A warm sun shines in the sky of Yanyang City, and the warm sunshine shuttles to a restaurant located in the south of Yanyang City.
This restaurant is neither big nor small, and the number of guests is neither too many nor too few, so it’s just barely enough.
At this time, a man was sitting in a corner of the restaurant, looking intently at a ledger, with a frown on his face, as if he had something on his mind.
"Brother Luolin, where do you put these?"
A clear and sweet voice reached the man's ears.
After hearing the sound, the man who was looking down at the account book raised his head.
It turned out to be Sun Luolin, the second young master of Sun Mansion. He looked at the woman holding a sack of seasonal vegetables in front of him and spoke:
"Let's put it together over there."
"Eh."
The woman responded and headed over there holding the bag of seasonal vegetables.
After a while, the woman walked towards Sun Luolin.
Her face is like a silver basin, her eyes are like apricots, her lips are red without dots, and her eyebrows are green without paint.
This purple person is liked by all men.
"Brother Luolin, what's wrong with you? I look at you with a sad face today."
the woman asked.
She is a child of a poor family in Yanyang City. Her name is Cao Qingxue. Her parents are both farmers and they make a living by farming and selling sesame cakes.
Her father passed away when she was young, and she was raised by her mother. Now her mother is frail and sick and needs a lot of money for medicine. When she is desperate, she happens to meet Sun Luolin, the second young master of the Sun family.
After hearing this, Sun Luolin raised his head and looked at the woman Cao Qingxue walking in front of him with a slight smile.
In the past two years, with the help of Cao Qingxue, Sun Luolin has been able to support this medium-sized restaurant.
Luolin sighed and just said what was in his heart: "Recently, my mother has been urging me to get married. No, I am having trouble with my mother today."
"Brother Luolin, it's really time for you to get married. You are the second young master. The eldest young master and the third young master are not at home all year round. They hope that brother Luolin can get married soon so that the Sun Mansion can be lively."
Listening to Cao Qingxue's words, Sun Luolin seemed to obey.
"But I haven't seen those women before, and I'm not familiar with them, so how can I talk to them. I just want to find a woman I can spend a long time with."
Sun Luolin's tone seemed very firm.
Listening to Brother Luolin's words, Cao Qingxue was able to understand him.
"Then... Brother Luolin, does he have a woman he has been in love with for a long time?" Cao Qingxue said a little shyly.
Listening to Cao Qingxue's words, Sun Luolin felt a little shy. He hesitated for a moment and looked at Cao Qingxue:
"Yes, there is, but that person is talking to me."
Listening to Luolin's words, Cao Qingxue hesitated for a moment and was a little confused:
"Who is it?"
"Asking knowingly."
After saying that, Sun Luolin smiled, stood up hurriedly, and went to work.
Cao Qingxue froze in place for a long time, recalling what Luolin said, and then she finally understood.
His face suddenly became shy and he hurriedly went to do other things.
…
"Left Prime Minister."
After a call, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurriedly walked towards Su Yunqi, the Prime Minister of the Left, with a smile on his face.
After hearing what his in-laws said, Prime Minister Zuo Yunqi hurriedly raised his busy head and looked at Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, who was hurriedly walking over with a smile on his face.
"Cen Shangshu, hey, you're here." Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, stood up hurriedly: "What can I do?"
Looking at the smile on Su Yunqi's face, Prime Minister Zuo, the smile on Cen Wenxing's face, the Minister of Household Affairs, became even brighter.
"Prime Minister Zuo, I have some good news to tell Prime Minister Zuo."
Su Yunqi, the prime minister of the left, was all smiles: "What's the matter?"
"The decree I made years ago has brought in a total of sixty million taels of silver."
Listening to the words of Cen Wenxing, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Prime Minister Zuo smiled and looked at Prime Minister Right with smiling eyes: "It seems that this trick is really good, hahaha. In just a few days, I have received so many Silver taels."
Seeing the happy look of Su Yunqi, the left prime minister, Yang Youchang, the right prime minister on the side, was also happy for his benefactor.
At night, the sky above Yanyang City was pitch black. After the beginning of spring, Yanyang City still had a bit of a cold atmosphere.
A bright moon hung in the sky, spreading its moonlight to the earth.
At this moment, in the Sun Mansion, the family was sitting together and discussing.
"Luolin, your eldest brother is now an official, and your third brother has been alone in the world for many years without a letter. As the second young master of the Sun family, you are not young, and it is time to get married."
Master Sun Zhicai's words made Sun Luolin, who was alone, feel that there was some truth in them.
Indeed, now the eldest young master Sun Junze has been serving as a local official and has not returned home for many years. There is no news about the third young master Sun Chunxu. The second daughter Sun Yijin has already married. The master Sun Zhicai is busy all day long. There are only two wives left at home to chat. .
"Dad, I already have a candidate in mind." Second Young Master Sun Luolin said with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, the two ladies looked at their second son Sun Luolin in front of them with smiles on their faces as excitedly as their master Sun Zhicai.
"Who is it? A woman from an official family?" Master Sun Zhicai was very excited.
After listening to his father's words, Sun Luolin suddenly lowered his head: "Father, mother, little mother, she is not a woman from an official family."
"Not a woman from an official family?" Master Sun Zhicai asked.
Luolin nodded.
"Whose rich family is she?" Master Sun Zhicai asked again with hope.
Sun Luolin shook his head again.
Looking at his second son's appearance, the master no longer had any hope and continued to eat the meal with an expressionless face.
The lady He who was standing aside looked at the master's face, thinking about the hard work of the past few days, and suddenly persuaded the master.
"Master, it's not easy for Luolin to find a woman now, so why not just accept the matter. In this world, what people want is not to live the stable life they want, so why bother to embarrass their children."
Listening to the first lady's words, the second lady Ma on the side said together: "Yes, sir."
Listening to what the two of them said, Mr. Sun Zhicai was immediately speechless.
Master Sun Zhicai knew very well that although his eldest son was now a county magistrate and could take revenge and save the Sun family in the future, the current situation in the court was difficult to imagine, and it was difficult for Junze to save the Sun family.
The third son, Sun Chunxu, is now away from home, raising the eldest daughter's child incognito and the son of the prince who died unjustly. If he wants revenge, he can only wait until the world is in chaos. They have the ability to rebel.
Just because he knew the reckless character of his third son, Sun Chunxu, the master Sun Zhicai had just used him to train him.
The second daughter, Sun Yijin, originally thought that by marrying her to the Liu family, she would be able to get help from Bachelor Liu, which would increase her official position and gain trust. But after so many years, Liu Xueshi not only did not rise in his official position, but his help to Sun Zhicai was also insignificant.
Now, the old man Sun Zhicai originally wanted to use his second son Luolin to gain the trust of some high-ranking official to improve his official position.
Seeing his father still hesitating, Sun Luolin suddenly became bold.
"Dad, I know that you have always wanted to return to the imperial court as a high official, but the current situation in the imperial court cannot be achieved in a short time. Although Qingxue is the daughter of a poor family, if you marry her, we will run a restaurant together in the future and make a lot of money. , whenever dad needs it, my son will definitely help."
Listening to the words of his second son Luolin, the master Sun Zhicai sighed and had no choice but to agree:
"Okay. Since you are interested in her, my father can't bear to beat the couple. In this case, my father agreed."
"Really?" Luolin seemed a little unbelievable.
Seeing the happy look of his second son Luolin, the master Sun Zhicai smiled slightly and then spoke:
"Really. I keep my word as a father. This house has been deserted for several years. It's time for it to get lively."
"Yeah. Thank you dad." The second son, Sun Luolin, said happily.
Seeing that the master agreed to the marriage of his second son Luolin, the first lady and the second lady beside him laughed happily together.
"Then...Master, do you think, which date is suitable for this date?" Madam He asked with a smile.
Master Sun Zhicai smiled slightly: "It will be the twenty-sixth of this month. This day is auspicious."
Hearing the date, the lady on the side asked: "Master, is this a little early?"
"Yes, Dad. Besides, I haven't agreed yet." Second Young Master Sun Luolin said.
Listening to what the two said, Master Sun Zhicai smiled slightly: "Don't worry, as long as she is willing, I believe she will naturally agree to the wedding."
"Dad, how can you be so sure about this?" Luolin, the second son, muttered to himself.
Master Sun Zhicai smiled, looked at the three people in front of him, and said, "Eat the food, eat the food."
After talking, several people picked up their chopsticks and picked up the food.
The next day, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining warmly.
If there is no wind blowing slowly, standing under the warm sun, my whole body will be warm.
"Brother Luolin, why are you so happy today?"
The familiar and pleasant voice came from the restaurant.
"Shopkeeper!"
There was a call, and Luolin hurried towards the guest before he could answer urgently.
After a long time, Sun Luolin greeted the guests over there and walked towards Cao Qingxue.
"Why do you think I'm so happy today?" Second Young Master Sun Luolin said with a smile.
Cao Qingxue smiled and shook her head, expressing her ignorance.
Seeing Qingxue's ignorant look, Luolin smiled slightly and said, "My father agreed to my marriage."
"Really?" For some reason, Cao Qingxue also became happy without knowing it.
Seeing Cao Qingxue's silly look, Luolin smiled and asked, "I'm already married to another girl, are you still happy?"
"Gao...I'm happy. You are the shopkeeper and I'm just a busboy in this restaurant, so I'm naturally happy."
Although she was happy on the surface, Cao Qingxue was still unwilling in her heart.
"Then what if the real wife that this bright matchmaker is marrying is you?" Second Young Master Luolin looked at Cao Qingxue with a smile.
After hearing this, Cao Qingxue was in disbelief and said with a smile: "How is that possible? You are the second young master of the Sun family, and I am just a poor boy from a poor family. Second young master, please stop joking."
"What I said is true. My father agreed." Luolin said with some disappointment.
"If that's true, I'll consider it."
After talking, Qingxue found a reason to do something.
