The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 119 Lu Liucheng

At this time, Qing Hua came running out of breath and shouting, "Auntie, our girl is calling you to have a banquet with Mr. Xin!"

"Yeah, Qing Hua, come quickly, how is Mr. Xin? Is he good? Are you capable?"

Qinghua's face was bitter, her little head was like a chick cutting rice grains, "It's amazing, and she told our girl that she wants to teach Qingyu and me how to behave."

"It's time to teach you two rules." Aunt Liu nodded to Qinghua's forehead and smiled, "Look at Hongmei and Bihe, they really know the rules."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Liu drove the women back, "You all go back and wait for the news, and we will talk again in the evening. If you are not able to live at home, just spend your time at my house."

The women all laughed and got up and went back.After all, there are old and young waiting for them to take care of food and drink at home, and the conservatory is also inseparable from people for a moment.

Aunt Liu changed into a new jacket and skirt, and Zhou Zheng went to Lu's house after dressing up cleanly.

In the second courtyard of the Lu family, Xiaomi and Qinghua Qingyu lived in the main landlord's house, and the west house reserved a guest for the night.The three rooms in the east wing have been used as storerooms, and now one with a large kang is given to Aunt Han, and the three rooms in the west wing will be used as girls' schools in the future.

Liu Dashi took two neighbors with him yesterday, and quickly opened a corner door on the outer wall, so that girls in the village do not have to pass by the front yard to go in and out.

Now, in the cold wind mixed with the smell of muddy water, there is a table of wine and food in the main room in the backyard. It is not particularly rich, but the six dishes and one soup are exquisite and delicious.Aunt Jiang, Aunt Liu, Hongmei Bihe, and Aunt Han were invited as accompanying guests.

Aunt Liu specially ordered a jug of wine, intending to persuade Aunt Han to drink a few more glasses, to tell the truth after drinking, and to see the true temperament of this person.

result…

When night fell, many women waited and waited, but there was no news, so they dropped the pots and pans and ran to Liu's house, and saw Aunt Liu who was drunk.

Gui Zhi'er hugged her youngest son, smiled and explained to everyone, "When my mother came back, she said, 'Sister Han is really amazing', and then fell asleep."

Everyone was silent for a moment and then laughed.

"This new gentleman is really powerful enough to get my aunt drunk."

"Okay, Xiaomi's vision can't be wrong, and our aunt is not easy to fool, she should be a good person."

"Let's see in the future, as long as I teach my daughter to be smart, I will thank her."

"Me too, I don't expect my child to do well, but to learn more and catch up with Xiaomi by half, so I really don't have to worry about her suffering in the future."

Everyone chatted and laughed, and then dispersed.

On the second day, the girls from various families came to the door one after another, and Xiaomi didn't pay much attention to it. She really handed over all of them to Aunt Han to teach, without saying a word.

Aunt Han felt relieved and felt more at ease.

Xiaomi really couldn't take care of it, because Boss Lu and his wife set off for Quanzhou on this day.For the journey of thousands of miles, even though there were villagers traveling with her, the Chen family stewards were there to listen to them, and she had found a motorcade to accompany her, she still couldn't help thinking about it.

Food and clothing, money, and all kinds of things are cumbersome and complicated.

The same is true for every household in the village. Parents took their sons by the hand and ordered them again and again, until the young children wanted to cover their ears.

Until the sun was three poles and I had to leave.Boss Lu and his wife knelt and kowtowed in front of the courtyard gate, and the rest of the younger generation also knelt down, causing the parents and elders of the family to wipe away their tears.

Father Lu supported the eldest son, patted him on the shoulder, and said only one sentence, "Go, write more letters. Listen to your wife if you have anything to do. We have Xiaomi at home."

Xiaomi also held his sister-in-law's hand, very reluctant.

Chen Yuexian had already made arrangements, and said in a low voice, "I left Hongmei to look after the yard, and you can let her come over to take care of you on weekdays. If you have something to do, it's better than two blue and white jades."

"Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

No matter how reluctant to say goodbye, it's time to separate.

After waiting to send the convoy away from Laoxiongling, the village seemed to be a lot empty at once, and the quietness was a bit unacceptable.

The barking of the old dog at the head of the village can resound throughout the village, and the lively birds are unwilling to fly to the village to pick up food...

On the other hand, in the convoy going south, the younger generations happily refused to ride in the car, and rode back and forth on horseback, as happy as birds that had been freed.

On the other side of Quanzhou, the Liu family had already welcomed back the eldest son who hadn't been home for many days.

The Liu family has a simple population, a family of four, and Mr. Liu doesn't even have a concubine. Of course, the love between the husband and wife is the main reason, but his wife, Chen's natal family is also of the highest rank, and her elder brother is the governor of Quanzhou, so no one dares to bully her.

Hearing the eldest son talk about co-organizing a workshop with a friend's family, Mr. Liu, who has read a lot of sage books, but only changed to become a famous scholar, is about to reprimand him, but Mrs. Liu strongly supports his son.

So, this matter was settled, whether it was manpower or money, I would give whatever I wanted. I was afraid that my son would lose face in front of his friends, and I also hoped that my son would learn some common things because of this, and he would not be like his father who only knew poetry and books and left the family. Asylum is starving.

Liu Buqi is really lucky to have such a mother, but Cheng Ziheng is in dire straits.

He was excited to go home to deliver the letter, but he was scolded by his father when he covered his face. Before he could explain, the elder brother smiled and helped his father, and persuaded him, "Father, studying is hard, and the second brother may not be able to bear it for a while. Come back and stay for a few days. Don't worry, I will take my second brother around for a few days, prepare more food, and then send him back to the academy."

Sure enough, Master Cheng calmed down his anger, but he still looked at his son-in-law without anger, "You, if you are as sensible as your eldest brother, I can live a few more years."

The son was so angry with his father, the crime was a bit too big.

Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears at that time, "Master, you can't say that, Ziheng is also your son, if he is not filial, why would he go to study in that bitter cold place, and he will have a big exam next year. You say that If he goes out, he will bear the name of unfilial even if he wins the exam."

Master Cheng also felt that he had made a slip of the tongue. He hesitated for a moment, and wanted to change his mind. The eldest son knelt down and kowtowed again, "It's all my fault. I only manage business and keep company with copper stinkers. Otherwise, my second brother won't have to go to school." suffer from this."

Master Cheng pulled his most beloved eldest son up, and said angrily, "What nonsense, you take care of your birthday all day long, and you work so hard, no one in the family knows. Your second brother's education expenses are all money you earned back... "

Mrs. Cheng was so angry that her hands trembled, she wanted to scold but was stopped by Cheng Ziheng.

Surprisingly, he didn't get into a rage like many times before, provoking his father to start a family law. This time he stood up and apologized to his father, and finally said, "Father, my son was ignorant before, so I caused you to worry about it. Now that my son has grown up, Although the family business is not easy to take care of by yourself, I share one or two with my elder brother, but my son also needs to help out as much as I can. I have a classmate in the academy, and my family has a unique craft, making a kind of dry food with ground eggs, which is popular throughout Dayuan. I heard that the sales are booming in Kyoto now, and there will be a lot of profits in the future. However, there is a shortage of land in the north, so my son’s friend discussed with his son to build another workshop in Quanzhou. Another friend’s family offered land to build a workshop, and our family has many restaurants and shops. , is responsible for the sale, and the bonus is divided into [-]%. The son thinks this is a good business, so he came back specially. If the father thinks it is wrong, the son will go back to the academy immediately..."

"Wait!"

Before Master Cheng could speak, Boss Cheng anxiously stopped the conversation, "Second Brother is talking about that... fan? Someone came back from the North a few days ago, brought some, and set up a banquet in the Huibin Building. It's very praiseworthy, could it be this earth egg..."

Boss Cheng was very excited, staring at Cheng Ziheng, afraid that he would deny it.

Cheng Ziheng took a sip of tea slowly, then nodded, "Brother is right, it is vermicelli and cornstarch made from ground eggs. Our ground eggs cost five catties for one penny, and eight catties of ground eggs cost one catty of vermicelli or cornstarch. The selling price of a catty of vermicelli or raw powder is one or two silver. My brother said, what is the profit?"

"A lot of money, it's just a lot of money!"

Boss Cheng is tall and looks like a gentleman, but his eyes are a little small, and the luster and greed in the small eyes can't be contained at the moment.

Afraid that his father would refuse, he hurriedly turned around and begged, "Father, our family must accept this business. It doesn't take much in a year. If we produce one hundred thousand catties, it will be a profit of 9 taels of silver. In a few years, the Cheng family will surely be The richest man in Quanzhou..."

"Brother, have you forgotten? This is the business of the Lu family. Our Cheng family and the Liu family are just working together, with a [-]% bonus..."

Cheng Ziheng sneered, quite different from his usual smile.

Boss Cheng waved his hand impatiently. The arrogance of being spoiled by his father for many years has made him forget his identity, "Second brother, don't join in the business. I'm the one for business. You should study hard, and you must It won’t make you short of money for studying.”

Master Cheng also started to push people away, "Okay, listen to your elder brother, you can go down and rest."

Cheng Ziheng also simply got up, saluted, and said for the last time, "Father, elder brother, absolutely don't provoke the Lu family. Not only the Lu family has a deep friendship with the son, but the Lu family also has the ability to be untouchable. If something embarrassing happens in the end Don't blame your son for not speaking up front."

"Okay, it's just a cooperative business. Each depends on his own ability, and it won't make it difficult for you to be a man. You can go and rest quickly. I discuss business with my father, and you don't understand."

Boss Cheng rushed away impatiently, as if he was the owner of the mansion.

Cheng Ziheng silently helped the old mother to the backyard. Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she grabbed her son's hand and shed tears, "Son, you have been wronged for so many years. Mother..."

Cheng Ziheng sighed deeply. His mother was also a red makeup in the past, and she brought eighteen shops to marry Cheng's family. He only thought that the scholarly Cheng family's newcomer would love her for a lifetime. In the end, the concubine who had been hiding outside for a few days Shi came in with a big belly, she was sick, and she finally gave birth to a concubine and stayed in bed for many years. Eighteen shops fell into the hands of the concubine, and now the concubine died, and it was in the hands of the eldest son...

"Mother, is the deed of the shop still in your hand?"

"Of course, this is mother's dowry, and it will be left to you." (I didn't make it back from yesterday, so I will make up for it today.)
