Chapter 229

Zhao Changqing didn't receive Doctor Su and didn't go home, so he happened to be here with Mr. Su to dismiss.

Speaking of Yang Yufu, Zhao Changqing said, "I really don't know what Cousin Yang is trying to do?" In this way, they tried every possible way to please the old ladies and them. If she said that she would never forget the old love for her husband, it is also unlikely, she was very filial to Mrs. Liu outside her words, and just bought a house, she went to Shuzhong to pick up Mrs. Liu to enjoy the blessings of the imperial capital, and deliberately vacated the main house, and repacked it to prepare for Mrs. Liu to live. I felt she knew very well about my affairs in the border city. She didn't care about me at all, and gave our wife a pair of shoes she made herself every month, and I thought she might be reminding me that I used to make shoes for my grandfather on his birthday. She flaunted in front of our old lady how she honored her mother-in-law and gave her the main house to live in, thinking that she was ridiculing me for living in the main house by herself. ”

Bystander Qing, Mr. Su said, "It's not just that. A few days ago, I bought a few Shu brocade from Shopkeeper Liu, which is indeed a first-class thing. Such a good brocade is not woven by ordinary workshops, it must be the first-class goods in the official weaving workshop, except for the dare not compare, they are all excellent color. Changqing, this Miss Yang didn't just remind you about giving shoes to Mrs. Zhu, she was obviously repeating the path you had walked. You gave shoes to your grandfather on his birthday, and he gave them away for more than ten years, and his grandfather will treat you differently, and a big reason comes from this. ”

"I was at that time because my grandfather gave me a piece of jade, and later on my grandfather's birthday, I made shoes for my grandfather." Thinking of Mrs. Zhu, Zhao Changqing couldn't help but smile, "Later, it was because I envied Mrs. Zhu." "Every year on the grandfather's birthday, I will make shoes for the grandfather, not only because the grandfather is an elder, but also because he wants to be different. She envied her grandfather's life from the bottom of her heart.

Mr. Su smiled, "However, it took you more than ten years to get Mrs. Zhu's blue eyes." Miss Yang has only been around for a year, and the Xia family has forgotten all about the past. You made money in business, and Miss Yang's business also prospered, and she also made a lot of money and bought a four-entry house. Not only is she rich, but she is more filial to her mother-in-law, and she is more generous. ”

Zhao Changqing agreed with what Mr. Su said, frowned, and said, "However, when people do something, they must always have their purpose. What is Miss Yang for? I'm not having a good life, so what's in it for her? To tell the truth, I can't afford to spend money like that, where it's so easy to get. Xianggong also said that Cousin Yang's money is not coming from the right way. If she hadn't targeted me everywhere, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to her money. My husband didn't know that she was still recruiting my old lady and aunt to invest in her shop to do business. ”

Zhao Changqing sighed, "The saints all say that there is nothing to do and be courteous, and it is either a traitor or a thief." She suddenly became very rich, my old lady and aunt are all snobs, not to mention, she is not rich, she just hates to be like Miss Yang, who once made a fortune. Miss Yang's business, the origin is still unclear, if they tell Miss Yang that they have moved their minds, once they fall into it, the consequences cannot be imagined. ”

Mr. Su said, "What do you wives say? ”

"The old lady hated Miss Yang the most before, but now she takes Miss Yang to watch out for her liver and flesh. What's more, our wife is my own aunt. Zhao Changqing was quite worried, and said, "I think Miss Yang is inappropriate, especially the old lady who wants to buy shares in Miss Yang's shop, which is even more inappropriate." Xianggong said that he went to tell the old lady and his wife that they would not let them take a stake in Miss Yang's shop. If the princess does not let the old lady and the others get rich, whether the stock is successful or not, the old lady and the aunt will definitely remember this matter on my head. Even my wife, if I can't say it, I will think about me. If Miss Yang wants me to be unhappy, she has already succeeded. “

Mr. Su said, "The only place you have contact with Miss Yang is Ah Wen." She doesn't look like she is interested in Arwen. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "She is married, Liu Juren treats her well, looking at her filial piety to Mrs. Liu, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is good." No matter what, it is impossible to kill me, she will marry her husband herself. ”

Mr. Su suddenly said, "I have been in the border city for twenty years, and I don't know many things about the imperial capital. If you want to return to the imperial capital earlier, I may have persuaded you to marry someone else. "The Xia family is not a good family, originally looked at Anfen, but unfortunately only Anfen when he was poor, and before he was rich and noble, he didn't know who his surname was.

Zhao Changqing said, "Xianggong is good to me." ”

Mr. Su smiled, stopped talking about this, and said, "Let me guess, what will this Yang girl do next?" ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Sir, please speak." ”

Mr. Su said, "She has the means to get these many silver taels, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to do a little more tactful and calculate you without a trace." However, this person is born straight away, and she reminds you that she is here for you, and she is not even afraid that you will be suspicious of her business. She dared to do this, it can be seen that, first of all, her purpose is not Ah Wen, because even if she calculates you, Ah Wen is a person who understands, and it is impossible to marry her. What's more, Arwen has also become suspicious of her business. Secondly, the female relatives of the Xia family are not smart enough, and Miss Yang knows this in her heart, so they will inevitably fall in love with money and lure. I'm afraid that Awen won't be able to stop this matter. If you can't do it openly, you can come secretly, and you can also buy shares. As long as they are shared, Miss Yang will give them a rich return. Because of the silver, even the previous grudges can be let go, what else can't be let go? Miss Yang will be very generous, and the next thing she will say must be your monthly donation of money to Queens' College. This is your money, to whom you will spend it, to whom you will give, for it is freedom. However, people in the world tend to regard their daughter-in-law's private property as their own family property. After all, the in-laws will not touch the daughter-in-law's private property, but these private properties will be passed on to their children and grandchildren in the future. This descendant is surnamed Xia. You donate the silver, and in their eyes, it is not your silver, but the inheritance of the descendants of the Xia family. If the Xia family knows about this, Mrs. Xia and the others will inevitably be dissatisfied with you. ”

"Also, you have been married to Arwen for a few years, and you have never had children." Mr. Su said, "Although you talk about Awen's body, Miss Yang can't guarantee that she has no means to encourage the Xia family to give Aven a concubine." She even knows about you making shoes for the grandfather in the border city, will you find out for her if you can't prevaricate Awen's body? If the Xia family knew that Ah Wen was in good health, the Xia family would definitely give Ana a small one. Of course, if Miss Yang is so powerful that she even knows such a thing, she must also know your temper, and you don't want to serve a husband with another woman. ”

"At this point, it's a big bustle." Mr. Su said in a deep voice, "She has to hit you to achieve her goal." Mrs. Xia's first-class character is nothing in your heart, and you will only suffer if the people you care about hurt you. ”

Zhao Changqing was silent for a long time, and then said, "However, I have no grudge against her. ”

"You yourself feel that you have no grudges. If there is no grudge, who will spend money and effort to deal with you like this? Mr. Su couldn't figure it out for a while, and said, "Miss Yang's methods are so intense, she hates you and wants to die, but instead of stabbing you with a knife, she cuts the flesh with a blunt knife." It makes a woman crazy, either because of love, or because of hate, or because of jealousy. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Love is absolutely impossible. If you want to say hate, I haven't seen her before. If she is jealous, she is not worse than me, she has all the means, and her ability to make money is also first-class, and I have nothing to make her jealous. ”

Mr. Su said, "There must be, or you don't know it yourself." ”

Zhao Changqing pondered for a long time and said, "She is neither a man who covets me, nor is she jealous of me, so where does she look at me unpleasantly?" ”

Since he couldn't think of it, Zhao Changqing said, "When I have the opportunity, I'll try her." ”

Mr. Su said, "That's good. Be careful, though. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Sir, don't worry, she can't eat me." ”

Zhao Changqing and Mr. Su talked about their troubles, and felt a little more open-minded, the master and apprentice had lunch together, Zhao Changqing also took a nap in Mr. Su's house, and still didn't see Doctor Su come back in the next morning, Zhao Changqing said, "Sir, won't Uncle Su have anything to do?" Even if you go to the Supervision Division, it doesn't have to take so long. ”

Mr. Su said, "It's going to be fine." ”

Zhao Changqing said goodbye with confidence.

Doctor Su had no time to separate, Mrs. Xia and Aunt Xia were already vigorously preparing to buy shares in Cousin Yang's Shu brocade shop, and even Zhao Lian took out some of the private houses she had saved, thinking about throwing them in. Zhao Lian also pulled Xia Yu along, but Xia Yu hadn't made up her mind yet, so she discussed with Mrs. Xia. Such a major event, Mrs. Xia must discuss with her husband.

After all, Master Xia is a man, and he is always better than Mrs. Xia in terms of knowledge, and said, "Why did Yang Yatou suddenly make a fortune, I couldn't see it before." ”

Mrs. Xia said, "First, good luck, catch up with the people in the imperial capital who are now wearing Shu brocade." Second, there is a brother of the Liu family who can speak in the Shu brocade weaving division, and it is not only the business of Fu Yatou, but she is also a partner with the brother of the Liu family. Three, although she is no wonder about the previous incident, it is because of her that our family suffered a great disaster. The family foundation that she had saved for most of her life was buried, and she felt ashamed, so she happened to have this opportunity, so she told the old lady. I think the old lady and the aunt are happy. ”

Master Xia was noncommittal, "I'll discuss it with Brother Wen." ”

Mrs. Xia didn't dare to say more.

Especially in the case of Yang Yufu, Mrs. Xia insisted on setting Yang Yufu as his wife for her eldest son, and later caused trouble, even though she went to the northwest with her husband to suffer for three years, every time Yang Yufu was mentioned, Mrs. Xia felt guilty.

Master Xia called his eldest son to discuss, and Xia Wen called Xia Wu to the study and said to his father, "The second brother is also getting older, and the family affairs, let him learn to walk some hearts." ”

Master Xia has always relied on his eldest son, so he has no opinions.

When Xia Wu came to the study, the father and son talked about Yang Yufu's business. Xia Wen said, "There is no such thing as pies falling from the sky, even if my cousin makes money, this is my cousin's ability, and it has nothing to do with our family." If you want me to say, let's live a small life by ourselves.

Xia Wu scratched his head, "I think that if anyone owes our family, they will take the silver to compensate, it seems that our family is not worth much." "That's true, it's not coarse. Xia Wu said again, "Besides, listening to my cousin's statement, it is no wonder that our family was unlucky before." If it weren't for the family affair, my brother wouldn't have been able to marry his sister-in-law. After all, I had been married to my eldest brother before, and I told my mother not to always go to my cousin, no matter how generous my sister-in-law was, she must feel awkward in her heart. ”

Master Xia was also not willing to touch Yang Yufu's light, only because Yang Yufu had married his son before, he was not very happy to associate with the Liu family. This Yang Yufu is too, what to do to put the home next door to their Xia family, don't talk about Zhao Changqing, even Master Xia feels awkward.

Master Xia was still very satisfied with his sons' cognition, and said, "In this life, there are many good things that seem to be ready-made, and you just have to understand what kind of benefits can be touched and what kind of benefits cannot be touched." If money were so easy to make, there would be no poor in the world. "Master Xia has lived in Shu for most of his life, although he is in a small country town, but his home is close to Chengdu Mansion, this Shu brocade business, not anyone can do it. When Liu Juren first came to the imperial capital, he had to rent a house to live, and then he would buy a huge shop house in a year, but Master Liu, who had never been a high-ranking official, felt that something was wrong.

The three fathers and sons have a unified position, and they didn't ask Xia Wen to come forward at all, Master Xia went to solve the old lady first, and then said to Mrs. Xia, "It's not easy for Yang Yatou to make money, let's be elders, don't touch her light, otherwise, it will be underestimated." It's the previous thing, we are not unreasonable people, I know if I don't blame her, let her relax, don't mention it again. ”

Master Xia can even persuade Mrs. Xia, and Mrs. Xia naturally won't say anything.

Mrs. Xia came to chat with Zhao Changqing and said, "Actually, Yang Yatou is also kind, she has been like this since she was a child, and she is good to everyone." With a good opportunity, keep us in mind. It's the master, maybe I'm thinking too much. ”

Zhao Changqing couldn't say anything, and Mrs. Xia asked, "What do you say?" "The eldest son is getting ahead, but there are still second sons and young daughters in the family who are unmarried and unmarried, and it will be a lot of expenses for family affairs in the future. The opportunity is rare, Mrs. Xia plans to let her daughter-in-law persuade her eldest son or something, and then let the eldest son talk to her husband. If you save a few at home, your children will look good in the future.

Zhao Changqing naturally wouldn't directly say that Yang Yufu was not, she thought about it, "It's not a bad thing to make money." According to my knowledge, now the prime minister is an official in the court, saying that the official is young, and the prime minister is still young, and he will be able to survive for decades, and he may be able to survive a future in the future. is the second brother, and he will also take the imperial examination in the future. Our family still has to take the future of Xianggong and his second brother as the priority. ”

Mrs. Xia frowned, "What do you say, is it possible that our family earns some legitimate money, and it also affects Brother Wen, and Brother Wu'er has a future?" ”

Zhao Changqing said softly, "The high-grade Shu brocade has always been the official of the Weaving Bureau, and the King of Shu has been in Shu for forty or fifty years, and this Weaving Bureau is the workshop of the King of Shu." The king of Shu is a vassal king, a minister in the court, not to mention minor officials, and a senior member above the second rank, no one dares to have too close contact with the vassal king. ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xia was stunned and puzzled, "I heard that the King of Shu is His Majesty's uncle, if he can have a good relationship with the emperor's uncle, wouldn't it be beneficial to Brother Wen's officialdom?" ”

Zhao Changqing said patiently, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a general named Li Guang, Li Guang had great military achievements, but he failed to be a marquis for life, because Li Guang had a close relationship with Emperor Wu of Han's younger brother King Liang, and was tabooed by Emperor Wu of Han. This is the story of Li Guang's difficult seal. The affairs of the royal family, we would rather stay away, otherwise we will do something wrong and do not care if the official does not care, I am afraid it will be difficult to be safe. ”

Mrs. Xia has experienced it, and in the words of the prince of Shu, the Xia family is a catastrophe. The idea of making a fortune immediately disappeared, and Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "What you say is very true, let's just live a stop life." ”

The father and son of the Xia family are quite capable, but this shareholding did not work out in the end.

It was Yang Yufu, who was not affected in the slightest, but when she went to the Xia family to talk to Mrs. Xia, she inadvertently mentioned, "Mrs. Li, the biological mother of the Marquis of Yong'an, is very shrewd, capable and approachable, I heard that the business of this Shu brocade is good, and I happened to meet it once, and I don't know how to say it twice, so Mrs. Li gave me five thousand silver, and I had to count her share." I really couldn't refuse, so I had to respond. What's more, she has a wide range of elderly family members, and she has also introduced many big customers to me. As soon as the dividend was settled in March, I gave her a dividend, but she didn't accept it yet, so she didn't say that she would put the dividend into the shares. I said, this can't be done, the business is not my family's, or the clan brother is in charge. ”

Aunt Xia couldn't help but ask, "Fu girl, how much is Mrs. Li's March bonus?" ”

Yang Yufu smiled, "This year's luck is good, and the market is good, there are more than 1,500 taels of silver." An ordinary three-entry house can also be placed. ”

Aunt Xia's eyes almost fell out in shock, and she asked, "A bonus of 1,500 taels in three months?" ”

"Summer is not the best time for business, in autumn and winter, when it is cold, the wealthy have to cut new clothes, and the materials in autumn and winter are better, so they can make money." When she didn't see Aunt Xia's shining eyes, Yang Yufu smiled, "The craftsman team introduced to me by my cousin last time was excellent, and our old lady's house has been cleaned up." I came today to thank my cousin, why don't I see my cousin? ”

Mrs. Xia smiled, "She's going out for something." ”

Aunt Xia complained jealously, "I don't know what to do when I go out all day." It's not a flower viewing or a trip, and no one in the family is at ease with her. ”

Mrs. Xia was still very protective of Zhao Changqing, and said with a smile, "What Mrs. Gu said is Mrs. Zheng's birthday, and her daughter-in-law went to congratulate Mrs. Zheng on her birthday." ”

Yang Yufu smiled, "My cousin's ability is known to everyone." It's a pity that my cousin-in-law doesn't look down on my small business. ”

Aunt Xia said, "I think you are still more capable." can earn so many dividends for Mrs. Li every month, even Brother Wen's daughter-in-law is not as good as yours. ”

Mrs. Xia couldn't help frowning when she heard this.

Yang Yufu smiled softly, "Aunt really lifted me up." My cousin-in-law donated silver to the Northwest Army in the border city, and there were tens of thousands of taels a year. I heard that my cousin-in-law came to the imperial capital, and she donated money to the queen's school every month, 600 taels a month, and 7,200 taels a year. What is my little money? Not as good as a finger of my cousin. ”

From Mrs. Xia, Aunt Xia, and Mrs. Xia to Zhao Lian and Xia Yu, the Xia family was shocked when they heard this.

After a long time, Aunt Xia Fang regained her voice, "Oh my God, is this true?" ”

Yang Yufu smiled, "What, doesn't my aunt know?" ”

Aunt Xia was trembling: This, this is all the money of the old Xia family!

Mrs. Xia's face couldn't be hung up, she patted the table and turned her head to ask Mrs. Xia, "Do you know about this!" ”

Mrs. Xia said, "I know about the border city, but I didn't expect so much. "Zhao Changqing has a medicinal herb business, and he donated all the silver at that time, at that time, Mrs. Xia thought it was a thousand heads and eight hundred, but how did she know that it was tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Old Mrs. Xia was short of breath and said angrily, "I see, I won't stop if you don't get angry!" ”

Yang Yufu showed an embarrassed look, stepped forward to stroke Mrs. Xia's chest and back, and persuaded gently, "Old lady, don't be annoyed, this is all my mouth." I thought you knew, I knew it, I couldn't say that anymore. ”

Old Mrs. Xia said, "It's a shame for what you said, otherwise, when I went to see Lord Yama one day, I would just be a fool." I'm sorry for my fathers and fathers! Thinking that the thousands of silver were all lost to Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Xia was distressed and burst into tears: This is all her great-grandson's money.

The Xia family made such a fuss, Yang Yufu didn't stay long, and she left contentedly after finding a reason.

Master Zheng is a high-ranking official of the third grade, and because of his temper, he does not have many friends. Mrs. Zheng's birthday was just to invite close friends, and the banquet was full of ordinary food, chicken, duck and fish, and there were no treasures of mountains and seas. Things are gathered by like, and people are grouped. Everyone talked and laughed, and it was also very pleasant.

When Zhao Changqing said goodbye and went home, it was already dark, and as soon as he got home, Yongfu told Zhao Changqing about Yang Yufu's special coming to provoke. Before Zhao Changqing had changed his clothes, Mrs. Xia sent someone to ask Zhao Changqing to come over to speak.

After changing his clothes, Zhao Changqing went to Basho Courtyard. Mrs. Xia said, "The old lady knows about your donation of silver, and she is angry. You too, why didn't you talk to me earlier? ”

Zhao Changqing was already prepared in his heart, and said, "I told Xianggong a long time ago. Didn't the husband say it to his wife? ”

She always knew that Zhao Changqing was rich, but she didn't know that Zhao Changqing was so rich. Fortunately, Zhao Changqing didn't hide his son's misuse of money. Mrs. Xia felt a little more comfortable in her heart, and sighed, "How can a man know that it is not easy to live this life, not to mention Ah Wen, who has been studying since he was a child, and I don't dare to count on him for other things." This is your own money, I shouldn't have talked too much, but I'm afraid the old lady won't think so. ”

Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said, "Maybe the old lady doesn't know much about the customs of our border city, and when I was in my mother's house before, my father didn't care much about my spending. What's more, this is used to do good deeds, and it is also a good thing to accumulate virtue for children and grandchildren. ”

Mrs. Xia persuaded Zhao Changqing, "You have always been kind-hearted. However, this money, donate a thousand heads and eight hundred, and donate a lot to do, you are really good. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "That's not much." ”

Mrs. Xia really didn't dare to imagine how much money Zhao Changqing had, she said, "The old lady will definitely look for you in a while, you have a number in your heart first." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled in response.

Mrs. Xia asked about Mrs. Zheng's birthday again, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Mrs. Xia did not have anyone to call Zhao Changqing over. Mrs. Xia sighed that everyone in the world is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and people like Mrs. Xia are not exempt from vulgarity. For the second person, Mrs. Xia had to question directly in person, but as a result, when she came to Zhao Changqing, Mrs. Xia had to come tactfully.

Indeed, even if Mrs. Xia almost blew up her lungs, she didn't plan to talk directly to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing's power and cunning, Mrs. Xia knows it well, and she is deeply afraid of it.

Aunt Xia had eaten her lunch so much, she had never seen 10,000 taels of silver for most of her life, it was unimaginable. Aunt Xia was speechless, "Brother Wen's daughter-in-law donates more than 10,000 taels a year, mother, this is all our family's money!" ”

Mrs. Xia couldn't eat lunch at all, so she said with an old face, "I'll talk about this when your eldest brother comes back." "You can't let Zhao Changqing be a ruin like this, and the blessings of her children and grandchildren will have to be defeated for her!

As soon as Mr. Xia came home, Mrs. Xia immediately summoned her son to discuss family affairs, and Mrs. Xia said, "How much money does my daughter-in-law have, I'm not red-eyed." It's just that there is no such reason, what is she going to do if she donates such a large amount of money to her in-laws? Did she take her elders into account? I don't want any of her money, but these will be my great-grandchildren in the future. I can't just watch her lose like this! ”

Master Xia didn't know that Zhao Changqing had donated such a large amount of silver, although Master Xia was a little distressed, he also knew that Zhao Changqing was not easy to mess with, and said, "This is the daughter-in-law's private property, and it is naturally disposed of by the daughter-in-law herself." It's good, what does my mother say about this? ”

"Are you stupid, that's my great-grandson, your grandson's money! How can she be allowed to spread out like this! ”

Master Xia comforted his mother, "A good son doesn't eat a family meal, and a good girl doesn't wear wedding clothes." If the children and grandchildren have the ability, they will not take this money to heart. If the children and grandchildren are incompetent, there is nothing wrong with living a life of poverty and peace. ”

Mrs. Xia was displeased.

Master Xia mentioned it to his eldest son, but Xia Wen didn't feel anything, and said, "Oh, I already knew about donating money." Changqing told me a long time ago. ”

Master Xia didn't say anything more.

Xia Wen returned to the room, saw Zhao Changqing writing a post, went over to take a look, and saw that it was a post inviting Yang Yufu, Xia Wen raised his eyebrows, "What are you asking my cousin to come over?" You and her are less talkative. Xia Wen was a little disgusted with Yang Yufu's mouth.

Zhao Changqing said, "I have to ask her where she offended her, and why she always troubles me." ”

Xia Wen said, "I really don't know where she inquired about these things." "Zhao Changqing only knew an approximate amount of money to donate, but Yang Yufu inquired about it clearly, and at first glance, he deliberately inquired.

Zhao Changqing put down his pen and said, "Her behavior is not bizarre, it is all expected by Mr. ”

Xia Wendao, "You told Mr. Su about your cousin?" ”

"Don't you think she's suspicious, from the time she gave her shoes to my wife every month, I knew that she had been targeting me." Zhao Changqing said, "Now tell the old lady about my donation." Although the matter of buying shares is yellow for the time being, I see that she has not given up, and she will definitely try her best to fool the old lady into taking silver to buy shares to do business, and then we have to talk about the fact that we have no children. If you don't believe it, wait and see, she can't get rid of these methods. ”

Xia Wen furrowed his eyebrows tightly.
