"You dog slave, there are many things, if outsiders don't know, you should still take advantage of this king!" Yarjianga frowned, stretched out his foot, and kicked Cui Fei who was kneeling on the ground.

Cui Fei didn't dare to hide, he was kicked with his neck facing the sky, his ankle was twisted, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Hmph, I have to remember my surname for a long time in the future, if I play a little clever again, my lord's whip has not been used for a long time." Yarjana said coldly.

Cui Fei was pardoned, but he knew that his father loved face the most, and it was better to be beaten with two feet than to win the bid. On his face, he couldn't wait to cry bitterly, and said in a wailful voice: "Ye Rao's little one, the little lard is blindfolded, and I will never dare to act rashly in the future." ”

"Cao Hao, this kid, has two hits." Yaerjiang muttered, and said to Cui Fei: "There is no second time left and right, you just remember your surname for a long time, otherwise don't blame the master for not remembering the old feelings." On the Cao family's side, since you have received a favor, you will go to pre-backup the thank you gift and find an opportunity to give it. Remember, don't pretend to be a ghost under the banner of the master. ”

Yarjana said harshly in his mouth, but he was quite useful in his heart.

In addition to Cui Fei's sixty percent share of wine, the Kang family, who won forty percent of the Mongolian tea ceremony, also went to the palace to pay filial piety.

When Cui Fei went out, Yarjianga sat on the chair, but his mind was thinking about Cao Haoping's silent appearance.

But the more he pondered, the more he felt that this kid was the master of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", which was different from the people he had seen before. He is so young, but he is not arrogant or impatient, so that people can't get bored to come to the corner of Yaerjiang's mouth with a little smile, thinking about whether he should find a reason and invite Cao Hao to come over for a drink.

He was thinking about what to use when he heard a timid voice at the door: "Cousin......"

Hearing this, Yarjianga restrained his smile, his face was a little more impatient, and said, "Come in." ”

Outside, in a low voice, it was Yarjana's cousin Ne Min who came in.

"What's the matter? Hear who chewed his tongue, or did someone unruly? Yarjianga looked at her timid appearance, and her heart was very tired, but she still asked patiently.

Ne Min shook his head quickly, grabbed the handkerchief in his hand, and whispered, "No, no, yes...... In half a month, it is my cousin's birthday, and my sister is thinking about what gift to prepare, which can be regarded as making amends to my cousin......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end of the sentence, she had already cried "humble".

Yarjianga only felt more and more irritable, waved his hand, and said, "If you don't do your business, what is the crime?" She is a generous person, hasn't she already cleaned up the yard for you and arranged for her mother-in-law and maids? You're still young, and you're still on the roster of show girls. Wait for the next draft, I will give you a waiver, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to seal it. ”

"Cousin-in-law, she's annoyed me......" Ne Min choked up and said, "Self-beaten...... Since the day of the fight, my cousin-in-law moved to the warm pavilion to live ......"

Yarjana listened with a gloomy face, and was speechless for a long time.

"My cousin-in-law didn't pay attention to me, my cousin didn't go to the inner courtyard, Wu and Jin didn't look at me right, and they laughed at me in their hearts......" The more Ne Min spoke, the more aggrieved he became, his little face had shrunk into a ball, and tears and snot came out.

Yarjiang'a couldn't give birth to the mind of pity and cherishing the jade, and frowned: "It's not a child anymore, what are you crying for?" Ye is still busy with official business, so he will come to the study less in the future. In the future, you will also be the master of the house, let the minions report something, save yourself from your identity, and don't make people laugh. If you are bored, after two days of the temple fair, let Ilgen Jue Luo take you out for a walk. ”

Ne Min sobbed and answered, and muttered two more sentences, making sure that the words that arranged for someone to take her out to play were not false, so she wiped her tears and went out.

Yarjianga sat on the chair and said to herself, "What day is her birthday?" ”

But he remembered in a trance, thinking about the drunken messing with his surname, Yarjianga felt uncomfortable, but he was also very innocent.

It's just that he's drunk too much, and it's not sincere, and it's not a sin.

Although he didn't say soft words, he directly assigned the few Zhuangzi that his mother married back then to Zhen'er's name, which can be regarded as indirect reparation.

The partial life of Fujin is still lukewarm, and there is no joy at all.

Woman, it's really troublesome, Yarjianga only feels upset and irritable, and doesn't want to think about it anymore......* Unlike the gloom of Yarjana's family, Fudjan's house is full of joy.

This is a seaside hotel in Shicha, a famous shop in the inner city, and a business in the house of a director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

At present, it is the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother who are banqueting the officials of the Internal Affairs Office, also to celebrate the successful completion of this bidding.

It was a sea cucumber table of three taels and six dollars of silver, and everyone praised it.

Although no matter how much silver is put into the account, there is nothing for everyone to do, and they have to enter the household department and the inner treasury, but after all, they have been busy for half a month, and they can't help but make people's faces shine when they think about the numbers they heard after the bidding.

Even if there is no merit, there is hard work.

In the future, everyone's waist can also be straightened. Who said that they were just slaves of the Son of Heaven, doing errands that were not tight on sesame grains?

Which yamen in the Great Qing Dynasty can be like the Internal Affairs Office, and it took two months of hard work to make such a fuss and raise all this money?

Everyone couldn't help but feel proud, looking at the door of the private room where Cao Hao was, their eyes were full of eagerness.

According to the rules, for this bidding, Cao Hao is going to hand over the fold. Who has the credit, and should it also be listed on the excerpt?

Thinking of the news he got from the Taifu Temple before, Cao Hao treated him very well, not only did he not covet the merits of the people below, but he was also willing to promote people, so many people had hope.

When they saw Yi Duli smiling like a flower and toasting around with a dumb voice, those subordinate officials who originally wanted to be the grass on the wall made up their minds and hugged Cao Hao's thighs back, messing with the manager.

Cao Hao sat in the private room, and in addition to the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, Ma Qi and He Yi were sitting at the same table.

The wine is good wine, the banquet is a good feast, and everyone is smiling, but they are not as lively as outside.

Ma Qi drank two cups, and then said that he was old and could not drink enough, so he asked the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother to forgive their sins and retreat.

He Yi couldn't speak to everyone, and when he saw Ma Qi leaving the table, he found an excuse and left with him.

There are only three left, Cao Hao, the sixteenth elder brother, and the seventeenth elder brother in the private room, but they are much more comfortable.

The seventeenth elder brother leaned back in the chair, revealing a little dullness, and said, "Sixteenth brother, Fu Ruo, you two eat and drink well, I won't accompany you." My body is so tired that I really don't have much appetite. ”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao, and saw that his eyes were slightly blue, and he didn't have much energy, so he said, "There are no outsiders, what are you doing drinking this Laoshzi?" As he spoke, he looked at the greasy table and had no appetite.

He turned around and instructed Zhao Feng: "Send a message to the kitchen, boil some porridge, and serve a few light side dishes, well, I want the sesame oil bamboo shoots, and the cold radish tassel or something." ”

Zhao Feng answered, and the sixteenth elder brother looked at Cao Hao and said, "You are pretending to have something in your heart, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" In fact, there is nothing to be afraid of, what if the auction is lost? You don't like to climb up, but now you have become a monkey in the heart of the Buddha, and it's too late to run. ”

Cao Hao was hiding something in his heart last night, so he was a little excited, and he didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night.

But it's not a heart-wrenching bidding, and sometimes, the dignity of a man is above all else.

Thinking of last night's absurdity, Cao Hao couldn't help but feel a little warm, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he forgot to reply for a while.

Seeing Cao Hao's strange face, the sixteenth elder brother raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter, he's stupid with joy?" ”

When Cao Hao heard this, he woke up like a dream and said with a smile: "Although it is reasonable, I am quite satisfied." If we can do better, it is a great good. ”

The seventeenth elder brother was beside him, glanced at Cao Hao, and said, "The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, should Fu Ruo be content?" If you want to do better, you are not afraid of being gilded, and people will directly make you as the god of wealth. ”

The sixteenth elder brother frowned and said: "Fu Ruo, you don't like to be public, don't try to be beautiful at this time, be careful to bury trouble." ”

After Cao Hao finished speaking, he knew that he had lost his words.

What he said is not the same thing as what the sixteenth and seventeenth elder brothers are worried about.

It's just that this is not easy to explain, so he can only say vaguely: "It's not that I'm not satisfied with the amount of bidding, but I feel that there are still many deficiencies, which are easy to make mistakes." Fortunately, the sixteenth master and the seventeenth master cared for me and left me a way back. Otherwise, there will be a mistake, and I really won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

Only then did the sixteenth elder brother soothe his eyebrows and nodded: "It's good that you know how to be afraid, I'm afraid that you will eat the bear's heart and leopard gall." If you know how to be afraid, you won't get carried away. All of a sudden, the limelight is a little bigger, I'm afraid I'm waiting to see your jokes, not one or two. ”

While speaking, Zhao Feng had already returned, followed by two guys who served plates, and sent the porridge and side dishes over.

The table was cleaned up and the food was re-arranged, and the seventeenth elder brother followed the sixteenth elder brother's words, and said: "Speaking of pantothenic acid in my heart, like the ninth brother, I was offended this time, so be careful; Like Ma Qi and He Yi, the two of them were a little uncomfortable to look at. ”

Cao Hao knew it in his heart, and said: "I will write an excerpt in the evening, and these two adults will also be listed on the excerpt." Holding it high, if they are not happy, then I have nothing else to do but let them go. ”

The sixteenth elder brother showed a little disdain on his face, and said, "Don't look at them holding shelves, as if they are so high, bullshit." This is a dead man's face, but because you have done a big thing alone, it seems that they are a waste of snacks. I can see that the more he claims to be a scholar, the more he wants to be famous......"

Cao Hao listened while gently stirring the porridge bowl in front of him with a spoon.

Porridge is divided into sweet porridge and salty porridge, the sweet one is the champion porridge, and the salty one is the preserved egg and lean porridge.

The sixteenth elder brother has known Cao Hao for a long time, and knows the little taboos in his diet, this porridge is made of japonica rice, and it smells fragrant.

Cao Hao is a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and he eats it on the tip of the bamboo shoots, which is very sweet.

A bowl of porridge went down to his stomach, and Cao Hao's stomach felt a lot more comfortable.

The seventeenth elder brother was beside him, already pinching his fingers, counting several major bidding projects today, and muttering: "There are five bids of more than one million." The latter two points are good, but this time it is a lot more silver than I thought before. However, didn't it mean that the thirteenth brother's business also came to bid, why didn't you hear any movement? ”

The sixteenth elder brother nodded and said, "Yes, I always feel that I have pulled something down." Fu Ruo, we seem to be busy and forgot about the thirteenth brother. This Yarjiang's face is given, and if the thirteenth brother doesn't take care of it, he can't say it. ”

"The two masters don't have to worry about this, the thirteenth master sent a capable shopkeeper over there, and he ate thirty percent of the trade volume of Nanyang Trade." Cao Hao heard what he said and replied.

After the bidding was completed just now, Cao Hao had already asked Wang Lusheng to ask, and the answer was like this.

Wang Lusheng was able to use more than the upper and lower amounts of money, so he jointly bid with Zheng Woxue, and the two families shared sixty percent of the trade volume of Nanyang.

When Cao Hao explained the cause and effect, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were dumbfounded.

"That one and a half million is also seven hundred and fifty thousand, thirteen brothers...... The thirteenth brother has only been comfortable in the past two years, and it is easy to say that it is 30,000 or 50,000, and 100,000 or 80,000 can also be made; These 750,000 yuan, you can't get it together if you smash the pot and sell iron! The seventeenth elder brother asked puzzledly: "This is the female shopkeeper of the thirteenth brother's family?" She had a good appetite, but she didn't weigh the amount over there. ”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Hao and said, "You have become a Bole, where did you get such a capable woman." She did have a lot of strength, and some women didn't want to shave their eyebrows. To be able to swallow a three-percent deal so quietly is a capable one. ”

Zheng Woxue is a person with an idea, but he is honest and steady.

This time, we should also take some countermeasures with this idea.

In the past, in addition to the 130,000 yuan that Yang Mingchang bid for, when Zheng Woxue left the bead field, Cao Hao also asked someone to send her a few boxes of high-quality pearls. I heard that in the past few years in Guangzhou, she sometimes did some business, and I think she also had some surplus.

In this way, Zheng Woxue has almost 200,000 taels of silver in his hands.

Rao is like this, this is far from the bidding price of 700,000 taels of silver, and the distance is much worse.

For the rest, what will Zheng Woxue think?

… With this question, Cao Hao came out of Fude Fang and did not go back to the house directly, but followed the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother to the thirteenth elder brother's mansion.

When the thirteenth elder brother saw them coming, he was very happy and said, "I heard that the bidding is very smooth, and it is not in vain that you have worked hard." It's hard for you to know that in a few days, the fifth full moon of our family is thinking of sending someone to send you an invitation. ”

The seventeenth elder brother tilted his head and said, "Thirteenth brother, you can still laugh." Could it be that the female shopkeeper in your house hasn't come back yet? Don't know the details? ”

The thirteenth elder brother listened to it and said with a smile: "I'm back early, I didn't see the wrong person in the end, I'm a capable person." In the capital, I am afraid that there will be no more such capable women. ”

For some reason, when listening to the thirteenth elder brother say this, Cao Hao's eyes appeared in front of Han Jiang's appearance in men's clothes.

*Nancheng, the private residence of the Cheng family.

Han Jiang's face was already a little pleading: "Fourth uncle, can't you really help your niece?" If you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to make money like this again. ”

Cheng Mengkun waved his hand and said, "Wenqi, it's not that my uncle doesn't want to help you, now that the Cheng family has monopolized the Oros business road, I don't know how many people are jealous." If it is at this time, it is too attractive to carry the money out. You are a little woman, live a good life, the money left to you by your parents is enough for you to chew for several lifetimes, what are you tossing......"
