Chapter 193: Dilemma
Lu Yougui thought for a while. Then he raised his eyes and asked, "What news did you hear inside?" Master Hou plans to send servants to others? Why did you pick our family? Could it be those red-eyed villains who are doing it?! ”
Chunying saw that her father wanted to be crooked, and hurriedly said: "It's not like this, it's ......" organized the language a little, "I don't know if my father has heard of it, there is a young master Zhou in the outer study, who is the son of Hou Ye's family friends, and he became an official because of his crimes, and Hou Ye spent a lot of effort to get people out and place them in the mansion as a scholar?" ”
"I've heard of it." Lu Yougui said, "That Zhou family master used to follow his old lady to the house as a guest, I also saw him and Hou Ye riding horses and playing together when I was a child, and then his family made an accident, I still wondered, this Zhou old man looked at Si Swenwen, how dare he collide with the emperor?" I've seen his son from afar, as if he lives nearby, right? looks pretty and beautiful, but he doesn't have much to do with our subordinates, I heard that Master Hou issued a death order, and he is not allowed to neglect him! As soon as they live and eat, they are like sons and brothers, and there are special people to wait. There was a pause. He raised his head with some understanding: "The official eunuch you are talking about, but you mean this young master?" But isn't he still a slave in the house? Although we are born in the family, we are much stronger than the minions of those minions! ”
Chun Ying hurriedly said: "That's not the case, this Young Master Zhou, the family will be rehabilitated soon, and when the time comes, he will recover his identity, and he can be regarded as an official eunuch, right?" When his family was confiscated, the subordinates were scattered, and the Hou Ye would definitely not watch him live a poor and white life alone, so it was inevitable to send a few family members, and maybe a little bit of houses and fields or something, and the people who were sent over would definitely have one who was promoted to the supervisor, isn't this a good opportunity? ”
"Good chance?" Lu Yougui frowned again.
"Of course it's a good opportunity!" Chunying picked up a stool and sat beside him, "Dad, think about it, now you are working hard to run the shop, and the profit is not bad, but in the Hou Mansion, your status is only average, and it is far worse than those big stewards." Even if they are in charge of the Zhuangzi outside, they are more beautiful than you, they have to bow down in front of the master's house all year round, that is, when they return home, they are not enough to put the big man's style outside? You are in charge of such a large shop, and you should be on an equal footing with them. But when you get together during the New Year's holidays, are they polite to you? From time to time, I ran to the shop to take it privately, and who was the person who wanted to put my relatives and juniors into your shop? Who is the person who looted the money from the shop and left the mess to find another fat difference? When you lose money, you hide far away, and when you see that the shop is making money, who is the person who makes you stumble behind your back and wants to pull you off the horse? ”
Lu Yougui didn't listen to Youke, and when he heard it, he was angry and angry. He lived so big that he finally got into the position, thinking that he could get ahead, but he took over an empty shelf, and I don't know how much there was a deficit, and the guys at the bottom were not fuel-efficient lamps, they only knew how to be lazy to do! Fortunately, the youngest daughter recognized a few foreign merchants, and had the face of the previous little brother of the Hu family, so she brought good goods on credit, and went to the customers in person, so she started the business and slowly made up for the shortfall. The grievances he had never suffered when he was a porter had tasted them all over those days! But he didn't even dare to tell his family. I have worked hard for a few years. Finally ran the silk shop well, and even the Hou Ye took out his name and praised the other two stewards during the New Year, is it easy for him? ! The bitterness is not enough for outsiders. But seeing that he has made the climate, someone is going to rob him, that villain! Even if they give them the shop, they only know how to make money! How could his hard work for several years be so bad in the hands of a villain?!
Chunying carefully observed her father's face on the side, and knew that there was a door, so she continued to persuade: "Although the Hou Mansion is good, but the family is big, and the personnel are also miscellaneous, although my father has done a good job, it is a pity that there is no backer behind it, if those people are ruthless to rob their father's errand, we don't know what we will lose!" However, this Young Master Zhou has a peaceful temperament and inherits the great grace of the Hou Mansion, if our family goes to serve him, Dad will not say that he must be in charge! He is a scholar, he is not very good at economic practice, human relations or anything, and he will have to rely on his father when the time comes, plus we are a gift from the Hou Ye, he will definitely treat each other with courtesy. He is good at learning, and after a few years, he took the imperial examination and became an official, so we can follow suit. When the time comes, Dad will follow him back to the Hou Mansion to visit, which housekeeper will dare to give you a look? Even if you are the manager of Wang, you have to politely call you 'the manager of the road'! ”
Lu Yougui's expression was a little shaken, if there was really that day, he would be able to raise his eyebrows! But soon he calmed down again: "Can his family really be rehabilitated?" I remember that he offended the first emperor and made things worse. Doesn't this emperor always tell people to be filial to their parents or something? Will he really exempt Master Zhou from his sins? ”
"Well...... this" Chunying thought for a while, "I heard that his family was involved in the crime back then, and it was involved by relatives, and there were several families who were convicted at that time, and now that those people have been rehabilitated, his family must not be difficult." The person who told me the news would not have said this if he was not sure, and now he is just waiting for the results to come out. ”
Lu Yougui lowered his head and thought about it, and then asked, "You say...... Hou Ye will give him a house and a field...... Presumably not much, right? Even the property at the end of the East Mansion, the Hou Ye has selfish intentions, not to mention that this Zhou Young Master is just his nephew? I think it's a foil at most! ”
Chun Ying said with a smile: "Naturally, it's just a help, Young Master Zhou is an ambitious person, and he still wants to rely on his own skills to revive the family business, and he won't rely on Master Hou everywhere." Hou Ye sent houses and fields, just to let Young Master Zhou have a place to live and not worry about life before the middle lift, but it is impossible for him to become rich. There's a saying, how do you say it? L. Mien. Fighting rice hatred? After that, she suddenly was a little worried, would her father be disgusted because of the Zhou family's lack of money? Busy and continued to add: "In fact, the amount of money in the master's family is secondary, as long as he can't starve us and can make us live comfortably, it's fine." Since my father took charge of that shop, our family has only been slightly richer, but we haven't made a fortune because of it. As long as you can maintain this kind of life in the future, the owner's family has less money and less property. It doesn't matter, does it? There is a father in the horizontal and vertical, and I can't starve everyone, and the most important thing is that I don't have to worry about being calculated all day long! ”
Lu Yougui twisted his beard and smiled, a little proud, but reason still made him say this: "Although it sounds good, no one knows if this is really the case." What if the Zhou family can't be rehabilitated? What if the marquis doesn't give away the property? What if the young master didn't get admitted to the lifting of people that week? ”
Chunying opened her mouth and whispered: "You have to wait until his family is rehabilitated, and the Hou Ye will give it away, industry or something, it seems to be ...... The third young master also mentioned so...... And Young Master Zhou's knowledge is really good, I listen...... What did the third young master say...... And he's very good at criminal law......"
Lu Yougui shook his head: "Even if these can be done, what if he becomes an official, but his family has been poor?" This is not possible either! He stared at his daughter, "Even if you don't know how to be calculated, Dad doesn't want your mother and your siblings to be poor." Staying in the Hou Mansion, even if you are a little angry from time to time, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. What's there to be afraid of with those villains? Master Hou and Mrs. Hou both know that I am capable, and they will not let those people succeed! ”
"But won't Dad be very aggrieved?" Chunying was a little unwilling, "Those who are masters will change their mood and thoughts at any time, and no one knows if he will beat us tomorrow!" Otherwise, it will be a random decision on our lives! He took a deep breath and calmed down, "Dad, I'm not afraid of being poor, because I can always earn it back when the money is gone." But our identity is determined, and there are many things that we can't help but decide. I know you don't like me when I talk about redemption, and I won't persuade you again. However, wouldn't it be more secure to choose a gentle-tempered and kind host? Dad is not a greedy person, not to mention that the family has a lot of money, we will not suffer! After a pause, he decided to add another fire: "And Xiaohu's grades in the academy are mediocre now, and Mr. is not very useful." Young Master Zhou is very knowledgeable and patient, and the little servant assigned by the Hou Ye to wait for him in the past, and he has only been with him for three years, and he can read books by himself. It can be seen that he is very good at teaching. Let's ask Xiaohu to learn from him for a few years, and his future knowledge will definitely be good! ”
Lu Yougui was shaken again, finding a good gentleman for his son is his greatest wish now, but once he changes the main family, now the shop in his hand is no longer in his hands, after all these years of hard work, the business is getting better and better, and he has a small reputation in the capital, how can he be willing to give up at this time? And this is not the master's decision, isn't it too stupid to ask him to give up on his own?
The son's homework does not have to be taught by the young master Zhou, as long as he can afford the tuition, there are still good gentlemen outside.
He thought about it and thought about it, sighed, and said softly to his daughter: "Chun'er, Dad knows that you saw Dad being angry outside, so you had this idea, but Dad really doesn't matter!" Now the business in the shop is good, the guys are all in charge, Mrs. Hou knows her father's talents, and no matter how angry others are, they can't move their father. Dad is old, his ancestors have been on errands in this house for generations, and his father doesn't want to leave, not to mention that this silk shop is my father's brainchild, so I can't afford to leave it like this. Now that your sister has married a good family and has children, my father only hopes that you can marry well, and then let your brother get a good errand and marry a wife and have children peacefully, and there is no other expectation. Let's not move the nest, right? ”
Chunying's eyes widened, she never thought that she had tried so hard to persuade her for so long, and her father was unmoved: "Why is this?" Dad, no matter how good the shop is, it's not ours, knowing that everyone is red, let's still hold on to it, don't we give people an excuse to harm you?! And even if you go to Zhou's house, you won't suffer?! Although the Hou Mansion is decent, there are no serious Jinshi officials in the Mansion now, and even the Hou Ye is only in the Ministry of War, and in the future, Young Master Zhou will be admitted to the Jinshi, even if he is not as rich as the Hou Mansion, when it comes to identity, it is not bad! Biting her lip, she was a little aggrieved: "I'm not for my own citizenship or anything, I'm just worried that you will be bullied, and my younger brother, I should go to the house in two years to wait, and there are few boys who have not been beaten...... Young Master Zhou at least won't bully you......"
Lu Yougui slowed down, smiled and patted her head: "Okay, okay, Dad knows that you are thinking about your family." But this matter ......" he hesitated, "That's okay, let's wait for that Young Master Zhou to be rehabilitated first, how about it?" When the time comes, I'll inquire again to see if his knowledge is really good, if it's really good, he will definitely be able to win, let's think about it again, what do you think? ”
Chunying noticed that her father was clearly perfunctory, and she couldn't help but be deflated. The situation of the Zhou family is unknown, and it is indeed a little risky, but as long as the rehabilitation is successful, there is hope for his family! If you wait until Zhou Nian wins the move and then takes refuge in the past, it's too late, right?
However, the father's thoughts cannot be ignored either...... He has spent a lot of thought in the silk shop in the past few years, telling him to give up, which seems to be quite unkind, as if he suddenly asked people to give up a good job with high salary and high benefits because he was worried that the competition was too big and the risk was too great. Men, the dedication is still very heavy, not to mention that my father has lived so much, that is, this job is the most fulfilling.
But Zhou Nian's sincerity over there was her initiative again...... The family member who let him out doesn't know what's going on, with his character, he must have an honest and capable housekeeper to help him, if his father can pass, it's a win-win situation, and his redemption plan depends on Zhou Nian's help!
Chunying only felt in a dilemma. She couldn't convince her father, and she didn't know how to reply to Zhou Nian, so she only felt a headache.
