057 Can my cousin learn to read?
For a while, Mei Yongxin's matter finally came to an end. Mei Yongxin made a joke and returned to his position in a gloomy manner.
And Mei Cheng'an's side, the account books of several shops under his hand, although the profits are not as good as those of the East Street shops, and there is such a big harvest, but they are also neat and beautiful. He also talked about the business of the king of Kyoto, which can be regarded as a lot of growth for the Mei family.
The old lady is still very relieved in her heart, maybe sometimes, she is too demanding of Cheng'an's child.
He has been gifted and extremely smart since he was a child, and he is also very creative in business, and she has always cultivated him as the future head of the Mei family.
It's just that in the end, the child's health is a little worse, if so...... If it can get better, it will really be in vain for so many years of cultivation of the Mei family.
Thinking so, the old lady sighed secretly and put down the account book in her hand, "Cheng'an, this year's business is still the same as in previous years, and it is doing well." However, you have just talked about the business of Ren'an Pharmacy, and the demand for medicinal materials in this medicine field will be much larger, and our previous medicine fields may not be enough, this matter can be imagined. β
"Back to my grandmother, I thought about it earlier." Mei Chengan lowered his chin, "Before discussing this business with Ren'an Pharmacy, my grandson was already prepared. In fact, "Watching the Clouds" is only one of the reasons why Master Wang agreed to the business, the biggest reason is that the Mei family pharmacy can get so many medicinal materials, and the quality and number of medicinal materials are enough to meet his needs. β
As soon as Mei Cheng'an's voice fell, Fang Jiaxin, the shopkeeper of Baicaotang, also stood up and arched his hand, "Old lady, a few months ago, the young master obtained a drawing of a machine such as a waterwheel and a water plow, which is similar to the waterwheel we used in the medicine field before, but it is more practical, not only for irrigation of the medicine field, but also can be used to replace the medicine farmer, which can save a lot of manpower and time." In the past few months, a lot of people have been sent to process and drive out, and they are used in a medicine field. He also bought a few more plots of land to grow medicinal fields, and the same medicine farmers and time were able to concoct several times more finished medicinal materials than before. β
"Oh, really?" The old lady's expression lit up, "In the past, the waterwheels in the medicine field were all made by craftsmen from the waterfront city in the east, but now the waterwheels in the east have been renovated, so they have invited people?" β
"It's not." Mei Chengan shook his head, and suddenly remembered the little girl in his mind, thinking that she obviously had a seven-trick heart, but she wanted to pretend to be innocent like a little white rabbit, and when she was poked, she pretended to be calm, and she couldn't help but laugh to herself, "It's a friend of my grandson, very smart, and I learned the rumors and things in the books by myself, and transformed it." β
Mei Cheng'an's smile made the people who looked at him stunned, and they only felt that they had lost their eyes.
They have seen the eldest young master a few times, but they have never seen him smile, and they thought that the eldest young master of the Mei family would not laugh at all, who would have thought that they could actually see this day.
The old lady also shook her head, "Really? Cheng'an has such a smart friend, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely bring it for his grandmother to meet. β
can make his grandson smile, and think about it should be a very important friend.
"She's always liked to be clean, but I think there's a chance."
"Really?" Mrs. Mei also laughed, "The more you say this, the more I look forward to it." β
β¦β¦
The accounts were almost cleared, and Mrs. Mei was also a little tired, so she explained when she should explain, and then she almost handed over the authority to Mei Cheng'an to take care of it, and repeatedly told him to take care of his body while taking care of his business, so he let his subordinates help him back to the room.
The principals of the shop also exchanged a few words of greeting and went out of Meifu.
Mei Chengan asked Wen Yan to put away the things that should be collected and walked out of the hall.
It's just that he just walked out, but Mei Yongxin hurriedly followed in a few steps, the confession just now was completely gone, and the anger on his face was on his face, "Mei Chengan, you stop!" β
"The eldest young master......" Wen Yan shouted softly, and everyone could see that the second young master came here at this time purely to find trouble.
Mei Chengan shook his head slightly, then turned around and glanced at Mei Yongxin in front of him, "Why, Fang Cai didn't ask for benefits, and now he wants to ask for a bargain?" β
"Mei Cheng'an, you are less proud." Mei Yongxin was so angry that he couldn't help but vent it, "I admit it, I was careless this time, I didn't expect you to be so cunning." β
"Concession." Mei Chengan chuckled, "If you don't do those things, how can you give me a chance to deal with you, in the end, I should thank you." β
"You! Hum! Mei Yongxin's nose snorted, "Don't think that you can completely knock me down this time, you see, I made such a big mistake, my grandmother still forgave me, proving that I also have a place in her heart, as long as this Mei family pharmacy does not collapse, sooner or later, one day, I will snatch back what you have in your hand little by little." β
Mei Chengan didn't care about Mei Yongxin's cheap words at all, "This kind of thing, let's wait until you have the opportunity to sit in the same position as me, and then talk about it." β
"Don't worry, sooner or later, there will be a day." Mei Yongxin bit out a sentence from between his teeth, and suddenly laughed again, "But Mei Cheng'an, I have to wait for you, and I have a life to live until that day." Didn't the fortune teller say, twenty-two? Ha, this year has passed again, and I'm afraid your days are getting less and less. β
"Second Young Master, you!" Mei Yongxin's words were a little ugly, and Wen Yan couldn't listen to them anymore. Forget about the side of it, the eldest young master's illness, the people in the house are afraid that he will be sad, and they never say it to his face, but only the second young master, just want to poke the sore spot.
"It doesn't matter." And the eldest young master of his own family seems to be much calmer than himself.
Mei Cheng'an's face was still calm and light, but there was a slight chill under his eyes, "It's a pity that even I, a person who has already stepped into the coffin with one foot, my grandmother is still willing to hand over the Mei family's business to me." There are still four years to go, and it's up to you to see if you have the ability to take it away. β
"Hmph, don't worry, there will be a day!"
"We'll see." Mei Chengan spit out four words lightly, his eyes were drawn to Mei Yongxin's back, his brows immediately furrowed again, he didn't want to say more to Mei Yongxin, he turned around and wanted to leave.
It's a pity that the person behind him came to look for him on a special trip, how could he let him go, and shouted when he was too far away, "Cousin! Cousin wait for me! β
"Cousin Chiyuki?" Mei Yongxin turned around when he heard the voice, his expression opened, "Why are you here?" β
"Second cousin, I'm here to find Cousin Cheng'an." Zhu Qianxue quickly replied to Mei Yongxin's sentence, hurriedly ran to Mei Chengan, stopped him, and pouted with a small cherry mouth, with a look of grievance, "Cousin, I finally came to Mei's house, why did you leave when you saw me." β
"This is the second time this month."
"This ...... That's because Laba is my birthday. Zhu Qianxue shook her body, remembering what A-Niang said, women have to learn to be soft and delicate in front of men. My cousin wasn't in the house when I was in Laba, and I didn't come to my birthday banquet, and no one saw you. AndγAnd people can't wait to see my cousin every day.γ β
It's a pity that these things are obviously useless in front of Mei Chengan.
He silently took a step back, a little farther away from Shangzhu Qianxue, "I'm sorry, there are a lot of business things." β
"I know you're busy with business, cousin, but...... But it was my birthday, and I really wanted to see my cousin. Zhu Qianxue was aggrieved, she was the eldest lady of the Zhu family, where was not everyone holding it, but I don't know why, but the person she likes always turns a blind eye to her.
"Now that they see me, say anything."
"I ......"
Mei Cheng'an choked her so much that she didn't know what to say, what else could she do to find him, it was nothing more than thinking about him and wanting to see him.
But this kind of words, how can a girl say it herself, my cousin is so smart, but it's this kind of thing, I don't seem to understand it.
Zhu Qianxue pursed the corners of her lips, tilted her head and thought for a while, before she raised it again, "Cousin Cheng'an, you are right, this birthday is every year, and it is not very interesting to go." However, I heard that a few green plum trees have just been moved from afar in this Yu'an city and planted outside the city, and many people have gone to see them. You said that you have seen this white plum and red plum, and I don't know what this green plum looks like, cousin, if you are free, why don't we go and see it in two days. β
Zhu Qianxue looked at Mei Chengan expectantly, just wanting to see that he could finally nod.
She really has no choice, and she doesn't know what her cousin likes, in the past two years, she feels that she has already made an appointment, what flowers and moons, what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her cousin said that he didn't like everything, and he said that he was busy every time, and he didn't want to go with her.
Zhu Qianxue really has no choice, no, I heard the sister with a good relationship tell me about Lumei, and she came to Mei's house to ask her cousin again.
It's just that this time, she was looking forward to it so much, her cousin's head still didn't come down, he just looked at her slowly, as if he was thinking for a while, before he spoke, "Cousin, has you been reading and writing with peace of mind recently?" β
"Huh?" Where did Zhu Qianxue think that Mei Cheng'an would suddenly ask such a question, but she still replied obediently: "Yes, my father hired a teacher for me, and I studied with my brother at home, but I didn't learn any big articles like my brothers, just simple articles and poems." Mother also said that women don't need to learn great ambitions, but they still need some ink in their stomachs. β
"Poetry?" Mei Chengan listened, his eyebrows raised slightly, "If you learn poetry, it's really a coincidence, I happen to have a poem here, I want to see how my cousin has learned?" β
