Troubled World Merchant

Chapter 14

The old housekeeper began to think again: "Master, since Miss Zhao's family has married someone else, it doesn't count as our bad faith. Let's marry another girl from another family. The second daughter of Cheng's family in Dongtou Fangguzhai is 20 years old this year, and her age is just right." , Boss Cheng asked me today, saying that he intends to marry our family."

Duan Jintang thought for a while: "Just that wild boy who can't get married?" The old housekeeper coughed: "The girl is a little more cheerful, so why can't she get married?" Duan Jintang smiled, he knew that the second girl of the Cheng family , when he went to the store to look at antiques, he met her a few times, carefree, a lady from a big family was selling goods at the counter, Duan Jintang shook his head, he was a little afraid of her, this girl bargained too hard, she was more stingy than him, Not a single favor can be gained from her.

Seeing Duan Jintang shaking his head, the old butler said another thing: "Boss Dong's youngest daughter is twenty-eight years old this year. She is beautiful and gentle. Boss Dong always praises everyone." Duan Jintang looked at the jade tea bowl in his hand: "That Dong Lin The old guy also asked you to be a matchmaker." The old housekeeper smiled embarrassedly: "Master's character and appearance are favored by everyone." Duan Jintang looked at him in surprise, thinking that it would not be easy for him to praise himself out of conscience, Duan Jintang sighed: "Uncle Zhang, how many people are still staring at me as the eldest mistress of the Duan family."

The old housekeeper sighed: "Master, when you get married, you won't be alone. There will be someone to accompany you during the New Year holidays." Duan Jintang paused for a while, he thought Ye Shaojun should be at home now, the family must be very happy. It's lively, the day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the day after tomorrow is the second day of junior high school, there are still a few days until they come, and Ye Shaojun may not come, he would rather help others than come to see him, then he won't come .

The old butler thought he had impressed him, so he continued: "Master, look, I'm going to find a matchmaker to go to Dong's house and talk about it." Duan Jintang was awakened by his words when he was distracted, and he waved his hands again and again: "No, Uncle Zhang, who is going to propose a marriage during Chinese New Year?" Uncle Zhang strikes while the iron is hot: "The holidays are better, this is called double happiness."

Duan Jintang thought about that old fox Dong Lin and shook his head again and again. This old guy is good, and the Dong family jade shop is also very good. If you marry a decoration, you also need to put a beautiful vase.

Duan Jintang judged people by their appearance, and rejected Boss Dong. The old housekeeper simply went to the room and took out a list, all of which were the names of girls who were twenty-eight years old and hadn't betrothed yet.Duan Jintang looked at the string of names and said one by one: "Dong's Jade, Zhao's Medicinal Materials, Cheng's Antiques, Liu's Rice, Wang's Bank..."

The old butler looked at him and sighed silently. Their master knew which one they were just by looking at their names. Didn't he pay attention to the girls at all?It's strange that he is a young master, he doesn't care about the girl's family so much, he used to be a young man, and in the past three years, he was regarded as a filial piety for the old man, but the filial piety period is about to pass, he always wants to marry a wife .

The old housekeeper wanted to chatter with him, but Duan Jintang became a little impatient: "Uncle Zhang, I'm hungry, let's get ready to eat, let's talk about it after the new year." Ye Shaojun came at the table, and Duan Jintang found out after entering the living room, and was stunned for a while: "What are you doing here?"

Seeing that he was there, Ye Shaojun didn't answer him. He was wearing a black woolen coat today, with a layer of snow on it, and a layer on his hair. Slippers, the servants have all gone home for the New Year, and no one helped him with his clothes. Ye Shaojun took off his clothes and hung them up. After finishing this series of actions, Duan Jintang looked at him with a frown. Already at home?Can't you speak a word when you come to their house?

After Ye Shaojun finished all this, he sat across from him and finally called him: "Uncle, I'm here." Duan Jintang raised his chin arrogantly: "What are you doing here?" Is my nephew unhappy?Do you have to show him such a look when you are guarding his mother?Ye Shaojun sighed: "My mother asked me to pick you up to celebrate the New Year."

Duan Jintang was amused when he heard his words: "This is my home." Ye Shaojun felt a little helpless: "Uncle, you have been at my home for the past few years." In the past few years, they had to go home with him for the New Year. He was also a little tired from the conflicts, so he left in a fit of anger that day, and didn't even go for his birthday. His mother came home and said that he would not come for the New Year, and asked him if he had a quarrel with him. Ye Shaojun really couldn't explain it.

How to explain the relationship between the two of them? He really can't afford to be ashamed to say that other people are struck by lightning, but he really doesn't know what to do with this uncle, and he is not his little lover raised outside. He will be very obedient if he refuses to make trouble. This is his uncle. He also has a family relationship with him. The family relationship is still very strong. He can't let him go after a few days of anger. It is very important to pick him up today. wishes.

Duan Jintang didn't say anything after listening to his words. He didn't feel anything when he went to his house to celebrate the New Year before. Hearing what he said today, he felt that he was really an idiot. Damn it, he rushed to other people's house During the Chinese New Year, I obviously have a home.Duan Jintang felt as if he was a head short in front of him now, he really didn't want to look at him anymore, so he stood up and went to the kitchen to look: "Isn't it done yet?"

The old housekeeper helped to bring it out together: "Okay, this is good. I see that the young master nephew is here, so I ordered the kitchen to make more." Duan Jintang sat down at the table silently, and started eating without saying a word. It's Chinese New Year, this food is easy to cook, Duan Jintang's food is exquisite, his cook paid a lot of money, and everything he cooks is exquisite, Ye Shaojun saw him eating everything, slowly, and finally couldn't help asking He said: "Uncle, come with me after dinner."

Duan Jintang put down his chopsticks: "Shao Jun, I won't be going this year. You can go back after you have eaten. I heard that your second uncle's house is busy, so you can go back and help earlier." Ye Shaojun coughed when he heard what he said, and knew it was His mother made up a reason for him.

Ye Shaojun coughed in embarrassment: "Uncle, I don't worry about you being alone at home, it's deserted." Duan Jintang wanted to get angry, he felt that his nephew couldn't hear him when he was talking, and when he got angry, he ran away with the rabbit. Just as fast, Duan Jintang sneered: "Ye Shaojun, our nephew and uncle who celebrate the Chinese New Year have a bad fight. You know I have a bad temper, so you leave after dinner."

Ye Shaojun looked at him, Duan Jintang's eyes were dark, and his lips parted lightly: "You know I don't like what I say." Ye Shaojun lowered his head: "You really don't want to go back with me?" Duan Jintang drank a spoonful of soup, yes said.Ye Shaojun sat silently for a while, then stood up and walked away, coming and going like shadows, Duan Jintang sat on the table and pouted, uneducated.

The old housekeeper looked at him and sighed, but Duan Jintang didn't raise his head: "Don't moan and sigh during the Chinese New Year." Now the old housekeeper also avoided it.

Duan Jintang sat alone in the big living room for a while, and finally felt that the Duan family was too big, so he got up and went to the bedroom. His bedroom was not small, but there were a lot of things here, except for the books in the study, There is also a row of bookshelves here, covering the entire wall. On top of the books are some exquisite jade and porcelain. He puts all the valuable things that people gave him in his bedroom. The ones in the living room are not as good as here. One more.

There is a safe in the dark compartment of the bookshelf. Duan Jintang closed the door and took the box out to look. It was all left to him by his father, including gold, silver, jewelry, land deeds, etc. Duan Jintang looked at it again and again. I don't want to marry a wife. After marrying a wife, I should probably share these things with her, or should I just lock them up and never see the light of day?Duan Jintang closed the box again and locked it.

He packed up and went to take a shower, and sat on the bed cleanly. This time, there were no porn books and no jade. Duan Jintang touched himself with his hands, and the slightly cold set slowly warmed up. In the end, he closed his eyes and snorted softly, his body sank, and he slept well after being tired.
