Chapter 34: Comfort

When Nie Xiaofan came to the main courtyard, Lian was lying on Luo Han's bed for a nap, and when she learned that Nie Xiaofan was coming, she waved away the little girl who was beating her legs. Sit up again, Nie Xiaofan smiled, "Did you disturb your aunt?" Lian motioned for her to sit on the circle chair. Said lazily: "Why don't you sit with Sister Lian? I'm very boring here." Lian's voice was hoarse and a little desolate.

Is it for Nie Lian?

Nie Xiaofan said: "The eldest sister and Sister Lian are the best, and now they are chatting in one place." So I came to sit down with my aunt. ”

Lian Shi sighed, and then asked, "What about Yue'er?" Nie Xiaofan replied: "Before I came, I heard Sister Yue say that she wanted to take her second sister to play in the garden. Lian nodded, and beckoned Nie Xiaofan to eat tea. Still a little lazy. After greeting for a while, Nie Xiaofan cut to the topic: "Last time my grandmother gave my aunt a moon cake recipe, the master of Juxian Building could make a moon cake?

I don't know if it's Nie Xiaofan's delusion, she feels that Lian seems to be very reluctant to mention this matter. His brows furrowed. Lian Shi looked at her and was silent for a while, then sighed, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "I haven't given that recipe to Juxianlou yet" Nie Xiaofan was puzzled, why did she say the word 'give'?

Lian Shi took a sip of tea, refreshed a little more, and continued: "There is something that has bothered me for a few days. I thought about it, and I was afraid that I would only have to tell you" Nie Xiaofan listened attentively, and Lian slowly explained the ownership of the Lianjia Juxian Building to Nie Xiaofan. Another sentence said the current predicament: "You also know that the old lady and the old lady can't count on it. But now that Brother An and Sister Lian are about to get married, this is a lot of money. Especially Sister Lian'er, although she is a concubine, but she is like this, if she doesn't give her more dowry, how can she have a better life in the future? Although I have a few other Zhuangzi, I really can't do it now that I have lost Juxian Building!"

Nie Xiaofan pondered for a long time, this is indeed a very tricky question. The Lian family wants to raise such a large family, just looking at the furnishings of the West Mansion, it is much more luxurious than the East Mansion. It's all money. At present, it is absolutely not enough to rely on the weak property she has purchased over the years. Without Juxian Building, Lian's is a widowed mother who guards her children and lives a difficult life, and there is no longer the scenery of the past! Lian's has always been kind to Nie Xiaofan, and Nie Xiaofan is also willing to share her worries: "What can my aunt do?"

Lian hesitated for a while, and said: "This matter is still confidential for the time being, and I agreed with him to wait for Brother An'er to marry before officially transferring the ownership to him." I suppose the old lady and the old lady found out about this?"

"Never!" Nie Xiaofan said hurriedly, in order to live a good life here, she had already secretly figured out the people around her. Therefore, at this time, Lian's proposed this idea, and Nie Xiaofan immediately vetoed it: "This move is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, aunt and cautious!" If Lian's asks Old Lady Nie for help, he will definitely not sit idly by, he has been an official for decades, and naturally has his connections. At that time, it will be easy to put pressure on a wealthy businessman from other places to take back Juxian Building!

But! There is everything, but! Old lady Nie snatched back Juxian Mansion and will definitely not return it to the Lian family. Moreover, the Lian clan will still turn against his brother, and when the Lian clan loses the protection of his mother's family, how can he compete with the old lady Nie? According to the old lady Nie's consistent temperament, I am afraid that several Zhuangzi under the name of the Lian clan will be snatched by her! Wouldn't this be a loss for the lady and a soldier?

Lian Shi also understood this result when she thought about it, she shook her head and said: "But what can I do? My dear brother and sister! He is trying to force me to death!" Nie Xiaofan felt that Lian's idea was a bit too radical, since he had explained from the beginning that she was given Juxian Lou to marry just so that she could be looked down upon in the capital, so as to lay a foundation for the Lian family to enter the capital. Now that the eldest man of the family has taken back Juxian Building, although it is a little unsympathetic, the reason for taking it back is also very sufficient. After all, Lianjia Juxianlou has been inherited for a hundred years, relying on the article of dividing the family and not dividing the property!

But Nie Xiaofan is not the Holy Mother, she sees the blow of Juxian Building to the Lian clan in her eyes, since she has decided to form an alliance with the Lian clan, then she should find a way to tide over the difficulties with the Lian clan. Instead of standing on the moral high ground to condemn her. Nie Xiaofan said: "Now my uncle wants to take back Juxian Building, although it is reasonable. But you have taken care of Juxian Building for so many years, and we don't care about the hard work. Just looking at the grand occasion of Juxian Building today, you also have a lot of credit, auntie."

Nie Xiaofan's words won the approval of Lian's family. Over the years, she has married into the Nie family, and her husband is ridiculous and lustful, and she can't count on it. She except for the children. Almost devoted to the business of Juxian Building. Her favorite day is every year on the anniversary of the opening of Juxian Building, when she stands on Juxian Building and says thank you to all the diners with high spirits. Then it was announced that Juxian Building was free today. The applause of the diners in Juxian Building can resound throughout the street. It was the happiest day of the year. Happier than her birthday. But next year's anniversary celebration next year, standing in Juxian Building is estimated to be a certain shopkeeper or her black-hearted brother, Lian will never tolerate such a thing!

Nie Xiaofan looked at Lian's thoughtfulness, and said: "In my opinion, you might as well discuss with your uncle and give you some dividends every year."

Of course, Lian also thought about it, but Juxianlou was like her other child. She said, "Why don't I think about it? It's just that there has never been such a precedent!" Lian Shi paused, and then said: "Xiaofan, my aunt knows that you are a good boy." In this matter, my aunt has already thought of a way. Whether it can be done or not depends on you."

Nie Xiaofan was stunned for a moment! It's all up to me? After going around for a long time, is this the real purpose? Nie Xiaofan said: "Auntie, listen to me first." You took the dividends of Juxian Building. With so many years of experience in business, you can start from scratch."

"No!" Lian said, she and Nie Xiaofan had different ideas. Nie Xiaofan felt that she was only in her thirties, and after taking a little dividend from Juxian Building, she could make a comeback with her past experience. Ke Lian thinks that she is in her thirties, and her sons are all people who are about to get married. First, she was reluctant to come to Juxian Building, and secondly, she thought that she would wait for her son to take the test and become a family, so that she could live the life of an old lady with peace of mind in Juxian Building!

This generation gap is too difficult to cross. Lian said: "Xiaofan, Juxian Building is my hard work for many years. Can you help me? As long as you say something for me in front of Mrs. Zhou" Nie Xiaofan said in her heart that this was indeed the idea, and she interrupted Lian's words: "Auntie is confused, Mrs. Zhou is the mother of the prime minister of the dynasty, how can she care about other people's family property disputes? I can understand my aunt's reluctance to Juxianlou's thoughts, but there is a saying, 'The lesser of two evils'. If the aunt is for a Juxian Building, she has a dislike with her uncle. In the future, if the old lady has any more confused thoughts, the aunt may parry?"
