"This is my promise to Master when I started to apprentice." Rong Ruo said cautiously: "Master is as kind to me as a mountain, and it is not too much to repay my life, not to mention, just let me take care of my junior sister, naturally it is incumbent on me." Besides, it's not something that makes me embarrassed, if I talk about it, this matter is beneficial to the Rong family, and there is no reason not to agree. ”

The four words of grace are as heavy as a mountain, and when they are said calmly, as if they weigh a thousand catties, Chu Lingfeng can't help but be a little moved, and he still has some doubts in his heart.

Master is too good to himself.

Of course, she knew that Lin You was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, although on the surface he was cold and cold all day long, as if all the people in this world had nothing to do with him, but in fact, his heart was very soft, even if he met a sick bird and rabbit on the side of the road, he also had to take it back with his sleeve and raise it.

Such a master, he will not accept apprentices easily, but once he accepts apprentices who he thinks are qualified and characterful, he will naturally take good care of them, and it is not surprising to say that he is asked to take care of his junior sisters.

But the strange thing is that Rong Ruo's apprenticeship was several years earlier than Chu Lingfeng, he said that when the apprentice started, Lin You asked him to be good to his junior sister, could it be that at that time, Lin You already knew that he was going to have a female apprentice?

Chu Lingfeng had some strange thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't grasp the gist for a while, after all, she was not familiar with Rong Ruo now, so it was not easy to ask too many questions, so she had to suppress this doubt first.

However, after Rong Ruo nodded and cooperated, Xue Mingyang's plan went much smoother.

During the banquet, the guests and hosts had a very happy conversation, and after eating, Xue Mingyang had not only negotiated with Rong Ruo about opening a pharmacy in Linchuan, but also about opening a grain shop in Yangzhou, at this time Chu Lingfeng knew that Xue Mingyang raised his own shop to fight against the Xue family was not a matter of one or two days, but had already planned and started to do it, but because he had been under Xue Lang's nose, he had never dared to let go of his hands and feet.

In order not to let the Xue family notice, Xue Mingyang has done everything carefully over the years, except for a few cronies, he didn't dare to reveal the news, and even Xia Meixue didn't know what he was doing.

Of course, he didn't distrust his mother, but her mother hid too many secrets that he couldn't even tell, so even if he did, he didn't dare to say anything. Moreover, although there is no affection between Xia Meixue and Xue Lang, there must be something else involved, otherwise, why would the Xue family marry a daughter-in-law who has no family background, and after Xue Lang turned his face and was ruthless, why did he marry into the side room one by one but did not divorce his wife, and even his unreasonable marriage was because of his mother's insistence, no one could object.

You must know that although marriage is the fate of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, but the father's life is obviously greater than the mother's life, not to mention that the Xue family still has the old man Xue, and there is no room for Xia Meixue to speak. So what can be told to her, even Old Man Xue does not object, there must be some reason that no one knows, and it is an extraordinary reason.

After negotiating with Rong Ruo and making an appointment for the next meeting, Xue Mingyang said goodbye to Chu Lingfeng.

After all, they have just arrived in Yangzhou, and there are still many things to do, for example, Chu Lingfeng's favored house is going to be received today, no matter what, Xue Mingyang always has to take a look, even if he is not in charge, he has to see if there is anything else in the house that needs to be changed.

On the way, Chu Lingfeng thought about Xue Mingyang telling Rong Ruo that he already had some shops in his hands, and couldn't help but say: "Xianggong, how many shops do you have in your hands now, in Linchuan City, under the noses of so many Xue families, you dare to do this?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered and being skinned by the master? ”

It's not just as simple as picking the skin, maybe he will be kicked out of the house and cut off the father-son relationship.

Xue Mingyang said with a straight face: "You may not believe it, but I have been in business for many years, in Linchuan, and the surrounding dozen or so cities, all industries combined, there are about ...... More than 100 shops. ”

At this time, Chu Lingfeng was really shocked: "More than a hundred, Xianggong, you remember correctly." ”

What is the concept of more than a hundred, is it still a small fight, even if all the shops of the Xue family are combined, there may not be this number.

"Of course, the number will not be mistaken, but the scale is ......" Xue Mingyang laughed at himself: "The reason why I have more than 100 shops and have not been noticed by my family is that I have never come forward myself." Second, the scale of those shops is too small, and for the Xue family, they are like merchants who carry the burden, and they don't care about it at all. ”

The merchant who carried the burden, Chu Lingfeng pulled the corners of his mouth, and wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't laugh. She can probably understand the kind of shop Xue Mingyang said.

The kind is often based on the family unit, two husbands and wives or with a child, and then hire a guy when the situation is good, even if it is a store. A small storefront, doing business in the front and living in the back, the income of a hundred stores may not be as high as the income of a store of the Xue family, so it is not taken into account.

In addition to admiring, Chu Lingfeng also felt a little sad for Xue Mingyang, obviously he was the son of the Xue family, but his younger brother could take over the family's business from a young age, and he followed his father in the name of truth. He can only cautiously and secretly open a few small private workshops, just like this, he doesn't dare to come forward himself, and he can't be noticed by others.

Chu Lingfeng sighed softly, and then said with a straight face: "If Master Xue doesn't take you seriously, it will be the biggest mistake he will make in his life." Xue Mingsheng I met once, it can't be compared with Xianggong at all, if the Xue family falls into his hands in the future, no, the Xue family will definitely not fall into his hands, you are the century-old inheritance of the Xue family. ”

Seeing Chu Lingfeng say such an oath, Xue Mingyang's heart swelled with some warm touch, even if she was trying to comfort herself, it was the most encouraging words he had ever heard in his life. In his nearly twenty years of life, no one has ever been so sure of his efforts and trusted in his future.

"Daddy doesn't take me seriously, it's nothing." Xue Mingyang stretched out his hand to hold Chu Lingfeng's hand: "As long as you believe me, this is enough." ”

"Of course I believe you." Chu Lingfeng hooked his lips and smiled: "Moreover, I think Xue Mingsheng must not have a good lady like me." A virtuous wife and a husband have few misfortunes, this is a wise saying. ”

Xue Mingyang is also a well-connected person, but he has never seen a woman praise her virtuousness so much, she was stunned, thinking of Xue Mingfan, Yu Shanna, Xue Mingzhu, and Xue Mingsheng, who was about to be unlucky, and categorically praised: "Yes, with a good wife, all the disasters will go to other people's homes, and there will naturally be fewer husbands."
