Jiapingguan Chronicle

Shen Zhonghe looked at Liang Jieque and nodded slightly.

"What do you want to say?" Liang Jieque glanced at him, "Whatever you want to say, just say it boldly. There's no need to hide it."

"What I want to say is that this is very similar to what my mother would say, and the tone at the time was definitely not very good. I can picture that scene. She must have been impatient with your noise, so she stood up. You came out to speak, right?"

"Yeah, we probably argued for many days and didn't come to a conclusion, so my sister-in-law came forward. Although she usually doesn't take care of things, she is well aware of everything that happens at home. If anyone wants to ask her about it, She can also give a very pertinent suggestion." Liang Jieque sighed softly, "My sister-in-law is the calmest in the family and the least susceptible to emotions, but that time, she may have really collapsed. "

"I think so too." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "Although my memory from childhood is not that deep, I still vaguely remember that the atmosphere at home was not very good and very depressing. The servants and girls at home were all trembling with fear and could not even walk. I was afraid of offending someone. My grandfather, father, brother-in-law and Aunt Liang were also in a bad mood and would get angry over trivial things. Usually they were not like that at all, so I always liked to hide in a corner and steal. Look at them, they don’t dare to go up to the house to uncover tiles and run around like they usually do.”

"Is it because we have to make a very important decision, but everyone is unsure?"

"The general is right." Liang Jieque nodded towards Shen Cha, "After receiving the letter, we discussed whether we should just end it with them this time. We also know that it is not that easy to end it. , so everyone is very entangled and in pain. If we go to the appointment normally, we will not have any disputes, just go and have a normal meeting. But to get rid of this nightmare and shackles, we must If you want to fight with the other party, if you really don't speculate and start a fight, you will be risking your life. Therefore, the adoptive father and the two brothers hope to take this risk to ensure the safety of the family. "

"Indeed, if you want to end it, you will have to pay a big price. Those people are not good people." Jin Jing touched her chin, "However, Mr. Shen would not accept such a proposal from Mr. Shen's mother. promise?"

"I agree, I have to agree, because the reasons given by my sister-in-law are very good."

"What's the reason?" Jin Jing looked at Liang Jieque curiously, "She can actually convince you. We've been arguing for many days. There must be knots that you can't get around, but what reason did she use to convince you? "

"Let us have no discernable reason." Liang Jieque stretched out a finger, "First of all, she said that I must go, because I am the only one left in the Liang family. If I don't go, I may not be able to go. To achieve the purpose of getting rid of the shackles, the other party may use it as a shirk because I was not present. We think the sister-in-law is right. No one knows how we made the agreement with Hu Shang in the first place, and whether both parties want to tear up the contract. People from both families must be present at the time. The notes left by the ancestors of the family did not explain this, and I probably didn’t think at the time that we might want to get rid of this shackles."

"This..." Shen Zhonghe nodded, "That's true. If the other party takes this as a condition, the purpose of this trip will be in vain."

"So, we all agreed with her point of view, I have to go." Liang Jieque stretched out a second finger, "She gave a second reason, and we had no way to argue. Since there are two The head of the family must be present, and the adoptive father will definitely go there. Once the adoptive father goes, the eldest brother and the second brother will not be at home waiting for news. They will definitely be worried about the safety of the old father and have to follow the old father." "Yes. "The old man is not young. If something happens to him, these two sons, let alone both of them, will regret it for the rest of their lives if one of them doesn't follow." Jin Jing nodded, "Both of them will regret it for the rest of their lives." It is said that the snake will be beaten seven inches, but this lady’s reason is to hit you seven inches, and you have no second choice at all.”

"Yes, but it's not too late. There is a third reason." Liang Jieque stretched out a third finger, "That is the relationship between me and my second brother. My second brother will definitely not let me go alone. , I will definitely go with him, but if the eldest brother doesn’t go, it will be very difficult for the second brother to protect me and my adoptive father alone. Although the family will also hire guards, we don’t know the situation of the other party. If there are many people on the other side, we will If we can't beat him, what should we do?" She spread her hands and said, "So, no matter how we go around and how we plan, the four of us will still have to go together in the end. Since this result is destined to be this result no matter how we calculate, there is no need to continue arguing. Now, let’s go together, four of us!”

"What mother said..." Shen Zhonghe sighed softly, "It's very reasonable. No wonder she initially advised you not to go to sea with her, but you didn't agree. Then she started preparing bags for you. I was still thinking about changing my attitude. Why did it happen so quickly? It turned out to be like this."

"Yes." Liang Jieque nodded, "We all think my sister-in-law is right. After all, the four of us will go together, so there is no need to argue. As long as we go safely and come back safely, it will be fine." She smiled bitterly and said, "That's what I thought at the time, but who knew it would end like that?" She picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, calmed down, and continued, "We have already made a decision. , we started to prepare for the trip, arranging the ships to go out to sea, the accompanying escorts, and also need to prepare a large amount of sea goods. After all, we not only want to meet them, but also do business. It is absolutely impossible not to have items that can be bought and sold. In addition to these necessary preparations, we also have two boxes of gold hidden on the main ship."

"Gold?" Shen Zhonghe was stunned, "We still have this at home? How come I didn't know about it?"

"What do you know!" Liang Jieque rolled her eyes, "You know that you have to run away every day and think about becoming a general and a hero every day. You don't care at all about family matters."

"I..." Shen Zhonghe was speechless by Liang Jieque, "I'm not interested in this!"

"If we're not interested, then why should we tell you?"

"But this is gold, two boxes of gold!" Shen Zhonghe touched his chin and said, "According to my understanding of our family, even if we sell everything, we can't get these two boxes of gold, right?"

"That's natural." Liang Jieque chuckled, "These two boxes of gold are indeed not our own. They should be returned to their original owners."
