Even if there is nothing important, Xu Chunjun has no time to spare every day.
Not only do I have to take care of the daily chores at home, but I also have to be busy with Lvchun's wedding and my younger brother Xu Daoqi's first birthday party.
There was nothing about the family's personal relationships or the money going in and out of the bank that she did not need to take care of.
Fortunately, now that Zheng Wuji's prodigal son has returned, he can go out to discuss business for her, which makes her feel a little relieved.
Sikanda came back from outside and said to Xu Chunjun: "Grandma, I was just on the street, how come I heard that something happened to the young master of the Ke family?"
Xu Chunjun was surprised when he heard it and asked quickly: "Did you hear it accurately? What's wrong with Wangchen?"
"It seems that they can't find anyone." Sikandar said, "I can't rush to ask, so I came back to ask for instructions from my eldest grandma."
Xu Chunjun thought for a while and said: "Auntie sent a lot of good autumn ears a few days ago. If you send some to Aunt Ke's family, you will naturally know what's going on."
Not long after Sikanda left here, Zheng Wuji also came back.
"It's very cold today," Zheng Wuji said with a smile, taking the hot tea from Xu Chunjun and drinking it, "Let's have mutton for lunch, and boil a pot of wine and drink some too."
"What's going on with the land in the west of the city?" Xu Chunjun asked.
"The dock is almost complete," Zheng Wuji put down his tea bowl and said, "We are discussing not only building a warehouse but also building some places to eat and rest. What do you think?"
Xu Chunchun nodded and said: "It should be so. Since working in warehouses and docks is indispensable for eating and resting, there is no point in going to the city after arriving there and tossing back and forth. What's more, sometimes the ship arrives in the middle of the night and the city gate is not open. It is a transit place like this.
, just to make it convenient and quick.”
"The two of us thought of going together, but Master Shen said he wanted to build a few restaurants there. But I thought it didn't need to be too luxurious. There are a few decent restaurants, plus two big meat shops.
That's enough." Zheng Wuji drank the remaining half of the bowl of tea, "Manager Xiang means to contract it out so that you don't have to worry about it."
"If you want to save worry, it is natural to rent it out. But if you want to make more money, you should run it yourself." Xu Chunjun said slowly, "In the water and land terminal business, most of the people we receive are people who do manual labor. These people are used to eating and sleeping in the open.
Well, the first thing is to eat quickly, and the second thing is to eat well. Meals that are too delicate are not suitable."
"So you agree with my idea?" Zheng Wuji was very happy, "Then I will have a good talk with Young Master Shen tomorrow and try to settle this matter."
Although it was said that several companies were doing business together, Xiang Neiji almost did not show up and only let his apprentices pass the news.
The Yu family didn't bother to worry about this, and they would rather add a few more road stations.
Therefore, this matter is mainly decided by the Shen family and Zheng Wuji.
"Young Master Shen is a wealthy businessman who has inherited his ancestors. He has never suffered hardship since he was a child, so he naturally puts comfort first." Zheng Wuji said with a smile, "If I had never been in a coolie camp, I would definitely have the same thoughts as him now.
almost."
"So if you don't experience anything, you won't gain wisdom." Xu Chunjun said, "Officials can be considered to have experienced the sufferings of the world."
"When the weather is nice someday, I'll go over there with you and take a look." Zheng Wuji said, "I always have to have you take a look before I can rest assured."
"As long as the officials do a good job, they don't need me to intervene in everything." Xu Chunjun said.
"No, no," Zheng Wuji shook his head. "You know I have never paid much attention to these things in the past. Now I am crossing the river by feeling for the stones. Besides, this matter is not a trivial matter. I can't make the decision alone.
, I still need your help to check it."
"Since the officials have said so, then I'd better obey your orders respectfully." Xu Chunjun did not refuse any more.
"When I see how many of them have to make up their own minds about everything, or go home to discuss things with their brothers, I feel so happy." Zheng Wuji said proudly, "None of them had a virtuous wife like you. In my previous life,
I don’t know how much virtue I have accumulated!”
When it was almost time to eat, Sikanda came back and told Xu Chunjun: "The young master of the Ke family hasn't come back yet, but there is news that he was injured outside the city."
"How come you were injured? Is it serious?" Zheng Wuji and Xu Chunjun both asked.
"It shouldn't be too heavy," Sikandar said, "Don't worry, sir."
"It's too late for him to come back today. I'll go over and have a look tomorrow." Xu Chunjun said, "That kid has been tracking the whereabouts of his sister. I don't know if it was because of this incident."
The next day, Xu Chunjun went to Ke's house as expected.
Dai Mingzhi knew that Cen Yunchu was the closest to her, so he did not treat Xu Chunjun as an outsider.
"Chunjun, you haven't been to our house for some time." Dai Mingzhi took Xu Chunjun's hand and said, "If you come here today, sit around more. After dinner, go back and talk to me."
"I've wanted to come and see you for a long time, but I'm just busy all day long." Xu Chunjun said embarrassedly, "The last time I came back was in early August, and I said I would come to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake you made by yourself another day, but I didn't want to be delayed.
After such a long time, let alone the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I even missed the lion cake."
"It's better for young people to be busy. It's a good time to live a good life." Dai Mingzhi looked at Xu Chunjun and thought of his daughter, feeling sad in his heart. "It's okay to take care of the family, take care of your husband and raise your children. It's okay to live a peaceful life like this."
What a blessing!”
"I heard that Wang Chen was injured, so I rushed over to have a look." Xu Chunjun said, "I heard about it yesterday, but I didn't come over that evening."
"Good boy, I'm sorry for you. Nothing's wrong with him. This kid is just naughty and disobedient. He's been worrying me a lot since he was little." Dai Mingzhi said, "I'll go with you to see him, and you can give me some advice."
advise."
Xu Chunjun followed Dai Mingzhi to Ke Wangchen's room. Ke Wangchen smiled when he saw her: "Sister Xu, you are finally here. If you didn't come, I would have to ask someone to invite you."
"Is your injury okay?" Xu Chunjun came over and asked, "Do you have a problem with me?"
"Mom, I have something to say to Sister Xu." Ke Wangchen said, "Please step aside."
"This child is really unruly," Dai Mingzhi scolded his son, "That's your sister Xu. Anyone else would have blamed you for being rude."
"Yun Chu's younger brother is the same as my own younger brother," Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "How can I be surprised?"
"Okay, let's chat! I'll go to the kitchen and have a look. As promised, Chunjun must not leave. You must stay here to have a meal with me." Dai Mingzhi waited for Xu Chunjun to agree before going out.
"Wangchen, just tell me if you have anything." Xu Chunjun sat on the chair beside the bed, and Ke Wangchen's eyes told her that there was something important.
"Sister Xu, I want to ask you for a favor." Ke Wangchen said, "This matter is of great importance, and you are the only person I can trust with confidence."
