Chapter 32: The March Covenant
This time, it took one day more than Shu Zicheng expected to go out to take inventory of rent, and it was not until noon on the third day that Shu Zicheng and Shu Qing returned to the apricot garden.
If it weren't for the businessmen in the Runzhou business name, they would have been able to return to Yangzhou at noon yesterday, but now they have an extra day.
In fact, these small things can be left to the people below, but he always likes to do it himself, exactly the same as when he first took over the family business.
It wasn't until he returned to the gate of the apricot orchard that Shu Zicheng's hanging heart was finally completely put down.
He was worried all the way, for fear that Shu Qing would have some accidents, but fortunately, this road was very peaceful, Shu Qing was clever and smart, and he didn't need to worry about it at all.
"Let's move all our luggage into the house." Shu Zicheng got out of the carriage and ordered his subordinates tiredly.
Immediately, someone moved their luggage into the apricot orchard one after another.
Shu Zicheng said to Xuehuan Xuepei again: "Everyone has worked hard this way, you go and prepare bath water for Miss first, and wait for her to have a good rest." ”
Shu Qing was indeed tired, and until now he was leaning on the carriage and sleeping.
Xuehuan Xuepei responded, and immediately followed suit.
Shu Zicheng took care of everything and was about to enter the door, but a small servant walked up to him and said cautiously: "Master, a man came to visit yesterday, saying that he came here and came to see you on purpose." ”
When Shu Zicheng heard this, he frowned, and asked curiously: "Come here?" Have you asked his name? ”
"The villain also asked." The little man replied respectfully, "But the man has repeatedly avoided and never answered, but the little man listens to his accent, as if he is from the capital." ”
"From the capital?" Shu Zicheng's heart tightened, the word capital suddenly gave him a bad premonition, and he was about to forget how long it had been since he heard this word from other people's mouths.
"When the villain saw that his words were suspicious and his behavior was treacherous, he turned him away and did not let him in." The little guy added.
"Hmm." Shu Zicheng bowed lightly, "Yangzhou is not peaceful during this time, the murderer has not been found in the murder case so far, no matter who comes in the future, it will not be easy to open the door." ”
"Yes, the villain knows."
After Shu Zicheng finished his order, he strode back to the apricot orchard with his hands.
But anything that has an affair with the word Beijing makes him feel bad.
Anything related to the capital should be prevented from appearing in Shu Qing's world.
After returning to the courtyard, Shu Zicheng went to the head of the guard again, and specially told him to strengthen the defense of the apricot garden, especially not to let anyone approach Shu Qing's boudoir.
Shu Qing didn't know about this little accident, and he was still asleep in his dream.
In the next few days, it was too peaceful, Shu Qing would occasionally follow Shu Zicheng out to do business, but Shu Zicheng was always secretly helping her, and he didn't give her a chance to show her hands and feet.
On the fifth day, Shu Qing finally made up her mind, she wanted to go to the Mansion in the Clouds to give it a try!
For dinner this day, Shu Qing ate depressedly.
Shu Zicheng saw that she didn't move her chopsticks much, and asked with concern: "Aqing, what's wrong?" Could it be that today's food is not to your liking? ”
Since Shu Qing recovered from a serious illness, her appetite seems to be much better than before, and she can eat a big bowl of rice at every meal.
Shu Qing sighed slightly, and said with a heavy heart: "I can't hide it, my daughter has something to ask her father." ”
In Shu Zicheng's impression, Shu Qing has never used a single word please since she was a child, and it must be a very important thing for her to use "please".
Shu Zicheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's the matter?" ”
Shu Qing blinked, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyebrows: "Dad agreed first, and my daughter will talk about it." ”
Shu Zicheng thought for a moment, and readily agreed: "It's one thing to say slowly, even if it's eight out of ten, it's no problem." ”
"Okay, that's what Daddy said." Shu Qingden dispelled his sadness and laughed happily.
Shu Zicheng also laughed: "Okay, what can it be said now?" ”
Shu Qingqing straightened his color, and then said: "My daughter wants to go to the house in the clouds to do things." Earlier, Sister Chunniang called me and asked my daughter to take over the branch of Yunzhonglu. ”
"What?" After hearing this, Shu Zicheng's brows furrowed more and more, and he said without thinking about it, "No!" ”
"Why?" Shu Qing expected that Shu Zicheng would disagree, so he set a trap for Shu Zicheng in advance, but he didn't expect him to regret it. Shu Qinggan glared at him, "Dad, you don't talk much!" ”
Shu Zicheng didn't have much heart to eat, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and patiently explained to Shu Qing: "It's not that my father is talking, it's just that one of your daughters' family, how bad is it to show up all day long?" ”
Shu Qing had her own way to deal with it, her starry eyes widened, and she said with a small face: "Our Dazhou people are open, and we have long been taboo to show up." ”
"Well, even if you don't shy away from showing up, there's no need to do things for others." Shu Zicheng said, "Our Shu family has countless thousands of inns and restaurants, why do you need to go to the house in the clouds if you want to do things?" Dad knows that you have a very good relationship with Na Chunniang, if you just want to play with her for a few days, Dad naturally has no objection. ”
Shu Qing held his cheeks with both hands, and there was a little helplessness in his eyes: "My daughter has grown up, and she is no longer a three-year-old doll." Yes, there are thousands of inns and restaurants in our Shu family, but if our daughter goes to our own inn, my father will not secretly let people take care of my daughter, so how should my daughter grow up? ”
These days, following Shu Zicheng outside to run, Shu Qing has already seen through Shu Zicheng's little tricks, she can be so comfortable outside, not all because Shu Zicheng is behind to protect her.
Shu Zicheng was noncommittal, he really didn't dare to guarantee this, after all, it was an instinct as a father, and he couldn't ignore his daughter's comfort.
Shu Qing thought for a moment, and then said: "Dad, do you want a place where nothing can be achieved and the wind blows down, or do you want a daughter who has a successful career and is brave and decisive?" Dad, you will leave me one day, have you ever thought about what will happen if you continue like this, and one day your daughter will leave your protection? ”
Shu Qing's words pierced Shu Zicheng's heart.
Shu Zicheng was speechless for a while, he only thought that he could protect her for a while, but he didn't think about it for so long.
"Why don't I make an agreement with my father?" Shu Qing smiled slightly, and took the initiative to give Shu Zicheng a step, "Dad gave his daughter three months, if the business of the house in the clouds has not improved in these three months, the daughter will come back from the house in the clouds, and since then obediently obey the arrangement of the father, what does the father think?" ”
Shu Zicheng pursed his lips and approved with difficulty: "Okay, three months, a word is a decision." ”
In the past three months, it should be Shu Qing who has traveled outside and traveled the world.
