The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

“So?”

Xia Xue apparently thinks that way too, looking straight at her elder sister. The latter didn’t have much confidence, didn’t even dare to look back, just silent.

“Do you think it should be able to survive? Xia Yu.” She asked.

“…I know the time that happened was terrible.”

Xia Yu lowered his head and responded like this after a long silence with a sound like a dream.

Sue Kirin thinks about what they mean. When Shui Yun’er reminded that “it is the end of the year”, he probably understood. The thing is that at the end of the year, each company needs to settle accounts for a year, so Xia Yu will describe the crisis as “time is too bad”, because other businesses that cooperate with Xia Family will flock at this time. , And Xia Family handed over one-year accounts.

Immediately afterwards, Xia Xue pretended to inadvertently analyze the status quo. On the surface, it seemed to follow the trend, but in fact it was most likely to be explained to Sue Kirin.

Businessmen seem to habitually pay after they have been collected.

Of course, some big businessmen will not care about this tendency.

They have strong financial resources and naturally do not care whether they receive the bill first or pay the bill first. The problem is that the small businessmen will not have a lot of cash reserves, and they will receive the bill first and then pay the bill.

Xia Family as it should be by rights To be classified as a big merchant, many small merchants should have come to Xia Family to collect accounts.

If Xia Family’s warehouse is not stolen and the cash is still available, this will naturally not be a problem.

Now that the cash is almost emptied, the Xia Family is now just for the accounts of these small businessmen, I am afraid it has been burned.

Because of this, Xia Family patriarch will collect some accounts and use those funds as an emergency.

Those small businessmen are not as easy to negotiate as big businessmen. The reason is that they have to deal with other businessmen’s collection problems, but they don’t have cash in hand.

Well, it’s not that they don’t care about human relations, they are also forced to helplessly.

“Only to pay these accounts, if Xia Chengye can collect all the accounts, and then open the private library at home to deal with it, it should not be a big problem.”

It seems that this is just As a trivial matter, Xia Xue lightly made a conclusion. She picked up the tea cup newly served by the maid and drank the tea inside. When she put down the tea cup, her expression became serious in an instant.

“The biggest problem is the bank.”

Her tone changed suddenly.

Sue Kirin is like listening to a climaxing story, and her mood fluctuates with her tone. After a while, the noteworthy term came into her mind.

“The bank?” She couldn’t hide her surprise, “Your family still runs a bank?”

“What’s so strange?” Xia Xue’s expression asked flatly.

“no no no, it’s not surprising, but…didn’t expect it is really very rich.”

As said, Sue Kirin really ate a big shock.

Although it has long been known that Xia Xue’s family is a rich man and a rich world, Sue Kirin didn’t expect to be able to open a bank.

Sue Kirin doesn’t know much about it, but at least he knows that there should be an equal amount of gold or silver behind every silver ticket to support its value.

In this way, how can the wealthy people with insufficient financial resources afford to run a bank?

Xia Family is able to operate a bank, it must be quite qualified, and even has a good relationship with the government and the Imperial Court, otherwise the latter will not allow them to hoard such a large amount of cash.

“Xia’s elder sister’s family is a well-known wealthy businessman. If it weren’t for the mining rights of mineral property rights, it could only be in the hands of the emperor’s merchants. Xia’s elder sister’s family must be more than that.”

Glanced at Shui Yun’er, Xia Xue put on an unhappy expression.

“The two are the foundation of the country, and most people who bump into each other will not have a good end.”

“The little girl is still against it.” Xia Yu smiled bitterly.

“If you want to touch those two things, unless you take money and bribes, you must let the Imperial Family Zongfu settle in. If the former is detected by those rigid censors, you will be bitten to death, and the latter ──hmph! At that time, the Xia Family will not be surnamed Xia, but will have the surname Qin.”

“Oh…”

Sue Kirin blinked ignorantly, his mind turned a little But come.

She doesn’t understand this issue very well, but she also understands that some resources related to the lifeline of the country can only be firmly grasped in the hands of the Imperial Court.

Salt and mine are one of the people’s livelihood and the other is the military. Both are impossible. They are truly in the hands of ordinary merchants, and banks should be the same. However, the Imperial Court allows private banks and must have corresponding policies to control them. , Such as taxes and strict supervision by officials.

“Banks not only have to bear the pressure of businessmen who have business cooperation, but also the people and the government. They must be the first to solve it.”

Xia Xue’s business sense has always been very keen, since she Such a conclusion would definitely not be wrong, and Xia Yu’s silent reaction almost acquiesced in the correctness of her younger sister’s remarks.

“Ai, it’s a coincidence.”

As if drinking imported medicine is not tea but medicine, Xia Yu is slightly younger than her actual age, and her face wrinkles. Together, the voice became distant.

“The big brother didn’t notice it for a while, and this decision was considered a whim, how could it be such a coincidence.”

“Coincidence?”

It seems to be heard What a funny thing, Xia Xue, who was spinning the tea cup, couldn’t help laughing. She put down the tea cup.

“Do you think this is a coincidence? Year after year, the warehouses are settled separately, but this year, a’whisper’ concentrated in the warehouse of the mansion has happened. Will there be such a coincidence in the world?”

“Are you suspicious of your big brother?”

“The whole family belongs to him, I doubt what he is doing.” Xia Xue cast a glance at Xia Yu, “I’m just telling You, don’t naively think that this is just an accident.”

As if he was gagged by Xia Xue’s words, Xia Yu wanted to speak for several times and then stopped. In the end, all he could say was that A worried sigh.

“Indeed…” She admitted that this incident was not purely an accident.

Is it because I happen to know that “Xia Family gathers all the cash in one place” is causing evil intentions, or is it premeditated but found that the Xia Family cash is concentrated here when opening the warehouse, simply Evacuate in one go?

The other party’s original purpose is still unknown, the only thing that can be sure is that the other party must have already planned on Xia Mansion.

Moreover, it is almost certain that a martial artist get involved. Xia Family, the rich side, when its cash is gathered together, it must be extremely spectacular. Both volume and weight are unimaginable, and it must not be reachable by the ordinary person to move it, let alone such a large sum of money. If you gather together, you will definitely pay attention to its safety and arrange enough-even more than enough strength to protect it.

This power is probably a martial artist power.

So, Xiaoxue came with me, did he mean to want me to help? Sue Kirin each minding their own business got a satisfactory answer and felt that being able to rely on Xia Xue is a refreshing good thing.

She is not at all thankful that Xia Family has suffered this misfortune.

It’s just that Xia Xue has a knife mouth, and if she is forced to do nothing, she will not show weakness and rely on the character of others. She has rarely asked for help from others, and she is most in need. At that time, I went to Sue Kirin, which proved that she should trust the girl in her heart.

You can’t know the other person’s mind from words, you can only understand from these things.

Sue Kirin can hardly appreciate the value of his existence from Xia Xue, and feel happy about it, and lightly laughed casually.

“What are you laughing at?”

Xia Xue has sharp eyes, catching the girl’s subtle changes, and immediately pressing this question on her face.

“Yeah!”

Sue Kirin, who was indulged in self-satisfaction, was startled, her body trembled, and at the same time she jumped up.

She looked at a few people in a panic like waking up in her sleep, her long black hair swaying with the movement, like a scared little animal.

Just as she tried her best to think about how to pass the customs under Xia Xue’s scrutiny, two footsteps came from outside the hall.

“en?”

The visitors approached quickly.

As a Grandmaster, Sue Kirin, whose five senses are far beyond ordinary people, took the lead to look outside. Xia Xue took a step slower and followed her eyes farther.

As everyone watched, Hong Zhengyuan’s silhouette appeared in the courtyard of the hall.

He was also followed by an elderly man with white hair and deadwood palms. Although he was wearing expensive clothes, his body was curved forward. Bend, I don’t know if it is the old hunchback or the body instinct that has been transformed into a long-term bow and knee.

This Elderly is probably the “Uncle Song” mentioned by Xia Yu.

“Second Young Lady, four Young Lady, I brought Song Steward.”

Hong Zhengyuan stopped in front of the main seat and gave a report to the two Xia Family Young Lady. Compared to Xia Xue’s attitude of a matter of no concern to oneself, Xia Yu gave a “um”.

“Brother Hong has worked hard.”

After soothing, Xia Yu’s eyes showed dissatisfaction.

“But, why have you been there for so long?”

“This…Song Steward was not in the house just now.”

Hong Zhengyuan smiled bitterly and squinted sideways. Elderly, the latter stepped forward knowingly, paying respect for Xia Yu and Xia Xue in order.

“Song Shu has seen the Second Young Lady and the Four Young Lady.”

After paying respect, he stood up straight, but he still looked a little hunched. He turned to Xia Xue with a touch of feeling, tears in the corners of his eyes as he twisted his neck.

“Four Young Lady, Song Shu hasn’t seen you for many years. You look…looks grown up…and still very young.”

While lamenting the taste of “things have remained the same, but people have changed for so many years,” and the comfort of “the child who has been watching all the time has grown up”, Elderly seems to be suppressing some kind of excitement Emotionally, the old body was shaking.

Hearing what he said, Xia Xue’s ass left the seat for an instant, as if she wanted to stand up to welcome him, but finally gave up.

“…old man, I thought you had stepped into the coffin with half your foot long ago, didn’t expect that you are still alive, and you are alive and healthy.”

When Xia Xue said this, Sue Kirin could feel the complexity of her emotions.

Although the girl Elder of Heavenly Jade Palace tried to keep her tone as steady as possible, she still showed a small fluctuation, and the girl caught it.

“Song Shu’s other foot is coming soon, but the fourth Young Lady is still very young and healthy. There is nothing more comforting to Song Shu than this.”

Elderly of Song Book and steward of Xia Family wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and laughed happily, revealing his ununity teeth.

Xia Xue’s eyes drifted away coldly, seeming to drift into the long past.

Perhaps, she has a good relationship with Song Shu. Sue Kirin always feels that she is more happy to see Song Shu than to see her second sister.

“Okay, okay, look at the way you cry so hard to hug each other, let’s wait for the old days.”

Although Xia Yu’s face is “I really can’t help you” His helpless attitude also interrupted the communication between the two, but then he did not forget to reveal mischievously:

“My little sister used to be Song Steward before Song and Uncle Song. “

“Xia Yu!”

Xia Xue rarely excites her voice, even the tune is gone.

Sue Kirin was stunned when she saw that the girl who was always mocking her face was so embarrassed that her face was slightly red, her mouth and chin almost touching the ground, and Shui Yuner She also secretly smiled.

Now, Xia Xue is a bit fly into a rage out of humiliation.

“Your thoughts are really like a heavenly steed, soaring across the skies. It would be a waste of talent not to tell the story.”

It is easy to see that she is trying to take all of this Said to be the delusion of everyone present.

“This is the so-called faint smile!”

Sue Kirin imitated Xia Xue’s usual faint smile and laughed.

“A clumsy denial resulting in self-exposure is more appropriate.” Shui Yuner also took a step.

Being ridiculed by the master and disciple, Xia Xue’s expression gradually became gloomy, but at a certain point it turned into a chilling sweet smile.

That smile means: Don’t expect to be forgiven, you can only ask for blessings.

Perhaps with an abacus to ease the atmosphere, Xia Yu commented that “you have a good relationship” when both sides pointed at her, but she did not give anyone the opportunity to speak, and turned to Song Shu to ask Said:

“Uncle Song, you just went out to discuss matters?”

Sighed Song, his tone was dull.

“Yes, go to the fifth house to negotiate.”

The three words for the fifth house may be special, and Xia Xue’s eyebrows trembled a few times.

“The fifth one is also one of the richest merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.”

Shui Yun’er puts her lips together to remind Sue Kirin’s ear, exhaling like orchids, with the fresh smell of water Sue Kirin’s ears were itchy due to the breath of

“How is the situation?” “I didn’t let go, just extended the deadline, but an utterly inadequate measure…”

Song Shu regretfully shook the head, Xia Yulian There was a frustration like a wall, and Xia Xue didn’t know what she was thinking, looking a little sluggish.

They stopped talking, each had its own troubles.

The atmosphere gradually became a little heavy.

“Well, doesn’t Xiao Yu have something to ask this Uncle Song’s baa?”

So Sue Kirin brought up the matter, hoping to slightly dispel the heavy gathering breath.

“By the way, I almost forgot.”

Xia Yu patted his thigh and looked up at Song Shu again.

“Second Young Lady, what do you want to ask Song Shu?” Elderly respectfully asked her to speak up.

“Uncle Song, I told Ludie a while ago to come to you and let you inform the younger sisters in the house about coming back, right?”

“It’s true. “

Song Shu answered without hesitation, he must be very impressed by the matter.

“Then why Hong didn’t receive the notification and made a joke about blocking the little girl outside the door?”

Xia Yu’s eyes drooped slightly and she voted this seriously Asked, and briefly explained the confrontation that happened outside the house.

Before listening, Song Shu’s eyes widened in amazement.

“What happened?”

He criticized out in surprise and quickly apologized to Xia Xue.

“Song Shu is not doing well in this matter! It has affected the fourth Young Lady!”

“old man, tell me the reason.” Xia Xue answered slowly.

Elderly nodded nodded, thought about it with a serious look, and replied briefly:

“Song Shu did pass through the whole mansion. As for the head of Hong, why didn’t he know anything, I think there is some misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?” Xia Yu raised an eyebrow.

Yes, Song Shu bowed his hands again and continued to explain:

“At that time, Song Shu thought this matter was important, so he should take a trip by himself, but he has not seen Song Instructor met Five Young Masters. He asked me when I was in such a hurry, thinking that he would also be happy about it, so he told him about the Fourth Young Lady’s coming back, and explained that he was for this reason. He was running. At that time, he also seemed very happy, and said that he would do something to find the leader Hong for Song Shu, and let Song Shu be prepared.”

“You said, it was the fifth brother who took the initiative. Asked to inform Brother Hong on your behalf?”

As she asked, Xia Yu’s brows frowned even tighter.

“Yes.” Song Shu answered without hesitation.

Isn’t it a lie? Sue Kirin thought to himself, he began to suspect that the Xia Family Five Young Master was instigating it.

“Wait.”

Xia Xue raised her hand to ask them to stop first, tilting her head slightly for unknown reasons.

“If I heard you right, did you just say five Young Masters? When did my house have a Five Young Masters? Did Old Master crawl out of the tomb and pull out another one?”

Faced with Xia Xue’s questioning, Xia Yu’s expression turned awkward.

“This…I’m afraid you are upset, so I never told you…”

“Say.”

“Do you remember our church Brother? It’s the one that played with us when I was young.”

“Xia Fei?”

Xia Xue spit out a name not sure, and Xia Yu nodded to make sure it was right. .

“Yes, he is our fifth Young Master. The big brother adopted him on his behalf.”

Immediately after this sentence, Sue Kirin heard a sneer .

──It was the most disdainful sneer she had ever heard.

As if things were ridiculous, Xia Xue’s expression at this time was not “snort disdainfully” to describe, but contempt to the extreme, and even with the disgust of stepping on cow dung accidentally on the road.
