The daughter of the splendid good fortune is respected

Chapter 415 Bewitching and seizing power (5)
"Oh, what do you want the shop for?" Mr. Xiao asked curiously. He thought Xiao Mingyu would want some gold, silver and jewelry, but unexpectedly he wanted the shop.

Xiao Mingyu said with a smile: "Returning to grandfather, these days my granddaughter is learning to be a housekeeper by her mother's side. Granddaughter thinks that if she owns a shop, she can do some business by herself and see how far she is capable."

"Do you have the heart of a businessman?" This was beyond the old man's expectations. "It's not appropriate for you to engage in these things."

Xiao Mingyu lowered his head, "What the old man said is that the granddaughter has made up her mind, and the granddaughter will not show up herself, and only ask the servants to show up for the granddaughter. But the granddaughter will secretly pay attention and help out with ideas."

Mr. Xiao thought for a while, and didn't ask Xiao Mingyu what he wanted to do with this shop, and he agreed directly, "Okay, I will agree to you. Steward Xiao, tomorrow you will transfer a shop to Ming Yu. Although our Xiao family has collapsed , but one or two shops can still be taken out.”

Xiao Mingyu naturally knew that the Xiao family could take it out, otherwise he wouldn't have made this request.The pier by the river was originally a wasteland, and the pier has not yet become a pier.Later, Mr. Xiao took a fancy to the land there, so he took the money to repair the pier and pavement.The wharf was sold to the Wangfu, and the pavement was only rented at first and not sold. When the price rose, Mr. Xiao sold part of the pavement.Now that the Xiao family is in decline, the main loss is in the mine.Pavement loss is not great.However, the value of these pavements is definitely not as good as mines.The two mines sealed up by the palace alone have a yearly income of several 10 taels.The income of the mine is definitely not comparable to that of a few pavements.It is also because the Xiao family has no mines, so in the eyes of everyone, the Xiao family has fallen.

In the territory of Zhongzhou, minerals not only represented a lot of silver, but also represented status and power.Without the mine, naturally he is not qualified to occupy a place in the Zhongzhou territory.

Xiao Mingyu was ecstatic in his heart, "Thank you, old man."

"A shop is nothing." Old Master Xiao sighed, "Ming Yu, our Xiao family has fallen to this point, what do you think our Xiao family will do next?"

Xiao Mingyu was very surprised that Mr. Xiao would ask her this question, and said after deliberation: "Mr., the Xiao family has gone through a catastrophe. The most important thing now is for the old man to take good care of his health and restore the confidence of the Xiao family. As long as the old man is here, there will always be something lost by the Xiao family." It will all be earned back one day."

Mr. Xiao loved to hear this, "I didn't expect you girl to be so good at talking."

Xiao Mingyu said seriously: "Old man, what my granddaughter said is true."

"Grandson also feels that sister Mingyu is right. The most important thing now is to take good care of the old man's health." Xiao Mingzhen also said.

Mr. Xiao waved his hand, "Okay, I won't die yet. This body is nourished for one day and one year. Take your time. Mingyu, besides nourishing your body, do you think you should do something? ?”

Xiao Mingyu denied, "Old man, my granddaughter said something recklessly. Although the matter seems to be settled, but now our Xiao family is attracting attention. Every move will be magnified, and people will say one, two, three. Granddaughter I thought that the Xiao family should not do anything now, rest and recuperation is the most important thing. It is business matters. If you can maintain it, you can continue to maintain it. If you can’t, you can temporarily close it. When the third brother talked with His Royal Highness, the eldest son Your Highness also said that as long as our Xiao family does well, His Highness Shizi will guarantee to deter those who are interested, so that people will not dare to throw stones at the Xiao family."

Xiao Mingzhen frowned, but still nodded and said: "Master, His Royal Highness does mean that."

Mr. Xiao frowned, "Forget it, let's rest and recuperate. What should be shut down should be shut down, and what should be continued. Let's take care of it for half a year, and then we can talk about it when we recover. As for the people who make trouble, there will never be any less." After a pause, the old man asked Said: "How about the Zhang family?"

Xiao Mingyu secretly looked at Xiao Mingzhen, Xiao Mingzhen said: "Reporting to the old man, His Royal Highness has formed the Tiger and Leopard Camp, and Zhang Fengyun has officially assumed the position of commander, a fourth-rank official."

"Hmph, green smoke is rising from Zhang's ancestor's grave. Is your aunt dead?" Old Master Xiao asked in a bad tone.

Xiao Mingzhen said: "The eldest aunt was sent to Zhangjiazhuang, and she was guarded. There are many things at home these days, and no one has been sent to visit. Old man, do you want to send someone to Zhangjia to ask?"

"No need. Maojie really should learn some lessons." Old Master Xiao said without the slightest emotion, "As for the Zhang family, I heard that Zhang Fengyun gave Zhang Shiqian three concubines?"

"Exactly." Xiao Mingzhen said: "It is said that Mr. Zhang has accepted them all."

Mr. Xiao sneered, "He's not afraid to hold on. He's quite old and doesn't know how to take good care of him. Butler Xiao, tomorrow you'll find two stunning ones to send to Zhang Shiqian, just say they're my father-in-law. Heart. Ask him if he dares to accept it, if he accepts it, it’s fine. If he doesn’t accept it, ask him if he really intends to sever all ties and contacts with the Xiao family, and whether the Zhang and Xiao families will be enemies in the future. "

Housekeeper Xiao didn't ask the reason, and responded directly, "Don't worry, old man, the younger one will definitely pick two stunning ones to send, and he will definitely suppress Fifth Sister You."

Mr. Xiao laughed, "You don't need to suppress Fifth Sister You. The people you sent, you should explain clearly to them, and ask them to help Fifth Sister You. In short, the more chaotic the Zhang family's inner courtyard, the better. play."

Butler Xiao didn't understand, but he still agreed, "The younger one will explain clearly, and I won't disappoint the old man. It's just the old lady, what should I do if I find out?"

Mr. Xiao frowned, and asked Xiao Mingzhen, "What did the doctor say about the old lady's condition? Is there really no other way?"

"Returning to the old man, the doctor said that he should rest and rest, and he must not get angry. It's just that the old lady has a temper, and she has to ask a few words about everything, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't get angry. This is not good for the condition. If things go on like this, the grandson is worried that the old lady's condition may It will get worse." Xiao Mingzhen said with a worried face.

The old man Xiao sighed, "The old woman has been with the old man for so many years, but I didn't expect to be paralyzed in the end. Forget it, the old man will go to see her tomorrow. From now on, I will try my best to keep things outside the house from the old lady. Don't let her worry about it. If she asks about Mao Jie, you can tell me that the old man has already negotiated with the Zhang family, and Mao Jie has returned to the Zhang family. Fifth Sister You also learned a lesson and was beaten up."

Mr. Xiao was worried, and ordered: "You all pass on this word. If anyone dares to talk nonsense in front of the old lady, the old man will kill him."

"Follow the old man's orders." The three said in unison.

After talking, the spirit of the old man improved a little.It can be seen that Mr. Xiao belongs to the type of person who can't take time off.
