The sixteenth elder brother is not a person who can hide his words, and the ninth elder brother went to the main hall of the internal affairs office and said that Cao Hao knew about the dialogue between the two princes.

Cao Hao is not ignorant of Brother Jiu's temptation to the Han Jiang clan in recent years, but he didn't expect that Brother Jiu would be so unscrupulous to say that he wanted to accept Han Jiang's family.

Cao Hao was a little puzzled, Brother Jiu is not a freewheeling person, nor is he a hairy boy who is greedy for beauty. Cao Hao believed that with the scheming of the Ninth Elder Brother, if he really wanted the Han Jiang clan, he would never startle the snake first, and let the Sixteenth Elder Brother discuss with Cao Hao.

"What do you think of the Sixteenth Master?" Cao Hao asked with a frown.

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao and said, "I always feel that he is testing your bottom line and me, if he insists on doing so, Fu Ruo would rather offend the prince than protect the Han Jiang clan?" ”

Cao Hao was asked and couldn't help but be stunned.

Is he the one who took care of himself? thought that with Kangxi on it, he would be able to protect Han Jiang's thoughtfulness, but he didn't think that he had a few catties and a few taels.

"Sixteenth Master, if she is a man and is used by me, will I protect each other? Even though she is a woman, in my heart she is no different from a useful man. Cao Hao said thoughtfully.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, he rolled his eyes and said, "I don't need you to clear up the relationship, since you sent her to my subordinates to do business, I will naturally take care of her." It's just that it's not just Brother Jiu's side, who mentioned this bably, what are you planning. ”

The sixteenth elder brother said in his mouth, and he was also speculating in his heart about the intentions of the ninth elder brother. He has a door in Jiangnan, and there is no such thing as a stunning person in Beizi Mansion. Although Han Jiang's appearance looks better in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of their prince, it is not uncommon, and there are fewer beauties seen when they were young?

"What can there be, I'm afraid that the drunkard's intention is not to drink. first tell the sixteenth elder brother, if the errand of the Han Jiang bank is not guarded, he will enter the ninth elder brother's mansion as a confinement; Even if the errand is guarded firmly, when Brother Jiu runs a tobacco errand and wants to go back to catch the bank, it will be cheap to start with Han Jiang's family. Cao Hao thought for a moment and replied.

Speaking of this, Cao Hao felt a little regretful in his heart.

Follow the local customs, whether you are good at living, forget these four words. Even if the Han Jiang clan has some ability, in a woman, it is just a sin of conceiving bi.

The ugly greed of the world will never be pitied because of the miserable fate of the Han Jiang clan.

The sixteenth elder brother touched his chin, thought about it carefully, slowly stretched his brows, and said with a smile: "If the Han Jiang clan is younger, I will recognize a goddaughter and set a name, and I can also kill the ninth brother's thoughts." Otherwise, I will talk to my aunt. Even Huang Ama, when he heard that Han Jiang's aunt was sheltered, he would treat him differently. ”

Seeing Cao Hao's hesitation, the sixteenth elder brother said, "Fu Ruo, don't think about letting the Han Jiang clan avoid the bank. In that way, it is in line with Brother Jiu's wishes. It's just a woman, just use it, what's the big deal. If you are a man, you have to be careful and raise a white-eyed wolf. The ninth brother is used to having the surname of Long Wangchuan, and he can't retreat. ”

After saying this, the sixteenth elder brother mentioned that the ninth elder brother wanted to go to Henan Mansion and Xian'an Palace Erfujin was seriously ill.

The sixteenth elder brother was already a little tired, and said: "Fu Ruo, the fourteenth brother has been getting more and more enthusiastic recently, how should I behave?" ”

"Be patient, just be careful not to misunderstand that person." Cao Hao stretched out his slap and made a gesture.

When the sixteenth elder brother heard this, his eyes rolled, and he said, "I just bought some sandalwood, and I plan to send it to Rehe for Eniang's blessing, and it seems that I should also send some ...... to the fourth brother's mansion."

Not to mention how Brother Jiu waited for Rehe's will, how the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital trembled in the Xian'an Palace.

Cao Hao went back and told Chu Yu about the difficulties of the Han Jiang clan. Regarding the proposal of the sixteenth elder brother, Chu Yu's side also agreed.

A few days later, on the first day of the sixth month, Chu Yu took a car to Haidian Garden and mentioned Han Jiang's meaning to his mother-in-law.

It's just a false name to the outside world, Li's side, thinking that it is not easy for a woman to be alone, and he also felt pity, so he packed up a pair of bracelets and a collar as a meeting gift, and he should recognize the next godgirl.

When he returned to the mansion, Chu Yu sent someone to pick up Han Jiang's family and explained the intention.

Han Jiang's family said these times, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, knowing that the moment he left Daoxiang Village and took over the errand of the Internal Affairs Office, he lost the protection of the Cao family.

She seemed to understand a little why Cao Hao recommended Zheng Woxue and his wife to the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion.

In the place where the powerful and powerful in the capital gather, the status of ordinary people is not comparable to the domestic slaves of the prince's mansion.

Remarrying is not what she wants, and joining the prince as a slave is not what she wants. She was miserable in her heart, and she couldn't tell anyone, so she could only secretly hate that she was not a man, and she was a rootless duckweed.

Worship in the name of the Li family, it is her talisman.

Thinking that he was just a businessman, but Cao Hao and his grandmother could protect each other in every way, Han Jiang's heart was ashamed and grateful.

She accepted the bracelet and collar, and the next time she accompanied Chu Yu to Haidian to ask Li and Cao Yin for peace.

Cao Yin and the Li couple accepted her kowtow, and since then the Cao family has had one more godfather.

In June, when he caught up with his relatives' family for entertainment, Chu Yu went with Han Jiang. In less than half a month, the magnates in the capital knew that there was an extra righteous daughter in the Earl's Palace.

The Han Jiang clan has nothing else, that is, there is no shortage of silver. She didn't want to take advantage of the Cao family in vain, so she gave forty percent of the shares of Daoxiang Village to Chu Yu as a gift of recognizing her relatives.

Chu Yu was only willing to help because of her hard work in Daoxiang Village a few years ago, where would she take advantage of her. Not to mention the return, he also gave her the deed and title deed of the house where Han Jiang's family lives now.

Han Jiang knows that this is Chu Yu's dowry, where is he willing to ask for nothing? I bought a four-entry mansion and gave it to Chu Yu as a return gift.

Brother Jiu left Beijing at the end of June and went to Henan Mansion, I don't know what he thought when he heard that Han Jiang's family would recognize his relatives, and there was no follow-up to what he mentioned before.

The sixteenth elder brother who was making trouble was inexplicable, and pulled Cao Hao and said: "I thought he was going to ridicule a few words, why didn't he move?" Fu Ruo, you said that he tossed this, where did the so-called come from? ”

It is said that a woman's heart, a needle under the sea, and the exquisite heart of the prince and brother of the ninth elder brother is no more difficult to guess than a woman's.

Even Cao Hao felt that something was wrong, according to the surname of Brother Jiu before, when he met Cao Hao, he had to deal with two sentences, and now when he meets occasionally, he just nods, or hums with a smile. Looking at the happy mood, where is the shame of being ruined by someone.

On the Sixteenth Elder Brother's side, he found that several subordinate officials selected by the Internal Affairs Office were more respectful to the Han Jiang clan. Even if he is just a godfather, with the Han Jiang clan who has the Earl's Mansion as his support, the identity of the Han Jiang clan is very different from that of the merchant Jia.

The surname of the sixteenth elder brother was unwilling to be confused, he thought about it for two days, and said to Cao Hao: "It can't be that the ninth brother really has a heart of pity for the Han Jiang clan, right?" made a fuss, except for giving Han Jiang an extra backer, there was no side. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Cao Hao, and only felt terrifying. Knowing their surnames like this, fueling the troubles to this point, is it considered knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent.

It seems that his imperial brother was rumored to be the "think tank" of the "Eight Masters Party" by the outside world before.

As a man, Cao Hao is quite eccentric in his heart.

In front of him, Han Jiang's family still needs to be protected by others, which is a bit mysterious. However, he also had some regrets, if Brother Jiu was not a prince, he was an ordinary man, and he could discern the Han Jiang clan, then maybe it would be a good marriage.

In the current situation of Shinong industry and commerce, with a clear hierarchy, how many people can not despise people as businessmen?

It turned out that Han Jiang's family was a guest at Cao's house, but now he has become half of his own family, and the Li family is also happy to see her. In addition, she is neither humble nor arrogant, and she has been up and down in the business world for many years, but she has not reduced her jade and ice clear, and the more she looks at it, the more happy she becomes.

In private, she has talked to Cao Yin a few times, and the woman always has to find a home. Otherwise, among relatives and friends, find a good family for this goddaughter.

Cao Yin, listening to his wife's nagging, just smiled and listened, noncommittal.

Seeing that her husband did not object, Li began to pay attention seriously and asked someone to inquire about a suitable candidate. However, serious people, even if they want to continue the strings, they must pay attention to their background; The rest of the crooked melons and cracked dates are just to cling to the power of the Cao family and the wealth of the Han Jiang clan.

The Li family is a woman in the house, so she naturally has some shortcomings, and she recognizes Han Jiang's family as her daughter, so she really sees it as her own family. After hearing the picks and chooses from the outside of Han Jiang's family, she could only sulk and put out the idea of "marrying a girl". Thinking about waiting to return to the outside of the city, I took Han Jiang's family to Caofu to live for a while, and saw if I could pick an honest person to "sit on the birth and recruit a husband".

There is an extra girl in the long room, and everyone in the second room knows about it.

In late June, when Cao Song's second daughter was full moon, Han Jiang also followed Chu Yu to Dongfu to congratulate.

Cao Song has always taken his brother as the head of the horse, and he is very arrogant, so naturally he will not think about why there are more relatives. Cao Xiang and Cao Fu thought of the rumors that their cousin was "afraid of the inside".

There are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and the rumors about Cao Hao and Han Jiang's family have never stopped over the years. After all, in the eyes of the world, a young and golden widow, resting in front of him, which man can be honest.

Now, the "little lover" has not become an outer room, nor has he been included in Cao's Mansion as a concubine, and has become a godfather who is not up or down. Cao Xiang and Cao Fu, thinking of the cousin-in-law who treats people in peace, feel that the palace's methods are really unusual.

Only Jinghui has received the favor of the long house, and knows that his brother and sister-in-law are all poor and weak people. treated her like this back then, and the same was true for the Han Jiang clan, who had no support for his six relatives.

Therefore, when she saw Han Jiang's family, she did not look and explore, only the understanding and friendliness of the same fallen people at the end of the world.

With her in front, the fourth grandmother Chunhua and the fifth grandmother Su Xin were less alienated from the Han Jiang clan and a little more polite.

Chu Yuyuan was still worried that they would look down on Han Jiang's background, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw them like this.

There are many people outside, who think like Cao Xiang and Cao Fu. It was Qifujin on the side of King Chun's mansion, because of this incident, he made a special trip to pick up Chu Yu and asked her if she had encountered any problems and grievances, so that she was in this form.

Hearing this, Chu Yu was dumbfounded, and repeatedly explained that he just looked at Han Jiang's loneliness and pulled it.

Regardless of whether Qifujin believed it or not, Chu Yu felt a little aggrieved, and when he returned to the mansion, he scratched Amethyst: "Sister Amethyst, in the eyes of outsiders, am I really jealous of the formless person?" ”

"Grandma is just kind-hearted, so why bother with all this gossip. People's hearts are sinister, and few people are willing to praise people's goodness, so they have to pick out the shortcomings of others out of nothing. Grandma has a good heart, her surname is good, others can't find out if it's not, so there are two sentences out of nothing, grandma don't take it to heart. Amethyst persuaded with a smile.

Chu Yu just complained, and after listening to Amethyst's words, he knew that he didn't have to pay attention to this. What is wrong with the name of "jealousy"; It's better than those "virtuous" people.

It is common for people outside to give gifts, and to be pretty. Because she has a bad reputation for "jealousy", the Cao family saves this trouble.

Thinking of this, Chu Yu smiled and began to discuss her husband's birthday with Amethyst.

Cao Hao is twenty-five this year, which is not only a half-full life, but also a natal year, and there is no need for previous years.

Amethyst sighed in her heart while listening to Chu Yu speak. Could it be that the eldest grandmother's enthusiasm for "recognizing relatives" is really just a matter of obeying her husband's will and feeling some pity for Han Jiang's family?

Cao Hao doesn't like beauty, and he hates trouble the most, but the Han Jiang clan, who has known this for more than ten years, is finally different.

Even Amethyst can see this, Chu Yu, as his wife, can not see this...... * Forbidden City, the main hall of the Internal Affairs Office.

The sixteenth elder brother's eyes were shining, and he almost danced with his hands, and said to Cao Hao: "Fu Ruo, I have chosen the date for the opening of the bank, and on the second day of the seventh month, you will be born." ”

In the past few months, all his thoughts have been on the bank, and now that he has finally achieved initial results, how can he not be happy.

Cao Hao calculated, there were not a few days left, and said: "Those pamphlets, the sixteenth master has been distributed?" ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded with a smile and said, "It's been issued, the major yamen in the capital, as well as the conference halls in Qianmen, and the major chambers of commerce registered in Shuntianfu have all been issued." Speaking of this, he was a little apprehensive, rubbed his hands and said, "It's really worrying, what if it's cold?" ”

After the previous agreement, the interest on the deposits of the "Daqing Bank" was set at 7% per month and 9 cents per annum; The monthly interest rate of the loan is 5 cents, and the annual interest rate is 10% 8%.

Although the interest rate is much less than that of the private usury, it does not violate the law regardless of status.

"Over there in the Internal Affairs Office, did the Sixteenth Master order?" Cao Hao asked.

The sixteenth elder brother blinked his eyes and said, "I ordered, I ordered them to open an account in the bank within three days of opening, and then the salary of the Internal Affairs Office will be directly credited to the account." ”

Cao Hao calculated the manpower of the Internal Affairs Office in his heart, and said with a smile: "What are the sixteenth masters worried about, it is enough to support the façade." You can't be fat if you eat it for a day, and after a long time, it's fine. ”

That being said, in fact, Cao Hao also made plans. The officials who are always barred from entering and leaving the bank will scare the merchants out of the door.

He had already told Cao Fang that the salaries of the major shopkeepers and masters in Daoxiang Village would also be directly transferred to the "Daqing Bank" account in the future. As for those apprentices and fellows, the salaries are low, so there is no need to toss.

After all, unlike later generations, the customers set by Daqing Bank are still mainly merchants...... Not to mention how the sixteenth elder brother and Cao Hao waited for the opening, Baylor Mansion, the major royal mansions in the capital, also received a post about the opening of the "Daqing Bank".

Thinking that there is their own stake in this, everyone is a little more motivated. The happiest thing is those female dependents.

Due to their limited status, they have some private houses in their hands, and they are not easy to lend money at will; Now that there is a bank, it is said that the account is not published, which is exactly what they want......
