When Xiao Xiangsheng was imprisoned for some reason and died in prison, Long Xiangye once supported the Xiao family for a while.

She has always boasted that she was born in a scholarly family, paying attention to everyone's beautiful style, knowing books and etiquette, and learning needlework and embroidery work well. The Long family is well-off, although she is a concubine, she has never been mistreated by her mother-in-law. Marrying into the Xiao family, Xiao Xiangsheng had a salt merchant business, and together with Du Xiancheng, he accounted for almost half of the business in the entire Chang'an City, and Long Xiangye has always lived the life of a rich family.

If Xiao Xiangsheng didn't have an accident, Long Xiangye's life would certainly be smooth.

It's a pity that Xiao Xiangsheng went too early, and Du Xiancheng went overseas, and the business of the Xiao family and the Du family fell into the hands of two women.

Long Xiangye is different from Fang Yuniang, she is not good at business at all. When he first took over the Xiao family's business, Long Xiangye also thought about showing his strength, and always felt that there was something difficult about these simple buying and selling? It wasn't like the multinational corporations she'd seen before......

As a result, she planted on this simple "buy and sell", and lost all the shops that the Xiao family did not take away from the officials.

If it weren't for the help of the Du family at that time, their Xiao family would really have to drink the northwest wind.

Fang Yuniang talked about the events of the year, except for Long Xiangye, which made Xu Shao and King Yijun's expressions change.

Xu Shao picked up the teacup and blew on the hot air, smiled and said: "Xiao is a promising young man, and it is really not easy to create such a big family business alone. ”

Fang Yuniang listened to Xu Shao's words, smiled and nodded, and then didn't overdo it. cast a satisfied eye wave at Xu Shao.

Long Xiangye's face suddenly turned pale, he clenched his fist in his hand, lightly beat his chest, and said aggrievedly: "Sister Fang is extremely right. This is what happens to the woman's business. - It must be a loss. I made such a mistake back then, and I must not let Frost follow my old path and make the same mistake. To do business, let the men do it. Tai Ge'er is very shrewd, and he is familiar with the shopkeeper of the shop below, so it is really the most suitable for him to take over. ”

Let's talk about it. It is still necessary to give the outer courtyard to Xiao Tai and the management. The inner courtyard was given to Xiao Taiji's wife, Guan Yunlian.

When Du Hengshuang heard Fang Yuniang's words, what appeared in her heart was a deep pity and love for Xiao Shihe.

She remembers the first year after the family moved back to Luoyang. Xiao Shihe walked from Chang'an to Luoyang. Dedicated to her birthday.

Twelve or thirteen years old and a half child. From a son-in-law who was dressed in fine clothes and food, he suddenly plummeted and became a poor boy. In order to hide their predicament. Xiao Shiji traveled all the way, barefoot. When I arrived in Luoyang, I washed my feet in a small stream outside Luoyang City and put on shoes that were carried around my chest.

Xiao Shiji walked so far barefoot, and his legs and feet were scarred.

Du Hengshuang was not very old at that time, but her heart was as careful as dust, and she found the scars and blood blisters on Xiao Shi's feet......

Du Hengshuang's eyes flashed, and he wrapped around Xiao Shiji's body like paint.

Xiao Shiji felt that Du Hengshuang was looking at him, and smiled back at her. looked down, but saw the purple jade pendant she hung on her skirt. ——This is a token that his father Xiao Xiangsheng instructed him when he was dying and asked him to treasure it.

This piece of purple jade pendant, what Fang Yuniang said, also made Xiao Shiji think of those things back then.

However, he can no longer remember the hardships he endured back then. He only remembered that when Du Hengshuang returned to Luoyang, he gave him a red gold-footed bell in the car. He has always carried this pair of red gold foot bells with him, and he still has them in his purse in his arms.

The little two looked at each other as if no one was around.

Seeing this scene, King Yijun couldn't help but shake his head, turned sideways and said to Murong Lanzhou beside him: "Look at Shi Ji like that, I have never seen him have such a gentle appearance. ”

Xiao Shiji has always been a knife in the hands of King Yijun.

But the sharpness is against outsiders, at home, he reins in the edge, serves his mother to filial piety, brothers and brothers, and looks at it in the eyes of outsiders, so admirable.

Murong Lanzhou also admired Xiao Shiji very much, and said in a low voice: "Your subordinate is really good. It is very rare to have someone to bear me rather than me to bear others. ”

Long Xiangye saw that he had spoken, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang didn't speak, and couldn't help but be a little anxious, coughing lightly, trying to say something, "Since Shiji also agrees, then let's say so." - The subordinates and businesses in charge of the outer courtyard were all taken over by Tai Ge'er. Hengzhi also has two shops in his hands, and I think he is still good at managing it and earning a lot. Those who can work hard, Brother Tai, you can help your eldest brother share his worries and help him take over this business. ”

Xiao Taiji's eyes slipped around the middle hall, and when he saw that the others present were all disapproving, he also knew that he couldn't go too far, so he hurriedly walked over and helped Long Xiangye to sit down, "Mother, this matter is still a long-term discussion." However, let's leave the backyard of the Xiao family to my sister-in-law to take care of. Yunlian has been pampered since she was a child, and she has been in charge of the family for two months, although there are no mistakes or omissions, but she is really tired, and she has to raise her at home for a while. Besides," Xiao Taiji pursed his lips and smiled, "My mother wants my eldest brother and sister-in-law to give birth to a big fat grandson to my mother, don't you want me and Yunlian to give birth to a beautiful little granddaughter to my mother?" ”

As soon as Guan Yunlian heard that she wouldn't let her take care of the house, the corners of her mouth immediately drooped, and a bitter look appeared on her face.

Chen Yuejiao hurriedly walked to Guan Yunlian's side, held her hand, and gently pinched it twice, telling her not to speak.

In the past two months, Guan Yunlian has listened to Chen Yuejiao's words, banned it in the backyard of the Xiao family, managed the backyard in an orderly manner, took care of it well, and had a very long face in front of the Xiao family.

Chen Yuejiao asked her not to interject, and Guan Yunlian had no choice but to keep silent.

Long Xiangye heard what Xiao Taiji meant, he wanted to use the stewardship of the inner courtyard in exchange for the jurisdiction of the outer courtyard and the shop, and he couldn't help but feel very distressed about the concession made by his youngest son, patted his hand and said, "You, you are too polite." You are the same mother as your eldest brother, and if he doesn't take care of you, who else will he take care of? What do brothers share with each other? What is what's what's theirs is yours, and what's yours is of course his. ”

When King Yijun heard this, Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed, "Old Madam Xiao is really good at laughing." If there is no distinction between the elder and the younger, what is yours is mine, and mine is his, isn't it a violation of the rules of ethics? ”

Long Xiangye choked on King Yijun's words and felt a pain in his chest. But the other party's words deliberately changed the concept, oppressed people with big truths, and took advantage of their identity, which was the same as when she made Du Hengshuang deflated before, so that she couldn't think of anything to refute at all.

King Yijun spoke, and Xiao Shiji couldn't be silent any longer.

"Thank you, King Yijun, for speaking for his subordinates." Xiao Shihe looked grateful and bowed to King Yijun.

Then he turned to look at Long Xiangye and Xiao Taiji, and said very sincerely: "Mother, second brother, I know what you mean." Don't worry, we are always a family, as long as I have a bite to eat, I won't let you go hungry. Shuang'er is my original main room, and she has the same heart as me, so she naturally agrees. It's just that she just got married, and she is weak, so she can only take care of the outer courtyard and take care of the business in the shop. As for the inner courtyard, she really didn't have the energy to take over. I hope that the second brother and sister will not shirk and continue to manage. ”

Guan Yunlian became overjoyed at this time, and saluted Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang: "We are sisters-in-law, and the Xiao family is also my and Erlang's home, so it's not troublesome, it's just a matter of duty." ”

Xiao Shiji nodded, "The second brother and sister are right to think so." There are few Xiao families in Hengzhu, every month, you only need to report to your sister-in-law on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. ”

Guan Yunlian's smile froze on her face. - Is this to call her as a housekeeper? Every month, I go to the first and fifteenth day of the new year to report the account?!

Du Hengshuang saw Guan Yunlian's stiff face, and secretly laughed in his heart, and he couldn't keep letting Xiao Shiji talk to Guan Yunlian directly. He is the eldest uncle, Guan Yunlian should be avoided on the occasion of Xiao Shiji.

Du Hengshuang took over the conversation smartly, and said with a smile: "If the second brother and sister are too busy, I will bring a few capable maids, and the housekeepers are all good at bookkeeping." The second siblings can borrow them for use if they wish. Their monthly routine is still closed by me, and they don't have to pay for it from their families. ”

The large families of Daqi marry daughters, and among the large dowries they accompany, there are dowry maids and companion rooms. Moreover, these dowry maids and companions do not receive the husband's salary, and the daughter-in-law's own private expenses are completely paid.

By not taking the money from the husband's family, these subordinates will reduce the danger of betraying the Lord by a lot.

Guan Yunlian smiled and waved her hand again and again, "No, no, I can handle it." "Use Du Hengshuang's dowry maid housekeeper, is she a fool to be Guan Yunlian?

Du Hengshuang smiled, "Second brother and sister don't need to be polite to me, if you need help, just ask." If you can help me, you will definitely help. ”

Long Xiangye felt a chill in his heart when he heard this, the expression on his face became sad, and he beat his chest and said, "Brother Tai, it's useless to be a mother." After living for such an age, I have to look at my daughter-in-law's face in the future, this family, let's not do it. - Mother, like you, is under the fence. ”

Seeing this, several of Xiao Shiji's colleagues all knew that the old lady was going to make trouble, worried that Xiao Shiji's face would not be able to get up and down, so they hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye with a smile, saying that there was something wrong, and they would visit the family in two days, and quickly left the Xiao family.

King Yijun and Murong Lanzhou also felt that the Xiao family's housework was behind, and they were not right here, so they also stood up and wanted to leave.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, Miss Murong, since I invited you to come over today, I am to help our Xiao family testify." As he spoke, Xiao Shiji took out two documents from his chest, handed them to Xiao Taiji, and said warmly: "Taiji, this is a little bit of my heart and your sister-in-law, you can accept it." ”

Xiao Taiji took it and saw that it was actually the transfer deed paper of the two shops he had been in charge of, and hurriedly excused himself: "What is this doing, big brother?" My mother is still here, we can't separate the family. (To be continued......)
