Happy Marriage

Leng Nanxian gently scratched her nose, pulled her up from the bed, and took her into his arms.

The last ray of the setting sun outside the window shone in from the rhombus window, and through the white screen, it cast mottled light and shadow on the ground.

The two sat upright, snuggling together, quietly and peacefully.

"I have never told An Sheng about my family or my background in a serious manner. In fact, my surname was not Leng, but Shen, which is why the Leng family deliberately forced me out of the Leng family. "

"Not Leng?" An Sheng leaned on Leng Nanxian's shoulder and raised his face happily.

Leng Nanxian nodded: "My grandfather is the head of the Leng family, the first family in Jiangnan."

An Sheng widened his eyes in surprise: "The head of the first family? Isn't he rich enough to rival the country?"

Leng Nanxian lightly pecked her slightly parted lips in a playful manner.

"My grandfather has no children, only my mother has a daughter. When my mother was young, she rejected most of the wealthy talents in Jiangnan, but only fell in love with my father.

At that time, my father was just a hard-working scholar, with amazing talent, full of ambition, and famous in Jiangnan.

My family was cold and wealthy, but my grandfather and grandmother were enlightened and admired my father's talent and character, so they married my mother to him. To be married is actually not much different from being married, because my father's family was impoverished and the walls were empty.

After the big wedding, for the sake of my mother, my father obeyed her wishes, temporarily put down poetry and books, and helped my grandfather to manage the Leng family's business together.

That is to say, in those few years, the business of the Leng family reached its peak, making the Leng family the first family in Jiangnan to live up to its name. Moreover, his father created the silk weaving printing and dyeing process of Liuyun Brocade, which made the Leng family's weaving famous in the south of the Yangtze River and even the whole of Chang'an. The family of the rich and powerful in Chang'an, as well as the common people's married daughters, all take pride in having the wedding dress of the Leng family brocade.

At that time, my name was Shen Nanxian. My father read a lot and had a good face. My mother and my grandfather fought hard to get this surname for me.

But the more my father got into the business, the more unhappy he became. He doesn't like doing business, he has big ambitions, and he hopes to do something in the court, so as to benefit the people of Chang'an.

Although he didn't say it, my mother also understood his thoughts and led me to gradually get involved in the management of Lengjia's business.

She was originally a businesswoman, so she was naturally handy in doing business. When she thought she could be on her own, she packed up the salute for my father to go north.

I will never forget that day in my life, my mother led me to see my father off without telling my grandparents. My father touched my head and said earnestly that he will not be by my mother's side in the future, so let me take on the burden of the cold family and take good care of my mother.

Having said so much, he put all his responsibilities as a man and the head of a family on me, who is still just a child!

I asked him: Dad, I take care of my mother, what about you?

He sighed deeply and said, "The Qi family is ruling the country and the world. Father still has a heavier burden to carry." What my father wanted to provoke was the thousands of homes in Chang'an.

He walked resolutely, I snuggled up beside my mother and watched his carriage gradually disappear from my sight. My mother held my hand which was cold, without the slightest temperature, and kept trembling. "

Leng Nanxian said this, the tip of his throat choked, and he paused.

An Sheng remained silent, only stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around his waist, hoping to give him some comfort.

"At that time, I still admired my father very much, and I felt that the rhetoric was very exciting. But later, as the days passed, my mother worked day and night, exhausted, and became increasingly haggard, and these worships died down. Depleted, replaced little by little with resentment.

Every night, when I saw my mother under the candlelight, coughing lightly, looking at the account book in her hand, her fingertips flying, and plucking the beads on the abacus, my heart felt like a needle pierced.

This should have been his responsibility as a man, but he abandoned his wife for his own selfish ideals and flew away, so that my mother had to shoulder it herself, and she had to be brave in front of my grandparents with a smile.

Finally one day, my mother was overworked, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fainted in front of me.

The doctor said that she was overdrawn and would die soon. My grandfather and grandmother regretted it too much, and they all said that my mother should not be married to him, ruining my mother's life.

I heard that he became a high-ranking official in the capital, enjoying a high salary and high power. I heard that when the new emperor ascended the throne, he assisted the new emperor, one person was less than ten thousand people. Anyway, his grandfather and grandmother went to Beijing to study books, but he didn't come back.

At that time, I gritted my teeth in hatred, burned all the letters he wrote to my mother, vowed not to recognize him as a father again, and changed my surname to Leng without authorization.

Later, my master traveled thousands of miles south from the capital to find the Leng family, extended her life for my mother for three years, and accepted me as an apprentice to learn medicine.

For three years, my father didn't even come home to look at my mother. My mother was looking forward to it every day and every night, crying alone behind my back, and even before her death, she read his name and couldn't rest her eyes.

That's why I never mentioned him before you. These hatreds are piled up little by little, unforgettable, and hard to let go of for a lifetime. Every time I see him, I can't help but think of the way my mother looked through the autumn water and looked forward to him before she died. "

Leng Nanxianrao tried his best to forbear, but the circles of his eyes were still red and moist. These unbearable past events, every time they are mentioned, are depressing and painfully suffocating.

An Sheng didn't know how to comfort him, raised his face, and placed a light lip print on his smooth chin.

Leng Nanxian smiled bitterly, then stretched out his arms to hug her tighter, and felt a little more comfort in his heart.

"Do you want to continue listening?"

An Sheng nodded: "Afterwards, did they kick you out of the Leng family? The Leng family was also lost because of your mother's death, right?"

Leng Nanxian nodded lightly and shook his head: "The death of my mother made my grandfather and grandmother feel ashes and grief-stricken for a while, and she had no intention of taking care of business.

Lengjia is a piece of fat, and everyone wants a piece of it. And the Leng family used the excuse that I was not the Leng family to drive me out of the Leng family. "

An Sheng's hand tightened, and his heart raised: "Despicable!"

Leng Nanxian smiled softly: "Master, I have followed my mother since I was a child, so how could I be afraid of those tigers and wolves? My grandfather and grandmother are old, and my mother is gone, so my father can't count on it. I naturally have to support the Leng family. The karma falls into the hands of others?

I understand that a big tree attracts the wind, and when things are extreme, things turn against each other. The Leng family is now at its peak, attracting the coveted coveted by the government, underworld, and business. Then there is the idea of ​​​​breaking into pieces.

I told my grandfather what I thought, and my grandfather looked at me with great relief, and immediately agreed with my plan, and gradually cheered up.

My grandfather pretended to adopt an heir from the children of the Leng family, which naturally attracted these greedy and malicious people to kill each other in secret, and the last uncle used despicable means to stand out.

At this time, my grandfather changed his mind and said that he would change the operation mode of the Leng family and distribute all the shops of the Leng family to the children of the Leng family, but he would have to pay a certain amount of stock every year.

The uncle naturally refused, but the others had no hope. At this time, they suddenly heard that there was a way to make money. Although it was not satisfactory, they were still ecstatic. With everyone's concerted efforts, the uncle will naturally succeed.

My grandfather and I master the unique brocade printing and dyeing process of the Leng family. One trick is fresh and eaten all over the world. No one in the world can imitate it. This is the greatest wealth of the Leng family, and it is not secret. Just relying on this, we are not afraid that they have other thoughts.

After the training and ability assessment of the children of the Leng family, we distributed the Leng family's shops around Jiangnan to them, and only charged stock money. As a result, the Leng family seems to be in disarray, and has since declined. In fact, it is just a change of business mode. Although the silver taels we earned was a little less, my grandfather didn't have to worry about labor and was exhausted like my mother.

Naturally, there are shrewd people who put their eyes on our craftsmanship. Therefore, I ordered the best embroiderer, weaver, and tailor of the Leng family to use the best silk, weave the best Liuyun brocade, embroider the most delicate patterns, and make the unparalleled neon clothes in the world, dedicated to today's people. The Empress Dowager is also willing to pay Liuyun Brocade as a tribute to the imperial harem every year.

Not for anything else, but in exchange for the unique glory and status of this weaving process. There is only one condition, Liu Yunjin can only be weaved by the Jiangnan Leng family, and no one can steal my Leng family's secret recipe for imitation. And the head of the Leng family is none other than me, Leng Nanxian. "

An Sheng blinked his eyes in disbelief: "You mean, now you are the head of the Leng family?"

Leng Nanxian nodded solemnly: "Do you think Master can afford to support you?"

An Sheng squeezed him angrily: "I'm still worried that you will lose your family business one day, take me to drink the northwest wind, and I will mend your clothes for you, Master, you are too much, have you been watching monkeys all the time? "

Leng Nanxian grabbed her hand and was extremely satisfied: "Master's silly girl, I have never cried poor in front of you. You are afraid that I can't marry you."

"Also said!" An Sheng glared at him angrily.

"Don't say it, don't say it." Leng Nanxian's eyes were full of joy: "It was Master who saw An Sheng for the first time and wanted to marry An Sheng, and he was thinking about marrying her back to the medicine house. Would that be okay?"

"At this time, I will say, what to do earlier." An Sheng snorted coldly: "All the time, he has lied to me, saying that you were kicked out by the Leng family. Are you afraid, An Sheng is the kind of greedy rich and noble, A mercenary person?"

She was annoyed here, and made old accounts again and again, Leng Nanxian hurriedly appeased her furious hair.

"If you are really greedy for money, it's easy to say, Master directly smashed you with money and made you feel dizzy. Wouldn't it be easy to carry home? Besides, it's a fact that I was kicked out by them. After the Leng family's business became formal, All business transactions are transparent, and naturally someone will take care of it. Grandpa and grandma don’t have to worry about labor like that, they can take care of their lives, just cross the river to demolish the bridge and drive me from Jiangnan to the capital.”
