The Xu family is a well-known rich gentry in Anlu County, mainly engaged in Xu's grain shop and drunken incense house, the Xu family has been the largest grain merchant in Anlu County for many years, they buy a large amount of grain from Hanyang every year, and then sell it, making huge profits.

But recently, the Xu family has been in trouble!

Xu Zhen'er selflessly gave Qin Yiming 200,000 stone of grain, so that Qin Yiming could appease those refugees, so that the Xu family's own grain would not be enough to sell, so Xu Zhen'er went to Hanyang Mansion to buy 300,000 stone of grain, but what Xu Zhen'er didn't expect happened, Anlu County suddenly appeared Kang's family, and also opened a grain shop, the price is much lower than the Xu family's, which is very obvious is vicious competition!

"This Kang family hasn't been engaged in grain trading for many years, why is it suddenly interested in this again? It's weird! Xiao Yue'er muttered.

Xu Zhen'er is worried, now she has little liquidity in her hand, and the money is used to buy enough food, but the food she bought can't be sold, which makes her worried.

"Hey, the Kang family is a famous money bank, with the Kang family's money village behind the backer, the Kang family's grain and rice shop can be so atmospheric, five dollars of silver per stone of rice, which is two dollars lower than ours! We have to buy five and a half dollars per stone, how can we hold on like this! ”

Xiao Yue'er was also helpless, and persuaded her: "Miss, don't worry about it, their Kang family is holding on to death, it's a big deal, let's close the door for a few days, see how long the Kang family can last, besides, I estimate that their Kang family doesn't have much food in their hands, they sell grain like this, it won't take long to sell out, people in the north used to eat wheat, but now the harvest in the north is not good, and they also start to buy rice to eat, I saw a lot of grain merchants in Henan go to them to buy grain!" ”

Xu Zhen'er was even more anxious and said, "Did our old customers also go?" ”

Yue'er said: "Listening to the shopkeeper Xu, many people have gone to Kangjia ** grain!" Miss, don't worry, this grain is no better than others, it's okay to put it for a year or two, I think we'll just wait, see when the price of his Kang family rises, let's sell it again! ”

Xu Zhen'er said worriedly: "Yue'er, you don't understand this, once this business stops, it will be like a person has died, and it will be difficult to think about it again, when the time comes, the supply of goods, the distributors and merchants will have to start from scratch, it's not as simple as you think, those big landlords have a lot of food at home, but they can't do this business, why?" It's not because there is no supply, no market, and you can't do long-term trading! We are either closing our doors now, or selling grain at a loss, but our Xu family has been selling grain in Anlu for decades, and the Xu family grain shop was created by my father, so it will definitely not be closed down in my hands! ”

Inside the house.

In the backyard pavilion, a beautiful woman is wearing a moon-white woven flower Yangxia cloth gown, a pleated skirt of fine white yarn, a mutton fat jade hairpin on her head, Pei Cui double-hoop earrings, and a pair of pure white Mazi bracelets on her hands, with Canan incense strings in between. Melon seed-shaped face, white and tender skin, a pair of pear vortices looming between the cheeks, lightly smeared rouge, black and curved eyebrows, non-painting-like, a pair of bright eyes, seductive eyes, black and white, rippling with a fascinating charm......

"Miss, Xu's rice shop has lowered the price!" A handmaid came over and said.

The woman was very envious when she saw the fish swimming freely in the pond, and her mind was all about the fish, and her beautiful eyes kept swimming with the fish.

"Well, I know, if you continue to maintain this price, the Xu family estimates that it won't last long!"

"But Miss, we will lose a lot of money if we continue like this!"

"It doesn't matter, now is the time to have more silver than anyone, compared to silver, our Kang family is not afraid of anyone, before coming to Anlu, I promised my eldest brother, if my grain and rice shop can't be the first in Anlu County, then I have to go back to my hometown in Shanxi, I must not go back to that cage, do as I say, until the Xu family closes!

Also, the Hu family's acres of land have to be taken back, if not, spend some silver to buy it back, grandpa values the most is the field, if I can get the Hu family's tens of thousands of acres of fertile land back, his old man must be very happy. ”

"Yes, miss."

Qin Yiming, who came to the next generation, didn't expect that getting married in Daming would be so troublesome, and the process was too cumbersome.

The ancients said: The wedding party will combine the two surnames, go up to the temple, and follow the future generations, so the gentleman is important. The wedding is to combine the two surnames, so that the upper can better serve the country, and the lower can continue the heirs and pass on the ancestry. In the wedding, the first priority is "the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker", otherwise it is "no matchmaker", in the words of later generations, it is called illegal cohabitation, it is illegal, and it is not good to enter the pig cage and sink the river.

Qin Yiming is not young, he is not the kind of person who will do things when two people look at each other, although he wants to be so frivolous in his heart, but reality does not allow it, these six ceremonies must be completed honestly, who called Xu Zhen'er is the wife!

But if you don't see each other for three autumns, Qin Yiming has already fallen in love, and he can't see his flower-like wife, and his heart is quite uncomfortable, so he often has private meetings with Xu Zhen'er under the willow tree with a dark moon and high wind.

Xu Zhen'er could feel Qin Yiming's fiery love, but she really didn't dare to make any transgressions, for fear that people would gossip and ruin her reputation.

"Brother Qin, do you think that Zhen'er's behavior is inappropriate and unethical? was first taken captive by the bandits, and then let Yue'er persecute you? Xu Zhen'er cares a lot about her innocence, and she cares more about Qin Yiming's opinion of herself.

"How so?" Qin Yiming secretly grabbed Xu Zhen'er's pink little hand, Xu Zhen'er was so frightened that she immediately looked around, making sure that there was no one before she dared to let Qin Yiming hold it like this, her cheeks were crimson, and her little head was buried deeply.

Hey, this stupid kid took a little hand and replied like this.

"Bad guys, let people see how good it is!" Xu Zhen'er sneered.

"I'm afraid, who in Anlu County doesn't know that you Xu Zhen'er will be my daughter-in-law in the future, we are justifiable, whoever wants to see it and let him come to see it, take a look at the charge of five taels of silver, there is no free lunch in the world!"

Xu Zhen'er became even more shy, her cheeks were flushed, and she broke free from Qin Yiming's clutches as soon as she used her strength, and said coquettishly: "You still want people to see it, it's shameful to die." ”

"Huh." Looking at Xu Zhen'er, who was shy, she was even more beautiful and moving under the moonlight of Huguang, Qin Yiming was drunk, leaning on the slope by the river, Qin Yiming lay down, happily enjoying the peace and tranquility at the moment, it was good to be in Daming, with his own goals, his own friends, and his own lovers!

After a long time, Qin Yiming found that Xu Zhen'er was worried, Xu Zhen'er had been under a lot of pressure recently, so he asked with concern: "Zhen'er, I heard that a big family has come to Anlu County recently, and the price of rice has dropped a lot all of a sudden, are you worried about this matter?" ”

Xu Zhen'er still put a small stone into the river, as if she wanted to lose her troubles, and nodded her head.

"Well, this Kang family is rich and rich, our Xu family may be in trouble this time."

Qin Yiming knew that Xu Zhen'er was so difficult now had a lot to do with him, if he hadn't asked for too much, how could Xu Zhen'er be so difficult.

"Zhen'er, if I help you solve this problem, how can you thank me?"

"Brother Qin, the food has already been given to the guard, I won't let you return it, after all, there are so many refugees waiting for you to eat, and the Xu family's difficulties are only temporary."

"Oh, I didn't want to return the 200,000 stone grain to you, I have other ways."

"Isn't it a return of grain? So what else can you do? Now is the time when there is more than silver, who can compare more than the Kang family! ”
