243. Sell insurance
Relying on this fur business alone, how can she save a dowry for Ran Ran? But if the Fang family has never been involved in it, and she wants to be able to make money, she suddenly thought of the word "insurance." ”
told Fang Qirui, and he also thought it was feasible.
Let's start with the trial in the inner courtyard of the Fang family.
Sydney passed on He Jiaxian's order: Because of the large number of people who have been sick recently, although it is convenient to advance wages or something, it is not a long-term solution. Insurance mortgage is introduced. Each person has 500 taels of silver per month, and he can receive 10 taels of silver for serious illness and 2 taels of silver for minor illness. People who are already sick are not included.
"Then if you don't get sick, won't the money be handed over in vain?" the maids looked at each other, not approving.
"If you have not received any money in ten years, you will receive all the money according to the interest of the bank, including the principal and interest. When Sydney said this, many people's hearts were moved.
It's just that people's spending power is limited, but insurance expenses are very necessary, and He Jiaxian has done it for a while and lost money.
After thinking about it, I still can't just nest at home to earn 500 money here and 500 money there, I have to go to the middle of the officials and nobles, and they are willing to have money.
The first to go was still from home, Fang Yuzhu feasted. She was a little embarrassed, but she figured it out again. Fang Yuting, who was divorced at the beginning, is no longer there. All these years have passed.
When she expressed her thoughts, Fang Yuzhu said: "That's right, is it because of the divorce, even I won't see each other......
She hesitated slightly, then agreed.
From the fourth grandmother is still not out of the door much, hearing her coming, because of the rustiness of these years, and not as enthusiastic as before, only a little hello, and went back to the house to rest.
The rest of the female relatives were chattering, and they didn't remember her very much, the second grandmother Fang.
After all, she was so insignificant in the past. In addition to following the fourth grandmother in private, the rest of the time, most of them followed behind the Chen family, only promised, and could not see the light.
seems to know a series of changes in the Fang family in recent years, and He Jiaxian's appearance suddenly became the center of the topic.
"Why is she here, full of bad luck!" Mrs. Xu pursed her lips, as usual with familiar disdain.
"How is it bad luck? People are all dead, and it is not good luck to leave her in a room to gain power. ”
"What kind of luck, I think they can calculate. Starting from Aunt Mei in her family, she is not a good person when she looks at her belly. ”
He Jiaxian could only pretend that he didn't hear it, and walked next to Fang Yuzhu.
A maid wiped past her with soup, and accidentally spilled the soup on He Jiaxian's shirt.
The maid was so frightened that her face was pale, and she hurriedly apologized: "Second Grandma Fang spares her life, spare her life, the slave didn't mean it." ”
"It's okay, I'll just change it. He Jiaxian smiled gently.
The maid had just finished listening to the rumors of the ladies, and she didn't expect He Jiaxian to speak so well, so she was stunned for a moment, and then thanked her.
"Pretend to be a good person. Mrs. Xu sneered: "I look like an iron bucket at home, but when I come out, I pretend to be like a good person." ”
"Mrs. Xu, I don't know if I robbed your husband or dug up your ancestral grave?" He Jiaxian asked coldly.
has been bullied again and again, and even the gods can't bear it.
Mrs. Xu didn't expect her to have such a conversation, and she couldn't react for a while.
"Since we didn't, then we didn't have to wear the hatred of heaven before. He Jiaxian said slowly: "I don't know why Mrs. Xu arranged me like this, and ruined my reputation!"
So I'm waiting here.
Mrs. Xu was so angry that she said what she should say and what she shouldn't say: "Choreographing you?
"What do you do, and you still use me to arrange it?" Mrs. Xu smiled triumphantly, as if she had caught a big mistake: "Second Master Fang of your family, you don't dare to drink flower wine, and you don't dare to go to the kiln." I don't even dare to accept the girl sent by my master! If it weren't for your power, like a tigress, your father would be so faceless outside!"
Lord Xu wanted to join the dry shares of the Fang family's shop, but Fang Qirui did not agree.
Mrs. Xu has always been angry, and today she finally seized the opportunity to ridicule her.
"Mrs. Xu, please respect yourself!" came the scolding voice from the eldest lady in the courtyard.
Mrs. Xu also knew that she had just gotten carried away and said something she shouldn't have said, which was immoral, so she hurriedly lowered her head and stood aside in silence.
The guests saluted the eldest lady one after another.
He Jiaxian's primary target this time is also from the eldest lady.
This is the boss of the women in Yanzhou City, as long as she approves of something, others will naturally rush to it.
Mrs. Xu scowled, but her eyes still glared at He Jiaxian like a knife.
He Jiaxian felt inexplicable, when did he provoke such hatred?
The eldest lady came out and said some words, and called He Jiaxian to the side alone: "Second Grandma Fang, you are Yuzhu's sister-in-law, you should pay attention to some proportions." ”
What kind of proportion? He Jiaxian suddenly lost all interest in selling insurance to her.
Such an indiscriminate person who only cares about maintaining dignity probably can't accept anything new.
A voice came from behind him, smiling: "Auntie's words are bad, Second Grandma Fang didn't say anything, how can she be told to pay attention to proportion." ”
He Jiaxian looked over and saw that it was a lady dressed as the same woman, surrounded by beads and hairpins, so not magnificent, and saluted to He Jiaxian Yingying: "The husband is the young owner of the Zhen family, a porcelain shop in the south of the city...... has business dealings with Fang Erye. ”
Such a frank and naked partiality made He Jiaxian have a good impression of her, and slowly bowed and smiled at each other.
I just don't understand how a niece from a background like the eldest lady can have a niece who is married to a businessman.
The young lady couldn't help but sneer, as if she saw He Jiaxian's doubts: "The second grandmother is really a frank person, everything is written on her face." She approached He Jiaxian and whispered: "I am in love with my husband......"
"Uh-huh!" the eldest lady saw that the more she spoke, the more outrageous she became, and she coughed twice.
The lady didn't care, and smiled: "My name is Ding Yue, and my husband's surname is Zhen." ”
"Mrs. Zhen. He Jiaxian also gave her a smile, and sat with her when she sat at the table, far away from those officials and wives.
They are probably happy too, after all, they despise her from the bottom of their bones.
"Come to my house to play when you have time. I have a lot of good things in my house. Ding Yue smiles when he speaks, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
Except for Ding Yue, the rest of the banquet was suddenly tasteless, and Fang Yuzhu was busy taking care of the children, so she didn't care much about her.
Out of the door of Cong's house, Ding Yue was very enthusiastic and pulled He Jiaxian to her shop to have a look: "Take it back if you like it." ”
He Jiaxian was naturally embarrassed, but he couldn't resist her hospitality, and then he realized that the shop in her mouth was not one, but a whole street.
It turned out to be a super wealthy big family.
"Don't pay attention to that Mrs. Xu, her master is spending all day and drinking outside, and now when he sees your second master taking care of the family honestly, his heart is unbalanced. Ding Yue said in one word.
Only then did He Jiaxian understand where Mrs. Xu's hostility came from.
While speaking, Zhen Sanye came out to meet him, he was very polite and thoughtful, and praised Fang Qirui a lot. sighed: "The second master of your family, just because he has a lot of money but is not greedy, he is respected by many of us." ”
He Jiaxian didn't expect to be put on such a high hat, but was flattered.
In the evening, he naturally took a good look at it, and the surprised Fang Qirui said again and again: "Is this the sun coming out in the west?"
Since the separation, he has been busy supporting the family, and she has been busy taking care of the children, and she has not been very affectionate.
He Jiaxian smiled and said nothing. I don't intend to praise him, save him from being proud.
I also told Ding Yue today, and she and several concubines bought insurance for two hundred taels of silver.
The next day, He Jiahui asked her to go outside the city together, and Chunjiao's case was delayed for almost a year before she was sentenced and exiled for 3,000 miles.
She wanted to take He Changjin to send it off.
Chunjiao has long since lost her former beauty, and her intrigue life over the years has long made her not look like a young man, not much better than Xu's.
She looked at He Changjin greedily with her eyes, wanting to carve his appearance into her bones.
He Jiaxian's heart moved, they are all mothers, and it is inevitable that they will be soft-hearted. took out a purse and handed it to the escort officer: "Take care of some ...... on the way"
Chunjiao had already gritted her teeth and told He Changjin: "...... I must study hard, he will save me when he is in high school!"
He Jiahui snatched the purse, turned it upside down, and said angrily: "You are not afraid that he will come out in the future, there is a murderous mother, which will drag down his future!"
She spat sharply on the ground: "It's really selfish in my bones that sends chills down my spine!"
The two yamen listened to He Jiahui's words, and the disdain in their eyes was also naked, if they said that they didn't care about this prisoner before, they wouldn't have a good face later.
He Jiaxian gave the silver to the two yachas, and said to He Changjin: "...... It's human instinct to survive, and my aunt is just not a selfless person, so don't take it to heart. ”
He Changjin nodded as if he understood, looked at Chunjiao's haggard and sloppy back, and burst into tears.
Chunjiao has sincere love for He Changjin, but it is also a sincere use.
The little one is sensitive, he vaguely knows.
Chunjiao walked a few steps, but came back again, walked to He Jiaxian's side, and said, "You are a kind-hearted person, I have something to tell you." ”
He Jiaxian secretly thought that he really had nothing to do with her.
"You have to guard against Aunt Mei, as long as she doesn't die, you won't be at peace. Chunjiao lowered her voice and said: "At the beginning, although I rescued your father, I was also a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and I would never think of destroying his family." It was Aunt May who found me. Let me spend the master's silver hard, and then instruct the master to go to the Fang family to borrow the silver. Later, the lord agreed to your marriage!"
"Aunt Mei doesn't have any pity for you, so now that the family is ruined, I haven't got a good end!" Chunjiao said with remorse: "If she hadn't listened to her in a ghostly way, and married someone as a wife in a good manner, now she won't be separated from mother and son, and there will be no time to see each other again......" Her tears flowed, and she really regretted it: "In order to achieve her goal, she will not care about other people's lives or deaths!"
He Jiaxian was shocked when he heard this, thinking that Aunt Mei was so angry that she was lying on the sickbed some time ago, looking like "a person is about to die, and his words are also good", choked up and begged Fang Qirui and himself to come back to preside over the housework.
Such a person, in order to make her father promise her to marry into the Fang family, actually came up with such an idea!
The He family is ruined, she is really indispensable!
An indelible fire in the heart, even more so than at that auspicious time, burning in the heart!
In early autumn, He Jiahui came to visit.
"Dad is going to renew the strings, just the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. He Jiahui was expressionless when he mentioned this matter: "Anyway, I won't go back, you can do it yourself!"
He Jiaxian had heard about this matter, but he didn't expect He Jiahui to be so straightforward.
She admired her courage, but she bluntly said that she couldn't do it.
"What about Changjin? He Jiaxian asked.
"He said he would take it back and raise it himself. The newly married one was a widow and had no children, so she would naturally be kind to her. He Jiahui pursed her lips, very disdainful: "Second sister, do you believe it?"
It is useless for He Jiaxian to believe or not believe, He Runian wants a son, and no one can stop him.
In the autumn, Fang Qikai left the field and became the second youngest student in the history of Yanzhou City, just turning sixteen.
The first one is said to have passed at the age of twelve, and later won the top prize.
That was thirty years ago, though.
He Jiaxian began to get busy.
It's time to prepare for the New Year.
Aunt Mei has been raised for more than half a year, and she can get out of bed and walk, but she still looks physically exhausted and doesn't like to go out.
Lu Yin waited for her to dress, cleaned her face, and was about to put on her makeup, Aunt Mei took her lipstick and said, "I'll come by myself, what's the movement in the yard recently?"
Lu Yin looked at Aunt Mei's skillful movements, and said cautiously: "Everything is as usual, except for some people who have been sold, the stewards you arranged before, the ones who are in charge of purchasing, the ones who are in charge of the kitchen, and the Mr. Bookkeeper have not moved." ”
Aunt Mei smiled: "So you see, what if the position is given to her? Adou, who can't be helped, can't be supported, and he can't draw a circle according to the gourd." ”
Lu Yin smiled flatteringly: "That's because the people who were selected by the family were all powerful people, and she would be able to find someone better than them for a while?"
Aunt Mei stopped her hand and said with a frown: "Don't call me a family member anymore, just call me Auntie." ”
In order not to disgust Fang Qirui, the Fang family had already changed their words again.
Lu Yan nodded and agreed, only to be a little dissatisfied: "It's just that my aunt takes the second master seriously, and I see that the second master is really a stone that can't be hot." ”
"You don't understand. Aunt Mei sighed, and said so many words to Lu Yin for the first time: "He is a descendant of the Fang family, and I am just a concubine of the Fang family." He used to listen to me because I was right and beneficial to his life, not because of me, and now he doesn't listen to me because I am in the way of the Fang family, not because I did something wrong. ”
"All this has little to do with whether I am a mother or not, whether he crawled out of my belly. "Aunt Mei is sad.
