Duan Lan's eyes flickered, and he smiled: "Xiao Jiu is young, he still has a lot of ideas, his daughter's family, she is justifiably a girl, and it is not enough to have food and clothing, so she wants to find herself to spoil herself, show up to do business, and grab jobs with men, how ugly it will be to spread it." I advise you not to have so much thought. ”

Duan Ling'er also smiled and looked at Duan Lan with a foolish look.

It seems to be laughing at the more thoughtful than the thoughtful, among the hundreds of people in this mansion, who has more thoughts than the eldest girl Duan Lan?

Duan Lan's face turned pale in an instant, she understood Duan Ling'er's eyes, and she blocked her heart in one breath and couldn't swallow it.

Duan Xiang was already angry, and said sharply: "You girl, you are deliberately here to stir up the situation today, a good banquet, even the chopsticks haven't moved, my father and mother have been made blue by you, dead girl, you are really a scourge!" ”

Duan Ling'er's eyes were calm and contemptuous, ignoring her.

"What do you want?" Duan Tianya looked at the jade wrench on his thumb and turned it slightly in half a circle.

Duan Ling'er looked at her father's eyes, she wanted to get back everything that belonged to herself, to her mother and brother, to open a corner of her current momentum in Duan's mansion, and then spread out a face.

Yan Yan laughed out loud and said slowly: "Father, our Duanfu business is so big, and my brothers go south and north, but in Kyushu, there is not a restaurant with a Duanzi signboard. ”

Everyone couldn't help but star, but Duan Tianya stared at his daughter in front of him.

He actually thought about opening a restaurant for a long time, but he was suffering from the fact that there were no people under his command who could really calm down and study the food, and there were no trustworthy guys.

His sons and daughters are all focused on the big business that can associate with the dignitaries, and none of them are willing to calm down to learn how to stir-fry and cook, to deal with ordinary people, hunters, and cooks.

The eldest lady lowered her eyebrows and looked at a turquoise gold bracelet on her wrist, then raised her eyes and looked at Duan Ling'er in a complicated manner, weighing in her heart how much ability this concubine had, calculating whether this concubine was suitable for her own use.

Duan Xiao, who had been silent, took a basin full of raspberries from the girl's hand, put it on the table in front of Duan Tianya and the eldest lady, turned his head and said to Duan Ling'er: "Sister Ling! Do you think restaurants are so good? If you don't really know how to cook, if you don't know how to cook and stir-fry, you accidentally eat someone to death, and you eat someone who is sick, and it is easy to sue for your life! ”

Duan Ling'er nodded: "My sister is right, I also know this." ”

Xiao Su was already in a hurry, and he couldn't persuade Duan Tianya, so he immediately set his eyes on the eldest lady, and said: "Madam, Xiao Jiu is whimsical, she is a girl, she was still a Huangkou child two years ago, how could she show up and open a restaurant!" Madame must stop this kind of absurd thing. ”

Duan Xiang glanced at Duan Ling'er coldly, and said, "Xiao Jiu is ambitious, thinking that everything will be fine if he gets a jade bracelet by chance, and he actually put forward such a ridiculous joke, father, Xiang'er thinks that Xiao Jiu should still be grounded." ”

Xiao Su nodded and agreed: "Xiao Jiu, you always want to get married, if you marry, isn't our Duan family's property handed over to others for nothing?" In any case, you are a woman, you can't show your head! It's detrimental to the family style! ”

Duan Tianya deliberately swept his throat, and then started to speak: "Xiao Jiu, what your aunt said is right, you are the daughter of the Duan family, how can you show up to do business?" ”

The daughters-in-law and girls at the banquet whispered, thinking that Duan Ling'er was really unorthodox.

Duan Ling'er was willing to give in, her eyes flashed: "Father, although you have worked hard over the years, our industry has been rising, but on the contrary, our industry needs the support of high-ranking officials and nobles to spread out. But there is one thing, which is unavoidable for everyone, the royal family, and ordinary people can't help but eat cereals. Meals are what the people need most. ”

The eldest lady was about to speak, but Duan Tianya waved her hand and stopped her.

Duan Ling'er continued: "There are a lot of restaurants in Yangzhou, but there are only a handful of cheap and delicious ones, if you say that you show up, your daughter only needs to know people with her eyes and hire people who are knowledgeable and reliable. ”

The eldest lady said a few absurdities, and everyone in the front hall followed suit.

I saw Shen Shi walk to the center of the main hall and kneel down to Duan Tianya: "Master, please give us a chance in the ninth room." ”

Duan Yu also knelt down: "Father, please give us a chance." ”

The three people in the ninth room plus An Niang knelt on the ground, tilting their heads and not giving in.

This kind of shock, Duan Tianya has not encountered it again for a long time.

"Xiao Jiu, if you want to live a better life, our industries can give you dividends, why do you have to do it yourself? The daughter of the Duan family opened a restaurant in Yangzhou, who heard it and didn't laugh? Xiao Su's eyes looked at Duan Ling'er, deeply buried with disgust and hatred.

Duan Ling'er raised her eyes and looked at everyone with clear eyes: "Self-reliance, earning living capital, why do you think it's ridiculous?" ”

Duan Ling'er didn't give people any respite, she looked straight at Duan Tianya: "Father, a few days ago, Xiao Jiu was watching fish in the garden, and a few maids said that Xiao Jiu looked very much like you, probably not only because of his appearance, but also because of Xiao Jiu's personality and ambitions. Although Xiao Jiu is a woman, she also has the ambitions of the Duan clan and the blood of the Duan clan. ”

After the first and second columns, there were Duan Mansion's daughters-in-law and the people below, all of whom had different expressions and could speak in the clan, Duan Ling'er swept over quickly, most of them lowered their eyebrows and were pleasing to their eyes, under the prestige of Duan Mansion, the daughters-in-law couldn't seem to remember who was who.

Since Duan Ling'er made a request, the whispering at the table has not stopped, and the people behind can't wait to take a look at this Fujiu girl.

"Xiao Jiu is indeed shocking." Duan Tianya, who was sitting at the top, coughed, and his cold eyes swept over the other children present.

A smile flashed in the corner of Duan Lan's eyes, and the whispers behind him stopped for a moment, and then buzzed again.

Duan Tianya glanced at everyone, and his voice immediately went down.

Duan Ling'er, whose waist was straight, clenched her fingers involuntarily, and then let go calmly.

In front of the public, if you don't get back what belongs to you, you still keep trembling, this shows that you are weak and can be bullied, Jiufang has no face at all, in the eyes of these people, Jiufang is nothing.

A confident smile appeared on the corner of Duan Ling'er's mouth, she knew Duan Tianya, or he understood what the old foxes who had been in business for many years thought.

And she also wants to gamble that she will be reborn and have no chance to re-establish a father-daughter relationship with her father.

"Little Nine." Duan Tianya stood up and seemed to have an idea.

The eldest lady's face changed slightly, her smile froze in mid-air, and she stood up straight and didn't sit down.

Duan Lan's gaze on the side couldn't wait to eat Duan Ling'er, standing there hanging his hands and not knowing what to do, but finally picked up the silver pot next to him with one hand, poured a full cup again, and then glared at Duan Ling'er and drank it himself.

Duan Lan was almost out of breath.

He is obviously the most dazzling, why is Xiao Jiu stealing the limelight now, and he still wants to be the most special one.

It's just unbearable!

"Your request is understood by the Father." Duan Tianya obviously ignored the eldest daughter's resentment, he turned his gaze, closed the tea bowl in a trace of the rising fragrance of tea, handed the tea bowl to the maid behind him, and said to several sons, "Although you have traveled from south to north, none of you can calm down, and now Xiao Jiu has put forward what he has thought about his father for many years......

Suddenly, a sobbing sound interrupted Duan Tianya, and everyone looked at it, Duan Xiao, who had been speechless, cried into tears: "Father...... I think, I miss my mother...... I also want to start my own business......"

Duan Tianya was stunned for a moment, and Xiao Su immediately said: "Yes, Sister Xiao'er is now her biological mother, if the girls in our house can do their own business, then Sister Xiao can also support herself, do you still need to be raised by Mrs.?" It's nonsense! ”

Duan Ling'er finally realized the strangeness of Duan Xiao at this time, she took a deep look at Duan Xiao, but she still felt that what was in front of her was just a child half a year younger than herself.

Are you thinking too much......?

Duan Ling'er temporarily put aside her doubts about Duan Xiao, she raised her head, just looking at Duan Tianya in front of her, this time even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of her, she didn't want her to take half a step back

The second child wanted to speak, but the boss secretly stopped him.

"Dangerous moves." Duan Tianya thought about it again and again, and opened his mouth: "Doing business is a painstaking thing, and you are afraid that your child is too optimistic." But if you bring it up, your father is willing to give it a try, but what your aunt said is not unreasonable, if everyone in this mansion goes to business, the family rules will not exist. Give you a test for the Father, and if you pass, let's talk about the following. ”

"Sir!" Xiao Su's expression stiffened, and he opened his mouth dryly.

The eldest lady raised her hand until she reached Xiao Su.

Duan Tianya's thick eyebrows were clear and heroic, and his gaze casually swept over the people in front of him: "I have four granges in the suburbs of Yangzhou, one of which has the worst harvest, raising dozens of people on the Zhuangzi, but I can't pay the public grain every year, I have been thinking about selling this Zhuangzi." Now this grange is temporarily managed by Jiufang, and in my month in the capital, if Jiufang can turn this grange into a profit and hand over twice the public grain of other granges, then it proves that Jiufang has brains. But if it's not satisfactory, Xiao Jiu, you will break your mind and be grounded for a year. ”

"Father!" Duan Yu stood up suddenly, this is too unfair, this test is obviously embarrassing.

Duan Tianya smiled slightly, he stood out from several brothers because of such a test, and opened his own world by being a concubine.

Now this daughter makes him inexplicably think of himself back then, she wants to give it a try, so let's give it a try.

"Thank you, father." Duan Ling'er raised her head with a tough face: "Xiao Jiu will definitely do his best." ”
