The sturdy life of crossing

Chapter 129 Cooking Oil on Fire

Fan's father and Fan Cheng were furious. Only then did the old lady of the Fan family know that her daughter-in-law was hiding the stupid things she did outside. , the old lady slapped the table and scolded this stupid daughter-in-law angrily. Although she has been an old lord for many years, she grew up in the market after all, and her scolding skills are no worse than that of a woman in the market. He almost died of shame and anger.

"You stupid woman, how did Brother Yi leave home in the first place? What did you stupid woman do behind your back? Don't think that my old eyes can't understand your vicious heart. You just can't allow Brother Yi to stay In this family, don't rush to argue with me. The old people left behind by the Xie family were either sold by you or stayed by your side. Why those people were kept by you still needs my old woman to explain clearly ?”

In fact, the old lady turned a blind eye to what happened at the beginning. After all, it was good for her that her grandson disappeared. She found an excuse to hold the dowry left by Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Han tried to embezzle it several times. They were all scolded by her. Last time she spent a lot of money for the second child, she knew that this wicked woman was not satisfied, but she didn't think about it. She was not the one who brought her into the Fan's house. A sum of money from Xie was used.

After Mrs. Xie disappeared, the old lady became more and more dissatisfied with Mrs. Han. Except that she gave birth to a grandson for the Fan family, she did not bring any benefits to the Fan family. Yes, Han's what?Just going to subsidize her natal family has subsidized a lot.

Han Shi was shocked in her heart, but she refused to admit it. It was Xie Wenyi who ran out by herself when she bit her to death. She sent people out to look for it, but they couldn't find it.

The old lady didn't believe a single word. Although Fan's father vaguely guessed that things were not as simple as what the madam said, it was just that Xie Wenyi, a brother, was dispensable to him before, and his death easily erased his past in Fan. However, he did not expect that he would return to the capital after a few years, and even start a business in public.

"Mother, let the Han family be handled by mother. The most important thing now is how to solve the current situation. Since Brother Yi appeared as the Xie family member, it is better to confirm this identity and take him into the Fan family. Xie's nephew is married to the Hua family." Father Fan felt that his method had killed two birds with one stone, not only covering up the scandal, but also marrying the Hua family, and the rumors outside would naturally die down.

The old lady sighed and said: "Talk to that child well, I remember that child has always been soft-hearted, and suffered a lot from being left alone. It's all because of you, a vicious stupid woman. You just have to deal with the matter well, that's all. Let outsiders take advantage of the rumors and spread such rumors, which ruined my grandson's marriage, even Shan'er's marriage. Before these rumors subside, I can't get a good marriage. It's not all because of you, a stupid woman .”

Thinking of the situation of the two children, Mrs. Han regretted covering her face with a handkerchief and whimpering, resentful in her heart, regretted that she didn't let that little bitch go directly with that bitch of Mrs. Xie, so that she would hurt her child today As a result, as long as that little bitch returns to Fan's residence, she will have a hundred ways to make her survive or die, and the hatred in her heart will soon turn into substance.

Of course, Fan's father would not come forward in person, otherwise he would not have confirmed the rumors outside, but let his confidantes follow him to find Xie Wenyi, and did not talk in front of others, but privately expressed the old lady's relationship with Fan. Father Fan did not know what happened to his father, but he has never forgotten him in these years. Although the son of Fan's parents died of illness, he promised that Xie Wenyi's treatment would not change in any way after returning.

Xie Wenyi was not angry but happy when he heard what he came for. The Fan family really treated him as a three-year-old child and coaxed him, saying: "I respect you for being old so I call you uncle, but don't treat me like an ignorant child, you Didn't you inquire about what kind of things I have experienced in these things before you came to look for me? Then wait until you inquire clearly before coming."

Looking at the sarcasm in Xie Wenyi's eyes, the long follower also felt that this trip was too rash, so he had to go out and make a detour before finding a businessman from Jiangnan who asked about Xie Wenyi's situation. What this person told him made him dumbfounded, and he said that he was indeed the grandson of the Xie family, who had the talent for doing business in the blood of the Xie family, and the Fan family alone could not achieve this level.

Xie Wenyi is a long-sleeved and good-looking businessman in Jiangnan. He has dealt with countless merchants, including the difficult salt merchants. Not only in Jiangnan, but I heard that Xie Wenyi also followed the Canghe Gang to the border of the North Dagger to meet the barbaric barbarians of the foreign race. They have dealt with each other before, exchanging silk tea from Jiangnan for foreign furs and mountain treasures. It can be said that Xie Wenyi is more skilled and capable than the Xie family back then. Dare to fear him.

It is said that there was a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River who was greedy for the glass products that Xie Wenyi took out, and wanted to force Xie Wenyi to be his concubine. As a result, the rich businessman capsized in the gutter, and the people from the Canghe Gang came to his door and beat him up, threatening the rich businessman. , not long after the rich businessman recovered from his injuries, he found that his business could no longer continue. This was Xie Wenyi's method on the surface. He used normal business methods to suppress the rich businessman, and the rich businessman vomited blood and fell on the bed. .

After this incident, all the businessmen in Jiangnan know that Xie Wenyi is not easy to provoke, and what is even more difficult is that the Canghe Gang behind him is extremely protective. The matter of the rich businessman is still on the surface, and it is not known what happened in private. As for the situation, anyway, there is no one in Jiangnan who dares to take Xie Wenyi's idea, unless the Canghe Gang is suppressed.

Only then did the chief follower know that Xie Wenyi was no longer the eldest son of the Fan family, and it was impossible to coax him back. His mind and methods were no weaker than those of the Fan family.

Until the end of the year, the Fan family sent people to contact Xie Wenyi several times, but no one could persuade him. The atmosphere in the Fan family became more and more depressing. While Fan's father was dissatisfied with the Han family, he became more and more unhappy with Xie Wenyi's ignorance and flattery. From their point of view, Xie Wenyi was simply taking Joe.

"Mother, what should we do? Our Fan family will become a joke in the capital if we go on, what is Yige'er dissatisfied with us? The Han family is still his mother now anyway." Father Fan disagreed Yue Road.

The old lady was a little guilty. Back then Xie Wenyi’s whereabouts were unknown. She either opened her eyes and closed her eyes or pushed the handle behind her back. She couldn’t do well if she really wanted to investigate. She vaguely guessed in her heart that Xie Wenyi should know something about it , the reason why he didn't come back should be because he was dissatisfied with the handling of the Fan family, but could it be that the Han family was going to be divorced?It is related to her eldest grandson, and the future of the eldest grandson must not be ruined. The blame is that the Xie family only gave birth to a brother and did not add a son to the Fan family.

"Why don't mothers go out and walk around, and say that brother Xie was dissatisfied with us because of the death of Xie's illness, so he deliberately released such rumors to disgust us] Fan's family? I think this brother is determined not to come back Oh, hmph, I see who will be the last one, let him kneel down and beg us" The old lady was also angered by this attitude, there is no such thing as an elder admitting mistakes to a junior. "

"That's going to be hard work, mother." Father Fan said apologetically.

"Mother is not for this family, as long as I know the painstaking efforts of mother." Although she is partial to the second child, it is not that she does not care about the eldest family. In the future, the second child will rely on the eldest.

At this time, the people who went to Jiangnan to bid for glass making prescriptions had already returned, and several new glass shops were opened on the streets of the capital to sell glass products. Cangcui Pavilion became much quieter, and only traded in glass jewelry. No other glassware was involved.

Several forces scattered a lot of money to get Fang Zi. Compared with the previous idea of ​​empty gloves and white wolves, this result made them extremely depressed. It can only be said that the Canghe Gang is too cunning. They sent people to Jiangnan I didn't get to meet the leader of the Leyang gang himself. As for that big man Zhang Meng, he threatened them both openly and secretly. They only killed one way, and that was to prepare for the silver auction and the highest bidder won. They wanted to use force Yes, but Zhang Meng brought a lot of Canghe Gang to guard the boat, even a mosquito could hardly fly in.

Thinking about the amount of money that the Canghe Gang got from selling glass prescriptions, it made all parties jealous and wished that all the money would go into their own pockets, but the Canghe Gang immediately retreated to their old camp after getting the money. The base camp is run like an iron barrel, and they have to be able to break in.

The benefits of glass windows have long spread in the capital. People everywhere in teahouses and restaurants can hear people describing the scene of taking a flower boat in winter. With glass windows, the heat inside cannot escape, and the cold wind outside cannot blow in. It does not hinder the sight of the tourists on the ship, and the cabin is very bright. If the windows of the house can be installed with glass, it will be much better this winter.

On a snowy day, Huajia invited Jian Leyang to enjoy the snow and drink tea. Glasses were installed on the Tingxue building, so you can see the snow scene clearly while sitting in the building. This is already the most popular entertainment in the capital. Who wants to install it first? Good glass to host a banquet to entertain guests from all walks of life will definitely make many people envious and amazed.

Hua Jia was grateful for Jian Leyang's swift move to save Xie Wenyi from trouble, and he brought Jian Leyang a piece of news.

"The Marquis of Changning sent a garden to his sister, Concubine Li. Concubine Li brought His Majesty to the garden today. She should be doing the same thing as us now, sitting in the building to enjoy the snow and the scenery. Presumably after today, Your Majesty will appreciate The Marquis of Changning will have many rewards."

Jian Leyang smiled and said: "The Marquis of Changning is indeed loyal to His Majesty. If there is something good to do, I will first think about honoring His Majesty. The other princes must be one step behind."

Hua Jia said: "That's not true, the position of the Marquis of Changning is becoming more and more stable now, you can see that most of the military power in the capital has also fallen into the hands of the Marquis of Changning, the Jiang family did not lose much in the Jiangnan incident. Fur. By the way, Mr. He is going back to Beijing soon, the Marquis of Changning is so beautiful now, the situation of the officials of the He family is not very good."

Jian Leyang frowned slightly: "It should be almost here in a few days, but those princes are too weak, they can't even fight a Marquis of Changning."

Jian Leyang said that he really looked down upon the methods of these princes, when he threatened Cangcui Pavilion and Canghe Gang, he was full of momentum, but even a Marquis of Changning could climb on top of them, how could he be respected, Even if such a prince can ascend to the throne, the power will fall to the side in the future. As far as he knows the situation of the few princes so far, there is really no one who makes him pleasing to the eye, otherwise he would be willing to push behind him.

Hua Jia didn't know how to continue what he said, Jian Leyang was so bold that he could say it, but he couldn't comment on the princes like this, facing these princes, the Hua family is still weak.

Sure enough, as Hua Jia said, after the old emperor and concubine Li visited the garden and admired the snow scene, he congratulated the Marquis of Changning and gave him constant rewards, and even promoted him.

Afterwards, Concubine Li also sent her servants to convey the order, that is, this garden is usually used by her elder brother, as long as His Majesty thinks about it, the people in the garden can be emptied, so Marquis Changning followed this intention and opened the snow appreciation in a few days. After the feast, all the honorable officials in the capital were proud of getting a post from the Jiang family. Even Cangcui Pavilion’s business has improved a few steps, selling a large number of jewelry, and the clothing workshop is also booming. A batch of furs that the river gang got from the north this winter was also sold at a high price.

When He Yunzhang returned to the capital in the glory of the Marquis Mansion of Changning, Jian Leyang led Jian Wenyuan to the outside of the city to pick up people. The river had been frozen, so he could only go by land at this time.

"Brother He has finally returned to the capital, bro, is Brother He's convoy over there?" Jian Wenyuan rubbed his hands with enthusiasm, and looked on tiptoe when he saw the convoy coming from afar.

"It's them." Jian Leyang had already seen He Yunzhang opened the car window and looked out, and when he got closer, he finally saw Jian Leyang and his brothers waving happily at them.

"He Liu, did you see Brother Yang? Brother Yang came out of the city to pick me up." He Yunzhang said excitedly.

He Liu wiped his face: "Young master, someone from home has come to pick you up."

"Oh, just come." He Yunzhang's reaction to He's residence was indifferent.

When it was approaching, He Yunzhang couldn't wait to jump out of the car, and showed a bright smile to Jian Leyang brothers. Of course, in the eyes of others, he laughed like a fool. Jian Wenyuan muttered a few words in his heart, but it didn't prevent him from seeing He Yunzhang's cheerfulness made everyone around him grow older and elder brother He shorter.

"Yunzhang, you're back in the capital. I don't know who these two are." He Yunjing of the He Mansion, who had been waiting here for a long time, didn't expect He Yunzhang to get off the carriage and run towards the two brothers first, especially at one of them, laughing like a fool So, he couldn't help but raised his eyebrows, how did he never know which brother Yun Zhang had a crush on?The faces of these two brothers are also very strange.

"Brother, so you came to pick me up." Only then did He Yunzhang notice who the He family was coming from. Not only He Yunjing's black line, but even He Liu couldn't see it. Such a big man stood there, but he didn't see it. .
