Finest Servant

The fourth uncle said plausibly: "Yu Ruoxian's niece, Mr. Tao Yutao is Suzhou weaving and is in charge of weaving and textile affairs in Jiangsu province. My Xiao family has been operating a cloth shop for many years, and Suzhou weaving is closely related. Isn't it good? The management of the Xiao family still counts on Master Tao to take care of them. How can they be against them? Now, because of this, I have offended Master Tao not to mention it, and even more offended Master Tao, as long as weaving In a word from your lord, even survival is a problem for us in Buzhuang, which is a huge disadvantage to the Xiao family."

Survive? Without Lin San, we would have been annexed by the Tao family long ago, where would we talk about survival? Xiao Yuruo snorted, bit her lip and asked, "Then according to Fourth Uncle's opinion, what should be done properly?"

Fourth Uncle said: "My niece, Fourth Uncle, I have lived longer than you for these years and have seen a lot of things. In my humble opinion, it would be better to return this Tao Family House to the Tao Family to show my Xiao Family's sincerity and hope. I hope the two sides will reconcile.”

As expected, it's a shallow view, it's really fucking shallow, according to this old man's meaning, I'm afraid that Miss Xiao and the Tao family will marry to show that they are "repaired". Lin Wanrong despised the fourth uncle, a distant relative of the Xiao family, what a shitty, typical policy of appeasement, and he said it in a high-sounding manner.

The eldest lady held back her anger and said, "Fourth Uncle, since the Tao family started their business, we have not had one or two conflicts with their management. The fourth uncle said that we would repair it with the Tao family, but the niece had to ask back. When did the Xiao family do anything with us? Last time I forced the Xiao family to join forces with him, and this trip to Hangzhou is even more because of the leadership of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, colluding with the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce to make things difficult for me Xiao Home. If it wasn't for Lin San's help, I'd probably have—"

The eldest Miss Yinya stopped talking, Lin Wanrong knew what she meant, these Xiao family relatives. Sitting and talking doesn't hurt your back, just waiting to get the money, how can you understand the hardships of a weak woman fighting outside. If it wasn't for Lao Tzu having two brushes this time, the Xiao family would have been defeated by Tao Dongcheng.

The fourth uncle was waiting to be said, and Lin Wanrong suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "But I don't know the name of this steward?"

The fourth uncle in charge said proudly: "My Xiao family tree ranks fourth in the family tree. You have to call me the fourth master."

"It turns out that your surname is Xiao. After listening to this old man talking for a long time, I thought your surname was Tao." Lin Wanrong said hehe.

That Fourth Master Xiao's expression changed, and he said angrily, "Bold, there is no place for you to be arrogant here."

When the eldest saw Lin San was in his early days, she gave him a grateful glance. To the fourth uncle, he said bluntly: "The fourth uncle's words are wrong. It is my mother's decision to allow Lin San to enter the council hall to discuss matters. Just now, everyone in charge of the business has agreed, and his status is now equivalent to yours. Why not?"

The steward rolled his eyes and couldn't find anything to refute. He knew Lin Wanrongdi. She looked at him angrily, but said nothing.

Who hasn't Lin Wanrong been afraid of? He smiled coldly and said, "This old dead Xiao just kept saying that he wants to repair it with the Tao family.

For the sake of the Tao family. I thought that the dead master was a member of the Tao family, but I didn't expect it to be a member of our Xiao family. A Xiao family, eating and drinking from the Xiao family, does not think about how to do their best for the Xiao family, but instead thinks about protecting others all day long, and would rather harm the interests of the Xiao family than to please others, which is really surprising. . "

Fourth Master Xiao said angrily, "I'm thinking of the foundation of the Xiao family. I don't want to see the foundation of my ancestors destroyed in your hands."

Your mother's, you are a distant relative of the Xiao family, and it was found on the genealogy. The eight poles can't be beaten. It is also embarrassing to say that it is for the sake of the ancestors of the Xiao family, and it is true that you are afraid of coveting the wealth of the Xiao family. Lin Wanrong's eyes are vicious, this dead old master Xiao has jumped out to speak for the Tao family several times. Last time, he almost got Yushuang and himself slapped. This time everyone else was quiet, but he jumped out again. Could it be that he was really upright? Shit, looking at those triangular eyes, you can see that it's not a good thing. It's either taking the benefits of the Tao family, or trying to take the property of the Xiao family, and can't run away.

"For the sake of the Xiao family's foundation? Dead master, the madam is the grandfather's daughter-in-law, the eldest young lady and the second young lady are the granddaughter of the old grandfather. For the sake of the Xiao family, are they deliberately embarrassing the Xiao family? Return the shop to show that it is repaired? These two sentences are extremely easy to say, but it brings shame to Mrs. Xiao. The Tao family's wolf ambitions make it difficult for the Xiao family. There was a forced joint venture last time, and this trip to Hangzhou is even more serious. The Xiao family, the entire Jinling Chamber of Commerce has seen it with their own eyes, and everyone is upset by the Xiao family. Don't you hear it, sir? Everyone knows that the Tao family is going to kill the Xiao family, but some people speak for the Tao family again and again, their actions It's weird, its heart is unpredictable, do you want to get some benefits from the middle?" Lin Wanrong looked at the fourth master and said loudly.

In the past few days, there has been a rumor about the Hangzhou Qingyu Tower in the Jinling business community. Although Zhongshang didn't say anything, he still admired the Xiao family's struggle in his heart, and welcomed the Xiao family's re-appointment as the leader of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. The people present here are all business people, and naturally they have heard a lot of these things. What Lin San said made sense, but the Fourth Master Xiao repeatedly spoke for the Tao family, which made people suspicious.

"You are talking nonsense, where did I get the benefits?" The distant relative Xiao Si suddenly jumped up, his eyes flashed, and he said loudly: "Yu Ruo is an orphan and widowed mother, it is inevitable that people will take advantage of you. When you enter the hall, it's not that you confuse them, what is it?"

"Bold." Before the eldest lady could speak, Mrs. Xiao, who had not spoken for a long time, slapped the table heavily and stood up.

Mrs. Xiao's face was frosty, and the light in her eyes swept away, everyone in the hall was silent, and the fourth master took a peek, then lowered his head and dared not speak.

Madam said coldly: "I am an orphan and widowed mother of the Xiao family. I am dedicated to managing my business and never cause trouble, but if anyone thinks that we are afraid of him, they will be wrong. Although I am a woman, I have also attended the court in the past. Hall, I have attended six schools and worshipped the emperor, so why should I be afraid of who? Xiao family, I definitely can't forgive me lightly."

As soon as Madam spoke, the elders and children of the Xiao family did not dare to speak again. Although the eldest lady has some imposing manners, after all, she is still young and has less prestige than her mother. Mrs. Xiao's face was sinking like water, and her eyes looked around the crowd, no one dared to look at her, which shows the prosperity of prestige.

Lin Wanrong said in her heart, this Mrs. Xiao is really majestic. Hearing what she said, she also attended court in Beijing back then, I don't know if it's true or not. Judging from her age, when she was in Beijing, she was no more than twenty years old, so how could she have worshipped the court? This Miss Guo is really not that simple.

Lin Wanrong couldn't help laughing when she saw that everyone didn't dare to speak. They all said that this is a society where men are superior to women, but this group of big men didn't dare to raise their heads when they were fooled by the eldest lady and the mother and daughter, and it was really boring.

Among the dozens of people, only Lin Wanrong looked happy and contented. He had seen many people, from the first-rank officials of the imperial court to the local senior chiefs, and he had never been afraid of anyone.

Mrs. Xiao was looking at others, but Lin Wanrong was looking at her. Although this Mrs. Xiao was thirty-seven or eighty-years-old, her skin was crystal clear, her cheeks were dizzy, her body was slim and charming, and she looked like a young woman in her thirties. At this time, under the anger, Liu Meifengyan, crisp chest trembling, more graceful and luxurious, beautiful and unparalleled, with a very elegant temperament.

Mrs. Xiao's eyes were stern, and she looked around. When she looked at Lin Wanrong, she was much gentler, with a smile on her face, and nodded slightly to show her approval.

Mrs. Xiao snorted: "In the council hall today, in front of the ancestors of the Xiao family, someone dares to utter nonsense, humiliating my mother and daughter, humiliating my Xiao family, I can't spare him."

As soon as Mrs. Xiao said this, everyone's eyes fell on the distant fourth uncle. The second young lady broke into the council hall that day, and Mrs. Xiao had to beat her own daughter, not to mention a distant uncle brother.

"Xiao Siwei, your father and the old man belong to the same clan, so I asked you to join the Xiao family's affairs according to the genealogy, and I hired you as a steward, but I hope you will do your best for the Xiao family in the face of the same clan and clan. But you But I don't want to make progress, I act nonsense on weekdays, and secretly collect other people's money, and use it to fill up the fine silk, ruining the reputation of my Xiao family. I see your father's ground, and I have spared you several times, and I hope you Repent. But what you have done is really disappointing. Today, you have insulted my mother and daughter, and my ancestors of the Xiao family. It is hard for me not to punish you. Today, I will dismiss you as a manager and punish one Baidaban, what else do you have to say?" The lady looked at the fourth uncle and said sternly.

The fourth uncle of the Xiao family turned pale and said loudly, "How dare you? I am a relative of the Xiao family, and no one can do this to me. If you don't listen to me, you will suffer a lot. Then Master Tao arrived in Jinling today, and it is the right thing to cooperate with him. Otherwise, there is only a dead end—"

"Pull it down, take a heavy responsibility for one hundred large boards, and drive out of the house." Madam Xiao said angrily.

A few servants with big shoulders and round waists rushed in and pulled the fourth uncle out. After a while, a shocking scream came over.

It turns out that he is really a traitor. Lin Wanrong shook his head helplessly. This guy has already done a lot of evil deeds. It is also a blessing that Mrs. Xiao can put up with him. If it was me, he would have already let him go.

Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale, and she said to everyone in the hall: "My Xiao family has been forced to this point, where is there any way out? All the stewards just think about it and assist Yuruo to take over the Tao family cloth village, and don't care about other things."

She glanced at Lin Wanrong, a gratified smile appeared on her face, her red lips parted lightly, and she whispered, "Lin San, you come with me."

When the two entered the side room, Mrs. Xiao looked at him and smiled: "Lin San, what do you think of Yushuang?"
