When Chu Duyuan came back, it was slightly dark, and when he walked into the house and was about to change his clothes, he was startled when he saw the person sitting on the collapse, Chu Yiyao didn't know when he was sitting there, looking down at a few booklets, and the candles were shining on the side.
"When did you come over, don't make a sound." Chu Duyuan's voice had a hint of complaint, jokingly touching her hair, Chu Yiyao stretched out his hand and pushed the booklet in front of him, "The goods from Qiu Yue on the dock have arrived today, second brother, you came back so late, did you follow the second uncle to see it?" ”
Chu Duyuan's face was stunned, he looked up at the teasing on his sister's face, and immediately understood that he was deliberately saying this about himself, and reached out to touch her hair again, but Chu Yiyao blocked it back with one hand, and directly pressed the booklet on his face.
Chu Duyuan knew that this sister had been impatient since she was a child, so she took the booklet and flipped through it, "How can things from so long ago be turned out." ”
"That is, a few years ago, I found it from my eldest brother's study, and this is a related merchant in the Chu family in recent years." Chu Yiyao picked up the bamboo sticks on the side and pointed to a few names on the booklet, "These are the ones my father once helped, you see, there are still these ones." ”
The candle flame reflected her cheeks crimson, and Chu Duyuan raised her eyes and saw her sister's focused appearance, which should be childish and her face showed a sense of calmness, as if in front of her, he was the one who was several years younger.
"What are you looking for these people?" Chu Duyuan is not interested in the affairs of the business house at all, maybe Chu's father and the eldest brother of the Chu family are too capable, Chu Duyuan, as the second son, has not had to touch these since he was a child, and gradually he is too lazy to pay attention to it, and suddenly the two important people are gone, so he can pay attention to it again, but it is too late.
"Since Dad has helped them, they won't stand idly by if we need help." Chu Yiyao pointed to another booklet and said, "This is the few porcelain shops that the eldest brother ran in Datong at that time, and we should have cooperated with us for many years." ”
"Look at what these are doing, the business of the business house is not the second uncle, after teaching Ying Zhu, he will take over in the future." Chu Yiyao snorted, shouldn't she still be glad that other people's families are scrambling to get their property and a business house, and their family is good, pushing and saying no, she just wants to be a shopkeeper and be happy.
"Do you think that when Ying Zhu grows up, the second uncle and those stewards will willingly hand over the affairs of the business to Ying Zhu."
"This is the foundation of the Chu family, what can they do!" Chu Duyuan looked at it casually, and didn't react much to Chu Yiyao's words, Chu Yiyao sighed slightly, don't blame the second brother, she also swore that no matter what those stewards do, this is still the Chu family's business house, and no one can take it away, and in the end, it can't be taken away, leaving an empty shell and countless debts for them.
"The Lan family in Jinling is also his own foundation, why did the Lan family firm go bankrupt three years ago, the Lan family still has the old lady to guard it, what about our Chu family, second brother, can you keep it?" Listening to the faint sarcasm in his sister's tone, Chu Duyuan felt a little unhappy in his heart, "It's not that there are no problems, what's the use of worrying about this, is it possible that someone will listen to me when I go to the business house now!" ”
"I've brought Uncle Zhong back." In the middle of the sound, Chu Yiyao said, "You are the second young master of the Chu family, and now you are the big boss of the business house, if you are not interested in this business, then wait for Ying Zhu to grow up, and then hand it over to him, now, everything in the Chu family must not fall into the hands of others, including the second uncle!" ”
Chu Yiyao's last words were harsh, Chu Duan looked at her in surprise, not long after the death of the eldest brother, the younger sister seemed to have changed as if she had changed a person, "You don't believe the second uncle?" ”
"He is not from the Chu family, why should I believe him." Chu Yiyao quickly wiped away the hatred in her eyes, and unintentionally touched the bracelet on her wrist, "I just need to make sure that Ying Zhu grows up, and the Chu family has not been torn apart." ”
After a long time, Chu Duyuan's laughter came from the air, Chu Yiyao raised his head, Chu Duyuan smiled and there were almost tears in the corners of his eyes, he reached out and rubbed her hair, "Yiyao, what kind of book have you read recently, how can you think about other people's bad, the second uncle came from Huizhou and we also invited him, if it weren't for him, the family would not have been in chaos after the death of the eldest brother." ”
"I didn't deny the credit of the second uncle." If it weren't for that experience, Chu Yiyao wouldn't believe that the second uncle would be like this, let alone that the steward who was so sincere to his father in those years would treat the Chu family like this, "When the second brother learns, the second uncle will naturally be able to go back to Huizhou to do his own business, and he will naturally thank the second uncle when the time comes, does the second brother plan to let the second uncle help us for more than ten years, then the Chu family will really become the second uncle." ”
Chu Duyuan just wanted to say that she was joking, but when she saw her serious eyes, she couldn't laugh anymore, Chu Yiyao's eyes were full of persistence, and there was no smile on her face. As for him, his sister said that these things were something he had never thought of.
"Then let Uncle Zhong teach Ying Zhu, isn't it more effective." After a long time, such a sentence came out of Chu Duyuan's mouth, and Chu Yiyao looked at him fixedly, and did not speak.
The room was quiet for a while, and Ah Chuan outside the house looked at Bao Sheng, who was expressionless opposite him, and was also nervous, except for the cute Bao Toad in the young lady's yard, the rest were not easy to get along with.
"At Ying Zhu's age, may he serve the public? If the second brother is convinced of a milk doll, the second brother is willing. Although she guessed that she couldn't persuade the second brother so quickly, Chu Yiyao was still disappointed in her heart, "It's still that the second brother has more important things to do now, so he can't even care about this." ”
Chu Duan was silent, got up to leave, Chu Yiyao looked at the sky, it was the time to hold the lamp, "Second brother, believe it or not, once you are penniless, she won't even give you the strength to look at you." ”
Chu Yiyao paused and walked out, Chu Yiyao took a deep breath and comforted himself, if he wanted to change his second brother's mind, he couldn't do it overnight, and if he was too hasty, he would be forced into a desperate situation...
A few days later, Xiao finally couldn't stay still, early in the morning Chu Yiyao had just gotten up and had breakfast, and the Treasure Pavilion sent someone over, saying that it was a rare good weather, and he wanted to go out to play and go out, and the goal was also directed at Xiangshan.
Xiangshan and Tongshan are the two mountains that Jinling is famous for, every time in the early spring and autumn season, there are a lot of people who come to see the maple leaves, and on the top of Xiangshan, there is a marriage temple, not everyone can have the opportunity to unsign, and the famous master of unsigning the same dragon sees the head and does not see the end, so to be able to meet the marriage that he unraveled, usually very effective, and he only solves ten signatures a day.
Too many people want to be this fateful person, but most of them are disappointed.
Half an hour's carriage to the foot of Xiangshan needs to walk up, climb to the top of the mountain on the road to climb a lot, there are also a lot of pavilions along the road, there are more spacious roadside there are a lot of vendors, there are all kinds of purse sachets on it, and there are even magic sticks there to count, where the master of the interpretation will appear in Xiangshan today.
Chu Yiyao was not as interested as they were, and walked behind slowly, Xiao Shi with three daughters was very excited, what did she do when she came to Jinling, the most important thing is the lifelong event of the three daughters, and now the eldest daughter is fourteen years old, she refused several family affairs in Huizhou with a hard heart, that is, she wants to marry her daughter to everyone in Jinling.
"Yiyao, it's not that the second aunt said you, you are tired after so many journeys, and this body will be disliked by your in-laws when you marry in the future." Xiao Shi took his little daughter and walked for a while, and when he looked back, Chu Yiyao had already fallen a lot, and he had some opinions, and his voice was not light or heavy, and people passing by heard it.
"If the second aunt is in a hurry to ask for a signature, you can go up first, this scenery is excellent, I will go slower, and I will go to the temple to find you later." Chu Yiyao saw the gazes of others and replied with a smile.
"Okay, come, you go ahead and show us the way." Xiao simply stopped there, waiting for her to come up slowly, Chu Yiyao smiled and said, "Then the second aunt don't rush me, I still want to go slower and take a closer look." ”
Xiao's face changed slightly, how could she not be in a hurry, if she was late, she found the person who solved the sign, if the ten branches were solved, it would be in vain, think about it, she motioned to Chu Miaofei to step forward and hold her to hurry up, Chu Miaofei was not happy, Xiao glared at her, walked up in person, took Chu Yiyao's hand, and said kindly, "Come, it doesn't matter if you are tired, the second aunt will take you." ”
After speaking, she quickened her pace and walked up, Chu Yiyao saw her anxious appearance, she was dragged by her and walked two steps, 'oops', she stumbled under her feet, and fell on her left knee on the stairs, as soon as Xiao let go, Chu Yiyao fell down in embarrassment.
Bao Yi hurriedly ran up, Chu Yiyao covered her knees, and her eyes were very aggrieved, "Second aunt, why did you let go." ”
The public couldn't pull her skirt to see how serious the injury was, looking at her holding her knees with tears in her eyes, Xiao Shi was standing there and walking, and he was not staying, while looking at the mountain anxiously, the more people who went up the mountain, the less chance there was.
"Mother, I'm here to accompany Sister Yiyao, you can take the eldest sister and the second sister up." Chu Miaolan spoke up first, walked to Chu Yiyao's side to help her, Chu Yiyao was stunned and refused to free her hand to help her, and before she could say no, Xiao Shi told her what she meant, "Your cousin is accompanied by a maid, you go up with your mother, and it's not easy to come here." ”
Xiao Shi pulled up Chu Miaolan and said softly to Chu Yiyao, "Yiyao, you don't want to see the scenery, I see that the view of that pavilion is very good, Bao Hui, why don't you help Miss you over, you should get cold after sitting on the ground for a long time." ”
Bao Yi helped her to the side and watched them go up, and after a while, Chu Yiyao stopped bowing her legs and stood up directly, and moved her legs, even if she had a thick cotton pad tied to her knees, it hurt just now.
"Let's go." Bao Wei helped her to a pavilion where no one was around, Chu Yiyao took down the cotton mat and put it aside, from here you can see a corner of the marriage temple on the top of the mountain, this time she didn't go with her, will they still meet the master who unsigned, if so, will the sign change.
