Chapter 39: Miss Ming's Business
Ming's girl's name is Ming Siyu, because she was born on the road, her nickname is Lu Lu, and later Old Master Xiao felt that Lu Lu was not good, so he helped her change to Lulu. Speaking of which, she is also half an apprentice of Old Master Xiao.
Although Miss Ming learned some of the ways of a saint from Old Master Xiao, she didn't know how to be a sage at all, but she was as talented as her mother in business. Miss Ming is not only in business, but also in a well-known business.
"Lulu, I heard that you have made a lot of money recently, how about it, when will you invite Uncle Xiao to eat the wine you brewed yourself?" Old Master Xiao saw Miss Ming settling accounts on the counter from a distance, and joked with a smile.
It turned out that this Ming girl was in the business of making wine and selling wine. If she were to say that her liquor shop was doing a thriving business, it was not in a market town, but on a road with a little more pedestrians.
However, people in the know still know that Miss Ming's liquor store already has a branch in the town, which was opened recently.
"Oh, Uncle Xiao, why are you here, come and sit down, I'll let Lao Yan cook a few dishes and give you a taste of our newly baked knives from the cellar."
"It's really a coincidence that I came early, old man, I just got greedy, and I have wine to drink, or our Lulu loves me the most."
"I don't care who Uncle Xiao hurts, Lulu is the only one left in this life now." Miss Ming's eyes were red when she said this.
Old Master Xiao knew that this child was missing her father. His Xiao family and the Ming family were originally world friends, and it has been three generations since his grandfather. Originally, she had agreed with her father that she would marry her children and prepare for the wedding, but she didn't expect her father to die suddenly, which delayed the wedding, and this delay, Ming Siyu, who had no good impression of Xiao Wuyu, was even more reluctant to marry Xiao Wuyu.
"Hi...... How can Lulu say this, you are so young and so handsome, and you still want to find me a good son-in-law and give birth to a bunch of grandsons and granddaughters, and it won't hurt the old man and me. ”
"Uncle Xiao...... why are you saying these things again?" Miss Ming lowered her head and twisted, looking very embarrassed, but it showed her delicate charm even more.
Look carefully, this Ming girl is about 20 years old, with bright black hair, tied into a few small braids hanging down to the waist, a pair of golden phoenix triangular eyes, two bent willow leaves hanging eyebrows, a pair of pink peach cheeks, a cherry lips, the body is like a swallow dancing green lotus, the body is like a phoenix perched on the bright moon, and the end is a beauty that is one in a million.
"Okay, let's not talk about that, talk about your business. I heard that your business has been booming lately, can you tell the old man what is the secret? ”
"Oh, Uncle Xiao, do you really don't know or fake don't know?"
"I guess...... Guanghua Temple? ”
"Well, that's right, because of the temple fair there, a lot of people came to our neighborhood, and some people tasted my wine and thought it was good, so they helped me sell it back for free, and there was a staff member who bought a hundred jars at once." Miss Ming said happily as she invited Old Master Xiao into the backyard.
"A hundred altars? Who is this? It takes so much at once. ”
"It's a place called Luo Guizhuang, not far from us, and the owner's family seems to be surnamed Chen." In the back room, Miss Ming approached and said to Old Master Xiao with a smile.
"Luo Guizhuang? Oh, I remember, the previous family's surname was Luo, and then the family suddenly declined and was forced to sell the house. So, this person surnamed Chen is the owner of the house? ”
"Seems yes, but I haven't found out where he came from yet. But none of that matters to me, I just need to know that he's my big customer. ”
"That's right, Lulu does business, you only need to know so much to do business." Old Master Xiao was a little disappointed, he vaguely suspected that the Ming family was also related to the secrets guarded by their Xiao family, and he had tried to Ming Siyu's father in a roundabout way, but he didn't get a response. However, when Ming Siyu's father was still alive, he would always provide him with some information he wanted, except for the information he wanted to know.
"However, I do know another interesting thing, I wonder if Uncle Xiao is interested in learning about it?" Miss Ming looked at Old Master Xiao meaningfully, just as when her father provided information.
Old Master Xiao was nervous by her eyes, did she do it on purpose? "Huh...... Tell me, let my old man see and understand. ”
"Among those who went to Guanghua Temple last time, many of them did not come out, and there is still no news." In fact, she knew that those who didn't come out should have died inside, she had actually gone in, but stopped halfway, and then came out early.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? How do you know? ”
"You didn't go to the Buddha meeting that day? Let me tell you, that Jade Buddha is really amazing...... "Ming Siyu gushed about what he saw and heard that day, as if he had suddenly become a peasant girl.
Old Master Xiao listened to these absentmindedly, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked, "Have you seen Monk Huicheng in the temple that day?" ”
"I've seen it, I've seen it, and the Buddha meeting is presided over by him."
"Really? Tell me about his presiding. "Old Master Xiao actually wants to know if this Huicheng has shown a treasure map at the Buddha meeting.
However, Ming Siyu's account disappointed him again, and according to her description, Huicheng didn't show anything at all that day, except for the Jade Buddha.
Old Master Xiao fell into deep thought, in this way, he would definitely not be able to get back the treasure map alone, and he would not be able to fight them. The point is that I don't know who I can trust at the moment. Could it be that His Majesty Emperor Xu really handed over such a secret to his father, a weak scholar, to guard it alone? Is there really no other clue? If this is really the case, he is old and sick, fighting alone, even his son does not support him, and he does not know everything about his opponent, can this secret be guarded? In fact, this secret is the treasure map, what secret is there if the treasure map is gone? However, I lost the treasure map, and I must find it back so that I can live up to my father's teachings. Old Master Xiao has always held this belief. He decided to take a gamble and give it a try.
"Lulu, your father was alive...... Or did you confess anything before you died? It is...... What do you have to keep in mind? ”
Ming Siyu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Uncle Xiao asked what is this for?" ”
Old Master Xiao looked at Ming Siyu's eyes seriously, "If there is, I hope you can tell me truthfully, because your Uncle Xiao is now facing a big trouble."
Ming Siyu thought for a while and said, "Uncle Xiao has any trouble that Lulu needs to help solve, Lulu must help, but Lulu doesn't understand, what does this have to do with her father's last words?" In fact, she was already a euphemism to say that her father had a last word.
"Lulu, do you know that your grandfather and my father used to be comrades?" This is what Old Master Xiao heard his father say.
"Uh...... I've never heard of this, I only know that Uncle Xiao's family and my family are world friends. ”
"What I said is true, my father told me personally, he and your grandfather used to work together in the palace of Emperor Xu Shouhui of Tianwan, he is in charge of writing, and your grandfather is the steward of the imperial dining room."
Speaking of Xu Shouhui, Ming Siyu was finally moved. "I see, so why did they settle here together?" This is tantamount to admitting that he is also a guardian secret, which immediately makes Old Master Xiao excited.
"Because they are all guarding a secret for His Majesty Emperor Xu. The secret of our Xiao family is a picture, and there is a sentence that needs to be passed down from generation to generation: 'Keep the foundation of loyalty and the way of filial piety and righteousness, and you must not open it privately until the last resort to save the people of Limin.'" Old Master Xiao decided to fully trust Miss Ming and tell her the secret that she was already facing a crisis.
Ming Siyu was not very surprised when he heard this, but he seemed to have finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, Uncle Xiao, I will also tell you that my father warned me before his death that I must abide by the orders of His Majesty Emperor Xu, and brew and burn knife wine here for generations, and do not forget to accumulate thick and thin, so as to wait for those who are destined." ”
Old Master Xiao was overjoyed, but he didn't expect his conjecture to be right. In this way, I have more strength. As far as he knew, although this Ming girl was a winemaker and a wine seller, she had actually inherited her leadership prestige and foundation from her mother, and she had a group of loyal and capable men available in her winery and winery, and her strength was not to be underestimated in this area. You must know that this burnt knife wine used to be not in everyone's taste in the local area, and only a few people liked to drink some, and if you rely on this business alone, you can't support people. Therefore, Miss Ming's mother has developed a variety of businesses, especially the old rice wine, which is also selling considerably. What he didn't know was that her mother was not only in the wine business, but also in the intelligence business, and of course this business was also inherited by Ming Siyu, she not only inherited it, but also improved the burning knife wine, and suddenly increased the sales, if nothing changed, in a few years, she would be a little rich woman.
