Chatting and chatting, Zeng Xinlang said casually, "Uncle, in the past two days in Suizhou, I vaguely heard someone say that my cousin is going to get married, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

When Tang Fuchang heard this, he suddenly frowned, and slammed the cup on the table, and the tea flowed out along the cup and spilled all over the table.

"Uncle, dissipate your anger and hurt your body carefully." Zeng Xinlang saw this posture and knew that the rumors were wrong.

"This Zheng family is simply too deceitful, my Tang Fuchang hasn't replied yet, so he passed the news out first, is this trying to preemptively?"

Tang Fuchang slowed down and said to Zeng Xinlang, "A few days ago, a family came to propose marriage to Chu'er, and also proposed to marry each other, I was also moved for a while, but Chu'er was stubborn, saying that he didn't want to marry now, and he wanted to handle the family's business wholeheartedly." ”

Tang Fuchang was very helpless in his words, but Zeng Xinlang could also understand that his aunt died early, leaving only his cousin with a child, and his uncle was deeply affectionate and unwilling to marry again, so he was more spoiled than managed by his cousin, and now that his cousin has grown up and has his own attention, it is even more difficult to manage.

But the only thing to be thankful for is that my cousin did not grow into an arrogant and domineering appearance, but shrewd and capable, delicate and moving, and attracted the attention of others more and more.

"Uncle, the little nephew thinks that his cousin is still young, and it is not too late to stay at home for two years before getting married, but the husband should really think about it." Zeng Xinlang said slowly.

"Oh? I don't know what kind of opinion the virtuous nephew has? Tang Fuchang knew that Zeng Xinlang had come into contact with many young sons, so he must have some opinions of his own.

"I can't talk about Gao Jian, it's just that with my cousin's net worth, I will inevitably take Tang's industry with me in the future, so it's better to marry flat and marry high, and the candidates, first, my cousin doesn't hate it as the bottom line, and second, people who know the roots are the most suitable."

After Zeng Xinlang finished speaking, Tang Fuchang was also digesting what he said, feeling that there was some truth, but it meant something.

Tang Fuchang looked at Zeng Xinlang suspiciously, and the other party's eyes were clear, and he also looked back.

Tang Fuchang didn't see any dirty thoughts in it, so he also let go of his heart.

When Tang Chu came back, he saw her father and cousin staring at each other, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant.

"Cousin, I wouldn't have gone out to run errands if I knew you were coming today." Tang Chu said coquettishly.

"I haven't been able to visit my uncle, I really don't want to go, while my uncle is at home today, I can be regarded as taking a chance, haha!"

"Okay, your cousin still has to stay in Suizhou City for a while, and you have a chance to get together." Tang Fuchang couldn't see his daughter's delicate appearance in front of other men, as long as he thought of marrying his daughter in the future, he would be sad for no reason.

Tang Fuchang sometimes thinks about his mentality and feels contradictory, on the one hand, he wants his daughter to find a lover to marry, on the other hand, he feels that no one is worthy of his baby daughter, once his daughter is married, he feels that his heart has to be missing.

"Daddy, what were you talking about?" Tang Chu asked.

"Nothing, just talking about some business." Tang Fuchang seemed reluctant to talk more.

Zeng Xinlang also nodded, and continued according to Tang Fuchang's words, "Yes, my uncle and I are discussing business routes. ”

Tang Chu didn't ask more after hearing this, she took Zeng Xinlang to visit the courtyard where he lived when he was a child, the courtyard was full of flowers, flowers and butterflies flying, Zeng Xinlang stood at the door and couldn't help but recall the scene when his aunt hugged him and talked when he was a child.

"Alang, this is my aunt's only daughter, you have to protect her well when you grow up, don't let her be bullied by bad people." The woman said to him with a gentle face.

The white and chubby girl was lying quietly in swaddling clothes, and he gently touched her little face, only to feel smooth and delicate, and he couldn't put it down.

The girl was not afraid of him, but held his little finger tightly with her little hand and smiled at him innocently.

At that moment, the young man's heart was about to melt.

"Cousin, what are you thinking, so engrossed?" Tang Chu saw Zeng Xinlang looking at the furnishings in the courtyard in a daze, and shook his hands in front of his eyes, stopping Zeng Xinlang's reminiscence.

"It's nothing, I just didn't expect it to be so well preserved here!" Zeng Xinlang sighed.

"Cousin, where is this? Let's go in, little sister will show you again! Tang Chu said mysteriously.

Seeing Tang Chu's delicate face, Zeng Xinlang seemed to be stunned, and before his brain gave an order, his body followed Tang Chu towards the courtyard, and Shuangxi and Zeng Wen also followed.

The door was gently pushed open, the expected dust did not fall, and when he walked into the room, the furnishings were still as good as new, as if someone was wiping them every day, Zeng Xinlang walked to the desk, on which was a book of Analects, and the page he opened was the same page he had read before leaving.

That's because he didn't like to read, so he drew a tortoise's graffiti on it, and after so many years, the imprint on it is still there.

"Cousin, is this place cleaned every day?" Zeng Xinlang asked.

"Yes, servants come here every day to clean up, and they haven't stopped all these years." Tang Chu looked at Zeng Xinlang and said word by word.

"Mother once said that there will always be a cousin's courtyard in the Tang Mansion, and the cousin can come and live at any time without restraint."

Zeng Xinlang's eyes suddenly began to redden, he held back the wetness in the corners of his eyes, and said in a choked voice, "My aunt has a heart, my cousin also has a heart, and my cousin is ashamed of himself." ”

Thinking of the fight between his mother and his aunt and concubines in the family over the years, he has long forgotten how carefree he was back then.

In the past few years, his mother has stopped caring about him, only caring about seizing power and seizing power again, he seems to be a tool, born to become a pawn in the struggle for power and profit.

Tang Chu saw that Zeng Xinlang was a little emotional, and hurriedly comforted, "Cousin doesn't have to blame himself, since my cousin took over the family's business, I only know how difficult it is, one person is the master of so many people, not only to bear the gains and losses of interests, but also to take into account the overall situation, and to do his best, presumably my cousin has not been easy all these years." ”

"Those who know me, cousin, too, the Zeng family has a lot of property, my father did not hand over all the trade routes to me, and there are several concubines who also occupy an important position in the Zeng family, and they have been running around for my brother over the years and have saved a lot of fame, so that they can be completely suppressed."

For what Zeng Xinlang said, Tang Chu can understand but can't empathize, Tang Fuchang only has one daughter, she has grown up spoiled since she was a child, after marrying Zou Shiyan, Zou Shiyan has no parents, she and Zou Shichu also get along, although the uncle and aunt of the Zou family often act as demons, but she can also deal with it.

So like her uncle's family, there is a struggle for power between a son-in-law and a concubine, and she has never been in contact with it.

Zeng Xinlang didn't want to mention these sad topics anymore, he turned around and asked, "Cousin, I don't know what the situation is at the rouge shop, how are you preparing?" ”
