48. Brother is not a good thing
When got up the next day, the atmosphere was as usual. The secret road at night seemed to have never happened before. Xie Tingyue did not ask, nor did Chu Mu mention it.
During the year when relatives walked around, the Chu family's protagonists came to pay New Year's greetings. There were several tables of people for every meal, and there was a problem, which was also put on the table.
There was a second room, my fifth aunt opened his mouth: "Speaking of which, my nephew married a wife a year ago, and my second sister-in-law loved the child and handed over to Zhongkui. These elders all understand that we love our children, so we have to support some. I just waited for the accounts and so on. No one is poor and open the pot, pointing at those things to eat, but this year has passed, the nieces and daughters are in good order, there is no problem at all, people outside are praised, some accounts , Should it be cleared up too?"
This five-aunt is kind, and she speaks slowly, with a smile on her face, as if she was just a casual mention.
Sun seemed to think of something, "Yeah", the veil printed the corners of his lips, smiled and said, "My fault, my fault, get busy, forget all the important things! Nephew and daughter-in-law--"
She waved to Xie Tingyue.
The family had a meal, not avoiding big suspicions, there was no screen, everyone was sitting in the same place, Xie Tingyue and Chu Mu were not far away from her, without her beckoning, the words could be heard clearly.
Xie Tingyue smiled: "Second aunt, I am here."
"You have been in our house for a short time, and the public school accounts are handed over clearly. I'm afraid I don't have time to read them. The second aunt said to you --" Sun is smiling, kind and loving, just like ordinary parents mentioning juniors." Our Chu family has a big business. Although we are divided into families, we are in the same family. These industries are not only in our house. The uncle and aunt sitting in this house have a lot of shares in the family and earn dividends every year. Normally. This has to be done a year ago. This year you enter the door and I will hand over with you. My uncles and aunts love you, and you have to be sensible. Now that the housework has started, you should also feel sorry for your uncles and aunts. !"
Xie Tingyue understood in her heart.
No wonder just handed in the middle feed so altogether, and waited for him here!
He looked at the post and couldn't finish the account for a while, but he could see the running water, and the account did not deposit so much money at all!
For so many years, Sun knew it, smiling at him now, looking forward to the dark light, as if waiting to see him gaffe.
Xie Tingyue was "surprised" to show her: "But there is not enough money in the account... The younger generation should be filial to the elders. Since the uncles and aunts have stocks, of course they have to get dividends, but this question-I am young, ignorant, and still Please teach me, my second aunt, what should I do about this?"
Sun did not expect that the other party could return a soft nail, but could this stump her? The smile on his face suddenly became deeper, and his words were more earnest: "This is normal. You also do business yourself. You should know that whoever has nothing to do will not put so much water and mold. If the cash is not enough, do you still have foreign debt? Our Chu family has always been kind. Others owe some money and rarely urge them, but isn't this in a hurry? Just find a big head and ask for it back, and it will be enough for you uncles and aunts to eat!"
The answer is so fast, it is obvious.
Xie Tingyue immediately thought about it. It was obvious that money was difficult to deal with. If Sun did not come back, he simply pushed the mess to him.
"Just find a big head", the point is so obvious, who is Sun referring to?
Or, there are other things in Sun's body that can't be solved by some debts?
Xie Tingyue hasn’t thought through it yet, but Sun’s words come again: “All the clan wives have walked this way. Don’t worry about your nephew and daughter-in-law, just let them go. Uncle and auntie know that you’re working hard, so she won’t urge you, second aunt I also put my face here, cheeky and talked, within a month, no one will rush you, just get angry at me if you are dissatisfied, I will treat each other with good tea and water, so I can beat or scold you!"
As soon as Sun sang and drank, she acted all the tricks by herself, and the whole audience was the one who loved her the most. No one could tell that it was bad. The old lady sitting in the upper position, and Chu Mu’s widow mother Su, everyone There was no time to interject, things seemed to be settled.
The clan members were put off by these ‘ruthless words’, and it was hard for them to chase their faces, so they could only take the opportunity to complain.
"It's not that we urge you. If you don't do this well, and you can't take care of it, it's better to stop rashly and learn more around your elders."
"What I mean is that no matter how smart the juniors are, the butlers are not as experienced as the elders. If not, don't hold on."
"Our Chu family is not a small family, three people, just take care of it, you have to be careful."
After everyone had finished speaking, the fifth aunt in the next room smiled and said, "It’s not that we don’t feel sorry for our nephew and daughter-in-law. We have to force her to work hard. We can’t be too much to get the money back. It's not a snack. I'm sorry, it's not us, but you."
"Chu Mu, you are the Zongzi, the future support family, do you think this is the reason?"
This is another talking person.
Chu Mu laughed: "The fifth aunt is right. The elder son has a different status, and his responsibilities are also important. What others cannot do, my wife, I can do."
This is a bit of a slap in the face, what other people can't do, who is this person?
Sun's face was a bit ugly right now.
Xie Tingyue almost laughed.
But today's scene, let him see something clearly.
If this matter is not handled well, the feedback will not be guaranteed, and I am afraid that I will be forced to return.
Others have stakes, so naturally they have to get dividends. Sun's head was not willing to give it, but he is a reasonable person, and the contract is there. You have to do what you should do, and you have to give what you want.
Sun opened his mouth and pointed out the direction of the account. Normal industrial business can't drag a large sum of money without paying it back. It will accumulate like this, and there must be a lot of hidden information. Sun's eyes are trapped one by one, maybe something deeper is hidden, something she can't handle...
The widowed mother Su's attitude towards Chu Mu is somewhat subtle.
These days of getting married, she used to visit Chu Mu a limited number of times. Everyone shed tears and seemed to feel very distressed. In fact, it did not bring Chu Mu more benefits. On the contrary, it made people look at her even more pitiful and feel deeper towards her.
Chu Mu didn't seem to care at all, didn't expect more, and didn't feel any disappointment.
Mother and son should be the closest people in the world, the most difficult to part with. Why did this mother and son live like this?
Xie Tingyue really didn't understand that the Su clan had died of her husband, and only Chu Mu was her son. She didn't regard it as the lifeblood and took good care of her. Instead, she showed herself in various ways, like giving up. Does she... think Chu Mu is going to die anyway?
Xie Tingyue felt very distressed.
If not for so many outsiders, he would want to shake Chu Mu's hand.
The old lady, too, sits on top and sings like watching the stage below. No one can help. No one can touch her interests anyway.
Come to please Ann every day, and count the few good faces when the big white cat is there.
On the day of getting married, the big white cat seemed to like Xie Tingyue very much. Every time she saw him, she would have to squeeze him. Tsundere meowed to touch him. The old lady loved the cat, so she also glanced at Xie Tingyue. It's a pity that Dabai is not here today.
This meal can be said to be tasteless, no one particularly enjoyed it.
After the banquet, let someone send Chu Mu back to the courtyard, and Xie Tingyue and Sun Clan saw off the guests together.
After all the guests left, the courtyard was quiet.
Sun didn't act anymore, and the smile turned into a mockery: "I said Second Xie, don't you think that Chu Mu is really good to you?"
Xie Tingyue: "What is your opinion?"
"His person has always been the same since he was a child, he looks the most gentle, but he is actually the coldest, he doesn't care about anything, no one cares, including the mother who gave birth to him," Sun sneered, "You even face him. I haven’t seen him before, he can drag the sick to come to welcome you, marry you, do you think this is sincere, like you? Heh, he just found a new toy and thought of a new way to play, and you are him Tools to be used!"
Xie Tingyue remained unmoved: "Second aunt is not angry because of what I said just now? Would you like to go with me and let Chu Mu apologize to you?"
Sun's anger almost fell the kerchief.
One yard is one yard!
"You don't believe it?" She squinted and snorted coldly, "Our Young Master Chu has a big heart. If you don't believe it, just wait and see!"
After speaking, he hummed and left.
Xie Tingyue watched her back disappear into the Suihua Gate, her gaze flicked across the high wall and fell into the high sky.
Who knows what's next?
Chu Mu may have a secret, but he alone has never suspected that Chu Mu would harm him.
...
Xie Tingyue didn't want to hand it over. This family’s water is very deep, and I take charge of it. Many things can be done the way I want, and people are slowly taming. There are many people who rely on it. Those who don’t rely on it are known to be powerful and dare not to be casual. Something happened. This has to be handed over after a round in the hand, and the prestige is greatly reduced, and I am afraid that there will be more trouble in the future.
Chu Mu had already released his words, he must handle this dividend.
Xie Tingyue took root in the account and read the account for two days. It was a coincidence that one of the most debtors was in Qing County.
He happened to be leaving, so of course we will do it together!
Several things were planned separately, and Xie Tingyue went to Qi Wenhai.
The people behind He Yuanqi are to be arrested. Qingxian and his party are trying their best to produce results, but things about the capital cannot be let go. The He family’s industry is too extensive, and it’s definitely not delicious for one or two people. I am afraid that there will be any changes. Xie Tingyue discussed with Qi Wenhai. This time, he went to Qingxian by himself. Qi Wenhai will be in the capital to avoid big problems. accident.
Carry pigeons with them for communication at any time.
After discussing this matter, Qi Wenhai reminded Xie Tingyue of another matter: "There is a merchant from Su Keng called Yan Hong who is contacting the purchase of a weaving and dyeing workshop recently."
"Yan Hong?"
Xie Tingyue instantly remembered what he saw in the wine shop that day. Lin's confidant girl, Qingfang, had a secret appointment with Yan Hong.
He was suspicious at the time and felt that something was wrong. Unfortunately, he ran into the agency and fell into the secret road with Chu Mu. Shen Sanniang and Qi Yingfei have found it. What kind of conspiracy the two people have, don't know the safety.
Qi Wenhai thought he was puzzled, and explained: "Yan Hong didn't act very much, he was just in contact. There were only a few shops that were actually bought and they did not pose a threat to you. The shopkeeper Liu did not think about it. Say, but I always feel that if he keeps playing like this, things will be big."
Xie Tingyue nodded: "Well, just contact the purchase of the weaving and dyeing workshop?"
"I'm also feeling strange," Qi Wenhai frowned. "Recently, when we play together, our interests and hatred are all tied together. If he buys the weaving and dyeing workshop for you, why doesn't he do for me?"
Xie Tingyue immediately confirmed that it must be from Lin's family.
Qi Wenhai was very worried: "This Yan Hong is terrible. I don't know how to use it. I haven't contacted it. But my sisters and sisters are very promising. One married to Mu's third room and became a regular wife, and one was sent to King Li's house to be a concubine. This nepotist is in-laws, and others don’t have a burden to do you. It depends on whether you can do it. If you want to do him, you will have to think about it."
The Mu's family is an emperor merchant, a wealthy man, and King Li is a clan kin, arrogant, who caused the ordinary people?
"Moreover, the other party started messing up without saying anything. It was obvious that there was a plan. I don't know what's bad. It's really unfavorable if you keep it secret." Qi Wenhai is even more worried about this.
Xie Tingyue thought for a while: "Since it is for me...find a way to transfer him out."
Qi Wenhai: "Transfer out?"
"He is ready here, and his in-laws have also walked around and greeted him. It may not be the case elsewhere," Xie Tingyue smiled. "It is fair to change to a battlefield that no one is familiar with."
Qi Wenhai raised eyebrows: "You are bad! Let's talk, what do you need brothers to help?"
Xie Tingyue beckoned him to come over and whispered, "You can help me put a letter to him, saying that my Lanying cloth has a terrible dyed grass, which is very rare. Seeing it will be broken, I don’t worry about anyone. , I have to buy it myself..."
The fact is of course not. Lanying cloth should be fully prepared. Except for worrying about the mulberry silk will not continue in a few months, there is no problem. What terrible dyeing grass does not exist.
But Yan Hong doesn't know!
Whose secret recipe doesn't pull tightly, just put it out? Xie Tingyue doesn't need to make up the name of the dyeing grass, as long as it's ‘death’, that’s enough.
Yan Hong intends to acquire the weaving and dyeing workshop. The left is just trying to calculate his Lanying cloth business. Now that such a big shortcoming is actively sent to the door, can he have no idea? After getting this ‘deadly dyed grass’, Lanying cloth’s business will be shut down immediately, saving time and time and not having to spend so much capital.
It's strange that he didn't chase Xie Tingyue.
As for where to go--
Of course it is Qingxian.
If you have too much debt, don't worry about biting if there are too many lice, Xie Tingyue thought, a pot of stew.
In a hurry, taking care of everything around him and preparing for the trip, Xie Tingyue finally packed her brother Xiong and sent it to the academy.
Xie Tingxing kept his head down and did not move. He was not like the spirit of the past, he was neither naughty nor naughty, and talked a lot.
Xie Tingyue knew why, and touched her little brother's head: "Be good, study hard, don't be naughty, brother will come back to see you soon."
The child looked at his elder brother, "click", tears fell.
He quickly stretched out his paw and wiped it: "I don't want to cry, I'm eleven years old, I'm an adult, and my eyes are not up to you!"
Xie Tingyue grabbed the child's hand and gently wiped his tears: "It's okay, not ashamed, my brother often cries when you are as old as you."
"Brother don't worry, I'm fine, with so many people around me, I will never ask others to bully me!"
This time when he went back to the academy to study, Chu Mu bought a lot of people, most of them looked ordinary, but in fact they were very unusual.
Xie Tingyue was also very relieved, and nodded her brother's forehead: "Don't bully others either."
Seeing that it was not early, Xie Tingxing reluctantly waved his paw and said goodbye to his brother, and finally took care of Chu Mu again: "Take care of my brother! If my brother loses a strand of hair, I can't spare you!"
Xie Tingyue sighed: "Xing'er, he is a patient. Besides, this time I am leaving alone, and he will not follow."
Xie Tingxing played his temper recklessly again: "I don't care! Anyway, that's it, I'm leaving!"
Seeing the child disappearing, Xie Tingyue looked at Chu Mu, "Sorry."
Chu Mu supported the sick body to deliver it, but Brother Xiong was so ignorant.
Chu Mu didn't care about it, "It doesn't matter if the younger brother is still young."
"Then we are gone?"
"it is good."
On the return journey, ride in the carriage, and the road is long.
The door blocked the cold outside, the charcoal stove ignited, and the car was warm like spring.
Xie Tingyue held the tea cup and looked at Chu Mu with a smile: "When I think about it, I have said goodbye to many people, but I didn't say goodbye to you alone. Tonight, please help me with some good food. Let's have a drink. A few cups."
"Small drinks are of course okay," Chu Mu said slowly, "but you don't have to say goodbye."
Xie Tingyue: "Why?"
Isn't this person afraid of parting besides being afraid of darkness? Will be embarrassed and cry like Brother Xiong?
He thought of many possibilities, never thought of this one.
Chu Mu: "Because I will go with you."
What?
Xie Tingyue straightened her eyes and didn't react for a while. Is there something wrong with his ears? Why do you seem to hear terrible words!
"You heard that right, I want to go to Qingxian with you." Chu Mu spoke a little faster than usual, and directly blocked Xie Tingyue's objection, "Lu Li has official duties to go to Qingxian."
Lu Li?
As soon as the name came out, it did immediately divert Xie Tingyue's attention.
This is a good man who was killed in his last life, just this year. He didn't know Lu Li at all, and only heard some gossips outside, remembering whether it was spring or autumn when the weather was not hot or cold.
If it was spring, this time... it must be very dangerous.
Chu Mu saw his reaction, and said, "I have improved a lot. I haven't fallen ill for a long time. I worry about you at home. If I can see it from time to time, I will share the joys and sorrows."
Xie Tingyue thought for a long time.
Chu Mu's condition is like this. It's always in crisis. It's the same outside of the house. No one takes care of him. It's better to stay with him anyway, at least he won't be perfunctory at all. Then bring Qin Ping's ginkgo, add the Dong brother by his side, bring the pills, and prepare the clothes and socks. Should... no problem?
But there will be a natural disaster in Qingxian...
And because of this, there has been a small incident.
He is ready to do enough, avoiding danger is not a problem, Xu can also provide some help to the local people, Chu Mu is sick...
Xie Tingyue still seriously refuted Chu Mu's opinion and forbade him to go.
Is Chu Mu someone who is easily moved?
Not only did she not listen to Xie Tingyue's words, she also prepared things quickly, including the wide carriage specially built for travel. Lu Li packed up and came to ride the carriage. In front of the outsiders, how could Xie Tingyue really save Chu Mu's face?
In short, the way forward is to go together in the end.
Qi Wenhai did a good job, Yan Hong was decisively fooled, and the opportunity is rare in a lifetime. If you don't follow it, it's a dog, so stupid!
After finding out where Xie Tingyue was going, she packed up her clothes and went along.
Nothing went wrong, and it didn't go wrong to sell. It didn't take long for the Xie family and Lin to receive a letter from Yan Hongtuo.
In addition to explaining related matters, there is something unexpected.
"Your brother went to study and met Yan Hong."
Lin was a little surprised, but Xie Ru was very upset: "Brother, what kind of demon is going to make a fuss? If he didn't study well, he went to study, and he was hit by Yan... Yan boss?
The daughter is a clever person, and her family-related plans. Lin has always kept Xie Ru from her. Xie Ru's mind is the same as an ordinary girl. She doesn't have any special illusions about having a couple for life. She wants to live a good life. This Yan Hong hasn't I've seen it. It's not satisfied or dissatisfied, but at any rate it is an intentional person. If my brother Xie Tingri is embarrassed over there, wouldn't it make her faceless?
Lin loved his son, so he immediately sought to make up for it: "This book broke ten thousand books and traveled ten thousand miles. It was all talkative, and perhaps it was arranged by the college."
Xie Ru was still upset: "Hmph, don't let me wipe my butt if something happens!"
"You are really true," Lin patted his daughter with no emphasis, "Your brother, a big man, can you wipe your butt? You marry well, and you will depend on the future. Both your mother and your brother can rest assured, your brother. If you have a future, will you forget you? Fortunately, some means will be released, otherwise my mother will not know that you and your brother are separated!"
Seeing that Lin was really angry, his eyes were a little red, Xie Ru had a guilty heart, and softly called out, "Mother..."
Lin sighed: "Your father is unreliable. Now I know that the one who reads the previous one is good, what did you do earlier? This is a fool, but I am a fool, and others are so foolish... I have nothing else to think about in my life, so I hope you and your brother can make a difference, fight for some anger, and don't be compared with the lower seed that I raised."
When it comes to cheap species, Xie Ru feels even more emotional when thinking of Xie Tingyue.
Over the years, the sense of frustration and humiliation she tried was given by Xie Tingyue, and Lu Li saw it through, and this marriage road was broken!
She doesn't have much attachment to Lu Li, but Lu Li has grown up well and has enough family background. It is the best she can find at this stage. The result is gone!
"My brother is not a good thing, so I can't get any light!"
"Nonsense!" Lin was anxious, "Which kind of brother is you? Only one who comes out of the womb is the real blood connection, breaking the bones and the tendons, only your brother can really treat you well! "
Xie Ru bit her lip and her eyes were red.
Lin also knew that his tone was too heavy just now, so he hugged his daughter and stroked her hair with a slender hand: "My mother was a little anxious and scared my little daughter... But the truth is the same. You have learned the rules for so long. understand?"
"I understand..." Xie Ru was buried in Lin's arms, her voice a little dull, "I'm just... brother is angry."
Lin: "This man is not like a woman. He is late to fight. Ru'ermo is anxious. Your brother will have a good future... Mother came out in these two days. I didn't inquire about anything else, but I heard that there was a big man in the capital who wanted Traveling, maybe your brother's encounter is a good opportunity arranged by God..."
Xie Ru: "Well, I also want my brother to be fine."
As long as Nak and their bastards do not appear.
Thinking of this, Xie Ru's heart jumped fiercely: "Then Qing County, Xie Tingyue won't go, right?"
Lin froze for a moment: "Should not? I didn't hear the letter."
The other party's life is good, that is, she is miserable. Xie Tingyue marries to the Chu family as a male wife. The better he gets over it, Lin gets more and more miserable. He simply doesn't care about the other party's news.
If you don’t pay attention, you don’t know.
She didn't know that her good son was different from what she thought, and he was about to meet Xie Tingyue.
