Old Man Shen didn't care what everyone thought about this matter, and directly asked Lord Shen how much silver he gave Shen Shijin last time, and Old Man Shen reported a number in the middle of the ring, and Old Man Shen looked around at everyone, "Tomorrow, you will prepare it for Shixuan according to what you gave to Shijin." ”

None of the people at the table spoke, and Old Man Shen knew very well the shock that this said to everyone, but he just looked at Shen Shixuan and said, "It's also the first time to cooperate with the Bai family, if you don't understand, please ask your father and your uncle more, do a good job." ”

Shen Shixuan nodded, Old Man Shen's face was slightly tired, he moved his chair, and the Jiang steward behind him supported him, Shen Shijin wanted to stand up and help him, but Old Man Shen waved his hand, "You sit down and eat slowly, I'll go back first." ”

It wasn't until Old Man Shen left for a long time that there was movement in the hall, Shen Shijin sat down slowly, his eyes were mocking that could not be concealed, and he said to Shen Shixuan on the side, "Congratulations to the second brother, grandfather values it so much." ”

The sour taste in his tone was something that everyone could hear, but Shen Shixuan shook the tea in the cup and smiled calmly, "You and I are both grandsons of the Shen family, and there is no need to congratulate my grandfather on his fancy to the eldest brother." ”

Shen Shijin looked at him, and the corners of his mouth raised a snort, "Second brother is really out of luck now!" ”

"I've been out of business for so many years, and now it's time to be out, and it's embarrassing to always let my eldest brother wait for me Shixuan in front." Shen Shixuan had a harmless smile on his face and gently put down the cup.

Shen Shijin didn't expect that he had only been away for two months, and his grandfather suddenly made this decision, his first reaction was why the second brother, since he was a child, in the eyes of his grandfather, he was not motivated and did not learn well, and his grandfather never took a fancy to him at all.

Now that my grandfather said this, I wanted to hand over the Shen family to the two of them to take care of it together.

How could he be willing, over the years, the Shen family had long been his subconscious.

Thinking of this, Shen Shijin looked at Shen Shixuan's eyes unkindly, and said in a low voice, "Then you might as well stay unproductive, don't you just stay obediently, don't think about it if it's not yours." ”

The smile on Shen Shixuan's face became brighter and brighter, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice, but replied to his words smoothly, "What the eldest brother said is not wrong, if it's not yours, don't think about it, because it's mine, it will always be mine." The last few words, Shen Shixuan said sonorously and powerfully.

The faces of the eldest master Shen and the second master Shen at the same table changed when they heard it, if there was some hesitation in the words of the old man Shen just now, then Shen Shixuan's words were straightforward to say his intentions, they are all descendants of the Shen family, why do you want to let it!

"Okay, okay, then we'll see, so that you can die and understand that it's not yours, you shouldn't be delusional!" Shen Shijin stood up suddenly, and the chair behind him took a few steps back, and there was a deep sound between the wood and the bluestone floor.

After Shen Shijin said this, he directly threw up his sleeves and left, Shen Shixuan was still sitting there, drinking the rest of the tea, with a faint smile on his face, as if what the eldest brother said just now was not aimed at him.

As soon as Yan went out, Shui Ruoqian also got up, and several people in the hall walked away.

Everyone looked at each other and hadn't digested this matter, the Shen family was about to change?

Second Master Shen glanced at Master Shen helplessly, "Big brother, Shixuan, this kid." Before he finished speaking, Master Shen waved his hand to signal him not to say anything, "Who is in charge of this family, as long as it can be better, we have nothing to worry about." ”

Having said that, Second Master Shen still saw a touch of reluctance on the eldest brother's face, and finally sighed and didn't continue, his son's decision was told to him before, but he didn't expect his father to say it on a day like today, he should be happy that his son has a chance, but he still has a faint uneasiness in his heart...

Shen Shixuan didn't care what the Shen family guessed, after getting the silver from the uncle, he went to discuss cooperation with Bai Jingming, which was also the first time the Shen family got involved in the industry, the fur and timber business in Yubei, and the southern Xinjiang ore that the two families were not familiar with.

The former Bai family has been very mature, the Bai family has been in contact with Yubei for many years, and the southern Xinjiang ore is still proposed by Chu Yiyao, and there will be news when Huaishan comes back from southern Xinjiang, although it is a risky attempt, but if it is effective, the benefits are also remarkable.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yiyao took Kang'er, who was already able to walk, to play in the yard, and the little guy wanted to run away not long after he learned to walk, so he rushed to Chu Yiyao's side, threw himself into her arms, and shouted softly, "Mother." ”

Chu Yiyao touched his forehead, he sweated after a while, pulled him to the house, stopped when he walked to the front of the steps, Kang'er raised his little short legs, took Chu Yiyao's hand after stepping up a step, and lifted the other leg by himself, Chu Yiyao cooperated and walked slowly, walked four or five steps and finally walked to the corridor, without waiting for her to say anything, Kang'er stretched out her other hand to wipe her face, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and said in a milky voice, "I'm tired to death." ”

The peacock on the side laughed, "Little master, what are you tired of?" ”

Kang'er smiled sweetly at her, pointed to the steps with her little finger, and pretended to gasp twice, looking very cute.

The two little maids who were cleaning the windows in the corridor looked at it and smiled, but he was embarrassed, turned around and hugged Chu Yiyao, waved his little hand to ask her to hug her, and buried his head on her shoulders when he picked it up, pretending to be shy and not daring to let them see it.

Chu Yiyao took her acting son into the house, and when she got off the ground, Kang'er went to find something to play by herself, followed by the nurse and the two maids.

"Miss, the Chu family has a letter." Baosheng walked in and handed the letter to Chu Yiyao, Kang Er looked curious, and had to lie in her arms, the little fart/pouting was lying on her knees, occasionally facing her, seeing her lower her head, she was busy covering her face and hiding herself, giggling and having fun.

The letter from the second brother said that Huaishan and her sister-in-law were back, so that she had time to go home.

Chu Yiyao put down the letter, saw her son looking at her with wide eyes, picked him up and kissed him on the cheek, "Mother will take you to grandma's house to see if your uncle and aunt are okay?" ”

Kang Er looked at her with a blushing face, "Mother, shame." Then he took what she had said, "Uncle, good! ”

The next morning, after going to Guan's place, Chu Yiyao took Kang'er back to Chu's house, this was the first time he went out, and the people couldn't reach the window of the carriage, so Chu Yiyao had to hold him, looking at the street market outside the window with a novel face, and pulling Chu Yiyao every once in a while, Chu Yiyao patiently told him what he saw, and Kang'er, who was very curious, asked while looking for a small piece of paper that Chu Yiyao used to recognize the picture for him at the beginning.

After arriving at the Chu family, Chu Yiyao handed him over to Wei Chuyue, he didn't recognize his life, and he became familiar with his little nephew Chu Yinglian, one was a little more than a year old, and the other was less than two years old, and they soon became a game.

Chu Yiyao went directly to Huaishan, and within a few days of returning to Chu's house, many things didn't have time to be packed, Huaishan's house was full of things brought back from southern Xinjiang, and when she saw her coming, she smiled and moved her out of the place to sit, "Come here so soon." ”

"You've been here for more than a year, can I come over quickly." Chu Yiyao took the cup he handed over, from the time she gave birth to her son to now, more than a year has passed since the uncle came back with his sister-in-law, and the coming and going to southern Xinjiang will not exceed half a year at most.

Huai Shan smiled, it was not difficult to see that he had gained a lot from this trip, and Chu Yiyao did not break him, stretched out his hand, and begged, "Where are my things?" ”

Huai Shan laughed again when he saw her righteous appearance, this is the great good man pretended by the robbers, and his true form was revealed at the critical moment. Pull out a box of things from the pile and put it in front of her, "I won't forget it for you." ”

Chu Yiyao opened it, and the box was filled with large and small uncarved jade, all of which were in good condition, and they would definitely be more beautiful after processing.

Chu Yiyao looked at the box greedily, raised his head and looked at Huaishan unabashedly, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Also, these are just some of them for you to see." Huai Shan knew that she liked these, and went back to help her collect a lot of them this time, but this girl was not satisfied, and she couldn't wait to fill a room.

Chu Yiyao smiled, "Uncle, I didn't have time to tell you last time that Shixuan wants to do the business of this ore in Southern Xinjiang, and I have to help you match." "There are a lot of these jade mines in southern Xinjiang, but outsiders are not allowed to mine them, and because the terrain of southern Xinjiang is tortuous and difficult to distinguish, people from southern Xinjiang really can't find a place.

Speaking of business, Huai Shan also sat down, "If you want to do business, you have to get the consent of the Huai family to do so much." "To put it simply, the money earned in this has to be given to the Huai family.

Chu Yiyao nodded, "That's natural, the Huai family is the first family in southern Xinjiang, those quarryed jade, in addition to its original price, we will pay another double the price, and the silver will belong to the Huai family, uncle, what do you think?" ”

Huai Shan shook his head, "It's not enough to flip through it." ”

Chu Yiyao was speechless, this is not enough, ten taels of silver, she took it back for twenty taels, and the extra part was given to the Huai family, that was not enough.

Huai Shan nodded, "At least three times." "The jade thing has a lot of room for appreciation, the huge raw stone is sold at a price more than three times higher than the original after processing and carving, and some are ten times or twenty times upward, although the people of southern Xinjiang are simple but not fools, how can they be willing to sell.

"I have to ensure that there is no damage to the freight to and fro, so I am not at a loss." Chu Yiyao muttered, there are also jade mines here in Daliang, but most of these are in the hands of the imperial court, and a few are also in many powerful people, and the rest are not good.

Huai Shan looked at her reluctantly and smiled, "I don't know your little bit of caution, you can't afford to make less money, will you do a loss-making business?" ”

Chu Yiyao didn't admit it, "I'm in business, and I'm not in a good church." ”

Huai Shan looked at her and pondered for a long time, and said bluntly, "Then do you want it?" ”

"Yes, of course!" Chu Yiyao immediately agreed, and said nonchalantly, "Isn't it three times, give more silver to support the head of the Huai family!" ”

Huai Shan reminded again, "I mean more than three times, or maybe five times, it all depends on what the head of the family says." As soon as the words fell, he saw Chu Yiyao looking at him with a painful face, "Uncle, as a native of Southern Xinjiang, you are also from the Huai family, you can't play a family card, five times ten times down, but you really don't have to make money." ”

Huaishan couldn't help laughing, and finally let go, "Look at what scares you, this thing is very cheap in southern Xinjiang, and it is not the same price as Daliang here, even if it is ten times, you will not lose money." ”

Chu Yiyao breathed a sigh of relief, it is not her goal to make sure that she does not lose money, her goal is to make a lot of money, the silver she gave to Shen Shixuan privately is for this jade, and the cooperation between the two families on the surface must be there, how can she let it go in private, the full bowl she earns is the top priority.

"Then when the time comes, I will let Xianggong and the eldest young master of the Bai family talk with the uncle." Huai Shan nodded, Chu Yiyao got up and left the box for the time being, and went to Lan Xin Courtyard to see Qiao Cong'an.

In the two days since he came back, Qiao Cong'an's complexion was good, and the smile on his face had increased a lot, especially when he talked about going to southern Xinjiang, the smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

It's easier to spark when you're alone, and Chu Yiyao is happy for her sister-in-law and uncle from the bottom of her heart.

Halfway through speaking, Qiao Cong'an felt a little embarrassed, and smiled at Chu Yiyao, "You see I'm talking about it, it's the first time I've been out of this kind of distance for so long, and it's been more than a year since I left, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it before I arrived in southern Xinjiang." ”

It was not in a hurry, I played all the way to the past, and it took more than three months to arrive in southern Xinjiang, Qiao Cong'an first went to worship the mother of Huaishan, and then went to Huai's house.

In the main house of the Huai family, Qiao Cong'an saw the new head of the Huai family, her half-brother, and the person who was called his father died seven or eight years ago.

She doesn't have much family affection for the Huai family, and she hasn't felt the word warmth in the memories of the two years in that huge family, but the head of the Huai family is a little concerned about what she has experienced in the past 20 years.

It is Qiao Cong'an's luck, every head of the Huai family fights is very cruel, even the daughter who marries out will be implicated because of the support of her husband's family, so every time the head of the family changes, there are countless dead siblings behind him, and the same is true for this head of the family, there are no more brothers and sisters left, so he is particularly concerned about Qiao Cong'an.

Chu Yiyao listened to her quietly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, maybe one day, the sister-in-law will be willing to follow her uncle to southern Xinjiang, and when that day comes, the days of staying there will not be just half a year...

At the beginning of July, Shen Shixuan and Huaishan negotiated about jade, and they planned to leave for southern Xinjiang at the end of July, led by Huaishan, so that they could rush back before the year.

Chu Yiyao packed his luggage for him, it didn't matter if the weather was warm when he went, it would be late autumn when he came back, and none of the winter clothes he should bring could be left behind.

"It's such a long way to go, I must be in a hurry, I put a few books, you can read them when you are bored, and you can't read too much, so as not to hurt your eyes with bumps." Chu Yiyao pointed to a few books on the table and said.

"I've prepared a few winter clothes for you, and you have to remember to add them when it's cold on the way back."

"There are still some foods to eat, all of them are dried and sealed, and there is a jar of pickles made by Qian's mother in it, if you haven't eaten it and it's past November, don't eat it again."

Chu Yiyao chattered, looking at the clothes on the stool next to him and was about to say more, only to realize that he had just been reminded, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Shen Shixuan grabbed her shoulders and pulled her around, seeing that she was a little distracted, he took the box from her hand and put it aside, and held her in his arms.

His reassuring voice sounded in his ears, "Don't worry, I will take good care of myself." ”

Chu Yiyao felt indescribable in her heart that the husband and wife would face a long separation in just over two years, and she was a little reluctant.

His hands were hot from his hands, and various pictures flashed in Chu Yiyao's mind, a little at a loss, looking at the salute on the ground, he spoke again, "If you have anything to eat, I asked Mother Qian to prepare it for you, and my mother also sent some things, I put them in the box for you, I..."

"Shhhh Chu Yiyao's eyes widened in vain, Shen Shixuan bit her ear lightly and said slowly, the warm breath floated a little wet near her ear, causing a shiver.

The hand fixed on his waist was hugged very tightly, Chu Yiyao smiled slightly, wrapped his arms around his waist, and hugged him quietly.

After a long time, Shen Shixuan said in a dumb voice, "What should I do, thinking that I won't see you for so long, I want to take you away too." There was some childishness in his tone, full of nostalgia.

Chu Yiyao raised her head, her face flushed with shyness.

The two of them hugged each other and whispered like they did when they were newly married, nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is the deepening relationship.

This night, the nurse and Kang'er did not come to say hello, Baosheng and they also retreated early, Shen Shixuan tried his best to please the women under him, Chu Yiyao followed him to death, and he couldn't count how many peaks he climbed, Chu Yiyao's sight was full of his appearance, the sweat on his forehead dripped down, and spread hot on her skin, which was the fit that spread straight limbs from the bottom of his heart, making them a perfect combination.

The once-rising temperature in the curtain made both of them sweat profusely, and heavy gasps sounded in their ears, Chu Yiyao opened her eyes slightly, and couldn't help laughing, it was crazy.

Shen Shixuan teased her sensitivity familiarly, raised his head slightly and reached out to wipe the sweat on her cheeks, and dropped a kiss on her lips, Chu Yiyao brushed aside his restless hand and begged for mercy, "Don't." ”

Shen Shixuan sped up the speed of his subordinates, watched her body suddenly bow, and blocked her mouth with a smile, "Liar, you see that she still wants it." ”…
