Chapter 220
From the capital to Huangzhou is actually only ten days at most, but because Min Wei is not in a hurry, so along the way but talked for nearly a month, on the way met two groups of Beijing will Huangzhou to report the good news, one is that the Bai family successfully gave birth to a son, the name has been taken, Jiang Jiamin should be the Cheng character generation after the generation, but now there is also the Chengcheng character generation in the side branch, so it took the homophonic Cheng, and the first one of this Cheng character generation, the name is Jiang Chengyi.
The second batch of good news is related to Minwei, Jiang Minrui has been admitted to the Jinshi, the Southern Qin imperial examination is held once every three years, the time of the Wenju and the martial arts is staggered, and the time of the last imperial examination, whether it is the martial arts or the Wenju, is just in the filial piety of the old lady, so Jiang Minxing and Jiang Minrui have missed it, and the Shen brothers and Yao's nephews are all rushing to the imperial examination.
Bai Shi gave birth to Min Wei is not surprised, after all, the time is almost this time, it is normal to be a few days earlier or a few days later, and the border is stable, Jiang Minxing and they are all in the capital, Bai Shi does not have to worry about the border pass, there is not much of an accident, as for Jiang Minrui's matter, Min Wei really didn't expect it, after all, things were not like this in Mo's previous life, it was just a butterfly flapping its wings, and many things became different.
When Min Wei returned to Huangzhou, most of the people in the clan knew that Min Wei was already on the way back, and the golden shopkeeper received Mo's letter early, counting the days and letting people wait at the city gate.
The reason why she is not in a hurry to return to the clan residence is that Min Wei urgently needs to find a quiet place to send Aoki and the others away first, the carriage parted ways at the city gate, Min Wei took Jiang Minfeng and Ning Bing and Jin Se to Mobao Zhai, and the rest went back to the clan house directly, when the carriage stopped at the door of Mo Bao Zhai, Min Wei came out of the open car curtain, and the golden shopkeeper had already heard the news and rushed out.
"Little Miss, you're here." The golden shopkeeper looks a little older, and his body doesn't look as good as when he saw it during the New Year, and when he saw Min Wei, his eyes were slightly bright, and he faintly revealed some worries and concerns, and even the tone was mostly worried, probably because Min Wei spent too long along the way, and the golden shopkeeper was worried about what happened on the road.
"Uncle Jin, I'm worried about you, let's go in first." Min Wei helped Jin Se's men get out of the carriage, turned around and took over Jiang Minfeng in Ning Bing's hand, and then said with a smile to the golden shopkeeper.
The golden shopkeeper immediately nodded, and walked with Min Wei to Mobao Zhai, and the golden shopkeeper said to Min Wei while walking: "There have been several letters in the capital before, and the new style of Jinxiu Pavilion and Dark Fragrance Pavilion and Linglong Fang has begun to be sold, saying that the business is good, and the new dishes of Qilixiang in the capital are also very popular, and the Hu shopkeeper has returned, and I heard that this side is ready to change to new dishes in a few days." ”
Since Mo's slowly handed over his dowry shop to Min Wei, Mo has rarely asked, most of the time it is handed over to Min Wei, and the shopkeepers everywhere are also used to it, most of the small things are discussed by the shopkeepers in various places, and the big things are to inform the big shopkeepers of several shops by letter, such as Mobaozhai, although the capital is managed by Jin Lang, most of the news is still sent to Huangzhou, and the rest are sent to the capital.
In fact, Min Wei is quite unsuitable for ancient communications, a little farther away will be blocked by news, even if there is a special person to send the letter, it is inevitable that there will be delays, and some places are not necessarily safe even if they are official roads, Min Wei once thought about the kind of flying pigeon biography seen in the novel, but the reality is that very few people in ordinary people cultivate this kind of thing, and the road is not much more than artificial safety, and it is even possible to be shot by someone.
The consequence of the inconvenience of transportation and communication is that even if you speed up, the news you get is very likely to be a few days ago or even ten days ago, which is why Minwei proposed that Mo's close some shops that have been losing money for many years, open source Minwei thinks she can't do it, and she doesn't have so much ambition, but it is okay to throttle, after all, a loss means that the benefits are lowered, and the long-term loss shows that there is a problem with the shop, of course, it is not that there is no way to turn a profit, but the real person in charge of the shop is a woman, is still a woman who has become her own child, it is impossible to inspect the shop every year like the old lady Mo back then, and naturally she can't come up with a way to change the fate of the shop according to local conditions.
After all, modern technology is developed, and you can know the latest news with a phone call, and as a small clerk in her previous life, Min Wei really doesn't have much contact with the so-called managers, so naturally she can't understand the difference between the so-called manager and the shopkeeper in ancient times, until she slowly contacts those shopkeepers, and many things will finally be asked about Mohs or returned to Mohs before they can be implemented.
"Thank you, Uncle Kim." Min Wei didn't rush to read the letter when she entered Mobao Zhai, and after thanking the golden shopkeeper, Min Wei said to Qingyu, who entered the door two steps late: "Miss Qingyu, this time there is Lao Gui Dart Bureau escorting all the way, now I have arrived safely in the place, I am afraid that the girl will rush back to the capital, so I will not leave more girls, a little meaning, please smile." After Min Wei finished speaking, she took out a few silver tickets from her sleeve, which Min Wei had prepared on the way to Mobaozhai.
Qingyu didn't refuse, took the silver ticket in Wei Wei's hand, put it in her sleeve without looking at the specific amount, and then bowed and said, "Miss Jiang, take care." After speaking, he arched his hand to the golden shopkeeper and others and withdrew from Mobao Zhai, and then there was a sound of horses' hooves at the door, and after a while, it slowly fell silent, probably having left.
"Uncle Jin, let's go inside and talk about it." When the sound of horses' hooves disappeared, Min Wei glanced at Jiao Zhong, who was standing behind the golden shopkeeper, and said.
The golden shopkeeper nodded, turned around and asked Jiao Zhong to look at the shop, and then asked Min Wei to go to the account room to talk, because what Min Wei wanted to ask was not suitable for too many people to know, so Jin Se and Ning Bing, who was holding Jiang Minfeng, were also sent away, so only the Jin shopkeeper and Min Wei entered the account room in the end.
"Little Miss, this is a letter sent by the eldest lady before, and the rest will be said after the little lady reads the letter." After the golden shopkeeper entered the room, he took out an envelope, and waited for Min Wei to sit down before handing it to Min Wei with both hands.
Mo's letter was written simply, basically asking Minwei about the things along the way, and telling Minwei to find a time to go to Zhuangzi to see Hongyan, and the rest was to let Minwei take care of her body, Minwei quickly read it, and after putting the letter away, she turned her head and asked the shopkeeper Jin: "Before I left, my mother asked me to ask Uncle Jin, how did you do before?" ”
Mo had heard Min Wei close a lot of shops before, but the external statement was that the money turnover was not good, but in fact, it was ready to be used to buy the other half of the Mo family's property, that is, the family property in the hands of Uncle Min Wei, and before closing the shop, Mo had already begun to dig a pit for the Mo family, starting from going to Zhuangzi during the Chinese New Year, first let Jiao's mother go to Zhuangzi, and then let Jiao's mother see the bad harvest in Zhuangzi.
At the same time, let Jiao Zhong be the second shopkeeper of Mobaozhai, deliberately let him see the account book, knowing that Mobaozhai's business was mediocre, and then Mo's sent a letter to each shopkeeper to close some of the shops, and deliberately released the news, making people feel that although Mo's dowry has a lot in his hand, it has actually been supported over the years, even if not everyone believes it, but there will always be someone who believes it.
These are all things that Min Wei deliberately said to Min Wei after she left, of course, it was not this thing that asked Min Wei to ask the gold shopkeeper, after Mo was reborn, there were only two things in his heart, one was naturally to protect his daughter, and the other was to keep his dowry, since he got along with Min Wei for a long time, Mo gradually had a little more mother-daughter affection for Min Wei in his heart, although Min Wei had stated countless times that he was actually about the same age as her.
Therefore, after getting along with Min Wei, Mo had the intention of handing over the dowry to Min Wei, so he took Min Wei to Zhuangzi after going to the Mo family, but before he could go to Zhuangzi, Mo Jiale secretly sent a letter to Mo and told her about Mo Liu's and Mo Jiasheng's plan to calculate Minwei.
As for what the shopkeeper Jin did, Min Wei only knew that it was related to Mo Jiasheng, but what it was, Mo didn't say it in detail at the time, and only asked Minwei to come back and ask the shopkeeper Jin how things were going.
"Little Miss, rest assured, everything has been done, and I guarantee that it will not be found." After the golden shopkeeper finished speaking with a smile on his face, he looked at Min Wei's eyes full of questions, and continued to speak: "When the eldest lady came to Mobaozhai before, she asked me to think of a way to lure Young Master Jiasheng to the casino, and now the matter has been completed. ”
The corners of Min Wei's mouth twitched, and there was almost no need to ask about the back, since ancient times, there are three kinds of pornography, gambling and drugs, as long as you touch it and become addicted, that is, all the family wealth will be scattered, and these three things are not too many things that are used to deliberately make people bankrupt, Mo Jiasheng is not a too upright person, and the chance of not taking the bait is too small, and now it has been seven or eight months after the New Year, and it is estimated that the Mo family's family property has lost a lot.
"Uncle Jin, you..." Min Wei didn't know what to say, she wanted to ask Uncle Jin if you didn't come from the Mo family, why did you still help the Mo family, and I also wanted to ask Uncle Jin that you were so cheating on the Mo family, aren't you afraid that Old Man Mo will give you a dream at night, but what I want to say most is that Uncle Jin is good at you.
"I think the lord and the lady won't blame the eldest lady, don't worry, the little lady." Shopkeeper Jin probably guessed what Min Wei was thinking, and the smile on his face faded.
"How is the Mo family now? Maternal grandmother she... "Min Wei is not worried about Mo Jiasheng, nor is she worried about Mo Liu, after all, she has always had a bad feeling about these two people, so naturally she doesn't care about these two people, but Mrs. Mo and her uncle, Min Wei is still a little worried, and the Mo family wants to say that the one who really cares about this Min Wei and Mo is probably Mrs. Mo, who has been sick for a long time.
"Madame has been sick, before the eldest lady has been ordered to send some tonic medicine to Madame, but Madame is still not well, now the eldest young master is also sick, although it is not too serious, but the things in the shop are in the care of the young lady, the young master of Jiasheng lost the silver, the young lady is still hiding from the lady and the eldest young master, Miss Jiale has set a date, I heard that she has been embroidering wedding dresses recently, Mrs. is afraid that she will not have much time to delay Miss Jiale, so she wants Miss Jiale to marry as soon as possible."
When the golden shopkeeper talked about Mrs. Mo and Mo Yu, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and his brows furrowed, after all, he had been with Mrs. Mo for many years, and he had grown up watching Mo and Mo Yu since he was a child, so his feelings for the two of them were naturally a little deeper than that of Mo Liu and others.
"Mother said that what I discussed with you before is still the same, even if it is better to wait a little longer, but don't let my grandmother and uncle know that they are sad." Min Wei can finally understand the meaning of Mo's words now, although she has already discussed it with the shopkeeper Jin, but after all, she still doesn't want her mother and brother to be too sad, so she has to take her time.
"Little Miss, don't worry, the old slave will handle this matter well, now the young lady has secretly moved a lot of silver from the shop, and even the field has been sold to the eldest young master without telling the lady, and I can't hide it after a long time." Shopkeeper Jin was able to promise Mo's help to her because he knew that Mo Liu's was calculating Mo's dowry, but Shopkeeper Jin still had feelings for Mrs. Mo and Mo Yu, and naturally he didn't want the two of them to know about these things, especially now that both of them were still sick.
"I'll go see them in a while." Min Wei already knew what Mo didn't tell her, so it was not good to say anything more, but it was certain to go to see Old Madam Mo, whether she was sick or not, Min Wei would definitely have to take a look when she came back.
"It's not early, Miss Xiao is tired all the way, it's better to go back and rest early, it's close now, if there is anything, I'll ask Miss Xiao again." The golden shopkeeper also saw that Min Wei didn't want to say more, although it was still early outside, but thinking that Min Wei would only come back today, although he didn't rush along the way, he must not have had a good rest, so he opened his mouth and proposed.
Minwei nodded, and then went out of the room with the golden shopkeeper, looked around the shop before taking Jinse and them into the carriage, and after returning to the clan residence, she first took Jiang Minfeng to the patriarch's house, met Jiang Qinjin and the Li family, and then went to the house of the fifth old lady, sent the letter written by Jiang Qinmian over, and then went to Jiang Qinxin and Jiang Qinnian's house in the seventh room to go around, and finally returned to the house with peace of mind. After Minwei returned to the house, she asked Ning Bing to leave with Jiang Minfeng, and she went straight to bed and fell asleep. (To be continued.) )
