The Zhao family's superficial kung fu has always been good, so Lin Jiang has never discovered their malice towards the Lin family before, and if it weren't for the peep mirror, they wouldn't be able to guard against the Zhao family.

Even when Zhao Jie was in Jiangnan to observe the envoy, Lin Jiang might still support him.

After all, he has the ability, and he is still the uncle of Lin Jiang's uncle, and the relationship between the two families is not shallow.

Maybe it was because Lin Jiang annoyed the other party in the matter of Jiangnan Observation Envoy, or maybe it was because the Lin family only had two aunts and nephews now, so they were too lazy to do superficial work, and after the tofu incident, they were even more lazy to cover it up, and directly targeted the Lin family openly.

Even the Shang Mingjie brothers and sisters, who have never asked about foreign affairs, know it.

The brother and sister can't understand why their uncle has to deal with the Lin family, aren't they all relatives?

Second Mrs. Shang was very annoyed by the previous incident, and said unhappily: "Why did your uncle deal with her?" Obviously, she disregarded her relatives, if it weren't for her, your uncle's gluttonous building would not have closed. ”

Shang Danzhu muttered: "The preparation method of tofu is an ancient recipe, and it is not only my uncle's secret recipe, and Aunt Lin doesn't go out often, she doesn't know that there are things in the gluttonous building, how can she be alienated because of this?" ”

Shang Mingjie even said: "Uncle did something wrong, the cost of tofu is not high, but he sells a dish so expensive, which is dishonest." If he sincerely apologizes after the incident comes out, everyone will still be angry, and they will not be too ugly with him. But he forced Aunt Lin to cut off the business of his subordinates, which was not right. ”

Mrs. Shang said with a cold face: "Your uncle made a deal with her, and she took the benefits, but she didn't believe it. ”

Shang Danzhu was silent.

Shang Mingjie couldn't help but raise his hand to interrupt her words, "Mother," he looked at her with blazing eyes and said, "My son has wanted to ask for a long time, and my uncle and uncle started to target my cousin's bookstore, right?" I remember that the business of the Lin Family Bookstore was not good since April. ”

Shang Danzhu looked at his brother in surprise, then glared at his mother, and asked in disbelief, "Why is this, aren't everyone relatives?" ”

"What relatives?" Mrs. Shang said angrily, "Your uncle is your relative. ”

Shang Danzhu couldn't help but redden, "Cousin Kelin is also our relative, and she is my aunt's biological daughter!" ”

"Your aunt is dead, and you are now calling your aunt's surname Lin! Danzhu, don't forget, your second uncle also sent you a lot of beautiful clothes and jewelry during the Mid-Autumn Festival, what can your aunt give you? ”

Shang Danzhu looked at his mother with wide eyes.

Shang Mingjie pursed his lips, suppressed his temper and asked, "Does my father know about this, and does my grandmother know about this?" ”

"This is a matter for adults, you children don't care."

"My cousin is also a child," Shang Mingjie couldn't suppress his temper and said angrily, "Then why do you want to implicate her?" How old is Aunt Lin? My aunt and uncle are gone, and we don't talk about taking care of them, so how can we still target them? ”

Shang Danzhu pursed his lips and looked at his mother stubbornly.

Mrs. Shang didn't expect that the two children would not stand on her side, so she couldn't help but say angrily: "What do you know, the Lin family has always been cunning, do you think their aunt and nephew are good?" Do they have to have a little ability to gain a foothold in Suzhou? You two children were fooled. ”

"Mother!" Shang Mingjie looked at her disapprovingly and said, "If the Lin family is cunning, what about my aunt?" She is also a member of the Lin family, if she is not good, what about us who are in the same vein as her? ”

"How is this the same?" Second Mrs. Shang held back her voice for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Why do you think your uncle is targeting the Lin family?" That's because our two families have always had a feud, your great-grandfather died at the hands of the Lin family, and your grandfather had no ambition in his life, all because of the Lin family's suppression. ”

Shang Mingjie and Shang Danzhu opened their mouths wide, both of them had heard such a statement for the first time.

Shang Mingjie's first reaction was, "This is impossible, haven't the Lin and Zhao families always been world friends?" ”

"What kind of world friend," Mrs. Shang sneered: "That's just because the Lin family is powerful, and our Zhao family has to swallow our anger." ”

A bright light flashed in Shang Danzhu's mind, and he muttered: "I used to have to swallow my anger, but now that my uncle is gone, my uncles have begun to deal with Aunt Lin and Cousin Lin?" ”

Mrs. Shang Er pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes flashed with a cold light.

Shang Mingjie shook his head and said in a trembling voice: "But what does this matter have to do with Aunt Lin and Cousin Lin?" Didn't my great-grandfather have them at that time? ”

"How can it not matter?" Mrs. Shang exclaimed excitedly: "Their surname is Lin, so it has something to do with it." ”

Shang Mingjie was about to refute, but he was dragged by his sister, Shang Danzhu said: "Mother, no matter what your uncle does, you'd better not interfere." We are close relatives to the Lin family, and Cousin Lin is my aunt's only daughter, and my grandmother would be very angry if she knew that you were targeting her. ”

After that, he pulled his brother and left.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Shang Mingjie pulled back his hand and pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you let me say it, this matter has nothing to do with Aunt Lin and Cousin Lin." ”

Shang Danzhu looked left and right, and saw that there were only two brothers and sisters here, so he couldn't help but scold him in a low voice: "Why are you so stupid, you believe whatever your mother says?" ”

"What?" Shang Mingjie looked confused.

Shang Danzhu sighed: "Although I don't know about the things between the ancestors, but I have heard the righteousness of the ancestors of the Lin family more than once, do you think, the royal family almost wiped out the Lin family's descendants, Lin Gong chose to endure for the sake of the Liang, for the sake of the people of the world, and did not rebel, do you think such a person will kill his great-grandfather and suppress his grandfather?" ”

There is another sentence that Shang Danzhu didn't say, if the Lin family really did such a thing, how could they marry their aunt as a daughter-in-law?

Being in-laws with the enemy's in-laws, isn't that looking for death?

With Shang Danzhu's understanding of the Lin family, the Lin family would not be so confused.

And like the Zhao family, the Shang family was also under Lin Gong, and the three families were colleagues, if it was really the Lin family who killed their great-grandfather, it was impossible for the Shang family not to know, how could they hire their mother as a daughter-in-law because of their grandmother's shrewdness?

Shang Mingjie also quickly thought of this, he was just concerned about it, and when his sister mentioned it, he immediately reacted, "I'll ask my grandmother." ”

The old lady of the three families is the oldest, and she is still their grandfather's generation, so she will know a little.

Shang Danzhu grabbed him and said, "Be careful, don't show your mouth in front of your grandmother, if you let your grandmother know that the Lin and Zhao families are in such a trouble, how sad will you be." ”

Shang Mingjie thought of his mother's silence just now, and said secretly: Grandmother and father may not know, but they are afraid that they know and don't ask.

For a while, I was worried and painful in my heart, how did a good relative become like this?

Shang Mingjie has a sweet mouth and is alert, when he wants to inquire about something, he has always done twice the result with half the effort, and in the face of his grandmother who loves him, it is even more convenient to find out.

The ancestors of the Shang family were farmers who farmed the land, but they were very energetic, and because of their morality, they were very mixed in Suzhou.

The Lin family is a big family in Suzhou, Lin Li was the young patriarch at that time, and he also liked to make friends, and the two became friends by chance.

Later, Lin Li followed Shi Qian, the founding emperor of the Great Liang, to raise troops, and some imperial army came to Suzhou to suppress the rebellion, and many people were inspired by Lin Li's benevolence to protect, and the ancestors of the Shang family were one of them.

When Lin Li brought the troops back to exterminate the imperial army, he brought these people together, when the country was divided and there were wars everywhere, and there were only three brothers left in the Shang family, the ancestors of the Shang family gritted their teeth, left all the land and money to the two younger brothers, and rebelled with Lin Li with a hoe.

"And what about my great-grandfather?" Shang Mingjie took the opportunity to ask: "I remember that our three ancestors have been colleagues, we should have revolted together, right?" ”

Old Madam Shang smiled and bowed her head, "It's together, but your great-grandfather will be a little later, the Zhao family is the gentry of Jiangdu, and it was Lin Gong who took your great-ancestor to Jiangdu when he took refuge here." ”

It is said that the gentry actually promoted the Zhao family, at that time their family was just more land than ordinary people, it was a small landlord, when Lin Li led the troops to occupy Jiangdu, the Zhao family took the opportunity to take refuge, Zhao Jie's ancestors enlisted in the army, and followed Lin Li to fight in the west.

Later, Shi Qian established the Great Liang State, and Lin Li also began to rectify the Lin family's army, and the Shang family was divided into another army because of a lot of military achievements, and the Zhao family was still a deputy general under Lin Gong.

The friendship between the three families was formed at that time, after all, after living and dying together for so many years, the relationship is not ordinarily deep.

Shang Mingjie and Shang Danzhu couldn't help but glance at each other, "That great-grandfather also died of illness?" ”

Old Madam Shang squinted, sighed and shook her head: "No, he died in battle, and when he fought against the rebel army, he was beheaded by the enemy general, and your great-ancestor was still sad for a while." ”
