On the morning of the eighth day of the new year, Xiaobai left without saying hello to anyone, and before leaving, he asked a little girl to send something to Jilin.

After Geely waited for Lin Wenhai to freshen up, he took it out, "Young master, there is still a note left by the little white girl." ”

There was peanut candy in the bag, Lin Wenhai ate a piece casually, and saw that there was only one sentence written on the note: Do what you want, live up to yourself. He suddenly laughed.

"When did she leave?" The bitterness in Lin Wenhai's mouth faded without a trace because of Xiaobai's peanut candy.

"It's almost an hour."

"Hurry up and let people catch up, Ming'er is going to Fuzhidi, prepare fifty jars of wine for me before she goes."

"Okay, let's go for the little ones."

Geely was just about to leave, when he heard Lin Wenhai ask, "What about the people of the Wang family?" ”

"The lord booked a banquet in Wenying Pavilion, saying that he would have lunch before leaving."

"Where's Mrs. Shang?"

"West Garden."

"You go and invite her over, and say, the little white girl who welcomed the guest has left some wine for me, and invite her to have a drink."

"Didn't the little white girl leave peanut candy?"

"Don't go yet!"

Geely was reprimanded coldly, and ran away as soon as he slipped away.

Mrs. Shang was in the garden, resting softly, she fell asleep very late last night, and there were many things on her mind, and her spirit was a little lacking today.

Kira led Gilly over, but she didn't hear it.

"Mrs. Shang, the little white girl who welcomed the guests left some wine, and the young master of my family heard that you are familiar with the welcome guests, please go to the study to talk about it."

"Let your young master save it." Shang Ting's eyes didn't even open.

Geely couldn't help but be dumbfounded, stunned in place and didn't know how to react, in the past, it was his young master who was the greatest, and this refusal of invitation had never happened.

Xiyuan trotted over, Xiliang went to buy fresh fruit early in the morning, and after the end, she would go back to Wang's house directly, she was busy alone, tired to death, and her tone was naturally not good, "My wife is unwell, she can't drink, if there is anything to discuss, please ask Young Master Lin to find President Wang." ”

Lin Wenhai was not surprised by this result, but he would be surprised if this merchant lady really came. Wang Yanlin and his entourage, accompanied by Lin Dongyue, were full of wine and food, and they were in high spirits and did not stay longer.

This time, Lin Wenhai didn't go, there are some things that are enough to say once, the important thing is to see what step he can do after that.

Mrs. Shang waited until the afternoon to set off, Lin Zhang's instructed the fruit around her to prepare more melons and spring water and put it on the carriage, before leaving, Mrs. Shang rewarded the fruit with a purse, the purse used the best soft smoke, embroidered with a handful of daisies, not like the usual reward, the fruit did not dare to hide it privately, so it was handed over to Lin Zhang's hands.

As soon as Lin Zhang opened it, in addition to a silver ticket, there was also a sentence, headless and brainless, and he didn't know what to say. But she obviously felt that this was wrong, she was a deep house woman, and if she was not sure about anything, she would ask Lin Dongyue, but unfortunately, the county magistrate was not in the house, so she had to hurriedly go to Lin Wenhai's yard.

Lin Wenhai saw her panicked, thinking that something was wrong, but when he saw the content of the note, he suddenly burst out laughing.

"Please send the good wine to the merchant, Shang Ting."

Merchants have deep roots in the business town, and most of the successive presidents of the Chamber of Commerce in Huixian County are from merchants, but no matter how big the family business is, it can't withstand the withering of heirs. Originally, this good woman was asked for by a hundred families, and she had to be a daughter-in-law candidate for many people's eyes, but it was providence that made people pick up the treasure by chance, so that the previous president Wang Yanchang picked up the treasure.

Why did Shang Ting get married? Nobody knows. only knew that after Shang Ting got married, others were not allowed to call herself Mrs. Wang, and she never cared about the affairs of the Wang family. After so many years, it seems that she is really going to change her situation, Lin Wenhai sighed again, Xiaobai inadvertently changed the fate of many people.

"This Shang Ting? Isn't that the merchant lady? Lin Zhang asked cautiously.

"Yes." Lin Wenhai put the note to the candle flame and burned it to ashes in an instant, if he guessed correctly, Shang Ting should have a plan in her heart, but she is in too much trouble now, so she will go around in such a circle to tell herself that her current position is the opposite of the previous position. If it weren't for Xiaobai, the two of them would be unspeakably miserable now.

"Ouch, my mother can't figure it out, she married into the Wang family, and this title will not be changed."

"How to change? Let the eldest young master of the Wang family call her mother? Or let President Wang call her Mrs. Sister-in-law? She is still a few years younger than Wang Kun. It's good to know that your identity is embarrassing, and if you hide out, it's not easy to fall into the mouth. ”

"What do you think she thinks? Listen to your father, that old man Wang is in his fifties. Even if it's a continuation of the string, you can't find someone so young. ”

"If Wang Yanchang can't marry Mrs. Shang, there is no current President Wang."

"In this way, these two brothers are really shameless."

"Mother." Lin Wenhai felt that Lin Lin Zhang's words were very inappropriate.

"Isn't it just my mother who thinks so, and she doesn't let people say it?"

Lin Wenhai sighed, didn't want to talk about it more, and said instead: "Hurry up and send Wenjuan back to the Chen family, you can't guard her all her life, and her temperament should also be changed." ”

"Hey, your sister, it really gives me a headache, but as long as you are next to Chen Heng, there is no day to stop the days, and Xiaobai is just right, and the old lady has a quarrel, if something happens, I don't want to press it down quickly, and I don't think it's big enough, thanks to Xiaobai to accompany me, no, just yesterday, your grandmother brought the two of them together and worshiped the sisters."

"You said that grandmother let Wenjuan and Xiaobai worship sisters?" Lin Wenhai's eyes widened, and he couldn't hide his surprise, how could this be possible!

"Yes, I am still urging your father to go to the family tree, my mother didn't have time to tell you, yesterday your grandmother secretly hid it and didn't tell me, but with your grandmother as a witness, it is not a grievance Xiaobai, my mother is worried, Wenjuan is short-tempered, and she doesn't look like a sister at all. . . ."

Lin Wenhai was stunned by the news for a while, and then he didn't hear what Lin Zhang said, and he didn't even know when she left.

When it got dark, the irritability in his heart was still not alleviated in the slightest, and unconsciously, he actually walked away from Mrs. Lin's yard.

When Meiyu saw him come in, she lifted the curtain and invited him into the inner room. Mrs. Lin was getting ready to go to bed. Seeing that he looked like he was not giving up, thinking about the things of the day, I wondered if it was related to the Chamber of Commerce.

"Do you want to think about last night?"

Lin Wenhai didn't react, and looked at the ground blankly. Old Madam Lin sighed slightly, and said unhurriedly: "I blame your father, otherwise you wouldn't be so eager for quick success, I know, you have made a lot of efforts for the position of the next president, and it is also the will of God that things have developed to this point, don't feel sorry for yourself anymore."

The Wang family is still a mess of things that can't be handled cleanly, although your father is an old friend with him, but I think this Wang Yanlin is not like a person who talks about friendship, the little abacus in his heart is louder than anyone else, obviously he doesn't have such a big ability, and no one wants to offend, he doesn't have this eight-sided talent.

It's all people who don't kill for themselves, and he was able to even catch up with a girl for himself to curry favor, not to mention the county king's mansion in Haixing, which is more powerful than your father and businessmen. However, I think this Shang Ting is an understanding person, if she doesn't participate, she will have a chance to pick it up in the future, but it's just a chamber of commerce, how can it compare to the businessman's family business. ”

Lin Wenhai nodded and said: "Mrs. Shang and her grandson have said, her surname is Shang and not Wang, and the affairs of the Wang family have nothing to do with her. ”

"When did you say that?"

"Grandmother, my grandson has already figured it out about this matter, in the past, I didn't know how to be flexible, and I won't be able to do it in the future."

"Wenhai, you have your own way of life, don't suspect that you are wrong because of this little thing. This time, it really has nothing to do with you, it's just a fire at the old city gate, which hurt you little fish. Let me tell you the truth, the Sang family in Xiyue City has a little daughter who married into the Ruan family of Xingyun Mansion, and she is an old friend of the former princess, if it weren't for her this time, I guess the Sang family would not have come forward at all. ”

"If only I had known sooner... Lin Wenhai was very confused in his heart, and he didn't hear the meaning of Mrs. Lin's words, after all, the atmosphere at the banquet last night was not very harmonious, and Mrs. Lin also knew about it.

But Lin Wenhai thought wrongly, Old Madam Lin didn't inquire about last night at all, "It's a pity that I don't know much, if I had known that the master of the Spirit Picking Fruit was the former princess of the county, I could have mentioned you in a timely manner, these things have passed for so many years, if it weren't for such an accident suddenly, no one would have remembered it at all." Even if you think about it, no one dares to talk about it casually. ”

The secret history of the emperor's family has always been buried, where can Lin Wenhai not know. At this moment, he suddenly felt that he was so small. Even Xiaobai, he can't compare.

"Little white she... He still couldn't help but ask.

"Xiaobai? From now on, she will be your sister. Compared to Wen Juan, you have to take care of her more. I'm not afraid to tell you that not only did she help Mrs. Shang by mistake, but she also had some friendship with Mrs. Ruan's daughter, otherwise with the Chamber of Commerce's suppression of the Spirit Fruit, do you think they would be so easy to forget it? Don't think about the chairman's seat! I guess, probably what Xiaobai said, that's why there is the current result, listen to grandmother's words, don't be entangled in the affairs of the Wang family anymore, it should be yours sooner or later.

Your father just takes those scholars too seriously, that Chen Heng is too disagreeable, Wen Juan is talking about it on weekdays, in fact, she is the most simple, she doesn't understand what to say to her, tomorrow you send her back, see Chen Heng's old lady, knock and knock well, her son has not stepped out of the threshold of Fucheng, and then be a demon, be careful and lose more than you lose! You guys, you just have too many good days, and one by one, you are not as good as Xiaobai, and you know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”

Mrs. Lin's words kept echoing in his ears, and all the changes in these days were explained in the old lady's words, but they were just friendships.

"I don't know when Chen Heng will come back, whether he has been sealed or not." Old Madam Lin got up slowly and went to the back.

Lin Wenhai suddenly felt that something was wrong, the first day of July, the second emperor held a banquet in early July, and yesterday, news had come back one after another, but why didn't there be a little letter about Chen Heng?

....

Xiaobai took Lin Wenhai's letter and prepared fifty jars of wine early, but he waited until eleven before they came.

Lin Wenhai saw Xiaobai this time, and he became a little uncomfortable.

Xiaobai didn't think so, he still looked heartless. "Why are you here! It's been days! These fifty jars take up a lot of space, right? ”

"The jars take up space, why didn't you dislike them before?"

"What do you say? Before, they were underground, and now they're blocking my door! ”

"Geely, give the silver to the second lady."

"What Second Miss!" Xiaobai glared at him.

Geely is calm, the Lin Mansion knows up and down, Xiaobai finally became the sister of the eldest lady, although she didn't have time to go to the family tree, isn't it the second lady.

Lin Wenhai nodded Xiaobai's forehead and said with a smile: "You entered the Lin family's genealogy, just like me, you want to call your father and grandmother." What, don't recognize? ”

Xiaobai shook off his hand, frowned and said, "Am I in charge?" ”

"Second Miss, the rules are the rules, it's okay for the eldest young master and the old lady to call you by name, what about you and us?" Geely said.

"Why are you everywhere?"

"The little one is the follower, second miss, silver." Gilly happily put the purse on the table.

Xiaobai glanced at it and said, "This is too much." ”

"If you have more, you will be given pocket money." Lin Wenhai said with a smile. "Geely loading."

"Why are you going?"

"Go to Shangzhen to visit Mrs. Shang."

"Huh? Look at her? Then half of this wine can't be given to her, it's all cold fruits and flowers. But I have a label on it, so you must tell Mrs. Shang carefully. ”

"I don't understand you."

The jar will not be moved for a while, so Xiaobai went to the kitchen to bring out some snacks, and picked a few slices of mint to make tea.

After the early morning, the heat covered the coolness, Xiaobai shuttled among the diners, talking and laughing, packing and serving, ushering in the delivery, the small body was full of energy and energy, which made Lin Wenhai, who was very depressed some time ago, a little surprised.

Seeing that she was so busy, Lin Wenhai was embarrassed to interrupt her, but Xiaobai noticed that he didn't leave, stepped forward and said: "I think you are on the right step this step, who can tell what Wang Yanlin thinks in his heart?" But Mrs. Shang's mind can easily be guessed, it is true that she doesn't like the Wang family, even if you can't be the next president, she will definitely not let the Wang family succeed, whoever wants to be left and right in this matter is the one who suffers the most. ”

Lin Wenhai said with a smile: "You said the same thing as your grandmother, you can't be exquisite, it's better to move forward, anyway, I'm hard-hearted." ”

"I know, I also listened to the people below me that day, and the people from the Chamber of Commerce are also very supportive of you." Xiaobai felt strange, but she couldn't meddle in the Lin family, she didn't know what was going on in the Chamber of Commerce, anyway, the development of things became beneficial to Lin Wenhai.

Seeing that Xiaobai was full of good things to himself but didn't think so, Lin Wenhai shook his head helplessly and said, "You are really good to us, compared to you and Wenjuan, it is too worrying for my grandmother." ”

"Are you talking about the wine again? It's all about having nothing to do with me. ”

"More than that, haven't you heard of it these days? The matter of picking the spirit fruit has come to fruition, although the previous princess of the county is still called Huicheng's shop is open, but she said that she will not cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce within two years, and it is really difficult for you to let the eldest lady of the Ruan family speak for me. ”

Xiao Bai paused in his heart, thinking that Ji Luo's letter did not mention this, it seems that the Chu Pavilion Master did not intend to let them participate in it at all, "Where do I have such great ability!" ”

"Absolutely." Lin Wenhai is a little afraid when he thinks about it now, if the former princess of the county refuses to let him go, not only himself, but even the Hui County Chamber of Commerce will be unlucky. "If you don't have the ability, how can you make your grandmother recognize you as a goddaughter."

Xiaobai was happy, and he was busy greeting the guests again, but at this time, Lin Wenhai was very interested, and left quietly with the group, Xiaobai didn't know when he left. She covered the door and went to the kitchen to clean up her things, ready to go to the woods.

...

That night, a heavy rain fell in Xiyue City, thunder and lightning, which broke a large tree in a dilapidated courtyard of the imperial palace, crushed half of the house, and one dirty boy was carried out of the ruins by another dirty boy.

When the people who watched him back and forth, Feng Mi knew that some people were destined not to die, and no one could stop his growth.

"Looking for it?" Changyu Yule asked softly.

"I can't find it." Feng Mi sent someone to watch, but the boy still ran away.

Changyu Youle got up and went to the window, stared at the heavy rain pouring outside, and asked, "Don't you know the emperor?" ”

"I wish he knew." Feng Mi leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes.

Changyu Youle frowned instantly, remembering what happened yesterday when the emperor took advantage of the celebration of Daughter's Day to reward the students in this big test, everyone knows that there is only one emperor in Xiyue City, that is, the eighth son of the emperor Fengmi, I didn't expect that the emperor would summon the fifth son of the emperor into the palace again.

Thinking of Feng Wu's eyes at that time, Changyu Youle couldn't help but feel cold, and the most difficult to guess was the emperor's heart, what does this mean. "It turns out that the Sang family will come up because of Feng Wu, will you go? Ten days later, the emperor held a birthday banquet for Feng Wu. ”

Feng Mi sneered and corrected Changyu Youle's title, "You shouldn't call him by his name, you should call him the Fifth Highness." ”

"Will you go to the birthday banquet of the fifth child?"

Feng Mi opened his eyes, and a smile appeared in the corner of his cold eyes, "Why don't you go, how do you know, what is he going to do, how can he know what the emperor wants to do." ”

"But you may not be able to understand it when you go. It's really irritable, there is nothing I can do to understand recently, what does the emperor think, it should be the crime of killing the head, why don't you even mention it? ”

Feng Mi knew that Changyu Youle was talking about the Sang family, but he didn't feel irritable, but he just felt that some things were getting more and more interesting, "Who said that if you didn't do something clear, wouldn't Chen Heng let us cheat us back?" ”

Changyu Yule glanced at him sideways and stopped talking.
