Chapter 16 Eccentricity
Chu family of these three ladies, the first lady from a large family, the second lady is the Tongzhou province open mountain martial arts hall owner Ding Kai Shan's daughter, only the third lady has no origin, just ordinary small businessman's daughter, purely by the young and beautiful which can be married to Chu Zongguang.
However, the only advantage of the third lady is smart, know that their own origin is not good, so do not fight and do not grab, and finally on the contrary, the second lady to take the initiative to pull her.
At this time, when the second madam came to Chu Wound's mansion, the third madam immediately walked out from the house and greeted her with a smile, "Sister came to me today, why didn't you say so in advance."
Chu Wound also followed behind the Third Madame and respectfully called out Erniang.
The second madam nodded, pulling the person into the room and then faintly said, "It's just a casual chat, what else do I need to say in advance? By the way, those few stores under Hurt Child are not bad, right? Can they be enough?"
The third madam's face changed, she hurriedly said, "Hurt son's stores are all inns and restaurants that don't generate much revenue, after removing the ones that are given to the family, there isn't much silver left, but Hurt son doesn't want to compete for any heir position, so this bit of revenue is just right."
Looking at the third lady as if she misunderstood her own meaning, the second lady smiled and said: "sister misunderstood, I don't mean this, the injured child is still young, even if he doesn't want to compete for the head of the family, how can he also need to hold some income in his hands some business is, just like sister you just said, the injured child's hands inside those businesses, the income can not be much. "
Third madam and Chu injury's eyes are all bright, the third madam did not move and said: "But the Chu family's business is so much, the master has given Chu injury those stores, I go to ask for it again, some too do not know what is good and bad."
The second madam stood up and said, "No matter if master wants it, but it can be exchanged with others ah, I heard that Chu Huo's merchant fleet has been earning well lately, the profits of the merchant fleet even doubled in his hands."
After saying that, the second madam directly turned around and left, she believed that the other party would understand what she meant.
When the second madam left, the third madam and Chu Wound looked at each other, both of them almost made up their minds.
The third madam had no background, and Chu Huan was too young, so no they didn't fight or grab.
But they don't compete or grab because they can't compete with the Chu family's oldest, nor can they grab the Chu family's oldest.
But a Chu Huo who had no background and was not liked by Chu Zongguang, they could still snatch it.
The next morning, Chu Huo was practicing his sword in his own compound, the most simple sword technique of Green Dragon in Sleeve had almost become instinctive after his repeated practice.
Of course the specific power now Chu Huo also do not know, martial arts is the way to kill, do not kill, how can exercise a real killing techniques to?
At this time there was suddenly a knock on the door outside the house, he opened the door to the room, an old man stood outside the door and said, "Second Duke, Master is calling for you to come over."
The person who came was precisely Butler Chen, Chu Huo also knew that this Butler Chen was Chu Zongguang's personal butler, although he didn't care about specific matters, but his position in the Chu family was much greater than that Butler Liu.
And this butler Chen treats Chu Huo very politely, in Chu Huo's memory, in the past when he was in the Chu family, those elder uncles of the Chu family, as well as Liu butler this level of big butler, the attitude towards him is arrogant very much, only this Chen butler every time he sees Chu Huo, he can still call him a second son.
Returning the favor, Chu Huo was also polite to this Butler Chen, he nodded his head and said, "Butler Chen wait a moment, I'll change my clothes and go over."
After changing his clothes Chu Huo then headed to Chu Zongguang's residence with Butler Chen, but on the way Butler Chen suddenly said, "Second Prince, later on when Master says something, I still hope that you, Second Prince, can calm down a bit."
Speaking here Chen Butler also sighed, Chu Zongguang did indeed go a little overboard in some things, but the family is like this, there is no such thing as fairness, he was just worried that this Second Duke's current character was a little aggressive, in case he did something he shouldn't have done at Chu Zongguang, that would be a little bad.
Hearing Butler Chen say that, Chu Huo instantly knew that there was probably nothing good this time.
However, Chu Huo still smiled and nodded his head, "Thanks to Butler Chen for reminding me, I have my measure."
After being reborn, the fusion of the memories of the two lives was naturally dominated by Chu Huo's memories from his previous life, but the memories of this life had also somewhat affected his personality.
The Chu Hugh of his previous life's character was inclined to be gloomy and calm, doing things with a plan, and seeing things thoroughly.
And this life of chu xiu in front of the character is weak and reckless, this character does not affect chu xiu, on the contrary is in the south mountain mining area this year, this life of chu xiu stained with some tyrannical madness, but some influence now chu xiu's character.
For example, before the Li family's Li Tong provoked Chu Huo, the result was Chu Huo did not hesitate to stab a person, after the incident, Chu Huo simply do not feel half a bit of discomfort.
Of course, even if Chu Huo's character had a little bit of tyrannical madness fused in it, he was confident that he could suppress it and wouldn't do anything bad at the critical moment.
Chu Huo was led into Chu Zongguang's study by Butler Chen, and at this moment, in Chu Zongguang's study, besides Chu Zongguang being there, there was surprisingly still the oldest four, Chu Wound.
"Greetings, Lord Father."
Chu Huo bowed at Chu Zongguang, and on his side, Chu Wound also arched his hand at Chu Huo, with a respectful look on his face, "Greetings to second brother."
Chu Huo's eyes narrowed, this fourth brother of his hadn't called him second brother a few times since he was a child.
Seeing Chu Huo come, Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "Sit down, I asked you to come today because I wanted to discuss a matter with you."
Chu Huo arched his hand and said, "If there's something father-sama, feel free to say it."
Chu Zongguang said, "During this period of time, your merchant fleet has developed quite well, I also didn't expect that you have grown quite a bit after exercising in the Nanshan Mining Area for the past year, regardless of whether you can become the heir of my Chu Family in the future, but in the future, you will certainly also be the mainstay of my Chu Family, so between you brothers, make sure that you are in harmony, and help each other out."
Chu Huo secretly frowned, Chu Zongguang's words were a bit strange ah, what was the situation of their several brothers, didn't Chu Zongguang know? Still brotherly harmony, now that they were in this appearance, they were close to stabbing each other face to face.
But with this thought in his heart, Chu Huo still nodded his head and said, "What father-sama said is true."
Chu Zongguang nodded and said, "It's good that you can think like this, it's like this, although Chu Huan's age is still young now, but it's time for him to change his experience, the last time you personally led a merchant fleet on a trip to Yan, which was very good, Chu Huan now wants to follow the example of this second elder brother of yours, and lead the merchant fleet to experience a little bit. That's why I'm going to swap your merchant fleet with the stores under Chu Huan's name, and let your fourth brother take care of the merchant fleet."
Chu Huo's eyes revealed a touch of gloom, no wonder Butler Chen had to tell him to calm down earlier, this cheap father of his was a bit too obvious in his favoritism.
When the merchant fleet is dangerous, Chu injury does not go, when the earnings are low, Chu injury does not go, wait until he has opened up all the merchant roads, and can safely pass through unhindered, and only then is he ready to let Chu injury go, this picking of peaches is a bit too ugly to eat.
Butler Chen on the side was also staring at Chu Xiu somewhat nervously, fearing that he would not be able to hold back his anger and have a seizure on the spot.
However, out of Butler Chen's expectation, Chu Huo was only silent for a while, and then he raised his head and smiled, "Since Lord Father has already made a decision, then well, I'll let the merchant fleet go to Fourth Brother."
Chu Zongguang nodded with satisfaction, he sought stability in everything and hated nothing more than his son defying his own wishes.
Seeing that Chu Huo was so sensible, Chu Zongguang said, "I am satisfied to see that you brothers are in harmony, in this way, the stores under Chu Huan's command are all inns and restaurants, I'll give you another weapon store, and all of them will be given to you to take care of together as well."
Chu Zongguang then turned his head to Chu injury and said, "Although the merchant fleet is under your command, but you are still young, you need to learn with an open mind. In this way, when the merchant caravan departs, I'll have Lin Qian go with you."
A trace of coldness appeared in Chu Huo's eyes, Lin Qian was one of the two strongest disciples of their Chu Family, with the strength of the Blood Condensation Realm, and was only responsible for instructing some Chu Family disciples in their cultivation on weekdays.
At the beginning of the Mang Mountain in Gotham, the result was that Chu Zongguang only told him to be careful, as a result, now that he had changed to Chu injury, he had a blood condensation realm disciple to escort him, both were sons, but the gap was not a little bit of half a point.
Of course, Chu Huo did not feel unbalanced, his heart never put this Chu Zongguang as a father, including his own memories of this body in his previous life is the same, for Chu Zongguang only fear.
Moreover, within the Chu family, only Chu injury can enjoy this kind of treatment, Chu Kai and Chu Sheng are not much better than him.
A hint of complacency appeared in Chu Wound's eyes, and he first bowed his head to Chu Zongguang and said, "Many thanks to father."
Then he made it a point to arch his hand at Chu Huo and said, "Many thanks to second brother."
Chu Huo raised his eyebrows and said indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just that the business road is rugged, Fourth Brother, it's better for you to be more careful."
After saying that, Chu Huo directly excused himself and left, but a cold color came out from his eyes.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, what he hated the most was when someone robbed him!
