Chapter 137

Didn't sleep all night, just slept for less than two hours.Seeing Mu Jiaojiao sleeping soundly now, Cui Pu couldn't help but sleep on his head, at first he just tried to let his head nod, but then he fell asleep at the head of the bed unknowingly.

Later, he still heard footsteps coming, he opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Xiao Wuer rushing in. "Lang Jun, the master and wife are here!"

Cui Pu was shocked immediately—couldn't it be that those two came to the door because they heard about his quarreling and wanting to divorce his wife?

The little boy felt weak again, he hurriedly glanced at Mu Jiaojiao on the bed, and found that she was still asleep, so he collected himself, put down the curtain, and asked in a low voice, "Where are they now?"

"Go to the old lady's place to say hello, and she should be here in a while."

"Then I'd better meet them!" Cui Pu nodded.At least in front of his elders, he doesn't believe that Mu Jiaojiao's father who loves his daughters like his life can get angry at him in public!At any rate, they have to see the face of the Cui family, don't they?
He quickly straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror, and he hurried out with big strides.

Arriving near Mrs. Cui's courtyard, I saw Mu You and Gong Shi both walking out of it.Accompanying them were Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Zheng.

Cui Pu hurried forward to salute.Mu You and Gong Shi returned the courtesy without mentioning it.

In the end, Mu You turned his gaze to Cui Pu: "My son-in-law, you came at a good time. I came here today because I have a few words to say to you."

Cui Pu was stunned, and quickly bowed his head: "What lesson does my father-in-law teach, my son-in-law is all ears."

Mrs. Cui also said: "Liulang, it's rare for your father-in-law to come to our house once, so you must settle him down."

"I understand, Ma'am, please don't worry." Cui Pu agreed straightforwardly, but secretly complained in his heart—if this person really came to support his daughter, what should he do?Scold him?Or a beating?If this can calm the anger of the father-in-law, then he will admit it.Just be afraid, my father-in-law refuses!
Mrs. Cui was very satisfied with his response, so she and Mrs. Zheng took Mrs. Gong to the backyard.Cui Pu bowed his hands to Mu You: "Father-in-law, please come with son-in-law."

Mu You nodded, and the two walked back together, Mu You suddenly asked: "Where is Liu Niangzi now?"

"Oh, she's not feeling well today, and she's resting." Cui Pu's heart skipped a beat again!Respond quickly.

"Are you still resting?" Mu You nodded, "That's right. Did her sickness scare you last night?"

Cui Pu was taken aback again—could it be that this person didn't come looking for trouble?
Mu You turned to look at him, eyes full of guilt: "We should have told you this earlier, but out of selfishness, I have kept the matter a secret until now, and it is our fault. You didn't publicize the matter, It can be seen that he is also a real gentleman. Your great kindness and virtue are always in my heart. At the beginning, Liu Niangzi thanked you for insisting on choosing you as her husband. In fact, I was not happy at first. But now it seems that she really chose the right one. You are worthy of her lifelong entrustment!"

Cui Pu was dumbfounded.

How did things get to this point?He is obviously ready to be scolded bloody, and he is always ready to kneel down and swear to the sky that if his father-in-law gets angry, he will treat Mu Jiaojiao well in the future and never do such stupid things again. .But why... the father-in-law didn't say a word about this matter, but he praised him again and again?

Although the phrase 'I was not happy to let you be Liu Niangzi's husband-in-law' made him feel a little hurt, but has he been hurt less since he was a child?The lethality of this sentence is not too great.On the contrary, Mu You's sentence "you are worthy of her entrustment for life" shocked him severely again.

"Father-in-law, this..." How did you see that I was worth entrusting to you for life?He really wanted to ask this question.After living for so many years, this was the first time someone praised him so much.

While talking, the two of them had already stepped into the courtyard gate.The two sat down in the main hall, and Mu You took out a few thin sheets of paper from his sleeve pocket and pushed them over. "Here are the land deeds for several new pharmacies I opened, now my son-in-law, you take it first!"

Cui Pu took it over and took a look, and found that there were two shops, one was on the side of Zhuque Street. It was a good place where every inch of land was expensive. Although the place was not big, it would cost at least a thousand guan to buy it.The other is near the West Market, the place is more spacious, but the asking price is only five or six hundred guan.In addition, there are several body deeds, all of which have turned yellow, which shows that these people should have been with Mu You for many years.

Cui Pu was puzzled. "Father-in-law, what is this?"

"The last time Liu Niangzi came back home, didn't she tell me that she wanted to make medicine and sell it to the families of dignitaries? I chose these two places in Chang'an City, one is specially for dignitaries and dignitaries, and the other One is for the common people to supply medicine. I have already chosen the shopkeeper and clerk of the shop. Originally, this matter should be handled by myself, but I will go to Persia soon to see a batch of glassware and blankets, etc. , I have no time to take care of these. I don't have any reliable brothers in my family, and Eleven Lang is young, so I can only entrust this matter to you now." Mu You said slowly.

Cui Pu immediately felt that the papers in his hands became heavy.

He quickly returned the paper. "Father-in-law, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to entrust such an important matter to me?"

"It is indeed something wrong. You are the gentleman of a rich family, how can you get this vulgar thing? It's just that this matter was brought up by Liu Niangzi, and there are many things that need to be discussed with her later. I After thinking about it, you are the only person closest to her now, so I thought, I will work hard for a year and build the shop together with her. When I come back from Persia, I will take this burden again. Take it back. As for the things in the shop and those running outside, you don't have to worry about it, I have arranged it all. This shop is jointly opened with the Huang family, and they will do everything outside. Unless it is a big event, he will I won't bother you. If you want to contact, you only need to contact the master of the Huang family." Mu You said hurriedly.

That is to say, he just needs to sit at home and listen to the news, and then wait for the money to be collected?Father-in-law is not asking him for help, he is clearly giving him money!
Cui Pu became more restless. "Father-in-law, what you said is reasonable. But I am an outsider after all..."

"You are Liu Niangzi's husband-in-law, and you are the son-in-law of my Mu family. How can you be an outsider?" Mu You hurriedly said, and then lowered his voice, "Still, Mr. Liulang, you still despise this vulgar job and don't want to take over?"

What right does he have to be disgusted with?He has lived for so many years and has achieved nothing until now.The only one or two times when he got the limelight was Mu Jiaojiao.It is said in this noble circle that businessmen are disgusted and vulgar, but in fact, none of them has any property in private?Without money, who can spend their days and drinks in a chic way?Just like him, he relies on the little monthly money from the family every month, and before the end of the month, his money is empty, so he can only lick his face and go to other people's places to eat and drink, and he doesn't know how many times he was laughed at.The two shops that Mu You recommended to him in front of him are a huge source of wealth.As long as a little bit leaks into his hand, then he can eat it forever!

And looking at Mu You's performance now, it's clear that he meant to use it as he pleases!

The richest man in Chang'an is the richest man in Chang'an, and this move is extraordinary.He just sat with Mu Jiaojiao all night last night, and he got such a big benefit!
Faced with such a precious piece of property, it is impossible not to be moved.

Cui Pu took a deep breath, and with difficulty moved his gaze away from above. "Father-in-law, it's really not that my son-in-law doesn't want to help. It's that my son-in-law doesn't know anything about business. You just handed over the shop to me rashly. If there is something good or bad, what should I do?"

"Isn't there still Liu Niangzi here? If there is anything you don't understand, just ask her. If you and your husband get along well and discuss things together, you will definitely be able to make the shop better and better." His tone was much more tactful. , Mu You quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Why do people outside think that their relationship is very good now?Cui Pu was helpless.Obviously they had a fight a few days ago, but they just managed to reconcile this morning!

It's just that in front of his father-in-law, he dare not say such words.He hesitated and wanted to say a few more words of refusal to dispel the idea of ​​Mu You, but Mu Jiaojiao suddenly appeared.

"Since Dad has this idea, Liulang, you should agree! It's just one or two shops. It's good if it's done well. If it's not done well, the money is nothing. It's a big deal to wait for Dad to come back. Just open one."

Cui Pu stood up quickly. "Why are you up?"

Not wanting Mu You to react faster than him, this person rushed over in one stride. "Jiaojiao, how do you feel now? Did you feel uncomfortable last night? If you still feel uncomfortable, go back and lie down! I've almost finished talking to my son-in-law, so I don't need you to bother me here."

Cui Pu nodded repeatedly.That's right, go back and lie down quickly, don't let your father-in-law know about my arguing to divorce my wife!
But Mu Jiaojiao walked over slowly, and sat down beside him softly. "It's rare for my father and mother to come to see my daughter, how can I not come to see her? What's more, once you leave this time, we won't be able to see each other for another year."

Mu You sighed. "Business is like this. Traveling all over the year, there is no time for you to stop. But now, at least you are married, and your husband's family treats you well, and I have settled one of my worries, and I can feel more at ease outside."

"You can rest assured about this father. Liulang and aunts and uncles, brothers and sisters-in-law are all very good to me." Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Hearing her say such a sentence, Cui Pu quickly let out a sigh of relief.

Mu You also breathed a sigh of relief, and pushed the land deed together with the body deed. "In this case, you can accept these things! By the way, I have one more thing for you." As he spoke, he took out another small purse and handed it to Mu Jiaojiao, "This is what I went to Da Ci'en Temple yesterday for The amulet you asked for, if you wear it on your body in the future, you can treat it as if you are daddy by your side!"

"Yes, I understand." Mu Jiaojiao quickly took the purse with both hands, and hung it carefully on her body.

After finishing the work here, Mu You didn't stay long, and said: "Okay, I know you are busy, and I still have a lot of things to arrange, so I won't stay here any longer. I'll pick you up, Auntie, and then we I went back."

"I may not have seen A-niang for a long time, let me pick up A-niang!" Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Mu You hesitated, but still nodded. "Put on more clothes, don't let the wind blow outside."

"Father, don't worry, it won't happen." Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, and hurriedly asked someone to bring her the cloak.

The three of them left the yard together, Mu You went to wait at the second gate, while Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu went to Mrs. Cui's side.

Walking on the road, Cui Pu still felt that the few land deeds and body deeds he carried in his arms made him uncomfortable. "You really decided to take over these things?"

"Father has already delivered it, you just follow it. If you feel that you can't control it, then leave it to Auntie!" Mu Jiaojiao said indifferently.

When Cui Pu heard this, he finally understood—it turned out that sending him off was not called sending him off, but giving it to the Cui family through his hand!It is not appropriate to put such a shop in the hands of a small businessman like Mu You.Only by hanging under the name of the Cui family can it stand firm.Even if it develops and grows in the future, it doesn't dare to give birth to the slightest covetous heart.

He just said, when did my father-in-law look down on him so much!

Cui Pu's mood suddenly dropped a lot.

Seeing Mu Jiaojiao, she just smiled helplessly.

The two of them came to the gate of Mrs. Cui's courtyard slowly, when they heard a commotion coming from inside.After listening carefully, the corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips curled into a sneer—Ms. Gong, her good aunt, she made a fool of herself when she first came to Cui's house.
