Chapter 16 Eccentricity

Of the three wives of the Chu family, the first lady was from a wealthy family, and the second lady was the daughter of Ding Kaishan, the owner of the Kaishan Martial Art Museum in Tongzhou Prefecture. Only the third lady had no background and was just the daughter of an ordinary small businessman. Only then can Mei marry Chu Zongguang.

But the only advantage of this third lady is that she is smart, knowing that her background is not good, so she doesn't fight or grab her. In the end, the second lady wants to take the initiative to win her over.

At this time the second lady came to Chu Shang's house, the third lady immediately came out of the house, greeted her with a smile: "Sister came to my place today, why didn't you tell me in advance."

Chu Shang also followed behind the third lady, and called Erniang respectfully.

The second lady nodded, and after pulling someone into the house, said calmly: "It's just chatting, what else do you need to say in advance? By the way, the shops under Shang'er are not bad, right? Are they enough?"

The complexion of the third lady changed, and she hurriedly said: "Shang'er's shops are all inns and restaurants that don't make much money, except for those that are handed over to the family, they don't have much money, but Shang'er didn't think about it either. I'm going to fight for the position of some heir, so this benefit is just right."

Seeing that the third lady seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, the second lady smiled and said: "My sister misunderstood, I didn't mean that, Shang'er is still young, even if he doesn't want to fight for the head of the family, he still has to hold some Businesses with higher profits are just like what you said just now, my sister, those businesses in Shanger's hands don't have much profit."

The eyes of both the third lady and Chu Shang lit up, and the third lady said without moving her expression: "But the Chu family has so much business, the master has already given those shops to Chu Shang, I will go to ask for it again, some people don't know what to do gone."

The second lady stood up and said, "It doesn't matter what the master wants, but you can exchange it with someone else. I heard that Chu Xiu's caravan has been making good profits recently. The profit of the caravan has even more than doubled in his hands."

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

After the second lady left, the third lady and Chu Shang looked at each other, and they almost made up their minds.

The third wife has no background, and Chu Shang is too young, so it is not up to them to fight.

But they didn't fight because they couldn't compete with the boss of the Chu family, nor could they compete with the third child of the Chu family.

But Chu Xiu, who has no background and is not liked by Chu Zongguang, they can still snatch him.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Xiu was practicing swordsmanship in his courtyard. The simplest swordmanship of the green dragon in the sleeve had almost become instinctive after 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 people, how can you develop real killing skills?

Suddenly someone knocked on the door outside the house, he opened the door, an old man stood outside the door and said: "Second Young Master, the master calls you to come over."

The person who came was Steward Chen, and Chu Xiu also knew that 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.

Moreover, this Steward Chen is also very polite to Chu Xiu. In Chu Xiu's memory, when he was in the Chu family, the elders and uncles of the Chu family, as well as the big housekeepers like Liu Steward, had a very good attitude towards him. He was very arrogant, and only this steward Chen could still call him the second son every time he saw Chu Xiu.

In reciprocation, Chu Xiu was also very polite to Butler Chen, he nodded and said, "Butler Chen, wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and go over."

After changing his clothes, Chu Xiu followed Steward Chen to Chu Zongguang's residence, but Steward Chen suddenly said on the way, "Second Young Master, wait for what the Master says, and I hope you can calm down, Second Young Master."

Speaking of which, Housekeeper Chen also sighed. Chu Zongguang did go too far in some things, but the family is like this, and there is no so-called fairness at all. He is just worried that the second son's character is a bit radical now. It would be a bit bad if Chu Zongguang did something that shouldn't be done.

Hearing what Steward Chen said, Chu Xiu immediately knew that there was probably nothing good this time.

However, Chu Xiu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Butler Chen, for reminding me, I have my sense of proportion."

After rebirth, the fusion of the memories of the two lives was naturally dominated by the memory of Chu Xiu in the previous life, but the memory of this life also somewhat affected his character.

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

In this life, Chu Xiu's previous character was cowardly and reckless. This character did not affect Chu Xiu. On the contrary, in this year in the Nanshan mining area, Chu Xiu in this life was contaminated with some tyrannical and crazy temperament, but it had some influence. Now Chuxiu's character.

For example, when Li Tong from the Li family provoked Chu Xiu, Chu Xiu stabbed a person to death without hesitation. Afterwards, Chu Xiu didn't feel any discomfort at all.

Of course, even if Chu Xiu's character is mixed with a little tyranny and madness, he is also confident that he will suppress it and will not do bad things at critical moments.

Chu Xiu was led into Chu Zongguang's study by Housekeeper Chen. At this time, besides Chu Zongguang, there was also the fourth brother Chushang in Chu Zongguang's study.

"I have seen my father."

Chu Xiu bowed to Chu Zongguang, and Chu Shang on his side also bowed to Chu Xiu, with a respectful expression on his face, "I've seen my second brother."

Chu Xiu's eyes narrowed. His fourth brother has never been called 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 cupped his hands and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it, Father."

Chu Zongguang said: "During this period of time, your caravan has developed well. I didn't expect that you have grown a lot after training in the Nanshan mining area for this year. Regardless of whether you will become the heir of my Chu family in the future, but in the future It must also be the mainstay of my Chu family, so you brothers must be harmonious and help each other."

Chu Xiu frowned secretly. What Chu Zongguang said was a bit strange. Doesn't Chu Zongguang know what happened to their brothers? To restore harmony between brothers, now that they look like this, they are almost stabbed face to face.

But thinking so in his heart, Chu Xiu still nodded and said: "My lord father said so."

Chu Zongguang nodded and said: "It's good if you can think this way. It's like this. Although Chu Shang is still young, he has changed his experience. The last time you personally led the caravan to the country of Yan, it's very good. , Chu Shang now also wants to learn from your second brother and lead the caravan to practice.

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

There was a haze in Chu Xiu's eyes. No wonder Housekeeper Chen wanted to calm him down. His cheap father's bias was too obvious.

When the caravan is in danger, it doesn't go away, and when the income is low, it doesn't go away. After he has opened up all the trade routes and can safely and unimpeded, then he is going to let Chu hurt go. This peach picking is too ugly. some.

Steward Chen on the side also stared at Chu Xiu nervously, for fear that he could not help but get angry on the spot.

However, to the surprise of Steward Chen, Chu Xiu was only silent for a while, and then he raised his head and smiled and said, "Since Father has already made a decision, well, I will leave the caravan to my fourth brother."

Chu Zongguang nodded in satisfaction. He seeks stability in everything, and what he hates most is that his son disobeys his will.

Seeing that Chu Xiu was so knowledgeable, Chu Zongguang said: "I am satisfied to see that you brothers are in harmony. In this way, the shops under Chu Shang's command are all inns and restaurants. I will give you another weapon shop, and I will hand it over to you to open it together." reason."

Chu Zongguang turned his head to Chu Shang again and said, "Although the caravan is yours, you are still young, so you have to learn with humility. In this way, when the caravan leaves, I will ask Lin Qian to go with you."

There was a gleam of coldness in Chu Xiu's eyes. Lin Qian was one of the two strongest disciples of the Chu family. He had the strength of the blood coagulation level. He was only responsible for instructing some disciples of the Chu family on their cultivation.

At the beginning, Shangmang Mountain was extremely dangerous, but Chu Zongguang just told him to be careful, but now it was changed to Chu Shang, and there were guards from blood coagulation level, all of whom were sons, but the difference was not even a little bit.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn't feel unbalanced. He never regarded Chu Zongguang as his father in his heart, including the memory of his body's previous life. He only had fear of Chu Zongguang.

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

There was a smug look in Chu Shang's eyes, first he bowed his head to Chu Zongguang and said, "Thank you, father."

Then he deliberately cupped his hands at Chu Xiu and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "It's nothing, but the business road is rough, fourth brother, you'd better be careful."

After finishing speaking, Chu Xiu left directly, but there was a cold look in his eyes.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, what he hates the most is that someone robs him of his things!
