Different generation married man

At the same time, a convoy outside the capital also slowly came towards Yuncheng.

The carriage staggered forward all the way. It was not a pleasant day to drive in this weather. A slight movement would cause sweat all over the body.

Even if there is an occasional breeze, it only brings bursts of heat, which can't slow down the heat on the body at all.Chen Zhi lifted the curtains to look out, and asked the guards outside, "When will I arrive in the next town, I'm almost dying of heat."

The guard stepped forward and smiled, "My lord, we have only left the city not long ago, and we still have half a day to go to the next town." Seeing that Chen Zhi's face was grim, he hurriedly changed his words, "However, there are some There is a forest and a small river, where we can rest for a while before we go."

Chen Zhi waved his hand gloomily, "Okay!"

Chen Zhi was sitting, and a maid beside him was fanning him with a fan, and asked, "My lord, isn't it too early for the end of the year? Why does the master want you to go to Yuncheng at this time?"

There were ice trays in the four corners of the car, but it wasn't very hot in fact, Chen Zhi was just feeling uncomfortable and took advantage of the opportunity.

Chen Zhi is the eldest son of the Chen family's generation, and Yuncheng is an important foundation of the Chen family. Every time at the end of the year, when the sugar cane is harvested, people will be sent to Yuncheng to supervise it.

In the past, Chen Jinpeng sent his confidants there, but this year there was Su Mo, and Chen Jinpeng planned to send someone there first, so as to meet Su Mo.It just so happened that the son-in-law was gradually getting familiar with the various affairs of the family in the past few years, so he was sent there.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that this is Mr. Chen training Chen Zhi, and everyone knows who the next generation of the Chen family will be.

Chen Zhi thought of his father's confession before he left, but he still didn't care about it, thinking that he was only a twin, so what if he had some skills?And it's just caramel similar to Shimi, which is used by low-class people, and it will not affect the business and status of their Chen family.

Although Master Chen spoke cautiously, Chen Zhi always felt that Master Chen was making too much fuss.

Such hot weather drove him out of the house.

He thought that when he arrived in Yuncheng, he would meet Su Mo first to see who he was, and he deserved the old man's attention.

He closed his eyes and hummed softly, "This year is the Sugar Appreciation Fair, so we have to make arrangements early."

Mei Zhi said disapprovingly, "My lord is just being too cautious. Our three aristocratic families have won the top prizes in the three-year sugar appraisal meeting more than a dozen times in a row. There is nothing to be nervous about. Such a hot day I still have to go out to see if you are warmed up, young master."

The three aristocratic families have monopolized the sugar production for so many years. Although the royal family's internal offerings are selected once every three years, it is actually just a formality. Anyway, they come in rotation among the three families, and it will never be the turn of others.

After all, the best sugar making techniques have always been in the hands of the three great families, even if those people tried their best, they couldn't think of a way to make frosting sugar better.

As long as this technology exists, the three major families can be regarded as sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"You still hurt me!" Chen Zhi sighed, threw a grape into his mouth, and stretched out his hand to squeeze Mei Zhi's hand.

"Young master! This slave is yours. Who else can you feel sorry for if you don't feel sorry for him?" Mei Zhi cast a strange look at Chen Zhi, lowered her head slightly, put on her fan, and went to peel grapes for him, while peeling the grapes that had been peeled. Feed the grapes into Chen Zhi's mouth.

Taking advantage of the situation, they got closer again, and said coquettishly, "My lord, but there are still several months before I arrive at the Jianhui, why is it so early?"

Chen Zhi hugged Mei Zhi, and the two leaned close to each other, saying, "It's not that Su Mo's trouble, what caramel? It's worth the old man's attention."

Mei Zhi rolled her eyes, "Is that the Gemini who made the caramel? The servant heard that the caramel was made like honey, is it true?"

Chen Zhi snorted, and said disdainfully, "How is it possible, it's just those people who don't know the goods, just boasting, just like Shi Mi."

Mei Zhi curled her lips, "Since that's the case, do we need to pay so much attention? Doesn't this give that person face for nothing?"

Chen Zhi also thought so, but he didn't say so, "It's good to go to Yuncheng at this time, the entire foundation of the Chen family is in Yuncheng, so why not for your young master and me?"

Mei Zhi smiled coquettishly, "Master still values ​​you, Young Master."

After talking and laughing like this, they walked to the small woods, and the guards came to report, asking Chen Zhi to come down and rest for a while before leaving.

Chen Zhi was helped out of the car.

Although this grove is not big, there is a small river in the middle of the grove, and business travelers like to rest here.

When they arrived, there were people resting in the forest, just a carriage and a few guards, they looked like ordinary people on the road.

Chen Zhi glanced at it, lost interest, and went to the river with Mei Zhi, washed his face with clean water, and sat on a big rock beside him to rest.

The tree here is full of shade, and occasionally a breeze blows, bringing a little bit of coolness. Chen Zhi sits on the stone to rest, and Meizhi fetches water from the water bag by the river.

When Mei Zhi came back, she whispered to Chen Zhi, "My lord, look at that man."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Chen Zhi followed Mei Zhi's line of sight, and saw a young man sitting on the other side.

"The servant knows that man." Mei Zhi said.

"Who is it?" Chen Zhi took a look and asked casually.

"It's the young owner of the Su family's sugar shop." Mei Zhi whispered.

"The Su family... um! The Su family?" Chen Zhi was still casual, but suddenly he sat up straight and looked at Mei Zhi, "Su family, which Su family?"

Mei Zhi pushed him lightly, "Which Su family is there, isn't it the Su family that has a twin who can make sugar, but pushes people out?"

Chen Zhi turned his head to look again, took a look, and said critically, "He is the young master of the Su family? How did you know him?"

"A few days ago, my servant went to Yuzhen Pavilion to buy young master a new pastry. When I came back, I happened to see it at the gate. This young master Su came to visit, but he was rejected by the gatekeeper."

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes, "I see."

He heard people say that this young master of the Su family has been looking for opportunities to make friends with the family these days, but he has never met him once.

After thinking about it, he recruited a guard and said something in a low voice. The guard walked up to Su Mu and whispered something.

Su Mu looked up, just in time to see Chen Zhi, he was slightly startled, then immediately got up and walked over.

Chen Zhi stood up straight, plum branches straightened his clothes carefully, Su Mu saluted Chen Zhi, "Mr. Chen."

Chen Zhi nodded slightly reservedly, "Mr. Su." He glanced at the carriage not far away, "Are you going back to Yuncheng?"

Su Mu said, "I am indeed planning to go back to Yuncheng, I don't know Mr. Chen?"

"I'm going to Yuncheng." Su Mu's eyes lit up, and he heard Chen Zhi say, "Since we're on the same road, let's go together! It's good to have someone to take care of you on the way."

Su Mu was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed again, "Then I will thank Mr. Chen."

"No need." Chen Zhi waved his hand and took Mei Zhi into the carriage.

"My lord, why did you allow him to go with us?" Mei Zhi couldn't figure it out, "He's just the son of a small sugar merchant, so why should you pay him so much?"

Chen Zhi glanced at her with a smile, "You don't understand, the so-called knowing the enemy is the only way to win every battle. If you want to deal with Su Mo, of course you have to start with someone who understands him."

Chen Zhi pointed to the carriage behind the team and smiled meaningfully.

Mei Zhi understood immediately, and complimented, "You are still a young master, you are thoughtful."

Next, Su Mu intends to make friends, and Chen Zhi wants to learn more about Su Mo from Su Mu's mouth. The two hit it off and became acquainted within two days.

Those who didn't know thought the two were friends who had known each other for many years!

So all the way to Yuncheng, the two returned home.

Chen Yue brought people to meet Chen Zhi at the gate of the Chen Mansion early on. Although the two were cousins ​​in name, Chen Yue was much older than Chen Zhi, but he was only from a side branch, so naturally he didn't dare to stand in front of Chen Zhi. .

When Chen Zhi got out of the carriage, he first glanced critically at the Chen Mansion in front of him, and then he turned his eyes to Chen Yue who was at the front of the line.

Chen Yue took the lead and said, "The eldest son has been exhausted all the way, it's hard work. I have prepared a banquet to welcome the eldest son, please."

"Please!" Chen Zhi smiled and made a gesture with Chen Yue, and the two walked in hand in hand.

Naturally, it was a feast for the guests and the host.

On the other side, Su Mu hurried back to the Su Mansion, and went to see Su Qizhi and Bai Shi first as soon as he entered the door.

When Su Mu arrived in Bai's yard, he saw Bai sitting on the couch with a haggard face, surrounded by a strange mother.

As soon as she saw him, tears flowed from Bai's eyes, "Mu'er, are you back?"

"My son has seen his mother." Su Mu knelt down and kowtowed to Shi Bai. Just after he kowtowed, Shi Bai pulled him up, and took a handkerchief to wipe the floating dust on his forehead.

After looking at him carefully for a while, he said with a choked voice, "It's good to be back, these few months in the capital, have you taken good care of yourself?"

"Mother, don't worry! There are so many people around my son, how can I treat myself badly." Su Mu smiled, and while helping Bai Shi back to sit, he asked, "It's me, I heard that something happened at home. My father also fell ill, and said it was related to my third brother. Mother, what is going on here?"

Bai sighed, "Your father is ill, go and see him first! We'll talk about anything later."

Su Mu helped Mrs. Bai up, and the two went to Su Qizhi's room together. As soon as they entered the room, they smelled the smell of medicine.

Su Qizhi was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, but he could still see that he was sick and haggard, his eyes were black and blue, and he had lost a lot of weight.

Bai-shi lowered her voice and said, "Master fell asleep?"

The serving girl nodded quietly, and lowered her voice extremely low, "Master, I just fell asleep after taking soothing soup."

Bai Shi nodded, and said to Su Mu, "Let's go out and talk first after the master sleeps a little longer."

Both of them were afraid of startling Su Qizhi, so they quietly backed out again.

As soon as he came out, Su Mu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, mother? Why is dad so sick?"

Holding the hand of the old mother, Bai walked into the garden, and sighed heavily when she heard the words, "It's not because of the mourning star."

Su Mu frowned, and asked Bai, "Mother, what's going on? I didn't hear it clearly in the capital, I only know that it seems to be related to Su Mo."

"Of course it's true!" Mentioning Su Mobai's teeth, he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from him.

She sneered, "Su Mo is capable now. He has obtained Mei's sugar-making secret technology and made new sugar. Now he is cooperating with Yu's family to open several candy houses. He can open it! He just opened it to us Next to the two shops, most of the business was robbed by him, which made your father the laughing cake of the entire Yuncheng. It also caused Mammy Liu to lose her life."

Having said that, Bai Shi cried holding the handkerchief, Su Mu helped her to sit on the side of the rockery, and wiped her tears clumsily.
