After playing with the two little girls for a while, Li Xiluan sent someone to inform him to come over.

Wei Qiao sent someone, and the chess pieces suddenly fell like rain and wind, and said with a smile: "Girls, young master, I am going to win again." ”

Wan'er Xiangling's two little heads were put together, staring at the chessboard, ignoring Wei Qiao's pride.

"Wait!" Xiangling suddenly shouted, quickly jumped up, and ran straight to Wei Qiao's study.

Wei Qiao smiled indifferently, picked up the teacup on the side, and took a sip gently.

"Sister Wan'er." Xiangling quickly ran back again, sat out extremely ladylikely, put a chess game on her lap, and the two little heads came together and talked in a low voice.

Wei Qiao smiled, put down the teacup, and said, "You take your time, young master, I'll go and meet the leader." ”

For the fresh words that pop out of Wei Qiao's mouth from time to time, the two have long been used to it. Wan'er raised her head and pursed her lips at him and chuckled, but the little girl waved her little hands impatiently, and her big eyes kept looking at the chess game.

Wei Qiao walked out of the door with a smile, turned around and walked towards the study as soon as he went out, took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer, read them, and then walked towards Li Xiluan's small building.

In Li Xiluan's small building, the lights were bright, and five or six sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls who looked like maids were busy back and forth at a large table in the central hall, and all kinds of thick account books were piled up on the table and stools, all over the eyes. The movements are skillful and fast, and the instructions are clear and clear, obviously these people are all helpers trained by Li Xiluan.

The fish stood on the side, constantly remembering something, and then sent out instructions one by one, and the people below quickly sorted out and summarized them, and then reported to her.

Wei Qiao walked in as he watched. As soon as Yu'er looked up and saw that it was Wei Qiao, she hurriedly put down the things in her hand, walked over, and said softly, "Young Master." ”

The little girls looked back at Wei Qiao, immediately stood up, bent down slightly, and whispered in an extremely polite manner: "Young Master." ”

Wei Qiao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You guys are busy with you, I'm just here to take a look." ”

A few maids turned their heads to look at the fish, the fish looked at Wei Qiao, nodded to them, and several maids immediately bent over Wei Qiao again, turned around and started to get busy again.

Yu'er stood quietly in front of Wei Qiao, turned his head to look at Wei Qiao and said softly: "Young master, Miss has just come back, you can sit down for a while." ”

Yu'er naturally didn't dare to tell Wei Qiao that her young lady asked her to stop Wei Qiao and not let him in.

Wei Qiao smiled and nodded, naturally not knowing Yu'er's thoughts, and sat down on the chair on the side. watched a few little girls do things neatly, and said to the fish standing on the side: "You go and get busy, I'm not an outsider, I don't need anyone to accompany me." ”

Yu'er pursed her mouth lightly, and was no longer surprised by Wei Qiao's light tone, and said softly: "No, I just need to watch." Look, she didn't say who she was looking at, just standing beside Wei Qiao so prettyly, staring at a few little girls who were busy back and forth.

Wei Qiao looked at Yu'er's pretty face, and when he saw her eyes looking at the table in the center, he didn't feel strange, and smiled and didn't speak.

Li Xiluan was in his bedroom, his clothes had not been changed, he sat at the table, looking at the rice paper in front of him with dense white and black characters, his eyebrows were frowning, and his eyes were flashing.

These are all summaries of the Wei family's recent situation, as well as some analysis of the situation of the Chen and Chu families.

"Hey." After a long time, Li Xiluan sighed, frowned and sorted out the papers, folded them, put them in a drawer, and locked them gently.

Li Xiluan put a finger in his mouth, paced around the room with his head down, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes flickered.

The Chamber of Commerce is already counting down, and the pressure on the Wei family is getting bigger and bigger, although Li Xiluan has never told Wei Qiao, the pressure she is carrying still makes her breathless. The Wei family has an order from the army, so she can completely ease her breath, and she doesn't have to be entangled with the Chen Chu family anymore, and she is confident that she can calmly resist the pressure from the Chen family after surviving next summer.

But if he loses in the Chamber of Commerce, it will undoubtedly cause an unimaginable blow to the Wei family, as the helmsman of the Wei family, Li Xiluan knows this deeply, and if he is not careful, he will even repeat the shock when Master Wei passed away, pushing the Wei family into an extremely dangerous situation again.

Li Xiluan frowned, thinking about it in her head. Not long after Master Wei's death, there were still a lot of relationships left to her, plus the two things that Wei Qiao gave him, Li Xiluan believed that she could win more support, but she understood better that the Chen and Chu families were not easy, and the old man of the Chen family lived in a simple place, but no one dared to underestimate him; The old man of the Chu family is even more scheming, and his cunning is comparable to that of a fox. Although the two are not Master Wei's opponents, she faces them like mountains.

Li Xiluan thought for a long time, but couldn't help but sigh, tidied up the corners of his clothes, and walked out the door.

Yu'er kept staring at the door frame, and when she saw the tip of her shoe exposed, she immediately walked over, and Li Xiluan had just taken the second foot, and she whispered a few words in her ear.

Li Xiluan nodded, glanced at Wei Qiao, and said softly, "Pour two cups of tea." ”

The fish said 'um', and Li Xiluan turned around and walked towards Wei Qiao.

Wei Qiao could see the tiredness in Li Xiluan's expression at a glance, watched her sit down, and whispered: "Sister-in-law, why haven't you changed your clothes after coming back for so long?" ”

Li Xiluan has always maintained a strong and cold appearance, only in front of Wei Qiao, will her weakness be revealed, she leaned on the table, looked at Wei Qiao, pursed her lips and glared at him, and said: "Uncle, there is a lantern festival tomorrow, you take Wan'er and Xiangling to see it, it should look good this year." ”

Wei Qiao smiled, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "I met a shopkeeper named Qian Fang today, who is from Suzhou. ”

Li Xiluan's face was slightly red, but when she heard it, she looked at Wei Qiao with a strange face, and said softly: "This person I know is the first jeweler in Suzhou, and he is very famous. ”

Wei Qiao smiled lightly and said meaningfully, "He said he would come to visit you in the next few days." "Li Xiluan is a very smart person, he doesn't need to say it too thoroughly.

Li Xiluan's face was shocked, she immediately sat up, leaned over, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, does he really have the heart to cooperate with our Wei family?" ”

Wei Qiao nodded and said in a low voice: "I estimate that ** is not far from ten." ”

When Li Xiluan heard this, his eyes were full of joy. In the past, it was extremely difficult to break into Suzhou, and the Wei family originally had plans for Suzhou, but unfortunately because of the death of Master Wei, no one mentioned it after that. If there is Qian Fang's cooperation now, then the Wei family can completely abandon Jinling and enter Suzhou directly, get rid of the burden of Jinling, and with the help of Suzhou, the virgin land, the Wei family will inevitably rejuvenate, and even recreate the glory of Master Wei!

"Uncle!" Li Xiluan didn't know what to say when she looked at Wei Qiao, it was very difficult for her to do something, Wei Qiao went out and walked casually, and simply brought in an incredible collaborator!

Wei Qiao smiled and said softly, "It's time to tell me about the situation, right?" ”

Li Xiluan was full of excitement, watched Yu'er put down the teacup, hesitated for a moment, and then frowned with a slight smile: "Uncle, the Chen family has made a big move, and many shopkeepers have been co-opted, and this time the Chamber of Commerce is a little difficult." ”

Wei Qiao's face was indifferent, but he shook his head in his heart. What's more, there are some difficulties, the Wei family has declined so far, and it has been at the tail of the three families, if it weren't for the Chen family's estimation of Master Wei's Yu Wei, it is estimated that it will not be a slow temptation, but a whale swallowing.

Wei Qiao thought for a while, and said with an indifferent smile: "Don't worry, don't say that my father will definitely leave a back hand, I also have preparations." ”

Li Xiluan looked at Wei Qiao and smiled lightly, knowing that he was deliberately comforting himself, and said in a low voice: "What are you prepared for?" ”

Wei Qiao saw that her pretty face was like jade and she was smiling, and she couldn't help blurting out, "If you let me stay tonight, I'll say it." ”

Li Xiluan rolled his eyes, sat back slightly, and said in a low voice: "Among the shopkeepers who have always supported the Wei family, Duan Feng, Qiao Zhengyan, and Tang Yudong are the most influential and firm. They are people who have been gracious to their fathers before, and tomorrow they will enter Jinling, and I plan to pick them up, do you want to go? ”

Wei Qiao saw that she was not worried, so he smiled and said, "I won't go, tomorrow is the temple fair, and I can't delay." ”

Li Xiluan glanced at him charmingly, and knew that he was deliberately amusing himself, and it was indeed not appropriate for him to go. Zhan Yan smiled lightly and said, "Well, then you can go." ”

Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then touched his hair with some embarrassment, what was he still counting on Li Xiluan's 'three visits to the thatched house'?

Wei Qiao's eyes blinked, put down his hand, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, handed them over, and smiled at Li Xiluan: "Take a look." ”

Li Xiluan will never embarrass Weiqiao, if he doesn't want to go, he will naturally not ask a second time. Jade took the papers, looked at him curiously, and looked down.

Li Xiluan was startled at a glance, and then his face was full of weirdness, and his eyes were surprisingly bright.

After a long time, Li Xiluan's pretty face was shocked, and she looked up in surprise and said, "This, uncle, did you come up with it?" ”

Wei Qiao held the teacup, waved his hand, and said with an affirmative face: "How can I be so smart, from the book, it is a fake." ”

Li Xiluan didn't care whether there were any fakes or not, and said with a solemn face: "Which book?" ”

Wei Qiao put down the teacup, frowned, and said, "I don't remember much, I've been reading too many books recently, like this one and which one it looks like, it's hard to be sure." ”

Li Xiluan was startled, quickly came back to his senses, listened to Wei Qiao's words, was stunned, and then chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Well, then the uncle will go back and think about it and make a few more fakes." ”

Wei Qiao touched his nose again, and said in his heart that it is not a good thing that this woman is too smart.

This assembly line was made up by Wei Qiao for nothing, and it was originally designed for the winery, but thinking about the dyeing workshop, Wei Qiao pondered and designed it for the dyeing workshop again.

Li Xiluan may not have read a few miscellaneous books, but this kind of assembly line work, she is sure that she has never seen it in books. Therefore, after being shocked, he came back to his senses, and it was natural to think that this was another masterpiece of Wei Qiao, and this was indeed the case.
