Chapter 161: You Come and I Go
Yang Guan didn't know the news that Xue Mingyang had gone to Jingshan, and he was a little surprised that he didn't see him after coming in. couldn't help but say, "Young lady, where is the young master?" ”
"I've gone to Mirror Mountain." Chu Lingfeng said simply, and said first: "When you come back at this time, did you hear any news?" ”
"Yes." Although Yang Guan was curious about why Xue Mingyang would go to Jingshan at this time, he obviously regarded Chu Lingfeng as the master of the Eight Classics at this time, and without asking about his doubts, he said first: "Yes, I waited on the roof of the utility room for half the night, and sure enough, I saw Li Shuhua coming." She brought some snacks and the like, and said to the guard that it was a master and servant, and she came to bring her something to eat, said a few goodbyes, and asked Xing'er if there were any wishes that had not been fulfilled, and then let the guard stand outside the courtyard and enter the room by herself. ”
"That's a liar." Chu Lingfeng said without hesitation: "I know this person too well, and he is the most sensible person to protect himself." If you want to say that it is valuable to yourself, then maybe it will take a little effort. Like Xing'er, who is almost impossible to save, she must have immediately cleared up the relationship, and she can't wait to hide as far as she can. And bring a snack to see it for yourself, which is absolutely impossible. ”
Taking a step back, even if she really feels sorry for Xing'er, the relationship between the two is so good, at most she will send a girl to send some food, even if it is benevolent and righteous. Coming in person in the middle of the night is simply incredible.
Yang Guan said: "Madame guessed well, I listened in the house, and sure enough, as soon as Li Shuhua entered and closed the door, I heard Xing'er say, you must save me, if I can't live, I will shake out all the previous things." So that everyone can't live. But Li Shuhua's attitude was very soft, and she persuaded Xing'er for a while, saying that she would rest assured, she would never leave her alone, and she would definitely save her......
"Did they say what it was?" Chu Lingfeng was a little impatient: "Xing'er's girl is fast-talking, didn't she say anything to threaten Li Shuhua?" ”
Yang Guan showed a look of regret on his face: "I heard it from the beginning to the end, but they didn't mention what it was. It's just that Li Shuhua promised that Xing'er would definitely be rescued. Let her wait with peace of mind. Oh, I also said that she is not easy to do in the mansion, so let Xing'er not worry if she wants to go to the yamen tomorrow. When she arrives at the Yamen, she will definitely find someone to dredge up. ”
Chu Lingfeng nodded: "I know, Li Shuhua is very cautious, and it is not easy to find out the news from her." But it's good to know that she has some unspeakable secrets with Xing'er. ”
Chu Lingfeng paced a few steps to the window. touched his chin and said: "I like the four words "unspeakable" the most, she is unspeakable, so I can take advantage of it." ”
Maybe Chu Lingfeng's eyes were too warm, and he only saw that Yang Guan's heart was furious, and he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and his heart was so dangerous.
Fortunately, they are Xue Mingyang's people after all, and they are their own people, so Chu Lingfeng is still merciful to them, just a small punishment and a big commandment, if they really kill them. Maybe they're lying in that ravine and feeding the beasts.
"Okay, let's take a look at this matter, there is still a while before dawn, you can go back and rest." Chu Lingfeng nodded, and said: "The news from the Xue Mansion just now said that Jingshan had discovered the news of Mrs. Xue, and the master had already rushed there, and Mingyang got the news and rushed over. ”
He knew that Yang Guan was loyal to Xue Mingyang, so he went to stare at Xing'er and came back in the middle of the night to find that Xue Mingyang was gone. must be in a hurry, so I told him in detail, looked at him with a look of astonishment after speaking, and said, "Don't worry." We all know that there is something wrong with this, and fame is also prepared. No matter who sets up a bureau there, he will not suffer. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Lingfeng felt quite appreciative, and the losses and things were all said by people with insufficient ability. Otherwise. Even if you show weakness for a while, you always have to get it back.
Hearing Chu Lingfeng say this, Yang Guan was also relieved and nodded: "Then I'll go out first, Madame can only tell me if I have something." Although I don't know what kind of deal there is between Li Shuhua and Xing'er, it is definitely not a good thing to be mysterious and secretive, and Mrs. must also pay attention to safety, if there is anything, safety must be the main thing. ”
Since he received the order to protect Chu Lingfeng, he must put Chu Lingfeng's safety first. Yang Guan deeply felt that although the Chu family was not as deep as the Xue family, it also hid unspeakable secrets and hidden dangers.
It wasn't long before dawn at this time, and Chu Lingfeng didn't want to sleep anymore after Yang Guan went back, so he leaned on his clothes for a while, and the sky was already bright.
Xiao Tian knocked on the door and came in, waiting for her to wash up as usual, and then said, "Miss, the master invites you to have breakfast, in the flower hall." said that it was rare for you to come back, and I knew that there was something going on in the Xue Mansion, so I didn't leave for you, but I had to have breakfast before leaving. also said that there was no one else in the morning, just him, his wife, and the eldest young master, and the family had a meal, without restraint. ”
Chu Lingfeng curled the corners of his lips and smiled: "I know that they are a family, but what is it that treats me as a family, it is really quite surprising." ”
Unlike Xue Fu, the atmosphere of the Chu family is quite upright, although Chu Hongliang also has an aunt wife, but the wife is always the wife, and the eldest son Chu Han also inherits the family business as a matter of course, and looks like the eldest son is the master of the house, unlike the Xue family, the side room is on top, and the son-in-law is not taken seriously.
However, whether she attaches importance to it or not, it has nothing to do with Chu Lingfeng, she used to be in the mansion, and she didn't have any chance to see Chu Hongliang's face except for the New Year's holidays. Having breakfast at the same table with their family of three is even more impossible, it is simply whimsical, and they haven't woken up yet.
"It was quite unexpected." Xiao Tian has been by Chu Lingfeng's side for all these years, and she also empathizes: "Then Miss, are you going, do you want to let the girl go and talk about it, just say that you didn't sleep well last night, and you can't eat." ”
Chu Lingfeng sneered: "Why don't you go, are you afraid that they will poison the food?" I guess they have something to say to me, and it's better to talk to me when my uncle isn't here. It just so happened that I also had something to say to them, and now that my uncle is not here, I would be better able to speak. ”
Xue Mingyang is a son-in-law after all, he is not good at being a villain, and he doesn't pull his face too much. Chu Lingfeng is different, she has not had a reputation for being virtuous and virtuous in the Chu Mansion over the years, and she doesn't care about being said to be unfilial and ruthless again.
After dressing and grooming, Chu Lingfeng took Xiao Tian and Yang Guan to the flower hall, she grew up in the Chu family, and she especially understood what the Chu family ate. Quite simply, power, power. As long as you are stronger than them, no matter how much they complain, they can only swallow it in their stomachs, and dare not speak out.
In the flower hall, a table of meals has been set up. The breakfast of the Chu family has always been simple, but today because of Chu Lingfeng, it is quite hearty, and a table is steaming.
Li Shuhua obviously didn't sleep well last night, and her eyes were blue. Although there is a lot of cover-up, it is still quite obvious. However, Xing'er is her personal girl, and when something like this happens, it is normal for her to sleep unsteadily, and no one thinks there is anything wrong.
Except for Li Shuhua, there were really only Chu Hongliang and Chu Han, the two of them sat at the table casually, and when they saw Chu Lingfeng coming, Chu Hongliang smiled and said, "Lingfeng is here, sit down and eat." It's all hot. Shuhua, give Lingfeng a bowl of shredded chicken porridge. ”
Although Li Shuhua didn't have much energy, she still stood up with a smile on her face, and gave Chu Lingfeng porridge with a kind face: "Come, come and eat." Lingfeng didn't sleep well last night? ”
"It's fine." Chu Lingfeng smiled: "Thank you, Madame, for your concern." ”
Although everyone has their own intentions, the atmosphere at the table is very harmonious, you are a kind word, I am a kind word, you care about me, I care about you. Breakfast was quickly finished.
After breakfast, according to Linchuan's habit, tea was served in the summer, and Chu Han took a sip of tea. In the tone of a big brother, he said: "Lingfeng, you are in the Xue family these days, and you are still used to it." How is Uncle treating you? ”
"Xianggong is very good to me." Chu Lingfeng pursed his lips and smiled: "Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Xue are very good, although the other ladies and ladies are not very friendly, but fortunately, they can't speak now, and everyone is in the courtyard on weekdays." There is no intersection either. ”
Xue Mingyang, Old Lady Xue and Mrs. Xue, this is what Xue Mansion can say now, the few forces that are in charge of the house, they are all good to Chu Lingfeng, and this is enough. As for Xue Lang's other wives and other children, they are all about to rely on others, and they don't need to take it to heart at all.
Hearing Chu Lingfeng say this, Chu Hongliang's family's expressions were even more satisfied.
Chu Lingfeng is good in the Xue family, which means that his words have weight. As long as Chu Lingfeng can be convinced, it will also persuade Xue Mingyang to a large extent. It is equivalent to more than half of the success, and it is equal to the silver of those white flowers, which are all in the pocket.
Looking at Li Shuhua and Chu Han's smiles, Chu Lingfeng asked knowingly, "Dad, how is the family's business lately?" I passed by the hospital a few days ago and saw that there were a lot of customers inside. The eldest brother is so capable, I think it should be pretty good. ”
Chu Lingfeng said, looked at Chu Han, and unexpectedly, saw Chu Han's embarrassed face.
She actually knew that the Chu Family Medical Clinic's business had not been good recently.
How can it be good, recently, in order to suppress the Heshan Hall managed by Xue Mingsheng, the medicine in Zhengduofang is almost half sold and half given, and not only the medicine is delivered, but also comes with a series of discounts for daily necessities, so it has robbed the business of many medical centers and pharmacies in Linchuan, and naturally, the Chu Family Medical Center is also one of them.
Moreover, the Chu Family Medical Center is still one of the more seriously affected by the disaster, because although the scale of the Chu Family Medical Center is not large, but the grade is quite high, and it does not rely on the number to win, but serves some rich families in Linchuan.
After Zhengduofang settled in Linchuan, on the one hand, it gave medical treatment to ordinary people, half sold and half sent. On the one hand, he trumpeted that he was a family of imperial doctors and a descendant of imperial doctors.
The imperial doctor, no matter what era it is, is a very remarkable existence that makes people sound special, so there is no real material, no ability, can you become an imperial doctor, can you enter the palace to see a doctor for the emperor and queen?
Therefore, this name suddenly suppressed the local rich people in Linchuan. They are not short of money, and they usually hope to find the best doctor when they see a doctor or something, and a local Chu family in Linchuan, although the century-old store has been inherited from generation to generation, it sounds very profound, but compared with the word imperial doctor, it is much worse.
The Chu family lost a lot of business all of a sudden, although it was not overstretched, but if it continued like this, it would be really bad.
This time, under the pretext of Chu Han's birthday, Chu Lingfeng and his wife were summoned, and Chu Hongliang had this idea.
It is said that Xue Mingyang has now taken over the business of Heshantang from his younger brother, but he must not like this business very much, and it is necessary to grab it, but they have not liked each other for twenty years, how can they look at each other well now. Since Xue Mingyang doesn't like it, and it is impossible to lose it, it is better to let the fertilizer and water not flow into the fields of outsiders, and continue to operate it for the Chu family.
As long as there is Heshantang, Chu Hongliang feels that it is not impossible to fight head-on with Zhengduofang.
As for why the Xue family wants to give them such a big business, shouldn't Xue Mingyang marry his own daughter, and give such a gift to his father-in-law's family? The richest man in Linchuan, the richest man in Daan, and Heshantang are just a dispensable business, so they shouldn't be taken to heart.
The father and son of the Chu family thought very well, the two glanced at each other, Chu Hongliang coughed and said: "Lingfeng, I didn't want to say this, but since you asked, I'll tell the truth, these days, since Zhengduofang opened a store in Linchuan, the family's business is booming, and if it doesn't get better for another year and a half, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain." ”
"How so?" Chu Lingfeng was shocked: "Dad, are you kidding?" ”
"This kind of thing, how can Dad be joking." Chu Hongliang had a bitter look on his face: "Originally, I called you and Mingyang back today, but this is this matter, and I want to discuss it with you." It's not famous at this time, it just so happens that we are a family, so it's more convenient to talk to you. ”
Chu Lingfeng took over and said: "So that's the case, just right, Dad, I also have something to tell you, it's a famous idea, originally I thought that the family business was good, and you wouldn't want to." In this way, it can be considered. ”
Could it be that Xue Mingyang is so conscious that he is already planning to please his father-in-law's family. Chu Hongliang was overjoyed in his heart, and said with anticipation: "If Mingyang has any ideas, you can come and hear it." ”
Chu Lingfeng smiled slightly: "The Xue family's Heshan Hall has always been taken care of by Xue Mingsheng before, but now it is handed over to the Xianggong all of a sudden, and he is a little uncomfortable for a while. After rectifying it, the doctor who sat in the clinic has gone a lot, and there is a great shortage of people these days, and Mingyang said that his father and the eldest brother and the second brother are both doctors with superb medical skills, and ask if you are willing to close the Chu family medical hall and go to Heshantang for consultation, and you don't have to bother and effort, and the money will not be less than opening the medical hall. With my face, naturally no one will treat you badly. ”
"Sitting?" Chu Hongliang almost didn't believe his ears: "You said to sit in the clinic? (To be continued.) )
