Depressed little landlord

"Father, do you really need to call Sixth Brother back?"

Over there, when Third Aunt was about to take a bath and take a break, not only Master Qi was there in the study of the Qi family as the two girls said, but also the young master of the Qi family. At this moment, Young Master Qi was standing behind Master Qi with a little caution. , with a little resentment on his face.

Mr. Qi stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright moon outside the window. Hearing the eldest son's question, he couldn't help but squeeze his palms together for a second and then let go. When Mr. Qi thought he would not get a response, he turned away body.

Although Young Master Qi quickly put away the expression on his face, he was still seen by Master Qi, but he didn't say anything.

Looking at his elder son who is similar to his own in appearance and ability, and thinking of his third son who is also good in ability, Mr. Qi feels very satisfied and gratified, but when he thinks of his sixth son, he feels a little irritable. a feeling of.

It’s no wonder that the eldest son, who has always been stable and decent, is like this. Other things are okay, and their family doesn’t care much about it, but for Bing... I believe anyone will be tempted, even he can’t help being impetuous when he is old , let alone the eldest son who is only in his thirties?

The self-mockery flashed away from the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "No, I'll see you later at the banquet, don't be in a hurry."

"Father is talking about that manager Gu..." Young Master Qi understood what his father meant after a little thought, so he nodded before he finished speaking, and took the initiative to change the subject.

"The kid will tell everyone in the family to be quiet. If Xiao Ling doesn't come back, just let him do other things and don't do anything else. I will also help Xiang Qing and them. They are busy preparing to buy and build a house. Matters, materials are prepared for them, if they don't find a good man, they will prepare together, lest others say that our family is empty, what do you think?"

"Well, it's good, you go ahead and come to me if there is anything you can't solve. By the way, spend more time talking with your mother. As for the man from Fucheng...you can figure it out."

"Yes, father, the boy will leave."

Master Qi waved his hand to signal him to go back, and when the person left, he turned around and continued to look at the bright moon in the sky with his face raised slightly, perhaps because he was too close to the window and his face was covered with a hazy light , and the jumping lights in the house cast on the side, making the expression look obscure for a long time.

It seems that the people Xiao Liu knows are all smart people.

***

The banquet arrived as scheduled, and almost all the small and well-off people in the town came, filling up the largest restaurant in the town, but the owner hadn't come yet.People didn't make a lot of noise, just a small group gathered together to discuss in a low voice, and the shop assistants walked around the hall with all their strength, refilling tea and water for each table.

The arrival of Lin Er caused a small commotion, and then the arrival of the young master of the Qi family caused a small upsurge. Many people stood up and went forward to say hello, only a few who kept their identities did not go, Lin Er was not like this , although he has a good face, he can clearly distinguish the situation. After all, the Qi family is a real local in this small town, and their Lin family only moved here, so even if the Qi family came only young As for his eldest son, he arrived later, and he was just about to take his seat under the praise of some people. When he saw Young Master Qi, he got up again and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"The eldest nephew is here, come and sit here."

Since Lin Da had a good relationship with Mr. Qi from the Qi family when he was still there, Lin Er still had the cheek to call him his nephew.Young Master Qi smiled, just like facing other people before, he didn't object to his title, and called him "uncle" along with him, which made Lin Er laugh even more happily.

Young Master Qi exchanged a few more words with him, his eyes seemed to glance around randomly, and sure enough, he saw that Xiang Qing, who had been in the limelight recently, was in a diagonal corner surrounded by people, although he knew those people and their I don’t have much contact with him, but thinking about what my father asked him to tell me before I came here, I calmed down and didn’t go there, but followed Lin Er to the table in the middle with a smile on his face. go.

There had already been a few more prestigious old men in the town sitting there.Originally, according to his age, he should not have come to this table, but today he represents the Qi family, so it is not unreasonable.

Although one or two of them were a little worried during the sitting, they didn't say anything, and the host of the banquet finally showed up, and everyone in the hall moved away one after another, and all went to pay attention to the manager Gu contract.

The same is true for Young Master Lin Erqi.They were also a little curious about this manager Gu, after all, they hadn't gotten any definite news about him before coming here.

"I'm really sorry, because of Gu's unreasonable demands, everyone came here in the midst of their busy schedules, Gu is really ashamed." Steward Gu came to the center, took the wine glass poured by the guy next to him, and raised his hand to salute all around Apologize, "It's my respect for Gu Mou to do it first."

"Good talk good talk!"

Everyone was very face-saving, and they raised their glasses at the same time. Xiang Qing also raised his glasses, and carefully looked at each other's corns with the posture of drinking. His eyelids slightly covered the light in his eyes. Talking to people hahaha, always a little careless.If he always laughs and jokes about certain topics in his restaurant recently, or uses the word "secret" with a look of begging, it can make people choke so much that they want to vomit blood, or want to beat him to relieve his anger.

I don't know what kind of luck this kid has had in the past two years. He got new recipes one after another, and made the original ordinary shop almost inferior to the restaurant they stayed in. Now, no one knows that there is a restaurant in the town fame?Didn't you see that even the people from Fucheng wanted to see him by name?

Facing the envious and jealous gazes around him, either secretly or blatantly, the old god Xiang Qing's smile remained the same, and he was very calm.Because he has seen this kind of gaze a lot recently, and when he was proud of himself, he married the benefactor who was able to have the current situation-the brother's daughter-in-law was really too right.

Hahaha, if these people knew that these things were thought up by the young master of the Lin family who they dismissed at the beginning, would they want to poke their eyes blind?Blame them for being too blind?

Xiang Qing's face was calm, but he was still a little wary in his heart. He had discussed with Xu Yang Linxuan before taking out the ice. This thing must be too eye-catching in their small place. The contract has been reported, but they are still a little selfish and don't want to be exposed so quickly, but they can't keep it with their ability, so they can only do this temporarily.Qi Ling also thought of this, so he didn't go home intentionally or unintentionally, and the Qi family seemed to be very sensible, but they didn't relax, so although he was joking around with people he knew better now as usual, his mind was always on On Young Master Qi in the center, it is estimated that they would come to him on such an occasion, even though they had been quiet before and did not come to him or Xiao Lingzi.

Although everyone was smiling and chatting with the people around them, they all knew what was going on in their hearts, but the scene looked harmonious and harmonious.

There are not many people who come to Xiang Qing, and the content is nothing more than wanting to buy ice with him, or the best cooperation with him, but Xiang Qing is too strict, and there is no way to get it out of him. Click on the news.

When they saw that Steward Gu also came this way as expected, the big guy knew and was entangled. They haven't gotten any benefits in their own town yet, and they are about to be taken away by others. How much? They were all a bit unwilling, but because they were afraid of the people or forces behind that person, they didn't dare to act rashly.

Xiang Qing was also a little uncertain, although he and Xu Yang had confirmed that this person could not be from any other prefecture, but he did not dare to be 100% sure that the other party was not from another prefecture, but they all had the bottom line. It was nothing more than a few things, so he finally accepted the invitation of this somewhat unpredictable manager Gu.

When I heard what the other party said, I was relieved-as expected.

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, Gu came here sincerely, and even looked at the shopkeeper to show his face."

Xiang Qing slightly put away the smile on his face, and replied with a bit of distress: "Xiang also really wants to do this, thanks to Manager Gu's liking for Xiang's small business, but...unfortunately, I can't do this either. Decided, can Xiang X go back and discuss it with his family before replying?"

"It should be, it should be, it is Gu who is abrupt, so when the shopkeeper has made a decision, he can come at any time, and Gu is waiting for good news at any time."

"It's easy to say, hahaha——"

Steward Gu didn't bother, just bowed his hands and left a sentence, everyone left Xiang Qing's side at will, and when they returned to the central table, the people on Xiang Qing's side finally spoke again.

Everyone looked at Xiang Qing with an indescribable taste, and Xiang Qing didn't pay attention to them, he just smiled and greeted them to eat and drink quickly, and go back to accompany Qi Ling early after they were done, which made everyone look at him more complicated.

……

After that dinner, the people in the town stopped for a while, and what made everyone curious, the manager Gu said it in front of everyone, and asked Xiang Qing to give him an answer after thinking about it. For a while, he stretched his neck and waited, but almost a month had passed, and there was no movement from Xiang Qing's side, and the strange thing was that Manager Gu didn't come to the door to remind him.

Both parties are very calm, what to do every day, Gu Guanshi also meets this visitor and that person, or runs around the villages with his personal servants - it is said that it is to see the scenery and understand the people's sentiments.

It made the hearts of everyone who wanted to watch the excitement tickle, but they seemed to have forgotten the agreement. It's really strange!

Because of their actions during this period, the Qi family and Lin Er, who had obtained the identity information of Manager Gu after the banquet, somewhat relieved their worries, and felt a little grateful that they could spend more time to inquire about each other's news.

The more Lin Er got the identity information of Manager Gu, the less vigilant he was to the other party. In addition, as they expected, the grain harvest decreased. After the tax was collected, the grain received by their rice shop was indeed much less. After making preparations in advance, there is still plenty in the warehouse, and their shop can support it by the end of the year.

Time to make a fortune.

And what made him even more happy was that the deadline was getting closer, and according to the people he asked to pay attention to Lin Xuan and the others, those people didn't move at all, although because of Xiang Qing's presence, the communication They are not afraid of Yinliang, but they have no news about the other conditions.

How can this not make him happy "Come here—"

"Master, what are your orders?"

Lin Er didn't care when he saw that the person who responded was not the usual old housekeeper, he was still in a good mood and handed him the hastily written letter: "You take this letter and send it to Liu's house in Fucheng immediately, don't Do you know about the delay?"

The young servant couldn't hide his excitement, he took the letter with his hands slightly shaking, and replied loudly: "Yes! Master! I will definitely do it!" I didn't expect such a good thing to come across on the first day of duty today. Then his status in the Lin family will definitely rise a lot in the future.

Lin Er didn't care about the servant's thoughts, but just waved his hand to signal him to go down. The male servant hurriedly withdrew, and after going out the door, he couldn't help puffing out his chest, raised his chin slightly and walked out with an air. His gaze made him a little flustered.Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, he happened to meet the old housekeeper who was rushing towards him, and then he came back to his senses and quickly bowed his head to tell the other party what happened. Unexpectedly, the old housekeeper waved his hand in a hurry and told him to go to work quickly, and then walked He went to the study without stopping.

There is something important to report to the master.

The manservant scratched his neck and watched the figure of the old butler disappear behind the door. While thinking to himself, he turned and walked out, touched his chest to feel the touch there, and a strange color flashed in his eyes, which was fleeting.

He should hurry up and finish what the master ordered!
