriedly in a cold sweat, "Yes, yes." ”

"Okay, it turns out that the work here of the Nangong clan will be taken over by you, is there a problem?" Yang Zhongyi directly threw the burden to Shen Jing.

"I—I'm ......." Shen Jing stammered for a long time, how to take this job? The Shen family has never even opened a dart game.

Fan Dongyang laughed twice, stepped forward and patted Shen Jing on the shoulder, "It's just to form a caravan to get out of the customs, what difficulties can there be." Brother Shen hasn't done business outside the border, right? “

The Shen family really hasn't done the business outside the customs. Shen Jing had no choice but to smile and nod.

"That's okay, I'll ship the goods to Taiyuan tomorrow, it's still the old rule, let's go out of Taiyuan." Fan Dongyang looked at Guo Yi.

Guo Yi had a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't look at Shen Jing at all. "I don't have the goods this time, so I'll give you a thousand taels of shares."

Fan Dongyang and Wang Lixian were stunned at the same time. Is it possible, the Guo family wants to go it alone?

Yang Zhongyi is not surprised, I'm afraid that except for the Yang family, the Guo family looks down on everyone, so it's okay, as long as the Guo family withdraws, then the Yang family will justifiably retire, and let them play the rest. "Then it's settled, old rules. Brother Guo, when the time comes, I still want you to take care of it here. ”

"I'll do it." Guo Yi didn't look at everyone, and stood up, "Brother Wang wants the contact information of that strange person, and I will send someone to send it later." If there is something at home, say goodbye first. ”

**********

It has been almost ten days since Nangong Dingkang came to the West Courtyard again, and Nangong Pu came with him. Nangong Jin let out of the study, reunited their father and son, and went to the main hall with Nangong Dingkang. Soon, Nangong Pu also entered the main hall, smiled gratefully at Nangong Jin, and the three of them discussed until the beginning of the lantern.

In the next few days, Nangong Dingkang arrived every day. The whole plan is from the surface to the point, from the hypothesis to the handling of real problems, and the discussion between the two is becoming more and more realistic. Five days later, Nangong Dingkang asked him to write down the results of the discussion.

didn't care about the children for five days, basically Du Ling took the two children to do it on schedule. It was early today, and before dinner, Nangong Jin went to the study to take a look at it uneasily, but saw a strange scene.

Du Ling didn't know what to use as a textbook, and he spoke with relish, while Cheng Jun frowned and looked at the manuscript in his hand, trying to understand it, Cheng Rui also held a stack of manuscripts in his hand and cried anxiously. Seeing Nangong Jin coming in, he cried "wow".

Nangong Jin stepped forward in three steps and two steps, hugging Cheng Rui to comfort, "Don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Rui sobbed and said: "Rui'er, Rui'er is illiterate. Uncle, Rui'er doesn't recognize the words on it. After speaking, he hugged Nangong Jin and cried even more fiercely.

Being troubled by Cheng Rui, Du Ling stopped and looked at Nangong Jin at a loss. But Chengjun didn't listen to foreign affairs, and buried himself in research to figure it out.

Nangong Jin hugged Cheng Rui, picked up the manuscript that Cheng Rui put on the table, and after only reading a paragraph, he threw the manuscript directly on Du Ling, "What are you doing!" ”

Du Ling avoided it in embarrassment, and said aggrievedly, "What are you doing?" I've prepared it all carefully. A few days ago, I taught them to diagnose the pulse, as well as the medicinal properties of conventional medicines, and today I will analyze the medical case. ”

"You show them my medical case!" Nangong Jin said angrily.

Du Ling was even more aggrieved, "You are my patient, and besides, I have no one else in my hands except yours now." ”

"These two children are less than ten years old!" Nangong Jin was speechless.

"That's why I'm talking." Du Ling explained, "It was very good a few days ago, Chengjun also checked the pulse of the people in your hospital, and also diagnosed a person who suffered from wind and cold, and we also prescribed medicine." Look at Nangong Jin, "I don't believe you asked Chengjun." ”

Chengjun was still immersed in research, not caring what they were talking about.

And Cheng Rui hugged Nangong Jin, lay on his shoulder, and said in his ear while crying: "Uncle, will you die?" Rui'er doesn't want her uncle to die. ”

"Of course not. Did Uncle Du say that? Nangong Jin glanced at Du Ling unhappily. Du Ling was still very aggrieved.

"Then why did someone say that my uncle was going to die before, and now Uncle Xiao Du also said that my uncle has died, uncle, don't you want to die, okay?" Speaking of death, Cheng Rui's tears flowed again.

Nangong Jin picked up Cheng Rui, completely ignored Du Ling's complaining eyes, and walked out of the study, "No, we don't care what people say, my uncle really won't die." ”

Cheng Rui nodded, didn't know what to think, and said, "Uncle, I don't eat fish or meat anymore, and I don't want bamboo dragonflies anymore." ”

"Why?"

"The fish and pigs that we eat, they all died. Also, you have to cut down the bamboo to make a bamboo dragonfly, so the bamboo is also dead. I don't want ....... Cheng Rui still leaned on Nangong Jin's shoulder with tears.

Nangong Jin sat down in the corridor with Cheng Rui in his arms and asked, "Does Rui'er know what death is?" ”

Cheng Rui nodded sadly, "My mother said, but I will never see you again." ”

"Yes, never again. But, there are still ones. Maybe one day, my uncle is very old, very old, full of gray hair, his teeth have fallen out, and he can't walk...... ”

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Cheng Rui hurriedly covered Nangong Jin's mouth, and then thought about it, crying and hugging Nangong Jin desperately.

Nangong Jin patted him on the back, and when he was almost crying, he said softly: "However, at that time, Chengrui was also very old, and he had his own children, maybe he had his own grandchildren." ”

Cheng Rui sobbed for a long time and asked in a low voice, "Is it the same as grandpa?" ”

"yes. Someone calls Grandpa Chengrui, isn't it fun? Nangong Jin said with a smile.

Cheng Rui leaned on Nangong Jin, clasped the embroidery on his clothes with one hand, and kept silent.

Nangong Jin continued: "At that time, my uncle was going to leave. ”

"Where?" Cheng Rui looked up at Nangong Jin with a questioning face.

"Go to a place where everybody wants to go, but none of us have been there before."

Cheng Rui hesitated for a long time and asked softly: "Uncle, are you talking about death?" ”

Nangong Jin nodded, "Yes." There is a rule when we go to that place, that is, we can't take everything in this world with us. However, we can keep each other in our hearts. For example, when my uncle leaves, I will remember every day I was with Cheng Rui. Uncle believes that Cheng Rui will also let his uncle be in Cheng Rui's heart. When I miss my uncle, I close my eyes and think that we can make bamboo dragonflies together, grill fish together, and tell stories together, so happy, right? You know, uncle will also think together when you want to. So, even though we didn't see each other at the time, we did it all over again, right? ”

Cheng Rui shed tears again, pouted and said, "I don't want to never see ...... again." ”

"We'll meet again." Nangong Jin smiled and said, "When Cheng Rui's old teeth fall out and he can't walk, uncle will come to pick you up, okay?" ”

"Will my father, grandfather, and grandmother leave?" Cheng Rui said sadly.

"Yes." Nangong Jin nodded, not wanting to lie to him.

"Where's my brother?"

"Yes."

"That's not, only Cheng Rui is alone?" As he spoke, his sad expression lingered.

Nangong Jin continued to smile and said softly, "Of course not. You'll have a daughter-in-law, but you don't know her yet, and then it's like your father and your mother. You will have many sons and daughters, and your brother will have children, and they will call you uncle. What a family! Chengrui will never have only one person. ”

Cheng Rui thought for a while and asked, "Then, when I leave, can my father, grandfather, and grandmother also come to pick me up?" ”

"As long as you want, you will. However, it will be a long, long time. Nangong Jin picked up his hand, "Look, Cheng Rui is less than six years old now, how many years will it take for Cheng Rui to be one hundred years old?" ”

"A hundred?" Cheng Rui frowned, "Mr. hasn't taught it yet." ”

Nangong Jin scratched his nose, "Haha, it's going to be ninety-four years." A year is 360 days, and it will take 94 360 days. ”

Cheng Rui nodded as if he didn't understand, and stopped crying. "Uncle, we must do a lot of things together, so that Cheng Rui has a lot of things to think about."

"Good! Uncle will cook in a while, will you and your brother come to help together? We make crucian carp soup, sweet and sour ......"

"But I didn't even see these fish and pigs before they died, and I can't even think about anything related to them, what should I do?" Cheng Rui asked worriedly

"If you do bad things in this life and become a bad person, you will become a fish and a pig in the next life, only if a well-behaved child like Cheng Rui eats them, they will pay off their sins, and it is possible to become a human again in the next life. Does Chengrui help them? Thinking of the reincarnation of heaven and earth or something, Nangong Jin began to break nonsense, and he couldn't let his child only eat vegetarian.

Cheng Rui thought for a while, "Is bamboo too?" ”

"Bamboo is not, they don't know that they grow up in this world, although it grows all the time, but in fact, it is no different from cups, basins, houses, etc. So, we can play with bamboo dragonflies and eat vegetables. ”

Cheng Rui nodded obediently, and he didn't know if he really understood. After a long time, he asked softly: "Uncle, when will Cheng Rui be the same as his brother?" He knows a lot of words, and what Uncle Xiao Du gave, my brother can understand! It's really amazing! However, Cheng Rui didn't understand anything. ”

Nangong Jin said with a smile: "It's okay when you're the same age as your brother, but you have to be as powerful as your brother, and you have to be Chengrui who likes to write." Therefore, Chengrui must also work hard! ”

Cheng Rui nodded vigorously.
