thirty-five:
Only to hear the curtain of the inner room ring, out of which came a woman of about forty or fifty years old, followed by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Needless to say, this high-quality person worked hard for his livelihood in his early years and was a typical family of late marriage and late childbearing. The lady's expression was very haggard, and the whole person seemed to be suppressed by a huge stone, crumbling.
The young lady who followed the lady was of great stature, her face was like a peach blossom, and a pair of large clear eyes flashed and flashed, as if she could talk.
When Xiao Qi, the three of them saw Madame come out, they all got up and saluted, and Madame and Miss each returned the salute. The little lady played the seat next to the tall good man for the lady, and the young lady sat down with her mother.
Seeing that there was a little girl among the three guests, Miss Gao suddenly had a kind smile on her face and nodded to Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qiqi obediently cried out, "Sister Gao is good." ”
Gao Shanren continued what he had just said, doing business in the mall, competition can not be avoided. As the saying goes, shopping malls are like battlefields, battlefields without smoke. When we were promoting the business of the firm, we encountered a strong competitor who was arbitrarily fighting a price war with us.
People who do business know that this price war will be fought in the end, and it must be a lose-lose situation. In order to avoid too much loss, I decided to make peace with the other party, each took a step back, and everyone got rich together. Unexpectedly, the other party was very strong, relying on relatives in the imperial court, and had to put us to death.
My uncle and I are law-abiding people, and where can we fight the imperial relatives and relatives? So my uncle and I consulted several times, and finally decided to liquidate all the goods and go home. Anyway, the silver we have earned over the years has been enough to spend.
Unexpectedly, a few days ago, I suddenly received a letter from the competitor, which actually borrowed one million taels of silver from me, saying that his relatives in the imperial court were in urgent need of use. If I can make up the number in a few days, his relatives will send a team of officers and soldiers to fetch it.
Zhao Changrong said angrily, "Isn't this Ming Qiang?" ”
Gao Shanren said, "Yes, tomorrow is the deadline for them to take a million taels of silver." Little old man, I didn't pay much attention to the things outside of gold and silver, and my wife and I were most worried about our precious daughter, who was the only child of ours. If the gang of bandits came, and I was a man of my age, it would be difficult to guarantee that I would be able to protect my poor child. ”
At this point, Xiao Qi, Xiao Youkang, and Zhao Changrong finally understood the good intentions of gao shanren. The reason why he warmly entertained these young people, and specially let his wife and daughter show their faces, in addition to his charitable side, there was also the intention of using these young people to protect his daughter.
When Gao Shanren saw Zhao Changrong's heroic posture and Xiao Youkang's steadiness, he knew that these two young people were not ordinary ordinary people. As for Xiao Qi, Gao Shanren just thought she was a child.
At this time, Xiao Qi's brain turned quickly, and she suddenly thought that she needed to ask who this robbery imperial relative was, so she opened her mouth and said to Gao Shanren: "Old man, can you tell us what the name of that competitor's imperial relative is?" ”
Gao Shanren thought for a moment and replied, "My business rival's surname is Huang, huang Goushi, and he once said that the relative in his court, surnamed Wang, is the brother-in-law of his third uncle, and seems to be a high official in charge of the three armies." ”
Listening to Gao Shanren say this, Xiao Qi and Xiao Youkang nodded silently, probably knowing who this person was.
Zhao Changrong is a bold artist, and he directly promised Gao Shanren: "Old man, you can rest assured, as long as we are here, tomorrow we will definitely protect your whole family." ”
Madame Gao listened to Zhao Changrong speak so proudly, the sadness on her face dissipated a lot, and her eyes looked up and down at the young man. Only to see that he was tall and tall, with a thin waist and back, a Chinese character face, a pair of thick black sword eyebrows, a nose like a hanging gall, white teeth and red lips, a heroic teenager.
Madame Gao's eyes were obviously revealing a look of love, and she and Gao Shanren looked at each other for a moment, slightly calmed their mood, and asked Zhao Changrong: "Where does this young man live?" What do you do to make a living? How old are you? Have you ever been married? ”
Since ancient times, the questions raised by the mother-in-law are the same. Lady Gao's question made Zhao Changrong make a big red face. Only then did he remember that he wanted to peek at the young lady next to Madame Gao. Yikes! It's really good-looking, like a celestial sister. So he immediately jumped around like a small rabbit in his arms.
And Miss Gao, who was next to Lady Gao, was also secretly aiming at Zhao Changrong with her eyes crimson face. These four eyes were facing each other, and both of them had an electric shock feeling.
Zhao Changrong stood up, gave a deep salute to Lady Gao, and replied: "Returning to Madame's words, Xiaosheng's surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Changrong, his family lives in Shiwan Village, Hangzhou, his father opened a martial arts hall, I have followed my father to learn martial arts since I was a child, and I am twenty years old this year, and I am not yet married." ”
Mrs. Gao nodded after listening, meaning very satisfied. The high-ranking person on the side just smiled with his beard and didn't say anything.
The mischievous Little Seven saw the development of the matter and said to Miss Gao: "Sister Gao, you are really beautiful, I like you, my parent Rong Brother also likes you, do you like him?" ”
Miss Gao, who was already blushing, heard Xiao Qi's opening to ask such a direct topic, and the red halo on her face instantly spread to her neck, and she shyly replied to Xiao Qi: "I also like you, little sister." ”
Xiao Qiyi listened, Miss Gao was shy, embarrassed to guard so many people directly said that they liked Big Brother Zhao, so on behalf of Zhao Changrong, he proudly promised Miss Gao: "Sister Gao, tomorrow we will solve your family's problems together, and we will let Brother Evergreen prepare a generous dowry to marry my sister." ”
Zhao Changrong was already happy and stupid at this moment, Xiao Qi's everything he said nodded in agreement, for a moment he forgot that his family could not come up with a dowry that was richer than the Gao family no matter what.
At this time, Gao Shanren spoke: "The dowry, it doesn't matter how much, it's just a meaning." As long as Evergreen you can guarantee that you will be good to my daughter for a lifetime, my wife and I's family property will not be your little couple in the end. ”
My God, it seems, this good man is anxious enough! It seemed to be more anxious than the two young men and women who had just been impressed.
Perhaps, this is an old father, in a moment of crisis, a sincere trust to his beloved daughter. It's touching and it's sad.
At this moment, Zhao Changrong was moved to tears by Gao Shanren's words, he fell to his knees on his knees, and prostrated his head three times towards Gao Shan and Lady Gao, and after getting up, he gave Miss Gao a deep salute, and his excited voice trembled a little: "Please rest assured second elder, I will be good to Miss Gao, the kind that will be good for a lifetime." ”
