Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
It was not until April when the weather was getting hotter and hotter that Yan Yunge returned to the capital.
After walking around the market, the biggest feeling is that the people in the market are obviously more economical than before, and everyone is in a hurry, with a little bitterness on their faces.
Yan Mu told her, "The business of chop soup is obviously not as good as the business at this time last year. Everyone uses money more than before. It's not easy to find work, and the dock carries a lot of bags, and I heard that the daily work is less than in previous years. ”
Yan Yunge nodded and said, "There are some sections of the river that have been cut off, and the freight at the wharf is not as good as in previous years, so it is a matter of course. What about land freight? ”
The reduction in water transport can also be said to be due to drought, because of force majeure.
If land transport is also reduced, the problem is more serious.
Yan Mu shook his head, also worried, "The coolies over there also said that business is not good this year. A lot of people didn't work. When there is goods coming, everyone has to grab them, and if you don't grab them, you won't have a chance, and you won't be able to make money. In order to grab the goods, the price of coolies has fallen. ”
Yan Yunge frowned, and she said to Yan Mu: "The business will be reduced by three percent first, get through this period of time first, and then see the situation." ”
When Yan Mu heard this, he began to worry, and cautiously reminded, "Girl, if the business is reduced by three percent, there will not be so many people in the shop." Is it going to lay off people next? At this time, layoffs will result in nine or eight out of ten people who will not be able to find work. The whole family lives on this job......"
"Don't lay off people yet!"
Yan Yunge glanced at Yan Mu and quipped, "You are kind-hearted." ”
Yan Mu smiled embarrassedly, "It's not easy for everyone, it's not easy for everyone to work alone to feed a large family, and it looks strange and pitiful." And after getting along for a long time, they also have feelings, and I can't see them cut off their lives. ”
Yan Yunge knew in his heart that managers couldn't be too ruthless or too conscientious.
She said to Yan Mu: "I said ugly things ahead, if the drought continues this year and the business gets worse and worse, then the salary will be cut if there are no layoffs." Whether it will be reduced by 3 percent or 50 percent depends on the specific situation. ”
Yan Mu hurriedly responded, "Don't worry, girl, the little one knows the measure." I will make it clear to everyone that if you are willing to accept a pay cut, you will stay. If you don't want to, you leave on your own and find another way out. ”
Yan Yunge reminded him: "If you can't be ruthless, let Ji Ping come forward." ”
Ji Ping, the former shopkeeper of the No. 1 shop of the North and South Chop Soup, has been promoted to the deputy manager of the North and South Chop Soup.
Don't look at Ji Ping's smile all day long, looking like he is kind and making money, but this guy can be ruthless at a critical moment, and he can be regarded as half a ruthless person.
Yan Mu is kind-hearted, sometimes he can't be ruthless, so he has to rely on ruthless people like Ji Ping to help.
……
Yan Yunge returned to the county lord's mansion, the wind and waves in the house were calm, and the years were quiet.
Drought or flooding will not affect the rhythm of life in the county governor's office.
Being in the garden of the county lord's mansion, sitting in the gazebo fishing, I couldn't imagine what the drought had become outside.
In some places where the terrain is relatively high and the water source is insufficient, it is already difficult for people and livestock to drink water.
It is difficult for people and animals to drink water, and it is conceivable that there is no need to count on water for farming, and the fields are afraid that they will have dried up.
If the drought continues, these people will be among the first to leave their homes to flee the famine.
The drought lasted for half a year, and when the time came, the Gyeonggi area was full of displaced people.
Droughts are often a greater threat to survival than floods.
Drought is really no food or drink, and people will starve to death and die of thirst.
Floods are generally short-lived, and as soon as the rain stops, the flood waters recede quickly. The biggest harm is that after the rain, it is easy to develop epidemics.
Droughts, many times, last for more than half a year and for three or five years.
But there were no floods that lasted for three or five years.
Yan Yunge raised his head and looked at the hot sky, it was not a good omen.
It's not a good thing to have a sunny day every day.
She was not in good shape today, and she only caught a small crucian carp that weighed three or two.
Unhooked the fish, and threw the small fish back into the pond.
Then, she put away her fishing rod and planned to call it a day.
Ah Bei was a little worried, "Isn't the girl fishing today?" ”
Yan Yunge nodded, "It's all a bunch of stupid fish, it's boring." Go fishing in the wild. ”
Pack up and go to say goodbye to my mother, Xiao.
……
Xiao Shi looked at her while drinking tea, and stopped talking several times.
Yan Yunge said: "If there is something wrong with my mother, why don't you just say it?" ”
Xiao Shi smiled, "I have something to tell you here, I don't know if you are happy or angry." ”
Hearing this, Yan Yunge suddenly became interested.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Shi put down the teacup, pondered for a while, and then said: "A few days ago, you were not at home, and Shuwen came to visit me. I mentioned your marriage to him......"
"Huh?"
Yan Yunge looked confused.
Xiao Shi laughed, "What are you doing so nervously, listen to me." I mentioned the marriage of the Lees, guess what he said? ”
Yan Yunge shook his head and didn't take this stubble.
It's nothing more than agreeing, or refusing.
Xiao said: "You must not have imagined that he actually refused. ”
Oh!
Yan Yunge secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't you wonder why he refused?" Xiao asked with a smile.
Yan Yunge said: "It's nothing more than that the door is not right. ”
Xiao nodded, "It is for this reason that he refused." But he didn't reject you, and you can see that he seems to be attracted to you. He said that now he is just a student of Taixue, and he will not be famous if he is not famous, and he does not dare to set up a family affair, for fear of misleading your future. If in the future, he can go smoothly and do a little something, if you are not married, he will come to the door to propose. ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Yan Yunge coughed repeatedly.
Xiao Shi teased her: "Look at your excited appearance, as for it?" He's kind of sincere to you, so you can steal the fun! ”
Yan Yunge pointed to his face with a bitter expression, "Mother, do you look like I'm excited?" ”
She's obviously very hard, okay?
Xiao laughed, looking at the girl's joke, she seemed to be very happy.
She said: "He is also a caring person, and he doesn't want to delay you, so he refuses to get married." What about you, what do you think? Last year, you promised me that you would give me an answer this year. ”
Yan Yunge said with a straight face: "My daughter really doesn't want to get married. ”
This is her sincere words, and there is no lie.
Xiao Shi said with a smile: "I knew you would say that." There are so many young talents in the capital, I think it seems that the book is the most suitable for you. He is a gentleman, and if you marry him, you will be able to live in harmony after marriage. ”
Yan Yunge waved his hand again and again, "Since he has refused, my mother will not pull Lang again." Your daughter and I can't get married, it's not that he has to be. If I want to marry, there are a lot of candidates. ”
"Then tell me, who are the candidates in your mouth?" Xiao Shi seemed to be smiling, wanting to see her laugh.
Yan Yunge: "......"
She dug a hole for herself, so miserable!
"What does Mother want to eat today? I see that there are chickens and ducks in the kitchen, so it is better to cook a chicken soup. ”
She decisively changed the subject, and got up and walked out.
She's going to the kitchen to cook, she's busy.
What kind of marriage, marriage, I don't have time to care!
Smoothly escaped, Yan Yunge laughed.
Xiao couldn't help laughing, this child, tell her to say something.
The confidant mother teased: "The four girls are small and shy, so don't worry." Fate has arrived, and it can't be stopped. ”
Xiao Shi nodded, "Yun Ge, this kid, is just too assertive. If I don't think about it for her, I'm afraid she'll keep stumbling. Let's just talk about fate, it's not like you can have it if you want to. Shen Shuwen is good everywhere, and the only bad thing is that his family is in the middle. ”
She sighed, feeling regretful in her heart.
The henchman persuaded her: "Niangniang doesn't have to sigh. After finishing the marriage of the second son, it is not too late to take care of the marriage of the fourth girl. Besides, there is a third girl in front of her who has not married, and the marriage of the fourth girl is not in a hurry. ”
"You're right. Yan Yunzhi has not yet married, and it is not Yunge's turn for the time being. ”
……
Yan Yunzhi was married last year, and the wedding date is scheduled for the second half of this year.
Mrs. Chen wanted to prepare more dowry for Yan Yunzhi, so she specially asked to set the wedding date a little later.
She wrote a letter to her eldest son Yan Yunquan and asked Yan Yunquan if she could go home and send her sister Yan Yunzhi to get married.
Yan Yunquan received the letter and was very embarrassed.
He is now an official, and he can't leave Beijing without a purpose.
asked him to take a leave of absence just to go back to his sister's wedding, which he was not so willing.
He discussed with Master Wang, "How does Mr. think I should reply to the letter?" ”
Master Wang stroked his beard, "The son is busy with official business and can't get out, and Mrs. Wang must be able to understand." ”
Yan Yunquan felt that this reason was not enough, but he couldn't think of a better reason, so he could only adopt Master Wang's suggestion.
"Mr. is brilliantly written, it is better for Mr. to write a letter for me, and I will copy it again."
Master Wang happily agreed, picked up the pen, and wrote a book.
A sincere, sincere, and regretful letter was written.
Yan Yunquan was very satisfied after reading the content.
I think that my mother will understand his difficulties after reading this letter.
He copied it, put it in an envelope, sealed it, and gave it to the butler to send out.
Master Wang didn't forget to remind him, "It's time to hurry up the marriage of the son." ”
Yan Yunquan's heart was hot, "This matter still has to wait for my father's reply." I don't know how my father and the Ling family discussed it? ”
……
Thousands of miles away, Upper Valley County.
Yan Yunquan received a reply from the Ling family.
After reading the content of the letter, he smiled coldly, "Selling fame and reputation, one set in front of you and one thing in your back." I want to be a female cousin and want to set up a memorial arch! This Ling family is indeed very shameless. ”
Mr. Du picked up the letter and flipped through it.
The Ling family's reply was very subtle.
Ordinary people really can't understand the twists and turns inside.
To sum up, if Yan Yunpei is gone, the Ling family is willing to continue to marry the Yan family, and choose a daughter to marry Yan Yunquan.
However, the Ling family never did anything that violated their conscience.
Yan Yunpei is also her own daughter-in-law, her life, the Ling family can't be the master, the Yan family has to be the master.
The implication is that Yan Shouzhan wants to give a handle to the Ling family, and the Ling family is willing to marry a daughter.
Yan Shouzhan sneered and dreamed of his spring and autumn season.
