Chapter 26：

Shao Shang scurried away while slandering—

Do you still have to do what you say when you are Taimei? At that time, in order to get away, I responded casually, as if the robbers ordered 'Don't move and hand over the money', don't you really move!

What's more, her half-bred sister is not good enough! After receiving the first wave of dividends in the hometown, a quarter of the townspeople became upstarts, and the rest of the people who were not from the country became upstarts. The employment rate of Yuzhen is unprecedentedly high, okay? How can there be people who are serious about messing around, and they are all serious about making a fortune! And the grassroots control is so in place, most of the little gangsters and little sisters are the products of their parents who have gone out and their ancestors cannot effectively control them, and their daily activities are just lingering in some game rooms, billiard rooms and drinking water.

Shao Shang is no longer depressed, and honestly returned to the banquet, Cheng She was overjoyed when she saw her, she pressed her down on the seat next to her and sat down at the same time Still babbling: "Aunt came to see us just now, I said you went to change clothes. Seeing that the banquet is about to start, if you don't come back, I have to tell you if my aunt finds out..."

Cheng Chau sweated on her forehead anxiously, she was really afraid of the mother-daughter fight now.

Cheng Cha bit her lip and said in a low voice, "They dare?! I'll tell them what you said!"

Sure enough, no one of those girls dared to sneer at Shao Shang anymore, and the atmosphere of the banquet was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Gu Long said that it is impossible for a bunch of men to talk about women together, just like a bunch of women to talk about men together. I don't know who started first, but the girls really talked about the talented 'Shanjian'. This one's cheeks are flushed and he says, "How can you be so talented," and the one with blurred eyes says, "How can you be polite and well-mannered"...

Cheng Cha pouted: "Listen to their nonsense, we didn't even see the corner of Young Master Shanjian's clothes."

It turns out that after Yuan Shen met Cheng's mother, he slipped back to the male guest without even squinting his eyes, not to mention the little girls in the side hall, even the middle-aged and elderly women didn't have time to talk sentence. This guy left a few seven or eight-year-old boys, and brought Yuanfu's newly brewed fruit wine group to pour wine for the female guests, even in the side hall.

"Who invited him here? Does my family have an old relationship with the Yuan family?" Shaoshang bit his ear.

Cheng Cha shook her head: "There should be no friendship. However, Mr. Yuan said that the master of Shangguan and his father once worshipped under the same mentor."

This relationship sounds second only to the distance between Crystal Palace and Guanghan Palace. Shaoshang thought a little, and immediately understood.

Ask someone to do something'. According to the age estimate, that servant should be preaching for a certain elder. If she guessed correctly, 80% of it is the rotten peach blossom before the third aunt.

Thinking of this, Shaoshang hurriedly grabbed Cheng Cha's sleeve and asked lightly, "...What, sister, I'll ask you some knowledge..." She was a little embarrassed, "Is there any Such a gift, what Lantai, what a palace in the south of the city..."

Before she could finish her words, Cheng Hao laughed: "Isn't this the famous poem "Nagato" by Sima Fuzi? Ya just ran out for a while, so she was thinking about learning, my aunt knows Must be happy."

Shao Shang smirked a few times, then asked: "This fu... is it famous...?"

Cheng Cha felt a sting in her heart, she suddenly realized what a safe and warm place she had been living in, she didn't even look at anything. She forced herself to say softly: "It's not very famous, but many people love it for its elegant and graceful words, and it doesn't involve political affairs, so it is often read to the girls in the boudoir for fun."

Shao Shang nodded, this is what Cheng Yong said. In the last years of the previous dynasty, Emperor Rui was deeply afraid that the world would reflect his evil deeds, and he took **** measures to prevent it. The sequelae have not disappeared. It's done, Yuan Shen's servant is not sure how to laugh at himself in his stomach.

"...cousin," Shao Shang asked with a smile, "what do you think of that good-natured son?" Comparing the girl's **** in front of him, and seeing Cheng Hao's face as usual, she was born backwards Kind of respect.

Cheng Cha smiled bitterly: "From beginning to end, I have never seen this Young Master Yuan, what can I imagine."

Shore business. Yes, **** also need to teach the Basic Law. Cheng Cha has only been in the capital for a few months, unlike those girls who grew up in the capital, who have seen that deity long ago.

If you don't have an idea, it doesn't mean that others don't have an idea, Mrs. Xiao has a lot of ideas.

Although the Yuan family's family background is higher than that of the Cheng family, but it is not unattainable, not to mention the low family marrying a woman, the gap between the two is not enough to her wishful thinking. The next day, she arrested Cheng Yong and inquired about Yuan Shen in detail, but Cheng Yong was also at a loss.

"Shangguan Master's mentor is the senior brother of Shenxian Yan. His old man loves to teach apprentices in his life. Hundreds of thousands of people have listened to his teachings. This Master Yuan... may have heard of it... ?"

Mrs. Xiao hurriedly asked Yuan Shen's family whether they were married or not. When she learned that she was unmarried, she wondered: "Since he is an only son, and he is twenty-one, why is he still not married?"

Cheng Yong's head is as big as a fight, wondering: "I don't know this, my child. I only heard that Mrs. Yuan is famous for not caring about common things, and devotes herself to cultivating Taoism. Master Yuan is guarding the outside again, maybe it is The marriage has no one to take care of? But..." He remembered something, and said quickly, "Isn't it a time ago when Confucian scholars gathered to discuss scriptures, and there was a great Confucian at the dinner who admired him very much, and wanted to marry a daughter or a niece or something..."

"And then what?" Mrs. Xiao asked.

Cheng Yong said: "Yuan Shan said that the elders of the family had already made a proposal for his marriage, and it was inconvenient for him to make promises. Which girl or something? Yuan Shan turned cold when he saw it, took three or four fallacies in the book written by the great Confucian, and said, 'If Mr. If you give pointers, there will be no such negligence'. That Confucianist can't do it, so he left the palace and returned to his hometown on the same day."

Mrs. Xiao heard this, half happy and half worried, happy that Yuan Shen was really good, but worried that this marriage might not be easy. She asked her son again, "Do you think Chacha is suitable for him? I want to find a virtuous person to make peace with." The eldest son's tone was tight, and she was not afraid to say it.

Cheng Yong shook his head, disapproving in his heart: "It's hard to say. Yuan Shan sees this person with a warm and cold face, and looks easy-going, but he is very assertive. Unless he wants to, it is useless for others to beat him. , didn't that great Confucian boast that his daughter was virtuous and virtuous? Didn't he hit a wall." Saying "pro" means that matchmakers are all boasting about being excellent.

Mrs. Xiao hesitated, she still trusted the judgment of the eldest son. After a long pause, she sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't ask Yuan Shen to meet her yesterday." In fact, she wasn't very good at marriage.

Cheng Yong looked at her mother with strange eyes, endured and endured, and whispered: "Mum thinks...then Yuan Shan will be willing to...?" Do you think your cousin's appearance is amazing at first sight?

Mrs. Xiao glared at her son: "Don't say those superficial words. Isn't marrying a woman a matter of character?"

Cheng Yong immediately shut up when she saw her mother being rude.

Cheng Shi sometimes gets drunk and laughs at his sons about the romance of Mom and Dad. In other words, when he first saw Mrs. Xiao from a distance, he was like a lost soul for several days. Of course, after getting married, he found that his wife was very smart and capable. In addition, they lived and died together for decades. Naturally, he fell in love with Jiajing. More affectionate.

Cheng Yong is a man, or he knows what the young man thinks. Moreover, no matter how good the character and talent are, what can you do when you meet each other. Unless she is a famous and talented girl, it is possible to sympathize with each other, but Cheng Cha is not at this level.

However, he wouldn't say this. Anyway, we should marry the concubine first, so that we can talk about the marriage. This is called the order of the elders; the curl is still young, so don't be in a hurry.

Mrs. Xiao saw her son's expression, and it was not difficult to guess what he was thinking. In fact, she just spoke hard. If the man's mother came to see her, she would still be very confident in Cheng Cha; but according to what she heard just now, she also knew that although Yuan Shen had parents and elders, she had already supported her family vaguely, and the matter of marriage was not just to convince her. Parents can do it.

But how to let Yuan Shen ask for a marriage on his own? Mrs. Xiao couldn't help thinking hard.

She knows how to accumulate food and grass, how to arrange tents, and how to spy on the enemy's weaknesses and figure out the situation; but she is really not good at marrying her. She herself had been begging for each other's two marriages. Sang was chosen by Cheng Zhi after staying in Bailu Mountain for several years. Ge was ordered by her parents, and Cheng Cha did not touch any of the three.

Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but secretly complained about why Ge Shi was not born more beautiful, but thinking about Ge Taigong and his wife are honest and honest, they can't force anything. She sighed faintly, remembering that her deceased parents were all beautiful, she looked like Taigong Xiao, and having a daughter would look like Mrs. Xiao.

Thinking of her daughter being a young businessman, Mrs. Xiao wanted to sigh even more. These days, she leaves her daughter alone, and Shaoshang is not at all flustered, and behaves in a well-behaved way.

Every morning to ask the elders, no matter if Mother Cheng looks good or bad, or speaks good or bad, Shao Shang all sits up with the same expression, salutes with the same posture, and then leaves at the same time. Then there is daily reading and writing, or begging my brother to lead me out for a circle.

The places she went to were also very strange, most of which were shops, farms, farms and manors. She would take the trouble to inquire about the price of grain, cloth and daily necessities, and to ask old farmers in detail about things such as marriage and animal husbandry. .

Taking advantage of the sunny weather these few days, I also learned a set of five animal operas with Shao Gong. A few days ago, I even got some vegetable seeds, covered them indoors, raised them with soil and water by the smoker, and sent out dozens of vegetable seedlings, and then the whole family ate them all at once.

—Well, life is still colorful, even if you don’t want to see your mother.

Mrs. Xiao admitted that she had a wrong view of her daughter, but her husband was also completely wrong. Why is she too conceited, obviously her daughter is the most conceited person in the whole government, she just goes her own way.

But her good daughter still only says what she needs to say, only does what she needs to do, and doesn't give another look.

Mother Cheng lost her temper. Whether she sneered at her and put pressure on her, or tried to reconcile her relationship with her granddaughter, it was nothing. She once said resentfully to Cheng Shi, "Does Niao Niao still secretly hate me?".

Of course, Cheng Shi only had good things to say about his daughter.

So Mother Cheng was depressed. She spent the first ten years listening to Cheng Shi's defense, "Mum, you misunderstood Yuan Yi", and now she wants to listen to "Mum, you misunderstood Yuan Yi".

But this time, Mrs. Xiao understood her daughter inexplicably. Shaoshang is like this, not because of arrogance or conceit, she just refuses to forgive.

Mrs. Xiao had a faint feeling that her daughter didn't need a mother at all. Even when she first came to Tiankui a few days ago, she calmly ordered Ah Li to take care of everything. But how can there be a little girl in this world who doesn't need a mother? Even though she was as tough as Mrs. Xiao herself, she had deep expectations and reliance on Mrs. Xiao when she was young, although she was only disappointed in the end.

This feeling is uncomfortable and even a bit overwhelming.

However, the small businessman was at a loss at this time.

In the world, there are only three ways for people to be independent, either rich, famous, or powerful. That is to say, either doing business inventions, or writing knowledge, or entering the dynasty as an official.

Now that it is not a troubled time, it is obviously too difficult for her to be an official as a woman (not to mention that even in troubled times, she has no confidence to be a female general); it seems that it is not easy to do learning, after all, she has been a science student for many years , suddenly switch to liberal arts, no one or two decades of hard work can not produce academic results; then you can only do business and invent.

Many inventions are not something she can't come up with, but they can't be promoted.

For example, she can brew rice wine that is more mellow and purer than that on the market today, but now the chaos has just passed, and the emperor advocates thrift, but there is no prohibition order, where can you get so much grain do wine?

For another example, she is not unable to fiddle with the technology of greenhouse planting, but the amount is small and expensive, and even the Cheng family cannot afford it. .

For another example, she can also make soap, perfume and mouthwash salts, but the people who can afford food and clothing, who would buy this. There are also some things that she can't burn without enough burning heat and heat-resistant utensils.

Professor Herring said in class that the greatest value of Edison's test of tungsten filament is not a touching chicken soup essay, but tells us that scientific inventions that cannot be industrialized and mass-produced and popularized for civilian use are will not be accepted by the times.

So, can you only take the niche luxury route? Shaoshang thought hard, although she could study in her previous life, but after all, she has not yet stepped into the workplace, she faintly felt that dealing with the top elites is not so simple.

However, taking a small step is not without gain.

As for the improvement of food planting, Shao-shang is a little concerned, and she feels that she can improve the cumbersome waterwheel and farm implements... Then, she sighed for the 101st time, why not let her dress in It's a man, look at Yuan Shen's spirited appearance!

Thinking of this, Shao Shang suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Why did she think Yuan Shen's voice was familiar, because she had heard it before! The revolving lantern was so far away that he didn't speak at all. So Yuan Shen is the bamboo hydrangea!

However, she still won't work for the bamboo hydrangea.

On this day, Cheng Cha was ordered by Mrs. Xiao to go to the Cheng family's warehouse to count things, and by the way, she brought the listless young merchant. Fang Amei went out with a few health maids.

Mrs. Qing Li smiled in return for this: "You said that you are so motivated, you are afraid of this grievance and that you will be domineering, you are really a villain! I don't know how friendly and affectionate the little sisters are, so I climbed the board. Anche are all hand in hand."

Cheng Shi, who was wiping his armor, heard the words, and immediately smiled and wanted to speak. Mrs. Xiao pointed out a finger and glared at him: "Shut up!" Then she turned back to Qing Yan and said, "Okay. , it's all my fault, it's done!"
