The son-in-law of a prosperous family

The rich businessman put on a smile that was uglier than crying. He laughed and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and said, "Oh, Mr. Zhuangyuan, look at how ignorant I am! I was just too happy and wanted to get closer to Mr. Fang. I was confused and said the wrong thing. Please don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, he slapped his head exaggeratedly, looking extremely regretful.

Seeing this, the villagers around also tried to smooth things over.

"That's right, that's right. Everyone is happy and the matter is over."

"Yes, today is the top scholar's big day, don't spoil his fun."

Zhao Yunchuan looked at the wealthy businessman's embarrassed look, then looked at the concerned villagers around him, took a deep breath, put on a gentle smile again, and said, "In this case, let's just treat today's incident as a small episode. It's rare for us to get together, so we should still be happy."

After saying this, he raised his hand and patted the rich businessman on the shoulder to comfort him.

The rich businessman nodded hurriedly as if he had been pardoned, and sat down to eat again. In order to save the situation, the rich businessman took the initiative to toast the villagers around him one by one, and told a few witty jokes from time to time to try to liven up the atmosphere.

At the banquet, everyone continued to clink glasses and laughter rang out again.

The rich businessman was secretly shocked: it almost didn't work out, but it did, this top scholar's family is too unromantic. However, he didn't completely give up the idea of ​​clinging to her, his eyes rolled around, thinking about finding a more suitable time to try again.

It must have failed today because there were too many people.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the villagers had almost finished their meal and gradually wanted to leave.

The rich businessman took advantage of the moment when Zhao Yunchuan stood up to see the guest off and hurried forward, smiling ingratiatingly, and said, "Mr. Number One Scholar, I am really sorry for today. I will drink three cups of wine as an apology."

After saying that, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, as if he wanted to drink away all the previous embarrassment in one gulp.

Out of politeness, Zhao Yunchuan exchanged a few more words with him.

The rich businessman took advantage of every opportunity, and when no one was paying attention, he quietly put a purse into Zhao Yunchuan's hand and whispered, "Master Zhuangyuan, please take this little money. Just think of it as me giving you some money to travel with. When you go out in the future, you will have more money on hand."

There are silver bills inside!

Zhao Yunchuan was startled, but immediately reacted. He pushed the purse back calmly, still with a polite smile on his face, but his tone was firm and unquestionable: "You are embarrassing me. I have entered the government and my salary is enough to support my life. I really don't need these. I appreciate your kindness, but I will never accept this money."

The rich businessman was anxious, and he handed the purse forward again, his eyes full of earnestness: "Master Zhuangyuan, this is really just a small token of my appreciation, please don't refuse it. When you become successful in the future, I still hope that you can take care of me more."

Zhao Yunchuan gently held the rich businessman's hand to stop him from handing over his purse, and patiently explained: "If you really regard me as a friend, don't make it difficult for me. Honesty is the foundation of being an official, and I can't break the rules. If I accept your money today, how can I face the people in the future, and how can I face my conscience?"

At this time, Fang Dashan happened to come over and saw this scene. He also hurriedly said: "My lord, our whole family appreciates your kindness, but Yunchuan has always been a child of principle. Since he is unwilling to accept it, please don't force it."

The rich businessman was disappointed, but he couldn't insist, so he took back the purse and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't think it through, Mr. Zhuangyuan and Mr. Fang, don't take it to heart."

The rich businessman left in embarrassment.

Alas, this family is completely unromantic!

Bai Guihua had long heard that a wealthy businessman was planning to give Fang Dashan a concubine. When she heard this news, it was like a powder keg being ignited, and a nameless anger suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.

"What the hell is going on!" Bai Guihua was so angry that she stamped her feet, put her hands on her hips, and her chest rose and fell violently. "Your father is already very old, and your son-in-law has already won the first place in the imperial examination. Why are they still here to join in the fun? Are these people mentally ill? They have to make such trouble."

Her face turned red and her eyes were full of angry flames. "You can't stand seeing others living in peace and harmony, right? I really don't know what they are thinking. Why are they so annoying? They just want to..." She became more and more excited as she spoke, and she even spat fiercely, as if this could get rid of all the disgust in her heart.

Bai Guihua was furious in the house. Fang Dashan hurried in from outside. When he saw his wife's expression, he understood a little and hurried forward to comfort her: "Guihua, calm down. It's not worth getting sick from this."

Seeing that it was Fang Dashan, Bai Guihua became even more angry: "You are so good, you are acting like nothing happened. Someone wants to give you a concubine, and you can still keep calm!"

Fang Dashan smiled bitterly helplessly: "I know what's going on. How could I not know what they are thinking? They just want to climb up the social ladder by relying on our Yunchuan family."

As he was talking, Zhao Yunchuan came in, looking concerned: "Mother-in-law, don't get angry and hurt yourself. My father-in-law and I will definitely take care of this matter."

Fang Dashan continued to express his loyalty: "We have been together for so many years, don't you know me? When did I ever have second thoughts about you?"

Fang Dashan continued to show his loyalty, his eyes sincere and firm, holding Bai Guihua's hand tightly, his tone sincere and gentle: "Guihua, for so many years, we have gone through ups and downs together, from the poor days to today, relying on each other's support. Those who want to use concubines to get close to me are just wishful thinking. I only have you in my heart, and only you can support this family, no one else can interfere."

Zhao Yunchuan also said in a gentle voice: "Mom, I see all the love and affection that Dad has for you. Don't get upset about this. We must resolutely resist this kind of evil trend."
