Luo Xun closed his eyes, slowly shook the drunkard's chair, and said slowly: "These people are all some relatives of your Zhu family, I think Zhu Yanfeng used to want to raise them for nothing." But these people didn't care about it later! It's just that they don't when they stand in the pit, and the most important thing is that they are not obedient!

"They don't obey, point fingers, rely on the old and sell the old, and make decisions randomly, they are all elders. If this relationship is not handled well, it may be infamous among relatives and create a bad reputation for not getting along with relatives outside.

"Zhu Yanfeng's kid just can't manage these things, so he makes these people more and more excessive. Your grandfather is a fool, and he meddles in the children's business too much, Zhu Yanfeng is like being hung up as a disguise, not giving power, and still bearing the name of the manager of the Zhu family's money house, the black pot is all carried by him, tsk, pitiful. ”

Luo Xun's slow voice contained a bit of schadenfreude, but the content was penetrating and the analysis was to the point.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "The master treasure sword is not old, what you said is right. Brother Feng is also strange and pitiful. ”

"Alas, this is also a lack of ability, and I can't blame others. You were seven or eight years old when you were in charge of the money bank, and your subordinates were the same people, and you were able to get the first pot of gold and go out to open your own Chang'an money bank, and you were also ripped up as a cover at that time, and you didn't make trouble like him. ”

"That's different." Zhu Youning pursed his lips and laughed, "At that time, Qian Zhuang was not profitable, and there were not so many eyes staring. The teacher is partial to me, so he will say this. ”

"There is no impartiality in the human heart. is more pleasing to the eye than other apprentices. Luo Xun smiled, sat up slightly upright and took a sip of tea, "Don't look at my old man eating and waiting for death in the academy all day long, I know what is going on outside." ”

The old man with distinct bones clenched his fist in his fist, and an index finger pointed at his temples with age spots.

"Tell me, how are you going to use people?"

Zhu Youning smiled and said, "Master, I just promoted Cousin Feng to be the chief shopkeeper of Chang'an Qianzhuang. ”

Luo Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then put down the tea bowl, patted his thighs and laughed.

"You girl, it's really bad, it's bad!"

The old man was short of breath, Luo Xun couldn't make a sound when he smiled, Zhu Youning smiled while giving Luo Xun a smooth breath, for fear that he would hold back.

"What's wrong with me? In fact, I also value Cousin Feng's talent. In the past, he didn't have room to perform, but in the future, he became the chief shopkeeper of Chang'an Qianzhuang, and he was in charge of the big shopkeepers everywhere, so he could develop his talents, so as not to make him Mingzhu secretly cast it. ”

"You, too, bluff outsiders."

Luo Xun smiled enough, happily raised three fingers, and his eyes were shining.

"First, promoting him is equivalent to promoting the most representative talent of the Zhu family, and then you start to clean up those relatives, so that people will not say that you are excluding the Zhu family.

"Second, even if those relatives near and far in your family hate you, you can make a gesture of holding together with your own family, what anger those people have, your second uncle will naturally bear it, doesn't your second uncle protect his son?

"Third, and most importantly, you annexed the Zhu family's money village this time, exposing your own identity, and the limelight is too big, and there are few people outside who are red-eyed, and say behind your back that you betrayed the family, everyone knows that Zhu Yanfeng is your grandfather's favored grandson, and you promoted him to be loyal to your grandfather, so you can block the mouth of Youyou, right?"

Zhu Youning's cheeks were deeply dimple with a smile, "You can't hide anything from your teacher." ”

"Hahaha, good, good, and live up to my old man's teachings and expectations of you. You're doing a great job. In the future, you have to act like this, neither suffer losses nor be a bad person, at least not be a bad person in the eyes of others.

"This person, how to live is a lifetime, but to be a good person in the evaluation of a person for a lifetime, you are in a good mood, isn't it?"

"Yes. Follow the teachings of your teacher. Zhu Youning bowed solemnly. Then he returned to his relaxed appearance and sat opposite Luo Xun, "On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, I may not be able to accompany my mentor for the New Year." ”

"Yes, your family moved back, how's it going? Is your mom and dad still adapting? ”

"It's not very adaptable, after all, I'm used to being comfortable outside. But I don't think there's anything wrong with this, if people are comfortable for too long, it's easy to be unable to bear things when they encounter problems, so getting along with people like this, the brain will not be dull. ”

Luo Xun smiled and nodded, "Your father's heart is not ruthless enough, his hands are not black enough, he reads too much, and his moral requirements for others are high." Such a good person is actually very good, but it is a pity that he is rooted in the wrong place. But he's a little blessed to have you as a girl. ”

"The teacher praised me for not being able to afford it. As for me, I am ruthless, my hands are black, I don't read much, and I don't have high moral requirements for others and myself, where am I so good. Zhu Youning pouted and tilted his chin, looking very angry.

Luo Xun was amused by her and laughed again. When people are old, they like to get along with their juniors, and they like to see the vigorous and lively appearance of their juniors. Especially Zhu Youning is a child he watched grow up and taught with his own hands.

"If you want to say that you are ruthless, I will admit this with my old man, if you say that you don't read much and your moral requirements are not high, are you afraid that your teacher will cry and faint in the yamen of the capital?"

The big hand pointed at Zhu Youning's forehead, "You, you are so tossed, it's not all for your teacher." ”

Zhu Youning touched his forehead and laughed.

The two chatted for a while and played another game of chess.

Zhu Youning's chess master inherited the southern chess king Qu Xingfan Qu's teacher, and Luo Xun couldn't win her when he was serious, so Zhu Youning was also very skillful in releasing water, and the master and apprentice fought for a long time, and Zhu Youning only lost one.

Luo Xun was so happy that he ate half a bowl more for dinner.

After dinner, the two walked around the courtyard twice together, and the old man waved his hand: "Go, go, your house has more rules now, don't let those uninformed people talk about you behind your back when you go back late." ”

"I'm not afraid to say I, if someone scolds me, I'll move my teacher out, who of them dares to make a mistake?"

"You little fox, haha!" Luo Xun laughed again.

Zhu Youning said innocently: "The teacher is a big tiger, and I am naturally a little fox." ”

"Go, go, let's talk to you for a while, I want to sleep at night, refreshed."

Luo Xun urged Zhu Youning to go back, and instructed Chang Sui Simo beside him: "You go and send the girl." Send it home. ”

"Yes." Si Mo smiled and nodded, holding a lantern to lead the way.

Zhu Youning took Dou Wanwan and Bai Ling to walk behind, and asked after becoming a monk: "How is the teacher's health recently?" Does the rice smell good? I just saw that my teacher didn't use it much. ”

Si Mo said with a smile: "It is true that the old mountain chief Luo does not have the amount of food he used to eat, but the doctor you arranged for him to come every three days to check the pulse of the old mountain chief, and the doctor said that the old mountain chief is quite tough, and for the nearly 100-year-old old man, the old mountain chief is very rare." ”

"yes." Zhu Youning smiled and nodded, and then sighed softly.

Luo Xun is ninety-nine years old, although he looks tough and his mind is clear, but who can say for sure? Zhu Youning cherishes the affection between their teachers and students, and her seven teachers are very good to her, and she can't bear any of them, especially Master Luo.

It seems that she needs to care more about her old teacher, and she has to write letters to the other six teachers when she goes back, so that her heart can be at ease.

returned to Wei Ruixuan, and as soon as he entered the door, the mandarin duck came to him.

Zhu Youning looked at the bright lights of the main room and asked in a low voice, "There are guests?" ”

"The second wife is here and is talking to her in the house." The mandarin duck handed the hand warmer to Zhu Youning, followed Zhu Youning all the way, and whispered all the way: "The master and the wife had an unpleasant quarrel in the afternoon, for the sake of Brother Zhuang's schooling, and the young lady will persuade him later." ”

"I see." Zhu Youning smiled approvingly at the mandarin duck, and when the person arrived at the porch, Bailing picked up a warm curtain of oleander for her.
