At the same time that Fan Jin was enjoying the orchids that bloomed only for himself, the Yang family also welcomed a special guest, the nephew of the Song family, that is, Song Dingyuan, the son of Song Guofu.

After the Song family passed the door, there was not much movement with her mother's family, especially in the feudal years, the married daughter was also cautious in her dealings with her mother's family, for fear of being caught by others and becoming an excuse to attack herself. There are some exchanges, which are also carried out in private, and Song Dingyuan came to Yang's house to visit his aunt for the first time.

Fortunately, now that the Yang family is in charge of the Song family, even her younger brother and daughter-in-law were brought to bed by Fan, what else did she dare not do? Although the plaque is still Yang's house, it has actually become her own world, so there is no need to avoid anything like in the past.

Song Dingyuan is the second generation of the Song family, and has been trained as the successor of the family since he was a child. After seeing Song, without saying a word, he handed over the gift list first, Song only glanced at it, and handed it to the buckle on the side, and said lazily:

"Dingyuan, our family has been in business for several generations and has accumulated the next family business. Even if you don't do anything, you can live without food and clothing for the rest of your life. At the beginning, your father gave you this name because he hoped that you would go to the top of the imperial examination and change the door for our family. Look at the way you are now, you won't read this book? So a child, you actually started to do this, who came with you? ”

"If you go back to your aunt, it is Mr. Tian Min Yamada who accompanied the little nephew."

"Him!" Song snorted, "If the family wants to say that they have the ability, then they have to say that they are Tong Lao." Tian Minshan just opened his mouth well, and he could coax your father to be happy, so he treated him as Zhuge Liang, which is actually useless, but if your father wants to believe him, what can others do. Don't be fooled by him. This gift list is Tong Lao's idea, right? If it is sent by Tian Minshan, the contents of the first time will be less than 20%. ”

Song Dingyuan smiled and said: "My aunt is really Zhuge among women, and she is judging things as she sees, this is indeed what Tong Lao meant." In addition to the gift, Tong Lao also asked the little nephew to bring a sentence......"

Song interrupted his nephew's words with a wave of his hand, "Don't say it, I want to hear everything, I don't want to know anything." Your father did this, and it has nothing to do with me. The water spilled by the married daughter, even if the Song family raids the house in the future, it will not be able to copy my head. I eat and live well in Shangyuan, and I will be the head of the Chamber of Commerce in the future. I don't interfere in the salt business, and don't tell me, I don't want to hear it. For the sake of your aunt who called me, your aunt will support you for as long as you want to live in Shangyuan, but if you want me to do other things, I'm sorry, I don't have time. You know about the cousin I just gave birth to? The child is still young, so I won't let you see it, I'm going back to coax the child, you can play slowly by yourself. What's the matter, call you Aunt Detain. ”

Song Dingyuan hurriedly said: "Aunt stay!" Tong Lao specially instructed the little nephew that this sentence must be brought. Blood is thicker than water, glory and loss are shared! ”

He was still a big kid after all, and although he was working hard, he was still a little anxious at this time, and his voice was a little higher. Song frowned, "What are you shouting about?" If you scare your cousin, see if I don't clean you up! If it hadn't been for what it had been at the beginning, it would have been useful. Now that it's all come to this point, Tong Lao still wants to fool me with this set of tricky things, it's a joke! I kept my things in my own pawnshop, and when so many people took them away, where was the blood thicker than water? At that time, it became an extrovert for girls, and people with foreign surnames could take more if they were cheaper, and now they say that blood is thicker than water. Tong Lao is taking me for a fool, is he playing casually? ”

"Aunt is angry! The person who held you back your treasure has been fired. That's why he was confused for a while, just thinking about money, not family affection. You don't have to be like him. Now it is a major event for our Song family, and my aunt should also read it for the sake of the Song clan, and you can't be rash. Besides, the Song family and Fan Jin's fight is also a good thing for everyone. Even if it is for the sake of Master Fan, my aunt should think about making peace with both parties. Otherwise, our Song family will certainly be unlucky, and Master Fan may not be able to sit back and relax. ”

Song raised his eyebrows, "This is also what Tong Lao taught you?" I can't tell that you are young, but you have a good memory. When you reach your aunt's age, you may be a good player, but the premise is that the Song family will still be there at that time! ”

Song Dingyuan smiled and said: "Aunt, my little nephew believes that our Song family will not only be still there at that time, but also the family business will be prosperous and flourishing." At the moment, this little twist and turn will not really stump us. Dad and Tong Lao mean, they just don't want to make a big deal, everyone is a businessman, so there is no need for this. If Master Fan was forced to do so, then Dad would have to be forced to deal with it. ”

The expression on Song's face became more and more serious, "It seems that I underestimate you by treating you as a child." Kou'er, come over with tea and snacks, it's not my nephew who is here today, but the future head of my Song family, and I'm here to talk about business. Then you have to come out with a business talk! ”

Song Dingyuan hurriedly said that there was no need, and when the tea came, he hurriedly handed the fruit to the Song family's tea, but he was very filial. The two talked for about half an hour, and when Song Dingyuan said goodbye, Song actually sent him out in person.

Kou'er was a little puzzled: "He is not yet sixteen this year, that is, he is a half-old child, and Miss is his elder, why send him out?" ”

Song's face was gloomy and said, "You don't understand. This child is not an ordinary person, I see that his words and deeds have been cultivated at home according to the standards of the head of the family since he was a child, and he has a smart brain and some ability. When he is older, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult than my eldest brother. Don't look at me as his aunt, you have to be more attentive when you get along with him, otherwise you will suffer from him. You tell the sedan chair to prepare, and I'll go find Fan Lang. ”

"It's getting late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"No...... This cannot be delayed. Besides, at this time, you can show sincerity. The corners of Song's mouth turned up, revealing a hint of a smile. Not only will I go, but I will also take the Buddha with me. Although there are so many vixens around him, no one has given him a son. He only had to look at Buddha Bao to know who was best for him. ”

Kou'er suddenly said: "Miss, you actually still want to intercede for your family?" ”

"Tong Lao is right, blood is thicker than water. No matter what time it is, my surname is always Song. You can't really see death without help. However, saving people also requires a means, and human favor must be used on the blade. I know the temperament of retreat, if I want him to hand over someone, it will definitely not be possible, I can only hope that his subordinates will be merciful, for the sake of our master and servant serving him as a man, and I will give birth to a child for him, leaving a way back for the Song family. Hurry up and prepare the sedan chair, you go to hold the child, the more embarrassed we are, the more sincere we are. ”

When Song Dingyuan returned to the inn where he lived, Wang Xudeng also came back from Youlanju, and he knew that things had not worked out just by looking at his complexion. Waiting for the painting to unfold, Tian Minshan's brows immediately furrowed. "How can this be true? It's too much of a deception! Even if he is the son-in-law of Jiangling, he shouldn't lose face like this, and besides, he has not married him now, he is so domineering, and he will really be a guest of the Zhang family in the future, I am afraid that he will not be able to fit him in this world! ”

"Uncle Tian, don't say that. In the eyes of the little nephew, this painting is very good, worthy of the Danqing Holy Hand, the shot is extraordinary, and it is worthy of the character who has painted a portrait of the saint. According to the little nephew, even if it is Tong Lao's painter, it is a little inferior. Song Dingyuan couldn't put it down when he looked at the crab picture, and couldn't help but praise Fan Jin's painting skills. Tian Minshan shook his head secretly, and said in his heart that a child is a child, no matter how mature he looks, he can't tell the difference.

Song Dingyuan seemed to see what Tian Minshan was thinking, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Tian, do you feel that your little nephew is young and ignorant and doesn't know what to prioritize?" What should I worry about right now, shouldn't I just look at the paintings? ”

"Don't dare...... Students don't mean that. ”

"Uncle Tian and his father are good friends, and they are the elders of the little nephew, so they can say anything they want. The nephew is still young, and he doesn't understand a lot of things, so he relies on his uncles to mention something, otherwise how will he be in charge of the house in the future? Although Mr. Momoya was unable to ease the relationship between the two parties this time, he finally met and our sincerity was delivered. The ancients saluted first and then soldiers, no matter what happens in the future, our Song family is finally not rude, no one can blame us, right? ”

"That's true, but Fan Jin is always an official ......"

"Yes, he's an official!" Song Dingyuan smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of snow-white teeth. He glanced at Wang Xudeng, who understood that some words might not be convenient to say in front of him, so he took his leave. When he left, Song Dingyuan said: "Uncle Tian thinks that if the little nephew is studying, can he be an official?" ”

"The eldest prince is gifted and intelligent, if he is dedicated to studying, the title of the gold list refers to Gu Jian Shi. There is also the old man's strategy, and being an official is just a general probe for things. If the eldest prince has a career, it is the best, and it is too late to work hard. ”

Song Dingyuan smiled: "If the little nephew talks about the meaning of the article now, he naturally can't compare with the uncles, but when it comes to business, it is actually enough." Before the eldest father was developed, he didn't know a few words, which did not prevent him from getting rich in the slightest. The little nephew has thought about this question since the first day of study, what is the purpose of being an official? Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and now that my Song family has iron and wealth, what is the need to be an official? Again, it is to be a backer and protect wealth with power. But if you want to keep the Song family's privacy, petty officials are not useful. If you want to do it, you have to be a big official. But the rules of officialdom in the Ming Dynasty now, even if the little nephew wins the Dingjia, how long will it take for the father to break the furniture and make some money, before he can get to that position? Even if it is Yangzhou Mansion and the two Huaiyun Divisions, they all have to bow their heads in front of my father, and what is the use of being a sesame official? ”

"This ......" Tian Minshan was originally a clever debater among the Qing guests of the Song family, but in front of his own young master, who had not yet become a young master, he was speechless when asked.

Song Dingyuan said: "In fact, in the eyes of the little nephew, the most useful thing in the world is neither silver nor MG, but his own brain and fist. The silver can be lost, and the official can be stopped, but the brain is in himself, as long as he knows how to use the strategy, he can always deal with others, and he will not be blindly beaten and unable to fight back. As for the fist, it's even simpler, like Uncle Tian and the little nephew, even if there are officials with more money and no matter how big the official, if you meet a stunned young farmer who doesn't know our foundation, you will definitely suffer. If we have fists, no one needs to be afraid, no matter who wants to move us, we can fight and not be tied down. ”

Tian Minshan frowned slightly, although he tends to be inflammatory, and blindly catering to the Song family's father and son can always get fat. But now the eldest young master's idea has gone a little off track, and for a businessman, it is a little dangerous to think like this. He hurriedly said: "Da Shao, we are businessmen, not Jianghu people, fighting with people is done by rough people, let's not get involved." At most, give an order, and if you take out the money, someone will naturally do it. And now we are facing the government, it's okay to make a fuss, but we must not use force, that is to kill the head! ”

Song Dingyuan laughed, "Uncle Tian, look at what scares you." As soon as the little nephew said it casually, you took it seriously. The little nephew is powerless, and he can't even beat a servant, how can he still use force with others? Hello, let's rest, my little nephew is a little tired, go back and lie down. ”

Tian Minshan coughed, "The eldest prince is self-sufficient, you are still young, take care of your body, if your body is weak, Mrs. will not agree." ”

He didn't say this out of feeling, he came with Song Dingyuan, and there was a pungent girl with a lovely appearance. Although Song Dingyuan's age has also reached the time of marriage in a poor family, the Song family is now rich and noble, and they attach great importance to their sons. Song Dingyuan was very careful, and he didn't feel ashamed at all, so he only smiled and went back to the room.

In the room, the girl with a double bun on her fiery red head was in a daze in the room, and she got up excitedly to greet Song Dingyuan when she saw him come back. The two came to the bed hand in hand, and the girl obediently snuggled into Song Dingyuan's arms and let him caress her. As the daughter of a stove household, although she is full of martial arts, it is useless, and being favored by the eldest young master is the opportunity for her family to turn over. What's more, Song Dingyuan is dignified, and he doesn't know how many daughters have a dream lover, and it is impossible for her to refuse.

Along the way, she has sacrificed her most precious daughter, Song Dingyuan is the whole of her life, and she naturally obeys his words. Leaning on her lover's shoulder and listening to him for a long time, the girl looked up at her sweetheart in some surprise, and her tone was hesitant: "Tie ...... Tie up your cousin? Isn't that not good? ”

"Silly girl, you also said that it was my cousin, how can it be called a tie-up? I want to play with my cousin for a few days, can't I? I just ask if you listen to me or not? ”

"Everyone is already yours, so they naturally have to listen to you. If you want us to do it, we will do it. ”

"That's good. Don't rush things at this time, observe before you start. Jiao Mei is my heart's meat, I don't want you to be touched a little. When you do it, just let your brothers get on it, and don't do it to avoid getting hurt. But if anyone gets caught......"

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan, we all know what to say. Everyone has received the favor of Master Song and will not talk nonsense. Even if they catch me, I won't say a word. ”

"I believe in you, little darling......"

The two young men fell on the bed, and Yu Gu naturally couldn't talk about it. When the girl fell asleep in shyness, Song Dingyuan's eyes were still as clear as water. The beautiful woman was hugging, but what he was thinking of was another woman, an ugly and arrogant woman. The woman was ugly and rude, and had no good in her, except that she had a father who was a commanding officer.

Father, mother, aunt, Tian Minshan...... You are all too stupid to blindly show weakness with the government, and you will only be treated as pigs and killed by them for the New Year. If we have the wealth of an enemy country, we should have an equal position. What you lost, I will find a way to get it back. Talented and delicate, what about these? Let's fight this time to see whose means are smart.

Looking back at the girl's wheat-colored skin, Song Dingyuan sighed in his heart: It's a good woman, but it's a pity that she will die soon. If you don't die, how can I make friends with Fan Jin, and how can your father be at odds with him? Huaishang stove household and Fan Jin don't share the sky, see what other courage he has to go to Yangzhou. If you can enjoy it for a while, you can enjoy it for a while.

Thinking of this, he had already made a decision in his heart to give this girl a few of the best jewelry before leaving Shangyuan, and then fell asleep peacefully.
