Old things in Nancheng

Facing Lin Zhilan's questioning gaze, Wang Zimo did not choose to argue, but dealt with it calmly, and stretched out his hand to Lin Zhilan.

Lin Zhilan glanced carefully at Wang Zimo, then at everyone in the study, showing a wry smile, put her hand into Wang Zimo's, turned to Wang En and said, "Xing En, you have disappointed me so much."

Wang Zimo clenched his slippery little hands, and a faint smile appeared on his always calm face.

Wang En's accusation, Wang Zimo didn't take it seriously, the level difference between the two was too far, no matter how much Wang En jumped around, it would not threaten him.Wang Zimo didn't rush to defend, that would be a disadvantage. She trusted Lin Zhilan, and believed that Lin Zhilan would trust herself.

Lu Yao's horsepower has seen people's hearts for a long time, and the two of them have come over in strong winds and waves, which cannot be influenced by Qu Qu Wangen.

Lin Zhilan was skeptical before. In her previous life, she read reasoning, and her dialectical thinking was habitual. When encountering problems, she often subconsciously looked at problems from both sides.But Lin Zhilan didn't believe Wang En's accusation, either intellectually or emotionally.

The conditions in Wangjiazhuang were so difficult back then, and Wang Zimo did everything he could to keep Lin Zhilan from being wronged materially. She was in prison, but sent a huge amount of property home. Now all the property of the two of them is under Lin Zhilan's name.Lin Zhilan knew that Wang Zimo didn't value money by nature, even if he valued it now, why would he need to fight with him, since he had already said that he didn't want to care about outside affairs.

The couples in the Song Dynasty are not the couples of later generations. They can leave if they want, and they can separate if they want.Here, the husband and wife are a community, the family is a community, honor and disgrace are shared, crimes must be punished together, everyone is good is really good, Wang Zimo will be so stupid as to compete with Lin Zhilan for family property, and he will not be able to do such stupid things when his mind is trapped by the door .

Wang En, on the other hand, was stunned, and couldn't believe that Lin Zhilan didn't believe in herself.He thought that his relationship with Lin Zhilan was much closer than that of Wang Zimo. For the past year, he had been with Lin Zhilan!

"Auntie, why don't you believe me, Auntie, don't be fooled by her!" Wang En burst into tears, partly pretending but also partly sad, anyway at this moment he couldn't hold on anymore, he was extremely wronged.

Lin Zhilan was extremely disappointed, and couldn't believe that Wang En had become like this now. Looking at Wang Zimo again, Lin Zhilan felt how lucky she was. Maybe Wang Zimo had changed, but the essence hidden deep in Wang Zimo was just like her. The familiar and tolerant eyes are normal and have never changed.

"Thank you, let's turn around as soon as possible. Your uncle told you about this in the study today because he loves you so much. Don't be willful any longer." Lin Zhilan emphasized her tone and persuaded her again.

"I don't accept it! I refuse to accept it to the death! What is she!" What Wang En couldn't stand the most was Lin Zhilan's bias towards Wang Zimo.

"Dogs can't spit out ivory." Wang Fulai slapped Wang En, making Wang En stumble.

"My lord, the evidence is convincing. This guy is unwilling to repent, so I can't let you off lightly." Zhang Bucai looked down on Wang En's posturing.

"Second Young Master, you must punish him severely. Otherwise, if the people below know about it, they will think that there is no one in the Wang family, and the family law is orderly!" Wang Fulai agreed.

Wang Zimo let go of Lin Zhilan's hand, stood up and walked to Wang En, looking directly at the person who wanted to challenge him.Although Wang En was embarrassed, in front of Wang Zimo, he must not let himself be at a disadvantage, so he stiffened his neck and looked at him.

Very boring, very naive, Wang Zimo thought in his heart, the matter is already very clear, but now, Wang Zimo always feels a little awkward when he sees Wang En, but she can't catch it, so she wants to take a good look at Wang En Find the source of that feeling, but Wang Zimo still can't find it.

"Fulai, you assist shopkeeper Zhang, and watch these two people get back the money from outside. As for the three people, the store will be removed from the store, and in the future, they will never be hired for any business of my Wang family. As for Wang En..." Wang Zimo looked back. After seeing Lin Zhilan, she sighed and said, "Let the lady deal with it."

"Master, this is inappropriate!"

"Yeah, he committed such a big mistake, how can he let it go."

Wang Zimo ignored the advice of the two, and only said: "I believe the lady will handle it well. Before I come back, the lady is in charge of this family."

With Zhang Bucai and Wang Fulai, who were very dissatisfied, and three assistants and two beggars, Wang Zimo left at ease, leaving only Lin Zhilan and Wang En in the study.

At this time, Wang En was a little depressed, and he didn't dare to look at Lin Zhilan, who was right and who was wrong, everyone had a steelyard in their hearts, and not admitting it didn't mean they were right.

"Yes, Auntie will only ask you once, the last time, did you do it?" Lin Zhilan asked Wang En, looking at Wang En.

Wang En "squeaked" for a long time, and finally nodded, he didn't want to lie to Lin Zhilan, this person really treated him well.

"You child, what can I say about you, if you want money, why don't you ask me for it, and why do you want to do such a bad thing!" Lin Zhilan hated that iron can't be made into steel, so she couldn't help but teach her a lesson.

At this time, Wang En was as good as a little chicken, not at all as ruthless as when arguing with Wang Zimo, he dawdled in front of Lin Zhilan, and said aggrievedly: "Auntie, I don't want money myself, I just want to earn more Money, so that my aunt can have more money, and there are so many people in a big family, all of them have to be taken care of by my aunt, it is not easy for my aunt."

"Although you are well-intentioned, your method is wrong." Lin Zhilan felt a lot of comfort in her heart when she heard Wang En's words, and patiently taught: "Being a human being is all about trustworthiness and filial piety. In business, integrity is so important. , No matter how much money you make, if you lose your integrity, it will be difficult to continue this business.”

"Also, she is your uncle. You contradict her like this, but you have a little bit of filial piety, and where do you put me as an aunt! You contradicted her at the dinner that night. I only thought you were young, but look at you, what did you say?" What did you say, what did you do, I will tell you today, if you let me know that you insulted uncle, don't blame me for being merciless."

"Auntie, I was wrong." Facing Lin Zhilan, Wang En was definitely a good baby, kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, with an expression of sincere repentance.

Lin Zhilan didn't want to let Wang En go just like that, he had already touched Lin Zhilan's bottom line by humiliating Wang Zimo, not to mention that Wang Zimo is now the head of the family, and his dignity cannot be compromised, even if Wang Zimo is just an ordinary person, Lin Zhilan would never allow anyone defame her.But seeing Wang En crying bitterly, Lin Zhilan relented and gave him one last chance.

"If you know you have made a mistake, you must correct it. You will definitely not be able to go to the shop. You are still young. You should study at home for a few years and learn how the sages behave. To do things, be a man first, otherwise, in the end, it will be nothing."

After being "inspired" by Lin Zhilan, Wang En confessed his mistake to Wang Zimo for serving tea, handed over the money he embezzled, and was beaten twenty times for insulting Wang Zimo, and this matter came to an end.

"You still have the ability. If I continue talking, Wang En may fight with me." Wang Zimo joked.

Hearing this, Lin Zhilan couldn't help but smiled wryly and said: "I know you were the one who was wronged about today's matter. You didn't bother with her when he scolded you like that, but I couldn't stand it. You can scold me, but you can't. I wanted to When you come back, we can live a good life, look, one play after another, Wang Zimo, do you blame me for not taking good care of the house?"

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. A big family like the Jiang family has scandals. Why do you blame yourself? Since something happened, let's solve it together. There is no obstacle that we can't get over, right?"

Wang Zimo spoke softly, but it didn't make Lin Zhilan feel better: "Bao'er can't call you 'mother' until now, what a good child he was, but he has become a house thief, and your sister is 16 years old , thinking about irrelevant things all day long, even though I am a sister-in-law, there is a layer of separation after all. Wang Zimo, I am very useless, am I not?"

"You are capable enough. If you are better, I will not be able to climb high."

"What can I do? Compared with you, what I have done is nothing."

She is also a woman, Lin Zhilan really thinks that Wang Zimo is amazing, whoever said that ancient people were stupid, people like Wang Zimo are the smartest kind, smart when they should be smart, and confused when they should be confused.Sometimes, Lin Zhilan fantasizes that if Wang Zimo travels to modern times, she is afraid that her parents will be very happy. Wang Zimo is very good at business and can control his subordinates. Mo's identity had to be accepted by his parents.

"Lan'er, don't underestimate yourself." Wang Zimo took Lin Zhilan's hand and said solemnly, "You know how important you are to me."

Lin Zhilan leaned softly on Wang Zimo's shoulder, hearing such words, let alone how sweet she felt.

"By the way, these days are too busy to take care of Yan'er. What's going on with her? Why doesn't she want to marry Brother Shu?"

Speaking of Yan'er, Lin Zhilan was full of bitterness.Relying on Wang Zimo, Lin Zhilan detailed all the details about how Yan'er came to find her during the Chinese New Year. Although she was Yan'er's sister-in-law, Yan'er was the daughter of the Shen family, not the Wang family. Lin Zhilan couldn't get in the way of Yan'er's question, so she could only let Wang Zimo have a headache.

When Lin Zhilan said it, she didn't bring her own thoughts into it, she was objective and neutral, but Wang Zimo frowned after hearing this.One is his own sister, and the other is Chen Wangshu, who is like a brother. His palms and backs are full of flesh. Wang Zimo finds this very embarrassing.

Yan'er is sixteen years old, and she should get married according to the law. The two elders of the Chen family urged her several times, but Chen Wangshu felt that she should wait, at least pay back the money owed to Lin Zhilan, and it would be best to wait until Wang Zimo came back. Just waited for the news that Yan'er wanted to retire.

"It stands to reason that it should be of the right family, but if a girl marries someone she doesn't like, her whole life will be ruined. Look at your sister-in-law, what a good person, just fell into your elder brother's hands like this. That day, to put it bluntly, is waiting to die." Lin Zhilan finally decided to help Yan'er and compare her heart with her heart, if she married someone she didn't like, she would definitely not be able to survive a day.

But Wang Zimo didn't think so. Yan'er was still very fond of this marriage when he proposed the marriage, and Chen Wangshu's dowry also expressed the sincerity of the Chen family. Why is it not suitable or not like it now.

Wang Zimo was very angry, and went straight to Yan'er's yard regardless of Lin Zhilan's persuasion.Because of Wang Zimo's return, Lin Zhilan was free to take Bao'er, so Yan'er had nothing to do now. In addition to writing and reading, she played chess and the piano during the day, and there were two maids in the room to serve her, living the life of a daughter of a thousand gold.

When Wang Zimo arrived, Yan'er was playing the piano. The tune was very simple, but full of deep sorrow.

Wang Zimo didn't make a sound, waved the little maid back, and waited until Yan'er finished playing before she walked in front of Yan'er.

"Brother, why are you here?" Yan'er was startled by Wang Zimo, stood up quickly, and poured a cup of tea for Wang Zimo with a smile.

"Sit down, let's chat." Wang Zimo pointed to the seat next to him and said.

"What do you want to tell me, brother?" Yan'er was flustered seeing Wang Zimo's serious face.

"You're sixteen, you're an adult, I want to talk to you about your marriage." Seeing Yan'er's cautious look, Wang Zimo slowed down his voice: "Brother Shu told me when I was in Xiangyang that he wanted to divorce you , he is going to join the army, do you know about this?"

Yan'er's face turned pale when she heard this, joining the army is the choice of a man in a desperate situation, she didn't expect Chen Wangshu to have such an idea.

"Brother wants to ask you, whose idea was it to break the engagement?"

Yan'er twisted her handkerchief and whispered, "It was my idea."

"Why do you have such an idea, can you tell me?" After all, it was his own sister, Wang Zimo was angry and wanted to hear Yan'er's thoughts.

But Yan'er didn't want to say it, she couldn't explain it clearly, she was still confused, she just knew that she and Chen Wangshu were not suitable.

Looking at Yan'er who was silent and lowered his head, Wang Zimo said with emotion: "Our family is not like this. You know what happened to me in Wangjiazhuang before. Everyone shouted and beat me like a mouse crossing the street. Only the Chen family, only Brother Shu, regards me as a friend and is willing to associate with me. I have had ups and downs in the past two years. When life was good, Brother Shu never asked me for anything. When I suffered, he was busy. Running around for me, Yan'er, you can't forget your roots in life."

"Brother, I know."

"Since you know, why do you want to divorce?" Wang Zimo raised his voice, looking at his extremely beautiful younger sister.

Yan'er thought and thought, and said in a low voice: "Brother, I have always regarded Brother Shu as a brother."

"Brother Shu went to propose marriage back then, why did you agree! You didn't know that mother asked for money and almost ruined the Chen family!" Wang Zimo couldn't help but questioned.

Yan'er felt ashamed, tears rolled down one by one, but she still insisted on annulling the engagement.

"You can go home tomorrow. If you still want to call off the engagement after half a year, I'll make it happen for you."

Yan'er looked at Wang Zimo in disbelief, but Wang Zimo didn't want to say anything to Yan'er at all now, she got up and left, only hearing Yan'er's cry behind her.
