As Jinxi said, although she and Yinzhen supported Xiao Yu and Qin Langyue's matter, the elders of the two families were most likely confused and disappointed.
Just after Qi Ke's wedding, Xiao Yu was kicked out of his position as head of the family by the elders of the Xiao family. The person who took his place as the head of the Xiao family was the eldest son of the second brother-in-law, Xiao Wang. In terms of talent and courage, he was far from the best.
Not as good as Xiao Yu, Xiao Jingshan, the eldest son of the family, had nothing to do but sigh.
Because of Xiao Yu's matter, he had not slept well for many days. When he approached Jinxi, he was helpless.
"Don't be busy Sifujin. I came to disturb Sifujin today because of the dog's business." Seeing Jinxi serving tea and passing pastries, Xiao Jingshan looked a little shy and waved his hands to stop him.
Before getting married, he and Jinxi could chat and joke like they had been friends for years. But now, she is the prince Fujin, and he is just the predecessor of the merchant family, oh, no, now it should be said that he is the subordinate of the predecessor.
Come on, the difference in status between them is as big as clouds and mud. She has already given him enough face by being invited to come out of the palace. How can he have the nerve to let Jinxi rush around to entertain him personally?
"Uncle Xiao, put aside our previous friendship, and just talk about Xiao Yu's friendship with me and Yinzhen, you are also the elder of my uncle generation. What's more, my mother-in-law and Fujin of the second uncle Xiao's family are close friends.
, there is no way to escape from this entangled relationship." Jinxi comforted her with a smile. She did not include Chun'an, who was also the daughter-in-law of Xiao Jingshan's concubine.
"Well, speaking of this kid Yu'er... I really can't do anything with him." When Xiao Yu was mentioned, Xiao Jingshan's expression suddenly turned dark. He sighed: "That day, after being scolded by several elders,
He left home in anger and hasn't returned yet. Although I don't understand his decision, as a legitimate son, after being angry and angry, I really don't want anything to happen to him..."
As Jin Xi listened, he glanced at a certain calligraphy and painting on the wall with his eyes. Behind the wall, wasn't it Xiao Yu, whom Xiao Jingshan could never find?
She only learned from Yinzhen this morning that the lobby and private rooms in Xiteng Teahouse were all covered with listening devices. She couldn't help but feel angry and funny.
If it hadn't been for Xiao Yu's matter, she would have been kept in the dark. Humph. It was said to be a gift to her, but it turned out that it was premeditated. It really changed the skin but not the core...
"Uncle Xiao was worried too much. I think Xiao Yu felt more guilty than angry, so he ran away in anger and avoided seeing me." According to Xiao Yu, he hadn't even summoned up the courage to explain to his parents, so he was
Someone reported him on the spot and exposed him. In front of the elders, he admitted that he fell in love with a man, but he no longer had the courage to face his parents' accusations and complaints. So he took advantage of the limelight and took refuge in the Xiteng Teahouse.
However, it was said that they were seeking refuge. During the five days they ran away from home, Xiao Yu and Qin Lang stayed together all day long, and they were not afraid of being bumped into by acquaintances. Perhaps this was Xiao Yu's plan. Since it was already known to the family, he simply chose to be with Qin Lang.
The relationship between Qin Langyue and him was fair and square.
But, will Qin Langyue's parents accept Xiao Yu as their daughter-in-law?
Thinking of this, Jin Xi couldn't help but get a headache again. However, when she looked up and saw Xiao Jingshan who was also troubled, Jin Xi realized that there were many people who were more upset than her about Xiao Yu and Qin Langyue.
Then he asked softly: "Uncle Xiao is coming today..."
"To be honest with Sifujin, Yu'er's mother has not eaten or slept well for several days because of worry. Yu'er has been away from home for a few days, and I have also suffered from insomnia for a few days. After thinking about it, I just hope that Yu'er
Don't do anything stupid. This kid has a strong character. Even if it's his marriage, even if his mother and I want to interfere, we probably won't be able to do much. So, I came today for no other reason than to...
I heard that Yu'er's... ahem... lover is one of Si Fujin's subordinates... I think..."
After listening to Xiao Jingshan's shameful request, Jinxi suppressed a smile and signaled Jiangrui to invite Qin Langyue.
"Uncle Xiao, to tell you the truth, I only learned about this at the beginning of the month. However, it's not easy for others to comment on emotional matters. If they really treat each other sincerely, we can't fight against each other. What do you think?
Yes or no?"
"...Yes...Yes..." Xiao Jingshan choked up at Jinxi's "beating the mandarin ducks", and then became happy. Although he had four wives and concubines, he did not have many children. Except for five
The only married daughters left are Xiao Yu and Xiao Sheng's two sons, one legitimate and one concubine. Xiao Sheng was lazy and lazy since he was a child, and even more lazy when he grew up. He thought that after marrying a daughter-in-law, his temperament would be more restrained, but unexpectedly
, there was an illegitimate child incident at the end of last year, and their eldest son was not allowed to lose face among the Xiao family. I thought that after Xiao Yu took over the business of the Xiao family, he would be able to maintain the eldest son's relationship among the Xiao family's houses.
An unfailing position, but I didn’t expect...
Alas, what an injustice...How could a man and a man...how could they be so awkward...Although there were many similar rumors among the people in history, who was not the best, it was Xiao Yu, whom he loved and respected the most.
…
Jinxi did not bother him, but considerately filled his half-empty cup with the finest fragrant tea. Then she quietly leaned on the sofa chair and meditated with Xiao Jingshan.
After a while, there was a knock on the door, and Qin Langyue walked in accompanied by Jiang Rui.
"You...you're not..." Xiao Jingshan was brought back from his thoughts by the knock on the door, but was shocked by Qin Langyue who came in. Isn't this Qin Langyue, the boss of Xiteng Tea House? Could it be that he is Yu'er's...
…
"Mr. Xiao, please accept Lang Yue's obeisance." Qin Langyue was nervous, but she didn't show any restraint in her actions. She immediately kowtowed to Xiao Jingshan.
"No, no, no... Xiao can't bear it... No, how... why is it you... what I want to find is obviously..." Xiao Jingshan still couldn't believe it.
How could he not know Qin Langyue's name? In Beijing, anyone who has come into contact with business matters, even a small grocery store owner, knows Qin Langyue. It can be said that Qin Langyue is now the most popular person in the city's business community.
The great shopkeeper who is admired and awed by his colleagues...
Thinking about himself, didn't he have the idea of recruiting Qin Langyue to work in his own business? However, as soon as the Xiteng Tea House was established, the owner was the fourth prince Fujin. As a result, it was difficult for him to speak, so he gave up.
.
But I didn't expect... I really didn't expect... He, Qin Langyue, would actually become his... Uh, no, no, no, I haven't even written these horoscopes yet, and I still don't know who is whose daughter-in-law...
…Oh, it’s really messy...
Here, Xiao Jingshan was immersed in his own thoughts, without any wind or confusion.
On that side, Qin Langyue stood helplessly in front of Jinxi with her hands lowered, accepting her inquiries from the corner of her eye.
Since Xiao Yu defected to Xiteng, he has been avoiding his master and his wife for five days. It's not that he doesn't want to make any response, but... he really doesn't know how to explain it to his parents.
If this were to be publicized, his simple and sincere father and mother would react directly, and they would definitely be sad and desperate. The only son, actually... Even if they are willing to accept this kind of themselves, even if they can bear the strong will of their neighbors
It is not a pity that he should kneel in front of his parents for three days and three nights for a small gift from the villagers: because starting from his generation, the Qin family will be cut off...
"Ahem...I mean Lang Yue...can I call you like this? I don't know about you and Yu'er...To be honest, Yu'er's mother is still frowning and doesn't know how to solve the problem between you two...I don't know about you.
As for parents..."
Xiao Jingshan stumbled and opened his mouth. In the end, even he blushed. He originally wanted to negotiate with Xiao Yu's sweetheart, but in the end, why did he end up talking about their future plans?
Jin Xi, who was watching the interaction between the two, was snickering. It seemed that Xiao Yu knew his father well enough. No, his father had already figured it out after five days. If it happened again,
If you give him some time, he will be willing to prepare for his son's marriage.
Well, you can't say that. It's not certain who will marry Xiao Yu and Qin Langyue... On the surface, Lang Yue, who has a gentle and elegant temperament, is eaten to death by the strong and domineering Xiao Yu, but the key point is that...
At this moment, it seems that Xiao Yu cares more about Lang Yue...
Qin Langyue was moved by Xiao Jingshan's awkward words, and immediately replied respectfully: "To be honest, Langyue's parents don't know anything about this matter. Langyue is just thinking about finding a suitable time to go back."
Report to the second elder..."
"I'll go!" As soon as these words came out, not only Qin Langyue, but also Jin Xi was shocked. The two couldn't help but look at each other, and countless thoughts flashed in their hearts. Xiao Yu went to the Qin family to explain the matter.
In the scene, could it be that he wanted to start with the second elder of the Qin family to end his son's abnormal sexual orientation?
"Haha... Don't get me wrong. That's what I think. Since Xiao Yu and Lang Yue have already identified each other, let me just come and propose marriage." In this way, he is still marrying his wife, not his daughter.
.
Jinxi finally understood Xiao Jingshan's little thoughts. Seeing Qin Langyue's face turning red and white, he shook his head and intervened: "Uncle Xiao, let's discuss this matter later. We should solve the urgent matter first.
Whether Xiao Yu returns to the Xiao family or not is a matter of whether he should be in charge of the Xiao family." As for the relationship between Xiao Yu and Qin Langyue, it is not too late to wait until the dispute over the Xiao family's control is resolved before thinking of countermeasures.
"Hey, don't you think I hope Yu'er can regain the business power of the Xiao family? But the decision of the elders is not the final decision of our eldest family..."
"That's just right. Xiao Yu has asked me to send you a message, saying that he won't go back to Xiao's house for the time being and wants to make a career in the business world on his own." In fact, he is setting up his own business. Jinxi sipped.
He drank tea and said slowly. He hoped Xiao Jingshan would not be so angry that he vomited blood after hearing these words.
That guy Xiao Yu asked her to be a bad person, while he hid behind the wall and peeped.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingshan did not get angry as Jin Xi expected. Instead, he pondered for a moment and sighed: "That's okay. It doesn't matter if he has this idea. Now the second-in-command of the Xiao family will definitely try every means to suppress us. It's better...
However, this matter should not be made public, let him act in a low-key manner..."
"Don't worry about this. Your son is very capable. Maybe in a few years, the Xiao family business will have to change a plaque to hang it." The implication of Jin Xi's words is that Xiao Yu founded Xiao
The Xiao family trading house will definitely replace the current Xiao family trading house.
Xiao Jingshan couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he hoped that his son could have such a future, he really didn't want to turn against the Xiao family. (To be continued)
