Chapter 625: Harmony
Wen only slept for more than an hour before waking up automatically.
Xie Mulin felt that she was obviously still very tired, and persuaded her to sleep a little longer, but she said: "I can only stay in the capital for less than a day, where can I have so much time to sleep?" They are coming over in a while, how can I keep them waiting? Anyway, Ming'er got on the boat, and I had time to rest. He immediately ordered Sister Shan to wait for her to freshen up. Xie Mulin had no choice, so he had to personally cook a bowl of Jianlian red date soup with the effect of replenishing qi and calming the nerves, and served Wen's to drink.
The shopkeeper Mao came near evening. He also brought seven or eight old shopkeepers and old men who had served in the Xie family's firm for many years. Most of these people are not in good spirits, but they have greatly improved compared to when they first returned to Xie's house. Originally, they were sick or injured, and almost all of them couldn't get out of bed. After Xie Mulin and Shopkeeper Mao asked Old Man Yan from Beimen Bridge to help diagnose and recuperate, they have almost recovered their vitality, they can act independently, and there is no obstacle to talking, and they only need to continue to recuperate for a while.
In the past, when the Xie family had not yet had an accident, these old shopkeepers and old men would go to the proprietor's house to greet the New Year every Chinese New Year. When Wen was not married, he met them with Mrs. Xie; After getting married, whenever someone goes to the Xie Mansion in the capital to ask for peace, they must also come to see her, but it was the Cao family, who held the power of Zhongfeng at that time, because of Xie Pu's vigilance, may not be able to have the same treatment. Therefore, the Wen family is very familiar with these Xie family deceased, and even remembers their respective families, relatives and friends, remembering whose children are about to become biological children, and whose grandchildren are at the age of reading and talking about relatives.
These old shopkeepers and old fellows listened to Wen's kind greetings, and they couldn't help but have red circles in their eyes when they thought of the old days.
How beautiful the past days were, if it weren't for the Cao family, how could they suffer so much? Fortunately, now that they have managed to escape, they no longer have to be trampled on by such powerful people. In the future, whether it is to stay in my hometown for the elderly, or go north to Beiping, and continue to do things for the owner, it is excellent. Anyway, in the realm of the capital, they will never set foot in again!
Wen knew that these old people had suffered a lot, and they were afraid that they had suffered much more sins than the group of people who had returned to Huyin a few days ago, so they could only comfort each other softly and comfort them as much as possible. Xie Mulin and Shopkeeper Mao have also been helping out. However, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui, considering that they still have half of the Cao family's bloodline, are embarrassed to come to see them.
In the end, it was the eldest old shopkeeper who took the initiative to talk about it: "Why don't you see the eldest young master and eldest lady?" Listening to Brother Mao, the eldest young master and the eldest lady always feel that they are the grandsons of the Cao family, and they can't live with us, so they don't want to come to see each other, but? We were able to get out safely, thanks to the efforts of the eldest young master and eldest lady. The eldest lady was even injured. We are not ignorant people, even if we were confused for a while and had a little misunderstanding of the two small owners, we have already figured it out now. The Cao family is ruthless, and even their own flesh and blood are abandoned, what is the difference between the eldest young master and the eldest lady and us? They are both fallen people at the end of the world, and the eldest young master and eldest lady are both children of the owner, so why should they be separated from us? ”
Wen was very moved when he heard this: "The two children are also afraid that you will be unhappy when you see them, so they will take the initiative to avoid them." Since you don't mean to blame, our family naturally wants to be reunited together. ”
Xie Mulin immediately turned around and invited his eldest brother and sister over.
Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui were both a little at a loss. Although they had participated in the operation to save these old members of the Xie family, they had really never seen them. At this time, the two sides were facing each other, and they were both a little at a loss.
So several shrewd and sleek old shopkeepers took the initiative to praise Xie Xianzhi, saying that he has a good demeanor and is said to be knowledgeable. He also praised Yinghui for her excellent appearance and elegant manners, she is really a beautiful girl, and I don't know who will be blessed to marry in the future, Yunyun.
Several old people coaxed Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui, the two young people, were red-faced, but they all showed sincere smiles on their faces, and they soon became happy.
For dinner, everyone also ate together in the main hall of the Xie family's mansion, and sat at several tables, but they all talked and laughed, and the dishes were well cooked, even if there was no wine, it was enough to make everyone happy and drunk.
After the meal, the shopkeeper Mao led everyone to formally bid farewell to the Wen family again, and asked the Wen family to bring their letters and gifts to Xie Pu before leaving. Before leaving, Shopkeeper Mao also told Xie Mulin, Xie Xianzhi and Xie Yinghui about the scheduled boat schedule to return to Huyin County, and made an appointment for the time and place of the rendezvous.
After sending the people away, Wen sat in the hall, still a little sad. She found that there were a few old shopkeepers who were very familiar with each other, and their faces and spirits were much older than last year and the year before last, so it can be seen that after the Xie family's accident, they had to switch to the Cao family, but they were not doing well at all. The Cao family snatched people away, and they didn't treat talents well, what were they thinking?!
These old shopkeepers used to earn at least 10,000 taels of silver for the Xie family every year, and they had nothing to say about their talent or experience. If the Cao family can get their help, they can earn 180,000 yuan a year, why worry about not having money?
The Wen family now finally understands why the Cao family swallows a lot of silver from the Xie family every year and fattens their own mother's family, and the Pingnan Bo Mansion and the Chengenhou Mansion always feel that there is little money, so they can only dig silver from the Xie family, but they can't make money on their own. The Cao family is that kind of style, where is the family who knows how to operate? Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, in their hands, there will only be one day to sit and eat the empty mountains. What if they swallowed the Xie family's estate? Xie Pu is still here, and he has started business again in less than a year, and after more than ten years, he will be able to accumulate a net worth of one million. But the Cao family, who swallowed the Xie family's industry, did they make a fortune?
She used this incident to educate her three children: "In the future, when you become a family, you must keep this lesson in mind." If you don't know how to do business, and you don't know how to make good use of it, no matter how much wealth you have, you can only sit and eat nothing, which is definitely not a long-term plan. ”
Xie Xianzhi was thoughtful, but Xie Yinghui sneered: "The masters of the Cao family may not know how to run the industry, but they don't know how to do business, and they feel that their henchmen are more reliable than any outsider, so they only use the people around them to manage the industry." In fact? Those subordinates will only enrich their own pockets. What do they know other than flattering and currying favor with their masters and stealing money for themselves? The Cao family gave their own silver to their subordinates, and they still felt that they were very shrewd! Such a person will be defeated sooner or later! ”
She was angry for a while, but after Wen heard it, she said to her: "Sister Hui, since you understand this truth, you must learn a lesson in the future." I can't stay with you this time, but there are still many elders in the clan. I'll let my real sister take the palm of your hand, and you can simply follow along. I know you've been pampered in the past, and you must have paid little attention to these trifles. But how can a girl not learn to be a housekeeper? If you don't learn at home and don't understand anything, if you get married in the future, you will definitely suffer the loss of your in-laws. Therefore, you first see how Sister Zhen settles accounts, and then go to the clan study for two years, and you can also go to the sect room to ask the two aunts for advice on weekdays. With their teachings, you will be able to cope with it as a clan wife in the future. ”
Xie Yinghui was stunned, looked at Wen very solemnly, and then bit her lip, turned her head away with red circles, and whispered, "I know." ”
