Chapter 311: Go to Qingcheng
"Go and help my cousin pack her bags, and we had a very pleasant and friendly conversation just now. ”
She fully realized the mistake of not staying with her family during the Chinese New Year, and was planning to pack her luggage and send it to the location of the Liu family's old house in Chujia Town. ”
"So, Qingcha, go, tell people to do all these things well, don't be said that our first family has neglected the closest guests. ”
After saying this, Chu Xue gently lifted the hem of her skirt, slowly got up from the sofa, and was about to walk in the direction of the door.
At this time, Liu Mingzhen was stunned to stare at this cousin who finally tore off her disguise, she never thought that her cousin, who had accommodated her since she was a child and treated her gently, the truest thought in her heart was, did she hate her so much?
The scene that I once imagined to make the other party sad because of my malice is how ridiculous it is in this situation.
Didn't he weigh the intention of the first snow, and finally let her get rid of her big trouble?
No, wait, wait, there's one more important thing, what did Hatsuyuki just say?
Through one sentence, explain one thing, let the Chu family get rid of the Liu family, a relative family that is facing decay step by step?
Not good!!
At this time, Chu Xue had already walked out of the room and turned downstairs along the stairs, so that Liu Mingzhen, who poked her head out to stop her from continuing to walk, only saw a skirt corner that made her collapse and helpless.
Because at this moment, in the hall she poked her head to see, her uncle and cousin, who were originally busy in the back office, heard that her aunt had returned, so they all temporarily took a break from work and came to the hall to welcome her and her aunt.
"Madame......"
"Mother, mother, are you back?"
It was at this time that the girl she didn't have time to stop, her cousin Chu Xue, smiled and stepped down the last step.
"Father, Mother, Big Brother......"
Chu Xue's expression did not show any grievances, but her eyes were unconsciously looking towards the place where Shao Nianshi was sitting next to her aunt.
I don't know why, the moment I saw this bad boy, Chu Xue suddenly felt a little aggrieved.
So what he said next was that sincere: "Mother, you must send my cousin back to her hometown. ”
"Oh dear, why is that?"
The two men of the Chu family never spoke, only the first wife Liu Ruiyu was very strange.
Next, Liu Mingzhen, who was standing upstairs, looked at the first snow downstairs clearly, and narrated the beginning and end of the matter impartially in an almost frank attitude.
"To avoid embarrassment, I didn't expect that my boyfriend was so good that my cousin liked it very much. ”
"Shao Nianshi, do you have anything to say to me about this?"
Shao Nianshi, who was suddenly asked, was stunned, and he tried his best to rummage through his past memories to find information about Chu Xue's cousin.
And then in his smart brain, the memory of Liu Mingzhen was too vague.
And after this pitiful memory was told by him, the whole family wondered how and why Liu Mingzhen liked Shao Nianshi.
This kind of thing is naturally impossible for Shao Nian to lie.
Then, the rest of the people who have become a little strange are Liu Mingzhen.
Being an innocent person should not be harshly blamed.
So the only way to end the source of this contradiction and let their family live this New Year quietly is ...... sent Liu Mingzhen, who caused trouble, to her own home.
God knows how much of a blow this decision made by everyone in the hall in a quiet environment brought Liu Mingzhen.
Because she knew that from now on, the privileges she had enjoyed in her first home would no longer exist.
From today on, she will be like the girls outside who have no friendship with Chu Xue, if she wants to be close to Chu Xue, she will have to send someone to hand over the name card to Chu Xue.
Liu Mingzhen, who was standing on the second floor, was so desperate at this time, she really regretted her temper that could never be contained, and her brain that was not sober when she met a man.
And when she finished all the stupid things, she remembered the consequences she was about to face after doing the stupid things.
Now she has to find a way to make up for it.
It's a pity that she has only learned to eat, drink and have fun, but her brain is a plate of paste.
She couldn't think of how she would deal with it, but she let herself go on a little abruptly, and wanted to explain it to everyone again.
It's just that everything is late, as if this is just a small trigger point, so that the first master can endure his in-laws, the stupid behavior of the Liu family to the limit, a point that can be cathartic.
And once this node is touched, don't think about the first master to close the flood gate again.
Therefore, when Liu Mingzhen stammered and wanted to make up for what he had just said, Master Chu, who was sitting in the center of the hall, only had the same kind smile as Chu Xue, and said the same words to Liu Mingzhen: "Chu Zhong, send Miss Mingzhen home." ”
"Children are so willful, who doesn't spend the New Year with their parents?"
"After all, she always has the surname Liu, isn't she?"
"Madam, you can't spoil Mingzhen too much, think about your eldest brother, how anxious you should be if you can't find Mingzhen now. ”
Mrs. Chu, who blinked, frowned, the little girl she always liked to protect in the past was not cute at all today.
Yes, she loves her niece very much, but compared to her own daughter, that love is only superficial.
So, when her husband made this suggestion, she did not stop it.
After all, when such a thing happened, she didn't go to her brother to ask for an explanation, but just sent people home, which was already very lenient and kind.
Liu Mingzhen looked at the scene in the field, and her lips trembled slightly.
Her cheeks, her whole body, were no longer the bright red that she was most proud of.
She was like a frosted eggplant, hanging her head, being stuffed by the steward of the Chu family into the carriage to Chujia Town, watching the Chu Family Mansion behind her get farther and farther away from her, farther and farther away, until she could no longer see its trace.
Liu Mingzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, covered her face and cried, with resentment in her heart, and cursed the first snow that sent her away, and she was not in a good mood during this year.
It's a pity that Liu Mingzhen probably thought wrongly, after sending the person she hated the most away, Chu Xue not only didn't have any frustration, but was very happy to gather with her family to prepare for the upcoming New Year.
And this was not spent in the main house, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, where only five people could sit in the family plus Shao Nian, was spent in a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.
After getting along for so many days, except for Chu Shaomin, who was still a little awkward when he was the eldest brother, the others quickly accepted Shao Nian's existence.
Now, Shao Nianshi, who is full of wine and food, is sitting in a small corner of the living room with the master of the first family, listening to the intermittent sound of firecrackers coming from the city, talking about the new journey that Shao Nian will start on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
"Why do you want to do textiles?"
"It can't be that Wang Shuzi's wife is strict and deliberately embarrasses you, right?"
"If you don't want to do this," when he said this, the old man Chu also cautiously glanced at his wife's place, and found that his lively lady was carrying a beautiful pearl necklace to Chu Xue's body, so he lowered his voice and said to Shao Nianshi opposite: "You can try to do business in the north and south leather goods and local specialties." ”
"You also know that the business of the first family's medicinal herbs and the medicine shop is one and the same. ”
"But I never said that the Liu family's grocery firm had about the purchase and sale of precious medicinal materials to the inside, which was with the permission of the first family and cut out the benefits. ”
"If you have the intention of expanding your wealth and industry, you can try to buy the property of the Liu family. ”
"The outlook for those industries is not just as weak as it appears to be. ”
"These businesses that could have been run into business have been run by my stupid uncle to become what they are now, which is simply a tyrannical thing. ”
"In the past, because of the affection between relatives, I never paid too much attention to the wealth of the Liu family. ”
"But in the past few years, because of the mercy of my subordinates, those white silver, those things that should have made money, have been snatched away by other merchants who have no affection. ”
"If you want to go further, it's better to start with the Liu family. ”
"Instead of cheapening outsiders, it's better to cheapen your own in-laws. ”
"Anyway, you have a relationship with the Liu family, even if you do it, I, who is just your uncle, don't have much to say. ”
"It's better to be cheap than to fall into the hands of outsiders. ”
"After all, my wife's surname is also Liu, so we have the right to keep it for them. ”
Regarding the words of the first master, Shao Nianshi agreed very much.
But now, it's not yet time.
After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Liu family's external image and impression are still very strong.
They must also be like the Ying family, they need a strong reason or an external reason that suddenly appeared, otherwise, just digging up the leftovers of the Liu family will not be able to meet Shao Nian's needs for the Liu family.
The Liu family has only one most famous industry to the outside world, and that is his trade with the Tute in the northeast and northwest.
It is unnecessary to make money on this road, but the connections involved in it are what Shao Nian was eager to take over.
Now there is no hurry, let him answer Wang Shuzi's request and go to Qingcheng to see if it is as his father-in-law Zhang Dujun said, he is a businessman who can make money.
Thinking of this, Shao Nian held the cup and showed a comprehension expression with the first master.
As planned, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he took the train from Jicheng to Qingcheng, and met with Chen Jiefu, a new textile in Qingcheng, as agreed.
Shao Nian, who was sitting on the train, got a first-class train ticket sent by Zhang Huaizhi, who was far away in Tianjin.
The third carriage behind the locomotive is located.
Hanging behind the front of the coal-burning car is a vacant carriage for the chef and crew of the dining car to work and rest, and then there is a dining car that only guests can come to the first class and above, and the last two carriages are sold for some special first-class seats, and the next nearly ten wagons are dragged down, which are slightly more affordable tickets for the general public and below.
Second class seats will have cleaner seats, and passengers who have purchased standing tickets will not be allowed to enter the carriage they are in.
Hot water will be provided at the front and rear of the train, and a small but separate toilet will be available only to those who have purchased tickets.
But after these second-class tickets from them, it turned into a crowded, stuffy, filthy tin jar.
The row of three people facing each other can squeeze four, five, or even more people.
The corridors with double rows of seats were also full of people.
Because flight attendants can't walk through the layers of customers to the sinks and toilets in their aisles to fill them with clean water.
When the passengers in the carriage wanted to get a cup of hot water to drink during the journey of nearly 20 hours, they found that the square box made of iron sheets could only make a squeaky empty and dry sound.
As for the toilet where everyone's excrement is piled up?
Even people with a strong urge to urinate can endure it for a while, and they are very reluctant to face that terrifying space.
Therefore, at this time, Shao Nianshi was very satisfied with Zhang Huaizhi's arrangement hundreds of kilometers away.
In any case, it is much better for his collaborator not to be a stingy person than for him to pick and search.
At least he can enjoy this thoughtful journey, in the empty carriage, drink a cup of tea sent by the flight attendant, and tune the record player to his favorite Mei family's new song "Sifan" a few years ago, so that Shao Nianshi can take advantage of this boring journey time and listen to a hearty drama.
To be honest, Shao Nian has been very busy these years, and just work and study have made him so busy that he forgets all the entertainment around him.
When I was young, the conditions were not good, and I couldn't get in touch with the leisure methods that these upper-class people liked.
When I am capable, it is because I want to make up for my own shortcomings, but I can't get in touch with things related to fun.
Now, Shao Nianshi listened to the collection of operas specially collected by everyone Mei and everyone Tan in the film machine, and Shao Nianshi suddenly understood why someone would be so distracted and bankrupt in order to win the role.
