But as soon as he said this, he regretted it, his sister was still a girl who had not left the cabinet, and the Ye family used her to show up as an excuse. Tomorrow's tea house bidding, there must be people coming and going, if my sister goes to the tea house, won't it make people gossip?

Zhong Lingyu seriously considered his brother's proposal, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll take a look tomorrow." ”

Zhong Lingming was stupid, and said hurriedly: "Sister, I'll just talk about it, don't listen to me!" ”

Zhong Lingyu glanced at him: "Tomorrow's bidding, the matter is important, I can't rest assured, go over there and sit in the room, you can ask me if there is anything, you don't have to send people to run around." ”

Zhong Lingming wanted to say that the tea house was not far from home, so it didn't take much to run around. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

My sister has her own reasons for acting, even the shopkeeper Ge is not as good as herself, so why use him to point fingers?

On the second day, Zhong Lingyu had breakfast, put on a hat, and went to the teahouse with Zhong Lingming.

At this time, it was still early before the time of bidding, but there were many people outside the tea house. Among them, there are many merchants who originally abandoned the Zhong family's big house and the second room to buy Ming Qian tea, and wanted to ask Ge's shopkeeper to participate in the bidding; There are also those who have never done business with the Zhong family before, and are ready to participate in the second and third batches of bidding, and now they are here to find out.

The carriage stopped outside the teahouse, Zhong Lingyu got out of the carriage surrounded by the maids, and went to the teahouse, at this time, a middle-aged woman suddenly rushed out of it, and a man was chasing behind her, and scolded in her mouth: "What day is this today?" You don't say that you are honest and work at home, and you chase you here to ask for money, see if I don't kill you. As he spoke, he took off his shoes and threw them in this direction.

The woman dodged to Zhong Lingyu's side, and her shoes were dodged by her, but the hat Zhong Lingyu was wearing was blocked by her hand, and flew into the air with a "whew", and Zhong Lingyu's fair-skinned and beautiful face was immediately exposed to everyone.

Although the rain jumped up, he took the hat in his hand and immediately put it on Zhong Lingyu, without giving others more time to look at it. Zhong Lingyu did not stop at his feet, leaving only Ding's mother here to deal with the middle-aged couple who caused trouble, and the rest of them quickly entered the tea house and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, but Zhong Lingyu's flashing beauty still caused everyone's discussion:

"This Miss Zhong is really beautiful! If only I could marry her, I would have no regrets in this life! ”

"Hey, didn't you say she was disfigured? This skin is like white jade, where is it disfigured, isn't it nonsense? ”

"With such a posture of captivating the country and the city, and very smart, if anyone marries her, wouldn't it be a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation? I don't know who has such a blessing. ”

In the crowd of onlookers, there was Master Wang, who abandoned the Zhong family's big house during the tea before the Ming Dynasty and went to do business with the second room. Seeing Zhong Lingyu, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to his son, "Go, go home." He turned and squeezed his way out of the crowd and walked towards his carriage.

The eldest young master of the Wang family hurriedly squeezed out, got into the carriage, and asked his father: "Dad, we all said it when we came, and I will talk to the shopkeeper Ge for a while, maybe there are fewer people over there, let us participate in the bidding." Why did you suddenly change your mind and go home? ”

But Master Wang didn't explain, and first instructed the coachman: "Go home immediately." Then he said to his son, "You don't have to ask, I have my own opinions." ”

The eldest young master of the Wang family frowned, closed his mouth and did not speak, and was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart.

He is now twenty-seven or eight years old, although the family is headed by Mrs. Wang, a family of four rooms and dozens of people live together, and there is no separation, but because he is the grandson of the head of the Wang family, he participates in the business of the Wang family, and he also has a place for him to discuss major events in the family, and his father regards him as the heir of the Wang family to focus on training, and he has discussed everything with him, and never hides it from him.

But today, my father obviously had some idea, but he didn't tell him.

Master Wang didn't have time to pay attention to Master Wang. After saying that, he frowned and pondered, as if he was thinking about something. But his eyebrows soon furrowed, and a smile appeared on his face from time to time, as if he had thought of something good.

Seeing his father like this, Young Master Wang felt even more depressed, and couldn't help but ask again: "Dad, have you thought of any good ideas?" ”

Master Wang smiled and said lightly: "I have to discuss this matter with your grandfather first, and then tell you." After speaking, he closed his eyes, looking unwilling to talk deeply.

Young Master Wang sulked in his heart, unhappy.

But soon the carriage stopped in front of Wang's house, and Master Wang didn't wait for his son to help, he jumped out of the car and walked to the door, and soon his figure disappeared behind the shadow wall.

The gatekeeper didn't have time to please the eldest master, so he had to step forward and help the eldest young master down diligently, and asked with a smile: "The eldest young master, why did you come back so soon?" ”

Young Master Wang's stomach is angry, and there is no place to attack. Seeing the flattering look of the porter nodding and bowing, he suddenly felt very unpleasant, and scolded: "Talking too much, asking about everything, what is your intention?" ”

The porter was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, and he stammered: "The villain didn't, he didn't mean that, he just found a random conversation to talk to the eldest young master, really, really didn't want to inquire about anything......

Young Master Wang also knew that this concierge was his wife's companion room, and he had always been loyal, so he didn't pursue it deeply, snorted coldly, and chased his father's back.

When he arrived at his grandfather's residence in the upper room and wanted to enter the door, a maid stopped him: "The eldest young master, the eldest master has ordered, he wants to discuss things with the old lady, and no one can enter this house without his consent." ”

Young Master Wang's face suddenly sank.

He stood at the door of the upper room, stared at the curtain for a moment, flicked his sleeves, and turned away.

And in the house, at this time, Master Wang was talking to Mrs. Wang: "Dad, the age of Bu'er at home is exactly the same as Miss Zhong, and the two of them are very compatible, why don't I call someone to propose marriage in the afternoon?" ”

Old lady Wang hesitated: "Bu'er is a child, and when she ends next year, she will definitely be able to come back with a show." Isn't it a pity to match that Miss Zhong? It's better that next year he will be selected for Xiucai and give him a young lady from an official family. Besides, he is still one year younger than Miss Zhong. It's better to match Miss Zhong to Tu'er. Tu'er doesn't like to study, so he can only take the business road. I heard you say that this eldest lady of the Zhong family is smart and capable, and she is just right. He is the same year as Miss Zhong, and the two are compatible. ”

When Master Wang heard this, he was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Our county official and young lady, there are few people who are the same age as Bu'er, and some of them have already been engaged." Moreover, in our realm, there are many scholars, and it is not uncommon to show talents. Our Wang family is a merchant family, and those who are officials may not be able to take a fancy to us. Although the Zhong family is a merchant like us, I heard that Miss Zhong's uncle and grandfather were the sons of a senior official in Fuling County, and when Master Zhong died, that family also sent someone to visit and was very concerned about their room. With this family, wouldn't it be more helpful to Bu'er than those junior officials in the county? As for being one year younger, this is not a problem, and it is extremely common for couples to be two or three years apart. ”

Old lady Wang stroked her beard and pondered, but did not speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Master Wang was so anxious that he couldn't do it.
