Chapter 38: Comparing the Heart with the Heart (4)
Crimson's words made her feel empowered. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Before she finished speaking, she said, "Don't you have a living example in front of you?" ”
"You?" she was stunned.
Crimson smiled mysteriously, and her gaze became a little distant, and there was no lack of bitterness in it.
In ancient times, women emphasized three obedience and four virtues, and most of the marriage contracts were at the behest of their parents. This Chongyang country is already considered to be open to the people, and some have already met and even known each other before marriage, but whether there is love between them, everyone is married like this, and there are very few who really marry after free love. Fortunately, after marriage, you can really cultivate feelings, or at least the right family, and everyone can respect each other like guests and live in harmony until old age. Unfortunately, if a woman from a poor family is beautiful, she is sometimes forced to sell herself to a rich family as a concubine due to a difficult life. Crimson is even the latter.
She was also considered to be wealthy, there was a shop at home, and her parents were engaged in small business. Because she is the only daughter in the family and an old child, her parents have treated her like a pearl in the palm of her hand since she was a child. Parents are honest, and doing business is a real small business. Later, my father should not be deceived by traitors, money, if you don't have to hurt the heavens and reason, you can still make a million profits, who wouldn't be tempted?
Of course, it's not a panacea, but this time my father thought he had met two nobles. A wealthy man said that he heard that his father was an honest man who was sincere in business, and he didn't want to ask for other families, so he asked his father to order at a high price. An honest face, but also with the father of the business of the supplier of several deals, said that someone else ordered the goods and changed the hexagram, if these goods can not be sold will be lost, begging the father to use a very low price to take the goods in his hands. And the supply and demand on these two sides are the same batch of goods, it is said to be a coincidence, and the difference in the price that can be earned in the middle is indeed several times more than usual, which is very attractive. My father also thought twice before deciding to use all the cash on hand to take over the large amount of goods that their shop could not afford and take over this big job.
As a result, on the supplier's side, only one box of goods inspected by my father was magically good, and the rest were all defective goods, and the people took the money and ran away. Here, the father agreed to the rich merchant, but in the end he could not deliver the goods with shoddy quality, but the rich merchant changed his face at the beginning, took out the deed of the order, and forced his father to make compensation with the shop and the house. My father became ill. I heard that the rich merchant bought the goods from the man who ran away as soon as he turned around, and he did not lose anything at all. At that time, the young Crimson went to the door alone with her parents behind her back to theorize, but heard the rich businessman say this.
"If you want to blame it, your father is ignorant, not cautious and gullible. It's not that I deliberately want to deceive him, it's just that this list is written in black and white, and if the goods can't be delivered by the time, I will have to pay three times the compensation. You can go out and ask about my personality, everyone knows that I am rich and bold enough, but I also have a hard temper, this is a business, and I will not talk about human favors when I say it. Your father can't deliver the goods this time, if I hadn't found other suppliers, my loss would have been great, far from being made up for by your father handing over the shop and house to compensation. But this is no coincidence. Later, I also inquired about how it was so coincidental, and learned that the supplier was not originally looking for the door to deceive your father. But your father himself leaked the news that I happened to have a large order here. That person is not from my country, this time he originally lost money, he was going to dump the goods to your father, and go back to the countryside to farm, but he was jealous of your father, why did your father have a good life, and those who asked for goods at high prices and those who supplied at low prices came to the door at the same time. And because of his jealousy, the man had a temporary evil will. He first cheated your father of the money for the goods, and then took the initiative to find the goods when I was in a hurry, and I couldn't care so much at that time, and I also doubled the price to get the spot in the man's hand. ”
Hearing this, the young Crimson was also stunned. Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with wealthy businessmen. The worst thing is that the supplier who has run away without a trace, but he was also an honest man, but in the end, he ended up killing her father, who was also an honest man. And her father was also at fault, and the fault was that he should not leak such a great good thing to a poor honest man who failed in the transaction, and forced the honest man to have a bad heart because of jealousy. After all, the rich businessman was right, and her father was ignorant, not cautious and gullible to blame. Even if Daddy was more cautious when inspecting the goods, he would not ask that person to be shoddy. In the final analysis, his father is too honest, and he is really not suitable for this big village that knows people and has a big risk if they are not good.
And this wealthy businessman is tough and has his own principles when doing business, and he is also kind in private. Knowing that Crimson's father was seriously ill and that the family could only temporarily settle in a dilapidated house that no one else wanted, he promised to let them go back to his old house for the time being, and gave them ten taels of silver for emergency relief. The wealthy businessman also felt that Crimson was bold and reasonable at a young age, and dared to come to the door by himself, and he didn't mess around after hearing about the reason for the matter. The rich merchant agreed with Crimson that when her father was better, the rich merchant hired Crimson to be a shopkeeper in his shop, and in the future he would use her wages to repay the ten taels and redeem their deed little by little.
So this rich businessman is really a noble person in their family.
Unfortunately, Crimson was still too young and ignorant at the time, and when she returned home, because her parents wondered why she could move back to the old house, she told her parents all the reasons why she couldn't blame the rich businessman for this matter. As a result, my father was even more difficult to solve because of self-blame, and the medicine stone was useless, so he went.
After helping her mother take care of her father's funeral, Jiang Hong originally planned to go to the rich merchant's shop to do things as agreed. No, my father is gone, my mother is sick, and the doctor says that time is running out. On the one hand, the wife of a wealthy merchant also died in childbirth. Added up, Crimson offered to marry a wealthy businessman as a continuation, and the dowry asked the wealthy businessman to return the deed. In this way, after her mother goes, she can bring news to her father, so that his father can know, and they can also go with peace of mind, and learn that their daughter will at least have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
Speaking of which, this rich businessman is really too much older than Crimson, Crimson was only thirteen years old at the time, and the rich businessman was almost forty. In addition to the genuine lady who died in childbirth, there were three concubines and five children among the wealthy merchants. The eldest of them is also a young lady, both two years older than Crimson, and they have already talked about marriage, and they are scheduled to get married at the beginning of the year.
Crimson is already slender at a young age, and she is also a solid family, with white skin and beautiful appearance, and her cultivation has to be guided by some famous teachers. The rich businessman didn't despise Crimson, but since Crimson took the initiative to propose it, the rich businessman didn't refuse.
In this way, Crimson married a wealthy businessman as a continuation and accompanied the wealthy businessman for nearly ten years until the rich businessman died the year before last. This glazed pavilion was the last thing that the rich merchant left to Crimson, and Crimson did not compete with the rich merchant's original concubines and children for any of the family property.
