Chapter 15: Giving
Without waiting for Ah Mu to speak, Jiang Chen had already taken the lead in explaining:
"Mother, the ancestor has not returned from going out today, and the special order Chen'er took the ninth sister to eat together. โ
Hearing that Ancestor Jiang didn't forget Amu when he went out, so loving, Mrs. Jiang was depressed for a while, but when she thought of the reason why Ancestor went out, she couldn't help but be worried.
Jiang Chen saw the uneasiness between her eyebrows, and couldn't help but care:
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Ah Mu on the side, and stopped talking.
Just as Amu was about to take the initiative to retire with interest, he heard her speak:
"The Treasure Pavilion is moving to East Main Streetโ"
Jumbo Pavilion?
Amu had never heard of it and had no impression.
Jiang Chen was surprised: "What? Okay, why ...... at this juncture?"
Mrs. Jiang sighed: "That Treasure Pavilion is the property of the Ding family......"
The Treasure Pavilion is the property of the Ding family, and the East Street is the base camp of the Luo family.
Jiang Chen, who knew the relationship well, understood it as soon as he heard it.
"The Treasure Pavilion is one of the most popular shops on Central Street, and the annual tax should be the highest in the entire street, if it leaves Central Street, the City Lord's Mansion will probably lose a lot of income!"
Jiang Chen could understand this, and Mrs. Jiang was very pleased. She added:
"Not only that, Jumbo Pavilion has been in operation on Central Street for hundreds of years, and has always been the most attractive shop on Central Street, and if it moves to East Street, I am afraid that the flow of people on Central Street will be greatly reduced. Under the elimination of one and the other, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Central Street has always been the most prosperous place in Yecheng, the main source of income for the city lord's mansion, and the basis for the city lord's status to surpass the three major families.
If the Central Street declines, so that the Luo family's East Street can prosper, the position of the city lord of Yecheng will be useless in the future, and with the support of the Ding family, he Luo family may become the uncrowned king of Yecheng!
This must not be allowed to happen!
Jiang Chen thought for a moment and proposed, "Mother, if the Treasure Pavilion insists on moving out, why don't we build one ourselves?"
Mrs. Jiang frowned: "This matter is easy to say, but how easy is it to do? That Treasure Pavilion has been developed by the Ding family for nearly a thousand years, and has penetrated almost every city on the mainland, with so much power and abundant resources, we can't imagine it at all!"
Jiang Chen was puzzled: "No matter how grand its scale is, its influence in Yecheng is limited after all, could it be that our Jiang family can't beat them in their home stadium?"
"Why do you think the Treasure Pavilion is so popular in Yecheng? it can provide you with everything you want, even," Madame Jiang squinted her eyes at Ah Mu, "Even the legendary shark silk, they have it." โ
Amu raised his little face and looked at Mrs. Jiang with an innocent and innocent expression.
Mrs. Jiang paused, realizing that she seemed to have gone too far.
Amu is just a child, what can she understand?
That shark silk is also the ancestor's own thing, no matter who you give it to others, it is understandable, what kind of anger is this?
After calming down, she continued:
"Among the four super families, if the cultivation of the Ding family is far inferior to the Yang family, the Yun family and the Qi family, even so, no one dares to underestimate them.
Most of the Ding family members are very talented in business, and for thousands of years, after countless generations of development, their business territory has spread to every corner of the continent, and there are their shops in the mortal realm and the immortal cultivation realm. Allegedly, they also had business dealings with the Kraken. โ
Hearing this, Ah Mu's heart moved.
It was the first time in four years that she had heard from the Kraken, and it turned out that there was also a connection between humans and Kraken.
She couldn't help but wonder if she could communicate with the Kraken, would she also be able to find out about the merman?
Just as she was trying to find a way to inquire quietly, Jiang Chen was already quite interested:
"Kraken, haven't they always been disgusted with humans, why do they do business with the Ding family?"
Mrs. Jiang shook her head: "No one will refuse the immediate benefits. Besides, this is just a rumor, Xu saw that they could take out the shark silk, so he made such a conjecture. โ
Jiang Chen immediately looked at Amu and asked hesitantly, "How did the ancestor ......?"
Mrs. Jiang and her son looked at each other and did not say any more.
I'm afraid only the ancestor himself knows about this.
Amu heart: I'm sorry Grandpa Jiang, it seems that you have to carry this pot all the time......
After saying goodbye to Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Chen, Amu returned to Jiang Laozu's courtyard, and not long after, he saw Jiang Laozu returning with a solemn expression.
It seems that the matter of the Treasure Pavilion is really serious.
Amu thought about it, but still asked:
"Grandpa Jiang, but what happened?"
Seeing Amu, Jiang Laozu's expression softened a lot, waved his hand, and said softly: "It's okay, it's not early, you can rest first." โ
He is still only a five-year-old child, and he really can't help much, so he still doesn't make trouble for Grandpa Jiang.
So Amu nodded: "Grandpa Jiang, then I'll go back to the room first." โ
Seeing Ah Mu turn around and leave, Jiang Lao Zu suddenly stopped her again: "Ah Mu!"
Amu turned around and asked.
Jiang Laozu's expression was a little hesitant, as if he was hesitating about something, and he said after a long time:
"Recently, there have been some problems on Central Street......"
Ah Mu had already heard Mrs. Jiang talk about this matter once, and there was no impatience to listen to it again at this time.
It's just a little curious, looking at Grandpa Jiang's expression, he shouldn't have planned to tell himself this, what does he mean by saying this now?
Ah Mu patiently listened to him, and seeing that he was a little hesitant again, he took the initiative to ask, "Grandpa Jiang, is there anything Ah Mu can help?"
This obvious look of asking for others, Amu really can't pretend to be invisible, and he still has a good impression of Jiang Laozu and the Jiang family, if there is really anything he can help, he will try his best to help within his ability.
Jiang Lao Zu sighed: "It is a foregone conclusion that the Treasure Pavilion will move away from Central Street, for the sake of today's plan, the only way to build another shop is to build another store as soon as possible, even if it can't be compared with the Treasure Pavilion, there must be something that can attract everyone's attention-
However, with the strength of my Jiang family, there are very few good things that have been collected, even if we add the treasures of my clan, the attraction is far from enough, but they are all ordinary thingsโโ"
He looked at Amu and was embarrassed to say more.
Amu was somewhat enlightened.
She remembered that at the city lord's seal ceremony, everyone in the field reacted more when they saw their shark than when they saw the seven-grade spirit weapon, although for themselves, this shark silk was really not a good thing, it had accumulated a lot over the years, but it seemed to be quite precious to humans?
She asked, "Grandpa Jiang, I don't know how Amu's shark silk is, maybe it will provide some chips for the Jiang family's shop?"
This sentence asked Jiang Laozu's heart, but it was really not a gentleman's job to ask for something from a five-year-old child, and Jiang Laozu couldn't open his mouth for a long time.
What's more, if you take Amu's things, how will you explain to Lin Lao in the future?
