Need for money

As soon as Tang Yuxiang walked into the inner room, she sat down on the bed. If she was just surprised and a little unbelievable before, then when she really realized that her cheap husband was going to take another wife and concubine, her heart would be full. Inexplicably flustered, as if she couldn't breathe, she turned around and saw two little maids following closely behind, frowning, and wanted to wave them back, so that she could be alone.

Zhiqiu saw that the master's face was a little pale, thinking that the master was hit by Lin Zhou's incident, he took two steps forward and asked with concern: "Second Grandma, are you alright?"

Zhidong took two steps forward, touched his master's forehead, and saw that there was no fever, so he was a little relieved.

Feeling the two little maids' genuine concern for her, Tang Yuxiang was afraid that they would be too worried, so she replied: "It's okay, I'm fine, but I feel a little stuffy in my chest, and I'll be fine in a while."

"Second mistress, the old matriarch suddenly asked the second master to marry Grandma Fang as a common wife. You will feel uncomfortable when you find out about this. The servants and maids can understand, but you must not marry me because of this matter. , and have trouble with the second master." Zhiqiu knows that the master is very willful, and if he gets stubborn, he will take his anger on the second master, but now there is another flat wife whose status is equal to the master's status in the backyard. You can no longer make trouble for no reason like before.

Otherwise, the second master will dislike him, and the second master's backyard may be replaced by a hostess.

So what if the second mistress is the main wife, once the second master, who is the head of the family, doesn't love you anymore, you will be nothing, and the three of them, master and servant, will be like when they first entered the mansion, even the servants dare to look down on them.

Zhidong's thoughts were basically the same as Zhiqiu's, and he nodded approvingly.

Speaking of Lin Jingzhi, Tang Yuxiang's heart suddenly burst into flames. No wonder this cheap man left so hastily after dinner last night, and when he came back, he took off his clothes and pretended to sleep without waiting for her to enter the door. It turned out that he had a guilty conscience Ah, he already knew that Mrs. Lin was going to marry Mrs. Lin Zhou as his wife, "Hmph, it's none of my business who he marries, I won't deliberately quarrel with him."

Seeing that the master pouted Lao Gao, he was obviously really angry, Zhiqiu became anxious for a while, "Second grandma, just listen to the persuasion from the servant girl, now it is not the same as before, when Grandma Fang enters the door, there will be more people in the backyard." A flat wife with the same status as you, that is the flat wife of the second master. The children are the same as the children you gave birth to, they are direct descendants, so you really can't be as self-willed as before, otherwise even if the second master still I pamper you, but if Second Master thinks you have a bad temper and often sleeps in Grandma Fang's yard, then if Grandma Fang becomes pregnant with Second Master's child first, it will be very bad."

After Zhiqiu finished speaking, he stomped his little feet again and again, really anxious.

Whoever loves lives who lives!

Although Tang Yuxiang knew that Zhiqiu was thinking for her, but she wanted to escape from the Lin residence, and she didn't want to be the second grandma of the Lin family, so she just replied angrily in her heart.

Seeing that the master didn't speak, Zhidong looked disapproving, and her two pale eyebrows were tightly knit into a ball. The master is a very assertive person, once he decides on something, even eight cows can't pull it off. Come back, what should I do?

The current situation in the mansion is really different than before!

Mothers are more expensive than children, this is a common rule in all wealthy mansions, if a boy and a half girl can be born earlier, the mother's position in the mansion will be more stable, especially the second grandmother, she is the main wife, if she can give birth to a son Eldest son, when the old matriarch is gone in the Lin family, this backyard will definitely be her world.

But although Zhizhidong understood it, he couldn't let the master listen to it.

Seeing that the two little maids still wanted to persuade herself, Tang Yuxiang felt bored for a while, so she quickly changed the subject and said to Zhidong: "Go out of the house tomorrow and go to our small pharmacy. By the way, ask Zheng Old man, see what is still missing in the pharmacy, then write it down on paper, and calculate how much money it will cost, and when everything is ready, our pharmacy will be able to reopen."

At this time, Zhidong didn't have the heart to think about the pharmacy, but she could only nod helplessly after the master gave her orders, then she seemed to think of something, and asked, "Second Grandma, if the pharmacy reopens, what should I do?" What kind of name should I choose? At that time, a large plaque will be made, and then a few gold-plated characters will be inlaid on it, and it will be hung above the door."

When Tang Yuxiang heard that a name was to be chosen, she first patted her forehead, secretly blaming herself for being too careless, for forgetting such a big matter, and then she immediately became interested, and asked happily: "Zhidong?" Ah, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have really forgotten about it, but you two should also think about it, what name should I choose?"

"Or call it Lin's Pharmacy." Zhiqiu suggested.

Tang Yuxiang rolled her eyes after hearing this, and shook her head directly to reject it. She didn't want her pharmacy to have anything to do with the Lin family. In Los Angeles, as long as the Lin family doesn't fall for a day, the word "Lin" cannot be used by just anyone.

Seeing that his master disagreed, Zhidong said, "Why don't you call it Tang's Pharmacy?"

"It's not good either!" Tang Yuxiang shook her head again. These two little girls were named either by their husband's family name or their own. To finish, she frowned and thought for a long time before her eyes brightened, she clapped her hands and said, "Jishengtang, just call it Jishengtang."

In the Zheng residence, since Zheng Xuemei came to the restaurant, the atmosphere has obviously cooled down. Lin Jingzhi just tried his best to put out a hypocritical smile, stopped provoking the topic, and casually exchanged greetings with others.

Among them, Zheng Jianqiu was the most active. In front of her sister, she often praised Lin Jingzhi. However, Zheng Xuemei had never had contact with Lin Jingzhi before, and she was very dissatisfied with his talent. So after hearing these words of praise, she felt that A little exaggerated, vain, but also provoked to compete with it.

But every time she opened her mouth to test, Lin Jingzhi refused to answer her fault, which made her feel depressed, and at the same time, she also doubted whether Lin Jingzhi's talent was exaggerated by rumors.

When the moon was gradually rising and the time was getting late, Lin Jingzhi stood up and said goodbye. Zheng Sheng specially took time out to accompany him today for the sake of the eldest son. He still had a lot of business to do, so he didn't ask him to stay. He just asked him to be careful when walking. .

Zheng Jianqiu was not willing to let Lin Jingzhi go just like that, after thinking about it, he asked him to come to Zheng's mansion again, and the time was set at noon tomorrow.

Lin Jingzhi originally planned to rush back to Los Angeles the next day after his visit to Zheng's Mansion. He really had something urgent to do, because the locust plague was about to explode, so he had to make an appointment with Zhang Jia to go to the wasteland for inspection in advance. Fan, arrange the preparatory work for opening up wasteland and digging canals.

Also, in his opinion, there are still some unsatisfactory places in those drawings, which must be revised in advance.

He secretly calculated that if he rode on his way home, he would be able to reach Luo City before dark, so he nodded and agreed, and entered Zheng's residence one more time, so that Tian Ji could see the friendship between the Lin family and the Zheng family , How good is it?

The more scruples in Tian Ji's heart, the better the Lin family will implement their plan step by step.

Zheng Sheng and Zheng Xuemei just sent him out of the restaurant and stopped, but Zheng Jianqiu insisted on sending him out of the house. Lin Jingzhi really couldn't figure out why Zheng Jianqiu was so polite to him, but he naturally didn't The reason to force people to go back.

The two walked and chatted on the corridor path, until they were approaching the gate of Zheng's mansion, they suddenly saw a soldier dressed as a sergeant rushing into the gate of Zheng's mansion. After holding a black folder, his face changed slightly, and he forcibly endured it again.

The sergeant recognized Zheng Jianqiu, so he quickly knelt down on one knee, gasped and said, "Young one has seen the eldest son."

"Get up." Zheng Jianqiu saw the anxious face of the sergeant in front of him, as if he had something important to report to his father, gave him a little help, and said: "My father should be in the study at this time, if there is anything, you can go directly The study will be done."

Seeing that there was a young son next to Zheng Jianqiu, the sergeant secretly covered the folds on his hands. Hearing Zheng Jianqiu's order, he hurriedly responded and ran to Zheng's study.

After the sergeant broke into Zheng's mansion, Lin Jingzhi saw the black booklet sharp-eyed. He had heard before that the black booklet was specially used to pass orders in the army, and the sergeant had a panicked expression on his face. , it can only be said that something big happened.

Just what happened?

Lin Jingzhi thought for a while, and thought of the locust plague in the north. The news in the army came from the imperial court. It is normal to notify the officials of various places a few days in advance. Thinking about this, he secretly clenched his fists. It seemed that he had to Quicken the pace of action.

Ever since he saw the sergeant, Zheng Jianqiu no longer wanted to be polite to Lin Jingzhi, he sent Lin Jingzhi out of the gate, and went straight to the study in a panic.

When he came to the study, the sergeant had already retreated, leaving only his father sitting at the desk, frowning in thought.

Zheng Sheng has always been very assertive. If he hadn't encountered a difficult or important event, he would not have such an expression. Zheng Jianqiu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and secretly had a bad premonition.

"Father, what happened in the army?"

Zheng Sheng didn't blame his son for breaking into the study without knocking on the door. He has been cultivating the eldest son with all his heart. As for the other sons, although he also likes them very much, he knows that their mother has long since found someone to teach them behind him. , it is relatively loose.

Hearing the question, he shook his head lightly, and replied: "It's not that something big happened in the army, but that something big happened in the four northern continents!"

"Oh?" Sensing his father's voice was obviously a bit heavy, Zheng Jianqiu straightened his face, and asked again: "Father, what big event is going to happen on the four northern continents?"

Zheng Sheng didn't reply, but just handed over the black folder in his hand. It stands to reason that most of the folders in the army are classified information, and Zheng Jianqiu is not allowed to look at them casually, but this is at home, so there are no such taboos.

Reaching out to take it, Zheng Jianqiu hastily opened it, and after reading a few lines, he suddenly gasped and his face changed drastically!
