In the south of the city, there is a wealthy compound with a tall and majestic wall. The trees inside the wall are lush and green, and many green plants stick out of the wall. The plaque on the gate reads: Wu Mansion.

Under the door plaque, two men are guarded. There are high stairs in front of the door, and two stone lions sit on the left and right.

Jia Jiaqi was in charge, standing at the foot of the steps, looking up at the door, with a hint of envy in his eyes. Stood stunned for a moment. Raised his legs up the stairs, walked to the doorman, and arched his hand: "Jia Jiaqi is in charge, I have something to see Wu Jin." After finishing speaking, he put his hands behind his back and stood sideways, just to enjoy the scenery in front of the door.

The Wu family is a big cloth merchant, and there are often dealers and weavers under the door. Generally, the doorman will drop a little broken silver.

I saw that this person was dressed as a shopkeeper, and the doorman was still thinking about how much he would pay for it.

Who knew that this little shopkeeper actually called the name of the head of the Wu family, and his expression was so arrogant.

If you can be a doorman, you have a bit of eyesight. Looking at each other, one person knocked on the knocker of the door, the door was opened, and the doorman said to the doorman: "There is a shopkeeper of the Jia family, saying that he has something to see Master Wu." ”

The porter glanced at the doorman and closed the door.

After a while, the door opened again, and a steward came out, smiling, and bowed: "It turned out to be the shopkeeper of Qi, and Director Wu is invited!" Come on in! ”

Shopkeeper Qi nodded, looked up and walked into the door. The two men pouted, secretly rejoicing in their hearts.

The head of the Wu family, Wu Jin, is over forty years old. At this time, he was half-lying on a chair in the living room, and a pretty maid knelt on a mat and massaged his thighs. Another maid is on the other side, carefully skewering the fruit with a small skewer. There was also a maid behind her back, gently beating her shoulders and neck.

The Wu family is a local wealthy businessman in Nanchang and has a large number of fertile fields and cotton fields. But it is mainly engaged in cloth and silk, and the cloth line is the first. The Wu family has a great business and a prosperous family. In the Wu family, there are only two ways for a man to get ahead.

First, the imperial examination of reading. Famous teachers, classics, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the Wu family is not lacking, what do you want! Over the years, many children of the Wu family have been promoted. There are two Jinshi, and they have been mixed in the officialdom.

Second, the imperial examination is difficult, and nine out of ten men have to take the second path. Assist in the family business, like martial arts, so go to take the family and take care of the home. Nengwen will calculate, and go to the head of each manor, the shopkeeper, and the account room. The ultimate goal of this path is, principal! He took charge of the Wu family's business and topped the list of powerful people in the Wu family.

The reason why the Wu family can prosper is that it adheres to a principle. The Wu family does not look at the eldest and youngest, does not distinguish between the young, and only allocates the type of work according to ability.

Those who can't stand it, idle people. The Wu family also raises it, but it is only for food and clothing, which is not much better than ordinary people. This kind of person is a minority after all.

Every three years, the elders of the Wu family gather in the ancestral hall to publicly recommend the principal and elect several supervisors. has the ability, can be elected, and can be re-elected, such as Wu Jin, who has been re-elected twice. If you are re-elected again next year, it will be him. As far as business is concerned, Wu Jin has managed the Wu family's business in an orderly manner and is thriving. He is indeed a business talent.

Three years ago, Wu Jin sat in the position of principal for two years, and his foundation gradually stabilized. also made a name for himself! At this time, Wu Jin was full of ambition, complacent, satisfied, and wanted to overflow.

Wu Jin took a fancy to the daughter of the Jia family, a dealer under his family, and she was very high! People are beautiful!

So Wu Jin planned to have a double happiness! Accept people, accept concubines!

I thought that the dowry would be able to enter the door, a thousand gold, and a full tattoo of ten thousand taels of silver!

The two courtyards of the Jia family are only worth five hundred taels. Ten thousand taels, I can buy 20 such two houses! The Jia family, a businessman, has any reason to refuse?

Yes! People don't want to be concubines!

Wu Jin learned that he was furious at that time! A concubine, double happiness! has already shown off to the outside world, and it is known all over the city for a while. Who knows, it was rejected?!

The new principal of the Wu family, shame on him!

Even the old people in the family came out to warn: You can use your own money to take a concubine! But you can't lose the face of the Wu family!

Wu Jin forcibly suppressed his hatred and hired him again, not wanting to be a concubine? Good! Then I will divorce my wife and marry you! See what you say!

Take a concubine instead of a wife! This is a desperate gamble, if it is rejected again, the two will become fire and water!

Who knew that Jia's father was sick and passed away. This time it was rejected again, but this time, it was because of filial piety. Wu Jin did not lose face, and the old people of the Wu family also thought that the matter had passed like this!

But this incident was a setback for Wu Jin when he was in the limelight, and this breath, like a needle, has been piercing his heart. It becomes a seed of resentment and takes root and sprouts.

For Miss Jia, from falling in love with her beauty, she has changed to wanting to ravage and destroy!

Wu Jin didn't dare to give a dowry again, and if he was rejected again, that is, he would bring humiliation on himself!

But today's Wu Jin is more powerful and spicy than back then.

Wu Jin. I want Jia Jingmin to come over obediently and kneel in front of him to take it away!

A steward saluted at the door and said, "Master, the shopkeeper of Jia Jiaqi is here." ”

In front of Wu Jin's eyes, Jia Jingmin's delicate and lovely face flashed. He grabbed the hair of the maid kneeling beside him, and pulled it back, the maid screamed softly, her head was pulled back, and her pretty face was frightened, Wu Jin raised his hand, snap! A slap in the face: "Get out of here!" ”

The three maids hurriedly ran away.

Wu Jin got up and smiled loudly outside the door: "Brother Qi, come in quickly!" Come on, good tea! ”

The shopkeeper followed the steward into the house, and a maid poured tea with her hands and feet. Wu Jin waved his hand, the steward and the maid retreated separately, and in the main hall of Nuoda, there were only two people left, Wu Jin and Qi Shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper Qi gave up his hand and said unhurriedly: "Boss Wu, it's so leisurely!" ”

"Haha! Fusheng steals half a day of leisure. Let the Qi brothers laugh! Brother Qi is a well-known hero, so naturally he disdains me to be so happy. Wu Jin walked to the shopkeeper Qi, pulled the shopkeeper Qi to sit down, and sat sideways beside him.

The shopkeeper Qi opened his mouth, and said with a smile: "Beautiful women are served, who doesn't like it?" It's just that I don't have this life! Boss Wu's life is good! There's it in the bowl, there's it in the pot, and I'm still thinking about the one next door. ”

Wu Jin laughed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and I have this fetish, which is not as ambitious as the Qi brothers." ”

Shopkeeper Qi snorted coldly: "What kind of ambition?" I'm just one thief and two in charge! I came today, first, the Jia family asked you if you could owe two hundred taels of silk on credit, and they didn't have enough cash. Second, I'm telling you, don't wait for next month, close the net now! ”

Wu Jinqi said: "Why? Aren't we negotiating to close the net next month? ”

Shopkeeper Qi shook his head: "The day before yesterday, those few splashes came to make trouble, you arranged it?" ”

"It's not an arrangement, it's just that the people below went to tease a few words. Later, he was beaten by the husband of the Jia family? ”

"That Xiucai is a ruthless character! Moreover, he also has a crush on Miss Jia! These two talented women are better looking, but they look a lot better than you! ”

Wu Jin's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "The original plan was to make a deal of five hundred taels this month, and I am willing to pay it on credit." Next month's trading goes up to 1,000 taels! They will continue to do it! At that time, the Jia family will not be able to repay my debts after selling all the family property, according to the law, the family property will belong to me, and the Jia family's family will also belong to me if they become slaves! So it's perfect! Now close the net, the Jia family has not reached a dead end! How do I get people? ”

"That's up to you, too! But I said ugly things in the front, no matter whether it works out or not, I will go back next month! Also, the conditions we negotiated cannot be changed at all! Hum! ”

Wu Jin's face was gloomy, and his face changed several times.

Shopkeeper Qi said with compassion and compassion: "Boss Wu, even if the Jia family still has vitality, it is still extremely poor, don't you have a lot of means?" If you really give Xiucai a head start and take the lead, hehe, you didn't do this game for nothing? ”

Wu Jin gritted his teeth and said: "If I knew this, this time I would have negotiated a deal of one thousand taels!" Can it be changed now? ”

"No! For these five hundred taels, I will find you to owe two hundred taels on credit, and the Jia family will have to mortgage the jewelry at the bottom of the box! Now rashly add to a thousand, they will definitely give up. ”

Wu Jin finally nodded: "Okay!" Now that you've decided to close the net, the sooner the better! You agreed to deliver the goods tomorrow at noon, and asked them to come to me tomorrow morning to pick up the goods! ”

Shopkeeper Qi smiled: "Everything is according to what Boss Wu said. ”

"Also, bring this back to them. The day after tomorrow, an industry conference will be held. Doesn't it mean that misfortune does not go alone? Wu Jin got up and took out a post and a list from the table on the other side, and handed it to the shopkeeper Qi......

In the living room of the inner courtyard of Jia's house, Jia Jingmin and Jia Song sat opposite each other at the big round table.

Jia Jingmin is serious and particular, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, abacus, and abacus in front of her are neatly placed.

In front of Jia Song, a piece of paper and a charcoal pen.

Mrs. Jia came up with the question and simulated a month's running account. Like Qin Feng, Mrs. Jia also casually arranges the daily purchase, shipment, and price of cloth.

However, Mrs. Jia is familiar with the cloth industry, and whether it is the price or the number of incoming and outgoing goods, she is accustomed to the actual situation. Unlike Qin Feng, who is imaginative, he asks questions for the sake of asking questions.

In fact, the closer the topic is to reality, the smaller the number of silver coins and the smaller the amount of cloth, which does not change much. Even the purchase price and the sales price are the same for several days in a row. Only the amount of cloth has changed slightly.

The difficulty of this kind of question is far from the difficulty of Qin Feng's question. Even if Jia Song is a beginner in mathematics, it feels too simple.

Mrs. Jia didn't know that the purpose of math problems was to detach from reality.

As Mrs. Jia dictated, Jia Jingmin took the pen and carefully recorded it in Chinese characters. Jia Jingmin's title record is like an article, from top to bottom, from left to right, one day at a time. The handwriting is neat and elegant. No wonder he didn't comment on Qin Feng's calligraphy that day. Jia Jingmin's calligraphy is better than Qin Feng.

Jia Song is also recording. He looked up and wrote horizontally on the paper, goods, in, out, and more. Silver taels, income, expenditure, and surplus. A long vertical row on the left, leaving enough space, mark the date, 1, 2, 3......

Mrs. Jia read out the number, and Jia Song recorded it while listing the equation, calculated the result, and wrote the remainder. The daily balance is calculated, and I stop from time to time to wait for my sister's records.

After Mrs. Jia finished reading the question, she said, "Let's go!" ”

Jia Jingmin was waiting to calculate, Jia Song had prepared in advance, made a sufficient gesture, and threw away the charcoal: "The calculation is complete!" ”

Jia Jingmin and Mrs. Jia were dumbfounded......
