Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Deep, Deep Pit

A day of disturbance has passed, and this day is really like surfing for the Li family, one wave is higher than the other.

In the evening, several people in the eighth room of the Li family had dinner at the side of Changzong. Then he walked slowly towards the city gate.

"Oh, I said before that I don't know whether to buy a piece of land to build a house, or buy a house directly, but no matter what, it will take a while to move away from the city gate, but I didn't expect to move so soon." Zhao also has a feeling of being in a dream. When I had dinner before, the seventh room had already determined the moving date with the eighth room, and just three days later, I had seen the perpetual calendar, and it was appropriate to move.

"Mother, didn't you say that you don't like to take advantage of the Yanzong, and our family lives comfortably in the city gate cave? You're glad you're moving now. Zhen Niang led the way with a dead wind lamp in one hand, and turned back to her mother and joked.

"That's what it was, I don't like to take care of it now, as for moving, that's another thing, okay, the yard on the side of the ancestral house was originally assigned to our family. This time, we got our things back, and my mother was naturally happy. Zhao said angrily.

"Oh, I see." Zhen Niang deliberately had a tone of sudden realization.

"This girl, speaking of which, is also a person who can do big things, and she is also funny as a mother, there are no rules, and she begs to be beaten." On the side, Wu said with a smile.

"Oh, when it comes to doing big things, you girl, you have to give me a good explanation today." At this time, Zhao stretched out his index finger and pointed at Zhenniang: "Tell me, when did you go to the yamen to set up that deed of mutual agreement?" For such a big thing, I can't breathe at home, your wings are hard? Zhao said first.

I was angry again: "I said you girl." Are you lacking the heart or how do you be, you have done so many things for the ink shop. After so much heart, the co-authorship is all about making wedding dresses for the seventh room. Are you stupid or not? ”

Zhao said, but he stretched out his hand and slapped Zhen Niang a few times angrily.

"Mother, I'm not stupid, even if I have the book of the seventh grandmother, do you think we can really occupy the ink shop? I'll tell you, it's okay if Mofang doesn't make money, if you want to make money, people with all kinds of thoughts will come, and when the time comes. Just a few people in our family, can withstand so many Li clan people? In the end, the name is not right. When I was out talking to someone about business, I might get shot in the back. Zhen Niang said.

At that time, Zhen Niang felt that it was not appropriate to take it, but if she didn't take it, Mofang would take the old road of genealogy again, and Li Jincai would get it. That's why I discussed with Mr. Li's shopkeeper. Zuihou Li Lao shopkeeper asked her to make this deed of mutual agreement.

Resist for a while, support Brother You'er, and they will retire after completing the eighth room.

Now, of course, the results are much better.

Then he said, "Say it again." Why didn't I breathe with the family, I told my grandfather, and it was my grandfather who asked me to do this. If you're really happy, you tell grandpa to go. ”

"You damn girl. Don't use your grandfather as a shield. Zhao slapped Zhen Niang again, and then sighed: "That's the case." ”

After speaking. sighed with relief: "It can be regarded as a good intention, and you can be regarded as a meritorious service to the eighth room." And your dowry, my mother, I am much more relieved. ”

At least even if Zhenniang has no support in the future, she can have a peaceful and happy life. Li's Ink Shop has been famous for hundreds of years, and this ingredient is more real than the dowry of more than ten generations of some wealthy families.

"If you are willing to give up, you can only get if you are willing to give up, mother." On the side, Wu said something quite philosophical.

Zhen Niang was also smiling on the side.

The Seventh Grandmother would do this, and Zhenniang was a little surprised. But that one percent of the people, Zhen Niang is also the one who deserves it.

"Alas, it's a pity that your father is gone, but he wants to make money to buy back the two components that belong to our family, if he is alive at this time, he must be very happy, maybe he will have to play two hands again." Zhao looked up at the stars in the sky at this time, and sighed a little.

The so-called playing with two hands, since it is also a gamble, if it is usual, Li Jingfu wants to say that he is playing with two hands, and Zhao will hate it very much, but at this time, Zhao himself said that he is playing with two hands, but he is quite touched.

Li Jingfu's uncompetitive appearance back then, when he was alive, Zhao had a lot of complaints about him, but he had been married for many years, and after all, he had the kindness of husband and wife.

"Zhenniang, go home and let your father inject incense, and tell your father about today's events, so that your father can leave his burden and go to reincarnation with peace of mind." At this time, the old shopkeeper Li said.

"Hmm." Zhenniang nodded.

And while he was speaking, he entered the cave of the city gate. In the long alleys of the city gate, the air dead wind lamps hanging in some shops on the side swayed in the cold wind, and a cold snowflake fell on Zhenniang's cheek.

It's snowing.

Several members of the Li family entered the house with snowflakes. The brazier at home is already burning. As soon as I entered the house, I lowered the thick cotton curtain on the door, and the room was warm.

The first thing she did when she entered the house, Zhen Niang went to her father's tablet and put on a piece of incense in a proper manner. Then he told the story and went out of the house.

Outside the house, although the old shopkeeper Li and the Wu family were a little tired, they obviously didn't feel sleepy when they encountered something like today. Therefore, the family sat around the brazier and chatted.

The shopkeeper of Mr. Li first asked about the Li family's Dalang Oil Mill.

"There are a lot of oil withdrawals these days, but fortunately, Zhenniang found two people for me, and they are very neat, otherwise they would be really busy." Li Dalang said. You must know that the oil is not only oiled, but also all kinds of troubles.

During this time, Li Dalang was busy with one of the first two big.

"What's going on? Where do you find two people for your eldest brother? The old shopkeeper Li asked Zhen Niang curiously.

Zhen Niang told the two workers of the ink mill about what they were talking about that day, and then said: "At that time, if it wasn't for the strict handling, the rumors would have confused the minds of the ink mill workers, so I made a heavy hand." ”

"Well, that's right, doing business, although it is said to be harmonious and profitable, but in terms of smelting, it is like a family, William is doing both." Old Li shopkeeper nodded, he was born as a shopkeeper. I know how to deal with these things.

Then he said to Li Dalang: "Dalang learn." ”

In Mr. Li's opinion, Li Dalang is not a good material for business. Too loyal. Although doing business should also be loyal and righteous. Kindness can be endless.

But you can't be a good person, there is nothing to do in this way to do a small business, if you become big, all kinds of things will appear. However, fortunately, Da Lang is now working with the eldest son of the ninth room, and the kid in the body has a hand, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

"That's right. Grandpa, I plan to go to Wuyuan in two days, sell another batch of inkstones, and the oil mill will be able to operate again. At this time, Li Dalang said that the coal stove workshop had been sold, and it was sold to the city gate cave Daxi them. Now he is devoted to running an oil mill, and he has worked in the oil mill for many years, which is more familiar than the coal stove business.

"Hmm. Yes, by the way, you remember to pay off the medicine fee from the ink mill, and we will take care of the things in this oil mill. It can't be mixed with the ink shop, this aspect has to be cleared. "Old Li shopkeeper said.

"I know, when I come back from Wuyuan. Just go and settle it. Li Dalang said.

At this time, Brother Xi'er on the side jumped over with a fire basket in his hand: "Second sister." I heard that Nanjing's aunt is here, but did she bring anything strange? ”

Children are always especially interested in this kind of thing that comes to relatives. Especially Nanjing. That's Liudu, a big city person.

"I don't know about strange things, I know she'll scold me as soon as she comes." Zhen Niang was a little angry. The eldest aunt is full of aura.

"Why is she swearing? She is now a member of the Han family, and her hand is stretched out so long, and she still takes care of the affairs of the Li family? While Zhao frowned, he continued, and then lowered his voice and said: "When I was eating before, I heard that my aunt seemed to be borrowing money from Aunt Qi'er, and as soon as she opened her mouth, it was two thousand taels, and Aunt Qi scolded her back. ”

"Two thousand taels, what is the eldest aunt going to do?" Zhen Niang couldn't help but be surprised, don't look at her batch of goods sold to Huiyuan Qianzhuang for more than eight taels, but that is gross profit, deducting costs, etc., the profit is only three thousand taels, plus the future investment of the ink workshop, and then deducting the profits of each family and the expenditure of the clan study Yizhuang, there is not much left of Zuihou.

How can there be so much money to borrow!

Speaking of which, Li's ink shop has been inherited for hundreds of years, but the previous operation has not been able to get out of the predicament, only between maintenance, and sometimes Zhenniang also doesn't understand it.

"I heard that I want to buy some land? It was Xu Xiang's third daughter-in-law who took her to do it, and the land price was very cheap, so she wanted to buy a little bit and buy a family business. Zhao said.

Zhen Niang's eyes widened when she listened: "Xu Xiangke is Xu Ge's old Xu Jie?" ”

"Go, Lord Xu's name is also what you can call?" Zhao glared at Zhenniang.

"Then who asked you to say Xu Xiang, we don't have a Xiangye." Zhenniang replied calmly. However, although there is no father, in the people, the bigwigs in the cabinet will be commensurate with so-and-so.

"The eldest aunt is very good, she can actually climb the people of Xu Ge's hometown." Zhen Niang said again.

"Xu Ge is an official in the court, and their son is doing business in Songjiang, Nanjing and other places, and the Han family is also an old man in the weaving industry in Nanjing, and some relationships are normal." On the side, the old shopkeeper said.

He had been in Nanjing back then, and he knew a thing or two about this aspect.

And Zhen Niang was thinking at this time, the eldest aunt should not get involved with the people of the Xu Jie family, let alone the affairs of this land.

Xu Jie is a cow, but he can't stand the years and forgive people, and soon after Longqing lands, it will be time for him to return to his hometown.

Originally, he was honored to return to his hometown, and there were countless protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials in the court, so no one dared to provoke him. The son of the family has a few rooms under his protection, and it is also mixed in the business world.

But there are many mountains and tigers, and in the years of the Ming Dynasty, there has always been no shortage of cattle.

Soon Nanjing Songjiang and other places will usher in a cow, Ying Tian Governor Hai Rui, the first big case he investigated was land annexation, and the first person he recruited was Xu Jie, Xu Ge Lao.

Although there are many people in the old court of Xu Ge, he can't stand Hai Rui's iron-faced selflessness. Zuihou not only withdrew from the annexed land, but his third son also went to the army to eat hard food.

It's a big pit, a deep, deep hole......

A big pit that can bury people!

………………

Well, there's only one shift today. (To be continued......)
