The discussion was proper, lunch was also ready, Xu Yaozong, who had something on his mind, did not persuade Shen Yue to drink, the two had a meal in a hurry, Shen Yue said goodbye and left, and went to Dinghai County to find Feng Zhen, Xu Yaozong's in-law.

Xu Yaozong looked for cloves and said that the Zhang family fell in love with Shen Yue and wanted to marry the Shen family.

"Isn't this a deliberate thing that kid wants to get married as soon as possible and tied the Xu family to the Shen family's boat?" Lilac frowned and suspected that the Zhang family was an official eunuch, how could it be so, he didn't find a matchmaker, and Zhang Shanlu came to the door in person.

Xu Yaozong shook his head with a wry smile, "Madam, why are you smart and confused for a while, what good is that kid deliberately making it up?" The Zhang family clearly looked at this kid's potential. ”

"The Zhang family is not an ordinary family! Zhang Peiju is the head of the household department of the second grade of the imperial court! Lilac gave herself a blank look.

She felt that this matter was completely likely to be Shen Yue's means to bind the Xu family envoy, before she went to the Zhang family for a long time, Qin Yulian had always been preparing to let the two children get married as soon as possible.

Now the Xu family wants to observe, dragging out time, the other party may have discovered something.

"Zhang Peiju is a second-grade official of the imperial court, yes. But Zhang Shanlu is not Zhang Peiju's own son! Even if Zhang Shanlu is in their side, he is only three rooms, and when he meets a good family, will he disagree? Moreover, he is a merchant, and a merchant seeks profit. Xu Yaozong felt that he could understand this matter better than Lilac.

He is not a high-level member of the imperial court, and his vision is not as accurate as the old guy who has been up and down for decades, but he also knows that the marriage of descendants has a great relationship with the entire family.

The higher the official position, the more attention is paid to the marriage of the descendants of the family, not to make the descendants live better, but to use the marriage of the descendants to bring help to the cause.

There are few girls in the Zhang family, but letting Zhang Shanlu's daughter marry Shen Yue, a businessman with no reputation, is already strange.

"So, isn't that kid really lying to us about this?"

"If he really wants to get married, with Jiao'er's character, the two of them have cooked rice from raw rice, who is in a hurry?" Xu Yaozong considers the problem from the standpoint of a man. "Back then, your parents didn't agree, don't we also cook raw rice into mature rice......

Hearing this, Lilac glanced at Xu Yaozong, "You are not ashamed, you are not ashamed, you are down to business!" ”

Xu Yaozong smiled awkwardly, when he said this, Lilac also understood.

Immediately said, "I'll go to the Shen family to investigate, since Shen Yue said that Zhang Shanlu proposed it in front of Qin Yulian, from Qin Yulian, he should be able to find out some words." ”

Lilac immediately instructed the housekeeper to prepare a sedan chair, brought some snacks and went to Xu's house.

Now, the arrival of the Shen family has brought vitality to the entire Longshan Institute.

All the families borrowed money and grain from the Shen family can support a period of time, and the artisan households have already started work, and the military households that were not selected for Shen Yueminzhuang, either the women helped the Shen family sew clothes and shoe soles, or the young people went to the military craftsmen to help, or helped the Shen family build a public loft, and the salary was expensive, 30 yuan a day.

The children are well fed, and they become more energetic, and they are full of joy and play.

The wharf will become an important follow-up processing area for the Shen family's whaling, and the whales caught will be refined at the wharf to refine whale oil, and the dried whale meat will also have to be processed, and even the internal organs will also need to be processed into feed or fertilizer.

Every time Lilac walks on the street that is not wide, she can find the impact of the Shen family's arrival on Longshan.

Compared with the Xu family, the Shen family is the key to changing Longshan.

"Yo, Sister Lilac, the gust of wind blew you here?" Qin Yulian was still as polite as before to Lilac's arrival, but Lilac found a faint estrangement in her expression.

"Sister Yulian, I'm idle at home and have nothing to do, Shen Yue is also back, I don't know about the marriage of the two children, what do you think?" Lilac was not polite, and went straight to the point, "Shen Yue came to my house before and expressed his hope to marry Jiao'er as soon as possible. Marriage has always been the order of my parents, and the words of the matchmaker, I naturally have to ask Sister Yulian's thoughts. ”

Qin Yulian's face stiffened, and a smile quickly appeared on her face to cover it, "This matter has also been mentioned by Yue'er, it is a good thing, but my lord has not returned yet, the lord is not at home, and the child is married, this matter is ......"

Lilac's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Qin Yulian had always hoped to let her child get married as soon as possible, and the declining Shen family had no better marriage partner than the Xu family.

Now, Shen Defu is actually used to prevaricate, and everyone knows that it is unlikely that Shen Defu will come back.

"That's just as well. However, when the rich brother went to sea, he missed the return date, and if he went to the West, he would not be able to return after a few years. "As a smart woman, Ding Xiang will naturally not expose Qin Yulian.

Shen Defu has not returned from going to sea for a long time, and everyone knows what it means.

"Even so, we can only wait! My Yue'er and your Xu Jiao are still young! Qin Yulian said lightly.

She obviously forgot that half a month ago, she went to the door of the Xu family, saying that Shen Defu had not returned from going to sea for a long time, perhaps something had happened, and the Shen family could not have no queen, and hoped that the two children would get married as soon as possible, so as not to cut off the incense of the Shen family.

Now, this attitude makes it clear to Lilac that what Shen Yue said is not a lie.

Qin Yulian didn't pick it out, and she naturally didn't pick it out, so she didn't talk about it anymore, and began to talk to Qin Yulian about the changes that the Shen family had brought to Longshan.

After Shen Yue came out of Xu's house, under the leadership of Yang Shan, the general banner who went to sea with him, the two rode towards Dinghai County, dozens of miles away, and the horseback riding took less than two hours.

Along the way, Yang Shan introduced what he knew about Feng Zhen, especially the fact that he not only did not deduct the food and salary of the military households, but also did not coincidentally seize the land of the military households, which made Shen Yue a little admired.

"Boy Shen Yue, I've seen a thousand households!" Facing Feng Zhen, Shen Yue was really a little curious, and when he saw the burly man in front of him wearing civilian clothes to mend his scars, he admired it even more, and exchanged the original silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver for one thousand taels and handed it to Feng Zhen, "A little little courtesy, not a respect." ”

Feng Zhen and Xu Yaozong are in-laws, and Shen Yue has a marriage contract with Xu Yaozong's three daughters, and the two parties are also relatives.

Shen Yue took out the silver ticket, at first Feng Zhen thought it was only a silver ticket of fifty taels or even twenty taels, but after seeing the amount, he couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't dare to take the silver ticket. "The virtuous nephew is so respectful, how dare the old man accept it!"

The first time we met, I gave such a heavy gift, and the things I asked for must be not small.

Feng Zhen didn't want more silver, but he didn't want to take some silver.

"The boy came in a hurry, and did not prepare a gift. The first time I met an adult, a little courtesy, not a respect. The adults are high-spirited and bright, which really makes the kid admire, not to mention, our two families can be regarded as relatives......" Shen Yue said very sincerely.

People like Feng Zhen are worthy of his association.
