Chapter 21: Suspicion
On the second day, Liu Zhong returned to the old man and said, "I had a drink with the second shopkeeper last night, and after drinking, he confided everything. said that Boss Chen deliberately raised the price and did something about the contract. Of course, the eldest young master also knew about it, and the eldest young master originally wanted to make a fortune, so he naturally had to cooperate with Chen Pingyuan. But I don't know why, a few days ago, Chen Pingyuan received a letter from our young master Sun, and I didn't know what was written on the letter, which made Chen Pingyuan's face change sharply, and immediately asked him to enter Beijing to make amends to the old man first, and then personally escorted the tea into Beijing. ”
The old man was surprised, "Young Master Sun's letter to him?" Liu Qin? "Liu Qin is the eldest son of the eldest young master Liu Jiti, and he has the most gentle temperament, but he is more than gentle and not smart enough. The old man said, and shook his head again, "No, it won't be Liu Qin, could it be Liu An?" Liu An is very clever, but he doesn't have enough experience, so he doesn't dare to write to Chen Pingyuan. "Liu An is the eldest son of the second young master Liu Jiyu, and he also helps in the store. It's just that even if he Liu Qinglin personally sent the letter, the old fox may not sell it, let alone Huangkou Xiaoer? Come to think of it, there must be fraud in it.
Liu Zhong's face was a little weird, and he hesitated for a moment and said, "The second shopkeeper said that it was our Young Master Yesun." ”
The old man's face was shocked, and he suddenly glared angrily, "Ridiculous, Ye'er just went to the south study, do you recognize a few words?" Besides, he had never known anything about the store, and even if he did, with his ...... Temperament, how can it be ...... It won't be him! The old man wanted to say that with his IQ, but he couldn't bear to say this, so he talked about his temperament, and just by saying it, he felt like he was deceiving himself, so he simply didn't say it.
Liu Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "However, listening to the tone of the second shopkeeper, it doesn't look like a lie. Besides, doesn't the old man feel suspenseful about this matter? Although we don't know Chen Pingyuan very well, but in the past, we heard from connoisseurs how greedy and arrogant he was, and the silver was obviously in hand, how could he be willing to spit it out and personally escort it into Beijing? ”
The old man nodded, habitually reaching out and pinching his chin, "What is written in that letter?" ”
"The second shopkeeper said that he hadn't seen it either, but he only looked at Boss Chen as if he was facing a great enemy, and when he heard it, he could barely stand up." Liu Zhongdao.
"That's weird." The old man sneered, "This letter must not be simple to make Chen Pingyuan so panicked. I'm afraid that there is a benevolent and righteous person who can't see it, because I know that I have always doted on Ye'er, so I used Ye'er's pen to write a letter, thinking that the letter must be full of threats and warnings, otherwise, how could the old fox be so sincerely afraid? "He has been in business for many years, and he has saved many people, and over the years, there have been many people who have come to repay him and solve problems for him, so this time, he also made such conjectures. This time, this person really did him a big favor, otherwise, the matter would be spread out, and it would be known that the descendants of the Liu family would join forces with outsiders to seek the silver of their old man, then his Liu family would become a shameful talk of the world. He wanted to know who the person who helped him was, but he also knew that some people in the martial arts did not leave their names, and if they wanted to know, they might not be able to find out. He shook his head slightly, it was a pity, he Liu Qinglin has always been gracious, but now he owes such a big favor, but he doesn't know who the benefactor is.
When Liu Zhong heard him say this, he thought that this was the only possibility. I heard what the second shopkeeper said last night, and I also thought it was incredible, how could Young Master Sun write to Boss Chen and let Boss Chen send back the tea so closely? Don't say that it's impossible for Young Master Ye, even if it's other Young Master Sun, it's not possible. Now that I've listened to the old man's explanation, I think that's probably it. As for the specific situation, we will not know until Chen Pingyuan sends tea to Beijing.
The old man calmed down, and suddenly a smiling face popped out of his head, and he immediately shook his head, how could it be her? She is just a poor woman, even if she has great courage, she doesn't dare to ask about things in the business field, besides, even if she asks, why does Chen Pingyuan care about her? It's just that he remembered that she actually retrieved the Golden Eagle Card from the Regent Palace, although the Golden Eagle Card fell into the hands of the guards of the Royal Palace, but the guards of the Royal Palace were not faster than ordinary catchers, and it was not easy to retrieve such a valuable thing from them.
In fact, when Long Yinle retrieved the Golden Eagle card, he was already suspicious in his heart, but at that time, because of the events that happened in the store one after another, he had no time to pay attention to it, and now he calmed down, thinking that the Miss Long family described by the matchmaker was really too far away from the one in the family.
He looked up at Liu Zhong and said, "You bring some gifts, go to the Long family, and knock on the side to find out what kind of person Young Grandma Ye Sun is at home." ”
Liu Zhong said in surprise: "Master, do you still need to ask about this matter?" On that day, the matchmaker came to say that matchmaker, I was also present, Sun Shao's grandmother's temperament is gentle and kind, and she treats people politely....."
Without waiting for Liu Zhong to finish speaking, the old man snorted coldly, "If you want to go, where is there so much nonsense?" "Gentle and kind? Be polite? Not to mention that she didn't fall red on her wedding night, just from the fact that she didn't say anything to him about the tea ceremony on the second day, it can be seen that she is not polite to others.
Although Liu Zhong didn't understand what the old man meant, since the old man had spoken, he could only follow it.
I just went to the Long family, but the door of the Long family was closed, and I asked the neighbors to know that the people of the Long family had moved to Nanhu, and before leaving, I told the neighbors that they had bought a big house in Nanhu. Liu Zhong is strange, this Long family is just a small family from a poor family, Long Laohan is a noodle stall, and the house in Nanhu is notoriously expensive, even if the Liu family exhausts the dowry given to them, they can't buy a big house in Nanhu.
With doubts, he left Longjia Village and went back to resume his life. The old man also felt strange, so when he returned home, he took advantage of everyone's meal and said intentionally or unintentionally: "By the way, Ye'er, your daughter-in-law has been married for so long, why didn't you listen to your daughter-in-law say that she wants to go back to her parents' house?" ”
Shoutou swallowed a mouthful of rice and looked at the old man suspiciously, "What do you mean by going back to your parents' house?" Fun isn't it? ”
Long Yinle took a few bites of rice, drank another sip of soup, raised his head and touched the old man's stern scrutinizing eyes, Hongyan just told her that the old man ordered someone to go to Longjia Village to ask her so-called mother's family about the situation. On that day, the young lady of the Long family was unwilling to marry a fool, so she ordered someone to give them a sum of silver, plus the dowry given to them by the Liu family, they agreed in a hurry, and packed up their baggage and left Longjia Village the next day. This is the end of the event, it is really that the silver wants her to see it fall into the pocket of Chen Pingyuan, the old horseman, and she is not convinced. She is now the honorary daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and after the old thing is braided, she can share a share of the family property, and about eight percent of this silver is hers, of course, Chen Pingyuan can't be greedy.
The old man originally wanted to ask Long Yinle, but he was embarrassed to ask directly, so he asked Long Yinle to answer by asking Shoutou, but Long Yinle was like a deaf person, and he didn't know whether he really couldn't hear or pretended not to hear.
He put down the dishes and chopsticks, he was very dissatisfied with Long Yinle's rudeness, and was about to accuse, but saw Long Yinle also put down the dishes and chopsticks, pulled Liu Ye and said, "Shoutou, let's go back to the room." ”
