Chu Ling then looked away from Shi Chunfen and said calmly: "That's it."
Shi Chunfen took the opportunity to say: "We are going to Dongmen Street to check out the shops in the afternoon. Are you free to accompany us?"
Chu Ling looked at her and said with a half-smile, "You called me here and you asked me if I was free?"
Shi Chunfen shrank his neck, quickly picked up vegetables and blocked his mouth, "Uncle, let's eat vegetables."
After everyone had dinner at the mansion, they took a carriage to Dongmen Street together. The shop chosen by Shi Chunquin was located in the middle of the street. There were several side roads next to it. It was the best choice regardless of the flow of people or the location. In addition, this shop
Facing north and facing south, it covers the largest area in the entire street and is indeed eye-catching.
When everyone entered the shop, they were all very excited. Chu Ling took the initiative and said, "Have you thought about the name of the tea house?"
Shi Chunfen nodded quickly, "Since the main business is selling Jiu Kuding, let's call it Jiu Ku Tea House! You can also hang a couplet next to it to see all kinds of things in the world and taste the Jiu Kuding in Huating."
"Good idea!" Shi Cui's eyes lit up, "Those who have read books are just different." She gave Yu Atu a push and warned, "Learn from your cousin!"
Yu Atu laughed twice and nodded.
Shi Chunfen subconsciously looked at Chu Ling and asked, "What do you think?"
Chu Ling smiled elegantly, "I think it's good."
Shi Chunfen gave him an angry look. I wonder if it was because he always pretended to be a handsome young man in front of his aunt, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Chu Ling pretended not to notice her gaze and led them up to the second floor, "In the future, you will discuss business and rest here. There will be a cellar below to store goods."
Everyone nodded slightly, and Yu Atu opened the window on the second floor and looked out. Seeing that there were several restaurants outside the tea house, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "There are people coming and going here, and there are so many restaurants, it's hard to keep the business going.
Prosperous.”
When Shi Chunfen walked over, he saw that the signboards of several restaurants had big flags with the word "Cao" hanging on them. His expression suddenly changed slightly, "Is this the territory of the Cao Gang?"
Chu Ling nodded lightly, "That's right."
He looked at the Spring Equinox and comforted: "The Cao Gang's territory is spread all over Liuzhou. It is basically impossible for you to avoid them. What's more, they are not like our Chu family. Women cannot interfere in the business, so you don't have to worry.
You will meet Weng Xiaohuan and the others."
After hearing this, Shi Chunfen felt relieved and said, "That's good."
Everyone looked around and felt that this shop was good, so they decided to open it here. Seeing that it was difficult for everyone to come out, Chu Ling offered to go to the restaurant opposite to eat together, so as to take the opportunity to get familiar with the surrounding environment.
Shi Cui wanted to refuse, but seeing Shi Chunfen looking at her expectantly, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Everyone entered Caobang's restaurant together. Because Chu Ling was there, Shi Chunquin was not nervous. However, when the shopkeeper saw a group of them coming in, he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"Master Chu's arrival is really disappointing!"
Seeing the shopkeeper welcoming him enthusiastically, Shi Chunfen glanced at Chu Ling doubtfully.
Chu Ling shrugged slightly. He had never been here before, and he didn't know why the shopkeeper knew him. Maybe it was because of his appearance and identity. It was not certain that he had seen him before.
Chu Ling didn't think much and nodded slightly to the other party, "Please prepare a private room for us."
The shopkeeper nodded quickly, "Okay."
While they were talking, many people had already looked towards Chu Ling. He was already eye-catching, and because the shopkeeper was yelling just now, almost the entire first floor was attracted to him.
"It's Chu Ling, the legendary number one talent in Liuzhou!"
"Sure enough, he has a beautiful face and is more beautiful than any other woman!"
"Is that his wife next to her? Why does she look so ordinary?"
"I heard that his wife was a child bride, and I don't know how she climbed into the bed of the legitimate son. Otherwise, who would allow a child bride to be the legitimate wife?"
Although Chu Ling and his party entered the private room very quickly, they still inevitably heard a few words. Shi Chunfen's face turned pale and he glanced at Chu Ling subconsciously. Seeing that the other party did not respond, he felt a sense of loss. He probably also
I really hate myself for embarrassing him.
Shi Cui and Yu Atu naturally heard it, but they did not dare to say anything. They looked down at the ground in tacit agreement, pretending not to know anything.
The four of them sat down quietly. Only the shopkeeper excitedly introduced the restaurant's dishes to them. Seeing that no one had any intention of ordering, Chu Ling took the initiative and ordered a table of special dishes, and then ordered the shopkeeper.
Send someone to guard the door of the private room and don't let irrelevant people come and disturb them.
The shopkeeper promised, but after leaving, he quickly brought back an uninvited guest.
The man was in his early twenties, wearing a black short shirt, a sword on his waist, and red silk trousers tucked into short boots. He looked like a martial arts practitioner. He stormed into the box where Chu Ling and others were staying, and coldly said
After scanning everyone, his eyes finally fell on Chu Ling, "Are you Chu Ling, the eldest young master of the Chu family?"
The moment he broke into the private room, Chu Ling's face turned cold. He was not angry. When he was angry, his surroundings were filled with a bone-chilling chill. When he heard the man's question, he not only did not answer,
He also looked at the shopkeeper who was hiding behind the man with a heavy gaze, "Can't Tangtang Caobang even guard the guest's private room?"
The shopkeeper's face turned pale, he didn't dare to look at Chu Ling, and a big bead of sweat fell from his forehead.
Seeing that Chu Ling completely ignored him, the man who broke in raised his eyebrows, pulled out his sword and struck it on the table, "I ask you if you are Chu Ling?!"
As soon as the blade was brightened, all the female relatives present couldn't help but scream in surprise. Although Shi Chunquin was relatively calm, he was also frightened and took a breath of cold air.
Chu Ling noticed her fright, and his already cold facial features became even colder. His eyes fell on the man's knife, and he sneered: "The dignified young master of the Cao Gang, can't even declare his family status?"
The man was stunned for a moment and glared at him, "How do you know my identity?"
Chu Ling picked up a chopstick, knocked on the knife that was still on the table, and said sarcastically: "The sea-cutting knife that is the heirloom of the Cao Gang, wouldn't it be too wasteful for Mr. Weng to use it to chop the table?"
Weng Zhenhai narrowed his eyes, put back his saber, and said coldly: "It is rumored that the eldest young master of the Chu family, Dongyan, watched the fire and acted calmly. When I saw him today, he certainly lived up to his reputation."
Seeing that he had put the knife back, Shi Chunfen and others breathed a sigh of relief, but still stared at him nervously, fearing that he would start a fight with Chu Ling if he disagreed.
Chu Ling stretched out his hand to hold Shi Chunfen and played with her fingers carelessly. The simple action made her feel a lot more at ease.
Chu Ling didn't even raise his head and said calmly: "It is rumored that the eldest son of the Cao Gang is reckless, impulsive, arrogant and rude. When I saw him today, it turned out that he was not in vain."
