274 Abandon literature and business and live in seclusion in a small town
Just after the Cui family suffered all kinds of disasters and blows one after another, Chen Yaozu also got the news one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info It turned out that Chen Yaozu did not go away, but hid directly in Taiyuan Mansion, out of infatuation with Cui Xuehan, after he arrived here, he decided to look at the situation and then decide on the next plan.
If something really happens, no matter how far you run, it's useless, this "under the whole world, it's not the king's land", how can you bear to abandon the beauty and live alone in the world?
Under his bitter pleading, the old family who sent him was also taken aback, but out of great sympathy for his second young lady, he still carried the interests of the Cui family behind his back, and agreed to the request of this hard-working little Xiucai against his will, and the two sides agreed to meet again in this small shop in Taiyuan City two months later.
Just after Chen Yaozu was almost at home in this store and waited for a month and a half, this kind old man hurried here and told him everything in detail, which couldn't help but surprise Chen Yaozu. It's just that the son of the Cui family drowned, this guy is just a big straw bag anyway, but how could the Cui family disappear mysteriously?
This made him fall into long-term pain, which made Chen Yaoming forget that if it wasn't for the great changes in the Cui family, I am afraid that he would have caught up with him now, what kind of terrible result would be waiting for him!
But half a month later, a Haiwen announcement was posted in Taiyuan Mansion that the Cui family was smuggling prohibited items at sea and was arrested by the imperial court, which made Chen Yaozu even more worried.
In order to find out the news, he hid in this city again, and after another half a year, there was still no news of the Cui family, and later he also heard that the Cui family must have fled to the foreigners, and there was no way for the court to go to sea to arrest it! But there is no definite news, Chen Yaozu is still unwilling to leave Taiyuan City like this, in order to wait for the last news, after a long period of consideration, he simply assumed the name Chen Sheng, abandoned literature and business, entered a rice shop in Taiyuan Mansion, and started as an apprentice first.
Because he is humble, sincere, and has good friends with everyone in the store everywhere, plus he was originally a Xiucai and can read and break words, so he often helps the other guys in the store write a letter to their families without collecting a penny. From time to time, he would go to these people's homes and write a letter of peace every month, which couldn't help but make everyone's good impression of him grow day by day, and they often took care of each other.
And Chen Yaozu has been playing a good abacus since he was a child, especially the Chen family's stunt taught by his father, that is, he has two uses in his heart, he can dial two abacus at the same time, and the technique is to calculate two accounts, just when he was in the Cui family, he still practiced hard.
At the end of the second year, due to the fact that the bookkeeper in the store fell ill unexpectedly, Zhu Decai, the big proprietor of the rice shop, was really anxious to die.
But if you don't invite outsiders to take inventory, how can the books of these dozen or so branches be cleared, how can the general ledger be correct, and how to withdraw the dividends from various stores and the government, all of which can be good?
Just when he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, Chen Yaozu directly found him in person to recommend himself, but his father had always regarded it as a trick of the two-handed plan, in the end, it would be difficult to reach the elegance in the future, so he had always been strictly ordered not to show it outside, but now in order to gain a firm foothold here in the future, Chen Yaozu is no longer able to fight much, and Zhu Dongjia, who has long known that this kid writes good words, has the idea of trying it out, so he let him go directly to the battle.
When he saw that this kid could dial two abacus at the same time, and he was so flexible and methodical, the eyes of this big proprietor Zhu Decai were almost "falling to the ground", this kid God, but he didn't want to have such a powerful person in his store.
After three days and three nights of sleepless hard work by Chen Yaozu, he finally calculated the general ledger of the whole year, and the detailed accounts of each branch were also calculated clearly, and the dividends of each shareholder were even more refined in the end, which made Zhu Decai happy. After the beginning of the spring of the third year, he directly promoted Chen Yaozu to become the third shopkeeper of this rice shop, and gradually participated in the overall business of the Zhu family.
Later, I thought that I still have to go out often, but he still doesn't have a legal identity, and if the government finds out in the future, he really can't tell if he can't tell it. After thinking about it again, Chen Yaozu found Zhu Dong's family in person, and randomly made up a situation for himself that was quite miserable before, and asked him to come forward to Taiyuan Mansion to go through a household registration procedure for himself.
After listening to his request, because now is the time to use this kid, in front of huge interests, so the Zhu family was exempt from embarrassment, and spent a lot of money to really check the people in the government, which re-established Chen Yaozu's identity, so that he will always be called Chen Sheng in the future.
Because this kid is shrewd, and can endure great hardships, and often goes out to investigate the rice market situation in surrounding provinces and cities, he has made a lot of money for the store, and by the end of the sixth year, he has quickly become the second shopkeeper in the store.
In order to be able to find a new source of rice, he often took a few guys in the store to and from south to north and kept running around, in fact, he was also quietly looking for his father, how the ship was wrecked and died in the Yangtze River, of course, he was also looking for the whereabouts of the Cui family.
Under his painstaking management, the original business of the Zhu family was finally expanded by nearly ten times, so that ten years later, it quickly became one of the largest grain merchants in Shanxi, and Chen Yaozu was already thirty years old at this time.
Zhu Decai, the big proprietor, was deeply moved when he saw that the second shopkeeper in his store was so dedicated, and he was promoted to the big shopkeeper of the rice store as early as a year ago.
Especially when he saw that Chen Yaozu was still single, he took the initiative to find a matchmaker, ready to marry a daughter-in-law for Chen Yaozu, but he didn't want this Chen Da shopkeeper to reward this face, but said that the time is not ripe yet, let's talk about it later!
was surprised by Chen Yaozu's completely unconventional life, Zhu Decai had to give up his good intentions of having a wife for him. Among them, in Chen Yaozu's heart, his affection for Cui Xuehan has never been broken. Over the years, he has traveled all over the country, isn't it just to take the opportunity to find a new source of rice, so as to find out the news of the Cui family, but it is a pity that the Cui family seems to have disappeared from this world, no matter how hard he tried, he did not find even a little clue at all.
Over the years, he has also deliberately approached some people in the government, so as to find out the news of his family and the Cui family very secretly. After many verifications, he also did not find evidence that his father was framed by the enemy when he was shipwrecked, which also made Chen Yaozu's idea of revenge slowly let go.
Although there is no news about the Cui family. But the only good thing is that in the past ten years, the Cui family has obviously escaped the strict pursuit of the government, and there is no news that they have been caught. Chen Yaozu, who has never been able to let go of this knot, finally did not start a family, until he was about forty years old, just the annual dividends received by this Zhu family were already quite considerable, not to mention, he was still secretly running his own rice shop, and he also made a fortune.
Later, in the fourteenth year of Jiaqing, he went south to Yangzhou with the big merchant ship, but he didn't want to accidentally find a big granary in its surrounding area, that is, Xinghua, a small city known as a fish and rice water town.
The alternation of the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter here in Xinghua is very obvious, and the abundant and fresh aquatic products are all year round, fish, shrimp, crab, turtle, snail, mussel, clam and other aquatic products are diverse. There are many varieties of fish products: blue, silver carp, lithium, silver, black, bream, osmanthus and tiger shark. When eating these delicious river fresh, Chen Yaozu never wanted to leave this paradise again.
There is also the fresh white fish belly meat and the large fish balls carefully made from the lotus root of the sand ditch flowers, which are extremely delicious. Lotus root, lotus, water chestnut, taro, lettuce, mushrooms, etc., these local vegetables left a deep impression on him, as well as the rich taste that has been reminiscent for a long time.
In addition, there are several bathrooms here, every day people here can be extremely happy to take a steaming hot bath, here is especially famous for the "Lianquan" bathroom on the west street in the city, among the antique courtyard buildings, between the green bamboo swaying, everyone comes and goes, and then in the bathroom built around the bluestone slabs, wash away the fatigue of the body, and then talk about what strange things happened in the small city that day, and it really makes Chen Yaozu is big eye.
And the humanistic feelings here make him admire, the four archways here are one of the few in the country, there are nearly 100 Jinshi in the past dynasties, and the plaques of the royal rewards in the past dynasties are countless, it is really a dumbfounded Chen Yaozu, this is really a good place for a person to excel and a treasure of things!
Now that he has been working hard for the Zhu family for nearly 20 years, it is time for him to take a good rest.
For a long time, he still didn't hear any news about the Cui family, thinking that when he was in Taiyuan City, someone said that the Cui family must have fled to the sea. If that's the case, Cui Xuehan must be having a very good life now, but I don't know if the child in the belly is a man or a girl?
As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yaozu couldn't help but have a strong desire to "renew the incense" for the Chen family. Since there has been no unfavorable news for the Cui family for so many years, it is better for me to get married early!
After this trip to Jiangnan, he took the initiative to ask Zhu Laodong to say goodbye, and made it clear that he wanted to live in a small city and live forever.
Fortunately, this person is just far away from Shanxi, and he did not help any merchants, which also plays a great role in protecting the secrets of the Zhu family's business. In order to thank him for his great contribution to the Zhu family's rice line in the past 21 years, Zhu Desheng generously gave him a considerable amount of money and sent someone to escort him all the way to the small city of Xinghua.
After arriving in Xinghua, Chen Yaozu relied on the talents he had secretly gathered over the years to quietly let these dozen people come to Xinghua Town and settle down one by one.
After taking care of the local government, he took the initiative to visit the local celebrities and gentry one by one, as well as some Taoist figures, and finally settled down in this small town.
Next, he secretly sent people to Shanxi, and quietly moved the graves of his parents to Xinghua, so that in the future, the children and grandchildren of the Chen family would sweep the tombs and worship every year. Then he spent a lot of money to build the Chen family ancestral hall and invited the ancestral tablets of his parents, so that Chen Yaozu was completely at ease.
In the end, he first bought a deep house compound in the city, and then opened a restaurant, a money village, a silk shop, etc. in the city, and later purchased tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the suburbs, and it was really beautiful for a while. After that, he immediately married the youngest daughter of a great gentry in the small town as his wife, but in the next five years, he married the wife of the sixth aunt in one go.
These women also gave birth to five boys and six girls for him, Chen Yaozu finally "branched out" in this small city, and settled here permanently from generation to generation, and the ancestral "hundred-year-old" jade pendant handed over to him by Cui Xuehan, the second lady of the Cui family, was only passed on to the eldest son of the big house from generation to generation, and finally passed to Chen Qiang's hands.
