"This secret matter is related to the rise and fall of our Huang family."

Master Huang's voice was faint, but there was an indescribable meaning in his words.

Huang Ruiqing was shocked, and was about to ask again, but heard someone outside the door report:

"Master, the second young master and the third young master are here."

Master Huang asked Huang Ruiqing to help himself up and half-lean on the bed.

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and two men in their mid-twenties entered.

"Daddy."

Master Huang squinted and nodded to the two.

"Sit down."

"I called you here today to tell you a secret matter, remember, this matter must not be known to others, including the clansmen or even the people next to the pillow, understand?"

Old Man Huang's tone was extremely serious, and there was no smile on his face, and when he opened his eyes to look at them, everyone could see the cautious look in his eyes.

The three sons, Mr. Huang, sat in front of the bed, with a solemn face, and nodded honestly.

Master Huang sighed, turned his head and leaned back.

"This matter has to start with the beginning of our Huang family."

It turned out that before Huang Jiazu made his career, he was just a small merchant.

The ancestor of the Huang family, called Huang Renhu, spent his days picking up goods and carrying goods from village to village, shaking drums and selling, selling some gadgets such as needles and threads, fat powder, vermilion hairpins, candied fruits and dried fruits, etc., which was not a hardship, but it was really hard.

One day, Huang Renhu was selling in an alley when he was stopped by a middle-aged man in ragged clothes on the side.

"Little brother, you and I are destined, do you want to live a rich life? I'll show you the way. ”

Huang Renhu didn't sell much goods that day, and he was already a little angry in his heart, and when he saw the middle-aged man's tattered appearance, he also stopped himself and said that he wanted to give himself wealth, and his first thought was not to believe it.

"Humph! Knowing the bright road of wealth and nobility, why don't you go by yourself, look at your appearance, you can't even afford to eat, right? ”

Who knows if you're a liar or not.

Huang Renhu didn't say this explicitly, but the suspicion and disdain in his eyes made the middle-aged man see it clearly.

The middle-aged man was not annoyed by him, but said with a smile: "If you are afraid that I will lie to you, then how about I not take your money first?" But if you do as I say and become rich, remember to come to me in the temple of broken Taoism on Luxiang Mountain outside the city, and give me five hundred taels of silver. ”

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man changed his words: "But if you break your promise, you will be punished." ”

Huang Renhu thought to himself that if he didn't give Qian Bai some advice, it didn't matter if it was true or not, so he nodded and agreed to the middle-aged man's request.

"You go to Huaihua Lane in the west of the city, there is an old man there, give him a needle in the Fengchi acupoint, hurry over, don't delay the opportunity."

At the same time, the man also specially told Huang Renhu the location of the Fengchi point and the technique of pricking the needle.

Huang Renhu doesn't know why, you must know that the place of Huaihua Lane is relatively remote, there are few surrounding households, and ordinary people don't go there at all.

But when the middle-aged man said so, he ran quickly to Huaihua Lane with the mentality of being suspicious.

When I arrived at Huaihua Lane, there was really an old man with half a hundred hair, but the old man fainted to the ground for some reason.

Huang Renhu looked at this appearance and thought, didn't that liar cheat me? If this old man has three long and two short, and only I am present, then wouldn't I be yellow mud and crotch, not and?

Huang Renhu secretly scolded the middle-aged man in his heart, but he saw that the old man was still breathing, and the clothes on his body were all of the best materials, thinking that this place was so remote, it was not convenient to find a doctor.

Thinking of the middle-aged man's words to explain himself, thinking about the wealth that might be in his hands, Huang Renhu was ruthless, took out the embroidery needle in the load, burned the tip of the embroidery needle with a fire fold for a while, and then pierced it into the wind pool point on the back of the old man's neck to control the strength.

has already done as the middle-aged man said, and then Huang Renhu can only wait.

Huang Renhu was a little nervous in his heart, and after a while, the old man's eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes.

"Did you save me?"

Although the old man had just woken up, he quickly guessed the truth by looking at the situation in front of him.

"Little brother, thank you, what's your name."

Huang Renhu honestly reported his name.

The old man nodded, and asked him some other homely questions.

Huang Renhu is a merchant who walks the streets and alleys, dealing with all kinds of people, he has long practiced the kung fu of observing words and feelings, and he speaks very appropriately, coaxing the old man to nod again and again.

"Are you tired of carrying such a heavy load of goods all day long?"

Huang Renhu's heart tightened, and he thought, the most critical time has come!

"Hey, what's not tired, eat with a mouthful."

Huang Renhu grinned and showed a row of white teeth, with a hearty smile and no scheming, and scratched his head as he spoke.

"I'm used to it, I don't feel too tired."

The old man stroked his beard and nodded.

"Little brother, I have a grocery store on Fu'an Street, and the things sold are similar to those in your carry, and I am just a shopkeeper, would you like to come and help me?"

It's pie-in-the-sky!

Huang Renhu half-pushed and half-accepted the old man's kindness, and when he went to the shop the next day, he was shocked to find that what kind of grocery store this was! It's the number one fat powder jewelry shop in the city!

Only then did Huang Renhu know that the old man was the old lady of a well-known family in the city, and because he had already handed over all the affairs to his son, he didn't show up much on weekdays, so there were not many people who knew him.

Huang Renhu luckily saved the old man's life, and the old man said that he was hired as the shopkeeper, but the old man's son came over with the deed on the second day, and directly drew the handprint and transferred the shop directly to him!

Where is the pie falling from the sky, but the shining gold!

Huang Renhu was overjoyed, he had just taken over such a big shop, and a casual gadget in it was worth the price of all the goods in his entire load.

But Huang Renhu was not carried away by this huge joy, he knew that no matter how clever he was, he would be a merchant after all, if he didn't have any skills, such a good shop would sooner or later make him ruined.

In order to keep the wealth in his hands, Huang Renhu became more and more diligent, and made an in-depth understanding of the quality, price, purchase channels of each goods, and the goods in several other similar shops in the city.

He even ruthlessly paid a show talent to teach himself to read and write, just so that he could settle the accounts, not be deceived by the people below, and not be looked down upon.

Huang Renhu is sleek and sleek, and at the same time, he has put a lot of effort into establishing a good relationship with the guys in the original shop and establishing the prestige of the shopkeeper.

Huang Renhu was angry and forgot to eat for the sake of wealth and wealth, and he didn't dare to relax at all, but he left his previous agreement with the middle-aged man behind.
