Chapter 257: Reason

When Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan entered the house, a choking smell of medicine suddenly hit their faces. Li Maoyuan couldn't help but sneeze, "Ahhhh ”

His sneeze immediately alarmed the people in the bedroom. An old woman with gray hair walked out from within, her face haggard, and the old housekeeper hurriedly said, "Madam, these are the two friends of the young master, and they have come to visit the young master." ”

The old woman's expression was shocked, and then Nuno said repeatedly, "Since you have come to visit my son, then please come in quickly." Obviously she was very excited, needless to say that for so many days, there were very few guests from the Sun family, and even fewer came to visit Sun Gong.

Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan worshiped the old woman and followed her into the house.

The smell of medicine in the bedroom was even stronger, and Sun Gong was lying on the bed with his back facing the sky, the whole person was listless, and he lost weight several times. On a chair beside the bed sat a young woman in her twenties who looked beautiful but also tired. No need to ask, she should be Sun Gong's wife.

Sure enough, the young woman stood up slowly, bowed to Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan Yingying, and said, "The slave family has seen two sons. ”

Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan hurriedly returned the salute, and then the two walked to the bed. Sun Gong's mother, Mrs. Sun, had already left the house and was busy boiling water and making tea for Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan.

Boiling water and making tea was a job that Mrs. Sun naturally didn't have to do in person before. But now that the Sun family has no descendants, Mrs. Sun, the housewife in charge of the family, naturally has to do it herself.

There is no way, who let the Sun family fall overnight, and the people under them will be scattered, and they will be dispersed in a few days. In fact, even if those subordinates don't take the initiative to leave, the Sun family will also dismiss them. After all, the Sun family could no longer pay their employment fees.

At this time, Sun Gong was sleeping soundly, and the young woman Sun Wang seemed to hesitate slightly, before bending down slightly and calling softly in Sun Gong's ear, "Xianggong, someone has come to see you." ”

Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan originally wanted to stop the Sun Wang clan, but the Sun Wang clan just made such a slight call, and Sun Gong slowly opened his eyes.

Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan found that Sun Gong's eyes were very confused. But after a while, when he recognized Zhou Zhi and the others clearly, two streams of light immediately burst out in his eyes, and he struggled to sit up. The young woman Sun Wang hurriedly and anxiously said, "Xianggong! ”

Her meaning is obvious, Sun Gong sits up to consume a lot of physical strength, Lang Zhong has repeatedly told Sun Gong to recuperate at this time.

But Sun Gong quickly struggled to sit up, and said to Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan, "Brother Maoyuan and Brother Zhou Zhixian are here, please sit down quickly." When the two of them were in the fall of my Sun family, they could still have this friendship, which really moved Sun Gong! ”

Although he was sick, he seemed to be refreshed at this time, and although his voice was still a little weak, he was extremely excited.

Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan hurriedly bowed their hands.

After a while of greetings between the two sides, Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan sat down, and Sun Gong's spirit seemed to be better. Although the young woman Sun Wang was still a little worried about Sun Gong, she still said, "My father-in-law has never sat up for a few days, let alone gotten out of bed, but I didn't expect the two sons to come, and his illness is half cured!"

What Lang Zhong said is true, it seems that Xianggong's illness is really in his heart, and it is caused by depression. ”

There is joy in the words.

At this time, Sun Gong's mother, Mrs. Sun, came in with a tray of teacups, and saw that Sun Gong was in a lot of energy all of a sudden, and she was also overjoyed for a while, and thanked Zhou and Zhou again and again.

Sun Gong said, "My mother has been working hard to take care of the child these days, and today the child is very happy to see Brother Mao Yuan and Brother Zhou Zhixian, and the child's illness is mostly cured, so my mother should go and rest for a while!" ”

Sun Gong was able to say such a thing very neatly at once, which made Mrs. Sun even more happy, and said, "Okay, my son is really getting better, okay!" For my mother, I'm going to rest! ”

Mrs. Sun then went out of the house.

For such an old lady, in fact, it doesn't matter if the family is ruined, whether the family has more or less money, and whether the life is poor or rich is not important, the important thing is that everyone in the family can be healthy, especially her only son can be healthy, that is her greatest happiness.

After Mrs. Sun left, Sun Gong's wife, Sun Wang, saw that Sun Gong was indeed in good spirits, so she was a lot more relieved, so she simply smiled at Zhou Zhi and Li Maoyuan, and then quietly retreated to the outhouse.

She is a woman who knows etiquette very well, she understands the truth of women's three obedience and four virtues, she knows that men are going to talk about things, and she is a woman who categorically can't intervene or participate. In fact, nothing matters, the important thing is that his husband's body suddenly improved, and Xianggong's depressed mood was alleviated, which was the best comfort for her as a wife.

Sun Gong sat on the bed and smiled happily at Zhou Zhi and the others, and then said, "Actually, my illness is all heart disease, the Sun family just fell overnight, the Sun family fell down for a while, and those who usually always wag their tails and beg for mercy in front of our Sun family, and the people who greet each other with smiling faces suddenly changed their faces, and they all came to the door to force debts." There are also those subordinates who were very obedient and obedient in the past, who also snatched a lot of things from the Sun family at once and fled.

Alas! The world is hot and cold, people are warm and cold, this world is really too hateful. ”

Sun Gong said this angrily, sighed again, and then said the specific reason for the fall of the Sun family.

The Sun family opened a textile workshop more than ten years ago. Because it started early, the operation is also very good, but the textile industry of the Sun family has been in Gaoyang County for more than ten years, occupying a pivotal position. Although it is not the leader of the entire textile industry in Gaoyang County, it is also among the forefront. Because of this, the Sun family has been admired by many people, and the Sun family's connections have become extensive, and they are often full of people and guests.

The textiles produced by the Sun family are to be shipped to Zhejiang, and the Sun family has a good relationship with one of the textile families surnamed Zhang in Zhejiang. The family surnamed Zhang had a great relationship with a father-in-law named Li Guang in the imperial court, so all kinds of textiles they produced were presented to the imperial court through Li Guang as tribute.

The Ming Dynasty needed countless textiles every year, and the family surnamed Zhang also profited a lot from it. The Zhang family is rich, so naturally it is necessary to drive the Sun family in Gaoyang County, so the Sun family will quickly flourish.

The Sun family's textile industry seems to be getting bigger and bigger, and they buy silk cotton, yarn and other yarns from all over the world for spinning. Over time, those merchants who hoarded silk and cotton yarn had a cooperative relationship with the Sun family. Therefore, the Sun family bought the goods from which merchants first, and waited for the textiles to be sold before settling the money for them.

But just two months ago, the Sun family produced a large number of textiles and shipped them to Zhangjia, Zhejiang. But the Zhang family suddenly turned their faces, saying that the Sun family's goods were all defective, and instead of giving the Sun family silver, they said that the Sun family's defective products made the court angry, and the Zhang family also cut off the way to make money from textiles to the imperial court.
