Chapter 21: Scum

Cui Yingtang and Cui Yingyun stood in front of Mrs. Cui and Song Chuyi and didn't react for a while, both of them looked stunned, and after a long time, Cui Yingyun reacted faster, almost popping out a few words from between his teeth: "Copper mine?!" ”

Who doesn't know what it really means to mine copper privately?! This is a big deal, the ancestor of the Cui family has already handed over all the copper mines to the treasury, and the ancestor also specially gave the Cui family half a year of taxes because of this matter...... Now that he is getting involved in copper mines, isn't this clearly a deliberate effort to get along with Emperor Jianzhang and get out of Emperor Jianzhang's arms? !

"It turns out that the two uncles really don't know anything about it......" Song Chuyi's tone couldn't say whether he was disappointed or lost, and looked at them and sighed slowly: "I have always heard that the Cui family has a good way of governing the family, and it is a rare and famous family...... But that's not the case with my impression of a famous family. "Take the recent example as a comparison, the Song family, Song Chengwei is not the patriarch of the Song family, but because he is the best in the Song family, those Song family disciples will inevitably use his name to act recklessly in their hometown, Song Chengwei has never tolerated such behavior, and if he catches one, he will remove one from the clan."www.biquge.info In the words of Song Chengwei, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, the embankment of thousands of miles collapses in the anthill, he worked hard for the Song family to fight the family business, can not be defeated by these unfilial children who do not become a weapon, he Xing clan learning, whether the Song family in his hometown is far away or not, as long as he is willing to learn the clan study, he will accept it, and give them new clothes and rice grain all year round......

The patriarch of the Song family must repair the ancestral hall and buy land and property in his hometown in accordance with the regulations, and make account books for the elders of the clan to look at first, and then send them to the capital to wait for Song Chengwei to decide.

This is the way for a family to really prosper, compared to the Cui family, an ancient family that has been inherited for so many years, there are still such mistakes and omissions, which is simply incomprehensible.

Song Chuyi's words were like a slap in the face of the second master Cui and the third master Cui San, and the two of them glanced at each other and then frowned and told the old lady Cui: "The account books on the surface are not wrong, and I don't know what kind of account clerk he hired to smooth out the accounts...... And our family's dividends are indeed not much different from the amount of previous years, and our Cui family also has a registered money village pawnshop, but we have never had such a large amount of silver......"

It means that Cui Shaoying is really hiding from the big house, and the income from mining is a huge amount of money, and he would rather not go to the family's money bank to launder money...... There is indeed a huge network of relationships behind it.

Cui Shaoting didn't have the 'improper' anger when he saw Song Chuyi for the first time at this time, he stood up and walked back and forth in the house for a while, and then immediately turned his head to look at Old Madam Cui: "Mother, Shaoying seems to have been going out frequently since last year, and it's okay to say that it's something else, but the horse business can't be ignored, and it is good to help Shaoting if you have experience in the future...... I will send someone to tie up the few stewards who need to be used by his side to interrogate and interrogate him first. ”

Cui Yingyun also felt that this matter must be investigated first clearly, otherwise the whole body will be affected by a hair, and the entire Cui family will be unlucky, this risk is too great, and no one dares to take it: "What the second brother said makes sense, when the second uncle and grandmother came today, didn't they say that they wanted to buy more stallions this year and expand the business a little more, and they also planned to let our big house invest some more silver taels into it and get the bulk of the dividends?" I don't think the second uncle and grandmother may not be ignorant of this, just in case...... I think my second uncle and grandmother also have to ask. ”

Now the whole second room is not trying to get rid of God, what I am most afraid of is that even the third room is involved, Mrs. Cui felt a splitting headache, stabilized her mind and thought carefully for a while, turned back to look at Song Chuyi, and asked her: "Xiaoyi, what do you mean, now let's check it in our own house first, will it startle the snake?" ”

Lai Chenglong's arrival is already to startle the snake, and no matter how much the grass startles the snake, Song Chuyi shook his head and said his thoughts: "Let's check it from home first, if all the problems are really in the second room, it is better to think of a way to solve it first." It's just that how can you call the whole second room to the long room without alarming the outside? ”

Now it is certain that Cui Shaoying will never be single-handed, there is collusion with people outside, if he is allowed to take the opportunity to pass on the news, or if the matter is too big to attract the attention of his accomplices outside, it will be another troublesome matter.

Old Madam Cui groaned for a while, and suddenly instructed Second Master Cui: "Go, the Xinghai Tower in the northeast corner is the highest, put a fire there, saying that I took Sister Luan and Xiaoyi to enjoy the lights inside, but they were all trapped inside." ”

If such a big thing happens, it is very normal for Xifu to go to Dongfu for help, and even the second old lady and the third old lady will be alarmed and rushed over. took advantage of this opportunity to trap the people in Xifu first, so that they could not pass on the news, and then went to the shop outside to arrest the stewards who were reused by Cui Shaoying for good interrogation.

When Cui Shaoying received the news of the water in Xifu, he was still wearing clothes to discuss Lai Chenglong's affairs with others, and his face involuntarily floated with a layer of frost, no matter what, Lai Chenglong's arrival meant that it was the capital that smelled the wind, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Originally, the grandson personally brought Shang Fang's sword to Yangquan to quell the chaos, and I felt that it was wrong, and I should stop immediately." But you have to be greedy like this......"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a banging knock on the door, followed by a person who panicked and said that there was a fire in Xifu, and Mrs. Cui and Miss Biao from the capital were trapped in Xinghai Tower.

When such a thing happened, Old Madam Cui was noble and noble, and he, the patriarch, could not be absent, so he couldn't help kicking the stool with some irritation, and rubbed his temples a little impatiently and stood up: "I can't help but go over, otherwise I will be drowned by saliva tomorrow." ”

Strangely, the person opposite him also stood up with him, and said in a calm voice, "I'll go over with you to have a look." ”

"You're going too?" Cui Shaoying paused and looked back at him: "Aren't you afraid of being recognized?" ”

Because of the fact that there were a few lanterns lit under the porch, the man's face was finally revealed at this moment, and he showed a mouthful of incomplete rotten teeth and smiled: "Back then, she scolded me for being a scum, but now look at this scum standing in front of her, she doesn't recognize it."
