Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 42
After several days of driving, Mrs. Liu's carriage finally stopped outside Xianyang City.

It's just that Mrs. Liu had his family crest removed on purpose, and nothing representing his identity was left on the carriage. The large number of servants who accompanied him were deliberately divided into two groups and entered the city in a low-key manner.

Everyone in Xianyang City recognized Liu Shao's face, so he even wore a veiled hat on his face. All of this was naturally the old man Liu's idea.

In the restaurant, grandparents and grandchildren were sitting opposite each other, Mr. Liu asked coldly, "Do you know why I did this?"

Liu Shao bowed his head and answered: "Grandfather wants to know himself and the enemy, so that he can win every battle."

Mrs. Liu snorted coldly: "That's right, although your mother and grandmother described the behavior of the Kong family in every possible way in their letters, but hearing is believing is believing, I just want to see if the Kong family is really rampant." That's the point."

Liu Shao has not been back for many years, but this time he is sitting in a familiar restaurant, but he wants to hide his head and show his tail, all because of that Kong Linglong.

This restaurant was exactly where Liu Liangyue stayed before, and the storyteller was also talking eloquently.

The people at the table next to him bowed their heads and said, "The story that Mr. Storyteller told today is not very interesting. How can it compare with the jokes he told the day before yesterday!"

One person remembered the time before, and was still a little excited: "Especially that day, Miss Liu paid off the storyteller to make up Ms. Kong's words. That sentence is really more exciting than every sentence!"

Hearing this, Liu Shao couldn't help but glance to the side. Ms. Liu paid off Mr. Storyteller?There is only one lady in his Liu family who is a legitimate descendant, and that is the one next to Mrs. Liu.It's just that Liu Shao couldn't imagine for a while, that when she left home a few years ago, the young girl who was obviously only her own waist and height, could do such a thing as bribery?

Liu Shao glanced at Mrs. Liu, seeing that Mrs. Liu did not respond, so he remained silent.

The next table was already talking about rising, and some people couldn't hold back their voices and said: "Actually, in my opinion, it's because the Liu family is not doing things properly. A while ago, the cousin of the Liu family was brazenly saying that the lady of the Liu family I have never looked down on Ms. Kong before, since I looked down on her, why did you go to propose marriage in person?"

One person said: "Isn't it? Back then, it was Mrs. Liu who came to the door repeatedly and gained a good reputation for nothing. Who would have known that what Mrs. Liu did was the same thing. Their eldest wife simply hated Miss Kong when she came in!"

Someone who didn't know the truth asked: "Since Mrs. Liu's family doesn't like Miss Kong, why did she agree to this relationship in the first place?"

Yes, yes, when I asked this question, I asked something that many people couldn't understand.

But seeing the first person who spoke just now, he said mysteriously again: "I have heard a rumor."

Several people immediately asked: "What rumor?"

The man lowered his voice, but no matter whether it was Liu Shao or Mrs. Liu, they could hear clearly: "I heard that it was because of the wealth of the Kong family, and at that time Mr. Kong had only Miss Kong as his granddaughter. Everyone in Xianyang knew that Kong No matter how many people there are in the family, the family business will always be passed on to the direct line, that is, to Miss Kong, so the Liu family has taken a fancy to Miss Kong as an orphan, and the family business will definitely not be able to survive in the future. With Sun as the bargaining chip, after marrying Ms. Kong, isn't that the same as marrying the entire Kong family?"

"Crack", Liu Shao was startled, and saw that the old lady Liu on the opposite side put down the teacup in his hand heavily, with a dark face, stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Liu Shao didn't dare to stay any longer, so he stood up immediately, left a piece of silver on the table, and left with Old Master Liu.

The people at the next table looked at it and couldn't help cursing: "Crazy!"

Unexpectedly, sitting and listening in a restaurant not only completely verified what Mrs. Liu said in her letter, but even surpassed it.Mrs. Liu's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The first 20 years of his life were considered poor, but after that, he embarked on an official career, and it was all smooth sailing. He has never been as embarrassing as he is today.

After entering Liu's house, the eldest lady of the Liu family had already received the news and came out in a hurry. Even the old lady Liu, although she was handicapped, prepared a banquet in the courtyard early, waiting for the old lady Liu and her grandson Liu Shao to come back. Attend to celebrate.

But even Mrs. Liu would never have imagined that the current old master Liu and Liu Shao are not in the mood to celebrate at all.

……

"You guys did a good job." Mrs. Liu sneered, looking at Mrs. Liu and the rest of the Liu family who were called over.

Mrs. Liu was trembling in her heart. Facing Mrs. Liu, she was even more afraid than facing Mrs. Liu. No matter what, she knelt first: "Daughter-in-law is willing to submit to punishment."

Although Mrs. Liu didn't say anything, she could guess a little bit. Mrs. Liu just didn't understand why Mrs. Liu would make trouble on the first day she came back.

Mrs. Liu who rushed over after hearing the news saw her husband whom she hadn't seen for many days, so she didn't have time to reveal anything, she just looked at Mrs. Liu and said nothing.

It was Liu Shao who broke the silence: "The words of the people on the street are just rumors after all, and should not be taken as the truth. Grandfather doesn't have to be so angry."

Mrs. Liu finally understood in her heart that the grandparents and grandson had heard bad rumors while walking on the street, and couldn't help but gritted their teeth and secretly hated them.It's all that exquisite hole.

Mrs. Liu said coldly: "My Liu family lives and lives in Xianyang, but now it is said that it is greedy for a businessman's money. You have so many women at home, but you are being played around by a merchant girl. It is no wonder that outsiders look down on the Liu family now. Even I feel ashamed."

Mrs. Liu's thoughts were dark, and she was really angry to say such a thing. Mrs. Liu was sweating coldly, and she didn't dare to say a word.

At this time, Mrs. Liu suddenly remembered the day when Kong Linglong retired from the engagement, and said sarcastically, "Your Liu family wants this marriage because of money."

She was so ashamed at that time, but now that she thinks about it, she feels a sense of sympathy.

Mrs. Liu said in a deep voice at this time: "The eldest daughter-in-law's work is indeed incomplete. The daughter of the Kong family rode on our heads and said that we were greedy for money, and we didn't even think about it. What kind of status does our Liu family need from her? Is it stinky silver?"

Everyone in the Liu family was speechless for a while, but what they said was respectable. Even a girl in the Liu family knew it well. I don't know why the Liu family would put down their dignity and let their eldest son, whom they regarded as the best in the world, marry Kong Linglong because Kong Linglong was rich.

But Mrs. Liu admitted her mistake very straightforwardly: "It's all the daughter-in-law's fault. The daughter-in-law has no way to control her, so she let the screwdriver talk nonsense. The daughter-in-law must strictly discipline her in the future, be vigilant against herself, and never do it again."

At this time, an angry voice suddenly said: "This matter is not the mother's fault, why are you blaming the mother?!"

It was Liu Liangyue who rushed over directly, with the attitude of a mother-in-law who would not give up.

Mrs. Liu sighed in her heart, after all, there is a difference between biological and biological. Liu Shao was raised by her side in name, but he still wouldn't protect her at critical times.

Liu Shao Wenyan said to Liu Liangyue: "Liangyue, don't meddle with your children when the adults speak."

But Liu Liangyue was even more angry: "Brother, why are you blaming your mother? It's clear that Kong Linglong doesn't like you and doesn't want to marry you. Mother is just trying to save your face. Now that my brother is back, why don't you go to find that Kong Linglong?" A good account?!"

Sometimes children are more daring than adults in speaking, and they will say everything that others dare not say, but others cannot say that she is wrong.Besides, Liu Liangyue is not considered a child anymore, it's hard to say that she has no intentions in what she said.

Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the quiet needle drop could be heard in the hall.Old Master Liu had a sullen face, but he didn't reprimand Liu Liangyue.

It was the eldest lady of the Liu family who looked at her daughter complicatedly, and said softly: "Yue'er, if you say this, your brother will misunderstand."

Liu Liangyue pouted and said nothing, obviously not convinced.

Mrs. Liu looked at Liu Shao slowly, and said softly: "Shao Er, Miss Kong didn't say anything about you. What she said was targeting our Liu family."

Mrs. Liu's words were more scheming. On the surface, she was explaining for Liu Shao, but in fact, she raised the height to the entire Liu family. No matter how important Liu Shao is, he is still a member of the Liu family.

Old Master Liu snorted coldly: "Why does she, Kong Linglong, look down on our Liu family?"

Mrs. Liu knelt up straight, her expression became solemn: "My daughter-in-law dare not lie to her father, that's what Kong Linglong said to her daughter-in-law that day, saying that their Kong family, 'If you want money, you need people,' our Liu family What are you comparing them to?"

If you want money, you need money, you need people, these are exactly what Kong Linglong said that day, and it took root in Mrs. Liu's heart like a thorn.

At this time, she said it to Mrs. Liu, and she believed that the effect would still be the same.

Mrs. Liu's fists were clenched extremely tightly. If he was present at that day's situation, he might not be more calm than Mrs. Liu.He might ask someone to take down that Kong Linglong on the spot and deport him directly to the government, so that Kong Linglong can understand who it is, who wants more money and people.

Mrs. Liu knocked her head to the ground: "The daughter-in-law knows that she was humiliated by Kong Linglong, so she can only ruthlessly withdraw the engagement, because if the merchant woman is asked to spread it outside, it will only embarrass the Liu family and Shao'er. Everything It's all a proposition made by the daughter-in-law out of desperation, the daughter-in-law failed to better protect the reputation of the Liu family, and she is willing to be blamed by her father and mother!"

Having said all this, how can you blame him?Mrs. Liu loosened her fist and looked at Mrs. Liu: "Daughter-in-law, get up first."

Mrs. Liu kowtowed gratefully before getting up from the ground.

It was only then that Mrs. Liu was twirling the beads and said, "Anyway, since the old man is back, this matter must be settled. My Liu family has never been ridden on the head. Now if the old man can't Shock the gate and let outsiders know how powerful it is, our Liu family has taken root in Xianyang for a hundred years."

It is also a century-old family, but the Kong family is older and more popular.

Everyone in the Liu family was waiting for Mrs. Liu to speak. They had done so much before, and Kong Linglong beat them up no matter what they did. Now, they only see what tricks old Mrs. Liu can come up with.
