When she returned home, Cao Wei did not find comfort, but became even more bitter, because her mother-in-law was lost again!

After hastily eating dinner, Cao Wei was about to undress and fall asleep, Wang Sheng shouted outside the door: "Master, a guest has come to visit, claiming to be surnamed Jiao ......"

"Jiao? Is there still this surname in the world? How arrogant was the ancestor of this family? Cao Wei muttered: "Master Ben doesn't know anyone surnamed Jiao, so he was blown away...... Wait, Master Ben seems to have forgotten something, his surname is Jiao...... I remember, it's the one who has been sending silver to our family, please hurry up! ”

When Cao Wei arrived at the front hall, he found that the person who came was not the Jiao Gongzi who had been sending silver to the house, but an old man in high spirits, wearing a satin shirt, just like an ordinary outsider.

The most unprovoked people in the world are the elderly and children, children are young, what will happen in the future, and no one knows where it will develop. They are the flowers of the future, pioneers and creators, so treat every child with a sincere and loving heart.

And the old man is also a character that cannot be easily provoked, Jiang is still old and spicy, and old and not dead is a thief...... The ancients used so many words to tell future generations a truth, you never know how many things a person has experienced in his life, and you don't know what he will do when he is old, so giving an old man enough respect is a manifestation of responsibility for himself.

Cao Wei arched his hand and said, "I don't know why my uncle is here?" ”

The old man smiled and said: "Old man Jiao Fang, I am the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, I came to visit Lord Cao today for two things, this is the first, the juniors in the family sent 20,000 taels of silver to Lord Cao's house, and I want Lord Cao to help recommend it, I wonder if Lord Cao still remembers this?" ”

Cao Wei was shocked, this matter had long been forgotten by him, he took the money but didn't do anything, and now the parents came to the door, Cao Wei felt a little empty, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Master Jiao, Cao really didn't mean to push, it's really too many things recently, and I forgot about this matter."

In fact, Cao's character in the industry is still very strong, and there will never be a situation where he doesn't do anything with the silver, otherwise I will return the silver to you, what do you think? ”

Jiao Fang had been observing Cao Wei's reaction just now, with his many years of experience as an official, he already had seven or eight points of certainty in his heart, Cao Wei had indeed forgotten about this matter.

What's the matter? Could it be that the money given away can really be recovered?

Jiao Fang smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Cao is busy with official business, and he has been on two missions in a row, and it doesn't matter if he forgets these little things, which is also a blessing that the juniors in the old man's family do not have." As for the silver...... Forget it, just treat it as an old man and give it to adults. ”

Good man, 20,000 taels of silver don't want it, Cao Wei is very willing to make friends with this kind of big money, follow behind this kind of big money, maybe you can pick up tens of thousands of taels of silver from time to time, this is also a way to get rich.

"Master Jiao, you just said that there are two things, so what is the second thing?"

"Hua Xu!" Jiao Fang stroked his beard and said: "The old man wants to invest in Huaxu, I wonder if Lord Cao has a way?" ”

Cao Wei finally began to face the old man in front of him, Hua Xu has always been taken care of by Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and most people don't know that the prince and his three attendants are Hua Xu's owner, and Jiao Fang said this, obviously confirming that Cao Wei is related to Hua Xu, which makes Cao Wei's heart sink.

"Dare to ask Lord Jiao how he learned that Cao is Hua Xu's owner?"

Jiao Fang said with a smile: "Shou Ninghou alone can't support such a big store as Hua Xu, the old man sent someone to investigate, two days before Hua Xu opened, Shou Ning Hou once visited Lord Cao, and also went to the East Palace......

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said: "Don't hide it from Lord Jiao, Cao does have a component in Huaxu, and it is inevitable that Lord Jiao wants to invest in Huaxu, and I ask Lord Jiao to wait for two days, and then give you an answer after Cao has discussed with other owners." ”

"As it should be, the old man won't stay long, Lord Cao doesn't have to send him off, the old man has left!"

Outside Cao's mansion, Jiao Huangzhong saw Jiao Fang come out, and stepped forward to greet him: "Grandpa, what's wrong?" ”

Jiao Fang slowly got into the carriage, and then spoke: "Cao Wei really forgot to recommend you to His Majesty, the old man will not be mistaken." Nowadays, many new science and technology scholars have entered the court as officials, or served in the locality, but you are still waiting at home. I can't afford it anymore, so don't think about the position of squire, the old man will help you find a good errand in the court. ”

Jiao Huangzhong said indignantly: "It's all that Cao Wei, grandpa, is this matter just settled?" ”

"What if you don't forget it? The old man thought that he was just a newcomer to officialdom, but the results of the investigation really shocked the old man, he saved the prince's life, and also broke the foundation of King Ning, and now he returned to Beijing with 10 million taels of silver, which is a real credit.

He has been an official for only three years, and he has already been an official to the Jinyi Guard, and now His Majesty is in favor of him, and the old man heard that he is about to be promoted again, this kind of person can only be befriended, not an enemy, do you understand? ”

Jiao Fang's words gradually became severe, and he trembled at the bottom of his heart, he knew too well the methods of his grandfather, so he was afraid of this old man on weekdays and did not dare to be disobedient, but now when he heard the warning in Jiao Fang's words, he hurriedly said: "Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson knows the severity." ”

Jiao Fang nodded and said: "There is a prince behind Hua Xu, as long as our Jiao family has a stake in Hua Xu, we will naturally deal with the prince, what to do when the time comes, you don't need the old man to teach you." ”

"Grandson understands!"

………………………………………………

Not long after Jiao Fang left, Xie Wan returned to the house, saw her husband who had returned home in the room, and said with great joy: "Xianggong, when will you come back?" Why don't you say it in advance! Do you know that the bookkeeping method you taught the concubine is really effective, and the concubine doesn't have to worry about it anymore...... It's just that the concubine taught it to the other bookkeepers in Huaxu, you won't blame the concubine, right? ”

Cao Wei saw Xie Wan's worried face, took her hand and said, "No, as long as you are happy, you can do anything." Remember not to be too tired of yourself, people will live a relaxed and comfortable life in this life. After a while, my husband will ask His Majesty for an official position and take my father-in-law to serve in Beijing, so that our family will be reunited. ”

Xie Wan snuggled in Cao Wei's arms and murmured: "The concubine knows that you love the concubine the most, and the concubine is not at home every day, if it were in other big families, you would have been divorced a long time ago, that is, you have been spoiling the concubine and letting the concubine toss." ”

"Actually, I want to divorce my wife as a husband, and I have to serve my family law at the worst, let's go to bed......"

Xie Wan glanced at him and said, "Don't make trouble, my uncle came to the mansion a few days ago and said that you should go to the mansion to visit him after returning to Beijing." ”

"Xie Qian?" Cao Wei frowned slightly: "He shouldn't be borrowing money from our family, right?" ”
