Chapter 91: The Sea
The autumn rain continued, Chen Ji explained his family affairs with the Xue family, and his grandmother also called him to talk for a while, and finally suppressed the matter. Chen Ji was able to return to his usual days, of course, every day he had to go to the post station to find Fang Jingyu, lock him in a small room to write a "contract" early in the morning, and occasionally pull Fang Jingyu to make some preliminary revisions and improvements. After breakfast at the post station, he had time to take care of many things in the business field.
Zhizhi Bookstore is already on the right track, and it is a place where he doesn't have to worry much. The rest of the chaotic businesses have been selected for the time being, some of the more unpopular ones have been cut, and a few more remote industries have been directly realized. Now he is still short of silver in his hands, and he is very short of it.
Regarding Qingxiushan Farm, some of the preliminary work has been almost done, and the preliminary appearance has been done. For the time being, because the victims have returned to their hometowns one after another, the follow-up work has been idle, and it will probably be delayed until the beginning of spring next year. As a result, there is basically no income this year, but a sum of "leased" silver will be posted. The families who have joined hands with him can say that those who simply rented out the land have already sent people to ask for debts. It's just that after Chen Xiujie was promoted, she was temporarily stable.
Of course, some of the people who were miserable by Chen Ji who sold grain and frantically lowered prices did not sell the face of Chen Xiujie, the lord of "Denglai Mansion", probably because they felt that they couldn't control "Qingzhou Mansion", and they also thought about starting from this and rushed away from the previous losses.
Chen Ji is desperately dragging those contracts, and if he releases them, it will be "one yard to one yard".
In short, Qingzhou Shopping Mall, which was stirred into a pool of muddy water earlier, once again ushered in a reshuffle. During the war on grain prices, the small merchants who couldn't eat it halfway ushered in the first wave of liquidation, and for a time it was another bloody storm. Chen Ji watched the fire from the other side, watched it for half a month, sorted out the chips in his hand, and then left the game unhurriedly. Those desperate merchants, in fact, can only hold the idea of "dead horses as live horse doctors" to Chen Ji. After encompassing a part of the "remnants of the defeated generals", with a little integration, Chen Ji set off firecrackers before Chen Xiujie was about to leave, and it became "Chen Ji". The industries under its name cover clothing, food, housing and transportation, as if they want to fight with those big businesses.
In fact, how much rice is in Chen Ji's pot is basically an open secret in Qingzhou.
In this way, it was a big joke for a while.
Chen Ji didn't care, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when Chen Xiujie left.
Early in the morning, several carriages had been parked in front of Chen's house, all of which were rented from Qingzhou Carriage and Horse Dealers. Chen Xiujie's trip is very unlikely to return to Qingzhou, so it is equivalent to moving. In fact, some bits and pieces had already set off with the Xue family's carriage a few days earlier.
Chen Ji was originally going to be sent outside the city, but he was stopped at the door. The words that should have been said have been almost said, and when they parted suddenly, there was still some sadness in the eyes of several female dependents. Especially worried that no one is holding back the arrogance, Chen Ji is lawless in Qingzhou.
Chen Ji promised at the moment that he would be a man with his tail between his legs.
said goodbye one by one, but in the end, Chen Wenxuan was pulled aside and whispered.
"Aunt Lin said that she was old, so I'm afraid that thing won't happen."
Chen Ji thought about it, didn't force it, and said, "Then let it be."
Chen Wenxuan poked his finger over: "You also want to have a snack yourself, this time my father has been promoted back to Dengzhou, I don't know how many will come to our door, if you don't think about it for a long time, sister, I will pick it for you."
Chen Ji said bitterly: "Don't, sister, you really don't have to worry about this matter."
"Don't worry about it, just let you drag it out?"
Chen Ji was afraid that his family would really greet him again in Dengzhou, so he looked at it with small eyes, pulled Chen Wenxuan and said softly: "Actually, I'm already in mind." The little fairy who put me in prison last time, plus the grace of saving her life, she is sorry for me if she doesn't marry me. ”
Chen Wenxuan was dumbfounded, came back to his senses, and said in surprise: "You...... How to say hello. ”
Chen Ji smiled: "So Sister Xuan, don't worry, I think it's him."
Chen Wenxuan saw that her younger brother was so sincere, it was hard to say anything at the moment, after all, this matter had been reviewed by the sister and brother, and the girl who knew that she was called "Sining" from Xu Guogong's mouth must be either rich or expensive, and the identity of the Chen family is afraid that it will not be able to climb.
So he poked his finger again, and scolded with a smile: "Put your mouth away, it's almost grinning."
Chen Ji smiled and said, "Go, go to Dengzhou, and give yourself a heart." After a moment of conversation, he said solemnly: "That Sun Jiayu, I have asked someone to inquire, you can deal with it first, but don't casually make a secret promise, wait for me to take the time to investigate and investigate."
After speaking, Chen Ji had already slipped away from the distance, Chen Wenxuan slapped in the empty space with a red face, closed his posture, and looked at his younger brother who was smiling in the distance, Chen Wenxuan's eyes were red.
Chen Ji put away his smile and nodded heavily.
Under the steps, Chen Xiujie was urging.
Seeing the convoy slowly leaving, the huge Chen family actually hasn't changed much, of course, the three little followers around Chen Ji are still there, as well as the porter Lao Chen and Master Wang in the kitchen.
Chen Ji sat on the steps for a while, and Tan Ningxi walked out of the corner not far away, stood at the bottom of the steps, and shouted Brother Ji.
Chen Ji rubbed his eyes, patted the steps beside him, and said, "Come and sit."
Tan Ningxi didn't squirm, but after sitting down, he didn't speak.
Chen Ji asked, "You came here by yourself?"
"Hmm."
"You kid. Forget it, since you're here, go in and sit down, I guess you're about to set off, and I'm not sure when I'll see you in the future. It's okay to talk about grandpa. ”
"Hmm."
Chen Ji slapped it over, landed on his shoulder and pinched it, "Children, don't learn from other people's lifeless." Didn't the book say that the young man's shoulders should first pick up the warbler and fly the grass to grow. ”
Tan Ningxi squeezed out a smile.
Chen Ji was no longer reluctant, said some precautions for the study tour, Tan Ningxi wrote them down one by one, and then got up and entered the house, chatting on the mountain, waiting for the back kitchen to shout for dinner.
……
Some things, once you calm down and think about them, it seems that there are many more solutions. Or, suddenly, there are countless more possibilities, most of which may still be frightening.
We're always trying to sift through what works, only to find out in vain.
The trend of the times is the cruelest so-called fate.
Chen Ji, who was squatting on a stool to pick up rice, had just congratulated himself on his final freedom, when a wind-like figure swept over the threshold from the courtyard and pounced.
When he arrived, he slapped his hands on the table, leaned over and leaned his head, and his long eyelashes were about to shave Chen Ji's forehead.
Cherry took a small sip, "How can you not like me?" ”
It's like a soft spring breeze, stirring up.
