Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 421 What kind of family has hundreds of people?

After a busy day, the Cheng family all sat down to take a breath in the evening. The emperor wanted to open a trading company belonging to the imperial court, so Cheng Daqi naturally went all out. He was the leader of the trading company, and from now on he would be the leader of the entire Xijin merchants. This power was not generally.

In the past, working for the emperor was a one-sided effort, and the emperor did not give any substantial benefits. The Cheng family watched the excitement, but actually had no power at all. But it is different now.

"Too many people have come to us in the past two days, hoping to get a position in the trading company. Once this trading company is established, it will be the support of our Cheng family in the future."

Cheng Dashan felt that although this day was tiring, it was very easy and interesting.

Cheng Daqi happily said that the general framework has been drawn up, and it is necessary to select a few capable people to put it in. "Those merchants who have been following us are good. Tell them that each merchant will choose one person to send them over." I’ve told you, it must be someone who needs it.”

Mr. Cheng nodded, "It's natural. It's easy for merchants to choose, but it's difficult for everyone in the court. They all come here when they smell the fragrance."

"Should our family also choose one? We should not shy away from relatives when promoting talents. There are several boys in the family who are indeed good. I think one will be fine. Brother, we have to make long-term plans."

The title of the Cheng family cannot be extended. If Cheng Daqi loses the Cheng family plaque, he will have to replace it, so he will naturally have to make more plans.

Everyone's eyes fell on Cheng Yi, and Cheng Youqian spoke first, "I think it's okay. The eldest brother will go to the trading company, and I will still be responsible for the family business. If it doesn't work, the third brother can still help me. There won't be any delay."

Cheng Yousan raised his head and really agreed, "Just tell me if you need me to do anything."

His own errand was purely for fun, and there was no room for advancement. In the end, he had to come back to take care of the family business.

Cheng Youxian is currently working as an errand in the yamen, and there is no possibility of promotion. He just wants to have a good name. "I can do it too. We are all used to it. If we brothers work together, nothing will go wrong."

Seeing that several young men were thinking this way, the two brothers Cheng Daqi felt relieved and agreed to let Cheng Yi enter the business. Cheng Yi joked, "Only dad, a high-ranking man, turns a blind eye. Even if I The business firm can also take time to take care of the business at home. "

Everyone in the room laughed, and after talking about a few things, Cheng Daqi said that everyone from the Yuan family was here to attend Yuan Su's wedding. Xiao He was a little surprised when he heard that more than 20 people came this time, "The Yuan family How many people are there?"

Cheng Daqi didn't know it, but Cheng Xiaosi knew it because Yuan Sijin had told her before, "Uncle Yuan has two brothers and a sister. The sister married in his hometown. He is the eldest and he has three children. You guys You know that; you also know that his second brother is not married; but his third brother is married and has three sons and two daughters, and they are all at home on weekdays. "

"Uncle Yuan is the current patriarch of the Yuan family, but they have already agreed that the next patriarch will be Yuan Zhi who came back last time."

"There were hundreds of people in my hometown. When it was at its peak, the whole city was called Yuancheng."

The Cheng family looked at each other. What kind of family has hundreds of people?
Not even the Cheng family, including the servants in the mansion, has this number.

Mr. Cheng clicked his tongue. No wonder the Yuan family father and son were so cautious about the future. There were so many people. To put it cruelly, if they were beheaded, the executioner's knife would not be able to kill all the Yuan family members even if they were lame.

"There are too many people in the Yuan family." Xiao He's eyes fell on Cheng Xiaosi, "Fortunately, the wedding was in the capital, and fortunately there were only about twenty people here. If they were in their hometown, the new daughter-in-law would be given to the elders. Serving tea will make people faint."

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said: "They are the kind of people who can clearly distinguish their descendants from their concubines, and their connections are also very clear. Not everyone is qualified to sit on it and wait for tea."

Cheng Daqi nodded, "When there are many people, there are many things to do. Naturally, we have to distinguish clearly. Which veins, which branches and which rooms are all clear. On weekdays, everyone eats his own food, so there is no need to worry."

"I've seen that within a few days, people from the Yen family will come to discuss the wedding date. Let them choose a date, and we can just pick one."

Yuan Su felt that the days were passing by like a year, but Cheng Daqi felt that the days passed too fast. Why was one year coming so soon? How did the days pass?

But no matter how reluctant I am, I can only send my daughter to get married, and I can’t keep her.

Next, the Cheng family clearly divided the labor and started working, and soon it was the day for the Jiang family to hire someone. The betrothal gift from a scholar's family was not that grand, but the few boxes of unique calligraphy and paintings were able to hold up the scene. It is a rare good thing on the market, and it is a great treasure in the eyes of many scholars and scholars.

"Oh, this betrothal gift smells like ink."

Cheng Yousan carefully tasted the good things as if he had never seen the world before, and picked up a book, "This is it, a manuscript written by everyone. Some people have heard about my coming here. Should we keep this thing or return it?" go back?"

As soon as the question came up, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Cheng Dajian. Cheng Dajian only thought about it briefly and made a decision, "Stay."

The Cheng family does not have these things, and these things cannot be bought with money. There is no reason to return them all once they are in hand. "The family should clean up a good place for collecting books and store all these things in it." If you come across good ones, buy some back.”

He privately thought that if there were more books at home, the smell of books would be stronger, which would help his children and grandchildren study. Maybe the Cheng family would become number one scholar in the future.

The wish was quite good and was unanimously approved by everyone. For this reason, Cheng Xiaosi opened the warehouse again and selected a few more dowries for her third sister.

The Cheng family was about to hold a happy event, and it happened to be the time when Cheng Daqi was at his most prosperous. There was an endless stream of people coming to send congratulatory gifts. Uncle Wang was holding his old waist and burst into laughter. As the old butler of the Cheng family, he felt quite honored.

"Mrs. Cheng Er, congratulations."

Mrs. Yuan came, followed by two ladies and three girls from the Yuan family. As the matchmaker for the Cheng family and the Jiang family, Mrs. Yuan received a high-level reception as soon as she arrived. Mrs. Qin's face was filled with excitement. With a smile, "It's all thanks to you. We were supposed to invite you. I lost etiquette. Please forgive me."

Mrs. Yuan smiled and said: "I am very happy to receive such a valuable matchmaker thank you gift from you. I only hope that the two children will be harmonious in the future, and I am even happier."

As he spoke, he began to introduce the people around him, "Let me introduce to you, this one is my cousin-in-law, and this is her daughter, named Yuan Wanyin; this one is my third younger brother and sister-in-law, and the two girls next to her are her Yes, the taller one is called Yuan Siyun, and the other one is called Yuan Siting.”

After greeting each other, they all started talking affectionately. Except for Mrs. Yuan, everyone in the Yuan family couldn't help but look out the door. You must know that they are coming with them today because they want to see Cheng Xiaosi. , want to see what the woman who not only made Yuan Wu agree to marry him, but also fell in love with her looks like?
