Xiaosheng is really not a nerd Chapter 750: Being soft on others
Mrs. Lu responded weakly: "According to the rules, Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant competes once every ten years."
Lu Tao fell into deep thought. Shaodian wanted to seize food from the tiger's mouth. He was not good at doing any business, but he chose to do food business. He didn't know that food is the life of the people, the life of the army, and the life of the country...
Mrs. Lu saw her husband frowning and feeling uneasy, so she took out the painting and said weakly: "I accepted his painting." Her tone sounded like she was admitting her mistake.
Lu Tao suddenly regained his composure and laughed loudly: "God help me."
Mrs. Lu looked at her husband in surprise. She saw her husband glance at the painting and said with a smile: "Madam, you are a good collector of paintings. Since you have accepted other people's paintings, you must return the favor. This is the courtesy."
."
"master……"
Lu Tao raised his hand gently: "Madam, this can be done."
Mrs. Lu finally calmed down and said happily: "Is it true?"
Lu Tao smiled and said: "The harvest is so wonderful, I must participate in one."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the painting with the scroll unfolded, and he praised: "The painting is so good, no wonder you had the courage to say this favor."
Mrs. Lu gave Lu Tao an angry look, "Then it's settled."
Lu Tao stood up: "I have an appointment with Youfang tonight, Zhongji, let's go first."
He made an appointment with Gu Xuan and Zhang Zhenghe tonight just to discuss how the three of them should express their attitudes and give Zhu Clan a warning.
The news brought by his wife happened to be handed over by Xie Fu, giving Zhu Clan a sap.
…
As for Gu Xianting, he personally came to persuade Gu Wanru.
In the room, Gu Xianting said happily: "Grandpa Gu, it's settled, we can't default on the bill."
Gu Wanru said: "How can I rely on your little girl's debt at my age? But you don't want to rely on your debt. You owe me fifty kilograms of dried fish!"
Gu Xianting was secretly happy, Grandpa Gu was so easy to coax, he could do it with fifty kilograms of dried fish, look how difficult Mrs. Gu said it was.
Just then, Gu Xuan's voice came from outside the door: "Father, my second sister-in-law and I have something to discuss with you."
"Gu Xuan, you came just in time."
Gu Xuan and Gu Cui walked into the room and saw that Gu Xianting was also there. Gu Xuan smiled and said hello: "Xianting is also there."
Gu Xianting saluted Yingying and called sweetly: "Uncle Xuan, second aunt."
The Gu family in Huizhou and the direct Gu family in Suzhou are also relatives. In the mansion, Gu Xianting is known as the closer.
Gu Xuan chuckled: "If you can help me in the Immortal Court, please come and accompany me as father."
There was no daughter in the Gu family, and his father loved Xianting as both a granddaughter and a daughter. Gu Xuan naturally saw it, and of course he also liked this pure, flawless, dignified, polite, and kind-hearted woman from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Cui and Gu Xianting looked at each other, and they knew it well.
Mrs. Gu Cui secretly thought, Xianting, you are the second aunt and you are not willing to help? This matter is not as simple as you think. Even if you can deceive your father-in-law for a while, you will not be able to deceive him forever.
If I don't make it clear in person, I'll be in trouble if something happens later. Fortunately, I discussed it with Gu Xuan in advance.
Gu Wanru smiled and said: "Xianting, please tell your Uncle Xuan that I am too old to take care of so many chores."
This also explained to Gu Xianting that your Uncle Xuan will be in charge of all matters from now on, so you can just go to him.
Gu Xuan asked kindly: "Xianting, what's going on?"
"Uncle Xuan, it's like this. My friends and I are doing business together, and I want my second aunt to come forward and take part in the business."
The implication is that with the support of the Gu family, this business will be easy to do.
Gu Xuan laughed loudly when he heard this: "That's why I came here."
Gu Wanru said oh, Gu Xuan needs to come here in person, then this matter is big or small, and looked towards Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuandao: "Father, my friend Xianting wants to bid for Jiangnan East Road Grain General Merchant."
Gu Wanru immediately looked at Gu Xianting and said a little angrily: "You girl, you told me that you want to do the grain business, how did you end up bidding for Jiangnan East Road Grain General Merchant? You almost got tricked."

Gu Xianting said weakly: "Grandpa Gu, aren't they all the same?"
Gu Wanru said coldly: "That's the same ass!" If this person was not Xianting and dared to lie to him, his head would be dead at this moment.
Gu Xuan said: "Father, I have promised my second sister-in-law, and I came here to tell you."
Gu Wanru looked surprised, glanced at Gu Xuan, and said calmly: "Okay, third child, you have the final say."
Gu Xianting did not expect that things would go so smoothly and that Uncle Xuan would be so courageous.
Mrs. Gu Cui looked at Gu Xianting, as if to say, Xianting, although my father-in-law dotes on you like his own daughter, you still have to rely on your second aunt to handle the business.
In fact, she bit the bullet and tested Gu Xuan's tone, but she didn't expect that Gu Xuan responded so readily.
"Let's leave Xianting first. Your Uncle Xuan and Grandpa Gu still have something to discuss."
After walking out of the room, Mrs. Gu Cui said slightly reproachfully: "Xianting, how could you do this? How dare you deceive Grandpa Gu. If he hadn't doted on you so much, you would have died if it had been anyone else.
deal."
Gu Xianting asked: "Second aunt, how could Uncle Xuan agree so readily?"
Mrs. Gu Cui said: "I just tried Uncle San's tone. His willingness to accept it was beyond my expectation. Men's affairs naturally have their own reasons."
He said, "This matter involves a lot of things. You must not make any arbitrary decisions in the future."
Gu Xianting was very happy and nodded.
…
Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang Fan, almost walked to the door of her husband's study several times, but turned around several times.
She knew how stupid and foolish the matter she wanted to mention to her husband was, and she also knew that her husband's temper would definitely lead to a scolding.
As a woman, she shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing, let alone get involved.
At this time, Zhang Lingxiao walked out of the study and quickly stepped forward to say hello: "Auntie, are you here to see your second uncle?"
Zhang Fan smiled bitterly: "I originally wanted to discuss something with him, but with your second uncle's temper, I'm afraid there's not even room for discussion."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The second uncle has been worried about Ling Luo and Zhu Clan recently, and he really shouldn't bother her at the moment.
Seeing his aunt's worried look, Zhang Lingxiao smiled and said: "Aunt, if you have anything to say, tell your nephew. If it's convenient, my nephew will speak for you."
Zhang Fan's eyes lit up and she thought it was feasible. Although Ling Xiao was a junior, he was a man and the future head of the Zhang family, so his words had much more weight than her own.
Even if there is something ridiculous, my husband will not blame it too much.
Returning to the flower hall of the inner house, Zhang Fan finally told the cause and effect.
After hearing this, Zhang Lingxiao thought to himself, Brother Xie, you have set your sights on my aunt and even bribed her. Are you trying to get my aunt to be punished?
He smiled and said: "Aunt, you are so good Hutu, how can you get involved in this kind of thing? You must know that the Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant is a member of the Zhu clan. This is not obviously against the Zhu clan. The four clans in Wuzhong are all the same."
This will hurt the harmony of our family."
Zhang Fan said: "How can I not understand the involvement in this? If it was a trivial matter, I wouldn't be so troubled."
"I have collected Shaodian's paintings, so I have to do something."
Zhang Fan simply stood up as she said this: "That's all, if you want to be punished, just accept it. It's a return of favor."
Zhang Lingxiao secretly thought to himself that he didn't know what his second uncle's plan was. If he were to make the decision, he would naturally give Zhu Clan a warning first instead of remaining indifferent.
Brother Xie bids for the Jiangnan East Grain General Merchant. If the three companies get involved, wouldn't it just be a warning to the rich?
I had to remind the second uncle, and the second uncle hated the second aunt's interference in business affairs. He was afraid that it would be counterproductive. He had to find a suitable candidate. An idea came to his mind and he blurted out: "Yes!"
Zhang Fan stopped and turned around when he heard the sound: "Ling Xiao, what's the matter?"
Zhang Lingxiao smiled: "Second Aunt, I think of a suitable person to talk to Second Uncle about this matter."
"who?"
"aunt."
Zhang Fan frowned: "That's nonsense, why would your aunt care about such a thing?"
Zhang Lingxiao smiled and said: "If it were someone else, my aunt would naturally not care about this kind of thing, but this person is Brother Xie, does my aunt have a good reason?"
Zhang Fan asked curiously: "Your aunt also admires Li Shaodi?"
After Zhang Lingxiao was stunned for a moment, he laughed: "No, no, brother Xie is my aunt's adopted brother."
Zhang Fanshi was surprised: "There is such a thing!"
The relationship between Zhang Yizhen and Xie Fu was not publicized to the outside world. Zhang Lingluo was the first to know about it, and Zhang Lingxiao also learned this information from Zhang Lingluo.
As for Zhang Fan, she didn't know anything about it, so she was shocked when she heard Zhang Lingxiao mention this relationship.
"Ling Xiao, what's going on?"
"Aunt, do you still remember the Wuxi plague? As the wife of the county magistrate, my aunt took the lead in the pain of losing her husband. It was at that time that she met Mr. Xie, who was also fighting the epidemic."
Zhang Fan secretly thought after hearing this, this is right. Zhang Yizhen's temperament and temperament are exactly the same as those of her ancestor Zhang Zhi. What Shaodi has done for the people of Wuxi naturally makes her admire her, so she becomes Jinlan's sister and brother.
Nothing strange anymore.
Thinking of this, Zhang Fan smiled and said: "Ling Xiao, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhang Lingxiao said: "I also suddenly remembered."
"Okay, then it's reasonable for your aunt to do the talking."
Zhang Fan moved to Jiyue Courtyard.
Jiyue Yuan was specially built by the Zhang family for Zhang Yizhen, the young lady of the Zhang family who first came into the world when she was born.
Because at that time, Zhang Zhizheng was climbing Huqiu Mountain at night, and when he heard the servants coming to announce the good news, he happily blurted out: "The mountain is high and the moon is small, and the water will come out."
Zhang Zhi has always wanted to have a granddaughter, but with the arrival of his granddaughter, the results came to light.
Jiyueyuan was the name given by Zhang Zhi, because Zhang Yizhen was the youngest, so the word Jiyue also became her name when Zhang Yizhen was born.
After her husband passed away, Zhang Yizhen returned to her parents' home with her daughter. Zhang Zhenghe specially sent people to clean Jiyue Courtyard for the mother and daughter to live.
Jiyue Courtyard is also the place where Zhang Yizhen always returns to her natal family to live. Because Jiyue Courtyard was built by Zhang Zhi, it has a special meaning for Zhang Yizhen and Zhang Yizhen, and it has become Zhang Yizhen's exclusive home.
The courtyard is quiet and quiet, with scattered attics and tall lofts, shaded trees, and water and rocks as companions.
The sound of chopping wood came, very clear and sweet.
Zhang Fan looked over and saw Zhang Yizhen wearing a cloth skirt and Jing Chai, chopping firewood by himself.
Zhang Fan thought she had made a mistake, so she rubbed her eyes. The delicate and graceful figure and the clear and stubborn look were none other than Zhang Yizhen!
How could my sister-in-law cut firewood by herself? She was Zhang Zhi's favorite granddaughter. Even though she was married, she would always be the most noble lady of the Zhang family.
It is no exaggeration to say that every word she said in Zhang Fan still counts.
Seeing the firewood being chopped into two by her neatly, Zhang Fan felt pity in her heart and quickly approached: "Sister-in-law, what's going on? Why did you chop the firewood yourself?"
