Things have been uneasy everywhere recently. The borders have been invaded repeatedly, and the imperial court has issued conquest orders from time to time. The life of merchants has not been easy, and the Mu family's business has also been affected a lot. Therefore, Mu Qingyang has hardly been to the backyard in the past few days.
I was busy in the study every day until midnight before going back to my yard to take a rest, and went out again before dawn.
For several days in a row, Luo Shao followed Mu Qingyang back to his house to discuss matters. The two of them talked in the study very late. Mu Qingyang later even asked someone to clean up a room for him in the guest room. He said it was too late and asked him not to leave.
We went back and stayed in the guest room. It would be more convenient to go out together the next morning.
Luo Shao originally wanted to shirk it, but then he thought that it would indeed reduce the traveling time, so he agreed.
That day's dinner was delivered directly to the study. Luo Shao and Mu Qingyang were chatting about business while eating. Mu Qingyang had always admired Luo Shao. This young man was very smart, had a broad vision, and was willing to endure hardships. He was
After being transferred from the store to being with me, I didn't feel arrogant about my talent, but became more calm and cautious.
In fact, the rumors in the house were not wrong. He did have the idea of recruiting Luo Shao as his son-in-law. Luo Shao was only twenty-five this year. His family was simple and he had never married. Mu Qingyang once asked him. He
After being silent for a long time, he told him that he had a long-lost sister. The biggest reason why he went to the Mu family's shop in the first place was because the Mu family's business was so widespread. He thought that he might be able to find his sister with the help of the Mu family's power.
.
Mu Qingyang secretly sent someone to look for his sister, but they failed, which made him very disappointed.
He knew that his two sons, Hongjing, were too aggressive, and Yuchen was introverted and cold. Neither of them were suitable for business, so he wanted to choose some people for his sons who could help them, and Luo Shao was the first.
The best way to completely bind Luo Shao to work loyally for the Mu family is to choose someone by marriage.
Naturally, the four daughters of the Mu family, the eldest daughter and Lan Xi cannot be touched, so he is considering the third daughter Jin Han. Jin Han is an introvert and is not suitable for marrying into a famous family. Even if she becomes a mistress, she will not be able to move.
She was being taken advantage of by a concubine, so it would be better to recruit a son-in-law for her. Firstly, he would not be afraid of being bullied by others. After all, he still doted on Mrs. Xia, knowing that she had been worried about her daughter's marriage. Secondly,
It can be said that Luo Shao, a young talent, can be caught. As for the fourth daughter Siya, that girl is quick-thinking and not as calm as her mother Meng, so Jin Han is the best candidate.
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will handle this matter and won't let it get serious." Mu Qingyang appreciated Luo Shao's lack of humility and silence. He handed the account book in his hand to Mu Qingyang,
Added another sentence, "Most of the shops in the north have been evacuated. Now that the war is about to break out, it is best for our people to come back early."
Mu Qingyang nodded: "You handled this matter very well. Be careful not to move too much, otherwise it will easily cause unnecessary panic."
The Mu family's business is not large in the north. As soon as Mu Qingyang received the news from the capital, he asked Luo Shao to withdraw the business. Luo Shao also did a very good job. He withdrew what he could and what he couldn't.
They try their best to transfer at the lowest price and try every means to minimize losses.
"Thank you for your hard work these days." Mu Qingyang took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Luo Shao, "I am a businessman, and I don't understand Xu and Shewei's tricks. I know you have always wanted to buy something in Linyang City.
Let’s go to a house and bring your family over.”
"Master..." Even though Luo Shao was usually very calm, when he saw the contents in the envelope, he couldn't help but stand up and said in shock: "Master, I can't accept it."
This is a land deed. The Mu family has many houses in Linyang City, some of which are vacant. However, the house he gave Luo Shao is the best of all the vacant houses. It is not too big.
It is located at the bottom of Nanjie Street, which is a quiet place in the bustle. It is very convenient to enter and exit, and it is not far from Mu Mansion. Someone bought this house from Mu Qingyang before, but he never agreed, but he did not expect that it was given to Luo Shao.
"Luo Shao, compared to these dead things, you are the one I like more." Mu Qingyang knows how to make good use of others. He has been in the business field for many years and knows very well the principle of decentralization of power.
He knows very well how to win people's hearts and give his subordinates what they need most in order to firmly retain their loyalty. To Mu Qingyang, these things are a drop in the bucket, but for those young people, they may not be able to obtain them after a lifetime of hard work.
"My subordinate knows that this house is worth a thousand taels, so for the time being, I borrowed money from the master to buy it. I will pay back the money in the future." Luo Shao said very cleverly. He accepted the house, but said that he asked for it himself.
Mu Qingyang borrowed money to buy it, and this time he recognized the ownership of the house.
Mu Qingyang smiled and nodded, and he admired Luo Shao even more in his heart. He could be so indifferent to emotions and anger. This young man's future will definitely be limitless. He silently thought about how to deal with it in his heart.
He will stay in the Mu family forever.
The two discussed some more details, and it was getting late. Mu Qingyang asked him not to go back to the house tonight, but to go back to the guest room to rest early. He would go to the suburbs to do business early tomorrow morning. Luo Shao nodded and left first.
He turned to a long corridor and suddenly saw a light-colored petite figure waiting there. He frowned and stopped. When the petite figure saw him stop, he immediately walked over and scanned carefully.
After looking around, he made sure there was no one around and immediately whispered: "My wife invites Mr. Luo to go to Beiyuan for a gathering."
"Who is your wife?" Luo Shao took two steps back and kept a safe distance from the maid. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the person carefully. He had been walking around Mu Mansion a lot recently and met several ladies and ladies.
, were no strangers to the maids around them, but the person in front of him was very unfamiliar, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"This servant is the maid of the Fifth Madam. The Fifth Madam asked her to wait here for Young Master Luo, and she must convey Madam's words to the Young Master." The maid's tone was calm, but Luo Shao could still see her nervousness, but he replied calmly.
He said: "When did Madam make an appointment?"
The maid seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "At 1:11, Linxiang Pavilion in Beiyuan, please come to your appointment on time."
"Okay, I will go." Luo Shao nodded, looked at the maid, and said strangely: "I don't think I have seen you before."
"The maid doesn't often follow the fifth lady. She usually works in the yard, so it's natural that the young master has never seen the maid." After the maid finished speaking, she left in a hurry. Luo Shao looked at Beiyuan with a half-smile.
direction, the smile on his lips grew wider.
Jiang? It’s really interesting, getting more and more interesting.
