A car accident, our family of three crossed

"Yes! This child is very smart. May God have mercy on our Chu family!" The old Duke smoothed his beard and agreed with Chu Zheng's point of view. Then, he straightened his face and said to Master Chu, "This matter cannot be delayed. Write a letter immediately and have someone deliver it to the third brother without stopping."

Master Chu nodded, stood up and walked to the desk. Chu Zheng followed him and ground ink for him.

The Chu family comes from a military background and has been in the army for generations. Since the time of the previous emperor, they have made many military achievements. Even the old lady had fought on the battlefield with the old duke. It can be said that half of the Dongli Dynasty was conquered by the Chu family.

It is no wonder that when the current emperor first ascended the throne, he was wary of the Chu family, and therefore condoned some of the Qi family's wrongdoings, resulting in the Qi family's current strength and expansion of their ambitions.

Because of the emperor's fear, the Chu family had to keep a low profile. Since Prince Rui Xiao Yun grew up, the Chu family began to adjust its approach.

The second uncle gave up the army to go into business, and the eldest uncle also retired from the battlefield and returned to the capital to take up a post. Now only the third master leads the Chu family army to guard the border all year round, building a solid line of defense to resist foreign enemies.

"This method can not only play a great role on the battlefield, but also provide convenience to the people in the civilian community. It's really good!" The old Duke continued to deploy, "It's time to reward you, Fang'er, how is the profit of the noodle shop you set up? Is it time to settle the dividends? Send more silver when the time comes, and the extra part will be mine, the old man."

Since he can't see his granddaughter in person, as a grandfather, he can at least give her some money!

Chu Fang was a little speechless, "Grandfather, how much do you want to give?"

After all, it is just a small business. If too many dividends are given out at once, it may easily arouse suspicion.

Otherwise, if there must be a reasonable reason, he would have sent it long ago. Is it still my grandfather's turn to remind me?

Xiao Yun advised, "Grandfather, I understand that you love your granddaughter very much, but if you rashly send them too much silver, I'm afraid it will make them think too much, which may not be a good thing."

Chu Fang continued, "That's right. You haven't been with them before, so you don't understand them. They are a very smart couple, and it's not easy to fool them."

"Then what should I do? As an old man, don't I just want to give some money to my granddaughter and great-grandson? Even this can't satisfy you." The old Duke was so distressed that he wanted to blew his beard and glared.

"Grandfather, if you are worried about their poor family and want to give them money to improve their lives, there is no need to do so."

At this point, Xiao Yun couldn't help but chuckle, "You may not know much about jewelry. We have recently launched many new styles in Jubao Pavilion. The ladies in Beijing are almost breaking down the threshold of Jubao Pavilion for these new styles."

The old Duke was very puzzled. "Why are you talking about jewelry for no reason? What does this have to do with your sister?"

"Of course it matters, because those new styles that are being snapped up by the ladies of various families are designed by your granddaughter, my sister." Xiao Yun smiled and suggested, "If you really want to give money to your granddaughter, you might as well take care of the business of Jubao Pavilion and let her earn more dividends."

Over there, Master Chu finished writing a letter and came back to tease, "Your Highness is really smart. He even does business for his family members."

The old Duke's joke cheered up the depressed old Duke. He slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, this deal is done. I'll go to Jubao Pavilion to pick one for your grandmother."

On the one hand, I can buy jewelry as a gift for my spouse, and on the other hand, my granddaughter can get a share of the profits. It's killing two birds with one stone, the old man thought happily.

Therefore, in order to allow his granddaughter to get more dividends, the old Duke ordered several elders of the Chu family to go to Jubao Pavilion to choose a piece of jewelry as a gift for their wives.

Of course, this is a story for later.

It's a pity that although their Chu family has many male members, there is not even a girl in such a big family. It's full of men and boys. How can they not be attracted by the pearl whom they have never met before?

Several old gentlemen talked in the study until the evening. The old lady sent someone to tell them to go to the front hall for dinner. Only then did they end their conversation and come out of the study.

When he arrived at the front hall, he was inevitably scolded by the old lady, "You guys, all you have in your eyes and minds all day are the affairs of state and the court, and you are still restless even at home."

A bunch of big men nodded and accepted it. No one would refute someone who really wanted to care about them.

Xiao Yun and his son had dinner at the Duke's Mansion, waited for a while, and then left.

On the way back home, Xiao Jing sat in the carriage, happily playing with the puppet toy given to him by his little cousin from the Duke's Mansion. He chattered non-stop with his father about the interesting things he had done in the Duke's Mansion that afternoon.

At this moment, he had completely forgotten his fear that his father would be unhappy because of his playfulness. He only wanted to share his happiness and joy with his most respected father.

Xiao Yun was a little distracted as he looked at the little fellow who was enjoying himself, then he came back to his senses when he heard the baby chattering.

He chuckled, this is how a child should look. Compared to his previous appearance of always being mature and acting like a little adult, this is much more pleasing to the eye. A child should look like a child.

After handing over the method of making dried noodles, Song Ning was not very concerned about how others would use it.

After she dried two more batches of noodles, the amount she had stored was enough for her family to eat for the whole winter, so she stopped making noodles.

Recently she has been preparing some dry food, including dried fish and meat, meat sauce, canned meat, canned fish, etc. This took a lot of time.

By the time she finished these things, it was already the end of October and the weather was getting colder. The things she made, bottles and jars, etc., could be stored for a long time as long as they were not opened.

As for why she went to all this trouble, it was mainly for gifts.

When Zhou Huan and his family return to the capital, ask them to bring some to the capital to give to the two.

She knew that a family like theirs had everything they needed, and they probably wouldn't be interested in valuables, so she could only cook some food herself. After all, from their previous interactions, she knew that they were very particular about the taste of their food.

Soon, the date for the Zhou family to set off back to Beijing was set on the tenth day of November.

When Zhou Ru came to inform Song Ning, Song Ning asked them to wait for them on the day of departure. After all, there were quite a few things to bring with them, and it seemed inconvenient to send them over in advance.
