The family quarreled at the dinner table and didn't talk clearly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was still like this, Sima Liang only cared about eating with his head bored and did not participate in the private affairs of the Tang family.

After leaving the table, he talked to his subordinates. Let Tang Chong almost do, he has something to talk about here.

Because he had just eaten and drunk, Sima Liang waited in the side room.

At this time, he began to think about Tang Chong's possible situation in the past few days.

The other party went to Ningcheng with his family on September 14 and came back on September 17.

It was supposed to be there yesterday, but when the children returned, he didn't.

"Maybe it's business, something is going on."

Sima Liang felt that it might be a few major families who had made a move. He has not officially opened the mansion yet, and the court will officially send people over in the future. So the other party did not dare to blatantly move himself.

But on his father-in-law's side, he can use "legitimate" commercial means to attack.

This method is inexplicable. Even if you know, it's hard to say anything.

"Hopefully it's not a big deal." Sima Liang could only pray, he didn't have much time and manpower to help deal with complicated things.

October 1st is approaching the salt release day, and I have to start preparing on September 27. In the past ten days, I have to be busy with the affairs of the Lu family, and I have to take time to pull the other two into the game. There's really not enough time.

With uneasiness, Sima Liang's fingers kept tapping on the tea table.

A whole hurried footsteps came, and Tang Chong walked in with a sad face.

"Your Highness, it's rude. Let you see the smile, the dog is really not angry, and you lose your face. "As soon as he came in, he made a salute.

Sima Liang waved his hand and signaled not to do so.

"Brother-in-law, it's really a little unusual. However, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and I think it is also those fox friends and dog friends who are harmed. I really can't do it, so I arranged for him to go to the northwest for some training. I guess I'll be able to look like a man. ”

"Your Highness, that's still not necessary. I've always had a child, and that's it. It's too far northwest for me to worry. Tang Chong was scared enough. Obviously, no matter how much he scolds this dog, he is still spoiled in his heart.

Sima Liang sighed and shook his head.

"Look at it, don't blame your brother-in-law for being like this, it's all spoiled by yourself. After he is older, you are old. Can you still talk about him? ”

Tang Chong was embarrassed when he said this. I thought: Lin'er really has to be disciplined well in the future, and it is a good choice to send her to school. It's Yancheng, there is no good school. If you want to send it, you can only send it to the Yang family, but this ......

Thinking about his son's future, he was full of worries.

Sima Liang saw that he was distracted, and he also knew that it was not easy to be a parent.

"Father-in-law, Lin'er's grade is not small, look for a strong house, and make a marriage contract first. First, let him know that he is not young, and second, if he has a strong father-in-law or lady, he can discipline him. After all, you and I are a little close, and sometimes it is not useful to speak. ”

These words made Tang Chong think about it carefully.

"Your Highness, there is indeed some truth in what you said. I used to be like this, and since I got married to your mother-in-law, I've really matured a lot. Then I'll start looking for the right person tomorrow and let's talk. ”

Combined with his own past, he actually felt that it made sense.

Sima Liang was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say. I thought: I'm kidding, how can I take it seriously. Forget it, Lin'er didn't know that I was the one who made the plan. It's him anyway.

After snickering, he looked at God's father-in-law.

"Father-in-law, how can my in-laws be so easy to find, let's think about it later. What is the situation in Ningcheng, and is there something wrong with the business. ”

Hearing the reminder, Tang Chong also came back to his senses and sighed.

"In terms of shipyards, with the help of King Ning, it has been bought and expanded. Although you haven't done it before, it's not too much of a problem to study for a few more days. It's just that my old profession is a little difficult to do. ”

He was full of sadness, thinking that the day he had delayed was also because of this.

"Which ones?"

"I guess so, except for a few old lords in Ningcheng and Yancheng, they are still fulfilling the contract, and the rest are in breach of contract."

"Originally, because of the withdrawal from Zhongdu, there was a lot of inventory backlog. In addition, a batch of sugarcane has just been harvested, and sugar needs to be refined. This sales channel is worrying. ”

Tang Chonglian sighed a few times.

Unlike his worries, Sima Liang was a little more relaxed. I thought: That's it? What do you think is a big deal?

Although it will be stockpiled for the time being, the sugar can still be stored for a while if it is stored properly. Besides, the country of Li is getting stronger and stronger now, and this kind of enjoyment is not as difficult as before.

After this period of time, Sima Liang was confident that he would solve the problem.

But he couldn't act too relaxed, so he could only pretend to be embarrassed.

"It's a bit of a hassle, but I'm busy with things at hand. I can't help you father-in-law for the time being. ”

Tang Chong stared at Sima Liang for a while, then sighed again. I thought to myself: Why didn't Your Highness help me? Isn't it bad enough for my old face to cry?

Sima Liang knew what the other party meant, and in order to avoid trouble, he complained again and again.

"You don't know, I've been tired these days. It's the third princess again, the Lu family again, and the shipyard hasn't been able to get on the right track, but I'm worried to death. ”

His words were sincere, his expression was in place, and he almost burst into tears.

Tang Chong remained silent for a while, and then began to sigh again.

"Your Highness, you have worked hard. I really shouldn't have bothered you. Alas, I only blame myself for being useless, at this age, I can't even do my old job. He covered his face and his shoulders began to twitch as if he were crying.

Old fox, after so many years, still play this set for me? Sima was a little speechless, and the other party's crying was miserable.

He didn't bother to sing with each other anymore.

"Alright, okay, don't play this game. I really don't have time lately, and I'll help you solve it after this rush. ”

Hearing this, Tang Chong stopped crying.

He lowered his hand and smiled awkwardly.

"Your Highness, you are still so smart. I saw through my clumsy drama at a glance. ”

Looking at his father-in-law, Sima Liang was a little helpless.

The other party has little wisdom, but no big wisdom. Ambitious but not much. If you say it yourself, the other person will usually do it.

Where you should spend money, you won't save. But when it comes to taking advantage, I still like to take advantage of some.

It can only be said that it can come in handy for some, but it cannot be reused. This is also the reason why Sima Liang did not let the other party participate in the matter of Yancheng, because he was afraid that the other party would do bad things.

"Father-in-law, since business is not going well, you should stay at home and take care of Lin'er. If you have time, you can also look for the right person. By the way, you can also fall in love with your mother-in-law, although you are an old husband and wife, but this fun can still be some. ”

Tang Chong also knew what the other party meant, so he had to smile and agree.

After Sima Liang left, he looked at the room and sighed.

"I'm old, so I'm useless. As long as Guo'er is promised a good family, Lin'er's marriage will be finalized. I can also stop and live in peace. In the years I went to Zhongdu, I did snub Zhulan. Take advantage of this time to plan well. ”

Thinking of this, Tang Chong smiled contentedly.

He was a small businessman through and through, and he was content to have what he achieved now. In addition, there are children and daughters under his knees, and the two daughters are not bad to marry.

Now that King Yan is still taking care of him, his son and the remaining daughters will not be bad in the future.

It's normal to have a desire to quit.

Some people are happy for having both children and a good future. Some people are so angry that they can't sleep all night because of their unfilial piety.

In the Lu family's mansion, the lights are bright.

In the bright lobby, an old man with white hair and hair looked very energetic.

His brows furrowed as he looked at his son in front of him.

"Lu Dashao, you are so bold. I won't talk about printing silver tickets behind my back. also asked others to borrow money and went to Fengyue places to compete for the wind and be jealous. ”

Lu Qiu clutched his heart, so angry that he couldn't do it.

Seeing his old father like this, Lu Dashao was also a little unbearable, and stepped forward to comfort him.

"Dad, my Lu family has a lot of money, what is this money. It's the day of salt release soon, and it's the end of the trade of the country, where is the money spent. ”

This Lu Dashao is really good at talking, and Lu Qiu directly slapped him.

He gasped for air as he pointed at the other with trembling fingers.

"You, I don't want to see you."

"I'm so old, you still beat me. And every time it's a slap in the face, how do you tell me to meet people. ”

While Lu Dashao was angry, he looked at the people around him and felt that he had lost face.

After snorting coldly, he covered his face and left.

Lu Qiu clutched his heart and rested his head on the back of his chair.

"The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky."
