"...The third uncle was originally close to my father, but then the eldest brother ran away from home, and the old man handed over part of the business to the second brother to take care of it, and there began to be some different voices there, saying that the daughter was married off. The water that was thrown out, they are probably all hoping that I can get married as soon as possible, so it is said that I have caused my husband-in-law to be harmed..."

On the way, Shen Yourong took the initiative to hold one of Yang Lin's arms, acting naturally and appropriately, while softly introducing him to things at home.

"So, should I turn around and go back to avoid being ridiculed in public later?"

"Haha, those people are no match for my husband." She smiled and smoothed the wrinkles on Yang Lin's clothes, raised her head, and looked at the man beside her, "Dad often warned me at that time that women's conduct is the most important thing. The most important thing is to abide by the rules, otherwise if you get married in the future, you will be punished by your husband's family, ranging from beatings and scolding to divorce, so no matter how many grievances you suffer, you can only endure it, but my husband is a man and a good husband. He is the appearance and appearance of our second wife. Take responsibility, I will still count on my husband to support me from now on."

"Since when do you have so many demands for a soft meal?"

"Does your husband really intend to live a life of soft food?" The girl blinked at Yang Lin, as if she wanted to see through his heart.

"Of course. I went to the shop a few days ago, and the shopkeeper personally checked my pulse."

"Ah? Is your husband sick?"

"Yes, the shopkeeper said that I have a bad stomach and I may have to eat soft food for the rest of my life."

"Pfft..." Shen Yourong was startled for a moment, and after reacting, he glared at someone with a red face, "My husband started talking nonsense again, and I'm not afraid of being overheard..."

Yang Lin smiled, looking quite proud and not ashamed.

Shen Yourong was a little helpless, but fortunately he was used to the changes in his husband. After laughing, he briefly explained the situation over there to Yang Lin.

At today's gathering, except for the old man who was not present due to illness, all other relatives of the Shen family were present. Since the eldest grandson Shen Youxia ran away from home, the eldest son has gradually faded out of the Shen family's circle of power, and the second bedroom only has one She was an only daughter, so the responsibility of inheriting the family business fell on the third family. Although Shen Youcai of the third family was a standard playboy, his father was a powerful figure. A few years ago, he worked for the old man in Shanxi. Taking care of business, I heard that he also made a lot of achievements. After his wife passed away,

Later, he married a famous descendant in the capital, which brought a lot of political bargaining chips to the Shen family. For example, the noble son named Liang who had been involved with the Shen family before was from the third room. Line, it can be said that even if Shen Yourong's skills are ten times more powerful, without the support of the old man behind him, there is no way he can be his opponent.

Today is Master Sanfang's birthday. Early in the morning, the entire Shen Mansion started to get busy.

Shen Yourong was wearing the red cloak today, and the snow-white fur coat wrapped her graceful figure. She was as stunning as when she first met her. In front of Yang Lin, she was more gentle and virtuous, but in front of outsiders, she was absolutely She has that kind of independent temperament, she is vigorous and resolute in doing things, and her skill even surpasses that of many men. It is even said that if she were born as a boy, there would be no other people to compete for the family property.

Now that the old man's health is deteriorating, the inheritance issue has gradually come to the fore. Originally, the Shen family had encountered these things, and the balance of victory had tilted towards the third family. If Yang Lin hadn't taken action at the critical moment, maybe Now it is a different result. After all, she is just a girl. She is a bit stronger than ordinary weak women. It is just the unwillingness to admit defeat that accounts for the majority of her character. After a long time, she will be able to stand alone. I'm still a little tired, so it feels good to have someone by my side to rely on at certain times.

At this time, Shen Yourong gently held Yang Lin's arm, with a rare hint of girlish shyness on his face. He wandered all the way and appeared outside the three-bedroom mansion. After a while, a steward ran over. .

"My eyes are so blind that I didn't see the second young lady. Is my uncle still carrying something in his hand?"

The old steward scolded him a few times from afar, then hurriedly came over to take the gift from Shen Yourong's hand, and said with a smile: "It's cold outside, second young lady, you'd better go inside and sit down first. It'll be fine when people come, and bring some with you." What a gift, so weird..."

"Uncle Zhang, please rest more and leave the matter to the people below."

Shen Yourong said politely. Although the other party was the steward of the third room, he was also an old man who had been with the old man for many years. In terms of status, his status was far beyond that of ordinary servants.

"Today is the master's birthday. I don't dare to make any mistakes. I'm here to watch these little brats. Second Miss, please go inside and rest. By the way, Mr. Zhou from the Imperial College is also here today. He is in the Mingtang now. I am here to give lectures to the students..."

Yang Lin vaguely remembered where he had heard this name.

"Zhou Da

Are people here too?"

Shen Yourong's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He was obviously very familiar with Mr. Zhou. As a big family in Hedong, the Shen family could gain a foothold in the capital. Naturally, there were help from dignitaries behind it, but most of them were related to interests, and this person The real name is Zhou Guangyuan. Lord Zhou, who went to the Imperial Academy to offer wine, is actually a being who is really related to the Shen family. When the Shen family first came to the capital, they happened to meet Zhou Guangyuan, who was a down-and-out scholar at that time. There was a lot of planning on the official road, and it was even said that the youngest daughter of the Shen family married him at that time. The two families were quite close at that time, and the Zhou family was also one of the Shen family's hardcore supporters. I wonder if she accepted the promotion and made a fortune. As my wife said, not long after Zhou Guangyuan moved to a high position, the daughter of the Shen family died due to a cold infection. Later, Zhou Guangyuan changed his mind and married a popular oiran from Fanlou. Since then, his relationship with the Shen family has gradually become estranged. , I didn’t expect to invite him here today. It seems that the third master of the Shen family does have some abilities in the officialdom.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xiaoyun coming over pantingly: "Young ladies and uncles, you are here. There are many people in the house today, including the Master Jijiu from the Imperial College, and people from Bianjing Mansion... By the way, Several shopkeepers from Shanxi also rushed back today, saying that they didn't have time to toast the young lady when she got married, and they have to make up for it today..."

The Shanxi side has always been run by Sanfang people, and there have indeed been a few powerful shopkeepers there. Most of the family's herbal medicine business is managed by them. Although they are all people recruited from outside, they can still be regarded as direct descendants. I am a confidant, so I may not mean to support Sanfang when I come back this time.

Xiaoyun was called over to help early this morning. She didn't have time to go back and send a message to her family. It wasn't until Shen Yourong showed up that she hurried over.

Shen Yourong and Xiaoyun were as close as sisters, so they naturally heard the worry in her tone, but the former comforted her: "It's okay, you go and do your work first."

"But Miss..."

Shen Yourong, on the other hand, turned to look at Yang Lin and asked softly: "Do you want to go around, sir?"

Yang Lin shook his head: "No, I'll accompany you in."

Shen Yourong thought for a while: "Okay, my husband doesn't need to worry about those people later, just watch the fun. When the Shen family's business gets bigger, there will be everyone for everyone, and there are some people who don't need to be ignored."
