Chapter 171: Brother

The money handed over to him in the name of the second wife of Shang said that it was the dowry of the second wife of Shang, but who didn't know that the money was the Zhao family, and the money for the dividends was also to be handed over to the Zhao family.

Just as Shang Mingyuan also invested a sum of money with Xiao Fang's "dowry", who doesn't know that the money is the private money of the husband and wife?

The money is just the hand of Mrs. Shang's second wife, who knows how much will be left for him after that?

It's not that she didn't do a good job of this kind of thing, she always has all kinds of reasons to deduct it, he and Xiao Fang's are juniors, when grandmother and mother don't speak, they can't fight if they want to.

So this time he simply took away his share of the dividend before coming back, if she asked, he would drag it out, Shang Mingyuan didn't believe that she dared to ask him for money without a clear face?

Shang Mingyuan took his share of the dividend, and was so happy to throw the matter of accounting to Mrs. Shang's second wife, and he was also very considerate to send a copy to his grandmother, so that she could also help take a look at it and guide him.

In his words, "Grandmother, you've traveled more than I've ever eaten salt, and this time the price of food is so dangerous that my grandson will die." Only then did my grandson find out that he was not experienced enough, and he couldn't compare to your grandmother's foresight, so you can help me look at the accounts to see what my grandson is not doing well, so that my grandson can change it as soon as possible, so as not to suffer losses in the future. ”

Old Madam Shang was very useful for his compliment, touched his hair and smiled: "Good boy, you have done a good job, your father will only cause trouble when he is so old as you." But after all, I am young and can't hold my breath, and I will tell you when my grandmother shows you. ”

"Thank you, grandmother!" Shang Mingyuan looked at his grandmother with admiration, and happily obeyed her order, "Go down and rest for a while", and let his grandmother and second aunt fight for this batch of silver.

Shang Mingyuan divided the souvenirs brought back from southern Xinjiang and picked out two of the most exquisite ones and packed them in boxes.

Seeing that he was so careful, Xiao Fang's couldn't help but say, "Yo, who is this for, and I specially picked a box." ”

Shang Mingyuan glanced at her and said, "There is less yin and yang, this is for Aunt Lin and Cousin Lin." ”

He turned his head and glanced her up and down and said, "Go pick out your clothes, and Ming'er will follow me to meet Aunt Lin." ”

Xiao Fang was stunned for a moment and asked, "You just came back, why don't you have to rest for a few days, why do you want to visit Aunt Lin?" ”

Shang Mingyuan glanced out twice, pulled his wife to his side and whispered, "Do you guess why we were so lucky this time and just escaped this catastrophe?" ”

"Because of what?"

"Because of Aunt Lin," Shang Mingyuan lowered his voice and said, "I was scolded by her on the first day before I left, so I decided to leave early, who knew that my luck was so good, and I just escaped a catastrophe." ”

Shang Mingyuan felt scared just thinking about it, this batch of grain was invested in all the cash of the Shang family, all the grain from the farm this year, and a large amount of money was borrowed, as well as the money that he and his wife had accumulated for so many years, once they lost money......

Shang Mingyuan shuddered, he had always been timid, but during that time, he was as excited as taking medicine, and he didn't care about buying food at all.

If Lin Qingwan hadn't scolded him for his desire for profit, he wouldn't have come back to his senses.

"This is the first one, we have to thank her well, and there is another one," Shang Mingyuan lowered his voice and said almost inaudibly: "I sent all our money to her, and we have to count on her to make money in the future." ”

Xiao Fang's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but reach out and twist the flesh on his body and said, "I said, why haven't I heard from my Zhuangzi, it turns out that you didn't send the money there." ”

Shang Mingyuan hissed, grabbed his wife's hand and said, "Tap, tap, you're going to screw me to death, send the money to your Zhuangzi, who can hide this?" Do you really want to do anything right under their eyes? ”

Xiao Fang let go of him, glared at him viciously and asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Shang Mingyuan smiled and asked with a low smile, "Do you know how much money you made outside this time?" ”

Xiao Fang glanced at him and asked, "How much?" ”

Shang Mingyuan stretched out his hand and compared a number, and looked at her with smug eyes.

Xiao Fang's eyes widened slowly, and she opened her mouth for half a sound before she reacted, she covered her mouth and screamed silently.

Shang Mingyuan also looked up to the sky and laughed silently, then he looked at his wife happily and said: "This is the silver that we can't save for ten years, do you still want to move some from the public school when you are housekeeper like before, and I will get some from the shop?" It's all a small fight, and ten years of fishing can't compare to what I earned in half a year. ”

Xiao Fang's family held his chest for a long time before he recovered, and asked in a low voice, "Then what do you want to do, split up?" ”

Shang Mingyuan smiled, "If I can divide the family, I need to be so careful?" ”

Xiao Fang's family was a little disappointed, in fact, like her husband, she now looks down on this title, and thinks that it is better to split the family list, at least she can do the affairs of the family by herself.

Regardless of the family, they have to ask the elders what they do, and her serious mother-in-law doesn't care about anything at all, and she thinks about the title wholeheartedly.

How old is the sister-in-law, she is in a hurry as a sister-in-law, but her mother-in-law doesn't care at all, and her mother-in-law only has a second room, and she doesn't care about the life or death of the big house.

Shang Mingyuan remembered the bad things at home, his excitement faded a little, and he said softly: "It was my sister's idea to send the silver to Aunt Lin, I thought of asking Aunt Lin for a grace and asking her to sell us the brocade silk and silk woven by her family, and we could make a profit by changing hands." ”

He reached out and touched Xiao Fang's belly, and whispered: "Our child is about to be born, we have to prepare something for him, and my sister also has to say goodbye, it will cost a lot of money." ”

Xiao Fang held his hand, her heart was a little sweet, and she said happily: "I listen to you." ”

The next day, Shang Mingyuan brought souvenirs and led Xiao Fang's family to visit the Lin family's courtyard, and when he saw Shang Mingjie sitting in the courtyard and writing hard, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

I patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Why did you come here early in the morning and didn't see you at home last night?" ”

"Big brother, are you back?" Shang Mingjie looked up and smiled when he saw him, "I have only been back with my husband and classmates for two days, and my mother thinks that I am involved in the price of food, so I won't go back for the time being to make her angry, and I am living in Wenyuan recently." ”

Shang Mingjie looked Shang Mingyuan up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had not changed except for being a little thinner and darker, "I heard that southern Xinjiang is still in chaos, is the eldest brother still safe along the way?" ”

Shang Mingyuan knew that Lin Yubin was resting today, so he asked Xiao Fang's family to go to the backyard to see her first, Lin Qingwan was in the weaving workshop, and she was not at home at all.

So Shang Mingyuan sat next to Shang Mingjie and looked at the things he wrote, although he didn't like to read, but he could still understand these things, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and said: "You are really writing agricultural books." ”

He flipped through it, and suddenly his eyes widened, "Why is it that even the price of food is written?" ”

"This is also something closely related to people's livelihood, and since I know it, I naturally want to write it in."

Shang Mingyuan turned over and sighed in surprise, "No wonder the second aunt scolded you, it turns out that the price of food has risen and you have to do it." ”

Shang Mingjie's face flushed, and he hurriedly shook his hand and said, "How can I have such a ability, my husband took us to do it." ”

The price of grain plummeted, and many small grain merchants were eager to sell their grain, so Lu Su simply took them out, county by county, and talked to those small grain merchants and retail investors, so that they could temporarily suppress their hands and not rush to sell, and finally the imperial court would buy them back at a fair price.

To this end, he also led the students to negotiate with the money banks that lent money, and persuaded them to tolerate the small grain merchants and not force them to repay the loans immediately because of the collapse in food prices.

Only then did the small grain merchants have a chance to breathe, and when the big grain merchants came to the door to lower the grain price and buy grain, they gritted their teeth and did not sell, and finally waited for the court officials to come to the door.

After the grain price incident subsided, everyone naturally knew what Lu Su did with the students in the Lu family's school, and those people didn't dare to hate the court, so they naturally hated these people to grit their teeth.

Mrs. Shang was also very angry when she found out, the bear child didn't know that their family would lose money because of the collapse in food prices, so she even ran to push it.

So when Shang Mingjie came home from the outside experience, he was scolded head-on.

Shang Mingjie didn't agree with his mother's opinion, and he couldn't stand her tears, so he could only hide out, otherwise what if his mother was even more angry?

Shang Mingjie wanted to live in the Lin family's courtyard, but Lin Qingwan has always paid attention to this aspect and never left people a handle, so even if Shang Mingjie looked pitiful, she still drove people to Wenyuan to live in a thatched house.

However, he will still come here to write books after school and rest, not only because there are many books here and he can look up information, but also because there is Uncle Chen here, if he has any questions, he can also ask for advice.

Shang Mingyuan flipped through the manuscript he had put in his hand, looked up at this cousin carefully, and saw that the immaturity on his face had gradually disappeared and had become a little tough, he couldn't help but sigh: "The second brother has also changed a lot. ”

He became a little jealous and scared.

Shang Mingjie still smiled as innocently as before, "Hasn't the eldest brother changed?"

Shang Mingyuan smiled indifferently, "Your eldest brother and I won't have anything to do in this life, where can we change again?" Unlike you, who is still young, and can read, there are more opportunities. ”

Shang Mingyuan patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Second brother, the Shang family will rely on you in the future." ”

"Big brother, don't say that," Shang Mingjie said with a straight face: "My brother thinks that reading is not as good as me, but I don't know that I also think that I am inferior to my brother, so don't be presumptuous." Aunt Lin has a good saying, there is no distinction between high and low occupations in this world, what kind of farmers and businessmen, it is just imposed by people, in order to rule. ”

Shang Mingjie said unconcernedly: "If one day the emperor is replaced by a businessman, then for him, it must be the first ...... businessman."

Shang Mingyuan's eyes widened, he reached out to cover his mouth, looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about, this is what Aunt Lin taught you, oops, you kid, although Aunt Lin is powerful, you can't listen to her ...... everything"
