Recently, the Lin Mansion has been too lively, with the approval of Mrs. Lin, Lin Zhang's family is riveting Zhang Luo, not only spent a lot of money to renovate and arrange the yard to prepare for the banquet, but also called the shopkeeper of Weiyang Jin from Haixing, giving everyone a new look from the inside out, and asked the white shopkeeper to go to Shaluo Port to buy goods in person, and change the way to make the dishes of the banquet. In just a few days, all the ladies and ladies who had come to the banquet had forgotten the little things that had happened in the Lin Mansion before, and they were still flattering as before.

However, these ladies are all shrewd, and naturally understand the intentions of the Lin Zhang family, they originally wanted to climb up with the Lin Mansion, but now they see that the Lin Mansion has not been affected by the changes in the Chamber of Commerce, but they don't know where they have befriended the big merchants to the next level, and they are full of expectations, and they will dress up their own girls to show off their flowers, hoping to win the favor of the Lin family, the eldest young master, the future president of the Chamber of Commerce.

Today, the white shopkeeper brought back several carts of crabs from Salo Harbor, steamed in the pot, and then with hot rice wine, in the golden sunshine and fragrant aroma of late autumn, everyone is drunk for three points, Lin Zhang's sat on the soft collapse, surrounded by a group of Yin Yin Yanyan girls, flattering on the left and flattering on the right, coaxing the brain straight confused, even the depressed Lin Wenjuan, recently cheerful a lot, it is really a compliment to make people comfortable.

Lin Wenhai took advantage of another girl to perform on stage, turned a corner and walked out of the garden, and went to a secluded path, these banquets were held to find a suitable wife for him, so he couldn't dodge, but he couldn't stand it with a smiling face all day long, and he couldn't stand it, he was even thinking, wouldn't it be enough to pick a random one? Anyway, what does it matter if he likes this wife or not? In the final analysis, it still depends on whether you can take care of the top and bottom of the Lin Mansion.

"I knew you were going to get out." Shang Ting covered her mouth and smiled, she changed a little, her eyebrows became gentle, and even her tone was a lot lighter, but Lin Wenhai thought that these changes were not because she was pregnant, maybe she finally jumped out of the shackles of the Wang family. "The main owner is not here, I really don't know how Mrs. Lin chooses one of those girls you like."

Lin Wenhai smiled, warm but tired, he invited Shang Ting to sit on the stool and said, "Don't make fun of me, my parents' words are matchmakers, where can I speak." ”

Indeed, no one can disobey the orders of their parents, so Shang Ting is a little sentimental, such a good teenager, I don't know who his future wife will be? Will you treat him well, "Then do you have a fancy?" Maybe I do. ”

"Can we stop talking about this?" Lin Wenhai felt a little embarrassed, and asked instead, "Why are you here?" ”

"Why can't I come? Wang Yanchang can't wait for me to come! He needs your father's help, but Wang Yanlin doesn't care, Wang Kun can't point to it, and he can't pull his son to visit in person, so he can only let me move you. ”

Lin Wenhai suddenly thought of one thing, Wang Kun has been tossing around in the Chamber of Commerce recently, lobbying merchants everywhere and cooperating with them, eighty or ninety percent of the people in the Chamber of Commerce have been moved, but if you really want to do this, you still need the big seal of the county magistrate, "What do you need me to do?" ”

Shang Ting smiled, she looked at Lin Wenhai, her eyebrows and eyes were full of joy, "Don't do anything, just choose a wife with peace of mind." ”

"What?"

"Involve your father, I am already ashamed of you, I can't drag you into my grudge anymore, Wenhai, I promise you, after this matter is over, I will definitely compensate you."

Lin Wenhai's body leaned back, and he had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, he knew that Shang Ting was going to completely destroy the Wang family, but to what extent, he didn't think about it, "Since someone is helping you, don't do everything yourself, you still have to focus on your body, but I see, you are much better than Wen Juan, why is she also pregnant, she is so unenergetic?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll go and see her, after all, I'm a few years older than her, and I can persuade her, by the way, I heard that I was injured a few days ago?"

"Out of the way." Lin Wenhai didn't want to talk more about what happened to him that day.

Shang Ting also knew that after all, this was the Lin Mansion, and she couldn't be alone with Lin Wenhai for too long, lest the ladies of those good things see it and increase gossip, so she got up and left.

But the two of them had just walked a few steps, and they saw Chen Heng being drunk, and he bumped into him in despair, Xiliang protected Shang Ting, and was just about to speak, but was pressed down by Shang Ting, Geely's eyes quickly stepped forward, supported the drunken Chen Heng, and said, "Uncle! Ahead is the lady's yard! You've gone wrong! ”

Lin Wenhai blocked Chen Heng, Shang Ting had already turned a corner and went forward, "Why didn't anyone follow?" ”

Chen Heng pushed Geely away and laughed at himself: "What is my identity? Where is the next person to serve? It's not like you, Young Master Lin! How many people are squeezing their heads to serve you! It's all a cheap life! Who's nobler than whom! ”

"Geely, hurry up and help him back."

"No need for you!" Chen Heng pushed away Geely again, but staggered and fell to the ground, he pointed to the direction Shang Ting left and said, "Don't think I didn't see it!" The eldest lady of the merchant! Mrs. Shang of the Wang family! Recently, I have opened my mind, and I know that marrying a wife should focus on my husband's family! used to have eyes on the top of his head, but now he has learned to act like others and almost do things for his husband's family! ”

"If you talk nonsense again, I will ask someone to tie you up and send you back to Chen's house!"

Chen Heng shook his arm and said, "It doesn't matter! What more face do I want! Whoever wants to be like me now will have hanged himself! Just because I'm shameless! I'm counting on you to help me! For Wen Juan's sake! But what the hell I'm marrying! Run to your mother's house every day! Give our family a face! Do you know how the neighborhood laughs at me and my mother? The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a chicken! ”

"My aunt!" Geely covered Chen Heng's mouth, looked at Lin Wenhai Tieqing's face, and remembered that Chen Heng's defeat was mentioned again recently.

Lin Wenhai naturally knows it, but Chen Heng's defeat is a fact, and it is also a fact that Wen Juan is willful and disobedient, and the Lin family is either powerless or extremely conniving with these two things, he can't refute it, "Send it back!" ”

On the other side, Xiliang was worried, she was worried that Chen Heng would talk nonsense everywhere when she saw them, so she said: "This uncle of the Lin Mansion is too ignorant, and he wants to be like our house, when did the male family enter the inner house?" ”

Shang Ting sneered: "The entire Lin Mansion is not as big as a separate courtyard of the Shang Mansion, what kind of inner house and outer house are there?" She stopped at a pavilion and said, "Bring Lin Wenjuan here." ”

"Yes." Kira hurried away.

After a while, I saw Lin Wenjuan coming over and complaining: "He can talk to whoever he likes to talk to, what do I care about this?" What a idleness! ”

Ah Chun said: "Madame, let's be a little more careful, after all, it is the uncle of the mansion and the face of the Lin mansion." ”

"What face does he want? It's ridiculous! Don't say that you are more angry, do you want to blame us for living a waste? As if the Lin Mansion owed him much! Walking through the hedge, Lin Wenjuan suddenly saw the people in the pavilion, and she sneered: "Could it be you?" ”

Xiliang didn't know when she came back, she stood up and said, "What did Mrs. Chen say?" My wife is the merchant lady of the Wang family. ”

Lin Wenjuan's face changed, and when she saw Shang Ting who turned around, she knew that she had lost her words, no matter how arrogant she was, in the face of the people who helped Lin Wenhai, she still understood etiquette, "It's wrong, it's all the people below who are talking nonsense, and they abruptly Miss Shang." ”

"It's all right, come and sit." Shang Ting smiled.

Lin Wenjuan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect her to invite her to sit with her, so she slowly moved over and opened her mouth first, "Why is Mrs. Shang blowing a cool breeze here and not drinking tea in the front hall?" ”

"I've come to your brother for something, and I'm about to leave."

"It can't be the Chamber of Commerce, right?" Lin Wenjuan naturally knew how important the Chamber of Commerce was to Lin Wenhai, so she turned her head and instructed Ah Chun, "Hurry up and find it." ”

But I heard Shang Ting say: "Don't be busy, everything is over, look at the scenery here is good, so I stayed for a while, but coincidentally, I met you, this is the first time we have spoken, right?" The first few times I visited, I didn't say hello very seriously. ”

"Why not? In my grandmother's yard, didn't we still talk? ”

"I'm hoping to leave early, what can I talk to you about?" Shang Ting smiled, and Lin Wenjuan also felt a lot more relaxed, yes, at that time, the Lin family and the Wang family were still misunderstandings. "Your brother said that you don't have any energy, I don't look like it, what happened just now? Angry so much? ”

Lin Wenjuan crooked her mouth and said unhappily: "It's not all Ah Chun, I don't know who I heard talking about, saying that Chen Heng and a girl are entangled here, so I have to come and see." ”

"You girl didn't hear it right, but your husband had a conflict with someone, but not with a girl, but with your brother." Shang Ting explained

"What!" Lin Wenjuan was anxious when she heard it, Chen Heng dared to mess with Lin Wenhai? "Is he crazy?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm drunk, but I can understand, after all, it's impossible for anyone to pretend to be light when they encounter this kind of thing, he is the most promising in the academy, but his luck is really bad, so many people, how did he happen to meet him?"

"It's said that it's luck, but it's actually the root cause of his own trouble, who knows what unsightly things he did on the way to the big test, and what people he shouldn't provoke, if you want me to say, he really deserves it!"

Shang Ting smiled: "After all, he is your husband, so he is too pitiful, I have also heard about it, Lord Lin asked someone to ask, and there has been no result, right?" So what are you going to do in the future? ”

"I haven't thought about the future yet, look at Chen Heng's ghostly appearance, like a puddle of mud! It's like everyone in the world owes him, and no one is pleasing to the eye! It's annoying! ”

"If you want me to say, a man's achievements should not be limited to the road of being an official, I see that your brother is doing things very well in the Chamber of Commerce, and if he becomes the president in the future, he will definitely be able to glorify the ancestors of the Lin family."

Lin Wenjuan laughed, leaning forward and leaning back like a tumbler, "Don't let my father hear this, he always dreams that there is a scholar in the Lin family, how big is my brother's business?" To put it bluntly, he is a businessman, not as good as those high-ranking literati, and he still doesn't like my father. ”

Hearing this, Shang Ting felt that Lin Wenhai was a little pitiful, almost pitiful to the situation of being a daughter, obviously working hard, but not getting recognition, "If the Lin family has a better future because of your brother, will Lord Lin look at your brother differently?" Actually, your brother ... Pretty good. ”

"My dad was also very good to my brother, but the expectations he put on him since he was a child were too high, and my brother didn't do it, but did something else, and my dad was a little disappointed. Besides, my father just admires scholars like Chen Heng, he never thought that relying on these glorious lintels, Mrs. Shang doesn't have to care about these trivial things in my family, who doesn't have a few worries at home? It's all going to pass. ”

"Maybe in a few days, Lord Lin will be promoted! Then he'll see your brother's good. ”

"My dad? No way! Lin Wenjuan waved her hand, she hadn't thought about it at all.

But Shang Ting didn't joke, others didn't know that Yao Erlin, the prefect of Wendengcheng, and the merchant were in-laws, and if there was no merchant, Yao Erlin would not have today's status. She has already decided to help Lin Wenhai, so naturally she wants to help her to the end.

"Mrs. Shang, you are different from those ladies." Lin Wenjuan smiled, "They all say that my brother Yushu is in the wind and has a bright future, but none of them are like you, saying that my brother is kind and good-looking." ”

Shang Ting was slightly stunned, she couldn't remember what she had said, but these words were not wrong, Lin Wenhai was indeed a gentle person, and he was also very considerate, "He is still a very interesting person, no one who sees him for the first time can guess that he is a businessman." ”

"You think so, too?"

"yes, like a serious reader."

Lin Wenjuan couldn't remember who she had heard this from, but it didn't matter, which lady who was a guest in the Lin Mansion now was not here to praise Lin Wenhai? It is said that he is humble and polite, and his bearing is like that, and he is the son and brother of those families in Xiyue City, which people can't forget at a glance.
