Chu Huan understood and said, "In this way, the Su family is still very prestigious in Yuezhou?"

Linlang pointed his head with a slight tip: "I wonder if you have heard of the sixteen surnames in Guanxi?"

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I didn't hear it, but I can guess that the sixteen surnames in Guanxi should be all wealthy families in the northwest, right?"

Linlang smiled charmingly and said, "It's not difficult to guess this, don't think you are very smart. The sixteen surnames of Guanxi are the sixteen nobles of Guanxi. Among them, Xiguandao and Xiguandao occupy seven surnames, which are also called the seven surnames of Xiguan. The Su family is one of the seven surnames of Xiguan."

Chu Huan sighed: "The people of Xiliang entered the pass, and Xiguan Road suffered heavy damage. The seven surnames in Guanxi are probably now dead in name only."

Linlang said sadly: "You are right. Not to mention other wealthy families, only the Su family, and the industries accumulated by generations have almost been robbed by the people of Xiliang, and many people have died under the swords and guns of the people of Xiliang."

"It must be not easy for Uncle Su to enter the pass!"

"When Yuezhou was in danger, the Su clans were either dead or injured, and they were all scattered." Linlang said: "The old uncle retreated in time. Before the people of Xiliang arrived, he fled Yuezhou in time. It was because he was in a hurry that he could bring almost any property. On the way to escape, they encountered robbers and the two cars of property they had brought out were also looted by the robbers. At that time, the servants fought with the robbers and lost more than ten lives."

Chu Huan knew that bandits who took advantage of the situation were not uncommon in the northwest, so he nodded slightly.

"My uncle thought that the Northwest Army might be able to repel the people of Xiliang. At first, he never entered the pass, but hid in the old friends' homes on Beishan Road to take refuge." Linlang sighed: "It is said that good, poor are on the roadside and no one is asking about them, and wealth is in the deep mountains. When the Su family was once glorious, the so-called old friends of the Su family were also as numerous as cows. The old uncle led dozens of people in the family, originally wanted to stay in the Gao family in Qingzhou for a while, but who knew that after living for two days, the Gao family criticized the mulberry and the locust. That means that the old uncle led the family to eat and drink for free in the Gao family. How could he have suffered such grievances in his life? He immediately asked to leave the Gao family...!"

"Wait!" Chu Huan frowned and asked, "Linlang, the Gao family you mentioned is the Gao family in Qingzhou? Is there someone named Gao Lian?"

Linlang was stunned, and her pretty face showed confusion: "Chu Lang, do you know Gao Lian?"

"Is it really Gao Lian's Gao family?" Chu Huan sighed, feeling that the world is small, but not big, and he seems to have a lot of fate with Gao Lian. He has been directly or indirectly related to this person. "I have seen this person. When I came back from Xiliang this time, I passed through Jiazhou. Gao Lian and a group of gentry in the northwest, went to Jiazhou to hold a banquet."

Linlang frowned and said angrily: "This kind of person is an ungrateful villain. It is said that Gao Lian's father had been favored by his uncle. The Gao family can be today, and the Su family has also helped him. The relationship between the two families is said to be quite good. Although Gao Lian's father is a few years older than his uncle, he calls his uncle the elder brother... This is all old news. After being wronged in the Gao family, he took his clan members directly into the pass. At the beginning, they were all placed in Tongzhou...!"

Chu Huan hugged Linlang's waist, gently stroked Linlang's soft waist with one hand, and asked, "How did they come to Yunshan?"

"In fact, they had known that their father had built a property in Yunshan, but their father had never contacted them before. At that time, their family was big and no one came to ask about their father. Although they were of the same clan, they were like passers-by." Linlang sighed softly: "This time they suffered a great disaster. They took refuge in Tongzhou and suffered a lot. After the war in the northwest, many people fled into the pass from the northwest. Those who fled in were actually mostly wealthy gentry in the northwest. They had horses and vehicles, so they were able to escape into the pass... My uncle was with those people in Tongzhou."

"Those people should also seek refuge in the pass, right?"

"You don't know that the seven surnames of Xiguan, their ancestors were from Xiguan. The northwest tyrants rarely walked with Guannei, so there were not many of them able to surrender to Guannei." Linlang's head snuggled up on Chu Huan's shoulder and smiled bitterly: "And even though these people were once a large family in the northwest, their families have now been destroyed, and many of them have lost their entire family and have only escaped their lives... You said that even if you have relatives and friends in Guannei, who would be willing to take them in?"

Chu Huan can understand.

As Linlang said, the phoenix that landed on the ground was not as good as a chicken. The people of Xiguandao suffered heavy damage, the gentry and wealth were hit hard, and their family wealth was gone, and they were no longer as prominent as before. Even though these people were still retaining the dignity of the tyrants, they were just ordinary refugees who suffered military disasters in the eyes of outsiders.

After all, these northwest tycoons were big families, and they all had their own industries. They had to have business dealings with the inner city. There were still some friends in the inner city. However, when they became in the current dilemma, they were really able to accept them and lend a helping hand. Although there were not only such people, they were a very small number after all.

"How did the old uncle and the others find it here?"

"It's not my uncle." Linlang smiled bitterly, "The old uncle has a generation of six brothers. My grandfather is the eldest, but when my father was very young, his grandfather died, and the old uncle was second. After his grandfather passed away, the old uncle became the helmsman of the Su family. The Su family actually operated many industries. At that time, my father's branch mainly operated a winery. Originally, this was not the largest input in the clan, but my father liked to brew wine and had a very good popularity. The winery grew bigger and bigger. Later, the biggest business in the clan turned into a winery."

Chu Huan said: "The wood is so beautiful that the forest wind will destroy it. The old boss is too outstanding, so the rest of the clan naturally become jealous."

Linlang sighed: "It is precisely because the wine industry is made bigger by my father that many people in the clan are jealous. Although all the industries of the Su clan belong to the clan and those shops belong to the public, the profit distribution is different. Just like my father is in charge of the wine shop, then all the wine shops under the name of the Su family are operated by my father. If it is profitable, 60% of the profits belong to the public and 40% of the father's personal ownership. Don't underestimate these 40% of the profits. The Su family's many wine shops are combined, and the father is well-managed and the business is booming. Every year, the father's personal dividends are quite a few."

"If this was the case, it would be a good thing for my father and the family." Linlang smiled bitterly: "But because of his father's generous dividends every year, many people in the clan became jealous, and Uncle Qi was one of them."

"Is Su Zhen's father?"

"Yeah." Linlang nodded and said, "Su Zhen's father was ranked seventh in his father's generation. We all call him Uncle Seven." After a pause, he said, "Uncle Seven was originally a business in the family. Before he took over, the tea business was always good. Later, the tea business was not good. Gongzhong also had to pay the money every year. According to the rules of the clan, if the business was in a loss, Gongzhong would subsidize 30% of the losses, and the remaining 70% would be filled by the operators individually..."

"That year, the clan meeting was held. The clan meeting was hosted by the head of the family. In fact, it was mainly to discuss how to operate the next year. Sometimes, it would also mobilize the clan members." Linlang frowned and said, "It was the clan meeting that someone in the clan actually proposed to ask his father to run a tea shop, but asked Uncle Qi to run a wine shop."

Chu Huan said: "This must be the tact of Uncle Qi behind."

"My father knew it well and opposed it on the spot. But most of the people said that his father was very capable and the tea shop in the clan was not in good condition. As long as his father took action, he would definitely reverse the losses." Linlang was obviously angry and clenched his fist: "My father was able to run a good wine shop because his father liked to make wine since he was a child. He had been immersed in the wine shop for many years. How could he run a good business? At that time, the wine shops in the Su family had already formed a scale, and were famous in the northwest. As long as there was no big problem, there would be generous investments every year. The tea shop suffered losses every year. If his father transferred to the tea shop, he would probably have to pay all the dividends he had in the first few years."

"So my old boss left the northwest in anger?"

"My father didn't care about the bonus. His biggest wish was that one day the fine wine he brewed was chosen as the imperial wine." Linlang said sadly: "But Uncle Qi had bribed many people in the clan in advance, and even his uncle also got the benefits of Uncle Qi. Although his uncle was fair on weekdays, he did not speak for his father that day... His father turned against him on the spot. When he returned home, no one saw him. He just drank and drunk for several days, he suddenly asked his family to pack up his things and did not say goodbye to the tribe. He wanted to leave the northwest and enter the pass to build a foundation."

Chu Huan admired: "It's a pity that my old boss passed away and failed to meet him. He dared to act and acted decisively. If he could be taught by his side, he would definitely learn a lot."

"After the clan knew about the news that my father was leaving, the old uncle came to persuade him personally, but his father had decided to leave. Instead, many winery brothers who followed his father and heard that his father was going to enter the pass and started his own business, so many people were willing to enter the pass with him." Linlang said: "This is also the bonus that my father has treated them kindly. His father always had to give them a part of it to reward them and treat them as his own family. Everyone said that the winery would soon fall away after leaving his father. They didn't want to see the signs that worked hard and hard would be destroyed like that, so they were willing to follow his father to enter the pass and work hard. The signs that my father had run in the northwest back then were Heshengquan!"
