Chapter 168: A Void
Xue Mingyang was a little confused: "Let Brother Rong give a gift, why?" ”
"Shouldn't he give gifts when you set up a new mansion?" Chu Lingfeng was even more strange: "Isn't it natural?" Of course, I wouldn't tell him directly that you were going to give a gift, that would be rude, but I just asked someone to inform him, and he must have understood. ”
Xue Mingyang listened to Chu Lingfeng's words, and he couldn't cry or laugh: "I didn't mean that, I should give a gift, and Brother Rong naturally won't be so stingy." It's just that it's getting dark, so there's no need to be so anxious. ”
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm trying to put you at ease." Chu Lingfeng smiled: "Okay, I didn't sleep well last night, and today I'm tired for another day, close my eyes and rest for a while." You'll know in a moment, guaranteed to be in a shock, sweeter than drinking a bowl of sugar water. ”
Looking at Chu Lingfeng's somewhat sly smile, although Xue Mingyang was curious, he really relaxed in his heart. He is used to his own lady giving him a little surprise from time to time, and sometimes, it is more than a little surprise, and he can look forward to it.
The new mansion is not far from Xuexue Mansion, and it is also in the center of Linchuan City, but it is much smaller, and there is only a courtyard of three entrances. Fortunately, the yard is small, but it is well furnished and everything is complete. Originally, because no one lived, there were no daily necessities, but at noon, Xue Mingyang had already sent someone to come over first, so at this time, everything had been packed up, and there was nothing missing.
Rong Ruo's movements were very fast, and when Xue Mingyang and Chu Lingfeng entered the new mansion, bathed, changed clothes, ate, and rested for a while, they listened to the next person's report.
Rong Ruogongzi, the owner of Zhengduofang, sent a congratulatory gift, saying that it was too late today and would come to congratulate him tomorrow.
It was so late, so the congratulatory gift was sent to the list, and the things were sent directly to the warehouse and locked. But looking at the expression on Chu Lingfeng's face, Xue Mingyang still said, "Ask someone to bring it in." ”
The little guy responded yes, first handed over the gift list, and then went out and ordered someone to send the box in.
Xue Mingyang took the gift list and looked at it first, his expression was a little stiff, what celadon vase was written on the gift list. The pair of dragons and phoenixes are all things that look normal and congratulate people on their housewarming, and there is nothing unusual about them. It's also not very valuable.
"What did Brother Rong send these things for?" Xue Mingyang had a puzzled face, stopped for most of the time, and saw Chu Lingfeng on the other side holding his chin with both hands, smiling and wilting, and suddenly felt that she must be prepared for what she had done. This list must not be so simple.
The box was quickly brought in, and with the box were Rong Ruo's cronies. Xue Mingyang was a little surprised, because he knew that this person was Rong Ruo's personal entourage, and he had some skills, if it wasn't for something important, he wouldn't have asked him to do it.
And such a gift list is obviously not enough for him to run, and he followed in, obviously. It was Rong Ruo who ordered that the box must be delivered to him in person. Of course, it can also be sent to Chu Lingfeng.
Although Xue Mingyang was confused, he still said a few kind words as usual, and asked him to thank Rong Ruo and let him send him out.
The little guy walked forward, and Chu Lingfeng closed the door and closed the window closely, and then said with a radiant face: "Come and see the gift given by Rong Ruo." ”
Money is inherently inherently inspiring, and the difference in the amount of money needed for different effects on different people is just the amount required.
Although Xue Mingyang has not been taken seriously since he was a child. But he was born in a rich family, so a little money is naturally not eye-catching, and he doesn't care about 180,000 yuan. Therefore, he looked at Chu Lingfeng's expression, and was a little curious about what was in this box, it couldn't be a box of gold, it couldn't be so light. What's more, no matter how rich Rong is, it is impossible to send a box of gold to himself, so what's going on.
In the midst of all kinds of doubts. Xue Mingyang opened the box, and then the whole person froze.
At the beginning, this box was packed by Chu Lingfeng and Yang Guan in the warehouse, and it was orderly at that time, with silver tickets spread underneath, and neatly placed layer by layer on top.
But Rong Ruo opened it once, and after looking at it once, he cleaned it up again, but he was not so patient, first the big one was put in, then the small one was stuffed into the big gap, and then a bunch of silver tickets were stuffed into it. There are stacks of them, some rolled into balls, some folded into strips, which are completely used as fillers, and they are miserable.
And a box was taken out, obviously a box could not be stuffed again, so it was very reluctant, and when the box was opened, the suppressed silver ticket inside seemed to be released, and it fell to the ground with a bang.
Chu Lingfeng twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Senior brother should really get married, I have to find a sister-in-law to train him well, and look at the stuff...... It's ugly, and I'm not afraid to squeeze bad things. ”
Xue Mingyang was speechless, first grabbed a few silver tickets in his hand and looked at them, and then took out a few random pieces from them, he was able to be sure at this time that this could not be a congratulatory gift from Rong Ruo, Rong Ruo is rich, no matter how distressed Chu Lingfeng is, the junior sister, he will not be bankrupt to give gifts, not to mention, he is a little suspicious, even if Rong Ruo is bankrupt to give gifts, he may not be able to give so much.
Chu Lingfeng took a small horse and sat on the edge of the box, picking up the silver tickets one by one, flattening them, and stacking them neatly, while complaining that Rong Ruo was too unparticular and had nothing to do with them.
When Xue Mingyang took out a scroll of ancient celebrity calligraphy and paintings from the box, he finally couldn't help but say, "These things were taken from my house?" ”
Although there was no name on the silver ticket, and he had never seen most of the things, he knew that the calligraphy and painting was bought at a high price by Xue Qiankun when he was young, and it was a beautiful talk at that time, and many people knew it, so it couldn't be faked.
"Guess it, come, reward you." Chu Lingfeng stuffed a silver ticket into Xue Mingyang's hand, and said with a smug smile: "How about it, I didn't expect it, don't look at this little box, almost all the most valuable things in your storehouse are here." There is also a silver ticket, a million taels of silver, a lot of money. I've been busy all morning today, if it weren't for the silver being too heavy and eye-catching, I wouldn't have left it to Xue Mingsheng. ”
In fact, there is really not much silver, looking at the dazzling Minghuang, in fact, it is only tens of thousands of taels together, and when he left, Xue Mingyang also took five thousand taels, and the rest for Xue Mingsheng was really not much.
Everything may be fake, but the silver tickets full of the sky in front of him will not be fake, Xue Mingyang remembered the shaking hand and subtle expression when Mrs. Xue saw the account book in the warehouse today, and suddenly understood a little, and then didn't say anything.
Chu Lingfeng didn't tell anyone. Secretly emptied the Xue family's treasury, and then the old lady found out about the problem in the account book, but she didn't say anything and acquiesced to this behavior.
Seeing Xue Mingyang silent. Chu Lingfeng said: "Don't worry, as long as the old lady doesn't say it, no one will know about this silver." And the old lady has acquiesced now, and she will not change her words. Lest both sides be offended, even if we change our words, it will be too late, as long as we die and do not admit it, she has no evidence. As for Xue Mingsheng's side, he had never touched the account book before, so he didn't know what was on it, even if he knew that something was wrong, he didn't know what was wrong, and I drew the account book very cleanly. But everything that was taken away was painted with ink, and it was left in a black mess, and even the king of heaven could not find out. ”
It's pitch black, it's pitch black, Xue Mingyang thought about it, really, he was standing beside Mrs. Xue at that time, although he didn't look carefully, but he also glanced twice, and there were indeed many places on the ledger where there were black ink blocks. At that time, I didn't think much about it, I just felt that my father was a little unparticular about making accounts, but now I heard Chu Lingfeng say that she was blackened. And those things that were blacked out are now in front of him.
Xue Mingyang's mood today was very complicated, since he learned the news of Xue Lang's rush to Jingshan in the Chu family, he felt that there must be something strange in it, so he followed it in a hurry.
But the result was still a step too late, and when the time came. got the news of his father's death, and before he died, he handed over all the affairs of the family to Xue Mingsheng's decision.
Xue Mingyang didn't see Xue Lang for the last time, but he knew that it was impossible for Xue Lang to make this decision, and all this must be Xue Mingsheng's troublemaker. Of course, it is unlikely that he could buy off a cadre of officials from the Yamen, so he can only say that he thought of some way to deceive everyone together.
But no matter what the method is, now that he has all the evidence, he can't reverse it for a while, so he doesn't make senseless struggles, as if he can't bear that little bit of family business.
Go, you have to go chic, no matter how unwilling you are in your heart, no matter how hateful you are when you look at Xue Mingsheng's smug smile.
And Xue Lang is his father after all, not close, not so heartbroken, but he still feels it.
At this time, Xue Mingyang, who had been busy for a day and was tired in the middle of the night, suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally in front of this box full of gold, silver and jewelry.
When he saw that the warehouse was empty, except for some bulky guys, he couldn't even find a silver ticket, and the person who jumped his feet collapsed should be Xue Mingsheng.
Xue Mingyang closed his eyes, and suddenly stretched out his arms to hug Chu Lingfeng: "Lingfeng, thank you." ”
Chu Lingfeng smiled and smoothed Xue Mingyang's hair: "Thank me, we are husband and wife, we are one, of course I think about you." Although the Xue family has a lot of money, it is also the hard-earned money saved by several generations, should it be kept for Xue Mingsheng to spoil? I don't think there will be much cash in the store, but it adds up to a lot of money, and I think we need to get all the money back as soon as possible. Didn't Xue Mingsheng plan to inherit the family business, give him an empty Xue family, and see if he can support it until the time. ”
The Xue family is rich, and the Xue family earns a lot, but with such a big house and so many people, the expenses are also amazing, and there is no silver like flowing water to fill it, and those ladies and ladies who are like flowers and jade can't maintain a luxurious and comfortable life, and they will soon fall out.
And now that the guaranteed money of the treasury has been taken by Chu Lingfeng, if the outside business is difficult again, it will be a matter of the moment, and the Xue family will be in trouble.
Xue Mingsheng felt that inheriting the family business was to get gold and silver, and when the entire Xue Mansion was waiting for him to eat and pay his salary, and everyone followed his ass to ask him for money, he knew that without diamond diamonds, he should not take on porcelain work.
The night was low, and the Xue couple, who were originally kicked out of the house on the day of their father's death, should have been depressed, but after packing up the silver tickets in the place, they went to bed in a peaceful mood.
Even if he is driven out, Xue Mingyang is still the sister-in-law of the Xue family, and his name is justified, although this mansion is small, but no one can say a word when it hangs the door number of the Xue Mansion.
After a good night's sleep, on the second day, Xue Mingyang began to start his own business, justifiably and without concealing it at all, Zhang Luo opened more than a dozen of his small shops in Linchuan.
There are more than a dozen small stores, the industry is all-encompassing, the variety is complete, the selling of dim sum sells rice and grain, the seller sells cloth, sells water, sells needlework and sells shoes and socks......
No matter what these stores sell, they all have a common feature, which is greatly marked in a conspicuous place, but if you consume in this store, you will go to Zhengduofang to sell medicine and consult at half price. If you take the medicine house in Zhengduofang to buy things, you will also have preferential gifts.
And when the merchants in the city knew that Xue Mingyang was the boss behind these stores, Xue Mingsheng also knew the news that made him angry, and under the notice of his subordinates, he hurriedly ran to the door of Zhengduofang and blocked Xue Mingyang, who had just gone out.
Xue Mingyang looked at Xue Mingsheng's expression today, which was a little different from the past, those contempt and disdain were no longer concealed at all, and the ** naked expression was revealed.
In the past, he had to pretend to be a brother and a friend, but now, with him leaving the Xue Mansion, this last bit of relationship has been completely broken.
"What is Xue Ershao looking for me?" Xue Mingyang shook the fan in his hand, since Chu Lingfeng had conditioned him every day, although the root of the disease had not been eradicated, his body was much better, not to mention that he no longer had to worry about who pretended to be weak, just like a handsome boy.
Xue Mingsheng gritted his teeth and said: "I was in the mansion just now, and I heard a piece of news about the eldest brother, I thought it was a little incredible, someone must be slandering the eldest brother, so I came to take a look." ”
Xue Mingsheng is now in power, although he is invincible in the mansion, he still has some scruples outside. The reputation is not good, and the father will drive his brother out when he dies, how ugly this is.
"You mean the dozen or so stores?" Xue Mingyang narrowed his eyes and said unambiguously: "This is not a rumor, that's right, these dozen or so shops are mine, but they originally belonged to Brother Rong, and I just bought them from Brother Rong." In the future, we will live in peace with Zhengduofang, make money together, and do business together. ”
With that, Rong Ruo came out of the door and said to Xue Mingyang: "Fortunately, you haven't left yet, I forgot this." This is the best new tea in the snow mountain, there is no sale on the market, it is a tribute for the queen, it is specially told by my father, I must take you back to taste it. ”
Xue Mingyang owed a debt and said with a smile: "Then thank you Uncle Rong, when I have time, I will definitely go to thank my uncle in person." ”
This is the real brother and brother, Xue Mingsheng looked at Rong Ruo, who didn't bother to look at him, and Xue Mingyang had such an intimate conversation, he couldn't wait to stab him to death with his eyes. (To be continued.) )
