Chapter 3 The Flower Family
Wang Wei sat on the brocade in front of the red lacquer dresser and looked at herself in the mirror, she has been here for ten days, and these days she has knocked on the side of the two maids around her to figure out the identity of this body and some of the situations here.
It is now the sixteenth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and when I heard the Great Zhou Dynasty, I was excited for a while, thinking that I had come to the Tang Dynasty Wu Zetian period, and I was busy asking Emperor Helu if it was Wu Cao, looking at the little girl's frightened eyes, I had to say that I was teasing her
When I was in school, I didn't learn history well, I only knew the famous dynasties of Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing, and I also knew the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and it was not clear which five dynasties and ten kingdoms were specific, so it is really unclear whether the current Great Zhou Dynasty existed in history
This is a small town similar to Jiangnan Town, the name is very Jiangnan flavor called Liuxi Town, don't look at the town is not big but very prosperous, the reason is that there is good wine here, the famous big families in the town are all open big wineries, and there are countless wine workshops opened by other small households.
Wine merchants from all over the country love to come here to get wine, and the royal wine "Beauty Drunk" comes from the Fan family in the east of the town.
The Fan family's "Pinxuan Winery" has naturally become the most famous winery in the town, followed by the "Furun Winery" of the Liu family in the west of the town, the "Yundu Winery" and "Yunze Winery" of the Zhennan Hua family, and the "Minzhuang" of the Min family in the north of the town.
The two wineries of the Hua family did not belong to one, in the early years, there was only "Yunze Winery", and later when the mansion was divided, the old lady gave the old house to the eldest son, and the "Yunze Winery" was divided to the second son. To the old lady is not partial to the youngest son, Shinong businessmen, businessmen are the lowest, the old lady thinks that the family has a scholar who can not only glorify the lintel, but also let the eldest son go on the official path, and the younger son's life can go more smoothly, although the Fan family's wine is good, if it is not for someone in the court, it is impossible to be as smooth as the royal wine
Who would have thought that after the eldest nineteen-year-old showed talent, he was no longer embarrassed to let the family raise even if he failed the exam, his wife Min is the daughter of the Fujian family in the north of the town, and he has heard and seen the winemaking craft since he was a child, and the husband and wife have opened a "Yundu" wine workshop
Don't look at the boss who is not good at studying, but he is a good hand at business, coupled with the assistance of his wife, the business is booming, and the ten-year kung fu workshop has become a winery, even surpassing his younger brother
The business exceeds the younger brother, but the heirs are not as prosperous as the younger brother, the wife has not moved since giving birth to the eldest son, and he has not taken a concubine for his business, the younger brother has a wife and three concubines and has four sons and two daughters, and his wife is the third son next to the Liu family in Zhenxi, the eldest Hua Jiaqi and the second Hua Jiaqi are born to the concubine Ding, and the two daughters are born to Liu's dowry girl.
Originally, the two brothers were close to each other, and the elder brother had a lot of support for the younger brother's life, although the two families were divided but it was like a family, in order to make it easier to distinguish, in private, the house slaves called the old house Dongfu, and the newly built house to the west of the old house was called Xifu
Hua Jiajun, the young master of Dongfu, took over the winery business after his father's death, and developed several new varieties with his ability and shrewd mind since he was a child. The winery in Xifu is managed by the eldest son Hua Jialu, but he has not made much achievements over the years, and he has kept some old recipes handed down from his ancestors to live.
She is the eldest lady of Dongfu, Hua Qianyue, thirteen years old, that little boy was his only younger brother Hua Qianshu, eight years old, and his mother Gu's maiden family is a big family in Jiangnan, how could the daughter of such a big family marry the son of a businessman? It turns out that this Gu family was born in Tongfang, and her biological mother was gone after birth, although her mother has always regarded her as her own, and her eldest sister loves her a lot, but she has a soft temperament.
In fact, this is also understandable, other sisters may be able to rely on the favored biological mother, she is a person who has no dependence to survive, I am afraid that this is the only way, and over time such a character has been formed
Master Gu is an official in Beijing, once returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors and met the boss of the Hua family in the same class, seeing that although his son is a businessman, he can look like a star-eyed sword, thinking that his daughter's temperament is not suitable for marrying into a wealthy family, if he marries this son, although he is married, the other party is a son-in-law and the population is simple, and secondly, the mother's family with such a family will not have anyone to look at in a businessman's house.
Master Gu intends to get married, of course Boss Hua can't ask for it, and there is no reason for him to disagree if he wants to marry him
I have to say that this old man Gu is still very discerning, Gu's life is indeed very happy after marriage, the only fly in the ointment is that his daughter has a hot temper and a rushing temperament, and there is no gentle and lovely person that a daughter's family should have.
Three months ago, Hua Jiajun went out to make a living and encountered a typhoon, the ship sank to the bottom of the river, and no one survived. The tough old lady of Hua Mu fell ill on the spot, and the Gu family was at a loss, but fortunately, Hua Jiaqi, the fourth elder of Xifu, helped to handle Hua Jiajun's funeral
The next thing is a bit old-fashioned, first lost the sunken payment, and then received a return letter from the major trading houses, which is also understandable, after all, the winery has no principal, everyone is a businessman, businessmen seek profits, and when their own interests are not guaranteed, it is normal to leave
But Xifu's behavior is a little ridiculous, they see that their cousin is helping to take care of the winery, although now the vitality is hurt and the business is bleak, but with so many secret recipes in hand, it is not a matter of time before it comes back? I'm afraid that in the end, so much property will fall into the hands of my brother-in-law, and I will find an excuse that "Yundu Winery" is the property of the Hua family, and it should be in charge of the Hua family. Hua Qianyue was injured because Xifu came to make trouble again, Hua Qianyue's temper came up and there was a dispute, and in the chaos, I don't know who pushed her, knocked on the corner of the table and fainted
