Chapter Forty-Eight: A Few Families Rejoice
Zhang Tianci was beaten by his mother.
In the past, when he went to Chunyan Tower, he was quiet, and even if he was seen, he would not make a big fuss. Although his wife suspected that he had gone, there was no evidence.
This time, he dedicated himself to business and went to Chunyan Tower with great fanfare, lest others not know, so naturally he couldn't hide it from his wife. It is not a big problem for Ming men to go to Qinglou, especially businessmen, which is also the reason why the Zhang family lady turned a blind eye in the past.
But this time is different, Zhang Tianci is so fanfare, the key is to go out and come back, and he went directly to Chunyan Lou without even entering the house, which is equivalent to a note posted on the door of his head: "My mother is a tigress, and the relationship between the two of us is not harmonious, and the sex-life is not harmonious!" ”
Zhang Tianci didn't dare to fight back, and he didn't dare to tell the truth in front of his servants. Because Xiao Feng repeatedly told him that the success or failure of this matter was kept secret! So I was beaten by a full set of fat, and I was miserable. It was not until the dead of night that the lady was discouraged, and Zhang Tianci quietly said Xiao Feng's instructions in the bed.
I heard that Lang Jun was a prostitute, and the anger of the Zhang family lady disappeared immediately. She began to regret that she had done too much, and she couldn't help but gently soothe her. Zhang Tianci worked hard and spent the happiest night since the wedding night.
Before dawn the next day, Zhang Tianci went out of the city in the crowd. The lady of the Zhang family announced to the public that Xianggong was sick and wanted to recuperate at home for a few days. The business district in the capital laughed loudly, saying that he was sick, or he was beaten hard by his mother and couldn't get up. Either he was placed under house arrest by his mother, and he could only be released after paying enough food at home for a few days.
Tan Xinren, as the president of the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Tianci's number one opponent, naturally had to be ridiculed. However, some people found that he was not smiling so happily, as if Zhang Tianci was beaten and he was distressed, which was very strange.
So there were strange rumors that Tan Xinren was bent on killing Zhang Tianci, but in fact, he was in love and killed each other. His purpose may not be to get Zhang Yunqing, but to ......
Liu Tong's promotion order finally came down, and he went to work in the household department to meet the new peak of his career. As Lang Zhong, he has his own independent room, instead of having several people share a room like Wai Lang. That is, he achieved office freedom!
He was full of spring breeze all the way, and frequently greeted people passing by, and everyone thought he was lucky and wanted to get lucky, so they were very enthusiastic to talk to him. At this moment, a cold snort sounded: "Liu Shilang, are you very proud of your son-in-law's promotion?" ”
Everyone was stunned, Liu Tong raised his head, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat, it was the left waiter of the household department who challenged him, and the second-in-command of the household department talked about the same. I saw Tan Tong standing with horizontal eyebrows, his face full of frost, and grinning teeth, as if he had a hatred for Liu Tong to take his wife.
Liu Tong has just been promoted from the outsider, and he is weak in the face of other langzhong, not to mention the left-in-command who is the second-in-command. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Adults are really joking, where is this?" ”
Tan Tong couldn't wait to bite off a piece of his meat, gritted his teeth and said: "Your good son-in-law, first made a lot of money from sorghum, and by the way, let you pick up credit and be promoted to Langzhong." Now he is using glutinous rice to harm other grain merchants and disrupt the market, do you dare to say that you don't know? ”
Liu Tong was shocked, thinking that he was really sitting at home behind closed doors, and the pot came from the sky, so he hurriedly cleared it up: "My lord doesn't know, although Xiao Feng has had a baby kiss with my family, but after his father died, the two families have negotiated amicably and dissolved the marriage contract." He had never been to Xiaguan's house, and no one in Xiaguan's house had ever come into contact with him. If he commits a traitor, the lord only has to do it, and the subordinate will never complain. ”
Tan Tong's face was a little kind, he had also heard some things about Liu Tong and Xiao Feng's disagreement, but last night he heard Tan Xinren's report that he fell for Xiao Feng's futures contract trick and suffered heavy losses. He didn't understand what futures were, he only knew that Tan Xinren's Shengshi Grain Bank had lost a lot of money, and this year's dividends were worrisome.
Although Tan Xinren has two other businesses, they all have different backers, and Tan Xinren does not dare to transfer the money earned from those two places to the grain store. So no matter whether Tan Xinren earns money this year or not, the hard days of Tan Tong are over. Tan Tong was furious, and just saw Liu Tong, so naturally Liu Tong touched his head.
Now listening to Liu Tong's resoluteness, it seems that it really has nothing to do with him, and half of Tan Tong's anger has disappeared. He was about to turn around and leave, when a foreigner whispered: "Lord Liu, yesterday my servant went to the main street to buy, saying that he saw your son-in-law Liu Peng and took the maid to the Xiao family, how can you say that there is no contact?" ”
Tan Tongshu turned around and glared at Liu Tong angrily.
Liu Tong was speechless for a moment, and pointed to the outsider who was probably jealous of his promotion: "How can you smear people's innocence out of thin air?" Even if there is such a thing, Peng'er is still a child, a child, well, a child's thing, can it be considered contact? ”
After all, Liu Tong was already a Langzhong, and the outsider didn't dare to confront it openly, but just lowered his head and snickered. Lang Zhong has his own responsibility, anyway, Liu Tong can't control him, he is not afraid.
Liu Tong used his momentum to suppress his opponent and won a chance to breathe, so he wanted to explain to the conversation: "My lord, the dog is stubborn, and it is possible to run around while going out to play." The subordinate must be strictly disciplined when he goes back. But Xia Guan didn't lie, so Xiao Feng has indeed never been to Xia Guan's house since the dissolution of the marriage contract......
A principal happened to pass by nearby, he had a good relationship with Liu Tong, and when he saw Liu Tong from afar, he greeted him: "Lord Liu, the lower official went out to do errands, and when I passed by your mansion, I saw Xiao Feng coming to your mansion with gifts!" ”
Liu Tong almost held back his breath. Tan Tong's face turned into pig liver color, pointed at Liu Tong, couldn't speak for a long time, turned around and brushed his sleeves away. Liu Tong wanted to cry without tears, and the good mood of the promotion was swept away, and he couldn't wait to go down immediately, rush back to grab Xiao Feng, a little brute, and ask him what good things he had done, so he had to burden himself.
But after all, it was the first day of promotion, and he was late and left early on the first day, which was too unusual, so Liu Tong stayed in the yamen until the time of the yamen. The miscellaneous officer just shouted half a sentence: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to go down to the office...... Liu Tong jumped up like a fire burning his buttocks, and he couldn't care about his demeanor, and ran home with his legs like hot wheels.
Everyone in the family is normal, only the housekeeper looks at him with frowns. Liu Tong held his breath, pulled the housekeeper aside, and asked about the situation.
"Master, that Xiao Feng is a polite person, knowing that the master is not at home, he refuses to enter the second door, but he just puts down the gift and chats with his wife through the curtain. He brought Qiaoqiao with him, and the lady gave Qiaoqiao a few pieces of candy, and that's all. ”
Liu Tong breathed a sigh of relief, although Xiao Feng came to the door to make him very unhappy, but Xiao Feng is a nerd, and his family affairs are gone, after all, he had a relationship with his father back then, and when he walks around, others won't gossip.
Later, when Xiao Feng was about to leave, the young lady rushed out of the back hall and met Xiao Feng. The young lady ran too fast, and the maid and the lady didn't pull it, and knocked the curtain off, so the lady and Xiao Feng were also like meeting......"
Liu Tong gritted his teeth angrily and strode towards the backyard, with an angry posture and a posture of not giving up.
The housekeeper hesitated: "Master, it's time for dinner, is it time to eat?" ”
Liu Tong's footsteps slowed down, and then stopped, and he popped out a few words from between his teeth: "Open the meal, let's talk about the big thing after eating!" ”
