The fourth uncle said eloquently: "Yu Ruoxian's niece, Master Tao Yutao is a weaver in Suzhou, in charge of weaving and spinning in Jiangsu Province. My Xiao family has been running a cloth village for many years, and Suzhou weaving is closely related. The Xiao family's business is still counting on Lord Tao to take care of them, how can they contradict them? Now for this matter, I offended Mr. Tao not to say, but also offended Mr. Tao, as long as the weaving master said a word, our cloth village even survival is a problem, which is a big disadvantage to the Xiao family. ”

Survive? If it weren't for Lin San, we would have been annexed by the Tao family a long time ago, where would we talk about survival? Xiao Yuruo snorted, bit her lip and asked, "Then according to the fourth uncle's opinion, what should be done with it?" ”

The fourth uncle said: "Virtuous niece, fourth uncle, I have lived more than you for all these years, and I have seen more things." In my humble opinion, it is better to return this pottery cloth village to the Tao family, in order to show the sincerity of my Xiao family, and to look forward to the reconciliation between the two sides. ”

Sure enough, it's shallow, it's really shallow, according to this old man's meaning, I'm afraid that I wish Miss Xiao and the Tao family would marry, in order to show "repair". Lin Wanrong despised this bullshit fourth uncle of the Xiao family, a typical appeasement policy, and said it in a high-sounding manner.

The eldest lady held back her anger and said, "Fourth uncle, since the Tao family has run the cloth village, we have not had a business conflict with them once or twice. The fourth uncle said that he wanted to reconcile with the Tao family, but the niece wanted to ask rhetorically, with what the Xiao family did, when did he ever reconcile with us? Last time, I was forced to join forces with the Xiao family, and this trip to Hangzhou relied on the leading identity of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce to collude with the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce to make things difficult for my Xiao family. If it weren't for Lin San's help, I'm afraid I would have been—"

The eldest lady gritted her silver teeth and stopped talking, Lin Wanrong knew the meaning of her words, these Xiao family relatives. Sitting and talking doesn't hurt your back, you just wait to get the silver, where do you understand the hardships of a weak woman who is fighting outside. If it weren't for Lao Tzu's two brushes this time, the Xiao family would have been defeated by Tao Dongcheng.

Before the fourth uncle could talk more, Lin Wanrong suddenly stood up and smiled: "But I don't know the surname of this steward?" ”

The fourth uncle said proudly: "My Xiao family tree ranks fourth, you have to call the fourth master." ”

"It turned out that the surname was Xiao. After listening to this old man talk for a long time, I thought your surname was Tao. Lin Wanrong said.

The fourth master Xiao's face changed, and he said angrily: "Bold, how can there be any place for you to be presumptuous here." ”

When the eldest lady saw Lin San's early appearance, she looked at him gratefully. said bluntly to the fourth uncle: "The fourth uncle's words are wrong, and it is my mother's decision to allow Lin San to enter the council hall for deliberations." You have already agreed that he is now equivalent to you, so why not speak here? ”

The steward rolled his eyes, unable to find the words to refute, he knew Lin Wanrong. He glanced at him angrily and did not speak.

Who hasn't Lin Wanrong been afraid of? He smiled coldly and said, "This old man Xiao just kept saying that he wanted to reconcile with the Tao family and think about the Tao family. I thought that the dead master was a member of the Tao family, but I didn't expect it to be from our Xiao family. A Xiao family, eating the Xiao family and drinking the Xiao family, doesn't want to think about how to do their best for the Xiao family, but thinks about defending others all day long, and would rather harm the interests of the Xiao family than please others, which is really surprising. ”

Fourth Master Xiao said angrily: "I am thinking about the foundation of the Xiao family. I don't want to see the inheritance of our ancestors destroyed in your hands. ”

Your mother's, a distant relative of the Xiao family, was still found on the genealogy, and you can't beat it with eight poles, so it's embarrassing to say that for the sake of the ancestral foundation of the Xiao family, it's true that you are afraid of coveting the property of the Xiao family. Lin Wanrong's eyes are vicious, this Xiao Death Old Man has jumped out to speak for the Tao family several times, and last time he almost hit Yushuang and himself. This time everyone else was quiet, but he jumped out again, could it really be that he was upright? Bullshit, looking at those triangular eyes, you know that it's not a good thing, either you have received the benefits of the Tao family, or you want to take the property of the Xiao family, and you can't run.

"For the sake of the Xiao family's foundation? Dead lord, Mrs. is the old lady's daughter-in-law, the eldest lady and the second lady are the granddaughters of the old lady's own granddaughter, you think about the Xiao family, are they deliberately embarrassing the Xiao family? Return the shop as a sign of repair? These two sentences are extremely easy to say, but they humiliate Old Lady Xiao. The Tao family's wolf ambitions, everywhere for the Xiao family, the previous time there was a forced joint venture, this trip to Hangzhou is even worse, how the Tao family unites Zhejiang businessmen, how to bully the Xiao family, the entire Jinling Chamber of Commerce is seen with their own eyes, everyone is unhappy for the Xiao family. Haven't you heard of the dead lord? Everyone knows that the Tao family wants to exterminate the Xiao family, but some people have repeatedly spoken for the Tao family, their behavior is strange, and their hearts are unpredictable, don't they want to get some benefits from the middle? Lin Wanrong looked at the fourth master and said loudly.

In the past few days, the business community in Jinling has been rumored about the Hangzhou Qingyulou, and the Xiao family has been able to resist the joint oppression of the leading chambers of commerce in Jinling and Hangzhou with their own strength, which has long been known. Although the merchants did not say anything, they still deeply admired the Xiao family's struggle in their hearts, and they also had a welcoming attitude towards the Xiao family's return to the leadership of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. All of you here are business people, so naturally you have heard a lot about these things. What Lin San said was reasonable, but it was that Xiao Si who repeatedly spoke for the Tao family, which made people suspicious.

"You are talking nonsense, where did I receive benefits?" The fourth master, a distant relative, jumped up suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Yuruo is an orphan and a widow, it is inevitable to be used by others, you are a little family, you can enter the house, it's not that you confuse them, what is it?" ”

"Bold." Before the eldest lady could speak, Mrs. Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, slapped the table and stood up.

Mrs. Xiao's face was frosty, the light in her eyes swept away, everyone in the hall was silent, the four old men glanced at it secretly, and then lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

Mrs. said coldly: "My Xiao family is an orphan and a widow, and I am dedicated to running and never causing trouble, but if someone thinks that we are afraid of him, it is wrong." Although I am a woman, I have also been to the court in the past, have met six departments, and worshiped the emperor, who have ever been afraid of coming? My Xiao family is full of women, and not everyone can arrange it. In today's meeting hall, in front of the ancestors of the Xiao family, if someone dares to bully my Xiao family, I will definitely not be able to spare it. ”

As soon as Madame spoke, the widows and widows of the Xiao family no longer dared to squeak. Although the eldest lady is also a little imposing, after all, she is still young and her prestige is not as good as her mother. Mrs. Xiao's face sank like water, and her eyes wandered around everyone, and no one dared to look at her, which showed the prosperity of her prestige.

Lin Wanrong said in her heart, this Mrs. Xiao is really a bit majestic. Listening to her words, she also went to the court in Beijing back then, I don't know if it's true or not. Judging from her age, when she was in Beijing, she would not be more than twenty years old, so how could she have visited the court? This Miss Guo is really not simple.

Lin Wanrong couldn't help but laugh when she saw that everyone didn't dare to speak, and they all said that this was a male-inferior society, but this group of big men didn't dare to raise their heads when they were bluffed by the eldest lady's mother and daughter, and it was really boring.

Dozens of people, only Lin Wanrong looked comfortable, he has seen many characters, from the first rank of the imperial court to the local senior heads, he really hasn't been afraid of anyone.

Mrs. Xiao was looking at others, but Lin Wanrong was looking at her. Although this Mrs. Xiao is thirty-seven or eighteen years old, her skin is crystal clear, her cheeks are dizzy, her figure is slender, and her charm is moving. At this time, under the anger, the willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the crisp chest trembled, and it was even more graceful and luxurious, gorgeous and matchless, and the temperament was very elegant.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were cold, she looked around, and when she looked at Lin Wanrong, she was much gentler, with a smile on her face, and nodded slightly to show her approval.

Mrs. Xiao snorted and said: "In the hall today, in front of the ancestors and ancestors of the Xiao family, someone dares to speak nonsense, insulting my mother and daughter, insulting my Xiao family, I can't spare him." ”

As soon as Mrs. Xiao said this, everyone's eyes fell on the distant fourth uncle, the second lady trespassed into the council hall that day, and Mrs. Xiao even had to beat her own daughter, not to mention a distant uncle and brother.

"Xiao Siwei, your father and the old lady are of the same clan and clan, so I invited you to join the affairs of the Xiao family according to the genealogy and hired you as the manager, because I hope that you will do your best for the Xiao family in the face of the same clan and clan. But you don't want to forge ahead, you do nonsense on weekdays, and secretly accept other people's money, fill it with fine silk with secondary cloth, and ruin the reputation of my Xiao family. But what you have done is really disappointing, and today it is even more insulting to my mother and daughter, insulting my ancestors of the Xiao family, I will not punish you, heaven is intolerable. What do you have to say today when I depose you from your position as steward and punish you with a hundred boards? Madame looked at the fourth uncle and said sternly.

The fourth uncle of the Xiao family turned pale and said loudly: "You dare? I am a member of the Xiao family, and no one can do this to me. If you don't listen to me, you will suffer a loss, and Lord Tao will arrive in Jinling today, and cooperating with him is the right way, otherwise, there is only a dead end-"

"Pull it down, take a hundred boards, and expel it from the house." Mrs. Xiao said angrily.

A few big-shouldered and round-waisted family members rushed in and pulled the fourth uncle out, and after a while, a shocking scream came.

It turns out that he is really a traitor, Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly, this guy has already done a lot of evil deeds, and it is a shame that Mrs. Xiao can tolerate him, if he replaced me, he would have let him get out of here.

Mrs. Xiao's face was pale, and she said to the people in the hall: "My Xiao family has been forced to come here, where is there a way out?" The stewards just thought of a way to assist Yuruo in receiving the Tao family cloth village, and didn't care about other things. ”

She glanced at Lin Wanrong, a smile of relief appeared on her face, her red lips opened lightly, and she whispered, "Lin San, you come with me." ”

After the two of them entered the side room, Mrs. Xiao looked at him and smiled, "Lin San, what do you think of Yushuang?" ”
