Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Return of the Eighth Room
Zhenniang was very calm, she didn't do it noblely or anything, but she really felt inappropriate at the time.
First, the eighth and seventh rooms had a battle for the inheritance of the ink workshop in their early years, and if she really accepted the ink workshop, it didn't matter now. can you grow up in the future, how can you be willing.
At that time, it is common sense that Bafang will inevitably be charged with a crime of stealing the inheritance of the sect. Wouldn't that lead to a lot of fighting, and often a family dies in such infighting?
Therefore, after discussing with the old shopkeeper Li that day, she wrote down this deed of mutual covenant and handed it over to the yamen, and only announced this deed of mutual covenant when Brother You was older in the future.
It's just that I didn't expect that the old lady even knew this.
"Even so, it doesn't mean that Bafang has no selfish intentions, don't forget, the victims of the tung oil poisoning incident, they are still being treated in the medicine hall. The medicine money is still paid there by a few accounting rooms in the ink workshop, and I heard that there is still no limit to the payment of the bills, why should we bear the disaster of the eight rooms? Tian was still unwilling.
Of course, she also knew that this matter must have been nodded by the old lady, and now it was a bit far-fetched for her to say so, she just wanted to prove as much as possible that she was not too wrong.
"Yes, mother, Zhen Niang did a good job, but one yard is one yard, the incident in the eighth room back then, but it almost hurt the entire Li family, there is no reason for the ink shop to carry the eight rooms like this, this is also unfair to other clans. Besides, Zhen Niang's business with Huiyuan Money Village this time, although it is said that it has not been deducted, I think this business is still not reliable. Not to mention anything else, this business was signed by Zhenniang and Sun Bai at the beginning. Does the of Huiyuan Qianzhuang admit it? This one is still owed, although it has Huiyuan Money Bank as collateral. But that Mrs. Xu Hai is really from Haikou, if she doesn't recognize it. We don't necessarily have to help her. I heard that the sum of money is more than 8,000 taels, which is really going to be lost, and the Li family is afraid that they will not be able to turn over. At this time, the eldest aunt on the side, Han Li, also came forward.
Speaking of Han Li's coming over this time, in addition to visiting Mrs. Li, the most important thing is to borrow money, and now that the Li family has such a large amount of uncollected money, she is naturally very concerned.
"Hmph, I haven't taught you a lesson yet. You jumped out on your own. Old Madam Li glared at Han Li.
"Her aunt, this money has already been recovered." At this time, Chen on the side said with a smile.
"Really? Didn't you say you didn't pay? Han Li looked surprised, since she was ready to borrow money, she naturally inquired about the family's financial situation. On the side of the ink shop, she also went to ask Steward Shao, and they all said that this amount of money was not paid, and now the people in the ink shop are also worried, for fear that this amount of money will be the same as the previous uncollected money, and it will become a dead account that cannot be recovered. At that time, Li Mo is really going to be finished.
One of the people who do business is afraid that there is no business, and the other is that they are afraid of this kind of arrears.
In later generations, many enterprises were dragged to death by triangular debts.
At this time, Chen continued: "When Zhen Niang was doing this business, although she signed an unpaid contract with that Sun Baiyi, it was for others to see. In fact. She had already told Mrs. Xu that Mrs. Xu would hand over the money to me, and that was because of this. I didn't feel right, so I told the old lady about it. The old lady focused on finding out the layout of the white-eyed wolf. Otherwise, this time. Li Jiamofang may not really fall into the hands of this white-eyed wolf, his layout is really thorough. It can be said that Zhen Niang has made a great contribution to this incident. ”
Hearing Chen's words, everyone looked at Zhen Niang in surprise, although at the beginning, it was Zhen Niang who exposed the location of the hidden goods, but when the old lady came out, everyone naturally thought that all this was Chen's appointment with Zhen Niang, and it was the layout of the old lady, and they didn't expect Zhen Niang to have any credit in this.
"Zhenniang, how do you know that there is a ghost behind this business?" While Da Huang asked curiously.
"Yes, Zhenniang." On the other hand, the Zhao family also looked strange, this girl has become a god.
"It's not unusual, when Steward Zheng told me about this business, I also thought that this business was the top haode. It's just that I happen to know that behind Huiyuan Qianzhuang is Mrs. Xu Hai, she is used to running by sea, needless to say, these inks must be sold to the East and West. I thought at the time, no, Qi Shuai was effective in resisting the Japanese a few years ago, and now the coastal defense is strong, isn't I just afraid that the ship will have an accident at sea and implicate the Li family? I didn't want to do this business, but this business can allow the Li family to get rid of their burdens and travel lightly. Besides, overseas business is the way that all businesses want to go, and now that I have this opportunity, I don't want to let it go. So I found Mrs. Xu Hai directly, I wanted to remind her, don't rush to sea for the time being, wait for the situation to get better in two years before going to sea, anyway, ink is not something that can't be put in. didn't think about it, when I went to talk to Mrs. Xu about it, I found that Mrs. Xu didn't know about this business at all, so I made a trick, as for the back, it was all the credit of the old lady, and Zhenniang didn't dare to take credit. Zhen Niang said modestly.
As for the fact that she had long been guarding against Li Jincai, those unknown prophets who were all derived from the genealogy were not easy to talk about.
"Oh, I see." Everyone listened to Zhenniang's explanation, but it was reasonable.
"As for helping Bafang solve the problem of medicine expenses, it was my decision, not to mention anything else, just this business, you also know that it is more than 8,000 taels, plus because of Zhenniang, Li's Mofang avoided a disaster, therefore, these are all deserved by Bafang. Whoever wants to have a different idea, come to me and tell me directly. At this time, Old Madam Li glanced coldly at Tian and Han Li and said.
Han Li naturally didn't open his mouth with a sneering face, but he was relieved in his heart, with such a sum of money, then she would open her mouth and ask her mother to borrow it.
So he sat aside and thought about how to speak in private.
And now that Tian has arrived, he also knows that the general trend has gone, and he moved his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.
"Tomorrow I will ask someone from the Tian family to pick you up, just think that Tian wants to ask you to go back to take care of your mother, in short, everyone has a good face, you can do it yourself in the future." If there is really a difficulty, before you get married, you are still the daughter-in-law of the Li family. Someone can send me a letter. "Old man Li is humane again.
"Yes." Seeing that there was no way back, Tian had no choice but to respond. Besides, she felt that Mrs. Li arranged it like this. Maybe that's not a bad thing. After all, there is no woman who has no children under the paint, but she is really willing to guard it like this.
Zhen Niang watched from the side, although the genealogy said that the Tian family would serve soon after returning to the Tian family, but the current situation is very different from the genealogy, and it is difficult to say whether the Tian family will go back to the original road.
After all, just as the seventh grandmother advised, do it yourself.
"Besides, I have something to announce." Then. Old Madam Li glanced at everyone and said again.
Everyone is staring at Mrs. Li, there are too many things today, one stubble after another, some people can't take care of it.
"When Li Jiagongmo had an accident, although it was because of the eighth room, it was Jingfu who fell on the path of the Luo family. And the Luo family won the right to pay tribute to the ink with this, and now the Luo family has disappeared, and there is no need to mention the past grievances. But the eighth room has to give an explanation after all. Back then, Bafang spent all his family wealth to make up for his mistakes, and he did his best, but the punishment of that year was really too much. Now Zhenniang has a great contribution to saving the crisis in Mofang, so it is time for the eighth room to compensate......"
Speaking of this, Old Madam Li paused. looked around at everyone, and then at the sixth old man and Li Jingdong. Both nodded.
The head of a family should be punished if he has done his faults. Meritorious service is rewarded.
At this time, Zhenniang knew that Li Mo's accident was because of the Luo family. However, it is also reasonable to think about it, after all, the Li family Gongmo had an accident and lost the right to pay tribute, and the right to pay tribute to the ink fell to the Luo family, and the Luo family was the beneficiary.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but think of Luo Wenqian's letter again.
"Therefore, I decided to return the two components that originally belonged to the eighth room in the ink workshop to the eight rooms, and in addition, Zhen Niang here, take out another part from our ancestor as a dowry for Zhen Niang." Mrs. Li said, and then said to the old shopkeeper Li: "Eighth uncle, you think this is good, Li Mo is now a talent to zero, and the eighth uncle should also give full play to his residual heat, we are old, and our health is not good, but it is still possible to teach and teach the children, what do you think?" ”
Zhen Niang was surprised at this time, the shares of the Li family ink workshop are sixty percent of the sect, two percent of the nine rooms, one percent of the six rooms, and one percent of the six rooms, but the zuihou one percent is all the people of the Li clan, and the zuihou is involved in the ancestral training, all the children of the Li family, just willing to bear hardships and stand hard work, can find the foundation of their lives in the ink workshop.
At the same time, the income of zuihou is used to build a clan and Yizhuang, or to subsidize the poor students in the clan to study, which is the foundation of the long-term prosperity of a large clan.
And the old lady is like this, which is equivalent to setting aside thirty percent of the eight rooms at once, of course, the one percent of zuihou belongs to the Li clan is also under the control of the Yan Sect, but even so, the eight rooms of the Li family have become the second largest shareholder of Mofang.
Mrs. Li's hand is not small.
Zhenniang couldn't help but turn her face to look at her grandfather.
And the old shopkeeper Li had red eyes at this time, his lips trembled slightly, and he was obviously in a very agitated mood.
Back then, because of that unfilial son, he took all the responsibilities, and the eighth room of the Li family was expelled from the Li family's ink workshop, and he was not allowed to use his ink skills. Although the eighth room of the Li family was not expelled from the Li family, in fact, the situation was similar to being expelled from the Li family, like duckweed without roots. He's been bent all these years.
And the reason why his body has been wanting to deteriorate all these years is precisely because he is holding his breath in his heart.
Now Mrs. Li's words are justice to the eighth room. In fact, he didn't care about the two components, but these two components were left to him by the old man back then, and they were also the ones who represented the status of the Li family's eight rooms in the Li family. If he loses these two shares, he feels that he is dead, and he has no shame to see the old man underground.
Now that these two components have been regained, that is, the eight rooms of the Li family have returned to the Li family's ink workshop.
He, Li Jinshui, can finally stand in the ink industry again, how can this not make him excited?
And Zhen Niang experienced the excitement of her grandfather, and at the same time sighed at the ruthlessness of Mrs. Li back then.
Think about the situation back then, you can also know that the old man Li was seriously ill, and since it was a turbulent and unstable period in the Li family's ink workshop, and Li Jinshui had a very high prestige in the ink workshop because of his ink skills, and the old lady Li in order to eliminate hidden dangers, plus because of Li Jingfu back then, the eighth room did bring a crisis of almost destruction to the Li family. The two overlapped, and Mrs. Li wanted to be ruthless, and no one could blame her.
It's just that as the shopkeeper of Old Li, he has borne too much weight.
Seeing the situation of the old shopkeeper Li, the meaning is self-evident, and the old lady Li said to the Wu family who came with the old shopkeeper Li: "Eighth brother and sister, go back and ask the children to prepare for it, I have asked my eldest daughter-in-law to clean up the house on this side of the ancestral house, let's move back, it's good that the family is still together, the old nine is also gone, this time is not much after all, in the future, let's call the old nine daughter-in-law again, when it's okay, how about the three of us wives play horse hanging?" ”
Back then, the eighth room of the Li family was expelled from the Mo family, and the old man Li was also a strong person, so he naturally moved out of the ancestral house.
"Hey...... Wu's nodding vigorously while wiping her tears, she only knew the echo of hey, but in fact, according to her original thoughts, she couldn't let the seventh sister-in-law drip as much as she wanted. But when it came to his mouth, it all turned into a very crisp response.
"Good!" Old Madam Li smiled and nodded.
