Hearing the words of the big shopkeeper, Huo Rouyun took a sip of tea and asked, "How much silver is this batch of seafood?" ”

The big shopkeeper said: "I made a rough estimate, it will not be less than fifty thousand taels." ”

Huo Rouyun put down the teacup in his hand and said to the big shopkeeper: "Don't act rashly first, you go first." ”

The Huo family has been separated for decades, and the long house is prosperous, but when it comes to doing business, it is far inferior to the second house.

Fifty thousand taels of silver is nothing for the second room of the Huo family in Liuxi Lane, but no matter which one the long house is, it is a large amount.

After the big shopkeeper left, Huo Rouyun asked someone to call Mama Fan, and after a few words, Mama Fan withdrew.

Huo Roufeng was watching the girl smash walnuts for her in the house, and the little girl Qingshu ran in, Qingshu was only seven years old, and he was ordered by Huo Roufeng to stay in the front yard for the past two days.

"Ninth Master, the big shopkeeper of the Cloud Embroidery Workshop has just left."

Huo Roufeng smiled and said to Cai Qin: "Since the big shopkeeper of Yunxiu Fang is here, then my sister already knows, let Anhai and them keep an eye on the long house, and I will go to my sister." ”

Cai Qin hurriedly advised: "Ninth Master, if the eldest lady doesn't let you take care of this matter, you will be obedient and leave it alone, okay?" ”

Huo Roufeng walked a few steps, turned around again when she heard the words, and said to Cai Qin: "Don't worry, I won't make my sister angry." ”

With that, she went to the front yard with a smoke.

Huo Rouyun flipped through the account book with one hand and pulled the abacus with the other, glanced at her sister who crept in, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”

"Sister, did the big shopkeeper of Yunxiu Fang find out the shares of the Lu family's second uncle Youxing?" Huo Roufeng asked, Second Uncle Xing is Huo Zixing, the second master of the long house.

Huo Rouyun sighed and asked, "How did you know about that batch of seafood?" ”

Huo Roufeng put her elbow on the bookcase, raised her delicate chin, and said proudly: "Didn't Little Eleven want to come to our house?" In the past few days, I have let people stare at him, but unfortunately he is too timid to even dare to go out of the house. ”

Of course, she won't tell her sister, she not only scared Xiao Eleven, but also bought off a mother-in-law who loves gambling money next to the second wife.

Huo Rouyun became interested and asked, "What have you heard?" ”

Huo Roufeng said: "The second wife took out the two shops in the south of the city, sold a thousand acres of paddy fields, and asked the third sister-in-law to go back to her parents' house to borrow silver, and the third sister-in-law came back empty-handed, and was scolded by the second wife. ”

How many belongings there are in the long house, Huo Rouyun knows very well, although the two shops in the south of the city are not big, they are in good locations, and they are all shops that can make money, and there are not many fields in the south, and it is even more rare to be able to connect into a large paddy field, and the second wife is willing to sell all the 1,000 acres of paddy fields, which shows that she is really in a hurry to use the money.

The third sister-in-law in Huo Roufeng's mouth is Huo San's grandmother, her maiden family has two tea mountains, and it took the second wife a lot of effort to settle on this family business, but she didn't expect that at this time, the in-laws were unexpectedly untouched, and with the temper of the second wife, it was strange not to be angry.

These news will definitely not be something that can be inquired about by a stalker.

Huo Rouyun put away her smile and said, "You want to clean up Little Eleven, this is a matter between children, my sister doesn't care, but other things, you shouldn't interfere, how old are you?" ”

Huo Roufeng had already guessed that her sister would say this, she said with a smile: "Sister, I don't want to get involved, but Changfang always wants to beat my idea, I can't be like a fool, wait for them to bully me." ”

Seeing that her sister didn't speak, Huo Roufeng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she pushed her safety to the front, her sister's thoughts would be the same.

She continued: "I heard that Peng Cheng Bofu granted a hereditary replacement, which is the first among the relatives of this dynasty, and it stands to reason that the queen should thank you for this grace, but the royal family of Peng Cheng Bofu accepted it with peace of mind, which shows that neither the queen nor the entire Peng Cheng Bofu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If it goes on like this, maybe he will interfere in the court as a relative in the future. ”

"It's a pity that the Queen Mother is still alive, whether the queen wants to envelop the harem, or Peng Chengbofu wants to be in power, all need silver, sister just look at the Lu family, the Lu family is the in-law of the Wang family, and it is only a second- or third-rate family in Jiangnan, it is conceivable that the Wang family not only has no background, but also has no rich background."

"But the current emperor can give them the hereditary title, which shows that he can't be called a Ming monarch. The emperor is weak and capable ministers, and there will be ministers, and the queen blows the pillow wind to the emperor in the palace, and the royal family is just beginning. ”

"Second Uncle Xing sold his land and sold his land, and he did not hesitate to smash the pot and sell iron to make up money to tie up the Wang family, and he must have seen through the pros and cons of this. He caught up with the Wang family at this time, and he also fell into the snow, if it was another year or two, he was afraid that he would not even be able to take care of the Wang family. ”

"Sister, our second room is just a merchant, but Second Uncle Xing has the Wang family as a backer, the Wang family is not only an official, but also a relative of the emperor, at that time, what Second Uncle Xing wants is not just to pass his son to the second room."

Huo Roufeng rarely said so many words at one time, she was a little thirsty, she poured a cup of tea by herself, drank it with a bang, and after drinking a cup of tea, she put down the cup, only to see her sister staring at her in surprise.

She wiped her face with her little hand and asked, "Sister, why are you looking at me?" Flowers on my face? ”

Huo Rouyun shook his head and asked, "Who did you listen to about the emperor and the Wang family?" ”

Huo Roufeng grimaced and said with a smile: "It's all sung like this in the play, such as ......"

She said the names of several plays in a row, and Huo Rouyun sighed and said to her: "You may be right, Second Uncle Xing should think like this." ”

Huo Rouyun didn't know what was going on in the court, and she didn't think of it, but her sister's words were like an enlightenment, which made her suddenly enlightened.

"Sister, while Second Uncle Xing's cargo hasn't been shipped yet, let's start first." Huo Roufeng shook her little fist.

Huo Rouyun looked at her fiercely and asked, "Strike first?" ”

Huo Roufeng said: "Sister, if you talk about silver, how is our family compared to the high-ranking families in the capital?" ”

Huo Rouyun said: "Only about silver, how can the capital be compared with Jiangnan?" Our house has more money than they do. ”

"What about the salt merchants in Yangzhou?" Huo Roufeng asked again.

Huo Rouyun thought for a while and said: "In the past few years, the salt has been taken away by the nobles, and the life of the salt merchants in Yangzhou is not easy, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and there are one or two that can still be compared with our family." ”

"So, sister, whether it is in the eyes of Second Uncle Xing or in the eyes of the Wang family of Pengcheng Bofu, our family is a big fortune?" Huo Roufeng asked.

Huo Rouyun was shocked in her heart, and sat up straight suddenly, yes, why did she only see the long room and only the second master, but she didn't expect that Peng Chengbo's Mansion would also take a fancy to the Yongfeng Fortune?
