Chapter 52: Restless Home (2)
Shang Mingyuan's face was cold, knowing that he had been tricked by Zhao Sheng and the Zhao family, his chest rose and fell sharply in anger.
Lin Qingwan raised her glass and took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest nephew, it's not impossible for you to attack the lord, but it's too difficult, and after a struggle, I'm afraid that I will hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred." ”
Shang Mingyuan's eyes lit up, and he sat up straight and asked, "If I am willing to lose eight hundred, what is the success rate?" ”
"Thirty percent."
Shang Mingyuan was disappointed, but if there was a fifty percent hope, even if he lost eight hundred, he was willing to fight, that was a baron.
But it's only 30 percent......
"So why don't you find another way?"
Shang Mingyuan pouted and said, "Where else is there any way?" ”
"If you are willing, I can recommend you to Sun Huai, let you be a staff member by his side for a period of time, and give you a record when you get started." Lin Qingwan said: "Although it is not a product, it is also a road, you have a talent in bookkeeping and arithmetic, and you have a talent for human relations, if you are lucky enough to make meritorious contributions, you can be promoted in three or two years." ”
"You and I have a friendship with classmates, your aunt loves you the most among so many nephews and nieces, and my brother also cares about the master-apprentice relationship when he was a child, so if you go to Sun Huai, I dare not guarantee anything else, at least no one dares to embezzle your credit."
Shang Mingyuan's eyes were moist, and his heart was moved, and at the same time, his heart was moved.
Lin Qingwan saw him hesitating, so she said: "If you can't stand the grievances, then don't enter the officialdom." ”
"In addition to officialdom, there are many places where people can get ahead, even if you are separated to be a rich man, don't care what people think, you are always the eldest son of the Shang family, even if you don't inherit the title, no one in this Suzhou city dares to give you grievances for no reason. And you have a set of general affairs, and you are afraid that you will not be able to stand up after dividing the family business? ”
Shang Mingyuan couldn't make up his mind, and Lin Qingwan didn't force him to decide on the spot, and waved his hand: "You go home and discuss with your mother and your daughter-in-law, this is a big deal after all." ”
Shang Mingyuan stood up and said, "Thank you, Aunt Lin, you, and your uncle's promotion of your nephew are all in mind, if you have a place for your nephew in the future......"
Lin Qingwan waved his hand to interrupt him and said, "As long as you live well, it will be good not to waste the love of my brother and sister-in-law who have raised you for a few years." ”
Shang Mingyuan's eyes were red with emotion, and he bowed and stepped back.
When it comes to the future of him and Changfang, Shang Mingyuan really can't make up his mind.
When he returned to Shang's house, he first went to talk to the old lady and ask for peace, and then went to find his sister after retreating.
After thinking about it, he still went to the Buddhist hall, this matter was too big, and he had to ask his mother's opinion.
Lin Yubin went back to the house after returning home, and the three sisters of Shang Danlan gave her a lot of gadgets, and she was going to put them away, so she didn't know that her sister-in-law was instigating Shang Mingyuan to "rebel".
But Lin Qingwan had no intention of hiding it from her, so she told the truth when she asked.
Lin Yubin said tangledly: "Auntie, I see that my cousin and cousin are all very good......
Lin Qingwan smiled, "Growing up together, more than ten years of relationship is there, even if there are some contradictions, it will not affect the relationship." What's more, this is an adult's business, you children don't need to interfere, just live your own life. ”
Lin Yubin muttered, "Big cousin and our generation's ......"
"He's crowned," Lin Qingwan said, "When you reach adulthood, I won't stop you if your sisters fight each other." ”
Lin Yubin stuck out his tongue, "I won't fight with them, but sister-in-law, that's the Shang family's business, why do you want to interfere?" ”
What can Lin Qingwan say, does Zhao Sheng's actions make her feel uneasy?
Lin Jiang has hinted that the biggest enemy of the Lin family is the Zhao family, and now Zhao Sheng doesn't take care of the silver building and farm he just bought, but comes to Suzhou to toss, how can she not be vigilant?
"Your eldest cousin lived in our house for a while when he was a child, and he is also a poor child, so let me pity him as an aunt."
Looking at the childish aunt, Lin Yubin didn't believe it, you can fool around, anyway, I don't believe it.
Lin Qingwan flicked her forehead and said angrily: "Go and practice calligraphy, don't think that you can slack off without Mr." ”
Lin Yubin covered his forehead and left.
Lin Qingwan looked at the back of her leaving, thinking about whether to hire a gentleman for her, the child's schoolwork could not be delayed.
At this time, on the grounds of asking for peace, the family of four gathered in the Buddha Hall to discuss major matters.
Shang Mingyuan's mother, Fang Shi, turned the Buddhist beads in her hand, and after her son finished speaking, she said lightly: "Don't toss these haves and don'ts, you just listen to the arrangement of the ancestors, since the ancestors don't say that the family is divided, then don't divide them, and the title of your second uncle will naturally be yours after a hundred years." This is the promise made by your second uncle in front of the ancestral tablet back then, and he didn't dare not keep it. ”
Shang Mingyuan shook his lips and looked at his sister patiently, Danlan ignored her mother and asked her brother directly, "Does that brother want to be an official, or does he want to be a rich man?" ”
Shang Mingyuan hesitated.
Xiao Fang said in a low voice: "If Aunt Lin can really help Da Lang speak in front of Lord Sun, it is naturally better to have an official body." ”
"But the official from the staff, unless he can make military merits, otherwise the five grades will come to an end, sister-in-law, what can the five officials do in Jiangnan?"
Xiao Fang's frowned, it was better to rely on the Shang family.
Danlan thought the same way, so she said to her eldest brother: "I think what Aunt Lin said is right, the eldest brother is very good at managing general affairs, if he can get a share of the family property, live a prosperous life by himself, and then rely on the Shang family, it is no worse than entering the officialdom." ”
Fang's family was so angry that he quickly slid the Buddha beads, and said with a calm face: "Can't you hear what I said, I said, don't think about splitting up the family, be your eldest son, second miss, and treat your second uncle Zhishi naturally to return the title to us." ”
"Mother," Danlan turned her head and said with a calm face: "If the second uncle had this thought, he would have asked Brother Feng to be the son of the world, why keep delaying it?" Don't mention the promise of the year, which younger brother have you ever seen succeed his brother as emperor and return it to his nephew in a few years? The second uncle is not without a son! ”
Fang's face turned red, "But this title belongs to our big house, back then, it was because your brother was young and couldn't support the Shang family, so your second uncle was temporarily the lord, and he couldn't talk and didn't count." ”
"There are many people in this world who don't count, but there is no contract, what can you do with him, mother?" Danlan asked lightly.
Fang Shi was stunned for a moment, and only then said, "The old ancestor will not agree......"
"The second brother is a good student, and he is the favorite of the ancestors among the grandchildren," Danlan sneered: "Moreover, is this family still the head of the ancestors?" ”
Fang Shi was shocked.
When the three of them walked out of the Buddhist hall, they all exhaled, and Danlan frowned and said, "Don't bother her with this kind of thing in the future, let's discuss it ourselves." ”
Xiao Fang smiled and excused Shang Mingyuan: "Da Lang also wants his mother to be happy, after all, Aunt Lin is willing to help, and we have some help." ”
"Mother only has a knighthood in her heart, no matter how many paths the eldest brother finds, it is useless, so it is better not to bother her," Dan Lan paused and asked, "Big brother, why did Aunt Lin help you so much?" Speaking of which, Yubin is closer to Erlang. ”
Shang Mingyuan proudly straightened his chest and said: "The second brother is closer to Yubin, but my aunt, uncle and Aunt Lin are closer to me, after all, I lived with my uncle for three years, and my uncle raised me as a son at that time." ”
Xiao Fang's clan didn't know that there was still this paragraph, and looked at Shang Mingyuan in surprise.
Shang Danlan had a cold face, "I have lived with my uncle for three years, but I haven't seen you smarter." ”
With that, he snorted and left.
Shang Mingyuan muttered: "Intelligence is innate, what can I do, if I want to blame my father......"
Xiao Fang asked faintly, "Have you ever been to live with Uncle Lin?" How did I not know? I've never heard my family talk about it. ”
"It's not a glorious thing, how can they say it?" Shang Mingyuan pursed his lips, he didn't know before, but he had slowly come back to his senses in the past few years. The things that I didn't understand before are now slowly coming back.
