The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 132 Becoming suspicious

The Marquis pulled his wife to sit down and casually placed the letter on the desk.

Madam Leng saw that there seemed to be a word "Yun" on the letter, so she asked casually, "Is it a letter from Yuntong County? It seems that they haven't written to us for a long time. How are the Ye family doing now?"

Lord Lu was stunned for a moment.

He casually stuffed the letter under a pile of stationery and said, "It's from the shopkeeper over there, saying that there's been a drought in Yuntong County recently and business is not very good."

"There have been natural disasters in recent years, and business is always difficult. If the Ye family has any difficulties, we will help them."

Lord Lu frowned and said, "After so many years, Madam is still thinking about the Ye family."

“If it weren’t for the help from the Ye family when I gave birth, my life and the lives of my two children would have been in danger. After all, it was a life-saving grace.

What's more, Changqing and Zhiyi have both drank the milk of Madam Ye, so it's only a small favor for us to help them."

"I understand!" Lord Lu nodded.

"Madam, you are too kind. Although the Ye family helped us in the beginning, they have been doing business with the Lu family for many years and have made more money than they could ever make in their lifetime. We have done our best."

"correct!"

Leng Qingyu seemed to have remembered something and asked, "How is the marriage between the child of the Ye family and the Qiao family going? County Magistrate Qiao arranged the marriage with the Ye family for your sake. They should be married now, right?"

The Marquis pondered for a moment and said, "I did mention this to Qiao Zhengshan. He said that the Ye family suddenly regretted the marriage and replaced the bride with another daughter of the Ye family. The Qiao family disagreed, so the marriage was called off."

"How could this be?"

Madam Leng was puzzled: "Then Qiao Zhengshan can tell me why the Ye family suddenly wants to change people?"

"I didn't go into detail." Lord Lu suddenly felt a little regretful.

He shouldn't have told the truth.

In order to dispel his wife's doubts, he continued, "So many years have passed, and we don't know what happened in the meantime. Besides, we can't even decide the marriage of our own children, so we should not interfere too much in the marriage of other people's children."

Leng Qingyu felt that the Marquis was right.

But she couldn't help but sigh: "I don't know why I always miss the child of the Ye family. Maybe it's because she is the same age as Zhiyi. Every time I see Zhiyi, I can't help but think of her."

"enough!"

The Marquis suddenly got angry.

“After so many years, it’s time for you to let it go.

Your daughter is with you every day, yet you say such things. How do you think your daughter will feel? "

Madam Leng blushed, "I was wrong. I will try not to think about it in the future."

The Marquis immediately softened his expression.

He held his wife's hand again and said, "I lost my temper just now. You are already in poor health, so don't worry about other people's children."

Mrs. Leng nodded in agreement.

"mother!"

The atmosphere between the two was a little awkward, and Lu Zhiyi just happened to walk in from outside.

"Mom, I have checked the accounts of the cloth shop, but I am still unsure. Can you help me check and see if my calculations are correct?"

Mrs. Leng smiled when she saw her daughter and said, "Take the account book with you and go to my room to have a look."

"Good girl."

Lu Zhiyi took Leng Qingyu's arm and helped her walk out of the study very affectionately.

Before leaving, she turned around and saw her father nodding at her.

Her daughter was so sensible and knew how to share her worries. Mrs. Leng felt that she had indeed done something wrong.

She should spend more time on her daughter and not think about anything else.

She flipped through the account book, marked out the mistakes, and said:

“Uncle Wang is in charge of the cloth shop. If you have any questions, you can always ask him.

When you are familiar with everything, I will transfer the cloth shop to your name. No matter who you marry in the future, you will have confidence with the cloth shop business. "

Lu Zhiyi was somewhat flattered. "Mom, this cloth shop is our family's biggest business. Are you really confident in handing it over to me? If Changqing knew about this, would he get angry again?"

Leng Qingyu patted Lu Zhiyi's hand and said, "What kind of temper does he have?

Your father is right. Changqing's body is not suitable for doing business. Mother will save some money for him to ensure that he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

"Mom is still thoughtful."

Lu Zhiyi leaned his head on Leng Qingyu's shoulder: "If my brother has any difficulties in the future, I will not just stand by and watch."

"It's a good thing you're here." Mrs. Leng felt relieved.

She used to think Zhiyi was too sensible and never acted coquettishly with her. But now it seems that it is a good thing that she is sensible, which makes her feel at ease.

However, she was still somewhat concerned about the situation in Yuntong County.

After Lu Zhiyi left, Mrs. Leng came to the study and wanted to take out the letter to read it.

Unexpectedly, she flipped through the pages from top to bottom but couldn't find the letter from Yuntong County.

Could it be that the Marquis kept it for himself?

But why would he put it away?

Leng Qingyu was confused.

……

Yuntong County.

Yongletang's business is getting better and better, and it is becoming more and more famous.

However, it is still not as good as Shunyitang.

Although the last incident damaged the reputation of Shunyitang, his family has had a foundation for so many years and it will not be destroyed all at once.

Recently, his family said that they were selling Double Star tea at half price in order to do something practical for the people of Yuntong County, which made everyone have a much better impression of them.

"Boss, do you think that thing Miss Ye told us a few days ago can be accomplished?"

After Li Qiao finished the calculation, he couldn't help but ask Li Mo.

"Are you talking about the herbal tea?" Li Mo took a sip of tea slowly.

Li Qiao nodded.

Li Mo put down the teacup, “I think it can be done.

Haven't you tried it too? The taste of Qingling Tea is the same as Shuangxing Tea. After drinking it, it can also help to quench thirst, digest food and stimulate appetite. But it's brewed and sold right after it's brewed, so I'm a little unsure."

Li Qiao: "I have calculated that according to Miss Ye, the cost of a cup of herbal tea is 300 coins, but after boiling, one pot can produce 200 cups, and each cup costs 10 coins, which is 2 taels of silver. The profit is still considerable, but I don't know how many can be sold in a day."

"Don't think about it, it's useless. Since my sister-in-law said it can be done, let's give it a try.

Even if it doesn’t work, it won’t be a big loss.”

After the two of them discussed it, they finally calmed down.

The next day, Ye Xinran arrived at Yongle Hall early.

Not only did people come, they also brought a cart full of bamboo cups.

"Sister-in-law, is this the bamboo cup you mentioned?" Li Mo picked one up and looked at it carefully.

This bamboo cup is actually made of bamboo tubes. Find bamboos of similar thickness, saw them into similar lengths, and they will become cups.

Interestingly, each cup comes with a lid.

Afterwards, Ye Xinran had someone bring down a basket of cut reed stalks from the car.
