Zhan Zhumen

Two days later, Dui Ba followed Mu Yan's order to meet Huo Xi.

"The young master agrees to join the Longxing and Wanjia. We have also found another one here. So, let's just these five."

Huo Xi nodded in agreement.

With the strength of Langguang Pavilion and Longxing, it is actually possible to play without them.These two families are rich and powerful, so they can go to sea alone, and they don't need to bring their little brothers with them, which will reduce the profits.

However, the risks at sea are not small. It is also prudent to test the waters for the first time and share the risks.When you get familiar with the road trip, maybe they won't take you to play.

Huo Xi didn't worry too much, I'll talk about the future, when I have capital, I'm not afraid of being left behind.

Two days later, the five housekeepers sat down to discuss specific matters.Shen Qianzhong and Yang Fu came to Guangfengshui, but Huo Xi didn't go.

On the same day, each family negotiated, and each family contributed 50,000 taels to jointly find a boat, find a manpower, and cover all expenses on the way.Each family can carry a thousand stones of goods.

In addition to the unified employment of sailor guards, each family can bring [-] more people.

Wan Jia cherishes the opportunity to go out to sea with Langguang Pavilion.

Last year, the Longxing did not take him with him when he went out to sea, so he went by himself.Wanjia Timber Co., Ltd. is mainly engaged in the timber business, and other businesses are less involved, but the profit of maritime trade is so high, Wanjia naturally wants to participate.

Immediately, he said that because his family supplies wood to the shipyard all year round, he was asked to find the ship.

The Longxing and Langguang Pavilion have connections, and they are responsible for finding sailors and guards.The other and Guangfengshui are responsible for the rest of the chores.

After the meeting between Yang Fu and Shen Qianzhong, they were so busy that they flew off.

Huo Xi was thinking about what to bring.

A large ship with [-] materials can carry more than [-] tons, a family can carry [-] shi, [-] shi is about [-] tons, and [-] families can carry [-] tons.Add two or three hundred people, and hundreds of people have to be loaded to eat and use all the way, which is hundreds of tons.

This will be fine.I'm afraid I can't bring more.

My own white sugar and rock sugar must be the main belt, and I will buy some silk, porcelain, tea, and my own handicrafts...

Yang Fu was busy contacting various families, running errands, and Shen Qianzhong was busy buying various supplies.

Huo Xi bought a lot of sucrose and prepared to transport it back to Zhuangzi to be refined.Just as she was about to go back to Zhuangzi, she discovered that Huo Wuniang had brought her family into the city.

Huo Xi looked at her family sitting in the main hall of the house in Qionghua Lane with big bags and small bags, and was a little dazed.

Grandma Zou heard that she was Huo Erhuai's younger sister's family, so she warmly entertained them and sent someone to call Huo Xi.

After the two parties greeted each other, Huo Wuniang and the others looked at the two servant girls who followed her, and Huo Xi also pondered their reason for coming.

Huo Wuniang was secretly surprised, the second brother even gave his daughter a maid?or two?
I'm afraid this house is not rented, is it?The second sister-in-law and the second brother live in Zhuangzi, whose Zhuangzi belongs to it?Didn't the second brother go fishing to help people collect and sell goods? Why did he go to Zhuangzi again and plant land for others?
Huo Wuniang didn't think that Huo Erhuai could afford Zhuangzi, the main reason was that buying a Zhuangzi cost several thousand taels, and her second brother probably didn't have the ability.

"Fifth Aunt, please sit down first, I will go to the kitchen with Grandma Zou to arrange meals for you."

"I'll help you." Huo Wuniang stood up.

"No, no, no, you have come here so hard, how can I let you work. Sit down." Seeing that Huo Wuniang was about to pull Wei He up, Huo Xi hurriedly pressed her down.

Grandma Zou and Huo Xi arrived in the kitchen, pulled her and whispered, "Did your father call your Fifth Aunt?"

"I don't know, my parents didn't tell me."

Aunt Zou sighed: "Your parents are soft-hearted, they sold your father over there, and they still miss the people there. I just said that this house is rented, and your parents are working in the village. , didn't talk about the shop. The couple seem to be honest, but they know people and faces but don't know their hearts. Once people see wealth, their hearts will change."

Huo Xi agreed: "Grandma, you should be more thoughtful. We have to wait for my father to come and see how he arranges this matter. The whole family has defected here, and it's not easy for me as a junior to arrange it."

"Let's take it back to Zhuangzi. I've lived in this city for a long time, and I'm afraid they will notice something. I heard that your grandma's family is not good."

Of course it is impossible to put them in the city.

But sending it to Chuang Tzu... also doesn't work.What Huo Xi wants to cover up most now is the sugar factory over Jiangjun Mountain.

Vanilla and Xia He helped Grandma Zou prepare meals, and Huo Xi came out to talk with Huo Wuniang and the others, and by the way, understood their thoughts.

Seeing Wei Ling obediently sitting on a chair and eating pastries, it is quite attractive, "Eat slowly, drink some water, don't choke. Cousin will get it for you after eating."

"Thank you, cousin." She said childishly, looking at Huo Xixiao.Little feet dangled on the chair.

Huo Xi pinched his little face, it was still a cute human cub.

Wei He secretly looked at Huo Xi.How long has it been since she dared not look at this cousin anymore.The cousin looks like she was raised by a rich family, and she has maids to follow her.

Wei He lowered his head and pursed his lips, grabbing the hem of his clothes and turning around.

"Xiao He eats too." Huo Xi looked at her.

"Thank you, cousin." Wei He looked up at Huo Xi, wanting to reach for the pastry, Wei Ling moved the plate towards her sister.

Huo Xi looked at it and smiled.

Looking at Wei Qi: "My mother is pregnant now, and the family's original work is really too busy now. I just don't know what my uncle is good at, so we can help arrange it."

Wei Qijue is quite strange, he dare not look at the second uncle, this niece is not very old, but why does she feel more imposing than the second uncle?It's really strange.

"I, I, the field work, I am good at it."

Huo Wuniang agreed from the side: "Yes, yes, your uncle and I are not afraid of hard work, just entrust us to do whatever work you have. It is not busy farming, and those who have connections will go to the capital to find work. I heard that they earn a lot. There is no way I also do work in counties and towns. Your uncle and I have nowhere to go, and we only guard an acre of land in the field. We don’t have half a cent of silver in our hands, and our two children have no money to treat them when they are sick... ..."

Thinking of going out to join my second brother this time, my in-laws still stopped me from leaving.

Why should the ten acres of land at home be given to her and Wei Qi?The people in the other houses are out and about, not even coming back when the farming season is busy.

She didn't believe that they handed over all the money that was handed over to the public.If that's the case, why is it like burning your butt, you can't stay at home, thinking about running out all day?

She didn't believe that they handed over all the money they earned.

When her family follows the second elder brother, they can put some money in their hands.She was really poor and frightened, she had no money, and when her child was sick, she had to sell another child to afford medical care.

She didn't want to live like that again.

Huo Xi had a chat with them, and had a general understanding of their couple's personalities.

Wei Qi has no big ambitions in his chest, he is honest and a bit dull.Huo Wuniang is a little shrewd.These two seem to be in charge, but the Huo family and the Wei family behind them, only their two old ladies, Huo Xi is not sensitive.

Because Huo Erhuai didn't enter the city today, Huo Xi left them to live in the house overnight, planning to wait for Huo Erhuai to come tomorrow, and discuss with him before making arrangements for their family.

In the afternoon, when Huo Nian came back from school, he saw that there was an extra room at home.I recognized it, and I knew it, so I went up to say hello.

And Huo Wuniang looked at the second brother's son, very surprised.Her nephew is only five years old, and he actually goes to school?

This dress, this manner of speaking and deeds, is definitely the son of a rich family.Did her second brother really get rich?
Then her family can make a fortune by following the second brother, can they also send Wei Ling to study in the future?
