The head of the family has lost his sense of proportion, and Steward Chen, who is a subordinate, is certainly not much better.

Seeing Chen Siliu's appearance as if he was mourning, Steward Chen stood in the front hall in a panic, and after a while, seeing that Chen Siliu was still in a daze, without any instructions to him, Steward Chen quietly took a few steps back, walked out of the front hall, turned around and slowly paced towards the door, the people saw him, and took the initiative to salute him, with a respectful and fearful attitude, but Steward Chen did not react, and sighed lightly with a straight face.

The Chen family is about to be destroyed, and the head of the family is even facing prison. How long can I, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion, be beautiful?

The news that the Chen family offended the new county magistrate has spread in the Chen Mansion, and the subordinates are doing their own work, but their faces are full of panic and fear, seeing him rise a tall building, seeing that his building has collapsed, and the success or failure of the merchant family is often only between the words of the official.

In the front hall, Chen Siliu looked at the flickering candlelight, sighed as if he was whimpering, covered his fat face with both hands, and his body kept trembling.

At some point, a pair of slender hands pressed Chen Siliu's trembling shoulders and slowly kneaded them on his shoulders, as if calming his emotions.

"Dad, is it really irretrievable?" The voice was thin and soft, but mixed with strong uneasiness.

Chen Siliu closed his eyes and sighed: "Ying'er, the Chen family is in great trouble...... Ning'er's disaster this time is not small. ”

Chen Ying'er bit her lower lip and said angrily: "The second brother is too ignorant!" My daughter has warned him a long time ago, we are merchants, even if we have a lot of money, we can't fly outside, there are too many big people in this world that we can't afford to offend, but he just doesn't listen......"

Chen Siliu's pale face also floated a little annoyed: "I, Chen Siliu, don't know what kind of evil I have created in my last life, but I gave birth to such a son!" I...... I wish I could beat him to death! ”

Chen Ying'er hurriedly kneaded Chen Siliu's shoulders and said softly: "Dad, don't be angry, the Chen family still has to rely on you to get through this difficulty...... What about the second brother? ”

"Humph! I beat him up and put him in the ancestral hall and knelt down......"

Chen Ying'er looked unbearable: "Dad, the weather is quite cold, the wind is cold and dewy at night, how can the second brother be born if he catches a cold?" The Chen family is such a lone seedling......"

Chen Siliu was stunned for a while, and then sighed: "Ying'er, you are still the most sensible, you go to the inner courtyard to clean up, and then call your mother and your brother, and go out of the city overnight...... Five years ago, I bought a few acres of thin fields in Zhenjiang Mansion, and the government should not find out, and ...... in the future In the future, this family will depend on you to sustain it......"

Chen Ying'er was stunned, and then exclaimed: "Dad, you ...... What does that mean? ”

Chen Siliu laughed in despair: "There is no way to ask for help, it seems that Cao Xiancheng will not let go of our Chen family, you should run for your life, I am not confused, so I will give up this remnant body to let Cao Xiancheng vent a sigh of resentment." ”

"Dad, never! Didn't Cao Xiancheng say that if you don't arrest us, as long as our family goes bankrupt? As long as our family is safe and sound, even if we give him the family property......"

Chen Siliu sneered: "Do you think he really doesn't arrest people if he says he won't arrest people?" I have seen a lot of this method of being an official, first find a reason, put people in prison, and then torture to extract confessions, fabricate a few crimes, and finally confiscate the family property with confidence, so that no one can catch him, he explained that to check the account books of our Chen family, it is the first step......"

Chen Ying'er's face turned pale, and she cried: "Isn't there any other way?" Dad, you usually give Huang Zhixian, thank the master book, Li Dianshi, they have a lot of silver, now the Chen family is in trouble, Dad, you go to ask Huang Zhixian again......"

Chen Siliu sighed: "It's difficult, it's too difficult!" This afternoon, Master Xie sent someone to pass me a few words, this newcomer to Cao County is really not small, even Huang Zhixian has to let him ...... three points."

"What is the origin of Cao County?"

He ...... He was originally a military attache of the guard, a hundred households under the command of King Yan of Beiping, the remnant of the Yan King's northern expedition, this Cao Baihu took the lead, made great contributions, retired due to injury, King Yan showed his merits, and also cherished his talents, and specially recommended him to the Beijing Division, making up for the lack of Jiangpu County Cheng, the civil official, this Cao County Cheng is standing behind, but His Royal Highness the King of Yan! How can Huang Zhixian afford to mess with him? ”

Chen Siliu let out a long sigh, his expression as gray as a dead man.

Chen Ying'er was also stunned, the backer behind Cao Xiancheng was His Royal Highness King Yan, such a powerful backer, for the Chen family, a small merchant, it was simply a big person, the Chen family offended Cao Xiancheng, and the end was ......

"It seems that my Chen family is really desperate...... Chen Ying'er cried sadly, and the crystal tears wet her clothes.

"Now the Chen family has only two ways to go, one is that you escaped from Jiangpu overnight, and from then on you will be incognito, or you may be able to keep your peace for the rest of your life, and I will stay here and let Cao Xiancheng breathe this ......"

"Daddy! This is a road that must not be taken! The second brother is still young, and his daughter and mother are women, you are the backbone of our family! Without you, this Chen family is afraid that it will be ruined from now on......"

Chen Siliu sighed, looked at Chen Ying'er in a complicated manner, and said for a while: "...... The second way, Huang Zhixian's only son Huang Weishan is quite affectionate to you, last summer, Huang Zhixian asked me for marriage on behalf of his son, I have a marriage contract with Xiao Fan because you have already had a marriage contract, if you regret the family, I am afraid that my Chen family's reputation will be hindered, and then Huang Weishan has also become married, you can only give him a concubine, so I declined Huang Zhixian, although afterwards I gave Huang Zhixian a thousand taels of silver, thinking that it was an apology, but because of this matter, Huang Zhixian must have a suspicion in his heart, and now the Chen family is in trouble, if it is ......"

Chen Siliu stopped when he said this, and glanced at Chen Ying'er again and again, and the unfinished meaning of his words was self-evident.

Chen Ying'er's face was full of pain when she heard this, she was silent for a long time, her long-closed beautiful eyes opened, and she clenched her teeth and said resolutely: "Dad, my daughter is willing to do anything for the Chen family, as long as she can keep the Chen family safe, even if it is ...... gave Huang Weishan as a concubine, and his daughter was also ...... Willing! ”

If he marries Huang Weishan as a concubine, Huang Zhixian will inevitably keep the Chen family safe, after all, they have become a family, and Cao County is no matter how strong it is, after all, it is also a newcomer, and there is no foundation.

Of course Chen Siliu understands this truth, and Chen Yinger also understands it.

As for Xiao Fan, the uncle of the Chen family, the father and daughter forgot about him.

In the officialdom of shopping malls, compromise and balance and exchange of interests are commonplace, who cares about the feelings of a poor peasant child? Repenting of his relatives and remarrying the son of the county magistrate, although spreading it will greatly damage the reputation of the Chen family, but now that the Chen family is at a critical juncture of life and death, the matter of reputation and disreputation is no longer taken care of, so let's save the surname of the Chen family.

Chen Ying'er is already in tears, girlish feelings are always poetry, she has fantasized countless times, there is a personable, elegant and handsome young man for her to put on a wedding dress, spoil her and pity her for a lifetime. But the reality is always cruel, whether it is Xiao Fan or Huang Weishan, it is not the choice of the lover she expects in her heart, but she has to succumb to reality, a woman in this era, fate can not be chosen at all, and it is her fate to exchange her body for the safety of the old and young in the family.

"Ying'er, Ying'er...... For my father, I'm sorry for you......" Chen Siliu is also full of tears.

"Daddy...... Don't blame yourself, your daughter is going to marry someone anyway, since you can't help yourself, what's the difference between marrying a pig and marrying a dog......"

Under the dim and flickering candlelight, the father and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and a mournful atmosphere was enveloped in the front hall.

Outside the front hall, where the cry echoed, a low sigh suddenly came from the faint side.

"You father and daughter are so affectionate, and you cry so much, I really shouldn't have interrupted you...... However, I can't help but want to tell the difference...... I actually have a lot of advantages, at least marrying me is still very different from marrying a pig and a dog......"

The father and daughter of the Chen family immediately stopped crying and looked out of the front hall in amazement.

Under the light of the air dead wind lamp under the corridor, a thin figure dragged long, and the figure slowly walked towards them, and after walking a few steps, a face with a faint smile clearly appeared in their eyes.

Xiao Fan, the nest aunt under the fence!

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Siliu frowned and said in a deep voice.

The Chen family is in trouble, isn't this waste who eats white food planning to fall into the well and mock them?

Xiao Fan didn't even look at Chen Ying'er, only smiled faintly at Chen Siliu, his smile fell in the eyes of the Chen family's father and daughter, which was naturally extremely hateful and annoying.

"Father-in-law......

As soon as Xiao Fan spoke, the eyelids of the Chen family's father and daughter jumped at the same time.

They resisted the title.

“…… Although this matter is a bit difficult to do, it seems that there is no need for the father-in-law to take out the fiancée of the son-in-law in exchange for peace, right? Where did the father-in-law put his son-in-law? Although Xiao Fan had a smile on his face, his tone was a little cold.

Chen Siliu's face couldn't help but turn pale, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Virtuous nephew...... The Chen family is now in great trouble, and the covenant I made with your father back then, I'm afraid it will ...... Virtuous nephew, if you don't object, I am willing to pay you two hundred taels of silver, and your marriage with Ying'er should be ......."

"Father-in-law, since the Chen family and Cao Xiancheng have become a dead end, why don't you let me try, maybe ...... The son-in-law has a way to let the Chen family survive this catastrophe safely, resolve the grudge with Cao Xiancheng, and ...... You don't have to pay for your son-in-law's fiancée. ”

"What?"
