"I'm going to Southern Province!"

In the Lixiang Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion, Xue Pan said categorically.

Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai's mother and daughter were both startled when they heard this, and Aunt Xue said curiously: "You evil obstacle, you don't even want to live in peace for a moment." It's not good for you to lie down on your corpse and cultivate obediently, what do you spend going to Southern Province? ”

Xue Baochai understood a little at the moment, although her brother is a fool, he is also a decent person.

This time, he was whipped for no reason, not only losing face outside, but also unable to raise his head among his relatives.

What's even more difficult is that he was threatened, and he really didn't dare to go to Xixie Street, and he was taught a lesson by his uncle Wang Ziteng and couldn't get out.

Aunt Xue stared at him day and night, and he was not allowed to go out.

And he himself was afraid that after he went out, he would run into that gangster and be beaten again.

In this way, wouldn't this be as difficult for him as being in prison?

I heard Xue Pan Zhengse say: "Now there is not much money in the family, I am the pillar of the Xue family, where can I sit still?" Mom, I'm going to go to the southern provinces, go to the shops in the provinces, go to the shops, go some more goods, earn more silver and come back, and make gold bracelets for you and your sister to wear. ”

What is the ......

Alas.

Baochai sighed in her heart, because she didn't need to look much to know that her mother, Aunt Xue, must have been moved to tears by the great filial son.

Sure enough, Aunt Xue choked up and scolded: "You wicked obstacle, you use these words to coax me and your sister all day long." If you really have this heart, why bother to provoke that kiln sister and cause so many troubles? Don't go anywhere, just stay at home. ”

Xue Pan was anxious when he heard this, and jumped to his feet and said: "In the past, it was always said that I was not motivated, and I was a failure, but now I finally gathered my heart and wanted to work hard, but my mother didn't say that she was encouraging, how could she still hit me?" ”

Aunt Xue ignored it and only said, "Your uncle said that you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

For her, no amount of money can compare to Xue Pan's safety.

If she didn't keep her son by her side, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep well even at night.

Xue Pan was annoyed, and said angrily: "Uncle said lightly, but he forgot how many good ones his family Wang Li and Wang Yi have together?" How have I ever caused trouble on weekdays, it was others who took the initiative to provoke me, it was because of Xiangling's prodigal hooves that killed people, and the ball didn't bring people to our house to snatch people, I would let people beat him? This time I walked well on the road, and the king came to beat me, and in my uncle's eyes, it was not mine. What good thing did his two bear sons do? That's the master who eats people and doesn't spit out bones! But the bullying of my father is gone, so he relies on his identity as an uncle to suppress me. If he hadn't lived in his uncle's house and had his aunt to protect him, he was afraid that he would have taken care of all the money in the Xue family......"

Hearing Xue Pan's complaint, Aunt Xue looked shocked and reprimanded: "What are you talking about, you evil obstacle? ”

Xue Pan was unconvinced: "If it weren't for the fear that his Wang family would have a thief's heart, why would my mother take me and my sister to settle in Jia's house?" It is said that the world is big, and my uncle is the biggest, but I have never heard of my uncle's family being the biggest. If it weren't for the Wang family, his aunt was the Jia family, why did our family bother to be relatives and guests for a few years? ”

Aunt Xue was stunned when she heard this, her eyes trembled with anger, and Xue Baochai also felt aggrieved in her heart, but she persuaded: "Brother don't talk about these nonsense and angry mom, if you really have the heart to be motivated, it will naturally be a good thing." It's just that it's almost the end of the year, where is my brother going? ”

Xue Pan hesitated when he heard this, should he accompany his mother and sister to celebrate the New Year before leaving?

But when he thought about spending his days in Lixiangyuan like a year, he couldn't spend a day, so he shook his head again and again and said: "Sister, you don't understand the business outside, the more you are in the New Year, the easier the business will be, and the more prosperous it will be." ”

Seeing that he was going out with a dead heart, Xue Baochai sighed in his heart and asked, "Where is that brother going?" I have to tell my mother and me, otherwise we will be worried and we won't know where to worry. ”

Xue Pan shook his head and said: "Of course, I went to Gusu Yangzhou, that area is the richest place in the world, and I will definitely do a lot if I go." ”

Aunt Xue: "......"

Xue Baochai: "......"

Being a little embarrassed by the staring of these two girls, Xue Pan scratched his head and said with a smile: "Mom, sister, you can see my thoughts?" ”

Aunt Xue scolded angrily: "Your evil obstacle is not as shallow as a urine pit, who can't see your thoughts?" I can't figure it out, what's so good about that brother Qiang, he went to Yangzhou, and you still caught up? If he didn't make trouble, he would have borrowed 20,000 taels from you, and you wouldn't have been able to afford that kiln sister! ”

Xue Pan was speechless and said, "Mom, even if you are annoyed, you can't be unreasonable." When people lend me money, how can they still borrow it and become a villain? ”

Xue Baochai stopped Aunt Xue and said to Xue Pan: "Brother, if you leave, what about Hua Jieyu?" After all, the person who spent 100,000 taels of silver to buy it lost it like this, isn't it ......?"

Xue Pan smiled proudly: "The one who started the ball must have ambushed someone waiting for me at the mouth of Xixie Street and Alley, I don't like them, so I won't go over there!" As for Hua Jieyu and Yuan Bao'er, it's okay, they can't be lost, as long as they don't leave the Taiping Guild Hall, no one dares to rob them. When Brother Qiang and I come back from the south, it will naturally be mine. When the time comes, let those balls wait, I have to avenge this!! ”

……

Outside Shenjing City, Zhaojiazhuang.

Looking at the only son who was kneeling on the ground without saying a word but with a stubborn face, Zhao Donglin felt as if a big stone was pressed on his chest, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said: "You are obsessed with weaving, printing and dyeing, and you don't know people's hearts and sinister people. Although I have traveled with me to some places, tell me, how have you ever cared about this? What do you know about human relations? Now that I think about it, that Jia Qiang, how old is she, she thinks about people's hearts to the worst, and also leaves countermeasures, so that Jia Zhen steals chickens and rice, how vicious and cunning is her heart? Can you deal with such a person? If he makes it bad again, and now on the cusp of the storm, with the protection of the emperor, even your uncle can't do anything about him. What if you go, he will teach you to weave and dye? He is our Zhao family's big enemy, not a friend! ”

Zhao Bo'an's face was pale, in the words of Jia Qiang's previous life, it was a natural technique, listening to what his father said, he thought about it, looked at Zhao Donglin, and said: "If my father took out 30,000 taels of silver to find Jia Yun from the beginning, there would be no such things." ”

"You!!"

Although Zhao Donglin himself knew that this was most likely the case, even Zhao Bohong didn't say it, firstly, to take care of his face, and secondly, businessmen should have minimized costs and maximized benefits.

Unexpectedly, his own son directly broke it.

Zhao Donglin's face turned red, but he didn't beat or scold, because this stupid son was his only son after all......

The shopkeeper Li, who had not dared to speak out on the side, bowed down and said: "Second master, it's all my fault, I'm the head of the dyeing workshop, but I can't recognize the problem in the recipe, it's my incompetence, I voluntarily deduct this year's dividends." However, this matter has little to do with my brother. Although he also participated in the verification of the recipe, I still have to say a fair word, this recipe, no matter which of the eight major stalls in the capital is replaced, may not be able to chew it thoroughly. The Hengsheng Wang family got the recipe three days earlier than our family, and his family got the serious recipe, but his family's cloth really reached the pure color in these two days, which shows the difficulty of the recipe. Second master, if it's ......"

In the end, Zhao Donglin, who has been a trader for many years, quickly suppressed the anger and annoyance in his heart, waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Li, it's just a small problem, it's not as serious as you said, just fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, what is it worth to me Zhao Donglin?" Just spend money to buy a lesson. I just don't want Bo'an to go to Jiangnan to find Na Jia Qiang, this person is really too ruthless, and he is really a person who will be repaid. I'm worried that Boan is not familiar with the world, and if I collide with him, the consequences will be ......."

The old shopkeeper Li said with a smile: "The second master is afraid that he wants to be bad, although my brother doesn't like to socialize and doesn't like to eat banquets, but he is sincere and kind, even if it is a newly recruited clay-legged apprentice in the dyeing workshop, he can treat each other warmly, teach hand-in-hand, and do not take the apprentice master to beat and scold and bully people at will." To put it irreverently, to be honest, in the Zhao family's dyeing workshop, the second master, your prestige may not be comparable to that of your brother. ”

"Oh? Really? ”

Zhao Donglin was deeply skeptical.

Old Shopkeeper Li smiled: "Where do you dare to deceive the second master?" It's also because my brother can't let go in front of the second master, so he seems ...... In short, the second master can rest assured that his brother can take on a big responsibility. Besides, I can't leave when I go to Jiangnan to get a recipe, who can take on such a big responsibility in the dyeing workshop except for my brother? Besides, since Jia Qiang was willing to stay on the front line and didn't do anything to the end, it means that he didn't want to be an enemy of the Zhao family. If a good person like my brother goes to ask him for advice with an open heart, even if he refuses to teach, he will never do anything bad. ”

When Zhao Donglin heard this, he sighed deeply, looked at his only son and said, "Okay, if you like to go, then love to go." If Na Jia Qiang receives the money, and really gives you the real recipe, and then sends you back intact, I will leave this knot. Only when I was blind and admitted to defeat. I swallowed this loss! But if he dares to bully you and give you grievances, don't bear it, just go home. I, Dongsheng Zhao family, will never die with him! ”

As for seeking advice, Zhao Donglin is not crazy yet, how can he think of such a childish and ridiculous thing.

Alas, it is difficult to be a father......
