He Zhizhong said: "Liu Chengcai is different from his wife and children, he is more greedy for pleasure, otherwise he would not have agreed to our family regardless of his son's wishes." There is no risk, he can easily get a large amount of money, and he can also marry another daughter-in-law who is the right person, and climb to another high-ranking family, for him, it is the most cost-effective thing, and he will not let it go. I will find another opportunity, find a suitable person to be the middle person, so that the faces of the two families can be passed, and his goal is achieved, and he will not be pursued again. As long as he nodded, Liu Chang would be willing if he didn't want to, and the Qi family wouldn't be able to make big waves. ”

He Dalang was so angry that he punched a few sons, and said angrily: "What a wreck!" ”

He Erlang just shook his head disapprovingly: "It can't be just so easy." There will be trouble in the future, unless this Chinese person is a person whose status is much higher than Liu Chengcai. And he agreed to it in person, what should he do with a black hand behind his back? ”

He Zhizhong twisted his eyebrows and said, "So what? One step at a time. It really pushes me to the point, and rabbits bite too. He looked back at Li Xun and said, "Okay, do you say that's the truth?" ”

Li Xun said with a smile: "I remember that in the past, the rich king of Luoyang presented Persian dates and gold fine plates to the saint, and also offered 30,000 pieces of silk cloth as military funds. The first was to give him a man from the sixth grade; The second is that he complained that the son of Zuo Longwu General Zhang Huan borrowed 10,000 yuan from him and refused to return it, so General Zhang was not only ordered to repay the money, but also demoted. ”

This incident caused a sensation, and while the king generously offered it, he also boldly boasted to the emperor that he was rich, saying that even if he hung silk on every tree in Zhongnan Mountain, he still had a surplus in his house. But what do you do when you go to Zhongnan Mountain to hang silk? It is better to dedicate it to the soldiers of this dynasty and do your best. The emperor is a big-hearted man, but not only did he not say: Ya, I am rich all over the world, and you dare to come to me to boast of your wealth? I don't know how thick the sky is! It is not because people are rich that they have a hatred of the rich and calculate what to do. On the contrary, Longyan is happy, the Tao is so rich in the world, he is really sage, all the officials are really doing practical things, the government is clean and the people are rich, and the people know glory and shame. So in addition to settling those two things with the king, there was also a reward.

Li Xun didn't mean to ask the He family to go to the Son of Heaven to boast about their wealth and offer their wealth, after all, although the He family was rich, it was far from being comparable to the king. But it is not bad for the king to offer strange things to him, and to send his grievances directly to heaven to hear this way.

He Erlang was puzzled: "But how can something as precious and rare as a gold fine plate be so easy to obtain?" If this is the case, you should greet the Hu merchants earlier, and maybe you can still receive some good treasures. ”

He Dalang sneered: "How can you be so troubled and complicated? If his family is really so ignorant, I will go to beat the drum and fight with him to the death! ”

He Zhizhong smiled faintly: "It's not that point yet." I've made up my mind, so I'll leave it at that. In two days, you two brothers will accompany me to find Liu Chengcai first. ”

The sky was getting dark, there was a muffled thunder outside, the wind swept mixed with the damp rain through the cracks in the windows and doors, blowing the hollow flowers and gold-plated silver sachets hanging on the beams to spin, and the drooping multicolored silk was drawing a colorful arc in the air, and the fresh plum fragrance spread out, and the stuffiness in the room suddenly dissipated.

Li Xun got up and pushed the window, looked at the heavy dark clouds overhead, and then looked at the white sky in the distance, and said, "There is heavy rain tonight." ”

He Zhizhong said: "Before the rain falls, hurry up and eat." Told the two brothers: "Go and see, the third child can go home after they disperse in the market?" ”

Da Lang and Erlang left together, Li Xun and He Zhizhong walked slowly along the corridor, Li Xun stroked the silk silk on the jade around his waist, leaned into He Zhizhong's ear and whispered a few words.

He Zhizhong squinted at him for a moment, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of provoking fire?" ”

Li Xun smiled: "Where can I still run away?" ”

He Zhizhong smiled: "In this case, you can just pick up the things in my warehouse." ”

Li Xun shook his head: "I don't want it." ”

He Zhizhong was surprised: "Then what do you want?" ”

Li Xun smiled treacherously, leaned over and whispered: "My nephew wants to ask, if the Liu family is willing to give in for the sake of us bowing our heads and bowing our heads, my uncle is really willing to swallow this breath and suffer this dumb loss?" ”

He Zhizhong sighed: "You have also seen that Da Lang is short-tempered, brave and unscrupulous, and Erlang looks forward and backward, and still complains that we didn't think it through at the beginning." The others are even more useless, such a big family, what can I do with the old man? ”

Li Xun laughed: "If my uncle really thinks about it like this, my nephew won't talk much." ”

He Zhizhong hurriedly put away the pretended sadness on his face, and said with a straight face: "Are you sincere?" It's a lot of trouble. ”

Li Xun said solemnly: "Naturally, it is true. ”

He Zhizhong smiled and beckoned to him: "You come here with your ears." If you really have to do this, no one in our family can do it. ”

There was a loud bang, and the pitch-black sky was torn by a few cuts in the hideous lightning, and the raindrops the size of soybeans crackled down. Soon, the water on the eaves flowed into a rain curtain.

He Zhizhong and Li Xun ended their conversation by standing in the soft light of the red lantern and watching the white light flickering outside the corridor.

At two o'clock in the fifth watch, Peony woke up to the sound of the morning drum and could not sleep again. It's not that she recognizes the bed, but there are too many things to think about in her heart, and there are too many longings, so she can't wait for the day to dawn.

She turned over and sat up, pushed open the silver pinto flower and bird screen in front of the bed, and looked out, it was dark, everything was quiet, only Kuan'er who was asleep on the couch by the window made a low and steady breathing sound. Peony was at peace in her heart, smiled lightly, covered the screen again, and waited quietly for dawn.

Although at this moment, the city gates and fang gates have been opened, the hundred officials have set off to go to court, and the snack bars in each square have also opened, but the east and west markets can only open after the drums are beaten at noon. No one in the He family needs to be in a hurry, they will sleep until the hour before getting up, and after breakfast, they will start their day's work and life.

At that hour, there were a few soft noises outside the door, Kuan'er woke up from her sleep, turned over and stayed down, opened the door lightly, took the hot water sent by the rough mother-in-law, and asked in a low voice, "Is Madame up?" ”

The rough mother-in-law smiled: "It's up." I specially ordered Danniang to be in poor health, let her sleep more. ”

As he spoke, Mother Lin and Yuhe, who were already dressed up neatly, came over with the dresses they had smoked last night, and went directly into the house, ready to wake up Peony. When I opened the screen, I saw that Peony had already put on her underwear, sitting in the tent and looking at them and laughing.

Mother Lin smiled with relief, and the people who left home naturally can't be as delicate as when they were not married. At that time, I couldn't sleep and couldn't get up, I could eat whenever I wanted, it didn't matter, and the sisters-in-law complained and envied a few words behind their backs, and there was nothing. It's different now, it's just causing trouble to people, and if you don't know how to count it, it's annoying.

Kuan'er quickly cleaned up the couch, put the peony's makeup mirror, the peony finished washing, went to the couch, and combed her hair by Yuhe. Yuhe smiled: "How about combing your fairy bun today?" ”

Peony shook his head and said, "No, it's so tall, so complicated, just comb it simpler." I want to go to the market today and buy some flowers to go home. "By the way, take a look at the market and see what varieties of peonies the world like; After staying for two days, I told my family to go to Caojiayuan to see the peony together.

Mother Lin took the ivory comb in Yuhe's hand and said, "Since you are going out, let's comb your Uighur bun." ”

After the peony was dressed, the He family's noisy and busy day began.

The He family is no better than the Liu family, no matter morning or evening, they are a big family to eat together, in addition to confidential matters, the men's business arrangements, and the big and small things in the family are all discussed at the dinner table. The He family has a very enlightened place, that is, no matter how big or small, men and women, they can freely express their opinions on things. As family members, Ho Zhizhong and Mrs. Shum will consider everyone's opinions comprehensively before making a final decision. It can be said that the He family got along so well and had a smooth life, and more than half of the credit belonged to the breakfast and dinner party.

In He Zhizhong's ridiculous words, even the prime minister and his ilk have to have a meal in the public court, and if they have a meal to discuss official affairs, the He family doesn't have so many major things to discuss, but they can also learn from it. The results after learning from it are obvious, at the same time as eating, all the big and small things at home are arranged, and after the meal, they perform their duties, busy but not chaotic.

In such an atmosphere, Peony asked to go shopping to see the flower market, and no one thought it was a big deal. even got the support of the family, and everyone thought that she should go out and walk more, instead of being bored at home all day and secretly sad.

When Peony followed behind the fifth sister-in-law Zhang and the sixth sister-in-law Sun, tried to turn over the horse, and walked through the neatly planned cross alley of Xuanpingfang against the rising sun, listening to the crisp sound of horses' hooves and smelling the fresh air after the rain, her mood was indescribable.

God treats her really well, she is only seventeen years old, young, able-bodied, wealthy, has parents and brothers who feel sorry for her, and she also has the talent to plant peonies, she doesn't have to worry about someone chasing her feet, she doesn't have to worry about being scolded for talking to a man, and she doesn't have to worry about being locked up at home all day long and not allowed to go out, let alone worrying that she will never be able to marry after leaving, and she will be miserable and desolate to her family.

Even though many things have a vague impression in her mind, when she sees them with her own eyes, she is always surprised and amazed. The open-mindedness of the He family and the open-mindedness of this era are far beyond her imagination. For example, when the 50-zhang wide Suzaku Street first appeared in front of her, it shocked her, and everything reminded her that she was a frog at the bottom of the well, and she actually had nothing to boast about except for her skill in planting peonies.

How fortunate she was to wear such an era. What kind of era is this, all nations are coming, unprecedented openness and prosperity, not to mention women in charge, or rich women or something, it is not a rare thing. Her gorgeous life has just begun.

——*——*——*——*——

I got the news last night that Qin Li, the author of "My Fair Lady with Medicine", was hospitalized with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage...... I felt very sad in my heart, and while praying for her, I also sounded the alarm for myself.

Because I stayed up too late, I actually had frequent insomnia, and I needed help to settle down at night to fall asleep, and after work, I spent all my energy and rest time on writing books, basic wood exercise, resulting in body waste firewood, and I have been sick some time ago. I have to change my ways, work hard to exercise, adjust my body clock, and never stay up late again.

The body is the capital of the revolution. Among book friends, those who love to stay up late should also pay attention, don't stay up late often, sleep is very, very important; Those who often work at the desk should pay more attention to exercise, walk more, and move more.

Okay, without further ado, I wish every friend good health and happiness.
