"This house is five in and five out, it was originally the house of an old man of the ministry, because he returned to his hometown and sold it, the lord went to see it himself, and he bought it if he thought it was good."

The county lord briefly introduced the situation of the house, since it was allocated to Qi Lingyi's family, it must be satisfactory to the family.

"The layout of the house is very elegant, quite the charm of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River. The lord said that you have lived in the south all these years, you should like it. This is not the most wonderful, the most satisfying thing for the lord is the location of the house. ”

The county lord pretended to smile mysteriously, and stretched out his hand to point to the garden on the side of Xuanrui Hall, "The southwest corner gate of your new courtyard is just connected to the garden, and if it is opened, we will be a family again." On weekdays, if you want to come and talk to me, you can come with your leg raised, which is very cheap. ”

When Hu Shi heard this, he was very happy, and stroked his palms and said: "That's really good, just now I was thinking about letting Brother Yan and his daughter-in-law go to live in a new house, and I'll just lie on my sister-in-law with a shy old face." My sister-in-law has always been generous, so she won't kick me out, right? Anyway, I'm a shabby, so I rely on my sister-in-law. ”

After saying this, the county lord couldn't help laughing, and poked a finger on Hu's forehead, "You, you're about to be a mother-in-law, and you're still so narrow." Wait for Ming'er and your daughter-in-law to enter the door, see how you still put your mother-in-law's score?! ”

Hu Shi raised his head indifferently, salivated and smiled: "What's that?!" My mother-in-law died early, and the family relied on your sister-in-law to support me, and when I came, our fourth master also said that in his heart, he respected his sister-in-law the most. The phrase 'the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother' is really appropriate. In front of you, sister-in-law. What face do I need and what kind of score do I want? ”

Hu's words are sincere, although slightly exaggerated, but they come from the bottom of their hearts. The county lord is so unkind.

"I'm embarrassed to let you say that,"

The county lord shook his head with a smile and continued: "Brother Yan is about to get married, according to the old practice of the family, there should be 20,000 taels of silver in the public middle school. Expenses such as banquets and small dramas are also from the public. I've asked my grandmother to prepare. You don't have to worry about that. ”

Hu nodded again and again.

Nominally, Qi Lingxian and Qi Lingyi have separated, in order to protect Qi Lingyi. Leaving a bloodline for the Qi family, Qi Lingxian even opened his younger brother's house out of the clan. In the preparation of the official government, Qi Lingyi has already set up a separate ancestral hall, and he is not Qi Lingxian's family.

And in fact. Whether it's Qi Lingxian or not. It's still Qi Lingyi, their brothers have never thought of being separated from each other.

The Qi family's eastern and western mansions have been fighting infighting for decades, and I don't know how many heirs have become victims, so that there are very few men who have grown up in the two mansions.

Dong Qi did his own thing, and only one of Qi Qin was left who tossed the few men.

Western Qi is not much stronger than Eastern Qi, Qi Lingxian has two brothers in his generation, one mother and compatriots, if they divide the family again. The Qi family is even weaker.

Qi Lingxian and Qi Lingyi are both smart people, and they will never do something stupid to cut off their arms.

Qi Ling took precautions. dared to hand over one-third of the family property to Qi Lingyi to hide, that is, he could trust his younger brother.

After the Qi family's accident, Qi Lingyi didn't need to be reminded by his eldest brother, so he took the initiative to let his son send that part of the property back to the capital, proving that he was worthy of his eldest brother's trust with his actions.

No matter what they look like on the surface, in private, Qi Lingxian and Qi Lingyi are still good brothers who trust each other and love each other.

They have never been separated from each other.

Qi Jinzhi's industries tossed out in the southwest, whether it was well salt or silver mines, Qi Lingxian was all counted in the public middle school, and Qi Lingyi, who had no idea, was shared.

Only the pepper plantation has not moved, it is Gu Jialuo's private property, and the Qi family has never done anything to embezzle the daughter-in-law's dowry, which is too embarrassing, and the men of the Qi family disdain it.

“…… This is the account book of the mine over there, and you can see it, and you have a good number in mind. ”

The county lord handed Hu a booklet, picked up the tea bowl, and watched her flip through it with a smile.

Hu Shi was not polite, and opened the account book and looked carefully. She has been a housekeeper for many years, and she is very skilled in accounting and something, and looking at the lines of numbers, she has roughly calculated the general ledger in her heart.

The smile on his face became brighter, and when he closed the account book, Hu sighed: "Brother Jin is still capable, and in less than three years, he has purchased such a large amount of property for his family." We have been in Suzhou for almost six years, and the dividends we have received are less than half of his. ”

really responded to the sentence 'the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach', as the front wave that was shot to death, Hu Shi was somewhat stunned.

However, at the thought of such a large sum of silver, Hu Shi became happy again, handed over the account book to the county lord, and took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve pocket.

"Sister-in-law, this is the dividend of Jiangnan Zhuchang last year, please take a look."

Hu Shi handed a few pieces of paper to the county lord and praised it, "When the eldest master wrote to our fourth master and said that pearls could be raised in captivity, I still thought it was incredible. Unexpectedly, the old man found a local craftsman to experiment a few times, and it really succeeded. Among the tributes this year, there are the best black pearls and pink pearls raised in our pearl field, each of which is the size of a longan, and when put on the market, one is worth a thousand gold. ”

Qi Lingyi was in Suzhou, and at first he collected the filial piety of salt merchants, but Qi Lingxian felt that it was unsafe and easy to get into trouble.

It just so happened that Gu Jialuo once mentioned to Qi Jinzhi that pearls can be artificially cultivated like livestock, and that there are many lakes in the south, and the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is still close to the sea, so you can choose a competent subordinate to go to the seaside to circle a sea field to try.

Qi Lingyi wrote a letter to Qi Lingyi first, and he didn't know how Qi Lingyi operated it, but after experimenting for a year or two, he really raised a finished product.

There are freshwater aquaculture, and there is also marine aquaculture, and the pearls produced are not bad, and they can obtain staggering profits every year.

Because this business was Gu Jialuo's initiative, and the resources and funds used were also shared by the Qi family, Qi Lingyi did not take the pearl field as his own, but counted it as a family business.

Since the year before, Qi Lingyi has ordered someone to send the bonus silver of the year at the end of each year.

It was with this money that the Qi family was able to support a large number of strong men in the Zhuangzi and maintain the development of firearms in the Qi family's workshop.

After all, no matter how rich the dowry of the county lord of Qinghe is, it will run out one day.

And with Qi Lingxian's pride, he would not eat his wife's private property at all.

Even if the Qi family said so to the outside world, Qi Lingxian would not really do it.

In the past few years, in addition to living in the house where Qinghe married, every penny spent by the family was earned by the men of the Qi family.

"Well, it's good to be profitable. At first, I didn't have a score in my heart, but the fourth brother had a way, so I just got this thing done. ”

Qinghe was very satisfied with the numbers on the bill, the Qi family seemed to be down, but in fact, the family property was not less than in the past.

What makes Qinghe happiest is the relationship with Sifang, who is emotionally close to each other, but when it comes to accounts, it is clear and clear.

Well, that's how brothers get along!
