Chapter 99
Walking to the gate of the city, Zuo Shaoqing saw Zuo Yunyang waiting there with someone and two dark sedan chairs parked beside him, so he couldn't help but glance at Lu Zheng.
He didn't believe that it was a coincidence that the second uncle appeared here.
Lu Zheng carried him off the horse and handed him to Zuo Yunyang, and then carefully instructed him, and handed him two medicine bottles, "Remember to take the medicine once a day."
Zuo Shaoqing knew a little about medicine, so he recognized that one of the bottles was the golden sore medicine used today, and the other bottle, which he smelled and guessed, should be a plaster for removing scars.
The things Lu Zheng brought out were definitely not bad. Zuo Shaoqing thanked her and stuffed them into her arms, then bowed to Zuo Yunyang, "It's my nephew's fault for troubling my second uncle to wait here for so long!"
Zuo Yunyang saluted Lu Zheng first, then turned around and blinked at Zuo Shaoqing and said, "Today, our uncle and nephew went to the Hongyuan Temple outside the city to pray, so we came back late, and we have to go to the elder brother's house later. Make a fuss."
Zuo Shaoqing knew that he was making excuses for himself, so he appreciated it very much.
Zuo Yunyang whispered to Lu Zheng again, but Zuo Shaoqing only heard a few words, as if he was talking about the Cao Gang's accounting problems.
Lu Zheng has always been impatient to take care of these general affairs, "Leave this matter to Shao Qing." He said and threw a dark wooden sign into Zuo Shaoqing's arms.
It wasn't the first time Zuo Shaoqing saw this thing. It was because of this wooden sign that he recognized Lu Zheng's identity. What does the Way of Nature represent?
He asked in surprise, "For me?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "Learn to do it first, and you can ask the housekeeper if you don't understand."
Zuo Shaoqing knew Lu Zheng's intentions when he heard the words, and he was half happy and half worried. He had never taken care of the house, and he didn't know if he was competent.
Lu Zheng straightened his long hair that was blown by the wind, then jumped on the horse, gave Zuo Shaoqing a deep look, and led them into the city.
After being surprised, Zuo Yunyang said happily: "Congratulations Shao Qing, it seems that Mr. Lu really treats you sincerely." To be honest, he was not optimistic about the relationship between the two at the beginning. What is Lu Zheng's identity?What kind of person do you want?
But for today's actions, notifying him to pick him up, and giving him the token representing the Duke of Zhen, is enough to show how much he attaches importance to this nephew.
It seems that Zuo Shaoqing's future must be extremely precious, but fortunately, I did not refuse his cooperation at the beginning.
Zuo Shaoqing put away the things, and smiled shyly at Zuo Yunyang: "Second uncle was joking, let's go back quickly."
"No hurry, no hurry, I'll meet someone first." Zuo Yunyang waved towards the sedan chair, and saw a short man running over immediately.
"Guan Ke?" Zuo Shaoqing looked at Ke Youliang, whom he hadn't seen for several months, in surprise, and asked, "Have you returned from the sea?"
Ke Youliang saluted respectfully, "Boss, this servant has finally lived up to your trust and returned smoothly."
He kept his posture very low. On the one hand, he sincerely admired this young boss, and on the other hand, he also saw that Zuo Yunyang had a different attitude towards him. In addition, the group of people who rode past just now, wanted to know the current situation. Zuo Sanye is no longer what he used to be.
"Talk while walking." Zuo Shaoqing got on one of the sedan chairs, opened the curtain and talked with Ke Youliang.
It turned out that Ke Youliang did not go too far this time, the boat sailed for a month, and arrived at a large island, where he exchanged tea and cloth for many rare things.
"The little one rented a small shop in Kyoto on his own initiative, and plans to open a branch shop in Kyoto. These things can't be sold at a high price in Youxi Town."
Zuo Shaoqing nodded, Youxi Town is only that big, there are only a few rich people, and the biggest Zuo family has moved away, so there is really no market.
Not long after the sea ban was lifted, the first batch of people who came back from the sea were undoubtedly the biggest winners. At this time, overseas things are rare items. When there are more merchants who go to sea in the future, things will not be so valuable.
Zuo Shaoqing doesn't know much about business, but he also knows that timing is the most important thing. He waved his hand, "Look for a big shop with a good location. No matter how much money you spend, pick the things you brought back and open a treasure house."
Ke Youliang was taken aback, "Boss, will Zhenbao Pavilion... be too high-grade?"
"It's rare goods to live in. First use this batch of goods to make a name for yourself, and then things will be easy to handle."
Ke Youliang was a little excited. He was just the manager of a small grocery store. Although he could foresee that he would make a lot of money when he returned from the sea, he never expected to open a treasure house in a place like Kyoto.
And he knew that opening the Treasure Pavilion not only required good things, but also important contacts and customers. He wanted to mention something to the owner, and felt that the owner could not have thought of these things.
"In the future, even if you go to sea, you can ask the second uncle for a ship and someone, but now he is in charge of the economic power of the Cao Gang." Zuo Shaoqing smiled slyly, it would be too stupid not to take advantage of it.
Hearing this, Zuo Yunyang raised the curtain and teased him: "From now on, the entire Cao Gang will be yours, and Second Uncle will become your subordinate."
Ke Youliang was terrified when he heard this, he didn't understand how the Cao Gang belonged to the Zuo family?But no matter what, with the boats and people of the Cao Gang, going to sea will definitely be much smoother.
All the way back to Zuo Mansion, Zuo Yunyang first took Zuo Shaoqing to make amends, "Don't you worry big brother? My younger brother happened to run into Shao Qing when he was out today, so he took him out of the city to pray for blessings. Very famous."
Before Zuo Yunwen could speak, Xue said in a choked voice: "Second uncle is really biased, Shao Qing is not the only one in this family to refer to, you are too unfair as an uncle, right?"
Zuo Yunyang shook the flesh on his face, and squeezed out a sincere smile, "Sister-in-law's words are wrong, Shao Yan's skills don't need to ask God to worship Buddha, I'm sure he will win, Shao Qing is young, it is inevitable that she will be stage fright , I'm also taking him to feel at ease."
Zuo Yunyang used to flatter Dafang because he liked the good reputation of Dafang's scholars, but now, with the big tree of Zhen Guogong's mansion, why should he be respectful to Dafang's people?
Zuo Yunwen waved his hands nonchalantly. Both are his sons. It is a good thing whoever is in high school. He changed the subject and asked, "I heard that you also want to buy a house in Kyoto. Why bother, the family should live together."
This statement was absolutely insincere, Zuo Shaoqing rolled his eyes, when they moved in the day before yesterday, they didn't invite their second uncle to live in them, and now they only uttered a word when they heard that their second uncle was going to buy a house, which showed that their motives were impure.
Zuo Yunyang pretended to be embarrassing and said: "That's the reason, but it's hard enough for you to live in one family, big brother. My younger siblings will go to Beijing in a few days, so I still have to open another door."
"Oh? Brothers and sisters are moving here too?" Zuo Yunwen frowned. He was not happy at all when he heard the news. He didn't want others to know that he had a younger brother who was in business.
"Yeah, we can't just leave them in our hometown and ignore them. I'm going to open a few shops in Kyoto to make a living."
Xue's complexion was also not very good-looking, and she couldn't help but scornfully said: "Second Uncle is worthy of being a businessman, and he has a good plan, but don't think that the big house is backing you, so you have nothing to worry about, this capital is no better than Youxi Town."
She thought that Zuo Yunyang knew that the Zuo family was about to marry the Duke of Zhenguo and wanted to borrow their light.
No matter how good-tempered Zuo Yunyang was, he couldn't help getting angry when he heard this. He replied with a half-smile: "Sister-in-law is worrying too much."
Poor people like Mrs. Xue still can't see the situation clearly, and they are self-righteous. It will be wonderful when the truth comes out in the future.
The two eldest sons of Dafang, Zuo Shaoling, have been completely abolished and can only save one life. Zuo Shaoyan looks okay in front of him, so he doesn't know if he can continue to be better.
Ever since Zuo Shaoqing asked him to take care of the old men in the clan, Zuo Yunyang had vaguely noticed something about it, and his concubine nephew might make a big move.
Zuo Shaoqing was distracted and was spared a punishment, so after hearing a few words, he slipped away early. Although the injuries on his body were minor, he still felt uncomfortable after standing for a long time.
Back in the room, Luo Xiaoliu had already prepared hot water, and there were still a few conspicuous scratches on his face. When he saw Zuo Shaoqing, he cried out happily: "Master, the woman in the kitchen finally If you fall, we will have revenge!"
"You think your life will be easier after she was planted?" Zuo Shaoqing slapped bluntly: "Look, Mrs. Xue can't touch Master for the time being, so I can only look for the pleasure of revenge on you."
"Ah..." Luo Xiaoliu wailed, and hurriedly walked around the room, "Then what should I do?"
Zuo Shaoqing sank into the hot water, and the wound was stinging with water, but he didn't care, interrupting Luo Xiaoliu's anxiety and asking, "Can Mama Liu be settled?"
"Well, I sent it to the second master. Under the pretense that the second master has no wife to take care of him, the second master made up a generous gift afterwards. After receiving the gift, the master and his wife said nothing."
"Hmph, I'm afraid Second Uncle's gift is quite generous. It's enough to buy ten wives. What else can they say?"
"It's just..." Luo Xiaoliu hesitated, wondering if he should tell Zuo Shaoqing the rumors that were spreading in the mansion.
"Say something!"
"Just listen to what you want. All the servants in the mansion said that Mama Liu got the attention of the second master. When the second lady was away...uh..."
"Crack!" Zuo Shaoqing smashed the screen beside him, and asked with a gloomy face, "Who passed it on?"
Luo Xiaoliu shrank his neck and said in a low voice, "It should have started from the kitchen." His family's third master is really a god and a man without showing his face, and it's just like the book said, it's too powerful.
"Looks like it's not enough to clean up a Mama, this account is on Xue's head!"
