Chapter 66: The Sun Family's Thoughts
"This is my meeting for the two girls, who made me like the two girls as soon as I see them? It's just a little bit of my heart as an elder, don't think I'm vulgar! ”
This made the Liu family unable to refuse, otherwise they would be disgusted that the Sun family was a merchant, so the Liu family said: "Since it is Mrs. Sun's heart, you can accept it." ”
Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying responded: "Yes." Only then did he take the purse and give a gift.
Mrs. Sun smiled and led the way for the three of them and walked into the garden.
The Zhuangzi of the Sun family is very exquisite, almost a scene in a hundred steps, each with its own merits, revealing an elegant luxury everywhere, worthy of being the richest man in Dengzhou.
Chen Wanying looked at it, and her eyes couldn't help but flicker.
When they were halfway there, they saw a dignified-looking young man walk out.
"Mother! This is ......" Sun Jingze looked at Liu.
Mrs. Sun explained with a smile: "This is Second Mrs. Zhao, this is Miss Zhao, Miss Chen. ”
When Zhao Siyan saw that it was a foreign man, she had already lowered her gaze, and did not look at Sun Jingze, but Chen Wanying, quietly raised her head and glanced at Sun Jingze, and hurriedly lowered her head, looking shy and shy.
Sun Jingze's gaze flashed over Chen Wanying's body, his eyes flashed, and he naturally saw Chen Wanying's shy gaze just now.
Mrs. Sun smiled and said: "This is a dog, learning to do things by his father's side, and he is very useless!" ”
Liu Shi said with a smile: "Ling Gongzi is a talent, dignified, Mrs. Sun said this, I don't follow it, I am not satisfied with such an outstanding son?" ”
The smile in Mrs. Sun's eyes was even brighter, and there was no one who didn't like people to praise their son.
"Sun Gongzi." Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying saluted, and Zhao Siyan retreated behind the Liu family without looking at Sun Jingze.
Chen Wanying lowered her head, looking like a small jasper, as if she was very shy.
Mrs. Sun's eyes flashed over Chen Wanying and Zhao Siyan, and she felt a little more careful.
"Okay, okay, go talk to your classmates." Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
Sun Jingze nodded, his gaze paused on Chen Wanying's body, and then turned to leave.
Mrs. Sun settled the three of them, and then said apologetically: "Second wife, there are still a few ladies who said that they want to come, I have to go to greet them, and the hospitality is not good, so take care of them!" ”
Liu nodded slightly: "Although Mrs. Sun is busy, it won't get in the way." ”
Mrs. Sun smiled gently at Zhao Siyan and Chen Wanying again, and then took her mother-in-law's hand and left.
Chen Wanying looked at the Liu family in confusion: "Second aunt, the Sun family is holding such a big flower party, why is Mrs. Sun busy?" Didn't see the young grandmother to help? ”
"There is only one eldest young master in this Sun family, that is, Sun Jingze, who has not yet married, and the Sun family is married to concubines, and the identity of the concubines and daughters-in-law is a little worse, so they did not come out to entertain guests, although this Sun family is a merchant family, the etiquette is good." Liu said, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly approvingly.
Chen Wanying's eyes couldn't help but be thoughtful, Zhao Siyan couldn't help but feel a little helpless when she saw her appearance, this won't be, this won't be that she has fallen in love with Sun Jingze again, right?
What is the matter with this attribute of seeing one love one? And in the past, Chen Wanying took a fancy to Li Junze and Gu Chenfeng and others, both of whom were from prominent backgrounds, although Sun Jingze was rich and noble, his status was much worse.
Zhao Siyan sighed helplessly, but in her selfish heart, she didn't want Chen Wanying to have anything to do with the Sun family, since Li Junze had already decided to use the Sun family, with Chen Wanying's ability to toss, it would not be a good thing to marry the Sun family again.
Chen Wanying suddenly realized, she sat beside the Liu family, and said obediently: "The second aunt knows so much," after a pause, she said with a sigh: "Speaking of which, the Sun family is also strange, the concubines are all married, and it is really strange not to set a marriage for the eldest son." ”
"The Sun family has always paid attention to the distinction between the eldest and the youngster, and the eldest daughter-in-law naturally has to be selected well, and the Sun family will be inherited by the eldest young master of the Sun family in the future." Liu said.
Probably because the more you lack something, the more you pay attention to something, because the Sun family is a merchant, they are afraid of being said to have no rules and no background, so they regard the rules and etiquette as more important than anything else, and there is absolutely no such thing as spoiling a concubine and killing a wife, and there are strict regulations, and only the eldest son can inherit the family business.
"So over the years, Master Sun has only taken the eldest young master of the Sun family with him and trained him personally, and the other concubines, even if they have some talents, will also deliberately suppress them, so as not to threaten the status of the eldest son." Ryu continued.
When Chen Wanying heard this, she couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.
The rule of the Sun family is an absolute guarantee of the status of the eldest family.
As soon as Liu's voice fell, several ladies came to talk to Liu, and they were very popular with Liu.
This made the Liu family a little flattered, because she was born in a family of military generals, and married a military general, on weekdays, this kind of banquet, there are very few people who take the initiative to talk to her, but I didn't expect so many people to talk to her today, and people were a little busy for a while, but fortunately, Zhao Siyan was on the side to help her, but it didn't seem to be in a hurry.
"This must be Ling Yan, I heard that I also made up an ancient painting to celebrate my grandmother's birthday? What a filial and talented girl. ”
"You've won a prize." Liu said with some reserve.
Zhao Siyan smiled slightly shyly, but he stood by Liu's side generously, protecting his mother, which fell in the eyes of the ladies, and his impression of Zhao Siyan was much better, and he began to plan in his heart.
"Such a good girl, I don't know if I'm married?" A straightforward lady asked directly.
Because they are all female dependents present, this is not rude, Zhao Siyan's cheeks were slightly red, she didn't feel shy, she just felt helpless, she had lived two lives, she was obviously immune to these problems, but she still had to pretend to be shy, she was really under a lot of pressure.
Liu replied with a smile: "Not yet, she is still young, and she still wants to keep her for two years." ”
All the ladies nodded one after another, "If I have such a caring and beautiful daughter, I am reluctant to marry her!" ”
Chen Wanying fell aside, she seemed a little cold, a touch of gloom flashed in her eyes, she didn't want to see the Liu family and the ladies fighting hotly, so she quietly tugged at the sleeve of the Liu family: "Second aunt, I want to go and change clothes." ”
Liu glanced at the ladies, she was inconvenient to leave at this time, and she was not worried about Chen Wanying alone, so she said, "Let Xi'er serve you." ”
"No need for the second aunt, the second aunt can't leave anyone around me, I'll just let Xuemei go with me, and there are so many maids and women in this garden, just ask, the second aunt doesn't have to worry." Chen Wanying said, and left with Xuemei.
Liu has always been a soft person, so naturally he didn't stop her, and watched her leave.
Chen Wanying took Xuemei and walked out, and Xuemei couldn't help but wonder: "Miss, why are we leaving?" Aren't we here to get to know more ladies? ”
Let the ladies find out that their young lady is good, so that it will be beneficial to her family.
Chen Wanying sighed softly: "They can't see it, why do you think they all look at the second aunt with admiration?" Isn't it for the sake of the prince? The prince came to attend his grandfather's birthday banquet, who doesn't know Dengzhou? Now the second aunt's worth has naturally risen. ”
In the end, she is just a niece, not a daughter, besides, there is Zhao Siyan on the side, if she can compare to Zhao Siyan, forget it, but she can't suppress Zhao Siyan, so she naturally became a foil, she didn't want to, so she found an excuse to come out.
Chen Wanying really hates in her heart, why is she no worse than others, her appearance and talent, where is she inferior to others? But just because her father died, and her mother was a person she couldn't count on, so no one planned for her? Let her be alone.
Chen Wanying walked and walked to the corner of Merlin, there was no one around, Xuemei was a little worried, but looking at her unswerving face, she didn't dare to say anything to remind.
The more Chen Wanying thought about it, the more she felt that she was the most pitiful person in this world, no one pitied and loved, and she wasted her appearance and talent in vain.
Thinking of this, Chen Wanying couldn't help but sigh faintly: "This world is so big, is there no place for me?" ”
"Why did the girl say that? The girl is blue-hearted, how can there be no place for her? Suddenly, a male voice spoke, and there was tenderness in his voice.
It was Sun Jingze who I had just met.
Chen Wanying turned around a little frightened, and when she saw Sun Jingze, a look of panic flashed on her face, like a frightened rabbit, a little more helpless and weak.
Sun Jingze instinctively slowed down his voice: "Don't be afraid, it's me, I just passed by here and saw the girl, I didn't mean to offend." ”
Chen Wanying's face was slightly red, her head was lowered, and her voice was delicate: "Sun Gongzi is polite, I shouldn't have come here." ”
Sun Jingye's gaze fell on her face, her eyes were full of pity, Chen Wanying met his gaze, her cheeks were like red plums, and her beautiful little face added a bit of beauty.
The people of the Zhao family are all good-looking, and Chen Wanying's appearance is also excellent, no wonder Chen Wanying feels unfair to her fate, but any good-looking girl is inevitably arrogant.
Chen Wanying lowered her head and said softly: "I, I should go back, otherwise the second aunt will be worried, and Sun Gongzi will take care of himself." With that, she bowed softly, turned and hurried away.
It is very in line with the shy and shy appearance of a lady, but Chen Wanying's footsteps were in a hurry, and she inadvertently scraped the plum branch, and a silk handkerchief scraped on the treetops.
Sun Jingze saw it, walked over and took off the silk handkerchief, and wanted to call her, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't speak, he looked down at the silk handkerchief, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, a faint elegant fragrance came to his nose, and he gently hooked the corners of his lips.
Sun Jingze thought for a while, turned around and walked in the direction of the study.
Sun Fugui is in the study, since the last incident, Li Junze has attacked the Sun family fiercely, causing the Sun family to lose a lot of grain and grass, not to mention, and also lose face, the entire Sun family is like being stripped of a layer of skin, Sun Fugui has also consumed a lot of energy for this matter, and he has lost his previous calmness.
The only thing that remains unchanged is that the body shape is still the same as before.
"Have you gone to see it? The Zhao family is also here? Sun Fugui asked lightly.
Sun Jingze nodded: "The second wife and the two girls came together." ”
Sun Fugui nodded, and sighed with relief: "It's good to come, it's good to come, as long as you come, it means that there is room for friendship." ”
Sun Jingze said: "Dad, do we really want to befriend the Zhao family?" Then the He family's ......"
Sun Fugui sneered: "I can see it, no matter how downtrodden the Yiwang Mansion is, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, not to mention our Sun family, even He Qingshan is afraid that it will be difficult to protect himself." ”
"But there is still ...... behind the He family" Sun Jingze pointed to it and was glared at by Sun Fugui.
Sun Fugui thought for a while, and then said: "Even if there is someone behind him, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, that person may not be able to shake the Yiwang Mansion, and the far water can't quench the thirst of the near, otherwise He Qingshan will not be put together this time, and if he is following He Qingshan and the prince to do it right, our Sun family will not have a good end, and at that time, the people behind him will not save our Sun family!" ”
Sun Fugui is worthy of being able to achieve the status of the richest man today from a commoner, he still has a bit of vision, he knows that he and He Qingshan are just little minions, He Qingshan has always been loyal to the people behind him, presumably there will be great changes in the future, but this time is too long, I am afraid that if I can't wait for that person to eradicate Yiwangfu, he will be destroyed by Li Junze.
And the people behind it are unlikely to come forward to protect He Qingshan.
The person He Qingshan is loyal to, no matter how powerful he is, he can't control Dengzhou, but Li Junze can control the life and death of the entire Sun family.
This is the so-called county official is not as good as the current management, even if Sun Fugui knows, Li Junze's boat may not be strong, but he has no choice, now Li Junze has handed over an olive branch, if he doesn't continue, the Sun family is afraid that it will be destroyed immediately.
Sun Jingze nodded, and he looked at Sun Fugui tentatively: "What does my father mean that my family affairs have decided on the girl of the Zhao family?" ”
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the silk handkerchief in his arms, could Chen Wanying also be regarded as a girl of the Zhao family?
Sun Fugui groaned slightly, and finally nodded: "The prince has never shown a different view of others in Dengzhou, only Zhao Tingshan, it seems that he values Zhao Tingshan very much." ”
Sun Jingze thought for a while: "But Gu Chenfeng, the eldest grandson of the Gu family, is now also serving the prince, and the Gu family is related to the Zhao family, could it be because of this?" ”
Sun Fugui thought for a while and shook his head: "I'm afraid that's not the case, when the prince arrived in Dengzhou, only Zhao Tingshan was summoned among the many generals, Gu Chenfeng is still in the future, I heard that Gu Chenfeng can get the blue eyes of the prince, and it is also because of Zhao Tingshan's operation in it," After a pause, he raised his head: "No matter what, it is absolutely right to be good friends with the Zhao family!" ”
Sun Fugui was able to make friends with He Qingshan before, but He Qingshan was not reliable, in comparison, Zhao Tingshan was much more reliable than He Qingshan.
As for his in-laws relationship with He Qingshan, Sun Fugui said calmly that he was just a concubine, nothing more.
Sun Jingze thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Daddy, which girl are you going to choose?" ”
Sun Fugui groaned for a while, touched his fat chin, and then said: "This most satisfactory candidate is naturally Zhao Tingshan's only daughter, I heard that this woman is quite talented, and she is favored by Zhao Tingshan." ”
Sun Jingze frowned faintly, Sun Fugui keenly noticed his abnormality, and couldn't help but glance at him: "You don't want to marry Zhao Siyan?" ”
"No, it's all up to my father!" Sun Jingze decisively denied: "It's just that now Zhao Tingshan is valued by the prince, and there are many people who are eyeing Zhao Siyan." ”
Sun Fugui nodded, "There are only two girls in the Zhao family, the girls in the big house don't have to think about it, the Zhao family will not agree, Zhao Siyan ...... My father always felt that he was not a good candidate, and there was also a cousin of the Zhao family," after a pause, he frowned: "It's just that the Zhao family's cousin is separated by a layer, I'm afraid the relationship is not so close." ”
Sun Fugui also wanted to marry his daughter, but the Zhao family was the only man of the right age, Zhao Wenyu, and the Zhao family could not agree to the eldest young master of the Zhao family to marry the daughter of a merchant no matter what, and even Sun Fugui himself could not let his son marry the daughter of a merchant.
Sun Jingze's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but say eagerly: "Not necessarily, I heard that this Miss Cousin is very favored by Mrs. Zhao, and I heard that Zhao Tingshan also pities this niece very much, this time the second wife also took her out of the house, and the Zhao family still attaches importance to this Miss Cousin." ”
Sun Fugui glanced at him, and couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips: "It seems that my son likes this Chen Wanying very much." ”
Sun Jingze couldn't help but panic: "Dad, I don't have ......"
"It's okay, you have also reached the age of liking women, but you have to remember that you are the eldest son of the Sun family, and you will inherit the family business of the Sun family in the future, and you must not indulge in the love of children!" Sun Fugui warned.
Sun Jingze nodded solemnly: "Dad, I understand, my son will never be like this!" ”
Sun Fugui nodded with satisfaction, his son was taught by him, and he still has a number.
Sun Fugui sighed: "But I heard that there are some rumors about this Chen Wanying, I heard that she once caused the prince to lose her temper because of her longing for the prince, and the Zhao family also disposed of a group of subordinates because of this." ”
Sun Jingze's brows suddenly furrowed: "Dad, it's just some rumors chasing the wind and shadows, are these rumors still less every year?" ”
When Sun Fugui heard this, he looked at his son and said: "In this way, only this Chen Wanying is the most suitable, although her status is lower, and she has no father, but who makes my son like it, just her, and after the New Year, my father will let your mother send someone to propose marriage!" ”
Thinking of the delicate and beautiful woman in the plum forest, Sun Jingze's eyes flashed with eagerness, and he had a little smile on his face: "Yes!" Thank you Dad! After a pause, he did hesitate: "I heard that Mrs. Zhao loves this granddaughter very much, will the Zhao family be unwilling?" ”
Sun Fugui showed a sneer on his face: "It's not a girl from the Zhao family, an orphan girl without a father, the Zhao family still dares to be so big, then it is too much to look at our Sun family!" ”
Sun Jingze nodded, and then did not speak, he believed that Sun Fugui, as long as he wanted to do something, there was nothing that could not be done.
