Chapter 189: Conditions
, Zhou Xingshi is a typical businessman, heavy on profit and light on affection.
Originally, he loved Qinglian very much, and he was more indulgent to his daughter, so because he was reluctant to tire his daughter, he thought about simply finding a son-in-law.
Seeing Zhou Qinglian's ignorance, he deeply felt that if his daughter married into the capital, he really didn't know how she would die.
However, for the sake of Qingcheng's future, he must climb this family.
The daughter has suffered some grievances, and she must endure it, and her daughter's brain must be washed, otherwise it will be finished if she can't figure it out from time to time.
"Qinglian, do you want to stay in the capital?"
"Daddy, of course I want to!"
"Since you want to stay, then you have to remember to die, your mouth should be sweet, and no matter what grievances you suffer, you must say good things about the other party."
"What? People bully me, do you still want to praise others? ”
"Look at Daddy, when I was in the shop, the aunt of the county commander Li said that the materials sold by our family were not good, how did Daddy do it?"
"You said that Aunt Lin's skin is better than our ingredients."
"And then?"
"Later, Daddy bought more expensive and better silk, and Aunt Lin often came to buy it."
"Qinglian, you have to remember that if you want to gain a firm foothold in this world, you won't suffer if you have a sweet mouth."
"Daddy, I see."
"Whether you really understand it will be known later, at least for now, remember not to be willful and not to be rash."
"Yes, Daddy, I remember."
Only by appeasing her daughter and not messing with herself can the marriage contract play a role, and it makes sense for her daughter to stay in the capital.
After lunch, Zhou Xingshi finally waited for the time to talk about the marriage contract.
Zhou Zhengyi sat behind the desk, Zhou Ziyu stood on one side of the desk, and Zhou Xingshi sat in the guest chair on the side of the desk.
It's not like a conversation because the difference in momentum is too obvious.
Zhou Zhengyi and Zhou Ziyu have both been on the battlefield and have seen blood with the knives in their hands, which is in stark contrast to Zhou Xingshi's nodding and smiling.
"Uncle Shi! You have been in the capital for so long, and my little nephew has not had time to talk to you, please forgive me. ”
"Kind words from the virtuous nephew! You are a big celebrity in front of His Highness, and it is natural to be busy. ”
"Uncle Shi, I'm leaving home after today, so only today do I have time to talk to Uncle Shi."
"Oh? I wonder how long the virtuous nephew has been gone? There's still business to take care of in my hometown, so I wonder if I can wait until my nephew comes back and have another drink together. ”
"It's hard to say this, it's as short as three or two months, and as long as a year and a half."
"Virtuous nephew, this is going to be released?"
"Your Highness wants me to go to Taiyuan."
"Isn't Taiyuan lost?"
"Uncle Shi also knows?"
"We heard about it on our way to the capital."
"The emperor wants to recover Taiyuan."
"This ......!" I heard that Liu Wuzhou, who now occupies Taiyuan, is very powerful, and the people sent by the imperial court to recover Taiyuan were all arrested by Liu Wuzhou, cut off his tongue and cut off his hands and feet.
Zhou Xingshi sat on the chair, holding the tea bowl, taking a sip, while secretly speculating in his heart about the intentions of the eldest prince of Zhou, he is a businessman, he is naturally sensitive to business opportunities, and he is not involved in the court or current affairs, and at this time he can't judge how sure Zhou Ziyu is going to recover Taiyuan.
Zhou Ziyu said again: "Uncle Shi, I am going to the Qin Palace, the situation is urgent, and I can't even live at home, so I will leave." ”
Zhou Xingshi was stunned: "Virtuous nephew, are you leaving?" ”
I haven't talked about the marriage contract yet!
Zhou Ziyu nodded: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness specially gave us time to reunite with our families, and if we don't leave now, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up." ”
Zhou Xingshi hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Shi will wait for you to return victoriously and then celebrate with you!" ”
"Thank you, Uncle Shi! The little nephew said goodbye! ”
Zhou Xingshi looked at Zhou Ziyu wistfully and turned around and walked out of the study.
Hey, the eldest prince has something to do, what should I do about this marriage? It's okay to say that it has dragged on for three or two months, but after a year and a half, he has accompanied his daughter to wait here, so what can the family's business do? Especially Zhang San didn't know that Qinglian came to the capital to get married!
What if, what if the eldest prince goes to Taiyuan and doesn't win the battle and is defeated? If you don't die in battle, if you are captured, you have your tongue cut off, your arms and legs cut off, what should you do? Zhou Xingshi shuddered, Qinglian hadn't decided to marry yet, if something happened to the eldest son, it wouldn't sound good to say!
Zhou Xingshi was full of thoughts, turned around, and unexpectedly saw Zhou Zhengyi's scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
By the way, the eldest prince is not at home, isn't there still Lord Zhou, the marriage is still decided by the elders!
"Lord Zhou, the eldest prince is too busy. You see, Qinglian's matter ......" Zhou Xingshi deliberately threw out the problem.
Zhou Xingshi's expression, which Zhou Zhengyi had been observing, changed his expression and saw his subtle movements in his eyes: "Brother Xian, Ziyu's matter, let's talk about it the same." ”
In the morning in the study, the father and son talked about the battlefield situation, and at the end they talked about the marriage contract, and finally decided to let Zhou Ziyu avoid it, and Zhou Zhengyi came forward to solve the matter.
"You have also heard about the matter of Taiyuan, then I will not talk to you Mingren. Ziyu is gone, and the good luck is uncertain. I didn't mention the marriage contract to him. One is that the war is tight, and talking about these things will distract him, and second, this time on the battlefield, the sword and arrow have no eyes, I'm afraid of what ......, you know! ”
"Hey! I understand, I understand! ”
"Then you see, you are living in the capital with Qinglian? Or take Qinglian back and write to you when Ziyu comes back? ”
Zhou Xingshi's smile almost froze on his face, Lord Zhou's words, is it to drive him away?
So did he come for nothing?
Qinglian has not yet decided on a marriage, that is, she has no identity, that is, she is a fellow villager, if she doesn't go back, she will be entertained as a distant relative in the face of her ancestors. Qinglian's heartless and lungless one, I don't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I live here for a few more days, I feel homesick and crying, who cares? Maybe it's annoying.
However, although the eldest prince is gone, isn't there still a second son in this house! Zhou Xingshi's mind was spinning rapidly, and he had already thought about the next few steps. In order to make his children rich, he also fought hard.
"Lord Zhou, Qinglian is fifteen years old, and when she goes this way, she will be older."
"Hehe, brother, then you can stay in the capital for a few more days, and I'll let you take a walk around here to have a look."
"Thank you, Lord Zhou! Then I'll be respectful and obey! ”
Zhou Xingshi made up his mind, as long as Zhou Zhengyi didn't drive him away, their father and daughter would live here, and he would go to inspect the shops in the capital, with Lord Zhou's backstage, it would not be difficult to do business!
If it weren't for the early death of his father, he Zhou Xingshi would also have the opportunity to study for a few more years, maybe he would also be in the capital at this time, who asked for whom!
