After leaving the teahouse, Xiao Chushu's heart couldn't tell whether it was loose or tight, and the sedan chair was quiet, because through a layer of curtain, Xiang Zhu couldn't see the eldest lady's face at the moment, so he quietly followed the sedan chair towards Xiao's house. Pen~Fun~ Pavilion www.biquge.info what is the mood of the eldest lady, I can't see it, but Tang shopkeeper is there, and Xiangzhu is clear.

As the shopkeeper of the Xiao family's teahouse, although this matter of swallowing silver was not done by him, it has nothing to do with him. The nephew of the shopkeeper Tang admitted that this matter was also cleared, and since the matter was cleared, the Xiao family teahouse naturally couldn't keep these two people.

The shopkeeper of Tang is not a businessman, and it is a blessing that he has not destroyed the Xiao family's teahouse over the years. This person Xiao Chusu had already made up his mind to replace him, but he had been in the Xiao family for a long time, and if there was no legitimate reason, it didn't mean that he could be replaced. happened to borrow his nephew this time, and it was justified to invite this person out.

After doing such a thing, it was already a blessing not to turn them over to the official office, and as for Xiao Chusu's request for them to hand over the management of the teahouse, they didn't have the face to continue to stay in the teahouse without Xiao Chusu's mouth.

After leaving the teahouse and returning to Xiao's house, he got off the sedan chair and entered the house, and Xiang Zhu asked, "Miss, what about the shopkeeper Tang and his nephew?" So it's over? ”

"Isn't it? What do you think? ”

"How? Xiangzhu is a maidservant, how do you know how. It's just that the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang is really bold, and he has embezzled so much silver, which is really shocking. ”

Now that the matter has been defeated, it is natural that the silver and silver that were previously greedy must be spit out. Two or three percent, just sounding like a lot, but when the nephew accurately reported the number, it made people feel shocked. A little shopkeeper's nephew, but after a few years of hard work, he dared to blatantly deceive so much silver. Now that he just spit out the silver taels and swept the floor out, Xiang Zhu always felt that Xiao Chu was stunned.

When encountering such a malicious master, even if he does not send it to the official office, he will have to teach a good lesson to relieve his anger. Xiang Zhu thought so, but he relied on training people to vent his sullen heart, in addition to being happy to be ruthless to his brother, Xiao Chusu, who was not so idle, looked at Xiang Zhu, Xiao Chusu said.

"It's angry, what should I do, this silver has been spit out, is it possible to really twist people to the official office. Be forgiving and forgiving, and don't push too hard. This greed is human nature, and the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang will have such bad thoughts, and if I want to say it, it is also human nature. Although his greed for the silver is a little blatant, he still has a little conscience, and he didn't tear up all his face, and obediently spit out all the silver and money he greedily obtained, which also saves us a lot of thoughts. ”

I still wanted to force this nephew to spit out the truth, but I was afraid that it would take a little thought, but I didn't scare a few words, but the person did it truthfully. I don't know if this person is too good a thief or a coward, but if he is not as good as one of them, he has to save Xiao Chusu's thoughts. Not only did he save some thoughts, but he even found another omission because of this person.

Thinking that there might be a deeper greed hidden behind Tang's shopkeeper's nephew, Xiao Chusu's face couldn't help but drop, and his sinking face was suppressed even by his voice, Xiao Chusu said: "Besides, it's also because of him this time that we know that there is a deeper greasy behind him, and he can be regarded as atoning for his sins." ”

"It's bigger and it's greasy, Miss means, the branch in the far continent."

"Exactly." Nodding his head and smiling, Xiao Chu said: "The emperor of the mountain is far away, and he will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, not to mention that we are just small traders, of course, the people below are even more thoughtful." Everyone around me can't help but make some small movements, not to mention the branch that is far away in the far continent. You said that if you were to be in such a place that is thousands of miles away and no one will come once a year, there is still a tempting jar of sesame oil by your side, and no one looks at it, no one cares, and no one even asks. You gluttonous rat, you might be able to control your own claws? ”

The gluttonous mouse, the shopkeeper of the Yuanzhou branch is this gluttonous mouse, and the tempting sesame oil is the tea field in Yuanzhou. There is no one to take care of this tea field at hand, unless it is a person who is righteous and honest, otherwise there are a few people who can control their own hands.

Xiao Chu was stunned, Xiang Zhu understood, immediately nodded, and said: "In this way, I also owe this nephew of the Tang shopkeeper, if it weren't for what he said, the eldest lady really wouldn't have thought that the place in Yuanzhou had made a move a long time ago." ”

"Yes, such a jar of sesame oil, how can it not attract rats. If I am the closest mouse to sesame oil, how can I be willing to take a few more sips. ”

"So the eldest lady thinks that although the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang is greedy, he may not be as greedy as the head of the Yuanzhou branch?"

"Looking at it now, I'm afraid it's so." Ying Hou saw Xiang Zhu nodded and said, "That is the case, the eldest lady feels that the head of the branch has swallowed how many silver taels?" ”

"It's hard to say how many taels of silver there is, but I'm a little worried about it."

"Worried, Miss, what's worried?"

"The one who worries about the Lord will be coveted far more than we guess."

What kind of person is the head of the Yuanzhou branch, she has never seen it, nor has the shopkeeper Tang, only the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang meets once or twice a year. Although it is not a deep friendship, it is considered to have met in general, and when he suspects that the head of this branch may be involved in the matter, Xiao Chu should ask what kind of person this is from his nephew.

Regarding the main things that have only been seen once or twice this year, the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang can't say a rough idea, but this unclear general situation makes Xiao Chu's heart condense.

This branch owner, I am afraid that he is not a good person, and the tea shop in the far continent is in his hands. If it's just shallow greed, it's fine, but if it's hollowed out to accumulate wealth. I am afraid that the upper and lower levels will be deceived, the lower will be oppressed, and the upper will be greedy.

If a person is so greedy that he has no heart, he can do anything. For this trip to Yuanzhou, Xiao Chuxuan added a little contemplation and urgency in his heart. Now that the spring tea is on the market, this new tea should also be picked quickly, and after sitting there and thinking for a long time, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"Xiangzhu, call Uncle Lian over for me."

"Yes!"

retreated, called Uncle Lian, and when the manager arrived in the study, Xiao Chuxuan instructed him to buy the things he needed for his trip to Yuanzhou. On the trip to Yuanzhou, it seems that this time the eldest lady of spring tea procurement plans to handle it personally. Since the eldest lady took over the Xiao family, she has not taken care of the Xiao family's business, and she has not bothered to take care of the business in this family, let alone outside.

So in Kyoto, Xiao Chusu has never left once, and this time I heard that Xiao Chusu was going to go to Yuanzhou to choose new tea in person, and Uncle Lian was surprised. Even though the current eldest lady is no longer as flexible as she used to be, he is still worried about leaving Kyoto. Looking at Xiao Chusu, Uncle Lian said, "Miss, are you going to go to Yuanzhou to pick new tea in person?" ”

"Yes."

"This far-away continent is far away from Kyoto, the road is far away, the road is bumpy, how can the young lady's daughter endure such hard work. These tiring things, Miss should leave them to the people below, but don't tire yourself. "This young lady and young master are Uncle Lian's size, and when he sees the big one, his heart naturally hurts, and now he hears that Xiao Chusu plans to go to Yuanzhou in person, and when he thinks about the bumps on the road, he can't help but start worrying.

Uncle Lian's worries, Xiao Chusu took it to heart, and even with a smile in his eyes, Xiao Chusu said: "Uncle Lian, don't worry, Chu Chu is not as delicate as Uncle Lian thought." Besides, it is because these things are always handed over to the people below to do, and I still don't know everything, that is why people have been deceived for so long and have been deceived so much. Now that I am the head of the Xiao family, I want to regain my father's former career, how can this hard work be unbearable. ”

"But ......"

"Uncle Lian feels sorry for Chu Su, Chu Su understands in his heart, but Uncle Lian has also been with his father, and he should know that there are some things that can't just rely on the people below. Our superiors, if we have to be helped by others to run errands in everything, don't say that many things are not clear in the end, it is the people at the bottom, and few people are willing to accept it after a long time. ”

"How can the people at this bottom disobey Miss?" Hearing Xiao Chusu's words, Uncle Lian felt angry, but this anger made Xiao Chusu smile. Looking at Uncle Lian, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"Chu Su and those bastard boys, they all grew up under Uncle Lian's watch, and now that his father is gone, for Chu Su, Uncle Lian is Chu Su's elder. There are no details in this family, and Chu Su has never hidden Uncle Lian, so Uncle Lian should also be clear about the cloth workshop and the tea workshop. The shopkeeper Sun of the cloth workshop is a nostalgic person, so he has never harmed the Xiao family. But the teahouse, if you want to come to this matter, Uncle Lian should also hear about it. ”

"I heard Zhu'er say it."

"Since I heard Xiang Zhu mention it, then Uncle Lian should also know what he meant by what he said. The tea shop is not only the shopkeeper in Kyoto, but also in the Yuanzhou branch, but there is also a director. Although it was a personal appointment, but in the past five or six years, who knows the principal of this personal appointment, but he still remembers who he was hired for and who he should do things for. The cost of the tea shop has risen year by year, and Chu Su always feels that there is an inseparable connection with this principal. Every year, he sends his subordinates to do it, Chu Su is not suspicious of anyone, but in the past few years, he always feels that there are some things, and we still have to go to investigate in person, so that I can live in peace. ”

Far away, even if you really put some thought into it, even if it is put on the table, no one can care. Xiao Chu's words have already been said to this point, no matter how much Uncle Lian cherishes it in his heart, he can't say anything more, so he can only look at his eldest lady and say.

"Miss, Uncle Lian understands."

"Since I understand, what is needed for the trip to Yuanzhou, I will bother Uncle Lian."

"I'll leave this matter to Uncle Lian, but it's ......"

"But what?" This sudden "but" made Xiao Chu stunned, looking at Uncle Lian who was sighing softly, Xiao Chu asked.

After asking, Uncle Lian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I just feel that the temperament of the eldest lady is becoming more and more like the master, once the matter is decided, the eight horses will not be able to pull it back." The eldest lady is now the master who can take ideas, so Uncle Lian will do everything that the eldest lady commands. It's just that this time when she left Jingyuanzhou, the eldest lady had to bring Xiangzhu and Firefly, and there were these two girls waiting by her side, so that Uncle Lian could live in peace. ”

Sure enough, I was still worried in my heart, but fortunately, it was better to let her take the two of them than to make a big reason, and immediately responded with a smile, Xiao Chuxuan said: "Uncle Lian, I know, I will bring these two girls." If you don't bring these two girls, who will take care of my usual food, clothing, housing and transportation, Miss? You don't have to do it all yourself. ”

Only the eldest lady after this soul will occasionally use this coquettish tone to amuse herself, but the eldest lady is helpless, and sighs Uncle Lian is planning to leave to buy things that are needed for a trip to Yuanzhou. Who knew that the talent had just moved, and before he could take a few steps outside, he called Xiao Chu to stop.

"By the way, Uncle Lian, I still have something to tell you."

"What else does the eldest lady command?" Hurriedly stopped, then looked at Xiao Chusu, and listened to her say: "On this trip to Yuanzhou, I always think that I should also bring one or two bastard boys, so that they can do their jobs as much as possible, and don't be lazy at home all day long. So when Uncle Lian was preparing, he prepared the bags of Chu Heng and Chu Rui. Oh, by the way, there is also Ning'er's, this time I leave Beijing, I will lead Ning'er on a trip to Cangteng, this should be prepared, Uncle Lian don't forget. ”

Cang Teng, the one who almost made his little master angry, didn't go to Cang Teng to ask for an explanation, and the eldest lady actually had to lead the little young master on a trip to Cang Teng, and she also had to practice Uncle Lian to prepare a courtesy. What kind of calculation did the eldest lady have in her heart, Xiang Zhu was confused. When the pestle was on the side, looking at his own young lady, Xiang Zhu said.

"Miss, the little young master is angry with Cangteng, how could Miss think of taking the little young master back to Cangteng, and also ask my father to prepare a courtesy. Miss, you will add to the trouble for the little master. ”

"Block, even if it really adds blockage, our Xiao family is also everyone, and we shouldn't forget the etiquette we should have. Indeed, this Cangteng played Ning'er, but no matter what, he has been Ning'er's master for a few years. This day is the principle of a teacher and a father for life, and we must not forget it. Even if you complain in your heart, you won't be too lazy to go in the future, and you still have to prepare for the visit. Uncle Lian, this bright courtesy, I bothered Uncle Lian, as for this secret, I have my own opinions. ”

The words in the front were atmospheric, but the second half of the sentence was obviously ambiguous.

Xiang Zhu knew that his eldest lady was not the kind of person who could suffer losses, and she was not a master who could suffer losses, not to mention that this time it was the little young master, and it was considered the eldest lady's generosity if she didn't turn Cang Teng's personal back, how could she really prepare a big gift. Immediately, he was happy in his heart, and even with a smile on his face, Xiang Zhu knew but didn't know. And Uncle Lian on the other side obviously understood what the eldest lady meant, shook his voice softly, and finally said.

"Since the eldest lady asked Uncle Lian to prepare a gift on the surface, then Uncle Lian will go down to buy it."

"It's been a hard job, oh, yes. Uncle Lian, during the days when I was away, I had to worry about the family and business matters. ”

"What Miss said, Uncle Lian took the family's affairs to heart. As for this business matter, isn't there a big young master in this mansion, I think the big young master will handle it properly. ”

He is just an old slave of the Xiao Mansion, how can he be more intubated in business, so Xiao Chujie said that, the first thing he thought of was Xiao Chujie who was still at home. The eldest young master is still there, and it is not easy for him to interfere in this matter, but for Xiao Chuxuan, it is because the eldest young master is in the Xiao family, so she asked Uncle Lian to worry more about the affairs of the Xiao family.

Just after Uncle Lian's words, the corners of Xiao Chu's lips twitched a little, and after a few strokes, even his complexion changed. After some contemplation, Xiao Chu said: "Young Master, what does Uncle Lian mean by letting me lose my family's business to Chu Jie?" ”

"The eldest young master is in the mansion, so it should be."

"That's right, but has Uncle Lian ever thought that if it really is all lost to Chu Jie, when we come back, will the Xiao family even press the title deed in Tongji Gambling House?"

He really forgot about this possibility, because of the words, and the color changed later, Uncle Lian simply remained silent.

Xiao Chujie.

The eldest son of the Xiao family is now pressed by the eldest lady, so he didn't dare to move, but if the eldest lady leaves, no one can take care of it, who knows if the entire Xiao family will be hollowed out.

This kind of completely possible thing is more appropriate to stifle it in advance, and Uncle Lian immediately didn't say anything stupid about handing over the family business to the eldest young master. Just bowed and reassured the eldest lady, and then turned around and left the study to put the things that Miss Enlarged needed to go south.
