Because of Lin Qingyue's sudden touching of the pillar, Xie Chen's negotiations with the Lin family were forced to stop.

In the huge hall, only Xie Chen and Xie Xuan, father and son, remained.

Xie Chen still looked unchanged, playing with the teacup in his hand, quietly waiting for Lin Yunchang's return.

However, Xie Xuan was very anxious, he paced back and forth in front of the hall, his hands clasped tightly together, and his expression was anxious.

"Since you're worried, go and see, there's no need to make this embarrassing appearance in front of me." After Xie Xuan walked back and forth no less than twenty times, Xie Chen raised his eyes to look at him and spoke lightly.

Xie Xuan's movements froze, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but step forward and said, "Father, you have gone too far, you want me to go back, I'll go back with you, why are you embarrassed by Yueniang?" ”

Idiot!

Xie Chen sneered in his heart.

What's the use of him asking him to go back? It's just a poor worm abandoned by him, and I really think he is thinking about the love between father and son! If the two children of the Lin family can't follow back to Beijing, what is he doing at the Lin family?

Xie Chen thought about it, and subconsciously looked around, although the decoration in this hall was simple and simple, everything was very exquisite. For example, the ink-splashed landscape screen on the left side of the hall is from the handwriting of Zhang Wenzhi, a master of the previous dynasty, worth 10,000 gold, as well as the carved wooden chair sitting under him, which is made of high-quality mahogany, and even the inconspicuous little teacup in his hand is Ru kiln porcelain! This kind of arrogance and wealth was something he couldn't even think of when he was in the capital.

Although he is in the third grade, his monthly income is meager, if it weren't for the fact that the household still has oil and water to fish, his annual income would not even be able to buy a screen randomly placed by the Lin family!

In addition, in addition to the Xie family to support, he also has to support the Yue family. The Bai family is already a broken family, but it still has to maintain the ridiculous dignity of the family, his father-in-law has become more and more inches after his promotion, and every time he sees the account book handed by the Bai family, he has to be overwhelmed.

Therefore, when he knew that he also had a son in the mansion of a wealthy merchant in Ruyang, he was so excited, and later learned that this rich merchant had only one daughter, he did not even hesitate, and rushed to Ruyang City without stopping. After he saw the wealth of the Lin family with his own eyes, how could he still give up?

Of course, Xie Chen would not tell Xie Xuan these words, he was not worthy of it.

Therefore, when facing Xie Xuan, he did not show half of his intentions for the Lin family, but said gently: "It's not that my father is excessive, my father is thinking about you, those two children are your flesh and blood after all, can you really bear to be separated from them?" ”

Xie Xuan didn't speak, his expression was still very entangled.

Indecisive, difficult to take on a big responsibility, it is really worthy of being born by a woman in that village! Xie Chen disliked Xie Xuan again in his heart.

Just when the father and son were staring at each other, Lin Yunchang came back.

Xie Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dad, how is Yueniang?" Is she okay? ”

Lin Yunchang snorted coldly, "I can't die, don't thank the young master for bothering!" ”

Xie Xuan lowered his head, "No, Dad......"

"You don't have to call me dad, I can't afford it!" Lin Yunchang interrupted Xie Xuan's words angrily, and stepped forward to Xie Chen again: "You hurry up and take your son away, don't beat my two grandchildren's ideas, if you want to rob it, it depends on whether you have the ability!" ”

No matter how big the official is, the strong dragon can't suppress the head snake of the ground, and if he is in a hurry, he will kill him with one sword, and it is a big deal to kill one life! He didn't believe that after reporting the ins and outs of the matter to the imperial court, the imperial court would still help Xie Chen speak? Then there is no heavenly reason!

I have to say that Lin Yunchang is too naïve.

Xie Chen thought the same thing, so he smiled.

"Shopkeeper Lin might as well try, I'm afraid that once I rob it, you can't afford the consequences."

"What do you mean?" Lin Yunchang glared, as if he was going to eat him alive.

Xie Chen turned the jade wrench on his thumb, as if he was pulling a family routine, and said lightly: "You said that this official is a member of the third rank of the imperial court, and he deigned to come to this small Ruyang City, will anyone come to talk to this official?" ”

Lin Yunchang was stunned.

Xie Chen continued: "This person who came to befriend the official, after understanding the purpose of the official's trip to Ruyang City, volunteered to solve this matter for the official, and also revealed the old background of your Lin family to the official. It's just that after all, this official has raised my son in your Lin family for many years, and I think you shouldn't be so ignorant of current affairs, so I want to come to discuss with the Lin shopkeeper, if the discussion is good, naturally there is no need to rob it, but if the discussion is not good......"

Xie Chen smiled meaningfully, "Why don't you guess what the shopkeeper is this person who came to talk to the official?" ”

The county order Hu Shen!

Lin Yunchang immediately knew the answer.

The backer of their Lin family, now, has actually become Xie Chen's weapon against their Lin family?

Ridiculous, ridiculous!

"People, they always go to high places, your Lin family can only make money with people, but I can allow him a future. Who will he choose, you say? Xie Chen quietly admired Lin Yunchang's unpredictable expression, and then hooked his lips and smiled, "Shopkeeper Lin, those who know the times are Junjie!" ”

Lin Yunchang's face turned pale, and his whole body was cold.

He stared at Xie Chen, his hands hanging in his sleeves clenched into fists, and a crazy thought shouted in his ear: Kill him, kill him, even if the fish dies and the net is broken, it is better than letting him succeed in his treacherous scheme.

"You just want two children, don't embarrass my father." Just when Lin Yunchang was hot-headed, a clear Lingling voice fell from the sky, instantly sobering him up.

Lin Yunchang turned around and saw Lin Qingyue walking in with Lin Zhenzhen in his arms.

She has been re-dressed and dressed, changed into a clean moon-white jacket, her hair is also neatly combed, and the hairpin is embellished with a ruby twisted gold hairpin, which is brilliant and dazzling.

She walked calmly, stood still in front of the hall, and looked at Xie Chen's eyes calmly, as if nothing had happened here just now.

Xie Chen was a little surprised to see her appearance, he didn't expect Lin Qingyue, who was still looking for death and life, to recover so quickly, which was really unexpected by him.

Hu Shen clearly said that the eldest lady of the Lin family is a woman who only knows love and is extremely fragile in her heart, as long as she is slightly stimulated, she will completely collapse, and she will not be able to set off any more storms.

But now, how can she act like no one?

"Mother, is he Master Xie from the capital?" The childish voice of the child pulled Xie Chen's thoughts back.

He looked up and saw a little girl carved in pink.

Four or five years old, wearing a new pink jacket, with a circle of rabbit fur on the collar, lining her lips and teeth white, and her eyebrows are picturesque. is about to inherit Lin Qingyue's stunning beauty, and at a young age, he can faintly see the shadow of a beauty, only a pair of eyes are dark and dark, bottomless, which is very disliked.

Xie Chen frowned, thinking that this was probably Xie Xuan's daughter.

This look, growing up in this merchant's family, I don't know who will be cheaper in the future, if he enters Beijing with him, it may be able to help him consolidate his position in the DPRK and China.

Thinking of this, Xie Chen ignored Lin Zhenzhen's unpleasant eyes, and looked at her with love.
