Chapter 2 Family

Every July is the busiest season in Canglong Mansion.

The annual Lantern Festival is held here for three days.

These three days are the days when the common people get happiness, and it is also the day when the merchants harvest wealth.

This time of year is the busiest time for Wei's family. Businesses in goods stores, restaurants, inns, clothing stores, etc. are booming, and shopkeepers on the shop line up into the courtyard of Wei's mansion, so as to ask Mrs. report.

In recent years, the business of Wei Mansion has become bigger and bigger. There are two more streets of shops in Canglong Mansion, and three more business routes for goods dealers. At least twenty caravans under the banner of Wei Family Doing business.

It all started when the young master became the true biography of Guanri Peak.

The true biography of Nineteen Heavens Kui, this is something no one can grab.

The development of the family has always been closely related to the future and destiny of the cultivators. The cultivators of the direct family are like the protective umbrella of the family.

And like the protective umbrella of Wei Tianchong Tang Jie, the current status alone is enough to support the Wei family to continue to expand for a long time.

Wei Zheng Shufeng is sitting in front of a desk in Zhaohua Courtyard of Wei Family.

The book case was carried to the courtyard, and there was a large row of family members kneeling in the courtyard.

Zheng Shufeng was flipping through the booklets on the desk, calling out a name from time to time, and someone below would respond, and then Zheng Shufeng asked questions, and the people below answered.

Sometimes when Zheng Shufeng was slightly dissatisfied, he would raise his brows, and the people below would tremble in shock; occasionally Zheng Shufeng would nod in satisfaction, and the people below would be ecstatic.

With Wei Tianchong soaring into the sky, Zheng Shufeng's status and power have also risen. Now she is no longer just in charge of the family, she can even intervene in the business of the shop outside at any time, and some personnel appointments need to go through her hands. However, the master is mainly responsible for some external and commercial transactions.

At this moment, Zheng Shufeng finally read the rest of the account book, waved his hand and said: "Okay, I have read it, and I have finished asking. This year's year, it seems that is the case. I am so strange Well, even if the Wei family didn’t add much this year, Hao Lai also added 18 shops, but why did the business seem to have no additions? Speaking of which, this year’s market is not worse than previous years!”

The people below lowered their heads and dared not answer.

Zheng Shufeng knocked on the counter unconsciously with his fingers: "I see,

It's still that there are too many businesses here, and I'm a little anxious about employing people, so if I don't know what to do, I will mix in some dubious people. If the threshold for entering Wei's house is low, people will take it lightly if they don't have one, and they won't cherish this job, and they will inevitably be sneaky and cunning when doing things, but they don't know the number on the account, The most is not to hide. "

Manager Qin, who had been sitting next to him, hurriedly laughed and said, "What my wife said is that in the past, when Wei's family came in, there was no three- to five-year test that would not be reused. Now the expansion is too fast, and there is not enough manpower. There are opportunities for some people. Expansion like this, although the number of shops has increased, the profit has not increased much, and it is always not enough to have a shelf.”

"So you should hurry up. If there are those who are not suitable,... those who should resign, just resign, don't keep it for idle food." Zheng Shufeng took a few account books and pointed to them: "These shops especially need to resign. Let’s take a closer look, the regulations handed over in the past few months have become more and more unsightly. You have to check carefully later, if it’s the clerk’s problem, then dismiss the clerk, and if it’s the shopkeeper’s problem, let the shopkeeper get out.”

"Yes." Qin Guanshi: "I will handle it myself later on."

Zheng Shufeng said: "You don't need to do this matter, you are getting old, you just need to rest in the mansion, you just send a trustworthy boy to do this matter."

"Always afraid of not doing well."

Zheng Shufeng smiled and said, "I can trust your vision. Without you, my Wei family would not be what it is now."

Steward Qin hurriedly said: "Ma'am, you are here again. The reason why the Wei Mansion is today is because of Madam's discerning eyes. Master Tang Jie and the others worked hard on their own. Qin Yuan is lucky. To be able to have a little recommendation is already a blessing accumulated by his ancestors." point."

Zheng Shufeng smiled and waved his hands: "Okay, okay, it's hypocritical to say it again. Speaking of which, Chong'er hasn't come back for a few days, alas, I don't know how he is doing recently. This brat always doesn't know how to write a letter back. "

Steward Qin hurriedly said: "Xiao Jie received a letter a few days ago, stating that everything is fine, please don't worry, my wife."

"With him here, I don't have anything to worry about. I'm always worried. Maybe it's a common problem of being a mother." Zheng Shufeng raised his arms, stretched his waist, and said with a long breath: "I've been talking for a long time. , I am tired and exhausted, I think I will come here first. By the way, Manager Qin, the Lantern Festival is approaching, please help me pick some gifts from the house and send them to the second elder of the Wu family. As a holiday gift."

"Yes, madam." Officer Qin stood up and led the group of people below to bid farewell to his wife.

A group of people didn't dare to fart in the yard before, but now they walked out of the compound, and immediately begged Manager Qin one by one:

"Steward Qin, you have to help me tell my wife, this small business is doing it with all my heart, it's just that this year's market is not so good..."

While speaking, the packages were secretly sent to Manager Qin one by one.

Manager Qin refused and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't worry, don't worry, Qin knows that everyone is not easy, and will never dismiss anyone at will. Please don't worry, but those who do things well will only be reused..."

As Tang Jie's performance in Xiyue Academy got better and better, Guanshi Qin's status in the Wei Mansion also became higher and higher. Although he is still his chief butler and his position has not changed, but the weight of words is getting heavier and heavier in the Wei Mansion. Even Zheng Shufeng talks to him in a negotiating tone, and usually sits and communicates, and there is no need to be as usual. The servants stood or even kneeled.

Looking at the sky at this moment, it was getting late, and Manager Qin went straight back to his room after explaining the matter.

Now he has a house of his own outside the Weifu, which was specially allocated to him by the Weifu. Next to it is the new house of the second elder of the Wu family, which was also given by the Weifu. As for the old house, it is empty there. The second elder of the Wu family has no shortage. money, so I don't want to rent it out.

Humming a ditty all the way out of the house, Steward Qin was walking in the alley, carrying a gift for the second elder in his hand. As he was walking, his back suddenly tightened, and something pressed against his back, and then he covered Guanshi Qin's neck with a hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't look back, rob, and hand over all the money on your body." come out!"

Manager Qin was taken aback, and didn't dare to move any more, he could only say: "The silver is in my right pocket, my friend went to get it."

One hand has taken away the silver in his bag, and then he heard the voice say: "So little? What a poor man."

Qin Guanshi was helpless: "I am just a servant, how much silver can I bring? My friend, you should leave as soon as you get the silver. This is next to the Wei family. If the guardian of the Wei family sees you, I am afraid that you will run away if you want to." not drop."

The voice behind said disdainfully: "Cut, it's just a small nursing home, what's so scary."

Qin Guanshi was angry when he heard this, and said: "You are not afraid of the guardian, but the fairy master is terrible? There are fairy masters in the Weifu. You must know that the fairy master is not an ordinary person. He can ride the clouds and the fog, and call the wind and the rain."

"What are you flying the clouds and driving the fog, calling the wind and calling the rain? How can there be so many immortal masters in the world? I think it's more like bluffing and deceiving."

Qin Guanshi said angrily: "Ignorant! I kindly persuade you, but you are so ignorant. You must know that there is a son in the Wei family who is now studying at the Xiyue Academy under the Xiyue Sect. Feng Zhenren's first disciple, and the guard Tang Jie's swordsmanship is exquisite..."

He was about to be taught a lesson when he heard a burst of laughter behind him.

The voice suddenly became so familiar, Qin Guan was stunned beforehand, and then blurted out: "Master?"

Looking back, I saw Wei Tianchong Shimeng was laughing vigorously there, Tang Jie was standing in the distance, with a pink and tender girl sitting on his shoulder, and a big tiger crouching under his feet, even Wei Tian Chong held a little fox in his arms.

Tang Jie pointed at Wei Tianchong, indicating that this was all his intention, and he was helpless.

"Master, Tang Jie, Shi Meng... why are you? Why are you back?" Qin Guanshi asked in surprise.

Wei Tianchong covered his stomach and laughed: "I miss my mother, so I will come back and have a look. I saw you coming out just before I entered the door, and I wanted to scare you. I didn't expect... Haha, Butler Qin If you can really blow it, what is the rank of flying to the sky? Do we cultivators have the rank of flying to the sky?"

Shi Meng also pointed at Wei Tian and laughed: "First apprentice, young master, you have become the first apprentice of a real person, and you are also full of talents. There is also Tang Jie, guarding Tang Jie... Hahahaha."

Wei Tianchong was dissatisfied: "Wait, it seems right that I am talented."

Shi Meng pouted: "The most wrong thing is this."

"Oh, you are so courageous, I dare not beat you when you are Tang Jie, right? Young Master, I will beat you three by myself..."

Steward Qin blushed, and grabbed Shi Meng's ears: "Well, you brats, after cultivating immortals for a few days, none of you are big or small, and you even play tricks on me! You even robbed me, young master Robbery? Is there any reason for this? I have to go to my wife and sue you."

Shi Meng was pinched by him and screamed, but he didn't dare to fight back. It was Wei Tian who rushed forward, grabbed Guan Shi's hand and said, "Don't, don't, it's okay if we admit our mistakes. Just to make fun of you old man, You see, you are serious. If we rob you, we will compensate you, why not double the compensation.”

With that said, Wei Tianchong returned the silver to Steward Qin with one hand, took out a bottle of pill with the other hand, poured out a pill from it, and put it solemnly in Steward Qin's hand: "Here, longevity longevity pill, prepared by Tang Jie for you, I will make it A good man will bring it to you."

"Prolonging longevity pill?" Qin Guanshi was taken aback.

Of course he knew about this. The two elders of the Wu family relied on this medicine a few years ago, and their health improved greatly, and their spirits also revived. At that time, he was also envious, and he also hoped that Tang Jie would find one for himself. But he knew that the medicine was definitely not cheap, and he was not old enough to take it, so he just thought about it and let it go. He didn't expect Tang Jie to find it for him today, and he was very excited.

Looking at Tang Jie at this moment, he was still standing by the wall smiling at himself.

With a slight movement in his heart, he kicked Wei Tianchong: "Go, go, go, since you are back, why don't you hurry up and find your mother, what are you doing here with me, a servant."

Wei Tianchong laughed and avoided: "Got it. Manager Qin, Tang Jie, I'm going to see my mother first."

Tang Jie replied: "I will go to see my adoptive father and adoptive mother first, and then I will see my master and wife later."

"Okay." Wei Tianchong agreed, and without going through the main entrance, he and Shi Meng jumped directly into the mansion from the wall, and then he heard a deep shout from the mansion: "Who trespassed on Wei's mansion!"

A burst of strength rushed out of the mansion, followed by a bang, bang, and Wei Tianchong's wild laughter: "Hey, is there a new fairy master in the mansion again? Come, come, come, I am Feitian on Mingliang Mountain!" That's true of the great thief, how dare the new immortal master fight me for three hundred rounds..."

Following Wei Tianchong's cry, the mansion was already in chaos.

Tang Jie and Qin Guanshi looked at each other and smiled together, no matter how this bastard was tossing about in his own house, Tang Jie waved his hand first and asked Yi Yi to take Xiaohu to play, and then stepped forward, and Qin Guanshi Walk towards home together.

On the way back, Guanshi Qin asked, "How long can you stay this time?"

Tang Jie replied: "I received the mission before I came here, and it will be the end of next month at the latest. Excluding the time to go back, it will be about twenty days."

"That's a good relationship." Qin Guanshi was very satisfied: "It's just a matter of staying in the mansion for a few more days, to accompany your adoptive parents, and to strengthen the reputation of the Wei mansion."

"Why does Weifu still need to be strong?" Tang Jie asked with a smile.

"The night is approaching, it's the time for everyone to show off their skills, and sometimes they have to show off their strengths. It can be powerful, but it can be small."

Hearing this, Tang Jie narrowed his eyes slightly: "It sounds like there seems to be some trouble in the mansion recently?"

Manager Qin shook his head and sighed: "It's too troublesome, but many things may not be troublesome if they are handled well, but they may be big troubles if they are not handled well."

"what happened?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, let's talk about everything after meeting your adoptive parents first." Qin Guanshi didn't rush to answer, but just took Tang Jie home.

At the door of Wu's house, Guanshi Qin knocked on the door, but it was opened by a boy in his teens. Seeing that it was Steward Qin, the boy hurriedly welcomed him in, but his eyes kept turning on Tang Jie.

Qin Guanshi patted it with a smile: "This is your second young master. Hurry up and inform the second elder that the youngest son they have been thinking about day and night is back."

The boy was shocked when he heard it, and immediately understood who the person in front of him was, and ran into the house in a hurry.

Tang Jie asked: "Do you have servants at home?"

Guanshi Qin said with a smile: "My wife arranged it two years ago. It's a challenge. After all, I'm old. Even if I use the longevity pill, I can't let the old man do things by himself."

"Thanks to my wife for being thoughtful." Tang Jie sighed in admiration. Although he was in the academy, although he cared about the elders, he was not thoughtful enough about some things.

The two of them went into the back room, only to see that the young servant had already welcomed the second elder out.

When the old lady of the Wu family saw Tang Jie, she was both surprised and happy, and shouted directly: "It's really Xiao Jie who has returned!"

Tang Jie's eyes were also wet. He took two steps forward and knelt down: "Father, mother!"

The two elders hurriedly greeted and hugged Tang Jie, and the three of them looked at each other, speechless for a while because of their excitement.

It was Steward Qin who helped Tang Jie up first, and then he and Tang Jie helped the two elders to sit down.

As soon as they were seated here, the two elders kept asking Tang Jie how his life was in the academy. How about the food, how about the cultivation, who did he offend all of a sudden? Let's focus on cultivation and avoid troubles. After a while, how is the young master serving you? Zhien wants to repay his kindness, and he can't take the young master seriously just because he has fulfilled his promise and got off his body.

All kinds of inquiries, all kinds of concerns, all kinds of exhortations, all kinds of exhortations, endless words, endless concern, made Tang Jie feel quite helpless.

Fortunately, there was steward Qin to help, and said: "You two elders, don't worry, it's not like you don't know how sensible Xiao Jie is. I asked you all the way on the way here, and Xiao Jie is doing very well now. Fourth grade, don't pay homage to officials!"

The two elders were relieved to hear that, and repeatedly shouted "God has eyes".

Tang Jie asked: "How has the two elders been doing these past few years?"

The second elder replied: "Okay, there is nothing better. Weifu gave a piece of land, and we two elders couldn't do it, so we rented it out. This house was also given by Weifu, and so were the servants. Lao Ken is willing to do it, but you have a bit of the cleverness of the past. Xinger came back a few years ago, and did business with the young master, and he became more and more sensible, and sent money back every year. In fact, we are all fed by the Weifu now. It’s okay, it’s useless to ask for money, the future will be left to you after all.”

The old man described all this with his own simple state of mind, and it was very interesting to Tang Jie's ears.

After chatting for a while, I heard someone knocking on the door outside.

Ban'er went to open the door, but saw that it was Yan Chen, the second housekeeper of the Wei Mansion.

After entering the door of Wu's house, Yan Chen came to the hall, first bowed to the elders, then to Tang Jie, and then said with a smile: "I just got the news that the young master and Mr. Tang are back, my wife is in a good mood, I am waiting for the servants to hold a banquet, let me invite the two old people to the house to have a banquet. It happens that Mr. Tang is also here, please go too."

As he spoke, he took out an invitation from his sleeve and sent it over.

Tang Jie knew that this was the news from the mansion, and immediately asked Yan Chen to invite the two elders in person to show his importance.

He looked at Guanshi Qin, who knew what he meant, and hurriedly said: "In these years, every time there is a feast in the house, the two elders will be invited."

The two elders also said: "It's just right, the Wei Mansion has nothing to say to us."

"That's good." Tang Jie said solemnly: "I, Tang Jie, will remember the kindness of the Wei Mansion. If the wife has any errands, it doesn't matter."

Yan Chen is also good at talking, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang's wishes, the mansion understands. These are not urgent, but please cultivate immortality outside, my lord. The family affairs will be arranged by the mansion."

Seeing him say that, Tang Jie also felt very comfortable.

Several people chatted at home for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, they all went to Weifu together, before arriving at Weifu, they heard the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of drums and cannons.

When the sky was not dark, there were a large number of fireworks rushing into the sky.

In this way, it was announced to the outside world that the young master Xiuxian of the Wei family was back!
