Chapter Twenty-Nine: Embarrassment

"Thank you for the reminder." Chu Lingfeng smiled: "I have a sense of proportion. ”

"Yes." Xue Mingyang responded, seemed to be a little hesitant, and seemed to be a little embarrassed, the two of them ate silently, and in the middle of the sound, he suddenly added: "It is inconvenient for me to participate more in the affairs of the inner house." But if you have something very difficult, you can come to me. There are some things that you can't do, but there are ways to do them. ”

"I understand." Chu Lingfeng nodded with a straight face.

She didn't know what Xue Mingyang thought, but as far as she was concerned, the biggest reason for agreeing to the marriage with the Xue family was that she was not disgusted with Xue Mingyang, a man.

One side, although it is not love at first sight, but this man is tall and handsome, without the frivolity or arrogance of a rich child, and he is also very polite to the poor old man.

Chu Lingfeng never thought about how capable her Xiang Guild was, her requirements were very simple, a good person was enough. You don't have to be good enough to sacrifice yourself to help others, as long as you don't hurt others and have no bad intentions, and you are willing to lend a helping hand to others when you can, that's enough.

And in the face of malicious people, there is no need for good intentions. Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and Chu Lingfeng understands this better than anyone else, so when Xue Mingyang explained that it was not easy to do, and there were other ways, he couldn't help but smile thoughtfully.

She doesn't want a sanctimonious, benevolent, moral, loyal and filial husband to drag her back.

The unexpected harmony of this meal, although it is not a concubine, but at least there is no tension in the morning.

After eating, Xue Mingyang said, "By the way, there is something I want to ask you about?" ”

"What's the matter?" Chu Lingfeng was a little curious, Xue Mingyang actually had something to ask her wishes, which was strange.

"I'm going out recently." Xue Mingyang said: "You know that the Xue family's business involves many industries, and one of them is made of medicinal materials. The Xue family has many pharmacies, but there is still a blank in Yangzhou, so my father wants me to go and open the pharmacies in Yangzhou. ”

"The Xue family's pharmacy?" Chu Lingfeng thought for a while: "You mean, Heshantang?" Xianggong is going to Yangzhou to open a good church? ”

"Yes." Xue Mingyang said: "Yangzhou Linjiang is the junction of the north and the south, if Heshantang can gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou, it will be much more convenient to develop in Jiangbei in the future." Most of the Xue family's business is in Jiangnan, to be honest...... I think Jiangnan is big enough, and if it can be run well, it will be enough. It's nice to talk about, but it's actually useless. ”

Moreover, the south of the Yangtze River is rich, and the north of the Yangtze River is much poorer than the north, which means more investment and disproportionate returns, which means that there are risks, but there can be no returns proportional to the risks.

Moreover, the Xue family now has a solid foundation, and there is no need to do risky business at all.

"Why go if it's useless?" Chu Lingfeng was a little puzzled: "And I know that there is a Zhengduofang in Yangzhou, which is a local pharmacy that has been open for a hundred years, and its reputation is very good, and it has great prestige in the local area." Moreover, the behind-the-scenes boss of Zhengduofang has a close relationship with a family in the capital, which can be said to be rich and powerful, and if he wants to grab business from him, he is afraid that it will not be so easy. ”

If you want to talk about it, Chu Lingfeng doesn't understand it very well. But the things related to medicine are exactly what she is most familiar with.

Facing Chu Lingfeng's question, Xue Mingyang couldn't help but sneer: "It's not thanks to the third lady, it's not good to say in front of my father that I'm married now that I'm doing nothing, it's better to give me some business to do." It's good to practice your hands, you can always save some experience, and maybe you can make some achievements and give people a surprise. ”

Chu Lingfeng listened to this sneer, and suddenly felt that when he heard the news of Xue Mingfan's sensitive cold green cedar sprinkling today, he must have been in a very happy mood, and he repeatedly asked if he did it himself, maybe he wanted to say thank you.

"But why would my father-in-law agree?" Chu Lingfeng was a little puzzled and said, "The situation that we can analyze, my father-in-law will not know." Whether the third lady didn't know the inside story or did it intentionally, this is not surprising. The strange thing is that the father-in-law also agrees to this kind of thankless task that costs the people and money? ”

"The Xue family is rich, but in his eyes, I have nothing to do, so he doesn't pay attention to the so-called labor and money." Xue Mingyang said: "I agreed, but I tossed it, embarrassed, and others laughed at it." didn't agree, but it was the beloved third lady who cried and cried, making him uncomfortable to sleep. So in fact, he didn't need to hesitate at all, he was already able to make a decision. ”

Although Xue Mingyang's tone of voice was light, he had been accustomed to his father's lack of attention over the years, but in any case, he was still a little unwilling. It's just that this unwilling place can already be very well concealed, and now in front of Chu Lingfeng, it seems that he also feels that he is his own person, so he doesn't hide it too much.

Chu Lingfeng looked at Xue Mingyang at this moment, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy, although this Xue Dashao always had a faint and arrogant look in front of people, but that was also now. When he was a child, he probably didn't have much better life than himself.

The atmosphere of Yixi's words was a little heavy, and someone knocked lightly on the door a few times, and a young voice said in a low voice: "Young Master, there is something." ”

This voice Chu Lingfeng knew, it was an entourage who often followed Xue Mingyang, and it was probably his cronies.

Xue Mingyang responded to the call outside, stood up, and said, "Okay, I still have something to go out in the afternoon." What I said just now, you think about it, you will leave in about three or four days, if you want, pack some things, take the maid, and go with me. If you are afraid of hard work, just stay at home, I may not come back when I go, but I will regularly ask people to bring back letters, if you have any problems, you can also ask someone to send me a letter. ”

Chu Lingfeng was stunned for a moment, and said without hesitation: "I naturally want to go." Although I don't know anything about business, I have some understanding of medical techniques and medicinal materials, and maybe I can help the prime minister. ”

Chu Lingfeng can be said to be free and accustomed to it, and he can naturally survive in Xue Mansion, but he will inevitably be aggrieved. Now that she can go out, even if she follows Xue Mingyang, she is willing. Moreover, this trip is said to be an exercise, it is better to say that it is difficult, if it is possible, Chu Lingfeng also wants to help.

In the gate of the mansion, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind, Xue Mingyang's trip is destined to be a futile in the eyes of everyone, and it will only increase the laughing stock, but if there is really a gain, it will be different.
