The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 202 Going to the Capital

When Ye Xinran and Leng Qingyu were talking about their own progress, the color of Leng Qingyu's face changed slightly.

"Xinran, Jingzhi and I have already discussed the academy, and both children have passed the assessment, but they..."

Leng Qingyu seemed to want to say something but stopped.

Ye Xinran noticed something was wrong and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Leng Qingyu then said: "The children are still young, it is normal for them to like to dwell on certain things.

I have explained this to them many times these days, but Changan and Changping have always believed that you want to abandon them..."

Without Leng Qingyu saying more, Ye Xinran already understood what was going on.

No wonder Chang'an and Changping always looked hesitant to speak when they saw her these days.

It was all her fault for being careless for a moment. She only thought about business and forgot that the children also had their own ideas.

"I'll talk to them."

Ye Xinran said, "Children are all sensible. As long as you explain the truth clearly, they will understand."

After dinner, Ye Xinran called the two children to her room.

Changan has always been close to Ye Xinran and always acts like a spoiled child whenever they meet.

But today it was surprisingly quiet and no one rushed over to me immediately.

"Changan, Changping, both of you come here, what are you doing standing at the door!"

Ye Xinran waved at them.

The two children came over with their heads lowered. Chang'an's little hands were still twisting the hem of the clothes, making them wrinkled.

"How have you been studying these past two days? I heard from my grandmother that you all did very well in the examination at the academy."

Ye Xinran spoke in a gentle tone, and Changping finally raised his little face, "Thanks to Changan for helping me review."

"That's because you are smart enough!"

Ye Xinran scratched his nose, then took out two candies from her bosom and handed them to them, "Here, you study so well, auntie will reward you with candies!"

Chang'an looked at the candy in his hand. It was the same kind that Ye Xinran gave him when they first met.

Changan couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into tears: "Wow, aunt, please don't leave us, okay? Changan will be good. Changan doesn't want to eat candy. I'll leave all the candy for you."

Changping couldn't help crying when he saw his brother like this, "Aunt, we two will be obedient. Changping hasn't been filial to you yet, and doesn't want to be separated from you!"

Look, the two little guys are no longer holding back.

Ye Xinran also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who told you that your aunt is going to abandon you?

Didn't we agree on this before? Auntie should make money and you should study hard. Although Second Uncle is gone, we have to live better than before."

"But……"

Changan looked incredulous, "But they all said that my aunt is leaving the village."

"Yes!"

Ye Xinran said.

Chang'an and Changping looked at each other, as if to say, "It is indeed so."

"I am going to leave the village for a while, but leaving doesn't mean I won't come back!"

Ye Xinran continued, "Although you are still young, you should know that the world outside is vast. How can we be confined to a small piece of land like Yunbian Village?"

Changan tilted his head and asked, "Aunt wants to go out and take a look, and then come back. Aunt still wants us, right?"

"Yes!"

Ye Xinran touched the two people's heads.

"It's my fault for not telling you clearly in advance, causing you to worry for nothing."

"We are not afraid of worrying in vain!" Changping said.

"As long as Auntie still wants us, we are not afraid of anything!"

"Yes!" Chang'an finally stuck to Ye Xinran.

"As long as Auntie wants us, we can do anything."

Ye Xinran told her two children about her plan.

Chang An blinked and asked, "Aunt, are you saying that we should go and protect our grandmother?"

"almost!"

Ye Xinran said.

"Although your grandmother is also very powerful, as a daughter, I want to protect her safety."

"As children, we also want to protect our aunt's safety!"

Chang'an followed suit.

Ye Xinran smiled, "Auntie is going to be a wealthy woman in Daliang in the future, you have to be strong enough to protect me!"

"Uh-huh!"

The two children nodded in unison.

His eyes were full of sparkles.

……

Four days later.

Everything is ready.

The children were sent to the Wei Mansion, and Ye Xinran and Leng Qingyu finally set out on the journey to the capital.

There were five carriages in their group.

Ye Xinran and Leng Qingyu were sitting in a carriage.

Ding Qiao and other maids were sitting in a carriage.

Of the remaining three carriages, one was loaded with Leng Qingyu's personal belongings, and the other two were loaded with the facial cleansing soap and snow-whitening cream that Ye Xinran brought to the capital.

Li Mo is right.

Now that I'm in the capital, I should take the opportunity to study business matters.

After all, it is the place where the emperor lives and where princes and nobles gather.

It's time to develop the market.

Stop and go along the way.

Ye Xinran saw a lot of local customs and practices along the way.

From a geographical point of view, Yunbian Village is located in the northwest, while the capital is in the central part.

So the further the carriage went, the warmer the weather became.

I had to change the thick clothes I was already wearing into thinner ones.

They are not in a hurry and will stop to rest when they arrive in a larger town.

Ye Xinran finally witnessed the powerful strength of the Leng family. There are Leng family shops in almost all towns.

Silk shops and cloth shops, although the shops in each place are different, their signs are the same, all of which are "Lengji".

"Will it be too much to manage so many stores?" Ye Xinran asked.

“Will there be frequent cases like the one in Yuntong County, with bad debts?”

Leng Qingyu said: "When the business grows, some problems are inevitable. As long as the amount of bad debts is not high, we will not pursue it.

Moreover, the Leng family set rules from the very beginning, using the provincial capital as the boundary, and the people at the top must control the people below.

If anything happens to shops in the county towns and villages below, we will trace them up one level at a time and impose corresponding punishments.

In this way, we can mobilize some people’s sense of responsibility to a great extent.”

"So that's it!"

Ye Xinran nodded.

She also wanted to expand the facial soap business, but she had no experience and didn't know how to manage it.

It seems now that she still has a lot to learn from Leng Qingyu.

However, she thought of another question: "Are the shopkeepers of these shops hired locally or sent from the capital? Is anyone from the Lu family involved?"

She thought a lot about Leng Qingyu and Lu Tingen these days.

It is impossible that Lu Tingen has been pretending to deceive Leng Qingyu for so many years just for the expenses that Leng Qingyu gives to the family every month.

What exactly is his ambition?

What has he done over the years to achieve his ambition?
