Or is it said that this chapter is sweating again, this time it exaggerates 20,000 words, and then it can't be uploaded...... Lying.

It is not possible to use the amendment method, but only to split the chapter. Crying, crying, I made a special effort to make up sixteen chapters. Roll and roll.

Regardless of this, it is called 16. (Twist your head and bite the handkerchief.) ）

The following text

On July 24, the 19th year of Yongning, Zheng Ji salt tea shop on Meixi Street, Jinzhou Mansion

Although it is called salt tea, it neither sells salt nor tea, but it is only used by the people of Jinzhou to refer to a slightly more advanced daily necessities, salt tea is not less than firewood and rice, and firewood and rice are no one can live, but salt tea is only indispensable in the life of people with a little family background, and it is also a luxury for the poor people at the bottom. Because Jinzhou is close to the south of the handicraft industry, the border trade of the Southern Xia country is prosperous, most of the salt tea shops are doing the wholesale business of the second dealers, and the southern goods are sold and sold to the merchants to the Daqin Zhuzhou, and the salt tea shops are also foreign trade wholesale shops.

In the first 30 years ago, when it came to the Zhengjia family in Jinzhou Prefecture, no one in the southeast business community knew that 15 shops accounted for half of the southern goods business of Jinzhou Prefecture. Although the Zheng family has a lot of wealth, the heirs are withered, and the single has been passed down to Mrs. Zheng for several generations, but it is completely extinct, and only two daughters are left. He was born free and easy, completely ignoring the pointing behind the backs of others, and he was not only a close tribe to follow, but also refused to adopt an adopted son, and only raised two girls to be * people. All the family property and the daughter made a dowry.

The two daughters were divided into six shops, and the remaining three shops were divided into three after the sale of the family's real estate and fields, and the old man took this one to support the elderly, and the rest were equally divided with them. Later, when Miss Zheng Er came out of the cabinet. For the state where the shop was sold cheaply and the silver was married. In this way, there are only six of Miss Zheng's shops left in Jinzhou Mansion.

It is also bizarre to say that the merchants only recognize Zheng Ji? These six shops are much better than those that were sold, and they are so angry for a year, two years, years, and ten years, that many people are so angry that they can't stare at them.

Originally, this business was red, and I didn't know what wind was blowing in the imperial court, and Lord Mei was lifted from power. As soon as the new adults took office, they will crack down on them in an all-round way. Speaking of which, everyone is more or less entrained, and the new adults who are hiding are selfless, and under the selfless inspection, a lot of goods have been confiscated, and this little official and businessman have arrested a lot. As a result, the price of goods began to rise all the way, and many businesses in the two countries were waiting and watching, and border trade was greatly affected.

The general environment is like this, and Zheng Ji is naturally not spared. This doesn't make it into July. Business is getting better and worse day by day, and there is no end to it, and it is still good around the 15th Midyear Festival, and the big guys are going to pass when the wind is coming. Who knows how difficult it will be in the future.

Early this morning, Fan Feng, the shopkeeper of Zheng Ji's salt tea shop and Mei Xi branch, came to the shop, but this time, he saw that there were still no people on the three poles. Fan Feng flipped through the account book on the counter and began to worry, there was no one at all, I was afraid that it would be difficult to open today, and I counted with my fingers, there were only a few days left in this month, and the accounts were reported at the end of the month. I have to be picked up by the chief steward.

Meixi Street is the largest southern goods trading street in Jinzhou Prefecture, and the Meixi branch is also the one with the most ordinary inputs, if he can't see anything here, I'm afraid that it will be in vain. However, this did not bring him psychological balance, but the more pressure it became, because the chief steward would definitely say, "I pointed to you to count." See now?! ”。 He took the silver and exchanged it for a "capable" hat, and was promoted, if these two words could not be kept.......

"Alas...... It's hard......" he let out a long sigh. The ledger was thrown aside, and he walked around the shop with his hands behind his back.

When he was in a state of melancholy, a young man suddenly ran in and opened his mouth and shouted, "Shopkeeper!" Shopkeeper's! ”

"The Venerable Master?!" Fan Feng saw that it was a young man who welcomed the guests, so he was happy and hurriedly asked.

"It's not!" The young man gasped and said, "It's Ning Da Steward who is coming here!" And with a lot of people! Look...... It's not good......"

"Old Ningtou?" Fan Feng frowned.

This Ning Da Steward Ning Ao is the big shopkeeper of the Jinzhou branch of Nian Shoutang, and Yin Xun belongs to the same palace as Yin Xun, who is not only the old lady's confidant, but also has been operating in Jinzhou for decades, and is implicitly the steward of the Jinzhou Nian family. The old man is the most upright and stubborn, a few years ago, he and the fifth old man had a quarrel because of the pharmacy pouring medicine, and the fifth old man was angry with the crown, he actually did not show weakness, but also put down the cruel words, only listened to the old lady's anger, so that the fifth master returned to Beijing with a letter, and wanted to ask for the New Year's Shoutang. It's a pity that the relationship between the two deteriorated before it arrived, and when it was time to go to ask for peace during the New Year's holiday, Ning Ao only said that he was sick and beat people to give gifts, but he wouldn't come to the door at all; And the family of the fifth master doesn't even need the doctor of Nian Shoutang to ask for peace and security, these stewards in his hands are only the big steward, Wan Yi and the chief steward Gong Ji are respectful to Ning Ao, and others stand firmly beside their masters, completely hostile, and will not be soft when they can find trouble.

Fan Feng beckoned to the guys in the shop and said, "Come over and wait in the door and see what tricks Lao Ningtou plays." The ones in the library in the back are also called to me! ”

He arranged for his hands to walk to the door with square steps, and saw Ning Ao with twenty or thirty people huhula la to the door of Zheng Ji Meixi. Fan Feng saw that there were only a dozen or so people at hand, far from being busy, and he whispered to the young man to report to Wan Da Steward, knowing that he had taken two steps forward, he arched his hand, and he was not serious, and he didn't smile when he saw the polite skin, but he didn't smile: "Ning Da Steward is a rare guest." What's the point? ”

Ning Ao ignored him with a straight face, squinted at the man in green shirt beside him, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Close the account room." ”

Fan Feng's nose is crooked, when he is dead?! Fiercely put down his hand and summoned the man to come out and block the door of the shop, and said sharply: "What is the steward Ning doing?" Take advantage of the fifth master and the eighth master to find trouble while they are not at home, right? When we're eating for nothing?! "When he said the fifth master and the eighth master, he specially raised his arm to the sky and hugged his wrist to show respect, and it was not without the meaning of taking the master to oppress people, a pair of triangular eyes stood and stared at Ning Ao...

Ning Ao still ignored it. To those who paused in their own footsteps: "Seal the account room." ”

These people who came out were all extremely strong, there were Nianshoutang guys that Fan Feng recognized, and there were also people he didn't know, rolling up their arms and sleeves, and running to the door of the shop, and they came with the intention of doing something.

Although business on Mui Rhi Street has been generally bleak recently. But it's not that there is not even a pedestrian, some people see the crowd here, they also stop to watch the excitement, and the surrounding shops are idle and boring, and the shopkeepers are all tiptoeing to look here, and they are also far away in a circle.

Fan Feng was suspicious when he saw this posture, although the old man Ning was practicing horizontally, he would not do anything that would damage the face of the Nian family. Now it's even if it's finding fault...... Before he could speak, the two armies had already encountered one place, one side wanted to enter, and the other side would not let them, although they did not fight, they were also pulling and tearing each other.

He shouted a few times, couldn't stop it, took two steps in front of Ning Ao, pointed around, and watched the excitement and reprimanded: "Does Ning Da Steward still want to be decent?" When the street is going to be murdered, can you be strong?! If the master is not there, you will be against the sky, ......" Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly bumped by someone. But it was Zheng Jidi's young man who was pushed down by Ning Ao's people. Fan Feng was unsteady on his feet at this moment, and he was still holding a wooden man with a forward hand. It looked really funny, and there were people laughing in the crowd around him.

Fan Feng was annoyed when he heard the ridicule, and when he looked up and saw that Ning Ao and the others were all disdainful, he was even more angry, and he overturned the young man who had just stood firmly to the ground, and scolded: "Damn, blind your dog's eyes!" He shouted angrily at the back: "Stop it!" ”

He straightened up, raised his hand, and pointed to the plaque hanging high on the ground. Xiang Ning said: "The surname is Ningdi, we respect you and call you a big steward, where are you the big steward?" Do you like what is written on this plaque? Write what! Zheng Kee! Zheng Kee!! It's not that Nianjudo can't take your turn to be the chief steward of Nianjutang to point fingers!! TmD: Did you guys come to the Zheng family? Be careful to annoy Lao Tzu and report to the official. Everyone's faceless! ”

Ning Ao hadn't spoken yet. The man in green shirt beside him said, "It turns out that you still know that this is Zheng Ji." Who is Zheng Kee? It's your turn to play tricks on your side? ”

Fan Feng looked at this person early in the morning and didn't know him at all. But the green clothes and embroidery patterns showed that this person was a first-class housekeeper in the Nian Mansion, and he speculated in his heart about this person's identity, snorted and said, "Since it is from the house, do you still need to ask?" As he spoke, he held his wrists with both hands and raised his head, and said: "Zheng Ji is the eldest lady of our family, the sixth master is young and frail, our fifth master, who is an uncle, cherishes his nephew, and he has sent us here to take care of it for more than ten years." What does this person have to say? ”

The man smiled and raised his hand slightly, and said, "Under the Xia, Wei Kai is beside the sixth master." On the order of the sixth master, the account room was sealed, and the account books were taken back for inspection. ”

Fan Feng blinked his eyes in shock for a moment, and suddenly sneered at Ning Ao, "Didn't you say that you only listen to the old lady?" But I slapped myself in the mouth. ”

Ning Ao snorted coldly, and Wei Kai took over and said, "The matter of Nianshoutang is naturally to listen to the old lady. The sixth master is now asking the chief steward Ning to help. As he spoke, he sank his face and said: "Since you know that it is the sixth master's shop, the sixth master wants to check the accounts, do you dare to stop it?" Get out of the way! ”

Fan Feng sneered: "Steward Wei? Are you going to take it to Meizhou to see?! Hello skills?! That's the account! Don't say that you came, the sixth master came in person, and I learned that the fifth master would move again! The fifth master is now in Beijing, and when the fifth master comes back and nods, you can come and get it again. ”

He kept talking, didn't pay attention to the passing carriage, who stopped and who walked, and still said in a low voice: "You are also young and the sixth master is talking about things!" You say that the sixth master is the sixth master? Want to coax me?! The sixth master doesn't know what's going on in bed in Meizhou Zhuangzi at this time! Who doesn't know the body of the sixth master? You are pulling the tiger skin is the banner, if you want to find fault, why don't you say the big master?! ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd was suddenly separated by a group of Tsing Yi attendants, and two people walked in. A young man in his early twenties who Fan Feng didn't recognize, was not tall, thin, handsome, and wore a brocade shirt and a weak son. Another...... It turned out to be Wen Tingjian, the prefect of Jinzhou! Although Governor Wen was dressed in casual clothes, Fan Feng had seen him from afar at two New Year's Mansion banquets, and he would never be mistaken.

Fan Feng was surprised, his attitude immediately softened, and he hurriedly went over to salute the prefect before he got closer. I heard the people on Ning Ao's side bow down and say, "Sixth Master." ”

One person's voice is not loud, and the voices of ten people together are not small, especially the name...... Like a flat ground, the thunder shook Fan Feng's ears numb, and his scalp was crispy, but he just turned around and scolded the sixth master. The sixth master fell from the sky, and he really walked the word "mold", and what is even more surprising is that the sixth master is not recuperating in Meizhou? He clearly remembered that before the fifth master left, when he was drinking with a housekeeper in the house, the other party also mentioned it in passing, saying that the letter he got here was the sixth master's body, and the bones were broken, and he would have to be a year younger if he raised it. Before winter, it is fast to be able to get off the ground on crutches.

He took a special look at the young man's legs, and for a moment he began to suspect that someone was pretending to make such a big formation, and he was going to make the next trick?! A cold sweat also came out of his back, and the only way to do this is to have only one word: "drag". Wait for the shopkeeper Wan Yi to come over, and then say that Wan Yi is the one who recognizes the sixth master. The sky is falling, and there is a tall man on top of him, hey, don't make do.

The prefect over there was dressed in casual clothes. The sixth master introduced that although Master Wen and Ning Ao and others knew about it, they did not tell it. Fan Feng had a few words in his heart, his face was full of smiles, and he said to the ground and said hello to the master.

The prefect naturally ignored him, smiled and nodded to the Wen prefect in respect, and then took a few steps forward and smiled. Xiang Fan Feng reprimanded: "Are you the shopkeeper of the plum rhino semicolon?" What's going on here? Look at how many people on the street look at sincerity, and my family's reputation is not good? ”

Fan Feng's intestines are all tendoned, and his heart is not like you calling someone to make trouble! Instead, it was a rake! But the people are the masters, and they are the sons and daughters of the landlords, the ancestors! The master has a big mouth, let's talk about it. He bowed down and smiled, "Yes." Little Fan Feng. The fifth master sent by the fifth master to take care of the Meixi semicolon was lifted. Seal the small shopkeeper. The little one has always been careful to follow the orders of the fifth master, and he has never exceeded the rules, and the sixth master has been clearly observed. Today, this is the shop where the manager of Ning University doesn't know what it means to come to seal the Meixi branch! How can you say this, how dare you call the shots, how can you ask the fifth master......"

Every word in his mouth was inseparable, the fifth master's eyes were touched, and he hated the messenger in his heart, why did he run so slowly, why didn't Wan Yi come!

The sixth master snorted and said, "The master called someone to seal the account room to check the accounts, why do you mean that you are blocking the door?" Don't? It's the other way around. I'll figure it out with you later! As he spoke, he raised his chin to Wei Kai and said, "Don't go get it yet!" He turned to Ning Ao and nodded and smiled: "It's hard work." ”

Ning Ao hugged his wrist and looked at the sixth master with such a heart, he was very relieved, and yesterday he said to the sixth master that he would lift the master's shelf to be more horizontal, so as to suppress the villain who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, the sixth master only smiled silently, and he said that the sixth master of Sven couldn't do such a horizontal strength. Today, when I saw the cold face of the sixth master, it was also very bluffing.

When Wei Kai heard this, he hurriedly led people forward, Fan Feng hurriedly asked someone to stop him, and came to the sixth master, and said in a low voice: "Sixth master, do you want to inform the fifth master?" Don't you call it hard to do small land? Why don't you wait a moment and someone will go to ask Wanda Steward for a while......"

The sixth master did not whisper: "Presumptuous! Do you have to wait for your permission to check your own shop? Bastard, you didn't have a curse before, grandpa hasn't bothered with you, you're getting more and more faced? It is time for you to confess your master. ”

Before Fan Feng could shout grievances, a group of green-shirted family members came up from behind, and they couldn't help but say that they would hit the ground and beat them. Fan Feng was pressed and struggled to open his mouth and shouted: "The little one is the fifth master......" Before he finished speaking, one of them reprimanded loudly: "Insult the master, confront the master, and don't break his mouth!" ”

Those family members were extremely ruthless, pulled out a five-inch-long thick bamboo ruler, grabbed Fan Feng's head, and slapped his mouth a few times, the flesh and blood were blurred, and his teeth spit out to the ground, and now he couldn't shout if he wanted to shout injustice. Fan Feng was beaten, those guys who were blocked at the door, who dared to retreat, Wei Kai led people into the inner hall, packed up the account room, and carried them away.

Here, the sixth master turned around and retreated to Governor Wen's mansion and said in a low voice: "Some housework made Uncle Shi laugh. Before I could think that this slave was bold enough to pollute the eyes of adults, it was really the nephew's sin. Uncle Shi's shop, please ......" His face was light, his smile was kind, his voice was calm, and he looked like a humble son, as if nothing had happened there.

Wen Tingjian's face was very ugly, and he regretted it very much.

Early in the morning, the sixth master from Meizhou came to visit, and he left a generous gift and spoke closely. Although he has some friendship with the fifth master of the year, Nian Qi has some friendship, but the affairs of the Nian family are not known, and the nephew of the fifth master is here, and he is the eldest grandson of the middle-aged family in Beijing. In the future, how can he be lazy! Besides, isn't there a great gift here? So these two and a half sentences were called by the uncle and nephew.

This year, the sixth master was gentle and elegant, and he advanced and retreated to a certain extent, which was said to be unfortunate. Uncle returned to Beijing and was in Jinzhou Mansion during this time, so he had to ask Uncle Wen to take care of him a lot, and at noon, Fengle Lou set up wine, and invited Uncle Shi to appreciate his face, and said that Zheng Ji Shop was close to rì into a batch of new goods, and it was difficult to buy some good goods at this time, so he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha and honor Uncle Shi, but I didn't know what Uncle Shi was good about, because it was a way to Fengle Building. I also asked Uncle Shi to move and take a look.

Wen Tingjian has good wine, sè, and wealth in his life, and there is still a matter of urgency waiting to be filled with money, seeing that this young family master is so good and has given him enough face, he is very happy, and there is nothing to do in the yamen, so he is happy to follow. I still want to make long-term calculations, who knows if I will hit this one!

He knew that he hadn't yet calculated, but people had been calculated, and this year, the sixth master was deliberately asking him to see this scene and what would happen in the future. The sixth year of the year can be said with a big mouth, and the prefect has also seen it himself! He was angry and annoyed, faintly and a little frightened, the sixth master of the year did such a formation, is he deliberately looking for trouble with the fifth master? The middle-aged man in Beijing is still far away from him, but Nian Qi is his superior. He stepped into this puddle of water and offended the wind and thunder, and the year was very bad.

He lowered his face and whispered, "What does Sixth Master Nian mean?" The blue sky and white rì Lang Lang Qiankun committed murder on the street, so that the official ......"

As he was talking, Gan took a double-layer suitcase out of the shop and handed it to the sixth master, slightly lifted the lid and looked at it with the sixth master and Wen Zhifu. The sixth master smiled lightly: "Uncle Shi said that these are family matters. That slave is the nephew's house slave, and he doesn't listen to discipline and teach him some lessons, but he doesn't commit murder. Uncle Shi, you see, this is the rhino hairpin and the pearl of the South China Sea in the vortex country, if you still get into the nephew of Uncle Shi's eyes, you will be sent to the house. People say that this hairpin woman uses it. Dustless. The aunts must be happy to think of it. ”

The prefect blinked, looking at the beaded chain, thinking about the slender and feminine neck. Secretly swallowed his saliva and coughed twice: "It is inconvenient for the nephew and the family official to interfere, but don't let the people look at it like this......"

"Yes, yes...... The nephew knew he was wrong. I was really angry with that minion. The sixth master said angrily, but there was no anger on his face.

Who called the hands of the people who took the short? Who is still thinking about the long-term exchange in the future? Wen Tingjian snorted twice in his heart, and now he can only infer that it is the internal affairs of the Nian family, and it is difficult for Qing officials to decide on family affairs, how can he manage them? And it's just a family child, a mistake, and it's nothing to say about being killed behind closed doors, just don't be on the street.

He just waited for the sixth master to call the housework of the sixth master to deal with it at home, and he went over there to hurry up and the group came over, and it was Wan Yi, the chief manager of Zheng Ji Shop. http:。 Wan Yi looked at Wen Tingjian and was stunned, just when he came over to salute, Wen Tingjian casually said, "Master Wen", he will see Chang Li, and then come to ask for the peace of his master. He had seen the sixth master when he was a teenager and said with a smile on his face: "When did the sixth master come to Jinzhou, the little ones don't even know that it's really a sin." ”

"Wan Da Steward." The sixth master said lightly: "You came just in time, and the master asked someone to take an account, and your people blocked it upside down, so it was a big posture." Disobedience? The account master of the good Mei Xi branch took you with himself, and sent the five families and your general ledger to the master today, and sent it to the house on Nanxian Street. ”

Wan Yi wiped the sweat from the corner of his forehead, and couldn't write words for two years, when did the sixth master, who had always been gentle, take the eighth master and said with a smile: "The sixth master, these five masters are not in Jinzhou, and the little ones are ......."

The sixth master raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Fifth Uncle and I are my own uncle and nephew, why do you need to talk too much?" Or do you need to tell you whose shop this is? It's bad! After his beating, he came over and took out a few deeds and other deeds in his arms, and the sixth master said coldly: "Wan Da Steward wants to ask Master Wen to check the authenticity of this deed?!" ”

Wan Yida saw these people and knew what the sixth master wanted to do, and he was also secretly shocked, the fifth master used the land to check the accounts, and took away the Zheng family's companion room and took over the shop, and now the sixth master has moved back in the same way...... Not to mention that his brain was messed up for a while, and he came up with a good rut, and said that the fifth master had gone north, and under the holy decree, who dared to delay, there would be no return, and the eighth master was in Beijing early in the morning, and there was no master in Jinzhou Mansion who could sit on an equal footing with the sixth master, no matter how they said it, they were all slaves. The sixth master is determined to do this, both to occupy the power and reason, they have no way at all. Besides, this Wen prefect ......

He said in his mouth, he didn't dare to look at the prefect in the morning, and the prefect and the fifth master also had some friendship, and he didn't expect Yi to stand on his side at this time. But even if it's mud, it's fine.

Wen Tingjian, not to mention the intestines, heart, liver, spleen, stomach and lungs, there is no one who is not repentant, but the matter has come to this point, so he can only grit his teeth and stand up. This is a housework affair of the Nian family. He can't take care of it. He began to hypnotize himself, his face calm, his eyes did not know where to fall, and he turned a blind eye to the things that were close to him.

The sixth master said with frost on his face: "Don't dare? Is there anything else in the world that you don't dare? You should remember how much money you have paid to Beijing in the past two years, right? ”

Wan Yi's pupils contracted suddenly, and there was something to pay for. But can he say that the fifth master will not let him pay the account? How to do the account, he knows best in his heart, the fifth master had no fear, pure heart and anger, there is no intention to make fake accounts to cover up, now don't say that today is to give three or five days, how can the three or five years of accounts be adjusted! Besides, the largest semicolon Mei Xi semicolon account has fallen into the hands of the sixth master......

He had seen the sixth master when he was a teenager, his face was always sickly, his pale smile was also weak, his eyes were full of gentle light, he was very polite to them, and he was polite to them, the stewards outside. It is said that the sixth master is smart. But he is only a scholar, smart, a weak crown boy, and he is sick, can he be so powerful?

Now it's ......

The sixth master didn't swallow any more tepidly. It turned out to be aggressive: "Ye is sick in Beijing, but you have moved the silver of the decoction that Ye saved his life, how kind of intentions are you?" What else would you dare? The fifth uncle has always loved me, and the dividends are very special and divide me into two percent, and you black-hearted masters dare to harm you?! Fifth Uncle was blinded by you, is it stupid to look at the master? Or do you think you won't live long? Can't come to settle accounts with you?! ”

As soon as these words came out, Wan Yi couldn't even laugh with laughter. Sixth Master, this is not only to close the shop, but also to kill them!

He quickly glanced at the surrounding crowd of disdainful eyes and muttering, and then looked at the prefect like a mud bodhisattva, and said tightly: "The little wronged sixth master has misunderstood." Let's go back. The small ones are reported carefully and listened to by the master. ”

When the sixth master's goal was achieved, he waved his hand and said, "Okay." Take the ledger to Nanxian Street to pay a detailed gift. The sixth master turned around. The body made a gesture of invitation in the direction where the car was parked, and said to Wen Tingjian: "Uncle Shi, don't let this group of minions disturb your interest, please ......."

Wen Tingjian was no longer half interested, and it was not easy to be angry, he gritted his teeth and flicked his sleeves to get into the car, and when the box of Zheng Ji's shop was handed over to him, he was a little relieved. Fengle Lou's banquet was impeccable, Wen Tingjian had something in his heart, but he was not happy to eat at all. Back to the back hall, summon the master to discuss today's affairs, the master has not yet come, but his wife has come with three somewhat decent concubines.

"The master is back! I have good things to say to you. Mrs. Wen put the lacquer carved flower inlaid jade box in her hand on the table next to Wen Tingjian.

Wen Tingjian frowned. His wife is a country mother-in-law, she has always been vulgar, she has never seen much of the world, and after the first time he brought her to office, he caused a lot of jokes, and he didn't bother to take her to the post, of course, this is also to facilitate the concubine. Now it's because the widow in the countryside is gone, and there is no reason for his wife to guard his hometown, so he has to take it. Fang Cai Nian Sixth Master came to visit his sixth master's second room, nǎinǎi, and went to the back to visit his wife, look at this exquisite box, it should be a gift from Nian Ernǎinǎi.

Thinking of Nian's family, he was depressed and said angrily: "What's a good thing? ”

"That's it!" Mrs. Wen happily opened the box, and there was a set of eight pure gold crabs inlaid with colorful gemstones, which were brilliant and beautiful. She said beautifully: "Master, look at it, it's worth a thousand eight hundred taels or something...... What's the board? She turned to ask a concubine.

The little concubine said with disdain in her heart and a smile on her face: "Limited edition." It is said that there are only five sets of the entire Daqin! Because of the limited price, I am afraid that it will be more than ten times higher. "Wen Tingjian is actually not elegant, where to go to the antique collection, I don't understand antiques, this thing is worth a sky-high price, and someone has to buy it, right? If no one buys a nest, it's worthless. He only looked at the gold and silver as good, so he didn't care about the ten times the price, but only looked at the gold and glitter, and it must be worth a lot.

He felt a little more comfortable in his heart and snorted, "This is the good thing you said?" "I've never seen the world! Even if it is 1,800 taels and those on his deficit, it is a drop in the bucket.

Mrs. Wen said: "No, no! For a while, there are eight pieces of land crabs in Linlang Pavilion, and Jinzhou can't buy them, and Yan Hong said. The next family land is not as decent as the Linlang Pavilion. Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival lord is still thinking about inviting Master Pan to the banquet, why don't you ask this aunt of the Nian family to get us more than a dozen sets of dozens of sets of eight pieces of Linlang Pavilion ground crabs, let's set up a crab feast, which is decent and ......."

Wen Tingjian rolled his eyes and glared at his wife. interrupted her and said, "Nonsense, do you know what kind of family the Nian family is?" You just ask people for something? "The point is that this stupid woman actually only needs a few sets of crabs and eight pieces and has never seen the world! Haven't seen the world!

Mrs. Wen pouted, "It's just an aunt!" I still thought in my head that Nian Jiate was so contemptuous that he called an aunt to come and talk to my wife. Who knew that the sixth master was a tuberculosis that year, and he didn't have a main house......"

"Shut up! Shaohun said! Wen Tingjian said impatiently: "What a mess." Don't mess around here and go back to the back hall! ”

"Where am I talking nonsense! It's a tuberculosis in the first place! Didn't they ask you to do something? It's still cheaper for him to ask him for two sets of crabs and eight pieces! She paused, suddenly waved her hand, beat the concubines, went out, came to Wen Tingjian and whispered: "I'm not also anxious about your 130,000 two places of famine!" Doesn't it mean that if you don't plug it, you have no official hat and no head? You see, isn't this God's help, thinking about it, someone will send it to the door, see they are so generous with gifts. The 130,000 taels of silver will be reconciled with them......"

Her words were rudely interrupted before she finished her words again, and this time it was not an angry reprimand, but a slap in the face, Wen Tingjian said: "Don't talk nonsense! Do you know who he is? Is his silver easy to take?! ”

"Then my aunt said that he has no official or knight...... Besides, it's still a tuberculosis ......," Mrs. Wen said, covering her cheeks.

Tuberculosis? mD。 More jīng than ghosts! Governor Wen waved his hand with a calm face: "You go to the back hall!" ”

Is it easy for him to take the money? Although it is reasonable to say that he has offended his uncle now, and he is afraid that he can only rely on himself in Jinzhou Mansion, but this person dares to be afraid like this, and it is not without background...... If you can't think about it, you can't think about it, and you have to be cautious as a last resort......

Mrs. Wen snorted. rubbed his cheeks and walked out, and he was glad that the concubine was beaten out, otherwise he would not have the prestige of the lady of the main house. Then I thought about it, and there were red marks...... No, I'll have to go back with my handkerchief in a while. Go back and rub more powder......

Nanxian Street Nianfu

How did the fifth master get the Zheng family to accompany the room. Now that this year, how did he drive the people of the fifth master out of Zheng Ji's shop and make a fuss about the accounts. Time-tested.

Then it was the handling of the stewards, who beat Fan Feng, but beat a dog of the fifth uncle, Wan Yi was not easy to kill, and the stewards of that generation had served their grandparents and had to take care of the face of the old man. It's just a matter of making it difficult for him, anyway, he just wants to take back the shop, and recovering the silver taken by the fifth uncle is a dream in vain, and he actually doesn't care much about the silver, and the most important thing is that the shop given by his mother must not be taken by anyone.

Gong Ji, the chief steward next to the fifth master, also came to visit the master, and wanted to say a few words about the year's forgiveness, the first to seize the house deed, the title deed and the accounts that found out the problem, patted on the table, Gong Ji wanted to go around in circles, and what was even worse was that there was the fact that he had not paid the account for all these years, and all he could do was to send a letter to the fifth master quickly.

Nian Liang knew that it was impossible for the fifth master to rush back in August, and the eighth would not be able to come back before choosing the concubine, and besides, he had to run for half a month on a horse from Beijing to Jinzhou, and he was enough to hold the shop firmly in his hands during this time. And even if they come back, he is not afraid of any public opinion, the foundation has been laid, and Wen Tingjian has been dragged as a witness, he is putting all the blame on the slaves, if the fifth uncle comes back to find trouble, it will immediately become a drama of "uncle bullying young nephews and forcibly occupying the shop", they also have to weigh it, no.

He wrote three carefully worded letters to his father, fifth uncle, and grandparents, and then began the exchange blood project. It is impossible to change blood for a while, recruit too many people, the good and the bad are uneven, it is easier to have accidents, and there are too many laymen, which is not conducive to the operation of the shop, he only replaced the high-level managers with his own people, fortunately, he screened a lot of available people in Nianshoutang and Wanghaizhuang, Nianshoutang was not used, but it was first used in his mother's shop.

He finally became the true owner of the shop that he had always missed his mother.

Then he started to have a headache with business problems. He didn't know how to do business in the first place, and now the situation is like this, the more difficult it is to do the business of southern goods. He doesn't care how much money he can make, anyway, he has an industry in Meizhou, but he doesn't want his mother's shop to close in his hands.

"Let's sell our own stuff. Wheelchairs and strollers for Zhishanzhai. It's good to go south, and we won't smuggle it anyway...... Oh, I mean, it's easy to get back to each other. Xia Xiaoman suggested. Eight crabs in Linlang Pavilion are also good, although there are eight crabs here, but there are few key points, and there is no Linlang Pavilion. People here still recognize Linlang Pavilion. ”

Since Dou Xuyuan was arrested, Nian Liang has not signed any dealers, and the things of Zhishanzhai and Linlangge here in Jinzhou are basically out of stock. In June and July, when the crab shook off the seed shell and the meat was empty, no one was willing to eat it, so naturally there were few people who wanted to buy eight crabs. Merchants don't like to buy goods, so there are not many crabs from other families on the market.

"See, August 15......," she said. It's the peak time for crab-eating again.

"Let's take a look at it less." Nian Liang shook his head and said, "Crab eight pieces...... Because of the case that is still being investigated, Jinzhou is also panicked, and the big families are interested in eating crabs and opening crab feasts, I don't know if there are any more. ”

"It's just that those officials in Jinzhou are panicking." Xia Xiaoman pouted and said, "The people who went back are all important members, everyone has a background, and everyone has a substitute for the dead ghosts. These people at the bottom don't know who the upper class will sacrifice, so they are naturally panicked. But it has nothing to do with the wealthy businessmen.

"How many wealthy families in Jinzhou don't do southern goods business?" Nian Liang is still not very optimistic. "Where is the interest in the business of southern goods so bad?"

Xia Xiaoman continued to pout, you are in a hurry, and everyone else is in a hurry. In fact, the rich have a sense of crisis, just a few people in charge of the family, most of the moths are still too rich and noble, just like when the Red Mansion and Jiafu are about to collapse, don't they still eat a banquet on the left and a banquet on the right? Moreover, it is not for nothing that there are people who play the last rì carnival.

"We'll have to wait and see. Didn't you say that you didn't miss the income of these shops, then take the silver to top it first, and this situation can't last forever, and the results of the trial in Beijing are out. These people will be able to do their jobs, and business will improve. She had no choice but to say.

"Hmm...... That's all I can think about. He sighed.

In August, the crabs began to gain weight, and sure enough, no crisis could stifle people's appetite. But there are not many crab feasts in large households, and the crab business is not as good as Xia Xiaoman thought, and it can earn back the wages of the workers in the salt tea shop for a few months. This formalistic stuff. Profits can only be made from the high-end luxury market. Corrupt officials with deep pockets don't buy the most expensive ones anymore. No matter how much a medium person buys, the profit is limited.

On August 15, there are still banquets, such as the prefect Wen Tingjian. The sixth master naturally accepted the invitation. And his second-room Aunt Xia was also invited because she provided more than a dozen sets of famous brands for the prefect's wife, and eight pieces of crabs from the Langge Pavilion.

The banquet is at noon, so as not to delay the evening, and everyone reunites to enjoy the moon. This banquet should be beautiful, the food and utensils should be wonderful, but unfortunately the Di Bao arrived at this time, and read the headlines, although these officials are in a good mood, they must make Qi Rong to come to the banquet, and they must not end hastily.

It was an obituary.

General Wu, who was conquering the Northwest Bone Domain, was killed by a traitor and was beheaded in the camp in the middle of the night. The next rì Tatar raised the head of General Wu and began to storm the Great Qin army. The Great Qin army was weakened for a while, losing several battles in a row and losing two large cities. Later, the whole army met the enemy, and it was extremely ferocious, and he captured a city and came back. It's a pity that he didn't have a respite, and was attacked by another feudal clan, the Gino Division, and lost the city again. In three fierce battles in a row, several generals were killed, and the army was almost wiped out, and the remnants retreated to Lizhou City. Since then, all seven cities west of Lizhou City have fallen into the hands of the Tartars. When the news came back to Beijing, the emperor was furious, and he mobilized troops everywhere and vowed to destroy the two snow shames of Gu and Gino.

The national silence is certain, so the crab feast in Jinzhou is especially out of place, and it is advisable to disperse early.

"This time these people are down-to-earth." Back in the house, Nian Liang smiled and said to Xia Xiaoman: "The emperor pays attention to the case of Pan Suppression in the northwest, I'm afraid it will be let go." ”

"It's always hanging. But these people also get by. Xia Xiaoman took out a shell of crab roe and threw it into his mouth. About 29 days in the previous two months, her menstrual period did not arrive on the fifteenth, so she was relieved and bold to follow the group of noble ladies to eat crabs. But today's elegant banquet is to take eight pieces of crabs, and the crabs have not been eaten for half a day, and after a while, the work is reported again, and the banquet is completely disturbed, and it will not be eaten. When she hooked up the greedy worm and went home, she called the boiled crab too much.

"You also eat less in the end." Nian Liang still said very briskly: "After the concubine is selected in August, the eighth child will not come back." The fifth uncle is an elder, and he can't do anything, so he seems to have given Wen Tingjian a gift in vain. ”

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "It's not so serious to eat two to satisfy your cravings." Instead, he interrupted, "How do you know he's not coming back?" ”

He looked at her gnawing on the crab claw and smiled helplessly before saying, "General Wu was martyred." Haven't they taken the opportunity to take the fifth daughter-in-law under the knife? The eighth is also a good shop, I asked these shops in Jinzhou, and when the accounts were reported at the end of the month, the eighth also listened to the account. He had been waiting for a good vacancy, so he didn't become an official, where to wait for a vacancy, not waiting, now is a good time, instead of coming back and tearing up with me, it is better to get the Jingli shop. ”

She smiled: "You have a title deed, and he doesn't have much chance of winning." The five masters and the seven masters in the capital are all concubines, and he is a concubine, and he is ......a concubine."

"Not in that one." He said: "The shop is the shop of the Nian family. It turned out that the third uncle was dismissed and did not enter the project and had nothing to do, so he took care of him, and the third uncle was not good at taking care of it, but because those who could go to the official career were all going to the official career, and no one was available, except for the housekeeper, there must always be his own family to listen to the accounts, so he has been using him, and then the fifth child has been taking care of it better, so it has been handed over to the third room. How many accidents have occurred in the third room now? The two old ancestors were tired of it in the morning, and if someone used it, they wouldn't use them, and besides, grandmother has always loved the most, and the fifth uncle also loves the old

Really sour. She always felt that when he was talking about the pain of the ancestor of the fifth room, with a sense of jealousy, she smiled and broke a complete clip of meat, and handed it to the mouth of this guy who seemed to be extremely mature but always inadvertently showed childishness.

He was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, looked at the crab meat, and then looked at her, picked the corner of his mouth, and pecked her hand quickly, and then took it to his mouth and chewed it, revealing the expression of a child who steals candy. She took a sip, rubbed her hands on her clothes in an exaggerated way, and continued to dismantle her crab as if nothing had happened.

He sat down and smiled and whispered, "Today is a reunion, and it is not evening ...... Kwai Shui."

She gave him a blank look and said angrily, "It's going to be midnight?" ”

The tone is fierce, but the face is as red as the boiled crab on the plate.

The lower his voice became, "Then don't wait for midnight......"

It doesn't count as a word count divider
