Zuo Zongtang was really leaving, and after living in the Hu family's compound for three months, he set off to return to Jiangning with his Xiangyong battalion. Hu Chuyuan and the people of the Hu family came out to see them off, and He Jing, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, took people to see them off to the Qiantang River wharf.

Gradually, he couldn't see the figure of the team, Hu Chuyuan turned around and went back to his bedroom to rest.

He knew that he had just prescribed Zuo Zongtang a dose of anti-cancer medicine with a comforting surname...... When he obtains enough capital and benefits from the Qing court, he will not hesitate to overthrow this court with his own hands.

The path he wants to take is almost exactly the same as that of the four major chaebols, and soon, he will also meet with the four major chaebols in shopping malls and battlefields, fortunately, the strength of the current four chaebols is roughly the same as him.

When he woke up, it was already in the afternoon, and as soon as he got up, someone came to invite him to Suochun Courtyard, saying that He Jing invited him to talk.

What is there to talk to about this person?

couldn't help but go, so Hu Chuyuan changed into decent clothes and went to Suochun Courtyard.

When he entered the flower hall, he saw He Jing sitting on a low couch reading a book.

Hearing the movement, He Jing looked up and saw that Hu Chuyuan had come, so he politely beckoned him to sit down, and then asked: "Chu Yuan, this official and Ling Zun have been friends for many years, and I didn't want Ling Zun to drive the immortal west in his upright prime, which made this official sigh in his heart." From now on, this great family business will fall on your shoulders, and the weight is not light! ”

Hu Chuyuan arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Lord Governor, I hope that your Excellency will take more care of the business of this number in the future, and the younger generation will be grateful!" ”

He Jing smiled and said, "This matter is simple, but it is not a problem. This official is here to stay, and there is another matter to discuss with you! ”

Hu Chuyuan replied respectfully: "If the Governor has something to command, please speak up." ”

He Jing said: "The official's ancestral home is Yuhang County, Zhejiang, because the ancestor went to Xiangshan, Guangdong, to move the family to Guangdong, in recent years, the official has been interested in returning to his hometown, but the family has a large population, and the land price in Hangzhou is high, so I want to ask you for help." ”

Hu Chuyuan said with a smile: "This matter is not simple, the younger generation will do it, buy a mansion for you in Hangzhou Mansion, buy 3,000 acres of fertile land in Yuhang County, and buy more than 20 shops in Hangzhou City." ”

He Jing smiled and said, "I'm afraid of your joke when I say it, I have been an official for many years, and I have seen a lot of mansions, and it is the first time I have seen such an elegant compound, and I like it in my heart." If you can, Chu Yuan, you can buy a mansion in the West Lake area for this official according to the specifications of your family's compound, and you can rest assured that you can ...... money and wealth! ”

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Hu Chuyuan said: "Don't worry, Lord Governor, money is a trivial matter, and I will handle it properly!" ”

He Jinglang laughed and said, "Well, with your words, the official will be relieved." The official doesn't need to be in a hurry, just do it in the name of your family now, and it can be repaired in five or six years, and in addition, there is one more stone tower in the courtyard to house the ancient books that the official has privately collected for many years...... Of course, the official will not treat you badly, and if the firm says that if there is anything wrong with the affairs in Fujian and Zhejiang, you can come to the official. ”

Hu Chuyuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay." ”

He Jing became more and more happy in his heart, he knew that Hu Chuyuan should be an understanding, he did not say the specific cost, only said that according to the specifications of the Hu family's compound, no matter how he calculated, it could not be less than two million taels of silver.

Of course, he is also a person who understands, and Hu Chuyuan has already understood this, as long as this gift is really in place, he will inevitably benefit Hu Chuyuan in the future.

He had already thought about this matter, and originally wanted to take down the mansion in the name of the dowry, but now it is a bit tricky.

After pondering carefully, He Jing suddenly asked again: "Virtuous nephew, are your two younger brothers married?" ”

Hu Chuyuan replied: "My second brother has already been engaged, and the third brother originally wanted to be engaged to the Zhang family of Huizhou, but my father was in a hurry, and the matter has not yet been negotiated." ”

He Jing was overjoyed for a while, and said with a smile: "That's just right, the eldest daughter of Shibo's family is fourteen years old, good-looking, and good-looking, as the so-called eldest brother is the father, you might as well settle such a good thing with Shibo?" ”

Hu Chuyuan was stunned and said, "This ...... The third biological mother is still there, and I don't dare to make decisions on my own, so I'll go and ask. ”

He Jing was even happier, he understood his position, and everyone knew how much benefit it was to be the son-in-law of his governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, but he also saw that Hu Chuyuan was not an ordinary person, and his ideas were very unique.

He was not afraid that a female streamer would refuse, and he was afraid that Hu Chuyuan would make a decision.

He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask you to pass on this matter!" ”

Hu Chuyuan didn't dare to slack off, and immediately got up to discuss with the eldest lady and Mrs. Luo, and then found the seventh lady, the biological mother of the third Hu Xuanyuan, Hu Chuyuan actually disapproved in his heart, and didn't want to get into trouble, but the three ladies all agreed in unison.

As soon as Hu Chuyuan pondered, he said that he would ask Hu Yuanyuan what he thought first, and then he sent someone to call the third brother Hu Yuanyuan back.

It's a pity that his third brother is not a fool, so he immediately agreed.

Hu Chuyuan can't say that He Jing, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, will collapse sooner or later, and everyone will have to be implicated, so he has no choice but to ride a donkey to read the record book and see.

At this time, He Jing couldn't sit still, so he came over in person, as soon as the two elders met, one wanted wealth, the other wanted power, and they hit it off, where is Hu Chuyuan?

It's just that when they heard He Jing say about the dowry, several ladies were dumbfounded.

Scold!

Good guy, I've seen a marriage proposal, but I've never seen someone with such a black heart.

Isn't this clearly blackmail?

But in this matter, Hu Chuyuan has made up his mind, so that the three aunts don't have to ask, he will handle it, be worthy of the Hu family's net worth and status, and will not let the third child be shabby.

With Zuo Zongtang supporting him, he is in charge of this family, he agreed, and the ladies didn't say anything.

After the matter was negotiated, taking advantage of the fact that the third Hu Xuanyuan was not in a hurry to go back to guard filial piety, Hu Chuyuan pulled him aside and asked him quietly: "Do you really agree?" ”

Hu Chuyuan has two younger brothers, and the difference is quite big.

The old erhu Pinyuan is a very talkative person, he can speak well, it really seems that he has three mouths, and he talks to everyone, the old master talks, and the idler also talks.

Lao Sanhu Xuanyuan is not like this, he is more introverted, he doesn't like to talk much, as soon as he raises his eyes, there is a flickering light inside, and he has a lot of thoughts.

Hu Yuanyuan's figure and appearance are similar to Hu Chuyuan, not tall, not short, not thin or fat, the age difference is only two years, there is a shadow of Hu Xueyan in his expression, a long face with pointed jaws, slender eyes, and the tail tips of thick eyebrows are slightly raised.

Speaking in detail, Hu Xuanyuan is more like Hu Xueyan.

Hearing Hu Chuyuan's question, Hu Xuanyuan said: "Brother, don't worry, I can see that several mothers are strongly in favor, and my brother is neither opposed, nor necessarily very much in favor, most of them still think about whether I like it or not." But I also pondered, who is not to marry? If she marries me, it is better than marrying someone else, I at least know that I love her, and by the light of my father, I will not let her suffer, whether she is ugly or beautiful, since she is engaged, she is my wife. ”

Hu Chuyuan was speechless for a while, thinking to himself, there is no way, people in this era are like this.

However, he admires these people.

His third brother is more like a man, and he seems to be a material who can do great things.

Thinking of this, Hu Chuyuan said: "Third child, then I won't say more, I admit this matter." In fact, I always feel that He Jing, the governor, is not safe, and Fujian and Zhejiang are places with many disasters and difficulties, and I am worried that he will make a mistake sooner or later, so our brothers have to be careful. If one day, he accidentally planted himself in the officialdom, don't insult his daughter. But if his daughter bullies you, don't work hard. ”

Hu Yuanyuan nodded silently and said: "I also think that this person is inappropriate, how can it be reasonable to ask my family to give such a large dowry, it is obviously to blackmail us when my father is gone, and my eldest brother has not gained a firm foothold." ”

Hu Chuyuan smiled helplessly and said: "Isn't the official family like this, it has always been a bully. I think you are a very decent person, you might as well study hard, my brother will secretly vouch for you, ensure that you have a reputation, and then find a way to recommend you as an official. ”

Hu Yuanyuan thought for a while and said: "My brother said in my heart, I have this meaning, if I am in the court, I must think about the people, and I will never be like him, only caring about making money for myself." No matter how bad it is, I want to be an official like Governor Mei, and I have to do something practical! ”

Hu Chuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I understand in my heart, I will handle it properly in secret, you go to Shanglu, don't delay your father's filial piety, and also sprinkle more fire paper for me." Things here are coming out one after another, and I'm afraid I'll never be able to go again. ”

Hu Xuanyuan said: "Brother, you can rest assured, my second brother and I burn more for you every day!" In the future, there will be three of us in this family, we must hold on well, we can't let others bully our Hu family, and we can't let others laugh at us. ”

Hu Chuyuan was very moved when he heard it, and thought silently, it's good to have brothers.

An only child, the only fucking human touch is gone.

He nodded, slowly sent Hu Xuanyuan outside the gate, and waited until Hu Xuanyuan's sedan chair disappeared from sight, and then turned back to the compound.

It didn't take long for the eldest lady and the fourth lady Luo to call him over in a hurry, and the family was discussing in the music hall, of course, about the dowry.

He Jing said, don't be so troublesome, everything is done according to the framework of the Hu family's compound.

It's not fucking troublesome, in the entire five provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where is there a more luxurious garden than the Hu family's compound?

Not to mention anything else, just say that the Nanmu Hall where Mrs. Luo Si lives, more than 400 square meters are all made of high-quality golden silk nanmu, and the wood alone costs 170,000 taels of silver, and only the royal family can have such a bearing.

Mrs. Luo was angry and hateful, but she didn't know what to do.

As for Hu Chuyuan, he still said that, so he did it according to the specifications of the Hu family's compound and built a new building for the He family outside the West Lake.

Sometimes, Hu Chuyuan himself thinks about it, living in such a compound, it clearly shows that he has not lived in vain in this life.

Since Hu Chuyuan is still so magnificent, it is difficult for the ladies to say anything. Later, they talked about the relocation, Hu Chuyuan is now the spine of the family, and he can no longer squeeze in Qingya Hall with his younger brothers and sisters, and it is inconvenient to talk to outsiders.

The eldest lady means that she moved to Hele Hall, and lived in the same compound with Mrs. Luo's fourth, seventh and ninth ladies, and Hu Chuyuan moved to Baishi Building to live in the same building with the old lady, and discussed with the big shopkeepers in Baishi Building if there were any official and family affairs.

This is the bare minimum rule, and there is no room for negotiation.
