Recalling the cheap dad in his mind, Pang Shanmin couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Pang family is also a medium family in Xiangyang, the entire Pang family is surnamed Pang, Pang Degong is not only the head of the Pang family, but also the owner of Pang Jiazhuang, for Pang Degong, who pursues the heirloom of poetry and books, the Pang family is much fairer than other big families in the process of educating the children of the clan.

Just like although Pang Tong is a concubine, but because of his talent, he also shared the same size of house as Pang Shanmin, and Pang Degong's preference for Pang Tong also led to the original Pang Shanmin, which was a little tasty.

This kind of jealous mentality is not surprising, in Pang Shanmin's memory, the original indifference of the two brothers is mostly due to this reason, but as a traverser, Pang Shanmin will naturally not treat Pang Tong with his previous attitude, and Pang Shanmin can probably understand Pang Degong's decision.

The big family needs the elite to support the inheritance of the family, and the competition of the children in the clan is just a necessary process for selecting the elite.

And Pang Shanmin's purpose of going to see Pang Degong, naturally there is also a reason to want to regain the favor of the head of the family, calling Pang Unified, that is, Pang Shanmin does not want there to be a mustard between brothers, and now Pang Degong is not old, enough to support the position of the head of the family for decades, as for the position of the head of the family, Pang Shanmin is not interested at all, although the family business of the Pang family is not small, it cannot enter the eyes of Pang Shanmin.

When the ink on the bamboo slips dried, Pang Shanmin rolled up the bamboo slips, and walked to the largest mansion in the village with Pang Tong.

"Brother wants to dedicate the art of papermaking to the patriarch?"

"Papermaking can be used to accumulate capital in the early stage of our development, and as for informing my father about it, it is just for the family to make more money." After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, seeing that Pang Tong was silent, Pang Shanmin smiled and said, "Of course, I will hand over this thing and ask for something." ”

"What is my brother asking for?" Pang Tong was puzzled: "Now that the patriarch is upright and in his prime, if the elder brother seeks the position of patriarch, I am afraid that the patriarch will not like it." ”

"Naturally, I don't want to ask for the position of patriarch, for this patriarch who deals with trivial matters in the village, I think even if it is Shiyuan, I am afraid that he does not take the Pang family's family business in his eyes." Pang Shanmin is not afraid of big words and flashed his tongue, in fact, for the position of the head of the Pang family, Pang Shanmin really has no idea at all, in troubled times, the burden on the patriarch of a family is not light, in this kind of old family perishing all the time, when the new family rises, the position of the head of the family does not have many practical benefits except for adding countless responsibilities and burdens that Pang Shanmin does not want to bear.

Seeing Pang Tongyi's puzzled expression, Pang Shanmin smiled and said, "How many years older than you, it's time to marry a wife." ”

……

Pang Tong was speechless for a long time after listening to Pang Shanmin's words, and after a long while, Pang Tong said: "It turns out that it is just for this bit of, the eldest husband has no wife, and the elder brother has great ambitions, so he should devote more energy to making meritorious contributions." ”

"As the saying goes, the prosperity of the family and the family should be ranked before the meritorious service, Shi Yuan can also laugh at me for not being generous enough, but for my brother, if I can't even handle the family affairs properly, what else can I talk about dealing with big things?" After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, Pang Tong disagreed, shook his head, Pang Tong's eyes lit up, and said with a smile: "I don't know which woman my brother has fallen in love with." ”

"A widow, as a brother, just wants to get acquiescence from her father and be ordered to pick up girls." After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, Pang Tong was speechless for a while, in recent times, Pang Shanmin has changed too much, Pang Tong has been a little unable to keep up with Pang Shanmin's train of thought, just a widow? Bought it, how to talk about marrying a wife, with Pang Shanmin's identity, even if he went to marry the Taishou family, it was not impossible, Pang Tong could never have imagined that Pang Shanmin was a dignified talent, and he would actually go to fight with the patriarch for the sake of a widow.

"Uh...... Brother, all I can say is that your idea is amazing. ”

"Widows are more magical."

The two walked and chatted, and after a while, they came to the outside of the mansion, it was already night, Pang Shanmin pushed the door in, in the dim light, the hall was flickering with dim lights, and one or two middle-aged people with gray temples were holding bamboo slips in their hands, and they were reading in the lobby.

"I've seen my father."

"I've seen the patriarch."

"Shiyuan is here? And the mountain people? The two of you are very close. The middle-aged man was Pang Degong, after putting down the book, Pang Degong got up and walked out of the lobby, came to the courtyard, smiled with satisfaction, and said: "The two of you are here together, which means that the mountain people have understood the painstaking work of being a father." ”

"It's that the mountain people have always been too stupid." After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, the momentum of neither humility nor arrogance made Pang Degong's eyes brighten, and Pang Degong laughed and said: "You two came together, what happened?" Don't you want to ask me, the patriarch, for spare money! ”

"It's the elder brother who came to send money to the patriarch." Pang Tong was not restrained at all in front of this kind patriarch, stretched out his hand and pointed to the bamboo slip under Pang Shanmin's armpit, and smiled at Pang Degong: "This thing made by my brother is worth ten thousand dollars!" ”

Pang Degong gasped when he heard this, although Pang Tong was a little rebellious on weekdays, he never spoke, Pang Tong said this, but Pang Degong was speechless in an instant.

"It's just a recollection of the ancient books I watched in the past, and I summarized the way to get rich, since I am a child of the Pang family, I must dedicate it to my father." After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, he put the bamboo slips in both hands and said to Pang De: "Father can still have a view, if he thinks it is feasible, he can let the farmers in the village make paper according to this." ”

"Papermaking"?

Pang Degong saw the words on the scroll, and couldn't wait to return to the hall under the lamp to unfold the bamboo slips, the lines of words in the bamboo slips clearly recorded the method of papermaking, Pang Degong was originally a great Confucian, and he knew a little about the production method of Cai Hou paper, and the papermaking thaumaturgy in Pang Shanmin's hands, no matter how you look at it, is more reasonable than the production method of Cai Hou paper.

"According to this law, paper can be made?" Pang Degong looked at Pang Shanmin with wide eyes, wanting to confirm the horror in his heart again.

"It's only stronger than Cai Hou paper, not weak." Pang Shanmin said confidently.

"If that's the case, the Pang family will be prosperous!" Pang Degong stroked his long beard and laughed: "Say, what do the mountain people ask for when they offer this thing to their father?" ”

"But my father knows me." Pang Shanmin nodded, took a deep look at Pang Degong, and Pang Shanmin said: "Father, can you remember the family that lived in Pangjiazhuang two years ago?" ”

"You mean them?" Pang Degong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Didn't you fall in love with someone's little girl?" Although her family's family history is a bit secretive, you can come here to talk about it, you must already know their background. Do you want to help your father with something? It's not difficult, and the identity of their family is not insulting to you. ”

"Uh...... It's not the little girl who hasn't grown. As soon as Pang Shanmin heard it, he knew that his father had thought about it, and interrupted Pang Degong, who still wanted to talk endlessly, and said with a wry smile: "I think it's still the second mother of that little girl, who has a better appetite for me......"
