If you are a local old man in Jinling, you should still remember the magnificent marriage between the Zhang family and the Xiao family thirty years ago.

One is the largest family in Jiang State, and the other is the richest man in Jiangnan.

One is the most powerful family in Jiang Guo, and the other is the richest family in Jiangnan.

One is the nephew of the previous Prime Minister Zhang, and the other is the pearl of Master Xiao.

The marriage of the most powerful and the richest, one can imagine how striking that marriage was.

According to those old people, the dowry of the Xiao family alone is a full twenty cars!

What gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, jade gems, pearls of the South China Sea, antique paintings, there are many rare treasures that people have not seen, and their total value is difficult to estimate.

And the Zhang family also attaches great importance to this wedding, and the banquet is open for 200 tables, whether it is the emperor's relatives, dignitaries, and businessmen, they all gather in the capital to participate in the wedding banquet, and the whole wedding banquet was held for three days in the form of a flowing water banquet!

After Xiao Shulan arrived at Zhang's house, she raised her eyebrows with her husband, gave birth to two sons and two daughters one after another, and firmly sat in the position of the housewife.

After the death of Master Xiao, his son Xiao Mingli inherited the family business, he was quite business-minded, and the Xiao family's industry developed and expanded, reaching an unprecedented grand occasion.

With her brother behind her back, coupled with the credit for giving birth to two sons, Xiao Shulan is full of confidence in her in-law's family, not only her in-laws are very good to her, but her husband Zhang Huaize also respects her very much.

Unconsciously, thirty years have passed, and she has been pampered for a long time, and the slender rich lady at the beginning is now a little rich, and because she has been presiding over family affairs for a long time, her rich face has a majestic momentum.

When she saw Xiao Junyan, the only nephew, Xiao Shulan was very excited, she hadn't returned to the province for four or five years, and seeing him inevitably aroused her homesickness.

She got up and grabbed Xiao Junyan's hand and asked, "Yan'er, when did you come to the capital, why didn't you tell your aunt in advance?"

Xiao Junyan was holding his hand, feeling very uncomfortable, although it was his aunt, the two of them had the same blood on their bodies, but they had never met a few times in total, so he was still a little unaccustomed to his aunt's enthusiasm, but he couldn't bear to refute her face, so he had to let her pull it in embarrassment.

Xiao Junyan lied: "I only arrived in the capital in the past two days, and as soon as I am free, I will come to see my aunt."

Xiao Shulan said enthusiastically: "When you get here, it's like going to your own home, so I'll order someone to prepare a room for you."

Xiao Junyan saw that her aunt was going to call the maid, so she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Auntie doesn't have to be busy, I already have a place to stay, it's very good, so I won't bother my aunt."

When Xiao Shulan heard this, she said angrily: "What did Yan'er say, I am your aunt, if you don't come to the capital to join your aunt, who else can you go to?" No matter how good it is outside, can it compare to my aunt here? ”

In the face of his aunt's enthusiasm, Xiao Junyan was a little overwhelmed, he guessed that this would be the result, so after coming to the capital, he never thought about living with her at all, if it wasn't for Wanying, he wouldn't have exposed himself too early, let his aunt know that he came to the capital, what he was afraid of was the current situation, but now it seems that his aunt still doesn't know about him using his uncle's name to scare people.

Also, if my aunt knows that she has come to the capital, she will definitely tell her father, and when the time comes, my father will definitely let my aunt discipline and restrain him, then he will not be free in the future.

If Jiang Yichen hadn't threatened him yesterday, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to Zhangfu if he was killed, although the paper couldn't contain the fire, but it could be delayed for a day, and it was better to send it to the door now!

But now that the arrow is on the string, he has to send it, after thinking about it, he squeezed out a big smile and said: "My aunt cares about Yan'er, Yan'er knows, but Yan'er is now living in a friend's house, if she moves to Zhangfu now, how will my friend feel, don't you think that I Xiao Junyan dislikes his family?"

Xiao Shulan thought for a while and said, "Since Yan'er insists, then my aunt won't force it, but there is one thing, if there is any difficulty, I must come to tell my aunt."

"Yes, auntie."

After the two sat down, the maid served tea, and Xiao Shulan asked, "Are your father and mother okay?"

Xiao Junyan smiled: "The two of them are very good, aunt don't worry."

Hearing him say this, Xiao Shulan smiled comfortably, "In this way, then I can rest assured, I haven't seen my brother and sister-in-law for four or five years, and I always say that I will go back when I have time in the past few years, but the affairs in the house are busy, so I will be delayed." ”

Xiao Junyan comforted: "As long as my aunt is doing well, my father and mother will be at ease."

"Yes, when I was a child, except for my grandfather, it was your father who loved me." Xiao Shulan said, evoking memories of her childhood, and she missed it very much.

"By the way, Yan'er, I haven't written home for half a year, are you engaged now?"

Xiao Junyan was most afraid that she would ask this question, he knew that he couldn't be fooled, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Not yet."

As soon as she heard this, Xiao Shulan's expression became anxious: "Yan'er, you are also twenty-six years old now, and your two cousins have been married for many years when they were your age, although you played hard a few years ago and didn't want to be bound early, your aunt also understands, now, you should always think about it, right?"

Xiao Junyan didn't know how to answer, so he had to scratch his head in embarrassment.

Xiao Shulan continued: "I used to correspond with your father, he was always anxious about your marriage, he said how many women from the family, famous ladies took the initiative to ask someone to come to the door to talk to the matchmaker, you didn't agree, seeing that he was getting older day by day, the Xiao family's family business was going to be passed on to you in the future, but you have never been married, and you have not let him hold his grandson until now, and he can't sleep every night."

Xiao Junyan thought, is it so exaggerated? Alarmist!

Xiao Shulan didn't care whether he answered or not, and then said: "If you can't look down on the girl before, then my aunt will find you in the capital, whether it is a young lady from an official eunuch's family, or a lady from a giant businessman, or even a princess or a county lord, as long as you can see it, my aunt can tell you about this family business!"

Xiao Junyan believed what his aunt said, no matter who married him, he would have the two connections of the Zhang family and the Xiao family, unless that person was indifferent to fame and fortune and did not scarce their power and wealth.

Xiao Shulan saw that he didn't speak, and said: "If you don't speak, I'll take your consent, and in the next few days, I will let people draw the portraits of all the families in the capital for you to choose from, until you are satisfied!"

Xiao Junyan secretly said in his heart, this is too exaggerated, it's not the emperor's draft, as for such a big move?

He was about to refuse, but Xiao Shulan asked him again: "Have you come to see your uncle?"

Seeing his aunt ask, Xiao Junyan remembered that he hadn't done anything yet, and said, "No, I asked people when I came just now, and they said that my uncle went to the prime minister."

"The eldest brother was reprimanded in public by His Majesty in the court a few days ago, and your uncle may have gone to discuss countermeasures."

"Oh, then I'll wait."

The two sat together and talked a lot about their hometown, and the more they talked, the more homesick Xiao Shulan became. After a stick of incense, the next person reported that the master was back and went to the study, so Xiao Junyan said goodbye to his aunt for the time being and was taken to the study by the next person.

When he arrived at the door of the study, Xiao Junyan saw Zhang Huaize with a solemn face, pacing back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, and when he saw Xiao Junyan coming in, he put away his worries and changed his face as an elder.

Xiao Junyan saluted him and said, "Junyan has seen my uncle."

Zhang Huaize nodded and motioned for him to sit down, and after serving tea, he took a sip and asked, "When did you come?"

"It didn't take long."

Zhang Huaize asked again: "I heard that you arrived a few days ago?"

Xiao Junyan knew that his Yi Lanxuan was under the name of Zhang Huaize, and he must have known it a long time ago, so he was not prepared to hide it, and said truthfully: "Jun Yan should have come to see his uncle earlier, and I hope my uncle will not blame him."

Zhang Huaize looked at the merry boy in front of him who held the wealth of the country, and had a calculation in his heart, of course he would not blame him. The dowry that the woman brought with her when she married him was a little surprising even though he was in a high position and had seen the world.

What's more, it is all the property of the Xiao family, it will be an unimaginable number, in terms of affection, he is his own uncle, and in terms of interests, he may still use this nephew in the future, so not only will he not blame him, but he will also have a good relationship with him.

Xiao Junyan used his name to scare others, he already knew that he owed himself a favor if he took other people's hands short and ate other people's soft mouths, if he used him in the future, he would probably not refuse.

Thinking of this, he put on a loving face and said, "I am your own uncle, how can I blame you?"

Xiao Junyan noticed that Zhang Huaize's expression was very rich just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but sigh, it wasn't his own family after all, when his aunt saw him just now, he really had only kindness in his heart.

"Thank you Uncle for your generosity."
