Chapter 188: Gratitude is repaid
Qin Mingyue couldn't help asking, "Second sister-in-law, why did the Jiang family give me these?" That's a lot of money, isn't it? These floating riches alone are worth four or five hundred thousand taels of silver. Coupled with the shares of the Jiang family, it is normal to be worth one or two million taels. How can you give me such a big gift? But what difficulties did the Jiang family encounter? ”
"Well, if the Jiang family encounters difficulties, you can directly consult with the eldest brother and sister-in-law, if they can't solve it, tell me again, I won't shelter my own people, but if our own in-laws are bullied, I don't want to. However, I will not ask for this generous gift. ”
Hearing Qin Mingyue's refusal, Jiang Shan was a little embarrassed, she could only grit her teeth and spread out and said, "Second sister, you should know the situation of our Jiang family. Our Jiang family was originally a well-known merchant in Jin Province. It can not be said that it is the first business, but also one of the best, the family industry not only has a grange, a shop, but also a grain shop, a carriage and horse shop, a grocery store, a north and south goods store, a leather goods and silk shop, a money village, a silver building, a pawnshop and other businesses. The family has a large population and a big business, and my generation is already the fifth generation in business. ”
"Of course, there is some capital in the family, and there are also some popularity in Jin Province. Originally, we sat down and did business, but who would have thought that one thing would make my family almost doomed? Our family and the Qiao family, a local big businessman in Jin Province, have been intermarried for two generations. The Qiao family's business is also very large, and they also have a cooperative relationship with us, so they were fine. However, later, because of some things, the two families turned against each other. ”
"The capital of the Qiao family is still not as strong as our Jiang family, they fight with us everywhere in the business field, but they can't fight, so they turn to find outside relationships. I don't know how Qiao's family went. They actually caught up with the big official in the capital. Behind Lord He is His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who is a nobleman in the sky, and his disciples are all over the court and the opposition. It is our Jin Province, as well as the magistrates of several places where the Jiangnan business is located, are all under the disciples of the King of Jin. ”
"With the help of these local officials, our Jiang family's business has been hit in many ways, and even thought that my father was sent to prison for a procurement business. There was no way, so my two brothers and sisters-in-law and I supported ourselves and ran around to save not only the business, but also my father. ”
"There's a lot going on here, and it's not going well. It was at this time that we thought of coming to the capital to find a relationship. One of my aunts married to the capital. Her son, who was my cousin, was very clever and talented in reading, and he also went to study in the country. and Uncle are classmates and friends. ”
"My cousin found my uncle for our family's affairs, and after the uncle understood clearly and knew that it was indeed our Jiang family who was wronged, he not only helped us, but also felt that I had some talents, and seeing that I was the same age as my husband, he proposed this marriage with my brother."
"My brother thanked Uncle for his help, not only saved our Jiang family's business, cleared up our Jiang family's grievances, but also rescued my father, so he naturally agreed to this marriage."
"After the marriage, our Jiang family was very grateful, and sent gifts to the uncle many times, but the uncle just accepted some things, and did not accept a penny of silver. Our family had no choice but to decide to give me a generous dowry and marry into the Qin family as a thank you. ”
"As the news of my marriage spread, not only the officials who were sad about our Jiang family changed their faces before, but even officials outside Jin Province also treated our family with courtesy. As far as the root cause is concerned, it still depends on the face of the second sister. Especially this year, after the second sister officially became a national teacher, our Jiang family also followed. No one dares to detain and exploit our Jiang family anymore. Our business has gone a lot smoother, and our family's assets have become much richer. ”
"My father and brother and the clan elders are more and more trembling, they know that this is the light of the second sister, and they don't dare to take advantage of it in vain, so after discussing it, they decided to follow the example of the national teacher industry and give fifty percent of the family's income to my sister. In addition, those floating fortunes are a little bit of our Jiang family's gratitude to the Qin family for helping us get through the difficulties. Second sister, if you don't want me to be embarrassed, please accept it, right? ”
Only then did Qin Mingyue understand. In fact, she also learned something about the Jiang family from her eldest brother Qin Guosong before. Although the Jiang family is a family of businessmen, the family is relatively peaceful, never bullying others in business, and doing more good deeds. Considered a standard citizen. However, such a family was also cornered by Shi Fang. In her previous life, Qin Mingyue still knew some things about the Jiang family.
In the previous life, the Jiang family was targeted by Shi Fang, and in ten years, when He Fang became the prime minister, the family was finally ruined, not only the family wealth was scattered, but the people were basically dead. It's pitiful. Of course, it was replaced by the Qiao family, a big businessman in Jinzhong. In the previous life, the Qiao family and He Jinfang and several other big businessmen were all Shi Fang's money bags, but they did not add any obstacles to Qin Mingyue.
At that time, Qin Mingyue agreed with her brother to help the Jiang family, and she also had the idea of cutting off an arm for Shi Fang. In this life, Qin Mingyue can no longer cultivate Shi Fang and fight with herself. Therefore, these subordinates and capable generals of Shi Fang, she all thought of resolving them. For example, at the beginning, He Jinfang was taken under his command, and now, due to fate, he helped the Jiang family, so that the Qiao family could not dominate, all to deal with Shi Fang.
However, just like this, it still doesn't work, in the previous life, when Fang's subordinates, He Jinfang was more conscientious, although he provided a lot of money to Shi Fang, but he was still very regular in doing business. Unlike several other companies that specialize in making money from fish and meat, the people's grievances were boiling at that time in the Great Zhou, and they have a share of the credit. Therefore, Qin Mingyue didn't have any good feelings about the Qiao family who framed the Jiang family.
rescued the Jiang family, but also to support a businessman to fight against the Qiao family. It just so happened that Qin Guosong found out that Jiang Coral was a very capable girl through several contacts, so he was moved and wanted to tell his cousin. Qin Mingyue naturally agreed.
In the previous life, this wonderful and talented river coral in front of him is estimated to have no eggs under the nest, and there may not be a good end. In this life, although he married his second brother, the ending of the family was much better than the end of the previous life. Therefore, Qin Mingyue agreed to this marriage with peace of mind.
Now it seems that the Jiang family still has Jiang Sango, and they really have a conscience. Thanksgiving, or action. No, I just got married, and I'm still a bride, so I'm going to repay the favor.
Qin Mingyue said with a smile: "Although I heard the eldest brother talk about your family and the Qiao family, I don't know what it is. If the second sister-in-law is free, tell me about it. ”
