The old house of the Mu family is in the west of Hangzhou, a house of more than 100 acres is close to the mountains and rivers, it looks like a pastoral landscape from a distance, fascinating, and the garden has a rather festive name - "Qingyuan". Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the Mu family has been in business for generations, but the real development is also the business of these generations, and the ancestors have also produced a few scholars, but the career is not smooth, and it is only in the last few generations that all the energy is focused on business, which has today's power.

"Dad, there's a reply from Shangjing." Mu Xiaohai came in from outside the courtyard, trotted all the way, and handed the letter to the old man in the courtyard, "Don't come in, it hurts my food." When the old man saw that his son was coming in, he hurriedly stopped him, and a woman handed him a hand towel, and the old man wiped his face, "What did you say?" ”

"The Li family did have a discussion with the prince about forming a new army, and he went to the prince's mansion on the third day after returning to Beijing, but I don't know the result of the discussion until now, and the third uncle said that he would write as soon as there was news." The young man walked and stood outside the vegetable garden, looking at the old man, "Father, it seems that what he said that day is really possible, the Li family really fell to the prince's mansion, so it ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to draw conclusions, the matter has not yet been decided, and there is no specific news from the third uncle, let's take a look." The old man said, bent down again, and got busy in the vegetable garden, the woman came over and assisted according to the old man's instructions, Mu Xiaohai looked at it, and his face gradually became a little unhappy, "What about the Leng family?" They have now started to buy land, and the workshop is also hot. ”

"Okay, let them get busy, even if the Leng family was in its heyday, it's just like that, not to mention now, don't mess up because of a Li Huai, things have to be done slowly, you just have to do your own thing." The old man's voice was low, he naturally knew what his son thought, it was nothing more than wanting to continue to suppress it, so that the other party would know how powerful he was, but after all, Li Huai was specially explained by Shang Xue, and he didn't want to tear his face with the other party.

"Okay, got it." Mu Xiaohai said hatefully, glanced at the woman beside the old man again, with a little disgust in his eyes, and said a few more words before leaving stupidly.

"Hey...... This kid is still impetuous. Waiting for the young man to leave, Mu Jiangping sighed and pulled up the weeds in the field casually, "The young master is still young, and if you hone more in the future, it will be fine, don't worry, master." The woman took the tea from the low table on the side, and said that the coarse cloth clothes were more plain, and the face was not powdered, but there was a refreshing taste, "Miao Miao, you will coax me this old man, what kind of goods is he, I don't know?" After so many years, I haven't thought much about it, but ......, forget it. ”

The woman was still smiling, "Do you want me to take a look?" ”

"You?" The old man looked at him in surprise, "Are you also curious about this Li Huai?" ”

"I heard that he has some poetic talents, and some people call him a poet immortal, besides, didn't Hong Ji defeat Tian Hu in the north and take Liangshan? I'd like to see if he's three-headed and six-armed. ”

"Hehe, the words can't be trusted, I've seen people, the book is angry, but he speaks decently." The old man recalled what happened on the boat that day, and a smile appeared on his face, "It's okay, before you go back, go and see, come back and tell me how you feel, and you will have to deal with it in the future." As he spoke, he handed over the cup in his hand,

"Good." The woman answered, took the cup, and waited for the sun to come out of the garden.

In an open space outside Hangzhou, someone is busy,

If someone looks over from the mountains in the distance, they can see that several newly built houses are leaning against the small river at the bottom of the mountain, and the small river here is a little turbulent because there is a lot of water in the south of the mountain.

"Why did you choose such a place, which is far away from Hangzhou City, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources just to transport it back and forth." At this moment, there are a few people on the hillside looking at the scene in the distance, the woman is wearing a water-sleeved gown, wearing a shawl with orchid silk on a white background, but with a bit of the grace of a Jiangnan woman, and in front of her, the man is squatting on the ground, not knowing what he is looking at.

"Don't Mrs. Leng think that the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and it is a rare treasure land? It is also quite a pleasure to build the factory here, and it is quite a pleasure for him to come here to work in the future. ”

Listening to the other party's answer, the woman was a little speechless, what kind of thinking should a business person have? "The scenery here is good, but you are in business, and when you recruit workers in the future, they may not be in the mood for you to come so far away."

The man stood up and looked at the woman behind him with a smile, "You're just too heavy." The man's words suddenly made the other party's expression stagnate, "I know that you are always worried about things in the cloth workshop these days, and if you have something to do these days, you will run to the cloth workshop, I just see that you are too nervous, so I asked you to come out to relax, I originally thought that the two of you would come over together." ”

The woman's face flushed slightly, "He's also busy with his own business." ”

The two walked along the mountain road towards the bottom of the mountain, "There has been news from Shangjing." ”

"What did General Lee say? Got a result? ”

"How can it be so fast, he just went to the Prince's Mansion, and the matter of more than 100,000 people can't be decided in a day or two." Li Huai shook her head, Leng Xuemei behind her was a little disappointed, since the last time Li Huai proposed the formation of a new army on the boat in the West Lake, she was looking forward to taking this order, and it was because of this incident that she always ran to the cloth workshop in the past few days.

Wait to the bottom of the mountain, the sky has been covered with dark clouds, the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is like this, the woman did not stay for a long time, got on the carriage and went to the city of Hangzhou, along the way I thought about what I said to the man, back home, there were people talking about her husband's affairs in the fragrance garden, she just frowned, and went back to the room.

In the next few days, the new cloth in the Lengjia cloth workshop gradually expanded the production, and the city of Hangzhou was also a lot more lively.

Li Huai took Dong Xiaowan and Leng Xuemei together, and in the past few days, they also went to several cloth factories one after another, either to visit, or to talk about some small cooperation, because they all knew Li Huai's identity, so they did not refuse, and the more profitable the deal, the better.

On the carriage, Dong Xiaowan naturally took great care of Li Huai, although there was a long time between the two, but there was no feeling of strangeness between each other, but in Leng Xuemei's eyes, it was a look of affection, and somehow she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

In the Qingyuan of the Mu family, Li Huai was talking to the old man in the house, and the two women finally had a chance to be alone, and the vegetable garden was green, looking very eye-catching, "The relationship between Miss Xiaowan and Li Gongzi is really good, seeing that you two are inseparable, it is really enviable." ”

Dong Xiaowan smiled, both of them are already wives, but they are also rare beauties, "Let my sister laugh, I didn't have to follow originally, but he always said that I would accompany him, and he was afraid that I would not be suitable for going out of the south alone." ”

"It's considerate, you and I are both women, and it is not in vain to meet such a person." Leng Xuemei sighed, walked a few steps along the vegetable garden, and Dong Xiaowan behind her also followed, "Sister's matter, he also said, I still admire my sister in my heart, it is not easy to persist for so many years, I think my sister's husband also feels sorry for my sister." ”

"Him?" Leng Xuemei's expression was a little gloomy, "He is a scholar, he really doesn't know much about business matters, and he is powerless on weekdays." The expression on his face was a little gloomy, and he naturally knew the other party's thoughts in Dong Xiaowan's eyes, "Sister, don't think about it too much, now that he has become a shareholder, he will naturally take care of it in the future, and he has always handled the business affairs of Hong Ji personally, and if my sister has the opportunity in the future, she can talk to him more." ”

Leng Xuemei turned around and smiled, the two continued to gossip, and walked a few steps along the vegetable garden, in the study of Qingyuan, the old man was kind and pleasant, and Li Huai was also respectful, "I heard that the output of new cloth has been raised recently?" ”

"Well, I finally found some doorways, and a few masters can also operate proficiently, I think it will slowly get better in the future."

"That's good, the Leng family used to make cloth, and the level in the dyeing workshop is average, so you might as well cooperate with others in the future, wouldn't it be better?"

"What do you mean?"

"In Suzhou and Hangzhou, there are several large dyeing workshops, you might as well let them dye it, so that you also have more attention to weaving, after all, with the original cloth, you can take the following list." The old man looked at the other man's expression as he spoke, and when he saw that the young man was thoughtful, he continued, "Of course, the secret recipe is still your own, just send the prepared dyeing solution over." ”

"Thank you for your advice. To be honest, I also have a headache these days, and the cold family's dyeing workshop is really small, and it will be really difficult to operate in the future. Li Huai said, "I'll discuss it with the shopkeeper Leng when I go back, and I will ask you to introduce me when the time comes." ”

"Well said." The old man nodded, and then looked at Li Huai with some confusion, "This young lady of the Leng family, I also grew up watching, since the old man Leng went, she has been busy, and the son-in-law in the family is also a nerd, so he really can't help anything, now that the Leng family has you taken over, don't trouble her with everything, a woman always shows up, it's not good." ”

"Hey, got it." Li Huai nodded solemnly, and the old man was also quite satisfied.
