Being a Lady of an Influential Family

When Fu Fengcheng and others who went to visit the Great Elder came back, Leng Sa and others got up and went back to the room to rest.

The place where they live is in a small building at the back, just a few steps away.

After returning to the room, washing up and changing clothes, Leng Sa lay lazily on the bed and looked at Fu Fengcheng who came out of the bathroom, "How is the elder?"

Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly and said, "It's not very good, I'm afraid it won't last for a few days." Shen Chong was not lying when he said that if they came a few days later, they might not see the Great Elder.

The elder is old and has been sick since last year, so it is not easy to survive until now.

Walking to the edge of the bed and sitting down, Fu Fengcheng reached out and pulled Leng Sa up, touched her damp hair and frowned. Turning around, she took the towel that she randomly threw on the bedside table, wrapped it around her hair and rubbed it gently.

"Don't keep your hair wet all the time, or you'll get a headache in the future." Fu Fengcheng warned.

Leng Sa leaned comfortably on his lap and said, "You still talk about me, are you still the same?" Fu Dashao was sometimes rougher than her, and after washing his hair, he rubbed it with a towel twice without dripping and it was over.

Fu Fengcheng said, "I have short hair, so I work fast."

Leng Sa opened her eyes and glanced at his hair, a little ready to move, "Then I'll cut my hair short too."

"No." First Young Master Fu flatly refused, Leng Sa narrowed her eyes slightly, and said displeasedly, "No?"

Fu Fengcheng lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead and said, "Madam looks better with long hair."

Leng Sa said: "It's very troublesome." Master Leng had short hair in his previous life, except for those she couldn't win and couldn't fight, who would dare to say that she was not good-looking?

Fu Fengcheng said, "I'll help Madam wipe her hair." Seeing his serious face, Master Leng could only reluctantly say, "Seeing how sincere you are, then... okay."

Fu Fengcheng chuckled, "Good boy."

"..." Good girl.

The two chatted while wiping their hair, and Leng Sa talked about Chu Miao.

Fu Fengcheng was a little surprised, "Madam likes that child?"

He knew that his wife was very interested in God's Blessing Island, but he didn't expect to really fall in love with that child.

Although Leng Sa usually likes children, in Fu Fengcheng's view, that kind of liking is no different from liking for beautiful and well-behaved kittens and puppies. It's just that I can reach out, touch, hug and even kiss, but if I really want her to raise her, I'm afraid it will be troublesome.

Leng Sa nodded and said, "I like it very much. This little girl will look like a stunning little beauty in the future, and she is also smart and cute."

Fu Fengcheng frowned and thought for a while, "Madam, do you want to bring her back to Yongcheng?"

Leng Sa was also taken aback, touched his hair that was almost dry, sat up and looked at him, "Even if Shenyou Island is taken over by An Xia, Chu Miao should inherit a lot of private property, won't it be troublesome? "

The main issue was money. If the Fu family wanted Chu Miao's custody, others would inevitably suspect that the Fu family coveted Chu Miao's property.

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, the Chu family does have a lot of property, but the previous head of the Chu family made a proper plan with the elder before his death."

Leng Sa was a little curious, "How did you plan it?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "The Chu family will take half of the gold accumulated in these years and distribute it to all those who have worked for the Chu family in these years. In addition, the residents of the entire Shenbless Island will be exempted from tax within one year of the official takeover. Except for this mansion, all the properties of Shenyou Island are donated to the country. The overseas properties are managed by people from the Chu family, and they will not take over until Chu Miao is 20 years old, but the cabinet will send people to check the accounts every year. All the accumulated things, except Chu Miao’s own frequently used ones, are all recorded in the book and deposited in Anxia Bank, and Chu Miao can take it out and dispose of it by himself when he is eighteen.”

Leng Sa thought for a while and nodded, "That's not bad. Having an official audit can also prevent people from filling their own pockets."

In fact, there are still many omissions, but the Chu family obviously understands the principle of protecting the big and letting go of the small. That's fine, if the Chu family really didn't leak anything, Anxia officials would not be greedy for these things even if it was for the sake of the country's dignity, but the people on God's Blessing Island would probably not be happy.

The human heart is always greedy.

Fu Fengcheng said, "Actually, the former Patriarch and Great Elder of the Chu family wanted to sell all their properties and exchange them for cash and deposit them in the bank. After all...Chu Miao is a girl, and she doesn't necessarily like doing business when she grows up. If she wants to start a business in the future, she can start over with a lot of money."

Leng Sa was a little surprised, "Then why..."

Fu Fengcheng shook his head and said, "Such a large amount of cash is more troublesome than those industries. Those industries are abroad, and the Chu family will naturally choose someone they trust to be responsible. Changxiu is well-informed, and will notify us if there are any major problems. Chu Miao is only ten years away from adulthood, and nothing major will happen. Even if you want to sell it, you can wait until Chu Miao can decide for himself in the future."

Leng Sa thought about it for a while, and it seems to be the same reason. It is self-evident that the industry that is far away overseas and is not easy to realize, and a huge amount of wealth, is more likely to attract people to take risks.

"So the Chu family has already discussed it? Then we can go back as long as the handover is completed?" Leng Sa said.

Fu Fengcheng said: "It stands to reason so."

They only need to hand over to the Chu family, and then take Chu Miao and the property of the Chu family back home. Of course, some people will be left to deal with the daily affairs of God's Blessed Island, and soon An Xia will send people here.

However, in view of the mine island found near God's Blessing Island, people from the capital city must not be the only ones who come, and people from all families should come.

Leng Sa was satisfied, "I hope everything goes well, let's go back soon."

"Um."

In the evening, the Chu Manor held a welcome banquet for everyone, and there were not many people, all of them were prominent figures in Cangyun City and subordinates of the Chu family.

Leng Sa could clearly feel that these people seemed to be divided into two factions. One group headed by Shen Chong supported the return of Shenyou Island to Anxia, ​​so they were very friendly and kind to them. The other faction is headed by Yuan Cheng, who obviously rejects them.

Leng Sa found Chu Miao who was hugging her knees and huddled up on the sofa in the corner of the banquet

This kind of banquet was originally an intrigue among adults. Even though Chu Miao is the real master of the Chu family, at her age, no one would think that she could have a serious conversation with her, so the little girl dismissed one of the entourages around her. People hid in corners and no one paid attention.

"Why are you here alone?" Leng Sa went to sit beside her and asked with a smile.

Chu Miao raised her head and looked at her, her eyes were a little red, "Sister Sa Sa."

"What's wrong?" Leng Sa asked softly, touching her little head.

Chu Miao glanced at the lively banquet not far away, and whispered, "The Great Elder... the Great Elder is going to die."

Leng Sa sighed softly in his heart, and said softly, "The Great Elder is very old, he is just tired and wants to rest."

Chu Miao wiped away the teardrops that rolled down her eyes and said, "Sister Sa Sa, don't lie to me. I know what is dead. I saw it when my father passed away."

Leng Sa said, "But they all want you to live well, if you are not happy, they will be worried."

Chu Miao nodded, "I know, last year... Last year, the Great Elder told me that I was just a little sad."

"Do you want to go to Anxia?" Leng Sa asked.

Chu Miao thought for a while before saying, "I want to stay at home, but... I will go to Anxia. The elder said, I can't stay on God's Blessed Island alone. Uncle Shen and Uncle Shen can't beat the third elder. He also It's hard work, and I don't want to burden him."

Leng Sa sighed lightly, rubbed her soft hair and said, "Then feel free to go to Anxia with us, don't worry...we will protect you."

Chu Miao blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Sa Sa, I will take you to a place."

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows and said with great interest, "Okay."

Chu Miao stood up, took Leng Sa's hand and ran outside, "Follow me."

The attendants not far away wanted to follow them when they saw that they were going out, Chu Miao turned to them and said, "Don't follow, I want to take Sister Sa Sa to play!"

Several attendants looked at Leng Sa and felt that there was nothing to worry about, so they nodded respectfully and returned to their original positions.

Chu Miao dragged Leng Sa through the garden and ran all the way to the small building in the middle of the mansion, "Sister Sa Sa, this is where I live."

Pulling Leng Sa into the door, he waved away the servant who wanted to go up to greet him, and the two entered the study on the second floor together.

Leng Sa was a little curious about what Chu Miao was going to show her. This study should have been used by Chu Miao's father and grandfather during his lifetime, and the area is quite large. The three walls are neatly filled with all kinds of books from the floor to the ceiling, like a small library.

"Sister Sa Sa, come here." Chu Miao ran behind the desk, climbed directly onto the chair, stood on the chair and took out a thick hardcover book from the book wall behind her.

"Miaomiao wants to invite me to read the book?" Leng Sa took the book from Chu Miao's hand and realized something was wrong, the weight of the book was wrong.

Leng Sa put the book on the table and opened it. Sure enough, it was not a heavy book, but a box disguised as a book. In other words, it is the shell of a set of books.

Of course Chu Miao didn't want to ask her to read a book, but took out a picture from the books in the box and handed it to Leng Sa, "Sister Sa Sa, look!"

It was a painting slightly smaller than a book, Leng Sa took it over and looked at it but couldn't help trembling slightly.

That was not a traditional painting method, but a hand-painted style that Leng Sa was more familiar with in her previous life.

There are five beautiful girls painted on it, and the painter is obviously very serious, drawing everyone's expressions vividly.

There is a beautiful woman in a red dress with a knife at her waist, a woman in a blue dress lazily playing with a little fox, and a girl in a blue dress with a cute smile who is sitting on the ground with her chin resting on the ground.

Next to the girl in blue stood two women in white clothes, but if you look closely, the colors of the white clothes are not exactly the same. One of the two women looked down at the blue-clothed girl with a colder expression, while the one with a softer smile was talking to the Tsing-clothed woman on the other side.

However, the imagination of the painter is obviously limited. The clothes styles of the three women in front are completely different, and it can be seen at a glance that they are not from the same dynasty.

But the clothes of the two women behind were the same as that of the girl in blue.

Leng Sa stared at the painting in silence for a long time before asking, "Who drew this...?"

Chu Miao said, "This is drawn by my mother, but...she also drew it according to the old one. The original painting is much larger than this, and it is stored in the collection library. My father said that this painting was first drawn by a painter from An Xia... No, it was given to our ancestors by distinguished guests from the Great Sheng Dynasty."

Leng Sa was a little puzzled, "Then why did you show it to me?"

The person in the portrait does not look like her, the appearance of the person in this portrait is drawn according to her previous life.

Chu Miao said, "Father said, the people in this painting are very powerful and good people, this...is the ancestor of our Chu family." Chu Miao pointed to the woman in red in the painting.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows slightly, pointed at the girl in blue in the painting and asked, "Who is she?"

Chu Miao shook her head in a daze, "I don't know, and Dad said he didn't know either. It might be a good friend of my ancestors, after all, it was a long time ago. But of course, my ancestors' friends are all good people ah."

Her father probably didn't think so, after all, the costumes of the three women could tell at a glance that they were not from the same era at all.

Leng Sa couldn't help chuckling, "That's why Miao Miao showed me this painting because..."

Chu Miao said, "Because I think... Sister Sa Sa is very similar to this sister." Chu Miao accurately pointed to Leng Sa in the portrait.

Leng Sa was startled, and after a while said, "Like it?"

Chu Miao nodded and said, "It doesn't look like it, but it feels alike."

The second update in the afternoon~ What, and Merry Christmas, my dears~
