Chapter 28 is ingenious
Candles were lit in the hall, the maid brought the food to the table, and the family prepared to start the meal. In the past few days, the people who have been holding up have been in a good mood, and they thought that the son-in-law who was rich was losing money, and he wanted to recruit a golden beetle son-in-law. Nowadays, the Pudong trading market has become famous and well-known. My uncle owns half of the stocks in the trading market, and he knows it.
Holding high, the person squinted his eyes and looked at Deng Zixuan fondly: "Xianxu! Walked around the manor today, how was the fun? "The exalted people have nothing to say. Deng Zixuan groaned and said, "Father-in-law, I walked around the manor today, and I was deeply touched. Now the imperial court has implemented a new policy to encourage business, but it's a pity that our manor only grows food! ”
"Xianxu, the manor is surrounded by land, what do you do if you don't grow food, as the saying goes, the Taoist family has food and don't panic, and the people take food as the sky!" The exalted man laughed. Deng Zixuan said: "No agriculture is unstable, this is the origin. But no business, no rich! I guess my father-in-law knows the secret! "The Gao family has grown grain for generations, and has never gone through business, could it be that Xianxu has an idea?" The thought of trading the big market can't help but get excited.
Deng Zixuan said: "Father-in-law, I think so, Rose Villa is only 5 kilometers away from Shanghai City, so I want to engage in a variety of businesses to sell agricultural products. "What is diversification?" Exalt people to bewilder. "For example, the food we produce can be sold in our trading market, and we can buy grain to sell in the future. Therefore, if we build a granary on the estate, the profit will be considerable. Holding up people's eyes lit up and said: "Although the profit of grain is small, it is traded all year round, this is a safe deal, no wonder Hu Xueyan cooperates with you, presumably Xianxu has a unique vision and talent for business." ”
Deng Zixuan took the opportunity to say: "Father-in-law, the two small rivers and beaches outside the manor should also be utilized, we can raise chickens, ducks, and pigs, which can be sold in the city and sold in the trading market, and after the scale is formed in the future, the profit will be more objective!" Hearing this, the people were overjoyed and said: "Xianxu, you are really shrewd, Steward Zhang!" Steward Zhang, who was waiting outside, hurriedly walked in and said, "Master! What do you command? "Steward Zhang, in the future, the affairs of the manor will be handed over to my uncle, and you must obey his dispatch." The exalted man lifted his beard with joy. "Yes, sir! I will do my best to assist my uncle! Steward Zhang glanced at Deng Zixuan, and was very shocked in his heart.
Deng Zixuan was engrossed in drawing, Wan'er was studying ink in person, and the maids Biying and Danxia were waiting beside him. When Wan'er saw the sketch drawn by her husband, her heart was full of sweetness. At this time, Wan'er looked at her husband's eyebrows, hair, and even the posture of holding the pen was so cute, and she was secretly glad that God had sent such an excellent man to her side. She likes this man's mouth into the peach, this man sometimes disobeys her and likes it, this man has no temper and often cares for her more, and this man does his best and does not follow the rules. Wan'er feels that she is the happiest person on Shijie.
"Uncle! What is this drawing! "Uncle! You've been drawing dozens of drawings these days, what the hell are you going to do! Bi Ying and Danxia were clamoring beside them, Deng Zixuan finished drawing a ziihou stroke, stretched his waist and said: "Look at the two of you chirping like a pair of sparrows, it annoys me to death, and I will marry you out if I am unhappy that day." "Miss, look at my uncle bullying us!" "Miss, you have to call the shots for us!" Biying and Danxia were startled.
Wan'er smiled and said, "You grew up with me since you were a child, and you are like sisters. You two are not too young anymore, it's time to find a good family to marry! "Miss, I'm going to serve you for the rest of my life!" "Miss, don't let us leave you." A sentence woke up the dreamer, Deng Zixuan looked at them intently and secretly thought: Biying and Danxia are both beauties, why didn't I pay attention to that! "Miss! You see, my uncle is serious! "We'd rather die than get married!"
"Wan'er, as the saying goes, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, I have a few brothers who will come back at the end of the year, if Biying and Danxia like it, I think they will get married." "Your brother?" Wan'er was confused. Deng Zixuan said: "It's my brother of life and death, Wan'er, you have to be mentally prepared, they will all regard you as a master mother in the future." Right now, the brothers are away on business and will be back before the end of the year. Brother Chen has already married, and there are still 5 brothers who are not married. Wan'er, you are now my wife, and you will share the marriage of the brothers for me in the future! Deng Zixuan said with a grim face.
"Husband, could it be that your brother is a person from the rivers and lakes, a homeless and unemployed person?" Play asked in surprise. "Yes, once I was confronted by robbers, and they saved my life. Later, they defected to me and became brothers in life and death. "Since it is the life and death brother of the husband, the slave family will undertake it!" Wan'er said happily. Bi Ying and Dan Xia heard that they were their uncle's brothers, and their hearts were slightly calm, and if they got married in the future, at least they would not leave Miss.
The next day, after breakfast, Deng Zixuan showed the drawings to his father-in-law, and explained in detail the wonderful use of each drawing. After reading it, Gao Juren's heart was overjoyed, and he urged Steward Zhang to undertake it. Everyone was itching for joy, and suddenly a family member came in and said, "Uncle, there are people outside asking to see!" Deng Zixuan got up and came to the gate of the courtyard, only to see a capable man in his thirties greet him and say, "May I ask Mr. Deng!" "Right down there!"
The comer took out a letter from his bosom and said, "Mr. Deng! This is Mr. Hu's letter to you, in the next farewell! Deng Zixuan guessed eight or nine points without opening the letter: Brother Hu is so efficient, wow, if this matter is handled by himself for at least half a year. When he opened the letter and checked it, as expected, Deng Zixuan couldn't help but sigh. Entering the hall from the new, the person raised the person curiously and asked: "Xianxu! Who's coming? ”
Deng Zixuan said lightly: "Father-in-law, it was Hu Xueyan who sent me a letter to discuss the joint establishment of the factory. "Joint factory?" The exalted man was slightly surprised. "Father-in-law, Hu Xueyan is wealthy, and he is familiar with the road on the official face. Our joint trading market is very prosperous right now, so he thinks very highly of me. This letter was written by him urging me to discuss cooperation in setting up a factory. Gao Juren picked up the letter and said, "I agree with you to go, but is there something wrong with Wan'er Yan'er's new marriage!" ”
"Father-in-law, Wan'er went with me, and before I got married, I asked someone to buy a house in the city, just to facilitate business negotiations. Father-in-law, rest assured, Wan'er won't suffer when she goes out. "Alright! I agree with you to go, and leave the affairs of the family to me! "I heard that it is a cooperation with Hu Xueyan to set up a factory, and it is too late for Gao to be happy, so there is no reason not to allow it. When Wan'er heard that her husband was taking her with her, she was ecstatic in her heart. Before leaving, Deng Zixuan explained to Steward Zhang in detail how to lay it out, and he didn't stop until he understood it.
The next day, Deng Zixuan, Wan'er, Biying, and Danxia stood in front of a tall mansion. The maid knocked on the door, and the people in the courtyard heard that the master was back, and they all stood in front of the door and greeted them with low eyebrows. Deng Zixuan arranged in his heart: It seems that Shopkeeper Shen is very good at doing things, not only does he personally buy the house, but the people in the courtyard are all hired. Wan'er didn't expect that there was such a haode house in the city, Bi Ying and Danxia were even more happy, and pulled Wan'er to look around.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Deng Zixuan and Wan'er came to the riverside wharf. There is occasionally a small courtyard on the pier, and there is a plaque of Jardine Tongda freight in front of the door. Before Deng Zixuan entered the courtyard, Lin Haisheng, Chen Fugui and others came out to greet them. "Mr. Deng, my subordinates are waiting, we have been looking forward to you for a long time!" Lin Haisheng shook his head. "Mr. Deng, I heard that you got married, and your subordinates did not go to congratulate you, please forgive me!" Chen Fugui also bowed his head.
"Come, let me introduce you, this is my wife Wan'er!" Deng Zixuan said politely. Wan'er was just about to salute, but Cheng wanted Lin Haisheng, Chen Fugui and others to kneel down and shout: "The master mother is above, please accept the villain's worship!" Say hello to the mistress! Seeing this scene, Wan'er was startled and said: "Such a big gift slave family is frightened, everyone, please get up!" "Thanks! Mother of the House! Wan'er looked at Deng Zixuan in surprise with a confused expression. Deng Zixuan smiled mysteriously and took the lead to walk inside.
After entering the house, the guests and hosts sat down, and Lin Haisheng said: "Mr. Deng, we already have 4 boats now, and we have gone to Guangzhou to lie down." The Pudong trading market is very prosperous, and the merchants from Guangdong have signed contracts with us to request the delivery of goods, and the buying and selling haode is surprising. We're setting sail today, and I didn't expect you to come. Chen Fugui interjected: "Mr. Deng, now we have bought another boat, and after removing the salary, the net remaining silver is 2,000 taels, and Deng Gongzi will hand it over to you." ”
Deng Zixuan waved his hand and said: "I said that I don't want your money within 5 years, and the top priority is to expand the fleet." You have to keep buying cargo ships, the more the merrier, you know? "Mr. Deng, this ・・・・・・" Chen Fugui was a little flustered. Lin Haisheng! "The subordinates are here!" Deng Zixuan said with a tiger face: "At present, your business is on the right track, so you don't want to go to the sea, but sit in Shanghai." I'm going to see my fleet grow day by day, you know? "Subordinates understand, don't worry, Gongzi Deng!" Lin Haisheng was overjoyed.
Then Deng Zixuan took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Chen Fugui and said, "Brother Chen, after arriving in Guangzhou this time, I will hand over the letters to Pei Gejin and Qin Fan respectively. Remember that these two letters cannot be lost, and if something unexpected happens, destroy the letters immediately, understand? "Sir, don't worry, even if the little old man loses his life, he won't lose his letter."
At the time of parting, Deng Zixuan said to Lin Haisheng: "Brother Lin, you are in Shanghai, if you find that young and strong sailors are recruited together, the fleet will gradually expand, we must reserve talents, don't wait until we have a ship to recruit people, we will be caught off guard." "Mr. Deng, I remember your words!" Lin Haisheng patted his chest and promised.
Deng Zixuan gave another advice, and then took the ferry to the Pudong trading market. The ferry boat is a small steamer going upstream, and Deng Zixuan stands on the bow of the boat to watch the scenery. The scene just now confused Wan'er, and this kung fu Wan'er whispered: "Husband, what's going on with this freight company?" Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "Lady, don't hide it, this cargo fleet is mine, and they are all my people!" "Husband, when did you get a fleet?" Wan'er hardly believed it. "Uncle has a lot of money, and it's so deep!" "Uncle, this is a big surprise for Miss!" Biying, Danxia rejoiced.
"Lady, I have to thank you for all this, if it wasn't for your jewelry, it would not have all this, the lady is so polite!" Deng Zixuan bowed. Wan'er was a little flustered and said, "It turns out that you took the silver to do business!" "I'm both studying and doing business, who made your husband talented!" Seeing her husband shaking her head, Wan'er laughed. Deng Zixuan stretched out his hand to take Wan'er into his arms, Wan'er was startled and tried to struggle, but Deng Zixuan hugged her.
The river breeze blew in his face, and Deng Zixuan said affectionately: "Lady, I said that you and I will never be separated, no matter where I go, I will let you accompany you, and I will do what I say." Wan'er's eyes moistened when she heard this, and she gently rested her head on her husband's shoulder, and closed her eyes happily. Biying and Danxia were also greatly moved when they heard this, and their eyes were moist.
In this era, it is simply a reversal for a man to take care of a woman to such an extent. Therefore, it is reasonable that Wan'er and the maid often burst into tears with excitement, after all, the status of women in this era is too low, and as a brilliant social environment for men to give a little smile to women, Deng Zixuan has undoubtedly done too well.
