"Losing money?" Chu Lingfeng felt a little incredible: "Moreover, you have been losing money and raising it for decades?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Yang Guan hesitated a little and said: "Because the Zhuangzi is not big, it has always been in the hands of Old Lady Xue herself, and it has nothing to do with Xue Mingsheng, so I just checked it roughly, and then I didn't pay attention to it." However, the Zhuangzi seems to be no different from the Zhuangzi next to him, growing vegetables and raising chickens, and raising some livestock, and there is no harvest because the people in the Zhuangzi are too lazy. ”

Chu Lingfeng snorted: "There must be a problem." Although I haven't spoken to Old Lady Xue, I know a little about this person, and I can't say that he is stingy, but he is very shrewd. Even if the steward in Zhuangzi is kind to him, he will not let them lose money for decades, and there are many ways to repay his kindness, and he can be raised by an idle errand, and there is no need to match a Zhuangzi's interest. ”

"That makes sense." Yang Guan also felt a little weird at this time: "Then when I tell my son, I will check this place again." ”

"Yes." Chu Lingfeng didn't plan to wait for Xue Mingyang to return to do things, but he didn't need to say this to Yang Guan, answered, and retracted into the carriage.

Although Xue Mingyang's subordinates are available, they specialize in the art industry, and Chu Lingfeng doesn't plan to tell him too much detail. For one, he may not be able to give himself any useful advice. Second, after all, he is not very familiar, although Chu Lingfeng believes that Xue Mingyang's people have no problem, he will not trust him too much.

After a night of hurrying, they finally entered the gate of Linchuan in the early hours of the morning, and the official guarding the door asked as usual, and let them in, but did not let them open the door to see.

Usually the people sitting in this kind of carriage are female dependents and elders, and the elders are just women, female dependents or something, some families are very taboo to see foreign men, so the soldiers on guard are generally not willing to cause trouble, so as not to cause trouble.

Although there are no big officials in Linchuan, there are many wealthy businessmen, and they are inextricably linked with officials and even the imperial court.

After entering the city, he went straight to Zhengduofang, which had not yet opened at this time and closed the door. Chu Lingfeng knew that there was a small door in the alley on the side of the main entrance, so he got out of the carriage, only letting Yang Guan and the others follow, and took Xiao Tian inside.

Although it was still early in the morning, the alley was already a little early, and the shops were busy preparing to open the door, and the bun fritters were steaming. Although Chu Lingfeng knew that she was not a celebrity, she was still afraid of being seen, she left her husband and private to return to Linchuan like this, and when she came back, she did not go back to Xue's house but went to Zhengduofang to find Rong Ruo, if this was known, it would be terrible.

Chu Lingfeng hurriedly walked in with a veil, and when he arrived at the back door of Zhengduofang, he saw that the door had opened, so he walked over.

The little guy at the door was startled, they had just arrived, and the master didn't go out much, and no one had ever come to look for him so early. And this is the back door, very few people know about it, and it leads directly to Rong Ruo's residence.

"Miss." The little guy hesitated: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Although Chu Lingfeng was veiled, he was followed by the maid and the two entourages who looked very imposing, and the little guy shrunk his neck, shouldn't it be that his young master caused some romantic debts somewhere. Otherwise, there will be a young lady who will come to look for her early in the morning.

"Is Gongzi Rong here?" Chu Lingfeng got straight to the point and said: "I have something urgent to find him, I am his junior sister." ”

Sister? The little girl was stunned, and then said, "Miss, please come with me, I'll call the young master." ”

Although the little guy didn't know Chu Lingfeng, he knew that Rong Ruo had a junior sister. also roughly knew that Rong Ruo was at the moment of life and death, and he was able to escape by chance when he met a famous teacher. Then this junior sister must also be the apprentice of a famous teacher, and she must not be an ordinary person.

Chu Lingfeng was afraid of being seen, so he immediately dodged into the courtyard, and Yang Guan followed behind and closed the door.

This is the backyard of Zhengduofang, not big, only Rong Ruo alone with a few small houses to live, and it is not a permanent residence, so it is exquisite, but it is not too complicated.

The little guy was in too much of a hurry to pour tea for Chu Lingfeng, but Chu Lingfeng just walked into the courtyard, and the door in the middle opened, and Rong Ruo strode out. At first glance, it looks like I have just gotten up, and although my clothes are neatly dressed, my hair is still a little messy.

Chu Lingfeng appeared alone in his courtyard at this time, which was obviously a big incident. Rong Ruo's first thought was to quarrel with Xue Mingyang, or, what did the Xue family do to her, this is a super short-term person, although he has only a nominal brother and sister relationship with Chu Lingfeng, but he is an only son and has no brothers and sisters, think about it, one day as a teacher and a father for life, in this generation, only this junior sister has the closest relationship with him.

What's more, taking care of his junior sister is something he personally promised Lin You, and Chu Lingfeng's own maiden family is that unassuming, if he really quarrels with Xue Mingyang and has any contradictions, he will not stand up for her at all. You have to do it yourself.

Chu Lingfeng took off his veil when he entered the courtyard, Rong Ruo first looked up and down, and saw that her spirit was okay and there was no injury, so he breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Chu Lingfeng didn't know what he thought, otherwise, he would definitely have to laugh at him a few words.

"What's going on?" Rong Ruo said at this time: "Why did you come to me at this time, Xue Mingyang?" ”

"Xianggong is in Yangzhou, I came alone, I found something and want to ask my senior brother." Chu Lingfeng looked around: "Enter the house and say." ”

Chu Lingfeng's expression was very serious, besides, she would come alone in the starry night, which showed that this matter was really not trivial. Rong Ruo immediately asked the little maid to lock the courtyard door and said, "Follow me." ”

This courtyard is not big, Rong Ruo usually sees guests to discuss something, and it is also in Zhengduofang, so in addition to his bedroom, there is only a small study.

Chu Lingfeng followed behind Rong Ruo, and when he arrived at the door of the study, he turned his head and asked Xiao Tian to wait outside. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Yang Guan and the others, and said, "The two eldest brothers have worked hard, so let's take a rest first." Senior brother, we came from Yangzhou, and we traveled all night last night, can you arrange a place for them to rest? ”

Rong Ruo looked at the two of them following behind Chu Lingfeng, and naturally knew that they were sent by Xue Mingyang to protect her, and was about to agree, but she heard Yang Guan say: "Madam, we are not tired, the young master instructed us to protect us closely." Therefore, the lady cannot be allowed to enter the study alone. (To be continued.) )
