Early in the morning of the second day, before Cheng Ziyu went to Wang's house to ask for peace, she first went to the village where the Erfang family was located, found Fahrenheit, and forced Cheng Rui to ask about the incident more than ten years ago.

As Cheng Ziyu guessed, it was really a scam.

Hua originally refused to say it, but Cheng Ziyu had a way, and after throwing out the Hua family's way of life, Hua naturally had no choice and confided all the little secrets.

"Blame who? Blame your dad for being stupid! Since the family rules are dead, and the craft is only inherited by the long house, I used a little trick at that time to make your father lose that qualification!

So it was indeed me who found my mother to deliberately talk privately in front of him, and he was happy to eavesdrop, so we put on a good show, belittled him, and led him down the wrong path by the way.

His entourage was also bought off by us, and he was often instilled in him that only by going to business can he really be a Dacheng family, and only by earning real silver like the second master can he get the attention and favor of the old man...... Thoughts like that.

The old man's craftsmanship is at its peak, and no matter how good his skills are, the gap between him and the old man is not one or two. After a long time, his skills did not break through, so he naturally wanted to give up. And from time to time we stumbled on him, poked him in a basket, and made him less and less confident in his craft and talent, bored, disgusted, and gradually hated......

He was fooled after all. He stupidly went to the old man and proposed that he wanted to try to go to business, and the old man cultivated him as an heir, so he naturally responded. At that time, our lord offered to take your stupid daddy.

That time, we were very generous, and your father earned a few hundred taels both on the books and in private. Praise him, we praise him, the other party praises, everyone praises him, even the old man praises him, he himself is complacent, and thinks he really has a talent for business.

If you think about it, in just over half a month, it is easy to earn so much, where can his restless heart calm down and do crafts? The old man took him to see the prosperous and beautiful world again, and instantly opened up his new world, and it was normal for him to be unable to hold it for a while.

After he proposed to go to business, the old man thought that he was bored with his crafts all year round, and after persuading him several times to no avail, he said that he would always turn back when he suffered a little, so he gave him a year.

However, with our help, he earned the money, and he was still happy. Although we didn't know Liao's at that time, we knew that he had a good relationship. Speaking of which, it is also destined, he treats the Liao family as a treasure, and is naturally more determined to go into business.

The old man was very angry, and he couldn't talk to him to any avail. Do you think the old man didn't do his best? Soft and hard, I've tried them all. Useless! Coupled with our encouragement, the relationship between the father and son was actually hurt at that time.

Your father's heart is already wild. He is accustomed to spending a lot of money, he likes to spend a lot of money, he is addicted to socializing, and he is also in love with a flower of unknown origin, where can he be bored to sit at the table for several hours and fiddle with those mud?

Besides, the old man is in good health, and he hasn't reached that point yet, so with his temperament, he naturally can't look far, and it is difficult to have a long-term plan. Maybe he also thought about it, after all, the old man has three sons, two are in business, and one is unreliable, and in the end, the old man can only choose him. So he didn't care.

But he forgot that he was far worse than our lord compared to businessmen. And he didn't know that the reason why he was able to succeed before was all due to our support for him. As soon as we closed the net, he began to sink into the mud.

He planted a few heels in succession, but he insisted on not wanting to turn back. Except that he himself is unwilling and unconvinced, guess why? Because we are encouraging him, helping him, supporting him, always giving him hope, and by the way, giving him some monetary support.

In this way, the gap between him and the old man is getting bigger and bigger. The old man was disappointed in him, and he was getting more and more tired of the cold face he faced when he returned home, and he completely went astray. Slowly, he spent more and more time in business, often for half a year, and the old man finally gave up on him......"

Fahrenheit laughed, not forgetting to mention the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.

"My lord and I were very happy at the time, your father was out, and the opportunity came. Your third uncle has no intention of family business at all, and in fact, we all think that the old man has no choice. Especially your two younger brothers, who are also ...... Silly. Except for the only second child in the family, who else can he rely on? ”

The smile on Hua's face suddenly froze, and he glared at Cheng Ziyu, who was lowering his eyes.

"But who would have thought that when you were three or four years old, you liked to play with old men, you liked to pinch mud, you liked to fiddle with those tools, you didn't like jewelry and food, but you would rather face those boring clay sculptures.

Your appearance was like a spark that suddenly ignited the fire in the old man's heart. Especially your terrible and hateful talent, the damned talent that amazed the old man, came so fast and fierce, and before we even knew it, the old man took you without hesitation. ”

Cheng Ziyu remembers that when she was a child, she liked to go to the workshop to play. She likes to follow the workers, watch them sculpt, watch them paint and color on the clay embryos, and she likes to wait to see the process of turning from a mine to mud and finally becoming a wonderful craft.

The workers liked her and didn't have time to teach her, but they would give her a lot of tools and materials. She plays alone, and one play is all day. He is busy and can't control her. The talent was not long in coming.

She didn't know how to draw, she didn't have molds, but she was free to shape many gadgets with two hands. The potter burned it for her, and she learned the glazer's technique to glaze indiscriminately. Coupled with her sensitivity to color, her gadgets after leaving the kiln turned out to be unique, which attracted praise from many people.

Even several masters were impressed by her, thinking that her things were immature but had merit. Occasionally, in her spare time, she will also teach her small methods.

On the old man's birthday that year, Cheng Ziyu made a palm-slap-slap golden tiger with teeth and claws and sent it out.

The old man looked at it for a long time, but he didn't guess who it was, but it was enough to attract the old man's attention. The old man took her away and said that he would give her the most comprehensive and hand-in-hand professor......

"It was also our negligence, and we didn't think it was right at the time. I think it's just a girl, the old man hurts, can he turn the sky upside down? No matter how exquisite the craftsmanship is? Can you still be the master?

At that time, my lord and I took it lightly. But who would have thought that you could be so good that you were a blockbuster, so good that the old man broke all the impossible for you, so good that the old man taught him, so good that he was amazing to the world!

You have brought a lot of wealth to the Cheng family, so my master and I also like you very much, because you are a woman, so we are not hostile to you. On your birthday, my lord and I can also make a few hundred taels. The most unexpected variable is that more than two years ago, the old man actually announced in public at the Dou Tao Meeting that you were his inheritor and the prospective head of the Cheng family.

In front of the entire Jingxi, this matter was decided by him in this way, and we were caught off guard. On the night of the joy in your long room, do you know how sad our second room was? The plan that has been operating for more than ten years suddenly failed, and everything finally fell back into the hands of your longhouse, we are not reconciled......"

Fahrenheit wiped away tears.

"It's so unfair! Master, he worked hard for the Cheng family and supported almost all the external affairs of the Cheng family. But the old man's efforts turned a blind eye. The same bloodline, just because of the ranking, are we not worthy of being in charge? We have paid so much, but we can only be the same as the third child who has been playing for decades and only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and when the time comes, we will leave with the property we have allocated, and almost all of the huge family business will belong to your long house, why? ”

Cheng Ziyu looked at Hua's red eyes, but she couldn't feel pity.

"So, when the opportunity presented itself, you were desperate. You want to make a lot of money, if you succeed, the silver is yours, and if something happens, the pot belongs to the Cheng family. You secretly started working with the Gao family. You feel wronged, you feel unjust, because you hate, so you pass on the risk of private salt to the Cheng family, and you naturally imagined the worst outcome a long time ago.

But you have no scruples. You know what it means when things are revealed, and how many people will suffer because of you! You haven't thought about it at all, so what right do you have to cry? Are you fair to the Cheng family and the innocent? ”

"So what, we knew at the time that it would be a few years at most, and the old man would definitely mention the matter of splitting up. We must be prepared. We have done so much for the Cheng family, what happened to us when we used the Cheng family once? The Cheng family should also pay for us, right? ”

The brilliance in Fahrenheit's eyes faded.

"But we don't have a sense of revenge. The Gao family has a real salt introduction, and the truth and falsehood are adulterated, who can guess? Who will catch it? How could something happen? The silver is given for free! We nodded after repeatedly confirming that nothing would happen. And we're not greedy, we just want to do it a few times before we get out. No matter how the Cheng family treats us, we don't want anything to happen to the Cheng family. What's more, the old man has a wide road, and if something really happens, he can settle it......"

"If you are lucky, you will be unlucky!"

"Cheng Ziyu! Is that really the case? Is our misfortune really a fluke? Fahrenheit roared. Now, let me ask you, did you do the Gao family's business? ”

"It's not!" Cheng Ziyu smiled faintly. "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and the affairs of you and the Gao family are something that God can't stand to clean up. I have a clear conscience! ”

"A clear conscience? What a righteous and awe-inspiring one! ”

Fahrenheit sneered.

"You, you, you're so vicious. Your second uncle and I have been so good to you, and have never harmed you in the slightest, but you are so ruthless......"

"You seem to have forgotten about pushing me down the West Mountain that day and causing me to fall into a coma, right?"

Fahrenheit was stunned.

"Yo, I didn't expect you to know about this. Then you should also know that we didn't really mean to harm you, if we were really vicious, we would have stoned you to death at that time. ”

"Yes, it is because you spared my life, and because you have treated me badly in the past, that I did not kill you all."

"......" Fahrenheit was choked and sneered again.

"Cheng Ziyu, it's useless if you don't admit Gao Xi, the four princes have told us, it's you, it's you, it's you who designed Gao Xi.

Only then can the salt be explained by the entrainment of gunpowder. What kind of murder, assassination, stealing, you are really good at it. From the Liangjiang Yamen, the local yamen to the wharf yamen, there are your witnesses, all of whom are stunned by you, who would have thought that you, a weak victim who has never been far away, are the real masterminds! ”

"Enough! What does Zhu Changan tell you? Do you have the evidence or does he have the evidence? Does empty vernacular work? Does he dare to go to the Liangjiang Yamen to sue me, or can he go to the Holy Lord to testify against me? ”

"Yes, I am willing to gamble and lose, I am convinced. We can't make it, or maybe it's providential......"

Cheng Ziyu looked at Fahrenheit and sneered.

Can't make it? No, they did! They lived well until the end! In the last life, the second room was high, their whole family was happy and healthy, and there was a side princess, which made people talk about it. Famous, rich and powerful, a winner in life!

And the Cheng family took the blame for them, the dead died, the dead did not, and made one wedding dress after another for all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods......

In any case, when she achieved the goal of this trip, she could be regarded as figuring out the causes and consequences of her father's deviation and the ruthlessness of the second room.

She never knew that Erfang's plan for the long house started more than ten years ago. If you can't make a plan, you will come up with another plan.

Huh? Be!

Commiseration? No!

None of them were wronged......

"Girl, the master was calculated by the second room that day, do you want the master to know?" On the way back, I asked.

If he had told him, he would have come to Fahrenheit for questioning. Then it will be troublesome. If you don't let him see it, he'll think I'm lying. But if he is allowed to see it, he is not afraid of chickens and dogs, but he is afraid that there will be leakage of private salt between Fahrenheit and him.

My dad wasn't cautious enough to let him know. Besides, what if he knew that he was being calculated? Can he go back more than a decade? Will the old man still use him like he did more than ten years ago? No.

At that time, it will be even worse, we all know the cause and effect but still refuse to give him a chance, he must be more annoyed, angry and unjust. Therefore, let us not know about this! ”

……

The day was uneventful.

The first batch of terracotta plate territory maps have been completed, and the Holy One personally inspected them and was full of praise. Although only 500 copies were completed, the quality was very high. The mountains and rivers are clear, majestic but delicate.

The emperor immediately ordered someone to give a copy to the accompanying officials......

It was Wen Lan who found Cheng Ziyu in private, and directly took three silver tickets of 10,000 taels and a map of the territory of North Korea, saying that she wanted to make a pottery plate painting of her home country's territory that was one size smaller than the one she gave to the emperor before, as a birthday gift for his father. At the same time, another 500 small-scale pottery plate drawings were made for her home country.

"30,000 taels is a deposit, and I will pay the balance after completion. It only takes half a year to complete. How is it? ”

Cheng Ziyu did not respond immediately.

After all, the territory map is not ordinary goods, and she doesn't dare to take it at will. After Li Chun went to ask the emperor, she answered.

Wen Lan smiled with disgust.

"You're really boring. I'm not married yet, I'm still a North Korean princess, I'll just use my money to customize something for my family, what are you afraid of! To put it bluntly, I just want to be good friends with you, I want to get closer to you, I want to have a good relationship with you, and I want to talk to you in Beijing in the future, and I don't mean anything else. ”

Vinland is as straightforward as ever.

Cheng Ziyu smiled, but never said anything about welcoming people to come and go in the future.
