Chapter 16: Eccentricity

The three ladies of the Chu family, the eldest lady was born in a big family, and the second lady was the daughter of Ding Kaishan, the owner of the Kaishan Martial Arts Hall in Tongzhou Mansion, only this third lady had no background, just the daughter of an ordinary small businessman, and it was purely because of her youth and beauty that she was able to marry Chu Zongguang.

However, the only advantage of this third lady is that she is smart, and she knows that she is not from a good background, so she does not fight or rob, and in the end, the second lady takes the initiative to win her over.

At this time, the second lady came to Chu Shen's mansion, and the third lady immediately walked out of the house and greeted her with a smile: "Sister came to me today, why didn't you say it in advance." ”

Chu Shu also followed behind the third lady and respectfully shouted Erniang.

The second lady nodded, pulled people into the house and said lightly: "It's just small talk, do you need to say anything in advance?" By the way, the shops under the injured child are not bad, right? Is it enough?"

The third lady's complexion changed, and she hurriedly said: "The shops in the injured are all inns and restaurants, and the income is not much, except for the ones handed over to the family, there is not much silver, but the injured child does not want to compete for the position of the heir, so this income is just right." ”

Seeing that the third lady seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, the second lady smiled and said: "Sister misunderstood, I didn't mean that, the injured child is still young now, even if he doesn't want to compete for the head of the family, how can he hold some business with more income in his hand, just like my sister you just said, the business in the hand of the injured child, the income is not much." ”

The eyes of the third lady and Chu Shu were bright, and the third lady said without moving: "But there are so many businesses in the Chu family, and the master has already given Chu Shen those shops, I will ask for it again, some of them are too ignorant." ”

The second lady stood up and said, "No matter what the master wants, but you can exchange it with others, I heard that Chu Xiu's caravan has been making good profits recently, and the profits of the caravan have more than doubled in his hands." ”

After finishing speaking, the second lady turned around and left directly, she believed that the other party would understand what she meant.

After the second lady left, the third lady and Chu Shu glanced at each other, and the two of them almost made up their minds.

The third lady has no background, and Chu is too young, so they can't fight for it.

But they don't fight because they can't compete with the boss of the Chu family, and they can't compete with the third child of the Chu family.

But a Chu Xiu who has no background and is not liked by Chu Zongguang, they can still grab it.

Early the next morning, Chu Xiu was practicing his knife in his courtyard, and the simplest knife technique of the Qinglong in his sleeve had almost become instinctive after his repeated practice.

Of course, Chu Xiu doesn't know the specific power now, martial arts is the way to kill, if you don't kill, how can you train the real killing skills?

At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the house, he opened the door, and an old man stood outside the door and said, "Second son, the master called you to come over." ”

The person who came was Steward Chen, and Chu Xiu also knew that this Steward Chen was Chu Zongguang's personal butler, although he didn't care about the specific affairs, his status in the Chu family was much higher than that of Steward Liu.

And this Steward Chen was also very polite to Chu Xiu, in Chu Xiu's memory, when he was in the Chu family before, those elders and uncles of the Chu family, as well as the big butler of the level of Steward Liu, had a very arrogant attitude towards him, only this Steward Chen could call him a second son every time he saw Chu Xiu.

Reciprocating the favor, Chu Xiu was also very polite to this Steward Chen, he nodded and said, "Steward Chen, wait a minute, I'll change my clothes and go over." ”

After changing his clothes, Chu Xiu went to Chu Zongguang's residence with Steward Chen, but on the way, Steward Chen suddenly said: "Second son, wait for what the master says, and I hope you can calm down." ”

Speaking of this, Steward Chen also sighed, Chu Zongguang did a bit too much in some things, but the family is like this, there is no so-called fairness at all, he is just worried that this second son's current personality is a little radical, in case he does something that should not be done in Chu Zongguang, it will be a little bad.

Hearing Steward Chen say this, Chu Xiu immediately knew that this time it was estimated that there was nothing good.

However, Chu Xiu still smiled and nodded, "Thank you Steward Chen for reminding me, I am measured." ”

After being reborn, the memories of the two lives fused, and naturally the memories of Chu Xiu in the previous life took the initiative, but the memories of this life also affected his character somewhat.

In his previous life, Chu Xiu's personality tended to be gloomy and calm, he had a plan to do things, and he saw things very thoroughly.

And Chu Xiu's previous character in this life was cowardly and reckless, this kind of character did not affect Chu Xiu, on the contrary, in the year of Nanshan Mining Area, Chu Xiu in this life was contaminated with some tyrannical and crazy temperament, but it somewhat affected Chu Xiu's character now.

For example, Li Tong of the Li family provoked Chu Xiu before, but Chu Xiu stabbed someone to death without hesitation, and Chu Xiu didn't feel half a bit of discomfort afterwards.

Of course, even if Chu Xiu's character is a little tyrannical and crazy, he is confident that he will suppress it and will not do bad things at a critical moment.

Chu Xiu was led into Chu Zongguang's study by Steward Chen, and at this time, in addition to Chu Zongguang's study, there were still four Chu injuries.

"I've seen my father. ”

Chu Xiu saluted Chu Zongguang, and Chu Xiu on his side also arched his hand to Chu Xiu, and said with respect on his face: "I've seen the second brother." ”

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed, his fourth brother had never called him second brother a few times since he was a child.

Seeing Chu Xiu coming, Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "Sit down, I asked you to come today to discuss something with you." ”

Chu Xiu arched his hand and said, "If there is anything, my father should just say it." ”

Chu Zongguang said: "During this time, your caravan has developed well, I didn't expect that you have been training in the Nanshan mining area for a year, but you have grown a lot, no matter whether you can become the heir of my Chu family in the future, but you will definitely be the mainstay of my Chu family in the future, so you brothers must be harmonious and help each other." ”

Chu Xiu frowned secretly, Chu Zongguang's words were a little strange, what was the situation of their brothers, Chu Zongguang didn't know?

But thinking so in his heart, Chu Xiu still nodded and said, "What my father said is true." ”

Chu Zongguang nodded and said: "It's good that you can think so, that's the case, although Chu Injury is still young now, he has also changed his experience, last time you personally led the caravan to Yan Kingdom, which is very good, Chu Injury now also wants to learn from you, the second brother, and lead the caravan to experience."

So I'm going to swap your caravan with the shop under Chu Shen's name, and let your fourth brother take care of the caravan. ”

Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of gloom, no wonder Steward Chen wanted him to calm down before, his cheap father's preference was too obvious.

When the caravan is dangerous, Chu is injured and does not go, and when the income is low, Chu is injured and does not go, and when he opens up the trade routes and can be safe and unimpeded, he is ready to let Chu hurt to go, this peach picking is too ugly.

Steward Chen on the side also stared at Chu Xiu a little nervously, for fear that he couldn't help but be angry and attack on the spot.

However, to Steward Chen's surprise, Chu Xiu was only silent for a while, and then he raised his head and smiled: "Since my father has already made a decision, well, I will give up the caravan to the fourth brother." ”

Chu Zongguang nodded with satisfaction, he sought stability in everything, and what he hated the most was that his son disobeyed his will.

Seeing Chu Xiu so knowledgeable, Chu Zongguang said: "I will be content to see that your brothers are harmonious, in this way, the shops under Chu Xiu's command are all inns and restaurants, and I will give you another weapon shop, and I will also hand it over to you to take care of together." ”

Chu Zongguang turned his head to Chu Hurt again and said, "Although the caravan belongs to you, you are still young, so you must study modestly." In this way, when the caravan departs, I will ask Lin Qian to go with you. ”

Chu Xiu's eyes showed a hint of coldness, Lin Qian was one of the two strongest disciples of their Chu family, with the strength of the Blood Condensation Realm, and was only responsible for instructing the cultivation of some Chu family disciples on weekdays.

At the beginning, the Dead Mountain was extremely dangerous, but Chu Zongguang just told him to be careful, but now that it is Chu Injury, there are guards from the Blood Condensation Realm, all of whom are sons, but this gap is not a little bit.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn't feel unbalanced, he never regarded this Chu Zongguang as his father in his heart, including the memories of his body's previous life, and he was only afraid of Chu Zongguang.

Moreover, only Chu Shu can enjoy this kind of treatment within the Chu family, and Chu Kai and Chu Sheng are not much better than him.

Chu Shu's eyes showed a hint of pride, and he first bowed his head to Chu Zongguang and said, "Thank you, father." ”

Then he deliberately arched his hand at Chu Xiu and said, "Thank you, second brother." ”

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the business road is rugged, fourth brother, it's better for you to be careful." ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu directly said goodbye and left, but there was a cold color in his eyes.

Whether it is in his past life or in this life, what he hates most is that someone robs him of his things!
