The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 182 Planning

Leng Qingyu dealt with Tao Qian's matter and then asked Manager Xu about what he had found out in the capital.

Xu Yan knew what his boss was asking, so he quickly told him everything he had found out in the past few days.

"Master has asked someone to find out. The woman who lives in Yongning Lane is surnamed Zhao. She has lived in the lane for more than ten years."

He has been working in the Leng family for ten years. He is the most proud disciple of Master Wan Qinian and knows the head of the Leng family very well.

More than ten years ago, the friendship between the Dong family and the Marquis was the strongest.

No one would have thought that Lord Lu, who was deeply in love with his boss, already had a mistress at that time.

He carefully looked at Leng Qingyu's face, and when he saw that she didn't have any special expression, he continued:

"Mrs. Zhao has a son who is fourteen years old this year. He passed the imperial examination two years ago and is said to be highly regarded in Fengming Academy. He is polite, intelligent and studious, and the teachers in the academy like him very much.

This year I plan to get a top three in the autumn exam.”

This is different from their Young Master Lu.

Although Young Master Lu is a good student, he is not outstanding.

And he always has a kind of arrogance.

It is said that except for Wei Jingyi, he never made friends with his classmates, nor did he take the teacher seriously. People in the academy were polite to him only for the sake of the marquis.

"Have you found out what this man from Mrs. Zhao's family does?"

Leng Qingyu didn't care about other people's children and asked directly.

They both knew who the man of this family was.

Xu Yan replied: "I asked the neighbors around, and they all said that the man's surname is Lu, and he does business outside and only comes back a few times a year.

They have been neighbors for so many years, but have never seen that man.

More than ten years ago, when Mrs. Zhao gave birth, she was not here either. She said she was going to the south to find her husband. She came back more than a year later. When she came back, she had a baby by her side. "

Leng Qingyu chuckled.

"The surname Lu, it's hard for these two people, they hide so deeply."

Xu Yan continued, "The person who investigated this matter didn't know the whole story. After getting the news, Master gave him some money and sent him away.

So please rest assured, Boss, apart from Master and me, no one in Lengji Cloth Shop knows about this matter."

Leng Qingyu could tell that Xu Yan was defending herself.

If word got out that the man in her family was cheating on her, her reputation would definitely be damaged.

But Leng Qingyu doesn't care about this too much now.

The one who cheated was Lu Tingen, so he should be the one to be embarrassed.

As a wife, she behaves properly and sits upright, so why should she feel ashamed for him?

She has more important things to do.

"What's going on with Lu Tingsong and Lu Tingyi?"

she continued to ask.

Xu Yan smiled and continued, “Just as you expected, there was a commotion at the Lu family on the first day of this month.

I heard that the second and third branches of the Lu family were arguing about not being able to make ends meet, and they wanted to ask Lord Lu for money.

Our people are familiar with the maids in the mansion. It is said that the second and third rooms do not do anything excessive. They just bring their entire family of more than a dozen people to the marquis' mansion to eat at mealtime every day.

The old lady of the Marquis's Mansion felt sorry for her two sons. Even though she was angry, she asked the servants to treat them well.

After a few days, perhaps because the boss didn't reply, the Marquis took something out of the warehouse and gave it to them, and then they stopped talking!"

"Took something from Curry?"

Leng Qingyu narrowed his eyes.

There are two private vaults in the Marquis' Mansion, one belongs to the old lady, and the other one belongs to Leng Qingyu.

Leng Qingyu's private vault was filled with the dowry she brought with her.

The old lady's storeroom was closely guarded, and she was the only one who had the key.

However, Leng Qingyu had two keys to the warehouse, one of which was in the hands of the Marquis.

The only warehouse that the Marquis can open is hers.

If it were in the past, if the Marquis took the initiative to ask her for something, Leng Qingyu might have given it to him without saying a word.

But now...

Leng Qingyu chuckled and decided to go back and take a careful inventory of the warehouse to see what was missing.

"Has Lu Tingyi been to Baozhaifang recently?" Leng Qingyu asked again.

Baozhaifang is the largest gambling house in the capital.

Lu Tingyi was addicted to gambling. He had used up most of the family's assets on gambling and even owed a huge amount of debt outside.

If Leng Qingyu hadn't helped, Lu Tingyi's family would have been broken up.

Later, the old lady threatened to commit suicide, and Lu Tingyi finally stopped.

But how can a gambler really put his mind to rest?

The last letter from Manager Wan said that Lu Tingyi seemed to have gone gambling again recently.

Leng Qingyu asked him to observe secretly, and if necessary, someone could come forward and lend him some money.

This time Leng Qingyu didn't plan to help him pay off his debts, he just wanted to be his creditor.

"Yes, almost every other day."

Xu Yan answered.

"But when I left the capital, his luck was still good. I heard that he won a lot and didn't need to borrow money from outside for the time being."

"There's no rush for that."

Leng Qingyu said calmly, "Nine times out of ten, he loses in gambling. Sooner or later, he will have to borrow money."

……

While Leng Qingyu was making the overall plan, Ye Xinran was also at the clinic, planning with Li Mo to open a branch in the provincial capital.

"Now everyone in Tianchang Prefecture knows about our Shunyi Hall. Plus, the Snow Cream is so famous. I think the time has come for our Yongle Hall to enter Tianchang Prefecture."

Ye Xinran was amused by his appearance and was also infected by his determination.

"Doctor, are you ready?"

Li Mo had already made plans and said, "I already have people ready, so this is not a problem. The only thing I'm worried about now is the shop.

I asked someone to look over there, and there were not many impressive storefronts facing the street.

Now that we are living in the city, we can’t just find a place randomly like we did in Yuntong County.”

Seeing that Ye Xinran had no objection to this, he added: “I also considered the issue of the Snow Cream when I wanted to find a big place.

Our Snow Face Cream is selling so well now, and the price is so high. When we get to the capital, it must have a grand storefront to match its current status and price!

After all, clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse, so when a clothing store sells clothes, it has to put the most expensive clothes in the most conspicuous place!"

"I understand!"

Ye Xinran said.

Li Mo didn't need to say much, she also understood the importance of publicity.

At present, when people think of Snow Face Cream, the first thing that comes to mind is scar removal, and they often ignore its other functions.

Ye Xinran plans to make some more products in the same series as the Snow Cream, such as whitening and anti-wrinkle products...

In this way, we will definitely be able to open up a wider market.

"I know someone who has a lot of connections. I'll ask her to find someone to help me find out about the storefront."

Ye Xinran said.
