CHAPTER XXII
Holding the small teacup in her hand, Rulin didn't rush to drink it, and continued to talk about Grandma Sun, "I have thought of what you said before, but I just have a one-in-a-thousand possibility, I want to find her, and I can get closer to the truth of my father's death when I find her." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You deliberately approached Xu Shuyi today for this matter?" Ning Mu asked again.
Rulin's heart froze, but she smiled on her face, "It's obvious that she is looking for me, why do you think that I am looking for her?" ”
Ning Mu chuckled and played with the teacup in his hand, "I know it if I don't say it." Seeing that Rulin didn't answer his words again, he picked up the book that he hadn't finished when he was finished, and continued to lean against the wall of the carriage and flip through it.
Rulin looked at the street outside the window through the gap in the car window, and since she woke up from that dream, she especially liked to look at the people on the street thinking about things like this, and she unconsciously became sleepy. The head slammed lightly on the carriage, one by one.
I don't know when Ning Mu put down the book, and actually looked at Rulin sleepy intently, so I watched her knock all the way.
Ning Dongdong stayed with the Dong family for three days, and when Ning Shao went to pick her up, he was reluctant to leave the Dong family, so he insisted on dragging the Dong family home. Dong Shijiao smiled and hugged her, Dong Dong has been getting along with her well these days, and she has played all the fun things at the bottom of her pressure box, and even the two boys in her own family are jealous.
Dong enthusiastically left Ning Shao here for dinner and then went back. Ning Shao entered the study of the Xue family, which he had been thinking about for a few days, and found an ancient book that he had been looking for for a long time and quickly immersed himself in the sea of books, Xue Yun saw that his eldest nephew, who was not very active, had come to the house twice in just a few days, and he didn't want to leave when he entered the study, so he said that he would let Ning Shao find a few books he liked to take home to read, and then change them after reading them, Ning Shao readily agreed.
During the meal, Dong mentioned the incident of Mrs. An Ninghou's birthday, and also made fun of Ning Shao's family affairs, and Ning Shao's face turned red. Dong mentioned the lychee again, and the lychees that he promised to give to the prefectures had already been sent, and the family got such a small basket, but the feedback was excellent.
Just now, several more families sent people to ask, saying that it was no problem to buy or eat fresh or give gifts. Dong and Xue Yun are both active, and they originally spent a lot of effort to get some southern fruits just to try them, but after this time, they found a big business opportunity.
Since ancient times, the climate in the south has been warm and humid, and there are many kinds of fruits, and there are seasonal fruits in almost every season. However, due to the cost of transportation, manpower, and preservation, no one has done this business on a large scale. The communication with the south has always been tea, furs, medicinal herbs and other items that are easy to preserve.
The Dong family and Xue Yun proposed whether they could do this business, if they could do a good job, the Xue family would definitely be able to go to another level. Her idea is to plan two stable and safe routes for water transportation and land transportation, set up several fixed supply points, and do a good job of transportation relays. It is also necessary to understand the characteristics of the fruit to be transported in many ways, and find some practical preservation methods, such as filling the gaps between the fruits with straw paper to absorb excess water and avoid squeezing, picking in advance, and waxing the seeds.
In the future, these two lines will be ripe, and they will be able to transport not only fruits, but also other items. Even if the line is scattered, the entire territory can be traded, and when the time comes, not only can you transport your own freight, but you can only help others bring small goods.
When Xue Yun first heard her words, his eyes changed when he saw her, was this the little wife he had always known? He always thought that he was a businessman, but he didn't expect his wife to be even more ah, and he sighed that it was not a family that seriously studied the possibility of this matter after not entering the door.
The conclusion is, it can be done. But to do it well, there is not enough money.
Although you can't eat a fat man in one go, the upfront investment is also huge.
During the meal, the Dong family happened to talk about someone coming to buy lychees, and Xue Yun thought of Xue Rulin.
Xue Yun was not afraid of revealing anything when Ning Shao was his own, and although Ning Shao was young, his brain could not be smarter. I told Ning Shao about this preliminary idea, and asked him his opinion like an adult.
Ning Shao felt more and more that the two people of his uncle and aunt were really wonderful, they were different from all the elders he knew, and when he got along with them, he could feel their respect for the juniors, and he would not follow the rules or indulge. He is especially relaxed here, which he can't feel at home, looking at the two little cousins who eat sweetly, Ning Shao is envious somehow, the two of them are really happy children.
Ning Shao felt that the idea of Xue Yun and his wife was feasible, but the risk was too great, but he supported it.
Xue Yun heard that Ning Shao also thought that this idea was good, so he became happy, and wanted to have a drink with Ning Shao again and again, but Dong pulled the arm that raised the wine glass and slapped it down. Several children covered their mouths and laughed secretly.
"Shao'er, I must do this, there are many things to be arranged first, it is estimated that it will take a year and a half for this line to be officially used, wait for me to write a letter, you can take it back to your mother." Xue Yun said.
"Uncle wants to take my mother with him in this business?" Ning Shao's young and surging heart couldn't help but move, the idea of this business seemed quite big now, but once it was done...... Once it is done, the uncle's family must not be the same day as today, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a giant businessman, and for their Ning family, money is one thing, even if the father acts in the court, it will also bring a great help.
"Shao'er guessed right, the cost of this business is huge, although my uncle has money in his hand now, but he can't all smash it all on it, he can't swallow it in one gulp, and if you don't look for your mother, you have to find someone else." In fact, Xue Yun proposed to let Xue Rulin participate out of multiple considerations.
There are only two sisters and brothers left in the Xue family, and he naturally has to take care of his sister for the rest of her life, although he knows that there is a Su Niang to help her manage the dowry, but after all, Su Niang's ability is limited, and she is good at managing and operating, but she can't develop and develop, and her sister's dowry has not increased much over the years.
Second, just like Ning Shao thought, the Xue family and the Ning family will still have to rely on each other in the future, and now the Xue Mansion only relies on the Ning Mansion, and it may not be that the Ning Mansion cannot rely on the Xue Mansion in the future.
The second is to let my sister open up her mood and horizons more, find more things for her to pay attention to, and not let her stick to the three rooms and two rooms in the back house.
In the end, he does need money.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will bring this letter." Ning Shao's eyes lit up and he agreed to Xue Yun, which was rare to be a little young and cute.
After eating, she looked at the faintly anxious look of her brother, who had always been calm, and she understood it when she ate just now, probably because her uncle had something important for her eldest brother to bring a message to her mother, so she didn't dare to entangle with the Dong family anymore, and obediently followed Ning Shao home.
