Chapter 320 Mind
Cheng Zhiyuan wiped his face, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "What nonsense, your father's house is not here, except for your wife and children."
"Then why don't you stay at home?" Cheng Shu whispered.
Lin's ears were pointed, and he followed: "Yes, eldest brother, how good is your home, can you get used to seeing those yellow hairs every day when you go overseas?"
Cheng Zhiyuan looked at Lin with bitterness in his eyes.
Wanqing is still like this, simple and happy, no matter how much trouble she has cried and scolded.
Still the way he...likes it.
Cheng Zhiyuan hurriedly suppressed this thought and scolded himself for being shameless.
He grew up with Wanqing, and when he understood the taste of love, this silly girl was in his heart.
He still remembered that day when he mustered up his courage and wanted to confess to his adoptive father and adoptive mother, but Wanqing flew in like a happy bird and told the adoptive father and adoptive mother that she had a crush on someone.
That person is Xinke Jinshi Wen Rugui.
The adoptive father and adoptive mother only have Wanqing, a pearl in the palm of his hand, and it is no surprise that under Wanqing's coquettish behavior, she obeyed her mind.
Soon, the silly girl he secretly liked became someone else's wife, and the things on his mind that he mustered up the courage to talk about can only be things on his mind.
The adoptive father said that he could not cut off the incense of the Cheng family, otherwise he would be a sinner who made him feel sorry for his good brother. Then he married a wife, had a son, and lost his wife.
The Cheng family is over, and he finally doesn't have to remarry in order to continue the Cheng family's incense, but the Wen residence is so close to the general's residence, and Wanqing comes back so frequently, he knows that he must go far, so as not to let the dirty Though her mind breaks through her rationality, she will not be heartbroken by Wanqing's intimacy with that man.
Sure enough, I felt much better when I left.
"Brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing Cheng Zhiyuan in a daze, Mrs Lin pushed him.
Cheng Zhiyuan came back to his senses and talked about overseas customs and people, and everyone was fascinated.
"I came back this time with a lot of interesting things, but I suddenly met Wanqing and Ah Hao and didn't care about them." Cheng Zhiyuan explained the reason for coming back this time, "The rumors that we are going to let go of maritime trade have spread, and some The foreign businessman decided to come and find out in person, and when I heard about it, I came back with it."
"Zhiyuan, do you want to do maritime business?"
Cheng Zhiyuan didn't know the old lady's attitude towards this matter, but he knew that the adoptive mother had always been open-minded and tolerant, so he never thought of concealing it: "I have this idea. The child is familiar with the situation of overseas countries and can speak their words. In the past few years, I have also had my own cargo ships and manpower. If the news of the opening of maritime trade by the imperial court is true, it would be a pity to leave this business alone..."
Lin Hao listened quietly, and heard a lot from the humble remarks of this uncle who had not seen him for many years.
There are not only sea merchants, but also pirates at sea. They can protect their cargo ships. The so-called manpower is definitely not that simple.
At this time, the maid reported that the second uncle was here.
Cheng Zhiyuan turned his head and saw a tall and straight young man walking in.
The somewhat familiar and handsome face made him look at Lin with uncertainty.
This young man seems to be from the next door neighbor's house——
Without waiting for him to be confused, Lin Shi smiled and said, "Ah Hao, who got married in April this year, married the heir of Prince Jing's mansion, you have also met eldest brother."
Cheng Zhiyuan was shocked.
Really that sick boy!
His sharp eyes swept over the smiling young man at the corner of his mouth, becoming more and more suspicious.
He has also practiced martial arts since he was a child and has excellent skills. He can see that the youth in front of him is bright and clear, his spirit is restrained, and his body is definitely not weak.
"I heard that my uncle is back, I'm late, please don't blame me." Qi Shuo bowed his hands.
Cheng Zhiyuan felt relieved when he saw that the little prince was so polite.
This world is too restrictive to women, but too tolerant to men. A man with a distinguished status is very respectful to the Yue family, mostly because he respects and cherishes his wife.
After being polite with Qi Shuo, Cheng Zhiyuan asked, "Where's Chan'er?"
There was no reason for him to come back, only the second uncle was informed.
The old lady smiled and said, "Chan'er is also married, and she has a body soon. I didn't send someone to report it tonight, and I will let her come back tomorrow."
"Which family does Chaner marry?"
"The grandson of the Han family of the Minister of War."
"It's good, it's good." Cheng Zhiyuan nodded again and again.
When he left last time, Lin Chan and Lin Hao were still little girls. Now that they have found a good match, their mood is inevitably agitated.
He looked at Cheng Shu again.
Cheng Shu was confused by the expectations in his father's eyes.
The old lady guessed what Yoshiko wanted to ask, and said with a smile: "I asked Shu'er about a few people recently, and it happened that you came back, so you can come up with an idea."
Cheng Zhiyuan hurriedly waved his hand: "Shu'er's marriage is entirely up to the adoptive mother. The child is not in the capital all the year round, so who knows who the girl is."
Cheng Shu's eyes lit up: "Grandmother, are you giving me a marriage?"
The grandmother asked him once before, but he never expected to be silent after that, and I don’t know why.
"In a hurry to marry a wife?" The old lady asked with a smile.
Cheng Zhiyuan thought his son blushed when he heard the elder's joking meeting, but Cheng Shu grinned and let out a white tooth: "Then you will be able to hug the eldest grandson as soon as possible."
Cheng Zhiyuan: "..." Knowing the reason why his son hasn't married a wife yet, the silly boy hasn't realized yet.
It was getting dark, and the maid came to ask for instructions.
The old lady got up, Lin Hao stepped forward to support her arm, and the family walked to the dining room.
Cheng Zhiyuan looked at the family members who were sitting around, and still asked, "Brother-in-law... Are you busy?"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Zhiyuan felt that the atmosphere suddenly sank, and everyone's faces closed with smiles.
He suddenly thought of his adoptive father who passed away, and looked at Lin in surprise.
Could it be that Wen Rugui is no longer there?
Together with this guess, his first reaction was distress. I feel sorry for Lin's loss of her loving husband, and I feel sorry for Sister Lin's loss of her dependent father.
And then, there are several different emotions.
Linshi could understand Cheng Zhiyuan's eyes, and he laughed in the tense atmosphere: "Brother, what are you thinking, the scourge will last for thousands of years, he will not die, and we will die."
"Yi Jue?" With a click, the chopsticks in Cheng Zhiyuan's hand fell to the table.
By now, Mr. Lin had already put it down and explained the matter clearly in a few words. Hearing Cheng Zhiyuan's face was ashen, he could not wait to pick up the knife and chop up the dog.
"Big brother can't get his hands dirty. Whether he is good or bad in the future has nothing to do with us."
In fact, today's Wen Rugui is better than death.
"Wanqing, you are right." Cheng Zhiyuan showed the same hearty smile as his son.
Cheng Zhiyuan was staying in the General's Mansion that night. Lin Hao and Qi Shuo returned to the Wang Mansion to discuss the matter of Cheng Zhiyuan's return to Beijing.
"Ashuo, since uncle wants to cooperate with the imperial court to do maritime business, please help me introduce it."
"I'm afraid I won't be needed."
The next day really confirmed what Qi Shuo said, Cheng Zhiyuan was called into the palace.
