Lin Mei's heart was cold, but this matter was too much of a coincidence, as soon as the Lin family and the Du family looked at each other, someone looked at the Du family on the back foot, could the Du family be implicated? When Shangguan Jun was designed, the fourth child of the Zheng family was implicated, and now he is paralyzed in bed, the ancients were superstitious, but they wanted the little lady of the Du family to marry into the Zheng family to be happy for the son, so who told the Zheng family that they had to find a five-element wood? Who revealed the birthday of the little lady of the Du family? There are loopholes in this matter. I don't know what Haizi will think if he also knows the cause and effect?!

Lin Mei's tense face slowly relaxed, and she let out a long breath, "Does Haizi know these things?" ”

"Where do I dare to tell him, besides, the two families are just talking about marriage, and they haven't made up their minds, why bother him at this juncture, after a long time, the Du family has not replied for a long time, and he must have forgotten." The shopkeeper Tong was also full of resentment at this time.

Lin Mei hesitated for a moment, tapped her fingers on the table a few times, and then said, "Don't tell him about this matter yet, just treat them as if they have no chance." If the shopkeeper Tong has nothing to do, go back first, I still have something to tell to do it. ”

No matter how smart the shopkeeper Tong is, he can't guess the master's thoughts at this time, so he glanced at the second son, and his expression eased slightly, "The little one, retire first." ”

Tong Dacai's mind was flying, and when he saw that the master was uncertain, he must have compassion, and couldn't help but persuade: "The master pities the little lady of the Du family?" ”

"I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, the root cause of this matter is that I hurt her, there is a debtor and a master, if she is really willing to marry into the Zheng family, she will not worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life, and it will also be a help to his brother's future. But I see that this matter is a little strange, our two families have just looked at each other, but the Zheng family wants the little lady of the Du family to marry into the Zheng family to be happy for the son, so who told the Zheng family that they have to find a five-element wood? Who revealed the birthday of the little lady of the Du family? Which matchmaker is the Zheng family looking for? There are many loopholes in this, but I am afraid that this is aimed at the Lin family, and the Du family is just a disaster for the pond fish. ”

You can't blame Lin Meiduo for this, the little lady of the Du family is also an older leftover girl, and no one has been caring, why was she targeted? At this time, Lin Mei keenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

Tong Dacai frowned, and he also realized that this incident was no accident, "Otherwise, let's start first, if you want to talk about the order, it is obvious that our Lin family first looks down on the little lady of the Du family, and then the Du family may not be willing to push their daughter into the fire pit." ”

"But if the Du family is unwilling to marry their daughter to the Zheng family and marry into our Lin family, if there is something wrong with Zheng Laosi because of this, then our Lin family will offend the Zheng family, but I am afraid that the people behind it will fight this idea." Lin Mei already knew the crux of the matter.

"If you offend, you will be offended, it is the Zheng family who is related to the British government, will this matter still be caused by the British government? What's more, Zheng Laosi's father is just a shopkeeper, and he is still a side branch of the five suits, so why should the master be afraid of him. After Tong Dacai finished speaking, he muttered in his heart Anyway, we have the backer of King Qi behind us, so why be afraid.

Lin Mei's eyes suddenly lit up, "Xu is my photo, it's not as transparent as you think, you send someone to inquire, what is the attitude of the Du family, and then explore the situation of the Zheng family, especially the relationship with the Yan branch." ”

"No, what did you just say about Longcui Pavilion?"

Lin Mei shook her head: "This matter is not good, if we take the opportunity to take over at this time, we will inevitably be targeted, if we investigate further, our calculation of Uncle Guo will be exposed, and the gains outweigh the losses." If you look at other places, it doesn't have to be a shop or a restaurant, I still say that if there is a good location, it is also feasible. ”

Tong Dacai is a pity, not to mention the location of Longcui Pavilion, the house alone is twice as large as Hongxing Building, and it is in the West Market, so restaurants are rare.

"But ......" Lin Mei changed her words and continued: "If it is that Longcui Pavilion begging us to buy it, it will be another matter, Longcui Pavilion is closed, presumably the Zheng family is putting pressure behind the back, and they want to change hands out of desperation, and their peers take the opportunity to coax down the price, and the owner of Longcui Pavilion is not reconciled, and they want to find a gas barrel and scapegoat." You want to find a way to secretly help the shopkeeper Bian, but don't mention the business, if you can win over the shopkeeper Bian and the chef in the restaurant, it would be the best. ”

"Master, this is the first attack on the city?" Tong Dacai was puzzled.

Lin Mei smiled: "What is the siege of the city and not the siege of the city?" What's the use of I want Longcui Pavilion, as long as there are manpower, now let's not talk about opening one branch, it's no problem to open ten branches, I value people. ”

Tong Dacai sighed and asked puzzledly: "Can this person who has been dug up be loyal to us?" ”

Lin Mei shook her head and said: "Where do I know, and I'm not a fortune teller, but I think that people's hearts are flesh and blood, if we treat people sincerely, and we can't get a piece of loyalty, then let it go, as long as the kitchen and the purchase of that piece are loyal to us, we are not afraid of them." ”

"The master treats people with sincerity, there is no disloyalty to our master up and down the Hongxing Building, there are still a lot of stewards who want to defect to us some time ago, I have been fooled, or, I have been co-opted by these people?" Tong Dacai tried to suggest.

Lin Mei was slightly shocked, "Oh, our Hongxing Mansion has become a fragrant bait, even if they can betray the former master, they will also betray me in the future, what is the use of such a person?" You might as well choose a few apprentices to take care of yourself, and you won't have to do everything yourself in the future. ”

This is the master's sympathy, Tong Dacai has such a special reuse and appreciation, the limelight faintly surpasses his father's style, and the heart is proud, bowed, and retreated.

In the evening, the sunset was like a fire illuminating the red glow in the sky, Lin Mei looked at the gorgeous red glow, her heart suddenly brightened, and she walked around the courtyard.

At this moment, there was a burst of baby crying.

"What's going on?"

Sixi hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "Miss Four is crying again, and I don't know why, these days, Miss Four will cry more than once she arrives at this time, and sometimes she will make trouble until midnight, no matter how you coax her." ”

Lin Mei frowned: "Didn't Mrs. invite Lang Zhong to take a look?" ”

"Mrs. said that the child cries at night, it is useless to invite Lang Zhong, you have to ask the Taoist priest to do it, the master does not allow the wife to open the altar at home, and the wife will go to the Shangqing Palace on the outskirts of the city today, and she has not come back at this time."

"Nonsense, go and inform the housekeeper and ask Lang Zhong to treat the fourth lady." After Lin Mei finished speaking, she walked quickly to the main house.

Lin Mei didn't want to see Zhou Ximei anymore, but the child was innocent, not to mention the Lin family's bloodline. As soon as she entered the house, she saw that Mama Wu was coaxing her with a small gong and drum in her hand.

"What's wrong with her?" Lin Mei looked at the child who was crying on the bed and asked with a red face.

Mama Wu hurriedly put down the small gong and drum and replied: "The old slave is not very clear, he slept well just now, and when he woke up, he cried, I fed some rice soup, and the urine ring was changed, but the fourth lady still cried." ”

Lin Mei probed the temperature on her body, it was a little hot, and then pulled out her clothes layer by layer, Mom, is this a wrapping zongzi? There are three layers inside and three layers outside, and when you count them carefully, you actually wear six small clothes and two jackets. Hurriedly pull out the child's clothes one by one and take them off.

"The eldest lady can't help it, if this makes the fourth lady catch the cold, the wife will have to make trouble again." Mama Wu hurriedly stopped.

"She's making a fuss, look at this child's body has a rash, she's a mother of three children, can she not understand this?" Lin Mei couldn't help but feel that Zhou Ximei had ulterior motives.
