Chapter 4: A Secret, Everyone Knows
When the chief sent Tang Youchen here, he was rushing to drink the happy wine, after all, the current power is so huge, and half of the country is already its own territory, and this time it is a rich man who is not worthy of the governor.
It's really feng shui in turns.
"Are you going to avenge your former governor?"
"No, I'm loyal to the North City, and I want the people of the North City to never live a life of displacement."
Of course Tang Youchen won't love the people in this place, because he knows how these people laughed at him at the beginning, he just wanted to protect a Li Sisi, he found that he was different from when he was a teenager, he had nothing at that time, and even talking was empty talk, but at that time he really dared to go to her door to propose marriage.
But now he is timid, and he doesn't even know what to say when he sees Li Sisi's words, and he doesn't even know what kind of way the two people should meet.
That's because of this, the driver didn't hear him when he met yesterday, and he didn't struggle to see this person, not because he didn't love or because he didn't miss or because he loved too much, so he didn't know where to put this woman.
"What you think is what I think, and I will definitely follow you to do a good job."
Vice General Bai is different from Tang Youchen, Vice General Bai really thinks according to what Tang Youchen said, so he thinks that the new governor wants to exterminate Pei Guan's forces and want to make the people of Beicheng live a better life, so he is really motivated to follow him.
It's not like every day was a muddy mess before, and I don't know when the mess will come to an end, in fact, Vice General Bai is a very good person, but he lacks the ability to judge major matters, in fact, it is a bit arbitrary, but after Tang Youchen came, he could command Vice General Bai very well, and he felt that his whole person was alive.
Tang Youchen didn't know what Vice General Bai thought, but before he came, the chief said that Vice General Bai was very good and loyal to them, which was enough, as long as it wasn't with Pei Zhou, Tang Youchen hated that the people around him were intrigued, but there was no way to live in this era, it was not so easy to eat, it used to be a day of licking blood on the tip of a knife, but now it can finally be more stable.
At the same time, the merchant is a different scene, Shang Yu was asked by his father to take care of Li Sisi when he was studying abroad, but at that time he had two years to return to China, but it was these two years that made Shang Yu deeply in love with the free and life-loving Li Sisi.
"Young master, the master is already waiting for you in the study."
In fact, Shang Yu didn't go to the company today but went to pick up Li Sisi, and then found that she was picked up by Uncle Zhang, Li Sisi returned to China and he was bound to mention this matter to his father, but before he could mention it, his father began to be anxious, after all, Shang Yu was already in his twenties, according to normal customs, he should have been married at this time, and the children were running all over the ground.
"Dad, are you looking for me for Sisi's business?"
"Now you can't marry her, now that the Li family colludes with those people is a fact, if we come forward to marry the Li family at this time, what will others say about us?"
Old Man Shang and Li Wen are not old friends, but Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Li are sisters who wear a pair of pants, Shang Yu is not unheard of this matter, but he feels that his father will not care about those eyes as much as himself, although Shang Yu is a scholarly family, but his father's business is getting bigger and bigger.
Li Sisi was a big family at the beginning, but since Shang Yu returned to China to run his own company, the Li family is not one of the largest families in Beicheng.
However, when it comes to it, it is still a legendary family that everyone is familiar with, and there is no orthodox income, but the days are so solid, in fact, Shang Yu is still a little curious, although Li Sisi's two brothers are now also learning to do business, but the IQ of the two people is always declining, and they also have a good reputation for achievements, Li Sisi has returned to China now, when she was outside, Shang Yu discovered her extremely high artistic talent, and every final exam is the first place in the class.
Although the two of them are not in the same grade, not in the same class, or even in a subject, Li Sisi's beauty and wisdom always attract the coveted eyes of other men, of course, Li Sisi has been studying abroad for several years, and it was Shang Yu who helped her block the peach blossoms.
This saved Li Sisi a lot of trouble.
"I've already informed my grandmother of the matter of marrying Sisi, you can do it."
He didn't expect that his father didn't agree, but he just informed his grandmother first, but he didn't expect that this would become a means of threatening his father.
"You? You will regret it, the current Beicheng is long different from before you left, at that time, if you marry Li Sisi, it will be helpful to our family, but now the Li family is not only colluding with the enemy but also lonely at this time, I have already chosen another young lady for you. “
In fact, there is another reason why Master Shang disagrees with Shang Yu's meaning, that is, whether Li Sisi left home to study to avoid the beggar or whether Li Wen is really interesting and wants Li Sisi to go out and have a look.
Shang Qi is a businessman, everything is based on interests, the most important thing in that era was to fill his stomach and protect his life, of course, Li Wen did not clearly say that Shang Yu and Li Sisi must get married.
Shang Qi was also afraid, after all, the massacre at the beginning, if it really made Li Wen unhappy, maybe it would really anger them, but Li Wen has always listened to the old lady, and because of this kind of trivial matter, not to mention Shang Yu, there are many good men in this world, and Li Wen may not necessarily look down on Shang Yu.
So as long as there is no movement on Li Wen's side, he wants to let Shang Yu get married quickly, so that he doesn't have to be afraid anymore, after all, the two have neither the friendship of childhood sweethearts nor any commitment from the two families, so it is not related.
Shang Yu unilaterally likes Li Sisi and also extinguished this flame for him at this time, men are all the same, what they like or not, as long as it is suitable, they can spend the rest of their lives, not to mention that there are so many concubines filling the house, Shang Yu will forget Li Sisi in a few days.
"You are bold now, you don't need to go through the consent of this old lady to do things, Yu'er is my only grandson, I can ignore you otherwise, but this marriage can only be decided by him alone."
The old lady Shang was physically tough, and there were two servants behind her, and she entered her son's study with a scolding attitude.
Shang Qi is the only son of Mrs. Shang, but why is it called Shang Qi because Mr. Shang has six before this child, and none of them have survived, so I want to give this child a simple name.
"Mother, this is a big deal, can you not follow it?"
Shang Qi, who was still a one-eyed man just now, walked to the door at this time and helped the old lady sit down, Shang Qi was too utilitarian, but the old lady attached too much importance to feelings, so the two of them couldn't reach an agreement on this matter at all.
But Mrs. Shang insisted on saying that she had agreed with Mrs. Li, if she broke her trust and made herself unable to gain a foothold in Beicheng, she didn't care how Shang Qi talked to the young lady of that family, anyway, as long as it was what her grandson wanted to do, it must be done.
Mrs. Shang is such a son, but also such a grandson, the descendants of this merchant are pitiful, and they all grew up with care, can they make the children unhappy at this time?
The old lady gave Shang Yu a look, and he immediately understood that grandma didn't sleep so late just to save himself.
Although Shang Yu is the only boy of this merchant and the only son of Shang Qi, he has not known his father well since he was a child in boarding school.
Mrs. Li doesn't like Li Sisi because of her mother, but if she marries Shang Yu, Mrs. Li not only looks at her face but also looks at her family wealth, with such a good Sun Xu, she still has something to be dissatisfied with in the second half of her life, which is also an opportunity for the Li family to stand up again.
Shang Yu's ability is very strong, this is in the eyes of one of his fathers, if he marries a woman who helps him, of course he will be more powerful in the business field, and if he marries Li Sisi, he will also supplement her stormy mother's family.
The businessman is like this, he only has money in his eyes, but now he obviously can't control this child, the old lady has come forward to make this matter so decided, although he is not worried about his son's business, but Li Sisi's current family background is not as clean as it was four years ago.
I heard that the newly appointed governor has allocated Pei Guan's face, but he didn't give him any face, and if the two of them started a war, the first unlucky one would be a pond fish like the Li family.
The family business that he worked hard to build, of course, can't be ruined because of a woman, Shang Qi has never loved anyone in his life, but he has everything, he doesn't know what love is, so he feels that everything that has interests can still be considered, but Li Sisi has no capital for people to consider.
He thought that the woman his son liked was just outstanding in appearance, after all, good-looking skins were always easy to remember, and he always had a day when he was disgusted with her, but he was not in a hurry, women such a thing, the change in appearance was quite fast, Shang Qi had such an abacus in his heart, so the persecution of the old lady and his son did not seem to be so unwilling to compromise.
"Since you like her so much, ask your grandmother to go to his house to propose."
Mrs. Shang knew that her son would compromise, although he was such a difficult person to persuade.
On the day Li Sisi returned to China, of course, the Li family was welcomed from the maid to Li Wen, and only Lan Jing disappeared alone, but when Li Sisi asked, Li Wen used a very perfunctory reason.
He would never tell his daughter that he gave his wife to Pei Zhou as a plaything.
