Chapter Eighty-Six: Participation in the Merchant House

After not being able to find Nalan Jin for so long, Nalan Zhen was anxious. Wave after wave of people sent out to look for it, and when they came back, they all agreed that they could not find it.

"A bunch of useless things, I really don't know what the use of Nalan Mansion raising you is?" Nalan Zhen's birthday was scolded.

Those just silently lowered their heads, after all, they were not able to do things well.

"Actually, it's good news that they can't be found, at least it proves that they are safe." Uncle Xing was relieved on the side.

"Get out, get out, it's a headache when I see you." Nalan shook his hand and made them disappear from front of them quickly.

Uncle Xing added a cup of tea to Nalan Zhen on the side, and said a lot of comforting words, which calmed down Nalan Zhen's anger a little.

"Master, master, who do you see coming back?" Lian'er shouted happily as she ran.

"Are you on your first day in the house? It's so frizzy, and there's no rules at all. Although Uncle Xing was accusing, his eyes reminded Lian'er that Nalan was angry, don't mess with him.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Xing, I was wrong." Lian'er hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

"What did you just say?" Uncle Xing then asked.

"It's Miss......" Lian'er pointed outside, and was interrupted by Nalan Zhen before she could finish speaking.

"You're embarrassed to mention Jin'er, so that you can't stand it, and you still help her lie together, see how I clean you up." Nalan Zhen looked around, looking for a good guy.

"I was wrong, old man, Miss has already returned, what are you punishing me for." Lian'er hurriedly knelt down and whispered in her ears.

"What? You said my Jin'er is back? Where is Jin'er? When Nalan Zhen heard this, he stood up and strode outside.

Uncle Xing gave Lian'er a look and asked her to get up quickly and go out with her.

As soon as Nalan Jin and Dongfang Yi arrived at the door, news immediately spread in the house. The maids and servants in various courtyards and places rushed to the front hall after hearing the news.

It's not really because I haven't seen you for a long time, and I think of Nalan Jin, so I can't wait to receive the news and come over. It's because of the news that has spread in the mansion a long time ago, everyone is interested in Nalan Jin's face.

"I heard that Miss is back?"

"I also heard that I came back with my uncle."

"Before that, it was rumored that the matter between my uncle and the young lady was ......"

"Who knows? Hurry up and take a look at the front room. ”

The jagged footsteps instantly gathered on both sides of the antechamber. Everyone waited with suspicion and surprise on their faces.

Nalan Jin felt like she was being spied on.

"Dongfang, do you think it's weird?" Nalan Jin held Dongfang Yi on his wrist.

"What are you thinking about this little head, how can it be strange." Dongfang Yi pampered Nalan Jin's head.

Nalan Jin pouted and touched her forehead, could it really be because she had been away from the house for too long, so she felt that everything was strange?

"Jin'er, you're back, let grandpa take a look,

Where have you been these days? Are there any injuries? Nalan Zhen came up and grabbed Nalan Jin and looked at it carefully.

"Grandpa, I'm fine, isn't this a good standing in front of you? I miss grandpa so much. Nalan Jin threw herself into Nalan Zhen's arms and was coquettish.

"Do you still know that grandpa is about to die of worry these days, if you don't come back, I will report to the emperor to find you." Nalan Zhen accused Nalan Jin distressedly.

"Seriously, didn't I come back?" Nalan Jin rubbed a few times.

Dongfang Yi looked at Nalan Jin's face with a smile again, and the confidence of the past shook his face again. I am also very relieved, at least I have gained something from going out this time.

The person next to him was also infected by this warm picture, and couldn't help blinking his moist eyes.

"Don't stand outside when it's windy outside, what do you have to say, Miss, my uncle is tired all the way, let them rest their feet." Mother Li reminded me.

"Yes, yes, go back and let the kitchen prepare a few of Jin'er's favorite dishes." Nalan Zhen said to Li's mother.

Li's mother immediately went to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Nalan Zhen pulled Nalan Jin back into the hall and talked for a while, and the people waiting next to him added tea several times.

"Miss, you don't know, you ran away and caused me to be punished by the old man." Lian'er walked to Nalan Jin's side and said aggrievedly.

"It's because I didn't think about it, I wronged you, how about two boxes of hibiscus cakes?" Nalan Jin took Lian'er's hand and said.

"Okay, don't deny it." The grievances on Lian'er's face instantly vanished.

"Jin'er is used to you, I can't get around you." Nalan Zhen's accusation of Lian'er, she immediately hid behind Nalan Jin in fear to seek protection.

A few people chatted enthusiastically.

Nalan Jin told Nalan Zhen all about what he had happened in the past few days, but he avoided the part where he met Zhao Wenluo, and even Dongfang Yi didn't mention it.

Nalan Wenyuan was called by the officials early in the morning. When he came back, his face was very ugly, and the people at the door greeted him, but he only said a perfunctory word.

"You all go down." When Nalan Wen came in, he called the people who were waiting on the left and right sides to retreat.

"What's going on?" Nalan Zhen saw that it was wrong to be angry, so he gave Uncle Xing next to him a look, and he immediately understood and dismissed the people in the hall.

"This is the paperwork that went to the Ministry of Officials this morning." Nalan Wenyuan took the documents he brought back to Nalan Zhen.

Nalan Zhen opened it and took a look, and the expression on his face became serious, "Salt Order? ”

"The new salt order issued by the imperial court has made the big merchants in the city respond positively, in fact, it is to help the imperial court do business and return to the country and treasury." Nalan Wenyuan couldn't help but feel sad, and took a sip of the teacup.

"This ...... What does it have to do with our house? Nalan Zhen was even more puzzled.

Nalan Jin, who stayed silent, felt that this matter was a little strange, there were many merchants in the city, so he quietly called Nalan Wenyuan to the ministry.

There must be a question in it

Title.

Dongfang Yi seemed to see Nalan Jin's concern, and silently raised his hand on the back of his hand, throwing a smile to comfort.

"It's not Jin'er yet." Nalan Wenyuan turned his head and glared at Nalan Jin viciously, "The salt policy of the imperial court before, she came up with a bad idea to let the loose salt donate, and this is why we have the title of Nalan Mansion now." ”

Nalan Wenyuan silently turned to Nalan Zhen.

"You mean the imperial court is deliberately ......," Nalan sighed.

"A title for no reason, do you think that the people in the court are stupid? Now that this new salt order has come out, we can't go to loose salt anymore, right? Nalan Wenyuan angrily threw the teacup on the table.

Nalan Wenyuan is a person who can't hold his breath when he encounters something, and he is thinking about Yanling all the way, and he is anxious.

After coming back, he saw the two people he hated who disappeared in front of him, and his heart was even more blocked.

"Then this ......" Nalan looked at Nalan Jin with embarrassed and worried eyes.

It was Nalan Jin's idea to restore the Nalan family to its former title, and it wasn't long before the hot stool was about to be taken away. Whoever it is, they are a little unwilling.

"Jin'er, what do you think about this salt order...... What do you think? Nalan Zhen asked Uncle Xing to take the paperwork to Nalan Jin.

"Since the court has issued it, our Nalan Mansion has a knighthood, and it is incumbent on us to contribute to the court." Nalan Jin was full of words.

"Grandpa understands, it's just that it's easy to say, and it's easy to do...... When the time comes, it is small to lose the trust of the imperial court, and this Nalan Mansion ......" Nalan Zhen pondered for a long time, and he didn't say everything, but what he was worried about was clear.

Nalan Jin also knew that Nalan Zhen's wish was to restore the reputation of the Nalan family, otherwise he would not have endured humiliation for so many years.

"Grandpa, rest assured, the title of the Nalan family will always be hereditary." Nalan Jin understood Nalan Zhen's concerns, and looked at him with a firm look.

Nalan Zhen shrugged his shoulders with relief and looked at Nalan Jin with a shallow smile. The two sons are incompetent, but fortunately, God has mercy and has a granddaughter who can be on her own.

Nalan Wenyuan was lazy from Nalan Zhen's eyes, and he was even more dependent on Nalan Jin, even beyond his status as a son.

"Hmph. Feel relieved? What can you rest assured? This is going to be fulfilled in the future, your daughter's family, you have a lot of money here, and when the time comes, your married daughter pats her ass and leaves, and it is the people of the Nalan family who are tired and sinned. ”

Nalan Wenyuan's word by word emphasizes that Nalan Jin is a daughter's family, no matter how capable she is now, as soon as Nalan Wenyuan closes his eyes in the future, he still has to follow Dongfang Yi, and even the entire Nalan Mansion will have the surname Dongfang.

"What do you mean by Uncle's words?" Nalan Jin raised her eyes and stared at Nalan Wenyuan.

"What do you mean, you know in your heart that Dongfang is nominally rich, but can you guarantee that his heart is really like this Nalan Mansion?" Nalan Wenyuan stood up and walked to Dongfang Yi's side and asked.

"I ......" Dongfang Yi also stood up a little angrily and retorted.

"Enough!" Nalan

He slapped the table and yelled angrily, interrupting everyone's argument.

"I have my own ideas about this matter, if you are really afraid that Jin'er and Yi'er will take away this property, you can show some skills, what's the use of being quick for a while."

Nalan Zhen raised his hand and poked Nalan Wenyuan hard, hating that iron does not become steel.

Nalan Wen is far from convinced, Nalan Zhen is now biased towards those two people, he used to be just Nalan Jin, and now even Dongfang Yi is distressed.

This made Nalan Zhen's heart even more unbalanced.

"Master, you're back, take a look at your son." Li hugged the child and came to Nalan Wenyuan.

"What do you see, what is the use of a big child, he can do business, or he can snatch the property of Nalan Mansion, and it is the same whether he has a child or not." Nalan Wenyuan pushed Li away, and the child was frightened, and he cried loudly.

The Li family didn't coax it for a long time, and the child's noise made Nalan Wenyuan's irritable heart even more angry. She had no choice but to ask the nurse next to her to carry the baby down.

"What happened to you, sir, to make you so unhappy?" Li Shi softly helped Nalan Wenyuan squeeze his shoulders beside him.

"The imperial court salt order came down, and the old man asked Nalan Jin to be responsible, but he obviously didn't take me seriously." Nalan Wenyuan let out a long sigh.

"This thing...... I have a way. Lee patted his chest.
