Chapter 30 [Toad from Shen Cheng] (II)

After Steward Shi finished speaking, he looked at the handsome young man opposite, and suddenly thought that children at this age are often rebellious, and if he blindly presses him, he is afraid that it will backfire, and he suddenly regretted that his words were too explicit. So he took a breath and softened the lines on his face.

He said slowly: "Of course, the Shi family and the Yuan family once had a relationship after all, and when my lord was down, he did get some help from your father, and my lord and lady must have read this love." However, the marriage contract between you and my young lady was just a joke of the old man back then, and it should not be taken seriously. I see that you are also a very good teenager, and the family is also rich in wealth, what a good man does not do well, and a good girl is that you can marry a few houses with your father's property, and there is no need to find a family with a higher family than your Yuan family. ”

After a pause, Steward Shi said again: "If you have to be husband and wife with my young lady, then there will only be one of our young ladies in the family in the future, and it is not okay to marry a partial house and take a concubine, do you think this kind of life is very good? I think you are also a smart person when you speak, and smart people don't need to make trouble for themselves, right?"

Steward Shi felt that what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and his tone was gentle, if Yuan Lai still didn't agree, it would be too unreasonable. Especially when he said that he would take a concubine, Steward Shi couldn't help but think of Shi Gongdan, a person who has a lot of talent and learning, but what? Who let him marry the daughter of the Taishi? Now even if the old lady has stepped down and returned to the field, he has become an official to the court, but what about it? Still can't look at the face of the lady? Not to mention marrying a second room and taking a concubine, even if you let him linger in the Qinglou, he must have that courage!

As a man, Steward Shi was a little sad for his master for a moment, and then he saw the calm face of the young man opposite.

There was no anger and anger of being humiliated on that face, nor was there a blushing and uneasiness of inferiority, nor was there the expected obedience and respect, there was only calmness, and even a trace of ...... in that look Smile?

Steward Shi shook his head, feeling that he must have seen it wrong, even if he heard rumors that this young master of the Yuan family was an idiot and a fool, but even if he was a little stupid, he should understand what he meant, right?

However, Yuan Lai was really laughing, but he hid the smile in his heart, he was a little angry at first, but when the steward finished speaking, his anger disappeared.

Isn't it strange?

This kind of thing is actually very reasonable and legitimate, and how many people can do the six words, "Be rich and noble, don't forget each other"? Who can remember the promises made when they were down-and-out when they turned over and sang about them, and even when they became capitalist masters? Even if they did, who would fulfill them?

This is also the reason why Yuan Shoucheng is worth a lot of money, and Yuan Lai can get this still bright conversation. If his Yuan family is reduced to the lower ninth-rate people, then he dares to go to Beijing to find the Shi family, and if he is not directly thrown into the Lancang River with his leg broken, it will be considered merciful to the other party.

What's more, looking at this appearance, it seems that the Shi family is not Shi Shangshu's business, or Shi Shangshu knew it and didn't come forward, just let the lady come forward, after all, when the Yuan family is facing Mrs. Shi instead of Master Shi, the past love is even more useless, and the marriage contract for marriage is even more nothing.

This is the reality, Yuan Lai has seen a lot. So he is no longer the simple teenager who slaps the table and scolds for this kind of thing.

So Yuan Lai wasn't very angry, but just because he wasn't angry didn't mean he had to obey the other party's wishes.

"Are you done?" he asked faintly.

Steward Shi was stunned for a moment and said, "If you understand what our Shi family means, then it will be considered as a temporary finish." ”

"That's it for now...... Well, what else would you say if you continued?" asked Yuan Lai, who seemed to be interested.

"Continue?" Steward Shi was overjoyed, looking at the young man's face, he didn't seem to be the kind of person who really wanted to stalk him, if the Yuan family just used this marriage contract to exchange benefits for the Shi family, it would naturally be better. In that case, it would be easier for him to complete his errand, which would be a good thing.

But in addition to joy, Steward Shi looked at Yuan Lai with more disdain and disdain, if Yuan Lai stalked and flipped the table angrily, then although it was very troublesome and self-conscious, it showed that he was still a young man with backbone, even if he looked down on him, he could always appreciate the hard bones of the young man.

But obviously, the young man in front of him was just an indifferent philistine businessman, so philistine and so undignified at a young age, which made Steward Shi even more despised and even despised, but it was best to save himself trouble.

He put on a smiling face and said: "If we continue, then we can talk about the price, what do you want? Is it duty-free or a trade route, several officials in Jiangnan are also old friends with our master, if you want some business convenience, then our lady is still willing, after all, your father has helped ......."

"Is that all you have to say?" Yuan Lai suddenly waved his hand, interrupting Steward Shi's words.

"Huh?" Steward Shi looked at him with some puzzlement.

Yuan Lai smiled lazily, then straightened his body, and said to the man very seriously: "If it's just these, then there is no need to talk about it." ”

"What do you mean?" Steward Shi felt a little uneasy.

"I mean, if you're just going to talk to me about business, then go without saying, I'm not a businessman, my dad is. Yuan Lai smiled, stood up very gracefully, dusted off his clothes, and then said, "As for you...... Mr. Butler, if there is nothing else, you can get out of here, don't send it!"

You can roll, don't send!

As soon as these words landed, Steward Shi didn't react immediately, and it wasn't until Yuan Lai turned his head and walked five steps that Steward Shi suddenly reacted!

He was so angry that his face suddenly turned black, he slapped the table hard, stood up and said loudly, "You dare! You dare to talk to me like this?!"

"Oh, that's what I said to you, what's the matter? You bite me!" Yuan Lai chuckled lightly and said, "I know that you are the chief butler of Shangshu Mansion, and the position of housekeeper is a servant in my impression, and I, nominally, I am still Uncle Shi's nephew and your young lady's fiancé, so nominally, I am still your little master, why am I talking to you like this?

Steward Shi was so angry that he pointed at Yuan and couldn't speak.

"If you don't speak, you'll be happy. Yuan Lai smiled and greeted, "Come on! Send off guests!"

After shouting, he was just about to leave, and suddenly remembered something and said: "Oh, by the way, I went to the street yesterday to find a diviner, tomorrow is a good day, it is better to travel, it is better to marry...... You bring a letter to Uncle Shi, and say that Yuan will come to see you tomorrow, and you won't see you or leave. ”
