By this time it was already late at night, there were no pedestrians on the streets, and the silk village was ready to close.

Amber and Zhu Mingyu looked towards the door, only to see a gorgeously dressed girl slowly walking into the door with the support of two maids. Her expression was cold, and she had all kinds of precious hairpin ornaments on her head, and even the patterns on her clothes were embroidered with gold thread. Amber noticed that the woman's face was somewhat similar to Zhu Mingyu's.

Looking at the woman who walked in, Zhu Mingyu said in surprise, "Xiaoxiao?? ”

The person who came was his own sister, Zhu Xiaoxiao. He has two younger sisters, the eldest sister Zhu Xiaoxiao, who is eighteen this year, and the second sister Zhu Zi, who is fifteen this year. I felt a little emotional, the last time I saw my sister was three years ago, and I haven't seen her for three years, and Xiaoxiao has become a big girl.

Shopkeeper Hao stepped forward and said, "Young owner, you are here." ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Hao, it's not early, you should rest early." ”

"Okay, your brother and sister talk slowly...... Shaodong, I still have to say it, what's the matter, it's also your own brother. ”

"I know what I know."

When Shopkeeper Hao and the guys left, Zhu Mingyu looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you for three years, big girl." ”

Different from Zhu Mingyu's cordiality, Zhu Xiaoxiao's expression was much indifferent, she sat on the main seat and asked, "What are you doing in Chang'an?" ”

"Hehe," Zhu Mingyu was a little embarrassed, "do something." ”

At this time, Zhu Xiaoxiao finally looked at Zhu Mingyu with a straight eye, but she was staring, her eyes were full of disdain.

"You walked around the shop in the afternoon, and you asked for money when you entered the door. spread out, making people think that the eldest young master of the Zhu family had caused something. Every year, my father gives Qingfeng Guan a lot of money, what's the matter? Not enough to spend? ”

"You wait a while," Zhu Mingyu said, "Let's not talk about money first, Xiaoxiao, why did you become a young owner?" ”

"Dad is old, he can't control it, and the other men in the clan can't take the lead, I don't care who cares? Of course, I can't manage it myself, but fortunately I have your brother-in-law to help. ”

"Brother-in-law??" This surprised Zhu Mingyu even more, "What brother-in-law?" ”

"My husband, what's the matter? Don't you know? ”

"I ...... I don't know, when did you get married? ”

"Last August."

Yes, I was in the Idler's Hall last August.

Zhu Mingyu felt very embarrassed, although he was a monk, he didn't say that he really left the family relationship behind. My sister got married, but I didn't know what my brother-in-law was, and I didn't know what my surname was, which made Zhu Mingyu feel uncomfortable.

Zhu Xiaoxiao said: "It's just the Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of places to spend money, and I can't take out spare money. If you really need money, go back to Huazhou to find your father. ”

He didn't dare to go back to Huazhou.

Zhu Mingyu knew in his heart that Zhu Xiaoxiao was holding her breath in her heart. When he was a child, his two younger sisters were very clingy to him, even if he went to Qingfeng Temple with his master later, but every time he went home, his two sisters greeted each other with a smile on their faces, and they cared about him as an elder brother. In the past few years, the family has begun to urge marriage, he hid and did not go home, missed his sister's marriage, and it is normal for people to be angry.

Zhu Mingyu begged in a low voice: "Xiaoxiao, it's not good for my brother...... But my brother really needs money right now. ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao picked up the tea, and said without raising her head: "No." ”

At this time, a young man dressed in a scholar's costume walked into the store.

"Xiaoxiao......" The young man opened his mouth and called Zhu Xiaoxiao's name, only to find that there were other people in the store, so he asked, "Who are these two?" ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao replied: "This is my brother, Zhu Mingyu." I don't know this either. ”

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly made a gesture and said politely: "It turns out that you are your uncle, and you haven't paid a visit yet, forgive me, forgive me." ”

Zhu Mingyu hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother-in-law is polite, uh...... I don't know where my brother-in-law is? What's your last name? ”

That's an awkward question.

The young man replied: "I am a person from Chang'an, surnamed Zhou, and a single name is Jin." ”

Zhou Jin? Zhu Mingyu thought about it, where have you heard this name?

Zhu Xiaoxiao watched her husband and her brother officially meet, the expression on her face became more and more disgusted, and said: "Money, there is no money, you don't have to work hard, let's go, it's time to close the door." ”

Zhu Mingyu didn't give up, and continued to beg: "Xiaoxiao, is it okay for Brother to borrow from you?" I'll pay you back when I get back. ”

"Borrow?" Zhu Xiaoxiao sneered, "I heard about it in the afternoon, and you will ask for two thousand taels when you open your mouth." Zhu Mingyu, you cultivators asked if they don't touch the fireworks of the world, two thousand taels, is it a small amount? I can't take out this money. ”

Seeing what Zhu Mingyu wanted to say, Zhu Xiaoxiao said: "Don't say two thousand taels, there are no two hundred taels." You are such an unfilial person, and you still have the face to ask for money? ”

There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. Zhu Mingyu didn't have a temper at all.

Zhu Xiaoxiao said again: "I'm angry with you, guess what?" The year before last, my father had a serious illness and sent someone to Zhongnan Mountain to find you, hoping that you would go home to marry and give your father Chong Chong joy. And what about you? Closed door, dad almost passed in one breath that year! Back then, you were weak and sickly, and you went to the mountain to cultivate in order to cure your illness, and you knew that you didn't want to return to the world, so it was better to let you die of illness! Last year, after my father recovered from his illness, he left the root cause of his illness and couldn't take care of the family's business. Of the twenty stores in Chang'an, eighteen fell overnight. How did you support the Zhu family's business? It's your sister who married the Chang'an Zhou family! I got up with the help of others! ”

Zhou Jin looked embarrassed, as if their Zhou family was taking advantage of the danger.

After Zhu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, Zhu Mingyu suddenly remembered: Zhou Jin, the son of Zhou Junhong, a wealthy businessman in Chang'an. If there is any other family in this world whose financial resources can wrestle with the God of Golden Wealth, it is only the Zhou family.

Zhu Mingyu looked at Zhou Jin, squinted his eyes and asked, "It was your Zhou family who used this to blackmail my father to marry my sister?!" ”

Zhou Jin couldn't argue, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no!" Uncle, what you said ......"

Zhu Xiaoxiao interrupted Zhou Jin's words, glared at Zhu Mingyu and said, "What kind of martial arts can you do?" Take your rivers and lakes to deal with your own family?? Let me tell you, I am still in charge of half of the Zhu family now, if you dare to speak disrespectfully to my husband, I will remove you from the family tree! Spring! Autumn Moon! Drop-off! ”

The two maids walked up to Zhu Mingyu and whispered, "Young Master, Miss is in a bad mood today, so you can go first." ”

Zhu Mingyu was helpless, the words had come to this point, so he had to leave first with amber.

When Zhu Mingyu came out of the silk village, Zhu Xiaoxiao showed a tired face. Zhou Jin gently put his palm on her stomach and comforted: "Xiaoxiao, don't be angry, it's not good to have fetal gas." ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao looked at Zhou Jin, her eyes were full of love, and she whispered: "When I see him now, I won't be angry." ”

Zhou Jin smiled bitterly: "I know you want him to feel guilty, but you can't put your husband and me on board?" I don't remember to go to your house to force my husband. ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Don't you want to suffer this little grievance?" ”

"Yes, yes...... However, my uncle should really be in trouble, so I should help. Autumn Moon. ”

A maid walked up to Zhou Jin and asked, "Master, what's the matter?" ”

"Go to the carriage and take a silver ticket of two thousand taels and send it to my uncle."

Zhu Xiaoxiao twisted her eyebrows and asked, "You really gave him money?" His gang of friends in the rivers and lakes are indiscriminate, who knows what bad things to do with money? You didn't see the woman who came with him, I didn't dare to look at her from beginning to end, her eyes were so scary. ”

Zhou Jin waved his hand and said, "What do you say about the collapse of eighteen shops overnight, what else depends on the Zhou family to avoid ruining the family." If it weren't for the help of your Zhu family, the Zhou family would have sold the land last year...... No matter how you say it, it's your own brother, forget about the lesson. ”

Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded Zhou Jin's forehead with a smile and said, "You can pay this money yourself, don't touch my little treasury." ”

"Understood."

…

Zhu Mingyu was a little depressed.

He asked himself: Zhu Mingyu, do you like to cultivate? I don't like it, if it weren't for the master forcing him to memorize those classics, he wouldn't have read a word if he was killed. The reason why I don't go home to get married, to put it bluntly, is that I am afraid of trouble and that someone will take care of me in the future. Isn't it good to be on your own?

It's not good, their Zhu family has a sale, and they are not ordinary people's children. Besides, even if it's a child of an ordinary family, it has to be passed on to the next generation, right?

Amber followed Zhu Mingyu's side, wanting to speak and stopping.

Zhu Mingyu looked at Amber and asked, "Amber, do you want to say something?" ”

"Well," Amber nodded, "Daoist Mingyu, you are still vulgar, go home and get married." ”

"Huh?" Zhu Mingyu smiled, "Do you think I should do this too?" ”

Amber replied: "I don't have a father, I heard Grandpa Li say that there was a drought in the year I was born, and many people did not have enough to eat. My father and mother sold me after giving birth to me, and at first I always thought that I was selling me to someone else's family as a daughter, but later I found out that I was sold to someone else to eat...... I thought at that time, if my parents didn't sell me, but raised me, I would do whatever they wanted me to do. Aunt Zhou raised me and Miss, although she kept calling her aunt, we all regarded her as a mother. If I upset Aunt Zhou one day, Miss will definitely teach me a lesson. ”

"You mean...... Do you want to be filial? ”

"Not really...... Ah, I can't tell you clearly, I always feel that having a father is happier than not having a father. Besides, your father and mother just let you get married, and didn't force you to do anything else. ”

Zhu Mingyu thought for a while, and then asked: "Amber, do you think that if people want to get married, do they have to find someone they like." ”

"Of course, if you don't like it, then why be together. It's going to take a lifetime, it's decades, and if you don't like it, isn't that torturing each other? ”

Zhu Mingyu wanted to cry without tears, what he wanted was to take money from his own business, and then let Li Fenglan promise him to pursue amber. Of course, Li Fenglan is Amber's sister at best, but he feels that as long as Li Fenglan nods, this matter will be stable. Now it's okay, the money hasn't arrived, and I'm embarrassed to talk to Li Fenglan.

At this time, Zhu Mingyu heard hurried footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Zhu Xiaoxiao's maid Qiu Yue running towards them.

"Young Master! Master! ”

Chunhua Qiuyue grew up with Zhu Xiaoxiao since childhood, and they are also very familiar with Zhu Mingyu.

Zhu Mingyu asked, "Qiuyue?" Can I help you? ”

Qiu Yue gasped and said, "Uncle, aunt asked me to give this to you." ”

As he spoke, he handed a stack of silver tickets to Zhu Mingyu.

Zhu Mingyu looked at the silver ticket and wondered: "What is this?" ”

"Young master, you take it. Our aunt's kindness. ”

Zhu Mingyu shook his head and said, "I can't ask for the Zhou family's money. ”

"Young master," Qiu Yue said bitterly, "Miss said angry words just now, and my uncle likes Miss very much." When Miss was fourteen or fifteen years old, he often went to our house to propose marriage, and Miss never wanted to marry because you haven't married a wife yet. But last year, the lord was sick again, and you couldn't find anyone, so the young lady married the aunt so that the lord could be happy. The two of them are very affectionate. ”

Zhu Mingyu was suspicious: "Really? Is this guy surnamed Zhou really good to your young lady? ”

"It's all too good, you know Miss's temper, others say that she is a lady in charge. After arriving at Zhou's house, my uncle took care of most of the business in Guanzhong to the young lady. It wasn't until the young lady was pregnant that the uncle didn't let the young lady interfere, for fear that she would be tired. ”

"What?" Zhu Mingyu was shocked, "I only got married in August last year, and your young lady is pregnant?" ”

Qiu Yue looked at Zhu Mingyu like a fool: "Can't you?" ”

“…… Yes...... I took the money and told your aunt that I would pay it back. ”

"Take it, why do you say so much? Young master, I have to say a few words to you, you are not too young. If it weren't for you, Miss would have gotten married a few years ago, and it dragged on until last year, what would outsiders say about our Miss? You don't think about yourself, you think about the old lady, right? Now that the second lady has grown up, will it be delayed until she is eighteen or nineteen years old? ”

Zhu Mingyu scratched the back of his head and said, "I know...... You go back and tell your young lady that when I finish my work in Chang'an, I'll go home. ”

It's done, I can talk to Li Fenglan about the conditions.
