Chapter 149: The Death of Madam Tian and the Qin Family

That night, the grandfather and grandson plunged into the ink workshop, and tried various matching methods for various glues, Zuihou found that the fish fat glue was the main glue, supplemented by other small proportions of glue, should be the closest to Li Shoujia's Sihe ink.

Of course, it is only the closest, and it is far from success, a formula, from trial production to success, must be hundreds or thousands of shiyan, and sometimes it may not be successful.

Zhen Niang really wanted to stay and work with her grandfather to get out this Li family's Sihe ink, but unfortunately, things in Nanjing were more important, so as soon as the morning dawned, she had to set off.

"Go, be careful on the road, I'll hand over the matter of this Sihe ink to grandpa, I believe that the next time you come back, this ink will definitely be done." The old shopkeeper Li told Zhen Niang.

"Hmm. Grandpa worked hard. Zhen Niang nodded spontaneously.

Then he took the package, said goodbye to his mother and others, and then sent it to the ink shop with his father by the eldest brother, and set off with the group of the ink shop.

In addition to Sun Wenjie of the Sun family, two carvers of the Huang family, and two sons and nephews of the Li family, who went to Nanjing with Zhenniang this time.

Sister-in-law Sun has a sentence that is right, Huizhou is doing business outside, but whoever has made a fortune always has to take people out from the family children and nephews, one is to find a way out for the children and nephews, and the other is because those who leave their hometowns in the outside background will inevitably be bullied.

It's also a rule of survival.

It's just that as soon as the carriage entered Sibao Street, it was blocked by someone.

Zhen Niang was sitting in the carriage and felt the carriage stop suddenly, so she probed and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Virgin girl. I met the funeral procession in front of me. Wait a minute. The coachman said.

"Okay." The funeral procession passed by. It won't take long to delay the boat. So, Zhenniang asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the side a little and give way to the funeral, which is also a respect for the deceased.

At this time, although it was almost the end of the hour, because it was the New Year, many shops on Sibao Street were not open. Only a few of them had their doors open, and a few of the guys who were sitting in the shop were in a panic, but now they stood at the door and looked out, and then whispered.

"It seems to be the funeral procession of the Tian family? Who died in the Tian family? One of the guys' necks stretched out, and after a while, he turned back to the other guy and said.

"You haven't heard, it's Mrs. Tian who died." The guy on the side raised his eyebrows and said, he has a clan brother who is an apprentice in the medicine hall, and he once followed Mr. to see Mrs. Tian, and knew about Mrs. Tian's affairs, and talked about the Tian family when he visited the New Year.

"Mrs. Tian is dead?" The previous guy was a little incredible.

"Not much. Back then, the boss of the Tian family almost had an accident. She was anxious to break her heart, and then Tian Da came back, she was overjoyed, this great sorrow and joy, she hurt her body and bones, and she was fine when she slowly recuperated, but the inner house of the Tian family has never been stable......"

The guy over there replied, sneered and continued: "Look at it, over the years, Tian Huai'an has carried many concubines into the door, and Mrs. Tian is not a person who can tolerate people, and her temperament is also a little big, so she quarreled with Master Tian for three days, and at the end of last year, Tian Huai'an carried another concubine into the door, do you know?" ”

"I've heard of this, ha, at that time, this matter was the news of Sibao Street, I heard that the second child of his family helped Master Tian collect it from Nanjing, ha, the son sent a woman to Lao Tzu, is this still normal?" The guy from before shook his head and sighed.

"It's not that the second child of his family made a lot of trouble in Nanjing last year, and was driven back from Nanjing by Tian Da, originally Tian Lao wanted to clean him up well, but Tian Er's kid, he has other skills, but he has the most flowers, so he gave such a beauty to his favor, plus the beauty helped him talk on the pillow, and the punishment of that meal was waived." The guy over there said.

"Not really." The previous buddies should be reconciled. Then he said: "This is Mrs. Tian can't think about it, Old Man Tian has always been like this, why is she angry with her body, now that she is gone, I don't know who is good?" ”

"What do you know, don't say that Mrs. Tian is sick this time, even if she is not sick, she can't stand it this time." The guy on the side chattered.

"What's going on?" The previous guy hurriedly asked curiously.

"Hey, it's really strange to talk about this, this time for this woman called Chunzhi, I really got the heart of Old Master Tian, Old Master Tian is very spoiled, I heard that the ancestor worship of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Old Man Tian actually called this woman of Spring Branch, you know who can worship the ancestors, they are all the wives of the main house, even Tian Er's mother is not qualified, but this woman of Chunzhi only said that she had never seen the ancestor worship since she was a child, so Old Master Tian took her to sacrifice together, this is living in the face of Mrs. Tian, Mrs. Tian is already sick, How to swallow this breath, he spurted a mouthful of blood angrily, and left without surviving that night, and Tian Da almost got involved with Old Man Tian. Hey. The guy over there said.

His clan brother was in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve and watched the master go to see Mrs. Tian, and when he boiled the medicine, he listened to the people of the Tian family say a lot of Tian family secrets.

"Tsk, the business of this big family ......" the previous guy snorted, and stopped talking.

At this time, Zhen Niang's carriage stopped at the edge of the shop, and she heard the conversation between the two guys clearly in the carriage, but she didn't expect an ink incident, Tian Er got a woman back from Nanjing in order to escape punishment, and Zuihou would evolve into such a result.

In this way, Tian Da's advantage in the Tian family is gone, I am afraid that there will be a few brothers to fight for each other, and Tian Er's side also has Tian Ronghua to help, plus Tian Erniang's affinity with the woman named Chunzhi, the next thing, I am afraid that there will be a headache for Tian Da.

Although there are some feelings about Mrs. Tian's death, the Tian family is like this, which is also good for the Li family, so the Tian family is too busy to take care of themselves, so they have no heart to suppress their peers, and the Li family can take the opportunity to develop without distractions.

Thinking about it, Zhenniang raised her eyebrows again. She suddenly remembered that at the end of last year, Tian Benchang signed a contract for cooperation and development with everyone as soon as he went. So I want to come. I'm afraid that the Tian family will not be very stable at that time. And Chunzhi is just a trigger, Tian Benchang is also afraid that after the Tian family has an accident, he will call them the Li family and the Cheng family to take advantage of it, so he took precautions early.

From this point of view, this contract of cooperation and development is the protection of the Tian family, and this Tian Benchang is planning ahead.

Just thinking about it, the Tian family's funeral procession passed away from everyone's eyes. Then the Li family and his entourage also continued on the road.

Yuliang Wharf is full of porters, and the people who want to board the boat are lined up, this situation, except for the anachronistic factors such as clothing, is somewhat similar to the station during the Spring Festival in later generations.

Most of the people in Huizhou do business outside every year, most of them are like Zhen Niang, who came back for the New Year to worship their ancestors before the New Year, and set off in a hurry after the New Year.

"Zhen worship, this is back to Nanjing." This is. A gentle voice came, and Zhen Niang looked back. But it was Luo Wenqian, except for the day when he was young, during this time, Zhen Niang was busy, but she didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Luo family.

But I also faintly heard that the ink worker who came to pay New Year's greetings said that the Luo family had made a fortune and opened a money village in Nanjing, and now the Luo clan is preparing to rebuild the ancestral house, and said that the young master of the Luo family will take several Luo family sons and nephews to the south to develop this time, and so on, I have heard a lot.

Of course, she knows most of this, and as for rebuilding the ancestral house or something, it is inevitable.

"Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity, all the best." Zhen Niang said with a smile, but secretly pouted, this first began to call her Miss Li, then called her Zhen Girl, and then called her Zhen Da Shopkeeper, and now she is called Zhen Worship, in that accent, there always seems to be a little bit of ridicule, of course, it may also be that she is too careful.

"Rejoice and rejoice." Luo Wenqian said. was about to continue talking, but he heard a cough behind him, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Li Jingfu standing behind him, looking not very good. also turned his face and glared at Zhenniang.

Zhenniang touched her nose, since the day she was a child, her father saw her talking to Luo Wenqian, but he didn't mention her less, her daughter's family, don't talk to young men.

However, due etiquette is always required, not to mention, Luo Wenqian has helped her several times, but it seems that the father and Luo Wenqian are a little unhappy in the north, but fortunately it is not a mortal enemy, yes, she will not be entangled in it, turn around and board the boat first, but wait at the bow of the boat, for fear that the two will really fall out.

"Uncle Li boarded the ship." Luo Wenqian was busy and humble.

"Let's talk together." Li Jingfu was afraid of this kid's way, so he took Luo Wenqian with him.

"I heard that your money bank is doing well?" The two chatted while boarding the boat, outsiders didn't know very well, thinking that Nanjing's money village belonged to Luo Jiuyi, but Li Jingfu knew that Nanjing's money village was from Luoshan Bay in the north, and he even heard that Qi Shuai also had a part in it.

"TOEFL, it's okay." Luo Wenqian said haha.

"I have a business that I can't handle?" Li Jingfu asked.

"How can you not take business if you have it? It's just that Fu Ye can make small money? Luo Wenqian didn't know what Li Jingfu had in mind, but asked suspiciously.

"A little profit, not a big one, I'm afraid Luo Jiu you won't be able to look down on it." Li Jingfu said calmly.

"As long as there is money to be made, it doesn't matter how much." Luo Jiu responded.

Then Li Jingfu waved his hand and took the bag of copper coins brought by the Li family's nephew on the side, which was quite heavy, weighing twenty or thirty catties, and put it in front of Luo Jiu: "I want to exchange these copper coins for silver." ”

"Daddy......" Zhen Niang saw this scene on the bow of the boat, and couldn't help rolling her eyes, this money is prepared for Mozhuang, this era is not better than the later generations, where there are banks to exchange money conveniently, although the merchant has silver tickets or something, usually also use silver to trade, but most of the time, you still have to use copper money to trade, that is, the government stipulates that the tax is also determined to be paid in copper money.

Therefore, when some businessmen go out, they use boxes to hold copper coins, and the Li family's twenty or thirty pounds of copper coins are really not much, but this is to be used, what kind of silver is exchanged?

"It's okay, let him count the points first, and then we'll talk about whether to change it or not." Li Jingfu waved his hand indifferently.

"I said Fu Ye, you think I'm too idle." Luo Wenqian raised his eyebrows at this time, this Fu Ye obviously did it on purpose.

"I see that you are quite idle, wandering, young man, time is fleeting, and leisure is unacceptable." Li Jingfu is serious, and he teaches the younger ones with the attitude of the elders.

"Well, what Fu Ye teaches is that the little ones are taught. It just so happens that the small one has the fire clouds of the northern land, and the elders have to teach them, and the small ones should be honored, and please don't dislike them. Luo Wenqian also looked like a junior being taught, and he also returned the salute.

It's just that this kid is also ill-intentioned, the fire burning cloud wine in the north is like the burning knife in later generations, in the north, Fu Ye drank this wine and drank a drunk, Luo Wenqian This can be regarded as "repaying the peach".

Luo Wenqian's idea Li Jingfuyan didn't understand, this was to see his jokes, in the north, he was a little confused about the jokes he made when he was drunk, but the north was bitter cold, and homesickness, if there was no wine, that day would be really unbearable. Besides, in the Northland, everyone uses fake names, and no one recognizes anyone, so they let go, but this time they are back, except for the family, Li Jingfu is planning to drink no more.

Therefore, listening to Luo Wenqian say this, he glared first, and then waved his hand to let his nephew take down the bag of money, and then ordered someone to move the goods into the cabin one by one, but he was too lazy to pay attention to Luo Wenqian, anyway, fighting with that kid, he rarely took advantage of it.

"Girl, come into the cabin and count the points, don't pay attention to some boring idlers, etc." Li Jingfu said to Zhen Niang, who was still standing in the aisle of the boat.

"Ugh." Zhen Niang looked at Luo Wenqian's somewhat depressed appearance, and responded with a smile.

"Tell your father, let him stay away from the Qin family, especially the Qin family's business, don't touch it." Luo Wenqian touched his nose, but his expression was a little cautious.

“weishenme? The Qin family has a life-saving grace for my father? Zhen Niang looked at Luo Wenqian's caution and knew that he was not reminding him blindly, but the Qin family had the grace to save his life, so how could he say that he was far away?

"I only know roughly that the Qin family is likely to have something to do with the Tartars." Luo Wenqian said.

"Is that true?" Hearing Luo Wenqian say this, Zhenniang's heart suddenly rose, this is not a joke.

"Some time ago, Qi Shuai's subordinates once caught a Tartar intercrop, that is a businessman from Shanxi, he recruited it, although the evidence is not sufficient, and it is not completely certain, but after all, let your father be careful, at least the Qin family's business must not be touched." Luo Wenqian explained again.

"Okay, Xiexie, I got it." Zhenniang nodded heavily. Although Luo Wenqian said that the evidence was insufficient, and he could not be completely sure, in fact, it must be eight or nine, otherwise, Luo Wenqian would not have reminded him so carefully.

Zhen Niang said, arching her hand at Luo Wenqian.
