Chapter 18: The Outer Family
Zhu Youning rubbed his cheeks and grinned: "It turns out that Daddy understands everything in his heart, but he just doesn't bother to fight with them." ”
"Where did you learn to be so flamboyant?"
Although Zhu Huating said this, he liked Zhu Youning's changes very much in his heart, his daughter has grown up and is sensible, and now he has his own industry to protect himself, and he can finally rest assured......
Zhu Huating squatted down and looked at Zhu Youning levelly, and said in a low voice: "Although my father is dedicated to his career and doesn't care much about the affairs of the Zhu family, he also knows some things, and some things are told to you, I hope you can pay attention carefully." ”
"Yes. Daddy, please. Zhu Youning straightened his expression and looked at Zhu Huating with a serious face.
Zhu Huating touched her head and said, "Today's events are for my father to look at coldly, these inheritances distributed by your grandfather should have been decided a long time ago, and even in the end, who gets which one, or it may have been decided." Your sudden appearance disrupted your grandfather's plans, and only then did he temporarily add a master and a pair of assets to you.
"Your grandfather didn't want you to participate in the competition, and he didn't look down on us, so he should also choose those that are not very profitable or difficult to give you the industry, and when you completely mess up in a year, he will have a reason to take it back justifiably."
Zhu Youning nodded, "What my father said is reasonable. ”
Mrs. Zhu is indeed this kind of person, but what his father said is not entirely right. She thinks that Mrs. Zhu, a mercenary person, does not necessarily have to prohibit her from managing the industry, but just looks down on her, thinking that she will not have any good means, if she can show her usefulness, Mrs. Zhu will also be "eclectic" in employing people.
Zhu Huating saw that Zhu Youning listened to the words, so he bowed his head with relief, and said: "Zhu family money village is also a father has also heard of it, Qian Zhuang only some relatives of the family deposit the money in on weekdays, the shopkeeper will record the accounts clearly, explain the loss, and wait until someone comes to collect it with the certificate."
"To put it bluntly, Zhujia Qianzhuang is just a warehouse for storing silver coins, and there is no profit at all. Your grandfather gave it to you, and it seems like a big business in the name of a bank, but after a year, you will definitely not be able to make a profit from it. ”
I see.
No wonder Zhu Huazhang and his cousins had that expression just now.
According to Zhu Youning's observation during this period, although the imperial court issued treasure banknotes, it only issued but did not collect, and only collected grain for taxation, which caused a serious depreciation of treasure banknotes.
However, gold, silver and copper coins will also cause great loss when they are circulated. Especially when storing, it is almost common for copper coins to rust. This is a norm that everyone agrees to have, but there is no way to solve it. And all the money banks in Da Zhou should be like the Zhu family money bank, just for storage.
"Daddy, I see. What about the Zhujia Cloth Factory? ”
Zhu Huating said: "The specific operation of the Zhujia cloth factory is not known to my father, but the shopkeeper of the cloth factory is good friends with your grandfather, and the work of my father's bookkeeping on the dock two days ago was stirred up by the shopkeeper Sun, and his second man also came to our house to ask you to be his child daughter-in-law, and you kicked him out." ”
"Oh!" Zhu Youning stretched out his voice and said with interest, "It turned out to be them." It's going to be fun. ”
"Silly girl, it's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and those shopkeepers are not good looks, especially when we have a relationship with the Sun family, you have to be very careful."
"Knowing Daddy, I won't be bullied, it's really not good, isn't there still you, afraid of something."
Zhu Huating touched Zhu Youning's head with a smile, he didn't know where his daughter's confidence in him came from.
When the father and daughter returned home, the servants and maids of the Zhu family they met along the way changed their previous indifference and became extremely respectful.
Especially when they returned to the rented courtyard, Mrs. Li and Zhu Laosan's family seemed to be a different person, as if they didn't do the things that were deliberately embarrassing.
Zhu Huating politely refused the banquet invitation of Mrs. Li and others, and after eating with Zhu Youning, they chatted as usual, and when they were tired, they rested.
Zhu Youning lay on the wooden bed, looked sideways at the wall and recalled today's things, even if the situation of the industry is not good, as long as she has the right to operate, she still has the hope of struggle, not to mention that the conditions at home can also be properly improved, and she also has a goal to strive for.
The initial fear and hesitation have long since been replaced by confidence and determination.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Zhu Youning slept lazily, and when he got up, Zhu Huating was no longer at home.
Zhu Youning saw that her father had already boiled porridge for him, boiled eggs, and shredded pickles, and put them on the table, and she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
After eating, he found that his father hadn't come back yet, so Zhu Youning guessed, maybe Zhu Huating went out to find a job?
But not long after, Mrs. Li's eager voice came from outside the door: "Miss Nine, Miss Nine!" ”
"What's wrong?" Zhu Youning looked at the door strangely.
Mrs. Li wiped the sweat that ran out, and said like a cannon: "Just now the slave maid was chatting with someone, and some people said that they saw that the eldest master had just walked in the direction of the Bai family, and his spirit was still a little trance-like, and the slave maid felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly came to tell Miss Nine." ”
My father went to my grandfather to get my mother out!
Zhu Youning immediately figured out the key.
When he received his mother's letter, the reason why his father did not act immediately was probably because he knew that he was not sure of everything, so he did not act immediately in order to support her.
Now that she has shown her talent in the competition, has an industry, and has the ability to protect herself, her father is relieved to save her mother.
But if my father goes to the Bai family, I'm afraid he will be half-crippled if he doesn't die!
In the eyes of Old Lady Bai, his father is already an ant, he will never listen to his father's reasoning, and it is more likely that he will order someone to beat him out of chaos when they meet, and even worse, he may deliberately give him a disability, so that his mother will completely die to him!
The more Zhu Youning thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she hurriedly grabbed the money bag that her father gave her last night and walked out quickly, hired a carriage, and because she didn't know the way, she could only inquire all the way to the rich businessman Bai's house.
The weather was humid, it had just rained, the road was very muddy, and I had to ask people, and it took a lot of time before the carriage stopped in front of the archway at the corner of the street.
Zhu Youning paid for the withdrawal and rushed all the way through the archway.
As soon as I turned the corner, I saw that there were already a lot of people in front of the door of a house, and some people shook their heads and sighed, sighing with emotion such as "It's too miserable" and "It's really pitiful".
Zhu Youning was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, his head was buzzing, his eyes were bursting with flowers, he couldn't hear anything clearly, and he couldn't see clearly, so he only ran in the direction of the crowd stiffly with instinct.
Don't let her see her father being beaten and his bones and tendons broken! Don't!
She just had parents who loved her, and she hadn't enjoyed enough fatherly love!
