Who knew that the third lady shook her head and said:

"This is not true, this kind of thing, we Jingguo Mansion gatekeepers, we can't say it. But now the eldest young master wants to invest in a few shops and needs silver as the capital, and your eldest wife wants to pull your brother into the shares. ”

After bowing his head and thinking about it, Ah Yan said puzzledly:

"The eldest young master is now in the age of a weak crown, if he wants to do business, he would have done it earlier, why delay it until today? Besides, my brother is only thirteen years old, at such a young age, he is busy going to school every day, where does he have time to mess around with the eldest young master?"

In the previous life, this eldest young master was an unprofessional person, who could listen to music and enjoy singing and dancing, and also learned some sumo wrestling with idle people, but if he talked about studying and learning etiquette, and settling down, he would not be able to. At that time, there were many gangs of idlers who settled down, fighting cocks and lackeys, kicking balloons in their spare time, and no one was making a living. Later, his brother followed him, and he didn't go to school seriously, he fell behind in his studies, and the imperial examination was hopeless, so he simply relied on his foreign family to do some business, and he went back and forth to lose a clean light, and lived a miserable life.

The third lady stroked Ah Yan's hair, held her and said:

"My son, you didn't understand, but now that the situation in the Guogong Mansion is getting worse, the ancestors are also worried, and your eldest wife has just come up with this method. Now that Ah Song is young, he happens to take the capital to buy shares, and let the eldest young master move around in everything, if he makes money, he will say that it will be divided equally. In this way, it also solves the dilemma in the house, and it also gives birth to more silver from the silver we have on hand. ”

Hearing this, Ah Yan sneered more and more, what kind of silver can he earn with the virtue of the eldest young master? Besides, why should they take out the silver in the third room to pour it for him, if he earns it at that time, he will naturally be bored. If you lose all your money, who will be responsible?

Ah Yan blinked his eyes and asked with a smile, "I don't know how much capital the eldest young master wants?"

Sighing again, the third lady said: "I said that I would first ask for 100,000 taels and invest in a few shops." ”

100,000 taels?!

Taking a deep breath, Ayan steadied himself.

In her previous life, she played hard, never paid attention to it, and her mother never told her.

Now that I think about it, their house actually began to fall at this time!

100,000 taels of votes, lose money, and then ask for some additional capital, continue to lose, such a bottomless pit, over time, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't bear it!

And his mother is an unassertive person, who only knows how to blindly please his ancestors and eldest wife, and his brother is also a hot man who doesn't know how to make a living.

Thinking of this, Ah Yan rubbed in his mother's arms, raised his head, looked at his mother seriously, and said, "Mother, Ah Yan thinks that we shouldn't do business with Dafang. ”

Ah Yan's eyes were born very well, the white ones were like mercury, and the black ones were like a black pearl, crystal clear and clear to the end. The third wife looked at her daughter's clear eyes, but felt that there seemed to be a different wisdom and composure in them.

Holding her daughter, the third wife said puzzledly:

"Ah Yan, why not?"

Ah Yan tilted his head and made an innocent smile, and then he broke the thin white fingers and said the same to his mother:

"Mother also thought, if Ah Yan wants a face, should he take the silver and go to the silver building to pick a style to play well, or give the silver to others and let others buy it?"

This is not difficult, the third wife said:

"Naturally, I took the silver to pick and choose, and outsiders bought it, where did I pick it to my heart's content. ”

Nodding, Ayan smiled and said:

"Ah Yan is still young, although he doesn't know how to do business, but he thinks that building a head is still like this, and this business is the same. To create a head, outsiders to buy, whether it is satisfactory or not to mention for the time being, short of catties and short two, secretly swallowed, this is naturally impossible to prevent. If you think about it a little deeper, it was those minions who created a fake picture for us, only wrapped in a layer of gold on the outside, but lead and silver on the inside, and you and I may not know. ”

Listening to these words, the third wife was quite touched, after all, the third wife was born in a businessman, and after thinking about it for a while, she said:

"The eldest young master is naturally not that kind of slave. ”

With another sneer in his heart, Ah Yan raised his eyebrows and said:

"The eldest young master may not be willing to do such a heart-wrenching thing, but now that the big house is short of silver, I am afraid that even maids like Xiqing know it. They ask for silver, and we have white silver in our room, so how can they not be greedy? Now if my mother takes a hundred thousand taels of silver out, anyone who looks at it will be greedy. If it is earned, we don't know how much we have earned, and if it is lost, who knows how the money was made and where it went. ”

Ah Yan analyzed the Tao at the head, and the third wife listened, but she was quite frightened, and finally sighed, and said helplessly:

"Having said that, since your father left, you and I have been orphans and widows in this Jingguo Mansion, and we have no support, and we have not relied on the dignity of this Mansion. Let's not say that this country's mansion has lost its dignity, and we have no shame on our faces, that is, we have offended our ancestors, and I am afraid that we will not have a good face to give us. ”

In fact, the third wife said this, Ah Yan had already thought about it, and then she said:

"Mother, although we are dependent on the Guogong Mansion to live, we can't use the silver of our three houses to subsidize such a large family, even if there is a mountain of gold and silver, we can't make up for it. In fact, now, the Guogong Mansion has lost its dignity, so what can it be, it can't worry about us, isn't it, there are still ancestors, eldest ladies and princesses Ning in front. ”

After saying this, the third lady said that there was a dark color in her eyes, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Ah Yan made persistent efforts and said with a smile:

"Besides, my brother is now thirteen years old, and in a few years, he will be able to take charge of the portal. His mother was well-educated, and after a few years, she married a relative to him, and she also accepted her temperament. From now on, our family has lived a good life, but I am afraid that we will not be able to live well? When the time comes, if we want to go to school, my brother will work hard. If you want to do business, it is better to let your brother follow your cousin to learn at that time than to hand over the silver to the eldest young master now. ”

Ayan's business is now very large, and his cousin is only fifteen years old, but he has already traveled from south to north, and he doesn't know how many transactions he has handled. Such a person naturally will not look down on the dowry of the girl who marries, but will think of a way to help.

It's a pity that in the last life, not long before Ayan got married, this uncle suffered because he was involved in a case and was raided. Because of this, Ayan's mother had internal troubles and was exhausted, and she became seriously ill within a few years.

Thinking of this, Ah Yan's eyes were gloomy.

Her uncle and cousin are very fond of herself, and she must remember to be cautious in this life, and remind her uncle that she must not make friends with people who should not befriend, lest she be innocently implicated and worship the family business.

You may not have understood it before, but Ayan can see clearly who is really good for you.

"Son, it's hard for you to think so much about your little child's family, my mother never thought about it before!" the third lady hugged her daughter in her arms and sighed, but she agreed with her daughter's opinion in her heart.

It's just that the eldest lady is full of expectations, and she refuses this matter, I'm afraid that she will have to suffer some hardships.

When the two of them were talking, they heard a young man hurrying outside, thirteen years old, born with a strong body, wasn't it Ayan's brother Gu Song.

At this time, although this brother was only thirteen years old, he was already an adult, tall and strong. Ah Yan knew that in a few years, he would be able to rise even higher, which ordinary people couldn't match.

At this time, this Gu Song saw Ah Yan, but he smiled: "Looking at my sister's complexion, it's very good." ”

Seeing this brother at first glance, Ah Yan also felt kind in his heart, so he raised his head from his mother's arms, looked at him with a smile and said:

"Look at my brother, in this early spring season, I actually sweated profusely, where did this come from?"

As he spoke, he asked his mother, "Shouldn't I be in school today? Why did my brother run back now?"

Who knew that this Gu Song was sitting there, picked up the cold tea on the side, and drank it in a big gulp, saying as he drank:

"Mr. today has something to do, a group of students are making a lot of noise in the school, so I'll come back first. ”

"Now that you're back, you should go back to study for a good life, but you don't want to read, and it's good to practice a few words, so you don't have to run here again to make trouble. Now that your sister is old, she shouldn't be so unruly. "The third wife has always doted on her daughter, but now she teaches her son a lesson.

Gu Song felt aggrieved: "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, but now I'm just here to see it." ”

Saying this, he put down the tea and said, "Why is this tea different from the past?"

"This tea was specially brought by your cousin Ah Yi, saying that it was called Longtuan Shengxue, I don't know how much effort it took to make it, and only a few of it were produced, and I kept a little to drink. Not to mention outside, even in the palace, these are all rare things. The third lady said with a smile.

Gu Song actually didn't understand tea, but he barely knew that the taste of tea was different from usual, and when he heard this, he thought of his cousin Ah Yi, but said:

"Mother, when will I not go to school, and follow Ah Yi to go south and north. ”

"Phew, you can't make a thing, let you go to school, that's the serious business of our big family, why do you just want to go south and north to do business?"

"Your father left early, and you are an ignorant person, but let me die of sorrow!" he said, wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

Gu Songwan didn't expect that he would provoke his mother like this with just a few words, and he didn't know what to do, standing there for a while, he didn't know what to do.

Ah Yan understood in her heart that her mother was thinking of the eldest young master's desire to partner in business, and she made up her mind to refuse, thinking of the white eyes she was going to suffer from the eldest lady and the ridicule of her ancestors, and she was afraid that she was sad.

It's just that now that he and his brother are young, it is difficult to stand on their own, so I can't bear it, so I just leaned over, comforted my mother softly, and wiped my mother's tears with a handkerchief:

"Mother, don't cry, Ayan heard that her mother specially made a new spring dress for Ayan, and she was about to try it to see if it looked good. ”

Putting away her tears, the third wife was also a little embarrassed, she didn't expect to cry in front of her children, her eyes were red at the moment, and she said with a smile:

"I've made several of them for you, you can try them all. ”

Ah Yan smiled with a smile:

"I love new clothes the most, and my mother is so nice. When he said this, he rubbed in the arms of the third lady like a puppy, which made the third lady happy.

"My sister was originally good-looking, so naturally she looked good in everything. Gu Song saw that his mother was happy, so he hurriedly flattered his mother and pleased his mother.
