"Little friend, I have heard a lot about you, will you leave in this Banyan City soon?" Mrs. Liu remembered what the master had said, looked at Xiaoba and asked softly.

"Let's stay in Banyan City for the time being"

"That's great, if you don't dislike it, you can live in my humble house with a few people, I pride myself on my cooking skills, you will like to eat what you should do" Mrs. Liu heard Xiaoba say that she was not in a hurry to leave Rongcheng, and was immediately overjoyed, if Xiaoba and others were going to leave Rongcheng soon, they would have to find a way to keep him for a day or two, but they didn't expect them to continue to stay in Rongcheng, and the lord said that they were in a hurry, and they would not stay long along the way.

"Thank you Mrs. Liu for your kindness, we are now living in Xiangmanlou, and the A-shaped room arranged by the shopkeeper of Yongxi is very good, so we don't have to move here to trouble you."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes, but it quickly dissipated, and she whispered with a smile.

"If it's a fragrant room full of buildings, naturally you don't have to choose, just a few people can live comfortably."

After a few polite greetings, Xiao Yu'er couldn't sit still, just sat on the chair and looked around, now he jumped off the chair and walked to Xiao Ba's side, grabbed Xiao Ba's clothes with his little hands, muttered quietly, and sat so bored.

Xiaoba whispered to reassure Xiao Yu'er, saying that it would be good to sit for a while longer.

This scene was seen by the attentive Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu turned her head to look at Liu Qianqian, waved her hand, Liu Qianqian immediately informed her mother of her meaning, and walked to Xiaoba lightly and said softly.

"Will my sister take you to play?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu'er turned her head and looked at the delicate and moving young lady in front of her, and then looked at Xiao Ba, wanting to see what Xiao Ba said, seeing Xiao Ba nodded, Xiao Yu'er smiled with a small mouth, and happily followed Liu Qianqian out of the main hall.

"I'd like to go for a walk, too!" At this time, You Zifang said as if he couldn't sit still.

Xiaoba looked up at You Zifang, there was some helplessness in his eyes, but he still nodded, You Zifang got up and nodded at Mrs. Liu and walked out of the main hall.

After a while, only Xiaoba and Mrs. Liu were left in the main hall.

"I'm sorry, they're all people who can't sit still," Hachi said helplessly.

"It's okay, Xiaoyou can just treat this place as your own home, how convenient is it" Mrs. Liu smiled and took a sip of the teacup.

Then the two fell into an awkward silence, as if they were both waiting for the other to speak, and finally it was Mrs. Liu who broke the silence and spoke.

"The master was arranged to go to Xiaoshi Town, and I and a mother and daughter were left in this house, which was a little lonely"

Xiaoba was confused by such a sentence, and he didn't know how to respond, but he remembered that Liu Yongxing was the Xiaoshi Town arranged by Liu Yongxi to manage the Duanyi Restaurant, so he asked.

"Why didn't Madame take Asashi with her?" Since the old man went over there to manage the restaurant, why didn't his wife and daughter go with him, this is also a question that Xiaoba had at the beginning, when he was in Duanyi Restaurant, when he heard Liu Yongxing talk about his wife and daughter in Rongcheng, he was a little puzzled.

"We also want to go with the master, but the situation does not allow it," Mrs. Liu said this, her face was sad, and she didn't seem to know whether to say it or not.

After a period of struggle, Mrs. Liu spoke again.

"Liu Yongxi is now the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou, and he is the boss of the Yongzi generation, these are the rules he set, the clansmen who go out to run the restaurant in other places are not allowed to bring their relatives with them, because the clansmen will be transferred to different places, and the lord will not stay in Xiaoshi Town forever."

"Back then, the lord actually managed this Xiangmanlou, but during the management period, he was squeezed by a lot of Chen and Ma, and the industrial business in Rongcheng declined sharply, and later the family sent Liu Yongxi to manage the Xiangmanlou, and the lord was arranged by him to go to Xiaoshi Town to manage the Duanyi Restaurant" Mrs. Liu said with her eyebrows lowered.

"But I see that Liu Yongxi is in charge of Xiangmanlou, and he seems to be bullied by the Ma family on weekdays" Xiaoba was puzzled, because he saw Ma Quanyou finding fault with Liu's pawn shop a few days ago.

"After the master was transferred, the actual revenue in Rongcheng was not much higher than before, on the contrary, the revenue of various industries was still decreasing," Mrs. Liu said calmly to surprise Xiaoba.

"Then why didn't the family transfer Liu Yongxi away?" Hachi asked.

......

In the face of questioning, Mrs. Liu was silent, her face showed a strange color, and then she stood up, walked to the door of the main hall, closed the wooden door, and sat back in the main seat and whispered.

"Not only the revenue of the Rongcheng industry, as long as it is the area in charge of Liu Yongxi, the revenue is getting smaller and smaller, but the older generation of the family not only does not blame him, but on the contrary, they value him more and more, to be honest, I have heard the old man complain a few times, and even the old man secretly inquired about some news, but these news do not know whether they are true or false, and I am not easy to say."

"After all, this is talking about the master's brother, and now the shopkeeper of the Xiangmanlou" Mrs. Liu's tone was full of resentment, although she hid it deeply, but it was still noticed by Xiao Hachi, Xiao Hachi could feel that she actually wanted to say it, but she was worried about something, so she hesitated.

Xiaoba was a little strange in his heart, when he first met Liu Yongxing in Duanyi Restaurant, he had a connection with their Changyuan Liu family, until now he came to Rongcheng, he has always felt that the Changyuan Liu family is quite united, and the internal forces of the family help each other, but I didn't expect to hear what Mrs. Liu said, it seems that there are a lot of complaints about the family.

According to Xiaoba's feelings, Liu Yongxi should be the deepest and most powerful one among the several Liu shopkeepers he knows, as for why the revenue of the industry under his management is declining, I am afraid that only a few core people in their family know that they are an outsider, why do they know this.

"Madam, I'm just an outsider, Changyuan Liu is a big family, I don't know much about the things in this family" Xiao Ba thought for a moment and then spoke, reminding Mrs. Liu that he didn't have to tell an outsider about these things, he knew that since Mrs. Liu said this in front of him, she must have her purpose, but he didn't want to participate in these disturbances.

"Also, it's me who is too talkative!" When Mrs. Liu heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she said apologetically on her face, but then she suddenly changed her words and asked something that made Xiaoba confused, "Xiaoyou, what do you think of our family's shallowness?" ”

Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment when he heard the other party's question, obviously he didn't expect Mrs. Liu to suddenly ask such a sentence, Xiao Ba recalled what Liu Yongqing said in the Huaixiang Restaurant in Qucheng, the Liu family likes to recruit sons-in-law to protect the family business and arm the family, is it possible that Mrs. Liu thinks the same way.
