"This ......" After seeing those words clearly, Zu An was stunned for a moment, this seems to be her housekeeper, right?

Chu Chuyan's face was slightly red, he moved his face to the other side and stopped looking at him, pretending not to care and said, "I'm just afraid that you will die in the hands of that Chen Xuan, and no one will come to treat my injuries." ”

Zu An laughed and directly put the booklet into his arms: "Such a precious thing, I naturally have to take good care of it." ”

Seeing that he was so cautious, Chu Chuyan nodded with satisfaction: "You look at it first, if there is anything you don't understand, come and ask me, after all, I have learned first, and I have more experience in this area." ”

Zu An patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, what qualifications does your husband and I have, how can there be anything I can't understand, I will definitely learn it as soon as I learn it." ”

Chu Chuyan: "......"

Isn't it very clear what your qualifications are, and you have been assigned to the yellow class by the academy.

She only thinks that the other party is a man with a good face and is unwilling to admit defeat, and she can't say anything, so she thinks in her heart that she will find a suitable opportunity to assist him in the future.

"By the way, this cheatbook is here, don't lose it. Chu Chuyan thought of this guy's temperament, and couldn't help but remind.

"What's the matter, is this book a secret of your Chu family, isn't it a bit too hasty to teach me. Zaun leaned over with a hippie smile.

Chu Chuyan shrank back, and avoided it a little unnaturally: "Don't think about it, after all, you are the uncle of the Chu family, and you are not an outsider, it makes sense to spread you, as long as you don't ...... Don't take it to teach the women outside. ”

Zu An raised his eyebrows: "Are you jealous?"

"If you're okay, I'll go first. Chu Chu turned around and left with a red face, obviously not used to talking about these things with him.

"Wait a minute," Zu An hurriedly took her hand, the smile on his face gradually receded, and Zhengse said, "The Chu family is facing such a dilemma in donating now, I don't know how much silver to donate? ”

Chu Chuyan subconsciously shook his hand, but he didn't shake it off, so he had to let him go: "You still have to keep the money for yourself, no matter how downtrod the Chu family is, it won't use your uncle's private money." ”

Zaun: "......"

Why does this sound so awkward, it is very similar to those men in ancient times in the previous life who said that no matter how difficult the family is, they will not use the woman's dowry.

Seeing his stunned appearance, Chu Chuyan thought that his self-esteem had been hurt, and hurriedly said: "Don't think about it, after all, the Chu family has a big business, and the reason why it is difficult this time is largely because the weapons industry has been hit very boldly before, which has affected part of the income." ”

"In addition, during this period of time, illegal salt was particularly rampant, resulting in the Chu family's salt not being sold, so there was a bit of a headache. ”

"Illegal salt?" Zu An was stunned, obviously not quite understanding what was going on.

Chu Chuyan explained to him: "According to the decree of the imperial court, after the salt is boiled by the salt farmers in the salt field, it is purchased by the official or its agents. ”

"It's a pity that illegal salt is cheap, and the common people are definitely willing to buy illegal salt, so it has been repeatedly banned. Coupled with the smuggling of smuggled salt, the profits are huge, and many outlaws have followed suit. ”

In the past, she never said this to others, and carried all the responsibilities on her shoulders, but now she subconsciously talked to Zu An, thinking that it was the encounter in the secret realm that made her subconsciously believe that the other party was reliable and could help her share her worries.

Zu An can't bear it

Zhu sighed: "People sell private salt so much cheaper than your official salt, and the result is still very profitable, wouldn't it be good for you to lower the price a little? ”

"It's not easy to say," Chu Chuyan sighed faintly, "Do you think we want to set the price of salt so high? The cost of official salt is much higher than that of private salt in all aspects, not to mention those who eat cards in the officialdom, as far as the salt introduction is concerned, we need to pay 1.5 taels of silver to the government for a salt introduction, and a salt introduction is only about 200 catties, and we don't know how much money we spend on salt introduction every year." ”

"And in addition, sometimes the salt introduction is not enough, and the share of the next few years needs to be advanced, and the advance of a salt introduction needs to cost an additional 2.1 taels on the basis of the previous 1.5 taels, which are the costs that the imperial court has imposed on us. ”

"There are also donations and the like, in fact, in the end, it is also spread into the cost. ”

"You can get a rough idea of how expensive the cost of official salt is. Chu Chuyan said of these such treasures, "We took back the boiled salt from the salt households, and only paid them 10 wen per catty from beginning to end, which was apportioned by various costs, and finally the price of the salt we sold per catty will fluctuate according to the situation, roughly between 100 wen and 300 wen, only in this way can we make money." ”

"And private salt doesn't need to pay those high costs, so they can sell it for twenty or thirty yuan a catty, so naturally no one comes to buy it. ”

Zu An looked at her blankly, but he didn't expect Chu Chuyan, who was as elegant as a fairy out of the dust on weekdays, to talk about these things in the business field so clearly, even to the point that every article could be accurate.

"What are you looking at me for?" Chu Chuyan also noticed his eyes, and his cheeks couldn't help but heat slightly.

Zu An gently held her hand and said affectionately: "It must have been very hard for you to manage this huge Chu family alone all these years." ”

Maybe it's because I've been seriously injured during this time, so that both physically and psychologically, have become a little more fragile than before.

Hearing the other party's words, Chu Chuyan only felt a sour heart, she hadn't told anyone about her hardships all these years.

You must know that what she likes is cultivation, but she has to focus a large part of her energy on the Chu family's business.

If it weren't for that, with her qualifications, I'm afraid that her cultivation level would have reached a higher level.

And she obviously likes to read those words since she was a child, and she likes all kinds of romantic and cute things like other little girls.

But for the sake of His majesty, she had to disguise herself with indifference and arrogance since she was a child, and over time, she didn't even know where her real self was.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. Chu Chuyan took a deep breath, stabilized her emotions, and turned her head to the side, so as not to be seen by the other party with her slightly moist eyes.

Zu An said in a deep voice: "From now on, it will be different from before, because you have me, I will help you solve these difficulties." ”

Noticing his hot eyes, Chu Chuyan suddenly felt a panic in his heart, and subconsciously pushed him away: "I'm sorry, I said too much today." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for him to answer, and ran away without looking back.

made Zu An look confused, this is a few meanings, I think I think it's a good oath, how about you give a response!

Looking at Chu Chuyan's disappearing back, Zu An touched his chin and smiled wickedly at the domineering president dramas he watched in his previous life: "Woman, you have successfully attracted the attention of this son!"

After coming out of the study, Zu An only felt his stomach rumble, and he realized it

Knowing that no one in the Chu family called him to eat.

Qin Wanru definitely didn't want to see him because of what happened just now, so naturally she wouldn't call him to eat together.

The others were angry because they saw their wife, and no one would touch their heads without a long eye at this time.

So much so that Zaun now seems to have been forgotten.

After thinking about it, he decided to go out, and since the family couldn't get enough to eat, he went outside to find some wild food.

Didn't Qiu Hongxian invite him, just went to her for a meal, and Shang Liuyu's conch was still there with her!

He asked for the invitation from Cheng Shou Bottle, and when he heard that he was going to the Immortal Residence, Cheng Shou Bottle was dumbfounded: "Uncle, just now the lady was angry, wouldn't it be good to go at this time?"

"If you don't say it, how will Madam know?" Zu An snorted, "Besides, the matter that Madame was angry about just now has been resolved, don't worry." ”

Even though he said it lightly, Cheng Shou still couldn't believe it.

"Didn't you say last time that you were going to the Immortal Residence to call you together, see how much your uncle cares for you, and go to see the world with your uncle. Zu An patted Cheng Shou on the shoulder.

Cheng Shou was so frightened that his bones fell apart: "Uncle, you should spare me, I still want to live a few more years." ”

Not to mention that if the second lady knew that he and his aunt would go to the immortal residence, how would she smoke him, let's just say that the lady had such a big fire just now because of this incident, and she no longer had the heart and lungs, and she didn't dare to touch the mold at this time.

At that time, maybe my uncle's identity is there, but he will just be reprimanded and punished;

But I'm a small guy, it's easy to be hit by the fish in the pond and dragged to the firewood room to death.

Seeing that he didn't want to be together, Zu An didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, and went out by himself.

But Jiao Shan and the three guards who were sent to protect him immediately surrounded him, and when they learned that he was going to the Immortal Residence, they dissuaded him one by one:

"Uncle, this road is too dangerous. ”

"Yes, Chen Xuan is hiding in the dark and wants to kill you, he can't do it in the academy and the Chu family, there were also a large number of guards on the way back to the Chu family from the academy before, but if you go out now, just the three of us, isn't it clear that Chen Xuan will assassinate you?"

"Yes, the three of us are okay to deal with ordinary people, but Chen Xuan is a six-grade, and he is elusive, I'm afraid I can't protect my uncle. ”

......

Hearing the bitter persuasion of several people, Zu An didn't care: "Don't worry, it's a big deal that I will protect you when the time comes." ”

After saying that, he swaggered out the door.

Jiao Shanhe: "......"

Wind Bull: "......"

Zhou Lujun: "......"

Uncle, this guy was really carried away by beauty, and he even risked such a big risk to see that autumn red tears.

What a knife on the head of the color word!

Several people were slandered, but they had to follow because of their responsibilities.

Seeing the anger values of several people received in the background one after another, Zu An didn't bother to explain.

He also thought a lot about Chen Xuan, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days.

He had already thought of a solution once and for all, and what was lacking now was to lure him out.

And now that he went to the Immortal Residence, he deliberately gave Chen Xuan a chance to assassinate him.
