"On the second day after the opening of the bank, Hu Dongjia came to the village in person and gave us 12,000 taels of silver, and said that he was either joining the company or wanting to help the farmers." Dou Shaodong's family is insidious, although he didn't explicitly say that the Xu family gave less silver, but he told Hu Dong's family about sending silver, and at the end of the sentence: "Hu Dong's family is not only noble, but also very caring, and it is directly sent with cash, which saves us the trouble of exchanging silver tickets for silver, after all, the farmers want cash." ”

After hearing this, Old Man Xu's face was quite exciting, and he wanted to smile and say something for himself, but he was so angry that he didn't laugh, but he pulled an old face a little hideous.

Xu Zhaoming was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly spoke to his family: "Dou Shaodong's family, our Xu family has many clansmen and relatives, as well as many guys and tenant farmers...... Don't be too little. ”

Old Man Xu was even more angry when he heard this, his precious talent Jin Sun, how could he swallow his anger and talk to Dou Shaodong's family like this?

This Dou Shaodong's family is too bullying, they all give silver, and they have to stab their family, is it interesting?

Interesting.

Dou Shaodong's family has been so busy recently that he almost died suddenly, looking at the accounts every day, his brain is dizzy, and he will feel more happy if he loses a few meals to others.

Gu Jinan shook his head and said to Old Man Xu: "Brother Dou is such a temper, don't care about it." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dou Shaodong's house.

Seeing this, Dou Shaodong's family could only ask Dou Zhi to take a few famous posts to Old Man Xu, and said: "You always take it, you can take the famous post to the Dou family's shop or the local government for help at the critical moment." ”

He has a lot of business in Jiangnan, and all the prefectures and governments in Jiangnan have to sell him some face.

Old Man Xu was excited, took the name card tremblingly, and said, "Dou Shaodong, thank you, old man." ”

and Gu Jinan......

"Brother An, Grandpa Xu, thank you."

If there was no Gu Jin'an, Dou Shaodong's family would not have given the Xu family a name post so easily.

This family affair is really paired, even if the Xu family is only Gu Dexing's father-in-law, Gu Jin'an can take care of it.

Old Man Xu pointed to the two food boxes on the table and said, "I know that you are working hard, so I asked the family to boil some supplements for you, and some delicious pastries, you can eat some and then be busy." ”

Dou Shaodong's family glanced at it and said, "Dou Zhi, take it to the backyard and give it to Brother Xing'er and them to eat." ”

He doesn't eat anything outside, who knows if anyone has ever tampered with it.

Old man Xu is an interesting person, seeing that the matter is over, Dou Shaodong's family did not blame, but said goodbye: "There are many things in the bank, so the old man will not bother Dou Shaodong's family, and will go back first." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of officials came to the gate of Qianzhuang, Luo Wu walked in, and asked Dou Shaodong's house behind the next wing, and went in directly.

After seeing the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xu family, he paused, and did not shy away from it, and said directly: "Dou Shaodong's family, Brother An, Su Tongzhi from Fucheng is here, and the county commander asked you to go to the county government quickly." ”

Dou Shaodong closed his eyes and slapped his head: "Gu Jin'an, what kind of mouth are you, what you just said last night has been fulfilled today, Lao Tzu doesn't want to go to Fucheng!" ”

Gu Jinan said last night that in the near future, the ancient prefect will definitely summon him to Fucheng to discuss the matter of Fucheng's new money village, and when the time comes, the prefects of other Fucheng will definitely come back, and he will not be able to escape this trip.

Old Man Xu's eyes lit up, Su Tongzhi from Fucheng personally came to invite Dou Shaodong's family to Fucheng? The Dou family is worthy of being an imperial businessman, and this face is not ordinary.

Luo Wu didn't care about the reluctance of Dou Shaodong's family, but urged: "Dou Shaodong's family, Brother An, you hurry up and pack up and follow me to the county office." ”

Gu Jinan nodded and said to Dou Shaodong's family: "Brother Dou, let's go." ”

Since you can't hide from it, you can only go to see it in a hurry.

Dou Shaodong's face was very ugly, but he could only nod and follow Luo Wu and them.

Old Man Xu didn't stay long, and left Qianzhuang with him, and after getting into the mule cart, he said to Xu Zhaoming: "After you go back, you go and exchange three thousand taels of silver and send it to Dou Ou Qianzhuang." ”

"Deliver?" Xu Zhaoming frowned and said, "Didn't grandpa say that the world is not good now, and the silver is difficult to earn, so you should keep some silver in case of emergency?" ”

Old Man Xu glared at Xu Zhaoming and said, "You are really stupid at reading, didn't you hear that even Su Tongzhi from Fucheng personally came to invite Dou Shaodong's family?" This surname Dou is not simple, after opening a money village to lend money to farmers, he is no longer a businessman, but a righteous man who is praised, even those literati and maniacs do not dare to scold him for profiteers. ”

"Although silver is difficult to earn, it is difficult to find a capable backer, and our family has finally found it, what are you afraid of if you give up some silver?"

Old Man Xu pinched the famous post given by Dou Shaodong's family and said: "With these famous posts, it will be difficult for those bastards in Fucheng and Jiangnan to suppress our Xu family, and our family can save the filial piety silver given to them, and the 10,000 taels given to Dou Shaodong's family will come back." ”

"Yes, my grandson understands, and I will do it as soon as I go back." Xu Zhaoming replied and asked, "What about the eldest sister's dowry?" Is it still downsized? ”

As soon as the tax matter came out, Old Man Xu knew that Da Chu was going to be in chaos, because he wanted to get stuck in the family's silver, and said that he wanted to reduce Xu Zhong's dowry.

Old man Xu wanted to hit Xu Zhaoming when he heard it: "What is minus?" Your cousin finally has a good home, how can you reduce her dowry? Subtract the family's frequent expenses, as well as the silver taels you go out to socialize, and the dowry silver of the bell girl will not be reduced. ”

Xu Zhong is now the bargaining chip of the Xu family to climb the Gu family, the Ouyang family, the Dou family, and even the Zheng family, how can he treat her badly?

The dowry must be given sufficiently, and Gu Dexing must also be treated well, so that if something really happens to Da Chu in the future, the Xu family can also rely on the Gu family to get a series of protection.

"The fiancé of the second girl of the Gu family is Qin Baihu, Qin Baihu is General Guo's favorite general, and when he made a wedding ceremony with the second girl of the Gu family, even General Guo Xiao came in person...... If Da Chu really has a chance in the future, this person with soldiers in his hands is the real backer. Old man Xu looked at Xu Zhaoming, his old eyes were shining with the light of an old fox, and he told him about this relationship.

Xu Zhaoming was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "It's still grandpa who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Indeed, compared to the guards raised by his own family, the soldiers in Qin Baihu's hands and his relationship with the garrison camp of the Fucheng City are the forces that can truly protect them.

Old man Xu was very relieved to see that his grandson understood, and it was in vain that he took him by his side to teach him for a few months, which finally made him understand the sinister nature of the world, and he was not so naïve and stupid.

However, Old Man Xu still explained to Xu Zhaoming: "Don't rush to send the silver over first, wait first when you are ready, and wait for Dou Shaodong's family and them to return to Qianzhuang, and then you will send it in, be sure to see Dou Shaodong's family and them, and explore the situation in Fucheng." ”

Old fox!

These three words suddenly popped up in Xu Zhaoming's mind, and he felt that this was very disrespectful, so he hurriedly lowered his head and said silently in his heart: Grandpa, I'm sorry.
