Chapter Ninety-Six: Buying and Leaving
"Sister-in-law, how is my brother doing lately?"
Hu Mingzhao just asked, Hu Mingyan had a cold a few days ago, and he was better in the past two days.
Lin Shuli turned her head to look at Hu Mingzhao, she had always been at odds with Hu Mingzhao, and always felt that the second young master Hu was deliberately trying to replace Hu Mingyan, not counting how much she said about Hu Mingzhao in Hu Mingyan's ear, but Hu Mingyan didn't believe it.
He always firmly believed that they were all family, and it was impossible for Hu Mingzhao to do anything to be sorry for him.
But the dragon gave birth to nine sons, all of them are different, not to mention this human heart.
Lin Shuli said that enough was enough, and persuaded enough, so she simply slept in a separate room with Hu Mingyan, which is a well-known secret in Hu's mansion.
Although Hu Mingzhao mentioned it casually, it stirred up thousands of splashes in Lin Shuli's heart.
"How do you remember to care about your eldest brother's body?"
Could it be that Hu Mingzhao is just waiting for Hu Mingyan to fall seriously ill and die with a whimper?
Hu Mingzhao felt Lin Shuli's hostility towards him, so he just chuckled, "Did my sister-in-law misunderstand me?"
Lin Shuli chuckled, if there is a misunderstanding, there will be no misunderstanding at this time.
Glancing at Hu Mingzhao, Lin Shuli turned her head and walked up to Hu Mingyan, took out a handkerchief and prepared to wipe the sweat beads on her head for him, her voice was delicate, "Xianggong, don't be tired of yourself." ”
This frightened Hu Mingyan, and he turned his head sideways to avoid Lin Shuli's movements.
Hu Mingzhao, who was standing in place, watched the movements of the husband and wife, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
Although Lingyanlou is now under the management of Hu Mingyan, and Hu Mingzhao has become an idle man, the business he is really in charge of is far more than a little bit.
Even if he doesn't have Lingyan Tower, there will be the next Lingbo Tower, Mingyan Tower.
It's just that he doesn't want to, Hu Mingzhao always feels that it's not yet time for him to really perform.
It's just that in the past two years, he and Shen Hai and Shen Shan brothers have opened a gambling shop, and they are still living well, but they need more money to get through various matters.
After a while, Hu Mingzhao went to the gambling house, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Shen Hai's shout in the casino inside, "Buy big and buy small!"
After Hu Mingzhao walked in, he saw Shen Hai actually leading everyone to play.
Shen Hai, who was originally mixed in the Hualou Casino, has been drunk and dreamed of death in the gambling house in the past three years, and went to Shen's house to steal when he had no money, and after stealing twice, he was caught by Zhou Youyi again.
Only this time, Zhou Youyi directly asked someone to beat him fifty boards, and he lay half-dead on the bed for two whole months before he was good.
Since then, Shen Hai has planted a grudge against Zhou Youyi, and he has never returned to Shen Mansion to steal anything.
Even if you don't have any money, it's just stealing someone else's money bag on the road.
Kang's is not unaware of these things about Shen Hai, and he also came to ask Shen Hai to go back, as long as he apologizes to Zhou Youyi, everything can be settled, but Shen Hai is biased, he only wants him to go back, unless Zhou Youyi leaves the Shen family.
Kang's is not stupid, Zhou Youyi's courage to do business, she sees it in her eyes, if Zhou Youyi really leaves the Shen Mansion and hands over all the current business of the Shen Mansion to Shen Hai to take care of, I am afraid there is only one situation, and that is bankruptcy.
So much so that later, Kang also gave up this son.
It was not born by himself, it was just because he wanted him to change his ways because he was raised by himself, since Shen Hai was unwilling, the Kang family also thought that the Shen family did not have this son.
As for Shen Shan, he opened a cloth village on the edge of Beicheng for three years, because the price of cloth was very low first, and the people on the north side praised him as a good person, but in less than seven days, Shen Shan saw that the cloth village was not making money, so he raised the price of cloth a lot, and the people of Beicheng could not afford it, and several times of communication was fruitless.
Until one night, I don't know who burned the cloth house.
When Shen Shan arrived at Beicheng Buzhuang, he only saw the fire that filled the sky.
Since then, Shen Shan's other two cloth shops have been doing worse business day by day, and finally they can only close their doors and sell all the fabrics in the store to other cloth houses.
Later, Zhou Youyi's cloth village became bigger and bigger, from one shop to the current five stores, from one embroidery girl to now have fifty embroidery girls, those small cloth villages have also closed their doors, and the rest of the fabrics were resold to Zhou Youyi one by one, including Shen Shan's fabrics.
Although Zhou Youyi "ate" other cloth villages, the price she gave for the purchase of cloth village fabrics has far exceeded the purchase price of those fabrics. So much so that now, Zhou Youyi's fame, whether in the cloth village or in the winery, as long as others mention it, they are all praise for her.
Although the Kang family didn't say it, he had already relieved himself to hand over the power of the Shen family to Zhou Youyi, but he felt more and more that Shen Chengyi's insistence on Shen Che marrying Zhou Youyi was the most correct.
As for the tofu shop in Baicheng, there is still only one, but it makes a certain amount every day, and all of them are sold out in less than half an hour after opening every day.
There were many guests who asked him to make more tomorrow because they couldn't buy Bai Cheng's tofu because they were late, but Bai Cheng never agreed, no matter whether the person offered ten taels of silver or ten taels of gold, but the daily fresh tofu of Shen Mansion never stopped.
Hu Mingzhao walked into the courtyard behind the gambling house, where Shen Shan and Shen Hai lived.
Lifting the curtain, the sunlight outside the house suddenly stabbed into the house, Shen Shan hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, and said unhappily, "What kind of person, can't you see Uncle Ben resting?"
The curtain was lowered again, and Hu Mingzhao stood in front of Shen Shan, looking at this well-dressed son two years ago, but Shen Shan in front of him was wearing a subordinate cloth, his whole body was sloppy, and he had no image of the spirit of the past, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a beggar on the side of the road.
"Second son Shen, you plan to stay in this nest all the time, it's been two years, and you haven't stayed enough?"
Hu Mingzhao looked at the room, and there was no place to put his feet at all.
The Hu family's subordinate rooms are far cleaner and tidier than this house.
"Enough, of course I haven't stayed enough, I'm going to stay here for the rest of my life. ”
Since Shen Shan came to this gambling house, he has never gone out, but he doesn't love gambling, he just lies down and reads a book about the strange stories in the market all day long. So much so that when he dreamed, he was chattering with gods, either talking about fox fairies or snake demons.
Xiao Er, who works in this gambling house, only thinks that he is a nervous person, and he only leaves after delivering food to the house every day, and rarely talks to him.
