Miss Ming's name was Ming Siyu. Because she was born on the road, her nickname was Lu Lu. Later, Mrs. Xiao thought Lu Lu was not good, so he changed her name to Lulu. Speaking of which, she can be considered half of Master Xiao's apprentice.
Although Miss Ming learned some saintly ways from Old Master Xiao, she doesn't know anything about female celebrities. However, she is as talented as her mother in business. Miss Ming is not only a businessman, she is also a well-known businessman.
"Lulu, I heard that you have made a lot of money recently. How about it? When are you going to invite Uncle Xiao to have some of the wine you made yourself?" Old Master Xiao saw Miss Ming settling accounts on the counter from a distance and smiled. quipped.
It turns out that this Ming girl is in the business of making and selling wine. To say that her wine shop is prosperous, it is not in a market town, but on a roadside with more pedestrians.
However, people with knowledge still know that Miss Ming's wine shop already has a branch in the town, which was recently opened.
"Oh, Uncle Xiao, why are you here? Come and sit down. I'll ask Lao Yan to cook some dishes and give you a taste of our newly made Shao Knife."
"It's such a coincidence that it's better to come sooner than later. Old man, I just got greedy and had a drink. Our Lulu loves me the most."
"If you don't love Uncle Xiao, who will? Lulu, you are the only one left in this life." Miss Ming's eyes turned red when she said this.
Old Master Xiao knew that the child missed her father. His Xiao family and Ming family were family friends for three generations starting from his grandfather. She had originally made an agreement with her father to marry her son and daughter, and they were all planning to hold a wedding. Unexpectedly, her father passed away suddenly, which delayed the wedding. This delay caused Ming, who had no good impression of Xiao Wuwang, to begin with. Siyu was even more unwilling to marry Xiao Wuwang.
"Hey... Lulu, how can you say this? You are so young, so handsome, and you want to find me a good son-in-law and give birth to a lot of grandsons and granddaughters. Then you won't hurt the old man anymore." .”
"Uncle Xiao... why are you saying these things again?" Miss Ming lowered her head and looked embarrassed, but it only showed her exquisite charm.
Look carefully, this girl is about 20 years old, with bright black hair tied into several braids hanging down to her waist, a pair of golden phoenix triangular eyes, two curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of pink-faced peach blossom cheeks. , a pair of small cherry lips, a body like a swallow dancing on a green lotus, and a body like a phoenix perching on the bright moon, carrying a beauty that is one in a million.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about your business. I heard that your business has become more and more prosperous recently. Can you tell me the secret of this?"
"Oh, Uncle Xiao, do you really not know or are you pretending not to know?"
"Let me guess... Guanghua Temple?"
"Well, not bad. Because of the temple fair there, a lot of people came to our area. Some people tasted my wine and thought it was good, so they made it for me to sell for free. There was also a member of staff who bought it all at once. A hundred altars." Miss Ming said happily as she invited Old Master Xiao into the backyard.
"One hundred altars? Who is this? You need so many at once."
"It's a place called Luo Guizhuang, not far from our place. The owner's surname seems to be Chen." In the back room, Miss Ming came closer and said to Old Master Xiao with a smile.
"Luo Guizhuang? Oh, I remembered. The previous family's surname was Luo. Later, the family suddenly declined and they were forced to sell the house. So, this member of the family named Chen is the owner of the house?"
"It seems so, but I haven't found out his origin yet. But none of this is important to me. I just want to know that he is my major customer."
"That's right, Lulu is doing business. You only need to know so much to do business." Old Master Xiao felt a little disappointed. He had a vague suspicion that the Ming family was also related to the secrets they guarded by the Xiao family. He once asked Ming Siyu's My father tried in a roundabout way, but got no response. However, when Ming Siyu's father was still alive, he would always provide him with some information he wanted, except for the information he wanted to know.
"However, I do know another interesting thing. I wonder if Uncle Xiao is interested in knowing it?" Miss Ming looked at Old Master Xiao meaningfully and said, just like when her father provided information.
Old Master Xiao was nervous at the look in her eyes. Did she do it on purpose? "Haha... tell me, let my old man see it."
"Among those who went to Guanghua Temple last time, many of them did not come out, and there is still no news about them." In fact, she knew that those who did not come out should have died inside. She had actually gone in. , but stopped halfway, and later came out early.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? How did you know?"
"Didn't you go to the Buddhist meeting that day? Let me tell you, the Jade Buddha is really amazing..." Ming Siyu kept talking about what she saw that day, as if she suddenly turned into a farm girl.
Old Master Xiao listened to this absently, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Have you seen Monk Huicheng in the temple that day?"
"I've seen it before. He is the one who presides over the Buddhist meeting."
"Really? Tell me about his hosting." Old Master Xiao actually wanted to know whether Huicheng showed the treasure map at the Buddhist meeting.
However, Ming Siyu's story disappointed him again. According to her description, Huicheng showed nothing at all that day, except for the jade Buddha.
Old Master Xiao fell into deep thought. If this was the case, he would definitely not be able to get the treasure map back, and he would not be able to defeat them. The key is that I don’t know who I can trust at the moment. Did His Majesty Emperor Xu really leave such a secret to his father, a frail scholar, to protect it alone? Are there really no other clues? If this is really the case, and I am old and sick, fighting alone, without even my son supporting me, and not knowing everything about my opponent, can I still keep this secret? In fact, this secret is the treasure map. If the treasure map is gone, what secret is left? However, I lost the treasure map, and I must find it back so that I can live up to my father's teachings. Mr. Xiao has always held on to this belief. He decided to go all out and give it a try.
"Lulu, did your father say anything before his death... or before his death? Something... that you must remember?"
Ming Siyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Why does Uncle Xiao ask this?"
Old Master Xiao looked seriously into Ming Siyu's eyes, "If there is, I hope you can tell me truthfully, because your Uncle Xiao is facing a big trouble now."
Ming Siyu thought for a while and said: "If Uncle Xiao has any trouble that needs Lulu's help, Lulu will definitely help, but Lulu doesn't understand, what does this have to do with her father's last words?" She was actually saying this euphemistically. My father had his last words.
"Lulu, did you know that your grandfather and my father were brothers?" This is what Old Master Xiao heard from his father himself.
"Uh... I've never heard of this. I only know that Uncle Xiao's family and mine are family friends."
"What I said is true. My father told me personally that he and your grandfather once served together in the palace of Emperor Tianwan Xu Shouhui. He controlled Yi Wenwen, and your grandfather was the steward of the imperial kitchen."
Speaking of Xu Shouhui, Ming Siyu was finally moved. "So that's the case, then why did they settle here together?" This was tantamount to admitting that he was also a guardian of secrets, which immediately made Mr. Xiao very excited.
"Because they are all guarding a secret for His Majesty Emperor Xu. The secret of our Xiao family is a picture, and there is a sentence that needs to be passed down from generation to generation: 'Keeping the foundation of loyalty and trust, and practicing filial piety will not save the people of Li. At the last resort, you must not open it privately.'" Old Master Xiao decided to fully trust Miss Ming and tell her this secret that was already facing crisis.
Ming Siyu was not very surprised after hearing this, but seemed to have finally made up his mind and said: "Okay, Uncle Xiao, I also tell you that my father once warned me before his death that I must abide by His Majesty Emperor Xu's orders from generation to generation. I make Shaodaozi wine here as my business, and I don’t forget to accumulate my fortune in order to wait for the destined person.”
Old Master Xiao was overjoyed, but he didn't expect that his guess was right. In this way, you will have more strength. As far as he knew, although Miss Ming made wine and sold wine, she actually inherited her leadership prestige and foundation from her mother. She had a group of loyal and capable clerks available in her winery and wine shop, whose strength Not to be underestimated in this area. You know, this Shaodaozi wine was not to everyone's taste in the local area in the past. Only a few people liked to drink it. If you rely on this business alone, you cannot support people. Therefore, Miss Ming's mother developed a variety of businesses, especially old rice wine, which also sold considerable sales. What he didn't know was that her mother was not only running the wine business, but also the intelligence business. Of course, this business was inherited by Ming Siyu. Not only did she inherit it, she also improved Shaodaozi Liquor, which instantly improved The sales volume has increased, and if nothing happens, she will be a rich little woman in a few years.
