140. God-given opportunities

After a round of banquets, Chen got up and poured wine for Master Fang: "Today is the day of family reunion, and he has a big gift to give to him." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chen sighed: "Speaking of which, his business also has two Chinese New Year's Eve nights, and he has not eaten Chinese New Year's Eve with us at home. ”

"The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds. Before his career, he went to study, so he naturally had to suffer a little, otherwise where would he have today's achievements?" Master Fang was still very proud when he mentioned this son: "He is still very able to endure hardships." ”

"That's it. Chen was proud and proud: "Qiye, your father praises you, or you say it yourself, so as not to look like I am a traitor." ”

Master Fang looked at Fang Qiye with anticipation in his eyes.

Fang Qiye said with a smile: "Last time, my father said that the price of that batch of rice and grain was too high to talk about, but my son did. Master Fang's face changed when he heard this, but he didn't interrupt him, and let him continue to say happily: "They asked for 500 yuan a stone, and my father must have been too expensive before, after all, excluding the cost of freight, the average rice is only sold for 700 yuan now." But the son looked at this heavenly way, the beginning of the year must be a great drought, and it will not be possible to plant in spring at that time, and there must be a shortage of rice and grain, and there is a chance to sell it for one or two silver. If you don't stock up now, you won't have anywhere to make up for the shortage when the time comes......"

"Well, go on. Master Fang took a sip of wine, carelessly.

"I checked the accounts of our shop over the years, and saw that although the usual purchase price was 300-400 yuan ago, the highest purchase price was also 500 yuan, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Fang Qiye's eyes shone brightly.

"They have 100,000 stone of rice in stock, which is a lot of money...... Fang Qiye said and spat out: "If we get our hands on it, we won't sell it first, and when there is a shortage of rice and grain in the spring, we will take it out and sell it, and then we will turn over the ......."

"What do you think?" Old Man Fang frowned.

"What are the risks of such a good business?" Fang Qiye was puzzled, and looked at Master Fang and was not very happy: "With the cost of labor freight and warehouse, my son has calculated that it is only 100,000 taels, if my father feels that he can't pull his face if he refuses, his son can talk about it again......"

"I told you not to meddle in this. Master Fang pointed at him: "Why are you so obsessed and don't listen to me." ”

"Yes, yes, his business will hear it, he is just young, and he wants to do big things quickly......" Chen saw that Master Fang's face was not good, and with her understanding, it was probably that Master Fang really believed that Fang Qiye was young and could negotiate such a big business, so he was busy playing a round: "The young man has a good heart......

"Then do things steadfastly, and don't always think about making big business in the first place. Who doesn't start from small things, don't talk about others, just say I'm ......" Master Fang drank some wine, Balabala began to preach, Fang Qiye frowned, and left the table after listening to half of it.

Fang Qirui was already sitting on pins and needles, if He Jiaxian hadn't been sitting on the seat, he would have left a long time ago, and he was busy following Fang Qiye at the moment: "The third brother may not be able to think about it, I'll persuade him." He left in a hurry, which made He Jiaxian laugh secretly, and this excuse was too clumsy.

Bored at night, He Jiaxian thought of what he heard last time on the edge of the corridor, the third young master didn't know who to instruct to get Master Fang's real account book, so he poked Fang Qirui who was yawning on the side: "You say, why do you want to make two accounts in the store." ”

Fang Qirui was half awake from a dream, and muttered: "Just in case, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, if others know the details and take the opportunity to suppress your price, or a little lower than you, won't you suffer." ”

He Jiaxian thought about it, but he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the third brother is really a hero and a young man, and at such a young age, he dares to do a big business of 100,000 taels." Coupled with those that have been negotiated before, he may be a genius in business. ”

"A genius is a genius, but it's a pity, some are too conceited and in a hurry, and they don't know when they will be killed. Fang Qirui didn't know why she suddenly cared about Fang Qiye's affairs, she was drowsy and ran away, and hugged her in her arms: "Don't worry about others, worry more about yourself." ”

"What are you worried about?" He Jiaxian crossed his fingers and thought for a while: "By the way, how is our little shop this year?" There was no harvest in the field, and all her hopes were on the shop.

"It's okay, it's okay. Fang Qirui's fingers wrapped around her fingers: "Winter clothes are heavy and expensive, they can't be sold, I don't get in, just wait for the beginning of spring." Otherwise, you see me so idle, accompanying you all day long. ”

"Is there a lot of stock?" He Jiaxian pinched his fingers and played: "Actually, you don't have to wait until the beginning of spring to sell spring clothes, you can sell them now." ”

"It's so cold to sell now, who will buy it?" Fang Qirui disagreed.

"You can sell inventory now, last year's inventory. She remembers doing it all in the mall.

"Last year, there was no inventory. Fang Qirui smiled helplessly: "You sit in the house all day, but you will take it for granted." Our shop is small and not taken seriously, we all take the goods from the big stores and sell them, and if we can't sell them out, we will return them to the big stores, they all know and won't say anything. ”

"That big store also has stock, you go and get it, sell it cheaper, many poor families or people who are not rich enough, will buy clothes out of season. He Jiaxian smiled: "It's cheap, it's new, it's just that the time to buy it is a little earlier, but you can wear it after waiting a little, how can you not buy it?"

"......" Fang Qirui didn't answer, but fell into thought, and said after a while: "After the sixth day of junior high school, I'll ask." That's when people started to take to the streets. ”

The two of them talked for a while, and Jixiang called outside: "Second master, second grandmother, set off fireworks." ”

That's New Year's Eve.

The two men put on their cloaks and stood at the door, and the steward's door began to set off fireworks into the air, brilliant and bright, and the fire trees were silver.

He Jiaxian gently rested his head on Fang Qirui's shoulder, and Fang Qirui helped her gather a shawl: "It's the new year, marry me, thank you for your hard work." ”

He Jiaxian's nose was sore, and tears were hidden in his eyes, but he tried not to let it fall: "When can it not be so hard." ”

Fang Qirui didn't answer, just sighed deeply and hugged her tighter.

He Jiaxian didn't speak again, she knew that they didn't even say anything about it. Even if they don't want anything and leave the house, I'm afraid that Master Fang won't agree, and they will become notorious and unscrupulous. It was only when they were separated that they were freed. However, there are also old people who live a long life, five generations in the same house, and hundreds of people in a big family, who can't share the family.

Besides, Master Fang is now in the prime of life, so he doesn't have to think about it in a short time.

In the smoke and haze, the two of them leaned closely, and He Jiaxian vaguely heard Fang Qirui whispering in his ear in the crackling sound of the earth-shattering: "What you can't do is unpredictable for your husband, and what you can't do will be given to you by your husband." In this life, we will not lose each other!"

He Jiaxian's tears could no longer be hidden, and fell straight down his cheeks.

Because of her parents' failed marriage, she once believed that "if you want to have no hatred in your eyes, you don't believe that there is a white head in the world." ”

But Fang Qirui made her want to give it a try without hesitation. Perhaps, there is really affection, but it can be white-headed.

Such an ordinary person, when he talks about love seriously, it is really exciting.

He Jiaxian thought quietly, and the tears on his cheeks were wiped away by the warm and rough fingertips: "Why are you still crying." ”

"Who knew you would say something like that while I was watching the fireworks. He Jiaxian twisted and shy: "I'm not ready." ”

"But do you want to say it again for your husband? Fang Qirui helped her wipe away her tears, picked her up, turned around and went to the house, leaving Jixiang, Sydney, Mengli and other maids and women in the yard looking at each other, but they all smiled tacitly in an instant.

He Jiaxian's head was buried in his neck, and he didn't dare to raise it in shame: "Then you can say it." ”

Fang Qirui gently put her on the bed, bullied her, licked her sensitive earlobes, and made the wonderful people under her couldn't help but tremble, before she smiled proudly, her lips lingered in her ears, and she said softly: "I...... Fang Qirui...... ...... this life"

He Jiaxian's heart was beating wildly, like a deer in his chest, and he didn't dare to come out of the nervous atmosphere, just waiting for him to repeat Fang Cai's sentence "Never fail you!"

“…… Life...... Resolutely not to accept concubines!!" The gentle murmur in his ears suddenly turned into a loud announcement, He Jiaxian was caught off guard, and was blown up by his loud voice, and the oath that he had expected came out of his mouth like a funny, and he was so angry that he pushed him, turned his head and got up and walked out.

As soon as he walked to the middle of the house, he clearly heard an explosive burst of laughter outside, and he became more and more embarrassed, turned around and rushed to the bed to cover his head with a quilt, and was so ashamed that he couldn't afford it for a long time.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the joke of Tinglan Courtyard spread all over the big and small corners of the Fang family. said that the second master drank too much on Chinese New Year's Eve and confessed to the second grandmother, and the loud voice could be heard by the whole house, "Resolutely not take concubines!" Many subordinates learned vividly in private, and their eyes were full of envy for He Jiaxian.

Chen listened with a straight face: "The second child is getting more and more disagreeable." Don't accept concubines, he doesn't count!" Master Fang just smiled on the side: "It's a good thing that the children have a good relationship, what are you angry about." ”

Chen Shi hurriedly changed his smiling face: "Aren't I afraid of delaying the incense? The second daughter-in-law has not seen good news for a long time......

"I saw yesterday that she looked very good, she was in good health, and it was only a matter of time before she got pregnant, so don't interfere. Master Fang briefly advised.

The children all got up early today, and came to greet Master Fang and the Chen family according to the order, and he was beautiful, Master Fang looked at the daughters who were slim, and the sons were sensible and capable, and even the second child, who had always been prodigal, stayed at home for many days in a row, and praised He Jiaxian twice.

After getting the red envelope and having breakfast, they dispersed. The men went out to pay New Year's greetings to their uncles and brothers and friends, and the women were at home to entertain guests.

He Jiaxian didn't have any guests, it was nothing more than Fang Qiye, Fang Yulu, Fang Qikai and a few other small ones who came over and said auspicious words and received red envelopes. She went to Zhou's place again to pay New Year's greetings and received a red envelope.

Then I went to Aunt Mei's. After thinking about it, I went to take a look at Aunt Feng again, but it was just a gesture, but Aunt Feng was moved like something: "Since Yujing made a mistake, the master didn't allow us to go out, and even your sister was detained in the house all day long, where would anyone think of us and come to see us." It's hard for you to have a heart. ”

He Jiaxian handed a red envelope to Fang Yujing, and said with a smile: "It would be good if my father's anger disappeared after a while." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Fang Yujing took it and thanked her, and without saying much, her expression was calm.

I didn't see Fang Yujing at dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve yesterday, and He Jiaxian made up his mind to come over and take a look: "My sister is very well-behaved now, learning words and embroidery, and my father will be very surprised if he sees her." ”

"Then you have to have a chance to see it. Aunt Feng was helpless: "Since Miss Fifth came back from the Buddhist Hall, Mrs. handed me over to discipline me on the grounds that she was ignorant, and said that the courtyard was too crowded with so many people, and Aunt Mei was not resting well, but the courtyard of Miss Fifth was not allowed to live, and drove us to this remote corner, and the master would not pass by for hundreds of years, how could it be seen." ”

Chen's embarrassment, He Jiaxian had given Fang Yujing a preventive injection before, so the two of them accepted it and never said anything. Occasionally, Sydney gets news from elsewhere, and she will gossip with He Jiaxian, which is nothing more than the Chen family making things difficult for them in terms of food and clothing. Because I had a psychological expectation, I was not surprised, after all, Chen didn't do anything meaner.

"I'm fine, but I can't see anyone in this way, Miss Five's temperament is getting quieter and quieter, she doesn't speak all day, except for writing and embroidering, she just sits in the corner in a daze, I'm afraid that if this continues, she will be thin and withdrawn, how can she marry when the time comes?" Aunt Feng was worried.

That's right. He Jiaxian also found that Fang Yujing didn't like to talk, and he didn't care about the snacks she brought.

"Auntie, don't you think Miss Fifth looks better when she's slimmed?"

He Jiaxian relieved Aunt Feng's heart: "In more than a year, it will be good to tell my fifth sister a good in-law and marry out." ”

"I'm not married. Fang Yu was silent and suddenly threw out such a sentence.

"Yes, Madame hates Yujing to death, but I'm afraid she won't find any good people for her. Aunt Feng smiled bitterly: "Look at what we eat and wear now, where is there still Miss Fang's appearance." ”

She didn't say it, He Jiaxian could also see it. In addition to a mother-in-law doing some hard work in the yard, and then the big maid who has been serving Aunt Feng follows. Liu Duo, the maid who Fang Yujing used to take care of, has been sent out, and her whereabouts are unknown, and the Chen family has never sent anyone over, so when the mother-in-law is too busy, many things need to be done by Aunt Feng herself.

Look at the dilapidated courtyard and the ordinary lamp oil used in the house, and the face will be blackened after a while, and the lampstand will be greasy...... She didn't see it, but looking at the slightly better material on Aunt Feng's body than the maid, she knew that it was not much better.

"......" He Jiaxian is not good at saying anything.

"If the master can't remember Miss Five, I'm afraid that my little softness is not enough to pawn. Aunt Feng frowned.

He Jiaxian was a little surprised. She thought that the treatment was worse, but at least she had no worries about food and clothing, but listening to Aunt Feng's meaning, she was even short of food and clothing.
