Chapter 46: Relatives
Old Man Shen's instructions made Shen Wenfeng tremble instinctively.
Although Cui'er's girl was not sent by him to Liu Qingxin's side to do things, it was his concubine who bought her back.
Before, Old Man Shen was furious and ordered his concubine to be beaten half to death, and he was also implicated, fined for three months, and copied the house rules a hundred times.
According to the rules of the Shen family, all those in charge of the business can get a reward from the business income.
For him, a three-month salary is not a huge income, and he can copy the family rules......
After copying it, stand in the main hall and read it.
From autumn to winter, one time earlier, one time later, for fifty days, like a fool, he let the children of the family watch it a hundred times!
He didn't want to go through such a humiliating thing again!
"Father thinks twice."
Shen Wenfeng didn't dare to refuse Old Man Shen bluntly.
He hesitated slightly, and finally decided to kick this matter to Shen Wenlei's wife.
"The one who married his daughter is the third brother and younger sibling."
"I, the eldest brother, help me prepare from the side, and I am more than I can overstep, how can I take the lead, and even take care of the selection of maids and servants?"
"I thought it was ......"
"Let you prepare, you prepare!"
"Where is all this nonsense!"
"When I'm old, I can't see what you're thinking!"
Before Shen Wenfeng could finish speaking, Old Man Shen picked up a ruler from the bookcase and threw it at him.
Shen Wenfeng didn't dare to hide.
The ruler made of sterling silver drew an arc in mid-air, and with a "bell" sound, it smashed in front of Shen Wenfeng.
"Smell the wind, don't dare to ...... when you smell the wind"
Shen Wenfeng didn't expect that his extremely cautious refusal would provoke such a terrible anger from Old Man Shen.
However, words are like water, and it is difficult to collect them.
Even if he has thousands of regrets at this time, it is too late.
"You're the firstborn."
"One day, I want to take over the power of the Shen family in my own hands."
"If you refuse to do everything because you are afraid of taking responsibility, how can you afford the heavy responsibility of the head of the Shen family in the future?"
Old Man Shen took a deep breath, put down the cigarette pouch in his hand, slowly got up, and walked out from behind the bookcase.
Shen Wenfeng is his first son, and he has devoted his life to him.
However, things are not always as good as they should be.
This son, whom he had been looking forward to all his life, did not grow into a man who could give him confidence in the Shen family's family business as he wished.
"You're not confused."
"I, too, will be in the past."
"You still want me as a father, how long will you be able to grow into a head of the Shen family, standing up to the sky and the earth, and the mountain collapses in front of you, and does not change color?"
Walking slowly, approaching Shen Wenfeng, Old Man Shen shook his head, stretched out his left hand, and patted him on the shoulder with a helpless face.
Hands, very light.
fell on Shen Wenfeng's shoulder, but it made him feel that there was a lot of weight.
He always thought that he was a son who was not valued by his father and was not favored by his father.
Unexpectedly, it was he who had been living up to his father's expectations.
"Smell the wind, know it's wrong."
Shen Wenfeng's voice was choked with a hint of choking.
His eyes were also faintly red.
But he didn't cry, or rather, he tried his best to contain it, and he didn't let the tears slip from his eyes.
"Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, and good is great."
"Show me the details of the dowry before tomorrow evening."
Old Man Shen didn't look back.
Unhurriedly, he paced to the door, opened the door, and walked out of the study.
……
The town, the good doctor's workshop.
Liu Qingxin sliced the dendrobium that he had received the day before overnight.
Then, he put the slices into an oiled paper packet, stuffed the oiled paper packet into a half-foot square embroidered cloth bag, and handed it to Shen Hongxue, who was about to set off.
"I'll give it to my grandfather."
For the old man who had never met but regarded her as a treasure, Liu Qingxin felt guilty.
She was just a lonely soul who occupied his granddaughter's body, but she was so blessed by him, so fulfilled at any cost.
If she could, she hoped to use what she had learned in her life to add to his life's life.
"Substitute tea, three tablets a day."
"It can prolong life."
Giving this rare medicinal material to others, Liu Qingxin did not show the slightest distressed look.
She is a kind person, and she is never stingy with those who are kind to her.
Liu Qingxin's sudden generosity made Shen Hongxue stunned slightly.
The Shen family has never been involved in the medicinal herb business.
But if he doesn't mix his hands, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the rarity of this dendrobium.
"This ...... It's not suitable......"
When he came, he brought a carriage of "New Year's money" for Liu Qingxin, but the cart full of silk and satin, all kinds of things combined, could not compare to the value of this dendrobium.
"This is what I did with my own ability, and I got it from a fool!"
"What's wrong with me taking what I got and honoring my own grandfather!"
Liu Qingxin knew what Shen Hongxue was thinking.
The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he did not shy away from calling the Li family "fool".
She didn't want Shen Hongxue to be under pressure, and she didn't want Old Man Shen to be burdened when using these medicinal materials.
"Besides, with the new business you discussed with Ling Jun as the foundation, it's not good to say, after a while, there will be a large group of fools to give gifts."
"Dendrobium officinalis, something that can be bought if you are willing to spend money, is not like those thousands of years of ginseng Ganoderma lucidum, which needs to be touched by chance."
"If my grandfather refuses to take it obediently, you tell him that if he doesn't eat it, in the future, I don't need to send you to send me New Year's money, and I won't accept it!"
These days, Liu Qingxin's mind has been pouring out some memories of the original owner of this body.
In my memory, there was a kind old man who always liked to lift her as a child above her head, always brought her beaded flowers and delicacies when she returned from a long trip, and always quietly drove others away, took off her coat, and covered her when she fell asleep on the bookcase of the private school.
She called the old man "grandpa", and the old man called her "light-hearted girl".
With that old man, she can mess around, she can be coquettish and willful, and she can use the sentence "I don't want to" to refuse all requests, regardless of the reason.
She couldn't figure out why an old man who was so pampered by the original owner of her body would be willing to marry her to Ningxia.
She wanted to find out what happened, but apart from this old man, the memory of the original owner of this body was like a fog, and no matter how she investigated, there was no way to know.
So, she decided not to tell anyone about it, she "remembered" a certain past.
She wants to use her own eyes to examine and discern.
In the Shen family, where was she placed?
And, the Shen family, what kind of attitude is it worth her!
"Okay."
"I'll bring it back for you."
Shen Hongxue hesitated slightly.
His gaze tossed and turned on Liu Qingxin's face for a long time before slowly moving away.
Yu Li, Liu Qingxin, who can't remember the past, shouldn't have such confidence to "coerce" Old Man Shen, but if she remembers the past, how can she have such an attitude towards him?
Although, in the matter of her marrying Ningxia, his attitude and approach did disappoint her, but even if it was ......
He would rather she hate him and resent him, even if she wanted to skin him and cramp him and break his body into thousands of pieces, it would be much more comfortable than now, only treating him as a relative.
"Pinching the day, the bride price is almost here."
"You go back and ask Old Man Shen whether the place of picking up relatives is set in Zhouzhuang or Yanjing."
Shen Hongxue's entanglement made Ling Jun's heart feel refreshed.
He stepped forward with a smile, wrapped Liu Qingxin into his arms, and raised his eyebrows like a demonstrative, towards Lingjun.
This is his wife, no one wants to rob him.
"If there is no accident, it should be Yanjing."
"This road has never been walked through the royal chariot, the road is long and dangerous, difficult to protect, and there are no coveters."
Ling Jun's "presumptuousness" caused him a slap in the face of Shen Hongxue.
But this time, Shen Hongxue didn't say it explicitly, asked him to pay attention to his words and deeds, and before the wedding, he kept a polite distance from Liu Qingxin.
The Shen family does not have much business in Yanjing.
But with the Shen family's financial resources, it should not be difficult to buy a house in Yanjing and prepare for Liu Qingxin's marriage.
According to the royal rules, the chariot of the concubine is not allowed to stop.
He was reluctant to let Liu lightly suffer thousands of miles of bumps, took a chariot out of the old house of the Shen family in Zhouzhuang, and went to Yanjing without resting all the way.
I'm also afraid that I can't help it, I don't care about anything, and I grab my relatives halfway.
"Yanjing is the best, Zhouzhuang, it doesn't hurt."
"As long as Old Man Shen has something to say, at the ends of the earth, I will also pick up my lady and go home."
"There is nothing to be afraid of bandits and robbers."
For Ling Jun, a favorite wife maniac, what kind of thing are the rules?
Rules that will make his wife suffer?
Ruined is!
Anyway, he has already been "notorious" far and wide, and it is not a big deal if a few more people point out and condemn it!
"It's just, the Liu family's side ......"
Lingjun has no good impression of his genuine father-in-law.
Not to mention, he insisted on going his own way and married Liu Qingxin to Ningxia.
Just his attitude towards the fact that he favored his concubine and killed his wife, and almost killed Liu Qingxin, was enough to make Ling Jun classify him into the "hostile" camp.
If it weren't for the fact that Liu Qingxin's mother and younger brother were forced to die, trying their best to prevent Liu Qingxin's father from continuing to communicate with the Bi family, with Ling Jun's temper, the Liu family at this time would have already disappeared.
The Liu family is not like the Shen family.
As far as Ling Jun is concerned, it is not much more difficult to destroy an ordinary merchant family that is only classified as a fourth-class and has no protection from the scholar clan than pinching a small worm to death.
"The Shen family marries a daughter, what does it have to do with the Liu family!"
Shen Hongxue was also dissatisfied with Liu Cunzhi and Liu's light-hearted father.
Back then, if it weren't for Liu Cunzhi's insistence on going his own way, he had to fulfill the paper marriage contract and marry Liu lightly, at this time, she was afraid that even the second child would have been born to him, where would there be anything to Ling Jun!
But there is no such thing as a if.
Some things, missed, are missed.
After expressing his attitude, he saw that Ling Jun still had no intention of handing over the reins to him and sending him away.
Shen Hongxue was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then realized that Ling Jun mentioned the real reason of the Liu family to herself.
"If you wish, I can consult with my grandfather and take my mother, who is light, and my younger brother to Yanjing to watch the ceremony."
"Everyone knows that she was brutalized and fled by Bi Chengen."
"But I know that she was found, but only the main house of the Shen family is the three veins."
"Her mother is the daughter of a foreign marriage, and before, she didn't fulfill her responsibility to persuade Liu Cunzhi, and her grandfather was still angry with her, so he couldn't tell her, so he found it lightly."
Approaching Ling Jun, Shen Hongxue deliberately lowered her voice to the extent that only the three of them could hear it.
He had no intention of concealing Liu Qingxin, but the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the more secure Liu Qingxin's safety would be.
There is a saying that people's hearts are separated from their bellies, who knows, the subordinates who swore allegiance today will sell Liu Qingxin's master for money tomorrow for their own selfish interests?
Before, there had already been such a scene as Cui'er, and Shen Hongxue didn't want to give anyone another chance to put Liu Qingxin in danger.
"I heard that after the accident, her mother washed her face with tears every day."
"Her younger brother ran away from home, ran to southern Xinjiang alone, defected to your second uncle, vowed to join the army, and hoped that in the future, he could calm Ningxia."
"Before, I was afraid that this was a conspiracy by Liu Cunzhi to trick Qingxin into going back to Liu's house, so I didn't tell Qingxin to know, and only sent someone to monitor it day and night."
"According to my observations in recent months, I can at least confirm that her brother is really looking forward to avenging her."
Lingjun's news network is not as wide as the Celestial Gate.
But for some of the movements of people he pays special attention to, he is quite aware of them.
He bowed his head slightly, looked at Liu Qingxin, and implied that he would listen to her decision on this matter.
Mother.
In Liu's light heart, this word, distant like never existed.
In the previous life, there was no such person in her memory, and in this life, she had never received grace.
However, her mentor once said that if there is only one person in this world who can do anything for another person, that person must be a mother.
She......
"I don't know."
Liu Qingxin pursed her lower lip, looked up, and looked at Ling Jun who was standing next to her.
From the bottom of her heart, she hopes to have her own mother.
However, she also knew that this mother was the mother of this body, not the mother of her lonely soul.
She has already received a lot of favor from Old Man Shen that she shouldn't enjoy, is it now that she wants to occupy other people's mothers?
She doesn't mind doing her filial piety for the original owner of this body, but the mother of the original owner really wants to?
"I know, you don't remember her."
"To you now, she's just a stranger."
Ling Jun smiled and lowered his head, pecking at Liu Qingxin's forehead, his eyes were full of tenderness.
"Don't push yourself."
"What others think and what kind of expectations they have is someone else's business."
"You, my lady, just do what you like."
"If you treat you well, I will repay you tenfold, and if you treat you badly, I will also repay you a hundred times."
Ling Jun's words were full of domineering.
But to others, this is undisguised and unpleasantly rampant, but it makes Liu Qingxin feel more relieved.
"Let her come."
"If you can, let the little brother come too."
After a while, Liu Qingxin gently pushed Ling Jun away, raised his head, looked at Shen Hongxue, who was tangled, and gave his own reply.
With Lingjun here, what is she afraid of?
If that person treats her sincerely, she will be her cheap daughter and do her filial piety for the original owner, otherwise, she is just from "never had" to "no more", and there is no loss.
