Chapter 169: Keeping the Word
After Rong Ruo handed over the things in his hand to Xue Mingyang, he only glanced at Xue Mingsheng lightly, and didn't even bother to order one, but at the same time, he didn't forget to let Xue Mingyang bring his wife to eat if he had anything to do.
A noble son like Rong Ruo has a very annoying quality, if he thinks that he looks at you in the right eye, then naturally the brotherhood can help with everything, needless to say. But if he doesn't like you and looks down on you from the bottom of his heart, then he doesn't need to pretend, he can put on a lofty posture, as if you are just an ant under his feet, and even stepping on you will waste his time.
Xue Mingsheng was angry in his heart, looking at Rong Ruo's back, he felt envy and jealousy in his heart, and he couldn't help but mock with one mouth: "I really underestimated my eldest brother before, and as soon as I got out of the door of the Xue family, I leaned on the big tree of the Rong family. I don't know what means I used to make Rong Ruo look up to you so highly. ”
If Xue Mingyang nodded to Rong Ruo, then Xue Mingsheng really looked down on him. But if Rong Ruo was polite to Xue Mingyang, he was completely a brother and got along, so that Xue Mingsheng didn't even say anything.
At this time, listening to Xue Mingsheng's ridicule, Xue Mingyang smiled in a very good mood: "Brother Rong's family background is gentle and polite, and it is a matter of course to make friends with such a person." Between friends, heart for heart, treat each other with sincerity, there is no need to use any means at all. I also said this to my second brother, but you just don't care about it. ”
Xue Mingsheng couldn't say if he was bitter, where was he disdainful of Rong Ruo, he rushed to show goodwill, but people didn't buy his account, there was no way, so he had to eat grapes and say that grapes were sour.
Xue Mingyang's words made Xue Mingsheng hold his breath but didn't know what to say. After a pause, he said: "The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, what kind of friends the eldest brother makes, I am not interested in caring." But in any case, you shouldn't go against your family. Eldest brother. Even if your father doesn't pass on the family business to you, it is your father, and the Xue family is also your family, and you help outsiders deal with the family. Is it possible to have a good conscience? Aren't you afraid that your father's spirit in heaven can't turn a blind eye and come to you to settle accounts? ”
"You're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Xue Mingyang lowered his voice and said, "There are some things I don't know, but I can guess. I don't have proof, you have it. But I won't believe you either. ”
These words were very soft, and no one heard them except Xue Mingsheng, but as soon as he heard this, his face changed suddenly: "Big brother, what do you mean by this, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense." ”
"I don't mean anything, just talk about it." Xue Mingyang shrugged: "But about the matter of cooperating with Zhengduofang, I can't do anything, you inherited the family business, and I also have to eat." Why don't you start your own small business and make some money, so do you live? You also know that everyone is used to living a rich life, and I only brought out five thousand taels of silver, which is enough to do. ”
In all fairness, those small workshops in Xue Mingyang's hands, Xue Mingsheng didn't pay attention to them at all at first, but there are too many mosquitoes and annoying, not to mention that there are many workshops and Heshantang. In other words, the two largest pharmacies in Linchuan City are under Xue Mingyang's control, and there is no one who is not sick. Therefore, the position of the pharmacy in the lives of the people in this era is very important, and if he can make good use of it, it may not be able to become bigger.
Xue Mingsheng was still a little uneasy at first, but suddenly as if he had thought of something, he smiled coldly: "Since the eldest brother insists on doing this, then I won't persuade you." I'll see. Let's see what big brother can do. However, if there is a day when you can't go on, the door of the Xue Mansion is still open to you, and you can bring your sister-in-law back at any time, and the Xue family will still take care of it. ”
Xue Mingsheng longed for Xue Mingyang to die, but at this moment, he felt that it was really difficult to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he died like this. You must watch him embarrassed, watch him beg for mercy and admit defeat in front of him, that is happy.
Facing Xue Mingsheng's self-confidence, Xue Mingyang just smiled: "This doesn't have to worry about the second brother, you better take care of yourself first." The Xue family has hundreds of people up and down, and they will have to rely on the second brother to live in the future, and the expenses are big, the head of the family, it's not easy. ”
The expenses are not only big, in a family like the Xue family, there are dozens of masters on several floors, and the normal monthly expenses are several thousand, not to mention those business dealings, this adult takes a concubine and that lady's birthday, and every day when he opens his eyes, the silver will flow out, and soon Xue Mingsheng will know how heavy the courage on his shoulders is.
After Xue Mingyang finished speaking, he turned around and left, and after turning around, the corners of his mouth had not yet fallen.
Thinking about the box of silver tickets and jewelry last night, he really couldn't help but feel very good, and even had some impulses to let Xue Mingsheng know, although he wouldn't really do it, but he still couldn't help but think about it in his heart, if Xue Mingsheng knew that Chu Lingfeng had dug up such a large sum of money from the Xue family and left, he was afraid that he would vomit blood on the spot.
It's like just arriving in Yangzhou, a new house, even if there are countless subordinates, even if it seems that everything is ready, in fact, there are still many things that need to be placed, and for every matter, the subordinates have to come to ask Chu Lingfeng for advice, so she couldn't rest and drink tea all morning, and she was not able to take a breath until it was time to eat at noon.
"Miss, sit down and rest." Xiao Tian finally got the opportunity, and hurriedly pressed Chu Lingfeng's shoulders and rubbed his arms, and then gave him a cup of tea: "Come, take a sip of tea first, take a breath and then eat." ”
"Really thoughtful." Chu Lingfeng smiled and took the tea to drink.
Although I was a little busy and tired in the morning, I was still in a good mood to speak. Although the Xue family is big, after all, he is only one of the insignificant, and there is a feeling that everyone can command him, and he is uncomfortable. And Yangzhou can be the master of the house, but after all, he is in a foreign country, and he has a feeling of wandering.
Only here, in this small house, is what she says, and whatever she says, is what she is.
It's a pity that there is a kind of human existence in this world, specifically to make people unhappy.
Chu Lingfeng had just drunk tea and was about to eat, when a small servant came outside to report, saying that it was Mrs. Chu's maiden family who was from her family, and Mrs. Chu brought Young Master Chu to give gifts to Xue Mansion.
"They're coming really fast." Before Chu Lingfeng could speak, Xiao Tian sneered first: "I must have heard the news and knew that the young lady and my aunt were kicked out, for fear that we would run out of money in the future, and they would not be able to reap the benefits, so I hurried." This has just come out, and there is always a little savings, and it will be too late if you don't start. ”
Chu Lingfeng looked at Xiao Tian's indignant appearance, and he was quite unhappy. I don't feel so irritable now.
This is something that must be faced, although she originally wanted to delay it for a few days, and she didn't want to spare energy to deal with the people of the Chu family at this busiest time. But obviously, the life of the Chu family was afraid that the money in their mouths ran away. I don't plan to give her a breather, I have to hurry up and grab the money in my own hands to feel at ease.
"Miss, will you let them in?" The little girl also knew that Chu Lingfeng was at odds with her mother's family, and she was not a gentle-tempered heroine, and her father-in-law died yesterday. was kicked out of Xue's house, and he didn't have time to drink the water he was busy all morning, so he sat down, afraid that he would not be in a good mood.
And this Mrs. Chu who came to the door is not Chu Lingfeng's real mother, and she has no feelings, if Chu Lingfeng is in a bad mood, maybe she can really do something to splash water on someone's face.
Fortunately, Chu Lingfeng had calmed down, smiled coldly, and said, "How can you not let me in." That's my mother's family. Go, ask them to sit in the hall, and I'll go right away. ”
Seeing that the little girl went out, Chu Lingfeng said again: "Xiao Tian, go and get your uncle back, you go in person, and quietly tell your aunt that I want to give Heshantang to my mother's family." ”
Xiao Tian was dumbfounded: "Miss, such a big thing, you let me talk about it?" You. You haven't told your uncle yet? ”
I'm going to give it to my mother's family, and I said it too calmly, as if what she wanted to give was not a few time-honored shops that had been in business for decades, but a handkerchief and a box of pastries.
"I haven't found a chance yet. You also know how much happened yesterday. Chu Lingfeng rubbed his eyebrows: "It's okay, you go, at noon today, my uncle said that I was going to have dinner with people in Qingfeng Building, you go and just tell him this, he understands." ”
Chu Lingfeng believed that Xue Mingyang understood. She thinks that she has always been accurate in seeing people, and she and Xue Mingyang, although they have not been married and known for a long time, they have also experienced a lot together, and now they are even more dependent on each other, Xue Mingyang should believe that no matter what she does, even if she can't figure it out for a while, it must be for the good of the two of them.
And even if she is forced, she will not be able to give in to anyone. Every penny she is forced to give away is bound to have a bigger return.
Xiao Tian saw that Chu Lingfeng was sure of what he said, and went in disbelief, Chu Lingfeng got up, straightened his clothes, and went to see Li Shuhua.
I don't know if Chu Hongliang went out, so this time only Li Shuhua and her son Chu Han came, and the two began to look at the house from the moment they entered the door.
The purpose is very simple, that is, to let Chu Lingfeng hurry up and give them Heshantang. Of course, they also knew that Chu Lingfeng and Xue Mingyang had been kicked out of the door, and now they may not have this right, so they also made plans for the worst, if they don't get to Heshantang, they have to have considerable compensation, looking at the furnishings in the small mansion, although the place is not big, but the layout is also quite luxurious, and it looks precious everywhere, it can be seen that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and Xue Mingyang must have brought out a lot of money even if he was driven out of the Xue family.
Be sure to dig a little bit more before the money is spent.
Chu Lingfeng looked at the mother and son's somewhat revealing and restrained eyes, and simply didn't bother to pretend anymore, so he sat down in the hall: "Your news is well-informed, I haven't finished cleaning up in this mansion, and you are here." ”
Although Chu Lingfeng said that he didn't take this mother and son in his eyes before, it was the first time that he was so unkind, and he didn't even have a title, and the disdain in his words was about to come out.
Chu Han frowned, a little unhappy that Chu Lingfeng was so rude to his mother, but Li Shuhua waved his hand indifferently, and said calmly: "The master is not here today, go out, then let's not beat around the bush, everyone is tired." Chu Lingfeng, you don't look down on us, and we don't want to bother, but we know about the Xue family, and we are a little worried, so we came to ask. Of course, it's also to look at you, you are the daughter of the Chu family, if you can't live outside, the Chu family won't care. ”
"Immortal Mrs. Chu bothered." Chu Lingfeng said lightly: "I'm doing well, although it's not as big as the Xue family's old mansion here, there is no shortage of what it should have, and I prefer the feeling of being the master of the house than in the old mansion." ”
Chu Lingfeng just wanted to make Li Shuhua look an eyesore, and after a while of effort, she also deliberately went to change her clothes and put on a few pieces of jewelry.
Don't think that if they are driven out of the Xue family, it will be a tiger falling in Pingyang, even if she sets up another door, she can still live a rich and satisfied life, and moreover, she is more leisurely than in the old mansion before. is still Li Shuhua's distant and unexpected.
Li Shuhua looked at Chu Lingfeng without being haggard at all, and the people in the house were respectful and obedient one by one, as if they were the hostess of the house, and she was a little unhappy, but she pressed it down: "That's good, you are doing well, we will rest assured, then let's get down to business, I heard that Master Xue passed away, and the second young man of the Xue family was designated to inherit the family business, so what did the uncle get when he went out?" Our Heshan Hall, how to say, the third lady should not have forgotten. ”
Our Heshan Hall, Chu Lingfeng was really amazed at the thickness of Li Shuhua's skin, and he was able to occupy other people's properties so naturally and treat it as his own private house.
"Don't worry, what I promised, I will definitely do it." Chu Lingfeng took a sip of tea: "It's just that I've been a little busy in the past two days, and I haven't had time yet." ”
Seeing that Li Shuhua was about to speak again, Chu Lingfeng waved his hand: "Since you are here, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, I have already asked people to find Mingyang and come back, you wait for a while." I will do this today, so as not to have many dreams at night, and you will not feel at ease, and I will not be at ease. However, do you remember my conditions, now that my father is not at home, can I take my mother's tablet back? ”
Chu Lingfeng's request is to change one hand for another, but there is no reason to only go out and not enter.
Seeing that Chu Lingfeng said that he was going to do things today, he would transfer the ownership of Heshantang to them, Li Shuhua's mother and son were overjoyed, and Li Shuhua patted his chest on the spot and promised: "Don't worry, as long as you hand over Heshantang to us, I have the final say on your mother's tablet." I'll let you pick it up today. Your mother is a concubine in the Chu family, and she has not entered the family tree, and her spiritual position is dispensable, and there is no need for your father to be present. ”
A good one is dispensable, a good one is just a concubine, Chu Lingfeng gritted his back molars and smiled slightly, let you be proud for a while, falling from the clouds, it will be very painful to fall, and it can make people happy. (To be continued.) )
