take a wife to support the family

Chapter 110

The gates in the countryside are not closed during the day, and on weekdays, when neighbors come to find people or borrow things, they come in directly to talk.This is knocking on the door again, and it is a strange voice, probably not a local.

Song Haonian thought to himself, he does know some foreigners, but none of these people should call him "Master", what is the origin of this person?
When I went to the door, I saw a man in silk shirt in his 30s standing there.

Song Haonian is tall, this man is not much shorter than him, he is tall and majestic, standing there like a door panel, he looks like a military master who is skilled in archery and horse.

But this person was wearing a elegant and rich maroon colored silk shirt, Song Haonian didn't know the identity of the person for a while, so he stopped: "You are?"

"This is Master Song's house, Song Haonian?" Seeing Song Haonian nodding, the man hurriedly bowed deeply, and said, "I have seen Master Song, send my greetings to Master Song!"

Song Haonian hurriedly clasped his fists in return and said: "Where can you be called 'Master' by brother, I don't know you are?"

The man sent a greeting card with a smile, and said with a smile: "Master, I still remember that I saved a businessman surnamed Wang years ago. That was my uncle. I'm Chen Bin, and I'm here to thank my uncle."

"It turned out to be Brother Chen, don't call me 'Master' any more. If Brother Chen doesn't mind, just call me Da Nian." Song Haonian thought that only people of Liu Juren's age and status could be called Master. rise.

While talking, Song Haonian hurriedly led people into the room and asked Lily to serve tea.

Chen Bin kept looking at the house out of the corner of his eyes, nodded secretly, divided the guests and hosts to sit down, said "excuse me" to Lily, and took a few sips of the tea she brought.

This man looks rough, but he is really a gentleman. Song Haonian is most afraid of dealing with these gentlemen. He doesn't know what to say, so he has to wait for Chen Bin to speak.

But Chen Bin was not in a hurry, he drank half a cup of tea slowly, and then smiled and said: "I came to the door in a hurry, originally to send a post, and my uncle's thank you gift is still in the inn. If Brother Song doesn't give up, I will formally invite you tomorrow." Come and visit."

What he said was polite, Song Haonian became more and more uncomfortable, and said: "Tomorrow I will be free, Brother Chen can just come to the door. Just don't say thank you for the gift, Uncle Wang has also helped me a lot. "

Not to mention anything else, but just that butterfly hairpin, if it wasn't for Uncle Wang's help, how would he be able to buy it?
Chen Bin smiled slightly, made some concessions and left.

Song Haonian frowned at the greeting card: "Daughter-in-law, what do you write here?"

Lily thought, looking at the man's advances and retreats, he might really be someone from a big place with a lot of family background. She took the invitation card, opened it, and said with a smile, "It's just like what he said, I'm coming to visit you tomorrow. .”

Song Haonian scratched his head: "If you want to come, just come, what do you say to visit." It was like a villager visiting Master Liu, making him feel uncomfortable.

"I'm sure she's used to being polite, and it's the first time she comes to the door, so she's naturally solemn." Lily said hastily, "Besides, he seems to be a sensible person, knowing that we are uncomfortable, and I'm afraid it won't be like that in the future."

Song Haonian said: "Tomorrow we can't lose etiquette, although we can't learn his etiquette, we have our own rules for hospitality."

Lily nodded and said yes, she was determined to be a good wife, she was a good manager in charge of the house, no matter what, she couldn't make mistakes in the matter of hospitality, and told foreigners to watch Song Haonian's jokes.

Lily was ready to receive guests at home, and Song Haonian went out to inquire again, and when he came back, he said: "I live in the Hongsheng foot shop, and I just arrived in the afternoon yesterday, with several servants, and a few large carts of things. It's the first time I went out today, I asked where our house is, so I came directly."

This kind of ostentation is unlikely to be a liar - if it is really a liar who cheats money, just go to those rich people, their family just built a house, and it is when the inner pocket is empty, how can they cheat?

What's more, the greeting card clearly stated: the name of the businessman Mr. Wang, the name of Song Haonian, and the reason for the visit.If it is a liar, where can I find out about these?

It seems that it is a serious thank you.

Lamei went out early in the morning to play with Song Ermei, and when she came back, she heard her eldest brother-in-law talking, and said, "I saw them staying in the hotel at noon yesterday."

After several times of confirmation, I only know that this person is really the nephew of the wealthy businessman Wang Jin who was rescued by Song Haonian and others, and he was ordered by his uncle to give a thank you gift, no one else knows.

Song Haonian said: "It's useless to think about these things. You will know what they are doing tomorrow."

The three of them got together again for half a day to discuss the advances and retreats and the dishes for tomorrow, and they must always be clean and tidy without being in a hurry.

One day before going to sleep, Song Haonian suddenly remembered something: the daughter-in-law has never studied, how can she understand the greeting card?

If she couldn't understand, how could she say that the man really came to give a thank-you gift, and how did she sound like it?
But at this time, Lily was already asleep on his arm, breathing evenly. He didn't want to wake up his wife, so he had to press his doubts to the bottom of his heart and fell asleep with heavy thoughts.

At the appointed time the next day, Chen Bin came to the door with two servants. He changed into a more refined jade-colored gown. I have saved a lot of family property, and I don’t want to encounter such a disaster before I have time to enjoy it.”

"Thanks to Brother Song's generous help, my uncle is fine. As a nephew, I am also very grateful." Even though he spoke politely.

Song Haonian said: "For those of us who are away from home, when we see difficulties, we must help them if we can, otherwise no one will help us in the future. Uncle Wang is blessed with great destiny, and he is kind and enthusiastic. There is always someone to help him."

Chen Bin smiled and shook his head: "Since I met you, don't talk about others."

Song Haonian was taken aback: "We brothers do things together with a dozen or so brothers, Brother Chen just finds me alone?" Could it be that Uncle Wang really likes him and wants to find him as his son-in-law?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, his face became a little more serious, and he was no longer as friendly as before, and he said seriously: "People say that you don't get rewarded for nothing, and you have helped Uncle Wang before, and he has already thanked me, so how can you accept a gift again?" ?”

Chen Bin looked at him unexpectedly for a long while, and Song Haonian was a little nervous, then he smiled and said, "I was wrong."

He explained: "My uncle and nephew are grateful for the helping hands of all righteous men, and all of them are thankful, not just Brother Song." Otherwise, why did he only bring two loads of things when he brought two big carts?
"However, uncle, the old man, specifically told me that he saw that Brother Song was very popular, so he decided to make friends with me." Chen Bin revealed his real intention of coming, "I have a fortune here, and I want to give it to Brother Song."

Hearing that the brothers who helped each other had their own thank you gifts, Song Haonian felt better, and was a little ashamed of his villainous heart: "I'm sorry, I was just suspicious."

Chen Bin waved his hand to show that he had uncovered the problem, and slowly said the real purpose of the trip: "Uncle sent me to Taiping County to do business, I mean, to open a silk and satin workshop in the county, what does Brother Song think?"

Song Haonian had never been in the silk business before, so he frowned and said, "I'm not familiar with this matter, I'll just say a few words, if it's useful, just listen, if it's wrong, you must not accept it for my sake. "

Chen Bin was still polite: "Brother Song, but it's okay to say."

This person seems to be unable to learn the normal way of communication of the townspeople, Song Haonian sighed, "There used to be two or three silk and satin workshops in the county, all of which were opened by famous people. If Brother Chen wants to open a silk and satin workshop, he must You have to find out the details of these people first, and get the paperwork and government officials ready, so that no one will be envious and framed."

No matter how kind a person is, he would not be happy to see others rob him of his business. Chen Bin is also an outsider, and his relationship in the county cannot be compared with that of the locals. .

Chen Bin grinned, and seemed to understand why his uncle looked at Song Haonian differently: It's easy for a person to be shrewd or pedantic, but it's rare to be so honest and sensitive. Many people have read sage books all their lives, and they don't have such a character.

"Secondly, the channel for purchasing goods is better. If the price is too expensive, others will squeeze it out. If it is too cheap, I'm afraid you will lose money." Song Haonian showed an embarrassed expression, "I wish I wouldn't do business, Chen Big brother is a pro, he must know better than me what to do, that's all I'm saying."

Chen Bin shook his head and said, "It makes sense. I have neglected some things, and I have to make up the loopholes later."

For example, he only remembers to take care of the county officials and government servants, but he forgot to communicate with the local silk merchants. It is not a wise thing to use his wealth to force his way into the local market.

Chen Bin looked at Song Haonian with admiration, and what he said was even more tempting: "Uncle told me that this silk and satin village should be counted as a share of Brother Song, what do you think?"

Song Haonian turned pale with shock: "How did this happen!"

Those who can afford to open a silk and satin shop are all rich and powerful families, how can he have the strength to sit on an equal footing with those people, "I have no money and no connections, and I only have a lot of strength. How can I participate in the shares? Brother Chen, don't make fun of me .”

Chen Bin's face was serious, and for some reason, there was a fierce look: "Brother Song just participates in this stock, and gets [-]% of the dividends every year, isn't it beautiful?"

You don't have to pay any price, you just need to get a name, and [-]% of the silk and satin factory's income will go to Song Haonian every year. Chen Bin expected that no one could resist this temptation. He picked up his tea bowl and sipped tea, "At this time next year, Song Brother, this tea bowl can be replaced by official kiln porcelain."

The silk and satin village has a considerable annual income. If Song Haonian does not take money to participate in the shares, there is no danger of losing money. Doesn't it mean that he will be able to use better equipment next year?
"Thank you, Big Brother Chen, for your kindness. I feel really sorry for the shareholding." Song Haonian shook his head.

These were beyond Chen Bin's expectation. Before he could swallow a sip of tea, he almost spat it out!After finally controlling himself, Chen Bin looked at Song Haonian in disbelief: "Why didn't you agree?"

Obviously, it is a good thing with all benefits and no harm.

Song Haonian said: "I'm a countryman, I haven't read a book, and I still understand some principles. I don't get paid for nothing. Since I didn't help with the affairs of the silk and satin village, I can't get bonuses for nothing. That's not a man. reason."

Chen Bin lowered his face slightly: "Brother Song Gao Yi is certainly admirable, but he doesn't think much about your family?"

daughter in law?

Song Haonian was startled.
