Zeng Zigu actually thought about these things, only the family wealth was earned back by Banniang, she has enough say in how to distribute the property, although she is the elder brother, she can't replace Banniang in charge.

Now that Banniang has considered it and thought very thoughtfully, what else does he have to say? If you really want to talk about it, even if you don't take out a cent of the money earned by Banniang and distribute it, even if the third uncle and the fifth uncle are uncomfortable, they will definitely not say anything. It's just that in this way, the family will inevitably be separated from morality, which is a situation that no one wants to see.

Zeng Zigu rubbed Banniang's head lovingly, and sighed with a smile: "Brother also thinks it's very good, you think very thoughtfully." ”

"My brother thinks it's okay. When I make more money in the future, I will add it again, and we may not be able to take care of other people's families, but our one, the cost of children's education in the future can be used in the public middle school. Besides, we are running a school house now, with paper, pen, book, ink, and the cost of inviting a gentleman, which can always be afforded. I also heard the second brother mention the establishment of Yizhuang by Fan Xiwen in the past, although we can't do that step, but we can always solve the problem of children's study, as well as the livelihood of young children and lonely old people. When the time comes, when the sacrificial field is bought, I will ask my father, the third uncle and the fifth uncle, and also take out a charter, and then ask the patriarch to be a witness. There are many of us who don't have the strength to take care of all of them now, and those within five suits can always be taken care of, my brother thinks this is good? ”

The reason why Banniang said this is not because she is determined to be a bad person, let alone because she is a virgin.

No matter which family, no matter how good the style is, it is impossible to guarantee that everyone is a selfless and good person.

Today's Zeng family and their family are not what they used to be, although they are far worse than those real big businessmen, but there is no doubt that the standard of living is far beyond that of Nanfeng, Nancheng, and the Zeng family in Linchuan. In the past, when their house was so poor, there were still people who were jealous of the second brother's talent and reputation, and ruined the reputation of the second brother everywhere, not to mention now.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves. If the Zeng family only cares about making a fortune in a muffled voice, and completely ignores the life and death of the same clan and branch, it will obviously cause public anger. This is an era where family interests are particularly important, and it is impossible to be alone.

The money is Banniang's own hard-earned back, what do she do for her parents, brothers, and sisters, she is willing to help people who are worth helping, as long as she is within her ability, she has nothing to say, but there are lazy people everywhere in this world, and these people are the most bad-hearted, that is, to pour some sewage on you, can you splash it back?

Saying that those who are clear are self-purifying and those who are turbid are self-turbid, that is all nonsense. Turbidity takes time to verify. Not everyone can afford to spend that time.

Rumors and slander are the most terrible things in the world, because they kill people invisibly, and they make you unguardable.

And his own fathers and brothers will all follow the same career path in the future. It's the reputation that counts. Banniang doesn't mind taking money to buy some political capital for them.

That's why she built an orphanage, set up a shed to help porridge during the New Year, and supported poor students through the county lady.

Despite this, there are still people secretly muttering that the little Banniang of the Zeng family is willing to spend money on irrelevant celebrities, but they don't know how to take care of the people of the same clan. There were some words that she didn't hear.

Therefore, she has been thinking about the establishment of the festival for a long time. When her grandmother was alive, Banniang had mentioned it privately to her grandmother. My grandmother also felt that if she could really do it, it would be a good thing, firstly, she could really help her clansmen, and secondly, she could also gain a good reputation for the future careers of her father and brothers.

What's more, they are the famous autumn rain family of the Zeng family, and a good reputation is especially important to their family.

In fact, Banniang is not all father and brother, at the same time, it is also for herself.

Although the women of the Great Song Kingdom were far more free to act than in later eras, and had the right to education and work, it was only for ordinary people.

She can't stay in this Nanfeng City forever, and she can't just do such a little business, even if she wants to retreat behind the scenes in the future, at least everything now needs her to work hard.

Even if a man is unrighteous in a layman's business, how much more is she a woman?

She believes that as her business grows bigger and bigger, she earns more and more wealth, and there will be more and more praise and criticism against her in the future.

Not to mention this, it is the previous life in which she lived, if a woman created a career by herself, there would be all kinds of discussions.

She once had a female friend who created a foundation with her bare hands, and the result was all kinds of rumors in the market, there is a way that she sold her hue to get the first pot of gold, and there is a way that she did the popular second wife profession, in short, a woman does things, in that era there are still all kinds of obstacles, let alone present?

The reason why Banniang admired that friend was because she couldn't help but complain for her once, but the friend himself didn't care, and said with a smile: "Although the rumors hurt people, it's good that I don't care, no matter how many stories in the market, can I now drive a famous car and live in a house?" You have something that others can't have, and you don't want people to complain? ”

The difference is that that friend can not care, she lives in this era, not only on behalf of herself, but she can't help but care.

She does charity, helping others is one thing, and helping others is also one thing.

Although she can't be affirmed and liked by everyone like gold and silver, people will always be more tolerant and understanding of the words and deeds of people who have become moral benchmarks, and more accepting and recognizing. On her way to the pinnacle of her kingdom, she hopes to also gain the same good name that is most valued by the people of her time.

She didn't want the day when what she said and did, as well as the achievements she had made with her hard work, would become a burden to her family and bring shame on her family.

As soon as Banniang talked about the establishment of Yizhuang, Zeng Zigu also understood her true purpose.

I can't help but feel sorry for Banniang: "You girl, divide the property, set up a righteous village, and you have thought of everything." If you have anything in the future, just tell the second brother, don't think about it alone. I am your brother, and some of the responsibilities that I should bear as a brother. Because of you, my eldest brother and I are still there, and when I enter them, I can devote myself to studying. But we are comfortable, but we are bitter for you. Seeing that you have turned over the year, you are also fifteen, and you will not be able to stay at home for a few years in the future, in the past, our family was poor, and you were not asked to live a life of fine clothes and food, but now the money is earned back by you, so that you are busy all day long like this. There is no shortage of money, but it doesn't let you live the life of other people's girls. It's the brothers who are sorry for you. ”

Banniang smiled brightly and leaned on Zeng Zigu's arm: "Second brother, don't say that, Shan'er knows that you all love me." I do this not only to make money, but also because I like to do business, and my brother knows that. My brother can see when I feel so hard? Or are you unhappy when you see me? I was happy to see that the family was doing well. Besides, if it weren't for the open-mindedness of my father and brothers, I wouldn't be able to do this business, and what family's daughter, like me, can show up all day long, and be free to see the outside world? I feel happy to have your brother pampering me like this. ”

After talking like this for a while, Banniang saw that the sky was dark, so she got up and helped Zeng Zigu hold the lamp, and said: "By the way, I brought a lot of candles back this time, and I will bring them to my father and uncle, as well as for you to read at night." Using an oil lamp is not good for the eyes, especially the father and the third uncle, who are old and hurt their eyes very much. ”

"Spending money again." Zeng Zigu scolded with a smile.

"Isn't making money just to spend it? We don't deserve the miser. ”

As he spoke, Zeng Zigu remembered that there were still letters to Banniang, so he hurriedly opened the cupboard again, took two letters, and handed them to Banniang with a calm face: "There are still two letters here." It's for you too. ”

Banniang looked at the envelope and couldn't help but beat faster.

It's that his face is hot. I was afraid that Zeng Zigu would be suspicious, so I hurriedly lowered my head, pretended to be inadvertent, picked one of them and opened it, took out the letterhead, pretended to glance at it a few times, and handed it to Zeng Zigu, and said with a smile: "It's Chai Nineteen's letter, but I didn't say anything, I just said hello, and mentioned the matter of my grandmother's hundred years, saying that he was leaving Beijing to do business at the time, and he didn't get the news, so he persuaded me to be in decline, and I also asked the second brother how to go, and the second brother took a look." ”

Chai 19 always sent letters and gifts during the New Year's Festival, and in the past two years, every year, the Zeng family is also used to it.

Zeng Zigu glanced at it and saw that it was indeed nothing, and the letter was all those words that Banniang said.

It's just that this girl's face is really strange.

Banniang was also embarrassed, another letter, knowing that there would be nothing in the letter, but that letter, she was unwilling to open it in front of her second brother.

It seems that the letter itself is her own secret.

If you don't dismantle it, the second brother will inevitably be suspicious.

I was embarrassed, so I heard May say outside: "Second son, eighth miss, Mrs. sent a slave to invite the two of you to have dinner in the main courtyard." ”

Banniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, packed the two opened letters, and put the unopened ones into her sleeves.

The brother and sister went out, and Shiro and the others poured out of the study.

I heard Gorou smile and said: "Eighth sister, I know that you and the second brother are talking, why are you only close to the second brother, and when you come back, you ignore me and ignore us?" Isn't it your brother who is not a few of us? Tell me what good things you brought us back this time? If things are okay and what we want, we'll forgive you. ”

Banniang stepped forward to salute the brothers, and then said with a smile: "Fifth brother, if you do a better job than the second brother one day, I will ignore no one and only recognize you as a brother?" ”

"This girl," Gorou smiled and slapped her on the head, "and learned to step on the bottom." ”

Zeng Ziye coughed and glared at Golang: "The eighth sister is also older, fifth brother, don't reach out and beat her at every turn in the future." ”

Banniang stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Zeng Ziye's arm, and looked at Wulang proudly: "Look, it's still the eldest brother who loves me the most." Even Brother Zifu and them are better than you, except for you, who beats me a few times all day long? When you have a fifth sister-in-law, I will cry with my fifth sister-in-law every day, saying that if you are young, you will see the sky bullying me. Ask my fifth sister-in-law to help me take revenge. ”

When Gorou heard this, he thought about Wu Sanniang in his heart, but his face turned red.

The family also knew about his relationship with the three ladies of the Wu family, and they were going to settle down when they were out of service, and they knew that Wu Sanniang and Banniang had always been good friends, so they couldn't help laughing.

The brother and sister laughed together and went to the main courtyard, and they could be heard laughing from afar.

When I entered the house, I saw that my father and two uncles had already taken their seats, Banniang hurriedly stepped forward to salute the third and fifth uncles, and was busy helping the three sisters-in-law and Qi Niang to put on the dishes and chopsticks, and Zeng did not doubt that "Banniang should also sit down and eat." ”

When the two aunts and the Zhu family also sat down, Banniang sat down in the starting position, and the mothers-in-law also served the meals one by one, and the three daughters-in-law served in the back.

Nowadays, a large family talks about a rule in everything, but it is not as good as before, the family sits down one by one, and eats and chats relaxedly and warmly.

Banniang didn't dare to laugh with her brothers anymore, and honestly answered the questions of her father and two uncles while eating, and talked about going to Quanzhou roughly.

Although she was delayed for a long time to go home, there was no danger in the end, and there was nothing to lose in business, so after dinner, Zhu sent her back to the hospital. Banniang helped her sisters-in-law clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and teased Eleven Niang and Xiao Jianglai for a while, only to pick up Jiang Lai, and heard Jiang Lai cry: "Sister, sister." ”

Although the speech was not very clear, it also made Ba Niangsheng a surprise: "Mother, mother, Xiao Jiang can speak." ”

Xiao Shi Niang taught Shi Niang to know the word card, and said disdainfully: "This is also worth being happy, Xiao Jiang called my sister a few days ago." ”

This ghost girl, whenever she is happy about something, she can't forget to hit her once and pour some cold water on her.

Zhu only looked at Jiang Lai and smiled lovingly, the nurse and aunt Sun had been taking care of Xiao Jianglai, and knew that this child was picked up by Jiang Shang, so he couldn't help but pity her a little more, and after listening to Banniang's words, he said with a smile: "I was able to say a few words half a month ago, but I don't know it very clearly, and it will be better after the month." This kid is smart. ”

After playing in Zhu's house for a while, Banniang led Xiao Shi Niang back to Wei Garden first, and now Shi Niang and Jiang Lai have also moved to Wei Garden, but Xiao Shi is pestering Zhu's family, so the nurse and aunt Sun led Jiang Lai and also accompanied Zhu in the house.

went back to the house, compared Xiao Shi Niang for a while, Qi Niang also went back to the hospital, the two sisters talked for a while, and Qi Niang led Xiao Shi back to sleep in the house of the two of them. Banniang called July and September to come and asked about the things in the woodware shop in the past month.
