After reading all Chu Ling's travel notes and asking Jiang Chao and others for their opinions, Shi Chunfen quickly decided to locate the branch in Shuzhou. Shuzhou is adjacent to Liuzhou and the land is vaster. The most important thing is the local area.
The spicy eating habit is very conducive to Jiu Kuding's subsequent development, but whether it can actually work or not, you have to see it in person to know.
When Chunfen grew up, she had never been to other towns except the last time she went to Huating with Chu Ling. She was eager to go out and experience things to get rid of her ignorance. Of course, the bigger reason was that she
I really want to leave the Chu family and get some fresh air. In this place where intrigues are happening all the time, it will be really suffocating to stay there for a long time.
But without Chu Ling's company, it would be very troublesome for a woman to travel far away. Shi Chunfen was not sure whether the old lady would agree.
"Going to choose a site in Shuzhou?" The old lady frowned, "Are you going alone?"
"Li Yan, the others, and the shop assistants are here to accompany them," Shi Chunfen said frankly.
After saying this, it was as if she had never said it. She knew clearly that the old lady didn't mean what she asked.
The old lady's eyes darkened. Shi Chun Equinox had indeed become smarter, but she had also learned to do Tai Chi with her.
"Did you know that Jiuku Tea House is not the Chu family's business?"
In other words, as the eldest mistress of the Chu family, she was running around for other people's business, and her elbows were really bent outwards.
Fortunately, Spring Equinox had already thought about this question, so as soon as the old lady asked it, she quickly replied: "My granddaughter-in-law also wants to accumulate more experience, so that she will not panic when she takes over the Chu family's business in the future."
Seeing that she was not in a hurry when she answered, and her timid temperament was gone, the old lady's eyes flashed with approval, but she still refused to let go, "Shuzhou has long mountains and long rivers, and the terrain is
It's steep, and you have no experience in traveling far away, so aren't you afraid of any accidents on the way?"
Afraid.
How could you not be afraid?
Especially for a timid person like her, she had to do a long time of ideological work before even coming to see the old lady.
But she knew clearly that this step would have to be taken sooner or later.
Not for others, but for yourself.
"If there is an accident, the Chu family may not be safer than outside." Shi Chunfen said bluntly.
With those people from the second room around, she would not be safe anywhere.
The old lady instantly understood what she meant and couldn't help laughing, "You know your situation very well."
So many things had happened, and if she didn't know it clearly, she would be hopelessly stupid.
Shi Chunfen smiled and said frankly: "I want to go out and see a lot of things, and avoid the limelight. I hope my grandma will make it happen."
It was rare that she became bolder, so the old lady naturally had no reason to throw cold water on her. After thinking for a while, she quickly nodded, "Since you want to try it, then I have no reason not to agree."
Chu Ling has already embarked on an official career. The Chu family is in urgent need of a young lady who can take over all the business. This trip to Shuzhou can serve as a test for her. If she can come back smoothly, maybe the Chu family's business will gradually be handed over.
It's in her hands, and the old lady is also looking forward to the result this time.
"But it's still too dangerous for you to go alone." The old lady said bluntly: "It's easy for a woman to be bullied when doing business outside. Even if you are known as the eldest mistress of the Chu family, others will make things difficult for you.
." What's more, Shuzhou is not the territory of the Chu family. If something happens, the Chu family will be too late to save her. "Let Arun and your cousin accompany you. They are newly married and should go out to relax."
The moment she heard their names, Shi Chunfen subconsciously opened her mouth to refuse, but when she met the old lady's intransigent gaze, she swallowed the words in her mouth.
What is the reason for rejection?
Are you saying that her relationship with her cousin is not as good as everyone imagined, or are you afraid that Chu Run will cause trouble for her on the road?
Both were obviously ridiculous, and she could only passively choose to accept them.
"Yes, grandma."
Seeing that she had returned to her previous submissive look, the old lady twitched her lips in a funny way, "I know that the knot between you and your cousin is still unresolved, but on the equinox... escaping is not the way to solve the problem, everyone.
We are all a family, we can’t see each other until we look up, do you want to pretend to be stupid all your life?”
Shi Chunquin quickly lowered his head, "Grandma, I understand."
It turns out that the old lady didn't make the decision casually, but wanted her to learn to face it.
But is it really useful to face it?
The person who doesn't want to untie this knot seems to be Yu Atu, not her.
The trip to Shuzhou was decided. Because he had to go with Chu Run and Yu Atu, Shi Chunfen decided to take Shi Cui with him. Yu Atu would not listen to anyone, but would give Shi Cui some face.
, Shi Chunquin took her with him to prevent Yu Atu from having too much trouble with her on the road.
In addition to them, Shi Chunfen also decided to take Li Yan with her this time. After the Hongxing incident, Lu Tao couldn't afford to fall ill, and now she is completely miserable, and she wouldn't take the risk of taking Li Yan with her.
If something happens to someone who is separated from her, she is really asking for trouble.
The day before departure, Chu Yan rarely came to her yard, "Is it your mother-in-law who asked you to open a branch? She is short of money?"
This question sounds strange no matter how you hear it, but when you think about his current situation with the Huating County Lord, it is not difficult to understand the Spring Equinox.
"No, it's just that I think the tea house can take a step further."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Chu Yan was visibly disappointed.
In fact, he doesn't care about the development of the tea house, nor does he care about where Shichun Equinox will go tomorrow. He just wants to know whether the head of Huating County has contacted the Chu family. Even if it is the daughter-in-law he doesn't like to see, he also wants to know.
You can hear from her.
Seeing his disappointed expression, Shi Chunfen felt a little happy inexplicably in his heart. If you didn't cherish it when you were in the Chu family, what's the use of caring now?
When he was with Aunt Liu and Xiuxiu, he never thought that he would be here today.
"Does father miss mother?" Shi Chunfen unceremoniously revealed his thoughts.
Chu Yan felt as if his foot had been stepped on, and his whole body instantly became indifferent, "Don't worry about things that shouldn't be yours."
Seeing that he didn't deny it, Shi Chunfen laughed, "I just think that instead of conveying the news through other people's mouths, it's better to do more on my own. Sometimes what others say ten thousand times is not as effective as what you say, father."
Chu Yan's face became even more ugly, "You talk too much."
Of course he knows that he should care for others in person, but that person is already far away in the capital, so how can he have the ability to care in person?
