Chapter 174 I Don’t Want to Go Back
Chu Moyuan and Chu Linzhou went out to find Chu Tianlin.
He was borrowing paper and pen from the nurses' station to write a letter to the emperor.
I don’t know what I said, but the little nurse laughed so hard.
Chu Moyuan shook his head, walked over and patted Chu Tianlin's shoulder from behind, "Uncle, what are you doing again?"
Chu Tianlin glanced at him, said thank you to the nurse, then took a pen and paper and went to the rooftop outside.
After looking around and confirming that no one was here, he said, "I'm going to write a letter to your father to let him know you're safe and sound, and tell him how carefree and comfortable you two are living here. Also... I think this place is great, and I don't want to go back."
Chu Moyuan looked at him with a sneer on his face, which made Chu Tianlin feel creepy. "You little brat, why are you looking at me like that?"
"Haha, that last sentence is the purpose of your letter, right? If you're not going back, what are you doing here? Do you expect to eat for free?"
Chu Tianlin glared at him, his mouth still as vicious as ever, not as cute as Xiao Anan at all.
"This child, I thought you had changed, why are you still as unlovable as when you were little? I'm your uncle, what's wrong with eating for free?"
Chu Tianlin was probably the only one who could talk about freeloading so confidently. "This pen is quite useful."
Chu Tianlin was writing a letter while talking to himself, and he had no intention of listening to what Chu Moyuan said.
"Uncle, my seventh brother and I are discussing opening an auction house. We have so many antiques and treasures, and every time we ask others to sell them, they have to take a cut. It would be better to sell them ourselves. If you really don't want to go back, would you consider joining us?"
Chu Moyuan wants to develop Beichuan, so he certainly doesn't have the energy to focus on this. It would be best if he could pull Chu Tianlin along.
Chu Tianlin was very interested in this. "I'm good at this. I've participated in dozens of auctions, big and small. With your uncle's many years of collecting experience, it shouldn't be difficult for me to open an auction house."
"What are you doing here? Writing letters on the rooftop? Not planning on going back?"
After the visit, Xia Youan was ready to go back, but Chu Moyuan and Chu Linzhou were out looking for someone and had not returned yet.
The nurse said they were heading in this direction, but unexpectedly, several people came running to the rooftop.
When Xia Youan came up, he saw three people lying on the wall, looking into the distance.
When the three heard Xia Youan's voice, they all turned around.
Chu Moyuan's cold expression immediately turned into a bright smile. He walked over, took Xia Youan's hand and returned to the wall.
"The emperor's uncle said he doesn't want to go back. We are discussing what kind of work to arrange for him."
Xia Youan was hoping that they could stay. Chun'er was only thirteen years old. She had not been arranged to marry before due to health reasons. Once she recovered and returned to the capital, she would definitely be arranged to marry.
Chun'er is a girl, unlike Shan Ronghao and others, who are not afraid of what others say.
It’s different in modern times. After Chun’er is discharged from the hospital, she will be hired as a private tutor to help her cram on her elementary school knowledge. Once she recovers, she can be sent directly to junior high school.
"If you don't want to leave, then stay. There are so many houses that can accommodate you. But if you want to stay, you have to solve the identity problem first. Since you don't need the connections that Dad found for you last time, I can help my second brother and his family with them."
Chu Moyuan shook his head and refused.
"No matter what, this is illegal. Uncle has already helped a lot. Don't bother him again with this kind of thing. I'll ask Madam Song if she can help. She should have a very powerful network of connections."
Xia Youan felt that it didn't matter who he asked for help, as long as the problem could be solved.
"Then don't forget to tell me when you need anything. Which job do you plan to give to my second brother?"
Chu Linzhou then told Chu Tianlin about his plan to open an auction house and to get Chu Tianlin to join him.
"Sure, but I don't think it's going to work in a small place like ours. Have you considered expanding into Beijing? My father's old friend is a professor of archaeology at Beijing University. Most of the things you gave me were sold through him."
In Chu Moyuan's impression, such big guys are all men of integrity. How could they come just by inviting them?
"How could someone like this be interested in a small, unknown auction house like ours?"
Xia Youan's clever eyes flashed, and a devilish idea came to mind. "Of course he doesn't like it, but he has a daughter who he can recruit. Is he afraid that Professor Wang won't help his daughter?"
"Naughty, then when you have time, contact her and see if she's interested. If she is, set up a time to meet and discuss in detail."
Xia Youan nodded and said, "I will contact her tonight."
After returning to the ward, Xia Youan said goodbye to Chun'er and Lin Youzhen and went back. Aunt Wu will stay here tonight.
I also have to check on the embroidery shop in the evening, and the goods from the trade center must be replenished in time. The days of idleness are gone forever.
Returning to the palace, Xian Ling'er was in a bad mood and looked gloomy.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
After sighing three times in five minutes, Xia Youan couldn't bear it any longer. "Grandfather, can't you just say what you want to say? Why do you have to torture me like this?"
Xian Ling'er threw herself into Xia Youan's arms, but was pulled out by Chu Moyuan by the collar. "Ignore her. I just want you to keep her."
Xia Youan was puzzled, "Why keep her? She's leaving?"
Xian Ling'er came over again and said, "My grandfather is old and can't stand the climate here. He is preparing to return to Qingcheng Mountain and said he wants to take me with him."
After saying that, she pouted and looked at Xia Youan, as if waiting for her to keep him.
Chu Moyuan whispered something into Xia Youan's ear, and Xia Youan understood. Then he said to Xian Ling'er, "Oh, when are you leaving? I'll see you off."
Xian Ling'er looked at her in shock, "You won't even try to stop me?"
Xia Youan shrugged. "I don't want to separate you from your grandfather. After all, he's old. Are you willing to let him go back alone?"
Xian Ling'er stepped forward and grabbed Xia Youan's arm, "Just try it, just in case I can't bear to give it up."
"No need, just go back with your grandfather without worry. I will find someone to take over your job. Don't always make him angry when you go back."
Xian Ling'er angrily shook off Xia Youan's arm and ran away!
After Xian Ling'er left, Xia Youan looked at the transaction volume of the trade center in the past few days and found that heating supplies were selling very well and had to be replenished every day.
Qingying was serving on the side. She had been staying in Beichuan for the past few days and felt a little uncomfortable. It was true that it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
"Qingying, we have a lot of customers recently. I see that our products are selling very well, and we have even received pre-orders."
Speaking of this, Qingying found it a little funny, but she also had to admire these people.
"Miss Xia, there aren't many merchants here. Most of them are village heads. They're really smart. Since we don't sell goods in retail, they count the quantities by village, and then the village heads make all the purchases."
