Yarong said eloquently: "The old man has no children under his knees, and the Guo family has no collateral relationship, and the family business will definitely fall on the daughter of the Guo family in the future." The second lady has already married out, and she is a concubine, and it is impossible to inherit the family business, and the eldest lady has become the best choice. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao lowered his eyes and looked thoughtful.

"In my heart, the master still loves the eldest lady."

"Isn't Daddy's most painful thing about Qianqian? My aunt also came to Guo's mansion before, didn't she see it too? ”

"Although this is the case, the eldest lady is the meat that fell from the master's body. Last time, I was able to move in to rescue the soldiers, but it was my lord's idea. At that time, the slave didn't know what to do, so she immediately ran to the old man's mansion for help. The old man wrote a letter with a pen and asked me to hand it over to the 800-mile expedited post post, and Lu Gongzi came to Yangzhou just now. ”

Yarong persuaded with kind words: "The lord has the heart to hand over the family business to you, so even if you make some mistakes, the lord will not take away your position in charge." Furthermore, it is easy to take away the position, but it is difficult to get it back into your hands. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The eldest lady thinks about it carefully, there is a precedent for abolishing the prince in the first dynasty, how many of them are established and abolished, abolished and established? Once deposed, it proves that this person is not able to take on the important role of the prince. Miss Yon, if the eldest lady is deprived of the right to be in charge, it will be difficult for the lord to find a reason for you to be the steward of Zijin Fang. ”

Guo Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that what Yarong said made some sense.

"At present, the development momentum of our Zijinfang in Yangzhou is just right, and there are many businessmen who want to marry the Guo family, and they fancy the family business of the Guo family. The eldest lady must be careful, don't let those villains who tend to be inflammatory. ”

Yarong is every word, Guo Xiaoxiao has understood what she means, no wonder Master Guo has never opened up Guo Xiaoxiao's marriage since Han Tianlei, even if the matchmaker stepped through the threshold, Master Guo did not reveal half a word.

Oh, I almost forgot, Guo Xiaoxiao remembered Murong Lang in Chengnan Qianzhuang, since his father didn't have the heart to arrange a marriage for Guo Xiaoxiao, what about arranging a blind date with Murong Lang?

Although Guo Xiaoxiao had doubts, he didn't say it, and only asked, "How is she?" ”

Yarong's face suddenly became ugly, and she sighed: "I heard that I was diving, and when I was discovered, my whole body was swollen, my stomach was already bigger, and I had two lives." ”

Guo Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and closed his eyes: "People who are bent on seeking death can't stop it, it's just that." ”

The person the two of them were talking about was Zipei, who was entangled with Murong Lang that day.

Guo Xiaoxiao tried her best to save her that day, but in the end she committed suicide. Those who are bent on seeking death will die even if they are saved. As long as Guo Xiaoxiao thinks of this, he feels that there is no point in saving her, and he will not regret it.

"It's almost the New Year, my aunt will give the embroidery girls more money, and the big guy should be happy."

"Yes, the silver taels have been counted, so let's send them."

After Guo Xiaoxiao and Yarong said goodbye, they left Zijin Fang, and were about to return to Guo's mansion, when they saw Da Zhe leading a carriage parked in front of Yuan's pharmacy on the way.

Guo Xiaoxiao walked over and greeted Da Zhe.

"Why did it close so early today?" Guo Xiaoxiao asked.

"Oh, there's something going on in the house temporarily, and I need to go back." Big rut.

While the two were talking, Yuan Shaocheng came out, got into the carriage directly, and when he was about to lower the curtain, he met Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Guo Xiao smiled and bowed.

"I'm sorry I can't say hello today." Yuan Shaocheng said lightly, lowered the curtain, and let Da Zhe drive away.

Da Zhe drove to Liuli Lane, and as soon as the carriage stopped, Yuan Shaocheng immediately got off the carriage and ran inside. As we reached the hall, I heard a "bang" on the table.

This was followed by a woman's voice: "You guys! You greedy for wealth and ungrateful, looking at the good momentum of the Yuan family now, rushed to grab the shop and the family property one by one! ”

The woman coughed a few times as she spoke, and Yuan Shaoyin hugged her by the side.

"Mother!" Yuan Shaocheng stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hand.

"Ah Cheng, you're just in time." Mrs. Yuan pointed to more than a dozen people in the hall and said sharply, "These jackals who seek wealth and kill relatives are coming to rob our shop." ”

A man in his fifties with a Chinese character face spoke: "Fourth brother and sister, what you said is not right. How can it be called robbery? We are also a member of the Yuan family, and we are here to inherit the family business of the Yuan family. ”

"Shut up!" Mrs. Yuan scolded, "Back then, the Yuan family was in trouble, and there was no shop and all the property, and our family was so poor that we couldn't open the pot." At that time, I saw a little relief from you! ”

"Brother and sister, our family is poor, and we are mud bodhisattvas ourselves......

"You talk nonsense!" Yuan Shaoyin shouted, "At that time, the eldest brother often went to the Drunken Immortal Building with his fox friends and dog friends to eat and drink. A meal in Drunken Immortal Mansion costs a few taels of silver, and you are embarrassed to say that you are struggling! ”

The man with the Chinese face defended: "Applejack's child was ignorant when he was a child, and he often did some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and I don't know where he got the money." ”

Mrs. Yuan said: "Hmph, Ajie was brought bad by your husband and wife, you yourself have a bad style, and you even learned badly with children." ”

Another embarrassed man spoke: "Alas, fourth sister-in-law, those are all things of the past, and now we are all in ......."

Mrs. Yuan was furious: "I'm bah! Who is one with you, you wolves? You steal chickens and dogs, do all those unseemly things, our family is innocent, you don't want us to be involved with you. ”

Yuan Shaocheng helped Mrs. Yuan to sit down on the chair, and said to the man with a national face: "Third uncle." ”

He arched his hand to the embarrassed man and said, "Fifth uncle." ”

The third uncle's name is Yuan Weihao, who is from the Mu clan in the side room; The fifth uncle's name is Yuan Weihang, and he is from the Dong family in the side room. The two are brothers of the same clan as Yuan Shaocheng's father, Yuan Weisheng.

"In terms of clans, we are indeed a master, but since Emperor Wanli ascended the throne, our families have not had much contact. Especially after my father's incident, several of Yuan's rooms have gone out independently, haven't they? I remember that since the seventh year of Wanli, the third uncle and the fifth uncle have not participated in the routine sacrifices of the Yuan family. ”

Yuan Sanbo and Yuan Wushu both turned their faces aside when they heard his words.

Yuan Shaocheng continued: "In previous years, the Qingming Festival was also managed by our family and the eldest uncle, and since my grandfather went to the immortal, I haven't seen the figures of the third uncle and the fifth uncle. ”

Yuan Sanbo said: "His mother and I are pretending to be the ancestors of the Yuan family in our hearts, although we do not participate in the sacrifice and Qingming, we also set up tablets at home. ”

"You offer?" Mrs. Yuan scolded, "The ancestors of the Yuan family don't want to see scum like you. ”

"Why do the four brothers and sisters always talk like knives?" Yuan Sanbo said with a dead face, "Aren't we part of the Yuan family?" ”

Fifth Uncle Yuan echoed: "The fourth brother has a future, according to the meaning of the fourth brother and sister, is only the children who have a future qualified to worship the ancestors of the Yuan family?" Is it only when you have a chance to be considered a child of the Yuan family? We still have our names on the family tree! The fourth sister-in-law said such a thing, could it be that she saw that our concubines were unpleasant and wanted to drive us out of the Yuan family? ”

Mrs. Yuan stood up again: "You wolves! When Shiro was framed, you didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and reversed black and white to help people outside. Later, Shiro was dilapidated and almost had his house raided, so you ran far away and chartered a boat overnight to hide in Jiangnan. At that time, why didn't you say that you were part of the Yuan family! ”

Fifth Uncle Yuan said: "We hid in Jiangnan to preserve the Yuan family's incense, what if the government really raids the house, what if our Yuan family's incense is broken?" ”

"Hmph." Yuan Shaoyin stood beside Mrs. Yuan and said, "What kind of incense are you!" You just watched your brother run the pharmacy in an orderly manner, and when you see that you have money to make, you want a piece of the pie! Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of the Yuan family now. ”

Fifth Uncle Yuan said: "Our names are still remembered on the genealogy, and you just want to drive us out of the Yuan family when you say that!" ”

Someone else coaxed: "That's right, you obviously want to kick us out of the Yuan family!" ”

These people who are attached to it are all collateral of the Yuan family, and although they are far from the Yuan family, in the final analysis, they are still the blood of the Yuan family, and they are related to the Yuan family. They were bewitched by Yuan Sanbo and Yuan Wushu, and they were consumed by their desire for profit, and they all came to oppress Yuan Weisheng's family.

Yuan Sanbo said: "You obviously want to occupy the Yuan family's property, and don't take us who are partial to the house in your eyes!" You want to monopolize the property, but we just don't agree. ”

"Monopolizing the property?" Mrs. Yuan stepped forward and said confidently, "These pharmacies in Yangzhou are all self-made and painstakingly run by my son Ah Cheng, and the only thing left by the ancestors is the name of the Yuan family!" We have our own property! These pharmacies are ours. ”

Someone coaxed: "Yuan's pharmacy is famous, how can you have today's scale if you don't use Yuan's name!" ”

"Hahaha!" Mrs. Yuan looked up to the sky and smiled, "This name is so good, why don't you want it?" You can also use Yuan's name to set up a few pharmacies! If it weren't for the continuation of the incense that the Yuan family has practiced medicine for generations, we wouldn't have used the name of the Yuan family at all. ”

Fifth Uncle Yuan said: "Father passed the housekeeper key to Shiro, that is, the name of the Yuan family was also passed on to Shiro, how dare we use the name of the Yuan family......

Mrs. Yuan said: "You know that your father passed on the name of the Yuan family to Shiro, why do you want to get a piece of the pie today!" ”

Fifth Uncle Yuan said: "The Yuan family shares weal and woe, we naturally have the responsibility to manage the pharmacy together, and there are so many shops in Yangzhou, how can Ah Cheng take care of it!" ”

"Clever tongue!" Mrs. Yuan scolded, "I won't give you a cent of the family business that Shiro and Ah Cheng have built!" I want to rob the Yuan family's shop and land, unless I die! ”
