Second Master Fang looked at his crying inhuman wife and daughter, he couldn't harden his heart in the end, after all, it was his own daughter, how could he watch her jump into the fire pit?

"Father! This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and I think that Xiao Wang will not want our Xiao Qi to marry over! ”

Old Lady Fang's eyes flashed, and she sighed and said, "Let Xiao Qi go to Zhuangzi to live for a while, and then talk about it after avoiding this limelight!" ”

After finishing speaking, Old Lady Fang turned around and left.

The Fang family started business from Old Lady Fang, and he was originally a guy in the tooth shop. By chance, he got acquainted with a steward beside Zhen Yingjia, and since then he has been a businessman. The Fang family relied on the Zhen family to develop for decades and became the premier tea merchant in Jiangnan. When Zhen Yingjia was appointed as the salt transportation envoy, Mrs. Fang begged to come to the door, wanting to follow some light. Zhen Yingjia also needed the Fang family's help to make money for him in the salt administration, so he gave the Fang family a 30% salt introduction, making the Fang family the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou overnight. The Fang family is different from the Liu family, the Liu family has been engaged in salt merchants for generations, and they have always been relatively stable, and the salt they get from the imperial court every year is certain, not much but not a lot, for such a salt merchant, Zhen Yingjia will not easily offend, and will only try to win it over. And the Fang family completely relied on Zhen Yingjia to get involved in salt transportation, and it can be said that Zhen Yingjia is a very useful chess piece that Zhen Yingjia pulled up.

Although Old Lady Fang is a down-and-out person, he is very good at socializing and exquisite, so the reputation of the Fang family has been good over the years, and Old Lady Fang's popularity is also very good.

But in Zhen Yingjia's eyes, the Fang family can only be a tool for him to make money, but the really important things will not let the Fang family get involved. Zhen Yingjia is such a shrewd person, he has already seen through the sheepskin of Old Lady Fang, and now Zhen Yingjia can still help the Fang family in business, but once Zhen Yingjia falls, the Fang family will definitely fall into the ground. This is also the reason why when Lin Ruhai forced any of his former adults to hand over the account books, Zhen Yingjia chose to find the Xue family and the Liu family to help him.

Regarding the marriage between Miss Fang Qi and the Xue family, Old Lady Fang was indeed not optimistic at that time, just because the reputation of the Xue family was very bad at that time, and he offended the Lin family, Old Lady Fang's vision of people was still very accurate, and he knew that Second Master Xue would be killed by the Lin family sooner or later. Sure enough, after that, the Xue family's business plummeted, and even the most profitable shipping business suffered a devastating blow, although the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, but the old lady Fang still didn't want to have anything to do with the Xue family.

However, Second Mrs. Fang was bent on marrying her daughter into the Xue family, and later Zhen Yingjia came forward to tell the two families that Old Mrs. Fang opened her mouth and agreed to the marriage. However, the moment he agreed to marry his granddaughter to Second Master Xue, Old Lady Fang already regarded this granddaughter as a dead person. For the Fang family, it was just a loss of a girl, as long as it did not affect the interests of the Fang family as a whole, Old Lady Fang would not care about this.

Now such a situation has indeed brought a lot of trouble to the Fang family, and if it is not handled well, the reputation of the Fang family will be ruined. At this time, marrying his granddaughter to the Xue family as promised would be suspected of coveting the Xue family's property, but if he didn't marry, he would be said to be untrustworthy, such a dilemma made Mrs. Fang feel a little powerless for the first time.

"Father!" Master Fang heard that his father had gone to the second brother's side, and as soon as he came back, he came over to find Old Master Fang.

"Hmmm! Where did you go to the feast today, and you won't be back until this time? Old Lady Fang asked lazily and casually.

"Today I went to the house of Lord Gu of Yangzhou Zhizhou! But today, my son was fortunate to meet Mr. Hua Chonghua, Master Lin's master! ”

"Oh? Is it? Have you talked to Mr. Hua? Old Lady Fang suddenly became interested, and asked Old Master Fang seriously.

"Huh! Yes! Mr. Hua is a very personable and talkative person. He used to be in business in Suzhou, and was once the shopkeeper of the first silk village in the south of the Yangtze River, but was later framed by the owner, and he was rescued by Lord Lin when the whole family died, and since then he has been with Lord Lin to give him advice. ”

"Hmmm! It seems that Lord Lin has a good impression of our Fang family! Old Lady Fang smiled.

Master Fang also smiled and nodded, "My son thinks so too!" Mr. Hua can say these things to his son, it is not just a simple chatter! It should be testing our attitude, I think it is Lord Lin who has a heart to attract our family! ”

"Our Fang family is only today because of Master Zhen, how can we do something to betray the Lord at will!"

"That's what my father said! But today I also heard a news, most of the gold and silver that suddenly appeared in Lord He's courtyard were from the Liu family! ”

Old Lady Fang's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she stared at Old Master Fang and confirmed, "Is this true?" But what did you learn from Mr. Hua? ”

"It's not what Mr. Hua said, but my son also overheard a few guests talk about it. One of the guests was a small official in the Yanzheng Yamen, and he said that most of the gold and silver brought back to the Yanzheng Yamen from the courtyard of Lord He had the mark of the Liu family on them, and his son felt that this matter should be true. Father, you think, looking at the entire Yangzhou City, who else except the Liu family can prepare such a large sum of cash overnight? ”

Old Lady Fang frowned and pondered for a long time, then sneered sharply in her eyes and said, "I thought that our Fang family was the most trusted and powerful helper of the Zhen family, but I didn't expect it......"

"And no wonder! After all, people are now serious in-laws, so they are naturally closer than us! Master Fang also smiled predictively.

"Humph! Today's salt policy is in the hands of Lord Lin, and now it looks like this year's salt is about to be distributed, I want to see how Master Zhen will deal with it? ”

"I'm afraid Master Zhen is in a hurry now!" Master Fang smiled mockingly.

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"Father didn't know that Lord Lin's eldest son was poisoned when the Zhen family went to the banquet, and it was found out that it was instructed by a concubine of Lord Zhen. However, it was later found out that the concubine was given by the second master Xue, and the concubine also admitted that the poison was given to her by the second master Xue! The relatives of the Lin family and the Zhen family have done it! Master Zhen made a fool of himself in public, which made the Zhen family's bad reputation even worse! ”

"Could it be that Xue Erlang is the black cauldron that he carries for the Zhen family?" Old Lady Fang asked in disbelief. Take a hundred times to read the latest chapter of "Jia Min's Counterattack Claw Book House of Red Mansions" for free for the first time.
