Chapter 70: Let go
The smile on Chu Yiyao's face froze, the fist under her sleeve was clenched, and there was still a trace of emotion in her eyes, if she didn't hate it at all, it would be self-deception, no matter how disgusted Chu Miaolan was, it couldn't match Chu Yiyao's hatred for Yan Chengzhi, his hesitation, his cowardice, his betrayal, and the Yan family and the second uncle partnered to swallow one-third of her Chu family's property.
"Found you." Suddenly, there was a shout from behind Chu Yiyao, and when she looked back, Young Master Li walked towards her angrily, and said to her, "Who are you talking about being a ruffian!" ”
"Whoever responds is whoever you say, Li Gongzi, your heart is smaller than the tip of a needle." At this moment, Chu Yiyao was glad that someone called her, and looking back at Young Master Li, Chu Yiyao replied with a smile.
"I'm small-minded, I think you're vicious!" Young Master Li's face turned red and cursed.
"Brother Li, it's not kind to quarrel with a girl's family like this." Yan Chengzhi's voice came from the side, and he walked to Young Master Li's side and persuaded with a smile.
"You don't know how much she just spoke!" Young Master Li said unconvinced, and felt that it would be a shame for so many people to talk about it themselves, so he snorted at Chu Yiyao, "I don't care about you." With that, the man left.
"Miss Chu, Brother Li, he is such a straightforward person, don't take it to heart." Yan Chengzhi saw him leave, turned his head and said softly to Chu Yiyao.
In front of outsiders, he will always be a gentle and humble look, if he hadn't married once, Chu Yiyao would not have known how cowardly the man in front of him was, the relationship between the two was not bad in the first few years after they first married, the Chu family had not completely fallen, and she still had a dowry of one-third of the Chu family's property.
But just because she was infertile, Mrs. Yan stuffed one room after another, Yan Chengzhi was stunned that according to Mrs. Yan's instructions, half of the time in January was in those concubines, and she didn't dare to refute Mrs. Yan, but those concubines were also infertile.
Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to Wei'er, Chu Miaolan lived in the Yan Mansion, the relationship between the two changed, the Chu family had a problem, she had to take all the family property in her hand to remedy it, but what she didn't expect was that this remedy turned out to be remedied in the hands of the second uncle and the Yan family, helping to expand the Yan family's industry, so that he was fortunate to have a place in the four major families in Jinling.
All this did not get the slightest gratitude from him, she had no mother's family and was isolated in the Yan family, so he unscrupulously began to have an affair with Chu Miaolan, and he didn't kill her because he felt that he was not a threat at all.
If it weren't for the old lady of the Yan family, he and Chu Miaolan didn't know what else they would do.
"Miss Chu? Are you okay. Yan Chengzhi shouted at her again, Chu Yiyao glanced at him faintly, and turned to look at Xitang.
Yan Chengzhi behind him felt a little strange about her attitude, the clear estrangement on Miss Chu seemed to be aimed at him, and the friend who was traveling with him pulled him, Yan Chengzhi glanced at her and left with his friend.
After a long time, the newcomer entered the cave room, Chu Yiyao looked back, the person was long gone, she should treat these as a nightmare, the moment she woke up from rebirth, everything related to the Yan family had nothing to do with her, she wanted to defend the Chu family, not to take revenge on him. If the Yan family still wanted to stretch out this hand in this life, then she would unceremoniously raise a knife and chop it!
Chu Yiyao went to the new house to take a look at Qin Manqiu, it was full of people from the Wang family, Chu Yiyao stood by the door and looked at it before leaving, and when he got to the front yard, he could still hear about Wang Jilin's bold words in the afternoon.
And the protagonist of this bold and ambitious speech, he doesn't know where to hide at the moment, and Chu Yiyao also didn't see the second aunt and Chu Miaofei.
After the banquet was over, I got on the carriage and went back to Chu's house, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the streets and alleys, and the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense.
Towards the end of the year, the Chu family was also very busy, on the night of the twenty-ninth Chu Yiyao was still busy in the business bank looking at the accounts sent by various shops, counting so many sums of silver this year, it was basically possible to pay back Uncle Qin's silver, Chu Yiyao put down the pen and rubbed his neck, and said to Chu Zhong opposite, "Uncle Zhong, next year is a good start." ”
"The eldest lady has worked hard." Chu Zhong also felt happy, he had been back for more than two years, and he finally saw that the business bank had improved, compared to the worries of the past two years, it will get better next year.
"Everyone works hard together." Chu Yiyao took out a box from the drawer and pushed it in front of Chu Zhong, "Uncle Zhong, I couldn't get this silver from the business house in the past two years, and Yiyao was cheeky, this is this year, you put it away." ”
Chu Zhong opened the box, which contained ten ingots of silver, and filled a small box, he looked up at her in surprise, "I can't accept this." ”
"Why can't you accept it, the current general manager of the trading house is not decided, but what Uncle Zhong has done can be judged by the title of the general manager, without you, there would be no today's trading house, these things are what you deserve." How could five hundred taels of silver be enough to express Chu Yiyao's gratitude to him, but just such a piece of silver, Chu Zhong still felt that it was too much.
"Miss, I can't use so much to live alone, so you should go back with this silver." Chu Zhongtui said no, Chu Yiyao shook his head, "Uncle Zhong, even if you don't want it, the few stewards who came with you at the beginning, they always have to support their families, you take more of this silver, and they take less, which can be regarded as thanking them for their hard work in the past few years." ”
When Chu Zhong heard this, he didn't say anything anymore, "Then I'll take it for them." ”
"Uncle Zhong, sooner or later, this family will be handed over to Ying Zhu, but Ying Zhu is too young now, and when he takes care of these things in the future, he still needs Uncle Zhong to give him more pointers by his side."
"Miss, Second Young Master, is he really not coming back?" Chu Zhong also didn't want the eldest lady to spend all her time in the trading house, so wouldn't she get married.
"Whoever stopped him from coming back was because he didn't want to come back." Chu Yiyao said lightly, "The second young master of the Wang family is married, he plans to become a monk in the Thousand Buddha Temple, and I won't say a word." ”
"Many people say that the Chu family will recruit a son-in-law in the future, so that the eldest lady can continue to sit in the business house." Chu Zhong thought for a moment and said.
"There will be no chance to let outsiders enter the Chu family to interfere in the affairs of the Chu family, even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I won't recruit a son-in-law." Those who say that they are recruiting sons-in-law don't want their sons to marry her, so they can come to the Chu family as a matter of course and get a piece of the pie.
"Miss, if you don't marry, then the old lady will die in a hurry." Chu Zhong was also afraid that Chu Yiyao would really break his marriage for these things, so he would really be ashamed of his master.
"It's still early, Uncle Zhong, what are you anxious about, you haven't married yet~" Chu Yiyao got up and looked at the shelf, took down a thick booklet, there was still dust on it, and opened it curiously, and it was the types of porcelain that the Chu family had entered in the past years.
It's fourteen years old, and it's not too early, Chu Zhong looked at her and looked down and sighed.
"Uncle Zhong, look at this!" Chu Yiyao flipped half and pointed to one of the porcelains, "It turns out that we have also entered this kind of porcelain, so why didn't we enter later." ”
Chu Zhong stood up and took a look, it was a relatively early porcelain that Master Chu had entered when he was still alive, "It doesn't sell well, many trading houses have also entered this, but they can't sell it, so they won't enter it after two times." ”
"It doesn't make sense." Chu Yiyao muttered, she clearly remembered that bottles of this shape sold very well in her previous life, but at that time, the Chu family's firm had gone bankrupt, and this thing was sold first by the Yan family, and with the financial support from the Chu family, her status rose so quickly.
Something suddenly flashed in his mind, Chu Yiyao turned back to the cover, looked at the few lines of big characters on it, and carefully turned the page by page, my father and mother's vision back then was very good, those old porcelain were very good in style and appearance, but the popularity was also a while, so the things that entered would be replaced.
After turning hundreds of pages, Chu Yiyao saw seven or eight more familiar ones in them, these are all things that the Chu family business house no longer entered before she was born, and she will feel familiar because these things have been turned out and re-popularized in her previous life.
"Uncle Zhong, is there such a thing in every trading house?" Chu Yiyao took a deep breath and looked up to ask Chu Zhong.
"That's not necessarily, this is Madame's own arrangement, there are some of them that we haven't entered in the firm, but others have them, Madame will have marks on it, after Madame left, this thing was remembered by the master, and then the old man was unwell and put it there and didn't remember it anymore, and the eldest young master just added it to our firm." Mrs. Chu used to have such a preference, she liked to go to a lot of shops selling porcelain, and if there was anything new that the Chu family didn't have, she would buy it back and write it down, so the first half of this book was very detailed, including all the types of porcelain in those years.
This thing should have fallen into the hands of the Yan family after the collapse of the Chu family firm, to be precise, it should have fallen into the hands of Mrs. Yan, through improvement, Mrs. Yan took out the things that were popular many years ago and sold them again, with the records in this booklet, the porcelain in the Yan family firm can be ahead.
But she didn't know it.
"Uncle Zhong, does the second uncle know about this thing?" Chu Yiyao was a little excited, when the time came, how much profit these things brought to the Yan family at the beginning, how much they could bring to the Chu family.
"The second master's room is upstairs, and this place was originally the eldest young master's." Chu Zhong thought about it and shook his head, and later when the second young master sat here, he hadn't opened the things in the room, so he shouldn't have known either.
Chu Yiyao nodded, she thought that the second uncle should not know, otherwise how could this thing be taken away by the Yan family in the first place.
Looking at the words written by Mrs. Chu on the cover, Chu Yiyao reached out and touched it gently, Mother, this time Yiyao will not live up to your expectations
It was already late when she left the firm, Ah Chuan was waiting for her outside, and Chu Yiyao got into the carriage. When he arrived at the door of Chu's house, Chu Yiyao got out of the car and was about to go in, when he caught a glimpse of Ah Chuan standing on the side of the carriage looking at the depths of the wall in a daze, and looked at the sight, there was nothing in the darkness.
"See what?" Chu Yiyao shouted at him, Ah Chuan hurriedly lowered his head and wiped away the panic in his eyes, "No, it's nothing..."
"You should go back and rest early." Chu Yiyao glanced at him, turned around and walked into the door.
Ah Chuan watched her walk in, and hurried towards the dark place, but he couldn't find the familiar figure he had just seen...
