Master Ma GL

Chapter 16

Shaowen went to his father's study to discuss the date of marriage.

The master said: "As for this day, you can ask the housekeeper to check it out, pick a few auspicious days, and then you can decide." Shaowen nodded: "Then I will discuss it with the housekeeper later." The master stroked his beard: "The matter of marriage That's it. In the past two days, you and Xueer will go to the north, and Dad has a business for you."

Shaowen hurriedly said: "What business is it? I'm going to the north." The master walked around the desk and walked in front of her: "You should have heard that the northern frontier has been fighting these days, and the battle is fierce. I'm afraid this winter There will be no rest. A letter from a client from the north the day before yesterday said that the purchase of cotton will triple this year." Shaowen said: "It is for the soldiers in the north to keep out the cold."

The master was full of sadness: "The war in the north is also worrying people. I don't know when this war will stop. You and Xue'er are selling goods this time. As for the price, in business, we will not drive up the price, as long as the original price is increased. Five points are enough." Shaowen frowned: "Daddy entrusts us with such an important matter, isn't he afraid that we will mess it up?"

The master said: "The whole manor will be yours from now on. What is this matter? Go out to see the world before you get married. Your father and I have been traveling with your grandfather to transport supplies since we were ten years old. You are eighteen now. It’s time to go out and practice.”

Shaowen nodded: "Dad, don't worry, the boy will definitely handle this matter well."

The master said again: "You are going to Zhencheng for business this time. There is Jiacheng County not far away. You should have heard of the famous Jiacheng Hot Spring." Shaowen's eyes lit up: "Isn't that exactly what the book says? Jiacheng Hot Spring.”

The master stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You have to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. This time, you can take Xue'er to try it together." Shaowen said cheerfully, "Okay, Dad."

The master said: "In the past, your third uncle was in charge of pressing the goods when you went to the north. This time, your third uncle is also taking the lead. I will talk to him later and he will promote you." Shaowen frowned: "Third uncle, the child has been I can't get along with my third uncle, and he has been making things difficult for Xue'er and me a few days ago."

The master waved his hand: "It's all a child's heart. When it comes to business, your third uncle won't be so confused, and you don't have to worry about it. Take a good rest these two days and leave the day after tomorrow. This round trip may take more than a month." .Take advantage of this opportunity to build a good relationship with the big guys, and there will be many similar things in the manor in the future."

Shaowen nodded: "My child, remember Dad's instructions. Tonight, I will talk to the housekeeper about the wedding date. When it is settled tomorrow, we will start our journey the day after tomorrow."

The master agreed, and the father and daughter chatted for a few more words before breaking up.

Shaowen went to the housekeeper and ordered the selection of auspicious days.I went back to my room.

As soon as she opened the door and walked in, she saw Xueer reading her book.

Shaowen said: "Get up, what book are you reading? If you like it, flip through it." Xue'er casually flipped through a few pages: "As a teacher, you still read these strange novels? Tell the students about fairies and gods from time to time. class?" Shaowen laughed and said, "I like to flip through all the miscellaneous books, I'm just boring myself."

Xue'er put the book aside: "You are no longer a teacher, let alone seek fame and fame. From now on, you can focus on the manor. You don't have the energy to spend on these miscellaneous books."

Shaowen froze for a moment, speechless for a while.Immediately thinking of what Dad said, he said: "Daddy asked us to go to the north with Third Uncle in the future. We need to escort some cotton there. These cottons are used to protect the soldiers on the battlefield from the cold." Xue'er became interested : "Master wants to take this opportunity to let you get acquainted with the business, and the control over the business of the manor will gradually be transferred to you."

Shaowen nodded, and said: "Where we went, there is Jiacheng Hot Spring, a very famous one, Dad asked me to take you to play." Xueer poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shaowen: "This is your hot spring. It’s the first shipment, business is important, wait for the business to be delivered smoothly, and then consider the matter of the hot springs. You can’t put the cart before the horse when you write less, and you have failed the master’s expectations of you.”

Shaowen took the tea and drank it, speechless for a while.Then he said: "I just want to make you happy. It's almost time for dinner, let's have dinner." Xueer nodded and asked: "Xiaohong was in a hurry before, what happened? Yet?"

Shaowen took another sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just some small conflicts. Don't worry, Xueer." Xueer suggested: "In the future, don't participate in such trivial matters. Don't talk about it if you waste time and energy , your reputation is bad, and the management of this big manor in the future will depend on your majesty."

Shaowen sighed, just nodded, speechless for a moment.

The two had dinner, and Xue'er went back to see her father.Shaowen also went to Miss Yi's yard to see how she was doing.

Entering the yard, I saw Xiaohong serving the girl for dinner from a distance.

When Miss Yi saw her coming, she asked Xiaohong to bring her a chair and sit down.Shaowen saw that she was eating lightly, so he said: "It's better to eat lightly, I will ask the housekeeper to make some nourishing soup and bring it to you tomorrow."

Miss Yi wiped her lips with a handkerchief: "Eat with me, too." Shaowen smiled and said, "I just finished eating, so I came to see you." Miss Yi said, "You can eat with others, but you can eat with me." No way. Shaowen really treats one more favorably than another.”

Shaowen was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Since Miss Yi is willing, I'll eat another bowl...Xiaohong, bring me some bowls and chopsticks."

Miss Yi said: "My food here is not good, Shaowen should not force it."

Shaowen bit her lip, thinking, wasn't she fine before, why did she suddenly change, being so domineering towards me, what on earth does Miss Yi want to do.

Looking at Miss Yi, she said, "There's no reason why Miss Yi's food is not good. I think it's delicious."

Miss Yi suddenly smiled and said: "Then eat more." She picked up a plate of cabbage next to her hand and poured it all into Shaowen's bowl.He added: "Remember to finish eating, the whole table is yours, if you don't finish eating, it's your fault." He said with an exaggerated smile.

Shaowen picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of cabbage in his mouth, "It's delicious, I'll finish it."

Miss Yi smiled and watched her eat, she didn't know what she was thinking, and the smile in her big eyes was also a little lonely.

After all the dishes on the table were empty, Shaowen put down his chopsticks: "Miss Yi, Shaowen finished eating, you should go to rest early, Shaowen is going back too."

Standing up, my stomach is very distended.

Miss Yi smiled and said, "Then you should go back early, I want to rest too."

Watching Shaowen walk out of the courtyard slowly, Xiaohong said anxiously: "Girl, what are you doing? How can this young master bear it? What if his stomach hurts?" Miss Yi snorted and didn't speak.
