"Xiao Er! Give me a cup of herbal tea!" A bearded man in a gray bunt sweated profusely into the tea shed, his face was flushed with heat, and he complained to a young man sitting next to him, "Brother, this year It's too hot! It's only the beginning of May!"
"Here we come, Grandpa!" Xiao Er responded with a loud voice, and brought a bowl of herbal tea to the guest after a while.
The bearded man proudly drank the herbal tea in one gulp and let out a long sigh of relief.
The young man next to him is also an old acquaintance with him, and he chatted with him casually: "Brother, didn't you say you were going to take a dart trip a few days ago? Why did you come back so soon?"
"It will take a few days to drive Liancheng." The bearded man waved his hand indifferently, then let Xiao Er serve a bowl of herbal tea, and then said after thinking of something, "Little brother, when I entered the city just now I saw the Fang family serving porridge there! What's going on here?" He looked around and said in a low voice, "Isn't the Fang family giving out some black-hearted rice porridge?" The black-hearted rich man said he was doing charity, It is not uncommon to implement moldy rice, or mix it with sand! Anyway, the life of the poor is not their life!
As the bearded man thought about it, a bit of righteous indignation appeared on his face.
At this time, Xiaoer happened to come to serve herbal tea, and when he heard Da Huzi's words, he said, "Brother Yu, you have just returned to the city, so I don't know how recently, Fang's family has changed their ways! It's not just serving porridge at the gate of the city, It also avoided a lot of loan sharks, put a lot of people in the mine, and gave those miners a lot of compensation."
Correct?! The bearded man looked up at the western sky, and sarcastically said: "Yo, the sun doesn't come out from the west!" Will the black-hearted Fang family correct?!
really is --
I bother!
The bearded man spat in a gesture of impoliteness.
The young man and Xiao Er exchanged a look, knowing that the bearded man really didn't know anything inside, the young man was about to tell him the inside story, when the middle-aged man at the table next to him couldn't help but sat down with his herbal tea. They came to this table and said enthusiastically: "Old man, you don't know why. Now the Fang family is not in charge of that stinky bastard Fang Chengling, and the Fang family is now in charge of the son!"
The bearded man was stunned, he dug his ears in disbelief, and asked, "You mean our eldest son?"
There is only one person in southern Xinjiang who can be called the son of the world...
"That's right." The young man finally found an opportunity to interface, "Brother, you have been away from the city these days and missed a lot of fun. A few days ago, Fang Chengling's wicked man had a stroke! It happened that the son came to the city Visiting his grandfather, the son is filial, seeing the Fang family in chaos, temporarily took over the Fang family's business, which gave the Fang family a new look!"
The son of the world manages a lot of things every day, if he is not filial, how can he compromise his status to manage business matters.
"My son is not only capable of fighting, but also filial and benevolent!" Xiaoer and Youyou praised proudly, "We in southern Xinjiang are really blessed!"
"That's right." The bearded man thought of something, nodded vigorously and said, "Didn't I just go to Kailian City this time? When I went the year before last, Kailian City was still like a dead city, and now it's only been a little over a year , is already very different, it is even more prosperous than us and Yucheng! Originally, the caravan we were invited to escort this time heard that there were bandits near Kailian City, so they were worried about encountering bandits on the road. We went to the Xuanjia Army of the Son of Heaven, or the Xuanjia Army escorted us all the way to Kailian City! What a sight!"
"Brother, you have actually seen the Xuanjia Army? I heard that they are the personal soldiers of the Shizi, and each of them has the ability to fight ten against one! Is it true?"
"That's it!" The bearded man looked at him in all eyes in the tea shed, and boasted triumphantly, frothing all over his mouth.
For a moment, all the guests in the tea shed were attracted, their eyes lit up with envy.
No one noticed that there were two people sitting in the tea shed, one of them was an old man wearing a blue straight skirt, he looked very energetic, with piercing eyes. When hearing the tea guests talking about the prince, they showed even more gratified eyes.
A middle-aged man who was sitting with him said with emotion: "Father, I am worthy of being an Idiot, who has subdued those who don't have eyes in the mine."
Manager Zhao Fu Xu nodded and said: "My son doesn't even look down on the Nanmanzi, so what are those troublemakers?"
The old man was the Fang family's Chief Manager Zhao, and his eldest son was with him. They had just been accompanied by a hidden guard to the mine outside the city, and conveyed Xiao Yi's order.
Unlike those shops, most of the stewards in the mine have been replaced after Fang Chengling took over. There are very few stewards used by Mrs. Fang, and there are many of them who are loyal to Fang Chengling. Orders were honored and violated, and Manager Zhao went for this.
Who is Xiao Yi, how could he waste his time arguing with those in charge, he just sent a secret guard over there, beat up the disobedient ones and leave.
Among other things, there are plenty of stewards who want to come to Fang's house to work!
Such a simple and crude method was quite effective, and those troublemakers immediately settled down, and they no longer had the arrogance and arrogance of relying on Fang Chengling's power.
Thinking of Fang Chengling, Manager Zhao couldn't hide the disgust on his face.
The Zhao family has been in charge of the Fang family for generations, and he has been with Mrs. Fang for forty years. After Mrs. Fang fell ill, seeing that Fang Chengling was extremely filial to his stepfather and asked for medical treatment, he continued to wholeheartedly manage the Fang family's property for Fang Chengling out of loyalty.
He claimed to be shrewd, but he never expected to be lied to by this wolf-hearted thing for more than ten years!
If the elder son hadn't found him, I am afraid that until now, he is still taking care of these properties for Fang Chengling.
He is ashamed of the old man!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Fortunately, there is a son!
Manager Zhao drank the herbal tea in his cup, and said to his son Zhao Ran: "Well, I will go to Fangfu in a while, and you go and do what I told you."
Zhao Ran quickly responded, "Yes, Father."
After Mr. Zhao finished explaining to his son, he got into the carriage and went straight to Fangfu.
On the one hand, he wanted to personally report the situation of the mine to the Shi Ziye, and on the other hand, he also wanted to visit the sick Mrs. Fang.
So, not long after, Xiao Yi met Manager Zhao in Fangfu.
Regarding Manager Zhao's report, Xiao Yi just nodded, expressing that it was very good, and let him go.
In fact, only uncommon people like Mrs. Fang and Fang Shiyu would really believe that just because Fang Chengling fell down, the foundation of the Fang family for more than three hundred years would be destroyed in a short period of time. In fact, as long as the subordinates are able to manage things well, there will be absolutely no problem in a few years, and a few years is enough for Fang Shiyu to stand alone.
Especially Manager Zhao. He has managed the Fang family's business for many years, and he alone is enough to suppress the chaos. It's just that he didn't do this, but pushed the boat along the way to make the situation worse and worse, so as to force those stewards to invite Xiao Yi together.
"I don't know much about business matters, anyway, I still have to trouble Mr. Zhao."
It's not that Xiao Yi doesn't understand these common affairs, but he's just not willing to worry about them. His own property is still in Nangong Yue's hands. Manager Zhao has been able to manage the Fang family's business properly over the years, so Xiao Yi naturally believes that he can at least do better than a layman like himself.
For Xiao Yi's trust, Manager Zhao had no choice but to solemnly accept his order, expressing that he would do his best.
Then, Manager Zhao said with a little worry: "My lord, there is actually one more thing... In the past two days, the other rooms of the Fang family have been inquiring about the news in private, and the little one is worried..." The property of the Fang family After all, it belonged to the Fang family, and the surname of the eldest son was "Xiao". If the Fang family clan came forward and fought, the eldest son might not be able to get it right.
Xiao Yi guessed what he was worried about, smiled lightly, and said confidently: "This son is waiting for them to come..."
…
While Xiao Yi was discussing with Chief Manager Zhao, it was time for Mr. Fang to give the needle.
Every time the needle is applied, it will take a full stick of incense, and it needs to be exhausted.
Nangong Yue carefully put away the last needle and let out a long sigh of relief as she watched Old Master Fang sleeping soundly on the bed.
Baihui at the side wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, looked at the tiredness on Nangong Yue's face, and said, "Concubine Shizi, go and rest for a while. This place will be guarded by servants."
Nangong Yue was always at ease in Baihui's work, so Nangong Yue nodded and went to Dongci Room with Que'er to have a rest.
Thrush brought up a bowl of goat milk custard.
This goat's milk custard is soft and sweet in the mouth, and it is extremely easy to digest. Nangong Yue didn't use much for lunch, and she was indeed a little hungry at this time.
After this trip, Thrush has become more and more appropriate in doing things...
Nangong Yue, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, ate with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
The goat's milk custard had just finished eating, when there was a sound of curtains being raised, Huamei hurriedly bowed her knees and said: "I have seen the son of the world."
Xiao Yi walked in quickly through the curtain. He had just accompanied Mr. Zhao to visit Mrs. Fang, and after sending him away, he hurried over when he learned that Nangong Yue was in Dongci.
After Huamei greeted him, she withdrew, leaving the place to the two masters.
"A Yi, you're back. Do you want a bowl of goat's milk custard too?" Nangong Yue wanted to get up to meet him, but Xiao Yi quickly pushed her back.
He took advantage of the situation and sat on the Arhat bed, hugged her into his arms, let her lean against his chest, and he put his face between her neck and took a deep breath.
A faint scent of roses hits the face, mixed with a faint scent of goat's milk...
He accidentally gurgled in his stomach...
Gululu--
The inner room was quiet for a moment, and Nangong Yue couldn't hide her smile when she said, "I'll ask Huamei to cook you something to eat."
Nangong Yue's tone was a little teasing at first, but she felt distressed as she spoke.
She knows Xiao Yi's hard work these days better than anyone else.
Xiao Yi let go of Nangong Yue, nodded coquettishly, and added: "What did you eat just now... I want a bowl too!"
Nangong Yue was almost amused by him again, this guy still likes to eat dim sum so much!
Huamei was clearly prepared, and Nangong Yue ordered him to continue. Not long after, Xiao Yi ate two bowls of steaming hot noodle soup, and added a bowl of goat milk custard. He was only nine points full. When he was full, Xiao Yi suddenly felt as if he had come back to life.
"Ayi," Nangong Yue stretched out her hand to caress his eyebrows, and said in a gentle voice, "I know you are impatient, but we have time... Grandfather will get better." Although it was very slow, although it was impossible for grandfather to recover Like ordinary people, but she is confident that as long as she carefully treats and recuperates her grandfather, his grandfather will gradually recover...
Xiao Yi was startled, and immediately felt her worry from Nangong Yue's tone.
He really pushed himself too hard these days... Maybe it was because of his guilt towards his grandfather, these days he really wanted to do what he hadn't done in the past ten years.
He let out a long breath, as if he was relieved, the corners of his eyes were filled with the usual carelessness, and he said solemnly: "That's right, it doesn't seem to suit me, a dude like me, at all!" Yes, as long as Alive, they still have time!
The atmosphere in the inner room suddenly became more relaxed...
