Guangzhou City, Ye Family Compound.

"Zhihong, the old man took the liberty to come today, and if there is anything abrupt, he will look at Haihan." Pan Lianghua arched his hand towards Ye Zhihong, although he said it politely, his expression was very arrogant, and he didn't mean to be presumptuous.

Pan Lianghua is the current head of the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou, and he is also the money bag of the Manchu Emperor's inner treasury. If he stomps his feet, the entire foreign trade market in Guangzhou will tremble, so he has capital arrogance. Now that he can say this, he can be regarded as putting his posture very low.

Ye Zhihong waved his hand and said, "Brother Pan, the two of us have been friends for decades, you and I will see each other when you talk about this, right?" But Brother Pan was in such a hurry to come over, could it be that something went wrong on the side of the Thirteen Lines? ”

In Ye Zhihong's impression, Pan Lianghua is a scheming and very calm person, even after the death of the old man of the Pan family, the Pan family was jointly suppressed by the other three of the Thirteen Lines, Pan Lianghua did not show the slightest anxiety. Unexpectedly, he rushed to the Ye Mansion in a hurry today, and he didn't know that he thought something big had happened to the Thirteenth Lines.

Pan Lianghua looked a little unnatural at Ye Zhihong, and said: "Zhihong, nothing happened in the industry, I came to you today to have a happy event." Last time, Mrs. Ye and my family said that Shihan is over twenty-eight years old, and Shijie has reached the age when he should start a family. Shihan, this girl is I have grown up, she is calm and versatile, if she becomes the daughter-in-law of the old man, I will rest assured that Shijie is that stinky boy. ”

Hearing Pan Lianghua say this, Mrs. Ye's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth were full of joy that could not be concealed. Although the gentle and fierce Miss Chen family is no longer there, the jealousy of this woman in Mrs. Ye's heart cannot be dissipated.

And this Ye Shihan is very much like her mother, every time she sees her eyes full of brilliance, Mrs. Ye always thinks of the grievances and grievances of the past, and now she can marry Ye Shihan, just out of sight and out of mind.

"Master, our Ye Pan family is a world friend, and Shihan, a girl, married in the past, and she definitely can't stand the grievances." Although I don't know why Pan Lianghua suddenly mentioned the marriage, Mrs. Ye still expressed her attitude. Pan Lianghua threw a grateful look at Mrs. Ye.

Ye Zhihong was a little confused, and said puzzledly: "A few days ago, Mrs. Pan also came to my Ye Mansion and exchanged the birthdays of Shihan and Shijie, and this matter can be regarded as settled, and it will be feasible to marry in the first month of next year." Why did Brother Pan come over early to talk about this, and I didn't say that I wouldn't agree to this family business. ”

Pan Liang was a little ashamed when he heard this, and took Ye Zhihong's hand and said, "Brother Zhihong, it's all the elder brother who can't stand your Ye family." The evil obstacle in my family, yesterday and the third son of Guo Shixun, the newly appointed governor of Liangguang, had a conflict on the street, and he also accidentally discounted the third son of the governor's family by an arm. Originally, Lord Guo was dissatisfied with my Pan family's position as the head of the line for decades, but now isn't it just a reason to give him? I thought about getting the marriage of Shijie and Shihan in advance, so that not only could I make the son of my family take care of it, but also make Lord Guo jealous and act with concerns. ”

Ye Zhihong suddenly understood Pan Lianghua's intention, the Pan family is now causing such a disaster, and he must want to marry the Ye family in the four major families of the Thirteen Elements, and tie the Ye family, whose power is not weaker than the Pan family, to their family's chariot!

The reason why the Pan family and the Ye family can firmly occupy the top two of the four families of the Thirteen Elements is because they have an intricate relationship in the capital behind them, especially Agui, the first general of the Qing Dynasty who was trusted by Qianlong, and took a lot of benefits in it.

There are people in the court who are good officials, and so are businessmen. After the death of Pan Zhencheng, the old man of the Pan family who had great influence in the Thirteen Lines in Guangzhou, Pan Lianghua was able to successfully take over his father's class and become the new head of the Thirteen Lines, which is not unrelated to the powerful people behind the Pan family.

However, the interests of the Thirteen Elements are too huge, and such a huge fortune has long been in the hands of the same group of people, which has long made the other magnates in the capital dissatisfied. After Fukangan was transferred to the governor of Liangguang, he intentionally or unintentionally suppressed the Pan family and the Ye family, trying to let someone from the Lu family take over the post of head of the bank. Although Fukangan has now been transferred to Beijing, Guo Shixun is an official of the Fukangan faction, how could he give up this great opportunity?

Ye Zhihong is also an old fox immersed in the shopping mall, and instead of agreeing to Pan Lianghua's request, he asked about Pan Shijie: "Huh? Shijie beat up Lord Guo's third son, what's going on? ”

Although Pan Lianghua was a little dissatisfied with Ye Zhihong's left words, he still said patiently: "It's really ashamed to say it, it's Pan Mou's godson who has no way." This little evil animal went to Baihualou for recreation a few days ago, because a Qingqi and the third son of Lord Guo had a conflict, and the house slaves on both sides fought in Baihualou, but I didn't expect that the evil obstacle in my family missed for a while, and the right arm of the three boys of the Guo family was discounted. ”

After speaking, Pan Lianghua's old face was also red, and it would be difficult for anyone to talk about any child's ugly thing except for this kind of jealousy.

After Mrs. Ye listened to Pan Lianghua's words, she didn't mean to be surprised at all, with the virtue of the second son of the Pan family, it would be strange not to do such a thing. It is in response to that sentence that Lao Tzu's hero is a bear, this Pan Lianghua is shrewd, but he gave birth to a young son who is out of tune. But because the interests of the two families are inevitable, the marriage is still there, and Ye Shihan is still there, otherwise she can only marry her own daughter to Pan Shijie, who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun.

Ye Zhihong understands that their Ye family is now in the same boat as the Pan family, but he doesn't want to agree to Pan Lianghua's request early, because the person who is in a hurry is not him, but the Pan family. Through this episode, he can just get some benefits from the Pan family.

"During such a critical period, Shijie is still lingering in the land of fireworks and willow lanes, how can I rest assured that Shihan will be in his hands?" Although Ye Zhihong was in a good tone, there was no sense of reproach in his words.

Pan Lianghua secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, but he had to lower his posture again: "Brother Zhihong, the son is not the fault of the father." I will definitely discipline this son strictly in the future, and I will definitely not let Shihan be wronged. In addition to this matter, I also asked Brother Zhihong to do him a favor. Every year, there are 46 merchant ships from England to Guangzhou, and in the past, my Pan family could buy 18 of them, but this year, our Pan Jiayin turnover is not good, and the remaining three ships will be handed over to your Ye family's Dafeng Commercial Bank to do it. ”

Ye Zhihong was shocked, this Pan Lianghua is so bold! The value of the three Western seafood ships is not a small amount, but I didn't expect Pan Lianghua to marry the Ye family quickly, and let it out without blinking an eye.

"Since Brother Pan said so, then Zhihong is disrespectful. In this way, the middle of this month is an auspicious day, just to do the happy event of the little girl and Shijie. Brother Pan won't be in a hurry, right? After getting the benefits, Ye Zhihong no longer cared about him, and agreed directly.

Pan Lianghua was relieved, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't be in a hurry at all!" I will organize a dowry ceremony, and I will definitely let Shijie, this kid, marry Shihan back in a beautiful way. Then, Brother Zhihong, I will leave for my brother. ”

Now that the goal has been achieved, Pan Lianghua didn't stay long, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and he had to go back to arrange it so that Guo Shixun would not be behind his back.

After Pan Lianghua left, Ye Zhihong took away the smile on his face and instructed the little maid: "Go and invite the fifth lady over." ”

After a while, Ye Shihan skillfully moved to the flower hall and saluted Ye Zhihong and the eldest lady who were sitting at the top: "Daddy, call me over today, I don't know what's the matter?" ”

Ye Zhihong looked at Ye Shihan's pretty face like a peach blossom, and couldn't help but think of the figure as weak as a willow in his mind, and a trace of melancholy arose in his heart. Because Ye Shihan's eyes were very similar to his mother, every time he saw his fifth daughter, he always turned around and left in embarrassment.

He has rarely seen Ye Shihan over the years, but he didn't expect time to fly, this daughter who contains his complex emotions has now grown up and is at the age of getting married.

Ye Zhihong tried his best to suppress the complicated emotions in his heart, and tried his best to make his tone kinder: "Shihan, now that you are sixteen years old, it is time to find you a husband." Just now, I made a decision with your Uncle Pan to promise you to Shijie, and the wedding ceremony will be in the middle of this month.

With a smirk on the corner of her mouth, Mrs. Ye said to Ye Shihan: "Although Shijie is a little wild, he is the second son of the Pan family after all, and this family business can be regarded as a good match." You must abide by your duty when you get married, and don't do anything that damages our Ye family's style! Mrs. Ye's words are full of sarcasm and sarcasm.

Ye Shihan was also stunned when she heard the news, as early as a few days ago, she knew that her eldest mother intended to give him to Pan Shijie's gentleman. But she always believed that his brother Ye Wensheng would always come up with a way, as long as he was given a certain amount of time, there would definitely be a way. Because since I was a child, there was nothing that my brother couldn't solve.

In Ye Shihan's mind, her brother is omnipotent. It's just that what she didn't expect was that this family business would be so urgent, and now there are less than eight days until the middle of the whole month! No matter how much Ye Wensheng has a way, it will be too late.

"Daddy, if I marry Pan Shijie, the son of a gentleman who is ruined by the gold and jade, I will not marry even if I die!" Ye Shihan shuddered when she thought of the frivolous and lustful second son of the Pan family.

Ye Zhihong was loudly refuted by his daughter, and his blood suddenly surged, and he lined up on the table with one palm: "Ridiculous!" The words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders, how can you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry! I have promised you Uncle Pan, and I have also exchanged the birthdays of you and Shijie, and there is absolutely no possibility of regretting marriage! ”

Ye Shihan smiled miserably and stared at Ye Zhihong stubbornly: "Daddy, don't you know what kind of person Pan Shijie is?" Knowing that it is a fire pit, but you want to push your daughter down with your own hands, I want to ask Daddy, do you still have a conscience? When my mother was dying, she asked you to take good care of me and my brother, have you forgotten it? ”

Ye Zhihong looked at the stubborn eyes, just like the strong woman back then, and the piece of land in his heart softened: "Shihan, I haven't forgotten my promise." I handed over all the business of Dafeng Commercial Bank to your brother, after your eldest brother was admitted to the Jinshi, the business in this house is not all his? This Pan family is the largest family in Guangdong, what's wrong with you marrying in. Besides, if Pan Shijie's virtue is at a loss, your Uncle Pan will feel guilty about you, and he will definitely compensate you more, isn't Daddy taking care of you, what do you want? ”

Ye Shihan glanced at his father coldly, and said disdainfully: "Daddy, you let your brother accept the family's business, just so that the eldest brother can get rid of these mundane affairs and focus on his career." Back then, my brother liked to read so much, and he was admitted to Xiucai at a young age, but now he is a businessman under your arrangement. And now, knowing that Pan Shijie is not a good person, he still wants to sacrifice his daughter in exchange for the interests of the family. And if it weren't for you, would my mother have committed suicide and died! What kind of care is this, sometimes I really want to live without you as a father! ”

In Ye Shihan's questioning, Ye Zhihong's face finally became more and more pale, until his face was bloodless: "It turns out that I ...... I was ...... when I was in your mind This looks...... Haha, it's all retribution......" Ye Zhihong intuitively felt that his blood was surging, and his eyes were black for a while, and he fainted on the ground when he couldn't hold it anymore.

Mrs. Ye hurriedly supported Ye Zhihong, who had fainted, and shouted sharply: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Don't scare me, sir, get up, sir. ”

Then Mrs. Ye turned her head with a look of disgust and looked at Ye Shihan coldly: "You slaves and maids who are not long-eyed, if you don't come over to take the fifth lady back and take care of them strictly, you must not leave the boudoir one step until the day you get married!" ”

Ye Shihan looked at her father who fainted on the ground in a daze, looking sluggish, until a few old mothers like wolves escorted her back to the boudoir, and still did not come back to her senses.

A few days later, Ye Zhihong's body also recovered, and he sighed leisurely when he remembered his stubborn daughter. He knew that he was sorry for that woman before, and now he didn't want to be like this with the blood of the two of them.

Thinking like this, Ye Zhihong instructed: "You go and invite the young lady over, she has been suffering these days." Deep down, he still hopes to mend this fragile father-daughter relationship.

The old man took the order and left, and after a while, he ran back in a panic: "Master, it's not good! Miss Five and her personal maid Xiaolian ran away! ”

Ye Zhihong sat up from the chair in shock, and said in a lost voice: "What? Miss Five ran away? ”
