Chapter 16 Eccentricity

The three wives of the Chu family, the eldest wife, came from a big family. The second wife was the daughter of Ding Kaishan, the owner of the Kaishan Martial Arts Hall of Tongzhou Prefecture. Only this third wife has no background and is just the daughter of an ordinary little businessman. She was able to marry Chu Zongguang simply because of her youthful and beautiful appearance.

However, the only advantage of this third lady is that she is smart and knows that she is not good at her background, so she does not fight or rob. In the end, the second lady has to take the initiative to win over her.

At this time, the second wife came to Chu Shang's house. The third wife immediately walked out of the house and greeted with a smile: "Sister comes to me today, why don't you say it in advance?"

Chu Shang also followed the third lady and respectfully called Ernie.

The second wife dribbled and pulled the person into the house and said lightly: "Just chatting, what else should I say in advance? By the way, the shops under the hell are all pretty good, right? Is it enough?"

The third lady's expression changed, and she hurriedly said, "The shops of Shuai Er are all inns and restaurants that don't have much income. Apart from the ones handed over to the family, there is not much money. However, Shuai Er didn't want to compete for the position of the heir, so this income is just right."

Seeing that the third wife seemed to have misunderstood her own meaning, the second wife smiled and said, "My sister misunderstood. I don't mean that. The wounded is still young now. Even if he doesn't want to compete for the head of the family, he has to hold some more profitable businesses. Just like what your sister said just now, the wounded business has not much profitable."

The third wife and Chu Shao's eyes lit up. The third wife said calmly: "But the Chu family has only so many businesses. The master has already given Chu Shao those shops. I'll ask for them again, it's a bit too ungrateful."

The second wife stood up and said, "No matter if the master wants it, you can exchange it with others. I heard that Chu Xiu's caravan has made good profits recently, and the caravan's profit has even more than doubled."

After saying that, the second wife turned around and left, and she believed that the other party would understand what she meant.

After the second wife left, the third wife and Chu Shang looked at each other, and almost both of them made up their minds.

The third wife has no background, and Chusan is too young, so they won’t fight or fight.

But they don’t fight or rob because they can’t fight against the eldest brother of the Chu family and the third brother of the Chu family.

But they can still grab Chu Xiu, who has no background and is not liked by Chu Zongguang.

The next morning, Chu Xiu was practicing swords in his courtyard. After his repeated practice, the simplest sword technique of Qinglong in the sleeve had almost become instinct.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn’t know the specific power now. Martial arts are the way to kill. If you don’t kill people, how can you train a real killing skill?

At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the house. He opened the door and an old man stood outside the door and said, "Second Young Master, the master called you to come over."

The person who came was Housekeeper Chen, and Chu Xiu also knew that Housekeeper Chen was Chu Zongguang's personal housekeeper. Although he did not care about specific matters, his status in the Chu family was much greater than that of Housekeeper Liu.

Moreover, this butler Chen was very polite to Chu Xiu. In Chu Xiu's memory, when he was in the Chu family, the elders and uncles of the Chu family, as well as the big butlers of the level of Butler Liu, were very arrogant towards him. Only this butler Chen could call him the second son every time he saw Chu Xiu.

After reciprocating, Chu Xiu was very polite to Butler Chen. He nodded and said, "Butler Chen wait a moment, I will change my clothes and go there."

After changing into his clothes, Chu Xiu and Butler Chen went to Chu Zongguang's residence, but on the way, Butler Chen suddenly said: "Second Master, what will the master say later? I hope you can calm down."

Speaking of this, Butler Chen also sighed. Chu Zongguang did some things too much, but the family was like this, and there was no so-called fairness at all. He was just worried that the second young master's personality is a bit radical now. If he did something that shouldn't be done with Chu Zongguang, it would be a bit bad.

After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Chu Xiu immediately knew that this time there was probably nothing good.

However, Chu Xiu still smiled and nodded, "Thank you, butler Chen, for reminding me, I am very responsible."

After rebirth, the integration of memories of the two lives was naturally dominated by the memories of Chu Xiu in his previous life, but the memories of this life also affected his personality.

Chu Xiu in his previous life tended to be gloomy and calm, had a plan to do things, and could see things thoroughly.

Chu Xiu's personality in this life was cowardly and reckless. This personality did not affect Chu Xiu. On the contrary, in the Nanshan Mining Area, Chu Xiu's life was infected with some violent and crazy temperament, but it had some influence on Chu Xiu's personality now.

For example, Li Tong from the Li family provoked Chu Xiu before, but Chu Xiu stabbed him to death without hesitation. Afterwards, Chu Xiu felt no discomfort at all.

Of course, even if Chu Xiu's character is mixed with a little tyrannical and madness, he is confident that he will not be able to suppress it and will not make any bad things at critical moments.

Chu Xiu was led into Chu Zongguang's study by Butler Chen. At this time, in addition to Chu Zongguang's study, there was also the fourth Chu Shu.

"I've met my father."

Chu Xiu bowed to Chu Zongguang, and Chu Shuai also bowed to Chu Xiu, and said with respect on his face: "I have met my second brother."

Chu Xiu narrowed his eyes. His fourth brother has never called him a second brother a few times since he was a child.

Seeing Chu Xiu coming, Chu Zongguang coughed and said, "Sit down, I want to discuss something with you today."

Chu Xiuyi bowed and said, "If you have anything, just say it."

Chu Zongguang said: "Your caravan has developed well during this period. I didn't expect that you have been training in the Nanshan mining area for this year and have grown a lot. No matter whether you can become the heir of my Chu family in the future, you will definitely be the mainstay of my Chu family in the future. Therefore, you brothers must be harmonious and help each other."

Chu Xiu frowned secretly. Chu Zongguang's words were a bit strange. What was going on with their brothers? Didn't Chu Zongguang know? The brothers are still harmonious. Now they look like they are almost stabbing them face to face.

But thinking about this in my heart, Chu Xiu nodded and said, "What my father is saying."

Chu Zongguang nodded and said, "It's good that you can think so. That's right. Although Chu Shang is still young, he has also changed his experience. Last time you personally led the caravan to Yan State, which is very good. Chu Shang now wants to learn from your second brother and lead the caravan to practice.

So I plan to exchange your caravan with the shops under Chu Shang's name, and let your fourth brother manage the caravan."

A hint of gloom appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. No wonder Butler Chen wanted to calm him down before. His cheap father's preference was too obvious.

When the caravan is in danger, Chu's wound will not go, and when the income is low, Chu's wound will not go. When he opens up the trade route and can be safely and unobstructed, he is ready to let Chu's wound go. The peach-picking appearance is too ugly.

Butler Chen, who was standing beside him, stared at Chu Xiu nervously, for fear that he would not be able to help but get angry and attacked on the spot.

However, beyond the expectations of Butler Chen, Chu Xiu was silent for a while, then he looked up and smiled, "Since my father has made the decision, then I will give it to the fourth brother of the caravan."

Chu Zongguang nodded with satisfaction. He wanted everything to be stable, and what he hated the most was that his son disobeyed his own will.

Seeing Chu Xiu so tactful, Chu Zongguang said, "I am content when I see your brothers harmonious. In this way, Chu Shu's shops are all inns and restaurants. I will give you another weapon shop and leave them to you to take care of them."

Chu Zongguang turned his head to Chu Shang again and said, "Although the caravan belongs to you, you are still young, so you should study humbly. In this way, when the caravan leaves, I will let Lin Qian go with you."

A cold light appeared in Chu Xiu's eyes. Lin Qian was one of the two strongest disciples of their Chu family. He had the strength of the blood coagulation realm and was only responsible for guiding some of the Chu family's disciples in their daily lives.

Shangmeng Mountain was extremely dangerous at the beginning, but Chu Zongguang just said he was careful. As a result, if it was Chu Shao, there were guards in the Blood Coagulation Realm, all of whom were sons, but the gap was not a little bit.

Of course, Chu Xiu didn't feel imbalanced. He never regarded Chu Zongguang as his father in his heart, including the memories of his previous life. He had only fear of Chu Zongguang.

Moreover, only Chu Shang can enjoy this kind of treatment within the Chu family, and Chu Kai and Chu Sheng are not much better than him.

A hint of pride appeared in Chu Shao's eyes, and he first lowered his head and bowed to Chu Zongguang and said, "Thank you, father."

Then he bowed to Chu Xiugong and said, "Thank you, second brother."

Chu Xiu raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's nothing, but the business road is rugged. Fourth brother, you'd better be careful."

After saying that, Chu Xiu said goodbye and left, but a cold look appeared in his eyes.
