Chapter 57: Shen Wuyan's View of Love
Shen Wuyan on the Li family's side has not been caring about it recently, and the affairs of Yulong Street and Shao Fang have been a little out of control. He didn't expect Shao Fang to hide so deeply that he actually put himself in it.
So much so that until now, Shen Wuyan still doesn't know who Shao Fang's person behind the scenes is, and he is worried about advancing and retreating, and the lesser of two evils can only respond to his statement and finish this matter.
Fortunately, Hu Yuming really responded to Shao Fang's expectations, and now the Hu family has taken in most of the outlaws in the past in Yulong Street, and some other famous people in the Hu family don't seem to care about this matter.
Probably because there are too many problems that the Hu family is about to face now, these things on Hu Yuming's side are basically ignored by them, but they don't know that the enemy is pervasive.
Probably Shen Wuyan, who was outside the bureau, gradually saw all this clearly, but he couldn't think of how to break this situation, and couldn't help but feel that the person the Hu family offended this time was really not simple.
But he doesn't have too much guilt, he doesn't care about the death or life of the Hu family, and he wants to kill himself several times, and it is also appropriate to give them some lessons and some silver, at least he won't kill them.
Shao Fang hadn't been here since he left that day, and he handed over several letters during the period, mostly describing the progress of the matter, all of which were still being expected.
Shen Wuyan picked a time to go to the Li Mansion.
Xu is the turmoil within the Li family, which has led to the current Li Wan'er being imprisoned in her house and unable to go out, coupled with the previous encounter in Shaoxing, even Li Xingchang did not dare to let Li Wan'er go out easily.
Fortunately, Yulong Street disappeared overnight, and the big stone in Li Wan'er's heart gradually let go, but her thoughts about the slightly debauched scholar deepened, especially the day of the clan meeting was getting closer and closer.
Li Xingchang still understood his daughter's mind after all, and specially sent Cai'er to hand Shen Wuyan a letter, although it was just to talk about something, but in essence, it was to let Li Wan'er meet Shen Wuyan.
The Li family has a big business, and now although Li Xingchang is the head of the family, he still can't make decisions about many things, such as marrying his own daughter, and even asking the family to agree.
Every time he thought of this, he was very impatient, but the seventh uncle and the people of the Yigan clan looked at him with blank eyes, always worried that if the Hu family cut off contact, the Li family would be in big trouble.
Therefore, there is something to do in inviting Shen Wuyan over today.
Shen Wuyan came here alone today, the teahouse and restaurant were very busy at the end of the year, and Yue'er couldn't spare time to come over, Wang Tian Shen Wuyan had other arrangements, he had already gone out, he could only come by himself.
In the early winter, the weather was actually warm at noon, Shen Wuyan first went to Shufang Street for a turn, and after explaining the books he wanted recently, he went to Li's house after lunch.
It can be seen from Li Xingchang's performance in the hall that he has waited for a long time, and there is no joy on his face.
While listening to Shen Wuyan talk about some interesting things recently, he drank tea slightly, and after a while, he suddenly smiled: "The Mulan Ci of Wuyan is really a work of genius. ”
Mulan Ci is certainly a good product, but Shen Wuyan knows very well that this is just a prestige among literati. And for the Li family and those people of the Li family, it is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.
Li Xingchang was also absent-minded when he mentioned this, and he was probably also thinking about how to deal with those difficult clansmen in five days.
"The younger generation doesn't know that there is a sentence that should be said ...... inappropriate"
Li Xingchang put the tea set on the table, sighed, and said, "Don't talk about it." ”
Shen Wuyan nodded, and stopped talking.
Li Xingchang then continued: "It's just to ask why I would go against the wishes of the entire family for you, in fact, you are a smart person, and I don't want to deceive you." ”
"Please also ask my uncle to speak clearly." Shen Wuyan said respectfully.
Li Xingchang suddenly got up and laughed: "If it weren't for your father Shen Wansan, the Li family would have been reduced to a prisoner long ago. ”
Shen Wuyan had heard Yue'er mention this before, and it was already an old thing many years ago. Since the Li family was able to send someone over to withdraw from the marriage before, then there is no need to believe all the words of gratitude.
"What's more, you are not extraordinary without words, a copy of "The Story of Stones" made many literati jealous, and the later Mulan Ci made those who were jealous only look up to ...... I have to say, even I admire it very much. ”
Shen Wuyan arched his hand and said with a light smile: "Dancing and writing are some small tricks between literati, and when my uncle said so, he was speechless." ”
"No...... You deserve to be speechless, didn't the number one genius in the capital vomit blood and die in shock by a wordless Mulan? …… Of course, the Li family has a slightly different voice now......"
Speaking of this, Li Xingchang glanced out of the door intentionally or unintentionally, and it seemed that the next words were very critical and could not be heard by the third person.
"The reason why I broke off the connection with the Hu family can probably guess some without words. …… And what I want to tell you is that the imperial court is the imperial court, the Li family is the Li family, and the Li family is unwilling to participate in the affairs of the temple. ”
Shen Wuyan was stunned, and immediately admired this future father-in-law, although he was just a businessman, but he had a keen insight, he knew very well that the court seemed to be calm now, but in fact, the undercurrent was surging, if he was not careful, he would be swallowed by the torrent.
The Hu family saw this, it was because the Hu family was originally a branch of the torrent, and Deyuelou also saw it, that was because Deyuelou was closest to this torrent, as for Shen Wuyan, because he could see farther.
Li Xingchang is just an ordinary businessman in the market, although he has won the imperial merchant now, he is still far away from the imperial court, but he has also seen all this.
It was rumored that the Li family had some contact with Lord Li Chunfang, the great yuan of the DPRK, but it was later confirmed that there was no relationship.
Shen Wuyan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Although it is not safe in the court now, it can be regarded as a stable livelihood for the imperial merchants, and there is no need to rely on anyone. ”
"Speechless is a bit of a layman, but it's not an exaggeration if you don't understand these things before you enter the court. …… In fact, if you want to completely have no contact with the people in the court, you can't do it for the Li family today. ”
With a wry smile, Li Xingchang continued: "Those people in the family always want to stabilize the imperial merchants, so that raw silk must come from the Hu family, so they must have contact with the Hu family, and marrying Wan'er to the two families is nothing more than the best result." ”
In the final analysis, it is still this problem, those clansmen in the Li family are bent on making the imperial merchants bigger, and even later a family monopolizes all the imperial merchants in the embroidery industry, so they must expand their business.
Raw silk is the raw material, and the Hu family's raw silk production is the best candidate.
On the other hand, there is still a big gap between the Li family's business and the Hu family, if Li Wan'er offends the Hu family because of this matter, it will inevitably be retaliated against by the Hu family later.
Of course, it is reasonable to think like this, but Li Xingchang thinks more. From the pros and cons of the imperial merchants, to whether the political struggle will affect the Li family, it is undoubtedly more detailed.
However, this point cannot be pulled to the table, and there are some changes in the court at any time, but it is still relatively calm. Second, even if the Hu family is really implicated later, the Li family may not suffer.
In short, this matter is a bit of a catch, for him to see Shen Wuyan's use is nothing more than a refuge, if Li Wan'er does not marry Shen Wuyan, then she will definitely be forced by the clan to marry into the Hu family, not the ending he wants to see.
Of course, there is another level, Li Wan'er is not willing to marry into the Hu family.
"I talked to the old man once yesterday, and he meant that if you really want to marry without a word, you must come to the Li family as a son-in-law. But when I think of being speechless and proficient in the way of sages, how can I be a son-in-law. …… He is also worried about the future of the Li family's wealth. ”
In fact, whether to be a son-in-law or not, there is nothing for Shen Wuyan. It's just that the son-in-law is not good-looking, but the actual impact doesn't matter.
Although the Li family is now prosperous, they don't care much in Shen Wuyan's eyes. And the seventh uncle's concern is not reasonable, Li Xingchang has no children under his knees, only one daughter.
In the future, it can only be Li Wan'er who will control the lifeblood of the Li family, but Li Wan'er is a woman, even if she really has business talents, it is impossible to run this huge business, and it will inevitably fall into the hands of outsiders in the end.
After chatting briefly for a while, Shen Wuyan met Li Wan'er under the guidance of Li Xingchang.
The girl was leaning on the building and looking into the distance, but she seemed to be absent-minded, thinking about something, and she didn't notice Shen Wuyan, who had been sitting on the side for a long time.
"Toilet water is really used as perfume, and the smell is all over the house......"
Xu thought that there was an illusion, the girl turned back suddenly, turned her head back, and sighed lightly: "There was a hallucination, Cai'er has been gone for so long and has not returned......"
"Hallucinations are false, but people are real." Shen Wuyan walked over and patted Li Wan'er on the shoulder, smiling slightly.
When she turned around again and saw Shen Wuyan full of smiles, Li Wan'er was stunned, and soon she withdrew the other party and sighed: "What's the point of being true or false, if I marry into the Hu family, nothing can be true." ”
"That's a big truth." Shen Wuyan suddenly became serious, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I won't let you marry into the Hu family, and ...... In short, many things are not clear. ”
"Where's Yue'er?" Li Wan'er seemed to have guessed Shen Wuyan's mind.
Shen Wuyan nodded and said, "Originally, I planned to live with Yue'er for the rest of my life, but because of the age gap with her, I found out that it was not suitable later...... Later, she may also be asked to marry, and she may be reluctant. ”
After a pause, Shen Wuyan sighed slightly: "Many times love is different from liking, if you love flowers, you will water the flowers, and if you just like flowers, you will fold flowers." ”
