The little ancestor of the family

Ye Xinran thought this was a good idea.

Ever since what happened to Lu Tingen, Leng Qingyu didn't say anything and seemed unaffected, but she was always unhappy.

If this Zhong Yujian can make my mother happy, it would be a good thing.

But this still depends on the mother's own wishes.

Ye Xinran called Manager Jin in, and the three of them discussed the shipping matter briefly.

Shopkeeper Jin knew everything about the store, so later on in the conversation, it was basically just Shopkeeper Jin and Zhong Yujian who were discussing the matter.

Speaking of business, Zhong Yujian immediately compared the price and safety of his own ships with the transport ships previously used by the Leng family.

He explained each point clearly and concisely, and in the end, after comparison, the price offered by the Zhong family was 10% lower than before, and the guarantee was 20% better than before.

Even people like Ye Xinran who don’t know much know what to choose.

Shopkeeper Jin expressed his concerns: "We have such a large volume of goods. If we suddenly stop cooperating with the Wang family today, will they cause trouble for you?"

Zhong Yujian smiled softly, "Shopkeeper Jin, don't worry about this kind of thing. We will handle it ourselves."

"That's fine, that's fine."

When Manager Jin heard Zhong Yujian announce the name of his own fleet, he realized how powerful he was in the Lianghuai area.

They had wanted to cooperate with this fleet before, but after inquiring, the other party said that they already had a fixed partner, so Manager Jin regretfully looked for another company.

However, Shopkeeper Jin did not give up his vigilance.

"It's not that I don't trust Boss Zhong, but according to the rules, I have to send someone to Yancheng to find out. Once I have confirmed everything here, I will sign the contract with Boss Zhong."

"Of course." Zhong Yujian said, "Manager Jin wants to send someone to investigate, so it's not convenient for me to arrange for someone to receive you. You can go ahead and tell me when you have investigated it clearly."

"it is good!"

Shopkeeper Jin was very satisfied with Zhong Yujian's attitude.

Being able to cooperate with such a large fleet and having such great initiative, it has to be said that they are really getting an advantage.

After discussing the business matters, Ye Xinran stood up and said goodbye, "Uncle Zhong, we'll meet at Huichunlou tonight."

"it is good!"

Zhong Yujian agreed.

It has been more than ten years since he last returned to the capital.

When I came back this time, I felt that everything and everyone had changed.

The buildings along the roadside have not changed much, but the people seem to be much more energetic than before.

"Manager Jin, I've seen people setting up stalls on the roadside looking radiant these past two days. Is there something good going on?"

He asked Shopkeeper Jin.

Shopkeeper Jin had already collected the account book, and now they were chatting like acquaintances. He said:

"Don't you know? The new emperor has issued an order that all shops in the capital will be exempted from 10% tax this year. The grain tax in all counties will be reduced from 40% to 30%. How can the people not be happy when they hear this news?"

As he spoke, he opened the window of the reception room and pointed to the street outside: "Look, this road alone is much busier than before. There are many more people setting up stalls and buying things on the road than before."

"So that's how it is!" Zhong Yujian stood by the window. "I've been on the road these days and haven't paid attention to the news. Our new emperor is really ruthless and really cares about the lives of the people!"

"Yes!"

Shopkeeper Jin was also very emotional, "Although the emperor is young, he has also experienced hardships. Only by experiencing these hardships can he truly understand the difficulties faced by the people."

Zhong Yujian and Manager Jin sighed for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.

"It's getting late, so I'll go to the restaurant first and wait for Qingyu and the others."

Shopkeeper Jin noticed that Zhong Yujian was a little nervous, and took the initiative to say, "Okay, I'll let my clerk lead the way for you.

But you don't have to worry, my eldest daughter hasn't really been angry with you over the years."

"Is she really not angry? Then why didn't she even want to see me in the past few years?"

Zhong Yujian was somewhat happy.

Shopkeeper Jin, "Of course my eldest daughter has some considerations for not meeting me, but when she talked to me about it, she really wasn't too angry.

She just felt that you ran away from home a little too suddenly, and she felt a little sad. "

"Is that really the case? She, she is sad?"

Although Zhong Yujian occasionally felt regretful over the years, when he heard Leng Qingyu's sadness, he suddenly felt at a loss.

Did you really do something wrong?

The waiter arranged by Manager Jin had already come over. Zhong Yujian didn't have time to think about it and followed him out the door.

Huichunlou is located in the center of the busiest market in the capital and has a total of four floors.

From the highest floor, you can not only see the lake view, but also overlook Ling'an Temple and listen to the bells from the temple, so it has always been very popular.

Ye Xinran had already reserved a seat here.

As soon as Zhong Yujian arrived, the waiter led everyone directly to the fourth floor.

Tea and snacks had already been prepared in the private room. After the waiter sent the person in, he turned around and left.

Zhong Yujian sat by the window, admiring the lake view downstairs while thinking about what Manager Jin had just said to her.

"Is she sad? Really sad?"

Zhong Yujian muttered to himself and took out a jade seal from his arms. His name was engraved on the seal. This was the gift Leng Qingyu gave him that year.

I have been wandering around for many years, and whenever I really miss my father, I take out the seal and look at it. Over time, the jade seal has become clear and very warm.

What happened back then was because he was impulsive.

If you are not impulsive, you won't suffer at the hands of Lu Tingen.

He went to the Lu family originally to ask for an explanation, but he never expected that as soon as they met, Lu Tingen handed a sword to him and then bumped into him.

This self-torture tactic worked very well.

Leng Qingyu turned against him directly, and he ran away from home in anger, fulfilling Lu Tingen's wish.

Later, whenever he thought of this, Zhong Yujian regretted it so much.

If he didn't go to the Marquis' Mansion, would he not have fallen into Lu Tingen's trap?

If he explained it to Qingyu, would she not be so angry that she slapped herself?

If he hadn't run away from home after being beaten, would Qingyu's marriage have had a chance of turning around?

But these are all hindsight. By the time you figure it out, it’s too late.

Zhong Yujian thought about this and couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Can that child persuade Qingyu? What if Qingyu refuses to come?

Now that Lu Tingen is gone, will Qingyu think that I have other intentions if I come to him so eagerly?

Although, he does.

While my mind was in a mess thinking about these things, the door of the private room suddenly creaked open, and the waiter stood at the door and said, "Sir, please come in!"

Zhong Yujian's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head stiffly and saw a person appear at the door.
