Wei Zan laughed softly.

"Most of the sons and ladies of the family are supported by the clan before they are minors. But a family has many children, and it can't sit back and eat, so they will have their own industry when they become adults. At the end of the year, each property will hand over a certain amount of money to the clan for public use. This part of the money is used to raise the children of the clan who are not yet minors. ”

Wei Jin nodded, this was equivalent to a family fund, and she could understand that this was a means for the big family to operate. But it has nothing to do with her.

"Naturally, I have my own industry. But I'm ashamed to say that my property doesn't make much money. ”

Wei Jin's mouth was curled, and his eyes carried a hint of disgust.

If she had a background like Wei Zhan, she would have made a lot of money a long time ago, where would she be as bitter as she is now.

Wei Zan rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled slightly awkwardly.

"I hadn't thought much about this before, and I didn't have a female dependent to help take care of it at home, so I realized that I needed money everywhere."

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic needs of people's livelihood.

Although the dyeing workshop relies on "clothes", not all people like dyed cloth, and the poor can be satisfied with a linen cloth.

But rich people are different, if you want to dress differently from others, that is the embodiment of your status and ability. All big families will build their own dyeing workshops, and even the dye ratio is a secret recipe that can be passed on.

The conditions given by Wei Zan are quite generous, but the requirement is that after this secret recipe is handed over to him, it cannot be sold to others, and even her own cannot use it casually.

Wei Jin was a little unhappy at first, and then thought about it, dye is difficult to say, but it is actually very simple to say simple. Although she didn't come from a chemistry background, she still knew basic chemistry after almost 20 years of study. In particular, she learned to make pigments from the elders in the family, and the difference between the two is not too big.

That's right, compared to dyes, Wei Jin's best skill should be the production of Chinese painting pigments. Especially the handmade paints, she specially studied with a teacher.

Listening to Wei Zhan's conditions, she was a little moved, but she had never tried to do it when she came here, and she was not sure that she would succeed. Taking advantage of the fact that she didn't have much to live during this time of year, she planned to give it a try.

I opened a list of more than 20 kinds of ores and rocks, and more than 10 kinds of plant pigments. These are all available on the market, and they are truly unique, and you have to find stones for reprocessing.

In addition to these, two or three sets of grinding tools and basic measuring tools equipped with dyes are required.

This expenditure is not small, and hundreds of taels of silver are spent scattered.

Among them, the gauge and the three ores are the most expensive, accounting for more than half of the expenditure.

Even a family like Wei Zan felt a little painful.

While Wei Zan asked people to buy the items on the list, Wei Jin went to the town to buy a few coarse cloth clothes as work clothes.

When she went to buy Ge Yi, the proprietress of the cloth shop was surprised, thinking that something had happened to her family, and she couldn't even afford to buy good clothes, for fear that Wei Jin would sell Sihuaer for a living, so she didn't hide her anxiety in her speech.

"It's just workmanship and wear. I want to try to make some things, my usual clothes are easy to be damaged, and although Ge Yi is uncomfortable to wear, it is wearable and dirty. ”

explained lightly, and under the worried eyes of the proprietress, she went out with her clothes in her arms, and then couldn't help but want to laugh.

While she was preparing these things, there was a lot of noise in the Zhennan Mansion thousands of miles away.

It is a big deal for the little grandfather to be recovered, but as soon as the little grandfather with a big change in temperament came back, he directly asked people to put the grandfather under house arrest, which made the old people in Zhennan Mansion a little unacceptable.

"Your Su family's hand is also stretched too long, and the little grandfather is not from your Su family."

The white-bearded old man craned his neck at Su Qi, who didn't even bother to give him a look.

Sima Ji sat in the main room, facing his father, who didn't want a son if he had a new wife.

The old man has aged a lot during this time, obviously less than forty, but he looks like a half-hundred old man, and his whole spirit is gone.

He looked at his son and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. There are regrets, there are regrets, but there is no love for my son.

Sima Ji doesn't need his love to let him live, it's just that he is his father, that's all.

"Your stepmother did something wrong, but your brother is related to you after all, so you can't let him go?"

"When he poisoned me, did you tell him that I was his brother and let him let me go?"

The old man twitched and closed his eyes heavily.

At first, he didn't know about it, but later the eldest son's health deteriorated, and so many doctors were invited to see it, it was impossible that no one really found out that something was wrong, however, he finally chose a new wife and young son.

"Don't worry, I will leave him a whole corpse, and I will let him walk without illness and pain, and I will not let him suffer what I have suffered."

The old man wanted to open his mouth to scold his son, but when he opened his eyes and saw the thin and sickly face of his eldest son, he still couldn't spit out the two words.

"Treason is a great crime, and my father wants to fight with them? If my father insists on doing so, I am not unwilling to fulfill the father-son relationship between your husband and wife. ”

The old man was so angry that his hands clenched into fists under the case, but that's all. Let him say that it is impossible for him to die with the mother and son, he still wants to live, and maybe one day he can find an opportunity to bring down the Su family and raise his prestige as a dignified Nangong.

Almost angry with his father, Sima Ji straightened his sleeves and got up to go out.

The old man standing in the courtyard was his father's confidant.

"Little grandfather, if you treat your grandfather like this, it is disobedience and unfilial piety!"

"How's that going? Am I supposed to die? In that case, you are a servant, I am the Lord, and I will let you die, will you go? ”

The old man was stunned, his face was flushed, and he was so angry that he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

"It's better to die than to live, since I don't want to die, then they are the ones who die. When I was suffering, why didn't I see you so indignant? Looks like you're in touch with them? ”

Sima Ji narrowed his eyes and stared at the old man: "Su Qi, find someone to check, check everyone inside and outside his family, and see if it has anything to do with that traitor." By the way, two years earlier, he went to Yongzhou as an eldest child, and let people go over to take a look, but don't let people sell Yongzhou too. ”

After saying this, the old man was so angry that he almost fell down, calling himself wronged, and said that Sima Ji was a son of man in vain, killing his mother and imprisoning his father, and he wanted to face the saint and beg His Majesty to be the master.

"Killing mothers? What kind of mother is she? Since you're going to face the saint, that's fine. Su Qi, find someone to send him to the imperial capital. Certainly, let him see His Majesty, so that he will be brave and faithful. ”

Su Qi hooked the corners of his mouth and raised his eyebrows: "No problem, I will definitely send the most powerful soldiers to send him over, and no one along the way can stop him from going to face the saint." ”

The words of the master and servant made the old man's face as white as gold paper in an instant, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and the wind was about to fall.
