Chapter 580: Under the Cover, There is a Pure Land
Xu Yu, who was said to be born with wealth, was not interested in doing business, but he was able to sit down and listen with great interest no matter what Sang Zhixia talked about, even if the remarks sounded fantastic.
After listening to it, he would spontaneously and conscientiously do the proofreading work. He is a qualified assistant who is quiet and very perceptive.
Sang Zhixia rambled on for a long time, then yawned and rested her chin on her hand as she continued, "These things can only be started once we get to the place, so there's no rush right now."
"But let's not make any noise when we leave. We should try to keep a low profile, so as to avoid causing a big commotion, which is not good..."
When it comes down to it, the entire Xu family is still guilty.
You can't just forget about keeping a low profile because you've lived too comfortably in the Northwest for a few years.
If the news leaked out and people knew that the Xu family had left the place of exile without permission, it would not be a good thing.
Xu Yu placed the finished paper on the table, nodded, and patiently asked, "Is there anything else you need to add?"
Sang Zhixia blinked blankly: "I can't remember it for the time being, why?"
"If not, you should eat something and go to bed."
Xu Yu unconsciously took out the posture of coaxing a child, picked up Sang Zhixia and walked towards the house: "Zhizhi, be obedient."
"I'll have someone bring you some light porridge. Eat it and go to sleep."
"But……"
"You didn't sleep all night last night. Are you planning to sleep the whole time in the carriage?"
Xu Yu forcefully interrupted Sang Zhixia's hesitation. As Sang Zhixia stared at her, unable to laugh or cry, he waved at Diancui, who had come running over. "Go to the kitchen and get some food. Also, tell the old lady I'll be there in half an hour."
Because Xu Yu and Sang Zhixia had never left the North Courtyard, Xu Wenxiu and Madam Xie took good care of the children and did not let anyone come to disturb them.
But the food was always warm on the stove in the kitchen, waiting to be delivered when requested.
Xu Yu accompanied Sang Zhixia to eat something, ignored the slight struggle in Sang Zhixia's eyes, forced her onto the bed, leaned against the head of the bed with his clothes on, and watched over Sang Zhixia until she fell asleep before tiptoeing out of the bedroom.
In the east courtyard, Second Aunt Xu and Third Aunt Xu also came.
Because they were leaving the northwest, Second Aunt Xu's embroidery shop in the city and Third Aunt Xu's winery were urgently closing down.
Aunt Xu said with an indelible look of fatigue, "Thankfully, we were prepared. Although it was a bit rushed, we can still manage it."
"I've made all the arrangements. The embroidery shop will continue to operate as usual. Send me the account books and income once a year. I'll set up a new one there. With a little more effort, it won't take long to get it back to where it is now."
The embroidery shop was Aunt Xu's own business, and it was doing quite well from the beginning.
Later, Sang Zhixia opened up the key points of Shu and spared no expense to obtain all kinds of rare Shu embroidery materials, as well as a bunch of good things robbed from Peng Yuanliang to support him. In the north city, he won a good reputation with his exquisite craftsmanship and a variety of materials.
If it wasn't for having to, Aunt Xu really wouldn't be willing to give up such a big stall in such a prosperous scene.
Aunt Xu also sighed secretly: "Who said it wasn't?"
"Third Uncle Xu Yu and I have already discussed it. After we leave, we will continue to run the winery and the tavern in the city. However, we will have to ask the people at Xia Xia's manor to take care of them to avoid any problems."
The people in Sang Zhixia's hands are more loyal and reliable than the ones they have themselves, so it won't cause too much trouble if they are far away in the future.
only……
Aunt Xu said with a bit of amusement, "It's all our fault as elders. We took advantage of Xia Xia in the brewery and the tavern. Now that it's finally over, we still have to ask Xia Xia to help clean up the mess."
The winery was opened based on the craftsmanship taught by Sang Zhixia based on the recipes.
After Uncle Xu and his wife picked up this craft and opened a shop, although Uncle Xu made some money by trading in and out of the border, he was still basically in the winery.
Later, Sang Zhixia expanded into countless shops of all sizes, but none of them dealt in the wine business. No matter how much grain the winery needed, Sang Zhixia always had an extra portion reserved on his farm, which could be delivered at any time.
When it comes to brewing and selling wine, Sang Zhixia reserved a piece of cake exclusively for the people from the third room.
Aunt Xu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "You're not the only one taking advantage."
"Xu Yu and Xia Xia went to Shu, and since then, every three months they've brought me a batch of rare and fine fabrics. I've given all of this good stuff to my embroidery shop, and I've been picking it up for free."
"If Xia Xia wanted to open an embroidery and silk shop, with her skills, what would I have to do with it?"
But Sang Zhixia didn't keep any of the good stuff he got from everywhere for himself.
He opened many businesses of various kinds, but he didn't touch wine making or embroidery. He left a safe and pure land for the second and third branches of the Xu family in the huge network. Sang Zhixia never mentioned these things, but he did not reduce any of them.
Seeing the two of them talking and getting red-eyed, Xu Wenxiu was amused: "The child is promising, that means he is filial to you as an aunt. Just keep whatever you give him quietly. Why are you counting it in front of me like you are competing with each other?"
"Yu'er is a man with a big heart. He often thinks of things that you wouldn't normally think of. Xia Xia is much more considerate and considerate of her family. That's filial piety. Why is it worth you specifically mentioning it?"
Second Aunt Xu and Third Aunt Xu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Nuonuo, who was originally sitting in Aunt Xu's arms, tilted her head to look at the approaching person, whimpered excitedly and waved at Xu Yu, saliva bubbles coming out of her mouth, and she called out anxiously: "Diadia!"
"Dia-dia-wu!"
Little Yuanbao, who was sticking his butt out in Aunt Xu's arms, froze when he heard the noise. He turned around and saw that it was his father. He grabbed Aunt Xu's arm and shouted anxiously, "Bubble!"
"run!"
"Look at what you've done."
Aunt Xu hugged little Yuanbao, who buried his head in her arms, with a distressed look on her face. She said unhappily, "Whose child has started to imitate speech? The first one he calls is either daddy or mom."
"Look at your son, he starts talking about running away."
Xu Yu walked into the house and called everyone one by one. He held Nuonuo, who was grinning from ear to ear, and said without turning back: "Aunt San, that's not my fault. He's just not good at talking."
"Nuonuo knows how to call daddy, but he doesn't."
"Your daughter's name is Diadia."
Second Aunt Xu suppressed her disappointment as she looked at the little baby being held by Xu Yu. She said with a smile, "But I've heard Nuonuo and Yuanbao talk about more than just this. Have they been talking more frequently lately?"
"It's more than that."
Xu Wenxiu glared at Xu Yu, who had forcibly hugged Yuanbao, and gritted her teeth, "Yuanbao knows how to say 'hit, hit, run, no'. He can jump a few times if he has anything to do with running."
"Nuonuo can speak more clearly. She can say 'hug', 'eat', 'diao' and 'mother' clearly. She will occasionally say 'grandma' and 'grandma'. When she goes to the back mountain to see the tigers, she will also call 'bao'."
Unlike Xiao Yuanbao who loves to escape, Xiao Nuonuo's vocabulary is obviously the common expressions that a little kid should learn.
But thanks to Xu Yu's carelessness, Yuanbao often did not learn his lesson after being rubbed, and would rush over to be rubbed again. In the end, in order to protect himself, the little kid evolved this unique speech routine.
Xu Wenxiu originally wanted to say that instead of letting the child suffer, she should just snatch the ingot away.
Who would have thought that the little kid who was running and shouting the previous second was happily stepping on Xu Yu's legs. His heartless look made people laugh.
"Never mind, I'm just being nosy."
Maybe the father and son would like this kind of beating and rubbing.
Xu Wenxiu turned her head away, not wanting to look any further.
After Xu Yu had been teasing for a while, his arms became empty. Second Aunt Xu and Third Aunt Xu, who had successfully grabbed a doll each, smiled contentedly.
Second Aunt Xu said, "Everything is ready at the embroidery shop. We're just waiting for you to tell us to go."
"Your uncle has also made arrangements with the brewery and the caravan, so I don't think anything will go wrong."
Aunt Xu hesitated and said, "Besides what Xia Xia told us before, is there anything else we should pay attention to before we leave? If so, you'd better tell me as soon as possible."
We have to leave tomorrow, it will be too late later.
Xu Yu picked up a cloth and wiped the saliva from Yuanbao's mouth. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Now that everything is arranged, let's start moving one after another."
"Now?"
Xu Wenxiu was surprised and said, "Didn't you say tomorrow?"
