It turned out that this little girl already knew. Lin Wanrong said, "Since you already know, why are you still asking me?"
"Lin San, you are so bad. How could you go to that kind of place?" The little girl looked at him and said sternly.
He really couldn't answer this question. He couldn't tell her that he went there to solve her physical needs. Wouldn't that be teaching a bad thing to a child?
"Hehe, well, you also know that it was Miss Qin Xian 'er who kindly invited us there. She appreciated the talent of my Young Cousin, so I had to follow the Young Master. "
"Humph, I heard it from my sister to my mother. But you can fool my sister, but you can't fool me. That Qin Xian definitely didn't appreciate my cousin, but you. Don't think that I don't know. "Xiao Yushuang gritted her teeth and said angrily.
"Alas, I didn't expect that in this Xiao Family compound, the one who understands me the most is this little girl." Lin Wanrong sighed in his heart. Here, besides Guo Wuchang, Xiao Yushuang was the one he interacted with the most. Although this girl was sometimes a little too unruly, overall, after his education, she had changed a lot. At least, she was not so willful in front of him.
"Lin San, is that Qin Xian 'er really beautiful?" Xiao Yushuang couldn't help but ask when she saw Lin Wanrong didn't answer for a long time.
"Yes, she is." Lin Wanrong nodded honestly.
"Is she as beautiful as me?" Xiao Yushuang said proudly with her chest out.
This Xiao Yushuang was indeed an extremely beautiful woman. Given time, she could even surpass Lady Xiao. However, she was still young, and she was still a little immature. With Lin Wanrong's age and experience, this girl was indeed too young. He would have to fatten her up in a few years before killing her.
"Is it because I can't compare to her?" Xiao Yushuang looked anxious as she pulled Lin Wanrong's arm and asked.
"No, you're still young and can't be compared to her. In a few years, when you grow up, you will definitely be more beautiful than her. "Lin Wanrong said.
Xiao Yushuang smiled like a flower. "Really?"
Seeing Xiao Yushuang's adorable expression, Lin Wanrong also felt a little happy in his heart. He nodded with a smile and said, "Definitely, definitely, definitely."
Xiao Yushuang snorted and said, "I knew it. How can a prostitute compare to me?"
Lin Wanrong frowned and said, "Second Miss, everyone has their own experiences. Don't look down on others. Although that Qin Xian 'er is a prostitute, she can still keep her chastity. Based on this alone, she is much better than others. " This little girl was born in a rich family. She was born with a sense of superiority. Otherwise, she wouldn't have teased her servants like that.
"I know." Xiao Yushuang stuck out her tongue and said, "I listen to everything you say."
"You listen to everything I say? Why? "Lin Wanrong asked curiously.
"Because you're good to me." Xiao Yushuang said matter-of-factly, "You're different from others. You don't cater to me, you dare to refute my words, and you even dare to hit me there —" Her face blushed and continued, "You can recite poems, paint, sing songs, and tell stories. I like it very much."
'F * ck, you'll probably like it better if there's a crosstalk comedian.' Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly.
"Lin San, you promised to help me draw a portrait yesterday. When can we start?" Xiao Yushuang asked with great interest.
"This — — I'll have to prepare the materials first." Lin Wanrong said. In fact, he didn't have much to prepare. The pencil that he made at the last minute was still with Qiaoqiao. He needed to go and get it.
Xiao Yushuang didn't know how he painted. She thought that he was like those painters who needed to prepare a lot of powder and ink, so she nodded obediently.
"Lin San, you're so capable. I wonder if you can help my family?" Xiao Yushuang suddenly sighed.
"Help? What kind of help? Second Miss, you must be joking. I'm just a small servant. What kind of ability can I have? "Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
Xiao Yushuang said softly, "I don't know why, Lin San. I always feel that you have this kind of ability. You have a lot of ideas, you're smart, and you're knowledgeable — —"
"Alright, alright. My face is turning red if you continue." Lin Wanrong said with a smile, "What is it that can make our Miss Xiao so worried?"
"I don't know very clearly. I only heard mother and sister talking about it. They always treat me as a child and don't want me to get involved. I occasionally heard a little. I heard that someone wants to form an alliance with our Xiao Family — — "Xiao Yushuang pouted. She was obviously dissatisfied with how her mother and sister looked down on her.
"Alliance?" Lin Wanrong was taken aback. Did the concept of alliance exist nowadays?
"Did you see that Prince Tao last night? He was the one who suggested that the three families should form an alliance. Other than our family, there's another family with the surname He. I don't know the specific situation. I only heard mother and sister talking about it. "
Lin Wanrong frowned. He knew that the biggest business of the Xiao Family was selling cloth and silk. Although there was a certain amount of profit in this business, it was a popular business. Even the rich could do it. Therefore, the competition was very fierce. The Xiao Family used to be the leader of this business. But in recent years, there were more and more families doing this business. Just in Jin Ling city, there were already a few families that were as big as the Xiao Family. The business was getting more and more difficult.
"What's going on with that Prince Tao? What's going on with the He family? "Lin Wanrong frowned and asked. He had seen this kind of alliance many times in his previous life. It was a very beneficial way of doing business. But this kind of alliance also had a lot of problems. For example, the problem of profit distribution, the problem of resource allocation. To put it bluntly, it was a double-edged sword. If it was done well, everyone could make money. If it was not done well, it would be a game of annexation.
"Prince Tao's family is doing the same business as us. In recent years, the scale has been expanding. Now, it has already surpassed our family. The He family's scale is also second only to our family. Our Xiao, Tao, and He family are the biggest cloth stores in Jin Ling city, Jiangsu province, and even the whole country. "
What's the background of that Tao Dongcheng? He's so young. How come his business is bigger than the Xiao Family in just a few years? Lin Wanrong was puzzled. He asked: "What's the background of that Prince Tao's family?"
Although Xiao Yushuang was young, she was born in an aristocratic family. She knew a lot of things. She nodded and said: "That Prince Tao's uncle is the assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He was my grandfather's student. His father is the Suzhou Weaving Company. "
Suzhou Weaving Company? No wonder. Lin Wanrong understood. This Tao Dongcheng's family had such power. It would be strange if he couldn't do business.
Jiangnan was the richest place in China. Since ancient times, there was a saying that Jiangnan was the richest place in the world. Other than agriculture, the most famous business in Jiangnan was the three Jiangnan paths. The so-called three Jiangnan paths were Yangzhou's salt path, Jin Ling's tea path, and Suzhou Weaving Company. These three were the most profitable businesses in Jiangnan. Prince Tao's father was in charge of the Suzhou Weaving Company. That was the source of all the cloth supplies. It was not strange that he could do such a big business.
After thinking through the ins and outs of this matter, he understood what Tao Dongcheng meant last night when he said that they would soon become one. With the Suzhou Weaving Company as the backing, this alliance was inevitable.
It was not convenient for Lin Wanrong to explain the stakes to Xiao Yushuang. He said, "These things should be left to the Grand Mistress and Madam to worry about. It's useless for you to think too much."
Xiao Yushuang frowned and said, "But I see that mother and sister are worried. They don't seem to have made up their minds. They don't know if they should join forces or not. I am their relative. Of course, I want to share their worries. But I can't help at all. Am I very useless? "
Lin Wanrong listened to the little girl's worries and was a little moved. He smiled and comforted her, "Second Miss, I can understand your feelings. But you are still young. You don't have the ability to help them. What you should do now is to make yourself happy so they don't have to worry about you. "
Xiao Yushuang let out a soft grunt before curling her lips and saying, "But I'm not completely useless. At the very least, I can still attract talents. Lin San, since you're so capable, why don't you help out my mother and sister?"
Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said, "Second Miss, you think too highly of me. I am just a servant. How can I intervene in such an important matter? "
Xiao Yushuang shook her head and said, "Lin San, in my eyes, you are the most capable person. Even my sister praised you last night."
"Grand Mistress praised me?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely. I am lucky that she didn't beat me to death.
Xiao Yushuang said embarrassedly, "Last night, my sister came to my room to talk to me. She saw that booklet. She looked at the portrait you drew for her. She was in a daze for a long time. She said that she had never seen your painting technique before. She said that you have the talent of a great master."
"That can't be right?" Lin Wanrong said, "Didn't you promise me to keep it a secret?"
Xiao Yushuang hurriedly explained, "Don't worry. I remember what you said. I only said that I found the booklet. I don't know who drew the painting. Later, my sister took the booklet away."
Seeing Xiao Yushuang's wronged face, he knew that it was difficult for her to lie in front of her sister. He didn't have the heart to blame her. He just said, "Don't worry. I don't blame you." He just didn't know what would happen if the booklet fell into the hands of the Grand Mistress.
"Lin San, can you help my sister? I am begging you." Xiao Yushuang pulled Lin Wanrong's arm and begged.
She said it so many times. Lin Wanrong helplessly said, "Well, I will think about it. I will tell you when I think of a way."
Xiao Yushuang smiled through her tears and said, "Lin San, I know you are the best. Come to my room tonight!"
"What?" Lin Wanrong was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.
