Chapter 465 - Start a business
"Dad, look, this is our Long Family's 'Xuelong Hall'"
Old Man Long looked at the merging of four stores with a grand faΓ§ade, the plaque that was twice as large as the others and nodded again and again, this is very proud! Although in the eyes of the people of Chang'an, he is a rich man in the northwest corner, but this does not affect his mind and courage to look down on the world, and the Long family must have such courage.
"Yo! Come on, sister-in-law! β
"Hello sister-in-law!"
"It's called Sister-in-law!"
"Is it a dragon or a fish?"
"My family's surname is Long, my husband's family name is Fish, whether it's a dragon or a fish, it's not wrong, what's the matter, is it difficult to call Arowana sister-in-law?"
"Shut your foul mouths!"
Boss Liu said hello to Long Zuozuo respectfully, but as a result, the younger brothers behind him were gossiping and gossiping, and they didn't know the identity of Old Man Long, otherwise they wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.
Boss Liu stopped a few little brothers who were out of tune and led them to patrol the streets.
"Sister-in-law Yu sounds like a soup seller, but Sister-in-law Long is good."
"The fish jumped over the dragon gate, and the dragon sister-in-law also brought the fish sister-in-law."
"Fish, Leap, Dragon, Gate! My Chinese writing is really broad and profound, hahahaha......"
"Fake Xiucai, where is it profound, let's talk about it."
"Nothing, nothing."
"! I'm not funny when I hear you, there must be some fun. β
Boss Liu's subordinates passed by the demolition city management with a smile.
Long Zuo made a black line and explained to Old Man Long: "That person is Boss Liu, a rough man, and his subordinates are all ploppy ruffians, and they don't cover up their words. β
Old Man Long said unhappily: "How do you know such a group of characters? β
Long Zuozuo said: "Xiao Yu was originally the mayor of the West City Bureau, and these are all his old subordinates. Daddy doesn't know anything, governing the market, training profiteers, these talents are the most effective. β
Old Man Long said disdainfully: "Vulgar! β
When Long Zuozuo heard this, he immediately turned pale for Li Yu.
While speaking, Hua Lin and Chen Feiyang walked over with grace, and when they saw the dragon at a glance, Hua Lin hurriedly shook his robe, stepped forward quickly, and sang with a long bow on his head: "Oops! Hua Lin was clumsy, he didn't pay attention to his sister-in-law's face, and his sister-in-law violated the Great Religion outside, forgive sins, forgive sins! β
Chen Feiyang has always been a self-proclaimed cultural person, and he is busy with etiquette: "Brother Feiyang, I have seen my sister-in-law!" How is Brother An? How is the little nephew? β
Long Zuozuo suddenly felt glorious, look at how educated these two people are, just now Boss Liu's group was embarrassed to introduce his father to be there, Long Zuozuo said happily: "It's all good, it's all good!" Daddy, this is the Hualin brothers, this is the Chen Feiyang Chen brothers, and they are also powerful figures in the West Market Bureau. β
"Oh, is it Lord Lingzun?"
Hua Lin hurriedly shook his shirt, and there was a long bow on his head: "Little nephew Hua Lin, I have seen Uncle Long." β
Chen Feiyang hurriedly also gave a salute: "I heard that my father-in-law will arrive in Beijing soon, and he has not yet come to visit, it's a sin!" Sin! β
Hua Lin said: "I heard my brother say that my husband has always made a living in the northwest and has always made a lot of business? β
The two cultural people in front of him were also too literate, which made the old lady Long at a loss, and he was busy and subconsciously returned the courtesy, and said a few cold words that he had learned when he was doing business with other people: "Toba, I have to live!" The two virtuous nephews are officials in the West City Bureau? Young and promising! β
Hua Lin bowed his hand again: "Panic, panic, the little nephew is just a tax collector in the central district of Xishi." β
Long Laohan hurriedly bowed his waist and returned the salute: "Humility!" Humility! β
Chen Feiyang clenched his fists and said: "Don't dare to be praised by the boss, the little nephew is just a little Jia Shi in the West Market!" β
Long Laohan was clumsy, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "Congratulations!" Congratulations! β
Hua Lin said again: "The little nephew and nephew still have official business, and they will visit them another day, which will alarm them!" β
Long Laohan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Welcome!" β
Chen Feiyang hugged his fists and said: "The juniors will say goodbye first!" β
Uncle Long hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Walk slowly, walk slowly!" β
On both sides, you also bent over and I bowed to each other for a long time, and finally sent these two cultural people away, Long Aotian sweated profusely, and said with palpitations: "It's still those vulgar men who are relaxed!" β
Before he could say a word, Lu Xi led a few vigorous men over, and when he saw Long Zuozuo from afar, he raised his voice to greet: "Sister-in-law of the Li family, after a long absence, her health is as good as before, when will Lang Jun pass a hundred days, and ...... when he catches Zhou."
The loud voice was once criticized for the sentence "Oh no, Xiao Langjun has an accident again!" The tortured Li Yu's heart was shocked, and at this time, the old man Long was even more frightened, and he hurriedly said to Long Zuo: "I'll go to the store to hide first." β
Old Man Long walked like a fly, and rushed into the store, until Lu Xizhen and Long Zuo made a noise, said goodbye, and couldn't help but enter the store, and then said: "This is also a person from the West City Bureau?" β
Long Zuozuo said: "He's not, this person is now one of the sixteen trusses under the command of the two queens of the West City, a high and powerful position, and was originally a guard under Yulang." β
Old Man Long shrugged and said, "That kid Li Yu has such a big latent force in the West Market? β
Long Zuozuo said sourly: "What's more! Yang Daliang is his stepfather immediately, and the fifth Daliang is already him...... Bosom friend. It is the two queens of the beautiful scenery, and they are very close to him! β
Old Man Long was angry and said, "You girl! I wanted to praise you for what you can do, why are you so stupid! β
Long Zuo said, "How can you blame me for this! He was originally working in the West Market, and he got along with those people day and night, how can I see it? Fortunately, now I have gone to the Ministry of Industry, and there will never be a female ...... there."
Old Man Long didn't listen to what she was saying at all, and said categorically: "With such a favorable time and place, only one 'Xuelong Hall' is opened, I don't know what to say!" Dad has decided to move to Chang'an! In the West Market, let's open a few more shops, buy a house and buy a store, daughter, you pay attention to walking around these days, and the store that has been exchanged has been grabbed early. Daddy, I'm going to go around the ba. β
Long Zuozuo was dumbfounded and said, "What are you going to do in Bashang, you can also open a store there?" β
"You girl, you've been pregnant for three years!"
Old Man Long glared at her with hatred: "The purpose of opening a store is to make money, but if you are only a businessman, if you establish the status of our Long family?" You must have land, and you must have a large area of land, so that you can become a gentleman, and be a household with the Li family, so that your status as a lady is stable! Daddy wants the master! Be sure to be a landlord! β
It seems that he has money but no social status, and he has to tie up the experience of those landowners in Mayi Prefecture, which has stimulated Mr. Long a lot, and the obsession of being a squire and a small landlord has become his biggest pursuit in the future.
While the father and daughter were discussing the good times in the future that were both rich and decent, Li Yu was also discussing with Jixiang some preparations for the approaching wedding date and some longer-term plans.
Li Yu leaned on the couch, auspiciously and comfortably resting on his chest, and the afternoon sun shone in through the window, gently sprinkled all over their bodies. Outside the window, a cluster of flowers, bee butterflies hovering over it, revealing a lazy atmosphere.
Because Li Yu had just finished the construction of the spiritual platform, he had a three-day rest, and he happened to be preparing for the wedding at home.
The two of them thought about it for a while, and when there were not many things to be finalized, they imagined a more distant future.
Ji Xiang said: "Uncle Yang is back, but he has been avoiding his aunt for the past two days, I really can't see that he is so old and so shy." β
Li Yu said: "If Uncle Yang is not so shy, why hasn't he been married after a year?" However, we juniors are always around, which should also be the reason why they are uncomfortable. β
Ji Xiang turned his head to look at Li Yu, his eyes shining: "Lang Jun wants to ......"
Li Yu said: "My mother raised me with a salary, and I should have been on my knees to fulfill my filial piety." But my family's situation is special, Uncle Yang will come to the future, our family lives here, although Uncle Yang doesn't think so, he won't have any ideas, after all, it is a little inconvenient. β
Ji Xiang said happily: "I also have this idea, so many of us live here, Uncle Yang is kind, although he won't want to say anything more, it is inevitable that people will accuse Lang Jun, saying that you have produced a lot of filthy rumors in order to plot other people's property." You are now in the officialdom, and your reputation cannot be ignored. β
Li Yu smiled dumbly and said, "I don't care about this, I just don't want to have a brother and sister one day, and make my mother secretly embarrassed." Well, our own house will be placed sooner or later, where do you think it is good? β
Ji Xiang said with great interest: "The first recommendation is, of course, Taiping, Shanhe, Xingdao, and Wuben Sifang, just in front of the imperial city, you are an official, it is convenient to go to the court, and the land price there is also the most expensive, and it will be left to future generations in the future, and it is also a piece of belonging." β
Li Yu smiled and said: "You think about the long term, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and if you plan for him, it may not be useful to him." β
Jixiang is a person of this era, and his thoughts are very different from Li Yu, and he can't help but say: "The ancestors have been down from generation to generation, and each generation is not for the sake of future generations?" How can you only care about your own enjoyment, regardless of the life or death of future generations? β
Li Yu said faintly: "If that's the case, I should go to Jijing in Youzhou, buy it a few streets in one go, and wait for 14500 years, our old Li family will be developed." β
"I'll tell you seriously, in the bitter cold land of Youzhou, who will go there to buy a house and buy land!"
Ji Xiang pinched Li Yu with disgust and said, "These places I said, are they okay?" β
Li Yu shook his head: "One, it's too expensive, our family is still thin, and we can't afford to buy a big one." Second, there are all high-ranking officials and nobles living there, you can guarantee that the descendants of our Li family will be the officials on their behalf, if you can't go out, during the mixed season, this place will not be able to be kept sooner or later. β
Ji Xiang thought about it and said, "What about the fang next to the two cities, the land price there is also expensive." β
Li Yu said: "Before, in General Chu's Mansion, it was difficult to travel every day, and I had already tossed the dead, so I didn't want to live there." β
Ji Xiang glanced at him and said, "You said that, you obviously had an idea, and asked me, then what do you say?" β
Li Yu said: "The place, of course, can't be too remote, or along both sides of Suzaku Street." It doesn't have to be too close to the Imperial City, though. You see, how is Lanling Fang, it is not far from this Yankang Fang, it is also convenient to visit my mother, and it is on the edge of Suzaku Street. β
Jixiang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Not bad!" I've been there, and it's really good. β
Li Yu said: "Cheng, then I'll take the time to go there to take a look, now I am working in the Ministry of Industry, if I start a house, just pay a cost, but I can save a lot of expenses, and I can buy a bigger house." β
Ji Xiang narrowed his crescent-like eyes slightly, and said with a mouthful of small white teeth: "You always say big, big, why do you want to be so big?" β
Li Yu was "surprised" and said, "You don't like big ones?" β
Ji Xiang said angrily: "Of course people like big ones, but even if you buy a big house, our house is already lively enough, you are not allowed to ...... it anymore."
As she said here, Li Yu had already grabbed her soft wattle and leaned down, eating and laughing: "If you like the big one, it's so big, are you satisfied?" β
"I'm going to kill you, in broad daylight!"
Ji Xiang was ashamed and angry, grabbed Li Yu fiercely, and fled into the courtyard.
Under the peach blossom tree, Pan Jiaojiao and Yang Siqi jumped away like a pair of frightened rabbits.
Yang Siqi said, "I...... Why is my saw missing, I'll look for it! β
Pan Jiaojiao put a peach blossom on her face and said abruptly: "I was about to buy some food, auspicious, what do you want to eat tonight?" β
Ji Xiang's face was flushed: "Auntie is casual, whatever!" β
