Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 263 The Grandfather

In the following days, the Qin family was busy.On the one hand, Qin Shaotian had to coordinate the matter of recognizing the ancestors and returning to the clan.On the other hand, the eldest wife of the Qin family and Luo Yunrui also started to buy some properties in the capital.Regardless of whether the property in Luzhou city will be abandoned in the future, the property in the capital city has begun to be purchased.

In the process of buying property, Luo Yunrui unexpectedly found out that many of the shops she liked were Luo Zhang's dowry, which made her a little funny.After laughing, I felt a little sad again in my heart.Luo Zhang's father, Luo Yunrui's grandfather, is really capable.Back then, he single-handedly broke into the capital, and he had worked hard in less than ten years.Even now, from the mouths of some old people, I can still hear the deeds of my grandfather.

What a pity, God is jealous of talents.

However, Luo Yunrui never expected that after she accidentally revealed something about her grandfather in the process of buying a property, someone would come to ask to see Luo Yunrui in person.

Because it was a male guest, there was no reason for Luo Yunrui to meet in person, but when the other party said that he was grandfather's right-hand man and had important matters to discuss, Luo Yunrui had no choice but to meet.In the end, she discussed with Qin Shaotian, and Qin Shaotian came forward to receive her, while Luo Yunrui sat behind the screen, so she could have a conversation without directly facing the outsider.

The person who came was an old man nearly 60 years old, accompanied by a young man.After the two entered the door, they first cupped their hands towards the screen, and then explained their purpose of coming.

The old man was the one who claimed to be Luo Yunrui's grandfather's right-hand man, but he didn't come here this time to reminisce, but to tell Luo Yunrui something.

It turned out that the dowry that Luozhang got was not all the property of his grandfather at all. Of course, the Zhang family who was responsible for raising Luozhang did not covet the money, but kept it a secret.The person who concealed the money was none other than the grandfather himself.Naturally, he didn't do it to guard against his family or daughter, but because he was very optimistic about a deal at the time, but no one thought it was right, even his wife, who had always trusted him, opposed it.In addition, the sum of money was quite a lot. He was afraid that his family would be worried, so he secretly withheld the funds and bet on the deal without telling his family.

Not to mention Luo Zhang who was still in her infancy, even Luo Yunrui's grandmother didn't know about this matter.The only people who knew about it were the grandfather himself, the people who did business with him, and the old man in front of him.

My grandfather passed away very suddenly, without even explaining his last words.At that time, the old man in front of him was not in the capital at all, but left with the leader of the transaction.This departure is a full 20 years!
In the vicissitudes of life, 20 years can really change a lot of things.When he set foot on the land of the capital again and came back to look for the old owner, he was shocked to find that the old owner had passed away, and even the original Zhang's house had been sold.

Hearing this, Luo Yunrui finally couldn't help but said, "Why didn't you go look for my mother? She didn't sell the Zhuangzi shop here."

Back then, my grandfather's big house here was indeed sold, and Luo Yunrui couldn't explain the specific reason.Probably because it needs money to close some businesses, or maybe because the big house has no income, it is useless to keep it.However, those extremely profitable Zhuangzi's shops, whether it is the Zhang family or the Luo Zhang family, have not been used until now.Except that when Luo Yunrui got married, the Luozhang family gave her some properties near the capital, but the plaque has not been changed until now.

The old man smiled bitterly: "Miss Qin didn't know something. At the beginning, the master's business was very big, and there were many cronies around him who were in charge of various businesses. I was responsible for following up the big business, but I was in the Zhuangzi shop in the capital. Totally hands-off."

Luo Yunrui didn't see the appearance of the old man, but she felt a sense of majesty when she heard the voice.Come to think of it, this old man is not an ordinary person.

Hearing that there was no movement behind the screen for a while, Qin Shaotian opened his mouth to smooth things over: "After talking so much, you still haven't asked the old man's name?"

"I'm an orphan, and I was given the surname Zhang by the master." The old man hesitated for a moment: "At the beginning, I also looked for the master's family, but I was from the capital, and the master never told me where he was from, and I told him The other cronies have not been contacted, and 20 years have passed by then, it is really powerless!"

"Then, may I ask, what is the purpose of the old man's visit this time?" Qin Shaotian has seen the world after all, and his thoughts are fundamentally different from Luo Yunrui's.In fact, he only cares about the result and not the process.

"I've come to ask for something and I've come to give something back."

Qin Shaotian was a little suspicious, he was quite clear about the Luo family, but he was completely unclear about Luo Yunrui's grandparent's family.However, to judge what a person’s intentions are, you only need to look at what he wants, and you can figure it out: “Dare to ask what the old man needs? What do you plan to return?”

"What I want is a waist pendant. It was originally a token that the master never left. After all, I have never seen the master's daughter. Besides, I have been back in the capital for more than 20 years. The granddaughter of the master is so old. Even if I’ve seen it before, I don’t dare to recognize it.” The old man paused for a moment, but spoke again with a solemn tone: “As for the return, I won’t tell you until I’ve seen the waist pendant. I just want to say one thing, I am definitely not a person who cheats people of money. Even if it is the waist pendant I want, I just want to see it, and I will not take it away. Entrust me with goods worth at least 10 taels of silver."

Qin Shaotian's eyebrows twitched. The meaning of the old man's words could not be more clear. As long as the identity can be confirmed, the items he returns are worth at least 10 taels of silver!

"Well, we will go back to Luzhou City in the near future, and see if we can find that waist pendant. By the way, last time I heard that Brother Rui is very knowledgeable, maybe this time he will come to the capital to study Maybe." Seeing that the old man was puzzled, Qin Shaotian explained: "Brother Rui is my wife's younger brother, if things can be corrected, then he is your master's grandson."

The old man was a little excited at the time: "Okay, if I can see the grandson of the master in this life, I will be able to see my eyesight even after death. Do you want to go to school? Going to school is not a problem. My son-in-law was the number one scholar last year. He knows quite a few Learned man!"
