"Poof." Xiao Ling'er couldn't help laughing, she looked so obedient and sweet, now children are so annoying, "Your eldest brother still praises me for being beautiful?" ”

She winked at Mei Cheng'an, she didn't expect this guy to have the habit of praising people behind his back, "That Xingwen, tell my sister-in-law, what else did my eldest brother say about me?" ”

"He also said that his sister-in-law is the most special woman in the world, and she is also the most important person to him, so his sister-in-law is also an important person in Xingwen."

"Okay Xingwen." Mei Chengan finally couldn't help but interrupt him, "As long as you talk too much, don't let your sister-in-law stand, go in first and talk about it." ”

"Look, sister-in-law, how much my brother loves you." Mei Xingwen blinked again, and then took Xiao Ling'er inside.

"Shy?" Xiao Ling'er approached him and grabbed Mei Chengan's arm, this guy actually has a shy side. She stood on tiptoe, put her hand on his ear, and whispered, "You are the most important person to me. ”

The account problem of the shop is easy to deal with, and after the old party deals with it, it is reported that Mei Chengan came to Baicaotang more to see Mei Xingwen.

According to the rules of the Mei family, the children of the Mei family must enter the shop when they are ten years old and start to follow the business experience. Xingwen was not in good health when he was young, although he was not in Tang County, but after he turned ten years old, he still took it back and followed the shop.

Mei Chengan values him very much, fortunately, this kid is indeed talented and intelligent, he was a little skinny when he was a child, but the things that should be learned are still not left behind, and now he is in the shop, and he can learn almost a little bit with the old man, and he learns quickly.

Mei Cheng'an took the account book and asked him a few places, and Mei Xingwen answered it all right, not to mention that Xiao Ling'er couldn't sort it out in some places. She has a lot of ghost ideas in business, but most of the details in the account book are for Sister Shishi to see, but Mei Xingwen can have such insight at a young age, and she will not be bad in business in the future.

Xiao Ling'er shrugged her shoulders, sure enough, the people of the Mei family are different, even a child as young as Mei Xingwen is so powerful, no wonder the Mei family has been standing in Tang County for so many years.

Xiao Ling'er sat on the side, watching Mei Cheng'an slowly teach Mei Xingwen, she rarely saw him so serious, the last time was when she taught her to read in the medicine canteen.

But there are also some differences, he seems to be more serious about Xingwen, and he teaches everything, as if he wants to hand over everything in his mind to him for a while, so that he can manage the entire Mei family with one hand.

Xiao Ling'er looked at Mei Chengan's serious face, he should have placed deep hopes on Xingwen.

Haosheng sat for a while, and after Xiao Ling'er and Shopkeeper Fang finished checking the accounts that should be corrected, Mei Chengan finally rested and let Xingwen take the accounts to digest them by himself.

Xiao Ling'er walked up to him and handed him the tea in her hand, "Tired, aren't you?" ”

Mei Chengan shook his head, "Xingwen is very talented in business, and if he can teach more, he can integrate into the Mei family's business as soon as possible." ”

"You've thought everything through." Xiao Ling'er smiled bitterly, how could she not understand Mei Cheng'an's intentions.

He still arranged her future clearly, and even prepared the book for her before deciding to be with her. This Mei family, he will naturally think about the plan in his heart a long time ago.

He was bent on dealing with Mei Yongxin and slowly stripping his power out of the Mei family, but he knew that his body might not be able to survive the past few years, so he was afraid that the Mei family would have no successor, so when Mei Xingwen finally returned to the Mei family at the age of ten, he would hand over everything he knew to him.

"Presumably from the very beginning, you have thought about it, first clean up the internal strife of the Mei family, straighten out this mess, and then support Xingwen and make him the head of the Mei family, only in this way can you leave with confidence." Xiao Ling'er sighed and sat down beside Mei Cheng'an, "It's just that you think about everything for others, but you never think about yourself, you are the most taboo to work hard when you are riddled with cold diseases, but you still put all your strength on the Mei family." ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Mei Cheng'an took her hand and put it in his palm, Ling Er did say what he was thinking.

Although with Xingwen's talent and ability, he can slowly grow up to support the Mei family even if he is not there, but he is still young after all, and he has some talent in business, but he is too simple to be a little less vigilant than these deceits, he can't keep Mei Yongxin in the Mei family, otherwise as long as he leaves, Mei Yongxin will definitely find a way to deal with Xingwen.

He must clear everything before that and leave no evil for him.

However, Ling Er still said one thing less, maybe all his thoughts were like this before he met her, but after having her, he was a little more afraid and hopeful.

The fortune teller's words had only been hesitant when he had just learned about fashion and was hesitant when he was a child, and then he had long been accustomed to seeing them, but now, those uneasiness arose.

After all, he couldn't let go of her, if he could, he really wanted to stay with her like this all the time. If he could, who would want to pave all the way for his death as early as he did.

It's just that he is so uneasy, but he won't let Xiao Ling'er notice it, he still shook his head and gently stroked her palm.

"Cheng'an, tell me about the past, will you?" Xiao Ling'er changed the topic, not wanting these words to make the two of them too heavy, Brother Xie Yuan is also working hard, she believes that one day, she will definitely see hope.

"Huh?"

"Yes, you never told me about it before, I'm really curious, for example, how did the fall into the water that caused your cold illness happen, and Xingwen's biological mother, I used to overhear what you said when you worshiped the third lady, and I always felt that her death didn't seem to be simple, and I don't know what happened to her. Why do you have such a good relationship with the third lady, but they are like this with Mei Yongxin, I am really curious about everything. ”

Xiao Ling'er didn't know if Mei Chengan would tell her, those things had been sealed in his heart for a long time. Maybe some things, such as the third lady, are like becoming a scar in the heart, and it is always uncomfortable for people to uncover it themselves.

But she just couldn't help it, she wanted to know everything about him, and she wanted to share his pain with him.

Fortunately, Mei Chengan was only silent for a while, then lightly hooked the corners of his lips, and clasped her hand with ten fingers, "It was indeed a long time ago, I originally wanted to tell you, but I didn't expect it to be delayed several times, but you mentioned it first, the story is not short, but I don't think I have too much to say." ”

"No, no, I'm really happy that you're willing to tell me."

Mei Chengan's words are not false, it is indeed not such a simple story.

Xiao Ling'er knew in her heart before, Sister Shishi also told her that a big family like the Mei family will always have a lot of shady and intricate stories, and people's hearts are the most untested in the face of interests, and the devil in their hearts tortures them all the time, prompting those inferior and vicious methods to be derived step by step.

And Mei Cheng'an's cold illness and the death of the third lady Jiang Nianqing are the victims of this test.

In fact, the original Mei family is also the same as an ordinary family, although it cannot be said that it is happy, at least it can be regarded as a harmonious life. The old man of the Mei family is resolute and very business-minded, and runs the Mei family in an orderly manner.

The three sons of the Mei family are very similar to him at this point, but Mei Chengan is different from him in that the master of the Mei family is really unclear emotionally, and he and the eldest lady Zhou Xiuning are well-connected to each other for the Mei family's business, and they have no feelings. So it didn't take long for him to fall in love with Yao Xirou, redeem herself from the flower building, and give birth to Mei Yongxin.

At that time, Yao Xirou was actually quite peaceful, after all, although she was a second room and a concubine, she was outstanding, and Master Mei doted on her very much.

Everything has changed since the third lady entered the mansion.

The old man of the Mei family went to a foreign place, unfortunately the gangster was seriously injured, he was rescued by Jiang Nianqing, and he was taken care of by the couch for a long time, and the two fell in love for a long time, and Jiang Nianqing was also taken back to the Mei family by the master of the Mei family in this way, becoming the third lady of the Mei family.

Since then, Yao Xirou's status as a second room has disappeared.

Mei Cheng'an's talent since childhood is much better than Mei Yongxin, and he is the eldest son, even if Zhou Xiuning is not favored, the thoughts of the old man of the Mei family and the old lady of the Mei family are also placed on supporting him, and Mei Yongxin is pressed by him everywhere. There is another Jiang Nianqing, who has shared all the favor of the Mei family, and Yao Xirou and Mei Yongxin's status in the Mei family is in jeopardy.

Yao Xirou's evil thoughts were born from this time.

She came out of the flower building, she was used to being looked down upon and oppressed, and now she finally married into the Mei family and became a master, so she naturally didn't want to live like that at the beginning, and she didn't want her son to be looked down on as well.

At that time, Mei Xingwen had not yet been born, and Mei Chengan was also young. Because of the encounter with the gangsters, Master Mei's health deteriorated, and he knew that he was afraid that his time was running out, so he kept choosing someone the Mei family could take over.

Yao Xirou accidentally heard from the old man of the Mei family that he was discussing with the old lady that he wanted Mei Chengan to enter Baicaotang when he was old and slowly handed over all the Mei family's business to him. As a result, Mei Chengan became a thorn in her heart and the first person she dealt with.

That's how the winter fall came.

"At that time, I didn't know that Yao Xirou did it, but when I grew up, I felt that something was wrong, and I had someone I trusted, so I slowly found out. At that time, Yao Xirou bought off the nurse who took care of me by my side, and pushed me into the icy water in winter when no one was paying attention, trying to let me drown, but it was Sanniang who saved me. ”
