Chapter 3 Splendid Villa
The next day, walking on the street of Jinhua Mansion in Hangzhou, Yang Lin, who had been shopping for a morning, did not feel tired at all, and was still full of interest.
However, every time he went to his own store, Yang Lin's face became ugly, and his posture was no longer Shi Ran. At this time, walking on the most prosperous street of Jinhua Mansion, I was not in the slightest mood to appreciate the lively scene of the tide, but asked:
"Yang Yao, what's going on with our store? Why did the guys and the people in charge inside ignore me when I went in, and they didn't take me, the young owner, in their eyes at all, hum~"
"Young master, you're still good, usually the old lady asks the housekeeper to come, check the accounts, and collect the monthly surplus, all of which are prevaricated, and sometimes they are directly blocked by these people. Only when the old lady comes in person, these people will be afraid to converge a little, but there are often mismatched accounts, and a lot of silver and goods do not know where to go. ”
"But after all, the old lady is a woman's family, and she can't easily show up and come out every month, although the family's business seems to be very prosperous, but the money handed over every month is not much, and it can only barely cover the expenses of the house, and there is a slight surplus."
"En~ Yang Yao, how can this happen? Was that the case when my father was alive? ”
Yang Yao secretly said in his heart, the young master's illness is really bad, he actually doesn't remember anything, thinking of the young master who grew up together like this, his heart is trembling, and then confided everything he knows, and said slowly:
"Young master, when the master was alive, few people in the clan participated in all the business transactions of the family. At that time, the mansion was infinitely beautiful, with countless servants and maidservants, and there was an endless stream of guests visiting back and forth. Although we are a family of merchants, we are not as good as those gentry and children of the Eight Banners, but we are also the number one family in Jinhua Mansion! When he said this, Yang Yao's eyes were shining, and he looked nostalgic.
Then his expression darkened, his voice was a little hoarse and choked, his sleeves wiped the corners of his eyes, and continued: "The hasty death of the master, without the slightest warning, suddenly disappeared. ”
"For a period of time, the family's business was okay, similar to the old man's life, and he could still maintain the family's beautiful life. But later, the elders of the clan interfered in the family's business, and the old lady was helpless, after all, those were all the old lady's uncles and uncles. The look of indignation in his eyes was evident
Gradually, the men and principals left by the old man were replaced with those people's henchmen, and the family's business became more and more out of the old lady's control. Although business is still booming, the family has less and less money. ”
The two were still walking, Yang Yao stopped talking, and his fluctuating emotions gradually calmed down, and he followed humbly.
Except for the anger at the beginning, Yang Lin was very calm at the moment, without much sadness, after all, he had crossed over and had no feelings for that father, how could he be sad about his death?
At the same time, Yang Lin could imagine the prosperous scene of the Yang Mansion at that time, luxurious and rich and prosperous, but at this time, it was decadent and defeated, and he could be swallowed up by those people who claimed to be blood relatives at any time, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart
"How about a good fortune? No matter how big the family is? Once the body dies and turns to the earth, the wife and children will be in danger, and in the end, it is those blood relatives who covet their own family property! ”
Walking and walking, Yang Lin came to his family's silk village, Splendid Villa.
Splendid Villa is located in the prosperous area of Jinhua Mansion Commercial Street, second to none in the entire Jinhua Mansion, eating the special offerings of the imperial court, every year with the special supply of silk and satin in the palace, so that the signboard of Splendid Villa stands. has the identity of an official businessman, and it is incomparable and competitive with other silk and satin vendors.
Before coming, Yang Lin still remembered his mother's explanation to him, especially this splendid villa.
"Son, our mother and son can survive to this day, and the mansion can barely survive, thanks to this splendid villa. Since after your father's death, it was transferred to your name, and it belonged to the royal designation, although it is now controlled by the patriarch Yang Chengzhi, he does not dare to take it privately. ”
At that moment, Yang Lin came to a conclusion that this Splendid Villa was a chicken that could lay golden eggs, and it was also a powerful umbrella.
However, Yang Lin's father, Yang Jizu, spent a lot of thought on it, laid a deep foundation, and obtained official recognition, only recognizing him as a descendant of the Yang family. Therefore, although Yang Chengzhi has the intention to swallow it privately and turn it into his own, he is also bitter and has no good opportunity, and he has no choice but to get silver from it.
Looking at the plaque hanging high and the engraved four words of Splendid Villa, Yang Lin was silent for a long time, standing there stunned, and the guests who came and went to buy silk and satin looked at each other from time to time, and discussed: "This person is so strange!" ”
Yang Lin turned a deaf ear, just looked at it deeply, stared, he wanted to remember these four words in his mind, imprinted it in his heart, and secretly warned himself
"Yang Lin, this is where you fight back, this is the basis for your ambitions, grasp it, you must grasp it~!"
Although the Yang Mansion has been lonely and decadent, it has also been extremely brilliant, and no one in Jinhua Mansion knows who doesn't know? Although he is now reduced to an ordinary wealthy family, there is no shortage of people who know Yang Lin, so from time to time there are passers-by who greet him: "Wan Fu, Yang Gongzi~!" ”
Yang Lin didn't react, and the man whispered to his companion: "This Yang Gongzi won't really have amnesia, he'll be stupid~"
"Which Yang Gongzi, why haven't I seen it?" The man's companion asked.
"It's Yang Lin, the young owner of this Splendid Villa, Yang Gongzi."
"That's not right, isn't the young owner of Splendid Villa Yang Jizhi? Why did a Yang Lin suddenly appear, could it be Yang Chengzhi's illegitimate son? ”
Yang Yao was angry and was about to go up to theorize, but the two had already walked away, still discussing as they walked.
Yang Lin smiled, he had just woken up for a few days, but the thing about amnesia had been widely spread and known to everyone, and he also said that he had become stupid.
I suddenly understood in my heart that it seemed that my coming-of-age ceremony at the beginning of next month had been decided, and some people began to sit still, ready to make a fuss about their amnesia, and said that there was something wrong with their sanity.
Thinking of this, Yang Lin smiled secretly, and said in his heart: "I still look down on these people, such a little trick, as long as I have a performance when I hold a coming-of-age ceremony, I can easily clarify and sweep it away!" ”
On the other hand, if such a trick is also used, then it can also be said that they have jumped over the wall in a hurry, and for the sake of huge interests, they have done more extreme things to build momentum for the next action. What's more, Yang Lin always thought that falling from the carriage was not so simple.
Yang Lin clearly remembered that when he went to see the carriage yesterday afternoon, half of the broken axle was very neat, and it was obvious that someone had done it.
However, this obvious loophole, because the whole house was worried about Yang Lin, who was unconscious due to the bleeding on his head, no one went to check the carriage, and they all thought that it was caused by the horse's fright.
Later, Yang Lin woke up, there was no major physical injury, his nervous mood was relaxed, and no one remembered the carriage.
Still thinking about it, a voice pulled Yang Lin back to reality.
"Young Master, shall we still go in?" I saw Yang Yao looking at Yang Lin and asked.
Shaking his head slightly, he cleared his distracting thoughts, and said loudly: "Go in, why don't you go in?" It's all at the door, isn't that what we're here for? ”
As he spoke, Yang Lin strode forward and slowly walked towards Splendid Villa.
Stepping into the Splendid Villa, a dazzling array of fabrics immediately catches your eye, brocade or vertical, or horizontally, lined up on the counters and between the shelves.
Whether it is the decoration of the house, or all kinds of silk and satin, they are worthy of the word splendor, and the sufficient and large supply can better reflect the word villa.
As soon as he walked into the Splendid Villa, a very decently dressed guy walked up, and saw that Yang Lin was brightly dressed, and the materials were all the top grades in the store. Suzhou embroidery, Shu embroidery, Hunan embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, everything is here, you are satisfied! ”
Yang Lin didn't say anything, smiling, and watched as he walked. After a while, the guy said that his mouth was dry, Yang Lin still didn't say whether to buy or not, the care of Fairview Villa is very good, the quality of the guy has nothing to say, so far, there is no trace of resistance.
Although the patriarch Yang Chengzhi controlled the Splendid Villa, he had to admit that he took good care of the place, and it was not an exaggeration at all to be well organized.
At this time, Yang Lin finally spoke and asked, "What is the price of the four famous embroideries you said?" ”
The guy was happy in his heart, if he sold the cloth Ming embroidery, it would greatly improve his personal performance, and the reward would be very rich, so he began to talk eloquently, introducing the price and texture of the cloth, and how comfortable it was to wear, but Yang Lin was silently remembering in his heart.
Soon, Yang Lin stopped the guy from talking and said, "Okay, go and call your master, I have something to find him." "It's so frank, it's like the boss Cha Qin.
The excited words stopped abruptly, and he was very surprised by Yang Lin's abrupt request, and even more puzzled, he was fine just now, why did he suddenly want to see the master? Seeing Yang Lin dressed in gorgeous clothes, it was common for guests to find the main thing, so he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said respectfully:
"Okay master, let's go here, you go drink some tea and taste snacks first."
