The climate in early spring is still a little cold, especially when it is drizzling every day, and it is damp everywhere, Lin Kangping is not around, and Ziqing's opinion is being asked for the big and small things in the village, and Ziqing's mood is getting worse and worse. At this time, the third brother and sister Yang were pregnant, and Shen couldn't spend more time with Ziqing.

A month later, Ziqing received a letter from Lin Kangping, knowing that they had arrived in Beijing safely, Lin Kangping first went to inspect various industries, and then bought two shops and a Zhuangzi in the capital. The two go out of the city every day to find a suitable place to build a factory, and they have taken a fancy to several places, but they have not yet finalized.

Half a month later, I received a letter, the site has been selected, and the factory has begun to be built, because there is not much money on hand, and there is no plan to make a very large scale at the beginning, Ziqing means to do it first, if the benefits are good, you can do the second and third phase of the project, so Ziqing estimates that there are enough time to build the factory for three or four months, and Lin Kangping is always worried about his family, and he should rush to work in advance. In addition, there is good news, Zixi's wife is pregnant. Ziqing's heart gradually precipitated.

Shen is really happy now, to be honest, he hasn't been happy for more than a year, how can Shen not be anxious in his heart, it's just that it's not easy to show it. The Fu family also received the letter at the same time, and Mrs. Fu also put down this big stone in her heart, to be honest, if she waits any longer, she is really afraid that Zixi will marry Xiao.

Because of this happy event, Mrs. Fu came to Zeng's house specially for a trip, and also came to see Ziqing, it was Shen who came in with her through the small door, and Ziqing was looking at Lin Xing's Taolin'an beehive in Qingyuan.

Spring is coming, flowers are blooming everywhere in the garden, and fruit trees are pruned after a winter. It seems that the flowers are blooming more brightly, Ziqing saw that the honey collected by Kangzhuang was good, and thought that the flowers in Qingyuan could not be wasted. I want to collect some honey to eat by myself, and look at the falling English all over the ground. Ziqing asked the maids to collect some clean petals and keep them for their own rouge cream.

When Mrs. Fu entered the door, she looked at the flowers in the garden and said with a smile: "It's late in the old year." [~] I thought I couldn't miss it this year, I really caught up, everywhere flowers, butterflies everywhere, it's really beautiful. ”

Ziqing laughed when she heard this, there is no woman who doesn't like flowers, and asked, "Madame, which one is good." How about I cut a peony hairpin for my wife? ”

"Forget it, we are old-skinned and old-faced, we don't have to insult this good flower, so we still keep it for you young people." Mrs. Fu said with a smile.

After Mrs. Fu finished speaking, she took Ziqing's hand and said with a smile: "I just like the way you behave." How many times have I told you, I have nothing to do to come to my house to sit with me, but I just refuse, and I have to wait for me, an elder, to come and see you. ”

Seriously, when they heard their daughter say that they wanted to open a glass factory in the capital, the Fu family was really surprised, who didn't know that it was a good way to make money, but no one could get the formula. I really didn't expect the Zeng family to have a formula in their hands, but it was rare that the formula was in Ziqing's hands. Ziqing actually dedicated, Zixi also accounted for a large share, the Fu family was really overjoyed, Master Fu boasted that he had good eyesight and fell in love with Zixi, with both talent and wealth, Zixi's future can go further. Where can you find such a good thing?

Mrs. Fu was a little puzzled, why didn't Ziqing's family open their own factory and take a money-making recipe and waste it in their hands for many years, but Master Fu broke through and said: "Confused, just with his white ding, can he keep this big family business?" has been remembered for a long time, is it difficult to say whether you can keep it or not? This Lin Kangping is steady, thoughtful, don't look at the low background, in the end it is from everyone, the knowledge is not low, I like to deal with such people. ”

Mrs. Fu listened to Lord Fu's words and suddenly realized, no wonder she always felt that something was wrong with Qingyuan, it was what Master Fu said, which was a low-key, natural luxury. Originally, she fell in love with Ziqing's temperament, but now she prefers it a little more.

Mrs. Fu stayed in Qingyuan for a meal, and she secretly felt that Ziqing's life was not worse than theirs at all, on the contrary, it was more relaxed. [.] I don't understand how Mrs. Xia has no eyes, and she still can't look down on Ziqing, isn't she missing the identity of a scholar?

In mid-April, Lin Kangping finally came back, saying that the factory had been built, just waiting for the ignition test, and he took the opportunity to hurry back to go to Yuecheng, if the test was successful, he would no longer go to the capital, the test was not successful, and he would go to the capital when he came back from Yuecheng.

Lin Kangping still went to the capital again, this time by water, and by the way, he brought all the vermicelli noodles in the village to the capital. When I came back again, it was past the summer harvest, and Shuwei's first birthday had passed.

The glass factory in the capital has been put on the right track, the first batch of glass has come out, Zixi bought a shop in the capital, specializing in selling glass, and there will be various glass products in the future, and it is necessary to have a special shop. Because the price is not high, you can buy and cut, so the business is still good, Lin Kangping sent Wang Cai to take charge of the shop.

A few days after Lin Kangping came back, it was already the beginning of July, and Shen Baofu had already brought a large cart of tea and mountain goods, and in the past two years, Lin Kangping did not have to go to Linshan County to receive the goods in person, and they were all handed over to Shen Baofu.

Ziqing knew that they were going to Yuecheng again, and helped him with his clothes and luggage at night, Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and said: "Qing'er, I have been running outside for most of the year, and I haven't accompanied you well, fortunately, the glass factory in the capital has entered normal, I heard that the glass is not enough to sell, and the fourth means to start doing the second phase and develop new glass products, but this does not require me to go over, you give him some ideas and send some drawings to the past." I don't plan to go out when I come back from Yuecheng, I want to accompany you well, don't worry, I promise you that I will do it. During this time, you are tired, and you are worried about everything at home and abroad. By the way, Mrs. Zhao in the sewing room in the village gave birth to a son yesterday, and you watched the messenger send someone to give a milk gift. ”

"Mrs. Zhao? Is that the one who married the coppersmith? Ziqing asked.

"It's not him, when he learned that he hugged a son, he was so excited that tears came out, saying that he never dreamed that there would be today in this life, and he would come to kowtow to you, but I stopped him. When you took him in, you really did a great good deed. Now, these two guys still have to be grateful to you for the rest of their lives? ”

"By the way, I said that there was a big thing that I hadn't done, and I couldn't find a chance to ask you before, but now, you also know where I came from, and I'll tell you the truth. What are the current regulations on mines in our country? Are individuals allowed to buy copper ore? ”

Lin Kangping looked at Ziqing with a little surprise and asked, "I can buy it, but the copper that has been refined can only be sold to the state." Do you know where there are copper mines? ”

Ziqing nodded, and said the approximate location of the copper mine that he knew in his previous life, "It is a copper mine with a large storage, and more importantly, the gold and silver content in it is still very high, I have been to practice before, and I remember that it seems to have been said at that time, the gold content in the copper mud after smelting copper has reached more than 20%, that is, more than 20% of what you said." ”

"A good thing is a good thing, I also probably know the direction, but if our family is developing it now, the movement is a little too big, and we have just built a glass factory, which will buy a big copper mine. It is easy to attract the envy of outsiders, the power of the eldest brother is still smaller, and the fourth brother is even more out of reach, and it is too far away. Lin Kangping groaned.

"If you want me to say, take advantage of the present time, find an opportunity to buy those hills, and not develop them first. In the future, if our children are out of the ordinary, we can protect this family business, and we will plan again. You take the opportunity to go out this time, take the old money head, I heard, he will beneficiate, well, to the outside world, I had a dream, I dreamed that the feng shui of this place is good, and the horizontal and vertical there are also mountains and rivers. ”

"This is easy to say, according to your idea, I will postpone my departure tomorrow for a while, talk to the old money head first, and, how many silver tickets do you have in our house?" Lin Kangping thought for a while and said. Originally, he planned to go early and return early.

Ziqing listened to the small box from the dark grid, the Lin family's economy has risen to a new level in recent years, Lin Kangping runs to Guangdong City twice a year, and can bring back a small income of 3,000 taels of silver, Ziqing's orange orchard has a small income of 2,000 taels a year, Kangzhuang, because of the daily delivery of vegetables to Anzhou Yamen, now there are more than 3,000 taels a year, and sweaters and down clothes can also bring more than 200 taels of silver a year. The things produced by Qingyuan are responsible for the family's expenses for a year, and there is still a slight surplus of expenses.

Lin Kangping bought more than 20 shops in Beijing, Changzhou, Anzhou and other places, 600 acres of paddy fields, and the annual rent is almost more than 3,000 taels, plus the income from the shop in the capital and making soap can also be thousands, and after these are removed, Ziqing still has more than 30,000 taels of silver in her hand, which is not a small rich woman. Since then, the annual income is almost 13,000 taels, and Ziqing still has a sense of accomplishment in her heart, that is, there is not much land at home, and she has to continue to work hard.

Lin Kangping looked at Ziqing counting the silver tickets and real estate with crooked eyebrows, his heart was itching, he hugged Ziqing, touched Ziqing's stomach and said, "Why hasn't there been any movement yet?" For most of the past six months, it has been the fourth child who has made trouble, and there is no news about our daughter. Keep the silver for you to count tomorrow, my daughter is the biggest, and I will sell hard tonight. After speaking, he hugged Ziqing and was about to go to bed.

There were silver tickets, house deeds, and land deeds scattered on the table and on the ground, and Ziqing said, "I have to be allowed to put things together." ”

"Don't worry, little wealth fan, you can't lose it, you can pick it up slowly tomorrow. I'm going out tomorrow. ”

The next day, Lin Kangping came back from Kangzhuang, with a smile on his face, obviously he had already said that he had moved the old money, Lin Kangping had no time to accompany the old money to look for mines there, and found two strict-mouthed boys to follow, and by the way, he took care of the old money.

"It's been said that we'll leave in an hour. When I come back from Canton, I'll go look for them again. Regardless of whether this trip goes well or not, you are not allowed to worry, and our family will not be far behind. Wait for me at home, and I'll do the rest. Lin Kangping touched Ziqing's face and said reluctantly. (This site: Your support is my biggest motivation. )
