Chapter 487: Gathering (Part II)
In six years, seven million taels of silver, Xu Lingyi's outer courtyard was still short of money, and the second lady even sold her own pressing property when it was dangerous. I just don't know if the second lady sold the property before or after doing business?
Eleven Niang thought about it and said slowly: "Listen to your tone. After the emperor ascended the throne. Hou Ye took the initiative to cut off business. Didn't your father say anything?
A trace of confusion flashed in Aunt Wen's eyes, and she recalled: "My father still wanted to do business with Hou Ye for two years, but Hou Ye's intention has been decided. I went to Miaojiang to fight again, and my father didn't force it. ”
One million taels of silver a year, if you say you want it, you don't want it...
Some of the previous speculations are gradually coming to the surface.
"Is it that since then, the Wen family has been in the Jiangnan weaving business?" She looked at Aunt Wen.
Aunt Wen didn't answer immediately. Her face changed slightly. After a long time, he whispered "yes".
Eleven Niang helped her peel off the cocoon: "Congjingwen's family is just a business case of Puyong. Hou Ye can make a profit of millions every year. But after the business of Hou Ye and the Wen family was dismantled, the Wen family was able to get the business accumulated in Jiangnan.
I'm thinking, I don't know if it's Hou Ye's bad luck? Or is the Wen family's luck too good? If the business of Hou Ye and the Wen family continues, I am afraid that it will be more than one million profits every year, right?
Aunt Wen's heart was in a mess.
She always thought that her father had already obtained the Jiangnan weaving business, and Hou Ye was going to break up the gang in order to protect the greater interests of the family. Borrowing a hack downhill. took the opportunity to break up with Hou Ye. If not, how can it be......
Thinking of this, Aunt Wen was horrified!
Or, you simply thought it wrong.
She raised her face and looked at Eleven Niang.
Eleven Niang's gaze was calm and calm, and there was a kind of strength that Taishan dipped in front of and did not change color. She couldn't help grabbing Eleven Niang's hand: "When I was at my mother's house. What my father never forgot was the Jiangnan weaving business. He dismantled with Hou Ye in November, and got the Jiangnan weaving business in February of the following year. Others don't know. I know that. Don't say a million taels a year. Even if you make two or three million taels, it's not a problem. My father was a shrewd man. After breaking up with Hou Ye. once sent someone to talk to Hou Ye, but Hou Ye only said a word at that time. I'm no longer fit to do business, then. My father gave up. It's very different from my father's behavior. Later, I learned that my father had won the Jiangnan weaving business, and I thought that my father was trying to dominate this business. I think it's too risky for my father to do this...... To know. In a family like ours, a county order can bankrupt our family, and my father has the big tree of Hou Ye, and he will break up with Hou Ye. I also reminded my father about this. Father said with a smile at the time. There will be no loss to the Hou Ye. It's June. So he sent a silver ticket of 200,000 taels to ......."
Hear this. Eleven Niangcai changed color. She shook Aunt Wen's hand back: "Did Master Hou accept it?"
Aunt Wen looked at Eleven Niang timidly, and said, "No. Confiscate. I, I took it.
Eleven Niang condensed.
After a long while, he whispered, "Why are you so confused!
"I'm also upset for Master Hou." Aunt Wen argued in a low voice. In the end, his heart was weak, and he muttered. But. I didn't collect much, 200,000 taels a year. Compared with back then, it's just a drop in the bucket......
At the very least, it is useless to say more. Eleven Niang cares about other things.
"You collect money. Does Master Hou know? ”
"I didn't know when I was away from home for the first few years." Aunt Wen whispered. Later, when he found out, he said to me. If you really like to do business, you might as well open your own shop. If the Wen family asks for anything in front of him. He may not be able to do everything. I, I opened my own shop......
Eleven Niang's mind spun quickly.
Previously, Xu Lingyi also said that the emperor was going to clean up the Yang family. Then you have to enter the palace without worry. The second lady visited the Marquis of Yongchang privately on behalf of Mrs. Tai, and Xu Lingyi met Aunt Wen alone and asked her to end all the business...... Aunt Wen has been in business for so many years. It should be very clear how these ministers' families in Yanjing make money in private, right?
She asked Aunt Wen: "Yongchang Hou Huang family. What kind of business are you doing?
Aunt Wen didn't know what the purpose of this was when Eleven Niang asked at this time. Puzzled: "Their family has a quarry, and they do business with the Ministry of Works. It can also be 500,000 taels a year.
Eleven Niang was a little surprised. She originally thought that the Ji family was doing business in the army.
"It's not that most of the business of the Ministry of Industry is taken care of by the Yang family. So how could the Huang family be? ”
Talk about what you're good at. Aunt Wen had a few looks on her face: "The Yang family is the left hand in and the right hand out. By his own name. On one side of the goods from other houses on credit. On the one hand, he took over the business of the Ministry of Engineering, but in fact, he didn't need a penny. In addition, the money drawn by the Ministry of Industry can not be settled for the time being by those who supply the merchants, and it can be used for a few days in hand. Therefore, their family also put money in Yinzi, and it is the best reputation and the largest business in Yanjing, which is not only low in profit. And you can take it no matter how much you want to borrow. Old Marquis Huang has handed over all the affairs of the family to the prince in the past few years, but Huang Na only has an empty name there after all. The first few young camps of the prince were also very difficult. He also borrowed a good son from Hou Ye to turn around. But somehow. Suddenly caught up with the Yang family. began to supply stones to the Yang family, and life has only become more prosperous in the past few years.
Eleven Niang listened and pondered for a moment, and simply made the words clear to Aunt Wen: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after the Hou Ye came out of the palace. Mrs. Tai immediately sent the second lady to bring food to the Huang family, and then Master Hou listened to you again. Aunt Wen is a smart person. Also help me think about it. Could there be any connection between this? I've heard people say that. In recent years, the Wen family has been competing with the Yang family for the business of the Internal Affairs Office. I just don't know how it's going...... There are also the 200,000 taels of silver that the Wen family gives every year, Hou Ye should have done a lot of things for the Wen family over the years, right? I don't know if the Wen family has been the same in the past two years, and if there is anything, they will come to ask Hou Ye ......"
Aunt Wen sweated when she heard her sideburns.
She said in a warm voice: "I'll just say...... Since the death of my father. Why did the third brother repeatedly owe me the money? Sometimes I was asked to ask Hou Ye to help me do one or two things before I sent the silver...... These two pieces are rarely visited. The third sister-in-law acted, and her tone became bigger and bigger. Sometimes it will come out of nowhere, and if it doesn't work, give money, and turn around......" At this point, she suddenly stood up. No way. I have to ask Qiuhong to inquire about this. Let's see which business the Wen family has taken over from the Ministry of Internal Affairs......"
Eleven Niang thought about the cause and effect of this incident.
Xu Lingyi knew before that the emperor was going to clean up the Yang family. On the first day of the new year, after seeing the emperor, I let my aunt do business, and gave a deadline to Aunt Wen. Is it because the emperor said something? Or did the emperor warn Xu Lingyi? Otherwise, why is it so urgent? And. Xu Lingyi was very disgusted that the people around her took over the business of the Internal Affairs Office. If Wen Yu has any collusion with the Yang family, he will be Xu Jinyi's person. It is impossible not to know. Now that you know. It's impossible not to warn about it. And Aunt Wen knew the seriousness of this matter. It's not that the Wen family has taken over the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Instead, let Qiuhong inquire about which part of the business of the Internal Affairs Office she had taken over. Other words. The Wen family is doing the business of the Internal Affairs Office, and they are doing the business of the Internal Affairs Office despite Xu Lingyi's objections.
She grabbed Aunt Wen's arm: "After your father died, is this third brother of yours in charge?" Is he close to Master Hou? ”
Aunt Wen was stunned for a moment and thought about it. Embarrassed and said a little pale: "It's not that the third brother doesn't want to get close to Hou Ye, but Hou Ye, it's not a big general to see the people of the Wen family"... The third brother came to see Hou Ye in a low voice several times. Hou Ye hung the third brother in the gatehouse......"
Eleven Niang smiled bitterly when she heard this. said: "If the Wen family's business wasn't so big, and your third brother was hung in the concierge by Yongping Hou, I'm afraid you wouldn't feel inferior, right?" ”
Aunt Wen's face turned even paler.
Eleven Niang looked at Aunt Wen and said softly: "The matter has come to this, Master Hou can't control it, let alone you." You still listen to Hou Ye's words and hurry up and put the shop on the plate! The Wen family's side. You just do your daughter's duty to hand over a sound. There are some things that you don't have to force. As for how those guys are settled, it is better to invite Master Hou to discuss the amount of education......"
Her voice didn't fall. Aunt Wen's bean-sized hole beads have fallen: "My mother...... He was also raised by his brothers...... There is also a nurse, I asked her to stay in Yanjing, but she refused, so she had to go back to serve my mother...... And my brother. I also followed back to Yangzhou...... "Speaking of which, I am even more sad. Finally hid his face and cried bitterly.
Eleven Niang sighed helplessly, and gave her a cup of tea to cry. Then he patted Aunt Wen on the shoulder: "Without further ado." You have to plan ahead!
Aunt Wen looked up. The flawless makeup made Forry cry.
She sobbed blankly, "So, then what should I do?" "It's a mess.
Eleven Niang didn't know what the situation had developed and what Xu Lingyi was planning. Naturally, it's hard to get an idea. can only say: "Or, let's invite Hou Ye here?" Something. Make it clear to your face. You have a bottom in your heart about what you should do. I also have a plan......"
Aunt Wen listened. Nodding like a chicken pecking rice, he grabbed Eleven Niang's hand as if he had grabbed driftwood: "Madam. It's up to you. "Talking. The cave began to cry like rain." I will never forget Madame's great kindness for the rest of my life......
Eleven Niang is embarrassed. Can't help but laugh at yourself. I will be remembered for the rest of my life. It can't be an easy thing to do......
She turned around and called Bin Ju, and asked Bin Ju to tell Fangxi to invite Xu Lingyi over.
Xu Lingyi came faster than she thought. See Aunt Wen. Started to be a little surprised. But soon calm returned.
It seems that Aunt Wen should have come to me.
Eleven Niang made tea for Xu Lingyi, and brought a handle to prepare to avoid it. Xu Lingyi stopped her: "Something. Listen to it too!
