Boss Ji, also known as Ji Limo. When he went to the tea house, the shopkeeper observed him carefully. In the eyes of the shopkeeper, Ji Limo was very well-dressed. Although he did not look like a businessman, he spoke in a very orderly manner.
Ji Limo didn't look like he was deceiving the Leng family for such a small amount of money, but something happened at the tea house, and he couldn't explain it. But he believed that the money was nothing to Ji Limo.
.
After hearing this, A Lan nodded and said: "He didn't take away the money he was given as compensation, but threw it in the patriarch's study. And the tea leaves were also placed in the tea garden. We didn't
If you suffer any loss, the Boss Ji you mentioned is indeed not a liar."
"Master, then I don't understand even more. Why did he do this?" the shopkeeper asked puzzledly. "This man came to help me, so he deliberately caused trouble. In short, the matter at the tea house is over.
, don’t mention it again." A Lan said.
"By the way, young master, the second lady has disappeared and the master has also disappeared. Do you know about this?" asked the shopkeeper.
"I know my father's whereabouts. He will be back in a few days. The second lady is fine, and nothing will happen to the tea house in the future," A-Lan said.
"Some people have taken the opportunity to suppress the Leng family in the past few days, so the business on this street is not very good," the shopkeeper said.
The silk, satin, rouge and gouache on the entire East Street are almost all the business of the Leng family. After hearing what the shopkeeper said, Alan asked: "They want to take advantage of the situation and replace the Leng family, right?"
"That's right, they took advantage of this moment to spread rumors, saying that our Leng family did not keep their promises and even paid them a large sum of money. Fortunately, young master, you are back. They know the news about your return, so I believe they will restrain themselves.
"said the shopkeeper.
"Don't worry about them. Has the tea house business been affected recently?" A Lan asked.
"The bosses who have cooperated with the Leng family for a long time have not had any fluctuations, but there are still some bosses who have cooperated with the Leng family recently who plan to cancel their orders." The shopkeeper said.
"If you plan to cancel the order, you don't need to discuss it with them, just cancel it." A Lan said.
"It's young master. The reason why I haven't replied yet is because I'm waiting for your order," the shopkeeper said.
"You didn't ask the clan leader for instructions?" Alan asked.
"No." said the shopkeeper.
"I'll come back later and check out other stores first," A Lan said.
After A-Lan left the tea house, he walked around the whole street. The business of other shops was affected to some extent. After all, after his disappearance, the shop was taken care of by his father. But a few days later, his father also disappeared. After shopping around
Afterwards, the shopkeeper was very excited when he saw A-Lan. He did not expect that his business would be affected by the rumors. He would have known that he would have come back earlier.
After coming back, the shopkeeper made a pot of tea for Ah Lan and said, "Master, please try it. These are the newly picked tea tips."
A Lan took a sip and found that the aroma was really fragrant, so she said, "It is indeed a good tea."
After A-Lan looked at the account book, he told the shopkeeper not to care about what others said and just do business down to earth.
After leaving the tea house, A Lan went to the antique shop. Seeing Uncle Ren taking care of it in front, he asked: "Why does Uncle Ren take care of these things in front of him himself?"
"The antique shop has been affected to some extent. The shopkeeper is ill and the two handymen have quit. I will definitely investigate and find out who is behind this." Uncle Ren said angrily.
A Lan smiled and said, "Uncle Ren, why should you care? During this period of time when business is not going well, you can just take good care of yourself."
"Master, I have rested long enough. The shop really needs to be reorganized. By the way, how is the street at the tea house?" Uncle Ren asked.
"I was just about to tell you about the tea house. The tea house is fine, and the bosses who have cooperated with me for a long time haven't made any news yet. The other shops are a little unstable, and they are worried that I really won't be able to come back. After seeing me today, they
I feel relieved." A Lan said.
"It seems they want to benefit from this, but are the Leng family so easy to be bullied?" Uncle Ren said angrily.
"Think about it, something happened to you after I disappeared, and my father also disappeared not long after. We gave them the opportunity to spread rumors, and they can't blame others. Now that I'm back, they can restrain themselves to some extent." A Lan said.
"Then don't care?" Uncle Ren asked.
"No matter what, don't worry, what must pass will pass. I believe that after a while, no one will mention this matter again." A Lan said.
"Young master has changed and become more stable." Uncle Ren said.
"The past few days I have experienced in Fengtian Sect are truly unforgettable for me. Uncle Ren, if the shopkeeper is still sick tomorrow, you don't have to guard the shop and go back to rest early." A Lan said.
"I understand, young master, you are just sitting in the shop to keep him. Don't worry, I will take care of it." Uncle Ren said.
"I feel relieved to leave the shop to you. After a while, I will give Ah Feng a few shops to take care of and let him get some exercise." A Lan said.
"Master, are you ready? Didn't you say before that you would hand it over to him in half a year?" Uncle Ren asked.
"I think he has grown a lot, so I can give him some training," A Lan said.
"I understand. When the shopkeeper comes back, I will go to East Street to check out some shops. By the way, young master, the madam's residence has been prepared. You can move in directly when the madam comes back." Uncle Ren said.
"I don't know if my mother will live in another hospital, but it is necessary to be prepared." A Lan said.
"Will Madam return to Leng Mansion?" Uncle Ren asked.
"I don't know either. Mother has her own plans. Whether she goes back or not, let her make her own choice." A Lan said.
Uncle Ren nodded and said, "It's a good thing that Madam can return to the Leng Mansion. I hope the Leng family can reunite soon."
"Mother... she should be able to figure it out," A-Lan said.
"Master, what did the clan leader say about Yueyao?" Uncle Ren asked.
Uncle Ren knows about A-Lan's decision, because A-Lan has discussed it with Uncle Ren before. Uncle Ren understands A-Lan's concerns and has always supported A-Lan's decision. However, A-Lan still needs to discuss this matter with the clan leader.
.I don’t think the clan leader will forcibly deal with Yueyao, but he is worried that the clan leader will not easily agree to A Lan’s decision.
"I haven't mentioned it to the clan leader in detail yet. I just told him that Yueyao still needs to recover from her injuries. The clan leader didn't say anything, nor did he mention when the ancestral hall would be opened. So, I won't take the initiative to mention this matter for the time being." A Lan said.
"Young Master, don't you plan to give the clan leader a direct answer?" Uncle Ren asked doubtfully.
He knew A-Lan well and knew that A-Lan was always decisive in doing things and never procrastinated, but this time it was obviously a deliberate delay. Therefore, Uncle Ren was not only confused but also very curious.
"Procrastinating some things is a good way to do it," Alan said.
A Lan briefly told the clan leader about this matter before, and the clan leader did not clearly mention when he would be punished. Therefore, delaying might be a good way. Because he had just come back, he wanted to report to the clan leader that he was safe. Mentioning this matter was equivalent to
The grandfather and grandson chatted casually. But if the matter was brought up formally, it would not be that simple.
"Master, it's not an option to keep putting it off like this. Even if the clan leader doesn't hold her accountable for what she has done, what about the other elders?" Uncle Ren said.
"Such a big thing happened in the Leng family back then. Except for the clan leader, the other elders were all watching the joke. They wished that after grandpa passed away, the Leng family's business went wrong, and they cursed me to pass away quickly, so that they could elect a new one by then.
Be a family member." Alan said coldly.
Although A-Lan was still young at that time, he was still a little confused. After his grandfather passed away, he passed the title of family directly to him, bypassing his father. Because he was too young, the patriarch took care of the business himself. Because his father was immersed in women.
Not interested in taking care of business, Grandpa could only make such a decision. He could understand all this, but he was still young, and he could re-elect a suitable head of the family at that time. The strange thing was that the patriarch did not have this intention.
The other elders seemed a little dissatisfied with the clan leader's decision, but because of the Leng family's rules, they could only complain privately.
It was only after returning from Fengtian Sect that A-Lan understood why the clan leader personally took care of the business when he was still young. Although other elders were dissatisfied with this, they also had to wait until they became adults. All they could do for so many years was to watch.
Their family joke.
Because he knew that unless he was no longer alive, the Leng family would re-elect the next head of the family. He understood that this was the rule of the Leng family, and it was also the rule of the royal family of the Dongmo Kingdom. The other elders were side branches, and Grandpa's lineage was the only one.
He is a direct descendant of the Leng family.
"Master, you can't say that either, it's unlucky." Uncle Ren said.
"Uncle Ren, after fighting with them for so many years, you don't know that they are shameless." A Lan said.
"After so many years, what are they doing this for? Is being a family member really so attractive?" Uncle Ren asked.
"At least that's what they think." Alan said.
"Young master, although you are the head of a family, the patriarch makes almost all decisions on matters in the clan. For so many years, you have been focusing on how to take care of your business. How can you have the time to play tricks with the elders? I
Seeing as these elders are free, we should let them go to the store to take care of business and see if they still have enough time to quarrel." Uncle Ren said.
"Uncle Ren, this is a good idea, you can consider it." A Lan said with a smile.
"Master, are you kidding me?" Uncle Ren said in surprise.
A-Lan said: "Of course it's not a joke. The Leng family's business is bleak, and the money they get will be less. Moreover, they also have selfish motives for wanting to get their own rights. Why not let them really experience it?"
"Master, you praise the elders too much. They just want to get the status of family members, and they don't really care who will take care of the business. They will definitely not do it if they are asked to work. They just want to sit back and enjoy the benefits.
"Uncle Ren said.
"That's why I let them experience for themselves how difficult it is to do business, even if they have to be the shopkeeper for a day. I will discuss it with the clan leader soon, and I think the clan leader will agree. I will go back to the tea house first, and there are still some
Things need to be dealt with. Uncle Ren has closed the shop and went home to rest. He won't be using the shop these days." A Lan thought for a while and said.
"Master, do you suspect that the people spreading the rumors are not outsiders, but arranged by the elders?" Uncle Ren finally understood A Lan's intention.
A Lan said: "The rumors outside are very accurate, and they know too much in detail. If it weren't for the people from the Leng family who personally released the news, it would be impossible for people outside to know in such detail. Of course, I won't make excuses for nothing.
They believe that the wish will come to fruition in the next few days."
"Master, I think it's better to be careful. I believe they will find reasons to embarrass you when they know you are back." Uncle Ren said worriedly.
