Chapter 320 Unscrupulous profiteers
Last night, Mr. Yun discovered nothing, although Mr. Yun was still a little uneasy. If such a big thing was revealed, the Su family would be over. After all, the Su family committed the crime of hijacking the imperial court's disaster relief money this time, which is no different from the open rebellion. Even if Yun Che does not want to pursue this matter, how could the government easily let the Su family go if it finds out.
Returning from the ancestral hall to her residence, Su Jinxin lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a night, but still couldn't figure it out. The next day, before dawn, she got up early, and after meals, she took a walk in the courtyard.
At this time, the vermilion red front door of the Su family was wide open, but the door was deserted and no one came to the door. If the uncles and uncles of the Su family had already brought their families from their respective mansions to greet Mr. Su, but this year, Mr. Su spoke, who would go to greet the third bedroom, would he not be able to get along with him. Mr. Su is already petty and loves face more than Mr. Su. He wants him to put down the Su family, unless Su Jinxin personally invites him to invite him, he will hold the stand.
As for other Su family members, when the Su family business was settled at the end of the year, they not only did not get any benefits, but also were seized by Miss Su Er. They all hated Miss Su Er. Although they did not dare to offend this Su family's legitimate lady who held great power, they kept making small moves in private, and wanted the three families of the Su family to be embarrassed and let the people in Lin'an City laugh at it. Look, no one of them came to the Su family to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, which was not the betrayal of the relatives.
Compared to the desertedness in front of the Su Mansion, the street not far from the Su family is loud and bustling, as if the people of the entire Lin'an City were mobilized and crowded.
"Miss Second, are you dancing dragon lanterns outside?" Qiaolan said excitedly.
"No, to be precise, it should be a louvered dragon." A gentle voice suddenly sounded, and then the young man in a blue shirt slowly stepped into the Su family's mansion gate and said slowly while walking, "The popular dragon dance lantern in our Lin'an Prefecture is different from other prefectures and counties. The louvered dragon is made of lotus flowers, and the dragon's scales are the lotus petals. Around the louvered dragon, there is a young woman holding lotus lanterns dancing around. It is really a beauty entering the lotus pond, leaving a fragrant dress and a hairpin. It is difficult not to be enchanted."
It was Liang Mengchen, the tyrant businessman. Su Jinxin stared at him with a bad tone, "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm giving gifts. I heard that you got engaged to Yun Che. I have to be so pleased no matter how you want to scold me for being stingy and unscrupulous businessman." Liang Mengchen raised his hand, and several Liang family servants carried heavy boxes into the Su family's mansion.
Didn’t he give a betrothal gift? He could use boxes of boxes to carry it? Also, when did Liang Mengchen, the tyrant, change his nature? Giving her a gift, it would be a weasel to wish the chicken a New Year. He was not kind enough, Su Jinxin looked at the boxes of gifts with a suspicion, and glanced at Liang Mengchen again, which made Master Liang frightened. This cunning woman would not have taken a look at him again.
Liang Mengchen immediately thought of Miss Su Er in Lin'an Academy and took his small abacus made of red gold as already. At this moment, Miss Su Er's clear eyes narrowed slightly again, and hurriedly protected the small abacus made of white jade hanging in front of her. Her gentle speech became anxious, "Su Jinxin, the woman in the world is so greedy, this is the first time I see you."
"This is the first time I have seen a man in the world who speaks so gently and slowly like Master Liang." Su Jinxin retorted without mercy.
"You!" This greedy and mean woman actually cursed him like a woman. He spoke a little slower, but he didn't look like a woman, so he was so angry that Liang Mengchen's gentle face turned red. "Seeing a gentleman's belly by a villain's heart, Su Jinxin, you should change your temper, otherwise I am afraid that you will be swept out by your aunt within a few days of marrying into the Yun family."
It’s not certain who drives whom to go out. Miss Su Er snorted coldly in her heart, walked forward, brushing the boxes of gifts with bare hands, "I only know that I can show my diligence if I have nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what’s the purpose of coming to me?" Liang Mengchen, a tyrant, was not busy making money, but came to the Su family to pay New Year’s greetings to her on the first day after the New Year. It would be strange if you were fine.
"Mistress Jinxin." A gentle voice rang slowly. Liang Mengchen looked flattering. Su Jinxin subconsciously shivered and said with disgust, "We are not that familiar."
Liang Mengchen was stunned, but he still smiled flatteringly, "My Jinxin, that's it. I want to stay in your house for a few days. Haha, Sister Jinxin, I know that you have always been anxious about your righteousness and are a hero among women. If you are in trouble, you will definitely help me, right?"
Su Jinxin understood as soon as he heard this. Now everyone in Lin'an City knew that the daughter of the Liu Prefecture was attracted to the eldest son of the Liang Mansion. Although Liu Shujing used to like Mr. Yun, Mr. Yun was the future young master of the Yun Mansion. The Liu family could not afford it. But this time it would be different if it was Liang Mengchen. The Liu family was a family of officials. The Liu family was even more insincere. Master Liang held the military and political power of the Lin'an Mansion. Master Liang was unreasonable and was not moved. Su Jinxin smiled and gloated, "I'll just say, you bring so many boxes to our Su family. It turned out that they came to take refuge." It was probably not a gift in the box. It was probably the commonplace businessman Liang Mengchen, who changed clothes on weekdays.
"Miss Jinxin is indeed extremely intelligent, haha..." Seeing that Su Jinxin had seen through, Liang Mengchen generously admitted.
"It's okay to live in a small house, but I am afraid that our little Su family will not be able to support you, Master Liang, who is as pampered as Master Liang." To put it bluntly, I don't want to live in the Su family if I don't give money. The God of Wealth who is delivered to my door will not take the opportunity to get some money. Thanks to Miss Su Er stretched out her bare hands and Qiaolan, who was following Su Jinxin, hurriedly handed her Chijin small abacus.
"Ten taels a day, if you live in Su's house for half a month, if we meet each other, even if you have a hundred taels of silver, oh, by the way, you have to add your usual meals." Miss Su Er quickly tweaked the red gold abacus, "Well, there are a total of five hundred taels."
What, using his little red gold abacus, he can actually give up this high price. How could she calculate it? It's too smart. Liang Mengchen stared at him in anger, "You might as well go and grab it!"
"That's it, Qiaolan, I'll send someone to inform Mr. Liang later, and say Mr. Liang is in our Su family, wait, don't forget to go to Liu's mansion again..."
Miss Su Er smiled, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liang Mengchen. He angrily took out a few silver notes from his sleeve, "This is one thousand taels, don't attract that fat lady to me." You said that the most dangerous place is the safest. The fat lady has always been afraid that Su Jinxin, a snobbish woman, would hide in the Su family, than to stay in the Liang family and be forced to get married.
"Miss Qiaolan, right? Take me to the wing room." Liang Mengchen slowly walked towards the Su family's courtyard, not polite at all.
"I heard that Master Liang is very talented and is a new juren." After walking a few steps, he heard the woman behind him laughing more and more kindly. Liang Mengchen only felt a chill on his back. What else did this cunning woman want to do?
"My Yi'er is ten years old this year, so she should read more books. Just so happens that our Su family still lacks a teacher."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Mengchen staggered and almost tripped to the ground.
Then, he turned around angrily, so angry that he could hardly speak, "Su Jinxin, you... you are cruel enough!" He not only extorted a thousand taels of silver, but also used him thoroughly. The dignified young master of the Liang family actually fell to teach the eldest master of their Su family, which was too much bullying.
"Qiaolan, go outside the mansion to see if Miss Liu has arrived," Su Jinxin said carelessly, "Miss. I remember, Shujing said that she would come to our Su family to wish me a happy new year today."
"You...!" Liang Mengchen's face turned green with anger.
"Our Su family does not support idle people. Qinglan, if you take Mr. Liang to the eldest son's study, you will say that he is a new teacher, so he will follow Mr. Liang well." If Gu Xiaoliu did not take over the Su family, Fan Fan could only take over. But Fan Fan doesn't like studying. Liang Mengchen, a tycoon, is a juren, is more than enough to teach Fan Fan to study.
Even though Liang Mengchen's kindness was so angry that his eyes were blazed by Miss Su Er at this moment, how could there be such a cold and greedy woman in this world? He gave her one thousand taels just now? She didn't treat him, a distinguished guest of the Su family, but instead criticized him as a teacher. Su Jinxin's woman is really unhearted and too unhearted.
Qinglan was so scared by Liang Mengchen with a dark face. This is the future young master of the Liang family. How could the second lady treat him as a teacher? Will he be too degraded?
"Mr. Liang." The second lady's order was not violated. Qinglan shouted timidly, "Mr. Liang, please come here."
"Young Master, you really want to be..." Liang Mengchen's personal servant Liang Wu asked carefully. This time, the young master took refuge and became a teacher. If the master knew about it, he would be angry to death.
"I'm talking nonsense, let them carry the box in quickly." Liang Mengchen wanted to knock Liang Wu's head with the jade abacus on his body, but he felt sorry for the jade abacus that he had broken it, so he had to lose a lot of money. After enduring it, Liang Mengchen took a heavy breath, calmed down his mind, and squeezed a smile on his gentle face, "I am honored by Miss Su Er, and I am so honored. Let's go, let's go to the study now."
Su Jinxin, I want me to teach your younger brother, haha, I am not afraid that I will mislead my children and teach your younger brother badly. Liang Mengchen thought in his heart that if this mean woman dares to treat him like this, he will bully her younger brother and ask her to regret it and let him be a teacher. However, after a stick of incense, the elegant young master Liang screamed and fled out of the Su family's study in a panic, as if he was escaping. But behind him was Fan Yichu's cunning laughter.
These brothers and sisters in the Su family are really more treacherous than the other!
