Chapter 56 Children can be taught
After returning to Zhou's house, Zhou Ling took Xu Shuhe to her mother Lin Hui.

What happened today is always reported to the family.

Seeing that the young master of the Xue family is not an easy person to deal with, they had better keep it a secret in case he causes trouble for the family in the future.

After listening to the two people's story about what happened today, Lin Hui frowned tightly.

"This Marquis Cheng'en not only has the title passed down from his ancestors, but now he is also the Minister of Works. He is a powerful nobleman. His legitimate daughter, Xue Yi, the second son of the Xue family, entered the East Palace last year and became the prince's concubine. His family is very prosperous, but Xue Yi is a very bad person. He bullies men and women and has bad behavior. He is a well-known playboy in the capital."

Having said that, Lin Hui looked at Zhou Ling with concern, then continued.

"Although our family is wealthy, we have no connections in the officialdom. If this guy really sets his sights on us, it will be difficult to deal with him. He has always been overbearing. Earlier this year, he took a fancy to the youngest daughter of Mr. Sun from Hengyu Commercial Bank and used dirty tricks to force her into his mansion as a concubine. Poor Miss Sun, she died less than three months after entering the Cheng'en Marquis's mansion."

After hearing what her mother said, Zhou Ling felt scared and angry.

"He is such a beast. If the Fifth Prince hadn't intervened, my cousin's wife and I would be in danger right now. My cousin's wife paid him money for this man. He clearly deserves it!"

"Your cousin-in-law was right to compensate him for the money for the hairpin." Lin Hui corrected, "Xue Yi kept accusing you two of damaging his property and wanted to take you to the government. Now, in front of the Fifth Prince's men, your cousin-in-law compensated him with the money, and he accepted it. He has no excuse to get angry again in the future. If he comes to make trouble again, he will be in the wrong."

Seeing that his aunt understood what he meant, Xu Shuhe spoke at the appropriate time.

"Yes, that's what I was thinking. I wanted to borrow the power of the Fifth Prince. But today Xue Yi came for Sister Ling'er, but he didn't get what he wanted. I'm afraid he's thinking of making trouble. My husband and I don't have much friendship with the Fifth Prince. It's okay today, but I'm afraid we won't be able to rely on him in the future. Just in case, we still have to be on guard."

Lin Hui nodded slightly, "Let me discuss this matter with your uncle. Don't tell the old lady for now, so as not to alarm her."

Zhou Ling and Xu Shuhe nodded, then went their separate ways.

It was time for dinner when Chen Zhicai came back.

As soon as he entered the door, he looked energetic. He sat down and drank half a cup of tea. Then he began to tell Xu Shuhe how much he had learned outside with his uncle today.

"No wonder my uncle was able to take over the business from my grandfather and expand it to the capital. Compared to my uncle, my father is really much worse. I am even worse. Whether it is vision or management skills, my uncle is more capable!"

Xu Shuhe could understand his condition very well.

When Lin Hui took her to visit shops in Qizhou for a few days and gave her some pointers, she was excited about having gained a lot.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuhe silently summoned the system in his heart and looked at the numbers.

No growth yet.

However, Xu Shuhe had a hunch that Chen Zhi would make great progress this time after returning to the capital.

His uncle Zhou Yiqing teaches him sincerely, and he is willing to study hard, so he will definitely gain something.

But putting aside this business, there was another important matter to discuss with Chen Zhi right now, so after responding to Chen Zhi a few words, Xu Shuhe took the initiative to tell him about what happened to him and Zhou Ling outside today.

Chen Zhi immediately became nervous after hearing this, "So you two weren't hurt, were you? I was planning to tell you about the Fifth Prince today. Today I asked my uncle and found out that the Fifth Prince is named Zhao Yuci. His mother's surname is Gao. Many years ago, she was convicted and her family was confiscated. The Fifth Prince was young and was raised by Concubine Wen in the palace. Because of his biological mother and because Concubine Wen was not favored, the Fifth Prince was not favored by the Emperor in the court."

"So the Fifth Prince went to Qizhou to investigate a case, and to conceal his identity, he used his mother's surname." Xu Shuhe said in a deep voice, "Then the information you got from your second brother must have helped the Fifth Prince solve the case, so today the Fifth Prince, thinking of that contribution, helped me out." Chen Zhi nodded, "I think that's the reason."

Then he looked at Xu Shuhe, looking her up and down, as if to confirm that she was really not injured.

"As long as you and your cousin are fine, it's safer for you to stay in the mansion for the next few days. We will return to Qizhou after a while."

"My uncle must be worried about this as well. The young master of Marquis Cheng'en's Mansion is not someone he is easy to deal with. I'm afraid he will let us go today and come back to harass us another day." Xu Shuhe said worriedly.

Chen Zhi pursed his lips, "This is indeed a problem. I'll ask my uncle for his opinion tomorrow and see if I can help."

This was the only way to handle the matter right now, so Xu Shuhe nodded.

Then Xu Shuhe told Chen Zhi another story.

"I would like to invite two masters from Kyoto to Qizhou."

"Master?" Chen Zhi was puzzled, but still said, "Please tell me in detail."

Xu Shuhe said, "Today, my sister Ling'er and I visited many shops in Kyoto and found that the fashionable things in Kyoto are more varied and exquisite than those in Qizhou City, and some things are even cheaper. The reason why Yunshang Pavilion reopened and its business was booming was because we launched a batch of new styles of goods. But I am not a specialist in this after all. I can only please people for a while, but my inspiration will run out soon. I still have to find a serious master to design new styles."

This made sense, and Chen Zhi listened carefully, motioning for her to continue.

"In addition, I want to hire a master to make rouge and powder. The skills of the masters in our rouge shop are limited. They can't compare with those masters in the capital. If the quality of the products is not improved, how can we sell them at a higher price and how can the business be good?" Xu Shuhe analyzed.

After hearing this, Chen Zhi also nodded, "Indeed, I followed my uncle to see a lot in Zhou's shop today. Many things in Beijing are indeed better and more exquisite than those in Qizhou. However, I don't think we can catch up by bringing one or two good masters back to Qizhou. I think the guys in the shop need training."

Chen Zhi learned the word "training" from a book handwritten to him by Xu Shuhe, and he put it to good use now.

"You say." Xu Shuhe looked at him expectantly, feeling quite relieved.

Chen Zhi faced her gaze, feeling a little embarrassed, but he quickly expressed his thoughts.

He really read carefully what Xu Shuhe wrote, and even extended his own views and insights, which are more substantial and thoughtful than the titles written by Xu Shuhe in a few words.

Hearing Xu Shuhe nodding repeatedly, he wanted to give him an outstanding student award.

Children can be taught.

"What do you think?" After Chen Zhi finished speaking, he still asked for her opinion.

Xu Shuhe immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "Great, just do it according to your idea, I support you!"

This trust and praise made Chen Zhi feel as if he had eaten a piece of honey in his heart. He couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, then nodded and said softly.

"it is good."
