Cao Lie quickly went to the front, and it didn't take long for him to meet Song Ercai in the hall.

The two sat down when they saw the ceremony, and Cao Lie first asked Song Tian about his injuries, knowing that they would have to stay for a while, so that Anxin could live here, and if there was anything to do, just send someone from the house to do it.

Song Ercai thanked him, took a sip of tea and asked about what he mentioned earlier in the embroidery building.

Cao Lie was silent, and soon took Song Ercai to the study at the back.

The two sat down again, and it didn't take long for Cao Lie to tell Song Er the news he had just gotten.

The Cao family didn't even ask Cao Xu about the identity and origin of the mysterious embroidery girl, and Cao Lie naturally didn't know about it, but they all knew that the person behind it was inextricably linked to the Zhuo family.

The Zhuo family has fallen, and the embroidery workshop has been divided.

In the past two years, there have been many rumors about the outside world.

A behemoth falls, naturally there will be a lot of people to rob and eat, the embroidery workshops left behind by the embroidery line and the He family are divided into half, as well as for various reasons to live outside the steward and embroidery lady is also one by one, the industry is a little chaotic, in addition to the embroidery shop and the He family, there are also a few small forces with the Zhuo family's stitch to develop and make money.

However, Cao Lie sent someone to inquire, and from the end of last year to the present, most of those small forces have been disintegrated and collected by the He family or the Fiber Embroidery Company.

Cao Lie didn't know what the relationship between the fiber embroidery shop and the He family was private, but it was hostile on the surface.

The He family originally opened a pharmacy and a medical hall, although some people worked as doctors in Beijing, but they were still much inferior to those wealthy merchants in terms of family business, and in the past two years, those embroidery workshops of the Zhuo family have become rich and rich.

The fiber embroidery line is also, when the Zhuo family was still there, it was difficult for anyone to stand side by side in the embroidery business.

The sudden rise of these two seems to be beautiful, but in fact the structure is unstable.

After all, they all rely on the Zhuo family acupuncture method to rise, and they are very taboo about those acupuncture methods that are outcast, as long as they find that there is Zhuo family acupuncture, they will try their best to collect or destroy it.

Before the second son of the He family appeared, there were actually people from the embroidery shop who came.

It's just that at that time, they only sold some clothes and small items, and those people couldn't touch their shipments, so they didn't take any action for the time being.

Cao Lie slowly told Song Ercai about these things, including the fact that the Zhuo family still had a little girl who was not very old.

A little girl who is not very old!

Song Ercai was stunned when he heard this, and the figure of Ah Xiu appeared in his mind.

"Brother Cao, where is that little girl now? But ran away from home? ”

Song Ercai's heart was beating wildly, and he felt that he was about to get close to the truth.

It's a pity that Cao Lie shook his head and said: "After the Zhuo family fell, the little girl gave the He family access to the house, and the He family also closed the embroidery house in her name, saying that it was to continue the Zhuo family's stitching method and keep a family business." The He family and the Zhuo family were originally in-laws, although they did not get the unique yarn workshop of the Zhuo family, but because of the relationship and the daughter of the Zhuo family, the development in all aspects was also very smooth. ”

Cao Lie said and drank two sips of tea that was already a little cold, in fact, he really wanted to ask Song Ercai who was behind it, but his father told him not to ask.

The He family, the embroidery shop, and the orphan girl who lives in the He family.

Song Ercai frowned lightly, and the idea that Ah Xiu was the daughter of the Zhuo family was suppressed a little.

But if Ah Xiu is not the Zhuo family, then who is it?

Song Ercai couldn't figure it out, and the little girl was still bought when she entered the door.

"In this way, the He family can also be regarded as inheriting the family business of the Zhuo family, which can be regarded as morally orthodox."

Cao Lie nodded, and soon said with a smile: "There is no morality in the business field, the strong win, and the weak die, so the He family seems to be in the name of morality, who knows what they are doing in secret." ”

"There are many rumors about how the Zhuo family fell, and such a deep-rooted family business is gone, and there are many places worth pondering."

Song Ercai nodded in agreement, thought about it and asked: "It seems that no matter what family or the embroidery line is, it is not a good master." I wonder what Brother Cao plans to do? Or is there something that Song needs to pay attention to and help? ”

Song Ercai said it very vaguely, but his meaning was already revealed.

can control one side of the business by themselves, who is willing to succumb to others.

But if it's really right, no matter what family or the embroidery shop, it's not something they can deal with.

Song Ercai also mentioned a few words to Cao Xu before the outside business, and at that time, Old Man Cao only asked them to buy a good house in the rear and expand steadily.

Song Er felt reasonable, but he didn't expect that the business ahead was full of blood.

Song Er has ideals and ambitions, but these are all ranked behind his family, the embroidery workshop has developed very well, and he has made a lot of money, but if these things are extremely dangerous to his relatives and family, he will naturally choose to abandon it, so as to protect the stability of his family.

At the beginning, Cao Xu was reluctant to tell him too much, because he was afraid that he would have concerns.

But Song Ercai came to Fucheng, and when the second master of the He family entered the embroidery workshop in the morning, Cao Lie didn't know that person at all, and it was Song Ercai who took the initiative to mention who that person was.

Cao Lie felt that he was not completely ignorant of the situation outside, so he told these things.

But if you want to talk about their coping methods, there must be some of them.

"Shopkeeper Song doesn't need to worry about this matter, I have already arranged for someone to inform the second brother, and I will find a way to divert their attention later, as for the future, we will live in Fucheng in peace, and we will not go out to grab business with those people, and after a long time, probably no one will come to pay attention."

Song Ercai heard Ah Xiu say that when the yarn clothes are produced and have plans to be exported or go to sea, at this time, the little girl is also very familiar with the situation outside, and knows that she can't touch it, so she will go off the rails, and wait until those people realize that it is wrong, they have become bigger and stronger, and it is not easy to regret it.

"But it's been discovered by those people, and the business here in Fucheng is fine?"

Song Ercai was still worried, if their embroidery workshop sent it, Ah Xiu would definitely be taken away or arrested.

"Shopkeeper Song, rest assured, although my Cao family has no power outside, it is not so easy to break in the city."

Song Ercai nodded, since Cao Lie said it, he didn't bother to ask more, I believe that Cao Xu is not those treacherous people.

As for the rest of the matter, Cao Lie said that they would take care of everything, and the father and son just came to see the injury, and by the way, they stayed at a relative's house temporarily.

Song Ercai felt that it was the same, and when his son's wound was dry, he took him outside for a walk, entered the study, bought things, and went to the yamen to observe the annual hospital examination.

Song Tian didn't know about those matters, he was very excited, and the father and son really came to see the injury with Wang Daniu, who was carrying things, and had fun by the way.
