Chapter 141: Big Brother Dies, Part 1
When it was almost dawn, Shui Ruoqian was woken up again, saying that the mother-in-law who passed by on duty found the eldest young master lying unconscious at the door of the study, and when he rushed over, he had been helped into the room next to the study, his forehead was broken, and the surroundings were dark, and Wang's mother covered his forehead, and said to Shui Ruoqian worriedly, "It seems to be a fever." "
Without waiting for the doctor to invite over, Yan came over, and when he saw his son lying there, he turned his head and scolded Shui Ruoqian for not taking good care of him, and Shui Ruoqian didn't want to explain anything, so he ordered his subordinates to cook the sobering soup first, and then went back to the house to get a change of clothes for him.
Shen Shijin's illness came suddenly, and after waking up, even he couldn't remember how he fell at the door of the study, he only remembered getting off the carriage and returning to Shen's house, having some disputes with Shui Ruoqian, and then leaving to do something, his mind was blank.
Because he had been lying on the ground for two hours and suffering from the cold, Shen Shijin had a high fever, and it took four or five days for his body to get better, and the wound on his forehead had not completely faded after half a month.
And in these days of recuperation, Shen Shijin felt that his wife's attitude had become very strange, in the past, there would always be some friction between the two of them, and disputes were common, but in the past few days, she was very cold to herself, so cold that she was too lazy to say a word, and she responded to requests but never gave him any look except coldness.
But he couldn't remember the content of those disputes, and he couldn't pull his face to ask her, so the two of them were so estranged
The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to worry.
It's just that he has only been down for more than a month, and the injury on his forehead has just recovered, and something happened to the branch in Huizhou.
The 50,000 taels of silver lasted for more than a year and finally couldn't hold on, and without the silver to do the back, several people in Huizhou relied on the Bai family to develop some development in the timber business, and united to suppress the Huizhou branch.
It was originally a strong encroachment on the market there, and without the support of everyone in Huizhou, the business progress of the branch was not easy, and now it has been suppressed, and it is even more difficult to move an inch.
It is very easy for a branch to close down in Huizhou, in the past few years, many people in Jinling have failed to try to have a place in Huizhou, and Shen Shijin has lasted for a long time in the past four years.
The Shui family didn't want to continue to cooperate, and wished that he could get out as soon as possible and minimize the loss, so now he didn't plan to save the branch when he saw that the branch was going to close.
With the current Shen family alone, Shen Shijin can only give up the Huizhou branch.
For the Shui family, there is an investment and a return in the early stage, and in general, the loss is not big, but for Shen Shijin, the silver he smashed into it back and forth, and the last bit of silver he has recovered after the collapse is not enough, such a big loophole has almost emptied all his savings over the years.
This is the huge drop caused by the sudden fall when he has been hovering in the sky for a long time, and he is difficult to accept, but he has to face it
The Huizhou branch was closed, Shen Shijin sold two-thirds of the industry in private, and only one Shen family firm was left to support it, Yan was good at managing general affairs but not good at business, she almost responded to her son's requests, Shen Shijin said that he was short of silver, Yan didn't say a word, and gave Shen Shijin 10,000 taels of silver.
This is still the silver that the Yan family has been in charge of the Shen family for all these years, if you talk about her dowry, where is there so much, and giving this silver to her son means that the Shen family's living standard will drop a lot for a long time.
All this happened, but there was no movement in the old man's yard, he still raised his flowers and plants, teased his birds, and occasionally Shen Shixuan came over to accompany him to play a game of chess pieces, most of the time, he was accompanied by Jiang Steward, deaf to what happened outside, and had a good and uncomfortable life.
Time flies quickly, at the end of March, the merchant ship came back, Master Shen brought good news this time, in the two months of sailing, he opened up a new business path for the Shen family firm, adding several goods, hoping to make things in the firm more ingenious.
Hearing the news of the closure of the Huizhou branch, Master Shen breathed a sigh of relief, although he felt sorry for the amount of money he had invested at the beginning, but when he thought that he didn't need to continue to throw it away, Master Shen felt that it was better to go out of business.
Shen Shijin looked at the few things on the table and frowned, "Dad, you said that you want us to push these things to others." ”
Master Shen handed the booklet to the steward on the side and nodded, "That's right, these two things have appeared in Jinling, and these early Jinlings have also appeared, but they are gone later, and these things need to be introduced to them." ”
Shen Shijin picked up the exquisitely carved jar and opened it, and there was a burst of floral fragrance wafting out of it, and the smell was refreshing, "The Shen family has never wanted to introduce things to them in person, in the past, they would come to place orders as soon as we had a new one, so why do we need to introduce it in person." ”
Master Shen glanced at him, picked up a relatively large jar, and opened it, this is a fruity fragrance, very strong, but not tired, "Then you can learn how to tell them how to tell them the value of these things, and tell them that these things will definitely sell well in Jinling." ”
"I'm not going." Shen Shijin refused bluntly, what a shame, when did the Shen family live like this, he still had to beg others to place an order in such a low voice.
"If you don't go, you have to go!" Master Shen understands much more clearly than Old Man Shen, "Do you think that the Shen family is still the same as before, how can a businessman put on such a lofty posture, do others owe you, you must place an order here, in the past, when these businesses were just starting, they were to beg others to buy goods from us one by one, if you don't go, if you don't go, this business house won't be handed over to you in the future." ”
Shen Shijin smiled, "If you don't give it to me, you still want to give it to the second brother." ”
Master Shen looked at him now, and said cruelly, "Give it to him, give it to him, at least I don't have to worry about this business firm can't be saved, you see for yourself what you look like now, you don't have the slightest heart on this, you are thinking about it all day long and don't know anything, you just hold on to everything, you can't catch it, you will only hurt your hand in the end." ”
"I'm not your son yet!" Shen Shijin suddenly yelled at Master Shen, the repeated blows in the past few days have made him impatient, he is in a hurry, but the father does not help him at all.
"If it weren't for my son, you would still be able to stand here so unharmed today and speak!" The two fathers and sons quarreled like this, and the gentle Lord Shen on weekdays also had the inheritance of Old Man Shen in his temper, and the house was full of gunsmoke, and no one dared to go in and disturb the few stewards outside the house.
The door slammed open in the middle of the sound, Shen Shijin rushed out with a gloomy face, and the old man Shen in the room also had a blue face, and before the stewards could react, the old man Shen suddenly covered his chest with his hands, sat on the chair with a painful face, and fainted
Shen Shixuan It had been a day when they knew about this, Second Master Shen went to the Shen family to understand the situation first, and the next day Chu Yiyao followed Shen Shixuan to Shen's house to see Master Shen, and saw Master Shen who was lying on the bed and had woken up, Chu Yiyao was not surprised now, for the fact that the uncle was fainted, Chu Yiyao even felt that this was what Shen Shijin would do.
Master Shen's momentum is a little injured, the doctor's suggestion is to cultivate for a few days, and to maintain peace of mind is the key to the supremacy, where can Master Shen rest assured, this is still the second master Shen is forcing him, no matter how important things in the business bank are, can they be more important than the fate?
Old Man Shen also came to see him, and without saying anything else, he persuaded him, "Just rest when you should rest, there will always be a day when the toss will stop." ”
When I heard this, another meaning in my ears became that he would be defeated, and there would always be a day when he would be defeated, and when he was defeated, he would stop.
