"Get down to business. ”

Fox Qi let out a complaining "oh", and had to continue:

"Those young masters and young ladies are different from ordinary people, their social circles and contacts are very limited, and the scope of activities and whereabouts are not so difficult to investigate. But the three major yamen can't find anything, which is very strange. It is possible to make a feud with someone or to encounter a bad man, but whether it is kidnapping a ticket or being plotted by someone, there will always be news about whether you are dead or alive! However, the strange thing about this case is that there is no clue at all, and it is strange that no one dies or dies in life, and there is no corpse, is it very strange?"

"It's a little strange to hear you say that. ”

Yan Shuling frowned slightly: "Since there is no clue, then where do we start?"

"There's no hurry. ”

Fox Qi rubbed her leg with a smile and said flatteringly: "These Jianghu warlocks are very appreciative, and they will definitely rush to visit around the capital. Wouldn't it be easier for us to play for a few days first, and then go and cut off the beard when they have almost checked it?"

Yan Shuling smiled: "Just count you smart." ”

"Things that have to do with money must be clever!"

——

Early that morning, Mrs. Xu went out to reconcile with the account of the grain store.

Shen Li's notoriety is not in vain, she really went to press Shen Xiaolin, who was drunk and crazy, to the ground and beat her up last night, but she woke up this morning and couldn't even get out of bed.

Speaking of the eldest young master in the second room, he is really a waste wood who doesn't learn and has no skills, and feels that Lao Tzu is the best in the world when he drinks.

The second master of the Shen family, Shen Wenzheng's original wife, died early, and Shen Xiaolin Xingsan, who was born to Mrs. Xu Xian in order of eldest and youngest, because his two half-brothers were passed on to the long house, he became the boss of the second room, and he was favored since he was a child, and he was powerful at home.

The rule of the Shen family is that the eldest son of the long house inherits the family business. At the beginning, Shen Wenxian, the head of the Changfang family, had a soft spot for Xu Zhao, but Shen's mother had always objected, and the marriage of the Changfang was delayed for several years. According to the local rules, the eldest son does not get married, so the younger brothers and sisters below can't get married and wait.

Xu Zhao is a foreigner.

I heard that she was born in a scholarly family, her grandfather and father were both big officials in Beijing, she is the only daughter in the family, and the family who is married to Xu is also a family of eunuchs. It's just that her life is the day of marriage, she was sacked by a group of mountain bandits, and her husband died when he fought with the bandits.

Maybe it's fate, Shen Wenxian, the eldest young master of the landlord's family, somehow took a fancy to this widow who was called Kefu Broom Star and three years older than himself, and insisted on marrying home as a wife, and she didn't marry.

Of course, this family affair was finally completed, but the rule of the "eldest son and eldest grandson" of the Shen family's ancestors was broken by the second master - when the eldest young master Shen Wenxian and Xu Zhao got married, although the second young master Shen Wenzheng had not yet married, the son born to Yahuan in private was already three years old, running all over the ground to call his father, and he couldn't hide it anymore.

Shen's mother is the most decent, and in the face of these two unconscious sons, she had to let Shen Wenzheng marry Na Yahuan first, and then pass the child to Changfang, which is barely the best of both worlds. Later, the second lady, who finally got the name, was also fatal, and died after giving birth to Shen Xiaohai. Because Xu Zhao of Changfang has not given birth, Shen Wenzheng also sent the child to Changfang, and married a girl with a similar family background and beautiful skin as a daughter-in-law.

Now that the young master who saw his heart and liver baby was beaten, these two people came to the door early in the morning and blocked the head of the family, Master Shen, in the house.

But today's Shen Li is very abnormal, Ren the two of them sang and drank and scolded so much that her mouth frothed, not only did she not reply, but she didn't even say a word from beginning to end, pretending to be deaf and dumb, like facial paralysis.

If only one party is arguing all the time, it will not last long. Especially the second master, a simple peasant man, has a straight heart and a stupid mouth, and the second wife can't read a few words, scolding and scolding horizontally and vertically, and he feels annoyed in less than half an hour, so this originally vigorous Xingshi questioning soon ended hastily in Master Shen's extremely good attitude of admitting mistakes.

Master Shen personally sent the two away, and when he came back, he found that Shen Li, who was still looking like a dead man just now, was lying on the Taishi chair and biting an apple casually, looking very arrogant, and couldn't help but say angrily:

"You damn girl, don't you usually have a good mouth, why are you dumb today?"

"What do you have to say to two bullshit bastards. ”

"You stinky kid!"

Master Shen glared at her, and pulled her up from the chair: "Saying such bastard words, you want to rebel? How can you say that you are also your elders, and you don't even have the least respect? Where is your upbringing? Have you usually read so many books in vain? Is it so difficult to bow your head and admit your mistakes?"

"But I'm right!"

Shen Li said lightly: "Whether a person is worthy of respect or not depends not on how old he has lived and how many children he has, but on his moral cultivation and knowledge, right?

Master Shen's movements froze, and after thinking about it, he felt that it made sense. At that time, his momentum was half a point shorter, but he still taught him a lesson: "It's not right to beat people! Your mother said that you have to be reasonable in life, how can you just beat people casually?"

"Dad, that fool is too drunk! You don't even know anyone, and you still let me reason with him?...... Meng Qingyi is such a decent and knowledgeable person, and he was beaten like that, he didn't care about being an in-law, and there was trouble in our house on his face?

“...... That's right. ”

Master Shen's name of 'spoiled wife madman' for so many years is really not in vain. Moreover, he not only spoiled his daughter-in-law, but also his daughter--in his own words, who told people to be good-looking and well-read, and always speak reasonably.

Pet to favor, although Shen Li has been naughty since he was a child, Mrs. Xu's discipline is also extremely strict. It's just that the education method may be a bit special: it is okay to be domineering and domineering, but you must be reasonable, and you can't bully people for no reason; you can fight with your little pot friends, but you deserve to lose, and you can solve the trouble by yourself, and you are not allowed to play tricks and make false accusations.

To be honest, Shen Wenxian admits that Xu Zhao's ability is indeed very big. Whether it is a family financial management family or a farmer and a business, they can be comprehensive and excellent; in terms of educating children, the three brothers of Xiaotian, Xiaohai, and Xiaoshan are all outstanding, and all of them are models of glory and glory, and there is nothing in the village that is not praised; however, I don't know why, when I arrived at Shen Li, the style of painting suddenly became a little strange.

Like now—

Master Shen looked at Shen Li, who was gnawing on apples as if nothing was happening, and inexplicably felt that his head was big: she couldn't be reasonable, and no one could beat her in a fight, the point is, she still seems to think that she is very reasonable?

Early in the morning, he was blocked in the house by Shen Wenzheng and his family and threw so many unpleasant words, and the face of the dignified head of the Shen family was not there, if he was persuaded by Shen Li's simple and light words, wouldn't it seem very faceless?

"It's really wrong to hit a woman. ”

Master Shen lowered his head and pondered for a long time before he spoke again: "However, it's not right to beat a man......! You say, if your mother is here today, do you dare to be so arrogant?"

Shen Li snorted: "My mother wants to be here, do you think they dare to speak so arrogantly? They are bullying my mother and not in front of you, and you are an unreasonable fool, so you deliberately came to bully me!"

"Am I confused?"

Master Shen couldn't help but be angry when he heard this: "You beat someone, are you still reasonable?!"

"Because he deserves to fight!"

The father and daughter were arguing in the house, so they heard the little maid outside open the curtain and softly shouted into the house: "The young grandmother in the second room is here!"

After a moment of stunned work, I saw that Meng Qingyi had already raised his legs and entered the house, and said flutteringly: "Hello master, Ah Li sister is good." ”

Today she is not as embarrassed as yesterday, her hair is shiny, neatly combed, and her pretty face is slightly powdered, dignified and elegant, down-to-earth and generous, and her radiant appearance is really like two people.

When Shen Li saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: such a good woman who is peugeot and full of talent to learn was actually given to Shen Xiaolin in the second room, the confused drunkard, and I don't know if she was too unlucky, or the second room was too lucky.

Seeing this, Master Shen was confused: Why, the second room is reasonable, and it is impossible to take turns to quarrel in two waves and time periods?

"I'm here to say thank you. ”

Meng Qingyi didn't wait for Master Shen to ask, and took the initiative to say with a smile: "Yesterday, thank you sister for helping! This matter was difficult for my strong man, and my sister was scolded by my father-in-law and mother-in-law in vain, and I really didn't want to go! ”

"Huh?"

Master Shen was stunned for a long time, looked at her, looked at Shen Li again, and said in his heart that the second child's family is really interesting!

"Sister-in-law is polite. ”

Shen Li waved his hand and said politely: "After listening to my sister-in-law's teachings yesterday, I know what it means to 'listen to your words and read for ten years'! Don't worry, from now on, I can't control other things, and my sister-in-law's affairs are my business! Then Shen Xiaolin will dare to make trouble again in the future, even if I can't cure him, when my eldest brother comes back, I will still govern him!"

Meng Qingyi smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister." He had just been beaten for a while, and it was finally going to stop for a few days. ”

In front of Master Shen, it was not easy to say much, she only said a few polite words, then thanked her again and withdrew.

Shen Li looked at Meng Qingyi's departing back, and couldn't help muttering: "I didn't expect that she was quite righteous! ”

Master Shen was confused: "You two, what kind of fame are you doing?"

Shen Li said with emotion: "It's really the same person's fate! Daddy is blessed to marry a talented girl, and the whole family has soared, making the Shen family the richest man in the province in just ten years;

When Master Shen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "Dead girl! Your father and I are obviously very good, okay?"

"Is it a good helper?"

"Well, it's like a bird and a bird! each has its own strengths, and there is no distinction between good and bad. ”

Master Shen said with a smile: "I admit that I am a bird, if I don't meet your mother, my life will be at best the life of a landlord and rich peasant, and there will be no greater interest; ”

He changed his words and said proudly: "However, even though she is a bird, she must rely on the help of my bird to regain her wings to the sky, otherwise she can only be trapped in the chicken coop and ridiculed by a group of pigs and dogs." ”

"Then aren't you afraid that she will fly away when she is healed?

"I was a little scared at first, but then I wasn't scared. ”

Shen Li glanced at him and said with a smile: "Do you want to thank me for that? Let your Honghu have a bond from now on, and you are no longer willing to fly away, so you have to stay in your nest safely?"

If you want to keep a person's heart, you don't want to tie her, but to be good to her - the best in the world is so good, she is so spoiled that she can never leave, and she is reluctant to leave. ”
