Chapter Ninety-Two: The Arrival of the Hu Clan
Chen Wenhui was dumbfounded: "Why can't it?" ”
Qiu Zijie said: "The second and third boys in my family do have an eye for painting, but they are dragged down by me and will only farm at home. Where can you do business? ”
When Chen Wenhui heard this, she was worried about this, so she smiled and said, "Teacher, you don't have to worry about this." The management of this calligraphy and painting hall, I will first ask Tang Guanghui, the owner of the Jin Ming shop of the black family, to help manage it, and then let the two senior brothers worship under the door of the Tang shop owner, learn to operate, I believe that with the wisdom of the two senior brothers, plus the background, and the careful teaching of the Tang shop owner, you can let go of the two senior brothers to preside over it in three years. ”
Saying this, Qiu Zijie no longer insisted: "Well, if you say that, it makes sense." If the Hei family is as you said, they must have a lot of experience, and if they let the second and third children follow along, they will definitely be able to learn. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled: "Teacher, you are really sorry for your wife in this life." My wife is a beautiful lady, following you, wandering around, far away from your hometown, her family wealth is scattered, and she has worked hard all her life. Moreover, the teacher often goes out to travel alone, and the master and wife deal with everything at home, which is really hard. Now, my wife can finally live a stable life. The teacher can't travel far for this calligraphy and painting hall, so he has to stay at home and sit in the calligraphy and painting hall. ”
Qiu Zijie smiled: "You little girl, you are really a monkey spirit, it turns out that you are calculating me, so that you can think about your master's wife." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled but did not speak.
Qiu Zijie sighed and said: "What you said is very true, I really can't live with your master and wife in this life." To have a good wife like your master and wife is the greatest creation in my life, even greater than meeting my teacher in the secret realm. I feel guilty about my children. Now the children are not married, because my family is poor. This is not in a hurry, now that you have bought us a field and a house, I believe they will soon get married. However, their future has been delayed. The boss is fine. Follow me to learn to paint, I am a deep true biography, and it should be no problem to pass on my mantle in the future. In addition, you handed over this calligraphy and painting hall to him to manage. In the future, he must be a master in the world of calligraphy and painting, and he can be regarded as worthy of him. Second, third, you arranged it very well, and it can be regarded as giving them a future. It's a pity that it's my two daughters. I delayed my youth for me, and I was supposed to be a beautiful girl, but now I have become a village girl, and I don't know what to do in the future. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "This doesn't bother the teacher to worry about. I see that the senior sister is virtuous and generous, and the second senior sister is diligent and capable. There must be young talents who like it. In fact, there are two good candidates right now. ”
Qiu Zijie was very strange: "Oh, you have only been my disciple for less than two months, how do you know so much?" ”
Chen Wenhui smiled mysteriously and said, "Didn't the teacher just say that I was a monkey spirit?" What would happen if the monkey spirit knew that he was not well-informed? ”
Qiu Zijie laughed.
In fact, Chen Wenhui learned a lot of painting skills from Qiu Zijie during this period of time. Later, he bought a field and a house for the Qiu family, so naturally he inevitably came into contact with the children of the Qiu family and his wife, and naturally learned some about the situation of the Qiu family. Moreover, Chen Wenhui did not come out alone. As soon as she came out, she was a guard, a master who taught martial arts, Wu Lixia, and three or four maids. There are a lot of people, and naturally there are many eyes and ears, so there are naturally more inquiries about the affairs of this enemy.
Chen Wenhui said: "As far as I know, Senior Brother Feng is fond of Senior Sister, and Senior Brother Luo is fond of Senior Sister. These two brothers have been following their teachers for many years, right? ”
Qiu Zijie was dumbfounded, when did this happen. Why don't you know anything about it?
Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, I look at the two pairs are very compatible, and I know the roots, the two senior sisters don't have to marry far away after marriage, they still stay in the painting hall and the teacher's side." Well, the teacher has children by his side in his later years, how happy. ”
Qiu Zijie thinks about it.
In the evening, Chen Wenhui went back. She still has a lot of things to do, so after planning it this way, she wants Qiu Bi to prepare silver for her, in fact, the cash in her hand was taken back to Nanyang to buy land and build a city. Now she is in the period of poverty. However, fortunately, the four shops of the Hei family had a good business, and she got tens of thousands of taels of silver. As soon as this was eased, the money from the nearby industries was collected. The income of Shanghai City also sent this half a year, with a total of more than 400,000 taels of silver. Now there are more and more trade in Shanghai City, more and more big, the Chen family used to have seven ships, which is already large-scale, and now those merchants are ten fast boats on an ordinary scale, and even all of them are replaced by big ships, and they can also go to sea like this, the scene is called spectacular. In this way, Chen Wenhui's income in Shanghai is also increasing.
Xinguang City also, the income of this half a year has come down, although it is not as much as Shanghai City, but there are more than 200,000 taels of silver. Chen Wenhui didn't let this money come back, and directly asked her eldest brother to invest in the construction of Nanyang on her behalf. As for the income of Shanghai City, it was sent by Xu Wenchang, a concubine, and it was naturally sent to the capital, of course, Chen Wenhui's income was easy to calculate, and Wan Shuhui, the financial officer of Shanghai City, put this dividend into Wen Hui's bank and exchanged it for a silver ticket to Wen Hui. Because this bank also has a branch in the capital, Wen Hui can use this silver ticket at any time to exchange for huàn silver in the Beijing branch.
Wen Hui's own expenses are not large, mainly on the escort team. There is also the monthly money, clothes, and rewards of the people around him, Chen Wenhui is responsible for himself. Bai Shi said about this point a few times, saying that where is there such a thing, of course the girl's family who has not been out of the cabinet is her mother's family, and how Wen Hui is all her own burden. Chen Wenhui refused with a smile, saying, she is the most profitable girl in Da Chu, where can she compare with ordinary people? The Bai family thinks about it, since using Wen Hui's idea, the family has become more and more prosperous, not only out of the initial predicament, but also developed to the present, he can become an independent door and become a famous family in Dachu.
Although Wen Hui's own expenses were large, there was no place to spend the 400,000 taels of silver for a while. Therefore, she is preparing to do something, Wen Hui has a thinking from her previous life, money is kept for spending, and if you don't spend money, you won't have the motivation to make money.
It just so happened that when I met my own teacher, I didn't hesitate to spend money to improve the teacher's environment.
Now the teacher told her that his wish was to promote painting. In fact, this is also Wen Hui's wish. Wen Hui has been deeply fond of painting in her past and present lives, and now that she is rich, she naturally wants more people to come into contact with painting, and more people to accept and be influenced by beauty. Therefore, she is willing to help the teacher achieve his wishes.
Chen Wenhui returned home and said to Qiu Bi while changing clothes: "Qiu Bi, don't serve me, there are Cui Qiao and them here, you go and see my account, how much money do I have?" ”
Cui Qiao hurriedly came over to serve Chen Wenhui, Qiu Bi went to get the accounts to see, and after a while, said to Chen Wenhui: "Girl, we still have more than 300,000 taels of silver." Do you want a specific number? ”
Chen Wenhui said: "No. I calculated that it should be more than 200,000 taels, why did it come out again? ”
Qiu Bi: "This is the bank's recent half-year dividend. Nearly 100,000 taels more. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said to Qiu Bi: "You take out 100,000 taels of silver and put it there for later use, I want to build the teacher into a calligraphy and painting hall, which is more beautiful than the black family's calligraphy and painting hall." The trees on the mountain had to be planned, roads had to be built, pavilions had to be built, lakes had to be dug up, painting halls, schools, student dormitories, teachers' dormitories, and small single-family buildings for painters to live in alone. Well, do you think 100,000 taels of silver is enough? ”
Qiu Bi calculated for a moment and said: "It may not be enough, but we can have two tricks, one is to hire people from the black family to work for us, which is equivalent to us earning our own money, we are spending money, but we also make money, and when the time comes, we can share more dividends." There is also the wood for construction, which can be transported from the South Seas by our caravan. Those are good timber, and we originally sent them to the timber merchants here at once. So we don't want the timber merchant to make our money from it, but not save some more. In this way, our timber business in Nanyang is also better. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Qiu Bi, you can really take charge of yourself now, you are comprehensive in everything, and you think very well." ”
Qiu Bi smiled and said, "The girl came to tease me again." These two items are very good, and they can probably save more than 10,000 taels of silver. In this way, 100,000 taels of silver must be enough. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, so be it." Tomorrow I will go to the black family's shop, find the Tang shopkeeper, and discuss a charter together. This planning map, although I have a number in my heart, but it is better for the people of the black family to discuss it, and the people of the black family are still professional in this regard. It's a pity that my father took away all the people in the Hei Family's Alchemy Hall, otherwise, who in the world has done a good job of planting trees on the mountain and planting flowers and plants under the mountain? ”
Qiu Bi said: "This doesn't matter, let's plan first, and then build the house, and when the time is to plant trees and grass, almost the house has been built, and at that time, it is estimated that the master and the people of the black family have returned." ”
Wen Hui thought about it too.
As he was talking, the maid Red Carp next to Bai's side came over and said, "The girl is back?" Madame, please come over for a moment. ”
Wen Hui was very polite to the maids beside her mother, and hurriedly asked Qiu Bi to move a stool for the red carp to sit on: "What is my mother looking for me?" Do you want Sister Baba to run away? ”
Hongli smiled and said, "It's Mrs. Hu who said that Mrs. Hu will go to the capital the day after tomorrow." ”
Wen Hui was overjoyed.
ps:
It took a day to board, I really don't know what's going on backstage?
