Leng Nanxian gently scratched her nose, pulled her up from the bed, and then took her into his arms.

Outside the window, the last rays of the slanting sun shine through the rhombic window, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground through the white curtain.

The two sat upright, snuggled together, quiet and quiet.

"Never, I have never told Ansheng about my family and my life experience. Actually, my original surname was not Leng, but Shen, which is why the Leng family was planning to kick me out of the Leng family in the first place. ”

"Don't have the surname Leng?" An Sheng leaned on Leng Nanxian's shoulder and raised his face happily.

Leng Nanxian nodded: "My grandfather is the head of the Leng family, the first family in Jiangnan. ”

An Sheng's eyes widened in surprise: "The head of the first family? Isn't it rich enough to rival the country? ”

Leng Nanxian licked her slightly open lip flap funny.

"My grandfather had no children under his knees, only one daughter, my mother. When my mother was young, she rejected most of the rich talents in Jiangnan, but she fell in love with my father.

At that time, my father was just a hard-working scholar, amazingly talented, full of ambitions, and was very famous in the south of the Yangtze River.

My Leng family was rich and rivaled the country, but my grandparents were open-minded and admired my father's talent and character, so they married my mother to him. Saying that I am married, in fact, it is not much different from getting rich, because my father's family is poor and empty.

After the wedding, my father obeyed her wishes for the sake of my mother, temporarily put down the poems and books, and helped my grandfather take care of the Leng family's business.

It was in those years that the business of the Leng family reached its peak, making the name of the first family of the Leng family in Jiangnan worthy of its name. Moreover, his father created the silk weaving printing and dyeing process of Liuyun brocade, which made the weaving of the Leng family famous in the south of the Yangtze River and even the whole of Chang'an. The families of the powerful in Chang'an, as well as the marriage daughters of the common people, are all honored to have the wedding dress of the Leng family brocade.

At that time, I was still called Shen Nanxian, my father read a lot of books, and he had a good face, and my mother and grandfather fought for me with this surname.

However, the bigger my father grew his business, the more depressed he became. He doesn't like business, he has great ambitions, and he hopes to make a difference in the court and benefit the people of Chang'an.

Although he didn't say it, my mother also understood his thoughts, and took me to gradually intervene in the management of the Leng family's business.

She was originally a businesswoman, so she was naturally handy in business. The day she thought she could be on her own, she packed up for my father and went north.

I will never forget that day, my mother hid from my grandparents and led me to see my father off. My father touched my head and said earnestly that he would not be by my mother's side in the future, so let me take on the burden of the Leng family and take care of my mother.

Having said so much, he put all his responsibilities as a man and the head of a family on me, who was still just a child!

I asked him: Dad, I take care of my mother, what about you?

He sighed deeply and said: The Qi family rules the country and the world, and my father has a heavier burden to carry on his shoulders. What my father wants to provoke is thousands of homes in Chang'an.

He walked resolutely, and I snuggled up to my mother, who held my hand cold, without the slightest warmth, and shivered all the time. ”

When Leng Nanxian said this, the tip of his throat choked a little and paused.

An Sheng was silent, only stretched out his arm and wrapped it around his waist, hoping to give him a little comfort.

"At that time, I still admired my father very much, and I thought that bold words were very exciting. But then, as the days went by, and the mother toiled day and night, her mind was exhausted, and she grew haggard, and these adorations were worn out and replaced by resentment.

Every night, when I saw my mother coughing lightly in the candlelight, while looking at the account book in her hand, my fingertips fluttering, and the beads on the abacus flicked, my heart was like a needle prick.

This should have been his responsibility as a man, but he abandoned his wife for his own selfish ideals and flew away, leaving my mother to bear it by herself, and to be strong in front of my grandparents and grandparents.

Finally, one day, my mother was overworked, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted in front of me.

The doctor said that she was overworked and her life was short. My grandparents couldn't regret it, and they all said that I shouldn't marry my mother to him, ruining my mother's life.

I heard that he was a high-ranking official in the capital and enjoyed the high power of Houlu, and I heard that at that time, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he assisted the new emperor, and one person was above ten thousand people. Anyway, his grandparents repaired books and went to Beijing, but he didn't come back.

At that time, I gritted my teeth with hatred, burned all the letters he wrote to my mother, swore that I would never recognize him as a father again, and changed my surname to Leng without taking the initiative.

Later, my master traveled thousands of miles south from the capital to find the Leng family, extended my mother's life for three years, and took me as an apprentice to learn medical skills.

For three years, my father didn't even come home to see my mother. My mother was looking forward to it every day and night, crying alone behind my back, and even before she died, she was reading his name, and she couldn't see it.

That's why I've never mentioned him in front of you. These hatreds are all piled up little by little, unforgettable, and difficult to let go of for a lifetime. Every time I see him, I can't help but think of my mother's appearance before she died. ”

Leng Nanxian Rao tried his best to endure it, and his eyes were still red and moist. These unbearable past events, every time they are mentioned, they are depressing and suffocating.

An Sheng didn't know how to persuade him, so he raised his face and made a lip print on his smooth chin.

Leng Nanxian smiled bitterly, and then stretched out his arms to hug her tighter, and there was a little more comfort in his heart.

"Do you want to keep listening?"

An Sheng nodded: "Later, did they kick you out of the Leng family?" The Leng family also declined because of your mother's death, right? ”

Leng Nanxian nodded lightly and shook his head: "The death of my mother made my grandparents feel like ashes for a while, grief-stricken, and had no intention of taking care of business.

The Leng family is a piece of fat, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. And the Leng family used the excuse that I was not a Leng family member and wanted to kick me out of the Leng family. ”

An Sheng's hand tightened, and his heart also lifted: "Despicable! ”

Leng Nanxian smiled lightly: "Master, I have been following my mother since I was a child, how can I be afraid of those tigers and wolves?" My grandparents are old, my mother is gone, my father can't count on it, the Leng family, I naturally have to support it, how can I let this business fall into the hands of others?

I understand that the Leng family is now at its peak, attracting the government, the underworld, and the business road are all coveted. I had the idea of breaking it into pieces.

I told my grandfather what I thought, and my grandfather looked at me with great relief, immediately agreed to my plan, and gradually cheered up.

My grandfather pretended to inherit an heir from among the children of the Leng family, which naturally led to these ill-intentioned people secretly killing each other, and the last uncle used despicable means to stand out.

At this time, my grandfather changed his mind and said that he would change the business mode of the Leng family and distribute all the stores of the Leng family to the children of the Leng family, but he had to pay a certain amount of shares every year.

The uncle naturally did not allow it, but the others had no hope, and at this time they suddenly heard that there was a way to make money, and although it was not satisfactory, they were still ecstatic. Everyone worked together, and the uncle naturally failed.

My grandfather and I have mastered the unique brocade printing and dyeing process of the Leng family, a trick is fresh, eaten all over the world, no one in the world can imitate, this is the Leng family's greatest wealth, and it is not a secret. Relying on this, we are not afraid that they will have other thoughts.

After the training and ability assessment of the children of the Leng family, we distributed the Leng family's shops in various parts of the Jiangnan to them to operate, and only collected shares. In this way, the Leng family seems to be scattered and has declined since then, but in fact, it is just a different way of doing business. Although we earned a little less silver, my grandfather didn't have to worry about labor, and he worked as hard as my mother.

Naturally, there are people who are shrewd and will look at our craft. Therefore, I ordered the best embroiderers, weavers, and tailors of the Leng family to use the best silk to weave the best Liuyun brocade and embroider the most exquisite patterns to make the world's unparalleled neon clothes, dedicated to the current Queen Mother, and are willing to pay tribute to the imperial harem every year as a tribute.

Not for anything else, but in exchange for the unique glory and status of this weaving process. There is only one condition, Liuyun Brocade can only be woven by the Jiangnan Leng family, and no one can steal the secret recipe of my Leng family to imitate. And the head of the Leng family is none other than me, Leng Nanxian. ”

An Sheng blinked, a little incredulous: "You mean to say that you are the head of the Leng family now?" ”

Leng Nanxian nodded solemnly: "You say, can the master afford to raise you?" ”

An Sheng wrung him angrily: "I'm still worried that you will lose your family business one day, take me to drink the northwest wind, and I will sew and mend your clothes for you, Master, you are too much, have you been watching the monkey all the time?" ”

Leng Nanxian grabbed her hand, very satisfied: "Master's stupid girl, I have never cried poor in front of you, it's just that you are afraid that I won't be able to marry you." ”

"Say!" An Sheng glared at him angrily.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Leng Nanxian's eyes were full of joy in his heart: "It was the master who wanted to marry An Sheng when he saw An Sheng for the first time, and he wanted to marry her back to the medicine house, is this good?" ”

"At this time, I will say, what to do earlier." An Sheng snorted coldly: "All along, you lied to me, saying that you were kicked out by the Leng family." Are you afraid that An Sheng is the kind of person who is greedy for wealth and wealth? ”

She was annoyed here, settling old accounts again and again, and Leng Nanxian was busy soothing her hair.

"If you are really that greedy for money, it is easy to say that the master directly smashed you with the silver money, and carried it home, wouldn't it be easy? Besides, it's a fact that I was kicked out by them. After the Leng family's business became formalized, all business transactions were transparent and naturally taken care of. My grandparents didn't have to worry about labor like that, they could live for a long time, so they crossed the river and demolished the bridge and drove me from Jiangnan to the capital. ”
