Chapter 101: Accountability

The grandfather and grandson chatted happily, and then Zhen Niang took out the haode ink again.

The old lady has been in the ink shop for a lifetime, and after Zhen Niang's explanation, she can quickly understand the market of ink, and she can't help but say with a happy face: "Good, good, this ink product is well developed." ”

"In addition, we can increase the share of ink, and in the low-end market in the future, we will focus on ink, and ink ingots will be positioned in the mid-to-high-end market." The old lady said again.

Zhen Niang nodded herself, this is exactly what she thought, as soon as the ink comes out, there will be no competition in the low-end market at all, and it will be the world of ink in the future.

"Seventh grandma, are my grandparents and mother-in-law okay?" Zhenniang asked again.

"Well, it's not bad, your grandfather is now in the ink workshop, with a few apprentices, and his spirit is much better than before, your mother and their health are all good. By the way, your sister-in-law is pregnant again, and your mother is busy making clothes for the child every day, and in addition, your eldest brother and cousin may also come to Nanjing after a while. The Seventh Old Lady said.

Zhenniang heard that her sister-in-law was pregnant again, and she was also very happy, but what did the eldest brother do in Nanjing? I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Big brother, what are they doing in Nanjing?" ”

"Since the beginning of spring today, the price of tung oil has dropped, your eldest brother's oil mill has a lot of tung oil in stock, and there is not so much in the ink mill, besides, you planted so many tung oil trees in Luojia Songchang, and now the first batch of tung oil has begun to produce, although there is not much for the time being, but, as soon as the next year passes, the tung oil seeds will have a bumper harvest, these can not be piled up at home, this year there are some tung oil merchants who go to Huizhou to collect tung oil, but the price is ridiculously low. If you really want to sell it at the price that man put up, you will lose money to the edge of the sky. Therefore, the eldest brother wants to contact the tung oil merchant himself from Nanjing. Find your way. The Seventh Old Lady explained.

"Hmm. It's good to take a trip to Nanjing, there are many business opportunities here. Zhen Niang nodded, as for the matter of tung oil, you can save it, and you don't need to sell it in a hurry, but it is also necessary for them to come to Nanjing for a trip, after all, there are many tung oil merchants in Nanjing. Big brother, they still have to break through first, and they are familiar with the market.

Next, the few people chatted a few more words, and then waited for the old lady to continue to rest.

Zhen Niang just retired and sent the second aunt back to the house.

As soon as Huang returned to the house, he was not in a hurry to rest, but sat down again, picked up the carved plate and ink line ink placed on the table, and asked Zhen Niang to see what needed to be improved.

The Huang family has been carving the ink line drawing of Han Xizai's night banquet for the past few days

Zhen Niang looked at the carved plate. looked at the shadow under the second aunt's eyes again, but she was a little embarrassed: "Second aunt, don't be too anxious about this, take your time." Watch your body, this thing hurts too much. ”

"It's okay, just keep busy for the next few days. It hasn't been long since I left the industry, and you've got some ink on the low-end ink side. It's a novelty, and the effect should be good. But the high-end side. Over the years, Li Mo has indeed regressed, and the original high-end market has been taken away by others. I thought about it, although we are not blindly pursuing this high-end market now, but Li Mo's reputation is still there, and there is another Zai and Mo, this high-end market is not completely without competition.

And the collection ink you told me is very good, I thought about it, carve out this Han Xizai night banquet map first, you can make the collection ink of Han Xizai's night banquet map before the opening, and then we can also gain a little bit by taking advantage of the reputation of this Han Xizai night banquet map. Huang rubbed his eyebrows and said.

"The second aunt is bothered." Zhen Niang saluted deeply at Huang.

"Silly girl, Li Mo's matter is not your business alone, the second aunt can do her part, very happy, go to sleep, your seventh grandmother is here, tomorrow your aunt and they will also come to ask for peace, then you can be busy, rest early." Huang patted Zhen Niang and admonished.

"Well, the second aunt also rested earlier." Zhen Niang replied, and then left the second aunt's room and went back to her room to rest.

And at this time, the advance is in the main house.

Fang couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning on the bed, so he pushed Li Jingming beside him.

"Hua'er father, why do you say that the old lady is so good that she came to Nanjing? I didn't even have a letter before, so we were caught off guard, it couldn't be that Zhenniang's girl told us something, right? ”

At this time, Li Jingming was not sleepy, only opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent in the dark. It seemed that he was in a trance, and he woke up after being pushed by the Fang clan, and when he heard Fang's question, he replied lightly: "Don't be bored, since you have already come, just wait." ”

After speaking, he muttered, and then turned sideways, obviously not having the heart to continue talking to the Fang clan.

The Fang clan had no choice, so he had to count the sheep all night, and he really didn't sleep all night.

And on weekdays, Li Jingming, who was snoring loudly, was surprisingly quiet this night.

Early in the morning, Zhenniang used to get up early, first went to the ink shop for a turn, and when the seventh grandmother got up, she packed up and went to the seventh grandmother to say goodbye.

The old lady was very happy, happy, and talked for a while pulling the flowers, and Ge's meeting gifts were also a lot. It's a side of Guanyin ink.

Zhen Niang looked at the ink, at least nearly a hundred years old, it should be one of Li Mo's only remaining boutiques, but Ge Shi is not very knowledgeable, and it is far from good to send ink to gold and silver, but when Ge took the ink, he quietly pouted.

After that, everyone ate breakfast together.

After breakfast, Han Yigui brought his family over to say goodbye. It's another look at the courtesy, not to say.

When the seventh old lady saw Han Li's family, she didn't have a good face, she glanced at Han Li's family and said coldly: "I remember that the last time you went back to Huizhou to borrow money, you said that you wanted to buy land and plant mulberry?" ”

"Yes." Seeing that the old lady's face was not good, Han Li was a little worried.

"Do you need so many fields to grow mulberry? How many silkworms do you plan to raise, and how many workers do you plan to hire? Have you calculated all of this? The old lady asked again in a raised voice with anger.

"No, I bought so much land later because a few official ladies wanted to speculate on the land, so they borrowed me to make a move. Therefore, the land I bought later was mainly used for frying land, and I did not plan to plant mulberry. "Han Li has never seen his mother lose such a temper. Lowered his head and replied honestly.

"Then they weishenme don't look for you, others look for you? Among them, there are few merchant relatives. Do you need to take action in this kind of interest-related matter? The old lady said urgently.

"I ...... I ......" Han Li called his mother, and he couldn't answer these words.

On the one hand, Huang and Zhen Niang looked at the old lady like this. They all wanted to persuade, but the old lady waved her hand at the two of them, preventing them from opening their mouths and continuing.

"I can't answer, my wife knows that you are greedy. When you look at the money coming from hoarding land, your eyes turn red, and this red eyes blindfold you, so that you can't see the risks. As for the ladies of those official families. You also know the risks of this land, so you want to use yourself to tie everyone together, but have you ever thought about it, what do you eat in this stall, and seek skin with tigers, you have to have the ability to fight tigers, do you have them? The Seventh Old Lady asked word by word. She didn't give Han Li face at all this time. Said it in front of everyone. It's really too risky for Han Li to do this thing this time.

This time, if it weren't for Zuihou's risky move, if it wasn't for good luck, the Han family's industry would have been lost. Even the Li family will inevitably suffer losses.

"Mother, it's my daughter who is arrogant." Han Li said with a look of shame.

"Mother-in-law, it's my family that is not good." On the side, Han Yigui said on the side. The problem of his own lady. Han Yigui is clear, so. Before the old lady knocked on her wife, Han Yigui didn't make a sound. Let the lady sober up. However, when it comes to accountability, he still has to bear this responsibility, no matter what, he is the head of the Han family.

"Hmm." Seeing Han Yigui come out, the old lady nodded, stopped scolding, and continued: "

"Of course, these can't be counted as your fault, businessmen are profit-seeking, this is their nature. But I'm telling you, you remember, no one in this world is a fool, this money is not so easy to make, pie in the sky is often accompanied by great risks, so, at the beginning of doing anything, any decision, you have to think about whether you can bear failure, you can bear it, you do it, if you can't bear it, give it up to me, this is fundamental, understand? Old Madam Li said with a frosty face.

"Yes, I see." Han Li's eyes were red at what the old lady said.

On the side, Han Yigui also bowed down and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the old lady." ”

"Okay, you two are less than one answer and one singing, the woman sings and the husband follows, in short, I will only say this today, and I will only say it once, and I will toss it as you want to toss it in the future, and I can't see it." Old Madam Li scolded with a smile.

This laughing and scolding eased the anger.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But the old lady didn't finish, and called Zhen Niang to come to her again: "Zhen Niang, Seventh Grandmother also wants to say a few words to you, this time this thing is too dangerous, you have a heart for your aunt's family, I am very happy." But have you ever thought that this time it was your luck, but what if Hai Rui really came? Have you ever wondered how it ends? ”

Speaking of the word zuihou ending, the old lady's voice was very stern.

As soon as I came yesterday, I heard that Zhenniang had done this big thing, and the old lady was very happy.

But last night, Mrs. Li thought about the whole thing carefully, but she felt extremely dangerous.

Zhen Niang and Han Yigui's inference is good, but if it is not, what if Hai Rui really comes to investigate the land matter, the Han family has entered the game, and there is so much land in his hands, and at that time, he will be the first person in Hai Rui to go under the knife.

When it comes to land and lawsuits, there is no point in saying that it will end. At that time, the Han family will be bankrupt, and it is possible to lose their lives, not to mention, even the Li family will have to go into the water with them.

And this result, neither the Li family nor the Han family can afford it, so at night, the more Mrs. Li thinks about it, the more the vest sweats, so there is this knock in the morning.

Zhen Niang listened to the old lady's words, and her heart was also twisted, because she knew the history and knew that Hai Rui's family couldn't come, so she didn't think about it at all from the beginning, what if Hai Rui really came?

Now, the old lady mentioned that she couldn't help but think that if Hai Rui really came to Nanjing to investigate the land incident this time, then the Han family would be the end of the Xu family three years later. No, there is no comparison with the Xu family, Xu Jie's Xu family is full of protΓ©gΓ©s, and he only ensures that Xu Jie's is fine, but his three sons have been convicted.

And if this matter is changed to the Han family, then the Han family is really irreversible, it is the Li family, not to mention that Nanjing's industry cannot be saved, and Huizhou will be implicated, and the Han and Li families will not be able to bear this consequence.

Therefore, the whole thing, if Han Li is greedy and risky, then she Li Zhenniang is really a gambler, but the gambler has no foresight, and she has some foresight because she knows some historical reasons.

History is also written by people, and there are inevitably mistakes and omissions, who can guarantee it?

"Old lady, Zhenniang is wrong." Zhen Niang knelt down at the old lady with sweat on her forehead at this time.

"It's good to know, it's still the same sentence, before you win, you will lose first, as long as the result of failure can be bearable, then you should be bold to do it, otherwise, give up. Get up. The old lady raised her hand, Zhen Niang is transparent, as long as she is thorough, she will understand what to do in the future. The old lady didn't say more.

Huang got up and pulled Zhenniang up and sat beside her.

On the one hand, the Fang clan was still worried that he didn't know how the old lady was going to send her, and he didn't expect to see the old lady sending out the aunt and Li Zhenniang early in the morning.

Unexpectedly, she was overjoyed, it seems that the old lady did not come to target her family.

However, before her heart landed, she heard the old lady say again: "Jingming and Jingming's daughter-in-law ......"

Fang's heart couldn't help but tremble, daring to love the old lady this morning, she wanted to catch it all this morning, and couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth and smile bitterly. Responded with Li Jingming: "Old lady......"

"What's the old lady's name, we are a family, called Seventh Uncle." The old lady said with a smile.

"Yes, Seventh Uncle." Fang Shi hurriedly replied.

"I came from Huizhou this time, not to scold the two of them, because there is something I can't let go, if I don't go this way, I'm afraid that I won't feel at ease even if I die." Old Madam Li said to Li Jingming and Fang.

"The old lady is serious." Li Jingming was quite calm, but Fang's face was already a little pale at this time, and he thought to himself, it's over, the old lady is going to settle accounts with her family.

used to be greedy, but at this time, the heart is very empty.

"Don't say anything, don't say anything, Jingming's daughter-in-law, do you remember the letter for help you sent back to Changzong?" Old Madam Li asked.

"How can you not remember?" Hearing Old Madam Li mention this, Fang's voice trembled. It's not that I'm afraid, but that I'm resentful.

"I'm ashamed, when I received your letter, I didn't care about it for a while because of the accident between Jingquan and Zhengxuan. It wasn't until later that Steward Shao came to Nanjing and saw that you guys were so good, and I didn't take it seriously. It's only recently that I learned that Jing Ming almost lost his life back then, and your family left his hometown and stayed in Nanjing for the sake of my inheritance, but I lost you, so this time I came to Nanjing specifically to talk to you, which is also what I should give you an explanation. Mrs. Li said, stood up, walked to Li Jingming and his wife, who were already a little stunned, and saluted them.

"Seventh Uncle, how does this work?" Li Jingming knelt down like a jade, and his voice choked.

"Yes, Seventh Uncle, I can't help it, I can't help it." Fang's eyes were red, and the tears fell, and the grievances of many years seemed to be vented in the old lady's words.

Beside him, Li Zhengping, Ge Shi, and Hua'er knelt on the ground.
