An Hai came out of Huo Roufeng's yard with his front feet, and someone rushed to tell Huo Rouyun.

Huo Rouyun drank tea calmly and said to Mama Fan: "My father said when he was alive that Xiao Jiu's temper is the same as mine, but whatever she wants to do, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, she will do it." ”

Mama Fan said: "The master is right, the ninth master's temperament is like this, just like you, he can do great things." ”

Huo Rouyun shook her head and sighed: "She has a long-term vision than me, and I am not as good as her." ”

The corners of Mama Fan's mouth moved, although the ninth master was smart and clever, but after all, he was only eleven years old, how could he see the long term better than the well-informed lady, but she didn't dare to say anything, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

Huo Rouyun said: "I always wanted to protect her before, but now it seems that I am wrong, she is gradually growing up, even the fledgling must always learn to fly, not to mention that the Huo family is just a merchant, rather than me holding her in the palm of my hand, it is better to give her a chance to practice her hands." ”

Mama Fan hurriedly asked, "But the ninth master is still young......

Huo Rouyun smiled slightly: "I still have you, all pretend not to know, let people quietly stare at her next to her, help her when she encounters difficulties, you urge the people around her to arrange her to go to Wuxi properly, and as soon as the matter here is over, immediately send her to Wuxi and leave this place." ”

Mama Fan nodded again and again, and retreated.

Huo Rouyun stood up, stared blankly at a painting on the wall, and muttered, "Father, I don't know if it's right to do this, but Xiao Jiu is very smart, and I don't want to raise her into a caged bird." ”

It was only four days, Chang Sheng rushed back from Dinghai, and at this time, the batch of goods transported by the Lu family to the capital had all been loaded onto the ship, and they were about to leave the next day.

Chang Sheng came to see Huo Zixing in a hurry, and said happily: "Second master, the little ones not only entered the village, but also saw their goods, and those seafood are better than those seen in Hangzhou." ”

Huo Zixing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Have you met someone from the You family?" ”

The You family is not stupid, if he can send someone to Dinghai here, the You family will definitely go, not to mention that the two fishermen are still in the hands of the You family.

"The little one hasn't seen the people of the You family, the little one hired a boat to go to Dinghai, and as soon as he got on the boat, he heard about the village, and even the people on the ferry knew about it, and they all said that if no one received the goods, the people in the village wouldn't even be able to come up with the money to repair the ship and buy a new net. When the little one entered the village, as the legend said, they saw the little one dressed up, so they surrounded it, scrambling to take the little one to see their own goods, and then the little one knew that it turned out that the day before, there were two people from Hangzhou City, and they said that they were introduced by the Li brothers in their village, and the two people said that they had returned to Hangzhou and asked the owner, and they gave them an answer. ”

Huo Zixing gasped, thanks to the fact that he hadn't gone to the capital yet, otherwise there would be no one in the family who could call the shots, and this batch of goods would have fallen into the hands of the You family in vain.

"Have you seen all of them?" He asked.

Chang Sheng said: "The small one looked at more than a dozen households, and those goods were much more than the goods on the list given by the You family, and I thought that the You family deliberately reported less, because they wanted to throw stones and ask for directions, so that we could catch the eldest lady, and then bypass us, and sell more goods to Yongfeng in private." ”

Huo Zixing nodded, Chang Sheng said very much, he would do the same if he were to do it.

"How much silver do you estimate for the ready-made goods in the village?" Huo Zixing asked.

Chang Sheng said: "There are 20,000 taels to say less, among which there are good double-headed abalone and three-headed abalone, which are all necessary for large families in the capital." ”

Twenty thousand taels?

Huo Zixing's back molars hurt, and what he lacks most now is silver.

Before, it was said that the batch of goods was only 5,000 taels, although 5,000 taels is not a small amount, but it can always be made up if you get together, but now 5,000 taels have become 20,000 taels.

If there are only 5,000 taels of goods, the You family will definitely collect all the remaining goods.

Thinking of this, Huo Zixing couldn't sit still, took the price quoted by the fishermen at the beginning, and asked the account room to calculate carefully, if it was exchanged for 20,000 taels of goods, at least how much he could earn.

The account office quickly estimated that if 20,000 taels of goods were to be collected, half of them would be given to Yongfeng, and the other half would be offset by the previous credit, so that not only could the payment be paid off, but there would also be a surplus of at least 10,000 taels, because this batch of goods was much better than those shipped to the capital, and the price was of course different.

Huo Zixing swallowed his saliva with difficulty, he lived for more than forty years, and he had never earned 10,000 taels of silver at one time.

Over the years, the long house is living on the ancestral property, and in a year, each family only has a thousand taels of silver, 10,000 taels of silver, even if you don't eat, drink, spend it, and earn it for ten years.

At this moment, the little guy came in and said, "Second master, the Lu family came to deliver the goods, saying that Master Lu said it, I ask you to find Youjia Chashan to buy some Ming Qian this spring, and take it to drink on the road." ”

Huo Zi was so angry that he almost smashed the teacup in his hand, he drank it before the rain last year, it was less than April, and Master Lu asked him to find the front of tomorrow this spring!

Don't say that the new tea is still coming out now, even if it is, it is sky-high!

Why don't you say that I will procure two Qing officials to take you on the road to enjoy, it is really a lion who opened his mouth and took me for a fool.

But after scolding, Huo Zixing still called his third son and asked him to go to his father-in-law's tea house in person to ask if there was any Ming Qian this spring.

Huo San came back soon, and he already had it before the Ming Dynasty this spring, but it was only a few catties, and a tael of new tea cost a hundred taels of silver.

Huo Zixing almost turned his back on his anger, a hundred taels of silver and a tael of tea, do you think this is Fujian's big red robe?

The big red robe is a tribute, and you can't buy it with money, but your tea is a fart.

Huo San said: "Don't say it, there are already a few houses in Yangzhou that have come to order tea, all of them are cash silver, when my son went, Baotian next to Xiao Jiu happened to come out of it, and my son asked privately, and Baotian ordered two catties." ”

One catty of sixteen taels, two catties of tea is three thousand two hundred taels!

I've seen a loser, but I've never seen such a loser.

However, Huo Zixing also knows that every year when the new tea comes down, it is when the big merchants in Jiangnan show off their silver, the higher the price of the tea, the faster it sells, and these merchants buy tea, not necessarily for their own use, most of them are for gifts.

However, Xiao Jiu wants to buy tea, and eight or nine out of ten are his own drinks.

Such a small mongrel wants to drink a hundred taels of silver and a tael of tea?

Huo Zixing gritted his teeth and made up his mind, this business must be done, otherwise he can't even afford to deal with Master Lu, let alone the third master of the Wang family in the capital.

Without the support of the third master of the Wang family, how could he deal with Huo Rouyun? You can't just watch the big fortune in the second room fall into the hands of Xiao Jiu.

"Go, take two hundred taels of silver, buy two taels of tea and send them to Master Lu."
