Troubled World Merchant

Chapter 18

The luncheon started on time, and Qin Tianyou also ate in peace, without making any fuss during the period.Duan Jintang's face also changed very quickly, and he greeted them with a smile like a flower: "Come, second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law, fourth brother-in-law, fifth brother-in-law, this wine was buried under the crabapple tree by my father. It has been more than 20 years. You can try it." Take a drink and see if it's good to drink."

Ye Shaojun helped to pour the wine, and looked at Duan Jintang when he poured it to Duan Jintang's place: "Uncle, do you want to drink baijiu too?" Duan Jintang hummed lightly: "Pour it, Shaojun and you sit down too, you are also a guest here today. My son, please sit down, young master nephew." The little maid who was standing next to her hurriedly took the wine pot from Ye Shaojun's hand, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Ye Shaojun.

Ye Shaojun glanced at Duan Jintang, but Duan Jintang never looked at him again. He smiled and greeted his brother-in-law. The second brother-in-law asked him where the cigarettes were good. Duan Jintang advised him solemnly: "Second brother-in-law, it's not good to smoke too much. not good for health."

The second brother-in-law sighed: "Little brother, I also know, but isn't this a boring panic?"

The second sister smiled: "Jintang, just leave him alone. How many times have I told him that he is just like this and can't be changed." Duan Jintang also smiled: "Brother-in-law, I went to Chengji to imitate antiques a few days ago. In the village, when I saw a bong, I thought that my brother-in-law would use it just right, and Uncle Zhang, please show it to my brother-in-law.”

This bong is used there, and it looks like a waste if it looks good. The green pipe and the pipe inlaid with gold are very expensive. As soon as his brother-in-law brought it over, he laughed: "I made you spend money again, little brother." Duan Jintang's heart is indeed bleeding, but he will give what is due. This is his brother-in-law, his sister's husband, and his sister is married to someone else, so he can't be looked down upon.The remaining sisters-in-law and wives had carefully bought presents, and even the fourth brother-in-law who had just quarreled had one.

My sister's gift is easy to talk about, one set of jewelry for each person, the same pearl, so that no one is partial, and my sister is easy to get rid of anyway.

The rest is the children. The New Year's money of 1000 yuan for each child, 1000 yuan is more than one mu of land. This amount also made the brothers-in-law feel a little bit thinking. It seems that the Duan family is still a big family The family, their father-in-law is dead, but the Duan family is still brilliant. Duan Jintang is so stingy and generous, which shows that the Duan family should not be underestimated.

The elder sister's thoughts are more open than the brother-in-law's. They think more directly, and they think that the fat and water will not flow to outsiders. The elder sister even put Ye Shaojun in Duan's house, and even took the position of manager. They also thought about it. The fourth sister and the fourth sister are all daughters, so they can't help in the shop. The fifth sister has not given birth to a child, so only the third sister is left, but the son is still young and cannot occupy the place in the Duan family. The third sister can only say sourly: "Shao Jun Ah, you are the oldest of these children, you can finally help your uncle, you have to work hard, our Duan family's property will last for a hundred years."

Ye Shaojun smiled: "What the third aunt taught me is that Shaojun knows it, and she will definitely help uncle." Ye Shaojun went to see Duan Jintang, but Duan Jintang turned his head and smiled at his third sister: "Third sister, Long Lin is still young, wait If he grows up, if he doesn't dislike it, let him help me, I'm short of people here." The third sister was happy when she heard this.

His elder sister was always laughing beside her, she didn't fight for anything but she got everything, it was good to know, her husband passed away early, but her son was able to hold up the sky for her, the big family of Ye family had a lot of business, but there were more side branches, her husband After she died, the two of them couldn't compete with each other. Fortunately, the Duan family didn't forget her. Her son had a good job in the Duan family, and her natal family was strong, so her position in the Ye family was also unshakable.

The eldest sister looked at Duan Jintang kindly, she was old enough to be Duan Jintang's mother, so she asked him kindly: "Brother, you are 25 this year, you should get married at this age."

Ye Shaojun raised his head abruptly, and looked at his mother, who glanced at him and ignored him, no matter how stupid she was these days, she could see that he was having conflicts with his uncle, and he wouldn't go for his uncle's birthday, so let him I came to invite my uncle to go home for the New Year, and his uncle didn't go. She watched for a long time today, and the nephew and uncle obviously ignored each other. Isn't this a conflict? What's the matter?Still stubbornly said it was okay.

The eldest sister wanted to pat Duan Jintang on the head as she did when she was a child, but Duan Jintang got older, so she walked away: "Elder sister, you are here again." The eldest sister still smiled: "Shao Jun is about to marry a wife, you still don't let me say, How old are you, the past few years were during the filial piety period for your father, but this year the filial piety period has passed, it's time to get married."

Duan Jintang glanced at Ye Shaojun, just met Ye Shaojun's eyes, Ye Shaojun looked at him nervously, Duan Jintang's mouth curled up slightly, is he so scary, marry a wife, anyway, it has nothing to do with him.Duan Jintang hummed: "Eldest sister, you should take care of my nephew first, I know what to do."

Fifth Sister is very gossipy: "You know? You have someone in your heart?" Duan Jintang glared at her: "Fifth Sister, you have a girlfriend who can't get married again? I have seen all your elementary school classmates. Anyone who can't get married has a problem." The fifth sister was choked by him: "You think you are the only one, pick and choose, no wonder Miss Zhao married someone else." Duan Jintang said angrily: "It's her I have no vision." Fifth Miss cut her voice: "Just blow it there."

Ye Shaojun kept listening, he knew that his uncle's fiancée, the young lady of the Zhao family, was not married because he wanted to be a filial piety, but because his uncle didn't care about her at all at that time, and didn't go shopping with her. Don't buy gifts for the lady during the New Year's Eve, and when the lady canceled the wedding, Duan Jintang was afraid that he would ruin his reputation, so he said that they saw that he was not waiting for him during the filial piety period, but in fact it fell through long before that.

At that time, I foolishly comforted him. On the day of Miss Zhao's wedding, he was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he drank with him to relieve boredom, and then... went to bed.Ye Shaojun's memory got stuck at this point, he shook his head, he couldn't think about those things, the more he thought about it, the more chaotic, his mother saw that it was weird for him to shake his head at him, so she patted him: "What are you shaking your head about?" , I am also preparing for your marriage, and you told me that the person you are going to marry is a young lady, so why don't you tell me about the Dafa."

Ye Shaojun didn't dare to look at his uncle anymore, he didn't know what was wrong with his throat, as if he was going to kill him by speaking, seeing that he didn't speak, Fifth Miss patted him: "Look, Shao Jun is still shy? Auntie, listen, what kind of young lady is she?"

Since the eldest sister wanted to show off, the younger sisters of them naturally wanted to praise her, and they all responded to the question. Ye Shaojun looked at Duan Jintang across the table. Duan Jintang was drinking, holding a jug with his thin white fingers. The cup was poured, and the drink was neither hurried nor slow, as if he hadn't heard the conversation here.

Ye Shaojun suddenly panicked in his heart, and was caught off guard by him. What he feared most was that he would suddenly get angry, and he was most afraid that he would expose the relationship between the two of them in front of so many people regardless of face. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak just now. Come, his hands were all pinched, and his whole body was tense, just to prepare for his sudden outburst, but Duan Jintang didn't react at all, he just sat there drinking, the white jade jug lined his face as snow-white.

Ye Shaojun's mother glanced at the two of them, a little strange, she pushed Ye Shaojun: "Shaojun, my aunt is waiting for you to speak."

Ye Shaojun finally opened his eyes, he started talking about the girl he liked, this time his voice was not loud but he was very firm, he just wanted to say it, he wanted to tell his uncle many times, but every time the two of them could not continue , this time he went all out, he would know about this kind of thing sooner or later, and he didn't want to keep it from him.

Ye Shaojun slowly and succinctly said, "Second Miss of the Feng family, Second Miss of the Governor's Mansion, this title really stunned everyone present, and his mother asked again and again in uncertainty: "Shao Jun, are you sure? Is it the lady of the Governor's Mansion? How could she..." She never thought that her son could hook up with the lady of the Governor's Mansion, which is simply unbelievable.

Several of his aunts also exploded: "Really, Shao Jun is so powerful, let me just say, how can such a handsome girl not like it, big sister, you are really worrying about nothing. Shao Jun, when will you bring me?" Let's take a look, the lady of the Governor's Mansion must be beautiful, let me just say, how can we find an ordinary person with our Shao Jun's good looks, Shao Jun, when will you introduce us, we can go When someone proposes a marriage at home, there must be all the procedures involved in the marriage proposal, this young lady of the Governor's Mansion should be a bit more beautiful, right, eldest sister."

Duan Jintang really hates his gossiping sisters at this moment. What's so great about the lady of the Governor's Mansion? Did she give you gold or silver? The second young lady who is here is Kefu's at first glance, and she just killed his father a few days ago!

Duan Jintang couldn't tell what it was like, he never imagined that he would have such a day, listening to his sweetheart say that others are good, a thousand times or ten thousand times better than himself, he has no comparison at all, haha, this pair is incomparable What a great irony of himself.

Duan Jintang poured himself another glass of wine, he didn't know what to do, he should stand up and drive them away after yelling at them, but she was his sister, he couldn't drive them away, not only could he not drive them away He can't leave either. How can he escape in such a desperate way? He can completely ignore it. He can get married anyway. Duan Jintang poured another glass of wine as he thought about it. He poured it mechanically and drank it mechanically. I don't know that I'm using alcohol to relieve my worries, because he really isn't using alcohol to relieve his worries. He felt that he fell asleep quickly when he drank a few days ago, just like he touched himself, all to make himself feel better. Because I don't know what to do.

After drinking for a while, Duan Jintang felt that someone was looking at him, he looked up, Ye Shaojun looked at him without blinking, Duan Jintang was a little puzzled, why did he look at himself, his face was blooming?Oh, it was looking at the jug, and Duan Jintang finally realized that he looked exactly like the one who lost his love. This bastard must be thinking in his heart, he loves him so much, he loves him so much, he loves to drink away his sorrows, ha, What I love and what he loves is just that thing, and he can buy a few more in the future, and he can buy as many as he wants.

Duan Jintang put down his glass, just when his fifth sister turned around and asked him, "Hey, little brother, have you seen this Miss Feng? How does she look? Is there... Is your fifth sister beautiful?" Duan Jintang went up and down She sized her up and said, "You are much more beautiful than her." Fifth Miss pushed him coquettishly: "I hate it!"

Duan Jintang shuddered undisguisedly, his fifth sister was really not used to this movement.What kind of Xiaojiabiyu is the female man displaying?Sure enough, Fifth Miss slapped him hard.

Fifth Miss had a quarrel with Duan Jintang, and finally the topic was no longer about Miss Feng's family. Ye Shaojun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. During the rest of the time, several people chatted kindly again, until four o'clock in the afternoon. They sent them off, and Duan Jintang sent them to the door. Watching them get into the car one by one, he felt that today's task was finally completed.

This task is sweet and distressing. I feel sorry for the money he gave out. Duan Jintang held his heart and walked back. It’s not good if there are too many sisters. One person needs several steamed buns, and a family has five children. .The old butler looked at him and smiled: "My lord, it's only once a year." Duan Jintang nodded. Fortunately, it was only once, and he would go crazy if there were too many.
